A fresco of French romantic painter Eugène Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People crowns The Inn At Versailles's stone fireplace. The mural's subject raises a fist clenching the French flag into the sky. Her gesture symbolizes the inn's rise from the ashes and unites its European-inspired artworks, many of which were painted locally.
A calamitous fire ravaged the village of Versailles in 1901, destroying six blocks of businesses and 38 homes. As residents rebuilt, they paid architectural homage to their town's namesake palace and to the Europe of the early 1900s. Since 1993, The Inn At Versailles has taken part in the European tradition with its vintage environs.
Local artists have ornamented nearly every room with original murals, frescoes, and prints inspired by Gallic culture at the turn of the century. The inn's guest rooms and suites join the elegance of ornate chandeliers, four-poster beds, and fireplaces with the modern pizzazz of TVs and WiFi access.
Complimentary continental breakfast every morning gives way to upscale lunch and dinner served at the onsite restaurant, Michael Anthony's at The Inn. Chef Michael Delligatta crafts upscale Italian fare bolstered by an international wine list that has garnered Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence every year since 2007. Visitors may carry their revelry to a nearby winery or one of the many other attractions in the village of Versailles.
At Aunt Katie's, the walls covered in black-and-white photos of women in baseball uniforms and team rosters filled with women's names. The eponymous Aunt Katie is Katie Horstman, who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1988 to commemorate her contribution to the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which the movie A League of Their Own made famous. The decor complements the menu of traditional cooking. Prime rib, lobster tails, and breaded pork chops comfort appetites better than a deep-fried Snuggie.
To the head baker of Sweet Eats Bake Shop, gluten-free, sugar-free, and vegan desserts should be every bit as flavorsome as their sugar-filled counterparts. She whips ups all her tasty treats from scratch, and instead of relying on chemically derived sugar substitutes, she swaps in organic agave nectar, honey, and fruit juices, and replaces vegetable oil with pumpkin or applesauce. To further refine her wide variety of tasty treats—including cupcakes, moon pies, cookies, and fudge—she mixes in unsalted creamery butter and fresh-fruit purees from local farmers. Her mouthwatering baked goods hit the road in their food truck and can sweeten special occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, or graduations.
A smattering of 20 sauces and seasonings dripping from handspun wings coats patrons' fingers as they cheer on their favorite professional sports teams broadcast on Buffalo Wild Wings' TVs. Eyes are torn between watching teams dribble a ball, shoot a puck, and land a grand jeté, and plates of plentiful wings, burgers, wraps, and salads. For more entertainment, trivia games exercise brains, and the Blazin' Challenge offers recognition for those brave enough to down a dozen wings slathered in the eatery's hottest sauce in six minutes.
The walls of LeDoux's Restaurant, which are honey-hued with well-loved patches of exposed brick, embody the warm, homey nature of Cajun cuisine. Steam infused with bay leaves, cayenne pepper, and andouille sausage spirals from cauldrons of jambalaya and gumbo. A fireplace pours forth its toasty affections in the bayou-inspired interior, where a fountain whispers softly alongside hanging plants that swing slowly over patrons like Tarzan during rush hour. At the full bar, mugs of Louisianan libations, such as Turbodog, Purple Haze, and Dixie ale, leave cool rings of condensation next to plates of fried frog legs and gator. Sated sighs drift from LeDoux's patio, where crackling torches cast orange accents on the liberal sprinkling of fleurs-de-lis that festoon the building and the staff's uniforms. On select nights, applause rolls over live musical acts and free-range shadow puppets.
Way more than just a pizzeria, the chefs at A Fat Boyz Pizzeria slice up fresh, locally-sourced ingredients that make their way onto a menu of breakfast, lunch, and?of course?pizza. From the kitchen, stacks of pancakes are carried out to tables alongside breakfast bowls lined with smoked salmon, sauteed spinach, hash browns, cheddar, and a poached egg. During evenings, you can stop by for a whole hand-tossed pie decorated with applewood smoked bacon, fresh veggies, and other classic ingredients. And more adventurous eaters can build all manner of unorthodox pie with toppings such as cream cheese and artichokes.

Appearance. Pours a hazy gold with over a finger of thick white head that leaves some nice bands of lace behind.
Smell. Fruity yeast and floral hops with a touch of light grainy malt and butterscotch.
Taste. Light caramel and spicy Belgian yeast, a touch of floral hops and smooth light malts.
Mouthfeel. Medium body. medium+ fine carbonation.
Overall. Not bad for the style but nothing I would seek out again. I'll stick with the wilder choices in the product line.

11.2oz into a tulip. Pours a hazy golden color w/ a fluffy white head, some patchy lace.
Aroma is floral, bready, yeasty w/ a hint of spice.
Taste is likewise gently floral and fruity with a lightly bitter finish.
Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, balanced.
Overall an enjoyable, drinkable BSPA but nothing extraordinary.

Poured into a Nostradamus flute glass. Pours a very hazy medium golden amber with a fine two finger white head with good retention and lots of lacing. Aroma of spicy Belgian yeast, cardamom, aged stone and apple juice, light bready malt. Flavor follows, with bready malt, apple and light stone fruit juice, Belgian yeast and spicing, hints of wheat; flavor beginning semi-sweet,but finishing a bit drier with a sharp Champagne-like peppery carbonation. Light to medium bodied, but with some smooth creaminess in the mouth feel. Flavors are somewhat subdued, but well balanced; a bit dry and astringent finish. A nice, light well made Belgian blonde. I will get this again.

Best before 1/11/14.
Pours a murky honey orange with a foamy bone head that fades to nothing. No lacing on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, yeast, and earthy aromas. Taste is much the same with grain and grassy flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an above average beer that is refreshing but somewhat mild and forgettable all around in my opinion.

3.21/5 rDev -8.5%
A steady pour into my Tripel Karmeliet tulip produces a three-finger thick, pale tan colored head (almost more of a full cream hue). The beer is a pale amber / gold color that shows clear'ish, full gold hue when held up to the light; additionally it shows an aggressive carbonation. The aroma smells of grassy grain, floral notes, cracker like malt, honey-like malt, and slightly metallic leaning, generic lager beer like, "beer" notes towards the finish that play a fairly prominent role; everything but the last is fairly inviting.
Slightly sweet, with a pale malt sweetness, touches of honey like malt character and a somewhat cider like fruitiness are found up front. The beer has a creamed corn like, sweet grain finish that has a bit of edge to it. Underneath this last, dominant note, is a touch of pale cracker like malt, a hint of floral / herbal hops and just a suggestion of hop bitterness. This does have a nice effervescence to it that nicely accentuates and offsets at the same time, the lightly viscous, easy drinking body that this beer has.
Hmm, I have always had a hole in my palate for recognizing DMS. It is one of those stupid things that should have been pointed out / associated to me long ago, but somehow never has been. Unfortunately, in this particular case, this beer has pinpointed that for me; this has a ton of it, creamed corn is perhaps a little bit in the right direction for this flavor, it is also slightly metallic, definitely accentuates sweetness and an off-sort-of fruitiness, but what it really reminds me of is cheap American lager that I drank at Frat parties in college. I should be ashamed to admit this discovery, but I am so happy to have filled this gap in my palate that I can easily overlook it. This is certainly a deeply flawed beer, but, my personal enjoyment of this beer is greatly enhanced by my personal discovery to define exactly what DMS in a beer is; I have distinctly noticed this in quite a few beers over the years, but for some reason not made the proper connection; I blame the fact that I learned early on techniques to avoid this in my own brewing, without personal, direct experience, so never had to really troubleshoot this particular off-character :-).
Hmm, I wonder how this mixes with the rest of the bottle of GFAR that I was otherwise going to turn into vinegar…..

China is letting U.S. firms play a bigger role in the industry in exchange for their U.S. expertise, says Oilprice.com.» Read More
Expectations of inflation have supported oil prices, but even though interest rates are set to rise, crude is unlikely to fall too much, Johannes Benigni, managing director at JBC Energy told CNBC Tuesday.

Now it can come down, Hudson thought.
After 22 days in captivity, the soldiers were a ragtag bunch -- they were dirty and hungry, and some were dressed in curious pajamas. But they were smiling. And by Sunday evening, doctors had cleared them to travel to Ramstein Air Base in Germany, the first stop on a long journey home.
"Elation!" said Natalie Hudson, who received a phone call at her mother's home in El Paso at 6 a.m. Sunday telling her that her husband, Spc. Joseph Neal Hudson, 23, of Alamogordo, N.M., was safe. "No, it's not elation. It's ecstasy! We're ecstatic."
Joseph's mother, Anecita Hudson, 51, of Alamogordo heard the news even earlier than Natalie. Anecita got a call from her sister in Japan at 5:30 a.m. Sunday. In a phone interview, Anecita was so excited, she could barely speak.
"I saw Joseph on TV, and he looked like he was laughing!" Anecita said. "I'm so happy. I'm so, so happy."
In El Paso, when Spc. Shoshana Johnson's mother, Eunice, answered the door at her home, a visiting friend, truck driver Ken Krueger, threw back his head and roared a "yee-haw" that could be heard around the neighborhood.
In Wichita, Kan., a Baptist congregation erupted in cheers and wept with joy when the Rev. Ron Pracht announced that Pfc. Patrick Wayne Miller, 23, was safe.
In Lithia Springs, Ga., Kaye Young watched choppy video of her 26-year-old son, Chief Warrant Officer Ronald D. Young Jr., running toward a waiting aircraft and safety. She worried that he looked thin, and smiled. It was good to be a regular mother again.
And here at Ft. Bliss, Fred Hudson, a chaplain, threw away the notes he had prepared for Palm Sunday.
Hudson had prepared an appropriately dark sermon, titled "When Darkness Reigns" and detailing the week leading up to the Crucifixion. But he threw it out at the last moment and announced the release of the prisoners to a jubilant crowd of soldiers and their families.
It has been a torturous three weeks at this sprawling Army base, home to five of the seven rescued POWs.
On March 23, about three dozen soldiers from Ft. Bliss' 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company, en route to connect with the Army's 3rd Infantry Division, stopped to repair two stalled vehicles near Nasiriyah in southern Iraq. A well-organized group of Iraqi forces, believed to be from the Fedayeen Saddam paramilitary unit, attacked.
At least nine U.S. soldiers were killed, devastating the military community at Ft. Bliss and in neighboring El Paso.
Friday, Ft. Bliss held a memorial service for the nine dead soldiers, and Hudson said in an interview that he had already begun planning for a second memorial. He had assumed -- like most here -- that the POWs were dead.
"I was just looking at their pictures the other night and thinking about the next memorial," Hudson said.
"I was thinking: Did you have to suffer before you died? Will we find your remains? This is literally too good to be true. This is an answer to so many prayers. It is a feeling of absolute joy."
Along with Johnson, Hudson and Miller, the rescued members of the 507th were Spc. Edgar Adan Hernandez, 21, of Mission, Texas; and Sgt. James Joseph Riley, 31, of Pennsauken, N.J.

So... don't condemn this article until one reads it fully through. First, there have been comments relinquished on MHH about Cooke and the hatred we have for him. And, if you ask me, the man deserves his due; however, I just read a great article on Bleacher Report, and I truly believe it is something to contemplate when discussing these events.
First, what is the point of spitting forth endless beat-downs about how much we hate Cooke? Sure, he took out our best offensive defensemen (perhaps our best d-man overall), and his absence won't impact the Wild in the same manner Barrie's will impact us. Sure, he intentionally stuck out his knee and kept the same trajectory in order to hit Barrie, but perhaps we should first analyze the man behind the career.
So, this BR article seems to try and displace the blame on the NHL's need for the "goon", in an attempt to further evaluate Cooke's conduct, which I think has some merit surely. But, the NHL does not dictate a man's actions on the ice; although, the system and coaches dictate his role surely. What I like about this article is that it discusses the reputation of Matt Cooke, and how he became the man he is now in today's game. His first 9 seasons in the NHL were a grand success in regards to suspension and gentlemanly conduct; furthermore, he played an important role similar to the one that Talbot plays for us. So, what causes a man of such importance on a team to swiftly change his gameplay? I have never seen any comments by Cooke on why he plays the way he does, but he was surely once a well-respected player in the league before he became a member of the Pens. Now, of course I am not blaming his current play-style on the Penguins' organization, but is there a certain stock one could place in the coaches having a role in the production of a dirty player?
I don't care what anyone says, Cooke does not want the reputation that he has earned through his indiscretions. So, here's what we're looking at. A player with multiple suspensions over the years, but nearly all of them coming since 2009, when he joined the Pens. As one reads the article, one sees that Cooke's transformation to one of the dirtiest players in the league happened rather quickly. What causes this transition in any player? Was it always there within the man he is? Sculpted from his insidious actions as the disgust with self continued to mount with his dirty plays, until the point where he just became this man. Or, was this feature of self molded from the role that was demanded of him? Either way, hockey fans are sick of it, and sick of this player in the league. I mean shit, Sobotka was lucky to return to that game after the knee on knee hit he took against Chicago.
I suppose what I'm trying to get to is that we are avid watchers of the Avs, and perhaps this pertains to all hockey as well (it does for me). And, we see the need for enforcers like Bordy or Cody Mc, but we all hate the player like Matt Cooke and wish his kind was not allowed in the game. All I am asking is that we evaluate these circumstances from a different point of view. I know that no hockey fan wants to give a break to the man that dismantled a player's career hopes, but is it not beneficial to further analyze where motivations for a player like this to exist come from? I hate Matt Cooke just the same as the rest of you, but this article is not written to incite riots, or the bashing of Matt Cooke and the Wild organization, but instead to look further into the issue and perhaps understand where the stem sprouts.

Officials have arrested two men in connection with three separate shootings in Laurens County that all happened within a few hours of each other.
The first shooting happened about 10:15 p.m. Friday when police said the suspects shot at a car along Third Street in Laurens.
A short time later, police said the suspects shot at two men on First Street about 1:45 a.m. The police report said the victims were standing near the road when two men got out of a car and shot at them.
The third shooting happened at Don'z and Diva'z Night Club on South Harper Extension.
All of the shootings happened within about a mile or so from each other.
Sevvy Boston, 20, was arrested Saturday and charged with attempted murder after Laurens County investigators said he shot another man inside Don'z and Diva'z. Police added additional charges when they connected him to the First and Third Street shootings.
Deputies said another suspect was arrested Monday in connection with the shootings. Erracrice Stroud, 19, was charged with attempted murder in connection with the club shooting.
On Tuesday, Laurens police said they also charged Stroud in connection with the other two shootings. Both men have been denied bonds on the attempted murder charges.
Investigators tell FOX Carolina they have been called to Don'z and Diva'z nearly 20 times for drugs, assaults, shootings and several other things. Right now, they're looking to meet with the Eighth Circuit Solicitor this week to have the club shut down.
The victim at the club was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Captain's Galley is a locally owned and operated business, and it has been sinking hunger pangs with meaty subs since 1978. Today, the restaurant continues to dole out a wide variety of half- and full-sized sandwiches, including Italian beef, Polish sausage, and pastrami. The Captain's Galley also presents various sub alternatives, such as soups and chili mac, and any sub can be transformed into a salad or a wrap upon request. The kitchen team even offers 10 varieties of party subs, which are traditionally the least strict of military vessels.
You could try a different Neli's entree every day for five months and still not have tried everything. The menu, which comprises more than 150 distinct items ranges from three-egg omelets and Belgian waffles, to Asian stir-fries and juicy, 12-ounce rib-eye steaks. Also available are hearty pastas, flame-kissed half-pound burgers, and amply stuffed deli-style sandwiches.
At Brooklyn Deli, owners Mark Anderson and Don Bothem slice premium meats and julienne subway passes for authentic New York-style sandwiches. Along with their menu of Brooklyn classics, the duo and their staff whip up custom creations, layering breads with meats, toppings, dressings, and cheeses. Meanwhile, freshly cut potatoes simmer in the fryer, and Otis Spunkmeyer cookies rise in the ovens. Out in the dining area, cheerful red booths and stools line up beneath photographs of New York.
On the second floor of the tri-level Rockton Inn, pictures of palm trees and tropical fish speckle the walls, evoking the elegant ambiance of a far-off island resort or Jimmy Buffet's billiard room. This same laid-back attitude is reflected by the kitchen, where chefs busily plate helpings of fine dining standbys ranging from USDA Black Angus steaks to sea-fresh scallops. Daily and weekly specials keep taste buds guessing, with popular themes including Tuesday's quesadilla night or Saturday's all-you-can-eat prime rib special. Elsewhere in the sprawling establishment, six HD televisions keep guests tuned in to the world at large, and performance spaces play host to special events, including live music.
Flavors such as salted caramel, Bananas Foster, and chocolate-covered strawberry infuse the specialty lattes at Paradise Java & Ice, a café that the Cutler family opened in July 2013. Patrons can also sip fresh smoothies and or savor a signature treat—Hawaiian-style shaved ice. "[It's] kind of like a dreamsicle because the flavor from the ice drips and melts down into the ice cream," Dan Cutler said of the dessert during an interview with Beloit Daily News. Rustic blond-wood furniture lines the café, and a cozy lounge area invites patrons to study, read, or connect to complimentary WiFi.

Kevin LymanWarped Tour, the longest running tour in North America, is in its 19th year – all thanks to producer and founder Kevin Lyman. In 1995, this tour veteran took a handful of his favorite SoCal punk and ska bands and created what is now known as the Warped Tour. Kevin's top priorities are the fans and bringing them a kickass lineup each year, hopefully giving the kids their "Best Day Ever."SierraSierra, AKA DJ Saucy, is Kevin Lyman's daughter, and this year she's graduating from high school, making this her last Warped Tour before she heads off to college. Sierra was born just a few days before Warped originally kicked off in 1997, and will be celebrating her 18th birthday while on tour this year. Sierra wakes up bright and early every morning to create a map of the stages and sponsors at each venue, while occasionally DJ'ing.Kevin & Sierra Lyman...I mean, who doesn't love a family portrait?!KennyYou don't want be on the bad side of a man like Kenny Leath. As main stage manager, Kenny is responsible for the equipment and staging needs of the biggest bands on the tour, along with getting everyone on and off the stage on time. He calls the shots when it comes to production and working with the locals. Kenny has worked on Warped Tour for 13 years and according to him, Warped makes every other tour look easy.LisaNineteen-year Warped veteran Lisa knows all the ins and outs of running the tour. As the Tour Manager and Kevin Lyman's right-hand woman, she oversees everything including security, transportation, equipment, ticketing, buses, credentials and more. If something needs to happen on the road, Lisa makes sure it gets done.DannyIt's Danny's ninth year with Warped Tour. Danny runs the 10-man crew in charge of setting up sponsor tents. They wake up at 6:15AM to begin unloading the semi-trucks full of all the equipment needed to accommodate everyone involved in the tour. During the day, however, they have a lot of time off to sleep...or flirt with the ladies. Since Danny is able to hire his best friends to work with him all summer, the crew is basically the fraternity boys of Warped Tour.TerryTerry is one of Danny's best friends and a member of the Warped Tour Set-Up Crew. Aside from working Set-Up, this year he will also be running his first merch booth for his own clothing line. Terry's motto is "work hard, play hard," so whether he's helping build tents, selling his shirts or taking a nap in the bus on his off time, Terry definitely knows how to be the life of the party.JoshJosh, a traditional southern gentleman, is embarking on his first Warped Tour as the newest member of the Set-Up crew. Unfortunately, newbies always gets tortured by the veteran roadies, so he's got a lot to look forward to.Terry, Danny & JoshBFFs, obvs. TrentonA former intern in the tour's production office, Trent is entering his first year as full-fledged Warped employee. This past spring he was offered the grueling waterboy (man) position, which he happily accepted. He waxes his mustache and rocks suspenders with a newsboy cap. ShellylynAs the head of catering on Warped Tour, Shelleylyn has one of the most intense jobs on the road. Responsible for feeding 900 people three times a day in every city, Shellylyn works 20-hour days during the summer and has a history with the festival – she first started in 1994 as Kevin Lyman's assistant.LindsayLindsay is married to fellow Warped Roadie Mike Holshue. Last year they were newlyweds on tour, and this year they're expecting a baby boy. While trying to survive the Warped Tour while pregnant, Lindsay will be managing the booth for Terry's clothing business. MikeIt's Mike's third year on Warped Tour with the Set-Up Crew. Last year, Mike got married to the love of his life, Lindsay. One of Lindsay's rules was that if Mike was going out on tour this summer, then she was coming with him! Now the two are expecting a little Warped Tour baby…which means this could be their last Warped summer ever.Lindsay & MikeIf this isn't the sweetest 'Warped Roadies' photo of the year, we don't know what is. KacieKacie works for Living the Dream, a foundation that makes dreams come true for young people with life-threatening afflictions. Through Warped Tour, she is able to give music-lovers a chance to experience their dreams with their favorite musicians.BeebsMusician, singer, visual artist, actress, dancer, promoter, innovator, beanie knitter, fashion icon, comic book super hero, magical kazoo virtuoso…and now lead singer of Beebs and Her Money Makers. Kevin met Beebs and was so impressed that he asked her to join the Warped Tour. This will be her first tour ever, and her first time living on a bus with her band.Beebs & Her Moneymakers...and the photo gallery ends with a truly triumphant leap.

Brazil ETF Wreaks Of Value Trap 0 commentsEvery now and then even the savviest of investors fall into the value trap. They buy an ETF or stock that, in their view, has been unjustly punished. To be sure, this market environment has provided investors with no shortage of punished ETFs. That's a good news/bad news equation. The good news being that a lot of fine ETFs are now on sale. The bad news is there are also a lot of tempting choices that are going to struggle to regain their lost luster.
I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying this, but I have a feeling that I may irk a few readers by saying the iShares MSCI Brazil Index Fund (NYSE: EWZ) smacks of value trap right now. Yes, I know I'm saying this AFTER EWZ put in a nice move higher on Tuesday. I'll also fully acknowledge that Russ Koesterich of iShares put an overweight rating on Brazil earlier this week.
Count me among his fans and count me among those that want to like Brazil and EWZ. I just can't do it right now. In his Monday piece, Koesterich notes Brazil is potentially a big winner as the global slowdown eases inflationary pressures. This is only part of the EWZ trap at the moment. Eight interest rate hikes in the past 15 months by Brazil's central bank have delivered this amount of lag versus the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSE: SPY):
Put another way, if you've felt like Beijing has struggled to contain inflation this year, policymakers in Sao Paulo have struggled even more mightily than their Chinese counterparts. Alright, so that's talking about Brazil in broader terms, but let's drill down on why EWZ is still a major risk even below $60.
That sentiment can be expressed in terms of two stocks: Vale (NYSE: VALE) and Petrobras (NYSE: PBR). Combined, various securities issued by those companies account for about 35% of EWZ's weight. In the case of Vale, the world's largest iron ore producer, a true global economic slow down means customers such as China are going to purchase less iron ore. On its own, that would be a hurdle for EWZ to overcome.
Next, investors simply cannot ignore Petrobras and I don't mean that in a good way. I could regale you with words, but I'll let the chart do the talking.
That chart shows Petrobras has been such a stinker in recent months, even BP (NYSE: BP) has sharply outperformed the Brazilian oil giant. Put another way, if you wanted own a major integrated oil stock, the four U.S. and the three European majors, BP included, are all better options than Petrobras.
Will Brazil rise again? Yes, it will, but more value awaits the patient investor. Those with itchy trigger fingers would do well to avoid Brazil-specific ETFs that are heavy on Petrobras and they should consider hedging those positions with short-term trades in the ProShares UltraShort Brazil (NYSE: BZQ).Voted the Most Accurate ETF Newsletter in the Country

I know the last episode incorporates the Empire State Building and there has been talk about comparisons to An Affair To Remember.....in that movie, doesn't the woman get hit by a cab and can't make it to meet her man at the ESB? Could they be doing something like that? I think in the movie they reunited after he realized that she didn't make it because of the accident and not because she didn't want to...

I couldn't help but think of Blair when I saw this! Its as if this girl has taken the Queen B thing and making it totally real. Tell me Miss Waldorf wouldn't have written something like this...
Oh Leighton... (Leighton Meester)
I'll bet 25% of this is true....they went to the restaurant, drank and that was it. The rest of this sounds like a plant by a publicist or someone who has their panties in a wad. ;-) The post reported that Madonna had a dinner with Sean Penn the other night that lasted hours and her publicist said she was actually dining with other people and he was there and came over to say 'hello'. Take it with a grain of salt. Probably not true.

Before you write that code…
I don't think the recent spate of articles on building startups without writing code are a fad. Here's why.
A nice overview: How To Launch A Startup Without Writing Code.
I don't think the recent spate of articles on or around this idea are a fad. I think that focused customer research, prototyping tools, and many off-the-shelf tools make it entirely possible to prove and disprove product ideas quickly and correctly without ever having a working system. Of course, you can't fully predict what will happen without building the actual software. Social software, in particular, is very hard to simulate because much of the value is social value which is only realized when many people are using it. (at some point we'll probably see some sort of group usability testing) Even so, you can know a lot about what you're designing very early on, and in some cases (as the article points out) you can even start charging people money.
This is part of design growing up. Growth hacking, customer research, customer development, etc…all roads lead to knowing and verifying as much as possible before any code is written.
Also read: What you should know before you launch your product.
Hi there. So...I'm trying an experiment. I'm experimenting with product design and growth hacking strategies on a new project called What to Wear. It's a super simple service that sends you a daily email containing clothing recommendations based on the weather. My focus is to make it really useful, and it's free to sign up. Let me know what you think!

I made this adapted version of Jalie 2921 Scarf Top for a Pin Up Girl themed fundraiser night for my roller derby team.
The sleeves were unhemmed as I ran out of time and I deliberately chose to leave the hem undone so I would have a smooth line when tucked into my shorts. This is a very comfortable and cute version of this top and I think I'll make a few more in different colours.
There were a few modifications that I made to the pattern to achieve this look. More info available on my blog: SewSewStudio

Thank you, so do I. I struggled with how to adapt the sailor look for broad shoulders because those HUGE sailor collars don't do a lot for that. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.
