Calvin Klein: Crawling With Mannequins
Last night, Calvin Klein's underwear launch was the place to be–Hilary Swank, Djimon Hounsou, Fransico Costa, a seemingly endless stream of photogs to capture them all, and lots and lots of MODELS. Liya Kebed
e, Behati Prinsloo, Erin Wasson, Jessica Stam, Doutzen Kroes. And those were just the guests–there was also a large assortment of bronzed bods hanging out (in their new Calvin Klein Steel underwear, of course) in glass cases suspended from the ceiling. I ran into Alexander Wang, who recently contributed his designer diary to our site, and he was cool as a cucumber, despite his show being less than 24 hours away. Wasson will be doing the styling–"I honestly have no idea what I'm doing!" she told me. "That isn't true," Wang said. "She just has innate style, she may not know why she's doing something, but she owns it." (Wang and Wasson, at left)
Meanwhile Diane Von Furstenberg hosted Nina Garcia's book party at Socialista, and the crowd gave new meaning to the term beautiful people. Michael Kors, Margherita Missoni, Rachel Zoe, Tommy Hilfiger, and Erin Fetherston nibbled on duck carpaccio while a mariachi band made beautiful background music. Ninas's Little Black Book of Style just hit shelves, and you can get a glimpse of it here.
And finally, the party for the Repetto pop-
up shop at An Earnest Cut & Sew: the highlight was the beautiful Juila Restoin-Roitfeld, in an Alaia skirt (borrowed from Mom's closet, perhaps?). She told me she just landed a new job with our friend Trey Laird at advertising agency Laird & Partners–I guarantee she will be the best dressed girl in the office...

Justin Bieber Twitter: Fans 'PrayForJustinsCar' Hashtag Goes Viral After Alledged Hit and Run, Cat Tuts Has Own Twitter Account [INSTAGRAM PHOTOS]
Justin Bieber was cleared in the hit and run case that was going to go bad for him, and we know his fans and cat Tuts, who has his own Twitter account, are thrilled.
According to TMZ, the LAPD police cleared the 19-year-old "Boyfriend" singer of the alleged hit and run of a photographer, which he said he didn't know he hit anyone as he left the Laugh Factory around 11:45 p.m. Monday night in his white Ferrari.
Lil' Twist was in the passenger seat, and several paparazzi was taking pictures. He was telling some of the photogs to get out of the way, but when he drove off he appeared to pin one of them between the Ferrari and a parked car, TMZ reported.
"Justin did not stop. It's unclear if he knew the pap was claiming he'd been hit," TMZ said. "The paparazzo (not a TMZ employee) was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital for treatment. Some witnesses were unclear what, if any, injury he suffered ... others suspect he hurt his leg."
Even though the news seems gruesome, Beliebers just KNEW that their favorite pop star was not at fault, and blamed the photographer for his woes.
How do we know? Because the hashtag #PrayforJustinsCar is trending on Twitter. Yes, they rather pray for Justin's Ferrari than for the alleged victim.
So Bieber's 40.5 million Twitter fans are happy, as well as his cat Tuts.
Tuts is so famous that he has his own Twitter account and has numerous photos on Bieber and Tyler the Creator's Instagrams.
The Huffington Post described the fever over Bieber and Tuts:
Beliebers have been going nuts for Tuts since he first showed up on the singer's Instagram four weeks ago, and it's easy to see why, as there is something strangely appealing about the awkward-looking feline.
Maybe Tuts is Justin's spirit animal? His constant glower and squished-up face reflect Justin's inner angst as he transitions from squeaky-clean Disney star into a grown-up urban heartthrob.
Tuts is clearly on the road to stardom and is already cultivating a snarky, diva-esque attitude, tweeting yesterday, "40 million beliebers are jealous of me :) #meow" We expect big things to come.
Do you like Justin Bieber's cat Tuts? Sound off below!

Mercurial, Part II: setting up Mercurial on TextDrive
April 06, 2007 | co.mments
The wonderful people at TextDrive don't support Mercurial centrally, but since Mercurial is a Python app, you can set it up locally on your account. If you're like me, you'll also want to be able to push and pull changes over HTTP for multiple repositories using the hgwebdir.cgi script. The rest of this post is a (very) terse description of how I set things up on my TXD account, based on the publishing instructions in Mercurial Wiki.
Install mercurial in your home folder:
#mkdir ~/local; mkdir ~/local/mercurial # cd ~local # wget http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/release/mercurial-0.9.3.tar.gz # tar xvzf mercurial-0.9.3.tar.gz # cd ~/local/mercurial-0.9.3 # python setup.py install --home=~/local/mercurial # nano ~/.profile PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/local/mercurial/lib/python PATH=${HOME}/local/mercurial/bin:$PATH #export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/local/mercurial/lib/python #export PATH=${HOME}/local/mercurial/bin:$PATH
Create a base configuration file:
# touch ~/.hgrc # nano ~/.hgrc [ui] username = your name
Check your setup:
# hg debuginstall Checking encoding (US-ASCII)... Checking extensions... Checking templates... Checking patch... Checking merge helper... Checking commit editor... Checking username... No problems detected
Make a public repository area, and serve it:
# mkdir ~/web/public/hg # mkdir ~/web/public/hg/repos
~/web/public/hg/repos is where you will create your public mercurial repositories. Note that symlinking into here doesn't work, they have to be housed. To serve it out
# cp ~/local/mercurial-0.9.3/hgwebdir.cgi ~/web/public/hg # chmod 755 ~/web/public/hg/hgwebdir.cgi # nano ~/web/public/hg/hgwebdir.cgi import sys sys.path.insert(0, "/users/home/$youraccountname/local/mercurial/lib/python")
Now tell the cgi where the repos are (for example suppose we had created a repo called 'weblog'):
# nano ~/web/public/hg/hgweb.config [paths] weblog = repos/weblog
Create a user account for pushing changes:
# mkdir etc # htpasswd -c ~/etc/hgpasswd $mercurialname
Configure apache access to the repositories:
# nano ~/web/public/hg/.htaccess Options +ExecCGI RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /hg RewriteRule ^$ hgwebdir.cgi [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule (.*) hgwebdir.cgi/$1 [QSA,L] AuthUserFile /users/home/$youraccountname/etc/hgpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "My Repository" AuthType Basic <Limit POST PUT> Require valid-user </Limit>
the above will allow anyone to browse
http://$yourdomain/hgand see all the repositories under:
The Auth* directives mean commits are restricted to authenticated users, but anyone can browse (if you want to restrict browsing add GET to the methods in <Limit>. The rewrite rules are explained in the mercurial wiki.
For each repository under repos you'll need to add the following to its .hg/hgrc file:
[web] push_ssl = false allow_push = $mercurialname
where "$mercurialname " matches what you added to hgpasswd earlier. This isn't secure - mercurial by default does not allow push over http, with good reason, you have to disable via push_ssl. If you can get a https setup running in TextDrive, you should do so (and tell me what you did ;).
To pull a repository down via HTTP use "hg clone":
# hg clone http://$yourdomain/hg/weblog weblog
To commit (you'll be challenged for auth details):
# cd weblog do work # hg ci -m "my changes" # hg push http://$yourdomain/hg/weblog pushing to http://$yourdomain/hg/weblog searching for changes http authorization required realm: My Repository user: $mercurialname password: adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files

April 6, 2007 07:55 PM
This is great! Thanks! When you twittered that you were doing this I'd hoped you'd type it up.
Just to double check, the above setup is in-secure (unecrypted?), right? Getting SSL stuff setup at textdrive (and probably anywhere) always seems tedious.
Does hg not work over SSH?
Oh, sorry: that last comment was from me. I'm always forgetting to put in my name with your username info at the bottom of these comment forms
ssh: It does; but I'm no good at setting it up.

"important arrival," 1742, an extended sense of Advent "season before Christmas" (Old English), from Latin adventus "a coming, approach, arrival," in Church Latin "the coming of the Savior," from past participle stem of advenire "arrive, come to," from ad- "to" (see ad-) + venire "to come" (see venue).

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 22, 2013
The Syrian opposition and rebels have come to terms with their inability to beat Assad's army on the battlefield and are ready to talk. Assad won't hear of stepping down and is preparing to run for another presidential term in 2014. Moscow which is hosting the talks stands behind him.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 22, 2013
If Russian personnel pushed the button of the anti-air missile that allegedly downed an Israeli done over the Lebanese Beqaa Valley, it carried a message from Moscow to Jerusalem to that Lebanon as well as Syria is under its protection.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 21, 2013
Hizballah forces went on alert Thursday, Feb. 21, upon the expiry of a 48-hour ultimatum slapped down by Syrian rebels to halt the Lebanese group's military support for Bashar Assad - or else. debkafile: Relevant to this chain of events is the Syrian claim that its anti-aircraft missiles downed an Israeli drone Wednesday over the Lebanese village of Deir al-Aachayer. Those events were touched off by the initial preparations in Moscow for a political process between Syria's warring parties for determining the country's future.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 19, 2013
Bashar Assad has evacuated most of the troops of his 5th Army Division from their permanent bases on the Golan opposite Israeli forces and transferred them along with their artillery to Damascus, debkafile's military sources report. This step was intended by Assad to reinforce the defense of his capital, while at the same time providing the al Qaeda-linked fighters in rebel ranks direct access to the Israel border. In no time, the jihadists are expected to turn their guns and missiles on Israel.
DEBKAfile Special Report February 17, 2013
The North Korean test of a "miniature nuclear device" capability, combined with Iran's ability to launch a capsule with a monkey payload into orbit, add up to their having achieved a nuclear warhead capacity through shared technology. Officials in Jerusalem were dismayed to discover that, instead of cutting this menace short, members of President Barack Obama's circle were studying a bizarre plan to appease Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by seeking UN Security Council endorsement for his nuclear fatwa.
DEBKAfile Special Report February 14, 2013
In the murky world of double agents, no one can be sure who serves whom at any given time. Some straw companies also serve many spymasters - whether as their operating method or out of greed. Ben Zygier-Alon's mission has not been revealed, but some leaks suggest he may have been mixed up in this kind of vortex and, instead of jumping out, decided on his own bat to follow through all the way to a certain objective, so sealing his fate and possibly betraying his own masters.
DEBKAfile Special Report February 13, 2013
Despite their best investigative efforts, ABC TV found no lead to the mysteries of the life and death of Australian Ben Zygier, the Mossad agent. How did he kill himself in a top-security cell in 2010 under the tightest surveillance? Why was he held in secret, solitary confinement? An unnamed Israeli official said his exposure would have posed an existential threat to the country. An Australian inquiry has been launched to find out why Israel's notification of his death to the Tel Aviv embassy never reached Canberra.
DEBKAfile Special Report February 11, 2013
A secret US Pentagon study "casts doubt on whether the multibillion-dollar missile defense system planned for Europe can ever protect the US from Iranian ballistic missiles..." Clearly, the missile shield against Iran, which aroused ire in Moscow, is about to fall under the axe of US defense budget cuts. debkafile: Scrapping it will leave Israel and Turkey undefended against Iranian missile attack. But if Tehran can put a satellite in orbit of 36,000 kilometers above earth, as Ahmadinejad boasts, America is just as exposed.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 8, 2013
Iran is squeezing Assad hard to push Hizballah's weapons out of Syrian stores across the border into Lebanon. He is too heavily dependent on Tehran to refuse. Assad is also waiting for the weather to clear to settle his accounts with Israel with a limited military strike.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 1, 2013
Obama was convinced that by sundering Assad's military links with Hizballah, Iran would be isolated and Assad bereft of his regime's most active support and shield.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 1, 2013
Israel's war alert unfolded in five days from Jan. 25 to 29 as Hizballah came close to seizing a major Syrian chemical arsenal and jihadists fighting in Syrian rebel ranks threatened to capture another chemical store.
DEBKAfile Special Report January 28, 2013
Comments by US President Barack Obama and Ambassador Dan Shapiro lack a US commitment to step in against the Syrian chemical threat. Obama is concerned with juggling his global military priorities against a shrinking defense budget. debkafile: The onus for coping with the chemical peril is being passed by Washington to Turkey, Jordan and Israel. US aid will be confined to setting targets, providing intelligence and coordinating Israeli-Turkish-Jordanian military operations if necessary to take control of the dangerous arsenal.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 27, 2013
Tehran is looking seriously at a limited Syrian-Lebanese clash of arms with Israel – possibly using Bashar Assad's chemical weapons as a trigger, debkafile discloses. Israel reacted to this news by announcing Sunday, Jan. 27, the deployment of Iron Dome anti-missile batteries in northern Israel and Haifa port. A clash would serve Tehran by sidetracking Israel from striking Iran's nuclear facilities and help spin out its nuclear talks with the Six Powers. Israel has got plans ready for current military challenges.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 11, 2013
Since the US pulled its fleet away from Syrian shores and the rebels' arms supplies began drying up, Turkey and Israel assumed defensive postures vis a vis Syria, while the rebels began thinking about reconciliation with Bashar Assad.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 4, 2013
The early emergence of Syria's chemical weapons capabilities confused the Americans, produces US warnings and Israeli threats. Turkey soon applied to NATO for Patriot missiles.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 4, 2013
Obama again warns Assad not to use chemical weapons, but instead the Syria ruler starts moving them north and getting them ready for operations. US Congressman Mike Rogers says they are in condition use at a moment's notice.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 4, 2013
Syria launches Scuds against the rebels as they near the Al Safira chemical weapons depot. Lavrov asserts that the weapons are under control – for now. Netanyahu goes to Amman for talks with King Abdullah.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 4, 2013
The US, Russia and Israel fail to prevent Assad depositing chemical weapons in Hizballah's Lebanese strongholds. Not enough is being done to keep them out of al Qaeda hands either.
DEBKAfile Special Report December 30, 2012
Both sides to the Syrian conflict appear to have launched a form of poison chemicals against their foes. Western and Middle East military sources say pro-Assad forces may have brought into the Homs battle of Dec. 23 imported gas grenades which Iran used to quell the 2009 Tehran riots. debkafile: Although Jordan claimed Sunday it "would not enter into any alliance to protect itself," large NATO and US forces have prepared the kingdom for chemical attack. Some intelligence sources estimate Turkey or Israel may be next after Jordan.
DEBKAfile Special Report December 23, 2012
"At the moment, [Syria's] chemical weapons are under control," said senior Israeli defense official Amos Gilad Sunday, Dec. 23, echoing the statement by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov Saturday that Syrian chemical weapons "are under control for the time being." Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu then predicted early far-reaching changes in the Syrian regime with effect on "the sensitive weaponry present there." debkafile: A foreign force commandeered the chemical stocks at al Safira after forcing the Syrian army and rebels to hold their fire.

Sydney extremism threatens Anglican unity: author
Sydney Anglicans have become the new face of 16th century puritanism and are so radically conservative they pose a threat to the unity of the Anglican church, a leading religious commentator warns.
Religious extremism characterises the diocese's position on the ordination of gays and women and the blessing of same-sex partnerships, according to a Melbourne Anglican, Muriel Porter, in a new book to be published today.
The account by Dr Porter, a supporter of women's ordination, of the rising influence of the conservative diocese, entitled The New Puritans, suggests "energetic growth" in religious fundamentalism in the Anglican and Catholic churches.

Discrimination Practices During Workplace Learning: Their Extent and Impact on Student Learning and Lives
Workplace learning is currently a crucial component of most programmes leading to professional and technical careers. Universities of Technologies expect their students to spend up to a year of their training programme at the site of envisaged work, while professional programmes in, e.g. teaching, are requiring a longer period of time to be spent in schools. The new framework for teacher education in South Africa gazetted in 2007 requires a student teacher to be in schools for up to a year. In fact, the length of school-based placement within teacher development programmes is central to the conceptualizations of theoretical models (e.g. master-apprentice model, applied science model and professional model fo teacher development) that frame teacher development across the centuries. This signals that workplace learning, either through internships or bouts of school placements spread across the programme, is now being conceptualized as a crucial component of learning.
Currently, the major focus on workplace learning is on curriculum, policy and process issues. Little research has focused on discriminatory practices that impact on students learning and lives when students go on these workplace learning activities. This paper draws on empirical evidence from two different occupational specific training programme (Hospitality training and teaching), using surveys and narrative enquiry with students and staff of industries and schools, to identify the major forms of discriminatory practices that students are exposed to during their workplace learning and its resultant impact on their learning and lives. The paper finally alludes to curriculum intervention in the learning programme to help address theses gaps in training programmes.

This guest post was written by Marcus Taylor, founder of TheMusiciansGuide.co.uk, a music promotion site offering resources to help musicians succeed in the music business.
After a few years of many musicians using Twitter only as a promotional tool, I'm glad to finally see musicians starting to use Twitter effectively — my Twitter feed this morning was full of musicians having conversations with their fans and sharing interesting, exclusive content. Phew!
However, there's still room for improvement.
The thing is, we've still got a long way to go — I want to see bands setting up their Twitter accounts to optimize the amount of opportunities they receive — more gigs, more song sharing, more fans, more free gear, more free beer, more publicity of the band, etc. I'm confident when I say that I believe Twitter can get you more of pretty much whatever you want, if you set it up properly.
Remember, luck = preparation + opportunity. Twitter is full of opportunities, you just need to be better prepared in finding and dealing with those opportunities if you want to be "lucky" more often.
Here's a few ideas…
Using Twitter to get more gigs
If I was asked to book a band a tour using Twitter alone, here's what I'd do. First of all, I'd open Hootsuite or Tweetdeck or something and set up a "stream" containing searches for things like "looking for bands near:Melbourne" or "need a band near:Melbourne", obviously changing Melbourne to whichever city you were looking for gigs in.
Secondly, I'd find and follow all of the local promoters who could offer gigs, and create a stream in Hootsuite of their tweets. I'd regularly tweet with them and share their content to get recognised by these people. When the time's right and they're familiar with who I am, I'd send a request to perform at their venue.
Thirdly, I'd find people tweeting about concerts coming up in my genre and follow them — if they're going on about the V Festival 2012, and I write cheesy pop music, they may like my music. As most venues book the bands that provide a good balance of demand, quality, and low cost, it makes sense to focus on directly approaching the venues, and also getting fan demand for your music in a certain area, too. If you want more gigs, build more fans.
Finally, I'd follow hundreds of bands in the area and do the same as I did with the promoters — get to know the local artists and build relationships with them. The likelihood is that other bands will know promoters and venues who would be able to offer you gigs. Building connections with other bands is often easier than building them directly with promoters and it gives you a foot in the door.
Any more ideas? Leave them in the comments!

One of my teeth is underdeveloped and will probably need a cap while I have several gaps in my front teeth. How long will it take to close these gaps with traditional braces? I figured it'd take about two years.
I Needs to Close Gaps in Between Several Teeth Including my Two Front Teeth. How Long Would It Take? (photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Closing gaps
Closing gaps is easy to have done. More importantly is doing it so it looks natural and is stable with a proper bite. X-rays will make sure you don't have extra teeth that are caught in your gums and the bone support around the remaining teeth. Assuming all is ok moving your teeth where they need to be and then bonding, implants, or what ever to give you a full compliment of teeth and a great smile. Time for moving and fixing what ever needs to be done will take about a year. If the bite and back teeth get treatment it could take two years.
Time to close a gap in front teeth
You are about correct: your case will take about 2 years. It appears that you are missing tooth # 7, the right lateral incisor. If this is the case, you may need an implant and crown to replace the missing tooth and the left lateral incisor may need a veneer. You should speak with both your orthodontist and your dentist to get a plan in place to allow a good final result that will a lifetime.

(CNSNews.com) - Democratic strategist and former Clinton advisor Richard Socarides said Friday that the Republicans "have zero chance of taking back the Senate," and going after women Democratic senators "is part of the Republican war on women."
"The Republicans have zero chance of taking back the Senate. I mean it's going to get closer—the margin is going to get closer, but six Senate seats, I mean it could be very close. It could be 50/50, it could be 51-49," Socarides said on CNBC's "The Kudlow Report."
"The Koch brothers are targeting all the Democratic women. I mean this is part of the Republican war on women. They've got three women Democratic senators. They're pouring millions of dollars on it. I do not think that the Republicans are going to take back the Senate by targeting women and using the money of the extreme right to try to fearmonger these elections," he said.
He later said "This is a war on women – three women Democratic Senators."
Democratic women who are up for re-election are Sens. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Mary Landrieu (D-La.)
Socarides later predicted if Obamacare is largely unpopular in the fall, he believes "it could be 50/50."
In the 2014 midterm elections, 20 Democratic seats are up for election compared to 13 Republican seats. Republicans need to gain a net of six seats in order to regain control of the Senate.

(Lipoplasty; Suction Lipectomy; Body Fat Removal; Lipocontouring)
Pronounced: Lie-poe-suck-shun
by Jen Rymaruk
Liposuction is an elective surgical procedure. It reshapes the body through the removal of excess body fat.
Reasons for Procedure TOP
Some common reasons for choosing to have liposuction include:
Possible Complications TOP
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Liposuction results are not the same for everyone. Some factors that may affect results include:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
What to Expect TOP
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely:
Leading up to your procedure:
There are 2 anesthesia options for liposuction. Your doctor will help you to decide which is best for you.
Description of Procedure TOP
A special fluid containing saline (salt water), additional anesthetic, adrenalin (to minimize bleeding), and bicarbonate (to minimize pain from injection) will be injected into the fatty areas. You may have an incision for the fluid injection. 1 of the following 3 extraction techniques will be used:
After the fluid is added, a small incision will be made near the area to be suctioned. In traditional liposuction, the doctor will use an instrument called a cannula to suction the fat. A cannula is a hollow tube, like a drinking straw. A vacuum pressure unit, which is attached by a hose to the cannula, will provide the suction for the procedure. Once fat has been removed, the incisions may be sutured closed or left open to drain.
The following are different types of liposuction available:
How Long Will It Take? TOP
The length of a procedure depends on:
How Much Will It Hurt? TOP
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Post-procedure Care TOP
At the Care Center
When 5 liters of fat or more is removed, an overnight stay will be required.
Preventing Infection
During your stay, the care center staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
At Home
Results of the liposuction will not be seen right away. Depending on the amount of fat removed and the body's ability to heal, visible results may take weeks or months to appear. Typically, swelling begins to decrease within a few weeks of surgery. However, it may take months to fully subside. Bruising may last 3 or more weeks. Numbness may persist for several weeks before it begins to fade. After the swelling and bruising disappear, the true result of the procedure is seen. If postoperative weight is maintained, the results of the liposuction can be permanent.
To help with your recovery at home, you may need to:
If desired results are not achieved, or if the skin remains loose, additional surgery may be needed.
Call Your Doctor TOP
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Both of these have come up recently in conversations with various healers. I had never heard of either program before. I googled and read the web sites and now I want to hear from others....
Ever been to or know of anyone who has been to a Landmark Education or Optimum Health Institute event?
Ever heard of either one before?
Please share....
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." - Mother Teresa
Yes, an ex-housemate of mine got really into Landmark, as well as a friend of my hubby's. Honestly, I don't know much about the content, but I do know they use money-making and 'success' as the goals. I'm also pretty sure participants are encouraged to get others on board (maybe they get some sort of discount or reward?), but the content is secretive unless you actually join -reminds me of Scientology to be honest.

I know multiple people who went to Landmark - some ended up getting VERY involved. This is an organization I would never be part of. The relationships with those people were permanently altered (not for the better.) The changes I saw these people make in their lives were not positive. It almost gave them permission to behave terribly. When I hear someone is "into" Landmark it gives me a lot of insight into their mindset and I steer clear. THat is my personal experience.
my manager at one point brought me to a Landmark event. Not my cuppa tea. It was odd and cultish and felt unnatural and forced. I never returned.
My ex really got into Landmark for a while -- and spent thousands and thousands of dollars attending their events. He took me to an introductory event, and no, it was not my thing. Very clearly a money trap. I don't trust organizations that promise you the world, but not until you fork over $1200.
Thank you all VERY much!
I was feeling kinda weird about the Landmark event I was invited to and declined after reading the website. I didn't have anything concrete to say, "This bothers me," but it just didn't feel right. KWIM?
I am still curious about the Optimum Health Institute. One location is here in San Diego (suburb) and one is in Texas. It turns out I know a lot of healers who have connections to OHI. After reading the web site, it seems more "cult-ish" than Landmark. But, perhaps it is just geared towards certain types of people and is good training ground for new healers??? It is out of my price range, but they offer a free event and I was thinking of doing a mom's night with our playgroup. I don't want to invite my friends blindly, though....
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." - Mother Teresa
Looks like I'm the only one here who actually attended a Landmark event, but I'll say right off I agree with everything else everyone else already said/heard about it.
I do want to add that the reason I went was because there were some concepts I'd heard about from others who did it that felt useful, and I really did find those parts of it useful.
But the initial Landmark training is 3 days, with over a day of just trying to "sell you" on the concept and beat you over the head that you are not successful unless you bring other paying customers. In a class of about 100 people in my class, I think I was one of the only people who refused to identify others who would commit to taking a course. It made them nutty - clearly the Teacher's commission is hurt by not getting 100% of attendees to commit other paying customers. (FWIW they don't spend a solid day trying to sell you - it's throughout the 3 days that they beat you over the head but I calculated it added up to just over a day's worth of commercials and pressure).
I found myself asking a lot - and trying to ask the teacher after which I was never called on again - "If you are so sure this approach works to change lives, why are you spending so much time trying to pressure us into turning other people onto it? Won't we do that automatically if we really believe in it?" I never got an answer.
My overall assessment of the value of that experience: while there are definitely pieces of it that were valuable and useful and I continue to go back to them in my life... overall it's still not worth the expense and the grueling schedule and the bullying into pulling other people into it.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 7, No. 0396. Wednesday, 29 May 1996.
Date: Friday, 17 May 1996 6:47am
Subject: Rapes and Comedy in DC
In the last few months I've seen Washington productions of both Volpone and Two
Gentlemen of Verona -- both of which have an attempted rape scene. I found the
Volpone scene hard to take seriously, while the Two Gentlemen scene was
suddenly very real in an otherwise funny play. ( I think someone earlier
reported that the play had no gaiety, but I thought it was pretty amusing) I
was wondering to what extent we are ever meant to take a rape scene "seriously"
in a comedy. I almost felt Volpone was flawed because it seemed ridiculous to
believe this short fat old man could over power this young woman. On the other
hand, I can't help but think that the Two Gentlemen scene might not have been
staged more akin to Midsummer. When Demetrius (or is it the other guy) say's
"you do impeach you honesty to trust the oppurtunity of night," I never really
worried about the girls safety. What about it? did SHakespeare's audience get
treated to a lot of comedic rapes? that would appear to not be acceptable to
today's audience. For that matter, was a scene like the rape in Titus typical?


text: After many people's emails and questions about building guitars, I decided that articles about building individual guitar parts was not enough. Many people wanted to see details about building guitars from start to finish. I agree. There is a lot more to building a guitar than just cutting and glue the wood. You have to plan and build in a certain order if you want everything to come out right. I hope these new guitar building articles are informative and help you decide how to build your next guitar. These are just a few of my latest guitar building projects. Keep checking in because I always have more to come!

The Republican presidential race, a numbing slog doomed to be with us deep into the spring season, brings to mind the final line in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby":
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne ceaselessly into the past."
See Also
Has there ever been a more dispiriting quartet than these finalists? The ostensible front-runner barely won his native state last week. The main challenger, an ex-Pennsylvania senator who was kicked out of office by one of the largest margins in history, seems bent on rowing his boat ceaselessly into the past. The third guy, besotted by his own grandiosity, is being kept alive by donations from a casino mogul. The fourth guy, a fringe libertarian, has been a footnote from day one.
Today they'll traverse the 10 states of Super Tuesday. And when they emerge — battered anew, with no decisive verdict, and no choice but to beat on — Republicans everywhere will be confronting the same reality that has tortured them all winter.
It can be stated quite simply: The longer these candidates fight each other, the better Barack Obama looks.
The smart Republican players know what's going on. They can read the polls. The incendiary rhetoric (Rick Santorum says JFK's separation-of-church-and-state speech makes him want to "throw up"); the racist innuendo (Newt Gingrich dismisses Obama as a "food-stamp president"); the clueless elitism (Mitt Romney panders to Detroit by saying that his wife drives "a couple of Cadillacs") — it's no wonder that swing voters have been swinging in droves to the president.
What's striking is that so many players are willing to air the angst publicly. That alone is a sign of serious distress.
Alex Castellanos, a Republican strategist, remarked the other night that his colleagues were "going through the stages of death" as they witness this campaign. (I think he meant to say "grief.") Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain's 2008 race, said his people were "deeply, deeply unhappy" and "increasingly pessimistic" about beating Obama. Why? Because, first and foremost, "Mitt Romney is bleeding out among independent voters."
No question, the longer these candidates parade themselves publicly, the worse they come off. Santorum has predictably turned off swing voters with his theocratic lectures about how women should live their private lives; he may be the darling du jour of social and religious conservatives, but their priorities are out of sync with the mainstream. Not surprising, the more Santorum voices those priorities, and the more the pliable Romney indulges those priorities, the more they cede the center to Obama.
The party's ever-rightward tilt has been particularly torturous for Romney. He insisted that he wouldn't pander to the party's angry ID ("I won't set my hair on fire"), but he has been doing it for months.
Romney is basically a George H.W. Bush moderate-conservative who has the misfortune of running for president in a year when grassroots Republicans are demanding far-right fealty.
The tone for this primary season was set early on, when a debate audience booed Rick Perry — Rick Perry! — for touting the Texas law that gives tuition aid to young illegal immigrants who want to go to college.
Swing voters prize tolerance; the dominant GOP tone is anything but.
Now the candidates have made it to Super Tuesday. We already know how it will play out.
Romney wins Massachusetts and Vermont, Santorum (probably) wins Tennessee and Oklahoma, Gingrich wins home-state Georgia, Romney and Santorum run close in Ohio, Ron Paul as always wins nothing — and Republican leaders continue to writhe as the dream of beating Obama continues to recede.
Jeb Bush, brother of W. and son of H.W., lamented to an audience last week, "I watch these debates and ... it's a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people's fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective."
Jeb, a widely respected party player, has refused to endorse anyone this year. He already seems fixed on 2016, when presumably swing voters will have forgotten the current farce. Who can blame him?

Emhart Glass celebrates its centenary
Emhart Glass S.A.
Emhart Glass celebrates its centenary
Emhart Glass, the leading supplier of machines, controls, and parts to the glass container industry worldwide, is pleased to announce that 2012 is its centenary year.
Emhart Glass dates its birth to 1912, when Hartford-Fairmont was founded in Hartford, Connecticut by pioneering engineers Bill Lorenz, William Honiss and Karl Peiler. The company was created to market Peiler's revolutionary design for the paddle-gob feeder, which used gravity to automatically feed molten glass into moulds. Its successors went on to become the industry standard for glass feeding.
In 1924, the firm became 'Hartford-Empire' and patented the IS ('individual section') machine for automatically manufacturing glass containers. This too became an industry standard, quickly displacing rival technologies, and was continuously developed and refined over the following decades. Incredibly, the core technologies developed by Hartford-Empire for feeding and glass-forming remain essentially unchanged to this day.
Hartford-Empire developed quickly, selling and licensing its machines throughout the US and Europe. The 1940s saw the firm's first moves into automated inspection, as well as the first of many acquisitions that would turn the company into a major industrial group.
Renaming itself 'Emhart' and later Emhart Glass, the firm built a Europe-wide sales and manufacturing operation from the 1950s on, with plants and branches in Switzerland, Germany, Italy and the UK. The acquisition of Swedish manufacturer Sundsvalls Verkstäder in 1952 was an important milestone in these globalisation efforts. During the 70s and 80s, it was followed by the first sales and service operations in the Far East. In 1987, the group transferred its headquarters to Switzerland.
In recent years, Emhart Glass has launched NIS, the world's first completely servoelectric glassmaking technology, and FlexIS, the glass industry's first fully integrated control system. A Research Centre was built in Windsor in 2007 including a fully functional glass plant, and a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility opened in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, in the following year. In 2011, Emhart Glass struck a landmark joint venture with Shandong Sanjin Glass Machinery Co, China's undisputed leader for glass machinery.
'I'm very proud to be part of a company with such a long and impressive history,' comments Martin Jetter, Emhart Glass' President. 'It's humbling to look back at what our predecessors achieved – they had such brilliant ideas, and they built up such a strong and enduring business too. Our challenge today is to live up to their legacy by serving our customers with new ways to improve the technologies we've inherited – and to add to them with innovations of our own, for the benefit of our customers and the entire glass industry.'

Routledge ready to shine
Wayne Routledge is determined to make the grade in the Premier League with Newcastle.
Last Updated: 12/04/10 10:45am
Wayne Routledge is determined to make the grade in the Premier League with Newcastle.
The 25-year-old winger will return to the top-flight next season after the Magpies secured automatic promotion last Monday.
Routledge, who netted Newcastle's fourth goal in the mauling of Blackpool on Saturday, has struggled to make an impact in England's top tier throughout his career after making just three starts in spells for Tottenham and Aston Villa.
But the former England U-21 international, who moved to St James' Park in the January transfer window from QPR, believes he can prove to be a worthy addition to Chris Hughton's side next term.
"You have to learn from the disappointments you go through," said Routledge, who also featured on loan for Portsmouth and Fulham in the top-flight.
"I know only too well how difficult it is going to be in the Premier League, but I cannot wait to play there again.
"It has been frustrating for me the last few times I have been there. All you want to do is play, everyone will tell you that, and I did not have the chance to do that.
"Hopefully I am a better player for that. I certainly feel that I have improved and now I just can't wait for next season.
"This has been a great move for me. I am enjoying playing now, especially when you have 50,000 cheering you on every week. It's a nice place to be just now."
Routledge has warned Newcastle's midweek opponents Reading that their hunger to win games has not diminished after securing promotion last week.
"We know we are promoted, but out next goal is to go up as champions," said the former Crystal Palace winger. "We have goals here and things we want to achieve.
"There will be no letting up. We are striving to become champions."

Last year, Americans voted to take the country in a much-needed new direction by electing Democrats to lead Congress. Democrats promised to seek better pay for working Americans, starting by raising the federal minimum wage to $7.25/hour. In May, after a decade-long battle, Congress, under Democratic leadership, accomplished that important goal. While the Senate passed H.R. 2, the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007 earlier in the year, the wage was finally increased as part of P.L. 110-28, the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (2007 Emergency Supplemental).
The legislation will raise the federal minimum wage from $5.15/hour to $7.25/hour in three steps over two years, benefiting millions and helping to reverse years of wage stagnation. From a fact sheet released by the Democratic Policy Committee (DPC) entitled, After a Ten Year Battle, Democrats Raise the Minimum Wage for American Workers:
Raising the minimum wage to $7.25/hour will help some low-income families out of poverty. An increase in the minimum wage to $7.25/hour will add nearly $4,200 to a full time, year round minimum wage worker's income. In some areas, this additional money will be enough for a low-income family of three to cover months of groceries, utilities, or rent or nearly two years of child care or college tuition at a public two-year college. More importantly, when combined with the EITC and assistance programs, the additional income could lift a family of four above the poverty line, even afterpayroll taxes. While still not good enough, raising the minimum wage to $7.25/hour is a move in the right direction toward ensuring economic security for working Americans. (Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, "A $7.25 minimum wage would be a useful step in helping working families escape poverty," 1/5/07)
Millions of Americans will benefit from an increase in the minimum wage. Nearly 13 million workers, 10 percent of the U.S. workforce, will directly or indirectly benefit from a raise in the minimum wage to $7.25 per hour.
- 5.6 million workers (four percent of the workforce) will benefit directly.
- 7.4 million workers (six percent of the workforce) will benefit indirectly via resulting raises.
- 59 percent of those who will benefit are women.
- 10 percent of those who will benefit are single parents and 26 percent are parents.
- 18 percent of those who will benefit are Hispanic American.
- 16 percent of those who will benefit are African American.
In addition to workers, millions of American families will benefit from a raise in the minimum wage, including the 46 percent of affected families who have a minimum wage earner as their sole breadwinner and 6.4 million children who will see their parents' earnings increase. (Economic Policy Institute, "Minimum Wage Issue Guide," 4/07; Jared Bernstein Testimony before Senate Finance Committee, 1/10/07, "Minimum Wage Trends, Understanding past and contemporary research," 10/24/06)
You can read the entire DPC fact sheet on minimum wage by going here.
While more needs to be done, raising the minimum wage is an important step toward economic security for many Americans. As we continue our work on behalf of the American people, the nation can be assured that Democrats are as committed as ever to supporting workers and their families.

Infojustice Blog by Carrie Sager Covered by Techdirt
A recent blog post by PIJIP Dean's Fellow Carrie Sager highlighting the distinctions between ACTA and the TPP has recently received coverage on TechDirt and BoingBoing. The articles refer to a chart, created by Carrie, which juxtaposes provisions from TPP Intellectual Property Chapter with the comparable sections of ACTA. TechDirt blogger Glyn Moody writes:
"ACTA and TPP have much in common. That's no coincidence, since they are both born of a common desire to move away from multilateral forums like WIPO that are relatively open to scrutiny, to invitation-only groups negotiating behind closed doors. That lack of transparency has allowed all kinds of extreme measures to be proposed without any countervailing arguments being heard about why they are neither fair nor sensible.
But in many ways, what's really interesting is how the two treaties differ, because it's clear that in many places TPP goes well beyond ACTA -- it's not simply a transposition of ACTA to the Pacific Rim. As such, those differences represent the next turn of the copyright enforcement screw, and give us a fascinating insight into where the copyright maximalists are likely to be pushing for more when it comes to drawing up successors to ACTA and SOPA, say.
That fact makes some recent work by Carrie Ellen Sager particularly useful.

Product Description
Ronstan makes a variety of sheaves than can be used in a number of custom and replacement applications. Common applications of Ronstan sheaves include halyards and other lines leaving masts and fairleads for control lines. Ronstan sheaves are also used in several industrial and commercial marine applications. Depending on the load and friction requirement, different ronstan sheaves are used. Another important factor to consider when selecting a sheave is the diameter. The correct sheave needs to fit into the masthead or box that it is going into. Larger sheaves can help distribute the load of the line and reduce resistance. The dimension of each sheave can be found on the individual product pages.
