Warren Buffett charity lunch already fetching $1 million at auction
By Jonathan Stempel
(Reuters) - An online auction for the right to dine with billionaire investor Warren Buffett and raise money for a San Francisco charity has started strongly, with the top bid surpassing $1 million in less than a day.
Buffett has raised $17.8 million in 15 prior annual auctions for Glide, a charity in San Francisco's Tenderloin district that provides food, health care, rehabilitation and other services for the poor and homeless.
As of 2:30 p.m. EDT Monday, the top bid was $1,000,100 in the eBay auction, which ends at 10:30 p.m. EDT Friday.
That bid matches the seventh-highest amount ever paid, which occurred in 2013, and may go higher because bids often soar in the last hour. The auction began Sunday night, with a $25,000 minimum bid.
"We're very happy, very happy," the Rev. Cecil Williams, the co-founder of Glide, said in a phone interview. "We expect the bidding to take off, but $1 million coming this early is somewhat surprising."
This year's winner can bring up to seven friends to dine with Buffett at the Smith & Wollensky steakhouse in Manhattan.
Some past winners chose to dine at a steakhouse in Omaha, Nebraska, where Buffett runs Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Last year's winner, Andy Chua of Singapore, bid $2,166,766. The record bid, in 2012, was $3,456,789, submitted anonymously. Continued...

Despite owning a MkVI I am not well up on Webleys actually. Mine was a sorta rebuild from matching parts and I cold re-blued it - so it is not perfect but OK and shootable. I load Fiocchi brass and use unsized 230 grain lead RN's - same as I'd use sized for .45acp.
Not at all sure re getting it back to .455 .... and I forget what was done other than reaming perhaps to accomodate the 45LC round.
IMO and others too IIRC, the guns are best left for .455 as they are not mega tough and certainly do not like real hot loads.
I am wondering some web searching would be productive as I am sure some expert info is out there. I'll check a book or three later when time and post back if any interesting info is found.

Brian Kelly Press Conference Quotes 09/02/08
Sept. 2, 2008
Senior Defensive End Connor Barwin
On playing against Oklahoma
"All of us are really excited about the opportunity. We know that their the number four team in the country, so we know we're playing the best. From my standpoint, I was watching the film yesterday and we were getting a view from the stadium and it got me excited to see the amount of people that they pack into their stadium."
On being overwhelmed playing at Oklahoma
"No, I don't think anybody is overwhelmed. It's an exciting atmosphere to play in."
On Oklahoma's quarterback Sam Bradford
"We've watched a lot of film on him. He's a Heisman candidate, a guy who likes to throw the ball around a lot. Their offensive line and tight ends really try to protect him. He's their guy and don't want him to get hit but we're going to try to get after him the best we can."
On Oklahoma's protection
"He doesn't have to move, they run a lot of play action for (Bradford). Like I said, they keep their tight ends in to block for him. They run bootlegs and nakeds, he doesn't like to run. They defiantly try to protect him the best they can."
On coming into the game a 21-point underdog
"It's motivation. When we go out there and game time comes around, we can prove everyone wrong. "
On Oklahoma's defense
"We were watching the film; their defensive line is really big. They have a lot of potential NFL players. They're big up front and their secondary is very good. We have to execute our plays and limit our errors."
On the speed of their secondary
"On film I can see the routes (Oklahoma's) opponents have run and how well their secondary jumps those routes, it tells us a lot about their speed."
On UC's performance against Eastern Kentucky
"Watching the film, we have to eliminate the penalties that happened in the game. Many were simple mistakes that we made."
On Oklahoma's inability to stop the spread offense
"Watching the Fiesta Bowl game against West Virginia last year, (West Virginia) showed a lot of their weaknesses and hopefully we can go out there and do the same thing that they did."
Head Coach Brian Kelly
Opening Statement
"The most important thing for us is we took this game on as an opportunity to measure ourselves against the very best. When we came here our first goal was to get our football team to change their mindset in how they compete and what they compete for. Now that we've broken the top twenty last year, we have to measure ourselves against the very best in the country, that next progression. We know we can compete for a championship, we know we can win a championship in the BIG EAST, now we want to know where we stand on a national level stage and there wasn't a better opportunity out there than to go to Norman, Oklahoma and measure ourselves against arguably one of the best programs perennial in the country. Having said that we have a great deal of respect for Oklahoma and what they've accomplished but we thing we have a pretty good football team too. We're excited about this opportunity that we've been given and we're going to make the best out of it. We know it's important to go there and not only show up and get off the plane but to play well. It's important to play well and win. Last year South Florida went to Auburn and beat Auburn. The BIG EAST needs an opportunity like this and we saw it as a great opportunity for our football team. As you know we have the BIG EAST player of the week in Dustin Grutza that will be leading our offense and we're excited about that. Also, Connor Barwin was voted for his play defensively, two sacks. He's getting closer to that proclamation of ten sacks he wanted this year."
On beating Oklahoma if they play up to their potential
"We don't look at it that way, and we never have. We feel like it's about how we play. We can't control how well Oklahoma does. So why go into the week and even think about, well I hope they don't play well. We can't control that, what we can control as a football team is to be prepared and to be prepared in a lot of different instances. For example it's in front of 87,000; it's going to be 90 degrees hot. Those are factors we can control relative to practicing out in the heat. Relative to crowd noise and cranking it up in the stadium, we can control those things and then controlling how we play and how we execute through our preparation. Quite frankly, it's about how we prepare for Oklahoma. "
On playing as a underdog against Oklahoma
On Oklahoma being able to defeat Missouri and their spread offense
"Missouri does different things than we do offensively. They put a lot of points on the board; I think if you ask Missouri they would probably say they played well offensively, we just didn't hold them down very well. Both of those games were shootouts. Again, the way we look at it our systems are a little different in terms of how we operate, but Missouri was pretty successful in scoring points. They didn't get shut out in those games and they scored over 28 points in both instances. We take a little bit from every game that we watched Missouri, Texas, and Oklahoma State. We try to look at those teams that know Oklahoma well and there's never a better team to look at than the in state rival. We try to do what's in our system first and then we'll go from there. "
On how Oklahoma compares to other team's UC has played
"They're like a BIG EAST All-Star team. Take the best players from the BIG EAST on both sides of the ball and put them together. They've got great players at every position, they have no weaknesses. But, we don't have to play them ten times; we just have to play them once."
On Oklahoma's offense
"They don't ask him to (scramble) in the structure of their offense. They've got a guy by the name of DeMarco Murray who's an outstanding running back. They're so balanced offensively; they want to run the football and try to establish their ability to impose their will on you. Bradford is put in great opportunities to play action pass, he's really efficient with the football. They don't put him in a situation like I put Dustin Grutza in. He's not in that kind of situation, he's surrounded very well. He's perfect for their system; he fits their system of offense. "
On Oklahoma's defense
"I think there safeties are returning starters they're each very athletic on the back end of their defense. Their front four are a dominating group from the inside and outside, it's a dominating unit. They lost a couple of linebackers but, they don't miss a beat. I think the biggest thing for us is protecting our quarterback, we've got to be able to protect our quarterback and that means we're going to have to move the launch point for our quarterback, we can't just sit in the pocket against this defense."

Just a reminder that this forum will close following your birthing month. It will be archived and available for reading.
If you wish to start a social group for this DDC, please post to this thread: http://www.mothering.com/community/t/1327212/social-groups-are-here/0_100
This will allow you to keep the same group for discussions as your babies grow. :)
Adina mama to B 4/06 and E 8/13/12 (on her due date!)
I don't see anyone else from our DDC posting on that thread...
It would be a shame to lose our DDC before some of our babes are even born. I tend to go a couple of weeks past my EDDs and I know there are some others here who won't have babes in arms before the end of December. If anyone else here wants our DDC to continue as an MDC group, come forward!
As I said above, I won't close until after your birth month. With the old system, I waited until about 3 months past the birth month. With social groups, I will probably give a month. :) You can start the social group whenever you want. Mostly I wanted to remind folks about the feature, because social groups won't get closed, whereas this forum will.
Adina mama to B 4/06 and E 8/13/12 (on her due date!)
Thanks for making that more clear. :)
Ok, so since the shift seems to be to moving to the social groups.. maybe we should get going on that?
I have to say- while I think that the more public format is great in many ways, it would be nice to have a 'safe' place to communicate as well- and to keep in touch going forward.
I've had a request pending for the social group for a couple of days now. :(
Jenrose, Mama to DD1, born 1993, DD2, born 2005, and DS1, Jan. 2012. Babywearing, cosleeping, homebirthing mom with fibromyalgia and hashimotos. DD2 has a rare chromosome disorder.
I never received the request in my inbox. :( I'll try sending you an invite, jenrose.
If possible, can I get an invite, too? Not sure if you received my request. Thank you!
2/02, 4/05, 2/07, 11/09, and EDD 12/25/11

Water renewal along the aquatic continuum offsets cumulative retention by lakes: implications for the character of organic carbon in boreal lakes

The character of organic carbon (OC) in lake waters is strongly dependent on the time water has spent in the landscape as well as in the lake itself due to continuous biogeochemical OC transformation processes. A common view is that upstream lakes might prolong the water retention in the landscape, resulting in an altered OC character downstream. We calculated the number of lakes upstream for 24,742 Swedish lakes in seven river basins spanning from 56º to 68º N. For each of these lakes, we used a lake volume to discharge comparison on a landscape scale to account for upstream water retention by lakes (Tn tot). We found a surprisingly weak relationship between the number of lakes upstream and Tn tot. Accordingly, we found that the coloured fraction of organic carbon was not related to lake landscape position but significantly related to Tn tot when we analysed lake water chemical data from 1,559 lakes in the studied river basins. Thus, we conclude that water renewal along the aquatic continuum by lateral water inputs offsets cumulative retention by lakes. Based on our findings, we suggest integrating Tn tot in studies that address lake landscape position in the boreal zone to better understand variations in the character of organic carbon across lake districts.

Witness on Fire Concert with David Kauffman
St. Isidore Catholic Church
Thursday, May 16, 2013 from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM (PDT)
Please join us for the Witness on Fire Concert on Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. The concert will feature David Kauffman who will take you on a musical journey where you will feel the power of the Holy Spirit through inspirational, prayerful, Christian music. The concert will also be featuring St. Isidore's children's, teen and adult choirs. You won't want to miss this one-of-a-kind event.
Following the concert, there will be a reception across the street in the ministry building with light refreshments. All are welcome to come. This will also be an opportunity for the Prayer Challenge participants to meet each other in person.
About David
Growing up a devout Catholic in St. Louis, David was always drawn to liturgical music. Having spent more than two decades on what he calls a "faith journey," he has grown from a personal pursuit to a full-blown mission, to create music that touches hearts, feeds souls and influences lives.
After graduating with a bachelor's degree in finance from St. Mary's University in 1982, David launched a business career in banking and real estate. In 1987, he followed his heart and plunged headfirst into a Christian music career. Along the way, he garnered thousands of fans from all walks of life and performed for Pope John Paul II at the 1997 World Youth Day in Paris, with over one million in attendance.
He later started Good For The Soul Music, a San Antonio based musical content creator and publisher, with the purpose of ministering to others. He continued to seek, define and follow a new direction that more fully realized his calling.
Through hard work and determination, the business has become highly successful, producing multiple CDs by Kauffman, Gokelman and other Christian artists, music books, choral octavos, sheet music and a full-blown musical, "Moses and The Burning Within," which has been staged throughout the U.S. and Canada. David Kauffman along with writing partner, William Gokelman, has also composed an award winning Mass Setting: MASS OF RENEWAL. This Mass Setting was a first place winner of a new Mass setting competition sponsored by the National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM), at the national convention in Detroit, MI in July 2010. This Mass Setting has been adopted by 2000+ churches and diocese across the US. David is currently working to obtain financing for The Song, a feature film about Ben Cantor, a man who bets his life on a songwriting contest reality show against the better judgment of his wife, boss and banker.

Wilson, a former second-round pick of the Cardinals in 2005, abruptly retired last summer after a series of injuries, leaving the Quad Cities club in July. The 22-year-old's first official 2009 appearance will be on Friday as the Bandits' scheduled piggyback starter following Jonny Bravo.
Buck, 23, was the Cardinals' 27th-round pick in the 2007 draft. The right-handed hitter struggled mightily with the bat with Quad Cities, going just 5-for-50 (.100), all singles.
The 18-year-old Parejo (pictured) was a sparkplug on the 2008 New York-Penn League Batavia Muckdogs, for whom he posted a .278/.328/.330 line last summer. The native of Venezuela turns 19 on July 5.
Brown, 22, appeared in eight games including three starts for the River Bandits this season, posting an ERA of 6.16. The left-hander struck out 14 but walked ten in 19 innings.

The Dream is About to Become Reality! One Week to Go :-) - Draper, UT
I'm 39 (almost 40) 5'2", and currently 160 lbs. Ever since I had my daughter 10 years ago, I have struggled with maintaining a healthy weight. A little over a year ago, I dedicated myself to eating better and becoming more active. It has taken me a while, but I have lost nearly 50lbs. When I hit the 30 lb loss, I became very aware of how flabby my belly skin was. I had gained a lot of... READ MORE

Dress: c/o Warehouse | Coat: old Gap (very similar)
Bracelets: c/o Lydell NYC, c/o C.Wonder and c/o Jeweliq | Heels: J.Crew
There really is nothing better than finding a great dress. One that fits you right off the rack and makes you feel extra girly and fun. That's how I felt about this beauty from Warehouse. I love the fitted waist and flared skirt, and the gold metallic color is so fun but still can be considered conservative. It's a great addition to my LBD collection. To add a pop of color, I decided to pair it with my all time favorite red coat from Gap. Now I just need to find a party to go to so I can wear this little number!

I had to stay for a week in Birmingham for a course a while back and trained with them in the evenings. Everyone was really friendly, the gym is great and the teaching is brill.
For BJJ Braulio is the genuine article for sure. Victor is shit hot too.
Cheers guys, going there this afternoon.Quote:

by the way Marc, what is you BJJ grade??
hi mate, i never trained in the gi long enough to get "graded" i was always no gi, braulio gave me a blue years ago but that was about it. i used to wear it now and again but it done my head in !!! that and the poncy types involved and bullshit politics that surrounded bjj also, couldnt bear that !
i have always competed no gi [ and even then it was with one eye always on the wrestling element, ie top position ] and obviously mma so not sure what "grade" i would be if relevant at all, i am sure that if i had chose to stick with it i may have a stripe ot two on my blue belt , lol. i have been very successful in the UK no gi come to think of it when i list what i have done / won.
i remember a few years ago i done a gi comp, my first bjj tourny, i thought fuck it, i was in opponents guard and stood up to pass, he pulled me straight back down by the sleeve and collar and got the armbar on me :mad:
i very much understand and appreciate the complexities and differences of the gi but as far as mma goes it has little significance imho and i have been on both sides of the fence, but each to there own. look at todays mma, how many of the top guys are pure bjj or at the least its there base art ? it makes me laugh actually, so many people go "right i am gonna start mma", and they head for the nearest bjj class. to me its 3rd on the list behind wrestling and boxing, of course understanding the submission game is a very important part of mma, i am still very much known for a submission / wrestling game as opposed to standing...[ except for my last fight, lol ] i may go back to training in it one day when i am old and decrepid, for now its submission wrestling, [ with the emphasis on wrestling ! ] all the way.
but its horses for courses, i will get off my soap box now :) . back on topic and for just pure bjj and no gi jiu jitsu [ without the wrestling ] then braulio is genuine world class, multiple times pan am and world champ, adcc runner up etc, we are very fortunate to have someone of his calibre on tap really.....[ just beware of gringo jiu jitsu ;) ]
I go on Sherdog too, and the amount of praise they lord of his guard dvd is amazing - they love him over there too!
anyone over here got his dvd ?
Trained there thursday,friday and tomorrow too , the quality there is unreal. I understand and agree with your view on BJJ for MMA and to be fair im only training BJJ because i eventualy would like to compete in the sport itself.
Kevin Webb (purple belt) tapped me about 10 times in 3mins today ..... it was awesome.
I also managed to tap a Blue Belt (cant remember his name soz) with a sweet triangle :D
Training at a place with that much talent lets you know how good you really are!! its quite a wake up call

CLEVELAND: There is a little-known rule in the NBA that prevents teams from targeting a terrible free throw shooter in a game's final minutes. Tristan Thompson insists he knew about the rule prior to the final 20 seconds of Wednesday's 111-104 loss to the Detroit Pistons, but watching television replays makes that debatable.
Regardless, Thompson will always be cognizant of it now.
In a season filled with staggering collapses and crushing defeats, the Cavaliers discovered the "away from play" rule as yet another creative, unconventional way to lose a basketball game.
The Cavs spent the game's final five minutes targeting Pistons rookie Andre Drummond, who began the night shooting 34-percent from the free-throw line. But the "away from play" rule prevents teams from intentionally fouling a player away from the ball in the game's last two minutes simply to put him on the line.
After Kyrie Irving missed a 3-pointer with the Cavs down 105-103 and 20 seconds left, Drummond grabbed the rebound and Thompson immediately lunged for him. But Drummond wisely gave up possession almost immediately. No foul was initially called, but Thompson continued to grab Drummond and slap him on the back – even looking at referee Nick Buchert as if pleading for a foul call – while Brandon Knight advanced the ball on the other side of the court.
Pistons coach Lawrence Frank – fully aware of the rule – raced onto the court pointing at Thompson and shouting at Buchert for the foul call while Thompson continued to grab Drummond and slap him on the back.
Left with no choice, Buchert called Thompson for the "away from play" foul, which awarded two free throws to the Pistons (which Rodney Stuckey shot) and possession of the ball. It effectively ended any chance at victory and gave the Pistons a sweep of the four-game series this season.
"I tried to foul him right away, but they called it after he passed it," Thompson said. "I guess it's my fault."
Thompson said he knew about the rule and said he didn't grab Drummond again after he gave up possession, although replays clearly show that he did.
"Young, second-year player mistake," Scott said.
Thompson was simply carrying out orders Scott had given earlier in the quarter, when the Cavs sent Drummond to the line seven times in 3 ½ minutes late in the game. But all of those fouls came prior to the game's last two minutes, when the "away from play" rule takes effect. Scott said he didn't go over the rule with the players.
"I don't think you sit down in the locker room and say, 'This is the rule.' You always say, 'Guy gets the ball, foul him,'" Scott said. "(Drummond) got the rebound and passed it. (Thompson) was thinking right, it was just way too late."
Drummond made his first nine shots and scored a career-high 29 points to go with 11 rebounds. He even made 9 of 17 free throws, including 8 of 14 during the 3 ½ minutes when the Cavs fouled him on nearly all of the Pistons' possessions. The plan worked long enough to give the Cavs a brief 98-97 lead with three minutes left – so Scott took the play off just long enough for Will Bynum to make a 3-pointer and put the Pistons back on top.
Irving had 27 points and nine assists, including 11 points in the fourth quarter, but he turned the ball over five times and has 13 in his last two games. He struggled shooting the ball again most of the night and committed two costly turnovers in the fourth quarter.
Dion Waiters returned from his knee injury and scored 11 points in 15 minutes off the bench. He was under strict orders to play between 15 and 20 minutes, although Scott believes that minute total will be allowed to increase over the final four games. He hasn't decided yet whether or not he will return Waiters to the starting lineup.
Thompson has been a terrific leader both on and off the court for the Cavs in recent weeks, but his mental error compounded his problems on a difficult night when he struggled to defend the Pistons' Greg Monroe.
The Pistons pounded the Cavs for 60 points in the paint, and Monroe and Drummond accounted for 52 of them.

What's Next For Tim Tebow?
There are 311 comments on the Silicon Alley Insider story from Apr 29, 2013, titled What's Next For Tim Tebow?. In it, Silicon Alley Insider reports that:
Now that the Tim Tebow train wreck with the New York Jets is finally over, the Heisman Trophy winner may actually have several options.

Tebow sucks, end of discussion.
#276 Mar 13, 2014
Where's Teblow's big comeback you were pimping a few months back?
#277 Mar 13, 2014
And being an ESPN college football analyst doesn't count for the awesome Tebow comeback as well as being asked to co-host ABC News' Good Morning America.
"First and 15", raising funds for Uncle Dick's Orphanage? At least he supports Dicks.
#278 Mar 13, 2014
I'd keep the young'uns away from his uncle's dick.
The sun will come up, tomorrow, but beware the one eyed turtle.
#279 Mar 13, 2014
Sorry to hear you were abused as a child. Only way you could have turned out as you have. Get help or you will never progress in life. Condolences. Further responses like your past ones will only degrade any chances of becoming healthy.
#280 Mar 13, 2014
Did the psychotherapy help your MPD any?
#281 Mar 14, 2014
Glad to hear that team of Docs is helping your MPD. Soon it will be one down, 12 to go. You will be healthy before you know it. Long before the middle class figures out that Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Hillary and the Bushes have been stealing them blind. Don't give up hope. We're rooting 4U.

Tebow had his chance and came up short. Can we just leave it at that without the Tebowmaniacs and the anti-Tebow crowd acting like packs of drama queens?
#284 Mar 16, 2014
Bingo we have another winner.
#285 Mar 16, 2014
Nothing. Maybe commentary. If he'd pull his head outta his ass, he'd make a helluva fullback or short yardage RB. Or a decent RB. But, he's too damn stubborn. He's not an NFL quality QB.
#286 Mar 17, 2014
Tebow heard about this religious thing called pornography
Where women are always calling out to God
He feels that is his new calling
#287 Mar 17, 2014
Tebow sucks, end of discussion.
#288 Mar 17, 2014
Changing the subject away from the Broncos debacle and Peyton's meltdown doesn't mean it didn't happen. And your result is that you do damage to yourself with your responses. Saw a response earlier about what happens to people who pick on Tebow and those like him. Something about a millstone being hung around their necks and tossed into the sea being better than what will really happen to you. Like the man said, your call but I'd recommend you rethink your position, and verbage.
#289 Mar 18, 2014
I too like to bathe in religious zealotry to hide my own inner demons and insecurities. Spouting religion on an NFL forum makes tons of sense.
#290 Mar 18, 2014
Speaking of the sea, it will be great when CA falls into the ocean.
#292 Mar 18, 2014
Peyton's "melt down" in the Super Bowl, Brady's lame excuses for not making because his teammates suck. Shit is comical.

#293 Mar 22, 2014
Tebow couldn't be any worse than the joker the Giants have as a backup QB, Curtis Painter.
#294 Mar 22, 2014
Your curiosity sure doesn't last long. Did you see fifty first dates? You seem a lot like 10 second Tom. Can't remember what you said just 10 seconds earlier. Or maybe you watch too much "Hell has no fury..." or vampire shows. Sad so many are out of work and their only actions are to pick on Tebow, a guy who has done more good apart from football than you probably will ever do. He may be an ineffective QB but as a person he sure seems the real deal. Pretty sure you can't play QB either and your words suggest strongly that you are nowhere near being the real deal, at least not positively speaking. Think about it. Time to turn over a new leaf as they say.
#295 Mar 22, 2014
Maybe then our desert property will be beachfront and worth 10 times what it is now.
#296 May 15, 2014
Jesus asked Tebow why he can read the bible but he can't read defenses.

Food Stamp Battle Gets Spotlight Today
Congress could vote today to make major cuts to the food stamps program. Supporters say the bill would make sure only those that are eligible get the benefits. But opponents say all the bill would do is hurt those who are already hurting.
Brian Greene is the President and CEO of the Houston Food Bank and told KTRH those in Congress don't know how tough people on food stamps have it.
"It works out to four dollars a day per recipient. I've been doing that as a challenge, trying to live on four dollars a day for food. It's pretty rough," Greene said.
And it's rough for many Texans. Recent numbers show 17.2 percent of Texans live in poverty. Congressman Pete Olson is voting for the cuts and told KTRH it's about making sure only those who need the help get it.
"No individual who meets the income and asset guidelines for the SNAP program will be denied access to benefits," Olson said.
Even though the bill is expected to pass the House easily, it looks like there will be a bigger fight in the Senate.
"Hopefully we could find some middle ground," Olson said. "We need to maintain reforms that protect the taxpayers and the people who truly need help."
So the fight is expected to continue for a long time. Greene told KTRH that even though the program nationally has expanded from 15 billion dollars to 75 billion dollars over the last 12 years it is working.
"It's doing what it's supposed to do. Because of the recession we've had a big increase in unemployment and a very large increase in poverty," he explained.
But the vote in the Senate is expected to go differently than in the House, which means this fight is far from over.

Crossing the cultural divide : a contemporary holistic framework for conceptualising design studio education
Saghafi, Mahmoud R., Franz, Jill M., & Crowther, Philip (2010) Crossing the cultural divide : a contemporary holistic framework for conceptualising design studio education. In Proceedings of 2nd International Conference on Design Education : ConnectED, Sydney.
Accepted Version
(PDF 497kB)
While the studio is widely accepted as the learning environment where architecture students most effectively learn how to design (Mahgoub, 2007:195), there are surprisingly few studies that attempt to identify in a qualitative way the interrelated factors that contribute to and support design studio learning (Bose, 2007:131). Such a situation seems problematic given the changes and challenges facing education including design education. Overall, there is growing support for re-examining (perhaps redefining) the design studio particularly in response to the impact of new technologies but as this paper argues this should not occur independently of the other elements and qualities comprising the design studio. In this respect, this paper describes a framework developed for a doctoral project concerned with capturing and more holistically understanding the complexity and potential of the design studio to operate within an increasingly and largely unpredictable global context. Integral to this is a comparative analysis of selected cases underpinned by grounded theory methodology of the traditional design studio and the virtual design studio informed by emerging pedagogical theory and the experiences of those most intimately involved – students and lecturers. In addition to providing a conceptual model for future research, the framework is of value to educators currently interested in developing as well as evaluating learning environments for design.

Saw this on a Bimmer site. It was pretty cool, and got really creative.
Post up a picture of a Mk2 (preferably yours) that meets the challenge criteria. If you post up the pic, choose a new challenge.
Challenge photo must be taken AFTER the challenge is issued.
One you complete a challenge, you must post a picture with a new, and original challenge, nothing too outlandish, or obscure.
While being creative, the new challenge must be generic. This is an international "event", so it needs to be accessible to everyone. Ex: Picture of car in front of monument. NOT picture of car in front of Washington monument.
Any car may be used for the sake of keeping the game moving. Mk2s are encouraged.
This is meant to be somewhat fast paced, so quality of photos isn't really important. However, they must be discernible.
Also, it doesn't matter if you have a super slammed, shaved, show car, or a daily beater, post up those pics. No one is/should be judging your car in this thread, just having fun with the challenges.
Make it work?
1st Challenge: Mk2 next to a farm animal.[/QUOTE]
PS: I've seen similar things done at large G2Gs. A list of photo ops is given, and everyone must turn in an SD card with all the pictures taken on it by a certain time, sort of like a big scavenger hunt. The person who gets all the photo ops the best, first wins.

I've never worn much BareMinerals (with the exception of their 100% Natural Lip Gloss, which was my go-to nude lippie for ages), but their newest crop of products are pretty hard to resist. A girl can never have too many good concealers on hand, so I was anxious to try their new BareMinerals SPF 20 Correcting Concealer, $20. BareMinerals is known for their powder-based products, so the idea of a full-coverage, cream product from the brand was too intriguing too pass up.
Here's what the product claims:
- COVERAGE:Â medium-to-full
- TEXTURE:Â creamy
- Available in 8 shades
This creamy formula combines SPF protection with superior, lightweight coverage that blends seamlessly to conceal blemishes, dark under-eye circles and other skin imperfections all day long. More than a concealer, it also works to decrease the appearance of dark spots and discolorations for a radiant, even-toned complexion.
- Copper is an ingredient known for its brightening and nourishing properties.
Formulated without parabens, synthetic fragrances and artificial oils.
I tried this concealer in Deep 2, the deepest shade offered. Take a look at some pics:

I really like this concealer! It does, in fact, provide full coverage, but I found it to give the fullest coverage with the least layering when applied over my foundation or bb cream. The peachiness of Deep 2 worked well at disguising dark circles, but despite it's creamy formula, I found it to be less emollient than I would like for my under eye area, which tends to be very dry. This may not be an issue for you, depending on what the skin in your eye area is like, and does help it to stay in place.
BareMinerals SPF 20 Correcting Concealer in Deep 2 – looks less peach here than it is (no flash)
This concealer really excelled at covering my dark spots with just a layer or two dabbed on with my finger or a concealer brush. The peachiness came out when applied to my face, but blended into my skin tone well. I loved the lightweight feel and great coverage, and may pick up Dark 2 as I lose my summer tan. This is a really good concealer, but the limited range of deeper shades will keep a lot of  brown girls from being able to use it. If you're near a BareMinerals store or counter this is definitely worth a stop in to try it out. According to their website, the two lone brown shades are supposed to match all of their Dark and Deep foundation shades, but hopefully the brand will release more shades.
A few more BareMinerals products may have to make their way into my fall beauty arsenal, and their The Happy Place neutral shadow palette and Ready solid Foundation, may be my first acquisitions, lol. BareMinerals has also released their new Stroke of Light Eye Brightener, $22, which looks like it may be comparable to YSL's Touche Eclat, which is a fave of mine, but pricey at $44. I'll definitely have to try it out and report back.
I just may be a BareMinerals convert, lol! Have you tried any BareMinerals products? Will you try any of their new product releases?

Any Jeep Mechanic in Chicago?
I need a good-hearted jeep mechanic that we can work on jeeps together in Chicago. I'll buy the parts as needed plus some cash to buy you a cup of coffee; or just look at the jeep and tell me some know-hows!
I love jeeps! I have had 2 Wranglers, 2 Renegades, and a CJ-5 but am never a mechanic. Now I have a 93 and 97 Wrangler. Since the jeeps age, I can only bring my jeeps to shops they know nothing about jeep and often ended up paying something for nothing; or they would tell you to buy expensive new parts instead of to fix it so they can make $$ from both parts & labor. The area where I need help are:
a. restore rusty frame
b. suspension lift kit installation
c. body mount brushing
d. minor engine work
Also, I have a pair of white half doors for sale off my 1993 YJ Renegade in perfect condition. no rust at all.
You can pm me or text me 312-927-1280
x 2
Im looking for the same to, although I am mechanically inclined, just don't have anywhere to work on my Jeep!
Hey Jeep973366, I recently found a guy welded my rusty front end frame close to the steering gear box. Work was good and honest!! His address is 2032 S. Elmhurst Rd, Mt. Prospect, Ph# 224-260-1634 Roman. It's a small size shop, rate was very reasonable and negotiable. My next project is for him to put up new body mount bushing and a 2.5" lift kit probably in the next couple week. If you happen to have any work need to be done and in close area, call or text me, so we can go together for even better discount.
Sounds good, let me know when you take your jeep in, I would like to meet him.

Mogarber, welcome back. How was the trip?!

Martinez, I'm just waiting for Mogarber to PM me his address so we can meet up on the 20th, Saturday, 1-3pm.
Sorry Martinez, it's actually Sunday, not Saturday.... my bad.
I may be in indiana but if I'm in town I would be interested in swinging by and make an introduction.
That works
Mogarber's jeep is at the shop and may not be ready for this weekend. He will let us know.
Hey guys. My Jeep died on my on Tuesday. Couldn't fix it myself so I had it towed to the mechanic. He is still looking at it and hasn't even told me exactly whats wrong. I am waiting to hear from him but its unlikely my Jeep will be back by Sunday. Let's postpone until my jeep is home. Sorry for the trouble.
Finally I found this mobile mechanic to put a RC 2.5" lift kit to my Renegade for only half of the cost of a shop. Hus name is Juan, used to work at a Jeep dealer. very nice to work with. Check him out, his # 773-642-6017.

Sam Elliott gets the top spot today. One of the greatest actors ever. I saw Up In The Air this weekend and Sam has a small part in it and I was really happy to see the guy. As for the movie itself? Hmmm. Great movie. Fantastic. You should definitely see it but to me anyway it was not Best Picture material and the product placements in the movie are so over the top they become distracting. It almost seems like scenes were invented just to give another 30 seconds of air time to companies.
Long time no see Brandon Routh and Courtney Ford.
Very cute picture of Christina Aguilera and her son.
You just can't make this kind of stuff up. Celine Dion and her son for sure. Although he did forget about combining the mouth with the dramatic hand and arm gesture. He will learn.
An American Pie reunion.
It has been awhile since I have given you some Christopher Meloni love. Who is going to volunteer to talk to him about his shirt?
Carlos Ponce – Miami
And then Chris Rock stabbed Spike Lee with fake scissors. Oh, speaking of Chris Rock. The movie I am looking forward to the most next year stars Chris Rock. It is called Death At A Funeral. It looks amazing.
Not looking so amazing is Emeril. It's ok to buy bigger sizes Emeril.
Last night Emma Roberts and
Julia Roberts attended the same event but I didn't find any pictures of them together.
Does Hugh Grant look a little heavier to anyone?
Here is another look at Hugh and Sarah Jessica Parker's dress. I'm not sure what look she was going for there, but she certainly is in shape.
Also at the premiere was Elizabeth Hurley. You know nothing odd about her showing up wherever Hugh is.
Johnny Depp in the Tokyo airport.
Apparently this Johnny Depp is a popular guy.
Another celebrity earns a quick $100 and some free shoes.
Lea Thompson and her daughter Zoey.
The good news about this whole thing is that apparently Miley Cyrus did give Prince Charles her gum to hold while she met the Queen.
I don't care what fancy name you give them or how much they cost, they are pajamas.

A January Primary with Same Day Registration in Nevada?
posted at 8:25 pm on October 20, 2011 by Anita MonCrief
This week all eyes turned to Nevada as the GOP presidential candidates geared up for yet another debate. As Americans watched Mitt Romney and Rick Perry duke it out on stage, the true battle was going on behind the scenes.
On October 22nd the Republican party of Nevada will decide on the contentious issue of same day registration for the caucus.
"Nevada GOP Chairwoman Amy Tarkanian, who told me weeks ago she wanted to try to get same-day presidential caucus registration to fuel voter registration, has decided to put an agenda item on the Oct. 22 state central committee meeting."
The response to this initiative was swift as local activists chimed in on the plan:
"The issue came to a head over the weekend. Jeri Taylor-Swade and Laurel Fee, the leaders of TRUNC — Tea Party & Republicans Uniting Nevada Conservatives — blasted Tarkanian and the party."
'This is a wide open door to massive voting fraud and disruption of the Republican process by Democrat-controlled Acorn type organizations and elitist, calculating Republicans wishing to control the election outcome in our important swing state,' TRUNC said in a news release.
After the press release from the leader of TRUNC appeared, the Nevada GOP went into full damage control mode and even released the following statement on their website:
Denials were followed by personal attacks on the opponents of SDR. A review of emails provided by insiders paint a picture of a disorganized state party who got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Private emails admit that SDR is on the table and why the Nevada GOP wants it, however, the public backlash on the activists seeks to undermine their credibility and silence their efforts. See quote of the story in Las Vegas Sun below:
"The TRUNC missive, which I have posted below, is striking in its melange of rumor-mongering and conspiracy-theorizing — a classic example of why no one in his or her right mind would want to chair a political party. These folks seem to think it's a bad idea to have prominent GOP elected officials involved in party business and deride Tarkanian's attempts to professionalize the party. It is quite the read, as you will see."
"Below that missive, I have posted Clark County Chairman David Gibbs attempt to bring sanity to the discussion, which, in this venue, may be a fool's errand. The Republicans also are hobbled by so many GOP legislators arguing last session against same-day registration for elections, raising some of the same issues the TRUNC folks do. Yes, a caucus is different than an election. But the argument for doing so — an opportunity to mimic the Democrats' success in voter registration of 2008 — would seem to outweigh the paranoia."
Keep in mind that same day registration is not the only change that the Nevada GOP wants to implement ahead of the 2012 elections.
"Nevada's GOP moved up the date of its caucus to Jan. 14, which threatens New Hampshire's long-held first primary status and may push its nominating contest into December. The state's election law states that it not only goes first but also seven days before any similar contest."
The fight over the primary rages on and this is where things get complicated. Why is all of this important? Why should I care? All of those questions may have alreadly come to mind. Everyone should be familiar with the old adage about those who don't understand history.
ACORN, Obama's Project Vote, The ACLU and a host of the usual liberal suspects have been pushing for SDR in key states across the country. Project Vote and ACORN have partnered with Demo's and organizations like it to weaken our electoral system with such laws.
Just last week a scathing report from a same day registration state was released and it shows that Minnesota leads the nation in voter fraud, mostly because of SDR.
"Minnesota Majority today released a report on voter fraud convictions stemming from Minnesota's 2008 general election. The report finds that 113 individuals who voted illegally in the 2008 election have been convicted of the crime, "ineligible voter knowingly votes" under Minnesota Statute 201.014.
'As far as we can tell, this is the largest number of voter fraud convictions arising from a single election in the past 75 years,' said Minnesota Majority president Jeff Davis, 'Prosecutions are still underway and so there will likely be even more convictions.'
"…'The problem rests largely on our current Election Day registration system,' said Davis. 'Most of the fraudulent votes cast in 2008 could have been prevented by using the normal registration and verification processes. But since the Election Day registration process does not include eligibility verifications, it simply leaves the door open to these kinds of abuses.'"
Who benefits from an early primary and same day registration in Nevada? Let's see. Corey Drumright is the caucus director for the Nevada GOP. His LinkedIn profile reveals other interesting connections:
Let's assume for a second that it means nothing that Drumright worked for Romney in 2008. Here is a screenshot of the announcement of the October 22nd meeting and of new staff being added to the Nevada GOP.
Here are screen shots for both of the highlighted names, Alan Philp and Gentry Collins.
So far, that's three former Romney staffers united in Nevada. Interesting.Even more interesting is the fact that David Gallagher, the Executive Director of the Nevada GOP is also a former Romney sftaffer.
In case you have lost count, that brings our total to four former Romney insiders pushing for same day registration in a state that has already caused controversy for moving it's primary to January. Romney's former staffers have also been linked to chicanery in the Florida primaries.
"When Florida defied Republican National Committee rules to move the state's 2012 presidential primary from an RNC-approved March date to Jan. 31, conservatives immediately suspected that state party insiders had orchestrated the move to help former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney thwart the momentum of Tea Party-backed candidate Herman Cain."
…"Yet while the moderate Republican faction in Tallahassee was immediately blamed for the primary date-switch, only insiders knew that a key factor was a push from inside the staff of the Tea Party's own 2010 hero, Sen. Marco Rubio. GOP sources in Washington and Florida say that Rubio's senatorial chief of staff, Cesar Conda, has been a major force in persuading Florida Republicans to move their primary to January."
'Cesar used to be with Romney's campaign,' one informed source explained to me in an interview today, adding: 'Conda used his contacts to push the primary to the 31st because they want Romney in.'"
Robert Stacy McCain points out in his article above the benefits of an early primary for Romney as does US News and World Report.
"A compressed primary calendar benefits former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in several ways. It gives less time for challengers to blunt his momentum. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, for example, would only have three months to get his campaign off the ground."
At this point there should be a flag on the field. Florida and Nevada? The RNC primary season is shaping up to be a repeat of the chaos from 2008 but when the rules are changed for a particular campaign, red flags have to be raised.
Across the country, the GOP is waging a war against voter fraud and have been very successful at getting legislation passed. Are the ex-Romney staffers in Nevada so shortsighted that they can't see the implications of introducing same day registration into the primaries? Is the Nevada GOP willing to sink its state further into the voter fraud quagmire? Reports of rampant fraud in Nevada sprung forth in 2008 and 2010. Nevada is the only state to ever try ACORN as an organization for voter registration fraud and should be quite aware of the perils of SDR.
Las Vegas is a gambling town and it seems like that mentality has invaded the rest of the state. Is Nevada willing to gamble away the general election to control the outcome of the primary?

Since you're here, you're probably a lot like us: creative, practical, caring, and ready to inspire a better way. We are inspired to do things right and keep things simple. We believe in treating everyone as if they were our friend, protecting our environment as if it were our home, and finding creative solutions to over complicated challenges. In short, we are Way Basics. Paper based storage furniture became the foundation of our initial introduction for the brand. Our founder, Jimmy, thought it would be fun to create a recycling bin made from recycled paper, since it's one of the most commonly recycled materials. It comes flat and then pops open like paper grocery bag, but a much fancier design. You can throw all your recyclables in it, and then recycle the entire thing - then pop another one open and the recycling starts again. It's simple and elegant.
Simple: The World's Easiest Assembly
In our packages, you won't find mysterious collections of screws and nails, or complicated diagrams and instructions. That's because you can put our unique zBoards together without tools or hardware. Super-strong 3M brand adhesive strips let you fit the pieces neatly together. Just peel, stick, and you're done.
Safe: Zero Formaldehyde Or VOC
We treat the people of the world as our family. We want you to be safe and live the healthiest life possible. You can rest assured that our products aren't polluting the air inside your home, as there are no VOCs or formaldehyde in our products. VOCs are chemicals that become a gas at room temperature, such as formaldehyde. Products made with those chemicals will release the gas into the air, a process called off-gassing, and if high concentrations of formaldehyde are off-gassed and breathed in, it could cause health problems. We also use a water-based glue that is completely recyclable.
How Strong Is The Double-Sided Adhesive Tape?
Very, very strong. We use only 3M industrial-strength heavy-duty adhesive tape on our products. To take full advantage of all that sticking power and get optimum adhesion, make sure your bonding adhesive surfaces are clean, dry, and properly joined. It works best if you put together your furniture in a room that's between 70° F to 100° F (21° C to 38° C). This super-tape's bonds get stronger during the first 24 hours, so we recommend that you let your furniture sit in place for the first day.
What Is zBoard?
Our patented manufacturing process turns this post-consumer recycled paper into superbly strong paperboards that weigh 62% less than particle board with unmatched quality and durability. zBoards are the wave of the future thanks to the basic principles of being simple, fun, practical, and made from one of the simplest materials ever - paper.
How Strong Is It?
It's very strong indeed! zBoards are made from multiple, overlapping layers of paperboard and corrugated paper that combine to withstand tremendous pressure. We like to describe the zBoard as the "carbon fiber of paper." A cube has a recommended max weight of 50 lbs.
Can I Stack Them?
Yes, cubes are designed to be modular and can be arranged any way to fit your space and create your own organization system.
Great For Home, Kids, Office
Way Basics Cubes are the perfect storage solution for any room in your home, kids love them, and they even find their way into the work environment.
Toxin Free
zBoards are made from post-consumer recycled paper and do not consume additional natural resources like trees and the enormous amounts of water needed to make virgin paper. Way Basics furniture also does not "off-gas" or contain formaldehyde and VOCs.

Stylish, Handy Storage
I like this product. It is light and stylish. I think it is a little pricey for what it is and for the fact that it needs to be hand assembled. It can be a little tricky to achieve perfect right angles, and there is no do-over, once pieces are adhered. Figured it out after the first one, though, and the practice one doesn't look too off.

Great Design
This cube is so easy to make and it looks stylish. I like that no tools are required. It works really great next to my bed because of the extra height that the regular cube doesn't have. I put my alarm on top and my books at the bottom. Love it.
- Review by CarpenterOfCool (Posted on 4/20/2010)
Look how stong this is!
I weigh 200 lbs and am standing on this product. Its just as strong, if not stronger than any of the other furniture in my house! I love it!
- Review by Nursika (Posted on 4/20/2010)
These Cubes are fantastik!
I have been looking for a small bookcase that I can put my 15 nursing books in my closet at the bottom. I could not find anything that I had in my imagination. After multiple searches on amazon.com, I was so happy when I found the way basics cubes! They are perfect size, colors and so easy to assemble. They are very durable, strong and fun too! I bought 2, lined them together and they are excellent for my books. I plan to get 2 more. Love them.

Den Dekker perfectly fine at Double-A
Mets outfield prospect goes 5-for-5, scores three, plates one
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | June 8, 2012 7:43 PM ET
The Mets' No. 15 prospect continued his "good" season by going 5-for-5 with two doubles and three runs scored Friday as Binghamton held on for a 9-7 victory at Trenton.
Den Dekker singled in the first inning and scored one batter later on a three-run homer by No. 20 prospect Jefry Marte. He doubled in the third, singled again in the fifth and doubled home a run in the seventh before scoring on Eric Campbell's base hit. Den Dekker's third single of the night in the eighth completed the second five-hit game of his career.
"I've been seeing the ball well lately and it carried over into tonight," said the University of Florida product, who went 5-for-6 for Class A Savannah on Aug. 24, 2010. "It was a good game tonight. It's crazy. I don't think even in college I had one and I know I have two [in pro ball]. It's a good feeling, but I have to come back tomorrow and get ready for another one."
A fifth-round pick in the 2010 Draft, Den Dekker has been on a roll for four games, going 13-for-18 with four extra-base hits and seven runs scored.
"I've been aggressive early in the count and I'm getting some pitches to hit," he said. "I'm trying to stay aggressive and get a pitch to hit early."
Den Dekker, who recorded Binghamton's first five-hit game since Juan Lagares had one on July 25, 2010, ranks second in the Eastern League with a .336 average. The 24-year-old center fielder paces the circuit with 77 hits, 20 doubles, 45 runs scored and a .556 slugging percentage in his first full season with Binghamton. He played 72 games with the B-Mets a year ago.
"I finished last season here. I struggled, but I think that gave me some insight into the league," Den Dekker said. "I saw the difference in pitchers between High A and Double-A."
Marte finished 3-for-4 with four RBIs while batting behind Den Dekker.
"He's a great hitter and he's having a great year," Den Dekker said. "You like to hit in front of a guy like that because you know you're going to get some pitches to hit."
Zoilo Almonte, the Yankees' No. 16 prospect, plated a pair of runs for the first-place Thunder.

The Bank of America has notified someone I know that their floating rate mortgage will go from 4.50% in 2009 down to 3.125% starting February 2010. That's a whopping drop of 1.375% and will result in big monthly savings.
I haven't seen much about this in the financial press but I'm guessing that this magnitude of mortgage rate cut will have a significant impact the US economy, since there are so many floaters out there. That should mean money available to families, to either save or spend. Saving is good, since the federal government needs all the bucks it can borrow next year and it would be nice to cut its dependence on China. Spending is good too, especially on products and services made in America, to boost economic growth and employment.
OK you financial wizards of Wall Street, run the numbers and tell us the macro-economic impact of a cut of 1.375% on US floating rate mortgages next year.

I have several handguns and the P2000Sk V3 in .40S&W is one of the most accurate ones that I own. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with the P2000SK.
Hey guys I am looking at buying another handgun and came across the P2000 SK at the dealer today. I don't have an opportunity to shoot one though. I have one other handgun (Walther PPS 9mm). Can anyone give me some real feedback on this weapon? It has night sites and laser included w/3 mags.

Yeah the p2000 Sk is nice and small a lot better than trying to carry something like a 45 around very nice gun....
My father has one in .40 cal, and it is a very nice CCW gun. Even with the .357 sig barrel it is a very accurate piece. Sexy gun too, the more I look at it, the more I like its short snubby look. The SK is quite short being a sub-compact, but he was able to get a set of Pearce Grips for the glock 27, I believe, and slighly modify them to fit his HK. It requires drilling an additional hole in the bottom of the piece to fit the HK mag internals, but it works out perfectly and makes the gun very manageable. Pearce does not yet offer a grip for this model...... just thought I'd add that.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
I really wanted to get a P2KSK 9mm for my summer carry but they were hard to find and I found a G30 I couldn't say no to. Still want one some day, though.
The P2000SK is IMHO the most rockin' gun out there. It is reliable for everyone to shoot, even your potentially limp wristed grandma; it won't jam.
The slide release is girl/arthritis friendly; a truly easy to rack slide.
The SK is extremely accurate and as with all HK guns I have ever used, came from the factory with the sites right on, no adjustment necessary.
The SK comes with two backstraps, so it should be able to fit your hand like a glove. Small enough to carry with a ten round mag.
I am a former Walther PPK/S carrier myself:
But now, prefer the SK at my side:
Best of luck to you, whatever you decide.
