Armashield equipment very likely to be present within Rouge Tower, the city itself as well as the tower by that name. Only high profile personel will likely have access to it. The Scientist, the personal guard of the scientist and Armand Steel. The Rouge Tower elite guard regiment, The Rouge Terror, does not have Armashield shielding equipment. Rather they wear Steelcorp Mechanized Suits, which are far more dangerous. Exercise extreme caution when dealing with operatives wearing either of the armor types.Footnote:Records indicate that Carnivale bouncers will be wearing Minotaurus steel masks. These are equipped with minor Armashield shields, protecting them somewhat from all kinds of missiles. A powerful handgun would probably push through, but light machine-guns like the ancient MP5 would not.

Adaptive rowing is rowing for people with disabilities and its popularity is growing. The indoor rower can be modified to help meet the needs of adaptive athletes, making rowing accessible to a community of people with many varied gifts and abilities. Indoor rowing is a genuinely inclusive sport, and many races offer separate adaptive categories, including the World Indoor Rowing Championships hosted by the CRASH-B Sprints.
Our goal in these pages is to support adaptive rowers worldwide by sharing stories, photographs, resources and information about training and adaptive rowing. If you have materials you would like to share, please email email@example.com.

What Makes Us Secure?
We've recently had an interesting debate over whether we should change the name of "Common Security Clubs." These are small groups that build resilience by learning together, supporting one another through mutual aid, and taking social action together.
We even had a naming survey to ask people who've been involved in these local support groups what they recommend. The results were interesting.
One thing is certain: the word "security" has been co-opted by nefarious forces.
Overwhelmingly, respondents to our survey pointed out that this word conjures up images that are totally contrary to our work—security cameras, locked doors, repression, paranoia, even violence and weapons.
The question of what makes us secure in an increasingly insecure world is on many people's minds. A Washington Post editorial by environmental activist Mike Tidwell described his personal decision to brace for the future with some new, surprising steps:
Today, underneath [my house's] solar panels, there's a new set of deadbolt locks on all my doors. There's a new Honda GX390 portable power generator in my garage, ready to provide backup electricity ... I even took my first-ever lesson in firearms use.
Many readers challenged Tidwell's conclusions that a generator and a shotgun are really what's necessary. Here at the network supporting Common Security Clubs, we thought about that other word in our name, "common." "Common security" is quite different from the "you're on your own" (yo-yo) mentality that dominates most of our discourse, especially when it comes to security.
Although Mike Tidwell doesn't mention it, there may no longer be such a thing as individual security. For most of us, real security is becoming more and more a matter of being tied to a thriving community.
In fact, a few survey respondents appreciated our attempt to re-appropriate this term. "I really like putting security in the name as a move to redefine security as a shared community effort," said one respondent. Another added: "The top-of-mind answer to the question 'What makes you feel secure?' needs to change, from global military and economic dominance to vibrant communities, living wage jobs that are stable over the long run, and freedom to make informed decisions."
It's a big job to change the meaning of a word like 'security,' and an even bigger one to create new language to fill this gap. But this lack of language is a problem movements have faced before.
"One of the analogies that we discussed briefly at our circle's first meeting was that of the early 'consciousness raising' groups in the 1970's women's movement," says Debbie Mytels, a Common Security Circle facilitator in California. "We talked about 'the problem that has no name'—i.e., women's feelings of disempowerment and frustration, and how that is similar to today's unnamed feelings of economic and civic disempowerment."
Rocky Times Ahead: Are You Ready?
This isn't a future you can, or should, face alone. How to make sure you don't have to.
When women started meeting in small groups to talk about their common experiences, they ended up creating and re-appropriating words for their experiences. Debbie notes, "Out of the consciousness raising groups came the 'click' experience (an 'Ah, I get it!' moment) and phrases such as sexism and male chauvinism."
The debate about security—both the word and the concept—is far from over. We're conducting a second round of our naming survey, this time whittled down to only a few options, including Resiliency Circles, Connection Circles, Mutual Aid Circles, and Economic Security Circles.
We welcome your thoughts—click here to take the survey and here to participate in our online conversation.
One thing that's certain is that our current economy does not promote real, widespread security. Even worse, the future is likely to undermine the sources of security that are left. We need to create a new economy where a security that has nothing to do with bunkers, paranoia, or shotguns is widely shared.
Build skills, go local, and celebrate life to prepare for times ahead.
With more workers facing long-term joblessness, the unemployed are working together for change.

This is quite cool, both as a program and as a (further) consideration of the ins and outs of random number generation.
Nick Winter
On 9/29/2010 11:36 AM, William Gould, StataCorp LP wrote:
Antoine Terracol<email@example.com> writes,
some time ago, there was a discussion on Statalist about
getting a random seed for Stata's PRNG. Bill Gould suggested
that someone should write a little program to obtain (true)
random numbers from random.org
(see http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2010-08/msg00930.html)
Based on R's random package, here's a first try, for anyone interrested
I like it.
In what follows,
1. I make some minor but important fixes to Antoine's program,
and explain.
2. I improve and rename Antoine's program. The improvement
deals with making sure the command fails if random.org
someday changes their syntax or how they return results.
Everything is below. I suspect from here on out, Antoine and I should
work privately and just report the final result when we are done.
In my version of Antoine's program, I renamed the command -setrngseed-, and I
reversed Antoine's -setseed- option so that the option is now -nosetseed-
and default is to reset the random-number seed. The command has syntax
setrngseed [, nosetseed min(#) max(#)]
The options are useful for debugging -setrngseed- and are probably not
worth documenting. I suggest that when Antoine writes the documentation,
or he makes me write it, we document the syntax as simply being
Here's what happens when you type it:
. setrngseed
(contacting http://www.random.org)
(random-number seed set to 697429737)
Antoine's program, fixed
Here is Antoine's original program, updated,
program define truernd, rclass
syntax [, min(integer 1) max(integer 1000000000) setseed]
tempfile rndseed
tempname myseed
quietly copy "http://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=`min'&max=`max'&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new" "`rndseed'", replace
file open `myseed' using "`rndseed'", read text
file read `myseed' value
file close `myseed'
return scalar rndvalue=`value'
di "The value returned by www.random.org is `value'"
if "`setseed'"!="" {
set seed `value'
display "The seed was set to `value'"
return scalar seed=`value'
Warning: the line in the middle that begins -quietly copy- is a single,
long line and there are no blanks within the quioted string "http://...".
I made trhee small changes, two important and the third more a
matter of style.
1. Antoine used the temporary filename `rndseed'.txt; I use `rndseed'.
This is important. Stata assumes you use temporary file
names in the form Stata supplied them. When your program concludes,
Stata erases files with those names. When Antoine
used `rndseed'.txt, Stata still attempted to erase `rndseed'
when the program concluded, and never even attempted to erase
2. I enclose the temporary filename `rndseed' in double quotes everytime
I use it; I code "`rndseed'" rather than `rndseed'.
This is important because, on some computers, the system
directory that contains the temporary files has blanks (spaces)
in its name.
3. Antoine used -`value'- and -``value''-; I used -value- and -`value'-.
-value- in Antoine's code, and my update, is a macro. Antoine put a
temporary name in -value- and used macro `value' thereafter,
meaning the contents of `value' were ``value''. That was unnecessary;
macros are private anyway.
Here is the -setrngseed- code.
program define setrngseed, rclass
version 11
syntax [, MIN(integer 1) MAX(integer 1000000000) noSETseed]
get_random_number `min' `max'
local value "`r(result)'"
if ("`setseed'"=="") {
set seed `value'
di as txt "(random-number seed set to `value')"
else {
di as txt " random.org returns `value' (seed not set)"
return scalar seed = `value'
program get_random_number, rclass
args min max
tempfile rndseed
tempname myseed
display as txt "(contacting http://www.random.org)"
quietly copy "http://www.random.org/integers/?num=2&min=`min'&max=`max'&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new" "`rndseed'"
file open `myseed' using "`rndseed'", read text
file read `myseed' value1
file read `myseed' value2
file close `myseed'
check_integer_result `value1'
check_integer_result `value2'
if (`value1' != `value2') {
return local result `value1'
di as err "{p 0 4 2}"
di as err "random.org behaved unexpectedly{break}"
di as err "random.org returned the same random"
di as err "valiue twice, so the values are not"
di as err "random or a very unlikely event occured."
di as err "{p_end}"
exit 674
program check_integer_result
args value
capture confirm integer number `value'
if (_rc) {
di as err "{p 0 4 2}"
di as err "random.org behaved unexpectedly{break}"
di as err `"value returned was "`value'", which"'
di as err "was not an integer."
di as err "{p_end}"
exit 674
The code looks different from Antoine's, but it's not much changed.
It looks different because I made my additions by adding subroutines,
which I think makes the code more readable.
Here is what is substantively different:
1. I verify that the results returned by random.org really are
2. I ask random.org for two random numbers rather than one.
I verify that they are different.
I'm worried that random.org might someday change their syntax or what
they return. If random.org did that, Antoine's original program would
probably break, but I wanted to make sure the program broke if results
were not as expected.
By the way, I tried to make another change, but failed.
I tried changing
syntax [, MIN(integer 1) MAX(integer 1000000000) noSETseed]
syntax [, MIN(integer 1) MAX(integer 2147483647) noSETseed]
but when I did that, www.random.org reported an error. I then tried
syntax [, MIN(integer 1) MAX(integer 2000000000) noSETseed]
and random.org still reported an error. So I changed back to how
Antoine had it.
Antoine, do you know how many bits random.org bases their random number on?

What is T-TRAK?
T-TRAK modules are dioramas with sectional track, specifically Kato Unitrack, that snap together to create layouts from a simple circle to large complex layouts. The modules are designed to fit on tables but could just as easily be setup on any flat surface from the floor (yes, around the Christmas tree) to taller benchwork. Layouts are easy to assemble and even easier to disassemble for those that do not have permanent space for a layout. The convenient size of the modules make them easy to store on a shelf or in totes when not in use, or to transport should the need arise. T-TRAK is the logical next step in model railroading.
The purpose of this website is to introduce the newcomer to the T-TRAK modular railroad system and to define the standards for T-TRAK. T-TRAK has grown considerably since its inception and there have been numerous adaptations and derivations but the core standards remain popular. Please be sure to reference additional T-TRAK information available from the web sites in the Links section after viewing this site.

The Elk rider party has begun to explore a valley inhabited by ogre, kobold, and Orcs. there are signs of a large encampment. They have savaged wolf Brothers and are cursed.
These beasts hide in their caves and gloat over the power here, feeling secure in their dens, eating of each others flesh, and torturing Wolf men.
Our war party is stronger. We combat them on their own grounds and grind them out. The feeling of success in battle fills our spirits and makes the impossible possible! Our battle shouts are glorious and break the will of our enemies!…
We discovered some of the village clan folk in the caves along with a Wolf brother spirit the Orc had taken captive. The Kashwa brought honor to our clan and I have faced the Broken Wolf spirit, healing him as I was able and setting him free though he was mad almost beyond reason. Vile spirit talkers from below taunted me in my work but I heard nothing of import in their words. They used the undead to cast arrows at the weakened Wolf -brother killing him and sealing their own deaths. We have honored his spirit and released him from the world with a pyre built unchallenged within the very center of the valley. The Wolf spirits will surely aid us now and protect us from passing in the battles to come.
We healed and guided the Village clan people safely to their home and they provided generously for us in gratitude with much promised aid and hopes for our further success.
We return to the valley fortified and cleansed. We wet our appetite for battle by defeating The Chief of one of the Orc clans and his personal warriors.
My spirit hungers for the blood of my enemies and is now fortified with the rage of the wolf.

Phillies Post All-Star Break Baseball Starts on a Sour Note
If anyone was really hoping that the second half of the season was going to be a positive turning point for the Phillies, all hopes were dashed quickly after a depressing 6-2 loss to the Rockies last night. But it really only took 1 at-bat to see that things were still not going well, as lead-off hitter Jimmy Rollins popped out to start the game.
Did you know that Rollins is in 5th place in all of baseball in fly-outs (does not include line drive outs) with 115? Shane Victorino is in 7th place with 112. Hey, at least they are in the top 10 of something, right?
Here are some more not-so-fun stats: Chase Utley has played the field in 9 games this year and has committed 2 errors so far. The error last night led to an unearned run for the Rockies. He is also batting just .216. Ryan Howard, also fresh off the DL, is batting .182. These guys need more time to adjust to playing every day, but time is running out fast…
The rest of this team, however, is out of excuses. They are not hitting, playing bad defense and the pitching…well, that has been a disaster. The bullpen imploded again yesterday as rookie Michael Schwimer gave up 3 runs.
Are you as depressed about this season as I am? Not sure? Here, take this test:
We are all pretty much out of reasons for hope at this point. Now all we can do it hold our breath and wait for the other shoe to drop. That shoe may collectively include losing Victorino, Cole Hamels, and according to a recent report, maybe Placido Polanco too.
No one really knows what is in store for this team, but we can reasonable surmise, it will not be good. Continue tuning in to see the train wreck progress! Game 2 with the Rockies starts at 8:10pm tonight.

Related Product Information
Dynabeads Sheep anti-Mouse IgG in combination with primary mouse antibodies are ideal for depletion or positive isolation of cells from different species (e.g. human), depending on the specificity of the primary antibody. Cells can be directly isolated from any sample such as whole blood, bone marrow, MNC suspensions or tissue digests.
The polyclonal sheep anti-mouse IgG antibodies bind both heavy and light chains of mouse IgG1, IgG2a and IgG2b. They will also bind to light chains of mouse immunoglobulins of all isotypes (e.g. IgG3 and IgM) but with a lower reactivity.
Note: Dynabeads ClinExVivo™ Sheep anti-Mouse IgG (Cat. no. 422.01) are available for ex vivo separation of human cells for cell-based clinical research.
Principle of Isolation
The primary mouse antibody is either added to the cell sample (indirect technique) or pre-coated onto the beads (direct technique) prior to cell isolation. Dynabeads are then mixed with the cell sample in a tube. The Dynabeads will bind to the target cells during a short incubation, and then the beadbound cells are separated by a magnet.
- Positive isolation – discard the supernatant and use the bead-bound cells for downstream applications (e.g. molecular analysis or cell culture).
- Depletion – discard the bead-bound cells and use the remaining, untouched cells for any application.
Description of Materials
Dynabeads Sheep anti-Mouse IgG are uniform, superparamagnetic polystyrene beads (4.5 μm diameter) coated with polyclonal Sheep anti-Mouse IgG antibodies. The polyclonal antibodies have been affinity adsorbed to reduce cross-reactivity to human immunoglobulins. Cross-reactivity to rat antibodies is high.
Materials Supplied
5 ml Dynabeads Sheep anti-Mouse IgM
4 x 108 beads/ml in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.02% sodium azide (NaN³).
This product will process up to 2 x 109 cells
Additional Materials Required
Materials that are not included, but are needed to perform the entire protocol:
- Magnet (Dynal MPC™): See www.lifetechnologies.com/magnets-selection for magnet recommendations.
- Mixer allowing both tilting and rotation.
- Buffer 1: PBS w/0.1% BSA, pH 7.4.
- Mouse monoclonal antibodies.
Dynabeads Washing Procedure
Dynabeads should be washed before use.
- Resuspend the Dynabeads in the vial.
- Transfer the desired volume of Dynabeads to a tube.
- Add the same volume of Buffer 1, or at least 1 ml, and mix.
- Place the tube in a magnet for 1 min and discard the supernatant.
- Remove the tube from the magnet and resuspend the washed Dynabeads in the same volume of Buffer 1 a the initial volume of Dynabeads (step 2).
Sample Preparation
Cells can be directly isolated from any sample such as whole blood, bone marrow, MNC or tissue digests. Please visit www.lifetechnologies.com/cellisolation and follow our QuickLinks for recommended sample preparation procedures.
Critical Steps for Cell Isolation
Use a mixer that provides tilting and rotation of the tubes to ensure Dynabeads do not settle at the bottom of the tube.
- When incubating Dynabeads and cells, the incubation temperature must be 2 - 8°C to reduce phagocytic activity and other metabolic processes.
- Never use less than 25 μl (1 x 107) Dynabeads per ml cell sample and at least 4 Dynabeads per target cell
Table 1: Volume of Dynabeads added per ml of cell sample. The volumes can be scaled up as required.
|Positive isolation
|Sample volume (1 x 107 cells/ml*)
|1 ml
|1 ml
|Volume of Dynabeads
|25 μl
|50 μl
|Total no. of cells
processed per product
2 x 109 cells
1 x 109 cells
*If the concentration of cells is increased, the volume of Dynabeads must be increased accordingly. Cell concentration can be up to 1 x 108 cells per ml.
Cell Isolation - Indirect Technique
Labeling Cells with Mouse IgM Antibodies
Use approximately 1 μg of primary antibody (mouse IgG) per 106 target cells.
- Recommended cell concentration: 1 x 107 cells/ml.
- Add primary antibody to the cell suspension and mix.
- Incubate for 10 min at 2-8°C.
- Wash the cells by adding 2 ml Buffer 1 per 1 x 107 cells and centrifuge at 300 x g for 8 min. Discard the supernatant.
- Resuspend the cells in Buffer 1 at 1 x 107 cells per ml.
- Proceed to Isolation or Depletion of Cells
Isolation or Depletion of Cells
- Add Dynabeads to the prepared sample according to Table 1.
- Incubate for 20 min (positive isolation) or 30 min (depletion) at 2 - 8°C with gentle tilting and rotation.
- Double the volume with Buffer 1 to limit trapping of unbound cells (optional).
- Place the tube in a magnet for 2 min.
- Depletion: Transfer the supernatant containing the unbound cells to a fresh tube for further experiments.
- Positive isolation: Discard the supernatant and gently wash the bead-bound cells 4 times, using the following procedure:
- Resuspend the cells in buffer/medium for downstream application.
Cell Isolation – Direct Technique
Pre-coating Dynabeads
- Use 0.5 – 1.5 μg of primary antibody (mouse IgG) per 25 μl (1 x 107) Dynabeads. It is necessary to titrate the amount of antibody.
- Transfer washed Dynabeads to a tube.
- Add antibodies.
- Incubate for ≥ 30 minutes at 2-8°C with gentle tilting and rotation.
- Place the tube in a magnet for 1 min and discard the supernatant.
- Wash the beads twice using 2 ml of Buffer 1.
- Remove the tube from the magnet and resuspend the Dynabeads in the same volume Buffer 1 as the initial volume of Dynabeads.
Isolation or Depletion of Cells
- Add the pre-coated Dynabeads to the cells according to Table 1.
- Incubate for 20 min (positive isolation) or 30 min (depletion) at 2 - 8°C with gentle tilting and rotation.
- Double the volume with Buffer 1 to limit trapping of unbound cells (optional).
- Place the tube in a magnet for 2 min.
- Depletion: Transfer the supernatant containing the unbound cells to a fresh tube for further experiments.
- Positive isolation: Discard the supernatant and gently wash the bead-bound cells 4 times, using the following procedure:
i) Add 1 ml Buffer 1 per 1 x 107 Dynabeads.
ii) Place the tube in the magnet for 1 min and discard the supernatant.
7. Resuspend the cells in buffer/medium for downstream application.
Indirect versus Direct Technique
Use the indirect technique when:
- A cocktail of mouse monoclonal antibodies is used.
- Very high depletion efficiency is needed.
- The affinities of mouse antibodies are low.
- The cells express low number of target antigens.
- The direct technique gives unsatisfactory purity.
The direct technique may be used if:
- The affinity of the primary antibody is high.
- The cells express a high number of target antigens.
- A stock preparation of primary coated Dynabeads is desired.
Antibody selection
The choice of primary antibody is the most important factor for successful cell isolation. Note that some antibodies may show reduced antigen-binding efficiency when coated onto beads (direct technique), even though the antibody shows good results in other immunological assays.
Labeling Cells with IgM Antibodies
- Titrate the primary antibody to optimize the amount used.
- To avoid non-specific binding of cells (e.g. monocytes, B cells), add aggregated IgG to block Fc receptors prior to adding the primary antibodies.
Isolation and Depletion of Target Cells
- Remove density gradient media (e.g. Ficoll): Wash cells prior to adding mouse IgM antibodies or Dynabeads.
- Remove soluble factors in serum: Serum may contain soluble factors (e.g. antibodies or cell surface antigens), which can interfere with the cell isolation protocol. Washing the cells once may reduce this interference.
This product is stable until the expiry date stated on the label when stored unopened at 2-8°C. Store opened vials at 2-8°C and avoid bacterial contamination. Keep Dynabeads in liquid suspension during storage and all handling steps, as drying will result in reduced performance. Resuspend well before use.

Emmy Nomination Hell! 10 Plots and Subplots to Watch After Today's Big Announcements
The world awoke this morning to the chirping of little birds resembling Kristin Chenoweth and Neil Patrick Harris, perched at a podium in the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, announcing nominations for the 60th Emmy Awards. While most rolled over and tried to get back to sleep, we sat bolt upright as usual and sprinted to the window, our furious note-taking chronicling a few snubs, surprises and plenty of the conventional wisdom we've come to expect from the annual ritual.
The Academy has the full, looong slate of nominees, naturally, but we've narrowed our interests down to 10 easy storylines for our own Emmy dramedy — conveniently outlined after the jump!
1. Mad Men joined Damages as the first basic-cable programs to earn a nomination for best dramatic series. Its 15 other nods led the pack among all nominated dramas, while 30 Rock led all shows with 17 noms.
2. For the last time (literally), the Academy has snubbed The Wire for a dramatic series nomination. Critics at the TCA press tour will be symbolically immolating themselves by lunchtime.
3. In other snubs, FX is wondering this morning who it has to blow to get Denis Leary, Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver back on the list after nominations in 2007. Hint: It might be a bribe-friendly exec at AMC, which scored a kind-of-stunning two dramatic actor nods this year.
4. Silverman, Emmy Darling (Part 1): "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" was nominated for Outstanding Original Music And Lyrics. Silverman's competition is Flight of the Conchords and MADtv. As such, it bears saying aloud: " 'I'm Fucking Matt Damon' is going to win an Emmy."
5. Sarah Silverman, Emmy Darling (Part 2): Denied an actress nod for her own show, she earned a guest actress nomination for her turn as Marci Maven on Monk.
6. Amy Poehler's supporting-actress nod for Saturday Night Live is the first for an SNL actress since Gilda Radner and Jane Curtin were each nominated in 1978. Radner won.
7. There's apparently a formula for earning a few dozen Emmy noms: Just make a loooong historical epic like HBO's John Adams, which pulled in 23 mentions including outstanding miniseries — as Variety notes, the third consecutive year a period miniseries has drawn the year's biggest haul. Awards-bait film stars like Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney — both nominated as well — can't hurt either.
8. Come to think of it, film actresses on cable dominated dramatic categories in general, with four Oscar winners (including Susan Sarandon and Holly Hunter) and three Oscar nominees (Linney, Catherine Keener and Glenn Close) among the ten performers recognized. We presume Sally Field got Katherine Heigl's spot.
9. Speaking of whom, we're guessing ABC had higher hopes for Grey's Anatomy than two supporting-actress nominations and "Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup For A Series, Miniseries, Movie Or A Special."
10. If we must split up the reality and reality-competition categories, surely the Academy can find a way to further separate things like A&E's grueling Intervention from trifles like Extreme Makeover Home Edition and Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. Really.

Women are always conscious of their health and fitness. They always desire to look slim and trim. If any woman gains extra weight, she looks for a quick solution to it too, by losing the weight quickly. There are numerous ways to do so, but some of the quick weight loss tips are as follows:
TIP 1: Take low-carb diets
Carbohydrate foods are rich in the calories, but at the same time they have to be taken in low quantities. The major advantage of eating low-carbohydrate foods is that they compel you to eat less. Without keeping an eye on the amount of calories they are consuming, the weight conscious people love taking the foods with lesser carbs and few carbs. If sugars and starches are consumed in greater amount they stimulate the hunger pangs. Hence, if carbohydrates are reduced in the food the appetite is likely to decrease also.
TIP 2: Drink enough water
Water is great for metabolic activities. Adding more water to your menu will reduce the hunger pangs. Taking water in the morning is the first step to do so. Water gives a feeling of being full, thus the food intake also cuts down. The final aftermath is the loss of weight. Water is a zero calorie food ingredient. It can flush out the excess weight. An addition of lemon wedges and mint can add refreshing flavors to your drink.
TIP 3: Go for Cardio
A thirty minute session that can speed up your heartbeat will burn out your extra calories. Any such work out will help take away the extra calories from your body. Thus, it becomes a great way of staying fit and slim. Any session of cardio on a regular basis is a great help for the weight conscious ladies.
TIP 4: Add more minutes to your bedtime
Although it seems strange, but still a few more hours of a happy sleep will stimulate your metabolic rate and help you shed off your weight quickly. No matter how long you sleep, just add half an hour to your bedtime and you will feel recharged. It will add to your muscular strength, keeping you healthy and active.
TIP 5: Start enjoying the proteins
There is no blinking of the fact that proteins are a great source of energy. If you are looking for quick weight loss, then the best option is to give up the carbs and start taking the proteins in the form of meat, eggs and fish. It is a good alternative to the carbohydrate foods. It gives a feeling of fullness that keeps you away from the extra food intake. A combo of protein source, a fat source and a low-carb vegetable can be great for reducing the weight quickly.
So, if you are a health loving, lady of style, the best way to get rid of the extra weight on your body is to follow these easy tips and get a healthy lifestyle. There is no need to go for a crash diet, but instead opt for healthy lifestyle.

Transport 2050: Commission outlines ambitious plan to increase mobility and reduce emissions
The European Commission today adopted a comprehensive strategy (Transport 2050) for a competitive transport system that will increase mobility, remove major barriers in key areas and fuel growth and employment. At the same time, the proposals will dramatically reduce Europe's dependence on imported oil and cut carbon emissions in transport by 60% by 2050.
To achieve this will require a transformation in Europe's current transport system. By 2050, key goals will include:
Vice-President Siim Kallas, responsible for transport said, "Transport 2050 is a roadmap for a competitive transport sector that increases mobility and cuts emissions. We can and we must do both. The widely held belief that you need to cut mobility to fight climate change is simply not true. Competitive transport systems are vital for Europe's ability to compete in the world, for economic growth, job creation and for peoples' everyday quality of life. Curbing mobility is not an option; neither is business as usual. We can break the transport system's dependence on oil without sacrificing its efficiency and compromising mobility. It can be win–win."
The Transport 2050 roadmap to a Single European Transport Area sets out to remove major barriers and bottlenecks in many key areas across the fields of: transport infrastructure and investment, innovation and the internal market. The aim is to create a Single European Transport Area with more competition and a fully integrated transport network which links the different modes and allows for a profound shift in transport patterns for passengers and freight. To this purpose, the roadmap puts forward 40 concrete initiatives for the next decade.
The Transport 2050 roadmap sets different goals for different types of journey - within cities, between cities, and long distance.
1. For intercity travel: 50% of all medium-distance passenger and freight transport should shift off the roads and onto rail and waterborne transport.
2. For long-distance travel and intercontinental freight, air travel and ships will continue to dominate. New engines, fuels and traffic management systems will increase efficiency and reduce emissions.
3. For urban transport, a big shift to cleaner cars and cleaner fuels. 50% shift away from conventionally fuelled cars by 2030, phasing them out in cities by 2050.
European Rail Traffic Management System, Intelligent Transport Systems (for road transport), River Information Services, the EU's maritime information systems SafeSeaNet and Long Range Identification and Tracking of vessels.

Re: st: Standard Errors for Skewness & Kurtosis

Check the code; it must compute the standard errors somehow, although
it might do so under the assumption of normality. At any rate, the
standard error for kurtosis will be a function of the eighth moment of
the data, and that's a lot to ask: it may not exist, and even if it
does, it will be quite unstable unless you have a few thousand
If Stata had contour plots, you could've constructed a cute empirical
likelihood diagram for the joint confidence set of skewness and
kurtosis (I've got the basic empirical likelihood code, but I've no
clue as to how to proceed with contour plots; I know Sergiy Radyakin
did some of them, but I am not sure mere mortals can reproduce his
work in Stata graphics :)). I think you can do this in R, I vaguely
remember doing this myself.

The Poethical Wager
University of California Press, 2003 - 279 Seiten
"In this very coherent collection of essays, Retallack goes a long way toward constructing meaning out of the restlessness and anxiety that characterize postmodern art. The result is a strong affirmation of the imagination—and, in a way, an affirmation of affirmation itself. The book is powerful and beautiful."—Lyn Hejinian
"Joan Retallack is a thinker of refreshing clarity, frankness and drive, with a wily, engaged intelligence. This remarkable book of her speculative essays is at once a dynamic conceptual art work and an artistically subtle probing of concepts. Retallack has produced a witty, penetrating work that raises the stakes of poetics with her commitment to a utopian ethics of lucidity, attentiveness, responsibility, and hope."—Rachel Blau DuPlessis, author of Drafts 1-38, Toll and The Pink Guitar: Writing as Feminist Practice
"Joan Retallack shows not why but how poetry matters in these fractal provocations in, around, and through Cage, Stein, Waldrop, Wittgenstein, Winnicott, and a large supporting cast that potentially includes you. Retallack's "newsense" turns knowledge into nowledge, weaving words into thought's improbable possibilities."—Charles Bernstein, author of Republics of Reality: 1975-1995
"Joan Retallack is our supreme theoretician of poetic contingency. With great patience, profundity, and good humor, she lays out a 'poetics of the swerve,' a 'constructive preoccupation with what are unpredictable forms of change.' Whether writing about Gertrude Stein or John Cage, or feeling her way to a more adequate 'feminism'--a feminism that refuses to close off the possibilities of chance and change--Retallack 'essays' toward a 'poethics' that, in Wittgensteinian terms, 'leaves everything as it is' so as to dis-cover what it might be. "—Marjorie Perloff, author of Wittgenstein's Ladder
"Retallack has a deliciously complicated sense of the world, which combines with superb tact and an unpretentious but imposing sense that she is making a poethical wager at every moment in the writing, especially in her sense of the tension between memory and 'productive conjecture'.This is one of the most cogent and capacious rationales for experimental poetics that I have read."—Charles Altieri, author of Painterly Abstraction in Modernist American Poetry and Postmodernisms Now

NAIA Women?s Soccer Players of the Week - No. 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Bekah Garvin of Concordia (Calif.) has been named the NAIA National Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week and Kirsty Montignani of Rocky Mountain (Mont.) has been tabbed National Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Garvin and Montignani were selected based on their performances from Sept. 10 - 16 and were chosen out of a pool of conference/independent/unaffiliated groupings.
Garvin, a senior goalkeeper from Sonora, Calif., earned her third shutout of the season - 25th of her career - in Concordia's 1-0 overtime victory against then-No. 12 Cal State San Marcos. In all, Garvin made five saves over 94 minutes before the Eagle offense netted the golden-goal game-winner.
Garvin, who owns a 31-16-9 career record between the pipes for the Eagles, ranks third in the Golden State Athletic Conference in goals against average (.830), allowing only five goals in Concordia's six matches.
Montignani, a senior midfielder from Dunfermline, Scotland, posted back-to-back hat tricks in two wins last week for the Battlin' Bears. In the 6-1 victory over Great Falls (Mont.) on Sept. 14, she netted two goals in the first half before capping the effort with a score in the 80th minute. Two days later against Dakota Wesleyan (S.D.), Montignani gave Rocky Mountain the early 1-0 lead in the 30th minute before sparking a five-goal second half for the Battlin' Bears with the eventual game-winner in the 54th minute. She also scored in the 65th.
Montignani is currently the nation's leader with 13 goals, while ranking second in the NAIA in points with 28 (13 goals, two assists). She had scored three-or-more goals only twice prior to last week: three goals against Jamestown (N.D.) on Sept. 20, 2009; four goals against Southwestern (Ariz.) - now Arizona Christian - on Oct. 9, 2009.

What's the single most important factor in judging a mystery? Plot is certainly high on the list. What's the point of reading a puzzler if all the answers are obvious from the beginning?
But character may be even more important. The author has to create characters that make me care about what happens to them and whose actions are at least relatively believable under the circumstances.
"Season of Darkness" by Maureen Jennings (McClelland & Stewart), 416 pages, $22.95). If you've ever tended to romanticize World War II, "Season of Darkness" will cure you.
The number of damaged people who "survived" probably never has been tallied.
This story focuses on Tom Tyler, a veteran of World War I and a detective inspector in the English police. The death of a popular Land Girl is the first substantive case he's dealt with for ages. (With all the young men gone, Land Girls were recruited from Britain to help farmers bring in their crops.)
In addition to the case, Tyler must cope with his son, who has not been the same since returning from the battle at Dunkirk, as well as his unhappy teenaged daughter. His first love, long a resident of Switzerland, is back in the area. He also gets some help from an unlikely source: a German psychiatrist interned at a local camp.
The characters are complex and fully developed, and the story is both particular to them and part of a much bigger picture. All in all, an engrossing story.
"A Fatal Winter" by G.M. Malliet (Minotaur Books, $24.99, 384 pages). Max Tudor, who became an Anglican priest after a career as a British intelligence agent, is once again up to his cassock in murder in a delightful village mystery.
The scene is nearby Chedrow Castle, a sprawling old place where it's easier to eavesdrop than to find your room.
There are two deaths at the castle and a slew of younger relatives with their hands out. Not surprisingly in a mystery set in a castle, there are some secrets and questions of inheritance. The book is, in fact, a traditional British mystery set in a typical locale, but with a modern sensibility.
The characters are well-drawn and engaging, not always easy to do when there's a large cast. And Max, the good-looking former MI-5 operative who just wants to live a quiet life — well, that's not in the cards. And that's good news for readers.
"The Incense Game" by Laura Joh Rowland (Minotaur, $25.99, 304 pages). A devastating earthquake in Japan in 1703 has left Sano Ichiro, chamberlain and second only to the emperor, with his hands full, what with the court and countryside in ruins. Plus the emperor keeps querulously demanding that Sano make things normal again.
But the death by poison of two daughters of a nobleman threatens the precarious recovery effort when he demands Sano investigate the case.
As always in this series, Sano's wife Reiko gets involved. They are a formidable pair, and even if roles for women were limited at that time, Reiko makes her contribution felt.
Although the book is fiction, the earthquake itself was real, and one of the fascinations of the book is watching how this rigid, crumbling society tries to reassemble itself. It is an issue that reverberates here in earthquake country.
"Murder for Choir" by Joelle Charbonneau (Penguin, 296 pages, $7.99). Paige Marshall, an opera singer looking for a boost to her career, agrees to coach a high school show choir. This seems to be roughly equivalent to teaching crocodiles to dance.
The world of the show choir is a new one to me, and was engaging and terrifying in equal measure. And that was before another coach is murdered, and one of Paige's students becomes the prime suspect.
Paige is your typical feisty young protagonist, unwilling to go for the obvious solution or to take "no" for an answer. Happily, Charbonneau makes her lively and believable. A few of the plot developments are on the farfetched side, but, if you suspend your disbelief, you'll find this first-in-a-new-series book has a lot to recommend it.

New HIV recommendations for adolescents
25 November 2013 -- More than 2 million adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19 years are living with HIV, and many do not receive the care and support that they need to stay in good health and prevent transmission. In addition, millions more adolescents are at risk of infection. The failure to support effective and acceptable HIV services for adolescents has resulted in a 50% increase in reported AIDS-related deaths in this group compared with the 30% decline seen in the general population from 2005 to 2012. New WHO recommendations released in the run-up to World AIDS Day 2013 are the first to address the specific needs of adolescents, both for those living with HIV and those who are at risk of infection.

Cattlemen: Missouri ag chief made threats
Officials at the Missouri Cattlemen's Association say the state's recently replaced agriculture director had made threats against the group's leader, marking the second time in two weeks that someone has alleged intimidation by the director.
Jon Hagler was replaced on Oct. 11 as head of the Missouri Department of Agriculture with little explanation from Gov. Jay Nixon.
The move came a day after another high-ranking employee, Beth Ewers, resigned while distributing a letter saying Hagler had created a work environment of "hostility, disrespect, intimidation and fear."
Leaders at the cattlemen's group told the Associated Press this week that Hagler also acted with hostility toward its executive vice president, Mike Deering, after the publication of a critical magazine article earlier this year. They said Hagler became so incensed that he made phone calls to multiple members of the group threatening bodily harm against Deering.
"He was just cussing and yelling. He said, 'You're going to have to do something with that boy of yours.' He was just really irate," said Chuck Massengill, the cattlemen's association president. "He used the f-word several times. More than one time he said, 'I'm going to whip his ass.'"
Hagler did not return multiple telephone and text messages left Wednesday and Thursday by the AP seeking comment.
When Nixon announced Hagler's replacement, the governor's office said in a news release that Hagler was to remain on the payroll through Thursday to assist in the transition. Nixon described Hagler as "a trusted friend and advisor" who helped make the department "more efficient and effective."
Nixon was asked by reporters last week about allegations of a hostile workplace at the Agriculture Department and whether he had ordered Hagler to leave.
"There was no causal connection on any of that sort of stuff," the governor said at the time. "You certainly have agreements and disagreements with folks, but I think when you look at the breadth of accomplishments in the agricultural sector over the last four years, I appreciate Jon's service."
It's unclear whether Nixon was ever told of Hagler's apparent conflict with the Missouri Cattlemen's Association. The group, which has about 4,000 members, carries particular sway because Missouri ranks third nationally in the number of beef cattle.
Tensions mounted in April after the association's magazine included an article by Deering bemoaning "a complete and embarrassing failure by the Missouri Department of Agriculture" to provide guidance on implementing a federal rule aimed at tracing diseased animals. The article specifically called out Hagler for not communicating with cattle farmers and said that as a result, there was "mass chaos" in the industry.
Deering told the AP that Hagler subsequently confronted him, angrily, in the Missouri Capitol hallway, then called several association leaders making threats against Deering. Other association leaders confirmed the angry phone calls.
Deering said he shared his concerns about Hagler with Zach Pollock, who at the time was the Agriculture Department's legislative liaison and had served in a variety of roles in Nixon's administration.
"I recall the situation, but I'll be honest with you, I'm not going to comment on any of that. ... I'm not involved in that stuff anymore," Pollock told the AP. Online records show Pollock left the department in September and now is a lobbyist for the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives.
Massengill, the cattlemen's president, worked at the Missouri Department of Agriculture for more than 20 years before leaving in 2009 because of what he described as an "intimidating" atmosphere created by Hagler. His account of the workplace environment matches with what Ewers described in her email explaining her resignation.
But Hagler has sought to leave a positive impression about his tenure.
A couple of days after Nixon announced Hagler's replacement, Hagler sent an email to department employees describing them as "the best team in state government" and recounting numerous accomplishments during his nearly five years as director.
"Being the Director of Agriculture is one of the greatest and most important privileges in public service and it is a privilege that I have taken seriously each day," Hagler wrote in the email.

NH law banning 'partial-birth' abortion taking effect with New Year; federal law already bans
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � In a largely symbolic move, New Hampshire is adding a ban on partial-birth abortions to its books Jan. 1, its second law limiting abortion.
It is the only survivor of five major abortion-related bills acted on by the outgoing House and Senate, where Republicans enjoyed supermajorities.
The House passed bills to ban abortions after 20 weeks, ban partial-birth abortions and require a 24-hour waiting period for abortions. Also passed were a ban on government funding to any health provider performing elective abortions and a measure to exempt employers from providing contraceptive coverage, considered by some to be chemical abortion because the pills prevent pregnancy. Only the partial-birth ban survived the Senate.
Lawmakers overrode Gov. John Lynch's veto in June to enact the partial-birth law despite an existing federal ban.

Dog City originally aired as part of episode 104 of The Jim Henson Hour on May 5, 1989 and was later shown on the Odyssey Channel as a stand-alone special without the MuppeTelevision framing segments. It was in this form that it was released on DVD as Dog City: The Movie, in the UK in 2005 and in the US in 2010.
The special was filmed in Toronto, Canada between November 1 and 18, 1988.[1] The special inspired an animated spin-off series, Jim Henson's Dog City.
Jim Henson cited Dog City as his favorite of all the shows he'd ever done, with "The Heartless Giant" as his second favorite.[2]
The story, inspired by a series of paintings by C. M. Coolidge, and adapted to the film noir genre, follows the exploits of a cast of Muppet dogs featuring Rowlf as the only character to break the fourth wall to speak to the audience directly. It is set in the 1930's...that's 13,510 in dog years.
Ace Yu, the protagonist in the film, arrives at "The Dog House", a restaurant in Dog City, to inquire about the death of his Uncle Harry, from whom Ace has inherited the restaurant. He is told by the bartender, Bubba, that Harry was killed by local gangster Bugsy Them, who rules the city. When Them finds out that Ace now owns the Dog House, he brings his gang, Scruffy, Laughing Boy, Mad Dog and Miss Belle to the Dog House and attempts to convince Ace to give the restaurant's money to him. When Ace insults Bugsy's tail, Them vows that he'll get back at Ace.
In the evening, Ace is awakened by a noise in the alley. On investigating, he finds Colleen Barker searching the trash cans for food. He offers to let Colleen eat some food he has in the Dog House, only to find someone has started a fire using a garbage can full of burning charcoal. After they put out the fire, Colleen accidentally knocks down a vase, which contains a duck puppet named Quackers, a toy that appears in Ace's earliest memory. With Quackers is a note that reveals that Ace's Uncle Harry was Ace's real father who had left him years before. Ace realizes that Bugsy Them killed his real father ("Dun Dun Dun Dun").
The next day, while Ace and Colleen stroll down the dock, Bugsy spies on them and orders Mad Dog to kill them. Mad Dog's obedience training gets the better of him, as Ace and Colleen repeatedly use words like "stay" and "roll over" in their conversation, and Mad Dog follows their commands, ultimately ending up in the harbor. Later, Ace and Colleen return to the Dog House, where Colleen sings "A Dog's Best Friend" to a mesmerized audience of male dogs, with a final note that breaks all of the glass in the building. During the ensuing ruckus, Colleen is kidnapped by Them. Ace asks for help from the patrons at the Dog House, but almost every single dog in the building leaves when he suggests that Them can't kill all of them.
Ace is given a note by Bugsy, asking for 10,000 dog bones in exchange for Colleen. Ace confronts Them, but when Them tries to kill Ace, Colleen escapes her gags and rope, and drives a car into the gangsters. A chase through the city ensues (accompanied by dramatic piano music provided by Rowlf, who always wanted to take his act on the road). In the chase, Scruffy, Laughing Boy and Mad Dog are launched into a billboard (Rowlf: "How come all the losers wind up in advertising?"). Miss Belle attempts to tell Bugsy they've lost, but Them doesn't know the meaning of the word lost (though Mad Dog does).
At the docks, a final battle ensues, which includes Quackers' head being shot off when Ace puts it on Bugsy's tail as a distraction. When Bugsy makes a frantic effort to shoot Ace and Colleen, he and Miss Belle wind up dumped in the harbor. As the police arrive, Ace proposes to Colleen, who accepts (having always dreamed of the day "When I'm Colleen Yu").
Rowlf ends the special by announcing that they got married and lived happily ever after...at least until their place was ransacked and burned to the ground by a marauding band of renegade sheep. "You know I knew once a dog named Jeff; hated sheep so much that he used to hunt 'em down and eat 'em. Folks called him 'Mutton Jeff'. Now that's a dog joke..."
Throughout the special, there are several instances of breaking the 4th wall, such as Ace and Colleen noting that saying "Dun Dun Dun Dun" brings out a musical cue, or Rowlf hitting dramatic chords on his piano.
Running Gags
- Ace's name ("I'm Yu." "You're me?")
- Dogs howling at the sound of a word ("How...?" "HOWL!" or "And accidentally fell off the roof!" "Roof!")
- "Dun Dun Dun Dun" is a music cue.
- Whenever Ace mentions that the dogs should help fight Bugsy, everyone promptly leaves (Rowlf: I think that's body language for yikes!")
- Laughing Boy making bad jokes (Ace: "It's just me and you!" Laughing Boy: "And a dog named Boo!")
- Dog Years: Rowlf says that 1930 is 13,510 in dog years. Bugsy Them says that he had Mad Dog in Obedience School "for 2, I mean 14 years." Later, Ace finds Quackers and learns he got him on his "first...er, seventh birthday."
- Jim Henson won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing in A Variety or Music Program for this special.
- Several dogs from this special recreated the actual Dogs Playing Poker painting in the "I'm Doggin' It" number for The Muppets at Walt Disney World.
- The arms of the puppeteer performing Rowlf's left hand can be seen.
- Some puppeteers appear beneath the dogs during the crowd scene at the Dog House.
- As Mad Dog follows Scruffy and Laughing Boy down the hall to Bugsy Them's room, Steve Whitmire's arm is seen.
- The edge of the pit in which the puppeteers stand in is seen when Ace first meets Colleen.

Conversations regarding requests for developers should be placed in this thread. Please note that while we may pass these suggestions on to the developers, it does not necessarily mean that they will be implemented into any patches, DLC, or potential future games.
- More petty crimes/events after 100% completion
- More costumes with LESS black and more color, no offence but the constant black in the suits really doesn't add much variety
- Can we have the vigilante suit for xbox too? I'd love to have it, closest I could be to being Peter Parker
Oh ok well beenox can you put unlimited crime and random boss encounters into one patch called post game. I don't want to go through all those enemeis to fight the bosses again. Thanks if you read because alot of people want this.
from what im reading, both here & there, the two things i see requested the most are indeed unlimited crime (it never takes a holiday afterall) & spiderman 2-like web swinging mechanics.
not necessarily the cosmetic webs sticking (would be nice) but the actual physics, like if your web is attached to a flagpole, spidey can only swing around that particular flagpole; until he releases the web.
you cannot play as parker...at all? idk, to me, super hero games are even better when you get to play as their alter egos; at least a little bit anyway, even if its just snapping pictures for the bugle.
hate to keep referencing sm2, but the game really did have alot going for it, even in comparison to today's standards/ technology.
offtopic: gonna take the test run with the game in a few minutes, i dont have a problem beating up as many badguys as i can, be them bosses or not. the only one that would really freighten me would be the lizard, especially if it were the lizard from the mcfarlene's sm; issues 1-5.
No. I highly doubt they'd rewrite their physics engine to be like spider man 2.
Please add in unlimited crime fighting after game completion.
Also please add a save game option and not just autosave.
Since this is Beenox and all I know we'll be getting more suits, but I hope we get a classics pack (real classic costume, real classic symbiote costume, normal Scarlet spider, and Ben Reilly Spider-man) and a Futuristic pack (2099, End of Earth, Unlimited, Iron Spidey). Also a random pack (New Spider-man(MIles), Venom Earth X-2, Flipside, Armored spidey) And an Powerful pack (Spider carnage, Spider Phoenix, cosmic spiderman, and Venom spidey) (Venom spidey isn't in the normal comics it takes place in the Spider-girl series and it looks like venom)
Beenox Please put unlimited crime fighting after you finish the game..... This would make the perfect Spidey Game ever... Unlimited crimes would make us feel more like Spidey because we know that hes always busy fightinh bad guys and being Spiderman was Beenox's main goal right? Also put random boss encounterss
- Peter Parker DLC/Skin (people ignore you as him)
- Gwen sidemissions (such as e.g. MJ Thrillride in SM3, maybe bring her to work/take her home?)
- Movie DLC (final fight with Lizard as a flashback mission)
General changes/Fixes wanted:
- Unlimited crimes
About Peter Parker Request:
Ever since I played SM2 I've been desperate for a feature that also lets me switch to Peter Parker. And I know it's not just me. I remember spending a lot of time in the Daily Bugle interior just to see him. It made me feel a lot more connected to the game, to be able to turn normal. I remember reading A LOT of topics about it discussing exactly this feature (they resurfaced throughout the years for almost every new upcoming open world game). When I played Ultimate Spider-Man I thought you could play as Peter Parker and immediately thought "ohgod, best game ever" (well you couldnt...).
I dont get how NO ONE has ever done this before, given you a feature where you can switch to Peter Parker (even if there is NOTHING to do). It would make that game the best Spider-Man game ever IMHO. If you add this feature or just a skin it would surely add +200% to my replay value. Because lets face it, I'm a roleplayer and I would make up the missions on my own.
Links to posts/users requesting that feature coming soon.

You see there IS A DEMAND for it. And I know that the devs dont like it because of their decision to let you experience the Parker moments in first person mode. I know they never planned it but it's really the only feature I really want. Give me that and I'm happy forever.
Thanks for taking your time (and thanks to the mods that take their time to pass this suggestions/feedback on to the devs).

Marcel Wanders gives this corkscrew the form of a lively, jumping jester bedecked in a multicoloured diamond costume. The Jester appears atop one of those platforms that circus artists use to perform their acts, as they prepare to dazzle with a leap or a pirouette. The designer cleverly conceals the functional parts of the corkscrew within the design of the character. The element resembling a circus platform conceals the worm and is the part positioned on the neck of the bottle, while the jester's pointed hat forms a practical grip that facilitates removal of the cork.
Marcel Wanders grew up in Boxtel, the Netherlands, and graduated cum laude from the School of the Arts Arnhem in 1988. Marcel Wanders' fame started with his iconic Knotted Chair, which he produced for Droog Design in 1996. He is now ubiquitous, designing for the biggest European contemporary design manufacturers like B&B Italia, Bisazza, Poliform, Moroso, Flos, Boffi, Cappellini, Droog Design and Moooi of which he is also art director and co-owner. Founded in 2000, Moooi has grown into an internationally renowned design label. Additionally, Marcel Wanders works on architectural and interior design projects and recently turned his attention to consumer home appliances. Marcel was the editor of the International Design Yearbook 2005. In the same year, together with Chef Peter Lute, he established the extraordinary LUTE SUITES hospitality-concept, the first "all over city suites" hotel in the world. He also designed the interior of Blits, a new restaurant in Rotterdam and the interior of the restaurant 'Thor' at the Hotel on Rivington in New York including bar, lounge and private club. Marcel is the first and among the most important designers of Droog design. He was a juror for various prizes like the Rotterdam Design Prize (for which his own products were nominated several times) and the Kho Liang Ie prize. He lectured at SFMoMA, Limn, the Design Academy, Nike, IDFA, FutureDesignDays and has taught at various design academies in the Netherlands and abroad. Various designs of Marcel Wanders have been selected for the most important design collections and exhibitions in the world, like the Museum of Modern Art in New York and San Francisco, the V&A Museum in London, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Central Museum in Utrecht, Museum of Decorative Arts Copenhagen and various Droog Design exhibitions. Coverage on Marcel has been published in all leading design magazines and newspapers such as Domus, Interni, Blueprint, Design Report, Frame, I.D. magazine, Abitare, Wallpaper, Nylon, Elle decoration, Icon, Esquire, the International Herald Tribune, Washington Post, the Financial Times, the New York Times and Business Week.
