John Thomas "Tom" Steeper apparently struggled with the twin-engine Cessna he was flying Monday night, attempting to maneuver it away from the stormy skies above Cherokee County.
But there was no escaping the weather.
The aircraft – which the 64-year-old was navigating from West Houston Airport to Tulsa Riverside Airport in Oklahoma – vanished from both radar and radio contact about 9:30 p.m.
As it plummeted to earth, the Cessna created a spectacle some Cherokee County witnesses likened to television reporters as a "huge orange glow" in the sky.
The airplane crashed – explosively – just outside the city of Wells, killing Steeper, who was the only occupant of the of the Cessna 421C Golden Eagle.
Search and rescue crews located the wreckage of an aircraft late Monday evening in a field outside Wells.
According to a report issued by the Aviation Safety Network – but not yet verified by the Federal Aviation Administration – the airplane impacted terrain in the field near Wells and is believed to have been destroyed by both the impact and post-impact fire.
The cause of the crash was under investigation Tuesday by FAA investigators, to whom the Texas Department of Public Safety have handed over the reins of the investigation, said Trooper Jean Dark, Texas DPS public information officer.
"They will review the flight plan and determine any detailed information – such as if there were mechanical or lighting issues with the aircraft," she said.
The aircraft left the Houston area at 8:41 p.m. Monday and was supposed to arrive at its destination roughly two hours later, according to FlightAware, a tracking website.
Steeper, a Broken Arrow, Okla., resident, has held a private license's certification since 2008. The aircraft he was in was listed in the FAA Registry as "H-S Air LP," which is a cancelled domestic limited partnership connected to a management trust of which Steeper was a co-trustee, records show.
Records also show Steeper, a licensed professional engineer, was connected in some fashion to ECSI: Engineering and Consulting Services, Inc., of Broken Arrow. ECSI's phone number was listed on his professional license.
A person who answered this number hung up on a reporter seeking comment Tuesday.
The FAA investigators, meanwhile, are part of a team led by the National Transportation Safety Board, which is in charge of all fatal aircraft accident investigations, explained Terry Williams, an NTSB public affairs officer.
"We sent an investigator from our Chicago office, and he arrived there this afternoon," Williams said Tuesday. "There also are parties from CESNA, the aircraft manufacturer, and also Continental Motors participating in the investigation. ... We don't expect to have any results before at least tomorrow."

Wednesday, January 21, 2009
I heard somewhere that before yesterday the worst inauguration decline was 2% when Ronald Reagan took the oath in 1981.
I think the 5.28% decline yesterday was about more than just normal inauguration market activity. It seems like worry about the financial sector has intensified, not saying it isn't justified, after RBS news on Monday and maybe StateStreet (STT) news on Tuesday.
I'm sure this little nugget from Nouriel Roubini didn't help either. I certainly don't have the answers as to how to fix anything, it is a little easier to be skeptical or critical of what has been done thus far of which I am guilty but in terms of investing my entire point through all of this has been that you don't need to have the answers.
At the close yesterday the S&P 500 is down 10.8% for the year (in only three weeks?) but the financial sector as measured buy the Financial Sector SPDR (XLF) is down 35% ($12.52 on Dec 31 to $8.08 yesterday). Since the start of the bear market on October 9, 2007 XLF is down 77% compared to 48% for the S&P 500. Put another way the decline in the financial sector has accounted for a disproportionately large 1/4 of the bear market decline (the sector has dropped from about 22% of the SPX to about 10%--that 12% is 1/4 of the 48% drop in the market).
Forgetting the inverted yield curve as a warning from several years ago, sectors growing to 20% or more of the S&P 500 is warning to be heeded. 30% is a clear danger sign but I'm only aware of that happening twice--tech earlier this decade and energy in the early 1980s. This sort of thing is very important to how I try to look at constructing the portfolio and I why have written about this sort of thing many times in the past. It tends to work but it may require patience as the financials hovered around 20% for a very long time.
I realize there are plenty investors (pros and do-it-yourselfers both) not comfortable with investing at the sector level but I am convinced this will make the task easier over time and contribute to missing some pain in the future.

Roger, could you comment on the short/double short sector etfs. You've written before about smoothing out the ride being short the market when it's appropriate, but I don't recall you doing so at the sector level. Financials would be the obvious case in point.
Thank you. - 6:33 AM

Hmm, I didn't know about energy in the early 80s. I'll have to investigate that.

Would you please tell me how to track the yield curve without all of the mathematics?
- Roger Nusbaum said...
i wrote a couple of theoretical posts for TSCM about pair trades using double short sector funds but for hedging i prefer broader indexes.
i think energy peaked at 29-31% in 1981, it then went to 5-6%, stayed there for a long time before building up some in this decade.
i don't think there is any mathematics in monitoring the yield curve. There is arithmetic however. You can quote three month yields with ticker IRX and ten year yields with TNX. Also Barron's has a picture of the yield curve every week and CNBC has the yield info on the screen all day. - 7:50 AM

Interesting.. Does it work the other way round? as in, if a sector drops as a % of SP500 to a certain level, it means it has bottomed out, SP500 has bottomed out, or at least that that particular sector won't lead the market further down anymore. - 4:58 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
i think about it more for defense and it does not happen a lot but energy at 5 or 6%, noted above turned out to be a buy but telecom, materials and utils have been low single digits for a long time.

In a sense, this is an application of reversion to the mean, kind of a fundamental principle of investing.

That article is silly. In many cases those things could be done with mutual fund (with exceptions of course) years before they could be done with ETFs.

Big cats
AUTHOR: DOROTHY HINSHAW PATENT. Big cats are on the prowl and ready to pounce. From their amazing skill as predators to their incredible strength and grace, big cats are some of the most awe-inspiring animals on Earth.

BMW's April Fool Hoaxes
BMW began running spoof April Fool's Day adverts in the early 1980s, giving it one of the longest traditions of April Foolery of any corporation. Most of the ads have appeared in UK newspapers and have been created by the agency WCRS. However, BMW Canada also occasionally joins in the fun. I'm not aware of any April Fool ads run by BMW in the US.
BMW's marketing department has said that the April Fool ads are "designed to teeter on the verge of credibility," and often focus on a new and revolutionary piece of technology from BMW, but "push the idea just beyond the plausible."
WCRS has also explained that it uses the April Fool ads to "puncture pomposity, and create a feeling of belonging to the 'BMW club' of those who enjoy the joke."

WCRS has also explained that it uses the April Fool ads to "puncture pomposity, and create a feeling of belonging to the 'BMW club' of those who enjoy the joke."
Rain-Deflecting Open Top Car. (1983)
BMW revealed that one of its engineers, Herr Blöhn, had developed a sunroof that could be kept open even in the rain, thanks to jets of air that blasted the water away from the top of the car. The system worked completely automatically, even in a car wash.
Those seeking more information were directed to query "Miss April Wurst" in the BMW marketing department. More… |
Dashboard Tire Pressure Control. (1985)
BMW announced that its Chief development engineer, Herr Brehn, had come up with a solution for the "irksome chore" of maintaining correct tire pressure: dashboard tire pressure control:
"Herr Brehn perfected a revolving seal, kept airtight by an ingenious contra-flow of air under very high pressure... Touch a button on the console and a digital display gives pressure... A compressor feeds air into storage units. It then travels to the wheel centre via the revolving seal and through to the tyre. Excess pressure is merely vented into the contra-flow system." More… |
BMW Moveable Steering Wheel. (1986)
BMW announced that its engineer Aap Rilfühl had figured out a way to allow drivers to switch the position of their steering wheel, so that British drivers could move the wheel whenever they crossed the channel from Britain to France:
By incorporating a second-unit steering wheel socket and instrument panel into a conventional glove compartment, Dr. Rilfühl was able to provide the basis for a secondary driving position. More… |
Are You Driving A Genuine BMW?. (1987)
BMW ran an ad in the London Times warning that a Far East company specializing in "reproduction cars" was selling fake BMWs in the UK. The company offered tips for drivers to determine if their BMW was real or a forgery, such as checking the roundel to make sure it matched the "genuine" symbol.
The BMW Badgewash System. (1988)
BMW announced a new technological innovation that would be incorporated into future versions of its cars—the badgewash system. No longer would BMW drivers have to endure dirt on their enamel bonnet badge:
"A tiny sensor mounted in the wiper arm measures the light reflected back from the white sections of the BMW badge… Even if a film of dirt cuts out as little as 5% of that light, the sensor will detect it and start the wiper." More… |
Driver's Weight Sensors. (1989)
BMW unveiled a "significant advance in anti-theft technology" — Driver's Weight Sensors:
"DWS stands for Driver's Weight Sensor. A unique system that compares the driver's weight with a pre-programmed value stored in the sensor's computer memory... The sensor weight reading is then compared to the programmed weight in the memory, and provided this falls to within ±5%, the car will start normally. If, however, the figure exceeds these tolerances, then a discreet gong sounds, and the entire ignition system is shut down." Interested readers were urged to contact Hugh Phelfrett at BMW. More… |
Road Warmers. (1989)
BMW Canada ran an ad in the Globe and Mail announcing a new addition to its luxury cars: road warmers. Pivoting convex lasers mounted in front of each wheel would melt ice and snow on the road as the car was being driven. Turbo fans would then remove excess moisture from the road. According to BMW's press release, this invention would "virtually eliminate the need to clear your driveway during winter." The advertisement assured readers that road warmers would eventually become standard on all new BMWs, but until then dealers would install them on older models free of charge.
BMW Automatic Translation System. (1990)
BMW ran an ad in the London Sunday Times announcing a new "Automatic Translation System" for its cars. This device (developed by senior technician Urbein Waundab) would, at the touch of a button, translate any of the major European languages into English. It would also automatically read and translate every road sign it passed. People were invited to contact "Huw Felvret" at BMW Information Service for more details.
The ad fooled a New Scientist writer who expressed concern (in that magazine's Apr 21 issue) that on-the-spot translations of insults hurled by French drivers would "enrage the normally placid and polite English driver." More… |
Anti-Track Control. (1992)
A commercial for BMW aired on British TV promoting a revolutionary new technology, "anti-track control," that enabled the removal of tire tracks from the ground. The ad explained that the technology had been developed by East German military authorities, but it could now be used by surreptitious lovers seeking to conceal their tracks from suspicious partners. The spoof commercial was created for BMW by ad agency WCRS. The footage of disappearing tire tracks was created by taking a previous BMW commercial and playing it backwards.
The Toot and Calm Horn. (1990s?)
BMW revealed that it had developed a new "Toot and Calm Horn" (T.C.H.) system, which made a noise that actually calmed other drivers on the road rather than aggravating them, thereby lessening the risk of road rage. The name "Toot and Calm Horn" was styled after Tutankhamen.
This April Fool ad has been fairly widely reported, but I don't know where or when it ran. The earliest report of it I've found dates to 2006. I'm guessing the ad may have run in the 1990s. More… |
BMW Optiglass. (1995)
BMW announced that certain models of their cars would be fitted with "Optiglass" — a new optical technology that eliminated the need for drivers to wear glasses:
"80,000 transparent threads of silicon are coated onto a Polyvinylbhytral layer (PVB in English) to conduct a charge throughout the focal area of the screen — in much the same way as demisting systems work. By varying the temperature of the PVB with a simple flick of the dashboard-mounted switch, the refractive index of the glass changes, creating a lens to suit the requirements of all drivers." More… |
BMW's Insect Deflector Screen. (1996)
BMW announced that it would be adding a new feature to its entire line of cars: an Insect Deflector Screen (or IDS for short), designed to keep windscreens bug free. The IDS, developed by Munich scientist Dr. Jurgen Afalfurit, consisted of a clear rubber coating applied to the windscreen. The coating itself was invisible to the eye, but it caused bugs to literally bounce off the window, "even at high speeds."
Drivers were invited to find out more about IDS by filling out a coupon and checking one of the following options: "I find flies get stuck to my windscreen -- Hardly ever; Sometimes; Far too Often." More… |
BMW announced a new feature for its cars — WAIL, which stood for "Wildlife Acoustic Information Link." It was a device designed to prevent animals from becoming roadkill by emitting high-pitched soundwaves (inaudible to human ears, but audible to animals) that sent critters scurrying out of the way:
"This operates on the same ultrasonic echo-sounding principle as BMW's Park Distance Control System. Sonic waves are emitted from the front bumper producing a warning call which alerts stray animals to the approaching car. This then encourages them to jump in the nearest hedgerow." More… |
BMW's Klimatarbeiter. (1999)
BMW unveiled new "Klimatarbeiter" technology, that could create a range of air conditioning ambiences inside of a car, including "Bavarian Mountain Medley," "New England Fall," "Bessarabian Breeze," or "English Summer." The technology was the brainchild of Dr. Heidi Luftkopf of BMW's Stenchnicht research facility in the Bavarian Mountains.
Porcelain BMW Statuette. (circa 2003?)
BMW announced the limited availability of a porcelain statuette of the BMW Z8, created by the "legendary Prussian ceramicist" Loof Lirpa. The actual size of the statuette, a note at the bottom of the ad revealed, was 15ft x 5ft.
[Note: I don't know when or where this ad ran. The BMW Z8 was produced between 1999 and 2003, so presumably this ad ran at some point in that time period.] More… |
BMW Self-Cleaning Car. (2004)
BMW Canada announced that its engineers had developed a system that used "microscopic blowholes" in the surface of the car, blowing away "dust, bugs, water and everything else," and thereby keeping the car constantly clean. BMW owners would never have to wash their car again!
[This was one of four April Fool ads run by BMW Canada in 2004.] More… |
The Canadian Autobahn. (2004)
BMW Canada ran an ad urging Canadians to petition their local Member of Parliament to support the creation of a Canadian Autobahn. This roadway would be an "auxiliary highway system that links the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in a manner that benefits high-performance automobiles." BMW Canada revealed that it had already surveyed the country to determine where such an Autobahn might best be placed.
[This was one of four April Fool ads run by BMW Canada in 2004.] More… |
Cook From Your Car. (2004)
BMW ran an ad in the Guardian unveiling its new Satellite Hypersensitive Electromagnetic Foodration (SHEF) Technology, which allowed drivers to cook their dinners from their car as they drove home from work. All the dials for the home oven were built into the dashboard of the car and communicated wirelessly with the actual oven at home. Drivers could monitor the progress of their meal via a built-in oven-cam. The ad directed readers to a website that offered recipes such as "chicken a la M42."
BMW Golf Cart. (2004)
BMW Canada the immediate availability of a BMW 18 Series Golf Cart, featuring "fore-wheel drive," uDrive technology that advised on golf club selection, and a GPS ball-tracking feature that displayed your ball's location on a plasma screen.
[This was one of four April Fool ads run by BMW Canada in 2004.] More… |
Fall Asleep at the Wheel. (2004)
BMW Canada boasted of the new "Retina-evaluating sensory technology" (R.E.S.T.) technology available as a feature in its new cars. This system scanned the eyes of the driver to detect sleep. When detected, the system took full control of the car, allowing the driver to nap peacefully. "Lose consciousness, not control," the ad declared.
[This was one of four April Fool ads run by BMW Canada in 2004.] More… |
BMW Uninvents the Wheel. (2005)
BMW warned that by the end of 2007 right-hand drive cars would be banned throughout mainland Europe. In response, their engineers had developed "hands-free steering" that used "a combination of sensors and VAT (Voice Activated Technology)" in order to do away with the steering wheel. "All the dials and controls are mounted in the centre of the dash on a pivoting section which can be angled towards either of the front seats..."
However, it cautioned: "Early prototypes were prone to sudden U-turns if the driver swung round to shout at the children in the back." More… |
Slow Camera Avoidance. (2006)
BMW warned that "Slow Cameras" would soon be installed on British roads to photograph drivers going more than 20 mph below the speed limit. In response, BMW engineers had developed "ZIP" (Zoom Impression Pixels):
ZIP is a pixel-based coating that covers the entire exterior of the car. If you are travelling below the speed limit in range of a Slow Camera, sensors around the car detect the camera and the pixels immediately become blurred. This gives the impression of higher velocity and the Slow Camera is fooled into thinking the car is travelling at the correct speed. More… |
BMW Instant Messaging. (2007)
BMW unveiled new technology that allowed drivers to communicate messages via their windscreens:
The system uses Reactive User Sound Electronic (RUSE) particles which are embedded in the windscreen. All the driver has to do is say what's on their mind and the RUSE particles react to their voice to translate their words into an instant message. It enables BMW drivers to communicate advice, warnings, helpful driving tips and salutations to other road users without even lifting a finger. More… |
Canine Repellent Alloy Protection. (2008)
BMW unveiled Canine Repellent Alloy Protection:
The brainchild of Dr. Hans Zoff, head of automotive security, it prevents any dog from relieving itself on the car by administering an immediate, and relatively painfree, electric shock. But the real surprise is that the 220 volts required for this, come courtesy of our brake energy regeneration system. This converts energy created under braking into an electrical charge known as Rim Impulse Power (R.I.P.) and stores it ready for the next encounter. More… |
Magnetic Tow Technology. (2009)
BMW unveiled "Magnetic Tow Technology."
"The unique system, developed in conjunction with NASA, works via a discreet unit located in the front valance that projects an enhanced magnetic beam 20 metres in front of the BMW. Once a suitable target car is located and the BMW is magnetically locked on behind it, the driver is then able to take his foot off the accelerator, turn off the engine and let the car in front do all the work. The towing car will not notice any change in manoeuvrability." More… |
BMW Political Roundels. (2010)
BMW revealed that, in the spirit of the upcoming UK elections, it had created a way for BMW owners to display their political leanings by changing the color of their hood roundel to match the color of their favorite political party. The "Political Roundel Attachment Tag" (PRAT) would be available in the colors of all major UK parties.
Should the car owner decide to switch political allegiances, the roundel tag could be replaced in a matter of seconds. More… |
BMW M3 Pickup Truck. (2011)
BMW unveiled a pickup-truck version of its M3 sportscar at a Munich auto show. It boasted that it was, by far, the "sportiest" as well as fastest pickup truck available, and that it would "fire the imaginations of all motorists with a deep appreciation of top performance matched by a keen practical bent."
The M3 pickup was actually quite real, functional, and street legal. However, it was a one-off and was not heading for mass production. BMW revealed that it would use the car as a transport vehicle in its workshops. More… |
BMW Royal Edition. (2011)
BMW ran ads in UK newspapers announcing that in honor of the forthcoming wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, a special "Royal Edition" of the BMW M3 Couple would be available for one month. It would come in three colors: Regal Red, Bridal White and Imperial Blue.
It would also be adorned with a commemorative "Will" emblem. More… |
BMW Car Coach. (2012)
BMW debuted a "driverless Running Coach" feature that transformed the car into a fitness coach. Cars fitted with this technology would be able to drive themselves, while following behind the jogging owner.
Exterior speakers would play encouraging words to keep the runner motivated, while the "Lock Out Logistics" feature would prevent the jogger from getting into the car until he had completed his full run. More… |
Postnatal Royal Auto Mobile. (2013)
BMW UK debuted the limited edition "Postnatal Royal Auto Mobile," aka P.R.A.M., inspired by the royal baby due in the summer. The infant carrier featured "air con, reclining seat, ambient interior lighting and paparazzi-proof hood as standard." It was available in either Royal Blue or Princess Pink.

You can build a high perf 305 around this camshaft but there are a few critical parts of
the combo-puzzle missing. Needs a 4 speed 5 speed manual trans and 4.56+++ gears. a better intake, 750 holley, headers etc Filly ported race moded heads 1.94 valves. A true 10.5:1 cr. a light race car to stick it in. Let me guess... you want to install it in your pick up truck with 35" tall mudders and 2.73 gears and get 30 MPG.... Last edited by F-BIRD'88; 11-18-2012 at 11:34 PM. |
way too big for the rest of the parts,like fbird said. port the heads,aluminum intake,ignition work, etc. If you use that cam with stock intake and heads it will be like fbird said.
We don;t hate you at all.. Actually built lil 305s are cool.
This cam is probabily not well matched to the purpose thou. Half the other parts of the combo that makes this all work is missing. |
its fine if you want a 4000 to 7000 rpm power band, have a 4 speed (or th-350) with a 8" 4500 stall race converter and 4.88's-5.13's in your camaro and did some serious work on the cylinder heads.
Oh its going to be ""Spice -y-",, thats for sure. Best check the springs and rockers for coil bind and full open lift clearance with .510" valve lift. Before you fire it up. Would run pretty strong with some mods, porting and upgrades and a nitrous system. Do you know how to lock out the advance curve on your distributor and mark the balancer for 36deg BTDC? The motor will not be happy with a stock distributor timing curve. You can fix that up. its not going to be very happy with stock valve springs. Get some Summit high perf valve springs for it. Or Lunati 73943 springs. Its going to want to rev up high to make its power with that cam. Can you power shift a 4 speed trans at 7000rpm? LOL Last edited by F-BIRD'88; 11-19-2012 at 12:09 AM. |
You need to get a die grinder and a few carbide burr bits and get silly on the cylinder heads to get some port air flow going on. Yu need cylinder head flow to make horsepower. Generous full home brewed porting fixes that up.
What is the casting number on your heads? (under valve cover). some 305 heads are better than others. The ones with the tiny 1.72" intake valves kinda suck. |
I installed World Products S/R 58cc heads on my old 1986 305, with a Crane cam, Powermax 2020 designed for computer controlled motors which mine was at the time.
I had very good low end torque. The heads and cam went onto my 350 and worked just as well sans computer. |
To the OP: You're going to need to spend a LOT of time and MONEY to get that cam to perform well in that engine, pretty much you need a new ->EVERYTHING<-!
Your best bet is just to switch out the cam with something a bit smaller, like the XE268H. 12-242-2 - XTREME Energy Note that's a flat tappet cam, I assumed you're using flat tappet since it's an 84 and you didn't mention a retro fit. That cam will give you better power down low, and you won't need to swap your converter, although a 2000-2200 will benefit it. Likely your stock gearing will work just fine, but again some 3.42s would be nice. Porting the heads always helps. You'll want to swap the intake to a performer rpm and a better carb. That smaller cam should give you a nice sound at idle as well. |
That is a mean 305 Fbird. Is that the one you are working?
IF you are pulling the trans back for a converter. You might as well put a 3000 stall in. The 2200-2400 are to close to the stock stalls from the cars I remember. The 90's and on, had factory 2400-2800 stalls in what you may loosely call performance models. Even a 3000 is going to foot brake around 2200. You are not likely to lose drivability at that level. Your cam is similar to the RPM design. That is a little much for a 305 driver, but still it should be workable. It will like/need the compression increase you factored. |
Well I tried firing it up today and had a problem, it seems like the starter doesn't have enough tourque to crank it over, it would crank a few times (slowly), it fired a couple times too, but it would stop cranking before it fired enough to get running, it seems to be draining the batter very quickly. First I used the battery out of my truck, fired a few times then wouldn't crank anymore, I bought a brand new battery with 780 cranking amps and the same thing happened. Any idea what the problem might be?
The cables are clean and well connected, it just seems like the starter is draining the batteries before it will start, after charging up a battery it will crank fast, fire a few times, then it will slow down to the point where it stops firing, then it stops cranking, it has to be the starter, the one battery is brand new and the other one was out of my truck and it starts without a problem

We've been nominated for a Fashion 2.0 Award for our Pinterest page — thank you! We're constantly inspired and love sharing our inspirations — like this collage from our Spring 2014 board — and are grateful for your continued support. Thank you.
Wes Anderson's latest film The Grand Budapest Hotel opens today. Starring Ralph Fiennes and F. Murray Abraham (among many others), it's a lush visual escape to the fictional Eastern European nation of Zubrowka. There are stolen paintings, a mustachioed concierge, pink-packaged pastries, an octogenarian countess (played by, yes, Tilda Swinton), bobsleds, butlers, inmates… The soundtrack is no less richly layered and captivating. Listen to it now on Spotify and keep reading to get the playlist and discover the backstory behind it all.
Read MoreCongrats to Fiona Kotur! You know her for her chic clutches and minaudières, but the Hong Kong expat just launched a collection of shoes — wonderfully exotic and fantastical shoes inspired by hanging gardens and the gypset life. Here wearing Tory's Vanessa jacket, Fiona talks about first shoe loves and shares steps every entrepreneur should take.
Read MoreThe Swizzle is an old-fashioned drink that's beloved by Tory's parents and brothers. It's also the name of one of our new lip colors, a reddened plum with a delicate sheen. Here, the recipe for the classic — which comes not shaken or stirred, but swizzled with a wooden swizzle stick — straight from the home of the rum swizzle, Bermuda's The Swizzle Inn.
From pinky nude to scarlet, shimmery plum to pink, our new lip colors span a spectrum a dozen strong. Here, filmmaker Robert Nethery goes in for a close-up. Make one your signature — or collect them all.
What's in a name? Plenty, if we're talking about our new Lip Color Collection. Keep reading to discover the backstories behind each and every shade, from Pas du Tout to Swizzle, and how the dots connect back to Tory's personal history.
Read MoreIt's Carnaval! Here, Brazil native Carlos Souza — who's Creative Director of the Most Wanted Design jewelry line — tells us what the splashy, no-holds-barred festival is like in the city of Rio de Janeiro.

Alex Katz's new exhibit in Paris opens today at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac's outpost in Pantin, in the city's northeast quarters. It's a deep dive into his oeuvre in portraiture, with some hundred works dating back 45 years — from his outsize paintings to his aluminum cutouts, iconic works to the lesser-known sketches. For those in the midst (and madness) of Paris Fashion Week, the exhibit offers the perfect cultural escape. Not in the City of Light? You can still soak in the Brooklyn artist's intense colors and deceptively reductive style; he currently has a show at Mattatuck Museum in Connecticut and another opening at London's Timothy Taylor Gallery in three weeks.

Everyone stateside is buzzing about the Oscars, but over in Paris, the spotlight is very much on Paris Fashion Week. Here, we chat with French native Dorian Grinspan — who founded Out of Order magazine while still a student at Yale; he graduates this year — about his own PFW memories. Plus, he shares his advice about the startup life.
Read MoreAs editor at luxury goods marketplace 1stdibs, Mollie Ruprecht interviews tastemakers from the worlds of fashion and design for the site's magazine, Introspective. We turned the tables on her — here wearing Tory's Camille gown — in hopes of finding out the secret behind her effortless style.
Read MoreHollywood's biggest weekend is here. How do the pros make sure that final — and most important — stretch of the Awards Season marathon goes off without a hitch? CAA power agent Tracy Brennan, here wearing Tory's Callan dress, Courtlyn drop earrings and Courtlyn cuff, clues us in.
Read MoreEven though we all love American Hustle, Gravity and Wolf of Wall Street, the Oscar film that has us buzzing the most is Best Foreign Language Film nominee The Great Beauty — which lives up to its name as one of the most gorgeous films of the year. The fashion, the parties, the breathtaking Roman backdrop… It all swirls around aging bon vivant Jep, a journalist who wrote a best-seller 40 years ago and hasn't found much success since. Instead, he throws lavish Gatsby-style bashes for the city's elite. But just like with Jay Gatsby, the opulence isn't quite enough…

Prosecutors in Mexico have recovered an 11th child in the case of an apparent child-trafficking ring in the western city of Guadalajara that aimed to supply babies to Irish couples.
The Jalisco state prosecutor's office says the 4-month-old girl was taken from her mother's home.
Prosecutors say at least 11 Irish couples are involved in the case. It says 15 Irish citizens have been questioned by authorities and none of them face charges. All have returned to Ireland.
Police are looking for two lawyers who were handling the adoptions and have detained nine Mexicans in the case, but no one has been charged.

Has anyone had experience refinishing maple floors? We are renovating upstairs in our older home. The downstairs has oak flooring which we refinished shortly after moving in to this house (25 years ago) We are now refinishing the upstairs floors, but they are maple. After sanding and patching cracks etc. the stain was added. The floors have turned out all blotchy. The refinisher explained to me that maple floors don't take stain evenly, but I never thought they would turn out like this. Who has had experience with maple floors? Now I am not sure what to do? The refinisher is coming back in a couple of days to resand and try staining again. Any suggestions?
good point !
If it helps, the one nice thing about not staining a wood floor is if it does get a bad scratch, you won't see it because the wood at the bottom of the scratch will be the same colour.
do you have any pics as examples?
i'm one of them. :cry:
It makes you wonder what all those folks who have installed pre-finished maple flooring are going to do when they have to have them refinished.
Natural maple looks quite lovely. Why not skip the stain and embrace the natural beauty of the maple?
Chickadee: wood conditioner is what should have been put on the floor before it was stained. I am putting in a link to a Minwax video on how wood conditioner works. You would put it on for about 10 min or so and then wipe off the excess. At this point you can stain it. What it does is fill in the pores of the wood (maple is very soft and porous) so the stain will penetrate more evenly. Watch the video and there will be more instructions on the can. DH works for Minwax but this guy is not him.
What will have to happen now is to sand the wood down, put on the wood conditioner, and then restain. Regular stain will only penetrate into the wood so much before it iwll take no more so usually 2 coats is all you should do. If you want more colour, a gel stain will build more colour on the surface so more than 2 coats can be applied as it is a polyurathane based product.
I just asked the painter who is here what he knows about maple and he says it always stains blotchy. Meanwhile he says that they usually use a very diluted sealer before the stain (it has to be diluted or the stain won't penetrate at all) and that sometimes helps but it's almost impossible to have an even stain on maple (or fir or pine) just due to the nature of the wood. He said with kitchen cabinets and such they use a lacquer stain usually to get a nice even coat but it chips so isn't good on floors.
It makes you wonder what all those folks who have installed pre-finished maple flooring are going to do when they have to have them refinished.

Remote-controlled caddy for the lazy duffer
