Agbonlahor Week: Vassell - Gabby living the dream like I did
Darius Vassell says he knows exactly what Gabby Agbonlahor is going through - living the dream for his boyhood club.
Vassell enjoyed a seven-year stint for his favourite team in claret and blue, after coming up through the academy ranks.
Agbonlahor has progressed in exactly the same manner and is now the crowd favourite as Vassell was back in the early 2000s.
Vassell is a big admirer of Agbonlahor and actually trained with the club's record goalscorer at Bodymoor Heath when he was on his way up to the senior set-up.
He said: "I am so impressed with Gabby. He reminds me of myself when I was younger.
"He has done great things - some he might not have expected to do himself.
"I really like Gabby. I like the way he plays - using his pace to scare the life out of defenders. That's what I used to do.
"He has pace, power, desire and determination for his club as a hometown lad. Every team needs that sort of player I think.
"Not many might know but I knew Gabby when I was at Villa.
"I was a senior and he was one of the better youth team players. I heard his name mentioned.
"He would come and join us in the training to get some experience.
"He was the same then as he is now. He had pace and he never shied away from his responsibilities.
"He was doing the same things at 15 as he is now but obviously he's improved and progressed dramatically.
"My hat goes off to him. He must be having the same feeling as I had of being really proud at wearing the shirt you love."

By Christine Chen
Copyright 2003 Christine Chen
NEW YORK -- California-based
choreographer Wendy Rogers opened Danspace Project's Fall 2003 season
last weekend at St. Mark's Church with the premiere of "Wild Life
/ a movement refuge." According to the press release, the piece
is meant as a meditation on the intersection between urban life
and wilderness settings. It seeks to break down our expectations
of an "assumed opposition" between the two, and explores how their
co-existence can serve as a metaphor for our internal conflicts
between the frenetic energy of everyday life and a personal Zen.
The piece unfolds enigmatically.
The action begins in silence as three dancers perform stationary,
idiosyncratic movement with their eyes closed while a fourth watches.
This scenario ends as two more dancers join in. Solos are then pulled
out of the subtly shifting group activity, duets form and dissolve,
and the audience is lulled into a hypnotic state. The score shifts
from ambient nature sounds to those reflecting the agitations of
city life (motors revving, metal clanging), and the group's movement
shifts from the individual and abstract to a melange of pedestrian
tasks performed with a desperate, erratic energy. The dancers often
move as a unit -- all moving, then all pausing together.
Then everything stops,
and we are introduced into a new, more literal landscape. Three
dancers in three separate pools of light are spread throughout the
space. One reads a book, another listens to a Discman, and a third
sits with an antiquated radio. The soft-spoken voice of actress
Susan Stone is heard reading an excerpt from "A Vanishing Land,"
a booklet written in the 1950s by environmentalist Hildegarde Flanner.
Wendy Rogers, who has been watching from the side so far, comes
out to embody and react to Flanner's description of a Californian
wilderness encroached upon by an ever-modernizing society.
The action then resets,
and all the material is repeated verbatim from the beginning, with
the addition of Rogers to the initial trio. Initially, I assume
there will be some shift in the material that will reflect Rogers's
environmentalist thesis bemoaning the unilateral march of "progress"
from a natural to an urban state. I soon come to realize that the
material has not been obviously varied. At first glance, this might
seem like a sophomoric choreographic device that Rogers has fallen
back upon to fill time, or to sufficiently highlight the material.
However, Rogers is no novice (she has been making dances for over
thirty years) -- this is a deliberate and carefully crafted choice.
Indeed, because of the
repetition, I am sucked deeper into the material this time, both
remembering and seeing things anew. It is precisely because of the
unapologetic repetition that I can now re-read and re-experience
the layering and accumulation of both the natural and the urban
movement landscapes in the piece. I realize that hints of the city
life exist from the beginning, just as natural, organic sensibilities
emerge during the frenetic exploration of menial tasks. The costumes,
designed by Sandra Woodall, fit this idea as well. The sensible
calf-length pants and sleeveless tops in a palette of lime greens,
oranges, and turquoises conjure an open, spring-time feeling that
is neither earthy nor inorganic in tone. Imbued with context from
Stone's reading, the group tableaus take on new meaning, and a more
nuanced relationship between the movement and the music emerges
as well. The sound score reveals itself to be more of a palimpsest,
layering sounds of water sloshing in a river with the mechanized
sounds of motors, or Eastern-inspired New Age meditations with urban-hipster
techno beats, rather than merely juxtaposing them. The double entendre
of the title becomes apparent. "Wild Life" is intended to refer
to both the "natural, uncultivated" life and to the "crazy and whimsical"
life. I realize (in this piece, as in life), that the excitement
of city life can be a welcome relief to the silence of nature, and
conversely, that stillness (inner and outer) can be a relief to
the frantic pace of urban existence. The two are inextricably linked
as refuges and antidotes to each other.
In repetition, the piece
finds an open-ended resolution at the point where the text initially
came in the first time around. This time, the dancers find their
way into a circle for a final coda. They enter the circle one by
one, then return, sometimes kneeling, sometimes standing, to form
a new circle. After several riffs on this theme, the piece concludes.
Overall, the work is
clear and well crafted without being gripping. Rogers's noble ideas
are subtly conveyed, but they verge on inaccessibility. Seasoned
performers Monica Bill Barnes, Allyson Green, Michael Miller, Rommel
Salveron, Jennifer Twilley and Christopher Williams give clean,
unaffected performances that have integrity yet are not completely
absorbing. Something ineffable is lacking, and I think of a conversation
DI editor Paul Ben-Itzak and I recently had about the difference
between the East Coast and West Coast dance scenes (I am a recent
transplant from the Bay Area). We discussed the Californian mantra
of "everything is good, everything is valid" and everyone's desire
to take on a social agenda in their work (and in life: witness the
current "I can be governor" delusions of so many). While these values
and aims are laudable, they sometimes take precedence over the art
of dance. What "Wild Life" seems to be missing is this transcendence
-- it is a heartfelt yet academic description of beauty, rather
than being beauty itself.

O, The Weather Outside . . .
This weekend has been devoted to graduate students' manuscripts, both scholarly and creative, both Pine Manor and UNL, and I must say, I'm a lucky teacher. They're just off-the-hook brilliant. (The weekend's also been devoted to rectifying a recently observed chocolate deficiency in my diet, but enough about that.)
I'm excited that so many of my students are writing about Margery Latimer. Remember my worries? Well, several students are writing really excellent, smart papers about her work, pointing out things I never thought of. Ahhh. Sigh of relief. Other students are writing about Nella Larsen, Virginia Woolf, Meridel Le Sueur, and others. Some of the papers are definitely conference-worthy. I didn't know a graduate lit course could be this much fun!
Today's the 6th, which means James and I have 8 days left until we sign on our new apartment. The closing's set for 10 a.m. on the 14th, and I can't help counting down the days. Our living room and hallway are already starting to fill with boxes and miscellaneous items I can't understand why we own.
And young Grey's getting ready to take his finals, after which he'll be heading west to spend his holidays here, and our flamboyantly fake little purple Christmas tree is already up and lit. Sparkly. (After years of doing the whole go-out-to-the-tree-farm-and-personally-select-one-for-slaughter-and-rope-it-to-the-car thing, I'd had enough.)
All told, December and January should be lively, chaotic, and fun.

The Utes on their marks for racing
Dec. 16, 2012
PHOENIX, ARIZ. - At Mona Plummer Aquatic Center, the Utes impressed, but ultimately split the meet with the Arizona State Sun Devils. The Ute men bested their competition 158-122, while the women fell to their No. 22 opponent 154-121. The Utah men improve their dual meet record to 4-1 for the season, as the women fall to 4-5.
"I'm really happy with the way we did," said Utah head coach Greg Winslow. "It's a great way to kick off the end of finals and the start of a great training week here. Looking forward to getting some great work done while we're here and hopefully some sun."
The underclassmen continue to lead the Utah men as Nick Soedel swept the sprint freestyle events once again, touching in 1:41.08 in the 200 free, 20.43 in the 50 free and 44.80 in the 100 free.

Bence Kira'ly also snagged three individual wins, topping the 400 IM (3:57.84), the 100 free (9:23.77) and the 500 free (4:34.57).
Other notable Ute performances include Alexandre Fernandes' second-place finish in the 100 back (53.48), David Fraser's second place in the 200 fly (1:51.82), and Ian Walker's second place in the 200 back (1:58.42).
The Utah men capped off the meet with a win in the 400 free relay (3:04.08) due to the collaboration of Holmstrom, Gunnarsson, Winter Heaven and Soedel.
Kersten Merry and Giuliana Gigliotti both brought in wins for the Ute women. Merry took first in the 1-meter (301.05), while Gigliotti was the winner of the 100 free (51.75).
Samantha Zuch pulled in second place in the 500 free (4:57.47) and the 1000 free (10:08.96), while Nicole Ligeza did the same in the 200 breast (2:20.18) and the 100 breast (1:04.83).

SKB 4214RC Deluxe Double Recurve Case
Is anyone interested in buying a brand new recurve case? I am selling it for $298 plus shipping. The price from Lancaster Archery is $359.99. A bow was put in there just once. This is a great price and the case is amazing, it is just bulky and does not fit in my car. I am from Brookline, Massachusetts. I can provide pictures if you email me.

It's safe to say there has been a shift over the years of how soldiers returning from the battlefield have been welcomed.
Desert Storm vet Allen Hill says he was received with open arms.
"White, black, whoever, they came up to me and shook my hand and said thank you for serving the country so well," says Hill.
Those who fought in the Vietnam War say their return was nothing to celebrate.
"We had a quiet welcome. We didn't want to talk about it when we came back. We just wanted to mix into the crowd," says Vietnam War vet Mark Alvarez.
With the U.S. military death toll in Iraq standing at more than 2,000 and the toll in Vietnam reportedly close to 50,000, over the course of 20 years some may draw comparison to that war and the current War on Terror, and with that wonder why returning vets today are so honored and appreciated, whereas three decades ago they were not.
Vietnam vet Charles Christie says, "I think people are feeling more patriotic due to 9/11, not to say that we weren't patriotic before, but I think that woke up a lot of people who may have not been aware of what could possibly happen."
World War II vet Woodrow Lewis feels sympathy toward those currently serving in Iraq.
"I respect them for what they are doing and I hate to see those young guys go ever there and get killed," explains Lewis.
Overall many feel no matter the political climate, all veterans should receive the same recognition, a sign that over time we have matured as a nation.

"Fancy" is the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and it is the emcee's first chart-topping cut. The song is also #1 in the publication's Digital Songs chart and Streaming Songs chart. As a result, Billboard put together a list titled "Iggy Azalea's 'Fancy' Takeover: 10 Key Ingredients To a Summer Smash."
"That insidious beat" tops the list. "Those creeping synths, elastic in their delivery, arresting in their simplicity, serve as the backbone of 'Fancy' along with the faded Hip Hop chants, and are more immediate than any production detail on Azalea's previously released singles," Billboard says. "Credit veteran production team The Invisible Men, who worked with The Arcade on the track and several others on The New Classic, for giving Azalea and Charli XCX the perfect foundation on which to flaunt their fanciness."
Recently, BuzzFeed made another list about Azalea, "17 Reasons Why Iggy Azalea Is The Queen Of This Summer."
The rest of the list and the music video for "Fancy" are as follows:
2. Charli XCX Brought Her Songwriting Swagger.< <
3."Fancy" (and Iggy) Have Had Time To Grow.
4. An Insta-Classic Music Video.
5. On-Point Television Performances.
6. Concurrent Hit = Not A Problem.
7. The Viral Parodies Keep Coming.
8. Her Album is Selling Well.
9. Iggy's Engaging Interviews & Social Media Presence.
10. Nothing On Radio Sounds Quite Like Iggy.

The Last Flight of the Blue Goose
In 1942 the
Blue Goose
, a B-24 bomber, disappeared during a routine test flight from an airbase in Florida. After an intensive search, no trace of the plane or crew was ever found. Thirty years later, the remains of the copilot were discovered on a remote beach in northern Brazil—a bizarre Nazi plot is uncovered and the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the
Blue Goose
is finally solved.

Fort Myers Army Air Base, Florida, January 1942
First Lieutenant Carlson's khaki shirt stuck to his skin like glue. The noonday Florida sun beat down on the control tower's corrugated metal roof. Fortunately, all sides of the platform atop the twenty foot high wooden tower were open. Occasionally, a light breeze filtered through. Carlson leaned over the platform guard rail and watched McCormick, his radio operator, fill their canteens from a Lister bag located in the middle of a line of tents behind the control tower.
A dozen B-24s were parked in a line alongside the single runway in front of the tower. In a wooded maintenance area, at the end of the flight line, stood a lone B-24. Carlson watched Army Air Corps mechanics install the cowling on the B-24's number three engine then push their spindly, rectangular, work stands aside. A mechanic removed the rear chocks then kicked the front chocks firmly against the tires. Another mechanic pushed a two-wheeled fire extinguisher into position beside the number three engine. Two other mechanics entered the aircraft through the open bomb bay doors. In a few minutes, the auxiliary power unit then the number three engine roared to life. Painted on the side of the dune colored aircraft was the name '
Blue Goose
Private First Class McCormick climbed the control tower steps. He handed the lieutenant a canteen. After a long drink, Carlson said, "Tastes like ten-year-old, chlorinated, horse piss."
"Lieutenant, you won't be able to get it up for a month. The mess sergeant has orders to load the coffee with saltpeter. Since nobody will drink it, he's putting saltpeter in the water."
The ring of the field phone was barely heard above the sound of the B-24's engine. McCormick took the handset from the canvas carrying case, gave his rank and last name, then listened attentively. He replied, "Yes, sir," then stowed the handset. "Lieutenant, Operations says they want to test fly 009 at 1400 hours."
"Great! That should end our week in the tower. Tomorrow, some other flight crew gets stuck with this shit detail."
For the next few hours, Carlson and McCormick were occupied with three B-25s from Eglin Field that shot take-offs and landings. "I wonder why they're practicing short field take-offs here?" McCormick asked.
"Maybe there's too much traffic at Eglin."
After the B-25s departed, Operations notified Carlson that 009 filed a local clearance for a one hour test flight. Carlson responded affirmatively to the
Blue Goose's
request for taxi clearance. A few minutes later, a request for take-off clearance came over the loud speaker. Carlson checked the area, picked up the microphone, pressed the transmit button then replied, "009, you're cleared for take-off."
"Roger, 009's rolling," was the reply.
Carlson removed his clipboard from a nail. He penciled in the entries, marked the time as 1406 hours, then initialed the activity log. At 1500 hours, Carlson scanned the sky for the
Blue Goose
. He spotted a few birds—there were no aircraft in sight. He ordered McCormick to contact the
Blue Goose
. At least two dozen times McCormick transmitted, "009, this is Fort Myers tower. Over." There was no response. At 1510 hours, Carlson turned the crank of the field telephone and notified the Operations Officer.
Inside the Operations tent, Captain Murray used the field telephone to notify Lieutenant Colonel McCann, Commanding Officer of the 343rd Bombardment Squadron and acting CO of the newly formed 98th Bombardment Group. McCann jumped into a Jeep parked outside the headquarters tent then drove along a dirt road to Operations.
Murray handed the colonel 009's clearance. McCann looked over the flight clearance, noted the names of the crew, estimated time of arrival and fuel load. "They couldn't have strayed far from the field. All they had to do was checkout one engine, parallel the generators and swing the compass."
"They had a full fuel load. Maybe they headed back to Shreveport for a night on the town," suggested Murray.
McCann winced, "I know those guys, they're not screw-ups. Get two planes in the air and have them set up a search pattern for a 200 mile radius. Have one check south, toward the Everglades, and the other to the north. When it gets too dark to search, they can return. Notify the crew in the tower the field will stay open until the last ship lands and they're not to leave their post until I give the word."
Carlson cleared both B-24s for take-off then watched the Liberators climb to cruise altitude. In a clearing in front of the headquarters tent, a bugler blew mess call. The bugler repeated the call on each cardinal heading.
Carlson watched as soldiers carrying mess kits ambled toward and formed a single line alongside the field kitchen. After the troops were served, they either sat on the ground or ate standing up with their mess kits resting on a forty foot flatbed trailer parked nearby. Their supper table was attached to a C-2 wrecker; a crash truck equipped with a large crane. Two large galvanized garbage cans filled with boiling water were placed over a carefully laid fire pit. An empty garbage can was placed ahead of the fire pit. After eating, each soldier dumped any remaining scraps into the garbage can then scrubbed his mess kit, utensils and canteen cup in the first can over the fire pit. In the last GI can on the fire pit, the soldiers dipped their mess gear into the boiling water.
McCann listened intently as the search crews were debriefed. Both crews reported negative results. The crews were ordered to get off the ground at first light and try again. McCann told Murray to notify Air Corps Headquarters, at Wright Field, that an aircraft was missing.
For the next two weeks, aircraft from Fort Myers, Eglin and MacDill searched for the
Blue Goose
. No debris or clues regarding the disappearance of the Liberator ever surfaced.
Captain Murray completed the accident report. He attached true copies of the clearance and tower log plus statements from Carlson, McCormick, the 38th Material Squadron's engine change crew and the inspector who released the aircraft for flight.
Instead of an expected promotion, McCann was relieved and reassigned to England. He wrote personal letters to the next of kin, turned over command to his replacement, a full colonel, then cleared the base.
In April 1942, the B-25s that practiced landings at Fort Myers were part of Jimmy Doolittle's group that bombed Tokyo. Three months later, the newly formed 98th Bombardment Group went on to Palestine then Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Italy. In time, the flight of the
Blue Goose
faded from memory.
Chapter 1
Kennedy Space Center, December 1972
Traffic was at a standstill, roads were crammed with parked cars, boats lined the river and jockeyed for a better viewing position. At Kennedy Space Center, the viewing stand was packed with VIPs and anyone else lucky enough to get a pass. As Apollo 17 rose from the launch pad, the roar of the first stage was heard across the state of Florida and on television sets around the world.

My big four: Study, relationships, openness, and Him
(Another in our series by CCU students on big lessons of college) We learn more by seeking the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from finding the answer itself. There are many people in our society, young adults especially, that are seeking their true purpose; living off the energy of grand ambitions and the thirsty desire to succeed. I know I am one of many individuals traveling somewhat blindly through life, wondering where my destination lies. It was not until inspired by this blog topic, 'what are the most important things I have learned in college', did I put the brakes on life and stop to think, what have I learned from my experiences as a college student? I have always been traveling on a rocky road at full speed ahead, but through this short journey through college, I have found the rearview mirror to be an indispensable means to feel both progress from the miles passed, and enthusiasm for the mileage still ahead.

When recording your answers make sure that you sit up straight and your head appears centrally in the frame.
Keep the background as clear as possible. Avoid at all costs having a window behind you.
It is sensible to replay each recording to make sure that you are happy with it and if not just re-record it until you are.
Keep the answers clear and concise – potential employers don't want long rambling answers.
Most importantly, don't forget to smile

|Great route. I found the climbing too inconsistent (the whole top third is only 5.9) to rate this "classic", but still a great route.

Highly recommend! I thought this was stiffer than Sudden Pleasure, which seems barely 5.11, whereas this climb, at lest onsight, felt solid for the grade in a couple of places. The moderate climbing in the upper half is cruise city, absolutely enjoyable.
Can descend with one rope by belaying second up, then rapping to Sudden Pleasure anchors and a second rap to the ground. Works great for firing a bonus lap on Sudden Pleasure.

|80m rope once again proves to be the ticket at the city. 42 meter pitch, down easily with rope stretch.

|I was able to rappel and clean down to where I was level with the anchors on Sudden Pleasure, move over to it and pull the rope and then rappel from it and then clean the rest of my draws from Redtail with a 60mm. It requires just a bit of effort towards the bottom to move rightward to grab the last few draws.

The May bank holiday, which falls on May 6th this year, is just a matter of days away. Those spending the long weekend in London will have plenty to see and do, including no end of events and festivals to attend – and those with families should definitely consider paying a visit to the Land of Kids Festival.
This brand new event is organised by the people behind the similarly-named Land of Kings Festival, an annual music and arts showcase that takes place in Dalston. Land of Kings celebrates its fifth year in 2013 and, in addition to the usual gigs, film screenings and theatrical performances, organisers have commemorated the occasion by establishing a family-friendly spin-off.
With events taking place across various venues and outdoor spaces in Dalston, the Land of Kids Festival promises to bring "a world of curiosities to Dalston's doorstep". It takes place on bank holiday monday, and its eclectic and exciting programme should offer something for all tastes and ages.
Crafty youngsters can participate in a host of workshops where they'll be introduced to a vast range of different activities. These include decorating pearly hats, building a cardboard kingdom and flower seed bombing – where more adventurous, green-thumbed festival-goers can build seed bombs under the supervision of a 'guerrilla gardener'.
There are more educational diversions too, including a 'coffee compositing' workshop where visitors can learn how to effectively recycle their waste coffee grinds.
Kigu's Pop Up Zoo is sure to be popular, giving children a chance to come face to face with their favourite zoo animals and even pet them.
There will be face-painting from Squiggles and Wiggles, which organisers claim is "like having Picasso give you a manicure", along with delicious food for hungry guests from the Street Feast market.
Dalston is a pleasant spot in the heart of Hackney and easy to reach for those staying in central london hotels. The festival kicks off at 12pm and runs until 7pm.

Prince William is to return to life as a student on Tuesday by beginning a bespoke course in agricultural management at Cambridge University, amid controversy over his grades.
The Duke of Cambridge was accepted onto the course, designed just for him, with an ABC in his A-levels despite the prestigious institution usually requiring at least A*AA.
Student paper the Cambridge Tab described the Duke's grades as "mediocre", adding: "The Tab will be running a #WheresWills liveblog for the duration of term. The funniest photos of the Prince will receive a free Tab t-shirt."
After being warned by a criminal law barrister Bernard Richmond QC this may amount to harassment, the paper's editor said the liveblog was "just an idea".
The course is run by the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership, an institution belonging to Cambridge University's School of Technology, of which Prince Charles is a patron.
Story continues below gallery
The Duke of Cambridge arriving at St John's College, Cambridge with vice-chancellor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz along with Master of St John's Professor Christopher Dobson and Polly Courtice, director of the Programme for Sustainability Leadership
The University of Cambridge's Programme For Sustainability Leadership lecture rooms in Cambridge city centre where the Duke of Cambridge returns to life as a student today by beginning a course in agricultural management.
William will learn about the issues facing the UK's rural communities and the farming industry during the 10 week course. The Duke's studies will give him a good grounding for his future role running the Duchy of Cornwall, a portfolio of land, property and investments he will inherit from his father the Prince of Wales when Charles becomes king.
Cambridge classicist and TV presenter Mary Beard has even weighed in, telling the Daily Mail she hopes the royal will "meet some of our more ordinary students, struggling with making ends meet, worried about careers, future and debt".
Prince William graduated from the University of St Andrews in 2005 with a 2:1 degree in geography and the cost of the Cambridge course is to be met privately.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said, "The course has been designed to help provide the Duke with an understanding of contemporary issues affecting agricultural business and rural communities in the United Kingdom."
On Tuesday, William travelled on the 9.44am train from London King's Cross to begin his studies on an agricultural management course organised by the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership at the famous university.
He is expected to make the 46-minute commute each day for the course, which has been designed specifically for him but which will see him study alongside ordinary PhD students in some classes.
The course, which will end in March, has been designed to help him prepare for when he inherits the Duchy of Cornwall estate.
He will have 20 hours of teaching time each week, including work in small groups as well as one-to-one tuition and his own additional reading. He will also go on a series of field trips.
He will be taught by academics specialising in geography, land economy and plant sciences.
Modules he is expected to study include rural and planning policy, farming and supply chains, site management, agricultural policy and conservation governance.

I have read through some DNS literature and have a basic understanding of DNS and linux servers (still very new though) and one thing that I really do not understand is how the hostname and domain name relate to the setup of my mail server. Here is my layout:
My server name is pm04.cgroge.com
I set the hostname to this value pm04.cgroge.com
cgroge.com is fictional. I think this is right?
One of the domains I wish to server mail for is openbizguide.com
When setting up Zimbra the install will break and say that it cannot resolve the hostname. This confuses me because by using a fictional domain to setup my server it naturally would have no way to resolve the name!
Should I be using a derivitive of a real domain name to name my server? Should I instead use something like pm04.openbizbuide.com? (since openbizguide.com is resolvable)

I've got a couple of mountain bikes I've fixed up for touring. They work fine except for one thing: I keep breaking axles. My mechanic tells me I need to get better wheels because of the amount of weight I carry, but touring bikes aren't really his forte, so he really wasn't able to recommend anything specific.
I'd appreciate your suggestions. What should I be looking for? How many spokes? Should they be stainless steel? Double butted? How much will I have to pay for something decent? Brands?
Many thanks.

Jacksonville firefighters are took a hands-on approach to train for fire fighting.
The Jacksonville Department of Public Safety says a home was burned down on Newberry Street in the downtown area for a live fire training exercise Thursday through 5 p.m.
The home at 20 Newberry Street was donated to firefighters.
The home is part of a Clean and Green initiative by the city. There are plans to build a new house on the property.
After the burn, the department had a briefing to find out what they can do to improve their efficiency and response time.

Staff culture hits a new beat
As with many of my IT colleagues, my career has been shaped by years of working in large multi-national corporations. While there's certainly a lot of valuable experiences and knowledge to be learned along the way, you sometimes witness what I would call "cultural train wrecks". These become even more apparent once you are out of the big corporate game and running your own gig, or at least overseeing something on a much smaller scale. Hence you promise you will do things differently.
Taking the reins of Xero in Australia in February 2011, I felt both excited and a little anxious about having total responsibility for shaping the culture and personality of a new and fast growing business and team.
With the acquisition of Paycycle and more sales and support staff we recently moved to an office in Hawthorn, which we hope will be the next phase of expansion in Australia.
Work hard, play hard
One of the best things has been to transform a 100 sqm data centre on Level 1 to a full blown rock 'n' roll music studio. Try that in a big corporate.
I'll admit my influence here, but with at least 5 other Xero staff boasting various musical talents, this became an obvious use for a space otherwise reserved for racks of servers and cables – hardly something we needed when everything we do is in the cloud. Jam sessions (pictured) are emerging as a feature on a Friday after work.
Building our community
Another epiphany was setting up a hot desking area with the view that Xero is "open for business". For example, we've just started sub-letting desk space to one of our accounting partners who needed extra room. We will also be offering further desk space to a small number of Add-On partners that have solutions which integrate with Xero and who want to establish a footprint in Australia, but minimise startup costs.
We'd also like to encourage our accounting and bookkeeping partners to come and visit us whenever they are in our neck of the woods and need somewhere to work. Xero is richer for its partner ecosystem and this philosophy should extend beyond the product to the people we support, and those who support us.
Symbols of informality
As for how Xero staff work, this is much like a start-up environment. There's a complete absence of any individual offices. It's open plan all the way, with breakout rooms used for making private calls. The 2nd floor is also scattered with beanbags, posters, coffee tables and funky seating areas. And there's a staff room where the team can chat over lunch or enjoy a social drink at the end of the working week whilst shooting it out on Xbox Halo… I'm told Kinnect is on the way.
It's amazing how much impact you can make without spending a lot of money.
Help name our office band
But back to the band… we know there is a great deal of talent out there so we will be recruiting musicians from across our many partners to form an all star band to play at Xerocon 2012. We figured we would need a band name, so why not send us your suggestion? The line-up so far includes Bachman-Turner Overdraft; Clouded House and my favourite Joel Hanna and the Bad Debts.
We'll pick the best suggestion and announce it in the lead up to #Xerocon 2012.

A record number of men attended SAMC's signature event, the 22nd annual Men's Health Fair, August 10 at Northview High School.
This year 800 men participated, up from 750 in 2012 and 600 in 2011. Lab work was drawn for 353 participants, which was down 9 percent from last year, but up 5 percent from two years ago.
Results found an increase in men with elevated PSAs.
Less than half of all men tested (169 or 48 percent) were in the normal to low range on all their lab work. The oldest participant with blood drawn was 99 years old; the youngest was 16. The average age of participants with lab work drawn was 56.5 years old.
All participants with elevated PSAs and Testosterone levels that had no urologist were referred to Urological Associates of Dothan.
All participants with elevated cholesterols, glucose, and TSH, and who have no family physicians, were referred to Gregory Gibson, DO, of Southern Clinic.
Seven of our physician partners participated in the health fair, including: Robert Schuyler, MD, Jason Phillips, MD, and Joseph Clements, MD, of Urological Associates of Dothan; Steve Stokes, MD, of Southeast Cancer Center; Timothy Knudsen, MD, of ENTCare; H.L. Lassiter, MD, of Southeast Family Healthcare in Midland City; and Gregory Gibson, DO, Southern Clinic, who signed orders for the event and took call on critical issues.
Four medical students from ACOM also assisted, as did an additional 150 volunteers including SAMC team members and adult volunteers, and representatives from the Houston County Health Department, Knights of Columbus, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Dothan firefighters and Mickey Andrews, former defensive coordinator at Florida State University who served as the spokesman for this year's event. Media coverage included a live remote with WOOF Radio; WTVY; WDHN; and the Dothan Eagle.

3.2: Move Those Chains
This activity is intended to supplement Calculus, Chapter 2, Lesson 5.
Time Required: 15 minutes
Activity Overview
In this activity, students will explore the Chain Rule. Students are first asked to make a conjecture about the derivative of based on the Power Rule. They are then asked to graph their derivative function and compare it to the graph of . They will then examine "true" statements about various derivatives of composite functions. They will observe patterns and use these patterns to create a rule for finding the derivatives of other composite functions. They will then use their rule to create "true" examples of their own.
Topic: Chain Rule
- Derivative of a composite function
Teacher Preparation and Notes
- Students will type in the entry line of the TI-89. When they press ENTER, the TI-89 will return the expression in 'pretty print', and it will appear as .
- Note: Some functions will have an independent variable other than to familiarize students with using other variables.
- The true statements show the derivatives in unsimplified form so that students will more easily identify the patterns.
Associated Materials
- Student Worksheet: Move those Chains http://www.ck12.org/flexr/chapter/9727, scroll down to the second activity.
Problem 1
Students are asked to make a conjecture about what the derivative of is using the Power Rule. From the home screen, students are to go to the Editor by pressing . Students should enter the function in , nDeriv in , and their conjecture about the derivative of in . (To access the nDeriv command, go to the Math menu ( [MATH]) and select B:Calculus > A:nDeriv(.) Students should graph only functions and . (To deselect a function, highlight the function and press . Note: The graph may take a minute to appear. If a student's conjecture is correct, the graphs of and will coincide. If a student's conjecture is incorrect the graphs of and will not coincide.
Students are asked to expand , and take the derivative of this expression term by term. They are then to compare it to .
1. Sample answer:
2. Sample answer: No, my answer was not correct. I can try expanding the function before taking the derivative.
Problem 2
Students are asked to examine "true" statements of the derivatives of composite functions while looking for patterns. They are asked to discuss the patterns they observed with fellow students.
Students are asked to use the pattern observed to make "true" derivative of composite function statements. If the handheld does not return the word 'true,' students can try again by pressing ENTER, editing their solution, and pressing ENTER again.
The Chain Rule is presented to students, and they are asked to write three additional true statements.
4. Sample answer: The Power Rule is applied to the "outer" function, then is multiplied by the derivative of the "inner" function.
8. Answers may vary.
Problem 3 – Homework Problems
Students are given five additional exercises that can be used as homework problems or as extra practice during class.

Millennials are right. Voice mails are terrible. – The Washington Post
It is just that I live by the Millennial Code, which can be summarized in the brief phrase: "If it mattered, he'd have texted."
The New York Times has picked up on this trend (unlike Millennials, who never pick up anything ever, especially if that thing is a phone, am I right, Newspaper Subscribers?) and wrote about it last week. Among the facts they cited: Voice mails among the general population are down by 8 percent from October of last year to April, and overall, everyone sends something like 60 texts per day instead, and nobody makes land-line calls anymore. I could have told you that!
But I don't think this is a terrible development.
A phone is not for making calls.
Phones are actually devices that you use to avoid talking to people, and anyone who thinks otherwise is surely older than 30.
Look at your smartphone. This slim, elegant screen can transport you instantly to the Internet, show you videos of all kinds, allow you to play complex and time-wasting games, send detailed e-mails and even provide you with robotic companionship. ("Siri, what are you wearing?") Why on earth would you waste all this bounty on a phone call?
Yep. I have some amount of voice minutes on my phone plan, but I have no idea what it is. It includes "rollover," so, given that I average about six minutes a month making actual phone calls – (Costco – "What aisle are you in? Bye) – I probably have more than enough minutes by now to cover my voice calls for the rest of my life.
I delete my voice mails unexamined and unanswered.
I text. Not a lot, but when usinig the phone as a communications instrument, this is my go-to method.
I call my sister on her landline from my landline at home, for those breezy, rambling weekly family chats.
Other than that, I use my phone to browse the web, read books, watch movies, watch tv shows, look up stuff, calculate, make notes to myself, take pictures, send pictures to people, deal with social media, and a dozen other things that aren't, you know, telephone calls.
Which is why I find those goat-bearded, hipster douchebag poseur Apple fanbois who are so appalled by big phones to be so ludicrous. "You look so silly putting one of those up against your head," they shriek hysterically.
I don't put my phone up against my head. You do that to make phone calls, and I don't make phone calls.
Which is why my current "phone" has a seven inch screen and bluetooth 4.0. Works just fine for the few minutes a month I actually use it to talk to somebody, but works even better for all of the stuff I really have it for.

Sgt.-Maj. Baynesain Kasahun was killed during infiltration into Israel; ten days later, his fourth daughter was born. Widow: 'I forgot about the pain during labor, and only felt pain for him.'
Gilad Morag
Published: 08.01.14, 00:01 / Israel News
Gilad Morag
Kasahun was a combat soldier in the Gaza Division's northern brigade and was killed in the incident in which terrorists infiltrated an area near Kibbutz Nir Am and fired an anti-tank missile at the troops.
Three other soldiers were also killed in the incident: Col. Dolev Kidar, 38, from Modi'in, Sgt. Nadav Goldmacher, 23, from Be'er Sheva and Second lieutenant Yuval Heiman, 21, from Efrat.
"It was an easy birth and that would have made him happy. He had been waiting for this birth," Kasahun, 34, told Ynet. It tore me up that I couldn't call him or text him. It's unfathomable."
"I don't know how to go on from here. It will be difficult. Nothing can fill the void, the gap that has been created. But God willing it will be fine."
Kasahun added that the strength of her children inspires her. "I try not to cry for the children and believe that he would like for us to get back to normal. I hope at least that ultimately there will be a long-term calm and that there won't be another mother joining this circle in a year or two."
"My father was a hero," Kasahun's 7-year-old daughter told Israeli channel 2. "It was thanks to him that seven terrorists were killed."

I have a 1999 Campy Chorus 9 speed group that I'm thinking about moving onto a refinished RB-1. I currently have a perfectly functional Ultegra 9 group on there now, so this is about seeing how the other half lives. I am not familiar with how the left Ergo shifter works, so I'm unsure if my lever rebuild was done correctly. I want to make sure I have it right before installing the grouppo. The downshift on the left lever seems to move proportional to how far you move the thumb lever (i.e. a large throw on the lever produces more cable movement). Shimano simply "clicks" in distinct increments and has only three clicks for a double chainring (at all of mine only have three). I can upshift one click at a time, if that's useful information.
I also wouldn't mind anyone's thoughts on whether it's worth the hassle to make the switch. I will also need to build a wheel, but that's no big deal.

• New Orleanian Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., better known to the world at large as Lil Wayne, has jammed a couple of lifetimes into his first 30 years, but that's bound to happen when you sign a music contract at age 9. That's when Wayne linked up with rapper B.G. to form the duo the B.G.'z and became part of the renowned Cash Money roster.
His solo effort, Tha Carter, in 2004 vaulted Wayne into the musical stratosphere, exposing him to wider mainstream audiences and made him a Rap superstar.
In 2008, Wayne dropped Tha Carter III, which had first-week sales in excess of one million (it ultimately sold more than three million).
In 2010, Wayne's debut Rock album Rebirth was critically panned (but sold enough to go Gold) and he was sentenced to a year in prison for a 2007 gun charge. I Am Not a Human Being was released while Wayne was incarcerated, debuting at No.
After his release from prison, Wayne finished Tha Carter IV, which became his third No. 1 album, and this year saw the release of I Am Not a Human Being II. Wayne has maintained that he'll retire at 35 and that the imminent Tha Carter V will be his last album. Last chance to see Weezy? Never say never with Lil Wayne in the mix. (BB)
• The strains of an anonymous woman aside, the first thing you hear on "Fuckin' Problems," A$AP Rocky's late 2012 banger, is neither Rocky nor guests Drake or Kendrick Lamar, but 2 Chainz, who gets to deliver the hook: "I love bad bitches, that's my fuckin' problem/And yeah, I like to fuck/I got a fuckin' problem." The passage is simultaneously shallow, stupid and weirdly brilliant in its own way, making Tauheed Epps (aka 2 Chainz) perfect for the job.
Epps, the College Park, Ga.,-based MC
formerly known as Tity Boi, has a hype man's aura despite building a
real sturdy career for himself. He has scored multiple mainstream hits
(not the least of which is "Birthday Song," which includes the genius
turn of phrase, "She got a big booty, so I call her Big Booty"), but his
mass appeal is rooted in his role as a guy who visits (or throws) big,
dumb parties while spending a lot of time flanked by his friends in high
places. In 2012, he worked alongside Nicki Minaj, Tyga and French
Montana, while this year has seen collaborations with B.o.B., Major
Lazer, Sean Paul and Young Jeezy. If you want a rapper who is loud and
over-the-top enough to pull off a line like, "When I die, bury me in the
Gucci store," while keeping it light on the irony, 2 Chainz is your

Evening Primrose Oil also helps maintain healthy skin and circulatory function.* NOW® Super Primrose is hexane free.
NOW® Super Primrose is extracted by a natural mechanical method (expeller pressed) without the use of hexane or other chemical solvents. Super Primrose is a more potent, concentrated form of Evening Primrose Oil. Evening Primrose Oil is a good source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an Omega-6 essential fatty acid that imparts important health benefits.
By Upasana Abbott, NOW Quality Department
Primrose oil is valued for its gammalinolenic acid (GLA; 18:3 omega-6) content. GLA is claimed to be effective in reducing inflammation and treating atopic eczema, diabetic neuropathy and certain cancers (McDonald and Fitzpatrick, 1998). GLA rich oils are effective in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, age related diseases and alcoholism (Broadhurst and Winther, 2000).
In our diets, GLA is obtained from the conversion of the dietary precursor linoleic acid via the action of delta-6-desaturase. However, impairment of the delta-6-desaturase activity may result in the functional deficiency of GLA and leads to pathogenesis associated with inflammatory, autoimmune and other diseases (Wu and Meydani, 1996). Supplementation with GLA helps in alleviating some of the symptoms of the above health conditions.
At NOW Foods, Primrose oil is analyzed for its GLA content by performing gas chromatography of methyl esters of fatty acids. We use this method to confirm the identity of Primrose Oil by its unique fatty acid profile and measure the amount of GLA present in it. This is achieved by separating GLA from other fatty acids especially Linoleic and Linolenic acids. Linoleic and Linolenic acids are also present in common oils such as soybean oil, flax oil and walnut oil but GLA is unique to Primrose and some other special oils. The GLA content is accurately measured by using internal standards technique.
All these steps are taken to assure that our customers get what they are buying Primrose oil for: Authentic Primrose Oil and GLA content more than 9%.

In his State of the College Address, Dean Peter Starr last week gave an upbeat assessment of USC College and also challenged faculty not to be complacent, noting that standing still amounts to falling behind.
At the Jan. 30 event, sponsored by the College Faculty Council, Starr recognized some of the College's significant strides, pointing out that the size of the tenure-track faculty is at an all-time high of 494, and that progress has been made to improve the faculty's diversity. He also noted that the College's Tradition & Innovation Initiative, which aims to raise $400 million by 2010, has passed the halfway mark.
Speaking to 90 faculty and staff at the Davidson Conference Center, Starr discussed a variety of new initiatives and emphasized the importance of building a stronger academic culture.
"We've made astonishing progress in the College," Starr said. "But if we are to realize our goal of entering the ranks of the top ten colleges in American research universities, we must build upon what has gotten us to this point: the dialogue between deans and enterprising individuals on our faculty."
He added: "I see a need for stronger intermediary groups — departments, centers, institutes — and for a stronger academic culture grounded in forward-thinking academic values."
As an example of such values, Starr spoke of teaching as a form of mentorship. "It's a way of initiating students deeply into the habits of inquiry that constitute our academic disciplines, so as to be capable of doing significant research in their own right earlier than we used to think possible."
A professor of French and comparative literature, Starr joined the College faculty in 1985. He was dean of undergraduate programs before being appointed College dean on an interim basis in July 2006.
During his talk, Starr acknowledged what was on the minds of many in the audience: the search for a permanent dean and the anxiety that strategic planning would be on hold in the meantime. Starr rejected the idea that the College would stand still during the interim period.
"Every time a decision is made in the dean's office, planning is involved," he said. "Planning never stops, even in an interim year."
In discussing the past year's major achievements, he highlighted the Senior Hiring Initiative's goal of recruiting 100 world-class faculty members and noted that the target has nearly been met. In the past decade, the size of the tenure-track faculty has increased by 31 percent, from 376 to 494. They teach in 33 academic departments and programs.
In a tip of the hat to his predecessor, Joseph Aoun, Starr repeated a hiring mantra of Aoun's, who left his deanship in June 2006 to become president of Northeastern University.
"Always hire someone who is better than you," Starr said
Although the size of the tenure-track faculty will likely stabilize around 500, hiring will continue, Starr said. He noted that there is broad faculty consensus that the hiring of junior faculty should be a College priority. He also pointed to improvement in faculty diversity, a key initiative shared by the College and the provost.
Last year, the College hired several exceptional minority scholars, Starr said, including Robin D.G. Kelley of history and American studies and ethnicity — from Columbia University; Manuel Pastor of geography — from UC-Santa Cruz, and Sergio Sañudo-Wilhelmy of biology — from Stony Brook University.
The College also added a total of six women to the physics and biology departments.
"It's good news," Starr said. "But not good enough. We have made very significant progress over the past 10 years in increasing faculty diversity. But we still have a ways to go to realize our goal of a fully diverse College faculty."
In discussing finances, Starr noted that the College closed last fiscal year with a balanced budget and continues to make excellent progress on its Tradition & Innovation Initiative. In the first six months of the current fiscal year, the College received $26 million in donations, compared to $21 million the previous year — and is on track to exceed $49 million by June 30. To date, the initiative has raised $211 million.
"We're well on our way toward our initiative's goal," Starr said.
As part of the initiative, the George and MaryLou Boone Center for Science and Environmental Leadership broke ground in October at the USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies. The new construction will allow the College to host more leadership and planning retreats at the Catalina campus.
Calling research "the wellspring from which nearly all good things in the College flow," he said that sponsored research funds — money gained through contracts and grants — remains robust at $59.8 million per annum in new awards. And since 2000, the percentage of private funding for research — from foundations, corporations and individuals — has increased by 11 percentage points and now makes up 28 percent of total research dollars.
As the quality of the College freshman class continues to rise, Starr said, so has the quality of undergraduate programs. He praised several new undergraduate programs, including a summer research program now in development, the College Honors Society, and Team Research Communities — courses in which students conduct yearlong research projects, led this year by professors in geology, history, archaeology, religion and political science.
And he cited several other examples:
- Multimedia in the Core, launched this fall. In it, USC became the first university to incorporate multimedia curriculum in a wide variety of general education courses. The College built two new state-of-the-art labs for that enterprise, a joint effort with the USC School of Cinematic Arts' Institute of Multimedia Literacy.
- The USC Levan Institute for Humanities and Ethics, to be housed at the College, will teach undergraduates seeking careers in law, medicine, science, or public affairs about ethics and ask them to examine the challenges their professions face in the 21st century.
Starr also applauded innovations in graduate education:
- The College Doctoral Fellows program, which recruits exceptional students and enlists them to organize events, participate in the new Inside the Academics Studio discussion series, and help recruit their successors.
- The Master of Liberal Studies program, which targets non-traditional students, such as mid-career individuals seeking career advancement and intellectual stimulation.
After the talk, he invited the audience to ask questions, and the faculty entered into a half-hour dialogue with the five deans: Starr, Jennifer Wolch, dean of graduate programs; Wayne Raskind, dean of faculty; Hilary Schor, dean of undergraduate programs, and Michael Quick, dean of research.
Clifford Johnson, professor of physics, asked what the College was doing to more strongly encourage every department to diversify its faculty.
"Last week, I interviewed three African-Americans for faculty positions," Raskind said. "They were terrific. I know I have to wait for departments to vote. But if it were up to me, I'd hire them immediately."
When asked how the College can encourage all faculty members to become more enterprising, Starr emphasized the importance of "enterprising on behalf of a larger research vision."
"Do the deans have a role in fostering this?" Starr said. "Absolutely. It is important that we all work together in an enterprising way to do something of value, not just for individual research enterprises — though they must be furthered — but also for a stronger academic culture in the College."

Recharging our batteries
Sorry it has been so long since I've connected with the people of Roachland. I got lost in the best tour I've ever been on!! We are home now and I just want to give a huge thanks to all who came out and saw Crue Fest. We felt unstoppable on this tour and we hope we've recruited many new P.R. fans. Looking out and seeing brand new faces was cool and by the end of our show I think you all felt the energy being thrust upon your eardrums. The band feels very fortunate to have had this opportunity to tour with Motley Crue. I had an amazing time pulling double duty with Sixx A.M. as well. I felt the challenge everyday in doing both sets and it was just what I needed to better my chops. As you know we are finishing the new record and let me tell you we all have a strong feeling about this one. As with any record you try and better yourself and your song writing. I believe we have achieved this. The songs have great depth and emotion to them. Even though I wasn't involved in any other record I am very excited for the fans, old and new to hear our newest accomplishment. I can't thank the fellas enough for bringing me on board to help create this new chapter in the P. Roach camp. A huge thanks as well to our amazing crew for getting the job done successfully, day in and day out. We are looking forward to seeing you on our next run which begins in October. Thank you all for your unconditional support.

Everything fits great. thank you very much.
Everything fits great. thank you very much.
February 14th, 2009
Make sure your clothes are statement makers, but that the statement never speaks louder than you do. Just because you can afford designer logos doesn't mean they're right for you. Are they compatible with your professional message? And just because you can buy the very best suits doesn't absolve you from needing the services of the very best tailor.
A woman in a position of authority must project an equal amount of distinction in her dress up. The cornerstone of the power wardrobe is still the suit, but at this stage of the game, it packs an extra punch.
Now it's time to fine-tune your wardrobe with clothes of exceptional quality and unmistakable style. The goal: A closet full of statement making clothes that communicate success. To cultivate a collection that convey personal and professional style; and to dress, when the situation demands, casually but with authority.
Bespoke Single-Breasted
The most formal of suits, the single-breasted version has sharp lines, and notched lapel give a disciplined buttoned-up feel that adds up to create an impression of powerful authority. Fabric is a key; at this stage, a suit is only as good as its fabric. Look for light, almost silky wool that has a graceful drape and doesn't wrinkle easily.
A tailor made straight skirt to the knee, slightly nipped-in waist, an impeccable fit. For ultimate conviction, pair with a crisp white shirt. Make sure the collar lies flat on the suit lapels. Keep buttoned up except for either top or bottom button.
Coat dress
There is no mistaking the seriousness of the business when the fabric is worked in a menswear pattern: Pinstripes, Chalk Stripes, Glen Plaids, Mini Hounds tooth are all boardroom contenders.
For a more relaxed alternative consider pairing with a black turtleneck, knee-high boots and opaque tights in fall or winter. If belted, consider replacing the companion belt with one of higher caliber.
Long Jacket
The self-assured silhouette only works when the jacket is fitted anything loose will look frumpy
A single-breasted jacket, pocket flaps that lie flat, with a shirt in a similar hue, a scoop-neck cashmere sweater, or nothing but a set of pearls, all combines together an elegant authority.
Color is POWERFUL.
RED = Confidence, leadership, independence. Useful for presentations; shows security in one's role. Attracts attention
Color is quick means of communicating authority and style. A power color is an added asset: It commands attention, conveys control, and, when properly chosen, sends a consistent message about your workplace identity.
ALL BLACK = Serious sophisticated, determined powerful and practical in urban environments.
Own a color Pick a shade you like and make it your own. Wear it consistently. Choose one or two other colors that complement your personal uniform. A monochromatic look a suit and shirt of matching colors has high impact and is also elongating.
Patterns pilfered from menswear can pack masculine punch, while adding texture and diversity to your wardrobe. Balancing bold pattern with a simple tailored silhouette and feminine detail is a key.
Quantity Counts: Composed of highly designed, coordinated pieces, a power suit makes a statement. And a statement is remembered. Therefore owning just one or two is not sufficient. At this stage of the game, you need, and can afford more.
Tailor: A tailor you trust implicitly is crucial. Valuable traits to look for: Utter expertise in what is possible and what is not. Invisible hand work, Thoroughness - someone who when hemming pants, measures both the front and the back; when altering a skirt, measures from the floor up; someone who teaches you. Mouth is the best reference.

In a poem, Russian writer Boris Pasternak conveyed his unjustified persecution following his Nobel Prize in Literature.
Am I a gangster or murderer?
Of what crime do I stand
Condemned? I made the whole world weep
At the beauty of my land.
A young professor at Latvia State University in Riga, Latvia, Lev Ladyzhensky watched as the Kremlin forced Pasternak to refuse the prize celebrating Doctor Zhivago, a novel banned in Pasternak's homeland for its perceived criticism of life under communism.
Dr. Ladyzhensky had been collecting Pasternak materials long before the ill-fated 1958 Nobel Prize and the poet's death of lung cancer two years later.
This unique collection, spanning more than a half-century of turbulent Russian history, is now housed in USC College's Institute of Modern Russian Culture (IMRC), a library and research facility located in the Shrine Auditorium, across from the University Park campus.
"It's probably the fullest collection of Pasternak published materials in the Western world," John Bowlt, IMRC director and professor in the College's Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, said from Moscow, where he is researching Russian painter and scene and costume designer Léon Bakst.
In addition to rare books, the Dr. Ladyzhensky collection includes articles and essays from newspapers and magazines around the world, some chronicling the Soviet government's growing disapproval of Pasternak's work. It includes many rare photographs and Russian, Soviet and Western imprints.
After Dr. Ladyzhensky's death in 2004, his widow, Aviva, and her son Alex Brodsky searched for the best way to preserve the collection and make it available to researchers. With the help of Dr. Musya Glants of Harvard University, they contacted Bowlt and spent many months working with him to arrange the transfer of the collection from Massachusetts to the IMRC.
Bowlt said the acquisition was a major gain for the IMRC, a primary resource for faculty, graduate students and undergraduates conducting research on Russia's cultural history in the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection, he said, is a monument to both Lev Ladyzhensky and Boris Pasternak.
"Dr. Ladyzhensky spent many years assembling the collection, so we wanted to keep it intact," Bowlt said. "We felt a duty to save it from fragmentation."
"We are very pleased," Brodsky said from Massachusetts. "We always wanted the collection to be left in the hands of those who would preserve it as a whole and make it available to scholars."
Dr. Ladyzhensky had a strong affinity for writers in early 20th century Russia, known as the Silver Age, a period ending after the Russian Civil War, Brodsky said. Of the famous poets in that era — Alexander Blok, Osip Mandelshtam, Anna Akhmatova, Marina Tsvetaeva and Boris Pasternak — Dr. Ladyzhensky was particularly drawn to Pasternak's work and life in 20th century Russia.
Although never arrested as were many of his contemporaries, Pasternak was ejected from the Union of Soviet Writers as punishment for perceived anti-revolutionary views in Doctor Zhivago, finally published in the Soviet Union in 1988.
When Pasternak won the Nobel Prize, all publication of his work was suspended and he spent most of his time in rural Peredelkino, outside Moscow. His health deteriorated and he died in 1960, two years after winning the Nobel Prize.
Despite his suffering, he said leaving his motherland would be like death: "I am tied to Russia by birth, by life and work."
Born in 1929 in Kiev, Ukraine, Dr. Ladyzhensky attended Kiev State University and earned his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1955. A year later he became a mathematics professor at Latvia State University, and in 1960 he co-founded the university's computing center, among the first such facilities in the Soviet Union. Throughout these years he continued to grow and refine his Pasternak collection.
In December 1973 Dr. Ladyzhensky was arrested for distributing Samizdat, government-suppressed literature. He served three years in labor camp in the Urals, and in 1980 was forced to leave the Soviet Union. He brought his family to New York, where he worked as a senior consultant for Standard & Poor's.
After his retirement in 1998, he moved to Brookline, Mass. He continued to expand the Pasternak collection by adding publications from outside the Soviet Union and post-Perestroika Russia. The Pasternak collection was Dr. Ladyzhensky's lifelong project until his death in 2004.
At the IMRC recently, archivist Mark Konecny sorted through one of the large boxes filled with Pasternak materials. The books had already been placed in shelves. But there were several boxes still filled with magazine and newspaper articles and rare photos of Pasternak and his family.
One unusual part of the collection is Dr. Ladyzhensky's mathematical analysis of Pasternak's poetry. A talented mathematician, Dr. Ladyzhensky performed mathematical analysis of some of Pasternak's poetical works.
"This is a unique collection," said Konecny, the IMRC's associate director. "Without a doubt there's nothing like this in the world — all in one place."
In the collection, articles in various languages quoted Alex Zholkovsky, professor of Slavic languages and literatures in the College, an internationally recognized expert on Pasternak.
"Outside of Russia, Pasternak is known mainly for Doctor Zhivago," Zholkovsky said. "But for Russians, Pasternak is foremost a poet. People know his poetry by heart. He's one of the great names of Russian poetry in the 20th century."
Zholkovsky said placing the collection at the IMRC for scholarly research was a poetic finale for works and other materials involving a gifted, once-banned author.
"It's a great coup for all of us," Zholkovsky said.
