Is the Robert Novak era at CNN coming to an end?
Novak has appeared on the network since 1980. But in recent months two of Novak's politically oriented shows — the weekday Crossfire and weekend The Capital Gang — have been canceled. Last week, Inside Politics, which occasionally featured Novak, was pulled in favor of The Situation Room, the network's new three-hour, late-afternoon news show.
For the time being, Novak won't be seen on any of CNN's remaining shows. CNN has pulled him off the air indefinitely, following an Aug. 4 outburst on Inside Politics.
Novak's outburst happened 10 minutes before the end of the show in the midst of an exchange among Novak, host Ed Henry and liberal analyst James Carville. They were talking about the possible Senate candidacy of Florida congresswoman Katherine Harris when Carville needled Novak and tried to interrupt.
"He's got to show the right-wingers that he's got backbone," Carville said. "Go ahead, the Wall Street Journal editorial page is watching. Show them you're tough."
Novak, shown on the screen sitting next to Carville, waved his right hand and replied: "I think that's bull—-, and I hate that. Just let it go." While Henry addressed another question to Carville, Novak stood up, walked off the set behind Carville — fully visible to viewers — and apparently pulled off his microphone.
The veteran conservative pundit and columnist has been under fire in recent months for his role in the identification of CIA operative Valerie Plame. Novak's column identified her, and questions surrounding administration leaks — Novak indicated he learned Plame's identity from two "senior administration officials" — led to an ongoing investigation being conducted by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. Novak's refusal to discuss the matter publicly has drawn criticism from many quarters.
Henry later told Reuters that "I had told him in advance that we were going to ask him about the CIA leak case. He was not here for me to able to ask him about that, and hopefully we'll be able to ask him about that in the future."
But Novak said his outburst, and subsequent suspension, had nothing to do with Henry's planned question.
"That had nothing to do with it, absolutely nothing," Novak said. "I was sorry he said that."
However, New York University Journalism Professor Jay Rosen's blog quotes an e-mail from reporter Scott Heiser of Financial Times, which said that Novak walked out of an Aug. 1 Young America's Foundation National Conservative Student Conference, when a question came up about the Plame investigation.
Regardless, the question has to be asked: Is CNN trying to marginalize Novak?
Certainly, with Novak unwilling to comment on the Plame-leak story, the conservative pundit has essentially marginalized himself on one of the top political and journalism stories of the year.
CNN, and its website, have covered Novak's involvement in the Plame-leak story as aggressively as any other news outlet.

Plants vs. Zombies Review
- An almost perfect port of the PC title.
- Beautiful presentation.
- Very addictive.
- Not as many extra modes as the PC version.
If the thought of a portable Plants vs Zombies appeals to you, or you just enjoy well made, fun, addictive games, this one is worth your time and money.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
Popcap is known for some very popular addictive titles and has had some great success in porting these to the iphone. Now, just short of a year of its PC release, the cutesy tower defense game Plants vs. Zombies is now available on this mobile device. There is a pack of zombies roaming the neighbourhood and as a local homeowner, you must use the power of your garden (and the help of Crazy Dave) to repel the undead horde.
Control is fantastic. Every action is a touch away, and even when things get intense, there's no accidental placements of plants on the grid. As with the PC game, you need sunlight to grow your plants, either from sunflowers, or up above. Other plants are on cooldown timers, but once they're available and you have the necessary amount of sunlight, you can place them on the grid. At the end of every level you recieve a new plant to play with, so there's always new strategies to try out.
The plants and zombies themselves are visually represented by a crisp, vibrant cartoon style, and are often quite humourous. The sound is decent and the music catchy and appropriate. The main campaign is fifty levels with lots of variation, and once you finish there is an almanac, and a quick play mode.
While not as chock full of content as the PC release, Plants vs Zombies is a fun, addictive game that should entertain both casual and dedicated iphone gamers.
I bought this as soon as they had it available for iPhone since I'd already fallen in love with the PC version - best money I have spent on an app ever! Gameplay is super close to the PC version, and it's easy to get started. If you like games on your iPhone, this one is a must-have!

Renee Rouleau VITAMIN C & E COMPLEX Reviews
Great product!
I love this stuff. I use it in the morning and it makes my skin so soft and silky smooth...and it's got a nice pleasant scent. Totally fresh and uplifting. It also works great before I apply foundation since it makes my skin super-soft. I noticed an improvement in the clarity of my skin after a few uses. This product is a must from Renee's line. A little goes a long way so you get your money's worth and it's a lot cheaper than similar products on the market. You won't be disappointed! — 7 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 4 people said helpful

Poes (Revision 43)
Jovani in Hyrule Castle Town has a crushed spirit, literally, and it's your job to locate the remains. The pieces are being held by 60 Poes around Hyrule. Return to him once you collect 20 to be rewarded with a bottle. You may have seen the floating lanterns throughout Hyrule - those are being held by the Poes, and the ones outside only appear at night. Use wolf Link's sense to see them and then attack. After two hits they'll drop to the ground. Press A once more to finish them off and collect its soul.
EditArbiter's Grounds
There are four Poes in this temple:
- Shortly after you enter, three Poes will materialize and all but one will soon leave. Take him down.
- To find the second Poe, head to the room surrounded by blue torches in the northwest section of the temple. Use the Wolf's sense to spot another Poe on the east wall.
- The third Poe is located in the hallway with the legions of skeletons. Pull the chain along the west wall to reveal it.
- The final Poe is in a room on the east side of the temple. This one will split into four; the brightest one is your target.
EditCastle Town
- The first Poe is impossible to miss. You'll find him inside Jovani's house located on Castle Town's west side.
EditCave of Ordeals
With the bridge piece in Gerudo Desert restored, return to its original resting place in the southeast portion of the desert to enter the Cave of Ordeals. There are three Poes here.
- First Poe is on the 17th floor.
- Second Poe Is on the 33rd floor.
- The final Poe is on the 44th floor.
EditCity in the Sky
- To find the first Poe, head to the east side's third floor. Grapple onto the flying plants to skip over a couple of walls, then Clawshot to the plant heading south. From here, latch onto the final plant and lower yourself to the Poe below.
- Proceed to the outdoor area surrounding the room where you found the Big Key. Cross the ropes in wolf form to the east side to find a Poe.
EditDeath Mountain
- On the path leading to the Goron Mines, use the Goron on the east side to grab hold of ledge leading to a Poe, though he's only visible at night.
EditFaron Woods
- At night, use Midna to cross the swamp to a hollowed out tree trunk. There you'll find a Poe.
EditGerudo Desert
- After landing from the cannon blast, check to the south at night for a Poe.
- During nightfall, visit the area where the axe-wielding goblin was inside the camp to find a Poe.
- There's a waiting Poe to the right of the Arbiter's Ground's entrance at the top of the staircase.
- Clawshot to the tree west of the enemy's fortress at night to find a Poe.
- Transform into a wolf immediately after finding the Poe above and dig where you are to find a cave below containing the next Poe.
- Look for a Poe at night in one of the trenches to the northeast.
- Visit the hilltop in the southeast corner of the desert. Once the broken piece of bridge is restored to the Bridge of Eldin, a Poe will reside atop the hill where the bridge was at night.
- Check the graveyard at night for the finale Poe.
- Push the northeast gravestone at night to reveal a Poe.
EditHidden Village
- You'll find a Poe on the northeast building's balcony.
EditHyrule Field
- Eldin province - In the field south of Kakariko Village, proceed to the area southeast of the bridge spanning the Gorge. Look for the Poe near a tree atop a hill.
- Eldin province - Head to the field south of Kakariko village and look for a large boulder blocking access to a cave on the southern side. Destroy the boulder and proceed to the northwest portion of the cave. Turn right at the fork in the road to find the Poe (the other trail leads to a heart piece).
- Faron province - Check north of the bridge to find a Poe at the hill's top.
- Lanayru province - From Castle Down, head south to a damaged amphitheater. Look for the Poe at the base of the area.
- Lanayru province - Look for the Poe floating above the bridge in the northern part of the field.
- Lanayru province - In the field on Castle Town's north side, cross over to the eastside of the bridge and look for a circle of grass. Use wolf link to dig there and enter a cave. Inside you'll find two Poes.
- Lanayru province - This Poe is the second of two in the cave mentioned above.
- Lanayru province - Check on the east side of the body of water in the field south of Castle Town to find this Poe.
- Lanayru province - After restoring the west Castle Town bridge to its former self, look for the Poe on top of the bridge.
- Lanayru province - Take the northeast path out of Faron province which leads into Lanayru Province. Follow the path up to the bridge. From there, destroy the boulders along the eastern cliff with bomb arrows to reveal clawshot tiles. Use them to get to the Poe.
EditKakariko Village
- Venture to the top of Barnes Bomb Shop (either via Goron or the ladders inside) and then make your way to the destroyed storage building to find a Poe at night.
- From the destroy storage building, proceed up the winding path to find another Poe near the building.
EditLake Hylia
- The first Poe is hiding at night on the reward platform's first level of the Flight-by-Fowl game. Use the cannon to reach the game's HQ, then float down with a Cucco.
- After leaping from the Flight-by-fowl game with a cucco in hand, do a 180 and land on the ledge right below the building to find a Poe at night.
- A Poe can be found along the stretch of land on the lake's west side at night.
- Visit the land on the south side of the lake at night for a Poe.
- Climb the southeastern tower for the final Poe.
EditLantern Cave #1
- You can find this cavern south of the Kakariko Gorge bridge. Inside, you'll find a Poe in the northwest area.
EditLantern Cavern #2
There's a cave located south of Lake Hylia's Howling stone that contains three Poes:
- The first Poe is near the entrance.
- Poe #2 is about halfway through the cave.
- The final Poe is near the cave's exit.
EditSacred Grove

- A Poe is located on a ledge to the southwest of the entrance to Snowpeak Ruins.
- Check the tree in the southern end the Snowpeak area for a Poe.
- There's a Poe by a tree near the cave leading to Snowpeak Summit.
EditSnowpeak Cave

EditSnowpeak Ruins
- The Poe is in the foyer hovering above the icy floor.
- While in the foyer, destroy the middle suit of armor on the west side, near the entrance, to reveal a Poe.
- In the second floor's southwestern room, use the ball and chain to bust down the ice wall and reveal a Poe.
EditTemple of Time
- Move the statue in the Southeast corner with the Dominion rod to reveal an alcove containing a Poe.
- In the large circular room with the elevating platform, use the Dominion Rod on one of the statutes behind the ground floor's golden gate and activate the switch. You can now access the Poe.

Unicode 5.2, Hebrew & Mistakes. What are the mistakes? Posting sooooooon.......
Unicode, Hebrew & Mistakes
Primary tabs
Let me guess, does it have anything to do with atnah hafukh and yerah ben yomo?
... also other things :) but since you mentioned it.
The name Atnah Hafukh was given by Prof. Yeivin. He said that the distinction between atnah hafukh and yerah ben yomo 'serves as an indicator of the accuracy and purity of the tradition of the accentuation in a manuscript.'
See the editions by Prof. Dotan (Adi,1973) and Prof. Breuer -- there's a clear distinction between atnah hafukh and yerah ben yomo.
I don't understand why we waited so long; every decade they add couple glyphs :)
Now this is funny:
Unicode, page 237: "but some users in recent decades have begun to reintroduce this distinction"
'some users'?! what they mean by 'some users'?
BTW, there's a draft by the SII (2/2010) without this distinction! (I emailed them, so let's wait and see what is the answer)
See the editions by Prof. Dotan (Adi,1973) and Prof. Breuer -- there's a clear distinction between atnah hafukh and yerah ben yomo.
Yes, but the way in which Unicode has chosen to encode atnah hafukh is problematic, because this is a character disunification, i.e. both atnah hafukh was previously presumed to be encoded as the same character as yerah ben yomo; now, it is encoded distinctly, but with the necessary caveat that existing documents will not make this distinction. However, because it is the form of yerah ben yomo that changes between when the distinction is not made and when it is made -- the atnah hafukh is the typical form when no distinction is made --, there is an inevitable incompatibility between existing documents and new fonts. Simply put, an existing document using U+05A2 for both atnah hafukh and yerah ben yomo will display with the wrong glyph in a font that supports this character distinction with appropriate glyphs for atnah hafukh and yerah ben yomo. There's no easy way around this, which is why the current build of the SBL Hebrew font still does not make a visual distinction between these two characters: the atnah hafukh glyph is used for both. I'm willing to change this, but have been waiting to see what feedback there is from users.
I don't understand why we waited so long; every decade they add couple glyphs
Frankly, I think the Israeli standards body must bear a lot of blame for the problems in Unicode encoding of Hebrew. They appear to have had almost no interest at all in anything except the encoding of modern standard Hebrew, and gave only cursory and unsystematic attention to Biblical text. These are the people who encoded the Biblical upper punctum extraordinarium but not the lower one, on the grounds that the latter was very rare. Even if a character is used only once, it is still a character.
Regarding the text that ends up in the Unicode Standard, e.g. "some users in recent decades have begun to reintroduce this distinction", this generally reflects whatever was said in the proposal(s) for the new characters. In the case of vowel and accent distinctions, e.g. qamats qatan vs qamats gadol or atnah hafukh vs yerah ben yomo, these were not as uncontroversial as one might have expected, hence 'some users', acknowledging that at least some members of the Unicode Hebrew community argued that these disunifications were unnecessary and would break existing practices.
Whether the blame goes to the Israeli standards, or the Unicode Consortium, or both of them -- the problem still remains. Your description -- "There's no easy way around this...the atnah hafukh glyph is used for both" -- is basically the 'by-product' that could have been avoided a long time ago.
Established editors and scholars such as Prof. Dotan, Prof. Breuer and Prof. Yeivin cared about that distinction. When the information is reachable I don't think we should wait a long time to add one glyph or two.
I don't know whether or not these different proposals are hot topics of debate, but not everything should be based on 'popular' demand, or 'popular' agreement. For example, I've been working for a l-o-n-g time on the Babylonian vocalization & masorah. There's no doubt that the average user & publisher would not need that, but the academic world would need that. But if adding one dot or two is based on the rare factor, then I think that the Babylonian vocalization would be added when the Messiah is here.
BTW, to paraphrase Prof. Yeivin, this distinction serves as an indicator of the accuracy of the bible's editor.
Not Hebrew.... but close. A little typo:
David: I've been working for a l-o-n-g time on the Babylonian vocalization & masorah
Great, do you want to put a formal encoding proposal together for this? I can help put it together in appropriate form for submission to Unicode and ISO 10646, and can also get the Canadian JTC1 SC2 standards body to add their name to it for greater weight.
Characters are added to Unicode when people document them and submit proposals. If no one is doing this work, then it doesn't happen. The Israeli standards body shows no interest at all in anything beyond standard modern Hebrew and Tiberian vocalisation, so waiting for them to do anything is pointless. The recent additions have all been as a result of individual submissions.
[I have been in contact with one other person interested in encoding Babylonian vowel marks, but didn't receive a full and systematic list from her suitable for a proposal.]
I'll drop a note to the editors re. the Samaritan typo.
> Great, do you want to put a formal encoding proposal together for this?
Why not.
> I have been in contact with one other person interested in encoding
> Babylonian vowel marks, but didn't receive a full and systematic list...
Is there a sample, or something? when was that?
That was a few years ago. I probably have some notes kicking around in an email archive, but as I said, this wasn't full and systematic documentation, which is why it didn't progress to a formal proposal.
The Unicode Consortium has failed even after all this time to present Hebrew correctly and completely.
For example, there is much easily accessed and read on the Internet about the shva-na symbol or glyph, and grammatical character. Yet, to this day, they sleep.
John, do you want to wake them up.
(Btw, thank you for your prayers.)

PS3 to pick up famed 360 exclusive?
Whilst we can't reveal any specifics right now, we can now reveal that the PlayStation 3 will play host to a popular 360 favourite. The title, which has to remain under wraps with us for the time being, will be released towards the end of the year. We've been promised more information in roughly a month's time, at which point we'll be able to share the specifics, first.
Our contact has also let us know that the studio will have other exciting news to share soon enough. Note that we can not talk about this further at this stage.
Thesixthaxis is a reliable source when it comes to rumors. If this is true my bet is on a Star Ocean IV port, but does that classify as a 'favorite'? Hmm…
Upcoming Killzone 2 Patch and DLC Details
Posted by Jay in Killzone 2 on July 10th, 2009
Guerrilla Games just posted an update on the official blog pertaining to the upcoming "Patch 1.28", which is set to be released Tuesday, July 14th at 8AM GMT worldwide (for those of us in the states, that 12AM Pacific). When the patch is released, the servers will be down for testing and whatnot to make sure everything is stable, so keep that in mind. Here's a few of the patch changes/additions/fixes:
- Feature – Detailed information screen when browsing games. Items displayed include: Friendly Fire, Faction Balancing, Custom Weapons and Custom Badges as well as the region, game size, selected maps and allowed Missions and Badges.
- Feature – Higher values for Bodycount mode. Players can now create games with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100 and 200 points to increase the time of the mode for 32 player games.
- Feature – Moderators can now create double-points events.
New loading screens. - Fix for network error displayed when trying to log in with another users account.
- Exploit – Radec Academy collision fix to prevent players being revived inside a pillar and using it to their advantage.
As far as the DLC goes, not too much has been released on that except for a few tidbits from the update and the maps' names. It's called "Napalm & Cordite", which includes the two new maps"Suljeva Cliffside" and "Arctower Landing". Additional details about the new DLC pack will be made public next week.
Uncharted 2 New Trailer is Story Heavy
Posted by Eddie in PS3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves on July 10th, 2009
Uncharted 2 showing it can stand toe to toe with the top Action/Adventure movies. Great acting combined with awesome graphics will make this game a nail biting experience I'm sure. Release date still pending as "Fall".
Also here is an interview showing several new areas of the ice cave and how it is puzzle heavy.
Ghostbusters demo impressions.
Posted by Trev in PS3, PS3 software on July 9th, 2009
Ghostbusters The Video Game demo went up on the Playstation Store today and I immediately tried it out. First things first the graphics are not as bad as i feared. After reading Eurogamer's Face Off I was put off fearing PS3 owners had got an inferior product, there are noticeable v-sync issues though and the textures can look bland but this never detracts from the gameplay. First problems I had with the demo was the sound was the same volume wherever I was in respect to who was talking which detracted from the experience for me. I wanted their voices to get louder the closer i was and vice-versa. Next problem I had was with not knowing where to go, maybe i missed audio instructions but i found myself running into doors and using trial and error until i found the right path, which is incredibly linear. Throughout the demo there is only one path to follow, whilst it may twist and turn you always know you're following the same tracks, perhaps even more so than in Call of Duty titles.
The good news is that you really do feel like you are part of the Ghostbusters, the Proton Pack is a joy to operate and trapping ghosts is awesome. This basically involves pummeling the ghost with your proton stream until they are weak enough to be maneuvered into the trap. You must then wrangle them into the trap like you would reel in a fish when fishing. Its intuitive and extremely satisfying when pulled off. The writing and story from this small section of the game is also brilliant and feels like it is part of the Ghostbusters' universe, no doubt helped by the fact Ackroyd and Ramis wrote the script.
The demo seems to give a good indication of the full game's single-player experience and it looks like one that is enjoyable but not long lasting as if the overly scripted level is anything to go by it will get incredibly repetitive to repeat it all. To me this game is definitely a rental or a purchase when it has been reduced in price as i don't see enough value from this demo to warrant a full price purchase.

HI! thanks for the comment!
Yeah maybe it is because of france. But I was looking through a forum and I think the people there said something about Funimation rating it MA because they wanted to avoid most of the complaints about all the racial jokes and stuff that people might find offensive. I hate people who can't take a joke.
I'm glad you were able to get a copy. hmm maybe I should move over there. ^_^
Hey, nice profile! : >
Everything I've liked you've liked and everything I've hated you've hated, interesting ^^.

I want to do it alphabetically too, but then awesome show like Welcome to the NHK! and Zero no Tsukaima would be coming last :'(
I plan on watching it, but probably not any time soon seeing as my want to watch list is full of a bunch of really interesting shows D:

In 1891, Cantor proved, using the now-famous diagonal argument, that the real numbers are uncountable, i.e. they cannot be put in one-to-one correspondance with the natural numbers. Furthermore, we know that the open interval (0,1) and the real line have the same cardinality (if we define f : (0,1) -> by
we have a bijection). Since [0,1]\(0,1)={0,1}, it is legitimate to think that the closed and open unit intervals have the same cardinality as well. But can we find a bijection from to [0,1]? In this post, I answer this question by constructing a function with the desired properties. (In the following, card(X) is the cardinality of the set X.)
1. Existential question
First of all, it will be helpful to know if such a bijection exists before trying to construct one. We state the following lemma without proof :
Lemma 1.1
Let X,Y be sets. If there is an injection f : X -> Y, then card(X) Y.
We then note that there exists a "canonical" injection f of [0,1] in , namely f(x)=x. Moreover, if we define g : -> [0,1] by , we can see that g is in fact injective. Using the previous lemma, the function f tells us that card([0,1]) card(), whereas the function g tells us that card() card([0,1]). To conclude that both sets have the same cardinality, we need the following theorem.
Theorem 1.2 (Bernstein-Schröder)
Let X,Y be sets. If there exist injections i : X -> Y and j : Y -> X, then there is a bijection f : X -> Y.
The previous theorem thus confirms that there exists a bijection from to [0,1].
2. Construction of the bijection
Recall the two injections we defined earlier:
We define the following sets and . Finally, we define another set, namely . Now, we define the following function :
We claim that this function is a bijection from the real line to the closed unit interval.
- Consider any b ∈ [0,1]. If b ∈ g(C), then there is an a ∈ C with b = g(a). Hence b = h(a) by the definition of h. If b is not in g(C), define a = f(b). By definition of C0, a cannot be in C0. Since g[Cn] is a subset of g[C], it follows that b is not in any g[Cn], hence a = f(b) is not in any Cn+1 = f(g(Cn) by the recursive definition of these sets. Therefore, a is not in C. Then b =f (a) = h(a) by the definition of h.
- Since g is injective on , which contains C, and f is injective on f(), which contains the complement of C, it suffices to show that the assumption g(c) = f(a) for c ∈ C and a ∈ \ C leads to a contradiction. Since c ∈ C, there exists an integer n ≥ 0 such that c ∈ Cn. Hence f(g(c)) is in Cn+1 and therefore in C, too. However, f(g(c)) = f(f(a)) = a is not in C — contradiction.
Since h is both surjective and injective, we conclude that it is a bijection; therefore, and [0,1] have the same cardinality.
3. Conclusion
This function is not really practical for computation, i.e. there is no efficient way to know if a given x is in C or not. But can we get a "nicer" formula? It is highly improbable. For example, if h were a continuous function (in the usual analytical sense), then it would mean that the real line is compact, which is absurd. Anyway, cheers.

Vaccine for the immunisation of sheep
against enterotoxaemia (Pulpy kidney disease).
Toxoid of Clostridium perfringens (welchii) type D.
Lambs may be immunised from 4-5 months of age or even sooner if they are weaned at an early age.
The best immunity is obtained when animals are first given an injection of the vaccine
followed by a second injection 4-6 weeks later. If lambs younger than
4 months of age are immunised a booster injection of the vaccine should be given
after 6-8 months. Thereafter an annual booster should be given.
NB: Lambs younger than 2 months and animals in poor condition, infected with internal parasites or
which are suffering from other diseases will not immunise well. Pregnant ewes may safely be
immunised with this vaccine
Directions For Use:
Sterilise syringes and needles by boiling in water for at least 15 minutes. Do not use disinfectants or
methylated spirits for sterilising either syringes or needles. If possible use a separate needle for each
Avoid exposure to high temperature and direct sunlight during inoculation. Administer the vaccine
subcutaneously in the groin or behind the shoulder. Shake the bottle well before use.
DOSAGE: 1 ml subcutaneously.
Vaccinate healthy animals only.
Do not slaughter animals for human consumption within 7 days of vaccination.
Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals.
Store vaccine in a refrigerator at 4

Man, 18, appears in court over Chester City Walls stabbing
- 13 November 2013
- From the section England
An 18-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of a man who was stabbed in the chest.
The 35-year-old man was attacked as he walked along the City Walls in Chester at about 21:30 GMT on 21 October.
Floyd Evans, of Stanley Street, Chester, appeared before magistrates in the city earlier.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Chester Crown Court on 25 November. Police said the stabbed man had been discharged from hospital.
A man who was previously charged with attempted murder has since been eliminated from the police investigation.

Are institutional rigidities at the root of European unemployment?
The Netherlands experienced employment growth higher than that in the US and achieved an unemployment rate of less than 3%, but Germany's unemployment rate remained at high levels. A widely held view regards a distorted incentive structure in welfare states as the 'root of the European unemployment problem', but welfare state institutions in the Netherlands are more generous than the German ones. Therefore, differences in the incentive structures between the two economies cannot explain the differences in employment success. The reasons for this seem instead to be rooted in coordinated monetary, wage and fiscal policies in the Netherlands while these are incompatible policies in Germany.

Objectives To determine the presentation of third or fourth branchial pouch anomalies in various age groups of children and evaluate endoscopic cauterization as a treatment technique.
Design Retrospective study of patients treated from 2000 to 2009.
Setting Tertiary care children's hospital.
Patients Pediatric patients aged 0 to 18 years (mean age, 5.5 years), including 5 neonates.
Interventions Endoscopic and/or open surgical management of third and fourth branchial pouch anomalies; clinical and endoscopic follow-up.
Main Outcome Measures Absence of clinical recurrence; closure of the sinus tract.
Results Two forms of presentation were identified: a neonatal form, characterized by a voluminous and compressive cervical mass (5 of 20 [25%]) and a childhood form, presenting as a cervical abscess (15 of 20 [75%]). The vast majority of our patients regardless of presentation were treated endoscopically (n = 19), with a success rate of 68% (13 of 19) after 1 procedure, 79% (15 of 19) after 2 procedures, and 89% (17 of 19) after 3 procedures. Neonatal and adult presentations require slightly different therapeutic approaches.
Conclusions Third and fourth branchial pouch anomalies can present in 2 distinct forms: a neonatal form and a childhood form. The endoscopic technique should be the favored approach for both forms: whenever possible, in view of its simplicity, rapidity, and the lack of serious postoperative complications. Recurrences can be treated by repeated cauterization using the same technique, with good long-term outcomes. An age-based management algorithm has been developed.
Branchial arch abnormalities represent approximately 20% of cervical masses in children.1 Such lesions developing from the third and fourth branchial pouches are less frequent (3% to 10%).1,2 The distinction between third and fourth branchial pouch abnormalities can only be established at the time of dissection because their clinical presentations are similar. From a practical point of view, the anatomic differences between these 2 lesions are of little significance because their clinical presentations and management strategies are often the same. From 90% to 100% of these sinus tracts are situated on the left side of the neck.3- 5In older children, they often present as abscesses (Figure 1), cervical masses, or rapidly relapsing thyroiditis, usually situated on the left. In the neonatal period, the presentation is usually as a cystic mass or an abscess, which may lead to dyspnea with stridor, dysphagia, and feeding difficulties.6- 8
The diagnostic workup of these lesions includes imaging. Ultrasonography can be used to identify the cervical collection, but to show the path of the tract either computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is required5,9 (Figure 2). The presence of an air bubble in the lesion is also characteristic of this malformation and is more often seen in the neonatal form.10The best diagnostic examination is endoscopy, which allows confirmation of the diagnosis by direct visualization of the orifice of the tract in the piriform fossa and the Betz fold (Figure 3).2,11,12 The classic management described in the literature is surgical resection using a cervical approach. However, in the last 15 years a less invasive treatment has evolved, namely, endoscopic cauterization limited to the sinus tract orifice.
We performed a retrospective study looking at the medical records of 20 patients treated in our department for a sinus tract of the fourth branchial pouch from January 2000 to May 2009. This study received the approval of the institutional review board of our hospital.
The 15 girls and 5 boys included in the study all had a unilateral form of the condition. Age at diagnosis varied from day of birth (5 neonatal cases) to 18 years; the mean age was 5.5 years, and the median age was 4 years. The lesion was left sided in 18 of the 20 cases (90%). The clinical and treatment characteristics are summarized in the Table.
The clinical presentation in 4 of the neonates was a cervical mass compressing the larynx without evidence of infection. All other patients (n = 16) had an infected or inflammatory lesion. The interval between the first clinical signs and/or symptoms and the diagnosis ranged from 2 days to 4 months (mean interval, 21 days). All the patients with an abscess underwent radiologic imaging—in total, 85% of the patients underwent a CT scan (17 of 20). Endoscopy established the diagnosis in all cases.
All patients with an infected lesion (n = 12 [60%]) were treated with a 10-day course of antibiotics (amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid), which was followed by either immediate cauterization of the sinus tract orifice (9 of 12 [75%]) or drainage (3 of 12 [25%]), which then allowed subsequent endoscopic cauterization of the sinus tract orifice. In 19 cases the treatment was endoscopic (95%), with a success rate of 68% (13 of 19) following 1 intervention; 79% (15 of 19) after 2 interventions; and 89% (17 of 19) after 3 procedures. No patient had more than 3 endoscopic cauterizations.
In 1 neonatal case (patient 4), the initial treatment was open surgery owing to a cervical mass causing clinically significant symptoms. Another neonate (patient 2) had an initial endoscopic intervention but later underwent a cervicotomy owing to an early recurrence of the cervical mass on postoperative day 3.
A nasogastric tube was left in situ in 3 cases for 2 to 8 days (mean, 4.3 days). The presence or absence of a nasogastric tube did not appear to affect postoperative complications or later recurrences.
A follow-up endoscopy was systematically performed in all cases treated by endoscopy, with an interval of 8 days to 5 months (mean interval, 5.7 weeks). The sinus tract relapsed in 7 cases (37%) within a mean interval of 6 weeks (time range to relapse, 3 days to 3 months). In 3 patients, the relapse was diagnosed following formation of an abscess that appeared 2 to 3 months after treatment, although the follow-up endoscopies in all 3 cases had shown only an area of scarred mucosa and the closure of the tract. Three patients were diagnosed with an "anatomical" relapse (persistence of the sinus tract orifice without clinical symptoms) at the follow-up endoscopy (at 1 and 2 months after surgery). Patient 2 had an early recurrence of the cervical mass, leading to open surgery.
At last follow-up none of the 7 patients who experienced a relapse showed any new symptoms. Findings of follow-up endoscopies were normal for all patients treated via a cervical approach (mean follow-up time, 4.1 months). After 2 further endoscopic interventions, the overall failure rate for endoscopic treatment was 11% (2 of 19). None of the 4 patients treated with a cervicotomy experienced relapse. Average follow-up was 23 months (range, 6 months to 5 years).
To our knowledge, the present series of patients treated for a sinus tract of the fourth branchial pouch is one of largest series in the literature (20 cases between 2000 and 2009). It is also the largest series to our knowledge in which most patients were treated with an endoscopic approach (19 of 20 cases [95%]). There was also a large number of neonatal cases (5 of 20 cases [25%]) in our series, compared with 0% to 20% in other studies.1,3,4,11- 13
Our population showed a marked female bias, with a ratio of 3 girls for each boy. The literature is not clear on the issue of incidence with respect to sex.1,4,12- 15
In 18 of 20 cases, the lesion was located on the left side (90%), and in 13 of 18 cases, the clinical presentation was principally as cervical inflammation or infection (72%). These results are similar to those reported in the literature. The mean age for the development of the first clinical signs was 5.2 years, and this varies between 4 and 7 years in the literature.1- 4,11- 16
The imaging technique of choice for fourth branchial pouch anomaly is usually CT because CT is cheaper than MRI, generally more readily and widely available, and only rarely requires a general anesthetic. However, CT exposes the patient to irradiation and thus cannot be repeated at will. The tract can be visualized by using contrast material,1,3,5,13,17 but while this test is highly specific, its sensitivity is only between 50% and 80%. This poor sensitivity can be attributed to periorificial edema, which leads to obstruction of the sinus during acute infection and so prevents passage of the contrast material.5,17
Our patients underwent a rapid diagnostic workup with a short mean interval from clinical presentation to diagnosis (21 days). This is substantially shorter than the intervals described in the literature, in which cases many patients had several infective episodes before the correct diagnosis was considered. For example, in the series reported by Rea et al,11 the interval between the first clinical signs and the diagnosis was 6 years on average, and a mean of 6 interventions were performed per patient before the final diagnosis was made. In the series described by Shrime et al,3 4 of 6 patients had recurrent abscesses before the diagnosis was made. Similarly, James et al1 reported that 14 of 17 patients had at least 2 surgical procedures and 6 of 17 had recurrent infections. Other series report several cases of recurrent cervical infections before the final diagnosis was established.2,4,10,12,15
Analysis of the results of the present study and those reported in the literature allows identification of 2 main clinical forms of this condition representing different clinical manifestations: a neonatal and a childhood form. The neonatal form manifests as a very large cervical mass that may or may not be infected and readily compresses surrounding structures. There is often a bubble of air visible within the mass on imaging. The mass may cause dyspnea with stridor and feeding difficulties.3,4,6- 8,18 In our experience, histologic examination of the resected specimen shows the presence of malpighian epithelium lining the tract along its path as well as the pouch, as described in the literature.6,7,18 This contrasts with the histologic findings of cases presenting later in childhood in which such epithelium lining is restricted to the tract itself.12- 14
Five of our patients were in this neonatal category. In one case, endoscopic management proved to be inadequate, and resection via a cervicotomy was necessary. In another case, early recurrence of the cervical mass after needle aspiration led to immediate open surgery without an initial endoscopic approach. The high rate of failure of endoscopic treatment in this scenario is noteworthy (40% [2 of 5]). We believe that surgical dissection of the cyst and the tract was easier in these 2 cases. The literature reports treatment of this form of the condition via cervicotomy, which allows a straightforward dissection of the cervical mass all the way to the bottom of the piriform fossa. The associated complications are minor: dislocation of the arytenoid during endoscopy and transient paralysis of the larynx.3 To our knowledge, there is no published report of the neonatal condition being treated endoscopically.
The second form of the disease presents in later childhood, is smaller than the neonatal form, and presents with a cervical abscess associated with local clinical features. In general, an air bubble is not present on imaging. In our series, the initial treatment of this form was endoscopic in all cases. In 1 case, the patient had previously undergone an initial cervicotomy at another center, which created difficulties due to the inflamed tissues. A cure was achieved following the subsequent endoscopic intervention. There were 2 treatment failures among our 15 cases (13%). In the reported series, surgical dissection was often difficult following repeated infections.1,2,19
We have increasingly delayed follow-up endoscopy in our patients. The aim of this intervention is principally to document the complete obliteration of the orifice deep in the piriform fossa. In the absence of clinical signs of recurrent infection or a cervical mass, we now wait to perform the follow-up endoscopy until 3 months after the procedure.
Since the first description of this entity in the 1970s,20 the treatment of choice has been surgical, with complete excision of the lesion via cervicotomy. In our series, no complications were seen in the 4 cases treated with surgical excision via cervicotomy. The most frequent complication described in the literature is a transitory or permanent paralysis of the larynx, reported in 0% to 33% of cases.1- 4,12 This occurs more often when the tract of the sinus to be dissected is encased in scar or inflammatory tissue.12,19,21 Recurrence is limited to cases in which complete excision of the tract cannot be performed, which occurs most often when the surgery is undertaken at the time of active inflammation and the tract is difficult to identify.3,13,22 The recurrence rate varies from 0% to 16% during a follow-up range from 2 months to 4 years.1,2,4,11,12,14,23
Toward the end of the 1990s, a new surgical endoscopic technique was developed involving cauterization of the sinus tract orifice at the base of the piriform fossa using local coagulation, thereby destroying the tract, avoiding a subsequent adjacent "cyst" and theoretically leading to its involution.24 While intuitively this approach might seem inadequate, it has been used to achieve real therapeutic successes without systematic relapses or abscess formation. In general, cases of short epithelial sinus tracts are associated with infection in the surrounding tissue without an actual abscess wall. However, endoscopic management of a malformation consisting of a sinus tract connecting with a cervical cystic cavity with its own epithelial wall should, logically, lead to failure (eg, cases of massive cervical masses in neonates).
A number of treatment techniques have been reported in the literature. Verret et al25 have described the introduction of a balloon catheter after dilation of the sinus tract orifice to allow endoscopic cauterization. Electrocoagulation was also used by Jordan et al15 with the aid of a diathermy probe. Alternatively, Sayadi et al26 used a low-power diode laser, while 2 other groups27,28 used chemical cauterization with trichloroacetic acid. Kim et al28 and Pereira and Smith29 performed chemical cauterization by introducing a stick of silver nitrate for 3 to 4 seconds into the sinus tract and at the sinus tract orifice. Finally, there is one report of the use of fibrin glue.30
In our series, electrocauterization was performed with a diathermy point in 2 cases and by laser in 17 cases (carbon dioxide laser in 13 cases and a thulium laser in 4—thulium laser technology has only recently become available). A uniform approach was always taken: laryngoscopy was performed under general anesthesia, and orotracheal intubation was used to allow assisted ventilation. The mucosal fold of Betz was exposed and cut (with laser or cold instruments), thereby providing a large field of view of the path of the sinus tract following exposure of its medial aspect. Next, the tract was thoroughly coagulated (by aiming beam for the carbon dioxide laser and fiber for the thulium laser), including deep within the piriform fossa (Figure 4). The usual laser setting was 3 W in superpulse mode. (Sayadi et al26 mention the presence of the fold of Betz but do not comment on sectioning it. However, the surgical sectioning of this structure is important because sectioning facilitates the field of view of the sinus tract and hence allows a more definitive cauterization.) No complications, other than recurrence, were reported either in our series or in cases reported in the literature.15,25- 30
Our preferred approach is laser because of its ease of use, accuracy, and low level of thermal diffusion. In our opinion, coagulation by diathermy is too imprecise and carries the risk of damaging the inferior laryngeal nerve by thermal diffusion. However, this has yet to be confirmed by further studies.
In the literature reports, the recurrence rate with this technique varies from 0% to 25%, and a maximum of 2 interventions have been required to achieve closure of the sinus tract orifice during a follow-up ranging from 1 month to 3 years.15,25- 30 In the series reported by Kim et al,28 2 patients required salvage treatment with a cervicotomy. To our knowledge, the cause of failure of endoscopic treatment has never been reported. Sayadi et al26 and Peireira and Smith29 are the only known groups to have performed a follow-up endoscopy to verify the closure of the sinus tract's orifice, and each of these reports describes only 2 patients. Consequently, it is possible that the real rate of recurrence may be higher than actually reported in the other series.15,25,27,28,30 Thus, while our results may appear to be inferior to those reported in the literature, all of our patients underwent follow-up endoscopy, which was not the case in most series reporting endoscopic treatment.15,25,27,28,30 We found (and treated) 3 cases of recurrence during our systematic follow-up endoscopy; in all 3 of these cases, the patients were asymptomatic. Moreover, with a mean follow-up of 23 months, it is improbable that further recurrences will be seen in our series.
We prefer to use the endoscopic treatment approach for this condition whenever possible because it is fast and simple, and it allows us to avoid the risks of open cervical surgery. Complications appear to be very rare, and recurrences can be treated by a second endoscopic cauterization with good long-term outcomes.
Analysis of our results and those reported in the literature has allowed us to identify substantial heterogeneity in the management of fourth branchial pouch sinus tracts. The differences between the 2 main forms of this clinical entity have led us to propose standardized approaches for each. In neonatal cases, the adjacent lesion usually consists of a cyst with its own well-defined wall. These lesions, which are naturally secreting, are seemingly not good candidates for endoscopic management, which is principally used in this situation to exclude and isolate an adjacent lesion associated with the piriform sinus tract. A recurrence of a collection with reopening of the tract seems highly probable. If there is early recurrence following incision of the cyst or noninvolution after antibiotic treatment, then a cervicotomy should be considered. The 3 successful neonatal cases of endoscopic treatment reported herein may have been due to the surrounding infection leading to sclerosis of the cyst wall. Nevertheless, these cases represent the first report to our knowledge of successful endoscopic cauterization in neonates.
On the other hand, in late-onset cases, the poorly defined limits of the lesion and the absence of a cyst wall support an endoscopic approach. In such cases, the cauterization of the superficial tract should not lead to a subsequent relapse unless there is uncontrolled active infection. Based on these observations, we created Figure 5, a therapeutic algorithm, taking into account the age of the patient and the clinical presentation. This study is unique in highlighting these 2 forms of fourth branchial pouch anomalies: (1) a neonatal form that presents with a voluminous cervical mass containing air and possibly requiring a cervicotomy; and (2) a late-onset form in children that presents with abscess formation and for which an endoscopic approach is indicated.

Encode Sans v1 Released
Quick post. No pictures, no descriptions... just click the link and see for yourself
Encode Sans v1 Released
Primary tabs
Impressive. I like it.
the hinting looks very good, how was it done?
Tanks Renko!
Wow Mike, that's quite a compliment coming from someone with your hinting knowledge!
I assume you are talking about the downloadable TTF files, right? (The specimen are OTF). It's was done with the latest release of TTF Autohint, version 1.0. The parameters used are included in the Font Info.
Great work on your Encode Sans typeface. Congratulations!
Is it just me, or could this stand in for Antique Olive in text sizes on screen?
Nice work, Pablo.
could this stand in for Antique Olive
That depends most of all on the eye of the beholder...
BTW, FWIW this is the "D" I'm seeing on my system:
Thanks all :)
hrant, Once it gets included in GF, you will get the hinted TTF files delivered to your PC browser. The ones in the testing specimen are not even Woff files, just the full desktop OTF files linked directly in the CSS.
Awesome! :)
Thanks hrant. I've replaced the specimens OTF's for the TTF's, it should look something like this now:
Win7 + IE10 screenshot
Mac screenshot
I'm on Windows-XP, so now I'm getting that typical y-direction aliasing (not your fault of course) but at least it's symmetrical. Thanks!

Trinity Baptist Church is known for its outreach to the community and dedication to making a difference in the lives of families. It partnered with Porche' Advanced Systems, LLC in Lake Charles, which designs, builds and installs commercial and residential AV and lighting systems, to deliver vibrant visuals to the Worship Theater.
"We were in touch with Vista from day one," reports Jason Ryder, Porche's System Designer. "One of the prime considerations was that the equipment had to be easy to use and maintain by the church's volunteer staff."
The Spyder met those needs and has operated "flawlessly," he notes. The system performs a five-projector blend for Bible storytelling, layering graphics, song lyrics, DVD and Blu-ray content as well as input from a PC and the pastor's laptop. The screen size is 60' wide to 10' high for a total pixel space of 5120 x 786.
Evan Dickson from Trinity Baptist Church commented on the addition of the system. "It brings our Children's Worship time to a whole new level. The children love seeing themselves on "THE BIG SCREEN". The visuals we are able to use not only entertain the children, but at the same time communicate the gospel of Christ in an amazing and exciting way."
About Vista Systems

Statehouse hopeful tied to supremacists steps down
DENVER - A Republican candidate for a state house seat is withdrawing from the race in light of reports about his arrest record and ties to white supremacists.
Nate Marshall told the Denver Post Thursday afternoon that he was bowing out of the contest. He had just won the Republican nomination to run for a seat in the Colorado House of Representatives representing Jefferson County.
But the Post reported that Marshall had once been arrested in a Craigslist scam and paid restitution to the victim. It also quoted a group that tracks white supremacist activity alleging that Marshall started an online organization called The Aryan Storm.
Marshall said he was not "hating on anybody" but agreed to drop out of the race.

As a brain gain initiative of the Philippine government, the Balik Scientist Program (BSP) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) seeks to encourage highly-trained overseas Filipino scientists and technologists, experts, and professionals to return to the Philippines and share their expertise for the acceleration of the scientific, agro-industrial and economic development of the country.
Established in 1975, the Program serves as a tool for the strengthening of the country's scientific and technological human resources. Thru the transfer of diverse new knowledge and expertise, Balik Scientists have been instrumental in providing solutions to national concerns, especially in areas where there are limited experts residing in the country. Local private and public institutions seeking technical assistance from foreign-based Filipino experts may apply for DOST assistance through the Program, either on a Short-Term or Long-Term basis.
To date, the BSP continues to be one of the DOST's strategic programs which addresses the priority areas consistent with the current S&T priorities as identified by DOST for the country's achievement of greater levels of competitiveness, economic value and prosperity.

Hi all I am loading png files with an alpha channel and they do not display properly in Quicktime. I have attached three images to show the difference – The Original Image, The image displayed in Quicktime and a difference image of the two. In the difference image you can see the alpha is jagged and there is a slight gradient to the right.
I don't have to use PNG files but they are so far the best of tiff,jpg and tga.
Any suggestions as to why this is happeing or an alternative codec would be great

Detroit Tigers' Ian Kinsler, right, celebrates hitting a walkoff-single with teammates Tyler Collins, left, and Nick Castellanos against the Kansas City Royals.
DETROIT — Ian Kinsler homered and drove in the winning run with a single in the 10th inning to lift the Detroit Tigers over the Kansas City Royals 2-1 on Wednesday.
Max Scherzer pitched eight scoreless innings for the Tigers, but Joe Nathan blew his first save chance since signing with Detroit in the offseason.
Acquired from Texas for Prince Fielder in a November blockbuster trade, Kinsler homered in the fourth and won the game with a line drive to left-center field off Tim Collins (0-1).
Detroit benefited from two replay overturns at first base. The second enabled Al Alburquerque (1-0) to get out of the top of the 10th.
The Tigers also beat Kansas City in their last at-bat in Monday's opener, winning 4-3 on Alex Gonzalez's RBI single in the ninth.
Scherzer allowed four hits and a walk with eight strikeouts, but Nathan blew a save at Comerica Park for the first time. He was 19 for 19 at the ballpark as a visiting player before signing with Detroit before this season.
Alex Gordon's bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the ninth tied it, and Nathan then balked the runners ahead when he pulled up in the middle of his motion. Manager Brad Ausmus and trainer Kevin Rand came scurrying out to the mound to see if something was wrong, but Nathan kept pitching.
In the 10th, Kansas City's Norichika Aoki was called safe at first, and it looked like the Royals would have first and third with two outs and the game tied. But upon further review, the throw barely beat Aoki. He was called out to end the threat.
There was another replay overturn in the sixth when Detroit's Tyler Collins was initially called out at first, giving Kansas City a 4-6-3 double play. The play was reviewed and Collins was ruled safe, although Detroit didn't score that inning.
In the Detroit 10th, Austin Jackson and Nick Castellanos both walked before Kinsler's two-out hit won it.
Scherzer can become a free agent after this season, and if he keeps pitching like this he'll be in line for quite a payday. With men on first and third and one out in the first, Billy Butler grounded into a double play on a 3-0 pitch.
That turned out to be the best chance Kansas City would have against Scherzer. He wasn't in trouble again until the eighth, when Salvador Perez doubled leading off.
Scherzer rebounded to strike out Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain. Ausmus then visited the mound, but he left Scherzer in. Alcides Escobar followed with a flyout on Scherzer's 110th and final pitch.
Jason Vargas, who signed a $32 million, four-year contract in the offseason, was sharp in his first start for Kansas City. He allowed a run and five hits in seven innings, walking one and striking out six.
Kinsler's homer in the fourth was Detroit's first hit.

Synthetic Peptide
Primary Accession | Q9TUB2 |
Other Accession | Q8SPZ3, Q95330, Q9WUR6, P61260, P13481 |
Calculated MW | 1774.1 Da |
Sequence | NH2-PPLSQETFSDLWKLL-COOH |
Gene ID | 397276 |
Other Names | Cellular tumor antigen p53, Tumor suppressor p53, TP53, P53 |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | TP53 |
Synonyms | P53 |
Function | Acts as a tumor suppressor in many tumor types; induces growth arrest or apoptosis depending on the physiological circumstances and cell type. Involved in cell cycle regulation as a trans-activator that acts to negatively regulate cell division by controlling a set of genes required for this process. One of the activated genes is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases. Apoptosis induction seems to be mediated either by stimulation of BAX and FAS antigen expression, or by repression of Bcl-2 expression. In cooperation with mitochondrial PPIF is involved in activating oxidative stress-induced necrosis; the function is largely independent of transcription. Prevents CDK7 kinase activity when associated to CAK complex in response to DNA damage, thus stopping cell cycle progression. Induces the transcription of long intergenic non-coding RNA p21 (lincRNA-p21) and lincRNA- Mkln1. LincRNA-p21 participates in TP53-dependent transcriptional repression leading to apoptosis and seem to have to effect on cell-cycle regulation. Regulates the circadian clock by repressing CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1-mediated transcriptional activation of PER2. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Endoplasmic reticulum. Mitochondrion matrix. Note=Interaction with BANP promotes nuclear localization. Translocates to mitochondria upon oxidative stress (By similarity). |

I used to think that my infatuation with leopard-print was going to be short-lived and a flight of fancy. But man has it ever stuck!! I seriously have a leopard-print EVERYTHING. I've just found it to be the perfect print to throw in with whatever else you're wearing. It goes with everything (in a clashes with everything kind of way, which is awesome). This top is vintage and I think is what started in all...so yeah. It is now to blame for my leopard print coat, shoes, bags, shorts & pants and everything everything.
These shorts by Covet (99$ at Dalhousie) are a new purchase, but I know they're gonna be a wardrobe staple for me. They are perfectly high-waisted (pretty much a must for me), and casual enough to wear everyday. I've worn them a few times with tights already but am DYING for this weather to get its act together so I can wear them silk to skin finally!!
Denim vest. Can't go wrong. I recently bought a similarly cut vest in leather (or erm, rather faux-leather), and sleeveless vests like this are my "put a bird on it". Just put a denim vest on it. Outfit magic!!
Peeking out from under my vest is another must-have for me. Vintage (or almost) t-shirts. When I don't feel like putting too much energy into an outfit, a great t-shirt, jeans & boots always wins. My collection is getting a little ridiculous, but I love them all so much. I'm holding up 2 of my recent faves - on the left is a Species by the thousands from a few years ago, and on the right is a recent addition from our trip to California.
I swear Katie and I did not plan this, but we both showed up with a great bra from Brachic as one of our 10 items. My favourite purchase from them over the years has been this perfect black lace bra. It is just the perfect foundation upon which to build a coyly-sexy outfit - peeking out ever so slightly from a V-neck dress, or from the sides in a tank with large arm holes, it is simply the bra I had been looking for my whole life.
This is also something I purchased in California, from the lovely Hannah's The Loved One shop. This is now my third vintage Dooney & Bourke bag, I guess that makes me officially a "collector" of them now??
You shouldn't be surprised that the Ursa Minor leather leggings made it on here. I am literally wearing them today as I type this. We have a few pairs at both shops (140$).
Lipstick! I honestly probably have at least 3 tubes on the go at all times - just so that I can definitely have one with me when I need a touch-up. In my coat, in my bag, at the desk at work. It's a little obsessive. But wearing lipstick is one of the things I have really embraced as I've grown older. In my early 20s I didn't really wear it cos I never felt I could pull it off. But now that I'm a grown-ass woman, it just works. I'm always looking for great new recommendations, so if you have one to share, please do!
This Christmas Katie & I decided to treat ourselves with something really, really special for all our hard work. So we each got ourselves an Arielle de Pinto necklace. When I'm wearing the aforementioned jeans/boots/t-shirt combo, nothing makes me feel actually dressed up more than this necklace.
What are some of your must-haves?
