Dangerously Fit Boot Camp Sydney,
Wednesday, March 26th
Dear Friend,
If you want to get into shape FAST and stay in shape… then this could be the most important page you'll ever read.My name is Dan Clay … I own Dangerously Fit Boot Camp Sydney's most in-demand and fun fitness program… for the last 9 years I've been helping people just like you to get into the best shape of their lives.
Our workouts are quick, fun, inexpensive, extremely effective and only take about 45-minutes… and we'll have you looking amazing in no time... no matter what kind of shape you're in now.
With our workouts you will…
- Have fun
- Feel great
- Lose Fat
- Tone Up
- Flatten your stomach
- And so much more
It's important to me that our campers get results fast and have a lot of fun in the process… so we vary the workouts on a regular basis to keep things fun and keep your body from getting stagnant (which is what can happen if you do the same old workout routine over and over)
And our workouts are extremely affordable so everyone can enjoy them.
There's absolutely no reason for the ridiculously high cost of hiring a personal trainer when you can get BETTER results in half the time in a more FUN environment at a fraction of the cost… it's really that simple.
Check Out Some Of The Results Our Dangerously Fit Clients Are Getting…
"I've now lost a total of 21kg, 20.5cm off my hips, 10.5cm off my chest, 9.5cm off my waist AND 10.5cm from around my thighs."
I joined Dangerously Fit in September 2011. It was actually quite fortuitous – I had joined another 6 week boot camp previously and had been keen to get back into it when I won a 3 month membership to Dangerously Fit boot camp through winning first place in the AIM Great Debate Raffle.
Fast forward to Dangerously Fit boot camp. What a difference! No disrespect to the other camp, but starting at Dangerously Fit, I thought it would be a continuation of what I had started previously. I was definitely feeling healthier, but I don't think I'd lost any weight.
Helen led the group at Kogarah, and she was amazing. She got straight into getting to know each of us, what our goals were, our fitness levels and she was fantastic at motivating us each and every night to push harder. And her energy was infectious – we started pushing each other (thank you Kylie and Marina, my boxing partners!!). We all jumped into the 6 Week Body Transformation challenge – and to my surprise I actually won it, shedding 10.7kg over the 6 weeks, and claiming a year's worth of boot camp to top it off – no excuses now!!.
I've now lost a total of 21kg as at the end of the Feb-March 2012 6 Week body transformation, and 20.5cm off my hips, 10.5cm off my chest, 9.5cm off my waist AND 10.5cm from around my thighs. I have so much more energy, and I'm always trying to find ways to be more active. I hated running, and could barely run when I first started. Now I'm actually contemplating joining fun runs in my spare time!
It's great that with Dangerously Fit you have access to a full schedule of classes because it helps me find a class that fits in with my work and personal lives. I've had lots of help with my diet and now I am able to manage my calorie intake without feeling like I'm missing out on all the good stuff. I now understand areas I can improve with regards to my diet and fitness, and I have all the tools and support to continue heading towards my goal weight.
Thank you, Helen, Dan and the rest of the Dangerously fit team for helping me take control of my health and fitness!

"I have lost 14kg Kilos and 21cm round my waist, I've never been so lean"
I tried various diets and exercise programs in the past, I'd lose a couple of kilos, get a bit fit.
As soon as something cropped up, I would make an excuse for starting my bad habits again, and I'd put the kilos back on, plus a couple more.
I knew I had to do something that was more of a lifestyle change, otherwise I'd never lose the weight.
That's when I contacted Dangerously Fit.
Soon after following Dan's nutrition and exercise program I felt better, then my clothes started to fit differently, they were starting to become too loose.
Within a few months my clothes were practically falling off and I actually had to go out and buy a new wardrobe.
Since training with Dangerously Fit I have lost 14kg Kilos and 21cm round my waist, I've never been so lean.
At 44 years of age I can honestly say that I'm in the best shape of my life. People I know ask me what my secret is, and are amazed at how well I look, not just thinner but healthy too.

"thanks to Dangerously Fit I've lost 28kg in 6 months… I can't wipe the smile off my face."
I knew that by joining Dangerously Fit it wouldn't be a quick fix. I knew I would have to work hard to achieve my goal, it took years to put weight on and I knew it would take a lot of effort and determination to get rid of it but I was excited to try something different.
I'd been a member of Fitness First for 5 years previous and was getting bored. The intensity of exercise was no where near the level of exercise that I'm doing now with Dangerously Fit. Nothing was working anymore, I wasn't enjoying it and I'd lost motivation.
Dangerously Fit helped to kick start my weight loss again and motivation to keep going. I'd basically gone from the couch to running my first City to Surf and next Half marathon on 16th September! I'm so glad I started my two week trial in February… I haven't looked back since 🙂
My fitness level has increased dramatically… I could barely run a metre before Bootcamp without huffing and puffing – I ran in my first City to Surf this year in 1hr and 40 minutes .. Running the whole way! It's something I would never have achieved if it wasn't for Dangerously Fit!
My next race is on 16th September… Half marathon. I've lost a lot of weight and toned up. Since October 2011 I've lost a total of 40kg! But thanks to Dangerously Fit I've lost 28kg in 6 months… I can't wipe the smile off my face – I couldn't be more happier thanks to Dan and his amazing team – I can't thank you enough!

"I have lost 13 kilos… My stomach has flattened so much I sometimes don't recognise myself in the mirror!"
I have never been big on exercising, I hate making efforts, I don't like to sweat and I have a very low tolerance to pain.
The idea of joining a boot camp and getting up at 5am to go train sounded more like a joke than anything else. On top of that, I have the worst motivation ever.
But today, I am so glad I did it!
Some medical tests revealed an unusual rate of fat in my liver… It was a shock for me so I decided to turn my life around and do something about it.
That's the main reason why I wanted to join Dangerously Fit Boot Camp…. but I also wanted to look good, be leaner, fitter and feel better about myself!
Since joining Dangerously Fit Boot Camp my life has totally changed.
I have lost over 13 kilos in 10 months, have built some muscle and feel much more toned.
My diet has changed, using Dan's nutrition plans I now eat a lot healthier.
My sleep has improved, and even my sex drive!
I feel a lot more confident which has helped me perform better at my work too.
It has helped me to focus on my personal goals.
I feel I have so much more energy, my stomach has flattened so much I sometimes don't recognise myself in the mirror!
Now, I have a new goal: getting rock hard abs!

"In 6 weeks I've lost 10.5cm round my waist and 5cm round my thighs. I've never ever seen results like this so I'm extremely happy!!!"
I've always wondered what bootcamp was like and thought it was the best way to exercise especially living right by Bondi Beach. I wanted to make the most of being outside so I decided to try it out!
When I began training I would say I was at an average level of fitness as I've participated in sport all my life and went to the gym about 3 or 4 times a week, played netball and would run about 5k every week but at a slow steady pace. I never saw any difference in my body which was very frustrating!!
I guess I was eating the wrong foods as well, not so much chocolate and alcohol but lots of carbs i.e. rice, bread and pasta! Now I eat better and have such a better awareness regarding food!
The trainers and people at bootcamp are fantastic, all very friendly and I've made really good friends through it which is an added bonus! Its nice to hang out with like minded people who have the same interests as you – to maintain fitness and health!
Since training at Dangerously Fit Boot Camp I feel like I have so much more energy, I have increased my strength and stamina, go to bed earlier and wake up earlier which never happened before. I feel fitter mentally and physically and kinda look forward to every bootcamp session, so much so that I sometimes go twice a day!!
In 6 weeks I've lost 10.5cm round my waist which was my main goal and have also lost a 5cm round my thighs and a bit around my arms and chest which is great!! Now my clothes fit better and some garments are almost too big!
I've never ever seen results like this before so I am extremely happy!!
Jenna Lock, Bondi Beach, Sydney
"I lost a total of 11.1 kilos during the 6 week body transformation challenge."
I didn't really know what to expect from Boot Camp, I was worried that it was going to be people shouting at me, a bit like high school Physical Education classes, I wasn't sure how a group fitness environment was going to work for me.
Since being diagnosed with a serious illness 3 years ago, I had got totally out of the habit of working out, My weight had crept up and I had lost motivation to do anything about it. My diet was awful, eating all the wrong things and drinking over 2 liters of soft drink a day.
My best friend encouraged me make a change and we both joined Dangerously Fit.
I lost a total of 11.1 kilos during the 6 week body transformation challenge. I lost over 12.5 cm round my waist which was where I carried most of my excess weight, and have rediscovered my 6 pack, as well as reducing fat and toning up everywhere else. My fitness levels increased dramatically.
The trainers and training sessions at Dangerously Fit are amazing, they challenge you to do you best, in a supportive encouraging environment, and the support doesn't end at the end of the session, the online support and nutritional advice each week with the weekly food diaries was instrumental to my success. And the motivation I got each week from my fellow participants in the challenge was amazing, to work out with motivated people is amazing.
I couldn't be happier, I look and feel the best I have for years, my diet has improved dramatically and I've finally kicked my soft drink habit. I'm totally motivated to continue on with my fitness journey with the Dangerously Fit crew.

"After losing 15kg, I'm back to my previous weight and look even better because my body is toned."
After moving to Sydney I signed up to a local gym. My attendance started to flag as I got bored with the repetition of the gym machines and a lack of results.
I was making bad food choices and slowly started to pile on the weight. After browsing the internet I found the Dangerously Fit' boot camp site and signed up for the fantastic 2 week trial offer.
I was incredibly nervous about finding the groups and how fit everyone would be. To my relief I found a real range of fitness abilities in the different groups, with exercises challenging to everyone.
The classes were so friendly and the exercises different every time so there was no chance to get bored!
For the first few weeks everything hurt (in a good way!) but the pain eased off and I found that I missed the exercise when I didn't go! I even enjoy getting up early to exercise as the sun rises, leaving me full of energy for the day ahead (something I wouldn't have believed possible a few months ago!).
The trainers are fantastic- they really enjoy what they do and want people to get the most out of their classes. Jesse helped me push myself beyond what I thought I was capable of, and gave me support and encouragement when I hit a plateau' where I would previously have given up.
After losing 15kg, I'm back to my previous weight and look even better because my body is toned.
My fitness has improved and I'm stronger than ever before-I managed to break the Dangerously Fit plank hold' record thanks to the encouragement of my fellow boot-campers! Along with a teammate I met through Dangerously Fit (and 2 other friends) I completed the Oxfam 100K trailwalker in less than 24 hours (and was even back at boot camp on the Monday!) I can't wait for the next challenge!
Vicky Dawkins, Centennial Park, Sydney
"I have lost 22kg, over 16% body fat and 32.5cm round my waist"
"I was never much of an exerciser and had tried dieting a couple of times but as soon as I stopped dieting I would pile the weight back on.
I can honestly say that my lifestyle was on a steep downward curve when it came to health and fitness.
I was in a terrible state physically and lacked the self esteem and confidence a guy in his 20's should have.
I then started training with Dangerously Fit…. 6 months on, I have lost 22kg, over 16% body fat and 32.5cm round my waist.
While I am more than impressed with my new measurements, I am even more impressed in how they have helped change my attitude and lifestyle.
My self esteem and confidence has increased by leaps and bounds.
Matt Veto, Randwick, Sydney
"I have just finished the 6 week challenge and I was amazed at the results. I managed to lose 6.7kg and 61.5cm in just 6 weeks!!"
I was really worried that I wasn't going to be fit enough to keep up with the rest of the group or even to get through the first class. It really was quite a daunting thought. I knew after my first class though that I had been worrying about nothing. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't easy but there are always alternative options if you are struggling with certain exercises and you can pace yourself if you need to.
I had pretty low self esteem, none of my clothes seemed to fit me properly and I just didn't have much energy. I travelled a lot with work last year and I really got out of a healthy routine. I didn't seem to be able to find time to exercise and I was pretty stressed with work. I thought I was eating healthy foods but I didn't seem to be able to shift any of the extra weight I had put on.
I have just finished the 6 week challenge and I was amazed at the results. I managed to lose 6.7kg and 61.5cm in just 6 weeks!! I was shocked in particular to lose 16cm of my waist, 10cm of my hips and 6.5cm of each thigh. The challenge made me really think about what I was putting in my body and made me much more disciplined with food.
Despite having finished the 6 week challenge and getting great results, I am definitely not planning on stopping Dangerously Fit. I really have found something that works for me. The classes are so much fun, they always vary and the trainers are fantastic.
Apart from losing the weight, I feel like I have so much more energy, I am sleeping really well and I am starting to notice my muscles becoming more toned. My clothes now fit again and most of them are actually too big – a great excuse to go shopping!
Jackie Tate, Coogee Beach, Sydney
"At the end of the 6 Week challenge I had lost 7.4kg and a significant amount of cms. I have a flat stomach and toned arms for the first time EVER."
Before joining Dangerously Fit I was concerned that I might not have the self motivation to attend as often as I need to in order to get the results I wanted. I would go to the gym about 5 times per week and did a lot of walking and running however, my diet was far from ideal and I was drinking more wine than is probably considered socially acceptable.
I thought I was doing enough to maintain my weight but I was starting to notice I no longer had the body of a 20 year old and it would take more of an effort on my part to stay fit and healthy.
Since I joined Dangerously Fit in July 2012 my fitness has improved tremendously.
However, it wasn't until I finished my second attempt at the 6 week body challenge that I achieved my best results. I stopped drinking alcohol completely for the duration of the challenge as I realized that regularly drinking half a bottle of wine with my dinner does not a hot body maketh 😆
I stuck to my calorie intake and took onboard the advice I received from the Dangerously Fit trainers. At the end of the 6 Week challenge I had lost 7.4kg and a significant amount of cms. I have a flat stomach and toned arms for the first time EVER.
I'm not going to lie, you never get sick of hearing people tell you that you look good 😆 6 weeks of hard work is a small price to pay for making a huge change to the way you feel about yourself. I feel fit and healthy and more confident.
I've learnt healthy eating habits and pushed myself really hard to achieve my goals. I love the social aspect that group training offers, the trainers are friendly and encouraging and I've made some great friends. Thank you 😆
Erin, Bondi Beach, Sydney
Before I joined Dangerously Fit I was drinking too many bottles of wine per week, eating bad calorific food, without much exercise and had bad sleeping patterns.
I was skeptical that the trainers would be 'shouty' and that I would not be able to keep up with all the other members due to lack of my fitness.
But the trainers are brilliant and so encouraging, they take a dedicated approach to your goals and are very motivating. Even though I am still the slowest in the class it doesn't bother me as I am there living it!
In the last 5 weeks I have lost 5 kilos, which is the most amazing feeling.
Especially when you put on your clothes and they are baggy. I feel so much clearer in my mind, I am sleeping so much better and my nutritional knowledge has increased dramatically. My whole mindset has changed regarding exercise and food and my positivity is just brimming 😆
Since I began training with Dangerously Fit I feel like I have a renewed focus, I have so much more energy and a new found passion. My life is now boot camp and will continue to be. I even like getting up for the early morning sessions now!
Taryn Hayler, Rushcutters Bay, Sydney
In 6 weeks I lost 7.2 kilos, 8cm on each leg and a lot on my waist
Before joining Dangerously Fit I didn't know what to expect and I'm not usually one to do any sort of group exercise. I knew however that the 6 week challenge would be exactly what I needed to get back on track with my fitness.
I came into the bootcamp after taking 6 months off my fitness regime. Although I was still fit when I first started, I lost my muscle tone and had some extra holiday kilos to shred. The eating plan in the 6 week challenge really helped me to reach my goals.
I have lost a lot of my holiday kilos and am back in my fitness routine. In 6 weeks I lost 7.2 kilos, 8cm on each leg and a lot on my waist which makes me both proud and happy with myself.
After the end of the 6 week challenge, I have kept up the eating plan by working it easily into my life. I have also returned to the gym and to running and will definitely take up the opportunity to participate in the next 6 week challenge.
Kristoffer, Balmain, Sydney
"I'm The Fittest And Healthiest I Have Ever Been (And For The Ladies Out There) – I Have Never Looked Better!!"
After living 8 pretty packed years in London with the odd gym session here and there, I decided it was time to get fit! With my motivation living in Sydney and by the beach ( and no longer near the local pub!! ) I was determined to look and most of all feel better in my bikini by summer.
Feeling sluggish and generally unfit I dragged myself to my first "Bootcamp" session. I embarked on this journey in Nov 2009. The first session with Dan was tough to say the least ( it proved how unfit I really was ) but this only made me more determined to carry on and reach my goal.
Within 4 weeks my energy levels were soaring, and feeling sore (but tighter and more toned) with every session I continued on. Starting off with 2 – 3 sessions per week (so not to overdo it) as my fitness improved I gradually increased the amount of sessions per week. This was easy with the flexibility of locations and times. I now do at least 4 sessions a week and a run with another "Dangerously Fit" Boot camper just for fun!!
The classes are always different and the trainers are great which keeps me motivated even through the colder winter months, hence the reason for continuing with Dangerously Fit after all this time!
Now training is as routine as "brushing my teeth". I feels sooo much better on the days I train.
Thanks for giving me a new lease on life Dangerously Fit…..I'm the fittest and healthiest I have ever been (and for the ladies out there – I have NEVER looked better!!)
Peita Gregory, Zetland, Sydney
"I have lost 13kilos, can once again wear a size 8 and have loads of energy to play with my Marcia beautiful children!"
Dan changed my belief of what and where my body could be and do. I really believed after having three children and turning the big 4 0 my body had changed forever.
I found the gym was not where I really wanted to be.
I struggled to get back into shape after baby no.3 so I begun training with Dangerously Fit. I was so nervous at first because I did not know what to expect, but it was the best investment I have ever made!
Bootcamp has challenged my mind and my body, I feel I can wear anything and be proud of the body looking back at me in the mirror.
I'm once again comfortable getting into a bikini, have lost 13kilos, can now wear a size 8 and have loads of energy to play with my beautiful children and run a successful business.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for giving me back the body I love fitting into.

Q. How do I register?
Q. If I'm extremely un-fit, can I still participate in your program?
A. Of course, that's why your coming to see me… everyone has to start somewhere and you'll be amongst many other people in the same position as yourself.
It's our job to get you in the best shape possible, as quickly and as safely as possible. So you'll be pushed outside of your comfort zone but never too far, our goal is to keep you motivated and injury free.
We have a basic fitness test at the beginning of every month and then pair you up with someone of a similar level to yourself, we perform the same fitness test at the beginning of every month to record your progress.
Q. Are you a military style boot camp?
A. No – we don't scream or shout at people, we're here to coach and motivate you so you can achieve your goals in a fun environment. Our 45 minute no-nonsense workouts are based around scientific research on what works in the real world.
Q. What does the Boot camp consist of?
A. The type of activities we do are a combination of resistance training (using kettlebells, battling ropes, sledge drags, dumbbells, medicine balls, Olympic rings, sandbags, bodyweight) and high intensity cardio (circuits, sprints, relays, intervals, hill/stair training) etc.
We also run boxing classes and running groups.
The workouts are designed for weight loss, functional strength and fitness.
Every workout is different to keep things fun and keep your body from getting stagnant (which is what can happen if you do the same old workout routine over and over).
Q. What about if everyone else is much fitter than me?
A. Don't worry about what your neighbour is doing, you are challenging yourself.
Q. How long does it run for?
A. Dangerously Fit boot camp is a long term fitness solution rather than a 4-6 week course, it's like an outdoor gym membership but with…
No pushy sales people.
No start up or administration fees.
No queues for equipment.
No stuffy, smelly, cramped indoor rooms (just the smell of the ocean or the fresh air of a park).
Better variety.
More accountability.
Motivation from our instructors and other group members.
A flexible timetable…
…plus it's heaps more fun.
Q. How many sessions can I attend each week?
A. You can attend as many classes as you like that are listed on our timetable, when you register your name will added to our role call so our trainers will know your a Dangerously Fit member. But try not to do too much too soon… especially if you're a beginner.
Q. How much is your program?
A. What makes us unique from other boot camps is that our members have access to all times and locations, we don't lock you into training at a specific location or a number of sessions per week… you have full access to all our Sydney classes – which run 6 days a week…. so you'll never have to worry about missing a workout!
You can choose from our 2 packages…
$197 per month for 3 months "Body Transformation Program"
$247 per month "Month-To-Month" (No long term commitment)
Q. If I sign up for the 3 month program can I pay monthly?
A. Yes – our programs are billed every 30 days via direct debit.
Q. Can I pay cash for each session?
A. Unfortunately not, our job is to get you in the best shape possible which is much easier if you commit to at least a 4 week training program. Plus it's very difficult for our trainers to find spare change for everyone at the beginning of each class.
If for any reason direct debit doesn't suit you, let us know and we can arrange a direct bank transfer (minimum of 3 months in advance).
Q. Do you offer student rates?
A. Yes – just email the office a copy of your student card and we'll hook you up with our student rates.
Q. How long is the duration of the class?
A. The majority of our classes run for 45 minutes, however we do run some 40 minute and 60 minute classes depending on the location and time of day. All session times are displayed on our timetable.
Q. Is it safe to participate if I have high blood pressure or an old injury?
A. If you're concerned with any type of health issue always consult your doctor before undertaking any type of fitness regimen.
Q. Do I need to bring anything with me to class?
A. Just bring a bottle of water, a towel and wear some light loose comfortable clothing and running shoes.
Q. Is there anywhere I can have a shower after class?
A. Changing rooms and shower facilities depend on the location. Many of our members will use facilities at the beach, parks or their place of work.
Q. What do I do if I want to cancel my membership?
A. Just send an email to admin@ bootcampsydney.com.au 7 days from the next debit date. If for any reason the 3 month contract is cancelled before it's expiration date, the amount of the difference between the cost of the month to month and the current contract cost per month for every month trained is due immediately.
Q. What do you do with my membership if I go on holiday?
A. If you let us know before you go we'll freeze your membership while your away.
Q. What if I miss a class?

Michelle Obama donned a long Halston dress at the White House Correspondents Dinner the same designer I chose to wear too! Hers was probably a gazillion dollars where mine cost only$75bucks. HOW you ask? I RENTED it.
PHOTOS: Journalists party in style
Yep- It's my new favorite thing. Renting dresses and jewelry from Rent-the-Runway.com. There's designers fit for the First Lady you can rent for a fraction of the cost. I mean- some are only $25! Not only did I rent the Jet Black Halston for the party night.. I got a Lela Rose dress for brunch the next day.
This is how it works. You choose the 4 day span to rent your dress for time to get it, wear it and mail it back. They give you all you need. Oh and here's a perk- you can choose a second size for free! The Halston halter was $455 but I rented it for $75. I also rented the this $545 Dannijo cuff.. for $45.

Here's the cuff I rented for $45.. the Dannijo bracelet retails for $545

LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles city and state offices, including the Department of Motor Vehicles and Los Angeles Superior Courts, will be closed today to observe Cesar Chavez Day.
Federal offices and services, including the U.S. Postal Service, will be open. Banks, Metro bus, subway, train and trash collection services will all operate on their regular schedules.
Then-Gov. Gray Davis signed legislation in 2000 creating the state holiday honoring the late labor leader credited with improving work and quality- of-life conditions for immigrant farm workers in central California.
Chavez, an advocate of nonviolence, is remembered for spearheading a grape boycott in 1965 that went nationwide in 1968 and lasted until 1978, resulting in higher wages for farm workers and focusing national attention on their plight.
Born March 31, 1927, in Yuma, Ariz., Chavez dropped out of school after the eighth grade to help support his family by joining them in the fields as a migrant farm worker, witnessing the many adversities migrant workers faced daily.
Chavez joined the Latino civil rights Community Service Organization in 1952, urging Latinos to register to vote.
In 1962, Chavez joined Dolores Huerta in co-founding the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers.
Chavez and the UFW played an instrumental role in the passage of the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act in 1975, which made California the first state to give farm workers the right to seek union representation and bargain collectively within an established legal framework.
Chavez died in 1993 at age 66.
"Californians of every generation and background continue to be inspired by the leadership of Cesar Chavez," said Gov. Jerry Brown, who signed the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act into law.
"On this anniversary of his birth, I ask all Californians to join me in continuing to build on his dream of a world where all workers are treated with dignity and respect."
In 2011, President Barack Obama proclaimed March 31 of each year as Cesar Chavez Day nationally, although it is not a federal holiday.
In this year's proclamation, Obama called Chavez "one of America's greatest champions for social justice."
"The values Cesar Chavez lived by guide us still," Obama said. "Throughout his lifelong struggle, Cesar Chavez never forgot who he was fighting for.
"Today, let us honor Cesar Chavez and those who marched with him by meeting our obligations to one another. I encourage Americans to make this a national day of service and education by speaking out, organizing and participating in service projects to improve lives in their communities. Let us remember, that when we lift each other up, when we speak with one voice, we have the power to build a better world."

M. Ludwig (2011): Christmas: An Event Driven by our Hormones? Journal of Neuroendocrinology 23, Issue 12: 1191-1193.
No other event in the Christian calendar has such a deep impact on our behaviour as the annual event called Christmas. Christmas is not just 'Christmas Day'; indeed, it is a long developmental rhythm with a period of almost exactly 365 days. Here, I describe the neuronal and hormonal changes and their effects on our behaviour during the preparation and the execution of the event.

I am trying to solve the following problem. So far with no success.
Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane. Preprocess $S$ so that, given a (non-vertical) line $l$, one can determine whether there is any point of $S$ above $l$ in time $O(\log n)$. Few details: preprocess $S$ without knowing line $l$ in advance. Preprocessing doesn't have any special requirements.
According to big-$O$ requirement $O(\log n)$ the determination should be implemented similarly to binary search.
I have considered few options, $y$ - coordinate, slopes, but in any case it seems not relevant.
If you have any idea, I will appreciate sharing it with us.

Obama must waive renewable fuels standard now
President Obama needs to give EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson an ultimatum: Waive the requirement in the Renewable Fuels Standard established in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandating ethanol blending in motor fuels now, or hit the road Jack - son.
RFS, signed into law by George W. Bush and supported by then-Sen. Barack Obama, was a dud from the beginning because it was based on an assumption. (You know what they say about assumptions.) Congress was led to believe most of the ethanol would be derived from inedible substances rather than corn. Seven years in, and billions of research dollars later, nothing has changed - except the more we learn about ethanol, the less we like it. Corn-based ethanol drives up food prices locally and globally, reduces gas mileage performance and produces more greenhouse gas than petroleum.
Even green energy gazillionaire and former Vice President Al Gore admitted corn-based ethanol was a foolish endeavor. For him, it was all about votes. Speaking about his previous support of corn-based ethanol to a crowd at a conference in Greece, Gore said, "One of the reasons I made that mistake is that I paid particular attention to the farmers in my home state of Tennessee, and I had a certain fondness for the farmers in the state of Iowa because I was about to run for president."
At least Gore was honest about lying, which is more than can be said of the Obama administration, which has all the facts laid before them regarding ethanol yet obviously capitulated to lobbyists awhile back by upping the ethanol blend requirement from 10 to 15 percent. This change forces gas stations to purchase new pumps to process the E15 blend, and automakers are questioning the impact it will have on automobile engines. According to Consumer Reports, nine automakers voiced concerns to Congress stating they cannot honor warranties for older cars running on E15.
The recent drought should give all Americans, and especially those in elected leadership reason for pause to re-examine our priorities as a nation. Farmers and ranchers are forced to slaughter livestock prematurely because there is not enough corn feed to keep them alive. The ethanol mandate currently requires around 40 percent of corn crops be used for ethanol production leaving roughly 34 percent for livestock feed, 13 percent for exports, and humans get what's left. Might our priorities be a tad out of whack?
To be honest, Bush's "compassionate conservatism" got us into this mess with the act he signed into law, but I have to believe that same compassion would have most likely convinced him to relax the production requirements based on the reality of today's dire situation.
And then there is our sitting president, whose response to the drought crisis is another bailout. On the campaign trail in Iowa Aug. 13, President Obama committed to doling out more of his Obama "stash" by buying up millions of dollars in prematurely slaughtered meat. And the taxpayers responded with a hearty, "You're welcome."
So where's the beef? Apparently the government has meat lockers sitting idle because Obama told the crowd the government has "a lot of freezers." Even if they do, I'd think twice before eating anything the government supposedly kept on ice, based on the Obama administration's own guidelines for freezing meat. Foodsafety.gov, (another government creation from 2009), states frozen meat loses its quality (not safety) after four to 12 months. So who would we complain to if there were a problem with this meat? The government? It'll never happen.
The price of ethanol has risen 33 percent since May, not to mention exorbitant grocery prices and an upcoming corn and meat shortage. Rather than addressing consumer price pain, the administration responds with yet another bailout, which sends the message: "When the going gets tough, we make things worse."

If there's one thing that Star Wars is famous for, it's epic battles. Every one of the movies has featured one as a centerpiece, and many fans consider them to be some of the best parts of the movies. The battle for Hoth, for example, remains one of the most epic and exciting confrontations in sci-fi movie history.
Star Wars: Battlefront aims to capture this element of the Star Wars experience, and in a big way. At heart, it's a multiplayer shooter that isn't too dissimilar from the familiar Battlefield 1942 formula that has spawned so many imitators. You pick a side and a player class, then go into the action and shoot anything that gets in the way of fulfilling your team's objectives for a given map.
One thing that differs from other games in this subgenre, however, is that you have a lot more choices. Each one of the sides (we saw the Republic and Droid sides) features a large number of classes, including snipers, jetpack troopers, battle droids, and dark troopers. What's more, each one of these classes has abilities that no other class has, including those on the opposing team. That is, instead of having identical classes on each side like other shooters, Battlefront has unique classes for each faction. There's a lot of rock-paper-scissors gameplay so that one class can counter another, but that still adds up to a lot of choices and a lot of ways to play the game.
The other main difference between this game and others like it is the obvious one: It's set in the Star Wars universe. In fact, the single-player campaign (yes, there's a single-player campaign) features famous battles from the first five films, plus battles that will surely become well known once the sixth film comes out. In fact, fans who play Battlefront will be getting a sneak peek of some Episode III content before the film comes out next year.
It's also worth noting that the game also features what are called "third factions" that run around and wreak havoc on things if left unattended. The best example of this is the Ewoks on the "Moon of Endor" map, who throw rocks, set traps, and hijack speeder bikes. (I say these are the best examples because it means you can finally blast the annoying little fur balls into oblivion.)
Speaking of speeder bikes, fans will be pleased to know that Battlefront will be replete with over 30 vehicles, including flying ones like X-Wings and TIE Fighters. I asked if we could hope to command Star Destroyers from orbit, but apparently I was hoping for too much. Maybe in a patch?
Star Wars: Battlefront will be released on September 21 of this year, which not-so-coincidentally, is the same date that the original trilogy will be released on DVD.

|Margaret Hayes addressing the audience at Cipriani last night
(Click on photos for larger views)
-All photos Randy Brooke -
Cipriani 55 Wall Street was the setting for Fashion Group International's 29th Annual Night of Stars Award Gala (www.fgi.org ), which took place last evening. Each year, they have an overall title for the event, and this year, it was The Dream Catchers (in the words of FGI President Margaret Hayes, the "11 extraordinary talents being honored are spinners of imagination, the spirits of innovation, the weavers of the ideas that give shape and dimension to the dreams we dream.") The word "dreams" was woven into many of the speeches that followed, and as you can well imagine, Host Simon Doonan had quite a bit of fun with it (but more on that later).
|Linda Fargo fashion director of Bergdorf Goodman
Each year, it seems FGI 'ups' the star wattage (if that's possible), with an impressive list of star honorees, star presenters, and of course, star guests (a veritable who's who of fashion, film, entertainment, retail, media, philanthropy, architecture, etc.) But of course, there can only be one Superstar, and this year, that honor went to Carolina Herrera, who was given her award by loyal friend and client, the Academy Award winning actress, Renee Zellweger. The rest of the VIP roster went like this:
Waris Ahluwalia, Vanessa Traina, Haider Ackermann and Liya Kedebe
Haider Ackermann Presenter: Karl Lagerfeld
Derek Lam Presenter: Glenda Bailey
Gareth Pugh Presenter: John Demsey
ARCHITECTURE: Annabelle Selldorf Presenter: Sonja Rubin & Kip Chapelle
BEAUTY: James Gager Presenter: Kim Hastreiter
BRAND HERITAGE AWARD: The Maramotti Family for Max Mara Presenter: Tony Award winner and two-time Academy Award nominee Viola Davis
CORPORATE LEADERSHIP AWARD: Karen Katz for The Neiman Marcus Group
Presenter: Tory Burch
SUSTAINABILITY AWARD: Jon King for Tiffany & Co. Presenter: Rose Marie Bravo, CBE
HUMANITARIAN AWARD: Wynton Marsalis Presenter: Efraim Grinberg
LORD & TAYLOR FASHION ORACLE AWARD: L'Wren Scott Presenter: Emmy Award winner Sarah Jessica Parker
|Sarah Jessica Parker
Among the notable guests last night: Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos, Seth Meyers, Liya Kedebe, Prabal Gurung, Linda Fargo, Norma Kamali, Lola Schnabel, Patricia Lansing, Lauren Remmington Platt, Vanessa Traina, Estelle Lasher, Julie Macklowe, Bibhu Mohapatra, Christian Cota, Lisa Mayock, Miguel Antoinne, Misha Nonoo, Angel Sanchez, Alexi Ashe, Pat Wexler, Carin Brooks, Claude Morais, Brian Wolk, Nina Garcia, Maria Giulia Maramotti, Jedda Kahn.
|Carolina Herrera
True to form, Simon Doonan kicked things off in his own inimitable way. He recounted an over the top, fantastical tale centered around "an insanely trippey dream I had last night", during the course of which, he was able to weave in all the names of the night's honorees. He referred to it as "L'Wren Scott's Slumber party", though it sounded more like a nightmare, especially the part about not being able to reach L'Wren's doorknob (he is as you know, rather vertically challenged, and she is well over 6' 2" in bare feet).
|Rose Marie Bravo
Best moments that followed:
Glenda Bailey telling the crowd that Derek Lam "makes clothes that MAKE the woman". "He knows what women want; he could just as easily be a psychic". "His best accessory? His partner Jan (Schlottman)". For his part, Derek said that going to work each day is like "going home". He gave special thanks to FGI's Mary Lou Luther who he referred to as a "living treasure in this community" and he touchingly ended by saying "I'll work hard to earn this award".
John Demsey referred to Gareth Pugh's "unique dark aspects of beauty" and described his designs as "avante garde, rebellious, classy, edgy, beautiful". He also said he was "sporting an incredible pair of flared pants this evening". Gareth confessed, "speeches are not my strong point but thank you. It's a big honor for me to be here".
Karl Lagerfeld, who had literally arrived just moments before giving Haider Ackermann his award, admitted that Tilda Swinton was "the first choice" but could not be there because of a "family situation". He hailed him as "a great designer and great friend", and said he was happy to be there to give him the award the he really deserves. Haider said he was very touched to receive the award and thanked Karl. He quoted Yoko Ono who once said, "A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality", and he thanked Fashion Group for "letting me dream my dream".
Kim Hastreiter hailed James Gager as "a cultural anthropologist". "James is a storyteller who breathes life into his brand". He's a "natural editorial thinker". "Beauty is diverse and can come in many packages. I'm proud to give this Award to James, the ULTIMATE catcher of dreams". James said he was honored to be presented with this recognition and admitted he was "always dreaming" ("my dreams got me in a lot of trouble when growing up in Niagara Falls", he joked). "MAC makes dreams happen. I can be irreverent and push ideas of beauty forward, and hopefully, not only make women look and feel great, but put a smile on their faces". He ended by saying, "Dream more, learn more, care more, most importantly, BE more."
Tory Burch said that Neiman Marcus represents the essence of corporate leadership with their "rich history and heritage". "Few stores are as glamorous as Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus". "Even though it's over a century old, it's a trend setter and cutting edge". It's perfectly apropos, she said, that Karen Katz, Neiman's CEO's, was raised in Texas, "because Texas knows about bigger, better, and bolder". And even though NM is "big, bold, and creative, they manage to keep an amazing attention to detail".
Ms. Katz said that she shares her award with approximately "16,000 strong", "all of whom, share my passion and dedication". "I wish they could all be here to share this award". She proudly recounted a quote made by iconic Vogue editor Edna Woolman Smith, in 1957: "I dreamed all my life of the perfect store for women. Then I saw Neiman Marcus, and my dream came true."
Viola Davis, presenting the award to the Maramotti Family (Max Mara) admitted that she knew "very little about fashion". "But I DO know about myself, how to define my own beauty, and own it." "Fashion can't be worn; it has to be something that enhances what you are rather than hide it".
Nicola Maramotti said "we inherited values, passion for quality, and a constant search for excellence" ("these are family traits"). "We believe in quality from start to finish. We look forward to another 60 years of success in the business."
Sarah Jessica Parker sang the praises (and wisdom) of good friend L'Wren Scott. She said she "understands fashion" and has always been a "visionary". "She has a perfect eye for color and proportion", and then went on to note, "she makes a woman's derriere look better than anyone in the business". "She's a real girlfriend to me and other women, and a perfect choice for the Oracle Award. She then read a congratulatory letter from Mick Jagger (her longtime boyfriend), who could not be there because he's in Paris.She said she wanted to do it with a British accent but decided not to.
L'Wren (in a form fitting dress showing all her curves), made the astute observation that "men only understand fashion if it has a waistline" and then told Simon he could use her long hair to "climb up (like Rapunzel). that got a lot of laughs.
Winton Marsalis said, "the greatest thing we will ever encounter, is other people"
Renee hailed good friend Carolina Herrera as elegant, chic, immaculate beautiful and so much fun, and used the designer's signature word: DIVINE! The divine CH thanked Margaret Hayes and Fashion Group for their support
|Lookonline's Lieba Nesis and editor-in-chief Marilyn Kirschner
More quotes/observations recorded by our writer Lieba Nesis:
Norma Kamali, an icon in the fashion industry said, "I design Kamali culture an ecommerce collection. Its a more career type collection but of course swimsuits are still a big part of my collection. A big focus of my career is on wellness now because if you don't feel good when you take off the dress then what is the point? But designers should not be afraid to make mistakes I made plenty of mistakes and this is pivotal for the growing process."
Demitri Sholokhov, who recently won Project Runway, was very excited by this win but felt slightly overwhelmed and realizes "(he) needs business partners and investors, while Project Runway gave me great exposure this is only the beginning of my journey. A big inspiration for me is Alexander McQueen a great creative talent. But now that I have achieved a certain level of recognition I have to begin marketing it."
Kelly Ripa was there to honor Carolina Herrera who she said, "gives me stability even when I am wearing a strapless dress. Her clothing is classically elegant and I love everything about her."
Voila Davis, the actress, said she loves "people who are not afraid to take fashion risks who don't just follow the trends. Max Mara is my favorite designer the cut and the fit is just perfect everything about it is classic."
L'Wren Scott said she "loves Fashion Group International and was thrilled to be honored at this event."
Karl Lagerfeld, the king of fashion, waltzed in at nine with his trademark sunglasses and high collared shirt and even though he was silent he left the crowd speechless.
|L'Wren Scott
At the end, Simon joked, "I'm available to interpret anyone's dreams", and added "I accept all major credit cards." Before we were sent out into the night, each guest was handed an enormous black 'snakeskin' tote bag filled with goodies, among them a Nokia phone, custom designed by L'Wren Scott (her first such collaboration), a sampling of MAC cosmetics, a Lord & Taylor gift certificate, a Max Mara scarf, Carolina Herrera fragrance for men, and Godiva chocolates.
|Gareth Pugh
The lead sponsor for this year's event was Lord & Taylor. Participating sponsors: Arcade Marketing, Bebe, Givaudan, InStyle and Movado and the event was expertly handled, as always, by Diane Clehane, Madeline Communications (email@example.com).

An Important Statement about Judaism, Zionism and Freemasonry
The sections of the book that follow consider the actions and plans for the future of certain Jews under the influence of some superstitious traditions or of radical, atheist Zionist ideology. People affected by these superstitious views from time to time also infiltrate the Israeli deep state and are even sometimes able to assume a defining role in Israel's domestic and foreign policy. However, it will be useful to clarify certain issues in order to avoid various misunderstandings because of the information in this book.
The first matter needing to be clarified is that the information in the book does not involve all Jews. The great majority of Jews are unaware of the activities in question, what takes place behind them and their true objectives, and the great majority frequently state that they are opposed to such measures. Therefore, it is not Jewish society as a whole that is criticized in the chapters that follow.
The subject of criticism is superstitious traditions that seek to supposedly legitimize violence and ruthlessness by misinterpreting the Bible and a radical world view that regards other people as second class and considers it perfectly normal to inflict oppression and injustice on them on the basis of those traditions. In other words, it is radical, atheist Zionism, a social Darwinist and occupying ideology. Zionism emerged in the 19th century as an ideology that espoused a homeland for the Jews who were then without one. As time passed, however, Zionism underwent a process of degeneration, as happens with many ideologies, and that legitimate demand turned into a radical and irreligious conception that resorted to violence and terror in practice and formed alliances with extremist forces.
There are two varieties of Zionism today. The first of these is the Zionist conception of the devout Jewish people, who wish to live in peace and security in Israel alongside Muslims, seeking peace and wishing to worship in the lands of their forefathers and engage in business. Muslims are not opposed to Zionism in that sense. For devout Jews to live in peace and security in the lands holy to them, to remember Allah and worship in their synagogues, to occupy themselves with science and business, in short, to live and settle freely in those lands, is not something to alarm any Muslim. Indeed, it is a good thing that Muslims would rejoice at. Throughout the course of history it has always been Muslims who have enabled the Jews to survive the hardships and sufferings they have experienced, and who have sheltered and protected them.
The Zionist belief held by a devout Jew and, as described above, based on the Torah does not conflict with Islam. It is revealed in the Qur'an that Allah has settled the Children of Israel in that region:
Remember when Moses said to his people, "My people! Remember Allah's blessing to you when He appointed prophets among you and appointed kings for you, and gave you what He had not given to anyone else in all the worlds! My people! Enter the Holy Land which Allah has ordained for you. Do not turn back in your tracks and so become transformed into losers."
(Surat al-Ma'ida: 20-21)
Jews therefore have the right to live freely in these lands, but that right also applies to Muslims, and of course Christians, who have also lived in them for hundreds of years and believe in the sacred character of the region. These blessed lands are sufficiently broad, lovely and fertile for all faiths and communities to live together in peace. The right to life of one does not disqualify others from enjoying the same right.
To summarize, it is the "irreligious, Godless Zionism" that we condemn and regard as a threat to all mankind. These atheist Zionists, who do not defend the existence and oneness of Allah, but, on the contrary, encourage a Darwinist, materialist perspective and thus engage in irreligious propaganda, are also a threat to devout Jews and devout Christians. Atheistic Zionism is today engaged in a struggle against peace, security and moral virtue, and constantly produces strife and confusion and the shedding of blood. Muslims and devout Jews and Christians must join forces to oppose this Godless Zionism and encourage belief in Allah.
Relations between sincere and devout Jews and Muslims must exist within a framework of affection, respect and compassion. That is because this is the moral values and behavior that Allah reveals to Muslims in the Noble Qur'an and that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) shows us through his own life.
The People of the Book in the Qur'an
In the Qur'an, Allah presents Jews and Christians as the People of the Book, as well as explaining to Muslims in detail how their attitude towards them should be. The People of the Book are aware of the lawful and the forbidden, and base their moral practices on Divine inspiration from Allah. According to the morality preached in the Qur'an, and the practices of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), it is required that Muslims treat believing Jews and Christians with love, care, compassion, and respect. The call of Muslims to Jews and Christians is revealed thus in the Qur'an:
"We believe in what has been sent down to us and what was sent down to you. Our God and your God are One and we submit to Him." (Surat al-'Ankabut: 46)
This call makes it very clear what Muslims' point of view towards the People of the Book is: We live according to the moral principles professed in our holy books by respecting the limits set by Allah, by loving and respecting the messengers sent by our Lord, and by having faith in one Allah. Which is why we are beholden to treat each other with care, understanding, respect, and love.
We All Love and Respect the Same Prophets
Muslims have faith in all of the prophets which have been sent. They believe in the books sent to prophets in the past. This is explained in one verse of the Qur'an as follows:
Say, "We believe in Allah and what has been sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and what Moses and Jesus and all the prophets were given by their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. We are Muslims submitted to Him." (Surah Al 'Imran: 84)
The Prophets Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Aaron, David, Solomon, John, Jesus, and Moses (peace be upon them all) are as important to Muslims as they are to Jews and Christians.
The respect of Jews for the Prophet Moses (pbuh), who is also a Prophet of ours, and their close bonds with him over thousands of years are very important to sincere Muslims. The great love of Christians for the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and their heartfelt attachment to him is of similar importance to Muslims. Of course those who feel love and respect for the Prophets Jacob, Isaac, Ishmael, Abraham, Lot, Ayyub, Moses, Jesus and John (peace be upon them all) are people for whom naturally Muslims will feel love and affection, and approach with understanding and compassion. Anything opposing this is not possible.
Allah reveals the moral values of those of the People of the Book who genuinely believe as follows in the Qur'an:
They are not all the same. There is a community among the People of the Book who are upright. They recite Allah's signs throughout the night, and they prostrate. They believe in Allah and the Last Day, enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and compete in doing good. They are among the righteous. (Surah Al 'Imran: 113-114)
The duty of devout Muslims is to embrace people who live by such moral virtues with affection and compassion, and to show them love and understanding. To reiterate, therefore, the Muslim attitude toward the Jews is based on the moral values revealed in the Qur'an and implemented by our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). The revelation of the errors of irreligious, Godless Zionism or various superstitious traditions incompatible with the morality of true faith and the criticism of mistaken practices do not alter that fact.
Not All Masons Should Be Held Responsible for Atheistic Masonic Activities
In the same way that is a violation of good conscience to hold the entire Jewish people responsible for the actions of a few atheist Zionists, so the blame for the actions of atheist freemasons cannot be laid at the door of all masons. There are people within freemasonry who believe in the One Allah, who oppose the oppression implemented by and known to stem from senior masons in certain lodges, and who seek peace and good among all people. These people are trying to turn freemasonry from being an organization that stirs up disorder and acts against religious moral values to being one that strives to spread moral virtue. This work is exceedingly important and essential. And this situation should not be ignored as the negative activities of freemasonry are identified and criticized.
As one reads the pages that follow, it must not be forgotten that it is atheist freemasonry that is being criticized. All these criticisms are aimed at the atheist aspect of freemasonry, ideas opposed to religious moral values and the oppression that this aspect causes. And the aim behind this criticism, as well as to enable people to see where the danger really comes from, is to spur freemasons, who are unaware of this aspect or who wish to change it, into intellectual action. A readjustment from within freemasonry and a movement for change along the lines of religious moral values will be highly effective and beneficial. Atheist freemasonry has been carrying out sinister activities all over the world for hundreds of years and has striven to bring about the global dominion of irreligion. However, the century we are living in is one when the corruption in question from atheist freemasonry over the centuries will finally come to an end and be vanquished. In this century, when Allah illuminates the world with His light, and by His leave, and with help from devout masons who believe in Him, freemasonry will turn into an organization that seeks to serve the spread of religious moral values.

New FindsDecember 03, 2003
My top five new reads that I think everyone else should be reading too:
- random($foo) — frequently updated with links and commentary, always interesting. Tech and culture.
- paranoidfish — great commentary (if, sometimes, beyond my level) and great links. Tech.
- die puny humans — Uh, yet more frequent links and commentary. Culture. (Twisted, Good.)
- 1976 Design — Fellow WaSP Dunstan Orchard's quirky design weblog. Dunstan is a character, good times are guaranteed to all.
- DW: What's New — not technically a new find, but a great news source that probably doesn't get enough credit. Run by Nick Finck and other DW authors (myself included, occasionally, when I remember)
I'm relying on blo.gs these days. News aggregators just aren't my bag, baby. All I need is a list of who has updated recently, I have no need to take content outside of the original site's context. One day I'll look into publishing my complete list — it's well over a hundred by now.
I've noticed some people I read out of obligation; I try to keep updated on peripheral things like Atom and social software and the general tech business. Others I'm thrilled to see fresh content from, and relish reading every single time.
Who are your favourites? Who do you keep coming back to?
Reader Comments
And, uh, mentioning this site is just pandering, alright?
The killer app for blo.gs is using Phil Ringnalda's bookmarklet. Whenever I follow a long link trail and end up at a new blog I like, I just hit it and add it to my favorites (if they ping blo.gs – many don't unfortunately).
Good one, that should help. In adding it I realized I've got this blo.gs panel as well I keep forgetting about.
Consider this a public service announcement - everyone should ping blo.gs whether they use it or not. I have too many sites I've forgotten to read in ages because they haven't pinged in months.
I'm with you on aggregators… I used to be a Amphetadesk fan, but after a while, I got tired of having another application up and running just to see which blogs have updated.
I've been using blo.gs' sidebar in Firebird… it's my primary way of finding out who's updated their site. But I also use the "RSS Reader Panel" (http://fls.moo.jp/moz/rssreader.html ) extension for other RSS feeds… it's the best alternative to a bloated aggregator.
For the panel do you mean sidebars on a browser? That's another killer feature for mozilla and firebird (I wish safari did persistent sidepanels that could load HTML). Here's an old screenshot of when I used a weblogs.com filter, but it's the only way to fly through dozens of weblogs every day. I have a blo.gs button on my link bar that loads my personal list in firebird, which I hit every couple hours during the day:
Huh, wasn't aware of that RSS Reader panel. Good link, thanks Rich.
Yeah, sidebar panels just like blogtracker in your screenshot, Matt. I've been using a blo.gs shortcut in Firebird/Safari's persistent links, too.
I like Simon http://simon.incutio.com/ so much I made him my home page. Top notch blog.
Hrm, new favorites - well, I've just recently discovered Andy Budd (http://www.andybudd.com/blog/ ), Hicks Design (http://exp.hicksdesign.co.uk/ ), the Man in Blue (http://www.themaninblue.com/home/home/ ), and of course, 1976 Design which you've already mentioned. :)
As for reading, I'll sheepishly admit that I do rely on an aggregator (NetNewsWire Lite) but mainly just because I've noticed not everyone pings weblogs.com or blo.gs, and even when they do, the updates don't always show up on my list of links. I may, however, check out that sidebar setup for my computer at work. Seems like it would be more efficient than just randomly clicking links and hoping they're updated. ;)
My top weblog reads shift from time to time. High on my list at the moment seem to be:
Jon Hicks: http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/
Andy Budd: http://www.andybudd.com/blog/
Dunstan: http://www.1976design.com/blog/
Paul Srivens: http://www.9rules.com/whitespace/
Jeremy Hedley: http://www.antipixel.com/blog/
Of course there are long time favs like this site and:
D. Keith Robinson, does anybody else keep reading his name as Doctor Keith.. ? : http://www.7nights.com/asterisk/
Dan Cederholm, the man with that damn quiz: http://www.simplebits.com/
Anne van Kesteren, fellow dutchie and xHTML wizz: http://annevankesteren.nl/
Todd Dominey, Flash and xHTML from the top shelf : http://www.whatdoiknow.org/
My homepage is set on : http://web-graphics.com/blogroll/
Always nice to pop by and see who said what about your man doing this that and the other.
And when did weblogs become blo.gs? Was I out sick that day?
Simon: http://simon.incutio.com
Derek: http://www.twotallsocks.com
Jarrod: http://www.textbased.com/green/
The crew and guest poster at Signal Vs Noise.
Simple Bits - Love that Site!
Wow, I did not notice until Egor Kloos mentioned it that it was *not* Dr. Keith.
(in no particular order)
Simon Willison's Weblog
Ned Batchelder: Blog (http://www.nedbatchelder.com/blog/ )
Jesse Ruderman (http://www.squarefree.com/ )
Haven't tried http://blo.gs yet, but is it any better than bloglines.com? Bloglines holds my personal record for "shortest amount of time before a site becomes my home page". It was about 5 minutes.
I wasn't really hip on aggregators either, mainly because most of them don't sync between multiple machines and they are also just another app I need to be running, but bloglines.com is all web-based and it's fast as hell. Also, you don't have to worry about blogs pinging them or not because they go out and fetch new feeds every hour or so.
The interface is near perfect as well. It gives me everything I need and nothing I don't. And finally, the ability to share your bloglist out is nice as well. For example: http://www.bloglines.com/public/mdavidson . You can also grab other people's bloglists (or your own existing OPML file) and upload it right into your profile. Pretty slick.
Mark Pilgrim (who made me want to start a blog in the first place) & sideblog - 1 year: http://www.diveintomark.org
Asa Dotzler (Mozilla news from a real, live human being) - 6 months: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa
Ethan Marcotte (who makes me want to redesign my blog) & sideblog - 3 months: http://www.sidesh0w.com
Russ Posegate (brother in law, with good political commentary) - 1 month: http://www.posegate.org/russ
Dunstan Orchard (oh-so-slick weblog design) - 1 week (via Ethan): http://www.1976design.com/blog
Speaking of RSS aggregation and all that good stuff, I want to redesign my links page (which sucks tremendously). I'd like to have my links page automatically update when someone writes a new blog entry–kind of a custom news aggregator (like Gemal's Mozilla updates):
Anyone doing something like this?
Hey, thanks for reading to the people above who linked to me.
The list of blogs I read is available on my site as a blogroll - which itself is powered by blo.gs. I'm with Dave - I don't really get the whole aggregator thing as blo.gs tells me when people update and from there I'm a middle-click away from reading their latest musings in a tab. Right now I have over a dozen blogs open in tabs and normally it's even more. Firebird + blo.gs = blog reading nirvana :)
Dave, if you're in to blo.gs I seriously recommend trying out their automated export feature. In fact, I think I'll write up an entry on how it all works now since I get email about it quite a bit.
My entry is turning in to an essay and could be some time in the making, but in the mean time you can always use Phil Ringnalda's blogroll code to export from blo.gs automagically: http://philringnalda.com/phpblogroll/
Re: the blo.gs to blogroll on your site feature that Simon mentions above… I do this on my site also using the MT-RSS plugin. Your personal blo.gs list is available in RSS format, so what I do is fetch that RSS using MT-RSS (created a cron job to fetch it every 15 mins), then with server-side includes, I can get it on my pages without rebuilding.
Since Simon isn't using MT, I'm interested to see how he does it. I'm sure it's more elegant.
The nice thing about blo.gs' RSS list is it's sorted by last update dt/time.
Well glad to see at least two people read my site :)
Right now I would have to say my personal fav and a man who seems to be on a roll with his content is D.K. Robinson (not Dr.).
I use Simon as my homepage because his blogroll is huge!!!
I'm surprised no one's mentioned Paul Ford's excellent site, http://www.ftrain.com/ . Very nice stuff.
I also enjoy Belle de Jour - http://belledejour-uk.blogspot.com/ - Diary of a London Callgirl.
Ahhh, ftrain, excellent pick. Some of the best content around.
The first thing I do every morning is load up Firebird and CTRL-T, CTRL-L, and type blog URL until I have a dozen tabs. Hehe.
I am lazy to bookmark sites, and it is a good thing I remember the URL. Bah, I do not really have to. A nice thing is that the blogs I read tend to link to other blogs that I also read. Being at school most of the time means no bookmarks anyway.
I would like to add http://superfluousbanter.org/ since nobody else has mentioned it yet.
i think these are under-appreciated:
Open Codex: http://reagle.org/joseph/blog/ (tech, culture, media, standards, community)
miromi: http://miromi.org/mt/blog/ (art and fantastic writing)
the blog of death: http://www.blogofdeath.com/ (fun if you have morbid tastes)
also, why should i have to ping blo.gs when i'm already pinging weblogs.com? do i have to add a ping for every new aggregator service that comes out? why can't they implement some kind of sharing. eg, if i ping weblogs.com, it should automatically ping blo.gs and any others that it knows about for me. then they can maintain the list of sites that want to be pinged instead of me.
For those looking to host their own blogrolls like several have mentioned so far, WordPress can parse the weblogs.com XML updated data at set intervals and update your link list accordingly. It's what I use for my portal. It can actually parse any XML similar to weblogs.com and I heard a neat suggestion to have a cron job generate an XML file of site files and when they were last updated, and then adjust a site navigation menu to reflect recently updated files. (Make them emphasised I believe.) It's crazy the stuff people come up with. I haven't tried the sidebar route yet, I'll have to give that a go. Not a fan of any aggregator I've seen so far.
Toughie, I read so many, but I guess I most look forward to seeing new entries from these folk:
Andy Budd, Dunstan Orchard, Stopdesign, Daring Fireball, Whitespace (You all know the URLs…)
I do use an aggregator. NetNewsWire shows the number of updated blogs in its dock icon, and clicking that shows the blogs and just their headlines. I go straight from that to the blog, and never use the main window. I like the convenience of it automatically refreshing, but prefer to read the entry within the context of the sites design.
I have quite a bookmarklist full of blogs, most of them are allready mentioned above. But what about CSSZengarden!? I just keep coming back, hoping to find some new inspiration. Ok, so it's not a blog, it's inspiring! Where are those new entries!? Is The Garden Dead?
Do not let us down here Dave… ;-)
Anyway, a few other great blogs: http://www.hivelogic.com , Design Meme (http://www.uoguelph.ca/~stuartr/) , http://www.sideshow.com/ , http://www.whitespace.com/ , http://www.alazanto.com/ , http://www.textism.com/ and have you ever read the words of http://www.amishrobot.com/ that guy is hilarious!
Now link to some new Garden Entries please…
ps: you guys made me a XHTML/CSS fanatic, my boss will hate you!
"ps: you guys made me a XHTML/CSS fanatic, my boss will hate you!"
Or he'll soon learn to love you from seeing how you improve the efficiency of websites by up to 250% ! ;)
Since you already did the techy links, here's three funny sites I love to read:
(see #85094 for example)
And thanks to those people who accidently pasted my blog url into their comments here; no doubt after they hit 'Post' they said "Well damn it, that was meant to be http://www.clagnut.com - my Ctrl-C thing isn't working properly!"
Still, lucky me :o)
You need to be reading Foo daily (http://www.forgetfoo.com) and (http://www.gotfoo.com).
Mine's not bad for a laugh every now and again (http://www.houserdesign.com)
To everyone who linked to sidesh0w, thanks so much — I really appreciate it.
I've a lot of overlap with the links posted above, but here are a few more:
Maciej and Gina are two of my favorite writers, online or no; I'd recommend them to anyone interested in some great, great reading.
Check out Jacques Distler's blog - Musings: Thoughts on Science, Computing, and Life on Earth:
Not only is it a superb example of XHTML (served properly), but also MathML, and a clean, nice layout. Many postings cover mathematics, but he also knows his technolgies, including some vulnerabilities in MoveableType (i.e. the default comments form):
I enjoyed reading his (and others) comments in Anne van Kesteren's weblog entry "Just add that 14 bytes of accessibility":
It sems like most web design-related items either link to or from these sites, great stuff.
Oh, right…auto-link, sorry.
Many I read have already been mentioned. As a Mac user I usually try to catch these:
Wow. Not many of these aren't already on my links list, immediately to the right.
And the ones that aren't I generally have on my blo.gs list already anyway ;)
Though I probably need to start reading Idle Words and xlab.
I have 1 really big problem, the more blogs (or any site for that matter) I go to, the less work I get done. So my list had to be recently truncated. Bummer!
I signed up for bloglines and it's good when I have to play catch-up, but I can't get into using it on a regular basis. I like seeing people's layouts as well as reading their content.
I really can't put a finger on what keeps me coming back. The sites I link to are the ones where I actually get a sense of the person. I'm a tech-wanna-be so I visit a lot of sites where sometimes the content is beyond me, but the writing is such that the topics covered are appealing. And, every once in a while, info gets through and I learn something. Gotta love that. :D
It's funny you should ask about what our favorites are when you mention just discovering diepunyhumans. That's been my favorite for a long time. I'm a fan of Warren Ellis' writing, so I've been following his "research dump" since the days following his forums on Delphi.
also, why should i have to ping blo.gs when i�m already pinging weblogs.com? do i have to add a ping for every new aggregator service that comes out? why can�t they implement some kind of sharing. eg, if i ping weblogs.com, it should automatically ping blo.gs and any others that it knows about for me. then they can maintain the list of sites that want to be pinged instead of me.
blo.gs already does that :) It syndicates from weblogs.com once an hour. It's a good idea to ping blo.gs as well though for a couple of reasons: firstly, it means blo.gs knows about your update straight away rather than waiting until it hears about it from weblogs.com and secondly, weblogs.com can be pretty flaky sometimes to pinging blo.gs directly is often more reliable.

I have the same thing. I can't let myself read a lot of blogs because I'd just not get any work done that way, not enough anyway. And since I do all my XHTML/CSS learning somewhat in my spare time and somewhat while at work (which is not a big problem as long as it's kept to a reasonable amount of time spent on it all, I work as a webdeveloper so it's good for me to keep up with this all ^_^) I limit myself to the in my opinion most useful ones:
- Tantek
- Meyerweb
- Mezzoblue
- Stopdesign
- SimpleBits
- Zeldman
- ALA (which I see as a collective big blog of nothing but pure content)
And if for some reason everyone here does not yet know all of the ones I just mentioned: they're all (name).com, except for ALA: alistapart.com :)
I use my blogrolls, no news aggregators for me.
My techy reads are on http://www.webdiva.co.uk and my non-tech reads are at http://www.webdiva.co.uk/blog/. There are a few websites that made both lists.
What makes me keep coming back to them? mainly content, writing style, and approachability.
"Consider this a public service announcement - everyone should ping blo.gs whether they use it or not. I have too many sites I�ve forgotten to read in ages because they haven�t pinged in months."
Seems as though you don't ping it yourself, Dave… …only the Dailies show up on a blo.gs search. Unless I'm doing something wrong. ;)
It's one or the other, whichever is most recently updated. blo.gs won't list them separately, so my listing shows up as either 'mezzoblue' or 'mezzoblue dailies'

Our Hooks
Anyway, there's not enough room for full-blown storage in our laundry room. So we settled on hooks. I love my hooks. During the school year, they look like this:
Please excuse the terrible photos. The room gets no natural light.
And over the summer, they look like this:
Last summer I never knew what to do with the all the wet towels and swimsuits – now I do! Madeline and Colby have dive team four mornings a week and they know that their wet towel, swimsuit and goggles go on their hook, not on the bathroom floor! Then as we're running to Grandma's house to swim, they know exactly where to find their things.
Maybe one day, I'll actually finish the room by filling the frames….one day.
Thanks for reading!

Your house is GORGEOUS! We moved from our brand new house in Utah to a house built in the 80's in Portland, the house is great, minus the kitchen, blue tile island, NASTY is all I have to say. It's special...ReplyDelete
I have the same "layout" in my laundry room too! I painted mine a bright, pretty orange (cantelope really!) and it has helped take my mind off the fact that it's too small! Good luck!ReplyDelete
Jake is graduating BYU in about a month and I am SO excited not to have his backpack by the front door anymore! (And excited that we'll finally be done with school:))ReplyDelete

Cute....how bout some of your vacation pics in the frames....since the swimsuits and towels hang there now. Then during the school year, when the back packs are hanging.....you can have their school art, or school photo in the frames :)ReplyDelete
I have the same problem at my house- too much where I don't need it and not enough where I do! Love the hooks. I am trying to get hubby to help me get our laundry room painted, etc so I can put the same kinda system to work for us. I never thought of hanging bathing suits and towels there too. You are brilliant!ReplyDelete
I think AZ builders did way too many of these hallway/laundry room from the garage.... Its ridiculous! Anyone with a four bedroom needs MORE of a laundry room! I have even thought of having the hubby move it to the garage.... We do have an alcove in the garage which has more room... :( Then I could have a large pantry where the washer and dryer once were... But I don't know. Our garage is insulated so its not as hot/cold as most of them here in AZ. I love the hooks!ReplyDelete

For the purpose of support of my new project WorldMap.Name the referral program has been created. To participate in this referral program to you it is necessary to get one advertizing block on WorldMap.Name by means of the form which is in a page bottom.
Cost of purchase of one advertizing block makes $15 per month. All calculations are conducted by means of electronic money system Perfect Money. If you have no account in this system, you can register it here: registration in Perfect Money.
The referral program looks like the forced 10-level matrix with three referrals at the first level and randomizer. The forced matrix is such type referral systems at which at each level there can be only the fixed amount of referrals. At this referral system at the first level you can have only 3 referrals, at the second level - only 9 (each of your three referrals of the first level can have too on 3 referrals), on the third - 27 and so on up to the tenth level on which you can have 59 thousand 49 referrals.
You will receive for engaging of each referral (up to the tenth level) on $1. The scheme of activity such: the first your three referrals become referrals of the first level, further the following your referral already becomes a referral of the second level or a referral of your referral of the first level. And you and your referral of the first level will receive for it on $1. Your referrals also can attract referrals. And you and your referral also will receive for it on $1. That is we see that yours Upline (your referrer, that who has attracted you in this system; referrers of your referrer) and yours Downline (your referrals) work on you, help you to receive new referrals and accordingly on $1 for everyone. Having registered under the active participant you can get quite good profit even if will not attract any referral.
Randomizer works so: after any payment for involvement in randomizer the part of money goes to one or several randomly selected users who already participate in randomizer. In our referral program at purchase of the advertizing block payments in the size of $1 either to one, or two, or three, or four, or five randomly selected users who already participate in our referral program are produced. The amount of payments is selected also randomly. That is at all without having any referral you can get profit because of random payments.
After purchase of the advertizing block you receive unique referral link. As the identifier payment batch-number serves. You can buy some advertizing units, using the referral links and paying from one Perfect Money account, but at each new purchase you will receive new referral link. All these referral links will work, you will select what of them to use.
From this referral program you will instantly not receive payment after purchase payment. It of that the database of participants of this program is in offline. It that couldn't be stolen it. Payments will be is produced automatically some times a day.
Lack of all forced matrixes and randomizers is that at them restricted period of life. That is you can not have time to get profit till that time while it will be closed. My referral program will work much longer any forced matrixes and randomizers which were till this time. I already work over monitoring since 2004 and I am not going to stop it to do. This referral program doesn't demand additional material inputs, therefore will work too very long together with monitoring. Anyway the one who will start to take part in any similar program gets more profit earlier. In other similar programs in due course come to an end wishing to participate in the given program. And last participants appear at a loss. But in our case it is possible on to take part in the referral program some times. Also, for example, in a year, then in two or three years can will appear new wishing to take part in this referral program. In other similar programs what is the time nobody waits.
