Ohio State recruiting: State Secrets, 2/5 - Dontre Wilson in, Vonn Bell next?
In case you missed it, Monday evening, the Ohio State football team added the 24th commitment to an already impressive 2013 recruiting class. Texas all-purpose back (and one time Oregon commit) Dontre Wilson (De Soto, Tx/De Soto), decided the Buckeyes were the right team for his services, in lieu of the Ducks and his home state Texas Longhorns.
For those keeping score at home, that gives Buckeyes star recruiter (and surely future head coach) offensive coordinator Tom Herman Wilson, 4-star LB Mike Mitchell, and 4-star QB J.T. Barrett. Not a bad little pipeline the Buckeyes have in the works from the Lone Star State. And for those wanting to know the immediate impact of adding the 4-star Wilson, the Buckeyes are now second in the 247Composite rankings, in a virtual dead heat with Florida for second in Rivals' team rankings, and second in the Scout.com team rankings. Not a bad night for Buckeye Nation at all.
Ensworth's Corn Elder says he won't sign this week
As college football begins its national signing period on Wednesday, one of the Midstate's top recruits won't be involved in the initial hoopla.
Ensworth running back Corn Elder — the No. 2 prospect on The Tennessean Dandy Dozen — said Monday he does not intend to sign immediately.
"I'm not going to make my decision on Wednesday," said Elder, who made an official visit to Georgia Tech over the weekend following a midweek visit to Auburn.
Elder said both schools have offered football scholarships with an opportunity to play basketball as well. Vanderbilt and UCLA have presented similar situations.
National Signing Day: Top story lines
Swamp thing
Despite a loss in the Sugar Bowl, Florida is coming off its best season since Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow left Gainesville. Head coach Will Muschamp and his staff have a pair of five-star commitments in Alex Anzalone and Vernon Hargreaves III to headline the class. They were able to flip Anzalone, Matt Rolin, Demarcus Robinson, and Jarrad Davis late in the process. They are still in good shape with four-stars Jaynard Bostwick and James Clark. The Gators will look to unseat the Tide for the No. 1 spot, but even if they don't reclaim the top spot it's a loaded class.
Can Tennessee close on Bell?
Tennessee has a done a nice job of entering the conversation for several big names over the last few weeks, but after missing out on Carl Lawson will the Vols be able to close on fellow five-star Vonn Bell? After Alabama looked like the school to beat, it's down to Tennessee and Ohio State, with Bell keeping his decision under wraps until signing day. If he were to stay close to home and choose Tennessee, it would be a great selling point to the class of 2014 and an excellent way for the new staff to close out its first cycle. If the Buckeyes land Bell, it could be a preview of things to come with Urban Meyer & Co. making the Southeast a priority for the 2014 class.
Suitland WR Taivon Jacobs to decide between Ohio State, Maryland on National Signing Day
On the eve of National Signing Day, Suitland senior Taivon Jacobs, a two-time All-Met wide receiver, said in a phone interview he will decide between Ohio State and Maryland during a ceremony at his school on Wednesday at 10 a.m.
Jacobs orally committed to Ohio State in July, but he said he has been reconsidering that decision in recent weeks for a variety of factors, including his desire to be close to his one-year-old daughter, Bailey.
"I've discussed it over with my family," Jacobs said. "I want to make the best choice for me. I have a child. I want to make sure I'm a great father and a great player."
Jacobs had been mostly quiet publicly about his recruitment since picking Ohio State, but he said he has had extensive contact with coaches from both schools recently. On Tuesday morning, the 5-foot-11, 155-pound wide receiver/defensive back said he was truly undecided and would take the next 22 or so hours to make up his mind.
Ohio State recruiting: Taivon Jacobs reconsidering his commitment?
In a bit a shocker, 3-star athlete Taivon Jacobs is evidently reconsidering his commitment to Ohio State. Whether or not this is merely to build drama before a National Signing Day '13 commitment ceremony or not remains to be scene, but Jacobs hasn't hidden the fact that some extenuating circumstances have him reweighing his decision to spend the next four years in Columbus or not.
Ohio State recruiting: OSU, Missouri vie for Ezekiel Elliott
In a unique, behind the scenes glimpse into the first hand world of recruiting, the family of Ohio State commit 4-star St Louis, MO product running back Ezekiel Elliott shows us just what it was like for Elliott to visit both OSU and Missouri. Put together by Elliott's father, we're able to vicariously take a guided tour through the facilities in both Columbus and Columbia.
The incredible story of Ohio State recruit Mike Mitchell and his unusual path to football stardom
It's hard to imagine that in the football-crazed world we live in- where college football recruiting is tracked on the internet 365 days a year and followed by millions annually- that any player could fly under the radar, or struggle to get the attention of his peers and recruiting experts alike. Especially when that player is in every recruiting service's consensus Top 30 nationally.
Then again, there is nothing normal about Ohio State football commit and U.S. Army All-American Mike Mitchell. Not in the family he came from, or his path to being labeled as one of the top outside linebackers in the high school class of 2013.
For New Smyrna receiver James Clark, taking his time has paid off
Some might consider James Clark's recruiting strategy to have been mighty risky.
For Clark, however, putting off most of the entire recruiting process until after his senior season has paid huge dividends.
This morning the New Smyrna Beach slot receiver will put on the hat representing the college for which he has chosen to play the next four years. He has had an impressive array of suitors in the past month. Urban Meyer and Will Muschamp have wiped their feet at his door. Coaches from college football's elite schools have come calling.

Do you know what "supplement" mean? It means something that is added to a complete thing either to supply a deficiency or to reinforce the whole thing. With this information, we can explain what body best building supplement is, and it goes thus; body building supplements are things or materials that aid in the development of the body organs and function of the body system.
There are so many body supplement such as protein powders, nitric oxide, and creatine. The next question we ask ourselves is this: "is it possible to have a best body building supplement?" As we all know, there are so many body building supplements, and for us to decide which one is the best is very complicated

Graduation photo :)
teenage girl living in japan, oh yeah
Yes, well, you've probably guessed by now that they have English classes at my school. And, yes, I have to participate in them.
OK well it is SOOOOOOOO ridiculously boring. It is just so degrading having to repeat the alphabet three times a week. I almost fall asleep I'm so bored. And you know what? The good old Japanese "no-expections" motto ensures I have to endure every single class. It SUCKSSS real bad.
Ah, well. This is part of the whole experience, right……right?
Even worse, I have to do all the homework! Which is a lot! AKA writing out letters! And words! Like "you"!!! And about 20 pages' worth, too.
You know what? I'm going to REFUSE. Yes, that's right my young ones an oldies, I shall outright refuse. Muahhahahahaha I can't wait. :p That probably won't go down too well, but really. This is ridiculous!
So, in conclusion, three 50-minute periods a week my brain is beingf tortured. AND I have the official World's Worst Homework. This is where I need YOU trusty readers to help me out.
Sunami Girl signing off
SG xxx lurv yas
Well, hello again. How are you all? I'm actually on a high note because I've had quite a lot of comments lately.
I'm awfully proud of myself.
Anyway, I probably should have posted this a while ago but yes, I graduated, again. I know, right? Amazing! Ripper! Tremendous! (Okay, the latter was slightly overboard on the whole by-golly-what-a-smashing-idea-Jimmy boat. Ah, well. You know, I've always wanted to live in the olden days…which reminds me, a year ago I thought in the 1900s people lived in caves. Bless the good old Aussie education system. Snort all you want, but I rather enjoyed the regular cinema excursions.)
On Tuesday, we travelled into Hiroshima to watch my very first live Japanese soccer game – Adelaide United versus Sanfrecce Hiroshima!!! Naturally, I was an Adelaide supporter, though it was a tough one seeing as I actually play for the youth girls' Sanfrecce team. But I didn't regret my decision as we were welcomed happily into the Adelaide supporters area of about…10 people, as well as about 20 or so boys of varying ages who were randomly cheering for Adelaide as well. It was still really nice though to talk Australian to real Australian people, something I've been kind of lacking lately – Skype just doesn't make the cut. Most of them would have travelled over here as a holiday-game double whammy. Anyway, it was really fun!!!
Another highlight was the misseling of 'United' on the massive electronic billboard. (The mistake was because they spelt it how it sounds.) Sorry about the sidewaysness, the Annoying Web Hoster makes it unchangeable. D:
Oh, and check out this Adelaide supporter's sign:

A Veritable International Harvest
Let's begin this essay with the Italian-derived word capriccio. We can see the words caprice and capricious in the word, but we would be wrong to think that capriccio meant 'guided by whim or fancy rather than judgment or settled purpose,' which is one of the definitions of capricious. In fact, capriccio means "a sudden sportive or fantastic motion; a prank, trick, caper." A secondary, but obsolete, meaning is "caprice" in our sense of whim. But think of capriccio as a sportive or jesting movement. It also denotes a musical composition in a free or irregular style. It was first applied to a quick-tempo fugue, but now is used much more broadly. Something capriccioso is in a "free, fantastic style."
The OED suggests that the origin is from the word capro (goat) and so is like "the skip or frisk of a goat." The frisk?? Ah, the modern American usage of the term frisk to mean a cursory body search is not the original meaning of the term. The word goes back to the 1520s and meant a "brisk and lively movement in horsemanship or dancing; a caracole or curvet." The word appears, of all places in Foxe's Book of Martrys: "He leapt, and set a frisk or twain, as men commonly do in dauncing."
Bogong is the much more frequent spelling of the name of this Australian moth (Agrostis infusa). The OED gives it a few other species names, and says that it is highly prized by Aborigines as an article of food. Here is an informative article on, with picture of, this pale to black moth. The bogong, like other moths, has four distinct wings, but this one has a distinctive darker arrow-shaped mark with a small spot in the middle of it on each of the wings. These breed in the flatland areas of Australia, but high-tail it to the mountain country to avoid the heat, a distance of about 1000 km. Some 20% of them die during the migration. They tend to fly near Canberra, the capital, when they migrate and often are blown off course. Thus, the capital can be infested/covered with these moths, which like to congregate in crevasses of buildings. They are called noctuid moths, which means that they travel by night. This web site says there is a carpet of dead moth bodies, 1.5 meters thick, on the floor of some Alpine caves, built up from thousands of generations. Now wouldn't that be quite a scene in an Indiana Jones movie?
This a native American term, actually a Canadian French word originally derived from the Algonquian. It is the "thongs or thread made of raw hide," especially for the webbing of the snowshoe. As the Saturday Evening Post said in 1948: "No screws or nails are used at the joints, but babiche instead--rawhide thongs." Make sure you distinguish this word from bobeche, which is a little candle surrounded by a paper or plastic lip, like those they hand out to the congregation at a Christmas Eve service.
When we enter the world of kalpaks we are in the realm of Kazakh and Kyrgyz traditional costumes. In fact a kalpak is a high-pointed cap with a divided turn-up. As this web site tells us, the hat is properly called the "Ak Kalpak" (white Kalpak). It is made from four panels of white felt with traditional patters stitched into them as decoration. Men of all ages wear it in Kyrgyzstan. It is the Kyrgyz "ball cap," but I much prefer it to a Mariners cap. In a region where hats give identity, the kalpak gives this identity. I was intrigued to learn that many male resident of the southern Kyrgyz enclave of Barak (in Uzbek territory) wear two hats; one is the kalpak, worn among their own people, but the other, worn when around the Uzbeks, is called a tjubiteka.
This article goes into more detail on the fantastically attractive hats of Central Asia. Whereas the kalpak is usually a sign of a higher-status person, another traditional men's headgear is the borik, a rounded warm cap, trimed with asktrakhan otter, marten or raccoon fur. In the winter, men also wear the tymak, a fur cap with three flaps. Well, the woman in the left photo of the linked article is wearing a saukele, the bridal headgear. Then, the article goes on to talk about the boots and garments; a veritable feast of words. Maybe next time I find myself in Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan I will have to visit the national museums and have a ball.
Anyone watching the Kids Bee this year got a chuckle when the eventual winner got the word numnah and, at first, thought that the pronouncer was saying "numbnut" or something similar. By the way, a numnah is a saddlecloth or saddle-pad. But, upon further thought, the numdah is really an earlier word to describe the same thing. However, if you find online pictures, the numdah is portrayed as an Indian rug though the first attestation of it in English (1819) had it as a saddlecloth: "A Kattee throws a nunda on his mare." You see how these words could be spelled many ways. This site says that numdah rugs are made of unspun wool or wool and cotton pressed and felted in specific proportions.
And if we aren't "international" enough, the site goes on to say that the art of numdah originated in the Sinkiang region of Central Asia/China during the Silk Route trading days. It became an indigenous craft of Kashmir. More about these rugs is on the site. It is truly humbling to me patiently to wander through many regions of the world (Australia, India, Central Asia, Native America) and come back with something distinctively beautiful from those cultures. It invites us to go deeper, doesn't it? Maybe this life is only given us to get a taste or preliminary appetizer of the beatiful and marvelous complexity of the world. We just need longer, maybe eternity, to enjoy it all.

Opening Information | | Print | |
Introducing students to the many factors to be considered in planning for the post year 10 years. It also introduces the subjects that Caloundra Christian College is offering at Year 11. Year 10's have some important decisions to make as they face such crucial questions as: Will I continue on at school? What are the alternatives? If I stay on, what subjects will I study? How am I going with my career decisions? Year 10's should discuss these matters with their parents, their teachers and especially their class teachers, and any friends who have experienced school life after Year 10. Some will take longer than others in making decisions in these areas but you must not step back from thinking about them. You will find the thought and effort that goes into these decisions most rewarding. This site will thus be important in the choosing of Senior subjects. The College needs to have subject choices in Year 11 finalised by mid October |

Your Savings, Our Money, Their Folly
From the desk of George Handlery on Sat, 2012-08-04 08:58
How you are cast discreetly in the role of the sucker.
Remarkable things are imposed on you and you might not even notice. It begins with the currently frequent helping intervention of politics in economic matters. There are three questions regarding the disbursed, supposedly stimulating, gifts of politics; Are you getting your due, are you receiving what someone else has created, or are you paying a lot for the little you get. The growing burdens of the existing system are real while the long-term consequences promise devastation. For the tort, you will not even be able to attain official victim status. That position is already occupied. The game we play is to take it from someone to benefit so-and-so. Especially if you think otherwise, you are in this game the one from whom it is taken to give the loot to someone else.

Notebook of a Return to the Native Land (Wesleyan Poetry)by Aime Cesaire
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Cesaire's masterpiece that reaches the powerful and overlooked aspects of black culture.
Synopsis:Aime Cesaire's masterpiece, Notebook of a Return to the Native Land, is a work of immense cultural significance and beauty. The long poem was the beginning of Cesaire's quest for negritude, and it became an anthem of Blacks around the world. With its emphasis on unusual juxtapositions of object and metaphor, manipulation of language into puns and neologisms, and rhythm, Cesaire considered his style a beneficial madness that could break into the forbidden and reach the powerful and overlooked aspects of black culture.
Clayton Eshleman and Annette Smith achieve a laudable adaptation of Cesaire's work to English by clarifying double meanings, stretching syntax, and finding equivalent English puns, all while remaining remarkably true to the French text. Their treatment of the poetry is marked with imagination, vigor, and accuracy that will clarify difficulties for those already familiar with French, and make the work accessible to those who are not. Andre Breton's introduction, A Great Black Poet, situates the text and provides a moving tribute to Cesaire. Notebook of a Return to the Native Land is recommended for readers in comparative literature, post-colonial literature, African American studies, poetry, modernism, and French.

I made no comment on who did the gerrymandering, I was just commenting on how well it was done. There was a very clear move to make sure that the Indians in Northern Arizona had some input from the folks down south on who would represent them. Gerrymandering gets neither more effective, nor more obvious than in Arizona.

I'm not really clear at what you're getting at. The tribal lands are huge, but the actual populations are relatively small (I know, having driven across the Navajo Reservation a number of times when visiting my future wife). The main issue I've ever heard here regarding tribal lands and elections is that it's a problem to have elections/primaries to early in the calendar year as it's harder to get around in some places on the Res, so they tend to have them a little later.
I guess the Dems and Reps on the board could somehow bargain to do so for both sides, but it doesn't seem to have worked that way. I know this time there's a number of districts for both state and federal seats where multiple incumbents ended up in the same new district. In this case it was mostly Reps this happened to, one of the main reasons for their angst. It's certainly not a perfect way to do it, but probably better than the shenanigans that can go on when legislatures are directly involved.
We need to come up with a way to work the cake rule into redistricting.
One side cuts the cake.
The other side picks their slice first.

how does AZ2 make any sense geographcally? You've got a big piece of AZ2 inside AZ1 and only connected to the rest of AZ2 by a canyon.
I'm curious as to how others react to Obama's speech at the Associated Press luncheon this past Tuesday...it seemed a real odd tone to adopt so early in the year. Clearly it was a campaign speech, one also that burns bridges before they are even built. (to oversimplify, I think it is fair to say that Obama basically said that Republicans represent every bad thing that is wrong in the country today.)
Why so early in the year? Why so strident?
Is he frustrated and angry and doesn't care who knows it? Is he running scared and figures that the best defense is a good offense? Does he figure that once the campaign is over, those people whose votes he will need to pass any legislation will forgive and forget? Does he figure that, once the campaign is over, he'll be able to bypass Congress completely with recess appointments and executive orders not subject to Congressional review? Is he so singularly focused only on the election that thoughts of what might follow don't even enter his mind?
While I'm no fan of Obama, this speech seemed to me uncharacteristic of his tendencies to date, something seems to have changed, and I have no clue what might be going on with him, and I would like to hear other people's viewpoints, perhaps they notice things that I'm missing?
PS I also thought his attempt to influence the press so blatantly was pretty creepy.....in the question and answer that followed the speech (not in the transcript linked above), here is one report of what he said, where he is quoted is in quotation marks in the excerpt below:
in other words, he seems to be saying to the Associated Press reporters, "if you cover the campaign by trying to appear to be 'even-handed' you actually are doing the nation a disservice because I'm right and they are wrong."In the Q-and-A he offered criticism that "bears on your reporting": "I think that there is oftentimes the impulse to suggest that if the two parties are disagreeing, then they're equally at fault and the truth lies somewhere in the middle." An "equivalence is presented" that is unfortunate. It "reinforces . . . cynicism." But the current debate is not "one of those situations where there's an equivalence." Journalists are failing to "put the current debate in some historical context."

Given that the Reps have ran on "Obama is the worst person ever" for the last few years, why exactly would it be shocking that he's firing back in a campaign speech? It's not really early anymore either. It's April. He should be spinning up his ground game over the next 2-3 months to overwhelm Romney like he did McCain.
Following the election, those Republicans aren't voting for anything with his name on it anyway, which he's *finally* learning about two years too late. So it really doesn't matter if they're offended by his words, since most seem to be offended by his existence.

That certainly is a bit odd looking. But it looks like that bubble coming east basically just captures the Hopi Reservation. Given the long history of acrimony between the Hopis and Navajo (whose reservation surrounds the Hopis), I'd guess it was an effort to not have the Hopi vote swamped by the larger Navajo vote around them. Just a guess.
The new maps don't have that bubble though. You can see them here:
Ever since Obama got in office, his contempt for those who don't see things like he does has never been far under the surface, and comes out every now and then. No surprise to me he's continuing to attack his opponents. The campaign never really totally stops anymore. It just gets worse at times when an election comes closer.
Pretty much. I might keep my TV off outside of college and pro football this fall. It's going to be uglier than usual, and that's not counting the Super-PAC's doing whatever they want since they're "officially" forbidden from even communicating with the campaigns, meaning they'll go way over the line, and whichever candidate will be "Well, we're not allowed to tell them what to do."
Swiftboats en masse and 20x worse.

I had the opposite reaction -- he's getting out in front of the Fall debate early to frame it. I thought it was a great campaign speech and the equivalent of a rally to the troops during a primary. And in contrast to the kind of hatred dished out in the GOP debates, it was quite mild.
Obama tried to build bridges for the first two years of his administration and the GOP not only didn't deal in good faith but used his attempts to negotiate with them to undercut him and push their own agenda. He wised up last winter and has been cleaning their clock ever since. It's very similar to what happened with Clinton.
He's daring them to own Ryan and they're falling into the trap. If the Dems can use this to set up a broad campaign to unseat a lot of Republicans and deliver a Congress that can get things done in contrast to the current bunch of suicide bombers, so much the better for the country.

I guess your theory is if you repeat something enough times maybe you'll convince somebody.
Obama seems about as disdainful as every other president during my lifetime.* The fact that the right gets their panties in a twist every time he speaks says everything about them, not about him.
(* except Carter, who always seemed to be bending over backwards to accommodate and understand. Which was wonderful for a Sunday school teacher but terrible for a president. And Ford, who always looked pretty embarrassed to be there.)

Starting about the time Newt became Speaker, the GOP's narrative has been that they are shocked!, appalled!, troubled! and offended! by anything with a "D" after it. Their criticisms are completely independent of content; they've been running an endless smear campaign for 18 straight years. They went into Search And Destroy mode so long ago that an entire generation of dittoheads has grown up without any concept of national good, just partisan elbowing.
The Republicans have become a Troll Party. Aside from the pursuit of power for its own sake, they've had no reason to exist for decades. They're going to be screwed if conservatives ever figure it out.
On the other hand, it took liberals 25 years to learn the same lesson about the Democratic Party and take it back from the hacks. So the right isn't due to start growing up until around 2019.

Dodgers feeling recharged with Padres in town
Friday night was the first time since May 13 that Los Angeles had its projected 2-3-4 hitters all in the lineup, as center fielder Matt Kemp and right fielder Andre Ethier returned from the disabled list to join Mark Ellis.
"We've got a lineup," manager Don Mattingly said. "Other than Dee [Gordon], it's the kind of club we started with as far as the best club we have. It gives you the best chance to win. It's nice to have part of that back."
The task of preventing that rejuvenated Dodgers lineup from gaining momentum probably seems Herculean for the Padres, who haven't won at Dodger Stadium since May 2011. San Diego is 14 games behind the Dodgers and 2-8 against them this year.
The burden falls on righty Edinson Volquez to reverse his team's fortunes. Volquez and Friday's tough-luck loser Clayton Richard are the only Padres starters to make every scheduled start this year. Despite lapses in command, Volquez has turned in 11 quality starts in 18 chances. The stats suggest he'll need another if he's to have any hope of beating Los Angeles: The Padres provide Volquez with the lowest average run support in the Majors at 2.52.
He'll look to outduel a familiar face for Padres faithful, Aaron Harang. Harang went 14-7 in 28 starts with his hometown Padres in 2011. He is 1-1 with a 3.57 ERA against San Diego in three starts this season.
Los Angeles hopes Harang and its returning superstars can start a second-half surge.
"We got the first part of this race behind us and we left ourselves in position and we didn't really knock ourselves out of the thing," Mattingly said. "This is the most fun time of the season. These next couple months are really pennant race time, so every game is important."
Dodgers: Replacing Gordon
With normal leadoff man and Major League steals leader Gordon out with a torn ligament in his thumb, Mattingly turned to Jerry Hairston to fill the void at the top of the lineup on Friday.
Hairston was 1-for-4 in his first game as leadoff man this season.
Padres: Hermida, Stults nearing returns
Manager Bud Black said Thursday that outfielder Jeremy Hermida and starter Eric Stults are both close to returning to the Major League roster.
Hermida, a .257 hitter with 65 homers in parts of eight big league seasons, is hitting .250 in 24 at-bats with the Padres this season. The 28-year-old landed on the DL April 27 with a strained right adductor, an injury that forced him to have surgery May 15. He is on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tuscon.
Stults is one of three Padres pitchers (Andrew Cashner, Huston Street) to find himself on the DL with a strained lat muscle. The lefty's injury occurred in a between-start throwing session. He allowed three earned runs on three hits in 2 2/3 innings in a rehab start on Thursday. Stults is 1-2 with a 3.33 ERA in four starts for San Diego this year.
Worth noting
Kemp was strong in his return to the Dodgers' lineup Friday, going 2-for-4. Ethier, who was the top RBI man in the NL before his June DL stint, was 0-for-2 behind Kemp.
Padres second baseman Logan Forsythe continues his consistent hitting since returning from the DL on June 3. His two hits Friday night pushed his season average to .308, and the 25-year-old is hitting .328 (19-for-58) with seven multi-hit showings over his last fifteen games.

Since Emmanuelle Alt was appointed editor of Vogue Paris, we've all been wondering what direction that magazine will taker under her direction. During the couture shows, she told Hilary Alexander that the magazine will be "the same but different", while back in January, Fabien Baron (Vogue Paris' creative director until just two years ago) predicted that the publication will become more commercial and accessible than under Carine Roitfeld's reign.
The editor recently revealed more on her plans to Vogue's Mark Holgate. "I want to keep the quality, the photographers we work with — David [Sims], Mert and Marcus, Mario [Testino], and Bruce Weber," she explained. "I don't think there should be radical changes. The magazine should still be chic and sophisticated. It's a bit like buying an apartment: Before you move in, you have all these plans of what you are going to do, but then you get there, and you realize it is better to spend time living in it, and transforming it over time. I'd like there to be more beauty trends; there was so much of that in Vogue back in the eighties. More French girls, more French lifestyle. And I am going to keep shooting for the magazine — hopefully a story every issue."
As expected, the shoots are going to be less provocative than what we were accustomed to under Roitfeld. She said: "I always want a relationship with reality: nothing too sexy, or provocative, or fashion victim. We are French — we can show smoking, nudity. We have no boundaries, and it can be good to have them."
On the models vs. celebrities issue, she made it clear that, "I'd be very happy to put an actress on the cover if she is the right girl," but models are clearly her focus. "Daria [Werbowy]" is her favourite and "is the girl I work with the most. She has a natural, strong beauty. You can put her in a white tee and she will make it look fantastic. I like Kate [Moss] too, because she cares about clothes. Most models don't care what you put them in, they just play the game."


text: A: Whoa. He went to Mike Miller in the second quarter and might have gone back to him if Mike didn't find a way to get hurt shooting that 3-pointer at the end of the first half. And he showed that he was willing to go more often to Birdman, if Chris didn't get into foul trouble. And he went back and forth between Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole trying to find an answer there (hmm, perhaps a third point guard?). Heck, he even tried Joel Anthony. Rashard Lewis? OK, that just might be next, and might be worth a look if Shane can't get it turned around.

Students of The World
For the New York School of Interior Design, a trip to Turkey was truly a delight
Judith Gura -- Interior Design, 2/1/2010 12:00:00 AM
Over two hectic but rewarding weeks, New York School of Interior Design professor Mehmet Özpay took students to architecture and design sites in Istanbul and on the Aegean coast of Turkey in order to explore the intriguing mix of East and West, ancient and contemporary. NYSID's study-abroad program had never before ventured outside Western Europe, and the trip reflected the school's commitment, under president Christopher Cyphers and dean Scott Ageloff, to expanding students' knowledge beyond the classroom. Ageloff's choice of Turkey in particular was timely, as President Barack Obama included it in his first official trip overseas, and Istanbul is a European Capital of Culture for 2010.
NYSID's nine students ranged from 20 to 60 years in age, and almost all had previously been abroad, but even the most well traveled among them hadn't anticipated the variety of experiences in the intense schedule. Özpay, a trained architect who's also an assistant VP in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's corporate real-estate division, planned the itinerary with what he called a hidden agenda: to allow his charges "to experience real Turkish life and culture, not just see the sights."
To that end, he recruited old classmates and acquaintances from Istanbul's Robert College high school to give an up-close view of their country through personal introductions and behind-the-scenes visits. "Every day, they met at least one local person—some days, more," he says. "And it was important to meet as many professional women as possible, since most of the students were women." (The lone male, as it happened, was Turkish.)
As the group explored Istanbul on foot as well as by subway, tram, minibus, and taxi, Topkapý Palace was the unanimous favorite among the big-name destinations. Its cluster of human-scaled pavilions was surprising for a sultan's residence, especially for Western eyes accustomed to the ostentation of palaces such as the Château de Versailles. Also on the schedule were Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, of course. For balance, one of Özpay's classmates arranged an excursion that included a private tour of the Jewish Museum and a service in a synagogue.
Visiting the Grand Bazaar, the students shopped for kilims, leather, jewelry, and brass lamps. The peak moments of the trip were unquestionably the more private experiences, the unexpected ones. From historic landmarks and neighborhoods, the itinerary moved on to contemporary hotels, restaurants, shops, and even design studios.
At Autoban, which specializes in trendy furniture, restaurants, and hotels, the group took note of how a young firm can brand its interiors through product development. The experience was very different at Tabanlýoglu Architects, a prominent family-owned firm with the stature of a Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Murat Tabanlýoglu, the current partner, collaborated on the design of the ultracontemporary Kanyon shopping mall; his father built Istanbul's Atatürk Cultural Center in 1969. And a breakfast meeting with a dean and instructors at Istanbul Technical University was followed by a tour of a student exhibition, study rooms, and model-making studios. NYSID's visitors were impressed to learn that all of the university's interior design students are required to take classes in architecture.
Perhaps the most unexpected, most memorable day in Istanbul involved a seven-hour Bosporus cruise on a yacht lent by one of Özpay's classmates and captained by another. From the water, the students were treated to a vista of sites previously visited on land as well as of waterfront houses that are hidden by walls from the street. Many of these are 18th- or 19th-century summerhouses, or yalý, converted into modern-day residences behind timber facades preserved by law. Disembarking from the yacht, the group visited a waterfront villa by Interior Design Hall of Fame member Mica Ertegun—a yalý-style house elegantly furnished in the late Ottoman style, with large sofas, colorful pillows, and low tables.
Down in Bodrum, a Monte Carlo—like resort, the tour featured a visit to Ertegun's own villa, which she'd decorated with locally made furniture and accessories. Another day, architect Ahmet Igdirligil personally accompanied the students to a pair of new boutique hotels by his firm, Sans Mimarlýk. One of the hotels, suitable for just two or three privileged guests, was in a 17th-century tower constructed like a fortress, complete with drawbridge, to defend against pirates. The other was built just a few years ago to suggest a secluded castle. Finding the students good company, Igdirligil actually joined the group for the next couple of days.
The dense schedule allowed for just a single day off, and it happened to be a rainy one in Bodrum. Some evenings were free, too. Back in Istanbul, several students managed to fit in an extracurricular expedition to one of the most celebrated discos, Reyna.
We would love your feedback!

How to Ask a Girl for a Kiss
Edited by Maluniu, Jack Herrick, Mimi, Bo and 29 others
See those couple's walking down the hall and the guy leans is for a smooch? Want to be him? Here's how.
Edit Steps
1Don't be shy; be enthusiastic. Whenever you're around your girlfriend, just be yourself.
2Go someplace romantic. For example, the beach, a restaurant, or a movie. Go somewhere that feels comfortable and is not too public.
3Get comfortable with her. Casually, but don't overthink it, put your arm around her. This signals to her that you're keen to get closer.
4After you get very comfortable, wait until the end of the date to ask her for a kiss.
5At the end of the date, have a little conversation. Be flirty with her and if she reacts well, chances are she likes you.
6Move your head in for a kiss, slowly. It's usually best to do it if the signals are right and she responds positively.
- You can ask if you think this is polite but take it as it comes! If you do ask her, perhaps something like:
- I really like you, would you mind if I kissed you?
Edit Tips
- If you really love her and she feels the same way, just go somewhere alone. While you are there, get close and flirt, then move in for the kiss and smile before and after.
- Don't seem like you're desperate for that kiss, or else she'll get the message.
- Have fun with it!
- Don't be nervous. Practice on anything, like stuffed animals, for example. It may seem embarrassing,(it is very especially when your mum or dad walks in!) but it really helps.

I-Team: RFID credit card thefts
Skimmers can read your personal information
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Take note of your surroundings while shopping this holiday.
Scammers are getting more high tech now they don't even need to touch your wallet to steal what's inside.
Holiday shopping is in full swing and as you weave through crowded shops, some people are waiting for you to let your guard down.
"It's scary because you know, they can take your identity," said Springfield's Cielito Ortiz.
New technology, called a radio frequency skimmer, has the ability to read some of your credit cards simply by holding it close to you.
Within seconds, your personal information is in someone else's hands.
Something Springfield Consumer affairs expert Milagros Johnson is warning people about.
"It's a big concern that someone may be carrying an RFID skimmer. Swipe it by your pocket and you may just have one or two credit cards but that information could be compromised and you would be totally unaware of it," said Milagros Johnson of the Springfield Office of Consumer Affairs.
Luckily, there are ways to protect yourself. You can block the radio waves by wrapping your cards in tinfoil.
Some banks are starting to encrypt your information, you can call your bank and find out if you're protected from this.
At least one shopper told 22News it's just another excuse for him to avoid the big crowds.
"I try to stay out of the stores as much as possible, that's what I do," said Rob Simard, Indian Orchard.
An idea for a Christmas gift: some stores sell radio frequency I-D wallets that would protect you, or you can buy smaller sleeves to keep your cards in.

Cosmopolis Tops Specialty Box Office
August 19th, 2012
Robert Pattinson jokingly urging his legion of fans on "The Daily Show" to go out and see Cosmopolis, in an effort to give it a bigger opening than The Dark Knight, seems to have worked — sort of.
Although the film only played in three theaters in New York and L.A., Cosmopolis had a gross of $72,300 ($24,100 per theater), helping it top the specialty box office, with the best average of the weekend.

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
Dsytopian futures always seems to have consistently bad taste in fashion...someone was bitter about fashion week in NYC.
When US Government led by the Commander in Chief, George Bush invaded Iraq in a quest for Fool's Gold, NYC was in such disharmony that it made the Occupy Wall Street farce look tame by comparison. The economy was already going into the shitter. Protests raged daily at Union Square, an apropos place in the tradition of many leaders in noble protests for centuries. I don't think I ever felt this feeling of hatred for being light skinned...and yet, it was light skinned caucasians who were outspoken...and lower East Side was vandalized with Graffiti, "American Imperialism..."
I'm no stranger to our meddling in other countries. My father was a vietnam vet who married a "war bride." My mother has stories of when the communists took over Saigon. They stripped her of her lands, business, and family wealth and sent her to live in "Economy housing." Her neighbors who didn't agree to leave were lined up outside their homes and shot in the skull one after another. My mother never told me that story. It was my older sisters who at age 6 and 7 remembered seeing the horrific sounds of gunfire and pile of corpses.
The late great Kurt Vonnegut Jr (and my personal hero) once said, "There's nothing you can do with the nightmares that haunt you...other than writing about it, wrestling the demon, and hoping that someone will be enlightened by our daily struggles."
And it's the Hunger Games where we see the concept in America, we send our youth to die as entertainment or to quote U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday, "When fact is fiction and TV reality..."
I wonder, what if my daughter had to go to war? I watcher her a kid reading comic books, watching the Little Mermaid...would I recognize her if she was trained and ordered to kill at will? I've bagged and tagged over 70 bodies in my travels. Dealt with murderers but take a life? How would I feel about that...I wonder and I fear.
Disappointed that it wasn't a story about 90s artists unable to make enough to fill their stomachs before the money broom of '95 swept them to White Plains, NY.
FAQ #1: Why Friday? A: I felt I was alienating a good portion of our group by constantly putting B&Vs on Saturday. NYers work crazy schedules and I am no stranger to that. So excluding .5s, I wanted to alternate Fri/Sat starting Jan 2012. So last month, the meet up was well, technically Sunday but this month, we' put it on Friday.
1900- Churrascaria Riodizio TriBeCa 221 W Broadway (nr. Franklin St.) Website & menu Be forewarned, Price Fixe $68.95 Dinner with drink and dessert. However we've worked it out investing in the treasury to cut it down to $39.95.
Confirmed for dinner (updated March 20th): Detfink, Woody89, G-man, Michael5188, Rider Kabuto, Lorne & Elaine Jaffe, Original Richard, Adam, LordofBrklyn, Marco, Marcy, Jonny Appleseed and Mr. Burn Notice.
2250- Hunger Games movie at Regal Battery Park Stadium 11 located on 102 North End Ave. After movie party TBA
Replies are closed for this discussion.
Looking good so far, 11 and up...
I am def down, I applied for and received vacation time to go.
Alright, got my ticket already.
Hey guys, I believe I will finally be free for this Friday. I won't be able to meet you guys for dinner, but I will meet you guys at the movie theater to see the movie with you guys.
See you then, BN.
Did every one get their tickets yet?
Just got my ticket
had my ticket awhile ago
Got my ticket, so happy that is not sold out.

So as some of you may know, this was how I spent my Sunday this past weekend. I have never done a woods race before, and haven't touched anything but a track in about 7 months. Add to that mix GNCC BROs like Nate Kanney, Chris Bach, Johnny Girroir, and the moto shredders Robby Marshall, Mike Sottile, and Jake Abbott, and you see what I was dealing with. Needless to say, I was the favorite to win the pro class. I probably would have, too. I may or may not have been (read: definitely wasn't) murdering the field when I got a flat tire two laps in to both motos (they run 30 minute motos at JDay, it's like an MX and GNCC cocktail). Had it been a rear flat, I surely would have just bossed it out and finished the moto and collected my money. It was a front flat though, and I decided that there was a legitimate chance that the actual GNCC BROs might kill themselves if I beat them with a front flat, so I gave it to them. I don't need that shit on my conscience.
Let me tell you though, this trail racing shit is no joke. I fully expected to just be San Francisco cruisin' down the trails, tire tapping some roots and just having a generally good time keeping the flow. It wasn't like that. Rocks everywhere, and I am pretty sure they were covered in ice even though it was like 90 degrees out, because I could literally go from all good to perpendicular to the trail in about a tenth of a second (and I did that, several times). Then there are these GNCC dudes who just cruise over everything like giving me a middle finger isn't enough (although the Massholes Robby Marshall and Mike Sottile were showing everyone what's up, straight off the MX track and into the woods like it was nothing.)
And as you may have noticed from the video, the moto hoes are definitely present in the woods genre, as well. Fast dudes get the fast chicks. I would drink fermented cat piss just to smell the gym shorts of the chick who was with the dude who won. Like a boss.

An explosion at a Blue Rhino propane plant late last night left eight workers injured and five in critical condition.
The petroleum plant in Tavares cleans, refurbishes, and refills them to be redistributed to venders. There was about 23,000 20-pound tanks on site at the time of the explosion. Tavares fire chief Richard Keith has reported that there was no foul play suspected and that the explosion was due to faulty equipment or human error.

The Cockaigne Housing Group formed as a Friendly Society, obtained a site of 2.75 acres from the Hatfield Development Corporation in 1962. In an area set aside for development the Corporation intended 12 detached family houses to be built. Cockaigne, however, had other ideas and our brief was to create a small community centred on a multi-purpose clubroom.
Fronting an estate road to the east with a gentle slope along its length to the north the site had no natural features or interesting views. The Hatfield Rural District Council provided assistance with finance as well as mortgages for the members of the Group.
All houses were planned between storey-height party walls at 23 foot centres which run the depth of the site and with planting at front and rear establish a private area for each house and garden. Within this enclosure, two-bay single-storey plans were developed from a similar idea to that used for two- and three-storey houses in the MoHLG R&D project at West Ham. The single-storey plan used at The Ryde and based on a 13 foot bay for the living spaces and 10 foot bay for bedrooms had a number of advantages.
The larger houses, nominally with three bedrooms and four bedrooms have two bathrooms, each immediately adjacent to or between bedrooms. Single garages were generally on-plot with a parking space in front and used to create an entrance courtyard leading to the front door. A footpath at the rear of the site provided a safe link for all houses to the clubroom which provided residents with meeting facilities and a nursery school.
Planning permission was originally refused as the houses were considered unsuitable for an area intended for high quality private dwellings. However, permission was subsequently granted and the site comfortably accommodated the 28 houses, nominally ten four bedroom, ten three bedroom, five two bedroom and three one bedroom, the clubroom with adjoining play space and a tennis court, as planned.
The construction utilised Lignacite blocks for the party walls and apron walls at front and rear. These were built fairfaced externally and internally, left natural externally and painted white internally.
External walls within the party wall subdivisions were of storey-height timber frames made in Douglas Fir with fixed single glazing, full-height vertical sliding aluminium casements or glazed doors. Internal partitions were of boarding on timber studs. All timber was stained black externally and clear finished internally.
Roofs were of timber joists covered with Stramit insulation board waterproofed with asphalt and a protective layer of gravel. Electric underfloor heating was provided throughout, supplemented by storage heaters where necessary. Floor and ceiling finishes were from a range of options selected by individual purchasers.
40 years on a strong sense of community exists, helped no doubt by the social focus provided by the clubroom, but also generated by the unique qualities of the houses attracting like minded people which together engender a strong attachment from past and present owners.
The original intention behind the design and construction to accommodate the changing needs of families and households of different sizes has been put to good use.
The ever present demand for more space has been met in many instances by roofing over either the entrance or internal courtyards or both, utilising a wide range of technical solutions from basic DIY to more sophisticated technology, thereby clearly demonstrating the inherent possibilities of the approach to planning and design adopted.

Our crazy story of the day comes from (what a surprise) Tennessee were a man went into a jealous rage over a picture he found on his 37 year old girlfriend's Facebook page.
I bet you're thinking it must of been a picture of an ex boyfriend. No! It's a picture of presidential candidate Mitt Romney who he believed was the "other man" in his girlfriend's life. The man became even more incensed throwing her computer against the wall when she tried to explain the identity of the man with the slick hair. He will have plenty of time to figure out who he is voting in jail as he was arrested for his violent rage. More on this story here

Three Blind Wolves aren't going to be favourites of the Glasgow tourist board, as they've described single 'Parade' as being about "feeling lost, forlorn and disconnected from your personal life and the city you life in," which is Glasgow.
However they will probably be popular with everyone else, as they sing a sort of east Atlantic blues rock. Think a Scottish Black Keys, in music and facial hair, and you'll get a hint. Or you could listen to the video we've got below. Actually, you should probably do that one instead. The single is out October 15th, and there's a mini album out there too.

There's a lot of dead space on the right hand side of the photo. I'd at least like to see a bit more run up for the bank. I know a bunch of stuff has been shot here and you were attempting to do something different, but try and use the surroundings to your advantage. If I didn't already know this was a roof I'd be confused as to what this spot was, where, etc. I'd just like to see the bigger picture. Tell a story with the photo, don't just shoot the trick. ;)

Needleman Steps into Leadership Role at Peacock Alley
-- Home Textiles Today, 11/9/2009 12:00:00 AM
Dallas —
Jason Needleman has been named ceo of Peacock Alley. He succeeds his mother, Mary Ella Gabler-Bitzer, founder of the luxury bedding and bath company. She becomes chairman.
Needleman has been a long-standing board member of the 38-year-old company. He most recently was with Reelfx, a video game company, and Activision, a manufacturer of video games. Prior to joining Reelfx, he spent a year at Peacock Alley during a revamping of the company's activities.
"I was selling creative products, now I'm selling design. It's also a different client base," he commented. One of his immediate challenges "is making it through these economic times that for luxury goods will last at least another six months."
After that, he believes, "There will be a greater design appreciation as well as new ways of doing retailing and a growing designer business."
His brother, Josh Needleman, has been with the company serving as vp, strategic sales.
We would love your feedback!

Spring sees four camel calves born at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo
Tuesday 15 May 2007
No less than four bactrian camel calves have been born this Spring and can be seen snuggling up to their mothers in their paddock at the Asian Drive-through.
These two-humped species, a domestic breed of the Bactrian camel, were all born in April to four separate mothers. Now they are taking their first brave steps out with the rest of the herd and can be seen by visitors on their journey on the Jumbo Express train, in the paddock at the edge of the Asia drive-through.
The camel calves, three females and one male, have been given names by their proud keepers. They are: Genghis, Georgia, Gypsy and Ginny born to mothers Jubilee, Hayley, Clarissa and Sherry.
