She was in a clearing, the surrounding trees creating pools of light from the moon by their intersecting branches. They were quite bright, and she lifted her head to stare unblinkingly at the full moon. Something about it made her shiver, an action justified by the eerie sound of a howl coming from not far away. It was a wild sound, as if it had been ripped from the throat of something completely inhuman—and so it was. A cold rush of fear stabbed through her as she turned around to face the werewolf silhouetted against the night sky, its muzzle raised in another tribute to the moon. It had not seen her.
As the beast turned and started for a break in the trees, she felt compelled to follow it. Her fear turned to dread as she caught the scent of a wood fire; the thing in front of her seemed to be spurred on by this, and it began to lope away in the direction of the odor. She ran to keep up, the need to stay close to it spurring her onward until suddenly, she was in the open again, standing in the yard of a small cottage. The werewolf was nowhere to be seen.
Her heart beat a desperate rhythm in her chest as she crept around the perimeter, searching desperately for something. Whether she needed to seek the residents of this house or the beast that hunted them, she was not sure—she only knew that it was nearly too late. Too late it was, for as she stole around to the back, she saw something that chilled her blood and nearly made her heart stop.
A small boy, no older than six or seven, was standing frozen in terror, staring at the werewolf. She kept screaming at him to run, but she made no noise. She tried to throw herself in front of him, but was rooted to the spot. As she wailed soundlessly, the horrible thing howled in triumph and leapt at the child
Nymphadora Tonks woke with her pillow clutched to her face, tears forming a puddle around her head, her body drenched with sweat. It had seemed so real. She sat up slowly, struggling to regain a normal heart rate and wiping the wetness from her cheeks. Disjointed images from her nightmare kept floating before her eyes—the image of the werewolf against the moonlit sky, the tawny-haired boy cowering in fear before it struck
Feeling slightly cold, Tonks rose and reached for the fluffy bathrobe she kept on the chair by the window. She was glad for the warmth, even on this muggy summer night, as she glanced involuntarily out the window and saw the almost-full moon. For the first time, she looked at it as he probably did—with an odd mixture of fear and fascination.
A noise pierced the nighttime quiet, and Tonks clutched at the windowsill for support—the suddenness of the sound had brought a rush of adrenaline as the events of her nightmare came crashing back to her in sharp focus. She closed her eyes, trying to shut out the images, but this just replayed them in a sort of slideshow against her eyelids. The forest, the moon, the silhouette of the werewolf she opened her eyes quickly. The image in front of her had so much in common with the one she had just seen in her dream that the cruelty of it brought a lump to her throat.
It was Lupin. He stood in the small yard, his shabby bathrobe and bare feet giving credence to her suspicion that this was an unplanned outing on his part. He was looking up at the moon, his scarred features outlined in moonlight. Whether it was luck or heartless fate, she could see his face, and her sleep-muddled mind overlaid his profile with the one from her dream for a painful second. She shook her head forcefully, dispelling the image from her mind and telling herself firmly that no matter what he said, no matter what the evidence showed about werewolves in general, this one in particular was different.
He just stood there, as still as a statue, and stared at the moon. Her heart ached to know him so well—this was no man to rant and shake his fist at fate. No, he would simply observe it with a reproachful calm—but even as she thought this, his actions proved her conclusions false. He lifted his head, and the soft moonlight illuminated the streaks of tears on his face.
It was too much for Tonks. Any other night she might have raced downstairs and thrown herself into the yard to comfort him (whether he wanted it or not), but not tonight. Tonight, her personal bravery was outweighed by general sadness, and she wept for Sirius, for Dumbledore, and most of all, for her heart and his.
It was the dream again. Remus Lupin woke up with the familiar yet chilling taste of copper on his tongue, and for one terrifying moment he wondered if hed done something He hadnt, of course, but the fear of it, the fear of losing control—it was ever-present. He sat up, feeling a dull ache in his right hand as he did so, and upon inspecting it, discovered that he was bleeding. I must have stuffed my fist into my mouth to stop from screaming, he thought with a shudder.
This pleasant thought made him get up and reach for his robe; he didnt want to create a bloody mess for anyone to clean up. Lupin crossed the hall to the bathroom, pausing at her door when he thought he heard movement within. She hadnt been sleeping well, he knew, but without Sirius or Dumbledore to talk to her about it This reflection made him move away where his self-control had not. He studiously ignored the nagging idea that shed listen to him if he asked her to take better care of herself, answering the thought with the painful one he kept around for just such an occasion. She is not for me. It hurt, always did hurt, no matter how many times hed said it to himself.
Somehow he knew that with the way his thoughts had turned, and the awful nightmare hed just had, sleep would not come easy. His heart was just too full with the events of the past weeks—the past years. Knowing that Fenrir Greyback was still out there, preying on innocents like Bill- His breath hitched in his chest at the name, his sorrow for what the younger man had suffered mixing with his pain and the damned lingering hope that had hovered around him during the conversation in the infirmary. Hed almost lost his resolve.
A creaking sound disrupted his reverie, and he saw with a start that he was in the process of opening the back door. Lupin looked at his bare feet for a long moment, finally deciding that it wasnt worth the possibility of waking the house just to get his slippers. Somewhere in the back of his mind he knew he was far too weak-willed for their usual conversation, should he manage to wake Tonks with the sound of his prowling through the hallway.
The grass felt wonderful on his bare feet, the dew cold but cathartic. He hadnt gone barefoot since he was a little boy, he realized. Inevitably, that thought brought others with it, ones far less innocent than the memory of being an innocent child. The knowledge that no matter what he thought about tonight, his mind would connect it to his lycanthropy, and that one by one hed lost everyone who had bothered to look beyond it brought him to the brink of despair. The further thought, not everyone, tipped the scale, and Remus Lupin cried, truly cried, for the first time since the night hed been bitten.
A movement on the grass woke Tonks from her bout of misery. Not bothering to wipe her cheeks of the tears that still fell, she looked outside to see that Lupin had fallen to his knees, his hands to his face, actually sobbing. Self-control be damned, she thought to herself as she dashed through the house to the back door. Once there, she allowed herself a long moment of decision. She knew that if he rejected her this time, the one time shed ever seen his emotions master him instead of the other way around, hed break her heart for good.
For once in her life, Nymphadora Tonks felt her courage fail her. Given the choice of resolution one way or the other versus the pain of loving coupled with the hope she always carried, she found with surprise that shed rather have the latter. The realization shook her, and she shut her eyes before her mind could construct the word Coward and display it for her. She lifted her hands to cover her face, partly to catch the tears that still fell, and partly to block out the sight of the man she loved caught up in the same desperate weeping.
Is it always like this? Excruciatingly painful but cleansing?
He asked this in the back of his mind, his penchant for observation seeming to be irrepressible even when he was crying like all hope was lost. Hed felt like this before, but not allowed himself the luxury of these wracking sobs. James and Lily For a bittersweet moment, he imagined them there with him, both of them comforting him as they had done when they were alive. They had not cared about what he was, they had loved him unconditionally—theyd helped to share the burden.
The clarity of his sudden realization, grounded as it was in the truth of past events it took his breath away and nearly knocked him flat. He could hear her voice clearly, repeated over and over with that truthful simplicity of hers. I dont care that youre a werewolf! I love you anyway! I want to help
He was a fool.
James wouldnt have backed away, no matter how many times Remus shouted that he was dangerous. Sirius would have laughed in his face if hed told him to go away—and he had, many times. Lily had taken the news with unwavering loyalty, never once even changing her facial expression from the gentle smile as she told him it didnt matter to her. Even Peter
Lupins tears redoubled at this thought. His mind reconstructed every argument hed ever had on this subject with Tonks, lovingly recreating the earnest expression on her face and the precise moments when it turned to heartbreak. His refusal of her might just as well had been him telling her he trusted Peter Pettigrew more than she, for hed never have turned away his one-time friends help, before the man had become a betrayer. He finally allowed the question that hovered always on the brink of being asked—would she had let herself suffer so much punishment, so many denials, if she didnt truly love him? The more pertinent question—would he, if their roles were reversed, take no for an answer?
Hed be damned if he would.
And so, apparently, would she.
His sobs subsiding now, Lupin wiped his face on his bathrobe and tried not to care that he was sitting in his skivvies in the back yard. His hand trembled as he brushed his hair back from his forehead—he was scared, he was excited, he was
A muffled sound caught his attention and he looked up to see the faintest outline of someone in the kitchen. His heart pounded as he realized who it was, and he sat there for a long few minutes, waiting, until he felt a pain in his chest. Hed been holding his breath. His brow furrowed as he realized what was wrong.
She hadnt come out to him.
She always took any chance she could, particularly if they were alone.
Was it too late?
Lupin leapt to his feet and headed for the house, a look of fierce determination on his face. As he strode through the kitchen, his foot brushed something soft and wet—a crumpled tissue. Shed been crying. He hoped it wasnt his fault.
Tonks made it to her room just in time. She threw herself on her bed and wept into her pillow, furious with herself for her stubbornness and cowardice. Her imagination went into overdrive as she gave way to choked sobs, presenting her with a slideshow of images. Lupin shaking his head, Lupin saying no to her one of many times, Lupin walking away and not looking back. It was all she could do to stop herself from wailing, and in fact, she was, repeating the same words over and over.
I couldnt do it, I couldnt do it, I—
She was so caught up in her own misery that the sound of the door opening hadnt registered at all. She continued her keening sobs even as the object of her affection lifted her, unresisting, into his arms. It was only when he gently stroked her hair and spoke to her in the voice shed dreamt of for years that she became aware of his presence.
Dont cry, dear, dont—Im here, shhhhh, Im finally here. His voice broke on the word finally, and she knew it wasnt a dream. He never cried in her dreams.
Remus? she asked, her hoarse voice barely above a whisper.
Yes, Sweet? he said softly in her ear.
Dont ever let go. She clung to him, burying her face in his shoulder, as he stroked her hair comfortingly.
I cant promise that, he said, and she froze, her entire body becoming tense in his arms. He shocked her by swearing lightly under his breath, the hand on her hair coming around to cup her face, forcing her to look at him.
I didnt mean it like that, he said, voice breaking again, and now it was her hand that stroked his hair in comfort. I dont want to make a promise I might not be able to keep. I— he broke off, and she kissed the tracks of his tears almost reverently. Tonks copied his gesture and gently touched his face, almost shyly.
I love you, she said, looking into his eyes. It is enough. He looked back at her, steadily, his expression barely changing but for a single tear that escaped to course down his face, its path chosen by the scars he bore. She watched, mesmerized, until he spoke.
I love you, too, he said, and though her heart leapt with joy, she fiercely mastered her emotions; this was no time to be bubbly and enthusiastic, he needed her to be calm, she should be—
What? she said warily, for his expression had turned from gentle sobriety to bemused.
Your hair, he said, and he kissed her. The tender pressure of his lips mixed with the salt of both of their tears seemed to melt away all of the hurt, the purifying heat coursing through her until she could feel his touch to the very tips of her toes. Remus felt the strength in her giving him strength, and wondered, as he finally let himself kiss her, how hed ever been able to do without her. When finally the kiss ended, she felt her scalp tingle and realized what hed meant.
She looked across the room to the mirror, dimly lit by the moonlight from the open window. It reflected the image of herself and Remus, bodies entwined in a way she would have thought impossible but a day before. His cheek was resting on her hair, but instead of the dull brown shade shed resigned herself to, her head was crowned by a familiar shade of pink.

Jungle Book: Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to the Rescue takes a bit of the familiar Kipling story as seen in Disney's classic, while inserting Rikki as a main "narrator" character. The story is told somewhat in flashback by Rikki, who introduces himself as a snake-mangling mongoose. The story begins with Mowgli, as a baby, deserted in the jungle. However, the danger of the fierce tiger Shere Khan has a hankering for a man-cub luncheon. Thanks to the apes and Bagheera the Panther, Khan is pushed into the mud to allow Mowgli's escape. He and Baloo the Bear now must figure out what to do with this baby in a basket. After years of being raised by the wolves, the pack decides it's time for him to leave when the threat of Shere Khan becomes too much. After yet another narrow escape from Khan, Mowgli finds himself amidst human natives who ironically look at him as a savage. A young girl of the tribe befriends Mowgli and he soon learns how to live with people. Khan returns yet again as a threat to both the animals and humans. Both sides must work together to get rid of the tiger for good.
Animation on Jungle Book is actually quite good, even if not "great" by Pixar/DreamWorks standards. Every scene is full of vivid colors and swift "camera" movement. Character designs are pleasant, except for Mowgli. Compared to the more stylized animals, his face simply takes on a wax figure look akin to characters in The Polar Express except with more primitive graphics. One problem with the narrative, though, is the constant interruption of the story by asides by Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. It's either him making karate moves in the air, pointing out an absurdly obvious Star Trek reference, or pointing out how important he is to the story. The voices are surprisingly appropriate, even if it's not Phil Harris and George Sanders in the cast. Had this not the distractions and better animation on Mowgli, this would be the best of BKN's efforts so far.
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves: The Lost Scimitar of Arabia follows Prince Ali's quest to find the Sultan - his father. After horseback riding in England with his beloved Morgana, an attempt is made on his life, after a cascade of rocks fall from a tower. Meanwhile, the Sultan becomes aware of his brother Kasheem's plans to usurp his kingdom. General Jamal leads these ruffians in devotion to him. Back in England, Ali retells the story of his father. During a horrible draught, a mysterious old man, Sage Feisal, hands him a magical staff to lead his people by. His brother soon becomes jealous of the powers of oasis-creation amidst the arid desert. This explains the bitter rivalry. Kasheem goes on to invade the Sultan's palace to steal the object of magic, effective becoming the Sultan himself. Ali, haunted by dreams of the horrors across the globe, must travel back to his kingdom to find his father. He sets sail for Arabia, only for his stable boy to stow away in a lifeboat. Kasheem, alerted of his voyage, becomes enraged and calls for Ali's blood. An assassin makes an attempt on Ali's life while on the ship, only to be tossed into the water seemingly to drawn. This leads to a charming musical segway with the shipmates. Back in Arabia, Kasheem is horrified to find that the royal treasure has been completely depleted due to the Sutan's generosity to the poor. He proceeds to raise taxes three-fold - and dissenters are to be executed on-sight. Ali finds that he is the only one who can save the kingdom - with the aid of the fabled Lost Scimitar of Arabia. Facing battle with the dreaded Kasheem and his cohorts, the odds stack up. Will Prince Ali be able to save his father and his kingdom, as well as get rid of the evil Kasheem?
After getting used to the CGI style from BKN, this traditionally animated effort may not be the most exciting, but it works as a low-key adventure. The animation takes on a comic book look, much like the 1990s Marvel television shows. Backgrounds appear to be lush watercolors with muted details. There are some good effects here and there, such as using rack focus (different planes of focus in a shot) and good use of widescreen framing. The low budget animation only occasional shows, with background crowds seemingly made up of only 5-6 frames held on a loop. Prince Ali could probably been a bit better designed, considering he's drawn a bit too effeminate. The voice actors are generally good, even if a few characters sound silly such as the magic old man in the flashback. While nearly all characters have appropriate accents, the occasional comic relief character pops in with an exaggerated Brooklyn accent.
Alice in Wonderland: What's the Matter with Hatter? is based more on Disney's 1951 feature than directly Lewis Caroll's book. While bored by a stream, she notices her pet dog Jabberwock run off into the woods. While attempting to retrieve him, a white rabbit speeds off into a cave in a hurry. Jabberwock follows, as does Alice - leading her to fall down a deep chasm and into Wonderland. After greeted by the constantly metamorphosing Cheshire Cat, she lands inside a room lined with doors on the wall. A talking doorknob helps her figure a way out, using an enlarging and shrinking magic mirror. Unfortunately, Alice grows too bad and proceeds to flood the room with her tears. The pressure of the water eventually makes the doors give way. She floats upward and meets the Mad Hatter on his jungle gondola. He takes her, with strap-on wings to fly in the clouds and meet King Cloudy. They proceed to have a tea party in the sky. Unfortunately, Alice loses her footing and falls into the Queen of Hearts' private croquet game. By landing on two of her royal guards/croquet hoops, an otherwise flawless move becomes a dud. She loses her temper and calls for Alice's head to roll - but not before a trial.
As another of the CGI installments, Alice benefits from a bit more creative storytelling and tighter pacing. With many scenes sharing similarities with Disney's 1951 feature, such as the croquet match and the doorknob, the new scenes not found in Carroll's book are quite interesting. The flight into the clouds is entertaining for the most part. Many characters are "played" by animals, such as a pair of Bullwinkle-esque mooses as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. However, this suffers from more gags wearing out their welcome. For example, King Cloudy jokes that "he doesn't always have his head up in the clouds." Then he repeats it inquisitively. Followed by the Mad Hatter reiterating. Animation appears a bit creepy on the few human characters - Alice and the Mad Hatter. Mask-like faces and stiff movements. The Cheshire Cat has a grotesque grin that makes Mr. Sardonicus appear normal. Voice acting tends to be either appropriate or unobtrusive except for the Cat, always trying to sound as "hip" as possible.
The Visuals:
Jungle Book: Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to the Rescue and Alice in Wonderland: What's the Matter with Hatter? are presented in standard 1.33:1, but Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves: The Lost Scimitar of Arabia is in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen. Both are interlaced. Oddly enough, the two CGI-animated features were produced in high-definition and are presented cropped on this disc. Detail and sharpness is irrelevant for the surprisingly undetailed animation. However, Ali Baba looks quite good with its hand-drawn appearance. Because of the lack of progressive encoding, though, it tends to have more obvious "jaggies" on lines. A few shots in high motion during the Alice feature look sort of out of focus as if a blur filter was applied by mistake.
The Sound:
All three features have regular Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo surround tracks. Dialogue tends to be static and "centered" with the music and occasional sound effects having more separation. Ali Baba has a more expansive audio mix, with more directional sound effects and occasional directional dialogue. Otherwise, expect dialogue to remain as if monaural and only music to appear stereo.
Nothing, besides an option to play all and an optional Spanish dub track.
BKN's animated movies are a mixed bag, but this compilation features the more engaging installments. Sure, it's not top-tier work, but it should keep children entertained. The only word of warning is the lack of original widescreen on the two CGI animated movies, which should not be an issue anymore!

The Latics travel to Stoke City this evening for what can only be described as a tough fixture.
Despite the present poor run of form, Roberto Martinez believes it is nly small margins that are holding the Latics back.
Speaking to the Wigan Evening Post, he said: "I don't think we are playing too differently now to the way we did at the end of last season.
"Probably we are now just a little bit exposed and conceding goals too easily. The margins in which we need to improve are not massive, but now is the time to be doing it."
Martinez was also full of praise for the achievements of Stoke City who have performed well in the Premier League over recent years.
"What Stoke have done over the years - both on and off the pitch - has been incredible," he recognised.
"Tony Pulis has strengthened the squad year on year, taken the club into the Europa League, and also they have built a new training ground.
"Stoke, along with Wigan and every other club in the world, have the right to play the game the way they want to. The aim of the game is to put the ball in the back of the net and Stoke do that with ease.
"Whatever style you use, you just need to be good at it. Styles of play will not give you wins - what gives you wins is being good at the style of play you use."

Curious about the semantic web / graph stores, but don't know where to start?
We'll walk through setting up a community network directory webapp using standard Linked Data ontologies, using a combination of Scalatra (a Sinatra workalike in Scala), and Jena (a Java Semantic Web library).
The standard model for the semantic web / linked data is RDF, a directed, labeled graph where everything is identified by a URL (mostly). This can be viewed as a regular Object-Oriented model, where objects (nodes), that have properties (labeled edges), whose values can be data types or other objects. This makes an Object-Relational Mapping layer unnecessary, and any part of the data model can be presented in the REST paradigm at the URL it uses for its identifier. With a plethora of graph stores available, this format is a flexible and effective choice for networked data with arbitrary link depth, and the graph query language allows for very powerful patterns to be queried.
Also covered:
* Practical tips & tricks for incorporating open web schemas into your existing app, both consuming and publishing standard semantic web data.
* Data inferencing: adding rules to infer additional information as logical entailments of your existing model data.
* SPARQL, the standard graph query language (a description of a graph snippet with wildcards).
* Turning your network graphs into exciting diagrams!

First look: Doris Metropolitan
Doris Metropolitan is a contemporary steakhouse that doesn't fit the traditional steakhouse mold. And its owners would have it no other way.
Oh sure, there are copious amounts of dry-aged hunks of beef to be had – handled with the kind of reverence a couturier would lavish on the most bespoke fashions.
But the culinary similarities end there. Don't go to Doris Metropolitan, the chic new restaurant in the space that was Triniti's home for years, expecting white tablecloth formality, shrimp cocktail, creamed spinach, a Napa-heavy wine list and mile-high cheesecake for dessert. Doris Metropolitan traffics in none of those predictable steakhouse trappings.
This outpost of the well-regarded New Orleans restaurant has a menu invested with fresh perspective -- an international palate and an infatuation with good vegetables -- plus a painterly eye, with plates are boldly composed with splashes of color. There's also an eclectic wine list that boasts a nice collection of wines produced in Israel, including syrah, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir, and even sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and chenin blanc.
Israel is the tie that binds the concept's original owners, which was an outgrowth of a business called Doris Butchers in Israel. The partners went on to open Doris Metropolitan steakhouse in Costa Rica in 2010, followed by an outpost in New Orleans in 2013. And now the third Doris in Houston. The partners include Dori Rebichia, Itamar Levy, Itai Ben Eli (who is the managing partner and general manager of the Houston location) and chef/partner Sash Kurgan.
Eli said that opening in Houston was a consideration not long after Doris Metropolitan proved to be a hit in New Orleans. His customers, many who shared both New Orleans and Houston family and business ties, soon began pressing him to open a branch in Houston. About 18 months ago the partners began looking at a Texas expansion. Dallas was considered, but Houston proved to be a no-brainer, Eli said.
"We were very impressed by the culinary scene here, the feel of the city and the people," Eli said.
And by the property they eventually leased after Triniti called it quits. The restaurant, which can seat 120 including the bar and private dining, has been redesigned in a way that allows more light and opens up sightlines from the entrance to the kitchen. Gone is the moody enclave of Sanctuari bar, and the row of light-obstructing booths on the restaurant's westside interior. A fresh color scheme of white, mustard and blue harmonizes with walls of glass and wine racks.
Diners who knew the Triniti space will immediately notice the expansion of the bar, a long, u-shape extension that juts into the dining room with a whopping 30 seats. And, the red protein heart of the operations lies just beyond the bar – the meat locker where Doris Metropolitan dry ages its most popular cuts. The glass walled cage is something Snow White would envy – well-appointed and hung with a chandelier, its meaty contents as covetable as anything behind a Tiffany store window. "We like to present it as jewelry instead of racks of meat," Eli jokes.
Meat is the driving force, after all. Kurgan says the USDA Prime, bone-in cuts are wet aged for three weeks and then dry aged in the locker for 21 to 35 additional days. The meat selections include bone-in ribeye (cap off), ribeye, bone-in New York strip, tenderloin, porterhouse and the curiously named "classified cut," a proprietary steak that the partners won't identify (but is simply a cut that's unfamiliar to the American steakhouse lexicon). The beef offerings are augmented by Japanese A5 Wagyu and Texas Akaushi Wagyu. Side dishes include truffle French fries, a root vegetable puree, sautéed mushrooms, polenta and an Israeli salad.
Appetizers and several other mains are where Kurgan shows his stripes. There's an artichoke salad (artichokes three ways) with tzatziki sauce; sweetbreads with braised pearl onion and yogurt pearls that involve a bit of molecular gastronomy; oysters topped with toro tuna, and pearls conjured from a house-made fish sauce; octopus and smoked tomato salad; Jerusalem salad (roasted cauliflower, shallots, tomato salsa, tahini, yogurt); beef carpaccio; chateaubriand tartare; pistachio-crusted Chilean sea bass with Jerusalem artichoke puree; red wine-braised veal cheeks with truffled polenta; lamb chops with a warm tahini-yogurt salad; short ribs cooked for 24 hours served with smoked tomato au jus and root vegetable puree; and a "meat board" of grilled beef cuts and vegetables that can be tailored to serve any size party.
That meat board – a party on a platter – is set aflame at the table. It's a showmanship moment that adds fun and theatrical flair to the dining room. And maybe that's one of the important similarities Doris Metropolitan shares with a classic steakhouse.

New Delhi: Government tonight issued a notification for reviewing the present laws to provide speedier justice and enhanced punishment in cases of aggravated sexual assault.
Announcing this, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said government is serious about taking stringent action against those involved in the Delhi gangrape case at the earliest.
"The notification reflects how serious the government is. I assure the country that we are serious," he told reporters here.
Shinde said police had to resort to lathicharge against protesting students today at India Gate and its surrounding areas when they indulged in violence in which 18-20 policemen were injured.
One of the injured policeman is in critical condition, he said.
"Besides, Russian President Vladimir Putin is arriving in Delhi tomorrow. There should not be any such protest when he is visiting India. We are trying our best to cooperate with the students, but... No such picture should go out of the country for which India would come under criticism from the outside world. I again appeal to the students to maintain peace," he said.
After issuing the notification, the government also announced constitution of a three-member committee headed by former Chief Justice of India J S Verma.
The other members of the committee are Justice (retd) Leila Seth (former Chief Justice of Himachal Pradesh High Court) and former Solicitor General of India Gopal Subramanian.
The panel will give recommendations for reviewing the laws related to sexual assault.
It will look into possible amendments to criminal law for providing quicker trial and enhanced punishment for criminals accused of committing sexual assault of extreme nature against women.

Park, Min-Jong ; Shin, Yong-Wan ; Lee, Jung-Eun ; Yoo, Dong-Youl ; Lee, Bo-Ra ;
The Journal of Korean Obstetrics and Gynecology, volume 17, issue 3, 2004, Pages 1~1
This study was performed to evaluate antithrombotic action of Mokdansan(MDS) which has effects of activating blood and removing thrombus. The results were obtained as follows MDS significantly inhibited platelet aggregation indu ced by ADP and epinephrine when analyzed by the Sigmoid Emax model in WinNonlin. EC50 values of MDS were 0.16 mg/ml and 15.59 mg/ml for ADP and epinephrine respectively. MDS showed fibrinolytic activity insignificantly as compared with the control group. MDS increased blood flow rate significantly as compared with the control group in vitro, but insignificantly as compared with the control group in vivo.MDS inhibited pulmonary embolism induced by collagen and epinephrine (inhibitive rate 50 %). MDS increased number of platelet, fibrinogen amount and shortened prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time significantly as compared with the control group in thrombus model induced by dextran.

The Effect of Hwangkitang-gamibang on Immune Response and Blood Formation in a Delivered Murine Model
Kim, Hyun-Jong ; Shin, Yong-Wan ; Lee, Bo-Ra ; Lee, Jung-Eun ; Yoo, Dong-Youl ;
The Journal of Korean Obstetrics and Gynecology, volume 17, issue 3, 2004, Pages 26~26
The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of Hwangkitang (HKT) on the immune response and blood formation in a delivered-murine model. HKT (500mg/kg) was administerd p.o. once a day for 7 days. HKT decreased the cell viability of thymocytes in vivo and in vitro system, but increased the cell viability of splenocytes in delivered mice. HKT enhanced the population of helper T (Th) cells and decreased the population of cytotoxic T (Tc) cells in thymocytes. In addition, HKT decreased the population of B-lymphocytes in splenocytes. Also, HKT enhanced the production of
-interferon and interleukin-2 in splenocytes. HKT increased the production of nitric oxide in vivo, but did not affect the production of nitric oxide in vitro system. Furthermore, HKT enhanced the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages in vivo and in vitro. HKT partly recovered the level of RBC and hemoglobin decreased by phenylhydrazine at 10 days. These results suggest that HKT increase the specific immune response via enhancement of the viability of splenocytes and the non-specific immunity via enhancement of phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages and recover the number of RBC and the volume of hemoglobin in a delivered murine model.

After July 2002, What can we do for menopausal women - A review of recent research about HRT and a proposal of alternative therapies for treating climacteric or menopausal syndrome -
Kim, Dong-Il ;
The Journal of Korean Obstetrics and Gynecology, volume 17, issue 3, 2004, Pages 105~105
Introduction Until July 2002, hormone replacement therapy(HRT) had been the standard therapy in the United States and Korea for treating menopausal symptoms. Not only did hormone therapy relieve such discomforts as hot flashes and vaginal dryness, but it also seemed to protect against several postmenopausal conditions, such as osteoporosis and heart disease. Lots of Korean women believed that HRT has more benefit than side effect. But in July 2002, the Women's Health Initiative(WHI)-a large, multi-tiered clinical trial sponsored by the National Institutes of Health in the United States-reported that hormone therapy actually posed more health risks than benefits for most women1). And as the number of health hazards attributed to hormone therapy grew, doctors discontinued routine prescriptions for this popular treatment. So recently very much Korean women who has been taken HRT worry about its side effects and quit that therapy. They want to find alternative therapy instead of HRT. Korean traditional medicine(KTM) has been used and regarded as a good method for the climacteric syndrome and postmenopausal syndrome. But many patients thought KTM's herbal prescriptions are expensive and inconvenient, moreover acupuncture therapy is very painful, as those reasons HRT is more acceptable than KTM in climacteric or postmenopausal women in Korea.But the circumstances are changed totally after July 2002, other researches that support the WHI's result are continued. Now public health information site in the internet like 'Myoclinic.com' and 'MedilinePlus.com' concern HRT's risks to healthy postmenopausal women and give informations about alternative therapies. So many Korean women who has been taken HRT and someone who hoped to will be take HRT worrying about what is the best choice for their health. But we KTM doctors didn't give enough and correct answers about their worries after our research team translated WHI's result in July 20022). That is very regretful thing to not only KTM doctors but also all Korean postmenopausal women. In this paper we described review of recent research about HRT and its alternative therapies, also we explained the treatment of the climacteric syndrome and postmenopausal syndrome with KTM. Recent research about HRT July 2002 WHI's study population consisted of older postmenopausal women-the average age was 63 at the start of the trial. And who attended that study were healthy uterus remained women. It's unknown whether the study findings can be applied to younger postmenopausal women and hysterectomized women will be continued in western medicine. In this part we introduced recent researches about HRT. Despite decades of use and considerable research, the role of estrogen alone in preventing chronic diseases in postmenopausal women remains uncertain. So Anderson et. al.(Women's Health Initiative Steering Committee) researched to assess the effects on major disease incidence rates of the most commonly used postmenopausal hormone therapy in the United States. This research was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled disease prevention trial (the estrogen-alone component of the Women's Health Initiative [WHI] conducted in 40 US clinical center beginning in 1993. Enroled were 10,739 postmenopausal women, aged 50-79 years, with prior hysterectomy, including 23% of minority race/ethnicity. Women were randomly assigned to receive either 0.625 mg/d of conjugated equine estrogen(CEE) or placebo. The primary outcome was coronary heart disease(CHD) incidence (nonfatal yocardial infarction or CHD death). Invasive breast cancer incidence was the primary safety outcome. A global index of risks and benefits, including these primary outcomes plus stroke, pulmonary embolism(PE), colorectal cancer, hip fracture, and deaths from other causes, was used for summarizing overall effects. In February 2004, after reviewing data through November 30, 2003, the National Institutes of Health(NIH) decided to end the intervention phase of the trial early. Estimated hazard ratios(HRs) (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) for CEE vs placebo for the major clinical outcomes available through February 29, 2004 (average follow-up 6.8 years), were: CHD, 0.91 (0.75-1.12) with 376 cases; breast cancer, 0.77 (0.59-1.01) with 218 cases; stroke, 1.39 (1.10-1.77) with 276 cases; PE, 1.34 (0.87-2.06) with 85 cases; colorectal cancer, 1.08 (0.75-1.55) with 119 cases; and hip fracture, 0.61 (0.41-0.91) with 102 cases. Corresponding results or composite outcomes were; total cardiovascular disease, 1.12 (1.01-1.24); total cancer, 0.93 (0.81-1.07); total fractures, 0.70 (0.63-0.79); total mortality, 1.04 (0.88-1.22), and the global index, 1.01 (0.91-1.12). For the outcomes significantly affected by CEE, there was an absolute excess risk of 12 additional strokes per 10,000 person-years and an absolute risk reduction of 6 fewer hip fractures per 10,000 person-years. The estimated excess risk for all monitored events in the global index was a nonsignificant 2 events per 10,000 person-years. The use of CEE increases the risk of stroke, decreases the risk of hip fracture, and does not affect CHD incidence in postmenopausal women with prior hysterectomy over an average of 6.8 years. A possible reduction in breast cancer risk requires further investigation. The burden of incident disease events was equivalent in the CEE and placebo groups, indicating no over benefit. Thus, this research suggest CEE should not be recommended for chronic disease prevention in postmenopausal women. So we KTM doctors can get another chance or turning point. 1. Breast cancer HRT is an important etiologic factor of breast cancer. In june 2003, WHI explained the influence of estrogen plus progestin on breast cancer and mammography in healthy postmenopausal women. That report provides randomized clinical trial evidence that postmenopausal estrogen plus progestin use significantly increases the incidence of breast cancer within a 5-year period. The breast cancer diagnosed in women in the hormone therapy group had similar histology and grade but were more likely to have advanced stage vs women in the placebo group. Theres results suggest that invasive breast cancers developing in women receiving estrogen plus progestin therapy may have an unfavorable prognisis. And they suggested that In that study mammographic breast density was not routinely measured, estrogen plus progestin may hinder proper breast cancer diagnosis. Pfleiderer et al. investigated effects of HRT on contrast medium enhancement patterns in postmenopausal patients during magnetic resonance mammography(MRM). In their research the majority of patients receiving postmenopausal HRT showed bilateral symmetrical, continuous enhancement without evidence of a plateau phenomenon or a washout effect deu to HRT in MRM. Hormonal effects could be proven and were reproducible and reversible. Oestreicher et al. studied breast cancer etiology in tumor cell proliferation They said certain factors related to hormonal exposure that influence breast tumor etiology, for example, age also appear to increase tumor growth. Conversely HRT use, which clearly increases breast cancer risk, may not adversely affect, and possibly may diminish cell proliferation once tumors are established. 2. Dementia Dementia is an attendant risk of the HRT. And Galen et al. concluded given equivalent groups of users and nonusers of HRT no support was found for the hypothesis that use of HRT improves cognitive performance in older women. 3. Heart disease and stroke Coronary heart disease and stroke are also attendant risk of the HRT. And HRT has no place in secondary prevention of coronary or carotic artery disease. So its use in these patients mush be based on solid nonvascular indications and expected benefits from these causes. La Vecchia concluded HRT is associated to a moderate excess risk in randomized studies, and should therefore not be used for the prevention of stroke. 4. Colorectal cancer, osteoporsis-related hip fractures and fewer instances of colorectal cancer. And its effect to hot flush remains unchanged. But these positive effect about osteoporosis and hot flushes have many alternatives such as exercise, calcium rich foods, acupuncture and KTM herbal drugs.

Purpose : Researches on alternative oriental medical therapy have been demanded due to the implication of hormone replacement therapy commonly applied for the climacteric symptoms. Therefore, we surveyed women in the postmenopausal periods to understand their perception on climacteric phases, experience of any physical and psychological changes, their needs and wants in therapy, impression on hormone replacement therapy and perception on the oriental medicine as a choice of postmenopausal therapy. We expect this survey will serve as a framework for the planning of postmenopausal clinical therapy in Oriental Gynecology. Method : From June 1 to July 1 2004, we randomly selected 63 women in the postmenopausal period in the age of 44-59 who visited Dong-In-Dang Oriental Medical Hospital and surveyed with questionnaire. Result :1.57.1% of selected subjects had an experience of postmenopausal therapy. Hormone replacement therapy was the primary choice of therapy (80.6%) for their climacteric symptoms and 33.3% had an experience of oriental medical therapy.2. Osteoporosis is one of the most concerned climacteric symptoms. Since long-term administration of hormone is discouraged due to various adverse side effects, oriental medical therapy is expected to play a significant role in controlling osteoporosis of women in climacteric phase. 3. According to the report from NIH, possible side effects of hormone replacement therapy include breast cancer (71.4%), heart disease (19.%), stroke (12.7%) and arterial thrombosis (7.9%). Subjects didn't perceive most of side effects of hormone therapy except for breast cancer. They seemed to have vague fear for the cancer as the side effects of the hormone therapy without knowing the rest of individual side effects. 4. Subjects were willing to have oriental postmenopausal therapy in the future (84.1%), suggesting strong preference for oriental medical therapy but lack of recognition of postmenopausal therapy in Oriental Gynecology was one of obstacles, while the biggest obstacle was the high cost of oriental postmenopausal therapy.

Purpose : This study was carried out to acquire the information about health status and health promotion behavior of Korean Buddhist nuns. And we hoped to find the way of proper medical care for health promotion of them. Method : This study was composed of medical examination(blood pressure check, blood test, body composition analysis with electric impedance(In-body 3.0), SA2000) and questionnaire survey. Medical examination was done to 31 Buddhist nuns on June 2004. And this medical examination results of 31 Buddhist nuns were compared with 31 women patients of same ages were done general health examination in Gang-Nam oriental medical hospital, Dongguk university. Questionnaire survey of 60 Buddhist nuns was done. Results: In medical examination results, the percentage of Buddhist nuns who need to vaccinate hepatitis B was 67.7%, and significantly higher than control group. Hemoglobin and total cholesterol levels were significantly lower than control group. But Body mass index and edema index level were significantly higher than control group. In questionnaire survey results, Health status of most of Buddhist nuns was poor and digestive system and musculoskeletal system symptoms were mainly complained. And health managements of most of the Buddhist nuns were insufficient. Conclusion : Health status of most Buddhist nuns was not good and easily got Anemia, hypolipidemia and obesity. In future, the effort must be done in hepatitis B vaccination and regular health examination about Buddhist nuns.

The Journal of Korean Obstetrics and Gynecology, volume 17, issue 3, 2004, Pages 179~179
Purpose: Radiotherapy is an irreplaceable method of cervical cancer treatment, but it has several complications, especially acute or chronic gastrointestinal complications. In the case of severe hematochezia, western medical therapy is usually ineffective. The purpose of this study is to report the effect of oriental treatment for hematochezia after radiotherapy of the cervical cancer. Methods: We observed and treated two patients, 78-year-old female and 39-year-old female, who had hematochezia after radiotherapy of the cervical cancer. In oriental medicine, spleen and stomach are the origin of the acquired constitution and the spleen controls blood within the vessels(脾統血). We regarded the cause of these cases as insufficiency of spleen and stomach(脾胃虛弱). So, the patients were treated by combination therapy of acupuncture, moxibustion and herbal medicine to invigorate the spleen and stomach to benefit Qi(健脾胃益氣). Result: After oriental treatment of acupuncture, moxibustion and herbal medicine to invigorate the spleen and stomach to benefit Qi(健脾胃益氣), hematochezia was decreased and additionally general weakness and anorexia were improved. Conclusion: It is expected to increase demand of oriental treatment under the circumstance of insufficient western treatment for gastrointestinal or genitournary complications after radiotherapy of the cervical cancer. And many researches and case studies will be needed about complications after radiotherapy of the cervical cancer.

Panic disorder is that suffering panic accompany severe symptoms, such as dyspnea, feeling of chocking, palpitation, chest discomfort or pain, sweating, feeling of dizzy, trembling of shaking, abdominal disorder, numbness or tingling sensations, chills or hot flushes, fear of dying, fear of losing control or going crazy, yet there is no real indisposition. The women in climacteric, they may suffer from palpitation, feeling of ascending fever, feeling of anxiety, which are similar to the symptom of panic disorder. If the women, who are under panic disorder, get going with the menopause, they will feel more painful. This case is that of a woman in her late fifties who are diagnosed as panic disorder 10 years ago. She suffered the climacteric while treated with panic disorder and the respective symptoms got worse. However, her symptoms became much better after oriental herb treatment for them for five months. During the treatment, a favorable turn of the menopausal hormone was shown in the lab tests and on the sheets for diagnosing panic disorder.

Park, Young-Sun ; Kim, Dong-Chul ; Baek, Seung-Hee ;
The Journal of Korean Obstetrics and Gynecology, volume 17, issue 3, 2004, Pages 199~199
Uterine myoma is the most common gynecologic neoplasm in women. Western medical treatments for uterine myoma are hysterectomy, myomectomy, and the use of GnRH agonists etc. But in oriental medicine, it can be similar conceptional Jingha(징가), which is a sort of pelvic mass, so it has been treated as blood stasis. The purpose of this study is to report 2 cases of treatment of uterine myoma, diagnosed by ultrasonographic examination. We used Sobokchukyetang-gami(少腹逐瘀湯加味) in one case diagnosed as blood stasis due to coldness(寒凝血滯) and Guibiondamtang-gami(歸脾溫膽湯加味) in the other case dignosed as blood insufficiency of the heart and spleen (心脾血虛). After this treatment, all the symptoms of uterine myoma were improved and the size of the uterine myoma was reduced significantly. So it indicates that the oriental medical treatment is effective on the 2 cases with uterine myoma, but continuous observation and study are needed.

Purpose : The purpose of this paper is to report the effect of oriental medicine to secondary infertility caused by ovulation disorder. Method : The patient in this case, 27 years-old female was treated with herb medication in 4 times and whether ovulation or not was evaluated by hormone assay in 2 times for about 3 months(2th/May/2003 - 26th/July/2003). Before oriental treatment, she had been diagnosed as secondary infertility caused by ovulation disorder in a private OBGY hospital and treated with medication and injection for ovulation induction in 2 times. But she had failed in ovulation. Result : There was significant improvement about menstrual irregularity and ovulation disorder after taking herb medication. Moreover, she became pregnant. Conclusion : According to this result, we concluded that herb medication could improve fertility rate owing to improve ovulation disorder. After this paper, further study and clinical approach based on oriental medicine will be needed about infertility caused by ovulation disorder.

Here is some great reading for the weekend. Relax, enjoy some coffee or tea or whatever you fancy, and read, read, read….
One of the reasons I like to post these links to articles to read is because it helps promote the opportunity to slow down and rest. Whether you call this sabbath or just a day off, in this article, "Here are 7 principles about Sabbath rest that I am learning. I share them in hopes they might help others fighting the battle of busyness, fatigue, and endurance."
I've said it before, but in terms of wealth and comfort, most of us in the USA have far more than we need; heck, more that we want. This is a good reminder that you are a lot wealthier than you realize.
We all love our children more than we can even understand. For those who want to pray more consistently for their kids, here is a nice resource. If you don't buy into all this faith & prayer stuff, it's worth a quick read anyway… it can still give you some excellent ideas on how to love your kids.
Here's an interesting article about how one family's time living abroad gave them a different persecutive on living a simpler life with less stuff. Thanks to my sister for pointing it out to me!
If you have a child who is getting close in age to having a cell phone, this is a great article about a contract some parents signed with their child. It has links to several other good ones as well. When our kids get cell phones, this is definitely something we will be doing.
Apparently iPads aren't as screamingly popular as they one were.

I read some truly distrubing news today, indicating that Barack Obama's campaign is threatening TV stations which air the NRA's ads about Obama's anti gun record:
The Obama campaign sent cease and desist letters to news outlets in Pennsylvania and Ohio, denouncing the ads and demanding their removal from the airwaves. All stations where NRA-PVF has purchased or plans to purchase ads have been provided with documented evidence of Sen. Obama's anti-gun record.
Read the whole story, along with a copy of the threatening letter, here.
Join the NRA today and do your part to help preserve our gun rights (and save $10).

With more and more companies moving, as Google is moving, to 100 percent renewable electricity, Boulder's municipal utility offers a much more attractive value proposition to business than Xcel offers, given Xcel's long-term commitment to fossil fuels. (For a list of Renewable Energy 100 companies, see: http://there100.org/companies).
And the municipal utility offers even more than just attractiveness to business. It's something practical we can do locally to help avert a climate disaster.
Just a few months ago, NASA's top climate scientist warned that the planet is warming at a pace not experienced within the past 1,000 years and that we need "significant and very rapid cuts in carbon dioxide emissions." (www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/aug/30/nasa-climate-change-warning-earth-temperature-warming). "Significant and very rapid cuts" is not what Xcel is planning.
Recent research has found that just five more years of carbon dioxide emissions at current levels will virtually wipe out any chance of restraining temperatures to a 1.5 Celsius increase and avoid runaway climate change. (www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-only-five-years-left-before-one-point-five-c-budget-is-blown) We need to keep moving forward with the municipal utility.

The Sedgwick County FFA chapter has received one of three grants the Colorado Corn Administrative Council awards each year to local FFA groups.
The Sedgwick County chapter received one of the three $2,500 grants to help build a 50-foot-by-20-foot structure on its school farm to be used for raising market hogs as an organization to sell to the community. The structure also will provide space for raising animals as fair projects for interested youth who otherwise couldn't because of space or other constraints.
FFA chapters in Manzanola and Holly all so received grants. The one in Manzanola will be used to help start a new chapter there.
The grant program started in 2013 and, since that time, CCAC has given nearly $30,000 to local FFA chapters throughout the state.
Mark Sponsler, CEO of Colorado Corn, called the FFA grant program "one of our most worthwhile endeavors.
"We believe any investments that assist the top-notch youth who make up our FFA chapters are always dollars well-spent," he said.

Paul and I went to the Australian Sheep & Wool Show on Saturday. I hadn't been since 2009, when I tagged along with some of the Ravelry Rocketeers. I ran into a spinner from that group, and a friend. It was a glorious day, sunny but not hot. The show was bigger than I remember, and though I didn't think I'd buy much I spent over $400. Well, I have been on a stash diet since the beginning of 2009 (though I'm beginning to think that the only time I'm not on a stash diet is between the time I arrive somewhere where yarn is sold until the moment I hand over the money for it.) And the pricier items were the fringe twister and books.
Here's the haul:
From left to right, top to bottom:
SWTC Jazz in silver, pewter and a metallic multicolour from Stranded In Oz
Two skeins of unlabelled silk yarn from a shop that didn't give me a receipt (but they gave me the Bendigo bag at the top)
Grey Bunny Mink from Ixchel
Leila wool-bamboo sock, Pisces cobweb, Iris lace weight, Rufus 4ply merino-cashmere, and Primrose sock yarn from Moseley Park
Lang Jawoll Magic in multicoloured gem tones and Lang Mille Colori in graduated greys
Scarf Pin (which I'm also going to use as a hair clip) by Wool N Wire
Buttons, purple cotton yarn and a netting shuttle from the button lady
Fringe twister and inkle shuttle from the stall that sold Ashford Products (no receipt)
Fudge and chocolate coated mini puddings
Books from Colonial Lake Books
Bisk-Art Cookie Cutters
Once upon a time I would never have looked twice at lace weight or cobweb yarn, but this time I averted my eyes from anything heavier than 4ply. Though I can weave heavier yarns, I have plenty already. If I buy lighter yarn it can be used on the knitting machine as well. And now I have plenty of that kind of yarn. I just need to find time to knit or weave it.

Your Lexus Rx300 headlight assembly is an important component of the car. When hitting the road at night and under extreme weather circumstances, you should use your headlamp to light up the road or through rain streaks. To enable this part to function appropriately, your headlamps are mounted securely on housings that connects them to the framework of the vehicle. Activating the headlamp is achieved using the switch right on the dash, the side of the steering column, or at the steering stalk (if applicable).
You have two categories for your own Lexus Rx300 headlight assembly according to its design, the sealed and the composite. You have to replace your OE sealed lamp as one unit. A composite headlamp can be replaced in a 'per part' , which is usually an aftermarket. Sealed or composite, your headlamp has distinct engineering and performance specifications that adhere to predetermined standards in a state or government.
Over time, the Lexus Rx300 headlight assembly will get busted. You can choose to change this part with a sealed or a composite aftermarket. Here at Parts Train, we have both types from world-class GT Styling, Wade Auto, Hella, or Replacement brands.

MANHATTAN — Yoga pants can be a minefield of awkwardness, with panty lines, bunching, chafing, wedgies and menstrual mishaps.
So after trying on no fewer than 70 different styles of the skin-tight studio staple, Julie Sygiel, founder of the lingerie line Dear Kate, was certain she could do better.
"I like the marketing challenge of a taboo subject and trying to find a way to present it that makes people feel comfortable," said Sygiel, who is currently taking online pre-orders for the $128 pants that allows wearers to "go commando" — or without underwear — while providing protection from unwanted exposure and other issues.
Through a Kickstarter campaign her company launched in late May, the 26-year-old has funded the production of a line of pants that have a built-in panty liner made from "Underlux" — a lightweight, breathable fabric the company uses to make its special underwear, Sygiel explained, noting the underwear aren't meant to replace tampons or pads.
They also have special seams that make it impossible to reveal anything below the waist, she said.
Upon trying on the first prototype, "I was just glowing," recalled Sygiel, who lives in Midtown East and runs her company from the Financial District, in offices shared with the website Refinery 29.
"It was amazing being able to wear yoga pants without underwear. They're incredibly comfortable, and you're not worried about visible panty lines."
Though Dear Kate only set out to raise $15,000 — enough to pay for a small fabric order and its manufacturing, both of which are done in the U.S. — the online response Sygiel got was tremendous.
As of Monday, two days after the campaign ended, she'd raised nearly $159,000 from more than 1,300 donors, allowing for the manufacturing and distribution of the pants, as well as qualifying donors for their own pairs. Those interested in the pants can pre-order through October, when it will stock them in their online store.
Donors were enthused about the design.
"I want tight-fitting pants, but I don't want to share all my anatomical details with the world," said one Kickstarter page commenter.
Others said the pants will save them the frustration of having to change or rearrange underwear during yoga and other workouts.
"I was all kinds of distracted worrying about what was going on with the apparel situation," spinning instructor Rachel Spiker said on the company's Facebook page, noting that underwear has gotten in the way of her teaching. "Made class not great."
Yoga enthusiast Stefani Jackenthal, who runs an Upper West Side-based wine-tasting business, described underwear lines as almost taboo.
"I'm always surprised to see women in class wearing panties," she said. "Those panty lines and thongs hanging out are certainly issues."
Sygiel's sense of the level of demand for better underwear drove her to launch Dear Kate as a startup during her junior year at Brown University in 2008 while taking an entrepreneurship class.
Some early seed money in the first few months after graduating let her pursue the goal of creating "the Wonder Woman of underwear," Sygiel said. Her quest involved buying, cutting up and reassembling countless pairs of underwear and then giving test samples to all of her female friends.
"The goal was to have the thinnest fabric combination possible that added the right protection," she said.
Sygiel shied away from adding material that was too plastic-like, because "we don't need a yellow rain slicker on our underwear, we just need a little extra protection," she said.
Once she found the perfect fabrics to combine into three layers at the base of her underwear, she found several U.S-based fabric purveyors and a manufacturer in Queens. The first 100 pairs went on the market in January 2011.
Dear Kate has since expanded, placing underwear in about 40 small boutiques, but largely chasing after web retail through its online store. Sygiel, who has four other female staffers, wouldn't divulge her profit margins, but said she's shipping to all 50 states and 36 countries, and that the company in 2014 has already doubled its sales from all of last year.
In the future, Sygiel said, Dear Kate could expand beyond just underwear and yoga pants to create clothing or activewear "that's more thoughtfully designed for women."
