I mentioned about six months ago that I had finished knitting Ginny's Sunday Sweater for Fiona. Oh, how I loved knitting this, and the finished sweater is one of my favorite knits ever. Unfortunately, all this long winter, I have had a certain little girl who has refused to wear it, or any sweater (whether handknit or not, she just didn't want the extra layer), which was rather annoying to her mama.
However, the tide seems to have shifted (I say, ever so tentatively) and she's been wearing this sweater on cooler days lately. Last week I convinced her to let me take some pictures of her wearing it, and was so relieved that she obliged. (It was snowy but not that cold.)
I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking. Details about the sweater are here. (If you are thinking about knitting this, you should. It comes in a wide range of sizes, the pattern is written in a very straightforward manner, the little design details are thoughtful and lovely, and it's a fast and easy knit.)

Aircell is edging closer to announcing a plan for offering in-flight Wi-Fi on international flights.
"We are currently finalizing with airline partners and when fully on board, we will make an announcement," Aircell executive vice president and chief marketing officer Ash ElDifrawi reveals to ATI and Flightglobal.
For the last few years Chicago-headquartered Aircell has been studying various options for augmenting its Gogo air-to-ground (ATG)-based connectivity solution in the United States with a satellite-supported solution for off-shore and over-water flights.
"This is not just about Aircell wanting to do international trials. It's about the partnerships, the technology being available and the airlines being on board. Right now I'm pretty excited about the progress we've made," says ElDifrawi, who joined the firm in October after holding leadership positions at online mass merchant retailer Hayneedle, Google and others.
ElDifrawi adds that Aircell has been working "hot and heavy" on the international offering and is close to defining the plan.
The company does not say if it will use L-band or Ku-band satellite capacity, or if it will wait until Ka-band connectivity is available. "We're finalizing with the airlines our technology road-map," notes ElDifrawi.
Aircell has secured several customers for its Gogo ATG service, including legacy carriers American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, US Airways and United Airlines.
In-flight Wi-Fi on overseas flights could become more important to international operators now that Lufthansa has re-instated its Ku-band-based FlyNet in-flight Internet offering under a partnership with Panasonic Avionics.
Lufthansa is currently the only carrier offering high-speed Internet over the Atlantic.

Lemon cheesecake
- Serves: 4
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Effort: easy
- 12 digestive biscuits
- 100 g butter, softened
- 1 tsp clear honey
- 2 lemons, finely grated zest and juice
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- 500 g mascarpone
- 1/4 punnet strawberries
- 1 sprigs mint
- 150 ml raspberry sauce, to serve
- spun sugar, to serve
Tips and Suggestions
If you make one and half the quantity, you can fill one large ring to serve six.
1. Crush the biscuits into small pieces and combine with the butter and honey. Put this mixture into 4 metal rings and press evenly into the bottom of the moulds.
2. Stir the lemon juice, zest and icing sugar into the cheese, being sure not to mix it too much as this will cause the mixture to split. Taste as you go - if you have very juicy lemons you may not need all the juice.
3. Spoon the mix into the rings and use a palette knife to press it down to prevent air gaps. Sit onto serving plates and remove the rings, loosening with with a hot cloth or blowtorch.
4. Decorate the tops with the strawberries and sprigs of fresh mint. Spoon the sauce around the side and top with spun sugar.

60 Reviews (4.7 out of 5 Grommets)
I enjoyed using this genius bag so much that I bought one for my daughter and my sister-in-law. In this day of limited carry-on space, it's wonderful to have all my needed items in one place for easy access. No more digging under the seat to get something.More > < Less
I purchased this after a long flight overseas but I have since used it to travel in the US. It really keeps everything within reach and keeps you organized. I was carrying a LV tote and it easily slipped inside as we boarded and de-planed, My other half loves his too. Enjoy it!!! I had my magazines, kindle, phone, earphones, puzzle books and my Mac all within reach.More > < Less
This product was reconnected to me by a coworker who does quite a bit of long distance travel. I was heading to Hong Kong ( my first real long distance flight). This bag made it very easy to access anything you may need during the flight. You can also use this as your purse. I bought one for my friend who was traveling with me . She travels quite a bit and was also happy with this bag. I feel Grommet had the best price and by buying 2 I had no shipping which was another reason I bought the bags from Grommet.More > < Less
My Husband loved it.!!!
Worked well for travel.

So my computer DIED about 3 days ago while I was working on my shift at the library. I figured out why I couldn't connect to the internet at school; Clean Access Agent does not support AVG 8.0+, at least not the version that our school is currently using. I heard from some other forum that the very newest one does, but apparently, our school doesn't use that version yet.
So I installed 7.5 again. After the installation was over, it started picking up all this virus in my registry files. So I kept clicking "Heal" After a restart, everything was supposed to work.
Instead, the computer DIED. It kept rebooting, without actually getting to Windows.
After hours of crying, biting lips, and cussing, I found these guys at UCI, who miraculously resuscitated my computer and now I'm happy again. Whew.
To think that I'd have to abandon a 4-year relationship with my laptop RIGHT before the most important exams in my life (Last Finals in Law School + CA Bar Exam).. I've been thinking about getting a netbook after this computer, with longer battery life but not NOW. Not when I'm about to embark on a 3-month No Sleep, No Fun, No Money bar prep.. Maybe when I'm done with the bar exam and start looking for a job, yeah, maybe then, but definitely not now.
In the mean time, I'll update a picture of Marty's vest; I made it for him few months ago. It fits nicely on him (Chest 38~39) but he wants it a little longer. I'm gonna see if I can pick up stitches around the 2x2 ribbing on the bottom.
The yarn I used is Patons Classic Merino Wool.. It's, as many knitters know already, very basic wool, pretty soft and sturdy, your everyday wool. Nothing too fancy. I love the fact that I pay about $4~5 for 220 yds. Between this and cascade 220, I sometimes prefer Patons. To me, it feels a lot more squishier.. a little more splitty (220 is pretty well plied) but still.
I think my next project for him is going to be more fun project.. Perhaps argyle? And definitely mashine washable. I'm all in love with mashine washable things in life.
Speaking of washing wool, Marty and I bought this few weeks ago:
I use the blue ones in the kitchen, and use the yellow ones for my fiber projects. They're so handy when I dry unraveled yarn, or handwashed sweaters. So convenient, I must call it my Best Purchase of 2009.

PARIS (Reuters) - Veteran Chanel designer, Karl Lagerfeld, sent his models down the catwalk on Tuesday ready for a world that is "not that sweet" in black leather combat-style boots with hard and flattened bowler-shaped hats.
High heels were nowhere to be seen as models walked for half a mile, snaking around rows of gilded chairs to the sound of techno music.
"Women need to be ready to defend themselves ... in a world that is not that sweet," Lagerfeld, 82, told Reuters after the show.
"It's not the bourgeois cocktail hat, the ladylike hat, this is another kind of hat, I wouldn't say aggressive, but more protective," he said.
His collection included dozens of the brand's classic tartan suits in all shapes and colours, worn with multiple rows of pearls, some mixed denim, leather and fringes. Models also wore long black leather gloves that zipped at the back.
This time round, Lagerfeld, who has been Chanel's artistic director since 1983, made sure that everyone had a front row seat. Guests included Pharrell Williams and Willow Smith.
"Everybody dreams of being on the front row and today, everybody got to be on the front row and everybody could see the details ... so nobody could complain," he said.
Three male models closed the show, Lagerfeld said, because the brand had a "huge following" among men in countries such as Japan, South Korea and China.

toast with an egg in the middle
liz lamoreux
Imagine you find yourself alone in your kitchen.
Alone with a silent house and no one needs you for the next two hours. (No one needs you. Seriously. This moment is just for you.)
And you are hungry.
And you remember that you want to attempt the "toast with an egg in the middle" dish you ate for breakfast in Portland on Saturday. Or rather you watched your daughter eat because suddenly she was hungry and wanted everything on your plate.
So you get to it.
Step 1: Gather a piece of bread + butter + an egg. And decide to practice with your 50mm lens and put the egg in a dish
Step 2: Use a juice glass to "cut" a hole in the middle of the bread. (Consider first beginning to melt the butter mentioned in Step 3 if you aren't stopping to take photos.)
Step 3: Warm up your pan over medium heat and begin to melt a good amount of butter. (The butter really seems to be the key.) After the butter melts, put the bread in and turn it over so both sides are covered with at least some butter.
Step 4: Crack that egg and put it right in the middle of the bread.
Step 5: While the egg cooks, pour yourself a cup of coffee in your new favorite mug.
Step 6: When the egg settles in the middle, flip it over and marvel at the fact that you didn't burn side one.
Step 7: Add your little circle from the middle of the bread and let it cook while side two cooks for just a minute or two.
Step 8: Scoop that egg out of the pan, put it on your new favorite plate, and set the table while the little circle of bread cooks for another minute. (Consider how much easier it would be to just add the circle at the beginning and decide to do that next time.)
Step 9: Grab a favorite book of poetry on your way to the table and take a moment to breathe in all the joy of these colors and the quiet and this time just for you.
Step 10: Eat it up. (And maybe even find yourself right in the middle of a poem that takes your breath away and reminds you of why you know "poeming it out" will save you again and again. Yes.)
What have you been cooking lately? I'm having some fun in the kitchen again and would love to know.

In the largest "milcon exchange" in Army Reserve history, SunCal Cos. will construct $80 million worth of much-needed facilities at Camp Parks Reserve Forces Training Area in northern California in return for 180 acres of land at the post where the Irvine, Calif.-based developer will build a master-planned community.
SunCal will construct a new main gate, an administrative building for base police, a maintenance support facility, a regional medical training facility, an Army Reserve training facility, a public works warehouse, and road and utility improvements, according to the reserve property exchange agreement the two signed last week.
On its parcel, located less than 25 miles southeast of Oakland, SunCal will develop Dublin Crossing, a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use community planned around a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station. The development will include 1,500 homes, parks and several hundred thousand square feet of retail, office, hotel and industrial uses.
"This exchange represents the type of innovative public-private partnerships that will enable us to maintain top-rate facilities for our Reserve Forces for many decades to come," Joe Calcara, deputy assistant secretary of the Army, said in a written statement.
Washington, D.C.-based Nova Property Solutions provided support for the exchange agreement. Read the story in the Contra Costa Times.

As reported in a Morning Call feature of Sen. Bob Casey's re-election chances Wednesday, (read it here) the Democrat's chances for a second term is high and no viable Republican challenger is yet willing to take him on.
A Quinnipiac poll released this morning reinforces that showing 47 percent of Pennsylvania voters would pick Casey over the Republican, including 44 percent among independent voters.
"You can't beat somebody with nobody and right now nobody is emerging as a possible Republican challenger to Sen. Bob Casey, Jr.," Tim Malloy, assistant director at Quinnipiac's polling institute said in a release. "Pennsylvania voters like their senior senator, but more than one-in-four are undecided. And in three measures, job approval, deserves reelection and Casey v. nobody, Casey is short of that magic 50 percent mark that allows incumbents to sleep more comfortably at night."
Numbers have improved for President Obama, whose presence in Pennsylvania over the campaign could help or hurt Casey depending on the president's approval. The poll finds 48 percent say he deserves to be re-elected up from 42 percent in the same poll in April.
The most shocking number in the poll is how high Rick Santorum ranks in Pennsylvania -- a state that voted him out of the US Senate by 18 points in 2006 -- among Republican presidential hopefuls. In most polls, Santourm barely registers, but among Pennsylvanians he receives 16 percent support, second only behind Mitt Romney with 21 percent.
But if Santorum received the GOP nomination, he would lose to Obama 49 percent to 38 percent, according to the poll. It's a bit closer between Obama and Romney: 47 percent to 40 percent.
Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,277 registered voters from June 7 - 12 and has a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points. For the questions about the GOP presidential primary, 523 Republicans were surveyed with a margin of error of +/- 4.3 percentage points.
How can anyone rate Casey as worthy of re-election? He is a yes man for Harry.
He is strictly a party man no matter what
the issue. He has no backbone and no principles.
Has he written any worthwhile legislation?
When in times of trouble, poll the democrats to "improve their viability"....
Polling is a science, not a form of lobbyism. Just because you think that way doesn't make it true.
Obama improving? What is that a Joke? He hasn't done anything since elected except spend money!
Limbaugh Sucks: I took numerous courses in statistics in college, the accuracy of a poll depends on how randomly distributed the sample is.
If you want the results of your poll to reflect your beliefs, you alter the distribution of the samples to reflect the viewpoint you want your poll to show...
David, I have taken more statistics than you, also courses in survey design and marketing research. These people are experts at developing and surveying representative samples and do not do so with ideological bias. You simply choose not to believe the result and assume the bias is there when it is not.
Furthermore, I taught statistics at two universities and publish original research using statistical analysis.
You should know that Quinnipiac's poll for the 2008 presidential election was biased by only .07% (less than 1 vote per 1,000). And - it was biased in FAVOR of Republicans.
Stop trying to protest reality.
Furthermore, I taught statistics at two universities and publish original research using statistical analysis
If you say so, but as you also should understand that the only poll which matters is the one taken on election day by counting the votes cast.
Although, I must say I'm not surprised about the number of PhD leftists that haunt these message boards..
I think the Center For Disease Control, otherwise known as the CDC ought to investigate the epidemic
political stupidity that is sweeping the State. Anyone who thinks Obama and Casey are doing a great job has been drinking water tainted from gas
drilling.Obama spent the first two and a half years of his Presidency shoving Obama care down our throats with an unemployment rate of 9%.He`s
divided the Nation bitterly and Casey was right there backing him all the way.Way to go Dems,self destruct,ruin the Nation and they`ll still vote for you.
When was this poll taken? After last weeks economic news you would have to be an idiot to vote for Obama.

Didn't one of your conservative Gods(Corbett) determine that gas drilling was harmless to the environment? So which is it?
David, I am an Independant. Your right and wrong.
Firstn of all unlike most Democrates, my God is
not a politician. I don`t worship them like the Dems do. Second I don`t see any solutions to the energy problems this country is facing comming from Dems. Third, if your happy with 4.00 a gallon
gasoline and no solutions to the problem, then keep voting the way you are. Country is in fine shape. Duh.
God Bless Obama
May God help Obama. He`s gonna need it.
Bob Casey is joined at the hip of Obama,he is nothing more than a rubber stamp for any Liberal,economy killing,anti American,job killing,piece of crap legislation to come his way,OH wait! Harry Reid did tell him its ok to go against the church/birth control thing , and the Keystone pipe line thing because his doing so wont matter any way and he is up for election! see right through it though it,Its as simple as A B C , anyone but Casey!!!

Today is an enforced admin day (well morning) as my car is having a 'wee bit service' at the garage, so I'm at home catching up on all those things that I keep putting off...like paperwork and admin...sigh. I'd much rather be making more soap in my workshop, but needs must.
You may not know this but to enable me to bring lovely handmade soap and bath goodies into being, there are an awful lot of legal aspects to consider...PIF's, MSDS, SA's and now a new EU Portal, not to mention a whole host of new regulations to adhere to from July....WHAAAA...??? I hear you cry...fear not, this mumbo jumbo is just for me to worry about...and make sure I get right!! so I can continue to bring you some lovely all natural and (hopefully) beautiful creations to pamper yourselves with.
Sooo...this is what has been keeping me awake at night...and is where the grey hairs have been coming from too I'll bet...well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!
As a natural soap maker I have to keep records of every single item I make with batch numbers, manufacturing and use by dates, full ingredients (including Latin names) and allergen declarations for each essential oil I use in every single product. Each record also has to state the individual ingredients batch number form my suppliers too...so you can only begin to imagine how many files I have on the shelves and my computer now!! This is all so I can comply with current standards and guidelines of soap and cosmetic manufacture...I just have to remind myself that without doing this, I cannot play and make soap for you lot...so it's WORTH it! I just thought you might like to know a little about how much also goes on in the background as well as all about the products I make.
I'm almost done now and my eyes are squaring up as I type, so how do you fancy a peek at some of my new LIMITED EDITION summer soaps...(and yes, I have done my paperwork for them too). I'd love to hear what you think :D
Find them on my website to order now... www.oakwoodsoaperie.co.uk

Duties and taxes are subject to the value of the dutiable shipment as assigned by the World Customs Organisation.

All information provided on your air waybill, commercial invoice and other relevant documents are used to assess your duties and taxes.

Facebook's Timeline layout is pretty cool, but it lacks a lot of social elements that could make it truly awesome. Friends can add messages and photos to it, but they layout isn't very inviting for them to do so, and it doesn't let them go very deep on one particular experience.
Tracks is a New York-based mobile app startup that wants to make short bursts of timelines to go in depth on particular experiences. It says it's going after the "Experience Graph." Users can use the app to make social photo-stories called 'tracks' together.
Users have chronicled everything from holiday celebrations to dates with significant others. They can join a friend's track and help it come to life too.
Today, Tracks is announcing a $1 million round of seed financing from General Catalyst, TMT Investments, Eniac Ventures, AppFund, BHV Ventures, Harbor Road Ventures, Atventure.us and some angels.
Photobucket founder Alex Welch is joining the board of directors.
Tracks founder Vic Singh says he'll put the money toward product development. He'll also begin securing distribution deals. Singh launched Tracks at TechCrunch Disrupt New York last May.

Examples of poor graph design, along with redesigns that work
Those of you who are familiar with this website already know that it includes an Examples section, which shows several ineffectively designed graphical displays, along with critiques to explain why they don't work, and proposed redesigns to show how they could be improved. Many people find these examples helpful, both for raising awareness about the mistakes that people often make when designing graphs, and for instruction in how to effectively communicate graphically.
I have just added two new examples, which you might find worthwhile, which are the first two that appear at the top of the Examples section of this site.
Take care,

Global Communications Faculty
Subjects: English Language, English Literature, French, Spanish, Media
The vision of The English and Communications Faculty at Epping St John's is to provide a challenging, dynamic and varied curriculum that is designed to ensure that all students fulfil their full academic potential by leaving ESJ as articulate speakers, analytical readers, confident writers of The English Language, critical consumers of the mass media and fluent linguists. Our intention is to make each pupil an independent learner. Schemes of work are constantly reviewed and updated to ensure that the delivery of the curriculum meets the needs of all students. It is expected that all students engage in independent personal reading throughout their time at ESJ and their progress is monitored. Teachers in the Faculty also offer students a range of extra-curricular activities that are designed to extend their knowledge, skills and interest in the subjects of English, French and Spanish including a day trip to Boulogne in France in Year 7 and a 5 day trip to Paris in Year 9. Home Learning tasks are set regularly and next-step learning targets enable students to make rapid progress in their learning.
Year 7
Students take a Baseline Test soon after entry to ESJ. The results are carefully moderated to ensure that students are placed in the correct sets. These sets are reviewed at regular intervals throughout students' time at the school.
Current units of work ensure that students study a breadth of texts from drama, poetry, non-fiction/media, modern and pre-20th Century prose and Shakespeare.
In French and Spanish, students cover the following topics: Self, Family and Friends, Home School and Free Time Activities.
KS3 Course Overview English Language
Years 8
Current units of work ensure that students study more drama, poetry, non-fiction/media, modern and pre-20th Century prose and Shakespeare.
In French and Spanish, students deepen their understanding of grammar and cover a broad range of topics including Outings, Food, Holidays and Travel, Future Plans and Healthy Living.
Years 9/10/ 11
All students are entered for AQA GCSE English Language and AQA GCSE English Literature. In addition to this, some students are entered for the Cambridge IGCSE qualification.
Students who chose to study one or two languages are entered for OCR GCSE French and/or Spanish Language. They are prepared for a number of Speaking and Writing Controlled Assessments in different topics including Self, Family and Friends, School, Career and Work Experience or Holidays.
Students also have the option of studying for a GCSE Media Studies qualification. This involves them producing high-quality media-type products which show their understanding of the use of established media conventions. Candidates IT skills need to be highly-developed to obtain the highest GCSE grades.
KS4 Course Overview English Language/Literature
Years 12/13
English Literature
This A Level is an ideal choice for anyone who loves reading and books. Literature and is interested in the big questions affecting human existence. It is also a highly respected A Level that can be instrumental in helping students gain university places in a variety of subjects. Students will also gain a great deal of academic prowess through a subject that promotes the development of transferable skills. English students are taught to think analytically, consider different interpretations and listen and respond to one another sensitively in preparation for the seminar style environment they are likely to find at university. One of the most important skills they learn is how to write coherently and critically. This is an essential skill that will aid them in their other subjects and is invaluable in higher education and the world of employment.

We've been taught to play small.
We've been taught to hide our needs, our bodies and ourselves.
Especially when we have various marginalized identities.
And then those oppressive voices get engrained in our minds and bodies.
And even when we know better, it's often hard to actually feel our worthiness in our bones.
It's possible, and necessary.

Know what you want and ask for it
Get off the rollercoaster of worrying about what you did or didn't do, particularly in relation to your body
Feel at ease and trust in your own body wisdom
Look in the mirror and smile
Go to social events feeling confident in yourself

Dust off your finest shorts tuxedo and your Chucks — it's that time of year again.
Thursday brings my very first Age A-List & Creativity Awards Gala, which I'm told is a raucous affair filled with fabulous outfits and after-party Patron shots (which, for the record, I plan to stay far, far away from).
If you're headed to the gala, come say hello. I'll regale you with what I think is a hilarious story about a rogue iguana during a coffee break earlier this week at the 4A's. Anyone who doesn't laugh is getting immediately kicked off the A-List.
Now for what you actually came here for: Some agency news from this week.
Wongdoody gets snapped up
Wongdoody (a multiple winner of Ad Age Small Agency Awards) has been acquired by Infosys, a tech services and consulting giant based in Bengaluru, India. According to Infosys' fourth-quarter and year-end results, Infosys entered into an agreement to acquire WongDoody Holding Company for a "total consideration of up to $75 million including contingent consideration and retention payouts," subject to regulatory approval and fulfillment of closing conditions.
What's in it for Wongdoody, which has offices in Seattle and Los Angeles? As the agency's CEO Ben Wiener puts it, this gives the agency "instant scale" and expertise to build "brand platforms for the future." "This is a unique marriage of digital strategy, creative and technology talents to build the agency model that modern CMOs are demanding," he said in a statement.
For Infosys, it's the latest in a series of moves to help its customers with digital transformation in the areas including strategy, design, user experience and creative. Infosys has also acquired Brilliant Basics, a London-based digital design and customer experience firm.
GA Tally gets some new features
If you didn't sleep through January, you might remember the controversy around tech conference CES and the fact that it was light on solo female keynotes (actually, it didn't have any at all). The group that alerted the world to that fact was GenderAvenger, which is dedicated to ensuring "women are represented in the public dialogue."
GenderAvenger this week announced it has updated its tool, an app called "GA Tally." The tool is meant to track how many women — and in particular, women of color — speak or have a chance to participate. The app can also be used to track how much time men and women speak onstage, at a meeting or on TV — which can be made into an easily shareable image that can be shared on social media.
For its makers, it's a easy way to call out gender and race inequality in public life (meaning ad conferences or anywhere else).
Tweet of the week
People are getting too crazed about digital data. It's only used for personalized messaging. You still have a brain and can control your response. If you don't like targeting, I hope you enjoy the image below, because this is what your future ads will look like. pic.twitter.com/5zTtNsSdtH— Ben Kunz (@benkunz) April 12, 2018
Gore-Tex warms up to Dentsu
W.L. Gore & Associates, known for its signature Gore-Tex innovative fabric, just named Dentsu Aegis Network as its global media agency partner. The 60-year-old Gore, which is headquartered in Newark, Delaware and used by retailers such as LL Bean and Marmot, is reinventing itself for the modern consumer. Consultancy Flock Associates handled the media agency search, which began earlier this year. According to a release, Gore wanted an agency able to "integrate digital-first ideas with traditional channels." Gore recently appointed WPP's AKQA its lead creative agency as well.
Mekanism Takes N' Bakes
Papa Murphy's has a new creative agency in Mekanism, following a competitive pitch. The agency's managing director Lisa Zakroff said in a statement she was excited to "take home a lot of mushroom, sausage and pepperoni-themed 'market research.'" The brand spent $29.8 million in measured media in the U.S. in 2017, according to Kantar Research. That's a lot of pepperoni.
MediaLink hires Ebiquity alum
MediaLink has hired Nick Manning, formerly chief strategy officer at Ebiquity, as a senior vice president. Manning, who had previously been CEO of OMD in the UK, will focus on MediaLink's Europe expansion. Chairman and CEO Michael Kassan said in a statement that Manning has "launched and built some of the most respected media agencies and consultancies in the industry, and he's widely sought-after by industry leaders for his perspective and analysis" and that his leadership and foresight would be a "massive asset" to MediaLink's growth and its clients.

Mentorship – Get inspired !
This post originally appeared on blog.up.co
Some of the most important people in the Startup weekend are our mentors. They spend hours supporting the teams, helping them how to reach their goals and ideas, and training them for the following pitches. We were interested in knowing a little bit more about one of our mentor's experiences in the Startup Weekend and how it has influenced his life so far.
David Andersen is a Startup Weekend veteran as he started organizing the event since 2012. After his first time in Startup Weekend he was a bit hesitant in participating again as he thought it would be ''just another weekend like the previous one'', but once he started he didn't want to stop. David tells us that Startup Weekend is like a drug, and after the first time it becomes an addiction because it's so much fun. He has been travelling around Europe as an organizer and afterwards became a facilitator. This year it's his first time as a mentor and he can't hide his excitement. Although he is the youngest mentor we have this year, his experience is very much valuable. David is the founder of Bagvendt, a tech and design company that helps clients building prototypes in order to take an idea to the final product. Our newly mentor started his first business when he was 10 years old selling Christmas products and worked in a shop from 11 to 18 years old. All these years working for someone else made him forget how much he loved being an entrepreneur and how it was important for him being involved in businesses. His first participation in the Startup Weekend when he was 20 reminded him about his passion and from that time on he decided to get back to his roots. According to David, the best aspect of being an entrepreneur is the freedom, flexibility and the opportunity to work with great people.
The top 3 advices David gives to our teams during the Startup Weekend Aarhus are:
- Always use your imagination;
- Validate your ideas in order to find out how to make money out of it;
- Enjoy the journey and celebrate the small things.
About these year's experience, David is amazed with the atmosphere, the interaction between the participants and the amazing work that all the teams are developing. He secretly tells us that there is at least one teamidea that has a great potential to grow in the future.
Indeed, amazing things are happening this weekend and this experience is going to be a life changer for many people here. We can't wait to see and to announce which team will win this exciting contest! Stay with us !!

August Strindberg
Those marriages generally abound most with love and constancy that are preceded by a long courtship.

Getting married is like permanently grafting your hand to the cookie jar. No matter how sweet those cookies may taste, you can't help but wonder what would have happened if you'd chosen some other dessert--brownies, for instance ... or frozen yogurt ... or maybe chocolate strudel.
Jerrome P. Crabb

There are little, hidden evil monsters inside your equipment –says Shlomo
Not long ago I was on the big stage in Glastonbury and my loop station sent an error message:
"Too busy press any key."
I was shocked – here I was in the middle of a performance with 10,000 people watching and not only had my technology just stopped – it sent me an obscure message that sounded like something from an Atari computer from the 1980s!
I read the message out to the crowd and they thought it was funny.
This turned out to be a happy accident: I pressed a random key and a weird tempo emerged which led to a new version of my song.
Too Much Tech
If you've seen me do my stuff, you'll realize that I'm immersed in technology.
That's why what I am going to say next may sound a bit odd: you just have to make sure that technology doesn't get in your way.
Nothing is worse than constantly fiddling with stuff on stage – it gets in the way of you and the audience.
How much technology do you need?
The answer is personal to every vocalist – but the principle stays the same: only use technology if there is something that you need to do – that you couldn't do without it.
Remember the core of what you do is your voice, your performance skills and your groove.
Ensure what you introduce on stage, technologically, is integral to what you want to present.
Redeeming the Error Message
Having said this, however, little hidden evil monsters will wreak havoc in your equipment at precisely the wrong time.
When that happens, don't be afraid to admit this to your audience – this will usually make them feel closer to you.
Lots of vocalists are getting excited about looping – and rightly so: looping is an incredible opportunity for vocalists to be more in control of their sound.
But looping presents a huge challenge- especially if something goes wrong at the beginning of the loop – then it is there for the entire song!
If you're looping and make a mistake early on – I think it's vital to stop the song and say something about it.
The crowd loves to think you are real and a human being that can get something wrong.
A "whoopsie" moment can makes people smile, brings people together – and no one is going to walk out.
My Reactions To This Week's Peer Review Vids
KowBoy Tom – Johnny B. Goode (Cover)
Tom, it's good to see that you have your own style and unique take on a classic song. It's clear that you are enjoying yourself on stage which makes it fun to watch. I think you could try varying the harmony effect on your voice a little, for example if you were to bring it in for the chorus, and not during the verses, it would have more of an impact and make the performance more dynamic and exciting.
Uli – Silent Wings (Cover)
Uli – it's great to see how much you get from this performance. Your voice has a uniquely interesting sound and works really well especially for those deep notes. I would like to see your confidence build as you get more experienced, so take hold of that free feeling you get when you sing and don't stop!
Check out Shlomo's exclusive VoiceCouncil Interview – he discusses his most embarrassing, challenging and productive moments…
Shlomo gave up astrophysics to perform his amazing vocal pyrotechnics. It was a good move. Since then he has won global acclaim and worked with some of the biggest names in music. He's the 2011 winner of the World Loopstation Championships in LA and is now knee deep in a dizzying festival season including Glastonbury and The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. His next project is a brand new vocal project called "Shlomo and the Lip Factory" which launches with a new EP and mini tour in October.

Abby: I see that you are a Jersey girl that has relocated to Tampa, Florida.
Alisa: Yes and I love it here!
Abby: What is a typical day in the life of Alisa Summers like?
Alisa: During the week, I spend most of the time as Alex. I have a day job, and friends that I like to spend time with. Other than that, I love to sit at home and work on costumes, or going out and having a few drinks. Alisa comes out on the weekends!
Abby: I have been reading the comments from the previews of RPDR and people are comparing you to Carmen Carrera. They say that you sound and act alike. How do you feel about that?
Alisa: I am actually very flattered by these comments, to be honest. Carmen is a friend of mine and I thought she was flawless on season 3, and she is a beautiful person. If people want to call me baby Carmen, I'm fine with that! Plus, we both like to give you BODY!
Abby: How do you keep that body in shape?
Alisa: I eat a lot and lay on the couch! Ha, ha! Honestly, I don't have much time for working out. Stomping around in heels and being fabulous is all the exercise this queen needs.
Abby: Have you had any funny experiences buying women's clothes or shoes?
Alisa: Drag shopping is always a funny experience. I don't care how dude-ish I am walking in; facial hair, baseball hats and baggy jeans, I have no problem trying on a fierce pair of heels.
Abby: How tall are the tallest pair of heels you have ever worn?
Alisa: I love crazy shoes. I think the tallest heel might've been about 9 inches. They weren't very easy to dance and maneuver in.
Abby: Did you ever get stage fright?
Alisa: I got stage fright a lot when I was first starting out. I used to be backstage and they announce me and I'd let out this deep cough/gag sound. My show director called it "the cough." It was him who actually pointed out one night, "I haven't heard the cough in a while, bitch!" As far as overcoming it, no matter how nervous I was, once I hit the stage and the lights hit me, I had no fear. The stage is where I belong!
Abby: What was the scariest thing that ever happened to you while in drag?
Alisa: Honestly? The scariest thing, and my biggest fear, has happened to me. I was arrested in full high-whore drag. You don't ever want to be treated the way I was treated when I arrived at the jail. Girls, BEWARE!
Abby: What celebrity would you like to see in drag?
Alisa: I would love to see Justin Bieber in drag. I mean, please, half the work is already done!
Abby: Who has been your biggest drag inspiration and why?
Alisa: I have been very fortunate to be the only girl on cast at the Honey Pot. The other three spots rotate and I get to see and work with all kind of talents from all over the country. I draw inspiration from everyone, because you can never learn too much about drag.
Abby: What was your favorite moment from any of the previous seasons of RPDR?
Alisa: My favorite moment is whenever Ru comes in and says, "One more thing…" Just to remind you that you thought you had this challenge down packed, but you better think again!
Abby: Who did you want to win RPDR from season 1, 2 and 3?
Alisa: I wanted Nina to win season 1. I love her. She is so sweet. I met her Years ago. I wanted Juju for season two because that bitch was down. And for season three, of course I wanted my sister Alexis to win.
Abby: In regards to drag, what is your biggest pet peeve?
Alisa: My biggest pet peeve would have to be when a queen doesn't wear body or nails. If you want to play the part, then play the part.
Abby: What is your favorite drag expression?
Alisa: It's a toss up between "the house down," and "what's the T?!"
Abby: What is RuPaul's Drag Race like?
Alisa: RuPaul's Drag Race is like totally the coolest show on TV, duh!"
Abby: Well Alisa I cannot argue with that. I cannot wait to see you on the show along with all of the other racers.

Pothole Cratered Highways, Coast to Coast Potholes and Beyond
In the business of potholes, when the weather is coldest is actually when things really heat up. We are talking heated emotions over damages to vehicles from potholes. And heated pressure on road crews and politicians. Sometimes, a hot asphalt mix is used to repair the potholes found in highways to fix them. But in the coldest environs, a temporary cold patch mix is more often used for pothole repair. Unfortunately, temporary cold patch mix often needs to be refilled just a week or two later.

The footy swap cards that were never swappedAuthor: Ken Mansell - Published At: 2013-04-07 17:22 - (10339 Reads)
Football has always been more than what happened on the field. Ken's story about memories from 1950's Camberwell shows just how much life has changed. Today with TV, magazines and the Internet, we are bombarded with images and choices, but the 1950's were a different time, and the value of Footy cards was much more than the dollars. They were a direct connection into another world.
My parents moved into Number 40 Bellett Street in 1945, three years after their marriage. The street ran south from Riversdale Road and linked up with Camberwell Road near Bowen Street and the Camberwell Oval. Bellett Street was not a prestigious address.
Most of the houses were rundown, single-fronted, Edwardian places. It was a lower-middle-class enclave in a middle-class suburb. Bellett Street marked some sort of architectural boundary on the eastern fringes of Camberwell. Beyond was the more recently developed area of Californian bungalows called 'The Golf Links Estate'. Many years later I learned Barry Humphries had grown up there.
Dad and Mum were respectable lower middle-class. Dad was a self-employed draftsman/engineer (heating and ventilating ) and worked long hours at home on his drawing board in the dining room. My parents struggled to make ends meet. In 1951 we acquired an Austin A40 and no longer had to walk through our neighbour's garden to Stodart Street and Willison station.
I had lots of friends in the neighborhood. They would join my brother and I after school to re-occupy our territory at the corner of Bellett Street and Nelson Road. There were few cars then. You were more likely to get bowled over by a horse.
In the days before supermarkets, everything seemed to get delivered to us by horse and cart. Men from Wales Brothers came right into our kitchen with the blocks for our ice chest. Bellett and Cook delivered the milk to our door. Our bread came the same way. No wonder we were always dodging manure.
My brother and I spent hours on the corner. If we were not climbing the trees we were using the telegraph pole with the War Loans sign as a batsman's wicket. I was a normal healthy little seven-year-old. But from an early age I had shown a disturbing proclivity for disobedience. I could accept being forbidden to play in the street on the sabbath but there were some instructions I could not accept.
I definitely had a problem when it came to food. My mother went to so much trouble to feed us. But whenever we had stew or casserole for dinner I would simply refuse to eat it. Terrible scenes ensued. If I had not managed to swallow any of the ghastly stuff by midnight my father rubbed my face in it and I was sent to bed in disgrace. And I would invariably turn up my nose at the sandwiches in my school lunch.
I was also starting to question my mother's wisdom generally. As I was to discover, a mother's wisdom is not to be sneezed at
One morning in the winter of 1953, my mother was preparing me for school. The wireless was on. Jo Stafford singing
Look round the corner ooh ee
Look round the berry tree
Look round the corner look round the bush
Looking for Henry Lee.
The wireless was always on. My parents listened to serious programs like 'Voice of the Voyager' and funny programs like The Bunkhouse Show ( brought to you by Bonnington's Irish Moss ) and 'Dad and Dave'. After school I listened religiously to The Argonauts on the ABC and a host of serials on 3AW: Hop Harrigan, Captain Silver, Tarzan, Biggles, Superman, and Dick Tracey.
My mother kept the wireless on all day as she did the housework. Moving round the house with the Hoover and listening to the pop songs of the era. I got to know all the tunes: "There's a Pawn Shop on a Corner in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania", "How Much is that Doggie in the Window?", "She Wears Red Feathers and a Hula Hula Skirt", "Walking my Baby back Home", "Wonderful Wonderful Copenhagen", "I Love Paris".
Kenny, my mother said, sounding even more stern and authoritative than usual. I don't want you to take your footy cards to school.
But Mummy. I have to swap with Ron Peck. Ron Peck's got twenty cards he wants to swap. Yesterday I told him I'd bring mine to school.
You are very silly if you do, Kenny. I bet you lose them.
I betcha I don't lose them, I said.
This was a morning after yet another fight over food. I had been up to midnight with my face in the stew. More emotional anguish lay in store. Whenever I threw my squashy tomato and vegemite sandwiches in the school rubbish bin, I would feel so horribly guilty afterwards.
Not nearly so guilty as I was to feel about my footy cards. I should have listened to my mother but all I could think about was Ron Peck's swaps.
Are you going to eat your sandwiches today?
Yes Mummy.
Are you going to bring home your footy cards?
Yes Mummy.
Put them in this paper bag, she said.
Footy cards were a new obsession. I had moved on from my train set, my Meccano set, and my Dinky cars. Even my toy koala, beloved 'Wo Wo', lay discarded. Comics did not last long either. We were bombarded by comics. My first heroes were all American fantasies: Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Pluto, Superman, Plastic Man, and The Phantom. The Argus newspaper had Brick Bradford, Ginger Meggs, Raddish, Rip Kirby, Chesty Bond, Garth, Joe Palooka, and Julia Jones. All of these were superceded by the real heroes I discovered with my breakfast cereal.
In the very early fifties, my father would occasionally take the tram to Hawthorn, and then walk to the Glenferrie Oval, to see the hapless local VFL team - Hawthorn - receive another thumping. Hawthorn lost every match in 1950. Sometime in 1951 or 1952 my father began taking me to some of the Hawthorn home games. He remarked that the Glenferrie ground was like a sardine tin.
There were several ways of getting into the ground. The most exciting way was to come through the turnstiles in the tunnel under the railway line on the southern side of the ground. You then had to sit in the elevated but narrow little outer along the rail line and put up with the trains clacketty-clacking past you every half an hour. Or you could come in from Glenferrie Road and stand in the outer section behind the goals at the eastern end. This was great. You saw a lot of the play when Hawthorn were defending the outer goal.
I loved hearing the crisp cracking sound made when Len Crane, the Hawthorn full back, kicked off. A big booming drop-kick every time, to a far-off pack on the wing. My father would point out some of the players to me. At a match between Hawthorn and Carlton, he pointed to one and said That's Chooka Howell. On another occasion, Hawthorn were playing Fitzroy at Glenferrie. This time we were sitting on the railway wing. Pointing to 1950 Brownlow Medallist Ruthven, my father exclaimed That's the Baron!.
But I never really got very close to those VFL footballers. The Camberwell footballers were different. They played just down the end of our street. In 1946, as I was crawling around on the floor at 40 Bellett Street, Camberwell came within a whisker of winning its first VFA ( Association ) premiership – pipped in the electric last moments of one of the VFA's all-time classic grand-finals by a fast-finishing, super-fit Sandringham outfit.
During the 1930's, Camberwell had paid out a fortune to procure some of the biggest-ever names in Australian Rules Football to play at the club: Harry and Albert Collier; Roy Cazaly and Laurie Nash.
The club entered the fifties still with a string of champions – Frank Stubbs, Cec Ruddell, Ted Jarrard and Jimmy Bohan – but its fortunes – on and off the field - had begun to decline. From down the bottom of Nelson Road you could clearly see the top of the Camberwell Grandstand in Camberwell Road. On Saturday afternoons, at least before VFA crowds began to dwindle somewhat in the mid-fifties, you could hear the roar coming over the tops of the houses from Bowen Street, and, if Camberwell had won, you would very likely encounter a rowdy, exultant group striding along Bellett Street singing the praises of the long-kicking Bohan.
These were the days when the VFA was still sufficiently important to warrant its own breakfast-cereal cards and newspaper badges. The Argus had produced little tin badges of Camberwell players Cec Ruddell and Frank Stubbs. Kornies had produced swap cards of Camberwell stalwarts Sharples, McIvor, Bohan, Stubbs and Rochford. I made no distinction at all between the VFL and the VFA. For a while I even picked out Oakleigh as my favourite team because they had the most striking colours.
The school day began just like any other school day. As usual, like the proper little WASP I was, I kept well away from Our Lady of Victories in Reserve Road. (You assiduously avoided the catholic kids with the strange dark skin). Everyone stood to attention and saluted the flag. We all marched into class with the big bass drum booming in our ears. We warmed our hands on the bar heaters at the back of the room and put our schoolbags on the floor. We drank our little bottle of milk and put 2/6d in our bank books.
At morning playtime Hobson and I, for maybe the one-hundredth time, pushed and wrestled with one another and finished up forming a disheveled heap on the asphalt. Further in the playground, a group of bloodthirsty little monsters, not for the first time, harried and bullied poor Michael Herman. ''Herman the German'' they chanted mindlessly.
In those days, fear played a big part in school discipline. Headmaster Mr Taylor had a very thick strap but his terror paled beside Miss Mulhall. Miss Mulhall was our Grade Two teacher. The most obvious thing about her was that she had no arms. More accurately, her arms finished at the elbow. She wrote on the blackboard with her stumps and she threw chalk with her stumps. Whenever a piece of chalk went whizzing past your ear, you knew that Miss Mulhall had spotted you talking to someone. With thirty-nine children in the class, it was important to instill fear. Most of the boys drew Spitfires and Messerschmitts behind the teachers back. Or Cowboys and Indians. Ray Sutton, Ron Peck and I drew footballers.
We had just finished listening to an ABC 'School of the Air' broadcast beamed out of the loudspeaker in the corner of the classroom. Miss Mulhall had turned to the blackboard. Ray Sutton, Ron Peck and I had our footy cards out straight away. Suddenly, all hell broke loose. Bruce Brain had somehow knocked over his ink well. We all jumped out of our seats. Nib pens and blotting paper flew. Footy cards went everywhere.
I expected Miss Mulhall to race to the spot and confiscate them. (Later, I wished she had). Instead she screamed at me:
Kenneth Mansell! Put those little pieces of paper in your schoolbag!.
I scurried about under the desks, under all the legs, picking up the cards under the great big heavy legs of Bruce Peake and Darrell Shakes, under the skinny legs of Robert Wilson, under the middle-sized legs of Roger Lee, 'Bombhead' Watkins, Terry Sargent, Bruce Taylor, Terence Manson and Douglas Mudie…and under the dresses of Helen Vaughan, Gail Thornton, Sandra Baguley and Susan Wakefield.
I put the cards very carefully back in my school bag - into the paper bag my mother had provided.
The lunchtime bell rang. I contemplated another hungry and guilty afternoon. 'Squashy bananas again' I muttered. Reaching into the schoolbag for my Mother's carefully-prepared brown paper bag, I tossed - what I was certain were bananas - into the rubbish tin.
And then the long, guilty walk home.
My mother was waiting at the front door:
Did you eat your lunch today Kenny?
Yes, of course I did Mummy
What about your footy cards? Still got 'em?
Of course I have Mummy! In my school-bag here.
Oh dear! Only a few seconds passed before the awful truth was revealed.
Yes Mummy?
You didn't eat your lunch! Your sandwiches are still here!
Today I live far from Camberwell, but over the years my love of football, first sparked in that suburb, has never faded. When I look at the old Camberwell cards and the team photos from the 1950's, the memories of school lunches and the roar of the crowd are never far away.

The irony is never lost on me when I am engaged in a conversation with a person in recovery who, between deep puffs of a cigarette or long sips of their sugar-filled cup of coffee, believes that the use of medications such as Methadone, Suboxone or Vivitrol excludes a person from being able to identify as being in recovery. If you're smoking a pack of cigarettes a day or consuming caffeine like it's your day job but claiming that a person using prescribed medication as part of their treatment for substance use disorder "isn't clean", your stance is problematic at best, hypocritical at worst.
Caffeine and nicotine are both stimulants. They are both addictive, mind and mood-altering substances. In fact, smoking is the number one cause of preventable death in this country. So to be using these drugs while stigmatizing, ostracizing and alienating individuals who are utilizing prescribed, evidence-based medication as part of their recovery journey is both foolish and harmful.
There are many pathways to recovery and many definitions of what that means for a given individual. While for some, certain medications may have been misused in the past or the use of them is not a strategy we would choose for ourselves, that does not mean we should impose our beliefs on others. And while for some, choosing to use the most harmful drug in the United States is not something we believe excludes us from identifying as "clean" or in recovery, we all ought to allow each and every individual to identify for themselves what recovery means for them. With drug overdoses being the number one accidental cause of death in this country, the time is now to be more inclusive and welcoming than ever.

Yang Sok-il
Yang Sok-il (b. 1936, surname Yang) is a second-generation Korean-Japanese novelist. He first drew major acclaim in the 1980s with semi-autobiographical tales of a taxi driver from the gritty underbelly of Tokyo. He followed this in the 1990s with award-winning period pieces set in the lawless 'Apache territory' Osaka – including his best-selling Blood and Bone (Chi to Hone). A champion of the oppressed and alienated everywhere, Yang's fictionalized exposé Children of the Dark (Yami no Kodomotachi), about child prostitution in Thailand, was also made into a major film.
