I'll be responsible for linking to Rahkamo and Kokko. They were among the most appealing ice dancers ever. Their style was innovative, narrative, emotionally connected to each other and the audience, always meticulous. Here is their La Strada. Look at their beautiful costumes--imaginative without being glitzy.
I also love Renee Roca and Gorsha Sur. He was trained in the Soviet Union and came the the States and found Renee Roca. They had a brief amateur career and a sizable pro career. They always conveyed warmth and simplicity, with a pure style that I think grew out of Sur's classic Soviet training.
And I remember Olga Markova. Here she is:
I thought I'd already linked to Lisa Marie Allen, but that was on another thread. I've lost my mind while watching Olympic swimming. Here's what's considered one of Allen's best performances, the 1978 Worlds LP:

Definitely Josee Chouinard. I actually think she had the potential for a world or Olympic medal and even placed high enough in the short programs for a medal even with smistakes ie solid jumps but an error on a spin etc. She had the most amazing powerful jumps when on and amazing style and personality - just charming. Karen Preston was meh - nice smile and fairly consistent but not the style or flare of Josee. She was Lisa Sargent - blah but had potential to be in top six. The last lady of the era 90's (not counting Jennifer Robinson who was the most boring and slow skater I have seen to win a national title) was Susan Humphreys. Known for her triple flip she two was femnie and decent but not special. She though will stand out in my mind more than any of these other Canadian skaters. This is is a rather unfortunate story. But I met or saw Susan at church. I went to get a tissue and opened the door to the bathroom and low and behold there was the ice princess sitting on the "throne". I was so embarassed. I slammed the door shut and ran back to my spot on a pew. People use the lock on the door for goodness sake. lol One other skater who I thought had so much joy and potential but was ruined I hear by Skate Canada (this is way before my time) a girl who was 12 when she came on the senior seen - Tracey Wainman - such charm but she never fully developed the jumps.
Laurent Tobel. There was some additional weirdness to his skating, when a fire alarm went off during his program.
From the 70s I must mention Gerti Schanderl. There's no footage of her in You Tube, but her 1974 Worlds FS was quite legendary. Dorothy Hamill talks about the home crowd's reaction to her marks here.
Thank goodness Roca & Sur got to do a few seasons with SOI!
Re: Hartshorn & Sweiding - Their "1492" was unforgettable!
Calla Urbanski and Rocky Marvall, exciting US champs and big risk takers for their time.
1991 Nats LP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n26Mo-Yml5E
1992 Nats LP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5scBsfNl9Z4
1993 Nats LP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWWWPqMkLp0
From the 80s, Robert Wagenhoffer. US pairs and singles medalist with gloriously smooth basic skating skills, buttery edges, wonderful spins, soaring jumps, great positions, another John Nicks gift to skating.
1982 Nats LP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw3thtysFm8
1982 Nats SP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFPU0ScvP9k
1979 Worlds LP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu5k8EU5OcQ
Robert Wagenhoffer, who was Men's Professional champion, is one of my all time favorites!
Mikkeline Kierkgaard!
I don't know what happened with her.
Didn't she try to skate pairs, eventually was injured, and retired?
I still look very, very fondly on the performances Alexander Abt had given through the years he competed. He was definitely a dying breed. Smooth, creative, innovative in his own way, just a joy to watch.
His crowning moment was definitely the 2002 Europeans. Not sure if that's anywhere on youtube but you should definitely try to find it if you can.
And even though he's Olympic Champion, it seems like Ilia Kulik has been overlooked too, but he always was, and forever will be, a treasure out there. Now that is a skater who has it all. Charisma, true musicality, incredible jumps and spins, and always innovative footwork and choreography. No two programs of his are exactly alike, and that's a testimony to the kind of skater he is. I can't even name one single performance like I did with Abt, because so many of his performances are great and different. I say anything you can find of Ilia is worth watching. If you're bored, he'll definitely liven up the party!
Robert Wagenhoffer. That's all I'm going to say.
SP to Armenian music @2002 Worlds in Nagano:
Triple Axel here is much better than one at Salt Lake City. I LOVED his straightline footwork and beautiful perfect positions on camel spin!

What level is the weapon you're using?
I remember trying to tank in Outlands with a mid-50's quest reward staff, and getting absolutely owned. The moment that I got that staff from the final boss in Ramps, I was able to mindlessly mash Swipe and have impeccable AoE threat. This is because a weapon constitutes so much of your attack power, and thus threat. If you are still using a weapon from Outlands, look up quest rewards for agility staffs or polearms at your level on Wowhead or someplace.
I'm far from an expert on Druids (mine is sitting pretty at 67 I think), but I know that expertise is a fantastic stat for bears. You should respec into Primal Precision for that free 10 expertise. That alone would make a lot more of your attacks connect.

The city of Derry-Londonderry has had a big year. In just 12 months it squeezed in a whopping number of festivals, gigs, musicals, plays and special events. We round up the fun that was had
2013 is over, but in every corner of the city, along the Peace Bridge, on the walls and through the historic Ebrington Barracks – Derry-Londonderry is still buzzing after the most epic arty party in its history.
Huge events shook the city in 2013. There was a bounty of firsts, including the Turner Prize and the Royal Ballet. Then there was the sweet sounds of the Fleadh Cheoil, Other Voices and Teenage Kicks: A Punk Musical. In between these big hitters were hundreds of other events, from plays to matches, gigs to exhibitions.
Here, we review some of the highlights from a year that put Derry-Londonderry on the culture map.

Dear All, I have a agreed to take photos at a friend of a friend's wedding in May, if anyone has any general advice please don't be shy! Its new territory for me, they are paying a nominal fee but I (obviously) want them to be happy/over joyed with their photos!
I also have another question slightly more specific relating to ownership of the photos. I have seen on more than one website examples of contracts that state the ownership of the photos remains with the bride and groom (in this case), of course I can't find an such examples now, hence my post!
Further complication: I would like the example contract to be in French!
Many thanks to all, any tip could make the difference to me coming across as a professional!

Excellent support for injured knee
By Lex PigerBos
from East Lansing, MI
About Me Beginner
Best Uses
Comments about Shock Doctor Ultra Knee Support with Bilateral Hinges:
My knee bent sideways during BJJ roll. Tore MCL and meniscus. Started wearing this support after 1 week. With this support I don't feel any instability in the knee. It holds it very well. After long use it starts getting hot but that not a big deal.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

WASHINGTON - If one man's trash is another man's treasure, what about taking that trash and using it to power a car?
"The average family in Alexandria puts out 46 pounds of garbage every week," says Michael Clem, a recycling program analyst with the City of Alexandria. "That's enough for me to power this car (for) 38 miles."
Clem was referring to an electric car, a Nissan Leaf that is powered by electricity made from garbage. The car has the City of Alexandria seal on it as well as a statement that reads, "The car is powered by trash."
"Trash is a valuable resource," says Michael Renga, business manager with Covanta Energy. "It can be converted into energy. It shouldn't be wasted in a landfill."
He says the company's local Energy from Waste facility has a partnership with Alexandria and Arlington. All the trash that residents put along the curb outside and all trash that can't be recycled, his company will take.
"Instead of going to a landfill, we take the waste and convert it into energy," he says. "We have 45 of these facilities throughout the U.S. and we've been doing it in Arlington and Alexandria for 25 years."
Covanta renewed a waste disposal and service agreement with Alexandria and Arlington for 2013 through 2019 with an option to run through 2038.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Well, it could have fallen off in the previous battle before he Raikiri'd Rin. Just sayin....
hm,this is new+rep for original finding

there is no ****ing way a zetsu clone can copy sharagin,
obito saw what happen thur the eye he gave kakashi some how.
rin is more than likely
1. not who she appears
2. a spy/betrayer
dont see how obito could see thur a zetsu clones fake sharagin eye.
kakashi is not the one to being questioning, plus he was crying i didnt know clones could cry and use human emtions
Excellent find. +rep I still believe it was just Kakashi though
Also if you pay attention he looks exactly the same as when they were on the mission obito was killed. Remember when kakashi got slashed in the eye, and his mask got cut a tad bit? Look at his mask on the last page of the new manga, the small cut is there. So zetsu probably cloned him during that mission, and used it afterwards to kill rin and take obito.
Originally Posted by NarutoFan20

i dont think so, thanks to some of you who notice the kakashi tears.. i think that its the real kakashi becoz:-
1) obito also see rin faces as it was from his left eye( the eyes he gaves kakashi) soit would be impossible for a zetsu clone to cast some kind of genjustu (making obito seeing from his left eyes). yes a zetsu clone could replicate not only physically but also chakra and jutsu, u can find this in the old chapter when zetsu clones copy itachi and kisame vs kakshi teams. after defeated then it change back to zetsu.
2) the tears in kakshi eyes.. its likes he was regret plus must do the stabbed...
3) Kakashi was never speaks about his teamates before and espescially about Rin... and kakshi always went to the Ninja cemetery , i think he is not only thinking of obito but Rin (especially).
But i have a questions to ask?
1) is there a possibility that the Rin is a zetsu Clones? but is a 30% predictions because if it was a zetsu clone kakashi would not drop a tears while stabbing her.
2) What makes kakashi stabbed her??
a) Is it Rin has become a traitor? so kakashi missions is to kill her..
b) she was trap in genjutsu.. making them fighting each other.. unable to control their body.. thats why kakashi tears becoz he cannot stop himself from killing Rin.. maybe it is Madara doing.. and plot.. by taking obito to the scene to watch it...
c) mistakes.. kakashi was mistakely stabb rin... but it sound not kakashi to mistaken stabb rin.
3) next chapter predictions...
a) did obito rush to aid Rin or not? my guess not... becoz maybe zetsu stopped him.. maybe to many mist ninja appeared.. to risky to fight... zetsu took obito and retreat.
Very nice.

Thank you. I hate how everyone jumps to the conclusion that he's a clone.
He was crying after all, and since he already hit her, he'd have no reason to cry otherwise for appearances.
Their eyes are connected and as we saw obito looks throw his left eye that kakashi has.
When Obito reviled himself don't you think he would of said I'm here because you killed Rin. He sad I'm here because you let Rin die. ( sorry would post the manga but on phone don't know how)
Maybe the rin we see here is a zetsu clone who killed the real rin. may explain the tears of kakashi.
just a stupid thought :]
really head bands proves nothing but it is a zetsu clone to make obito loyal to madara,this is all drama manuplated by madara
just think why would zetsu help obito to go dere?(unless madara orders zetsu to do it)
but i think that zetsu is not kakashi,coz their sharingan is same(kakashi and obito)
but i think rin is zetsu
the zetsu killed rin,and became zetsu(as we saw in real episodes)
so thats why kakashi killed him
and kakashi tears may explain the situation

No way, Both kakashi & Rin are Real I believe
Hi this is my first time posting here but I think you guys are over-analyzing this. I think what happened is while they were fighting the Mist ninja one of them probably used the Hidden Mist jutsu like Zabuza uses. Then one of them probably lured Kakashi into attacking them only to lift the mist and reveal it was Rin he hit. This would explain that darkness slowly receding in the images as if Rin was suddenly coming into view. Just my thoughts.
(Also Kakashi is crying as he obviously realized he just killed his friend)
Or this is all a Genjutsu casted by Madara before Obito left the cave place when they were looking at each other. Besides, Madara looked pretty commandant when he said that, "You will come back here."...
Nice find man +Rep.
There is no way that the Kakashi in 604 is a Zetsu clone because Obito was able to see through his other missing eye. In order for him to be able to see out of his other eye that is on Kakashi, it has to be the exact original. This means that Zetsu would need the Sharingan from Kakashi himself. Last time I checked, Kakashi never lost his Sharingan eye during any point in the manga. So it is definitely a flaw theory.
Also, there are numerous times where Kakashi doesn't wear a ninja headband as well. If I recall correctly, during his childhood he never really wore it.
It's Kakashi. Making him a crying Zetsu stabbing Rin with a Chidori does not make any sense. but +rep for a good find.
Look at the arm when you see from kakashis pov no forearm protector and it looks strange
already made this thread
Originally Posted by Hipster Madara

that is because they had to implant the eye or it fell off when that fellow cut his eye
great find +2rep...
it must have fallen off
... excuse me....
.... there are certain things i may able to explain.....
..... Please wait........................
not only kakashi but also rin might b a zetzu to lure obito. surely a problem as
kakashi might not have any motive 2 kill her . or is it an illusion as d real rin is aldready dead.
there's a fishy thing kishi in ur works kishi ur 2 fishi.
"because of u u let rin die". might b fake . or rin is a nue villain. hiding and is hidden dead
new hero. munakata reisi of k pls say hello 2 him and watch k live at 0130 h in d morning
remember zetzus can change . it may b one of u all

AudioXperts is a new company, but it is led by an executive team headed up by Eli Harary, who has decades of experience.
One of the first products the company showed last fall at CEDIA Expo 2012 was its 4TV 2112 Audio Entertainment Console. This product is designed to place a TV on top of the unit's cabinet to serve as an all-in-one speaker solution that doesn't need wall-mounting accessories.
With an external appearance that is highlighted by smoked glass, aluminum and a gloss-black finish, the 2112's industrial design intends to complement flat-panel TVs. Internally, the 2.1 speaker system incorporates an amplifier section that delivers 200 watts of RMS power and 350 watts of peak power. The 2112's multidriver array includes dual 20mm tweeters with four of AudioXperts' HART midrange drivers and four 4.5-inch long-throw woofers.
The unit's rear panel features one optical and one digital coax input; a single set of analog inputs, as well as a single USB input and 1/8-inch mini-stereo input. The 2112 also offers DTS and Dolby processing options, and the company's own Enhanced Dialog processing. Other features include Bluetooth streaming that's bolstered by the aptX codec, touch-sensitive user interface and a learning remote control.
The 2112 is a big product. Weighing about 55 pounds, the system measures more than 40 inches wide and 17 inches deep, just over 2 inches tall, and because of its girth, the 2112 can be awkward for a single person to unpack and install. After setting the speaker on my bedroom stand, I placed my 26-inch LCD TV on top of it and ran a coax cable from my cable box into the coax input, and I attempted to run an optical cable from my Blu-ray player to the unit. I finished up by plugging in my Apple USB charging cable for my iPhone and I plugged in the unit and powered it up.
After trying out the cable and Blu-ray player, I noticed my Sony Blu-ray player's image was skipping and erratic. I figured out that for some reason the player didn't like the optical output, so I swapped the optical cable for a set of Transparent RCA cables and reconfigured its audio output for analog audio. I am not certain why this glitch occurred, but using the analog inputs solved the problem. Next, I installed the lazy Susan feature by placing the option underneath the speaker and tightening a couple of screws. This feature allows users to angle their TVs into better viewing position.
With the connections set, I fine-tuned the setup by adjusting the unit's equalization (EQ) curves and bass level by choosing the TV/Movie setting, and I set the bass level at the 2 o'clock position.
I will admit that I am always skeptical of these products because I believe that the only way to get surround sound is to use multiple speakers. But watching movies like "Tinkerbell: Secret of the Wings" with my wife and kids, I felt the 2112 brought an enhanced audio experience to movie watching in my bedroom. This was further confirmed while watching a broadcast of Sunday Night Football. Listening to the game at a lower volume level persuaded me to use the speaker's enhanced dialog option, which better focuses vocals at the expense of surround immersion.
Getting into some music listening, I used the USB input to play back music stored on my iPhone. Feeling compelled to play Rush's "2112" album to honor the name of the AudioXperts product, I heard lots of midrange clarity and detail. I did detect a slight bit of upper bass emphasis and a touch of top-end tinny-ness. I can't say conclusively that the upper bass emphasis was the speaker; what I was hearing could have been due to the speaker system's placement within the room.
My only word of caution is that it is not a replacement for a traditional multichannel system, and it will not fill medium and large rooms with sound. Some users may also complain about the touch-sensitive interface. Once I got used to the interface, I didn't have a problem, but it will take users some time to adjust to the way it reacts in normal usage situations. With all of that said, it is a solution a great many homes could happily use to solve their sound dilemmas.

I know this product got rave reviews, but I didn't really do anything for me. I bought it because I had been consuming kefir to get natural probiotics, and I was tired of buying milk all the time to keep the culture going. (I was buying organic milk and it was getting really expensive). I'm switching back to kefir, it was much better for my digestive system.
Good, but...

This is a decent priobiotic but Dr. Ohira sells another product that contains horse oil and I cannot support the slaughter of horses for a beauty or bath product. No worries, however, because there are many high-quality probiotics on the market and on iherb. Just look for a GMP (good manufacturing process) seal on the bottle and look for enterically coated probiotics (so the probiotics survive your stomach acids unharmed and make it into your small and large intestines where they do the most good). Also it is helpful to look for a high bacteria count probiotic if you need extra digestive support. Culturelle has a great reputation but there many others that are terffic as well. I am currently taking at priobiotic made by Renew Life, which is milk and lactose free--the bacteria cultures are grown on a garbanzo base rather than milk base.
Perhaps an overrated product

Bought these after reading all the raving reviews here on i-herb. I followed the dosage religiously for 2 months. I am sure they didn't harm me during that time, but didn't notice any health improvements either...

So far I have not notice any difference in bloating after I eat. This may not take care of the symptoms. The product on the delivery was expedient and I truly have no complaints.

If that description suggests a latter-day Shostakovich, the music itself is far more strongly marked by the example of Prokofiev – in its vivid colours, forceful energy, self-belief and absence of doubt. His First Piano Concerto, a graduation piece from 1954, was a cheerfully extrovert romp that could have been designed as a tribute to Prokofiev who had died the previous year. Twelve years on, the Second Concerto retains that influence, alongside a fascination with twelve-note techniques that had been a presence in Soviet music for the past decade but that was still regarded in some quarters as forbidden fruit. Seemingly relishing the confrontational aspect involved in adopting this idiom, Shchedrin was nonetheless determined to write public, communicative music rather than 'to sit around at home writing dodecaphonic music in the privacy of one's own living-room'. And he was equally determined to force its official acceptance. He himself gave the première of the Second Concerto, with Rozhdestvensky conducting the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra, and he took it on a European tour with the Leningrad Philharmonic and Mravinsky later in 1966.
The opening is a grimly determined monologue for the piano, on a twelve-note theme whose initial F major scale segment will later detach itself and spawn new variants. Harsh orchestral interjections immediately clarify the nature of the sub-title, 'Dialogues'. Tension soon increases towards a perpetuum mobile that never fully materialises. Instead soloist and orchestra react to one another in ways that drive the music forwards and at the same time challenge it to find new resources of energy, eventually producing a grinding orchestral climax before the piano settles the lengthy movement in a tone of troubled contemplation.
The second movement begins full of manic drive, as if to reinstate the perpetual motion the first never quite achieved. It is headed 'Improvisations', but that element is confined to some passing moments of Polish-style 'aleatory', where the piano is allowed to place given note-patterns freely in relation to the orchestra and elsewhere to choose any note while sticking to prescribed rhythms. This driving scherzo-substitute movement soon takes its leave with a snarl.
The 'Contrasts' of the finale are immediately suggested by an arrestingly simple idea, as the soloist potters around on perfect fourths and fifths, sounding rather like a piano-tuner at work before the concert, while bells and flutes are suspended high above, as if defying the piano to sound in tune. A weighty monologue for the violins develops into a passionate orchestral interlude. Then the stylistic contrasts really kick in. As though with a flick of the radio switch we find ourselves being entertained by a restaurant jazz combo; another flick and we are in a nightmare film chase sequence; then back again. Fragments of the 'Dialogues' and 'Improvisations' hurtle by in the mêlée, the impression being at once unfocused yet exhilarating, because we sense that the composer can call the music to heel at any point and take it where he wants it to go.

If you're looking to create a media experience that rivals the one you get at your local Cineplex, a projection screen is the way to go.
Paired with a video projector, they can display images in a format larger than any TV screen can. Plus, with extra features like masking, motorization and perforation, the screen will be able to adapt to any design or viewing preferences you might have.
Here's a look at key features to consider when you're shopping for projection screens.
Motorization, Masking
Fixed screens work well in dedicated theater rooms where it's fine to keep a big portion of your wall covered at all times.
For multipurpose rooms, consider a retractable screen that disappears when it's not in use, perhaps revealing a flat screen TV. Screens can retract from the ceiling, floor, wall or furniture.
In addition to raising and lowering a screen, motors often are used to adjust the width of the screen depending on the aspect ratio of the image. Masking the screen from side to side allows viewers to enjoy the full height and the full resolution of the video, without seeing those annoying black bars.
Three important considerations when selecting a motor for your screen are maintenance/longevity, loudness of the mechanism and ease of integration.
Motorized screens (up/down) and masking (left/right) can be controlled in a number of ways: infrared remote control; low-voltage wall switch; low-voltage trigger from a projector, receiver or other electronic device; or direct control via a home automation system.
Motorized screens are fairly easy to automate because they are usually in one of two states: completely up or completely down.
Side-to-side masking solutions can be more complicated to automate. A specialist can program your system to automatically mask your screen according to the content being played. The mask will stretch out for ultra-widescreen movies, glide inwards for boxier shows, and possibly close all the way when the theater empties.
Screen Material
For the best performance, select a screen material and color optimized for your specific projector and room conditions.
A matte white screen is typically the best choice for dark environments. In rooms where ambient light is a factor, a gray screen can be used to preserve contrast.
For the most realistic surround-sound experience, place the center speaker(s) behind the screen. This configuration requires an acoustically transparent screen that allows sound to penetrate the fabric via tiny perforations. Ideally, the speaker(s) should be placed about 12 inches behind the screen.
The "brightness" of a particular projector must be evaluated in the context of the screen size: The larger the projected image, the dimmer it will look given the brightness of a given projector, so plan accordingly.
An important characteristic of a screen is its gain, which measures how light reflects off the surface. In simple terms, a higher gain equates to a brighter image; however, a high-gain screen (above 1.3 or so) may limit the viewing angle and create sometimes an inconsistent quality across the entire screen.
Brighter rooms may require a dramatic increase in brightness or contrast for an image to be enjoyable. It may be better to increase the "horsepower" (ANSI lumen output) of the projector rather than the black level and gain of the screen.
Screen Size
Consider these two things when specifying the size of the screen: the resolution of the image and its distance from the viewing area. The higher the resolution, the closer you can sit; the closer you sit, the smaller the screen should be.

And it's not even just hating people...it's that 10 man is more enjoyable...your contribution means more, the level of personal responsibility is higher and honestly you know your raiders better. When I did 25 mans (in Wrath, granted) I knew about 13 of the people in my raid...and some of them was just because "holy crap <some resto druid> is TRASH why is he in the raid?!"
Now, granted, we were not able to be as progressed w/our 25 man raid because we dealt with, frex, shitty resto druids whereas in 10 man we didn't.
Anyway...fuck 20 mans.

Got a question about the 2014 COMBAT Lisa Fernandez Hybrid Fastpitch Softball Bat: LFFP6112? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
Does this bat come 32" or 33"?
Yes, the 2014 COMBAT Lisa Fernandez Hybrid Fastpitch Softball Bat: (LFFP6112) does come in additional sizes. However, we are currently sold out of the 32" and 33", and will not be receiving any more sizes back into our inventory.
Is this a balanced bat? Would it compare to a Catalyst fastpitch bat? My daughter swings the Catalyst but it doesn't have the new stamp. She is a power hitter and she is small.
The 2014 COMBAT Lisa Fernandez Hybrid (LFFP6112) is a very balanced bat. However, it is a two-piece bat with a composite handle and alloy barrel. The Catalyst is a one-piece composite bat. The 2014 COMBAT Portent (PORFP212) is a one-piece composite bat and is similar to the Louisville Slugger Catalyst.
My daughter is 16 years old. She is 5 foot 6 inches tall and weighs about 135 pounds. She's strong, but needs to increase her bat speed. What bat would you recommend?
The 2014 COMBAT Lisa Fernandez Hybrid (LFFP6112) would be a great option for your player. The lightweight -12 length to weight ratio will help her achieve higher bat head speed and the two-piece design will flex a bit through the swing which will whip the bat head forward at the point of contact.
Product Description
Lisa Fernandez is without a doubt a legend in fastpitch softball. To help all players reach their legendary potential, COMBAT teamed up with with Lisa Fernandez to create a bat that not only performs at an elite level, but outperform anything on the fastpitch market.

In addition to the Emmanuelle Alt-alikes and to-be-expected chicettes of the PFW circuit – that's skinny jeans, stiletto, tucked-in shirt – there were wacktacular ensembles agogo. The fash forward and the style brave weren't tiptoeing around new season trends like super-size volume or surreal accessories. And, if we're totally honest with you, even Madame Alt mixed up her signature style, to firstly drop from her usual stilettos to a petite heel AND wear all blue denim on the last day – no black! So with the most high profile dressers of the fashion industry entering a new and exciting cycle we've collated our top new Style Hunter-spotted trends from Paris Fashion Week. After all, where the fash eds lead, many will follow…

Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Emergency response
Life can change for millions of families in an instant: natural disasters take loved ones and the outbreak of war drives families from their homes. When the unthinkable happens, Mercy Corps delivers rapid, lifesaving aid to hard-hit communities.
We have responded to almost every global natural disaster in the last 20 years, including the Japan tsunami, Haiti earthquake, hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa, Indian Ocean tsunami, and most recently, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
Our seasoned emergency responders worked through the recent conflict in Gaza and are on the ground in Iraq, South Sudan and the Central African Republic distributing critical supplies and protecting families uprooted by ongoing violence.
We're also working to support 2.5 million people affected by the crisis in Syria, a long-term refugee crisis and humanitarian disaster with no end in sight. Learn more about our ongoing response to the Syrian crisis ▸

The Classic Watch
of Reference
Style of the Datejust
The Datejust is the modern archetype of the classic watch, thanks to aesthetics and functions that transcend changes in fashion. Aesthetically, the Datejust has spanned eras, while retaining the enduring codes that make it, notably in its traditional versions, one of the most recognised and recognisable of watches.
What a Difference
a Date Makes
Function of the Datejust
The Datejust was the first self-winding waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o'clock on the dial – hence its name. In the earliest models, the date would begin to change hours before its midnight rendezvous. In 1955, the date-change mechanism was adapted to operate instantaneously and the date aperture was enhanced with a Cyclops lens, magnifying the date by two and half times for easy reading.
History of
the Datejust
Spirit of the Datejust
The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first wristwatch to display the date through an aperture on the dial. Its unique magnifying Cyclops eye, added several years later, became recognised as a Rolex standard. Admired for its classic design, the Datejust has become an iconic symbol of style.
The Mystery Man
Spirit of the Datejust
In 1947, commemorating the brand's 100,000th officially certified chronometer, Hans Wilsdorf presented that selfsame Datejust to an illustrious gentleman he described as one of the greatest figures of our time. To this day, his identity has never been revealed.
Twinlock Winding Crown
The screw-down winding crown and the case with screw-down back form the core of the Oyster. Created by Rolex in 1953, the Twinlock system ensures that the screw-down crown is water-resistant thanks to two sealed zones, one inside the tube of the crown, the other inside the winding crown itself. This system is used on all the watches in the Oyster collection that are guaranteed waterproof to 100 metres (330 feet).
The Cyclops Lens
The Cyclops lens enhances the date aperture, magnifying the date display by two and half times for easy reading. It is one of the most distinctive Rolex features, and one of the most recognisable.
Jubilee bracelet
The Jubilee, a supple and comfortable five-piece link metal bracelet, was designed and made especially for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust in 1945. The Jubilee is fitted with a concealed Crownclasp.
Oyster Bracelet
The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function, aesthetics and technology. First introduced in the late 1930s, this particularly robust and comfortable metal bracelet with its broad, flat three-piece links remains the most universal bracelet in the Oyster collection.
The Oyster Case
The Oyster case is one of the foundations of the reputation for excellence of Rolex watches. Invented by Rolex in 1926, it was the world's first waterproof case for a wristwatch thanks to its patented system of screwing down the bezel, case back and winding crown against
the middle case.
Like the mollusc, the Rolex Oyster is robust and clamped shut. It provides a hermetic environment that protects the high-precision Perpetual movement from water, dust, or pressure.

Our latest news
Down Among the Dead Men
September 19th is one of the internet's silliest inventions: International Talk Like a Pirate day. We're celebrating with a launch, somewhat overdue: our adaptation of Dave Morris' splendid pirate adventure, Down Among the Dead Men.
Dead Men is an interactive novel you can play as male, female; governess, changeling, thief, buccaneer, warlock... Be bold or cowardly, a good Cap'n or a scurvy sea-dog. Sit back, and lose yourself in a quest of justice - or revenge.
There are three difficulty modes - from benevolent (where no matter how bad things get you can be sure you'll win out), through fair, to cruel. (If you're interested, cruel is an exact replica of the book. Only without any way to cheat.)
There are hidden secrets, and mysteries galore, from buried treasure, to vampires, long-lost galleons, shoot-outs. There's a monkey, and a parrot.
(True pirate-gaming enthusiasts might also recognise the title, Down Among the Dead Men, from one of the songs performed by tireless robot musicians who haunt the taverns in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag.)
A delayed launch
If you've been following us for a while, you'll know we first announced this project in 2012, after the release of Frankenstein. The ship was built and rigged, but ran afoul of its moorings. It's finally been salvaged, dredged, and made sea-worthy once more for your enjoyment, at the cut-down price of one dollar.
If you've played 80 DAYS or Sorcery! then you might be a bit surprised to find Dead Men is a simpler affair, laid out more like a book (well, a message in a bottle, anyway) than a board-game. That's certainly the case: although under the hood, it's running the same adaptive-text inklewriter engine that powers our other games, with 125k words and two thousand options.
It looks, well, a little like this:
Adventure awaits!
So set sail, enjoy, don't forget your cutlass - and you can find more of Dave's work on the Fabled Lands blog. Avast!
Editor's Choice!
We still can't quite believe it. We're not pinching ourselves, we're bashing our heads with hardback Folio-society copies of Verne's classics. 80 DAYS, text-based interactive fiction, is currently Editor's Choice on the App Store in the UK and US and others, and several thousand people have already completed multiple journeys around the world.
"This is a brilliant adventure based on the adventures of Phileas Fogg, with a whole world to explore, and a script that will hold your attention throughout. Interactive storytelling at its best." - The Guardian
"Thick with mysteries and opportunities for disaster, Inkle's new title is far more palatable than its source material... 80 Days is a voyage that must be taken." - The Verge
"Verne fans in particular are going to have a fantastic time with this game, but I think almost anyone is going to find plenty to like in 80 Days." - Touch Arcade
Going around and around
When we set out to make 80 DAYS we had a few goals - we wanted to tell a great story, with a strong sense of the world it was in. We wanted interactive fiction narrated from an "I" not a "You". And we wanted to make a game that could be played multiple times.
We didn't totally believe that was even possible with a narrative game - surely you play to see the story, and then it's done?
Well: we've seen people playing four or five games in a single day, trying to improve their score, or simply exploring the world and its hidden corners.
More there's still more to find...
But there are still secrets to be unearthed. What's in the airship into Reykjavik? Will love be waiting for you in London? What's the secret of the Irktusk harbour-master? Who did kill the Yokohama hover-craft Artificer?
Thanks to the live feed, we're pretty sure that right now, no-one out there knows. Yet.
We're celebrating in the inkle office, because 80 DAYS has finally been unleashed. Right now, people are boarding trains, steamers, boats; catching malaria, inciting mutinies, sleeping rough and being captured in the jungles of North India and more...
When watching the trailer remember, every line drawn on the globe is a journey, and every journey has a story, and every story has choices, and every choice is remembered...
Reviews are beginning to trickle in too - here's a few snippets:
"A sublime video game to immerse yourself in... With impressive visuals, a simple yet elegant game design, and a story to tell based on classic literature, 80 Days is an excellent addition to your mobile game library" - The Examiner
"Probably the best example of interactive fiction ever produced" - Pocket Tactics
Jump aboard today, and see where your journey takes you!
An Unaccountable Delay, Passepartout!
It couldn't be more ironic: we were beautifully on track to release 80 Days to the world on the 24th - this Thursday. But at the last minute, unforeseen circumstances - exactly the kind which Monsieur Phileas Fogg does not believe in - have scuppered our plans. We will now be launching on July 31st.
The best-laid plans
We had everything in place: review copies have gone out, and we've been watching journalists race each other around the world via the live-feed (here's a time-lapse of that):
But it turns out this week is one filled with big App Store releases: so big, in fact, we've been asked to move 80 Days to next week. That means an extra seven days of waiting for players, and an unbearable extra seven days of nervousness for us, until we find out what you make of the game.
In the meantime...
If you can't wait that long, here's a video preview, courtesy of App Spy's James Gilmour: if you watch on an iPad, you can pretend to press the buttons and imagine the game is out already.
(Coincidentally, you can see James' playthrough on the animation above: he's the one, sitting in Paris until Day 7, just scooping up money from the bank while everyone else races on ahead.)
Journey's End...
There's a point towards the end of a project when it feels like it will never end: when the bug list is three pages long, but every time you fix one, you find two more. There are times when it seems like every line of logic, every piece of art, every element of timing, is capable of going awry if you play the game in just the right wrong way.
And then suddenly, without any fanfare, everything drops into place. When you step back and realise, it's finished. There's always scope for a final snip here and there, of course, but the running is over. Panicking over having too little time transforms into the fear of having too much - there must be something to do, but what is it?
The final pieces!
80 Days has hit that point. It works. All the features we talked about when laying out the concepts last year are in - even those like the real-time clock or the peer-to-peer sharing of routes in progress that we took out halfway through development because we didn't think they'd be possible. The last cog has gone in, and suddenly, the mechanism turns.
It's a moment when testing becomes playing. When instead of teleporting to the bit you need to test, you let the sun slowly rise over the Sacré-Cœur in Paris, listening to the bells chiming in the distance, considering your options.
Pulling back, you browse the globe watching other players - beta-testers, and your own past selves - as they race from train to steamer, bribe their way into a Bozek car, or sink in their damaged submersible to the bottom of the Indian Ocean...
The world, turns out, is big
80 Days was intended to be a side-project; something we did while also working on Sorcery! 3. That didn't happen - this game grew and grew until it encompassed first every working hour, and then every waking one.
Simple ideas - go anywhere, discover routes from the people you meet, buy and sell as you travel to keep yourself funded - turned out to have a hundred interconnections and special cases.
What if you run out of funds in the jungle and can't afford to hire an elephant onwards? What if you fall desperately ill in a town with no hotels and no doctors? What if you jump off the Trans-Siberian Express, head down into Afghanistan by train, catch the hydrofoil to Astrakhan, the train back to Moscow and re-board the Trans-Siberian to the west of where you get on, what then..?
Sorcery! 2 was our biggest game, four or five times larger than the first Sorcery! part, and hundreds of times more complex in its branching and interlocking paths. 80 Days is a quantum leap in complexity again. It is almost certainly the most intricate branching narrative ever made: even more so, because those branches don't only arise from what choices you make, but also from when you choose to make them.
And then there was the balancing. There are a hundred and fifty cities connected by well over four hundred journeys in and out; each with its own costs, risks and timings. There are over two hundred items you can buy and sell in different markets around the world. But the target - eighty days - is set in stone.
Too hard, and the game would be gruelling. Too easy, and the game won't present the challenge that'll make you replay. How do you even begin to balance a game with over half a million words of content, in which no two beta-testers have yet ever taken the same path?
Luckily, Verne helped us out with that one. When our lead writer, Meg Jayanth, started building the world she plotted out the route that Phileas Fogg and valet Passepartout take in the original novel. The adventures along the way are different, spinning out from the original material in unusual and interesting ways - but the timing we kept roughly the same. That was a journey that we knew would take 80 days. Then we just had to make sure all the others balanced against that central spine.
We've played the game pretty hard now. My personal best is 65 days, we've seen a 49 out there in the wild, as well as a few 90 and 100 day play-throughs. What's the quickest time possible, though? We have no idea. Maybe you'll find out for us.
Launching this month!
So when does the game set sail? Right now, we're holding our breath for Apple to review the game. Once that's done, we'll be able to announce our launch date, later this month. If you join our mailing list we'll email you the day its out (and not before, and not after unless we do a major update.)
We've been working hard to get 80 Days ready for release, doing the final polish to the art, fixing all the little bugs in the interface, entirely rewriting a few major game systems that we're realised could be a bit better and adding even more cool extra routes, side-alleys, characters and secrets into the text...
...but along the way, we found the time - and the courage! - to send a preview off to some of our favourite reviewers and websites. We've been biting our nails to see what they think but first posts have now gone live.
Multiplayer Interactive Fiction
In our last blog-post we posted a video, demonstrating 80 Days. If you watched it, you'll know that we've dropped in one little feature which we think will make the game into something truly special.
The game is a race around the world, and to ensure it feels like a race we've added a multiplayer twist.
80 Days in action!
We've written a bit about 80 Days on this blog, but sometimes it's hard to really explain what something is, and it's easier just to show it. So here it is in action!
Verne and Victorian Futurism
This guest post is by Meg Jayanth, author of the script for 80 Days.
Verne was one of the pioneers of science-fiction: his novels mixed wild invention with careful, plausible explanations. His stories imagined the future - but to the modern reader, his visions can be marred by the prejudices and assumptions of the past.
We wanted to take Verne's sense of exhilaration and optimism about the future, and expand upon his perspective. We wanted to build a world that isn't comfortably settled into Victorian values, but is as slippery, changing, and as challenging to a contemporary reader as Verne's works were to his own.
Steampunk is often written as a modern fantasy of an imagined past. We wanted to create something a bit different: a historical fantasy of an imagined future. We call our style Victorian Futurism.
Beyond Victoriana
80 Days is steampunk whose heart doesn't pump (only) Thames-water: a world shaped by indigenous retrofuturisms in Africa and Asia and the Americas, which resist and disrupt the conventional narrative of history.
We wanted to write steampunk where the automaton armies of the Zulu Federation turn away the depredations of European colonists scrambling for Africa - where the technology that built the British Raj is being used to dismantle its foundations - where the Panama Canal is dug using Haitian ingenuity, tipping the balance of power away from the United States - and where the stories usually told in the margins spill over into the text, and half of them belong to unexceptional women.
We think all this will make our game better, richer, funnier, wilder. We tried to write steampunk which addresses race and class and empire, that goes beyond bustled-and-corseted nostalgia. To build a hungry, radical, fantastical world. Writing historically shouldn't be an excuse to fetishise outmoded ideas, but to invent better ones.
The year is 1872.
Welcome to the future.
Welcome to our World!
Only eighty days, now that the section between Rothal and Allahabad, on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, has been opened...
At the start of Around the World in Eighty Days, a newspaper report about the completion of a new railway line is the trigger that sends Phileas Fogg on his race to circumnavigate the globe.
And at the time that Verne was writing, there was only one way the trip could be made in such a short time: through the newly-opened Suez Canal, across the heart of India, and then across America by railway.
But for our version of 80 Days, we wanted the player to be able to go anywhere, visit any city on the globe, and build their own route. Which meant we couldn't set the game in 1872. Or at least, not the 1872 that Verne knew.
So instead, we've created an 1872 Verne might have dreamed of...
Trains, Balloons... Airships, Hydrofoils... Gyrocopters, Steam-cars...
Perhaps you will begin your journey on the newly-built Orient Express, travelling in style from Paris to Istanbul. From there, you could change to a Roziere hot-air balloon for the three-day journey to Beirut, where steam-ships travel to Alexandria, airships ply routes into Mesopotamia, and an ingenious steam-car powered by the heat of the sun runs the old road to Baghdad through the ruins of an ancient Sumerian city...
Or perhaps you'd rather travel north, taking the hydrofoil from Amsterdam to the city of Kristiania - now Oslo - before heading into Russia, where the Trans-Siberian Express crosses the Steppes at super-high speed, powered by magnetic induction?
Or why not travel down through Africa, swapping Ottoman Gheyik airships for the mighty copper-and-tin balloons which can cross the Indian Ocean in a few days...?
There are hundreds of ways to travel, and hundreds of thousands of ways around our world.
Will you make it back to London in time? Care to bet?

During Monday Night Raw, Jerry Lawler made a comment about how Ryback isn't smart enough to know the two directions that an elevator can go. That prompted a respon from Ryback on Twitter, where the WWE star mentioned about Miss Kitty, Lawler's former wife.
Ever since Jerry Lawler had that heart attack on Monday Night Raw, all eyes have been on the veteran commentator whenever he has a health issue. After the scare backstage during Old School Raw, it has now been revealed that the WWE star simply had the stomach flu.
While he repeatedly attempted to hide his condition from the company, Jerry Lawler was sent to the hospital from Monday Night Raw to be checked on. His son, Brian Christopher, was the one that alerted management, who then forced the commentator to leave.
For some reason, Jerry Lawler was not present on Tuesday when WWE taped the episode of Monday Night Raw that is set to air on December 23rd. Michael Cole and JBL worked the commentating booth as a duo instead.
During Monday Night Raw, a peculiar scene took place where JBL, Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole were taking pictures of themselves. That segment was done because Vince McMahon wanted to take a jab at Barack Obama for doing that at the funeral of Nelson Mandela.

We knew there was something glacial about the Chanel show as soon as we arrived at the massive venue. The enormous box in the middle of the room radiated frigid air. The programmes on the seats featured a fluffy polar bear.
The adrenalin of anticipation was the only thing keeping us warm.
We have come to expect more than just a catwalk show from Chanel every season. The audience comes for fashion writ large. The running theme on most Paris catwalks has been all about understatement: trimming the excess to fit a new mood of restraint. Not here. As our taxi driver succinctly explained after the show, 'chez Chanel there is no crisis.'
But how would they top last season's live performance by Lily Allen popping up out of the floor in a copy of Marie Antoinette's barn. Easy. How about shipping in an iceberg? Oh how I would have loved to have been at the brainstorm session when someone floated that idea. Talk about blue sky thinking. Chances are I'd have been the one rocking with skeptical guffaws. (Yeah, right, an iceberg? What a bonkers idea: ha ha ha…..next?). I would also have been the one trying to make myself very small when Karl went 'GENIUS! Get me a glacier….STAT!!!'
Turns out the enormous box was hermetically sealed maintaining a temperature of between -4 and 0 C°, to preserve the 240 tonnes of frozen snow (called "snice"….snow-ice) that had been shipped in from the people who make the Arctic Ice Hotels. Chanel hired 35 ice sculptors, who took 6 days to create the 8 meter iceberg.
The models emerged, sloshing through the melt water in galoshes and yeti boots. Hot water bottle handbags were hilarious but dear readers it was painful to see those delicious hems soaking up the slush. It took French insouciance to a whole new level.
In general, the impact was all in fur and fuzzy textures, but not a single animal pelt was lost in the making of these clothes. Every piece, from the fluffy yeti coats to the luxurious sculpted trims on tweed suits was a furry illusion: fake fur, baby soft mohair, downy feathers, Mongolian lambswool, tufted tweed, shredded chiffon.
Lagerfeld played with sculptural possibilities, teasing tweed into a cocoon cape that was accessorized with an ice cub clutch. He worked knits into fluffy cubist shapes, defining the waist with chunky rib. White mohair dresses were tinged a glacial blue.
He gave classic Chanel boucle shifts a decorative finish with gold fringe and dripping tassles of boucle yarn which looked like icicles. And he finished with a finale of cream and white ice queen dresses, sparkling with crystal embroidery and trailing feathered chiffon trains through the ankle deep water.
It was a classic fashion moment that in times like these, only Chanel could pull off.

TravelSmith CoolMax Pocketed Short-Sleeved Polo 21 21
nice shirt I like the material. It runs a little larger than I thought. September 12, 2014
Thought I liked this ... These shirts are comfortable, cool and nicely made ... but the problem with these shirts is the material. I dropped something on my shirt while eating, jumped up and rinsed it off and dropped it in the washer immediately ... and it stained very noticeably and badly. I will not be buying these any longer. I had no idea they were so stain prone, the pick up stains like a magnet. June 12, 2014
Love these Polos I have owned several of these and they are great. Only negative is that stains are difficult to remove. They wash up great in the sink when on the road, they dry quickly and don't need any ironing. August 28, 2014
Must Have My husband cannot take the heat. CoolMax shirts allow him to look well dressed and still be comfortable. Love the way they wash up and dry quickly. Even though we use the shirts at home, they are also a must have when traveling. They can be washed in the sink one day and worn the next .They keep their shape and don't wrinkle. August 22, 2014
Looking good I got this shirt for my husband, who likes his clothes a little big (he's a medium, but happily wears the size large) and very comfortable. He really likes the coolness of the fabric, which past experience tells us will dry quickly, so it's great for travel. It hasn't been washed yet, so I can't really comment on overall quality or how well it will hold up. But so far, it's a winner. June 18, 2014
Quality shirts that last. Recently lost weight, and had to replace my Travelsmith Polos, Ordered six, now Large fits perfectly! Old ones still looked like new, so sent them to our son who was thrilled to receive them. June 25, 2014
Great for vacations I purchased the polos for my husband to wear on vacation and he said they were comfortable and he really appreciated that they had a pocket. June 23, 2014
Exactly what I wanted and needed Every guy needs a black polo shirt: in warm weather it's probably the most versatile item in his wardrobe. My old one had worn out so I tried ordering this one online, as TravelSmith has always been a reliable source of good stuff for people like me who travel a lot. And because I'm tall, it's hard to find sport shirts that fit well. The new shirt met all my expectations. The only reason I gave it less than five stars is that it did fade a bit after the first wash. May 1, 2014
