See how the All-New BMW X6M Review faired in its first UK drive
Auto Express have test driven the All-New BMW X6 M and give their verdict on the M variation of the niche X6 range.
All-New BMW X6 M Test Drive All-New BMW X6 M Enquiry
BMW's highly acclaimed M division has got its hands on the second generation X6 and have added their own typical unique twist. "To call it fast would be an understatement", the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 taken from the M5 saloon provides an exceptional power upgrade to the standard X6. Despite a boost to PS, the level of torque has seen a dramatic increase from 680Nm to 750Nm. Such an impressive jump sees the SUV propelled from 0-62mph in a remarkable 4.2 seconds; faster than a Porsche 911. With "barely any lag from the twin turbos", the X6 does a great job of "pinning you back in your seat as you progress."
Combining this terrific power with the eight-speed gearbox, the M powered BMW X6 certainly "flicks through the ratios in the blink of an eye." As you would expect with any M car, the X6 "benefits from a raft of settings that allow you to alter the steering weight, throttle response, damper firmness and gearbox ferocity." The handling for the X6 M is something that needs to be experienced to be believed. Belying its size, "you'll be blown away by the poise with which this huge SUV handles." Combining the four-wheel-drive system with the massive brakes, the 2.3-tonne X6 not only grips great, it can stop incredibly quickly.
The interior of the X6 M sports the customary swathes of leather in addition to the M steering wheel and contrasting red and blue stitching; which combine perfectly to produce a cabin with a distinct air of exclusivity. The standard features include a "massive, dash-mounted navigation system and IDrive set-up, along with a crystal-clear head-up display and Bluetooth connectivity." The addition of even more standard features and a number of optional extras such as the superb Bang and Olufsen stereo system and electric sunroof finishes off this M powered masterpiece.
Some of the highlights of the All-New BMW X6 M:
- Home to the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8
- The X6 M is capable of 0-62mph in just 4.2 seconds; quicker than a Porsche 911
- Executive quality interior with the exclusive M steering wheel and contrasting red and blue stitching
- With the seats down the X6 M has capacity of 1,525 litres
- Features the brilliant BMW four-wheel-drive system
Experience the All-New BMW X6M for yourself. Arrange an All-New BMW X6M test drive today.

Memorial Day Weekend Event
The Kinetic Grand Championship, the world's original art triathlon, runs every Memorial Weekend, starting in Arcata and ending on Main Street in Ferndale three days and 42 miles later. Forty to fifty entries are typical, with anywhere from one to ten people on each contraption, and there are usually several survivors by the end. Just kidding. But they really do ride pedal-powered sculptures over land, sand, mud and open water, while wearing silly costumes and singing silly songs. Sure, many people would do this for enough money -- witness television. But there is no money. And the trophies are homemade works of art by local sculptors.
The Bay Crossing where vehicles and kinetinauts test their mettle against wave, tide and man eating clams. View from Halverson Park along the waterfront at the foot of L Street or the Boardwalk in Old Town. All this will be followed by a romp to Table Bluff Hill and a well earned night's rest at a campground along the Eel River.
They cross the Eel River, amuse the cows on Ferndale bottoms roads and enter Main Street Ferndale covered in mud, with a well earned sense of accomplishment and a giant smile. The awards Ceremony is held after a supper at a Ferndale venue.
Thousands of people flock to Ferndale for the annual finish line which is the intersection of Main and Brown Streets.
The Kinetic Grand Championship was initiated by metal sculptor Hobart Brown in Ferndale, Humboldt County, on the North Coast of California. All Hobart did, at first, was change his son's tricycle into a goofy five-wheeled contraption. Ashamed of his midnight fantasies, he hid the child's toy. Later at a party Ms. Marty McGonagh (sp?) rode the Pentacycle around inside the gallery. At that moment, bronze sculptor Jack Mays pronounced himself "not impressed," and a friendly challenge to race "kinetic sculptures" (Jack's words) down Main Street, Ferndale on Mother's Day.

Morning Natural Gas Market Report
NATURAL GAS closed higher on Wednesday and the midrange close sets the stage for a steady opening on Thursday. Stochastics and the RSI are turning neutral to bullish again signalling that sideways to higher prices are possible nearterm. If it extends the rally off June's low, February's high crossing is the next upside target. Multiple closes below the 20day moving average crossing are needed to confirm that a shortterm top has been posted.

Of the 100 1964 Gordon-Keeble GK1s built, 95 are known to have survived.
1960 Gordon-Keeble GT
The Gordon-Keeble's whimsical badge didn't stop journalists from touting its performance.
Handsome Anglo-American in an Italian suit never clicked
Anglo-American sports cars have a fine tradition, dating back to the early 1930s and the arrival in Europe of the 1932 Ford flathead V-8. Significant collector car names include AC Cobra, Atalanta, Batten, Brough-Superior, Jensen, Railton and even Morgan, with the Buick-sourced Plus 8.
A rare and worthy addition to the list is the Gordon GT designed by 21-year-old Giorgetto Guigiaro in his first job at Bertone. The handsome four-seater coupe was shown at the 1960 Geneva Motor Show and powered by a Chevrolet Corvette 283-cubic-inch V-8, with a four-speed transmission and Dunlop disc brakes all round.
he project got started when John Gordon met race car driver Jim Keeble in 1959. Keeble had opened his own garage in Eastleigh in Hampshire, and was intrigued by the Peerless — a four-seater fibreglass coupe which was built from 1957-60, using a TR3 engine and chassis. About 325 cars were constructed before the company went bankrupt, though it was revived briefly as the Warwick in 1961.
Gordon left the Peerless in 1958, disappointed by sales, but he met Keeble when the latter was fitting a 3.5-liter Buick V-8 into his car, in search of more power. The two immediately began to plan the high-quality Gordon-Keeble GT and formed a company to manufacture the car. Despite the prototype's warm reception, production would not commence until 1964, but 99 Gordon-Keeble GK1s were built between 1964 and 1967, first in Eastleigh and then in Southampton.
Beset by supplier strikes and unrealistically low prices, the company failed in 1965, but was rescued by Harold Smith, and nine more cars were built in Southampton. The company failed again in 1968, but continued to tantalise investors. American John De Bruyne built two more cars for the 1968 New York Auto Show, but nothing came of the attempt to move construction to the U.S.Journalists spoke glowingly of the Gordon-Keeble's performance, despite its whimsical badge, showing a tortoise surrounded by laurel leaves. The 300 horsepower, 327 cubic-inch Chevrolet V-8 was good for 0-60 mph in under six seconds, a quarter mile came up in 15.6 seconds, and top speed was near 140 mph. The de Dion rear end and four-wheel independent suspension made for excellent handling and the Dunlop disc brakes were up to the task. But the hand-built car was expensive at an initial £2,798, rising to £4,058 for the last examples, and Gordon-Keeble lost money at that price anyway.
The first Gordon GT was built of aluminum (and the chassis design would eventually reappear in Italy as the Iso Rivolta) but production cars had fibreglass bodies built by Williams & Pritchard. Unlike the Peerless and Warwick, which were criticised for poor fit and finish, Gordon-Keebles were well constructed, with handmade, square-tube frames and insulated by foam rubber injected between the tubes.
Not surprisingly, the combination of subdued, but handsome styling, careful construction and bulletproof reliability led to faithful followers who could afford 16-20 mpg, and eschewed Bristols or Jensen Interceptors. A club was formed in the UK in July 1970 by Ernest Knott, who had bought a Gordon-Keeble and was keen to meet other owners. The first meeting took place at Silverstone and attracted 16 cars.
Amazingly, 95 of the 100 cars are known to the club (the 100th was built in 1971 out of leftover parts) and the 40th anniversary in 2004 was notable for attracting 40 surviving cars. The club is shooting for 50 cars for the 50th anniversary. You can contact them through their excellent website for information about joining, detailed history, scheduled gatherings and technical advice.

Buying a Gordon-Keeble is probably most easily accomplished through the club, but two cars came up at auction in 2010, both 1965 models. The first sold for £16,853 at H&H Auctions in Warwickshire in March, while the second was a no-sale at Bonhams December sale at Brooklands for £33,468. That same car appears to be for sale by a dealer at present, with an impressive asking price of £47,450, while another example is being offered by another dealer for £34,995. All of which suggests the H&H buyer did rather well.
1954-55 Triumph-based, Swallow Doretti roadsters have a loyal, worldwide following, and 200 of the 276 that were built are still on the road.

Re: What-if Analysis on Bom Component Quantityuser729142-Oracle Sep 14, 2011 1:14 PM (in response to Lokesh Rathi)If the component quantity is a function of parent and child, then you cannot load it into a measure in either parent or child. There is no easy what-if support. YOu will have to use uploadable report and use batch calculation for supporting this.1 person found this helpful
2. Re: What-if Analysis on Bom Component QuantityLokesh Rathi Sep 21, 2011 1:09 AM (in response to user729142-Oracle)Hi ,
We are able to load the GDPW for Die level (only one stage )and we have a condition to validate if the measure is null it will take the component_Quantity or else it will take the 1/GDPW measure value. we are doing it for 3 purposes :
1. To get the Accurate value of GDPW which is equal to 1/Component_Quantity (GDPW will be accurate only if we get 30 decimal places value in calculation)
2. As part of information provided to Users as they wanted to see it.
3. To do What-if Analysis (if Possible).
We could have use 'todouble' for the accuracy but we were thinking of what if analysis, and user visibility also.So far calculation is coming nicely but it would be appreciated if you can give pointers for the risk involved in keeping GDPW as measure.

Setting up my Will and and Living Trust . Not sure it the Executor of the Will and The Living Trust Trustee should be the same person .
This is a great example of why it pays to consult with an estate planning attorney. Generally, I prefer to have the executor(s) and the trustee(s) be the same person for continuity. However, there are circumstances which might direct you otherwise. It would be well worth the time and expense for you to at least discuss this with a local estate planning attorney.

Thank you Eric,
By Trustee, I presume you mean a successor trustee who takes over after you are gone, right? I agree that a successor trustee and an executor can often be the same person, but sometime might best be different.
I agree with the prior advice that you might want to spend a few bucks to make sure you get all of the aspects of the will and trust mapped out correctly.
good luck

I think it is a good idea most of the time for the trustee and executor to be the same person.

Armes: You'll have to try harder
'You won't win her if you continue like that you know.' I said to Jadir as we collected wood together.
'What do you mean?'
'She doesn't like being bossed around, believe me I know. She likes having her own freedom and doing what she likes.'
'But she is a princess, she already has that freedom.' Jadir looked confused. Poor thing, he thought he knew her so well.
'It is the fact that she is a princess that takes away her freedom. Why do you think you were sent to bring her back? She doesn't belong here, at this camp, with these people, she should be back at the palace, looking beautiful and graceful. Instead she wants to have the freedom we have, to be warriors and have adventures. If you want to win her heart then you have to see past her as a beautiful princess and see her as a person.'
'Maybe I'm just not good enough for her.' Jadir looked so sad. He saw Ramin as more of a threat than I'd realised. 'I don't blame her, she's so beautiful and I don't have anything she would want.' I didn't take my eyes off Jadir's face. From where I was standing there was a lot to like about him. OK so he wasn't the sharpest arrow in the quiver but he had a good heart, even if his methods weren't quite right. And he was handsome, that made up for a lot.
'Trust me, she'd be lucky to have you.' I gave him a quick hug and peck on the cheek and wandered off towards the centre of camp, my arms filled with wood for the fire.
I made sure the horses were comfortable before sitting down to eat with the rest of the group. I could tell there was something going on between Ramin and Naria. Although they were sitting apart their eyes kept meeting over the fire.
Later, when I had a chance to speak to Naria alone I warned her about the humans. 'Be careful. We don't know who he is and until we do we shouldn't get too involved.'
'Too involved? I've left my home and my father for this. I think we are already too involved.'

Victorique is forced to try and solve the murder of Queen Coco.
Suppose one can't ever deny that Kujo is an energetic person. I mean some might feel that hanging over a ledge and screaming Victorique's name might be silly, but he does it anyways. Of course after the first couple times I probably would have actually headed down to her rather than calling her name another three or four times. Though really in this episode he probably called her name over twenty times. Kujo's a good guy, but seriously simple minded. He seemed to have problems coming up with different words to say like his repeated "thank god" moment. Saying something once and leaving some silence after isn't a bad thing. Really by the end I was just shaking my head.
It's funny since Kujo then balances that kind of behavior with being really helpful in this episode. This has been one of his best episodes in the role of assisting Victorique with investigating things. Seems like he's starting to get a feel for the reality of that world, which is that everything is somehow related. Anyways it was good for him to be firm about finding more clues for Victorique and bringing enough information that she can go and find the rest on her own.
This case is looking rather interesting and the implications are pretty big. It's looking like Coco could actually be alive. The secretary job was obviously a search for a double of the queen so they could pull off this trick. I can't believe that Coco was the one who died since there'd be no point in having a double. Of course it then brings up the question of where she is now and why anyone would pull this kind of trick off to begin with. I wonder also if Sophie is somehow connected to things. She's been brought up a few too many times and to some extent everything in these mysteries is related. Though for certain the guys she is sitting near are connected to this case somehow.
These magic people really are annoying sometimes. I mean restricting Victorique's movements and then hitting her with herbs was just a bit too much. While Victorique's deductions can be a bit of a stretch sometimes she isn't using magic here. Doing all that stuff is just going to be annoying to her. Of course they are working for a man who believed Leviathan was really a powerful alchemist who could create an army of homunculus for him. Kind of weird how they mix logic and magic together sometimes. They give Victorique information and yet resort to rituals when it isn't working fast enough.
The double Brian situation did make me wonder a little. Seems likely the one chatting with Kujo was the real one since the other was silent. Seems possible that he had a stagehand help him out with this deception. He's got enough people working for him so it shouldn't be impossible. Though creating all that wind was a pretty impressive trick.
Seems like the Coco case will be solved pretty soon and then it will be the showdown with Victorique's father. That arrogant guy really has to be stopped.

Last Wednesday was an emotional day for those associated with the Foran High School baseball program, and it had little to do with Foran's 5-0 loss to rival Law.
<img src="http://a.espncdn.com/espncitysites/boston/prod/assets/hs_connect_110.jpg" alt="Connecticut" class="floatright" />Earlier that day Foran named its baseball field after Ken Walker, who served as Foran's baseball coach from 1986 to 2003, and then from 2011 to 2012. He passed away last June at age 60.
Walker won 279 games during his tenure as Foran's baseball coach – all of his teams qualified for the state tournament – but he also guided the Foran football team to the 1994 Class M title.
Walker graduated from Milford High School in 1969 and then played baseball at Central Connecticut State. He was a three-sport athlete in high school (he also played football and basketball) and coached at all three Milford high schools: Milford, Foran and Law.
"I saw, probably, every public school athlete that came through Milford in the last 48 years," former Milford baseball coach Dick Jeynes told the Connecticut Post. "In my opinion, he's arguably the best all-around. That's my opinion because he was outstanding at all three – football, basketball and baseball."
Walker's son Garrett replaced is father as Foran's baseball coach.
"I've never thought about it as anybody else's field except his," Garrett said. "In my eyes, it's finally getting the name I think it deserves."
Ten players to watch during the 2013 CIAC baseball and softball seasons:
•Anthony Alicki, P/1B (Foran): Senior has committed to play at Franklin Pierce, one of the top Division II programs in the country.
•Charles Ameer, P/SS (Weston): Has been clocked in the low 90s. Will continue his baseball career at St. John's.
•Matt Blandino, P (Bristol Central): A possible selected in June's MLB draft, Blandino has committed to play at Central Connecticut State.
•Michael Concato, P (Amity): Concato, a senior, posted an 11-2 record with 108 strikeouts and a 0.61 ERA last season. He will play at Brown.
•Manny Cruz, P/INF (Wolcott): Hit .503 with 28 RBIs, and was 6-0 on the mound last season. Has committed to Southern New Hampshire University.
•Kyle Dunster, P/OF (Greenwich): Dunster, a junior, has committed to play at Boston College.
•Griffen Garabedian, OF (Notre Dame-West Haven): Batted .403 and stole 12 bases as a junior last season. Has committed to play at the University of Connecticut.
•Aaron Hill, INF. (Fitch): Hill has also committed to play at the University of Connecticut. He hit .395, scored 21 runs, collected 19 RBIs and stole 11 bases last season.
•Will Rios, P (St. Bernard): Only a sophomore, Rios has already committed to the University of Maryland.
•Ryan Testani, P (Shelton): Helped Shelton win the Class LL state championship last season, when his posted a 9-3 record and a 1.31 ERA. Testani has committed to Seton Hall.
•Fallon Bevino, OF (Foran): A three-year starter, Bevino hit .450 with 22 RBIs last season as a sophomore.
•Sydney Ferrante, SS (Southington): Batted .453 with 46 RBIs as a junior last season.
•Hannah Ford, C/3B (New Fairfield): Ford, a junior, hit .525 with 25 runs scored and 21 RBIs last season.
•Katelyn Haff, 2B (Waterford): Senior led her team with a .477 average last season, when she collected six triples, four home runs and 33 RBIs.
•Jess Harkness, P (Foran): Posted a 23-2 record with 270 strikeouts in 186 innings last season.
•Kaitlyn Lajoie, P (Rockville): Had a 22-2 record and a 0.76 ERA to help the Rams win the Class L title as a junior.
•Erika Leonard, SS (Rocky Hill): Hit .494 with 40 hits and 19 RBIs for last year's Class M champion.
•Katie Petroski, INF (Seymour): Had a .505 average with 55 RBIs and 45 runs scored last season as a sophomore.
•Jenn Vazquez, C (St. Joseph): Has committed to play at Manhattan College. Hit .468 with eight home runs and 30 RBIs last season.
•Kayla Votto, 2B (Coginchaug): Senior led her team in batting average (.500), triples (12) and RBIs (36) last season.
The Greenwich girls' lacrosse program has won the last two Class L championships, and, judging by the early results, this year's team appears capable of extending that streak.
Greenwich is off to a 5-0 start and has outscored its opponents 84-36. Greenwich's latest victory was a 16-8 triumph over Stamford on Friday. The Cardinals were without leading scorer Emily Johnson (hamstring) for that contest, but senior Emma Christie stepped up and scored a career-high five goals against Stamford.
The Greenwich program has won nine games in a row, dating back to last season.

We read the article "Unexplained Pulmonary Hypertension in Elderly Patients" by Shapiro et al in a recent issue of CHEST (January 2007)1 with a lot of interest. The study was well conducted; however, we have the following comments and would appreciate authors' input on the following points:
1. It was pointed out that many elderly patients with unexplained pulmonary hypertension have pulmonary hypertension secondary to "diastolic dysfunction." The term diastolic dysfunction was used on many occasions in the article. We want to bring to your attention that, based on the available evidence, the terminology is rapidly changing from diastolic heart failure to heart failure with normal ejection fraction.2It has clearly been shown in multiple clinical studies3 that left ventricular systolic function in the long axis is impaired in patients with so-called diastolic heart failure.
2. It was also suggested in the article (in the last paragraph on page 99) that only systolic heart failure responds to treatment with diuretics, while there is evidence that even heart failure with a normal ejection fraction is responsive to diuretic therapy.4
3. While explaining the concept of ventricular interdependence, Shapiro et al1 quoted a study by Little et al5 on the effect of right ventricular pressure on end-diastolic left ventricular pressure-volume in dogs without a pericardium, while all the patients described in their study had intact pericardia.
4. Historically, Bernheim is given the credit for hypothesizing the concept of ventricular interdependence.6In this particular context, an explanation based on a description of the "Bernheim effect" (ie, right ventricular failure associated with pulmonary hypertension secondary to left ventricular systolic/diastolic failure with a shift of the interventricular septum rightward) and the "reverse Bernheim effect" (ie, left ventricular systolic/diastolic dysfunction associated with a shift of the interventricular septum to the leftward secondary to right ventricular volume and pressure overload) would have enhanced the discussion.8
The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose.
We are grateful for the careful review by Dr. Dandapantula et al. We offer the following comments:
1. We agree there is controversy regarding terminology in regards to diastolic heart failure vs heart failure with normal ejection fraction.1–3 We also agree that abnormalities in Doppler indexes of longitudinal systolic deformation in patients with heart failure and normal ejection fraction are interesting and that their significance remains to be defined,4as other studies5–6 have described an increase or at least no decrease in left ventricular end-systolic elastance (a load-independent method to characterize contractile performance) in patients with heart failure and normal ejection fraction.
2. We did not mean to imply that diuretics are not of use in diastolic heart failure. We apologize for any confusion generated.
3. While ventricular interdependence may be more potent with the pericardium intact, effects persist when it has been removed.7 In younger subjects with chronic idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension, right ventricular pressure overload induces marked geometric changes and abnormal left ventricular relaxation, but rarely leads to elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure as highlighted in our article. Indeed, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure correlated strongly with age (r = 0.3, p < 0.0001) but not with pulmonary pressure. As acknowledged in our article, our data cannot definitively establish whether the observed elevation in left ventricular filling pressures is due to ventricular interdependence or intrinsic diastolic dysfunction. We conclude that further studies are needed to assist in this distinction in the increasing number of elderly patients evaluated for dyspnea and pulmonary hypertension.
4. We choose to use the term ventricular interdependence rather than the Bernheim effect but appreciate the historical clarification.

Unlike Sacramento PD people, Patrick is convinced that the latest victim, whose baby was snatched away, was really murdered by a Red John proxy, not the work of a copy cat. It even becomes clear it was meant as a challenge for him, as the victim turns out to be the ex of Kevin Barlow, hothead member of a circus family the Janes were traditionally close to, embittered over custody. His sinister uncle Sean claims to be a real medium and has a motive. While solving this case, Patrick reveals to Lisbon his short list of seven remaining Red John suspects, which is confirmed when the serial fiend calls to promise many more bloody hits.

S T Y L E Proving that imPeccable taste crosses disciPlines, these fashionable designers are setting trends left and right. By Laura Eckstein, Roopika Malhotra and Maile Pingel Portraits by Melissa Valladares & T H E C I T Y home, sweet home A well-edited gallery wall—complete with framed black-and-white prints and taxidermy—is a standout in Stanley's living room.
Style & The City
Laura Eckstein, Roopika Malhotra And Maile Pingel
Estee Stanley
"I'm very self-taught," jokes Estee Stanley, the stylist responsible for dressing some of Hollywood's ace players and their larger-thanlife homes. "But I enjoy learning so much every day." In fact, it's the SoCal native's lack of formal training and natural bohemian aesthetic that have garnered her a high-profile clientele including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake, and Lea Michele."When I was first starting out as a fashion stylist, I'd invite people to my house to try on clothes," she explains. "Before long, everyone was asking me to help them decorate their homes as well." Now Stanley is leaving her mark for the rest of us to relish. She recently redesigned the pool at the iconic Beverly Hilton with crisp white towels, patterned blue-and-white pillows and dozens of lemon trees. "I want guests to feel as though they're lounging in someone's backyard, not a hotel," she says."It should be a place you want to hang around all day long."And she is currently decorating chef Ludo Lefebvre's Trois Mec offshoot, Petite Trois, located adjacent to the wildly successful original. "They're definitely more uniform than I'm used to, with all the same chairs and tables," she says. "But in the bathrooms, I'm liking something more wild and colorful, like wainscoting mixed with patterned wallpaper, and bright tiles everywhere." Of course, couture clothing will continue to inspire Stanley's eye."A home or restaurant is obviously a bigger canvas to work with," she says. "But when I see beautiful tassels or embroidered details on a runway, they might just end up on a pillow on your couch."Here, the woman of many talents shares what she's coveting right now.

Jeffrey Alan Marks
"I believe in timeless interiors and timeless clothing," says Santa Monica-based interior designer Jeffrey Alan Marks, adding, as one might expect of an internationally renowned tastemaker, "I don't believe in trends." They're not something he follows, but rather something he creates—a design approach that's won him the accolades of countless publications, a spot on Bravo's hit show Million Dollar Decorators, and a celebrity clientele including Amber Valletta and Gillian Anderson. With furniture lines at Palecek and A. Rudin, he's also at work on a new collection of textiles for Kravet, which you can expect to exude the designer's signature ease.For Marks, design is all about livability and a fresh spirit— nothing too precious, but it's got to look good. "I take my work from the English country house and make it clean," he explains. His designs are grand in their presentation (you know you're someplace special), but outfitted in the most comfortable way. Marks is recognized for his use of natural woods and fabrics, a neutral palette, tailored edging and stripes and, if there's a hallmark to be spotted in his work, touches of blue, his favorite color. If a home-design trend strikes your fancy, Marks suggests using it in a small amount, "so you can change it easily, much like fashion—a hat, a shoe, scarves, etc." That's sage advice from the man behind Brentwood's Tavern Restaurant and The Hungry Cat in Santa Monica, now two icons of L.A.'s stylish dining scene. Trust a man who knows how to make a lasting impression. Jam-design.com

Azadeh Shladovsky
When speaking to Azadeh Shladovsky, a few choice words permeate the conversation: truth, integrity, perspective and, perhaps most telling of all, no boundaries."My name in Farsi means free will," she reveals, an unsurprising moniker for the Los Angeles- and Madridbred designer. Best known for her sculptural furniture collection and modern-yet-classic interiors she devotes equal attention to all projects; everything from a small yogurt shop in the Palisades to the home of an industry heavyweight gets her full focus. But what defines Shladovsky's work—besides the natural, stream-of-consciousness way it evolves—is how it confronts definition and blurs the categorical lines between fashion, art and design. "In fashion, I love pushing the boundaries in structure and form in the same way I do with my work," she says. Similar to the designers, architects and artists she admires (like Viktor & Rolf, Bless, Le Corbusier and Donald Judd), Shladovsky pays enormous respect to materials, both in her work and personal style. "Not overdesigning and being disciplined enough to let the materials speak for themselves is, in itself, an art form," she says. That theme holds true in all of Shladovsky's endeavors, including several current projects she hints at: a line of personal accessories upcycled from the sheepskin she uses for furniture, a lighting collaboration with D.C.- based ceramic artist Ani Kasten and a boutique hotel. As far as the details, admirers will have to wait."The second you allow another voice in your head, it's no longer yours," muses Shladovsky. "The smallest reaction would affect me, so until a piece is tangible, I reveal almost nothing." What a fitting statement for a truly enigmatic force. Azadehshladovsky.com

Turn Back the Clock Before Summer with the Mini Facelift
posted on
Do you want to get rid of wrinkles and lines before summer season? You may be a good candidate for the mini facelift, a skin rejuvenation and anti-aging procedure that can reverse many of the signs of aging and help you maintain a youthful look. This facelift alternative is designed for people in their late 30s and early 40s, and is especially effective for tightening the skin, eliminating wrinkles and getting rid of excess fat around the neck and chin.
Since the procedure involves such as short recovery time, it can be a great match for anyone looking for a skin rejuvenation procedure before the summer. The mini facelift could be just what you need to turn back the clock and feel more confident this season!
Set up a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon in your area to find out if you may be a good candidate for the mini facelift. Your surgeon can discuss the benefits and drawbacks of this procedure, and recommend a treatment plan that will help you get results before summer.
Rejuvenate Your Look Before Summer with the Mini Facelift
One of the biggest benefits of undergoing the mini facelift is that you can get rid of wrinkles and excess fat round the face, fast. Unlike the traditional facelift that involves extensive surgery and a long downtime, the effects of the mini facelift can be seen within a week after the procedure and you don't need set aside weeks to recover from it.
The mini facelift is performed using an endoscopic technique so the surgeon does not need to make a lot of incisions. Whether you want to tighten up sagging skin or just maintain a sculpted look, the mini facelift can deliver fast results just in time for summer season.
Learn more about the benefits of the mini facelift and reasons why this procedure may be a good match for you this summer in Six Reasons to Undergo a Mini Facelift.
Booking a Mini Facelift Before Summer
Even though you don't need to set aside a lot of time for recovery after a mini facelift, it can help to book your procedure at least a month or two before a major event, such as a wedding, high school reunion or other special occasion this summer. Your skin will need some time to heal and you will see progressive results as the skin goes through its natural cell renewal cycle.
If you are attending special events in June, July or August this year, book your procedure in April or May. This will give you plenty of time to recover from the treatment and will also give you some time to decide whether you need to enhance results with dermal fillers, Thermage skin tightening or other skin rejuvenation treatments.
Learn more about facelift surgery and related treatments in our information guide, or consult with an anti aging specialist in your area for more information.

The legendary fund manager Anthony Bolton lost £1m of his own fortune last year by backing his struggling Fidelity China Special Situations trust, according to the broker Collins Stewart.
The £570m trust – which was launched in November 2009 – had a torrid 2011 during which its share price fell 36 per cent. With 2.5 million shares, Mr Bolton's holding slumped in value from £2.95m in December 2010 to just £1.85m 12 months later.
His decision to come out of retirement to run the fund has tarnished a reputation built up over 28 years during which he averaged consistent average annual returns of about 20 per cent while managing the Fidelity UK Special Situations fund.
But he is not alone in backing his own investment performance with big stakes. Collins Stewart note that some 37 investment trust managers have gambled £500,000 or more in their own trust. Other high-profile managers to do so include Alex Darwall at Jupiter and Jeremy Tigue at Foreign & Colonial.

wikiHow to Make a Paper Puppet
Three Methods:Paper Bag PuppetJointed Paper PuppetStick PuppetsCommunity Q&A
Paper puppets are ideal for classroom and home projects, because they are made with everyday craft supplies and reused materials. Try making a paper bag puppet, a stick puppet and a jointed puppet with your child.
Paper Bag Puppet
1Save a brown or white paper lunch bag. Use a white paper bag for a bunny, polar bear or panda puppet.
2Flatten it, so that the bottom of the bag is folded over. This will be your puppet's head.
3Choose your animal. Each animal will be designed slightly differently. For example, mice, ducks and some other animals have point faces, rather than square heads.
4Gather some craft glue, markers, colored paper and other craft supplies. Bobble eyes, pipe cleaners and glitter can be used to improve a paper bag puppet.
5Fold the corners at the front of your puppet's head. You will want to fold the edges into a triangle for a mouse or just an inch at the corner for a pig snout or dog nose.
6Cut some ears that match your animal. Get ideas or templates at www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/puppets/paperbag/. For example, bunny ears should be long and pointy, while cat ears can be short, pointed with a contrasting color on the inside.
7Draw and cut out a nose to match your animal. You can also draw the nose on the front of the puppet's head.
8Attach pipe cleaners extending from the nose with craft glue. Skip this step if your animal doesn't have whiskers.
9Draw on two eyes on either side of the nose or glue on bobble eyes. You can also use two plastic bottle caps with tissue paper balls glued onto the inside of the cap. Glue them with the inside of the cap facing out on either side of the paper head.[1]
10Wait a few minutes for all the glue to dry. Decorate it with additional features, feathers or felt. Place your arm inside the bag and grasp the head between your fingers and thumb to make it talk.
Jointed Paper Puppet
1Gather your supplies. You will need a cardboard stick, cardstock and metal brads, as well as decoration supplies.
2Draw the shape of an animal or person on a large piece of cardstock.
3Color the animal with crayons, markers or other craft supplies.
4Glue bobble eyes onto the face.
5Cut out along the outside edge of the puppet animal.
6Cut at the point where the arms and legs meet the body of the puppet. Reattach the arms and legs at the joint with a metal brad fastener. The limbs can be moved to make the puppet appear to be walking, waving or doing other actions.
7Lay the puppet face down. Cut a long, thin piece of cardboard approximately twice the length of the puppet.
8Glue the cardboard stick along the back of the jointed puppet. It should be glued from the bottom to the top of the head to make the puppet very sturdy.[2]
9Wait at least 20 minutes for the puppet to dry. Then, it is ready for playtime.
Stick Puppets
1Draw an animal, human or object shape onto a large piece of cardstock. You can also go online and find your favorite shapes with an Internet image search. Print them onto cardstock.
2Color the shapes in with markers, colored pencils or crayons.
3Cut the shape out with paper scissors.
4Laminate the shape if you want it to be durable. You can press the shape onto clear contact paper on both sides to laminate it quickly. Cut the shape out of the contact paper approximately one-fourth (1.6cm) from the edge.
5Tape a bamboo skewer to the back of the paper shape. Snap off the pointy end if small children will be handling the puppet.
6Create several shapes that can interact together. Set up a stage and put on a stick puppet show.[3]

Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in outpatients with systolic heart failure improves cardiac function. We evaluated the impact of immediate inpatient diagnosis and treatment of OSA in hospitalized patients with acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) on in-hospital cardiac outcomes.
A pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted in an academic heart hospital. Patients with ADHF underwent an attended in-hospital sleep study within 2 days of hospital admission to establish the diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing. The participants were 46 consecutive patients with ADHF who had OSA (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI], ≥ 15 events per hour). Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention arm (n = 23), with in-hospital treatment of OSA using auto-adjusting positive airway pressure along with standard treatment of ADHF, or to the control arm (n = 23), in which they received only standard treatment for ADHF. The primary outcome was the change in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 3 nights postrandomization.
The change in LVEF from baseline to 3 days postrandomization in the intervention arm was significantly superior to that of the control group. The difference in LVEF improvement was 4.6% (p = 0.03). LVEF increased in the intervention group by 4.5% (SE, 1.7%). The LVEF change in the control arm was − 0.3% (SE, 1.5%). The difference in LVEF improvement between the two groups persisted after adjustment for baseline LVEF, type of cardiomyopathy, BMI, AHI, and sex.
An approach of early identification and in-hospital treatment of OSA in patients with ADHF is feasible and resulted in improvement in systolic function. The impact of this approach on out-of-hospital outcomes requires further investigation.
