This week Beef Products Incorporated, or BPI, temporarily closed down a total of three meat processing plants in Kansas, Texas and Iowa. The social media backlash over the processed meat may end its use, which could mean a lot of lost jobs. So the governors of those states are doing damage control.

EGM Review:
Conduit 2
Posted on June 28, 2011 AT 01:39pm
A portal into mediocrity
Although The Conduit accumulated an admiral chunk of accolades for its technical prowess and engaging multiplayer, its potential rapidly diminished due to lackluster level design and a predictable pace. With Conduit 2, developer High Voltage Software has tweaked the gameplay and added crucial new features to deliver a sequel that still carries a few hiccups but is an overall improvement.
Wasting no time with tedious exposition, Conduit 2 thrusts the player—once again in the worn combat boots of ex-Secret Service agent Michael Ford—into a globe-spanning manhunt for the treacherous John Adams via portal-like conduit devices. Along the way, Ford uncovers yet more nuggets of conspiracy and subterfuge while preparing an especially cold dish of revenge for Adams and his shadowy organization, the Trust.
In a dramatic shift from The Conduit's confining Washington D.C. setting, Conduit 2 tosses in various locales and features more imaginative level design than the Capitol's bland and stifling corridors. This time around, Ford's mission sends him to exotic destinations such as China, Siberia, and even the fabled city of Atlantis, resulting in some terrific vistas of rocky mountain ranges and stormy skies. An increased amount of scripted events keeps the momentum at a steady rate. However, I found it difficult to take advantage of creating impromptu cover by tipping over tables and vending machines; waltzing into the middle of a room didn't diminish my chances of survival in the slightest. Additionally, the heightened eye candy doesn't fully mask each zone's linearity. While the path sometimes splits into tactically advantageous routes, I'd inevitably wind up in an area that'd be locked down tight until every foe was defeated.
Thankfully, a few over-the-top boss fights offset the stagnancy somewhat. It's not every day that shooter gamers can square off against a gargantuan metal sea serpent that breathes lasers, but High Voltage managed to incorporate traditional elements of boss battles—such as glowing weak points—into a genre typically bereft of massive beasts to sink bullets into.
As one of the few exclusive first-person shooters for the Wii, Conduit 2's near-flawless execution of its robust control scheme is a welcome carryover from the previous game. Every button of the Wii Remote can be reassigned for custom control setups, but there's also a plethora of tweakable settings that include turning speed, cursor sensitivity, and dead zone adjustments. The payoff is an extremely satisfying shooting experience, as lining up headshots became a snap once I tailored the game to my preferences.
Of course, nailing headshots in Conduit 2 isn't an entirely difficult affair, thanks to the woeful intelligence of the computer-controlled enemies. I'd frequently encounter aliens and soldiers alike jogging against walls and standing obliviously still as their comrades fell next to them. In one area, I was able to calmly melee a hulking juggernaut of an alien to death after it became trapped in the middle of a flight of stairs. Why bother wasting ammo when inanimate objects can do the job for you?
But your trigger finger better be primed for Conduit 2's far more engrossing multiplayer. The game's creative and powerful arsenal of weaponry shines quite strongly here; I particularly enjoyed the AR-C Eclipse rifle's intriguing dynamic of cooling its cloaking generator via sustained fire. The 13 different multiplayer modes include staples such as Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag along with more strategic fare like Bounty Hunter, a hunt-and-be-hunted cornucopia of tension similar to Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's Wanted. The ability to alter loadouts and purchase weapons and upgrades with points is nothing new by now, but it's a successful system that will keep multiplayer mavens coming back for more.
Conduit 2 is a definite step up from its first incarnation, but still fails to grasp its full potential. The single-player falters due to ho-hum combat and moronic AI, but the top-notch controls and enjoyable multiplayer just might be enough to push this second attempt over the top.
SUMMARY: An underwhelming campaign can't suppress the fantastic multiplayer shooter experience on the Wii.
- THE GOOD: Fantastic multiplayer and more varied levels
- THE BAD: Single-player still underwhelming, cheesy voice acting
- THE UGLY: Harebrained AI behavior
Score: 7.0
- The Conduit HD Coming to Android Devices with Tegra SoC
- No Plans for Single-Player Tomb Raider DLC
- Max Payne 3 Multiplayer to Contain Elements of Story

DeleteTextures is defined to use different protocol from the EXT version, so they are not aliases according to the meaning used in the spec files (which is that not just the GL semantics, but *all* behavior beyond the subroutine entry point must be identical). Most extension entry points which get promoted really are aliases in this sense, because they share the same GLX rendering opcode, but for queries the protocol is changed from vendor private to GLX "single". So yes, it should have its own dispatch offset. The spec file needs a way to distinguish between aliasing on the client and server side - probably a new alias keyword - to capture this distinction, so that more of the GLX client/server code could be autogenerated.

"Every positive change I have been able to make in my life for the past ten years I owe to PW and the teaching of Linda Trichter Metcalf and Tobin Simon."
-Nina Morris-Farber, Ph.D., teacher and writer
In the summer of 1976, Linda Trichter Metcalf, a professor of English and Humanities at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, sat in the attic of an old stone house writing an internal narrative she planned to use as the basis of her doctoral dissertation at New York University. Although she had been teaching at Pratt long enough to be facing tenure, she still had to write her dissertation. This was the age of reader-response theory in literary criticism, focusing on the interaction between the literary text and the subjective experience of reading it. So Linda set out to track her reading of a novel, moving through it phrase by phrase, and sentence by sentence, recording the thoughts that came to her as she read, 6 hours a day for three months.
In the process of this written investigation, something unexpected happened. Her experience of herself began to change. Her mind felt alive whereas before it had felt static. Nothing in her education or in years of talk therapy had affected her in this way. To be learning from herself, to feel at one with herself–what miracle had achieved this end? She felt a calling to teach this writing method to others and to explain it to her own satisfaction.
So that fall, when classes began again, Linda taught her literature and composition students a method of writing never taught before–the same Proprioceptive Writing method that people learn today. The following semester, Tobin Simon, a professor in the Pratt English Department, began teaching PW to his students of literature and culture. Linda and Toby had been profoundly transformed by using the method, and over the following year, both observed such transformations and enthusiasm in their PW students that they decided to devote themselves to PW full time. They terminated their academic careers and left New York City for the coast of Maine, a new landscape offering solitude and teaching possibilities.
Linda and Toby placed a small ad in a local newspaper, announcing themselves as teachers of PW. A few years and many students later, they established the Proprioceptive Writing Center, incorporated as a non-profit educational center dedicated to the teaching of PW, and offered PW in multiple formats: privately, in groups, as 14-hour weekend intensives, as 5-day retreats, as weekly classes, and as yearly seminars. Sometimes they brought gender and class concepts into the PW mix. They taught PW to home-schooled and public school children; they introduced PW at holistic studies centers, as well as to groups of psychiatrists, psychotherapists, teachers, artists, and ministers. They developed a curriculum for a PW teacher-certification program, after which others began teaching PW too. As interest spread, dissertations and graduate papers were written about PW at such schools as the Harvard School of Education, University of Massachusetts, and Vermont College.
In 1996 Linda and Toby established the PW Center in New York City. There they began conducting PW therapy and teaching PW online, as well as privately and in small classes. In 2002 their book Writing the Mind Alive: The Proprioceptive Method for Finding Your Authentic Voice was published by Ballantine. This book and the PWC's first web site made PW available to a wide pubic.
In 2006 Linda and Toby opened the PW Center in Oakland, California, where Toby teaches poetry and Linda teaches PW to an expanding group of practitioners. Recently, working together with a small circle of PW practitioners and teachers, Linda has developed a program for those wishing to deepen their experience of PW, as well as a new teacher-training program, held online and through conference calls, with herself and teaching faculty of the PW Center. Workshops in PW have been held at every major US center for holistic studies, including Esalen, Omega, Rowe, New York Open Center, and Kripalu. Today, with the help of Writing the Mind Alive, PW is practiced alone and in groups throughout the country.
Linda Trichter Metcalf, teacher, author, and pioneer in mind exploration, graduated from the High School of Performing Arts in Manhattan and the City College of New York and received her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in English Literature from New York University. In the mid-1970s, while a professor at Pratt Institute, she created the practice now known as Proprioceptive Writing® (PW) to help students express their deepest thoughts and feelings. With Tobin Simon, she left academia and co-founded the Proprioceptive Writing Center, where she teaches PW and directs the PW teacher-training program. Linda's Notebook Writing the Mind Alive
Tobin Simon, poet, teacher, author, received his B.A. from Washington and Jefferson College, his M.A. from Stanford, and his Ph.D. from New York University. While a professor of English and Humanities at Pratt Institute, he edited the poetry magazine, Snakeroots. In the mid-1970s he began teaching PW with Linda Trichter Metcalf. With her, he co-founded and directed the PW Center, formerly in New York City and Portland, Maine, currently in Oakland, California, where he teaches individuals and groups how to write poetry.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and his Human Trafficking Commission, is now reviewing a report analyzing the depth of sex trafficking in Ohio.
The report was compiled by commission member and University of Toledo professor Celia Williamson, took more than a year to compile and focuses on minor and adult sex trafficking across the state.
"The Ohio Attorney General's Office asked the commission to go out into the community and talk with human trafficking victims," Dewine said in a news release. "Because of this report, we now have more insight into who is more likely to get trafficked and how to prevent it."
The full report is now available online or can be read in the DocumentCloud viewer below.
Chart from the report: Experiences of youth before being involved in the child sex trade
Family | Child abuse & neglect | Worried about what they would eat and where they would sleep | 41% were victims of neglect 44% were victims of abuse 40% were victims of sex abuse 37% were victims of emotional abuse/psychological maltreatment |
Family member in sex trade | Close family member | 33% | |
Individual | Depression | Diagnosed | 30% |
Raped | More than a year before being trafficked Less than a year before before trafficked |
9.6% |
Friends | Proximity to purchasers | Having friends who purchased sex | 35.6% |
Friends involved | Involved in selling others | 30% | |
Friends involved | Involved in selling themselves | 59% | |
Boyfriends/Girlfriends | Much older boyfriend/girlfriend | 50% | |
Runaway | Running away from home | Once or more than once | 63% |
Criminal Justice | Interaction with law enforcement | Spending time in juvenile detention Being arrested for drug paraphernalia |
21% 25% |
School | School | Difficulty in school | 39% |
The report is based on interviews with more than 300 self-identified human trafficking victims, according to a release from DeWine's office. Some of those victims were from Cleveland.
The report will also contain data on the prevalence of sex trafficking in different regions around the state and offer seven recommendations on how to combat the problem.
The author of the study, a University of Toledo professor of criminal justice and social work, was also at the news conference.
DeWine's office had said that victims from Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo were interviewed, and that the report includes data specific to each region.
A Central Ohio task force appointed by DeWine last week announced that four people from Chillicothe had been indicted for bringing teenage girls to Ohio and forcing them into prostitution, working as sex slaves.
The commission released a report in 2010, under then attorney general Richard Cordray, which concluded that more than 1,000 American-born children are each year forced into sex trafficking in Ohio. The entire report is on the attorney general's web site.
Ohio has since passed tougher laws specifically outlawing human trafficking.
The Columbus Dispatch also reported on Aug. 3 the first ever indictments in Franklin County on human trafficking charges.

Rotational period of WD 1953-011 - a magnetic white dwarf with a star-spot
UNSPECIFIED. (2005) Rotational period of WD 1953-011 - a magnetic white dwarf with a star-spot. MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY, 357 (1). pp. 333-337. ISSN 0035-8711

WD 1953- 011 is an isolated, cool (7920 +/- 200 K) magnetic white dwarf (MWD) with a low average field strength ( similar to 70 kG), and a higher than average mass ( similar to 0.74 M.). Spectroscopic observations taken by Maxted et al. showed variations of equivalent width in the Balmer lines, unusual in a low- field white dwarf. Here we present V- band photometry of WD 1953- 011 taken at seven epochs over a total of 22 months. All of the data sets show a sinusoidal variation of approximately 2 per cent peak- to- peak amplitude. We propose that these variations are due to a star- spot on the MWD, analogous to a sunspot, which is affecting the temperature at the surface, and therefore its photometric magnitude. The variations have a best- fitting period over the entire 22 months of 1.4418 d, which we interpret as the rotational period of the white dwarf.

Before you take your next bite, restaurateur, chef and Top Chef Masters alum Traci Des Jardins wants you to ask yourself a few questions.
1. What is the environmental footprint of your food? 2. Where did it come from? 3. How was it produced? 4. How did it travel to where you are?
Staying connected to your food is crucial, says Des Jardins. People need to take responsibility for the creatures they consume and the impact their food choices make on the environment. And, she cautions young chefs, despite what you see on television, it's not all glitz, glamour and rock star treatment when you get hired in a kitchen; it's brutally hard work. FULL POST

Just before the Region III swim meet, Richard Ginter told his coach, Anna Borland-Ivy, he wanted to swim the 50-yard freestyle. Good call. A little over two weeks later, the Homer senior was Alaska's fastest swimmer in the event. Ginter took home two individual medals first in the 50 free and second in the 100 butterfly and helped Homer's 200 free relay to a state title en route to a third-place team finish at the ASAA Alaska State Swimming and Diving Championships on Saturday at Bartlett High. "He's never really been a 50 freestyler," Borland-Ivy said. "It was a really good decision." Ginter's 50 free time of 21.82 was more than six-tenths of a second faster than second-place Austin Hummel of Dimond. "Richard had a great meet," Borland-Ivy said. "He killed his 50 freestyle." Dimond's boys cruised to a third straight team title while Kodiak's girls won after two consecutive years as runners-up. Homer's boys were just two points behind second-place Sitka. Ginter said he swam his best 50 free of the season at state. Ginter said he pushed himself for all 50 of those yards. "It's the final meet of my swimming career in high school. I want to make it worth everything I got," he said. "Going all-out every race is part of that." Composure and a superior work ethic led to Ginter's state title performance, Borland-Ivy said. "He's put his nose to the grindstone and really worked hard," she said. "He's been very focused all season." Ginter, who was ranked first in the butterfly, finished 0.13 seconds behind first-place Nathan Messing of Juneau-Douglas. After Ginter swam his final event as a high-schooler, he had time to take in his accomplishments. "Two firsts and a second, it's really good in my eyes," he said. "It sunk in. That was it." The Mariners, who came in ranked No. 1 in the 200 free relay, acted like the top seed. They dropped eight-tenths of a second off their seed time and came in nearly a half second ahead of second-place Dimond. "They owned that race from the beginning," Borland-Ivy said. Ginter, James Reid, Kyle Wentz and Nathanael Hardy all seniors have been practicing to be one of the state's top relay teams the past two years, Borland-Ivy said, and it paid off at state. "It takes hard work, and they all put it in," she said. "They've really been putting in the time." Ginter said each relay member swam their hardest, and they couldn't be happier with the result. "We just went for it," he said. "We're all super stoked about today." The same foursome was ranked No. 1 in the 200 medley relay, but finished a disappointing fifth. Though the medley relay didn't reach the podium, being ranked first coming into state was a great achievement, Ginter said. "To be placed first was amazing," he said. Borland-Ivy said she was impressed with how the boys responded in the 200 free relay. Hardy also reached the finals in two individual events. He placed fifth in the 50 free and fourth in the 100 breaststroke. Reid placed eighth in the 100 breaststroke. Four of Homer's six divers at state (Lindsey Seneff, Jasmine Lewis, Brian Rowe and Garrett Hall) reached finals. Seneff, who didn't practice all week due to an ankle injury, placed third. "That's all I wanted was to be on the podium," Seneff said. "I'm so happy." Seneff, a senior, has made state all four years but never placed higher than sixth, she said. Seneff said the hardware she's bringing back to Homer was so exciting she was on the verge of tears. "I have a medal," she said with a giant smile. "It's really huge and heavy." Lewis finished eighth in the girls diving competition. On the boys side, Hall took fifth and Rowe placed eighth. Marie Schmidt finished fourth in the 500 free. Her time of 5:22.51 is a new Homer record, Borland-Ivy said. "She's a really hard worker," Borland-Ivy said.

-Quiet tranquility as the storm passed; releasing physical manacles of the past threads, a new one to be spun-
touch upon an innocence, a drop of seduction upon the way,
blood, soft, red, hot, like her-his body,
travel and explore the wide, and untasted regions with a caress, hand, or tongue,
to roll, and run little beads of sweat upon golden skin,
in moving darkness,
upon sheets made of grains of lust, soft and grating, that strokes against the skin.
To unbind my hair, and let the breeze have its way, let nature have its course with me, and take as much as it dares
-Before I let another have me-
failing to comprehend that we take, to give, to taste and refine the uncouth.
Naivety of my youth,
Intoxicate, with the wine of sensuality-of a new day; knowing I wanted to commit a sin-
I shed my clothing and offer myself willingly; is this not a wonderful sacrifice, to rise with the dawn, and sleep with the moon,
-To fade back into the sea to rise when the moon and the sun make love-
I swirl around, relishing my freedom.

Redmond usually releases security patches once a month, on Patch Tuesday, but Microsoft's security experts are worried enough about a newly reported vulnerability in the Server service to post an "out-of-band" security update, MS08-067, yesterday for all versions of Windows from Windows 2000 SP4 through Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 pre-beta. Microsoft hasn't issued a security update between Patch Tuesday releases since April 2007, so this is a significant security issue.
Although all supported versions of Windows are vulnerable, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 versions are especially vulnerable to this flaw, which can permit remote code execution via a specially crafted RFC request.
According to the Security Bulletin summary for October, the vulnerability described in MS08-067 receives the highest Exploitability Index Assessment: 1 - Consistent exploit code likely. From the notes for MS08-067:
Consistent exploit code has been discovered in limited, targeted attacks, affecting Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. While this service is enabled by default on all affected platforms, exploitation is most likely on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003....
If you're running Windows Update, install the update labeled KB958644. If you need to download and install the update manually, open the Windows Operating System and Components section of the October security bulletin and click the link for your operating system. The Windows 7 pre-beta updates for 32-bit and 64-bit versions are not listed in the October security bulletin, but can be obtained by clicking the links provided here.

OK, here we go again...an offer on another boat!
I know I'm going to sound like a broken record with my threads. Let's just say we decided to bite the bullet again on another boat this afternoon. I think the offer may actually get to the listing broker in the morning though.
So maybe we'll hear something back tomorrow. I'm excited about the boat, but less positive about the process after our last experience. Fortunately, the last time we found out very early that there was something sketchy going on, so it didn't turn into a nightmare.
Hopefully, our offer will be accepted (at least keep us talking). I guess we'll see...I'll keep you updated. No pics or details of course until we have an agreement on the boat...
Thanks for letting me post a vague post with no real information!

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have figured out the orientation of a protein in the antenna complex to its neighboring membrane in a photosynthetic bacterium, a key find in the process of energy transfer in photosynthesis.
Robert Blankenship, Ph.D., Markey Distinguished Professor of biology and chemistry in Arts & Sciences, led a team that for the first time combined chemical labeling with mass spectroscopy to verify the orientation. The team also included Michael Gross, Ph.D., Washington University professor of chemistry, immunology and medicine, and chemistry graduate students Jianzhong Wen and Hao Zhang. A paper describing this work appeared recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA.
In green sulfur bacteria, which live in extremely dim environments with scarce visible light, the membrane-attached Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) antenna protein serves as a sort of wire connecting the large peripheral chlorosome antenna complex with the organism's reaction center. These bacteria are related to extreme heat-loving bacteria that live at thermal vents on the ocean floor. Their antenna systems are much larger and more pronounced than those of other bacteria to take advantage of whatever geothermal light they can harvest.
Blankenship fondly refers to the FMO protein as the taco shell protein because of its structure: its ribbon-like backbone wraps around three clusters of seven chlorophylls, just like a taco shell around ground beef. The structure also is referred to as trimeric because of the three clusters.
The taco shell is a sort of "middleman" in the antenna system, sandwiched in between a larger antenna and a complex called the reaction center, where all the electron transfer chemistry takes place.
Most of the absorption of light is carried out by a complex called the chlorosome that then transfers the energy to the trimeric protein that in turn transfers to the reaction c

Add touches of wool upholstery on accent pieces like chairs or stools. This counter stool is upholstered in tartan wool adorned with nickel nailhead trim.
Who said formal needs to be boring? Add vibrant color to a formal dining space to create a relaxing, fun vibe. Shades of blue are divided by a white chair rail that unite the wall and curtains. The plush, blue tufted sofa becomes the focal point, accented with multi-colored throw pillows. The green palm tree leaves add natural dimension and color.
Just off the kitchen, this quaint breakfast nook has room for the whole family. A tufted banquette bench and two neutral, upholstered dining chairs surround a round, glass dining table for a casual place to gather. A shimmery dome pendant light and a simple, modern clock complete the stylish, minimal look.
To meet her client's storage needs, designer Claire Paquin created this sleek home office for two using wood paneling and built-in bookshelves, cabinetry and desks. Even a large flatscreen television found a home as an insert on an unoccupied wall of the room. An area rug in light blue and orange completes her functional design.
Bold blue walls set the backdrop for a tall velvet bench in this dining room. Simple contemporary dining chairs and table allow the textured yellow velvet bench to command the most attention. Matching white end tables and contemporary-style mirrors flank the bench, and a colorful floral arrangement acts as the dining table's centerpiece.
High ceilings and large windows make this contemporary family room feel grand. A chic gray color palette is accentuated with orange pillows and a cutout yellow pendant light.
Designer Claire Paquin incorporated her client's large brown leather sectional sofa in the living room by making it the focal point of the room. She pulled together a serene look by using a soft creams on the walls and for the area rug and drapes and added a large piece of poster art in dark blue for a pop of color. The look is comfortable and contemporary.
Candice Olson, host of HGTV's "Candice Tells All," created this living room that blends style and function. She says, "It's important to know what makes the most sense for your lifestyle and home, so don't choose colors, fabrics or even materials that won't work for your family, children or pets." This living room's rustic wood coffee table, dark upholstered armchair and patterned area rug ensure a family-friendly space.
This bright and cheery family room is covered in high-energy hues, packed with pet-friendly materials and outfitted with clever storage solutions. From washable paint sheen on the walls to lightweight rustic table lamps, the space was designed to be durable, comfy and almost indestructible.
A less-is-more approach keeps this open floor plan from looking cluttered and over-furnished. Subtle plays on similar colors bring brightness to the living areas and also lend to the unity of the space.
This lovely contemporary living room features natural materials like the exposed wood ceiling beams and hardwood floor. Large windows all along the side of the space let natural light pour in.
Claire Paquin designed this walk-out basement family room to be functional for all family members: "adult" space for relaxation and "kid" space for play. The brown leather sectional provides comfortable seating, and the colorful art and area rug create a fun environment for all.
Designer Claire Paquin designed this home office to accommodate two users as well as her client's storage needs. She lined one long wall with built-in bookcases and file cabinetry, while using the other walls for built-in desks and additional cabinets. Colorful modern art and area rug complete this contemporary look.
This room is set apart by its bold artwork and colorfully vibrant floral arrangement. These bright colors pop against the backdrop of cool white chairs and ebony furnishings and flooring. The oversized lampshades give the space a mod, urban look.
This neutral living room features a suede tan sofa positioned in front of a gray stone fireplace and ivory area rug. Two windows flood the room with natural light, while a natural wood and metal staircase leads the way to the home's second floor.
A plush contemporary sectional gives this light blue space a decidedly cozy appeal, while a stylish arc floor lamp brings a bit of edge to the home's common space.
Simplicity is key in this Manhattan apartment. Designer Ken Kelly's goal on this project was to create a kitchen and living space to match the client's lifestyle. He also wanted to carry a consistent theme throughout the living spaces.
Without proper lighting, even the most stylish space isn't truly complete. Every room needs a combination of general lighting, task lighting and accent lighting to set a mood and provide sufficient illumination. Table and floor lamps, which typically fall under the task lighting category, are especially important because they play both a functional and decorative role in your home. Size, shape and style all need to be taken into account when selecting lamps to suit both your lighting needs and taste in home decor.

Description This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 10/154,945 filed on May 23, 2002 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,678,579, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein. One of the frustrations of traveling, whether for business or for pleasure, is being unable to read the home town newspaper. Even on relatively short trips, the lack of daily news can be an irritation. On longer trips, or during short-term relocations, subscriptions to magazines and other periodicals are missed, increasing the stress and loneliness of being away from home. Alternatively, a traveler may require a particular publication for business reasons, or as part of a business assignment. The traveler may be in an area where their preferred publications are simply not available. Even where copies of a desired publication are available, the traveler who already has a subscription to his or her favorite magazine may be further inconvenienced if forced to pay full price for a copy of a publication that they have already paid for. It would be significantly more convenient for travelers if a subscriber to a newspaper, magazine, or other publication could obtain a copy of that publication, or a copy of an individual article from such publications without paying the full cost of a new copy. Travelers could read their home town newspaper over breakfast, no matter how far from home they were. FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a publication-dispensing apparatus in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart depicting a method of printing a publication in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic showing the publication-dispensing apparatus of FIG. 1 in communication with a publication database via a network. An exemplary publication-dispensing apparatus in the form of a kiosk 10 is shown in FIG. 1. Kiosk 10 typically includes a chassis 17 that may house a display screen 11 and a keyboard 12. The display screen and keyboard, taken in combination, form a user interface that is in communication with a processor 18. As will be appreciated, the kiosk may further include a printer 13 for printing publications, and a dispenser 14 for dispensing such printed publications. Printer 13 typically takes the form of a printer mechanism or print engine that is capable of printing a selected publication prior to dispensation to the user. Appropriate printers include, but are not limited to, dot-matrix printers, inkjet printers, electrophotographic printers (such as laser printers), etc. The printer may be a black-and-white printer, or a color printer, and may utilize simplex or duplex printing. Printer 13 may be configured to utilize any of a variety of suitable print media, including plain paper, coated paper, glossy paper, or transparencies, among others. Alternatively, printer 13 may include multiple distinct print media, with the selection of a particular type of media depending upon the nature of the publication selected, or an expressed user preference. The print media may be stored in discrete sheets, or as a continuous roll. Dispenser 14 permits the user to take possession of the printed publication after printing, and may include, for example, a port or pass-through in chassis 17 of kiosk 10, a slot through which individual sheets may be fed, or a small chamber within kiosk 10 separated from the user and/or the interior of kiosk 10 by one or more �one-way� doors that prevent the user from accessing the interior of kiosk 10. Either printer 13, or dispenser 14, or both, may incorporate one or more additional mechanisms that are configured to sort, collate, staple, and/or bind individual printed publications before they are dispensed. In one embodiment, the form of the printed output of kiosk 10 is selected by the user via the user interface. Keyboard 12 permits the user to communicate with processor 18 in a manner that is both familiar and accessible to most users. However, a variety of additional suitable user interfaces exist for use in combination with, or in place of, the keyboard. Such additional user interfaces include, without limitation, a mouse, a trackball, a touchscreen display, a physical or wireless link to a personal digital device, a microphone (in conjunction with voice recognition software executed by the processor), etc. A flow chart depicting illustrative steps of a method of printing a publication using a publication-dispensing apparatus is shown in FIG. 2. The method typically includes receiving a signal that identifies the user, at 30, and receiving a request from the user to print a publication, at 31. The apparatus then may determine whether the user has a subscription to the requested publication, at 32, and if he/she does, may print the requested publication, at 33. The just-described method may further include receiving a payment from the user, and verifying that the payment is acceptable before printing the selected publication. Although presented in the form of a flow chart in FIG. 2, the above method is not limited to the precise steps in the particular order set out above. For example, a request to print a publication may be received before the user is identified, or a single signal may be received by the processor that identifies the user and also includes a request to print a publication. Similarly, the user may first select a publication for printing, whereupon the processor may subsequently verify that the user has a subscription to the selected publication. Alternatively, the user may first provide the processor with access to a record that includes the publications to which the user has subscribed, whereupon the processor may subsequently permit the user to select from among the user-subscribed publications for printing. The processor typically receives the signal identifying the user via the user interface. Such a signal may include entering an identifier, such as a name, in conjunction with a password or PIN number. The name and PIN number could be entered via keyboard 12, or the user's identity could be encoded on a magnetic swipe card, with corroboration of the identity accomplished by entering the PIN number via the keyboard, as is commonly performed by automated teller machines. It should be appreciated that any other suitable means of identifying the user may be utilized, including for example retina scans, fingerprint scans, keycards, digital signatures, and the like. In one embodiment, the user may provide the processor with access to a record that includes publications to which the user subscribes. The record may be a file stored on a network that is in communication with the processor, the user providing access to the record by identifying the record and/or providing a password or other means of accessing the record. Alternatively, the record may include a single publication, and have access by multiple subscribers. For example, a password identifying the user as a subscriber may be provided along with the traditional hard copy of the publication itself, so that subscribers to that issue may identify themselves as subscribers and obtain replacement or additional copies. Alternatively, the record may be a file stored in a computer-readable medium, provided by the user, and accessible to the processor via the user interface. Appropriate computer-readable media may include, without limitation, magnetic cards, portable flash memory chips, magnetic disks, optical disks, provided that the kiosk includes an appropriate media reader, exemplified in FIG. 1 by magnetic card reader 15. Appropriate media readers are herein considered an aspect of the user interface, and include without limitation, magnetic (or swipe) card readers, memory chip communication ports (such as a USB port, for example), magnetic disk drives, optical disk drives, etc. Magnetic card readers include devices that can read industry standard magnetic stripe cards. Where the record is stored on a magnetic stripe card, the card may also perform one or more functions of a debit or credit card, so as to permit the user to provide access to the subscription record and provide a payment with a single magnetic stripe card. In yet another alternative embodiment, the record may be a file stored in a personal digital assistant device 21, that is accessible to the processor via a physical or wireless connection. The processor may be configured to print the selected publication as soon as the user's subscription to the publication is verified. For example, a subscription to a particular publication may include utilization of the kiosk, so that once the processor receives the signal identifying the user, the selected publication would be provided at no additional cost. Alternatively, the processor may be configured to require payment of a fee from the user before printing the selected publication. Typically, the required fee to a subscriber to print a selected publication will be less than the fee to a non-subscribing user to print the same publication. That is, a subscription holder is provided with a copy of their selected publication at a reduced cost because they already hold a subscription to that publication. Therefore, kiosk 10 may be configured to receive a payment from the user via the user interface, and verify the payment. Verification of the payment may include verifying that the amount paid is an appropriate amount, that the payment is authentic, or that the user is authorized to make the payment. The kiosk may be configured to receive a physical payment in currency, such as via a coin slot or bill slot. In this case verifying the payment may include verifying that the amount paid is appropriate, and that the payment is made in authentic currency (i.e., not counterfeit). For example, the kiosk may incorporate one or more mechanisms capable of verifying the amount and authenticity of a payment in currency as are generally utilized in a variety of vending machines. Alternatively, the kiosk may be configured to receive and verify an electronic fund transfer, such as by a debit or ATM card transaction, as exemplified in FIG. 1 by magnetic card reader 15. In this case the user may make an appropriate payment by swiping the debit or ATM card in card reader 15, or otherwise initiating the electronic fund transfer. The electronic payment is typically enabled and/or verified by providing the processor a PIN number, password, or other authorization of payment from an electronic payment service, such as a bank account (including savings accounts, checking accounts, credit card and debit card accounts) or Internet-based electronic currency accounts. The transfer may be authorized via the user interface, or the processor may access a file containing the necessary authorization stored on a personal digital device via a physical or wireless connection. Kiosk 10 may optionally permit the user to preview the selected publication before the publication is printed, or perhaps more importantly, before payment is received from the user. Such a preview may utilize display 11 to provide a �thumbnail� image of the publication, or to display the title and/or the first paragraph of the selected publication. Previewing the selected publication may include browsing the previews of multiple selected publications before printing. In order to facilitate retrieval of selected publications, verify subscription information, and accept and verify user payments, kiosk 10 is typically in communication with a network 20 via a network connection 16, as illustrated in FIG. 1, and depicted schematically in FIG. 2. Network 20 may be a local area network (or LAN), or a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, network 20 may also provide access to subscriber information 22, which may identify the subscriptions which the user has purchased. Network 20 also provides for contact with an electronic payment service 23, as discussed above. Processor 18 of kiosk 10 may be in communication with one or more electronic databases of publications. The database of publications may be localized within the kiosk itself, such as on a CD-ROM or other storage device. Alternatively, the apparatus may be in communication with an off-site electronic database of publications, for example, via a cable connection or a wireless connection. It will be appreciated that maintaining a separate content database for each kiosk would require frequent updates of the database, either manually or remotely. Thus it may be preferable to maintain a common publication database that is shared by plural kiosks. Each processor may then be in communication with the database via a network connection. As shown in FIG. 3, one or more such common publication databases 24-26 may be in communication with kiosk 10 via network 20, each representing a different set of available publications. Alternatively, the database may include the content of relatively few publications, or only one publication, and may be made available on a computer-readable medium. For example, a magnetic card, magnetic disk, or optical disk may include an electronic version of one or more publications. The user could then provide the computer-readable medium to the apparatus and request that one or more publications stored thereon be printed. For example, a computer-readable medium may be provided with the traditional subscriber copy of the publication that includes an electronic version of that publication. The computer-readable medium supplied with a publication may also include additional content or additional publications. Publication databases 24-26 may include any of a variety of publication types, including newspapers, magazines, almanacs, dictionaries, encyclopedias, literary journals, scientific journals, etc. Processor 18, working in conjunction with at least one database 24-26, may be configured to provide for printing of a single selected issue of a magazine, newspaper, or journal. Alternatively, processor 18 and databases 24-26 may be configured to provide for printing of a single selected article, or portion of a selected magazine, newspaper, journal, etc. Utilization of the kiosk may be exemplified by the following transaction. A business traveler approaches kiosk 10, and presses a button on keyboard 12 to initiate a transaction. Processor 18 presents a message on display 11, presenting several options, including for example, a subscriber login or non-subscriber purchasing of a publication. The user selects subscriber login using keyboard 12, 15 and upon prompting by display 11, inserts an appropriate magnetic card in card reader 15. Processor 18 accesses the user's subscription information 22 via network 20, and presents a message on display 11 greeting the user and requesting a PIN number, which the user enters on keyboard 12. Processor 18 then displays the publications to which the user has a subscription. The user selects one of the publications to which the user has a subscription, using keyboard 12. Processor 18 then requests payment of a reduced subscriber fee for printing the selected news magazine. The user then swipes a debit card using card reader 15, and in response to a prompt on display 11, enters an appropriate PIN number to charge the account associated with the debit card. Processor 18 accesses the user's debit card account via an electronic payment service 23 (such as a bank) via network 20 and verifies the appropriate payment. Upon verification, processor 18 accesses electronic publication database 25, downloads the electronic copy of the selected publication, and sends it as a print job to printer 13. Upon printing the selected publication, the publication is deposited in dispenser 14, where the user can retrieve it. While the publication-dispensing apparatus has been depicted as a kiosk, the particular arrangement of processor, printer, user interface, or method of payment is a matter of choice for the skilled artisan. The apparatus is not limited to a free-standing vending machine, but may be incorporated into a wall or bulkhead. Alternatively, the user interface and dispensing mechanism may be located remotely from the processor. The present disclosure is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variances which fall within the scope of the appended claims. Patent Citations

Fairisle Sweater, Leopard Coat
sweater: H&M - pants, coat: Zara - boots: Forever21
I love leopard coats, but I've always found it hard to style them. I like them with solid outfits in black or white, but that's lazy styling ya know. I hate it when you can only wear a certain item in one particular way, makes buying it a waste of money and not really an addition to your wardrobe. But since this year, I seem to have found my way to wear leopard and really create a cohesive whole.
I mean, this outfit is probably busy as fuck to a lot of people, but I think the soft hues work together and all of the pieces give off a luxe-bohemian vibe. I could see someone like Kate Bosworth or Miranda Kerr wearing this. You can find another example of me wearing my leopard coat in a colorful outfit here, which also has some sort of luxe-boho feel. I don't know if there's any secret behind it, but my advice would be to pay more attention to the style of the outfit (i.e. luxe boho, for instance) than to the colors and whether they mesh or not.
You like?
PS: look who we ran into! Roland!
Such a cuddly sweetheart! I'll be getting ready for Christmas this weekend. Excited! You ready for Christmas or aren't you into the whole holiday? And what are your thoughts on leopard coats? :D

Ik ben het helemaal met je eens wat betreft outfits stylen, de feel en stijl moet een beetje cohesive zijn maar wat betreft de kleuren en of die al dan niet vloeken: SKREW DAT. Ik vind deze outfit prachtig trouwens, de zachte kleur van de laarsjes vooral <3 en die jas is natuurlijk fantastisch. Je bent echt een SUPER babe op de 5de foto trouwens.
