Crave Fitness's founder, Yaniv Rosenberg, applies a lifelong enthusiasm for fitness and martial arts to boot camp, Krav maga, kickboxing, and jiujitsu classes for all ages and ability levels. During boot-camp classes based on training regimens from the U.S. military and Israeli Defense Force, experienced instructors wring every ounce of effort from students of all skill levels, fueling the all-out workouts with words of encouragement and regular trips through a rift in the time-space continuum to get glimpses of their svelte future selves. Sessions change on a daily basis to test muscles with a combination of cardiovascular exercises, abdominal work, agility drills, obstacle-course challenges, and blindfolded Sudoku puzzles.
The staff at Island City Health & Fitness empowers clients mentally and physically with opportunities for self-guided workouts, trainer-led sessions, and group fitness classes. Guests can hop on the center's cardio equipment to jump-start heart rates, or test out an arsenal of Cybex and Hammer & Strength weightlifting machines to help keep muscles as defined as a black hole's silhouette. For clients seeking guidance, certified trainers with extensive knowledge of human physiology support guests in their fitness endeavors by leading individualized workouts. Camaraderie fuels workers-out during small group classes, available in a variety of styles including yoga, strength, and cardio interval-based sessions.
On any given day, Push Fitness?s 4,000 square feet of workout space are filled with people swinging kettlebells, curling free weights, and running on treadmills. But that doesn't mean the center has no room for variety. In fact, the gym's personal trainers spend their days creating custom workouts for individuals, couples, and small groups. Depending on what clients are trying to accomplish, they might end up in Body Blast classes that emphasize weight loss, or they could try yoga classes, which help build lean muscle and improve flexibility. Some might also benefit from POZ fitness sessions, which are designed for people with HIV-related metabolic conditions.
Thanks to the wide variety of classes that Bombay Room Yoga offers, students have a good chance of finding the one that speaks to them. The studio encourages visitors to attend virtually any class, regardless of their skill or fitness level, so that they can learn what sort of practice leaves them feeling centered and mentally and physically rejuvenated. The classes range in intensity and purpose: Vinyasa sequences harness controlled breathing and free-flowing transitions to provide a more dynamic session, and yin yoga embraces the opposite end of the spectrum by calling on deep, sustained stretches to liberate the joints and help students discover whether they're made of Laffy Taffy. Since every class is designed for newcomers as well as experienced students, the instructors take time to wander throughout the room and aid participants in their practice by correcting their posture and suggesting modified poses.
The Barkan Method of Hot Yoga is a product of numerous influences. Developed by a master yoga instructor, Jimmy Barkan, the practice originated in Calcutta, India, where Jimmy began infusing Hatha-yoga postures and movements with those of other disciplines. Today, on the other side of the globe, his instructors host each class in rooms heated to warm or hot levels, which not only helps stretch limbs, but also strengthens muscle groups and defrosts the poultry they plan on eating later. Following in Jimmy's footsteps, these teachers bolster their knowledge of the discipline by earning certification from the Barkan Method and recognition from Yoga Alliance.

With Ray Allen still deliberating about making a decision (either to retire or return to the NBA, maybe the Heat, maybe the Cavs), the Heat are still gearing up for next season.

Michael Beasley, who had missed about 2 1/2 weeks due to a hamstring injury he suffered back at the beginning of December, had a pivotal role in the Heat's 122-119 OT victory over the Hawks last night.

Jimmy Fallon Already Signed a Deal for The Tonight Show? Wait, Really? (UPDATE: It's Official)
Lloyd Bishop/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank/Getty ImagesConsidering the latest we'd heard about the battle for The Tonight Show succession was Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon laughing off the whole thing via a West Side Story parody, you'd have been OK in assuming that the actual, real-deal details of the struggle wouldn't be hashed out for a while. And then, last night, The Hollywood Reporter goes ahead and reports Fallon has already closed his contract to take over Leno's seat. Huh. That was fast.
NBC isn't confirming anything yet, but according to THR, the succession setup is just as had been rumored. Fallon has signed the deal to take Tonight, but the question is when: "Some NBC execs want to launch Fallon's New York-based Tonight in February during [the] network's high-rated Winter Olympics coverage, but producer Lorne Michaels is said to prefer to give Fallon a little more time. Plus, NBC would owe Leno a significant penalty if it took him off the air before his contract expires [in September 2014]." Meanwhile, NBC is figuring out when to go public with the news, and is hoping to be able to do so only after already having Fallon's replacement on the books. And this part is as rumored, as well. The Fallon job, says THR's source, goes to Seth Meyers "unless something goes awry [in the deal-making]."
It's all … so … smooth. TOO SMOOTH. Let me ask you a serious question, NBC: Do the words "Napoleon" and "Hitler" and "invasion of Russia" mean anything to you? Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it! Twice the network has created a situation in which Leno could scheme his way into or back into the Tonight show seat; twice he's done just that. If you think you can squeeze Jay out of the job a second sooner than he wants to leave, well, you are sorely mistaken, my friends.
Jimmy, listen: Hire food tasters.
UPDATE: The Fallon Tonight Show succession is official, with Leno wrapping up in "Spring 2014." There's a press release and everything:
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – April 3, 2012 – Jay Leno, longtime host of NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," announced today that he will wrap up what will be 22 years of headlining the iconic late-night show in Spring 2014. NBC also announced today that Jimmy Fallon, now host of NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," will transition into new hosting duties on "The Tonight Show" franchise after Leno concludes his successful run.
Said Leno: "Congratulations Jimmy. I hope you're as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you're the old guy. If you need me, I'll be at the garage."
Said Fallon: "I'm really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow."
Unless Jay is in that garage fashioning a Primer-esque time travel device that he'll use to nefariously alter the course of Tonight Show history, what could possibly go wrong?

Ten years after leaving school, Drake has received his high school diploma. The Take Care rapper took to twitter to share his good news with his fans, tweeting "97% on my final exam. 88% in the course. One of the greatest feelings in my entire life. As of tonight I have graduated high school!"
Drake also gave his tutor a shout-out to his over nine million followers, tweeting "Thank you to my teacher Kim Janzen for spending the last 5 months working tirelessly with me!! OVO SOUND." I'm anxious to hear how many times he rhymes 'Drake' with 'graduate' on his next single.
Drake dropped out of high school when he was just one credit short of graduating at the age of 15 to pursue his acting career on Degrassi, where he played Jimmy Brooks for seven seasons. In my mind, Principal Simpson is presenting Drake with his diploma.

Just ok.
Bought this hoody among others for my boyfriend. Hoody is ok, very thin. Not the quality I was expecting for this brand. I am slightly disappointed as it almost seems like a knockoff. If you're looking for a cheap hoody with a brand name logo, then I would recommend this. The green on the hoody is not very neon in color as it appears in the picture.

I left this message on another forum (Trash to Treasure) but I think this is maybe more appropriate. I bought several vintage hankies off of e-bay. They are yellowed a bit, but yellowed with age (a good thing.) I want to do something special with them. I was thinking about something in a frame, but I just don't know. Anyone got any suggestions for me?
Thanks, Beth |

Cheri, that is a gorgeous quilt. Did you make that one? What a great way to preserve old hankies too. Has anyone seen the pic from Better Homes and Gardens where they put them between two sheets of clear glass and hung them on a wall. The hankies look like they are floating against the wall, and are so pretty. You might search for it on the BHG website. I think I clipped a pic out of the magazine, I'll try to find it in my stash so I can show you. Luvs |
Luvs, No I didn't make the Quilt. A friend of mine sent me the pic she had found on the Internet. I sure would love to have it!!! |
There are a few quilting books callled HanKie Pankie, or something like that, that shows several good projects. I also have been collecting the hankies and one day want to make that quilt. I think it is beautiful. |
I also collect old hankies... And I've posted this many times before...but many here are new. I got these ideas from a magazine about 6 years ago...Don't think I have a pic anymore. I scanned and printed out several of my hankies makeing a lot of prints...you can only get about half and maybe not quite wide enough ...But you use them as border in a room..Using wallpaper paste and overlapping them. I'm sure somewhere in my files I have the pictures and directions. If anyone is interested I can look to see if I can find them. My garden web email doesn't work, but I can be reached at They also used them as a valance over curtains. Made pillows for the bed. Covered an Ivy jar with a hankie and tired it with a bow, to keep kleenexes in. patti |
I saw you posted this awhile ago, but I am just now seeing it. I have a page on my website called What Can You Do With Vintage Handkerchiefs? You will find lots of ideas here. |

For all you photo-geeks out there, you'll be stoked to know that the Lomography Diana World Tour, after gracing such cities as Tokyo, Paris, and Madrid, has landed in New York City. This showcase is displaying more than 90 vintage Diana and Diana clone cameras in the Dietrich Collection, as well as an exhibition entitled "Diana Vignettes" in which photos and stories from current and future New York LomoAmigos is shown. What's a LomoAmigo you ask? Why, a friend of Lomography of course! These "friends" include such celebrities as our very own Feb/Mar '09 cover girl Amber Tamblyn, Duran Duran's keyboardist Nick Rhodes, and one of our proclaimed "men we love", Elijah Wood. Each of the 10 vignette participants used the same Diana F+ camera, and through photo and text created a collective memory of New York City. Awesome!
The exhibition is running now through November 26th, and includes upcoming workshops at the Lomography Gallery store. The workshops include an introduction to the ABC's of DianaF + Photography on November 12th, and for you pros, an advanced use workshop on November 19th. The Lomography Gallery Store NYC is located at: 41 W. 8th Street NY, NY 10011. More information can be found on www.lomography.com.

00010935.gif Fry, Michael- Hitler's Wonderland ....Now look at a photograph of Adolf Hitler and try to understand how this man managed to reach his present position. A round head and a round face, a strong chin under a thin-lipped, ruthless.-looking mouth and a Charlie Chaplin moustache. Hair parted on the right with a Napoleonic look straggling down over the left eye- no one could say that he looks typically German. If Hitler is to be called "typically something" I would say he looks like a respectable French bourgeois- but then that would be high treason.... His oratory is not German either. He talkslike [sic] Mussolini- raising his voice to a shout and then dropping to a hoarse whisper- bangs his fist on the rostrum, shakes it at the sky, waves his arms and tosses back his unruly lock of hair with the gesture of a musician. And the people love it- they were tired of the monotonous drone of the average German orator-..... pg. 105- Hitler's Wonderland- Michael Fry- 1934 ..The first time I heard Hitler speak in public, I spent ten minutes repeating to myself: "What a comedian- what a comedian!" ; as the Pope said to Napoleon many years ago. Twenty minutes later I felt like cheering. The passionate conviction, the fierce fire of invulnerable patriotism, and, above all, the wholehearted sincerity, put Hitlerfar [sic] beyond the familiar little tricks of the mob-orator. Everyone of his words comes outcharged [sic] with a powerful current of energy; at times it seems as if they are torn from the very heart of the man, causing him indescribable anguish. When he speaks of the Fatherland, when he describes the sorry state of demoralization which has set in, his eyes flash with anger, his voice rises to a shriek of fury- he is inspired. That is what the masses believe- that Hitler is a prophet directly controlled by the Powers above- and I can quite understand it. There is a magnetic fluid emanating from Hitler which seems supernatural. The next time I saw Hitler was in the Kaiserhof Hotel in Berlin, where he is very fond of drinking tea in the afternoon. I watched him for a time to try and discover whether the fieriness of the platform was merely a mask adopted for the purpose of swaying the masses- I do not think so; for although he was chatting and occasionally laughing with his friends, I could see a smoldering fire in his eyes, every atom of his body seemed imbued with a latent intensity ready to well forth at any moment. pg 106- Michael Fry- Hitler's Wonderland-1934 ..In a way he is not to be envied. The never-ceasing fire that burns within him prevents him from enjoying many of life's entertainments. He has neither the time nor the inclination for social activities- not even among intimate friends. He lives in the midst of many men, and yet he lives alone- spiritual loneliness must be Hitler's secret regret...... pg 107- Michael Fry- Hitler's Wonderland- 1934 00010936.gif Fry, Michael- Hitler's Wonderland London, 1934 ...On one of his trips home he stopped at a village for petrol; a little girl came up to the car and started talking to the driver, not knowing that it was the greet Adolf Hitler himself. In the course of the conversation it came out that that day was the little girl's birthday, so Hitler took her in his car to the next town, gave her a sumptuous meal of cakes and sweets and then brought her home laden with toys. p 107- Fry- Hitler's Wonderland. Adolf does not smoke and never drinks alcohol. His great pleasure, when he can find time for it, is to go to the opera. Museums are his hobby; he claims to know the museums in Berlin better than anyone els [sic]. His early association with the building trade gave him a lasting interest in architecture, andit [sic] is said that the alterations made to the Brown House in Munich originated from his own ideas. He is is unmarried, of course, and so far no one has discovered any "amours caches"; although at one time there was a rumor that he had been secretly married and divorced. His great failing, which is an obvious corollary to his intensity, is the lack of a sense of humor. But that is a fault shared by the majority of Germans. There have not yet been any bon mots by Hitler; perhaps they will come later on when the tension of the revolution has toned down. Hitler appeals to nearly all classes, but he is particularly loved by the middle class ... he has restored the self-respect of millions by fanning the flame of patriotism, long dormant in their hearts.... the middle class and a large section of the working class talk of "our Fuehrer" with the reverence accorded by Catholics to the Pope. Even Hitler's enemies talk of his with respect. Pick up a Communist paper to-day (there are still a number of them printed abroad and smuggled into the country) and you will not dind [sic] any lewd remarks about Hitler. Any number of obscene accusations against Goring, Frick, Roehm, and Goebbels, but nothing against Adolf Hitler. That is a remarkable fact that deserves to be put on record. pg. 108. Fry - Hitler's Wonderland. In this book Fry tries to show "that there is a great deal more in the forest of Hitlerism besides the senseless brutality of Storm Troopers and the exuberant agitation of well-meaning Nazis." Fry demonstrates Chaos, Communism, Crime and Immorality (in exaggerated way) in Germany before Hitler- quotes Wyndham Lewis- Biographical material on Hitler based on "Mein Kampf" and Edgar von Schmidt-Pauli. Demonstrates Hitler's achievements in various fields- reform, unification etc. (Gives excerpts of Critics "the other side" socialists.) In spite of some good observations Fry has completely naive views on Nazism. Points out "that the furture [sic] of the entire civilized world is indissolubly merged in the future of the Third German Empire"

With a 64-bit A7 processor, dedicated motion chip and an iOS 7 makeover, the iPhone 5s is one of the fastest phones on the market. Plus, a cool new fingerprint sensor and an improved camera and flash are packed into the same aluminum-and-glass package that's still the lightest and most one-hand-friendly phone around. Get the 16GB iPhone 5s for $199 with a two-year plan or 24 monthly payments of $27 on Verizon Edge.

Axel Nimmerjahn, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Center and holder of the Richard Allan Barry Developmental chair, joined the Salk Institute from Stanford University in November of last year.
His laboratory focuses on the innovation of light microscopic tools that will enable novel studies of enigmatic brain cells called glia. Long thought to be nothing more than support cells, glia have emerged as sophisticated cellular players that make crucial contributions to normal brain physiology and pathology. Glioma, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alexander's disease and stroke are just a few examples of diseases glia are critically involved in. Nimmerjahn has created and continues to develop tools that allow researchers to directly visualize and manipulate glia in the intact healthy and diseased brain. This has led to key insights in glial cell biology, with broad implications for our view of brain function, which may eventually culminate in new treatments for neurodegenerative brain disease.
Also hailing from Stanford University, Bjorn Lillemeier, Ph.D., an assistant professor in both the Nomis Foundation Laboratories for Immunobiology and Microbial Pathogenesis and the Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Center and holder of the Rudolph and Sletten Developmental Chair, joined the Salk Institute in November 2009.
In his laboratory, he investigates the complex architecture of the plasma membrane -- the double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells -- as well as its contribution to signal transduction mechanisms in T cells, whose main job is to fight infection. Lillemeier is developing a combination of super-resolution microscopy based on photoactivation localization microscopy (PALM) with dual-color fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (dcFCS), to directly observe the spatial and temporal distribution of membrane-associated molecules on a nanometer scale.

21-month-old Margo Miller hadn't been herself for weeks. She had a fever on and off, was cranky at daycare, and wasn't eating well. Her mother, Gina, took her to their pediatrician to see what could be causing her behavior.
Her pediatrician couldn't find anything that could be causing her pain, but suggested that Gina bring Margo back on Monday so that they could run some additional tests. They went home and tried to enjoy a normal weekend.
On Monday, Gina and Margo headed back to the pediatrician, where her they noticed red dots on her legs. Gina was told that Margo had to have a blood test done immediately. Once the blood work came back, their pediatrician told them news that they never hoped to hear, Margo had acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL).

For Women, By Women
Three top female executives share why, twenty-five years later, a woman's only professional organization still matters in the world of business
In 1981, the Equal Rights Amendment was nearly dead in the water nine years after it was passed by Congress and sent to the states for two-thirds ratification. While the workforce was changing, evidence of a "glass ceiling" that prevented many women from higher-paying, higher-level careers was everywhere, even in progressive Madison. So a group of women who had forged their way into the corner office came together to ensure that other local business leaders would be supported, while future generations of female executives would be mentored. Madison Magazine editor Brennan Nardi sat down with three professionals for whom TEMPO has made a remarkable difference through the years.
When did you join TEMPO?
Kelda Helen Roys: I joined last year, and I was nominated by my board president, who is a retired executive director of a non-profit, and she said that it would be a great opportunity for me to meet other women leaders and find some mentors and really get to know sort of the professional network in Madison.
Linda Balisle: I was nominated by a friend who had been in TEMPO for awhile, and when I became a partner in a law firm, I became eligible. This was in the late '80s before we had so many women law partners. And so I joined because it is a great place to meet women of other professions who are at the top of their business.
Lucy Keane: I've just been in TEMPO for a couple of years. I always looked at TEMPO from the outside in, and saw the people that were members. And when I was nominated, I saw it as an opportunity to connect with people who were in government, education, business, the arts. It sort of levels the playing field. It doesn't matter what profession you're in when you're in TEMPO, it matters that you're in TEMPO, and you get a kind of cross-section of support. Where we have a lot of support in our profession, we don't have a lot of support from other people in other professions, and it was just a great opportunity to experience that.
Why wouldn't it be more important for you to join an organization of women from your own profession?
Balisle: TEMPO membership I felt addressed different issues. I, of course, belong to all the professional lawyer organizations, and that's part of my work is to keep up within my profession, and TEMPO is really for the members. Everybody in TEMPO is generally over-committed in about every area of their life and belongs to all their professional organizations, and contributes a lot in the community. And we've been very protective of making sure that TEMPO doesn't add to that over-commitment of outside services because everybody is doing so much. This is support for women who, in many cases, are the only woman executive in their business – particularly when TEMPO started. Many women were the only women who were the professionals or executives in their business, and there's isolation there. While that isolation isn't so great now, it still exists, and it certainly exists at the top executive level. So TEMPO is really there for those who have made it in some way to support each other, not to add to the commitments that we all already have.
How have you felt supported by TEMPO?
Keane: Well, one of the things we say in our business is you can't read the label while you're inside the bottle. …when I need input or when I need ideas, I don't always like to go to people who are in my field because I'm going to get an answer that I probably already have thought of. But the different perspective of different people has been really important. And as far as the support issue, I can tell you a quick story … our office was burglarized in December [2005], and we lost a lot of equipment, and it just so happened that the next day there was a TEMPO meeting. I didn't have a computer and the police were already gone, and so it was sort of like, "well I may as well go." And I went to the meeting and talked to a few people just in the hallway, and within fifteen minutes, I had the offer of "I'll bring over computers," "You can come to my office," "We have all the programs you guys use," "Well, do you have all your files? Can we help you with any backup?" And some are people that I've met for a grand total of maybe an hour in my whole life. …To me, that was really the most powerful thing about TEMPO. I was in this little mini-crisis, and immediately there was this safety net of people who I didn't even know saying, "We'll help you," "You want to come over and use our office?" "Can I send some designers over to your office to help you out?" It was amazing. And that kind of support wouldn't exist in my own professional organization. They'd feel bad, but move on.
Kelda, you've been with TEMPO the least amount of time. Have you seen differences in not just the support, but the communication in the work that you do both inside NARAL and outside in the community?
Roys: Like Linda, I'm a member of a lot of organizations. I'm a lobbyist and an attorney, and I think TEMPO has a very different character. There are certainly a lot of opportunities for professional development and education in TEMPO, but one of the things that I really love to see are some of the older members that are retired, and the bonds that they have with women that they've known for thirty years. And part of the reason that I'm in TEMPO is because I hope that I can develop bonds like that too, and again, when you're in a professional world, you tend to work long hours and you hang out with the people from your field, and it's really nice to sort of get outside the bottle and meet people who are doing something different and don't necessarily always want to talk about what you talk about every day.
Linda, why is it still important to have women's networks as opposed to women and men's networks, and why haven't we come together?
Balisle: Well, actually we have, and I think it's important to have both, I think that's the answer. But, I have to say, when something comes up for me – either a new business I'm working on or a new issue – if I communicate with somebody in TEMPO, even if we've never met, I get a response like that. That is not always true of the mixed gender service organizations I've been involved in. While they have been very helpful and very good and great for connections, it's a different kind of bond. Most of the men in those organizations have never felt the feeling of isolation in their profession. They've generally had a mentor. They've generally had somebody like them all along the way. In TEMPO, a lot of women there have gone through their careers, and to get to the top, they've had to be the only one along the way quite a bit. And so I think we have to belong to both.
Who was your first mentor in TEMPO, and how did that impact your life?
Balisle: I think that the very first was Valerie Mannis, who had been a friend and an attorney in town. Valerie has just always been a good mentor, period, because she's had such a variety of experiences and she's just been so smart and wise. So I've always benefited from that. Along the way, I've had wonderful advice and support from Gene Manchester-Bittick, who I consider the grand dame of business in Madison, and I just think she's been fabulous. Diane Everson has been tremendous. When I've had a specific project to talk about, I go look at my list at TEMPO, and I talk to Kathleen Woit at the [Madison] Community Foundation when we're talking about setting up a foundation to fund some research. I just feel so comfortable going there and finding not just a good person to talk to, but remember, the women in TEMPO are at the top, so they really can do something, which is wonderful. So, I think I've relied on so many people in TEMPO that now it doesn't even feel like a mentoring because we do it for each other. It's really a sharing more than a mentoring. Stereotypically, in men's organizations – the old boys' network – there's this idea of exclusivity. Women, stereotypically, are more inclusive – this governing by committee notion versus a more hierarchical type of leadership …Why not be more inclusive? Balisle: We actually made a decision. One of the reasons The Business Forum (www.thebusinessforum.org) exists is because it decided to have the different levels – the entry level, mid-management level, and executive level. TEMPO really was a place for the top women to be supportive of each other because they generally were isolates. So that was a reason for the exclusivity, I think. And to keep the focus on the members. When you mix it up a little more, you do tend to do more service projects and that kind of thing, and that's not what TEMPO was adding to people's lives.
I guess my question is, is it still relevant?
Keane: I think one of the reasons why TEMPO remains a women's organization is because it works. One of the great stories about TEMPO's foundation was when Sue Springman was working for Mayor Joel Skornicka, and he said, "I want to put some women in my administration," and they didn't have anywhere to go to find them. We couldn't be in Rotary; there weren't any country club memberships. There just weren't places, there just wasn't a well. There wasn't anywhere to go. And so in someone's living room, they decided, "We need a way to connect … women to each other in these executive leadership positions as well as become a resource for people who are seeking out great female leaders. And you see that with the board of directors initiative that TEMPO has taken on, where we're trying to create a feeder system for people who are looking for mixed gender representation on their board of directors, especially in for-profit companies where the balance is just ridiculously skewed. So, our work isn't done. It just isn't done. And as long as it works, it makes sense to keep it the way it is. And I think Linda's right: I think the focus is what makes our organization powerful. It's about the members, it's about each other …we're not a service organization. The slogan – and it's so true – we're trying to connect spheres of influence to each other, and as long as that motto works, there's no reason to change it.
Kelda, you are a very young leader of an organization, and congratulations to you … How do you feel about the generation of working women that are coming up through the ranks? Do they have that same the idea that these networks matter? I think it's become really ingrained. One of the things that is a joy to me in some sense is the idea that there is a sense of almost entitlement for women of my generation. It's not a question that we should be able to rise to the top of our profession. We can see visible examples of that in nearly every field, and so that I think is a really positive development that organizations like TEMPO have really fostered. But in the same sense, I think that there is work to be done, and we don't want to take it for granted. Particularly when you're in a position of leadership and responsibility for an organization or a department, there's a tremendous amount of stress that comes with that. There are a lot of challenges, and it's very helpful to have someone whom you can confide in and talk with and get advice from and just have a support network there. And I think that there will always be isolation simply because when you're in a high-powered career or a position of leadership, it's naturally isolating because you spend a lot of time at work. And so there will always be a need for an organization like TEMPO to really help people in those positions be as effective as they possibly can.
Let's broaden a little bit and talk about the climate for women in business in Madison. How has it changed for you Linda over the years? Better, worse, same?
Balisle: It's a world of change. I graduate from law school in 1979, and at that time, it had only been about five years that law firms interviewed women at the [UW] law school. Understand, before that, many just didn't interview women. So it was still relatively new. In terms of women in business, most of the women in business I knew were women who opened their own shops after being in an organization that didn't treat them well. That was the scenario. A woman would be in a big law firm, she didn't feel treated well, she'd go out and start her own. A woman would be in some kind of merchandising business and wasn't treated well, wasn't moved up when she should have been, so she created her own niche and started her own business. But that's a very common scenario, and that actually continues today and is one reason most new businesses – the statistics are really quite amazing – the percentage of businesses that are women-initiated businesses is substantial. The other component of it that I think people don't remember is the credit and banking end of it. I mean, there are some women in TEMPO who could tell you that they were not allowed to get loans under their names without their husbands' signature. And that was in the late '60s and early '70s when that still happened – and even into the late '70s in some banking arenas. In the '80s, what I found is that some banks would overlook that but they still preferred to have a husband's signature, even if it was a woman-owned business. Credit was a huge thing for women. I think credit is a big thing now for any business, but it was a huge thing for women at that point. What I have found over the years, as more women have become executives in these businesses, there is a change in treatment of other women in business, from banking, from financial planning, from corporate. Not just human relations, which has been a traditional area for women, but also in product development, in sales management and that kind of thing. There are just more women in those departments. So it's different now when you're working with other entities. As for my clients, I represent a lot of people who own businesses when they're getting a divorce; it's been interesting over the years to see, even in a family business, how many of the women decide to keep the business rather than the husband. That has changed over time. So there's more of just women seeing themselves in the role of a business person than when I first started practicing law.
What has been your experience, Lucy?
Keane: I think one of the things that's interesting, and Kelda referenced it before – TEMPO is a cross-generational organization and that's really kind of a cool thing. I know that my TEMPO class [included] the dean of students from the University of Wisconsin, a Supreme Court justice, the president of MATC. I mean, I remember sitting in the room going like, "What am I doing here? We have eleven apples and an orange!" But what you learn over time is that it was humbling to me, but it was also empowering. And I think that in the spirit of the business climate here and other places where we do business, that connection is empowering. And, you know, when I started in radio advertising, my first general manager said to me, "Lucy, I know you work with a lot of advertising agencies, but you know, don't get me wrong, I think you do a pretty good job with them, but women can't call on ad agencies, men have to call on ad agencies." So I own an advertising agency today. And that's since the mid-80s. That isn't several people's lifetimes, that's the span of one relatively short career....
Has it changed? Do you feel like a woman of Kelda's age wouldn't have that same experience?
Keane: Certainly. I'm not saying that the good old boys' club doesn't still exist in a lot of circles because it certainly still does. But I think we've proven ourselves to be successful, and nothing sells like success. And so I see that when people hire in that industry today. Now they say, "If everything else is equal, I'll take a woman." Whereas before, it didn't matter how equal it was, it wasn't going to be a woman.
I think what would be humbling to a Supreme Court Justice and a president of a university would be someone who has that wonderful creative side that you have, but also that business know-how … How do you balance the two, the creative side and the business side, and make it all work?
Keane: I think that Linda hit it very well in saying that a lot of us who are in the positions that we are in created them out of a sense of dissatisfaction in something else that we were doing. So we balance that the same way we do everything else. We just do it. We just figure it out. I feel fortunate to be in a position where I can use both my right brain and my left brain to be creative not just on behalf of our clients, but how our business functions. What's our environment like? … We said we're never going to be the kind of place that anyone else has ever worked. We want to keep people for life if we can. You need time off to be with your family? Don't even ask me, just go do it. … People have things in their lives that they have to do, and so I think it enables us to set our businesses up the way we want to set our lives up…
Kelda, do you see that sort of work-life balance adjusted more towards life now? I think that there is certainly a lot more creativity in that area, and that's good. There have just been a lot of innovations that have made it easier for men to be involved in their families' lives, and for women to have a full career as well as a home life. But certainly, I think that's the single biggest challenge or obstacle facing women today that go in with the sense of "I can do it, I have the brain power, I have the education, I have opportunities and confidence and the abilities, but how am I going to make this work?" And I think that it creates a lot of anxiety, and I know certainly that I've felt that in my own life when I think of, "You know, I work all the time now, how am I going to stay in a job that's stimulating to me, where I'm making a difference, and then also add onto it the kind of home life that I'm interested in having?"
The percentage of women on for-profit boards has not changed much over the years, and that's a problem. Equal pay – women are still making [less] than men make. These are huge issues for Madison, for Wisconsin, and how can TEMPO deal with those issues?
Balisle: The year I was president of TEMPO, we started working with people on identifying women who wanted to be on corporate boards. And looking at corporate boards and their make-up, and [how we could] influence that. And it was very interesting. The effort that was made in providing the names of women and remarkable resumes to individual companies [created] so little response about appointing them. When I would get the annual statements for companies in which I owned stock and my retirement account, and they'd give you the proxy to vote for the board members, I would look at that list. There was never a woman on it, and I would write a letter, "I'll start voting when you start having a board that looks like America." I never got a response … My personal experience has been that when a corporate board has a woman – and I'm on a bank board – they have "their woman."
Token Balisle: And that attitude still shocks me, and its 2006 and I've been doing this a long time, and to be considered, "Well, we have own woman now," is still very, very frustrating. However, it's nothing new that people want to be with people they're comfortable with, and when it comes time to thinking of people, they think of people they know and hang out with. When I was on the State Bar [of Wisconsin] board of governors, that was discussed because the slate of officers would routinely be white males, and there were some very interesting discussions by African American and women members of the board. You could count all of them on one hand. [We talked] about how if you just pick people you know, first of all, it reflects how homogenous your group of friends are, but you're never going to get diversity. And that was a discussion we were having in the '80s, and so to find it is still sort of a discussion is interesting. One of our [TEMPO] members … was a finalist for a very big job at a university and got a letter back saying, "Well, I think you were the best qualified, you're just fabulous, but we're going to go with the inside guy." And it was like, she was supposed say, "Well, that's okay, I understand," and she didn't. And that is still happening in 2006. …I just think that women who own any interest in any business through their retirement accounts or otherwise should be insisting that those boards are more diverse. Wouldn't that have helped Enron a little bit if there was somebody who spoke up? So that is concerning to me that that is still such a strong issue for women.
Is that something that TEMPO could take a look at and try to make a difference?
Keane: …if we had Kathleen Woit [president, Madison Community Foundation] were here, she'd be the perfect person to address this because she's heading up the board initiative on behalf of TEMPO. And part of what our organization is trying to do is make sure that our members are positioned for selection. And part of that is just connections, but the other part of it is, "Can you read a P&L statement? Do you know what this means on a balance sheet?" … What dimension am I bringing to this board? It's not the fact that I'm a female, but it's the approach, the difference, the philosophical differences. In some cases, it's empathy, and in some cases, it's intolerance, and whatever it might be, but how do we position ourselves so like, Joel Skornicka did some twenty six years ago when he wanted to put some women [in his cabinet], Do we have a well that we can go to? That's an initiative that TEMPO has taken on, and has aggressively sold, for lack of a better word, to our membership, saying "Please you guys, come to these sessions, learn about these topics because you are the boards of the future." And the only way for us to be selected is to be prepared to be selected …
Roys: The lieutenant governor's Wisconsin Women Equal Prosperity program (www.wiwep.org) actually has put together some really amazing research that companies that do have gender-balanced representation on their boards are actually more profitable, so … having women or having diversity or different perspectives, actually, is good for business. …when you can ensure that it affects your bottom line, that's when changes will occur. Because people need to see something to provoke a change out of their zone of comfort, and generally it's profit motive.
Keane: While we want diversity and gender equity, I think what we really want is just to be viewed as the most qualified candidate. … Not just because we're a woman, but because we're smart, we've got a lot of experience, we have the credentials to earn the spot, not to earn the "woman's spot" on the board.
It's almost haunting when you think about at least some of these conversations you could be having when TEMPO first started twenty five years ago. … What is TEMPO doing to recruit more minorities into its organization? Have we hit that critical mass yet?
Balisle: No, I think what we've done is we've actively looked at African American women who are at the top of where they are, and actively recruited, and been fortunate to have African American women, Hispanic women, women of a variety of heritages because they were at the top of their game. And so TEMPO has been okay about it, but I always think it can be better. I think that one of the things about women historically, and minority women, is that their initial rise to authority is often in the non-profit sector before the for-profit sector. And, sometimes, non-profit sectors are not traditionally seen as executive positions – I think Kelda can probably talk about that more. TEMPO has been very good, particularly in the last ten years, about looking at the non-profit sector as a source of executives, and as a result, we've had more diversity just by doing that. So, it's always an issue, it's always a discussion. It's a very important thing. I just think that the more diversity you have, the stronger you are because you're not having to guess at what people think, you're not imposing your own frame of reference on other people, and it broadens all of us to understand people who may come from different places than we do. I think Kelda and Lucy both talked about the balance issue, and I find it fascinating to hear a young woman talk about, "Well, now how can I work until nine every night if I have a family at home? When do I leave to take the dog out and pick up the child at the day care? And I look back on those years when I was doing all those things, and frankly, I didn't sleep much. That's really the short answer. I relied on friends and I relied on all sorts of people. And it comes down to, are you a person that has ambition and drive to go some place that others may not have gone, and do you have the energy at the end of the day to be able to do all of that? And it is a mixed bag, and I can't tell you about any particular role model who has done it all perfectly. I think the biggest thing that women I've known in TEMPO who have had to balance all of that and in the legal profession is to live with your own imperfection and the fact that you're not going to be the best mother, you're not going to be maybe the best lawyer, you're not going to be the best business person, but it's all going to be good enough. It's all going to be good enough. And women who are executives in business tend to be perfectionists, and that's very stressful to not be the best.
[In TEMPO], everybody's a perfectionist, as you say, everybody's a workaholic, everybody wants to succeed more and better … not just from an ego level but from looking at our history as women. You're not there for any other reason.
Balisle: Women multi-task. That is just what we do. So when I have interest in other ventures…you know, I've got an established law firm, I've been doing this for twenty seven years, and I have other interests. But people go, "How can you do it all?" I go, "I've always done four or five things". I mean, my son was three-and-a-half months old when I started law school. But that's what women do, is multiple things. You just sort of shift what they are at different times.
Do you think the climate's changing so that women don't have to? We multi-task because we have to multi-task. Maybe we don't want to multi-task and shouldn't have to.
Keane: I think it's more the issue of perfection, and then the combination – you throw in the multi-tasking capability, which may not be desired…
We're just good at it.
Keane: I think that that may be a little bit more the issue is the drive, and admittedly … I do not gladly tolerate the fool, and I know that's an imperfection in me because it's like, "Darn it, just do it," and that causes stress, and I'm going to take to heart what Linda said. That's good advice. It's OK to be OK. … And then that does afford you the opportunity to multi-task, and do it maybe more effectively, maybe a less stressful way of doing it. One of the best quotes that I've ever heard about owning a business is that "It's great to own your own business because you only have to work half-days. Pick any twelve hours you want." And that's true, and then you add in, "But I want to be in TEMPO, and I want to serve on the boards and committees that I serve on, and I want to play golf." And so that's where you have the things you need to do and the things that you want to do collide, and that's I think what Kelda was saying, too. They collide, and you just do it. You multi-task and you just do it because that's what you want for your work life: balance.
Roys: In terms of the climate, I think the thing that might make it possible for TEMPO women is really having a passion for what they do. If you're in your own business, or you're in a sector that you really care about, that makes it a lot easier. I think so many people do not have that luxury; they're just working to make ends meet. And so, really all of us in TEMPO have to remember how lucky we are despite the challenges to be in a position where we care about our jobs, and we're invested in them, and that makes it OK when you're working twelve hours – you can say, well there's an end to it, and I care about what I'm doing.
Keane: One of the things that this membership, at least for me, affords me the opportunity is to say… "You know what? Should I let go of this piece, whatever it was, a particularly difficult non-profit client or whatever it is? To say, I'm making myself crazy, but you see it from a different perspective than I do. Is it me being a perfectionist? Is it that we haven't properly educated this person on what our role in this process is? What should I do?" And I can call someone who is in a fringe industry to what I do, or I can call someone who is a direct competitor of mine, and because I'm calling under this TEMPO platform, I can get input and advice from someone on any other day I hope I beat in a competitive environment, and that to me, is the universal equalizer of TEMPO. When we were talking about the [TEMPO] 25th anniversary … we were talking about the idea, "Leadership by Example" and mentoring … and we went around the table and talked about the topic of mentoring… The consensus in the room was that most of our mentors don't know they are our mentors. And that speaks a little bit to what Linda was saying of the lateral mentorship. I look to that person for leadership or for example because I see them in their environment. Not because they've been doing it thirty years longer than I have, or because they were a great teacher, or sort of the traditional default modes for mentors. Most of us agree that the people who are our mentors in TEMPO have absolutely no idea that they're mentoring us.
Could there be mentors that are younger than you are?
Keane: Absolutely, certainly … I don't think mentor equals old. I think mentor equals fresh. I think mentor equals challenge. And I don't think, whether you're male or female, or young or old… Change is the way we challenge ourselves personally. If you can be open to say… I bet I could sit down with Kelda for lunch, even though I'm considerably older than she is, and learn a lot from her.
Let's talk about TEMPO tomorrow. What is your hope for TEMPO into the future?
Balisle: I hope we find more Keldas because she is a young executive who has all the challenges of an executive, and who we do learn a lot from. There is a notion of beginner's mind in some way, and Kelda has learned a lot, but she looks at us and has a very fresh point of view. I hope we have more young women who are making it to the top sooner than we did, and who can become members of TEMPO. And I think we actually have an initiative for women at the top and rising, and I think that's got a wonderful future in TEMPO.
Roys: I would like to see TEMPO grow more diverse in many different areas. In terms of the professional realms, where we have representation, in terms of obviously ethnic diversity and racial diversity. Geography – I would like to see more chapters in [other] places. As people move, to start chapters up, which I think is a testament to how powerful TEMPO can be in people's professional lives.
Lucy, you're on the 25th committee. Let's talk about the celebration a little bit, share with people what we're going to see over the next couple of months.
Keane: Well, I'll thank Madison Magazine because you've been a great venue for us to place advertisements that profile women in our organization. The spirit of that campaign was really to show that we're everywhere – we're in law, we're in government, we're in business, we're in non-profit … not necessarily that they're the most accomplished people by any stretch of the imagination because then we'd have 287 ads to run because that's TEMPO's membership. But they're representative of the spirit. We talk about that we influence millions of dollars, we mentor lots of people, we manage hundreds of businesses, and from that standpoint, we really settled in on [the slogan "Leadership by Example." And people lead in different ways. People give back through their gifts of their time, through their gifts of talent, through their resources. Everyone does it a different way, and it doesn't matter what your way is – it matters that we do it. And so that's really what we've tried to communicate through our 25th celebration – which is, we're here, we're leaders in your community, we're standing shoulder to shoulder with you – you just might not know who we are. And … one of the ways you give back is a gift, and we're presenting this "Side-by-Side" concert at the Capitol Theater, which is for the first time … concert of professional musicians in the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra with youth musicians in the Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestra, playing together side-by-side. It's just a neat opportunity to bridge those generations and bring them together, which kind of works in concert with things we've talked about as it relates to TEMPO. And at the same time, we're going to acknowledge [businesswoman and philanthropist] Pleasant Rowland for the leadership that she has shown in Madison through her obviously terrific generosity, but also her great entrepreneurial spirit. But this is really about celebrating the fact that TEMPO has fostered the rise of the women of our generations together to a really impactful 700-strong international organization that connects people together. And that's really what our 25th is about … This is what we've done, this is pretty cool. We've been here a long time.
Balisle: You asked about some of the differences from the beginning to now, and one of the big ones is when TEMPO started, there was only a TEMPO in Milwaukee, and the founders of TEMPO Madison wanted to replicate that in Madison, and did so. Over the years, as our members have moved other places – usually for work, sometimes for family – they've established TEMPO chapters in Tucson, in Chicago, in Paris, … Naples, Florida. The list goes on, and while that makes wonderful places for us to have meetings – once a year we have a TEMPO International meeting and next year it's in Banff, Canada – it also shows how important TEMPO has been to our members that they take it to where they go and create another TEMPO chapter, and that was never planned, that was not one of the initial goals, and it's been really wonderful thing that's happened over time and I assume will continue to happen.
So when a single woman goes to a new community or a new city with no connections, how do you start?
Balisle: Well, if you want to get started, you contact the mother ship – the Milwaukee and Madison [chapters] and the TEMPO International organization, and you get help. Suggestions for how to do the most important thing and that is find the right women – t he top women and where they are. And once you get the right people, frankly it happens in its own.
Keane: The other thing is that the organization serves as outreach. So if I were to move to Minneapolis, I could remain a TEMPO member at-large and still participate in the meetings and the education and the programming so that in the time that it may take to start another organization, another chapter, the saw is still sharp. …I really think that as we look into the crystal ball and how we will measure success for TEMPO twenty five years from now, that would be a benchmark I would use, is how successful are we in our relatively portable society where people up and move all over the place all the time, to spread our wings into other parts of the country, and additionally bringing new and younger members up to keep our organization strong.
TEMPO Madison's 25th festivities conclude Sept. 30 with a concert of professional and youth musicians and a special tribute to national business leader and philanthropist, Madisonian Pleasant Rowland. For tickets, call 258-4141 or visit overturecenter.com.

2010 Ford Taurus
Cruising back to relevance.
It's hard to believe, but it wasn't long ago that the Ford Taurus was the best-selling car in America. After a series of bold-but misguided-moves, it morphed into the Five Hundred, an anodyne machine that failed to resonate with the public.
For 2010, a major update was in order. The new Taurus is built on the same basic architecture that underpinned the Five Hundred, but its lower roof and higher beltline reduce the car's visual height, and its front end is eye-catching and modern. The platform itself is getting on in years-it originally stems from the Volvo S80-but numerous updates, including a new rear suspension, hide the age spots.
The Taurus comes in three trim levels, all of which are powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 that spins the front wheels through a six-speed automatic. All-wheel drive is optional on the two top models, which come standard with shift paddles on the steer-ing wheel-certainly not something you would have seen in the Five Hundred.
Also rolling into showrooms is the Taurus SHO. With a 365-hp, direct-injected, twin-turbo V-6, the all-wheel-drive SHO hits 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and does the quarter mile in 14.2 seconds at 101 mph. Despite those numbers, neither the SHO nor the standard Taurus will worry the performance-sedan establishment-the supersize Ford is more of a cruiser than an athlete. But it's a big improvement over its predecessor and a bold move in the right direction.
ON SALE: Now
3.5L V-6, 263 hp,
249 lb-ft; 3.5L twin-turbo V-6, 365 hp,
350 lb-ft; front or 4-wheel drive

Business continuity management becomes an increased priority in the crisis
LONDON - The risk of failed business continuity management (BCM) is set to increase in the recession, as some firms collapse and others discover unforeseen interdependence due to outsourced areas such as technology and supply chains.
UK consultancy the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) estimates that UK firms lost approximately £11.1 billion - 0.8% of UK GDP - in 2008 due to major disruptions caused by BCM failures. As more interconnected firms go out of business, this cost is expected to rise.
"In the current economic downturn, customers and suppliers will inevitably go out of business and it is vital that an organisation understands its dependency on critical suppliers," says Lyndon Bird, technical director of the BCI. "Disruptions to the supply chain will be one of the main business continuity concerns for 2009 and will run way into 2010."
UK standards institution BSI British Standards this week released its new self-assessment tool for firms seeking BSI accreditation for their business continuity management.
"In tough economic times such as these, it is more important than ever for businesses to have the business continuity management systems in place that will help them stay afloat should operations be disrupted," says Mike Low, director of BSI British Standards. "BCM can be used to determine and invest in critical areas of the organisation, protect reputation and enhance stakeholder confidence."

This is my faaavourite...
This is my faaavourite notebook :) 6mm lines mean you can fit more writing, use
your fine pens, and it has lovely smooth paper of that faint honey white with
light, fine blue-grey lines which don't overpower pencil or pen. It's the right
cloth bound thickness that it falls open easily.. I use this as my everything
notebook, it comes everywhere with me - plus B5 is more portable than A4. It's
my favourite page size, visually more proportionate than A4. The double page
spread is an inviting workspace :) Allocated lines for headings and date
encourage good recordkeeping for a book without perforations, I just use it in
chronological order and know I won't lose any of my notes. Horizontal and
vertical measurement markers help divide up a table quickly. The paper loves
noodlers bulletproof black + sailor/lamy EF nibs :)
Does not need a cover - I used it like this at uni for a year. It gets a little tattered and tufty at the corners, but doesn't fall apart. I change bags more now, so I've started using the black systemic cover designed for it. Good canvas, adds some storage for loose leaves, looks more professional at work (even though it's definitely not just work on the inside). Oh - and lots of pages and unimposing lines means it's also good for sketching out draft design concepts etc. The best notebook! Aesthetically pleasing and so practical :) 11 people found this helpful

I'd use this notebook...
Verified Purchase
I'd use this notebook for school or anywhere as long as I'm at a desk, since the
covers are soft and too flexible to support it without a hard surface
The other reviews are correct, the paper is wonderful, the 6mm ruled lines are great, and the 100 page count is awesome, you'll never run out of space mid-semester! BUT, I have to take away one star for the binding. First of all, you can't fold the cover around to the back like with a spiral bound. Also, glue binding is typically inconsistent from page to page; what I mean is, some pages are glued closer to the binding than others--it seems to be every other page in this notebook! Also, the glue is often inconsistent from the top to bottom of a single page...what happens is, when you turn that page, it wont lay flat. You practically have to break the binding every time you turn a page! If this was a twin ring notebook with a hard cover, I'd give it 6 stars and buy ten of em right now! Otherwise, everything else about this notebook is worthy of 5+ stars! 2 people found this helpful

Yesterday, i played a dominion match in a player vs player match. Everyone was picking their champions and i picked my number one champion, Blitzcrank. One person who was using Jax told me not to use him because he is not a good character in dominion. It struck me as odd because i won a few dominion battles as Blitzcrank quite a while ago. After the battle, i proved to him- and the others as well for good measure, that Blitzcrank is at least decent in it, with mine having 12 kills, 5 deaths, 6 assists along with having the largest killing spree of 6- oh, and we won it. I was rank 3 when it came to the the ranks. I may not have captured many points, but i sure made plenty of points neutral for my team mates to finish capturing while i worked to assist others and keeping the enemy at bay. Granted, i am not trying to brag, but i just think that Blitzcrank is a good character for dominion- just as i am sure there are plenty of other champions out there that are actually good for dominion, but merely not given a good chance to shine. Anyways, i just wanted to hear your opinions and the whys that goes with it.
Blitz is a top pick and always has been. Ignore dumbasses.
A single hat
Blitz is as good as the player that plays him.
Only if the person playing him is a complete ****in ******. Which, sadly, is about 90% of them.
He's good to excellent. Free tankiness, amazing CC, not too shabby DPS, nice speed boost. What's not to love? Your teammate was simply mistaken on this point. He's a fairly popular pick, and with good reason.
Blitzcrank is strong. Beep boop I punch you.
Rebel Dragon
Blitz is very good. /endstory

Senior military officials said troops closed in on Prabhakaran and his final cadre early Monday.
He and his top deputies then drove an armor-plated van accompanied by a bus filled with rebel fighters toward approaching Sri Lankan forces, sparking a two-hour firefight, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Special: The End of Tamil Tigers
Troops eventually fired a rocket at the van, ending the battle, they said. Troops pulled Prabhakaran's body from the van and identified it as that of the rebel leader, they said. The attack also killed Soosai, the head of the rebels' naval wing, and Pottu Amman, the group's feared intelligence commander, the officials said.
