Men's Formal Wear - How To Dress With Style
Still bewildered, I told my male friend B. this story years later. I
didn't understand why this Adonis chose Glow-in-the-Dark Terry over the

Looking good is all about proper coordination. There was a time when people had the idea of suits as the only form of formal dresses available for men, however times have changed, and now it's mainly the occasion itself which determines what to wear. There are many key micro attributes which play a part in how men are going to achieve a good look at any event - for example accessories, color combination and designs, which are all vital components that can have a major impact on the overall outlook.
It is generally a good idea to let the occasion itself be a guide on the type of formal dresses men should pursue wearing. It is very important that the attire goes along with the other members of the particular event or environment, the key idea being able to blend in rather than look alien.

Order a Wine Spectator
Each year, Wine Spectator editors survey the wines we've reviewed over the past 12 months and select the most exciting for our Top 100.
This annual list, which debuted in 1988, reflects significant trends, spotlights successful regions and recognizes outstanding producers. In 2009, we reviewed more than 17,000 new releases from around the world in blind tastings. More than 3,800 of these wines earned outstanding ratings (90 points or higher on our 100-point scale). We narrowed the list down based on four criteria: quality (represented by score); value (reflected by release price); availability (measured by case produced or imported); and an X-factor we call excitement. But no equation determines the final selections: These choices reflect our editors' judgment and passion about the wines we tasted.
Since 2009 was a year of economic retrenchment, we focused even more on value as we made our choices; the average price per bottle is $40, down from the past two years. Quality remains high, with an average score of 93 points, matching the previous three years, and 13 countries are represented. We hope that you enjoy this list of exciting values, emerging stars and classic wines and that our Top 100 of 2009 leads you to more deeply explore the world of wine.

The romantic adage "we go together like peanut butter and jelly" should be amended to "we go together like coffee and beer."
Though the pairing might seem unusual, the bitterness of coffee beans complements the deep-roasted flavors of darker beers like stouts, porters and lagers in a unique palate-pleasing way.
Two local businesses Palo Alto Brewing Company and Philz Coffee recognized the complementary nature of these two drinks a few years ago. They teamed up to produce Cool Beanz, a porter brewed with Philz's "Philtered Soul" medium-dark roast coffee beans.
"I'm a fan of coffee beers in general," said Palo Alto Brewing owner Kasim Syed. "I like that style. But the majority of coffee beers in the market tend to be usually really strong, high alcohol, like imperial coffee stouts, imperial coffee porter.
"It makes it hard to drink a lot of them. So I wanted to do something that was a little more sessionable," he said, using the term that refers to how drinkable a beer is and is used to describe beers with lower alcohol content that can be consumed in greater quantities.
Cool Beanz has a low alcohol by volume (ABV) of 6 percent, compared to other coffee beers that hover around 9 to 10 percent. It's also caffeinated.
"For me, it's a perfect kind of camping beer," Syed said. "You wake up in the morning and you can just crack one of these. It's really smooth, easy to drink, light roast, mostly coming from the malts a little maybe from the coffee itself because that one has a medium roast on it."
Syed, a Palo Alto native, approached Philz CEO Jacob Jaber in 2012 with the idea for a coffee-beer collaboration. Syed grew up very close to Philz's first Palo Alto location on Middlefield Road and Loma Verde Avenue.
After some discussion and tastings, of course they decided to brew with "Philtered Soul" for its hazelnut flavoring, Syed said.
The brewing process isn't any different when making a coffee beer, but the end product's flavor profile will vary depending on when the beans are added in, Syed explained.
"You can put the beer in the mash, which is the start of (the brewing process). You can put it in during the boil. What we do is we put it in during the secondary fermentation. It's kind of like cold-steeping it because we didn't want to get any of the bitterness out of the coffee that might come when it reacts with the hot water."
Though this makes for a "coffee-forward" beer, Syed said he is aiming for high "sessionability."
"If you're at the pub, you can have a couple of pints and you don't have to worry about it. Whereas a lot of the other ones ... you enjoy that flavor but you can't have more than one."
This isn't just a company line. Take it from this reporter, someone who's almost completely averse to darker beers: Cool Beanz is truly smoother and easier to drink without sacrificing any flavor than most of its porter counterparts. The coffee flavor doesn't come on too strong either, but just enough to feel like the drink is giving a two-for-one kick.
Jaber more of a beans than brews aficionado admitted he's "not even a big fan of beer," but said he enjoys Cool Beanz.
"I'm no expert by any means, but you don't need to be an expert to know if something's good or not," he said.
Bottles of Cool Beanz are sold at Mollie Stone's, Piazza's Fine Foods and Whole Foods in Palo Alto; Ava's Downtown Market & Deli and Jane's Beer Store in Mountain View and The Willows Market in Menlo Park, and it's on tap at The Rose & Crown in downtown Palo Alto.

It is also possible the shark was just a Giants fan in town getting ready to celebrate a big win
Ocean Beach — On October 28, 2012 John Suarez was surfing with an unidentified companion at South Ocean Beach, San Francisco, near the parking lot at Sloat Street. It was 8:30 AM and he had been on the water about 75 minutes. There was a light fog with an undetermined number of surfers in the area. The ocean wave faces were running 3 – 5 feet. No marine mammals were observed in the area. Suarez reported; "I saw a shark yesterday morning while surfing. I was sitting on my board waiting for a wave when I saw a dorsal fin, approximately 1.5 – 2 feet high, about 150 feet away coming straight at me from the North-North-West. I saw it for a split second, turned and started paddling for the shore, and came in. My impression was that it was a coincidence that it was coming in a direction straight at me, but I didn't want to stick around to find out. I have seen dolphins many times and I am sure this wasn't a dolphin. I found my friend nearer to shore and told him to come in too. I told a couple of other people on shore and in parking lot, but most of them went out to surf anyway. I was surfing near a rip current and had just paddled South East to get out of it, and I think that is where I spotted the shark, in or near the rip current."

History of the area
The Bo-Kaap Museum is situated in one of the oldest urban residential areas in Cape Town. The earliest development of the Bo-Kaap area, which became known as Waalendorp, was undertaken by Jan de Waal in the 1760s. The house that today incorporates the museum building is the only one built by him that retains its original form. It dates to 1768.
Although the Bo-Kaap has over centuries been home to people of various origins and religions, the area is closely associated with the Muslim community of the Cape. The ancestors of the majority of the Muslims in the Cape arrived from 1658 onwards as slaves, political exiles and convicts from East Africa and South East Asia (India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka). The first mosque at the Cape, the Auwal Mosque, was built in the neighbourhood in 1804 and is still in use, although much altered over years. By the beginning of the twentieth century roughly half the population in the area was Muslim.
The history of the Bo-Kaap reflects the political processes in South Africa under the Apartheid years. The area was declared an exclusive residential areas for Cape Muslims under the Group Areas Act of 1950 and people of other religions and ethnicity were forced to leave. At the same time, the neighbourhood is atypical. It is one of the few neighbourhoods with a predominantly working class population that continued to exist near a city centre. In the mid-twentieth century, most working class people in South Africa were moved to the periphery of the cities under the Slum Clearance Act and neighbourhood improvement programmes.
Over the years the Bo-Kaap has been known as the Malay Quarter, the Slamse Buurt or Schotcheskloof.

Powerpoint Slides on Random Interpretation
A sound and complete program analysis is provably hard. We typically pay a price for the hardness of program analysis in terms of having an incomplete (i.e. conservative) analysis, or by having algorithms that are complicated and have long running-time. It is interesting to consider if we can pay for this hardness by compromising soundness a little bit (and thus benefit by having simpler and more efficient and complete algorithms). By compromising soundness, we mean that judgements may be unsound, but with very low probability. Furthermore, we can predict and control this error probability and make it so small that for practical purposes, it does not hurt at all. We can make the error probability smaller than the probability of a hardware error in a computer, or the probability of a meteorite striking one's computer in the next microsecond. We have developed a set of randomized algorithms for program analysis, which are more efficient and precise than their deterministic counterparts. These algorithms are quite simple, however their probabilistic soundness proofs have been the challenging part. These algorithms seem to have a common theme, which we call random interpretation.
Random interpretation is similar to abstract interpretation, which is a well-known technique for program analysis. The key idea in random interpretation is to execute the code fragment on a few random inputs in a contrived manner, which includes giving random linear interpretations to the operators in the program. Both branches of a conditional are executed on each run and at joint points we perform a random affine combination of the joining states. In the branches of an equality conditional we adjust the data values on the fly to reflect the truth value of the guarding boolean expression.
We have described random interpretation schemes for the theory of linear arithmetic and for the theory of uninterpreted functions. Both these random interpretation schemes have a better computational complexity and are simpler to implement than the corresponding abstract interpretation schemes. These random interpretation schemes are intraprocedural. Recently, we have described a generic technique to extend any intraprocedural random interpretation scheme to perform an interprocedural analysis (essentially by computing random summaries of the procedures). The next step is to come up with a random interpretation scheme for the combined theory of linear arithmetic and uninterpreted function symbols. More generally, we are working on a generic strategy to combine any two random interpretation schemes.
Can we benefit by applying similar ideas to other program analysis problems and decision procedures for other theories?

Derby are close to completing a deal to sign Chris Martin, according to Rams boss Nigel Clough.
The striker finished the season on loan at Pride Park from Norwich, where his contract expires next month.
The npower Championship club have been in talks with Martin, 24, and his representatives and Clough are confident of adding the player to the squad on a permanent basis.
"We are close to securing Chris Martin," Clough told the Derby Telegraph.
"I think he has shown enough in the last two or three months to say he is going to be a good addition for us.
"Some of his link-up play with Jamie Ward and the midfield against Millwall on Saturday was very good. We have seen some good things from him."
Martin joined Derby on loan in February and made 13 league appearances for the Rams, scoring two goals.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Familial Adenomatous Polyposis: Clinical Management and Patients' Quality of Life
Gian Gaetano Delaini
Springer, May 11, 2006 - Medical - 481 pages
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) are complex diseases, which are subject to numerous medical researches. Despite increased knowledge on the pathophysiological process, many aspects remain rather unclear, especially concerning IBD. The aim of the researchers will be to prevent these disorders through early detection and intervention, thanks to genetic therapy. This book gathers current methods of treatment of these diseases and also presents the management of their complications. Authors finally intend to give a comprehensive overview of the newer therapies to bring the readers up to date.

Human urban development increasingly overlaps with animal and plant habitat, creating environments that degrade natural landscapes. But people, animals and plants all need healthy, sustainable freshwater ecosystems.
In a series of presentations at the Ecological Society of America's Annual Meeting held Aug. 2-7, ecologists offered research results that guide efforts to balance an increasingly urbanized society with the need to conserve and protect water and aquatic ecosystems.
Sewage overflows
Sewage overflows are a fact of life in urban areas, and in many cities, excess sewage water enters streams and lakes with rain runoff. Although this pollution is harmful to most organisms, mosquitoes thrive on it.
Luis Fernando Chaves, a post-doctoral researcher at Emory University, and his team discovered mosquitoes in abundance in a sewage-contaminated stream in Atlanta, but rarely in a nearby clean stream. They also found that mosquitoes were largest in streams with high levels of organic minerals – in this case, nitrogen and phosphorous – that originated from the sewage treatment plants. Likewise, in laboratory experiments, mosquitoes reared in sewage overflow were larger than those reared in clean water.
"In this food web, mosquitoes feed on microorganisms that require nitrogen and phosphorous to grow," Chaves says. "This translates into an input of food for the mosquitoes." When there's more organic matter, the microorganisms flourish, he says, and larval mosquitoes can eat like kings.
To make matter worse, it's possible that other aquatic insects that would feed on mosquito larvae are poisoned in sewage overflow water. Many aquatic insects breathe underwater through gill-like structures, so excess nitrogen and phosphorous could be toxic to them. Mosquito larvae, however, breathe air at the water's surface through a specialized siphon. Chaves says that this combination of an increase in food and a potential decline in predators could be the key to these mosquitoes' success.
Larger mosquitoes tend to result from a longer lifespan, which is dangerous because it gives mosquitoes a better chance of harboring pathogens that cause human diseases. Chaves makes the case that cities should separate their sewage overflow from their rain runoff to avoid creating ideal habitat for mosquitoes.
Lakeshore urbanization
Freshwater fish, especially stream fish, rely on terrestrial insects as a portion of their food supply. But little is known about their importance to fish in lakes, where the size and shape of a lake can determine how much its fish rely on shoreline food sources. Tessa Francis, a post-doctoral researcher at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), wanted to know if the urbanization of lakeshores affects the amount of terrestrial insects available as food to the lake's fish inhabitants. To answer her question, she analyzed fish stomach contents over the course of a year in four Pacific Northwest lakes, surveyed fish in 28 Pacific Northwest lakes and compiled published data on fish populations in lakes across North America.
At undeveloped lakes, insect outbreaks often happen in pulses, in which insects emerge over a short time period, but Francis and her team found no signs of these pulses in highly developed areas. This disparity was apparent in fish food availability: In the four lakes, terrestrial insects comprised up to 100 percent of the diet of fish in undeveloped lakes, in contrast to a maximum of 2 percent in developed lakes, a pattern that was also apparent at the regional and national scale.
Francis' research also showed that trout in developed lakes had a 50 percent lower daily intake of energy. Lower energy intake can slow growth and compromise fish reproduction, she says, which will ultimately lead to population declines. But she emphasizes that even a small amount of shoreline vegetation can serve as insect habitat.
"Our shorelines need to remain as intact as possible, with a mix of trees and shrubs," she says. "But we may not need a dense, native forest. There likely are designs that are compatible with both lakeshore development and sustaining lake food webs."
Many American cities are beginning to incorporate greenroofs into their planning ordinances because they recognize that, planting a rooftop garden can offset heat, increase city biodiversity and decrease stormwater runoff. This runoff can be problematic in cities where rainwater is funneled by streets and parking lots directly into streams, carrying with it chemicals and debris and increasing the risk of flash floods.
But the plants on greenroofs can absorb some of this water – "like a sponge being saturated," says Olyssa Starry, a graduate student at the University of Maryland at Baltimore County. Starry studied a greenroof atop a Baltimore building in comparison to a similar building without a greenroof to determine how well the roof would absorb water from frequent storms. By measuring water flowing out of building downspouts, she found that the greenroof retained from 30 to 75 percent of water from storms, compared to a negligible amount retained by the building with no greenroof.
Although her results are preliminary, Starry thinks that cities can reap benefits from making greenroofs a part of their building requirements, as cities like Toronto and Berlin have recently done. Using GIS satellite imagery, she estimated the number and area of buildings that could hold greenroofs within one watershed in the Baltimore area. If all these roofs were greened, she says, the city could save the watershed 8 million gallons of water per year, or about 10 percent of its yearly water loss.

In a nice nod to nostalgia, Microsoft has made a Bing commercial featuring the toys from the 1964 TV special 'Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer' in addition to that troubled little elf, Hermey.
While Yukon Cornelius drags the misfits on a sled, he soon pops his back. Hermey, now technologically modern, whips out a little clay-mation Windows Phone and Bings 'hot yoga'. Both hilarious and informative, the commercial is our new favorite. But that's the power of childhood memories for you.

Buffalo Check Throw
The historic Faribault Woolen Mill was built in 1865 in Faribault Minnesota on the banks of the Cannon River that once powered the Mill with its rushing current. Though the days of water-power are long gone, the river reminds the company of its roots in classic quality and old techniques still in use today. As one of the last fully integrated mills left in the U.S., their mission is the same as it always was: use the highest quality raw materials, manufacturing, and hand finishing techniques to create home textiles that are made to last.
This 100% wool fringed throw blanket was made with 2x2 twill construction, which creates a distinctive diagonal pattern and brings out the intricacies of the design. Dry clean only, Permanently moth-proofed. It is a sumptuous, neutral addition to any room of the house.

Guinea parties continue to negotiate upcoming vote
CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Political parties and negotiators in the West African nation of Guinea are meeting through the night in an effort to resolve an impasse over upcoming legislative elections.
But it appeared increasingly unlikely late Friday that the long-awaited and highly contested vote would go ahead as scheduled on Tuesday.
Observers said the ruling party was ready to accept a poll delay of a week, but the opposition is seeking to postpone the election by one month.
Said Djinnit, the United Nations special envoy to the region, announced that a technical committee had been created to try and hammer out an agreement on issues including the voter list.
So far the U.N. has mediated more than a dozen meetings between the two sides.
Guinea held its first democratic presidential election in 2010.

The Colorado Avalanche and Wild have returned to their identities of yesteryear.
Back when Patrick Roy was backstopping the Avs to two Stanley Cups, they were an explosive, in-your-face, intimidating juggernaut.
When the Hall of Famer became the team's rookie coach last summer, Roy said he wanted to take advantage of the team's impressive speed and skill by getting back to playing the way the Avalanche did once upon a time.
Similarly, when Hall of Fame coach Jacques Lemaire guided the Wild for seven seasons, Minnesota was one of the stingiest, most disciplined teams in the NHL. That was especially highlighted when the Wild upset Roy and Colorado in the 2003 playoffs en route to a shocking run to the Western Conference finals.
Mike Yeo has made defense the Wild's bread and butter once again. Thursday night, when first round of the playoffs open between the Avalanche and Wild, it will be a battle of the West's third-best offense vs. fourth-best defense.
"That's probably the biggest test for us," Yeo said. "The style of the two teams is not the same. Are we going to go out and control the game and play it in the manner that we want to play it or are we lured into the way they want to play the game?"
The Central Division champion Avalanche, which finished 29th in the NHL last year, became the first team since the league expanded to 21 teams in 1979 to go from the bottom three to the top three in a single season.
A giant reason is Colorado's depth up front. From dynamic 18-year-old Nathan MacKinnon, the No. 1 pick in the 2013 draft, to captain Gabriel Landeskog to two-way horse Ryan O'Reilly, the Avalanche salivate during frenetic games.
The Avalanche will try its best to cajole the Wild into that up-and-down, trade chance-for-chance game. The Wild isn't skilled or fast enough to get into a track meet. Yeo wants the Wild to avoid high-risk plays and manage the puck well.
"No turnovers," Zach Parise answered when asked the biggest key to beating Colorado. "You say that about a lot of teams, but especially these guys. They're probably one of the best transition teams. Their group of forwards, [there's] some unbelievable skill that they've got up front.
"You never want to give them any free chances, free opportunities."
Forechecking plan
The Wild must limit turnovers at both blue lines, get pucks deep and put the Avalanche's young and inexperienced defensemen in, as Parise said, "uncomfortable spots."
"When we do that, we're a pretty good team," Parise said. "When we don't do that, when we don't skate, we allow the other team to come through us pretty easily."
One line that Yeo hopes helps the Wild dictate its game is the Matt Cooke-Kyle Brodziak-Nino Niederreiter line. Not only will that trio be asked to shut down Colorado's more prolific forwards (especially when Yeo can get preferred matchups at home), it will be asked to set the tone on the forecheck.
That line has had strong games in Colorado this season.
"When we're talking about the grind of a playoff series, we want to make sure that every opportunity there is to finish a check, to make it hard on their skilled guys, on their defensemen, to let them know that we're coming, those guys are going to have to be leaders in that regard," Yeo said. "Plus, they have the ability to create and be strong in the offensive zone.
"We need them to be a tough line to play against."
Production issues
Scoring goals always is a chore for the Wild, and that was especially true in last year's playoffs when the Wild scored seven times in five games vs. eventual champion Chicago.
"Last year, we just didn't have the puck. Let's be honest. We never had the puck," Parise said. "It's tough to score when you're chasing it all game."
But Parise added, "We have more proven scorers on the roster than we did last year."
Skilled playmaker Mikael Granlund is expected to return from a head injury and make his playoff debut between veteran scorers Matt Moulson and Jason Pominville. The Parise-Mikko Koivu-Charlie Coyle line was terrific down the stretch.
The one area where the Wild has the edge is playoff experience.
Judging by Colorado's lineup in at least Tuesday's practice, seven forwards and five defensemen might make their playoff debuts Thursday night.
"Whenever you do something, the more you do it, the more comfortable you feel, just like driving your car or riding a bike," said Wild defenseman Ryan Suter, who has played 44 playoff games. "The more you do it, the better you get at it."

In an effort to reevaluate the neighborhood and bring a fresh look to the block, the Grand Street Business Improvement District (BID) is taking a new approach to rediscovering the business strip.
Last week, the Grand Street BID contracted Larisa Ortiz Associates (LOA), a commercial district advising consultant, to assess the district's commercial and business properties, meet with stakeholders and merchants, and focus on the district's customer base.
Following the study, LOA will provide the BID with a list of potential businesses to better assess future retail.
"We are excited to move ahead with our first in-depth retail market study," said Artineh Haven, executive director of the Grand Street BID. "This study will help position the BID to make a market-informed case for businesses interested in locating or expanding along Grand Street."
Since founding the Jackson Heights-based consulting firm in 2008, LOA has been involved with clients such as the City of Newark, the Ridgewood-Bushwick Senior Center Citizens Council, the City of Elizabeth, NJ, the Chinatown Partnership, and Steinway Astoria Partnership.
"BIDs have long played a powerful role in supporting economic development initiatives," said LOA principal Larisa Ortiz. "By commissioning a market study, the BID is providing valuable information that will help encourage investment by the kinds of businesses most likely to succeed.
The report should be complete by the end of September.
"We are looking forward to understanding the true market potential of Grand Street in a way that will help us improve the business mix along the street," said Fred J. Moehring, chair of the BID's board of directors. "The study will also give us the tools and information we need to present Grand Street to all interested parties in the best possible light."

The SL Installer installed a grub.cfg that included the following comment:
and yet the kernel boot line in that file was:if loadfont $font ; then
set gfxmode=1024x768
# vga= is deprecated, grub2 handles this just fine
# making grub2 res == linux fb res
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gfxterm
If "vga=" is deprecated in GRUB 2, why does the SL Installer add it in the kernel boot line? Or to put the question another way, why have the SL developers not changed the SL Installer's code or files so as to not add the "vga=791" in grub.cfg? Is there a specific reason why it has been left in?
