|Requirements revision:
|Latest pamphlet revision:
|Architecture is not just the special buildings like cathedrals, museums, or sports stadiums we read about or see on television; it is as normal as the homes, places of worship, schools, and shopping malls where we live, worship, work, learn, and play every day. However, architecture is more than just common shelter; building has always satisfied the human need to create something of meaning. Even the simplest form of architecture is a work of art that requires thought and planning.
The Architecture merit badge was one of the original 57 merit badges issued by the Boy Scouts of America in 1911.

The Lyons Recorder
Last week started a new feature in the Lyons Recorder called iamlyonscolorado. It will be comprised of photos (and a few words) of people that Lyons resident Kenneth Wajda has captured during his daily travels around town. Wajda is an independent filmmaker who has made several short films in and around Lyons. Prior to moving to Colorado in 2001 he worked as a staff photographer for a daily newspaper, The Trenton Times, in New Jersey for thirteen years. Since then, in addition to making films, he has worked as a freelance photographer and still shoots editorial assignments, commercial jobs, portraiture, (family, engagement, senior, etc.) and teaches nature and street photography.
Wajda explains how the idea of iamlyonscolorado came about, "I enjoy shooting street photography, which I call "life" photography, because it is both great exercise and it's like treasure hunting. It is quite fascinating how many moments cross your

It's a long way from Lyons to anywhere, "as the crow flies." Residents of Lyons have known that for some time; many of them live here for just that reason. But now it's official.

After a while of being in it constantly, you learn to adjust to being uncertain. You get better about taking blind guesses, on choosing with little to no input, and always being ready to adjust and adapt. On the minus side, you're a lot more cautious and careful about new things, ready to take the safe and tried over the new, and holding back at times when going forward is an option
Xan's been going to ARC camp the past two weeks, and as usual I've been volunteering up there as well. But we've missed the last couple of days. He woke up at 3:30 one morning, coughing and sneezing and running a fever, so that call was pretty easy. He was off and on over the weekend, having his usual vacuum like appetite and being active, but sneezing and being cranky. No fever, but a tendency to huddle up on the couch now and again, which is almost always a sign of his not feeling good. Seeming happy one minute, then launching into a fit for some unclear reason the next.
Then this morning, he was acting off and said 'no camp'. Still coughing and sneezing a bit too. As I type this, he's huddled on the couch under his Thomas blanket and kinda talking to himself while one of his shows plays. But give it a few hours and he may be tearing through the house like the Energizer bunny on an overdose of Red Bull.
Based on what I knew, what I thought could happen, and past experiences, I kept him home today. Right call? Wrong call?
I could have sent him in. He may have been fine, overcome a rough start and had a great time. I may have done that if he hadn't been sick last week and been off and on over the weekend. Then again, there was no clear and obvious sign he was sick - no more fever, no throwing up, nothing like that. So I elected to be safe.
I may have a tendency to be too safe at times. I've written about how his teacher pushed me to let him go on a field trip by himself, which I finally did. Maybe volunteering at camp is also a bit much - it lets me be there if he needs me, but doesn't let him have a chance to work things through himself. Perhaps I'm trading being there for him for his independence.
Who knows?
Every parent out there worthy of the name has wished there was an instruction book for their child that could help them out, giving a 'If-A-Then-B' step by step guide to every situation out there. Then again, a guide like that would only work for a particularly dull and unexciting robot. Guesswork may cause ulcers, but it's also a sign your kid is their own unique, difficult and growing person.
So we shall see if my guess was a good one or not. As always.

Every family has good days and bad days in life. Some of them will be known by a kind of memory jogger - that day we saw the deer, that night when the car died, that great dinner we had that one time and (for those of you with newborns or, like us, kids who fight sleep and cats who wake early) that night we got to sleep seven hours straight. A few of them that stand out more don't need any details - when we met, when your child was born.
Only a few need just one word to describe and remember.
Given last Sunday, Father's Day, was kind of a mess - literally AND figuratively - I kind of got a redo. So Saturday, we went up to Jacksonville to visit two of our favorite places -
Wake and Bake Pizza
Recollected Books
. Eat some pizza, buy some books, have a time.
We decided to eat first, since Xan's always hungry. When we went in, I started to wonder if things were going to get interesting. They had a band playing on the stage in the back, and they were tuning up and playing around, and Xan immediately covered his ears. Loud noises, high noises, odd echoes and deep noises can bug him, so I was a little nervous.
Tracy and I talked and decided to go on and try to eat, guessing if things really began to bother him we could go outside and finish. Xan still had his fingers in his ears, so I made sure to tell one of the guys in the band - the keyboardist and lead singer - to please not take it personal, explained he was autistic and the loud noise was bothering him. It wasn't a comment on their music, which was very good.
The guy was super cool about it, said it was no problem. Soon after, they stopped playing. It took me a while to connect the dots, but when I did (I would be the first to admit I'm not a fast thinker...actually, I'd be the fortieth or so.) (ps - that line comes from Terry Pratchett, an author you really should be reading) I went up to the stage. The lead singer and the drummer were goofing around very quietly and I asked if they had stopped because of Xan. They said yes, they were just being considerate.
I thanked them then, and I thank them now. I hope somewhere they all have something very nice coming to them for this good deed.
I also told them to go ahead and play. Xan has to get used to this kind of stuff. The whole world won't be as kind as this band was, and sometimes he's just gonna have to accept and adjust. They got back on stage and started to play some of their songs.
Xander would take his hands down, bob his head a bit, put them back in his ears. He began to laugh. He began to LOUDLY laugh, smile, giggle, wave his hands in that 'I'm excited' flap of his, and emit peals of his happy cry: 'Deeeeeeeee!'
We got done eating and were getting ready to leave. Xan got up, ran to the stage and began jumping and laughing and twirling and spinning and having one of best times I can remember him having. The owner of the store knows us - we're probably not one of her regulars, being kind of far away, but Xan makes an impression and she remembered us - and let him do all that. I stayed close to the stage in case he decided to try and jump on there with them - I could see that - and watched him. The singer, the one I had talked to, asked his name from the stage, gave him a shout-out.
They played three or songs, all excellent, and the singer even gave us a warning when he was going to hit some high notes in case it bothered Xan. It didn't.
I asked the owner for their name. Turns out it was members of two or three bands getting together for a kind of jam session. From what I heard, they could do this a lot more.
I bought them all some cookies (which are excellent) as a very tiny payment for one of the best days I can remember. Xan keened and sang in his own way to himself the rest of the day.
We will always remember this day as Music Day.

There seems to be a cosmic rule for us.
If it's supposed to be a Big Day, things will go wrong.
Birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Thanksgiving...
Father's Day.
I was just going to take it easy, minimize the risk. Plus, heck, I'm old and tired and it's been a LONG month. So we were staying in, I was lazing around, eating leftover Mata's pizza and watching soccer.
And then...
Parents get specialized antennae as their kids grow up. We're able to tell the difference between a cry you can let go and a cry that needs immediate attention. One loud clunk we can just yell 'Stop whatever you're doing and pick it up!' and another kind we're up and breaking the 40 yard dash record to see what happened. And certain other noises really make jump and bolt.
Like a toilet flushing a lot and the sound of running water.
It's a really bad sign as you dash for the bathroom when you're HOPING that means only the sink is flooding.
Not so much.
It was a WATERFALL. A splashing, running flood. The floor was about half an inch deep, the water ran down the vent to make a nice sized puddle downstairs, books were drenched and clothes were floating and it was not pretty.
Another cosmic rule, not just for us: When the toilet overflows, it won't be just liquid. I'm being genteel here.
A small bathroom took about three hours to clean up, with sopping up the water and wringing it out, throwing away books and clothes, washing what could be spared, plunging the toilet into usability again and several strong Lysol moppings followed by hot water cleaning, scrubbing every surface we could reach.
It wasn't the worst thing ever, but it sure wasn't anywhere near my first choice of how to spend a day, let alone one supposedly set aside for me.
But it was par for the course of the summer to date.
Xan had been having several bad days. He wouldn't obey me at all. I would say don't do A, he did A. I would say do X, he wouldn't do X. Constantly. There was yelling, there was screaming, there were multiple trips to his room for punishment and for me to get a chance to breathe and clean up the most recent mess that he made and wouldn't clean up.
It got to the point where I was getting afraid he was regressing somehow, losing all the advantages he had, I had bad thoughts of this being the new normal, a constant fight over and over, to where he was helpless and unsuitable for anything but the simplest tasks.
It was not happy thoughts. And I grew pretty depressed, keeping quiet and having no fun at all, inside or outside, drained of energy and emotion. Sleep - never a steady thing - got even more broken and less restful. My workout schedule - which had been five days of a Wii workout (MyFitness Coach), jogging every other day, Tae Kwon Do twice a week and forms every day (and I STILL have a belly!), dwindled to nothing as I found myself chugging Diet Coke and sugary snacks hourly for energy to make it through the day. I even skipped Tae Kwon Do, realizing I was so drained and tired and listless that either I would get hurt or hurt someone else through a combination of exhausted and careless. As you can see, I've skipped a couple of weeks of blogging, not having any spare energy to type in thoughts and, honestly, no wish to express what was going on with me.
As flooded as that bathroom had been, I was flooded with everything that was going on, to the same effect. And as is my wont, I kinda hated myself for feeling so overwhelmed, since many families take days like those and consider them peaceful holidays. That didn't help.
Things have improved. Xan's doing good in summer school, even starting to write a bit more. His home attitude has gotten better and he's gotten back to doing what I tell - mostly - and not doing what I forbid - mostly. After a time of constantly not, mostly so is magnitudes better. I was able to talk to Tracy about how I was feeling (one word - DOWN) and that helped a lot. Getting back into exercise slowly. letting my body readjust. Went back to TKD, was able to hit and be hit and help teach and sweat out some of the stress.
One thing to keep in mind - no matter how big the mess, it does get clean eventually.
Here's hoping you are having a good summer.

I've always loved to read. I taught myself to read when I was two and never stopped. Mom and dad saw my love for it and pretty much cut me loose, to where I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy when I was, I think, four and was buying Stephen King books when I was 10 or so. I very much remember an incident in 3rd grade when I tried to buy 1984 from Scholastic Reader (they passed out the 8th grade forms to us by accident) and the teacher called my parents to inform them they had made a mistake letting me order it. Her bad luck had dad answering the phone.
For anyone who knows my dad, I give you a few minutes to imagine and enjoy his reaction to the call. It was...multi-syllabic, shall we say.
This addiction, one of my few, has never stopped. We have about close to six thousand books and I've read many to most of them. We've got eight bookcases filled to overflowing; books in straight rows and stacked in piles everywhere there's space. Books in stacks on the floor downstairs, lining the hall, piled in the front of the nonworking chimney.
If someone offered me one tenth of a cent per page for all my books...well, they'd really regret it quickly.
Xan likes books too. He's often carrying one, or two, or three around and almost always grabs some whenever we get in the car. Given his druthers, he tends to go for easy ones with big pictures, and we steer him to more challenging ones. We're pretty sure he reads and understands them to some extent - he's been quizzed in school on books he's read and can name characters, situations and basic things like that.
But lots of times he uses them to bang his elbows or knees with - which seems to help him kind of reset his own body; that being a stranger in your own skin feeling I've written about before. It's hard to get answers from him about less picture-filled books, which may be a lack of understanding the book, the question, or from us in understanding his answers either due to verbal troubles or intellect. After all, he may be answering more than what we ask, giving us a 10 when we expect a 2. He reads. We just don't know how well.
But how does he read other people?
This is usually a big problem with autistic people, where they're busy inside their own heads and skin dealing with their own flood of sensory input to understand, or perhaps even notice, what other people are thinking and feeling. If you have on headphones screaming heavy metal in your ears you aren't be able to catch that whispered question from a person next to you. Other people may see rudeness where it's more overload. At best, even with understanding, you'll be tolerated, not accepted.
He seems to get some things. When we had to put Casper and Ziggy to sleep, he was kind to mommy, giving her little kisses on the top of her head. And, sadly, he's very good at noticing when I'm mad at him, which may or may not mean I'm that too much. But those were and are extremes, clear differences, a boiling ocean or stuttering waterfall where before things were placid and smooth. Other things...
I think he gets when I'm in a good mood, because he wants me to play with him when I'm like that, when I'm likely to really get down and tickle him and wrestle him and all that stuff he likes. Then again, there's been times I've been clearly sick, either with pneumonia or a migraine, and he's either wanted to play or wanted me to do things I pretty clearly wasn't capable of doing. Was that the usual selfishness kids can show, or was it him not seeing I was in pain? How well can he read us, the people he's closest to? (I assume - I can just see me typing out this blog and finding out from his school he's the combination analyst and counselor to his class...)
This is important to get, of course, because reading other people will at the least let you fit in society a bit better - maybe your particular puzzle piece will have to be pushed in a bit, or maybe there'll be a gap at one segment or another, but you'll still be in the whole. But if you can't see when some people are happy, sad, mad, sick - you won't fit. You'll be that square peg in the round hold, or that picture of a cherry in the puzzle of clouds, or that odd checker on the chess board that's meant to be a pawn.
It's hard to teach too. People tend to be separate in their emotions. Books with the same color cover can be millions of differences inside. Only way to know is to be able to read them. Which we don't know how well he can do yet.

When it came (long LONG ago back in the mists of the past) time to pick a senior quote, I went with one of my own making. I thought it made me sound a little like a guy who was more fun than people knew, but looking back on it, it kinda made me look like someone who was TRYING to sound like a guy who was more fun etc. etc. It was 'Trouble isn't trouble unless you're caught.' You may groan now.
One of my friends went with a more classic one from Sun Tzu - "Know yourself - in a thousand battles you will never know defeat." Back then I had problems with that quote, wondering about ambushes, tricks, and just plain old being outmatched. It was only when I got older and thought about it that I understood it a bit better, and then having Xander really drove it home and showed me it was wrong.
It means know your limits. Don't pick fights in areas where you're not strong. Play to your strengths. For example, I am not strong in home repair. Not strong is being kind - I would have to get exponentially better to make it up to not strong. I'm under court order to not attempt anything more complex than changing a light bulb. Therefore, when someone is talking about home repair stuff, I shouldn't jump in and act like I know something about it. Instead, I should perhaps smoothly fake a choking fit and hastily excuse myself.
When it comes to parenting, and more specifically parenting Xander, I have learned limits very well. Mine and his.
Xan has a built-in time limit for work. Usually around the millisecond mark. After this short limit is reached he tends to dig in his heels and make learning difficult and frustrating, and I've learned that at some certain point he's done, and pushing him further on with result in yelling, screaming, head-butting and trouble. He'll act up as well.
The trick is realizing when that switch flips from 'I don't want to do this but I can' to 'I've had all I can take, for real, and I can't handle anymore'. It can be hard to tell. As he used to play his teachers, now he plays us. We've been told he can do things we didn't think he could, and I prefer that to when it was the teachers he was fooling...to a small point.
Maybe someone else could make him do more, or keep him calm, or get him to learn more. Actually, there's no maybe about that - his teachers do that. That's one of my limits I don't like - I'm not as good at teaching him. We tend to meet in the middle when we get impatient with each other and we meet in a crash of egos, which ends with him in his room and me in another, each of us calming down.
Because of those times, I tend to be slower and calmer teaching him, giving him plenty of breaks for both of us. I've seen those limits and what happens when we cross them.
But still - sometimes I do cross them.
Xan is smart. Xan is probably a genius. Every professional who has observed him says they believe that. Which means while he may have limits from his autism, he doesn't have any for his intelligence, and sometimes I push him past where he wants to stop because I know he can do it. He also gets no slack when he does something wrong that I'm pretty sure he knows better, because as I tell him, "I know you're smart enough to know what you did was wrong," even though this will result in his getting in trouble, getting mad, getting punished and reacting in kind. Punishments seem to cut two ways in our house. And when I push past those limits, I know what could happen and that I could lose.
So sometimes I break my limits, so he can go beyond his and reach more of his potential.
Sun Tzu was wrong. I've lost many battles.
So I can still maybe win the war.

Jay Davies "Desert Hunting"
Jay Davies headed North, really far North from his home town of Yallingyup. Below is a few pics of what he and hos mates got up too. Stay tuned for clip of all the action soon.

Noa & Wayne Deane
"See those lights, they're actually Gordon's old ones," says Mumma Deane, pointing to the aluminum kitchen lights dangling above us, formerly owned by Billabong founder and multi-multi millionaire, Gordon Merchant. I'm here to interview her husband, Wayne, a legend of Australian surf culture, and her teenage son, Noa, a budding pro in his own right, but first I'm getting the tour as well as a bit of family history.
The Deanes have been around since the birth of the surf industry, counting many of the day's icons among their friends; Gordon, Rabbit and the Petersons among many more. But the millions never quite made it to them, a fact reflected in their quirky wooden ranch built into the side of a hill in Kirra; it's verandah and insides scattered with quirky bric-a-brac and surfing paraphernalia.
As a gentle breeze rattles the wind chimes, Noa and I sit on the verandah and wait for Wayne to arrive. He's been out in the scorching heat helping a mate fix his roof and when he eventually does return, can barely muster the spit to say hello. As he slumps in his chair, Mumma Deane rushes to fetch him a Bavarian Beer mug full of coke, and Noa and I begin the chat
CW: I hear there's been a bunch of violence going on around D'bah. They're even talking of police patrols on the beach.
Noa: There's always shit going on like that down there – boats running a ground, people fighting. I only see people putting videos up of it but there are always people out there having a dig at each other; all the old blokes who sit at the wall trying to run it.
Mumma Deane: I call 'em the bald crew.
Wayne: Most of the fights are from other guys that come from other areas trying to enforce it. Most of the local guys are just verbal. It's too big of a playing field, too big an area to control. Even surfing Kirra back when it worked, you could get in the take off spot and it was hard to control guys dropping in on you when you're 15-foot back in the barrel and they don't even know you're there and they just fade you. You'd get right to the foam ball and you'd almost get through it but it was pretty frustrating back then.
Ever been involved in any violence, Noa?
Noa: I did a cutback and it sprayed this guy in the face once and he told me to fuck off and I stuck my finger at him and said, "C'mon man, get a life," and he paddled me all the way to Froggies (around the point from Snapper). I was like, "What are we doing over here, mate?" Then he chased me up the beach. Dad and mum were sitting in the car park not knowing what was going on and other people saw it but thought he was joking. I was 12 or 13.
Mumma Deane: We ended up knowing the guy and he wanted to teach him a lesson.
What is the dominant strain of surf culture in Coolangatta?
Noa: There's a fair bit of that aggressive stuff going on but then you get guys coming up from down coast, so it's a mixed bag. Out Snapper there's a couple crew that ride different stuff, like alaias and fishes but mostly it's DHD and JS. It's pretty orientated like that around here.
Which surfers do you admire, Noa?
Noa: I always liked Dane and I've watched some other guys, like Ozzie's old movies 156 Tricks and Seven Days Seven Slaves and Doped Youth. I loved Modern Collective when it came out. I usually only look at Dane's blog. I watch heaps of skate videos too. There's a couple of guys I like watching like Dave Gonzalez. It's more mellow. It's all about the skating and not about just shit. No comps or anything just good skatin' not much politics in it.
A lot of young pros are heavily into skate culture. Why is that?
Noa: You can skate however you want. You're still gonna have your haters of course, but there is every different kind of skater you can think of. You look at skaters and there's so much going on because they're in cities, whereas most of the good waves are in remote areas and it's pretty boring what's going on outside the water. A lot of what people want to see is the culture going on around that person and that doesn't happen in surfing.
What do you need to succeed as a modern surfer?
Noa: You need a mixture. You need to surf but you need something other than surfing to make you stand out and get you coverage. The people who get heaps of coverage in magazines stick in your head. Some people win comps but they're forgotten the day the next comp starts. No one will remember who won a comp last year, even on the WCT. I'd be stoked if I won a comp but bummed when the next comp comes around
What are some of the biggest changes you've seen in surfing over the years?
Noa: It's never been as clean of a sport. Surfers were regarded as bums back in the day. If you told your dad that you were going to be a pro surfer you'd get laughed at.
Wayne: When you try and do your surfing on a low budget you just do whatever you gotta do to get to where you get to. Most of the places we went to do events we never had any financial help. It was always through working. Product was always available but there was never really any financial help. I remember the first time I went to Hawaii guys were sleeping under the contest scaffolding at Sunset.
Mumma Deane: It's a good thing really. It was passion driven. You had board shorts and you had a board and you surfed.
Wayne: It's also a reality of life that not everyone is going to get that high paid job. There's probably 50 people in this town in the history of surfing that could have been as good as anyone of those guys that made a living out of surfing, but they weren't able to because there wasn't enough money. They weren't there talking to the right people at the right time and that's always going to happen no matter what sport you're in.
Noa's been doing the Junior Series, Wayne. What are your observations of that?
Wayne: The surfers have to be a bit programmed to do well in that stuff. If you surf different you get criticized for looking lazy or just cruising but if you're roboting and you claim it, you get the score and you go hang on a minute; the guy cruising did exactly the same thing and he was relaxed and he did it all and he got a less score.
Noa: I thought style was everything back in the day.
Wayne: Style's good but I thought if you went in a contest as long as you did what was required, if you looked relaxed or aggressive as long as you did what was required you got the score. People who are doing slightly different stuff are being penalized for different stuff. You go hang on, are you guys seeing both sides of the coin, here?
What should surfing never lose?
Noa: Having fun. People are getting too serious. Some people don't realize it's not MMA fighting, it's a more creative sport. It's not about getting as many waves as you can, it's about learning the rules first. You gotta learn the rules first then when you do the time then you can get some waves instead of demanding waves and being a kook. Fair enough you might have a bad surf every 50 surfs but guys get stressed out every surf and you think, why do you do it?
Wayne: They're stressed out because of their life not because of surfing, and they take it into the water. They're trying to get waves and they've only got half an hour, the missus wants them home, someone is about to repossess their car.
Single fins enjoyed a little time in the sun recently – and still kinda are – but something you don't see often is a twin fin. Noa Deane, ever the unique surfer he is, has been riding one on the Gold Coast recently. When the above photo off Noa loosening said fin duo, was taken, "the sun was shining, it was about 9am, no wind, and D'bah was packed with groms due to the Occy grom comp being on at the time," says photog Nick Hollman, who shot this. via STAB MAG - http://stabmag.com/noa-deane-twin-finner-at-dbah-gold-coast/

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: A Detacher
2012 February 13
Fall 2012: Edun, Jeremy Laing, Carlos Campos, A Detacher
FirstView View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Edun
Half-way through Fashion Week, and we've already traveled the globe: Japan, Spain, Mexico, and France! Next stop? Africa! Edun creative director Sharon Wauchob winked to her seasonal safari references across the pond with a roundup of animal print frocks, jungle patterned blouses, and eighties punk rock plaid skirts and nylon tops. But this season, she raised the stakes, much to the satisfaction of owner and founder Ali Hewson. (Yep, that's Bono's wife!) "I love the way Sharon has kept her African inspiration while merging it with the contemporary elements you've seen today, like the foiling of the sweaters and all the perforated leather," explained Hewson backstage. Speaking of leather, Wauchob's tour de France showed up in a pair of baggy black zip trousers that had Elle's Kate Lanphear doing a double-take.
Jeremy Laing
Punk beats circa the seventies blasted from The Metropolitan Pavillion as Terence Koh and Hope Atherton dodged the paps to sit pretty in their front row perches. Newcomer Jeremy Laing wowed the crowd with his three loves: Japan, poetry, and art. Focusing on subdued separates over his usual penchant for dresses, Laing concocted a lineup of minimalistic denim velvet pants, capes, leather leggings, and more coats than ever before. Our official rating: More of the same, please!
Carlos Campos
Carlos Campos showed at MADE with a gorgeous crop of looks inflected by Gabriel García Márquez's Love in the Time of Cholera. "I read the book when I was 17. It's about a man who waits 50 years to tell this woman that he loves her—so I wanted to stay true to being romantic and in love. When you have a date, you care about what you're going to wear and how you're going to put it together; you tend to be a little more 'mashy mashy,'" Hmm. A mishmash, especially in the color department? Well, we see a smash, that's for sure.
A Detacher
Geisha gets a contemporary revamp! With a nod to late 18th century Japanese photography and geishas, Mona Kowalska channeled shapes and cuts from kimonos, cherry blossoms, and swaths of ripe orange-red into a thoroughly modern collection. Despite the giveaway traditional hair, the rest of the overcoats, knits, and intermittent dress were great for today's downtown girl. Thick knit skirts and tapered pants looked incredibly (dare we admit!) comfortable and chic, though it's hard to know how they would translate on a real body. Fear not, there were also flattering paper bag brown blouses in crisp cotton with wide white Peter Pan collars that erred on the side of playfully ironic, not elementary school playground. There were a few prints such as geometric plaid in navy, red, and white on cropped wool pants. Kowalska, a graduate of the Sonia Rykiel school of color thought, made her biggest statement by perfectly pairing piece together. Like a nondescript brown short-sleeved jacket punctuated by a pink and red colorblocked knit sweater and red tights. Clogs with wooden platforms kept the everything from looking too prim.

Root leads Yale into Frozen Four
Jesse Root
This week is homecoming for Jesse Root as the Mt. Lebanon native leads the Yale University ice hockey team into the Frozen Four, which is being hosted by Pittsburgh this week at the Consol Energy Center.
The 6-0, 185-pound forward guided the Bulldogs (20-12-3) to stunning victories during the western regional tournament of the NCAA Division I playoffs. Dramatic triumphs over No. 1 ranked Minnesota, 3-2, and North Dakota, 4-1, vaulted Root and Yale into Thursday's semifinal versus the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. Face-off is at 4:30 p.m. April 11.
Root scored the game-winning goal against the Gophers, nine seconds into overtime of the western regional semifinal. He also had the decisive tally in the win over North Dakota, which vaulted Yale into the NCAA semifinals.
Should Yale trump UMass Lowell (28-10-2), the Bulldogs will compete for the NCAA title. They would face the winner between No. 1 Quinnipiac and St. Cloud State in the championship contest set for 7 p.m. April 13, also at Consol Energy Center.
Quinnipiac (29-7-5) and St. Cloud (25-15-1) face off at 8 p.m. April 11 in the other semifinal clash.
Root ranks among Yale's scoring leaders with 11 goals and 11 assists this season. He has 20 career goals to go along with 34 assists.
A junior, Root played on Mt. Lebanon's 2006 state championship club before heading to Taft High School. A team captain in 2008-09, he led the club to the New England quarterfinals. A national AP scholar as well as a standout in lacrosse, Root also competed in the Eastern Junior Hockey League. There he tallied 44 goals in 41 games and led the Junior Bruins with seven game-winning goals.
The son of Kathy and David Root is a political science major at Yale. For his class work as well as his hockey prowess, he has garnered academic All-ECAC honors.

Who knew a low impact workout can lead to a major sweat session and toned legs? The closest I'll get to being a ballerina but at least I'll feel more confident in a mini skirt!
Great Studio – I have been going to the here since October 2007. It is a quiet, serene and cozy studio. The place lives up to its name. My trainer, designs each session depending on how my body feels. Some days, I am stiffer (arthritis) and we do more stretching, some days I feel great and she works me out! I always feel like I am her only client, that?s how focused on me she is. As a result of my weekly visits, my body is much stronger, more flexible and looks a lot better. My arms and legs have long, strong muscles, my abs are finally getting strong! I have never liked exercise and now, I cannot live without my Pilates session. I joke that I feel just as good after Pilates as I do after a massage! I highly recommend his spot to anyone looking for personalized training.

I always feel like I am her only client, that
Hard rock ABS! – I stumbled upon this find with a local school auction win; I had always wanted to try Pilates. In a short series of classes, I felt a noticeable change! With a few more classes, I felt sleeker in my over-40 body! I was amazed at how much fun I was having too! Trisha and Jesse worked me hard while making me smile and laugh as the hour passed. I find myself missing the camaraderie almost as much as the expert instruction. Pilates takes mental energy and the descriptive approaches given and encouragement along the way are best in class! Thank you to Cassidy and her tremendous staff! TRY THEM OUT!
A whole new level of sore – I took a class with my baby sister and loved every minute of it. I work out 4-5 times per week with weight training and spin classes etc. and I have been an athlete all my life. So I love finding new workouts that challenge me. What's so cool about Bar Method is that it really pushes muscle endurance. No matter how in shape you think you are Bar Method pushes that limit and helps you find new levels of sore.
My go-to workout for immediate results – I'm an avid runner who always felt that while running keeps me healthy, it doesn't sculpt my body the way I'd like. Bar Method is my go-to cross-training workout to see results that same day. It challenges me and builds strength in muscles I didn't know I had. The teachers are fantastic too.
a GREAT workout! – I danced when I was younger, and I love pilates now, so The Bar Method was a great fit for me. It is a full body workout in 1 hour. The movements look like they should be so easy, but you soon learn exactly how hard core this workout actually is! And results come quickly. I can feel my body get leaner, longer and stronger with each class!
Always a great workout, best teaching method I've found – I enjoy trying out all types of fitness classes as my mind and my body seem to often get bored easily if I find myself doing the same repetitions over and over without changes or progression--this is NOT the case with The Bar Method. When I tried Bar Method for the first time, I craved more and more because I found each class each day was so different even though the principals of the class structure remained the same. The teachers are all incredibly friendly and most importantly, watchful of all of their clients to ensure that proper form and alignment is being observed throughout all of the intervals being performed. I have tried a few different barre-based exercise programs based on affordability at the time, but The Bar Method is by far the best program/method/workout out there. The exercise sequencing pushes me to exhaustion and is followed immediately by blissful stretches to stretch the exact muscles that were just worked--all while focusing on the breath to pull in my abdominals throughout the class and correct posture (something I have not found emphasized elsewhere). I encourage anyone who is looking for something new to add to their workout repertoire to try out The Bar Method. If you are looking for a new body and great workout in an incredible learning atmosphere, you'll be hooked.
If the classes are more than your budget can handle, the DVDs are great supplements that move along with the same class structure just a little bit of a slower pace.
buns of steel here I come! – Every instructor is wonderful and each have taught me something new. I've had gym memberships, been to yoga classes and have never, ever, stuck with anything for 30 days straight. The introductory offer is amazing and it got me committed to exercising and in turn I feel so much better and I'm ready to sign up for more! the classes are amazingly FUN, hard, but difficult in a way that makes me stronger, hotter, and really proud of myself. Just show up at least 3 times a week and be ready to feel like a million bucks! Forget new clothes, I want a newly improved body!!
I'm lovin it! – I joined the Bar Method in West LA 14 months ago. My goal was just to do something useful while i was waiting for the traffic on the 405 to get better, and why not getting some muscles where i needed them! My first class was awful. I thought i was going to be sick. I had never thought this would be a difficult or straining work out! It made me realize that i had only focused until now on a very limited number of muscles in my body, and that i had a lot of work to do if i wanted to look as toned and sexy and the other women in my class. I love challenges so i decided to stick to it and see if my body would change. During the 1st 3 months i did not see much, in fact i sometimes felt i was getting better. But then i started noticing that i was definitely much more toned than before, that i had 6 pack abs (seriously!) and that my butt that had been historically flat all my life was getting stronger too. My arms were the part of my body that changed the quickest (i had never worked them out before, so no surprise): now even guys look at me and say "wow, for a tiny person, you're quite tone". On a personal note, i have been suffering from neuralgia in my legs for 7 years.... As i get stronger at the Bar method, i noticed that i more able to managed the pain, probably because i get stronger muscles to support me. For me it is worth all the pain and swearing i go through during those torturing classes! I'm going tonight in fact and i can't wait!
Great place for new mommys! – Good way to get back in shape fast after having a baby. And the hour goes fast! Fun class!!

One new dye set must be created for the 4-dye PowerPlex® Systems, and one new dye set must be created for the 5-dye PowerPlex® Systems. It is unnecessary to switch spectral calibrations between Promega and Applied Biosystems products because selection of the correct spectral is part of the Instrument Protocol. Creating a new dye set is very simple with the 3500 series data collection software.
Yes. For detailed instructions, see the PowerPlex® 5-Dye Matrix Standards, 3100/3130, Technical Bulletin #TBD024.
Yes. The old spectral will not be available once the new array is installed on the instrument.
Yes. We recommend the same ratio for these instruments, but as always, laboratories should perform internal validation to determine the optimal ratio for individual instruments.
For the PowerPlex® ESI 16 and 17 Systems, we recommend a peak window of 11 instead of 15. For the PowerPlex® ESX 16 and 17 Systems, the peak window can be kept at the default value of 15.

While the outsides might look similar to the standard Sphinx Mount, the changes that have happened under the hood are huge! Incorporating one piece hardened steel RA and DEC shafts with needle bearings throughout, the new Sphinx D can handle a load capacity up to 50 lbs. The Sphinx D comes complete with PEC and the incredibly accurate SX Polar Finder Scope.
Astronomers with larger optical tubes and all level of astrophotographers are sure to feel right at home with the intuitive controls that so many have become accustomed to with the standard Sphinx Mount.

Frogs are an important part of an ecosystem. Because they are both predator and prey, they affect many other species. Yet pollution, disease, habitat loss, invasive species and over-harvesting for the pet and food trades are all contributing to the rapid rise of frog extinctions.
Your adoption provides Defenders with the support we need to promote and enforce regulations that would help prevent the spread of invasive species and diseases to native frog populations, and to work toward putting an end to the international frog trade.
All donations support our work to protect and restore the wildlife and wild places you care about.
Named "America's Best Wildlife Charity" by Reader's Digest, Defenders of Wildlife has been a leading innovator in developing the most effective ways to conserve imperiled wildlife and wild lands for over 65 years.
