These are a few of my favorite things
You might not know this about me but I love musicals. I enjoy learning the music and yes, singing along. This all stems from the first musical I fell in love with which is the classic 'Sound of Music'. No childhood is complete without having seen this movie. We've all sung along to ''Doe a deer, a female deer''........right? Julie Andrews is the reason I love musicals to this day.
On the subject of favorite things, here is a list of a few of my current favorite things at random.
This 23 year old Nigerian born is currently a very serious obsession of mine. Everything from his reggae-dancehall style of music and deep voice to his versace 80's inspired style and great physique. Burna boy represents a uniqueness majorly inspired by the 80s and 90's [my favorite style era].
Here Burna shows off his packs in memory of the legendary Fela Kuti at Felabration in nigeria last year
He is undoubtedly my favorite male style icon
This hashtag is with reference to how data doesn't last long on smart phones. [Yes, I finally got a smart phone]Its ridiculous how much data we lose without even realising. No Sean you're not the only one feeling it. So please MTC Bring Back Our Data!
|The creator of my current favorite hashtag.
This cypher features some of Namibias' youngest hip hop acts. With the likes of
K'Chinga, Lioness, Skrypt, Aj and Kp Illest. This video is simple but the cypher alone blew me away especially Kp Illest at the end. All that talent in one song?
Only one person was missing in my opinion and thats Hansolo.The talented 21 year old would have added that something extra.
Don't forget to subscribe to NAM-TV
One of my favorite cyphers.
This Movie is one of my ultimate favorite fashion inspiring movies. Made in 1995 the movie is based on a rich high school girl living in Beaverly Hills. Some awesome fashion statements were made throughout the movie.
Iggy Azalea used the movie as the theme of her recent music video Fancy.
Kapana Soul Sessions
Kapana Soul sessions is an even started by Slick The dick and unfortunately only held once a month and thats where thats where I met my bestie/homeslice/partner in crime and `fellow creative......the gorgeous Bognahn. They play the best hip hop and why not they do have only the best hey play all the best hiphop and why not with awesome DJs like Loudima Dreamer and Anonymous. The last soul sessions was held at the theater school. Click here to find out where the next Kapana soul sessions will be!
Usually used for uniforms. I am currently obsessing over these colours. Not saying that I'll be sporting a complete khaki outfit anytime soon but I love adding touches of it in my daily outfits. Goes well with light colours and is easy to wear especially if your wardrobe like mine, consists mostly of browns then adding khaki/beige/tan can change an entire outfit.
This coat is an ideal basic for winter and a must have accessory. I want this so badly.
I own a hat like this.I wear it on every bad hair day
Lets not forget Khaki pants
From one fashion lover to another, remember that the small details complete your outfit and keep it simple.

Back to the 80's
What has my world come to if I am constantly finding myself unknowingly looking like I've just walk out of some 80's detective film. From the bigger hair to the mom jeans, I have no limits. Most recently I have been introducing more shoulder pads into my cupboard.
I am currently on the hunt for the right silk shirt, original Ray-Ban Wayfarers and a white pair of Penny
Loafers then its hello 21 Jumpstreet.
Here are the pictures he took of me

Now, before I continue I must implore you to listen to this producer.Haven't felt this good about music in a while and I want you to experience this sound. Maloon the Boom of Boyoom Connective.
Here is a shoot I most recently modeled and styled late 80's.The photographer Jason Nengola was fun to work with and instantly somehow made me feel extremely comfortable which is an automatic confidence boost. What he lacks in creativity he makes up for in hard work. His style is to keep his pictures as raw as possible but lets let his work speak for himself. Introducing JK Photography.
|The beautiful Lukye
Here are the pictures he took of me
This is my favorite corset, wore it before in Comfort = Confidence and again to the Namibian Annual Music Awards. An event I attended this year for the first time. I spent exactly N$300 for my entire look that night and note that I bought nothing new and spent that money only to braid my hair before I left.
For those of us that do not have all the money in the world just yet I have figured out a way to work with what you have. E S T H E R 'S C L O S E T E X C H A N G E will allow you to find some variety in an affordable way. Look out for pictures of the last closet exchange I hosted in my next post.
My message to you on this beautiful Tuesday is learn to love your closet and work with what you have.

Paying Tribute III
Today we pay tribute to the late Christopher Wallace, better known as Brooklyn born rapper The Notorious B.I.G. Best known for his legendary songs such as ''Mo money mo problems'' and ''Big Poppa'' but I personally love him , other than his music, for his style. His fashion sense had a bigger influence on hip hop culture than we realise. Although short lived, his career made a great impact on the styles of many other rappers around till this day.
These crazy prints on his shirts Biggie is spotted wearing here some time in '94 have been sported by the likes of A.S.A.P Rocky
He was one of the first rappers to start rocking bathing apes and definitely lead the way for the rest of today's rappers such as Pharrell.
Biggie wears an iconic Coogi sweater. Similar colourful sweaters have been seen on the backs of rappers like Drake.
What is Biggie without his GIANNI VERSACE VINTAGE Medusa Sunglasses. This accessory became his trademark and has most recently also become a part of the styles of so many rappers today.
This specific shirt I would personally really want to have. These shirts in the 90s represented the epitome of wealth but now stand for vintage.
The Jesus Piece or pieces. If you think the Game's 'Jesus Piece' album birthed the trend, you're wrong. Biggie inspired this trend over 20 years ago.
Once again I remind everyone that your personal style is more important than any trend but learning to fuse the two is a skill.
With love,

Classic Turned-Wood Furniture
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 12
Meet the newest in turned-wood furniture. Furnituremakers are spinning updated versions of chunky bun feet and weighty bobbin frames into shapely superstars with the latest in facelifts that include painted, whitewashed, and lacquered finishes. Known for repetitive patterns that create carved rhythms of long and short beats, turned furniture now features a variety of curves and twists -- disks stacked like rolls of quarters, ovals strung like beads of a rosary, or spirals that coil like a playground slide.
Shown here: "Westholme" walnut bar chair, $2,450; RC Byers Studio (323/653-0124), trade.
Photographs: Greg Scheidemann
Written and produced by Krissa Rossbund with Eli Becker
Beyond the animated qualities of its body, a turned piece's twisted legs or posts invite you to touch them. And the style has other design advantages as well. Even at its most traditional, turned furniture -- with its sculpted, circular patterns -- fulfills a modern aesthetic.
These curvy beauties also play fantastically with light. Unlike the flat, light-absorbing planes of most other furniture, the multiple stops and starts of turned pieces fill a room with shadows that create extra dimensions.
Shown here: "Lombardo" chair in white linen, $4,200; Ebanista (ebanista.com), trade.
"There is no reinventing the wheel in design," says Raymond Byers, designer and founder of RC Byers, a boutique furniture collection that veers in the direction of contemporary artistry. "I use classical elements as the foundation for my pieces and reinterpret from there. Turned wood is fanciful and adds a whimsical relief to stylized design."
Shown here: "Bobbin" chair with blue chenille fabric, $2,895; Dan Marty Design (danmartydesign.com).
"Turned furniture reflects a nice shadow and creates a cameo effect that a straight line does not," says Palm Beach interior designer Jack Phillips, who often incorporates turned furniture into his projects for its transitional properties. "Each piece has its own personality. It's not a straight line, but it's not a curved leg either. It breaks the hard edges of contemporary design without being too soft."
Shown here: Walnut Queen Anne 18-drawer cabinet on stand, $8,100; Althorp Collection through Theodore Alexander (althorplivinghistory.com), trade.
"Kendall" bobbin chair, $880; Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt (marthastewart.com).

"Merino" poster bed, $3,269 for queen-size; Drexel Heritage (drexelheritage.com). Bench: Mindi wood bench with leather seat and barley-twist legs, $1,754; Baker Furniture (bakerfurniture.com).
"Turner" table in white lacquer (on bench), $620; Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams (mgbwhome.com). "Mandara" weathered café table (standing), $600; and pine side table (on its side), $260; Roost (for retailers, email@example.com).

text: SDNY decision protects and clarifies investment banker compensation in bankruptcy Restructuring Alert Share this 14 MAR 2017 By: Richard A. Chesley Rachel Ehrlich Albanese Reproduced with permission from BNA's Bankruptcy Law Reporter, 29 BBLR 116, 1/26/17. Copyright 2017 by The Bureau of National Affairs, Inc. (800-372-1033) http://www.bna.com In the Relativity Media Chapter 11 case in the Southern District of New York, Bankruptcy Judge Michael E. Wiles definitively shot down challenges brought by the fee examiner Robert Keach and Relativity Secured Lender LLC (together with the reorganized debtor, "RSL") to transaction fees earned by Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. and PJT Partners. Judge Wiles opined that not only did the fee examiner not have the power he thought he had to challenge the transaction fees earned by Houlihan Lokey and PJT in accordance with their retention by the debtors under Section 328 of the Bankruptcy Code, but he also called into question the efficacy of the so-called "Blackstone Protocol," which affords Section 330 "reasonableness" review to the Office of the United States Trustee. Bench Decision Regarding Objections to Final Fee Applications of PJT Partners L.P. and Houlihan Lokey Capital Inc., In re Relativity Fashion, LLC, et al., 2016 BL 419222, No. 15-11989 (MEW) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Dec. 16, 2016) [ECF No. 2194] (Op.). On September 21, 2015, the bankruptcy court approved PJT's retention under Section 328, nunc pro tunc to the petition date. On February 2, 2016, the bankruptcy court entered an order approving Houlihan Lokey's retention under Section 328, nunc pro tunc to November 25, 2015. Both retention orders provided that "[t]he United States Trustee (...) retain[s] all rights to respond or object to (...) expenses on all grounds, including, but not limited to, reasonableness pursuant to section 330." Houlihan Lokey's order also granted this right to the official committee of unsecured creditors by agreement of the parties. At the suggestion of the plan sponsor, on April 5, 2016, Judge Wiles entered an order appointing the fee examiner, although he noted at the hearing that in doing so, he did not intend to change the standards that would govern the review and approval of any of the professionals' fees. Accordingly, the court did not "so order" the stipulation appointing the fee examiner and instead entered a separate order reiterating the foregoing caveat and declining to make the fee examiner an officer of the court. The fee examiner subsequently contacted Houlihan Lokey and PJT to request additional detail regarding their work in the Chapter 11 case. Houlihan Lokey and PJT provided the fee examiner with extensive and detailed documentation supporting their work. Nevertheless, the fee examiner filed objections to their final fee applications arguing that Houlihan Lokey and PJT should each be deprived of their entire transaction fee because they could not satisfy the "reasonableness" requirements of Section 330 by demonstrating a clear "nexus" between the work they performed and the Debtors' restructuring. (RSL objected to Houlihan Lokey's and PJT's transaction fees on the same grounds as the fee examiner. The court found that they did not have standing to bring those challenges.) After a hearing held on December 8, 2016, Judge Wiles roundly rejected the challenges to the transaction fees earned by Houlihan Lokey and PJT. In doing so, he distinguished between retention standards under Section 328 and Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, eloquently articulated the justification for treating negotiated transaction fees as an ordinary and important piece of investment bankers' compensation, and described the history - and questioned the legitimacy - of the so-called Blackstone Protocol. He also brought to bear his own observations and experiences, including his "own sense of the results that were achieved and the role of the professionals in achieving [them]." Op. at 3. First, the Court distinguished the standards that apply to Section 328 retention and Section 330 retention. Section 328 of the Bankruptcy Code is a prospective analysis in which a determination of reasonableness is made at the time of retention based upon the available information and there is no opportunity to revisit that determination unless it proves "improvident." "Reasonableness is judged in advance, and the issue is not revisited except in the very narrow circumstances permitted by the statue." Op. at 4. Section 330 retention, on the other hand, approves reasonableness, "to some extent (...) after-the-fact" and enables the court to review "all 'relevant' factors, including time spent, rates charged, whether services were necessary or beneficial at the time such services were rendered, whether the services were performed in a reasonable amount of time, and whether the compensation is reasonable based on a customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in nonbankruptcy cases. 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(3)(A-F)." Id. Citing Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corp. v. National Gypsum Co. (In re National Gypsum Co.), 123 F.3d 861 (5th Cir. 1997), Judge Wiles went on to explain that "[s]ection 328(a) reflects the view that professionals are entitled to know what they are likely to be paid for their work." Op. at 4-5. Parties retained on a flat-fee or percentage-fee basis under Section 328 should have "some comfort that the [negotiated] compensation will be paid and that a court will not simply impose a new and different deal after all the work has been done." Id. at 5. Second, the court clarified some misconceptions "regarding investment banker compensation in general, and in particular about so-called transaction fees, because there is often a lot of confusion about just what they represent." Id. Noting that "[i]nvestment bankers' main compensation is through transaction fees" both in and out of bankruptcy, the court wrote to address "a problem of labels that are loosely applied." Id. at 6. The court emphatically distinguished the cases in which a party was seeking "a discretionary fee enhancement or success fee which is equivalent to a bonus" from "cases in which ordinary transaction fees are sought. Transaction fees are part of the standard, negotiated, base compensation for the investment banker." Id. at 7 (emphasis added). Cases like In re Residential Capital, LLC and In re Northwest Airlines (which were relied upon by the objectors) "address requests for extra compensation, beyond what is provided for in the retention agreement, [and] really deal with entirely different matters." Op. at 7 (discussing In re Residential Capital, LLC. 2014 BL 32411, 504 B.R. 358, 366 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2014), and In re Northwest Airlines, 2009 BL 24155, 400 B.R. 393, 400 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2009)). In no uncertain terms, the court stated that "the transaction fee is not a bonus, and there is no reason why allowance of the transaction fee should be subject to the same standards as a request for payment of a bonus." Id. at 8 (emphasis added). The court further rejected as "wrong" the suggestion that an investment banker cannot be paid its transaction fee "unless it makes the same showing that a professional would have to make in order to receive a discretionary extra-contractual bonus." Id. Thus, "[c]ourts that consider applications for the payment of transaction fees should not be confused by the labels that people apply and should instead look at exactly what compensation is sought and the terms under which it is being sought." Id. at 8-9. The court also rejected "this same misunderstanding" in the context of attempting to calculate an investment banker's compensation based on inferred hourly rates from monthly fees alone. Id. at 9. Third, the court offered some history and commentary on the so-called Blackstone Protocol because the fee examiner relied on it heavily in his objection. Id. The Blackstone Protocol developed as a "negotiated truce" between investment banks and the Office of the U.S. Trustee for the Southern District of New York. In effect, the Blackstone Protocol "creates a hybrid situation" in which Section 330 "reasonableness" standards apply only to an objection made by the U.S. Trustee; others are bound by Section 328(a)'s "improvident" standard. Id. at 11. However, "it is not at all clear that Congress contemplated this kind of hybrid approach." Id. In Judge Wiles's view, Section 328 approval and Section 330 approval cannot co-exist, as such a scenario "would completely undermine Section 328(a)." Id. at 12. "A court cannot after-the-fact change the standards that apply to objections filed by other parties (...) Once the arrangement is approved and becomes part of the approved terms of employment, it is locked in." Id. (discussing Riker, Danzig, Scherer, Hyland & Perretti v. Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (In re Smart World Techs., LLC). 2009 BL 1076, 552 F.3d 228 (2d Cir. 2009) (emphasis added). Thus, "[e]xactly what it means for the United States Trustee to reserve rights to object under Section 330 is, frankly, not clear." Op. at 12. Turning to the fee applications at issue, the court rejected the fee examiner's view that he had succeeded to the U.S. Trustee's right to review the reasonableness of the investment bankers' fees under Section 330, which was contained in the Section 328(a) retention orders. Id. at 15. First, the court noted that it had specifically declined to so-order the stipulation among the debtors, the official committee of unsecured creditors and the United States Trustee appointing the fee examiner and had instead added a paragraph to a separate order stating that the stipulation would not change the standard of review to which the professionals previously were subject. Id. In the court's view, granting additional rights of review to parties other than the U.S. Trustee impermissibly would change the standard of review. Id. Second, it would not be fair to the investment bankers to allow the fee examiner to assume this mantle pursuant to a stipulation to which neither banker was a party. Id. at 16. In sum, under the terms of Section 328(a) and Smart World, the court believed it "had no power to give anyone else the right to assert objections based on Section 330 standards. Doing so, in effect, would have changed the retention from a Section 328(a) standard to a Section 330(a) standard, which Smart World [prohibits]." Id. The fee examiner and RSL conceded at the hearing that if the Section 328 standard applies, there would be "no issue" with Houlihan Lokey's transaction fee. Id. at 18. With respect to PJT, however, the objectors contended that even if Section 328 applies, there remained a question whether PJT had met the terms of its approved retention agreement that would entitle it to a transaction fee. Id. The court ultimately found that PJT had met the terms of its agreement and was contractually entitled to its transaction fee. Id. at 18-21. The recent Relativity decision provides important and well-reasoned clarification in the area of professional retention and compensation. It ameliorates a persistent "problem of labels," eliminates the misconception that a negotiated transaction fee is a success fee or a bonus and emphasizes that transaction fees are in fact commonplace and "standard" in investment banker compensation. Judge Wiles's position with respect to the continuing viability of the "hybrid" Blackstone Protocol is also noteworthy. It will be interesting to see this decision put into practice in the new year. NOTE: The authors successfully defended Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. in the subject litigation.

Having recently returned from a trip across the country, I've encountered lots of tantruming children and desperate parents. Though this time I went solo, I thought I would share some suggestions for making travel less torture, especially with toddlers. While it's impossible to predict any one trip, here are some dos and don'ts for your next family adventure.
Don't overpack. What is it with this notion that to travel with your kids you need eighteen carry-ons and four diaper bags? Yes, unexpected things can happen, but if you overburden yourself with baggage, you'll have less hands available for your kids. And you know what? No toy, gadget, doohickey or snack comes close to your presence for your kid.
Don't forget to check your stroller at the gate. Most flights require that you bring your stroller to the front desk for a tag, so they can stow it for you during your flight. People tend to forget this, and then there's chaos at the gate as you're boarding. By the same token, don't bring your gargantuan Maclaren; opt for a smaller, lighter model for easy carrying.
Don't freak out. It's terrifying when your kid is the one screaming on the plane and won't stop. No amount of preparation can prevent the unexpected, but a moody, defensive parent does nothing to quell your upset child's tantrum.
Hit the jump for more tips on traveling with your toddler.

The GetScreenAttr() autodoc has this line in the section that lists tags for GetScreenAttr():
SA_Quiet - (BOOL) see ShowTitle().
That gives the false impression that SA_Quiet contains the ShowTitle status. The same line appears in the SetScreenAttr() autodoc. I think that line should be replaced with:
SA_Quiet - (BOOL)
SA_ShowTitle - (BOOL) see ShowTitle()
I tested using GetScreenAttr() with the SA_ShowTitle tag and it returns the correct ShowTitle setting.

This has been sitting on my office whiteboard for a few days, where it doesn't do anybody (well, except for me and my officemates) any good. It's a canonical-forms presentation of natural deduction for polarized logic that corresponds to the focused sequent calculus I presented and analyzed in the (recently-updated) Structural focalization draft (PDF warning). The polarized sequent calculus in that draft isn't new: it's a tweaked version of Liang and Miller's authoritative LJF.1 This canonical-forms presentation, however, is not something I've seen, so I'd be interested to know if it's been seen elsewhere: I know this is an area where a lot of other people have been working.
A bidirectional type system for polarized logic
There is, in my mind at least, no argument about what the propositions of polarized intuitionstic logic are; the following is straight of the aforementioned draft, but the basic idea dates back to Girard's 1991 post to the LINEAR mailing list, creatively titled "On the sex of angles".
\( {\bf Positive~propositions:} ~~ A^+, B^+, C^+ ~~ ::= ~~ p^+ \mid {\downarrow}A^- \mid \bot \mid A^+ \vee B^+ \mid \top^+ \mid A^+ \wedge^+ B^+ \)
\( {\bf Negative~propositions:} ~~ A^-, B^-, C^- ~~ ::= ~~ p^- \mid {\uparrow}A^+ \mid A^+ \supset B^- \mid \top^- \mid A^- \wedge^- B^- \)
What makes a proposition positive or negative? Good question! I won't address it here. (I address it a bit in the draft.)
Following tradition and best practices, we will structure the canonical forms presentation as a bidirectional type system. There are three judgments to worry about, as compared to the two judgments in other canonical forms presentations of logic. These judgments include contexts \(\Gamma\), which are sets of negative variables \(x\) associated with negative propositions (\(x{:}A^-\)) and positive variables \(z\) associated with atomic positive propositions (\(z{:}p^+\)).
\( \Gamma \vdash R \Rightarrow A^- \) - this is the familiar synthesis judgment from canonical forms presentations; it expresses that the atomic term \(R\) synthesizes \(A^-\). The word "synthesis" is used because it is possible to think of the type \(A^-\) as an output to the judgment, whereas \(\Gamma\) and \(R\) are inputs. In the other two judgments, everything will be treated as an input.
\( R ::= x \mid R~V \mid \pi_1 R \mid \pi_2 R \)
\( \Gamma \vdash V \Leftarrow A^+ \) - this is the new judgment corresponding to right focus in the focused sequent calculus; we say that the value \(V\) checks against \(A^+\).
\( V ::= z \mid N \mid {\sf inl}~V \mid {\sf inr}~V \mid \langle\rangle^+ \)
\( \Gamma \vdash N \Leftarrow [\Omega] A^-\) - this is a modification of the familiar checking judgment from canonical forms presentations, which usually lack the bit about \([\Omega]\), which is an ordered list of positive propositions. The reason we need \([\Omega]\) is precisely because we're dealing with positive propositions, which most canonical forms presentations lack or deal with in an unsatisfactory (in my humble opinion) manner. (I'll return to this point in the discussion at the end.)We say that thus judgment expresses that the normal term \(N\) decomposes \(\Omega\) and verifies \(A^-\).
\( N ::= R \mid z.N \mid V \mid {\sf let}~R~{\sf in}~N \mid x.N \mid \lambda N \mid \langle\rangle^- \mid \langle N_1, N_2 \rangle^- \mid {\sf abort} \mid [ N_1, N_2 ]\)
Except for the first four rules, everything is patterned in the usual style of presentation for a natural deduction system: for each connective, we give first the introduction rules and then the elimination rules.
Hypothesis and atomic propositions\[ \infer {\Gamma \vdash R \Leftarrow []p^-} {\Gamma \vdash R \Rightarrow p'^- & p^- = p'^-} \qquad \infer {\Gamma \vdash x \Rightarrow A^-} {x{:}A^- \in \Gamma} \qquad \infer {\Gamma \vdash z \Leftarrow p^+} {z{:}p^+ \in \Gamma} \qquad \infer {\Gamma \vdash z.N \Leftarrow [p^+, \Omega] C^-} {\Gamma, z{:}p&+ \vdash N \Leftarrow [\Omega] C^-} \]

Connectives\[ \infer {\Gamma \vdash \lambda N \Leftarrow []A^+ \supset B^-} {\Gamma \vdash N \Leftarrow [A^+]B^-} \qquad \infer {\Gamma \vdash R~V \Rightarrow B^-} {\Gamma \vdash R \Rightarrow A^+ \supset B^- & \Gamma \vdash V \Leftarrow A^+} \] \[ \infer {\Gamma \vdash \langle\rangle^- \Leftarrow \top^-} {} \qquad {\it (no~elim~rule~for~\top^-)} \] \[ \infer {\Gamma \vdash \langle N_1, N_2 \rangle^- \Leftarrow A^- \wedge^- B^-} {\Gamma \vdash N_1 \Leftarrow A^- & \Gamma \vdash N_2 \Leftarrow B^-} \qquad \infer {\Gamma \vdash \pi_1 R \Rightarrow A^-} {\Gamma \vdash R \Rightarrow A^- \wedge^- B^-} \qquad \infer {\Gamma \vdash \pi_2 R \Rightarrow B^-} {\Gamma \vdash R \Rightarrow A^- \wedge^- B^-} \] \[ {\it (no~intro~rule~for~\bot)} \qquad \infer {\Gamma \vdash {\sf abort} \Leftarrow [\bot, \Omega]C^-} {} \] \[ \infer {\Gamma \vdash {\sf inl}~V \Leftarrow A^+ \vee B^+} {\Gamma \vdash V \Leftarrow A^+} \qquad \infer {\Gamma \vdash {\sf inr}~V \Leftarrow A^+ \vee B^+} {\Gamma \vdash V \Leftarrow B^+} \qquad \infer {\Gamma \vdash [N_1, N_2] \Leftarrow [A^+ \vee B^+, \Omega] C^-} {\Gamma \vdash N_1 \Leftarrow [A^+, \Omega] C^- & \Gamma \vdash N_2 \Leftarrow [B^+, \Omega] C^-} \] \[ \infer {\Gamma \vdash \langle\rangle^+ \Leftarrow \top^+} {} \qquad \infer {\Gamma \vdash \langle\rangle.N \Leftarrow [\top^+, \Omega] C^-} {\Gamma \vdash N \Leftarrow [\Omega] C^-} \] \[ \infer {\Gamma \vdash \langle V_1^+, V_2^+ \rangle \Leftarrow A^+ \wedge^+ B^+} {\Gamma \vdash V_1^+ \Leftarrow A^+ & \Gamma \vdash V_2^+ \Leftarrow B^+} \qquad \infer {\Gamma \vdash N \Leftarrow [A^+ \wedge^+ B^+, \Omega] C^-} {\Gamma \vdash N \Leftarrow [A^+, B^+, \Omega] C^-} \]
There are two possible questions I want to address about this system in the previous section.
What's with those positive "elimination" rules?
It would be possible to complain that the system above is not very "natural deduction-ey" after all - for all the positive connectives, I basically give sequent calculus left rules instead of natural deduction elimination rules. What happened to the usual "large elimination"-style elimination rules, for instance the usual disjunction-elimination rule whose proof term is a case analysis? \[ \infer {\Gamma \vdash ({\sf case}~R~{\sf of}~{\sf inl}~x \rightarrow N_1 \mid {\sf inr}~y \rightarrow N_2) \Leftarrow C} {\Gamma \vdash R \Rightarrow A \wedge B & \Gamma, x{:}A \vdash N_1 \Leftarrow C & \Gamma, y{:}B \vdash N_2 \Leftarrow C} \]
I think that the answer can be given by looking at the shifts. Essentially, every large elimination as we know and love it follows from the structure of the \({\uparrow}\) elimination rule, which all on its own looks an awful lot like a cut. You should verify for yourself that, if you let \({\sf case}~R~{\sf of}~{\sf inl}~x \Rightarrow N_1 \mid {\sf inr}~y \Rightarrow N_2\) be defined as syntactic sugar for \({\sf let}~R~{\sf in}~[ x.N_1, y.N_2]\), then the following rule is derivable whenever \(C^-~{\it stable}\) holds.2 \[ \infer {\Gamma \vdash {\sf case}~R~{\sf of}~{\sf inl}~x \Rightarrow N_1 \mid {\sf inr}~y \Rightarrow N_2 \Leftarrow C^-} {\Gamma \vdash R \Rightarrow {\uparrow}({\downarrow}A^- \vee {\downarrow}B^-) & \Gamma, x{:}A^- \vdash N_1 \Leftarrow C^- & \Gamma, y{:}B^- \vdash N_2 \Leftarrow C^-} \]
Pay attention to those two appearances of the downshift \({\downarrow}\) - they tell you something important about the structure of the usual elimination rules, which is that they "lose focus" while decomposing the disjunction. The usual way of thinking of normal natural deduction doesn't require, when you decompose \(A \vee B\) in an elimination, that you continue decomposing \(A\) and \(B\), which is represented here by the fact that, to match the structure of the usual elimination rule, you have to put downshifts \in explicitly. Jacob Howe, in his thesis and in his excellent paper "Proof search in lax logic," demonstrates this by making a focused sequent calculus that corresponds to the usual (constantly-interrupted) notion of decomposing positive propositions that you get if you follow your intuitions from natural deduction too closely.
By gathering all the large eliminations together in the \({\uparrow}\) elimination rule, we allow for the usual large eliminations to be defined, but also allow for the possibility that we might want to "chain" large eliminations in a well-defined way. (As an exercise, consider the structure of the elimination rule for \({\uparrow}(({\downarrow}A^- \wedge^+ {\downarrow}B^-) \vee (p^+ \wedge^+ \top^+))\).) This is why I claim that this is a natural deduction system that corresponds to the focused sequent calculus, instead of Howe's system where it's the other way around.3
Where are all the patterns?
Patterns have been associated with focused and/or canonical forms presentations of logic ever since... well, since Neel wrote the paper "Focusing on pattern matching"... or maybe since Noam wrote "Focusing and higher-order abstract syntax"... well, really at least since the CLF tech report. A lot of these, notably Noam's systems, have presented the rules of logic using pattern judgments, devices which abstractly represent the way in which values of a particular (positive) type are constructed or the way atomic terms of a particular (negative) type are eliminated.
There's this picture that isn't fully formed in my head, but that I've been thinking about for some time. On the left side of this picture, I think, you have the (pattern-free) presentation of natural deduction that I have given here at the top, and the (pattern-free) focused sequent calculus from "Structural focalization" at the bottom. Then, in the middle, you have (at the top) a natural deduction system that uses Noam's pattern judgments to introduce negative propositions and eliminate positive propositions - this is precisely (or at least very nearly) Taus Brock-Nannestad and Carsten Schürmann's system from "Focused Natural Deduction." Below it, there is a sequent calculus system that uses Noam's pattern judgments to eliminate negative propositions and introduce positive propositions. Kevin Watkins and Frank Pfenning came up with this idea and named it the "skeleton calculus" (a reference to the "spine calculus" of Cervesato and Pfenning), but it hasn't been written up that I know of. The skeleton calculus was what I was thinking about this morning when I decided to write this post. Then, on the far right, you have Noam's system, which is entirely pattern-based: patterns are used to both introduce and eliminate all connectives, so that the logic itself basically doesn't "know" about any connectives at all. This hazy picture is why, in the structural focalization draft, I mentioned that I thought Noam's system was a "natural synthesis of natural deduction and sequent calculus presentations".
But why should the picture look like the one I sketched above? Why not have a natural deduction system that uses patterns to introduce positives and eliminate negatives, or a sequent calculus that uses patterns to eliminate positives and introduce negatives? There's also the elephant in the room: CLF, which has both natural deduction and sequent calculus presentations, but which, in both instances, uses patterns only in the elimination of positive connectives. What are all these options doing here, and what are we to make of them? I don't know (yet).
1 I should add that, while the adaptation of LJF isn't particularly interesting, the proof term assignment I give is different than any others I've seen and I'm pretty happy with it; that's another case where I'd be interested to know if others have done anything similar.
2 This additional requirement of stability just reflects that it's always possible to restrict large eliminations in a canonical forms presentation of natural deduction to situations where the; this isn't always required in canonical forms presentations of natural deduction, but is an important part of making sure the sequent calculus presented in "Structural focalization" corresponds correctly to the natural deduction presentation.
3 I specifically suspect that this is a natural deduction system isomorphic to the focused sequent calculus from Structural focalization, but I don't want to make that claim until I've proved it.

- artificial intelligence, computer vision & machine learning

As stackoverflow changed their icon in celebration for several days when the US Supreme court unlawfully legislated to make gay marriage legal, I will in turn address the matter in my stackoverflow profile. That is the only way I can, in good conscience, continue to participate in stackoverflow.
I stand by the bible's teachings on the matter of homosexuality. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, also known as a Mormon. That means I consider homosexuality and related immorality to be a perversion. By contrast I consider marriage to be sacred. The court has no more right to redefine the family than government can change the fact that men are born with God given inalienable rights.
Men are men, and women are women, and the whole inclusion of strange alternatives and mixtures to man and woman in the professional survey is gross.
I am also a mathematician.
I quite like interesting games and enjoy playing them with those of my many wonderful children who are old enough. We will often edit what we might find to be sleazy in a game without altering the game play, which quite widens the range of games we can play while staying within what we consider to be gospel standards.

Eat, Pie, Love.
Teeny Lamothe '07 is traveling the country to find her piece of the proverbial pie.
By Gary E. Frank
Teeny Lamothe '07 talks about pie making the way artists talk about painting or sculpture; the finished work is the name of the vocation.
"I think pie is one of those things that used to be what our grandmothers and mothers did," says Lamothe, who earned a B.F.A. in acting from IC. "It's a very traditional dessert; it takes time, it takes effort to make. For me, I think pie is a way of connecting with what my grandmother and mother did, but I'm also putting my own spin on it."
Her love for pie baking has grown into a desire to make a living at it. But, recognizing right away that she knew very little about managing a small business, Lamothe embarked this fall on a "tour of pie," a journey to pie shops in several different cities to work side-by-side for a month at each stop with shop owners and learn about the business.
"I call it my 'lady bakership,' a quest to become the best pie baker I can become in order to have knowledge and understanding of small businesses and all things pie," says the Littleton, Colorado, native. Lamothe stopped in Ithaca in October, at Emmy's Organics, which is owned by her classmate Samantha Abrams '08 and her partner, Ian.
Lamothe, whose first name refers to her being born 10 weeks early, has loved pies for as long as she can remember. She even recalls the first time she ate a slice of pie, her mother's cherry pie, which she describes as having the "perfect combination of tart and sweet."
"When I was little, I had a baby rolling pin and small tins, so I would bake alongside my mother," she recalls. "My brother and I grew up loving pie. When our birthdays came around, we asked for pie instead of cake."
After graduation, Lamothe moved to Chicago to pursue work in improvisational theater, eventually becoming a member of the Dog & Pony Theatre Company while working as a nanny during the day. She liked being a nanny but says, "Ultimately I wanted a change, and so I decided to bake."
In addition to her love for pie baking, Lamothe was also inspired by Waitress, a 2007 independent film whose main character concocts unusual recipes like, "I-hate-my-husband pie . . . you take bittersweet chocolate and don't sweeten it. You make it into a pudding and drown it in caramel."
"In that movie, it's all about different weird variations on pie," says Lamothe. "Yesterday, I made a pear-ginger pie with a parmesan crust. It's a way of thinking about flavors in an entirely different way and seeing how far you can push the envelope and still make something people want to eat."
The "tour" is supported by Lamothe's own savings and fund-raising through Indie GoGo, a crowd-sourced capital website. She stays with friends in each of the cities she visits and writes a blog, Teeny Pies, about the experience.
Her tour, which began in Seattle, moved to Boston after Ithaca, and Lamothe planned to work at pie shops in Baltimore and Fairfield County, Connecticut.
Five years from now, Lamothe hopes to be running her own pie shop in Chicago, hopefully with a business partner.
"I love living in Chicago," Lamothe laughs. "I have a nice base there, and I can force all of my friends to buy my pies."

Fall is right around the corner, and for gardeners that means planting spring-flowering bulbs, such as tulips, hyacinths, and crocuses. Unfortunately, mice and voles love to munch these newly planted bulbs, often leaving bare spots in your bulb bed come spring. Although repellents may work for a while, the only sure solution is to create a barrier between your bulbs and these pests.
Placing homemade wire cages around newly planted bulbs is a good way to protect them, and a new cage system makes it even easier. The Protecta-Bulb cages are made from galvanized wire sheets that can be bent into a cage form. Simply dig a hole 3 inches deeper than the cage depth, add fertilizer mixed with soil, set the cage in place, and add the bulbs. Then fill up the cage with soil and secure the top. There are various sized cages for large and small beds.
The Protecta-Bulb cages will last for years in the soil. The bulb roots and shoots grow through the holes in the wire cage, yet the holes are too small for rodents to squeeze through. The cages come with marker tags that sit aboveground so you can find the cages when planting other flowers or when digging and dividing bulbs.
The cost per bulb of using a Protecta-Bulb cage is between 10 and 20 percent of the cost of an average bulb. That's not a large investment to insure your bulbs bloom for years.
For more information on these bulb cages, go to: Protecta-Bulb Cage.

Section of Memorial Bridge between NH and Maine bridge to be moved into place Tuesday
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) � Builders say a new, 300-foot-long span of the Memorial Bridge connecting New Hampshire and Maine will be moved into place Tuesday.
Archer Western Contractors says the bridge's new south span will be moved from the State Pier in Portsmouth and set on rebuilt piers in the Piscataqua River.
The span was built on a barge berthed at the Port Authority Pier. At about 9 a.m. Tuesday, shortly after low tide, the barge will be moved down river to a position between the piers. With the use of tugboats and a temporary jacking system, the span will be positioned and then lowered onto the new piers.
Once the span has been set in place, workers will begin to assemble the north span. It's scheduled to be placed sometime in March.

Apartment building may be in dark for Christmas
Code Enforcement orders power cut at Steeplechase Apartments
It may not be a merry Christmas for seven families in one Marion County apartment building.
The residents of the building are without power, and they're worried they may not have electricity by the holidays.
Ocala's Code Enforcement Department ordered power cut to Building 1300 at the Steeplechase Apartments because officials said it's unsafe for occupancy.
"I was afraid it was going to pop and catch fire," resident Joshua Mathis said.
The Red Cross put Trasheka Moore's family in a hotel for the night because her daughter has asthma. She's also concerned about mold in her apartment.
Seven families in seven units are without power.
Tauja Mathis said her TV burned out.
"It would be bright, then dim, then turn off to me like a possessed movie," Tauja Mathis said.
City officials said it's a problem with an electrical box that management needs to fix.
The complex manager said the rest of the residents would be put in a hotel until the box is replaced.
The Mathis family had a turkey and a ham in the freezer for Christmas and will be reimbursed for the food loss.

Former President George W. Bush took the ice bucket challenge, and is now challenging his predecessor in the White House to follow in his footsteps.
In a video posted on his Facebook page, Bush takes a soaking from his wife, former First Lady Laura Bush, and then nominates former President Bill Clinton to take the challenge.
The challenge is raging this summer on social media, as people get doused with a bucket of ice water in order to bring awareness — and raise money — to combat amyotropic lateral sclerosis, better known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease.
"Thanks to Jenna Bush Hager, Rory McIlroy, Woody Johnson, and Coach Jim Harbaugh for the #IceBucketChallenge," wrote Bush on his Facebook page.
In the video, Bush said "to you all who've challenged me, I do not think it's presidential for me to be splashed with ice water, so I'm simply going to write you a check."
Moments later, after she pours a bucket of ice water on top of her husband, the former first lady said "that check is from me. I don't want to ruin my hairstyle."
Bush then called on Clinton to get wet, saying, "Now it's my privilege to challenge my friend Bill Clinton to the ALS challenge. Yesterday was Bill's birthday and my gift to Bill is a bucket of cold water."
Bush's successor in the White House so far has decided to stay dry. President Barack Obama has declined to take the challenge, but instead has made a donation to an ALS charity, according to the White House.
Bush's chilly dunking was arranged, in part, by his daughter Jenna Bush Hager, an NBC "Today" show correspondent.

Back in 2005, after Israel removed every soldier and settler from Gaza, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced that "from this day forward, there will be no security turmoil and weapons chaos and abductions, which are not characteristic of our culture." He proved a poor prognosticator regarding Palestinian culture: given the chance to live "side by side in peace and security" with Israel, the Palestinians demonstrated they could not do so even with themselves.
Abbas was expelled from Gaza in 2007; there have been no parliamentary or presidential elections since 2006; no functioning Palestinian legislature exists; Abbas is entering the 95th month of his 48-month term; he cannot set foot in half of his purported state (in the words of Israel's UN ambassador, he cannot even see it with binoculars); he has refused to negotiate with Israel for more than four years; he demands recognition of a Palestinian state while refusing to recognize a Jewish one; and he now seeks admission to the UN as a non-member state even though "Palestine" meets none of the four requirements under international law for a state.
Under the Montevideo Convention (1933), a state "should possess the following qualifications": (1) a defined territory; (2) a government; (3) capacity to enter into relations with the other states; and (4) a permanent population.
"Palestine" lacks a "defined territory." A "defined territory" cannot include an area whose status and borders can only be defined, under longstanding international agreements, by negotiations. To have a defined territory, "Palestine" has to negotiate it with Israel; until then, its self-definition of territory is not a "defined territory" under the law; it is simply a negotiating position.
"Palestine" lacks a "government." It is ruled half by a terrorist group and half by an unelected administrative entity. Its last election occurred nearly seven years ago, and it has no capacity (much less inclination) to hold a new one. The government of each half considers the government of the other half illegitimate, and both are correct: one regime took power by a coup, and the other remains in power four years after its term expired. There is no legal governing body in either half of the purported state, much less one that governs both.
"Palestine" lacks the "capacity to enter into relations with the other states." Abbas has no capacity to bind the rulers of Gaza, nor even to implement his own commitments in the area in which he can at least set foot. While in office, he failed to implement his prior obligations, including Phase I of the Roadmap (which mandated the dismantling of Hamas and other terrorist groups), and he is currently an unelected official, unrecognized by half his putative state, with no capacity to bind "Palestine" to anything.
"Palestine" lacks a "permanent population." Most of the population considers themselves not putative citizens of a new state but perennial "refugees" — an inherited status under the unique definition applicable to Palestinians — who reject any suggestion they should form the permanent population of a new state. They consider themselves instead to be temporary residents (and UNRWA, the UN agency devoted to caring for them, is legally a "temporary" UN body) who seek to "return" to a different state, not to be permanent residents where they currently live.
When you refuse to negotiate a defined territory (and demand instead that it be conceded before you deign to "negotiate"); when you lack a government that controls your purported territory (and instead have multiple regimes each lacking legitimacy); when you lack the capacity to enter into relations with other states (and ignore the agreements you already signed); and when you have residents who reject permanent residence and assert instead a "right" to "return" to another state, you meet none of the requirements for a state.
The irony is that between 2000 and 2008, the Palestinians received three formal offers of a state, and rejected them all — the modern equivalent of the Three Nos. Now one group of Palestinians seeks UN recognition as a "non-member state," when they fail to qualify as a state at all, and they ignore the fact they could already have been a member-state three times over (or more), had they simply said yes. As Stephen J. Rosen noted last year, they have:
two incompatible presidents, two rival prime ministers, a constitution whose most central provisions are violated by both sides, no functioning legislature, no ability to hold elections, a population mostly not under its control, borders that would annex territory under the control of other powers, and no clear path to resolve any of these conflicts.
Once again, "Palestine" is all set to be a failed state, no more ready for statehood than it was a year ago. Article 10 of the Montevideo Convention provides that the "primary interests of states is the conservation of peace." The Palestinian gambit at the UN is not intended to produce peace, but to provide a platform for law-fare. It will do nothing to bring the Palestinians closer to the state they could have had long ago, if a state were really what they wanted, and it will in fact put peace further away.

Hair loss
Hair loss is also called alopecia. It occurs because the cells of the hair follicles grow rapidly, which makes them sensitive to the effects of some cancer treatments.
Chemotherapy or radiation therapy can cause hair loss. Some hormonal and biological therapies can also make the hair thinner and dry.
Hair loss is a common side effect of chemotherapy, but not all drugs cause hair loss. In most cases, hair loss is temporary. The amount of hair loss and how long it takes to grow back depends on:
- the type of drug
- the dose of drug
- length of treatment
- personal factors
Some chemotherapy drugs that can cause hair loss include:
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy can cause hair loss in the area where the radiation was given. The amount of hair loss and whether it will grow back depends on the dose of radiation given. Permanent hair loss is more common when higher doses of radiation are given. Radiation therapy to the head often causes permanent hair loss.
Symptoms of hair loss can vary depending on their cause and other factors. Hair may become thinner or it may fall out entirely. It usually falls out in clumps. Remaining hair may become dull or dry. Hair loss is not usually accompanied by any other symptoms, although some people have scalp discomfort or tenderness 1–2 days before and during hair shedding.
Hair loss can occur gradually or quite quickly. It often begins 2–3 weeks after chemotherapy or radiation therapy starts.
With radiation therapy, hair loss occurs only in the area treated with radiation. With chemotherapy, hair loss can occur on all parts of the body:
- head – the scalp may also feel tender
- face – some or all of the eyelashes and eyebrows may fall out
- body – some or all of the pubic, chest and underarm hair may fall out
Loss of facial and body hair is usually less severe because hair grows less actively in these areas than on the scalp.
Managing hair loss
Your healthcare team can suggest ways to help you manage and cope with hair loss, including the following.
Be gentle with your hair. Wash the hair on your head less frequently once it starts to fall out. Use a mild protein shampoo twice a week and massage the scalp. A protein conditioner can be used to help add body to fine or limp hair. Use a soft hair brush and a hair dryer set on low heat or let hair dry naturally. Pat the hair dry rather than rub it. Avoid curling irons, straightening irons and hot rollers. Avoid perms, hair colour, bleach, peroxide, ammonia and lacquer during treatment. These products can contain chemicals that can irritate the scalp and damage the hair. Wear a soft cloth cap at night to catch hairs as they fall out. Use a satin pillow case as it is softer and smoother than other materials.
To help make hair loss less dramatic, get a short haircut or shave your head. Use an electric shaver rather than a razor to prevent cutting your skin. A shorter haircut can also make hair look fuller and thicker. Try wearing a scarf, turban or hat if feeling sensitive about hair loss. This also helps keep the head warm. Consider buying a wig or toupee. Try to select if before your hair falls out so that it is easier to match to the hair colour and style. Check with provincial and private health insurance about coverage for wig purchases.
Protect your scalp when you go outside. Wear a wide-brimmed hat or scarf, or use sunscreen on the scalp. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyelashes.
You can use make-up when eyebrows or eyelashes thin or fall out because of treatment.
Brush and wash away hair that is falling out. Gently wash loose hair from arms, underarms and pubic areas. Men should also wash hair from the chest and face.
Hair regrowth
Hair usually grows back once treatments are completed. The time for this can vary. Many people find that their hair starts to grow back before their chemotherapy treatment is finished or very soon afterwards (usually 4–6 weeks). With radiation therapy, smaller doses usually result in temporary hair loss in the treated area. Regrowth usually starts 3–6 months after radiation therapy is completed.
Some people find that the hair that grows back is a different texture, colour and type. The new hair may be finer or coarser, lighter or darker, or straight or curly. These changes are usually temporary. It may take one year or longer before hair completely grows back and returns to its original state.
When hair regrows, it may not be as strong as it was before. Weak hair is more likely to break. Products like perms, hair dyes or chemical hair straighteners should not be used until hair returns to normal. This may take as long as 6 months or more after treatment. Chemically treating new hair is not recommended until after 3 haircuts or trims. Talk to your healthcare team about when it is okay to use these products again.
Special considerations for children
Hair loss can be very distressing because it is a very visible side effect. Younger children may not be affected as much as school-age children and teenagers. The following may help a child prepare for, and cope with, hair loss.
Understand that hair loss may be very difficult for both you and your child. Know that a child may feel differently than a parent about the hair loss.
If the child is interested, it may help to cut their hair short or choose a wig and wear it before hair loss begins. Taking these steps can help ease the transition. A wig may need some styling, trimming and other adjustments by a professional to fit and look good.
Take the child's picture with their hair as it is usually worn. If the child decides to wear a wig, the hair stylist can use the picture to help shape the wig. Keep a snippet of the child's hair to help match the colour and texture.
Offer the child a gift to decorate or comfort the body, such as a funky hat, lipstick, nail polish, body lotion or funny T-shirt. Select several scarves and hats and wear them before and after hair loss begins. Wear scarves tied in interesting styles.
Let the child's teacher know that the child will be losing hair so that the teacher can speak to the class ahead of time to minimize the reaction when the child returns to school.
Making progress in the cancer fight
The 5-year cancer survival rate has increased from 25% in the 1940s to 60% today.

Christina Aguilera singing At Last at Etta James funeral
The beloved singer Etta James past away January 20. She was one of my absolute favorite singers of all time. She was so talented and sung right into people's hearts. I laid my own grandfather to sleep last Saturday after he'd been in the hospital for a month and a half and was very ill. I loved him so much, but it was his time and he needed rest, so now he's with God watching over us. I'm so glad that I visited him often and that he's been a part of my daily life since I was little, because we lived so close. Not having a father, he was like one to me. Now I have all the memories to remember and I'm so thankful. Always remember to show and tell the ones you care for that you love them. Actions speak so much louder than words!
Christina sung Etta's At Last at her funeral. What an amazing voice this girl has. She's one of my favorites. It gave me chills all over, when I heard it.

My fave nail polish designs : Louboutin-nails, ruffian-nails and matte with shiny tip-nails
I've been trying shatters on my nails and different colors, but I must admit that I'm more of an one color gal. I love nude polishes, pinks, dark red and dark purple. I also love these Louboutin-nails. So cool and different. I also love the ruffian nail with the metallic and I think my fave is the matte vs shiny tip combo. I love the color Lincoln park after dark by OPI in matte and shiny - so me. Would you guys like me to do tutorials on these?

Cuff your hair up!
I finally got my hands on the H&M hair cuff. I know I wear a headscarf so most people don't even see my hair, but when I am at home I don't wear a scarf, so I like my hair to look cute too. I love this hair cuff - it's edgy and can be used with all kinds of outfits. I also got one from Glitter, but it's only a half-cuff. Do you like?

Kim Kardashian out in Santa Monica January 18, 2012
Kim looks stunning in this outfit. I love white and nude and Kim shows us how great it looks with navy. I'll try pairing my nudes with navy instead of black and grey. This spring and summer we'll see a lot of white again and wide-legged pants. I love the look of high-waisted wide-leg pants and a shirt. Kim also wore some nude high-waisted wide-legged pants and a bright red shirt last week - I have a similar outfit, which I'll post soon. People said to me that it looked like clowns pants when I wore it, but after seeing a similar outfit on Kim, I guess I do have style- lol.

NH senators raise concerns about post office hours in small NH town
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � New Hampshire's two U.S. senators are urging the U.S. Postal Service to hold a community meeting in a northern New Hampshire town where post office hours have been cut back to half an hour a day.
The Postal Service last month abruptly announced its post office in Sugar Hill would be open from 10:15 to 10:45 each morning. It had previously been open from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on weekdays and 10:30 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.
In a letter to a postal service official, Democrat Jeanne Shaheen and Republican Kelly Ayotte asked that a community meeting be scheduled so that residents, government officials and business owners can ask questions and offer their thoughts on the future of retail postal service in Sugar Hill.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution has signed Welsh midfielder Andy Dorman on a free transfer from England's Crystal Palace. After playing four seasons with the Revolution from 2004 through 2007, Dorman will begin his second go-around with the Revolution when he joins the club in preseason camp in January. Already a U.S. Permanent Resident, he will officially be added to the Revolution's 2013 roster upon the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate.
The Revolution originally drafted Dorman in the fourth round (56th overall) in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft and he was a key figure in the teams that advanced to three straight MLS Cup championship matches (2005, 2006, 2007). Dorman was also an anchor on the 2007 squad that won the team's first-ever cup championship – the 2007 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
"We're very pleased Andy is rejoining us," Revolution General Manager Michael Burns said. "Andy was a tremendous player and a consummate professional when he was first beginning his career. Now with his experience at a very high level in Britain, we're looking to him to provide not only an added attacking presence, but also veteran leadership on and off the field."
In his first tenure in New England, Dorman made 112 regular-season appearances, while scoring 17 goals and adding 18 assists. In 2006, his 10 assists were the third-highest total in MLS and led the team. In the three-year span from 2005 to 2007, Dorman's combined 15 goals and 17 assists ranked third on those Revolution squads in total attacking production, behind Taylor Twellman (44 goals, 15 assists) and Steve Ralston (11 goals, 25 assists).
Dorman returns to the Revs already ranked in the top 10 in several club career categories: tied for 10th in appearances (112), 10th in goals (17), ninth in assists (18), 10th in shots (135) and ninth in shots on goal (74).
"I'm really excited to be coming back to Boston," Dorman said. "It was my first professional club and a place I always look back at with great memories. I owe a lot to New England, for giving me the chance to play professional soccer and the opportunity to play in the UK.
"I spoke to (head coach) Jay (Heaps) quite a lot over the past couple of months and he was a big reason I decided to come back. I was really impressed with everything he said about the team and his plans going forward," Dorman continued.
Dorman signed with St. Mirren of the Scottish Premier League following the 2007 MLS season and made his debut on January 19, 2008, recording an assist against Motherwell. Following his arrival, Dorman scored three goals and added three assists in 18 appearances through the end of the 2007-08 season. He emerged as one of St. Mirren's top players during the 2008-09 season, making 36 appearances while scoring 10 goals and adding four assists and garnering interest from English Premier League clubs.
After St. Mirren exercised their contract option for the 2009-10 season, Dorman replied by scoring six goals and adding eight assists in 34 appearances. He moved to English Championship side Crystal Palace ahead of the 2010-11 season, making his Championship debut in a 3-2 win against Leicester City on August 7, 2010. Dorman scored one goal and added one assist in 21 appearances spanning 15 months, before moving to League Two's Bristol Rovers on loan in November 2011. After his loan to Bristol Rovers was extended through the end of the 2011-12 season, he scored two goals and added one assist in 25 appearances for the club before his contract with Crystal Palace came up in August 2012.

As I was surfing around twitter after the marathon TV event that was the Royal Wedding came to end last friday I noticed a tweet by @MicrosoftSQLCSS announcing the release of SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) v.5.0. This is free to download tool that helps you migrate from other platforms like MySQL, Oracle, Sybase and Access. I say migrate I guess if I wanted to be controversial I call it upgrading, but I won't ;-)
I haven't had a chance to download and try the new version yet but it will help you convert database in any of the above platforms to SQL Server, including Denali, or if the cloud is your thing SQL Azure.
You can find the page to download this tool here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dataaccesstechnologies/archive/2011/04/29/microsoft-releases-sql-server-migration-assistant-ssma-v-5-0.aspx?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Brazil has just announced that AECOM will design Rio de Janeiro's 2016 Olympic Village. Their plan, which looks and sounds great, also happens to have a gigantic sperm splicing the village in half. Do you see it?
The sperm head is the circular, grassy area floating on the water. The sperm tail, as you'll now never unsee, extends into the rest of the Village and is wavy and squirmy just like you'd expect. I'm not imagining things, am I? Kudos to AECOM for spicing up the Olympics. After all, they do say the Olympic Village is ground zero for orgytastic, sperm-ridding behaviour.
Ignoring the big sperm road for a second, the Olympic Park will be over 1.8 million square metres and host 15 Olympic events. AECOM's chief architect Bill Hanway says that their Olympic Village design takes care of separating athletes and audience, handles logistics for transportation and parking and hypothetically, will leave the city in good position to use the space after the Olympics. As we've seen in China, Olympic stadiums often become useless after the sportstravaganza is over.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure my juvenile self will laugh every time NBC shows Rio's village on TV. [Arch Daily]
The Olympic Village in 2030. 12 year after the Rio olympics.
