K9 Post Office Kiosk
Design Museum London
2009 (not in production)
As part of the exhibition 'Super Contemporary' Industrial Facility made extensive research into the feasibility of a Post Office Kiosk that shares the same dimensions as a Telephone Box, to alleviate some of the pressures that current Post Offices are struggling with. The result was a kiosk that provides a range of services including buying stamps; TV Licenses and Tax Discs. The project was not about replacing post offices but about supporting a network which is under great pressure.
The design is primarily made of wood and glass. The roof is a rotatable solar powered panel, with the interior involving a flat LCD screen with a sheet of glass in front of it. On the screen a 'real' member of staff is present and can see the customer (and vice versa), using what is called Telepresence technology - real time, centralized video conferencing. We have merged this with the technology of video mapping, so that a letter held up to the screen can be registered in terms of size and confirmation of address.

w152 Busby Exhibition 2121
Swedish lighting company Wästberg commissioned us to design a travelling exhibition for the launch of the w152 Busby lamp. Retail shop Twentytwentyone marked the start with an exhibition held during London Design Festival 2015. Large crates made from pine wood provided life-size vignettes where the Busby lamp could be found, with a joyful colour palette that set the tone for the imagined settings. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue, art directed by Ana Varela and with photography by Jara Varela.
The crates were then packed and shipped to locations in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo.

Beauty as unfinished business
Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Étienne, France
Invited by general curators Benjamin Loyauté and Elsa Francès, Industrial Facility curates and designs the exhibition entitled 'Beauty as unfinished business' at the ninth Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Étienne in France.
A carefully selected group of recently produced objects by international designers and manufacturers are gathered and arranged in a special exhibition design. 'The people and the environment in combination with objects and their use, creates an atmospheric energy in space and time. This relationship between a product and its context is perhaps as close as we could describe the creation of beauty.'
Describing the exhibition, Hecht and Colin write 'It is difficult to singularly locate just where beauty resides in a product: is it in its making, its use, its form or its cultural relevance? Or is it that beauty is found in the equilibrium of all of these things?' The exhibition pavilion is a series of rooms that create an imagined architectural context for the objects. The objects are arranged and lit to form a dialogue. Each room gives space generously to the objects so that little else is seen in the viewer's periphery. Around the entire pavilion is a field of ropes that give an intimacy to each room, yet also allow visitors to enter and exit anywhere.
'Beauty in products is essentially to do with the age-old unity of material and function. However, there is a spatial dimension that is also very necessary and rarely ever addressed: The product must be experienced within a context that arouses something in us. This 'something' happens when we look beyond the thing itself, beyond its own space, to something much bigger than ourselves.'

Issey Miyake Kiosk
Issey Miyake Parfums, France
2009 -
The kiosk project for Issey Miyake Parfums sets perfumery inside a more solid, receptive and also mutable environment. The display is an exercise in balance, where permanence is offset by lightness and movement. The design used the historical context of market stalls to provide a simplistic approach to the function of selling, rather than the ephemeral and aesthetic that are often the staring point for this type of project. Each functional element of stock, wrapping, transaction and display are visible and inform the whole design. The result is that the interaction between beauty consultant and customer is now on the same level - rather than from behind a counter. The design was first launched at Galleries Lafayette in 2009, and from its success has now been rolled out globally.

The kiosk project for Issey Miyake Parfums was accompanied by a design program for the method of displaying products. The feeling generated was of a curated collection of items. Box displays, perfume stands, test placements, and trays were combined to create a fresh and informal presentation. The designs were first launched at Galleries Lafayette in 2009, and from its success have now been rolled out globally.

In the automotive world, price is increasingly a function of degrees. How's that? Dial in a faster windscreen angle, aggressively rake the rear glass and – voilà! – you've just padded your margins to the tune of a few thousand bucks. Take a plain-jane sedan, hire some stylists to turn it into a "four-door coupe" with a racy greenhouse, and you can use the same mechanicals and still charge a mint. The same goes for crossovers – just steepen the backlight and you're in the ducats. Not convinced? See the Mercedes-Benz CLS and BMW X6 for field notes.
But shelve your bodystyle prejudices and bear with us for a moment. If you're like us, you've looked longingly at a lot of what the Four-Ringed Wunder has been kicking out on its home continent – models like the RS6 Avant, TT-RS and S3. And unless you've got some seriously deep pockets, an inside man on the gray market and a relative who owes you a favor at the local DMV, you haven't got a prayer of landing any such tasty treats here in the U.S. So while the folks at Motoren-Technik-Mayer (MTM) can't source you an assembly-line-fresh S3 for your middle-American driveway, they can build you a road-legal doppelganger, and as it turns out, that ain't half bad.
We've talked up the Audi A3's virtues and vices before, so we'll spare you the gab about how much we enjoy its well-resolved interior, grippy Quattro all-wheel drive, planted handling and surprising utility. We've also not been shy in mentioning how its price tag can get disastrously dear with just a brief once-over of Audi's options list – and that's before handing it over to a tuner like MTM. But enough with the apologies – ride along with us past the jump to see if this hot hatch is full of excuses... or full of win.
Photos by Chris Paukert / Copyright ©2009 Weblogs, Inc.
So, what's going on here – is this merely a North American-spec A3 swaddled in European couture? Not exactly. On the outside, MTM starts with an A3 2.0T S-Line, then fits genuine S3 aero addenda (bumpers, side skirts), along with brushed aluminum mirror covers, fog lamps, badges and – most importantly – the S3's 13.6-inch front rotors and monobloc calipers. Those new clampers are shrouded in a set of massive Pirelli PZero-clad MTM Bimoto alloys and the whole works has been dropped to within an inch of its life.
When we picked up this tester at MTM's offices in suburban Detroit, we were simultaneously excited about how great the Sportback's stance looked and nervous for the well-being of both its 19x8.5-inch wheels and our backsides. Seriously – it appeared we'd be shaving tread on the fender liners just negotiating the parking lot apron. Interestingly – and perhaps tellingly – the fair dinkum S3 runs around on 18s.
Of course, this isn't simply an appearance package. MTM has reflashed the 2.0-liter turbo's ECU and fitted a larger 70-mm stainless steel exhaust system, alterations that are ultimately good for 272 horsepower and 274 pound-feet of torque (+72 and +67, respectively). For those keeping score, those figures actually better this car's European inspiration by 11 additional horses and 16 torques.
Not enough petrochemical carbonation for you? If you've got the cash, MTM will burrow under the hood again until you've got as many as 380 ponies – but as fun as that sounds, we wouldn't bother with the extra parts (bigger turbo, downpipe, blowoff valve, etc.) or tweaking because the engine is plenty spirited as-is. MTM's codepushers haven't just liberated some extra fizz from the 2.0T, they've minimized a bit of the lagginess we've observed previously. As before, the six-speed S-Tronic dual-clutch gearbox wallpapers over any such shortcomings with lighting fast gearchanges when you man the paddleshifters.
The free-revving quattro-port (eh?) and the revoiced exhaust note combine to create the same sort of electric zizz soundtrack that we experienced earlier this year in the Audi TTS, albeit without that car's lag. We think it's an infectious and distinctive noise that's a breed apart from the typical can-of-bees four-cylinder import exhaust, but this still isn't the sort of tone that's likely to appeal to fans of big displacement bombast.
How about those stiffer lowering springs and watchstrap tires? We're happy to report that we never once pondered phoning our chiropractor – or a tow truck. Yes, the MTM's ride is markedly firmer than a garden-variety A3, but it's not so brittle as to wreak Jenga with one's vertebrae. The stiffer springs pay dividends in reduced role and quicker direction changes, and those stickier tires and bigger discs deliver feel-good halt in short order. That said, we'd still opt for a minus-one wheel/tire fitment to shave off a few bucks.
We've been a bit cavalier about money to this point, and yes, there are less expensive ways to get similar all-wheel drive performance (Subaru WRX STI, Mitsubishi Evolution X, not to mention Audi's own S4), but even MTM's officials admit that this example spec'd out at more than what they were hoping for. Our suggestion? Save a bit on the oversized rolling stock and ask if you can get a small discount for deleting the 'Sportback' rocker panel appliqués. With the money saved, you might even spring for the S3's flat-bottom wheel (it makes the rockin' world go round).
Just remember: When your friends chide you for spending over fifty grand on a lowly hatchback, you can comfort yourself with the knowledge that genuine S3s run German customers upwards of $50k anyhow. Besides, MTM is planning on selling only 15 of these Stateside. And at least in our world, talent, versatility and exclusivity go a long way toward trumping fashionable silliness like faster windshields and compromised headroom – and not just by a few degrees.

12 anchovies in salt
1 c. red wine vinegar
12 small red round hot cherry peppers
Small bunch parsley

Tottenham Hotspur were too quick, too good and too potent for an anaemic Inter Milan side here last night, all but booking their place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
Twenty-eight months after "taxi for Maicon", Spurs supporters expanded the target of their taunt with a brief chorus of "taxi for Inter".
The San Siro second leg should not trouble Spurs unduly, although they will have to do without the talismanic Gareth Bale, who was cautioned for simulation, his fourth of the season, and was lectured late on by the Spanish referee for again throwing himself to the ground.
Bale has so many strengths, the goals, athleticism, speed and balance but he needs to eradicate this unedifying flaw in his game that referees at home and abroad know all about.
Bale began the scoring and tormented Inter with his direct running all evening. It was sad to see such an illustrious club as Inter so devoid of belief and class.
There were reminders of their distinguished past with Luis Figo watching on but they had no one anywhere near his substance on the field. Even the wonderful Javier Zanetti, at 39, is revealing signs of rust.
Spurs fans applauded ironically when Brad Friedel actually had a save to make, late on. Serie A's fourth-placed team were second best from back to front.
Even accounting for the disappointing nature of the opposition there was so much to enjoy in Spurs' display. Mousa Dembélé and Scott Parker ran central midfield, frequently augmenting attacks.
The interchanging of Spurs' front four constantly vexed Inter. Bale was playing off Jermain Defoe, occasionally drifting wide to have a look at Zanetti who was in the right-back position that caused Maicon such grief in 2010. Gylfi Sigurdsson broke off from running at Zanetti and roamed inside.
The four were very good at keeping the shape demanded by Andre Villas-Boas. Defoe was sharp to move left twice when Sigurdsson pushed inside. Even Aaron Lennon popped up away from his right-sided home.
It was particularly satisfying for Villas-Boas who spent part of the period before kick-off greeting old friends from Inter. It has been a good few days for Villas-Boas, winning the North London Derby, defeating Inter in this first leg and reminding everyone of his calibre as a manager.
His team are well-organised, well-motivated and challenging strongly for a place in the Champions League next season as well as looking increasingly confident of finding some joy in the Europa League.
It has actually been a pleasing week in Europe for managers deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea like Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Villas-Boas. A penny for the thoughts of Roman Abramovich.
Villas-Boas again fielded a strong team in a competition he won at Porto. Bale was unleashed again through the middle, scoring within six minutes.
Sigurdsson has been in more assertive form of late and he certainly delivered here. Cleverly creating space for a cross out on the left, the Icelandic international lifted in the ball for Bale, timing his arrival well, to flick a header across Samir Handanovic and in.
Inter's area was under siege. Handanovic saved from Defoe and Bale before the less appealing side of Bale was seen after 15 minutes.
Running into the Inter box, he started falling, sensing the chasing figure of Walter Gargano. Any contact came after Bale was advertising the laws of gravity.
It was a clear dive, immediately spotted by the Spanish referee, Antonio Mateu Lahoz. Bale looked crestfallen, having expected a penalty. Instead he had his ticket to the second leg in the San Siro ripped up.
It was so unnecessary as Bale had escaped from Gargano, started dropping, before leaving his foot back, creating the contact.
The way that Spurs continued to raid forward the feeling grew that they could overcome Bale's loss in the San Siro. They added a second within three minutes of Bale's dive, a splendid strike full of quick movement. Dembélé strode through midfield, slipping the ball right to Lennon.
The England winger scampered in that high-speed pitter-patter way of his towards the byline, looking up twice to assess his team-mates' whereabouts.
He easily picked out Defoe, who turned Andrea Ranocchia, the Inter centre-half. Defoe's shot required some quick thinking by Sigurdsson, who leapt out of the way but remained well-placed and alert to turn in the rebound.
Sigurdsson was causing Inter plenty of problems. One of his crosses from the left was met by Jan Vertonghen, whose header back required Handanovic to back-pedal and push the ball over. Spurs then eased up as the break loomed. Inter attempted to give Friedel something to do. Ricardo Álvarez ran through but pulled his shot wide.
Spurs searched for a third after the interval. Bale was fouled by Álvaro Pereira , and took the free-kick which Vertonghen almost turned in.
Their next link-up from a dead-ball situation was more productive after 53 minutes. Bale curled in a corner from the right, and Vertonghen headed in .
Spurs hunted a fourth, Bale leading the charge, running 30 yards before placing his shot fractionally wide. Then Defoe cut in but his shot was fortuitously kept out by Handanovic, the ball hitting him and falling just wide as Spurs fans groaned.
The hosts almost added a fourth after 66 minutes. Lennon won the ball deep in his own half, releasing Defoe and Spurs tore upfield; it was like a speed session at the Haringey athletics track.
Defoe raced with the ball at Zanetti as Bale and Kyle Walker stormed to the right. Zanetti closed him down as Spurs fans sighed in frustration that he had not squared the ball to Bale or Walker.
Spurs players were being taken off to standing ovations. First Dembélé, who had been outstanding in central midfield. Then Sigurdsson, whose goalscoring shift earned him a bear-hug from Steffen Freund. Jake Livermore and Lewis Holtby came on, keeping the momentum.
Spurs had to survive a brief scare when one of the Inter substitutes, Rodrigo Palacio, ran on to Esteban Cambiasso's free-kick through. Friedel saved well with his leg.
As the game entered injury time, Bale risked dismissal when he again fell to earth, earning a lecture from Lahoz.

The pictures do not do this house justice because it is far more beautiful in person.
I rented this house for my family as a vacation/celebration and I don't think I could have made a better pick. It is absolutely beautiful and the 12 of us fit comfortably.
The owners are very easy to work with and are very prompt with sending the information and keys when the time comes. I can only recommend that you extend the same courtesy to them. If something does go wrong, they and the caretaker take care of the problem immediately. We ran out of propane for hot water and it was fixed within an hour. No hassles, no repeat calls. We called once and it was addressed immediately.
All of the bedrooms had A/C units so even though the humidity was pretty high, we were comfortable sleeping at night.
The screened in porch is the best part! I think we all spent most of our waking hours at the house there.
Overall, we really had a great time and my only complaint would be that it went by way too fast. Looking forward to hopefully returning next year!
Sunset & sunrise views on rooftop widows walk are spectacular. Perfect for morning coffee quiet time and cocktail hour with friends.

Hi, I am joining a project which is using Rails 2.0.2, Rspec as a plugin 1.1.4 The problem is specs take 10 minutes to run and I have no time to optimize them now. I am adding cucumber features and would like to run them with autotest (ZenTest 4.0.0). Is there a way to have autotest running *only* the features? It would save me a LOT of time ... In the past, I think I managed to do it with a /script/autofeatures_only looking like: #!/usr/bin/env ruby ENV['AUTOFEATURE'] = 'true' # run only cucumber features ENV['RSPEC'] = 'false' # ONLY the features, not the spec! NOT allows autotest to discover rspec system((RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin|mingw/ ? 'autotest.bat' : 'autotest'), *ARGV) || $stderr.puts("Unable to find autotest. Please install ZenTest or fix your PATH") My rspec/lib/autotest/discover.rb looks like: Autotest.add_discovery do "rspec" if File.directory?('spec') && ENV['RSPEC'] == true end Does anyone have a similar set up with different versions of RSpec? I am planning to upgrade Rails and RSpec in the coming months. Thanks, JM

In Autotest::Rspec (rspec/lib/autotest/rspec-rb) I redefined make_test_cmd like this: def make_test_cmd(files_to_test) # FIXME JM HACK! if ENV['AUTOFEATURE'] =~ /true/i return "#{ruby} -S #{spec_command} #{add_options_if_present} spec/truth_spec.rb" else return "#{ruby} -S #{spec_command} #{add_options_if_present} #{files_to_test.keys.flatten.join(' ')}" end end truth_spec is a dummy spec : describe "Truth" do it "should be true" do true.should be_true end end Doing this, autotest with AUTOFEATURE= true first runs the "specs" but only finds truth_spec which takes about 1s to run and then run the features.

Can you believe Christmas was just under three weeks ago? It seems like ages ago to me, so before it gets even further in the past, I wanted to share the last few things I made for Christmas.
A solid, half-square triangle pillow for my grandmother who we all call Gommy:
I bought a little plastic measuring cup set at Crate & Barrel years ago just because I loved the colors so much; red, orange, yellow, green. That was my inspiration for the colors in this pillow.
A little lunch set for my mother who is retiring at the end of this year. Duuh. Oh well, I told her maybe she could use it for picnics.
I made the bag over the summer (and blogged about it here). I added the napkin, napkin ring, and mug rug all of which I made at the very last minute. I bought a nice little glass container for little snacks and threw in a mug I made when I was taking pottery years ago.
I had visions of making all the kids some kind of matchy-matchy Christmas-y things, but I only got as far as this tie for Frank to match Addie's dress. It was fun to make. I used this tutorial.
Oh and one more funny thing about Christmas then I'll shut up about it for a few months. Addie and I were in the craft room - me crafting away, she doing her normal Addie-puttering. We were listening to Christmas carols - specifically, "The Holly & the Ivy". When the singer got to the part that says, "And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ", Addie exlaimed, "Wow, I never knew Jesus had a last name". Cracked me up.
And in other random news - not Christmas-related, my oldest turn 17 a few days ago.
Yep. 17. He likes sushi, so we went out for sushi for his birthday dinner and had Monkey Bread for dessert. He doesn't like cake - detests frosting with a passion.
The fact that he's 17 now makes me feel old. I know it's cliche, but the time really goes fast - at least in hindsight. One minute there is no end in sight to diapers and being enprisoned by lack of babysitters, and the next minute he's the same age my husband and I were when we first started dating. Scary.
Anyway, my newly-minted 17 year old is an intense Atlanta Falcons fan, so needless to say, there were some pretty stressful moments in our household yesterday.
I rejoined the YMCA the other day and started swimming again. It's too cold and messy to walk outside anymore, so I had to do something. I swam 1800 yards, and it felt great while I was doing it - not so much the next few days as soreness set in, but I'm excited to go for the second time tomorrow morning. I have to pack up tonight, so I have no excuse to skip out of it tomorrow.
Hope you're all having a good week so far. Thanks for all of your help with my Ravelry paralysis.

text: The Canadian AdvantageEven public companies in the US, accustomed to lower-cost alternatives, are starting to see the benefits of the "bought deal" mechanism for issuing equityMay 26, 2017by Brian Burton 2017 Lexpert Special Edition - Corporate Tweet AFTER THREE DECADES as the undisputed heavyweight champ of Canadian equity markets, the bought deal may be attracting challengers, but none of them are true contenders. Bought deals — in which underwriters buy the entire issuance from the client company before it's marketed to the public — have been very good business in Canada, accounting for some 90 per cent of non-IPO (initial public offering) Canadian equity issuances, year in and year out. With quarterly bought-deal totals regularly reaching several billion dollars, Canadian investment banks as a group earn hundreds of millions per quarter. The companies issuing the equity get big no-risk capital injections — which can be dedicated to stated uses — and investors have proven ready to consistently buy up at least the name-plate offering, frequently extending to over-allotments of shares that further reward issuers and underwriters. Since its introduction by Gordon Capital in the mid-1980s, experts say, the all-powerful bought deal has kept both alternative investment structures and competing foreign investment banks largely at bay in the Canadian capital markets. Now, however, a few inventive invaders are testing other investment structures. The key driver of the bought deal is speed, says Stephen Pincus, a securities lawyer with Goodmans LLP in Toronto. An issuer can often have cash in hand for the full amount of the deal, plus any over-allotment, within about 15 business days of signing a bought-deal letter with an investment bank or syndicate. In the US, the same bought-deal process is only available to very large issuers, and used relatively sparingly, while a conventionally marketed deal can take three to six months. National stereotypes to the contrary, Canadian underwriters and investors have embraced the risks of bought deals, while their US counterparts have not, says Calgary securities lawyer David Phillips of Bennett Jones LLP. "Bought deals are the standard way of raising capital in Canada and have been for over 30 years," Phillips says. "You can do bought deals in the United States — it's just not 'the way things are done' down there." This, he says, has had the effect of largely keeping US underwriters out of the Canadian market. Foreign banks sometimes participate in a bought deal, but invariably with a Canadian bank as lead underwriter. Pincus says the bought deal is an enormous advantage for a Canadian company planning an acquisition. "It allows the buyer to have a cheque in hand," he says. "It absolutely makes Canadian companies more competitive from an available-capital point of view," Pincus says. "It's the special sauce of the Canadian market. It's often called the 'Canadian advantage.'" The other great virtue of the bought deal, Pincus says, is that it locks in a guaranteed return for the issuer because underwriters buy the entire issuance from the client company at an agreed price before taking it to market. Unlike a conventional marketed deal, the issuer doesn't have to worry that short-sellers will drive down the market price. That risk is passed to the underwriter. The agreed price for a bought deal usually entails a discount of between one and four per cent off the current market price of company stock, which insulates the underwriting banks from the risk of taking the new issuance to market. That discount is then passed on to the market as a purchase incentive, while underwriters receive a hefty three- to seven-per-cent fee for selling the issuance into the market. "Underwriters have lost money, but that's very rare," Pincus says. They regularly sell out the issuance to institutional investors and retail brokerages within hours or days of announcing the offering. On a hypothetical $1-billion bought deal, with a typical four-per-cent fee, underwriters stand to earn some $40 million in two to three weeks, assuming they sell out the issuance at full price. Phillips notes that TransCanada Corp. paid a $143-million fee (3.25 per cent) to underwriters last year in a Canadian-record $4.4-billion bought deal, which helped fund its $13-billion purchase of Columbia Pipeline Group. Sampling some 5,000 non-IPO issuances in Canada from January 2014 to December 2016, Goodmans estimates that 90 per cent of offerings by previously listed companies are now executed as bought deals. Pincus says some of those deals are done by small- to mid-size foreign-domiciled companies that are drawn to issue equity in Canada due to the relative ease and speed of the Canadian bought-deal process, which he chalks up to regulatory responsiveness and the creativity of Canadian investment banks. Larger Canadian issuers are typically ready to do a bought deal whenever an acquisition opportunity or other business situation makes it attractive, he says. Every registered Canadian company is required to file an annual information form, and this becomes the basis for drafting a new short-form prospectus, to which any recent material events are added. The issuing company then seeks commitment from one or more underwriters (investment banks) in the form of a bought-deal letter that sets out terms of the agreement. The letter is legally binding on the underwriters (Ontario Superior Court, Stetson v. Stifel Nicolaus), requiring them to buy out the entire issue at the agreed price. It specifies the level of any discount below market at which underwriters will acquire the entire new share issue and sell it on, as well as the fees to be earned for marketing the issue. The issuer and underwriters sign the agreement and, on the same day, issue a press release announcing the issue of new shares, usually mid-week and after the close of trading. The release also specifies the intended use of proceeds, which allows prospective investors to judge whether the net effect will be accretive. This becomes day one. The deal is then public and underwriters are allowed to "pre-market" shares to institutional investors, without waiting for a preliminary short-form prospectus to be filed with regulators and approved. This pre-marketing represents a special bought-deal exemption from insider trading rules that otherwise require prospectus-level disclosure before shares can be sold to the public. The issuer and its lawyers then have up to four days to file a preliminary prospectus, bringing the process to day five (or less if they file earlier). An approved final prospectus is usually filed by around day 10. This allows underwriters to close deals contained in expressions of interest secured from institutional investors in the pre-marketing period. If the issue is selling well, the issuer and underwriters can agree to an over-allotment, in which additional shares are sold on the same terms as the original bought-deal agreement, but with the requirement that a new press release be issued to inform the market. In most cases, Pincus says, the entire process is wrapped up and the issue is sold out within two to three weeks. There's nothing legally binding about the expression of interest by institutional investors, Phillips says, "but for all intents and purposes, it's a deal." He concedes that an investor could renege. "But guess what, they're not going to get the call next time." Since bought deals are the lion's share of the market, expressions of interest are always honoured. Now, however, the dominion of the bought deal is being questioned in certain quarters. Desmond Lee, with Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, says there have been recent instances of foreign underwriters seeking to make inroads for alternative deal structures in Canada. He's not convinced usurpers have so far found a winning formula — but efforts are being made. Last September, for example, Credit Suisse Securities and JPMorgan raised $1 billion for Encana Corp. with a modified block trade done on a fee of 1.8 per cent — or less than half the standard fee for a bought deal. But Phillips agrees there are many reasons why this structure appears unlikely to make major waves in Canada. "It was really a US offering," Phillips says. "It was priced in US dollars and shares were delivered through … a US clearing agency. It was filed in the US with the SEC, as well as in Canada." And proceeds were largely dedicated to Encana's US exploration and production activities. The deal was announced on September 19. A preliminary bulleted prospectus supplement was then filed and the offering was marketed the same night. "The low underwriting fee was presumably due to the underwriters being able to market the offering before pricing it and committing to buy it — all consistent with US underwriters' discomfort with the bought-deal structure and attendant risk," Phillips says, pointing out that the Encana arrangement was dependent on too many peculiar circumstances — a well-known Canadian issuer, listed on the NYSE, with a sufficiently large US investor following — all of which ensure it's unlikely to be replicated on a regular basis. Some other alternative structures have been tried, including selling an entire issue directly to institutional investors, without the involvement of underwriters, Phillips notes. But, so far, none has assumed the profile of a powerful new trend. Lee says the trend may actually be tilting in the opposite direction. "I don't see the bought deal in Canada going away anytime soon," he says. "The simplicity, predictability and low execution risk of the bought deal will continue to make it the predominant means of carrying out an equity offering in Canada. If anything, we see the bought deal becoming more popular in the US market."Lawyer(s):Stephen N. Pincus,David F.

There was a 5-4 decision
Under Mississippi Rule of Appellate Procedure 22(c)(4)(ii), Brown unquestionably was entitled to the files and discovery he requested. But because a procedural statute conflicts with the rule, the majority says the statute must control. I do not believe the Legislature has the authority to pass procedural rules in the first place; and I certainly do not agree that procedural statutes should control over conflicting Court rules. The majority is in a different view, so I respectfully dissent.
I am unable to agree with the majority's finding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Brown's discovery request. Brown argues that he is entitled to all records pertaining to his conviction and sentence, as well as the investigation and prosecution of his case, pursuant to Mississippi Rule of Appellate Procedure 22(c)(4)(ii). The majority finds that Rule 22(c)(4)(ii) is inapplicable because it pertains to matters "Preliminary to Proceedings in the Supreme Court," and because the rule is intended to allow a petitioner to gather information to support an application to this Court for leave to file a motion for post-conviction relief in the trial court. Maj. Op. At 7. Thus, the majority finds that, once Brown was granted leave by this Court to file his application for post-conviction relief pursuant to Mississippi Code Sections 99-39-13 through 99-39-23, he was required to show good cause in order to obtain discovery to Mississippi Code Section 99-39-15. Maj. Op. At 8. I agree with the majority's analysis of Rule 22(c)(4)(ii) and its applicability to matters before this court; however, I am persuaded that Brown has shown good cause under Section 99-39-15 for the discovery of all files pertaining to his conviction and sentence, as well as files from the investigation and prosecution of his case. Without these files, Brown is without the means to develop an evidentiary basis to prove his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Accordingly, the majority is remiss in concluding that Brown failed to show that he received ineffective assistance of counsel, given that he did not have available to him all of the information that pertained to this case for possible development of that claim.
Brown was granted leave of this court, in part, to appeal on the issue of whether his lawyers' failure to seek an independent mental evaluation constituted ineffective assistance of counsel. Brown v. State, 749 So. 2d 82, 93 (Miss. 1999). This court directed Brown to file all discovery requests with trial court. Id. In the interim, Rule 22(c)(4)(ii) was revised in 2000 to include its present-day language, which provides:
Upon appointment of counsel, or determination that the petitioner is represented by private counsel, the petitioner's prior trial and appellate counsel shall make available to the petitioner's post-conviction counsel their complete files relating to the conviction and sentence. The state, to the extent allowed by law, shall make available to post-conviction counsel the complete files of all law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies involved in the investigation of the crimes committed and the prosecution of the petitioner.
(Emphasis added.) Pursuant to this rule, Brown filed a motion with the trial court seeking discovery of all the filesof his trial counsel, as well as the complete files of law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies involved in the investigation and prosecution of the capital murder charge against him. Brown's motion was denied by the trial court.
Because Brown did not have benefit of the current version Rule 22(c)(4)(ii) at the time he applied for leave of this Court to file an application for post-conviction relief with the trial court, even if Rule 22(c)(4)(ii) does not apply at this stage of the proceedings, I believe Brown has shown good cause for discovery pursuant to Section 99-39-15, as he has never received the complete files related to his conviction and sentence. The majority reasons that, since the case was remanded on the issue of whether counsel was ineffective in failing to obtain an independent mental heath expert, then Brown was entitled to his mental health records only. However, without benefit of one hundred percent of the files pertaining to the investigation, prosecution, conviction, and sentencing of the charged crime of capital murder, Brown did not have access to essential material with which to attempt to develop and assert his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.
Because discovery was withheld from Brown, I cannot agree that his ineffective assistance of counsel claim can be decided on its merits. The appropriate disposition for the instant case is a remand to allow for discovery, followed by a new evidentiary hearing on the issue of ineffective assistance of counsel, as it relates to a lack of mitigating evidence via an independent mental health expert of Brown's choosing.

We stayed in PaskoHaus apartment 1 for 3 nights in September 2013, so we could see the Croatian coastline, islands, and Plitvice Lakes National Park. It was a convenient location for all of this.

Most students intending to pursue optometry after graduation choose to major in biology or chemistry, both of which are good choices for pre-optometry programs. Pre-professional advisors are available in both of these disciplines to assist in planning an appropriate pre-optometry degree course of study and in understanding the entrance procedures and requirements of various post-baccalaureate programs.
The majority of the professional schools seek students who have completed courses in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and have a background in English, humanities and social sciences. Students who complete pre-optometry programs should possess an ability to solve scientific problems and have a broad undergraduate education. Pre-optometry majors may focus on any subject or pursue any academic interest as long as the required courses are completed.
In preparation for admission to optometry school, pre-optometry majors should obtain a broad background in natural sciences, social studies and humanities. Students should consult bulletins from optometry schools of their choice for specific entrance requirements. Minimum requirements for most professional schools are as follows:
- BIOL 133 and 113 Population Biology and Lab
- BIOL 134 and 114 Cell Biology and Lab
- BIOL 244 Human Physiology
- BIOL 340 Genetics
- BIOL 343 Human Anatomy
- BIOL 345 Microbiology
- BIOL 346 Biochemistry
- CHEM 132 and 111 Gen. Chemistry I and Lab
- CHEM 232 and 211 Gen. Chemistry II and Lab
- CHEM 331 Organic Chemistry I
- CHEM 332 Organic Chemistry II
- MATH 132 College Algebra or higher
- MATH 335 Introduction to Probability and Statistics
- PHYS 241 Physics I
- PHYS 242 Physics II

Why do we need to "prefer"?

Earlier in this thread you used this expression: (X)HTML(1|2) When it comes time for a vote, then it should be explicit. We would need to deprecate the xdoc input format over a long period or provide a special build target to convert from xdocs. I gather that it has always been the plan to evolve the "xdocs" format to XHTML2 anyway. So i am just seeing this proposal as being in line with that. My concerns are the "prefer" issue above, and understanding how we do FAQs and HOWTOs and CHANGES without having the xdocs to control the structure. --David

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
I never had considered myself a rape victim. A heavy drinker? Maybe. A risk-taker? Sure. A third-wave feminist whose bohemian aphorisms excused her fraught relationship with promiscuity? You've got me there.
I had mentally blocked what I simply considered a Very Bad Night for 10 years. It came back up last summer when I landed in Vanderbilt Hospital's Psychiatric Center for a full 48-hour evaluation of "my traumas" (a story for the grandkids!). This entailed a survey of my substance abuse, failed relationships -- a check-listed inventory of each pet death, each pants-less humiliation, each numerical lie: how much I weighed, how many drinks I'd had, how many people I'd slept with.
"Have you ever had a traumatic sexual experience?" the bespectacled psychiatrist asked me.
"Hasn't everyone?" I asked, waiting for him to crack a smile.
He was silent.
"Yes," I said.
"Can you tell me about it?"
It was the last day of my freshman year at Tulane. My parents were picking me up the next morning. A girlfriend of mine who we'll call Jane was crushing like sooo hard on a senior named Len. He was part of a clique that was equally infamous and revered: from their drug connections to their parents' yachts. They wore suits to class; they had a house off campus with an infinity pool. And this was 2001.
Len had finally asked Jane out, and she needed a wing-woman, since he was bringing his friend Jorge. We started at a Pike party. The Pikes had been defunded and kicked off campus for several distasteful "episodes," the most legendary (and legendarily denied) of which was spray painting a pledge with racial epithets and dropping him off without a cell phone or wallet in a 9th ward black neighborhood. Welcome to New Orleans!
So there we were at the party. Body shots were shooting, Woo girls were wooing, the Baha Men were demanding who let the dogs out, some douche named Brett was talking about his dad's architectural firm. It was hot as hell. Jorge was trying to talk to me and I couldn't really hear him, so he kept moving closer to me, which annoyed me. I went outside with Jane -- we had a smoke and checked in:
"How are things going with Len?"
"Amazing. How are things with Jorge?"
We returned to the guys; things got louder, sweatier, closer.
"You playing hard to get?"
I rolled my eyes. ("Playing hard to get" is the worst isn't it? I hate it when a man is nice to me and asks me about myself but doesn't IMMEDIATELY put his penis inside me. I just feel really manipulated.)
"Want another punch?" he asked.
If this were a Choose Your Own Adventure, that's the first chance I had to pick an evening that landed me watching The Amazing Race (2001!) on my laptop and eating a box of Cheez-Its. But instead I said: "Sure."
By the end of the third punch, I was wasted. But besides my compromised motor skills, I was having fun for the first time. Jorge seemed wittier. Everyone was better looking. College! What a laugh! What a journey of independence I'm on! The night is young and so are we! Who did let the dogs out?
When Jane asked me if we could take the party to the guys' house, I barely protested.
"Pleeeease! They are going to teach us to salsa."
"That sounds… dumb."
"Come on, it will be fun. You can leave after we get there. I just don't want to look like a slut going back by myself."
Here lies another opportunity for me to not go to the second location Oprah always warned me about. But instead I said:
They poured shots when we got there. I took one. Or two. I don't remember. They did put on salsa music, but I couldn't get off the barstool where I sat to dance because I felt like I would fall over. And Jorge smelled weirdly like canned corn. And his shirt was unbuttoned to an unreasonable degree.
"You smell like… canned corn," I said.
He laughed at me.
"Your shirt looks like… J. Lo."
He laughed at me.
He pulled me off the stool, finally, and dragged me around the room awkwardly. I closed my eyes and willed the room to stop spinning.
"Put me back down."
He ignored me.
Put me back down."
He deposited me back in my stool. My head felt too heavy for my neck to support it.
I need to…" I kept saying, and I wasn't sure if I meant to end the sentence with "go home" or "puke."
I peripherally realized that we were alone, that Jane and Len had disappeared to the recesses of the house, and for the first time, I was scared. I got up to go to the bathroom and fell into the side of the bar. Len was in front of me.
"You should probably crash."
I feel like this was my last possible shot at an alternate ending: I might have been able to make it outside, sit on the curb, wait for a cab. But instead I said: "Sure."
I was holding onto the bed to keep the room from spinning when he got into bed and started touching me. I said "no" over and over again. I even began counting it, like sheep:
"No no no no no no…"
Was that a dozen? Will it stop at 20?
But he just kept doing what he was doing: putting his mouth on my face (No), taking my panties off (No). I pushed him, but it was like pushing against a padded wall.
But I didn't claw, I didn't gouge, I didn't scream. I didn't do all of the things I had envisioned myself doing if this happened to me.
And at some point I just… gave up. It was almost like it wasn't happening to me. I was scared, but not panicked. I felt a stoic, removed disgust: Ugh, gross.
The next morning, I woke up in bed alone to the sound of music in the kitchen. I walked in, and Len and Jorge were making omelets, like this was a couples' weekend at the beach. Jane was smiling. Jorge offered me a glass of orange juice. I didn't look at him, didn't respond, but I took it and gulped it down. He offered me an omelet.
"Fuck off." I mumbled.
"Sarah!" Jane said.
"It's fine; she's just hungover," Jorge offered.
I didn't argue. I was hungover, after all. I sat in silence until Jane was ready to leave. I was picked up by my parents, and they took me to lunch, and they told me how proud they were of me, and I had to go to the bathroom to puke twice. I didn't tell anyone about it.
Junior year, I lived with five other girls. One of them was getting ready for a date. When the doorbell rang, I answered it, and it was him. I couldn't speak; I just walked back to my room and left him standing at the open door.
When another roommate asked why "I hated Lindsay's boyfriend," I just said "He was a dick to me freshman year."
The French expression "l'esprit de l'escalier" roughly translates as "staircase wit," i.e., thinking of the perfect comeback after the opportunity passes. For years I had envisioned seeing him again: making some eviscerating remark at a house party about his body or penis size, exposing him for his misdeeds in front of a huge group of freshman at orientation. But upon seeing him, I forgot the script to the revenge fantasy.
Over the years, I analyzed the details of the evening to the point of neurosis: What was I wearing? It must have been a skirt, because he had sex with me while I was still clothed. Was it a skirt or dress? Was it short? Did I have one or two shots?
Can you call it "rape" if he makes you an omelet in the morning?
It surprised me when the doctors at Vandy called it "rape." As in:
"Was the Wellbutrin before or after you were raped?"
"What do you mean when I -- oh yeah, that. After."
I would have called it "rape" had it happened to someone else. If I were listening to a friend over the phone. But I couldn't because of my own culpability. Maybe even an inflated sense of self: I am badass; I could have done something.
When I was 14, alone on the beach in the Cayman Islands, I thwarted a sexual assault. Was alcohol the only variable that made me such an easy target? Was it that at 14, I was feisty and independent and on the track team, and at 19, I was a homogenized sorority girl trying to fit in?
My sister is an assistant D.A., and every time says she can't get a rape victim to testify, I get angry at the victim. I think she's weak, and making it harder for the rest of us, and then I tell my brain to shut the fuck up.
I's a problem we have to get at before there's a victim and an aggressor, starting with the language we use: "I'm afraid I'll look like a slut," "You playing hard to get?"
Unfortunately, we as woman are asked to maintain a dangerous balance: be sexy but not slutty, be independent but don't rock the boat. And the same can be said for men: Be in control but not dangerously so, "get" the girl but not forcefully, be a Casanova but not a creep.
The thing that bothers me most about my story is how very common it is: aggression toward women is normalized. So much so that it wasn't that remarkable in my mind. I hope that each little confession and question can lead to some dialogue, some conversation, instead of a quiet acquiescence: "Sure."

To get you in a better mood, here are 4 things you should remind yourself of every morning:

Being nice to children and animals.
Being able to cook a few basic entrees.

Is one of your resolutions to save some money this year? Here's a way to save cash and still visit your favorite watering hole …
10. Get a designated driver. Cheaper than a cab … or a DUI
9. Drink before you go out. Get your buzz on before you hit the bar and you won't have to buy as many drinks.
8. Avoid bars with covers. A no-brainer.
7. Buy pitchers of beer when possible.
6. Buy beer on tap or get drinks with house liquor.
5. Eat before you go out.
4. Split the food order with your buddies. Ordering some appetizers for the table will be cheaper than each of you buying something to eat.
3. Set a budget. Not always easy to stick to once you've had a few – so maybe bring cash and leave the cards at home.
2. Expensive early, cheap later. If you like premium scotch, make your first few drinks the good stuff. Then switch to cheaper swill once you're already buzzed.
1. Stay home. (Askmen.com
During cold weather, you should take the following precautions:
• Stay indoors as much as possible and limit your exposure to the cold;
• Dress in layers and keep dry;
• Check on family, friends, and neighbors who are at risk and may need additional assistance;
• Know the symptoms of cold-related health issues such as frostbite and hypothermia and seek medical attention if health conditions are severe.
• Bring your pets indoors or ensure they have a warm shelter area with unfrozen water.
• Minimize travel. If travel is necessary, keep a disaster supplies kit in your vehicle.Make sure your vehicle has an emergency kit that includes an ice scraper, blanket and flashlight – and keep the fuel tank above half full.

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one's life. In daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation... This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children & everyone you know. After reading these 9 crucial tips, forward them to someone you care about. It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!
2. Learned this from a tourist guide. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you... Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS!) The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.
