Gallery: MILES HIGH ULTIMA TOWER: Vertical Eco City Works Like a Tree
We've seen a whole slew of gigantic, volcano shaped, city-in-a-building towers, each promising to be the largest building in the world. First it was the wacky X-Seed design for Tokyo, and then even Norman Foster got into the game with his proposal for the massive 'Crystal Island' development in Moscow. Well now, architect Eugene Tsui is taking the gigantic volcano tower concept to a whole new eco level, by taking design inspiration from the natural world. His new design for the Ultima Tower – a 2-mile high Mt Doom-esque structure – borrows design principles from trees and other living ystem to reduce its energy footprint. We are always intrigued by architecture that uses biomimicry – the borrowing of principles from nature's designs – and Tsui's concept for this towering, ultra-dense urban development has certainly captured our attention with its thought-provoking design.

This is not originally his concept. Serbian scientist Milutin Milankovic had a concept of "Babylon tower".

hello every 1
it's mohamed
civil engineer over here
well …. I'm just wondering what kind of foundation will be used to support this tower
burj dubai is now over 800 meters and it's supported on 192 pile with 50 meter depth underground
so… how deep will be this ower foundation
keep guessing

Yes looks very lovely and oh so green! But i believe were all missing the point here and that is to build such large structures and the resources needed to do so is far from green. And is how we got to this state of affairs in the first place.I wonder if this is Eco-or Ego building.

This building is impressive (and taller)…but nothing compared to the mile-high tower being built in saudi arabia…nothing.

The \'problems\' of carbon, renewable energy use, and sustainability are systemic. They are products of the physical structure of our civilization and the only comprehensive solution to them is to alter that physical structure in a more appropriate way. The structure of civilization has historically tended to be keyed to the dominant sources of energy at any period in history and the logistics associated with its use and transportation. In the past civilization was greatly confined in physical density by the limits on transportation of key forms of energy, with waterways being the dominant means of bulk transit and the only portable energy forms being bulky and low in energy density. We have today a very physically dispersed civilization because our dominant fossil fuel forms of energy have featured very high energy density affording great energy portability, both in terms of distance from energy sources and potential dispersion of transit routes by virtue of reduced minimum scales of vehicles. We often complain about contemporary communities being designed around the automobile. However, it\'s more correct to say they are designed around gasoline because the automobile as it exists and functions now is the product of the energy characteristics of gasoline. Electric and gasoline cars evolved in parallel for most of their early history. But the growth market for automobiles was initially in the countryside, where portable energy was critical, public transportation non-existent, and the reach of urban power grids long delayed.
What does this have to do with mile high megacity towers? Well, imagine what the world would be like if we had never been able to make fractional distillation of crude oil cost-effective. No gasoline and so no long-range automobiles. So while oil might still have become a dominant energy source, it would not be used much outside the context of electricity production because it would be too filthy to burn in small vehicles and would normally only be transported around the world in bulk along few (rail and ship) transit routes. Civilization\'s structure would be confined to nodes along the bulk fossil fuel transport network and its local dispersion limited by the distribution of electric power. Electric cars and electric powered mass transit would be the norm by default. The end result? A civilization that looks like a cross between the Steam Age and the Space Age. A world that looks very much like the world depicted in this Eugene Tsui design.
But what does an imaginary world without gasoline have to do with this? Well, isn\'t that what we aspire to now? You see, there has never really been a technical \'problem\' with renewable energy. It has always worked in some degree. It just operated under very different logistical limitations compared to fossil fuels -logistics very similar to that of Steam Age energy sources like coal and unrefined oil. We invented the \'problem\' of renewable energy by demanding that it conform to the logistics of a very different form of energy -gasoline- rather than the more logical tactic of adapting our civilization\'s physical structure to suit its natural logistics -because it\'s sort of difficult for civilization to physically contract given the way property markets work. Governments don\'t reign-in urban property values so there\'s little incentive for contraction. But if you can design a new form of city that challenges the suburban ideas of standard of living and reduce property values by going upward instead of outward it becomes a more viable prospect. THIS is the real message of Tsui\'s design -as well as the arcologies of Paulo Soleri. What they have been trying to tell us for a long time is that we have to physically change how and where we live to be able to live -and live well- in the context of the logistics imposed by sustainability. To sell sustainability on a model of progress and improved standard of living rather than sacrifice, as has been environmentalism\'s tradition for a long time. Levittown is still Levittown even if it\'s made out of straw bale and has solar panels on the roofs. And the best way to show your love for nature is to leave it alone. This is what these designs -in a rather exaggerated way- are trying to say.
Of course, the biggest issue with Tsui\'s designs are that they tend to be based on speculative forms of organic construction we don\'t know how to actually do today. Ferro-cement and fiberglass are still the predominate mediums for free-form organic design right now and that hasn\'t really changed since early in the 20th century. Tsui never seems to address what, exactly, he intends to build his many proposed megastructures out of. (though in his Nexus marine colony design he\'s proposed electrolytic sea accretion -a technology once thought imminent but now known to be something of a hoax)

Hm. It's kind of impressive, but I don't know if it's something I'd support. I mean, green building is always good. But, not necessarily a giant building to enclose a whole city.
If I had seen it anywhere other than inhabitat I would have assumed it's just an example of man's arrogance: "Watch me build a giant building!"
If it's green, it's a little redeemable. But, still unnecessary.

I'm very impressed with Eugene Tsui's design for his 2 mile high city, as I am with a great deal about his wealth of design talent( which you can see by googling his name and going to his website). I've thought along these same lines for some time, being an outsider in architecture myself and therefore thinking outside the box in the mode of R. Buckminster Fuller. As we've now seen that a Saudi prince has comitted to a mile high tower i Jedda Saudi Arabia of all places, I think we are about to see more of these mega scale constructions that offer so miuch in the way of improvement for those who will be living close urban environments but who recognize that they're driving us insane with their designs that are so counter to our natural instinctive drive towards biophilia. We'll begin to benefit from these grand visionary and futuristic designs in many ways. I hope the future class of city planners are watching and learning as we abandon the old concepts which we see have generated an abundance of futility and are just too expensive for our desire for sustaining economies and societies.

I'm always unimpressed with these arcology-type buildings. I'm of the firm opinion that living in a large, tall building, even a traditional modern skyscraper, represents a severing of the connection between people and their environment – and is that really what we want? Ecological responsibility can't be built among people who don't know or care about the natural environment.
High-density development doesn't have to amputate us from the natural development. I'm a huge fan, personally, of the old Tuscan style of development – small, dense towns full of architectural interest, surrounded by the farmland that supports them and permeated with green space and built from local materials.

Is job hopping an issue for job seekers?

Where Are Those "Hidden Job Market" Jobs Hiding?

Join illustrative designer Von Glitschka as he deconstructs the creative process to teach you how to develop and create precise vector graphics. The course begins with an overview of his methodology for design and drawing—analog methods that are vital to digital workflows. Next, discover how to prepare yourself and your client for the project by defining the scope and expectations early on. With the creative brief ready and ideation explored, Von jumps into sketching, refining, and creating vector graphics through simple build methods. He continues to art direct the work and conducts digital and physical presentations of the final designs. The last chapter includes some workflow enhancements designed to save you time and conserve your creative energy for future projects.
One of the easiest methods for gathering critical client and project-specific information is by using what is called a Creative Brief. It doesn't have to be complicated. It can be a simple document that asks thoughtful questions in order to get your client to think or see themselves and their product, or most importantly their audience from a new perspective. Some questions you might ask are: What are your objectives? Where do you want to go with your business? How would you like to see your business grow? What is your desired results and vision? How would you like your business to be perceived by those experiencing it on a daily basis? Who is your Target audience? What market makes up your primary demographic? How do you see your business engaging them? It's important to design your questions, so they elicit and encourage your clients to dive deep into their own thinking.
Doing so, will help you get meaningful content and return that goes beyond the surface information available to anyone. A Creative Brief will also help you gauge and define client expectations and perceptions regarding their own business, their clients, and your creative work. Having this type of open and honest communication helps to avoid pitfalls in the overall creative process, and builds trust between you and your clients, as you both get to know each other better.
You can use Creative Briefs on any type of project, be it to logo, a character design, a brand graphic, a T-shirt design, or even copy writing. Once you've harvested this type of core client information, you're far better positioned to move forward successfully with your design. After a client fills out a creative brief I like to read through it, digests their input and follow it up with additional questions. Once I have these questions answered, I'm ready to rock 'n roll.
If you're not using Creative Briefs, I highly recommend that you develop one to use with your own clients. To help you get started checkout the Exercise Files to review the simple Creative Brief I use with my own small business clients.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Anne Cassidy, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 13 October 2011 08:00AM
The winning agency will become HTC's global creative and strategic lead across all markets, although the brand will retain its relationships with local agencies.
The Taiwanese company is understood to be holding meetings in Seattle with agencies including the US incumbent, Deutsch LA, and the pan-European incumbent, Mother.
HTC's decision to appoint a global lead agency follows a recent review of its £35 million European ad account. Mother was appointed as the lead agency across the business in July. The agency replaced McCann London just five months after the Interpublic shop was hired.
The digital shop Profero and the integrated agency Momentum are also on HTC's pan-European roster.
The handset manufacturer hired Deutsch LA as its first retained agency in the US following a review in 2009. The agency created the global advertising campaign "you" shortly after the appointment. Figtree continue to be the global brand agency for HTC.
HTC, which is aiming to steal market share from rivals such as Apple and Samsung, launched its first smartphones based on Microsoft's new Mango mobile operating system this week.
The HTC Titan and Radar smartphones go on sale this month in Europe, the US and other markets.

This is a very buttery and creamy concealer - i say buttery because it has a very high shine to it, its like concealer mixed with their High Beam, it does leave a very dewy finish and creases like no bodies business.

I am frustrated by the fact that there are only four shades of this. It looks very orange on my skin in the winter when my skin isn't as tanned, but I have the lightest shade. It is very obvious when I have tried to cover stuff with it. Honestly it had a very weird slippery texture once on and it seemed like it slipped off my blemishes very easily. My bb cream does a better job with coverage. I hate that I have to put my finger in the little tub too, it seems dirty, I lost that scooper a long time ago. :/.

I bought this because I saw it in a video review, it did look very different to work with, like it would glide on to your skin and reflect light beautifully.
Well, it IS a paste. It's so hard to melt it to your skin. I have tried to make it work so many times and I always end up looking like it's obvious that I have concealer on my eyelids, but also the dark under circles and veins are there. My foundation is doing a lot better job.
Also the color could be slightly more neutral. First I was using the spatula, but in the end I got tired of cleansing it every time I used it.. I prefer tubes.
Too much hype, too expensive, I hate this product.

This product is extremely sticky hard to blend, the packaging tub is unhygienic & the spatula is not at all convenient for application you need a brush, I did like the color and the coverage it was quite brightening. However, if I was rating only the first hour it would've been a 3 or 4 but this exaggerated my lines that I really don't have much of normally unless I don't sleep or am dehydrated. The staying power is garbage on my oily skin. You win some, you lose some. I return some. This is going bye bye ASAP. Spare yourself the disappointment if you're oily.

I like the color of this, because the peachy tone is a great under-eye brightener. Unfortunately, this formula is too creamy for me. I am 19, and I usually don't have to worry about lines under my eyes. The Erase Paste will sink into very fine lines and make them extremely noticeable without powder and checkups. I am experimenting with different primers.

I got this as a gift, and don't think I had ever considered purchasing it myself. It is very thick, so I can't use it under my eyes. It gets cakey and creases. I am actually better off using nothing. It is decent for concealing broken capillaries, but I don't think it very good for concealing blemishes or any other raised marks or depressions, such as a scar.

Underrated 1853 Restrike1853 $1 Restrike PR61 PCGS. So far as is known, no original proofs were struck in 1853 of the Seated dollar, although for collectors' sakes the situation was apparently rectified a decade later, when perhaps a dozen restrike proofs were made either from a new obverse die or one previously unused. As here, the obverse of all these restrikes shows diagonal, raised file marks just below Liberty's rock, beginning at the 8 and continuing to the right side of the 3. The obverse also shows a combination of raised die lines in the fields and many short hairline scrapes, most prominent on Liberty's thighs, shield, and foot. Notable strike softness appears on the reverse, especially on the eagle's left (facing) wing and neck feathers.
'Novodel' Seated Dollar, PR61
'Novodel' Seated Dollar, PR61
The 1853 proof dollars are extremely rare, even though they are likely underrated due to the broad availability of business strikes of this year. The proof 1853s are also overshadowed by the Seated dollar issues of 1851 and 1852, which are rare in any grade. The Bowers Buyer's Guide to the series calls the 1853 restrikes "novodels" due to the absence of known originals.

A global tipping point for Goldman Sachs
For decades, Goldman Sachs has been as American as apple pie or July 4. Less charitably, you might say the bank is as American as the grey squirrel. But no longer. Some time this year (probably in the past few months) Goldman Sachs passed an important milestone. For the first time, it employs more staff outside the US than in its home market.

Dr. Greg & Milledue try to make sense of the Civil War...

Joined: Nov 2005

Thursday 10/4: Hagerstown, MD - Chambersburg, PA
Like I said yesterday, it was sort of stupid of me to ride
as far as SoPaRider's place, but stop so close. Well, turns out that wasn't the
stupid thing I did...
It was only a 25-mile ride from Hagerstown, MD to Chambersburg, PA where I stopped briefly to chat with SoPaRider. We agreed that I'd ride over to the Gettysburg National Military Park for the afternoon, then come back to his place for the evening. And that's what I did.
OK, as for the
really stupid
thing I did...okay, maybe not stupid, but...
A "Near-Showstopper" for the
Content of this Ride Report
My camera battery was slowly discharging, as one would expect. "No sweat," I told Mrs. Greg over the phone yesterday, "I'll charge it tonight, or maybe put the spare battery in." So last night I looked for the charger and spare battery...
Now, remember that early pic with all my stuff spread out? The charger and extra battery
were in that pic! I KNOW IT!
So I checked again. Nothing. Hmm, this could be ugly. "Plan B" would be to take pics with the iPad, which of course I can't do while riding ("yay," says Mrs. Greg).
So I told myself when I got back to SoPaRider's place I'd thoroughly check through
my gear...
A PIC-Less Description of the Gettysburg National Military Park Visitor Center
So I rode over to Gettysburg and thought I'd visit the "Visitors Center" at the National Military Park. That should be "do-able" in an afternoon, right? Well, turns out that it was. I paid my money (too much!), sat thru the film, then checked out this big circular painting (the "Cyclorama"), then visited the museum.
And it affected me
. Mainly the museum.
...I can't adequately share my thoughts with you because
I can't post the pictures.
And I can't post the pictures because
So my camera went "dead" before I was really finished taking pics at the museum.
And now that I'm back at SoPaRider's house working on the RR, I can't upload the pics, so I can't talk about my profound feelings, and...
SoPaRider to the Rescue!
But SoPaRider said, "hey, there's a camera store in Chambersburg, PA...let's go over there and see if we can't get you a battery." Well, he drove us over there, and turns out they
have a camera battery, but...
they had a
Even better, cuz if I had bought a battery it might not have been fully charged. Teach a man to fish...
So anyway, I'm back in business! I'll upload what pictures I
to take at the Visitor Center, and do my best to comment on them.
But I
just don't feel like doing it tonight.
Too late.
Tomorrow's Agenda at Gettysburg
So tomorrow morning I'll update the RR, with pictures and everything. Sorry (in advance) that I had to forego taking some pics I really wanted, cuz of the dead battery. That's life.
Then after that I'm hoping to ride back over to the G'burg National Military Park and riding the 24-mile "Auto Tour" route (or at least some part of it). I'll try to take what pics I can, and update the RR at SoPaRider's place when I return.
I don't honestly know how this will all work out. Tomorrow (Friday) is supposed to be nice, but the weather is going to degenerate again, and I'd like to get out of here (to the South) before the rain hits in earnest.
So I'm very happy that we found a solution to the camera battery issue (now I wonder where my original charger/battery are...Mrs. Greg says she can't find them, and I
they made it home from China).
Looking forward to a good night's rest and a good day tomorrow.
PS. I'm just about of the opinion that all future Civil War re-enactions should be performed with live ammunition. That's the only way I can "make sense" out of the whole affair. Nuff said.
PPS. This would be a good time to discuss the "Dr. Greg"
on my T-shirts. But too late for that, too...

Permanent Makeup Artist Makes Over Website With Beautiful Results
To show how easily permanent cosmetics gives a woman an enhanced appearance and saves her time and effort every day for years at a time, the industry's leading expert artist mirrors this with her new look website and creating an even easier user-friendly experience.
"Instead of a whole box filled with various video selections to choose from, now all a woman has to do is simply hit one play button on the homepage," says Sally Hayes, renowned permanent makeup artist since 1986 and original owner of permanentmakeup.com. "And in the one video we address many of the points of interest which clients say are most important to them."
Beyond the homepage, the website makeover features expansion to include a shopping section with proven solutions for skincare and growing longer, fuller eyelashes. "I'm only offering products I've used successfully on myself, or products I know very well," says Hayes. "Clients are always asking me what my secrets are, so now we've posted them on the website and made them available for everyone to explore, consider, or try for themselves whenever they want."
Hayes knows all too well how many of her permanent makeup clients from New York City to Los Angeles are hoping to enjoy both the rewards of the time and effort saving benefits as well as the natural-looking enhancement they receive of their facial features. She prides herself on being able to use her experience over tens of thousands of procedures to get clients the results they want as quickly and easily as possible.

Bears' Jordan Mills eases into left guard
Jordan Mills played left guard Monday for the first time since the Bears announced plans to shift him there in Matt Slauson's place. The second-year player, who started all 16 games at right tackle last season and — with the exception of missing one game with foot soreness — this year, said it was different.
Bears promote David Bass, add offensive lineman, put Lamarr Houston on shelf
The Bears moved Monday to fill the roster void left by Lamarr Houston, promoting David Bass from the practice squad and signing tackle Jason Weaver to take his place. Bass played 13 games for the Bears and started one last season, recording 20 1/2 tackles and returning an interception for a touchdown. At 6-5, 305
Phil Emery: Bears to approach Tuesday's trade deadline in 'win now' mode
With the NFL's trade deadline looming Tuesday, Bears general Phil Emery said the team has been approached with interesting offers, but nothing that would make the team better in the short term. And, yes, the Bears are still concerned with improving this year's team — not next. "We've had two or three interesting things that
From bad to worse: Bears' Lamarr Houston, Matt Slauson out for season
Lamarr Houston's embarrassing injury had serious implications: he won't play for the Bears again this season. The defensive end suffered a torn right ACL while celebrating a sack with the Bears down 25 points. Rehab is six-to-eight, general manager Phil Emery said. He said his rehabilitation will be similar to that of Nate Collins, who
Bears fear left guard Matt Slauson could have torn pectoral muscle
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Bears fear that left guard Matt Slauson could have a torn right pectoral muscle, a source told the Sun-Times late Sunday, though he will have a decisive MRI on Monday. Slauson left the Bears' 51-23 loss to the Patriots in the fourth quarter. He had ice and a sling on his
After blowout, Bears' Jay Cutler says it's time 'to decide how we want to end this year'
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — When the Bears return from their bye week, they'll have to decide how they want their season, now 3-5 after a 51-23 drubbing by the Patriots on Sunday, to end. "We're gonna take some time off, obviously, with the bye week, come in tomorrow and watch some film," he said. "And collectively,
Bears lose linebacker Darryl Sharpton (hamstring) for rest of Patriots game
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Bears linebacker Darryl Sharpton left Sunday's game against the Patriots and will not return because of a hamstring injury. Sharpton was the team's starting linebacker in a nickel package. The team started Christian Jones at the weak side, in place of Lance Briggs. Both Briggs and linebacker Jon Bostic were inactive Sunday.
Jordan Mills, Lance Briggs and Jon Bostic among Bears' inactives vs. Patriots
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Bears will play a new right tackle Sunday, and will again deal with the loss of two of their main linebackers. Jordan Mills, whose sore left foot has plagued him since offseason surgery, has been ruled inactive. He will be replaced at right tackle by Michael Ola, who has already started games
Jordan Mills questionable, Lance Briggs doubtful as Bears prepare for Patriots
The Bears will likely be without two starters for their most important game of the season — right tackle Jordan Mills was declared questionable and linebacker Lance Briggs was called doubtful Friday. Briggs, who was a ribs injury, has been playing on the Bears' "show team," mimicking the opponent. "As the trainers say, he's starting
Jay Cutler on Brandon Marshall: 'I don't think he attacked anyone personally'
Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall was frustrated Sunday, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler said Thursday, but didn't attack any one player verbally after the Bears' 27-14 loss to the Dolphins. And, the quarterback said, he certainly wasn't gunning for Cutler. "No. He didn't come near me. He didn't say my name," he said. "I don't think

The 76ers did the Curly Shuffle over the weekend and say "nyuk, nyuk, nyuk" to Mo Cheeks, firing him as head coach. Do I like the move? No. But then I don't like it when people die, either, and both these things tend to be inevitable, only that the career lifespan of an NBA coach is typically a lot shorter.
But I think Cheeks got an especially raw deal here in Philly. His relatively short coaching tenure had three distinct periods. 1) The Iverson era, where Cheeks wasn't really able to control A.I. -- but then who has? (And I won't even mention Chris Webber). Then, he was handed a team with a huge element of rookies and untested or not-reaching-their-potential players and asked to see what he could do -- and in my opinion Cheeks worked wonders, reaching the playoffs and stealing two games from the Pistons with a team that should have been fighting for a high lottery pick. Then, management made some moves, especially signing Elton Brand, that altered the chemistry of the team but so far, after just one-fourth of the season, have actually taken it a step backward.
Something to remember as you read all the upcoming prediction stories for 2009 -- these are almost always all wrong, bass-ackwardly so. But The Economist (yes, Sarah Palin's favorote magazine) set a new bar for getting it wrong with its 2008 predictions. Check this out:
For 23 years, The Economist has issued bold predictions for the coming year in its thick December special issue. Last year, its crystal ball, in the issue called "The World in 2008," was a little foggy.
There is no whining in football.
The years that Miami car dealer Norman Braman owned the Eagles had their Buddy Ryan fun moments but aren't remembered especially fondly -- he didn't have the made-in-Philly bravado of his predecessor Leonard Tose, and none of his teams even made it to the Super Bowl as did Tose's squad in 1980-81 and the 2004-05 Birds of Jeff Lurie. But the biggest complaint against wealthy Miami car dealer Norman Braman was that, well, he may have been born in West Philly but now was a wealthy car dealer from Miami, bleeding not Eagles' green but blue-blood blue.
More than 14 years after selling the Eagles, Braman is still a Miami car dealer -- but apparently he's not as wealthy as he thought he was last week.
Throwing shoes never solves anything. Dude, you're a journalist -- haven't you learned that the pen is mightier than the heel?
Picked this up from Greg Mitchell at Editor and Publisher's excellent newish blog, the E&P Pub" -- the Associated Press list of the Top 10 rock albums of 2008, which in fact is one long giant "huh?" Greg was the senior editor of the legendary rock magazine Crawdaddy during the early 1970s, which is why he and Springsteen are on a first name basis. And he has no idea who the heck these people are.
I'm a little familiar with one of the bands, the Black Keys, and was actually listening online to some TV on the Radio this week only because they were atop someone else's 10 best list. But the other eight could be polka bands for all I know. One of the things that made rock and roll great when it was great was that it was a SHARED experience, in the day when no one would ever look at a "10 best" list and say, "Gee, I never heard that one...'Satisfaction' by the Rolling Stones." Having iTunes and XM radio and all that narrowcasting is great, but I don't see how music can matter as much as it did in the communal days of real Top 40 and, dare I say it, jukeboxes.
Baffled by the lead story on Editor and Publisher:
From the Columbia Journalism Review: Guess which one is a "winner" and which one is a "sinner."
Hint: Why do you think I'm posting it?

I currently use the Muddy Safeguard. It is similar to the ultralight. I love it. I also use a lifeline for all my stands. Gets a tad expensive but its cheaper then a hospital bill and a helicopter ride. I personally do not care what someones preference is whether its Muddy, HSS, Summit, etc. The important thing is that you use it! They have some interesting products which seemed to be modeled after industrial harnesses. I noticed they also have a "Rope Grap Device" which is really what I know as a "Gibbs Ascender". From the many rope rescue classes I've taken those have fallen out of favor due to increased rope wear and possible failure. Prussik is the better option. Rope on rope when possible.

Welcome to the Women in Tech wiki!
This community was created by - Cassie McDaniel with the hopes of celebrating women working in the technology industry. It is meant to foster new relationships, share quality articles, and to gather names and contact information in one place to make it easier for folks who organize events to to be inclusive of hardworking ladies in tech.
Why a wiki?
For at least for the past three years - FITC has hosted a competition for women to win a free ticket to their Toronto conference. 2010 and 2011 called for videos or animations about why women wanted to attend FITC, but this year - in 2012 the call is for "anything you can provide a link to." This wiki is Cassie's contribution to the community, in hopes that a few day's work will snowball and that women will keep contributing to these archives.
Women need to be better represented on the stages at tech conferences and events around the world, so it is to that end that a self-sustaining community in which women can list themselves and/or their inspirational role models in the tech industry will help. It is important that such a list be transparent and social, not only because one moderator may be too busy to keep such a list up-to-date, but because the very act of women stepping up and nourishing the tech community will be what makes all the difference in truly integrating women into male-dominated technology fields.
What will you find here?
The ladies lists women by city who work in technology. These gals could be contacted for collaborations, speaking or judging opportunities, or potential mentorships. I've begun seeding the content of this wiki with women from the major cities in which FITC conferences happen.
Events Board lists all upcoming meetups, conferences or other events that have content focused on women in tech. Please submit your own or others you come across.
Articles is a repository for articles about women in tech.
Friends lists other groups supportive of women in tech. Catching onto the theme?
The app
The app is an extension of this wiki and is Cassie's contribution to the women in tech community. These app designs are released as Creative Commons files which can be altered or even developed as is to become a Women in Tech mobile app. This way, busy event planners can easily access resources to help them be more inclusive of women in tech events.
The section contains: mockup jpgs and psds
Feel free to take any idea here and absolutely run with it. Send Cassie a link – knockknock [at] cassiemcdaniel [dotcom] to satiate her curiosity.

The Cell Therapy industry has a high level of market share concentration. Given that the industry is in the growth stage of its life cycle and it typically takes a number of years to bring a product to market, there is a large number of smaller companies in the industry that are still in the product development stage and awaiting FDA approval. There are currently only about 40 cell therapy products available on the commercial market, according to the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine's annual report. Consequently, market share concentration is expected to decrease over the next five years as new products are introduced to the commercial market.

So sorry ms-quoted and zwitterion. Such a crappy start to the year!!
Does anyone have any research or can you point me in the right direction for info on when to try again after a m/c? My doc was no help and just asked if I wanted BC which is pretty insensitive when I'm there because I just lost my baby! It's a week since bleeding started and it's is really light now so I'm wondering if I'll O again in 7-10 days or not.
Nolliesmama-When I miscarried at 6+ weeks I did ovulate on day 21 that month, no pregnancy however. It took 4 months of trying with very late ovulation day (25+) and 2 months of BC to finally conceive our third. HTH!
IBCLC, student midwife, and co-sleeping, delayed/no vax, extended breastfeeding, homeschooling Momma to M(8), A(6), R(4)after 2 c/s, J(2) and M (09/11)
My temp read 95.9 this morning!!! So low--have any of you temped this low? My thyroid levels are good and I was in bed for 6 hours prior to temping, so I think it is valid. Also had a brief ov. pain (or what felt like it) this afternoon. ???
Mama , DH , DD (05) , DS1 (09) , DS2 (12)
zwitterion - I'm sorry.
sraplayas - do you temp orally?
AFM - On cd 31, I've had tons of ewcm until yesterday and then it turned creamy, I've had two positive OPKs between yesterday and the day before, my nips have been on fire for the last 6 days, and my temp hasn't jumped yet! GAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

My BIL is a Dr. and he told me after my m/c that doctors usually recommend waiting a cycle before TTC again, but just because your cycle after a m/c tends to be unpredictable and usually it is very stressful for women to try to figure out when they ovulate and such. However, he said that usually your hormones are very high and good for getting preggers right after a m/c. We didn't catch the first egg after my last m/c, but got the next one.
I came on to say that I think I'm feeling cramping... which is good! 3 weeks after night weaning, maybe dear old Aunt Flo is back, finally!
So sorry to hear about your miscarriage.
We conceived DD1 right after my second miscarriage. We conceived her so fast the OB I had at the time questioned if I had miscarried at all (Ultrasounds were used during the process to confirm I had miscarried). I had no progesterone issues with her; however, I have had progesterone issues with all other pregnancies, including this one. HTH.

Im so sorry. It really sucks.....

Could this be a temp drop right before ovulation? That always happens to me. Also, as someone else mentioned, temping orally can give low results if you slept with your mouth open.

to all the mama's who have had a rough month. I'm so sorry for your losses.
AFM, I've been lurking but not posting much as absolutely nothing is happening. Now that DD is 18 months old, I'm toying with the idea of trying to night wean, but she had 2 molars and at least 1 incisor coming in right now, so she needs the comfort, plus she's eating even less than usual.
We have a grueling 10 hour drive each way through the mountains to attend my husband's grandfather's funeral this weekend ahead of us, followed by a 2 week trip to Cuba at the end of the week, so I think I'll just let things be until we settle back into our routine sometime in February, and then see how things are going.

Thanks! I had no idea that I could get a low temp if I sleep with my mouth open. I really don't know about that--have to ask DH (tee hee). However, how do you temp? (And if it is vaginal, please do tell me how you practically do this w/out getting out of bed and disturbing your co-sleeping toddler. :)
Mama , DH , DD (05) , DS1 (09) , DS2 (12)
sraplayas - i have to temp vaginally since i'm an open mouth sleeper. i keep the thermometer under my pillow and just slip my arm under the pillow, then quietly slip my hand under the blankets and uner the underpants and insert into vagina about 1 1/2 - 2 inches. Then hit the button and wait for the beep. Then quietly pull it out and put back under my pillw, then wash when time to get up for the day.
thanks for the walk-though, greenmama (haha)--exactly what I was wondering.
if I start temping vaginally, I guess I'll have to mark that on ff since it may look different than the orals.
on another subject, have any of you who have taken vitex/chasteberry had problems with plugged ducts? I just increased my dosage (it's combined with other BF-safe herbs also) and I have that crushed-glass pain in my breast when DS nurses and a little dot of "milk" sitting in the duct that won't rub off.
Just wondering if maybe this might be connected to the vitex...
oh well, it gives me a super good excuse to take the nap I've been lusting after for weeks if DS will cooperate (he turns 2 this week!)
Mama , DH , DD (05) , DS1 (09) , DS2 (12)
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Put me in the 2ww, if you please. I'm 2 dpo!
i give up. this is making me crazy. take me off the list. i am going to go back to pretending i dont care. i will still temp but i am not going to ttc anymore. not until i get my first ppaf. which could be 6 months down the road. i am not going to drive myself crazy that long. i need to get back to concentrating on my kids. i got all caught up in this ttc thing and i cant force it to happen. so it is a waiting game. i will find you all when i am ready. :)
good luck everybody!

lionessmama, I'm sad that you are leaving us for a time. Your chart and experiences have been an encouragement to me and I am sure to others as well. pm me anytime. :)

Would anyone care to recommend some natural remedies to encourage PPAF or O? I have heard vitex, evening primrose oil, macha... but I never hear abut doses or if you should take them together or separately or what. My DS is 8.5 months and we would love to have another close in age. He nurses only once during the night ( I think he's a better sleeper than I am!). I'd love it if someone could point me in the right direction for beginning to prepare. I've read TCYF but its been years, do they have a breastfeeding section?
I took 1200mg of Vitex and 2 tsp. of Maca from the time my babe turned 12 months, but my ppaf didn't come until 4 days before 19 months. And I had stopped taking anything by then. I think my body had to finally be ready to handle another pregnancy and my babe had to nightwean, which he did 2 weeks before ppaf came. Oh, and I went on vacation. Going on vacation always brings back my fertility! Sooo....I vote that you should go on Puerto Rican trip, it worked for me. ;) And yes, TCOYF has a breastfeeding section, definitely check it out!
Thank you! Yeah, I'm not really getting my hopes this early, but if I could do something that didn't harm the nursing realtionship with my son that happened to bring back my fertility... I'm all for it! Before I ever got pregnant I always wanted kids very close in age. I figured it would change once I experienced what it was actually like to be pregnant and then care for a newborn. Nope, I was already thinking about it within a few weeks of giving birth! I had world's easiest pregnancy and homebirth, and DS is/was a very very easy going baby which is probably giving me a false sense of security. Hopefully the next one isn't extra difficult to balance things out:)
LionessMom - I hope your time away is brief & you can be back in the saddle :) , so to speak, soon. Sending lots of O vibes your way!
Stephbrownthinks - I agree with GreenMamma about the nightweaning (and Puerto Rico sounds fantastic, too!!). I wasn't lucky enough to get the vacation, but, like GreenMamma, 2 wks after nightweaning my ppaf returned. My DD2 was about 19 months, too. Best of luck to you!
SoCali - any news from you? Hope you're well and your LP is >10 days this cycle.
AFM, I'm thrilled to say that I am finally back! It has been so hard to TTA all of those months while my TSH (thyroid) levels were off. Last check (as of mid Dec) I was high normal. They upped my dose so my #s are probably even better now. I believe I O'd today (tomorrow's temp should confirm) and our timing was definitely great. I am keeping my FX that it was my thyroid levels, and only that, keeping us from pregnancy before. Time will tell, and it's going to be a looooooooooong 2 weeks!
And at long last I have a siggy. Only took me 2 years!!!
Hello ladies.
We're still waiting on the first PPAF.
DS is now 17 months and not a sign of AF. He still nurses 2-3 times per night, so we'll see what happens!
Peaches'mom~ for you. We adopted a dog on Tuesday. She's roughly 2yrs old Terrier Mix, she was already named Farrah. her name links to a picture of her.
Can anyone shed some light on my dilemma? I am confused. I had a +OPK on both Tues night & Wed, negative on Thurs. I had EWCM on Tues, then even more on Wed and less on Thurs. Today (Friday) it has definitely turned to creamy. All of this makes sense except that my temps have held steady at about 36.35 Celsius each of these days. Today was 36.4 which is still within my pre-O temp range.
I assumed that I O'd either Wed or Thurs, but now I'm thinking it didn't happen. Is it possible to have a thermal shift that is 2 days after O?
Any insight is much appreciated!
SoCali - Farrah is adorable! I hope she settles in easily & you're having lots of fun with her.
There is supposed to be a 3 day buffer for accuracy when it comes to temping. But honestly, I think it's more like you had an LH surge high enough to see a positive OPK and high enough to give you some fertile fluid, but not high enough to kick out the egg. It's not an uncommon event. Keep BDing.
Hi all! I wanna join, but are you continuing the same thread for Feb? We missed Jan's opportunity, so we're starting now. =) Hoping to conceive by summer so these babes aren't too far apart!
I'm nursing a 14 mo old. Got cycles back at 10 wks PP (ugh) despite EBF til 9 mos! Nightweaned at 5 mos except he still gets a feeding at 10:30pm then none til 6:30am or so when he wakes up.
Despite having 12 cycles PP already, I jsut went over my charts and see that my LP has been only 8 days except for 2 cycles, one was 11 and one was 12 days. Last cycle was 8 days again. So it looks like even tho I seem to ovulate, I couldn't sustain a preg. at this point. *sigh*
Also getting my thyroid levels checked next week bc I'm hypo, so we'll see how that goes. Already on b complex and prenatals.
Kami, Farrah is soooo cute! I love that face! I am a softie for terriers, though!
Please move me back to waiting to O :( Af is here, I am on cd 1 again, and have a saline sonohystogram scheduled for Thursday to check for any c/s scarring. I had one scheduled a couple months ago, but backed out due to nerves. I think I am ready now. ;)
Thanks, and good luck to everyone!!!

Rarely does the response to a State of the Union address create more buzz than the presidential pontification itself. But that's what happened with the sharp lesson in populist economics delivered by Senator Jim Webb of Virginia. Webb's indictment of the Iraq War was direct and powerful, but it was his use of the language of class conflict in discussing domestic policy that really had the country buzzing after January 23. Talk-radio host Laura Ingraham referred to Webb's response, warning the National Review Institute Conservative Summit, "The party that comes off as the party that represents the American worker best is the party that wins in 2008."
Republicans are right to fear Webb's words. Blunt talk of America "drifting apart along class lines" and the observation that "it takes the average worker more than a year to make the money that his or her boss makes in one day" connect with voters soured on the GOP, as even George W. Bush implicitly acknowledged when he told a Wall Street crowd a week later that corporate boards "need to pay attention" to executive compensation. As proven by Webb's upset victory in November, and the victories of Ohio's Sherrod Brown, Vermont's Bernie Sanders and Montana's Jon Tester, candidates willing to break with the bosses can draw working-class voters out of the clutches of moralizing right-wingers and back into the Democratic fold.
Now Democrats need to prove with deeds that match Webb's rhetoric just which side they're on. With moves to raise the minimum wage and tax Big Oil, House Democrats have taken some significant steps. Senate Democrats have done the same with efforts to raise taxes on executive pay. But much more is possible.
Take the question of what to do about healthcare, our most critical domestic issue. George W. Bush's answer in his speech was to tax workers whose employers offer high-quality plans ("gold-plated" in Bush's snide reference) in order to cover a small number of the currently uninsured, while offering the wealthy yet another new tax deduction if they buy their own plans.
The Democrats should counter Bush with a plan that's already backed by seventy-eight House members, HR 676, the National Health Insurance Act, introduced by Representatives John Conyers and Dennis Kucinich. Some 225 labor unions back the bill, which would expand Medicare to every US resident. A tax on the top 5 percent of income earners, among other measures, would pay for the program.
Too radical? Consider that in September, an ABC News/Kaiser Family Foundation/USA Today survey found that 56 percent of Americans would prefer a government-run universal healthcare system "like Medicare" to our current system.
Or take the matter of education. The median income of workers with a BA or higher is about double that of those with only a high school diploma. But as Jeff Madrick noted here recently, thanks to rising costs and inadequate aid, the march to higher graduation rates has stalled in America as other countries have surpassed us. How should Congress respond? It could start with the plan, proposed by Edward Kennedy, chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, to forgive all college loans if graduates work in public service for ten years.
There's more. How about dusting off legislation to deny corporations tax deductions when executive compensation exceeds twenty-five times the pay of the lowest-paid full-time worker? How about responding to Bush's request for fast-track authority on free-trade agreements by requiring the inclusion of labor, environmental and human rights standards in any new deals?
Senator Webb invoked the example of Teddy Roosevelt's progressive reforms in the early twentieth century. That's a good place for Democrats to look for inspiration in turning Webb's message into enthusiasm for their party in 2008. More important, they can begin work now on an economic program that, to borrow Webb's phrase, will insure that the benefits of our immense wealth are "properly shared among all Americans."

I can't find the actual weight of the engine but the whole bike only weighs in at 182kgs and the engine has won many awards and has been around since 2008 so a lot of the bugs have been ironed out. The street triple is a very compact bike and goes like stink. I had one for the day when my 1190R was being serviced and the engine is a peach.
Just a thought from out of left field and I'm waiting for the backlash
I think this combination would be great! From an adventure bike standpoint it would be fantastic. Makes for more "smooth" power and reduced vibration on sealed roads, yet is still an excellent machine off-road.
