INDIANAPOLIS — Nobody will accuse these Kentucky kids of being the fastest learners. Not this season. And certainly not during most of Friday night's game against Louisville.
But once again, late in the game with everything on the line, they figured things out just in time.
Aaron Harrison hit a 3-pointer for the go-ahead score with 39 seconds left Friday night and Julius Randle made two clutch free throws to lift the fantastic freshman of Kentucky to a 74-69 victory over their in-state rivals.
The eighth-seeded Wildcats (27-10) led for a grand total of 65 seconds in this Midwest Regional semifinal. They'll play Michigan on Sunday for a trip to the Final Four.
"I told them before the game, you'll get punched in the mouth and you're going to taste blood," Kentucky coach John Calipari said. "You can fight or you can brace yourself for the next shot. They fought."
Few expected a run this deep for the Wildcats as this season played out and their five freshmen starters struggled to play a team game. But they've been learning slowly. They trailed by 13 midway through the first half, then by seven with 4½ minutes left.
Suddenly, things kicked in.
Actually, it was a sophomore, Alex Poythress, who scored five points and blocked a Russ Smith layup attempt during a 7-0 run that tied the game at 66 with 2:11 left. From there, it was the Kentucky freshmen who showed all the poise against the defending national champions, led by seniors Smith (23 points) and Luke Hancock (19).
Harrison took a pass from Julius Randle and spotted up in the corner for the go-ahead shot. Both finished with 15 points, as did yet another freshman starter, Dakari Johnson.
On the next possession, Louisville's Wayne Blackshear got fouled. The 71 percent career foul shooter missed the first of two free throws. Randle came down and made two free throws to put Kentucky ahead by three. Harrison guarded Smith and forced him to miss a tough 3-pointer on the next possession — "His first stop of the game," Calipari quipped.
The Cardinals (31-7) took the double-digit lead early, yet went to halftime only up three.
"I told them we probably beat ourselves a little bit down the stretch," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. "But how can any of us complain with the run we've been on?"
Michigan 73, Tennessee 71: Wolverines coach John Beilein had watched his team blow almost all of a 15-point lead, and he was sure he knew how the Volunteers would try to take the lead.
With six seconds left and trailing 72-71, coach Cuonzo Martin would probably send the ball into Jarnell Stokes, who would try to back into the post or drive. Beilein urged his defenders to buckle down and keep Stokes away from the rim.
Jordan Morgan, who scored 15 points, heeded his coach's advice and stood his ground until Stokes lowered his shoulder. The senior forward immediately crashed to the floor — perhaps embellishing the contact — but drawing the call that saved the game for the Wolverines.
Big Ten player of the year Nik Stauskas made a late free throw and nobody was more relieved than Beilein when Jordan McRae's 70-foot heave fell harmlessly to the floor as the buzzer sounded.
"We got just enough stops," Beilein said.
Tennessee (24-13) thought they got one stop unfairly.
"With the magnitude of this game, I don't think you could call a charge at that point," McRae said dejectedly after scoring 24 points.
But the officials did call it, allowing Michigan (28-8) to reach a second straight regional final.

I dig 50 Cent (say it fast, "Fiddicent") as much as the next hip-hop fanatic. Whether he's in the club or peppering a sista with questions about her loyalty or taking some cutie to the candy shop, he's a compelling entertainer who has taken the "Indestructible Brotha" persona to the next level. He's "transcending", as they say, or becoming an "icon", which is usually the code for "crossing over". Not long ago, I saw him on The View, sitting between Barbara Walters and Star Jones. Never mind what I was doing watching that show! The point is, he was on it, and the mostly female audience found him adorable. As they should—he's personable, stays fit, and his speaking voice sounds a little like Charlie Murphy telling those stories about Rick James on Chappelle's Show. If you like him enough, you can even play as him in his very own action videogame. That's great. Good for him. He's worked hard for it.
There's only one problem, though—Blood Money isn't 50's album, it's Mobb Deep's. Check the header above this text if you don't believe me. Truth is, you might not have known it was a Mobb Deep album if I hadn't told you because 50 appears on at least six of the album's 16 songs (there are two hidden tracks). And when it's not 50, it's Lloyd Banks. When it's not Lloyd Banks, it's Young Buck. When it's not Young Buck, it's Tony Yayo. Mary J. Blige shows up too, and there is some ho-hum production by Dr. Dre on a hidden track, the previously released "Outta Control". Open up the CD booklet and guess who? Not only is 50 Cent staring right at your grill, so are 40 Glocc, producer Alchemist, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, and Nyce. Oh yeah, Prodigy and Havoc (Mobb Deep, remember them?) are also looking at you.
But damn. Exactly whose album is this anyway? Where's the capital P and the capital H we loved to fear on The Infamous, Hell on Earth, and Murda Musik? Mobb Deep always struck me as movie directors, capable of using imagery to turn their rhythmic poetry into action sequences. Ten years ago, we didn't need to see the faux cocaine on the table in the Hell on Earth booklet. That's because the rhymes were more than vivid enough. Gritty, raw, uncompromising—that's what you should be thinking when you hear the name Mobb Deep.
Unfortunately, that's not the full story of Blood Money. And again, let's be clear here. I like 50 Cent and G-Unit. I just think a Mobb Deep album should sound like a Mobb Deep album from start to finish, not a G-Unit album. And not a Mobb Deep EP combined with a G-Unit EP. Last year, when MTV broke the news that the two-man crew was interested in joining the G-Unit camp, Havoc was quoted as saying, "I don't know how other people are going to feel about the move. It's probably gonna be a lot of hate in people's blood, but we don't give a f***. We're gonna continue making our music." Amen to that. But what happens if you don't make your music?
That's the story of the Blood Money album. It sho' nuff looks like a Mobb Deep album. The cover is classic Mobb Deep, with Havoc and Prodigy up to their armpits in stacks of cash, plus a Mobb Deep seal that mimics the Pyramid and capstone on the back of the United States' one dollar bill. They've always had a deep affection for paper stacks.
Plus, the first two tracks ("Smoke It" and "Put 'Em In Their Place") bring their vintage Mobb Deepness. On "Smoke It", our favorite Mobb figures float over muted percussion and announcement-worthy trumpet and French horn sounds. The Mobb's characteristic staccato rhymes are in full effect, complete with a neat little background sample of someone saying, "Smoke it". "Put 'Em in Their Place", probably the best song in the pile, features a gangsterish loop that'll have you expecting Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, or Bugsy Siegel to show up in one of those old black mob cars.
Then comes "Stole Something" and that's when the G-Unit influence comes in. Havoc's verse seems torn from the 50 Cent rhyme book and, when Lloyd Banks swoops in, you know for sure things have taken a strange turn. At least "Stole Something" maintains Havoc's minimalist production strategy.
The same can't be said for "Creep", which falls decidedly on the 50 Cent side of the fence. Not only does it feature 50, Havoc's production has a G-Unit feel to it and, as the loop roller coasters up and down the musical scale, all you can do is wait for 50 to pull in on the third verse and hope he doesn't steal the show away. Luckily, he doesn't, but there's no chance for suspense. You've got the track list on the back cover; you know there's more.
"Backstage Pass" starts out with Prodigy's verse, claiming that women will do anything to get backstage "just so they can hug 50 and kiss on Banks". According to Prodigy, guys will even give up their girlfriends just to be down with G-Unit. From there, things get even nastier, with graphic and unmentionable tales of groupie love.
"Give It to Me", featuring Young Buck, expresses the frustration of being teased, whether by sexy telephone talk or exotic dancing. "Yeah, I talk dirty and we just met", Prodigy raps proudly.
Too bad it's all filler, as is "Pearly Gates", in which 50 and the Mobb boast that they can talk their way into heaven. "Pearly Gates" also features lyrics from Prodigy wherein he appears to be threatening God and Jesus. That might have been a surprise, except most of the lyrics were censored out. Even without the censorship, it still wouldn't resonate—didn't that kid Riley, from Aaron McGruder's Boondocks comic strip and cartoon, already pull this stunt?
Things get back to business with the superb "Click Clack", featuring Tony Yayo. Even the Knight Rider theme sample works on this joint. "Capital P, Capital H" is also stellar, reintroducing us to the Mobb again, in case we forgot, and containing the best couplet on the album, from Havoc: "Revenge is food that taste best served cold / But we like it better when it's fresh off the stove". Skip past the lackluster "Daydreamin'" and the chaos of "The Infamous" (with yet another 50 appearance, ji-ji-ji-ji-gee-YOU-nit). The next highlight is the well-executed love song to money, "In Love With The Moula".
What's left? Two songs crafted solely for the radio, the Mary J.-laced "It's Alright" and the hidden track "Have a Party", which contains more references to G-Unit and 50 than 50's own albums. Call him "Curtis" or "Fif" if you want, but we still know who it is. The album ends on a weak note, with Dre's turn-the-sampler-on-and-press-record remix of "Outta Control".
If Mobb Deep didn't have their own history, their own discography, and their own mythos, contributions from 50 and friends wouldn't be a hindrance. But here, those contributions become intrusions that keep the Mobb from telling their own stories, flashing their own green, getting their own groupies. Traces of the original Mobb sound are still intact, while several tracks lend themselves well to crossover appeal. A good video won't hurt anything either. What's missing, though, is the Mobb's personal stamp on their lyrics and musical direction.

VEGAS INC coverage
An intermodal transportation center at the Las Vegas Convention Center is in the works.
Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority President and CEO Rossi Ralenkotter is expected to share details about the project Thursday at Preview Las Vegas.
Ralenkotter is one of five speakers who will talk about what's on the horizon for Southern Nevada this year at the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce's premier networking event. It runs from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Thomas & Mack Center at UNLV.
Speakers will address an estimated 2,000 attendees — the largest number of people to attend Preview since 2008 — from 8:30 a.m. to noon at Cox Pavilion. Tickets cost $80 at the door.
Ralenkotter, a longtime LVCVA executive, has been a staple speaker at Preview for years. This year, he will address tourism trends and is expected to explain the strategy behind refurbishing the Las Vegas Convention Center, an $890 million project that was delayed in 2008 when the economy soured.
The updated project, which has gained new steam, includes a plan to build a transportation center that would improve movement in and out of the convention center. Planning is in the early stages, but sources say the center would be located at what is now the Gold Parking Lot at the northwest corner of Paradise Road and Convention Center Drive.
Another speaker's presentation also will have a transportation bent. Tom Skancke, a longtime transportation consultant who recently was appointed president and CEO of the Las Vegas Regional Economic Development Council, is expected to discuss the role of McCarran International Airport, high-speed rail and the proposed Interstate 11 project on Southern Nevada's economy.
The event's keynote speaker will be Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh, who will explain how business, cultural, city and community interests work together downtown and how the joint effort can propel the city as a driver of innovation and productivity.
Other speakers include Jeremy Aguero, principal analyst at Applied Analysis, who will talk about leveraging the city's assets, and Kristin McMillan, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce, who will call for a change in community thinking to help the valley better compete and succeed in the next economy.
In addition to offering a platform for speakers, Preview is a business networking event and trade show. About 120 exhibitors — a sell-out for the show — will set up booths at the Thomas & Mack Center, and a new Resource Row will offer small businesses information about licensing and regulation.
Another highlight of the event is Preview the Taste, which offers food sampling from a collection of local restaurants. Businesses participating this year include Bahama Breeze, Slice of Vegas, Ricardo's, Café Rio, Genghis Grille and Tedesco Catering.

Young drivers and new motorists of all ages in Ontario will not be allowed to have any alcohol in their blood whatsoever under new rules that take effect Aug. 1.
Under legislation passed in 2009, Ontario drivers 21 and under will be required to have a zero blood alcohol count, regardless of what kind of licence they have.
"It is unfortunately young people who are often most at risk if we talk about drinking and driving," said Transportation Minister Kathleen Wynne.
"That's the stuff that keeps us up at nights, so we want to make sure we put in place rules that are going to keep our kids safe."
Novice drivers with G1 and G2 licences will also be restricted to a zero blood alcohol count, regardless of their age.
The zero tolerance for drinking and driving for people under age 22 was passed after the Liberal government backed off another initiative that would have limited teenage drivers to having only one other teen passenger in their vehicles.
A massive online protest on Facebook quickly forced Premier Dalton McGuinty to abandon the most restrictive parts of the legislation, but the government pushed ahead with the zero blood alcohol content rule for young motorists.
Drivers breaking the new zero tolerance rules for alcohol will have their licence suspended immediately for 24 hours, and face a further suspension of 30 days plus a fine of up to $500.
A second offence could bring a 90-day suspension, and young drivers could lose their licence if caught with any alcohol in their blood a third time.
Manitoba and New Brunswick have similar legislation, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving predicted the new rules in Ontario would lead to a significant drop in the fatality rate among young people.
"It will save more lives than any other piece of legislation at a provincial level," said MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie.
"We'll see a dramatic fall - we predict somewhere between 15 and 25 per cent " in young people's deaths."
Young drivers of legal drinking age are nearly 1.5 times more likely to be involved in drinking and driving accidents that involve death or injury, said Wynne.
"This is evidence based, she said. "We know that 19-, 20-, 21-year-olds as a group are seriously at risk for being in fatal collisions because of drinking and driving, so the rules need to reflect that."
There are further sanctions dealing with novice drivers who have too many people in their vehicles or are caught for certain speeding offences.
The government is also offering people convicted of impaired driving for the first time the option of a reduced sentence if they agree to install an ignition interlock device, which stops the car from starting if the driver has any alcohol in his or her system.
MADD said the idea of the ignition interlock is to change behaviour and prevent the first-time drunk driver from becoming a repeat offender.
"They're the highest risk group, so this technology actually teaches these people to separate their drinking from their driving," said Mr. Murie.
"It's not about punishment; it's about being smart about road safety and using the things that'll change behaviours."
In the last decade in Ontario, 235 drivers age 21 and under were killed in drinking and driving collisions.

I do not remember much about it but I do remember he was on a quest and he asked this island for help which turns out to be a whale or some kind of fish that hardly ever moved so animals and people lived on it. It had trees and grass growing on it
It agreed to help the young man on his quest
Sorry I do not remember much. It was shown on TV late 70's early 80's

XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP_AnyEvent - exchange XML via AnyEvent::HTTP
use XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP_AnyEvent; my $http = XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP_AnyEvent->new(@options); my $send = $http->compileClient(@options2); my $call = $wsdl->compileClient ( operation => 'some-port-name' , transport => $send , async => 1 # required! ); sub handler { my ($xmlout, $trace) = @_; # so something }; $call->($xmlin, _callback => \&handler);
This module handles the exchange of (XML) messages, according to the rules of SOAP (any version). The module does not known how to parse or compose XML, but only worries about the HTTP aspects.
In contrairy to XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP, this implementation can be used in various event-driven environments, via AnyEvent::HTTP.
Option --Default any_event_params []
. any_event_params => ARRAY
Options passed to AnyEvent::HTTP, for instance
proxy. The ARRAY is a list of PAIRS.
Compile an HTTP client handler. Returned is a subroutine which is called with a text represenation of the XML request, or an XML::LibXML tree. In SCALAR context, an XML::LibXML parsed tree of the answer message is returned. In LIST context, that answer is followed by a HASH which contains trace information.Option --Default action '' header <created> kind 'request-response' method 'POST' mime_type <depends on soap version> mpost_id 42 soap 'SOAP11'
. action => URI
. header => HTTP::Headers object
Versions of XML::Compile, XML::Compile::SOAP, and LWP will be added to simplify bug reports.
. kind => DIRECTION
What kind of interactie, based on the four types defined by WSDL(1):
notification-operation(server initiated, no answer required),
one-way(client initiated, no answer required),
request-response(client initiated, the usual in both directions),
solicit-response(server initiated "challenge").
. method => 'POST'|'M-POST'
POST, you get the standard HTTP exchange. The
M-POSTis implements the (Microsoft) HTTP Extension Framework. Some servers accept both, other require a specific request.
. mime_type => STRING
. mpost_id => INTEGER
With method
M-POST, the header extension fields require (any) number to be grouped.
. soap => 'SOAP11'|'SOAP12'|OBJECT
Adds some lines about module versions, which may help debugging or error reports. This is called when a new client or server is being created.
This module is part of XML-Compile-SOAP-AnyEvent distribution version 0.01, built on November 01, 2010. Website: http://perl.overmeer.net/xml-compile/
All modules in this suite: XML::Compile, XML::Compile::SOAP, XML::Compile::SOAP12, XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon, XML::Compile::SOAP::WSA, XML::Compile::Tester, XML::Compile::Cache, XML::Compile::Dumper, XML::Compile::RPC, and XML::Rewrite, XML::eXistDB, XML::LibXML::Simple.

With JAG's "resignation", I'm sure it was a case of "you can either resign, or we'll do it for you. What's it going to be?" Although I was a JAG fan, I was also shocked that they kept keeping him in. Why do some men lie so much?

When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, you know which one you hit by the one that yelps!
Is anyone here thinking about trying out for next season. I couldn't, unless they wanted a show about how to warm up a frozen Lean Cuisine in the microwave.
It does take a certain skill to warm it up evenly without exploding it. So you might have a chance. I doubt JAG can do it correctly since it doesn't involve 37 ingredients and it's only for the homecooks.Originally Posted by rt1ky;2476759;
Of the two, I certainly like Amy better than Rory, but wish Amy would quit using goat cheese all the time.
I was talking with my daughter about that this morning... She said she didn't like goat cheese... I said I don't like Feta, but had never eaten regular goat cheese. I wondered what you could substitute for it... Not much, apparently.. Maybe softened cream cheese, or yogurt cheese... Though I seldom have either of those on hand...
I was interested in her stuffed chicken breasts, but unless I can find a quick and easy substitute for the goat cheese, I am out of luck...
I am tempted to try them with Swiss American cheese...
Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits. ~Mark Twain
I didn't see the first half of the season (there is a marathon on now) and I found it funny that Rory did the worst in the first two challenges and here she is at the end.
I can't beleive it either, she is either paying or sleeping with somebody!Originally Posted by VanJagSol;2476850;
Rory's RR food was a heart attack on a plate. I'm all about butter and good ole Paula Deen food, but Rory's food scared even me.
Amy has been so consistant. She should have gone to the finals.
I have no problem with Jag padding his resume. It was a stupid and short sighted thing to do, but he made a mistake. He was probably forced to resign, but what else could he do and what else could the show so. Why wasn't he vetted BEFORE the finals?
Originally Posted by PK...;2476707;

I was watching the marathon and cannot believe that Rory is still there! Her wedding cake was awful! And as I look back I find her to be more and more unpleasant.
On the Jag subject, I feel like the only person that Jag's lying really affected was Paul. I think they should have brought back Paul and Amy and done another show with Rory to then determine the final 2. But then again... I'd just like them to bring back Paul because he was my favorite this season!
Amy should not have been eliminated in the first place, but either way I'm glad she's back. She was consistent throughout the show and I hope she wins!

Geneva Police officers will be putting extra emphasis on driving safety as part of its holiday enforcement detail this weekend.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a nonprofit dedicated to minimizing losses from auto accidents, the Fourth of July is the deadliest day of the year on the road. The main reasons for Independence Day accidents can be attributed to speeding, distracted driving, aggressive driving and DUIs, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Geneva Police will have officers heavily focused on these noted violations throughout the holiday weekend.
The City of Geneva wishes residents and visitors a happy and safe Fourth of July weekend.

Note that PostgreSQL on the other hand, has a much smarter query planner. So it usually makes better choices. But when it makes a wrong one, it can be a doozie. Luckily, reported strange behavior in the query planner is usually fixed pretty quickly.

Charlie Boots' hand-made, one-of-a-kind pieces, made from reclaimed and vintage fabrics, are an antidote to fast fashion and the over-hyped high street. And they're reversible! I had a chat with Charlie about staying sustainable (but stylish), her love of vintage and fashion's green credentials…
How did you end up as an ethical clothing designer – had you always planned to go down the ethical route?
I became a fashion designer at the age of 28, after wanting to do it since I was 10! I lived in Bangkok in my early twenties and would take my designs to the tailors to be made. This could be hugely frustrating, as a person's interpretation of a design often does not match the idea (not to mention the language barrier). I realised I needed to learn to pattern cut myself, and so then went on to do a fashion degree at Bath Spa University. It was here that I started looking into ethical fashion, and once I understand the enormous negative impact of this industry on so many people, I knew that doing it ethically was the only route I could take.
Illustration by Gareth A Hopkins
All your designs are made from 'ethically sourced materials' –what do you mean by this?
I use organic, fair-trade, vintage, re-claimed and sustainable fabrics. Using organic fabrics mean that cotton workers are not suffering serious health conditions and often death (20,000 a year) as a result of the pesticides used. Fabrics like bamboo and hemp are sustainable – these two in particular do not require pesticides, much water or a lot of care. 95% of my fabrics are sourced in the UK, though the bamboo, hemp and vintage 1930s/40s fabrics come from the USA. The kimono fabrics are from Japan, of course!
A lot of your designs are reversible – which I love! Is this another way to make your clothing more sustainable?
Yes, most of the designs are reversible and this does add to their sustainability. I finish almost all of the garments with couture 'bound' seams. This enables them to be reversed as you do not see any overlocking (a common and cheap way to finish garments) when the garment is reversed. This gives the garment a subtly different look. With some garments such as 'Cyra' and 'Cleo' the actual style and design is completely different on the two sides of the garment.
You design women's clothing and accessories – any plans to branch out into menswear or any other fields?
I love designing and pattern cutting but only have time to do so much! In the future I may put other designers work on there though it will still be limited edition and designed only for the 'Charlie Boots' range. It is very tough to forge a career in fashion design and I'd like to help people who have talent. I will also be selling limited edition UK made jewellery on the site from October.
How are reclaimed fabrics different from vintage materials?
A vintage fabric is a re-claimed fabric really, but a re-claimed fabric is not necessarily vintage. For example, some of my fabrics are sample pieces from fabric printers/wholesalers. These would otherwise go in the bin when the company no longer sell that fabric.
Is everything on each of your garments 'ethical' – right down to the zips?
At the moment all the zips and most of the buttons are re-claimed. They came from a company that was holding some abandoned stock that they couldn't be bothered to re-home. It was about to head for landfill and I came upon them by chance.
Illustration by Antonia Parker
When designing each collection, are you inspired by fabrics themselves or do you create designs and then look for your materials?
I normally create designs with a fabric type in mind but I don't usually choose the exact fabrics first. Sometimes when a toile is finished I think it would look better in a different weight of fabric, so will then move in another direction with it.
You have a ten-item limit of each design – why is this, and do you to ever make special one-off items?
Some of the items I have made are actually one-offs. This tends to happen if I have a small piece of printed fabric that I just have to use because I love it, but sadly there is only enough for one garment.
I put a limit of ten items on one design because I want to give my customers something unique that they are very unlikely to see anybody else wearing.
At the moment your designs are only available online – why is this? Any plans to expand to selling your product in other shops in the future?
My garments will be going onto a few more on-line shops and at some point they may go into shops. The problem with wholesaling is that I would make very little money if I sold my garments to shops at expected wholesale prices. Everything is UK-made so this adds a lot to the cost of a garment.
Do you think the fad for fast, throwaway fashion is coming to an end, and being replaced by a need for wearable, 'investment pieces'?
I hope so! But it won't happen overnight. Fast fashion is still a huge part of Western culture. Primark makes more money than any other high street clothes shop. Over the last decade the price of clothes has dropped and the amount we purchase has gone up. Shops can have up to ten 'seasons' where there was once only two. I think this kind of feeding frenzy will naturally create a backlash; when you look at a bursting wardrobe and feel 'you have nothing to wear' you see the futility and insanity of it all. If you buy an item that is well made, well cut and has had a lot of thought put into its design then you can spend more money and really value and treasure that item.
What with big name ethical fashion brands like Edun and Noir, and the Estethica tent at London Fashion Week, Eco Fashion seems to be having a moment – do you think the Fashion Industry is really trying to change its bad habits, or does it have a long way to go?
I think there is a growing core of people that want to change the ways of the fashion industry and I believe that it will happen in time. Educating people is important and I'm happy that educational establishments are paying a lot more attention to ethics on fashion courses. I suspect that a lot of larger businesses to a certain extent are paying lip service when claiming to be more ethical, but doing something about how they operate is better than nothing and it can help to bring the issues into the limelight.
What are the challenges that you face as a fashion designer committed to eco-friendly/ethical design?
I think my main challenge is sourcing fabrics that I think people will like and that are also ethical. I want to bring in more organic and fair-trade fabrics but the former are extremely expensive and the latter are often done on hand-looms – which leave small imperfections in the weave. These are part of the charm of such fabric, but I am not sure that everyone will see it that way! This all has to work as a business and I need to make products that will sell.
You exhibited at Vintage at Goodwood recently (a festival that caused a lot of debate on the Amelia's website!) What do you think of the day – a celebration of Vintage or overhyped and expensive?
I had the best time! Yes it was expensive there and in many ways it wasn't an accurate celebration of 'British culture' but there were some incredible things to see and do there. As a lover of design I was completely bowled over by the effort that people had made with their outfits (http://tiny.cc/qsoqh)! I had a fantastic time and I will definitely go back next year.
Any more pop-ups or exhibitions in the pipeline?
Yes. I will be selling at 'Fresh Fashion Flash' as part of Portobello market this weekend (of Oct 23rd) and for two more weekends after that. It is essentially a part of the market that is dedicated to fashion students and graduates as well as new designers.There is a little more information about it here!

How to Help Your Marriage: Don't Be a Jerk - What does your partner do that usually annoys you?
How to Help Your Marriage: Don't Be a Jerk
Every time I go away, my husband decides it's the perfect time to do major home improvement projects, which makes so much sense since he's alone with four children.
I know I should be grateful because it's awesome to have someone who is so ambitious, but the problem is that the projects never actually get done. The ceiling in the girls' room is still unpainted. Our shower was unusable for a week. And what exactly are the kids doing while he's putting in our closet? Honestly, it becomes more of a hassle than a help.
But since my goal for 2013 is to work on my marriage, I've been trying to change my attitude. And maybe, just maybe, it's working.
While I was in New York City throwing a party, my husband decided to redo our kids' bathroom, and like times before, when I returned, it was still incomplete. No light, no sink, and no working shower.
And like times before, I moaned and groaned, and gave him a pretty hard time about starting something and not finishing it. He apologized and told me that he wanted to surprise me and "Hey, see the cool new hooks on the wall and the nice paint!" to which I looked, then sighed as I always do.
Basically, I was a complete jerk.
After thinking about how I had spoken to him, I realized a few important things:
1. His intention was not to annoy me, but surprise me and make me happy. He was trying to do something awesome.
2. The bathroom wasn't really in use in the first place, except for the sink, and considering we have two other bathrooms, it was a minor inconvenience for the kids to move for a couple of days until he finished.
3. I would probably have never done the bathroom myself, so it was either have him do it and get it half done for now, or me never do it all.
Then I felt really bad for being a jerk.
Now look, there are a few things he could have done as well, like get some help to finish the project, or find a sitter so he could get more done. As incredible as the intention of this is, I think it's important to be realistic and understand the time involved.
But still, I decided that the good outweighed the inconvenient in this case, and told him so with a card. Nothing fancy, just a word of thanks to acknowledge his effort.
Apparently even though the sink and the light weren't working in the bathroom, the mirror was. Glad I stopped to take a look.
What stuff does your partner do that usually annoys you but really might actually be awesome?
The 2 most annoying things my dh does, are 1-make me repeat myself..he's constantly saying "what?" and 2-interrupts me. (drives me batty).
90% of the time, we end up making a joke about it. If he's said "what' to me for the 10th time in 5 mins, I'll say something like "Elmer, time for a new battery" or "and they wonder why women use more words"...and he'll come back with "well, you know men, we hear better out of the right ear, you were talking to my left"...LOL It's something silly he heard on the radio. Or he'll take a paper cup or a funnel to his ear and go "eh?"...lmao
When he's interrupted me for the upteenth time, I'll say "did you actually want an answer or are you just asking questions?" with a huge smile on my face. He'll ask like 5 silly questions all in a row and we'll both start laughing.
Most of anything that one of us does that may annoy the other is treated with humor. We both know our faults and don't take ourselves or each other super seriously. For what purpose? To fight? So one of us can have it our way?
idk, maybe it's because we've been married for almsot 22 years..maybe not..
But he has money issues. NEEDS TO HAVE IT. NEEDS TO SPEND IT. ON HIMSELF. AT THE COST OF MY SANITY. CAN'T STOP.
We're working on it. :)
He acts like he told me something( things I feel I should know) when he knows he didntand when I ask him why didnt you tell me he says HUH?! Lol! MEN! And he often tries to take over my conversation? I just want to squeeze his neck!! I know Im Bad!
Also, he plays some stupid video game on the computer. When he could be spending time with kids or myself, he is playing that! Which pisses me off. Bad!!!!! And when I bring it up to him, he gets all offended and says what does it matter?
Lastly, and most recently, my son was very ill and wouldn't sleep all night. Dh doesn't really get up with the kids because he works and I am a sahm. But when Dh gets home.from work, he is so tired and needs a nap,apparently a 2 1/2 hour one when my 37 week prego butt got 2 hours of sleep the niht before, I feel terrible, and we have 4 children I've tended to all day! Wtf?!?!? He's done that several times in the past!
LOL! Well... good intentions. :) When my husband doesn't finish something after a long time I usually hire a handyman to come in and finish up things- I don't make a big deal about it, but then the task gets done.
Quoting IWantLotsOfKids:
My husband is awesome, don't get me wrong.......with that said, LOL, he starts home remodeling and NEVER fully finishes them. Only two rooms in my house have crown molding, three light fixtures are literally hanging from the ceilings, master bathroom.....OMG!!!! Bad shape! I could go on and on about that!
Also, he plays some stupid video game on the computer. When he could be spending time with kids or myself, he is playing that! Which pisses me off. Bad!!!!! And when I bring it up to him, he gets all offended and says what does it matter?
Lastly, and most recently, my son was very ill and wouldn't sleep all night. Dh doesn't really get up with the kids because he works and I am a sahm.

Wtf?!?!? He's done that several times in the past!
my dh has a tendency to take over things, but I know he means well lol. Like when I said I would make us a headboard and asked him one question about it, then he's like, well we'll know more after we design it. and i'm like wait, what? lol. but he's a designer and he has a better eye than me so I know it will be better with his help, and I do know he means well. I just think it's kind of funny (or a little irritating depending on my mood lol) that he just steps in and takes over.
My husband is pretty great, really we don't fight or argue. We know our boundaries and limits and tread lightly when aproaching!
However, my only complaint is that my MIL is THAT mom who would fix 8 different meals if her kids asked for it. Her husband couldn't tell you where the glasses or water are in the kitchen, he's never had to get a drink for himself.... he never changed a diaper... you get the idea. She loves waiting on her family hand and foot (not going to lie, I kind of enjoy it when visiting them). Anyway, my husband knows that I am not that same type of person, I do cook most every meal, I do the laundry and iron his clothes and do pretty much all of the housework (and some yardwork), but I am not his mother. Sometimes he forgets that, and sets his expectations a little higher than I am willing to stretch.
I just gently remind him where is place is, and all is good ;)
My DH drives me NUTS with his procrastination!!! GRRRR!!! We have a 2-car garage!! It is so hard to get in/out of our cars b/c he has a TON of CRAP from work that is in the garage!!! This crap has been sitting in my garage for over 5 years now!! I cannot touch any of it, b/c some it goes back to the company he works for--and some of it needs to be hauled away to the dump!! Of course, since its HIS crap, IDK which crap needs to go back to his work, and which crap could go to the dump!! Believe me!! If I knew which crap could go to the dump, it would have been hauled away a long, long, long time ago!!!! I am one of those ppl who takes care of getting rid of unneeded junk in a timely manner!! He does not! Of course, he was raised by parents who don't believe in getting rid of things that are of no use any more! When I first met DH, his parents owned--I kid you not--5 cars that did not run at all!! The city got called in b/c you are not allowed to have non-running cars sitting in your yard for more than "X" amount of time! These cars had been sitting for years!! The city came out and told them they get rid of the cars within one month, or else they would start charging $100/day per car!! So ya! You better believe they got rid of those nasty cars and fast!! I was really shocked when DH sold his non-running car for $50!! ROFL!! ROFL!! YEP!! Some lady who owns a junkyard and has grown sons who are car mechanics came by and told him she would give him $50 for it!! TOO FUNNY!!!
My MIL has a motorhome that is so old, you cannot get parts for it anymore! There was a part that went out on it, and my FIL tried to get the part at junk yards, but of course, none of the junkyards had this part, as someone else had had the same problem with their motorhome! My FIL died in 2001. My MIL still has this junky, old motorhome sitting in her yard that cannot be driven b/c it is missing this part that you cannot get! GAH!! YEP!! If it doesn't make sense, you can be rest assured that is the way my MIL will do things!!

On top of this, Apple retains its 30 per cent commission, which the developer must agree to foot the bill for. Naturally this has caused more than a few perturbing chest pains for the iPhone development community.
Pocket Gamer did some digging into this policy, and uncovered the following passage in the Apple developers contract:
Whats interesting, however, is that it turns out this passage has always been in the developers contract - it simply seems to have gone unnoticed until the similar Android policy caught the medias attention.
Whether its new or old, however, the policy does appear to be open to abuse and undeniably weighted against the developer, who stands to lose a lot of money (directly into Apples bank account) should a large scale refund ever be issued.

It's National Nutrition Month, so naturally, our dietitians are all in a tizzy with ideas and cooking demonstrations and classes and new recipes to share.
Spoiler alert: I'm not actually a dietitian (although I certainly appreciate the hard work they all do – AND their genius recipe ideas). But I do like to cook, and I love experimenting with healthy recipes.
To be fair, some of these experiments haven't been the best ideas. For example, even though avocado is a healthy fat, it does not quite translate to a fat-replacement in a brownie recipe (sorry Gray!).
But then again, some of my experiments have turned out to be real winners. My shining example is my favorite, easiest-to-make, Katherine-Original-Recipe for Garlicky Raw Kale Salad.
"Oh my gosh, another kale recipe." – I can hear all those silent judgey voices in your heads right now.
You've had the sautéed kale with raisins and nuts and balsamic; the sautéed kale with soy and garlic. Fair enough. You've tried some kale recipes.
But have you tried this one? Because this one literally only requires 5 minutes of your time and ingredients you probably already have in the house. (And it can be winged without measuring utensils – see below – and tweaked to your tastes.)
And in case you're on the fence about another kale recipe ("it's so bitter" "it's too tough" "it's too fad-ish" "just…no" – I still hear your head-voices), let me just tell you that Katherine's Garlicky Raw Kale Salad has kind of become a "thing" around Atlanta, and it's converted some pretty tough critics, too.
Basically, this whole thing started from a rip-off of Whole Foods' Raw Garlicky Kale Salad, which I love so much.
"Surely this can't be too hard to make," I thought to myself one day, after realizing I'd purchased the salad three days in a row for dinner and needed to have an intervention with myself and my wallet.
So I tooled around in the kitchen one afternoon, and below is the result. And I must say…I think mine's better than Whole Foods'. Less dressing-y and way tastier.
I've taken this recipe to multiple potlucks over the course of the last two years (because it is SO easy, but it still sounds gourmet). After each party, at least one person asks for the recipe and then tells me later that they've remade the recipe for another party of their own (and had someone from their party ask them for the recipe)! Basically, this salad has started its own pyramid scheme of nutritious delight.
Here's how it works…(and keep in mind this is all approximations – Play it loose! Play it by ear!)
You'll need:
Kale: I used one bag of pre-chopped kale, but I've also used the leaves off of 1-2 bunches before
Garlic: I used about 1 Tbs of the pre-minced garlic here, but I've also used 2-4 cloves of fresh minced garlic, too.
Hummus: ¾ of a container of Garlic, Plain, or another flavor of your favorite hummus brand.
Lemon Juice: I used about 1 Tbs. of the kind in the plastic lemon. But I highly recommend using the equivalent (or more if you like) of fresh-squeezed juice from a real lemon. (If you have the time, that is.)
Parmesan Cheese: Start with ¼ cup and work up to 1/3 cup if you feel you need a little more.
Red Pepper Flakes: Adds a hidden surprise kick! Sprinkle to taste. 1 Tsp added a good amount of spice to this mix below.
Salt/Pepper: to taste. I don't often add, because the lemon juice takes care of the "zip" I'm looking for.

Serbia's Central Bank to Focus on Slowing Inflation Next Year
Serbia's central bank will seek to slow inflation next year while keeping its permissable target band unchanged.
The Belgrade-based Narodna Banka Srbije will focus on reducing price growth to 4 percent plus or minus 1.5 percentage points, from more than 10 percent this year and pledged to make interest rate changes "consistent and predictable," the bank said today in a statement posted on its website.
The bank will maintain a managed-floating regime for the dinar exchange rate, "intervening in the foreign-exchange market" to smooth its daily swings, encourage interbank trade, or maintain financial and price stability, it said.
Inflation reached 11.9 percent in November and the central bank raised the benchmark interest rate to 11.25 percent on Dec. 14.
