Wow, the fashion police are out in force today! If women can wear what used to be male styles (trousers, jeans, peacoats, blazers, overalls, you name it, we wear it), why on earth are men required to stick to some (very temporary and local) notion of what is "masculine"? Do they have to dress like undertakers or garage mechanics to be acceptable? Do they even have to be "masculine" at all? Is there some law about it that I don't know? I have never yet seen a comment on a women's pattern protesting that it's "too bloke-ish"!

I think its hilarious that most of the men on here love the coat, but the women think its far to girly.
I absolutly adore it and my husband's going to pick out his fabric soon so I can make it for him.

Love the styling, not sure I'm brave enough to go with the tartan LOL! Will probably use a dark grey wool or a Worsted if my skills are up to it!

As an urban minded young man, I appreciate the historic significance of this piece, and love the modern version. This is fantastic! Perhaps they should make it available for larger-built men, but with time comes expansion. For me, I'll make this in a heavy camel wool; how sharp would that be? Again, Kudos burdaStyle for another creation that's hard to find in a pattern for men. This is fantastic!

I think this is a lovely coat. I could actually see it shorter, more of a hip length, and be used instead of a blazer or dinner jacket. I could also see it in something more like a light gray cashmere kind of blend… Can't wait to try this out for my son. He hasn't got a great coat, and this would be wonderful.

After looking at the different photos for this jacket many more times than a sane person probably would, I've now worked out that there are two models here, one for the outdoors photos and one for the indoors photos. Phew.
As for the jacket, the more I look at it, the more I like it. I'm thinking it would look nice with a bit more embellishment at the back though, a centre pleat (or slit? Or is it a little too short for that?) to give it more movement, or even one of those bands (sorry, I'm sure there's a proper name for them, I hope someone knows what I'm talking about) that are across the backs of jackets sometimes, to give it a bit more definition at the waist perhaps. It would look terrific as a longer trench coat; I'm just visualising it with more flow. The front looks very tailored and English school boy-come-scientist to me, which I like a lot, but the back looks more lumberjack (I'm not really thinking girly tartan thoughts here, ha) so I just think alterations to create a bit more detail on the back to match the refined look of the front would work very nicely.

Geez… think outside of the box people! I think this coat is fantastic. Lets not be afraid of bold fabric or different collars! My husband would proudly sport this.
Feb 11, 2009, 06.26 PMby kittilia
it does look quite girly… i don't think it's the fabric, I think it's the sillhouette, or maybe the collar. I like the plaid.
Feb 11, 2009, 10.45 AMby bekaem
I think it's a great pattern. I haven't downloaded the instructions, but I hope they include something about which interfacings to use to make a good coat. – Funny to see the the discussion about the fabric choice in the pictures. – I'm looking forward to see what people come up with.
Feb 11, 2009, 06.55 AMby Daniel Parker
i'm a Dude….and I LOVE this! I think im going to make it outta a thick khaki cotton and add a collar
Feb 11, 2009, 01.18 AMby diamondsdame
Husband and me think it is far too chick and feminine – plus the model is pulling the pockets about like crazy, making us think the fabric is very flimsy. Why not use the tartan for the lining?! … OR raise the pockets a little, add a lower level of buttons, then chop the pattern at the hips, made up in faux suede, it could be quite interesting….. OR use a plain fabric with darker (or the tartan) piping along the focal seaming and a long, long openended zip in place of buttons… yes, perhaps the pattern does have possibilities but no way as it is photographed, what a shame it has been so spoiled.
Feb 10, 2009, 10.47 PMby skylarkdawn
Yay for the male coat pattern! I too feel like the fabric is fit for a pansy. I think this would just be fabulous in a charcoal wool or a medium brown herringbone. A must have for my husband for next winter :)
Feb 10, 2009, 08.29 PMby clintow
Blackwatch is classic and traditional; no man should be afraid of it. Men already wear enough black and brown. However, to lengthen the lifespan of the coat, I would sooner make this with traditional overcoat details, with a normal collar and a rear center vent. It gives the pattern more room to breathe, because it's not competing for attention with that fashiony collar. If it were a black or grey fabric, that collar would speak more clearly on its own.
Also, unless your suit is way too big, that coat should fit fine over it. Men need better fitting clothes, really.
Anyway, nice pattern, I'll see what I can do with it sooner or later.
Feb 10, 2009, 07.52 PMby sew4sanity
I was so excited when I saw a man's coat pattern. Alas, it is far too fem for my man. Could we see more for the male in a bit less model-ready fashion? Thanks for the effort!
Feb 10, 2009, 02.48 PMby Diane Egelston
I think this coat is beautiful and very masculine. Thanks for this interesting design!
Feb 10, 2009, 02.47 PMby troykyo
Great Construction! I would love to see how the lapel rolls when open.
Feb 10, 2009, 02.24 PMby hettyb
I like the coat. Too bad the sizes only go up to "drowned rat". How about some men's sizes for men that actually have some shoulders? Guess my husband still won't be able to have a nice coat that's actually in his size.
Feb 10, 2009, 02.15 PMby staceysews
I like it, but I'm thinking of making it for me with a few nips and tucks and with a collar. I really don't think the men in my life would find this wearable, but that's just me!
Feb 10, 2009, 02.10 PMby eclecticdreams
I too think it's funny that so many are thinking that tartans and plaid are girly. Perhaps what was once associated with mostly manly things such as kilts and lumberjacks is now more associated with cute Catholic and Japanese schoolgirls. It's long been a tradition for women to adapt men's clothing for women's fashions…but now it seems that many don't realize that everything about this coat (the cut, the double breasted buttons, etc) was originally very masculine in origin, and not originally feminine.
Feb 10, 2009, 01.54 PMby squirrellypoo
very nice collar detail! I'm loving the "mad scientist coat" vibe from the tech drawing… My man just gave it two thumbs up!
Feb 10, 2009, 01.35 PMby knitgeek
Wow. I have that coat in the same fabric.
Not sure how I like it on a guy….
Feb 10, 2009, 11.27 AMby ledthread
I find it interesting that many people find the plaid not 'manly'. Tartan is classic! It's all my dad wears, but he wears it in a flannel lumberjack sort of way, not nearly as pulled together as this coat.
Feb 10, 2009, 10.38 AMby loyl8
I love this jacket.. I cant wait till i get good enough so I can make it for my hubby. The plaid is not really my hubbys thing, but on the inside it would be awesome.
Feb 10, 2009, 10.20 AMby mynameisdavid
This coat is incredibly chic, and the pattern is a much needed relief from the greys and blacks flooding the current men's market (we like color too!). It is both militaristic and edgy, and the collar is definitely fashion forward.
Great job thinking outside the box BurdaStyle!
Feb 10, 2009, 09.20 AMby alisondahl
oooooh. i am definitely making this one for my beau- sneaky valentine's day present!

The fact is as long as the Fed keeps printing money we don't have, oil and other commodities are going to stay generally high and other geo-political factors will just make it even worse.
The best case is to have the Fed quit diluting the $ so much that will punch oil prices in the gut.
Busy counting his monies...
Soemthing else worth considering: America's oil boom will be short-lived, apparently.
The Myth of "Saudi America"
Straight talk from geologists about our new era of oil abundance.
By Raymond T. Pierrehumbert
Posted Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013, at 3:07 PM ET
Like swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano, every December some 20,000 geoscientists flock to San Francisco for the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union. Slate readers have already heard about a presentation with a particularly eye-catching title, but for me some of the most thought-provoking news came in a prestigious all-Union session with the rather dry heading "Fossil Fuel Production, Economic Growth, and Climate Change." (Search for it here.) This session dealt, in a hard-headed, geological, show-me-the-numbers way, with the claim that we are at the brink of a new era of oil and natural gas abundance.
The popularity of the abundance narrative waxes and wanes, and its current ascendance comes primarily on the heels of a report by Leonardo Maugeri, a former oil-industry chief and currently a fellow at Harvard's Belfer Center. When his cornucopian fantasy came out, I smelled a rat (or at least a not-too-deeply buried fish). But the International Energy Agency jumped on the bandwagon with breathless, and equally fishy, forecasts of the coming "Saudi America." Most of the media swallowed the story hook, line, and sinker, with even the usually sober Economist rising to the bait.
So what's wrong with this story? Maugeri's problems begin but don't end with an arithmetic blunder so dumb (he compounded a percentage decline incorrectly) it would make even Steve Levitt blush. The geeky geological stuff discussed at the AGU session is more interesting and ultimately more damning. The geological considerations expose a number of common threads of faulty reasoning that pervade the current crop of starry-eyed projections of endless oil abundance.
There are certainly huge amounts of oil locked up in shale formations worldwide. In the United States alone, the Bakken and Eagle Ford shales contain up to 700 billion barrels, and the Green River shale under Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah has a whopping 2 trillion barrels. However, only a tiny fraction of this total is recoverable. For Bakken (in Montana and North Dakota) and Eagle Ford (in Texas), which account for most of the current surge in U.S. oil production, the estimated recoverable fraction ranges from 1 to 2 percent. Though all of these deposits are loosely referred to as "shale oil," Bakken and Eagle Ford oil is more precisely called "tight oil," because it is actual, fluid oil that is trapped in the pores of shale, and it can be liberated by fracturing the rock to allow the oil to flow. In contrast, the hydrocarbon in the Green River shale is not really oil at all but a waxy substance that must be cooked at around 500 degrees Celsius to turn it into flowing oil. The technology for extracting oil from deposits like the Green River shale is far more challenging than what is required to tap into tight oil, and it has never been profitably implemented at any significant scale. There is thus no credible estimate of how much oil can be recovered from the Green River formation.
At the high end of the estimates, predicted production from Bakken and Eagle Ford together amounts to perhaps a two-year oil supply for the United States at 2011 consumption rates. That's significant but not a game-changer. Even if it were to prove possible to achieve production rates comparable to those of Saudi Arabia, that would only mean that we would deplete the resource faster and bring on an oil crash sooner.
What would it take to ramp up production to such high levels? Technological developments have made it possible to tap into tight oil, but these are not the same kinds of technological developments that have given us ever more powerful computers and cellphones at ever declining prices. Oil production technology is giving us ever more expensive oil with ever diminishing returns for the ever increasing effort that needs to be invested. According to the statistics presented by J. David Hughes at the AGU session, we are now drilling 25,000 wells per year just to bring production back to the levels of the year 2000, when we were drilling only 5,000 wells per year. Worse, the days are long gone when you could stick a pitchfork in the ground and get a gusher that would produce for years. The new wells are expensive (on the order of $10 million each in the Bakken) but give out rapidly, as shown in the following figure from Hughes' talk illustrating the typical production curve.
Tight oil is headed for a Red Queen's race, where you have to keep drilling and drilling and drilling just to keep your production in the same place. At several million dollars a pop, that adds up to a big annual investment, and eventually you run out of places to put new wells. The following figure, also from Hughes' talk, shows that if you try to increase production by drilling wells faster, you just wind up running out of oil sooner.
Current total U.S. oil production is about 6 million barrels per day. By way of comparison, Saudi production is currently running at 9.5 million barrels per day. To exceed Saudi production, new oil from tight-oil sources would have to more than offset declining production from existing wells. It is clear that even if we do manage somehow to temporarily exceed Saudi production rates, the party is not going to last very long.
High oil prices may make it profitable to recover more oil from unconventional deposits, but ultimately physics rules. In his talk at the AGU session, Charles A.S. Hall pointed out that the energy return on investment—the amount of energy you get out of a well vs. the energy needed to produce the oil—has been getting steadily worse over time. As long as there is some net energy gain and some profit to be made, drilling may go ahead, but the benefits to the energy supply deteriorate at the same time as the collateral damage to climate (in the form of increased carbon dioxide emissions per barrel of oil produced) goes up.
The market is not laying the foundations for an era of unending oil-based prosperity. The market is pushing inexorably toward investment in expensive technologies to extract the last drop of profit through faster depletion of a resource that's guaranteed to run out. If we're going to invest in expensive energy technologies, it would be better to pick long-term winners rather than guaranteed losers.
The flaws in the abundance narrative for fracked natural gas are much the same as for tight oil, so I won't belabor the point. Certainly, the current natural gas glut has played a welcome role in the reduced growth rate of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, and the climate benefits of switching from coal to natural gas are abundantly clear. But gas, too, is in a Red Queen's race, and it can't be counted on to last out the next few decades, let alone the century of abundance predicted by some boosters. Temporarily cheap and abundant gas buys us some respite—which we should be using to put decarbonized energy systems in place. It will only do us good if we use this transitional period wisely. We won't be much better off in the long run if cheap gas only succeeds in killing off the nascent renewables industry and the development of next-generation nuclear power.
Does all the new American oil give us yet another way to fry ourselves? At 0.1159 metric tons of carbon per barrel of oil, the oil in Bakken and Eagle Ford amounts to a carbon pool of 81 gigatons, and the Green River shale adds up to 232 gigatons. Given that burning an additional 500 gigatons of fossil fuel carbon is sufficient to commit the Earth to a practically irreversible warming of 2 degrees Celsius, these are scary numbers. However, if oil analysts such as those speaking at the American Geophysical Union are right, almost all of this oil will remain inaccessible. In that case, coal—which certainly contains enough carbon to bring us to the danger level and probably much beyond—remains the clear and present threat to the climate, and the fight to leave as much coal as possible in the ground remains the front line in the battle to protect the climate. This does not mean the threat posed by the carbon pool in unconventional oil can be completely ignored. The case against oil abundance seems persuasive, but I'd hate to bet the planet against the ingenuity of future oil engineers, which is why I feel that some rearguard actions that inhibit development of unconventional oil are warranted, notably in the case of the Keystone XL pipeline, which taps into Canada's Athabasca oil sands.
False hopes for an unending age of oil abundance provide an excuse to put off the hard decisions we need to make in order to smooth the road to a sustainable energy future. If oil cornucopians like Leonardo Maugeri are wrong, then the end of oil and gas is not many decades off (a few would say this is true for coal as well), and so even without bringing climate change into the picture, it is necessary to begin planning for new energy sources. Economists offer up a rosy picture in which gradually rising prices call into being some combination of increased production and resource substitution, but the resource depletion endgame does not always work this way. The story of Wisconsin white pine timber depletion, recounted in William Cronan's book Nature's Metropolis, should give us pause:
The boom in U.S. oil drilling hasnt lowered gas prices
Posted by Brad Plumer
on February 11, 2013 at 10:58 am
Last year, the world pumped more oil out of the ground than ever before in history. In the first nine months of 2012, the world produced an average of 88.8 million barrels per day, about 2 million more barrels per day than in 2010. Nearly half of that increase came from new drilling in the United States.
Yet oil and gasoline prices remain at elevated levels. Brent crude is still trading for around $120 per barrel, higher than it was two years ago. Here in the United States, pump prices averaged $3.59 per gallon in early February, a record for the usually calm winter months. Again, thats all despite the recent boom in tight-oil drilling in places such as North Dakota and Texas.
So why is that? The big thing to remember is that oil prices are a function of both supply and demand. If world demand for oil rises faster than producers can pump the stuff out, prices will go up. And thats what is happening now. As James Hamilton of UC San Diego explains, China alone has consumed about half of the extra oil thats been drilled since 2010:
Granted, oil prices would almost certainly be even higher than they are now without the drilling boom over the past two years in places like North Dakota. But at this point, the extra drilling is struggling to keep up with the pace of global economic growth.
Most forecasters expect that to be the case for years to come. The International Energy Agency recently projected that U.S. oil production would continue rising through 2020 and beyond, as companies extract more unconventional oil from shale rock and other sources. But global demand was also expected to rise 35 percent between now and 2035, with China on pace to become the largest oil consumer in the world in the next two decades.
Further reading:
James Hamilton has much more detail on why gasoline isnt cheap. In particular, he notes that much of the rise in global petroleum supplies has come in the form of natural gas liquids, which have been a boon to the petrochemical industry but not much use to drivers.

Gas prices are on a mysterious climb
By Steven Mufson
Feb 20, 2013 01:45 AM EST
The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline has jumped 45 cents in the past 31 days, according to AAA, the fastest run-up since 2005.
Retail gasoline prices have climbed for 33 days in a row. A month ago, a gallon of regular gasoline cost $3.30; on Tuesday it stood at $3.75 nationwide.
Gasoline prices have risen to within a nickel of $4 a gallon in the District as pump prices nationwide have been marching higher — the result of refinery closures and maintenance, lower oil production by Saudi Arabia, market anxiety about tensions in Iran and Iraq, and guarded optimism about the prospects for economic recovery in the United States, Europe and China.
The prices in the District are among the highest in the country, outstripped only by New York, Connecticut, California and Hawaii.
"This is the most expensive we've seen gasoline in the dead of winter," which is usually a time of relatively low consumption, said John Townsend, a spokesman for AAA Mid-Atlantic. Noting that the increase comes just as the payroll tax cut has expired, Townsend said that "this is a double whammy for many consumers, especially on the East Coast, because many people there use home heating oil. . . . People got that shock to the system and now a shock at the gas pumps."
The price increases have been a rude reminder that even though the United States' reliance on imported oil is less than it has been in nearly two decades, prices at service stations are still tied to global prices and subject to global market trends, as well as to regional refinery constraints.
In the District, gasoline prices inched up to $3.95 a gallon Tuesday, up from $3.57 a month ago and $3.77 a year ago. In Maryland, gasoline stood at $3.74 a gallon, up from $3.39 a month ago and $3.62 a year ago. In Virginia, it registered $3.65 on Tuesday, up from $3.26 a month ago and $3.54 a year earlier.
Analysts differed widely on the causes of the increase.
The price of crude oil, which makes up about two-thirds of the price of gasoline, remains extremely high by historical standards. The price of a barrel of the benchmark West Texas Intermediate grade of crude oil for March delivery climbed 80 cents to settle at $96.66 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London markets, the price is about $20 a barrel higher.
One factor is lower crude oil output from members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Saudi Arabia is producing about 700,000 fewer barrels a day than a year ago, according to the International Energy Agency.
Yet global inventories of oil are ample, and the IEA has forecast that increases in oil supplies around the world — including the United States, Kazakhstan, southern Iraq and Africa — will outstrip increases in oil demand.
"Oil prices are inflated by concern about potential oil supply disruption. All I have to do is watch TV for five minutes," said Fadel Gheit, an oil analyst with Oppenheimer. He pointed to continuing tension between the United States, Israel and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program; the ongoing civil war in Syria; and factional violence in such oil-exporting nations as Libya and Iraq.
Greg Priddy, an oil analyst with the Eurasia Group, said prices appeared to be higher than supply-and-demand fundamentals would justify. "There is a growing tension between market fundamentals" and the risks that traders and investors are willing to take, he said.
"The markets are breathing a sigh of relief about tail risks like euro zone, the fiscal cliff and sequestration," he said, referring to the recent U.S. budget brinkmanship. "There has also been some positive economic data in places like China."
But some analysts also pointed to refinery issues. Several refineries have been shut down for routine maintenance, and in the eastern United States, several refineries simply went out of business in the past year.
"Atlantic Basin capacity closures have improved refining fundamentals," the nation's biggest refiner, Valero, said in a slide presentation at a Credit Suisse conference this month. It estimated that refineries have closed nearly 1 million barrels a day of capacity on the East Coast or in the U.S. Virgin Islands in the past two years, which Valero said allowed it to increase profit margins.
Oil and a bunch of other commodities got slammed down today. Bloomberg was reporting that there was a hedge getting blown up.
Should provide some near term relief.

You must have a high school diploma, GED, or an equivalent, including Home Schooling, in order to receive financial aid. Do not leave this question blank.
Question 26 on the FAFSA is as follows:
When you begin college what will be your high school completion status? Which of the following did you complete?:
- High School Diploma. This means you have received or will receive a high school diploma before the date of your initial enrollment in college.
- General Educational Development (GED). This means you have received or will receive a GED diploma before the first date of your enrollment in college.
- Home Schooled. This means you have completed home schooling at the secondary level regulated by your state.
- None of the above. This means you do NOT have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent and did not complete secondary school in a home school setting.
IMPORTANT: When Will You Start College?
It is important that you answer this question thinking about when you will start college, NOT your status when you are filling out the form. So, for example, a current high school senior who will graduate in June and enroll at Davenport for the coming fall semester would answer question 26 as "1," having a high school diploma. This means that you will have graduated from high school before you enrolled at Davenport.
Do not leave this question blank! Even if you have been out of high school for awhile and are ready to go to college, you need to answer this question.
How do you know if you need to answer the question? You can check it yourself by logging in to your FAFSA on the Web. Check question 26.
In addition, Davenport's Financial Aid Office is sending an e-mail or letter to students letting them know if they need to make the correction.
If you want to check how you answered FAFSA question 26, go to http://www.fafsa.gov/. Click on "View and Print Your Student Aid Report" under Step 3 to view your responses to the entire FAFSA. If you did not answer question 26 correctly, you can make a correction using the same web site: www.fafsa.gov.

|High School:
|Park-Tudor School
Specializing in the breaststroke, Colin lettered all four of his years at Park Tudor School in Indianapolis and was captain his senior year. He was a four-year winner of his high-school MVP award. His performance in the classroom and in the 100 breaststroke earned him Academic All-America and Academic All-State distinctions. Additionally, Colin was also a two-time Scholastic All-American. Furthermore, he graduated holding five school records, two on relays, three in individual events. Swimming for Washington Township Swim Club, Colin is the Central Zone record holder in the 100 breaststroke.

Colin's most memorable Yale experience was last year's Patriot Invitational, where Yale crushed Duke in the final relay to win both the relay and the meet. Colin decided on Yale because of the great academics and tight-knit group of guys that embodies the experience of being a Yale swimmer.

The southern Agora, between the North Agora and the Theater, was developed as a secondary public square between the 1st and mid 2nd century AD. The earliest building in the South Agora was its north portico, dedicated to the emperor Tiberius (AD 14-37). The frieze of this portico was carved with a chain of garlands hanging from carved masks depicting a variety of Greek theatrical characters. The west and south sides of the South Agora were later also enclosed by colonnaded porticos. Behind these lay important civic buildings: the Hadrianic Baths on the west and the Civil Basilica (a large public hall) and Theatre on the south. Direct access from the South Agora to the theatre was provided by a covered passageway still visible in the massive retaining wall in the southeast corner of the area. The east side of the South Agora was closed off by a tall columnar façade, richly decorated with statues. The most remarkable feature of the South Agora was along ornamental pool, which runs down the center of the area. The east and west ends of this pool were revealed in excavations in the 1980s, while the middle portion remains unexcavated.

Photo gallery>>>Baker at District 1-1A track and field meet.
Scott took first place in the 1,600-meter run and the 3,200 as the Baker boys finished in third place with 105.5 behind Pensacola Christian, with 161.5 points, and Jay, with 136.5 points.
Baker also had first-place finishes from Eileen Brown in the girls shot put, Stephen Shaw in the boys triple jump and Dylan Wadsworth in the boys 300-meter hurdles.
The Gators received a big blow when sprinter Izayaih Thomas, undefeated in the boys 100- and 200-meter dashes, pulled a hamstring in the 100-meter dash.
Gator coach David Oglesby praised his athletes� efforts.
�I think all of them performed the best they can,� he said. �I was real proud of them. Everybody came out and, I think, had their A game.
�They ran the best they could. The success is a tribute to all of these kids. They come to practice and they work hard.�
Baker�s track team has been in a rebuilding year of sorts this season after Morgan Jones, state champion in the girls discus, and Ivory Smith, boys 400-meter champion, graduated last spring.
�We had some kids step up this year that decided they wanted to run,� Oglesby said. �We had to revamp it, but last year we were second and second at district as well, and then we went to regionals and finished second at regionals.
�We are placing number one in a lot of these races. And then the first-place team here doesn�t necessarily have the best first-place athletes because you are scoring all the way to eighth (place for team standings). So when you go to regionals (because only the top four from each district event can advance) it�s a different game.�
The following is a list of Gators who finished in the top four in their events. They will compete in Region 1-1A meet Thursday at Bishop Snyder High School in Jacksonville.

The Beavers led almost the entire game, shooting 59 percent from the field in the first half that resulted in a 31-24 lead. MIT scored the first five points of the second frame to close the gap to a pair, but that was as close as the Engineers would come, as Babson ensured its eighth consecutive victory over MIT dating back to the 2000-01 season. The 12-point differential at the end of the contest marked the largest spread of the evening.
CJ Enere and Phil Riffe each scored 12 points to pave the way for the Babson offense. Geoff Ponitz was 5-of-7 from the floor in adding 11 to the Beavers' totals, while Dan Elliman chipped in 10. Enere just missed recording a double-double, closing out with a game-best nine rebounds.
The Engineers were paced by Huhs, who also added a team-high six boards. Mike D'Auria was the only other Tech player to reach double digits, totaling 11 points behind 7-of-8 shooting from the foul line. Hampered by injury, Adam Gibbons finished with just eight points, but dished out four assists and collected a game-high three steals.

Whether a single room or a large house, we are very quick to understand their likes and dislikes since the early stages of the process, putting us in a position to present ideas that adjust 100% to the brief. The design process is quite lengthy, this is why we always advise to book our services with as much time as possible before the work is due to start. We design from the inside out. The focus of our work starts at how you intend to use the space. This will dictate all the design decisions and by extension builders' specs. Following a thorough brief we start planning the space. This stage is key as choosing the wrong furniture size or shape could break a scheme. At TL we produce lots of visuals to ensure that our clients can see the scheme working before they buy anything. We are able to supply CAD models for a full 360 view of the room at hand. When choosing furniture and fittings, we ensure that all materials are not only beautiful to look at, but are also fit for their purpose, saving you costly mistakes. This process is accompanied by a very detailed budget document itemizing every single feature in the scheme. We normally put the project up for tender and invite several companies to pitch for the building work. One of them will be our preferred and trusted team with whom we have an established relationship. Tailored Living has an excellent track record and we have many happy clients that will be delighted to provide references. We operate under the auspices of a BIDA contract, giving you peace of mind for the duration of the contract. We offer a non-obligation free of charge first visit.

As a skilled and accomplished screenwriter Amaru can adapt to his environment and make any situation into a humorous story. His comedic story telling can be mesmerizing at times. The screenwriter in him makes him visual but the kid and the quick wit in him makes for a good time at any club.
Amaru is the type of comedian who will the say things you didn't even know you wanted to say. The audience can be very diverse, black, white, in between. Amaru is able to connect with everyone in an attendance. It's more like listening to a friend telling you funny and relevant humorous stories about life, than simply listening to a "comedian" do "stand up". If Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor and Michael Clark Duncan decided to have a kid together, it would come out as Amaru. He's edgy without being crass, obviously loves his kids like crazy, and his smooth baritone delivery make him easy to listen to.

Checking in on… the WACPosted by rtmsf on December 26th, 2009
Sam Wasson of bleedCrimson.net and Travis Mason-Bushman of Vandal Nation are the RTC correspondents for the Western Athletic Conference.
- Louisiana Tech (11-2)
- Utah State (9-4)
- Boise State (8-4)
- Idaho (6-4)
- Nevada (7-5)
- Hawai'i (6-6)
- San Jose State (6-5)
- New Mexico State (6-6)
- Fresno State (6-7)
The WAC has picked up a little steam in the non-conference now that they have finished facing the tougher opponents and has a non-conference record of 65-42. In the past week of play it posted a 17-7 record in non-conference play. Unfortunately the league had plenty of wasted opportunities to notch RPI-boosting wins and as a result the highest rated team in the RPI is Louisiana Tech at #69 and they are the only team with a Top 100 RPI. Nevada is the next closest at #102. With most of the team wrapping up their non-conference play in the next week against weak opponents, the league as a whole is the 14th rated league according to conference RPI, much lower than they had hoped for heading into the season and even behind the Colonial Athletic, Conference USA, West Coast Conference and Horizon League and just ahead of the Mid-American and Big Sky.
Boise State (5-4)
The week's results: 12/19 W vs. Houston Baptist, 96-59, 12/21 W vs. Portland State, 69-62, 12/23 W vs. Montana State, 58-56
Upcoming games: 12/29 vs. Northwest Nazarene
Ike Okoye leads the Broncos nearly averaging a double-double with 14.1 points and 9.0 rebounds per game. La'Shard Anderson is averaging 12.1 points per game. Two other Broncos are averaging double-digits in scoring as Robert Arnold is averaging 11.0 points per game and Kurt Cunningham is averaging 10 points per game for the Broncos.
The Broncos are riding a three game winning streak and should make it four in a row before they head into league play on the road. Boise State notched wins over Houston Baptist and then took down a pair of Big Sky opponents in Portland State and Montana State. The Broncos host Northwest Nazarene on Tuesday, December 29.
Fresno State (6-7)
The week's results: 12/19 W vs. North Dakota State, 68-54, 12/21 L @ Montana, 59-56, 12/23 L @ Oregon State, 73-65
Upcoming games: 12/28 vs. Colorado State
The Bulldogs have lost two in a row to drop below .500 on the season after losses at Montana and Oregon State. The Bulldogs came up three points shy versus the Grizzlies in Missoula in a game that was tied at halftime. Fresno State led until 2:47 left in the game and trailed by one point with 41 seconds left but Montana's Anthony Johnson drained a foul-line jumper to give the Grizzlies a three point lead. Paul George scored 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the game but it was not quite enough. Against Oregon State the Bulldogs led 4-2 early on but after a 9-0 run by the Beavers, the Bulldogs trailed the rest of the game. Paul George once again led the Bulldogs scoring 15 points and grabbing nine rebounds. George is averaging 17.4 points and 8.2 rebounds per game this season. Sylvester Seay is averaging 15.6 points and 5.5 rebounds while Greg Smith is averaging 11.5 points and 6.6 points per game.
The Bulldogs wrap up non-conference play at home against Colorado State on Monday, December 28.
Hawaii (6-5)
The week's results: 12/22 W vs. College of Charleston (Diamond Head Classic), 84-71, 12/23 L vs. No. 20 UNLV (Diamond Head Classic), 77-53, 12/25 L vs. St. Mary's (Diamond Head Classic), 84-75.
Upcoming games: 12/29 vs. Northwestern State
The Warriors picked up a solid win over College of Charleston in the Diamond Head Classic but were overmatched against No. 20 UNLV falling 77-53 and St. Mary's on Christmas Day. The Warriors will close out non-conference play against Northwestern State.
Roderick Flemings is averaging 15.0 points and 6.5 rebounds for the Warriors. Petras Balocka is averaging a double-double with 10.4 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. Dwain Williams and Hiram Thompson are both averaging double-digits in scoring with Williams at 12.0 points per game and Thompson at 10.2 points per game.
Idaho (6-4)
The week's results: 12/22 L @ Portland, 82-52
Upcoming games: 12/29 vs. Lewis-Clark State (in Boise, ID)
The Vandals started the non-conference season with an impressive 94-87 win over Utah in Salt Lake City. However, they ended the non-conference season with a disastrous 30-point loss to Portland. Portland's Jared Stohl torched the Vandals for 30 points on a school-record 10 threes. Not helping the cause were the Vandals' awful free throw shooting, 12-of-29 (41.4 percent) and they hit just 2-of-11 three point attempts. Mac Hopson led the Vandals with 15 points while Marvin Jefferson pulled won eight rebounds. The Vandals have a lengthy layoff to think about their last loss before they start conference play. Idaho has a 12-day layoff before facing Hawai'i on the islands on January 3, 2010.
Louisiana Tech (11-2)
The week's results: 12/19 W vs. McNeese State, 87-81, 12/22 W vs. UT-Pan American, 79-58
Upcoming games: 12/29 @ Houston
The Bulldogs continued their impressive play with a pair of victories over McNeese State and UT-Pan American. The Bulldogs have one final non-conference test against Houston. Louisiana Tech continues to have five players averaging double-digits in scoring and are led by Kyle Gibson who is averaging 21.1 points per game. Two Bulldogs are nearly averaging double-doubles as Olu Ashaolu is averaging 11.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game and Magnum Rolle is averaging 11.7 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.
Nevada (7-5)
The week's results: 12/19 W vs. Wagner, 74-61, 12/22 L vs. BYU (Las Vegas Classic), 110-104, 12/23 W vs. Tulsa (Las Vegas Classic), 99-68
Upcoming games: 12/28 vs. Portland
The Wolf Pack lost a shootout with the BYU Cougars in the Las Vegas Classic, 110-104. The Pack led 50-46 at the half but BYU scored 64 points in the second half to erase the halftime deficit. BYU's Jimmer Fredette scored 33 points and dished out six assists and had three steals. Armon Johnson nearly matched Fredette's production for the Wolf Pack with 30 points and five assists. Luke Babbitt scored 20 points and grabbed six rebounds for the Wolf Pack as well. Nevada rebounded from the loss with a convincing 99-68 victory over Tulsa. Luke Babbitt led the way for the Wolf Pack with 24 points and 11 rebounds. Dario Hunt and Armon Johnson each chipped in 17 points as the Wolf Pack shot 56 percent (36-of-64) from the field for the game.
The Wolf Pack wrap up non-conference play against Portland on Monday, December 28.
New Mexico State (6-6)
The week's results: 12/18 W @ Pepperdine, 78-72, 12/21 W vs. Alcorn State, 97-72, 12/23 W vs. Texas Southern, 79-75
Upcoming games: 12/28 vs. Prairie View A&M
The Aggies and head coach Marvin Menzies are on a three game winning streak but the bigger news for the squad is that they received a much needed boost in depth when is was announced that junior forward Wendell McKines was declared academically eligible and cleared to play with the team the rest of the season. McKines suited up for the first time this season against Alcorn State, a 97-72 Aggie victory. McKines scored eight points, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out six assists. However, his presence was much more noticeable in the Aggies' 79-75 victory over a pesky Texas Southern squad. The Aggies played without starting center Hamidu Rahman who is averaging 12.3 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. McKines stepped up and scored 18 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out another six assists as the Aggies avoided the upset against Texas Southern.
The Aggies host one final non-conference game at home versus Prairie View A&M as they try to push their record over .500 for the first time all season.
San Jose State (6-5)
The week's results: 12/18 W @ UC-Irvine, 69-56, 12/21 L @ Northern Colorado, 93-69, 12/23 W @ Santa Clara, 74-68

Tommy Fields destroys two boards at 2012 BRIDGE OF THE GODS Kite Festvival.
Flight Time wrote:Don't suppose he cares much about the price, but we might!
But then, in order to be breaking boards all day you'd probably have to be going for the tricks he was and landing them, so I guess it all evens out.
It shouldn't cost more than a wakeboard, I'll grant you that. But in the world of kiteboarding, everyone wants a lighter board, and they want to stomp a 20 foot trick coming down without using the kite to catch themselves. You weight 200 lbs and come down on a board like that, something's gonna give, and it's either your leg or the board. Take your pick.Dustfarter wrote:That's such BS. Kiteboards mostly suck. At this point there is no good reason for a wake style kiteboard to break like that and the no good reason why it should cost more than your average wakeboard.

Made in the USA
Please see the Usage & Ingredients tab for how to use and ingredient information.
Daily Skin Care Regimen
If you have dry skin, you will need moisturizing products that nourish, so you will want to find protective and restorative products. Achieving a moisture balance with the right pH is key.
Begin with a very mild soap, possibly cream based. Since your skin is acidic, the alkaline in soap can easily disturb the delicate pH balance. Also, make sure that the soap does not contain harsh chemicals which will also remove the acid mantel and cause further dryness. Choose a toner that soothes and nourishes your skin. It should refresh with a hint of moisture—a low or no alcohol formulation is recommended to prevent over drying the skin.
A daily moisturizing routine is essential for dry skin. Begin with a serum to enhance moisture, then apply a day moisturizer. Try to use a day cream with an SPF Your evening ritual can include a serum application and a heavier moisturizer. Eye creams and serums are recommended for the delicate area around the eyes that are subject to fine lines and wrinkles.
Weekly Skin Care Routine
Use an extremely mild exfoliator in order to expose fresh skin and allow products to penetrate deeper. This will maximize the effectiveness of your skin care products. A moisture-enhancing mask that you put on and wipe off will moisturize and plump dry and dehydrated skin.
Product Recommendations:
Key Ingredients for Dry Skin:
Hyalauronic Acid, Glycerin, Lanolin, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Oil (Of Jojoba, Olive, Apricot Seed, Avocado, Grapeseed Borage, Almond, Evening Primrose), Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Honey, Shea Butter, Argan, Baobab, Manuka Honey, Green Tea (Camilla Sinsnsis), Ceramide, Glycolic Acid, Hydrolized Wheat Protein, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Cucumber
Why Moisturize?
Everyone can benefit from using a moisturizer after cleansing. The key is finding the appropriate moisturizer based on your skin type. Moisturizers seal moisture into the skin, so the effect is hydrating while also inhibiting evaporation. Many moisturizers contain active ingredients that deliver vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and skin supporting compounds to provide therapeutic benefits that sooth, protect and ultimately help delay the onset of early aging.
Eye creams are optional, but may be desirable for those with dry or aging skin as a welcome addendum to a moisturizer. Some individuals have very delicate eye areas that are more susceptible to wrinkling, dark circles and puffiness. An eye cream can help address these specific concerns with intense moisture and a high concentration of active ingredients.
How to Choose a Moisturizer
The oilier your complexion, the lighter and more liquid your moisturizer should be. Some moisturizers even have oil free ingredients that still serve to moisturize the skin without adding oil. Conversely, dry or aging skin requires a more moisturizing-nourishing preparation. Use a moisturizer labeled with your skin type or specific skin concern. If you live in a particularly harsh climate, consider wearing a more moisturizing face cream during the winter and switch to a lighter formula during warmer months.
Night creams tend to be thicker and more moisturizing than day creams. It is generally recommended to have separate moisturizers simply for the fact that you will want a day cream with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF). This will provide you with added protection from sun damage that can lead to premature aging.
Based on the amount of time you spend outside on any particular day, you might want to wear a moisturizer designed for outdoor use with a significantly higher SPF. You must also factor in how easily your skin burns and take precautions to protect your skin with a sufficient SPF. As a general rule, it is recommended that your day moisturizer should have at least 15-20 SPF, and if you spend more time outdoors, consider a moisturizer with 30+ SPF.
How to Use Moisturizer
After you wash your face and apply toner or a serum (optional), scoop out enough moisturizer to comfortably cover your face and neck area. Using your fingertips, rub it in using upward strokes, making sure to moisturize the neck, décolletage and earlobes. In order to prevent streaks, allow your moisturizer to penetrate before applying foundation.
About the Collection
During his 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, Dimitri James was disappointed to learn that very little of the money cosmetics companies spend goes into product development and perfection. Instead, the money is spent on ad campaigns, department store counter space, Park Avenue offices and fancy packaging. Frustrated by his findings, Dimitri was inspired to start changing the beauty industry for the better, launching Skinn Cosmetics in 2002.
Dimitri's focus was to create a collection of quality products that helps consumers avoid big-cost items with no results. Skinn Cosmetics has long since established itself as a revolutionary leader in skin care and cosmetics, offering treatments and color products loaded with anti-aging properties that meet the highest professional and esthetician standards. Each day, new women are discovering the line's amazing results and joining the ranks of Skinn enthusiasts across the nation.
Skinn products are not tested on animals.
About the Guest
Founder and CEO of Skinn Cosmetics, Dimitri James has been a Hollywood makeup artist, aesthetician and cosmetologist for 25 years. He's worked for some of the biggest names in beauty, and has manufactured and sold his own cosmetics for 14 years. Each product is a result of Dimitri's experience and knowledge, and is produced in his own factory for superior quality every step of the way.
Since its founding, Skinn has been dedicated to offering the best color and skin care products available. The line features cutting-edge and anti-aging properties that are free of the unnecessary fillers found in many large cosmetic brands.
"I love creating state-of-the-art products and offering them to my customers at a reasonable price, so that every woman who wants to can look her best." -Dimitri James
