Google+ and the 333.
Trust a creative to turn a mundane commute on the bus into a cool photography project. Not content to simply bide his time from Bondi Beach to Circular Quay, Mark creative Chris is using the 333 bus route as the centrepiece of his photography project by taking a photo every day for 333 days.
While most of us are daydreaming out the bus window, Chris is capturing the day on his iPhone4. The idea came about after spotting two girls chatting against a love heart scrawled wall. The scene was too perfect not to shoot and a few days later the connection to the bus route and photography project came together while out in the surf.
From gritty construction sites and graffiti walls to beautiful beach vistas and cityscapes, there's a little something for everyone. But you won't find his shots on Facebook or Instagram, instead Chris has chosen to showcase his images exclusively on Google+. Chris explains that not only is Google+ easy to use with functionality for mobile uploads, it's home to an active photography community. The ability to make albums 'public' allows for greater sharing and enables networks of strangers to stay connected through common interests.
Currently tipping the uploads at 100, we're looking forward to the level of creativity that Chris is going to need to muster for the remaining 200 or so images. When asked about his plans for number 333 he alluded to a shot of him and the bus driver. And with a gallery night on the cards to showcase the project offline, we can't wait to see 333 bus route brought to life.
See life from the 333 on Google+

Economy too bad to get any worse?
Some observers say we'll avoid a double dip because things are already so miserable.
The key sectors of the economy that normally are recession indicators are extremely depressed. Car sales are pathetic. Housing construction is miserable. Things are so bad, in fact, there's nowhere to go but up.
So, uh, that's good news? "It doesn't rule out a recession," one economic researcher told Bloomberg. "It just makes it less likely than otherwise."He puts the chance of a double dip at 1 in 4.
The news service interviewed a former Fed governor who put the chance of a double-dip at 35%. That's up from the 10% to 20% range a month ago. Even if we avoid sliding back into recession, he said, we'll probably see the economy grow by less than 2% for some time.
In the end, does it really matter? Double dip or slow, disappointing recovery -- either way, we're in for a prolonged period of pain.

Date Reviewed: July 24, 2013
Strengths: Aesthetically pleasing, good back of the head protection
Weaknesses: Venting
Bottom Line:
I've worn this helmet nearly every day since November of 2012. Since then, the black part of the padding has peeled off on one side, so the velcro will only stick to one of the sides. I'm not going to say that it's poor quality since I do unload buckets of sweat into it.
Anyhow, if you feel this type of helmet suits your riding, go for it. I do not think it's a good "all arounder" helmet though.

Bike Setup: Kona Stink-E e-bike
Date Reviewed: May 10, 2012
Strengths: Price, comfort, SUPER light weight. Safety, bang for the buck.
Weaknesses: Strap. Its not bad and ive gotten better at adjusting it. But the behind the ear straps slightly rub my ear. I have big ears, and im an inbetween on helmet sizes. Not a major issue by any means.
Bottom Line:
Regular XC helmets dont leave me feeling safe enough for my dumbass. This was a good compomise. Plenty of behind the head protection. Its not too hot. Very comfy, and light weight. The value was all there, and it has more vents, and a little more style(Almost german ww2 army helmet) than a regular skate helmet.
I probaby look like a big nerd wearing it, but people already give me dirty looks for riding a single speed rigid. But for me it leaves me with the same sense of confidence as my full face and not being afraid of flying through rock gardens, and trees. Lets face it, when you ride hard, your going to crash. When I go OTB i like to get back up.

Strengths: Lightweight for so much coverage
Molded in shell in construction yields a durable helmet
Weaknesses: One size fits all - worked for me, but only with the thick pad set
Limited adjustability - may be an issue for some folks, but not so much for me
Foam pads can disintegrate over time, but Fox is good about sending replacements
Limited venting, but that's the price of structural integrity

Weaknesses: Hot, venting is mediocre at best
single hit/use
Bottom Line:
I was very pleased at first at how light it is
Got a little hot here and there but not bad,
However I took a crash, landed head first from undershooting a 7 foot double and got a concussion. Honestly I expected more from the Helmet.
A bruised scalp is one thing but at speeds under 15mph and hieghts under 10ft I like to think most helmets on the market can prevent concussion.
Guess not.

RM Flatline, 888 WC
Date Reviewed: March 22, 2009
Strengths: - light weight (just like a XC helmet, definintely lighter than other skate-style helmets)
- strap attachment (straps are attached to the helmet kinda like $100+ Giro X-Gen)
- fit (this is personal)
Weaknesses: - cambuckle pieces (design doesn't allow the straps to open wide below the ears; integrity is poor that it naturally broke off on its own after 7th month - will need some aftermarket cambuckle replacements from REI)
- no outter shell layer (makes it light-weight, but dings very easily when hitting tree branches)
Bottom Line:
The only gripe is its cambuckle pieces. Adjustment allowed to wide-open the starps below ears is limited (straps touching the ears annoying), then these broke off naturally (on its back-side / cheek-touching side) on its own, after 7 months. I'll have to go get something like these (http://www.rei.com/product/612227) from REI to replace them now - hopefully they'll work.
Except for the cambuckles, this helmet has been great for me, and is a keeper (once replacing these lil' pieces).

How to Manage Pests
UC Pest Management Guidelines
Black scale adult females are about 0.2 inch (5 mm) in diameter and dark brown or black with a prominent H-shaped ridge on the back. Young scales are yellow to orange crawlers and are found on leaves and twigs of tree. A hand lens is usually needed to detect the crawlers. Black scales are in the soft scale family (Coccidae) and usually have one generation per year in interior valley olive-growing districts. In cooler, coastal regions multiple generations occur. Black scale prefers dense, unpruned portions of trees. Open, airy trees rarely support populations of black scale.
Young black scales excrete sticky, shiny honeydew on leaves of infested trees. At first, affected trees and leaves glisten and then become sooty and black in appearance as sooty mold fungus grows on the honeydew. Infestations reduce vigor and productivity of the tree. Continued feeding reduces bloom the following year. Olive pickers are reluctant to pick olive fruits covered with honeydew and sooty mold.
Biological control and pruning to open up closed canopies are key to managing black scale. Monitor to detect the presence of honeydew on leaves and track black scale population levels in olive groves. Control ants using bait stations in the orchard because they disrupt biological control.
Biological Control
Cultural Control
Organically Acceptable Methods
Monitoring and Treatment Decisions
Sample for adult scales in May, focusing on two to three areas in each block, particularly those that have had scale problems in the past. First, select 10 trees in each area. Count the number of adults on the terminal 18 inches of 10 branches on each tree; be sure to include the lower, inner, and outer sections of the tree. Sum the numbers of black scale in each 10-branch sample and divide by the number of branches sampled to determine the infestation level. Infestations fall into one of four levels: light (0 to fewer than an average of 1 per branch sampled), moderate (1 to 4), heavy (4 to 10), and severe (more than 10).
Light infestations typically do not require treatment in open-canopy orchards. Closed-canopy orchards should be pruned and an application of a dormant oil considered.
Moderate infestations may occur following a cool summer or within a closed orchard canopy. This level of scale infestation typically does not cause damage; however, it presents the potential for substantial damage and economic losses the next year. In trees with open canopies, the scale population should decrease or remain stable, depending on summer temperatures. If the summer is mild, apply a narrow range oil. If trees in the orchards have closed canopies, prune them and apply oil or an oil/insecticide combination treatment.
Heavy infestations can cause economic damage; if left untreated, the next generation will inflict substantial crop loss. Heavy infestations are rare in open canopies, but orchards with closed canopies must be pruned, chemically treated, or both.
Severe infestations occur in closed-canopy orchards in which treatment of moderate or heavy scale infestations is delayed. Economic loss can be extensive. Prune the orchard, removing severely damaged branches, and treat with an insecticide. The best application timing is after egg hatch to treat the crawlers (mid-July) but before August to avoid damage to the following year's crop.

Succulent plants, including those from the cactus family, have highly specialized anatomy to enable them to survive prolonged drought. Succulents may store water in various structures, such as leaves and stems. (A cactus is a succulent plant, but not all succulents are cacti.)
Succulents thrive in containers, such as the classic terracotta pot and other ceramic, metal and wood containers.
I have succulents growing in all sorts of things. Many of my succulent "pots" aren't really made to grow anything in them, but if it can hold dirt and water, give me a hammer and nail to poke holes in the bottom and I'll grow a succulent in it.
I even have a gold-tooth aloe in a tin vegetable can that has a colorful label. I think nothing is cuter — and more willing to grow — than a plant in a can that has a picture of the Jolly Green Giant on the label.
Some of my favorite plants are growing in colorful little tin pots from the dollar store, too.
Trailing plants, such as burro's tail, chartreuse sedum, string of pearls, fish hooks senecio, stacked crassula and pork-and-beans, look great in hanging baskets or tall containers.
Cacti and other succulents make great indoor plants. My living room gets morning sunlight and has areas of bright sunlight, indirect light and filtered light that showcase Christmas cacti, tall mother-in law's tongues (Sansevieria), blooming kalanchoes, different types of aloes and donkey's tail.
Try using your imagination when growing succulents in the ground, by intermixing them with rocks, driftwood or metal sculptures among aptenia or sedum ground covers.
Solar lights can be used to highlight plants with unique silhouettes. Anemone, mini pine trees, agave, any type of aloe and even barrel cactus can be emphasized by backlighting to reveal dramatic shadows against a wall.
I hope this column has sparked your interest in growing cacti and succulents. Now I will answer the age-old question: Why did the cactus cross the road?
Because he was stuck to the chicken.

How to beat the Wikipedia blackout
Bring the facts back with one quick change to your browser settings
The English-language version of the website has been taken down for 24 hours in protest against two anti-piracy laws currently being debated by the US Congress.
But although Wikipedia is hidden behind a blackout page for the day, it's not completely disappeared.
One page of the site remains accessible - an article which explains what the protest is about and what the anti-piracy bills (known as Sopa and Pipa) could mean for internet users.
On that page, Wikipedia also explains how others can join the protest and states, "Our purpose here isn't to make it completely impossible for people to read Wikipedia, and it's okay for you to circumvent the blackout. We just want to make sure you see our message."
As Wikipedia says, there are ways to continue using the site today and it's actually very easy to do so. For one thing, Wikipedia has not blacked out its mobile version - so if you run a search on a smartphone with internet access, you can browse the site in full.
Cluley goes on to show how Firefox users can get around the blackout using the NoScript add-on.
But if you're on Internet Explorer, it's just as easy to get back into Wikipedia. First, open up the 'Internet options' box. In IE9, this means clicking on the Tools icon at the top right of your window, then clicking on Internet options.
Now click on the Security tab and click on the Restricted sites icon. Click on the Sites button to open the Restricted sites window. Type http://en.wikipedia.org into the box at the top (if you're on the Wikipedia page, this will already be filled in).
Now click the Add button, then Close, then OK. And that's it. Adding Wikipedia to your list of restricted sites blocks it from running scripts, so all those handy facts are once again at your fingertips.
All the facts: why Wikipedia has shut down today
So Wiki is against the anti piracy laws the US intends to bring in. Well I have two comments. Firstly are Wiki saying it's OK to pirate films and music that the rest of us buy?
Secondly they bought this in to law in France last year. Where was Wiki then? I don't remember them blacking out the French Wiki site. Ah but then Wiki, Microsoft and Google are not based in France are they. They are only interested in protecting themselves in the US and the rest of us can kiss our own ars*s. Typical bloody Americans, me, me, me as always.
LMAO, i think this site has demonstrated such an obvious irony!
1. Wikipedia block there entire website in protest of having certain parts of the internet subject to censorship.
2. Not even a whole 24 hours passes before somebody realises how to get passed the protest and access what he wants to see and posts it to the world.
In conclusion, let the **** politician pass there bill, it isn't worth the paper its written onto, the future is technology, no force on heaven or earth could act quickly enough to shutdown any/every site on the internet before another one crops up or somebody works out how to get around the block...
What your essencial looking at here is a cold war between a couple of hundred short sighted politicians and the ENTIRE world... I know where my money is...
LOL @ the previous indignant comments !
Do you honestly think this lame excuse for a protest is actually going to make a difference? Of course not!
If you really feeling that 'outraged' then time to get off your liberal hippie butts and get out there making your voice heard loud and clear!
However we know you won't be doing this, the extent of your indignation is a protest comment on here - which also will not make any diffierence!
computers and internet, what a joke.
i know im online doing it right now, and i know the goverment is watching and secret organizations are watching, date collecting almost everywhere nowadays.
why do you think they want braodband everywhere, the internet was created in america by the defence, do some history people. I learnt whilst out college about the creation of the LAN. So i believe the internet is full and massively corrupt. Just like everything else we take it and we turn it into a lie and corruption, nothing but greed once again.
Pay per clicks anyone, look it up. Selling of you private address,s and telephone numbers and postcode online, yep i know you think it does not happen, for god sake wake up will, even job agency people do this day in and day out, then you never hear from them again, its not what you can see, its what you can,t see where you should be putting your concentration, you would be suprised what you find when you dig deep enough.
almost nobody can be trusted anymore.

The designer of all things bello, including stunning packaging and branding for the likes of Jean-Georges, Tiffany & Co. and Sarabeth's, turns her Italophilic eye to signage in the pages of Grafica della Strada, out this month from Princeton Architectural Press. The chunky yet compact book is a photographic diary of sorts, revealing the most inventive restaurant, hotel, street, and advertising signs spotted by Fili over three decades' worth of Italian travels. "These signs chart the highs and lows of Italian typography, from a classically elegant gold leaf script for a Turin jewelry store to a very spirited (and unreadable) type rendered in orange and blue dimensional plastic letters for a shop selling doormats in Rome," notes Fili by way of introduzione. "From the sublime to the ridiculous, each and every one, in its unique way, is dear to me."
Take a break from your perpetually overstuffed inbox to contemplate the future of email with the help of Six Monkeys, an exploration of our interactions with email through Internet-connected objects. Commissioned by Mailchimp (hence the simian theme: each of the objects is named after a famous chimpanzee used in linguistic research), the project considers how we might change our relationship to email by placing it within our everyday spaces, with the help of kinder, gentler gadgets.
Will Avenir live happily after in the strong yet graceful arms of Adobe Garamond Pro? Can Martha Stewart-y Archer ever make it work with Eurostile? See for yourself by playing Type Connection, a fontastic online dating game created by designer Aura Seltzer. Choose a single and get ready to mingle by selecting one of four strategies for finding a good match for your bachelor or bachelorette typeface. In addition to honing typeface-pairing skills, players explore typographic terminology and brush up on type history. Meanwhile, you'll never look at Gil Sans the same way again -- the British octogenarian is revealed to be an emotional eater who wears quirky spectacles.
Between Quirky and Kickstarter comes Mvstard, which aims to offer a new way to discover, shop for, and support design. Launched yesterday to coincide with London Design Week, the web-based platform was born out of a frustration with the current process for getting product to market. "We found it difficult to introduce new products at a sensible cost without scale, and tough to get scale without big investment," says founder James Coombes. "We believed there was a better way." Sign up to help solve the chicken-and-egg scale issue and directly support designers by committing to pre-purchase products you love. The opening selection includes an iPhone-charging desk lamp, a mobile made of varnished leaves, and a nifty cast-aluminum stool.
Order up some delicious inspiration with Menu Design in America, 1850–1985, published by Taschen. Design writer Steven Heller provides the appetizer, an introduction on the history of menu design, but the main course consists of almost 800 color graphics from vintage menus. And for dessert? Fascinating captions by the book's editor, Jim Heimann, who reveals the backstories of defunct establishments and calls out oddities such as the mention of "Eastern Oysters" on the menu of a San Francisco eatery. "The menu has gone beyond a mere element of a restaurant to a marketing tool, a branding opportunity, an indicator of cuisine, a barometer of taste, and a highly sought piece of ephemera," writes Heimann in his foreword. Creative types are sure to work up an appetite perusing the jumbo-sized coffee table tome, so avoid reading it on an empty stomach.
Why should square and rectangular frames have all the fun? Advocating for a more well-rounded distribution of shapes is Hamburg-based Jo Marie Farwick, creator of "Everything Looks Better in Circles." The delightful Tumblr reveals the fetching results that only an angle-free profile can provide, whether in showcasing an Eames House Bird perched on a log, a beach scene, or a veritable army of kittens.
Let there be...Loomi! The modular, makeable, paintable, recyclable light is a design-minded DIYer's dream. It arrives in pieces: 33 quadrilaterals of sturdy matte card stock that can be interlinked to create lights of all shapes and sizes. "It's not that hard! Honest," promise the Brooklyn-based team of friends who developed Loomi—with the help an expired Danish patent from the 1970s and a successful Kickstarter campaign. "If you follow our instructions, you'll be up and lighting in about 20 minutes. And remember, you only have to build it once!"
Next time you encounter an egregious misuse of Comic Sans (i.e., pretty much anytime the font is used), get the offender into typographic rehab with Comic Sans Criminal. London-based designer Matt Dempsey created the cheeky online primer to explore the myriad inappropriate uses of the widely loathed font. Visitors get a bit of backstory on Comic Sans, a quick review of its acceptable and unacceptable contexts, and finally, the opportunity to pledge that they will exercise caution in all future use.
The work of Ralph Steadman took a turn for the Gonzo in the 1970s, when the British-born artist and illustrator teamed up with Hunter S. Thompson to respond to "the screaming lifestyle of America." He never looked back. See the world through his creativity-crazed eyes in For No Good Reason, a documentary now available on DVD and iTunes. Made over the course of 15 years by director Charlie Paul and narrated by Johnny Depp, the film is an animated, image-soaked, and ultimately uplifting wild ride through Steadman's career and aesthetic.
"Type is speech on paper. Typeradio is speech on type." That's the mantra of the must-listen-to radio channel on type and design. Tune in -- via the Typeradio Micro FM broadcast, MP3 Internet radio stream or podcast -- for font-themed questions, answers, performances, events, and talks online and onstage. Recent guests on the broadcast include leading creative minds from around the world, such as Rick Poynor, Paul Sahre, Simon Garfield and Irma Boom.

I planted several cucumbers from seed in my garden last month (in Louisiana), they are coming up but the leaves are more yellow then green. Whats up?
How do I safely get rid of mealy bugs?
I urgently need a non-toxic way to encourage the woodchuck family living under the shed to please move out of our yard! Last year they ate everything.

I have a few questions...we've planted our first in-the-ground garden (now that we have bought our first home) Tomatoes are coming along well, but...
1. When should I plant arugula (Central CA). It was a good crop but already went to seed. We planted in Feb.
2. Although most herbs say "full-sun" I'm starting to think they don't mean full Central CA (i.e. hot) sun. What temp. do herbs do best at? Should they be in partial shade?
3. What is eating my melons? They look so sad.
4. I've planted several varieties of onions (spanish yellow, red, green) and they are growing, but the stems are relatively limp, not like the robust stems at the farmers market or even grocery store. How long should I leave onions in the ground and how should they be watered so they don't mold?
Thanks for any help.

I would like advice on how to control pests naturally on tomatoes, lettuces etc. in my container garden on a shared deck.

i'm with intyrrell. i *would* love this book, but would also love some help/feedback in general. my problem is always one of planning: i can do the physical layout of the (very wee, largely container) garden just fine, but have a really hard time with the timeline.

There's too many weeds to just toss them in the trash--I'm talking probably when I'm done the equivalent of 30 trash bags of weeds--so what do I do with all of this green stuff? Can I mulch it? Thanks!
If I grow mint in a container, can I grow anything else with it?
My question is: Why do most of my purple kohlrabi plants refuse to form bulbs? I've searched and asked all over about this and can't find an answer - and I can't live without kohlrabi! : )
I'm looking for the best way to amend my soil to add calcium to where I plant my tomatoes. Most calcium rich amendments drastically throw off the pH, so something which doesn't do that would be awesome.

I'd like to figure out how to best prepare a bed for asparagus, and what sort of ongoing maintenance it will need.

Can mushrooms be grown in direct sunlight?
I told my husband that there is no way he can grow artichokes in Michigan, but he wouldn't listen to me, and they are already starting to srpout. Could it be possible?

Where do I begin??! I would love to start growing my own veggies and herbs but it all seems so overwhelming.
Would love some examples of organic fertilizers that are easy to use and instructions on how to use them for my veggie garden.
My question is whether topsoil is needed in a vegetable bed. I'm starting my first one and have been told that a mix of peat, vermiculite and compost will do the trick!
I can never quite get my hands around when to remove my seedlings from the mini-greenhouse (okay, glorified tupperware) into smaller pots and then from smaller pots into the actual garden. I'm in PA but have an "urban" garden with lots of light, warmth and protection. Help...
How can you deter rabbits, squirrels and chipmunks from eating your veggie garden?
We live in a townhouse, so I'm forced to container garden. Plus, we're hoping to sell our house and move this summer, so this way the garden can come with us. But, everything I've put outside so far has been eaten by animals or damaged by the lawnmowers (I think - this was last fall when it happened to some leafy plants that were on a our concrete slab of a patio far enough away to avoid damage, but they still got pretty beat up by something). Also, I have a very brown thumb when it comes to container gardening.
So, what herbs and veggies and flowers (I like all three) can I plant that are hardy, and what can I do to prevent the neighborhood rabbits (and whatever else it is that is eating my plants) from destroying my garden?

Half of my tomato seedlings live, the other half never germinated or suddenly wilted and died when they did. Of the ones that still live, they've been tiny little seedlings for weeks and don't grow! Is this normal? What am I doing wrong?
I'm about to transplant a VERY healthy sage plant that is growing VERY fast (I've affectionately taken to calling it "the sage that ate Sandusky). This is the second time I've repotted it to a bigger pot in only ten months, though, and I'm wondering: a) is there something I can or should be doing to slow the growth, or b) should I just pat myself on the back and prepare to eat a lot of turkey stuffing and cheddar-sage cheese spreads?
What is eating my swiss chard & eggplant and how can I put a stop to it? Also, what organic pest deterrents can I use on my herbs that won't then ruin their flavors?
Is there any way to identify microclimates in the yard without long seasons of trial and error?
How do I get things to grow in our subtropical climate during the summer?
How do I get the squirrels to stop digging in my containers of veggies!
I want to plant asparagus, but I've read that it takes years for the plant to yield. I've also read that you're supposed to rotate asparagus like any other crop. How do you rotate a plant to doesn't yield for years without killing it or retarding its development?

What's a fool-proof way to ensure proper amounts of watering throughout the season? Our cucumbers are always bulged and bitter, I think it's to do with watering.
I'm growing tomatoes on my balcony for the first time, (kind of an experiment to see if it even works) so all of my gardening questions are about tomatoes!

This book would definitely come in handy then!

Not so fast, says none other than Twitter co-founder Biz Stone on the Twitter blog from a June 6th post entitled "Not Playing Ball". As you can guess from the title Stone is not going to sit back and let the rumor mill take this one. If the word is out that Twitter will settle on suits for this kind of activity (suing for the 'damage' caused by impersonation accounts) it could open a flood of ambulance chasing legal shenanigans that could cripple a company like Twitter. Stone writes
Reports this week that Twitter has settled a law suit (sic) and officially agreed to pay legal fees for an impersonation complaint that was taken care of by our support staff in accordance with our Terms are erroneous. Twitter has not settled, nor do we plan to settle or pay.
With due respect to the man and his notable work, Mr. La Russa's lawsuit was an unnecessary waste of judicial resources bordering on frivolous. Twitter's Terms of Service are fair and we believe will be upheld in a court that will ultimately dismiss Mr. La Russa's lawsuit.
OK. So how do you really feel Biz? It probably was enough to say that Twitter handled the matter in a professional manner and has no intention of settling because its terms of service are solid. It's an interesting tactic, however, to try to help the courts see these kind of cases the way Twitter does rather than letting the court come to its own decision for this area of law. Until a judge calls this kind of activity frivolous and a waste of judicial resources it actually isn't. There is no real law around these issues as of yet (if there is please tell us) and the legal system usually likes to determine the actual merit of cases and not let business owners do it for them. I've watched plenty of Law & Order episodes so please don't question my authority here ;-).
So this saga will continue for a bit apparently. The net result for now is that the account is down. Now, considering that the Sun-Times is one of the outlets that reported a settlement, you have to take the next bit of information from them with a grain of salt. If true, however, it says more about this than anything else: the fake account with Tony LaRussa's name had collected a whopping 4 followers. Looks like even fake Twitter accounts are as active as most legitimate Twitter 'users'.

Library Launches New Fee System
Published on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - 2:17pm
To serve customers better, the DC Public Library will implement a new fee policy for overdue or lost books starting Friday, April 6.
There will be no daily late fees under the new guidelines. Instead, items that are 30 days or more overdue will have a "long overdue" flat fee of $5 per item. Items that are overdue 60 days or more will be considered lost or damaged and will carry an additional fee ranging from $8 - $20 depending on the type of item (i.e., magazine, paperback, hardcover, DVD, etc.), in addition to the "long overdue" $5 fee.
"The easiest way to avoid library fees is by returning items on time," said Ginnie Cooper, chief librarian of the District of Columbia. "If a book is kept past its due date, the new fees make it easier for people to know what they owe without penalizing them so harshly that they don't want to visit the Library."
There will continue to be no late fees for children and teen materials. In addition to a new fee structure, the maximum fee that users can accrue before the Library blocks their account from checking out books will rise from $15 to $40.
The fee change is designed to minimize the barriers to checking out and returning library books. Under the old system, fees were assessed the day after the item was due at $.20 a day for books and CDs and $1 a day for overdue DVDs.
Library users can pay fees with their Visa or MasterCard online by logging into their catalog account. Cash payments can be made at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. Neighborhood libraries cannot accept cash payments.

Forte Bravo
Did you know Ermanno Scervino convinced Kanye West to wed Kim K. at Florence's Forte Belvedere? "It's the most beautiful place in Florence," said the designer, whose own fete at the medieval fortress drew West back to the Italian city yesterday evening. "When I was a kid I used to come here, and the fact that I managed to do something at Forte Belvedere is like a dream come true." Indeed, his party was something out of a New Age fairy tale, but more on that later.
The festivities began with Equilibrium, an enlightening exhibition at the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum, launched in honor of Firenze: Hometown of Fashion and the Centro di Firenze per la Moda Italiana's sixtieth anniversary. The show featured some of Mr. Ferragamo's archived (and very ahead of their time) shoes from the thirties, forties, fifties, and sixties, but it also explored the designer's expansive anatomical studies of the foot. "Equilibrium is the most important part of the Ferragamo story, but it's not easy to tell because it's so technical," offered the museum's director, Stefania Ricci. To help guests such as Pitti Immagine CEO Raffaello Napoleone grasp the idea, Ricci lined the walls with Ferragamo's detailed drawings. Also included was a giant metal shank, an exaggerated version of the one Ferragamo used to create arch support. This, Ferragamo wrote in his autobiography, guides "the equilibrium of the body as it walks, instead of fighting against it." In addition to the shoes, Ricci brought in artworks—such as ancient Roman sculptures, a Brancusi, a Rodin, and two films by Bruce Nauman—that highlighted the feet and the beauty of balance. "I hope that after this exhibition, people will think about walking in another way," said Ricci.
At 8:30 it was time to cross the Arno River and head to Scervino's extravaganza. A lot of equilibrium was required to navigate the seemingly endless flights of stone stairs, but once guests reached the top, the trek seemed worth it. The likes of Francesco Vezzoli and Franca Sozzani sipped champagne while enjoying breathtaking views of Florence and Il Duomo. And Scervino took advantage of the scenery, using it as the backdrop for a presentation of his capsule collection, dubbed The White Renaissance. The silver, gray, and white menswear range was an ode to Salle Bianca, the birthplace of Italian fashion. There were a few womenswear looks, too. A pair of models donned gowns in dusty rose and icy blue, and the hues blended with a sky painted by the setting sun. It was like the calm before the storm, the storm being the arrival of West, who befriended Scervino after visiting his boutique in Paris. According to designer Virgil Abloh, who accompanied the rapper, the pair had just flown in from Cannes.
Following a prolonged, frenzied photo op, attendees headed down (more) stairs to dinner and enjoyed a three-course meal while listening to a live string quartet. And as if the insane views, historic location, fashion show, and Kanye cameo weren't enough, Boy George hit the decks after dessert, playing to a riotous, albeit very well dressed, crowd. Even Suzy Menkes broke it down on the dance floor. "Firenze: Hometown of Fashion is a celebration of the last sixty years," mused Scervino. "Hopefully this is the start of the next sixty."
