SOCHI SCENE: Huh? Que? Was?
SOCHI, Russia (AP) — It's like the United Nations, Olympic-style.
Volunteer interpreters scrambling to communicate while transcribing quotes for the Olympic News Service. Journalists fighting over which language athletes should speak when they answer questions. And the jargon of youth - how the heck do you say "stoked" in Korean?
American gold medalist snowboarder Sage Kotsenburg forced interpreters to translate that seven times on Monday, in seven languages besides English for those listening on headsets in tongues they could understand.
The 20-year-old from Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, who trains in Park City, Utah also dropped a "sick" while approving Great Britain's women's slopestyle bronze. The word became "slick" in a transcript later distributed to journalists.
While interviewing a Russian speedskater in the mixed zone, the Russian interpreter assigned to help me struggled with double-duty, catching minor heat from her supervisor when she couldn't write down the athlete's quotes at the same time. Quite a lot to ask - listen, talk and write at the same time. I wanted to give her my recorder.
A day later, a presser with Canada's freestyle skiing sensations Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe was delayed several times by language lobbying. By the last answer, Justine double-checked if she really had to repeat herself in English on an answer she'd already given in French. Her handler told her yes, but keep it short.
"OK," Dufour-Lapointe said with a slight sigh.
Makes you want to tell folks, preferred language or not: Hey, just roll with it.

Mermy Gloves
January 8, 2010
Made these for my trip to San Fran! I tend to knit into the wee hours of the night, and by then it's hella cold… I figured a pair of wristwarmers would do the trick, and these were the prettiest I could find! The one on the bottom is larger than the one on the top, only because I finished the bottom one first and wore it as I knit the second one.
Used these lovely instructions for the thumb gusset.

Over the weekend, a sign was posted over the door of the hotel indicating it was closing. I understand the hotel is over 100 years old. Anyone know anything about this?

thanks scumonkey, I did see this after I posted. I am curious as to weather or not the owner has any plans for the space or the buillding. I did not see anything on the NYC building site that would indicate new construction, or anything requiring a permit was in the works.
I wonder if Extell bought it to provide a plaza for the Orion. I hope that the contiguous buildings to the west are not acquired and razed. They're quite nice. I can't wait for the crap across 9th Ave to be redeveloped.
Several years ago, there was a rumor that extel was planning to build luxury town homes on the site. I find no evidence that the building was sold to them, nor have I found any permits whatsoever. Still it makes you wonder...
Luxury townhomes that front 42nd Street?
There is an Easement Agreement from 2004 between the Orion and adjoining properties, including the Elk Hotel site at 360 West 42nd (aka 578 Ninth Avenue).
So Orion bought the air rights?
Yes, Orion does have the air rights.
I live at the Orion and participate on a private google forum for owners. One of the owners called Elk building management and was told the Elk will be refurbished and converted to rentals. Like I said it is odd, because I could not find a work permit, but I am not really sure I know how this stuff works.

The August 2004 DEED covering the purchase of Air Rights by developers of the Orion shows that the amount paid was $51,328,728
The DOF listing shows the adjoining properties involved in the Easement Agreement where air rights were purchased; that includes all the properties facing onto Ninth Avenue, running from 566 - 578 Ninth Avenue:
I checked DOB applications & permits for each of those adjoining properties and the active permits mostly pertain to alterations for some street level restaurants.
Too bad they don't do a Disney style reenactment hotel where you could dress up and pretend to be a drug addict/hooker.

Inside the Elk
Mark Schulte has been a lease-holding tenant at the Elk Hotel for the past 5 years, moving in permanently after 15 years of being a transient guest at the 87-year-old flophouse off Times Square.
On February 7, he tells me, he and the rest of the Elk's tenants arrived home to find new staff working the front desk and two days' notice to vacate the premises. Without warning, the building had been sold to landlord Martin Sanders at Mollaney Investments in a purchase that nearly completes the acquisition of an entire block of tenements along 9th Avenue between 41st and 42nd Streets.
all photos: my Flickr
As Mark walks me down the Elk's murky hallways, I step carefully across checkerboard linoleum floors so mushy it feels like my feet will break right through. Here and there, we pass over the litter of syringe wrappers, cigarette butts, and beer bottles. We peer into abandoned rooms, miserable warrens of cracked walls and moldy ceilings, some just big enough for nothing more than a twin-sized mattress. In one room, a dead mouse swells on the carpet.
Says Mark, "They have not done any cleaning or maintenance work since February 2. If the place was ever considered dirty, it's really dirty now."
He explains what's been happening over the past month. "The new landlord picked off the low-hanging fruit," he says, by offering small buyouts of $2,000, then $5,000. The drug addicts and many of the elderly took the cash and left. About a dozen lease-holding tenants remain.
One who might have taken the buyout, but didn't get the chance, was a woman named Diane. Her body was found by Mark and a neighbor on February 10 in Room 211. It had been decomposing in bed for two weeks. As we stand in front of the NYPD-sealed door, the smell of human decay is still pungent.
"I wasn't sure what I was looking at," Mark says, "It was not recognizable as a body." It looked like a pile of blackened rags with a hot-pink wig lying on top of it. A friend down the hall who just happens to work as an embalmer identified the body as Diane, a well-known tenant who had recently dyed her hair pink. She used to sit outside Port Authority and panhandle with a sign that said "Times have been tough." This is how she paid her $180 monthly rent at the Elk.
Another tenant, called "Pops," isn't budging. An 85-year-old war veteran, Pops can only hobble from his room to the shared bathroom and back. He can't walk down the stairs, so he sends his neighbors out for coffee and sandwiches. His window looks out on the well-known Pepsi sign--his view for many years.
Then there's the tenant that Mark and his neighbors "affectionately refer to as Coo-Coo." Suffering from some unknown mental illness, Coo-Coo roams the halls in dirty underwear, picking through the garbage to take items back to his room--empty tuna cans are a favorite--where he hoards them in a kind of nest. He begs the neighbors for cigarettes, and carries a thick bankroll of Guyanese dollars--worth almost nothing. Coo-Coo's response to the buyout is: "I'm staying."
While the Elk was known for being a holdout of Times Square seediness, with rooms on the first floor renting by the hour and filled with the dramatic moaning of prostitutes, most of the permanent residents who remain are like Mark--"average guys," he says, who found themselves couch-surfing on one couch too many, and discovered cheap rent and privacy at the Elk Hotel. They make their living as cooks, musicians, performers.
Retired, Mark spends his time writing and doing volunteer work, mostly for LGBT causes. He's a veteran of ACT UP and Queer Nation, he says, "So I'm not afraid of getting in people's faces." He has a lawyer and is fighting for his rights, as life at the Elk has deteriorated fast in the past few weeks.
"On Saturday, February 11 at 8:30 A.M.," Mark tells me, "a demolition crew came in, removed all the doors from vacant rooms, and carried out everything but the sinks." On the night of February 13, with about a dozen holdouts remaining after the buyout deadline, "the heat and hot water was turned off... We spent a very cold night," says Mark. The next day, the tenants went to court and got their heat back.
"Now we're just waiting to see what the landlord's next move will be," Mark tells me. "I'm going to ride this out. They're probably going to demolish the building and I'm willing to leave, but I need more than $5,000. That's not even enough for a deposit with first and last month's rent someplace."
And what will happen to Pops and Coo-Coo, he wonders, and to other tenants like them who cannot advocate for themselves and have even fewer resources? $5,000 won't help them find and keep a new home. It will, however, pay one month's rent on a two-bedroom at the Elk's high-end new neighbor, the Orion.
A 58-story glass shaft of luxury condos and rentals, the Orion towers over the Elk. It also used the Elk's air rights, so nothing tall can be built on that corner. According to online records, the Elk's new landlord now owns almost the entire block, from 568 - 578 9th Avenue, minus 572 (that one has a partial vacate order, due to its uses as an illegal hostel and illegal massage parlor).
These buildings house a simple, but motley collection of first-floor businesses, like Dave's Tavern, the New Panda Chinese restaurant, a bodega, a barber shop, and Papaya Dog.
How long will this block remain standing?
Orion--right next to the Elk's entrance
Over drinks at the 9th Avenue Saloon, Mark recalls his years at the Elk, remembering when the first-floor business belonged to LaFleur's, a transgender hustler bar run by locally famous drag queen John LaFleur. That was the 1990s and the neighborhood was a much different place.
"But I knew this was coming," Mark says of the hotel's demise. "Because it didn't make sense that the Elk was still there, being what it was. It used to be there were a number of hotels like the Elk. It's a way of life that's disappearing. You could come to New York with nothing, arrive on a bus at Port Authority, and get a cheap room around the corner, so at least you had a place to stay. And that's all vanishing."
"How do you think people without money come to New York today," I asked.
"They don't," Mark said.

Mike Walsh, Jon Patterson help Chaminade upset St. Mary's in CHSAA semi
Bigs business was booming Sunday for Chaminade.
Its tandem of 6-6 power players Mike Walsh and Jon Patterson were too much for St. Mary's 6-9 Jesse Govan as the No. 4 Flyers surprised the top-seeded Gaels, 72-58, in a CHSAA boys basketball semifinal at LIU Post.
"We know how good Jesse is," Walsh said. "So whichever guy he had, we looked for the other guy. We thought the one-two punch of me and Jon would work."
Though talented sophomore Govan managed 17 points and a handful of blocks, he couldn't be in two places at once. So Patterson (19 points) and Walsh (14) tormented St. Mary's with layups and sharp interior passes that often went from one big man to the other.
"We're friends on and off the court. We've played together for a while," Patterson said of Walsh. "We know where the other one is; we know each other's game. We worked together to get good looks down low."
Not right away. Govan and Devonte Green (17 points) sparked a 10-0 first-quarter run that gave St. Mary's (16-8) a 16-10 lead. The Gaels led 20-16 after one and 36-34 at halftime. But after the break, the Flyers demonstrated that two bigs are better than one.
Walsh scored six straight points in the third quarter to give Chaminade a 40-39 lead. Though the game was tied twice more, St. Mary's never went back ahead and Govan never completely dominated the paint.
"Our plan was to get him away from the basket," first-year Chaminade coach Bob Paul said. "Jon and Mike have a great on-court relationship. They make a living off each other."
Whichever player Govan defended would set up in the high post, opening up the low blocks for the other big man. Chaminade (18-8) broke the game open with a 24-point fourth quarter that included perimeter help from reserves Brian Ehrhardt (11 points) and Tom O'Connell (nine), and starting guard Liam Murphy (14 points, including 6-for-6 in free throws late).
St. Mary's cut its deficit to 57-55 with 4:22 left on a driving layup by Patrick Jackson (18 points), but Ehrhardt drained a three-pointer right in front of the Chaminade bench and scored on a baseline drive before a breakaway bucket by Murphy off an outlet pass by Walsh. Every Flyer was feeling it.
"We're a patient team and an experienced team," Walsh said. "We keep the ball moving and whoever is open gets the shot."
Chaminade will try to win the CHSAA championship Tuesday when it faces No. 2 Holy Trinity at 7:30 p.m. at Hofstra. "That's our main goal," Patterson said.

Peanut butter and jelly, Ben and Jerry, peas and carrots… some things are just meant to be together.
Just like these great pairs, your cover letter and resume make a match made in heaven. When written the right way, these two documents can complement and play off of each other in order to engage the employer of your dreams.
Check out these four nifty ways to make your cover letter the perfect introduction to your resume:
Tailor it
It might be easy to write out a "template" cover letter and jet it off to dozens of employers, but it won't get you far. Employers respond to tailored resumes that show you did your research. Make your best effort to address it to the right hiring manager and include details that only the company would have.
Know someone linked to this company? Now's the time to drop their name. Nothing is better than a referral.
Insert some personality
I've noticed that many job seekers read "be professional" as "be a robot". Using bland, overly formal language says nothing about you. Employers want an employee who is capable, but also someone who would be a good addition to their company culture.
Go for detail
Your resume is full of solid facts, but your cover letter can benefit from a detail or two. Consider including a short anecdote or example of a time when you succeeded in your career. This is the time for prose.
Email it
Last, but not least, you're best off including your cover letter in the body of the email you're sending. If you include it in your resume attachment, what's going to be in the body of your email anyway?
What do you think? What other tips would you share with job seekers writing their cover letters? Any particular mistakes to avoid? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
Gerrit Hall is the CEO and co-founder of RezScore, a free web application that reads, analyzes, and grades resumes – instantly. Gerrit has successfully combined his passion for computer science and the careers space by helping job seekers write the best resume possible.

Who doesn't love The Chosen One?
As you know, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt turned one the other day and according to Us Weekly sources, 50 balloons were ordered to the compound in Prague, along with cake and cookies and other festive treats.
Interesting the cover caption on the magazine: The Secret Home Life of Daddy's Girl and the Surprising Truth About Mom…prompting many to wonder whether or not Angelina is still "neglecting" the white kid in favour of the adopted multicoloured ones, as ludicrously suggested by the tabloids. Typically though, as you can see, Brad Pitt's image, that of Best Father Ever, is still in tact. Apparently he fashions Frisbees out of pizza boxes and encourages Maddox, Pax, and Zahara to throw them around the house while The Chosen One watches with delight.
Surprisingly though, Janice is expected to portray Angelina, for now anyway, as a doting mother equally to all her children, perhaps in a new bid to garner favour with the Pitts for future features on the heels of their triumphant trip to Cannes.
And finally, Marion from Montreal wrote yesterday…says she passed Brad at the airport leaving Customs, security in tow, and he was on his cell phone. She heard him say: Put Madd on…
Cute, non?
Janice Min loves The Chosen One?

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Yeah, like a 22-year-old Olympic athlete with broad shoulders and a silver medal hanging from his neck needs any help finding a woman to be his valentine. But, for his next trick, freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy will make all of America swoon. How? He's returning to Colorado with stray puppies rescued during the Winter Games.
"A lot of girls like Olympians and puppies," Kenworthy said Thursday, when he earned a spot on the podium in ski slopestyle, displayed a heart as big as the Rocky Mountains and became America's most eligible bachelor. All in one day.
Not bad work, if you can get it.
This is the power of puppy love: Kenworthy has been bombarded by admirers on social media since the Denver resident posted photos of four mutts he discovered abandoned in the frosty alpine air of Russia with their mother.
Remember when the baggy pants of snowboarders cast a long shadow as the hippest thing on snow? Well, Shaun White is yesterday's news. Skiers are back, catching big air and grabbing the feel-good headlines of these Winter Games.
With a little help from his friends Joss Christensen and Nicholas Goepper, Kenworthy led a mind-bending, high-flying, triple-rotating American sweep of the medals. It was a storybook Olympic debut for ski slopestyle, a made-for-television thrill ride that is 33 percent snow, 33 percent Cirque du Soleil and 33 percent pure adrenaline.
As a nation of winners, the United States stands up to cheer a champion. But, in a nation of dog lovers, Kenworthy seems destined to become an Olympic folk hero.
Know what's so crazy it has to be true? The puppies were Kenworthy's secret weapon in this competition. "They took away a lot of stress for me," he admitted.
Dogs don't give a woof. They're too busy chewing on your shoe to worry about anything. And puppy kisses kill all anxiety on contact.
Everything about the Olympics, from the fireworks at the opening ceremony to the outrageously goofy costumes of fans, is over the top. Kenworthy, however, made a real difference in the little corner of Russia he has called home this month with a small act of kindness. He adopted animals in distress, arranging for vaccines and transportation back to the Rocky Mountains. He intends to keep one of the cute pups for himself and find good homes for the rest of the litter.
An ugly byproduct of moving dirt by the ton and leveling homes during a $50 billion project to build Olympic venues and a small new city to support the Games was an abandoned dog population that roams from Sochi to the mountains. The stray canines can be found everywhere, from the rocky beaches of the Black Sea to the courtyard of my hotel complex, where the same friendly male dog welcomes me with a wagging tail as I return from watching hockey or speedskating at 2 a.m.
I call him Putin. He likes pretzels.
A boy's best friend can change the way a man looks at the world. At age 11, Kenworthy received a dog as a gift for his birthday. Got him from an animal shelter. Called him Mack.
"My dog passed away a year ago," said Kenworthy, who graduated from Telluride High School. So there has been something missing in the skier's life. He had to travel to Russia to find it.
During training for the Games, a friend called Kenworthy and said: "Dude, you have to see these puppies."
Kenworthy was tired and sore from a tough day of practice. But he put on his gloves, hopped a gondola down the mountainside and checked the spot where a new mother had found shelter for her litter under a security tent in town. All it took was just one look.
"Yeah," Kenworthy said, "I just fell in love with the puppies."
Kenworthy arrived at the Winter Olympics with dreams of a medal.
He found love.
"Dude," Kenworthy told a buddy on the eve of the slopestyle competition, "I just want to leave Russia with a medal and some puppies."
Mission accomplished.

These arid places of clay and shale are the backdrop to harsh, desolate, and infinitely delicate vignettes. To a casual visitor, it is a sun baked wasteland of lifeless grey earth, caked and cracked and carved by rare floods. To the patient observer, however, there is great beauty here, delicate and subtle, but it does not reveal itself easily. You have to want to see it, and be willing to work hard for it. On rare years, wildflowers burst into stunning display of color, transforming the desert into a veritable garden for just few precious days; miss it and you may never get another chance.

Written by David Silver
I first met Ram Dass about thirty-five years ago at the Hilda Charlton Thursday night teaching and kirtan. A hundred seekers at St. Luke-In-The-Fields Episcopal Church on Hudson Street in Manhattan. Ram Dass had taken my friend and neighbor, Danny Goldberg, to the meeting a week or two before, and Danny had so immediately fallen in love with it that he strongly exhorted me to go. Despite my lingering British bloody-mind skepticism, I went.
It simply changed and rearranged my whole life, no hyperbole. Out of the visions and wisdom of Hilda, the Masters came through that meeting in a line, from Maharajji to Yogananda, from Ramana Maharshi to Shirdi Sai Baba, from Anandamayi Ma to St. Francis of Assisi, and all the other saints in between. It put me on the path. I was swept up in the Maharajji satsang very soon after that, and instantaneously, felicitously, became a happy part of their amazing multi-dimensional, multi-talented, multi-devotional family. And, kinda crucially for me, they were the most fun, wisest, and wittiest spiritual types around.
I was so so FORTUNATE to have this happen to me. I wasn't there, in India with Maharajji. But I was present at countless meditations and kirtans where it felt like the guru was there. And Ram Dass's experience became ours for free, and his very presence elevated my mood and left me with an altered, richer awareness. Krishna Das's killer chanting was the cream in the coffee.
When Ram Dass returned to Hilda's, after Maharajji's mahasamadhi in 1973, his words were precious and moving. Nothing sentimental, just solid sentiments. How do you go on when your guru is gone? The loss was inestimable, but Ram Dass effortlessly assured us of His continuing presence that night and has ever since.
In May of 1976, I went to a Bob Marley concert at the Beacon in New York City. Ram Dass and other friends were there, and by the end of an astonishingly riveting and healing show, we all literally fell out on to Broadway. Ram Dass was so completely elated and inspired by Marley's music that he just took off on to the street divider and danced and leaped around like Nijinsky. We followed him, equally stunned by Bob's brilliant high chakra reggae music. Then, in that moment, that being there then, still in the magnetic trance of The Wailers' music, Ram Dass became yet again the light-filled Pied Piper, leading us out of our conditioned rodent-like repressions, like he often did and does as a friend, as an unparalleled orator, as a seminal author, as a blessed and eloquently communicative witness of the guru.
Ram Dass was just totally taken by Bob's music that warm night and was so innocent yet grown-up about the way he danced on the street. There was nothing remotely hippie dippie about it. It was the dance of the human carbon-based upright biped totally in the present, being here now big time, and the whole tableau of all of us high as kites stays with me to this day, this second.
Towards the end of the Seventies, I went through an extraordinarily painful decline-of-marriage and then divorce. My head was on fire with anger; my body was feeling the effects of depression, despair, Debbie Downer par excellence. One night in our Upper West Side apartment, I just was having a time of it with crowds of tamasic, unpleasant thoughts rolling around in my mind, got freaked out and nervous, and felt like I needed to talk to someone. I called The Hanuman Foundation (had never done this before), twenty blocks uptown, and Ram Dass answered the phone. He knew my basic situation but when he heard the sadness and low energy in my voice, he unhesitatingly suggested we talk immediately at the Foundation. I cabbed up there and Ram Dass spent a potent two hours with me, going through my shit and cleaning up a lot of it. It helped me immeasurably. There are millions of others who have been helped, need I add.
I have never gotten over how G-R-E-A-T a public speaker Ram Dass is. His chock-full-of-anecdotes talks were sometimes a rollicking, verbally genius journey down something that was going on with him back then and sometimes they were pure teachings of bhakti realization, the balm-like directness of the effects of guru and kirtan, the ineffable but tangible power of darshan. So Ram Dass' lectures were as exquisite as Proust, as smart as Lenny Bruce, as gentle and healing as Yogananda. Even though I hung out with Ram Dass, when he spoke in front of lots of people, his insights penetrated my psyche and cleared up the emotional statics of guilt, remorse, disappointment, confusion, on and on.
So what you got was the mix of high plane consciousness articulation and absolutely down-to-Earth exegesis of daily, erring human life. Ram Dass's honesty was always like a flash of lightning for me—it cut through the confusion and allowed you to release yourself from unnecessary anxiety. The two streams of Ram Dass's speeches at that time created a unique whole, holy guide diary for us all. It amounted to a medicine man transformative effect. A shaman with the verbal skills of Spalding Gray, the flashing, incisive humor of Richard Pryor. No kiddin'. You left the place clearer and lighter than when you came in.
That frighteningly gifted side of Ram Dass was one side of the coin. Talking about Maharajji was the other, lovely and thought-provoking side—putting you right there in India during the days of the guru and the Westerners. Replete with Maharajji epiphanies. And always the interlaced funny side, just to keep things in perspective…
In recent years, I have been extensively filming Ram Dass in Maui and what a pleasure! What a total pleasure! Still learning and laughing with him, still here with his guru and mine.

Announcing Cancer Insurance Checklist: Guía de Cobertura Médica para Personas con Cáncer
As implementation of the health reform law (the Affordable Care Act) continues, the Cancer Support Community (CSC) is pleased to announce the launch of a Spanish language version of the successful resource, the Cancer Insurance Checklist. This easy-to-use guide is available to assist people with cancer, a history of cancer or at risk for cancer choose a health insurance plan.
The need is great. Nearly a third (31.1%) of Hispanics and Latinos under age 65 in the United States do not have health insurance, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 10.2 million Hispanics and Latinos are eligible for coverage through the health insurance marketplaces, 3.7 million of whom speak Spanish as their primary language.
Cancer Insurance Checklist: Guía de Cobertura Médica para Personas con Cáncer was designed to provide guidance for people who prefer resources in Spanish as they consider their needs and options for health insurance. The deadline to register and purchase coverage through the marketplaces for 2014 is March 31, 2014.
Available at SegurosMedicosYCancer.org, Cancer Insurance Checklist: Guía de Cobertura Médica para Personas con Cáncer is a useful Spanish language guide to help you find a health insurance plan that will meet your needs. The Checklist walks you through the process of evaluating and comparing plans' coverage for cancer-related services and the costs associated with that coverage.
- If you will be purchasing insurance on your state's health insurance marketplace
- If you have cancer, a history of cancer, or are at risk for cancer
- When evaluating insurance plans
- When discussing your insurance needs with your navigator or marketplace representative
- When discussing your cancer care needs with your health care provider
Simply fill in the three worksheets for each insurance plan you are considering. By doing so, you will be able to tell which insurance plan best fits your needs and your budget.
The Cancer Insurance Checklist and Cancer Insurance Checklist: Guía de Cobertura Médica para Personas con Cáncer were developed through a partnership of 19 cancer and advocacy organizations led by the Cancer Support Community.
SegurosMedicosYCancer.org also provides helpful links to other Spanish-language resources related to cancer and insurance.
We urge you to use and share this helpful new tool with anyone who may need it. And if you need any assistance with cancer related issues, please call CSC's Helpline at 1-888-793-9355, which offers support services in English and Spanish.

The Gianfranco Ferre design team, Stefano Citron and Federico Piaggi were inspired by utter lightness that for them acts as a transformation of geometric lines into a seductive and glamorous result. This collection represents a free, sensual and clearly determined woman with a brand new image!
The Ferre line reminds us of nothing that we have seen before from the brand. There is a unique balance between material and color, volume and detail, simplicity and elegance. Whites, powder hues and nude acsents in contrast with metalic gold and silver glints produce a remarkable outcome. On the other hand, fluo pink and spice purple in accordance with old-time classically elegant black, totally stand out.
The long gowns in pencil shapes, revealing some part of the waist, either in the front or at the back side of the body, combined with the leather belts or the metal bands, provide the perfect evening attire. Adding up to this sensuality, there are low necklines, high slits and assymetric cuts. When models walk down the catwalk their motion reveals those metal inserts that are sometimes used as jewel chokers, edging on bustiers, shoulder straps or mini-tops.
The square geo-shaped bracelets of G.Ferre, totally conveying power and always worn on one hand, match perfectly the golding, fume or silverish hue of the dynamic dresses. Blade, this season's it-bag is a briefcase-style clutch with detachable shoulder strap. It is available in crocodile, ostrich, luxurious lizard and galuchat leather. The hardware accompaning them are in gold or silver. The platform sandals combine leather and lame nappa of unique quality. The sky-high stilleto heels come in steel, which is as tough as our new free woman. A new you!

(he he he, that'll go down well with my new p0rn status, hey Mountainmama? 😉 )
The tiny terrorist was with me shopping today.
And they were putting out the Easter Eggs. On a stinking hot January day.
The kid was begging for one. Well, 1. you can't eat dairy and those sad-excuse-for-chocolate eggs only have one ingredient derived from nature and that is dried cow lactation and B. Christmas was like a freaking week ago!
On New Years Eve, when I was stocking up on my shit-load-of-junk-cause-I-am-alone-on-my-anniversary-AND-New-Years and wine I saw these:
And the florist is flogging Valentines Day shit.
This is insane.
Who in their right mind would buy Easter Eggs at this time of year? When the bastards would melt to a gooey mess before you even reached the car, let alone the river of freaking chocolate it would turn into before the car air conditioner kicks in.
And where would you keep them for Three. Freaking. Months. Dickhead?
And the true insanity? The thing that actually makes me want to scream because of the madness of it all?
The Christmas decorations are still up in the streets.
So while you are munching down on your overpriced, fake chocolate, you can look at all the purdy lights and Santa's.
As I said before.
Fuck me dead. The world is going to hell in an Easter basket. Might go to the shops and see if I can find me a Halloween costume for the ride.

|Ted Ligety of the United States of America skis in the slalom section on his way to victory in the men's super combined during the Alpine FIS Ski World Championships on February 11, 2013 in Schladming, Austria.
Ligety won the super-combined title Monday with a superb downhill and an equally impressive night slalom run under the lights on the icy Planai course, for a two-run time of 2 minutes, 56.96 seconds.
Ivica Kostelic of Croatia finished second, a distant 1.15 seconds behind, and Romed Baumann of host Austria took the bronze medal, 1.17 back, after leading the downhill leg.
Ligety is best known for his giant slalom skills, but he won the super-G that opened the championships. He'll be the overwhelming favorite for a third gold in Friday's GS, after winning four of the five World Cup races in the discipline so far this season.
Although he wasn't the last racer down, Ligety celebrated by skiing around in a circle in the finish area, then let out a series of fist pumps, knowing that it would be hard for anyone to match him.
"I've been on the World Cup for nine years now, so I know how to handle the pressure," said Ligety, who hails from Park City, Utah.
Ligety was the best positioned of the technical skiers after finishing the downhill in sixth place, only 0.72 behind Baumann.
"It's really a testament to my downhill this morning. It was awesome," Ligety said. "I knew I didn't have to push super hard in the slalom"
Ligety won the combined in the old format with two slalom runs at the 2006 Turin Olympics, but he had never finished on the podium before in super-combined.
Two-time defending champion Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway stood second after the downhill but straddled a gate in the slalom. The Norwegian, who won Saturday's downhill, said he hurt his knee slightly while pushing out of the start gate during his morning run.
Austrian veteran Benjamin Raich was well positioned after the downhill in 12th, but he also straddled a gate midway down his slalom run.
Alexis Pinturault of France, another pre-race favorite, was 22nd in the downhill, then had a wild slalom run. Midway down, Pinturault made a big mistake and an acrobatic recovery but still had the fastest slalom leg by a large margin to finish sixth overall.
Swiss racer Sandro Viletta finished fifth, narrowly avoiding disaster when a course worker skied onto the piste during his downhill run. Viletta managed to ski around the worker, who looked oblivious to what was going on until Viletta passed him at full speed.
The last American to win the combined title at worlds was Bode Miller in St. Moritz, Switzerland, in 2003. Miller, who also won the super-combi at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, is sitting out this season to recover from left knee surgery.
Ligety had the second-fastest slalom run on a course featuring gradients as steep as 52 percent after some frustrations in recent combined events.
Ligety had a super-combined podium finish in sight in Wengen, Switzerland, last month until his right ski slipped free two-thirds down his slalom run. And in the traditional combined in Kitzbuehel a few weeks ago, he missed a gate early in his first slalom run.
"It's been a long way coming," Ligety said. "When I heard (Kostelic) was only 0.19 ahead of a downhill skier, I knew that he must have put the brakes on a bit. I just tried to ski as smart as possible, have a solid run all the way down and not make too many mistakes. To see the green light at the bottom was a really sweet feeling."

Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who infamously resigned in disgrace after he was outed as Client No. 9, will have his second act as a co-host of a primetime news program on CNN.
The former "Sheriff of Wall Street," who later became known as the "Lov Gov," will be paired with the Pulitzer Prize-winning conservative columnist Kathleen Parker for a yet-to-be-named roundtable discussion show that will replace "Campbell Brown" in the lagging cable network's 8 p.m. slot.
"Other cable news channels force-feed viewers one narrow, predictable point of view; in contrast, CNN will be offering a lively roundup of all the best ideas – presented by two of the most intelligent and outspoken figures in the country," Jon Klein, president of CNN/U.S., said in a statement released by the network. "Eliot and Kathleen are beholden to no vested interest – in fact, quite the opposite: they are renowned for taking on the most powerful targets and most important causes."
The announcement is the culmination of Spitzer's self--reinvention as a media pundit after he resigned from office in March 2008 after admitting to dalliances with prostitutes while serving as New York's chief executive.
Check out a brief timeline of Spitzer's self-rehabilitation efforts over the last six months:
- May 2: Spitzer stopped by the 92nd Street Y to answer questions about politics and Wall Street, taking the opportunity to slam a host of political honchos, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg for his support of the financial industry, President Barack Obama's financial team for its cushiness with CEOs and Attorney General Andrew Cuomo for a general aversion to tough questions.
- April 24: Spitzer moves to the big screen. The much-anticipated documentary about the disgraced former New York governor premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. While Spitzer didn't attend the premiere, he made an appearance at the festival. And while the subject matter of the movie was, suffice it to say, less than aggrandizing, it flaunted Spitzer's name in the public sphere.
- April 8: Spitzer first hinted at a political comeback, saying he was in "unceasing agony" about how he left office two years ago. He also said he hadn't ruled out running for office again at some point, touting his love for politics before Fortune editor-at-large Peter Elkind in an exclusive interview. Elkind's book on Spitzer, published later that month, further resurrected Spitzer's public image -- for better and for worse.
- March 12: Gov. David Paterson endorses Spitzer's gubernatorial acumen. Sure, it may not be the best of endorsements, but it counts.
- Feb. 2: Spitzer takes the host seat on "The Colbert Report," coyly deflecting questions about running for office again while discussing the Wall Street crisis. He chuckles at Colbert's allusions to his illicit infidelity and remarks on how at least now he can tell the truth without worrying about political repercussions.
- Jan. 29: Spitzer gets personal. The former governor dishes on love, Gov. David Paterson, President Barack Obama and the Democratic party, lending insight into his personal views on romance and, gulp, relaying condolences to his former Lieutenant Governor for his plight.
- Jan. 10: Spitzer tears into Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's performance along with the Democratic power players he says are trying to protect her ahead of the next election. He called her views wishy-washy, at best, and urged the importance of making tough decisions on touch questions.

Extension:Header Tabs
|Header Tabs
Release status: stable
|Parser function, User interface
|Displays top-level headers as JavaScript-based tabs
|Latest version
|1.3 (January 2020)
|GNU General Public License 2.0 or later
Download extension
Git [?]:
Version history
|Wiki of the Month on semantic-mediawiki.org
|Translate the Header Tabs extension if it is available at translatewiki.net
|Check usage and version matrix.
The Header Tabs extension transforms top-level MediaWiki headers into tabs using the jQuery UI JavaScript library.
To enable tabs on a page after you installed the extension, you need to add a
<headertabs />
tag into the page in place where the last tab should end (everything below this tag will be shown under the tab view). Most of the time, though, you'll want to put it at the bottom of the page.
In addition to that, the page should have top-level headers defined in it like this:
= Header title =
Each such top-level header, if it's anywhere above the <headertabs/> tag, will be displayed as a tab.
Linking to tabs[edit]
You can link to a tab, both from another page and from within that same page (and, within that same page, both from another tab and from outside the tab view). This is done using the
{{#switchtablink}} parser function, which is called like this:
{{#switchtablink:Tab name|Link text|Page name}}
This will create a link to the tab with the name "Tab name", and the text of the link will read "Link text". If you want the link to a point to a tab on another page, you can optionally add the third parameter, "Page name".
Note: Multibyte characters was well as formatting characters e.g. bold is not permitted if you want to link to tabs in any way.
Some text above the tab view = First section header = This will be displayed on the first tab {{#switchtablink:Second section header|Click here to go to the next tab...}} = Second section header = This will be displayed on the second tab <headertabs/> = Third section header = This will be always displayed under the tab view because it's below the <headertabs/> tag.
The header titles get automatically converted into tab titles.
You can download the Header Tabs code, in .zip format, here.
You can also download the code directly via Git from the MediaWiki source code repository. From a command line, call the following:
git clone https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/EHET/extension-headertabs.git
To view the code online, including the version history for each file, go here.
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
HeaderTabsin your
- Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
wfLoadExtension( 'HeaderTabs' );
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Skin modification[edit]
To change the tabs' styling, see "Skin modification".
Configuration parameters[edit]
The following parameters can be modified in LocalSettings.php below the
$wgHeaderTabsUseHistory defines whether tab navigation should be tracked within the browser history and within the URL, updating the hash value. By default this variable is set to true, i.e. history is used. You can disable it by adding the following:
$wgHeaderTabsUseHistory = false;
$wgHeaderTabsRenderSingleTab variable defines if Header Tabs will activate if only a single top-level header is found. By default this variable is set to false, i.e. no tabs will be shown if only one top-level header is found. You can enable this behaviour by adding the following:
$wgHeaderTabsRenderSingleTab = true;
$wgHeaderTabsAutomaticNamespaces variable defines the set of namespaces for which you don't need to add the
<headertabs /> tag in order to enable tabs. If a namespace ID is defined in this variable, header tabs will activate automatically when you have two top-level headers (or one, if you have
$wgHeaderTabsRenderSingleTab set to true) in an article. By default this variable holds no namespaces. You can add namespaces to this list by adding the following for each namespace:
$wgHeaderTabsAutomaticNamespaces[] = NS_MAIN;
$wgHeaderTabsDefaultFirstTab variable defines whether Header Tabs puts any content before the first defined header and put it into its own tab. By default this variable is set to false. You can enable this behavior by adding the default name using the following:
$wgHeaderTabsDefaultFirstTab = 'DefaultTabName';
If using this setting, be careful not to enable
$wgHeaderTabsRenderSingleTab as it will lead to tabs appearing in other parts of the UI.
$wgHeaderTabsDisableDefaultToc variable defines whether Header Tabs will disable the MediaWiki article's table of contents (TOC) when tabs are enabled for a given article. This saves you the trouble of having to add
__NOTOC__ to your article. If tabs are not enabled because of a lack of top-level headers, the table of contents will appear as usual. By default this variable is set to true, i.e. the MediaWiki TOC is disabled if header tabs are shown. You can disable this behavior by adding the following:
$wgHeaderTabsDisableDefaultToc = false;
$wgHeaderTabsGenerateTabTocs variable defines if Header Tabs will try to generate a TOC for each tab. By default this variable is set to false, i.e. no tab TOCs will be generated. You can enable this behavior by adding the following:
$wgHeaderTabsGenerateTabTocs = true;
$wgHeaderTabsEditTabLink variable defines if Header Tabs will add a edit link to the right of the tabs which let you edit only the tabs' text. By default this variable is set to true, i.e. a edit link for the tab will be shown. You can disable this behavior by adding the following:
$wgHeaderTabsEditTabLink = false;
$wgHeaderTabsStyle variable defines what visual style is used for the tabs. By default this variable is set to 'large'. You can change the style by adding the following:
$wgHeaderTabsStyle = 'style-name';
Styles included with the extension are:
|The basic styling provided by MediaWiki - it makes text smaller and links black.
|The default style. It makes the text normal-size and turns links blue (or red) again.
|Similar formatting to the "large" style, but without most of the borders and background colors, so that the only real change to the page is the tabs themselves.
|More Timeless-like tabs, with normal sized text, blue links, and shiny tabs.
A wider selection of user-made styles as well as information about how to create your own styles is on our /Skin modification page.
Version history[edit]
To see a list of changes for each version, see version history. For a list of features planned for future releases, please see roadmap.
Known limitations and issues[edit]
- You cannot use the tag more than once. In other words, a second tag will not produce a second series of tabs.
- Tabs render on top of infoboxes in Chrome.
- Header Tabs will not work with the HTML Tidy tool, i.e. if $wgTidyConfig is populated.
Incompatible extensions and skins[edit]
Header Tabs does not seem to work when used alongside the following extensions:
- MathJax - when the two are used together, it leads to faulty HTML, which results in a broken display in at least the Firefox web browser. (Things might have changed as MathJax has been updated.) You can disable MathJax on specific pages by adding __NOMATHJAX__.
- AddThis (or the Widget) - only the first tab is shown
- FancyBoxThumbs - same as AddThis.
- MobileFrontend- same as AddThis.
- SectionHide - incompatible due to both extensions altering section behavior. SectionHide now includes an automatic check that will inform the user that the extension does not work with Header Tabs.
- Echo - seems to cause display problems with Header Tabs.
- Tweeki - Skin Tweeki breaks the layout and hide the text of the tabs
Sections appearing outside the tabbed section[edit]
Header Tabs sections which include floated objects (such as infoboxes) may appear outside the tabs container if other content does not force the container to be large enough to hold the floated object. One resolution to this problem is to place a cleared html element at the very end of each section. A simple, but not best-practice, means of doing this is:

This forces this element to be considered by the browser after your floated object and thus will grow the container to fit both.
The best way to seek help with this extension is to send questions to the mediawiki-l mailing list. The extension maintainers, and active users and contributors, are on this list and will be able to help you.

OTTAWA - Trouble in Canada's anemic jobs market continued into July as a paltry 200 jobs were added during the month, falling spectacularly short of expectations.
Economists has expected the economy to bounce back from the unexpected 9,400 decline in June by adding around 20,000 new jobs.
Canada's unemployment rate dropped one-tenth of a point to 7.0 per cent for the month, but that's only because 35,400 people stopped looking for work.
The participation rate, which tracks how many people are actively searching for jobs, declined to 65.9 per cent from 66.1 per cent in June. That's the lowest it's been since late 2001, BMO senior economist Benjamin Reitzes noted in a report.
Over the past 12 months, the economy has added 115,300 new jobs — or 0.7 per cent of the labour force — with all the growth in part-time work.
Between June and July, the number of full-time jobs fell by 59,700 while part-time jobs increased by 60,000.
"Canada is rapidly becoming a nation of part-timers," said Paul Ashworth, chief North American economist at Capital Economics in Toronto.
"Over the past 12 months, full-time employment has actually declined by a cumulative 3,100, while part-time employment has increased by 118,500."
Most of the month's job losses came in construction, health care and social assistance. However, employment in educational services and in information, culture and recreation rose in July.
The majority of new jobs were concentrated among people between the ages of 15 and 24, Statistics Canada says, while there were losses among people aged 55 and older.
Regionally, Newfoundland and Labrador and Manitoba were the only provinces to show job growth, while employment fell in New Brunswick. The rest of the provinces remained mostly unchanged.

Hey Slimsy, Guodmundr handled your request before I got into the office to do so .
On another note...would you mind eventually transferring your choose your own adventure to ink writer and then making that available? I'm quite busy with a number of real life and community duties, and would love to get into your fiction at my own pace (like one of those novels/books you could read). I'm not familiar with Inklewriter myself since I haven't tried it. But I think it would be so cool if we could turn it into something like davemo's battle planner which people can access as they like
Hello friends! My Banner Saga gamer tag is Bold Brendan, hope to see you on the battlefield (horns pointed down please)!

Seagate 5GB Pocket Hard Drive full review
If there's one thing there's an excess of these days, it's stuff. Video, music, photos, interactive flash games and amusing clips we've found on the internet - we clog up our hard drives and removable media with it.
So what should you do with all of your photos and music tracks, not to mention that PDF-based portfolio of products you want to show your clients? Drag a notebook or portable hard drive around town with you, or use up precious space on your MP3 hard drive? You'd probably prefer something a bit more compact. Something like Seagate's 5GB Pocket Hard Drive, perhaps. It supports USB 2.0, so shouldn't need drivers. Extra functions allow you to import audio playlists - the drive is recognised by Windows Media Player - and to encrypt sensitive documents.
Swivel the black part to reveal a short connector; plug it in and your computer will identify the drive, flashing blue to indicate everything's working as it should. We copied 1.6GB of mixed graphics, photo and general office documents from the drive in nine minutes and eight seconds.
The drive requires juice, so it needs to be attached directly to your notebook or tower. This isn't an issue for notebook users, as USB ports tend to be accessible, while many desktops have convenient front-mounted ports, but some people may have to reach behind to plug it in, so have a USB extender cable handy if that's you.
Seagate won an innovation award for this drive at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Other than the short cable, our only real criticism is that its casing is plastic, and its logic board is visible.
Seagate 5GB Pocket Hard Drive: Specs
- 5GB USB 2.0 external hard drive
- backwards-compatible with USB 1.1 devices
- encryption software and multimedia management tools
- drivers for Windows 98
- driverless operation with other versions of Windows and Mac OS 9.2.2 and above

Wildlife Conservation Network
The Wildlife Conservation Network (WCN) supports independent conservationists who are working actively with local communities to protect endangered wildlife and preserve their natural habitats. WCN carefully selects and partners with conservationists in Africa and beyond who are exploring new ways to resolve conflicts between people and wildlife. They focus on protecting key "indicator species" for which success requires preservation of entire ecosystems. Ultimately, our conservationists seek to withdraw from the region, having developed within local communities the capacity to carry on their conservation work and create new strategies that are culturally compatible and meet the evolving needs of the area.
Exemplifying the creativity and community impact of our conservationists' work, the Painted Dog Conservation project in Zimbabwe has turned a deadly threat to wildlife into a successful entrepreneurial venture for local people. They employ local men as anti-poaching scouts. Patrolling approximately 12 miles a day, 6 days a week, the anti-poaching teams have dismantled more than 12,000 snares used to kill wildlife. At a nearby arts center, talented local artists transform the snare wire into impressive animal structures. Sold worldwide, the sculptures provide financial security for the artists and communicate the critical need to protect Africa's remaining painted dogs and other wildlife. WCN also focuses on protecting the elephant in Kenya, cheetah in Namibia and Botswana, okapi in the DRC, Grevy's zebra in Kenya, lion in Mozambique and Kenya, and Ethiopian wolf.

Cancer is a disease of the genes. Most cancers develop as a result of genetic damage or a change (mutation) that happens sometime during a person's lifetime. These are called sporadic cancers. This means they occur by chance. These types of mutations only affect the cells that grow from the original mutated cell. Cancers that result from DNA damage that is passed on are called hereditary cancers. These cancers tend to run in families. They cause hereditary cancer syndromes. But overall only about 5% to 10% of all breast cancers are hereditary. If you are believed to be at risk for a hereditary cancer syndrome, genetic testing can be helpful. It can be used to look for the gene changes linked to these syndromes.
The risk of developing cancer is higher in people who are born with certain genetic changes (mutations) that are passed on from their parents and found in every cell in their body. These changes are in areas of the DNA that affect cell division, cell death, and the repair of damaged DNA.
Genes are pieces of DNA. They determine how your body looks, grows, and works. But environmental factors influence the true outcome. For example, a woman might have the genetic potential to be 6 feet tall. But if she has poor nutrition as a child, she may not reach that potential. Or a woman may have a genetic risk of developing breast cancer. But whether she develops it may be influenced by environmental exposures she has during her lifetime.
Genes come in pairs. One pair is passed down (inherited) from your mother and the other pair from your father. Genetic risks and outcomes can come from either parent.
A number of genetic problems or defects can result in an increased risk for breast cancer. The most common defects are found on genes named BRCA1 (breast cancer gene 1) and BRCA2 (breast cancer gene 2). A woman who has inherited a harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 is at higher risk of developing breast cancer (and some other types of cancer) than a woman who does not have such a mutation. Still, not all women with BRCA 1 or 2 mutations develop breast cancer. And not all women with breast cancer have these mutations. Environmental factors can influence a person's cancer risk, just as they influence things such as height.
These are some of the more common gene mutations that are linked to cancer syndromes and can be found with genetic testing:
APC genemutations. These can cause familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). This syndrome causes colon polyps, colon and small intestine cancer, and cancers of the stomach, bone, skin, brain, and other tissues.
BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 gene mutations. These are linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. These mutations can put a person at an increased risk for breast (in both men and women), ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancer.
MSH2, MLH1, MSH6, PMS2, and PMS2 gene changes. These can cause Lynch Syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer). This is linked to many different kinds of cancer, including those that start in the colon, rectum, endometrium, ovary, kidney, pancreas, small intestine, liver and biliary tract, stomach, brain, and breast.
PTEN gene changes. These cause Cowden syndrome. This is linked to breast, thyroid, endometrium, ovarian, and other cancers.
TP53 and CHEK2 gene mutations. These cause Li-Fraumeni syndrome. They are also linked to an increased risk of many cancer types, including breast cancer, sarcoma, leukemia, and brain tumors.
There are other rare gene mutations that can cause inherited breast cancer, too.
Genetic testing for cancer should strongly be considered in people with all of the following:
A personal or family history that suggests a hereditary cancer syndrome is present, such as:
Cancers have been found at unusually young ages
Several close relatives who have had the same kind of cancer
One person has had multiple types of cancer
Cancer has been diagnosed in both organs when organs are found in pairs, such as both breasts or both kidneys
There's evidence of other birth defects that are linked to certain cancer syndromes
Other family members have been tested and have genetic mutations that are linked to cancer
A genetic test is available and has been proven to be accurate
The results of testing can help the person make decisions about medical care
It's strongly recommended that anyone considering genetic testing first talk to a professional about it. It's important to understand the limitations of genetic testing and how the test results might be used before getting tested. You also need to discuss the costs and whether your health insurance will help pay for testing.
If you are considering genetic testing for cancer risks, you face many complex issues. If you test positive, you may face difficult decisions about treatments to prevent cancer. You may have increased fear and anxiety about developing cancer. You may have concerns about losing your health insurance coverage. If you test negative, you may also face difficult challenges, such as survivor guilt, if other family members have tested positive.
However, if you are anxious or considering treatments such as preventive surgery based on your family history, having the results may be very helpful. Because of these issues, you should seek genetic counseling before, during, and after any genetic testing. Remember, genetic testing cannot tell you everything about inherited cancers. A positive result does not always mean you will develop cancer, in most cases other factors are involved. In the same way, a negative result does not mean you won't get cancer. Genetic counselors can talk to you about what a particular test will or will not tell you, and can help you decide whether to get tested.
In most cases, a blood sample is needed to do genetic testing, but sometimes saliva, skin cells, or cells swabbed from the inside of the cheek can be used. The sample is sent to a lab where the actual testing is done. It usually takes a few weeks to get the results.
You will meet with the genetic counselor to go over the results and figure out what they mean for you and your family.

Bang & Olufsen Headphones Let You Rock Out in Style
B&O Play Headphones
Bang & Olufsen is shouting louder in the headphone space with new earbud and over-the-ear designs. Aimed at a younger crowd, the headphones are under its growing B&O Play brand.
The two models are the H6 and H3. While the larger H6 is meant to satisfy those looking for a Beats alternative, the H3 earbuds have a ported design that's designed to fit snugly, even for active users. Both models incorporate passive noise cancellation as well as volume controls.
B&O says it had extreme standards for both design and acoustics. The H6 has lambskin earcups with a leather-lined headband. The earcups also contain memory foam, which B&O says will ensure comfort even for extended listening. The sides and frame are solid aluminum.
The H6 has a bonus feature: Both earcups have a headphone jack. That means not only can you connect the supplied cable with either ear, but you can also "daisy chain" a second listener to share whatever you're listening to. B&O says the feature was designed to be used with other H6 headphones but couldn't rule out that it would work with other earphones.
The H3 earbuds obviously have smaller drivers than the H6, but each bud has 23 ports to improve bass response. The removable soft inserts are made of a material to ensure a snug fit, even if the user is moving (so no worries if you want to wear them to the gym).
I got a little ears-on time with the H6 and H3 at B&O's store in Soho, New York City, and the H6 was very comfortable to wear. It played various tracks — including the pop-jazz notes of Holly Cole and harder rock of Metallica — with great precision. The H3 earbuds really impressed me, though, with excellent isolation, sound and comfort were. They also stayed in my ears even when I moved to try to make them fall out — top marks.
The new headphones will be in stores by July, B&O says. The H6 costs $399 and comes in either black or tan leather — the latter looks amazing. The H3 costs $249 and comes in black, silver or statement-making maroon.
How do you like the new B&O Play headphones? Let us know in the comments.

Midtown East Is Not a Bakery Wasteland: Honey Pumpkin Cake From Dishes
Your daily dose of something sweet.
If you work in Midtown East you probably know that high quality bakeries are in short supply. Dishes, the breakfast- and lunch-only take-out restaurant is the rare exception. They have their own in-house baker who prepares a variety of excellent items every day, including a fantastic blueberry quinoa muffin and very good sugar-free, morning glory muffin.
Dishes also shines when it comes to simple, seasonal items that are executed well. Their Honey Pumpkin Cake ($2.75), for instance, is superb.
This cake is lightly sweetened and has the distinct aroma of honey. The entire large slice is also very uniform with a smooth, dense texture, like that of a good pound cake. Though the cake has a strong pumpkin flavor, there's no pumpkin pulp, walnuts, or any other ingredients that lend any texture. So don't expect the earthy, nutty, Vermont-bake-sale version of this cake.
A thin layer of buttery frosting adds mild sweetness to make this the perfect fall dessert.
