ADAM Rogers's father and his teenage killer have come face to face in an 'emotional' prison meeting.
This week, Billy Upton, who was just 16 years old when his punch led to Adam's death, was released from jail.
Today, Dave Rogers who has campaigned with wife Pat for an end to senseless violence in their 24-year-old son's memory, said he would recommend the 'restorative justice' process to other grieving families.
A confidentiality agreement between Lancashire Probation Trust and all the parties means we cannot reveal the details of the discussion, but Dave said the meeting was 'worthwhile'.
Upton, who has just turned 19, was jailed in April 2010 for four years for the manslaughter of Adam in July 2009.
He was eligible for early release on licence half-way through, with a further six months reduction calculated from the time he spent on curfew awaiting trial.
The Lancashire Telegraph understands Upton, from Rishton, has shown big improvements while in custody and has received good reports for his work with disadvantaged children and mentoring in prison.
Dave said: "I have a long-standing interest in restorative justice and believe it is an important principle that in a lot of cases can bring offenders and victims together.
"Personally, I wanted to make sure Billy was aware of the consequences of what he had done.
"Unless somebody does that they cannot begin to face up to what they've done and progress with a new life.
"Pat and I said at the trial that Adam was gone and it would give us no satisfaction to see another life ruined.
"I also wanted a clearer understanding of what happened that night.
"Only he could tell me that.
"It was certainly worthwhile for me and I hope for him.
"For me it was because I got my messages across.
"I did learn and understand more about that night.
"He was receptive and it was positive that he wanted to meet me.
"I knew it was going to be emotional for him and for me.
"It was difficult, there was upset.
"It was intended to help him get his life back on track and, for us, that would be the most satisfying thing in terms of Adam's memory."
A spokesman for Lancashire Probation Trust said: "William Upton has been released from prison having served the period of imprisonment required by law.
"He will now be supervised on licence by Lancashire Probation Trust for a further period of time and will be liable to recall if he fails to comply with the conditions and requirements of this licence."

Quote:Maybe it's just my self-defense DNA, but I don't want to expose myself to any kind of head kicks or strikes regardless of what the rules say. It's just good self-defense not to...
Quote:My take on that rule is that both fighters were "on the ground", so I don't see the difference in a standing kick to the head and one from the ground position. If the rule is that they're illegal on the ground, then, so be it... but it's a little inconsistent and a great advantage to the fighter on top.
Quote:JMHO, but if you're fighting full contact and not practicing self-defense, you're going to get hurt.I've already said that if the knee strikes were "illegal" then Shamrock should have been DQ'ed. I do find it interesting that the thread I did on striking the thoracic spine had everybody saying it wasn't a viable target, but somehow it's an illegal strike in full contact MMA because of the damage it can cause. That is interesting...

The World Entrepreneurship Forum named Ashish J. Thakkar the world's best young entrepreneur this week.
At NFTE, we work every day to teach, spark and nurture the entrepreneurial mindset in young people that leads to success. So, we take special note of successes such as Thakkar.
His story is quite remarkable. From a 2012 Forbes profile:
Ashish J. Thakkar is only 30, but in less than two decades, the Ugandan-born maverick entrepreneur has accomplished what only few attain in their lifetime. Thakkar began his entrepreneurial journey over 15 years ago as a high school student in Uganda where he sold computers to his schoolmates and friends. That small trading operation snowballed into the Mara Group, a diversified conglomerate with approximately $100 million in revenues…
Starting your first business at 15 and running a world-wide business conglomerate may seem disconnected but they're not. Learning the entrepreneurial mindset early is important. It teaches young people how to recognize and capitalize on opportunity – lessons that will stick with them their whole lives.
That's why it's essential that we make more young entrepreneurs – teaching them the drive and skills to turn their ambitions into reality.
Few people know that more personally than Thakkar. And it's why he's investing in entrepreneurship education around the world and why NFTE is looking forward to partnering with him and other visionaries to bring our programs to places such as China and communities throughout Africa.
Congratulations to Thakkar and the other entrepreneurs honored by the World Entrepreneurship Forum. And, on behalf of NFTE, thank you for your work and dedication to future entrepreneurs, innovators and business leaders.
We look forward to seeing which of the more than 500,000 students NFTE has reached will be the next big success.

Well. Thar was quite a ride.
When I realized that my choices has little to no effect on the story (the main path), I was a bit disappointed. But during the second chapter I fell in love with the idea, that your choices (and the superb script) are what makes the strong connection between the player, Lee and the other characters.
There are no good or bad decisions here, but personal choices that can change the way people see Lee (or kill them) and act accordingly. No matter what you'll do, you can't change their fate and that only made their fates even more tragic...
Some games are more about the journey than the destination. This is one of them.
Lee telling Clem to keep her hair short as he lay dying, and her promising to cut it herself got to me deep down.
The end of the world occurred pretty much as we had predicted - too many humans, not enough Jaffa Cakes to go around.
Actually, a few more thoughts about the series as a whole:
I love the way the characters look, they are so different from what you'd find in most videogames and such a gargantuan step up from the dopey humans in previous Telltale games. Can't think of many games where you'd find models with as much character as Doug, the St. John brothers, Brie, Christa and Omid.
The most memorable decision in the series for me all happened in the first 2 episodes (Giving the motel lady a gun or walking away, deciding who to save between Doug and Carley, distributing the food and killing or trying to save Larry). Not saying every episode needs to present a difficult decision to the player, but they sort of missed some good opportunities to do so like with Charles in the beginning of episode 4. And as I said, if Clementine's kidnapper wasn't a basket case deciding to kill him would have been a weightier moment for me.
Most of the action sequences sucked. Between this and Dreamfall I think it's safe to say adventure game developers should focus their efforts on other areas.
Knowledge of the comic sort of bit me in the ass. Since I knew Lilly would be ok after the events of the game (She appears alive and well in the prison/Governor arc) I didn't pay much attention to her opinions or safety. I tried to be nice to her whenever possible, but I never sided with her to the detriment of my relationship with any other character.
The dialog with Clem's kidnapper probably works better if you're more self-centered in your playthrough. In mine he just used the fact that the group (But not Lee) stole his food and that I left Lilly at the side of the road to justify his vendetta against Lee.
Decided to replay the first episode now that I finished my first playthrough and don't recommend it as it becomes very apparent how little agency you actually have. However it made me appreciate even more how well the game fooled me into thinking I was in control of the story, and in the end that is almost as good as actually giving that level of control.
Did anyone else feel that
the kidnappers reasoning might have worked a bit better if the station-wagon you did or didn't raid was found as you entered the city.
It just felt a little disconnected is all.
I don't think it didn't make sense, just his travelling there and following you seemed a bit implausible.
I told myself I wasn't going to cry. After all, it's just a videogame, and I don't do that sort of thing.
Theres a first time for everything, I guess.
Honestly, this game shouldnt work as well as it does. The engine is creaky, there are quicktime events at every turn, and for all the talk of tailoring itself to your play style, the narrative is extremely linear. But despite all this, it still affected me, and on a deeply personal level.
Ive always felt that the most important aspect of gaming is player choice, so logically, once I found out it was all just an illusion, I shouldve been somewhat upset. But I wasnt. At all. Though my decisions really didnt change much apart from the character interactions, they made the whole experience seem uniquely mine. Every mistake, triumph, regret they were all a part of my story. And though Im curious how events might have played out had I made different decisions, I could never see myself replaying it. That would just feel... wrong.
I really have to give props to the writers and voice-actors, because both were absolutely top-notch, and drew me in completely to the story and characters. Early on in the series, I was making my decisions based on what seemed like the logical, or best, course of action. By the end, though, they were driven entirely by emotion. I was willing to do whatever it took to keep Clementine safe.
When the choice came of whether or not to cut off my arm, I sat there agonizing over it. The fact that they gave you that choice (though it was again an illusion) made me believe that it would figure prominently into the ending. That if I cut it off, Clem and I would ride off into the sunset together, but if I didnt, I was dead for sure. Seemed like a fairly straightforward decision.
But then I stopped. Was I just being selfish? If I lost the arm, it would make rescuing Clem that much more difficult, and that much more unlikely. Though I wanted nothing more than to see Lee and Clem end up a nice happy family, all that really mattered was saving her. At any cost. So I kept the arm, and accepted that I was a dead man walking.
Then there was the finale. Nothing too extravagant, no explosions or white-knuckle rescues. Just two men sitting down and talking. And damn, was that intense. The revelation of who it was, how Id wronged him, and how the entire thing was my fault I couldnt even try to defend myself. He was right. Crazy, sure, but still right. And even when it had all gone to hell and I was choking the life out of him, I couldnt shake that feeling. So I stopped. I didnt fail the quicktime event, I just gave up. And when he jumped on top of me, the gamer inside said whoops, failure state, time to reload, and then Clementine shot him. And I felt even worse.
I dont need to go into the details of how the ending played out, but I made sure that she shot me. Not because I wanted to spare Lee the horror of becoming a walker, but because it was what Clem needed. It would give her closure, it would give her strength, and it would prepare her for the harsh realities of the world she was about to face alone. It felt right. And when that gunshot rang out and it cut to black, yeah, I absolutely lost it.
I wasnt a big fan of the after-credits sequence, mostly because the ending was so powerful, but I understand why they did it. Its not just a set-up for the (potential?) second season, but rather one of the main themes of the comic series. No matter who dies and who lives and what horrors they experience, life goes on.
I guess Ive been rambling for a while now, so I should probably wrap things up. This game is brilliant. Not so much the actual gameplay, but the way in which it handles the story and characters should be held as a high-water mark for the rest of the industry. I really hope that developers pay attention, because this is how you tell a story. This is how you make people care. And this is how you turn grown men into blubbering babies. Well done, Telltale.
I know what you guys are saying, I think actually
if there was no head in the bag and he was actually not completely insane, then it might have been more impactful. That said I just thought the whole logistics of him getting to you seemed a bit off, but it is a game, I suppose.
Someone with some literary expertise needs to compare and contrast TWD with ME3 and figure out how it is that Telltale managed to get it so right and how Bioware managed to get it so wrong when wrapping up a series. They really do feel like opposite ends of the spectrum and it's bemusing to me that Bioware are now shopping around to fans for suggestions as to how make future ME titles and whether there's scope for prequel. Shows you how little thought they put into considering the nagative impact of the approach they took.
I enjoyed how The Walking Dead didn't just keep building things up and having an antagonist that we never really knew anything about for the entire series. I think by doing that Bioware wrote themselves into a corner, where it would be very hard to write a satisfying explanation and resolution as we know very little about the Reapers and they have so far just proven to be almost invincible. The Walking Dead was measured with it's narrative, not over promising too much and making sure they could always deliver something reasonably satisfying.
So emotionally hung over after playing this but worth it, looking forward to more. Ending wasn't as good as I hoped but overall oozes awesome
I just finished episode 5 and wow what a powerful ending. Although I knew where it was headed, the execution is very well done. This is the first that I've tear up playing a video game
There's demand for explanations and happy endings from the general public and it only harms movies and games. For a certain kind of mouthbreathers everything has to have a clear, tidy and neat ending. God forbid some mysteries challenge their world view.
Why does the unknown make some people uneasy?

Birbal the Wise - VLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Emperor Akbar once ruled over India. He was a wise and intelligent ruler, and he had in his court the Nine Gems, his nine advisors, who were each known for a particular skill. One of these Gems was Birbal, known for his wit and wisdom. The story below is one of the examples of his wit. Do you have it in you to find out the answer?
Once, Birbal took his 10-year old daughter with him to meet the Emperor Akbar.
Emperor Akbar greeted her cordially and arranged for sweets and toys to be presented to her.
While conversing with her, he asked her whether she knew Persian. She replied, "A little less and a little more, Sire".
Emperor Akbar, puzzled by this reply asked Birbal to explain what his daughter meant.
What did Birbal say?
AnswerBirbal said, "Sire, she means that she knows Persian a little less than people who know Persian well, but a little more than people who do not know Persian at all!"
The Emperor was pleased with Birbal's daughter's wit and rewarded her with some more gifts. After all, she was a chip off the old block!

Tim Redding (2-4, 5.94 ERA) P
As Jerry Manuel said, David Wright is sitting out this game, just a day after he returned to the lineup and went 1-for-3 at the plate. Manuel said he wants to take it easy with Wright at first to see how he reacts to that first full game played. If he seems OK today and tomorrow, look to see Wright in the lineup more often through the rest of the year.
Redding tries to maintain his last few quality starts. He's still prone to the home run, especially in Denver, so he'll try to cut down on those. He's been pitching better than Pelfrey for sure. Of course, who hasn't?

There is always a big new trend in skin care. Twenty years ago, alpha hydroxy acids burst on the scene and kicked off a new era in skin treatment products. A decade ago, it was peptides and beauty from within. But where is the next big trend?
Now may be the time for epigenetics to become the new paradigm. Cosmetic science is increasingly driven not by chemistry but by biology, and the science of skin care keeps getting more and more sophisticated. Epigenetics certainly conforms to that trend, and the time has come for everyone involved in beauty product development to brush up on DNA.
We all know what the famous double helix looks like. In that twisted genetic vine, Watson and Crick felt they had discovered the secret of life.1 DNA contains the coding information for about 20,000 genes, which in turn direct the process of creating the proteins that are the building blocks of all organisms. DNA in humans contains about six billion base pairs divided between 46 chromosomes, 23 each from the mother and father, plus a small DNA molecule in the mitochondrion. Stretched out, the DNA chain would be two meters long, but it is intricately folded so it can fit within cells with diameters less than 10 μm.
Short sections of DNA are wrapped around proteins called histones, similar to how thread is wrapped around a spool. The protein-coding parts of the genome are called genes. In a process called gene expression, a specific section of DNA is exposed to encode a strand of messenger RNA, which is the final template for protein synthesis. Different sets of genes are turned on or off in various kinds of cells at different points in time, and differences in the types and amounts of proteins produced determine how cells look, grow and act.
Epigenome means "above" the genome. It consists of chemical compounds that mark the genome in a way that tells it what to do, where to do it and when to do it. The marks can be passed on from cell to cell as cells divide, and from one generation to the next. Each person's body contains trillions of cells, all of which have the same genome. Each cell is optimized for use in a different way. The epigenome influences which genes are active—and which proteins are produced—in a particular cell. The epigenome is what tells your skin cells to behave like skin cells.
Accepted wisdom is that there is no control over the genes inherited at conception. Research that started in the 1980s by Lars Olov Bygren indicated changes in diet—specifically feast and famine patterns in Norrbotton, Sweden, in the 1800s—dramatically affected life expectancies generations later. Changes in gene expression not caused by changes in the DNA sequence is the domain of epigenetics. The magic of epigenetics is that it may give us some control where we thought there was none, and this opens new opportunities to influence health, including the health of skin and hair.
Many reactions take place in the epigenome, and two of the most important are acetylation and methylation. Enzymes attach to the DNA, often near the beginning of a gene. If the enzyme can't attach due to a blocking methyl group, then the gene remains off. Scientists call this process methylation. The arrangement of these methyl groups can change in the course of a lifetime. Diet and environmental stress are two significant factors in determining epigenetic change, and altering methylation patterns is the key for skin care products targeting the anti-aging market.
It's increasingly clear that epigenetics hold obvious potential for skin care, and as long ago as December 2007, L'Oréal submitted an EU Trademark application for a "Lancôme Epigenetic Cosmetic." This may be used in Génifique Youth Activating Cream, although the technical details to verify this are lacking. In fact, all the commercial products claiming to use epigenetics are vague in describing the relevant science.
Estée Lauder entered the fray with its Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lift Age Correcting Collection,2 hedging its bets with the phrase "inspired by": "Inspired by the field of epigenetics, Estée Lauder Research further advances its decades of scientific expertise and innovation with our exclusive Life Re-Newing Molecules. The Life Re-Newing Molecules combine proprietary, rare and precious extracts from sea plants plus some of the most scientifically advanced technology—all meticulously sourced from across the globe, then brilliantly intertwined to create a skin-renewing breakthrough."
Some HAVVN DNA skin care products also cite "The Science of Epigenetic Skin Care" while going very light on details. Developed by Croatian physics professor Dubravka Pavelic and her brother Kresimir Pavelic, a molecular biology professor, the collection consists of three all-natural skin products, and the line extends out to also includes nutritional products and stresses the importance of lifestyle.3

Some Senators and Republicans might have finally found something that could improve their standing among the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have proposed that they take a pay cut.
S. 65, introduced by Republican Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, would repeal the law that allows for automatic lawmaker pay hikes.
There are several companion versions of the measure on the House side.
Another Senate bill, S. 124 by Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., would withhold Capitol Hill paychecks for each chamber if its members are unable to pass a budget resolution. A similar "No Budget, No Pay" bill was introduced in the House by Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn. The H.R. 310 has 59 bipartisan cosponsors.
And H.R. 396, introduced by Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Kan., who is a member of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee and the House Republican Conference Vice Chair, would cut Congress' annual pay 20 percent and keep it from going up until there was no deficit in the previous fiscal year.
"This bill seeks to address Washington's poor fiscal record and encourage members of Congress to get serious about balancing the budget," Jenkins said in a statement upon introducing the bill. She also noted that her measure "goes a step further than other Congressional pay proposals by restricting member pay to 2000 levels, the last time Congress balanced the budget."
While all these no-pay proposals make for good sound bites to feed a public that has a very low opinion of federal lawmakers, there are two problems with all the measures.
First, such pay limits would have little effect on the federal bottom line.
Jack Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College, told The Hill newspaper that cutting congressional salaries provides a minuscule amount of savings in the entire budget.
And second, there's no chance any of these no-pay bills will pass either the House or Senate.

What would you do if you were asked to paint a picture that would never fade without using any painting materials? When you need to form an amazing color scheme, it is clear that it would be impossible to do this without chemical paints. However, in nature, there are beings that can display astonishing colors without using any color pigments since the first day they were created.
Did you know that these beings, which we know very well, are furnished with amazingly beautiful evidences of creation?
When we try to imagine a world without color, we understand more clearly how important colors are for us. There is no doubt that the world we live in, and the universe itself has been furnished with vibrant colors and this is a great blessing created by Allah for us. Every detail, from the green of trees, the blue of the sky, colorful flowers, to the beautiful colors of animals, forms an incomparable harmony in nature. Moreover, in nature there exist such hues and shades that it is not possible to compare these to any other color. These colors that never fade are like a display of light for those who look at their strikingly shiny tones and shimmering reflections. Now let us examine how these striking colors form in some creatures.
How Are Colors Formed?
We rarely stop to think of the profusion of colors that surround us, and make the world so beautiful for us to live in; very likely, we give even less thought to how these colors are formed. In order for colors to be formed, first, light is required. When sunlight falls on an object, the object only reflects the light at a certain wavelength. This light comes to our eyes and turns into electrical signals, and as a result of a series of complex processes it is transmitted to the brain via sight nerves. We perceive colors once these signals are interpreted in the brain.
How Do We See Objects' Colors?
Chemical substances called "pigments" (used in painting materials) determine colors. Pigments emit certain wavelengths of light and reflect the rest, and we sense the emitted light in that wavelength as color; for example a red flower emits all colors and we perceive it as red thanks to its pigments that only reflect red color. However, research carried out recently has shown that colors can also form in some beings without the use of pigments. So how do these beings display amazing colors without the use of pigments?
Light itself is composed of particles called photons. Photonic structures are created with an order that responds to the movements of photons and ensure that these are directed with specific purposes.
Photonic Structures Instead of Colors in Some Living Beings
At the Museum of Australia where various butterflies are displayed, it was found that some butterflies become discolored, with the pigments losing their effect, while some species maintain their vibrant color even after a long time. As a result, scientists have understood that the source of some colors cannot be pigments alone and they have uncovered that the reason that the colors of these butterflies remains vivid is the "photonic structures" they possess.
One of these butterflies is the species called Morpho rhetenor.
• Striking blue colors that can be distinguished even from very long distances have directed scientists to make research about these living beings.
• When scientists examined this butterfly in detail, they came across micro crystals, which are a wonder of creation.
• The multi-layered plates and spaces in the wings of these butterflies have formed a photonic crystal structure by being arranged in a very delicate order. This photonic crystal structure passed through all the other wavelengths of the light and causes the wings of butterflies to appear as blue by reflecting the blue color.
Examples of Photonic Structures in Nature
In nature, living beings that form colors as a result of the photonic structures in their bodies, instead of color pigments, use the structural changes that occur as a result of complex reflections of light, refraction and spreading, and thus reflect their colors. The source of the amazing shimmering colors in the wings of butterflies, hummingbirds, parrots and some sea creatures like sea stars are these photonic structures.
Some birds have highly detailed colored feathers. For example, the peacock is a flawless proof of creation with its perfect shimmering colors. When the eyes in the tails of the peacock change position, it seems as though the color has changed. The basic reason for these shimmering colors is the photonic crystals in these birds' feathers that has existed since the first day they were created.
A Visual Feast in Nature: Shimmering Colors
Versicolor means an object changing its color when the observer changes his or her position. As an example of this effect, the colors of oil that spread on the surface of water change when observed from different angles. These shimmering colors, which cannot be obtained even with the brightest and purest pigment colors, are very impressive. The magnificent change that occurs in colors, via even the smallest change in the angle of the light, or the position of the observer, gives these colors an amazing beauty.
The photonic structures not only bring a shiny and striking appearance to butterfly wings, but also form versicolors that change, depending on small changes in angle. This light game is truly a visual feast. The foundation of this magnificent images that can be seen in butterflies, moths, some species of insects and the tails of peacocks, in the feathers of some birds like parrots, hummingbirds and ducks, and which are all manifestations of Almighty Allah's name "Al-Sani" (Artist), are based on photonic crystal structures.
Photonic Structures in Water-Dwelling Creatures
Recent research done about water-dwelling creatures have revealed the surprising complexity they possess. For example, a light-sensitive species of sea star called Ophiocoma wendtii uses photonic elements made up of calcite in order to collect light.
The same extraordinary structure is also seen in the nano-structures of the hair-like thorns of some worm species called polychaete. The two-dimensional hexagonal spaces, that look like window screens, are in every thorn in these beings, and form a natural photonic crystal. This order generates a partial photonic effect that distributes color in various directions. As a result of this, striking colors are produced in this sea creature.
The "nano" concept defines one in one billion of physical size. For example, a nanometer is one in one billionth of a meter, and a nanometer is a measurement that is smaller than anything human senses can perceive, and is obtained by two or three atoms arranged next to one another. The perfect arrangement of photonic crystals in nature signifies an extraordinary order in the size of nanometers.
The Discovery of Photonic Structures by Science
As scientists have observed, it is possible to produce photonic crystals using semi-conductors with the help a method called "nanolithography". It has been pointed out that light can be captured within a small space by using the irregularities formed in these structures as thin as one in tenth of the wavelength of light (30-50 nanometers). These photonic crystals, discovered towards the end of the 1980's, are structures that are shaped with an arrangement consistent with that of molecules in metallic or non-conducting substances. However, in nature these photonic structures have existed since the Cambrian period, meaning 500 million year ago. Scientists began to use photonic structures in technology in 20th Century. However, when they looked at nature, they saw that birds, insects, butterflies, sea stars have been using photonic structures, which they have begun to use just recently, for millions of years. Scientists have offered an explanation about the photonic structures being used by these beings in nature for millions of years as follows:
"Millions of years before we began to use light waves via synthetic structures, biological systems were using architectures in the size of nanometers in order to produce striking optical effects." (Dr. Peter Vukusic and Prof. J. Roy Sambles, Thin Layer Photonics, School of Physics, University of Exeter, England)
The Colors in Nature Are the Works of Our Almighty Lord
Almighty Allah created a perfect order with photonic crystals in an area as small as one in one billionth of a meter. The striking color and patterns in living beings that use photonic structures are only one example of Almighty Allah's infinite knowledge and art. These beings have had these colors since the first day they were created.
From the galaxies to the stars, from the infinite darkness of space to the creatures of this Earth, from the order in natural events, to the order of the human body and the wing of a butterfly, every detail in the universe clearly shows us the explicit existence of Allah, the Lord of the worlds, Who flawlessly creates the skies, the Earth and everything in between, through His infinite knowledge, artistry and intelligence. In one verse, our Lord reveals about His artistry and knowledge of creation as such:
"He is Allah – the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him.He is the Almighty, the All-Wise." (Surat al-Hashr, 24)

PHILADELPHIA- The College Sports Information Directors of America have named the Capital One Academic All-District teams in the sport of women's soccer, and University of Pennsylvania seniors Kathryn Barth and Claire Walker have been named to the District II team at the NCAA Division I level. With the recognition, they are now eligible for Capital One Academic All-America honors which will be voted on in November.
DistrictII consists of all the colleges and universities in the states of Pennsylvania, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. In order to be eligible for CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-District and All-America, an athlete must be in at least her second year at her current institution and hold a cumulative GPA of at least 3.30. The awards are voted on by CoSIDA members.
A former second-team All-Ivy and second-team NSCAA All-Region selection, Barth has a goal and two assists for four points this season. Walker, meanwhile, has been a mainstay on a Penn defense that has posted 11 shutouts in 15 matches this season and boasts one of the lowest goals-against averages in the country.
Barth and Walker are the just the fifth and sixth players in program history to earn Academic All-District recognition from CoSIDA, and the first since Adrienne Lerner in 2011. This is the first time Penn has had two women earn Academic All-District in the same season.
Penn is 10-1-4 overall this season, with two Ivy League matches still left on the regular-season schedule. The first comes this Saturday, when the Quakers are at Brown and kick off with the Bears at 7 p.m. Bothteams are 3-1-1 in conference play and tied for second place behind 5-0-0 Harvard.

Tyson foods is in the process of developing an audit system for its beef suppliers this year, with a plan to launch the beef version of its "FarmCheck" program in 2014. The program will involve audits of beef operations along the supply chain, focusing largely on animal welfare.
During last week's Animal Agriculture Alliance Stakeholders Summit, Charles Penry, Tyson's VP for government relations said the program improves supply chain accountability with goals of alleviating consumer concerns and rewarding producers for doing things right.
The company launched the Farm Check program with its pork suppliers in 2012 after studying perceptions, priorities, concerns and expectations of retailers, consumers and producers. Interestingly, Tyson's survey work indicated its retail customers are more concerned about animal welfare issues than consumers, and that producers are more concerned about proper treatment of animals than either group. However, about 75 percent of consumers are at least somewhat concerned about how meat is produced, including use of antibiotics and hormones, animal welfare and sustainability.
Penry said the Farm Check program operates under four guiding principles:
- Care enough to check on farms in person.
- Be humble enough to seek expert advice.
- Be curious enough to find better ways.
- Be committed enough to give it our full attention.
Tyson also is assembling an external, Animal Well-Being Advisory Committee and plans to announce the committee's members soon. The committee will include people with expertise in farm animal behavior, health, production and ethics, and will help the company determine research priorities and ways to improve the FarmCheck Program.

I keep putting off this problem and it's been several years now, so I need to fix it. I am now being hosted on a VPS and have the main domain and several other domains as sub-folders. The organization is thus:
Each one of those domains should appear to be stand-alone domains, with no reference to the main domain (unless it IS the main domain). In other words, if someone types in their browser "www.maindomain.net/number2domain" OR "http://number2domain.maindomain.net" they should get ONLY "http://number2domain.org". If they happen to type in "www.maindomain.net" they should get ONLY http://maindomain.net.
I have tried a number of ways in htaccess and today I found the tutorial frequently linked to and it has helped some, but I still have issues I hope someone can help with. Here is the contents of htaccess in maindomain.net:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^maindomain\\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://maindomain.net%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
This is the contents of htaccess in number1domain.com:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\\.number1domain\\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.number1domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
And this is the contents of htaccess in number2domain.org:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^number2domain\\.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://number2domain.org%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
I actually have about 10 domains and they are all set up the same way. Yes, I did run the tests and the server is set up properly. But I am making some kind of mistake as described below.
Using number2domain.org as an example, this causes all calls to number2domain.maindomain.net to be redirected to http://number2domain.org, which is good. But the problem remains that calls to www.maindomain.net/number2domain get redirected to http://number2domain.org/number2domain, which doesn't exist and causes a 404.
Any help from those who understand htaccess and mod_rewrite much better than I would be appreciated. I appreciate very much the efforts that went into that tutorial, but apparently, I am missing something - maybe parking on a dead brain cell.
You've gotten off to a good start but don't yet realize what the {REQUEST_URI} variable is: It is everything after the / separating the domain from the path/to/file (Apache 2.x). Therefore, the calls to the maindomain/subdomain contain subdomain as the {REQUEST_URI} so you must write code to remove that and only capture the path/to/file after the subdomain.
Okay, basically, you're using the maindomain and allowing the subdomains to be called from the maindomain. DON'T! The subdomains should be redirecting to their own subDIRECTORY which can then strip the subdomain from the path with something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^subdomain$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^subdomain/(.*)$ http://subdomain/$1 [R=301,L]
This should not be loopy despite the (.*) because you're changing domains (a subdomain is technically a different domain) so this will remove the subdomain from the {REQUEST_URI}. Be sure to replace my subdomain with your real "addon" domains properly escaped (i.e., the dot characters need the \'s).
BTW, I'd redirect all the subdomains before stripping the subdomain (including www) from the maindomain which you've shown before other code. ORDER MATTERS so redirect any subdomain call via maindomain before doing this.
Gee, you [ noparse ]'d your links, too! I'm impressed! :tup:
I moved your last sentence to comment on first because it made me feel good I did something right. Actually, I've been a forum staffer on various sites since 1993, so I was just doing what needs to be done to keep things uncluttered. 'Course, I clutter it all up again by talking too much sometimes.
I'm pretty much lost here. Although I understand some of what you are trying to explain, I'm not sure I "get it." I think the main problem is not knowing what the maindomain htaccess file gets, as opposed to the domain folders. I'm guessing there may not be any harm in posting my actual htaccess files.
Here is the htaccess file in my server's public_html folder (enterprisejm.net):
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^enterprisejm\\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://enterprisejm.net%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^1foot.enterprisejm.net$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.enterprisejm.net/1foot$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://1footinthegrave.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^linomaster.enterprisejm.net$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.enterprisejm.net/linomaster$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.linomaster.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# more of the same for each domain
This is the htaccess in the public_html/1foot folder:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^1footinthegrave\\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://1footinthegrave.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
And here's the public_html/linomaster folder:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\\.linomaster\\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.linomaster.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
I'm plenty confused about the (.*) atom because of what you said in your tut and now what you said here in this thread. What you see in the root domain that redirects all the folders to domains is something I had in an old file. I plugged it in just today and it does what I want it to. But that may be just on the surface. I might have some loop thing goin' on that I don't know about - from what you said in your tut and confuses me still.
I tried to decipher what you said above and re-wrote the htaccess files in all the domain folders to what you see above. But then, there's that pesky (.*) again.
Got a headache, no hair left to pull...
Hi Jim!
Okay, I guessed at that but it was still a very nice thing to see (the [ noparse ] wrapper). Not many are aware of that so maybe more will pick-up on this (as well as the [ code ] wrapper which many still won't use).
There shouldn't be any harm in posting your domain but I'll alter those in case one of the mods wants you to go incognito.
There are a number of tasks you need to handle which depend on the request being made:
Strip www from maindomain.net.
Redirect subdomain.maindomain.net to subdomain.com (retain the path/to/file? Yes, that would be kinder to your clients' visitors).
Handle CMS redirections within the subdomains.
If you handle task #1 first (the way you were doing it), you'll be stripping the subdomain information and will not be able to redirect to any subdomain.com.
Of course, you could match www\.maindomain\.net [NC] and redirect that to maindomain.net but you had chosen to strip them all. Pedantically, I addressed your code's introduced problem.
Task 3 should be handled within each subdomain's ({DOCUMENT_ROOT}) directory so that won't be handled by maindomain.net's .htaccess.
Options +FollowSymLinks
# You shouldn't need this as it should be in the server's conf file.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^1foot\\.enterprisejm\\.net$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.enterprisejm\\.net/1foot$
RewriteRule ^(1foot/)?([a-z.]*)$ http://1footinthegrave.com/$2 [R=301,L]
[indent]1. Don't forget to escape your dot characters to match just a dot character.
2. Don't forget that the domain name is NOT case sensitive but your regex matches are
... unless you use the No Case flag.
3. IF the 1foot subdirectory was requested, you do NOT want (.*) to match that,
too because it would be loopy. Using an optional 1foot/ should resolve that problem.
4. You are correct, I was being lazy (and wanted to capture everything in the {REQUEST_URI})
but it's a lot safer to correctly identify that you only want lowercase letters and dot characters
(you may want to add a / within the [...] brackets if your requests go deeper into the file structure)
and the * is correct as there may not have been a directory or file requested.[/indent]

# END WordPress
Ditto for the rest of your Addon Domains (cPanel's name for domains which are also subdomains of the maindomain within your account).
I hope I addressed the difference between the (.) and ([a-z./]+) above. The real disadvantage to the (.) is that newbies to regex will use it as a crutch to match whatever they want to match without recognizing the potential for loopy code. When someone comes here complaining that their code doesn't work (or loops), I look first for the (.*) everytime! Using specific characters or lists, e.g., (first|second|third), is a better way as the variable MUST match not any ridiculous string of letters but EXACTLY first OR second OR third. It makes for a good security check, too!
I hope that cleared away some of the confusion I introduced (with apologies, too).
Hmmm, I think I'm beginning to understand a bit more, but I have a few more questions. It's almost 3am here now though and it might be those questions will answer themselves if I get some sleep first. Or maybe not. I sure do appreciate your patience with me though. As many years as I have been working online, you'd think I'd know this stuff by now.
So many IT disciplines, so little time.
Talk atcha tamorrow.
Ain't that the truth!
See you tomorrow ... just don't wake me up early!
Hi David,
Sorry I didn't reply back about this htaccess dilemma. I get all caught up in various projects - the last couple days it's been a dresser I'm trying to get repurposed before the weather turns bad. And because I have to suck o2 with the help of a machine, I don't always have the stamina to do all of the other little things in life most people take for granted. A few things get put off and some just don't get done.
So, another day with this problem sitting on the shelf staring me in the face. I'll try to organize my time better tomorrow (Saturday) so I can sit down with this htaccess code. Don't worry about me waking you too early. My alarm doesn't usually go off until 10am at the earliest. And I'm pretty slow to get rolling.
Me, too (10AM) but I'm 16 clock hours ahead of you (you're US/EDT, aren't you?) so that's my 2AM and I've just going to sleep.
No worries, too many years of hanging about here answering the odd questions and I'm not always available on a daily basis (although I try).
Pacific time zone. I live in the real Northern California.
For several years now, all new domains I create are www-less, but a few I've had for a long time do use www. My main domain is sans www. I'm not sure of the consequences of switching the older ones to www-less, so I've left them with.
And at the same time, redirect maindomain.net/subdomain/ to subdomain.com, right? This seems to be that part that has caused me the most trouble (until I discovered from your tut that it wasn't my only trouble).
More than just the CMS' (Content Management System for those who don't recognize the acronym). Other website scripts and software should have their redirects and rewrites in the subdomain folder and sometimes in the subdomain's subfolders.
Options +FollowSymLinks # You shouldn't need this as it should be in the server's conf file.
I was a little confused by this and am glad I can remove that from all my htaccess files.
Don't forget to escape your dot characters to match just a dot character.
Another bit of confusion: I understand why it's important to escape the dot characters, but notice they are not escaped in the RewriteRule. So, only in the RewriteCond they get escaped?
Don't forget that the domain name is NOT case sensitive but your regex matches are ... unless you use the No Case flag.
Regex is like a whole 'nother language to me and I have never been able to figure it out. But when it's spelled out, or I have examples, I can deal with it. In the case of case on websites, I don't use anything but lower case, numbers, dashes and underscores. But I do have to contend with members of the forums I manage who upload files with spaces and a few odd characters once in a while. Ya just cain't teach these kids NUTHIN'!
IF the 1foot subdirectory was requested, you do NOT want (.*) to match that, too because it would be loopy. Using an optional 1foot/ should resolve that problem.
I'm pretty clear on this, but I got confused when I saw you use (.*) elsewhere.
You are correct, I was being lazy (and wanted to capture everything in the {REQUEST_URI}) but it's a lot safer to correctly identify that you only want lowercase letters and dot characters (you may want to add a / within the [...] brackets if your requests go deeper into the file structure) and the * is correct as there may not have been a directory or file requested.
Bold part: You mean like [a-z./]? I'm a little confused about that.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^enterprisejm\\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://enterprisejm.net%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
[indent]Right! NOW it's time to strip any remaining subdomain from maindomain.net! Of course, all that should be left at this point is the www subdomain (or subdomains which don't exist).[/indent]
So that part goes at the end of the maindomain htaccess file and is correct as written?
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^1footinthegrave\\.com$ [NC]
# You escaped this one AND used the No Case Flag! What happened above?
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://1footinthegrave.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# You duplicated the {REQUEST_URI} variable with $1. Why bother?
I'm sure I wrote that before I moved to my current server and picked up the code from someone who I thought knew what they were doing. I recently found out otherwise, which is partly why I went in search of better information. But he did have part of it right, apparently.
You question about why I duplicated the {REQUEST_URI} variable with $1 leaves me scratching my head again. I don't know why. My thought now is maybe I should leave {REQUEST_URI} and $1 out, as in:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^1footinthegrave\\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://1footinthegrave.com/ [R=301,L]
But that causes all my browsers to say it can't find 1foot/enterprisejm.net when my hope was it would redirect to 1footinthegrave.com.
Some of the info is clearer and some is still confusing, but you don't have to apologize for that. I appreciate your long-standing efforts to teach so many of us the right way to do these things. I remember how I loved being the teacher of apprentices in my chosen profession before I had lung troubles. Most thought flooring was easy, but there are so many different variables, rules and conditions... pretty much like code, only with heavy lifting. I learned the most about being a teacher when some of my "lessons" confused the student. I miss it.
Hi Jim,
Whew! You wrote a tome!
NoCal, eh? I grew up in SoCal and worked in both LA and SD for quite a few years, too.
I prefer to use non-www'd domains but my cPanel enables the use of both (except with SSLs which I must force to www). IMHO, it makes no differrence EXCEPT to those who are not aware that the www isn't needed (computer neophytes who merely recognize that www is for a website address).
There are two different tasks there: Redirecting the subdomain. and redirecting the /subdomain. Except for the few times when you're sharing your maindomain's SSL (and want to leave the subdomain's scripts in the client's directories, not yours), yes, you'll want to do both. Sorry, I should have made that clear.
Yes, the Options directives should already be in the server's configuration file (so it does not need repeating on every request). Test it, though, to be sure before removing all instances of the Options +FollowSymLinks code. It's been so long now that I've actually forgotten the information I put in my signature's tutorial about configuring Apache but, if you're hosted, that's all be done for you.
The dot character serves two purposes and, thus, must be handled according to its use. In regular expressions, they are metacharacters, i.e., represent ANY character, unless they are escaped (with the \). The exception to this is when the dot character is found within a character range definition (denoted by [...] brackets) where it is simply the dot character. When you are using the dot character in creating a string to match (like adding .php to a {REQUEST_FILENAME}) in a RewriteCond OR in a RewriteRule's redirection, it's simply used as the dot character.
That seems like an awkward explanation so please ask if I've only caused more confusion.
There are some good "cheat sheets" out there on regex and I've attempted to explain much of it in my signature's tutorial. Give it a try and ask questions if you need clarification. If an old jet jock can understand it, I'm sure you can, too.
ARGH! Spaces in filenames, er, links are displayed as %20 and, to me, that's uglier than sin! I have to agree that "dem kidz" can't be taught (good programming technique) but have faith that they'll learn. Many have to learn it the hard way rather than take advantage of the bleeding we've done to learn this stuff but that's their choice.
Ah! (.) is a very useful tool. Unfortunately, "dem kidz" don't take the time to learn that EVERYTHING (or NOTHING) means exactly that! They get the match they want (because it will match EVERYTHING (or NOTHING)) including, more often than not, their redirection. Then they wonder why their code is looping. That kicked-off my series of Standard Rants! Back to (.), it's great to capture an entire URI or specific portion of a URI but you do need to be sure that (1) the redirection isn't loopy, (2) that any loop generated has a RewriteCond which will allow an exit from the loop and (3) that there are no security issues with the redirection (../../../home/etc/pswords - okay substitute the correct name of the password file, I don't have time to go look it up as I should).
Correct, the ([a-z./]+) will capture a path/to/file.ext and would suite your naming convention (and mine) better than (.*).
Without looking back into the depths of this message (from the Advanced reply page), yes, the code provided as just amended would do the trick for you.
I was being pedantic with the creation of $1 rather than simply .? and using the already available {REQUEST_URI} string. Six of one and half dozen of the other so it's simply coding technique (and eliminating a ridiculously minor burden of asking Apache to duplicate a variable for you).

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^1footinthegrave\\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://1footinthegrave.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# is the same as
RewriteRule .? http://1footinthegrave.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# which uses the already available {REQUEST_URI} string rather than creating and using $1
The gray part of the code will force any request made through that .htaccess file to be redirected to http://1footinthegrave.com (using the requested URI). It should NEVER redirect to 1foot/enterprisejm.net (in fact, if 1foot requests are delivered to this .htaccess, it will redirect that, too!).
Jim, they say that those who can, do, those who can't, teach. I learned a LOT by being an instructor pilot (and instructors' instructor pilot). Ditto my coming into the Apache forum years ago to ask a simple mod_rewrite question and becoming an expert by subbing for the expert while he went on vacation and being forced to answer questions members had that I'd never even considered. I did get a few things wrong over the years but attempted to correct them ASAP as I rethought and discovered new aspects of this fabulous tool.
I'm gonna keep this very short this time because I promised myself many years ago to never work on my birthday. I mostly failed at that because of greed or some other foolish reason. But I am nearly 3 years past my so-called expiration date and birthdays have extra special meaning to me now.
Anyway, I wanted to say thanks very much for being patient with me while I learned and made some mistakes. You are a real asset to SitePoint and to fledgling webmasters like me.
Best R'gards to you and yours,
I hope you had a very happy birthday! :hbday: :Partier:
I know the feeling but with a 24 Dec birthday, I've NEVER worked on my birthday!
Thank you for the encouraging and kind words about my contributions here.

The Senate Agriculture Committee Tuesday approved nominees for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Nominees for commissioner include Timothy Massad of Connecticut, who also would serve as chairman; Sharon Bowen of New York; and J. Christopher Giancarlo of New Jersey. Committee Ranking Member Thad Cochran, R-Miss., said he supports Giancarlo's confirmation because of his knowledge of swaps markets but expressed concern with his and Bowen's lack of experience in agriculture and futures markets. Committee member Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., expressed opposition to Bowen's nomination because of his lack of agriculture experience. Committee member John Hoeven, R-N.D., said he wants all of the nominees to learn more about agriculture before serving on the CFTC. The three nominees now are ready for consideration by the full Senate. Click here to watch the hearing.
In related news, the House Agriculture Committee Wednesday passed H.R. 4413, "To reauthorize the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to better protect futures customers, to provide end users with market certainty, to make basic reforms to ensure transparency and accountability at the Commission, to help farmers, ranchers, and end users manage risks to help keep consumer costs low, and for other purposes."
The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) was instrumental in getting included in that bill language that would further prevent comingling of customer funds, which was the key issue in the MF Global disaster. NPPC also worked closely with other agricultural organizations to prevent language that would have required producers to "pre-fund" margin call accounts. NPPC was supportive of the House Agriculture Committee-passed bill.

The UN's World Food Programme is running out of money to feed Syrians – both within the crisis-hit country and outside, in refugee camps where more than 1 million people have fled over the past two years. Javier Blas, the FT's Commodities editor, has the full story.
The World blog spoke to Matthew Hollingworth, the Damascus-based officer in charge of WFP's Syria operation, about the practicalities of getting food to people in a war zone.
Q: What kind of food do you provide?
A: When we deliver food to people we're delivering them a family ration or parcel – a box of food. The idea is that each box has enough food to support a family of five for a whole month. The rations are very simple, non-luxury goods – rice, pasta, bulgur wheat, canned beans, lentils, sugar, salt and vegetable oil. The reason we give them some canned goods is because it's easier for them to cook and eat those things if they have a problem receiving fuel. Next month we're adding wheat flour to the basket because there's a recognition that access to bread is becoming a problem.
Q: How do you transport the food boxes throughout Syria? Read more

If you're obsessed with New York Fashion Week, then you probably caught the Derek Lam show this past Sunday, September 9, 2012. His bold cuts, prints, and colors were complimented by the beauty of course. It was all courtesy of Estee Lauder for the sixth consecutive season.
15 makeup artists where led by Estée Lauder's Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux. They created a fresh spring look on 30 models. Jin Soon Choi, a famous manicurist, and her team polished their nails with NEW Estée Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer in So Vain (launching March 2013).
Take a look below and then check out the Q&A with Tom Pecheux. I also have a list of all the products they used for this look!
QA with Tom Pecheux–Backstage at the Derek Lam Spring 2013 Show
How would you describe the make-up look for this show?
Very feminine, very elegant, but very discreet. It's very pastel, I will call it, "aqua color". You discover the subtle color, the subtle shimmer, little by little. It's a make-up for a woman who is very self confident, who likes to be made up, who likes to be sophisticated, who is playful, but also who likes to be discreet.
How did the clothing influence the look?
When you are a makeup artist and you work for a fashion show, of course you work with a designer, the most important things are the clothes, but at the end it's women who are wearing the clothes, so the overall look is important. Clothes, hair, make-up, accessories and since for this season the collection is very luxurious and colorful, it was important to keep the makeup in the same mood but in a very subtle and gentle way. I didn't want the woman to become too colorful, too playful, too much. We like elegance, we don't like to "show off."
Would you say it's an understated look?
The look is pretty minimal. What you see looks minimal, but the work is not and that's because we work on every part of the face. The only thing we didn't use, which most women do, is mascara. Everything else is there. Skin care, foundation, concealer, lipstick, shimmer, contour, eyebrow, eye-shadow – so the result looks minimal, but the work is not.
How long have you been working with Derek?
For about 10 years.
What is it like to work with him?
It is getting better and better because we have become good friends outside of work. We know each other and we understand each other, and he makes it very easy. You know when you are close to people, you can speak truly: "I like, I don't like, I think it's not quite there yet". When you like people, you want to please the people you work with and we are both very happy to work together. And of course, if I can help Derek in any way to make his woman more beautiful and to complete his collection I am thrilled to be there.
So there is a lot of trust?
How does it work with Derek? How much direction does he tend to give you?
Derek always appears very serene. He is very quiet. So he delivers alot without talking a lot. The words he chooses are always very sharp and very neat. Also his collection is very sharp and very neat. When clothes say a lot, the designer does not have to say a lot. He generally doesn't tell me anything specific, more like a mood, the type of woman he would like to see on the runway. We communicate very well because we know each other very well. That is the beauty of working with somebody that you trust and that you know, but who still every time surprises you. Every collection with Derek is a surprise – the fabrics he uses, the way he shapes them and the woman he creates. He reinvents himself every season, but at the end it's a Derek Lam woman. Even if the collections are different each season.
Can you talk about the different products you were using?
I'm using a few products that I really like. I am using three products on the eyes, and I am using those two products on the lips. They are new products called shadow paints. They are creamy, and they dry on your eyelid, so they are very stable afterwards. And why do I use eyeshadow on the lips? Because basically it's a creamy eyeshadow, and lipstick is a creamy product, so, the texture is very similar. Except that lipstick doesn't dry. This dries on the lips so it is very stable. And I used to cook, and I love to cook, so I like to cook make-up. I know people who like to make some rules. I don't know if I necessarily like to break the rules, but I like to play with the rules.

We took a trip to Milwaukee for a fun getaway over the 4th of July holiday.The students went to SummerFest, a huge music festival on Lake Michigan, went to a Brewers game, and to the Jelly Belly factory. We topped off the drive back to Eau Claire with some fine cuisine and shopping at Cracker Barrel. And the narrative would not be complete without an account of Terrence and Bri's interesting trip to Taco Bell! Let's leave it at that….
The students probably did other stuff unknown to Professor Ankrom.
This is likely the last blog post for our group. In the remaining four days, we have to get the "deliverables" to supervisors, complete any remaining tasks and hand off projects that will be taken over by city and county staff after we leave.
The chemistry among the group has been quite good, socially and professionally. But I am pretty sure they are ready to return to family anf friends and dear old Wittenberg.

"Guilt and the Sponge"
Sounds like the title of a new TV sitcom.
That comes on right after "As The Wheel Turns".
I use a sponge when centering, opening up, and when making the first pull and usually the second pull. It is in my hand, not on the clay. After I have established a cylinder to my elbow I walk away from the cylinder for 30 min still allowing the wheel to move slowly. I return, and throw the rest of the pulls without water of any sort. I usually dampen any tools during shaping, so to cut the drag.
With students I explained that the less water, the more strength in the form. Use the sponge, but don't rely on it. In the beginning extra water helps with centering, and with opening up and pulling, but as you get more skilled cut back on the water to suit your style of working.
Dear Mark,
Thank you for your reply. I am making goblets right now. I will try your method. I like the idea of waiting 30 minutes with the wheel spinning. It will be interesting to see how this works. I do worry about my over reliance on the sponge. I can see I use it a bit too much. I do dampen my tools before they touch the surface of the clay. To ensure extra strength in the vessel in formation I also compress with an appropriate rib or similar tool. Know I will try your method tomorrow in making one piece goblets. They are tricky. They wobble. Your pulls and use of water have to be fairly precise and you have to compress the upper cup portion before you squeeze the stem. Squeezing the base again requires water to make the three point pull up. But this stem pull is only on my hands and not the sponge. So, like others, I am paying close attention to what I am doing with the sponge. I do agree, the less water you apply, the more strength in the form as you alter. Thank you for your response.

Holden Lewis is on vacation. States such as Michigan, Arizona and Florida that have been hard hit by unemployment and foreclosures are introducing new programs to help homeowners who can't manage their mortgage payments. The federally funded programs offer new help to homeowners who may have been disappointed by other federal government assistance programs.

Disposable Flasks
"Stop carrying bulky metal flasks and cumbersome containers. Disposable Flasks are the most convenient and inexpensive way to transport your favorite spirit or other liquids. Our flasks fit comfortably in your pocket or jacket. The flask is durable, compact, collapsible and lightweight. It stands freely when filled, empties completely flat and freezes safely. Holds approx 7.5 fl. oz. or 5 shots." I received a sample during Mardi Gras and love the product. I didn't have to worry about losing my flask or carrying it around all day or night. They have been great for golfing and concerts. Check them out!
Milk is my favorite beverage next to alcohol. So its the combination of my two favorites!! Genius!Added 9 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
This makes sneaking in alcohol to events even sneakier. I love it.
I hid this under my ball gown when I went to the prom. Boy was I popular, but it was hard to dance...
A round flask with a skull on the front. Please get this for me as a gift.
Perfect for the alcoholic on the go! No matter where you are, you can enjoy your dry martini!

During monthly meetings, issues such as hazardous materials, water quality, air quality, land use, noise, solid waste, ecological resources, deer management, visual pollution and light pollution are investigated. In addition, EQAC holds a public hearing each year to obtain citizen input on issues of environmental concern and submits an "Annual Report on the Environment" to the Board of Supervisors.
Students who are presently sophomores or juniors in good standing in Fairfax County schools, who are residents of Fairfax County or the towns of Clifton, Herndon or Vienna and who would be interested in serving as EQAC's student member in the upcoming school year should apply. Home-schooled students are also encouraged to apply. Applications must be postmarked by May 9, 2003.
