These jeggings are great. I bought them for work, so I was pleased to see that the material is more like chinos than jeans, and very soft and comfortable. They do come up a little big - I was being optimistic buying the size 6 but they fit (I normally wear an 8).

A brilliant bargain! These maternity jeggings are great, you don't have to be pregnant, if you have a big tummy, but slim legs, these are ideal, so comfortable!

Having read the other reviews I was really hopeful that I may have finally found a pair of trousers to fit well in the latter pregnancy weeks. Yes, they are a nice material and quality but these jeggings suffer from a major issue for more pregnant ladies, same problem as I have had with some JJMB bootcut jeans. The material of the jeggings cuts into the bump at the point where it joins with the stretchy jersey upper. This makes them fine for walking around in but most uncomfortable when sitting down. As I bought these at a reduced price I will most likely keep them anyway as I think they will be great for accommodating a post baby bump until I can get back in my normal clothes but if you are in the latter months of your 3rd trimester I would think twice if you wish to wear these when pregnant.

These are the best pants I have ever bought and I would highly recommend them to first time mums who are not sure what to buy. They are not SUPER tight around my legs which I love and they stay in place and dont ride down when bending, cooking, driving, shopping, picking things up and more! Definately my best purchase so far and would buy 5 more pairs! Super comfy and not too hot and can wear them in cooler weather! Thanks!

Loved these, very comfy , and had been struggling to find a smart trouser that's slim enough to go in boots! (And I'm anti leggings!) great purchase
on 13 June 2014
These trousers are great, I'm between sizes at the moment, so ordered both the 12 and 14. I decided to keep both :-) the 12 fits perfectly now and I think as my bump gets bigger (week 21) the 14 will be incredibly comfy!
Great buy! I wish they also came in a lighter, summery colour!
on 11 June 2014
Lovely comfy trousers, will be smart enough for work. Although I'm normally a size 8-10 I'm trousers I chose size 6 as wore clothes from jojo maman during previous pregnancy and found their sizes generous. They are quite long but easy to take up.

Lovely trousers, very confortable and soft

on 07 June 2014
Ordered a size 10 which fitted (my pre-pregnancy size was 10-12), however these were a bit baggy around the crotch area for me!
on 02 June 2014
Finally maternity trousers that are true to size (if anything a bit on the bigger side) that fit well and are really comfortable! So sick of only finding leggings or trousers that fall down all the time!! Chuffed to bits I bought them in every colour!!
on 30 May 2014
These are lovely trousers. I ordered a size 8 (my pre pregnancy size) and they fit perfectly on the legs and bottom. The only problem I've had is that the elastic around the top of the bump band was very tight. I had to cut the elastic and add in a piece of material to extend it. This worked fine and was easy to do. I'm currently 26 weeks and have had these since 20 weeks.

I am a size 12 - 14 so purchased both sizes to try out. The 12 was a bit tight over my bump so opted for the 14 and they are the most comfy pair of maternity pants ever and they can be worn for smart of casual. Love these, I am tempted to continue wearing them after baby arrives. Buy them - at £14 they are a bargain and I have worn mine loads already.
on 22 May 2014
Great pair of trousers more like chino material (but a bit thicker!) good fit and quality and have washed really well! Would reccomend!!
Liz Vickers
on 22 May 2014
these are really comfy, and actually stay up, unlike other maternity trousers I have. Definitely a bargain at the sale price, these will be a staple of my maternity wardrobe!
on 20 May 2014
Really nice work trousers. Slim fit rather than skinny and definately need to size down. Wish there were still some black ones available!
on 15 May 2014
Fab trousers for work. Lovely slim leg. Perfect with a floaty top and ballet pumps! I bought in blue & black. Do need a gentle iron after washing. Fading slightly on washing, a bit like jeans do, so not ultra smart.
on 09 May 2014
Fits well over the bump, but VERY baggy on the legs. It's made of a thick cotton, almost jean like material. So if you're looking for slim fit, don't choose these!
on 08 May 2014
These are nice. The sizes seem to come up a bit big - mine don't fit yet, but I expect they might do later.

Really comfy. Great for work and home, with long or short tops

Love these trousers - so comfortable and smart too! Great for summer or winter as these are very light.
on 08 April 2014
I really like these jeggings. It fits nicely. I bought two!
on 02 April 2014
Don't be put off by the Jeggings title! These are simply a great, super comfy pair of smart black trousers. The only thing they have in common with a pair of leggings is their comfort! I am about to order another pair in navy.
on 28 March 2014
Received this jeggings yesterday. Absolutely love them! I've ordered them in size 6 (I'm size 8) and pleased that Jojo sizes a bit bigger than usual.
Thanks for all other reviews i've chosen the correct size. Hopefully my will be as well helpful as others.
P. S. It was not my first purchase from Jojo,they are provide an amazing quality and service!
Anna Haggarty

Love these! They must be my best buy yet! Look nice and smart and can be dressed up or dressed down depending on occasion. Would recommend.

These really are super soft and comfy and I loved them once I found the right size (they really do come up big). Unfortunately they will be going back as they don't stay up.

These trousers are really useful and make a nice change from wearing leggings the whole time. I would advise buying the size you would usually buy when not pregnant. I bought aubergine and they were a bit brighter than I expected, but still nice and really good with ankle boots.
on 07 October 2013
As stated previously these are not proper jeggings. Which is fab as I do not suit jeggings, rather straight legged trousers. I bought them on the basis of the other reviews. I'm a size 10 pre pregnancy and I would say these are a very generous 10. I'm 16weeks so I expect as my bump expands there is plenty of growing room. They were a little long but look well rolled up with pumps or boots. So comfy, good fabric.
on 26 September 2013
Fairly comfy but kept falling down around the crotch and waist.
Nicky Novis
on 13 September 2013
Great leggings- really comfy and good fit...so much so I have ordered them in the Auvergne colour. Can see these lasting all through pregnancy and beyond.
on 11 September 2013
I returned these as I didn't like the fit. They're a much looser fit than I consider jeggings to be, like someone else I found them loose from the knee down and quite unflattering.
on 05 September 2013
Lovely pair of jeggings - just like my pre pregnancy ones but with a lot more room for bump to grow - can see this being a must have piece of maternity clothing!
on 28 June 2013
I really love these jeggings. I bought for my last trimester and have been living in it since. My baby is now 3 months old and just so comfortable that be definitely wearing it for a long time.
on 12 June 2013
I was really disappointed with these jeggings - it must be said they are considerably more "narrow trouser" than a legging or skinny jean. The colour and fabric is appealing and they would be nice as a summer trouser, possibly worn with a turn up.
Sadly they were too short and too tight for me so had to be returned :(
on 23 May 2013
Great jeans - not too tight in the lower leg for those looking for a slim leg without them looking sprayed on!
Clare H
on 12 May 2013
Great trousers, great waist band, can be dressed up or down, though a little long for someone who is 5'2 so need to be turned up for me. Overall a good find.
on 03 February 2013
Following the side guide I'm an 8 and that's exactly what I bought when I tried these on in store. I'm 5'6 and the length is fine with a little gathering at the ankle but I'd prefer this than them being too short. They aren't super tight down the legs and I prefer them like this with a little give to move. I'm 19 weeks and agree with others that where the elastic band sits on the bump is not the most comfy so I fold it down to sit under the bump. Only time will tell how far through pregnancy I'll be able to wear them with the band the way it is. There is a bit of gathering where the trousers meet the stretchy band below my bump so I think having some elastic here would help rather than higher up. Overall I'm pleased with them, they look good under longer tops/tunics such as JoJo's gathered maternity tops and I plan to wear them with boots. Despite not being perfect the fit is the best in the alternatives I've tried. I have them in black so suitable for work, casual or going-out and might also get the navy for weekends.
on 25 January 2013
bought these is in black and navy, pleased with everything except the elastic came away from the twill on the navy ones so I sent it back and thankfully JoJo sent me another pair but sadly its happened to the second pair....
on 01 January 2013
these aren't the most flattering trousers but fit me better than many other maternity trousers. I don't think they will fit me until the end though.
on 09 December 2012
These jeggings are an odd shape. They fit really well down to the knee and then go straight to the ankle- they dont follow the shape of the calf at all- more like straight trousers than jeggings. I bought a large as I am normally a size 14 and I'm 5'8. I knew the length would be a little short but I bought them with the idea of wearing with boots so that wouldn't matter but the 'baggy legs' will mean I will be returning them. Shame.
Sarah Church
on 30 November 2012
I did not like these at all and sent them back. Weird shape and way too big.
on 30 November 2012
These look fab and the fabric is lovely and soft. They're more like skinny jeans than jeggings, but that's just what I wanted. Great with pumps or boots. I have found the band a bit tight across the middle of my bump, maybe because it's a bit short or maybe just because I'm 35 wks (delivery of these jeans was delayed by a couple of months). I'm going to try wearing the band under my bump next time and see if that helps.
Vicky Grant
on 29 November 2012
Funny how they're either too long or too short for everyone! They're too short for me so where them in boots...but that's fine! Also they are quite stetchy so do need pulling up. but so far the most comfy pair of maternity trousers bought and the black looks smart tucked into boots, dressed up or down depending on what top you wear it with. Very handy!
on 02 November 2012
I bought both the navy and black version of these trousers. I am very small in bump size compared to others and finding any trousers that fit has been impossible. These are the only ones that didn't fall down constantly, fit nicely and are really comfy! These are great if you have a smaller bump and struggling to find anything which fits! Other revews have said they grow with you as well.
on 01 November 2012
I love the fabric and fit of these trousers - really stretchy and flattering. I'm wearing them to work loads. However I have to disagree with other reviewers who say they don't need pulling up - I have to pull these up all the time! The elastic waistband is "over or under the bump" which means it goes smack across your belly button - very strange and not very comfortable on 18 wks bump. They should have made the band 4 inches longer, like Seraphine trousers, then it would stay up. I'm still glad I have these, but won't buy any more. If they had a better band I'd buy 3 pairs!
on 25 October 2012
Great jeggings! However, delivery takes a long time!
on 08 October 2012
These are a fabulous fit and very flattering. The over-bump band is very comfortable and the trousers don't need constant hoisting up. The only downside is the nature of the fabric (and the colour) mean that these trousers seem to attract lint. However as long as you have a lint roller handy and don't wear them with fluffy tops this shouldn't be an insurmountable issue
on 04 October 2012
These are really comfy and flattering - nice worn with long boots for autumn. Ended up buying both the blue and black versions.
on 13 September 2012
These were too long for me and gathered around the ankles - I'm 5'4 and usually have a normal length in trousers. Also wish there was free returns policy as it cost me a lot to return all these clothes.
Mrs Khan
on 12 September 2012
Lovely fit, very comfy. Am 5 months gone and these are perfect for work and non-work and unlike my non-JoJo maternity jeans, they actually stay up without me having to pull at them.
on 11 September 2012
Amazing! After having my little one via C section, these were so comfortable. 10/10
Penny McElhinney
on 05 September 2012
Quite long (but I'm quite short) but a flattering fit. Would be good if these could be offered in a choice of leg lengths but overall I'm pleased with my purchase
on 31 August 2012
These are by far the best maternity jeans/leggins/trousers I have bought. I'm pregnant for the second time in a year (currently 7 months pregnant) and a size 14 - so not small - larger ladies don't be put off by the title "jeggings" - they are just snug-ish fitting, stretchy jeans - as I am conscious about the size of my legs I ordered them a size up (a 16) so they'd be a bit looser fitting - I live in them -they are comfy, don't fall down like a lot of maternity trousers, great quality, look smart, wash well - what more can I say.
Mrs Bins
on 22 August 2012
These arrived in blue today and I love them. I'm petite = short and they're too long but the material is of such good quality they just fold under and stay. Ordering them in black as I know they will be my wardrobe staple!
on 26 July 2012
I bought these early on in my pregnancy and they fitted right the way through. I had my baby a month ago and am still wearing them because they are more comfy on a post-baby tummy than anything else. I have had so much wear out of them, both dressed up for work and dressed down at the weekend, excellent value for money!
on 09 July 2012
Fabulously snug and comfortable fit. No size issues with my usual size and am also petite. Feel like smart skinny jeans when on and much trendier alternative to maternity jeans. Shame they're not available in other colours.
Alison Sheppard
on 28 May 2012
Very comfy trouser/jegging. Stretchy material does slip a little, so have to be hitched up sometimes! Would definitely recommend as an alternative to jeans.
on 22 January 2012
I found the band kept slipping down throughout my pregnancy and I kept having to pull it up. This resulted in the seems at the side of the band splitting, perhaps I should have gone for a smaller size but the rest of the fit. Was so good
on 09 November 2011
While these are very comfortable, they are more like slim fit jeans than jeggings. The sizing comes up big too - I would suggest you go down a size if you want them nice and snug. I am 5'8" and find them a little short.
on 13 October 2011
Really nice leggings/skinny jeans, great fit but a bit too long. The material is thick and it is ideal for autumn and winter.
on 10 October 2011
Would agree with the previous review in that these are more of a fitted jean than a legging but they are extremely comfortable and I love the high bump band. However I found them to be quite long and I have to roll them up quite a bit to fit into my boots. A good buy though.
L Tainsh
on 16 August 2011
Amazing! Really good fit although I would say they are more of a skinny Jean than a legging as the material is thicker. Ideal for autumn winter and really comfy

You know who Jared Fogle is, even if you don't recognize his last name. For the past 11 years, he's been the public face of the Subway restaurant chain, appearing in advertisements and promotional appearances across the country.
Ken 2.0: A visit with Jared, the Subway guy
Jared, now 32, was a 425-pound college student when he began his Subway diet. He lost about 245 pounds in less than a year and has kept the weight off.
I caught up with him Friday at Soldier Creek Elementary in Midwest City, where he talked to a group of children. It was his first speaking engagement since getting married on July 30 and honeymooning in Napa Valley, Calif. I asked him questions provided by Ken 2.0 readers.
A: I lived next door to a Subway restaurant in 1988, when I was a junior at Indiana University (in Bloomington, Ind.). I just stumbled in there one day and, by chance, picked up the nutritional guide. I knew they had low-fat options, but in the past I hadn't paid it much attention. A lightbulb went off in my head: "I wonder what it'd do if I ate this stuff twice a day?"
Q: You ate multiple meals there every day?
A: Twice a day, usually for lunch and dinner. Seven days a week. Back then I was doing 6-inch turkey subs for lunch, and then dinner was a 12-inch veggie sub. The bread was a big part of it for me. I liked bread a lot, and this way I could eat nutritious meals and still get a filling portion of bread.
Q: What's your favorite Subway
A: Now my favorite would be the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. I get lettuce, pickles, green peppers, banana peppers, cucumber, jalapenos, a little salt and pepper and sweet onion sauce.
Q: What exercise program were you on during your weight loss?
A: For the first three months, not much of any. At 425-plus pounds, just walking next door to the Subway was exercise. For me, even now, it's hard to appreciate how immobile I'd become. Until I took those first 90 or so pounds off, I didn't feel comfortable doing any exercise. ... Then I started walking. Ten minutes a day, 15 minutes a day. I got up to a half-hour a day or sometimes more than that.
Q: How much did you lose, and how long did it take you?
A: Two hundred forty-five pounds was the total loss, and it took me just under a year. Mid-March of 1998 to February of 1999. It did come off very fast. I tried to get checked out by a doctor every couple of months. Even though it was an unconventional method, they were comfortable with it as long as I was comfortable with it.Fat-to-fit Blog

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Marian Gaborik is in the building after returning from Slovkia, where earlier this week he attended the funeral for good friend and former teammate Pavol Demitra. However, the Rangers star right wing is not on the ice with his group.
There is no word yet on why Gaborik is not skating.
After sitting out the first day of fitness testing as a precaution, Rangers center Artem Anisimov was on the ice with his group Saturday afternoon, doing the sprint drills that everybody else was doing.
Anisimov was kept off the ice Friday after the doctors felt he needed to go for an MRI on his knee (it was not specified which knee). The MRI came back clean, so Anisimov was cleared to participate.
Rangers coach John Tortorella said that at some point Anisimov will have to make up the fitness testing he missed Friday.

Mendoza returns to county Hall of Fame as inductee
World-class softball player stays in county
Fifteen years ago, Jessica Mendoza was just one of the young faces in the crowd.
Mendoza was being honored as Camarillo High's top female athlete at the Ventura County Sports Hall of Fame banquet in 1998.
She watched in awe as the inductees made their speeches, including former Camarillo High and UCLA softball star Ginny Mike-Mitchell
"I remember thinking, 'Oh my gosh. How cool is she? I want to do that,' " Mendoza said. "I went home and put that on my list of goals before even going to the Olympics or anything else. I wanted to be in her shoes and be in the county's Hall of Fame."
Mendoza can finally cross that accomplishment off her bucket list.
The Olympic softball gold medalist was inducted Sunday evening at the Ventura Beach Marriott along with Olympic cyclist Mari Holden, aquatics coach Keith McKnett, runner Fred Nagelschmidt and tennis player and director Ruth Dennison Guthrie. Doctor Gregg P. Hartman received a special recognition award.
Among those in attendance offering support for Holden was her boyfriend, former Major League Baseball slugger Barry Bonds.
Mendoza, 32, owes a debt of gratitude to the UCLA baseball team for being able to attend the banquet.
She was working as a reporter for ESPN for the NCAA Super Regional series between UCLA and Cal State Fullerton this weekend.
If the series had gone three games, Mendoza would have been in Fullerton on Sunday. But UCLA swept Fullerton, allowing Mendoza to be feted in person.
"I really wanted to be here because I knew there would be a lot of high school athletes in this room and there may be one with dreams like I had," said Mendoza, who is seven months pregnant with her second child. "I want them to know this could be them. I was in the same seat they were, and made it back."
It remains to be seen if any of this year's 55 high school honorees will reach induction status like Mendoza, but they have already displayed the potential.
Camarillo High senior Corbin Covey was honored as the Hall of Fame's boys All-County Athlete of the Year while Thousand Oaks High senior Kendall Frisoli was the girls recipient.
On the strength of an impressively well-written essay, Covey was also awarded the Suzanne Manlet Memorial Hall of Fame Scholarship along with Moorpark High senior Hannah Dearborn.
Ventura College swept the College Athlete of the Year awards with soccer player Daisy Cardona and swimmer Henry Chung being honored.
Following her decorated prep career at Camarillo High, Mendoza developed into one of the world's best softball players and became an ambassador for the sport. The outfielder attended Stanford University, and was the program's first four-time All-American, the Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year (1999) and the Pac-10 Player of the Year (2000).
She finished her career with program records in batting average (.416), hits (327), home runs (50), slugging percentage (.719), runs scored (230) and stolen bases (86).
Mendoza joined the United States women's national team in 2001, and helped lead the Americans to a gold medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens and a silver medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Mendoza was named USA Softball Athlete of the Year in 2006 and the Women's Sports Foundation Sportswoman of the Year in 2008.
Sunday's Hall of Fame induction was Mendoza's second in the last eight months and third overall. Mendoza was inducted into the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame last November and the Latin Sports Hall of Fame in 2006.
"I am probably more excited for this than almost anything else because I am so proud of where I am from," Mendoza said. "Ventura County is such a unique and special place, and I am so grateful I was able to represent the county." Boasting a master's degree from Stanford in Social Sciences in Education, Mendoza used softball as a platform to make a greater impact in society.
She served as president of the Women's Sports Foundation from 2009-10, and was an athlete ambassador for Team Darfur and Right to Play to help children in Africa.
In February, Mendoza traveled to Nicaragua to lead softball clinics as a member of the U.S. State Department's Council to Empower Women and Girls Through Sports.
Although her softball and television careers have taken Mendoza across the country and the world, she has always retained her roots in the county.
She lives in Moorpark with her husband, Adam Burks, and their 3-year-old son, Caleb.
"This where I want to be, and I think a big part of that is the family atmosphere of Ventura County," Mendoza said. "The athletes to come out of here are like a little sorority or fraternity because we are all proud we came from here and are grateful for the support we've had. "
Before taking a break because of her pregnancy, Mendoza was still playing in the National Pro Fastpitch League. She's unsure if she will return to the field once her new baby boy is born in August.
"It seems like retirement is the clear way to go because of everything else I'm doing. But softball has been a part of my life for so long, and it's a relationship I never want to end," Mendoza said.

2011 Scion RAT Tour Stop #2 – OKC Recap Press Release
April 19th, 2011 – OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – . Last summer when the Scion RAT Skate Tour hit OKC we had a great time, but it was June 19th and blazing hot…100+ degrees. This time we took a chance with an April date but luckily we nailed it. It's tornado season and the winds where howling on Friday and again on Sunday…but Saturday we got sunny sky's a slight breeze and temps in the low 70's for our event – WINNING!
Once again, the competition took place at the Mat Hoffman Skate Park just south of downtown. Sixty plus regional shredders showed up ready to throw-down and grab their share of over $2500 in cash/prizes. In addition to the Oklahoma crew, we had riders from Texas, Kansas and Missouri for stop #2.
The street qualifying kicked off around 12:30p and forty riders were split into 6 heats. The top two in each heat would advance to the semi-final round. The riders that would advance included Pat Donivan, David Sauceda, Dakota Camp, Taylor Nida, Josh Love, Daniel Yeager, Ryan Mabrey, Cory Shirly, Isaiah Hightower, Vinny Bahn, Taylor Jett, Ryan Strader, Jimmy Young and Rocky Sheaffer.
After street qualifying, focus shifted to the huge bowl at the Mat Hoffman park. Twenty-four riders where split into four heats and again, the top two would advance. Oklahoma has an eclectic group of transition skaters and they came in all shapes and sizes from 8-year old Evan Doherty who traveled all the way from Greenwood, Missouri to the hometown "Bowl Burners" crew anchored by 47 year old Carl "Gnarl" Conner. Each rider took a one-minute solo run and then each heat had a 5-minute snake jam session. Young Evan Doherty was joined by Greg Diaz, Pat Donivan, Gary Morris, Shane Fruits, Dalton Parks, Josh Love, Chad Pollock, Dakota Camp and Eduardo Ochoa who would all advance to the finals.
Once the roster was set for the bowl finals the crowd shifted back to the street course for the semi-finals which featured two heats of seven riders and the top three in each would move on to a six-man final where everyone would get paid. RAT newcomers Pat Donivan and Vinny Banh joined Ryan Strader advancing from heat #1 of the semi's and Josh Love, Rocky Shaeffer and RAT stop #1 street winner, Taylor Jett from Houston, TX advanced from the second heat.
The bowl finals kicked off around 3:30pm and the competitors were ready to fight for the podium. Once again riders each got a one-minute solo run followed by a more organized 5-minute jam. Everyone killed it in the final heat and the crowd that lined the bowl to watch were treated to some fast-paced, high-flying action. When the final whistle sounded it was local phenom, Gary Morris, who put together the best run and backed up his 2nd place finish at RAT #1 in Dallas with a 1st place finish, adding to his series point totals for the 2011 RAT Bowl Championship. 2nd place went to Pat Donivan from Kansas City. The youngest competitor of the day, Evan Doherty took 3rd, followed by Chad Pollock, Eduardo Ochoa and 35-year old "Bowl Burner" Shane Fruits rounded out the top 6. The top three received RAT Trophy "Check Decks" courtesy of Sk8te Skins and all-of-the top 6 received cash and various prize packs featuring product from Monster Energy, Skullcandy, Spy Optic and Theeve.
When the bowl finals wrapped it was time for a final 5-minute battle royale on the street course. Out of the forty skaters who started the day…the finals would feature the top six. Most of the action in the street finals took place around the steep eight-stair set that featured giant hubba ledges on each side and a flat rail running down the middle. The course was tight and the judges would have their work cut-out for them because nobody was holding back! Taylor Jett was a machine banging out trick-after-trick…fs lip, fs feeble, big spin backboard, hard flip, nollie front board, hardflip back tail and more. Jett backed up his win in Dallas with another 1st place finish. Multi-talented Pat Donivan who just finished in 2nd place in the bowl competition minutes earlier would add to his day's winnings with another 2nd place finish. He ripped all day and in the street finals he kept it going with a solid line-up of hammers including bs 180 on to the rail, front smith 180 out, caveman, ollie north over crook and more. Ryan Strader's consistent slaying landed him in 3rd place followed by the eternally happy Josh Love, Vinny Banh and Rocky Shaeffer. Trophy "Check Decks" went to the top 3 and everyone received additional cash and prizes for their efforts. Vinny Banh also picked up a sweet new bench rail from Element Drop Spot for stomping the rail trick of the day.
In addition to the skate competition, spectators and participants watched live art created on-site by local artists in the Sector 9 Inspiration Station, listened to music from the Skullcandy DJ "2Loose", enjoyed free drinks and swag from the Monster Energy Team and had tons of chances to win great prizes from local skate shops and series sponsors.
"We always get a warm welcome from our Oklahomies in OKC," said RAT Tour organizer Bill Geiger, "The skating is on point and the crowd always has a great time. It's a fun event."
Stop #2 of the 2011 Scion RAT Skate Tour was made possible with support from Scion and local dealer Hudiburg Scion, Cricket Wireless, Monster Energy Drink, Skullcandy, Spy Optic, Skateboarder Magazine, Sector 9, Element Skateboards, Already Been Chewed, Neff Headwear, Theeve Trucks and Sk8te Skins. Additional support provided by local skate shops including Flipd Skate Shop, Entropy, Core Extreme and Extreme Athletic Wear.

River Location: Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Washington D.C.
The Potomac is the "nation's river," rich in culture and history and the lifeblood of our nation's capital. The river provides drinking water to more than five million people and offers abundant opportunities for recreation. However, the Potomac is threatened by agricultural and urban pollution that will only get worse if Congress rolls back national clean water protections. If Congress puts polluters before people, our nation's river – and many other rivers nationwide – will become a threat to public health, unsafe for drinking water, wildlife, or recreation.
Take Action to Protect Our Nation's River
Congress must stop the ongoing attempts to weaken the Clean Water Act or prevent the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from restoring protections for small streams and wetlands under the Act. Urge Congress to save the Clean Water Act.
Recently, American Rivers named the Potomac River the #1 Most Endangered River in the country due to the threat of these clean water rollbacks. Flowing through our nation's capital and providing drinking water to millions, the Potomac is emblematic of what is at stake for rivers and public health nationwide.
We have made great progress since the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972 but recently, clean water safeguards have come under attack, leaving an estimated 2 million stream miles (excluding Alaska) at risk. In the Potomac River basin alone, close to 10,000 miles of streams may now be left vulnerable. Pollution in the Potomac threatens drinking water supplies, kills fish, and poses a health risk to people who swim, fish, and boat on the river.
This threat could get even worse if this bill passes in Congress. Americans want and expect clean water that is safe to drink, clean to swim in, and healthy enough to support fish and wildlife. Bills like S. 2245/H.R. 4965 that turn back the clock on the Clean Water Act threaten the health of the Potomac River and every river and stream in the country.
I urge you to stand up for clean water and America's Most Endangered Rivers®. Please oppose this bill S. 2245/H.R. 4965 and all other dirty water bills.

NIFT Leather Design course details
For complete NIFT info goto http://blog.malvikajain.com/nift-admission/
Here are details on LD by Ravneet Sachdeva, a graduate in Leather Design UG course at NIFT,
What you learn
We start with basic stuff, like pattern making(basic), design n fashion studies, leather science(how leather is made and differentiating between different leathers), a bit of accessories etc. Then we move on to more complex pattern making, surface techniques on leather, accessories (bags and hard goods etc), illustration.
Mostly its theory, be it illustrations, leather science, marketing, design processes etc. Lab work is only pattern making and construction.
One good part is that they leave the choice of specialization to you, in terms of garments or accessories. So you can pick your area and do your internship/Final Design Project in that. There are no restrictions.
Leather and what else?
Also, we do a lot of mix and match, they don't limit us to only leather. We use fabrics, rubber, wood, plastic; name any material in the world! So that way there is freedom.
Last 2 semesters are very holistic. They don't focus on leather only; like u have portfolio, visual merchandising, one optional subject and then finally your Final Design Project (also known as Graduation Project - GP)
What do you make finally?
GP consists of 4months industry experience where we are required to develop a collection (again, our choice, whether accessories or garments). This collection is presented on-ramp in the graduation fashion show.
The cost of the course is a little steep, as leather is a very expensive material (more expensive than fabric); otherwise, the rest of the material is the same, stationary, etc. At least 3 to 4K per semester; but yeah all courses at NIFT need you to spend.
In 2nd year, we go to tanneries too, to see how leather is processed.
Also in 2nd year, we do internships for a month and a half. For internships, almost all of us went to export houses (which I would recommend, as export houses give you max exposure and you get to learn a lot). Internships can be done with designers as well, but no Indian designer is doing leather on a large scale, so I won't recommend it.
In 3rd year, we have a week long Craft Cluster Project. In this project, we went to a village called Doodhi for a week; learnt dholak-making there. Our seniors had gone to chamba and learnt how to make chamba chappals. Yep..raw skin to final processed leather! The whole gig! Craft cluster project is different from tannery training. In tannery training we only observe the process and take notes. In craft cluster, we use our own knowledge along with the craftsmen's know how to create actual products (after learning that particular craft).
And finally, in the 4th year we have 4 months of GP includes one in the industry as a professional.
As for job opportunities, in
Plus points of LD
But LD has an edge over FD in certain ways as you learn accessories as well as garments, so in the end you always have both the options open; the careers that LD takes you to as well as the careers FD takes you to. Also, since you are not very restricted in terms of material, you are comfortable working with both woven and non woven materials.
Frankly, the faculty is not that great, but then they keep changing, and once in a while we do end up getting some excellent guest faculty!
If you like the info above, just click one of the Google ads below.
Enjoy this article?
thanx so much malvika ma'am this exactly what i was looking for…i have taken up LD at nift delhi…it was encouraging as well as discouraging…encouraging as we get to learn accessories as well as garment making and we use all the posible material but the part about not so great faculty is upsetting and discouraging….but it is qiute possible that are batch has better faculty….will hope so….thanx again for the info….
its written above that LD has an edge over FD…its also written that it may lead us to careers of FD as well…so can one become a main stream designer with LD too???????
of course you become a mainstream designer with LD
google wrote me a mail, that your ads are against the google rules (the hint that people should click on it !)
would you be so kind to add your own publisher id into the plugin settings !!!!!
ma'am i want to know how does it costs i mean the staionary n all.. a rough calculation of the money dat is required apart from the fee. plz let me know
mam i m also a leathr design student of nift so plz tell me d total coost of d course
kindly provide me your contact no.
Sir/Mam I want to know about fees and all procedure to take the admission.
Can you suggest some good companies to intern with in Delhi? I am pursuing Leather Design from chennai, and I'm in 6th semester. Have my internship starting this May. Would love if you could suggest companies in Delhi.

How Inbound Telemarketing Works
Most people associate telemarketing with outbound sales call centers- a huge room full of employees with headsets on making calls for sales, lead generation, or collecting survey information or donations. But telemarketing also works the other way around. If you don't have the staff, or language capabilities to support taking calls, inbound telemarketing is a [...]Continue Reading

POTSDAM - The SUNY Potsdam Alumni Association recently honored former President Dr. John F. (Fritz) Schwaller with Honorary Lifetime Membership, in recognition of his seven years of leadership and service to the college.
Honorary Lifetime Membership is presented to non-alums who have made exceptional contributions to the SUNY Potsdam Alumni Association and/or the college. Dr. Schwaller was lauded for his dedication to the college and its alumni.
Many times, students complete their degrees at an institution of higher learning without having met the campus president until they receive their diploma at Commencement. Such cannot be said ofDr. Schwaller, the 15th and immediate past president of SUNY Potsdam.
Determined to be accessible to the student body, new students and their families were often surprised to learn that the white-haired, friendly gentleman who just helped move a refrigerator into their new residence hall was none other than Dr. Schwaller, the colleges president. Fritz and his wife, Anne, were present at campus academic, athletic and arts events on virtually a daily basis.
During his first year as president, Dr. Schwaller quickly recognized the deep devotion and appreciation of many alumni for the unique learning opportunities they received at SUNY Potsdam and attempted to capture that essence by coining the phrase handcrafted education. For the next seven years, Dr. Schwaller worked to promote that abiding principle in all that he did.
Instrumental in marshaling the funds that were allocated to purchase the fleet of 141 new Steinway pianos for The Crane School of Music, he was also was a leader in garnering state support for the construction of the new Performing Arts Center, the colleges first new academic building in nearly 40 years.
Dr. Schwaller also instituted Potsdams test-optional admissions policy, the first of its kind in the SUNY system, and oversaw a reaccreditation visit from Middle States, which gave Potsdam a glowing review.
In addition, Dr. Schwaller established partnership agreements with the University of Hidalgo in Mexico and with the University of Potsdam in Germany. A tireless advocate for SUNY Potsdam, he worked to enhance the reputation of all aspects of the college, and has been instrumental in helping to raise funds for Take the Lead: The Campaign for Potsdam.
In support of students, he and Anne established the John F. and Anne C. Schwaller Scholarship for Study Abroad, offering students the opportunity to experience life-transforming travel and study in foreign countries. The Schwallers have also created a fund to help faculty remain effective scholar teachers.
Following his time at SUNY Potsdam, Dr. Schwaller plans to return to the college classroom in the SUNY system. He has accepted a faculty position in the Department of History at the University at Albany, and will begin teaching there in Spring 2014.

Villaflor: Champs Bayern can slacken off, or maybe not-A A +A
Thursday, March 27, 2014
BAYERN Munich was hailed as Bundesliga champions last Wednesday.
Social media, at least in this part of the world, was mum on the German club's defense of its league title, a feat it accomplished in record time.
The major football leagues in Europe, including the Bundesliga, are slated to end the season in May yet, but Bayern, apparently, has other plans.
With seven games left, Bayern won its 24th German league title by beating Hertha Berlin 3-1, giving the club 77 points, 25 points ahead of closest rival Borussia Dortmund.
EYE ON A BIGGER PRIZE. Pep Guardiola's wards topped the table as early as the eighth match and never looked back, piling up points with 25 wins and two draws for the back-to-back league triumph. It remains unbeaten in the league so far and is on its way to turning this season into yet another unforgettable one.
By wrapping up the season this early, Bayern Munich can now focus on winning Europe's biggest prize, the Uefa Champions League title.
Bayern lifted the Champions League cup last season by edging Bundesliga rivals
Dortmund 2-1 in a classic match that saw precise, no-nonsense German football that was no less beautiful to watch.
Now, after making short work of the domestic league, Bayern seeks to defend the European title under Guardiola, who took over Jupp Heynckes last July 2013.
BEST TEAM EVER? Under Heynckes, the club was regarded as the "best Bayern team ever," after becoming the first German club to win the domestic cup, domestic league and the European title to complete the treble.
As Heynckes successor, Guardiola is no slouch either.
In only four years, the Spaniard won 14 titles for the great La Liga side FC Barcelona, including four La Liga trophies and two Champions League titles.
And just like Heynckes, Guardiola led Barcelona to a treble, the first Spanish club to do so. To think this feat was achieved in his first year in charge of the Spanish side.
MORE URGENT MATTERS. At the rate the club is destroying opponents it should only be a matter of time before Guardiola's Die Roten would be hailed as the "best Bayern team ever."
But first, Guardiola and his wards need to win more titles and take care of other urgent matters, such as getting past a still dangerous Manchester United in the two-leg quarterfinals of the Champions League starting April 2.
Other than that, Bayern can always opt to loosen up as the Bundesliga winds down. Then again slackening off is hardly a virtue of true champions.

A dumb convenience suggestion: how about pausing the music when pausing the game? So that if I go to bathroom I don't leave the music running for nothing. Thanks.
Sorry for bumping in here like this, but I'm just reporting a (less likely) bug. Eternity seems to crash on some wads, more than other engines. So far it happened on Alien Vendetta MAP01 and Artica4 (in the first imp blood pool.)
It bombed with that "segmentation fault--SDL parachute deployed" I know nothing about...

How I Got My Boys to Stop Farting IndoorsBy Bryce • Dec 25th, 2011 • Category: Dating, ENTERTAINMENT, Family Health, SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS
It takes a long winter weekend to really get to know the people you live with. I spend most of my time with my nearly 3 year old son, and the balance of that time with his soon to be step father, a 40 year old foreigner with a particularly varied diet. These two, it should be noted, are extremely boyish boys. They like contact sports, things with motors, junk food, whatever the FX channel airs, and farting. I can deal with most of that even though I don't particularly enjoy spending my free time looking at cars whilst talking about wrestling, but I simply cannot deal with farts. They're impolite, smelly, and make me wonder why it is I spend so much money to live in Manhattan if my home is just going to smell like things my guys digested a few days ago anyway.
In obvious news, I devised a plan. A plan that works well for a 3 year old and perfectly for a somewhat religious 40 year old man.
I gathered them last night to tell them the story of how angels bless each and every person on Earth. In fact, I told them that the story can be found in a hidden text in the Torah, and that it's spiritual fact that only high level rabbis are even capable of uncovering this information. It just so happens that I know some high level rabbis, and coincidentally, they shared this info with me. So back to the angels. Every time a baby is born there are very beautiful, loving angels that descend from the heavens to bless the child. The process of blessings comes in the form of millions of tiny kisses all over the infant, going straight to the bloodstream (only angels can kiss so intensely). Obviously all these kisses result in little tiny pockets of air, which is why even the smallest babies can experience some gas pains. In fact, gas pains are the worst for small babies (medical fact, look it up people). Those little bubbles are the houses for all the little blessings left by the angels, and simply put, every time you fart you get rid of a blessing.
I encourage you all to spread this wisdom especially now, the holiday season, when men are a little more spiritual than usual, have worse diets than usual, and you're trapped indoors with them more frequently.

I've owned and ridden Western horses my whole life. I have a barn, and will have an extra stall when I sell my Welsh stallion. So my friend Sam has been asking her mom to lease a horse for a long time....Sam took lessons as a kid and wants to get back into it more than anything. So I told her how awesome if would be if she could board at my place....and her mom finally agreed that if Sam comes up with enough money for tack, she can lease a horse. She's so excited. My mom agreed it was a definite possibility, so Sam and I are discussing things and such related to how she should go about looking for a horse to lease. And we said it would be awesome that we could ride together on the 1000 acres behind my property....and my mom put her foot down and said we can't ride without my mom walking behind us since it's parkland I ride in and technically not our property...And Sam and I think we're old enough to ride by ourselves. We're both 13 years old, and have experience with horses. I ride Western and am more experienced, but she had experience with riding in lessons when she was like 7-9 years old. We both have cell phones we could use to call our parents if necessary....Do you think we should be allowed to ride by ourselves? Because for me to ride right now, I have to wait for my mom to be ready and make sure she has no plans and such. And that means I barely get to ride. I'm getting about 1 ride every 1 or 2 weeks now because she's busy with one thing or another.
So what's your take on the situation? If Sam (who rides English) gets to board at my place, should we be able to ride by ourselves so we can ride a lot more often? And where I ride is 7 acres of my woods and pastures, and then a few hundred of a farmer's fields (the farmer gave my family permission to ride along the edge a long time ago) , and then behind that there's a few hundred acres of park-owned meadows we've never seen anyone other than my family in. My mom doesn't think it's safe because it's not our property, and even though it's perfectly safe and allowed for me to ride there, she still insists on coming.

Nigerian prelate asks for prayers after new Islamic attacks
Catholic World News - June 30, 2014
The president of the Nigerian Catholic bishops' conference has asked for prayers for his country, after a new rash of attacks by Islamic terrorists.
Dozens of people were killed in three separate assaults on Nigerian villages on June 29. One of the villages attacked was Chibok, the same village that saw the kidnapping of 200 girls in April.
Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama told Vatican Radio that he hopes the Nigerian government "can do more and do it fast" to protect the country's people from the attacks, which have been attributed to the Boko Haram terrorist group.
Meanwhile the Nigerian bishops have issued a National Call to Prayer, organizing a campaign that will center on the family recitation of the Rosary and culminate in a national pilgrimage to Abuja on July 14 and 15.

Rocket Science is the embodiment of all those familiar adjectives which surface when describing standard American indie fare.
Rocket Science is the embodiment of all those familiar adjectives which surface when describing standard American indie fare: 'charming', 'touching', 'offbeat', and it's complemented by the obligatory 'quirky' soundtrack for which we have Wes Anderson to blame.
The story follows Hal's (Reece Thompson) attempt to join his high school debate team despite his inhibiting stammer. His participation is masterminded by the admirably obnoxious Ginny Ryerson (Anna Kendrick), with whom he inevitably falls in love.
Where Rocket Science departs form its genre counterparts is in its emotional intelligence. Director Jeffrey Blitz achieves the kind of understated beauty you would expect from a man used to examining the simmering ironies of society, and he gleans such a pure performance from his young male lead that you engage with every missed syllable and prolonged exhale that the character must endure.
Furthermore, Hal's disability serves as an ideal tool to capture all the frustrations associated with unrequited high school love, and it is for these reasons that it's easy to forgive the coming-of-age clichés to which Rocket Science succumbs.
It won't lead you to any great epiphany on the meaning of life, nor does it broach new cinematic ground. However, Rocket Science will remind you that American independent cinema has more to offer than the insipid fantasies of Zach Braff.
As such, it's worth commending Blitz's first fiction effort and hope that, if future projects are to tackle more challenging material, this could be the start of great things to come.
Spellbound's fictional offspring.
Charming, touching, offbeat.
Blitz eases himself in gently but with great promise.

Not long ago, NATO was poised to become a kind of global 9-1-1 force: Between 1995 and 2011, the alliance ended a war in Bosnia, waged a war in Kosovo, deployed peacekeepers to both of those Balkan battlegrounds, marched into Afghanistan to fight the Taliban, formed the basis of an international armada to intercept WMDs on the high seas, combatted piracy off the Horn of Africa, airlifted African Union peacekeepers, trained Iraqi soldiers and prevented a Bosnia-style bloodletting in Libya. Some observers saw in these post-Cold War missions the outlines of "an expeditionary alliance" on call to intervene anywhere.
But today's NATO is more interested in offloading missions than shouldering new ones. As a consequence, NATO's global reach and role are contracting, leading the alliance back to its traditional role of deterrence—and not a moment too soon, given what Russia is doing along its borders.
Prudent and Necessary
Faced with a choice between deterrence and irrelevance, NATO is opting for the former.
It all comes down to will. The 28-member alliance doesn't have the will to be a global police force. That much is obvious after NATO's disappointing and often-disjointed effort [2] in Afghanistan.
Nor do most members of the alliance have the will to make the sort of investment needed to field power-projecting militaries. Without the United States in the lead in Libya, NATO was found woefully lacking in precision munitions, targeting and jamming capabilities, mid-air refueling planes, reconnaissance platforms, drones, and command-and-control assets—just about everything needed to conduct a 21st-century air war.
This is what happens when nations stop investing in defense. If we remove U.S. defense spending from the picture, NATO members spend an average of 1.3 percent of GDP on their armed forces. For years, NATO has been asking members to invest 2 percent of GDP in the common defense. Yet only three members meet that standard, which brings us back to NATO's mission.
It's not only prudent for a NATO with fewer resources to focus on its core mission; it's increasingly necessary.
Vladimir Putin's Russia is anything but a partner. From Syria and Iran, to Georgia and Ukraine, to the Baltics and the Arctic, Putin's position is at odds with NATO's interests and ideals. As Lech Walesa and Vaclav Havel observed in 2009, Putin's Russia is "a revisionist power pursuing a 19th-century agenda with 21st-century tactics and methods."
Putin's Russia has interfered in Ukraine's internal politics and violated its territorial integrity, invaded and dismembered Georgia, waged cyber-war against Estonia, used energy supplies as a weapon against Central Europe, provided diplomatic and military cover for Assad's beastly war [3] in Syria, unilaterally claimed a vast swath of the Arctic, violated the INF Treaty, withdrawn from the Nunn-Lugar nuclear threat reduction program, harbored fugitive spy Edward Snowden, and perhaps most worrisome to the alliance, conducted a crescendo of provocative war games on NATO's borders.
In a 2009 exercise, for instance, Russian forces practiced an amphibious invasion of NATO-member Poland, complete with mock nuclear strikes. Last spring, Putin ordered "snap" military maneuvers in the Black Sea enfolding 7,000 troops and 30 warships. Last summer, in what Russian news agencies described as "the biggest military drill since Soviet times," Russia conducted war games featuring 160,000 troops, 1,000 tanks, 130 planes and 70 ships. Last fall, Russia launched exercises involving 70,000 troops along its Baltic borderlands. And after Ukraine ousted its pro-Russian president last month, Putin massed 150,000 troops on the Ukraine-Russia border [4] and then spirited thousands of paramilitaries onto Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.
The Estonian defense ministry reports that Russia's troop presence on the borders of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania—all NATO members—has mushroomed from 16,000 in 2009 to nearly 100,000 today.
In the resource-rich Arctic, Russia is building 11 new border outposts, opening way stations for Russian warships, reopening Soviet-era airfields and fielding two new Arctic army brigades.
Putin has revived the Cold War practice of sending long-range nuclear bombers into the Americas, the Pacific, Europe and the Arctic to buzz U.S. aircraft carriers and Alaskan, Canadian, Colombian, Japanese and British airspace.
While NATO cuts military spending, Moscow is increasing military spending—a 65-percent increase in the past three years, a 25-percent increase last year. Flush with petro-dollars, Putin plans to deploy [5] 2,300 new tanks, 600 new warplanes, 400 new ICBMs and 50 new warships in the next decade.
As historian Robert Kagan has observed, "NATO has become more benign, just as Russia has become more aggressive." That's a combustible combination.
Putin's Language
All of this underscores why NATO is recommitting [6] itself to "a robust exercise and training program" featuring "high-intensity, large-scale exercises." The first of these was held in late 2013. It was NATO's largest live-fire military drill in nearly eight years, featuring 6,000 troops and the full spectrum of air, land, naval, special operations and cyber assets. The exercise was conducted in Poland, Latvia and the Baltic Sea, which certainly sent a message to Moscow. Perhaps NATO's next exercise should be held in Hungary, Bulgaria and the Black Sea—all of which border Ukraine.
Regardless of location, the allies plan to conduct "major live exercises on a regular basis" in the coming decade.
This is a language Putin understands, and it will go a long way to keeping the peace in Europe. What Churchill said of his Russian counterparts remains true today: "There is nothing they admire so much as strength, and there is nothing for which they have less respect than for weakness."
However, deterrence requires more than military maneuvers.
First, NATO nations must invest more in defense. There will always be a capabilities gap between the U.S. and its NATO allies, but NATO cannot devolve from an all-for-one alliance into a one-for-all public good. The United States should lead an alliance-wide effort to help each member develop an action plan to lift their defense budgets to the 2-percent standard. And Washington should lead by example, by reversing sequestration's devastating cuts [7]and reinforcing the U.S. commitment to Europe. The recent return [8]of American heavy armor to Europe, after the imprudent withdrawal last year of all U.S. tanks, is a step in the right direction.
Second, NATO needs to say "no." In a way, NATO is like a police force that was so effective at fighting crime in its community that it was enlisted to help other communities, further and further away from its hometown. That proved too much for NATO, and so the prudent course for the alliance is to return to the neighborhoods it knows best. This appears to be what NATO is doing by steering clear of Syria, pulling out of Afghanistan and eschewing nation-building operations in Libya.
Third, NATO needs to make its words matter. Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty—NATO's all-for-one collective defense clause—is the backbone of the alliance. Yet Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide warns that "Article V is not in good shape" and worries about NATO's ability "to deliver if something happens in the transatlantic theater of a more classical type of aggression." (See Putin's Brezhnev-style reaction to the Kiev Spring.) Only once in its history has NATO invoked Article V—on September 12, 2001—but some NATO members don't take Article V as seriously as others. If they did, European defense spending wouldn't have shrunk by 15 percent in the decade after 9/11; Washington wouldn't have been reduced to begging for more troops to help in Afghanistan; and the troops that were sent wouldn't have limits placed [9] on where, when and how they engaged the enemy.
If NATO's members don't take Article V seriously, neither will NATO's enemies. And if that happens, NATO's deterrent strength is gone—not a comforting thought as Putin's tanks rumble along NATO's borders.

Microsoft has elaborated on the Internet connection required by its next-generation Xbox One console, confirming that, while it won't require to be constantly online, it will need to be connected once every 24 hours.
Before the official presentation of the Xbox One, one of the major rumors concerning the console was the fact that it needed a constant Internet connection to even work.
Microsoft confirmed during its press conference that the next-gen console can still do things like play single-player games or allow movie watching even if it's not online.
According to Xbox Executive Phil Harrison, the Xbox One will deliver a wealth of entertainment experiences if it's connected to the Internet.
"There are many devices in your life that require the Internet to function," he told Kotaku.
"Xbox One is no different in that it requires, at some point in the beginning and at various times through its on state, to connect to our cloud and to our Internet. That is to deliver Xbox Live functionality, that is to deliver download content to you, that is to deliver some of the innovations around TV and entertainment that we showed today. But it doesn't require it to be online all the time."
Harrison then highlighted the different things that can be achieved when the Xbox One isn't connected online.
"For single-player games that don't require connectivity to Xbox Live, you should be able to play those without interruption should your Internet connection go down. Blu-ray movies and other downloaded entertainment should be accessible when your Internet connection may be interrupted. But the device is fundamentally designed to be expanded and extended by the Internet as many devices are today."
Even if the Xbox One can do the aforementioned things when it isn't connected to the Internet, the next-gen console will still require to be online every 24 hours according to the executive.
Microsoft issued another statement to Polygon, clarifying that Harrison's statement only exemplified a potential scenario.
"While Phil [Harrison] discussed many potential scenarios around games on Xbox One, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail," the company said.
"There have been reports of a specific time period — those were discussions of potential scenarios, but we have not confirmed any details today, nor will we be."
While it's still unclear, it seems that an Internet connection is pretty much required by the Xbox One to function properly.

Tufts Christian group loses recognition: religious tenets 'discriminatory'
Catholic World News - October 23, 2012
Tufts Christian Fellowship (TCF) has lost its official recognition because it requires its leaders to adhere to certain religious tenets—a stance that has been deemed discriminatory.
The university's student newspaper reported:
The group had been operating in a state of suspended recognition after the [Tufts Community Union] Judiciary found that the group's constitution excluded students from applying to leadership positions based on their beliefs. The clauses in question require that any TCF member who wishes to apply for a leadership role must adhere to a series of tenets called a Basis of Faith, or eight "basic Biblical truths of Christianity."

Short-term homeschooling
The front-page of the website for the magazine Brain, Child features an article on short-term homeschooling. (hat tip to Henry Cate at Why Homeschool) The article is easy on the eyes, perhaps because the magazine focuses on a literary approach. I like the observations made by someone who is outside mainstream homeschooling, but who has experienced the change from school to homeschool.
Brain, Child, Lexington, Virginia, One Good Year — A Look at Short-Term Homeschooling
But as the year went by and the complaints increased, I sympathized more and more with Julia's plight, partly because of my own memories of public school drudgery, and partly because, as a professor of English, I understand the need for sabbaticals. If adults benefit from intellectual rejuvenation, then why not children? Why shouldn't a child have time off to pursue her own research and writing?
A sabbatical year of homeschooling for school-age children may be an important development in the mainstream approach to children's educations.
Still, I notice a theme that homeschoolers and their communities have not embraced part-timers. This harks back to a similar lament from public-school-at-home parents. I wonder if this is because the purposes of the various at-home-education methods are different, which means that the support bases must also differ in what they provide. The part-timers may also have problems similar to what I saw in military communities: transience. This results in a lack of 'institutional memory' so that there are no old-timers to guide the way. The transience also means that the rough ride of the first homeschooling year remains the snapshot of homeschooling. The family misses the mellower later years, especially if the parents intend to return the children to school and feel pressured to 'keep up.'
I mean no put-down whatsoever for the efforts, but expecting all the benefits of homeschooling from a sabbatical imbued with keeping-up-with-the-educational-Joneses is like expecting to excel at gourmet cooking at a get-away-from-it-all cabin in the woods because you're close to the mushrooms.
And of course, no two writers see a subject in the same way, so I find other points of disagreement, such as a reliance on the Department of Education's recognition of part-time homeschoolers. The Department of Education defines part-timers as families in which the children spend less than 25 hours per week in school. Twenty-five hours per week in a five-day school week translates to five hours per day at school. Any child who spends five hours per day in school is schooled, though perhaps not as intensively as children who spend six hours per day there. The one hour per day difference doesn't add up to much, although to an eight-year old watching the minute hand tick-toe its way to day's end that reprieve must feel heaven-sent.
I enjoyed the reading of the article and it is one that I'll probably go back to just for the sake of reading it. The author knows her craft. Still, the homeschooler in me sees her allegiance to the institutional world of schooling.
But in the meantime, my daughter needs more time away from Mom (excessive mothering is one of the most common concerns about homeschoolers). A third-party adult can often inspire a child more deeply than pleas from dear old Mother, which is why many homeschoolers hire tutors. In addition, the presence of a peer group in a public classroom can keep a child on task, who might, in a home setting, have problems staying focused, and the social diversity in the public schools can't be matched in today's homeschooling communities.

Clarissa Brucato's Photo Stream
10 of 46 (see all)
Of June
This was taken two Summer's ago when my mom just planted a ton of plants around our pond. The colors of this shock me because I didn't edit them at all - this is seriously how vibrant the flower was. It's one of my favorite photos because it's so simple but there's a lot to it at the same time.
