Tryst 2 a good rendezvous for beginners.
Overall, I feel that the Tryst 2's relatively weak vibrations mean that it will likely be more suitable for teasing/foreplay for more advanced users. However, it should still get the job done, and the 100% silicone body will satisfy choosy buyers without putting new users off of trying it. While the price is a bit high for a first-time user, it is not unreasonably so, and this coupled with the unintimidating size of the toy makes the Tryst 2 a great choice for a first-timer.Published:
100% silicone, easy to use, good for beginners.
May not be strong enough to satisfy advanced users.
Follow-up commentary
21 months after original review
I honestly haven't used this toy at all since I reviewed it, simply because I own other toys that are flashier and see more use because I like them more. I don't plan on throwing this one out, though, and it's still sitting in my toy box with some of the ones that I do use more.

Happy Earth Day: Let's B Global!
I recently checked in with B, toys, my favorite toy creators on the planet, and they asked me to try out their brand new-ish Global Glowball. Being the clever person I am, I thought it would be a perfect way to celebrate Earth Day!
Looking at the Global Glowball (Their toys just have the most awesome names, don't they?) online, I was immediately intrigued. B. toys always has top-notch playthings: colorful but not garish; creative, never predictable; exciting without being over-the-top-in-your-face. And of course all their packaging is recyclable or recycled [BONUS EARTH DAY POINTS].
The 12 Days of Christmas Past: Day 4
End of the world, blah blah blah… Mayan calendar, blah blah blah… Apocalypse blah blah blah…
I had told myself I wouldn't get sucked into writing about all that nonsense, but this DoXP card seemed to fit nicely…
2008 was the first of the "lean years" in our economy — at least it's when Design Nut first felt it. Subsequently that year I decided to recycle/upcycle/repurpose/whatever and instead of printing all new cards, packaged several holiday and note card "Greatest Hits," put them in a nifty, green photo box (LOVE me some Container Store!), and digitally printed a label for the top and a message card for the inside.
DooDad of the Day: Earth Edition
It's not easy being green AND groovy…
But hopefully these 5 cool DooDads can help you decrease your kiddo's carbon footprint and have some funky fun at the same time:
Giggle storage bins
Super durable, super cute, super useful. These bountiful bins are great for toys, stinky clothes or annoying younger siblings. The body is made of sturdy 100% cotton canvas, while Messrs. Monkey, Owl and Elephant are eco-spun felt, which comes from recycled water bottles. 17″ h x 20″ d. $40 each
What I did at sleepaway camp…
This first year and a half of being a Designer Daddy has been rough on my Designer side at times. My days end promptly at 5:30. If I work after JJ goes to bed, it's with much effort (and even more caffeine). And my ability to get out there and mingle with other folk — designer or otherwise — has its limitations.
I certainly have come to appreciate the importance of networking — it's not only good for my creativity, but is beneficial to my overall sanity. However, my mind, body, and creative soul are just not up for a typical design conference, where I'd be listening to the BIGGEST and HOTTEST designers in the land telling me all the boundary-breaking work they're doing, and how they command their clients with awesome art directorial super powers.
So when I saw heard about Design Ranch, I knew it was for me. Words like "unplugged," "hands-on," and "intimate" were used to describe it, and sounded just about damn right.
So, what DID I do at camp…?
When designer daddies go too far
Like any other aesthetically-minded parent, I'm distraught by the mountains of primary-colored plastic toys that are amassing in our house. And I appreciate the effort New York-based Brinca Dada puts forth to create something stylish and creative for baby to play with. But seriously — this is a bit much.
I guess I could see a child playing with these "dollhouses"… if parents didn't mind their child getting a few gaping head wounds from the modernist architectural corners. And if there were no other color in the child's life — but what child doesn't love earth tones? And don't get me started on the dolls themselves. Yikes.
Brinca Dada does state on their website that the Emerson House is age-graded 13+. However, the above photo (pulled from their Facebook page) sends a different message. I think it's time for these Dadas to take it down a notch.
(P.S. I can't believe this hasn't ended up on Unhappy Hipsters yet.)

Physicians, Heal Thy Phones
"If this is an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room." Sound familiar? It's the message you get when you call most doctors. It usually precedes or follows upwards of half a dozen other choices. Sometimes none of them put you in touch with a live person - you have to "do your time" first. I like to call the Appointment Slapdown System or A.S.S.
Let me say I have the utmost respect for physicians. I don't think they make a ton of money given their education and skill, and I understand that they have had to reduce their patient load because they have to put everything into a computer and deal with a ton of regulations and paperwork from Medicare and insurance companies.
We senior citizens typically have several doctors, alas, and depending on our reason for calling a doctor, we should be prepared to either sit down with a crossword puzzle or put the speaker phone on while we do the dishes. (That assumes you know how to turn the speaker on and off. I only do it by accident.)
I hate it, but I have a few chronic conditions which require medical inattention - oops, attention - more often than I'd like. This is my personal odyssey with doctors and phone communication.
About five years ago I settled on a wonderful doctor at Northwestern after leaving a doctor at Rush because of her lousy phone and office service. One day I called the Northwestern doc because I was having a hard time breathing and the receptionist told me to come right in. I asked my daughter to drive me, but by the time we got to the expressway, I knew we had to head for Oak Park Hospital. There I was hospitalized for four days. Silly me, I expected that the Northwestern doc might call and check on what happened to me, but it didn't happen.
As it turns out, at Oak Park I was treated by a wonderful doctor. I switched to him and was shocked to find that he returned calls within five minutes and told me that if he didn't, I should call right back. He always had room to see me the same day and I never minded having my visits interrupted when he returned other calls. However, after several years, I realized that his personal touch didn't include computerized records. Between my failing memory and his - he never seemed to remember I was allergic to penicillins nor did he have a record of which treatments had worked and which had not - it seemed too risky. I do miss our discussions of the Middle East, drug company greed and our respective families.
So I switched to my daughter's doctor at Northwestern. Sometimes when a sinus/asthma attack comes on, I'm so sick I actually have to cancel an appointment on the day I have it. They would bill me $50, not covered by insurance. I never talked to the doctor on the phone and rarely to his nurse. The last straw was a day when I was too sick to make it there, but knew I needed an antibiotic. I called to cancel the appointment and request a prescription. I couldn't get through and kept trying - three or four times. The last time, after I was on hold for twenty minutes, I asked my daughter to call in; she was on hold for fifteen minutes before she gave up. When I finally got through I started crying and was told the nurse would call me back. She did - the next day. I was billed $50.
Meanwhile I see another doc at Oak Park Hospital about once a year for a check on one of her specialties. They too have what I call an A.S.S. with ten-to-fifteen minute waits the norm. I complained to her once and she understood perfectly. Said she can't get through either when she calls in. Say what?
I recently switched to an internist who is connected to Loyola. Lovely man, lovely staff - he once returned a call at 8:30 at night. Then they switched to an A.S.S system. The next time I saw him I told him I had tried four times to get through when I was having blurry vision. He said he hates the new system, too. So who's in charge?
The frustration is that all the fine physicians I see tell me to just call if I get worse or have a problem. It's a pretty meaningless statement. Maybe we should all start calling 911 and catching a ride to the emergency room. I'm guessing the docs there will be able to get through to our regular docs. No, that would be irresponsible - and expensive. Instead, let's just punch in the number that says we're another doctor calling.

The use of complementary and alternative medicines among patients with locally advanced breast cancer – a descriptive study
© Helyer et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2006
Received: 19 May 2005
Accepted: 21 February 2006
Published: 21 February 2006
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use is common among cancer patients. This paper reviews the use of CAM in a series of patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC).
Women with LABC attending a specialist clinic at a single Canadian cancer centre were identified and approached. Participants completed a self-administered survey regarding CAM usage, beliefs associated with CAM usage, views of their risks of developing recurrent cancer and of dying of breast cancer. Responses were scored and compared between CAM users and non-users.
Thirty-six patients were approached, 32 completed the questionnaire (response rate 89%). Forty-seven percent of LABC patients were identified as CAM users. CAM users were more likely to be younger, married, in a higher socioeconomic class and of Asian ethnicity than non-users. CAM users were likely to use multiple modalities simultaneously (median 4) with vitamins being the most popular (60%). Motivation for CAM therapy was described as, "assisting their body to heal" (75%), to 'boost the immune system' (56%) and to "give a feeling of control with respect to their treatment" (56%). CAM therapy was used concurrently with conventional treatment in 88% of cases, however, 12% of patients felt that CAM could replace their conventional therapy. Psychological evaluation suggests CAM users perceived their risk of dying of breast cancer was similar to that of the non-Cam group (33% vs. 35%), however the CAM group had less severe anxiety and depression.
The motivation, objectives and benefits of CAM therapy in a selected population of women with LABC are similar to those reported for women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. CAM users display less anxiety and depression and are less likely to believe they will die of their breast cancer. However the actual benefit to overall and disease free survival has yet to be demonstrated, as well as the possible interactions with conventional therapy. Consequently more research is needed in this ever-growing field.
Cancer patients take a wide range of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM). These include ingested therapies such as herbs, and vitamins, homeopathic remedies and traditional Chinese medicines as well as psychological, physical and spiritual techniques [1–4]. Currently between 20% and 84% of cancer patients are using CAM therapies [1–6]. Predisposing characteristics for CAM use have been shown to include a high level of education, high-income bracket, ethnicity, marital status, adjuvant therapy and presence of anxiety or depression [1–3, 7–9].
While no data reports improved survival or disease free interval with the use of CAM [10], many cancer patients attribute CAM therapy with providing them a feeling of control over their disease. CAM therapies are also believed to have properties such as, 'boosting' the immune system and preventing/treating cancer [2, 11]. Studies comparing CAM use in women with advanced stage cancer to those with early stage cancer find goals of therapy to be similar, therapeutic and psychological [11]: i.e. to relieve symptoms [2, 5, 9, 11], to exude greater control over their life and express hopefulness over there disease and life [7].
Patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) are a unique population. They have tumours that are frequently large, involve the regional lymph nodes or extend beyond the breast tissue [12]. Even with aggressive therapy the 5-year survival rate for these patients is poor at around 55% [13].
We recently reported in a population of women with breast cancer including all stages of disease, that CAM users are more likely to be younger, better educated and in full time employment compared to non-users [14]. In addition while there was no difference between CAM usage with respect to tumour stage, CAM therapy was associated with an increased perception of breast cancer recurrence and of breast cancer-related death [14].
The objective of this study was to identify the overall usage of CAM in patients with LABC, determine their motivation and objectives for usage. Secondarily the effect of CAM therapy on patient's beliefs and perceptions of their disease was examined.
The breast cancer site at the Toronto-Sunnybrook Regional Cancer Centre (TSRCC) has Canada's only specialist multidisciplinary clinic for women with LABC. Between June 2003 and June 2004 consecutive outpatients with a diagnosis of breast cancer were screened for eligibility. Only patients with locally advanced breast cancer were included in this study. Patients were invited to participate in this study examining the prevalence of CAM therapy by a study nurse prior to their visit with their oncologist. All surveys were completed under the supervision of a trained data manager in a private room, and any questions or concerns were addressed by their own oncologist (ER or MC). Patients were reassured that participation in this study in no way altered there medical care. Patients were excluded if they did not have English proficiency or did not give informed consent. Independent confirmation of diagnosis, stage and treatment in all patients was performed by one of the investigators (ER or MC). Study approval was obtained from the local Research and Ethics Board.
The self-administered questionnaire (additional file: 1) was developed to obtain information on demographics, conventional therapy and CAM use [14]. Sixteen of the most common reasons for using CAM and patient perceptions of CAM therapy were derived from the current literature and listed as choices [2]. Patient's beliefs and perceptions of their disease were assed using a Likert scale with larger scores representing higher perceptions of risk [14]. Beliefs were scored on a scale ranging from 1(strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), while perceptions were scored on a scale from very unlikely (-2) to highly likely (+2).
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale was used to assess psychological distress [15]. This instrument gives separate measures of anxiety and depression with seven items for anxiety and seven items for depression (range of scores from 0 to 21). Each item (anxiety and depression) is scored separately. Scores <7 represent a non-case, scores 8–10 represent a possible case and those above 10 represent significant disease related to anxiety or depression. The sensitivity of this test has been reported to be 74% with a specificity of 75% [16].
Due to the small number of patients the results of this study are presented descriptively as means, medians and proportions. Statistical examination was unable to show significant difference between the CAM users and Non CAM users due to small sample size and inadequate statistical power. Use of comparative tests would have increased the probability of a type I error.

The CAM user group was more likely to have had more intensive therapy for breast cancer, 30% of patients in the CAM group had all three modalities of treatment; surgery, chemotherapy and radiation in comparison with 14% in the non CAM user group (Table 1). The use of hormonal therapy was equal between the groups. The presence of private insurance and a family physician was also more common in those using CAM techniques (66% vs. 58%) and (100% vs. 88%) respectively. CAM users were also more likely to be involved in cancer support groups (20% vs. 5%) and if not, more interested in joining one than their counter parts (25% vs. 13%).

The most common form of CAM was vitamin therapy, and over 60% of CAM users had taken supplements and additives. Forty percent of the patients using CAM were on restrictive diets; either low in fat, vegetarian or using soy products. Two thirds of patients used psychological techniques including faith and spiritual healing (40%) and guided imagery (26%). 86% of patients felt their CAM was helpful and beneficial for their disease. Sixty four percent of patients using CAM had informed their oncologist and believed it was important information for their oncologist to know.

Depending on the population studied, the prevalence of CAM use among breast cancer patients is 20%–84% [1–6]. Forty seven percent of patients with LABC at our institution were CAM users, similar to the proportion of users in a non-stage specific group at our institution [14]. Variance in degree of use has been attributed to socio-demographic and clinical differences in study populations more so than stage of disease.
Women with LABC are a unique population. They present to medical attention with breast cancer at an advanced stage and they therefore have a poorer prognosis [17]. Reasons proposed for presentation with advanced disease depends largely on the population studied and may include the biology of the tumour, unwillingness of the patient to consult medical attention due to fear, denial [18] or pursuit of alternative therapy [19–21], or lack of patient education [22] but is largely unknown. Most patients, as in our study, use CAM therapy as an adjunct to conventional treatment [2, 5]. Only 12% of our patients refused conventional treatment preferring CAM alternatives. Despite widespread use of CAM therapy among cancer patients, the efficacy in the course of cancer therapy has not been substantially confirmed [10, 18]. Jacobson et al. reviewed English language publications from 1980 to 1997, looking for supportive evidence for CAM therapy and although most studies lacked vigorous scientific design, there was no definite survival benefit with the addition of CAM therapy [10]. Physical methods such as acupuncture, massage and mind-body techniques have modest evidence to show patient benefit with respect to anxiety, depression and quality of life [23, 24]. The use of CAM therapies has also been shown to correlate with patients coping styles and may fulfil an important psychological need in some patients [25].
The reasons patients give for using CAM are varied, but many concentrate around feelings of control over therapy or of aiding the body over come disease and harmful effects of traditional therapy [4, 26, 27]. Most CAM techniques and substances are felt to be innocuous, as most patients associate 'natural' therapy with safe and non-toxic therapy, a view supported by many health food stores [19]. Side effects and adverse effects are consequently minimized and as a result, poorly communicated to consumers. This perception of 'natural' may encourage patients to take CAM to the exclusion of the conventional therapies with the multiple documented side effects and adverse events [19]. Indeed the global consumption of these therapies continues to rise [9].
Our patient population using CAM was similar to others reported; all woman, in a higher income bracket, currently in a relationship, and more likely to join or be part of a support group [2, 14, 25, 28, 29]. However, the non-CAM users in our study were more likely to have graduate degrees and thus higher education. This inverse relationship between CAM use and education has been previously described by Dy et al. where participants in phase I trials were found to be less likely to take pharmacologic CAM if they had attained a high level of formal education[30]. However, the majority of evidence supports a higher use of CAM therapy in those with higher socioeconomic and education levels [2, 5, 9, 25, 28, 29]. Ethnicity has also been found to be a CAM stratifying characteristic [26, 29]. Although we have a small sample size, those of Asian heritage were more likely to pursue CAM therapy. This may emphasize the importance of community and societal support on patient treatment decisions and ultimately cultural acceptance of traditional medicine.
CAM users in our study were more likely to have the support of a partner, family doctor, and be in or interested in joining a support group. This difference in amount of support whether from a partner, family doctor or group delineates our population in a dramatic fashion. The participation in a support group is recognized as highly predictive of CAM use, why is not known but maybe intrinsic to the patients joining the group or as an end result of group interaction [2, 21, 29, 31].
Thirty percent of our patients in the CAM group compared with 14% in the non-CAM group had combination treatment with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Similarly, the literature reflects, the more strenuous the treatment the more likely patients are to use CAM [5, 17]. Most women used CAM as an adjunct to this intensive therapy, 75% believe that it helped with symptom control, assisted traditional treatments, boosts the immune system and increased the quality of life, while attributing it little to no curative properties. The majority (86%) of our patients taking CAM believed that it helped and were positive about their experience. However, two women in our study refused mainstream treatment and were persisting with primary CAM therapy. Due to the questionnaire form we were unable to better characterize this segment of our population.
Earlier studies showed patients using CAM had higher levels of stress, exhibited more severe anxiety and worse depression[3]. These patients consequently had a worse quality of life. As we have previously published, the CAM users in an unselected population of breast cancer patients exhibited higher levels of anxiety and depression over the non-users[14]. However, our LABC patients, in actuality seemed to be suffering less severe anxiety and felt their mood to be higher (Figure 1). This maybe explained by Moshen et al., who postulated there are two subgroups of patients, one group who actively copes with stress and another who has considerable adjustment problems [25]. The latter group with adjustment problems were more likely to use greater than four CAM therapies and express a depressive coping behaviour. The five patients who used greater than four CAM therapies in our study described a greater level of anxiety but not depression.
Anxiety is a feeling centred on fear and involves worry, apprehension and dread. Those patients with strong beliefs in CAM therapy are able to lessen these feelings, while those who are 'non-believers' are unable assuage this anxiety. Depression meanwhile, is associated with feelings of sadness and hopelessness; CAM therapy provides a positive influence on conventional treatment and may moderate these thoughts. Differences between CAM users and nonusers with respect to anxiety and depression maybe difficult to show in patients with advanced cancers i.e. LABC, and may explain the difference between the non selected and LABC population.
Our studies primary limitation is sample size, and although our breast centre specializes in treatment of locally advanced breast cancer; with increased screening and education this is becoming a rare diagnosis. Consequently statistical evaluation of the data was unable to be performed and instead a descriptive study was chosen. Small sample size may also account for the discrepancy seen in non-CAM users having a higher level of education. Patient selection in an oncology clinic may have overlooked patients avoiding conventional medicine for treatment of their breast cancer and selection bias may be present. In conclusion, due to the fact this is a single institution study, where the diagnosis and treatment of LABC is a priority the results may not be comparable to other non-selected populations of breast cancer patients.
Studies are needed to determine the mechanism of action of many of the popular additives, and thus elucidate the side effects and adverse effects. Certainly, CAM therapies are used in part as coping mechanisms by many patients. However the benefits or drawback of this type of therapy is poorly understood, consequently more education and research aimed at both physician and patient is necessary to elucidate the complex psychotherapeutic effect of many of these techniques.

I've fished the Manamuca's and Yasawa Islands for most of my life. I know all the fishing spots and what's happening on a daily basis through the marina & village coconut wireless. I'll suggest a departure time depending on tide movements and what's being recently caught. All the fishing gear is in fully maintained and in excellent condition, the owners are very hands-on to ensure top performance of equipment. I promote catch & release and only boat fish that is enough for a meal. I am a custodian of our oceans and committed to sustainable fishing practices so more generations will enjoy fishing in Fijian waters. I'm always part of the monthly comps that the Denarau Game & Sports Fishing Club hold.

Today on the Oakeley blog we're going to delve a little deeper into one of the most famous local legends..... the tale of Gelert's Grave. The pretty village of Beddgelert is best known for this sad, sad, legend - the story of the faithful dog Gelert. Gelert was slain in rage by his owner, Prince Llywelyn, who thought that the hound had murdered his baby son. Llywelyn was in fact mistaken - brave Gelert had defended the prince's son from the jaws of a hungry wolf, but it was too late. In repentance, Prince Llywelyn buried his faithful dog in a grave by the river, which still stands today. Here ...

It has  a small population of just over 3,000 and the High Street maintains it's charm with independent shops, cafes and restaurants. The English name of Menai Bridge, of course comes from the suspension bridge that was opened in 1826. Where:             M ...

Exhaust fan and light not working
Model Number: 363.62709200 Brand: Sears Age: 1 - 5 years
My wife was changing the bulb (actually has two) and the glass part twisted out of the socket and she said there was a pop as if a fuse blew. I turned off the breaker to the microwave and I got the socket out with a pair of needle nose and replaced the bulb. but... now the light and the fan doesnt work. I took off the cover and found the fuse but it is ok. When I pull it out the microwave stops working all together. The microwave still heats, spins, and so on, it works just fine but no light or exhaust fan. The light and fan button on the front still scroll through the Hi, Lo, and off and you can hear a click... but just dont work. I looked it over for a second fuse but didnt see anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark firstname.lastname@example.com Related Models |

Help me make a new split
Help me make a new split
Ok we'll i'm takin a break from DC for maybe 10 weeks or so, my joints are startin to feel it because my strength is really gettin up their fast. So i'd like to go back to straight sets for a while with more than 1 exercise but i'll still be going to failure, writing down my weights and doing the intense DC stretches. Now i need to bring up my chest and arms so i was thinking:
Monday: Chest+Back
Tuesday Off
Wednesday: Biceps+Triceps+Shoulders
Thursday: Hamstrings+Quads+Calfs
Friday: Abs+Forearms
I'll be doing 30 minutes are so of cardio after each workout and i'll stick to 3 exercises per body part tops and concentrate on always beating my previous weights. - 01-24-2007, 02:25 PM

Out of the crop of youngsters receiving their GCSE results this morning will emerge the inevitable stories of the over-achievers: the super-brainy kids who get 17 A*s, the 12-year-old with the highest mark in the country for maths. Nowhere in the coverage, however, will we see the child whose results paper is not such a constellation but instead a list of Ds and Es.
What future lies ahead for these 16-year-olds? If the door to A-levels and university is closed to them, then there are vocational courses and thousands of apprenticeship places. But a growing number will find themselves shunted into a siding labelled Neet – not in education, employment or training – a group which is now estimated to number 1.09 million.
It cannot be a happy place, to be not only out of work and education, but also to be bracketed in this way. Unhappier still, then, to be accused by a minister of lacking the "grit" to get off their backsides and find work. It is unfortunate that the minister in question is Nick Hurd, the son of a former foreign secretary, Douglas Hurd, and a fourth generation MP and an Old Etonian. Mr Hurd junior received a hammering on Twitter for his remarks. If his Conservative colleague Greg Clark, the Treasury minister who is the son of a milkman from Middlesbrough, had said the same thing, the scope for Twitter's opprobrium would be drastically reduced. Mr Hurd is an easy target because of the school he went to.
Does Mr Hurd even know what grit is, beyond the brick dust that flies during the Wall Game? Perhaps Mr Clark would not accuse today's youngsters of lacking "grit" because he knows what it takes to rise from a humble background to the heart of government, rather than naturally blending in to the world of Whitehall?
Mr Hurd can do nothing about the family he was born into. We should not hold his upbringing against him. But just as it is not his fault which school he went to, it is not the fault of a typical young "Neet" that they are out of work, or have failed to get good enough grades to do A-levels or go to university. When a child is not a straight-As student, or does not excel in another way, say at sport or music, it is too easy to lack the confidence to argue their way into a job.
This is partly the fault of teachers focusing too much attention on those predicted Cs or above at GCSE, to improve a school's position in the league table, and allowing the stragglers to slip down the grades. But it is also the fault of an education system for championing the high-flyers while ignoring the growing group of youngsters destined to become Neets. We cannot all achieve A*s, but to get Ds and Es at GCSE should not be a mark of future failure. These children will have other skills and talents that can be coaxed out of them.
It is Mr Hurd's choice of the word "grit" which is so offensive, of course. To say that a person lacks grit suggests they are missing a gumption gene, that they are pathologically incapable of work or learning, which is just not true. Far from lacking grit, it takes sheer guts to want to continue in education when your school thinks you're not good enough, just as it takes courage to carry on looking for work when you're getting knockbacks from employers because your CV isn't right and you mumble and sit with shoulders slumped in interviews.
No, it is not grit that these youngsters lack, but prospects. There may be jobs and apprenticeships out there, but many are short term, on zero-hours contracts. With the decline in manufacturing has come the rise in semi-skilled, high-turnover work which offers little bedrock for a career.
If the outlook is bad for Neets, the situation for today's university graduates is also grim – one in 10 fails to find a job within six months of graduating, and for those who do find work, many are behind a bar or in other posts which do not require a graduate's nous. The tragic case of 21-year-old Merrill Lynch intern Moritz Erhardt has exposed a culture of punishing hours for those trying to compete for lucrative City jobs. Across the spectrum, the picture is bleak. Now there are signs of a property price boom; this is pushing a first home for young people further out of their grasp.
It would be fanciful to suggest an easy solution to improve an entire generation's prospects, but there is a way to help under-achievers – and this is where Mr Hurd and I would agree. Schools should teach "soft skills" such as confidence-building as part of the national curriculum, to give any child a fighting chance. At Eton, they don't need to tell pupils to hold their heads high – it just happens. But that doesn't mean the rest of us don't possess the wherewithal, the skills, the grit, to succeed – we just need to be told we can do it. If the child of a foreign secretary can make it to the top of government, so can the child of a milkman from Middlesbrough.

Next February, we are told, Garry Kasparov, champion of the PCA and the human race, will take on "Deep Blue", a machine being bol-ted together by IBM boffins. This game gives an idea of what he will be up against.
White: Deep Blue
Black: Star Socrates
World Computer Champ-ionships; Hong Kong 1995.
1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5 3.e3 e6 4.Bd3 Nc6 5.Nbd2 Bd6 6.e4 e5
Both machines go their own way, disregarding man-made theory with all its fashionable errors and misprints.
7.0-0 0-0 8.exd5 Nxd4 9.c4 Bg4 10.Re1 Nd7 11.h3 Bh5 12.g4
Less through any aggressive intention than a simple desire to prevent Black's f5.
12...Bg6 13.Bxg6 fxg6!? 14.Kg2 Kh8 15.Nxd4 exd4 16.Ne4 Ne5 17.Bg5! Qd7 18.f4 Nxc4 19.Qxd4 Nb6 20.Nxd6 Qxd6 21.Re5
In cutting off his bishop with Bg5 and f4, the machine doubtless realised that 21...h6 could now be met by 22.Bxh6! gxh6 23.Re6+.
21...Rae8 22.Rae1 Rae5 23.Rxe5 Nc8
Preventing Be7, but taking the pressure off d5.
24.Re6 Qd7 25.Kh2 Kg8 26.Qe5 Qa4 27.Qxc7 Qxa2 28.Qe5 Qa4 29.d6 Qc2+ 30.Kg3 Qd1 (see diagram) 31.Kh4!!
What man would dare display such bravado? We have heard of artifical intelligence and artificial stupidity. This is the first recorded case of artificial chutzpah. The threat of Qg1+ is cheekily dealt with.
31...Qd2 32.f5! Qf2+ 33.Qg3 Qd4 34.Qe3! Qd5 35.Qd2!
The manoeuvre is complete and Black must submit to an exchange of queens .
35...Qxd2 36.Bxd2 Nb6 37.fxg6 hxg6 38.Kg5!
Total justification of 31.Kh4! White wins the ending because his king is so aggressively placed.
38...Rd8 39.Bc3 Rd7 40.Kxg6 Kf8 41.Bd4 Nd5 42.Kf5 b6 43.h4 Nb4 44.h5 Nc6 45.Be3 Nd8 46.h6!!
Well played, sir! 46...Nxe6 now loses to 47.Kxe6 with h7 to follow.
46...Rf7+ 47.Ke4! g5
Or 47...Nxe6 48.h7!
48.Rg6 Rh7 49.Bxg5 Nb7 50.Kd5 Kf7 51.Rf6+resigns.
Lest we forget, Deep Blue will be thinking a thousand times faster - a billion moves a second - in 1996.

Tcl/Tk: The Swiss Army Knife of Web Applications
For some projects, you may want to do more than the browser is able to support. By providing the end user with a plug-in, you get the benefits of being able to run a real application right inside their existing browser without too much of a hassle. One drawback to most plug-ins is that they run only under Microsoft Windows, making them unsuitable for real cross-platform work. Tcl's plug-in doesn't have this problem—you can download precompiled binaries for Linux, Solaris, SunOS and yes, even MS Windows. You may also find that by the time you read this, it has been ported to other platforms as well, such as the Macintosh OS.
Using the plug-in, you can run Tclets, which are small Tcl/Tk scripts that run in a restricted (for security reasons) Tcl environment. You and your users can define just how much access you want the plug-in to provide, eliminating or rerouting commands and situations which could be hazardous to your machine's health.
Once you have a Tclet created and your users have the Tcl plug-in, reference it in an HTML page using the
tag. So, if your Tclet is called foo.tcl, the tag would look like this:
<embed src="foo.tcl" width=400 height=300>If you're wondering what kinds of things have already been made to take advantage of the plug-in, look no further than http://www.tcltk.com/tclets/, which contains everything from Tetris clones to Adaptive Optics demonstrations and VRML editors.
Server-parsed HTML has been around for awhile, ranging from basic server-side includes (SSI) to integrated environments complete with database access. It provides dynamically-generated HTML pages without the overhead of calling an external CGI program, and makes it easy even for non-programmers to access all the functionality it provides.
Typically, when a file with a special extension such as .foo is referenced, the server scans through the HTML and looks for special tags. When those tags are found, it executes whatever instructions they contain, then replaces those sections in the document with the output from the command. Those tags could be anything from the current date to a dynamically generated HTML table with a product price list.
Several solutions exist for using Tcl as a server-parsed scripting language. Two of the most powerful commercial products are NeoWebScript from NeoSoft and Velocigen for Tcl from Binary Evolution. Both products extend the Apache web server with an in-process module, so that they are running all the time in wait mode, ready to do their work. One big difference between the two is that while Velocigen follows the common trend of using a special file extension to identify a file which needs parsing, NeoWebScript follows the more traditional SSI structure of embedding the command in comments. Examples are shown in Listing 3 and Listing 4.
With these more advanced server-side parsers, you can also obtain a level of data persistence through internal variables. For example, you could make a web scavenger hunt on your site to keep a list of the visited pages, and when all the required ones have been seen by a particular user, that user wins. Wins what? I don't know—let marketing worry about it.
You won't be able to go out and compete with Apache for market share, but web servers created in Tcl are easy to write, extensible and portable across all platforms. As we saw earlier, sockets are easy to implement in Tcl, which gives you more time to focus on customizing the server to meet your needs, rather than spending it on getting the basics to work.
If you want to see a nice implementation of this concept, take a look at Tcl-HTTPD, freely available from Scriptics. It has CGI support, server-parsed scripting and a host of dynamic configuration options, just to name a few aspects. More basic examples are also available from a variety of Tcl sources on the web, as well as an excellent article by Steve Ball and a white paper by Brent Welch. (See Resources.)
Tcl provides an easy way of addressing almost any web programming issue. With a large development community, a wide selection of extensions and freely available function libraries, it is a web power tool waiting to be discovered. Whether client- or server-side, you get a lot of options without a lot of hassle.

Kickstarting the Congress campaign for February 4 assembly polls from his native Mehraj village here on Sunday, state Congress president Captain Amarinder Singh announced to finish chief minister Parkash Singh Badal politically by contesting the polls from Lambi. Captain also challenged Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal to join the fight in Lambi.
Addressing a gathering in support of Congress candidate from Rampura Phul segment Gurpreet Singh Kangar, Captain Amarinder said that he wanted to contest from two seats, Patiala and Lambi. "I want to contest from Patiala because I started my political career from there and this is my last assembly election. I have requested the party high command that I want to contest from Lambi also to deal with Badal," he said. Later, talking to the media, he said that he has urged the party high command in this regard and a decision will be taken in a day or two.
Launching a scathing attack against the Badals, he vowed to punish those guilty of religious sacrilege and the drug mafia. Vowing to wipe out the Badals from the political scene, he said that they had brought the state to its knees with their misgovernance and misdeeds, and have been looting the people of the state for the past 10 years. He reiterated his promise to finish off the drug mafia within four weeks of forming the government.
Describing Kejriwal as a 'slimy crook and a liar', Captain Amarinder said the AAP was getting workers from other states to campaign and coordinate the elections since they did not have any trust on or ties with Punjabis. He said that the AAP has planned to bring 40,000 workers from other states to deploy on polling stations on the polling day.
"He (Badal) is a chief minister, you are also a chief minister and I am a former chief minister. If you have courage, come and contest from Lambi," he said, challenging Keriwal.
He said that Kejriwal wanted to become Punjab chief minister from the back door by not contesting the polls, but after the polls if his party wins. "This is not in the nature of Punjabi people. Punjabis like to face it upfront," he said. Targeting both the SAD and the AAP, Captain Amarinder said that if left to the AAP or the Akalis, Punjab will never be able to restore its lost pride and glory.
He promised to bring industrial growth back on its rails, and reiterated his commitment to continue with all the ongoing public welfare schemes, accusing the Badals of spreading misconceptions to mislead the people. "From power to water to the atta-dal scheme, no welfare programme will be stopped by my government," he declared.
