Thread: SOTD Tuesday 30th October 2012
Firstly, a huge hug and "stay safe" wishes to all of you in
the east of America. Sincerely hope Hurricane Sandy disappears
soon, leaving you all in good health with not too many problems in it's wake.
May the lights go on for you as soon as possible.
It seems frivolous to be thinking about scent this morning but I have just applied
some Ferre de Ferre and am enjoying the iris note in this one.
A woman without perfume is like a flower without a scent.

Whoa, easyfish, that is some photo! I was curious about it and learned that it is Victoire or Spirit of the Wind a glass hood ornament by Lalique. Article for others who are curious:
Well the "spirit of the wind" that was Hurricane Sandy is dying down slowly, but we still have gusts up to 40 mph so I can't let the cat out yet. He is bored but resigned.
So far we have dodged a power outage but 630,000 in CT are without power, and CT highways are still closed. My husband will have to commute today by secondary roads-- hopefully none of them are blocked by fallen trees.
SotD not chosen yet. I'm heading back to bed for a few more ZZZs.

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Thanks for the report, 30R. Continued prayers for the safety of you all people.

Hello everyone!
I'm playing piano for the tiny dancers this morning and, as I've mentioned before, they tend to notice my perfume so I like to choose something with them in mind. I think they'll like Miss Dior Chérie ...I do! ♥
Pomander, I've also been smitten with Miss Dior Le Parfum ...I think a purchase is inevitable!
Still thinking of everybody on the East Coast - y'all hang in there!
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
Staying positive and thinking good thoughts for our friends in the Eastern Seaboard.
Testing Etat Libre d'Orange Rien today. It's more incense than leather on my skin.
Do happy

No scent yet.....have Meals on Wheels deliveries to make. I don't "scent up" until after that.

Easyfish, that really is some image!
30 Roses, Im so glad you have electricity. My inlaws on Long Island are without power. Were ok here, being far enough south and inland. I didnt get much sleep either with the house rattling in the wind, however. Today is just a rainy day with a little wind. Youd never know what passed by in the middle of night. Im watching TV. OMG, NYC!
No fragrance yet for me. Im in a bit of a *thing* lately: many fragrances I used to love are obnoxious to me now. It is my hormones. I love my old Chantilly and live in that. But I will have to hunt out some new fragrances to love gentle, subtle, OLD ones. I like Calèche very much lately. I wore that when I was much younger, and Im liking that one. I have a mini of a vintage one, and I may start looking for more.
Happy Birthday to Ubu! Stop by when you can. We miss seeing you here.
Love to you all.
Happy Birthday to my fellow Hoosier, Ubu! Hope you enjoy your day!
What a mess, lower NYC, Atlantic City, the islands all flooded and power outages everywhere. But Americans are resilient, saw it here with our nasty summer storms. Clean-up is a long process (still working on it here from the last tornado) but we can do it. I'm very grateful to see some of our east coast friends checking in here, safe and sound. This has been a scary one.
The outer edge of the storm is here today- nothing big, just grey skies and sleet. 31 Rue Cambon fits the day perfectly. Hugs to everyone!
The nose wants what it wants!
Good day my loves,
I hope everyone is safe over in the US. My thoughts are with you!

((((East Coast BNers)))) -- I hope all of you came through the storm unscathed. 30R, thanks for the update! I hope experiencing the storm wasn't hard on your mom. I have friends in the Storrs area of CT and in Wilmington, DE and haven't heard anything from them yet. I'm crossing my fingers.
Twolf, congratulations! Good for you for sticking with it and seeing it through. I know how hard it is to re-immerse yourself in that experience after you believed you were done with it for good. Cheers!
I did some sampling yesterday -- a second test drive of Kilian Back to Back (similar enough to 1270 that I'll spare myself the expense) and a first drive of Frapin 1270 (WOW!!! And it's still in the final stages of drydown on the back of my hand!) and SL Fourreau Noir (I really like the top and heart of this one! Not so wild about the end of it, though. Too much immortelle.)
I'm doing more sampling today and will post later with whatever, what was the word?, skooshes? I decide to try.
I hope everyone can stay safe, warm, and dry and has a good day.
Wearing Organza Indecence.
ExtremeK, nice samples there. I wore Frapin 1270 a couple of evenings this week and it is a wonderful fragrance if you like that type. I do
Chanel Bois d'Iles today!
Happy Birthday to our Ubu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you check in soon!
Yay, ExtremeK, I think it is either Eald Englisc or Foustie has just invented it to make us grin.

However, wind speeds are generally below 40 mph now, which will allow repair crews to safely use the buckets to fix lines. Mom wasn't fazed-- I rather think she enjoyed the excitement. The cat went out finally but seems to prefer to be indoors with us.
((Lilybelle)) I slept like a log the last 2 nights! I think I've finally caught up on lost sleep.
I am wearing 2 Demeter scents layered: Pineapple and Gingerale-- but Gingerale is longer lasting, so that is mostly what's left now.
And just now we got an automated message that school will be closed 2 more days-- water got into the high school through roof damage and more time is needed for clean up! My daughter is ecstatic.

by Kilian Pure Oud. The travel atomizer containing it leaked and the scent is permeating my perfume cabinet, tempting me every time it's opened. Today is the day.
Yesterday I wore Guerlain Attrape Coeur.
Wearing Estee Lauder Knowing for the rest of the afternoon.
Have a good evening, everyone!
Thinking about all those affected by hurricane Sandy. Hope we, as a society, can at least learn more about preparedness and recovery strategies from this brutal lesson.
Haven't craved wearing a scent for a few days. Just showered, so I should apply sumthin'. Hmmmm. Touch of Boucheron perhaps.
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
Well our power went out at 3:45! I'm using the computers at my mother's residence and boy, are they slow!
I won't be on BN again until tomorrow afternoon, when I have to come to take Mom to her PT appointment-- unless power goes on again. Take care everyone!

Amouage Honour woman for me today - stay dry!
That's great, 30 Roses. I'm still waiting to get news of a few people, but I'm pretty sure they are without power but otherwise ok.
I'm wearing some vintage l'Air du Temps parfum this evening, inspired by LiliB's thread. It is missing something in the top notes, but still smells great. In my experience the edt doesn't age, but Mike said his is good, so maybe I just haven't had much luck finding intact vintage edt.
I hope everyone came through the winds OK and that the power gets back on...We know about hurricanes here, but at least in FL if your house gets knocked down you don't freeze. That just sucks.
Today wore Un Jardin Sur la Toit and it is still going strong over 12 hours later
Thanks for that link, 30R! I'm glad your power came back on so quickly. I'm more glad you're sleeping well.
Work was absolutely bonkers today. My goodness. I'm wiped out -- but not done yet. I'm taking a quick break for a walk outside to clear my head and so decided to finally sample something today. I have skoosh of Ava Luxe Madeline on the left wrist and AL No. 23 on the right hand. (Lol, Twolf! )
This is my first experience with Ava Luxe ... and my goodness! I really, really like both of these. Especially No. 23. It has the beautiful sandalwood and incense of my beloved Tam Dao with some lovely florals. But No. 23 seems cooler than Tam Dao ... the geranium, maybe? Regardless, I *really* like it. I need to do some more sniffing on Madeline, though, to figure out that one.
Vintage My Sin - so comforting with all this crazy weather. Be safe everyone!

30R - glad you and your Mom are OK in CT (my home state!) Things are OK here in the Boston area. We had awful wids and rain last night, and some brief thunder and lightening tonight... but no real damage or inconvenience in my neck of the woods, but many elsewhere in MA are without roofs and power. Sending healing vibes to those impacted by Sandy (especially all of those evacuated New Yorkers!!!!).
Feeling wonderful in my new purchase of Miss Dior Le Parfum (winking at Evangeline!)

Sprayed Beyond Love on the other side without reading the notes. Blech! I hate tuberose! LOL.

Q & A: Prison realignment
Part of the local plan involves using existing methods for gauging a person's risk to determine how each offender will be supervised. Most are expected to pose a high-risk of committing more crimes and some may have been convicted of a violent felony in the past.
Chief Probation Officer Mack Jenkins has created a division to handle the workload. So far, he has selected a director and supervisor and promoted five probation officers. The division is expected to grow to 90 sworn officers and 17 support staff members.
Q: What's the effect on county jails?
A: The Sheriff's Department, which operates the jails, can expect to see at least 2,000 offenders sentenced to jail within the next few years, according to state estimates.
About 4,600 inmates are currently in the county's seven jails, with 62 to 65 percent awaiting trial. The jail population is expected to increase by at least 160 inmates a month initially, and the jails could reach capacity within eight months without the use of custody alternatives, such as house arrest, work furlough and GPS tracking.
There is no cap on the maximum term a sentenced felon could spend in county jail.
The county also could contract with the state to house some felony offenders who would otherwise be eligible to serve their time in county jail, which could prompt legal challenges.
Q: How will the plan be rolled out to shift inmates to counties?
A: The state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has notified most counties, including San Diego, as to which offenders will be released from prison and returned for local supervision over at least the next three months. Just under 270 are expected to return to San Diego in October, followed by 233 in November and 255 in December.
Q: Who came up with the local plan?
A: Jenkins served as chairman of the executive committee that put together the plan approved Tuesday by the county Board of Supervisors. Other committee members are Sheriff Bill Gore, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, Public Defender Henry Coker, Heath and Human Services Agency Director Nick Macchione, Oceanside Police Chief Frank McCoy and San Diego Superior Court Judge David Danielsen.

B.B. King Blues Club & Grill
237 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036Map
+1 212 997 4144
email: email@example.com
Neighborhood: Times Square/Theatre District/Midtown
B.B. King Blues serves native New York fare with a hint of the South. Savor delicacies like southern style grits, chicken jambalaya, Louisiana Cajun spiced popcorn shrimp and Beale Street linguini. This place is dedicated to Blues and its fans. Past performers include Erykah Badu, B.B. King and Etta James. The ambiance is akin to the constant thrum and hubbub of the very lively, fast paced New York City. Be warned, you're likely to get hooked to the eclectic music and mouthwatering cuisine.

This is a great spot to hear live music from different and fun bands. The venue is small and intimate. They feature a lot of cover bands that are surprisingly talented and a lot of fun. The food is mediocre but they have a full bar with reasonable prices (for NYC). The Sunday Gospel Brunch is something that everyone should do at least once.... Read More

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan who was awarded the prestigious Padma Shri award from the Indian government in 2010 for contributions in the field of art, is back in the midst of controversy. On March 14 this year, RTI activist SC Agrawal had filed a complaint with the Union Home Ministry demanding that Saif be stripped of the award for assaulting customers at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai in 2012. On August 6, 2014, reports came in that the government was considering stripping Khan of the award.
In the 2012 incident in question, Khan was reportedly dining with actresses Amrita Arora, Kareena Kapoor and friends at the Wasabi Restaurant in the Taj Hotel when guests at the nearby table complained that they were creating a din. Though the restaurant management requested Khan to calm down, he apparently did not accede to the request and allegedly assaulted the complainants Iqbal Sharma, a South African businessman and an elderly man. Khan was arrested under Section 325 of the Indian Penal Code but was released on a surety of Rs 3000. Khan claimed that he had acted in self-defence and filed a case leveling counter allegations, which was not accepted by the Mumbai Police. Subsequently though, a Mumbai court framed charges against Khan on March 13, 2014 and issued summons on July 18, 2014.
This is not the first time the actor has courted controversy. Khan has several criminal cases against him, particularly for assault.
1) In 1994, Saif allegedly bashed up Kanan Divecha, the assistant editor of film magazine Star and Style, after the magazine published an article about Saif's then wife Amrita Singh's alleged affair with a top film star. After much dilly-dallying by the Mumbai police, the High Court ordered Saif and Amrita Singh to settle the issue with the magazine out of court, and apologise, which they did in 1999.
2) In 1995, gay rights activist Ashok Row Kavi claimed that Saif Ali Khan beat him up inside his house in Santacruz in 1995. Kavi claimed that Saif Ali Khan assaulted his mother too, who fell down from his attack. The issue, according to Kavi, was that the magazine Bombay Dost had reviewed the movie Main Khiladi Tu Anadi calling it a gay movie. The magazine had also reportedly mocked Saif's mother Sharmila Tagore.
3) In 1998, Khan was charged with poaching two black bucks in Kankani during the filming of the movie Hum Saath Saath Hain along with co-stars Salman Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam. A lower court charged him including the others under the Wildlife Act and the Indian Penal Code. Thereafter, Saif filed a revision petition before a sessions court, which soon discharged him of Section 51 (causing harm to wildlife) of Wildlife Act, Section 147 (punishment for rioting) and 149 (unlawful assembly of persons) of the Indian Penal Code.
The Rajasthan state government then filed a revision petition before the Rajasthan high court which again added Section 149 against Khan. The Jodhpur court summoned him along with all the accused for commencement of the trial with the revised charges in February 2013.
4) In 2008, while filming for the Bollywood movie Love Aaj Kal, Khan allegedly assaulted a photographer named Pawan Sharma at Patiala railway station.
5) In March 2013, Saif Ali Khan was again in the news for assault. Reportedly, Saif was asked to vacate the VIP lounge of the Chowdhary Charan Singh airport in Lucknow as he was not entitled to the facilities. Saif allegedly refused to follow the instructions and started arguing. This reportedly led to a bitter fight with the security guards. The brawl came to an end with the intervention of senior officials of the airport.

The constant cheers emanating from Centre Court vied, with increasing success, for the attention of the smattering of a crowd that had turned up to watch the doubles matches at the outer courts.
A reminder of what they were missing out on; each time the crowds affirmation of play from the Marin Cilic-Marcel Granollers match rent the air, the scattered doubles aficionados let their eyes stare into space, in the general direction of the cheers, trying to divine which party had the upper hand.
Their task, with the match at hand, where Rajeev Ram and Eric Butorac were getting their title defence started, was less demanding on their extra sensory perception. The American pair got off to a bright start when they nailed the first set with a convincing 6-3 score line.
Up a break in the second, the lanky Eric Butorac, who bore an uncanny resemblance to a Paul Scholes reflecting in the hall of mirrors, misjudged a few shots. The momentum changed hands, as easily as a suitcase of contraband in the depths of a ghetto.
The Swedish pair of Stanislas Warwikna and Yves Allegro had probably lost their supporters within the labyrinthine entrance gates to the match at the centre court, for in the middle of a well contested first set between Cilic and Granollers, a kite with the Swedish national flag fluttered gently by, settling on the side of the courts.
The few that did make it, however, had reason to cheer. The increased player density that doubles play offers, and the corresponding abundance of decisive shot-making opportunity kept the meagre crowd entertained for the hour or so the match lasted.
The Swiss pair called all the shots in the super tiebreak to finish off the contest. The status of a native that the crowd and the media had unconditionally accorded Rajeev Ram called for the descent of gloom, and it came down but for a few minutes as the merry fair moved on to the centre court, where Somdev warmed up for his match.

Polygonal Fractures on Tycho Ejecta Deposits
December 7, 2012
Tycho is a young and prominent rayed crater on the lunar nearside. During the impact that formed Tycho crater a large mass of impact melt was thrown out on its north side that resulted in a series of beautiful flow patterns. The melt ponded in several topographic lows, and as they cooled their upper crusts fractured, often in polygonal patterns. Today's featured image shows a set of crisply preserved polygonal fractures. Small chains of pit chains are also seen in conjunction with the fractures. Are these pits nascent fractures that never fully developed? Or perhaps partially collapsed tubes that melt flowed through? If the latter, might there be open passages that astronauts could venture into and explore? Polygonal fractures on a flow lobe of impact melt splashed out of Tycho crater. Image scale is 0.52 meters/pixel, incidence angle is 69.1°, sunlight is from left [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

Love This Chair
March 10, 2012
Recently asembled - I had a moment of regret at 1st, but once I determined how to change the seat tilt, I was very happy. The seat cushion is thick and soft, and the contour fits my bottom perfectly. The adjustment levers are positioned for easy access. The back position stays where you put it and the back height is perfect for my short stature. The armrests are comfy and height/width adjustable too. My only issue was with the shipping (box was badly battered) and formaldehyde like smell of the chair. I'm sure the smell will diminish over time. I could sit and watch movies on my computer all night and be as comfortable as can be. I am VERY HAPPY with my purchase!!

Where to get cheap tickets?
I am planning my first trip to Roland Garros this year. I think i will fly from Cologne to Paris. This is pretty cheap.
Do you guys can give me information on tickets and cheap hotels/hostels in the area?
I am planning to land in Paris on the first Thursday morning.
We want to have ground tickets for Thursday and Friday and maybe Suzanne Lenglen tickets for saturday and Centre court tickets for sunday.
My coach said to just go there and buy tickets there on the street. And if it's afternoon ask leaving people from the centre court to give their tickets to me
pretty harsh but he said this.

Past Events
Fall Weekend 2014
This year's Fall Alumni Weekend commenced with our first ever joint meeting of the Medical Alumni Council and National Loyalty Fund Committee at the NC Cancer Hospital. We introduced the new staff members at the Medical Foundation of NC and presented informative talks by Dean Roper as well as some of our best and brightest medical students. Friday's big event was the always memorable Alumni Reception and Dinner at the Rizzo Center. One of the highlights of the evening was a high-energy performance by the School of Medicine's own a capella group, the MedUNCedoos. Our centerpiece speaker of the evening, current medical student and Loyalty Fund scholar Alisa Eanes, gave an emotional speech about the impact alumni support has had on her life and medical school experience. To top it off, the UNC Tar Heels were victorious at home with a 48-43 victory over Georgia Tech!
Spring Weekend 2014
Thanks to our wonderful alumni for their attendance and generous gifts during this year's Spring Alumni Weekend. It was a great night in a new location for our banquet with some excellent speeches from our new Distinguished Service, Faculty and Medical Alumni Award winners. The members of the Class of 1964 arrived in great numbers to celebrate their 50 year reunion, and even the classes of 1954 and 1959 were in town to have a great dinner at the Siena Hotel. Meanwhile, all of our other great reunion classes enjoyed a tasty buffet dinner and good company Saturday night. We look forward to seeing everyone at our next alumni event!
Events are held throughout the year, but in case you missed one of our events, we publish a short summary of our most recent events for review. Thanks to all who attended and will attend in the future!

CHURUBUSCO — Churubusco's boys tennis team dropped a home contest to Fort Wayne Northrop Wednesday.
The visiting Bruins beat the Eagles 4-0.
In No. 1 singles, 'Busco junior Luke Lillmars lost to Northrop's Alex Stavretis in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0.
At No. 2 singles, Eagle junior Landon Lillmars dropped a straight-set match to Mike Ankenbruck, 6-2, 6-1.
In No. 3 singles, Churubusco's Cody Luttman fell in a straight-set match to Gavin Neyman by a final of 6-2, 7-5.
SYRACUSE — Whitko's girls soccer team traveled to Wawasee Wednesday and downed the Lady Warriors by a 2-0 score.
Freshman Kaitlin Whitaker knocked in the first goal for the Lady Wildcats, putting Whitko ahead 1-0 going into the second half.
Senior Ellyana Blue, who had six shots on goal, scored the Lady 'Cats' second goal to give Whitko the 2-0 win.
SOUTH WHITLEY — After starting 2013 0-2, Whitko's football team found the win column last week by defeating Southwood.
Now, the Wildcats are looking to make it a winning streak against Manchester this week.
With conference play now in full swing, Whitko welcomes Three Rivers Conference-rival Manchester to South Whitley for its home opener.
Through a scheduling quirk, the Wildcats played their first three games of the year on the road.
But Whitko will be home more often than not the rest of the way, as four of the final six contests will be at home.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City earned a win in its football conference opener last week against Bellmont.
Now, the Eagles, who are 2-1, have to face the team that has dominated the Northeast Hoosier Conference for the past few seasons when they travel to Homestead.
The 3-0 Spartans have either tied for first or finished first in the conference every year since 2007.
Last week, Columbia City opened its conference schedule with a 41-28 win over Bellmont. Homestead beat East Noble, 17-14 last week.
The Eagles fell to the Spartans in 2012, 41-6.
CHURUBUSCO — It is homecoming week for Smith-Green Community Schools, and the Churubusco football team hopes to keep its perfect record intact Friday.
Eastside will be visiting the Eagles in a game that kicks off at 7 p.m. The Blazers carry a 1-2 record into the contest.
The Eagles have a perfect 3-0 record and are also unbeaten in the NECC. For the season, 'Busco has only allowed six total points in three games.
Last week, the Eagles hit the road and beat Prairie Heights 34-0. Eastside lost last week to Angola, 28-14.

ConcertinaXL - 30-Button C/G Anglo Concertina for the iPad
By Michael Eskin
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
ConcertinaXL is an authentic sounding 30-button Jeffries-style C/G Anglo Concertina. It is played using the exact same fingerings as the real instrument.
Anglo concertinas are commonly used for playing traditional Irish dance tunes, and is a much-favored instrument in County Clare, Ireland.
The Anglo concertina is bisonoric, meaning the instrument plays a different note for each button depending on whether you are pushing or pulling on the bellows.
ConcertinaXL is the perfect app for someone interested in the Anglo Concertina to have an experience of playing the instrument and become familiar with the button layout without the expense of purchasing a real concertina.
For experienced players, it can serve as a practice aid when it might be impractical to play the real instrument.
To get started, make sure that the orientation lock switch on your iPad (just above the volume controls on the side) is in the off position, then rotate the iPad to landscape orientation to play.
In the app, to play, place the iPad on your leg and simply tip the iPad to the left for a bellows push note, or to the right for a bellows pull note, and press a button.
The Blue/Red display on the top of the screen shows which direction the bellows is moving. Blue on the left represents PUSH, Blue on the right represents PULL.
You may reverse the bellows while pushing a button simply by tipping in the opposite direction.
Touch the diamond area at the center bottom of the screen for tremolo effects. The higher up on the diamond, the greater the effect.
Multiple buttons may be pressed at the same time to play chords.
Touch the "?" on the upper left corner to show/hide the button note names. The note names track the push/pull tilt.
Touch the "i" on the upper right corner to show/hide the tilt sensitivity and reverb controls.
All settings are saved when the app exits.
The button layout and spacing on the iPad screen exactly matches a real 30-button Jeffries-style Anglo Concertina.
Up to 5 buttons may be pressed at the same time to make chords.
Uses extremely high-quality per-button audio samples recorded from my personal concertina collection.
Please visit the app website for more information about playing the Anglo concertina.
Q: The sound stops when I put four fingers on the screen.
A: Go into the iPad Settings app, and disable the "Multitasking Gestures" feature. This feature creates issues for all apps like mine that use more than 3 fingers on the screen at a time.
Q: I'm not hearing any sound, help!
A: Make sure that the mute switch on your device is turned off.
What's New in Version 3.0
Improved sound quality, added optional reverb.
Simplified and refined user interface.
Touch the "?" on the upper left corner to show/hide the button note names.
Touch the "i" on the upper right corner to show/hide the tilt sensitivity and reverb controls.
Removed the Uilleann pipes drones feature. It's a concertina. :-)

During the new year of 2013, I have released a PSD template for wireframe/mock up screen flow, which I hope can help a little bit in creating an app screen flow easily in digital format. And today, considering there are still many people love to do sketching for wireframe/mock up, I have created a Printable A4 Screen Flow Sketch Template in PDF Format, so you can easily sketch the screen flow on the paper, and because each screen is considerably small, you only need to focus on the main interaction area for the flow, so details are not needed.

Alan Cutter | March 20, 2014 | Comments
A look at the future of wearable devices, with a focus on what was showcased at this year's South By Southwest Interactive festival and what these new products mean for marketers.
This morning I had two minutes to buy a transit ticket using a touchscreen ticket machine. Usually, that's not a big deal. But in 24-degree weather, it proved very tricky. I quickly got through most of the screens but my fingers were just too cold for that last screen. With the train racing toward the stop, a "smart" person understood the problem, took their hand out of their warm pocket, and quickly helped me finish the last digit of my zip.
Lucky for me there was that smart person. Imagine if I had a wearable device for all of these outside activities? Well, here is a list of some and where the future lies...
1. Nanotips. It's a new liquid that uses conductive nanoparticles to mimic the electric conductivity of human skin. Due to the liquid nature, you can use any pair of gloves on your touchscreen. Using an easy applicator, you swipe it on the thumb and forefinger of the glove. It lasts for a few weeks but is supposedly easy to re-apply.
The founder sees applications way beyond cold winters. Sporting gloves, military gloves, construction gloves, and even thick ski gloves can be made touchscreen compatible. Yes, there are other touchscreen gloves on the market. But most of them trade off warmth for functionality. On that 24-degree railroad platform, they wouldn't cut it.
2. At South By Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) last week, one of the hot wearable tech gizmos was Logbar, a silver finger ring with Bluetooth capabilities. It uses your finger gestures as the ultimate remote control devices for smart devices. Imagine writing letters in the air to text, or drawing a camera to open your connected phone's camera. You can customize the ring to recognize your gestures. It's a magic wand — and responds to you through LEDs and alerts.
One unique feature is that it will control smart household appliances, not just smartphone-enabled apps. While it can't open the fridge and get you a beer, it can control TV lights, and temperature. Integrate with iBeacon, and you can make payments with just a gesture.
Logbar's chief executive Takuro Yoshida exhibited it at SXSWi and it was the talk of the town. A winner of the TechCrunch Tokyo Startup Battle in 2013, it already surpassed its fundraising goal on Kickstarter and is scheduled for release this summer.
3. Nymi is one of the best things I've see to authenticate your identity. It makes passwords and PINs passé. Nymi uses your cardiac rhythm as a unique biometric, so the bracelet knows who you are. (Their slogan? "Put Your Heart Into It") Part of the SXSWi Accelerator program, Nymi is from the Toronto-based Bionym and will retail for $99. It took SXSW by storm and thousands of pre-orders have already been received. People are seeing it as a secure, mobile wallet, the Holy Grail for some.
4. Speaking of biometrics, let's not forget Apple TouchID. More than just a fingerprint scanner, the recent patent filing by Apple covers using your eyes and even your voice as an authentication method. Imagine transferring data by secure voice control or fingerprint scanner from your iPhone to your desktop. Like Nymi, it avoids the messy passwords situations. Apple has been focused on the wireless data transfer aspects, to give Dropbox a run for its money.
5. So where's Goliath, I mean Google, in all this? Google announced at SXSW that it will be releasing free Android-based software tools to promote the development of cutting-edge wearable tech devices. Google hopes the free software release will spur the invention of new devices. Yes, Google Glass and the planned smartwatch are coming but that is just the start. Opening up its Android software tools, which power more of the world's smartphones than anything else, will throw open the marketplace. Google wants to go beyond the early adopters to the mainstream. And with billions of Android users, that's a mass market.
6. All these wearable tools are great but they still need battery life and an Internet connection. Already being showcased are purses and jackets that charge your phone. The full-size purse shown at SXSWi uses MIT fuel cell technology and can charge your phone or tablet 14 times. There is also clothing with built-in solar panels to charge your phone. One of the cooler things I heard about was a quilted jumpsuit that connects to GPS and Internet, and can function as a Wi-Fi spot for other nearby devices. James Bond, meet the Matrix.
Wearable tech is more than just a Fitbit and Google Glass. While this column has focused on wearables from the individual consumer point of view, one can easily see potential applications in the marketing arena. As all of our personal devices, from TVs to tablets, become more mobile and more customized, it provides much more specific data for marketers. It allows you to be even more specific in your campaign targeting. Fitting an ad on a 2-inch smartwatch screen will be a challenge. Let's see what new ways develop.

Food Review: Mango Menu at Zen Café
By Zahra Motorwala, Team iDiva | posted May 6th 2014 at 6:43PM
What's hot:
The Mango pickled Kathi roll is a must try.
What's not:
You can give the desserts a miss since they lack innovation and creativity.
iDiva verdict:
Caramalised mango fajitas at Zen cafe

Now who can refuse a treat like that? Our hunger starved souls could not ask for more.
Situated inside a large furniture store, Zen café can be missed easily but once you are inside the cozy café it proves to be just like its name suggests – a state of Zen or calm!
The initial awkwardness ended with the comfortable large sofas and relaxing, casual appeal of the café and soon the soothing music cheered us up. We were all geared up for the most important thing – Mangolicious delights!
The menu read out a quote by Mirza galib, "Aam khoob ho, aur meethe ho" which I found quite interesting. I realised that a lot of research had gone into the menu and was excited to have a bite of it.
We started with the iced mango tea which was basically cold tea that was flavoured with raw mango pieces followed by the raw mango juice with mint. This beverage reminded us of the classic homemade aam panna but a more chilled icy form served in a salt rimmed glass. And because we are ardent mango fans we could not resist their mango smoothie which turned out to be quite a disappointment.
Next came the sweet and spicy mango salsa with chips which was basically a mango chutney made out of mango pieces that were spiced with chaat masala. An impressive starter, the chips and mango combo raised our expectations and we soon moved onto the other dishes. The caramelized fajita and the Mango-Pickled Kathi Roll followed.
Mango-Pickled Kathi Rolls was delicious. Cooked in Indian spices the mango pickle filling was scrumptious. The mango flavouring was well incorporated without overpowering the taste of other spices and made for a filling meal.
We ended our mango trail with two signature desserts – the Almond Ricotto Mango Cheesecake and the Alphonso with vanilla ice cream in a tart shell. The cheesecake was soft and tasted well specially after an extended round of mango stuffed dishes but the mango in a tart shell was nothing exclusive and failed to impress us.

The Park Hill Community Bookstore is not much to look at, its three tightly packed floors of shelves crammed with 30,000 volumes, the bulk of them used.
And its business plan — a not-for- profit collective supported by 500 members, 50 volunteers and one paid staffer — isn't what ambitious MBA candidates at Wharton fantasize about.
Yet the bookstore is thriving at a time when once-booming corporate models such as Borders have closed like unread copies of "Anna Karenina."
Nestled in a stretch of small shops at 4620 E. 23rd Ave., the store celebrates its 40th birthday on Friday with a party at the nearby St. Thomas Episcopal Church.
Quite an accomplishment for a business that began in a basement.
"It was 1971, and a group of mainly Park Hill women decided they wanted a place to meet to discuss issues of the day — Vietnam, civil rights, women's issues," says Mike Stickney, who has managed the store for nine years. "That's one version of the story.
"But one of the founders told me, 'Nah, we just wanted a place to get out of the house and away from our kids.' "
That basement room where it all started is now packed with bookshelves: history, philosophy, religion, literature.
Memberships aren't expensive. Forty bucks will buy you a sustaining membership, plus 10 credits toward books, and seniors and students pay just $10. Many of the books are donated by neighborhood residents who are downsizing their libraries.
"We actually get some interesting books that way, even though we can't afford a lot of inventory," Stickney says.
Still, they have 30,000 books in the store, about two-thirds of them used. Volunteers swing by to sort titles, log them into the computer and price them. Hardbacks go for $4.
"And a volunteer runs the vacuum over the carpet on occasion," Stickney says. "Some of them have been here more than 30 years. People tend to stay on."
The store publishes a quarterly newsletter, "Footnotes."
"It really has been a remarkable run, and I don't know if you could do it in another neighborhood," says Barbara Charnes, who lives a few blocks away and is one of 10 charter members. (For the record, three of them were men.) "We're an oddly homogenous neighborhood, with racial diversity. People who live here have made a commitment to be here.
"It's a community gathering place to pull people in and talk with each other."
While the store carries some of the ancillary products found in larger commercial shops, such as greeting cards, it's not chockablock with reading tables and overstuffed armchairs. A sign on the wall offers this plea to visitors: "Please Don't Rearrange Books."
Merchandise runs the gamut. You'll find an "Idiot's Guide to Fitness" just a few shelves over from "The Portable James Joyce (The Viking Portable Library)." On one yellow basement wall, there's a collection of first lines from novels such as Annie Proulx's "The Shipping News" and J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Fellowship of the Ring," inscribed in Magic Marker.
"People will bring in a big box of books and walk out with another big box of books," Stickney says.
When the store finds itself with a stack of duplicate copies, it will donate them to another not-for-profit, such as a school or prison. The shop sent books to New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
At 67, Stickney, an English major when he attended Knox College in Illinois, remains an avid bibliophile.
"I read most anything," he says. "Lots of mysteries. I read poetry: Burns, Wordsworth. Last week I read 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.' "
Come Friday, friends of the store will gather for a party at St. Thomas, just a few blocks away at East 22nd Avenue and Dexter Street. No word on whether a member of the clergy will say a prayer for the beleaguered publishing industry, but former Denver Post columnist Dick Kreck is slated to speak.
Surrounded by all those books, Stickney recalled what a former professor told him about the pursuit of literature and the pleasures of reading.
"He told me, 'The reason you're doing all this is that it'll make you a better companion to yourself.' "

Halliday still taking most reps
FROM PULLMAN — If we had to guess who Washington State's starting quarterback will be on Saturday, we'd feel at least semi-comfortable saying …
It'll probably be Connor Halliday. Based on the amount of reps he's received with the No. 1 offense, that's probably the safe bet. Then again, coach Mike Leach isn't saying either way, so there's always that element of surprise, as he likes to say.
But Halliday again saw most of the time with the first-team offense today during 7-on-7, scout work and a brief session against the No. 1 defense, too. Jeff Tuel continues to wear a knee brace and got some snaps, too, but not nearly as many as Halliday.
Leach said he feels good about both quarterbacks, but asked about Halliday, he said: "He looks better than he did last week. Steadily improved, pretty good from the neck up as far as looking at stuff, analyzing it."
And his reads?
"They've been good," Leach said. "They're getting quicker all the time."
"Everybody, if you put them on the board, 'what do I do here? I do this, I do this, I look here, I look here.' They can all do that. You're not going to stump them on that, but just being able to do it quickly, doing all of it as quickly as possible. It's like we started off kind of in a walk then we're jogging now we're a little faster. So just get faster."
… Dan Spitz was again absent from practice, as was OL Niu Sale for the second consecutive day. Leach said the reason for Sale's absence was guarded by the same snakes and whatnot that he referenced during the spring, then said Sale was in study hall. … Leach said he liked his team's energy on Wednesday but there were too many dropped passes, which led to the outside receivers performing a series of up-downs later in practice. They did not appear too pleased about that. Some offensive linemen were also put through a series of extra conditioning after practice, including Leach's famed "rolling" exercise and some work in the sand pit. … Mansel Simmons was without pads and didn't participate. DL Destiny Vaeao was limited but was without a walking boot.

With the way technology has advanced today you can do a lot more things easier. Designing your home has been made much easier than ever before. Do you need some advice? This article will guide you through the interior design process.
A great interior design tip is to start investing in good art. You may not have considered art before, or may not care for it. However, one good painting or print can really pull a room together. Choosing a nice painting offers you a good starting point.
While you want a home office space to look good, it also needs to be highly functional. Good lighting is critical to any workspace, and the desk and chair must be comfortable as well. Even though the space needs to be one conducive to working, it should also be visually pleasing.
If you are looking to save costs when designing, mass merchants may have equivalents to the items you desire. Designer pieces are extremely expensive and are not worth the cost for most people. The only time to choose designer goods is if you can't find what you're looking for through any other avenue.
You are going to have to purchase some paint when redesigning your home. Therefore, since you will have to purchase it, you should make sure you buy the highest quality of paint possible to ensure your home looks as good as possible. Low-quality paints wear easily and can cause damage to walls, creating the need to paint more often. Invest in more expensive paint to add longevity.
When you are decorating a wall with artwork, you should hang it at the level of your eye for the best effect. Hanging art in the wrong places can cause your guests to strain their necks.
A new looking kitchen might be just some new cabinet doors away. You should use glass doors vs traditional wooden doors so you can make your kitchen brighter and open up your space. Give your room added visual appeal with interesting accent items in one or two cabinets.
vach tam dung The placement of mirrors on a wall that is opposite of windows can brighten up a room. A large mirror reflects and spreads out the light coming from the window. This will make your dull, dark room brighter.
vach kinh phong tam Don't rush through the wall paint color selection process. Taking your time can save you from making a rash decision you will have to live with. You should try out some samples and paint them, and then give it some time. Get an idea of how the different samples appear in different types of light. You might find that you do not like the color as much now as you did before.
If you have many things in the room already, avoid using too much stuff on your walls. Some people choose to keep more items than others. If you have a lot of sentimental items or collectibles, and don't want to put them in storage, leave your walls plain. Otherwise, your home will seem too cluttered.
Mirrors are a great way for you to increase the perceived size of a room. Mirrors make a room appear larger than it is, which should help make the room look better. Invest in a beautiful mirror to facilitate your interior design project.
This article has provided you with the best ways to make your home's interior design fabulous. Based on what has been provided here, make the most of the information that has been provided when you start your next home design project.

BIG SUR, Calif. —When four twentysomething women are silent in a car, you know something is up.
Or down. Or in this case, both, in the form of hundred-foot rocky cliffs that dropped off sharply to our left, plummeting to meet the aquamarine Pacific Ocean, and the scrub-covered Santa Lucia Mountains rising to our right.
One of the country's most famous scenic drives, California State Route 1 runs along the Pacific Coast from Dana Point in Orange County to Leggett.
The heart of the road's beauty comes in a 90-mile stretch through central California known as Big Sur. Low on development and big on breathtaking views, the route was designated as the Pacific Coast Highway in 1968 and has been drawing tourists ever since.
Many opt to begin the popular road trip in the north and travel south, but our plan was to begin near San Diego, where three of us from Milwaukee met up with a friend living in La Jolla on the Fourth of July.
Four perfectly sunny days, three beaches, two breweries and one stingray sting later and we set off for a three-day trip up the coast.
Day 1: San Diego to San Luis Obispo
Carefully packed into our rented Chevy Malibu, we opted for a quick jaunt up to Los Angeles along Interstate 5 before officially beginning the scenic drive.
We rolled into Los Angeles along Highway 101 blasting Katy Perry's "California Gurls" and unabashedly perusing a giant Hollywood star locator map if we were going to be tourists, we might as well embrace it.
After a quick stroll down the Hollywood Walk of Fame and obligatory photos in front of the TCL Chinese Theatre, we made our way into the Hollywood Hills along Mulholland Drive for views of the Hollywood sign and the surrounding valley.
We trailed a few tour buses the same ones that hawked their celebrity sightseeing trips up and down Hollywood Blvd. but our giant map and own musings (is that Bruce Willis in front of us?) were enough entertainment.
Back in the valley, we refueled at Mel's Drive-In along the Sunset Strip before making our way alongside the Bentleys and Benzes on Santa Monica Blvd. to the ocean and the start of our Pacific Coast journey.
We turned north onto Highway 1 and drove past the long, white sandy beaches through Malibu we somehow missed the joke of driving a Malibu through Malibu before veering slightly inland at Oxnard and joining up with Highway 101 for a stretch up to Santa Barbara.
A short trip off the highway brought us to the Old Mission Santa Barbara, also known as the Queen of Missions.
Perched on a hill with views extending to the ocean, the mission was founded in 1786 and is still home to a community of Franciscan friars and an active parish. The church was reconstructed following the 1812 earthquake, but statues inside date back to the 1790s. Outside, the museum's expansive Huerta Historic Garden contains plantings representative of the mission era.
About 30 miles north of Santa Barbara, the PCH veers inland and weaves through the rolling hills around Lompoc. We passed cattle grazing the gray-brown hillsides, evidence of one of the most severe droughts in California's history.
At San Luis Obispo the sun that had been our constant companion since San Diego gave way to clouds, mist and much cooler temperatures. We turned west toward the coast again and Montana de Oro State Park, our pit stop for the night.
The park gets its name from golden wildflowers that bloom in the spring, which were gone by the time we visited in July. We instead soaked up the misty views of the ocean and a long sand spit covered in windswept dunes that separates Morro Bay from the Pacific Ocean to the north.

Right-Wing French Candidate Looks to Climb
And Israel becomes a part of the patrie, for voting purposes
As April's French presidential elections slowly approach, Front National standard-bearer Marine Le Pen is in a close third, with 18 percent, to President Nicolas Sarkozy's 23 percent and Socialist candidate Francois Hollande's 29 percent. In other words, we could be headed for a situation similar to the elections 10 years ago, in which incumbent Jacques Chirac failed to get enough votes to wrap it up in the first round and second places when to Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine's father, a Front National founder and honest-to-God Holocaust denier (whom Chirac proceeded to crush).
As Robert Zaretsky has reported in Tablet Magazine, Le Pen fille has genuinely changed the party and has even leveraged its xenophobic, anti-Islamic platform to appeal to Jews. More than that: Her deputy, Louis Aliot, last month traveled to Israel in order to try to drum up support among Israeli residents enfranchised in France for the elections. (Israel may be even more consequential to the French parliament, the National Assembly: The brand-new eighth constituency—one of 11 overseas French constituencies—includes only eight countries, one of which is Israel, whose more than 70,000 eligible voters make up roughly half the entire constituency's franchise.)
But the FN is still the FN. Marine Le Pen has been on the defensive because daddy was interviewed on television about a notorious 1987 interview in which he questioned the Shoah—and he responded by blaming CRIF, the Jewish community's official spokesperson to the government, for distorting his words. Old soldiers never die.

(Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
The Patriots took their first step towards Super Bowl XLVII on Thursday as they opened training camp for the 2012 season at Gillette Stadium. Over 12,000 fans were reportedly on hand to watch Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Co. begin official preparations for the upcoming season. Wes Welker was also there, and though the wide receiver was not able to come to terms with the team on a long-term contract extension, he did sign his franchise tender and will make $9.5 million this season. Two-time All-Pro guard Brian Waters was the only notable absence, though head coach Bill Belichick declined...
