On the Street….Quilted Coat, London

He looks HOT. LOVE British boys.
so cute
I suppose I've never been a fan of it because it just reminds me of something that goes up on a wall in a diner. : (
sooo true. he wears this well.
that is quite a whole new take on the typical quilted jacket. It looks classy but at the same time casual and is at the same time practical as it is a "hunter's" jacket.
guess it's time to take our mine from the closet and prepare for the next season.
I'm a fan of quilted jackets always have been…I think of a sky resort and cold weather loving beings…I do think the fit should be stream line like the one you captured…
i don't know….it still looks like an old ladies'coat.
"The cool way to wear it" ?
He's just wearing it.
I see nothing that makes it beyond…a quilted coat.
I want it.
I like it. cute.
He definitely OWNS the jacket. You are right about that!
Lovely look. Traditional and yet terribly cool.
i think the secret is his haircut
He really does make it cool!
What Pablo said…that is an awesome haircut.
And what Holly said. This jacket is thin enough to avoid the Michelin Man look, and carefully tailored. It also fits him well. Look at where the shoulder seam is on his body. The length…both of the body and of the sleeve.
Wonder how this would look in say an Aubergine??? Or a deep, rusty Burnt Sienna???
I'm with Jax the first commenter. It's the hair + the blue eyes + the nose + the upturned collar — it all says $$$
His haircut is much better than the jacket. What do they call those things in Britain? Anoraks?
This is how these jackets are worn by many bankers in London (me including), over a suit, as a great travel jacket that does not crease, hence you can stuff it in overhead compartment while on the plane, or in your bag when it gets warmer. When it rains, it protects your usually expensive suit from getting wet etc.
Then, upon returning home, you can wear it with jeans and take your dog for a walk, wearing (you, not the dog) the same jacket… So versatile.
HOTTTT maaannnnnnnn. prefer to see him in a denim jackt a la beach boys …this ones a bit euro-bourgeois.
This is most probably a Barbour jacket. They've become incredibly popular here in Britain over the last year or two. They've gone from a mostly rural, upper-class thing associated with fox hunting to something worn by young men in almost every city.
"Quilted jackets and coats have gotten such a bad rep as favorite clothes of London real estate agents."
this lad is executing the 'mayfair private equity' look to a T. Not really that interesting though?
He definitely pulls off the quilted jacket! i find that they can look a bit cheesy but yes there are a select few that can turn make it look rather chic!
Here is a link to mine, i have some pretty interesting fashion illustrations and interviews with new up and coming male models! so take a look and if u feel inclined comment
i've always loved these even though pretty much everyone hip thinks they are horrendous.
I had two huskeys , one in green and other in brown. confortable, practise and clean.
Is very confotable in warm season or warm weather.
I remember going to Sweden and wearing my quilted jacket and feeling out of place. The only other people that wore them there were old ladies.
I still like mine but I will not wear it next time I go to Sweden.
I love quilted things…quilted leather Chanel purses are the best. So classy and gorgeous!
he is cute, but he isnt wearing it in a really cool way or anything. cute guy with a coat on.
In Sweden/Denmark the preppy/posh look with a quilt jacket is very popular. So it's quite a usual sight here. Come to Copenhagen this AW and you will see (Oh and Scott if you do get by, please give a call) ;-)
I think it's the navy Barbour (Lightweight) Liddesdale Jacket.
In Germany it's quite the same. Typical fencing students' fraternity look. Nothing special about it.
I think he looks darn cute. I would totally go for him. Hell, I am inspired to go look for a coat just like that now.
Among whom have quilted coats gotten a bad rep.? They're practical, tasteful, and timeless, like a pea coat or a leather bomber jacket.
This fellow is very handsome. Black suits him well. I might have felt the urge to throw on a red or purple cashmere scarf, but he shows us that it would be too much.
snore, these barbours have been done to death in london for about 3 years.
Absolutely, this has been done so much it's being cashed in on by Topshop et al
i love quilted things because of the texture. i also think his collar up is a sharp touch, but other than that, it does seem rather ordinary.
He's handsome and young, so he can wear anything. But let's face it, quilted coats are very Bernie Madoff at this point – he has villainized them!
Great jacket, the collar is wonderful.
I'm not sure if he's showing "the cool way to wear it" or just happens to be young and very handsome, that's all…
fantastic photo as a photo! but i think quilted coats are too much for middle-age women from land's end. theyre a bit too "im wearing this because it has thinsulate and is warm" to me
VERY common in Oslo. :) And we love it.
Old? Stuffy? I must be old and stuffy because – to me – these jackets look very smart. I own one and am looking to buy another.
Quilted jackets remind me of the self-important business students at uni, whose parents funded their extravagant lifestyles and bad habbits…
Always been a fan of quilted jackets, anyone know where i could get one like this? Only one I know is the Barbour Liddesdale and it's not the one i'm looking for.
There are lot of these in Britain just now. I have one to cut shorter and more funky (Barbour Chelsea)
I'm sorry, but from a (mainland) European standpoint, a quilted jacket is NEVER cool. Ever. Yuck!
flybynightkarmarepair – in aubergine or burnt sienna it would look like a granny outfit. Trust me.

The Barbour jacket has certainly left its upper class roots behind – or is at least trying to. This time last year every Brick Lane zombie had this lightweight padded version. Even the wax Barbour hunting jacket became popular, Rokit in Shoreditch sold vintage ones at an astronomical ÂŁ100. Some hush hush PR work and very clever product placement (Alexa Chung Glastonbury 08) can be thanked for this. Topshop have caught on (a couple of seasons late as per) and are selling cheap knock offs for a/w 09.
not a chance
This is what's hot here in norway!
You should take your time to come here.
People here are more fashionable then sweden and denmark. In other words. Most fashionable city in scandinavia;)
Quilted coats have been cool in London for so long it pains me, Alexa Chung has worn one for years. No 'bad rep' here, or if there is one its due to number of Hoxtonites wearing these attempting to be cool. Posh kids reclaiming a posh coat as part of a scruffy look – its all rather annoying.
it only looks good cuz he looks good. that jacket would look dowdy on another man.
really not interesting, not hip, not cool.
Living as I do in the North East of England I may be seen as being behind the times, but I love a good Barbour quilted jacket.
"snore, these barbours have been done to death in london for about 3 years." – I hate this sort of view point, it narks me in music and it narks me just as equally with fashion. Yes, fashion is constantly changing and evolving, but I think a few staples remain timeless. It doesn't matter that loads of other people have been wearing them for a long time previously, if something looks good, I'll keep wearing it long after the fad for wearing it has died down. I'm so gauche.
I have a very nice grey-blue Mackintosh. when my least fashionable friend made fun of me for wearing it I knew I was on the right track.
I'm not sure about the quilted jacket. I recently bought one and I get lots of positive reactions but I still have my doubts. Maybe it's just an old ladies jacket.
"Always been a fan of quilted jackets, anyone know where i could get one like this? Only one I know is the Barbour Liddesdale and it's not the one i'm looking for."
Ralph Lauren does a version with contrast colour piping on the seams.
Quilted coats are NEVER stylish..they are so boring as to be rendered passe…
Love the quilted jacket, a classic. But the bad rep in UK is flip side, it's the adoption of the jacket by Chavs, that has been it's downfall.
Looks like a typically hot Nordic guy who works in Private Equity or at a Hedge Fund (Blackberry in hand is a give-away). A common sight in the Hedge fund and Private Equity "Clubland" of Mayfair & St James'. British bankers don't tend to wear these coats that much in the City (I worked at a British stockbrokers this year) unless they're older and usually the coats are a bit more battered. His hair is too tame for a junior M&A banker. It is very much a "Eurotrash does Sloane Square" look as us British bankers would call it.
Quilted coats just tag someone as 'English' to me, i love them

This exhibition celebrates the centenary of the birth of prominent art dealer Julien Levy (1906–1981), one of the most influential and colorful proponents of modern art and photography and an impassioned champion of Surrealism, with a survey of his collection of photographs. Levy's lifelong devotion to the art of photography is represented in more than 230 photographs, many of which are being exhibited for the first time in more than five decades. In conjunction with the exhibition, the Museum is presenting a series of films made by artists affiliated with the Julien Levy Gallery.

Exhibition Minutes
A centenary survey of Levy's collection…
Arthur Gerlach, Samuel Gottscho, William Rittase, Thurman Rotan, and Luke Swank. Levy's collection also includes a cache of ephemeral pictures of every sort, from bygone celebrity portraits and press photos to film stills and everyday snapshots. While he honored the tradition of serious artistic work fostered by Alfred Stieglitz and others, these photographs clearly show he also valued anonymous images and "found objects." Another of Levy's interests—applied photography—is represented in the exhibition in several of its aspects. Examples are on view from the selection of photomurals he organized for the Museum of Modern Art's 1932 exhibition Murals by American Painters and Photographers. Levy also developed a sample line of household products decorated with photographic designs—including wastebaskets, lamps, and cigarette boxes—with the idea of providing images for textiles and a variety of manufactured goods. Other images were presumably made for advertising or graphic design use, and while their intended context may be lost to us, they stand alone as strong images. One of Levy's most famous exhibitions at the gallery was the 1932 show Surréalisme (at the time, he felt that the word could not be translated properly into English). Levy's offering of Surrealist works, the first to be presented in New York, included paintings, objects, journals, and photographs. While some of the photographs were by artists closely affiliated with the Surrealist movement in Europe, Levy added pieces by those he considered American Surrealists and by others whose work he felt resonated with Surrealist ideas.
"Surrealism is a point of view, and as such applies to painting, literature, play, behaviour, politics, architecture, photography, and cinema." — Julien Levy, Surrealism, 1936
SponsorsThe exhibition and the accompanying book, co-published with Yale University Press, are made possible by The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation with additional support from Furthermore: a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund. The book is also supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Fund for Scholarly Publications.

I posted a great video on my Tumblr which I would never post on my Facebook:
It's a guitarist shredding along to "Bangarang" by Skrillex. I wouldn't post it to Facebook because on Facebook I've got high school friends who I know from Spotify are listening to Skrillex, as well as rave scene friends from when I lived in San Francisco. I don't actually know their opinions on Skrillex for a fact, but if I had to guess I'd assume a certain disdain, because some of my old rave scene friends are hard techno purists, as well as huge music hipsters, who distrust popular music, grow bored very quickly, and knew about dubstep years before Skrillex. In fact, I heard some extremely early proto-dubstep records in London in 2000, and I probably wasn't the only one of this particular group of friends to do so -- which means at least a few of us knew about dubstep a decade before Skrillex.
My old rave scene music hipster friends would probably hate that video for the same reason my musically naive high school friends would love it: Skrillex built huge, phenomenal success on a style which is essentially a join table pulling columns from both rock music and rave music. Posting something like that on Facebook could mire me in a situation where I'm trying to get two utterly disparate groups of friends to get along with each other, despite having utterly opposite opinions, and despite the fact that I haven't seen any of them in years. Total waste of time.
It reminds me of an old Why the Lucky Stiff quote:
when you don't create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. your tastes only narrow & exclude people. so create.
I bring this up because I saw an otherwise great presentation at LA RubyConf which featured a staggering number of catty remarks about almost every other language but Ruby. The only exception I remember is Smalltalk, which got the kind of reverence you sometimes see when the Ruby community talks about Smalltalk. I used to be pretty excited about Smalltalk too, but I distrust exclusionary reverence. I also remember buying an old Mac Mini from an LA Rubyist who collects so much weird old computer stuff he's like a tech historian. One item in his collection: a staid, dull, lifeless manual for IBM Smalltalk, one of the most bland corporate documents I've ever seen in my life, and a strong counterpoint to the Ruby community's small but vocal "Smalltalk was the best thing ever" cult.
A few years ago, Rails was as crazy hot shit as Skrillex is today. But in 2012, a Hacker News post asked this question:
Which one should I learn deeper, Node.JS/Express.JS or Ruby on Rails?
Many offered positions asks for Rails knowledge but looks like Node is getting a nice spot in Web development for the very near future
In other words, should I learn the dominant paradigm, which will make it easier to get a job, or the new hotness?
We all know what the opposite of new hotness is.
And indeed the Hacker News thread features this response:
Rails is over. It's a bloated meta framework that requires enormous amounts of peripheral knowledge to understand.
You should take anything you read on Hacker News with a grain of salt, if you take it at all, but what does it mean for Rails to be over? It doesn't make sense at all if you look at Rails as an application development framework, but if you look at it as a fashion trend or a party, it makes perfect sense. Rails was the height of fashion a few years ago, which made for a quite a party, but it isn't any more.
People decry the degree to which tech is a fashion-driven industry, but there's a reason for it. As Smalltalk creator Alan Kay said, "Once you have something that grows faster than education grows, you're always going to get a pop culture."
Rails is old and busted; Node.js is the new hotness. But people hate Node.js because of "the hype." This amuses me, because the only things I know about the hype around Node.js come from people who hate Node for that hype.
I'm not surprised to hear that Node is bratty. When Rails was Node's age, it was bratty as hell. RailsConf 2007 featured incredible tech, but to me it also felt like the epicenter of the world's most powerful douchequake. I ignored Rails douchery then, as much as I could, and recommend doing the same with Node now. Here's why.
The sulky, bratty teenage Rails had three big things it made fun of the Java old folks for: design patterns, the JVM's long startup time, and overly ceremonial code which had nothing to do with the day-to-day experience of writing web apps. Today Rails has a startup time which is so long, the Rails community actually created Spork, a gem which keeps your Rails environment alive between test runs, because otherwise it's hard to use TDD with Rails. Rails tests can take so long to run that by the time a test run completes, you're liable to forget what you were doing, and, in fact, your name. The Rails community mocked design patterns relentlessly when it was Node's age, but look at how ActiveRecord::Base hijacks
inherited and you'll realize that this:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base; end
really means this:
User = ActiveRecord::Base.new
kind of like this:
User = Struct.new(:username)
We use a bizarre, convoluted mechanism for attaching
ClassMethods and
InstanceMethods modules to
ActiveRecord::Base because if we attempt to subclass it in a gem, we don't get a subclass in the purest sense. What we actually get is a new class which
ActiveRecord::Base creates.
ActiveRecord::Base is an
ActiveRecordClassFactory in denial.
And as for overly ceremonial code, let me tell you about my balls. I actually have a
rake task to scratch my balls. Somebody told me a good entrepreneurial programmer writes code to scratch their own itch, and I took them literally. The code uses a serial port to power an Arduino board. The Arduino's got a servo with a backscratcher attached. I keep it on a shelf at scrotum height underneath my desk.
I literally need to type
bundle exec every single time I want to scratch my balls. I don't like having to type
bundle exec every single time I scratch my balls. I named the task
balls, so I can type
rake balls, because it rakes my balls, and Bundler pisses all over my tidy syntax, but am I going to complain? Am I going to point out that asking me to type
bundle exec every time I want to scratch my own balls shows incredible contempt for me as a user, particularly considering that the whole reason I'm a user of this particular thing is because I work in a language which was designed to optimize for programmer happiness? Of course not. It's not productive or helpful to say that, so I simply type
bundle exec rake balls and scratch my balls in sullen silence.
bundle exec every single time I want to scratch my balls is the epitome of the overly ceremonial code which Rails defined itself against from 2005 to 2007. The Rails community has become everything it used to make fun of. Despite that, it's also managed to utterly transform web development for the better, and not just in Ruby, but in nearly every language. When Rails was new, it sprouted clones in other languages on an almost daily basis, and now that it's matured, the outsider response has matured as well. You don't see a new Rails clone in a new non-Ruby language every Tuesday like you used to in 2006, but you do see the Rails community implementing code generators, convention over configuration, and tidy routers every time they venture into unknown territory, and CoffeeScript took obvious inspiration from both Ruby and Rails in making developer happiness a priority.
Consequently, I think listening to Node.js hype at all is foolish. It's just not worth having an opinion about. It leads to a foolish brattiness in those who believe it and an equally foolish hostility in those who harp on its flaws. Hype is hype. It's bullshit. Let it go. Node will change course to accomodate all its critics sooner or later, just like Rails did, and in the meantime there's a lot of exciting work going on. People are building very interesting things, and the browser landscape is changing so fast that by the time Node grows up a little, web development will be an entirely different world.
This was true of Rails, too, and it's what made Rails fun when Rails was a party, and what makes Rails powerful and useful today, now that it's only a tool.
However, going back to the Why the Lucky Stiff quote, it's pointless hating on Rails for not being as fashionable as it was. It's possible to see Rails as a fashion trend which has run its course, but it's actually a lot more intuitive to see it as a useful tool for building things. But there you also run into some problems. Let's take "Rails is over" out of the equation, but revisit that Hacker News comment:
Rails is... a bloated meta framework that requires enormous amounts of peripheral knowledge to understand.
The first thing this reminds me of is an inane rant which called Rails "pants on head retarded." I can't recommend this rant, because a large number of its criticisms apply only to how the official documentation instructs you to use Rails, not how serious, well-known, best-of-breed Rails developers actually use it (except of course for DHH). I think the "enormous amounts of peripheral knowledge" criticism is dead on. Chief among this vast range of peripheral knowledge: knowing the difference between what the Rails documentation says Rails developers do, and what Rails developers actually do.
For instance, I don't think anybody but DHH and maybe one or two other members of Rails core really use Rails tests the way Rails says you're supposed to. I don't think anybody but DHH and maybe one or two other members of Rails core even takes the official Rails approach to testing seriously at all. Rails unit tests aren't really unit tests, Rails integration tests aren't really integration tests, and Rails functional tests aren't really functional tests. Most people create a
spec directory, install RSpec, and throw all that other bullshit away. So it's kind of a waste of time for an anti-Rails rant to go on and on and on about the clothes we politely agree to pretend our emperor is wearing.
The "old" part of "old and busted" is not really worth thinking about. "Old hotness" means "classic." But "busted" is something to address, and there's busted shit in Rails. Consider what happens if you set up your Gemfile without
source :rubygems on the first line:
Your Gemfile doesn't have any sources. You can add one with a line like 'source :rubygems'
Are you fucking kidding me?
This is what Google's "Did you mean" functionality would look like if the Bundler team had implemented it:
Bundler makes dependency management much, much less painful than before, but because
source :rubygems isn't the default, even though Bundler knows it should be, Bundler also fails completely at convention over configuration. I don't mean like, "that isn't perfect." I mean "grade F, you cannot graduate, you have to repeat this year." Like the way you would fail at wearing clothes if you showed up to work at the office in your underwear, and nothing but your underwear, and your underwear wasn't even clean.
Bundler isn't the only problem. With Rails 3, Rails went off the rails.
The link's ironic; it takes you to a gigantic page full of things you have to do before you can start writing your app.
Consider this discussion:
You can read the whole thing here if you want. I'm just going to give you some excerpts.
To paraphrase Jose here, Rails 1 and 2 were releases for application developers. Rails 3 was a release for plugin creators and maintenance programmers. This is cool, but building application frameworks without application developers as the primary audience was one of the things Rails made fun of Java for in 2006. Jose's a member of Rails core, and he wrote a terrific book which showcases the incredible power of Rails 3's newer, more modular APIs, but there are times when tweets speak louder than books.
Ward Cunningham is kind of a big deal.
My answer to the Hacker News guy who wanted to know if he should learn Node or Rails is the same answer he'd get from Jeremy Ashkenas: learn Node. (Actually, I can't speak for Jeremy, but I'd say learn both, but prioritize Node over Rails.) There are times when it's fun to be a partyhopper, and the music next door is better right now. It's more important to learn Node.js, CoffeeScript, and Backbone these days, because the work going on in those communities changes paradigms. The work going on in Rails is mostly just tidying up after the paradigm-changing work which used to go on in Rails -- except that Rails 3 introduced as many rough edges as it removed.
Speaking of rough edges, the browser is turning into the operating system. If you're on a new version of Chrome, you can already play with in-browser drum machines, as well as filters, compressors, and synthesizers. You'll risk crashing your browser now, but it's going to be pretty awesome pretty soon. It's also likely mobile apps are going to make web apps look pretty dated, and Node is better poised to take advantage of this than Rails is.
Also, when you're learning something, you want to have fun. Rails is still useful, but it's no longer exciting. Although there's a ton of awesome all over the place, there's also some "what the fuck were they thinking?" here and there. Fixing that shit isn't fun. If you're looking to do work you can get excited about, it's Clojure, Scala, or Node.js. Clojure and Scala both run on top of Java, which holds horrible memories for me, while Node.js involves a language I've mostly had a lot of fun with, despite its frequent idiocy. CoffeeScript is far from perfect, but it's a joy to use, because it reduces JavaScript's WAT factor down to a tolerable level of mild background noise.
Rails just isn't the future any more; it's the past.
Although I think you can get much better jobs with Node.js than you can with Rails these days, I'm much more interested in creating my own projects, and I'm having more fun with Node.js there as well. So I'm creating a series of videos which use making music to teach Node, CoffeeScript, Backbone, Socket.io, and most importantly of all, jasmine-node, a Node.js port of the Jasmine BDD library for JavaScript. With jasmine-node, you can run your specs server-side most or all of the time (depending on factors I'll explain in these videos), and the payoff is fucking awesome.
Going back to the topic of JavaScript drum machines, I wrote a library in Ruby called Archaeopteryx. It's a combination MIDI interface, drum machine, and probabilistic breakbeat improviser. I've started to rewrite it in CoffeeScript. The new version is called Clyde, and the code's much cleaner.
I've also already cooked up some really fun hacks.
I chose the name Clyde partly because I got way too many questions about how to pronounce Archaeopteryx, but mostly after legendary drummer Clyde Stubblefield -- not just a funky drummer, but THE funky drummer James Brown was singing about -- who coincidentally will be SPEAKING at Madison RubyConf this year, the same conference where I last year freaked out at a panel for saying you don't have to test JavaScript. I can't even describe how excited I am for that.
To be fair, Ari Russo wrote a fantastic MIDI library in Ruby called Unimidi, which looks better than anything I ever did, but I'm sticking with JavaScript for this project. This is partly because investing my time in this language looks wiser today than investing it in Ruby (especially since I'd be repeating stuff I already did in Ruby), and partly because of bona fide technological superiority.
Clyde isn't just easier to pronounce. A lot of people complained that Archaeopteryx was hard to read. Clyde, although still very much a work in progress, is already much simpler to read. First, I had to snag a lot of low-level MIDI interface stuff for Archaeopteryx from a great book by Topher Cyll called Practical Ruby Projects. (Ben Bleything later rewrote it, creating a cleaner interface library called MIDIator.) To set up MIDI for Clyde, however, I just installed a great Node.js library and wrote some really simple code. Archaeopteryx also devotes a bunch of code to implementing an equivalent to JavaScript's
setTimeout(), and aliases Ruby's
lambda to
L so that it can freely assign methods to objects, the same way you can pass functions around in JavaScript.
JavaScript's basically a better language for this type of project, because Archaeopteryx uses a lot of hacks to make Ruby work like JavaScript, and while JavaScript itself is hideous to read, CoffeeScript is so beautiful it sometimes even makes Ruby look clunky.
My tech reviewers have also found Clyde's techniques easy to copy in Garageband, which means anyone with a Mac will be able to get Clyde working very quickly, whereas I had a lot of people puzzled out of their minds trying to get Archaeopteryx to work on their machines. An open source project which only works for the guy who wrote it is no use at all.
Because my videos are going to be a fun way to learn about cutting-edge technologies, I'm pretty excited about them. They may in fact become the best, most exciting and engaging way to learn modern JavaScript development. I think it's important for software development training to be fun, because I want to inspire people to come up with their own hacks, because you learn most when you're paying the most attention, and because this idea is built into the language hackers use: when we explore a technology, we say we've been playing with it. I'm releasing my first video for free tomorrow afternoon, so check back here Friday to see it.
Since this blog post is to some extent an ad for these videos, and truth in advertising is important, I want to confess that I don't really have a
rake task to scratch my balls. However, it still feels as if I have to type
bundle exec whenever I want to scratch them, and that feels like the kind of horseshit a cursory knowledge of Unix environment variables and paths could resolve. (To rant even further about Bundler, if you type
bundle && foo, you never get to
foo; it appears Bundler doesn't even support status codes.)
Going back to the larger issue, Rails definitely went off the rails. Cleaner, more modular APIs are an important goal, but they're way less important than speedy development, a modern feature set -- why is Rails not staying up to date with HTML5 the way it did with Ajax? -- and, above all else, programmer happiness. The Merb integration rewrite was a giant, time-wasting threadjack with only a few small payoffs, and DHH, who wrote two whole books about why you should turn down feature requests, should have nixed the whole thing. I'm still going to keep using Rails, because it's still a terrific framework, and I still enjoy it a great deal, but I think it's absolutely fair to say that Rails 3 is a step backwards from Rails 2, and that Bundler, although very useful, is clearly not even close to finished. They say they're at version 1.0, but I don't think they're fooling anybody.
Update: Yehuda Katz from the Bundler team and Rails core sent me this helpful gist:
Update: Yehuda's apologized for the phrasing, and the point he raises is in fact completely valid. Meanwhile, I've created eight episodes of a video series on making music with CoffeeScript and Node.js. The first two are free.

Bundesliga Preview: Nuremberg still fighting
Strugglers Nuremberg will fight to the very end as they aim to avoid relegation from the Bundesliga.
Nuremberg sit second from bottom in the standings after Sunday's 4-1 drubbing at the hands of UEFA Champions League hopefuls Bayer Leverkusen.
After four consecutive defeats, Gertjan Verbeek's men are one point adrift of the relegation play-off spot and five short of safety with three games remaining.
But with a trip to seventh-placed Mainz coming up on Saturday, Argentinean defender Javier Pinola says the club have not consigned themselves to second-tier football next season.
"We don't have many points," said the 31-year-old. "But we don't need to talk about this much.
"We have to seize these last three games, fight until the death and not give up.
"The experienced players must pick up the team again. We shouldn't let our heads slip."
Nuremberg, who have conceded 13 goals from their past four games, will take heart from the fact that they are unbeaten in two games against Mainz.
Fellow relegation candidates Eintracht Braunschweig and Hamburg are also facing a defining weekend as they look to avoid the drop.
Braunschweig are at the foot of the table after back-to-back defeats left them on 25 points ahead of their clash against Hertha Berlin.
Hamburg occupy the relegation play-off position and are away to high-flying Augsburg, knowing a win would move them within a point of safety if Stuttgart lose to 14-placed Hannover.
In other fixtures across the weekend, second-placed Borussia Dortmund can do arch-rivals Schalke a favour if they beat Bayern Leverkusen.
Schalke are clinging onto the final automatic qualifying spot for next season's UEFA Champions League, four points ahead of Leverkusen.
If Schalke suffer defeat at home to fellow European hopefuls Borussia Monchengladbach, their buffer would be cut to one point on the back of a Leverkusen triumph.
Champions Bayern Munich are at home to Werder Bremen, who are nine points clear of the danger zone having collected seven points from a possible 12.
Elsewhere, Freiburg are on the road against in-form Wolfsburg, while Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt go head-to-head.

'13 House immigration vote unlikely
House Republican leadership has no plans to vote on any immigration reform legislation before the end the year.
The House has just 19 days in session before the end of 2013, and there are a number of reasons why immigration reform is stalled this year.
Story Continued Below
Following the fiscal battles last month, the internal political dynamics are tenuous within the House Republican Conference. A growing chorus of GOP lawmakers and aides are intensely skeptical that any of the party's preferred piecemeal immigration bills can garner the support 217 Republicans — they would need that if Democrats didn't lend their votes. Republican leadership doesn't see anyone coalescing around a single plan, according to sources across GOP leadership. Leadership also says skepticism of President Barack Obama within the House Republican Conference is at a high, and that's fueled a desire to stay out of a negotiating process with the Senate. Republicans fear getting jammed.
( WATCH: Barack Obama on immigration: 'Let's do it now')
Of course, the dynamics could change. Some, including Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), are eager to pass something before the end of the year. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has signaled publicly that he would like to move forward in 2013 on an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws. If Republicans win some Democratic support on piecemeal bills, they could move forward this year. But still, anything that makes its way to the floor needs to have significant House Republican support
And Obama is also ramping up his messaging on immigration reform. "It's good for our economy, it's good for our national security, it's good for our people, and we should do it this year," Obama said Thursday. That same afternoon his chief of staff Denis McDonough met with business CEOs to strategize on immigration reform. Attendees included representatives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers.
Getting immigration through this deeply divided Congress in 2014 — an election year — would be incredibly difficult. That's why immigration reform supporters are growing increasingly worried that the window for a bigger reform package could be slipping away since it would be even more difficult to try and forge ahead in an election year.
( Also on POLITICO: Darrell Issa to introduce immigration bill)
"I think there are a lot of folks who are concerned about this issue not getting solved, and I think legitimately so," Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) told POLITICO. "Because I do think that every day that goes by, it makes it more and more difficult."
Other prominent immigration supporters like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) have also backed off any deal, saying the Obama administration has "undermined" negotiations by not defunding his signature health care law. Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) went further, saying Obama is trying to "destroy the Republican Party" and that GOP leaders would be "crazy" to enter into talks with Obama.
That rhetoric combined with signals in private conversations with lawmakers and staff has led some immigration advocates to say they see the writing on the wall and they aren't going to invest heavily until there's more momentum.
( PHOTOS: Immigration reform rally on the National Mall)
"After Obama poisoned the well in the fiscal showdown and [House Minority Leader Nancy] Pelosi now is actively trying to use immigration as a political weapon, the chances for substantive reforms, unfortunately, seem all but gone," said one GOP operative involved in the conservative pro-immigration movement.

NORDIAZEPAM interactions, While not officially launched, the beta available now (go here to sign up to get access) is a smooth running beast of a social app for Android 2.0+.
TweetDeck has evolved a bit from being just a Twitter client, NORDIAZEPAM mg, allowing you to add columns for your Facebook, Ordering NORDIAZEPAM online, FourSquare, Google Buzz and such. The Android version evolves even further, throwing all of your updates into a blended "Home" column, BUY NORDIAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION. The "Me" tab shows you what your friends on your social networks are saying about you, NORDIAZEPAM price, be it replies, NORDIAZEPAM over the counter, likes, or comments.
Also new in the Android version is a completely redesigned UI thats streamlined to look exquisitely minimal (while being useful) on a mobile display, NORDIAZEPAM brand name. New things are tinged yellow, NORDIAZEPAM description, and the timeline of your stream sits out of the way in the header bar. Four buttons on the bottom give you access to the main features. BUY NORDIAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION, The post button lets you toggle the update page. Toggle the social networks you want to ping and tweet, purchase NORDIAZEPAM online no prescription, photo post, Buy NORDIAZEPAM from canada, or geotag away.
TweetDeck's "sending notification" is very cool and very Android; instead of posting a pop up or even a loading icon, the Tweetdeck developers took the option to send the uploading msg to the Android notication pane, buy NORDIAZEPAM from mexico, allowing the user to hit send and immediately get back to his "networking."
TweetDeck seems to think you have at least 12 friends that you would like quick access to, Comprar en línea NORDIAZEPAM, comprar NORDIAZEPAM baratos, and gives you 12 slots to plug them in. TweetDeck also takes it upon itself to add your own accounts to the quick access panel which is nice for a narcissist like me.
Checking out a tweet leads you to three easy to tap buttons to fave or retort and if you feel that strongly about it, NORDIAZEPAM cost, a map that shows just where you can go and smack that bitch in the face.

The map spews everything local and Foursquare sorta lives here (and Buzz. Didn't test that account but I reckon yea.) Nice execution.
Interesting fact, NORDIAZEPAM from canada, the Menu button only works on the home page, Is NORDIAZEPAM safe, where you can refresh, access your accounts ( you can't delete accounts yet.), or manage your columns, purchase NORDIAZEPAM online, and turn on/off notifications. One setting I wish TweetDeck for Android had was a sync setting, it looks like it pulls every five minutes. BUY NORDIAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION, Android says it uses about 5% of the battery...
Other than that, Im really impressed with this Android app. This is a fine example of an application built well, designed with effort, and heading in the right direction in user interfaces. I sincerely hope people try to emulate this look. There's definitely a few bugs, but still far more stable than even some Google apps. --|tweetdeck.com|.

Houston Astros Tickets
Houston Astros Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
The Astros are delighting their fans and sneaking up on the baseball world by entering contention much quicker than expected. The 'Stros pack a power punch up and down the lineup, from young five-tool outfielder George Springer to utility infielder Luis Valbuena. They're almost all in a prime age of late 20s. The ages of the pitching staff vary a bit more, but they're an interesting combination of veterans like Scott Feldman and late-blooming youth like Dallas Keuchel and Collin McHugh. With Luke Gregerson in the bullpen, they've brought in veteran excellence and a stable closer, something they haven't had for a couple years. On paper they don't seem to have enough to win through an entire season, but at the same time they weren't expected to be contenders at this point of their rebuilding process. The Houston Astros play at Minute Maid Park in downtown Houston. As far their on-field play, their move to the AL was near the time of their hitting rock bottom. 2013, their first season in the AL, saw their last of three consecutive 100-loss seasons, making them the first team to do that since the Royals of the early 2000s. But the tides began to turn in 2014 with 70-92 record, and a hot start to 2015 emphasizes how far they've come. They're looking for their first winning season since 2008 and first playoff berth since losing the World Series in 2005. Minute Maid Park is one of the coolest parks in the league with air-conditioned comfort or open-air retractable roof, the train on the left field wall, the Crawford Boxes in left field, Tal's Hill in center, and just a unique vibe that keeps fly balls interesting.

Seattle News and Social Media
As part of an on-going research study I've been monitoring and comparing all sorts of different media sources ranging from public television, stock markets, and local Seattle news.
One of the interesting examples I can share for the local community happens to be the local news scene, an interesting mixture of news and syndication channels that covers multiple television channel partners, dozens of new personalities, hot topics, and both real-world and online syndication channels.
To help connect this with the 'big picture' I'm going to work through some of the bullet points I'm researching. This article will open up some "food for thought" and I'll discuss some of the significance of this type of research and how the process overlaps with other business models.
The three Seattle news stations I chose to include in this review were

Update on ETrade Bank and the Transfer of Customers' Savings Accounts
Not all of ETrade Bank's Complete Savings Account customers are being moved to Discover Bank. As I mentioned on February 9th, I and many others received an email from ETrade Bank informing us that our Complete Savings Accounts will be transferred to Discover Bank's Online Savings Accounts on March 7, 2010. I only have the Complete Savings Account, but many readers who also have ETrade's brokerage accounts have reported not being notified of this move. This Chicago Tribune article confirms that ETrade is "selling only accounts that have no ongoing brokerage relationship with the company." I just called ETrade Bank, and the CSR confirmed this. Only some Complete Savings Accounts are being transferred, and all Max-Rate Checking Accounts will remain at ETrade Bank.
As we've seen with ETrade Bank's very low deposit rates, ETrade Bank has been implementing a strategy to reduce its deposits. I just hope customers who have CDs at ETrade Bank don't let them automatically renew. A customer who lets his 1-year CD automatically renew may end up with a 1-year CD paying 0.10% (that's one-tenth of one percent).
I was just going to let my ETrade Complete Savings Account be transferred on March 7th. However, after seeing Jim's post at Bargaineering about how to close an ETrade account, I think I'll just close it before then. I plan to transfer out the remaining balance at ETrade Bank, and then send a secure message instructing them to close the Complete Savings Account.
For me there's no sense in having ETrade Bank transfer the little bit of money that I have in the account to Discover Bank. I don't need a new account there. I just recently opened the Discover Bank online savings account so that I could review Discover's new online banking center. Those who plan to let their accounts be transferred should be relatively happy about Discover Bank. From what I could see, Discover's new account center has all the functionality of ETrade's. The only downside appears to be slower ACH transfers.

DNCB (Dinitrochlorobenzene)

- Why Did People With HIV Use DNCB?
- How Was DNCB Used?
- What Are the Side Effects?

What Is DNCB?
Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) is a chemical used in color photography processing. DNCB is a "contact sensitizer," which means that it causes an itchy red rash similar to poison oak or poison ivy. Some health care providers have used DNCB to measure the strength of the immune system: the greater the skin reaction to DNCB, and the faster it shows up, the stronger the immune response.
What Are the Benefits of DNCB?
Some researchers and community activists proposed that when DNCB is applied to the skin once a week, it stimulates the immune system to control HIV replication and delay opportunistic infections. Some research shows that DNCB leads to increases in CD8 (T-killer or T-8) cells. These cells are an important part of the immune system.
There is almost no good research on DNCB. Some studies suggest that DNCB decreases the number of CD4 (T-helper or T4) cells. However, a recent study did show some reduction of viral load.
Why Did People With HIV Use DNCB?
Research on DNCB shows that it stimulates the immune system. It has been used to treat skin lesions caused by Kaposi's sarcoma (KS).
Advocates of DNCB claimed that it could clear up all symptoms of HIV disease, except for pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP). DNCB's supporters claimed that antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) were bad for the immune system. Despite dropping death rates from AIDS and many research reports, they argued that ARVs did not lead to longer life or a better quality of life for people with HIV disease. They used civil disobedience to promote their point of view that AIDS medications are poison and should not be used.
A small group of activists formerly known as DNCB Now! was the main supporter of this therapy. The group was also known as ACT UP San Francisco. It is not connected with any other ACT UP groups around the world. It seems to have disbanded.
How Was DNCB Used?
DNCB is available as a liquid solution in four strengths: 10%, 2%, 0.2%, and 0.02%. The solution was applied on the skin once a week to a 2-inch square area. Then the area was bandaged and kept dry for 10 hours. After the first skin response (a red, itchy rash), the strength of the DNCB solution was lowered.
Instructions for using DNCB originally provided by DNCB Now! say that most other therapies could prevent it from working. This included long-term acupuncture, most herbs if used for more than a few days, high doses of vitamins, and ARVs.
These controversial instructions made it difficult for most people to try to use DNCB, especially since there is almost no research to support its use.
What Are the Side Effects?
The first application of DNCB may produce a chemical "burn" in addition to the normal itchy rash. The rash occurs each time DNCB is applied and lasts for a few days. Some people have persistent scarring or rashes where they apply DNCB. It may also cause sensitivity to other chemicals.
No other side effects have been reported. However, DNCB has not been carefully studied in any large clinical trials. Long-term side effects are unknown, although one study suggested that DNCB might cause cancer.
How Does DNCB Interact With Other Therapies?
DNCB advocates believed that almost every other HIV therapy reduced the action of DNCB. They did not recommend the use of any ARVs, high-dose vitamins, or more than short-term use of most herbs or acupuncture.
How Do We Know It Works?
There is very little research to support the benefits of DNCB and no recent research. No study on DNCB has started with more than 24 patients, and many patients dropped out of the studies. However, some studies continued for over two years. DNCB seems to restore immune responses in the skin that are lost as AIDS develops. These skin responses may not be a good indicator of overall immune health. Because DNCB is very inexpensive and cannot be patented, it is very difficult to find a sponsor to pay for clinical trials.
The Bottom Line
DNCB is a "contact sensitizer" that stimulates one part of the immune system. There is almost no research to support its use. However, there used to be a small group of AIDS activists called ACT UP San Francisco that strongly supported the use of DNCB.

Abuse isn't just about bruises. Not all forms of abuse leave bruises where we can see them,Domestic Violence Resource Centre in 2018 . Although physical abuse is terrifying and needs to be addressed immediately there are other forms of abuse that can cause significant damage. One type of abuse that is very difficult for outsiders to detect is financial abuse. Marriage should be a partnership but when one spouse completely dominates the finances to the point that the other spouse has no control and no options financial abuse may be occurring.
What Are Signs of Potential Financial Abuse?
Every married couple handles their finances differently. In some cases one spouse handles the majority of the finances. They manage the accounts, pay the bills and deal with creditors. That does not by itself equal financial abuse.
Financial abuse occurs when one spouse is treated like an irresponsible child and Domestic Violence News Story . They are cut off from funds and their knowledge about the couple's finances is severely limited. Some signs of financial abuse include:
•Strict Allowances. This isn't an amount that the spouses have agreed to limit themselves to but is instead a set amount that is grudgingly handed out from one spouse to the other and is all that will be given.
Documents, documents, documents. Written evidence is incredibly strong and can range from credit card bills showing that there is a credit card but that you aren't named on it to emails from your spouse that show the financial abuse.
Other witnesses can be incredibly powerful on your behalf. Financial abuse is hard for people outside the relationship to detect. So when someone credible comes in and tells the judge that it is happening and they can see it the judge will listen and Domestic Violence Examples .
Domestic Violence Resource Centre in 2018 ?
Domestic Violence charges are treated differently than most other criminal cases because from the outset of the charge, not the conviction, it is very likely that you will have your home and your children taken from you. We are supposed to have a criminal system where you are innocent until proven guilty but as you will discover that is not the case with Domestic Violence charges. This survival guide will help explain the system you're up against and how to get through it.
- Do not plead guilty at Arraignment. Arraignment is the first formal court appearance in a criminal case. During this hearing, you will be formally notified of the criminal charge against you and given the opportunity to plead guilty or not guilty. DO NOT PLEAD GUILTY! This is obvious in cases where you do not believe you've done anything wrong but is also true in cases where you do think you've done something wrong. There is no benefit in pleading guilty up front but there may be costs in doing so.
Some inexperienced people mistakenly believe that if they plead guilty at arraignment, they will get a lighter sentence than if they plead guilty later. This is incorrect. The reverse is much more common; you will likely get sentenced harder if you plead guilty up front.
If you decide to plead guilty later, the Judge will not use the fact that you pled not guilty initially against you. By pleading not guilty at Arraignment, what you are really saying to the Judge is that you want a chance to see what evidence the Prosecutor has and if you feel it is sufficient to prove your guilt then you want a chance to negotiate with the Prosecutor for a better outcome.
- Pre-Trial No Contact Orders. In most criminal cases, a Judge will issue an order directing the Defendant not have any contact with the alleged victim. In Domestic Violence cases, that order can be extended to the victim's home, place of work, and children. These orders are issued before there is a finding of guilt and can render a Defendant homeless. If you work at the same place as your spouse then you might just find yourself out of a job too. Whether or not the children were involved with the incident, you can be prohibited from seeing them.
Stipulated Orders of Continuance / Pre-Trial Diversion Agreements
These are contracts, nothing more. You make an agreement with the Prosecutor's Office to do (and not do) certain things, like entering a Domestic Violence Treatment Program and stay out of trouble. If you comply with the contract, the case is dismissed.
Reduced Charge
It is often possible to get a Domestic Violence charge re-filed as a different, less serious, charge. The factors involved are: the facts of the current case, the Defendant's criminal history, and the position of the alleged victim. Examples of reduced charges are: Disorderly Conduct or Simple Assault without the DV tag.
- Only the State can bring criminal charges. With any criminal charge, including Domestic Violence, only the State can bring the charge - not the alleged victim in your case. This means that even if the person labeled "victim" wants the No Contact Order or the entire case to simply go away, they don't have the power to dismiss it; only the Prosecutor does
- Joint Bank Accounts. Be aware that some Victims Advocates are advising alleged victims to drain joint bank accounts. This advice leaves Defendants in the impossible position of becoming suddenly homeless due to the no contact order and penniless.
- Gun Rights. Conviction for a crime labeled Domestic Violence will forfeit your rights to own or possess firearm for the rest of your life. This is true even in cases where no gun was used, threatened, mentioned or even owned by the defendant.
Because of the nature of Domestic Violence charges, you need to find an attorney that understands the complexity of these charges and what you can do about them. If you have questions specific to your case, please give me a call. I do not charge money for an initial consultation and I can answer many questions over the phone or via email.

Abuse: What Causes Abuse?
Children have that right to be loved. But there are those who suffer child abuse in the very sense of the word. Child abuse could either be physical, mental or sexual abuse to children. This might have certain adverse effects on the child so they must be given extra support and attention.
Physical abuse concerns maltreatments of children in a physical way. This means hurting the children physically, or not giving them proper nutrition. Emotional abuse or mental abuse, on the other hand, is about abuse in children which affects primarily their emotions. This includes saying hurtful words to children, as well as scolding them often that lower their self esteem. Sexual abuse, however, is abuse that concerns the sexual attributes of a child. This is one of the worst cases of child abuse.
Child Abuse Treatments
Most of the children who have experienced child abuse have traumas, especially those who were involved in sexual abuse. For cases like this, psycho therapies are being done to address the problem of the concerned child. Teaching proper parenting to children is also a program involved in treating, as well as preventing child abuse.
Child abuse is a matter that needs utmost attention since it involves the future generation of this world. This could be prevented by having family planning seminars to parents which would invoke them to take care of their children more. There are also certain organizations like UNICEF which specializes in treating such problems. Children are important part of the society, so utmost love and care should be given to them.

Do you or should you use such phrases and words despite being Atheist? I'm not sure, but I am very guilty of using them anyways, mainly cause of the culture I grew up with in the US. A smidgen of me enjoys knowing that it is meaningless to me but pokes at the offending religion that is Christianity. I really should be a better person and just drop them from my vocabulary completely, yet I have the thought that it would just look like I am justifying or giving power to that religion over me. Your thoughts?

Mark Twain was given to swearing and his wife tried to cure him of it by starting to use foul language herself. He told her: "You've got the words, but not the tune."
The computer is the most frequent object of my swearing, but it doesn't seem to take it to heart. That could be an attractive new feature—a computer that cringes when you curse it out.
Sam Clemens has always been one of my heroes. You've cited one example amongst thousands that keep him at the top of my list.
When I get to Hell, I'm going to request a room next to his, goddamit!
Melinda, are you from Delphi? I was El Judio Bravo there and I knew a Melinda in the atheist forums.
He's a big hero for me too. Antiwar in wartime, antiracist in a racist era, critical of religion.
Sam Clemens could be plucked from his own time to ours and not bat an eye.
Then he'd take a good look around, analyze what he could see, and say, "Goddamit! You imbeciles, for all your pretty toys, haven't learned a fucking thing!"
He truly owned "a pen warmed in Hell". :-)
Actually, I kind of enjoy dropping the odd, "Oh, my stars and planets!" It keeps people's attention and no one can possibly accuse me of profanity.
Why, bless my buttons! They may kiss my big fat Hebrew haunches if they do!
Tangential to this discussion is a usage—common in the South in my experience, but nowhere else—to denigrate another person's foolish opinion or belief without reflecting on the person. For example you might hear something like the following:
She believes—God bless her—that her husband is coming back to her.
He thinks—God bless him—that his business is succeeding.
Is anyone else familiar with this usage? I found it charming and amusing. (God bless me.)
I've only heard it in the movies and also find it amusing. Same with "bless her heart", as B Brion mentioned.
I've heard both in Alabama along with a few other expressions new to me such as grandbabies and the war of northern aggression.
"Grandbabies" is becoming standard U.S. slang through the vehicle of Black English, the chief enricher, IMO, of everyday English as she is spoke.
The "War of Northern Aggression"? OH! The "War of Southern Rebellion!" LOL! ;-)
Six o' one, a half-dozen of t' other'n.
I've heard of something similar from the South, that you can say the nastiest things about someone as long as you say "bless his/her heart". Like, 'That guy is a f**king douchebag, bless his heart.'
Me and my husband use that one often, though jokingly.
Being a fuckin' douchebag is no joke. Oy!

Welcome to the glamorous world of What Katie Did. We specialise in recreating beautiful vintage lingerie from the 1940s and 1950s. In our early days we just sold Seamed and Fully Fashioned Stockings but over the years our collection has grown to include just about every piece of vintage lingerie you could wish for.
One of the first pieces we recreated was our iconic circle stitch Bullet Bra. We kept true to the original designs of the 1950s and although we knew women on the vintage scene would appreciate a well fitting bullet bra, didn't expect them to be popular outside our little circle. 15 years later our bullet bras have been worn by everyone from Rihanna, to Katy Perry, to the queen of the bullet bra herself, Madonna! In 2016 we took our bullet bra back to the drawing board, completely regrading it for an improved fit, especially for the larger cup sizes that the original 1950s bullet bra didn't cater for.
Suspender Belts are also very close to our hearts. We truly believe that stockings are superior to tights but what makes all the difference is a great suspender belt. Our suspender belts are designed by women who wear our belts and nylons daily. Although our suspender belts all look deliciously vintage, it's the fit and comfort that we really focus on. There's no need to keep stockings for special occasions if you're wearing one of our suspender belts.
What Katie Did have been designing corsets for well over a decade, and founder Katie Thomas has been working in the corset industry since 1995: well before the current trend for waist training. Her extensive experience both in design, and as a daily tight lacer herself, has allowed us to build up a collection of corsets to suit several individual body shapes, from modern figures, to natural 1950s hourglass shapes.
Our stockings are famous worldwide, not just in the vintage fashion world, but in mainstream fashion magazines and on the silver screen. When it comes to sourcing reproduction vintage lingerie and hosiery that could pass for the real thing, then costume departments frequently turn to What Katie Did. Currently our Glamour Seamed Stockings can be seen in Netflix's 'The Queen' and 'Allied' starring Marion Cotillard.

Creating an Out of this World Online Gaming Experience with a Cisco Network
Online gaming is big business. In fact, according to Strategy Analytics, the mass multiplayer online (MMO) game industry is estimated to be a US $8 billion dollar industry by 2014. To be successful in this market, game developers must push the envelope, creating extraordinarily detailed game worlds and more realistic game play. Sluggish rendering and slow response times are the enemy. The network acts as the beachhead in ensuring a stellar game play experience.
En Masse Entertainment, a Seattle-based online gaming company, took a good hard look at the network when it came to the launch of TERA, a new massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
TERA is a visually breathtaking game that takes place within a vast fantasy world and offers an innovative combat experience with enhanced aiming, dodging, and tactical timing to create an intense and rewarding experience. This level of experience requires an infrastructure that can deliver high-network bandwidth and extreme processing power. That's why En Masse turned to Cisco partner, MTM Technologies to build a network infrastructure to support the launch of this highly anticipated game.
Watch as Markus Schweig, Network Operations Director at En Masse discusses the process of building a network infrastructure to support TERA.
The resulting infrastructure delivered by MTM included core routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, and servers that seamlessly communicate with the network.

Usually, you need to decide your plan for the game based only on few small things:
- type of the map;
- the opponent race (Zerg, Protoss, Terram, Random).
You need to begin implementing your strategy on the 11-12 of supply. The only option to receive any information about player till that time is scouting with 6-7th worker (that is seldom reasonable thing).
So after building (or beginning to build) your first spawning pool/barrack/gateway you already should decide:
- for Zerg: gas+speedlings OR FE OR 6 pool (Zerg player should do decision earlier, as 6 pool is also often viable strategy);
- for Terran: 2nd rax OR gas+2nd rax OR gas+factory;
- for Protoss: 2nd gateway OR gas+core.
What are key factors to make strategy for match?
Any other thoughts are welcome!

LibraryThing ReviewUser Review - BrianFannin - LibraryThing
Nice book, mostly owing to its focus on the particular concerns of expectant fathers. The subject of birth and parenting is most often regarded as an issue which only holds interest for women. If you're a man who disagrees with that, you'll find the book very empowering. Read full review

There was a problem rendering this video - it may have been deleted.
Lift Labs has created a specially designed spoon that uses camera stabilizing technology to adapt to tremors cause by Parkinson's Disease which allows those how suffer from the condition to eat more easily.
The Liftware system is designed for people whose hand tremor interferes with activities of daily living (ADLs). Typically, these hand tremors are caused by a medical condition such as Essential Tremor or Parkinson's Disease. Sensors in the Liftware handle detect a person's tremor, and the device responds using motors to move the spoon opposite the tremor. The spoon can discern motion from hand tremor from other types of motion, allowing it to respond to just the tremor while preserving the user's intended motion. In contrast to braces, which force a user's hand to be still and can cause patient discomfort, Liftware allows the patient's hand to shake while stabilizing food in the spoon.
