Tough Business, Good People
Fund: New Vantage Group
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-11-11
We pitched and were funded in a round led by the D'Archangels / Active Angels managed by the New Vantage Group in February 2010. I think the frustration indicated in these posts is a product of the fact that managing angel groups is like herding cats and the range of fields in which the individual angels were successful means that there are a lot of perspectives and hot buttons for the New Vantage management and the pitching entrepreneur to contend with. Imagine pitching to and trying to build an investment syndicate for a cutting edge software business from a government services sales guy, a consumer products entrepreneur, a corporate lawyer, and a celebrity chef. Even tougher when the investors have lost half of their portfolio in the public markets.
I raised over $20M in my previous company, including during the down markets of 2001-02. In 2010, I thought New Vantage was fair in their dealings with us, deliberate, and relatively efficient. Certainly no less so than regular VC's with 'billions under management' and bigger staffs. The only real frustration was finalizing the final investment amount as more angels in the group decided to invest – not a terrible problem to have. New Vantage also introduced us to other angel groups outside the area who immediately joined in because of the strong relationship with New Vantage and reputation of John May.
John May and Dan Mindus were accessible during the deal and good people to work with. Dan led the deal sourcing and syndication, deal structuring, due diligence, and successfully closing of a seven figure investment in a difficult economic and funding climate. Dan was knowledgeable, creative, and driven to find common ground between the investor syndicate and the prospective portfolio company management to get the deal closed in a timely fashion. And through all this, Dan demonstrated a rare quality in venture capitalists, he was easy to work with and demonstrated common sense.PRIVATE: Members Only (597 Characters)

I recently mentioned in my skincare routine post that I had been using this new vitamin C serum, so it's time now I give you my word about it.
What the brand says:
"By combining the benefits of the Hydra-Pure Chelating Complex® with multiple forms of Vitamin C working on all layers of the skin, density is improved and lines and wrinkles are diminished while simultaneously slowing the future aging process." - Dr. Dennis Gross
How you use it:
You need to use it on clean dry skin at night, as sunlight deactivates Vitamin C, so using it for daytime would be less effective and would require a high sun protection factor.
The ingredients list, (I recommend you all read it this time):
Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclomethicone, Ascorbic Acid, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Peg/Ppg-18/18 Dimethicone, Squalane, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Quercetin Caprylate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Linoleic Acid, Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Salix Nigra (Willow) Bark Extract, Acrylates/Carbamate Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Panthenol, Pentasodium Pentetate, Phytic Acid, Potassium Citrate, Potassium Gluconate, Tetrasodium Edta, Purified Water (Aqua Purificata), Phenoxyethanol.
My experience with the product:
As you have read in the ingredients (see? I told you you needed to read the ingredients), the product is quite rich in silicones. I was a bit worried about it at first - not that I really have a problem with silicones but sometimes it's used to give the skin a smoothing effect without any real action on the skin condition. But I was explained that, as Vitamin C is very instable, the silicones help stabilizing it and keeping it active - fine by me.
Also, from what I've read on the web, this is one of the most active serums on the market, combining 3 types of vitamin C for effectiveness.
The packaging is totally opaque to protect the serum, and comes with a pump that you twist in and out. I think it's very clever, practical and hygienic - the bottle is also quite light. I wouldn't mind taking it along to travel.
The serum itself is white and siliconey, very easy to apply and feels very smooth.
More reference to the ingredients list: the product contains AHA, e.g. salicylic acid and lactic acid. Since I was using those ingredients already and liking the effect on my skin, I'm quite glad they're included in this serum, this way I get a small daily dosis and it helps keeping the skin smoother.
I have read, though, that some people have experienced stinging and reactions when using this serum but if you're sensitive to AHA, that must be the reason. I must also say that if my skin's a tad bit irritated, I will experience the stinging too, but it's nothing dramatic and I really don't mind.
The one problem I have is that I don't know when to put on moisturizer. The instructions mentioned that you could use moisturizer from the range on top of the serum but I don't really see how any moisturizer would get through that layer of silicone and reach my skin. I've tried to find information about that and have heard 2 main theories:
- the silicon evaporates from the skin, so if you wait a bit before applying moisturizer on top, it will reach the skin
- the silicon will act like a barrier, so you need to apply the moisturizer first
These contradictory information coming from equally reliable sources, taking a side was hard - I have decided to either use the serum alone or moisturize first.
The overall result.
I haven't experienced the same fantastic results I had had with the Vichy serum, but I do see a difference when using this: my skin is brighter than when I don't, and a bit smoother as well.
However I'm not sure yet if I'll repurchase or try something else, purely because of the price: $95, £58. I had been lucky to get it on sale from Zuneta, but at the full price I'm not sure - if I can find something cheaper with similar results, I'll probably give it a try.
On the other hand, my skin deserves good treatments, and if I don't find an alternative, I'll gladly keep using this product because it works well. The product doesn't have a short shelf life so I know I can finish the pricy bottle and won't have to throw away some product.

BRISTOL — Action taken by the Bristol selectboard Monday evening will result in a small increase in the town tax rate — a very small increase.
The selectboard raised the rate by $0.0024, or less than a quarter of a penny. That amounts to $4.80 on a home valued at $200,000.
This was the second time this summer that the selectboard had to revise the tax rate. The original revision last month concerned a pending evaluation by the state on a Bristol property's taxes, which was not a factor in the most recent revision, Town Clerk Therese Kirby said.

ReleasesBack to
Kenny Dorham
Joe Henderson's second recording as a leader features a very strong supporting cast: trumpeter Kenny Dorham (one of Henderson's earliest supporters), pianist Andrew Hill, bassist Eddie Khan, and drummer Pete La Roca. Together they perform three Dorham and two Henderson originals, advanced music that was open to the influence of the avant-garde while remaining in the hard bop idiom. The up-tempo blues "Teeter Totter" contrasts with the four minor-toned pieces and, even if none of these songs became standards, the playing is consistently brilliant and unpredictable. Even at this relatively early stage, Joe Henderson showed his potential as a great tenorman. ~ Scott Yanow

That Gwyneth. Her amazing body, beautiful skin and hot musician husband. She always turns it out on the red carpet, and she got our vote for best dressed at the Oscars in that sleek, white Tom Ford. We also loved her makeup, especially the eyes. The key element? NARS Alhambra Duo Eyeshadow. Makeup Artist Leslie Lopez for NARS Cosmetics applied the champagne side to Gwyneth's lid for a pop of gold.
In my quest to be Gwyneth-esque (wish I had a Chris Martin, if we're being real, though) I used Alhambra all week long. A duo I've had and loved for some time, it was almost like a reunion between BFFs who've been out of touch for years but manage to pick up right where they left off. I had some fun with the pink side and the champagne side, but I had the most fun mixing them together for a rosy gold color. It's been everything to my eye look this week — I'm even forgoing eyeliner and just loading up with mascara. Alhambra is a true Beauty VIP, and one of my all-time favorite duos from NARS.

Directe contactpersoon voor Lindab producten in uw land
In February 2011 Astana and Almaty, Kazakhstan, witnessed the 7th Asian Winter Olympic Games. During the Games the best athletes from 27 Asian countries competed for a total of 69 sets of medals in 11 sports. Kazakhstan team earned the 1st place in the team event and set a new record having won 70 medals, 32 of which are gold.
Another important achievement of Asiad is brand new sports arenas that will serve Kazakhstan athletes for trainings long after the Games are over. The Kazakhstan Sport Palace, for instance, is equipped with a modern skating rink with 1000 seats stands and meets all Olympic standards.
On the 1st of February the Palace hosted men's ice hockey championship between Kazakhstan and China national teams. The game was attended by the President of Republic of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev.
The new skating rink was built employing unique Lindab Buildings constractions. The building possesses a 6400 m2 non-standard arch roof supported by special pillars and a gallery connecting the main building with the rink. The erection of the building was carried out by Contractstroy-A Company, Lindab Buildings authorized Builder from Astana. The design was made by the architect Vladimir Laptev.
LMR600 seamed roof system used in the project with integrated natural ventilation is perfect for the acutely continental climate of Astana with its rigorous winters and sultry summers.
The new skating rink will promote further achievements of Kazakhstan sportsmen!

NEW YORK — Donald Trump has become a must-stop for GOP candidates looking for advice or hoping to bask in the celebrity real estate mogul's star power.
All the major Republican presidential hopefuls have sought an audience with Trump, just months after President Barack Obama dismissed the TV reality show personality as a "carnival barker" for raising debunked questions about Obama's citizenship.
Trump's money and fame as host of "Celebrity Apprentice" are part of the draw for GOP candidates. But Republican strategists say candidates could also learn a lot politically from Trump, whose aggressive criticism of Obama and blunt portrait of the U.S. as a nation in decline have resonated with conservative voters looking for an in-your-face challenge to the president.
"Trump created a position of playing offense and took it right to President Obama and his policies," said John McLaughlin, a GOP pollster who has worked with Trump, who flirted briefly with a presidential bid. "He speaks in plain language about jobs lost at home, and our loss of prestige overseas. He's been forthright and willing to put in a sentence what the average person feels."
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is the next presidential hopeful scheduled to meet with Trump, on Monday in New York. Texas Gov. Rick Perry dined with Trump earlier this month at a fancy Manhattan restaurant. Sarah Palin, still toying with a potential presidential bid, shared pizza with Trump and his wife, Melania, in Times Square last spring. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann visited Trump's penthouse atop the Trump Tower in July.
Thump even sent a videotaped message to the Faith and Freedom Coalition forum in Florida where all the major GOP contenders spoke Thursday.
"It's very important that we pick the right person. If we pick the wrong person we're going to have four more years of this nonsense in Washington. Obama must be defeated," Trump told the gathering.
Aligning themselves with Trump could help Republicans in a GOP primary because conservatives who make up the base of the party generally cheer him. But candidates risk losing moderates, independents and other general election voters turned off by Trump's crusade against Obama's birth certificate.
The candidates haven't fully embraced the issues Trump champions, like bashing the OPEC oil cartel and demanding that countries like Libya and Iraq repay the U.S. for military assistance. But they've also adopted some of Trump's other themes as well as his blunt tone.
Releasing his 59-point jobs plan earlier this month, Romney echoed Trump's tough talk against China, which Trump has accused of "stealing" U.S. manufacturing jobs through currency manipulation.
"I'll clamp down on the cheaters, and China is the worst example of that," Romney said, vowing as president to order the Treasury Department to designate China a "currency manipulator." Such a designation could trigger trade sanctions against China, a major U.S. trading partner and its biggest foreign lender.
Nearly all the candidates repeated a warning that America's stature is declining in the eyes of the world after Trump cast the U.S. under Obama as a global "laughingstock" and "whipping boy" in a well-received speech to the Conservative Political Action Committee conference last winter.
Perry, in a new campaign video, describes the U.S. as "the least great hope of mankind" and states, "We don't need a president who apologizes for America. I love America."
Pizza magnate Herman Cain has called the U.S. "a nation of crises." Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman says "What we're seeing playing out in America is a human tragedy."
To be sure, not all the rhetoric can be traced to Trump, who is largely echoing the sense of America under siege that has animated many conservatives. But Trump spokesman Michael Cohen, noting the candidates' tone and themes, said "I just wish they would give Mr. Trump the credit now that they're emulating his views."
Trump's reputation was in danger of taking a hit last spring, when he almost single-handedly revived questions about Obama's birthplace and demanded to see the so-called "long form" birth certificate showing the president was born in Hawaii in 1961. Until that point, the so-called "birther' controversy, suggesting Obama had been born outside the U.S. and not eligible to be president, had been promoted by fringe elements of the Republican Party.
Trump's efforts to stoke the issue succeeded in part — Obama did release his long-form birth certificate after years of refusing to do so, putting the issue to rest for good.
"We're not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by side shows and carnival barkers," Obama said announcing the release of the birth certificate, a clear shot at Trump.
Obama went even further days later, using his appearance at the White House Correspondents Dinner to mock Trump, who was sitting in the audience.
"No one is prouder to put this birth certificate to rest than The Donald. Now he can get to focusing on the issues that matter. Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened at Roswell?" Obama said. The audience laughed and cheered while Trump glowered.

Sweden's Stockholm Metro, however, is filled with bright colors, mosaics, bas relief, even, installations and sculpture created over the past 60 years. Often considered one of the continent's most beautiful metro systems, the city takes the underground art very seriously. For the price of a ticket, the system offers guided tours with a Metro expert. Further, the Stockholm Metro hosts temporary art exhibits in addition to its six decades worth of permanent art. Next time your in Sweden be sure to schedule some time underground.

Walmart helps Latham Circle 'Shoppes' take shape
Supercenter serves as lure for other retailers to site of new plaza
Walmart's decision to open a supercenter at the former site of Latham Circle Mall should lead other businesses to come around, the property's owner said on Wednesday.
Business leaders, government officials and Walmart employees gathered on the site of what will become the Shoppes at Latham Circle to celebrate the first major tenant at the property. They staged a groundbreaking ceremony with a pile of dirt and officials wielding shovels.
Walmart will close its nearby Latham Farms store to move to the new plaza.
First announced in August 2012, the project has struggled for some time to lock down its first tenant to join Lowe's Home Improvement Center, the only remaining tenant on the property. JC Penney and Regal Cinemas originally survived the demolition of the mall, only to close afterward. Those two buildings will come down in August, owner David Allen said.
With the Walmart lease in hand, Allen said, he began marketing the property to other prospective tenants.
"That was our strategy. We didn't put the rest of the center up for lease until we completed the Walmart transaction," he said. "Sixty days ago, we began to market to other tenants."
In some ways, the plaza will return to its roots. First opened in 1957, it was originally an outdoor shopping plaza called the Latham Corners Shopping Center. It was converted to an indoor mall in the 1980s.
Walmart will occupy 188,000 square feet of space, more than the 126,000 square feet at the Latham Farms property, store manager Ed Daniels said.
"Twenty-one years ago, we opened our doors to this community for the first time," he said. At the time, he started working for Walmart as an assistant manager trainee. Since then, he's worked for the company in three states before returning to manage the Latham Farms store. He will be in charge of the new building.
Colonie Supervisor Paula Mahan said she is glad to see the project taking shape.
"This is something we've been waiting for for a long time to get this site redeveloped," she said. "It certainly is going to brighten up this focal point at Latham Circle."
Daniels is unsure what will happen to the existing site.
"It's a flagship store, and I don't think they'll have any difficulty filling it," he said.
Walmart will build the new store itself, will own the building and will lease the land on which it will stand, Allen said.
"They'll take possession of the pad this summer," he said. "Probably within a year they will be open."
The new store will include a full-service grocery with fresh meat, seafood and a bakery, Daniels said. The bigger store is expected to add 175 to 200 new jobs.
There are now 200,000 square feet of additional space available, Allen said. Over the next six months, he said, the developer will work to identify the right mix of tenants.
Mark Hebert, vice president of project developer Grossman Development Group, said they are looking for a mix of entertainment, restaurant, men's and women's apparel shops, and other tenants.
"There are nibbles. Sometimes leases to tenants progress very quickly, some take six months," he said. "Having that anchor tenant goes a long way toward leasing the rest."

Chiltern Loco-Hauled Services
From the start of the winter timetable, 13th December 2010, Chiltern Railways commenced a few services operated by Loco Hauled Coaching Stock (LHCS), though prior to this were several trains that stood in for unavailable 168 units or ran for timing trials, also test trains for clearances etc. Initially, one train was provided by Wrexham & Shropshire as part of its normal diagram, and the other train was operated by Chiltern with a rather scratch set of stock. Since the demise of WSMR, more stock and locos have become available and the set from Birmingham strengthened to five coaches. It seems more LHCS services will be introduced from the new timetable starting in May 2011, and associated training runs have been taking place between Bicester, Banbury, Birmingham Moor Street and Stourbridge.Read More

In his Media Day press conference, head coach Hugh Freeze said senior Charles Sawyer, along with sophomore defensive tackle Issac Gross, were the furthest off, injury-wise. And junior Senquez Golson was held out of Saturday's practice after suffering a pulled hamstring yesterday.
Cornerbacks coach Jason Jones said they're trying to find two guys who are going to step up and be more consistent behind Sawyer and Golson on the two-deep, and with their two injuries, it's offered an opportunity to build depth at the position.
"He's out moving around, just trying to get him ready for the game," Jones said of Sawyer. "We know what we can do. He's been playing for a long time and has a lot of experience, so we're not going to rush him. With the [Vanderbilt] game a few weeks away, we can take time and develop these younger guys and develop some depth."
With Sawyer and Golson sidelined, senior Dehendret Collins and sophomore Quintavius Burdette got the bulk of first-team reps at cornerback. Both players are relatively new to the position, as Collins moved from Huskie during the spring, and Burdette moved from safety during the summer.
"We moved Dehendret, right at the end of spring, and he's done a great job for us," Jones said. "Him and Charles Sawyer, they are going to provide depth in the boundary. He's had two really good days.
"Q Burdette has been a great surprise for us. He worked hard all summer. You can tell. He came out to practice yesterday and today, and he's flying around, making plays for us. We're pleased with those two guys."
Two freshmen also got a lot of reps at cornerback, along with sophomore Anthony Standifer. Freeze said yesterday that Bobby Hill, one of the freshmen, will be a big plus, and Jones also had praise for Hill and the other freshman, David Kamara.
"Bobby Hill has done a great job for us," Jones said. "Right now, we have him working in the boundary. He's had two really good practices and I'm looking forward to him continuing to progress. I'm looking forward to him to contribute this year, so he will be guy that we will depend on.
"David is doing a great job for us also. He's in the field. We're still trying to see and make a decision about him. He's working hard, still learning coverages and things like that. We'll know more once we get pads and continue to practice."
With senior Pierce Burton dealing with a lower back strain, senior Emmanuel McCray moved from left tackle to right tackle, and freshman Laremy Tunsil got reps at left tackle on the first-team offense.
In some of the other offensive line drills, redshirt freshman Robert Conyers also got some first-team reps at right tackle, opposite McCray. Another freshman, Austin Golson, got second-team reps at left tackle.
The first-team defensive line consisted of junior Carlos Thompson and sophomore Channing Ward at defensive end, and junior Bryon Bennett and sophomore Woodrow Hamilton at defensive tackle.
Along with Bobby Hill at corner, freshmen Robert Nkemdiche (defensive end) and Tony Connor (Huskie) got reps on the second-team defense.
Freeze, on junior quarterback Bo Wallace: "His arm is hurting today, not where his shoulder was repaired, but his arm. To come out yesterday and throw a lot of balls, and come out today, it was sore, so we held him out about halfway through to try to get it well."
Freeze, on freshman defensive end Robert Nkemdiche: "He's physically gifted enough to play. It's all about, can he understand what we're trying to accomplish and what his assignments are. If he can get that, there's no question he can physically. They better be trying to get him ready."
Freeze, on freshman offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil: "He's as physically gifted as any freshman that I have seen, athleticism-wise. He's swimming right now with everything being installed. He's going to make mistakes, like any freshman, but he is a gifted player."
Freeze, on freshman tight end Evan Engram: "Evan is going to be a good one. Again, he's a freshman that is undersized at this point in his career, but he has got to play, and he's going to play. We just have got to be sure we ask him to do things that he can do."

Research Highlights
February 2010
PNNL Chief Scientist Addresses Congress on Geoengineering
Dr. Phil Rasch joins other panelists discussing the potential benefits, risks and costs of geoengineering
Results: Dr. Phil Rasch gave testimony on climate change geoengineering to the U.S. House of Representative Committee on Science and Technology in Washington, D.C., on February 4, 2010. He was asked to address the Subcommittee on Energy and Environment on Solar Radiation Management during a hearing entitled "Geoengineering II: The Scientific Basis and Engineering Challenges."
Rasch provided a baseline for discussion by explaining geoengineering research to date. Then, he discussed radiative forcing using stratospheric sulfate aerosol or marine cloud whitening, looking at elements of such as potential research options, how to deploy them, the potential positive and negative impacts of deployment, and how long the impacts might last.
Why it matters: The global temperature of the planet is determined by the balance between the energy absorbed from sunlight and the energy leaving the atmosphere as heat. The idea behind solar radiation management is finding a way to make the planet a little more reflective to sunlight, then less would be absorbed by the Earth, and the planet will be slightly cooler than it would otherwise be. So, solar radiation management is designed to cancel some of the warming that we expect from increasing greenhouse gas concentrations.
Hear a webcast of the testimony from Rasch and the other panelists.

Colonial Blend
I had a great conversation with my friend, Denise Frazier last night about distinct ethnic-cultural groups and their blending and shifting over time.
Denise is from Houston, but has personal and family ties to Louisiana and especially New Orleans, where we both went to school. Denise went to grad school for cultural studies, and I studied anthropology in undergrad, so we have a common interest in culture and heritage and we can both talk about the culture of the Mississippi Delta.
Culturally, the Delta is very different from this part of the South, and I think that many folks assume that the South is a bit more uniform than it actually is. Down there, they have an entirely different background and it really comes out in the present culture and identity of the whole area. For one thing, English-speaking people had very little to do with that area for the first hundred or so years of its existence as a thriving colony. And it wasn't just the French that had a stake in things, the Spanish were also an enormous influence. Throw on top of that a rich and powerful West African blend, various Native American groups, and sub-groups among the European colonists, and what you have is a very fertile medley of culture.
Mix that up for 300 years and you end up with a diverse blend with shades of many, many distinct groups. And as a result, the Delta has a distinct identity. It's a unique sub-set of Southern culture.
I love that culture, and I valued my time there greatly. But what I really want to take out of it is a better understanding of the dynamics in my part of the South: the Piedmont.
New Orleans and the rest of Louisiana use that culture to promote the area and to draw people in. Once people understand something about those cultural dynamics, they better appreciate the area and its quirks. So what are those things that make the Piedmont (and Spartanburg in particular) unique among places in the South?
Well for one thing, this area has been firmly controlled by English-speakers since the beginning of colonization. It's true that Spanish explorers roamed through here, but they never got around to planting crops and building houses. But despite that English-speaking uniformity, there were some distinct subsets. It's well known that the Scots-Irish form the backbone of the population here. These are mostly Lowland Scots who left Scotland for a brief stay in Ireland before being ferried over the Atlantic to settle in the hills between the wealthier English on the coast and the potentially dangerous Indians in the mountains. They got cheap land out of it, of course, but essentially they were the pawns of the English, who wanted a buffer. They had served the same function in Ireland, where they buffered the English from the Irish.
I could go on about the current political implications of local Scots-Irish descendants serving the interests of the wealthy without taking part in that wealth, but I'll leave that to another time, perhaps.
There are also a healthy number of true English folks here too. They got interested in the available land at the same time that the Scots-Irish were first settling this area in the 1750s and 1760s. But unlike the Lowcountry English, they were mostly family farmers without huge slave workforces.
Slave populations in the Piedmont were never as large as they were even in the Midlands, which is one reason that West African culture did not remain a strong influence in the Piedmont. Also, because the hills made transportation from the coast difficult, those with West African heritage here were more likely to be a generation or two removed from Africa. Essentially, the fresh supply of African-born slaves less often made it up this far. That meant that West African cultural traits had been diluted by time spent in America away from fellow tribesmen. That's not to say those traits had disappeared completely. Take a look at the WPA Slave Narratives recorded here in the 1930s to see some of the fascinating details of local slave culture.
There are other groups here too, of course. There are Lowcountry descendants of French Huguenots who came to teach at Wofford College, a scattering of Swiss-German settlers, folks with Cherokee blood who came down from the mountains to work in the textile mills, not to mention growing communities of Hmong and Hispanic immigrants.
So what does all that mean for local culture? I'm not even close to answering that question. Denise and I got our feet wet by trying to identify some local idioms that might be distinctive, but we could only think of a few. Have you heard any phrases or expressions that seem unique to Spartanburg or the Piedmont?

Chris King, BT's head of affiliate sales, gives us some thoughts on the telecoms and media group's online strategy and the growth prospects for the affiliate channel in a tough economic environment.
He also tells us how BT keeps the information flowing between it and super-affiliates, who of course play a big role in the company's sales efforts.
How is affiliate marketing managed within BT and why?
Across BT Group, we have a number of campaigns managed through different parts of the organisation. The majority of these campaigns have a nominated BT resource, which interfaces directly with our affiliate network partners Tradedoubler and Platform-A (Buy.at). Each campaign has a variable amount of BT resource assigned to it; often employees of BT Group have wider online and acquisition roles.
Within BT Retail, we have two business units managing affiliates campaigns. Our team runs the consumer campaigns, which consists of BT Total Broadband, BT Vision and Packages/Bundles. The only campaign BT has outsourced is BT Credit Card, which is managed by an agency. BT Business is currently running BT Business Broadband and BT Tradespace. Finally, two wholly owned subsidiaries of BT Group are running campaigns. These are Dabs and Plusnet.
Our team works both through our affiliate networks and (mostly) direct with our bigger affiliates. It makes more sense to work in this way as it's more efficient.
Where do you sit in the budget and organisational structure?
We sit within the consumer sales organisation. My understanding is that this is relatively unique in the industry, as affiliates predominantly sit within marketing departments. Our view is that to achieve high targets, individuals need to be motivated to drive sales.
What are you doing to move your affiliate programme forward?
We have a number of current initiatives, although I can't really go into too much detail. Certainly, we would like to bring more products and services to the channel to increase overall sales and make our offering in the marketplace more compelling. BT Vision and Packages/Bundles have only launched a few months ago and this demonstrates our commitment to the affiliates industry.
What are your key challenges?
The current economic environment is going to challenge all businesses. Entertainment in the home is usually one of the last things that customers will change. Fortunately for BT, we have an excellent broadband product, which is pushing the boundaries of flexibility, wireless and on the move connection. BT Vision, our broadband TV product, is also flexible and empowers customers to pick and choose what they want, rather than signing up to expensive monthly subscriptions.
How do you communicate with and manage super-affiliates? How big a role do they play in your programme?
Predominantly we manage our super-affiliates direct as it's easier, more efficient and frees up our networks' time to drive other incremental opportunities.
We provide direct account management to 15 affiliates. The level of account management varies. For our biggest affiliates, we have regular face to face meetings, and are constantly on the phone to them or communicating via email. It's key that we communicate constantly, so we can provide them with the tools they need to sell our products.
The super-affiliates receive the same level of account management as any other important partner in BT. Maintaining relationships is as hard as developing them, so we often invite them to social events to thank them for the excellent contribution.
Our super-affiliates play a major role in our programme. Within the broadband sector, PPC dominates and our super-affiliates have compelling and value added sites for customers. We are all seeking incremental volume and often this can be found through working harder with our super-affiliates, rather than new business opportunities.
What restrictions do you place on affiliates?
We only allow certain trusted and highly regarded affiliates to bid on our brand. Apart from that, all referrals into BT.com must be online. The end customer must place the order on BT.com, so we don't allow affiliates who are placing orders themselves. Occasionally, we do encounter some problems but there is an easy way for an affiliate manager to prevent this, and that is to set their commissions to zero.
Do you feel affiliate marketing has reached a plateau in the UK, especially considering the economic downturn?
No, I don't think affiliate marketing has reached a plateau in the UK. Certainly, the economic downturn is going to have an effect on everyone, with some sectors suffering more than others. The existing UK affiliate business will face challenges, but no more so than other retail business.
There are a number of major positives, however, for the affiliates industry. Firstly, the CPA model will look more attractive in an economic downturn, so I envisage that more merchants' budgets will be allocated to affiliates. Unlike other online media spend, the affiliate's channel has no financial risk as you know exactly what your costs are per sale.
Also, the beauty of affiliates is that if you are satisfied with your cost of sale, marketing is free. I can envisage finance directors coming more to the fore in the coming months, and surely they will warm to this method of customer acquisition.
Secondly, there are thousands of e-commerce sites that are not running affiliates. This represents a big opportunity for affiliate networks. Thirdly, innovation has been central to the development of the affiliates industry. Affiliates, affiliate networks and merchants have all had their part to play in this – affiliates through the nature of their businesses (often taking the CPC risk) have had to innovate to add customer value.
Affiliates have had to take some responsibility for conversion, and I know that some of them are developing really compelling applications for their sites and partner sites. Similarly, affiliate networks are continually innovating to provide the tools for affiliates to drive more traffic. They have set a benchmark and I envisage innovation to be central to their future strategy.
What are the pros and cons of using two affiliate networks?
The number of networks a merchant uses has to suit their business and most often how much resource they can dedicate. There is no point having two networks if you can't dedicate sufficient resource to achieve a successful partnership.
BT is fortunate to work with two excellent affiliate networks so I can't really comment on the cons. In short, the pros are; more opportunities for sales and traffic, more innovation, more opportunities for learning and it allows the affiliate a choice as to what network they would like to use.

For the first time, a majority of Republicans are saying that the war was "not worth fighting for," according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Public support of the war has been steadily declining, and not since December 2009 have more Americans said the war was worth it than not. Today, only 30 percent of Americans say the war was worth fighting for.
We'll see in coming weeks what effect this news has on the campaign trail, but it probably doesn't bode well for presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney. In the past, Romney has been reluctant to question the United States' commitment to Afghanistan. More recently, he said that he would need to consult with military leaders before coming up with a "firm decision" on whether to keep troops in the country.
Meanwhile, President Obama has pledged to remove combat troops from the country by the summer of 2012.
The same poll also shows that 53 percent believe that Obama would do a better job handling international affairs to Romney's 36 percent.
Here are some other highlights from the poll:
- 53 percent oppose Obama's healthcare law and 38 percent believe that the Supreme Court should throw it out completely.
- 28 percent blame American oil companies for high gas prices, while 26 percent blame other oil producing countries, and 21 percent blame the Obama administration.
- 70 percent say that jobs are still difficult to find, though that number is down from 82 percent in July of 2011.
- 76 percent believe the country is still in a recession.
- If the election were held today, Obama would defeat Romney 51-43.

If the Beatles were right and all you need is love, I'll take Morag Myerscough and Luke Morgan's version thank you very much. Built for the Festival of Love held in Southbank Centre, London (June 28 – August 31, 2014), The Temple of Agape is a visual feast. Neon colors, geometric patterns, and bold typography combine to make love a vibrant, exciting place to be.
The structures are inspired by those encountered by Myerscough in India and elsewhere in Asia where bamboo is used extensively for scaffolding as well as the Watts Towers in LA. The vibrant colours and handpainted lettering are similarly inspired.
Much of the success of the design is due to the restraint shown by Myerscough and Morgan, which may seem counterintuitive when looking at the riotous structure. Look closer, though, and you'll see that there is one typeface and one type treatment. The color palette is strictly controlled, a neon rainbow, plus pink, black, and white. All of the shapes are simple and geometric; even the counters of the letters are removed, streamlining the shapes of the letters. Minimizing the design elements allows the installation to be ebullient but not overwhelming.
The Festival celebrates the legalization of Same Sex Couple Act by choosing seven Greek words describing love. Myerscough and Morgan's were given Agape, a spiritual, selfless love; the love of humanity. Their temple represents the power of love to conquer hate.
"The Temple stands proud like a peacock with its giant Martin Luther King quote, expressing the power of love to the world," say Myerscough and Morgan. "Inside its heart is calm and dappled with light for contemplating complex emotions, a place that can transform with Love expressed within."
This is a temporary construction, which is a shame. The world could use more love, especially when it's executed so beautifully. (Via Creative Review) Photos by Gareth Gardner.

Microsoft Updates Windows 8, Internet Explorer 9 in Patch Tuesday
Microsoft fixed 19 vulnerabilities in November's Patch Tuesday update, four in Internet Explorer 9, and three in all versions of the Windows operating system, including the brand-new Windows 8.
The company released six bulletins, four of which have been rated critical, according to the Patch Tuesday notification advisory. Microsoft said the update for Internet Explorer (MS12-071) and all versions of the Windows operating system (MS12-075) were the most urgent.
Microsoft has released 76 patches so far for 2012, well below the number of patches released in 2011 and 2010, which is a "win" for IT administrators, said Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys.
Just Fixing Internet Explorer 9
The Internet Explorer patch closed three security flaws in Internet Explorer 9. The vulnerability doesn't affect all other browser versions, such as IE7, IE8, or IE10. The majority of enterprise users will not be affected as most of them will be running other versions, Kandek said. If left unpatched, attackers could exploit the IE9 flaws to launch drive-by-download attacks.
Microsoft rated the exploitability index as "1," indicating it expects an active exploit soon. No attacks have been observed in the wild at this time.
All Windows Versions Affected, Even Win8
The three remote code execution vulnerabilities in Windows kernel-mode drivers are related to the malformed font issues Microsoft has been dealing with for a while, said Paul Henry, security and forensic analyst at Lumension. A user on an unpatched system could be compromised by visiting a malicious page using specially-crafted TrueType font files.
This attack could succeed across multiple versions of Internet Explorer, said Marcus Carey, a security researcher with Rapid7.
Windows 8, which launched last month touting its new security features and defense-in-depth capabilities, is also affected by the TrueType flaw. In fact, three bulletins, MS12-072, MS12-074 and MS12-075, affect the newer Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 operating systems or components on the systems. Updates for Windows RT, the version of Windows 8 that runs on devices such as the Microsoft Surface, will be available through Windows Update.
Microsoft also released a patch for Windows 8 Release Preview and Server 2012 Release Candidate, despite the fact that both operating systems are now live and publicly available, said Jason Miller, manager of research and development at VMware.
"Stars Aligned" Attacks
While the bulletin for the .NET framework (MS12-074) was rated critical, Kandek said .NET applications are turned off by default in most deployments, making it less urgent for most organizations. The two vulnerabilities in Windows shell (MS12-072) could result in remote code execution if a user browses to a specially-crafted Briefcase in Windows Explorer.
These vulnerabilities are critical, but the complexity of exploitation and the specific configurations that need to be present for the attack to succeed means they pose less risk to most organizations, Carey said.
Carey called the attack scenario "The stars must all align attack vectors."
Microsoft rated the file format vulnerability fixed in Microsoft Excel (MS12-076) as "important," but Carey argued it should be the third urgent patch for most organizations because of the nature of the flaw and number of applications affected. When exploited, the attacker would inherit the same privileges as the current user and be able to execute code remotely. It was "fairly trivial" to escalate privileges once the attacker has user-level access, and if the targeted system has the user running with Administrator privileges, it's "game over," Carey said. And there are an "unhealthy number of people" running as Administrator on their machines, he noted.
"Any vulnerability in a popular application that allows Remote Code Execution should be high on any IT administrator's list to fix," Kandek agreed. The bulletin affects every version of Excel, except for Excel 2013 released this year.

The Fierce And The Dead sign to Bad Elephant Music for 2nd Album
"BEM is delighted to announce partnering with The Fierce And The Dead for the production, release and worldwide distribution of the band's second full-length album.
The Fierce And The Dead - guitarists Matt Stevens and Steve Cleaton, bassist and producer Kev Feazey and drummer Stuart Marshall - was originally born out of sonic experimentation when making Matt's second solo album, Ghost, and they've developed into one of the most original bands in the UK rock scene. Their unique brand of instrumental rock music, fusing rock, post-rock, punk and progressive elements, has made a big impression though one full-length album and two EPs, and their incendiary live performances, most recently as part of the Stabbing a Dead Horse tour of the UK with Knifeworld and Trojan Horse.
David Elliott, founder and CEO of Bad Elephant Music said: "We're proper made up to be working with The Fierce And The Dead. They're absolutely our kind of band, and lovely guys too. I'm looking forward to hearing what Matt, Kev, Stuart and Steve are going to produce for us, and of course it will be an absolute monster. Collaborating with a band of TFATD's calibre is a huge honour for us, and we welcome them with open arms to the BEM family."
Matt Stevens, on behalf of The Fierce And The Dead, said: "We are extremely pleased to partner with Bad Elephant on this album, they are true music lovers and believe in supporting the artist. This will allow us to make the music we want to make and have the support to help us gain a wider audience, without in anyway compromising our vision for our new album. And they like a good curry, which is nice."
The as yet untitled album is scheduled for release in the Autumn of 2013."
"Ghost is a phenomenal piece of work that has already garnered countless frothing plaudits within the online prog and post-rock firmament" Classic Rock Presents Prog

I agree. but note that if you use ROCKS, it insists on the other way round: It wants to always reinstall a node on power up *unless* it has a working bootable partition, and it deliberately trashes the boot sector on a clean boot - only replacing it if the node is shut down cleanly. The key point is that any machine that has state that should be kept (like a head node) should *never* PXE boot by default - possibly not even if the primary HDD won't boot properly - only PXE boot on human intervention. PXE booting is concept of trust - that you trust the machine upstream of you to have full control of you, to delete and reinstall whatever it wants.

[Page 50]
St. Lawrence, 13 July
Shot the first Pribiloff Sandpiper seen. Ned, F. + I went up to the left, along the edge of the tundra, + found the Longspur common, and got a few. We saw eiders, P. Sandp's -- + Ned got an Oldsquaw [female] -- Saw a tern, Jaegers, Kittiwakes, + a big gull, probably glaucescens. When we got back to the boat, other members of the party had phalarope ([male] Red) + dunlins, + Dr. M had 4 young swans, the adult of which had led Dr. Mer. a long and windy chase -- he taking them for polar bears, wh. are said to be abundant in St. Lawrence Id.

By Mark Storer '89
I remember finding myself kneeling in the dirt at a vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills near Lompoc, California, when I'd been writing about wine for a little over two years. I wasn't there for sunsets and beach houses, linen and fresh produce, or to make like Russell Crowe in A Good Year. Instead, the wine bug, as so many of us call it, was driving me to seek out what a life in wine really means, with the long days, the sales junkets and the low profit margins, as well as how the stuff is made and how it changes.
Like many others living in the world of wine, or on the outskirts, I've never made a living at it. I'm a teacher and freelance journalist who has a sommelier certificate to his name along with one amateur winemaking prize. I write feature stories and I teach high school students the finer points of Shakespeare if I can. There is symbiosis here, since the complexities of wine require study and provoke writing. Still, I'm only caught up in this because wine chose me.
Something similar happened to other Cal Lutheran graduates, many of whom have the bug worse than I do. I can't imagine why anyone supposes a life in wine resembles a tasting tour. From my observation, most people who have the bug reap modest, if any, financial rewards from the work they do. They frequently hold down two jobs or look for a tiny industry niche to avoid giving up on their dreams.
Take the Kasten family up in Napa. John '74 is an architect with his own business, Kasten Design, and Cynthia (Roleder '75, MBA '80) works as a human resources consultant after 21 years as personnel director for the City of Napa. She also teaches part time through Chapman University.
They got into wine in the 1980s with a group of amateurs at St. John's Lutheran Church in Napa who called themselves Leap of Faith Vintners, using a label with a Trinity symbol designed by John, who was an art major at CLU.
"One thing led to another and our all-consuming hobby took on a life of its own," Cynthia said.
Now Kasten Family Winery produces about 400 cases each year from a vineyard they own in the Oak Knoll region of Napa, mostly Bordeaux blends since varietals from that region of France do well in clay loam soil, according to Cynthia. They sell directly to consumers through their website and to local restaurants. The couple's daughters, Laura (Kasten '05) Solomon and Sarah Kasten '08, pitch in at the winery while maintaining day jobs of their own.
Four hundred cases of wine may sound like a lot, but not if you're trying to make a living from them. In one of the industry's ironies, many of the best wines are "boutique wines" that come from small producers who do not get rich and sit on the porch at sunset. Instead, they're crushing grapes in their garages or in small barns with flecks of paint peeling off, or in buildings with aluminum siding next to a metalworking company.
Like Cantara Cellars in Camarillo. Next to the little airport for private jets, Mike Brown, MBA '94, and his wife, Chris, have transfigured a humble industrial office space into a winery and tasting room that is named after the housing tract where they live in Moorpark. The Browns make 2,500 cases a year, including an elegant, balanced Chardonnay and a Zinfandel that I like as well as any I've tasted (disclosure: we are friends).
Still, just like the Kastens, Mike keeps his day job, as director of operations at a furniture manufacturer in Oxnard. That means very long hours during the harvest, when he travels five hours to Lodi and back again with all of Cantara's fruit. He is one of those lucky souls who grew up among vineyards, and his parents still live on the one in Lodi where he gets his Chardonnay.
There is anecdotal evidence that the wine bug infects children, possibly through the eyes. Kristen Kate Smith '05 grew up looking at the vineyards and scenery in Santa Maria. This spring, she moved with her husband to Paso Robles to run direct-to-consumer sales for Eberle Winery, after jobs at Cameron Hughes in the Bay Area and Laetitia Vineyard & Winery in Arroyo Grande.
"At its soul, it's an agricultural job and everyone is very grounded and, of course, the customers are positive and want to immerse themselves in the wine experience," Smith said. "I wanted to work in a place where I could soak up that kind of energy, and the wine business is that."
Things worked out this way in spite of Smith's double major in political science and history and her master's in international relations from Cal State Stanislaus. For a while she plied those degrees in jobs that left her exhausted and frustrated each week.
The wine bug lay dormant for 20 years or more in the system of Stephanie Ehlers '99, who grew up in Lodi where her father worked for Mondavi wines. "I saw harvests done all my life and I was always fascinated," she said, "but after a while, the appeal wore off."
Recruited to Cal Lutheran as an athlete, Ehlers studied communication but was unable to land a reporting job, so she went to work on a harvest to earn money. From there, she moved on to working in the lab, learning the science of winemaking known as oenology.
"At some point, you catch the grape bug, and I did and wanted to learn more so I went back to school," said Ehlers, who is earning a second bachelor's degree at UC Davis with a specialty in pest control.
Ninety percent of the wine produced in the U.S. goes to what's called the "bulk market." Larger winemakers and producers like Gallo buy grapes or grape juice from vineyards all over California, Oregon, Washington and elsewhere. That ultimately goes into the modestly priced bottles you find on grocery store shelves, and there's nothing wrong with them. They're a good bargain and some even taste pretty good.
But if you want to know the people who make the wine and taste what they've crafted, you're going to have to get down in the dirt like I did. The best wine experience comes with that discovery of the little tasting room off a country road where a family or friends have a wooden plank between a couple of barrels and are pouring wine into small glasses for you. You can ask them how they work with farmers, or farm the land themselves, to produce sustainable, serious wine.
In one such place, a nondescript industrial building down a dusty road in Atascadero, Keith Nichols, MBA '83, keeps his "upside-down wine cellar." That is, since there are no real basements to be had on the Central Coast, he has the wine upstairs. If you go, you might get the opportunity to walk up and choose a bottle yourself to taste with Nichols.
And you might not realize right away what a rare treat you're in for. Nichols Winery is the only spot in the United States where his labels are sold. Fourteen years ago, he learned about international trade in California wines and decided to start selling his own in Japan.
Now he travels and markets wine to Canada, Singapore, Taiwan, China, Korea and Vietnam and is trying to get into Malaysia as well as Indonesia. "Once I started doing that, I didn't spend much time going from state to state," he said, "because in the U.S., the distributors make all the rules."
So, after many years of night school, travel and teaching himself viticulture from books, Nichols has become one of the few CLU alums who makes his living in wine, "a dream come true." That doesn't mean he's making a lot of money at it, but he does it full time.
Like many winemakers, he doesn't own expensive vineyard land but sources the fruit. He buys multiple varietals from designated blocks at vineyards "from up near Monterey all the way down the Central Coast."
At the Atascadero winery, my wife and I tried a rich 2000 Chardonnay, equally balanced between acidity and oak with a creamy texture and a fruit-forward finish. It defies the odds at 14 years old because American white wines don't usually get stored that long. Nichols said he's found that keeping his wines in bottles past 10 years gives them character he loves.
As much as a career, people who make a life in wine view it as a destination. They want to end up someplace they love to be.
"We picked this business," Brown said. "We sat down and said, When the kids get out of school and funds become available, what kind of business do we want to create and maybe retire in? If you have to find a place to spend time in, a winery isn't a bad place to do it."
When Smith changed career paths, she wasn't looking for a wine job, "but I knew I wanted something that made me happier." Her latest position has her working again with a winery that sells to consumers from its own vineyards.
"I joke with my husband all the time and tell him I will never retire," she said. "I love the wine industry. When I'm 80, I'll be working in some little tasting room somewhere."
I'm with Smith. My wife and I have said for years that we could easily find ourselves in vineyard country working in a tasting room and selling wine. So after you've visited Brown and Nichols and made an appointment with the Kastens, look for the two of us along one of those dusty roads on the Central Coast, where we'll be seeking out quiet upstarts who have a few barrels fermenting and a dream.
Competing against other amateurs with a good friend, Mark Storer won a gold medal at the 2008 Mid-State Fair for a Spanish-style Tempranillo made from local Paso Robles grapes. He lives in Camarillo with his wife, Susan, daughter, Shannon, an assortment of pets and the wine stash he's collected along the West Coast.

FN Forty-Nine, right side
FN Forty-Nine (9mm), left side
FN Forty-Nine is a modern service handgun, intended primary for police/security use. It is recoil-operated, locked breech firearm that uses improved Browning linkless locking principle. The gun is striker fired, and unlike many other striker-fired guns, like Glocks, Forty-Nine is a true DAO gun, with availability of re-striking the misfired cartridge simply with another trigger pull. The striker is completely at rest until the trigger is pulled, so gun is safe. It has no external safety switches or decockers for simplicity and readiness to use. The main drawback of this system is long and heawy trigger pull - almost 10 lbs (ca. 4.5kg).
The frame of the gun is made from black polymer, the slide is made from stainless steel. Gun also has acessory rails on the frame under the barrel, for quick and easy mounting of the laser designators and flashlights.

On The Street…..Bleeker Street, New York

"She Looks Like a Doilie"
The dress is quite cute, with the neck ruffle-thingy balancing the length of the pleats. While we're at it, someone give her a pie, quick!
Lovely! …nice balance between girly and sexy… a modern victorian doll
I also love how she does not sport a tan with this summer dress. Not only does it emphasize "classic victorian", it simply is fresh to see someone work with their natural skin tone (what beautiful skin too!).
She looks interesting and somewhat mysterious. A fashionable apparition. Well done.
that dress is amazing.
her legs are so long that they look fake. it's like the magician sawing a woman in half trick standing up
So apparently every woman in New York is 7 feet tall. I think if I stood next to her I'd barely reach up to her waist.
That being said, that dress is adorable! And I'm glad I'm not the only one who sometimes finds it necessary to carry two bags at once.
What an amazing Prairie dress – she has the waist for such gathers and frills! Lovely!
I love it!
She looks great!
That is extraordinary. To be honest I have absolutely no idea whether I like it or not. It's still extraordinary though. I'd have photographed her too!
I agree that she'd look great in anything, though I do like the dress. And, speaking as a naturally skinny gal who recognizes another, a pie probably wouldn't do anything to her except taste good. And maybe stain that dress.
she certainly looks lovely, but i think the lipstick makes the outfit.
I live in NYC and I never see such gorgeous people. Where do you FIND them????
she is beautiful and I love that she is comfortable with fair skin. however, the frills do not seem to suit her. it feels as though the dress is wearing her vs. her wearing the dress…
I know that this woman is young, but I think the dress is too young for her. I think if a girl is past 20, this dress should not be rocked.
That said, this woman is insanely gorgeous and those legs…wow-ie!!
I have looked at this pic now for some time….speachless.
wearing white, she seems to be the modern personification of the missing divine feminine godess.
And another NYC street with nobody on it but her. I sense her power and beauty, yeah the people must scatter.
Except Sarto, standing there, bearing witness. Whew! If you need a clapper/loader, I am available.
Yeah, she looks great, but I'm with the 7:07 commentator, someone feed the girl!
She does look great, but I want to know when we'll see the female counterpart of the bald fat man?
cute legs but i fear they look like they may snap!
She fancies herself a Chloe girl, which she is. Good for her.
the dress is amazing, great example of girly done well. Unfortunately, i dont think the length is very flattering on her at all. Perhaps she is too tall? It looks like it should be knee length…
i love it.
"The dress is quite cute, with the neck ruffle-thingy balancing the length of the pleats. While we're at it, someone give her a pie, quick"
…and some sun tan wouldn't hurt…
i love all your gentlemen pics but surely there exists a world beyond fledgling models in ny? i live in tokyo where you definitely have the full spectrum of style and would enjoy seeing, as another reader aptly describes 'ms bald fat guy' with panache.
The way city-summer should always look while sun's up!
I agree that a female variation of the "bald fat man" would be refreshing. This girl is great but anything would look good on her.
I love the way she is wearing white and her skin is so pale!
Not even a trace of fake tan!
Is she carrying 2 bags? Or just been shopping? I've often seen women with 2 handbags? Is it for switch-a-roo during the day? Or just not enough room to carry it all?
Is this the same girl from the May 22nd post??
hmmm what a girl!!!
I always snark about how the women you choose are too skinny but this woman fits her body completely. What a great picture.
The dress looks like one from Australian designers Camilla + Marc from a few seasons ago.
she's clearly naturally skinny, so i'm not going to say anything about feeding her pie, but, what is going ON with her right ankle? it looks like she's about to snap her leg off.
dress = cute, a bit to small on her yes but that's what we tall girls have to suffer with; but i so wish the massive ruffled collar wasn't so little girlish. or that there was a bit more of something around her face (fabulous earrings?) to offset the child-like quality of it.
Looks great.
I suspect that many (not all) women who don't fit their or others' idea of how their bodies 'should' look tend not to dress as stylishly and call attention to themselves with their clothes, so they're less likely to be the kind of stylishly dressed woman Sartorialist captures. Whereas we guys don't care, if we're fat and bald and ugly, we'll still try to show our stuff. C'mon larger women, you all are hot too — show us what you got!
Love your blog but don't like this post — dress is cute and all and agree with another poster that the lipstick makes the shot — but she is way too skinny (whether naturally or self-induced) and to me doesn't project a healthy trim … just skinny. I have lived in NYC and have seen plenty of size 8-12 women look great, can we some of those photos please?
gorgeous dress but not on her, she's far too pale
i love how this fits her…but the white doesnt look good with her extremely pale skin
I love the dress and the fact that the fit is slightly off – too small in the bodice and too short in the hem. Her lip stick and pale skin really sets off the look. I would just lose the bulky bags – have someone else carry them for her – on the other side of the street.
This is lovely, and even the way her legs look twisted incorrectly
makes it look like a mannerist painting! Very cool,.ing
Pretty woman. I like her pale skin against the white dress.
me no likey the frilly shawl collar thing around her neck.
IMO the dress would look infinitely better if it were either spaghetti straps or strapless.
that dress is darling on her.
Maybe she has filled out a bit since 2006, but she does have nice long legs and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that!!
