One Componibili, Five Ways
Over the past few years, we've moved three times, a process that's helped to clarify which pieces of furniture are flexible enough to find their niche no matter where we land. The Componibili is one of those easy adapters and, although we've featured it on Apartment Therapy before, we've never actually shown how it adapts.
Designed by Anna Castelli Ferrieri in 1968, it's a modular stacking system made from ABS plastic. In addition to being durable and easy to clean, it just looks cool. It's got a mod, Kubrick-esque 2001 kind of vibe. Prices start around $100 for one module.
- 1 In our old home, we used a white, 3-comparment Componibili as a bedside table.
- 2 Before that, it was a freestanding sock drawer in our closet.
- 3 Now we use it for cord and gadget storage next to our record player.
- 4 Jack uses his under the kitchen sink. It's also useful in the bathroom.
- 5 In an entryway or hall, a stacked Componibili provides extra storage.

love it. my only concern: does the plastic stay white or does it yellow or grey with age?
I have one, for a year, and love it. It's so easy, to move or store things. MIne is still white, dont know long term what happens. I would definitely get another, some day.....
We move around a lot too and have had 2 of these in silver. As you've demonstrated, it is a versatile piece to have around. We love ours. Currently we use ours as bedside tables to store the stack of books we're trying to get through. They've also been used in the entryway as a place to drop off keys, mails and coins; in the living room as a home phone holder and next to our sofa as a drink stand.
Polish Chick,
I have had one for about three years now, and the plastic, which is beige, hasn't changed color.
$100 for a piece of plastic. Yes, it looks awesome, but.....
The white ones yellow with age eventually. My MIL has one she bought in the early 70s, and it's parchment color now. But it's sure held up to a lot of use -- almost 40 years.
This looks like a great upgrade from the 3 drawer tupperware bin I currently use for socks and such. It looks like they have doors that slide open. Would all of my socks come tumbling out? Could someone who has one tell me?
Can we say new cat heaven! They would love these!!!
Have the three doors one. White. And I love it.
Kartell produces it also in black, red and silver.
We have one in our son's room and it's come in really handy for things like stroller rain covers, extra toys, and swaddle blankets. It started life as a bathroom caddy, migrated to our bedroom, then moved over to Fionn's nursery. I love Ikea and Container Store, but this has lasted much longer than anything from either of those places. http://gallery.apartmenttherapy.com/photo/oh-daleynursery/item/69517
The white ones will start to turn color much faster than the 40 years implied. I can't tell you how fast, but I know that I've seen ones about 15 years old and there's been discoloration. The problem for me was that it was not uniform -- some parts were deeply disolored (to a light yellow-gold), some less so, and some still "white" (if not bright white). Still, they are so versatile, easy to move, and classic, it's hard to argue against them. So what if twenty years from now you'll want to move them to a softly lit spot!
it's made out of ABS so over time regardless of environment, the plastic will yellow. it's unfortunate because they can control that with a simple additive in the plastic during production ... still a beautiful piece and want to purchase one asap.

Back in the late 1970s, someone had the bright idea of publishing a paper with nothing but classified ads. It was called Den Blå Avis, and Denmark loved it. Fast-forward to 1995, when the Internet was just beginning to take off. Den Blå Avis boldly launched a classifieds site (www.dba.dk) that soon became wildly popular.
In 2008, we joined eBay. Today, DBA is the number one classifieds site in Denmark with more than 14 million visits a month and 1.2 million users. The simple format of DBA makes it incredibly easy for users to buy or sell just about anything from smart phones, design furniture, branded kid's clothing or even finding the perfect house or flat anywhere in Denmark. There are always 1 million different listings to choose from on the website.
DBA is accessible from both a computer and iPhone.

Natural Factors - Apple Cider Vinegar 500 mg. - 180 Capsules
Natural Factors Apple Cider Vinegar offers a wide variety of health-promoting benefits. This all-natural tonic cleanses the body of toxins, promotes good blood circulation, helps improve digestion and helps lower the body's storage of fat. Optimize your healthy well-being by taking Apple Cider Vinegar in the convenient form of a capsule.All Natural Factors products are manufactured in accordance with the Government of Canada's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), among the highest standards in the world.
Natural Factors priority is enhancing people's health.
Factor Farms:A quality herbal product starts with the highest quality fresh organic plant material. The efficacy of herbal products has always been affected by growing conditions, harvesting, processing and storage. At Factor Farms in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada our quality can be guaranteed as we control the entire process from seedling to finished product.
To grow herbs organically no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides are allowed. We use only natural substances that have been approved by the organic industry. You can be assured that the fresh herb extracts contain no traces of unwanted chemical. Even the seed and plant sources are organic.
To be organically certified, certification inspectors work closely with growers to ensure that the organic standards are adhered to. We must keep detailed records of what we use on our farm. Even after harvest, processing is regulated so that no harmful chemicals are used to manufacture the fresh herb extracts. Local cultivation of medicinal herbs at Factors Farms ensures that the herbs are picked, processed, and extracted at just the right time when the active ingredients are at their peak.
Natural Factor knows that the natural habitats of many herbs are shrinking and that over-harvesting from the wild can endanger native medicinal plant populations. So organic cultivation of herbs is preferred over "wild crafting".

Definition of octopus in English:
octopusSyllabification: oc·to·pus
Pronunciation: /ˈäktəpəs /
noun (plural octopuses)
A cephalopod mollusk with eight sucker-bearing arms, a soft saclike body, strong beaklike jaws, and no internal shell.
- Order Octopoda, class Cephalopoda: Octopus and other genera
More example sentences
- He compares the octopus to the other cephalopods - cuttlefish, crayfish, and the like.
- The harbor seal's diet consists of fish, cephalopods, such as octopus and squid, and crustaceans.
- Cephalopods, the octopus, the squid and cuttlefish are the main groups, I think.
mid 18th century: modern Latin, from Greek oktōpous (see also Octopoda).
The standard plural in English of octopus is octopuses. However, the word octopus comes from Greek, and the Greek plural form octopodes is still occasionally used. The plural form octopi is mistakenly formed according to rules for Latin plurals, and is therefore incorrect.
- More example sentences
- What possible justification does this vast octopoid expanse have, other than the exercise of American power?
- Wolugo was motionless, except for a faint movement of the fleshy flaps deep within the recesses of her mantle cavity, back of the octopoid head.
- The Oluas were a bizarre octopoid race with Squid heads and tall grey bodies.

virtual server
A server, usually a Web server, that shares computer resources with other virtual servers. In this context, the virtual part simply means that it is not a dedicated server-- that is, the entire computer is not dedicated to running the server software.
Virtual Web servers are a very popular way of providing low-cost web hosting services. Instead of requiring a separate computer for each server, dozens of virtual servers can co-reside on the same computer. In most cases, performance is not affected and each web site behaves as if it is being served by a dedicated server. However, if too many virtual servers reside on the same computer, or if one virtual server starts hogging resources, Web pages will be delivered more slowly.
Also see the Server Types page in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia for a comparison of server types.

BERNARD JACK GERSHEN (Inactive Professional Engineer)
|Table of Contents
What is this site about?
How can what is offered help?
Why is this help needed?
Who is offering this help?
What are the areas of expertise?
How would a professional arrangement work?
Are there any samples?
Offering consulting services in circuit design by an electronics engineer. Instructions can also be provided at your facility to give your personnel instructions in aspects of electronics engineering which might not have been taught in the modern undergraduate curriculum. I may be contacted at email@example.com
2. How can what is offered help?
My experience will be of help to you when you want to use your software to control a function that must interface with the AC power line, or a DC source (as in an automobile, for example).
Software development is a specialized discipline. Software engineers unfortunately do not have the training to bring the software to a full product. The Electrical Engineering curriculum over the past 15 years has had to reduce the number of course hours devoted to the non-software aspects of Electrical Engineering. The result is that although the newly minted Electrical Engineer may have been exposed to courses other than software-oriented ones, there is very little depth and there is uncertainty as to how to design the entire product.
It's about time that I introduced myself.
I'm an Electrical Engineer with over 45 years of experience. I am retired from a career that netted me a Master's Degree in Systems Engineering as well an undergraduate concentration in Communications and Circuit Design. I am an inactive Professional Engineer (Pennsylvania PE license).
I have 43 patents. Click here to view most of my patents. At present I am consulting with former clients and am interested in taking on new clients. I may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
5. What are the areas of expertise?
My expertise lies in interfacing to the AC power line. For the last 25 years of my career I worked for a company which manufactured electrical wiring devices, and was involved with the electronic products that were part of their catalog. Other jobs included interfacing to frequencies other than 60 or 50 Hz, as well as various DC systems. My particular strengths are in analog and power interface for high volume, reliable, low cost products. An important part of my contribution to the work of the engineering department was working with the Underwriters' Laboratories (UL).
I have also taught undergraduate courses in circuit design at City College of New York, Farmingdale State University of New York, New York Institute of Technology.
6. How would a professional arrangement work?
One method is to work as a traditional consultant, e. g. hire for a particular project with stated goals, timetable, pay, report requirements and all the other aspects of this type of business arrangement. Initially we would conduct telephone conversations and/or meetings to determine the exact parameters of the job.
The other way would be to be conduct in-house seminar or course. I would teach your present personnel aspects of Electrical Engineering which they would need in order to complete the engineering task of bringing the software concept to a finished product. This would be a product that would perform some kind of mechanical or visual function. Here is a copy of the first lesson of such a course or seminar.
The goal is not to make the listener an expert in these fields. However "buzz words" and concepts that would enable the engineer to design simple interface circuits, and to intelligently specify the necessary product or other consulting service would be taught.
Finally, since I have attended many of these types of seminars, experience has shown that the information gained at the time it was taught was not immediately utilized. When I eventually could make use of it, the concepts were not readily recalled. In order to solve this problem, I would offer ongoing help via E-mail or phone contacts for as long as necessary. This could be at a flat fee (retainer), or fee for time spent in additional consultation.
7. Are there any samples?
You can see my resume here.
I wrote an an unpublished paper concerning the changes in the educational curriculum of the Electrical Engineer over the years.
Here is another article I wrote – The Transformerless Series Circuit, Appliance Magazine, April, 2002: Click here to view this article.

The goals of AHRQ's health IT initiative are to:Help clinicians deliver higher quality, safer health care.Put the patient more squarely at the center of health care.Stimulate planning and implementation of health IT, especially in rural and underserved areas.Identify most successful approaches and barriers to implementation.Make the business case for health IT by evaluating costs and benefits.Return to Contents Statewide and Regional NetworksAHRQ awarded contracts totaling $25 million to the States of Colorado, Indiana, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Utah to develop statewide and regional networks allowing health care providers, laboratories, major purchasers of health care, public and private payers, hospitals, ambulatory care facilities, home health care providers, and long-term care providers to use health IT to communicate and share information. The goals of these projects are to:Implement information and communications technologies to enable clinicians to assess patient information at the point of care.Develop a health information exchange that interconnects local health information infrastructures.Plan, develop, implement, and evaluate a patient indexing system to facilitate sharing of patient data between public and private health care sectors.Plan, implement, and evaluate a State-based regional data sharing and interoperability service connecting health care entities across counties.Expand and enhance a current statewide network to electronically exchange patient information.Return to Contents Building the 21st Century Health IT InfrastructureOver 100 grants totaling $96 million will promote access to health IT by helping communities, hospitals, providers, and health care systems plan, implement, and demonstrate the value of health IT.Planning projects are supporting the development of the health IT infrastructure and data-sharing capacity among clinical provider organizations in their communities by:Conducting needs assessments and feasibility studies.Developing plans to implement electronic health records.Creating patient data information sharing systems.Building telehealth and telemedicine systems.Providing point-of-care access to patient information and treatment guidelines.Implementation projects are supporting community-wide and regional health IT systems by:Integrating patient data with clinical decision support databases, pharmacy and laboratory data, and emergency systems.Developing networked computerized physician order entry.Helping identify and prevent adverse drug events.Developing chronic disease treatment systems, including diabetes patient registries.Creating clinical decision support systems.Value demonstration projects are evaluating how the adoption of health IT will:Impact quality, safety, and resource use in large integrated delivery systems.Advance the effectiveness of Web-based patient education tools.Improve patient transitions between health care facilities and home.Return to Contents Helping Rural and Small CommunitiesHealth care providers in rural and small communities often face special challenges in providing quality patient care due to a lack of resources, geographic isolation, and a shortage of providers and facilities. A number of projects are developing and implementing health IT in rural regions to:Assess unique barriers to IT implementation.Utilize telemedicine and telehealth networks.Integrate patient information with pharmacy, laboratory, scheduling, and health insurance information.Improve the safety, quality, and satisfaction of both patients and providers.Foster partnerships and collaborations.Return to Contents AHRQ National Resource CenterThe AHRQ National Resource Center for Health Information Technology (the National Resource Center) will encourage adoption of health IT by sharing the knowledge and findings that result from the real-world laboratory created within AHRQ's health IT initiative. AHRQ awarded an $18.5 million, multi-year contract to NORC at the University of Chicago to establish and operate the National Resource Center.Through the National Resource Center, AHRQ can help providers prepare and incorporate health IT into the health care system. As the repository for the research findings that result from these projects, the National Resource Center will provide direct technical assistance and consulting services to individual projects to help develop and use health IT, with a particular focus on supporting challenges facing health IT implementation in rural and small community settings.With its grants and contracts, AHRQ is stimulating investment in health IT projects, especially in rural and underserved areas.Through its systemic evaluation of these projects, AHRQ will help identify what works best, what barriers exist, and how clinicians and hospitals can successfully incorporate health IT.As a trusted source of information for health care providers, AHRQ will maintain the National Resource Center to provide information and offer technical assistance to help providers successfully make the leap to health IT.Return to Contents More InformationFor further information, please contact us by E-mail at email@example.com a complete description of the health IT research projects and programs at AHRQ, please go to the Program Brief, Health Information Technology Programs (AHRQ Pub.

Perhaps they do not see enough 'market' there ?? I seem to notice a similar change in the IMS shows as well. Seems like the style popularity cycles every so many years??? Just an observance ...could be all wrong?

I havent been to Americade for over almost 10 years for that very reason, too many cruisers, not enough LD touring riders. Got tiring explaining my choice of riding gear to folks who looked like they fell out of an HD catalog. Beautiful area though, riding is great, lots to see.
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key
I've gone on and off almost since the beginning. This would be the FIRST time that I know of without BMW. The event is what you make it. My fiance and I had a great time last year (her first trip). The demo rides allowed me to prove to her that she could easily handle a much larger bike than she was riding at the time. I got he out on a GoldWing after showing her how many 70 year old frail looking men were riding them. After that she rode almost half of the BMW's there and fell in love with the K1600GT and the R1200GSW. Last fall she bought herself a 2014 R1200GSW.
Disclaimer: I in now way mean to imply that all 70 year old men are or look frail. lol
"Friends don't let friends ride junk!"
A few years ago, when there was an Olympics, and when BMW was spending a ton or two of money as an Olympics corporate sponsor - back then - BMW cut way back on other forms of promotional spending that year. They didn't show up a lot of places because they spent so much on the Olympics.
While I might be wrong I strongly suspect that is what is happening, again, in 2014.
For those who really want to test ride something, try a local dealer. Or, BMW will likely have the fleet in St. Paul.

Thank you for contacting BMW Motorrad USA.
At this time, the next scheduled appearance by the demo truck will be at the BMW Motorcycles Owners of America Rally in July in Minnesota. We apologize for any disappointment this causes.

Gemeinhardt Roy Seaman Signature PiccoloThis all Grenadilla wood piccolo with solid silver keys is a tribute to the legendary piccolo maker Roy Seaman. Handcrafted to produce the warm, rich sound that blends so beautifully with other acoustic instruments, this instrument has long been recognized for its outstanding craftsmanship and performance. It features a conical bore, a special scale design for consistent response, and intonation throughout all registers. The Roy Seaman Signature Piccolo comes with a deluxe case and cleaning rod.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
This piccolo is absolutely amazing! There truly is no other piccolo that compares to its quick response and absolutely beautiful intonation. I just recently played it in a concert and I couldn't even count the number of compliments I received. The piccolo solos in Dmitri Shostakovich's Festive Overture became so much easier after purchasing this piccolo. I cannot stress how much better the response is! Plus, it's just a gorgeous instrument! It sounds just as beautiful as it looks! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I recently got this piccolo as a gift and I absolutely love it. Intonation is a little wavery, but that is expected with all piccolos. Very easy to get high notes out. I was able to get F sharp 8 out comparatively easily. Great dynamic range and intonation as well. This piccolo made it easy to go from ppp to fff w/o much change in pich ( 2 mhz tops). Overall, great piccolo. It does need a lot of care, but that's expected with any wood instrument I give it a 6 out of 5.

Go Back
by Christopher Koller and Marisa Holley
As brandchannel reports, Vodacom, one of South Africa's leading mobile carriers, recently launched an ambitious R200 million (US $39 million) rebranding exercise. The rebrand follows on the tails of Vodafone's 2009 acquisition of the Vodacom brand.
While the rebrand keeps the Vodacom name, the change from the blue and green color palatte and symbol to Vodafone¹s symbol and red logo color, signals a migration towards Vodafone.
So far, the rebrand has received much attention due to the kick off of an awareness building campaign. However, the question is if the cautious migration (which just stops short of rebranding Vodacom as Vodafone completely) best positions the entity strategically. Is the color and symbol switch likely to mitigate drop off in terms of brand identification, as well as market confusion for consumers? Our answer: not likely.
Overall, migrations are sensitive things. You need to respect the equity of the previous brands, but you also have new stakeholders to satisfy. This is clearly the case here. If you read behind the lines, the rebrand suggests that Vodafone (which traditionally adheres to a strictly monolithic brand architecture around the globe) is hesitant to sacrifice Vodacom's power and position in the marketplace. This makes sense given that Vodafone's presence in Africa is far smaller than Vodacom's. While the rebrand may not seem particularly bold, to ensure that Vodafone's future in Africa is secure in the years ahead, Vodafone may need to hang on to the Vodacom name just a little bit longer.
For now, Vodafone is playing is safe, in hopes that it can continue to increase brand affinity levels through the Vodacom name and keep customers, post-merge. However, the current activity and spend is only indicative of more to come. Indeed, don't be surprised if Vodafone launches a second phase rebrand in the near future, in which it bids the Vodacom name a final adieu.
Watch the video above to find out more about the project and to hear more of our commentary.

The state of Georgia has produced another D1 QB for this year.
Cairo High School's Steven Bench committed to Rice University on Thursday, picking the Owls over Georgia State, Samford, Eastern Kentucky, South Alabama and Jacksonville State. Bench also had interest from Mississippi State and Alabama, among others.
"I committed to Rice just because of the fact that out of the schools that had offered me, it was the best situation for me," Bench told the AJC. "There's no doubt that Rice is a win-win situation for me. If I am blessed enough to have the opportunity to play pro football, that's great. If not, however, I will have an Ivy League-type of degree from Rice. Not many people can say that."
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Bench had 20 total touchdowns at Cairo. He transferred from Bainbridge for his senior year after his father was hired as an assistant at Cairo. Bench will make an official visit to Rice on Jan. 14.
Georgia has five senior QBs of out 440 high schools that are committed to D1 schools – Wayne County's Greyson Lambert (Virginia), Flowery Branch's Kanler Coker (East Carolina), Coffee County's Will Garnder (Louisville), Mt. Pisgah Christian's Kyle Sloter (Tulane) and Bench, while Henry County's Chris Moody is undecided whether he will play QB or DB-WR in college. McEachern's Trent Thompson is committed to Georgia State.

Would have loved to see Steven sign with GSU, but I definitely agree that Rice would be really hard to turn down. The academics there are top notch and they play in respectable conference where you can make a name for yourself, just look at what Case Keenum was able to do.

A thoughtful process and a good decision. It's clear this kid intends to get playing time. I can't imagine what it's like for the the quarterbacks at Georgia who rarely get to play even when it's a blowout. I don't understand why the coaches feel it's more productive to stay with the starters and go ultra conservative to finish a game. Why not keep playing aggressively but with bench players. It would build depth against a live opponent and make everyone happier since they are playing.

Sep 28 2012: As for me, I often get motivation when i watch people who achieve their goal, and push themselves to the limit,
I really like sports and when i'm tired or when i'm about to study my lesson in order to success exam, I often watch some video on youtube about great personnality on sports , and by watching the video, i tell my self that "everything is possible as long as i want it, and work for it.
On the otherhand, i can also say that God motivates me

Tablet Original Fiction: Sent on a gruesome errand, a young man comes undone
I should explain—if nothing else, explanation is my birthright. You're reading the only prose of the only child of two nice, proud, broke college profs: Law (international), Philosophy (analytic), both at UC Berkeley. Though I could've gone to Berkeley for free, I applied only to Columbia, City College, even NYU, even the New School. I'd always worshipped New York—"the city" meant Manhattan, not San Francisco—thanks to Mom (Law, int'l), who was born and raised here and who'd always mock the Bay Area for being uncultured, or for being too calm, or complacent, or omphaloskeptic, but when Dad would wince not because he was born and raised there, rather because Mom would always get into this fit when mixing local wine and cheese with academic company—who'd brought the wine and cheese and who were very much consumed with "the local"—she'd suddenly stop and say, "except San Jose," she'd rest her head against Dad's, "San Jose's been good to us."
Dad's Catholic in the same way Mom's Jewish—absurdly, denyingly, not. Mom's face is mine—the same dazed whitefish platter eyes, prune ears, and pickle beak—but so baffled and happy at being so tall atop Dad's build that though I'm lean, I stoop, I slump, like the state of California. As for my own irreligion, it's just the way I was raised—spared all that struggle Dad had to endure about how the Merlot turns to blood and the sustainably harvested spelt into flesh, or what Mom had to survive for feminism, radicalism, putting herself through City College, putting a positive spin on her name change.
My parents worried about conversion only as an electrical issue, whether their laptops would work on sabbaticals abroad.
All of which was why I was already nearly finished at Columbia (History, European), before ever meeting Mom's family. It's fitting that what brought us together was a funeral. Not a funeral, because Mom with her midterms couldn't fly out, but a shiva. Her mother had died. Jewish funerals are always held immediately after death—Mom told me when I met her outside the Holiday Inn, Soho (she couldn't, she wouldn't, stay in my dorm)—immediately after, unless it's Shabbos or "a yomtov." My mother had never spoken to me like that. She clarified by pointing at her lobby, "a yomtov" meant "a holiday."
The urgency of Jewish burial struck me not as honoring the dead by not leaving them exposed, but as dishonoring the living by inconveniencing their schedules.
In Manhattan, Mom and I paid our respects to her favorite bookstores—or to the sites of her favorite bookstores now closed—Café des Saints Sans-Abri was now a bank, Saigon Bistro was still greasing around, but none of its employees remembered any spicy honey pork thing ever on the menu.
So we went to this Turkish kebaberie nextdoor where Mom insisted we order extra meze only to spite, I'm sure, the quantities of food served at the shiva:
Piles of everything not vegetable or mineral. The only salads were egg and tuna, still in their tubs. Bloodless heaps of coldcuts in waxpaper. Ten commandment loaves of rye. Relatives. A sibling slew. Cousins bounced balls through puddles of diet sodas. The apartment was small, the furniture cheap, bargained me down into resenting my height. I was a skyscraper among children. My mother's room had been turned into a hoarder's closet, filthy with buckets and dustpans, comate mops and brooms. Plastic bags stuffed cracks. Even the halls—the peeling floors, the leakstained ceilings—were petty and rude. A new life, an oldie I'd never suspected, just a ride away—on a train I wasn't familiar with yet, to a bus that Mom didn't recognize.
In Dad's family, relations disintegrated—they decomposed—between mournings. In Mom's, everyone knew everyone—despite that family's size, rather because of its size, which ensured a constancy of birthing and dying. Dad hardly knew the names of his cousins. Mom's brothers, my uncles, were married to theirs. Except the eldest, a bachelor, the eldest of I've lost count. Sruly. Translation: Yisroel. Translation: Rabbi Israel Zevelsky—but no one called him that.
I registered him only as redfaced, redbearded, razorburned at neck. Ear hair, nose hair, hair. Cloth tie lolling from a crumpled hat. Then there was that other uncle and aunt, one of whom had contacted my mother. Which was the immediate relation, search me. The aunt, who refused to shake my hand, said, "your Bubbe," the uncle, whose hand was rearranging his genitals, said, "she suffered." They weren't quite fluent in what I spoke, they halted, turned to ask Mom about something and she answered them something and then they tried to ask me: about my local shuls, about whether I'd ever met Rabbi—but as for the name they gave, search me. I was impressed by my mother's Yiddish, by her insistence I keep my scalp uncovered. My grandfather, my Zeyde, had stayed by the same kitchen corner ever since coming to this country. Just before we left Mom went over and, because he was a photograph, he was the only other person to acknowledge her.
He frowned.
Mom flew back the next morning. Some time later the aunt and uncle called and had me over to a Shabbos dinner, which they insisted on evangelizing into a full Shabbos by having me spend the night and when I refused, went to the toilet and flipped a switch, they threw me to the curb. Rather one tossed me out, the other snuck outside and slipped me babka. I came back to the city, tossed it in a trashcan—who brings a babka on a date? but then, guilty, turned and went back and retrieved it—the decisive foil, the clincher.

Ryan Jones is at a bit of a crossroads with the Oilers. A new coach healthy scratched him a few times and the new GM had some nice things to say but riffed the "we're in discussions about where we want to go with Ryan" line at his media conference.

Ryan Jones 12-13
- 5×5 points per 60: 1.38 (7th among regular forwards)
- 5×4 points per 60: nil
- Qual Comp: 14th toughest faced among regular forwards
- Qual Team: 5th best available teammates among regular forwards
- Corsi Rel: -1.0 (5th best among regular forwards) (-13.85 CorsiON)
- Zone Start: 45.4% (10th toughest, 6th easiest among regular forwards)
- Zone Finish: 46.8% (12th best among regular forwards)
- Shots on goal/percentage: 38/5.26% (8th among F's >35shots)
- Boxcars: 25, 2-5-7
- Plus Minus: E on a team that was -15
- What do these numbers tell us? His offense at 5×5 remains consistent, and certainly covers the bet for a 4th line winger. The MacT quote about "non-factor" doesn't apply to Jones on the offense–he has scored 18 and 17 goals in previous seasons and his CorsiRel was solid. He also had a tough luck season by shooting percentage and still managed to impact the offense at his usual level.
- Is the eye injury a concern? For Jones, the timing is horrible. The entire season was bad news for him. The club struggled, he couldn't help and then the shooting percentages rolled snake eyes more often than normal. Plus of course the coach healthy scratched him and that's a factor in projecting into the future. Role players often lose their jobs after a season like this one.
- I can just feel the love. The problem I have with Jones is this: he's an offensive player but not the best option for offense, and the role he fills because of that is the Pisani role. I absolutely believe that's what the healthy scratches were about this season. Jones is an offensive player on a team with #1 overalls out the wazoo, and he's in the spot in the batting order where Daniel Winnick should be right now. It's not his fault, it's just terrible roster choices coming home to roost.
- How much did Krueger play him compared to Renney? Under Renney a year ago, Jones was 8th at EVs among regular forwards with 12:06 a game. He was 2nd in SH TOI with 2:28 and 10th in PP with 51 seconds a game. Under Krueger this year, he was 10th at EVS among regular forwards with 11:15 a game. He was 8th in SH TOI with 1:23 and average 19 seconds a night on the PP.
- David Staples says he's an excellent penalty killer. Well, coach Krueger cut his PK time in half and that suggests a loss of confidence in the player. I don't want to beat him up too badly about it, because the vision issue may be real and it's not fair to light him up over an injury.
- How much less did he play a game? This year, Jones was on the ice for 13 minutes a night all in, last year it was 15:25, so about 2.5 minutes a game lost.
- Who played the major PK minutes, the wingers ahead of Jones? Petrell 2:35, Smyth 2:31. Jones was the #1 PK option among wingers last season under Renney.
- So maybe it is the injury? Yes. It could be. I sincerely hope he recovers completely.
- Why did Krueger healthy scratch him so much? Well, first I think it was three or four times so we're not talking about a major demotion. Still, it was the coach's choice to go with Petrell and Ryan Smyth during many of the important games. PK was part of it, but I also think Jones gets in trouble by chasing the offense and abandoning the responsibilities too quickly.
- He got back into the lineup at the end of the season. When Petrell was hurt.
- The new GM said nice things about him. MacT: "He's a great teammate and he's a guy we hold in high esteem for his core values. We're in discussions where we want to go with Ryan."
- What do you think that means? I think it's really easy to turn the page on the entire bottom 6F.
- Why this song? Well, it's about change–and more than that, change that is out your control. It's not a fun thing for anyone, and for someone like Jones–who might have gone on for years scoring 15 goals a year and being a terrific teammate–this season has been a real kick in the head. Now, he's a free agent coming off a season that did not resemble the previous two, there are some questions about his health and there is new management in town. Man, that's a recipe for disaster.
- Maybe they sign him to a one year contract at low money and trade Hartikainen? I believe Craig MacTavish rebuilds that bottom 6F in a way that gives his coach as many options as possible. If MacT can find a way to use Jones' offense effectively while also filling all the other holes then Jones may be back next season.

Classic Fit Destination No-Wrinkle Pants 4 4
Just too big for me... I really liked these pants - nice drape, good color, and the material is definitely wrinkle-free. Sadly for me I had to return them as they were a bit too baggy in the hips and rear and were also too long. I am 5'5", 120 lbs. Usually a size 4 fits me, but not this time. All that said, they are great pants and I would recommend them to a friend. January 4, 2014
No-Wrinkle - True TravelSmith is so confident in the wrinkle free part that my jacket and slacks were shipped in a waterproof envelope. There were a few wrinkles but they quickly fell out once hung up. I love the Travelsmith suits, wish you had more of the classic style suits. When I see one in the catalogue I usually try to snatch one up. December 5, 2013
too long I am 5"7" and I always have to have the pants shortened when I get them from Travelsmith. I can't imagine who they think they are making these pants for, if a tall person still has to have them shortened. Add more $ to the cost for the alteratiions. September 3, 2013

Will These Virtualization Stocks Soar in 2013?
Richard is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Complaining about expensive valuations in the tech sector is like being irritated because water is wet. Tech stocks carrying high expectations have become the "new normal." This is especially true among companies having anything to do with the cloud that also specializes in desktop virtualization. Admittedly, as a value investor I've missed out on some of these opportunities – shares were just too rich for me. For more aggressive investors however, these three names should do very well in 2013.
Citrix (NASDAQ: CTXS) – Price Target $75
Citrix operates a sound business in an industry that seems to be in transition. Although the company is doing well now, investors are beginning to worry on the long term viability of the virtualization business. The good news is that the company has an excellent management team – one that figured out a way to make the best out of a tough spending environment in its second quarter.
Citrix posted net income of $92 million or 49 cents per share, which includes approximately $22 million related to the closing of audits with the IRS of previous tax years. Excluding this cost, the company exceeded last year's EPS mark of 43 cents. Too, revenues of $615 topped the $531 million Citrix logged a year ago.
There's a big "but" here however. The company has to do better than just 16% revenue growth for a stock sporting a P/E of close to 40. On the other hand despite an abysmal enterprise climate, the company was able to muster 7% growth in desktop licenses. Overall, Citrix's earnings weren't that bad relative to expectations.
Enterprise spending in 2013 is expected to be much improved. Citrix's strong management team and solid enterprise presence should be able to get the company back on track to 20+ percent growth rate that investors expect. Also, the company rewarded investors with almost $400 million worth of stock buybacks. Clearly Citrix sees the value in its business and so should investors. On this basis, a $75 target by the summer is easily attainable.
VMware (NYSE: VMW) – Price Target $105
VMware has become the standard in the realm of virtualization. Despite its meaningful lead in the market, the company constantly has to prove that it's worthy of its valuation. Although growth has not been a problem, VMware has seen declines in license revenue over the past several quarters. This was also a concern in its most recent quarter, during which revenue surged 20%.
In the quarter, VMware posted net income of $156.8 million, or 36 cents per share on revenues of $1.13 billion. On an adjusted basis, the company earned $303.4 million, or 70 cents per share when excluding stock-based compensation – beating estimates of 63 cents per share. Services revenue was the standout performer, jumping almost 30% and reaching $643 million.
VMware outperformed Citrix by 4% in license revenue, which increased 11% to $491 million. Then again, profitability was mixed. Although I was impressed by the 25% increase in operating income, it was offset by 24% jump in operating expenses, including 30% increase in R&D. This can be looked upon a couple of ways: the company knows that it is growing well. But it will spare no expense to maintain its lead.
In the meantime, the stock remains an excellent investment. The company's strong cash position and solid balance sheet coupled with a first-rate management team makes VMware one of the toughest names to bet against. Investors should expect shares to reach $105, which would represent 12% premium from current levels.
Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) – Price Target $60
Although concerns about competitive threats remain, Red Hat insists on becoming a player in the virtualization market by dropping $100 million in cash in an acquisition deal for virtualization and cloud management company ManageIQ. In other words, Red Hat has looked VMware and Citrix in the face and said "bring it."
Likewise, in its Q3 results which ended November 30th, the company also spoke with its execution. Red Hat posted revenues of $343.6 million – representing a year-over-year increase of 18% and 21% in constant currency. Also impressive were subscription revenue, which registered at $294.2 million - surging 19% year-over-year.
This was encouraging since Red Hat absorbed criticism for its weakness in this area. This also means that the company is outperforming both Citrix and VMware in this category. The main issue continues to be profitability. Operating income registered at $49.9 million, down 7% year-over-year.
Management said this was due to (among other things) costs related to acquisitions and stock-based compensation. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income arrived at $82.5 million – representing a 5% year-over-year increase.
Cash flow was also impressive – coming at $100.2 million, an improvement of 3.7% year-over-year with total deferred revenues increasing 21%. If there was "red flag" in Red Hat's report it was the 3% dip in operating margin. This suggests that the company is experience some pricing pressure. And as it stands, Red Hat does not have the sort of leverage needed to fight off the competition.
Meanwhile, both VMware and Citrix have been growing revenues and margins each quarter. The good news is that growth remains impressive – enough to afford investors the required patience as management shores up that part of the operation. On this basis, I expect the stock to appreciate, but I'm not as bullish absent clear signs of sustained profitability. $60 per share is very likely.

The Edmonton Oilers made their first cuts this morning, the beginning of a week that should see the club reduce the men at Rexall by 20. If coach Dallas Eakins wants to get this team down to a manageable number, this is the way to do it.
- Marco Roy: Impressed in Penticton and played well enough last night. There's no reason to expect he could push deeper into camp, this is a completely reasonable time to get him out of town and back to the QMJHL.
- Jackson Houck: Came up injured during the rookie week, still he showed some nice things.
- Greg Chase: Impressed at rookie camp, certainly did more than some higher picks and is a player to watch in junior.
- Ben Betker: Huge stay at home guy showed well.
- Ty Bilcke: Showed well enough in rookie camp, exposed badly (as one might expect) as the competition improved.
- Reid Petryk: At 20, he might have shown more.
- Kyle Platzer: In some ways, the most impressive player among today's cuts. I have no idea what he is, and am not going to add to the confusion. He sure scored a lot for a guy no one talks about, though.
Who is still here that might have been sent away today? No one really. These are basically the most recent draft picks minus Darnell Nurse and we know the Oilers wanted him to have a longer look at his future in Edmonton. The next list of cuts will probably include Cam Abney, Mitchell Moroz, Jujhar Khaira and the AHL guys will start getting sent out after the junior kids are sent away.
Camp news we're not hearing? Nuge's timeline, Belov's arrival.

Kyle Bailey was half an inch from becoming only the second two-time winner of the Cable Car MVP. Nick Vanos won it twice during a stretch of three straight tournament titles in the early '80s.
At this rate, Travis Niesen is a lock for the team's most improved player. He may give up a little size on one end, but is a tough match at the other because of his quickness. They know the left hand is coming but can't do much about it.
Jens Gordon is still going strong, playing for middle dwelling Artland Dragons of the 1st German Federal League, averaging about 9 points and 5 rebounds. He was the winner of the 1988 Cable Car MVP.
Art Santo Domingo doesn't get the credit he deserves for bringing the Cable Car Classic to the Bay Area for 37 years. Every program should be so lucky to have that kind of friend.
The Cable Car MVP, BYU's Rafael Araujo is nicknamed "Baby." His wife told him he was going to be a father by leaving him a note in his wallet asking how it would feel to not be the only baby in the family.
After you served a mission, with a wife and child in your mid-20s, making a play in the final seconds doesn't seem that stressful. By birth certificates alone, it was "men against boys."
There is no truth to the rumor of a San Jose Mercury jinx as the reason for the Broncos loss to Eastern Washington. The paper picked the Broncos to finish secondbehind Gonzaga in the WCC race. The good feeling lasted not quite as long as a Britney Spears marriage.
Saint Mary's resurgence is the best thing to rekindle a rivalry that's been dormant for several years.
Doron Perkins is the best pure athlete in the program since Lloyd Pierce. The tip-dunk to beat UMBC could only have been duplicated by Pierce in the last decade.
At least one bye is a MUST for any team hoping to win the WCC tourney. Four wins in four days would be comparable to hitting the lottery. Santa Clara fans should hope for second-place or better. Second-place gets two byes into the semis. That means just two wins on the Broncos' home floor to make "The Dance."
Former Bronco Darrell Teat is married in Fremont and blessed to have a beautiful daughter named Tejah.
Even with Steve Nash, no Santa Clara team during the Dick Davey era entered conference play with more than nine wins. SCU missed two chances at nine in a span of five days.
Steve Seandel called Saturday's loss to Eastern Washington the worst effort he's seen in 12 years at Santa Clara. Even worse than scoring 41 points at UOP three years ago and a 35 point outburst at Stanford in '93?
Scoring 19 straight points in the first half for Eastern Washington, Alvin Snow was white hot. He finished with 28 after getting only two against the Broncos last month.
A healthy Scott Borchart gives the Broncos another big body and a front line that can hang with the best in the conference. He's due some good karma after dealing with 2 feet fractures and 2 shoulder operations. Add those to a broken hand to start this year.
One key injury can turn the conference race upside down. The Zags lost two players indefinitely in their win over Eastern Washington and USF will try and hold things together without John Cox. The cousin of Kobe Bryant is hoping for a 6th year.

Weight and waist measurements
What is a healthy weight?
What is overweight?
What are the health consequences of being overweight?
Why is waist measurement important?
At what waist measurement does it become a health risk?
How does my height affect the waist measurement guidelines?
What evidence supports the waist measurements?
I consider myself to be healthy and active, yet my waist measurement is in the risk range. Is this a problem?
What is body mass index (BMI)?
Why doesn't this campaign use the BMI?
What is a healthy weight?Is there an ideal weight we should all try to achieve? The answer is NO! There's no ideal weight that suits everybody. Each person is different and their healthy weight will be determined by different factors. There are two methods that can be used to check if you are in the healthy weight range - the Body Mass Index (BMI) and measurement of your waist circumference.
What is overweight?Overweight is a condition of excess weight that normally results from a sustained energy imbalance. Energy imbalance occurs when dietary energy intake is more then energy expenditure over a period of time i.e. you're consuming more energy then you are burning off. A combination of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference is recommended for the clinical measurement of overweight and obesity.
What are the health consequences of being overweight?The health problems and consequences of being overweight and obese are many and varied, including musculo-skeletal problems, cardiovascular disease, some cancers, sleep apnoea, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. Many of these are often preventable though a healthy and active lifestyle. Having excess fat that coats your organs is a risk to your health. . This is called visceral or intra-abdominal fat. It is not yet clear on what the exact cause is which links intra-abdominal fat with chronic disease, but what is clear is that even a small deposit of this fat increases the risk of serious health problems.
Why is waist measurement important?
A waist measurement of greater than 94cm for men or 80cm for women is an indicator of internal fat deposits, which can coat the heart, kidneys, liver and pancreas, and increase the risk of chronic disease. Waist circumference should only be used for adults to check the risk of developing a chronic disease. Measurements that indicate increased risks for children and teenagers have not been developed.
At what waist measurement does it become a health risk?For most people a waist measurement of greater than 94cm for men or 80cm for women is an indicator of internal fat deposits, which can coat the heart, kidneys, liver and pancreas, and increase the risk of chronic disease.
Waist measurements should only be used for adults to check their risk of developing a chronic disease. Measurements that indicate increased risks for children and young people have not yet been developed.
The waist measurements above are recommended for Caucasian men and Caucasian and Asian women. Recommended waist measurements are yet to be determined for all ethnic groups. It is believed that they may be lower for Asian men than for Caucasian men and are likely to be higher for Pacific Islanders and African Americans (men and women). The limited data currently available indicates that the risk factors in Aboriginal populations appear to be similar to those in Asian populations; and the risk factors in Torres Strait Islander populations appear to be similar to those found in Pacific Islander populations.
Measuring your waistTo find out your level of risk, it is important to measure your waist circumference accurately.
- The tape measure should be placed directly on your skin, or on no more than one layer of light clothing.
- The correct place to measure your waist is horizontally halfway between your lowest rib and the top of your hipbone. This is roughly in line with your belly button.
- Breathe out normally and take the measure.
- Make sure the tape is snug, without squeezing the skin.
How does my height affect the waist measurement guidelines?For most people. no matter how tall you are, if your waist measurement is more than 80cm for women and 94cm for men you are at an increased risk of some lifestyle related chronic diseases e.g Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers.
Current clinical evidence indicates waist measurement is an accepted indicator of risk.
What evidence supports the waist measurements?The recommended waist measurements used in the Measure Up campaign are based on findings by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).
The WHO Consultation on Obesity reported its findings in Obesity: preventing and managing the global epidemic, Technical Report 894, 2000.
The current Australian Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Overweight and Obesity in Adults were issued by the NHMRC in 2013. The NHMRC is Australia's peak body for health research and advice, and the Guidelines were developed by an expert panel after a comprehensive assessment of the current scientific evidence.
I consider myself to be healthy and active, yet my waist measurement is in the risk range. Is this a problem?It is not possible to give individual tailored clinical advice as every individual situation is different. However based on current clinical evidence (see above), waist circumference measurement is an accepted indicator of risk. The measures for increased risk of 80cm and above for women and 94cm and above for men have been taken from these Guidelines.
While waist circumference is a simple and obvious indicator of potential risk, health risk is not solely linked to waist circumference. Smoking, physical inactivity, blood pressure and blood cholesterol, lack of sleep and many other factors all play an important role. Some individuals will naturally carry small deposits of subcutaneous fat around their abdomen even though they follow an appropriate lifestyle.
If you exercise regularly and eat well, don't smoke or drink excessively and generally live a healthy life then a slightly elevated waist circumference should not cause you to worry. It is important to note that all efforts to increase physical activity and improve diet will help reduce risk and have an individual health benefit. We encourage you to continue your efforts.
What is body mass index (BMI)?BMI is an acceptable approximation of total body fat at the population level and can be used to estimate the risk of diseases in most people.
The use of BMI is a convenient way for you (an adult) to assess whether your weight is in the healthy range. Your BMI is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in metres squared. For example, a woman 1.67m in height and weighing 65kg would have a BMI of 23.3 which falls within the healthy weight range. Overweight is measured as 25 or more with obesity determined as 30 or more.
There are exceptions to this rule, which means a BMI figure may not be accurate.
BMI calculations can overestimate the amount of body fat for:
- Body builders or weight lifters
- Some high performance athletes or highly active defence personnel
- Pregnant women.
BMI calculations can underestimate the amount of body fat for:
- The elderly
- People with a physical disability who are unable to walk and may have muscle wasting.
BMI is also not an accurate indicator for people with eating disorders like anorexia nervosa or people with extreme obesity.
Therefore the BMI is not the best measure of fatness or health risk. Increasingly experts believe that the type of fat and where it is on your body may be more important than BMI – and that your waist circumference is really the figure that you should pay attention to. Even if your BMI is normal, if you have a waist measurement above 94cm for men and 80cm for women you may be at risk of serious chronic disease.
|Classification of Body Mass Index
|Risk of co-morbidities
|Low (but possibly increased risk of other clinical problems)
|Normal range (Healthy Weight)
|18.50 - 24.99
|25.00 - 29.99
|Obese class 1
|30.00 - 34.99
|Obese class 2
|35.00 - 39.99
|Obese class 3
|Very severe
|Reproduced from: Obesity: Preventing and Managing the Global Epidemic, 2000, WHO, Geneva.
It is important to remember, however, that even though your BMI can tell you if you are overweight, your waist measurement is a better guide to your risk of chronic disease. Even if your BMI is normal, fat around the waist can put you at risk.

Pakistan attacks kill 28 as leaders meet for summit
®Copyright MediaCorp
A suicide bomber struck a night-time Shiite march in Pakistan, in the bloodiest attack of a day of violence that left at least 28 people dead.
Police in the garrison city of Rawalpindi said the attack was on the procession of minority Shiite Muslims en route to a mosque.
In addition to the 28 people killed, a rescue service spokesman said 32 people were wounded including nine children.
Rawalpindi is adjacent to the capital Islamabad, where thousands of extra police and paramilitary forces have been mobilised for a summit of Islamic leaders aimed at promoting trade and investment.
