The Land Lab combines 21st-century science teaching with community engagement and service learning. The Living Wall provides a teaching environment within which students an co-exist with living things – plants, animals, and insects – while they interact with local ecosystems and draw from global resources. Inside and outside the Land Lab, students learn by integrating classroom and laboratory studies with meaningful community service.
New York City and Wichita, KS, are among the many cities in the United States in which the state regularly spends more than one million dollars to incarcerate prisoners who live within a single census block. Advocacy organizations, city planners, and community groups working with released prisoners are asking: where are these 'million dollar blocks,' and what's happening there? The Spatial Information Design Lab (SIDL) at Columbia is working with the Justice Mapping Center to produce a range of maps of this phenomenon.
Twenty-one large high school buildings in New York City are being transformed into campuses of small schools, part of the New Century High School Initiative of New Visions for Public Schools. At stake is a dramatic shift in school reform policy, and a basic reorganization of the existing infrastructure of many inner city schools. Laura Kurgan Design worked as the lead design, planning, and process consultant on facilities with New Visions for Public Schools on six of the 21 masterplans. The results—design strategies, a program, education policy and a radically participatory process—have been adopted as best practices and serve as a model for campuses in transition.
High-resolution images from the Ikonos and QuickBird satellites were purchased to display four vulnerable landscapes: a desert in Iraq, the rain forest in Cameroon, the tundra in Alaska, and the Atlantic Ocean, off Ghana at the 0 degrees longitude, and 0 degrees latitude. Printed at 40" x 84", the images echoed a certain monochromatic Minimalism, but their production required investigative research and work with investigative journalists and non-governmental advocacy groups, and their political and ethical stakes were at once significant and not altogether self-evident. ("Architecture by Numbers," Whitney Museum at Altria, New York, 2004)
Three small high schools with a focus on the arts, jointly housed inside Lehman High School in the Bronx, sought to transform an obsolete woodshop and lab into a shared teaching lab and online graphic arts studio. Laura Kurgan Design was commissioned by New Visions for Public Schools to design the space, but more importantly to create a participatory process for the collaborative design of shared spaces in small school campuses. Here the multiple stakeholders had to invent modes of teaching with computers when access to computing cannot be taken for granted, and the challenges came to affect everything from table design to room configuration.
A non-headquarters for WITNESS, a human rights organization which provides video technology and training to local activists, in the 80 Arts building at BAM in Brooklyn. The space is understood as a node in the large network which WITNESS brings together, a place for meeting, working, archiving, producing, and dispersing. The design, across two floors of the building, also had to reflect and communicate the mission of WITNESS.
Laura Kurgan Design teamed with Leeser Architecture, new media artist Golan Levin, and StoSS Landscape Urbanism, to create an interactive public installation for Lower Manhattan. The prototype was designed for Battery Park City with a view towards future sites. The project was one of four finalists in a competition organized by the Van Alen Institute and the Architectural League of New York. In 1.800.NY.CALLS, you sign up and the city calls you. You inhabit and participate in a full scale map of the city.
Birds are the triggers for the on-off switches in an outdoor display of real-time video feeds from the 2004 Athens Olympics. This project, developed in collaboration with Natalie Jeremijenko, was a finalist in the competition for outdoor public art projects in ATHENS 2004, "Catch the Light: 7 Routes through Athens."
Chicago's celebrated recreational lakefront ends abruptly seven miles north of the Loop. Seeking ideas for a two-mile extension, the Graham Foundation sponsored a competition "for a 21st-century park: A vision for the extension of Lincoln Park." This project, created in collaboration with Kate Orff and Natalie Jeremijenko, was one of six finalists. It imagined ooZ, a reverse form of "urban zoo" in which humans respond to agendas set by wildlife, as well as a redesign strategy to enhance a series of microclimates at the water's edge, which clean the lake, and double function as a park.
Sometimes a space for architecture is created in unexpected ways. The principals of some experimental small high schools in the Bronx, faced with the necessity of surviving inside larger schools, came up with some innovative design tactics without meaning to. This report on some spatial aspects of the New Century High School Initiative, as it unfolded at five school buildings in the Bronx, suggests that the ways in which they were struggling to create territory for themselves was fundamentally architectural. The report builds on and formalizes their ad hoc maneuvers in order to propose a unique set of strategies for the conversion of large high schools into campuses of small schools, guided by spontaneous approaches to design. (printed report funded by NYSCA).
A pioneering non-profit art gallery in lower Manhattan, Art in General, proposed a competition to "reconfigure" its space, on two non-contiguous floors of a hardware store in Tribeca. In collaboration with Leslie Gill, Architect, and Natalie Jeremijenko, this design strategy (one of five short-listed finalists) involved location-based media to take advantage of both physical and virtual spaces and allow innovative site-specific curatorial practices.
Experimental engineer Natalie Jeremijenko needed to rebuild her information technology research and product design lab in Dunham Hall at the Engineering School, Yale University. Design here meant inventing rules to utilize hallway space in relation to an active hub of production, collaboration, work, learning, and the display of products.
New York, September 11, 2001, Four Days Later….
On September 15, 2001, the high-resolution sensors of the Ikonos satellite passed over lower Manhattan, collecting data. For an exhibition on the "rhetorics of surveillance" at the Zentrum für Kunst und Medien in Karlsruhe, this installation asked about the relation between catastrophe and memory, suffering and exposure, information and experience—by printing the satellite image across 102 square meters of the gallery's floor.
AROUND GROUND ZERO was designed as a pocket-sized, fold-out map to orient viewers to the former site of the World Trade Center during the winter of 2001-2002. It sought to enable both pedestrian and intellectual access to the area in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks. Two editions were printed and distributed for free, the first in December 2001 and a second in March 2002. As such, the maps were dated and updated to indicate changes to the area.
A non-headquarters for WITNESS, a human rights organization which provides video technology and training to local activists, in a 2000 sf Tribeca space. The entire media oriented organzations was built off the infrastructure of a millenium party and served as a temporary working space for WITNESS for four years. Completed August 2001.
The Yen, the Euro, and the Dollar make up about 90% of the global trade in money. Time—in the shortest possible increments—seems as important, if not more, than space in this trans-national system of exchange and flow. This computer-based installation—part of "The Art of Money" at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, and later in "Money and Value," Biel/Bierne, EXPO.02, Swiss National Exposition—used recorded financial data feeds from Reuters to track the movements of these three currencies in the days and hours immediately surrounding the turnover of the Millennium. The later version displayed the data in real time over the duration of the exhibition. When trading stopped, so did the clock.
How do satellites remember events? An installation using SPOT commercial satellite imagery to investigate a mass grave site in Kosovo during the NATO air campaign, tried to show how satellites might sometimes form the only traces of particular memories. Exhibited in "World Views: Maps and Art," Weisman Art Museum, University of Minnesota, September 1999 – January 2000. Catalogue. Re-exhibited in "Kosov@," Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland, Oregon, April 2000; and "Anxious Omniscience," Princeton University Art Gallery, February-April 2002
In 1995 a database of high resolution satellite images was declassified by the Clinton administration. This means that the first satellite images ever taken in the late 60's were at a high resolution of up to 2 meters. This installation used declassified high-resolution Corona satellite imagery of Cape Town, South Africa, 1968. Exhibited in "The Art of Detection: Surveillance in Society," List Visual Arts Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, October-December 1997; and "Transatlantico," Centro Atlantico de Arte Moderne, Las de Gran Canaria (Canary Islands), April-June 1998. Catalogues.
Taking advantage of a then newly operational network of 24 Global Positioning Satellites, this installation recorded the traces, and presented in real time, an attempt to inhabit the unruly and disorienting spaces of satellite mapping system. Exhibited as the inaugural installation, Department of Architecture and Design, Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, November 1995 – February 1996. Solo exhibition. Catalogue

'Modern Family' - 'My Funky Valentine' Recap
(S01E15) The myriad relationships and characters in 'Modern Family' make it the perfect show to spotlight all the difficulties one can face in love and romance. As Valentine's Day descends on our cast of characters, they each explore new ways to express how much they care about one another, and they each find challenges along the way.
Jay takes Gloria out for a romantic evening, though it's not the one she expects. Mitchell and Cameron, who've agreed to watch Manny for the evening, wind up helping him express his true feelings to the girl he pines for, after another boy took credit for his poetry and scored a date with her.
Claire and Phil find the inspiration to break their Valentine's routine and explore the world of naughty role-playing. Surprisingly, both of them turn out to be pretty good at it, though Claire perhaps takes it a little too naughty. Particularly when things take that inevitable turn to the absurd.
When Jay took Gloria to see a favorite comedian of his, David Brenner playing himself, she was reluctant to go; instead wanting him to take her salsa dancing. But she went along, and found herself enjoying the show. Everything was going great until Brenner started taking pot shots at their marriage, and particularly at Jay for being so much older. Like Gloria thought, it looked like Jay was concerned about how other people felt about their relationship, but he revealed instead that it was an insecurity that she would not want to continue being with him as he got older. I appreciate these genuine character moments in the midst of the comedy on the show. It helps make these characters and relationships feel that much more real.
Their love reaffirmed, they decided to go dancing instead, just in time to run into Claire and Phil. By this time, the role-play had reached the point where Claire was naked underneath a trenchcoat, the belt of which was unfortunately caught in an escalator. In other words, if she moves, she's standing there nude surrounded by people.
Of course, at this point, they started getting inundated with people they both know. It was a little ridiculous and unlikely that so many people would show up at just that moment, but it didn't stop it from being funny as each one showed up. Not nearly as hilarious as what happened after Gloria saved the day. Loved that Gloria revealed that the exact same thing had happened to her before, and the coat switch was handled pretty smoothly. Less brilliant was her bra and panties scattering across the floor.
What must Jay have been thinking? I'll give him credit for keeping his thoughts to himself. It was pretty classy of Jay and Gloria to say nothing to Claire and Phil at all about what they must have known was going on. A great opportunity to make them both feel ridiculous, but for the sake of love and romance and the spirit of Valentine's, they let it pass.
The set-up for Mitchell to use his big courtroom speech on the boy who stole Manny's poem was a little too blatant, but it was worth it for the moment when the dumb girl decided she still liked the plagiarist because he said he had the feelings but didn't know how to express them. Poor Manny. When will he ever find a woman who understands what's in his heart?
It was nice to see that new parents Cam and Mitchell weren't expecting some fancy night out alone, nor did Mitchell balk when he found out Cam had agreed to watch Manny for the night. Again, it's those genuine little moments that help the audience believe in these characters, and believing in them makes the situations they find themselves in that much funnier.

As a quasi follow-up to my previous lists based on oddity in video games (Enemy attacks and customs/tendencies), this time, we are looking at game elements that have real world applications yet have dissimilar effects in video games. Whether it is deliberate developer design or just whimsy on the programmer's part, I'm sure we can all agree that these following objects don't do quite what they should! Using well-known power-ups that just have odd or unrealistic effects (SMB Mushrooms/Mega Man 2's Metal Blade) but are limited to video games would make the list too long and probably not very interesting. For example, you can't say that PacMan's power pellets are odd because you can't chew animal food pellets and have a similar effect in real life, but no one would expect them to. (Don't forget alcohol in a myriad of games; sorry college freshman...) As always, this is my list and only includes games that I've played.

Talent and creativity abound in the Art of Quilting feature in Love of Quilting.
36" x 24", 2007
Katherine Lawrence made this quilted landscape, which depicts the Sangre de Cristo mountains near her home in Los Alamos, New Mexico, for a very special reason. In the spring of 2006, her oldest son, David, donated a kidney to her, and she created this quilt to thank him. The family often hiked in the region, so the quilt has become a treasured memento for David. Katherine assembled cotton and batik fabrics with raw edge fused appliqu� and satin-stitched edges. She then embellished the top with surface painting and thread work. A lifelong sewer, Katherine has been quilting for more than a decade, and loves to explore all kinds of construction and decorative techniques.

Android's CyanogenMod adds webOS-style swipe-away notifications 61
Quick: how do you dismiss individual notifications on stock Android?
Time's up. You can't. Android's notifications system is an all-or-nothing affair. Some manufacturers, like Motorola, have added in the ability to delete individual notifications, but stock Android and most manufacturer-derived variants lack that feature. You can have all of your notifications sit there until you act on them, or you can dismiss them all at once. There's no webOS-style middle ground where you can dismiss a few and keep the rest.
Until now, at least if you're willing to go the unofficial aftermarket firmware route (if you were on webOS, you'd call it homebrew, iOS: jailbreaking) with CyanogenMod 7.1. Included in this release are a slew of modifications to Android, including a DSP equalizer, theming, lock screen gestures, and a slew of small changes as well. One of those small changes is something that the typical webOS user is quite familiar with: swipeable notifications.
It's good to see Android improving, even if unofficially, against the notifications implemented by webOS and iOS. webOS still stands heads and shoulders above the rest with its sheer simplicity and quasi-widget support, and the triage capability of webOS 3.0 notifications puts webOS yet another step ahead of the competition. We're hoping that Google follows Apple's lead and takes some of their *ahem* homebrew community's contributions and incorporates them into future versions of Android. Just to prove that imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery.

Hopefully there are enough "unofficial" programs to make it less painful to make the change pretty soon here.
Perfect Task Switcher
Wave Launcher
Wave Launcher is very nice. It mimics the look and feel of the webOS wave bar quite nicely and also holds folders and recent apps.
Perfect Task Switcher isn't quite as nice. While it runs smoothly on phones that don't have the horsepower to run Wave Launcher well, the look and feel of PTS is unpolished and manipulating the cards can be clumsy at times.
Another potentially nice app for webOS orphans on Android is InvisiBright which sits in your notification drawer and allows you to change your phone's brightness settings without leaving your app.
good news for my nook color :)
I think it's very thoughtful of Derek to publish articles to make the transition from WebOS to something better less painful.
Seriously what the **** are you doing here?
Watching the trainwreck..
could care less
Makes my thoughts of switching to Android even less hesitant.
Switch. Please.
I'm overwhelmed. There are so many hardware options! :)
Seems like you have a hardware deficiency somewhere to want to make up for it elsewhere? LOL.
+1 for switch please, add: please stay away too!
yeah my hardware deficiency is in my pre minus.
I'm growing sick of this lag.
It's like spacemanspork's post says down below. Everyone on here that is "hating" and/or switching to android are the ones that really love webos, but are frustrated with HP.
HP is doing a poor job of bringing products people are ASKING FOR to the market.
Yeah they brought us the touchpad, but at $500!? the high price is causing low sales, which is causing lack of developers. I don't know of one non-webos enthusiast who bought the touchpad.
spacemanspork is right. The veer was a waste of time. If the pre 3 was out instead of the veer HP could have stopped many of us webos users from switching to Android, they could have introduced new users to webos, which could drive up the sales of the touchpad.
Derek sees the numbers that are leaving for android due to lack of hardware and he's helping them out. We all know when the pre 3 comes out it's going to be at a ridiculous price of $200 so some have decided what's the point of even waiting.
I haven't switched yet, but my pre minus is dying and I don't want another 3" screen phone. So my choice at this time is to jump to Android, just like the rest of the webos users that are sick of a 3" screen and physical keyboard.
I've made the switch to Android and folks the sheer power of the software along with the superior quality of the hardware kinda makes webos look like a joke really! It's no wonder people aren't buying into webos and hp. Not to mention, that they really did us legacy device owners crappy. they took too long to innovate and even longer to get products into our hands. After using the Evo3d, you begin to realize that even the pre 3d won't cut it.it won't have a big enough engine under the hood! After using a phone that truly is fast, I could not even get used to webos again. Speed is everything in the mobile market and everyone except hp has figured that out.
The truth is webos is truly doing a lot of work in it's software and it needs to have dual core processors.the pre3d won't be able to cut it unless they add more speed.
I do miss the simplicity of webos but the power and speed of htc can't be rivaled. It's just too damn good! I'm sure you could hack your evo but it is just not necessary. Coming from webos, it has all the power you need out of the box!
yeah, meant couldn't care less. But it doesn't matter, forums are kinda informal but people generally understand. Notice I started in lower case.
The author should comment and let us know what was the purpose of this article
You do realize most of the people here that are "hating" are doing so because they love webOS but hate Palm/HP right? Why do some of us hate Palm/HP? Because a lot of us feel like HP/Palm are TRYING to fail.
What HP should do is inherently obvious. Release their version of the "super phone" as quickly as possible. Get their hardware team to design one in the top of the line range. Dual core, lots of RAM (768mb or 1gb), front facing camera, a great rear camera, and 4G. Screen size should probably be safe and go for 3.5-4". 3.8" seems like a safe bet. Then release as soon as there's a stable build of webOS 2.x and release on ALL carriers. Take a loss on the product but undercut the iPhone and the top end Android phones.
Imagine if they actually did this. There would be no Veer in April but instead you'd have an ultra powerful Pre3 on ALL 4 carriers in April. And those specs aren't absurd. Those are Atrix level specs and that phone came out BEFORE April. I think HP's chances aren't great but aren't too bad if they did this. Theoretically it can really help out the Touchpad too if people like their Pre3. I bet way more people would've bought this theoretical ultra Pre3 over the Veer.
What did HP do instead? They released the Veer to which all the reviews said "It's cute but who wants this? It's way too small." They'll release the Pre3 4-5 months later to only a few carriers and be a single core phone in the land of dual cores. Sigh.
So you see, it's not webOS people are fed up with. It's HP/Palm. People are here saying stuff like that guy because they're still secretly hoping that something will be done right but after seeing it done wrong over and over you have to accept that they probably won't. Meh.
People do not generally insult others with comments like "you suck" in the secret hope it will improve them. And some of us are generally happy with what HP is doing.
I have a few complaints, I've voiced them and moved on. If I am unhappy enough I'll just buy another product and not waste the bandwidth of other more patient people on this site.
The constant childish whining is annoying. It's only appropriate for pre-schoolers.
Haters gone hate.
It's really not hating it's just facts. hp and webos are really just middle of the road compared to whats out there in ios and android!
We're just waiting for HP to hand WebOS to another comapany. They're slogan may be HP-Invent, but there is not inventive about their culture or resources. They're a commodity wholesaler, selling the same-old, same-old on razor thin margins with lots of advertising. To be inventive, you have to embrace your beta users, your developers, and take your lumps to build a following. Something HP is clearly running counter-strategy to.
It's a trainwreck, and Leo is asleep in the locomotive. How long will his hand-picked BOD put up with it?
seems like this belongs in the android forums, it would be useful to people to who switched and miss some of the webos features.
But it seems more like they are saying android getting features like webos they hope they get more so that ....... I don't know, i'm confused.
Worst article ever in my opinion.
What's there to be confused about? People are throwing the towel in on WebOS and many of them are moving to Android (especially on Sprint). Derek is showing them how to duplicate some WebOS functionality on their new phones.
> Worst article ever in my opinion.
I still think the "time to party" article is far worse:
Worst article? Have the courage to face reality. HP has failed to sell a fantastic product, now the imitators will take the ball and run with it. You are watching the endgame, dont hold your breath waiting for happy stories.
I'm not sure who you're directing your response to, but yes, "time to party" is definitely the worst article I've seen here. Why? Because back in May -- back before having any indication that the TP or even Veer were going to be successful, and before any word about anything to do with the Pre3 -- we were being told that its party time by Tim Stiffler-Dean.
Did you mean to say that Tim doesn't have the courage to face reality?
It's still funny to read his articles. His spin on the cost cutting at Costco was pretty good. As much as HP is heading near the end of the webOS line, Precentral isn't doing much better. The forums are a joke. The mods are clueless. The frontpage is pathetic with "writers" like Tim & Derek and contributions of Estaban and his idiot musings about a Touchpad being his only device.
Can't quit now with the ending in sight.
Where can I install this in Preware? Oh, wait.
Get your act together PreCentral, this is PATHETIC.
The atmosphere in the forums have already been ruined beyond repair, and now we get Android on the frontpage?
Where's my suitcase?
Uh, are we reading the same forum? The same one where mods treat the community like children? The same one where WebOS boosters are given free reign to belligerently attack people while anyone who politely posts anything that doesn't distort reality finds their posts edited or deleted? The same forum where at least 1 mod openly taunts people that disagree with HP's direction before locking the post to ensure they have the last word? The forum where people who are unhappy with their ~$600 purchase are called whiners before having their post jettisoned to the "General Complaints" thread?
That forum?
I guess there is so little news for webos precentral has to report news for the competition? I guess this coincides well with the root access that was done for the evo 3d.
Times are a changin'
Yeah, nice hint for people switching from webOS to Android and missing this feature...
Errm - what was the purpose of this page again?
I don't get the complaints on this one. It is simply showing one way that webOS has affected the competition. Every time webOS has an effect on the competition it *could* mean that webOS matters a bit more. How is that a bad thing?
Lighten up on Derek you passive aggressive nerds :) Seriously, I took it as a competitor borrowing great ideas from WebOS. Remember the playbook articles?
What I would REALLY love is to just port webOS to any of those Android superphones!
As the others have said, we all love webOS here, but we're getting tired of all this inactivity by HP.
Absolutely! Oh how I would LOVE to have webOS running on HTC Desire S or Galaxy S2!
The imitation going on is heartening in that it confirms some of the great elements of webos we know and love. But it also stirs the anger at what seem like major missteps by HP. The veer case in point. Was in an ATT store today and asked sales guy how veer sales were going. he said his manager swore by it and seemed to be great little phone BUT at that size it primarily drew the interest of teens looking for an easy to use smart phone. The problem? For that market it's priced too high. Sales guy said it needed to be 50 bucks. At 99, too much for kid crowd. He said nobody buys on OS. iPhone is status symbol, droid moves because it's marketed hard. RIM has lost cachet. I don't understand why his basic understanding of consumer behavior appears to not be understood by HP. He did say he thought the TP would be a good seller IF it was priced right.
So an article like this makes me mostly shake my head as webos strengths are incorporated by others and HP fails to fully deploy it's financial strength to get leading apps on the platform or it's engineering prowess to give us top level hardware or it's business savvy to correctly meet the demands of the smartphone market.
Bingo. This is why I hate the "it's a marathon, not a sprint" line. To win a marathon, you still have to run faster than the competition. If HP keeps moving too slow it gives the competition time to improve their strengths (and that includes incorporating some of HP's strengths).
HP needs to remember that *everyone else* sees it as a marathon as well and the competition has been steadily increasing their pace.
Maybe HP is just aiming to "complete" the marathon rather than "win" it. Then again, Apotheker did say something about being better than number one.
With the launch of hundreds of different smart phone models and the growing no. of tablets running on Android application framework, Google continues to face the fragmentation challenge. Android's enormous and open app market allows users to download and try free apps. Android application development took place for various devices with different nature and sizes; it was likely that a few Android apps won't run on all the devices.
Rather than going through the whole process of loading your device with apps and returning them, Google opted for a better option. Some changes reflect on the tidy web-based Android market. The Droid market would show the app compatibility along with its features. Although, there is no formal announcement about this feature, we took it for a spin. Google will show if any or all of your Android devices will support the app.

This is actually nothing new. I don't know when it was introduced, but my HTC Hero, which is running CM 6.something, has it - it may have been improved, though, in 7.x.
hmmm, gotta agree, I dont think this post should be on the front page of precentral..
just seems like a post to stir things up
Why? It should be a validation of the UI you're using and nothing more. HP has two absolutely cracking (snicker) phones available now - one each - on the two biggest US carriers.
If they aren't tempting WebOS fans to switch to them moreso than Derek's article about a mod that's applicable to SOME Android devices, then that's pretty much a HP/Palm problem, not Derek's.
Great article, Derek. Keep them coming! Life as a Sprint user may not be so bad after all.
Thank you!
Man, hate on a brother for letting us know what the competition is doing? Wow...
Pretty funny you mentioned webOS 3.0 when there is no phone in existence or even announced that can run it!
I didn't realize that was a new feature they'd just added. I've only ever used CM7.1 RC1 when I got a Nook Color.
he is not just letting us know what the competition is doing. There was a lot of love there, sounded like a kid who just got to first base and can't wait to score. Worst article ever.
Wouldn't you be happy if one of your favorite features from WebOS found its way to a platform with a future?

"Quick: how do you dismiss individual notifications on stock Android?
Time's up. You can't. "
Yes I can - I press that notification, and then I press "Back" button. Simple as that. Nowhere near as slick as webOS, but works OK. Kinda like the whole Android system.
...and do not forget about "Itching thumbs" task manager, which works exactly like cards flicking on webOS, PLUS it has gestures area that allows you to start pre-configured apps by drawing gestures on it, for example you draw "G" to start gMail from your "card view", even if gMail is not currently running. Quite slick & productive feature, if you ask me.
...seems like less & less unique webOS features left to clutch on. Like they say, "if you are not moving ahead, you are moving backwards"...

Wiz Khalifa Reiterates His Love For "Relaxing" In New Song "Mary 3x"
February 23, 2012 2:02 PM
[photogallerylink id=135642]
Another sampling from Wiz Khalifa's upcoming Taylor Allderdice mixtape so soon?
We weren't expecting to hear about Khalifa's virtual "marriage" to his "merry-making" marijuana habit in "Mary 3X" after the stunning "Morocco," but Khalifa is apparently trying to stack up his M's.
And just like "Morocco," both the beat and rhymes on "Mary 3x" are mmm-mmm-good.
- What do you think of "Mary 3x?" Let us know in the comments!

Bit of Aqua, Bit of Green, Mix it All Up FOTD
Thought I'd take a quick break from work and post an FOTD! I'm staying late tonight to do billing and it's driving me bonkers! Ahhh the sweet relief that blogging brings!
I've no idea what I got going on here but I ended up screwing it all up rather badly 😉
Oh well!
A mix of color! It's been a while in between bold looks for me!
What I Used:
Pout Blush in Cherie Tarte
Lavshuca Jewel Lips Lipstick in Pk-2
Esprique Precious Rouge Stylish Gloss in Pk 822
MAC Eyeshadow in Waternymph
MAC Eyeshadow in Wondergrass
MAC Eyeshadow in Blue Storm
MAC Pigment in Kelly Green
Excel Mascara
Vincent Longo Wet Diamond Sparkling Eyeshadow in Sparkle White
Wish me luck with my billing and hope I get out of here before 10! It's a long and winding road………………….*sings*
1/17/08 21:25 Row:
I loveee it. I recently acquired Waternymph from Ebay so I will definately try it out now. Is wondergrass limited edition?

1/18/08 6:48 the Muse:

1/18/08 8:29 MandyPandy:
Ah, Pout. The memories. I was at Victoria's Secret last week and they had a ton of Pout merchandise: creme blushes, eyeshadows, highlighters, lipglosses and bronzer. They even had some Pout toiletries and fragrances which I don't recall seeing at VS (or the US) before. Ever.
Wait, Waternymph? Wondergrass?!? Boo! Hiss! We wants Pistachio, preshessss! We must haves it! Shows it to us!
On an off note: would you ever consider doing a red eye, a la 'Kindly Miss Guem-ja' from Lady Vengeance? IDK, it was an awesome movie and that eyeshadow looks amazing! Then again, red is not exactly the most popular e/s shade…
Oh yes, and finally I posted my review of Mineral Power up!
1/18/08 13:45 the Muse:

Oooo fab idea! I'd love to recreate that look! I used to have the movie poster over my desk…should I admit that here? Probably not. Don't want to admit I'm that much of a geek!
I actually don't have such a true red as the one used but I can try!
Most of my reds are cranberry mixes! But I'll see what I can creates!
YAY! I'm off to read it in two shakes 😉
1/18/08 17:07 MandyPandy:

The Mangalitsa Pig Cookbook Just Out
"The Mangalitsa Pig: Royalty is coming to America" is just out.
Read the introduction and check it out on Amazon.
History of Mangalitsa Film Official Trailer
History of Mangalitsa film premiered in Budapest in March. Anna Melocco and her team did a awesome job! Please watch the trailer.
Coming Soon: The Royal Mangalitsa
We are currently working on a new website for The Royal Mangalitsa. Check back soon. In the meantime, check us out on Facebook!
The Mangalitsa Connection
It was impossible to legally acquire Mangalitsa breeding stock from Hungary until 2014, when we finally reached an agreement between Pure Mangalitsa LLC & MOE, the Hungarian National Association of Mangalitsa Breeders, to that effect. But importing live pigs directly from Hungary to the U.S. is still impossible due to the lack of a formal protocol between the USDA and the Hungarian Health Authorities. Fortunately, Hungary is now part of the European Union (E.U.) and many Western European countries do have established protocols.
Thanks to social media, and Facebook in particular, I got to meet Barbara. I met her in person on a trip to Austria and Hungary in January 2014, I did not have to ask her twice about cooperating with us to establish a truly diversified and sustainable population in North America.

At St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, the journey to healing begins with one child. From the tiniest infant to the teenager on the brink of adulthood, each child who takes that path here, along with his or her family, is guided by caring, compassionate advocates every step of the way.
When children come through our doors, they enter a medical world dedicated to them -- physically, emotionally and every other way that matters.
Along their journey, children meet accessible, understanding, experienced professionals who have spent their lives focusing on children's health and their respective specialties. Doctors who look beyond the medical charts to see the child within. Nurses who put children's needs first. Staff members who make the path easy and understandable.
Even our physical spaces are designed to put children at ease in an intimate, homelike, high-touch setting. Jungle murals decorate our walls. Train tracks point the way to different areas of the hospital. Tropical fish provide a relaxing focal point for patients. Services are clustered locally to make it easier for children undergoing multiple procedures.
We're here because we want the best for the children we serve. Get to know us the way we get to know the children we care for.
The journey begins here.

USC starting linebacker done for the season
USC's already-depleted roster has taken a couple more hits.
Interim coach Ed Oregeron announced Wednesday that starting linebacker Lamar Dawson would miss the rest of the 2013 season after suffering a knee injury in practice on Tuesday. He will undergo surgery to repair the damage in the near future.
Dawson, a junior from Junction City, Ky. had started all seven games for the Trojans this season and is tied for fourth on the team with 35 tackles. He was also credited with 3.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
The loss of Dawson comes on the heels of news that freshman tailback Justin Davis would miss the remainder of the season following surgery to repair an ankle injury.
Davis, the Trojans' second-leading rusher, suffered the injury during USC's 14-10 loss at Notre Dame on Saturday.

Nestled in the heart Yaletown–of one of Vancouver's most covetable neighborhoods on the doorstep of downtown–is an exotic retreat that takes you on a a sensorial journey to the East. Aruhndara boutique is a treasure trove of the finest bath and body products carefully selected by owners with purpose. What you won't find here are overstocked shelves of haphazardly selected and displayed products; no, here you will find a refined collection of delectable scents displayed for optimal enjoyment on custom cases. This is a boutique that takes pride in its ambience and ability to make visitors feel completely relaxed and welcome. No detail is overlooked!
I had the privilege of meeting with boutique owner Khanita Chakritthakoon and experienced first hand her passion for high quality products and service. The tour she gave me of her store and inventory were a testament to her extensive knowledge of spa products, not mentioning her fifteen years experience in the spa industry both in Bangkok and Vancouver, including her time working for the prominent Shangri-La hotel spa. I was personally treated her wondrous Thai neck and shoulder massage ministrations in the quaint sitting area in the middle of the store and felt weeks of tension easing out of my muscles.
Aruhndara carries products from the exclusive Erb luxury skincare that are 95% natural (although the facial care line is completely organic) and formulated with the highest quality herbs and oils. Even the wicks in the candles are completely coton so that you are not breathing in or burning toxins.
My current favourite item carried at Aruhndara is the Spice & Shine Light Body Cream that is naturally perfumed with spicy and intoxicating ginger and marigold. The invigorating effects of ginger awaken my senses and is beautifully coupled with the soothing properties of marigold. This scent settles to a sensual subtly and lingers on my skin for hours. Since using this product I have forgone my usual perfume as I didn't want to mask the beauty of the scent. The rough patches on my hands and elbows are quickly fading and giving way to smooth and glowing skin.
Whether you are lover of spicy heady scents (ginger, bergamot, sandalwood) or clean and fragrant (jasmine, lemongrass, mint), Aruhndara has something that will please you. Take a break from those manufactured and chemical laden body creams churned out en masse and make everyone smell the same and treat yourself to something completely indulgent and original with long term benefits.

Biglaw, Layoffs, Start Dates, Wildman Harrold
Wildman Harrold has decided to give a majority of its incoming associates the Fox. Am Law Daily reports that the firm has rescinded offers to 10 of its 14 associates. Unlike Arent Fox, Wildman will not be giving its would-be incoming associates any stipend.
On the Wildman Harrold career page, they really like numbers. They evidently haven't had a chance to update their summer associate page; they're probably busy with fall recruiting. So I figured I'd give them a hand.
Wildman, by the numbers:
* 10 – Number of offers rescinded to class of 2009 associates (out of 14).
* 4 – Number of offers extended to 2009 summer associates (out of 17).
* 10 – Number of lawyers laid off in January 2009.
* 10 – Number of lawyers laid off in April 2009.
Wildman is a Chicago based firm. Yesterday, we told you that the Illinois bar results were out. You don't think that Wildman rescinded offers right after the bar results came out do you? More details after the jump.
Yesterday, I said:
Granted, becoming a new lawyer in this market is kind of like going to the morgue to score a date. But passing the bar on your first try is probably more important now than it has been in the past. We don't know how many firms are planning on giving their incoming associates the Bird or the Fox; young lawyers don't want to give firms any excuse to leave them out in the cold.
Obviously, I shouldn't have been so optimistic. Wildman was so eager to revoke offers that the firm needed to step on incoming associates' hopes and dreams immediately. A tipster reports:
As IL bar exam results came in today, a large majority of the deferred incoming class at Chicago firm and ATL favorite Wildman Harrold was called and informed that their services were no longer required. I got the call not more than 20 minutes after I got my results. I passed, so it could have been worse. Can you imagine, though, JUST hearing that you had failed the bar exam and getting that call. This, to me, is possibly the most tactless thing I have heard of a firm doing in this already-exceptional 10 month period.
This sounds like a joke, but I assure you it isn't, … I am mortified that they wouldn't wait a week, or at least a couple of hours.
How do you think that conversation went?
WILDMAN: Hello, can I speak to our next associate?
BAR PASSER: Hi there. Funny that you called. I have some great news. I just passed the bar!
BAR PASSER: I mean, of course I knew I would, but still, it's pretty cool.
WILDMAN: Yeah, you know the office we had set up for you? We're going to have to move some boxes in there. We need the storage space.
BAR PASSER: Umm, that's cool. No problem. I'm just so excited to start working.
WILDMAN: About that.
BAR PASSER: Are you going to extend my deferral period?
WILDMAN: No.
BAR PASSER: Awesome. I've been reading Above the Law, and I know that some firms are doing that to people.
WILDMAN: Oh, that makes this a lot easier. You've been Foxed. Sorry about that. Goodbye.
BAR PASSER: Hello. … Hello? …
Seriously, why would a firm revoke offers to people on the day they passed the bar? I know it's a tough economy, but there simply has to be a better way to deal with difficult business decisions.

Larry Hagman
Sandy on November 24th, 2012
Dallas star Larry Hagman has died at the age of 81. The actor, who was famed for playing J.R. Ewing on the hit show, died at a Dallas hospital on Friday after complications with his recent battle with throat cancer. He is survived by wife Maj, who he married in 1952. In 2008, Maj was […]
Sandy on November 21st, 2012
Millions of people tuned in to the hit CBS primetime drama "Dallas" 32 years ago today to find out who shot J.R Ewing known as J.R, the one people loved to hate. J.R. had been shot on the season-ending episode the previous March, and probably stands as television's most famous cliffhangers. I can't think of […]

Aeonium 'Zwartkop' is a branching shrub that produces magnificent, almost black-purple, succulent, leaf rosettes at the ends of its branches. Aeoniums are natives of Madeira, the Canary Islands and North Africa, climates that do not experience sub-zero temperatures. Consequently plants will need protection in the UK during winter. Aeoniums make excellent summer bedding plants since their architectural shape contrasts well with most other bedding plants. They can also be used effectively planted in containers. Water plants sparingly, especially in winter, because they are adapted to dry conditions, their succulent leaves store water for the plant to use during dry periods.

So said Miss Peggy Lee. With her platinum cool and inimitable whisper, she sold twenty million records and presided over music's greatest generation alongside pals Frank Sinagra and Bing Crosby. Albert Einstein adored her; Duke Ellington dubbed her "the Queen."
Drawing on exclusive interviews and never-before-available information, the author delivers a complex, compelling portrait that begins in Depression-era North Dakota with a girl named Norma who is plagued by loss, her father's alcoholism, and her stepmother's abuse. One day she boards a train, following her muse and hoping her music will lead her someplace better. It does.

Customer questions about this product
- My business is at a high elevation; does this change anything when I order gas cooking equipment?
- Many gas equipment manufacturers need to make adjustments to the equipment so it operates correctly at elevations over 2,000 feet. Sometimes we can special order from the manufacturer and have your cooking equipment delivered ready-to-go, but in other cases, you'll need to have a qualified service technician come to your location and alter your unit at the time of installation so that it is compatible with a higher elevation. Contact our Special Orders team prior to placing your order, and we will let you know what will work best for the equipment you are planning to purchase.
Thanks to its powerful, 105,000 BTU heating system and ample 5 gallon tank, this Hatco PMG-100 Powermite booster heater provides all of the hot final rinse water you need to properly sanitize and flash-dry dishes and flatware. The Hatco PMG-100 Powermite booster heater is designed for use with 2 tank conveyor dishwashers. Its innovative burner system uses both primary and secondary air for consistent ignition every time.
The Hatco PMG-100 Powermite booster heater is UL Listed. Choose fuel type. Please consult the Specification Sheet for additional details and important installation requirements. A sizing chart is included at the end of the Spec Sheet to help you match the correct booster heater to your needs.
Water Quality Requirements: Incoming water exceeding 3.0 grains of hardness per gallon (GPG) must be treated and softened before being supplied to the booster heater.

Reciprocal Exchange Program
Founded in 1887, NSCAD University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada offers qualified Textile/Surface Design students the opportunity to study screen printing and woven and painted design, earning 15 major area credits. Stressing creative experimentation and concept development, this specialized exchange program includes courses in intermediate textiles, drawing, and crafts of England, Europe, and North America. Independent study opportunities are also offered. Students pay FIT tuition and fees.
Fall Term: February 15th
Spring Term: October 1st
• Matriculation in a Bachelor's degree program.
• Textile/Surface Design Students must obtain academic advisement and the approval of the department Chairperson.
Fall Term: October — December
NSCAD Academic Dates
Located in the heart of downtown Halifax's cultural, financial and shopping district, NSCAD University does not maintain student residences. Students are therefore responsible for making their own housing arrangements in the Halifax/Dartmouth area. Affordable housing exists in a variety of neighborhoods within a short walking distance to the campus. Most students rent furnished rooms from private owners or share an apartment, flat or house with other students.
With five universities in the city, many students are seeking apartments at the start of the fall and winter semesters, so it's wise to start searching at least two weeks before classes begin. Accommodations are generally much easier to find at the start of the summer semester in May."NSCAD Housing/Services

Well, that was a crazy 72 hours, eh?
A lot has happened in Knicks-land, so let's take a minute to try and recap all the deals that went down.
The Knicks chose to amnesty Chauncey Billups, and his $14.2 million expiring contract, to make cap-space for Tyson Chandler. Billups was not too pleased (courtesy of Ian O'Connar).
- On facing Knicks in playoffs: "I would like a chance at them, I'll tell you that much. I'd absolutely love that."
- On Knicks being championship contenders: "I think they are probably a couple of pieces short, but I wont say what those pieces are."
- On being wanted: "From the first day I got there, it was about who was going to be next point-guard, without giving me a real chance…"
- On being the difference maker last year: "If I'm healthy versus Boston, we've got a really good chance in that series. But once I got hurt…"
- On retiring: "If I get claimed by a team I dont want to play for, I would absolutely consider retirment."
- On being a mentor for a young point-guard: "I'm still playing at a high level. I'm not interested in going somewhere to be a mentor coming off the bench."
Tyson Chandler was acquired by the Knicks in a three-team sign-and-trade.
- The Knicks recieved Tyson Chandler, a trade exception from the Wizards, which they renounced, as well as the rights to Ahmad Nivins and Giorgos Printezis.
- The Mavericks received Andy Rautins, Wizards' 2012 protected second-round draft pick, and a big juicy trade exception, which they used to acquire the disgruntled Lamar Odom from the Lakers.
- The Wizards received Ronny Turiaf, Knicks' 2013 second-round pick, as well as cash to pay off a portion of Turiaf's contract.
The Knicks withdrew their $1.1 million qualifying offer to Derrick Brown, who was quickly swooped up by his former team, the Charlotte Bobcats.
Last season, the Bobcats cut Derrick Brown expecting him to clear waivers and rejoin the team. However, to their surprise, the Knicks signed Brown. Unfortunately, for Brown, and for Knicks fans wanting to see him play, Mike D'Antoni rarely played him.
I like Derrick. He is a high-intensity player that makes all of the hustle plays. I would have loved to see him back in New York as a bench player, but I guess the Bobcats assured him he would be played.
Good luck in Charlotte, Derrick!
More after the jump!
Tyson Chandler was signed to a four-year, $58 million contract, which was officially announced on Saturday at 2PM.
Chandler signed a hefty contract. Some believe he is not worth it, but you have to remember that you always over-pay for centers, and he fits the Knicks' needs perfectly.
While Chandler may not be very exciting if you look at the stat sheet (he is a career 8 points and 9 rebounds guy), he brings defensive prowess, as well as leadership.
Chandler will be a nice compliment to Amare Stoudemire, who will now be able to move to his natural position of power-forward, and will be the defensive cornerstone of the Knicks' lineup.
In my opinion, this was a pickup they had to make, and made the Knicks exponentially better.
Iman Shumpert and Josh Harrellson were signed to their rookie deals.
Nice! Now that they are signed, get ready to see them in NBA 2K12!
I'm excited to see if Shumpert can live up to all the hype that surrounds him. We know that, in college, Shumpert was a lock-down perimeter defender, but also a chucker. It's going to be interesting to see how Shumpert's game translates from the college to professional level.
For Jorts, I'm just curious to see if he will be used in the Knicks' rotation at all. I can see him filling Shelden Williams', now vacant, role on the team. While he may not be the most athletic guy on the roster, hopefully he can use his size to pester opposing bigs.
Shelden Williams signs one-year deal with the Nets for the veteran-minimum.
I really liked Shelden and was hoping he would return.
He was a smart player that knew how to use his body, and he contributed solid minutes towards the end of last year, when Mike D'Antoni started to play him.
I'm going to miss you, and your large-forehead, Shelden!
Jared Jeffries was re-signed to a one-year deal, valued at $1.4 million.
By now, you know what to expect from Jared: He will try his best on both sides of the floor, but will never be trusted to even attempt a lay-up. He's another 7-footer, so I see no harm in bringing him back for the veteran-minimum.
Andy Rautins was cut by the Mavericks.
Upon arrival to Dallas, Andy Rautins was cut by the Mavericks.
I like Andy, but he hasn't shown that he has the skills to play in the NBA. However, that could also be due to the fact that he hasn't gotten a reasonable amount of game-time.
I'm curious as to whether the Knicks will bring Andy back, or if they will move on from the former Syracuse guard.
Wherever you end up, good luck, Andy!
Anthony Carter signs a one-year deal with the Toronto Raptors.
Anthony proved to be an option at the point in last season's playoff matchup against the Boston Celtics. I thought that Carter would have earned a spot on the roster for the upcoming season, due strictly to his performance against Boston, but I guess the front-office believes Bibby is a better option.
Good luck in Toronto, Anthony!
After adding two 7-footers to the roster (Jeffries and Chandler), the Knicks purchased Jerome Jordan back from Slovenia.
Exciting! Many Knicks fans have been anticipating the day Jerome Jordan returns to the states and plays for the Knicks.
After uncovering a diamond in the rough in Mozgov last year, Knicks fans hope that Jordan can mature into a Mozgov-esque player.
He has not yet signed with the team, but I'm hearing it's just a matter of the logistics being sorted out.
Roger Mason Jr. has signed with the Washington Wizards for the vet-min.
Well, right as "How u" caught on, Roger left NY. Oh well… Good luck in Washington, Roger!
Mike Bibby has been saved from his nursing home, and was signed to a one-year deal at the veteran-minimum.
Well, he's no Chris Paul, but he's a viable backup for Toney Douglas, considering he signed for the veteran-minimum (It took me quite some time to warm up to this signing).
Got all that?

"Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth." Proverbs 6:2
Em outras palavras, whether good or bad, our words dominate us. Confession is a very important part of our faith and Hebrews 11:6 tells us that God requires that we have faith to please Him. We can increase our faith by hearing God's Word according to Romans 10:17 "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
How do our words affect our faith walk? Romanos 10:10 diz, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is make unto salvation." Confession is made for whatever we need whether it is salvation, provision, cura, protection etc, etc.
Jesus said in Mark 11:22, "Have faith in God. In the Greek this phrase literally says, "Have the faith of God." Or we could say, "Have the God-kind of faith."
The God-kind of faith is described in Mark 11:23: "For verily I say unto you, Que todo aquele que disser a este monte, Sê removido, e lança-te ao mar; e não duvidar no seu coração, but shall believe those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."
All of us would like to possess the blessings without any effort on our part. We would like to receive the blessings before confessing them, but Jesus said, "He shall have whatsoever he saith" (Marca 11:23). At the time we make a faith confession, we don't have in the natural what we confess. This is because confession precedes possession. We must confess and agree with God's Word first in order to bring the thing we desire into the realm of reality.
Hebreus 11:1 diz, "We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak." Notice that the Apostle Paul didn't say we are trying or hoping to get the same spirit of faith. And he didn't say someday we might get it. Paulo disse, WE HAVE the same spirit of faith. That is present tense, which means we have it NOW!
What is this spirit of faith that we have? We believe and therefore we speak. Believing and speaking the Word is operating is the same principle of faith Jesus talked about in Mark 11:23. We see this principle in the story of the woman with the issue of blood. Ela disse, "If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole" (Mateus 9:21). She got exactly what she believed and what she said!
Realize your words will either make you a victor in life or hold you captive. Learn to talk in line with the Word of God. Confess scripture that promises what you desire, and watch your faith rise to the level of your confession!

My thoughts on the "Daughtry Rule" on American Idol
It took them a few years to figure out how to make sure this never happens again, and the new rule is it. One time in a season the judges can save an eliminated contestant from America's vote. Instead no one goes home, and two go the next week. I think the idea is solid, but the execution creates more emotional chaos with each eliminated contestant. Now you can get your heart broken by Ryan, raise your hopes again with your performance and then get dashed again by the judges. Two, count them, two shattered dreams in each show!
Plus it makes the judges look like dicks when they tell someone "No." They should make the decision before the results are read and have Ryan just announce it all at once. Of course, there is a benefit from the double-dreams-dashing we have now. Contestants won't be singing their song on the verge of tears as they imagine their inevitable path to oblivion. Instead they can sing as if their lives depended on it (because they do), hoping against hope that they're the next Chris Daughtry in the judge's eyes.
Next, they need to come up with a rule where the judges can force someone home who's long outstayed their welcome. They can call that one the "Sanjaya Rule."
