Welcome to Eastwood House, Dunkeld
Eastwood House is a beautifully restored Victorian villa sitting in a stunning location on the banks of the River Tay about half a mile from Dunkeld in Perthshire and is available for self catered private hire throughout the year.
Eastwood offers relaxed, informal accommodation for up to 20 and is the perfect choice for gatherings of family and friends, special occasions and events or retreats. If you don't wish to self cater there are a number of caterers in the area who can provide a bespoke food service to suit your needs.
Eastwood House is set within 9 acres of riverside gardens and woodland and enjoys wonderful views over the river Tay towards Birnam Wood and Hill. It is a short, scenic, riverside walk away from the centre of beautiful Dunkeld which lies at the gateway to highland Perthshire in an area well known for its natural scenic beauty, its history and culture and its proximity to a wide range of outdoor pursuits.
Eastwood has a rich and varied history of its own. Originally part of the Atholl Estates it was for many years a beautiful highland retreat welcoming renowned guests such as Sir John Everett Millais, Lillie Langtry, David Lloyd George, Stanley Baldwin and, most famously, Beatrix Potter.
Since coming to Eastwood 5 years ago we have gradually restored and refurbished the house and cottages to create a wonderful new home for our family and a beautiful and tranquil place to share. The garden works continue to develop and this year we are hoping to renovate one of the main herbaceous borders in the rose garden and further enhance access to the riverside with new decks.
We are confident that we can offer a magical stay for our visitors in the comfort and beauty of this historic house and its stunning setting.
Alex Kettles & Cat Waldron
"Our second visit and what a triumph! Thank you so much our stay was just awesome, we feel we have a second home"

"We have had a fabulous weeks holiday at Eastwood, the house and gardens are lovely. One of the best houses we've been to"
"Such a beautiful place, the setting is magical, love the decor, the ambiance, the fires, the bathrooms and the very comfy beds"

So, you could be served a cobalt blue "pastry perfection" tasting very strongly of almond extract, peppermint, and chocolate chips, topped with salmon-colored icing, and decorated with multicolored candy sprinkles.
As the older sister, I helped her with the baking process; we tried not to burn ourselves too often. As I recall, that model was never recalled…

Release date: 2001-06-05
Suggested retail price: $19.98
Age rating: 13+
The local cops have a problem: the Demon Seed - a small but surprisingly capable gang with a charismatic leader. Their mecha body suits allow them to undertake spectacular crimes that regularly rampage the city and totally humiliate the local police.
Desperate, the police have created a special branch just to deal with them. However, these unlucky few aren't having any better results than the regular police and the public is turning against them. If they could just foil the Demon Seed once it would make their careers much easier...They just need a plan....
Now chief Hattori has come up with...um...well...something the Demon Seed gang will definitely never expect. Hatched from chief Hattori's alcohol-induced mind, it's just so bizarre that it's just got to work!
Find the perfect crime fighter that's so super, so fantastic and captivating that even if they don't beat the Demon Seed gang, the public just won't care! And who could this person be? An Idol Singer of course!
Enter Maron Namikaze. Cute and innocent; she can't sing or even dance but she has the only talent the job really requires: super-human strength! Now Hattori and his crew must mold her into the perfect Idol Singer and turn Maron their ultimate weapon... but at what cost? Can she really survive the Demon Seed's onslaught?
The story is somewhat reminiscent of Project A-ko in its innocence but its one of the most brilliant parodies of anime and Japanese Pop-Culture you're likely to find ... complete with it's own commercials!

Torrance sees green for Harrington
By Brian Keogh
Padraig Harrington won't let Tiger Woods send 12 years of hard work down the drain at the Masters.
That's the view of Scottish swing coach Bob Torrance, who believes that Harrington is a fearless warrior who can't wait for the chance to take on Tiger down the stretch at Augusta National.
After spending 12 years rebuilding his swing with Torrance on a freezing driving range on Scotland's west coast, Harrington badly wants to duel Woods down the stretch and take his place amongst he greats of the game.
Assessing Harrington's chances at Augusta, Torrance said: "Padraig's been a very confident player for quite a few years now. Very confident.
"He might not say it publicly but Padraig knows that there isn't a player out there that he can't beat. Not one. He knows that he can take them all on and beat them.
"He's fearless. He's frightened of nobody. He would be more than happy to go out and play the last 18 holes in the Masters tied for the lead with Tiger. That would suit him down to the ground.
"And that's simply because he loves the game, he has worked so hard on the game and he hasn't worked all these years for nothing. He is a very strong man, physically and mentally.
"When Padraig is playing well he is a match for anybody. He would just love to go down the 18th hole tied with Tiger for the lead. He loves that pressure."
If he triumphs at Augusta, Harrington would become just the third man since Woods and the legendary Ben Hogan to win three Majors in a row.
And Torrance can take some of the credit for the Dubliner's transformation from a poor ball-striker into one of the best in the game.
While he once hit a low fade with little power, Harrington is now one of the longest hitters in the world - a super ball-striker with a penetrating draw.
Torrance explained: "The first time I set eyes on Padraig's swing, he had no leverage. He hit the ball no distance. He was a poor striker. The flight on his shots had no penetration.
"But Pádraig was prepared to get worse in order to get better. Not many are."
Harrington is not the finished article just yet, despite more than a decade of hard work and millions of golf balls hit on Torrance's sub-zero range at the Inverclyde Sports Centre in Largs, western Scotland.
But what is it that makes him so strong when the chips are down?
Torrance chuckles at the question, responding: "He's Irish. It's like us Scots, we're a strong people and us Celts have to stick together.
"He has always had this determination and he doesn't like getting beaten."
Torrance has spotted the changes in Woods swing over the past nine months and believes the American has more control than ever. But Harrington has also been making improvements.
Torrance said: "He doesn't jump at the ball the way he used it. He is a lot softer through the ball. I think Tiger knew these things and he's been working on them anyway. Maybe the knee has just accelerated that process."
Preparing Harrington to win all four of the modern Majors is Torrance's quest and they've worked hard to create a new ball flight as the Dubliner battles to complete the grand slam set by adding the Masters and the US Open to his CV.
A new, steeper angle of attack will make it easier for Harrington to drill his shots into Augusta's car bonnet greens with more control next week.
Torrance said: "He is trying to keep the ball down a bit. His launch angle it too high and he tends to hit underneath it a wee bit. The trajectory is too high after impact.
"We are getting steep on the ball to improve his strike so that he can compress the ball more, the way Jimmy Bruen used to do back in the 30s and 40s.
"He is trying to come at the ball steeper to get more penetration in his flight. It is the launch angle of the ball leaving the club. It will come in high but it will still be going forward when it is landing, instead of dropping straight down.
"There will be more backspin on the ball. A ball that drops straight down from the sky is not going to come back. But a ball that comes in lower with spin is going to go forward and then screw back.
A sweet draw is Harrington's shot of choice but whatever happens at Augusta, Torrance has given his top pupil the same advice he's always given.
He said: "It's twelve years since I picked up his golf balls for the first time. We do it together now because we are a team.
"All I tell him is this: These are the happiest days of your life. They will never come again. Go out and enjoy them."
If you see Harrington smiling at Augusta, get ready for another major treat.

Mother's Day is a big event in Samoa. The day after Mother's day is a public holiday! The Catholic TV came four days before to film the Mothers of Mapuifagalele. Their picture was part of the advertisement on TV for Mother's Day. Our Residents are proud to uphold their dignity as women and mothers who still have a role to play in life, especially with their children and extended family.
Inter-cultural Encounter with the Wolverines, the Women's Volleyball team from the University of Utah (USA) visited Samoa. This was part of a yearly visit organised by the Mormons at Pesega. Along with their beautiful smiles and warm personalities, the girls brought with them two truckloads of medical supplies which included wheelchairs, commodes, individually wrapped soaps and boxes upon boxes of hand sanitiser. During their visit they also entertained the residents with their lovely voices and well harmonised hymns.
t was a wonderful visit by some talented young ladies who are on route to Fiji for some volleyball and more humanitarian work.
Steve Johnston, Specialist Trainer for Samoa at the Australia-Pacific Technical College, came with some of his students to present cakes and hot cross buns that they had made earlier in the day. Our present chef cook studied at the Technical College and Steve is very proud of her achievement.
Generous Benefactors The Mormons from Pesega, (their Samoan headquarters,) brought 34 sacks of taro. Earlier they had organized and donated more to the Tongan Cyclone Relief
A Venture of breeding rare species of native birds The Little Sisters have been helping to breed and protect this rare species of native birds that made their nest just outside the convent fence. This is their thrid set of babies. They must know that they are loved and well looked after by the Sisters. The Segasega mo'o is a tiny native bird with a red crown and coat for the male and a plain black coat for the female with a red breast plate! They are very swift and elusive little birds but they built their nest by the Sisters convent! When the little ones were hatched, the Sisters put a plastic cover on the branch to protect them from rain, and hung a homemade basket of coconut leaves to catch them if they fell! Mum is very busy bringing food and Dad is on guard against intruders, including the Sisters! God's creation is so beautiful and the Sisters find great joy in participating in the preservation of these exquisite little creatures.

Tuesday Tour Update: Terry talks rebound
April 30, 2013 9:27 am
The Walmart FLW Tour has seen a huge boost of young pros entering the scene this year. Guys like Drew Benton and Michael Neal have set the tone for many of the young guns, but there is another rookie pro quietly working his way up the ranks within the Angler of the Year standings - 21 year old Austin Terry.
Fishing cybertools
April 29, 2013 10:46 am
When you're fishing with an old-school bass angler, nothing will sour his face faster than seeing you slip a smartphone out of your pocket to peek at your email. As understandable as that attitude is, no one can rightly deny that today's phones provide a tremendous amount of useful stuff. Such a device can be as valuable as your graph or a good landing net. In fact, your phone is more like a toolbox than a tool because each app serves a separate function.
Howard brings it home
April 27, 2013 9:04 pm
HUDDLESTON, Va. - Winning an EverStart Series event is a feat in itself. But to do it in front of your home crowd makes it that much sweeter.

quetion on " Entire navigation route"
I have a 3 level menu and would like to show the "Active" choice of colour in the boxes
for the " Entire navigation route".
Should 3 boxes ( level 2, 1 and main ) be "active" if i pic a menu choice down on level 2 ?
Nothing happens if i chose " Entire navigation route" or " top level of current page" as parameter "Current" in the Design menu.

We have a roadmap, but don't want to announce any dates just yet in case we need to tweak things... final balance testing could take a few passes for instance.
This member has provided no bio about themself...
We have a roadmap, but don't want to announce any dates just yet in case we need to tweak things... final balance testing could take a few passes for instance.
You can host a LAN game of TS_Drought_Bots to play against infantry AI in a team deathmatch style map.
The launcher will automatically attempt to install any DirectX updates you need, but if you still get problems related to DirectX I would suggest using the official web update tool from Microsoft Microsoft.com
TS: Reborn comes with the correct version of scripts.dll when you install it via our launcher tool and will offer updates via the Games tab when necessary. There is no need to manually download and install scripts, nor are there any publically released scripts which are compatible.
The new patch in development limits teams to two MSAs and three MSGs to stop people spamming them.
Did you not install it in it's own folder?
You do not need to register or login to play our games, login is entirely optional
^ Me by the way, for some reason it decided to log out after clicking the notification to come here :/
*Checks life support machine
Hmm... I'm pretty sure Weakpoints in buildings are a feature of another W3D based game.... :)
Why not use the existing mech scripts that Reborn uses?
The buildings in AR are probably around the 5k poly mark EACH :P The engine can handle quite high poly counts even when textured, as long as you optimise the models to suit the rendering process (ie: merge meshes with the same texture into a single object to reduce the number of times the texture gets loaded per frame...)
Obviously it would be nice if it was able to cache the most frequently used stuff in the GPU memory buffers but W3D was written at a time when those buffers were far too small for caching anything in...
Details of how to apply are in the full versions of the development blogs on our forums, but I believe applications have now closed for this round of recruiting. Keep an eye on the dev. blogs to see when we announce the next round of recruiting (generally once we've worked the current batch of testers to the bone and they've burned out lol :D )
From my experience, AR seems to perform better than APB in terms of netcode, partly because our scripts and such were written after a lot of the core netcode improvements were made and can therefore do more with less bandwidth.
Also, infantry models. Lots and lots of them.
I might be interested, if you're still looking for a coder. I work as a software developer as my day job (C/C++/Java/C#/etc) and also write all the scripts for the W3D based game Apocalypse Rising (https://www.moddb.com/games/red-alert-2-apocalypse-rising).
I'm curious about how you plan to implement the multi-player aspect of the game, is it simply several players defending their own castles against their own waves of enemies or is there going to be some interaction between players (either assisting each other with cooperative upgrades a-la SimCity 2013, or making life more difficult for the enemies by redirecting some of their own waves to attack other players via some means).
Also, you mentioned in your first news item a custom engine, but the mod profile lists CryEngine3 as the engine... is it a custom version of CE3 or have you switched engines at some point?
- Daniel
It uses the Westwood W3D engine and we can release it as soon as we are done.
He is actually the slowest infantry unit in AR at the moment, moving 10% slower than other infantry units.
There will indeed be some kind of deployment effect in the final version and it won't be an instant switch from deployed to undeployed either, there will be a short (2 or 3 seconds) delay to prevent it being abused.
Indeed it did, but we can't balance things exactly as they were in RA2 because an FPS game has equal players on each side so it's not possible for the Allies to simply outnumber the Soviets all the time to balance the firepower each side has.
That being said we will be sticking as close to RA2 as possible without making it unfairly balanced against either team and it's a good bet the War Miner will be a lot tougher in the future.
Hmm... we shall see ;)
Over a year since the last news post.... is the mod still being developed?
Last time I posted a video as a ModDB video it got screwed up and I ended up re-uploading it as a download, so this time I just posted it as a download.
I don't know if it's some sort of bug or I am just not getting it, but even after watching a walkthrough video of chamber 2 I STILL cannot do the bit where you jump into an orange portal and come out the blue one to land on the ledge. The blue portal always seems just slightly too far away and I miss the ledge by about half a centimeter and slide back down the wall. I had my forward key pressed down the entire time from jumping off the starting ledge, so I don't see how else I am supposed to gain any additional speed to do this. The walkthough video showed someone just falling into the portal, popping up and landing easily on the ledge, which (after about 30 tries) simply doesn't seem to work for me.
The concept looks great, and I might have enjoyed it if I could actually get past the second chamber, but unfortunatly that really spoiled it for me... Have added to my list of watched mods, and remain hopeful that something might be done about this issue.
I wish I could draw like that! It must have taken a lot of time and effort to become so talented at it, congratulations.
As for the video, I think it was a great idea, it's really interesting to see process involved with creating the concept drawings, keep up the good work!
That's because there are no missions, this is multiplayer only.
As busy as.... bluehell? (Yeah... it's a bit lame isn't it? :P )
Technically it's not the SAGE engine, but the predecessor of the SAGE engine, known as the W3D engine. The SAGE engine was built from the W3D engine.
Not sure, but it was brought up on the forums too so maybe someone will change it at some point (not sure if it was you that posted it on the forum, the names are different...)
I think it's supposed to say "wrenching" in Bulgarian or something, but I don't know either language so I don't really know.

Halifax Thunderbirds Penelope & Parker
Halifax Bank is featuring two characters from the Thunderbirds stop motion animation TV series in their advertising campaign promoting Halifax Savers Prize Draw Superdraw. British aristocrat Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward and her butler/chauffeur Aloysius Parker are shown driving through town in the pink bulletproof armoured FAB 1 limousine. Parker asks if he can make a quick stop at a Halifax branch. He goes into the branch with a letter and is amazed to discover he has won the top prize of £500,000 in the Halifax Savers Prize Draw Superdraw. When asked by a bank employee what he'll spend the money on, Parker thinks hard. Then we see him on a beach, cocktail in hand, while his boss Lady Penelope, is back at the mansion ringing the bell for attention with him nowhere to be seen! Filmed in the Halifax branch in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, the Halifax Thunderbirds advert features Halifax colleagues as extras.

Trending Dos and Don'ts for Your Excel Dashboards and Reports
One of the most common concepts used in Excel dashboards and reports is the concept of trending. A trend is a measure of variance over some defined interval — typically time periods such as days, months, or years. But building trending components for your dashboards has some dos and don'ts.
Use chart types appropriate for trending
It would be nice if you could definitively say which chart type you should use when building trending components. But, the truth is, no chart type is the silver bullet for all situations. For effective trending, you want to understand which chart types are most effective in different trending scenarios.
Line charts
Line charts are the kings of trending. In business presentations, a line chart almost always indicates movement across time. Even in areas not related to business, the concept of lines is used to indicate time — consider timelines, family lines, bloodlines, and so on. The benefit of using a line chart for trending is that it's instantly recognized as a trending component, avoiding any delay in information processing.
Area charts
An area chart is essentially a line chart that's been filled in. So, technically, area charts are appropriate for trending. They're particularly good at highlighting trends over a large time span. For example, the chart in this figure spans over 120 days of data.
Column charts
If you're trending one series of time, a line chart is absolutely the way to go. However, if you're comparing two or more time periods on the same chart, columns may best bring out the comparisons.
This figure demonstrates how a combination chart can instantly call attention to the exact months when 2010 sales fell below 2009 sales. A combination of line and column charts is an extremely effective way to show the difference in units sold between two time periods.

New Kids Cruise vs BSB Cruise
As most of you know I am a die hard BSB fan and always will be. However, the summer of 2011 changed my life when I discovered the Backstreet Boys were joining forces with New Kids on the Block to form NKOTBSB for the ultimate boy band experience.
Now I will be the first to admit I had never been a fan of the New Kids and wasn't really familiar with them so going on this tour was strictly for BSB. I bought tickets to 4 shows along with Backstreet VIP's. I was ready to turn on my inner fangirl for BSB when BAM, the curtain dropped and my world spun upside down. I was thrown for a loop as I found myself quickly swooning over 5 New Kids I never even knew existed!
After the first NKOTBSB show I knew I was doomed! Before I knew it I was purchasing tickets to 2 more shows and trying to get an NKOTB VIP with no luck – SOLD OUT! I had a lot to learn about these guys but the first thing I discovered was an entire Block Nation of fans who knew exactly what they were doing!
And so began my new found fandom for NKOTB. A small part of me felt guilty, like I was turning my back on BSB. Then I realized that was impossible! BSB would always be my #1, having been a fan since I was 9, you can't take that away. And there's no such thing as too much boy band love. The more I learned about NKOTB, the more I realized how very different these two groups really are. Yes they are both singing groups comprised of men with crazy and dedicated fans that defy time, but that is about as far as the similarities go.
Please remember that this review is simply my thoughts and perspective on these two bands, both of which are near and dear to my heart. I do not mean to insult or offend anyone in any way and you can take this however you'd like.
You may find it hard to believe but I never realized how reserved BSB really are. Compared to NKOTB they are squeaky clean! I can't really decide if that is a good thing or not. In some ways it shows they are professional and stay true to the image they want to portray, however it makes me wonder if they are 100% genuine. Backstreet are always good to their fans and try to make us feel involved. I have never been disappointed in any VIP experience and they always perform their hearts out!
BUT, NKOTB really don't hold back. They know who their fans and audience are. They realize we have grown over the years and treat us such. They aren't afraid to say exactly what they think, they don't censor their language, and I just get a sense that they are being real all the time! And I hate to say it but I have never seen any New Kid with their nose buried in a cell phone during a VIP or interview.
Is it fair to say BSB has taken some ideas from NKOTB with regards to VIP's and other added features for the fans? Yes. And is it fair to say BSB might have some improving to do? Sadly, I think so. It's no secret BSB fans have suggestions on how to make the VIP's better and I think there is always room for improvement, even with NKOTB. But since I have not experienced an NKOTB VIP I'll call this a tie since I don't think either group will 100% make every fan happy.
Now for what you've all been waiting for, the Cruises!!! I went on the first two BSB Cruises in 2010 and 2011. I had already book the BSB 2011 Cruise when we found out that the New Kids were having their Cruise in 2012. While we were caught up in the moment on the NKOTBSB tour we said "screw it" and booked the New Kids Cruise too! After having experienced both group's Cruises, I can tell you there were definite similarities and differences!
Let's start from the beginning. On the first day we board the boat. We knew the guys have to get on the boat somehow and based on the BSB Cruise we had a good idea of where to stand in the lobby to get a good view. We thought we were being smart by heading to the Port at 10:30am when boarding didn't even begin until noon. Boy were we in for a shock when we arrived only to find the lobby already ¾ filled with fans! These Block Heads don't mess around. Right away I could sense the difference. Both bands had a full charter boat but BSB never sold out, whereas New Kids sold out almost right away! There were so many girls in this little terminal that I began to get a little nervous. This was a whole new ball park! Moral of the story, I learned right away that the BSB Cruise was way more mellow than a New Kids Cruise, if you can believe that!
So we didn't get the greatest view of the guys boarding and we waited twice as long to get on board but all was going well. Once on board, we headed for the Lido deck to get some lunch while waiting for our room. Just like the BSB Cruise, the guys were having lunch in the same area at the same time. The difference…the New Kids stayed on the top floor and sent their security down to get their food. I found that BSB were able to mingle a little better and sat on the main floor, stood in line at the buffet with fans, etc. But maybe that is because they had less of crowd to deal with than New Kids, who knows?
After eating we took a quick stop at our rooms to freshen up before heading to the Sail Away deck party. First of all I have to say I like the Destiny better then Imagination. The deck allows a way better view anywhere you stand and seems more roomy. But none the less, there were still those crazy fans who staked their claim on the prime spots and "camped out" for hours. Some things will never change for either group!
|New Kids Sail Away Party
Along these lines was the rockiness of the boat. In December I found the water to be a bit more rough. I handled the movement fine but some people were out of commission for the first day and missed all events because they were so sea sick. In June, I didn't even know I was on a boat most of the time so that was a huge plus!
Another major difference at the deck parties was that NKOTB had 3 small stages on the main level of the deck. Just like BSB they came out on the top deck by the railing but quickly made their way to the lower stages. I found this amazing since it allowed us to have a good view of each of them no matter where we were standing. The guys also took turns switching spots, crowd surfing through the fans to get from one stage to another or just walking through everyone! Each guy only had one security guard and I found they were really good at staying back and not being too pushy with fans. BSB did make an attempt to walk through the fans but it was literally a few minutes, quickly walking past everyone from one set of stairs to the other and back to the safety of the top deck with two security around each of them! Whereas the New Kids spent almost the entire night on the deck mingling with the fans.
Another huge difference between the two groups was that New Kids were constantly signing autographs for fans. If you were gutsy enough to go into the sea of fans in front of the stages and hold up something you were guaranteed to get it signed. The guys would also grab cameras and snap shots of themselves or with fans. They were just way more interactive! If you were like me and stayed back on the tiered railings you weren't out of luck either. Some of the guys weren't afraid the venture up further for us less "aggressive" fans! If I could suggest anything to BSB it would be to loosen up and trust your fans a bit more. We pay a lot of money to be there so try to make it a little more worth while.
I also found that the New Kids spent a lot more time on the microphone. As much as BSB tried to party I hate to say they really have nothing on NKOTB. These guys can drink and really know how to have a good time. They dance, pull fans on stage to dance with them, sing along to songs, give speeches, tell jokes, etc. Yes there were a few funny moments on the BSB Cruise and the guys had their fair share of drinks, etc. but I just found I spent a lot of time watching BSB hang out with each other and their friends/family from behind the railing and only occasionally addressing the fans.
|New Kids at Pajama Night
Moving on… be prepared to not sleep, on any cruise! Those deck parties go to the wee hours of the morning and you'll have to get up the next morning to do it all again. Wear comfy shoes!!! I paid the price on this cruise by wearing flip flops the whole time and my feet got so swollen from the heat and never sitting down. Comfort is key!!!
Next up…Beach Party. I have to say neither group had the best Beach Party. For Backstreet we were taken to the beach where it was a free for all to get spots in front of the stage. We had to eat our lunch in the sand at our spot because there was no tables and we waited for over 3 hours until the guys finally arrived. Once they got there it was great though. They sang a couple acapella songs and played a bunch of beach games. I found BSB got the fans more involved and spent more time on the beach playing games. They moved around and divided into two groups so there were more options for fans to get a good view at the guys doing something.
With New Kids they offered a reserved area for priority wrist bands, which I was lucky enough to have however, we were the first ones to get off the boat and had to stand in a line away from the beach for hours until we were finally let into the area closer to the stage. We were dying from standing in the heat all day but luckily the reserved area went into the water so we opted to stay a bit further back to cool off. The regular wrist bands were being kept off to the sides of this area but it was not officially blocked off. We thought we had it good until suddenly the stupid security guards let EVERYONE rush the stage at the last minute right before the guys arrived and they all ran in front of us in our reserved area so in the end we had a crappy view after standing in a line all day while the others got to relax on the beach and then took our spots. I was pissed!
A note for next year, the reserved area should be roped off right into the water and monitored better by security to make it fair for those who were supposed to have the priority wristbands. It's a "reserved" area for a reason!
But in the end, having a reserved area at the beach for wristbands is a great idea that BSB should consider too, it just needs to be organized better!
I also wasn't a fan of the concert being on the beach for NKOTB. Because of the heat they only sang a few songs, whereas BSB had a full on concert with lights and effects back on the boat. I think it's more fair to have the concert in the theatre on the boat where everyone has an assigned seat instead of the mayhem that took place on the beach with general seating!
I found the New Kids only did a few beach games and even though they brought up fans, they themselves didn't really participate in the games as much as BSB did so there was less interaction. They only spent a couple hours total on the beach whereas BSB were there all day with us! I think the Beach Party needs a lot of improvements for both groups and it's hard to say which was better or worse.
|Donnie at the beach party
I understand it must be tough taking photos all day and meeting 3,000 fans but there really HAS to be a better way to organize this! Just don't ask me how! My only suggestion to make up for this a little bit is to give each fan a autographed photo like at the BSB VIP so everyone walks away with something. It's the least they can do when we spend so much really!
Ok back to the positive…shows on the boat! I have to say I LOVED the shows put on in the theatre. First was the game show. I thought NKOTB Squares was hilarious but they should have invited one fan to sit with each of the guys to play together to make it more interactive rather than having all the fans off to the side. Other than that it was great. BSB also did a great job at their game shows each year and they really know how to involve the fans so I have no complaints there!
NKOTB on the other hand had extra shows in the theatre that BSB didn't. They divided it into two days with two guys each day. Danny's show was really moving and raw and the Joe Show was hilarious! He is so talented, I would pay just to see him perform that alone. Then there was the Backrub which I really have no words for and only wish I could have brought my camera but what happens on the boat stays on the boat (sorta)! And I couldn't have been more excited to see Jordan perform his Live & Unfinished show again, and he didn't disappoint! There really is nothing I would do differently about these shows!
BSB on the other didn't do anything above and beyond like this to showcase themselves as individuals or even offer extra events in the theatre. So I think that is something they should consider adding for the next cruise because it really does make a huge difference. We get to see them more and having it in the reserved seating theatre is very fair!
Each group also offered a gift bag and it's hard to say which was better. NKOTB had a drawstring beach bag as the actual gift bag whereas BSB had a cheap plastic bag. NKOTB had sunglasses and chap stick whereas BSB had trinkets that matched each theme night to bring with you to the deck parties. Another thing I liked with BSB was they planted 5 golden ducks one year and 5 golden crowns the next year and whoever had these items in the gift bag got to go on stage with the guys on one theme night to hang out with them. However, NKOTB had a water bottle which was by far the best gift! We brought it with us to the beach which was a lifesaver and then used it for the deck parties so we didn't have to keep buying drinks! Perfect!
I think overall I saw BSB around the boat more but that could be because the boat was less full and a downfall was they always had tons of security. I only saw NKOTB a couple times and they passed by quickly but I did see that Donnie and Danny signed almost everyone's door decorations that I passed by which means they took the time to walk around and leave autograph's which is awesome!
Doing these cruises can't be easy for either group and I'm so glad they put in the effort to do this year after year but I still think there can be improvements. I had an amazing time on each cruise I've been on and I'm sure it won't be my last! I can't say that one group is any better than the other but the best way I can describe it is they are very different!
I said from the get-go that I have always been a BSB fan and they will always be #1 but they'd better watch out because they have some serious competition!!! After this summers' NKOTBSB tour and the New Kids Cruise I now officially call myself a Blockhead even though BSB will always be in my heart! I can't even imagine what the future holds…all I know is I'm in trouble!!!

Radon is a cancer-causing, colourless, odourless, naturally-occurring radioactive gas that comes from uranium breaking down deep in the soil. Radon enters a home through cracks in foundation walls, construction joints, and gaps around service pipes or support posts.
Preliminary data collected from 268 homes in Calgary region by a University of Calgary project shows that one in five homes are over Health Canada's maximum acceptable limit of 200 Becquerels/m3.
Data also collected by The Lung Association, Alberta & NWT from 658 Alberta homes reveals that 16 per cent of those households have radon levels higher that Health Canada's acceptable limit. However, when the homes are compared to limits set in the United States — a limit of 149 Bq/m3 — that's 28 per cent of homes in Alberta that have tested higher than acceptable limits set in the U.S.
The World Health Organization recommends an acceptable limit of radon should be at 100 Becquerels/m3. With that said, 54 per cent of those same homes tested in Alberta are above WHO's acceptable limit — a result that is much higher than anticipated.
The result is staggering because radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking in Canada. About 3,200 lung cancer deaths are attributed to radon exposure each year — about 16 per cent of all lung cancer deaths in Canada.
There are no radon free areas in Canada and data shows Alberta is in a very higher risk of having radon in almost every home. However, the question every Alberta household and landlord needs to answer is how much of that radioactive gas is in his or her home. Of course, the only way to know is to test.
Health Canada recommends that homes and buildings be tested for a minimum of three months using long term testing kit and the best time to test is during the fall and winter months. Since it is already mid-February, time is running out for households to take advantage of prime time opportunities to test their homes for radon.
Purchase your test kit from The Lung Association office or online from http://radonaware.accustarcanada.com/ at the cost of $35. Kits are also available at different hardware stores.

NHTS Survey: Driving = Down. Transit, Walking and Cycling = Up
Photo: Flickr, CC
Relatively Fewer Car Trips
Data from the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) for 2009 contains some encouraging transportation trends when compared to the previous survey done in 2001. It shows that the share of trips that Americans made using cars dropped by more than 4%, and this decline was compensated in about equal part by increases in walking and cycling, and by public transit. What does this mean?
Photo: Flickr, CC
The recessions has obviously had a big impact on the number of trips and miles driven by Americans, but this data is not looking at absolute number of trips, only at the share of those trips that each mean of transportation took.
We can speculate that there are temporary factors that can explain part of this: Many people who could previously afford a car cannot anymore and switched to transit, or they still had a car, but they simply stayed home because they didn't have a job anymore.
But there are also longer-term trends that also contribute: Higher fuel prices are not going away anytime soon because of the thirst for oil of developing countries, and infrastructure improvements are making it easier to walk and cycle. Many U.S. cities have added bike paths and made existing ones safer, attracting more cyclists, and transit improvements (Seattle's new light-rail, for example) are also attracting new ridership.
The end of the recession might mean that the share of car trips will bounce back a little, but long-term trends in oil prices and improvements in infrastructures will, hopefully, keep the momentum going in the direction of a less car-centric society.

History of the Spring Lake Fire Department
A brief History of the Department (with special thanks to Jeremiah McDonough, who has spent innumerable hours pouring through boxes of old records to try and put the history together)
The Spring Lake Fire Department was established to provide the residents of Ulster Fire District #1 with fire, rescue, and first response emergency medical services. Our department is all volunteer, from the fire commissioners to the individual firefighters.
Ulster Fire District # 1 is governed by a Board of Fire Commissioners consisting of five publicly elected fire commissioners, each serving a five year term. The Board of Fire Commissioners are responsible for all aspects of the fire district including personnel, budgeting, purchasing and maintenance of equipment, and approval of district officers. The Ulster Fire District #1 maintains the district with monies collected from fire taxes paid by each resident. The district officers such as the chief, assistant chiefs, and line officers are elected by the membership of the fire company, but are approved and answer to the Board of Fire Commissioners. The district officers are responsible for the day to day operations and emergency responses of the department.
The Spring Lake Fire Company is an independent organization formed by the firefighters and non firefighting members. The fire company accepts no tax money and raises all funds through various fundraisers. The fire company provides public safety programs for the community, participates in parades and other community functions, social functions for the members, and elects the district officers to be approved by the Board of Fire Commissioners. The company is run by officers elected by the membership. The officers are President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and a chaplain. The company also has 3 elected trustees which oversee and approve all major expenditures, contracts and audit the financial records once a year.
History of the Spring Lake Fire Department
The concept of the Spring Lake Fire Department was developed by a group of residents who believed that there was a need for a town fire department to serve the residents in our area. Prior to the existence of the Spring Lake Fire Department the residents of Ulster Fire District #1 primarily relied on the willingness of the Kingston Fire Department to respond to fires in the area, even though it was outside of their district. Sometime around Thanksgiving 1953, Mrs. Georgia Elmendorf wife of charter member Lester "Bud" Elmendorf was playing with her daughter in the living room of their Millers Lane home. While in the living room she heard the crackling of a fire in her kitchen, she immediately called the Kingston Fire Dept. but their was a delay in response for an unknown reason. This fire in addition to another fire on Millers Lane, where an entire house was lost, caused a group of citizens to get together and begin to organize a local fire department. This group of citizens took their first big step on March 31st, 1955 when a public hearing was held with the purpose of forming Ulster Fire District #1. According to minutes from this meeting, several residents were present to speak in favor of the idea. The Town of Ulster Town Board immediately entered into a special meeting where a resolution to create the Fire District was unanimously passed. The Town Board also appointed the following Fire Commissioners to serve until a district election was held in December. The Commissioners appointed were: Robert Pardee, Theodore Gile Jr., Raymond Davis, Lester Elemendorf, and Herbert Greenwald. In addition Clyde Wonderly Jr. was appointed district treasurer.
With the district formed and beginning to organize, the next step was to form a fire company which would serve the fire district by supporting membership, electing district officers for approval by the Board of Fire Commissioners, and carrying out is mission of providing fire protection to the residents of Ulster Fire District #1. The group of residents acquired legal assistance to develop a corporation. On September 21st 1955, the Ulster Hose #1 Inc. (later to become the Spring Lake Fire Department Inc.) was formed. On September 27th 1955 the first meeting of the fire company was held at the Spring Lake Beach House, and the first officers were elected. They were:
- President - Arthur Bean
- Vice President - Carmello Dragotta
- Secretary - Fred Scott
- Treasurer - Stan Skora
- Captain - Tom Dragotta **(The title of Captain was almost immediately changed to Chief)
- 1st Lieutenant - Ray Davis
- 2nd Lieutenant - Robert Lauton
- Trustees: John Provenzano, Mr. Gross, Donald Oakley
In addition to company elections, the members of the fire company also discussed how they could assist the Fire District Commissioners in the building of a firehouse and obtaining firefighting equipment. In the subsequent monthly meetings of the Fire Company and the Fire District the fire department members went about the task of setting up a fire department, including the search for equipment and the building of the first firehouse, in addition the department members began to attend local fire training.

text: There's a good reason every time we incorporate a Martial Art into our MMA system. The reason we use Western Style Boxing is because it's use of angles and the leverage of weight to punch harder is the best way to do it in the world period. Head movement, angles and putting your weight behind each punch is something that's absent in many other Martial Arts, and it's been refined to the highest level in Boxing. Including the "Sweet Science" into our Mixed Martial Arts has made our fighters more elusive in our defense of take downs and strikes, it's increased our mobility, it's footwork puts us into better positions to strike and it's made us punch harder and faster. I account the success of our Muay Thai fighters, many holding title belts, to this integration of Boxing into our striking.

Dear Lifehacker,I've consistently been told to attending at diet labels, but I actually don't accept what I'm attractive at. Is there article in accurate I should attending out for?
Sincerely,Confounding Labels
Dear CL,Even admitting the Diet Facts labels accept been about forever, they're still a bit confusing. So confusing, in fact, we absitively to allocution to registered dietitian Andy Bellatti to advice bright things up.
If you're aggravating to aloof acquisition article to eat at the store, or you charge to bound analyze products, Bellatti suggests attractive at the additive account afore the diet label. You appetite an additive account that's abounding with absolute foods, not a agglomeration of words you've never heard of, a ton of parenthesis, or dyes. Bellatti adds:
The additive account affairs best because you can technically actualize a aliment artefact that "hits all the appropriate numbers" application awful processed, minimally alimental ingredients. The point of advantageous bistro isn't to subsist on bogus sweeteners, corn-based fat replacers, or abandoned fibers. In best cases, the beneath the additive list, the better. You appetite to attending at the aboriginal three or four capacity listed. A baptize of quinoa or beat in a cookie (if it shows up as, say, the thirteenth ingredient) is meaningless.
Reading the additive account additionally allows you to atom catchy claims. For example, aliment companies can accurately acquaint a artefact as absolute "0 grams of auto fat per serving" alike if partially hydrogenated oils (artificial auto fats) arise on the additive list, as continued as anniversary confined contains no added than 0.49 grams of auto fat.
The nice affair about capacity lists is that they're listed in bottomward adjustment by weight, so the aboriginal additive is the ascendant one. This makes award a amazon soup that's actually fabricated out of tomatoes as simple as authoritative abiding the aboriginal additive listed is tomatoes.
Once you accept a handle on your additive list, it's time to booty a attending at the confined size. The confined admeasurement is generally area you'll see a little bit of cheating on the characterization because a confined admeasurement will either be decidedly abate than what bodies actually eat, or it'll account assorted servings per alembic back best bodies eat the accomplished thing. Bellatti shares a few examples of this:
On the absolute Diet Facts label, the aboriginal affair you appetite to attending at is the confined size. Abounding times, confined sizes do not consistently reflect a archetypal animal portion. For instance, best granola articles appearance you diet advice for a beggarly 1/4 cup serving. It's acceptable that you commonly cascade yourself 1/2 – 3/4 cup of granola, so you charge to accumulate all the ethics on that characterization accordingly. Also, abounding 20-ounce bottles of sugar-sweetened beverages still accommodate diet ethics for an 8-ounce confined (some are assuredly seeing the ablaze and advertisement advice for the absolute 20-ounce bottle).
So, afore you go cerebration that Mac and Cheese isn't too angrily unhealthy, accomplish abiding you're not bistro six servings at a time.
The Diet Facts characterization is arranged with a ton of advice that's usually displayed in both allotment and weight. This is declared to advice you eat convalescent and as this diagram from the FDA shows, it's fabricated so that you can calmly differentiate amid acceptable and bad nutrients. However, Bellatti credibility out that it's not that simple. In fact, you can actually avoid a lot of what you see on the label:
Don't accord too abundant anticipation to fat grams. What is abundant added important is the blazon of fat you are eating. The fat in nuts, seeds, avocados, and coconuts is heart-healthy (plus, fat aids in accomplishing abhorrence — the activity of fullness.) Certainly, a confined of "fatty" almonds is a abundant convalescent best than a confined of low-fat absurd fabricated from aesthetic flour.
Of advance calories are important, but they accept to be looked at aural the ambience of the additive account and all-embracing nutrition. A 175-calorie confined of sunflower seeds is, easily down, a bigger bite than a 100-calorie backpack of Chips Ahoy crisps. Back it comes to calories, anticipate about affection aboriginal and foremost. "Calories from fat" adds actually no amount to the Diet Facts label. Again, benign foods like basics and seeds get a ample allotment of their calories from fat, while bathetic cereals and bonbon get a actual low allotment of their calories from fat.
Don't pay "Total carbohydrate" too abundant mind. The breakdown of those carbohydrates — amoroso and cilia grams — is abundant added important.
Basically, as Bellatti credibility out, the Diet Facts characterization is generally too oversimplified to use to eat healthy, and it makes it assume like assertive nutrients (like fats) are worse than they are. This is why the additive account is added generally your best accessory in award advantageous foods at the store.
Of course, the Diet Facts characterization still has a ton of advantageous advice on it, and Bellatti suggests advantageous absorption to a brace important genitalia of the label:
The boilerplate American is bistro amoroso by the boatload. Although the Diet Facts characterization doesn't differentiate amid added amoroso and naturally-occurring amoroso (i.e.: lactose in milk, amoroso in fruits), it's still important to attending at amoroso agreeable (especially in foods that don't accommodate milk or accomplished fruits like dates or raisins). Keep in apperception that bake-apple abstract is authentic sugar; don't be bamboozled by "fruit-juice sweetened" products.
Fiber is key. The boilerplate American alone eats bisected of the circadian cilia advocacy (25 grams). Accomplish abiding cilia grams are advancing from accomplished aliment and not artificially bumped up with abandoned fibers like inulin. Abandoned fibers aren't "bad", but they don't action the aforementioned bloom allowances as cilia from accomplished bulb foods.
It's a appealing simple set of rules back it comes bottomward to it. The capital takeaway from Bellatti is to absolutely attending at the additive account added than annihilation else, and to bethink that best of the best foods—fresh fruits and vegetables—don't usually accept Diet Facts labels.
Good Luck,Lifehacker

Its first settlers came to hunt for gold, but today, this casually sophisticated university town looks and feels very little like a mining camp. Tucked into the foothills below a rock formation known as The Flatirons, it's close to Denver geographically, but worlds apart in attitude.
Its feel-good Earth Mother reputation is well deserved. The Naropa University, the nation's only Buddhist university, is located here, as is the Boulder College of Massage Therapy. Complementing these schools is the flagship campus of the University of Colorado with approximately 30,000 students.
Shopping, they say, is the number one pursuit of travelers these days, and you'll find plenty of it here. Shops with clever names and unusual wares will draw in passers-by on the Pearl Street Mall downtown.
But shopping isn't the only way to get outdoors in Boulder. The city was named the best place in the nation to indulge in outdoor sports by Outside magazine. Here, you'll find 45,000 acres of designated space to hike or ride a bike, climb a mountain, kayak a river, walk along a stream or fish. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are popular in winter, as is skiing and snowboarding at nearby Eldora Mountain Resort.
Elegant, historic hotels complement modern digs to provide a variety of overnight accommodations. Restaurants also abound, and vegetarians are more than welcome. Don't miss Boulder's great craft breweries and exciting nightlife, thanks in part to the college-age crowd.
Because Boulder is a university town, it offers rich cultural experiences such as the annual Colorado Shakespeare Festival and Colorado Music Festival and has a reputation for hosting world-famous performers and guest speakers at events throughout the year.
Boulder has long been a forward-thinking community. That fact, combined with its high-altitude location, inspired the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to settle here — both of which offer tours to visitors.

Well, yesterday was "Hedgehog Day" - to us classic Sonic fans, anyway, who have thought of it as such ever since the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on that very day over a decade ago in 1994.
To celebrate, I played Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 back to back, straight through. I had a fantastic time. All I gotta say is: if Sega hopes to recapture the magic that those games had, it's gonna take Herculean effort.
About that.... Sega's own method of celebrating Hedgehog Day involved drip-feeding a few new bits of Project: Needlemouse to the salivating public.
Before I get to that, though, I should quickly mention what I thought of the last batch, which I neglected to comment on before. Back in January, they posted a second piece of Badnik concept art and an intriguing paragraph.
A Motobug. It's okay - again, I'm happy that the design is pretty faithful to the original, but I'm not a fan of the sunken eyes at all. It also, being a Badnik from Sonic 1, further reinforces the fear that Needlemouse won't be as creative and original as it should be.
But they also left us with this:
Speed is something that is not given; but rather earned through dedication. Speed is not found by simply pushing a boost button, but by building momentum. It is the reward for skill in the face of difficult challenges – this kind of speed is the most exhilarating, not only because it is fast, but because of the pure perfection such speed exemplifies. This is the truth of the original Sonic games – and this is the truth of Project Needlemouse.
Well, duh, right? The community's been saying this for years. It's kind of irritating to hear Sega quote it back to us as though they were making some sort of genius revelation. But it's nice to know that they've gotten the message.
At this point, my excitement meter would have shot up a few points. It looked like Sega was honestly trying hard. But I held off on airing my thoughts, because a new batch of goodies was so soon forthcoming.
Which brings us to today. This is what they've revealed:
That's right. A flower and a palmtree. A FLOWER AND A PALMTREE.
Note: What follows will be my emotional response. I am a rational person, and I understand that Sega of America isn't allowed to give away too much, and that mere concept art isn't indicative of the finished product. That said, I'm going with my gut reaction just for the sake of historical record.
I am extremely disappointed. Badniks were one thing - classic Sonic games weren't above reusing a Badnik design here or there.
But that flower and tree! Not just any flower and tree, either, but palpably the ones from Green Hill Zone. A spinning sunflower? Not even Palmtree Panic Zone, which is the closest classic Sonic ever got to a true Green Hill remake, had spinning sunflowers. And Sonic CD's zones were really similar to Sonic 1's on purpose!.
This is disappointing because it yet again reinforces the uncreativity and unoriginality that has plagued Project: Needlemouse's image since the first trailer that invoked the winged ring logo. They still have shown us nothing that proves they can be at least as creative as the Sonic fan community.
And there's no good reason. I mean, remember this?
Wow! Trees, growing crystals. And the sea showing behind some mountains, to make it feel more like a nearby islet. It's nothing totally revolutionary, but it's just enough of a cute twist to make it feel like something new and exciting.
This was precisely the type of thing I was hoping to see from the zone concept art on Hedgehog Day. The one thing I desperately did not want to see was anything from Green Hill Zone. Sega blew it completely.
They even make a lame excuse, claiming that sometimes it's better to "renovate than innovate":
...the levels themselves also have to exude a style that matches or improves upon what came before them. Often, it is not about attempting to revolutionize, but rather to stay true to the formulas for Sonic's success that already exist.
I find that a rather weak way to apologise for not having anything new or exciting to show.
But that's not the worst of it. They also teased the music. It's awful. I know it's a pitifully short sample, but everything about it is wrong. I won't bother saying more about it, though, because Tweaker put it best at Sonic Retro.
You know, I frankly find it almost insulting to think that Sega thinks the classic fans will jump for joy at a stupid rotating flower. It shows an unhealthy focus on the details of the classic games, and not the underlying spirit that made them great. If all it took was a copy and paste from Green Hill Zone to make a good Sonic game, we'd have had one already. It's gonna take a lot more than pointing to an individual foreground element from an early game, saying, "Remember that? We got that!" to inspire our imagination. Remember, Sonic 3 had a tropical island zone - and then it blew it up. Now, that's the way to start a game!
All in all, it's been pretty disappointing. I'm still slightly optimistic, and waiting for Thursday when more news is supposed to come. But I'm getting the strong feeling that Sega ain't got the touch. I'm still pinning my hopes on the fangame community to supply my Sonic thrills.

Startup Provides Unique Brewery Ingredients
A new Michigan State University startup company has found a way to apply Michigan's role as first in chestnut production to the booming microbrew industry. Treeborn Products craft-roasts chestnuts to be used in the brewing process for both gluten-free and regular ales, stouts and porters. Their craft-roasting process helps maximize chestnuts' naturally sweet, nutty flavor.

シュー生地でクリームと苺をサンドした人気のパリブレストBesides common pastry items like Paris Brest (¥650), there is the exquisite glass of Strawberry and Spumante Verrine (¥750), which contained ONE WHOLE premium strawberry! This is a practical way to enjoy those expensive ichigos as we don't have to splurge on the entire box.
Strawberry Spumante Verinne 苺とスプマンテのベリーヌ
スプマンテのゼリーの中に大きなフレッシュストロベリーが丸ごと入ったベリーヌです。Plus, anything that contains alcohol (in this case, it is infused with Italian White wine that is typically known as Spumante) is a bonus and not surprisingly, this was my mum's favourite as well. The smooth, wobbly jelly is so light yet boozy, making it a great low-calorie dessert for those who usually stay away from sugar.
Fragola Grande ラゴーラ グランデ
くり抜いた苺の中に自家製いちごジャムや生クリーム、コンデンスミルクなどを詰め込んだ、いちごミルク味のスイーツです。I must confessed I might not have bought the Fragola Grande if I had not carelessly overlooked the price tag of ¥1200. This was constructed of two hollowed-out strawberries filled with homemade strawberry jam, fresh cream. Since the Japanese usually dip ichigo in condensed milk, the chef has coated the berries in condensed milk, dried ichigo chips and arranged on strawberry chocolate crunch slab.
Is this worth the price? YES! The strawberries were tremendously sweet and firm, which made me curious the source of these ichigos as it is stated that the price of this pastry varies according to the type of ichigos available @_@
Fiore Fragola フィオーレ フラゴーラ
アーモンド生地に苺ジャムを入れて焼き上げ、フォンダンをかけた焼菓子です。Last but not least, the Fiore Fragola (¥1200), a moist strawberry cake on a sable base and coated in fondant. It was a pleasant surprise to find the rare pairing of a crunchy base to these kind of bundt cakes. It's admittedly on the sugary side but perfect for washing down with a cup of hot ocha.

Fall Style Advice from Trunk Club x CB2
The Trunk Club Live Your Style campaign, in partnership with CB2, celebrates personal style, both in your wardrobe and your home. Each season, we'll be exploring how trends in fashion and interior design inspire each other, and help people live more stylishly.
As we prepare for the dog days of summer to transform into a familiar autumn chill, we're inspired to refresh our wardrobes—and our homes. While the warmer months are spent in airy fabrics, light hues, and breezy silhouettes, fall inspires us to move into warmer tones and a more sophisticated, tailored style. This fall, you'll find us at the office in a mix of crisp, structured fabrics and cozy textures, and our homes are following suit. We're seeing fall workwear-inspired trends and fabrics being peppered into rugs, throw pillows, and other accessories. Keep scrolling to see what we mean.
Stand out in stripes
Featured CB2 products from left to right: leather dressage runner, inlay black and white serving tray, black and white diamond pillow, quitting time rug, clifford stripe vase, stripe denim pillow
To match the crisp fall air, we're adopting sharp, clean lines and stripes into our closets and decor. A vertical stripe looks polished, professional, and makes us stand a little bit taller. Likewise, home accents with sharp lines—such as pillows, vases, and serving trays—draw the eye and feel refined.
Find your tailored fit
Featured CB2 products from left to right: leather dressage runner, tate table lamp, fringe saddle pillow, izzy saddle leather pillow, quitting time rug, zebra storage box
Nothing says "back to business" better than well-fitting trousers. Gone are the loose-fitting linens and light cottons, and out come the sturdier tweeds, wools, and leathers. If the sophisticated sartorial life is your cup of tea, home pieces with perfect tailoring and detailed stitching (like the saddle brown leather pillow or woven rug), will tie all the components of your style together.
