The Wish List: Summer In The City
Jul 20, 2012 5:01 pm
Style tips for a summer in any city
Spending a summer in a big city may be a sweaty affair, or a breezy walk in the park, depending on the weather, but also how prepared you are. Whether you're spending a weekend in Paris or jetting off to New York, you can't go wrong with these city must-haves. Remember to stick to light, breezy material like cotton and stay hydrated (strapping beer to your bicycle will do the trick). Maybe a picnic? Pick up this compostable kit packed with all the essentials.

2013 Hand Picked Cabernet Malbec Rosé, Skillogalee(6x75cl)
The wine shows fresh raspberry and cranberry on the nose. The palate is fresh and lively, held together by a fine structure of natural acid and fine tannin balance.
NV The Nostalgia Rare, d'Arenberg(6x37.5cl)
In the glass it's a burnished bronze with an alluring rim of olive – illustrating the great age of some of the parcels that have gone into this wine.
The nose is at first a cascade of walnuts toasted almonds and rancio (drying, mature complex oak character).
It then opens up to dried fruits, pears and apples with a sprinkling of cinnamon spice, further inspection gives up toffee, dried figs and burnt butter.
The palate is very lively, tingling with spice and lift – a fantastic balance of freshness and age, the sweetness kept in check by the rancio.
It's complex, layered and focused with a silky mouthfeel and great lingering length.
2005 Vintage Fortified Shiraz, d'Arenberg(6x75cl)
The wine opens to lush aromas of fruitcake, spice and plum pudding, topped off with melted butter and brandy snaps on the side. Its a rich and heady mix, embracing and warming, just waiting for the chill of night and an open fire. The fine, low-strength brandy spirit plays a wonderful supporting role - selected for its 'tails' character, all juniper berries, spice and fruit and 'hearts' - roses and apricots and brings warmth and richness to the wine.The palate is dense and layered, the tannins chewy and mouthfilling interwoven with rich, ripe dark fruits - figs, plums, star anise, licorice, cloves and candied citrus peel. There's line and length from the acid and tannin backbone, leaving the finish long, clean and fresh. This wine will build further complexing characters as it ages and will reward extended cellaring.
2010 Faultline Chardonnay, Kooyong(6x75cl)
Bright lemon colour. Aromas of white peach and crunchy nectarine, potter's clay and a hint of leesy funk. The palate is strident and powerful with some apricot fleshiness, the anchoring Faultline clay minerality and the textbook peach skin phenolic drive. Long and impressive.
2010 Joseph Hill Gewurztraminer, Henschke(6x75cl)
Pale gold in colour. Lifted perfumed aromas of lychee, Turkish delight and rose petal with tropical hints. The palate shows perfumed fruits and is sweet and spicy, richly flavoured, a nice
texture with crisp acidity and good length.
2009 Haven Pinot Noir, Kooyong(6x75cl)
Spicy, smokey, gamey aromas, leavened in the mouth with hints of anise and heather over succulent black cherry fruit. Well-structured, with richness and a warm, enveloping texture.
2010 Anaperenna Shiraz Cabernet, Glaetzer(6x75cl)
Enticing liquorice and fragrant herb notes on the nose, revealing hints of dark stone fruits and cassis with layers of roasted coffee beans. The key characteristic on the palate is the textural tannins that provide support for the supple yet restrained palate - finishing with freshness, purity and length.
NV Liqueur Muscat, Skillogalee(6x75cl)
This shows nutty, raisin and apricot flavours, and is full and sweet enough to match well with the sweetest desserts (even chocolate!).
2012 Johann's Garden GMS, Henschke(6x75cl)
Bright crimson in colour. Sweet ripe lifted spicy aromas of cherry plum, raspberry, rhubarb and anise. Hints of spicy nutmeg, clove and mace with smoky cedar nuances. The palate is rich and full with supple layered fleshy texture and ripe sweet plum/prune flavours; concentrated and complex with layers of velvety tannins, good balance, weight and length.
2012 Spice Trader, Heartland(6x75cl)
A burst of intense primary fruit greets the palate with blueberries, blackberries and currants. These powerful fruit notes give way to waves of spices.

London, United K...
This melton wool cape coat was made last winter, when I was in the throes of an avant garde kick. I love the dramatic stand up collar and the flared hem (made more flared with the addition of horsehair braid). It makes me look like a diva, and it's certainly not practical (why did I think winter white, short sleeves and limited arm mobility would be a good idea?!?!) but who wants to sew boring, wearable clothes when you can sew crazy 'designed' items you can't buy anywhere on the high street?
The coat was made using Vogue 8776.
Melton wool, horsehair braid, snaps.
Aug 8, 2013, 03.43 PMby MojoHollz
I am absolutely in love with this, I can hardly stand it! The collar is really nice the way it stand up, and I really have a soft spot for white wool coats. This just drips with class, elegance and style. Love, love, love it!

Neither tearing down religion, nor evangelizing for it, the film splits the difference — the rarest of feats these days.
Also: The goopy spiritualism of Resurrection trounces the hard science of Cosmos.
It feels like a pushback against faith's encroachments on the intellectual terrain of science.

Open WoundBroken dreams in lovers room,
Pain's flowing in the air,
She's so perfect, my doom,
Pain's growing, I don't dare.
When I Was YoungOnce upon a time,
When I was young,
I believed our world is nice.
When I was young...
I thought I was the faulty one,
A parasite, a virus,
so sick and so hideous
I was asking so much,
always more than my lunch
"All these goodies, not enough?
What is more you need to laugh?"
When I was young,
I believed our world is nice
I felt, I was the broken one...
So I was shy, very shy
When I should and when I shouldn't...
I was so silly, stupid!
I thought I'm asking so much!
More than I need for lunch!
And if it happened to need more,
I would never ask it for.
But now I've grown so much,
little shame for my lunch,
Some they say, no shame at all,
that I'm out of control.
But now I've grown so much...
I always ask it for!
There's no shame, No more!
He was no easy boy
She was no human flesh
He used to dream so hard
It was no easy life
But then he turned around
And saw her perfect face
He didn't wonder how
He didn't think behind
But then he traced the past
It made him think for nights
He wouldn't speak too much
But that was not so weird
He always was alone
Nobody ever asked
He tried to kill his dream
In Love with Cyborgia!
He grew enough to kill
Believe it couldn't be
But they would met again
His dream had never died
He reached to say a word
She turned her back again
She was no human flesh
But had a girly soul
She needed to be loved
But never wanted him
She couldn't find one
And he was watching still
She started walk around
A secret no one found
As he would never speak
In Love with Cyborgia!
But then a night came through
Far from a distant truth
She had to find a place
And make a great escape
And now he was alone
With not a little eye
Awaiting in the dark
He's fading into sad
In Love with Cyborgia!
And now time has passed
I can love you or just buy you,
Whatever; I'll Love You.
You can love me or reject me,
You can feel me or just trick me,
You can hug me or seduce me,
You can heal me or just leave me,
You can save me or forget me,
I Will Love You Even If...
I Will Love You Forever, Whatever.
Μπορώ να σ' αγαπήσω ή να σ' αγοράσω,
Ότι κι αν γίνει΄ Θα σ' αγαπάω.
Μπορεις να μ' αγαπήσεις ή να με απορρίψεις,
Μπορείς να με νιώσεις ή απλά να με ξεγελάσεις,
Μπορεις να μ' αγκαλιάσεις ή να &
The Beggar And The RobberThe Beggar And The Robber
I run onto the mountain,
I'm faster than the wind
My thought is my Pythia,
My body is an armor
My dream it is my compass
And my faith it's my shield.
I hear a voice, trying to stop me,
He just asks some of my time
"Go Beggar, Leave my mind,
Up, a glow I run to find!"
But what I saw in the dark
Was not a sign or a star
The evil robber's was the thought,
Evil robber, evil fox
He took me up onto his wings,
A joy's laugh onto his lips,
No arms, I had his fire,
And as shield I spelled his name.
Soulless corpses all my foes,
But no peace for me at all
Every night in the dark,
Voices old were stronger back.
Then again I start to run,
Even faster than I can
To the mountain I run back,
To the friend my time asked,
The crazy Beggar, dared to stand.

About the Film:
Gilles Bourdos, 2012, France, 111 mins. French with English subtitles Hawai'i premiere
Set on the French Riviera during the summer of 1915, Gilles Bourdos' lushly atmospheric drama explores a pivotal time in the lives of master painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir and his war-wounded son, Jean. The Renoirs' beautiful home and majestic countryside grounds reverberate with familial intrigue when father and son fall under the spell of a radiantly beautiful muse called Andrée. As one generation of creativity gives way to the next, this enchantingly headstrong young woman becomes the dying painter's last inspiration, and the unexpected figure that may turn Jean's life around.

Product description
With everything from Achilles' heel to Pythagoras' theorem, from Oedipus and his complex to Margaret Thatcher and Thucydides, this book aims to unlock the richness of the Greek world and show just how profoundly it has informed our own. Consider the way we think: about right and wrong, about the nature of beauty, goodness, and truth. What, in the end, it is to be a human being amid the immensity of the universe. All this, and more, we have learned from the ancient Greeks. They moulded the basic disciplines and genres in which we still organise thought: from poetry to drama, from politics to philosophy and history to medicine. Packed with useful cribs - history timelines; a who's who; a guide to the Greek gods; a map for those who struggle to know their Lemnos from their Lesbos - It's All Greek To Me is a bluffer's guide in one sense, that will give you a helping hand around Greek democracy, the Persian Wars, or the Parthenon. But it is much more than that; it is a book that aims to bring ancient Greece back into the mainstream of life - where it belongs.

13 Ways to Have a Dream Wedding for Less
When my husband and I got married we didn't have much money to have any fancy decorations at our wedding. I did, however, come up with some inexpensive, creative ideas to make sure our flower girls were dressed in style.
We had an outdoor wedding in August, so it was easier to dress our young flower girls for the nice weather. We had two flower girls in our wedding, ages 7 and 9. Because we have two mothers who love to sew, the flower girls' dresses were very inexpensive. I picked out a simple, yet elegant sundress pattern, and paid about $3 a yard for a pretty summer print. The dresses were calf length and sleeveless, with a big bow in the back.
My husband had a hand in decorating the flower girls' baskets. He is always one to fix up something instead of throwing it away, so he came up with the idea of spray painting wicker Easter baskets. It was perfect--we already had the baskets and the white spray paint.
Next I tied some pink and white ribbons around the handles of the baskets, and then I glued on some matching silk flowers (just a few, to accent). The baskets were simple and elegant.
Finally we gathered together the rose petals we'd gathered from our garden just for the occasion, and filled the baskets with petals we'd laid out in the sun to dry.
For a finishing touch, I took some of the leftover silk flowers and ribbons and decorated hair clips for the girls.
The grand total for the two matching flower girl dresses, with matching baskets and hair clips, was under $30.

'Biggest crowd' at Oyster Festival
Almost 30,000 people packed the Ettalong Beach Foreshore on Sunday, November 9, for the 14th annual Brisbane Water Oyster Festival.
Peninsula Chamber of Commerce president Mr Matthew Wales said: "This year was by far the biggest crowd we have experienced and clearly shows that locals and visitors love to come to Ettalong Beach and enjoy our oysters, seafood, wine and entertainment.
"The weather was fantastic and the crowds responded accordingly," said Mr Wales.
"Stall holders and local businesses did a roaring trade with the Ettalong Beach Diggers packed with visitors.
"The Festival was boosted by the recent completion of the Ettalong Beach Foreshore upgrade which added a new dimension to the event allowing families to picnic as well as attend the Oyster Festival.
"And no Oyster Festival would be complete without the traditional How Many Oysters You Can Eat in 30 Seconds."

I'm still in knots.
My stomach I mean ... from this week's episode, and it feels great! Wait -- these designers laugh? Wha ... they actually goof around and have fun!?! STOP IT -- THEY CRY!?! Oh, well we knew that one already, but still, we finally got to see the designers interacting with one another, and more importantly, having fun. Granted, it always helps when you pull out embarrassing old photos from past proms: Kit as a conformed brunette, Kevin all jersey'd up, and Christian sporting the most fabulous fierce sparkle unicorn princess vest I've ever seen!
Except for maybe this one:
... maybe next episode.
Well, in case you can't tell, I'm happy to finally see these peeps have a little fun. Yes I know it's a lot of pressure and they're probably aware being that it's the fourth season, that fingers across the world are furiously typing/recapping/critiquing and criticizing every inch of every stitch that they send down the runway, but they must never forget to HAVE FUN!
OK -- enough of this nonsense, let's get into the designs shall we.

|Hockey Today
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 24 January 2008 23:58
Friday, Jan. 25
No games scheduled. The All-Star break begins.
-Daniel Alfredsson, Senators, had three goals and four assists for a team-record seven points, leading Ottawa to an 8-4 victory at Tampa Bay
-Jarret Stoll and Shawn Horcoff, Oilers. Stoll scored twice in the final 1:23 of regulation to force overtime and Horcoff got the only goal in the shootout to help Edmonton beat Florida 4-3.
-Jonathan Cheechoo, Sharks, scored twice in the third period and San Jose topped St. Louis 4-1.
-Pascal Leclaire, Blue Jackets, stopped all 30 shots he faced in Columbus' 1-0 win at Chicago.
-Derek Roy, Sabres, scored his second goal with 14:48 left to lead Buffalo past Dallas 2-1.
-Brendan Shanahan, Rangers, had the only goal of the shootout and New York edged Atlanta 2-1.
-Zbynek Michalek, Coyotes, scored with 29 seconds left in overtime to give Phoenix a 4-3 win over Nashville.
The New York Rangers retired the No. 2 of former defenseman Brian Leetch on Thursday night. Leetch was an 11-time All-Star, the NHL rookie of the year in 1989 a two-time winner of the Norris Trophy for top defenseman and the MVP of the 1994 playoffs. During his speech, Leetch stunned the packed arena by announcing that the Rangers will retire the No. 9 of longtime teammate and ultimate fan favorite Adam Graves, who stood a few steps away at center ice.
Daniel Alfredsson broke his own Ottawa record for points in a game after recording three goals and four assists in Thursday night's 8-4 win at Tampa Bay.
Montreal scored three unanswered goals in the third period and beat New Jersey for the first time in 10 tries, 4-3 on Thursday night. It was also the Canadiens' second victory in their past 20 trips to New Jersey.
Edmonton matched Dallas' NHL record for shootout wins in a season after collecting its 12th in a 4-3 win at Florida on Thursday night. The Oilers' 12 shootout victories are as twice as many as any other team in the league and make up more than half their total of 23 wins. The Stars also had 12 in 2005-06.
San Jose won for the fifth time in seven games and moved into a tie with Dallas atop the Pacific Division after a 4-1 win over St. Louis on Thursday night. The Stars fell 2-1 to Buffalo on Thursday.
Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin has 16 goals in his past 16 games after tallying in a 4-3 loss to Philadelphia on Thursday night.
Columbus' Pascal Leclaire recorded his league-leading eighth shutout of the season after stopping 30 shots in a 1-0 win at Chicago. Blackhawks netminder Nikolai Khabibulin made his first start in six games and made 26 saves, but his personal losing streak reached eight games (0-7-1).
Tampa Bay's John Tortorella coached his 507th game Thursday night, breaking a tie with Herb Brooks for most games coached by an American-born NHL coach.
St. Louis is 0-5-2 in its past seven games after a 4-1 loss at San Jose on Thursday night.
Washington moved within a point of Southeast Division-leading Carolina after holding off Toronto 2-1 on Thursday night. The Capitals have won five of six and are the only NHL team not to lose consecutive games in regulation since Nov. 22, the day Bruce Boudreau took over as coach for Glen Hanlon.
Defenseman Dan Boyle returned to the Tampa Bay lineup Thursday night after missing the previous 36 games following wrist surgery and scored twice in the 8-4 loss to Ottawa. Boyle underwent surgery in early November to repair damaged tendons in his left wrist. He was injured Sept. 22 when a skate slipped from a hook above his locker, then missed the first nine games of the season.
Boston, coming off a home-and-home sweep of the New York Rangers last weekend, defeated the New York Islanders 4-1 Thursday night to take the season series 3-1.
The NHL is in talks to open next season with games in Sweden and the Czech Republic. Swedish Hockey League sports director Tommy Topel said Thursday Ottawa would play Pittsburgh in Stockholm on both days, adding that NHL games are also planned for the same two days in Prague.
``I'm disappointed in the whole team and its commitment to win. Their play was brutal. They already had their plans to head to (Las) Vegas or wherever the hell they're going before the game was half over. It's totally unacceptable. Everything it takes to win a hockey game, we didn't do. It was a total lack of effort from everyone.'' - New Jersey coach Brent Sutter after the Devils blew a three-goal third-period lead en route to a 4-3 loss to Montreal on Thursday night.

Don't Cuddle.
"Grass Orb: Don't Cuddle". Ha. Ok officially year of the dog at my present geographical location… and exhausted, but this amuses me. It also feels like it should have eyes, and giggle when no one is looking, and hang from your ceiling but really take over and being some kind of sci fi creature. Or that was the dream/nightmare i had when i fell asleep mid post. So check it out… as well as the other grassy spaces/objects…
Asylum - heed weed
Been busy trying to find the singapore design/art scene the last few days - and also all these chinese new year happenings… been clubbing and wandering and art showing and meeting some great designers that you will inevitably hear more about here soon…
This pic is from the HEED WEED collaboration show between Yok and Draawer - which occured at Chris Lee's incredible shop/studio Asylum (checking out their website is a must - its so playfully fun in a doodly sort of style). The show was great - reminded me of much of the Giant Robot events back home… and the store has that great wallpaper i can't get enough of… not to mention a glass deli style case for the limited edition sneakers over by the register… and one of the most worldly/eclectic music collections for sale i've ever seen.
Ok, NOTCOT has taken over my brain at the moment, and between the moving/unpacking i've taken to taking pics of the random things around i have been meaning to share. So here's the VW GTI fuzzy black poster i spoke of in the last post. It is so sweet, i LOVE that rabbit image, not to mention its a great shade of red with the flocked black poster… Couldn't resist and took a few extras incase anyone else couldn't live without one too. But you must admit - its a fun one!
Black Hoodies
Dan Witz's Hoodie series of street art stickers. This one is for Dayv. There's just something so iconic about black hoodies, and at the moment i would love nothing more than to escape into the shadows in one… it has that invisibility cloak feeling, that people don't see you and move away from you when you have that hood up. Your shield from the world.
Witz on the Hoodys "The Hoodys came from a dark period in the early nineties. Drugs, HIV, poverty/despair/danger were like a pall of doom over the lower east side (my neighborhood). The grim reaper hoody posters were inspired by plague attitudes from the middle ages and deer x-ing signs—the way the hi way dept. puts up those yellow diamond with black deer silhouettes as warning signs."
Also… these street hummingbirds are gorgeous.
Came across AMKA shop "beyond style" today, and fell in love with their prints. Their online shop displays large scale designer posters printed on tarpaulin or plastified couch paper, and are limited edition (only 200 prints each). In a la fraise style design, you can submit your images for voting on these prints, in addition to their already selected designer pieces. Additionally, there are t-shirts and polos available: take a look at the dark angel shirt.
"AMKA is a registered trade mark (in France, INPI, 2004) of Thomas Gayet who is a graphic designer (27 years old) and the founder of the company Spiritvibes (http://www.spiritvibes.com) which he established in 2001. Spiritvibes is a multimedia agency. Amkashop is a product of Spiritvibes. Amkashop is the realization of a childhood dream. We made it for several reasons but the main one is really because we love clothes and designer posters. All our products are orginal and limited editions (200 prints of each only), Amkashop is offering you clothes and posters that you can't find elsewhere !"
TURBO wall art
TURBO wall art- $2,500.00… Look, they say it so well on the site, who am i to mess with perfection:: Remember Revell models? They were the plastic car kits we used to put together when we were young, with a little glue and a lot of patience. We've taken inspiration from those classic toys to create TURBO, a one-of-a-kind wall sculpture from Jellio Design.
Based on the sprue element the model parts were atached to, TURBO is the first in a series of limited-edition pieces designed to evoke many fond memories from childhood. We're only making ten of these, so you know you'll have something truly unique. It's guaranteed to become the topic of countless hours of conversation in any home. Design: Mario Marsicano, Chris Lenox - Sculpting/casting: Kevin Champeny, Leonid Filitsyan - Manufacturer: Utleys Incorporated, New York - Materials: Aluminum-filled polyurethane resin - Finishing:
Metallic Silver - Mounting: 3 flush-mounted brackets (comes w/template) - Weight: Approx. 40 lbs - Size: 44" x 44", 3/4 inch off the wall
Belgian Santas
BELGIAN SANTAs!!! Yes i admit i haven't been so ho ho ho this season. But this just made my holiday season… my favorite holiday memory of being in belgium was these hanging santa guys! And the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles, went all out with this facade du "BOZAR". Found this on Kezako. Ah santas. Hahaha. Sorry, i can't get over this one. This goes out to Pierre.
Red Dot - Joey Roth
HAPPY NEW YEAR almost. And thank goodness for an end to 2005… and i welcome 2006 with open arms and a dash of skepticism. But all in all, Notcot has been one of the best things to happen this year, and here's one of those tasty best for last of the year posts…
Designer Joey Roth (remember his Garden Geta and Shika posts back in the day?) - has done it again with his Totemo, winning the a Red Dot Award in Productivity this year. The Totemo is described as Strip down to cool. The growing importance of silence in computing mirrors a large-scale shift in the way people think about the products they use. The Totemo is designed with recording studios in mind, but is a computer case equally suited for the home or office environment. The omission of LED's, molded plastic and cooling fans firmly differentiate Totemo from the many computers of today. Its concentration is based on the concept of stripping down the computer case to its bare essentials.
Modest designer that he is, Joey Roth wrote a feature article for Notcot, but just happen to leave out a description of his own project! So take a look at the Totemo on his site, and then read more about his favorite projects and stories from the Red Dot Awards which took place in Singapore recently.
Olympic Friendlies
Mascots for sporting events have always struck me as a little weird. In the U.S., they're usually aggressive, in your face, and "extreme." I've noticed that mascots for international sporting events are more welcoming and friendly, and sometimes a little abstract. The ones for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games take it to another level. They're cute and cuddly! I'm not sure how I feel about them being so darn cute, but I am totally loving the mascot for Shooting.
Art Therapy
"BREAKING UP SUCKS AND PEOPLE SUCK AND LIFE SUCKS" — We've all been there… and if you haven't, well, kudos to you, you're either extremely lucky, or perhaps it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all… but you wouldn't know.
I'm speechless at these new pieces by Shade Elaine, and when i tried to ask her in that cliche "what would you say about these pieces?"… she gave me "they're about the opposite extremes in life… finding the good in the bad, the ugly in the beautiful, and the happiness in the pain?" They are brutally honest, and gorgeously delicate. I might need to buy one for my wall, or beg you guys to help me convince her to make tshirts/posters or just to keep making more like them…
Ok last one, but i needed to share this last quote from one of the articles i was reading about Ban…
Which brings us back to Ban's own monument. The new Pompidou Centre in Metz will not be made of paper. Instead it is based on a Chinese hat made from bamboo strips and oiled paper, that he bought in a Paris market six years ago. "I thought it was very architectonic," he explains. Scaled up, the hat design will form a giant roof woven out of laminated wood and covered in translucent Teflon. The gallery spaces underneath will be enclosed, but the building is essentially a luminous tent separated from the outside only by glass. "I wanted to make a building that's totally open," he says, "to make this a gathering place for all the public, not just people who love art. Also, this location, Metz, is very close to Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland, it's almost in the middle of Europe, so it was very important to be open to other countries. That's why instead of having an object like a box, I designed just a roof."
Ah, inspiration is truly everywhere. I love reminders like these not to listen to the people who think you are crazy when a simple idea recontextualized can come up with such innovation.
Shigeru Ban
Continuing the story from below, this is the mind blowing studio of architect Shigeru Ban (who designed the Nomadic Museum as well)… this studio is on the TOP of the Pompidou. [ref]
Ok once you have gotten over fantasizing about having that studio… Ban is an architect who's taken design to so many new levels, and while his style and modernist looks are impressive, i can not get over his incredible use of cardboard — especially his use of it in creating shelters for victims of natural disasters and others in need… His paper log houses have been shipped around the world… paper emergeny tents… even paper churches.
It started 20 years ago when he was designing an exhibition of the work of his hero, Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. "I couldn't afford to use wood like Aalto would," he explains, "so I looked for some alternative, and paper tubes were all over the studio. When you finish a roll of tracing paper or fax paper, there are always paper tubes left over. They were so strong and so nice, so I kept them. Then I went to the factory where they made them, and I saw they could make any length and any diameter."
His innovation takes leaps and bounds beyond his use of materials… when the UN lost momentum with his cheap temporary housing, he founded the Voluntary Architects Network, which is helping to build temporary houses in various international disaster zones from Turkey to Sri Lanka.
Nomadic Museum
Ok, so i've been a bit quiet because chaos has come (and not quite gone) and in the midst of it i drove up to SF on monday, and worked my way back down slowly then quickly Thurs (back in SD now)… BUT of more interest to you, is what i saw on the way up and down at the parking lot on the beach next to Santa Monica Pier… cranes stacking shipping containers strangely on the way up. Odd enough i figured. On the way back down they had become giant barn like structures… Apparently the Nomadic Museum is coming and will be exhibiting the more than 100 incredible large-scale photographic works and an accompanying 35mm film by artist Gregory Colbert's Ashes & Snow exhibit of animal/human juxtapositions you need to see. This was originally exposed in Venice 2002, and again in New York earlier this year. SM Mirror Article [note: the pic is an old one of the NY installation… SM one isn't quite ready yet]
Tastemakers - ID gods.
Just read through this Forbes' article and slideshow on some of the most influential industrial designers of today… all people you ought to know… but always nice to refresh your memory and read the blurbs on what they're known for and where they came from,… the number of press mentions for each is quite fun to take a look at as well (i think it looks quite hard to beat Starck)…

I would like to know where in Germany, Frederick Henry Fenne was born in approx 1847. He and another male Fenne arrived in London, UK, about 1875. He worked as a Labourer or Gas Stoker. He married Charlotte Caroline Wagner, a shopkeeper, in Fulham in late 1877. He and his family of 10 children lived in Fulham, London. I do not know whether there are any German genealogy databases that could assist with this.

- Covers the 84 mile trip from the Sand Wash put-in to the Swaseys Ramp takeout.
- RiverMaps guidebooks are made by river runners for river runners.
- These large format books are printed on tough synthetic waterproof paper and spiral bound so they lay flat and can take the waves, splash and wear of a river trip.
- Opened up, the left side page has mile-by-mile descriptions of major rapids, campsites and features of interest. There are also great color photos that illustrate the text.
- The right side page features color USGS topographic maps at the scale of 2,000 feet to the inch (1:24,000). There's no better way to keep track of where you are on the river.
- But wait, there's more. In the front of the book is lots of information about the river, the landscape and the flora and fauna.
- The front six pages are chock full of BLM contact info and regulations, tribal contact and permit info, weather, geology, archaeology, history, ecology and resource protection wisdom.
- No matter what other resources you have, this guidebook is really an essential tool for enjoying these magnificent river trips.

Comments about RiverMaps Green River in Desolation & Gray Canyons Guide Book:
This is kind of a funny map book, apparently swiped from USGS quad sheets, with no effort at graphic design. It looks like it was created in Microsoft Word. All to say, it has character. Clearly the author is a true river rat who knows what matters in life -- petroglyphs and a good sandbar to camp on.

Comments about RiverMaps Green River in Desolation & Gray Canyons Guide Book:
Having used River Guides Grand Canyon book on two different trips, I had a certain expectation level of accuracy and information completeness which the Green River guide did not live up to for me. The descriptions of rapids was as accurate as expected. However, we found the campsite info on the Ute side almost useless. The descriptions on several hikes left out important details and made getting to locations described difficult. The information provided, in many instances, seemed dated, third-hand, and imcomplete. If you are going on the Green River though, I am afraid there are probably no better alternatives - just don't rely soley on this and get some local knowledge from others who know the river.

Comments about RiverMaps Green River in Desolation & Gray Canyons Guide Book:
I used this guide book on a recent Deso/Gray trip in combination with the Belnap guide. Each guidebook has advantages and some unique information. So I would take both if you really want to explore the area. The RiverMaps guide books have the best topo maps of the surrounding area and better descriptions of potential camp sites. If you are only taking one guide book, the RiverMaps version is the best choice.

Even listening to it at double-speed, Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography ate up my whole day — and I'm barely up to 1985. It's so interesting! Not least because I'm listening to it on a Jobs-inspired iPhone 5 as I walk to and from the Jobs-inspired Apple store to swap it out for one that won't reset itself every ten minutes or so.
(Only to find that the swapped-out phone does this, too, so it must be a software problem.)
I bought some AAPL at $512 the other day, down from $700 — but sold it yesterday at $522 because I'm wondering why I've had so many problems with my (otherwise miraculous) iPhone 5. Okay, iPhones 5 — plural — one AT&T, one Verizon — my excuse being that, hey, look, I don't own a car and my Swatch cost $50, so sue me: I own two iPhones.
So no column today. But I reorganized one of my closets and got 143 points with CHALKIER, playing off the K my words-with-friend had put down, and getting a triple double-word score and using all letters.
And I decided that most of us can use basically just half what we use today — half the size toothpaste dab, half the amount of shaving cream (if any at all — it's not a law, you know: a disposable razor cuts most stubble just fine without shaving cream, if done right out of the shower) — half as much detergent, half as many potato chips (again if any at all), half as many blog entries. If this works for you, you've just cut the cost of such items in half. And are living lighter on the land, for which Mother Nature thanks you.
So: no column again today.

|Easier approach: optional parking near the power lines. At the power lines on the west side of the road, look across the road and you can see the cliff. Follow the dirt road just left of the power lines uphill. This will put you directly under the power lines. Keep following the dirt road until the second set of power line poles right by 2 car-sized boulders. Just before the boulders, follow the path into the woods. There is a large cairn 20 feet in. Follow the path pretty much paralleling the road for 10 min. As of late sept 2014 there were lots of hornets and looked like many nests by climbs 5-9 or so. Also, the bridge is out at the moment, but that's okay because you do not need to cross it.

The parking area under the powerlines is definitely closer, and we also used to park there. However, we were politely asked one day by the gentleman across the street not to park there, and to instead use the area up the road. Not sure if this is still the case, as we haven't been there in two years, but just thought we'd make a note of it.
Regardless of where you park, have a fun time out climbing!
