Observing Representation
|Review Matrix Multiplication | Taxicabs | Student Work | Student Work Reflection #1 | Matrix Approach | Interpreting Matrices | Student Work Reflection #2 | Classroom Practice | Observe a Classroom | Your Journal
Mr. Karsky: This is good work. Now let's take this problem up one more level. What is the probability of starting downtown and being downtown after a third trip? Explain your method.
Dewane: So all we really need to do is multiply the matrix times itself three times for three passengers or trips.
Mr. Karsky: How will we know what the answer is?
Jenny: Just use a calculator and multiply the matrix by itself three times, or to the third power, since each cab takes three fares. The answer about starting downtown and ending there again after three trips is in the middle, where the pickup downtown row crosses with the end downtown row. I tried it and got the same answer as the tree diagram, 0.309.
Mr. Karsky: How can you represent your method?
Louise: We can use the same original matrix, T, and find the solution matrix, S.
Mr. Karsky: What about these other numbers in matrix S?
Mr. Karsky: Nice work, everyone. Now let's discuss some connections between our matrix approach and the tree-diagram representation. Dewane, what do you think?
Dewane: Well, the initial values in the matrix were straight from the table of probabilities. The same numbers get multiplied and then added in both methods. Also, I noticed that the sum of any row was 1, just like the tree diagram. Probabilities have to add up to 1. It makes sense because in this problem, all the cabs starting from a location have to end up either in N, D, or S.
Anita: But the columns don't all add up to 1. I think that's because a column tells the probabilities of cabs ending up in places. They come from different groups of cabs, not from one whole group.
Susan: The same numbers are used in both ways of looking at it -- the tree diagram and the matrix -- and multiplied just the same.
Eric: But you don't see all the same in-between products in the matrix representation. They get added up automatically, and just the sum is written in the solution matrix.
Mr. Karsky: Wow, good observation. Now, to sum up what you've learned, for homework I'd like you to write about the benefits and drawbacks of each representation -- that is, the tree-diagram approach and the matrices approach -- and also what you think will happen if the number of trips we look at is 10, 20 or 100.

Ambrosia has once again teamed up with Introversion, the award-winning developer of the hit game Darwinia for its eagerly awaited third title DEFCON. DEFCON is a compelling online multiplayer strategy game based around the theme of global thermonuclear war. The game, inspired by the 1983 cult-classic WarGames, superbly evokes the tension, paranoia and suspicion surrounding the Cold War era.
The player assumes the role of a Commander hidden deep within an underground bunker, the mission being to successfully exterminate the enemy's civilian population while at the same time disabling the enemy's ability to retaliate. You'll need to form fast, tactical alliances - alliances that may at any moment break-down to become treacherous and very deadly betrayals.
Play against the computer, or even better, compete online against fellow Mac or Windows players for total world domination. Cleanse the world of Windows users by battling them online!
Start by launching battleships, subs, and bombers in order to decimate your opponent's defenses. Scramble together your alliances, but remember, only one can stand victorious. Do you have what it takes to outsmart your opponent? Can you handle the pressure of global thermonuclear war? Remember - nobody wins. But maybe - just maybe - you can lose the least.
As they say, all's fair in love and war, and when it comes to thermonuclear war, well, all bets are off. DEFCON is a remarkably enjoyable game.
Intel or PowerPC G4 or better, Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later
We know you like DEFCON, tell your friends on Facebook you like it too!

10 Free WordPress Themes Based on the Foundation Framework
At the beginning of this year there were just a handful of WordPress themes available for Zurb's Foundation framework. Most of these were basic starter themes for developers. As we near the end of 2013, Foundation is rapidly becoming more popular with front-end developers and the demand for WordPress themes (more…)

I posted a similar thread about 6-7 years ago on here (when I was pure, accepting and tolerant). It went on receive numerous replies, tapping into many people's favourite 2nd passion.
As my brain cells dwindle, abused by wotsits, crème de month and curly wurlys, I cant for the life of me remember the moody old git who suggested them. but suggest them he did. I recall he said he'd seen them live (CCR).
So I googled/YouTube'd and eventually became hooked. Their catalogue is phenomenal.
I'm forever grateful to him for "virtually" introducing me to them. Whoever he was.

Youtube: Cold Chisel - When The War Is Over (Official Video) Pure class. If you don't know about this Australian band, no sweat. Ian Moss the singer/guitarist isn't even the lead singer. Steve Prestwich the drummer, sitting down with the 'shaker' wrote this. Steve very sadly died early 2011. The greatest drummer in my opinion and I've heard and played with a few. Check out a very young Steve Prestwich on Cold Chisel 'Forever Now' Okay, so he's playing a table in the video...

Yeah I think you'd like them, some/most of the songs are just brilliant. When The War Is Over (studio) Khe Sanh, Forever Now, Flame Trees, Choir Girl, Bow River, Ita, Four Walls Cheap Wine... It's endless. If you like guitar playing, Check out Youtube: Cold Chisel - Georgia (Official Video) Just wait for the solo, Mossy is just unbelievable and this country's airwaves never bothered with them. because they thought Australian bands were all about Men at Work Down Under, pathetic. Mossy's Strat sound not unlike the great Rory Gallagher.

I like this time of year.
With all the decorations, Christmas light displays, and cold weather touching my cheeks, all together it brings a smile to my face. I get to wear my winter boots, hat, scarf, gloves, and a warm jacket. Walking to see decorated houses with the hubs and Bella is such a blessing. You hear laughing from people around you and all the wrapped gifts under the Christmas tree. How could you not love it, right?
This year I made Keith give me his wish list. I swear finding a perfect gift for him is more challenging than taking the GMAT test. He doesn't tell you anything. Even his own mother is facing a challenging time. Every time I ask, he only says, "I don't know. I don't want anything". You have to think strategically and logically to find out. He wants something like a new car and such - which is impossible - and I thought to myself "kick my ass".
When he gets a gift and he likes it, he will say something like "Oh, I wanted this". Then, why didn't you tell us? Sigh. Men.
Anyway leaving that story aside, although it's cold outside, walking into a warm cozy home can change your mood. By that I mean, happy. The smell of food or baking fills the house. Ummm...yeah...
I found this dinner roll recipe in a Cooking Light magazine. It looks easy and delicious. So I gave it a try. I actually made it twice. The first batch, I made the rolls smaller size by half to make a mini burger for catering. The second batch is for us and friends. They turn out great except that the second batch I left them in the oven with the heat off and they were sort of a little overbaked. However, all that matters is the taste right? hehe. These rolls are perfect for Christmas dinner too.
|First batch for mini burgers
Yield: 18 rolls
2 tbs sugar
1 tbs honey
1 package dry yeast
3 tbs butter, melted and divided
1 tsp salt
3 cups AP flour
1 tbs olive oil
2 tbs toasted black sesame seeds (optional)
- Combine buttermilk, sugar, honey in a bowl. Sprinkle yeast over milk mixture and let stand about 3-5 mins until it's "foamy".
- Stir in 2 tbs of butter and salt. Add flour to the wet mixture. Beat at low speed. If you have a stand mixer, change the hook to dough hook and beat it at low speed. If you have a hand mixer like I do, it's okay to use the beaters that come with it. Beat it at low speed until it's formed an elastic dough and doesn't have a mixture left on the side.
- Dough will be sticky and elastic. In another bowl, coat it with olive oil; swirl to coat. Place dough in the bowl; turning to coat top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature or in the oven with the heat off for 1 hr, or until doubled in size.
- Punch the dough down on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough to your preferred size. The recipe calls for 13 balls but I did 18 balls.
- Form the cut dough into a ball one at a time. Let it rise more for another 1 hr.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Sprinkle black sesame seeds on top of each ball. Bake for 20 mins or until the rolls are golden. Remove rolls from pan; let cool on a wire rack.
|Served with peanut butter banana bread
3 tbs Pom juice
1 tbs caster sugar (this can be adjusted depending on your preferred sweetness)
1 banana
Cereal or oatrolls
Dried fruit such as cranberries or raisins
Toasted almonds
White chocolate powder
|Arrange banana slices in a glass or bowl.
- Whisk yogurt, sugar, and pomegranate juice until the sugar is dissolved and combined.
- Peel and slice banana. Arrange them in a prepared bowl or glass. Pour yogurt on top. Add cereals or oat rolls, and more yogurt. Add dried fruit and more yogurt. Top with almonds and chocolate powder.
|I'm ready to start the day

This is a real game-changer for the users of the Social Media platform.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg has decided to make a change to your News Feed will operate on Facebook - and it's to help curate your feed to see more of your friends and family.
As of right now, you may be missing a lot of friends posts because of the prioritization of brands and publishers, but CNET says that statues are going to begin to rank higher, and is going to change "the soul of Facebook."
This is supposed to help us as Facebook users have more "meaningful" interactions and to make sure that Facebook isn't becoming a negative experience for users.
"We feel a responsibility to make sure our services aren't just fun to use, but also good for people's well-being," Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page. "I'm changing the goal I give our product teams from focusing on helping you find relevant content to helping you have more meaningful social interactions."
People may argue that too much of their social circles are already on Facebook, like your aunt who doesn't agree with your political stances, but hey, there's always unfollowing people and still remaining friends, or hiding certain status updates through filters.
See Mark's full statement below.
Do you think this will be a good change for Facebook? Or will it make you want to use it less?
Amy Cooper is one with the force and the force is with her.

Dear Jeanne and Leonard: I'm sick of picking up the tab for my son's girlfriend. "Bart" is in a serious relationship with a woman who, like him, has a good job (as good as mine), and neither has any debt. When I visited them recently, I paid for all of the meals we ate out together. While Bart always offered to pay, his girlfriend never once reached for her wallet. She seems completely comfortable with having someone else pick up the tab for her, and I fear that in my absence, my son always does. Please tell me how I can ensure that, at least when the three of us are together, his girlfriend pays her share of the tab.
– T.C., Columbus, Ohio
Dear T.C.: So you're worried that your son's girlfriend views her wallet as just a cute accessory? We sympathize. But take heart, because you may have misread the situation. The fact is, girlfriends (and boyfriends) usually do what their significant other wants them to do when it comes to paying for restaurant meals with parents. So chances are Bart and his girlfriend had agreed in advance who was going to pay – or offer to pay – for those meals with you. In other words, the girlfriend's seeming indifference to the check when you ate together probably reflected a plan, not a character flaw.
Whatever the situation, though, you shouldn't try to insist that two grown-ups in a serious relationship each pay a portion of a check when they're out with others. But you should by all means stop treating Bart's girlfriend – and Bart – every time you go out together. Let your son with the good job pick up the check for his mother once in a while.
Dear Jeanne and Leonard: Every year I give $1,000 to each of my grandchildren who are in college to help with their expenses. Unfortunately, I've had some financial setbacks recently. While I want to treat all of my grandchildren fairly, if I keep this up – and, in particular, if I help the younger ones for as long as I've helped their older siblings – I'm going to be seriously financially strapped. What should I do? So you know, while my checks certainly have been appreciated, the kids' educations do not depend on them.
– Fred, Arkansas
Dear Fred: What you should do is stop giving money to your grandchildren. Instead, write to each of them, explaining that while it's been your pleasure to help them in the past, you can no longer afford to do so. And don't be concerned that some of them will have received more from you than others. Your first responsibility is your own financial security. There's no reason why you should jeopardize it – or do without – in order to help pay expenses that your grandchildren and their parents can cover themselves.
Dear Jeanne and Leonard: I'm constantly being invited to weddings, and each invitation prominently displays a list of stores where the couple is registered. Many of these couples have been married before, and the bride and groom often are living together in a fully furnished home. Yet their registries are packed with expensive items. I'm disgusted. My friends say a wedding is a joyous event that should be recognized with a nice gift, no matter what the circumstances of the bride and groom. But do I really have to buy pricey presents for couples like this?
– Shawna G.
Dear Shawna: Only if you feel like it. But since you apparently don't, go off-registry and buy these brides and grooms something thoughtful but less expensive. And point out to your overly romantic friends that already-comfortable couples who fill their registries with expensive items aren't being celebratory, they're being greedy.

Best Sun Tanner Ever from Overland Park, KS Verified Purchaser
I love this sun tanner. It's great to mix with the lotion of your choice. It has a bronzer in it as well as a tanner, so you can see where it is and isn't as you're applying it. It's very dark, so it lasts a long time, too. Review posted 10/10/2012.
5 out of 5
I probably will by again but may not use too regularly as I dread the horrific mess it makes, and if I can get a larger size in a pump I would prefer that as when you get to the end of the bottle it dispenses in bigger blobs, thus wasting product. Since the color and evenness, along with the price, are so good, I certainly recommend it and I am sure I'll use it again. 2/15/2012

Very natural looking tan. from Toronto, ON Verified Purchaser
The tan I got was very close to my natural color of a tan. Doesn't have the usual self-tanner scent - smells like almonds. I apply it every other day to maintain the color. Stains hands a lot even if you wash them immediately after and will stain your bedding as well (but washes away without a trace on white sheets). Palms of your hands return to normal color by the afternoon the next day. One bottle lasts for approximately 2-3 weeks with every other day application on a petite body. Review posted 6/16/2012.

Intel has announced a collaborative animation project to produce a computer-generated animated short film for theatrical release. The Mass Animation Project will be open to established and aspiring animators. Specifically, Intel is sponsoring the development and promotion of a Facebook Page where animators will be able access a collaboration application built on the Facebook Platform, and work together to create the animated short film. Starting this fall, artists around the world will be able to contribute by animating small pieces of a 5-minute, professional-quality animated short film. The start date will be announced soon.
The Mass Animation project will be produced and directed by industry veteran Yair Landau, former vice chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment and president of Sony Pictures Digital. "Mass Animation combines original computer-generated animated storytelling with social networking in a powerful, new way," Landau said. "With such partners as Intel, Autodesk, Reel FX Entertainment, Aniboom, and Facebook, we will reach so many talented animators who might not otherwise have access to this community of imagination and artistry. This project is the future of creative collaboration."
The tools that animators need to collaborate on this project will be provided. Participating animators will be able to download an evaluation version of Autodesk Maya Unlimited software to layout and animate sections of the script. Reel FX Entertainment animation studio will then use proprietary tools to convert the selected videos to final quality animation frames for posting and sharing on the Facebook page. Aniboom brings its experience in supporting a community of animators from more than 70 countries around the world and its content management infrastructure to help manage the community element of the project.

ETC > NSA Home > Language Arts 3-5 > Geometric Figures
Geometric Figures
Allow students to create a book of pictures they have taken with a digital camera geometrical figures in their environment.
- Students will identify two and three dimensional shapes and use appropriate geometric vocabulary to write a description of the figure by taking pictures of geometric figures in their own environment.
- Students will create an expository response in which ideas and details follow an organizational pattern and are relevant to the purpose by explaining why the item from their environment forms the requested geometric figure and creating a book to share their pictures and information.
- Review the geometric figures the students are asked to locate.
- Let the students know they will need to locate these figures in the classroom or on the school grounds.
- Send them out in pairs (photographer, spotter) and make sure they switch jobs.
- Print the pictures and have the students write to explain why they chose each shape and how it represents the geometric figures requested.
- Put the photos together as a book.
Sunshine State Standards
NETS Profiles for Technology Literate Students
- Discuss common uses of technology in daily life and the advantages and disadvantages those uses provide.Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, Web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom. Use technology resources (e.g., calculators, data collection probes, videos, educational software) for problem solving, self-directed learning, and extended learning activities.
- List of geometric figures for the students to find
- Digital Camera
- Computer
- Printer
- Display some of the geometric figures on your morning news and challenge other classes to find more of them at your school.
- Challenge your class to find as many different objects to represent each geometric figure and use the pictures to form a giant graph on a wall.

Cover for KARLSTAD Three-seat sofa
Event Raspberry Polyester designed by Gabriel A/S
About the product
Cover for IKEA KARLSTAD three-seat sofa - Event Raspberry. Red raises a room's energy level. It is a good choice when you want to stir up excitement, particularly at night. In the living room or dining room, red draws people together and stimulates conversation. In an entryway, it creates a strong first impression. Red has been shown to raise blood pressure, speed respiration and heart rate. It is usually considered too stimulating for bedrooms, but if you're only in the room after dark, you'll be seeing it mostly by lamplight, when the color will appear muted, rich, and elegant.

Thanks for the new sofa-cover. The colour and fabric match the sample perfectly, and the quality of manufacture and fit on the sofa are great. It really enhances the room. Many thanks.
Good Quality.

Would be a reasonable choice to make.
Great velvet material

The orange velvet cover fits our Karlstad sofa perfectly, and it feels soft and plush. I imagine the cover will wear well.
will definitely shop there again if I need a cover

the color was nice but it is more green than blue as it is described should be blue
Very Pleased
Verified Buyer
Rachel L.
Really more like a 4.25-4.5. The fit is just a hair off OEM quality. The zippers on some of the covers were a bit sticky. Color matched sample, and the sofa is both comfortable and supportive with the new covers. Definitely order samples in the colors of interest before ordering covers because Internet color repro accuracy is NOT reliable, even though US customers can expect to wait 8 weeks or so between ordering samples and receiving your covers in your final color choice.

Couldn't be more pleased. Fit is right on and really well made. Brown color a little lighter than I expected but still looks great.

RALEIGH, N.C. –Campbell University Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law Dean Melissa Essary has announced that the school will host a Legal Writing Institution (LWI) One-Day Workshop on Friday, Dec. 2 from 9 a.m. until 4:45 p.m. Panel discussions providing tips and best practices on teaching legal writing (persuasion, advocacy, and moot court), legal research, and instructional innovations will be led by experienced instructors from law schools at Campbell University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Dayton, University of South Carolina, Tulane University, North Carolina Central University, West Virginia University, and Wake Forest University.
"Campbell Law is honored to host one of the 2011 LWI one-day workshops featuring such an excellent array of panels," said Dean Essary. "This day of collaboration will be an extremely valuable resource to all writing faculty, law librarians and adjunct professors, as well as those who are seeking to become legal writing professors."
In addition to the keynote address from Dean Melissa Essary, several professors and adjunct faculty from Campbell Law will be among the notable instructors for the workshop:
- Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Bryan Boyd and Adjunct professor Alexa Chew will serve as panelists for the topic: Persuasion, Advocacy and Moot Court from 10:40 a.m.-noon.
- Professor and Director of the Law Library Olivia Weeks will serve as panelist for the Hot Topics in Legal Research discussion from 1:40 p.m.-3:00 p.m.
- Reference Librarian Stephen Chan will serve as panelist for the Innovations in Teaching Legal Research and Writing from 3:20 p.m.-4:40 p.m.
LWI One-Day Workshops are designed for new legal research and writing professors and adjuncts, but they can benefit all faculty involved in legal writing education, from seasoned legal writing educators looking for new ideas to those thinking about entering the legal writing academy as teachers.
For more information or to register for the event, visit http://lwionline.org/lwi-conferences.html.
Since its founding in 1976, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University has developed lawyers who possess moral conviction, social compassion and professional competence, and who view the law as a calling to serve others.

Campbell Law boasts more than 3,200 alumni, including 2,200 who reside and work in North Carolina. For 25 years, Campbell Law's record of success on the North Carolina Bar Exam has been unsurpassed by any other North Carolina law school.

It's easy to get seduced by the bells and whistles. Surely, features like "air cushioning" will make you faster, more fit, more agile, more something. Not so, says New York City podiatrist James Korponay, D.P.M. He believes all they contribute to is the price. Here are some other things to consider:
• If you have a high arch, look for a thick midsole (for extra cushioning); if you're flat-footed, go for a shoe that's firm around the heel (for more structure and stability).
- The shoe should be as wide as or slightly wider than your foot to ensure an even distribution of weight.
- You should be able to easily bend the shoe's forefront. This means it's a good, flexible shoe for walking.
Your Perfect Sole Mate
You could log the equivalent of a five-mile power walk trying to find walking shoes that fit your needs as well as your feet. To help you out, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute enlisted a team of walkers to road-test nine styles. After clocking a combined total of almost 96 hours, they evaluated each for fit, comfort, cushioning, quality, and style. Our top picks:
1. Brooks Sports — Defyance $90
What's to love: Everything — fit, support, comfort, cushioning.
Tester's take: "The cushioning was like shock absorbers."
2. Rykä — Moira $70
What's to love:All the things that matter — quality, support, comfort — as well as one that shouldn't, i.e., the cool gold-satin accents.
Tester's take:"They look more like shoes, less like sneakers."
3. Asics — Gel Kayano Walker 7 $100
What's to love:The cushioning, especially at the pressure points.
Tester's take:"They're lightweight, but they also provide plenty of support and comfort."
4. Saucony — Grid Instep RT $60
What's to love:The comfiness.
Tester's take:"I felt like I was wearing slippers."
5. Nike — Air Miler Walk+ $85
What's to love:The overall quality, and the roominess in the mesh-top toe box.
Tester's take:"Super lightweight — lots of ventilation."

I'm in the market for a new career - inspire me
In short, I have sold my PR business. From August I will officially be unemployed. Stretching before me is a blank canvas, just waiting for me to colour it with something exciting.
My challenge is, I don't know what that something is.
Here's my CV: I studied PR for three years. Then I studied small business management for 6 months. Then I studied marketing for another three years. I have worked in PR for about 18 years in South Africa, the USA and the UK. Frankly, I am over it. I need to do something new, I just have no idea what.
Several people have suggested I write a novel. I'd love to. But I really don't know if I have the talent and I'm battling to find a story. I don't want to be 'another writer'. Sure, I'd love to be JK Rowling or Stephanie Myer with multi-billion pound franchises. But I reckon that's what most novelists aspire to. Not many make it. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. Just a realist.
Then I look at my other interests and passions. I like to cook. I like to bake. I have always envisaged running a little tea room filled with girly pink bunting and decadent cakes. But the reality of that dream is working almost every hour in every day to make a pittance. I want to earn enough money to make the hours worthwhile. And I want to be able to see my children.
I like sailing and the outdoors, walking, treasure hunts, organising children's parties, using my imagination and being sociable. I wish I was better with my hands - making things. But I suck at that. I have lots of ideas for other people's businesses. And I've had a few ideas of my own. Nothing that sets my pants on fire enough to want to invest blood, sweat and tears into it.
And that's part of the problem. Having run my own business, I think I'd find it impossible to go work for someone else unless they were radically flexible about hours. So I think I'll have to run my own business but I also know what that means. When I set up my PR business, I had no idea that running your own business meant such long hours and a feeling that you could never turn work off. I know that if I set up another business, I will need to be really passionate about whatever it is so that I don't mind making those sacrifices.
I would also like to do something worthwhile, that makes a difference to people, rather than just trying to flog the next gadget. But I'm too much of a capitalist to work entirely selflessly for a charity. And the charity begging is almost as noisy to me as the PR and marketing 'Me Me Me' cacophony is.
Finally, I am tired of working alone. While I love working at home (hence the blog title), it does get lonely. It would be lovely to have someone to team up with, to share the highs and the lows. To take on the scary bits together. To brainstorm and be creative and think we can take on the world. But finding that person is hard.
So help me please. Inspire me. Throw suggestions at me. I welcome all ideas.
If nothing comes to me, I might just have to take some time out, put my feet up, gaze at my navel and be a kept woman. I can think of worse things....

I know it sounds a bit dippy-hippy but I believe that if you don't try to find the next big thing, something perfect will present itself.
Good luck.

I'm year 15 headhunter turned writer in my 'later years' - take a few deep breaths, stay quiet , the idea will come. I can't promise and believe me i don't do out there but worth a try xx

Ellen and Belgravia Wife - you're both saying the same thing to me. The universe is speaking. I shall sit back, breathe and wait for inspiration to hit. I hope it's not at 3am as that's normally when it strikes and it really messes up my sleep pattern. Thanks for your comments

Do you like being out in the fresh all day? Are you any good at gardening? If so, you could do gardening for people. I now know 4 or 5 people who've started doing "a bit of gardening for a couple of friends" and within 6 months have more work than they can handle. One now has his own landscaping company. Yep it can be lot of hours at this time of year. But you get to talk to people and see the results of what you do. It ain't brilliant money but it's adequate. Just a thought.

KCM - I would love to do that. Except I know NOTHING about gardening and tend to make plants die. But it's that kind of outdoor thing I'm quite keen on

Gosh. Congratulations on selling up. I think maybe a nice long summer break? Don't rush into anything. I had no idea what I would be doing when I came to the States, but finally a pretty well perfect job presented itself through pure serendipity. (It did take a year and a half, though).

What an enormously exciting time for you. When I moved to NZ and had 3 children I wondered what the hell I was going to do for work. At home in London I'd been a sports spread betting trader, a life which doesn't dovetail in the slightest with being a mum. Like you I've always had the 'write a book' fantasy but I have the same misgivings. I am now a freelance writer and write about a huge variety of things. I won't say it's making me rich but the money's ok and I absolutely love the work. You can do some stuff which makes a difference and other stuff which isn't quite as altruistic but is bloody interesting (and usually more lucrative). It's probably similar in some ways to your PR role and I'm sure your contacts and experience would be very helpful. Anyway, I'm gassing. Good luck with deciding and what fun!

- Iota said...
Set up a relocation agency. Help people research new lives and relocate. You'd be good at that.
Head-hunting? You probably have loads of contacts in the PR world. Could you be a specialist PR recruitment consultant? Perhaps not the best plan in a recession.
But I also agree with the comments that you will find the right thing if you are open.
- 22 June 2011 at 08:38
I think that you should become a type of 'agony aunt' for start ups. Help other people who are starting up to generate new ideas, go down new business lines etc. You're good at ideas...very good. So use it. You get to be with / speak to people every day, but you won't have the responsibility of the actual business. And as most start ups don't have cash to burn, you could negotiate shares instead, which could provide you with a cushy future!

Journalist? Editor? Social media expert?
I wouldn't turn my back to writing - apparently it's something you enjoy and you are good at it!

Fantastic news. I will have a think re careers. It will be good for me too. Need to find something by September when O goes to school and have come to many of the same conclusions as you.
Good luck.x
- 23 June 2011 at 07:43
I like Iota's idea--or something along those lines. You can draw on your extensive expat experience, collect a list of contacts from schools, movers, estate agents...etc just as you had a list of contacts as a PR.

thanks to everyone for your fab job suggestions. Those of you going to Cybermummy we can brainstorm further :-) And obviously I will update this blog once the brainwave hits me

Summer off, and a totally guilt-free one at that (as in you're properly off, not just playing at being off while keeping your BlackBerry plugged to your hand). Maybe you'll continue to enjoy being an, ahem, lady of leisure. Probably not, and I've no advice except to enjoy what must be the first all-about-you months you've probably had in years, if ever.

Hey, it's me again. I have had enough of Ace and his followers; and Fuzzy teaming up with them really gets on my nerves. I arrived at the location and instantly knew what they were planning. I turned around and shot a beam just as Ace shot ice. With my other hand, I summoned my mallet and swung it at the other villains. To my surprise, it grew in size and hit them all. Then I turned my attention back to my other enemy.
"I won't lose to you this time!" he shouted. I rolled my eyes and laughed.
2:30 am
I decided to talk since I don't sleep. My name is Haruko Matsumoto; and I am a daywalker. If you don't know what that is, it is a half human and half vampire. I have all of the vampire's strengths and none of their weaknesses, not even the thirst. What Kaoru doesn't know is that her dad's side of her family descends from a bunch of vampire slayers, I wonder why she doesn't know that. Well, anyway, I know that she didn't give you a full intro about me, so here it is. I have ember-yellow eyes, white hair with blue ends, and I wear fake glasses. My favorite color is purple...
I walked into the apartment with Miyako and Momoko. They were holding their sleeping bags, pajamas, tomorrow's clothes, and their backpack. We went into the kitchen. My mom was cooking dinner.
"Hey, mom! I brought Miyako and Momoko over for a sleepover." I told her.
"Ok, Kaoru, Miyako, and Momoko. Dinner will be ready in ten minutes." she replied. We said our thank-you's to her and went to my room. My friends set their things on my bed.
"So, what do you want to do?" I asked them. They shrugged their shoulders. My mom came in the room.
"Great, it's the lying teenagers!" the green eyed one said. I took a deep breath and opened my compact to contact the professor.
"Found them, Professor." I told him.
"Good job, Buttercup. May I see what they look like?" he replied. I turned my compact so the professor could get a good look at the girls. They gasped.
"What is that?" the red head asked. I rolled my eyes and nudged Bubbles to answer.
"It is a compact. Buttercup, Blossom, and I each have one to transform to our heroic selves." she explained. The boys laughed.
"Ok, I see Little Arturo, Big Billy, Ivy, and Grubber; but where is Ace?" Bubbles whispered to Blossom and I. Before we could react, ice hit us. I got so angry that the ice melted. I turned and attacked Ace with my hammer. He dodged, though. As I was about to attack again, a circle of energy formed. Out of it came three little girls that looked younger than Ken. They looked a lot like Bubbles, Blossom, and I.
"What just happened?" The green eyed one asked the red head. The red head just shrugged her shoulders while the blonde cried. I glared at Ace, but he looked just as confused...
I brought my mom home and introduced my friends to her. But that was the only thing that was interesting this weekend. Today is school, and I bet that everybody is going to talk about the attackers from the dance. I finished getting ready and said bye to my mom before leaving. On my way to school, Miyako met up with me.
"Hey Kaoru! How are you?" she asked.
"Ok." I answered. "You?"
"Great! Your mom is very nice." she said. Then it started to get a little cloudy. "I heard that it's going to rain today."
Today is the day I feared. I didn't tell Miyako, Minoru, Momoko, nor Makoto that Katsou and I had to go together. Good thing I sorta prepared for this, though. All I just have to do is say that everybody forced us to go together, but I said to them that we'd only go as friends. For some reason, I got a strange feeling whenever I thought about what happened on Monday. Well, to get back on track, it was last period, about two minutes till the bell was going to ring. I sat patently till it did, walked slowly to get home, and went to my room to get ready for the dance. After I was done, I was...
Today, we decorated the cafeteria with the decorations we made yesterday. Now my friends and I are at the park. We were playing frisbee when a flash of light appeared. When it was gone, we saw the time machine that the professor built, only it looked a few years older. When the door opened, we saw us.
"Hello people of the past! We are the PPGZ of the future." Blossom said. I looked at Momoko. She was wide eyed.
"How smart. Shouting so the whole world can hear ya! Man, might as well use a horn, why don't you?!" I shouted. Then the future PPGZ looked at us and smiled....
I woke up to find Chiyeko on my arm, sleeping. I kept my window open last night; which was a good thing. It was dark outside, so I didn't have to get up yet. After a half hour, Chiyeko woke up. "So, aren't you a sleepy spider!" I said.
"Morning, Kaoru. So, are you going to school today?" she asked.
"Yeah. Do you want to come with me today, Chiyeko? My class is preparing the decorations for the school dance today. I guess that you'd like to do something like that. Maybe you can meet my friends."

River Cruise - Western Europe
We traveled from Budapest to Amsterdam aboard the Viking Danube riverboat, stopping each day for a tour of a town or city along the way. We traveled on the Danube, Main and Rhine Rivers and the Main - Danube Canal and Rhine - Amsterdam Canal, passing through 68 locks along the way. Our journey took us to to five countries: Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands. I hope you enjoy my photographs of the trip.Read More

Theatre to present Agatha Christie mystery classic
Even after 50 years of performances, London residents keep turning out for The Mousetrap. Maybe that's why the play is the world's longest running and continues to be popular.
Area residents won't have to travel overseas to see the play that has garnered comments like "most skillfully written" and "cleverest mystery" from publications like the New York Times, London's Daily Telegraph and The Observer. Wayland Baptist University's Theatre will be offering the mystery as its fall offering, with performances Nov. 9-10 and 15-17 in Harral Studio Theatre on the Plainview campus.
Wanting to present a mystery play, WBU Theatre Director Dr. Marti Runnels said The Mousetrap was an easy pick.
"Agatha Christie is probably the best known murder mystery writer, not only because she's so great, but because many of her mysteries have been made into plays and films and everyone has seen them," Runnels said. "This is heralded as one of her greats."
The play is set in 1940s England in the winter, Runnels explained. The story involves a group of people who have come to stay at a manor - similar to today's bed and breakfast except with all meals provided - for a vacation. A murder in the manor, followed closely by a heavy snow, means the visitors and their hosts - a young couple new to the manor business - are now trapped in the house with a killer.
The cast for the Wayland production includes 2000 graduate, WBU theatre veteran and Plainview High School theatre arts teacher Lorraine Chavez in the role of Molly Ralston. Billy Boone, a freshman theatre major, plays Giles Ralston. Tisa Whitfill, a Plainview resident and Wayland student, plays Mrs. Boyle. Chris Moore, a junior theatre major who has already appeared in several WBU productions, plays Detective Trotter. His wife, Teresa, a 1994 WBU graduate and office manager for Wayland's admissions office, plays Miss Casewell. Randy Mitchell plays Major Metcalf, while Cory Norman, a senior theatre major, is Mr. Paravacini.
The performances will be at 8 p.m. on Nov. 9, 10, 15 and 16, and at 3 p.m. on Nov. 17, with house doors opening 30 minutes prior. Tickets are $7 for adults, $4 for Wayland alums, and $3 for students through college age.
For reservations or more information, contact the Box Office at 291-1089.

In the past few days, I went through the litany of how we could have detained, tried and stripped Anwar al-al-Awlaki of his citizenship, shipped him out of the country and then targeted him with a drone strike. I forgot the most important piece of knowledge about this man – that the FBI knew al-Awlaki had purchased airline tickets for three 9/11 hijackers in the July and August just before the 9-11-2001 attacks, – and the FBI knew it by September 27, 2001, just days after the attacks on America.
American-born Anwar al-Awlaki (aka al-Aulaqi) was killed in Yemen on September 20, 2011 by an American drone, and Attorney General Eric Holder is attempting to justify the administration violating the Fifth Amendment with the assassination of Awlaki and Samir Kahn. It took 10 years to get Awlaki, although there is little to prove we were trying to, until he ended up on Obama's Kill List. Sometime shortly after 9/11/01 (no one is revealing exactly when) Awlaki was invited to the Pentagon as part of a Muslim outreach program. Surely we didn't start a "Muslim outreach" program within 16 days of the September 11th attacks. No, most reports I've seen says al-Awlaki was invited to the Pentagon "just months after 9/11/01″ (or similar wording). Apparently, the FBI and the Pentagon didn't commune. I wonder if they do so today?
According to a September 27, 2001, FBI transcription, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State and Federal Bureau of Investigations (No. 1:12-cv-00893)), al-Aulaqi purchased airline tickets for the following 9/11 hijackers:
- Mohammed Atta, America West Airlines, 08/13/2001, for a flight from Washington, DC, to Las Vegas, Nevada, to Miami, Florida.
- S. Suqami, Southwest Airlines, 07/10/2001, for a flight from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to Orlando, Florida.
- Al-Sheri, National Airlines, 08/01/2001, for a flight from San Francisco, California, to Las Vegas, Nevada, to Miami, Florida.
The documents also include material showing that al-Aulaqi was uncooperative with FBI agents investigating the 9/11 attacks and was seemingly a central focus of the FBI investigation and monitoring related to 9/11.
In addition:
In addition to the arrests noted by the documents in 2006 and 2007, al-Aulaqi was detained and questioned at New York's JFK airport on October 10, 2002, under a warrant for passport fraud, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. However, the FBI ordered al-Aulaqi's release, even though the arrest warrant was still active at the time of his detention as reported by Fox News Channel's Catherine Herridge. Once released al-Aulaqi then took a flight to Washington, DC, and eventually returned to Yemen.
Visit Judicial Watch for the information quoted above.
Al-Awlaki's invitation to dine at the Pentagon (Fox News through FOIA request):
The documents show that more than 70 people were copied on the invitation, which originated in the Defense Department's Office of the General Counsel. It is home to the Pentagon's top lawyer.
"I have reserved one of the executive dining rooms for February 5th, which is the date he (Awlaki) preferred," a defense department lawyer wrote in the e-mail announcing the event.
"He (Awlaki) will be leaving for an extensive period of time on February 11th."
The e-mail states that New Mexico born al-Awlaki was the featured guest speaker on "Islam and Middle Eastern Politics and Culture."
The Defense Department lawyer who vetted the imam wrote that she "had the privilege of hearing one of Mr. Awlaki's presentations in November and was impressed by both the extent of his knowledge and by how he communicated that information and handled a hostile element in the audience."
But…he purchased airline tickets for three of the 9/11 hijackers, and the FBI knew it within 16 days of the attacks.
In 2002, al-Awlaki was the first "imam" to conduct a prayer service for the Congressional Muslim Staffer Association INSIDE THE U.S. CAPITOL and for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
But…he purchased airline tickets for three of the 9/11 hijackers, and the FBI knew it within 16 days of the attacks.
Note that we have so many Muslim staffers inside the offices of our Congressmen and Senators that they have their own "association," and when they gather, CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in the War on Terror, is invited.
Back then, at the time he was dining at the Pentagon, and praying in the Nation's capitol, al-Alwaki was considered a "moderate."
But…he purchased airline tickets for three of the 9/11 hijackers, and the FBI knew it within 16 days of the attacks.
In 2002, Ft. Hood jihadist, Nidal Hasan arranged for al-Awlaki to preside over funeral services for his mother. Hasan killed 14 on an American military base, shouting Allahu Akhbar, but it wasn't terrorism, it was "workplace violence."
Anwar al-Awlaki left the U.S. before the end of 2002, and we let him leave, but…he purchased airline tickets for three of the 9/11 hijackers, and we knew it within 16 days of the attacks.
Awlaki held dual citizenship in the U.S. and Yemen. He left the U.S. in
2009 2004. He could have been detained and tried. He could have been stripped of his citizenship. Samir Kahn a naturalized American who was killed in the same drone strike with Awlaki could have been denaturalized. Kahn was a well-known promoter of jihad against American. It wouldn't have difficult to relieve him of the citizenship of the country who schooled him.
At some point, our agencies must make things happen. Because they didn't, or because the Executive Branch did not (and I include the Bush administration) we have now started down the very ugly, slippery slope to killing Americans without due process. We have effectively killed the Fifth Amendment, and the Obama administration must understand that when they send Jay Carney to publicly give a White House press briefing saying everything done to Awlaki, his American born son and Samir Kahn was "done in a way that is consistent with our Constitution, and all applicable laws," we know those words are a bold and terrible lie.
How terrifying is it to know your government is in the beginning stages of disarming us, trashing the Second Amendment, while legalizing your death if they deem it appropriate? Thanks to Matt Ross at Conservative Hideout 2.0 who reminded me I wrote about Awlaki and the airline tickets in January but forgot to add this important information about him in current posts (read how to protect yourself from workplace violence).

Robin Williams' three children have broken their silence over their father's death.
The Oscar-winning star passed away on Monday after he hanged himself at his home in Marin County, California.
Since the news of his death, there has been an outpouring of tributes from fans, friends, and former co-stars, and on Tuesday, his three children finally opened up about their beloved father.
Williams' oldest son, 31-year-old Zachary, from his first marriage with Valerie Velardi, said in a statement:
"Yesterday, I lost my father and a best friend and the world got a little grayer. I will carry his heart with me every day. I would ask those that loved him to remember him by being as gentle, kind, and generous as he would be. Seek to bring joy to the world as he sought."
The comedian's other two children with second wife Marsha Garces also released statements about their father, with Cody, 23, saying:
"There are no words strong enough to describe the love and respect I have for my father. The world will never be the same without him. I will miss him and take him with me everywhere I go for the rest of my life, and will look forward, forever, to the moment when I get to see him again."
His older sister Zelda, 25, added:
"My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that's gone, and I feel stripped bare. My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments.
"While I'll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there's minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn't help the pain, but at least it's a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that.
"To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you've had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too…
"Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I've ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. We'll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again."
Zelda also took to Twitter to thank fans for making donations to the St. Jude's Children's Hospital in memory of their dad, and wrote, "Thank you to all those donating to @StJude in memory of my father. I'm overwhelmed. The charity meant the world to him, as it does to me. Knowing that so many children will be helped in his honor is all I could've asked for. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you."

Ex-wife Garces also shared her sorrow, and said, "My heart is split wide open and scattered over the planet with all of you. Please remember the gentle, loving, generous – and yes, brilliant and funny – man that was Robin Williams. My arms are wrapped around our children as we attempt to grapple with celebrating the man we love, while dealing with this immeasurable loss."

Employers added 235,000 jobs in February as mild weather and increased business confidence spurred strong hiring for a second straight month, almost certainly cementing a Federal Reserve rate hike next week.
The unemployment rate, which is calculated from a different survey, fell to 4.7% from 4.8%, the Labor Department said Friday, as a large increase in the labor force -- the number of Americans working or looking for jobs -- was more than offset by an even bigger rise in employment
Economists had forecast 190,000 job gains, according to the median estimate of a Bloomberg survey.
Average hourly wages rose 6 cents to $26.09, nudging annual gains back near a seven-year high at 2.8% from 2.5%. Pay increases unexpectedly slowed in January despite minimum wage hikes by 19 states, and many economists predicted the higher base pays and tight market would spur a rebound in February. Pay gains are expected to accelerate as the low unemployment rate forces employers to bid up to attract a smaller pool of workers.
Businesses added 227,000 jobs. Federal, state and local governments added 8,000.
Job gains for December and January were revised up by 9,000. December's was revised to 157,000 from 155,000, and January's to 238,000 from 227,000.
Many analysts expected a healthy showing, noting that mild winter weather likely boosted hiring, particularly in sectors such as construction. Other labor market indicators for February seemed to bolster that view. Payroll processor ADP said businesses added 298,000 jobs. Jobless claims have hovered near 40-year lows. And a measure of service-sector employment hit a five-month high. .
At the same time, Goldman Sachs estimated that a federal hiring freeze would reduce government employment gains by 10,000 to 15,000.
Before the report was released, economists said it would take an unusually weak payroll tally to convince Federal Reserve policymakers to put off a rate hike next week that they've signaled is all but certain. The Fed raised its benchmark rate in December for just the second time in the past decade, and central bank officials have forecast three rate increases this year to head off a surge in inflation in an improving economy.
The concern about rising prices can partly be traced to the tight labor market that's forcing faster paycheck gains. That should prompt employers to lift prices to maintain profits.But economists say the worker crunch is also likely to further slow average monthly payroll gains, which fell to 180,000 last year from 226,000 in 2015.

Beverly Jeanne Badham Anderson, a radiant all-round Southern California bombshell, successful musical theater light opera singer and actress, and exceptional wife and mother of five children died April 28, at home. She was 81.
Anderson was born June 23, 1931 to Virginia Evelyn Dabney Badham and Edward Dick Badham in Los Angeles, Calif. and grew up in Hancock Park. She graduated from Marlborough School in 1949, and was a TickTocker in the National Charity League, and a Coronet Debutante in 1950. A soprano with a range of more than three octaves, her singing career was successful early on as a National Association of Singing Teachers finalist, a Music Teacher Association of California finalist (singing), and Hollywood Bowl Award winner (singing). Her talent was equally matched by her beauty. She won first place in the New Mexico Military Institute Bathing Beauty competition, was Miss Television for Los Angeles County (second place), and she placed third in the Balboa Beauty contest. She studied voice under Florence Russell in Los Angeles and Charles Hedley in Hollywood, and majored in voice at the University of Hawaii and the University of Southern California. At USC, she joined the Delta Gamma sorority, was a Kappa Sigma Dreamgirl, a Phi Sigma Kappa Moonlight Girl attendant, and a USC Homecoming Princess in 1951.
It was at USC that she set her sights on a far more important prize and won that too, marrying the love of her life, Paul Norman Anderson in 1952. They moved to West Covina, Calif. where she became president and treasurer of the Covina Civic Light Opera Association. They quickly started a family and in 1962 moved to Laguna Beach, Calif. with their five children. Her singing career was equally productive. Over the next 30 years she appeared on stage in more than 2,000 performances in light operas and musicals, performing with world-renowned stars such as Margie McKay and Chris Lacona and other members of New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco opera companies in "Carmen," with Jane Powell in "My Fair Lady," John Raitt in "Oklahoma," Tammy Grimes in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," Howard Keel in "Camelot," Hugh O'Brien in "Music Man," Connie Stevens in "Wizard of Oz," Betty Grable in "Guys and Dolls," Ann Southern in "Mame," Diane Keaton in "Sound Of Music," and so many more.
She performed most often at the Carousel Theater in West Covina, Calif., the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, Calif., Melodyland in Anaheim, Calif., Hotel Riviera in Las Vegas, Nev., and with the Hawaii Civic Light Opera Company. Anderson also appeared on television in such bygone shows as "Jukebox Jury," "Panorama Pacific," "Greet the People," "Dick Whittinghill Show," "Morning Breakfast Show," "Your Los Angeles County in Action," and "Backstage with NTG." In her spare time she was a regular soloist for Christian Science churches for 24 years in Corona del Mar, San Clemente and Laguna Beach. In 1971 she won the Two Thousand Women of Achievement award for her many accomplishments.
A devoted and hard-working mother who skillfully juggled her career and her passions, she could be found knitting sweaters for her family during downtime at rehearsals, sewing everything from kids' clothes and costumes to home decor items and various things such as historical flags for her husband's and sons' Boy Scout troop. In her off seasons she attended her children's sporting events and performances, and organized memorable family tent camping adventures throughout the California deserts and mountains where she prepared gourmet meals from their catch of the day. No matter where she was or what she was doing you would never catch her looking less than her glamorous best. Upon retirement from theater life, she continued as church soloist, played serious bridge with family and friends, and spent many hours working in the garden. She and her beloved husband travelled throughout the islands of the South Pacific, and took their children and grandchildren on several houseboat adventures enjoying the grandeur of Lake Powell. She took great pleasure in family activities, including being an ever-present active participant in the lives of her grandchildren who lived a block away in Three Arch Bay in Laguna Beach.
Anderson had Parkinson's disease for 24 years, and her husband retired and cared for her along with caregivers until his passing in 2011. She is survived by their four sons; Dale, Garrick, Norman, Kent, their daughter Teri AndersonSchoepe and their spouses, nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild; her sisters Marilyn Martin, Patricia Tilton, and Cheryl Donohoe. Anderson was laid to rest, joining her husband, on the occasion of their 61st wedding anniversary on May 2. The Celebration of her Extraordinary Life will be held Sunday, May 19, at 10a.m. at Pacific View Memorial Park Chapel, 3500 Pacific View Drive, Corona Del Mar, Calif.

Interview with Singapore fashion designer Ashburn Eng (young&restless)

Designer & Creative Direction / Ashburn Eng
Graphic Artist / Yong Yi ( www.yongyidesign.com )
Make-up and Hair / Chris Ruth (MUSE b'ART)
Model / Anastasia Kolganova ( Upfront Models )
For young&restless' Spring/Summer 2011 collection, Ashburn Eng's inspiration came about as he looked through the eyes of a Flying Squirrel moving through the route of constant escapism and gliding through the air of the cityscape. Follow his vision of the small creature with our exclusive Test Shoot Gallery interview!
By Luth Seah Zhiqiang
TSG: What does escapism mean to you?
To own a pair of wings which takes you wherever you want to go.
TSG: How do you describe your aesthetics that you apply to your designs?
I have always been intrigued by the amount of discomfort dedicated followers of fashion are willing to put up with. From tight corset dresses to painfully heighted heels, suffering in style remains in fashion. I go through a lot of thought processes and strongly believe in applying my core strengths to my designs and at the same time, I feel that the wearer should also play a vital role of putting the looks together.
TSG: Any individual/celebrity/socialite in your mind that will suit "The Flying Squirrel" collection perfectly?
Locally, it will have to be Zhou Ying and Rebecca Lim. Internationally, I would think of Angela Zhang, Li Bing Bing and Zhou Xun.
TSG: Despite the construction (based on basic shapes) of the pieces in the collection, you were able to visualise the draping results when worn on the body even during the initial stage of the production. Is "visualizing the result" a recurring skill that you equip yourself with every time you style/design/creative direct in your works? How well Did it help you?
It definitely makes the production process (e.g. drafting pattern and sewing up the samples) much easier if you clearly understand the subject you are working on dimensionally. It also helps to avoid unnecessary wastage of materials, money and time.
TSG: Does freedom always mean happiness?
Yes and No. Being chained and bonded can mean pleasure to some people as well.
TSG: Does timeless always mean banality?
Something so beautiful, important, so revolutionary, so life changing, so inspirational, so true, so meaningful that it transcends the confinement of time.
TSG: Does trendy always mean unoriginality?
There is always a chance that seasonal musing can become timeless in the future.
TSG: Does fashion-forward always mean excitement?
Fashion-forward is more like guilty pleasure.
TSG: Has empowering the wearer of your works an all-time goal for you? Why?
Power dressing is not always necessary. I like the idea of the wearer being able to fantasise themselves on escapism, like a non-earth bound creature with a desire to escape from reality.
TSG: If not in fashion, where will you most probably be now?
I would have been an innovater. Like fashion, it provides an outlet for this endless pursuit of unconventionality.
