Misc. Comments
Quartet no.2 exists in a manuscript version for Lute and String Trio (Quartetto a Liuto obligato, Augsburg Stadtbibliothek) and published in 1924 by H.D.Bruger (Kallmeyer edition) without his realizing its origin. The lute part was produced by some contemporary of Haydn by the simple expedient of combining the Violin and the bass parts but an octave lower than the original parts which is why a corrected arrangement of the quartet for lute (or guitar) and string trio was made by Karl Scheit in 1959 (Doblinger, 1960, plate D.10.152).

Shiseido Maquillage Watery Clash Eyes Review
Shiseido has quite a few different brands available exclusive to the Japanese market one of which is Maquillage. I know I've mentioned that before and many of you already know it as you're as passionate about Japanese Cosmetics as I am however I thought it deserved a remention in my introduction because I have quite a flow of newer readers visiting with me lately and I thought that'd be a nice little way to introduce this review plus give them a little info about the brand.
Maquillage is not my favorite brand in the Shiseido line (I'm sure you can guess which my favorite is…go on comment and tell me!). For me Maquillage is a hit or miss sadly. Some products are really good and some aren't so great. The price range is lovely, the packaging is fabulous, but the actual products are sometimes too sheer or not particularly the best quality in the world. I'm not that big a fan of the shadow compacts, the liners, or the glosses. However, I do give a better portion of my money to Maquillage on a rare occasion!
Today I'm reviewing Watery Crash Eyes from Maquillage. I don't follow Maquillage as much as I do other Japanese brands so when something new is released I know of it but not when it was released so I'm unsure which collection these are from.
A very sweet friend of mine did some personal shopping for me in Tokyo last week and she picked up Watery Crash Eyes as a request from me. Sadly, I'm not quite so into it. The lemming for this came from the fact that it reminded me of Chanel's Ombre D'eau Fluid Eyeshadow but the Maquillage price is much more affordable. The color selection isn't vast by any means and this particular product is only offered in 5 colors. I got the PK213 which is a beautiful baby pink color.
Now I can't fairly give this a poor review. The reason for that is the product is actually good and the problem is that I'm just too bloody picky with cosmetics.
The texture and formula is wonderful as it blends a real treat however a few things I don't like about it are the finish which is more of a shine than a shimmer if that makes sense, I'm also not loving how much I need to use to get color onto my lid as this is very sheer, and finally I'm just not enjoying the total look it created for me.
As I was saying it blends very well, just dot and smooth on. The texture is thick and creamy. All and all I see no problem with the formula however it's lack of shimmer kind of disappointed me. I should mention that I'm not a fan of cream shadows and honestly the main reason I had purchased this was because it not only reminded me of the Chanel but also Visee's Aqua Shining Eyes so I was kinda hopeful this would be as good a quality as both of those.
The product is sheer so you have to do at least three layers to get some color onto your lid. One layer will not do much of anything. I noticed that it doesn't dry fast either which is a good thing because if you mess up while blending you can easily go back and smooth your finger around a bit more without worrying about it being dry and messing the entire look up. This is particularly nice as well when you're layering the color because you're not packing color onto an already "dry" look.
My final look when I was done layering and blending wasn't exactly great. No pop sadly. But as I said I can't give it a bad review because the formula is very good (especially the fact it stays wet so long before setting which makes for ease of application). I'm just a nitpicker because I enjoy a bit more shimmer and the look I achieved was more of a shiny, neutral look!
If you enjoy simplicity without shimmer or pop this might very well be something you'd enjoy using. For myself I'm not loving it at the moment but I'm going to continue using it to see how I feel after a few weeks!
Here's what I created using Watery Clash Eyes:
Maquillage Watery Clash Eyes in PK213
Visee Mascara
Bobbi Brown Lip and Cheek Rouge in Pink Raspberry
Bobbi Brown Lipgloss in Pink Popsicle
Bare Minerals Blush in Fruit Cocktail
Love Maquillage?
Own this already?
Adore it?
Hate it?
Tell the Muse!

Hey Sweetie!
I do like the look!! It�s very sweet and your eyes look lovely. I will check Watery Clash online, maybe I�ll get one or two.
Thanks for the review and hugs!
Eru :3
3/28/08 11:34 Becky:
I don't know the product but I looks nice on your eyes. I'm not a fan of creamy or liquid eyeshadows (not even MAC paint pots.) It always looks messy on my eyes.
3/28/08 12:00 titty:
LOVE the Bobbi Brown lippies on you! They're adorable. I also love the blush but stay away from Bare Minerals as I tend to break out from it.
3/28/08 12:22 Jennifer:
i think it looks really nice! i actually have a few of the chanels, and can't seem to love them. i lighter colors are too sheer and pretty much don't show up on my at all, and the darker colors tend to look a little streaky on me. they've pretty much been sitting in my eyeshadow drawer untouched.
yesterday i wore the MJ mascara i got thanks to you a few months back and got so many compliments on my eyes. so thanks!
i can't seem to find the IM feature anymore. did you decide to do away with it or move it?
3/28/08 12:27 cat who got the cream:
He he, your favorite Shiseido brand is Kate.
3/28/08 12:30 the Muse:
hiya eru!
Thanks so much I think actually you can skip them if they are high costing as I'm not completely in love with them 😛
3/28/08 12:32 the Muse:
hiya becks.
YAY! I'm so happy you said that as I'm not a big fan of PP's either! Damn everyone likes 'em we are in the minority my friend! I don't like liquids or creams myself but I do like one particular brand that does a cream shadow which is Visee those are great. Which led me to purchase this particular cream shadow but it's a bust. I'm not liking it all that much
3/28/08 12:33 the Muse:
titty where ya been love?
thanks so much *hug*
I keep away from the foundations and sometimes blushes myself (I only own a few of the blushes) as I break out as well.
Thanks for the comment!
Missed you!
3/28/08 12:34 the Muse:
Hey Jen Jen!
Happy Weekend (bit early 😉
I'm glad you said that as it kills my lemming to buy any. I wasn't feeling the 30 buck price tag either.
aww wow that's so great Jennifer I'm glad you're enjoying MJ 😉 It's a fav of mine!
IM is temporarily moved while I debate on it 😉 however if you have some other messenging service give a yell and I can add you up and we can chitchat!
3/28/08 12:35 the Muse:
hi cat who got the cream!
Almost my friend but not quite 😉
Guess again?
KATE is one of my favorites but Kanebo actually makes KATE 😉
good guess though!
3/28/08 12:45 PaoPao:
I don't like watery eye shadows very much… a make up artist frind of mine simply hates them!
I didn't know about Maquillage!
Lots of hugs!
3/28/08 13:51 the Muse:
hiya pao pao!
Ditto. I'm not much for creams myself or liquids but this made me curious some! I should have known it wasn't so fab.
Maquillage is actually a Japanese brand consider yourself educated hehe!
Lots of hugs back!
3/28/08 13:53 the Muse:
what's up duck?
Thanks love. I hate it, makes me look fat 😛 too much pink blah.
What's the gossip 😉 Dead curious.
I'll try to catch up with you later but please get to sleep early! k?
love you too.
3/28/08 23:22 Anonymous:
nice sweet pink look.
sometimes i supsect maquillage products are made to be sheer on purpose. coz that is the prefered look and texture?
3/29/08 1:41 Anonymous:
This is fun! Off the cuff, I think your fav is (was?) Majolica Majorca, but the past few collections weren't nearly as exciting, so I'm guessing it's Lavshuca. LOL. I do know you adore the Visee quads dearly though!
3/29/08 6:42 cheryl:
hi there, muse. i'm visiting your blog for the first time & i got it bookmarked rite away cos u've got so much content here! i'm also kind of looking for someone who's EXTREMELY picky, haha, so i can completely trust your reviews. wonderful!
3/29/08 12:13 petitebelle:
so cute! And so much pink! 😛 That looks a lot like the Chanel liquid eyeshadow things. Even the packagings are similar!
3/29/08 16:01 Mandee:
I was wondering what eyeliner do you recommend tht's safe for the waterline???
p.s. love the look so pink n sweet! PERFECT FOR SPRING
Well, it's PINK, so I love it! I need something like this since I'm so leary at doing my eye makeup! Lookin' good as usual mama!
3/29/08 20:41 Critty:
Your eyes look nice, but the lips and cheeks steal the show – great colours on you! I think something was lost in translation with "Watery Crash" that does not say eyeshadow to me … more of a horrible shipwreck! Lol. Thanks for another Japanese lesson

OMG, I'm glad I found a non-fan of paint pots. Everybody I know (well the make-up lovers anyway…) are so excited about the PP but they really don't work for me. I apply it with a MAC brush (don't have the number with me and I'm to lazy to go upstairs)but it's always smudgy and creasy, hate it. Bobbi Brown has also some kind of creme-eyeshadow but I haven't tried it.
Have a happy sunday!
3/30/08 4:24 Aya:
Hey bella! I really like this look! Sorry you didn't like the e/s too much, but hey, you still have all those other Visee ones to try Can't wait to see the looks you come up with! Lotsa luv <3
3/30/08 8:32 Bliss:
Oooo verryyy Pretty FOTD from you :D, first thing that came into my mind is Pretty in Pink heheh,definately has a spring feel and the lippie color is very beautiful.
3/30/08 15:44 ' * : . b | u 3 . : * ':
i like the colour and sparkle actually but maybe its too pink for you in real life?
3/31/08 8:33 the Muse:
hi Anonymous!
Thanks 😉 I think indeed that's true but I at least like the option to build color up and it appears difficult to do with Maquillage ;(
Oh well!
Thanks for the comment and for dropping by!
3/31/08 8:35 the Muse:
hiya Anonymous!
Thanks 😉 Very much!
ANd spot on by the way you are correct MJ is indeed my favorite
Lavshuca comes a close 2nd 😉 I agree last few collections haven't been great for MJ or Lavshuca for that matter let's hope for better in the summer!
You know me well anonymous 😉
Thanks for the comment!
Happy Monday!
3/31/08 8:36 the Muse:
hi cheryl!
Thanks for dropping by! I really appreciate you're bookmarking me
I'm very nitpicky and snobbish with cosmetics hehe 😉 So you found your girl!
Thanks so much for the comment and I hope to see you around 😉
3/31/08 8:39 the Muse:
hiya petitebelle!
Thanks sweetie 😉
Very similar but the formula and texture is a little bit different!
Happy Monday!
3/31/08 8:42 the Muse:
hi mandee!
MAC technakohl is safe for the waterline It's what I use. And it's very long wearing as well! And inexpensive depending on if you are in the US 😉
It melts beautifully as well and smudges like a dream!
Aw thanks so much!
3/31/08 8:43 the Muse:
hey amy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks sweetie *hugs* Awwww dive in 😉 You're blonde you can wear anything lucky 😉 Especially beautiful greens and blues 😉
3/31/08 9:17 the Muse:
hey critty!!!!!! I missed you around here 😉
Aw thanks so much! *hugs*
LOL I know weird name! At first I thought maybe it was called watery crush eyes but it's actually watery clash. Oh lord.
LOL 😉 Shipwreck sounds 'bout right 😉
You're most welcome. Thank you for reading my babbling 😉
3/31/08 9:19 the Muse:
hiya becky!
w00t! another hater of PP's! Let's make a club lol!
EVERYBODY I know loves them as well and bitches at me b/c I'm not a big lover. The blend rubbish for me. So hard to blend and difficult to get on and oily and heavy and just gross!
They are so so so difficult to work with it's terrible. I'm so happy someone agrees. I've tried warming, I've tried with a brush, a sponge, nothing works!
Yay for non paint pot lovers 😉
Happy Monday!
3/31/08 9:21 the Muse:
hey aya 😉
how are you love?
Aw no worries honey! I'm trying to love 'em!
I love love love LOVE the visee ones
They are so sparkley and beautiful
I'll be posting some fotds soon with 'em!
Loved your Milani look this morning! You look gorgeous!
3/31/08 9:22 the Muse:
hiya ' * : . b | u 3 . : * '
I love pinks that's the funny thing. It comes out without sparkle which is probably why I am not loving it.
I need me my glitter sparkle dosage 😉
Happy Monday!

Big day for SBG this last Saturday, July 11th. Travis Davison competed in Grapplers Quest Vegas. On Friday Travis entered the absolute division (Travis weighed in around 160), with his first opponent being 260, Travis went on to beat him, and narrowly lose on a 2 point sweep to world champion black belt Cleber Luciano. Travis went on to win bronze in the absolute.
The next day Travis competed in his own weight class and brought home a gold medal!
That same weekend we had three athletes from the Portland Gym drive up to Seattle for the big Pac NW championships. Jonathan Lee and Chris Stearns entered in the purple belt division, and Tim Edman entered in the blue belts. Jonathan beat all five of his opponents for a gold medal win. Chris Stearns (who was awarded his purple just two weeks ago) beat all of his opponents, and faced long time Impact purple belt Andy Wong in the finals. Chris won that match, winning the gold medal. And Tim swept his matches, also winning gold. Three athletes entered, three golds won! Another good day for SBG.

Would like to hear from hikers who have either had to self-evacuate after a tib/fib injury, or who have had to assist another hiker to evacuate after such an injury. Tell me your situation, what did you do to stabilize the injury, how did you get to civilazation? Thanks a bunch!
That's a pretty specific topic. I'm guessing that there aren't a lot of people anywhere who've done that. Are you researching for something, or just trying to convince a SO that you won't die if the titanium rods holding your tib/fib together have to do double duty as tent pegs?
I have been in that situation for a femur injury, but not tib/fib.
Well, for epic tales of self rescue, there's always Doug Scott's retreat from the Ogre
Edited by jcolten on 10/13/2008 17:04:52 MDT.
I've never actually evacuated a real victim, but have simulated it in training. So from a generic point of view, you would stabilize the fracture plus the joints above and below the fracture (ankle and knee) with a splint. In other words, the victim should not be able to move either ankle or knee. I doubt that they would be able to bear weight on the splint either making self evacuation unlikely. You no doubt have read accounts of people doing amazing thinks during an accident, so I would not say that it would be impossible to self evacuate, but it would be extraordinary.
I walked on a broken fibula for 3 days without realizing it was broken. It wasn't anything heroic or super-human, it just felt more like a sprain than a break. I injured it while downhill skiing at a resort, I skied back to the lodge, wrapped it tightly, walked back to my car, and drove back to town. I still have a metal plate and several screws in my left ankle, but it hasn't bothered me.
A friend and coworker was kicked by a horse (not hers) while on an endurance ride last June, and had to ride in afterward. The injury shattered her fibula and broke her tibia clear through; she didn't realize the seriousness of the injury until dismounting at camp many miles later, and was driven to hospital that evening.She finally got the boot off about a week ago and is facing more therapy. The xrays are pretty nifty, and I was surprised how long it took for the bones to knit.My advice: bring a horse, but not a kicking model.
Probably the most amazing story of survival I have ever read is by British climber Joe Simpson. Simpson and climbing partner Simon Yates had just completed the first ascent of Siula Grande and during the descent a fall left Simpson with his tibia smashed through his knee joint. What happens thereafter is almost unbelievable. Yates spent almost the entire night lowering the incapacitated Simpson down the mountain until an error in their navigation saw Yates lower Simpson over a vertical ledge. There he was, dangling in mid air at the end of 100s of feet of rope, slowly and inevitably pulling Yates of the mountain. So, Yates cut the rope. Simpson fell into a deep ice crevasse. The account of how he manages to climb out the crevasses, negotiate the ice fields on the glacier and then crawl the five miles back to base camp are just an unbelievable testament to the man's willpower and courage. All of this with a leg so severely broken that it is several inches shorter than his good one.If you haven't read the book, then do so. Not only is the story itself utterly compelling, Simpson is a highly gifted writer who is able to convincingly impart what it was like to go through such an ordeal. At times I was wincing as he describes what he was experiencing.There was also an excellent movie made of the whole event. It won a swag of awards and is a very faithful representation of Simpson's book. But read the book first.Both book and movie were called "Touching The Void".

kfifo: fix scatterlist usage
The kfifo_dma family of functions use sg_mark_end() on the last element in
their scatterlist. This forces use of a fresh scatterlist for each DMA
operation, which makes recycling a single scatterlist impossible.
Change the behavior of the kfifo_dma functions to match the usage of the
dma_map_sg function. This means that users must respect the returned
nents value. The sample code is updated to reflect the change.
This bug is trivial to cause: call kfifo_dma_in_prepare() such that it
prepares a scatterlist with a single entry comprising the whole fifo.
This is the case when you map the entirety of a newly created empty fifo.
This causes the setup_sgl() function to mark the first scatterlist entry
as the end of the chain, no matter what comes after it.
Afterwards, add and remove some data from the fifo such that another call
to kfifo_dma_in_prepare() will create two scatterlist entries. It returns
nents=2. However, due to the previous sg_mark_end() call, sg_is_last()
will now return true for the first scatterlist element. This causes the
sample code to print a single scatterlist element when it should print
By removing the call to sg_mark_end(), we make the API as similar as
possible to the DMA mapping API. All users are required to respect the
returned nents.

report a faulty street light
report a sign attached to a lamp post
Every street light that is owned and operated by the Borough of Poole is included in our routine maintenance programme. Each light is subjected to a detailed inspection by a qualified engineer every two years. During this inspection, a full examination of the condition of the unit is carried out and repairs made to any defects found.
In between these times, night patrols of our primary traffic routes around Poole are carried out at least once a month and any faulty lights identified are inspected and repaired in line with our reactive maintenance procedures. For all other roads (e.g. more minor residential areas) we rely on members of the public to report faulty street lights to us.
Reporting a Fault
You can follow the links on the right hand side of this page to report a fault to us. Your report will be dealt with by one of the two members of staff in the Street Lighting team.
The easiest way to report a fault is by using our interactive mapping system. Click on the link for Street Lighting and Lit Sign Faults to the right of the page and you will be directed to our map based reporting system where you can search for your road and select the appropriate street light which is displayed on the map to raise a fault report.
If a fault with the light you are looking for has already been reported, this will be identified on the map. A red icon over the light denotes an outstanding fault and a green one denotes a completed fault. Further information will appear when you place the on screen pointer over the relevant street light on the map. If a green icon is shown but you have noticed the light is still faulty, you will be able to generate a new report by clicking on the icon on the map.
Alternatively, you can report a fault to us without using the interactive mapping system. On the fault report screen mentioned above, select the option to Report a street light issue without a map and you will be directed to a form where you can send us the details of the fault.
When using this form to report a fault, please let us know;
what street the light is in
the location of the light (e.g. the property number it is outside or nearest to)
the type of unit which is faulty (e.g. street light or lit traffic bollard)
the number of the street light (this can be found on the street light itself)
the nature of the fault
We aim to pass most faults onto our contractor the same day or next working day depending on when it is reported. The faulty light will be inspected by an engineer within an appropriate timescale dependant on the type of fault.
This will normally be within 5 working days for faults that do not require immediate attendance. For more urgent faults where an emergency response is required to rectify issues that represent a danger to the public, the site will be attended within 2 hours in order to make it safe.
For further details on fault repair timescales or if you have already reported a fault and would like some more information, please refer to our Street Lighting FAQ's page by clicking on the link under the 'Downloads' section to the right of this page.
Our current contractor for street lighting maintenance, repair and renewal is SSE Contracting who are based locally and have in depth knowledge of the area and our lighting stock.
Investment in Street Lighting Replacement
In July 2014, Councillors approved plans to install energy efficient LED street lighting across Poole following the development of an in depth business case for investment by Transportation Services.
Around 17,420 lights will now be replaced over the next six years at a cost of around £10m, helping to improve street lighting provision as well as reducing safety risks posed by the deterioration of older steel and concrete lighting columns. The project will also allow us to cut energy costs and reduce carbon consumption.
Two-thirds of the street lighting in Poole is over 25 years old, and current budgets only allow us to replace approximately 1% of the lighting columns every year. Energy costs for street lighting have more than doubled in the last 10 years, and street lighting accounts for approximately a quarter of the council's entire carbon footprint. By replacing the existing street lights, we estimate that we will save around £20m in energy costs over the next 30 years.
The main benefits with LED technology are the provision of a better quality 'white' light and the ability to make substantial energy savings due to the energy efficient properties of the light source. The new lights being installed will stay switched on throughout the night in all parts of Poole, and will be dimmed where appropriate during hours when highway use is limited.
The 'white light' produced by LED's is close to that created in daylight and allows the human eye to identify colour and surroundings in more detail when compared to our existing high pressure sodium street lighting lamps. This gives the benefit of increased visibility for drivers and pedestrians resulting in a better feeling of general safety and security during the hours of darkness.
Councillors have approved borrowing to meet the cost of the replacement scheme which is estimated at around £10.4 million. Contractors will be invited to tender for the works in early 2015. Once a contractor has been appointed, the installation programme is planned to commence in 2015/16.
The decision will also mean that the planned consultation process for the second phase of part night lighting trials, where street lights are automatically switched off between approximately midnight and 6am, will no longer go ahead as it will be superseded by our replacement project.
Carbon Reduction
The Borough of Poole is committed to reducing its carbon footprint. Street lighting accounts for approximately a quarter of the Borough's entire carbon footprint and is an area where potential savings need to be considered.
Part night lighting trials, where street lights are automatically switched off between approximately midnight and 6am, have been introduced in Poole over two phases within the last 5 years. Phase one included the conversion of street lights in a small number of residential roads in Poole to part night operation during 2009/2010, with some 150 lights in 18 streets being switched off during the above times.
After an extensive post trial review, the scheme was deemed to be a success and the extension of the operation on a wider scale (phase two) was given approval to proceed in 2012/13 subject to the views of residents, ward councillors and the Police. Consultation was carried out with residents in approximately 14,500 households within 425 roads in Poole to obtain views on the possibility of converting a further 3,400 street lights in these roads to part night operation.
Following the in depth consultation process in this respect, a report was presented to the Transportation Advisory Group (TAG) meeting on Thursday 10 May 2012 to inform of the results. After agreement by Members of TAG and endorsement from Ward Members was in place, a report was presented to the Council Cabinet on 12 June 2012, where approval was given for trials to proceed in roads where a clear majority of support (above 55%) was received from residents.
Around 1,800 street lights within 250 roads were converted to part night lighting between February and April 2013. All of the areas included have and will continue to be monitored with the assistance of the Police Safer Neighbourhood Teams. In the unlikely event of significant issues arising in any area, it will be reviewed with Ward Members and the Police and full night lighting reinstated if deemed absolutely necessary.
A full review of the phase two trials, including further consultation with residents, was planned to be carried out once the part night lighting had been in place for 12 months. This was placed on hold in early 2014 while alternative options for energy reduction in street lighting were considered. Once approval for wide scale investment in the replacement of the majority of our street lights with new LED technology was in place, it was agreed that the consultation process would be discontinued as the trial will be superseded by the replacement project.
Further information on part night lighting and the results of the previous trials can be found by using the links under the 'Downloads' section to the right of this page.
Other projects aimed at reducing the amount of energy used in street lighting include the dimming of the lights on the approach roads to the Twin Sails Bridge between midnight and 6am. This was the first time dimming of street lights was introduced in the Borough and further use of this technology will be applied where appropriate within our LED replacement project from 2015/16.
Small scale trials of LED street lighting were introduced within Poole in 2013 with the view of testing the technology before considering wide scale introduction throughout the Borough.
If you require any further information, please contact our street lighting team by using one of the following options on the right hand side of the page.
Seasonal Decorative Lighting
Festive and decorative lighting are a welcome sight in the public realm and bring pleasure to many people, particularly at Christmas. The Borough of Poole supports the use of seasonal decorations wherever possible but, as a Highway Authority, must safeguard all users of the highway. Therefore, an application process is in place to ensure that any installations of seasonal decorations in areas on or around the highway are provided in a safe manner and in accordance with relevant national guidelines.
The application process is managed by the street lighting section and provides guidance to those wishing to install seasonal decorations on or over the Highway on a temporary basis, for up to three months. It is not the intention of this application process to prevent seasonal decorations being installed, it is necessary to prevent poor installations that could cause danger to users of the highway.
A comprehensive Code of Practice has been published by the County Surveyors' Society covering the installation, operation and removal of seasonal decorations. The Code of Practice will guide applicants through the process and detailed safety requirements involved. The Borough of Poole has adopted the Code of Practice and any proposals submitted by Trade Associations, Chambers of Commerce, Charities, Schools and other recognised bodies must comply.
Applicants should submit their proposals at least two months in advance, but ideally longer where the proposals are more complex. Further information on the application process is included in the 'Seasonal Lighting Guidance Notes' file that can be accessed by following the link in the 'Downloads' section on the right hand side of the page. The required application forms can also be downloaded from this location.
An application for a Miscellaneous Activity on the Highway licence will also be required and this can be found in the downloads section on our 'Working on the Highway in the Borough of Poole' webpage - please clickhere to be taken to this page.

Research Interests:
The overall goal of our research is to regenerate functional and safe human tissues by combining the principles of biomaterial science, biological science, stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine with state-of-the-art techniques in molecular and cell biology. There is a strong element of translational bioengineering research, which transfers the discovery and technology obtained in the lab into applications in clinically relevant scenarios.
Novel Biomaterials Development and Scaffold Fabrication: Several categories of novel biomaterials with physical, chemical, mechanical, and biological properties similar to those of the native tissue are synthesized and tested for scaffold fabrication. Highly elastic, biodegradable polymers or hydrogels with customized mechanical properties and degradation profiles are used for the repair of different types of tissues. Natural polymers are modified to enhance processibility, surface chemistry, cytophilicity, and mechanical properties, while biocompatibility is preserved. Nanostructured biomaterials (such as nano-ceramics, and nano-degradable drug carriers) or their surface modifications are developed for tissue engineering, biosensor/bioprobe, and drug delivery purposes. 3-D Scaffolds containing appropriate signals that support and direct tissue regeneration are fabricated using a variety of fabrication techniques.
Cell Biology and Engineering: The expansion, differentiation, trans-differentiation, and genetic manipulation of stem cells from different sources (umbilical cord blood, bone marrow, or human embryonic stem cells) are examined both in vitro under culture conditions and in vivo following transplantation. The in vitro studies focus on the effect of environmental factors on cell behavior and function based upon a series of bioreactors capable of generating dynamic physiological forces or applying specific environmental conditions (such as microgravity, and liquid-air interface as in the respiratory system) on cell-scaffold compound. The in vivo studies characterize the survival, proliferation, differentiation, migration, integration, and fate determination of transplanted cells or stem cells at different developmental stages under normal and pathological/injury conditions. The protein and gene expressions of the cells are examined using a comparative proteomics and genomics approach.
Tissue Engineering for Human Tissue Repair: Biomaterial scaffolds with organized macro- and micro-architectures and properties similar to those of native tissue are combined with engineered cells to constitute implantable tissue-engineered devices with temporally and spatially patterned guidance cues for human tissue repair. Our pilot studies have demonstrated the efficacy of tissue-engineered biomedical devices/constructs in promoting tissue repair or regeneration in the animal models of different types of tissue/organ injuries/diseases including neurological degeneration (such as spinal cord injury, Parkinson's diseases, and multiple sclerosis), heart infarction, bone loss (osteoporosis, and bone defect), functional protection and restoration of sensory organs (such as vision or hearing loss), and small-diameter blood vessel repair. Recently, we have established the essential techniques to grow elementary functional lung units in vitro for lung tissue engineering.
Drug Delivery: Based upon the novel biomaterials that are synthesized in the lab, we have developed five types of delivery vehicles that are capable of sustained, targeted, and localized delivery of therapeutic agents or cells to the tissue of interest. These include selective-permeable hollow fiber membrane, liposome, microsphere, nanogel/nanoparticle, and genetic engineered and combined systems.

A previous version of this story misstated the month for Empire State manufacturing data. It was July. The story has been corrected.
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks climbed modestly on Monday, with the S&P 500 and the Dow industrials rising to record closing highs again, after Citigroup Inc. reported better-than-expected earnings.
The S&P 500 index SPX, +1.83% climbed 2.31 points, or 0.1%, to 1,682.50, rising for an eighth consecutive session, its longest run higher since an eight-session stretch that ended Jan. 25. It also marked another all-time finish, its 20th so far this year.
Analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch raised their 2013 year-end target for the S&P 500 to 1,750 from 1,600 previously.
Utilities paced sector gains Monday and telecommunications led the losses in the S&P 500. Citigroup's C, +2.57% shares rose 2% after the banking giant reported a steep jump in second-quarter profit.
"It's a big earnings week, but expectations are modest, so it'll be interesting to see how companies perform with lowered expectations," said Paul Mangus, head of equity research and strategy at Wells Fargo Private Bank.
Watch Citi, Leap Wireless, Boeing

A better-than-forecast manufacturing report helped neutralize worse-than-anticipated U.S. retail-sales data.
"We're encouraged that the market is focusing on fundamentals again," said Mangus added.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.85% rose 19.96 points, or 0.1%, to 15,484.26, a record closing high — its 26th this year.
Dow component Boeing Co. BA, +1.10% shares rose 3.7%, regaining a large chunk of Friday's losses, after British investigators reportedly found no evidence that batteries caused a fire on one of the manufacturer's 787 planes. Are Boeing shares immune to Dreamliner woes?
The Nasdaq Composite index COMP, +1.56% rose 7.41 points, or 0.2%, to 3,607.49.
More than 567 million shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Composite volume topped 2.57 billion.
Gold prices rose, with August futures US:GCQ3 rising 0.5% to end at $1,283.50 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The cost of crude also increased, with oil futures US:CLQ3 rising 37 cents to $106.32 a barrel.
Crude's spike has been "a fairly quick reaction to geopolitical events, so it may be a blip, only time will tell," said Mangus at Wells Fargo, referring to recent turmoil in Egypt.
Economic data boost stock futures
U.S. stock futures gained ground as an upbeat economic report out of China helped put the market on track to extend its run to fresh highs.

When budget cuts are deemed necessary, public libraries and library systems are at the top of the list. It's hard to understand why, because libraries are an important resource for not only borrowing and research, but also for those who need help to find a job, update their resumes, or send an online job application—most companies now prefer electronic applications.
Considering how much I've heard in the media about Texas being just about the only state in the country to be financially sound, it's hard to process the news that the South Texas Library System (STLS), which has a network of 55 public libraries is closing down on December 31.
Although the STLS was used primarily as an administrative resource and a reference backup, its role has typically expanded over the years to include professional development training and other resources.
Defunding the STLS and other regional systems will undermine public libraries and the services they provide. Services that are available to anyone at any income level are crucial to a community's learning environment.
The STLS total budget for 2011 was $378,096 that included $80,000 a Technical Assistance Negotiated Grant used to provide technical support for the libraries. Nine other systems are being closed in August 2012.

This WL for now focuses on reducing the contention on fil_system::mutex. With this fix multiple files can be extended at the same time and also other threads won't trying to do a normal read/write won't block during the course of extension. This should resolve the issue of stalls reported in BUG#56433. A future task will be to extend datafiles in the background, described in WL#5993.

CT (computerized tomography) scanning revolutionized medicine when it arrived in the mid-1970's. Suddenly, organs and bones were visible with the clarity of an anatomy textbook. Its popularity shows no signs of abating as faster, more powerful scanners capture 3-dimensional movies of the heart and show the inside of the colon or bronchial tree. And no wonder it's a ubiquitous device: it's quiet, easy to run, takes up little floor space and gives answers in seconds. In many Emergency Rooms it's "The Truth Machine". But this truth has a hidden price.
A CT scanner is a relatively new and very sophisticated way to use an old-fashioned medical stand-by: x-rays. Just as a standard x-ray machine has a tube that shoots x-rays (with the aid of lots of electricity) in the direction of a detecting surface (once a silver-coated film, now a digital plate), every CT scanner has an array of x-ray emitters opposite an array of detectors. The patient is interposed between them, so that the xrays pass through. The CT scanner adds circular movement to the emitter-detector pairs so that a slice of the patient can be examined. The patient moves as well, rolling smoothly on a padded table through the circling emitters and detectors, with continuous acquisition of data that's over in a few seconds. Called helical scanning, it's like getting a spiral-sliced ham, with slices thinner than tissue paper. However, it takes a lot of radiation to get detail like this.
There is radiation all around us, all the time, passing through us, bouncing off us: cosmic rays, solar radiation, radiation from the radon in our basements, radio waves, microwaves from cell phone towers. Medical radiation has become a bigger and bigger part of everyone's radiation burden due to the popularity of CT.
Radiation damages the DNA in your cells faster than it can repair itself and x-rays are very serious offenders. Damaged DNA has been implicated as the start of many cancers. As the burden of damage accumulates during your life, your chance of developing radiation-related cancer goes up. Children are particularly susceptible to radiation damage, both because of the immaturity of their tissues and because they have longer lives ahead of them for the cancers to show up.
Luckily, there is an excellent alternative. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanning has completely different capabilities that put it far ahead of CT as a way of making images of what's inside you, the way a turbo jet helicopter outclasses a mini van as a means of transportation. It gives fantastically detailed images without poisoning us with the x-rays that are the language of the CT scanner.
Dr. Thierry Huisman, the director of Pediatric Radiology at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, is very enthusiastic about MRI for children. "There is no radiation, you get high resolution anatomical images, and it allows the study of functional processes in the body."
But why do MRI scans have to be so uncomfortable – so lengthy, so noisy, and so tightly confining? The answer lies in the terrific strengths and quirky weaknesses of the technology, which dictate how the scanners are built.
A CT scan is something done TO you, but an MRI scan is something done WITH you: it's interactive, but don't worry—there's no skill required on your part. It's all about your hydrogen atoms and they know exactly what to do. Hydrogen is the most plentiful element in the human body. It's more concentrated in some tissues, like fat, and less so in others, like water and blood. In bone, there is the least amount of all. So, if you can figure out how to get hydrogen atoms to show you where they are, you can tell one tissue from another.
Hydrogen atoms have two properties that allow an MRI to happen. The first is the ability to line up with a magnetic field (that's the "M" in MRI). The other is the ability to absorb radio waves (that's resonance, the R). The magnetic field sets the stage for the hydrogen atoms and the radio waves sent in from outside the scanner give them the script. But the magnet that makes a magnetic field strong enough to make every hydrogen atom in your body sit up and take notice is not like the one that sticks your shopping list on your refrigerator.
From the outside, an MRI scanner resembles the business-end of a very clean cement truck: an open tunnel, just big enough for a person to lie down, in the middle of a room-size machine covered with smooth plastic and a few blinking lights. The only visible moving part is the padded table that rolls you inside the tunnel. Behind the plastic facing, most of the machine's bulk is the magnet that encircles the tunnel: thousands of feet of wire housed in a refrigerating jacket that freezes the wire down to -452F, four times colder than Antarctica. (Inside the tunnel, though, it feels just like normal air-conditioning.) At that temperature the wires become superconductors: electric current flows through them much faster than usual, creating a stronger magnetic field. This superconducting magnet has a powerful, stable magnetic field about 3000 times stronger than your refrigerator magnet.
In this magnetic field, all your hydrogen atoms face the same direction. But that doesn't mean everything stops, like a crowd of people on the street all looking up, or that your tissues are pulled out of shape. Hydrogen atoms are great multi-taskers and go right on being blood or fat or whatever. When a radio wave hits them, they absorb enough energy to be momentarily distracted and turn away from the magnetic field direction. After giving off the energy again in an answering radio wave, they realign themselves with the main magnetic field.
Now we've figured out how to make hydrogen atoms talk to us, but the answering radio waves are like a big undifferentiated chorus. We need to know each hydrogen atom's location in the body. Another part of the MRI scanner does this.
Just outside the plastic wall of the tunnel, a few inches from your body as you lie inside, is a network of small magnets, each about 20 times the strength of your refrigerator magnet. These are used to make the main magnetic field stronger in one part and tapering to less strong in another. From right to left across your body and from your head to your feet, these magnets create two gradients in the strength of the field, like the intersection of two sloping streets that gives each atom a unique address. This will affect the quality of the radio waves the hydrogen atoms send back: individual voices can be identified in the big chorus.
The radio waves that the hydrogen atoms respond to are just below the first station on the dial of your FM radio. The answering radio waves are very weak and the apparatus that detects them works best if it's placed on or very near your body. These devices are called coils and are usually flat and enclosed in flexible plastic. There are special ones for the brain that fit around your head like a bucket.
A specially-programmed computer takes all the returning radio signals and constructs a map of what signals came from where, a census of atoms and where they live. Put enough atoms together and you have a tissue. Compare your MRI map – your image – with what you know about how the body usually looks inside and you can give the tissues their names, right down to layers in the brain just a few cells thick.
That's why it's such a tight fit in the tunnel—the machine's magnets have to be close to you to bathe your body in the best magnetic field and the detectors have to be even closer to you to hear the faintest signals from your hydrogen atoms. But aren't there Open MR Scanners, where you lie in the middle of a magnet-sandwich? And what about the ones you can stand up in?
Dr. Huisman explained that these scanners use resistive magnets (like a 500 pound refrigerator magnet), not superconducting magnets. Their strength is only about 1/10 that of a superconducting magnet. A magnet like this can't push your hydrogen atoms around as much, so they don't talk back as much. Therefore the images lack the fine detail that you can get with superconducting magnets. Stand-up scanners certainly have their uses, as when pathology in your back only reveals itself with weight-bearing or bending, but the images suffer from the same coarseness. "This might be OK for a shoulder or knee," he said, "but not for your brain." Still, for a very claustrophobic person, an open MRI will give results adequate to answer many questions while avoiding the radiation of CT.
So, what's all that noisy racket? The MRI technologist at the controls has several choices that can be combined into a sequence all designed to make your hydrogen atoms give up their secrets. The gradient magnets can be switched on and off slowly or rapidly, the radio waves can be given singly or in bursts, the time at which the hydrogen atom's response radio wave is recorded can be short or long. The loud rhythmic knocking or groaning noise that you hear comes from the gradient magnets as they turn off and on, causing vibration in the machine's frame. The faster the sequence, the louder the sound. Some ultrafast sequences reach 100 decibels, akin to mowing your lawn with a gas-powered mower or standing 10 feet away from a subway train as it goes by.
One sequence combination can take from 1/50 of a second to 3 seconds. A scan sequence is repeated many times over a period of 30 seconds to 10 minutes to gather enough radio wave data to make an image. It's important to lie quietly and not to move at all during that time. If you do, the machine will misinterpret the location of the answering hydrogen atoms and the image will be blurred.
But if the scanner can make an image in 30 seconds, then why does a study take 30, 60 or even 90 minutes? The answer gets to the heart of what makes MRI scanning such an exciting and versatile technology and sets it apart from CT.
To a CT scanner, you are inert, like a landscape that varies only in density. X-rays travel through you like tourists: one trip, one report, one image. But to an MRI scanner, you are a huge vibrant on-line community of atoms who can blog endlessly about what's happening in their tiny part of inner space. The scanner interviews your atoms, and every sequence is like a question. An in-depth interview has many pointed questions; the best MRI scan has many sequences, each designed to find out a specific physiologic fact. Depending on the question, liver atoms might have a different opinion than pancreas atoms. Another scan sequence might have them agreeing while the tumor atoms are tricked into an indiscretion that unmasks them.
There are (or soon will be) 7 billion people in the world – 7 followed by 9 zeros. The average person is composed of 7-followed-by-27-zeros of atoms. Every one of them has a voice and something important to say about you, something that might save your life someday. But it will take an MRI scanner to hear it.

People should be sure to stay back away from open water, the DNR said in its weekly fishing report. Most of the lakes to the north have ice, but over the southern half of the Lower Peninsula, lakes still have little to no ice.
In West Michigan, there is no safe ice, according to Willis Kerridge of Fish On Bait & Tackle in Nunica.
Anglers are instead concentrating their efforts on the area bridges, including those over Bowman's and Smith's bayous.
"No safe ice yet," Kerridge said. "After this weekend, if it get as cold as it's supposed to, hopefully it can make some ice, freeze that snow, but it still won't be great ice."

Welcome to the Expert Advice Forum for Guys - Check Out our FAQ to See How it Works.
No featured posts
Manism is the best source on the Web not only for relationship advice for men, but it's also a place for men to come to find the highest quality information for seduction and dating, health and fitness, business and career-related topics as well as advice on how to create an ideal lifestyle built on the strength of their natural personalities.
As guys, we all have sticking points that we encounter at various stages in life. We may have just come out a horrible breakup, and we're looking for tips on how to get back in the game; or perhaps we're looking for solid relationship advice before things get to that stage? On other occasions, we may be wanting to get back in shape, or to ensure that the workout regime we're on will end up yielding the expected results. Other times still, you might be looking for help navigating a thorny job issue, or you'd like to start a business, but are not sure of the best way to proceed.
There's already tons of great health, career and relationship advice for men elsewhere on the Web, but a lot of it comes in the form of cookie-cutter articles by authors who couldn't possibly know the particulars of your situation, much less what the best way to tackle it might be. If you are lucky enough to find an expert to give you advice tailored to your specific needs, the problem then becomes determining the value of that advice against everything else that you've heard or read on the subject.
...And that's where Manism comes in. Not only is an array of experts backed by a community of men dedicated to personal development standing by to answer your questions, but voting mechanisms and awards granted for specialty knowledge help you to evaluate the quality of the information being provided. Treat the site like a personal pit stop for times when you are searching for intelligent, considered advice from men who have already blazed through the path you are on, and are willing to share their knowledge in order to help you achieve your goals, whatever they may be.

"See where he is?" Bobby Proctor said, pointing his finger across the kitchen table at the laptop screen to identify his grandson, Beau Proctor, a senior linebacker for Norman North High School.
Friday night lights: Football passed down from grandfather to grandson
"This receiver comes off the line, and I want him to get a good chug on him. Right there! See that?" Bobby said, his voice rising.
"Now he has pushed that guy off his route for the safety to cover. That's something he didn't do early. He just let guys run by him. Like I told him, you are helping the guy behind him, is what you are doing."
Often after Norman North football games, Bobby will huddle around a dining room table with his grandson to view video of the Timberwolves' most recent game on the computer.
Bobby, who turns 81 next month, now coaches his 17-year-old grandson much like he did dozens of defensive backs for the University of Oklahoma in his 20 years as an assistant coach. Although he is not as hard on Beau as he was on his Sooners.
"If I coached him like I did them, they would come shoot me," Bobby said. "I holler at him every once in a while. I don't holler lots at him. I holler for him."
For Bobby, the excitement of an autumn Saturday afternoon roaming the sideline at Owen Field has been replaced by the thrill of sitting in the bleachers and watching his grandson play under the lights on Friday nights for Norman North.
"It's more personal now," Bobby said.
A tough old coach
Bobby Proctor was the only assistant coach for Barry Switzer who spent all 16 seasons on his staff.
When Switzer was a 17-year-old freshman at the University of Arkansas, Proctor was a graduate assistant on the Razorback staff and Switzer's coach.
"Bobby Proctor was the hardest-nosed, toughest coach on players than any coach I've ever known," Switzer said. "But he was fair to all. He treated all the same, whether you were a starter or on the third team. He treated everybody the same, and everybody knew it. He showed no favorites."
Switzer said Proctor had a very "old school" philosophy of coaching.
"It was all about toughness, because that's the only way Bobby ever played," Switzer said. "You have to understand, Bobby was captain of the Arkansas Razorbacks when they won the Southwest Conference championship.
"He was a 160-pounder, and the only way he could play was that he had to be (tough). He threw his body around."
As Oklahoma's secondary coach, Proctor probably was the most maligned of Switzer's assistants.
He would get the blame when a Stanford team quarterbacked by John Elway or a West Virginia squad quarterbacked by Jeff Hostetler would come into Norman and beat the Sooners through the air.
"I never listened to a hoot what people said (about Proctor)," Switzer said. "The media or the fans never influenced me into making a decision one way or another about coaches and players. If I had, I wouldn't have played Thomas Lott or J.C. Watts. Bobby is a good one."
Are you Bobby Proctor's grandson?
Bobby Proctor never intended on being his grandson's personal coach. After being fired by Sooners coach Gary Gibbs, Proctor was content on spending the rest of his life away from football.
Bobby once attempted to coach Beau and the first tackle football team he joined in elementary school.
Trying to teach fourth-graders how to tackle, however, was not the same as teaching the Oklahoma drill to the Sooners.

When: 7 p.m., Friday
Scouting Report: Norman North is ranked No. 6 in Class 6A and is unbeaten in District 6A-3. The Timberwolves will clinch their first district crown since 2007 with a victory over the Lions. Moore, 2-3 in district play, must defeat the Timberwolves to keep alive any hopes of making the playoffs.

GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MedImmune today announced the winners of its 6th Annual Research Abstract Competition highlighting the work of the next generation of scientific leaders performing research in the areas of respiratory, inflammatory and autoimmune (RIA) disease. Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows were invited to submit abstracts about RIA research as part of a competition sponsored by MedImmune, the global biologics arm of AstraZeneca.
First prize of $2,000 was awarded to Philippe LeBlanc of Department of Medicine, McGill University, Montreal, Canada, for his research topic, Caspase-1 processes HMGB1 into an immunogenic peptide that signals through RAGE.
LeBlanc noted, "Thank you to all the friendly staff at MedImmune who organized this conference and provided an important opportunity for academia to interface with the private research sector. Many congratulations and thanks to the other participants for sharing their excellent work."
Second and third prizes of $1,000 and $500 were awarded respectively to Jillian Barlow, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Medical Research Council, Cambridge, UK, and Xiangping Yang, Ph.D, National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA.
Launched in 2006, MedImmune's Annual Research Abstract Competition aims to engage emerging scientists in health and science education to cultivate a competitive environment that nurtures future research in key therapeutic areas. In 2009, following the success of the RIA abstract competition in the U.S., MedImmune introduced a similar effort in Europe to acknowledge advances in the field of oncology. Since its inception, the MedImmune Annual Research Competition has received more than 330 research abstracts from across the globe.
"We are continuously impressed with the quality of submissions put forth by these young scientists each year," said Bing Y

Brochure of nrg4SD - Smart partnering and networking - Access to resources - Influencing policy and funding - Profiling and learning - Become member
Download the nrg4SD brochure EN - ES - FR.
Smart partnering and networking for common goals
The thematic events organised by nrg4SD within its working groups, general assemblies and world summits of subnational governments or alongside key international dates offer excellent networking opportunities to our members and open the door to other major international organisations and stakeholders. Beyond the obvious advantages of face-to-face networking, much of this interpersonal exchange can be achieved on a daily basis taking advantage of virtual communication technologies – in some cases a simple email exchange - allowing members to benefit from nrg4SD services as travelling budgets tighten.
Access to resources - Information and advice, capacity building, funding opportunities and partners
nrg4SD offers specialised and technical products in various sustainable development thematic areas that are adapted to the needs of subnational governments. This implies a wide coverage of interconnected topics that are essential to the delivery of both thematic and comprehensive sustainable development strategies. It also contributes to an integrated approach to sustainable development strategies. The 'network approach' favours project ideas and credible partnerships that can be eligible under international funding streams, which are often essential to their implementation.
Influencing future policy and funding - Being in the right place at the right time
nrg4SD's advocacy work is oriented to the recognition of the vital contribution that subnational governments make to sustainable development goals. Thanks to its accreditation to several UN entities and its direct work with the EU and other global organisations and agencies; nrg4SD participates in international decision-making processes and contributes to the elaboration of responsible and ambitious policies, tools and resources with a territorial dimension. Helping to improve our members' grasp of the strategic context of their sustainable development work inspires new thinking not only at subnational level but also within international decision-making instances. This generates long-term opportunities for subnational governments.
The legitimacy and credibility of nrg4SD in international negotiating fora comes from its role as representative of subnational governments across the Globe. This worldwide constituency of common interests and goals makes nrg4SD a powerful political platform.
Profiling and learning - from the common struggle to the pioneering and the mutual learning
nrg4SD provides a high-profile international platform for committed and responsible subnational governments who both implement and are keen on improving ambitious and innovative actions for sustainable development. The access to grass-roots case studies demonstrating complementary solutions for similar challenges is the best evidence-based tool for nrg4SD advocacy work, and turns the common struggle and challenges of subnational governments into mutual learning.
Participating actively in nrg4SD events and publications or using the opportunity to take part in international events as an nrg4SD representative brings international visibility to the territory and its achievements. Hosting these events multiplies such benefits.
Our members optimise these services through their active participation in nrg4SD working groups, discussion sessions and good practice exchanges of nrg4SD. Member governments and associations thus benefit directly from the 'network approach'. At the same time, the nrg4SD Secretariat sharpens its understanding of membership needs and expectations of members in order to generate further opportunities for policy shaping, project proposals, profiling and capacity building.
Information on how to become member of nrg4SD is available here.

Interior Designer - Sara Bengur Interiors
Areas of Specialty
Custom, high-end residential interiors that combine unexpected compositions of texture, color and form along with a unique layering of textiles and patterns that reflect an old-world sensibility mixed with a contemporary twist. The opposite of overwrought and over-decorated, the ultimate effect of my design approach is sophisticated, integrated, and calming.
Designer Q&A with Sara
What is your design philosophy?
My design philosophy is really to customize the interior to the clients I am working with. I think interiors are an expression of the person living in them. We are like artists drawing a portrait, but in three dimensions.
What led you to this career?
I have always been intrigued by interiors. As a child I lived in Istanbul for seven years and we travelled a lot through Europe so I was exposed to many different interiors, and recognized early on how differently people lived, and how some interiors were so much better to be in than others. My father also took me to museums all the time, so I was very fine-tuned visually at a young age. I remember loving Van Gogh's painting of his bedroom, all crooked and colorful, elements I still love in interiors now!
What has been your favorite project and why?
One of my favorite projects was a collaboration I did with architect, Paul Alter, in upstate New York. The client really encouraged us to customize every detail of the house, so the result was something very original and rich. The photo (first in the slideshow below) is of the window seat area in the living room: you can see the play of antique and new fabrics, with varying patterns.
Tell us about your most challenging project.
My most challenging project was an all-beige house I worked on for a client. Since I love color, it was a challenge to work with varying shades of beige. My solution was to layer many different textures to keep the interior interesting and timeless.
What is your design process?
We start out with our clients very generally, to figure out what their likes and dislikes are in terms of pattern, color, and floor layouts. We give them a variety of choices, then after several meetings we start coming to a good understanding of what we need to do to create a space that will suit them completely. I always prefer to start with the soft furnishings first, i.e. upholstery, drapes, and carpets, since they often have the long lead time. Then we start layering with furniture lighting and accessories.

On Thursday, May 9th at 7:10 p.m. I visited Empire Dock in Coos Bay and was surprised by the red/orange colored water. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was dense areas of WOOD CHIPS filling the bay. I have visited the dock many times and have never seen such a thing. I'm curious if this was an isolated incident or a regular occurrence. It must have washed ashore by the tide, blown from a loaded boat passing by or perhaps a spill in the water from the North Spit/Horsefall area. I was also quite taken aback at the lack of Sea Gulls in the area. Usually every day there are dozens of them. This day there were only maybe a half dozen. I wondered if it may have something to do with the wood chips that polluted the water clear out past the end of the dock and stretched as far as the eye could see down the beach on both sides of the dock. Either way, the amount of wood chips in the water concerned me. One would think the environmental impact would be grave to the sea life in the area.

The Eco Textile Uprising.
Interested in developing my own eco-textile business, I stumbled upon this article on TreeHugger outlining the important criteria of a sustainable fabric. So what makes eco-textiles sustainable? TreeHugger tells how.
1. Is it recyclable?
2. Is it made of recyclable materials?
3. Is it easily biodegradable?
4. Is it produced using green manufacturing processes without harmful chemical byproducts?
5. Does it follow McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC)'s Cradle to Cradle principals?
6. Does the finished product off-gas harmful chemicals having a negative effect on indoor air quality?
7. Does the manufacturer have a company-wide sustainability policy?
New to Colorado, eco-textile innovator CoCoNa, has emphasized the importance of the eco-revolution by using discarded coconut shells to develop a new fabric weave.

I do agree with all the ideas you have presented in your post. They are very convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for newbies. May you please extend them a little from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

Roy Halladay allowed three runs, gave up seven hits and had his fastball clocking in consistently at 87 to 89 miles per hour during Saturday's four-inning outing.
The scene behind home plate Saturday presented an eclectic mix.
No, not in Sarasota, Fla., where the big-league version of the Phillies were playing. No, reporters, minor-leaguers, fans and Phillies coaches were all huddled behind home plate at the Carpenter Complex Saturday, where the real story of the day - Roy Halladay - was set to pitch.
Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. lorded over the complex, standing on a balcony above the field, watching the man so crucial to the Phillies' 2013 hopes try and rebound from what has been a mystery-plagued spring. ...

Lean management strategies focus of event at Martin Health System
STUART — Medical professionals from across the country are at Martin Health System this week focusing on how to increase efficiency, improve workflow, eliminate unnecessary waste and enhance the patient experience as part of Healthcare Value Network's Lean Management program.
The Network offers members the opportunity to discuss how to implement lean management strategies.
The strategies aim to provide more efficient and effective care while reducing waste and care costs. Goals include refining the steps a patient goes through before seeing a physician, implementing a systemized restocking of supplies, and generally streamlining other hospital processes."It's an all-encompassing way to improve health care," said Scott Samples, marketing communications manager for Martin Health System.
Roger Chen, corporate director of performance excellence for Martin Health Systems, said "It's a different way of working."
Chen led the charge Wednesday and will again Thursday for more than 40 hospital staff, executives, and visitors from across the country.
Chen described the Network event as an environment where participants can share ideas to achieve higher patient safety and satisfaction and save money for patients and health care providers.
"My goal is for Martin Health Systems to be in the top tier of health care systems in this country," Chen said.
Chen said the objective is always to do the most good for the most people in the least amount of time, and lean management through the Healthcare Value Network is helping Martin Health System get there.
After implementing lean management principles, the hospital has saved $500,000 on IV pumps alone and hundreds of thousands more on other supplies and procedures.
"The importance of the system is profound," Chen said, and all of the changes advance patient care and quality. "We're delivering better health care."
