Jaeger, Jaeger by Jaeger, Jaeger Clothing, Jaeger London
Today was the Jaeger Autumn Winter 2011 Press day. A fabulous affair full of bold, brilliant colours. The colour pallete for the AW 2011 collection is full of bright solids and primary colours. I particularly liked some of the patterns in the Boutique by Jaeger collection which had been reinterpreted from the Young Jaeger archive. Also on show was the shoe collection by Beatrix Ong, featuring some stunning heels that will be the envy of women next season.
O'Neill are currently searching for the face (and body) of their international SS12 fashion campaign to coincide with the launch of their new Superkini bikini. The winner will also receive a 12-month global modelling contract with NEXT Models (home to some of the world's most famous Supermodels) and a trip for 2 to Miami where they will have professional photos taken for the agency.
Headed up by Australian Victoria's Secret model Elyse Taylor, the competition runs on www.facebook.com/oneillgirls until 15th May - so only 4 more days left to submit!
Absolutely anyone can apply by uploading their photo to the page and getting people to vote. The 12 finalists will take part in the 'One Way Runway' event in Ibiza in June, where they have to walk the runway before jumping off a cliff in their Superkini, which is made with a special material that sticks to the body to prevent embarrassing moments and wardrobe malfunctions.
In addition to Elyse Taylor, the panel of judges include professional O'Neill surfer Raine Jackson and international fashion editors.
I love Elite Models London and this shoot stars model Tommy Kristiansen from Elite Models, so by extension I love this shoot.The Photographer was Ryan Parry and the stylist Chris Preston.The headwear was also designed by Ryan Parry.
Speedo, has unveiled its stunning fashion collaboration with award winning ethical fashion designers From Somewhere.
Produced using surplus stocks of its Speedo LZR Racer suit, the range features retro 50s styling with a playful modern twist, combining practical swimwear with high-end fashion trends to create a look that's equally at home on the beach or at a party.
Orsola de Castro, the co-owner of From Somewhere, said "After unveiling the first of our Speedo LZR Racer collaborations at London Fashion Week in September 2010, we have had an enormous amount of fun in designing and producing these latest pieces, and we feel that we've learned a lot about how far we can go, building our confidence, introducing lots of colour and creating designs we're extremely proud of.
"The range comprises a wide variety of products, taking in eveningwear made from over 60 swimsuits, to the super wearable 'Swimdress', a new concept in swimwear as daywear, and we're sure fashion followers will be delighted with the results."
Launching in Selfridges stores this week, the UK release of the collection coincides with Climate Week. In addition to its release in Selfridges stores in the UK and online exclusively at yoox.com, the 'From Somewhere with Speedo' collection will also be available at Hallelujah in Brussels, Belgium, and in Tokyo's Beams outlet.Continue Reading
Alexander McQueen, Kate Middleton, Uncategorized
London News: Sources claim that Kate Middleton will be wearing a wedding dress designed by Sarah Burton, Creative Director of Alexander McQueen. According reports representatives at Alexander McQueen have denied the claims. However, it is well known that the royal family are pretty "hush hush" about these types of things... Would it not be great to see Kate in McQueen design complete with 10-inch Armadillo shoes lol... sorry i could not resist.
featured, John Galliano, Kate Moss
British fashion designer, John Galliano has been fired by fashion house Dior after alleged anti-Semitic comments he made last week.
Apparently Dior dismissed him after seeing a video clip allegedly showing Galliano telling two women in a Paris cafe: "I love Hitler." Footage has also emerged online allegedly showing Galliano saying "People like you would be dead today - your mothers, your forefathers would be gassed."
Already Dior's chief executive Sidney Toledano and Oscar-winning actress and face of Miss Dior Cherie perfume, Natalie Portman have released statements condemning Galliano's actions.
When asked about the situation Natalie stated "In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr Galliano in any way,"
So with the current news about Kate Moss wanting her friend Galliano to design her wedding dress all over the web we have to ask is this going to happen? We will have to wait and see if Kate "stands by her man"
Premier Models, The Model Agency Channel 4
The day has finally come for The Model Agency to make its debut on Channel 4 TV and give us all a sneak peek into the working of Premier, one of the world's biggest modelling agencies. The agency has been home to a number of top names including supermodels such as Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford just to name a few. I'll be here for the next six weeks to chat about the ups and downs of The Model Agency and giving my take on all the the high-lights and low-lights for your reading pleasure!
So with no further adieu: The Model Agency
I've stocked up on Lambrini and other treats and I'm ready for the show to start. Phones on silent and I'll be totally tuned into this show for the next hour. You should be too!
Show starts off with a preamble about being a model. Apparently they can make up to £15000 a day... Obviously I am in the wrong profession. If only I met the criteria lol! But i know only a select few ever make that much money.
Only three minutes gone and it's apparent that Paul the senior booker is going to be the star of this show. This man is TV Gold. A model wannabe calls and he abruptly tells her "5 foot 5, thats way too short im afraid, Thank You!"
And already Paul gives us our second golden moment of the show when he describes Diana as "the model with the pretty face". Isn't that prerequisite to being a model? Paul quickly points out that thats a silly comment to make in a modelling agency.
9:06 pm
Next booker to be introduced is Annie, the head of the New Faces division. She looks after all the new girls between 15 and 19. Seems really happy. I think she is going to be "the nice one" on the show. She then introduces two girls, India from Manchester and Naomi from Colliers Wood. Carol the Director of the agency thinks these two girls have the potential to be huge.
The first crisis happens. India one of the models is sick in New York. Annie seems very surprised that India is getting sick because its "very unlike her". Huh? Do models not get sick?????
Basically, more drama about India being in New York. Now she has decided to quit modelling and return to school. Annie seems really upset and is driven to the point of tears.... Please could someone give Annie a hug?... or a counsellor?? (lol) The other agents are all engulfed in the problems with India and it seems to make Annie even more upset. I can foresee more waterworks from Annie in the near future.....
Annie decides to fly to New York to give India a shoulder to lean on, but who's shoulder will Annie lean on?, she's been bloody crying for most of the episode! Apparently the drama with India stems from someone in New York telling her that she's fat.... If India is fat then obviously I must be morbidly obese.
The show is half way through and we have heard India's name about 5788500 million times. I am thinking they should consider renaming the show "The India Show". I've also heard her name so much that I've been brainwashed into planning a trip to India. Annie is on the phone with India and tells India that "she's having a cry while India cries on the phone"....
We finally see the infamous India and she tells us that she doesn't know what she wants to do in life and that her brother only figured out what he wanted to do when he was 21. Well unfortunately for India a model's career is half way through by the times she's 21 so she better make up her mind quickly!
We also see Sadaf, from the Men's board photographing one of the male models. Am I the only one that finds it weird that he is wearing two pairs of underwear?
India's decided to leave New York and is back off to school.
Am I the only one that noticed that when Carol puts on her glasses she transforms from a sweet, loveable lady into a witch that swears like a pirate and breathes fire. It's uncanny.
Paul is back on TV and the real show starts again. Seriously, everything out of his mouth is GOLD. This time he's trying to persuade one of the interns not to get anymore tattoos. He tells her that if she wants to get a tattoo she should get a steaming dog turd or cobweb tattooed on her face. HAHAHA I can't really see that happening...
We meet Jade, a gorgeous girl that Anthony (the Director of Scouting) scouted at Thorpe Park (of all places!!!). He tells us about his ability to see a model's "potential". I guess that must make him the modelling industry's version of Nostradamus.
So that brings us to the end week 1 of the Model Agency, Dont forget to check back for week 2 of our "The model agency" live blog!
Elite Models London, Uncategorized
If you follow this blog you probably have been wondering where I have been lately! This year I missed most of the LFW shows because I decided to spend some time interning at Elite Model Management. Prior to going there I didnt know what to expect. I had preconceived notions of Devil meets Prada with a twist of Ugly Betty. However it could not have been further from the truth. It was an amazing experience and everyone there was really warm and welcoming. It was like a big family (i.e. a really, really attractive family... lol).
I spent some time there in January and then returned there this past weekend for London Fashion Week.
Every day there was different; one day I could be running across London to get measurements from a model for Pam Hogg's show or dashing to get a portfolio from a fashion photographer. While there l got to meet supermodel Alana Zimmer when she popped into the office during fashion week (which was pretty cool).
In the picture (left) here I am with my new friend Morgan also a model at Elite. You can see even when she is not working she has her poses locked down. ( In my defense there was another camera going off! That is why I am not looking at the camera lol)
Overall a brilliant experience. Special thanks to everyone in the team especially Charlie and Fred!
Is it me... or is it getting warmer outside? It is soon time to throw off those winter coats and embrace fashion and clothes! God knows I can't wait! Flu season reaaaally needs to be over and I am not a big fan of the cold! (as you all know lol) But when the coats come off the style stakes go back up. Yes, spring is on its way and it is time to pick up a few wardrobe essentials... and the best place to start is with a new pair of jeans. ... Even better if you can get some designer denim like these light blue cotton straight leg "Hex Lena" jeans from Acne.
The seventies are making a reappearance in spring fashion trends. So maybe a cool relaxed pair like these "Made In Heaven - New York" jeans would be ideal to create that cool Charlie's Angel look I have been thinking about rocking this year... but as fit is everything I will be out and about looking for the perfect cut for me.
Burberry, Burberry Prorsum, Jourdan Dunn, Sacha M'Baye
Burberry Prorsum has just released their new campaign featuring British Models Sacha M'Baye and Jourdan Dunn. The ads were shot by Mario Testino on Brighton Beach. After having her baby Jourdan took a short hiatus from modelling but now she has cemented her return to modelling by shooting the Burberry campaign. 2011 is the year of Jourdan's return to the pinnacle of modelling!!!
After practically every issue of Love has featured a nude or partially nude cover model there was a lot of speculation that the latest issue of love was going to feature a nude Justin Bieber. Unfortunately for his minion of teenage fans this has turned out to be an untrue rumour. So while Justin Bieber's legion of fans will be disappointed by not getting to see Bieber naked the rest of the planet will breathe a sigh of relief as we have been spared.
Diego Diaz, Photographer Features, photography, Uncategorized
This is the latest editorial from fashion photographer, Diego Diaz Marin. The shoot is "Axarquic Lady" and features Diego's muse, Fabiola Gomez. Diego says the photos reflect his hometown, the feminity, culture and eccentricity"
Photographer Features, Remi Rebillard
I love Remi Rebillard's work because he has the ability to translate a story into a beautiful work of art. Remi Rebillard sent me this amazing editorial called "Doll Story". It is mind blowing, It brings the dolls of our childhood to life. It stars Kate Upton from IMG Models . The make up and hair was by Davide Calcinai with artist by by Timothy Priano.
More images from Doll Story by Remi Rebillard are after the jump.
Beatrix Ong, the accessories designer, has been bestowed the honour, Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) on Her Majesty The Queen's 2011 New Year's Honours List for services to the fashion industry.
Beatrix Ong, comments. "I feel delighted and humbled to be recognised for this honour. I love what I do, and this has come as such a lovely surprise and a wonderful start to the year!"
The 34 years old, launched her eponymous line in 2002 and was credited as one of the Top 10 Leading Shoe Designers by The Independent. Ong ha alsos collaborated with Nike, customising the Nike iD Blazer Trainers. In 2008 she launched menswear line, Ong London.
Socialite and model, Daisy Lowe is adding designer to her resume. She is collaborating with fashion retailer, Peacocks to launch a collection of retro inspired swimwear which she will also model, for summer 2011.
'Daisy Lowe for Peacocks' follows five collections designed by her mother Pearl Lowe.
Her swinwear range will launch in selected Peacocks' stores and online in May 2011.
The collection is inspired by French Riviera in the fifties, and iconic sex symbols, such as Sophia Loren and Bettie Page.
Daisy Lowe said: "It was important from the start that my designs were accessible so my friends could afford them, which is why we've kept the collection under £18. I've sought inspiration from the things I love, family holidays in Europe, iconic fifties pin ups and classic vintage shapes."
We cant wait for the collection but I think most of Daisy's friends could probably pay a lot more than £18 for a swimsuit.
Elizabeth Finn, Fearne Cotton, Tamara Ecclestone
Ever wanted to own a piece of Vivienne Westwood's wardrobe? Well now is your chance. Vivienne, Sienna Miller, Christy Bella Joiner, Tamara Ecclestone and Fearne Cotton are among celebrities who are donating their coats to the Wrap Up Against Poverty winter coat auction being held by Elizabeth Finn Care.
Its a win win situation. Not only can you boost your style credentials but you can help people in financial need buy essential winter clothing by bidding for one of numerous celebrity coats going under the hammer.
Get your Sky Plus Boxes set to record, The Model Agency, because this show could be our favourite guilty pleasure.
Premier Model Management have opened their doors to Channel 4 for a revealing, new, seven-part series on the modelling industry. The show gives a documentary style look at the one of London's Leading modelling agencies. "The show documents the high-octane world of The Model Agency, from Premier's booking desk to the scouts models, designers and photographers who pass through the doors, this series follows them all during the adrenaline-fuelled weeks of show season - in the office, at the fittings and on the catwalks of the Fashion Weeks in New York, Milan, Paris and, most crucially for this British agency, London." The series, coming soon to Channel 4, promises to give an intimate and revealing look at a very private world where youth, beauty and money rule, in an industry that is envied, scrutinised and criticised in equal measure. I can't wait for it.
I remember sitting down with my photographer/friend, Gene Keigel and discussing the future of fashion photography. He said that video would be used more frequently used . Well, he was most definitely correct as Balmain has released a special video via Nowness. Kate Moss is the star of a 3 minute long, behind the scenes video for Balmain. Kate Moss writhes around to the sounds of Everglade by Antony and the Johnsons. The video is behind the scenes footage of Kate Moss' AW 2010 Balmain campaign which was shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. While Kate changes her pose her hair changes colour and animations by Jo Ratcliffe are displayed on screen. It's a great way to spend the next 3 minutes of your life.

Pedagogy of the Oppressor
April 27, 2009
Sol Stern
The baleful influence of a Brazilian Marxist's book.
You might expect the required readings of U.S. teacher-training programs to contain good practical tips on classroom management or sensible advice on teaching, say, reading to disadvantaged students.
Instead, the one book that dominates reading lists in many education courses is "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" by the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire. The odd thing is that Mr. Freire's magnum opus isn't really about education - certainly not the education of children.
Mr. Freire's main idea is that the central contradiction of every society is between the "oppressors" and the "oppressed" and that revolution should resolve their conflict. The "oppressed" are, moreover, destined to develop a "pedagogy" that leads them to their own liberation. Mr. Freire never intends "pedagogy" to refer to any method of classroom instruction based on analysis and research, nor to any means of producing higher academic achievement for students. His theory of schooling refers only to the growing self-awareness of exploited workers and peasants.
One of Mr. Freire's few truly pedagogical points is his opposition to taxing students with any actual academic content, which he derides as "official knowledge" that serves to rationalize inequality within capitalist society.
He dismisses teacher-directed instruction as a misguided "banking concept" in which "the scope of action allowed to the students extends only as far as receiving, filing and storing the deposits."
Mr. Freire proposes instead that teachers partner with their coequals, the students, in a "dialogic" and "problem-solving" process until the roles of teacher and student merge into "teacher-students" and "student-teachers."
"Pedagogy of the Oppressed" resonated with progressive educators, already committed to a "child-centered" rather than a "teacher-directed" approach to classroom instruction.
Mr. Freire's rejection of teaching content knowledge seemed to buttress what was already the ed schools' most popular theory of learning, which argued that students should work collaboratively in constructing their own knowledge and that the teacher should be a "guide on the side," not a "sage on the stage." Mr. Freire reinforced another cherished myth of American progressive education: that traditional teacher-directed lessons left students passive and disengaged, leading to higher dropout rates for minorities and the poor.
During the last two decades, E.D. Hirsch's Core Knowledge schools have proved repeatedly not only that content-rich teaching raises the academic achievement of poor children on standardized tests, but also that those students remain curious, intellectually stimulated and engaged - although the education schools continue to ignore these successes.
Of course, the popularity of "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" wasn't due to its educational theory alone. During the 1970s, veterans of the student-protest and antiwar movements put down their placards and began their "long march through the institutions." Once in the academy, the leftists couldn't resist incorporating their radical politics into their teaching. Through a cadre of radical ed-school professors, the Freirean agenda came to K-12 classrooms as well, in the form of an expanding movement for "teaching for social justice."
To understand social-justice teaching, consider the career of Robert Peterson, who started out in the 1980s as a young elementary school teacher in inner-city Milwaukee. He applied the Freirean approach to his own fourth- and fifth-grade bilingual classrooms, "challenging the students to reflect on the social nature of knowledge and the curriculum."
He used the Freirean rationale to become his students' "self-appointed political conscience," even dragging them to political rallies. These days, Mr. Peterson is the editor of Rethinking Schools, the nation's leading publication for social-justice educators. The social-justice movement in math, as in other academic subjects, now has a foothold in just about every major education school in the country. Its dozens of pseudo-scholarly books, journals and conferences extol the supposed benefits of Freirean pedagogy for disadvantaged kids.
There's no evidence such pedagogy has had much success anywhere in the Third World. Moreover, China and Cuba - whose regimes Mr. Freire praised - never reformed their own "banking" approaches to education, in which the brightest students are controlled, disciplined and stuffed with content knowledge for the sake of national goals - and producing more industrial managers, engineers and scientists. Only in America's inner cities have Freirean educators been empowered to "liberate" poor children from an entirely imagined "oppression" and recruit them for a revolution that will never come.
Mr. Freire's ideas are harmful not just to students, but also to the teachers entrusted with their education. A broad consensus is emerging among education reformers that the best chance of lifting the academic achievement of children in the nation's inner-city schools is to raise dramatically the effectiveness of the teachers assigned to those schools.
However, if the quality of teachers is now the name of the game, it defies rationality that "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" still occupies an exalted place in training courses for those teachers, who will surely learn nothing about becoming better instructors from its discredited Marxist platitudes. Teachers who adopt its pernicious ideas risk harming their students - and ironically, their most disadvantaged students will suffer the most.

Spring 2013 Course Descriptions
English 3801 - Chaucer
Section 001 CRN 31626
Chaucer 1100-1215 TR
Hailed by John Dryden in 1700 as the "Father of English Poetry," Chaucer is still celebrated as the greatest of the medieval English poets. In fact, some critics find his work so self-aware, so perceptive, so invested in his characters' humanity that they prefer to consider him a Renaissance, rather than a medieval, writer and thinker. One project of this course will be to consider Chaucer's relation to his literary and social (to his medieval) contexts in order to ask how he responds to them; in what ways is he commenting on, manipulating, revising, and reflecting his world? As we ask these questions, examining Chaucer as an agent of his ideas, we will also be thinking about the poems as their own agents. Do these poems speak in ways that move beyond authorial intent? What do they say and how do they say it? All critical perspectives are welcome as we explore the rich and complex world of Chaucer's imagination. (Group 3D)

"The main criterion is to relieve traffic congestion," said Heba El-Guendy, Senior Transportation Planner for Contra Costa County.
A survey taken in April helped transportation officials determine that school busing should be available for the most congested areas and for parents who indicated they would use the busing. County officials worked with the Town of Danville and the school district on the survey.
About 2,600 families of the 20,000 in the district completed the survey.
"The ones they are rolling out are the worst of the worst, as far as congestion," said Gina Ferretti, south county field representative for District 3 Supervisor Mary N. Piepho.
Approximately eight routes per school would be available, and funds for the busing have already been allocated by the county.
The survey showed that after annual busing fees surpassed $200 per family, the community had less interest in using the service. That's one factor officials are giving consideration, El-Guendy said. Parents will pay for a percentage of the busing, which will likely be under $200 per year.
In June, school board trustees voted to stop providing busing to schools in the district, after determining not enough students used the service.
Home-to-school busing services operated at about $287,000 in the red for the district per year. To keep it going, the district found that families would have had to pay over $1,000 annually.
Alamo Community Council members said the county service would greatly help gridlock in Alamo in the morning and afternoon. And they explained that many parents still hold tight to the idea of driving their kids to school.
"It's really an issue of community attitude," said Mike Gibson, of Alamo Improvement Association.
Parents of elementary school children had the most concerns about the distance their children would need to walk to the bus stop.
"Young parents today are very concerned about kidnapping," said Diane Barley, of the Alamo Police Services committee.
"Overall, this is a safe area. But they don't see it that way. A person's perception of safety varies," El-Guendy said.
Of the parents surveyed, 88 percent said safety was their No. 1 priority when busing students to school, 79 percent cited reliability, and 52 percent said their family schedule was most important.
Other factors for determining routes included how much time the students spend on the bus, where students live, and physical constraints such as a lack of sidewalks.
"I've seen mothers drive their kids home a block and a half from school ... You're better off with your kid on a bus from an economic and pollution point of view," Alamo resident Smitty Schmidt said at the meeting.
Transportation officials have presented the survey to the Diablo MAC, the Alamo Community Council, Diablo Community Services District and the Blackhawk Home Owners Association.
The survey and county power point presentation can be viewed at the county Web site, www.co.contra-costa.ca.us/depart/cd/transportation.htm. Members of community groups should contact Steven L. Goetz at 335-1240 after viewing the survey to give feedback.

Ancestral Lines. Evolutionary biologists use a cladogram, the treelike diagram of evolutionary branches or clades, to organize species into lines of evolutionary descent across time.
Biologists use three types of evidence to deduce evolutionary connections: genetics, morphology, and geologic dating. (Behavior, normally a key part of evolutionary studies, can only be inferred in extinct species — for example, by examining the ecology in which the species flourished and the species adaptations for eating and locomotion.) Analyses of primate fossils and the genetic relatedness of living primates converge to the conclusion that humans and chimpanzees branched from a common ancestor about 7 million years ago.

Spanish and Portuguese simply use an English UI. jp meanshile crashes the application before the start screen on my machine. - so - Where are the supported languages listed? Thanks much, Drew

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Maine's court system is warning people of a phone scam that could land your personal information in the wrong hands.
Through something called "caller ID spoofing" the caller can make the call appear to come from any number, like a Maine courthouse.
Last week four people complained about getting a call from courthouses in Fort Kent, Bridgton, and Auburn, and the caller saying there was a warrant out for their arrest or an unpaid fine. In order to settle up, the caller asks the recipient to pay the fine over the phone using their credit card.
Mary Ann Lynch with the Maine Judicial Branch says the message here is: you can no longer trust your caller ID.
According to The Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009, which was signed into law in 2010, caller ID spoofing for the purposes of defrauding or otherwise causing harm is now illegal. Lynch says Maine State Police are currently investigating these calls.

If you've dabbled with the idea of becoming a vegetarian, the thought of never eating a cheeseburger again may have seemed daunting.
But if it's the potential health benefits–such as a lower risk of heart disease and certain cancers–you're after, doctors and health experts say you don't necessarily have to become a vegetarian to experience them.
"Would we all be better off if we dramatically reduced meat to the point of one meal a week? I would say yes," says Dr. Bob Lawrence, director of the Center for a Livable Future at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. "But the reality is that, from a public health perspective, if we just get some modest reductions in our intake of saturated fats, it'll have a big impact."
The American diet is high in meat consumption, says Lawrence, who works in association with the Meatless Monday Campaign, a national health campaign aimed at preventing heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer.
In 2000, total meat consumption, including red meat, poultry and fish, reached 195 pounds per person–57 pounds above the average annual consumption in the 1950s, according to the USDA Agriculture Fact Book, 2001-2002, the latest version. In all, Americans consumed about 7 pounds more red meat, 46 pounds more poultry and 4 pounds more fish and shellfish than in the 1950s.

The goal of Meatless Monday is to help people reduce their consumption of saturated fat 15% by 2010, which translates to cutting out meat and high-fat dairy one day a week.
What's In It For You
Eating foods that contain high levels of saturated fats raises your cholesterol and your risk of heart disease and stroke, according to the American Heart Association.
Lawrence has been following the premise for years. While he still eats meat when it's served at a dinner party, when he has a choice he opts for fish, or pasta in marinara rather than a thick cream sauce.
"This isn't a plea for people to become vegetarians," Lawrence says. "It's a plea to use the beginning of the week as a stimulus to reflect and say, 'OK, I've overdone it this weekend. Now I need to get back on a better diet and think about my health.' "
Research has shown other benefits to watching your meat intake–particularly the well-done variety, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Cooking certain meats at high temperatures may produce chemicals that are experimental animal carcinogens and are believed to be potential human carcinogens. Other studies have shown that high intakes of well-done, fried or barbecued meats may increase the risk of developing colorectal and potentially breast cancer.
"Meat needs to be cooked enough to kill E. coli or salmonella, but if you eat a lot of charred, burnt meat, it's very likely to be unhealthy," says Robert Turesky, a biochemical toxicologist with the Wadsworth Center, New York State Department of Health.

If you're thinking about cutting back on meat, start by watching your portion sizes.
Amy Jamieson-Petonic, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association and an employee wellness manager for the Cleveland Clinic, says many people don't realize that the body can't store protein. If you consume more than you need, you'll just eliminate it through your urine and put an extra strain on your kidneys to metabolize it.
Jamieson-Petonic recommends limiting portions of meat to 3 to 4 ounce servings. It might be difficult at first, but try making the change gradually, with the goal of reducing meat to a quarter of your dinner plate. Fill another quarter with whole grains, and the other half with vegetables or fruit.
"Some of these restaurants are offering 24-ounce steaks," she says. "That's much too much."

2003 F250 Remote start: Wait to start light/door trigger
I've been reading up on the remote start diagrams and such for my 03 F250 and I am trying to figure out what the deal is with the wait to start light? I used to work as a car installer years ago and don't remember this being an issue, but then again, maybe I did not install one into a Ford diesel.
So can I hook up to a wait to start light/wire in the cluster? Or am I forced to use the delay option in the remote start? I would prefer to use some sort of wait to start indication from the truck so that the key on period will adjust according to need.
Also, I'm finding conflicting info on the door triggers. If I have a GEM module, can I still use the one wire in the kick panel? Or will I need to go to each door and diode isolate? I recall having to do a bunch of isolating for the door triggers on my brother's 03 Ranger.
Any info appreciated; Thanks
Well, since nobody answered and this has had over 100 views, I guess I should post a follow-up.
I completed my alarm/remote start install this weekend. No problems, it was actually one of the easier installs I've done.
It looks like I do not have to worry about a GEM module in my truck. I found some notes stating to find out if I have a GEM, lock the doors using my remote (or from the door switch would work too, I suppose), wait 5-10 minutes and then reach in and try to unlock by pressing the door lock switch. If it unlocks with one press, I do not have a GEM.
So I went ahead with the assumption that I have no GEM module. My door trigger wire was in the passenger kick panel (Black/blue, + trigger). This worked for all 4 doors. The only issue is that there is a delay on the domelight after you shut the doors (about 20 seconds). I just programmed my alarm to ignore that input right after arming, so not really a big deal.
On my brother's Ranger the GEM module would set off the alarm after 45 minutes, which is why I was asking about the GEM and door triggers. I've had none of that go on either.
For the wait to start, I ended up using the timer setting in my alarm, set to 15 seconds. After reading about the potential damage to the vehicle, I just decided it's not worth the risk. 15 seconds should cover all conditions.
Also, the door locks on my truck were negative trigger because I had a factory keyless entry. Some of the documentation states to get those at the module in the center of the dash. It's kind of a pain to get to those wires, so I checked the driver's side kick panel and found the same wire colors there.
That's about it, if anyone has questions, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer.
1: Factory immobilizer bypass - not needed in a 2003 as there is no factory anti-theft "chip in key"
2: Low tachometer signal - some diesels may need this if the signal output is not strong enough for the alarm (I did not need one on my 2003). This may also have to do with the alarm brand.
As for the wait to start delay, any good alarm/remote start should have this built into the unit. If it does not, I would buy something that does. Why spend another $90 on something that could be built in?
The GEM module, if you happen to have one, should be a matter of wiring. If the installer is unable to figure this out, find someone competent to do the job.
The alarm/remote start I used is a Python 513; I bought it on sale from Sonicelectronix.com for $85, regular price is around $100. It's a good brand, made by DEI, they also make Viper, Clifford, Hornet, Avital, and a bunch of other brands. Does that answer your questions?
I've done a lot of remote starts over the years (the first one I did was around 1996) and my Ford was one of the easiest I've done. It's not that difficult for someone who knows what they are doing and probably only moderately difficult for someone who can figure out how to test and hook up some wiring.

As for the tech I couldn't imagine a 2003 needing one of those as long as the quality of the alarm is good. The wait to start is built in to the one that I was looking at, it has a diesel mode so it should be good to go for that.
The shop I talked to has nothing but good reviews and they seem to know what they are talking about but I think I need to go visit and talk in person to make sure.
I was looking at a viper kit, I think they 4103 and 5101 (I will have to double check those numbers). My cousin bought his 04 f250 with it pre installed and it was a very nice feature.
You did answer all of my questions and some lol. I could probably figure out how to do it myself but I don't really have the place or tools unless I go home to visit my parents (I'm away for school) and if I get this shop to do it, I believe they lifetime warranty their work. People rave about their service so I don't know.
Thanks for all of your insight, I'll go down and school them on some stuff and see what they say lol.
My RAZR made me send this...
my installer took forever to get my remote start going and spent hours on the phone with DEI and it took some modules as did my 2005 GM
mine uses a time delay the wait to start light apparently doesn't like to be tied into ?
also it seems if done incorrectly you can have automatic transmission damage if a signal isn't sent to the proper contact the trucks will be running but the transmission doesn't know that and can have a lubrication issue ( I have read this a few times but have no idea if it is true ?)
it's not a big deal 20 seconds is fine ,, I can also change it with a dei bitwriter anytime
you all have a GEM module by the way see this link http://blog.autopartscheaper.com/?p=38
the 12 volt.com is a good resource
Last edited by ZMANN; 11-09-2012 at 06:44 AM.
My cousins truck waited 30 seconds then started but I feel that is to long so 20 seconds would be good.
The transmission thing make me worry a little bit. I will definitely have to ask this shop about that. I haven't heard this before but it is definitely a concern.
Thanks for that link, its sweet
My RAZR made me send this...
I don't remember what modules .. when I pulled this out of my GM I had about three
they can change the time I actually just bought the bitwriter off of ebay so I can do programming myself with out trying to listen to chirps and stuff using the manual method
I was a little nervous at first about the trany but mine has been fine for years ,, and may have just been a wives tale?
As for the GEM, if I had one, my alarm would probably be false alarming on me due to the pulse that's sent out by it. Or, different styles of GEM exist that may interact differently (probably more likely), which then makes the issue not do I have a GEM, but will it cause a problem?. Either way, I did nothing to address a GEM on my install and have not had any issues with the alarm at all, so it does not matter for my 2003. Your truck may be a little different than an 03, like everyone else, I'm sure Ford was adding some complexities as time went on.
I've read the same stuff about tying into the wait to start light, so I agree, probably best to play it safe using the timer. I set mine to 15 seconds using the chirps method, but bitwriter is definitely nice to have.

As long as it is a reputable shop that will 100% back up their work, you should be fine. Hopefully all of their installers are on the same page as far as quality. I've seen some really bad stuff over the years that people thought was "quality". I came from a big city and installed alarms almost every day, so my perspective was different from the people I worked with when I moved out west. Back home, alarms were our bread and butter, out here they were secondary to stereo systems. Any other questions, feel free to ask. This forum has been great in helping me out with my mechanical issues. I'm happy to be able to pass that along in any way that I can.

I dunno, I think she wasn't that attached to you to begin with if she just let it go after that. If she was attached to you, she would have made your life a bltch for ignoring her AND THEN breaking up with her until she either got in trouble or had an epiphany. Or perhaps she learned from her past relationships she really shouldn't let it go that far.
Your method was only successful because she wasn't heavily attached to you yet, and because she wasn't, the distance you implemented did help decrease the attachment. This method could actually backfire on you if you're not careful in the future.
If it were me, my BF's intentions to purposely ignore me would be the cause of my shitty behavior, unless I wasn't that into him. Of course, being honest is going to hurt and I'm not going to respond merrily, but that should be expected and normal. I'd rather him be prompt than string me along like a bltch.
The last guy I formed an attachment to, I kinda revealed shitty things about him on a forum we both frequented because he just abruptly stopped communicating with me with no evidence of empathy or apology. It wasn't slander, it was all factual, but it wasn't right and I wish I had controlled my emotions better. We're actually still friends now and play LoL together from time to time. I no longer feel anything for him at all and he doesn't hold what I had done against me.
Don't ever date me.
To be fair, I believe most, if not all, people on the planet are capable of extreme reactions if given the proper stimulus. Most people are only exempt from such behavior because they've never been presented the opportunity or haven't experienced the equation that formulates such behavior.

How do I turn off signatures while reading?
Haha yeah, we were a pretty terrible match. I was at a point of "anyone is better than no one" and settled. Like I said, anyone knows I'm definitely not that kind of person. My relationships tend to end with me high and dry because I was TOO accessible. But whatevs. It's oister solo time and I'm just gonna ride it out for a bit. If I end up a male cat lady, I'll be a cool one. LOL.
That last one turned my cynical bitterness up to 11. I'm burnt out on trying and focusing on my work grind. Not as fun but I gotta do it eventually :P
neglect and lack of communication

At the Time of Admission to the College:
Some new students (either first year or transfer) declare their interest in Public Justice when admitted to the College and become Public Justice majors at that time. Those students are automatically admitted to the major and do not need to do any additional paperwork. You should, however, check your MyOswego account to make sure you are a declared PBJ major.
Internal Transfer into Public Justice:
Other students decide to declare Public Justice after they have been admitted to SUNY Oswego in another major program or as undecided students. These students may apply for admission to the Public Justice major after the completion of 30 semester hours of college work. In order to declare Public Justice as a major (or second major), students must complete the Declaration of Major form (available from the Public Justice Department) and return it to the Advisement Coordinator. Students must be in good standing (cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better) to be eligible to apply for admission to the major. Admission to the program is competitive and is based upon the applicant's cumulative grade point average, success in basic courses supporting the program, and the number of available openings in any given year.
Since Public Justice is an multidisciplinary program, interested first and second year students are advised to concentrate on fulfilling their General Education requirements and to begin work in the major by enrolling in the appropriate introductory level courses in the social and behavioral sciences.
Transfer Students
Transfer students be aware that, regardless of how many Public Justice-related courses you have taken elsewhere, most of your courses for the Public Justice major must be taken at Oswego. As noted earlier, all Public Justice majors must take 5 core courses and 21 hours of Public Justice-related electives. Students transferring from two-year schools may apply a maximum of 6 hours of lower-division credit (typically, 2 courses) and the equivalent of PBJ 101 ( and PBJ 201, if they have taken an equivalent course) towards these requirements. The typical transfer student from a 2 year Criminal Justice program transfers the equivalent of PBJ 101 and 2 Public Justice electives toward their Public Justice major. Students may transfer no more than 6 semester hours of lower-division Public Justice electives. Additional criminal justice courses count as credits toward graduation, but not toward completing the major. This means that transfer students must take at least PBJ 301, PBJ 397, PBJ 401, and 15 hours of upper-division Public Justice-related electives here at Oswego. All transfer students are required to complete at least 42 upper division credits in order to graduate.
Transferring the equivalent of PBJ 201: You can get transfer credit for PBJ 201 only if you have taken a course that is the equivalent of our PBJ 201 course (Survey of American Non-Criminal Law). That means that you must demonstrate to the Public Justice Department that you have taken and completed a 3-credit course that dealt exclusively with non-criminal law and focused primarily on reading and analysis of judicial opinions. To get credit for PBJ 201, you must provide at least a course description and a syllabus for the course that you completed. No student will be given transfer credit for PBJ 201 without approval of the Public Justice Department. If you are transferring 62 credits from a two-year college, you do not need to transfer in PBJ 201 in order to complete your degree in four semesters; therefore, we will only accept transfer credit for PBJ 201 in cases in which the student has, in fact, completed an equivalent course at another college.
Please Note:
All courses taken at a community college are lower-division courses. That means that a transfer student with a two-year degree must expect to complete 15 semester hours of upper division Public Justice electives at SUNY Oswego, as well as the remaining required core courses, plus enough other courses numbered 300 and above to earn 42 upper division credits. Transfer students should consult the College Catalog for transfer credit policies. You should be aware that most of the required Public Justice courses must be completed at Oswego and not at another institution. PBJ 301, PBJ 397, and PBJ 401 must be taken at SUNY Oswego.
Students attending two-year colleges are strongly urged to take courses in subjects outside their proposed SUNY Oswego major, particularly in the areas of mathematics, natural sciences, and humanities. This will help fulfill your General Education requirements, which all SUNY Oswego students must do. (See the section on General Education requirements. For additional information, see the current College Catalog.) You should also be careful not to re-take at Oswego courses that you have already taken at another school. You can only get credit for a course once, even if the first course was lower-division and the second was upper-division.
Incoming transfer students are urged to register for their Fall semester courses at the earliest possible date. Students entering SUNY Oswego in the fall semester are strongly urged to participate in the summer advisement and registration program in order to take advantage of access to available courses.
**Please see the Advisement Coordinator for internal transfers into the Public Justice major. All forms for this process may be obtained through the Public Justice Department Office (446 Mahar Hall).

French Minor and Coursework
France, one of the "old" countries of Europe, has played and continues to play a major economic and political role in the world. A member of the UN, NATO, UNESCO, the International Labor Bureau, the Council of Europe, the European Union and more, France also exerts a strong cultural influence in the world and is a leading trading nation, excelling in areas such as food, wine, fashion, aviation, public transportation, military industry, medicine, science and technological innovations.
The influence of the French language extends well beyond its borders. French, the second truly global language after English, is spoken not only in Europe but in parts of the US and across its border in Canada (Québec and the other provinces), South America, Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia and the Pacific. French is the 3rd most frequently spoken non-English language in US homes and the second most commonly taught foreign language in the United States (after Spanish).
French is the third largest of the Romance languages in terms of number of native speakers, after Spanish and Portuguese, being spoken by about 109 million people as a mother tongue, and altogether by some 264 million people (including second-language speakers and learners). French is thus the 10th most spoken language in the world by number of native speakers, and 5th in terms of daily speakers. It is an official language in 29 countries. French is also an official or administrative language in several communities and international organisations (such as the European Union, International Olympic Committee, World Trade Organization, FINA, FIA, World Anti-Doping Agency, United Nations, African Union, International Court of Justice, Internation Secretariat for Water, International Association of Political Science, International Bureau of Weights and Measures, European Broadcasting Union, Universal Postal Union, Interpol and so on) and one of the six working languages of the United Nations.
A knowledge of French language and French and Francophone cultures offers assets to students interested in various fields of study such as politics, international relations, literature, history, philosophy, psychology, the arts, cinema, fashion, medicine and business.
The French have had a long standing relationship with the United States, from Revolutionary times to the present. In the Delaware Valley, these ties are still present, whether it be through Ben Franklin, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Rodin Museum or the architecture of various buildings and avenues in Philadelphia and the region that reflect French style. Our region is also the site of French speaking people from various countries, a bilingual French-American school and numerous French firms implanted here, as the French-American Chamber of Commerce, the largest of the 14 bi-national chambers of commerce in the region, evidences (there are at least 2,400 French subsidiaries in the US, providing more than 500, 000 direct jobs. US subsidiaries in France provide about 580, 000 direct jobs), not forgetting delightful eating places and "pâtisseries".
Thinking of going abroad? France remains the first destination for tourism in the world and Paris the most visited city.
All language courses are oral-intensive (with additional hours required in the Language Laboratory) and all include individual oral examinations at the end of each term. In Western languages, enrollments are limited to 15 to 18 students in the first three years of study; fourth-year courses use a seminar format, with a usual enrollment of four to eight students.
Minor in French: 24.0 credits
French Course Descriptions
There are many opportunities to take your Drexel experience beyond Philadelphia. Studying or working abroad will change your perspective of the world, other cultures, and even yourself. You'll develop new strengths and understandings as you step outside of your "comfort zone" and into a great adventure!

It's really hard for us to get a flattering nude lippy because most are too light, and that could make us look like corpses. Most of the recs for WOC are shades of brown, and that's not really a nude lip. So what is your favourite? It must be hard for everyone, not just me, and I thought we could share our finds. I only have 2 or 3 nude lippies, and they're ok, but not perfect

Does anyone have experience with this machine? I have a Singer 401a Slant-o-Matic and was looking for another machine for a backup. Joann's has them on sale now for $169.00 until the 23rd of Nov. I seen a thread here on BPL that they were selling on ebay for $148.95 for a refurbished one, for the extra $20.00 I'll buy a new one, if it's a decent machine. The YouTube video shows a guy sewing from one layer all the way up to 16 layers without any hesitation, it even sewed through a wooden yard stick without missing a beat. Just wanted to see if anyone has used one, and if so what they liked or disliked about the machine. Thanks, Jack
Edited by jumpbackjack on 11/15/2011 22:00:07 MST.
They have them on Amazon.com for $129http://www.amazon.com/SINGER-4423-Heavy-Sewing-Machine/dp/B003VWXZQ0
I too saw the 4423 at Joann's yesterday for $169.99 on sale. Came home to find the same machine at Amazon and Newegg for $129.99. After struggling with my mom's hand-me-down Kenmore Model 1937 Zig*-Zag and how it seems to snap thread or not advance on thicker fabric near tie-outs, I think I'm in the market for a burlier machine. After watching the Youtube videos mentioned where a yard stick is successfully sewn I know that it won't have troubles with tough fabrics. How will it do for extremely thin/slippery fabrics such as 1.1oz silnylon or even 20D/10D/8D/7D fabrics? Can it do both with ease or is this machine more suited for sewing denim and canvas?
Yeah, the YouTube videos are pretty crazy. If this machine can do all that, I'm in for one, just wish someone on here could give me some hands on feed back on how they actualy do work.
Some pretty unflattering reviews on Amazon.I would not buy a SingerMy kids have a new Singer and it is a POS They are not the machines they once were.
I have one of the singer HD machines. Overall it's not a bad machine, but I am not a huge fan of the feed on it. It seems to not like thinner fabrics and hates silnylon. I hate the pedal control. It is way too stiff and has very little space between not moving and full speed. If I were in the market I would try to find a local sewing machine repair shop and get their input based on what you want to use it for. That may not be an option, but give it a shot if possible. Like many things, you get what you pay for with these machines.

Terrence Ross Picks the Huskies (UPDATED); Duke Adds 2011 Big Man Tyler Adams
Terrence Ross, the No. 10 shooting guard in the Class of 2010, is off the board.
The 6-foot-5 Ross has decided to commit to Washington, the school he takes an official to Monday.
"I am going to Washington because of the great relationship I have with the team and coaches. I thought it would be the best choice for me and I would fit in with the team," Ross told ZAGSBLOG contributor Alex Kline via Facebook.
Ross, The Oregonian Class 5A Player of the Year in 2008, chose Washington over Kansas, Kentucky, Oregon and Oklahoma.
Ross is a teammate of 6-8 Portland Jefferson forward Terrence Jones, who visited Kansas on Sunday. Jones also lists Washington, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Oregon and UCLA.
Could the two end up together with the Huskies?
"I mean I talk to him about it and try to tell him we would be nice together but the decision is up to him," Ross said.
According to Scout.com, Duke got a commitment Sunday night from Tyler Adams, a 6-8, 250-pound junior center from Brandon (Miss.) High.
Adams is ranked No. 10 among centers and No. 81 overall in the Class of 2011 by Rivals. He reportedly chose the Blue Devils over Clemson, Alabama, Memphis and Mississippi State.
He joins wing Michael Gbinije in the Blue Devils' 2011 class.

- Home
- About
- On-Site Training
- New iPad? Start Here
- Apps
Jurors want Atticus Finch, not Bill Gates. At trial, the evidence – not the gadgets – are the main attraction. However, jurors are also accustomed to obtaining information on television and online.
How can you balance juror expectations? Use technology sparingly. That's why I like the iPad's potential for presentations. It's inconspicuous at counsel table, yet apps such as Keynote ($9.99), TrialPad ($89.99), and Exhibit A ($9.99) allow you to display exhibits during trial.
Here are five tips for presenting with Keynote.
Tip #1: Build a Presentation
Select a template:
Select a slide:
Insert text, photographs, or animation:
On your iPad, you can import a presentation by emailing it yourself or saving it to Dropbox, then selecting "Open-in Keynote." You can import PowerPoint (.ppt), Keynote (.key), or PDF files, all of which display in Keynote.
As Utah attorney Peter Summerill demonstrates, you can upload .pdf files of your documents to store and display exhibits during testimony.
Tip #2: Headlines, Not Essays
It's best not include more than 10-15 words on a PowerPoint/Keynote slide. Faced with blocks of information to read, jurors will (1) tune out, or (2) struggle mightily while ignoring whatever you or the witness is saying. Keynote lets you create bullet points and lists in its formatting options.
Tip #3: Plug-in
You will need an HDMI Adapter or VGA Adapter to connect to your courtroom's display. Hopefully, your courtroom is equipped with a flat screen monitor or drop-down screen. If not, it is worth investing in an inexpensive flat-panel monitor, such as here or here.
When you plug-in, Keynote will recognize that it is connected to a device and will display your presentation.
Tip #4: Go Wireless
As I discussed here, you can wirelessly present exhibits in court via AirPlay, a technology that allows your iPad to transmit photographs or documents to an Apple TV that is connected to a projector or display monitor. Although Keynote does not support Airplay (yet), iPad 2 users can take advantage of mirroring via an HDMI cable or Apple TV with iOS 5. Until then, check out Air Presenter (Free) if you are interested in wirelessly presenting exhibits.
Tip #5: Use the Remote
As of two weeks ago, the Keynote Remote ($0.99) now allows you to use your iPhone or iPod Touch to control your Keynote presentation on your iPad during trial. It appears the pleas and protests of attorneys who carry an iPad but wanted a remote have finally been answered. This is a useful feature whether you are a criminal defense lawyer in Roanoke VA, a divorce lawyer in Roanoke VA, or any other trial practice.
On your iPhone or iPod Touch, download the Keynote Remote app and select Keynote Link. On your iPad, open your presentation and select Tools>Settings>Remote, and enable your remote. You will need to enter the four-digit password that was provided on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
For questions, comments, or help using the Apple iPad at work, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

5 Responses to App Review: 5 Tips for Attorneys Using Keynote App at Trial
John says:
Great stuff, Rob. This is a very helpful and concise summary of apps and the necessary hardware.
Kelly Vandever says:
Rob – Helpful information. I definitely will be following the links and learning more about the ideas you've shared. Thanks for sharing.
However, I respectively disagree with having as many as 10 – 15 words on a single slide.
Research on multimedia by Richard Mayer out of the University of California in Santa Barbara indicates that learners retain information better when the media show pictures and two or three words per slide than if they either have no words or contain everything that the speaker is saying. I think the same assumptions can be extrapolated to any presentation, including those done for juries, for the very reasons you mention in Tip #2.
I believe your jurors will process the information better by shooting for one point per slide with two or three words (rather than just trying to keep it to under 15 words).
Thanks again for sharing!
Rob Dean says:
@John Thank you for the kind comments.
@Kelly I think we agree about keeping slides concise; the shorter, the better. Great idea to include photos to help jurors remember your presentation during deliberations.
