The Ladies Lunch by Dress For Success Scotland
That day I wore an outfit to be a photographer assistant. I wanted to wear something simple, "less is more" but still something me, something I wore before, something I can talk about.
Obviously everything I wear has a story.
Those shoes are from the Hungarian H&M because they sold out in the UK, so I told my Mum that my life depends on those. The trousers? I think maybe it's part of a boys suit that was fitted for me in the waist. Definitely not a Ladies style. The shirt? Free! Basically a "Lost&Found" piece. It's a mens size, it looks huge on me so I picked a belt to show that I actually have a small waist under that shirt.
This is the outfit that will always remind me of the day when the charity catwalk show was saved! Remember the story?
I went as a photographer and left as a catwalk model. I couldn't stop smiling and basically jumping around with the outfit I got to keep for all I have done. I seriously don't have a comfort zone any more.
I decided to show this look too from the day. The catwalk photos are definitely all about looking-feeling-being fabulous, but that's the end of the story. This is the start. On a sunny day in Glasgow I wore the exact same outfit, I even did the same make up and hair.
Maybe it is just another outfit for You, maybe it is just a stupid story as well but on that event I met the best people from models to organisers and the members of the charity.(My blog has more followers on Instagram now as well – perks of going to the right places – Diva Dora).
For the invitation to the event and for these amazing photos many thanks for Brant Adam!

InnoPitch Award 2012 – Interview with Lars Sudmann from Sudmann & Company bvba
Two weeks before the grand presentation at the Young Innovators Unconvention' Town Hall Session we asked the six InnoPitch Awards 2012 finalists to briefly answer four questions in order to introduce themselfs to the world. Check out Lars Sudmann (LS) answers:
European Young Innovators Forum – How did you hear about EYIF and the InnoPitch Awards 2012? LS – I came across the EYIF and InnoPitch contest via a LinkedIn update and was immediately hooked by the idea. I am a big supporter of the European idea and I believe that innovation must be at the core of Europe. We need innovation and the EYIF is a great forum to bring this to the European level.
EYIF– What are your expectations from participating at the InnoPitch Award 2012?
LS- First of all, to have the possibility to present an innovative idea to a great audience. On top I look forward to meeting and discussing with fellow entrepreneurs, experts and other participants of the conference. And then it would of course be nice to win the competition 🙂
EYIF – Why will you win? (what is your strong card)
LS – Firstly, we know the customers and buyers of our product very well (multinational corporations). Secondly, I have personally experienced the 'pain' of remote work myself and have a big passion to remove that pain. And thirdly, as a former business executive I believe we can also put it into a tangible and exciting business.
EYIF – Who are you going to thank if you win?
LS – I will thank the team that has worked with me and passionately supported me over the past months; on top I want to thank somebody else, and for this I need to quote Richard St. John. As he said in his brilliant TED talk: "The key to success is to push yourself. It's not easy to push yourself and that's why they have invented mothers". My mother has not only pushed me but she has also always supported me and gave me the feeling that all is possible if you put yourself behind an idea. I will forever thank her for that.
Take a look at Lars Sudmann's InnoPitch Video Submission
We are looking forward to meeting all the InnoPitch Award 2012′ Finalists in Brussels! Come to meet the InnoPitch Awards 2012 Finalists and many other inspiring personalities by joining us at the UNconvention. To reserve your chance to participate, do so by registering on our website as soon as possible.

Durham were indebted to a fifth straight championship half century from captain Jon Lewis as they ended the second day of their Frizzell County Championship match with Worcestershire on 146-3 off 44 overs.
Lewis was unbeaten on 66 as the Riversiders trailed Worcester by 249 runs at the halfway stage of the game.
The opener has now surpassed last year's meagre total of 289 runs in 15 championship innings in just five visits to the crease this year.
Durham had been reduced to 41-2 after South African paceman Nantie Hayward had dismissed Michael Gough and Gordon Muchall with successive deliveries.
But Lewis and youngster Gary Pratt put on 99 for the third wicket before Pratt edged spinner Gareth Batty to Graeme Hick at first slip for 38.
In-form Lewis, however, didn't give a chance as he passed the 300 mark in the championship.
Apart from half an hour before lunch, Durham had toiled in the field as Worcestershire finally closed on 395 after 107 overs just before tea.
And again Durham's inability to knock over the tail proved costly as opening bowler Kabir Ali hit a career-best unbeaten 84.
Earlier in the day, Worcester had reached 250-3 when Ben Smith, on 81, became the first of Javagal Srinath's three victims.
Smith's departure signalled a collapse which saw four wickets fall for just eight runs inside seven overs.
But from 258-7 Worcester's last three wickets put on 137 vital runs on a good Stockton batting track.
That gave the visitors the whip hand in this early-season bottom-two clash and that was strengthened by the early departures of Gough and Muchall.
Lewis, however, remained typically steadfast as he accumulated steadily, hitting 10 fours with night-watchman Nicky Phillips surviving the last few overs.
While Lewis took the honours with the bat, strike bowlers Steve Harmison and Javagal Srinath both claimed three wickets.
Harmison, expected to be in the England squad for next week's first Test against Zimbabwe, took 3-69 off 29 overs and Srinath 3-70 from 27 overs.
But Durham's support bowling was weak, all-rounder Danny Law conceding 100 runs from 22 overs and Phillips wicketless while conceding 80 runs from his 15 overs of spin.
Worcestershire got 100 more runs than they should have and Durham needed to occupy the crease today to prevent the visitors from taking a sizeable first-innings lead.
SCOREBOARD: Overnight - Worcestershire 395 ( Kabir Ali 84 no, B Smith 81, S Hamrison 3-69). Durham 146-3 (J J Lewis not out 66).
Meanwhile, the NatWest Interactive Cricket Roadshow bowls into Newcastle's Haymarket tomorrow and Sunday.
The Roadshow aims to take cricket into the community and give kids of all ages the opportunity to test their skills as well as qualify for the Nat West Speed Challenge final at Lord's.
Players will join ECB-endorsed coaches to help youngsters improve their cricket skills.

"When we got up to his room after all those drinks, I was getting pretty horny; I closely stuck my tongue in his mouth while rubbing his cock through his pants. He reached through the slit of my dress- your favorite dress you had me wear to be seduced and fucked in- and he pushed my panties aside and finger-fucked me 'til I came. You grasp how much that turns me on; being fingered and sucked and fucked with my underwear pushed to one side. At that point I was close to to be fucked because I wanted it, not just because you wanted me to- I severely wanted to feel his cock pummeling me. After he made me cum with his fingers I stared at him and told him I wanted him to fuck me. We took each other's clothes free and got on his bed in a 69; I sucked his cock and balls and he made me cum again sucking my horny soppy pussy. Then I was on my back, spread to the utmost unlock with my legs on his shoulders. I felt so exposed and slutty present myself like that to someone who was lusting after me just to use my body; I was reasonable someone else's wife for him to lustfully pump his cum into. He really sprawled me exposed and mercilessly shoved his cock in me. He had wanted me so bad for so long and he was finally having me. I forced to have been really water because his cock had no problem sliding all the way up to where it hurts. IT FELT SOOO Give a hoot GOOD though, it wasn't big before I was telling him to make my hands down, saying "HOLD ME DOWN- RAPE ME- Deflower MY HORNY CUNT- PUMP YOUR FUCKING CUM INTO ME!" as I came again and again. He was incredibly turned on too but he lasted forever and I thought he would split me open. He really got in error on holding me down and taking me savagely while I told him to "rape me with his grave cock". You would have loved to see your little brown-skinned wife there being raped by a pretentiously immaculate cock knowing that cock wasn't your own. You would cause loved to be there . . . up close . . . watching his cock going in and incorrect of your wife's pussy . . . fucking in and out of me . . . using and pleasuring your wife . . . wouldn't you?

Pride and Pantyless
I am sure you have heard the scripture in Proverbs, "Pride comes before the fall."
Usually said to someone in a condescending tone, the scripture is rarely quoted out of love for someone.
"Bless her heart, we need to pray for her. Do you see how many selfies she posted?! She is absolutely in love with herself! You know what the Bible says about that…pride comes before the fall…"
A couple of Sundays ago Jason was preaching at church and we decided to all ride together and go early with him. He has to be there earlier than we do so instead of busting through the church doors like Hell itself was on my tail, we got there early with him. Instead we walked in cool hand Luke like we owned the joint.
Bless God.
I was standing at the coffee bar counter talking to some ladies when someone walked by and complimented on how sweet Ellie looked.
I gently smiled and thanked them for their compliment.
Ellie was oblivious.
You see, while we were getting ready that morning, Ellie had asked me if she could wear a costume dress that matched her American Girl doll.
Not only did I say "yes" but I surprised her last minute by dressing her doll in the same dress.
So I'm chit chatting with the ladies, giving recipes on how to make my "superhero coffee" #marthastewart when I feel a tug on my skirt. I looked down at this sweet round faced angel #blessed only to hear a very quiet voice say, "Mommie, I have no panties on."
Ahem. A little louder darling so the people in the choir and sound booth can hear.
I slid my hand beneath 42 layers of tulle and satin only to feel two little fleshy clementine shaped butt cheeks.
Uh, yes, that's affirmative. We have a commando.
In the House of God.
I looked up to the face of my friend across the counter and said, "Well, we were early. All the kids even ate breakfast before we came. But Ellie…no panties."
Her eyes widened and she started dying laughing.
The commotion caught the attention of the ladies working the "Welcome Center" so naturally I turned Ellie around, looked quickly for offend-able eyes and with my 3 year old I mooned them.
Laughter soon spread across the end of the hallway.
This event taught me several things.
Would you like to hear them?
1) Please don't EVER take yourself seriously
I was walking in that place like, "Look at me y'all! I got all my crap together! We don't look crazy, we have eaten breakfast and we. are. early." BOOM. Who cares if you act a fool and laugh and actually enjoy the time you're alive. Life is too short.
This leads me to my next point…
2) God has such a sense of humor.
I know He was getting a real belly laugh at me being all hot toddy knowing what was coming next.
Who forgets panties!?
It makes sense that His word says in Proverbs "A merry heart does good like medicine…"
This affirms the fact that…
3) Parenthood keeps you humble
And no one tells you this before you have children.
No one tells you that you'll pray for the rapture when your 3 year old son has a meltdown during a youth soccer game.
Or that you'll wear a shirt with vomit on it.
Or that you'll breastfeed your cranky baby in a junkyard while talking to a toothless guy named Buck. (Buck was clueless by the way…)
And lastly,
4) It's about time we get set free!
Now I'm not saying we all throw our bloomers out with the Tuesday night trash.
Panties are important! We got stuff we need to hold in…
But on those days when you feel like you are a fragile little eggshell about to be dropped on a ceramic tile floor…maybe that's the precise moment God is wanting you to let go of something.
To rejoice in Him, where TRUE freedom can be found!
He's saying to us, "Not this again! I thought you gave that over to me last week! Can you please trust Me with that situation?! Please don't pick it up again!"
Let's stop caring about what people think about us! They're going to talk about you anyway so it might as well bring glory to God!
Let's stop worrying about the stuff that will never happen. The stuff that won't change by dwelling on it.
Let's stop beating ourselves up because you are trying to "fix" yourself. Not by might or by power, but my Spirit says the Lord.
So instead of letting a broken spirit dry up your bones, throw caution, and maybe your panties if they are constantly in a wad or up your crack, to the wind.
And let God truly handle the rest.

PLEASANTON — Bagpipers, dancers, games of strength, sheepherding dogs, whiskey sellers, and living history performers celebrate everything Scottish on Saturday and Sunday in the largest Scottish Highland games and festival in North America.
And the Marines are back after a one-year absence caused by the federal government's sequester restrictions last year.
The 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing Band, from Miramar, in Southern California, will play alongside Britain's 1st Battalion Pipes and Drum Scots Guards, a group that dates back to 1700s. The group has played at the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, among other places.
"The amalgamation of both of these extraordinary bands will be among the highlights of this year's games," said Geoffrey Craighead, chief of the Caledonian Club of San Francisco, organizer of the games.
The games began in San Francisco in 1866. The 149th Scottish Highland Gathering and Games runs from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Alameda County Fairgrounds, off Bernal Road in Pleasanton, where is has been held since 1994.
Some 40,000 to 50,000 people typically attend the two-day event, with many crowding into the grandstand shortly before 4 p.m. each day for the massed band closing ceremonies featuring the two military bands plus 30 bagpipe bands from America and Canada.
It is the largest assembly of bagpipe bands anywhere in America, said Floyd Busby, a spokesman for the games.
Other festival attractions include athletic strength competitions featuring the caber toss and Scottish hammer throws, the Western U.S. Open Highland Dancing Championships, music and entertainment on six stages, living history performers re-enacting old ceremonies and battles, and a variety of vendors selling Scottish goods. Many Scottish clans will have booths to discuss genealogy.
Contact Denis Cuff at 925-943-8267. Follow him at Twitter.com/deniscuff.
When: 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
Where: Alameda County Fairgrounds, 4501 Pleasanton Ave., Pleasanton
Cost: Single-day tickets cost $21 for adults, $11 for youngsters between 12 and 17. Children under 12 get in free.

Today was sprints day these all out efforts for a minute are exhausting but they help build my explosive power and fast twitch muscle fibres, otherwise known as type 2a and type 2b muscle fibres.
My sprints today were really hard work! But I am noticing that I go further during my sprint which is great as it means I am getting faster.
Although heart rate can be effected my sleep, hydration and temperature when I do my sprints I am looking to work in my threshold and vo2 max zones.
I have a rest day tomorrow and then on Saturday my first race of the season. A sportive in West Sussex, I am looking forward to racing my new era and putting all the hard work over the winter to the test.
Check back on Sunday for my race report.

18, 1918
New York City
|physical chemistry
|Alma mater
|City College of New York
Harvard University
University of Michigan
|Notable awards
|Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1985
Jerome Karle (born June 18, 1918) is an American Jewish physical chemist. Jointly with Herbert A. Hauptman, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1985, for the direct analysis of crystal structures using X-ray scattering techniques.[1][2]
Karle was born in New York City on June 18, 1918. He was born into a family with a strong interest in the arts. He had played piano as a youth and had participated in a number of competitions, but he was far more interested in science.[1] He attended Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn, and would later join Arthur Kornberg (awarded the Nobel in Medicine in 1959) and Paul Berg (a winner in Chemistry in 1980), as graduates of the school to win Nobel Prizes.[3] As a youth, Karle enjoyed handball, ice skating, touch football and swimming in the nearby Atlantic Ocean.[1]
He started college at the age of 15 and received his bachelor's degree from the City College of New York in 1937, where he took additional courses in biology, chemistry and math in addition to the required curriculum there. He earned a master's degree from Harvard University in 1938, having majored in biology.[1]
As part of a plan to accumulate enough money to pay for further graduate studies, Karle took a position in Albany, New York with the New York State Department of Health in Albany, where he developed a method to measure dissolved fluorine levels, a technique that would become a standard for water fluoridation.[1]
He enrolled at the University of Michigan in 1940 and met his future wife, Isabella Lugoski, who was sitting at an adjoining desk during his first course in physical chemistry; The two married in 1942. Though he completed his studies in 1943, he was awarded his Ph.D. the following year.[1]
Starting in 1943, after completing graduate studies, Karle worked on the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago with his wife Dr. Isabella Karle, one of the youngest scientist and few women on the project. In 1944, they returned to the University of Michigan, where Karle worked on a project for the United States Naval Research Laboratory. In 1946, they moved to Washington, D.C. to work for the Naval Research Laboratory.[1]
Karle and Herbert A. Hauptman were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1985 for their work in using X-ray scattering techniques to directly determine the structure of crystals, a technique that is used to study the biological, chemical, metallurgical and physical characteristics. Through isolating the position of the atoms in a crystal, the molecular structure of the material being studied can be determined, allowing processes to be designed to duplicate the molecules being studied. This technique has played a major role in the development of new pharmaceutical products and other synthesized materials.[2]
Karle and his wife retired from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory on July 31, 2009, after a combined 127 years of service to the United States Government, with Karle joining the NRL in 1944 and his wife two years later. At the time of his departure from government service, Karle held the Chair of Science as Chief Scientist of the Laboratory for the Structure of Matter. Retirement ceremonies for the Karles were attended by United States Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, who presented the couple with the Department of the Navy Distinguished Civilian Service Award, the Navy's highest form of recognition to civilian employees.[4]
Karle has three daughters, all of whom work in science-related fields. Louise (born 1946) is a theoretical chemist. Jean (1950) is an organic chemist. Their youngest daughter, Madeleine (1955) is a museum specialist with expertise in the field of geology.[1]

What was just supposed to be a quick 2 day stop in NYC before catching my flight back to Israel turned out to be a fabulous fashion week party! I arrived at my longtime friend's Manhattan apartment to find him accompanied by two fashion week-ista's. What girl wouldn't be in heaven? Gay men, NYC, Fashion Week, partying, and shopping of course!
Meet the dynamic trio: Av, Liaam, and Cameron. Av is among being photographer- A true designer (Brand: Strategy, Marketing, Design) and has worked with some of the most famous companies on earth.
Liaam and Cameron may have been born men, but trust me- they can wear heels, mascara, and hairspray better than most of us women!
Bragging rights
Cameron and Liaam never have enough to brag about and find themselves witnessing a slip and fall at Monique Lhuillier, sitting behind Joan Rivers and LaLa Vasquez in second row at DvF, spying Danielle Staub at Venexianna, or snapping a pic with Kelly Osbourne. If that wasn't enough, Cameron also filled me in about his experience interning at People's Revolution PR firm under Kelly Cutrone.
Of course this duo are constantly getting snapped and questioned for fashion blogs like Spottin Style, Refinery 29, and Where did u Get That.
Liaam's beauty tips
Getting primped has never been more fun than with these two as we figured out what to wear and as Liaam taught me some killer beauty secrets I never would have discovered on my own– look this guy up for glamorizing your next fashion shoot!
Beauty tip 1: You can actually curl your hair with a flat iron! By taking a thin flat iron and straightening a small section in a inward motion towards my face and then flipping it from the root in the opposite direction- I can bring out that beach-y waved look from my flat locks.
Beauty tip 2: Eyelash fibers! Instead of falsies there is actually a product out there that looks like a tube of mascara but it's actually dusty particles of dry fibers. When you coat this over freshly applied mascara you will literally see your lashes grow in front of your eyes! Top with another coat of mascara. (Who knew?!)
Beauty tip 3: Root Booster Powder! Liaam introduced me to Got 2 Be root boosting powder which once sprinkled into your roots and working in with your fingertips, creates a cool sensation, and literally- you watch your hair plump up. Tousle your hair around and it will STAY! (I also learned that mousse is my new best friend)
I looked up to these towering beauties whilst running around the city with our own personal photographer (Av)- always hovering to capture the moment. I compiled the photos in a video below set to our declared "theme song" of our festivities- "Glitter" by Bastards of Funk & Sonic Union.
I always say everyone in New York thinks they are living in a movie, and for these two days I felt like I was too. Here's to New York City- where queer fairy god mothers can get you to the ball after all!
But seriously, what do you think of what I WORE? Tell me in the comments below. Should I of worn something different? could I of styled it better? Go on, set me STRAIGHT (giggle giggle).
Be sure to check out the Instagram style snaps of kind people I met at Fashion Week here.

A review of the new Gallup/USA TODAY poll on whether Americans agree with Obama about closing Guantanamo shows "devastating" opposition.
Brace up, America!
Byron York, the top political correspondent for the Washington Examiner, found that pretty much everyone, men and women, whites and nonwhites, educated types to dropouts, Republicans, Independents and even 42 percent of Democrats just hate the idea.
"When virtually the entire opposition party, plus 68 percent of independents, plus 42 percent of your own party opposes something you want to do, then you're in trouble," York says.
I've suggested sending the detainees to Crawford, but so far have gotten ZERO stated interest from the White House on this idea. So I know how Obama must feel as he reads these numbers, which is weak and horrible!
What's extra damning for Obama (and my Crawford proposal) is that 56 percent of Democrats oppose transporting Gitmo detainees to their state.
Republicans oppose bringing the detainees to their state by a margin of 94 percent, which in an opinion poll is rather amazing. Seventy-eight percent of independents oppose home-stating the brigands.
I do not understand the fear and loathing. What are we so afraid of? Where's the national backbone? We're strong enough to handle those goons.
Critics like to say it's dangerous and spooky. But I think there is a deeper fear motivating this national revulsion at the thought of brining those creeps here.
The way we talk about it, it's like our national sanctity is at stake.
We almost always say in some form or another: "Critics don't want to bring Gitmo detainees to U.S. soil."
(To prove it, read the lead paragraph of the USA TODAY article.)
What's with the soil angle?
When you read reports about importing computers or cars – or even gardening tools, for that matter – you don't read: "imported to U.S. soil."
It's as if those evil Gitmo twerps are going to pollute our precious bodily fluids, get creepy al-qaeda cooties all over us and fill our deepest dreams with filthy longings.
I still say send them to Crawford.
We can handle it.

This is my favorite so far of the Rat Pack mysteries by Robert Randisi. His fiction is based on some truths, such as the myth of Dino's drinking, which was mostly part of his act. I enjoy the atmosphere of old Las Vegas where Eddie can run into anybody----like George Raft and other legends of Hollywood and the underworld. Fun books. I recommend all of them.

Most of them don`t stay around too long. Most just stay long enough to build momentum and revitalize hope for a successful program sometime in the future.
All of them have good intentions, are ambitious and want nothing more than to earn respect for their program.
High school head football coaches seem to come and go like the wind. The average stay at any given school is fewer than four years.
But there are those coaches, although few and far between, who seem to stay around forever. They enjoy ruling over the dynasties they have been building.
Each year Broward County gets its share of new head coaches. There are seven new head coaches this year: Scott Quillen of Lauderdale Lakes` Boyd Anderson, Don Marino of Fort Lauderdale`s Cardinal Gibbons, Robert Leibowitz of Hallandale, John-Mark Carter of Plantation, Mike Brown of South Broward, Willie Dodaro of Nova and Brian Smith of Western. All except Smith were assistant coaches in Broward last year.
``I`m happy to be down here working,`` said Smith, who came to Western after two years as assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at Altamonte Springs` Lake Brantley High School. ``I`ve wanted to coach in South Florida for years and I finally got my chance.``
Brian Van Gorder of Plantation`s American Heritage tops the list of second- year head coaches. Also among that group are Cooper City High`s Doug Miller; Coral Springs` Terry Dunn, Hollywood McArthur`s Roger Mastrantonio, Fort Lauderdale Pine Crest`s Dennis Byers and Deerfield Beach`s Bob Bailey.
Other coaches with four or fewer years` tenure at their present schools include Hollywood Chaminade`s Jim Palla, Holywood Christian`s Allen Brown and Sunrise Piper High`s Frank Springer.
``I`ve been in the coaching profession for more than 25 years now,`` said Springer. ``I enjoy coaching here. The kids are great and the administration backs us 100 percent.``

Buyer beware: don't bother
Barry Chung
Jarrod (Eric Balfour) and his girlfriend Elaine (Scottie Thompson) head to Los Angeles to celebrate the birthday of Jarrod's best friend Terry (Donald Faison). The morning after the party, the group is awakened by streaks of blue light, which draw people towards them. Yes, the aliens have landed.
The film doesn't follow a linear timeline. It starts just as the aliens begin to arrive. Then it jumps back 15 hours, where you get a little back-story about Jarrod. But this plot "structure" is inane, the digression lasts too long and the suspense of the alien invasion quickly fades.
To attain some level of unpredictability, a lot of third-rate thrillers these days feel the need to have a semi-important character come to an untimely demise. Skyline is no different. The death may be unexpected, but it doesn't hit us on an emotional level - we were never drawn to the character to begin with. Moreover, the demise can even be seen as retribution.
Skyline certainly has one of the most bizarre endings of any film ever created. The entire final scene has no dialogue and involves a "behind-the-lines" look at the alien world. Aside from being gooey and gross, it'll leave a real slimy taste in your mouth. Avoid this DVD for the sake of your belly and your time.

I extended my android application with a preferences screen now, which is quite easy to do.
- A tutorial for creating a Preferences Activity got me started – unfortunaltely the xml preferences definition it uses is incorrect. The tags are names of Classes which have to be capitalized.
- The open the preferences activity I added a Option Menu.
- I wanted to add some kind of progress indicator. I ended up using the ProgressDialog and the AsyncTask to run the downloading and xml parsing in the background. To fix issues with device rotation I might have a look at the BetterAsyncTask in the Droid-FU library later.
- I also ran into DateFormat and Date issues with the UTC formated Date in the XML file. I Thought about using joda-time at least twice but then stuck to the JDK implementation for smaller app size. The fact that android brings it's own class named DateFormat which just provides a localized JDK-DateFormat object doesn't help either.

With the fate of New York Gov. David A. Paterson's political career in the balance, his top aide is convening an emergency meeting of the administration's entire staff Friday afternoon, according to a senior administration aide.
Larry Schwartz, the governor's chief of staff, alerted the staff about the 2:30 p.m. EST meeting by email Thursday, but did not specify what would be discussed.
The Democratic governor has been battling intense pressure to resign from office amid allegations he and state troopers sought to influence witness testimony in a domestic-violence dispute involving one of his closest aides, David Johnson.
The scandal, which is under investigation by New York Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo, has already prompted the resignation of two high-level officials, including the superintendent of the state police, Harry Corbitt.
Paterson, 55, declared his innocence, but his ethics woes have only widened.
On Wednesday, a state commission accused the governor of falsely testifying under oath that he intended to pay for several World Series tickets he received for free last fall. The commission referred the case for criminal prosecution.

Hair loss
I just made this account reading what all of you have to say about diabetes. I'm so convinced that im the only one going through losing my hair and its devastating. I'm a teenage girl with really thin hair and its hard to deal with at any age but more so this one. Ive been diabetic for 12 years and i always had thick hair growing up until back in 2011 I wasnt managing my blood sugar properly and thats when I noticed my hair falling out. Its almost been 3 years since then and ive brought my a1c down whole points since april. Im trying so hard to get my hair back by managing my sugars but im not seeing results and its so discouraging. It sounds so petty but this effects me and the way i look at myself so much, in a very negative way. Does anyone have suggestions or any type of help?
5 replies
When my daughter was diagnosed,jan. 2012, she was in dka. Shortly after leaving the hospital I noticed when I combed her hair it fell out for about 90 days after. Now her hair is back full and thick but I think it's because her sugars are mostly in good control. When she runs high it seems to start to thin again.
I am so glad I found this discussion. I have been noticing lately that I am combing out large clumps of hair and it is starting to scare me. I thought about calling my endocronologist but haven't yet. It's not too thin yet but I am worried that soon itll look terrible.
Same here, my hair always falls out so much when I comb it. When I was little it was so thick now it's just thin and brittle :( I was diagnosed 4 months ago with type 2. But my hair started to thin out about 5 years ago…could it be the diabetes ??
Hi, My hair all fell out but taking 2 vitamin D all year long I am happy to say mu hair is back I do have a couple spots that are thin but I really think the vitamins helped.
I've noticed my hair falling out more and more. I thought it was just me. Is it really connected to diabetes ? That's really interesting. My hair is getting super thin now too and it's awful.

The removal of all forms of the subjection of women is the purpose to which the National Woman's Party is dedicated. Its present campaign to remove the discriminations against women in the laws of the United States is the beginning of its determined effort to secure the freedom of women, an integral part of the struggle for human liberty for which women are first of all responsible. Its interest lies in the final release of woman from the class of a dependent, subservient being to which early civilization committed her.
The laws of various States at present hold her in that class. They deny her a control of her children equal to the father's; they deny her, if married, the right to her own earnings; they punish her for offenses for which men go unpunished; they exclude her from public office and from public institutions to the support of which her taxes contribute. These laws are not the creation of this age, but the fact that they are still tolerated on our statute books and that in some States their removal is vigorously resisted shows the hold of old traditions-upon us. Since the passage of the Suffrage Amendment the incongruity of these laws, dating back many centuries, has become more than ever marked.
In all of our States butone the fundamental law is the English common law, modified by the civil law where the influence of France and Spain was felt. Under the English common a married woman was subjeci to the will of her husband and without legal identity; the husband was the sole legal head of the house; the father was the guardian of the minor child and had the control of its education and the benefitof its labor. Mother as such was "entitled to no power but only to reverence and respect."
Haphazard modifications of this old law by unrelated statutes have created the present anomalous legal position of women in which there is no uniformity. As a matter of fact there are more than fifty points at which the laws of one State or another at present discriminate against women. The National Woman's Party is now making the first complete digest which has ever been made of all these laws in every State — except one, Wisconsin, where the Woman's Party Equal Rights Bill, with modifications to meet local conditions, has already been passed, and men and women made equal before the law.
Because the common law said that the husband was head of the house, husbands may still in at least forty-five of our States decide where their wives must live and vote. At the last election a woman living in Boston with her husband, wrote to the Woman's Party protesting against the fact that though she wished to play a part in the public affairs of Massachusetts, where she spent her entire time, the only place where she could vote was Maine, since her husband for business reasons maintained his voting residence in Maine.

- Not to be confused with A Family Divided.
A Family Affair is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls Online. The Nurin family needs help. They awoke this morning to find their farm burning, overrun by dremora, and their father, William Nurin, is missing. The Vestige volunteered to help.
Quick walkthroughEdit
- Talk to Rosalie Nurin
- Talk to Ganise
- Investigate the Barn
- Read Tattered Book
- Meet Ganise at Her House
- Find the House Key
- Talk to Ganise in the House
- Rescue William Nurin
- Talk to Ganise
- Complete the quest
Outside Nurin Farm an Orsimer named Lugharz is distraught. She asks for help as the Nurin Farm has been burned down and Mister Nurin has disappeared. When they woke up this morning, the farm was on fire. She tried to put it out, but most of the farm was destroyed, and then they realized that Mister Nurin was missing. Mister Nurin's wife says she is calling of the search, she is giving up. Please go and offer to help and don't tell her they spoke as she has been dismissed by the wife...
Head up to the burned farm to find Mrs. Nurin. She is standing outside one of the buildings, crying a lot. Fire, scamps and William disappears she says and now strangers are on the property. The farmhands gave up, maybe it's time to give up for her. Offer to help but Rosalie says it's too late. She wants the Vestige to find her daughter Ganise and tell her William must have perished in the fire.
Find Ganise in the westernmost house, fight the scamps and clannfears on the way. Ganise is distraught, there has to be some sign of what happened to her father. Let her know her mother says it's time to give up. But Ganise can't believe her mother can say this. How can she give up? She really believes her father is alive. They haven't even checked all the buildings yet, in fact she has been putting off the northern barn as it creeps her out. Could the Vestige have a look in there? Tell her to meet up afterwards in their house.
Head off to the northern barn and deal with the clannfears outside. It looks like a ritual has been performed recently inside. Maybe the tattered book have some clue of the ritual's purpose. It describes an initiation ritual for Supernal Dreamers. Ganise will want to know about this, so go to the Nurin house on the eastern side of the farm.
The door is locked to the house so knock hard on it. Ganise asks if it's mother but tell her they're back from the barn. She asks for help as a creepy guy was here, then her mother tied her up and locked the door and left. Please get me out she says, I think mother wrapped the key up in a piece of bacon and fed it to one of those scamps.
A gruesome task but they have to kill scamps until the key is found. Then go back to the house and talk to Ganise. She says some creepy guy named Sentulus was here with mother. She said it was for her own good to tie her up, then something about a dream and her dad. She doesn't understand, who was that man and why did mother tie her up? Explain to her that her mother is joining a cult. Ganise is shocked, a cult? Oh no, her dad, mother said something about him and a sacrifice he had to make... they were going up the hill to the west. Please, go after them. Agree to help, then untie Ganise so she'll be free to meet outside afterwards.
Head west of the farm to find the offering site where the cultists are holding William, and rescue him before it's too late. Kill the cultists watching him, then untie him. He'll run back to the farm, talking about Ganise. Go back after him and talk to Ganise. She is grateful for saving her father and thinks the Vestige are a hero. She feels like she should be sad because of her mother but she can't help feeling happy her father is safe. We'll rebuild the farm and make a statue in their honor she says.

I haven't read much about WWII in Russia, so this sounds like an interesting read!ReplyDeleteReplies
Meradeth- It is! :) ~LDelete
Though there seems to be quite a lot of this kind of historical fiction for this age range set either in the UK, Germany or even Poland I cannot think of one that is set in Russia.ReplyDeleteReplies
Petty- I agree with you that I have never read another book that took place in Russia during WWII. ~LDelete
Good review. Sounds like a very interesting book I will check out for Maggie. She was very interested in the Anne Frank story and recently visited the Holocaust Museum in D.C. and it did make an impression on her.ReplyDelete
I also love stories of that era. I was a child during WWII living in Texas in a sulfur company town surrounded by barbed wire and guards who stood in high towers with machine guns pointing down at us in cars as we checked in. Sulfur was a much needed ingredient of the war to make bombs and bullets and our town was very secured because of that. We had air raid drills regularly. War is no fun for children at all...or anyone else.
I'm glad authors still write of the horrors of WWII so we never forget we don't want to go there again...ever!Replies
Wow! Air raid drills sound scary and so do the guards. War times are not happy times that is for sure.Delete
I agree with you that it is important for authors to write about WWII so we don't ever forget the brave people who fought for their lives and the difficult times everyone went through.
I hope Maggie enjoys this one. I think she will love it! :) ~L
This sounds like a really interesting read! Great review.ReplyDelete
Gina- It is an interesting read. Glad you enjoyed the review. :) ~LDelete
Great review! Thanks for posting! Looks interesting.ReplyDelete

No, I haven't, but animal stories always made me bawl as a kid.ReplyDeleteReplies
M.Pax- Animal stories make me bawl, too! This is a great book and a wonderful reminder to be kind to animals. :) ~LDelete
I love German shepherds! I have two. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Kelly- I never knew! How awesome that you have two German shepherds. :) ~LDelete
Sounds like a great book, WW II history ~ check, kids being heroes ~ check, dogs ~ check! Thanks so much for sharing it sounds like it's right up my alley and thanks for directing me to another great blog. Hope all is well.ReplyDelete
Paul R. HewlettReplies
Paul- It is a great book! I think this is a book that you will really enjoy. :) ~LDelete
It sounds like a wonderful story! What a great way to bring history alive for kids. The cover's a real grabber too.ReplyDeleteReplies
Cate- It is! This book does bring history to life and it is a great way to learn about the past. :) ~LDelete
As opposed to the book featured on my blog, you can't get more sympathetic than a kid doing his best to save animals treated cruelly. I'm behind that idea all the way! :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
Lexa- This is a great book with an important message (or should I say important messages). :) ~LDelete
This book sounds so special...I know I would cry my yes out while I read it!ReplyDeleteReplies
Patty- It is a special book and I look forward to reading the next one. :) ~LDelete
Yes is eyes!ReplyDelete
What a coincidence, I've just finished reading an MG novel about children surviving WWII, too. Haven't read this series but I'm definitely interested because I haven't read any children's war fiction that's from the Russian side. Alex has great recommendations!ReplyDeleteReplies
Claudine- Alex does have great recommendations! This was a wonderful book and I look forward to the next one. :) I hope the MG book you read about WWII was good! ~LDelete
This sounds like a good story kids can get into while inadvertently learning some history :PReplyDelete
That author is sly (;
I think I've read only one WWII book. It's a really tough subject for me to get into. I'm not very good at reading the mistakes people made in the past especially those that caused human suffering...Replies
Adriana- It is! A great way to get involved in a story and learn at the same time. :) When I read books about WWII I always want to cry, so I can see why you have a tough time with them. ~ LDelete
Wow, I'd like to read this book myself.ReplyDeleteReplies
Donna- It is a great book! :) I hope you get to read it soon. ~LDelete

News for the Hospitality Executive
Who Book $8 Billion in Hotel Revenue
Tools by TravelCLICK and DoubleClick/Google enable dynamic rate update and measure the true
reach of online ads targeted to travel agents
CHICAGO (July 23, 2009) – TravelCLICK, the leading provider of ecommerce solutions for hotels, today announced a new technology to improve the quality of promotional advertising on select Global Distribution Systems (GDS)—coupled with a new methodology for measuring advertising reach to a travel agent audience that yielded over $8 billion in hotel bookings in 2008. While the GDS has long been considered a cost-effective way to deliver targeted messages to travel agents at the point of sale, the tasks of ensuring best available rate (BAR) display in those ads and measuring advertising reach have been a challenge. Now advertisers have a new level of sophisticated functionality and transparency for GDS ad placement that is currently unrivaled elsewhere online.
Through a year-long collaboration using DoubleClick/Google ad serving technology, TravelCLICK and DoubleClick/Google have identified and leveraged unique predictive characteristics within both the ad serving and travel agent hotel shopping environments. The result of the research and corresponding development is two significant enhancements for advertising on the GDS.
The first enhancement, Dynamic Rate Update, instantaneously inserts a hotel's BAR—specific to actual check-in date—into the ad copy displayed to the audience. By dynamically updating BAR data, it is much more likely that the advertised rate will be available when the audience responds to the advertisement, increasing the likelihood of a booking.
"Fueled by the influence of increasingly sophisticated online advertising options, the industry is demanding targeted marketing strategies that are more relevant and effective," said John Hach, Vice President of Media for TravelCLICK. "Our research showed a consistent lack of reliability in advertised rates—primarily due to the dynamic nature of pricing and purchasing within the GDS marketplace. Through our partnership with DoubleClick/Google, hotels can now leverage a new level of technology to improve ad integrity and relevance. This is truly a dynamic solution designed for a dynamic environment."
Second, a next-generation methodology isolates and identifies advertising-enabled travel agencies and measures the hotel booking revenue that they produce in participating GDS. While the actual advertising reach has not changed, this new methodology quantifies the hotel revenue an advertiser can attempt to influence within the channel. For full year 2008, the total hotel booking revenue delivered to the hotel industry by these advertising-enabled travel agencies exceeded $8 billion.
"Our mission is to empower customers with advertising solutions that deliver maximum flexibility and a robust feature set," said Jonathan Bellack, Group Product Manager of Publisher Advertising Platforms at Google. "We are pleased that TravelCLICK was able to use the DoubleClick platform to enhance the relevance, transparency, and measurement of advertising within the GDS."
The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) has been instrumental in developing TravelCLICK's Dynamic Rate Update and advertising-enabled hotel booking methodology. In today's highly competitive marketplace, it is imperative that hoteliers provide best available rates to travel agents for bookings made on the GDS. "TravelCLICK's development of Dynamic Rate Update demonstrates their commitment to the ongoing important and influential role travel agents provide within the hotel selection process," said William Maloney, Certified Travel Counselor, and Chief Executive Officer of ASTA.

Brown calls on Warren to release law school applications
Mass. Dems call on Brown to list NYC fundraising group
Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown and Massachusetts Democrats are trading jabs over Brown's fundraising efforts in New York City and whether Democratic rival Elizabeth Warren should release law school applications and personnel files from her teaching jobs.
The political jousting came as Brown joined other Republican senators Tuesday to derail a Democratic bill aimed at keeping interest rates on federal college loans from doubling July 1.
Brown said he supports extending the lower rates but doesn't agree with how Democrats would pay for the measure.
Massachusetts Democrats said Brown was standing with the national Republican Party.
Brown also said Tuesday that serious questions have been raised about Warren's claims to Native American ancestry, while Democrats said Brown should disclose members of a committee hosting a New York City fundraising event for him Saturday.
A list of out-of-state fundraising events for Brown includes one listed as an "Evening Reception with New York Finance Committee" in New York City.
Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman John Walsh said Brown is refusing to "come clean" about who is on the committee.
A campaign spokesman for Brown said all of his fundraising information is disclosed as required by the Federal Election Commission.
Brown has received more than $620,000 in itemized donations from New York this election cycle including donations from the financial services and health care sectors.
The Massachusetts Republican has also collected about five times as much as Warren from political action committees.

Some bones found in a tomb at Dijon may belong to him. He has never reclaimed them, but when you reach Sainthood there is a tendency to relinquish such relics for souvenirs to be stored in reliqueries.
For a long time the bones were reverenced by devout locals, but a certain Bishop, doubting their authenticity, started demolition work.
God soon put a stop to that with a rather convincing vision and so the bishop backed down.

|Subject: Intro

|Number: 44 of 381
Hi -- and thanks for the idea of this board!
We're in the process of retiring early, at 50. We've been living overseas (Saudi Arabia) for a while, and have been living on a boat in the Chesapeake Bay during our twice a year 4-6 week vacations back to the USA. We've been selling off things we can't take back with us, and getting ready for the packers to come in 2 weeks, to take what's left. In less than 90 days, we will be moving back to live on the boat full time for the next few years.
Our plans are really detailed: head south when it gets cold, head north when it gets hot, stop when we think there's something interesting to see or do, and move on when we're bored!
Actually, the plans are slightly more detailed than that -- but only slightly. We plan to winter in the Florida Keys at the end of 2001, see the New England coast, perhaps to Nova Scotia, at the height of the summer of 2002, then winter over in the Caribbean the following winter. A Great Lakes and Mississippi River trip might follow, with a Gulf Coast tour after that.
For what it's worth, Passagemaker magazine (which focuses on the general type of boat and boating we are involved with) surveyed couples who were living on their boats and cruising full time. Average yearly costs, including fuel, food, maintenance, and so forth (but not loan payments) was under $25,000. So part of our ER strategy is to spend a few years letting the portfolio grow while we're not taking so much out, so that if and when we grow up and settle down, we can do so with a greater spending budget.
Pictures of Dory (the boat's name) are at http://www.sholar.org/dory/
PS: Saw Jimmy when he was in Norfolk last summer -- lots of fun!

Here we are again with another Tuesday Trailer Roundup – this time with 16 new trailers! Let's get into it!
The Greatest Showman
Not many trailers hit on all cylinders but this trailer hit me hard – gave me goosebumps, made me smile, and made me a bit misty-eyed. This film looks spectacular and this trailer is incredible. The music, the bit of exposition at the beginning, the music, the montage of performers, the music, the end scene with Efron and Jackman, and did I mention the music? From the spectacle shown, the story being told, and the cast involved, this looks like it could be the smash hit of December (2nd only to Star Wars)!
Logan Lucky (Trailer 2)
I was on board for this film from the first trailer and this one just makes me even more excited. I recently rewatched the Ocean's Eleven trilogy and I am ecstatic that Steven Soderbergh is directing yet another heist film. I love the feel that this movie has and the type of humor it brings to the table. Daniel Craig looks to be having a blast and the comedic pair of Channing Tatum and Adam Driver? Hell. Yes.
A Bad Mom's Christmas
Bad Moms is one of the better comedies to come out in recent years and I was on board for a sequel even though comedy sequels rarely live up to their predecessors. With that being said, A Bad Mom's Christmas looks to break that trend cause this looks damn funny. Bringing in the Grandmas is a smart choice, similar to the Daddy's Home sequel bringing in the grandparents, but the real stand out, sheer brilliance here is setting the movie at Christmas. Doing that gives the writers so many more things to play with and opens up possible story routes they can take. I think it will also help boost this movies box office take by having an R-Rated comedy out at Christmas to compete with more family friendly fare and the bigger blockbusters.
Everything, Everything
I have to be honest, this trailer doesn't do anything for me. I feel like I've seen this story before and seen it done better. The production quality also feels like a Disney Channel original. Sorry guys, I'm not feeling this one.
Ingrid Goes West
This looks like the creepiest comedy I've seen in a while. I feel in love with Aubrey Place during while binge-watching Parks and Recreation but I felt she was an absolute stand out in FX's Legion (you should watch it if you haven't – Check out my review here). Elizabeth Olsen looks get in this as well, I'm excited to see her getting roles outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Overall, this looks like a good one.
My Little Pony
*Sigh* I have the sinking feeling that I will end up seeing this one in theaters because I have a 3, almost 4, year old daughter that is all about the My Little Ponies right now. Seriously, she has a dozen or more of the toys and my wife and I can't keep track of their names. We're at the point where we made a cheat sheet describing their colors and their names. On the plus side this movie looks like it might actually be kind of fun (said the parent) or at least fun for my daughter which will make it fun for me and the wife.
Oh man, this looks pretty good. In a post Amazing Spider-Man world, Andrew Garfield looks to be campaigning hard for some mantle pieces from the Academy. Claire Foy also looks like she's going to bring an solid, if not amazing performance, to the film; I'm unfortunately unfamiliar with her as an actor so I don't have anything to compare this to. What I'm really excited about here is seeing the directorial debut of Andy Serkis. Serkis is all over Hollywood right now, from leading the resurgent Planet of the Apes franchise, to joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to playing Supreme Leader Snoke in Star Wars. Many have called for Serkis to win an Oscar for his work as Ceaser in the aforementioned Apes movies (myself included), but maybe, just maybe, he'll win an Oscar for direction first.
This looks like it could be ok…. It's really hard to tell. I don't recognize anyone in the trailer and the production quality looks to be a bit subpar for a theater release. The story could be what saves this movie though. It seems like someone invented a teleportation device and now everyone wants it for themselves which could make for a good sci-fi action adventure, if it's done right.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
I love, love, love this trailer and I can't wait to see this movie. Whenever an old property is brought back for either a sequel or a reboot or a re-quel, I feel like there has to be a damn good reason for doing it and it looks like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has cracked that code. Making the game a video game, where the players are sucked into the world of Jumanji versus the game spilling out into reality is brilliant or at least I think it is. And having our A-list cast be avatars controlled by teenagers and having those teenage personalities come through actors like Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, and Kevin Hart looks like it will be amazing.
Death Note
I used to be a fan of anime, like 10-12 years ago back in high school, so the original Death Note series passed me by and thus, I have no real stake in the conversation of how the adaptation compares to the original or if this adaptation should have even been made. In general, anime to western made live action adaptations haven't been received well (Dragon Ball: Evolution and Ghost in the Shell anyone?). However, since this is on Netflix, which I already pay for, the most I will lose by watching this is an hour and forty minutes, I think I'll give it a shot, if for no other reason that to write a review on it and check out Willem DaFoe's performance.
Cult of Chucky
If I'm being honest, the only reason I watched this trailer is because of this article series so you're welcome. If you haven't already watched this trailer, you can skip it. I've only ever seen the first two Child's Play movies and I honestly have zero desire to watch through all of them to "get caught up". This movie is straight to Blu-ray/VOD so I have the feeling only hardcore horror fans will go out of their way to watch it. Moving on….
Armed Response
Well this looks like good ole fashioned Netflix fodder. While this one looks like it might have some fun action, Wesley Snipes and Anne Heche are both well out of the Hollywood spotlight and this reeks of "paycheck film". I won't be going out of my way to see this one but if it pops on my Netflix and I am appropriately drunk, I might give it a watch.
I usually don't like horror movies. At all. However, if one comes along that is getting good enough reviews or it looks like the concept is interesting enough for me to swallow my fear and go see it, then I will. Polaroid is on the edge of that interest over fear line for me. The concept looks cool but I don't know if the execution is good enough for me to stomach checking this one out.
Atomic Blonde (Trailer 3)
I've been on board for this movie for a while and this just keeps me excited for it. We get a lot of the same scenes we've already seen before be we also get a better look at James McAvoy's character and it seems like he's got a bigger role than I previously thought. We also see Charlize Theron kicking even more ass than before. This movie has my money.
The Last Face
This is a hard trailer to watch and it looks like it will be an even harder movie to watch. Charlize Theron (showing some range as an actor compared to Atomic Blonde) and Javier Bardem look to be on their A-game here, bringing some very human and visceral drama to war torn areas as doctors helping refugees. If this film is as good as the trailer suggests it will be, look for Theron, Bardem, and director Sean Penn to get plenty of buzz come awards season.
Borg vs. Mcenroe
Well between this one and Battle of the Sexes, tennis movies seem to be en vogue right now. Although while Battle of the Sexes uses tennis to frame the struggle for women's equality, Borg vs. Mcenroe seems to be using tennis to frame struggle between the classes. The cast looks solid as do the performances. This one might be worth checking out.
