Six Essential Materials & The Architects That Love Them
In case you missed it, we're re-publishing this popular post for your material pleasure. Enjoy!
To celebrate the recent launch of our US product catalog, ArchDaily Materials, we've coupled six iconic architects with what we deem to be their favourite or most frequently used material. From Oscar Neimeyer's sinuous use of concrete to Kengo Kuma's innovative use of wood, which materials define some of the world's best known architects?

The Case For Tall Wood Buildings
Michael Green is calling for a drastic paradigm shift in the way we build. Forget steel, straw, concrete and shipping containers; use wood to erect urban skyscrapers. In a 240 page report – complete with diagrams, plans, renders and even typical wooden curtain wall details – Green outlines a new way of designing and constructing tall buildings using mass timber, all the while addressing common misconceptions of fire safety, structure, sustainability, cost and climate concerns.
SOM Gets Behind Wooden Skyscraper Design
Although known for their iconic skyscrapers of glass and steel, SOM has begun to redefine our idea of the high-rise by pushing for wood as an alternative material for tall buildings. Not only could it help solve the worldwide problem of housing for those who are or will live in cities, but wooden skyscrapers could also address climate change by reducing a building's carbon footprint. Click here to read about the structural system that SOM has come up with and don't check out our previous coverage on the equally fascinating Timber Tower Research Project!
Video: Koyasan Guest House / Alphaville Architects
Kyoto-based architects Kentaro Takeguchi and Asako Yamamoto of Alphaville Architects have completed a small guest house for tourists visiting the sacred Koyasan (Mt. Koya) in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. The 96 m2 (1,033 ft2) building contains bedrooms, capsule-style dormitory rooms, a bar, and lounge. Between the bar, hallway, and lounge, 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 timber frames are exposed inside at varying intervals to act as partitions

Hello Wood 2013: Step Closer!
Back for its fourth year, the creative camp Hello Wood was held last month in Hungary, set in the countryside north of Lake Balaton. At Hello Wood, 120 young designers and architects worked with leading experts to create installations which approach issues of society and community in architecture, ideas encompassed by this year's motto "Step Closer!" Twelve teams had one week to create these installations using timber as their primary material, with the projects being judged and a winner awarded at the end of the week.
Read on to find out about the installations, and which one was judged the winner, after the break
TED: Why We Should Build Wooden Skyscrapers / Michael Green
Building a skyscraper? Forget about steel and concrete, architect Michael Green says build it out of wood. As he details in this intriguing talk, it's not only possible to build safe wooden structures up to 30 stories tall (and, he hopes, higher), it's necessary.

Woodskin: The Flexible Timber Skin
Have you ever wanted to create delicate, complex shapes from plywood, but can't because it's too stiff and unforgiving? Well all that might soon change, thanks to Milan-based design studio MammaFotogramma. They have created a type of flexible, 'Woodskin' triangular tiles of Russian plywood.

Billon / Vincent Kohler
This stunning installation, created by Swiss sculpter Vincent Kohler, beautifully deconstructs the log. Titled "Billon", the 110 x 100 x 300 cm piece is made of wood, polystyrène, and résine.

TIMBER IN THE CITY: Urban Habitats Competition
The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) is pleased to announce TIMBER IN THE CITY: Urban Habitats Competition for the 2012-2013 academic year. The competition is a partnership between the Binational Softwood Lumber Council (BSLC), the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) and the School of Constructed Environments at Parsons The New School for Design (SCE).
The program is intended to engage students and recent graduates, working individually or in teams to imagine the repurposing of our existing cities with buildings that are made from renewable resources, offer expedient affordable construction, innovate with new and old wooden materials, and provide healthy living / working environments.
Camera Obscura / AA Visiting School Eugene 2012
A small group of diverse students participating in the inaugural AA Visiting School Eugene were given the responsibility to design and build something that would enhance and reflect the forest, within a ten-day timeframe.
More on the Camera Obscura after the break.
Interview: Krogmann Headquarters / Despang Architekten
The Headquarters Krogmann in Lohne-Kroge, Germany, by Despang Architekten investigates the numerous characteristics and fundamental opportunities inherent within wood and exhibits a modern approach to the craftsmanship of traditional German vernacular. Designed as a new corporate center of operations for the woodworking company Krogmann, this new office would need to succeed not only in handcrafting a new image for them, but also serve as a catalyst for future growth while showcasing their ability as 'makers' in the field of construction. Having worked as the builders for several projects for Despang Architekten, their choice to retain them as the design architects for their own project was a natural extension of an already solid relationship built upon the dedication to quality and progressiveness. As an extension of this article, we also had the opportunity to speak with Principal and University of Hawaii Associate Professor Martin Despang about the process involved in the making of this project.
More details and our Q&A with Martin after the break.
U.S. Forest Service develops Wood-based Nanomaterial
A wood-based nanomaterial composed of cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose nanofibrils is being evaluated at the Forest Products Laboratory, in support of a project at the Army Research Laboratory in Aberdeen, Maryland. The material, presumably stronger than Kevlar, is being produced to create clear composites as reinforced glass for clear applications. US Forest Services has opened a $1.7 million pilot plant in Wisconsin to develop the wood-based nanomaterial, whose future applications may include windshield and high performance glass.
Under development for three years, the material has the potential to be the strongest and optically clearest version of celllulose nano-fibrils. Because wood is a renewable resource, the Forest Products Laboratory is optimistic that as the material enters the market, it will help reduce fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, while promoting industry growth in rural areas.

HelloWood 2012: Social Architecture in Hungary
HelloWood - a creative, professional and social program with a message that mobilizes more and more young people – was organized for the 3rd year by MOMEline – designworks, together with its new partner Reflekt social architecture studio. The week-long creative camp included 200 Hungarian and international students who worked together to realize social and cultural spaces for eight north-eastern Hungarian communities. The social mission of the project was showcased at Sziget, Europe's Best Major Festival. Cameron Sinclair, the co-founder of Architecture for Humanity, commended HelloWood's inspirational initiative for aspiring to social change with thoughtful design for marginalized communities.
Join us after the break for details on some of the projects.

As revealed by Entertainment Software Rating Board listings, Lara Croft will be bringing her latest adventure--an updated remake of the very first Tomb Raider game--to Microsoft's Xbox 360 in episodic form.
The Eidos title has already been released on the PC and PlayStation 2 and will also be coming to the PlayStation Portable and the Wii. The newly confirmed 360 version will initially be available to download exclusively from the Xbox Live service in four episodes (despite the ESRB rating five installments)--the first two will be out in September, with the final two coming "shortly afterwards." However, there's one catch--gamers must own a copy of the 360 version of Tomb Raider Legend to download Anniversary.
The episodes will cost 2,400 Microsoft points (approximately £20.40) in total, and additional content, including picture and theme packs, will also be released, although no dates were given for these. A full retail version of the Xbox 360 edition will also be released before the end of the year.
For more information on the game, please see GameSpot's full review of the PS2 version of the game.

Since I polished off the teas from last January's TOMC, I figured I might as well back track to November of 2012, right? There were 3 selections in that box, with the first one being this 2012 autumn laoshan green. It may be over a year old, but it is still every bit as delicious as it was when it first arrived. Initially it has that classic Laoshan green brean kind of taste, but in the later steepings it takes on a buttery winter squash taste, & a sweet & creamy oatmeal quality as well. It's like a savory bowl of oatmeal with soymilk or maybe almond milk drizzled over the top.
I don't know why I don't drink these green teas more often. The ones from Laoshan village are so amazing!
Additional comments: The November 2012 box also included a package of Minnesota Northern Lakes Wild Rice, and adding a pinch to this tea makes the most wonderful Genmaicha. Just sayin'

Best Moments Of The Glamour Women Of The Year Awards
Contributed by: Senior Beauty Editor Amber Katz
Before Monday night's Glamour Women of the Year event, I had some prime real estate on the red carpet where I was able to catch many of the honorees and presenters on their way into the hall. The awards ceremony itself was a montage of inspirational quotes. Here, my favorite moments of inspiration, humor and beauty from the red carpet and the awards ceremony itself.
Steven Tyler

The hilarious Steven Tyler arrived with his entourage and immediately livened up the crowd. Said Steven Tyler on the red carpet about his group, "We're all here because we're not all there!"
Andie MacDowell

L'Oreal Spokeswoman Andie Macdowell, when asked about the designer of her dress, couldn't remember! Luckily, her plus one, daughter Rainey Qualley was there to check the tag for her.

Iman presented Rihanna's award to her and said, "Now I am even more impressed with her dignity and courage," Iman said, referring to Rihanna's admission that she'd sent the wrong message to fans by returning to ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who had assaulted her. Now, Rihanna will serve as a role model to victims of domestic violence. Iman looked so beautiful, I find it hard to believe she's even in the same species with the rest of us. It's a superhuman kind of beauty, dolls.
Maria Shriver

It has to be said: I defy you to show me an individual with a more impressive head of hair than Maria Shriver. She stunned in a smoky eye and neutral lip. Said Maria, "The greatest thing you can do is serve another person." Maria credited her mother, who passed away in August as her own role model.

Rihanna addressed the crowd in "the tightest dress [she] could find" about the "secret of domestic violence." Said Rihanna, "I love being part of a night where we are celebrating such strong women."
Serena Williams

Serena Williams was introduced by former Glamour Woman of the Year, Tyra Banks. Said Tyra about Serena, "It's not enough for her to play fierce. The girl has got to look smoking when she beats your ass." Serena told the crowd, "My dreams have always been to be #1, since I was young, be the best. You could do whatever you want to do; the most important belief is self-belief/self-love."
Stella McCartney
Photo: © Dimitrios Kambouris / WireImage.com
No fewer than THREE Beatle wives presented to Stella McCartney her award: Yoko Ono, Olivia Harrison and Barbara Starkey. Said Stella, "Ladies, girls up there in the balcony, never wear a skirt this short if you get an award." We think she donned that mini with style.
Marissa Mayer with Matt Lauer
Photo: © Dimitrios Kambouris / WireImage.com
Google exec Marissa Mayer was introduced by The Today Show's Matt Lauer as "the hot chick from Google." Marissa accepted her award with grace. Said Marissa, "To take a line from the Google homepage, I'm feeling very lucky."
Maya Angelou

Dr. Maya Angelou said "Glamour is profound. Glamour is saying I want to be as beautiful as I can be. To myself first and then to anyone who has enough sense to see me." Said Bill Clinton, who introduced her, "I have been blessed to know some truly remarkable women. I was born to one; I married one; and I helped to raise one. But I never knew one quite like Maya Angelou."
Dr. Jane Aronson with Katie Couric

Dr. Jane Aronson who works to improve the lives of orphans overseas and founded the Worldwide Orphans Foundation was one of the most amazing women I've ever seen in my life. Jane said, "You know, I've never had a surprise party. Until tonight." Jane told the crowd, "Whatever our kids have here, the children across the oceans must have the same." Just when I thought this saint of a woman and I had nothing in common (I'm far too shallow), she admitted she liked being an FOG (Friend of Glamour)… especially when it comes to rocking false lashes.
Laura Ling and Euna Lee

Laura Ling and Euna Lee said that they didn't ask to be in the spotlight, they said, but because they are in it, they're going to use it for good. The duo made even more of an impact when they were joined by Euna's daughter on the stage.
Susan Rice

When Susan Rice, US Ambassador to the United Nations received her award from Michael Douglas, she said, "Talent, courage and confidence are the best forms of beauty." To Dr. Jane Aronson, of whose work she said she was not previously aware, she said, "We could do some real damage together."
Amy Poehler

But it was Amy Poehler who delivered (deadpanned, I should say) my favorite quote of the night. "Girls. If a boy says something that isn't funny… you don't have to laugh."

Glamour's Women of the Year Awards
Last night, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the annual Glamour Women of the Year awards held at Carnegie Hall . The event was sponsored by L'Oréal Paris to honor courageous women who are changing the world. To say this event was inspiring doesn't nearly do it justice. Glamour Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leivi said that this was her favorite night of the year, and I left agreeing with her. It was MY favorite night of the year by far. To be in the same room with Bill Clinton, Stella McCartney, Yoko Ono, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Maya Angelou, Amy Poehler and Laura Ling and Euna Lee, to name a few, was an experience unlike any other. In fact, Cindi Leivi mentioned that so many of the attendees each year ask to bring their daughters to the event, that the magazine is actually concerned that they'll have to seek out a larger venue than Carnegie Hall next year. And if that's the case, Cindi says, so be it! "Sharing this evening with your daughters is so integral to the theme of this event."
Before the awards, I were invited by Glamour to partake in a little pre-party makeover courtesy of L'Oreal Paris. Thanks to the brand's expert on-site hair and makeup gurus, my boring weekday locks were transformed into a Kate Hudson waves while I got decked out in a smoky eye paired with a pink lip. My favorite products used included L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Hydra Collagen Mascara, L'Oreal HIP Metallic Shadow Duo in Gunmetal, and L'Oreal Infallible Plumping Lip Gloss in Plumped Rose. Check out the transformation, above.
After my makeover, I felt ready to tackle a red carpet press section (have you ever done it? It's an adrenaline rush like no other, but MAN does it get aggressive up in there!) and a celeb-studded affair shortly thereafter. In fact, I think this quote from Maya Angelou's acceptance speech last night after she received her lifetime achievement award says it all: "Glamour is being beautiful to myself first. And THEN to anyone else who cares to see it."
Stay tuned for a Glamour Women of the Year red carpet and recap, in addition to a summary of the event itself!

Get Into The MicroZone With Dermalogica
Photo: Dermalogica.
Yesterday afternoon, I journeyed on down to SoHo for a MicroZone treatment at Dermalogica and am totally impressed. It's priced at a reasonable $35 for 20 minutes, so I was pretty bowled over when I learned that my Dermalogica skin therapist, the very knowledgeable and talented Sarah Longton, was going to give me a pretty thorough facial which included extractions in my T-zone. The best part is that each treatment is zone-specific and absolutely customized, so that you leave the store with expert tips, product recommendations, and less sebum clogging your pores. Can you ASK for more in 20 minutes? Oh, wait, you can! Your Dermalogica skin therapist will even include his or her email address on your face mapping prescription sheet so that you can follow up with questions post-treatment.
During my customized treatment, Sarah gave me a few great tips. She advised me to wash my face in the shower after I wash my hair so as to ensure all acne-causing hair conditioning agents are effaced from my facial. Genius. She also advised that I wash inside my ears with my face wash (she put me on Dermalogica UltraCalming Cleanser) to fight ear blackheads. I felt really sexy after that, but know what? We're all about solutions to unsexy problems here at DM, so at least I have the ammo to annihilate this issue of which I was previously blissfully unaware. Lastly, Sarah reminded me that products designed for your face should actually be used all over your facial ZONE. This includes your ears (as mentioned), neck, shoulders, and decollete. Cleansers, toners, moisturizers, and exfoliants should be employed all over this real estate for maximum effectiveness.
Dermalogica MicroZone Treatments can be booked in advance, but luckily for you, their professionals understand skin care emergencies can't be planned! Feel free to walk in and ask if there's a licensed Dermalogica skin therapist available. I'd highly recommend scheduling a quick service in between your regularly scheduled facials. The various MicroZone treatments range from Flash Exfoliation to Eye Treatments to Age Smart Hand Repair Hydrate.
Dermalogica MicroZone Treatments are offered at both their New York and Los Angeles locations:
New York City
110 Grand Street
New York, NY 10013
(212) 219-9800
Los Angeles
1022 Montana Avenue
Santa Monica CA, 90403

Celebrity Hairstyle Trend: Sloppy Side Buns
Side swept hairstyles are all the rage now–mostly thanks to this 80′s moment we're having–but here's an off-to-one-side style that looks more classic. The deep side part and rippling waves along one side of the face give it an Old Hollywood vibe, but the rumpled "I didn't really make an effort" texture brings it into 2009 and beyond. To get the look, apply a curl-enhancing spray to damp hair, blowdry you hair any which way, then pull out a curling iron to create defined curls in front and a few more in the back–no need to be meticulous because you're just going to shake it all up anyway. Gather hair into a low side ponytail, use a hair-matching elastic to secure in place. Bunch up the tail and pin in place.

Posh Girl Gone Wild at Betsey Johnson
Of all the shows I went to during NYC's Spring 2010 Fashion Week, I had the absolute most fun at Betsey Johnson. "The look is about a posh girl who had one too many martinis and hooked up with the wrong guy on the wrong side of the tracks, and now she's making it back to The Plaza the morning after," says makeup artist Sarah Lucero for Stila Cosmetics. LOL! The models were done up with tons of glitter, outrageous bows, and dark naughty lips. I bring this up now because I actually think it's a great Halloween costume idea! Check out the looks!

So a couple weeks ago, we reported on Katharine McPhee's new blonde pixie cut. And coincidentally, Katy Perry, who vacillates between a curled bob and shoulder-length locks has been sporting long, tumbling waves that are the spitting image of Katharine McPhee's hairstyle of yore.
What do you think? Coincidence or hair heist? And tell us in the comments: Do you like Katy Perry's new longer 'do? Or should she take some Tylenol to bring down her McPheever?

Dior J'Adore Turns 10…And We're Still Loving It
I remember when Dior's now iconic fragrance J'Adore launched 10 years ago. The image of model Carmen Kass emerging from a pool of liquid gold was mesmerizing. Just a few nights ago Dior had a party at The Standard's just-opened swanky Boom Boom Room (my new nirvana) to celebrate 10 years of J'Adore–and there was some good celeb spotting: Tinsley Mortimer, Nicky Hilton, Joy Bryant and Lake Bell. Everyone was as glamorous as to be expected.
For the fragrance's 10th anniversary, Dior is launching a limited edition J'Adore Eau de Parfum Collector bottle, $72, featuring a precious glass pendant that you can slip off the bottle and wear as a charm on a chain necklace. The scent is still amazing: a fruity-floral bouquet of bergamot, roses and jasmine. I don't think anyone could get tired of that blend–so I look forward to many more fabulous birthday celebrations!
The J'Adore Limited Edition Collector Bottle will be available in November at Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus.

Katharine McPhee's New Bright Blonde Hue
Katharine McPhee recently decided she was Over It re: her sultry sleek brunette locks and swapped them for a babelicious new blonde hue. I think this is a classic case of a really well-done color treatment performed on someone whose natural coloring lends itself a bit better to a dark, dusky hue. See also: Kardashian, Kim.
What do you think? Is it a nish-nish (i.e., she should change it back), in the words of the sage Bruno? Or an ach-ya (i.e., she looks fab!)? Tell us in the comments!

Kim Kardashian's Makeup At The OK! Magazine Party
At the OK! Magazine party for new Contributing Beauty Editor Kim Kardashian last week, I had the opportunity to meet celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic. Doll that he is, he agreed to send a total run-down of Kim's look for the party when I breathlessly tweeted him post-event that I MUST get the deets. Here they are, straight from Mario:
Kim was wearing a gorgeous Badgley Mischka black dress with some silver accents and her hair was done with a very 20′s inspired wave, reminiscent of the flapper era. For her makeup, I went more modern, with a rounded and subtle smoky eye.
Skin: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation set with a little bit of NARS loose powder. Make Up For Ever Lift Concealer under eyes only.
Eyebrows: Brows were filled in with Diorshow Brow Styler Ultra-Fine Precision Brow Pencil (universal shade).
Eyes: I used Amber Lights eye shadow by MAC all over her lids and swept along the lower lash line also. I kept the shadow right below the crease of the eye. I lined her top lids and inner rim of the eyes with MAC's Powerpoint Pencil in Engraved. With a small brush, I blended the top liner up into the lids. Top and Bottom lashes are coated in Anastasia's Lash Lifting Mascara.
Cheeks: I bronzed Kim's face with Smashbox Bronzer in Suntan Matte. On the apples of the cheeks, I applied Josie Maran's Cream Blush in Sunset with my fingers. To highlight cheekbones, I used NARS The Multiple in Copacabana. Lips are lined softly with Lingering Pencil by GIELLA. Lipstick is Casual Beige 222 by Dior applied all over the lips followed by a bit of MAC's Dazzleglass in Smile.
Thanks to Mario for sharing his products used for Kim Kardashian's epic look with us!

With Fashion Week already in full swing, the Daily Makeover team is excited to take a quick break from runway madness to celebrate Fashion's Night Out on Thursday, September 10th. Fashion's Night Out is a global initiative to promote retail, restore consumer confidence and celebrate fashion. U.S. and international editions of Vogue have coordinated evening extravaganzas to be held in various fashion capitals around the world. Come say hello to the Daily Makeover team and spokesmodel Arlenis Sosa at the Bloomingdale's SoHo Lancôme Counter from 6 to 7 p.m. The first 100 people to stop at the counter and give the password "Paris" will take home a full-sized product as a little thank you from Lancôme… AND if you say "Daily Makeover" at the counter, you'll get a few extra deluxe samples. It's good to have friends in high beauty places, no?
Next, we'll hit up the Lancôme Boutique on 69th and Columbus from 8 to 9 p.m to meet designer Chris Benz and enjoy champagne and cupcakes as Lancôme opens the waiting list for his Pout-à-Porter lipstick. The lipstick will be kept under wraps until Chris's show on September 14th, but fans of the Pout-à-Porter collection can get a jump start. Anyone who puts his or her name on the list that night will be entered into a drawing to win two tickets to Chris's show. The first 10 people on the list will get an official Fashion's Night Out t-shirt. The first 100 people to stop at the counter and give the password "Paris" will take home a full-sized product as well.

Lees set for Stanley loan stay
Lees has impressed both his parent club and Stanley boss John Coleman with his performances since joining Stanley in September but his current deal is scheduled to expire at the start of January. The 19-year-old has already hinted that he would be keen to remain at the League Two club to gain more first-team experience and it seems likely that his deal could now be extended. Grayson told the Lancashire Telegraph: "We've had Tom watched quite a bit and things have developed really well for him. "It's been a good experience going to Accrington and he'll benefit from that. Everyone is saying how well he's done. "I think we'll address his situation in the next few weeks but there's no point me bringing him back to Leeds unless he's going to go into our first-team squad. Going back out on loan will probably be the next step for him."

My name is Donald Kearney and I have been the music teacher here for the past 9 years. I'm looking forward to another exciting year at Roosevelt Elementary! Some interesting facts about me: I was born in Northampton, England and came to the United States at 2 years old. My mother is also a teacher. My father was in the Air Force. I've lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Wilmington, Delaware; and Corpus Christi, Texas. San Antonio was the city I chose to attend college and I've lived here ever since!! I attended and graduated from Our Lady of the Lake University. That university is not too far from Roosevelt! I love San Antonio and the Edgewood District! I've taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and even 6th grade. However, music is my favorite. Now, I get to work with Kinder- 5th grade everyday!! I've been honored by my coworkers as "Teacher of the Year" before, but truly, my students make me feel like a "Teacher of the Year" all the time!! Our San Antonio Choral Societ did get to go Germany and Austria during our summer tour!! Those places were truly amazing!! I have pictures outside of my classroom of the wonderfull experience!! I continue to serve in different church choirs as part of the choral group and as a soloist. I also love to be with family and friends. (My scrapbooks are full of them!!)

"Banish hunger" That's not a campaign slogan to raise money for some starving, impoverished place. That's the advice in the latest "it" diet/weight loss book on the market that's generating a good bit of buzz. The book is The Diet Fix by Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, founder of Ottawa's Bariatric Medical Institute, who says the key to healthy dieting is to avoid dieting's seven deadly sins: hunger, sacrifice, willpower, restriction, sweat, perfectionism, and denial.
Dr. Freedhoff out-credentials me by a country mile, so it's hard to sit here and argue with the good doctor's (and he really seems to be a very good doctor) advice. In general, I understand what he's saying. Starvation diets, pointless punishing treadmill sessions, self-flagellation, it's all unsustainable and ultimately unproductive. Life is too short to make yourself miserable and if you walk around in an endless state of ravenous deprivation, you will eventually stuff down a whole sleeve of cookie dough…or two. I get it.
But... But…this notion of hunger as the enemy? That we should practice "preemptive hunger-free eating?" That we should eat before we get hungry because "'wait until you're hungry to eat' is likely the worst piece of dietary advice you've ever received?" Well, that just makes me sad.
True hunger is a gift. It keeps us in touch with ourselves. It's an essential signal between our body and our brain, telling us what we need…if we listen. As a living being, I find it to be one of my most useful, treasured cues. I work out of a home office. I could practice preemptive, hunger-free eating all day long. Indeed, there are many times I find myself wandering about the kitchen with writer's block, opening the fridge and pantry doors trawling for something to fill the void. Asking myself "Are you truly hungry?" is the only logical thought process standing between me and my spoon and a jar of Nutella. Sure, I guess I could plan my snacks as the doctor recommends. But eating without hunger feels more like an empty process, rather than fulfilling one, to me. I'd rather just chew some gum, have a cup of tea, and get back to work…until I'm actually hungry.
I get that you don't want to let yourself get all "hangry" where you'll bite off someone's head and eat that just to stop the pangs. But a little hunger lets you know you're alive. It let's you know your body is working and processing. Food tastes better when you're a little hungry. Hell, food tastes better when you're a lot hungry. There is little that is more satisfying than doing a hard ride and then sitting down to a beautiful plate of fresh, savory food, feeling every bite go straight into your legs, strengthening you for the next round.
It seems to me that—barring living in a place where you actually can't get food, which is a radically different reality than we're talking about here—feeling hunger is a natural, necessary, and wonderful part of living. Waking up hungry motivates me to cook eggs and oats and slice fruit and brew coffee. It fires me up to feed myself. It nudges me into action throughout the day, begging the question, "What do I need to feed myself to nourish me and make me strong and fast and well?" I fear if I just ate for the sake of eating…to make sure I never felt hungry, I'd just pour myself a bowl of Fiber One and call it a day.
No thanks. I'll stay hungry instead.

The Phone Doctors have heard many reasons for phones being damaged—from customers dropping them on the ground to customers using them as a projectile after a mountain lion showed up on their front porch. In light of these and the many other stories the Phone Doctors' repair team hears, its techs continually train to keep pace with the rapidity of mobile-device releases and the steady stream of repair orders they receive daily from customers across the United States.
Experienced with virtually every manufacturer and carrier, the technicians perform repairs that range from touchscreen replacement to water-damage recovery. In addition to in-house repairs, they also furnish gadget owners with do-it-yourself kits that include specialized tools such as pentalobe screwdrivers and needles and thread. Further resources include online repair guides and patented magnetic ScrewMats, earning Phone Doctors praise on TreeHugger for "empowering people to do their own repairs."
In addition to its six retail locations, which accept both drop-off and mail-in orders, Phone Doctors spans to about 20 affiliate repair centers across the United States, each staffed by technicians trained by the Phone Doctors' team.
With more than 386 locations dotting North America, JCPenney Optical's ubiquity is matched only by its extensive selection of contact lenses and designer frames that includes brands such as Armani Exchange, Liz Claiborne, and Nicole Miller. Despite this wide reach, all lenses are cut at the same optical laboratory, ensuring a consistency of quality and a pretty good idea of where to look if your glasses run away from home. Each location has an independent state-licensed doctor of optometry, who can perform vision exams and help clients determine which type of vision correction will work best.
Classes and live-fire training take place at THOR Global Defense Group, which houses a 40-meter pistol bay.
THOR Global Defense Group rents semiautomatic pistols such as a 9-millimeter Glock 17. Ear and eye protection are available as well. If needed, students should request a rental pistol at the time of registration.

Hello I transplanted my eggplant to the big pot in the first week of June but until now it is very small, the growth is very slow, and some leaves turned yellow, I water it regularly, the pot is 5 gallon, good drainage, I transplanted it with my tomato, the tomato is doing well, can I hope to get some eggplant this year or it is too late for it to fininish its growth cycle. |

I have a 60' row of eggplants that are having a similar fate. I attributed most of the slow growth to my clay soil since a few extra plants ended up in a raised bed and they appear to be healthier and fuller looking. I do have flowers on about half now and a few fruits hanging. Soil doesn't look like your problem. Where are you? Here in southern NJ our high temps have been normal but lows are 10-15 below normal. We have had 90 deg days, nights in upper 50s. This has caused some problems. I have broccoli that just formed florets and my cabbage is heading a looking good in July. I think the cold night temps have had an affect on my eggplants, peppers and tomatos. |
Thank you for your reply, I am in morgantown WV zone 6 ,I did not notice how was the tempreture but this sumer was more cloudy and rainy and had a lot of thunderstorms than sunny, i have the same problem with the bell pepper but tomato is doing well, is there still time for them to grow up and produce, or it is too late thank you |

Looks like overwatering and lack of nutrients to me. Exactly how often are you watering? "I water it regularly" doesn't really tell much. Rodney |
i water it every morning, i was told vegetables need to be watered daily |
i water it every morning, i was told vegetables need to be watered daily |
We're in So New Jersey also and our eggplants have started producing however our tomatoes are not turning red on the vine. Think its because this summer has been a bit cooler and much wetter than usual. |

Vegetables that size do not need watered daily. Once every 4-5 days will probably be sufficient. Before watering stick your finger in the soil to see if it's moist. If it is, don't water. As it grows larger and the root mass increases it will need watering more frequently. Rodney |
5 gallons is also small for an eggplant. 10 gallons would be much better, bigger would be even better, but probably not necessary. And they only need to be watered when they need to be watered... there are too many variables to consider for anyone to tell you with certainty how often that is. Rodney is right, do the finger test to get a handle on how often to water. |
i water it every morning, i was told vegetables need to be watered daily %%%%%%%%%%%%%% That is the problem. |
Thank you everybody, I think yes, I watered it too much Do you think that it will be good if I water it properly, we are in the end of July, or it is too late for it |

Meanwhile, in the Medium fleet Haylings James & Anne Gardiner having swopped their RS400 for a Graduate while Anne recovers from shoulder surgery claimed the top spot over CYCs Lucy Boreham in her Europe with the home clubs Charlie Porter in third. In the slow fleet it was the clash of the Mirrors with Sally Lorimer and Pippa Jones from Warsash taking the honours of over Itchenors Archie & Will Grant with CYCs Isabel Porter in third.
A shifting and faltering wind together with technical difficulties forced Race Officer Nick Colborne to delay the start of the second race. But once away the Fast fleet was dominated by Craig & Roberts although this time the Merlin stranglehold was broken with Haylings David and Fiona Sayce taking second in their Fireball with Mackley and Warren displaced to third.
In the Medium fleet second race it paid to be sailing a Solo the top spot was a duel between two of the 1976 originals Nick Peters from Hayling and CYCs Mark Harper with the former taking the laurels while Felphams Guy Mayger came in third. In the Slow fleet, the cold weather and delay took its toll on the fleet and it ended up a Mirror match race the Grants victorious over Lorimer and Jones.

The 2015 DutyMan Roster is now available. Those of you who have already taken the opportunity to sign up for your duties on the hard copy sheet that was in the sloop have had those requests incorporated all you need do is confirm your availability.
Those you haven't had the chance to sign up - you can now! The best way to make sure you get the the duty you want on a day that suits your schedule is to sign up before 9 March (after that the remaining duties will be "allocated"). - don't forget you are expected to complete at minimum of two duties in the summer season (this year late March to October) and one during the winter (unless you are racing in which case two is the norm).
Remember if you are allocated a duty you will be unable to fulfil then there is the facility to request a swap.

34 boats turned out on winter solstice day for the final races of Chichester YCs Frozen Toe series. The brisk WSW breeze which built from 12 to 25 knots during the day allowed Race Officer Derek Jackman o set a multi legged course which dished up a variety angle for the racing.
In the first race of the day the Fast fleet were given a master class in how to race a Fireball by the European Number 1 Richard Alderton who teamed up with Andy Palmer-Felgate. The pairing who hadnt sailed together since last winter showed the rest of the fleet a clean pair of heels out of the blocks and continued to extend the margin throughout the three lap duration of the race coming home a minute and half clear of Nick and Roger Ellimans RS400 and Adrian Bruntons Devoti D-zero who moved into third on corrected time.
20 boats came to the line in the Medium fleet with the Jason & Sonia Kirks 2000 dominating while Emsworths Richie Bailey in his Laser and Chichesters Lucy Boreham in her Europe traded punches fro the silver and bronze spots with the margin reduced to 30 seconds on corrected time.
Meanwhile in the Slow fleet, Itchenors Archie & Will Grant in their Mirror demonstrated that they have inherited go fast genes from their father former I14 ace Bruce taking first over CYCs Sophie Kirk and Isabel Porter in their Toppers with series leader Izzy Loveridge one further back.
In the final race the Fast Fleet were again schooled in going fast by Anderton and Palmer-Felgate though this time Finn sailor Brunton revealed that he is rapidly getting to the grips with the D-zero moving up into second on corrected time over Jonty Freeman and Neil Arnotts Merlin Rocket with the series leading Ellimans relegated from the top three for the first time.
The now ebbing tide created issues for the Medium fleet with a phalanx of premature starters forced a general recall and the imposition of the black flag rule. Sadly two boats fell foul of the rule when the fleet came to the line for the second time of asking. Once underway a familiar pecking order emerged with the Kirks establishing a commanding lead of the fleet enough to save time on handicap over series leaders Nick & Biddy Colbourne in second while Boreham once again claimed third spot.
The impact of the increasing wind depleted the slow fleet with just three boats coming to the line for the final race. Once again the Grant brothers enjoyed a good tussle with Kirk and Porters Toppers until gear failure forced Kirk out of the race allowing the Mirror to claim its second bullet of the day over Porter.

Even the CYC Laser Radio control fleet had some close racing on Saturday (20th Dec). The penultimate racing of 2014 for the RC Frozen Toe series took place with 4 races. A good 15 knot breeze and a short chop created interesting conditions for the 10 plus competitors. Next meeting 27th Dec at 14:30hrs. HW 15:21

A brisk 15 knot breeze with tricky gusts to 25 greeted the 33 boats that hit the water to contest the fifth and sixth races in Chichester YCs Frozen toe series. The conditions for the first race of the day called for a start line almost opposite the club with a first beat to the west south west towards Bosham Hoe.
In the fast fleet Aruns Jack Holden and his crew in the their set out their stall early, challenging CYCs Nick and Roger Ellimans RS400 keeping in touch on the water to claim the honours by 2 minutes on corrected time, Meanwhile, Newhaven and Seafords Jonty Freeman and Neil Arnott sailed a conservative race in their Merlin Rocket to secure third. The start for the medium fleet was more frenetic with Fireball European Champion Richard Anderton demonstrated that hes pretty handy in a Laser as well establishing a lead over the rest of the fleet right out of the blocks which he then extended during the three laps of the trapezoid course. Felphams Guy Mayger in his Solo was able to reduce this lead to just over two minutes on handicap to claim second over Emsworths Jonathan Bailey in his Laser.
A conveniently timed windshift to the North allowed Race Officer Gideon Ewers to alter the geometry of the course between races and slick buoy re-laying work by the Safety boat teams, whod already had a busy morning in the rescue department, allowed the second race of the day to get away with a minimum of delay. Once again Holden and the Ellimans made the running in the Fast fleet with the latter having the edge until a capsize at the third mark during the second lap allowed the RS200 to establish a significant on the water lead. Although the Ellimans closed the distance breaking through at the final mark the handicap deficit was too great to overcome allowing Holden and crew to claim their second bullet of the day over the Freeman and Arnott with the Ellimans relegated to third.
In the Medium fleet, CYCs Anderton again showed his class winning the start and extending his lead throughout the race although this time Lucy Boreham in her Europe made the running on handicap reducing Andertons lead 36 seconds on corrected time with Nick and Biddy Colbourne hamstrung by gear failure taking third.
Only one competitor ventured out from the Slow fleet but after a gallant effort in the increasing wind Oliver Randall-May wisely decided that the clubhouse was better option.

text: Hi: Just curious. Wondered if there are any more retirees out there who are loving the South Beach plan. I have posted now and again here, and love all the support. I have been on the plan for a month now, and have only lost 5 lbs. but that is fine. I'm a former WW lifetime, who had gone over goal weight,and who had stalled in weight loss, so I've become a devotee of the SB since it has really gotten me started again. I am planning to just weigh only on Sat. so have a few days to go to see if the numbers have gone down again. I know age doesn't really matter, as we are all in this together. It is just that metabolism slows as the age increases. So I'm thinking maybe someone else has had some of my experiences. Ann

Thumbs up for this product. Wish I could find it in the stores all the time!
November 19, 2013
Great product
Chewy.com has this product for 3.99 for 2 scratchers. They are approx. $10 anyplace else I've looked including Walmart and Petsmart. They are the center piece for the turbo track and the cats like to lay on them and use them.

These scratcher replacement pads are excellent.
All of my fine feline friends love their scratcher replacement pads. When I put in a new one they come running for fun. These pads hold up really well to active scratchers, and the best part is when one side is finally shredded to the max all you do is just flip it over and you get another side for those frisky feline nails to work on! Even my geriatric feline buddies love them. These are definitely a must have for the kitties.

Great price!
My cat LOVES her turbo scratcher... but refills at PetSmart are almost $10! I was very happy to find them here for much less. They are "name brand" and fit the scratcher perfectly.
Also, communication was fantastic and it shipped to me in no time. Very happy. Will def purchase again.

Keeps cats busy for hours!
These replacement scratchers for the Turbo scratcher are wonderful and needed. My cats never seem to tire of chasing the ball. I put the scratcher near the door and they love to come in and scratch it. The fact that the pads are replaceable make it a real value!
September 22, 2014
Cats love it
My cats love going to the Turbo Scratcher to sharpen their claws, and then giving the trackball a few whacks. Lots of fun!
September 15, 2014
My fur babies love them & play with the ball .
If you teach them young, no body would have to do nail surgery on poor fur babies.They need them to protect, themselves if someone accidentally let them outside.

Great product for a happy kitty
These scratch pads provide hours of entertainment for my 9 year old cat. Luckily, I started him when he was 6 weeks old, so he only scratches on these pads and never on any furniture. I highly recommend training your cat to use these -it will spare your furniture and other belongings!

December 17 2010. That's a day that everyone reading this website needs to mark on their calendar.
Use a marker pen, preferably one of those neon blue ones, and write 'Tron Legacy out today' in big letters.
So, forget presents. It's time to start sending a few really early letters to Santa, asking for Tron Legacy tickets.
Because no matter what anyone tries to tell you, Tron Legacy is going to be the very definition of awesome.
It's got Daft Punk doing the soundtrack and lightbikes that look like this:
It can't possibly fail.
Disney certainly seems confident, shoving 3D Tron into cinemas almost a year to the day after James Cameron's 3D event movie has changed the world as we know it. We think the movie is called Avatar.
Legacy will be battling the Green Hornet and The Smurfs for box office supremacy.
Green Hornet has a killer car, The Smurfs are blue. Watch them both after seeing Tron Legacy and you've got yourself a themedl triple bill, we reckon.

CNN's Berman Scoffs at ObamaCare Repeal; 'The Plan Passed'
November 14, 2013 - 5:15 PM
CNN's John Berman declared on Thursday that ObamaCare "passed" and "Now it's about implementing this plan. Good or bad, at this point."
Berman also let Democratic strategist Kiki McLean get away with claiming that more Americans have been "covered this week." GOP guest Rich Galen had to jump in and call him out: "You can't let that go."

on October 13, 2011As a public service, I'd like to point out that when the Archangel Santorum gets all glow-y and righteous about the "crisis in the family" and "the culture of life," this is the sort of stuff he imagines is a good thing. And I'd also like to point out that whenever any pundit tells you that the rookie class of 2010 is anything more than the same old anti-woman Republican Jesus-drunk base, you should feel free to laugh in their face.
The Christianist wing of the conservative movement wants women to die on the floor of the ER because that woman had bad, bad sex without Jesus's permission. That is divine justice as interpreted by some turkeyneck yahoo from East Mudflap, Tennessee. There is no middle ground with these people. There is no compromise to be had. They want people to die for what they perceive to be sin. Everything else is just conversation.

WikiLeaks mirror sites: A new lease on life for WikiLeaks
(Read article summary)WikiLeaks mirror sites ensure that it will be very difficult – if not impossible – to ever scrub WikiLeaks from the Web.
WikiLeaks lists its location on Twitter as "Everywhere" – a bold claim, considering the intense fire the organization has come under in the past week. Amazon, PayPal, Visa and MasterCard all recently severed ties with WikiLeaks, first leaving the site server-less, and then restricting the ways in which supporters can donate to WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange.
But even as Assange faces extradition from London – on sex crimes charges – WikiLeaks lives on through a constantly mutating network of mirror sites.
"WikiLeaks now has 355 sites. Thanks to YOU," WikiLeaks wrote in a Twitter message on Sunday. That number has fluctuated, as some sites are dismantled and others spring up in their place, but one thing is clear: It will be exceptionally difficult, if not impossible, to ever scrub WikiLeaks from the Web.

.- In an homage paid to Pope John Paul II, the newly appointed cardinals told the Pope that he can rely on them to be faithful servants of the Church.
Thirty-one cardinals were welcomed into the Roman Catholic Church yesterday at the Consistory held in St. Peter's Square.
"Until now, we have sought to serve the Church, doing our best. Now members of the College of Cardinals, we desire to profess before everyone our firm will to love the Church even more and to commit ourselves with abnegation in its mission of evangelization," said Jean-Louis Cardinal Tuaran on behalf of the new cardinals.
"Our sole ambition is to contribute to the growth of the Church in the third millenium," he continued. "With you, Holy Father, we want to proclaim to our contemporaries the sole Savior of mankind."
In his homage, Tuaran thanked the Pope for teaching, through his very person, that "the Church lives by Jesus Christ and for Jesus Christ."
"Thank you for having taught us this, over the past 25 years, with your words and examples," he concluded. "Holy Father, you can count on us."

POSTED: Saturday, July 9, 2011 - 2:46pm
UPDATED: Saturday, July 9, 2011 - 5:39pm
Derek Jeter added another milestone to his hall of fame career, becoming the first New York Yankee to reach the 3,000 hit plateau. Jeter is the forth youngest player at 37 years and 13 days to reach the 3,000 hit mark. The Yankees all-time hits leader became the 28th member of the 3,000 hit club, and just the second player in Major League history to hit a home run for their 3,000 hit joining Wade Boggs.
Jeter reached 3,000 in style crushing a 3-2 third-inning curveball off Rays starter David Price. The Yankee captain capped his day going 5-for-5 and getting the game-winning single in the eighth in the Yankees' 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. After the home run Jeter was first greeted by best friend Jorge Posada and the rest of the Yankees poured out of the dugout and the right field bullpen. They all circled Jeter, until finally the crowd of 48,103 broke through chanting Jeter's name.
Jeter is the first to reach 3,000 in the uniform of any New York team (Mets, Brooklyn Dodgers, New York Giants). In the process Jeter passed Roberto Clemente for 27th all-time, and cemented his legacy as one of the greatest to ever put on the Yankee pin stripes.

Etihad flies to Uganda
Etihad Cargo started a new weekly freighter flight Monday between Abu Dhabi and Entebbe, Uganda.
Situated on the shores of Lake Victoria and close to the capital Kampala, Entebbe is a major commercial center in central Uganda.
The direct cargo service will operate every Monday using an Airbus A330-200F freighter, with a capacity of 64 tonnes.
"Uganda is an important market for Etihad Cargo, and the new Abu Dhabi-Entebbe freighter service will allow us to capitalize on the strong import and export demand to and from East Africa," Kevin Knight, Etihad Airways' chief strategy and planning officer, said. "In addition, whilst we expect to see strong onward trade flows over our Abu Dhabi cargo hub to destinations across the Middle East, subcontinent and Europe, ultimately this service will further strengthen the trade ties between the UAE and Uganda."
Etihad Cargo expects the service to carry large quantities of electronics and textiles to Entebbe, with primarily perishable goods destined for the Gulf region and Europe loaded for the return flight.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A Little Rock water park closed this week after health officials said the facility was likely the source of a rare and often deadly brain infection, the Arkansas Department of Health said Friday.
R. A. Scott, age 86, of Malvern passed away Thursday, July 25, 2013 at Arkansas Hospice in Hot Springs.
Betty Ann Smith, 49, of Willow went to be with the Lord on Thursday July 25, 2013.
ARKADELPHIA, Ark. (AP) — Arkadelphia city officials are poised to open the DeSoto Bluff Trail, using funds from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. The dedication and ribbon-cutting will be next Tuesday at 10 a.m. in Arkadelphia.
The 2.5-mile hiking trail winds through a secluded natural area and ends at DeSoto Bluff, which is named for explorer Hernando de Soto, who searched the area for gold. The Game and Fish Commission's Wildlife Observation Trails Pilot Program provided $80,125.
Interpretive signs have been erected along the trail to point out wildlife.
It was 1991. New to town, there were plenty of questions that needed to be answered. So I asked.
"What is Malvern named for?"
That was the first question I had. Almost nobody had an answer. Turns out the only theory I had was it was named after a town in West Virginia.
Another question took years to answer. Malvern High School's football field is named Claude Mann Stadium.
"Who is Claude Mann?"
For the full story, see Friday's Malvern Daily Record.
James W. Kennedy, Jr., 68 of Malvern, died Thursday, July 25, 2013.
In our last installment, we broke down the schedule of the Malvern Leopards in the 4A Classification.
Today, we're going to step down one class and look at the Beavers of Glen Rose, a team that made it to the 3A state championship game. They seemingly had the game won, but Harding Academy set up a brilliant set of plays in the last half-minute to score a touchdown and win the game.

Teaching Spanish Grammar with Pictures: How to Use William Bull's Visual Grammar of Spanish (DVD)
by M.Stanley Whitley, Patricia V. Lunn
Format: | DVD |
Not in stock
Usually despatched in 7-10 days
Delivered FREE
in the UK
"Teaching Spanish Grammar with Pictures" is a valuable tool for teachers looking for a way to show students how grammar produces meaning. It makes available in a digital format the full set of 406 posters designed by William Bull to illustrate grammatical contrasts in Spanish. These bold illustrations clarify difficult-to-understand points of grammar such as ser vs. estar, subjunctive vs. indicative, and preterite vs. imperfect. Originally published in 1961, the posters remain remarkably useful for explaining Spanish grammar in visual form. Bull believed that linguistics should be used in the service of language learning, and the success of The Visual Grammar of Spanish was the result of its grounding in linguistic analysis. This reissue of Bull's classic posters on DVD-ROM provides versatile JPEG and PDF images of all the posters to easily incorporate into Power Point presentations and worksheets. It includes an instructor's manual on the disk that presents background on the materials, explains the concepts behind the images, and offers suggestions for ways to use them in the classroom. Language labs that purchase a copy of Teaching Spanish Grammar with Pictures will automatically receive rights to: post an electronic copy of the content on a secure (password-protected) network for use by current students and faculty at their institution; and loan the number of purchased copies to students.
