I'm a Java-software developer working mostly with web-application server-backend (mostly stuff like Spring MVC/JPA/Hibernate, some Linux/Unix-server administration and basic database administration). Currently I work as a Design Engineer at a software company specializing in per-customer-tailored Java web applications.
I got my Bachelor's Degree in Software Engineering from Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences (which is basically a fancy name for a polytechnic institute ;P).
I got interested in programming at a fairly young age, back in the early 90's, when I got an old Commodore 64 from a relative and discovered BASIC. After a few years I moved into the PC-world, and used languages like QBasic and Turbo Pascal. Since then, I've studied many languages, including but not limited to C/C++, Java and a bunch of different Basics (mostly related to game programming).

I dont want a hurricane ...just some rain or a few days here and there. It is getting old watering though. There are many of us on this blog that are desperate for rain. We dont need it in the fashion of a hurricane though
Can it get too "dry" to rain? Over the past week it seems like we had rain clouds over us ...nice big grey ones ...but no rain ...or maybe it rained and just didnt make it to the earth?

TechnoServe Featured in Global Agricultural Productivity Report
October 24, 2013
The Global Harvest Initiative's new report on food security spotlights TechnoServe's work with the poultry industry in Mozambique.
How can the world boost agricultural productivity to meet increasing demand while conserving environmental resources and improving people's lives? This is the subject of Global Harvest Initiative's fourth annual Global Agricultural Productivity Report.
By 2050, agricultural output will have to double to keep pace with population growth, changing diets and increasing demand.
The report, released last week at the World Food Prize Symposium in Des Moines, Iowa, examines the state of global and regional agricultural productivity. It seeks to identify sustainable solutions to improving productivity across agricultural value chains and the key policies necessary to support these measures.
The report cites four case studies, including TechnoServe's work with Mozambique's poultry industry, to illustrate how well-designed value chain programs can sustainably increase productivity. TechnoServe worked with players along the entire poultry value chain — from farmers and associations to companies and government agencies — to help the industry's sales grow from $25 million in 2005 to $160 million in 2009.
Read the report to learn more.

During a stay last month, I was impressed with how well this little motel was maintained. The room was clean and tidy. The exterior was obviously recently painted and I slept well in the firm bed. The only things I noted were that the rotating plate in the microwave was missing and that the tv remote didn't seem to recognize the tv in the room. Otherwise a good stay and I was refreshed for the continuation of my trip when I woke the following morning.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has accepted an award for making the government more open and transparent - presented to him behind closed doors. No media coverage or public access was allowed at the ceremony.
The White House didn't immediately comment Thursday on the apparent discrepancy between the honor and the circumstances under which it was awarded.
The award was given by open-government advocates including the
Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press to recognize Obama's
work toward encouraging agencies to release information to the public - and to encourage him to do more. The group's executive director, Lucy Dalglish, says she was flabbergasted that the White
House didn't allow coverage of the event Monday.

Four youth recently attended the Y-Camp, located north of Boone, courtesy of a local chapter of the National T.T.T. Society.
Bailey Price, Breanne Bielfelt, Nicole Bielfelt and Faith Angstrom, who were all fifth graders, were chosen last spring to spend the week of July 28 through Aug. 3 at the Y-Camp near Boone. The week at camp was sponsored by National T.T.T. Society Chapter EU of Boone. T.T.T. members found that a week at summer camp can have a lasting impact on the lives of growing girls. Each girl has the opportunity to appreciate her own worth, develop initiative, learn self-opportunity to appreciate her own worth, develop initiative, learn self-expression and live in harmony with others. The campers are provided with clothes, supplies, transportation and camp registration fees needed to attend camp for the week. Chapter EU stays in touch with the campers by planning events throughout the year and remembering them on birthdays and holidays.
The National T.T.T. Society is a non-profit, philanthropic organization of women. All chapters across the United States focus on one national project of providing a fun, educational camping experience to local girls.

I'm not really sure this is possible (or how to explain it properly)...
My hosting provider is Bluehost My Domain Registar of choice is Hover
For email I use google apps. What I would like to do, is be able to set up my DNS settings, for email and google apps through Hover and have it ignore the settings in Bluehost. From what I'm reading it doesn't seem like this is possible because my namesevers point to bluehost. My question is: is there any way to do what I'm saying or no? And if it's totally not possible, is there a better/different solution out there that I could research.
PS - The reason for this is because I'd like to be able to leave Bluehost, but I'm realizing that it will be a hassle to move a bunch of domains and all their DNS records, it would be easier if I could set all that stuff up in one place and change hosts easily.

For sleepy little ones everywhere, Newbery Medalist Patricia MacLachlan offers a lyrical Tanzanian lullaby that follows a loving family through their day.
The rhythm of the day's activities creates the melody of the evening's lullaby in this sweet song of family life along the banks of Lake Tanganyika. As the bright day shifts to twilight, the lantern on Baba's boat twinkles in the distance, sending the baby off into a peaceful sleep on Mama's shoulder. Inspired by a visit to her son, his wife, and their child in Tanzania, Patricia MacLachlan writes a gentle story of an African family's day from sunup to sundown. Rich, beautifully detailed illustrations by Elizabeth Zunon offer a restful complement to the Swahili refrain "lala salama"--an invocation to "sleep well."
About the Author
Patricia MacLachlan is the celebrated author of many timeless books for young readers, including Sarah, Plain and Tall, winner of the Newbery Medal. Her novels for young readers include Arthur, For the Very First Time; The Facts and Fictions of Minna Pratt; Skylark; Caleb's Story; More Perfect Than the Moon; Grandfather's Dance; Word After Word After Word; Kindred Souls; and The Truth of Me. She is also the author of many much-loved picture books, including Three Names; All the Places to Love; What You Know First; Painting the Wind; Bittle; Who Loves Me?; Once I Ate a Pie; I Didn't Do It; Before You Came; and Cat Talk, several of which she cowrote with her daughter, Emily. She lives with her husband and two border terriers in Williamsburg, Massachusetts.
Praise For…
MacLachlan presents a vision of African life that's serene and safe, and the mother's voice lulls, reassures, and soothes-it's rich bedtime listening for the very young.

HELP I have a cat that is just a year old. Lately he has started to yowl when he comes in the house. He wont stop! He goes out side during the day and comes in off and on to check on us. He doesn't yowl at this time but I don't like to leave my pets out all night long we have him come in at dusk. He starts yowling and runs from one end of the house to the other. Now I'm sure he didn't do this at first but he has yowled off and on for attention. It is starting to anger my family my daughter is really mad cause they go to bed early and he does this at her door. they don't want him in their room he is a long haired cat and Leo hates fur on his clothes. I want to get more toys for him and I want a cat stand he can climb on. That is my next thing I want to do. about him. I've tired to play with him and it helps some but I'm worried.
I know Jackson doesn't answer questions here but I need help! So, if anyone knows what I should do please tell me. I have a 9 year old male neutered cat. We've had him for a year. When we first got him he did NOT yowl. Then he ran away and was lost for 5 weeks until a local shelter picked him up. After I got him back he constantly walks around the house yowling and my nerves can NOT take it. I feel like I either have to take him back to the shelter where he will most likely be put down. Or I can spend another decade hating my life and never wanting to be around him. I love him. I miss the old him. I do not want to take him to a shelter. But he has disrupted everything in our lives. I have to booby trap my bedroom door to keep him far enough away from it so that we can sleep. I have no idea which Spirit Essence to use and it doesn't tell me on the website.
Hi Lisa, It sounds like your cat has been traumatized by being lost and is so stressed out, even after returning home, that he still feels the need to get away. If he were my cat I would try to not only give him EXTRA attention, but even take him to bed with me to give him extra reassurance that he is, in deed, safe. Having said this, our older cats seem to wander about and yowl as if they have been abandoned. My husband and I are seeing this happen with our 18-yr-old and our 12-yr-old neutered boys. In fact, the behavior of the 18-yr-old continually shifts and he has begun to demand to be let into our closet, even though he runs off as soon as he peeks his nose in there! We think he becomes disoriented and lost, much like an elderly old man. I know how challenging it can be with behavioral changes in our pet. Best wishes for you and your cat. Sounds like he needs special understanding right now. I would also have him checked out by a vet… just in case something is physically wrong with him. Good luck!
We regret that Jackson does not answer questions posted in the comments. This is due to his demanding schedule and the high volume of requests he receives. But most importantly, since he has not met your cat, it would be contrary to his approach for him to give specific personalized advice for your specific situation. That being said, general questions and issues are addressed throughout this blog, in his book Cat Daddy and of course, the show My Cat From Hell.

I'm begginer in asp.net mvc and I have some doutbs about routes.
Im' developing a system to manage documents and I need make an URL like this:
controller = "Home",
documentType = "",
documento = "",
action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional
and the app working an URL like theses:
"Document/Administrative/Contract" - (Index action by default to list documents of type 'Contract') "Document/Administrative/Contract/New" - (new action in controller) "Document/Administrative/Contract/10" - (detail action in controller) "Document/Administrative/Contract/Edit/10" - (edit action in controller)
Document would be a Controller, and Administrative would be just a description in url to identify that documents of 'Contract' is Administrative...
So, My doubts is about my controllers and actions, How should be the signature of the methods of controller ? Need I make an Area called Documents to do this more easy ?
PS: Sorry for my english!
Thanks a lot, Cheers!

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 @ 2.26GHz.
I've had this laptop for about 3 years and in the past month I've started getting periodic framerate drops in games. Usually the pattern is random, something like:
4 seconds of 29-31 ms/frame, 9 seconds of 66-68 ms/frame,
60 seconds of 29-31 ms/frame, 3 seconds of 66-68 ms/frame...
I've had this problem both in the game I'm developing (I'm a game programmer) and in OpenArena which I used to test this.
After some musing I think I've found the problem - the CPU is getting throttled, either to save power or to pervent overheating. Core Temp confirms this - it shows the CPU frequency fluctuating between 799MHz and 2260MHz and everything in between, and the low MHz periods coincide with framerate drops. This happens even when both cores have a temperature of 41 celsius, so I don't think it's due to overheating.
I looked for a setting to disable Intel SpeedStep in my BIOS, thinking I can go well enough without it, but there was no such setting in the BIOS (probably because of a custom OEM BIOS). I think this should be doable from my OS (win 7) too - I went to
Control Panel -> Power Options -> High Performance -> Change plan settings -> Change advanced power settings -> Processor power management and set:
minimum processor state for plugged in = 100%
maximum processor state for plugged in = 100%
cooling policy for plugged in = Active
But there was no effect, even after a reboot.
Interestingly, there are long periods (many hours) in which the problem disappears and the CPU stays at a stable 2260MHz. Then it reappears. :)
So, it's not because of overheating, and it's not because of power saving (as I've told Windows that I'm not trying to save power). Any ideas?
Edit: the laptop is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi-3525

Hi all! I am starting a blog at DoneDealPal.com. I have chosen to use the 3-column setup of the Mandingo theme running on the latest, greatest version of WordPress.
The one last thing that I want changed (I've modified the header/background of the Blue scheme) is to remove the silly little star graphic bullets that appear next to the widgets in both of my sidebars! I found the following:
I tried both editing the scheme.css and adding the lines to the HTML Inserts section, but neither of them seem to remove the bullets. I still see them using IE. Is there any way to blast them completely other than the methods on the page above? I searched through most of the php files and can't find where this image is even being referenced.
In the meantime, I have removed the lines from my scheme.css and HTML Inserts sections. Any help would be appreciated more than you know!
Thanks in advance!

Figured out why I was getting 403 errors when I was trying to go to Archives from my main page, and I don't think it was posted yet.
Check to see that you do not have a physical directory structure that matches your permalink structure.
Like if you have permalinks that look like 2005/05/blah-blah-blah, don't have a physical directory structure 2005/05/other-stuff or whatever.
I had moved over from Blogger.com to WordPress, and I had published my Blogger blog a few times. My directory structure for the published Blogger blog matched the permalink structure I was trying to use in WordPress. After I re-named the directory with the Blogger posts, I could access the WordPress archives like a charm again.
Before finding this out, I was able to access my 2005/06 archives just fine, but not my 2005/05 archives. Well, I had switched over to WordPress before June, so I hadn't published anything in Blogger in June.
About all I can say is that something "got confused" and out popped a 403 error.
Maybe someone else can offer a more technical explanation.

The Art of Hair: How to map the flow of your hair
Published: Thursday, August 16, 2012 at 3:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 16, 2012 at 3:22 p.m.
Wow. Everywhere I go in Hendersonville I hear how people are enjoying the articles and all I have to say is, thank you for spending the time to read them.
Michael Cohen is a hair consultant at Red Arbor Salon in Hendersonville. He writes a before-and-after column on the art of hair every other Thursday for BlueRidgeNow.com and once a month for the print edition of the Times-News.
The goal I had when I started the before and after articles was to educate you, the reader, on the art of hair, no matter who your stylist is.
From what I have seen at my shop, lots of clients are seeking a change and my client in this before and after is a reader just like you - ready for something new that is a better fit for her personalty and appearance.
As you see in the before picture, my client has a plain, old hair cut. This cut has no life at all, just the same old bob everyone has with no personalty toward her personal features or lifestyle.
Her face is square, which means she needs more volume at the top of her head. This makes the face look more oval in the after picture.
Also, it calls more attention to her eyes, rather than the neck and jaw. The cut not only makes her look years younger, it brings out her artistic flair.
Looking years younger with no fuss, my client wished she made the change sooner - who wouldn't?
You should know how to look at yourself and know what looks good on you, and this is how. First look at your face shape, then draw that shape on paper.
Next think of a oval. Look back at your face shape on paper and make that shape an oval. For example, if your face is square-shaped, you would put a half circle at the top and one at the bottom to make the square an oval. The meaning of this is that you need length in your cut.
If your face is a rectangle, to make that into an oval you would draw two half circles on the sides. This gives more width to the face.
Wherever you draw to make the shape an oval is where your hair should fall. This tells you what length your hair should be. Mapping the natural flow of hair is what makes the stylist know which cut is best for you.
The next article on Aug. 30 - you will be floored with my client's new look. Why? Because she owns a local flooring company. So until next time, always look and feel your best.
Contact Cohen at 865-414-6378 if you are interested in a before and after, or if you know someone who needs a before and after. You can also call the Times-News at 828-694-7872.

How exactly do you get the best Roofing Contractors Milwaukee? What are the things that you need to look into? Here are some of the most common things you have to do in order to spot the right company for your needs.
Do they offer residential, commercial and industrial roofing services?
There are different types of roofing services that you could avail of. Are you looking to have a residential roofing job for your home? Or perhaps, you are looking to have one for your business? Regardless of your requirement, you need to be aware if the company is capable of providing industrial, residential or commercial roofing services. For most occasions, roofing industry provides all of these roofing services.
Do they have sufficient experience in the industry?
They'd say that experience is your best teacher. As a consumer, this will also lead to the best contractors in the business. Experience has a way of teaching the contractors improve on their craft. It is now easy to invest on the most experienced companies. By simply looking at their website, you'll be able to see how many years have they been in business. This can give you an idea about the outcome of the job that they can deliver to your house.
How much for their services?
Next thing that you should evaluate is the price of their service. Should you necessarily go to the cheapest services? If you'll read the tips online, that is not something that they could suggest. However, what you want is to have the best bang for your buck. Try asking around for the price range of top Milwaukee roofing companies to have an idea who offers the best price, in relation to their skill and overall reputation.
Do they have any bad feedback from customers?
Bad feedback from customers can be used as a barometer whether or not to hire the company. Better Business Bureau provides one of the most transparent rating systems. It offers a venue where the consumers could actually file a complaint, while the contractor could settle the complaint with the consumer.
Do they offer insured services?
You don't want to be getting services from fly-by-night companies. Keep in mind that your roof is a long term investment that will not only protect you from the elements; it could also keep the bills down during the summer. Now, if you want someone who offers insured work. You want a company to at least give you a guarantee that they'll fix the job if the problem actually occurs.
The most common dilemma among homeowners is that they are confused on which contractor to choose. With the help of these tips, it is easier to pick the right company. It is also easier to thin out your options especially now that there are more and more companies offering roofing services.

Cricket Lee Takes On the Fashion Industry
As many women know, clothing sizes are a mess. Ms. Lee is determined to do something about it.
(See Corrections & Amplifications item below.)
Like many American women, Cricket Lee was furious with the fashion business. It was a struggle to find clothes that fit, and the sizes on the garments didn't help at all: Every company had its own standard, and few of them seemed to describe women's actual body types.
In 2002, Ms. Lee decided enough was enough. The Dallas product designer and marketer poured all her energy into taking on the apparel industry and changing the way it designed and labeled its wares. Her goal was singularly ambitious. She wanted to create a universal standard for sizing women's clothes -- based on body types as well as measurements -- that could be licensed by any clothing maker and used in any kind of apparel.
"My intention is to standardize fit," says the 55-year-old Ms. Lee. "This is what women in America want."
She couldn't have picked a bigger challenge. Reinventing any business is daunting enough. But the fashion industry is notoriously clubby and resistant to change, and it has been sizing clothes the same way for some six decades. On top of that, Ms. Lee is a relative nobody in the business: Before starting her crusade, her previous accomplishments included selling her own line of pet accessories at Saks Fifth Avenue and marketing clothes for a Dallas manufacturer.
Yet with a lot of legwork and determination, Ms. Lee got her foot in the door -- and is starting to realize her dream. Pants with her Fitlogic sizing system have made it onto QVC and the racks at Nordstrom and Macy's. A big apparel company -- Hartmarx Corp.'s International Women's Apparel division -- is using Fitlogic in some of its styles, as is high-end fashion designer Sherry Cassin.
For entrepreneurs with a big ambition, Ms. Lee's story holds lots of lessons. For one thing, raw persistence can open doors. Even without name recognition, Ms. Lee has landed meetings with major players in the apparel world, from Target Corp. TGT 0.72 % and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT -0.37 % to Diane Von Furstenberg's marketing director.
"She's like a dog with a bone," says Marshal Cohen, a retail analyst at market-research company NPD Group and a longtime booster of Ms. Lee's work.
Strategic planning has also been crucial for Ms. Lee. She made sure to do lots of homework before pitching her idea, and she recruited heavyweight allies -- such as Mr. Cohen -- to help her sell it. Moreover, she wasn't afraid to abandon key parts of her plan when they weren't working.
At the same time, Ms. Lee's story is a cautionary tale. Entrepreneurs who want to change the world have to be as patient as they are ambitious -- and they have to be prepared to take lots of knocks along the way. After six years and $3.5 million in money from investors -- mostly friends -- Ms. Lee has carved out just a small niche in the fashion world. And she has endured lots of rejections and frustrating close calls. Last year, for instance, a major apparel chain agreed to use Fitlogic in several pant lines at a new string of stores. But the weak economy put the retailer's plans on hold.
The Sizing Issue
PODCAST: Listen to an interview with analyst Marshal Cohen about the sizing issue and what it means for the apparel trade. Plus, hear about toy manufacturing today and the importance of the "Made in USA" label.
The Journal Report
How one company got outside money -- and still kept control. Plus, what should you call your business? It's more important than you may think.
- See the complete Small Business report.
"It has been a tough six years, but I have never thought of quitting or selling out, because I know this is the right solution to women's frustration with apparel," says Ms. Lee. "Women think there is something wrong with them when clothes don't fit. It's the other way around."
Fits and Starts
The sizing problem is one of the most tangled issues in the fashion business. Today's standards are based on data collected more than 60 years ago, from a very limited group of women: mostly young, fit Caucasians who served in the Women's Army Corps. What's more, when the fashion industry translated that data into a sizing system, it used a very specific type of model to test the fitting: curvy, 5-foot-8-inch women, usually in their 20s. For the most part, that's still the industry's target.
Ms. Lee discovered that this body type represents only about 20% of the female population. Over the years, American woman have gotten taller and heavier, and African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians -- who account for a growing share of the market -- often have different body types. The increasing use of vanity sizes further fogs the issue. Some manufacturers put a smaller size on a large garment to make women feel good about buying it. In addition, there's a lack of consistency in sizing across brands.
Ms. Lee started her crusade at a fortuitous time. A nonprofit research group, TC2, was undertaking the first U.S. sizing survey in decades, collecting data on more than 10,000 women across the country. Ms. Lee decided to use that data to come up with her own sizing system.
With the help of a pattern maker, she developed Fitlogic. The system breaks women down into three basic shapes: thick waist with thin hips; curvy but proportional; and thin waist with round bottom and large thighs, commonly known as "pear shaped." (Ms. Lee so far has concentrated on below-the-waist sizing, traditionally the trickiest fit for women.)
One of the first hurdles Ms. Lee faced: what to call the shapes. A creative team she hired came up with "straight," "curvy" and "round." But Ms. Lee's daughter, Natasha, who was 11 at the time, recoiled at being called a "straight." "No woman wants to be told they have a straight shape," she said.
So, Ms. Lee embraced Natasha's idea of labeling the body types "1," "2" and "3," respectively. In a store, shoppers would see that number combined with the size of the garment. A "6.1," for example, would be a size 6 garment for someone with a 1 body type. An accompanying graphic would show a silhouette of the body type.
But Ms. Lee realized she would need big allies to help her convince designers and retailers that fit was a big issue, and that her system could boost sales. She recruited Mr. Cohen to her cause with a chat over coffee. The analyst's research had found that frustration over the sizing issue was getting worse. More than one-third of apparel returned by U.S. women gets brought back because it doesn't fit well, Mr. Cohen discovered.
For the past several years, Mr. Cohen has been warning the apparel industry about the perils of bad fit and talking up Ms. Lee's system as a solution. (He isn't compensated for his efforts.)
Ms. Lee's other champion has been David Wolfe, creative director of Doneger Group, a fashion and merchandising consultancy. He met Ms. Lee while giving a presentation to an industry group on fitting problems. "I believed in what she was doing so much, I went with her on her first presentation at Target," says Mr. Wolfe, a 50-year veteran of the fashion industry. "It was the first of her many trials and tribulations."
Ms. Lee's 2003 presentation to Target was not only her first big pitch but also a huge turning point for her plans.
At first, she had planned to launch her own line of pants using Fitlogic sizing. But Target didn't want to take a chance on an apparel line from a relative unknown, Ms. Lee says. The company's internal fit manager also claimed that Target could create its own sizing based on women's shapes.
Target wouldn't discuss details of the meeting with Ms. Lee. A spokeswoman adds that the company "conducts extensive research to determine the appropriate sizes and corresponding specifications for our apparel collections, and we have never offered guests shape-based sizing options."
So, Ms. Lee hatched a bigger plan -- standardizing fit across the industry by licensing Fitlogic to as many apparel makers as possible. She would get a royalty for each garment sold using the system.
In the summer of 2003, her plan faced its first big test: a meeting with a Wal-Mart apparel executive, Celia Clancy. Ms. Clancy offered to buy the Fitlogic system to be used on nine sizes in one line for $270,000. Ms. Lee turned her down. "They didn't want to use my branding, but wanted to take it and do whatever they wanted with it," she says. "I didn't think that was the answer for the consumer."
Ms. Clancy, now an executive at TJX Cos., says, "At its core, [Ms. Lee] had something very interesting to offer women. We explored it further, but couldn't agree on terms."
Then, in 2004, Ms. Lee landed her first big licensee: Jones Apparel Group Inc., the maker of brands such as Jones New York and Anne Klein New York. The company used Fitlogic in a line of pants that sold on shopping network QVC.
Once again, Ms. Lee learned that she needed to refine her ideas in the face of setbacks. Orders were brisk on QVC, but returns were higher than Jones Apparel expected. The reason: Ms. Lee had just created a Fitfinder on her Web site that allowed women to put in their measurements and find their shape. But the algorithm she used worked for only about 50% of women. Today, the calculator works for 90% of women, Ms. Lee says.
Since then, she has won other big deals. International Women's Apparel, or IWA, has used Fitlogic sizing in several styles of microfiber pants. Last fall, Ms. Cassin, the designer, used Fitlogic in several styles of pants she displayed in trunk shows at high-end boutiques. She sold 500 pairs, 10 times more than she expected. "The results were amazing," says Ms. Cassin. "Women said this was as close to custom-made as you could find."
Now Ms. Cassin is approaching high-end department stores with five fall styles that use Fitlogic.
For all her recent successes, every step of the way has been tough for Ms. Lee. Institutional investors have rebuffed her pitches, leaving her to rely mostly on friends for money and other support. They donate frequent-flier miles for her travels and give her couches to crash on as she markets her system in different cities. In 2005, she moved to New York to be closer to the apparel industry, leaving her daughter in the care of her ex-husband. She flies back to Dallas most weekends.
Meanwhile, some deals that might have put Fitlogic in the limelight have fallen through. For instance, one Nordstrom Inc. JWN 2.22 % executive -- no longer with the company -- was a big proponent of the system. The executive agreed to let Garfield Marx -- a struggling apparel line that eventually folded -- use Fitlogic sizing in a test at 11 stores and online.
The test went well, but Nordstrom wanted Ms. Lee to find another brand to use the sizing. None were interested. (Jones Apparel, which tested Fitlogic in several venues, was struggling at the time and didn't want to invest in marketing the system.)
Familiar Arguments
And Ms. Lee and her advocates must face the same complaints again and again. IWA President Tom Hall is trying to talk department stores into carrying IWA lines with Fitlogic sizing. Mr. Hall says everyone who sees the system "loves it," but the stores' buyers worry that they will have to stock three times more clothing to cover the new sizes. Ms. Lee says stores would carry the same number of units in a pants line as before but tailor the inventory to their customer base.
Another complaint: Women need to be educated about the system before they're willing to buy into it. When Ms. Lee tested Fitlogic sizing on a Jones Apparel line at 20 Macy's Inc. M -0.11 % stores several years ago, the product sold quickly -- as long as Ms. Lee was there to explain the system to shoppers. "Whenever Cricket did an event, it was a runaway success," says Mark Mendelson, former chief merchant officer at Jones Apparel. "But the customer needs explanation."
Some industry insiders say manufacturers may fear they will incur an expense to add the shapes to the manufacturing process. Ms. Lee argues companies can simply reallocate existing resources. Of course, companies must spend extra to pay royalties for the system. But Ms. Lee argues they will make up the cost with increased sales.
Mr. Wolfe thinks the biggest hurdle is the industry mind-set. "The rag trade is competitive and tribal, they don't like to be dictated to," he says. "People in the industry are slow to recognize an obvious solution when it is right in front of them."
Still, the industry may be inching in Ms. Lee's direction. Chico's FAS Inc., CHS 1.01 % an apparel chain tailored to baby boomers with spreading waistlines, created its own sizing system; its styles run from zero to four to take the stigma out of larger sizes. Gap Inc. GPS 2.22 % 's Banana Republic uses names to describe the fit of its pants.
Now Ms. Lee is holding Fitlogic education sessions and fit trials around the U.S. Kathy Harvey, a 54-year-old Dallas housewife who attended one of the sessions, says she can rarely find a pair of pants that fit well because she has a thick waist. When she finds a pair that fits her waist, they're usually too big in the bottom.
After entering her measurements in the Fitlogic.com Fitfinder, she learned she was size 4, shape 1, in IWA's Alex New York pants. They fit on the first try. "When you're over 50, it's no fun to be in the dressing room, no matter how thin you are, so the faster you can find your fit, the better," Ms. Harvey says.
—Ms. Zimmerman is a staff reporter in The Wall Street Journal's Dallas bureau.

Corrections & Amplifications:
Product designer Cricket Lee employs an algorithm to help women find apparel that fits their specific shape. A previous version of this article incorrectly said she used a logarithm.

Just curious, what was wrong with your first couple DX's?

Great read! Here's a general question. I'm a chronic charger. My phone will be on 100% charged while I'm at work, but I'll still have it hooked...
Wow. After a day, I don't know why I didn't dump it sooner. Battery life has indeed improved and it seems a tad bit quicker. I don't know if...

Kino Der Toten Strategy Guide
by: SideDish120
This strategy guide will help you get these three very difficult and meticulous achievements:
The Collector
Sacrificial Lamb
See me, Stab Me, Heal Me
- Secret Achievement
I highly recommend going for
"The Collector
" on it's own. Then attempt to get
"Sacrificial Lamb"
"See me, Stab Me, Heal Me"
. This will be explained in detail below.
Things you need to get started:
4 players that will stick around for everyone to get the achievements.
4 players that are moderately experienced at this game. One person can go down and mess this entire thing up.
Let everyone know exactly what is going on. One wrong door that is opened can cause you to restart. So be sure everyone knows the plan.
Patience. This may take your team a couple tries for each achievement as sometimes you may get luckier then other rounds.
If you plan on moving to a new area/plan on buying a new weapon/upgrading a current weapon you have/moving around the map period. Always keep one zombie alive. Never forget this. Going from round to round will get you killed faster then you may ever expect.
Weapons of choice:
MP40 found in the double staircase room. It has a 32 round clip, and can hold at start 192 shots to reload with.
Melee with the
. Use it! It is really helpful at the start of rounds to earn easy points. Each Knife kill will earn you 130 points instead of the normal 60 for a regular kill.
Ray gun from the random box. If you can get this around wave 9+ and be able to upgrade it. Your team will be much better off.
First we will start with a basic layout of the map found below to get accustomed to it, and to know the basic strategy.
The first area you start in is known as the Lobby. This is the entire layout of the map in it's basic form.
The basic strategy to earn money to buy things, survive 13+
rounds, and earn your achievements:
Number of rounds played depends on player skill and luck with acquiring weapons.
Round 1 - 3
The first three rounds you will stay in the Lobby area as shown above. One person each will go to a window to defend it. Use the pistol ammo wisely. For each points, shoot a zombie 6 times. Then once he gets to the window, do a simple melee kill. You will surely run out of ammo by the second round if done correctly. Always be repairing the windows also. It's easy points and stops the zombies from getting in, but don't stand to close as the zombies can reach through the window and hit you. Two hits and you are downed, causing your team to abandon their window and need to help you. These 3 rounds no zombies should enter, and no one should have purchased anything. Save your money!
Between Round 3 - 4
During this round the person with the most money open the door found at the staircase in the upper right hand corner. Go through the room and continue until you find the other door, have another person open this one. Go down the stairs into a large room with two staircases going down on your right and left side. This is the next area you will be staying for the next couple rounds. As you enter the room, go to the right and have everyone buy a MP40. This will give you a huge ammo boost, a great weapon, and the points needed to progress as each bullet hit will give you 10 points.
Round 4 - 7
These couple rounds aren't difficult at all. Have two players watching the stairs at the top where you originally came from through the door. This is where the majority of enemies will come from. Have another player watching the bottom doorways while killing enemies, while the other watches the window found on the far end of the upper floor(this player will always keep the last zombie alive by just continuously rebuilding the barrier in the window).
Between Round 7 - 8
Once you have completed round 7 and left a zombie alive, you will need to move to the final location found in the very far back of the alleyway area. DO not turn on the power found in the Theather area next to the M16. This is saved for later. The alleyway is the final location where you will bunker down from now on. Gather ammo and get prepared to fight hordes of zombies.
Round/s 8+
*Do not open the door that is in the back of this alleyway no matter what. Opening this door will negate the funnel you are trying to create with the alleyway for zombies to come at you.*
Here you will have 3 players be facing the area you just came from.(Aiming at the fenced area). This is where all the zombies will be coming from. Player 4 will stick to the back of the area near the stairs. Here is a window in which zombies will spawn also. His job is to kill zombies, but to make sure one is always left at the end of a round and to make sure no zombies come from behind.
Between the rounds after 8
This is where leaving the final zombie at the end of a round is critical. It allows other players to run into the other areas of the map to buy ammo and upgrade their weapons.
Other things to know/remember:
Never open the back door under any circumstance in the alleyway. It will ruin the plan completely.
Always keep a zombie alive during the end of each round. This will keep the game going longer and longer so that you can keep trying for your achievements.
Turn the Power on after in between rounds 8 - 9. Doing so will allow you to use the machines that give you extra abilities.
Dogs will come every 4-6 rounds. You will hear, "Fetch me their souls!" Huddle up into a corner and watch the area in front of you. The final dog killed will always have a Max ammo.

For 25 centuries the Parthenon has been shot at, set on fire, rocked by earthquakes, looted for its sculptures, and disfigured by misguided restorations. Now, a team of architects and engineers is investigating the many mysteries of this icon of Western civilization : How did the ancient Greeks design and build their masterpiece so quickly? How did they achieve such precision and perfection without modern tools and architectural aids that we take for granted today, such as comprehensive plans or drawings? With unprecedented access to the Greek government's Acropolis Restoration Project, which has been restoring the Parthenon for over three decades, Nova takes viewers inside the minds of the ancient Greeks as they created their most enduring architectural miracle ..."--Container.

PARIS: Marseille missed the chance to climb back into second spot in Ligue 1 as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Rennes in Brittany yesterday.
In an entertaining contest, Marseille led at the interval thanks to a strike from Ghana star Andre Ayew, who bulldozed his way through the home defence and exchanged passes with Mathieu Valbuena before poking the ball past advancing Rennes 'keeper Benoit Costil.
However, they were pegged back just before the hour mark when defender Kevin Theophile-Catherine powerfully headed home a right-wing corner for a rare goal.
Both sides had chances to go on and win the game after that as the action swung from end to end.
Ayew's brother Jordan put Marseille back in front with just seven minutes remaining after Morgan Amalfitano sent in a tantalising cross but in the 88th minute, Rennes rescued the point they deserved.
A long clearance from Costil created confusion in the Marseille defence and Romain Alessandrini nodded the Bretons level to move them into fourth place, six points adrift of Marseille and one ahead of Nice.
The draw leaves Marseille three points behind leaders Lyon - 2-0 winners at Valenciennes on Friday - and adrift of Paris Saint-Germain on goal difference before the capital club entertain Lille today evening. On Friday, Lyon shrugged off a constant stream of transfer speculation surrounding key players and a difficult start to the New Year on the pitch by going to Valenciennes and winning 2-0 courtesy of goals by Gueida Fofana and Bafetimbi Gomis.

Bollywood actor Kunal Khemu was injured when an angry mob pelted stones at the actor and the crew who were shooting for a romantic single in Lucknow. The incident took place in the wee hours of Saturday, June 11, when the unit was shooting at the historical 'Bada Imambara' in old Lucknow.

In arranged marriages, the family looks for the bride to be younger than the groom, but this is no longer the trend or norm. There are men who fall in love and marry older women and vice-versa. Bollywood actors Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover fell in love on the sets of their film 'Alone'. Bi
Recently, it was reported that Bollywood couple Kunal Khemu and Soha Ali Khan are headed for a divorce. But Kunal has strongly reacted to the reports and dismissed them as rumours. The 'Bhaag Johnny' actor took to Twitter and rubbished the reports of his trouble in his marriage with Soha.
