2010 sewing review
I love looking at other people's 'what I sewed this year' posts. I think there are a couple of reasons. Some of it is just the inspiration factor of seeing all the beautiful garments people have produced. The other reason is that I really like the extra context you get from seeing all of a […]

Tartan Philosophy skirt finished
Just before Christmas I finished what will probably be the last project of 2010, another version of my knockoff of the Vivienne Westwood Philosopy skirt, this time made out of the fabric left over from the tartan dress project. I tweaked the pattern from my previous attempt. I pegged the skirt hem a little, although […]

Emergency sewing supplies
Being on holiday from work but at home means I have some extra sewing time. However I have no projects lined up after the current skirt (about a third of the way though and progressing rather slowly) as I was intending to go fabric shopping in London after Christmas and see what inspired me, and […]

Dream fabric
I often find myself imagining a project and then being completely unable to find suitable fabric to produce it with. We're fairly short on fabric shops where I live so serious fabric shopping means taking a whole day and travelling to London. I know a lot of people buy online, but I find I really […]

Non-obvious in hindsight
After finishing the tartan dress I had quite a lot of the fabric left over. It's a polyester/viscose tartan bought from Remnant Kings in Glasgow. I was casting round for something to make out of it and eventually decided to do another version of my Vivienne Westwood Philosophy skirt knockoff. Tartan is a very Westwood […]

80s flashback
I finished the tartan dress. The background to this is that few years ago (long before I started sewing) I saw a Yohji Yamamoto dress in Selfridges that I really liked but couldn't possibly afford. I can barely remember a lot of the details now, but this is my take on the features that did […]

The zip is IN
I have produced the first half decent exposed zip I've ever managed! I can really recommend the exposed zip technique at http://aces.nmsu.edu/pubs/_c/C-221.pdf (it's a PDF so you'll need Acrobat Reader or Foxit or similar to view). This is for the kind of exposed zip where the zip is installed under the fashion fabric, like an […]

The Pennington Biomedical Research Center has named David Winwood its first chief business development officer in an effort to move research discoveries on health, prevention and treatment of chronic diseases into the global marketplace, according to a new release.
As the CBDO, Winwood will lead outreach in pursuit of new business initiatives, strategic partnerships and sponsored research, and the development of commercialized technologies, the release says.
"With this investment in Dr. Winwood and the team and resources he will assemble, we are growing our business model to meet today's research challenges," Dr. William T. Cefalu, executive director of Pennington said in a statement.
Winwood has more than 20 years of experience in technology transfer and commercialization to Pennington Biomedical.
Winwood comes to Pennington Biomedical from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he held dual roles of senior associate vice-president for economic development and innovation alliances and chief executive officer of the research foundation.

This is one of my slightly secret, favorite places to go on rare occasions, and it's very special to me. I remember the last time I was here, I was insanely happy — the kind of happy where everything is warm and just on the cusp of making sense. I climbed out on some rocks and was so distracted by taking pictures, that I didn't realize the tide had come in and I ended up completely stranded in the middle of the ocean. I had to be helped back to shore and almost lost my camera, and I didn't even care cause when you're that happy, you could fall into the water in a million-dollar outfit and not give a damn.
Today I was not afforded such stupidities.

My response is to the original post found here: The 10 rules of a Zen programmer.
Some preface. I'm a big fan of reading. On slow days I can get through around 250 news articles, scientific journals, white papers and blog posts. Some of them deal with space, AI, technology, and algorithms, surrealist fantasy or humor, or pieces about lifestyle and workflow. I'm very careful to first cultivate articles that grab my interests. Today for instance, I read about positive results in the quantum superposition of very large particles that are subjected to the dual-slit experiment. I also read an extremely down-to-earth article that solidified what I knew about Fourier transforms. I try to keep the signal-to-noise ratio as high as I can. But even so, a lot of signal eventually turns to noise, and I get particularly excited when my jaded eyes come across one piece that sticks out above the rest.
I am not going to comment on each rule the author Christian Grobmeier touches on, who already does a great job expressing in the article. You should read his article first. Just like the title suggests it is tailored loosely towards programming and Zen Buddhism (of which Grobmeier practices,) however the author does not mandate or imply you have to be a programmer or spiritual for these rules to apply to your life. I would recommend the reading regardless of your beliefs, occupation or skill set.
Just as a disclaimer: I know next to nothing about Zen outside of what was mentioned in this article, so forgive me if I make improper assertions. I am also using bullets because these points do not actually correlate with the enumerated rules that Grobmeier lists in the article; I am just collecting and commenting on themes I have noticed throughout. Here goes:
- If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. Christian didn't use these words, but he expounds upon this dad-like maxim with several additional concepts. Firstly, he explains that if your job detracts from your life—and that is to say if you have a job that you dread and gives you no opportunity to grow, and you are also one of privilege that can find a new job that has more positive qualities—you may just want to consider finding a new job. At the same time, when you are tasked with something you hate, try not make a scene over it. "[Zen monks] have stuff to do like cleaning the toilets. Or working in the garden. Or as a Tenzo, they cook." The key part is in the next sentence: "They do it with all the care they can get. Whatever they do, they do it without suffering and they are (or should be) happy, because every second, even the second where they are cleaning toilets, is a second of their life." Even the simplest of jobs done with great care. That is a great theme.
- Focus, intent. If you need to work, work. If you need to sleep, sleep. Both are important, and you should never mix the two. Don't work 12 hours and then go back to work 6 hours later on little sleep. If you are falling asleep at your job you might want to go home and rest. When you are working, though: focus. Working for you may entail constant interruptions from phones, chat messages, notifications. This is not focus. Focus with a deep passion like it's your first day of your new job. Focus on one task as if what you are doing is your magnum opus. Focus like what you're doing is more important than checking your Instagram feed.
- Death of the ego. This is a common theme in some theological and meditative practices. By meditating you increase your awareness of the direct interconnectedness of everything. You become more empathetic, and less selfish. This isn't just some new-age trend. Meditation is healthy for you. We're finding it might even make you less of an asshole. Western culture can be very competitive rather than collaborative, so maybe try to work meditation into your routine. Fierce competition in society is very poignant and evocative of some of the culture today. It is important to note that peaceful cooperation usually tends to lead to a higher rate of success and lower stress all around. (Aside: I know I have another article supporting this but cannot find it at the moment, sorry.)
- Awareness. Every word you say and action you take has a consequence. Someone who is especially aware can carefully craft their work in a way that is artful and strikingly beautiful. Act on this awareness by doing everything with care, as I mentioned earlier.
- Flow. Situations change. People lose their jobs, people are born, people die. You are not excluded. Accept it as part of the flow, and be less concerned and caught up about the transient. Especially things that you cannot control. This does not mean "do not mourn" or "do not be sad", but be more accepting of the highs and lows (and the possibilities of future highs and lows) of day-to-day, year-to-year life.
One last point that I've extrapolated from this article: be aware of the beauty and sacredness around you. Grobmeier expresses this in a charming way, first briefly flirting with Nihilism and then bringing you right back to the serenity of Zen:
"You live alone and you'll die alone. World goes on, even without you."
"A flower is beauty. But it's just a beauty (sic) flower – nothing more. There is nothing special around it. You are a human who can program. Maybe you are good. There is nothing special around you. You are of the same kind as I am or all the others on this planet."
"After (hopefully) a long time you will die and everything you have created will be lost. Even pyramids get lost, after a long time. Do you know the names of the people who build up a pyramid? And if you do, is it important that you know? It's not. Pyramids are there, or not. Nothing special."
"Don't be too sad when the winter comes and don't be too happy when spring comes back. It is just a flow."
The exact opposite of the rat race. The antithesis of leaving a legacy, of being the top person in your field or being famous. Grobmeier accepts the flow, the inevitability of life and death. But Grobmeier is ok with it. That sounds pretty Zen.
Edit: Moments after posting this I found several other comments debating the use of the word Zen and some of the concepts discussed within the article. So take this post as a derivative of the original and understand that I am not interested in arguing the semantics. As with anything your encounter take it all with a grain of salt.
Also, drastically and absolutely adhering to any life philosophy comes with its own set of exceptions and caveats (no one actually does that, do they?) So I found the original article both positive and inspiring and that is why I wanted to share it—even if others will continue to debate the accuracy of details on the internet it does not discredit the original work at all, in my mind. Cull the good from it. Cheers.

"I'm thrilled that the Wilson Phillips family is coming back together again," says Phillips, 42, who entered a treatment facility for anxiety in February, five months after her half-sister Mackenzie Phillips claimed she had a sexual relationship with their father.
"We've known each other for more than 20 years," Chynna says of her bandmates. "We're like family. I'm excited about working with the Wilson sisters again."
The new album, due in October on Sony Masterworks, will feature classics such as "White Christmas," plus new, original songs. Wilson Phillips also kicks off its first tour in years Wednesday in San Antonio. Future tour dates will be announced soon.
"Christmas is a special time for all of us, especially because we now all have kids," Carnie Wilson tells PEOPLE. "That's why this is a perfect album for us."

Italian-owned Recordati said today it completed its $100 million purchase from Danish-owned Lundbeck of all rights to a portfolio of 10 drugs for rare and other diseases marketed mainly in the U.S.
Recordati paid $80 million up-front for the acquired portfolio, which the company expects will generate revenues this year of around $40 million. That's down from the roughly $45 million generated by the products in 2011, according to Lundbeck, which has said the remaining $20 million will be paid subject to product registration transfers.
In today's statement, Recordati said it is committed to R&D of new drugs for rare diseases as well as within the cardiovascular and urogenital therapeutic areas. Recordati finished 2011 with a net income of €116.4 million (about $155 million), on revenues of €762 million ($1 billion).
Through its Recordati Rare Diseases unit, Recordati will manage a portfolio whose main product is Panhematin® (haemin for injection) for recurrent attacks of acute intermittent porphyria. Other drugs acquired from Lundbeck include Chemet® (succimer) for lead poisoning in children with blood lead levels above 45 mcg/dL; Cosmegen® (dactinomycin for injection) for rare cancers Wilms' tumor, childhood rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, and metastatic, nonseminomatous testicular cancer; Desoxyn® (methamphetamine hydrochloride) for attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity and exogenous obesity; and Indocin® (indomethacin injection), designed to close a clinically significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in premature infants.
Also, Mustargen® (mechlorethamine HCL for injection) for Hodgkin's disease (Stages III and IV), lymphosarcoma, chronic myelocytic or chronic lymphocytic leukemia, polycythemia vera, mycosis fungoides, and bronchogenic carcinoma; NeoProfen® (ibuprofen lysine injection), also indicated for PDA; Peganone® (ethotoin) for control of tonic-clonic (grand-mal) and complex (psychomotor) seizures; and Tranxene® (clorazepate) for management of anxiety disorders or short-term relief from anxiety. Lundbeck included another portfolio product in the original announcement, Elspar® (asparaginase) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), though the company earlier told healthcare providers it will stop selling Elspar as of Dec. 31, 2012.
Lundbeck first announced the acquisition on Dec. 14: "This divestiture allows us to sharpen our focus on advancing therapeutic approaches for people with psychiatric and neurological disorders—disease categories where we've recently launched three new products in the U.S., and are poised to launch several more within the next year," Ulf Wiinberg, Lundbeck's president & CEO, said at the time in a statement.
The two companies have shared business ties for years before the portfolio announcement. In 1995, Recordati agreed to distribute in Italy Lundbeck's antidepressant citalopram (Elopram®/Seropram®), followed in 2002 by a distribution pact for citalopram's successor, escitalopram (Gaudium®).
Founded in 1926, Recordati is headquartered in Milan and has operations across Europe and Turkey and a field force of around 1,700 representatives. Recordati has said it will hire several of the Lundbeck employees supporting the products involved in the deal.

Malcolm in the Middle, Tutoring Reese
Francis comes home for a visit from military school, but he doesn't exactly get a warm welcome. As soon as he's in the door, Mom tells him to go fix the roof because Dad is afraid of heights. When Francis refuses to do it, Mom kicks Francis out of the house. Francis decides to live in the basement of his friend's house. And this place is a dump. There are holes in the walls and a dead rat which makes the whole place stink.
While Francis enjoys life at the Dead Rat Hotel, Malcolm is busy trying to keep Reese from failing school. Malcolm helps Reese study for a big test, but Reese still ends up with an F. The next test is do-or-die for Reese. If he doesn't do well, he'll have to go to the "special class" - and we all know what that means.
So, they come up with a plan for Reese to cheat by getting the genius Malcolm to take the test for him. Malcolm writes the test for Reese, but Reese still gets an F. How is that possible? Well, it turns out that Reese's teacher really is out to get him. The teacher has been failing Reese because he doesn't like the way Reese picks on other kids all the time. So Reese isn't as stupid as everyone thinks - his teacher is just a jerk. When Mom finds this out, she threatens to turn the teacher in if he doesn't fix their roof. The teacher is soon joined on the roof by Francis who agrees to help out after one too many nights in his friend's dark, damp, rat infested basement.
Do you have any teachers who are total jerks and always out to get you. your terrible teachers stories to Kidzworld.

MUSKEGON, MI – Is this the right time in Muskegon's history to explore a downtown convention center?
A subgroup of the Muskegon County Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee is mulling that question right now and formulating a recommendation to pursue a study of a downtown convention center, funding possibilities for needed building upgrades at the L.C. Walker Arena and connecting key downtown buildings with enclosed walkways.
ATAC is expected to decide whether to recommend a $25,000 or less study of a downtown convention center and related public facilities issues. The recommendation would be to the Muskegon County Board of Commissioners, which would make the final decision on whether to spend county room-tax dollars to investigate a downtown convention center.
So, what do you think?
Is the time right for Muskegon to pursue a downtown convention center? If so, how big of a facility would serve the community and its critical tourism industry? Where should a convention center be located and how should the community pay for it?
These are all good questions and a study could expect to provide some answers.
Tourism and downtown promoters suggest this is the right time to be asking the questions and investigating the answers. The economy has improved and development activity in downtown Muskegon has again begun after being stalled by the recession since 2008.
But the issues facing Muskegon County and the city of Muskegon go beyond a convention center. Possibly most pressing are the infrastructure needs of the L.C. Walker Arena – the community's home of the Muskegon Lumberjacks and other events and activities.
The L.C. Walker Arena needs a new roof and new boilers just to name a few of the elements of a renovation plan that needs to be drawn up. How do the arena's needs and its future as a sports and entertainment venue square with a new convention center? How does the community pay for both? Or does it?
Tell us what you think by taking the MLive poll below this post. Add your comments on what tourism industry leaders, ATAC members and county commissioners should be thinking about concerning the concept of a downtown convention center.

Pill-sized device uses spinning laser to image the esophagus
Barrett's esophagus is a precancerous condition typically caused by chronic exposure to stomach acid, and is usually diagnosed by inserting an endoscope down the patient's throat. A tool has been developed, however, that should allow for a quicker, easier way of getting a good look at such peoples' esophagus – it's a swallowable capsule that contains a spinning laser.
The device was created by a team at the Harvard University-affiliated Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, led by Prof. Gary Tearney.
The transparent capsule is "about the size of a multivitamin pill," and is attached by a thin tether to an imaging/control console. Contained within the capsule is an optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) system, which incorporates a rapidly-spinning near-infrared laser. As the beam swings around, it strikes the adjacent esophageal lining and is reflected back into the capsule, where photosensors detect it. Using that reflected light, a highly-detailed 3D map of the lining is created.
According to Tearney, the microscopic-scale images reveal "much more detail than can be seen with even high-resolution endoscopy."
Additionally, the capsule can simply be swallowed by the patient and carried down the esophagus by normal muscle contractions, then retrieved by pulling on its tether. Images are acquired both on the way up and down. The patient doesn't need to be sedated, no special lab or extra equipment is required, and the person administering the procedure doesn't need to be trained in endoscopy.
It's also fast. Whereas a typical endoscopic examination reportedly takes about an hour and a half, the capsule can image the entire esophagus in less than one minute – a more complete examination, involving two passes up the esophagus and two down, takes about six minutes.
Test subjects who have tried the new procedure, and who have previously had experience with traditional endoscopy, state that they prefer the capsule.

An aging population and fragmented industry.
The combination represents a good business opportunity to Steven Davidson to not only grow the business but also diversify its revenues and geographic footprint.
"The demographics are working in our favor," said Davidson, the CEO of Agility Health in Grand Rapids, a provider of physical therapy that seeks to grow its outpatient clinics around the nation.
The company operates 35 outpatient clinics, primarily in Michigan, including 13 under the Advent Rehabilitation banner in a joint venture with Saint Mary's Health Care in Grand Rapids.
Agility Health's latest acquisitions — in Arizona and Missouri — represent the first deals in a strategy to actively grow the number of outpatient physical therapy clinics it operates across several states.
Of the 13 Advent Rehabilitation clinics, eight were developed by the company as startup operations.
"Now we're really hitting the road with acquisitions," Davidson said. "It's a business opportunity, and it's a stabilizing opportunity as well as building our portfolio."
Agility Health provides physical and occupational therapy and speech pathology at 110 locations in 12 states through operations that include outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities, hospitals and employee work sites. The company, which records more than 1 million patient visits annually and also offers software services to care providers, holds a contract to provide physical therapy for workers at all of Ford Motor Co.'s plants in the U.S.
Agility's goal is to eventually generate half of its annual revenues through outpatient clinics, which accounted for about 10 percent of revenues two years ago and nothing as recently as 2003.
The latest acquisitions include Amato Physical Therapy Associates Inc., which has two locations in the St. Louis area, and Continuum Wellness Clinics, an operator of three clinics in Mesa, Ariz.
Agility Health is discussing potential deals with existing clinics in Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Boston and Canada, Davidson said.
The company has no specific target on the number of outpatient clinics it wants nationwide, other than to grow its footprint and look at opportunities where it makes sense, Davidson said. It will target clinics that have strong management teams and where the culture and staff can blend well with Agility.
"We have very simple goals. We want to be a well-run organization, and we want to grow," said Davidson, a physical therapist and an MBA. "We turn away nine opportunities for every opportunity we accept."
Growth has not been a problem of late for Agility Health. The privately owned corporation grew overall revenues between 20 percent and 25 percent in each of the last two years and hopes to do the same for at least another two years, Davidson said.
Agility Health employs about 1,000 people, some 200 of them in the Grand Rapids area.
Driving the new acquisition strategy is a combination of factors that include an aging population that will drive up the need for physical therapy, plus a growing tendency by health plans to steer members toward therapy first, rather than surgery, to treat back and neck injuries.
Data shows an estimated 16.3 million U.S. residents suffer a sprain or injury annually. Four out of 100 have limited function from musculoskeletal injuries, a rate that climbs to 11 out of 100 for people age 65 and older, according to a 2009 report by the Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
The industry is also quite fragmented, Davidson said, with 25,000 independent outpatient clinics in the U.S. and 10,000 in Canada. He cites data that shows the eight largest providers account for just 11.3 percent of the U.S. market and the top 50 operators represent just 25 percent.
Overall, physical rehab is a $19.2 billion industry in the U.S., with $10 billion of it coming through outpatient clinics.
In pursuing deals, Agility Health looks to partner with existing clinics as much as possible, typically those started by clinicians who may find themselves at a crossroads with the business "and don't have the resources to grow that business," Davidson said.
Agility Health can provide those resources, he said, while retaining the leadership, staff and local name of the acquired clinic.
"We want them to still feel an ownership in that business and they run it," Davidson said.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- After July 1, supermarkets and other retailers selling tobacco products will be required to possess a state license to legally sell such items. Furthermore, much like a liquor license, it must be displayed in an easily visible area of the store. Retailers who continue to sell tobacco products without this license after July 1 will be subject to fines of up to $5,000 and other penalties from the state, including criminal prosecution and perhaps even incarceration. ...

Ask Dr Henry
What do you think about chiropracters?
The term chiropractic comes from the Greek for "done by hand." It was invented in 1895 by Daniel Palmer, who believed that the cause for all disease was a misalignment (or "subluxation," as it is called in chiropractic) of the spine. He therefore felt that the cure for everything was straightening out these subluxations through spinal manipulation.
Palmer was quite rigid in his view about this. Many chiropracters who were trained in his school eventually came to disagree and branched out to include nutritional and other physical therapies in their practices. Today, what a chiropracter can do is governed by the laws of the states they practice in.
I think the spine is important in the general health of the mind and body and that there is a place for manipulation in one's health care. Keep in mind that chiropracters are not the only practitioners who are trained in manipulation. Osteopathic physicians (D.O.'s), as part of their schooling, and some M.D.'s on their own initiative have received training as well.
nough of my patients tell me they have been helped by chiropractic or osteopathic manipulationĐ particularly for certain kinds of low back and neck painĐ that I do not hesitate to refer them for manipulation if they so desire. I do not think there is anything dangerous about manipulation in the hands of a skilled practitioner.
Lastly, in my opinion, any chiropracter who, like Palmer, insists that subluxations are the cause of all disease and need to be reversed for healing to occur would be someone I'd advise staying away from. If a chiropracter insists you keep coming in three or four times per week for months, and you don't feel any significant improvement, I'd suggest, at the very least, a second opinion from another practitioner.

Manheim to BIG Screen
Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning "The Practice" star Camryn Manheim, 40, has reached a seven-figure deal to produce and star in a self-referential feature film about her own experiences as a bit player on movie sets, reports Variety. The project, to be called "The Extra," reportedly focuses on a delusional extra who ruins the life of a movie star, although it's not particularly clear which movie star Manheim could be referring to. Her movie credits so far include small roles in "The Road to Wellville" with Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Broderick, and "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion" with Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow, "Jeffrey" with Steven Weber and "The Bonfire of the Vanities" with Tom Hanks, Melanie Griffith and Bruce Willis. "I feel like I won the lottery to be producing my first feature film with Bill Mechanic," Manheim, referring to the head of the production company that's behind her movie, told Variety. For his part, Mechanic calls "The Extra," "an entertaining yet daring idea."

Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to:
•How queer theory can de-center area studies' insistence on national and linguistic coherence
•Take up Peter Jackson's recent term "multiple queer modernities" by locating the rise of national cultural markets that emerged historically in parallel to Western capitalism
•Explore queer regionalism (Gayatri Gopinath) or methodology of "queering Asia" (Ara Wilson) that may bypass the national and the diasporic altogether
•Theorize a "new area studies" (Jing Tsu's term) or a new queer critique that may emerge in the aftermath of thinking these two fields together
While this panel will take place in a scholarly meeting in the discipline of Comparative Literature, it is my hope that scholars from other disciplines like American Studies, cultural studies, anthropology (just to name a few) or anti-disciplines who are interested in these topics can contribute to our discussion.
Instructions for submitting your abstract: Please log on directly to the ACLA submission portal for individual papers at (http://www.acla.org/submit/index.php). Please note the 5PM CST deadline on November 15, 2011. Select "Queering Area Studies" as your interested seminar when you submit the abstract. You need not be a registered member at the time of submission. Feel free to direct any inquiry about the conference and my seminar panel to Alvin Wong (email@example.com).
Panel format: ACLA conference has a unique seminar format where each panel has 8-12 participants that meet over 2-3 days for 2 hours everyday, with roughly 4 people presenting each day.

carry on boxing or keep modelling?
what's up guys?
I am new to this forum but have been boxing for quite a while now (not competitively - will start if I get over my dilemma).
However I am in a very stupid situation at the moment. I am a student and have been earning my money to support myself through modelling.
My problem is that I love boxing! All what I do all day is box in the air (when not at the gym) and watch boxing on tv/internet.
So I am not sure what to do, keep on boxing (I know I won't turn professional) and let my model agency to f*** off! Or shall I quit boxing because I need the money?
The thing that is scaring me is that I will eventually break my nose sometime very soon (as do most boxers). I don't give a f*** about the pain but am too scared that my face will look f***ed up after the break and hence my job will be on the line...
What shall I do guys? I am really stressed over this...

Don't see why you couldn't do both. Safety first fighters can do well in this sport. Boxing also helps your modelling in terms of having a lean physique... By the time (if it even got that far) you started seeing your face start changing..I doubt you'd want to be modelling at that time anyway and would hopefully have your career started by then.

Stay in modeling but use boxing as a why to stay fit. Like you said, you'll probably never go professional and you'll probably make more money modeling.

Depends on how much you're making modeling. If you're making a livable wage modeling I'd stick to that for now, you'll only have a few years of that... If you're not looking to go pro, than you really don't have any hurry on the boxing... Stick to the gym, work the bags, mitts, some light sparring with good headgear.
Or if you're really worried about it, get the headgear with a noseguard, you'll probably have to try a couple different styles of these as some block your vision (especially uppercuts).

You say you know you won't turn professional in terms of Boxing, so why take the head punches?
You can still do pad work, bag work, speedballs, shadowboxing, skip rope, roadwork and body sparring to keep your physique in shape and enjoy the boxing vibe/training.
No need to stress over it.

Didn't see Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews & Orleans Avenue close out the Acura Stage at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell earlier this month? Here's another chance to see and hear what all the fuss is about – for free. Andrews, New Orleans' newest breakout star, and Orleans Avenue showcase their exuberant synthesis of rock, funk and R&B during the free weekly Wednesday at the Square concert downtown in Lafayette Square, across St. Charles Avenue from Gallier Hall. Westbank Mike opens the show.
New Orleans Nightingales, Three Muses, 7 p.m.
Hot jazz singer Ingrid Lucia assembled this all-star ensemble of local female vocalists. Together, they harmonize and alternate lead vocals on a diverse program of classic and classic-sounding songs.
Tin Men, d.b.a., 7 p.m.
An only-in-New Orleans combination of a washboard (courtesy of Washboard Chaz Leary), an electric guitar (Alex McMurray) and a sousaphone (Matt Perrine). Together they roll out original material and the occasional Led Zeppelin cover, done in their own, idiosyncratic manner.
Walter "Wolfman" Washington & the Roadmasters, d.b.a., 10 p.m.
The Wolfman has spent decades in local clubs, mixing up soul, funk and blues. He and his Roadmasters are among the most authentic, and dependable, bands mining that particular vein of New Orleans music.

I have been reading these forums for a while and have learned a ton of great things. I have been primal for about 3 weeks now and have lost ten pounds. I have a long way to go for optimal health but I feel great. My energy is up, I am sleeping like a baby and have seen some odd little bonuses happening to my body all ready.
I think my favorite part of this process is learning to cook primal. I have always been a good cook and the challenge of converting my cook book to primal has been fun and incorporating primal ingredients is not only tastier but healthier. I intend this to be a lifestyle rather than a diet/exercise program so incorporating one of my favorite hobbies helps a lot.
I am very happy with being primal and as my weight continues to go down I will start incorporating exercise as well.
Welcome, Thomas!
I've been primal for about the same amount of time, and I've had almost an identical experience to yours. Even without exercising as much as I'd like, I found I've effortlessly lost inches around my hips, and more importantly, I feel great (sleeping better, clearer skin, more energy, better mood overall).
Isn't it great to find something that just makes sense and works?!

Senior Correspondent Michael Ryan spends a lot of time on the road and in the air. "I must have logged 50,000 miles in the last year," he says. "I've got 200 hotel room keys to prove it."
For this week's story on Boston Mayor Raymond Flynn (page 89), Mike, 33, stayed closer to home than usual. A Harvard grad, Ryan first met Flynn in 1974 when he was covering the school busing crisis for the Boston Phoenix and the future mayor was a state representative. "He's older and more forceful now," says Ryan. "But we're both 10 years older."
Winner of the prestigious Penney-Missouri Magazine Award in 1979 for a profile of Mayor Flynn's predecessor, Kevin White, Ryan has taken on a variety of assignments since he joined PEOPLE five years ago. Last spring he accompanied Walter Ehlers, a World War II veteran, to Normandy to relive the experience of his landing 40 years earlier. "Ehlers was like a character out of a Frank Capra movie," says Mike. "He was too good to be true—a Medal of Honor holder with a genuine belief in patriotism and duty. I don't often meet people that I'm incapable of being cynical about."
Ryan was also among the first reporters to get into Grenada last year, when the Reagan Administration staged its lightning invasion there, but his journey was not without a struggle. "I screamed and yelled for three days to get aboard a plane from Barbados," he recalls. "When I got on, there was just one seat. I couldn't take a photographer, so I took pictures myself. When we were shot at by guerrilla mortar, the Army put us in a dump. I think they were trying to tell us something."
More recently, he spent several months crisscrossing the country reporting the long-running John De Lorean story. "I remember sitting in Howard Weitzman's office," he says of De Lorean's lawyer, "and having this guy tell me that he was going to get his client acquitted, I thought he was either in dreamland or a genius."
Mike lives with his wife, Debora Gilbert Ryan, 33, an artist, in Manhattan. Whenever they can, they escape to their beachhouse in North Carolina, where Mike is working on a novel. His first book, Climbing (1980), was a social satire that presaged the whole Yuppie movement. How well did it sell? "The usual," Ryan says wryly. "It got great reviews—and boxloads of returned copies."

10/10. I don't see why they wouldn't give it that score. I haven't heard any complaints from the people who played the demo, so.......
Brawl builds up off of Melee, and they gave melee a 9 somethin out of 10, so I'll say 9.8-10

Well, their biggest gripe from melee seems to have been improved (subspace emissary is gonna ROCK, especially since it's co-op so my twin and I can play at the same time) so it's gonna probably be higher than the score from melee.
What was it exactly?
I believe the least would be 9.0

ah, I was thinking this meant TSE = Taming Side Effects from (abandoned? :( ) M# work. would love to see a public talk on that too ...
You are right, it's not a sinking ship. It already sunk. Who is using .NET and what the hell are they using it for? I'm sure there are insurance companies and other random boring Innotek organizations in non-tech focused companies still out there using .NET for equivalently boring software development. If you enjoy that that's cool. I don't. No one is advancing computer science, nobody is working at the brink using Microsoft technology. Including Microsoft. I'd love proof otherwise, because honestly I think C# and .NET is quite well designed. But I can't find any counterexamples.
Not sure if it "advances computer science" but Power Map is an IMO pretty cool app we shipped v1 of early this year which had its UI implemented (partly by me :) ) in WPF :). Even the 3D visualization engine was mostly C#.
@ScanIAm: Bribing developers doesn't really work for very long because it means they don't have any skin in the game.
edit: never mind, apparently while wpf is part of the .net 4.5.x "look but don't touch" reference sources, it's not confirmed the open source licensed 4.6 reference sources will actually include all the same libraries.
yeah that didn't make any sense to me either. if anything the proliferation of platforms and having to develop cross-platform will probably make this sort of middleware more, not less, in demand.
Correct. Windows 8.1 was developed by the full Windows engineering team like a full Windows release, just one with a shorter timeframe (1 year instead of 3). It wasn't developed like a service pack (which are indeed made by a separate maintenance team, WinSE/WinCXE).
Seems like they could just make the marketing splash around specific features (or groups of related features added at the same time with an overall "story") rather than monolithic releases.
Anyway even if they just continue to release annually-ish (like OSX, iOS, WP, etc. - or like 8->8.1->8.1S14->10) that's still a departure from their 3-year pattern, and they could still call them 10.1, 10.2, ... (like OSX).

Right you have to enable dev mode, which is also trivially possible to disable to revert back to the previous state. When you are in dev mode and you start up a Chromebook, for 30 seconds on boot (completely wrecking the "fast boot" niceity too, btw), the thing says "hey, you are in dev mode! if this is wrong, press the space bar." Yes, really, the space bar. There is no "are you sure?" either, it completely wipes your Chromebook the moment you press that space bar, accidentally or otherwise. If you install a different OS, all your files, and everything are gone as Chromebook reverts to its original state.
There are hardware hacks to avoid this, but even they aren't perfect for many Chromebooks. This is actually my biggest compliant with Chromebook: it's hard to alter, even if you want to.
lol, I was thinking of buying a chromebook to put some distro on because people on forums said they made good cheap Linux laptops but now I see those people were clearly insane.

Wrenches, screwdrivers or pullers — school bus mechanics need to feel comfortable with the tools of their trade. We asked garage professionals about how to choose the best tools for the job, and here's what they had to say. "Brand" influence is big
Personal taste is a huge factor in tool purchases. Just like buses, brand recognition is high. Some guys swear by one brand, some swear at them. For my money, Snap-On produces the best tools available, but you'll pay through the nose. Home Depot carries the Husky line of tools. Especially for entry-level mechanics, these are some of the best deals going.
Wayne (N.J.) Board of Education
Good tools are everywhere
After 30 years in the field, I have seen a lot of tools in use. Yeah, Snap-On is good, but you gotta work 'em hard to justify the exorbitant prices. I've got some Snap-On tools I bought 30 years ago that still look good and work fine. I've also got some Craftsman tools and other kinds that are just fine, too. Since almost all the manufacturers are offering lifetime warranties, you can buy just about anybody's tools and get good use out of them.
Central Bucks School District, Doylestown, Pa.
Profits ahead of quality?
Tools have changed a lot during the past 20 years. It used to be that any name-brand tool would last and perform OK. But during the past five to 10 years, some manufacturers have placed profits over quality, so you must be careful.
From what I have seen, there is no single source for all your tool needs. You will end up with tools from various vendors. But you can't go wrong with Snap-On. Craftsman tools are common as well. Most of the people I know with Craftsman tools are very budget conscious, but they also make a trip to Sears every so often for warranty.
Commercial Truck & Trailer Repair, St. Paul, Minn.
Tool envy is a problem
I have learned that most mechanics end up being tool collectors. If they work in a large shop, it's like a competition exists among mechanics to out-do the next guy. I was like that, but it didn't take me long to realize that I shouldn't buy a tool if I didn't need it.
The easiest places for me to buy tools are local tool distributors and industrial supply warehouses. Occasionally, you will have a specialty tool that you can only obtain from a certain manufacturer, but I have found that Craftsman, Williams, Blackhawk, Proto, etc., all offer very good tools that will perform perfectly well for most school bus applications. Although I do own many Snap-On and Mac tools, I have found that some of these tools wear out just as fast as the other brands.
Park City (Utah) School District
Quality is worth the investment
Some of the reasons for buying high-quality tools in a bus shop include reducing mechanic fatigue, reducing the injury rate and not damaging fasteners and parts. It's the same as buying high-quality lubricants, tires and vehicles, despite the higher up-front expense.
Lake Washington School District, Redmond, Wash.
Craftsman, at a discount, is best
Since my wife works for Sears, I get a tremendous discount for Craftsman tools. Although not everyone can get that discount, I would still recommend Craftsman tools because they have a lifetime warranty and are half the price of Snap-On and Mac.
Iowa Grant School District, Livingston, Wis.
District supplies the tools
We supply mechanics with tools. We insist that they do not bring any personal ones to work. I purchase from many sources, mostly Snap-On. Larger tools stay in the tool room. I don't purchase Craftsman for my shop. The wrenches are OK, but the sockets do not stand up.

Anyone read(ing) Making a Killing by Capt (ret) James Ashkroft? He writes of his experience working for Spartan as a private contractor in Iraq. An interesting read. Plenty of contacts and commentary about the situation in general. Hes not very complimentary regarding the trigger happy yanks in general either. I cant speak to its authenticity having never done that job, but I enjoy his writing style and sense of humor.

For the first time, both Mayor William Bell and City Council members will be running at the same time. That'll mean a council member interested in running for mayor will have to give up his or her council seat.
This far out (the election is Aug. 27), it doesn't look like Bell will have a serious challenge for mayor. Of course, there are always the gadflies and perennial candidates who don't stand a chance but really like hearing themselves talk.
This may be among the most politically motivated paving in a good while. The $9 million is divided up so that each council member gets $1 million for his or her district to apply to street repaving.
Each council member is supposed to give a list of streets to pave to the mayor's office. One would think the worst streets should be paved first -- as council President Roderick Royal is having done in his district. Royal has refused to turn in a specific list, but saying to pave the worst.
In fact, only three council members -- Steven Hoyt, Kim Rafferty and Lashunda Scales -- have turned in lists as of Friday. Even so, Hoyt criticized the system in a story by Birmingham News/AL.com reporter Joseph D. Bryant. "The most inequitable way that streets can be paved in this city is the way that is being requested, and that's because there is the temptation for elected officials to turn in the streets that may yield some kind of benefit," said Hoyt.
Hoyt is absolutely right.
There's surely more than $1 million worth of needed repaving in each district -- so by picking and choosing, a council member can please those he wants to please. Of course, it could backfire, too, if the council member picks wrong.
While Bell may not have serious competition for mayor, you can bet most if not all council members running for re-election will face serious challenges.
Paving the right street may help an incumbent fend off competition. But it's too bad that there's any council member discretion to start with; such projects should be based on need, not politics.
What do you think?
By the way, which names are floating around out there as possible candidates for mayor or City Council?

18.30-20.30, Monday 26 March, The Anatomy Theatre and Museum, King's College, London
Illuminating the Mind presents the discoveries from a week of performance research by a diverse range of practitioners exploring sensation, disorder, and the relationship between visual and aural aesthetics. The project takes as a case-study an extract of a piece by one of the most significant post-war German composers, Boris Blacher. Trained as an architect before assuming the directorship of the Berlin Academy of Music, Blacher is a composer intimately acquainted with the challenges of audio-visual work. Abstrakte Oper Nr I offers a profound assessment of the operatic genre in the 1950s. Synchronic and non-narrative, the opera combines abstraction with the figurative expressionism of its seven scenes, which chart a cyclic process through a range of emotional experience. Blacher's emotive essentialism and tonal disorientation combine to express the (dis-)integration of mind and body. Explored through the site-specific venue of KCL's Anatomy Theatre and Museum, the workshop dissects an 'anatomy' of human emotion, where internal and external states are inverted, individual and cultural experiences confused, and sensation performed.
We focus in depth on the second scene of Abstrakte Oper Nr I, 'Schmerz', which will be contextualized by responses from three speakers. This is preliminary research for the British premičre of the opera as part of the Opera Group's Future Bodies in 2014.
PROGRAMME: Boris Blacher: Abstrakte Oper Nr I, 1953: 'schmerz'.
- Etoile Chaville (singer/dancer); Dan Large (lighting)
- Frederic Wake-Walker (Artistic Director)
- Speakers: Edward Campbell (University of Aberdeen), Charlotte de Mille (The Courtauld Institute of Art), Frederic Wake-Walker (The Opera Group)
Open to all, free admission but numbers are limited. Advance booking online by Friday 23rd March: http://courtauld-institute.digitalmuseum.co.uk
The event has been made possible by the generous support of the London Centre for Arts and Cultural Exchange in collaboration with The Opera Group's funders, The Arts Council and The Jerwood Foundation.
Organised by Dr Charlotte de Mille (The Courtauld Institute of Art) with the Opera Group
