87 Mercer Street, SoHo NYC
For Spring-Summer 2015, Bottega Veneta presents a men's collection of ease and grace. While the looks are utterly relaxed and unrestrictive, the luxurious materials and carefully considered silhouette give the collection its subtle formality.
The palette is centered on faded, sun-worn hues, including shades of blue and greens, as well as pale, mist, sand, banane and peachy pink flamingo; a deep navy blue often serves as counterpoint to the pale tones. In harmony with the faded palette, materials have a similarly washed-out appearance and hand. Ultra soft lambskin and beautifully weathered suede are prominently featured; cashmere knits (in both fine and heavy gauges), crinkled linen and linen-cotton are also important.
Overall the garments are unlined, very light and athletic in feel, as if to encourage full movement. Pants are either loose and billowy or cut gracefully close to the body. The tops are also either loose or fitted; to maintain proportions, a body-conscious top will be paired with oversized pants, and vice versa. Some of the jackets have the feel of a refined windbreaker, with pronounced volume in the upper arms. Innovative treatments of the materials including different smocking, stitching, washing and fading techniques serve the idea of embellishment, while lending the clothes the feeling of worn-in favorites.
Casually sophisticated accessories compliment the look. Bags in washed-out suede or canvas are utilitarian and versatile, including a backpack that easily converts to a soft shoulder or crossbody bag. At times bags feature details in crocodile, adding additional structure and refinement. Shoes are designed to compliment the easy, athletic feel of the clothes. There is a slip-on that hugs the foot with an elastic; an ultra lightweight suede lace-up that has the feel of a jazz shoe; and a more substantial lace-up shoe.
"The collection was very much inspired by the body in movement," says Creative Director Tomas Maier. "I wanted to convey a certain freedom, athleticism and ease."

Discretion, quality, and craftsmanship — Bottega Veneta has created a new standard of luxury since its founding in Vicenza in 1966. Steeped in the traditions of Italy's master leather craftsmen and long celebrated for its extraordinary leather goods, Bottega Veneta has recently emerged as one of the world's premier luxury brands. The company's famous motto, "When your own initials are enough," expresses a philosophy of individuality and confidence that now applies to a range of products including women's and men's ready-to-wear, fine jewelry, furniture, and more.
While Bottega Veneta continues to grow, the qualities that define it are unchanging: outstanding craftsmanship, innovative design, contemporary functionality, and the highest quality materials. Also constant is Bottega Veneta's commitment to its ateliers, where artisans of remarkable skill combine traditional mastery with breathtaking innovation. Indeed, there is an unusual and inspired collaboration between artisan and designer at the heart of Bottega Veneta's approach to luxury, symbolized by the house's signature intrecciato woven leather. In the summer of 2006, in recognition of the importance of artisanal craftsmanship and the fragility of this traditional way of life, Bottega Veneta opened a school to train and support future generations of leather artisans.
The most recent chapter in Bottega Veneta's history began in February 2001, when the company was acquired by Kering, formerly known as Gucci Group. Creative Director Tomas Maier came on board in June of that year and presented his first collection, Spring-Summer 2002, to immediate critical acclaim. From the start, the house's sensibility was refined, sensuous, and intensely personal, designed for a customer who is sophisticated and self-assured. In the years since, Bottega Veneta has introduced exciting additions to the collection, including fragrance, fine jewelry, a watch, furniture, and home accessories, while continuing to offer an exclusive and coveted assortment of ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, small leather goods, eyewear, luggage, and gifts.
Distribution of Bottega Veneta products is global, encompassing Europe, Australia, Asia, North and South America, where wholesale distribution in select specialty and department stores is complemented by a growing number of Bottega Veneta- owned boutiques. These boutiques, designed by Tomas Maier and meticulously constructed to Bottega Veneta's exacting standards, allow the customer to shop in complete luxury, privacy, and comfort. They are, like the products they showcase, a reflection of Bottega Veneta's exceptional heritage and superlative quality.

Bradford's Dancing On Ice stars return for ultimate skate-off (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Dancing On Ice contestants set to practice at city rink for show's final series
7:00am Saturday 4th January 2014 in News By Emma Clayton, Leisure and Lifestyle Editor
Bradford's Gareth Gates and Hayley Tamaddon are skating into the New Year by competing in the last series of TV's Dancing on Ice.
The ITV show returns tomorrow for a final series, reuniting winners and contestants from the last eight years – and some will be training at Bradford Ice Arena, which has a long association with Dancing On Ice.
Gareth Gates, who competed in the show in 2008, has been practising at the Bradford rink. In the new series he joins Pudsey actress Hayley Tamaddon, a previous winner. Hayley, who played Delilah Dingle in Emmerdale and is now in Coronation Street, playing Steve MacDonald's pal, Andrea, was a hit with judges first time around and is a favourite to be crowned ultimate Dancing On Ice champion.
Other celebrities taking part in this final series include Bonnie Langford, David Seaman, Ray Quinn and Todd Carty and Joe Pasquale.
While previous show winners will want to retain their title, runners-up will have old scores to settle and show favourites will want to wow viewers with their ice skills.
Olympic skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean will return one last time to mentor the celebrities battling it out for the title of ice king or queen – and the star duo will also be celebrating the 30th anniversary of their Olympic Bolero win.
Presenters Phillip Schofield and Christine Bleakley will be rink-side presiding over the action, and former Olympic champion Robin Cousins will again be heading up the judging panel.
The district has produced several past contestants on Dancing On Ice, which pairs celebrities with skating professionals, and Bradford Ice Arena has been used for training for the show over the years.
Krystyna Rogers, who runs the Bradford rink, said some contestants would be training here during this series.
"The show makes a big difference to us, every year it really boosts the numbers of people using the rink," said Miss Rogers. "We are looking to have a major facelift this year and we rely on income from the public.
Last year Miss Rogers told the T&A the building was "crying out to be completely refurbished" and she has contacted Bradford Council about funding requests.
Hayley Tamaddon trained at Bradford Ice Arena with her partner Dan Whiston, as did Matthew Wolfenden, of Norword Green, near Wyke. The former Brighouse High School pupil, who plays David Metcalfe in Emmerdale, was crowned winner of the 2012 series.
Former Coronation Street actor Chris Fountain, of Wibsey, trained in Bradford before reaching the Dancing on Ice final in 2008, and Gaynor Faye, winner of the first series, also trained here. Other past contestants from Bradford include Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe, from Holme Wood, who took part in 2011.
Dancing On Ice starts on ITV1 tomorrow at 6.15pm, with the first skate-off show at 8.30pm.

A superb, moderate day climb on raw, alpine granite in a breathtaking alpine setting. rock is solid and the climbing varied. The final two pitches, up an awesome corner to the gain the ridge, offer continuously brilliant climbing from start to finish.
The approach begins from the top of the Furka pass, traversing across beautiful alpine terrain to the base of the Sidelen glacier. The wall is at the back end of the glacier. The total approach time is around 1 hour and 45 minutes, with limited vertical.
Overall, the route is reasonably well equipped with bolts/pitons (including bolted anchors). A small assortment of complementary gear may come in handy. The first pitch, which at 5c is the most difficult of the route, is very well bolted.

Police say man threatened woman with gunBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | November 19,2012BENNINGTON A McCall Street man is being held without bail after a woman accused him of pointing a loaded gun at her during an argument on Nov. 10.
Christopher D. Violette, 23, of Bennington, was arraigned on Nov. 13 in Bennington criminal court on felony charges of first-degree unlawful restraint which risked injury, and first-degree domestic assault with a weapon. Violette pleaded innocent to the charges.
In an affidavit, Cpl. Christopher Lauzon, of the Bennington Police Department, said he was contacted by a woman on Nov. 11 around 9:40 a.m., who reported an assault involving a gun. Violette was detained a short time later, Lauzon said.
The woman told police she had gone out to visit her brother around noon on Nov. 10. She said Violette called her phone many times while she was visiting her brother but she didnt answer.
She said she came home around 8 p.m. but the door was locked and when Violette returned he was upset and intoxicated.
According to the woman, Violette began throwing things and punching holes in the walls after they went inside. She told police that Violette threw her around throughout the night and into Nov. 11 until around 8:30 a.m.
Sometime between 10 and 11 p.m. on Nov. 10, Violette got the womans .45-caliber pistol, inserted a magazine, chambered a round and switched off the safety switch.
(The woman) stated Violette put the loaded pistol to the temple of her head, threatening to kill her, her father and himself, Lauzon said.
She told police that Violette left the home to get more beer and she was able to leave and contact the police.
According to the woman, Violette has been violent with her on other occasions in the past.
Lauzon said Violette had agreed to give a statement shortly after being taken to the Bennington police station.
As I was explaining the allegations, Violette became agitated and refused to speak with me, Lauzon said.
In the affidavit, Lauzon said he went to the home where the woman said the assault took place and found evidence that supported her account such as holes in the wall, empty alcohol containers, and debris which someone had cleaned up and thrown into a trash bag.
The woman took Lauzon to show him where her gun safe was in the home but she said it was now missing along with a rifle.
A hearing took place on Nov. 14 to determine if Violette would be given a chance to be released before the charges are resolved but Judge Cortland Corsones ordered Violette be held without bail.
Violette invoked his right to a speedy trial. A jury is scheduled to be drawn for what is expected to be a one-day trial on Jan. 8.
Violette is being held in the Rutland jail.

While the Washington coaching staff probably felt differently, the last thing Huskies running back Bishop Sankey wanted was a week off. While Sankey couldn't immediately keep the momentum going from his career-high 241-yard performance in a 41-17 victory over California on Oct. 26, there's reason to believe he'll be able to crank it back up when Washington hosts struggling Colorado on Saturday in a Pac-12 game.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The 34th annual Chargers Blood Drive, touted as one of the biggest of its kind, was underway Tuesday at the Town & Country Convention Center.
Those who donate will receive a free T-shirt and a chance to see Chargers players and former greats, including Rolf Benirschke, Billy Ray Smith, Jim Laslavic, Darren Bennett and Hank Bauer.
Participants can enter to win a Honda CR-V. They can also be screened for high blood pressure, diabetes and sleep apnea. Body-mass index testing and a bone marrow registry were also available.
A fashion show is scheduled at 5:30 p.m., featuring Chargers players including Melvin Ingram and Corey Liuget.
"It's awesome -- it's a great cause," Chargers long-snapper Mike Windt told a local news station while he signed autographs.
Running back Jackie Battle, tackle Jeromey Clary, cornerback Marcus Gilchrist, placekicker Nick Novak and safety Eric Weddle were also on hand.
The drive started in 1979 when Benirschke, a popular placekicker at the time, developed ulcerative colitis and underwent two surgeries to remove his large intestine, which required about 80 pints of blood.
Team officials called the San Diego Blood Bank and asked if they could collect donations. About 1,000 fans showed up at the stadium the next day and donated nearly 300 pints of blood.
"It really started around the love affair that the city had with the team," Benirschke said at last year's blood drive, when more than 1,000 pints were collected. "I just happened to be the one that was sick. Some people waited four hours to give blood."
In the first 33 years of blood drives, more than 65,000 pints have been donated, according to the team.

BOSTON (AP) - Mutual fund fees fell slightly last year, driven in part by investor demand for low-cost funds.
Those findings are in separate reports issued Monday by Morningstar and by the fund industry's trade organization, the Investment Company Institute.
The annual reports examined average fund expense ratios. That's the fee investors pay each year, expressed as a percentage of a fund's assets.
Morningstar found the typical investor paid 0.75 percent last year, or $7.50 for every $1,000 invested. That's down from 0.77 percent in 2010. Morningstar's figure is the average for stock funds and bond funds, as well as funds investing in alternative assets.
The ICI found investors paid 0.79 percent at stock funds last year, while bond fund investors paid 0.62 percent. Both are down slightly from 2010.

Renovations at SCC
In the next few weeks as you come to or drive by the school, you will notice a few changes taking place as part of the Capital Campaign for Saratoga Central Catholic.
- Based on recommendations from the City of Saratoga Springs arborist, the two trees in front of the school have been removed. The trees were diseased and would die within the next few years.
- There will be four new Victorian Street lights installed and 7 new trees and greenery to add curb appeal to the school.
- The city will begin construction and removal of some curbing and sidewalk in front of the school week of July 7th.
- Morris Excavation will be taking out all sidewalks in front of the school and between the school and St. Peter's Church.
- Tony Barone will be pouring concrete and forming the new sidewalks.
Thank you to all involved in this great project. Stay tuned for pictures as the construction gets underway

PENSACOLA, Fla. (BP) -- Your God is awesome. Your church is wonderful. Yet some of the guests who visit your church don't return. No true connection was made.
A parking lot greeter in our church expressed that concern: "We've got to figure out how to actually connect every guest with another person. Our polite hellos or glad-you-cames just aren't adequate."
Why not challenge every member of your church to use these tips to connect with guests:
1) Make a personal commitment to intentionally "connect" with one guest every Sunday. Ask God to make you aware of visitors. Be diligently alert -- in the parking lot, foyer, nursery, hallway, worship service -- to notice them. If you accidentally welcome someone who isn't a guest, no problem -- you've found a new friend.
2) Once you've met a newcomer, pray for God's guidance. Smile, greet the guest warmly and introduce yourself. Pay careful attention to the person's name. Repeat it. Write it down. You will want to speak his or her name the next time you see each other.
3) Chat casually and purposefully. You may ask, "Is this your first time to worship here?" Ask nonintrusive questions such as, "Did you just move to town?" or "What brought you to church today?" Warning: Never ask, "Are you a native here?" That reeks of cliquism that can leave guests feeling they aren't welcome unless they're from your town.
4) As you chat, listen carefully to find things you have in common. Most importantly, offer friendship. Make a plan to get together during the week. For example: Invite them to join you for lunch, meet for coffee or be your guest at an upcoming church event.
5) Give guests your email or phone number and ask for their contact info. Call them Tuesday to remind them of the kids' Wednesday program or on Saturday to say, "I hope you come back again tomorrow. I'll save you a seat."
6) Help the guest connect with at least one other person at church. As you converse, think of someone who has a common interest, such as children's ages, similar life stage, employment, neighborhood, hobbies or background. Then make the introduction.
7) Say these words before the guest departs: "We want you here!"
I listened as two young couples bemoaned their search for a church home. Both had researched and visited multiple churches when they moved to a new city. They'd been welcomed, but not connected. One stated, "If just one person would invite us for coffee or show any true interest in us, we'd definitely join!" When we don't bother to make true connections, we can exclude guests.
Jesus said, "I was a stranger and you welcomed me." As God brings guests to your church, will you intentionally connect with them? Eternity will be impacted.

The Antelope Hunter II features a blade of tough 8CR13MoV stainless steel, rated 58-60 on the Rockwell scale. This quality steel is designed to hold an edge longer, providing extended use without re-sharpening even under heavy field use. When it is time to re-sharpen, a few passes with Kershaw's Ultra-Tek sharpener returns the blade to its factory sharp condition. In addition to top blade performance, you'll like how the Antelope Hunter II fits your hand. The finger-contoured handle let's your hand lock into place for a solid, yet extremely comfortable grip. The co-polymer handle material is grippy enough to provide a secure grip, even when wet, and cleans up easily. In addition to its suitablity as a hunting knife, the Antelope Hunter II doubles as a general campsite utility knife and even comes in handy around the house. It stores in its own leather sheath. For hunting or even as a general utility knife, the Antelope Hunter II is a lot of knife for the money.

Erie Mayor Joe Sinnott met with the media during his lunch hour Tuesday to explain a decision that first became public over the weekend.
That he was changing his mind about staying neutral in the democratic primary for Erie County Executive and will endorse the incumbent democrat Barry Grossman.
Grossman appeared with Sinnott to accept the support, saying that he believed that he and the Mayor had worked well together during their time in office.
Sinnott said the endorsement had nothing to do with recent comments from challenger Kathy Dahlkemper questioning what she has been calling a "lack of leadership" in the County.
We caught up with Dahlkemper shortly after the noon press conference.
"That's fine," she said when asked for her reaction. "I'm not interested in the endorsement of an office holder. I'm interested in the endorsement of the people of the County."
WICU-TV will host a debate between Grossman and Dahlkemper that will air live Monday night May 13 at 7pm.
The voters will have their say on primary Election Day May 21st.

Banbury United chairman may have to relinquish role
Updated 12:35am Thursday 31st January 2013 in Sport
BANBURY United chairman Jed McCrory may have to relinquish control of the Evo-Stik Southern League Premier Division club if a consortium he is heading completes its takeover of npower League One outfit Swindon Town.
The Oxford Mail understands McCrory is likely to be allowed to hold board positions at both Banbury and Swindon until the end of the season, with special dispensation granted which will allow him to have a significant role at both clubs, provided they will not meet in FA competitions.
However, at the end of the season McCrory is likely to be told he must step down from one of the positions.
McCrory took over as Banbury chairman six months ago.

I wasn't a "Cult fan" – I just liked a couple Cult tunes I heard on the radio. Man, these guys jam. What this means is that I wouldn't be a big fan of their "Love" album style, but I love their "Sonic Temple" and "Electric" style. Which is not to say that I don't like the hits here from "Love", but that's the point of "best of" collections, no? Well, you could buy the 3 albums listed above and listen through the songs you don't like, but even then you'd be missing the first cut on this CD – "In The Clouds" – which wasn't released on album, and is in fact one of the hardest rockin' Cult tunes, and probably my favorite song. Put it on, turn it up, and drive on…..
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
this is the one you want. Just about every song is very good or great. One of the most underrated bands in history. Listening to this collection will make you scratch your head and wonder these guys aren't world famous yet crap like Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback and Limp Bizkit has gotten major airplay over the years.
My only quibble would be that they edit out the Indian chant intro to "Wild Hearted Son" and they fade out of "Heart of Soul" a little bit quicker than on the underrated '91 album "Ceremony."
I first discovered the Cult when I watched the film Less Than Zero. I was so moved by Lil Devil, that I waited for the credits and went out and found this disk. For those of you who haven't bought it yet, I have good news. Your CD collection is still a work in progress. It's not too late to own what is going to be your one of your favorite cds. The Great news is once you discover them, perhaps again, you can see them in concert. They have REUNITED. I saw them in Fort Lauderdale and it was one of the best concerts I've seen. Do yourself this favor, rock out to the Cult. They are art.
High octane Cult = Pure rock n roll. A collection of their greatest singles and album tracks, charting the rise and tragic fall of one of the greatest English rock bands of the 80's. All your favorite tracks are here and more. Finished off with the added bonus of 2 tracks never before issued (Listen to them and wonder how could they leave them off 'The Cult' album) this collection beats the European 'Pure Cult' collection hands down. Will Billy and Ian ever pass the standard of the Cult? Who knows?
This is one of those essential albums, on the same level as Led Zeppelin IV and Sabbath's Paranoid. You get 18 classic cult tracks (including 2 unrelease songs), and they're all amazing. The Cult's sound is different than anything out there, and they cross over so many different styles…it's spectacular. "In the Clouds", one of the 2 new songs, is the hardest I've ever heard from them, and it's great. A few of the tracks are cut short, though, but that's just another great reason to go buy the full albums. Sonic Temple, Ceremony, and "The Cult" are my favorites.

Greensburg Daily News
---- — CINCINNATI (AP) — Ryan Braun's 65-game suspension created a big hole in Milwaukee's lineup. A hard-swinging rookie is trying to fill it in a bit.
Khris Davis hit a pair of two-run homers in consecutive at-bats for the first multihomer game of his career, powering the Brewers to a 6-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.
"I don't see any flaws in him right now," manager Ron Roenicke said. "He's really doing a good job."
The Brewers played their first game since Braun acknowledged in a statement that he used performance-enhancing drugs while recovering from an injury in 2011, when he won the National League MVP award. Players called it a good first step for Braun, who is serving a 65-game suspension from Major League Baseball.
Davis rejoined the Brewers the day after Braun was suspended, getting his third stint of the season. He's hit all eight of his homers in the 23 games since, including the two-run shot that put Milwaukee ahead 3-2 in the sixth. His next homer snapped a 3-all tie.
"I'm just having fun with it and trying to be loose out there," said Davis, who is batting .386 in Braun's absence.
Scooter Gennett also homered for Milwaukee, which won at Great American Ball Park for only the second time in seven games this season.
The Reds lost for only the fifth time in their last 17 games, a surge that has tightened the NL Central race. They came in a season-high 18 games over .500.
Davis connected in the sixth off Homer Bailey and again in the eighth off Alfredo Simon (5-4).
, who had a rough inning.
He also gave up Gennett's solo homer, which was upheld on review. Gennett also singled and doubled and scored twice.
The Reds' bullpen has lost set-up man Jonathan Broxton to an elbow injury and been forced to pitch a lot of innings lately.
"That was uncharacteristic of Simon," manager Dusty Baker said. "I think you saw some signs of fatigue, and that Davis is the best young player I've seen come into the league this year."
Rob Wooten (2-0) hit a batter during his one inning in relief. Zack Cozart singled home a run in the eighth off Brandon Kintzler. Jim Henderson gave up a hit in the ninth while getting his 20th save in 23 chances, leaving him with 14 straight scoreless appearances.
Bailey repeatedly went deep in the count to batters and retired the side in order only once during his six innings.
Norichika Aoki singled home a run in the third. Aramis Ramirez doubled ahead of Davis' homer to left-center field in the sixth off Bailey, who is 2-7 career against Milwaukee.
The Reds got a pair of runs in the fourth off Yovani Gallardo with the help of an error. Brandon Phillips singled, Ryan Ludwick walked, and both runners scored when Cozart singled to center and Carlos Gomez bobbled the ball. Gomez hadn't played since last Thursday when he ran into the outfield wall, hurting his right knee.
Phillips led off the sixth inning with his 16th homer, which cleared the wall in center and tied it at 3. Gallardo also went six innings, giving up six hits and two earned runs.
Davis won it with his second homer.
"It's pretty impressive," Gallardo said. "We saw him swing the bat in spring training. He impressed a lot of people in spring training, and he's doing it now. He's able to drive the ball the other way with power.
"It's a big challenge when you have a hitter with power who can also go the other way and still drive it out of the park."

Hi Guys I have been following this example to install a QML extension plugin
The plugin has been installed successfully to the following location:
and its stub to:
Now to use it in a QML file, I tried the following lines in the qmldir file which all resulted in the qml file to fail to launch because MyItem is undefined:

What is the correct path to use in qmldir to refer to my plugin ? given that my plugin and its stub reside in the following folders:
my plugin has no capability , could this be the problem ? and if yes, what is the basic capability for a QML extension plugin (mine just registers a type that draws a rect) ?

Point, click and buy. People do it for books, groceries, plane tickets — even vehicles. You may even be buying prescription drugs online through a national pharmacy chain or a mail-order program offered by your health insurance.
But did you know that there are a plethora of other sites that sell prescription medications? Although there are many legitimate online pharmacies, others aren't licensed in the United States — and some aren't pharmacies at all. So while buying prescriptions online can save you time and even money, be selective about which sites you use.
To safeguard your health and finances, remember these simple do's and don'ts for buying prescription drugs online.
Whether you fill your prescription at a local pharmacy or online, make sure you get just what the doctor ordered by checking the following:
If you have any questions or concerns, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking the medication. A simple phone call may help you avoid a potentially serious or costly mistake.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
It's unclear when the cult of P50 started, although we'd have to assume it was around the time that Biologique Recherche first released the wonder product, which has become the cornerstone of its 40-year-old line. With active ingredients including usnic acid, lactic acid, witch hazel, onion extract, myrrh extract, and sage extract, the toner-cum-astringent -cum-"balancing lotion" occupies a coveted space among beauty urban legends. Many have heard of its transformative powers, although why it actually works remains elusive. "It just balances your skin," says Shyou Hung, famed New York facialist and the owner of Salon de Shyou in Soho. As one of the first aestheticians to start offering P50, Hung prescribes the tonic to all of her clients, which include a gaggle of models and please-don't-print-their-names-in-your-article celebrities who can often be seen leaving her Prince Street digs. "It's really unique," she says. "It actually makes pores smaller!"—among other things. Essentially a daily exfoliant that effectively removes dead skin cells to allow for cell regeneration, P50 gently purifies, hydrates, and tones while controlling sebum and reducing any proclivity you might have toward breakouts and rosacea (editor's note: it's also excellent for pre- and post-shaving care). While it can take about a week to start working and the smell is not for the faint of heart (that combination of lactic acid and onion extract is pungent at best), it can be quite habit-forming. Once your skin has experienced P50, the visible difference makes it hard to go back.

Prop 8 does discriminate
Original post made by Pat on Oct 16, 2008
Also marriage conveys immediate tax benefits that domestic partnerships do not. As domestic partners (which we were) if I died tomorrow my partner of 21 years would have to pay inheritance tax on the home we bought together six years ago. However, as a legally married couple (which we now are) he will automatically be granted full title without having to pay a cent.
David and I got married at San Francisco City Hall on June 25, then celebrated the blessing of our vows July 24 in a deeply moving religious ceremony at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church where I both worship and work. This ceremony was attended by 200 friends and members of our parish, many of whom said it was one of the most wonderful expressions of love they had seen in years. I find it ironic that the cover of the issue with Andersen's letter had a bold red headline, "Love of a Life."
If the mayor believes her statement, "I do not believe that anyone in our community should be discriminated against based upon his or her sexual orientation," then she should VOTE NO on Proposition 8.

I disagree.
If you are undecided on Prop 8 consider that to tolerate is not the same thing as to condone. Tolerance is a lens through which we should view all people, including gay and lesbian people. We cannot and should not condone all actions. You can love people without loving what they do.
Voting Yes on Prop 8 is a vote for tolerance. Voting Yes on 8 guarantees that rights will be preserved for traditional marriages and for domestic partnerships. Voting Yes on Prop 8 is NOT intolerant, bigoted, or discriminatory. Please vote YES on Prop 8!

Then why call Yes on 8 "Protect Marriage"? Adultery hurts marriage. Divorce hurts marriage. People who get married when they are too young or not committed hurts marriage. These are the things "marriage" needs to be protected from. But if two people love each other ... that does not hurt marriage.

Dear Concerned: So, peace is war and ducks don't quack? Nobody likes to think of him/herself as bigoted, but it is impossible to escape the fact that Prop 8 denies full social participation to a significant minority of our fellow Californians.
To sustain your "hate the sin/love the sinner" argument, you must decide that homosexuality is a "lifestyle choice," rather than an innate feature of one's make-up. It's not, any more than your or my heterosexual orientation is. It really is like, say, skin color, gender or even handedness -- would you deny equality on any of those bases?
One of my favorite cartoons shows Dad and son, sitting on the edge of the boy's bed, and Dad says: "Son, I think it's time we chose your sexual orientation." Do you really think it works like that?
Constitutions are precious, and there's not enough love in the world. Why would we go way out of our way to institutionalize exclusion and bigotry? CA has always stood for inclusion and acceptance. Please vote "NO" and keep our state open on an equal basis to all who choose love.

"Taste you can learn, but style is charisma"- Iris Apfel
Iris Apfel, an interior designer, business woman, and fashion icon is still as charismatic and stylish today and she was in her youth. "I'm a geriatric starlet, my dear, don't you know" explains Iris. At the age of 83, 13 years into retirement, is when she actually became a celebrity. In 2005 the Metroplitan Museum in New York had an exhibition featuring Apfel's style. What was truly amazing about this exhibition was not only the clothes, but the way the she wore each piece. Each outfit was put together like a work of art and with such style.
At the age of 90, believe it or not, she is even more famous today than 7 years ago. She has a ridiculously successful line of makeup at MAC, an accessory line, a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes named after her, and so much more. She's a true style icon. Take a look at how her personal fashion style can be interpreted from an interior design perspective, which is how she got her start. The rooms are as eccentric on the inside as she is on the out!
The layers of gold, brown, and charcoal gray silk taffeta in this Lanvin gown, circa 1985, are as sculptural as the gold chandelier in this room. Adding gold accessories to your space can feel both elegant and eclectic.
This deep jewel tone silk-taffeta Nina Ricci evening dress, designed by Gérard Pipart (circa-1985), belong in this sitting room. The colors of the painting and rug, along with the bold deep hues of the pillows combine to create a bohemian eclectic space as rich in color as the dress. Colorful pillows can bring a lot of energy into any room and is a great way to accessorize!
The hot pink blouse blossoms and flows like the dye on this stylish comforter. The necklace makes a bold and dynamic statement and pretty pairing in color, much like the painting above the bed . The bold black in the art and in the pillows create contrast and a strong grounding element for the colorful decor. Playful, sophisticated, and whimsical define both the room and the outfit.
Tartan plaid and a furry friend, that's why these two go hand in hand! Sophisticated and casual is what makes this outfit and this room so lovely.
And of course Iris Apfel has her own jewelry line as well! We can't help but notice, her sculptural White Bone Necklace resembles the form of our White Flower Ceiling Light! Her jewelry collection is "Natural, eclectic and fun". You can channel a little bit of Apfel's energy by wearing any of the pieces from her collection or designing your space with color and lots of personality!
Cheers to hoping that we all can have a small dose of Iris Apfel in us when we're 90. She is a true style icon in every sense of the term.

Pyramid of the Magician, Uxmal
As I plan a trip to Mexico soon, somewhere I have been many times as a child, I can't help but do some research as I prepare for my trip as an adult. More specifically, an adult who loves design and architecture.
Mexico is a country built on tradition and history. As you tour its cities, you will see modern structures next to old, broken down buildings from ancient times. Rather than tear down and build new, much of the architectural philosophy is to build around and upward. Progress, but do not forget.
Maya civilization dominated southern Mesoamerica in the second half of the first millennium AD. Classic phase (600 to about 900) architecture (above) is characterized by an exquisite sense of proportion and design, seen in the structural refinement and subtle detailing.
The National Palace in Mexico City
Mexico's colonial history marked the collision of the European and Indigenous cultures, giving rise to a new form of art and architecture. Most colonial cities were planned around a plaza, which held the three main institutions: the cathedral, the administrative center (above) and the court.
Palacio de Bellas Artes
During the 19th and early 20th century Emperor Maximilian I brought a new set of urban design ideas to Mexico. Drawing from the mid-century Parisian redevelopment plan, he built a broad new diagonal avenue called Paseo de la Reforma. This elegant boulevard ran for miles from the downtown National Palace to the lush Chapultepec Park where the Austrian ruler lived. Neo-Gothic designs incorporated into the monumental public buildings, including its cultural center (above).
La Torre Latinoamericana
As modern times began to impact the urban design of Mexico, functionalism, expressionism, and other schools would leave their imprint, combining techniques and stylistic elements of Europe and North American techniques.
It's quite interesting to see modern Mexico develop and how it seems to be coming around full circle. I can't help but notice the similarities between The Soumaya Museum (above), completed in 2011, and The Pyramid of the Magician, Uxmal (top).
This stunningly modern structure houses one of the most important art collections in Latin America with over 6,200 artworks and 60,000 square feet of exhibition space. It also includes an auditorium for 350 people, library, offices, a restaurant, a gift shop and a multi-purpose gathering lounge.
This stunning structure is located in a former industrial zone dating from the 1940's, providing the opportunity to play a key role in the reconversion of the area as a cultural center and defining a new model for Mexican and international architecture.
Structurally, this organic and asymmetrical design is constructed with twenty eight steel curved columns of different diameters, offering a soft non-linear circulation all through the building. Located at each floor level, seven ring beams provide a system that braces the structure and guarantees its stability. It widens at the top, where a roof suspended from a cantilever allows natural daylight onto the top floor gallery. The windowless facade is composed of hexagonal aluminium tiles. Strategic track lighting is great for complimenting natural light. The lack of any modern furniture, such as benches, keeps the space clean and leaving the spotlight on the art.
The study of modern design and architecture would be endlessly entertaining, but understanding it's history provides inspiration at an entirely new level. The develpment of entire cities goes hand-in-hand with the culture of that particular civilization, giving the architecture that emerges immesurable personality.

When we speak of design, we often refer to architecture, furniture and graphics, but rarely do we talk about letters. "Typeface" is a typography term that refers to the visual characteristics of a set of letters and numbers, and no typeface is more universally used, imitated, loved and loathed than Helvetica. A Google image search of the word Helvetica speaks volumes of its iconic place in 20th century communication design. What is is that makes this typeface so ubiquitous?
Developed in 1957 by Swiss designer Max Miedinger, Helvetica is the Modernist's dream - a sans serif typeface that eschews ornamentation for clean, crisp function. And it can be found absolutely everywhere.
On the New York City subway:
In the mark of some of the world's largest corporations:
And all over the place in graphic designer tributes such as this one (clearly inspired by the Russian artist Kasmir Malevich):
It arouses a range of emotions among designers. Some love it. Some don't:
Some imitate it. It's younger cousin Arial (developed in 1982), has been packaged with Microsoft operating systems since 1992 and is one of the most widely used computer fonts today.
I'll admit, the more I look at Helvetica, the more I start to notice that the same rules that dictate good typography apply to good design as well. You don't have to go far to see it, we have some on our website. Check out some of these fixtures below. There's the variable shaped bowl of Helvetica's "d" and "b" that reminds me of this Lite Source Kito Green Table Lamp:
And there are the straight, flattened finials at the top of both the Helvetica letter "t" and this Possini Euro Design Triple Column Wood Table Lamp:
I'm not suggesting that one influenced the other, but it is fun to note how the formal rules that govern typeface design are very much at play in the larger design world. The Modernist design principles that informed the creation of Helvetica are as ubiquitous as the the typeface itself.
Love it, hate it, use it, or don't. Whatever your reaction to Helvetica, one thing is certain: it's everywhere.

As you know, here at ESL we are modern design enthusiasts, which is usually what we like to talk about. However, today we're going to acknowledge someone who enjoys going back in time to truly understand today's favorite modern elements. JF Chen is a curator of antiques with showroom locations in Los Angeles. Chen is not shy to say, his general collecting parameters include an unrelenting addiction to mid-century modern Danish. His collections are endless and his knowledge of what defines a classic is not to be rivaled.
He greets architects, designers, celebrities and design aficionados daily, helping them find what they're looking for, but making sure to stay out of designing their projects. He explains in an interview " I don't know how to sell, but I sure know how to buy".
Chen has recently published a book, "Collecting Eames" (above) surveying the iconic modern designs of Charles and Ray Eames. Upon debut of the book, he also held an exhibit at his showroom. I am, of course, very sad I did not know about this sooner.
The Eames chair he decided to use on the cover of his book is one of most rare Eames chairs in existence. Recently sold for low six figures, it was a prototype high-back armchair designed by the Eameses and Eero Saarinen in 1940-1941 for the Museum of Modern Art Organic Design Competition.
This business is a family affair, Chen seen here (above) with his wife and two daughters. Like in any industry, the more you love what you do, the better you are at it. However, with Chen the saying might also be the more you love Eames, the more you collect.
It's important to develop your own aesthetic and favorite products, whether they are modern or a combination of different styles. But sometimes it's also fun to know where those designs came from and truly understand their form and function.
To learn about another Eames lover, be sure to check out this video with Ice Cube.

The key to a successful outcome in upper eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is accurate skin markings. Proper location of where the upper eyelid crease will be placed is crucial. Different racial groups have different eye crease positions. For example, Blacks and Caucasians tend to have a higher eyelid crease than some Asians. This is not an absolute, as there are always exceptions. The crease must be individualized for each person.
In addition to marking the proper location of the eyelid crease, the amount of skin that will be removed also is marked. An overly aggressive upper eyelid skin excision will result in the inability to close the eyelids. Furthermore, in men, it is acceptable to have more skin, giving a "hooded eyelid" appearance. Examples of famous men who have a hooded eyelid include the actors George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Removing too much upper eyelid skin in those who naturally have some amount of hooding will give an unnatural look. In women, a more open eyelid is considered more feminine and allows application of eye shadow if desired.
Proper location of the lower eyelid incision is also important. The lower eyelid incision can be made just under the eyelashes or on the inner aspect of the lower eyelid. If the incision is made on the inner aspect, no scar will be visible. If excess skin and/or excess lower eyelid muscle needs to be addressed, the incision will be on the external aspect of the eyelid, under the eyelashes. If it is lower eyelid bags that need to be addressed, the incision will be on the internal aspect of the eyelid.
Just as with the upper eyelid, removing too much skin of the lower eyelid can create problems. Removing too much lower eyelid skin will cause drooping of the lower eyelid similar to a bassett hound. This causes problems such as dry eye.
