Further proof Quincy is home to the world's most stylish bicyclists
JuanJoseOle spotted this gentleman riding down Hancock Street in Quincy Center this morning, reports:
I guess he can't afford a winter hat or is hiding from someone. There was a cut out for his face with a Saran Wrap covering it.

This is further evidence that bikers are just plain ODD!
Are we supposed to be able to see something in this photo? I guess we can take JuanJoseOle's word for it about the Saran Wrap, but I can't make out any details at all.
It's a man with a trash can on his head
Larger version is a bit clearer
Now attached to the original post. And you can see his Saran Wrap windshield.
This is a horrible quality
This is a horrible quality photo. Can Juan not afford a good camera? Maybe there is Saran Wrap covering the lens?

nytheatre.com review by Steven Slate
February 28, 2008
To sum things up (pun intended), Sporknotes tries to cram a whole novel into a 45-minute show. They do this without knowing which novel they'll be playing with until a random audience member suggests one. It's a completely improvised show except for the online study guides read by a narrator and used to guide the show.
Now obviously, they don't cram a whole novel into 45 minutes, but they use that novel to guide their scenes and move the show forward. What I found most enjoyable was the opening: after the cast gets the suggestion, they proceed to play a panel of literary experts discussing the book and any other topics that may be inspired by it. The piece then moves on when the narrator breaks in with a summary of the book. After that point the show is guided along by quick one- or two-sentence chapter summaries every few minutes.
The novel chosen by the audience on the night I went was Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, a complex satire of the Stalin regime that features Satan's visit to Moscow and a book within a book about Pontius Pilate among other things. The Pontius Pilate storyline was used heavily in this show. As you can imagine, all of this proved to be great fodder for improv scenes.
Overall the improvisation was very jokey and there were times when some of the players undermined whole scenes with behavior that tried too hard to be funny. Fortunately enough, there are a few very smart improvisers in this group who deftly wove themes from the Sparknotes and the opening discussions together in a way that gave the show some value. To be honest, I had a tough time with this show, but the audience ate it up. Big strong laughs continued throughout this show, and that's probably reason enough to go see it. There are some very talented players in this group and I'd love to see more of them; if I caught the show on another night I'm sure it might hit me differently.

Walled Lake City Councilman Edmund Bennett tendered his resignation at the Tuesday, April 5 council meeting, indicating he won't fulfill his term in office set to expire in November 2011.
The City Council has appointed Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Board Chairman William Sturgeon as Bennett's replacement, effective immediately.
Bennett attributes his early departure to personal health reasons.
"My health isn't that good," he said. "I don't want to comment further."
Bennett was elected to council in November 2007, when he won a four-year council term.
"The city was fortunate Ed ran when he did — we needed new blood on council because it was obvious at the time the city was facing financial difficulties and it couldn't be business as usual," said Councilman Casey Ambrose. "I wish him (Bennett) well in light of the challenges his family is facing."
The council was able to appoint Sturgeon immediately in accordance with the City Charter. Any vacancy which occurs 120 days before the next election must be filled within 60 days by a majority vote of the remaining council members.
"They couldn't have found a better replacement," Ambrose said. "Bill campaigned and listened to the residents. He sits on the DDA and understands both the DDA and city finances. It's a good fit."
Mayor Pro Tem Linda Ackley maintains that Sturgeon belongs on the council since he earned the confidence of the people during the 2009 election.
"He's highly qualified and brings a lot of experience and professionalism," she said. "He has earned the respect of the people."
There is some uncertainty about whether Sturgeon will be able to fulfill his role as the DDA chairman, but the city attorney is in the process of checking into the query. Although Sturgeon doesn't see himself maintaining the DDA chairman position now that he's on City Council, if allowed, he will serve on the DDA board in some capacity.
"I will be probably step down as chairman, but probably serve as a board member or in some other capacity," he said.
In the interim, Sturgeon said he's excited for the opportunity to serve on the council and is honored by the appointment.
"Both the city manager and Bob Robertson called me and asked if I was interested," Sturgeon said. "I believe I was the natural choice since I ran last time and was the fifth person with the most votes, so that was a precedence in addition to my active role on the DDA."
Sturgeon must run for re-election on the November 2011 ballot, when Bennett's four-year term expires, if he wants to remain on the City Council.
Council members are compensated $35 per meeting.

Calif. man behind anti-Muslim film denies probation violations
The California man behind the anti-Muslim film that sparked violence in the Middle East denied Wednesday that he violated terms of his probation for a 2010 bank fraud conviction by using aliases and lying about his role in the movie.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The California man behind the anti-Muslim film that sparked violence in the Middle East denied Wednesday that he violated terms of his probation for a 2010 bank fraud conviction by using aliases and lying about his role in the movie.
Mark Basseley Youssef, 55, made a brief appearance in a courtroom packed with media and quietly repeated "deny" when all eight probation violation allegations were read by U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder, who scheduled an evidentiary hearing for Nov. 9.
None of the alleged violations have to do with the content of the movie or whether Youssef was the one who posted to YouTube the 14-minute trailer for "Innocence of Muslims," which depicts Mohammad as a religious fraud, womanizer and pedophile. Federal authorities are seeking two years in prison for Youssef, who remains in custody and held without bail.
Youssef fled his home in the Los Angeles suburb of Cerritos and went into hiding when violence erupted in Egypt on Sept. 11. The violence spread, killing dozens, and enraged Muslims have demanded severe punishment for Youssef, with a Pakistani cabinet minister offering $100,000 to anyone who kills him.
"My client was not the cause of the violence in the Middle East," attorney Steven Seiden said after the hearing. "Clearly, it was pre-planned and it was just an excuse and a trigger point to have more violence."
The First Amendment offers broad protections for filmmaking and other forms of expression. Jody Armour, a professor at the University of Southern California's Gould School of Law, said he is troubled that the government went after Youssef only after the movie caused outrage in the Middle East.
"They are saying we aren't going after him on the content, but the reason you are zeroing in on this other behavior is because he was somebody who published a film that caused a violent reaction in another part of the world," Armour said. "That's why there's almost this kind of a dog-whistle quality by this maneuver by the government."
Federal prosecutors did not comment after the hearing.
Youssef was convicted of bank fraud in 2010 and sentenced to 21 months in prison. Authorities said Youssef used more than a dozen aliases and opened about 60 bank accounts and had more than 600 credit and debit cards to conduct the check fraud scheme.
After Youssef was freed, he was barred from using computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer. He also wasn't supposed to use any name other than his true legal name without the prior written approval of his probation officer.
At least three names have been associated with Youssef since the film trailer surfaced — Sam Bacile, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula and Youssef. Bacile was the name attached to the YouTube account that posted the video.

Corey Gouker does an extensive review of the new Portable Media Center.
Sorry, I couldn't get Divya's design to work, so we're going back to the boring one for today.
So far I like Raena's design the best. Keep them coming in. I'll keep this one up for a day or two.
Oh, regarding MSN Messenger. I've gotten 75 requests so far on my new account at firstname.lastname@example.com. Feel free to add me and please do say hi! It's funny how some people are suprised I'll actually talk with them.
My old account on MSN Messenger is still getting new people trying to add it and it's totally full, so I can't add more and have to block new ones. Sorry. Come join the fun on the new account. I watch both of them, thanks to having multiple computers.
Well, I have to republish the site and I'll go off to bed. I hear this design isn't working well with Safari. Yeah, that's a problem. Got a lot of browser testing to do once I pick a new design.
One nice thing, though, is that I've moved all my design elements into a CSS style sheet so it's pretty easy to apply a new design.
Coming shortly is a new design by Divya Manian. Let me know how you like this one. And please support these guest designers. Really great work.
I'm playing around with the designs. A new design is on its way momentarily. If you haven't realized it, readers here are coming up with new designs for me and I'm trying them out. So far the first two designs have been spectacular. Another one coming shortly. The design might be messy for a while.

Teen Enters Plea in Fatal Crash that Injured Deputies
Ihor Sahan, 18, moves towards trial on charges alleging he drove drunk and got into an accident that killed his friend, Ryan Petri, 17.
The teenager who prosecutors allege drove drunk during a Nov. 1 crash in which his 17-year-old friend died has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges against him. Ihor Sahan, 18, of St. Francis, was arraigned Wednesday in Waukesha County Circuit Court on six charges related to a crash in which Ryan Petri, 17, died. Petri and Sahan were coming back from a concert in Madison. If convicted, Sahan could face more than 15 years in prison and $100,000 in fines. According to the criminal complaint: Sahan told authorities he consumed six vodka and Gatorade drinks before driving home from the concert. Two deputies were parked on I-94 near Sunny Slope Road in Brookfield in a Waukesha County Sheriff Department squad car. Sahan was driving 74 mph …

Home > Patients and Families > Disease & Treatment > Treatment Options > Bone Marrow Transplants > Reduced-Intensity Transplants
A reduced-intensity transplant is a bone marrow or cord blood transplant (also called a BMT) that uses less intense treatment to prepare for transplant than a standard transplant does. While a standard transplant uses the pre-transplant treatment to destroy most of the disease cells, a reduced-intensity transplant relies on the donor's immune cells to fight disease.
The standard pre-transplant treatment is hard on a person's body. Some patients are not healthy or strong enough to go through this treatment. Reduced-intensity transplants — also called non-myeloablative transplants or mini-transplants — may be an option for these patients.
Clinical studies suggest that reduced-intensity transplants work better to treat some diseases than others. A reduced-intensity transplant may not work well for patients with lots of disease at the time of transplant (such as leukemia in blast phase) or with a fast-growing disease.There is good evidence of an effective graft-versus-leukemia (or graft-versus-tumor) effect in:
Reduced-intensity transplants are more often used with patients who could not tolerate a standard transplant:
Before a standard transplant, patients receive high doses of chemotherapy and sometimes radiation therapy. This treatment is called a preparative regimen or a conditioning regimen. The preparative regimen destroys the diseased cells (such as cancer cells). It also destroys the patient's immune system so it cannot attack the donor's cells during the transplant.
In contrast, the preparative regimen for a reduced-intensity transplant does not destroy many diseased cells. It is just strong enough to suppress (weaken) the patient's immune system so it cannot attack the donor's cells. The cells for a reduced-intensity transplant can come from a family member, an unrelated donor or, less often, a cord blood unit. (Transplants using donated cells are called allogeneic transplants.) The donor's cells grow a new immune system. The new immune cells destroy the diseased cells.
The donor's cells are called a graft. When the donor's immune cells attack the diseased cells, it is called the graft-versus-leukemia effect or graft-versus-tumor effect.
The graft-versus-leukemia effect relies on immune cells called T cells. T cells are one kind of lymphocyte, which is a type of white blood cell. T cells see that diseased cells do not belong in the body and attack them. Sometimes, however, there can be problems along the way, such as:
If either of these problems occur, doctors can reduce the doses of anti-GVHD drugs. This may give the donor's immune cells a better chance to grow. Doctors may also give the patient more of the donor's T cells. This is called a donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI). The extra T cells may be enough to destroy the diseased cells. Sometimes, the donor's immune cells don't take over, but a mixed chimerism is enough to destroy the diseased cells.
The positive graft-versus-leukemia effect and the transplant complication called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) often occur together. This is because the T cells that create the graft-versus-leukemia effect can also attack the patient's body.
Even though a donor's cells may be closely matched to the patient's, they are not an exact match (unless the donor and patient are identical twins). When the T cells see this difference, they may attack the patient's healthy cells. T cells that are working well to destroy diseased cells are often active enough to cause GVHD, too.
In the same way, when the T cells do not attack the patient's body (causing GVHD), they may not work well to destroy the diseased cells either. This is why doctors often see mild GVHD as a good thing after a transplant. It is a sign the donor's T cells are working. Patients who get GVHD may be less likely to have a relapse of their disease.
Reduced-intensity transplants carry many of the same risks as standard transplants. The most common risks that patients who receive reduced-intensity transplants face are:
Many people treated with reduced-intensity transplants have done well. However, this treatment has been used only since the late 1990s, and all of the risks and benefits are not known. It is still being studied in clinical trials. Doctors still want to learn:

Free Download: Adelaida Perdida – "Osea no Mundial"
Chilean grunge-alternative rock band, Adelaida Perdida recently released a live studio track since almost two years of hiatus after the release of their 2010 album, La vida paralela a los sueños – sueño 1. It is always nice and interesting to get a glimpse of what a band is up to between albums. And Adelaida Perdida seems to have kept its tonal integrity with this featured track "Osea no Mundial" by staying within the alternative rock compositional confines, and expressing emotionally, and vocally charged lyrics. We can only expect a new album from Adelaida Perdida is underway, but until then, this live studio session track should hold you over:

Baltimore vs. Boston [Pictures]
With the Ravens and Patriots ready to stage a rematch of last season's AFC championship game on Sunday, Baltimoreans and Bostonians are all hard at work, looking for a competitive advantage and desperate to secure bragging rights. So, as a public service to both sides, we decided to weigh the competing cities' claims to superiority and reach an "objective" conclusion. Here it goes...
-- Chris Kaltenbach
• Also see: Baltimore vs. Denver [Pictures] | Ravens making funny faces [Pictures]
OK, let's start with some basic numbers. Boston is the largest city in Massachusetts, which has an area of 10,555 square miles.

Add / View comments | Discussion FAQBaltimore Sun why would you try to make that comparison, you may well have the better football team. But to compare those 2 cities. You got to be joking!!! Boston is one of the greatest towns in this country and Baltimore is Baltimore. This is not a put down but if you are a traveler you wouldn't put those 2 cities in the same boat as far as comparison.
Oh man, that lead picture was a bad idea for the Baltimore Sun. If a Baltimore publicaction is going to put Boston and Balitmore up against each other, did they really have to show Ben Affleck and Matt Damon up against Mo'Nique? Their star power isn't even in the same universe.

Afton family named 2012 Washington County Farm Family
Afton resident Lori and Gary Swanson, along with their children, have been named the 2012 Washington County Farm Family hrough the University of Minnesota Farm Family Recognition Program.By: Amber Kispert-Smith, Woodbury Bulletin
Gary and Lori Swanson's farm in Afton embodies every meaning of the term "family farm."
Gary Swanson spent his childhood on the farm, which his family bought in 1942, and he has since raised his own family there.
"I never got far in life," Gary Swanson joked about staying on the same property all his life.
The Swanson family was recently named the 2012 Washington County Farm Family through the >a href=http://mnfarmfamilies.cfans.umn.edu>University of Minnesota Farm Family Recognition Program.
The Farm Family Recognition Program was started in 1980 by the University of Minnesota Extension, The College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, The College of Veterinary Medicine, the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station and Farmfest as a way to honor farm families throughout Minnesota for their contributions to the agricultural industry and their local communities.
The families are selected by their peers who were previous award winners.
"It was an honor – we were surprised to receive it," Gary said. "It's very gratifying to know that they thought that much of you."
In addition to Gary and Lori Swanson, the award also honored the whole Swanson family.
The Swanson's son Travis, who lives across the street from his parents with his wife Rachel and their daughter Isabelle, works full-time as an electrician and helps his parents with the planting and harvesting in addition to operating some of his own acreage.
The Swanson's daughter Lindsey – who works as an occupational therapist – does not live on the property, but she held her wedding reception on the farm.
A lifetime of farming
The Swansons' 1,300-acre farm was started by Gary's grandfather and initially started out as a dairy farm.
The farm eventually grew to include hogs, soybean crops and corn crops.
Currently the farm continues to grow soybeans and corn and house feeder cows.
Since Gary Swanson, who previously served on Afton City Council, had grown up with the farming lifestyle, he said there wasn't ever a question of where his life was going to take him.
"I just like the lifestyle I guess," he said. "Farming was just for me."
Lori Swanson grew up in Cottage Grove, so she wasn't completely unfamiliar with the farming lifestyle.
"I was kind of brought up in the farming community in a rural setting," she said. "I knew exactly what I was getting into marrying a farmer.
"I just love the rural life and the farm life is great."
A typical year for the Swansons starts in the spring when they begin planting their crops, including herbicide and fertilizer application.
Then in the summer, the Swansons are busy preparing for the harvest.
"During the summer we're usually praying for rain," Lori Swanson said.
Gary Swanson said this year's crop is about average.
"Our crop looks pretty good right now," he said.
Fall is when the Swansons are busy harvesting their crops.
During harvesting, Gary Swanson uses a GPS field guiding system. A GPS yield monitoring and mapping system is also used for grid soil sampling for fertilizing and lime applications.
"It's just one of the newer technologies I guess," he said. "I think it's made things a lot more efficient."
On average the farm produces about 180 bushels of corn per acre and 50-55 bushels of soybeans per acre to be exported.
Wintertime is reserved for equipment maintenance and seed purchases.
Gary Swanson said he often works 15-hour days for about six weeks in the fall and spring.
The Swansons said they don't know if their children intend to continue farming the land once they no longer can, but for right now they're going to continue enjoying the farm life.
"We enjoy it that's for sure," Lori Swanson said. "I love being out here."

Creating a Web Presence for Your Indie Band
Waiting around at the punk show for your band to get discovered by a lurking talent agent is so 90's. The Internet presents a huge array of options to get your band's music out there and into the ears of your audience. You don't have to have a fancy record label campaign to promote your material, just a little social media know-how.
Putting Your Music Out There
Start by establishing your presence on major music hosting sites like Myspace, Bandcamp, Soundcloud and Last.fm. If you are serious about your project, establishing a .com website for it will lend it credibility. Consider putting your tracks up for download with well-formatted ID3 tags to properly identify you to your audience.
When your tunes are out there for the world to hear, cover your social media bases. Establish a strong presence on Facebook and Twitter to engage with your fans and let them know of your next performances.
If you're a hometown outfit, establishing a relationship with the bloggers and indie publications of your area is a must. Engage in community forums, promote your band's next show in your city's subreddit, and keep a comprehensive RSS or Twitter feed of any zine or alt-weekly that may be willing to give you a write up.
Maintaining a Youtube presence is also vital. It's another outlet for people to listen to and share your tunes, even if you don't have a full music video. Even just a live recording of you playing your first single on funky science lab stools or strumming away in a hip coffee shop is good material for your fans to share.
Keeping Your Website Strong
A little SEO knowledge can go a long way if you're setting up your flagship domain. You don't need to mount an entire ad campaign, but having your pages be easily digestible to web crawlers will help searchers find your music. Consider doing some basic keyword research to see who is searching for what in your area.
Finally, make sure to start up a band blog and update it at least once a month. Writing about what you've been doing as an act, memories from your last show or even a fun piece of fan interaction gives you the opportunity to share posts across your social media. Fresh content also gives your site better link rank in search engine results pages. And flexing those writing muscles can only help your lyrics, right?
Developing an EPK (electronic press kit) can be a valuable tool as your act grows. This is a conveniently-packaged collection of documents and press material that can be transmitted to bookers at the click of a button. It can serve as your rider, promotional material and professional introduction all at once.
Wrapping It Up
Learn to use the variety of free tools that are at your fingertips to figure out what's working with your online endeavors. Mashable.com has great tutorials on how to use Facebook Insights and Google Analytics' easy-to-use interface will make analyzing your visitors a snap.
It can be scary trying to do your own marketing, but the Internet is an exciting opportunity for the savvy bandleader. Just take advantage of social media and webpage optimization to get your music out there to be discussed and enjoyed.
Michelle is an aspiring writer with a passion for blogging. She enjoys writing about a vast variety of topics and loves that blogging gives her the opportunity to publicly voice her thoughts and share advice with an unlimited audience.

Beyond receiving ins truction and how-to advice in each class\, students will roll up their sle eves and collaborate with the instructor and each other with creative brai nstorms\, process and content critiques and real-time discussion following in-class viewing of movie examples.
\nThis series also serves as a helpful introduction to writers interested in learning the foundation of s creenwriting to prepare themselves to write a full script in the follow up Advanced Mentored Worksho p class that will be offered next in January/February 2012.
\nTh e series will cover these four topics key to writing one's first screenpla y:

However\, each class will also serve as a n ew topic with its own standalone lecture and discussion for students who m ay not have attended previous seminars. In between classes\, students will be able to interact and ask questions with one another and the instructor via a secure and member-only online group (access granted upon class atte ndance). As part of the workshop component to each class\, students who br ing completed assignments to the seminar will have the opportunity to gain in-class feedback.
\nStudents who pre-purchase and attend all four classes will be given the opportunity to have 5-10 pages of their script p erformed via a sit-down\, table read in a special bonus session. The numbe r of pages read through will be determined by the number of students whose scripts qualify for the read-through (depending on number who signed up a nd attended all four classes).
\nDate/Time: Satu rday\, 9/22/12\, 10:45AM to 1:30PM
\nIn class no. 1\, stude nts will learn the essentials to coming up with a story that will sustain them to write 100+ script pages that will in turn warrant 100+ minutes of their audience's attention. Below are highlights of what will be covered i n this segment:

\nStudents will l eave with a premise that they can use to start writing or thinking about f or their story.
\nSupporting hand-outs will be provided complete wit h recommended follow up reading and resources as well as film-specific exa mples.
\nAssignment for Class No. 2: Students should develop a two-page treatment for their screenplay.
\n\n\nDate/Time: Saturday\, 10/20/12\, 1 0:45AM to 1:30PM

\nIn-class warm-up &\; workshop:
\nI n this class\, students will learn:
\nStudents will be given a checklist of the top aspects they should know about their characters at the start of their story.
\nStudents will also be provided with film -specific character examples discussed during class as well as hand-outs a nd recommended materials for further reference as they work on their chara cters at home.
\nAssignment for Class No. 3: Students should write character bios for their protagonist and antagonist and any key sup porting characters.
\n\nDate/Time: Saturday\, 11/17/12\, 10: 45AM to 1:30PM

\n\nDate/Time: Saturday\, 12/15/12\, 10:45AM to 1:30PM
\nThe entire Screenwriting 101 Series is designed to give new writers the guidance and direction they need to understand the starter elements to wr iting a screenplay and the know-how to then go off upon completion of the class to finish a script. While the immediate aim of the class itself is f or students to write the first 10 script pages\, it is important to have a n ultimate goal in sight as to what their options are once they do finish their full screenplays. This class will be relevant as a standalone lectur e or a conclusion for students who attended previous sessions as to what t hey should look to achieve once a first draft of their scripts are finishe d.
\nHighlights of what will be covered follow:
\nStudents will also receive guidance to help them:
\nHands outs for reading outside of class will be provided to al so help guide students on:

This recipe was born of a conversation I had with my neighbor about French dip sandwiches. She makes her sandwiches with lunch meat roast beef and a packet of seasonings. I decided that I could do better with less processed ingredients and this was the end result. It's absolutely delicious and as easy as a recipe can get. I just made these the other day without searing the roast first (pure laziness) and it turned out just fine. The best part about these is that you can put them on in the morning and not worry about dinner!
- 3-5 lb roast (I used a chuck roast)
- ½ onion chopped, diced, or sliced (however you like it — I diced mine)
- 2.5 cups beef broth
- ½ cup red wine (optional — you can increase the water)
- 1 cup water
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- pepper to taste
- Crusty rolls
- Cheese (provolone, swiss, mozzarella, white American)
- Trim fat from roast. Heat oil in a large skillet. Season roast with salt and pepper. Sear roast in pan on both sides until browned.
- Put roast in slow cooker. Add onions and then all liquids (broth, wine, water). Add onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and celery salt and stir to dissolve.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours or until meat is tender enough to shred.
- Remove meat from slow cooker and shred.
- Place shredded beef on rolls and top with cheese. Broil sandwiches, open faced, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Dip top of rolls in to au jus in the slow cooker and place on top of the broiled bun.
- Serve sandwiches with a small dish of au jus for dipping.

UMW Survey Shows Virginians Favor Warner in 2014 Senate Race
U.S. Sen. Mark Warner would hold a commanding lead over Gov. Bob McDonnell if the two decide to face off in a U.S. Senate campaign next year, according to a new Virginia survey sponsored by the University of Mary Washington's Center for Leadership and Media Studies. Warner received 51 percent support, compared to 35 percent for McDonnell, in the survey of 1,004 state residents conducted March 20-24. The remaining respondents were undecided or declined to answer the question. The margin of sampling error is 3.5 percentage points for the complete survey sample. Data from the survey also includes Virginians' views of key issues such as gay marriage, the federal deficit and the death penalty. Warner, a former Virginia governor in his first term in the U.S. Senate, said recently that he plans to run for re-election.

Looks of the Week
Welcome back to another Summer edition of MCLV's Looks of the Week. This week's top looks come from around the globe – From New York City to Spain to Paris to Russia.
And let's start this out with a fabulous girl of summer!
Girl of the moment Miranda Kerr has done a fabulous job street style wise over the last year or so, putting together killer look after look. Great bags, great shoes, great sunglasses – great looks!
Love this! The colors in this look and the gold accents are fabulous, it's really chic and well put together. I love the zebra top but it's really that day clutch that caught my attention, tres chic!
Feeling the Zebra love after seeing this look? Check out this too cute sleeveless zebra tank or swoon-worthy nude clutch like Lovely Pepa's!
Mixing prints is an art, but it takes a master to mix animal prints - And we all know that models are the mix n' match masters!
I'm not even sure I can narrow down what I love most about this look… The colors are great, I love the colorblocking, those heels are killer, and that gold rope necklace is phenomenal.
The first thing I thought after seeing this look was, I need a skirt just like that one!
This is a fabulous shade of blue and I love the top, but it was the chunky chain link necklace with crosses, pearls, beads, and chains that first caught my attention. J'Adore!
Need. That. Necklace.
Color color color! Leave it a chic Italian to find the best ways to pump up the drama for in a Summertime look with brights and colorblocking.
I think that a fun patchwork dress is a must have for Summer!
I know that I featured a similar floral wrap skirt two weeks ago on Miss Ashley Madekwe, but it's such a perfect, low-key, but stylish Summer staple, I just couldn't help myself when I saw this one!
Whether you prefer mini or maxi, a tropical print skirt is a great addition to any Summer wardrobe.
This is a great look overall, but I have to confess that what I love most are the details and individual pieces. That ornate antique gold collar is phenomenal, the open-backed sweater is a great twist on a traditional top, and I love anyone who can rock sequins during the day – that clutch is killer!
Why not take a tip from this shot and find yourself a fun, unique top that can be paired with all your fun Summer prints and patterns?
So. Cute. I adore the pussybow polka dot blouse and while the shorts keep it casual, the heels are beyond fabulous.
My first instinct after seeing this fabulous look was to snag myself a similar blouse, you can't have enough polka dots in your closet, trust me!
Such a great, casual but ultra fashionable look for sightseeing. That hat is fabulous all on its own, but I really do like the oversized sweater paired with that phenomenal necklace.
This collar necklace is killer and really helps make this look come together!
This is perfection, from top to bottom – As always from Miss Wendy. The top is chic and minimalist, while the pants add texture and print, and those accessories? Swoon!
I love the fun, retro vibe of this look. The tassel loafers and pleated floral skirt are a perfect combination and the oversized tan messenger bag is a great, vintage finishing touch.
Why not add a pair of cute loafers to your flats collection?

What's your favorite look of the above? Is there a specific trend, or two, that you haven't been able to stop wearing all Summer long?

Michael Kors Astrid Clutch
As far as I'm concerned, Michael Kors is the king of making golden hardware look amazing on leather, especially black leather. Black leather handbags are usually stunning just as they are but golden hardware brings them to a whole different level. Together, golden hardware and black leather makes handbags look classy, flashy and stylish. Every time I see another Michael Kors handbag featuring this color combination I usually love it.
It's no surprise that I love clutches. They're simple and make life a little bit easier when you're on the go. The Michael Kors "Astrid" Clutch is one of the most beautiful but casual clutches I've seen in a while. This is a prime example of a clutch that would be a great addition to any handbag collection. This is the type of clutch that you can literally use at any time of the day. It's simple enough to use during the day but yet the gold makes it flashy enough for the evening.
I'm in love with clutches so I could see my using this one all year long. It's very classy looking so it would be the perfect accessory to a wide variety of outfits. The best part about it is that it have a removable shoulder chain. Therefore, you have the choice to carry it as a clutch or use it as a shoulder bag. Either way you decide to use it, the bag is gorgeous and for the price you can't go wrong!
You can purchase the Michael Kors "Astrid" Clutch at Zappos for $268.
