I sure hope they don't transform the Columbia into the Black Pearl while this Pirate Island fad is going on.
I say you keep the original Tom S. Island or go all out with pirates (although I wouldn't mind a Black Pearl) I just do not see the sense of combing the two. If you have pirates in the island, most kids expect Jack Sparrow type stuff, not Tom Sawyer pirates.
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow, Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine.
Well, whatever, we just need to say "Goodbye TSI may you rest in peace!"

As i said... I am growing tired of the Pirate thing, and I used to love pirates.

I'd rather have the canon effect with the breakin chimneys moved from the TSI stage to Fort Wilderness. Using cannon-effects like in TDS's Meditarean Harbor ship with the effect across the river "flames", smoke, sound effects, and falling trees. Oh, and also the water splash effect.
Having this at the TSI stage shooting at NOS seems too weird and you loose an atmospheric effect to noisy cannon fire and crumbling brick.
Besides, with the effect at Fort Wilderness, guests will surely explore around that part of the island.

Here's my thing... I'm a huge pirates fan, before the movies ever were released... and yes it does seem like overkill, but TSI, for being what it was... it was a playground of dirt... I think what they are doing will bring in more people... if stupid people... but I like the idea. Also, those poor creatures need a rehaul... or just should be replaced... lol I like the eye patches idea... that's just so tacky but I love it.
As for kids and everyone on the planet dressing up like a pirate last year... yes that got a little annoying... especially if you were already a fan of POTC the ride before the films were released... you know the ppl who do it too are just doing it for a fad... and not for actually the adoration of the aspect of pirates and folklore of them.

Why is everybody making Tom Sawyer Island out to be a part of Yesterland?
Maybe I'm being a little too hopeful, but Disney has made it clear that they know we didn't like the original Pirate Island re-theme, so they've changed that. The Island will now be "Pirate's Lair at Tom Sawyer Island" - the Island is going to be a pirate hideaway as imagined by Tom and Huck.
This isn't Jack Sparrow Island. It's still Tom Sawyer Island.
I'm willing to bet that since the LA Times editorial, and the initial cries of dissent in the online communities, Disney knows that they're messing with hallowed ground.
They did right with the Pirates of the Caribbean enhancements. And with that, I'm going to be a little more optimistic for once and bet they'll do right with the Tom Sawyer Island enhancements.
They know they're playing with fire, and they're going to be careful with that.
sanguine poppet...you're "playground of dirt" really hit home with my thoughts.
I'm all for the changes. TSI isn't for adults, it's for kids...and as of now there's hardly anything interactive about it, which is sad. With these creative new ideas with the cannons and such, it sounds like the island is going to be full of life again, and I have a distinct feeling that adults are going to enjoy the updates as well. You can bet your bottom dollar that I'm going to raft over there the blow up New Orleans Square!
I'm really hoping that "wildlife" etc. gets some serious TLC...they need total replacements of themselves. Not changing what they are, but they're so dilapidated that it's sickening.
I am a HUGE pirates fan (hey, I almost liked Dead Man's Chest more
than Curse of the Black Pearl) and planned my Capt Jack Sparrow
outfit from the moment I first saw Curse of the Black Pearl, and
only saw one other person dressed at Capt Jack, that year.
But this past year has been overload for me too an don't really care
for the pirate band in New Orleans Square. Hopefully they will ship
them over to the island too! hahahaha
As far as Tom Sawyer Island getting some attention. I think a lot
of people are expecting a lot more changes, than will actually happen.
This will need to be a quick go over, so it really doesn't allow for
much time for any huge changes. And with word that they are
going to keep it more of a Tom's River Pirates, I'm really not too
. . . . . except for of course that poor deer with the skin
condition, and that poor misplaced Shaggy Dog/ Polar Bear
hybrid. Unfortunately, until they earmark some money for
some of the sets that you see while on the Columbia, Mark
Twain, and canoes, like the Indian Village and ALL the critters.
Pop quiz:
True or False: The pirates that inhabit the new...ahem..."Pirate's Lair" will be properly themed to reflect Mississippi River pirates of the 1830s, complete with buckskin jackets with fringe, powder horns, Kentucky Long rifles and ****-skin caps.
True or False: There won't be anyone wearing a scabbard on the island, because, as far as we know, Mississippi River Pirates didn't engage in much swordplay.
If you answered "true" to any question in this quiz, you fail.

Type Cover 3 - trackpad size and gestures
So the SP3 is looking very tempting as a laptop replacement (although waiting till August in the UK is gonna be tough).
Just wondering if anybody had any input on the trackpad size. I know it's whatever% bigger than the old one, but how does it actually compare to laptops?
For reference, my current daily driver is an Asus S300CA - pretty budget machine that I upgraded internally. Wanted to swap to a Yoga 2 Pro, but the trackpad size on that really held me back.
That and the gestures being worse IMO than my Asus... Gestures are actually a bit of sticking point for me - even downgraded the driver on the Asus because the new one replaced my 3 finger app switching to some slow, janky Asus made switcher... Anybody know what Surface gestures are like?

12oz bottle into a pint glass...Pours very dark for a pale ale, a dirty, medium copper with a light tan head, good retention here...Aroma is super light, only light hops come through...The taste is also pretty light, bready backbone, spicey, with some hops coming through, not enough to get me excited. This doesn't taste bad, just doesn't have a ton of flavor. Full bodied, but one bottle is more than enough to drink.

12 oz bottle poured into pint glass.
Pours a slight dark amber color with a 1 finger khaki head. The head seems to dissipate very quickly. Aroma is a mixed bag notes. There's a little bit of citrus working around but pine comes in the strongest. Lots of bread in the first taste. Some bitter grapefruit peel. Not a whole lot of sweet here, just bitterness. The aftertaste comes thru surprisingly clean and light. Fairly light bodied, easy to drink, small ABV. I've had this beer several times and I think it's growing in me. This pale ale isn't world class, but a solid beer, worth a try and and occasional drinking session.
Update:10/24/13- got this fresh from a 16oz can, much much better fresh.

A: The beer is clear amber in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation along with some hues of yellow. It poured with a quarter finger high light beige head that has good retention properties and consistently left a thin head covering the surface along with lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of citrusy and floral hops and spicy rye are present in the nose.
T: The taste is similar to the smell, except that the rye is a little stronger and the spices stand out in the finish. There is a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The use of rye in this beer lends a little complexity and makes this pale ale have a very good balance among the malts, hops and rye.

A moderately aggressive pour resulted in a disproportionate gigantic, merangue-like head that filled 3/4 of the glass to overflowing. By the time I got the beer to settle down enough to sample, it was running low on carbonation. Well hopped, but no hop bomb by any means. Hopping was a bit rough around the edges with some raw notes.

Poured into a pint glass, this beer was a clear amber with an inch of creamy, foamy head. The smell was of citrusy hops but also a little cheesiness which might mean older hops were used but I'm not sure of this. The taste is a pretty good balance of malt and hops with a slight bitterness. Don't mistake this for an IPA, the hops are not very strong for an American style. The drinkability and mouthfeel were both good and made me wish I had another. There's not a whole lot to make this stand out amongst the many APA's out there but it's a good solid beer from a new brewery that I would buy again.

The beer poured a nice honey-amber colored body with a thin white head. Strong caramel malt aroma infused with a bit of fruity esters. Gentle caramel malt flavor with a very subtle apple-like fruitiness; a decent sharp bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium-light; smooth; crisp and semi-dry.
A good enough APA offering that doesn't break away with any distinctive qualities, but it's definitely drinkable.

A: Copper red, with a nice tan head.. a good bit of floaties in there as well. Little dark for the style..
S: Sweet carmel, and maple undertones. Slight hop scent from in the finish, but mostly a very sweet scent. The hops that are there are earthy.. Surprised there isn't more hop scent.
T: There are the hops.. Grapefruit, and citrus (tangerine) with a nice burnt carmel flavor in the finish. Fruity hops (tropical) with good balance of malt.
M: Medium body, with decent carbonation.
D: Good, well balanced, not amazing, but nice. A good balance of malt and hops, with a nice clean finish.

Appearance - orangy amber, lots of tiny particulate in suspension. Two big fingers of foam, had to pause the pour and wait for some settling. An airy, cakey head of light mocha leaves craggy trails of lace around the glass as it recedes.
Aroma - pleasant citrus and caramel grain. Even, not overbearing.
Taste - light caramel toasted edge to the grain, some earthy grassiness as well. Very fruity citrus angle to the hops. More of a bitter edge on the swallow, pushing a little medicinal. Dry, a little prickly on the aftertaste and finish, with a lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel - I like the smoothness, it gives the beer a bit of creaminess. Moderate to lower carbonation, fairly weighty for a pale ale.
Drinkability - I had no problem dispatching this sixer of Rivertown.

Do you have Published work with King ?
I'm not asking about working with the photographers. I'm asking how can the models submit for themselves and how do the photographers submit. I am well aware that every photographer just wants money but when a photographer knows a women has potential he is not gonna charge her because he knows that she will ay him off just buy her look.
So the question is what are the steps that Photographers take to get Publication. Steps that models don't need middle men for and can do themselves.. ?
DanaColePix answered your question...go to the magazine's website...find their submission requirements and submit...or go to a casting...by the way...who/what is "King Magazine"?
Yes photographers want money..photography is an art but it is also a business. It takes cash to buy camera's, lighting, backdrops, props, studio rental etc. Models don't publish themselves in magazines because the photographer owns the copyright to the photograph, unless he signs them away in writing. If you want to be published..be a business as well as a model and work a deal of some sort with your photographer. become part of a team and make a win win situation for both you, the photographer and the publication.
Yup. Models can't (generally) submit because they are (generally) the copyright holder. So the route is to work with photographers that regularly submit and get published.
As to how those photographers get published . . . that's not an easy road and is about lots of submissions and building relationships with editors.
Lol King and Smooth are urban/black eye candy magazines featuring typically black or ethnic women and usually focused on the backside of the woman instead of traditional white magazines which use to feature overly exaggerated breast. You can think of 70's blondes in playboy, I do love me some King though would love to be featured but I don't shoot that kind of work. Maybe someday
King and other Men's and adult magazines are not in my line of business, but all publications provide a way to contact the editor or staff directly. A lot of online publications are not linked directly with the print publication, therefore you may find yourself contacting two different departments, depending on your interest.
When it comes to submitting work, it is far easier if the photographer (not the model) submits the work, because the paperwork (licensing, copyright ownership, etc.) is very straightforward.
Magazines are reluctant to publish work submitted by a model, unless the model has all of her ducks in a row.
In most scenarios, if the magazine wants to publish the model, they will use their own staff or hire a photographer on a "work for hire" basis, for obvious reasons.
This is wrong.
The photographer hires a model, and sells the shots to the publication. In some cases the photographer shoots the model for without paying her, and submits the work to the publication for free (Believe it or not, it does happen).
If the publication has access to the model, and finds it cheaper/easier to hire her directly, they will do so, but any photographer that thinks they are doing the model a "favor" by not charging her may not be very experienced.
Remember that ultimately the publication wants to attract readers/viewers, and articles/photos have to appeal to their audience.
If the photographer/model wants to make a living then he/she will need to charge for their services.
If the photographer is poor, or the model looks like every other model that is knocking on the publication's door, then they are very unlikely to get hired.
Model offers a look that is very appealing.
Model gets hired/paid by photographer (or publication)
Photographer gets paid by publication.
Publication gains viewers and/or sells publication which helps create revenue, by selling issues, or selling advertising space.
Getting published is a side-effect of working as a model or photographer for a publication, not a goal.
It is obvious that he was not going to go anywhere with this information, but it is informative for others that are interested in the topic.
This thread died in December of 2010, why resurrect it from the dead?
theres been plenty of other educational resources posted about magazine submissions in the last couple years since this one was started and now dug up.
Let this thread die, or maybe a Mod will lock it.
Grave digging threads FTL.

New faces of day labor 0 commentsNov 16, 2009 10:51 AMGive Credit to Mish for finding this story in the Las Vegas Sun. I'd imagine that it's happening all over the country, but Las Vegas is especially hurting with their 13.9% unemployment rate.
In Vegas times are rough. We read this story about a 50 year old US citizen who lost his job at a casino and now stands outside Home Depot with immigrants looking for day labor. He worked in various hotels, restaurants and casinos for 30 years, but no tries to scrape by with 8 dollar an hour day labor. In his best week he made 140 bucks. Jobs that only immigrants would do? Not for this guy."It's the equivalent of selling apples in the Great Depression," said Harley Shaiken, chairman of the Center for Latin American studies at the University of California, Berkeley."
His sojourn got off to a rocky start. On one of his first days on the street outside Home Depot, another laborer told him he should move along because too many people were at the spot.
"I told him, 'I'm an American citizen and you're trying to push me off American soil?' " The man walked away, and Buchanan says he hasn't had another problem with his competitors since.
Instead, Buchanan has found himself defending the rights of his fellow laborers on more than one occasion. One day, a man tried to hire a bunch of them for $5 an hour. Again, Buchanan pulled out the "citizen card." But this time, he was telling the other person that he, a U.S. citizen, knew about minimum wage laws, and was going to make sure those laws were followed. "I said, 'You want me to write down your license plate number?' " Buchanan recalled. The guy drove away.
Now, he said, "I get along with everybody here."
This day labor seems to be learning the little tricks of the job. He stands in smaller groups because he thinks it helps him get work. He's more aggressive when cars come by ( he was to shy to get work early in his day labor career). He also focuses on the end of the month when people tend to move in and out of housing.
This story seems to go along with the NY Times Walmart exec who points out a surge in food sales at the end of the month when payday hits.
"There are families not eating at the end of the month," said Stephen Quinn, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Wal-Mart Stores, and "literally lining up at midnight" at Wal-Mart stores waiting to buy food when paychecks or government checks land in their accounts."
The economy might be "improving", but in a nominal GDP sense.Themes: The economy, unemploymentBack To John Galt's Instablog HomePage »

Allan Stein
Posted February 7, 2001
We've been here before
Reading 'Allen Stein' is a literary version of 'Name that Tune'. Ideas and motifs appear, which we have seen in other books. Unfortunately, they appear in much better books. There's the obsession of an adult man with a boy (see 'Death in Venice' by Mann). The story, to an extent, is about a gay man in the literary world spending time in Paris (Edmund White's 'The Married Man'). What else? The story also blends factual information of a real person (please read 'The Hours' by Michael Cunningham). And there's the jumping back and forth in time (such as in 'Now and Then' by William Corlett, and what a surprise, 'The Hours') Look at me, I'm Thomas Mann. I'm Edmund White. Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee. Really, this is the first 'Lammy' winner I've ever read which has been a disappointment. The 'love story' in the book lacks any type of depth. It has neither warmth, hypnotic intensity, or basically good ol' eroticism. Pages are spent describing the boy's ribs and clavical. The passages involving Allan Stein are too simplistic. See Allan on the beach. Run, Allan, run.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Local filmmakers Francine Cavanaugh and Adams Wood bring their 2002 feature documentary to the Fine Arts for one showing to benefit the Asheville Community Resource Center — which, not unlike many of the nonprofit organizations depicted in Boom: The Sound of Eviction, was forced out of its operating location against its wishes.
While Boom deals specifically with the results of the gentrification of lower-income California neighborhoods in San Francisco and Oakland during the dot-com boom a few years back, its lessons are hardly irrelevant to the ACRC situation — or to any number of situations facing Asheville (or, indeed, any growing city).
Having moved to Asheville from Fort Pierce, Fla. — a town that was forever projecting plans for the "revitalization" of a "blighted area" — I've witnessed some of this before. And I've often wondered just where the low-income families living in that area were supposed to go once neighborhood-improvement permitted itself the luxury of occurring.
Boom makes it clear that my personal suspicion — that those in charge didn't care so long as the residents went elsewhere — was pretty much on target. This documentary clearly and coherently depicts the displacement of low-income families, along with the elderly and the artistic community, as the parts of town they inhabit are taken over by interests with more money, and more power.
In some ways, it's an old story — and one that those of us in the South have experienced through the years. (How many times have you found yourself confronted with someone moving into a town they professes to "just love," only to get that whiff of condescension about "amateur night in Dixie," as they proceed to tell us how they're going to "improve" things and show us "how it should be done"?) The specifics — notably the dot-com aspect of this particular story — don't matter; the basic saga is the same.
The filmmakers do a very good job of making this point, even if it's done in a blatantly propagandistic manner. They fill the screen with likable, hard-working residents who are being forced out by unfair eviction practices, but they never show us any trace of the very real downside of those neighborhoods that already existed. There's nary a derelict, a drug dealer or a hooker in the world we see — and the only homeless people in evidence are those put on the street by the current wave of gentrification. Similarly, the film has a tendency to skirt the fact that most of the artists being displaced were themselves originally part of an earlier gentrification process in these neighborhoods.
On the other hand, each and every one of the dot-com people are not merely unlikable, they're so downright strange that they come across like modern versions of the decadent refugees from 1920s Germany. None of this is unfair, since nowhere is it written that a documentary isn't supposed to choose sides and have a point of view. In fact, most documentaries have an agenda, or they wouldn't be made at all.
Yet when you get the sense that things are being dealt from a stacked deck, it tends to make you feel like you're being given only part of the story, and that things are being deliberately withheld. It doesn't help that the film makes two ballot issues — Proposition L and Proposition K — central to its message, yet it never clearly explains what these proposed pieces of legislation entail. That, in fact, may be the film's greatest failing.
That said, Boom is often an amazingly powerful document about the lack of compassion inherent in the gentrification process — as well as a complete lack of understanding on the part of public officials in shepherding the very identity of their city. The film gives us San Francisco with a mayor — Willie Brown — who only sees the dazzlement of the quick fix, and is completely blind to what these sweeping changes will do to the very things that make San Francisco unique. It might be argued: "What profit a city if it gains the whole world and loses its identity?" In addressing this question — and many such others — Boom scores high marks.
At the same time, Boom is a chilling cautionary tale of what happens when the dizzying lie of endless prosperity finally collapses, leaving things not only unimproved, but in far worse shape than they were — the damage has been done, and may not be fixable. And that crucial point should be of great concern to any changing city anywhere.
Boom is being screened at 9 p.m. Thursday, March 25 at the Fine Arts Theater. Tickets ($5-$20) are being sold at the venue and through the filmmakers' own Mountain Eye Media.

Last week I was in my therapists office and I blurted out that I think I have been going through an identity crisis for the last like three years. When I said it, it really hit home and I thought "yeah that's true". But after I left and for the last week, I have been thinking that I may have been going through one all of my life.
I have often said that I feel like I have a host of different' personalities. But maybe I just don't know who I am. I tend to look over my life at the many opinions, many opposing actions and levels of happiness and sorrow, and it seems like it has all happened to several different people. In fact, it was all me.
I attribute part of this to the fact that there were always people pressuring me to be one thing or the other and it got me confused somehow. Maybe I am over-reacting and everyone feels like this. I wish I knew. Have you ever wanted to somehow read other people's minds just for the purpose of comparing there thoughts to yours?
I don't think that this will ever be resolved in me unfortunately. I am entirely too analytical as any of you who have followed my blog for a long period of time knows. I know that I am doing a lot better with that lately.
I hope you all have had a great week! Btw, I have a new blog now. It is called T.M.I. and it is exactly what it says, too much information. A lot of people say that I have no filter but I really try to, especially on this blog. I kind of feel like my blog has changed so much over the years and I have a mixed audience here. So, I am going to invite you all to my new blog but I will warn you, it could offend you or not be anything you would want to read about. But please understand that this blog is still so very much a part of me. The link is simply http://lala1966.wordpress.com/
Have a wonderful and restful weekend everyone!

The Inheritance of Loss: A Novelby Kiran Desai
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas lives an embittered judge who wants only to retire in peace, when his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, arrives on his doorstep. The judge's cook watches over her distractedly, for his thoughts are often on his son, Biju, who is hopscotching from one gritty New York restaurant to another. Kiran Desai's brilliant novel, published to huge acclaim, is a story of joy and despair. Her characters face numerous choices that majestically illuminate the consequences of colonialism as it collides with the modern world.
In a crumbling house in the remote northeastern Himalayas, an embittered, elderly judge finds his peaceful retirement turned upside down by the arrival of his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, but their world--and Sai's romance with her handsome Nepali tutor--is threatened by a Nepalese insurgency. By the author of Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard. Reprint. 50,000 first printing.

Merry Ghostmas, Newgrounds!
The #1 Guy is back in a different format. This is Blockhead's first dedicated Ghostmas Special, not an actual episode. For you newcomers in search of background on Ghostmas, check out Episodes 4 and 8 of the Blockhead series. Not that you need it, of course. Blockhead hasn't celebrated it the same way twice.
Running Time: 3 minutes or so. Just a little fun thing to keep you guys occupied until Episode 11 :)
Awesome! added to favs.
blockhead will change ghostmas to blockmas and funmas
Everyone buy everything, lmao. :D Way of the new age!
Gotta love the blocjhead character, so naively nice and sympathetic, but still completely random. :D The animation is smooth, the graphics are awesome, and the sequence of events is just genius. When he nails the spray can, for example, the animation is incredibly smooth, the flow of the running paint, small details like that combined with the regular character lip sync, simple movement and atmospheric scenes build up a really professional animation. Great work!
lol its too funny to live
Only Blockhead could change halloween to Ghostmas

In 1922, Fossil Cycad National Monument, in South Dakota, was established as the third NPS area to preserve fossils, however by the mid 1930s all the fossils visible at the surface had been removed, leaving nothing for visitors to see. As a result, congress removed Fossil Cycad National Monument from the National Park System in 1957.

ICE Blog
Welcome to our blog!
We'll be providing lots of entertaining updates about our bikes and trikes and life here at ICE.
Happy riding,
The ICE team
Spring clean your trike
Thursday, March 21, 2013 - 08:52 AM
Over the winter many of us will cycle a little less and will perhaps give their trike a hibernation period until spring arrives. For those who tucked their trike up safely for the winter, it's time to get it out on the trail to make the most of spring.
Hopefully you gave your trike a good clean, lubrication and service before you tucked it up over the winter months. Even so it's good to give it another once-over with the oil and polish. For cleaning tips read Nathan's article "Shiny, bright and lookin' good", and for lubrication advice read "Maintenance 101: Lubrication".
Before your first ride of the season give your trike a full service: check the derailleurs, brakes, suspension, drivetrain, frame, tracking and tyre pressure (we recommend 60-80 psi). Instructions for checking and adjusting your trike are in your manual (download the latest manuals and instructions here). If you are not sure, take your trike to your local dealer or competent bicycle mechanic.
Your trike is now ready to hit the trails, but remember that you may be a little creaky - be kind to your legs on the first few rides! Enjoy the scenery, enjoy the spring and look forward to another fantastic cycling season.

Silver Moments
Thursday, December 13, 2012 - 08:13 AM
I'm sat at the hospital waiting for a routine scan to check that the 3/4 of me I can't feel is healthy...and wondering where the three months since the Paralympics have gone. Train, plane, automobile...school, charity, business...the medal has been taking me on tour! At last though I've had 5 whole nights in a row in my own bed - woohoo, the longest run since July. I've only got one silver medal calling me for duty, so I wonder what it's like for other athletes who've got 4 golds! Don't get me wrong. It's a privilege to listen to the eight-year old boy tell me how much he loves riding his bike and wants to be an Olympian, or the fifteen-year old lad sharing his goal of running in Rio (he's in the top few in the country for his age, so it's not a long shot). The funniest thing about travelling with the medal, is that every time I go through an airport security, I get stopped. The first time they said there was a strange metal box in my bag they needed to check, but my the fifth time I realised the security team just wanted a peek of the medal!
So training has been lower key for a while, but I was at the gym the other day. Time wasn't on my side and I dumped by bags next to the bench press, and began a warm up until the bench came free. Ten minutes later a guy sitting recovering between reps stopped me.
"S'cuse me love" he started, "I've just got to say to you..." he stuttered a little, "Respect. Real respect." I assumed he was talking about the Paralympics, though couldn't figure out how he'd know I'd been in it.
"Errr, how come?" I smiled back.
"No-one would ever leave their bags next to us" he replied, "but you did. You trusted us. Respect for that."
"Oh..." I tailed off, surprised. "It didn't cross my mind."
"Exactly. Respect."
I can be a bit naive at times, and there's not much crime in places I've lived, but why wouldn't I trust them?
"There is something really valuable in one of those bags though" I couldn't help myself. "Do you want to see it?"
"No, no way. Just respect."
I think they were the taxi drivers I know train there every morning. Maybe some don't trust them, but they seemed like top guys to me. I dug out the medal anyway, and a gang of blokes quickly gathered round, nodding and saying stuff like "Respect. Silver"
The other 'silver' moment of the month happened this weekend, when I went back to visit Mytholmroyd (try and pronounce that), the village I grew up in. My mum had organised a coffee morning / book signing of Boundless and it happened to coincide with the official switch on of the village Christmas lights. The community had given me amazing support during the Paralympics, but they really went all out this time - with the only official silver post box in the country! A man from the Post Office came especially all the way from Newcastle, armed with silver tape to dress the box. Unfortunately he started on the wrong box so ran out of tape halfway through the big pillar box - but it got finished off with silver foil until every bit of red was covered. Very cool! Not sure it will last much longer than the Monday morning post pick up, but I'm moved by the thought and effort.
If there's one thing the silver medal has taught me (apart from how to nearly kill myself in training to get it), it's that there are some AMAZING people in the world with big hearts and generous spirits. Thank you all.

The U.S Department of Energy (DOE) is stressing incentives over regulations to improve the energy efficiency of datacenters.
The DOE's office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) gathered the top technology companies in Silicon Valley Wednesday to promote collaboration on strategies to improve overall energy efficiency. Datacenter energy issues are a growing concern for businesses and users as computers get more powerful, and the cost of running them and keeping them cool continues to increase.
Technology vendors represented at the forum, including rival chip makers Advanced Micro Devices and Intel, along with server vendors such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Sun Microsystems, have each been developing more energy-efficient products. But they and the DOE representatives acknowledged that datacenter energy usage needs to be addressed holistically.
The DOE can be a resource to the industry, not a regulator requiring datacenters to meet energy efficiency goals, said Andy Karsner, head of the EERE program.
"I don't know that right now there's a dramatic need for a regulatory move, particularly when you have the leaders of the industry…coming here with a sense of purpose," said Karsner.
Industry representatives said they work independently on improving the energy efficiency of individual products but that the federal government could provide tax credits, other financial incentives, or other resources to enhance overall energy efficiency.
"AMD and Intel keep doing their best to improve the performance [of processors], but the CPU is only half the story." said Kris Singh, director of strategic platform technology programs at AMD, which hosted the daylong energy conference at its headquarters in Sunnyvale, California.
Because this was the first meeting of what the DOE called a "tech industry working group," no specific recommendations were made and the schedule for future work remained open.
The DOE can fund research that individual product makers can't fund to look at how different components could work better together, said David Rodgers, acting deputy assistant secretary of EERE.
"A hardware company might improve the energy efficiency of a blade server and another company might improve the energy efficiency of a transformer to convert AC to DC. Right now very few people are doing research on how to integrate those two together," said Rodgers.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sponsors the Energy Star program rating the energy efficiency of home appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners and some commercial equipment. But some participants in the working group are skeptical that a comparable program could be applied to datacenters.
"I'm not sure about that," said Roger Schmidt, chief thermal architect at IBM. Because datacenters are much more complex with components from different manufacturers, it'd be hard to develop one Energy Star rating everyone would agree upon.
"What if [the rating] is bad, what do you do? Who are you going to point the finger to?" Schmidt asked.

Posted on CL Ridgid TS 3650 , Whats a reasonable Price ?
#1 posted 511 days ago
I agree Toolie, I think he was trying to sneak in a gloat ( brag ). From what I've seen out there for used Unisaws in the $500 range, they are usually a saw that is 3 phase, and was heavily used in an industrial setting. You'd be luckiy to have the saw up and running for $1000 after alot of work and parts, such as a single phase motor, switch, bearings, arbor, belts, fence, paint, and cleaning materials.

Has Google Grid View Killed the Subject Line?
With the most recent improvement to Gmail, Google has done more than just introduce a new way for users to engage with the marketing messages that arrive in their inbox. They've made possible something that email marketers everywhere have only dared dream of: optimizing to the open in real-time using machine learning.
It's called "Grid View." It takes the email marketing messages delivered to the Promotions Tab and turns them from this…
…into a visual showcase of "Featured Images" like this…
Featured Images are creatives served at the moment a person opens the Promotions Tab that are either specified by the sender before send, decided in real-time (providing you have the technology) or selected at random from the message by a Google algorithm.
The result is a far more "Pinteresting" experience for the user, and a new, exciting way of engaging and enticing openers for the sender. This amounts to yet another brilliant move by Google to improve the user experience and effectiveness of Gmail.
Google, who has struggled to build or buy social platform with scale, seems to have turned its innovation eye on email. An inherently mobile and social channel, email is already well loved by advertisers, publishers and users alike, so adapting the inbox experience to reflect other social platforms makes perfect sense.
The implications of this innovation, however, are much deeper than just some pretty pictures in the inbox. By introducing images that are served when the Promotions Tab is accessed, Google is making it possible to optimize open rates using the same technology long used to improve the performance of display, search, mobile and social campaigns.
Until now, email-marketing campaigns have lived and died by A/B testing. Two subject lines were sent to a test segment, and whichever produced the most opens was sent to the entire list. The problem with this, of course, is that it's a game of percentages and losses. If 60% opened on A, and 40% opened on B, the entire list got A going forward, and those that preferred B were sacrificed to the inefficiencies of the system.
But with "Grid View," it is now a possibility, if not yet a reality, that marketers can use machine-learning algorithms to learn which "Featured Image" will most likely result in an open.
So instead of Subject Line A and Subject Line B, marketers will be able to send Image A, Image B, Image C, Image D, and Image E, all at once, and then let the algorithm determine which of these images to serve to the person seeing it based on the device, time of day, location, behavior, gender, age, and even purchase history.
This is especially intriguing for marketers whose messages contain multiple offers. Now, instead of choosing one that will appeal to most of their subscriber base, they'll be able to create Featured Images for each offer, and let the performance of each creative define its delivery. The image served will always be the best choice given the data available for each customer and any expired or poor performing offers will be taken out of circulation.
When — not if — this happens, the time spent painstakingly segmenting and testing will become a distant memory, assuming Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail and the other major clients follow suit.
We can only hope!
This is not to say that subject lines and pre-headers are no longer important. They are. After all, this innovation only applies to Gmail users. Plus, there will be a certain number of users that will not use Grid View when visiting their Promotions Tab, or use their mobile phone, outlook, or another client to access their Gmail account. But for most of the Gmail audience, which is the most active and fastest growing of any of the free email client services, testing subject lines is no longer the only way to optimize to the open.
Google just opened a window. It's up to advertisers to climb through and drive email marketing success.
Reader Comments.
Great article Matt. The ability to have a visual subject-line really opens up the creative possibilities! I'm hoping Yahoo!, AOL and Hotmail follow suit as well.
Here's a tool to test out featured images for grid view.
Right now Grid View is an opt-in program and you can get signed up by registering for their field trial.

This move by Google is aimed to stem the attempts to get out of the promotions folder. We still think that's a worthy goal and, once there, follow-up is the way to make sure your emails get a response.
This assumes your message deserves to be opened. Use tools like rebump responsibly and reap the benefits.

Time to try a playoff beard
Posted By Adrian Dater On April 13, 2014 @ 11:32 pm In General Avs | No Comments
If there has been one constant in my life of 40-something years, it has been my smooth, well-razored face. Never had more than one day's growth probably in my whole adult life. But it's playoff time, and so why not? Why not grow a playoff beard?
That's my frowning face above at the prospect of reddish stubble about to invade my clean-cut look. I'll keep you posted on the progress. I don't expect to hear much from my wife in the coming days, as she hates beards more than I do.
I know what Minnesota Wild fans are already saying: "don't worry, you have one for long." I'll keep it as long as the Avs are in the playoffs though.
Why am I doing this?

Regatta set for May 10
Twenty-five students from Bordeaux France and their Nelson hosts were introduced to spring sailboat racing.
On April 21, five boats from the Kootenay Lake Sailing Association met 25 students from Bordeaux, France and their Nelson hosts at the Prestige Inn marina and introduced them to spring sailboat racing.
The students were in Nelson for two weeks and participated in a number of local activities.
The sailing trip was to Troupe Point and back in five- to 10-kilometre winds which provided a few exciting moments for some who had not sailed before.
The sailing association will be holding its first major regatta of the year, The Nelson Cup, on May 10 and 11 in Nelson with the start off of the end of the Hall Street wharf at 11 a.m. on May 10.

While treating any kind of pain naturally, ice is obviously better option and ice helps to alleviate the pain. Applying heat on any painful area can only aggravate the pain. Usually, it is not recommended to apply heat for gout because heating causes the capillaries to widen, which can cause swelling, inflammation and increased pain in gout affected area.
And as far as the question of Ice or Heat for gout is concerned, we found the following article to be very informative.
When tissue damage happens, the body has an automatic defense of creating heat and swelling to the area to prevent further damage. Swelling is the body's defense mechanism. There is a release of chemicals sent to the injury to create the swelling, which helps prevent movement to the area. Movement to an injured area can aggravate the injury and cause even more swelling and pain. Your body sees gout as an injury, and thus there is an automatic swelling process that happens.
Ice helps reduce swelling. It is recommended that for at least the first three to four days of the initial swelling with gout, ice is used to help reduce the inflammation and pain.
Heat should never be used during the first 48 to 72 hours of any injury, and because gout is considered an injury to your tissues, heat should not be used in this circumstance either. Heat is a very common form of treatment for many people for their injuries. However, it is a very misused form of treatment.
After the initial treatment of cold to the affected area, putting heat on the inflicted area of gout can be relaxing and help relieve stiffness and soreness. Heat is considered a treatment to be used during what is known as the subacute and chronic stages of the injury, or gout inflammation. During these stages, heat can be very effective in decreasing pain, and promoting healing. It works by increasing circulation, easing tightened muscles, muscle spasms, and preparing your stiff joints to move more efficiently.
Heat is one of the most popular forms of home treatments for stiffness, soreness, swelling and pain. If you know when to use it, it ccan be a beneficial aid in your gout flareup. Although the effects of heat usually do not last as long as cold treatments, they can offer temporary relief for up to an hour, or possibly longer.

Copyright 2005 Gannett Company, Inc. USA TODAY WILLISTON, Vt. -- The tipster from Illinois first called the Department of Homeland Security's hotline here on Feb. 15, when he reported that while he was helping a "Russian lady" change a flat tire, he saw a pipe bomb in the trunk of her car.
The tip set off a public safety alert in central Illinois, where state police and Naperville authorities responded to a bulletin from the DHS. The dragnet finally ended Feb. 21, when officers found the woman, her car and a device in the trunk.

The Amalfi Coast, Capri, and Naples Restaurants
Palazzo Petrucci
Palazzo Petrucci Review
In a 17th-century mansion facing the grand Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, Palazzo Petrucci doesn't lack for dramatic dining options—under the vaulted ceiling of the former stables, in the gallery where a glass partition reveals the kitchen, or in the cozy room overlooking the piazza. Fortify yourself with a complimentary glass of prosecco before agonizing between the à la carte offerings and the menu degustazione (€55). A popular starter is mille-feuille of local mozzarella with raw prawns and vegetable sauce. The paccheri all'impiedi (large tube pasta served standing on end) in a rich ricotta-and-meat sauce is an interesting twist on an old regional favorite. The interior is elegantly minimal; the culinary delights are anything but.

To all the people who keep saying that the Iraq war was Bush and Cheneyĺs personal war, for your information Bush brought it to a vote in both Congress and the Senate. Majority voted in favor of going to war. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Kerry all voted in favor.
The president is so happy about getting one of the men who created this mess in Benghazi. Whereĺs Hillary and whereĺs the other lady who lied so much? And right after he announced that, he released from Gitmo terrorists. What about that?
I want to say thank you to Toddĺs Tree Service and all the volunteers who helped at the Edgewood Cemetery. What a great joy and great job they did.
President Obama should negotiate with the Mexicans to get our American soldier out of prison. Our point is return him or we will send all the illegal prisoners we have back to Mexico.
To whoever keeps tearing down my sisterĺs sign, her cat is lost. Is your life so empty and meaningless that you have nothing better to do than rip down signs? Sheĺs trying to find her cat, it needs medicine. Youĺre being watched.
YOUĺRE DISGUSTING
Please whatever you can do, stop Obama from inviting illegal immigrants into this country. Thereĺs not enough food or work to go around now thanks to him. I think he was placed here to ruin this country and heĺs doing a darn good job of it. God bless America and please pray that he gets impeached soon.
It would be nice if New Hanover Township would post the minutes of their 2014 Board of Supervisors meetings on the website. Itĺs only July next week. Get with it.
So sad to drive down North Franklin Street past the Pottstown High School. No lights in the football stadium. Been a tradition for years but they had plenty of money to give raises to the administration. Bet that had something to do with the kids playing under the lights.
The borough are not the ones who paved Wilson Street, the Derby did that. So letĺs get it straight.
All you people complaining in Pottstown, how many of you go to the council meetings and school meetings? Get out of your caves and get to the meetings.
If you buy into the noise coming from the right, you would think this country is on the fringe of collapse. In the real world we are safer and better off now compared to where we were seven years ago. The main threat to our country comes from within. The fact we have a Republican led Congress with an approval rating of 7 percent is a clear indication of where the real threat lies.
The word ôcrackerö is not derogatory or a term to flinch about. I am a proud coal cracker. The dictionary meaning reads, ôcrazy.ö I guess my grandfather and uncles were crazy to work in the belly of the coal mines.
My friend and I enjoy Brookside Family Restaurant for great dinners and fantastic soup and salad bar. All the staff is so courteous and polite. We especially want to thank Crystal for being a wonderful waitress and making us smile throughout our meal. Thank you for making us feel special.
The other day Nancy Pelosi was on the news and she thinks it is an opportunity to have immigrant children come into the U.S. That woman is a piece of work if she thinks itĺs OK. Why doesnĺt she take some of them home, better yet, adopt them and spend her money instead of the taxpayersĺ money.
If a school board votes to give a school superintendent a raise, it must mean the school has been doing a great job in educating the children. If so, why then do students have to go to college to qualify for a job that a high school graduate did years ago?
Iĺm a senior citizen in Pottstown and I worked all my life. Pottstownĺs turned into Section 8. Those people need to get up and go to work, part time even. Then the kids get all the free lunches and all. And every year we only get a couple dollars raise in our Social Security. There should be no Section 8.
I am embarrassed to live in a nation that will leave veterans waiting on a list for medical treatment. All veterans should be treated alike Ś World War II, Desert Storm, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. They all risked their lives for us to remain free so if theyĺre injured or they need some type of medical assistance or anything as far as that goes, we are obligated to give it to them. They gave their life for us.

Runs up the obvious crack on the south side of the boulder. It starts with a high hand jam and a good, finger-size crack under the small overhang. There are decent jams and small crimps the entire way. The crux is keeping enough skin to finish the problem.
Problem is in the center of the south face. This boulder can easily be found just south from the Golf Club Boulder.
Bouldering pad recommended and tape comes in handy.

Packed Britain needs democratic planning
Fascinating to see from today's news quite how densely populated England is compared to other countries. Britain as a whole comes in tenth in the world of all countries with populations above ten million, with 253 people per sq km, ahead of China, Pakistan, and Germany. But when England alone is considered it jumps to third, at 395, only behind Bangladesh and South Korea and well ahead of the Netherlands, Belgium and Japan.
This helps explain why developments like windfarms, roads, and airport expansion are so controversial here, and why NIMBYism is such a potent force. And it shows how important it is to have a democratic planning system, which allows local people a voice, and why recent changes designed to speed the process up by diminishing local accountability may well prove to be counterproductive as protests increase.

Alex Davies / Business Insider
In June, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a $4.4 million plan to create 353 electric vehicle charging stations across the state.
On Monday, the results of that investment came to Manhattan. ChargePoint, a private provider of EV charging stations, installed a new station in the Solaire, an environmentally-progressive residential building in Battery Park City.
It is the first of more than 80 stations paid for by a $1 million incentive from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. ChargePoint will install them throughout the state.
The new station is in the Solaire's garage. The electricity is free; EV owners just need to pay the price of parking in the garage — a good deal for those who would have to park there anyway, and then tack on the cost and hassle of filling the tank with gas.

They crash onto the landing strip -- everybody flies about -- and Volkswagen-sized sparks shoot everywhere as they speed in, Barn Swallowing toward the hangar at Mr. Universe's base. The building itself. An engine, a wing, a fin, everything is torn off our girl as she slides in horrifically toward a wall. She spins, facing the opening of the tunnel she's blasted apart, and comes to a stop. Red emergency lights come on in the stillness. Zoe breathes, Mal breathes. Wash breathes.
"I am a leaf on the wind," he nearly cries, beautiful in relief, lit by the red lights of another crisis averted. "Watch how..."
Zoe falls to him. "Wash, baby. Baby, no. Baby, come on. You gotta go. Come on." It stretches out into forever. "We gotta move. Baby, please. We gotta move, baby, come on." As more bolts fire through the windscreen, Mal grabs her and the rest of them.
The team makes their way into the building. Zoe chooses the inner chamber as the first good hold point. Mal wants to stay together, but Zoe calls it as a good bottleneck for the Reavers -- if they get through the outside door, into the first chamber, they can defend the entrance proper until they're forced to retreat behind the blast doors leading to the elevator up to Mr. U's lair. Kaylee can rig the blast doors to stay closed once they're forced to retreat, buying even more time. "This is the place," says Zoe, cold and military. "We'll buy you the time." The crew begins to stack crates as a trench against the blast doors, so that they'll be as far back as possible for the siege ("Make sure they ain't filled with nothing goes boom," quoth Mal).
Kaylee looks around, panicked, for their always-forgotten brother: "Wait, Wash! Where's Wash?" Zoe strips, loads, cocks. "He ain't coming." Strip, load, cock. Jayne interrupts their eyes on her, telling them to get back to work on the gorramn crates." A bulwark is completed; River and Kaylee and Simon load guns, Zoe and Jayne on the edges. To the sound of Reavers coming, growling, howling, Mal asks Jayne to please admit he "brought them this time." Jayne pulls out his grenades as Zoe continues, focused on the gun.
"Zoe?" Mal turns her around. "Are you here?" She looks at him, solid, still as ground. "Do the job, sir." He searches her face. "You hold. Hold till I get back." She stares at him. He's not talking about the Reavers. Jayne: "Captain's right. Can't be thinking on revenge if we're gonna get through this." She scoffs. "Do you really think any of us are gonna get through this?" Hurt, Jayne hugs his gun to himself. "Well, I might?"

Leveraging MPST in Linux to Achieve Power-Performance GoalsMichael Jantz (email@example.com)
Recent computing trends include an increased focus on power and energy consumption and a need to support multi-tenant use cases, leading to a need to multiplex hardware efficiently and without performance interference. Advances in allocating CPU, storage and network resources have made it possible to meet competing service quality objectives while reducing power or energy demands. In comparison to other resources, however, it is challenging to obtain precise control over distribution of memory capacity, bandwidth, or power, when virtualizing and multiplexing system memory. That is because these effects intimately depend upon the results of activity across multiple layers of the vertical execution stack, which are often not available in any individual component. As data-intensive computing continues to raise demands on memory, adaptive approaches are needed for improving power efficiency and performance isolation in the scheduling of memory.
We describe an approach that improves collaboration between applications, the Linux kernel, and hardware memory subsystem (controllers and the DIMMs) in order to balance power and performance objectives, and we present details of its implementation using the Linux 2.6.32 kernel (x64) as base. The implementation employs ACPI memory power state table (MPST) to organize system memory into power domains according to rank information. An application programming interface (API) in our implementation allows applications to efficiently communicate various provisioning goals concerning groups of virtual ranges to the kernel. The kernel biases allocation and reclamation algorithms in line with the provisioning goals. The goals may vary over time; thus at one time, the applications may request high power efficiency; and at another time, they may ask for bandwidth or capacity reservations, and so on. In this work, we will describe the framework, the changes for incorporating MPST information, policy modifications, and examples and use cases for invoking the new capabilities.

The Media Rating Council (MRC) has lifted its Viewable Impression Advisory. Now marketers can purchase display ads based on new viewability metrics.
The Media Rating Council (MRC) - the industry association that audits and accredits media measurement services - has lifted its Viewable Impression Advisory for display advertising, allowing the industry to start transacting on viewability metrics for the first time.
This update aims to lubricate the industry transition from a digital advertising currency based on served impressions, to one based on viewable impressions. Previously, there were a number of issues that were hindering the transition, including the inability of many measurers to determine the viewability of a significant percentage of ads. Additionally, numerous vendors were using various viewability measurements. Today's move by the MRC serves to mend these issues.
In collaboration with the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), the MRC also released guidelines defining what "viewability" means. For example, according to the new standards, 50 percent of an ad's pixels must be viewable for a minimum of one second in order to be deemed as viewable.
Meanwhile, the guidelines provide definitions of other viewable impression measurement-related terminologies, including viewable browser space, invalid impressions, and fraudulent impressions. They also specify measurement requirements.
According to David Gunzerath, senior vice president and associate director at MRC, the new standards will bring digital advertising to a stronger place, as they improve the quality of measurement and allow marketers to better understand the effectiveness of their online advertising.
Now marketers should be able to purchase display ads based on new viewability metrics. However, since the final parameters for defining a viewable video ad were just determined in January of this year, the MRC has suggested a gating period of an additional 90 days before marketers start transacting on viewable impressions for online video ads.
The MRC issued its first advisory on November 12, 2012, to identify issues in transaction on viewable impressions. Currently it has accredited 11 viewable impression measurers, including RealVu, comScore, vCE-Validation, DoubleVerify, Google Active View, spider.io (acquired by Google), Integral Ad Science, Alenty, Sizmek, Moat, WebSpectator, and Glam Media.
After the advisory was lifted today, the three industry associations that founded the 3MS initiative - the IAB, the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A's), and the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) - launched a YouTube video to highlight the importance of the MRC's new standards for viewable display advertising. Watch this below.
Additionally, following the MRC's announcement, media audience measurement giant Nielsen unveiled a global deal to expand Integral Ad Science's viewability data within Nielsen's Online Campaign Ratings (OCR).

Exclusive: Chanel For Rent-------
"For vintage, Chanel is the most glamorous and sought-after accessories and jewelry brand in the market today," Rent the Runway consulting fashion director Lucy Sykes tells Style.com. "To work with vintage Chanel products on any level is totally inspiring."
Starting tomorrow, Rent the Runway, a sort of Netflix for fashion that allows users to borrow pieces that retail in the high four and five figures for a rental fee, is adding vintage to its stable of options. Thanks to a partnership with Soho vintage shop What Goes Around Comes Around, Rent the Runway is beginning the retail initiative with Chanel, whose vintage pieces are among the most coveted there are. For four or eight days, a $6,160 Coco bag can be yours—for $350.
To show off their new goods, Rent the Runway enlisted the help of Sykes and photographer Sophie Elgort (daughter of the famed lensman Arthur Elgort) to shoot the goods at WGACA. "My inspiration was a little sixties and very dressed up," Sykes says of the look. "I wanted to have fun with it and throw in some fabulous hot pink Prabal [Gurung] dresses and a totally chic Moschino black dress with a cute peplum." Style.com has the exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from their shoot (below). Expect to see more vintage labels rolling out on Rent the Runway soon.
A New Coco Chanel Biography Heats Up, James Franco Does Invisible Art, The New Yorker Helps Out Fashion-Phobes, And More…-------
Biographer Lisa Chaney called her new Chanel exposé Coco Chanel: An Intimate Life. "Intimate" is putting it mildly. WWD reports that Chaney "claims to have concrete evidence that the designer used drugs, embraced bisexuality, and had an affair with Salvador Dalí while he was married." [WWD]
Over the weekend, the royal family convened for another wedding. The Queen, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, and more turned out for Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall's wedding at Canongate Kirk church in Edinburgh. The bride wore an ivory silk satin gown by Stewart Parvin. [Vogue.U.K.]
James Franco has delved into his latest project and it's called the Museum of Non-Visible Art. Wait, what? Yes, you won't actually be able to see the artwork—it's all about the imagination. But never mind that. The important part is, it's still for sale. [Hint]
Speaking of art with imagination, Alexander McQueen's revered designs on display at the Met are breaking museum records. As of Friday morning, at least 553,000 people had been through to see the exhibit and when it closes this weekend, it is expected to rank among the museum's 20 most popular exhibits since they started tracking the number of visitors over 50 years ago. [NYT]
At last, The New Yorker has provided a cure for the fashion-phobic male. For men who suffer from dizziness, feel uncomfortable with European sizing, and hate having to lug "garish shopping bags" home, Patricia Marx offers some advice on expanding your sartorial horizons. [The New Yorker]
In The Backseat With Louis Vuitton, Summer Crochet Hits The Streets (Literally), Gaga On Top, And More…-------
"Who wouldn't want to be this gorgeous young woman in the back seat of this beautiful car?" asks Marc Jacobs of his upcoming Fall Louis Vuitton ad campaign. Answer: no one. Even the dogs came barking to be in the picture, although only seven of them made the final cut to sit on the laps of the six up-and-coming models, including Daphne Groeneveld, Anais Pouliot, and Fei Fei Sun. [WWD]
She designs, she dictates trends, she… sings? The eternal Coco Chanel gets revived (literally) in Coco the musical, which comes to London's Sadler's Wells this June. Katherine Hepburn played the lady in the original Broadway production; Sara Kestelman, a Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theater alum, takes the part this time around. [Vogue U.K.]
We're in the mood for summer crochet, and so, it turns out, are a group of guerrilla artists. Sidewalk cracks, park benches, and telephones worldwide are being dressed up—"yarn bombed" as they call it—by graffiti grandmas. We'd say this is far and away in the lead for oddest summer trend. Anyone want to step up to unseat it? [NYT]
Red is the heart and sole of the Louboutin brand. Although Christian Louboutin secured rights to the rouge sole back in 2008, he's currently in court defending his brand's trademark. It's (sorry!) no shoe-in case just yet. [AdWeek]
She wasn't "Born This Way," but Lady Gaga has earned 32 million friends (on Facebook), 10 million Little Monsters (Twitter followers), $4.5 billion (in the last 12 months), and now, the top spot on Forbes' Celebrity 100 List. Now that Gaga has knocked Oprah as the reigning queen of the list, we can safely say the world has officially gone Gaga. [Forbes]
LFW Preview: Holly Fulton-------
In a new series, Style.com drops in on a few of London's hottest young talents to find out what's in store. Next up: Holly Fulton, who presents her collection tomorrow.
Holly Fulton found her inspiration for Fall 2011 while fishing in Scotland. Not the most glamorous of trips—until you hear that it's the same place a certain Mademoiselle Chanel also frequented with her lover, the Duke of Westminster. (It's where she developed her love of tweed.) Reading Justine Picardie's recent biography of Coco, Fulton was intrigued by the effect these breaks from Paris had on Chanel. "It was said she was a different woman when she was there," the designer explains. "Really relaxed. That's what set it off in my head."
In Fulton's head, of course, Chanel was a little wilder. She conceived an image of "Coco relaxing in Scotland among friends…maybe having taken some magic mushrooms and tripping out a little bit in the Highlands!" It might take a strong dose to come up with all the references Fulton makes in the new collection, from Marie Antoinette and Scarlett O'Hara to illustrator Heinz Edelmann's work on the Beatles' animated Yellow Submarine—"That's become a major section of new-tech prints, quite psychedelic and full-on," she notes—and the Pop artist Tom Wesselmann, whose smoking lips feature in another set of prints as well as in Perspex jewelry.

Coco Chanel has been all over the box office lately—played first by Audrey Tautou in Coco Before Chanel and, this September, by house favorite Anna Mouglalis in Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky. The latter has Coco in medias res at Chanel, which means a great wardrobe—and a pretty big challenge for costumers Chattoune Bourrec and Fabien Esnard-Lascombe, who work under the name Chattoune & Fab. But as they told Vogue.co.uk, they had a little help from a ponytailed guardian angel. "Karl has an inspiration cupboard where he keeps little prized vintage tokens—not all of them Chanel—but just special little finds that he uses to help him. He opened that up to us and said 'Help yourselves,' " Bourrec says. A gallery of their designs for the film are now on view over at the English mag's site, which should just about hold you over until the flick's 9/28 wide release.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A court ruling stripping a Minnesota couple of parental rights of their malnourished child has been upheld.
The state Appeals Court on Monday ruled an 8-year-old adopted boy was justifiably removed from the Nicollet County home. But the three-judge appeals panel also ruled that there was no reason to terminate custody of the couple's three other children, as the county was weighing.
The boy was the average weight of a 4-year-old when authorities intervened. He had developed unusual food behaviors that officials say were made worse by his parents' actions.
The boy has been with foster parents since being released from the hospital last year and has exhibited normal eating habits.
Mona and Russell Hauer reached plea deals on neglect charges and will be sentenced later this month.
