Alberta Ferretti Fall 2012
Why so much black? Are things really that bad? (Never mind, don't answer.) But seriously, what happened to all that fashionable optimism that was sprouting just five months ago? Glorious pastel confections; happy, shimmering clothes? Sure, it's fashion's swinging pendulum, and fine, it was spring, but wasn't it feeling good? It was! Then fall 2012 happened, and just like that, in New York and now Milan, black is back.
Surely Alberta Ferretti wouldn't fall into the deep abyss. Surely she'd show things that were frothy and light. Surely . . . nope, first look out: black.
Now, it was a very pretty black—a semi-sheer halter cocktail dress with thin, delicate feathers flying in the breeze—that was imbued with Ferretti's signature romanticism and etherealness (two qualities that have been mostly absent from the ebony elsewhere). The same can be said for her other frocks in inky chiffon and lace. Dark, perhaps, but, after all, women can't buy enough black dresses that make them feel beautiful and can be worn for almost any occasion.
Before the show, Ferretti said all the black was meant to highlight the detail and craftsmanship in the clothes (to be fair, there were a few dresses and furs in purple and blue). This was best exemplified by a structured, strapless cocktail dress with various fabrics woven in different configurations. When Ferretti went further with the dark leather, for pencil skirts or a sleek coat, it lent a femme fatale air to the collection.
What she'd really been thinking about, though, was menswear. Again, it's a theme other designers have taken on, but few have faced Ferretti's challenge which is, in order to stay true to her identity, needing to do something other than simply throw a man's suit on a woman. So what did she do? Well, actually she did throw an oversize men's coat over a sheer, embellished black evening look, which worked well, but additionally, she cleverly put very fine pinstripes on fluid fabric used for her diaphanous skirts and dresses. There was one single suit, simple and white, which made it stand out all the more.

Bittersweet Truffles
These delectable truffles make great holiday gifts. For pretty packing, look for mini foil or paper candy cups in the baking aisle of supermarkets or at specialty shops. While the truffles are still slightly soft, roll them in the desired coatings. Kids might like to help with this step.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Yield: Makes 24
Source: Everyday Food, December 2003
- 8 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Assorted coatings, such as crushed peppermint candies, toasted sweetened shredded coconut, finely chopped pistachios or other nuts, and cocoa powder
Place chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; pour over chocolate. Let sit 2 to 3 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Refrigerate (uncovered) until somewhat firm, about 1 hour.
Spoon mounds (2 level teaspoons each) of chocolate mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Return to refrigerator 15 minutes.
With your hands, roll mounds into balls. Place desired coatings in shallow bowls; roll balls in coatings, pressing in and covering completely. Return to baking sheet; chill until set, about 30 minutes.

If you've ever wondered if gift card usage is on the rise, just check out the numbers. Last year's National Retail Federation holiday consumer research revealed that shoppers would spend an average of $155.43 on gift cards for the 2011 holiday season, the highest since 2007. And total spending on gift cards would reach $27.8 billion, boosted by e-gifting, instant delivery through social networks, and mobile options. This year, spending on gift cards over the 2012 holiday shopping season is expected to surpass even those staggering results.
It isn't just retail tenants that are leveraging the power and popularity of gift cards – shopping center owners are as well. In fact, a significant trend among shopping centers is employing a gift card campaign that involves e-gift cards which integrate the shopping center website and online presence with the brick-and-mortar presence – with the objective of increasing sales both on- and off-line.
Gift cards are inherently easy, and that's a big part of their draw. The card is simply purchased, stored, presented and tracked; it is easily modified to present new, refreshed promotions and offerings at low cost to the shopping center. Savvy centers know that marketing the gift cards is key to how well they work. Gone are the days where word of mouth alone would carry the day. Digital marketing including social media messaging, email blasts, and multimedia tacts with properly implemented search engine optimization approaches make the difference between a satisfactory gift card campaign response, and an enormous gift card campaign response.
Following are 10 basic steps on how to run a proper shopping center gift card campaign:
1. Determine and list brands to be promoted that will best market the image and profitability of the shopping center. For example, include at least one anchor store if possible to showcase the big names in the center. Include smaller- stores banners to provide needed exposure and to show the diversity of the range of stores represented as well. Include at least one prestigious name if possible to hold up the value of the upper-scale brands.
2. Plan out the timing of the gift card releases to coincide with consumer shopping habits and lifestyle activities, such as around holidays, special occasions, or off-work times of day.
3. Target the customer demographics with appropriate content in all channels of marketing.
4. Integrate digital marketing into the campaign to include website announcements, newsletter announcements and social media announcements.
5. Create a separate microsite for the campaign to both communicate the campaign and track corresponding customer activity.
6. Allow, suggest and reward referrals to gift card purchases.
7. Include automated marketing email responses to inquiries, purchases and referrals.
8. Implement IP reverse tracking tools, Google Analytics and additional search analytics tools of choice such as Search Metrics or Quantcast to maximize data and analysis of customer and prospective customer response. Real time data will enable improvement on campaign results as the campaign occurs. Take advantage of the beauty of being able to change online content in seconds and be responsive where traffic is high, and build on trends in demand.
9. Implement video marketing to maximize the richness of the communication, the customer convenience and information-sharing. Remember to include entertaining as well as informative video presentation such as testimonials, or reenactments of positive experiences with a brand, and a gift card from the shopping center.
10. Build a sense of community into the messaging to maximize customer loyalty, and don't forget to have fun with the most creative parts of the execution.
The common elements that divide the highly successful gift card campaigns from the average include: campaign materials to launch the gift card both online and at point of sale, planned social media messages to inform and educate the market about the gift card as well as enhance consumer experience, and the creation of organic traffic through blog marketing, streaming video, and truly interesting marketing campaign images and material to the target audience.
Staying on top of the target audience's trends and purchasing habits is the key to creating the optimal marketing strategy that combines both in-store and digital retail marketing for the most complementary and sales-invoking outcomes.

Meet Michael Mack: the art of footwear design
One day, less than two months before Michael Mack graduated from SCAD in 2007 with a B.F.A. degree in industrial design, he sat on his bed and contemplated his future.
As he looked into his closet where his collection of 60-or-so pairs of meticulously cared-for shoes were lined up, an idea hit him.
Maybe he should design footwear.
On that day, a career was born, melding two of his great passions – art and shoes.
Today, he and his wife, who live in Brooklyn, New York, have a promising start-up shoe line marketed under the name of Michael Grey Footwear.
On his website, he tells customers that his shoes are a "distinctive blend of industrial design and architecture, combined with vintage looks of years before." He uses "hand-selected rich leathers, luxurious linings and materials from around the world."
In a recent interview, Mack said his shoes – both men's and women's – are selling well. He sells to customers online, at shopSCAD in Savannah and at the Iconic Fashion Lounge in Hoboken, N.J. His line now includes a men's high-cut boot, a men's mid-cut boot, two elegant women's high heel designs and a comfortable-looking women's flat. He has shipped shoes, which sell from $66 to $184, to the Middle East, Australia and Europe.
"We launched the brand 3 ½ months ago," he said. "And we've sold 85 percent of everything we had. The response has just been great."
Career preparation
Mack grew up in Goose Creek, S.C., a town of about 35,000 people north of Charleston. He loved art and knew he wanted to major in an art-related subject. As he thought about college, a high school guidance counselor mentioned SCAD.
"I liked what I saw," he said of SCAD. "And it wasn't far from home, so I applied and was accepted."
He started his SCAD career majoring in architecture. But he missed building things with his hands, so with the aid of a very helpful career adviser, he made the move to industrial design. This allowed him to further develop his sketching skills and better translate ideas to workable designs.
He described SCAD's resources as "vast" and said that his professors provided valuable critiques, which helped him with his learning.
"If I were to talk to students and give them advice, I would say that they have to be teachable," he said. "There is so much at SCAD that you can tap in to and take away with you."
Although he didn't continue with architecture, Mack said it gave him a valuable takeaway.
"What I took with me was the precision that it requires," he said. "I use it every day. I use industrial design and merge it with architecture in my pen work and my layouts."
Even though he has graduated, SCAD has continued to help him build his fledgling business. Current luxury and fashion management students have offered him short-term and long-term strategies for marketing through a sponsored project in a SCAD fashion promotion course.
He also has traveled the world for on-the-job training as well, visiting footwear production plants and learning design styles in the United Kingdom and Italy while designing for various brands such as Roberto Cavalli. He said learning the skill of handmade footwear in Italy allowed him to fine-tune his craft.
What's next
Mack says someday he hopes his line of shoes will be sold in department stores around the world.
"I'd like to be able to sell in the European market, the Asian market," he said. "I'd also like to have a high-end luxury line…to have one in the $500 range, and maybe even in the $1,500 range."
Wherever his company goes, Mack says it's very important to him to have an active role in developing the products, looks and brand of his new company.
"I don't ever want to be too far away from the actual workshop," Mack said. "I love sketching, designing, making prototypes…I don't want to come up with something and then just dish it off to an intern."
And as his company grows, Mack says he will be able to fulfill his desire of helping those in need through a program he has devised called Knowledge for Souls.
"Even before I started this company, I knew that I wanted to give something back to the world," he said. "Basically, I want to teach people to make their own footwear. Then, they can teach their kids who can teach their kids, and maybe they can even start their own business."
For each pair of Michael Grey shoes sold, $1 will go to fund Knowledge for Souls. Mack said he will use his experience in hand-making footwear make sure others are trained in that art and send them to areas in need around the world. He hopes to begin doing that in the next two to three years.
He knows of no other brand that has a program to teach making footwear by hand. Others companies have shoe-giveaway programs, but Mack says people can become too dependent on them.
"If you give a man a fish, he can eat for one day," Mack said. "But if you teach him to fish, he can eat for a lifetime. I want to be able to do that with footwear."

GPD: Man, girl rob would-be pot seller
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 8:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 8:44 a.m.
A Gainesville man was arrested on a robbery charge Tuesday night on allegations he robbed a man from whom he was to buy marijuana and then bought pizza with the cash.
Diamante Austin, 20, of 3300 SE 22nd Ave., was charged with armed robbery and conspiracy, Gainesville police reported.
The incident occurred Monday when police say Austin and a juvenile girl conspired to lure the victim to an apartment to buy marijuana.
When the victim got there, an argument started, the victim tried to leave and was stopped by another man, the report states.
Austin is accused of hitting the victim on his head with a bottle, cutting his scalp. About $50 was taken from his pockets, and he was allowed to leave.
Police interviewed the girl, who told them she and Austin conspired to lure the victim to the apartment to rob him. The report states that she told police they bought pizza with the money stolen from the victim.
Austin's arrest report indicates the girl was also arrested.

LOGAN, Utah - Matthew Dellavedova and Stephen Holt scored the Gaels' final 16 points to carry Saint Mary's to a hard-fought 67-58 win over host Utah State tonight at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.
Dellavedova ended-up with a game-high 21 points as the Gaels
moved to 2-0 on the season, while the Aggies dropped to 1-1. Utah State was led by junior forward Jarred
Shaw's 17 points and game-high 15 rebounds. Shaw sat out last season after transferring from Oklahoma State.
"This was a great win," said SMC head coach Randy Bennett. "This is a tough place to come in and play. They have an outstanding program and we have a ton of respect for them.
"Our players understood that and they were very focused coming in. It was a funny game. They beat us so bad on the boards and inside, then we dominated on the perimeter. It was a good thing we shot the ball well. We were pretty good offensively. Defensively, we were good but we got smashed on the boards. We have a lot to work on, particularly rebounding."
The Gaels return to action Sunday with a 5 p.m. tipoff against Eastern Washington. Tickets are on sale through the SMC Athletic Ticket Office at (925) 631-GoTx (4689) or by visiting the tickets link on SMCGaels.com. Since there is no television coverage of the game, a live audio stream and real-time statistical updates will be provided on SMCGaels.com.
Holt ended the game with 16 points, while James Walker III, making his return to Logan for the first time since playing for the Aggies as a freshman, scored 14 points and nabbed a team-high three steals.
Uncharacteristically, Saint Mary's was outrebounded by a 49-30 margin, but countered with a 67 percent first half shooting effort that included a 9-for-22 effort from behind the 3-point line. The traditionally tough Gaels defense limited the Aggies to 32.3 percent from the field and just 3-for-16 from outside the arc.
The Gaels started slow, falling behind by six points when USU's Danny Berger connected on a 3-point field goal to give the Aggies a 9-3 just four minutes into the game. SMC clawed back over the next three minutes and tied the game at 12-apiece when Walker III connected on a fastbreak layup.
The two teams traded the lead until Beau Levesque gave the Gaels a lead they would not relinquish when he made the team's fourth 3-pointer of the game with 10:27 left in the half. SMC led by as many as five points during the half before settling on a 3-point advantage at the break.
The contest served as the return game after the two teams played in 2011 at McKeon Pavilion in the Sears BracketBusters.

|Rodman 565 Cruiser
— By Capt. Ken Kreisler
— August 2003
New Arrival
|Can a cruising boat built in Spain compete with the best from America and Europe?
To be accepted in the Brooklyn neighborhood where I grew up, you had to prove yourself in the schoolyard, usually by playing basketball and baseball. So when Bobby Harris moved in, we kids were all waiting to see what he had—to see if he could make it. Well, Bobby turned out to be a terrific athlete, a good friend, and an integral part of the neighborhood.
With its line of family cruising boats, Rodman Yachts is the new nautical kid on the dock, and the Spanish builder has a daunting task ahead of it that is every bit as challenging as proving one's ability at schoolyard ball. After all, it's not going to be easy moving in on turf occupied by established domestic and imported brands like Sea Ray and Azimut.
Yet Rodman is serious. With yards in Vigo, Santo Antonia, and Moana, Spain, it currently offers 11 models in Europe, and that will be an even dozen with next year's launch of a 64-footer. And it's experienced. It's been building commercial ships since 1974 and has delivered more than 10,000 vessels, many for military and commercial applications. As I boarded the Rodman 565 for a test, I wondered how well her builder was able to translate the commercial and foreign expertise into a boat for the American market.
The basics certainly sounded promising. Rodman has received ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Environmental Standardization certification for all its boats. It also employs auto-CAD in developing each model and subjects prototypes of them to a series of sea trials, then dismantles, evaluates, and reassembles them, before beginning production. To maintain production quality, it regularly subjects a variety of building materials to laboratory testing.
You can see the emphasis on strength in the 565's hull, which is solid FRP below the waterline and balsa-cored above it and has six full-length longitudinal stringers. For strength and rigidity, she also has transverse frames every five feet that are tabbed to the hull, from the deck joint all the way through to the bilge, and balsa-cored decks that are laminated to the hull.
Rodman's military and commercial roots were particularly evident in the engine room, where I saw fully encased wiring, squirrel-cage exhaust blowers, diamond plate covering the shafts, exhausts supported from the top as well as the bottom to cut down on vibration, and a pair of optional three-inch auxiliary engine-driven bilge pumps that could dump some serious water overboard in an emergency.
All this takes on added significance when you factor in price. At $1,022,121 as tested, the Rodman 565 is competitive with, and in many cases priced significantly below, other boats in her size range with comparable equipment. In fact, many similar vessels come in at between $1.3 and almost $1.6 million.
It didn't appear that Rodman scrimped on the interior to get this price advantage either. I was pleased to find comfortable and well-thought-out interior accommodations, albeit the plan is much like many other cruising boats of her size. All three staterooms—the master forepeak, the twin guest to starboard, and the VIP to port—are tastefully decorated and nicely finished in cherrywood.
I found plenty of stowage in each stateroom, too. The master has drawer space below the berth, a pair of night tables with shelves, and a pair of hanging and stowage lockers. The guest quarters has a drawer below each berth, a night table cabinet, and a large hanging closet and stowage locker. The VIP has the same arrangement.

Switzerland's national security agency has warned counterparts at MI6 and the CIA that a massive amount of highly-sensitive, counter-terrorist data may have been leaked one of its employees – a disgruntled senior IT employee with 'administrator' rights.
Philip Lieberman, from Lieberman Software, explains how this might happen: "The problem is a lack of privileged identity management technology as well as lax and/or non-existent controls for access to sensitive information. Additional technology such as Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and access control processes for approval workflows exist to minimize these losses, but unfortunately most companies implement the elements after the damage is done. Organizations fail to appreciate how much access IT administrators have and what damage they can potentially due if their access is unlimited. We have preaching for years that even unlimited access IT administrators must be limited and appropriate controls must be in place. The fault of the outbreak can be traced to management and their unwillingness to get involved in the "details" of how their IT shops are being run and only concentrating on making IT run as inexpensively as possible."

Do you?
If you do, what are the steps you take from design to actual production?
I'm a lonely programmer and I keep repeating codes. Haven't realized the power of OOP yet cause I don't know how to start. Don't know what are the classes I need. Don't know how to design classes that could be used in other projects.
PHP's manual has a bit on OOP:http://www.php.net/oop
If you do not insist on writing code from scratch, use an OOP framework like CodeIgniter, Symfony, or CakePHP
My experience says too that OOP is very good.I like the style of book .If you want to use a framework I thing that it is obvious to practice first and then to use it at a production evironment.Look also at yiiframework.com
What are people's thoughts on Yii Framework?
To design classes that could be used in other projects, you should, for example, not have dependencies inside your class, instead add those dependencies after object creation$model = New Model();$model->SetDataBaseConnectionString("...");
I use Yii and my opinion is that is a good framework.It use OOP and MVC patern, you may as example extend a base class of the framework or use and extend other classes or just create your own.You may look here
thats a very nice book you recommended dimis283 Yii is something new to me. how does it compare to those popular ones like zend, cakephp, codeigniter?
i guess to design a software, we should start with a UML diagram? any recommended open source solution for that? like i'm using mysql workbench for doing ERD diagrams.
Yii is relative new but has its base at prado, I used CI and I thing Yii is a better choice.As I notice have many simiralities with cake as they are from Ruby on Rails as they saying.Netbeans.org has support of uml and php.
I tend to model my data first. Recently, I just start with an ORM immediately. Data access and updating is something that happens all throughout your app, so its important to centralize all the functionality in a single place right off the bat. Otherwise, you end up with queries in a bunch of places they shouldn't be and code responsibilities can end up mixed pretty badly. OOP itself doesn't solve these design issues or prevent you from doing things you shouldn't.
These day and age, developers don't do OO design as much as before. It's not like we're building from scratch. I'd say savy developers are more like "Open Source Architect". They would add the ingredients needed to make the developers to code faster! So, most of the time you just need build few classes that extend their framework. I hardly call Data model as OO design but if you do then this is where majority of OO design would fit in.
If you ever do java then these 3 are the hot tech to learn
JSF + Spring + Hibernate
By learning these, you'll automatically understand OOP.
Ive been struggling to understand OOP for a while, and after messing around so long I'm slowly beginning to catch on. Be patient with learning it, it's kind of tricky.
I think the first thing you should try doing is making a MySQL Class, so that inserting and selecting is really easy, then you use 1 object of the mysql class through your entire aplplication.
OOP alone won't make your code better, you can write non-cohesive and highly coupled code in OO languages, just as you can break OO best practices while using OOP.
Brush up on OOD principles: http://ootips.org/ood-principles.html
Decomposing an object isn't easy, nor can be it be easily explained, each problem is different. What good OOP will facilitate is easier refactoring, so further decomposition of an object API becomes much easier.
Just remember DRY KISS...keep everything extremely simple...no method greater than 25 SLOC lines or whatever your comfortable with...
Maybe so, but I'd definitely say that the learning process does. It adds another dimension to the way you think about programming. If you write a program procedurally, then learn OOP to a decent level, write the program in OOP then write it again procedurally, it's safe to say that all 3 versions will be very different.
Generally the 3rd (Procedural, after learning OOP concepts) will be neater and more structured than the 1st (Procedural, before learning OOP concepts), and the 2nd (OOP) and 3rd (Procedural Post-OOP) could be similar in some ways.
OOP seems to be a different way of organizing and orchestrating your applications flow. When I first started, I wrote functions for everything and they ended up everywhere. At that point I hated it. I've been sticking with it and, although I'm still noob I suppose, really like it. For me it is far superior to procedural in many circumstances. Of course, there are times procedural makes more sense than OOP but generally only when you are writing something on a smaller scale.
CodeIgniter is your friend, it forced me to use OOP and I haven't looked back. I no longer re-write code as all my classes are very modular.
CI uses the MVC approach for development, very useful for finding a good starting point with your application development.
I am just getting to grips with oop. I am rewriting an ecommerce site to use it, and there are some cases when i don't know whether to use a class or just keep calling a function/include.
For example, inserting the google analytics code. To insert a chunk of code like that (something that will never change, and will never be inherited from) is a class the best option, or an include, or a function?. Which takes the least processing?
Another example - i have a function, checkSession which returns the value of a session var or false. Presumably a quick lookup like that should remain a stand-alone function?
Something like google analytics code would maybe be not be a candidate for a class, however I think the issue is also how you structure your site, do you want to mix php includes with classes for example? Therefore it could be wise to make a statistics class just to keep thing organised.
"checkSession" function seems to belong to a specific class, maybe a session or user class depending on your class structure...so avoid a stand alone function for this
It's absolutely BAD choice using a PHP framework before knowing even basic OOP concepts, it's will mess you up...
First, learn the OOP principles, then try to make simple applications using OOP, only after this try a PHP framework...
Try reading a book on OOP, because it will give you a more systematic learning, than on blogs.
I recommend these books:Object-Oriented Programming with PHP5PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and PracticeThe Object-Oriented Thought Process
danman, re the checksession example. I use that everywhere. eg - if user is logged, don't show login tab, show account instead. if basket is not empty, show checkout option check if user tried to access the checkout page without logging in first (so it knows to redirect after login) for the id of the basket to add lines to
do you suggest i add it as a function to all sorts of classes?
No not really..A good approach could be to put the session handling in a class to be able to change that implementation if needed later on
class Session
public function __construct()
public function get($name)
if (isset($_SESSION[$name]))
return $_SESSION[$name];
return false;
And then the user class or basket class or something has specific methodsfor example a "IsLoggedIn" method that uses the Session class...
if($user->IsLoggedIn())// do something

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/9/2013 (1427 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Canadian pianist David Jalbert is a risk-taker -- both in his personal and musical life. "I'm a tennis freak," he admitted in a telephone interview from his Ottawa home. "I recently got back from the U.S. Open."
Jalbert is an avid tennis player, even though his hands are his livelihood. "It is a hobby I've been told not to entertain since I was young."
Jalbert's penchant to take risks can also be heard in his recent recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations. There are countless recordings of this challenging work, both on the harpsichord, for which it was originally composed, and on piano. Perhaps the most well-known are the two recordings (over 25 years apart) by Glenn Gould.
But Jalbert felt he could bring something new to the work, and audience members and critics agree. His 2012 Atma Classique CD was named Canadian Album of the Year by Musical Toronto. "I thought I would be eviscerated," said the 35-year-old Jalbert, "I thought, well, I'm a teacher now, so it's OK, but there hasn't been one bad review worldwide."
Jalbert will be performing "the Goldbergs" at the season opening concert of the Women's Musical Club on Sunday, Oct. 6 at 2 p.m. in the Muriel Richardson Auditorium in the Winnipeg Art Gallery. He's played there before and as a chamber musician with his trio, Piano Forte, in the Virtuosi Concert series. Winnipeg audiences got a strong sense from these performances of just how special an artist Jalbert is -- his obviously innate musicianship; the enjoyment with which he played; the simplicity and clarity of his approach and a thoroughly pleasant demeanour toward the audience. Really, this is a musician who has it all.
Embarking on the challenge of recording Goldberg Variations was a life-changing decision.
"I still don't know how I plucked up the courage to tackle the Goldbergs," he said. "It comes with a certain amount of mental illness... For a full year I had it rolling around in my head. It was a gutsy move, in retrospect, but I'm pleased with the great results.
"When I was young, Bach was always in my corner. I have a somewhat classical take on the Goldbergs -- a certain elegance, chivalry in the phrases. One of the strengths of the recording has to do with the tradition of varying the repeats. I bring to it my own imagination. I feel strongly about the music. And I am very left-handed, which is always an advantage in fugues. There are lots of one-handed voicings in the Goldbergs."
He has performed the Goldberg Variations all over Canada and the United States and will do so in France in November. "The first time it was like torture -- memorizing it all -- there's nothing longer to play. You have to have concentration throughout such a long structure. But now it feels fun and natural to play."
In between performances, he holds down a recently tenured position as associate professor of piano at the University of Ottawa, where he has 13 performance students at the undergraduate and masters levels and runs the chamber music program. He enjoys his teaching.
"It brings me joy. It takes and gives energy. I definitely have enough to do in a week, but I enjoy the balance it brings." The sense of community was an enticement. "I liked seeing people, feeling involved in the world. I feel I have something to teach. I have less time to practise -- after a nine-to-five day I still have to put in four to five hours of practising -- but I am becoming more efficient."
His recording career continues to thrive, with a new CD just out of Rachmaninoff and Chopin cello sonatas with Canadian cellist Denise Djokic. He will be back in the studio with his trio in October recording Dvor°k Trios.
And in his small amount of spare time, there's always tennis and listening to music.
"I'm probably the biggest Bob Dylan fan whoever played the Goldbergs," he said.

According to US author and journalist Christopher Caldwell, most of the immigrants who come to Europe are Muslims. So to accommodate Islam, Europe may change its basic values, thinks Caldwell.
"…Europe today lacks large, metaphysical ideals, self-confidence and a vision for the future. When an insecure, malleable, relativistic culture meets a culture that is anchored, confident and strengthened by common doctrines, it is generally the former that changes to suit the latter." says Caldwell.

ImSpartacus - Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - linkI agree. WVGA is fine on a $200 7" device.
Curiously, a 7" 1280x800 device nearly has the ppi of a 10.1" 1920x1200 device.
While I would love to see 1920x1200 7" devices (and 2560x1600 10.1" devices), the resulting 323 ppi would push the device (far) above the $200 mark and out of the impulse purchase zone. Maybe next year. Reply
steven75 - Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - link4:3 is much preferable to 16:9 on a tablet. That means you can use it *comfortably* in either orientation, and it matches the dimensions of a sheet of letter paper or a typical magazine perfectly. Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - linkIt also means you waste a ton of screen space during media playback. Reply
Spunjji - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkFor a start, this tablet is 16:10. Subtle difference perhaps, but then the general ballyhoo surrounding the change from 16:10 to 16:9 in PC monitors suggests otherwise. If you have trouble holding a 16:10 tablet, your problems extend beyond the tablet itself.
16:10 also enables you to have a nice 1:1.4 ratio page in the middle of the screen with software controls above/below. 1:1.4 being the ratio of the A4 page, also known as the world's paper standard.
I can make arguments like this all day long, but in the end it's personal preference and yours does not have some magical objective force making it preside over others'. Reply

Why not try Ainol Novo 7 Venus? Ainol Novo 7 Venus is a great alternative in my opinion. It is also powered by Quad Core CPU ACT-ATM7029 based on Cortex A9 that runs up to 1.5GHz,it has dual cameras,features the same 7 inch 1280X800 IPS screen as Google Nexus 7. One drawback of Ainol Novo 7 Venus is that it has 8GB Nand Flash,but expandable to 32GB - this is very important and matters,I like this.It's sold at $149.99 only from JSXL Technology. I share this just because I think the more choices of Tablet PCs,the better for us. Reply

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Behind Andrea Maxwell's 26th-place finish and Jillian Browne's 33rd-place finish, the Saint Leo University women's cross country team concluded the NCAA South Region 6K race in 8th place, tallying 233 points in the Saturday morning race from Sharon Johnston Park in Huntsville, Ala.
Maxwell's talents led her to the finish line with a time of 23:59.50, while also placing her in seventh-place spot on the all-time fastest 8K record list for Saint Leo's program history. As a junior, Maxwell consistently led her team with top finishes, finishing as a top runner for the Lions in many of the races that she competed in.
Followed closely behind Maxwell was senior Jillian Browne, whose time of 24:16.32 and top-two finish for the Lions concludes her career wearing the green and gold.
Freshman runner Kylie Fagan also endured a tough race as she finished the 6K course with a time of 25:04.07, marking her career-best 6K time as a Lion and finishing the race in 56th-place.
Along with Brown, Kelsey Bradley also finished out her career as a Saint Leo Lion, crossing the tape of the regional race at 25:35.47 and in 68th-place. The time also marks her fastest 6K time this season.
Juniors Elyse Snyder (25:53.01) and Lee Ann Antuna (26:03.39) finished within nearly 10 seconds of each other, collecting 74th-place and 78th-place finishes, respectively. Freshman Shelby Adams also finished with a time of 27:44.45, marking her second-fastest 6K time as a Lion.
"The course and atmosphere made for a great experience for both teams. We took five men and women who have never raced in a Regional Championship before, and this is the first time that both our men's and women's teams finished in the top 10," said head coach Melissa Miller-Mangen. "Kelsey dropped 45 seconds for a season-best time and a memorable experience for her collegiate career."
Overall, the University of Tampa claimed the rights to the top spot as they finished with a team score of 24 points. In addition, University of Tampa runners Kelly Hagan and Laura Yarrow claimed the first and second individual medals as they ousted the competition by a solid 10 seconds.
The race ends an exciting 2011 campaign which featured the rise of a consistently-ranked squad. Stay up-to-date with SaintLeoLions.com for news, updates, and information on the women's cross country team.

Spring BreakLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Mike Jones, a travel agent at the Bon Voyage travel agency, was mildly surprised when five college students stopped by his office last Saturday morning, since each booked his spring-break trip months ahead of time. Each student came into the store at a different time and booked a trip to a different destination via a different mode of transportation.
From the information provided, can you determine the time in the morning at which each student stopped by, as well as the destination and mode of transportation each chose?
1. Taylor came into the office at some point after the student who booked the trip to Miami. The student who booked a train ticket came in at 11:00 a.m.
2. The student who came in at 9:00 a.m. (who isn't the one named Allen) booked the trip to Washington D.C.
3. Brian (who booked a rental car) came in exactly 30 minutes after Paul (who booked a trip to Orlando).
4. The student who booked a trip to the Virgin Islands via sailboat is not the one who came in at 10:30 a.m.
5. Dennis is not the one who booked a bus reservation.
Answer9:00. Dennis, Washington DC, airplane
9:30, Allen, Virgin Islands, sailboat
10:00 Paul, Orlando, bus
10:30 Brian, Miami, rental car
11:00 Taylor, New Orleans, train

Canadian Teen David Thibault Might Be the Best Elvis Impersonator of Them All
It's Christmas time and Christmas music is in full swing on WKDQ. One of the most requested Christmas songs we have is Elvis' 'Blue Christmas', which by the way, was originally done in 1949 by Ernest Tubb. There are thousands of Elvis impersonators who put their take on the classic, but a 16-year-old Canadian teen has them all beat.

'In general, dates in the "correct ball park" are assumed to be correct and are published, but those in disagreement with other data are seldom published nor are discrepancies fully explained.'

A few days ago, on the cusp of my Houston Marathon decision, I decided to consult with an exercise physiologist who specializes in distance running. I was all like, "Dude. Something's missing in my training. It needs some tweaking. My running style is not typical, for I have only one pace. My 10k and marathon pace are the same. I need something a little more custom. I realize I'm not Olympic or Elite material, but I seriously want to see what I can do."
Mr. Exercise Physiologist said that for a nominal fee he could help and sent me a questionnaire. I filled out this questionnaire – took almost two hours to complete. Mr. Exercise Physiologist wanted some detailed information, like the last 20 week's work, cross-training, max heart rate, personal bests in various races, and how many jars of Nutella I go through in a year.
Right now, at this very minute, my custom training plan for this Houston Marathon is sitting unopened in my e-mail box. I've got the butterflies and don't dare open it. In the back of my mind, I'm afraid that Mr. Exercise Physiologist's secret decoding will say, "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."

I'm interested in selling. What can I do to make sure the price I'm seeking is in line with my company's value?

. The national practice supports private equity firms with respect to quality of earnings, due diligence and other services, and assists on more than 40 transactions a year.
An independent adviser can provide valuation and transactional data to the seller as a basis to determine the value of the business. The seller will need to determine whether to retain an investment banker or broker to create an auction-like market or whether to utilize the benchmark data to negotiate with a single party. There are pros and cons to both approaches.
In order to enhance value, the best approach is to begin the exit planning a few years ahead of the anticipated sale in order to work to maximize the value of the business.
Areas to focus on for enhancing the value of your business include depth of management team, diversification of customer base, infrastructure that provides a platform for growth, reliability of internal accounting systems in place and ability to produce data on trends in inventory turnover, margins by customer, vendor pricing trends, capital spending trends, etc.
