"With a black sweater and ten rows of pearls,"[2] as the postwar couturier Christian Dior once observed, Mlle Chanel revolutionized the way we dress. Paul Poiret, an early rival, was not so kind: "Poverty deluxe,"[3] he called the youthful, pared-down look that transformed women from overblown Belle Époque belles into sleek, bobbed-hair, modern women.
With a snip of her ribbon-looped scissors, Chanel released women from their corsets and put them in fluid jersey suits and loose chemise dresses. "Nothing is more beautiful than freedom of the body,"[4] she said.
Chanel opened up a new world for her customers, in which they could dress and play as she did—with the boys. Cecil Beaton observed the key to Chanel's success in his 1954 book The Glass of Fashion: "It is the genius who creates the need, though that need must reflect the unconscious wishes of the moment if that genius is to be accepted."[5] To the liberated legions shedding their mantles of feminine festoonery, Chanel offered wide-leg trousers, striped Breton tops, cardigans, turbans, turtlenecks, peacoats, and, of course, the LBD. In 1926 Vogue, predicting that Chanel's simple, straight-lined frock would find much favor among the masses, christened it the Ford, after the ubiquitous black motorcar. Nearly a century later, it remains the ne plus ultra of understated chic, the most minimal of foundations upon which to lavish adornment.
The grande dame of all that glitters, Coco was the original stylist, mixing both real and costume baubles with abandon; her friend Jean Cocteau said she had an "absolute eye."[6] Roped in faux pearls and armed with her twin jeweled Maltese-cross cuffs, the "little black bull,"[7] as the novelist Colette called her, took the fashion world by storm . . . not once, but twice.
Having reached what had seemed to be the apex of her influence in the 1930s—and then having fallen out of fashion in the years of the opulent New Look—Coco staged a remarkable comeback at the age of 71, in 1954. With her supremely fitted, collarless tweed jackets with thick braid trim, she firmly steered customers out of Dior's age of excess and back toward a more restrained chic. (Mademoiselle was fastidious about fit. Armholes were ripped and redone again and again; hems were laced with heavy gold chains so they'd hang right.)
Although Mademoiselle died in 1971, the classic Chanel suit is only one of the many brand signatures she devised that endure and endure and endure—les éléments éternels, as Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel designer since 1983, calls them. The quilted bag, pearls, gold chains and buttons, the camellia motif, two-tone shoes, a black bow, the groundbreaking Chanel No. 5 perfume bottle . . . all are symbols of Coco's "timeless modernity,"[8] as Lagerfeld put it.
Like the variegated yarns that make up the brand's famous tweeds, elements of these motifs still thread through each collection. Although he shares with his predecessor a love of looks both lean and luxe, boyish and feminine, Lagerfeld has from the start taken Coco's sacred codes and subverted them—mocked them, even, as he borrows from pop culture and injects a soupçon of biting wit. "I play with Chanel's elements like a musician plays with notes," he told the fashion writer Suzy Menkes in 2010. "You don't have to make the same music if you are a decent musician."[9]
Upon Chanel's time-honored themes, Lagerfeld continues to improvise his own visionary opus, rocking the house for three decades. A deep knowledge of historic costume and art history informs his work; his inspirations range from Beau Brummel to the bobbin lacemakers of Brazil. The annual Métiers d'Art collection provides him free reign to unleash his most lavish and virtuosic haute-couture fantasies.The house of Chanel has had two masters, but as it sails into its second century, its signature has remained the same—bold, understated elegance. To borrow another Coco-ism: "Fashion passes, style remains."[10]
Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel sets up a millinery shop in the Paris apartment of her lover, the racehorse enthusiast Étienne Balsan. Ladies flock to 160 boulevard Malesherbes for her chic hats.
Backed by her new beau, Arthur "Boy" Capel, Coco establishes Chanel Modes, a millinery salon at 21 Rue Cambon. In coming years, the house will expand to take over numbers 27, 29, and 31. Coco Chanel is licensed as a modiste, or designer of women's fashions. Her hats are featured in the Parisian illustrated magazines, and photographed on leading stage actresses. At the Longchamp races, Coco creates a stir in the first incarnation of the Chanel suit. She later calls her signature garment the "fashion statement of the century."[11]
Coco Chanel opens a namesake boutique selling hats and women's clothing in Deauville, a seaside racing resort. She is seen wearing a white camellia—the symbol of a courtesan—later to become a signature motif. Chanel coats are some of "What Fashionable Folk Are Wearing at Deauville,"[12] The New York Times reports.
Paris's elite flee the city at the outbreak of World War I, many arriving in Deauville having left their wardrobes behind. Sales of Chanel's casual, sporty togs spike as women take on more active wartime roles. Women's Wear predicts "a great success"[13] for her new sweaters of wool jersey. The chemise dress makes its first appearance.
Chanel-Biarritz, a couture salon, opens in the coastal town in southwestern France.
Chanel buys a large stock of surplus jersey from textile maker Rodier and whips it into chic belted coats and skirts in a daring, ankle-baring length. In February, Chanel's sports suits appear in American Vogue for the first time. Copies of the suits—called vareuses, or tunic-smocks—are soon seen in American department stores. Her first couture collection debuts in fall.
Two-piece suits, worn with wide sailor-collared blouses, feature large pockets. In contrast to the elaborate coiffures of the day, Chanel gives herself a chic bob—one of the first notable women to do so. The maison has expanded to five workrooms.
Chanel makes a fortune off her fur-trimmed pieces (due to wartime shortages, she uses beaver and rabbit). Women's lounging pajamas introduced, as well as cardigans and twinsets. Matching coat linings and blouses, later to become a Chanel signature, appear for the first time.
Coco Chanel is officially registered as a couturière, with a maison de couture established at 31 Rue Cambon, Paris. Exquisite evening gowns of jet-beaded Chantilly lace and black velvet capes trimmed with ostrich are the height of chic. Chanel later remarks that 1919 was the year "I woke up famous."[14]
A romance with Russia's Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich will inspire a three-year period of Russian folkloric patterns. Exquisite handiwork is done by Dmitri's sister, the exiled grand duchess Marie Pavlovna; she establishes the embroidery workshop Kitmir, which furnishes designs for the spring 1922 collection—notably, the Roubachka, a peasant blouse made in black crepe de chine. On her first visit to Venice, Chanel wears sailor-style bell-bottoms, sparking a trend for yachting trousers. Strolling the sunbaked Lido, she is compelled by the heat to fashion a pair of cork-soled sandals, executed by a local bootmaker. Rouge Coromandel lip color introduced.
The designer taps perfumer Ernest Beaux to create a namesake scent. She dubs the intoxicating mixture, made up of 83-plus ingredients, Chanel No. 5, after her lucky number.

A snowy end to the week could herald more wintery conditions for Sharon, according to the National Weather Service.
The week kicked off with a wintry start, as several inches of snow landed on the area by Tuesday morning. While Tuesday night through Thursday are predicted to be clear, temperatures will climb only between 1 and 18 degrees.
A chance of snow is predicted again for Friday and Saturday, with limited accumulation.
According to the Center for Disease Control:
When winter temperatures drop significantly below normal, staying warm and safe can become a challenge. Extremely cold temperatures often accompany a winter storm, so you may have to cope with power failures and icy roads. Although staying indoors as much as possible can help reduce the risk of car crashes and falls on the ice, you may also face indoor hazards. Many homes will be too cold—either due to a power failure or because the heating system isn't adequate for the weather. When people must use space heaters and fireplaces to stay warm, the risk of household fires increases, as well as the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Exposure to cold temperatures, whether indoors or outside, can cause other serious or life-threatening health problems. Infants and the elderly are particularly at risk, but anyone can be affected.
Do you enjoy the cold? Are you counting down the days until spring? How do you keep warm around town? Tell us in the comments!

Everett Golson has opened up about the cheating incident that kept him from playing for the Fighting Irish this year, and why he chose to stick it out in hopes of returning to Notre Dame in January.
Golson told Sports Illustrated he expects the university will let him return to school, and the team. "My heart was set on going back to Notre Dame," said Golson. "Not necessarily to prove to anybody, just really doing it for me...I was going to face it."
For the past two months Golson says he's been working with a private quarterback coach that he thinks has made a better "more polished" player. But, Golson says he's more focused on getting back into the classroom, because that is where he made his "poor judgement on the test."
Golson was a redshirt freshman last year, and part of the Irish's 12-0 regular season that led to them playing in the national title game.

@FGCU_MTEN Looks To Extend Unbeaten Streak At Northern Kentucky And Lipscomb
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Riding a three-match win streak in Atlantic Sun play, the FGCU men's tennis team will look to extend its undefeated ways this weekend as the Eagles hit the road facing Northern Kentucky on Friday in Highland Heights and Lipscomb the following day in Nashville, both at 2 p.m.
"We're looking forward to competing against two solid A-Sun teams this weekend," head coach C.J. Weber said. "We've never played at NKU before so we are excited for that, and the last time we played at Lipscomb we fell, 4-3, so Saturday will be a great opportunity to avenge that loss. These are two very important matches for us, especially with the season ending so soon."
With three wins and a pair of losses, FGCU (8-9 overall) is listed third in the A-Sun standings, behind ETSU and North Florida at the top. After opening conference play with 5-2 losses against UNF and ETSU, the Eagles rebounded in dominant fashion beating USC Upstate, 4-3, Kennesaw state, 5-2, and Mercer, 5-1. Leading the team in doubles play with a record of 10-4 (2-2 A-Sun) are partners Dean Tsamas (Lexington, Ky./Henry Clay HS) and Jordi Vives (Barcelona, Spain/IES Ferran Tallada/USC), while No. 62 Vives' mark of 14-2 (5-0 A-Sun) in singles play is the best in the conference.
After dropping each of its four pervious A-Sun matchups, NKU (4-9 overall) enters the contest against FGCU looking to claim its first conference victory of the season. Earlier this spring the Norse were shutout, 7-0, by Kennesaw State and ETSU, and suffered 5-2 defeats to Mercer and USC Upstate. Meeting for just the second time, FGCU leads the all-time series, 1-0, against NKU, having won their first head-to-head matchup in 2013 with a powerful 7-0 shutout.
Friday's match against NKU will be shown live on A-Sun.TV, and will be available to watch free of charge here.
With an overall mark of 2-10 (1-3 A-Sun), Lipscomb welcomes FGCU looking to claim its first conference win in front of its home fans. The Bisons began conference play beating Mercer, 4-3, but have dropped their last three, falling 6-1 to Kennesaw State and Upstate, and 6-0 to ETSU. With the all-time series between the two an even 3-3, the Eagles enter this year's matchup with the Bisons looking to tilt the score in their favor for the first time since 2010. In their first two meetings, FGCU came away victorious, but Lipscomb answered winning the next three with close scores of 4-3 in each. In last year's dual match, the Eagles flew to a dominant 6-1 win.
Upon their return, the Green and Blue will end the regular season hosting Stetson for Senior Day on April 12 at 1 p.m. For complete coverage of FGCU men's tennis over the weekend, follow us on Twitter @FGCU_MTEN and visit www.FGCUAthletics.com where full recaps and results will be available at the end of each day.

CATEGORIES MoviesWhile Jason Segel may be out of the picture, the Muppets must go on.
According to Deadline.com, during the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas, Walt Disney Studios announced three new animated flicks coming down the pike and (to the shock of no one) confirmed the Muppets sequel, which sees the return of director James Bobin and a script penned by Bobin and Nicholas Stoller.
Pixar also sent around a press release, which outlines their upcoming features:
"The Good Dinosaur" -- Bob Peterson ("Up") plays with the hypothetical in this animated comedy, as the film explores the biggest "what if" in the galaxy: "What if the cataclysmic asteroid that forever changed life on Earth actually missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct?" The film is set to hit theaters on May 30, 2014.
"Untitled Pixar Movie That Takes You Inside The Mind" -- Here's hoping they don't change that title! This animated flick endeavors to be as close to an Epcot ride as possible, apparently: "From director Pete Docter ("Up," "Monsters, Inc.") and producer Jonas Rivera ("Up"), the inventive new film will take you to a place that everyone knows, but no one has ever seen: the world inside the human mind." The film's release date is June 19, 2015.
"Untitled Pixar Movie About Dia De Los Muertos" -- Pixar gets multicultural! From "Toy Story 3" director Lee Unkrich, this movie "delves into the vibrant holiday of Dia de los Muertos." Release date to be announced.
Pixar's next film, "Brave," is set to hit theaters on June 22.

An interesting article came up on Unique Rentals From Around The World. I found this article really interesting, because it was one of those that really brough you back to your childhood. In Arlena Di Castro, Italy they brings us a delightful oddball rental: a treehouse. Now when you go on vacation you can forget about renting a hotel and take a look at the treehouse nestled in the olive groves of Italy. For $458 a night, full electricity, a cozy double bedrrom,space on the balcony for breakfast and a "childhood fantsy fantsy with a dose of grownup luxury" is what this treehouse owner is asking for this one night stay.
This is a professional business that offers different experince and childhood experiences.

Comments about RhythmTech Studio Shaker:
I have purchased lots of shakers in the past. They bring color and fill to the mix. Most of them do not offer the volume or tone needed for a professional sound. The large Rhythm Tech shaker has the right stuff to cut through the mix. Is not too heavy but it has the feel of a musical instrument, not a toy. Well done!
Comments about RhythmTech Studio Shaker:
We have this and the live version at my church and this sounds great. it has an awesome dry, almost-rainstick sound. despite being the studio version it works fine for kinda soft live music. i recommend it.
