Samsung, the global leader in consumer smartphones, is planning two major thrusts in 2013: bulking up mobile content and moving faster into the corporate market dominated by Research in Motion.
The South Korean electronics company is investing in devices that enterprise users like corporations will endorse, with a higher level of security and reliability than general users need. In doing so, Samsung is capitaliSing on doubts about the longevity of the BlackBerry as its Canadian maker struggles to revive growth.
Samsung's corporate market ambitions have advanced as the Galaxy SIII, its popular flagship smartphone, won the requisite security certifications from companies, said Kevin Packingham, chief product officer for Samsung Mobile USA.
As RIM prepares to launch its next-generation BlackBerry 10 this quarter, the company's future remains shaky. Corporate technology officers have begun to explore other smartphones, such as those by Apple or Samsung.
"The enterprise space has suddenly become wide open. The RIM problems certainly fueled a lot of what the CIOs are going through, which is they want to get away from a lot of the proprietary solutions," Packingham said in an interview at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. "They want something that integrates what they are doing with their IT systems. Samsung is investing in that area."
"It's been a focus for a long time but the products have evolved now that we can really take advantage of that," he added. "We knew we had to build more tech devices to successfully enter the enterprise market. What really turned that needle was that we had the power of the GS3."
Samsung in 2012 overtook Apple as the world's largest maker of smartphones, with a vastly larger selection of cellphones that attacked different price points and proved popular in emerging markets.
German business software maker SAP provides employees with Samsung's Galaxy S III, the larger Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Tab, SAP Chief Information Officer Oliver Bussmann said in an interview.
"The one clear trend in enterprise is the shift away from one device to multiple devices," said Bussman, who makes 10 devices available to SAP employees for official use. The list includes Apple's iPhone and iPad, Nokia Lumia and RIM's Blackberry.
"Because of the fragmentation of the Android software, we decided to go with just one Android company and we went with Samsung," he added.
Now, the Korean hardware specialist is beefing up its software - an area in which it has lagged arch-enemy Apple, which revolutionized the mobile phone from 2007 with its content-rich, developer-led iPhone ecosystem.
Packingham sees an area ripe for innovation - combining the mobile phone with Samsung's strength, the TV, which has barely evolved in the past decade.
Still, the US-based executive remained cagey about Samsung's plans for content and enterprise.
"You are going to see from content services, we'll start to integrate what's happening on the big screen, what's happening on the tablet," he said.
"We know now that people like to explore content that they are watching on TV while they have a tablet in their lap, and that's going to be a big theme for this year."

Yakiniku Sugaya Restaurant in Osaka, Japan by TOFU
February 12th, 2011 by Sanjay Gangal
This is a BBQ restaurant in Osaka designed by TOFU Architects. TOFU used a lot of bamboo material for the wall and blind, giving the impression of light and airy. Bare bulb Light hanging on each table is tiny light, but it reflects the light of a naked light bulb in a unique glossy texture of bamboo to produce a soft glow throughout the room. They used a glossy paint on the wall of cedar panels, giving the same effect as the bamboo.

Rakuten, owner of Play.com, Wuaki.tv and Kobo, buys ViberPocket-lint
Rakuten, the company that owns Play.com, movie streaming service Wuaki.tv and makes the Kobo eReader, has announced it is buying Skype competitor Viber for $900m.
In a deal that echoes eBay buying Skype in 2006, the company has confirmed it is buying the internet-based call service because it "perfectly complements" its digital strategy.
"I am tremendously excited to welcome Viber to the Rakuten family. Viber delivers the most consistently high-quality and convenient messaging and VoIP experience available," said Hiroshi Mikitani, the company's chairman and CEO.
"Additionally, Viber has introduced a great sticker market and has tremendous potential as a gaming platform. Simply put, Viber understands how people actually want to engage and have built the only service that truly delivers on all fronts.
"This makes Viber the ideal total consumer engagement platform for Rakuten as we seek to bring our deep understanding of the consumer to vast new audiences through our dynamic ecosystem of Internet Services."
It is not clear yet what Rakuten is planning with the new acquisition: whether it plans to continue running the company as is, or try to integrate it into the company's range of products or services.
Rakuten said the purchase of Viber Media, run from Cyprus by Israeli entrepreneur Talmon Marco, will add 300 million users to its existing 200 million user base.
The deal parallels eBay's acquisition of Skype. At the time eBay said it hoped to use the voice calling service to allow eBay sellers to talk to potential eBay customers to help improve the sales process, but that idea never took off and the company offloaded the service to Microsoft.

It sure seems like it.
Team Canada looked great against Russia on Thursday. They took it to them, were more physical and outhustled Russia to loose pucks. The result was a whipping. And Brenden Morrow, playing his usual physical game in front of the net, got a goal and even saw some power play time. He's playing well, a good sign for Stars fans.
But Slovakia's upset of Sweden makes things even easier on Team Canada, who shouldn't have any trouble advancing to the gold medal game. There's no doubt the NHL would love to see the U.S. and Canada play for the gold, but that requires the Americans getting past a tough Finland team (and Jere Lehtinen, of course).
The way Canada is playing (a team that, by the way, had a slow start in 2002 in Salt Lake City on its way to gold), it's tough to bet against them. But it sure would be fun to see if the U.S. could do it again. We'll wait and see.
BTW, before that possibility, we do get Canada and the U.S. competing for a hockey gold. It's in the women's game today.

Anonymous members jailed for Paypal web attacks
Prison for downtime
THREE MEN who took part in distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on several big name companies have been sentenced to prison in the UK.
The DDoS attacks were part of "Operation Payback" protests in the wake of the financial blockade of Wikileaks. According to the Metropolitan police, the activists began hitting targets like the Ministry of Sound and the British Phonographic Industry before switching to Mastercard and Paypal.
According to the Met the three men, plus one more who will be sentenced next month, were members of the Anonymous hacktivist group.
"Perpetrators of distributed denial of service attacks laud them as civil protests but they can be incredibly damaging to the finances and reputations of online businesses. Simultaneously, they impact on the general public's ability to use online services. These men provided the infrastructure for such attacks," said detective chief inspector Terry Wilson of the Police Central e-Crime Unit.
"The sentences they have received are indicative of how serious the crime is and the tough approach the courts will take to such criminals."
Christopher Weatherhead, or Nerdo, 22, received a sentence of 18 months for his troubles, which we are told included inciting other protesters using social media like Facebook and Twitter.
Ashley Rhodes, 27, of London got a sentence of seven months, and Peter David Gibson, 24, of Cleveland got six months imprisonment suspended for two years and 100 hours of community service.
When the three were bailed in 2011, they were banned from the internet and prohibited from using their online names. Easy for Christopher, or Nerdo, and Ashley, or Nikonelite, but more tricky for Peter as he went by the name Peter.
The fourth man, 18 year old Jake Alexander Birchall, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit unauthorised acts with intent to impair, or with recklessness as to impairing, the operation of a computer, contrary to Section 3 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990, last year. He will be sentenced on 1 February.
During the trial Paypal alleged that the online sit-in at its web servers cost it £3.5m. The prosecutor said that the actions of the men were effective and costly.
"[They] waged a sophisticated and orchestrated campaign of online attacks that paralysed a series of targeted computer systems belonging to companies to which they took issue with, for whatever reason, and those attacks caused unprecedented harm," he said.
Anonymous is campaigning to have the DDoS attack recognised as a legitimate form of protest in the US. A White House petition with about two weeks left to run has around a quarter of the supporters that it requires for presidential consideration. µ

This thesis presents an exploration of these concepts, claims, and causes. It evaluates the literature s proposed solutions to them, and then presents a unified framework that covers additional concerns not previously considered. The value of a requirement is assessed often during the requirements engineering (RE) process, e.g., in requirement prioritisation, release planning, and trade-off analysis. In order to support these activities, and hence to support the decisions that lead to the aforementioned waste, this thesis proposes a framework built on the modelling languages of Goal Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE), and on the principles of Value Based Software Engineering (VBSE). The framework guides the elicitation of a requirement s value using philosophy and business theory, and aims to quantitatively model chains of instrumental value that are expected to be generated for a system s stakeholders by a proposed software capability. The framework enriches the description of the individual links comprising these chains with descriptions of probabilistic degrees of causation, non-linear dose-response and utility functions, and credibility and confidence. A software tool to support the framework s implementation is presented, employing novel features such as automated visualisation, and information retrieval and machine learning (recommendation system) techniques. These software capabilities provide more than just usability improvements to the framework. For example, they enable visual comprehension of the implications of what-if? questions, and enable re-use of previous models in order to suggest modifications to a project s requirements set, and reduce uncertainty in its value propositions. Two case studies in real-world industry contexts are presented, which explore the problem and the viability of the proposed framework for alleviating it. The thesis research questions are answered by various methods, including practitioner surveys, interviews, expert opinion, real-world examples and proofs of concept, as well as less-common methods such as natural language processing analysis of real requirements specifications (e.g., using TF-IDF to measure the proportion of software requirement traceability links that do not describe the requirement s value or problem-to-be-solved). The thesis found that in general, there is a disconnect between the state of best practice as proposed by the literature, and current industry practice in requirements engineering. The surveyed practitioners supported the notion that the aforementioned value realisation problems do exist in current practice, that they would be treatable by better requirements engineering practice, and that this thesis proposed framework would be useful and usable in projects whose complexity warrants the overhead of requirements modelling (e.g., for projects with many stakeholders, competing desires, or having high costs of deploying incorrect increments of software functionality).

The aim of this thesis is to build an automatic system that can accurately localise any vehicles that appear in aerial video frames and track the target vehicles with trackers. Vehicle detection and tracking have many applications and this has been an active area of research during recent years; however, it is still a challenge to deal with certain realistic environments. This thesis develops vehicle detection and tracking algorithms which enhance the robustness of detection and tracking beyond the existing approaches. The basis of the vehicle detection system proposed in this thesis has different object categorisation approaches, with colour and texture features in both point and area template forms. The thesis also proposes a novel Self-Learning Tracking and Detection approach, which is an extension to the existing Tracking Learning Detection (TLD) algorithm. There are a number of challenges in vehicle detection and tracking. The most difficult challenge of detection is distinguishing and clustering the target vehicle from the background objects and noises. Under certain conditions, the images captured from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are also blurred; for example, turbulence may make the vehicle shake during flight. This thesis tackles these challenges by applying integrated multiple feature descriptors for real-time processing. In this thesis, three vehicle detection approaches are proposed: the HSV-GLCM feature approach, the ISM-SIFT feature approach and the FAST-HoG approach. The general vehicle detection approaches used have highly flexible implicit shape representations. They are based on training samples in both positive and negative sets and use updated classifiers to distinguish the targets. It has been found that the detection results attained by using HSV-GLCM texture features can be affected by blurring problems; the proposed detection algorithms can further segment the edges of the vehicles from the background. Using the point descriptor feature can solve the blurring problem, however, the large amount of information contained in point descriptors can lead to processing times that are too long for real-time applications. So the FAST-HoG approach combining the point feature and the shape feature is proposed. This new approach is able to speed up the process that attains the real-time performance. Finally, a detection approach using HoG with the FAST feature is also proposed. The HoG approach is widely used in object recognition, as it has a strong ability to represent the shape vector of the object. However, the original HoG feature is sensitive to the orientation of the target; this method improves the algorithm by inserting the direction vectors of the targets. For the tracking process, a novel tracking approach was proposed, an extension of the TLD algorithm, in order to track multiple targets. The extended approach upgrades the original system, which can only track a single target, which must be selected before the detection and tracking process. The greatest challenge to vehicle tracking is long-term tracking. The target object can change its appearance during the process and illumination and scale changes can also occur. The original TLD feature assumed that tracking can make errors during the tracking process, and the accumulation of these errors could cause tracking failure, so the original TLD proposed using a learning approach in between the tracking and the detection by adding a pair of inspectors (positive and negative) to constantly estimate errors. This thesis extends the TLD approach with a new detection method in order to achieve multiple-target tracking. A Forward and Backward Tracking approach has been proposed to eliminate tracking errors and other problems such as occlusion. The main purpose of the proposed tracking system is to learn the features of the targets during tracking and re-train the detection classifier for further processes. This thesis puts particular emphasis on vehicle detection and tracking in different extreme scenarios such as crowed highway vehicle detection, blurred images and changes in the appearance of the targets. Compared with currently existing detection and tracking approaches, the proposed approaches demonstrate a robust increase in accuracy in each scenario. Description: A Doctoral Thesis.

Although a number of individuals and companies have developed a presence (lands) in Second Life, no appropriate methodology has been put into place for undertaking such developments. Although users have adapted existing methods to their individual needs, this research project explores the development of a methodology for developing lands specifically within Second Life. After researching and examining a variety of different software methods and techniques, it was decided to base this research project methodology on Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) techniques, which shares a number of synergies with Second Life itself. With some modifications, a web-based system was designed based on CBR to work in accordance with Second Life. Collecting and analyzing the feedback for the first version of the web-based system identified the adjustments and improvements needed. Therefore, from tracking its progress against previous specifications and future activity, an updated version of the CBR web-based system covering the latest changes and improvements of the tool was introduced. In addition to this, new functionalities have been added in the improved version in order to refine and develop the original prototype to become a highly effective SL development tool. New feedback platforms have been provided to facilitate the use of the system and to obtain results which are more closely related to the users recommendations. Through the feedback process, the tool is becoming ever more useful to developers of Second Life systems. This research project discusses the use of Case-based reasoning techniques and evaluates their application to the development of space within Second Life. Description: A Doctoral Thesis.

In-network data processing is one of the most important and challenging techniques as it affects the key features of WSNs, which are energy consumption, nodes life circles and network performance. In the form of in-network processing, an intermediate node or aggregator will fuse or aggregate sensor data, which are collected from a group of sensors before transferring to the base station. The advantage of this approach is to minimize the amount of information transferred due to lack of computational resources. This thesis introduces the development of a hybrid in-network data processing for WSNs to fulfil the WSNs constraints. An architecture for in-network data processing were proposed in clustering level, data compression level and data mining level. The Neighbour-aware Multipath Cluster Aggregation (NMCA) is designed in the clustering level, which combines cluster-based and multipath approaches to process different packet loss rates. The data compression schemes and Optimal Dynamic Huffman (ODH) algorithm compressed data in the cluster head for the compressed level. A semantic data mining for fire detection was designed for extracting information from the raw data by the semantic data-mining model is developed to improve data accuracy and extract the fire event in the simulation. A demo in-door location system with in-network data processing approach is built to test the performance of the energy reduction of our designed strategy. In conclusion, the added benefits that the technical work can provide for in-network data processing is discussed and specific contributions and future work are highlighted.

At least 2 state employees compiled immigrant list, Gov. Gary Herbert says
Shurtleff said because the list included the due dates of several pregnant women, those responsible may have violated federal health privacy laws, which would be a felony, not just a misdemeanor, as some violations of state databases could be.
Shurtleff added that his investigation will not necessarily be limited to state employees. "If others were involved in potential violations of law beyond state employees, certainly we're going to be looking at that, as well."
But Shurtleff said his office does not plan to do anything with the supposed "illegal immigrants" on the list. He said he will seek, as part of immigration reform, the power to go after companies that continually report employee Social Security numbers that are bogus or belong to someone else, even after the state has warned them the numbers are fake.
"As the attorney general of Utah, we condemn in the strongest possible terms the generation and dissemination of this list," Shurtleff said during the conference call to national reporters. "I want to make it very clear that is not the way we do things in Utah."
He said as people debate immigration reform, "we need to do it in a way that is not through lists, that is (not) through hate mongering, through political rhetoric, through threats, through outright and implied racism. That's not how we do things, and we condemn it."
Shurtleff said he hopes all sides will condemn the list and "put the hatred, the accusations aside and work toward comprehensive, workable reform."
Utah Republican Party Chairman Dave Hansen said in a statement Friday that the party supported Herbert's request for an investigation into the origination and release of the list.
"The unlawful release of private information to the public is unconscionable under any circumstances and is not to be tolerated," Hansen said in the statement. "Immigration is an emotional and much-debated issue, not only here in Utah, but nationwide. However, (flouting) the law because of frustration with the law is no excuse for illegal behavior."
"The appropriate method of addressing immigration issues is through existing law or through the legislative process. Those parties who participated in the gathering and distribution of the private information of individuals should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis said that the dissemination of confidential information contained in the list was "highly disturbing." She also said the U.S. Department of Labor would assist the state in the investigation, if necessary.
"No one, regardless of race, gender or ethnic background, should fear that by applying for government benefits or programs he or she is at risk of having personal information revealed," Holis said in a statement.
The list was distributed to news media and law enforcement agencies by an anonymous group calling for deportation of people it included. The list contained names, birth dates, addresses, phone numbers, names of children and even the due dates of several pregnant women. It contained names from all over the state.
Within hours of the first stories about "the list," Hispanic leaders called for Herbert to investigate whether it came from state sources — and he did so quickly.
Latino activist Tony Yapias praised the governor's efforts. "He put this to an end," Yapias said after attending Herbert's news conference. "I appreciated his leadership." Yapias said the incident has been a good lesson for government employees on "how to keep your own personal political views separate from your job."
But Yapias questioned whether the employees acted on their own. "I don't think a state employee, on their own, is going to say, 'Check this out. Let's get this out,' " he said, noting the letter that accompanied the list used the same language as anti-illegal-immigrant groups.
Eli Cawley, chairman of the Utah Minutemen Project, issued a news release on Friday defending the workers who released the data, saying they are patriots and whistle-blowers who deserve praise and not criminal charges.

Efforts by ConocoPhillips to achieve the lightest weight possible for the superstructure of its Ekofisk L accommodation facility have been demonstrated by its selection of an underlay construction material.
The oil major has selected Boliscreed 400 for the high-profile North Sea unit, which will replace the longstanding Ekofisk H and Ekofisk Q as part of ConocoPhillips plans to prolong activities in the Ekofisk field by up to 40 years.
Ekofisk L's top side is currently under construction at Singapore's Sembawang (SMOE) shipyard, while the unit's support struts and structures are under completion at the Aker Verdal facility, Norway. The completed unit is due to enter service before the end of 2013. As well as acting as an accommodation unit, Ekofisk L will also be a new field centre for the Greater Ekofisk Area and the platform will be connected to the existing Ekofisk Complex via a bridge.
"Boliscreed 400 will cover an area of around 14,000m2 onboard Ekofisk L and will play a critical role in ensuring that the unit's steel surfaces are levelled to accept the installation of cabins and public spaces," said Jacco van Overbeek, Bolidt Director Global Shipbuilding Division. "The material is 20 percent lighter than conventional epoxy-based products."
In addition to its 552 cabins, the DNV-classed accommodation unit will also have space for a number of field centre functions, such as a heli-deck and hangars, 75 office workspaces and a number of auxiliary systems such as fire water and freshwater supply.
An experienced, multi-discipline team from ConocoPhillips is on-site at SMOE to monitor the construction of the topside itself, two bridges and one bridge support.

Key points:
- extremely poor website design (difficult to place the order)
- appalling customer service
- unreliable delivery
We used to shop with Tesco and they were much better than Sainsbury's, but we tired Sainsbury's because we thought the quality of products might be better there.
We'd booked Sainsbury's grocery delivery for Saturday evening at 6 o'clock, that meant that we had planned our weekend around the grocery order. In addition to this we had spent 2 evenings during the week planning the order. On Saturday the order didn't arrive however, and apparently this was because my wife had forgotten to click send button while she added 1 item to our £150 grocery order on Friday. The customer service informed us that all the effort we had put into this was wasted, and the order had disappeared??? How is it possible they systems are so poor that they can lose business like this?
Sainsbury's customer support did nothing to help us out! Absolutely nothing! We spoke to the manager and the manager just said I'm sorry we don't have any order for you??? What is this? How can you treat your customers like that?
We informed the manager that they would miss out our £3000 a year we spend on grocery shopping and they the manager wished us a nice evening.
I wonder how Sainsbury's is not out of business with this kind of behaviour.

Samuel Colt receives patent for his revolver, February 25, 1836
The Colt revolver had a revolving cylinder with five or six bullets and an innovative cocking device. Colt moved away from the idea of a multiple barreled revolver, instead using a rotating cylinder which would come into alignment with a single barrel. His design was a more practical adaption of Elisha Collier's earlier revolving flintlock. It included a locking pawl to keep the cylinder in line with the barrel, and a percussion cap that made ignition more reliable, faster, and safer than the previous designs.
Colt's US revolver patent gave him a monopoly on revolver manufacturing for more than 20 years. Colt's designs popularized the revolver and led to a shift away from single-shot pistols. They became so popular that revolvers were often generically referred to as Colts. The revolver became an industrial and cultural legacy and contributed to the development of war technology.
Apart from their use in war, the revolvers became a sidearm for civilians and soldiers. The weapons were a key tool in the westward expansion, helping soldiers and settlers fend off larger forces with the ability to fire six times without reloading.
When it came to the production of his revolvers, Colt was a pioneer of interchangeable parts and the assembly line. He founded Colt's Patent Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company in 1836, which is still in business today. Colt's Manufacturing Company serves the civilian market, and Colt Defense, provides weapons to the law enforcement, military, and private security markets worldwide. It is estimated that in its first 25 years of manufacturing, Colt's company produced over 400,000 revolvers.
When he died in 1862 Samuel Colt was one of the wealthiest men in America. He is best known for the engineering, production, and marketing of firearms, and was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2006.

On that assumption Ibuprofen 600 mgms at a go should relieve your pain.
External support may be helpful too there are ways of strapping some injuries that support the natural movement while reducing the effects of any instability of the joint. Physios are often good at this and it can help with pain control
In addition to all the above, a pack of budget frozen veg wrapped in a tea towel and held against the skin also helps.
I sympathise. You may find that massaging the area with Devil's Claw ointment might help (Holland & Barrett sell it). It takes a couple of days before you feel the benefits, but it does work. It's slower to take effect than Voltarol and the like, but unlike them it's OK to use it in conjunction with NSAIDs like ibuprofen pills. Good luck.

As I was stepping out the door for my taxi to the airport for my Christmas trip to the Canadian west, I saw my mailbox was full – it is the BurdaStyle book finally arrived. And I'm in it! (hi hi… just a bit part, really, but still!)
I have to say, after taking some timem to sit down and leaf through the book, I am very, very impressed. I've seen a lot of "beginners' sewing" books – remember, I was a beginner sewer not all that long ago, and I tend to do a lot of research when I get into a new area. Superficially, this looks a lot like a certain class of Beginners Sewing books, the project book.
But as you start to delve into it, you see it is so much more! It is a fascinating métissage, interweaving, of styles, creative ideas, thoughts and reflections on the act of sewing, of design, of pattern adjustment, from many different perspectives and cultures! As a result, it has appeal for all levels of sewing experience, a very different situation than is the case for most "beginner sewing" books. I love everything about this book, and I'm thrilled to have it with me on more holiday! Kudos to all involved in the book, but also to the wider community as the book incorporates their presence!

The code is in the ebook itself, so readers can easily find it once they've downloaded the book for any platform. You can find the code at the beginning of Chapter 2, "Using Patterns," in the instructions for the 5 individual BurdaStyle patterns, and at the end of the ebook.

I just got my copy in the mail today together with my coat. The book is great, I need to learn how to do alterations and really liked the ones presented. I have to say I would really like to see everyone's sketches too, since it was a big secret we could not reveal, now that the book is out, I would love to see them. It would be great if BurdaStyle could post a slideshow with the sketches. I had hoped to see my coat on a model too, plus some details about all the contributors. Did BurdaStyle have any behind the scenes photos that did not make it in the book? It would be fun to share. I like the book a lot and thanks for the opportunity! I can't wait for the weather to get cold enough to wear the coat :)

Nov 17, 2011, 01.23 AMby carottesauvageI am glad you mentioned it and totally second this! A slide show of the sketches is a great idea. Although, it was a great honour to contribute (and the book is beautifully didactic), like you I feel that each creation that was not presented on a model should be enhanced.
So yes, it would be nice to present each creation as the project of the week- like Mena Trott's today-, publishing those posts throughout the year. This way, each contributor would reveal the process, alteration, details etc…It will also keep the buzz going until the next book is published.

Hi guys! I just wanted to let you know that I pointed out the same thing on a yesterday's BurdaStyle meeting. David is looking for a way to introduce all the contributors' variations in details on the website – either as a photo gallery, or as an individual project that links to the book or as a project of the week, as Helene suggested. I'll do my best to highlight the importance of this to the team, since I feel the same way about my blouse and my work as a contributor.
Nov 17, 2011, 07.02 PMby mynameisdavid
Hi Mirela,
Great suggestions! I think it would be wonderful to show some of the contributor sketches. I'll look into how we could go about doing this.
Once all of the contributors have their garments (we're still processing shipments), we hope to do more with featuring all of the amazing creations that were made.

Good luck with the book launch tomorrow! I'm envious of all those who can be present! (Someday soon I'm going to come to New York and surprise all the BurdaStyle folks!)

You need to let me know when you go so I can fly in at the same time. Maybe some of the other members would like to get together at the same time.
