gambit has finally been cast
Wolverine Gets His Gambit http://www.iesb.net/images/M_images/pdf_button.png http://www.iesb.net/images/M_images/printButton.png http://www.iesb.net/images/M_images/emailButton.png Written by Silas Lesnick Tuesday, 19 February 2008 Add another mutant cameo to next summer's Wolverine; The Cajun card-thrower Gambit!
We've been hearing whispers for the past few days that Wolverine won't only feature an appearance by fan-favorite Gambit; the role's already been cast. The IESB has been able to confirm with studio sources that Friday Night Lights star Taylor Kitsch will be playing Remy LeBeau. Now, it's long been said that producer Lauren Shuler Donner wanted LOST star Josh Holloway in the role but it looks like they've gone with a younger approach. Gambit first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #255 back in 1990 and has been particularly popular among fans due in no small part to his prominence in the 90's X-Men animated series. Hailing from New Orleans, Gambit has the ability to control kinetic energy, "charging" objects to the point of instability. He can turn just about anything into an explosive device and his weapon of choice is a deck of playing cards that he throws like bombs. Check out the side by side below of Taylor and Gambit: [IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/VALUED%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.jpg[/IMG]http://www.iesb.net/images/stories/p...bittaylor2.jpg |
Holloway would have been a better choice I reckon.
yeah i liked gambit since he was in the old X-Men vs Street Fighter game for the PS1 -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men_v...Men_characters http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...50px-Xvssf.jpg lookin forward to the film :thumbup: |
When the hell is the early nineties X Men cartoon coming to dvd? GEEZ
deadpool's been cast too.
Will.I.Am has been cast to play one of the mutants too, but I forgot which one.

I met this older cat that siad he invented gambit:
True story, When he was younger he siad he sent a home made comic with bio's of characters and shit to marvel. His gambit was a chinese dude that charged up playing cards with "Chi" energy and through them and he fought with a bo staff. A month later "Gambit" came out. |
Its about fuckin time. This is long overdue
i used to watch that shit... |
yea i have mad tapes of the old series...but no DVD
i think stephen dorff would have been a better choice. still good to see gambit coming out. he shouldve came out in x men 3
^^ Heard they didn't have Gambit in X-Men cos they didn't want to be seen to promote gambling!
the beater not fuck him up and make him a pussy like they did rogue "damn you hollywood shes not jubalie"

How close is today snapshot to release version on 1 november ? It is enough stable for network gateway, how do you think ? |
Today's snapshot is ahead of the release in the development process. It has features and fixes that are not in the version that will be released ~1 Nov., but release is the more conservative way to go; snapshots sometimes don't quite work for everybody, although this is rare.
If I were installing a gateway for money for someone who intended to use it to make money, I would install a release unless I *had* to have a feature that had not made the release cycle yet. |
You asked this question, or a very similar question, in March. 5.0-release will become available and supported on or about 1 November. Development of 5.0-release completed in early August. Development of -current is now 2.5 months beyond 5.0-release.
FAQ 5.1 describes the development and release cycle. Please read it; you will find that section of the FAQ insightful. |
Because production of the official CD set has to be planned & managed making sure that the sets are available on the release date, the OpenBSD project will tag in CVS the file versions used to build OpenBSD 5.0-release months in advance.
CVS tagging for OpenBSD 5.0-release took place mid-August: http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=6237 Recent snapshots will have 2.5 months of check-ins past what constitutes 5.0-release. Quote:
More information on what is expected of -current users can be found in Section 5.1 of the FAQ. Last edited by ocicat; 20th October 2011 at 05:45 PM. |

EPISODE 423. Broadcast on January 27, 2013.
girlfriday: New trip! The boys walk up together, and get told that this trip will be a Winter Break History Special. Dark clouds all around.
javabeans: Jong-min quips that Tae-hyun is bad at history, and for a split second you think he's gonna get his head bitten off for offending his hyung, only to have Tae-hyun add that he's beyond bad, that history all but doesn't exist for him. Said the guy in the currently airing sageuk.
girlfriday: Maybe he only knows comic book history.
javabeans: He should be glad all his sageuk jobs have been fantasy.
girlfriday: But could you imagine Cha Tae-hyun in a straight non-fusiony non-comical one?
javabeans: I'm cringing already at the thought. Awkward, awkward, awkward. Either that or he would somehow turn it into a comedy, just with his delivery.
girlfriday: Yep, that's what I'm picturing. The director going, Wait, when did this turn into a comedy? Uh, the minute you cast that guy. Anyway, it turns out the boys are walking into a palace for the opening. They start out by congratulating Tae-woong on his wedding (He must've just returned from his honeymoon at this point.) and he's all smiles.
javabeans: He has this air of innocence that's so adorable as he says that his wife made him breakfast this morning, and he was all, So that's how the marrieds live, how sad for the rest of you. And Tae-hyun is all, dude, don't talk, I had to make my own breakfast today!
girlfriday: And then Jong-min asks about their First Night, all wink-wink and er…. pelvic thrusts?
javabeans: Omg. I'm so secondhand-embarrassed for him. Is that his idea of subtle innuendo? I love Tae-woong's reply, which is the very dry, "Sorry to burst your bubble, but we've already got a kid."
girlfriday: Ha. Su-geun welcomes Tae-woong officially onto the Marrieds Team, and the rest of them all sigh that he's not really all that helpful, at least for the winning.
javabeans: Jong-min and Tae-hyun mention the bit that ended the last trip, when Tae-hyun betrayed Jong-min to take his train ticket home and earned himself a bunch of anti-fans and angry netizen reactions. So today, he promises to stick right by Jong-min's side so that he can react specifically to him the whole time. Haha. That's… actually a pretty good way to make it up to him, if we're talking in a meta sense about concentrating all your variety energy on one person and giving them extra airtime.
girlfriday: Yeah it's like Variety Dollars. Laughs are the golden ticket. He also adds that he'll take one of Jong-min's punishments in his place, but the offer expires today. So Jong-min basically has to lose something big today for it to be worth it.
javabeans: You can tell how much Jong-min likes this idea, and he promises to try to forgive him. Of course, then Bird wryly points out that he thinks they'd both lose today (making that offer not much of an offer).
girlfriday: Bird says that today they're going to tour Baekje historical treasures, and promises to keep the learning at their level. Shi-kyung gets all offended, and the boys tell him to look to his left and right — at Jong-min and Joo-won, who look terrified. Hee. It's gonna be a rough day for the Bachelors.
javabeans: Lol. When Bird tells them where they are right now, Jong-min nods all knowledgeably and pretends to read the hanja on the gate, only to be told that's not what it says. We haven't even begun the game yet and he's digging himself a hole!
girlfriday: Heh, I love that Tae-hyun's really laughing at Jong-min's terrible jokes and bad gags even when no one else is. They take a walk inside the palace, and then suddenly Su-geun asks Tae-woong if he could take a time machine back or forward to any time, where would he go? Seung-woo pipes up from behind: "Before his wedding." Hee, it's only been two weeks!
javabeans: The other marrieds all joke that they'd say the same (may as well all die together?), but Tae-hyun says he'd choose his first year of high school: "That's when I met her. I'd go to a different school." Pwahaha. And also, do you WANT a beating?
girlfriday: Lol.
javabeans: But also, totally sweet that he married his high school sweetheart.
girlfriday: I know, it's adorable. He's often said in interviews though that other people think it's so cute that he got to marry his first love, but he thinks he was kinda dumb not to date anyone else ever. Ha.
javabeans: Isn't it one of those things where if you had more experiences, the first is all romantic? But then if you only had the one, you're like, uh, is this all there is? You can't know from the other side, which is why the grass is always greener I guess.
girlfriday: I suppose you could be that one particularly lucky bastard who left your first love to date a bunch of other people, and then your first love takes you back in the end? Eh, grass is grass, that's what I say.
javabeans: Jong-min says a few random boring things about history (like how it's important) just to make Tae-hyun have to react to them, which basically proves the point that Tae-hyun can make anything sound interesting. Even if it's literally, "You're quite right, history IS important!"
girlfriday: They finally reach the end of their walk and Bird explains their lunch bokbulbok game: a war between Silla and Baekje, kind of like capture the flag except each side has to protect its king from… getting his beard taken? I don't know what that means, but they bring out cards for everyone to random-draw their teams. It'll be 3:3 with one player who can swing either way, based on either team finding the hidden trigger to bring him onto their side. Tae-hyun grumbles at the random draw, saying that if Su-geun, Shi-kyung, and Joo-won end up on the same team, they might as well not even play.
javabeans: So, the result of the card draw: On Team Baekje are Shi-kyung, Su-geun, and Joo-won. LOL. Tae-woong is the free radical and Team Silla is Seung-woo, Jong-min, and Tae-hyun. Seung-woo complains at Tae-hyun for saying something that became true, ha.
girlfriday: Hahaha. He did totally jinx it.
javabeans: I love that this game requires ALL the members (playing generals and kings) to attach fake beards.
girlfriday: Oh so THAT's what they meant. Literal beards. Ha. And ow.
javabeans: LOL. Way to be literal. Now I'm picturing Neanderthals running around claiming supremacy by pulling each others' facial hair. The guys are all equipped with chest-cams, to make sure we get our clear shot of the beard-grabs.
girlfriday: They start by staying in their respective corners, busy searching for the radishes to claim Tae-woong for their team.
javabeans: It cracks me up how literal that is. The word "kkagdugi" means radish kimchi cut into cubes, but it's also the word to denote the random third/fifth wheel, the unmatched person. So to claim Tae-woong the kkagdugi, they have to find the kkagdugi.
girlfriday: It's hilarious. Also that the decoy boxes are filled with OTHER kinds of radishes. Ha. Shi-kyung finds the real kkagdugi first, and he and Joo-won each take a bite before claiming Tae-woong. Man, could this team get any stronger? I feel like they should get some kind of handicap or something.
javabeans: Except this game was totally randomly set up so it's just their lucky day, huh? Sadly (?) I think Tae-hyun's punishment pinch-hit is just gonna go to waste. Team Silla just isn't competitive enough, whereas Team Baekje is totally competitive in everything. Figures they'd get arranged this way.
girlfriday: But then, Team Silla gets a lucky break. Seung-woo and Jong-min discover the Baekje king stuck in a well, all by himself without his generals.
javabeans: Attack, attack! Jong-min climbs on top of Su-geun in the well, and Su-geun huddles to himself shouting for rescue. Jong-min reaches around to grab the beard… and is suddenly yelping in pain. Ha, did he get bitten?
girlfriday: Ow. And also, how is he sitting on top of Su-geun and yet somehow still losing?
javabeans: Ha, they all but have Su-geun handed over on a silver platter, yet they decide they'll have to wait for Su-geun's reinforcements to come, and THEN grab his beard. What? Why can't you just overpower him now? He is a tiny, tiny man. I know he's nimble like a monkey but you can take him.
girlfriday: I think they're planning to use him as bait, but that doesn't seem like the best idea, against Joo-won and Shi-kyung.
javabeans: Watching Jong-min continue to try to grab Su-geun in his tiny prison and failing repeatedly actually reminds me a lot of myself on Cat Vet Day. Silla king Tae-hyun hides himself in a small room, while Joo-won dashes by and sees the shenaniganery going on in the well. He joins in and reaches in to try to grab Jong-min's beard, so Seung-woo is left to try to come and save Jong-min, and then Tae-woong attacks Seung-woo from behind… It's the craziest game of cat-mouse-cat-mouse-cat. Or is it cat-mouse-mouse-mouse-mouse?
girlfriday: I dunno, but there's a whole lot of grabby beard-pulling and painful screams. Joo-won actually yanks Jong-min by the hair, and when that doesn't work, they get Su-geun to climb out of the well by stepping on top of Jong-min. Ha. And then once they get their king out, Tae-woong covers up the well with Jong-min still inside. He thinks they've left him like that, but it turns out Joo-won is hanging back, waiting for him to peek out… and he nabs Jong-min's beard from behind.
javabeans: Tae-woong spots a glimpse of the Silla king's robes peeking around the corner and giddily catches up to Tae-hyun….'s VJ, wearing his outfit. HA. He's actually around the corner wearing his regular clothing, leaving his VJ out as the bait. Too bad for him that Shi-kyung is right there to chase him down.
girlfriday: He manages to pull his towel for a timeout, and the teams gather for another bokbulbok where the kings have to take turns cracking eggs on their foreheads. Only two out of the ten eggs are raw, so the odds are pretty good that you won't get egged. But of course Tae-hyun gets a raw one on the first try. They can't believe his (bad) luck, and offer him the chance to revive both his generals if he can manage to find the other raw one. He picks one… and it's raw! Dude, he really does have the most predictable bad luck.
javabeans: I wonder if that means he was trying to pick the raw one, or the cooked one that time. Because it's only bad luck if it screws you over! Still, at least this gets the Silla team another chance at the game, and the chase resumes. Jong-min separates from his team to draw the others in, and he starts taunting Shi-kyung like a little kid at recess, sticking out his tongue and challenging him to a one-on-one fight. Nearby, his teammates lie in wait as Shi-kyung gets separated from his pack. But Shi-kyung's smart enough to suspect the ambush and calls in his team, so now everyone's there, all "Uh… now how do we do this?"
girlfriday: Suddenly Tae-hyun jumps out from his hiding spot and grabs Tae-woong from behind. Ha, I love that his line of defense is to suck on his own beard, while grabbing at Tae-woong's. He's out, and then all hell breaks loose.
javabeans: All of a sudden there are beards flying everywhere, ha. Joo-won gets out, and so does Jong-min, leaving two on each team still alive. It's hilarious: You have Shi-kyung, Tae-hyun, Seung-woo, and Su-geun basically in a circle, running around trying to get each other. It's like a dinky video game.
girlfriday: It's even more hilarious that Tae-hyun's costume makes him look like a boxer, and he's jumping around and swishing back and forth all by himself, like a loon.
javabeans: Finally Tae-hyun gets his beard pulled, which means it's time to eat. Aw, that lunch table is so sad. One is laden with steaming bowls of soup and kimchi dishes, and the other… has one plate with three balls of rice.
girlfriday: That is truly the saddest lunch ever.
javabeans: You know, it would have been bad enough if they gave them three bowls of rice. But to see them shaped as these plain lumps makes it even more pathetic. Maybe it is just that sad that Bird offers them the prop kimchi as a side dish.
girlfriday: Prop kimchi is better than nuthin'. After lunch the boys board the bus and Bird PD hands them history books to study on the way. Hm, this does not bode well.
javabeans: Heh, we get captions describing the types of students here. Shi-kyung is the focused and studious model student. Su-geun is the one who looks over at what you're doing instead of studying his own stuff. Jong-min is the one who has no idea how to study even with the materials in front of him. And Tae-woong is the one who falls asleep as soon as he's got the book in hand.
girlfriday: Heh, it's fun to imagine what these guys were like in high school. They reach their first stop and after looking around, Bird offers them a chance to grab anything they want from the snack box for each quiz question they get right. What the… Tae-hyun gets both of them right? What happened to Mr. I'm So Weak at History?
javabeans: They're all surprised, but Tae-hyun whines that Bird was too insulting with his exclamation of "What gives?" Ha.
girlfriday: They go to a museum next, and look around on their own. Tae-hyun sees a funny looking urinal and giggles to himself as he tells Jong-min it's for drinking.
javabeans: Lol, I love that it comes up on the quiz too. After more time to study the exhibits, Bird administers another round of questions… and Tae-hyun wins again! Three in a row! Whaaaa?
girlfriday: Is it opposite day? At their last stop, Bird PD offers up the entire snack box for one final winner… of a story contest? He gives them a list of words they have to include, like a few artifacts and sights from today, "Bird PD," "bokbulbok," and in English: "Put your hands up." Er?
javabeans: I guess it IS a lot of prize to give for an easy question. There's quite a lot of good stuff in there, lots of chocolates and sausage sticks and such. They all take their papers and settle down to write, furrowed eyebrows and game faces on. Why do I feel like Jong-min's is just going to be a string of keywords linked by prepositions?
girlfriday: Surrounded by "Wow~" and exclamation points? Yeah. Shi-kyung, on the other hand, gets all into it, deciding his is going to be a masterpiece. This is going to be embarrassing for everyone, isn't it?
javabeans: We can only hope. And you know how competitive he gets with food on the line. On the other hand, Tae-hyun's starts out, "The soju I drank yesterday…" Hahaha. So then they gather to read theirs aloud, to be judged by each other, with high and low scores thrown out. Joo-won goes first, and… omg. He's actually challenging Bird. It's in letter format, all forceful and declarative: What's with all these Specials? Are we some quiz program? It's actually a really good incorporation of all the terms.
girlfriday: Not bad. It incorporates all the words pretty naturally, and has the added bonus of getting on Bird's bad side.
javabeans: They all lowball the scoring and he averages 4s, with a total score of 23, but maybe the others will be equally low. LOL. Jong-min's starts out, "WOW~!" Did you call it or what?
girlfriday: Hahahaha. His turns into this nonsensical dialogue, for some unknown reason.
javabeans: Jong-min's written assignments always make me giggle, and yet also make me feel vaguely worried for him. Like we're getting a raw glimpse inside his head, and it's concerning. It's this stream-of-consciousness narrative, written in present tense: "I come to the shoot. Wow! It's Joo-won! Wow! Put your hands up! Joo-won gets into the car! I try to follow! He's too fast!" It's hilarious and really sad.
girlfriday: But omg, I think Shi-kyung actually has it worse, in that he's taken the assignment TOO seriously, and the hyungs all die laughing even though he's trying to be poetic and sincere.
javabeans: My skin is crawling. It's actually good and literary sounding, but it's ALL WRONG. I can't listen. Make it stop.
girlfriday: Why is it that there's nothing more embarrassing than someone being too sincere on a variety show?
javabeans: Tae-hyun's is really funny, in exactly the right way. It's a cute, witty story about a day in the life of 1N2D. It's good because you can't quite pick out all the keywords: "The soju I drank yesterday and the radish kimchi / Today without fail churn in my insides / If only I hadn't lost at bokbulbok / I could have eaten that meat / Upon hearing the words 'Put your hands up' / Why did I listen? / Is my head truly made of stone? / No, it's a stone pagoda head / I drank with Bird PD and Princess Sunhwa / But where have they gone? / They have left me all alone / Those traitors / If I catch them I will burn incense / on that burner / Ah, today again I am screwed"
girlfriday: Dude, Su-geun's is hilarious. He purposely uses the expectation that he'd write something silly, and turns it around to write a sincere-sounding love letter to Princess Sunhwa. Only, his delivery is still Su-geun, so it's a crack-up. He gives this theatrical reading of the love letter, ending in a hip-hop refrain, "Everybody put your hands up! When I say Sun-hwa! You say Princess!" Hahaha.
javabeans: Tae-woong starts off with another corny pun about Buddha putting his hands up in the air (like he just don't care?). So cheesy. But he works in some sweet praise about his beautiful wife, which wins him a few points.
girlfriday: The pun is definitely that story's crowning achievement.
javabeans: The scoring is totally wonky since it's kinda random and given on a whim, but under these scores Tae-woong wins rights to the snack box. Though they're all sharing, right? So was that a pointless exercise? (Other than the humiliation, I mean, which I guess makes it not quite pointless.)
girlfriday: Humiliation is never pointless.
javabeans: That's it for the day, as they head over to their basecamp for the night. They'll be staying at the generations-old house of a famous family (whose lineage includes Queen Inhyun and Empress Myungsung)… where they'll play ridiculous games for silly prizes, of course. Way to keep everything in perspective.

I am not talking about GEP code. In GEP it might work because it probably comes comes with xsd schemas already included. I am talking about standard XML validation in any XML editor or Eclipse without GEP. I will describe problem in more detail. If you validate against http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1, XML downloads XSD from schema location xsi:schemaLocation="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1 http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1"> ponto:(admin)~>fetch http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1 web-2.0.1 100% of 6143 B 214 kBps ponto:(admin)~> so we have got file.

To make XML validation work locally you just need to point schema location to your geronimo install directory. something like this: xsi:schemaLocation="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1 file:///usr/local/wasce/schema/geronimo-web-2.0.1.xsd" and everything works. But for making validation to work over HTTP you need to upload these XSD files with xsd extension to http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/ as well to http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/ You need to have them several times on web server, once for xs:import with XSD extension and second without extension for xsi:schemalocation.

Although the platform as a service (PaaS) market is smaller than both IaaS and SaaS segments of the cloud computing industry, research firm Forrester says this technology could be one of the most important cloud-based services for businesses moving forward.
[ 10 Most Powerful PaaS Companies ]
[ Nine 'Everything-as-a-Service' (XaaS) Companies to Watch ]
While IaaS provides infrastructure for companies to get on-demand virtual machines, storage, databases and other services and SaaS vendors offer a cloud-based version of an application, PaaS vendors provide an application development platform for building and hosting customized applications that are tuned specifically for their business's needs. "Public cloud platforms are the keys that unlock the flexibility, productivity, and economic advantages of cloud computing," says the research firm's most recent Wave report on the public cloud platform market.
[MORE CLOUD: Can Red Hat do for OpenStack what it did for Linux?]
Familiar faces from the cloud industry are quickly establishing themselves as the heavyweights in this market, Forrester found. Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and Salesforce.com offer the broadest range of services for the PaaS market, plus they combine a strong network of partnering companies and enough market share for them to be stable over the long-term, Forrester says. But instead of offering a pure-play PaaS, these vendors are blurring the lines between their strongholds in the IaaS and SaaS markets and increasingly incorporating PaaS functionality into their services, Forrester cloud experts James Staten and John Rymer found after reviewing 60 vendors and writing in-depth profiles of 14.
IaaS vendors such as Amazon Web Services are rolling out features that make it easier for developers to not only build applications in its cloud, but scale them and host them. Core services like its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) on-demand virtual machines and Simple Storage Service (S3) are augmented by more developer-focused services like Elastic BeanStalk and Amazon Simple Workflow Service, and a broad variety of software development kits (SDKs). AWS does not have a pure PaaS offering, instead, it has "focused on providing a collection of services that can be combined with custom code to accelerate application creation," Forrester reports.
On the other end of the PaaS spectrum would be a company like Salesforce.com, which has a strong holding in the SaaS market, and has begun expanding its services into the PaaS market. The company's Force.com platform provides a way for workers with little coding experience to create applications and workflows that integrate with its core SaaS offering, which focuses on customer relationship management (CRM). In addition to Force.com, it also has Heroku, which is tailored more toward developers who want to customize their code. Ironically, Heroku runs on AWS's infrastructure.
The blurring of the lines between these services may make it tricky for customers to choose which platform is best for them, but Forrester says the key criteria that should be considered are the types of developers within your company and the robustness of the partner network of the vendor. A
There are three types of PaaS users, Forrester says: A DevOps pro, is someone who is a familiar coder, who also wants control of the infrastructure the applications run on; a coder cares only about the application development process and does not want to deal with configuring the infrastructure; and finally a rapid developer may not have coding experience, and is looking for an easy extension from an IaaS or SaaS platform.
Different vendors in the PaaS market serve these different segments, Forrester found. AWS is a market leader for DevOps pros and coders because the infrastructure setup is so tightly coupled with the application development. Salesforce.com, on the other hand, is good for rapid developers who may not have coding experience.
Other vendors in the market include CloudBees, Cordys, Mendix and MioSoft which Forrester says are strong platforms for rapid developers while IBM, Google, Engine Yard and Rackspace are well-suited for DevOps pros. Forrester focused its study on public PaaS offerings, so it excluded private PaaS vendors.
A second major consideration is the robustness of the partner networks for the PaaS offering, Forrester says. Third-party vendors offer development tools, databases and support that integrate with a PaaS offering and can be a customer's best friend. "A large ecosystem dramatically improves the customer's ability to deliver applications, find support for key components, supplement staff with consultants, and empower management of its cloud applications," Forrester says. In naming AWS, Microsoft and Salesforce.com as leaders in the public PaaS market, Forrester noted their strong partner networks.
PaaS could be an important market for businesses moving forward though. Forrester estimates that this year 30% of enterprises will use some form of public cloud computing offering. "Public cloud platforms empower (application development and delivery) pros with frameworks, tools, and consoles that speed creation, deployment, and ongoing updates," Forrester says. "Select the right platform and AD&D pros will be highly productive."

In the aerospace industry temperatures range from intensely hot to conditions as cold as the arctic. We provide a range of flexible graphite solutions that accommodate both extremes. Our fluid sealing engineers understand the high demands of propulsion systems for rockets, missiles and aircraft and have developed a series of seals, gaskets and graphite-based bearings to meet very specific performance requirements.
The demand on engine and exhaust system's has increased dramatically. Reducing vehicle emissions, leakage and weight and improving fuel efficiency with higher operating temperatures has raised a real challenge for OEM engineers… how to seal the ever-expanding number of connection points between the power plant, exhaust and air handling systems. EGC has the answer.
Process knowledge has evolved in the Power Generation Industry and recently, the changes have happened at an accelerated rate. New plants have to cycle more frequently often starting-up and shutting-down numerous times in a single day. The wear and tear on valves, pumps, boilers and piping equipment has increased while maintenance outages must be completed faster with fewer resources.
Processors and equipment manufacturers in the Petro-Chemical and Refining are held to stringent fugitive emissions regulations. Valves, pumps and piping systems, which transport process media, must maintain "low-leak" performance and fines for nonconformance can be excessive. EGC's technical staff understands these demands.
When raw material selection is of critical importance, EGC delivers Thermafoil® flexible graphite. Each material is carefully selected to ensure conformance to density, bulk and content uniformity. EGC materials are available in Thermafoil sheet and rolls, laminated sheet and rolls, ribbon-pack (universal packing), adhesive backed tapes (gasket or thread sealant), Thermacord (a braided yarn) and ThermaMat (filler, additive and reinforcement).
Q-Foil® thin-film, flexible heaters have become critical in applications where light-weight, low-profile components provide rapid response, superior thermal transfer and uniform temperature across an entire heater surface. From industrial to electronics to medical, Q-Foil out-performs conventional metallic elements by as much as 35% and can save you up to 50% on electrical energy consumption.
EGC Enterprises has pioneered the use of flexible graphite in fluid sealing and thermal management applications for high heat, high pressure and high stakes applications. We have over 30 years of experience serving some of the world's most recognized companies in aerospace, transportation, power generation and commercial applications. And that experience makes us a very quick study when it comes to finding fast solutions to virtually any need. Call us at 800-342-0211 or e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com with your questions. We'll provide quick, authoritative answers.
Educational Webinars from the Fluid Sealing Association.
Thermafoil 2236-CLE delivers the best results in controlling emissions averaging 2ppmv with NO gland adjustment (acceptable EPA level is 100 ppmv).

Sloppy win for USC
Posted By Jonathon Kamph On Sep 12 2010 @ 2:19 am In USC | No Comments
Tonights game could only be summed up by one word. 'Sloppy". Coming into tonights game, USC had 11 penalties from last weeks win over Hawaii. Tonight that number went up with 13 penalties that went for 140 yards the majority coming from the Trojan's defense.
On a brighter note, Barkley looked more poised and his mobility looked pretty sharp in the first half. Barkley threw two first half touchdowns to Cameron and Carswell, and would end the night with 202 yards. A bitter sweet end for coach Kiffin's first home win as head coach of the Trojans as USC takes it to UVA 17-14.
Look for the Trojans to head into Minnesota next week as we expect a ground breaking game for the USC faithful.

I Did Botox 2 Days Ago the Same Wrinkles Are There, When Will I See Results?
I Did Botox 2 Days Ago the Same Wrinkles Are There, When Will I See Results?
Doctor Answers 19
There could be three reasons you still see the same wrinkles present two days after your first Botox injection. First, Botox does take several days to achieve maximal muscle-weakening effect, as the other answers state. But more importantly, many patients have unrealistic expectations about what Botox can do right away, or at all. It's very important to understand that Botox only weakens muscles under the skin. It does not have any immediate direct smoothing effect on the top of the skin. This means that if your lines are very deep, from many years of making the same expressions, at first the Botox or Dysport may only stop you from making the expression, and folding the skin there, as deeply. You can imagine that it would take a long time, weeks to months, to maybe even years, for deep creases to smooth on their own after the muscles don't fold the skin anymore. This is why it's important to make a bit of a commitment to trying these treatments repeatedy (every three months or so) for at least a few cycles, so you can eventually see the cumulative effect of the long term relaxation. Bear in mind that the popular online myth about anything ending up worse off if you start and then one day stop is just that, a total myth.
Finally, a third reason your wrinkles are still there, is that sometimes doctors try to use Botox to do more than it can really do. If you have a lot of excess skin and deep folds, not just lines, it may be that you do need surgery to lift or tighten the area, and that Botox weakening the muscles under there just can't do enough to make a difference. This is why it's so important to go to a legitimate, honest, trained physician who can properly identify this situation, so you don't waste months and money when Botox or Dysport can't really do the full trick, and they can guide you in a more useful direction.

Botox usually takes about four days to start working. It has usually taken good effect by day 10-14. Please be patient. If you do not see results after this, then call your injector.

It usually takes about 3 days to start to notice the effects of Botox and up to 12 days to see the full effect, so please be patient. If the winkles are still there at rest, you may also require filler.
Thank you for the question.
It is too early to see the effects of the Botox treatment. The majority of the effect of Botox will take 3 to 7 days to see. It may last for 3 to 5 months.
Keep in mind, that "wrinkles" that are present at rest will not be affected after the treatment with Botox.
Best wishes.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/procedure_botoxinjection.htm
It usually takes 3-4 days to see the effects of the injection of Botox or the other products that relax the muscles. However the full effect may not be seen for 7-10 days.
Botox treatment usually takes about 5-7 days to take full effect. Be patient since youa reonly two days out.
All the neurotoxins ( Botox, Dysport and Xeomin) take 3-5 days for full effects to become visible. Effects are also dose dependent and related to the knowledge and experience of the injector.
Web reference: http://www.thepalmercodeinstitute.com
Give your Botox protein some time to inhibit your muscle from contracting. The soonest you will see results is 3-5 days with maximum results being 10-14 days after injection. If you still don't see the results you are looking for after 14 days contact your physician to get a touch up.
I know that many people think Botox works instantly; however, it can take up to 10-14 days for full effects to take place. The muscles can take time to relax fully and absorb the neurotoxin. Having additional Botox put in before at least 10 days have passed can result in problems because muscles will continue to absorb the Botox during this time, and it can result in overinjection. Wait at least 10 days and then see your injector if you're still not satisfied with the wrinkles relaxing. Don't get anything else done until then.

Former Australia pacer Brett Lee, who recently captained the Prime Minister's XI against England has expressed his views on being Australian on Australia Day.
Lee has many cherished cricketing memories from his childhood in Australia which include white cockatoos in gum trees, the noise of cicadas and zinc cream pasted on his nose during backyard cricket matches with his brothers, reported the Sydney Morning Herald.
Though Lee feels that immigration is slowly but surely changing the demographics of the country, still he maintained that the people who absorbed the Australian values were the ones who prospered in the country.
"I love it when you meet people who come from overseas but they proudly describe themselves as Aussies … as someone born here it makes me proud to think people want to identify as Australians," said Lee.
"Whether you were born in Australia or came here when you were six months, 16 years old or whatever, it doesn't matter … if you choose to live in this beautiful country, choose to call yourself an Australian and use what makes you a unique person to contribute to the nation, you're welcome.
"We've had Aunty Joy speak on behalf of her people a few times and I've found that to be very special and important. Australia Day can be seen as a time where we think of the first settlers from Britain and the contribution of the immigrants who followed, but I respect the Aboriginal culture.
"I've been in the deep north when we gave kids Weet-Bix for the first time, but it was insightful to see how they follow their culture and it must be encouraged," added Lee who maintains that the Aborgine community of Australia should be respected.
Lee also concludes that he win aim to up the ante by attempting to bowl at speeds higher than 150 km/h, to help his team, the Sydney Sixers, win the Big Bash League title.

WASHINGTON - Two of the loudest voices in the gun debate say it's up to voters now to make their position known to Congress.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre claim their opposing views on guns have the support of the overwhelming number of Americans. They are looking at the next two weeks as critical to the debate, when lawmakers head home to hear from constituents ahead of next month's anticipated Senate vote on gun control.
Bloomberg, a former Republican-turned-independent, has just sunk $12 million for Mayors Against Illegal Guns to run television ads and phone banks in 13 states urging voters to tell their senators to pass legislation requiring universal background checks for gun buyers.
"We demanded a plan and then we demanded a vote. We've got the plan. We're going to get the vote. And now it's incumbent on us to make our voices heard," Bloomberg said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday that legislation would likely be debated in his chamber next month that will include expanded federal background checks, tougher laws and stiffer sentences for gun trafficking and increased school safety grants. A ban on assault-style weapons was dropped from the bill, fearing it would sink the broader bill. But Reid has said that he would allow the ban to be voted on separately as an amendment. President Obama called for a vote on the assault weapons ban in his radio and Internet address Saturday.
Recalling the horrific shooting three months ago at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school that left 20 first-graders and six school administrators dead, Bloomberg said it would be a great tragedy if Congress, through inaction, lost the moment to make the country safer from gun violence. Bloomberg said that 90 percent of Americans and 80 percent of NRA members support universal background checks for gun purchases.
"I don't think there's ever been an issue where the public has spoken so clearly, where Congress hasn't eventually understood and done the right thing," Bloomberg said.
But the NRA's LaPierre countered that universal background checks are "a dishonest premise." For example, mental health records are exempt from databases and criminals won't submit to the checks. Background checks, he said, are a "speed bump" in the system.
LaPierre slammed Bloomberg for the ad buy. "He's going to find out this is a country of the people, by the people and for the people. And he can't spend enough of his $27 billion to try to impose his will on the American public," LaPierre said. "He can't buy America."

RAINN Day by Project SAFE
RAINN Day is an annual day of action to raise awareness and educate students about sexual violence on college campuses. (RAINN stands for Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network)
Project S.A.F.E along with community partners will be hosting RAINN Day on Thursday, September 26, 2013.
This year's theme is "Healing through Art."
We will be hosting a Resource Fair/Community Art Project from 11:30am-1:30pm in JSC Quad and screening the documentary "It Was Rape" in Johnson 200 at 5:00pm.
Here is more information about our Resource Fair/Community Art Project:
1BlueString (I in 6) and Raw Records will be sponsoring a guitar string changing station. Bring your guitar to the Quad, replace 1 of your 6 strings (the Low E string) with one of our blue strings, and help raise awareness for the 1 in 6 men in the U.S. who were sexually abused in childhood. A photo both will also be available if you would like to take a picture with and official 1BlueString guitar.

Pre-Health Students Assn. Meeting
We will have an informal social event where everyone can meet each other and we can discuss our plans for the semester. Bring your lunch and we'll have ice cream sandwiches and popsicles for dessert.
Friday, September 27, 2013
"It Was Rape" Documentary Screening sponsored by Project SAFE
The story of eight diverse women and their experience with sexual assault.
Rape is wrong, illegal, reprehensible—and yet still tragically common. In this film, eight women tell their diverse personal stories of sexual assault, from a Midwestern teenager trying alcohol for the first time to a Native American woman gradually coming to terms with her abusive childhood. Gripping and emotional, this film is an opportunity to empathize with people—not just absorb faceless statistics—and to puncture the silence and denial that allow sexual assault to thrive. Ultimately, these stories shed light on how this epidemic affects us all.

Hiding assets and finding assets are reverse sides of the same coin. Everybody seems to use the same techniques. No. 1, you look to set up a family trust in Nevis or the Cook Islands. It's better there because of secrecy laws and laws that emasculate creditors' rights. So let's say I owe you $10 million and I don't want to give it to you. I give it to a Nevetian trustee for my benefit and say I want to invest it in a cattle ranch in Montana and in stocks and bonds. The trust subscribes to share capital in a long chain of companies in 5 or 10 jurisdictions offshore, like Jersey and Guernsey. Secrecy makes the relationship between the assets and the U.S. more remote.
Beyond Nevis, the British Virgin Islands are popular. In addition to some confidentiality, they're cheap. Bermuda is more expensive, but it's the king of offshore insurance. Cayman is for offshore banking. Another option is to use layers of companies to mask the owners of the assets. One of my cases involves ownership of office buildings in Canada. They were owned by a series of numbered companies. You don't need a name there, just a number, like 8769542, Alberta Inc. The equity was held by a series of offshore companies that was further held by a Netherlands Antilles company. Behind that was a trustee in Guernsey, and behind that was a man who stole $250 million using a mass-marketing fraud. He sent mail solicitations to elderly American citizens. There were more than 300,000 victims. The money got transferred to bank accounts in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Jersey, Barbados, and Canada. There were like nine tiers in nine different countries, through so many bank accounts and companies that it could take years to investigate if you don't know what you're doing. And to keep your assets hidden, you have to be careful who you alienate. One man took his girlfriend to Switzerland and stayed in a fabulous hotel and had lunch across the street from where we found $40 million in cash deposits. She was pissed off and told us. We were pulling rubbish from his trash, in Sarasota, Fla. He had a mansion on the beach there. For 18 months we pulled his trash, every week at 6 a.m. We found an envelope with a return address and name of an insurance company at a P.O. box in Philadelphia. It turned out he had insurance on 72 works of art—Monets, Manets, Degas, Rembrandts—under names of corporations he owned. When we served subpoenas on the insurance company, they had to disclose who bought the art.

Baby gas and constipation problems.03/17/2006 |
My baby is a week old, and has been having problems with gas and with not having bowel movements.I can hold him and feel the gas bubbling in his sides. What can I do to relieve this? I have tried gas drops and they seem to only work part of the time.
Also is him not having bowel movements a sign of a problem. He is breastfed.
Breastfed babies generally have a few more bowel movements during the first few weeks of life when they are exclusively breastfed. Is your baby nursing frequently and completely emptying your breast, having 6 or more wet diapers per day and gaining weight? If you answer yes to all of these it is generally not something to worry about. If you answer no to one of these questions you need to seek out your baby's healthcare provider.The gas that you baby is experiencing is frequently due to your diet. Anything that you eat that causes you gas should be eliminated from your diet (some things include cabbage, beans, broccoli). It may take two weeks for it to be completely out of your system.

Asthma and Reactive Airway Disease12/04/2007 |
What is the difference between asthma and "reactive airway disease"?
This can be a confusing area as some times people may mistakenly use the term "reactive airways disease" when they really mean asthma. Asthma is a chronic disease with an unknown cause. Reactive airways disease is also called reactive airways dysfunction syndrome and refers to symptoms that are similar to asthma that occur after a specific exposure, usually at work. Symptoms may be very similar in both cases and in both cases tests of lung function reveal "hyperresponsiveness" or airways that are "twitchy" or reactive to various triggers. Some people with reactive airways dysfunction syndrome may go on to develop chronic asthma. It is important to discuss any diagnosis given by your doctor to be certain to avoid misunderstanding which can affect your medical care.

Editor's Note: Jeff Gural (Chairman, New Meadowlands Racetrack, LLC) and Brian Sears (a leading driver in North America) earlier today spoke by phone and decided to issue a joint statement regarding the issues that were brought to light last week.
Brian Sears said: "I'm pleased that Jeff and I had a chance to get together and talk about the issues that came to a head last week. I've known Jeff for a long time and so I'm comfortable speaking my mind with him. I may have said some things in our conversation that didn't come across very well. I respect the many good things that Jeff has done for harness racing and I'm glad that we can put our differences behind us and get back to a great summer of racing."
Jeff Gural said: "Brian is a friend of mine and I am glad we had a chance to clear the air this morning. Brian is a very talented driver and one of the best I have ever seen. Brian made some comments to me that particularly did not line up with my vision for harness racing but we have spoken about them and are moving forward. I completely understand why Brian makes the decision to race at Yonkers and he completely understands why I wish he would still race at the Meadowlands. At the end of the day, Brian must make the decision that is best for him as I make the decisions that are best for my three tracks. I told Brian he is welcome to race at any of my tracks (Meadowlands, Tioga Downs, Vernon Downs) and hope that he will race at them often. We are both happy to put this behind us and move forward."

Ian Watkins pleaded guilty to attempted baby rape.Credit: GettyBritish rock star Ian Watkins of the band Lostprophets has been sentenced to 35 years after admitting to several child sex offenses, including attempted baby rape, reports the BBC. Watkins pleaded guilty to 13 child sex offenses, including two counts of attempted baby rape in November.
He chatted with a fan from prison a few days later. He told the woman he wasn't a pedophile and said, "I'm going to put out a statement on the 18th just to say it was mega lolz. I do not know what everybody is getting so freaked out about," reports the Guardian.
Watkins, 36, of Pontypridd, Wales, explained to the woman that he decided to plead guilty after contemplating two options: "It was like either I go up there and say: 'Come on it was not that bad. Nobody got hurt,'" or "try to win them over with my charm" and end up saying: "I was off my head and do not remember anything."
Watkins was sentenced along with two mothers of his victims. Woman A was sentenced to 14 years and Woman B was sentenced to 17 years in prison, reports the BBC. Watkins was sentenced to 29 years in prison and six more years on license. He will be eligible for parole after two-thirds of his prison term.
Watkins admitted to conspiring to rape a child, three counts of sexual assault on children, seven counts of taking, making or possessing pornographic images of children and one count of possessing an image of extreme bestiality.

I spent one day down at the US Lacrosse Convention in Philadelphia this weekend and my head is still spinning. I would have stayed for more but the LAS box team was in the midst of Championship weekend, and you know what they say, the team always comes first. But in that one day I did spend down at the Convention I got to see a lot, and I got to meet a lot of great people connected to the game in a multitude of ways. It was a long, strange trip nonetheless.
I stopped by a ton of different booths and saw a bunch of familiar faces. I had a delicious pulled pork sandwich at the market across the street. I got interviewed by a local TV station on Philly being depressed. It didn't make sense to me with all that fine food. I met John Jiloty of IL for the first time. Kyle Harrison borrowed my pen to give a kid an autograph. I saw one of my college coaches. I learned that Herm Edwards isn't that friendly on an airplane. And I met a lot of people who read LAS.
Overall it was just a great manifestation of the concept that the lacrosse community truly is as close and interconnected as it sometimes feels. I'll break down my day at the convention through different topics below. Scan for something you think looks interesting. There's a lot down there…
Talking to the Pros:
I spent some time with Kyle Sweeney and we got to talk about his new team in the NLL, the Buffalo Bandits, so that made their game this weekend that much more fun to watch. The Maverik set up was massive. Spider 1 and Flight 17 heads everywhere. Rome gloves everywhere. Maverik reps everywhere. They even had a trailer inside the hall. And Gags was there making sure it all went down smooth. It was a really serious presence. On a side note, I think Billy Bitter ate a cheesesteak in under 4 minutes. Not sure where it was from. G or P's. WHO CARES? If you haven't had a Chopped Cheese from Harlem or Bed-Stuy you have no idea what you're talking about.
Kyle Harrison was in good spirits as always, and he was pumped to come back to Brooklyn to work with Eagle Academy again in the future. It was one of the first things he said to me. Love to see where his priorities are. STX seems to have a lot of things in the works, but didn't have a really huge presence at the convention. A quieter approach makes me think something is coming. Call it a laxer's hunch. They were pumping the alliance though, and yes, I have one, and yes it's a really good shaft. I think we'll see a lot of those out on the field this year. I used one for much of the box season and it held up really well.
I also got to spend some time with Connor Martin, who I thoroughly enjoy. I got to help him out at a clinic in Harlem a month or two ago and he was just great with the kids. He was so open and honest, and he spoke with a surprising amount of perspective for someone who creates some of the silliest stuff I've ever seen. TWO SIDES! When I was talking to Martin, Cort (d'oh! twins! sorry.) Blake Kim of Easton stopped by and said hello to the longhaired leaping gnomes that are The Connors, and I thought to myself, "that is a match made in heaven." Wilson and Martin? No. Connor Martin and Easton? Yes. Con Bro loves getting in front of the kids, he's young and ambitious, and is a stand up guy willing to get his hands dirty. Easton needs a young road warrior with passion. I'm a lacrosse match maker.
Visiting the Booths:
If you're looking for gear photos head to the end of the post.
Maverik, STX, Dick's Sporting Goods, Sports Authority, Champion and a couple others had larger set ups at the Convention. Easton had a goal they used to put on a demonstration later in the weekend, Mike Powell was spotted, and their helmets were featured in a couple other displays but they weren't out in force. But they were there in force, so you know business was going down. Good to see that young lacrosse entity seemingly flourishing. It will be interesting to see where they go in the future.
But to be honest, the big booths are NOT where it's at, with one exception… and that is Cascade. I don't know what it is, but I was continually drawn back to their display. Just so many helmets, and to see all the chrome colored face masks in one place was pretty cool. The Cascade crew was there en masse, and it was awesome to catch up with a bunch of the guys from the Liverpool, NY based company. I also got to speak with Bill Brine, inventor of the Edge and about a million other lacrosse innovations. I don't know how I could ever turn our conversation into a post, but let me just say this… it was one of the highlights of the day. Hands down. I'll work on it. Turns out we're actually from the same hometown. Small world.
So other than Cascade, the smaller displays are usually where it's at. I visited the Art of Lax of course, and he had stacks of prints and t-shirts and more. He was fully stocked, and the work was looking better than ever. Vinnie loves the convention because it's lacrosse time, and Vinnie loves lacrosse. It's clear in his work and demeanor. There were LAS stickers at his booth, so maybe you were lucky enough to get one.
I also love seeing Rob Littel of Tribe7 Lacrosse. He has a totally different approach to the game, and stick technology, and the new head they have out has to be the lightest head I've ever seen. By far. If you're looking for something different, and haven't liked what you've tried before, give Tribe7 a shot. Rob is passionate about lacrosse, the sticks he produces and the seemingly weird stringing method they employ. It's not for me, but I've thrown with one before, and it works exactly as advertised.
Products To Look Out For:
There were two products that I saw at the Convention that really stood out to me. One is cheap, tangible and for coaches. The other is online and probably best suited for parents. I'd tell you about a third product, Krossover, but you already know all about that, right? We're believers!
The ZipBoard is a dry erase board that slides out of the side of a canister, like a roll of film. Except when this comes out, it's stiff, so you can draw on it. Lax field is already on there. Need a marker? This thing has a marker which pops right out of the end. When that marker dies, do you need a special replacement marker? Nope. It's an Expo dry erase marker slot. Those are everywhere. Plus it has a little hook to put it on your belt. Coaching tool AND a police officer halloween costume accessory? I'm in. Seriously, I'll use the ZipBoard this Spring. I genuinely liked it.
The other product is called GroupAppz and the reason I like this online service so much is that it allows parents and fans to organize pages of information for games, tourneys, seasons, teams, practices, etc. The guys behind it know lacrosse very well, and they know how to create a high functioning product. Kids are stuck on Facebook, but parents oftentimes want something that caters to their needs a bit more, and we all know the lacrosse community is filled with do-it-yourself parents. Seems to have all the ingredients for success.
The Gear… BEST OF!!!!!
There is a ton of gear at the Convention but most of it has been seen before. Not all of it, but most of it. Still, some just manages to grab your attention and whatever grabbed mine made it onto my iPhone. And whatever made it there is making here – from my eyes to yours. Here comes the rain… I have no filter.
The newest Tribe7 head is definitely the lightest thing on the face of the planet. It actually floats like Nikes used to back in the 80s. Ok, that's not true, but it's super light. The string job looks like poo, but it throws like butter. The heads are also surprisingly stiff. Monster mesh all the time in these wands.
Ok, enough of the storm trooper gloves. Still… it has me really wanting a custom pair for myself. People think the Storm Trooper thing is a bad thing… but it's not. Unless you hate Star Wars. But if that's the case, well then, I just don't know if we can be friends. I'd wear a storm trooper mitten any day. I do want to see less white though. If Colby's glove had been all grey? Jail break! But they're the White Mules after all, so we'll let it go.
This is what I read on the train ride home. It's short story dreams from imaginary characters in Paris in 1884. It was written in the early 1900s. I read a dream, put the book down, contemplated, and then continued. The ride was over before I knew it. Something different and I liked it!

Christmas Shopping in New York
They call it the city that never sleeps. As Christmas approaches, New York is also the city that never seems to stop shopping either.
And why not? When the Christmas lights twinkle, the smell of roasting chestnuts wafts and the ice skates whizz across the ice, no-where's better to buy, buy, buy.
Step off your low-cost flight, and you'll soon find out that value for money is pretty impressive too. A recent survey identified savings of up to 62% on popular items compared to London.
Beyond getting a great bang for your buck, New York is a shopping destination where the sheer variety is awe-inspiring. Midtown is all iconic department stores. Downtown is all funky and fun. And out of town is for serious discount outlets.
A good way to get into the shopping swing is to take a walking tour of all the spectacular Christmas shop window displays, legendary in their imagination and spectacle. An hour-and-a-half will take in all the iconic New York shopping names such as Saks 5th Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys, Bloomingdales and Macys.
Away from the glamorous names, the recent rise of outdoor holiday markets has added a whole new dimension to New York Christmas shopping. These do the job if you're looking for something really one-off and unique. You'll find markets in parks and other public spaces. Look for one-of-a-kind, hand-made things such as jewellery, hand-knits, toys, ornaments and art. Even chocolates!
For example, Bryant Park has 120 stalls, plus tasty street food and free ice-skating at The Pond too. Look for other markets at Union Square, Columbus Circle, Grand Central Terminal and the Cathedral of St John the Divine.
The Discount Outlets are mostly out of town. Jump on a bus for an hour and you'll be shopping at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, for example. This is packed with 220 outlet stores delivering great savings from big names beginning with Adidas, and including others such as Fendi, Prada, Balenciaga, Chanel, Gucci, Ralph Lauren…..all the way to Zegna.
The kids with you, not to mention the big kid in you, won't want to miss a visit to FAO Schwartz. Just like Victoria Beckham and her brood did recently, you'll be in toy heaven. For 150 years, no-one has equalled its assortment of toys, gifts and collectibles. Oh, and don't miss out on something sweet from the in-house candy store: FAO Schweetz.
Kids will also be captivated by Santaland on the eighth floor of Macy's Department Store. Bedecked in twinkling lights, sparkling stars and outsized lollipops, it's magical.
You'll be led along the Macyland Express, past the Enchanted Forest (with talking trees!) to the Rock Candy Mining Site, then over Rainbow Bridge to interactive patisserie, The Sweetery.
Finally, the path leads to Santa's home in New York – a beautifully-decorated country cabin – each child receives a gift specially chosen by Santa Claus himself.
On a slightly more adult theme, you don't go to New York without following in the footsteps of Audrey Hepburn and browsing the exquisite jewellery and finding a special gift (or two) at Tiffany's.
Whatever your choice of Christmas gift, remember you're only allowed a meagre £145 duty free limit. Serious Christmas shoppers also think smart and arrive in NY with two big, empty suitcases plus portable scale, so they don't exceed the 46kg total limit. With so much choice in New York, that's going to be really, really difficult.

WASHINGTON – Behind a stifling defensive performance CUA downed Merchant Marine Academy 66-49 inside the DuFour Center. The Cardinals held the Mariners to 18 first half points and 29 percent shooting overall as CUA clinches its first-ever Landmark Conference Tournament bid. The Cardinals are now 16-8 overall and 8-5 in the Landmark Conference. The Mariners fall to 6-17 and 0-13 following the setback.
The Cardinals jumped out to a 15-5 lead in the opening nine minutes and led 20-10 after Katarina Owunna's basket with six minutes remaining before halftime.
CUA then scored seven of the next eight to open up a 28-11 advantage with two minutes to go in the half. The Rangers actually outscored the Cardinals 7-4 in the final 1:42, but CUA still took a 32-18 lead into the locker room.
Seven quick points by CUA right out of the gate in the second pushed the Cardinals lead to 39-18, which was their largest up to that point.
With the score 41-20 CUA ripped off a 7-0 run and the Cardinals began to pour it on from there, taking a 48-20 lead with 15:08 on the clock.
Jenny McGann's free throw with 8:19 to play gave the Cardinals their first 30-point lead of the afternoon and Jill Woerner's three on CUA's next possession made the score 61-28.
The Cardinals led by as many as 34 points during the second half and won handily to sweep the season series from the Mariners.
Woerner finished with 16 points for CUA and was one of three Cardinals in double figures, joining Jenny McGann (14) and Holly Janicki (13). Owunna pulled down a team-high 12 rebounds and senior Kerri Confrey dished out six assists. The New York native now sits just seven helpers shy of setting the all-time single season record at CUA.
For the second straight game CUA did a nice job of holding onto the ball with the Cardinals committing only 13 turnovers. CUA also forced the Mariners into 34 turnovers and scored 32 points off those miscues.
Tamara Kaileh led the Mariners with 17 points, including an 8 of 9 showing at the charity stripe, while Rebecca Grimes netted 10, including the 1,000th point of her career. Janay Weathers finished one point shy of a double-double, scoring nine points and pulling down 13 rebounds.
On Saturday, February 19 CUA will close out its regular season when Goucher comes to the DuFour Center. Tip-off is slated for 5:30 p.m.

Four years ago today, six-year-old Seth Martinez went from being a normal, rambunctious little boy to a permanently disabled, legally blind child with a brain injury. He's unable to communicate, unable to swallow and completely dependent on others for his care. On March 29, 2013, Seth became a victim of child abuse. "I thought my grandson was going to die," Denise Depappa said. "But, he's got God on his side. That little boy is a fighter."


text: The Miracle of Serendipity Captured in a Single ImageMario Aguilar9/28/12 5:20pmFiled to: Image cachedouble exposure33EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink You've seen photos of a groom kissing a bride a million times. It's always beautiful, but this double exposed image taken by two different photographers captures the weight of that moment better than any other. Finding love is random—and refreshing like splashing into a pool. Advertisement People Vs. Places is a project of photographers Stephanie Bassos and Timothy Burkhart. Bassos loads up a camera with 35mm film and shoots people in different situations. Burkhart then reloads the roll and shoots a bunch of different settings. The results aren't always perfect but every now and then, the two picture frames line up into an elegant composition. Two people who find themselves in the right place at the right time doesn't happen every time. Luckily, it only needs to happen once for it all to be worthwhile. [People Vs. Places via CoDesign]Reply33 repliesLeave a reply
