Sometimes you come across a line that inspires you. It takes you to new heights in your imagination of fashion, what it can be and what it should look like. That's how I felt when I first saw Erin Barr's designs on Refinery29′s top new designers to watch. Barr's designs were innovative, unique, high-fashion and yet pliable—a new kind of couture. I wanted to know about her, her inspiration for the line and where she sees her career going…cause to me if she plays her cards right she should be joining the all-boys club of Altuzarra, Wang and the Schouler boys. All she needs now is an "it" bag, right?
So where does Erin come from? Will she be making waves in the fashion industry for decades to come? This former hair and make-up artist tells all in an exclusive interview for The Icon Concierge.
ICON: You used to be a hair and make-up artist, how and why did you decide to move into fashion?
EB: For me, it was an easy decision, because I thought, 'What do I have to lose?' I really felt that I just wanted more; I wanted to create and be creative on a bigger scale; to create the whole look. Growing up, I was always getting fashion magazines, and I remember I would create these entire scrapbooks full of fashion photography and inspiration. I guess I've just been really inspired by fashion my whole life; enamored by it.
ICON: Your line is super new, but you've already garnered some great press, how does
that feel?
EB: It's wonderful! It's exciting to see and hear that other people are excited
about the line. It's very motivating.
ICON: Your debut collection for the Spring 2012 season was called, "An American Tomboy in Paris," what inspired it?
EB: For SS12, I was really into the idea of taking the simplicity of American style, and combining it with the classic, French, chic style. I would imagine this American tomboy, literally roaming around the streets of Paris. She's classy, but simple; a 'no-fuss' attitude, but she'll also hop on the back of a motorcycle and just look effortless. I also pulled in a little of that American western attitude to really throw it for a greater curve.
ICON: What type of woman wears Erin Barr?
EB: The Erin Barr woman is strong and confident, and has an appreciation for finer things and an eye for creativity. She likes the idea of being able to go from day to night, without too much preparation.
ICON: Any celebrities you'd love to dress?
EB: Let's see…. Just to name a few… Kate Bosworth, Katie Holmes, Kate Moss (or just all the Kates in the world), Joan Smalls, Kim Gordon, and Grimes! Oh, and Patti Smith in an EB button-down would be incredible.
ICON: What's next for Erin Barr? Where do you want to see your line going in the future?
EB: Next, we will debut our Spring/Summer 2013 collection during NYFW! I am very excited for this. It'll be so rewarding to see all of this come together. And in the future, I would really like to see the line becoming more accessible to more people, and eventually on a more global scale. But it's about taking what you can handle and really catering to your customer, so I am always focused on that.

Aronian remains half a point ahead of Carlsen in Monaco
Just like round 6, the 8th round of the 2011 Amber Blindfold and Rapid Tournament in Monaco saw six draws in the blindfold section and six wins in the rapid. Going into the second rest day, Levon Aronian remains half a point ahead of Magnus Carlsen. After losing 1.5-0.5 today Vladimir Kramnik is now last in the overall standings.

Aronian and Carlsen way ahead of the pack
Round 8 report courtesy of the official website
After eight rounds Levon Aronian remains the proud leader at the Amber Blindfold and Rapid Tournament. The Armenian GM defeated World Champion Vishy Anand 1½-½. With three rounds to go Magnus Carlsen seems to be his only remaining challenger. The Norwegian GM follows at half-a-point's distance after defeating Veselin Topalov 1½-½. In third place Vishy Anand and Vasily Ivanchuk are already three points behind. Aronian defended his lead in the blindfold competition. In the rapid competition Carlsen calls the shots, one point ahead of Aronian.
The € 1,000 Game of the Day Prize was awarded to Levon Aronian for his rapid win over Vishy Anand.
The blindfold game between Alexander Grischuk and Hikaru Nakamura was a protracted fight with chances for both sides. The Russian grandmaster got a pleasant game against the Dutch Defence of his American colleague, but when he allowed Black to transfer a rook to c4, the initiative changed hands. But when Nakamura allowed White to start an attack on the kingside with 41.g5 and 42.h4 the tables were turned again. Grischuk felt he was winning, but couldn't substantiate his hunch with moves. He had to cease his efforts after 67 moves when a threefold repetition forced the draw.
The rapid game was a clash between two King's Indian titans, this time with Grischuk behind the black pieces. Things were normal until Nakamura frantically started moving around his king's knight, which might have been clever in a blindfold game, but didn't bring him much with both players having sight of the board. Black got the upper hand, but as has been their habit in most of their encounters they both got in terrible time-trouble. This time Nakamura was on the right side. Grischuk made the last mistake when on the 51st move he didn't take on a7. Ten moves on he could resign.
The blindfold game between Vishy Anand and Levon Aronian was a rather short affair. In a d3-Ruy Lopez the World Champion was surprised by the manoeuvre 11…Nb8 instead of the developing method …Ne7 and …Ng6 which is often played in this type of position. Afterwards Anand was unhappy about 12.Bc4, which he called a mistake. He had been looking at 12.Qb3, but wasn't too impressed by 12…c6 13.Bc4 d5 14.exd5 b5, which in hindsight was quite promising for White, as both players agreed. After Anand had missed this chance the white initiative quickly fizzled out and led to a draw in 17 moves.
In the rapid game Aronian defeated Anand in impressive manner. After the game the Armenian grandmaster explained that the variation starting with 7.dxc5 was very special to him as he used it in a crucial last-round game at the World Juniors in 2001 against Yakovenko. He vaguely remembered that a strong player had also used it and Anand kindly informed him that this had be him against Polugaevsky at the first Amber tournament in Roquebrune in 1992! In today's game White had a nice advantage after 22.h3 due to the weakness of b7. Black's 26th move was not the best, he should have played 26…Ne4, although White retains an edge. Now things went awry for Anand and after 28.Qxb4 Aronian already called the position 'technical'. There were still more than 30 moves to follow, but indeed the kibitzing GMs never had any doubts about the outcome.
The blindfold game between Boris Gelfand and Vasily Ivanchuk lasted almost two hours. From the opening the Ukrainian grandmaster obtained a favourable position, but the game turned around when in his calculations he missed 30.Ne7+ and lost an exchange. Still, Ivanchuk kept compensation and didn't really get in danger. The players ended up in a rook versus bishop ending, which is a theoretical draw, but the bishop side has to be cautious. Which he was and after 89 moves Ivanchuk saved the draw.
In the rapid game Ivanchuk introduced a novelty, 17.Rc1. In a game Gashimov-Wang Yue 17.Nd2 was played. Ivanchuk's set-up worked out well and after 23.Qf3 he obtained a position containing various tactical threats that was dangerous for Black. Ivanchuk could have crowned his efforts with 29.Qxb7. Instead he let Gelfand back into the game with 29.Qh7. But Black's relief was short-lived as with 31…Qa1+ he got himself in trouble again (31…Qc1+ 32.Kg2 Qc6+ 33.Kh3 Qe8 would have forced a draw). Now there was no way back anymore and a couple of moves later Gelfand resigned.
The blindfold game between Vladimir Kramnik and Vugar Gashimov was a further sign that the Russian grandmaster is struggling with his form. In the opening he repeated a line that Gashimov(!) played against Topalov in Nanjing last year, but his 9.Bb5 was considerably weaker than 9.Bg5 as the Azeri GM played on that occasion. Kramnik was surprised by Gashimov's 14…a5 and his 22nd move was a clear mistake (he should have played 22.bxa5). After 25…Rxd3 is was clear that White was losing. However, Gashimov also had his weak moment. With 39…Rc3 40.Ra5 c3 he could have kept his winning advantage, his 39…Ra1 allowed 40.Rf5 and White saved the draw.
In the rapid game Gashimov followed a plan, involving Nd2, h3 and g4, that has been played several times by Azerbaijani grandmaster Rauf Mamedov. Gashimov not only criticized Black's 8th move, but also his 13th and 15th move (better were 13…Be7 and 15…h5). After 19 moves Black was 'just losing' and in Gashimov's words 'the rest was easy'.
Anish Giri was slightly disappointed that his blindfold game against Sergey Karjakin ended in a draw. He had hoped for more, although he was the first to stress that objectively speaking there were not too many objective reasons for his expectations. In the opening he was satisfied about his moves 15…Ne5 and 16…Qc6 and he believed that White should have looked for equality with 17.Bd4. Instead, Karjakin sacrificed a pawn. This was a risky decision, but he kept good drawing chances and secured the draw without too much effort.
In the rapid game the players repeated the game Kramnik-Karjakin from this tournament. On move 15 Karjakin improved with 15…c5. The position that arose led to heated discussions after the game when Giri's optimism about his chances was heavily undermined by an enthusiastic group of some of the world's leading grandmasters. Having listened to their opinions he concluded that in fact White has nothing at all and that Black's perspectives are better. However, all this didn't bring Karjakin nothing when he went seriously wrong with 25…g5. This optimistic push was rudely refuted by 26.e4. Now Giri was winning and grabbing his chance he finished the game in fine style.
The blindfold game between Veselin Topalov and Magnus Carlsen, a Ruy Lopez, sped to a draw when the Bulgarian grandmaster missed Black's 19…Bxe4. The freeing move led to a number of exchanges and when the vacuum cleaning was done, there was not real reason for any side to play on.
In the rapid game Carlsen opted to counter Topalov's Sicilian with the Grand Prix Attack. Black got into trouble as early as move 10 when 10…f5 allowed 'the old trick Nd5' which gave White very good play. After 17.Ra3 the position was 'really horrible for Black'. Carlsen could play for the gallery, which he did with 19.Rg5, where he might have played it safe with 19.c4. The rest was silence. With pointed moves White ripped apart the black position and after 29 moves the point was his.

I don't care that this isn't classical chess and that they haven't played any title matches, Aronian and Carlsen are the two best players in the world, that's just the way it is.

They are young and can perform at full strength consistently. Old timers like Anand and Kramnik still excell when it matters though.

@S2 "Old timers like Anand and Kramnik still excell when it matters though."
Anand, by crushing Carlsen in their blindfold game today, just proved your theory correct. My bet is still on Anand. Old people power !!
- Log in to post comments
What is wrong with you people?
How is Anand old? He is just 41 and this is an intellectual game. It is surprising that his rapid chess reflexes are still world-class (top 3 in the world), he is able to play blind-fold so well, but classical chess? - 41 is still young.
Sometimes I wonder whether people here know a "stih" about chess, but that is just my disappointment. I know most of you do, and your postings are not always objective.
Let us judge a person's chess age by the game he plays. In any case, I absolutely think 40s is not old especially for chess.
- Log in to post comments
Sad to say, but anyone over forty is considered old these days. Just listen to your kids, nieces, nephews, young people in general. I dont't understand it. I thought a hundred years old was old. But not anymore.
- Log in to post comments
So when it matters is in Amber Blindfold when Anand wins a game but in Kramnik's case this doesn't seem to be when it matters :) Nice win and unusual to see Carlsen blunder away the draw in the endgame, but worse mistakes have been made in this blindfold event and not much to say except well done Anand.

1> You want to base your judgement on one rapid tournament which is not even over yet?
2> If aronian / carlsen are best , why are they not ahead of anand in ratings?
3> In a single tournament luck can be decisive factor . Aronian has won 3 games as he was plain lucky.
Anand is the world no 1 and the world champion.

gg, carlsen and aronian are one of the best but not the best.
Karmnik, Anand, topalov and ivanchuk are no less than them, even karjakin.
Waiting for the candidate matches. i have a gut feeling that toplov still has some tricks left which he can use in cndidate matches
- Log in to post comments
Carlsen is no better than Topalov and Karjakin? I disagree with you about that one, Kramnik and Ivanchuk as well. Anand is around the same level as Aronian and Carlsen, but no one else is, as I see it.
- Log in to post comments
It isn't only this tournament, of course, it's just another sign that the future is theirs. Anand is a great player but it's more than three years since he won a tournament, and as much as I admire the World Champion, many other players are good enough to barely squeeze past Topalov in a match. I don't even want to think about how a match between Carlsen and Topalov would look, it wouldn't be much of a contest. Since 2009 Carlsen has 4-0 in classical and some more wins without losses in other formats. To me Anand is #3 behind Carlsen and Aronian, I'd rank Karjakin as #4 and then maybe Ivanchuk. Others obviously disagree and see Anand as the best player in the world at the moment, but I don't think he's better than Aronian and Carlsen.
- Log in to post comments
I think Carlsen is the best chessplayer in the world, because:
- he has won more tournaments than any other super-GM the last years
- he has been nr. 1 on the FIDE-rankings
- he is young
- he is good in everyting (blitz, rapid, bf, classic)
Some people here think that the WC-cycle is the only great thing to win. I disagree. The world champion is good in marathon-chess. Carlsen is best in the rest!
I really respect Anand, but he is twice as old as Carlsen, and he never win tournaments anymore, and he always gets away with a draw...
- Log in to post comments
He may not win tournaments but in the last series of tournaments where both participated he ended up as high or above Carlsen:
Last tree: Bilbao (above) London (equal) Tata( above).

Chucky is the man. from -4 to +1 including 2-0 over Carlsen 1.5 over Anand, Grischuk and Gelfand! Won three game of the day prizes in a row... and certainly has contention for a 4th!

I totally agree with gg. Aronian and Carlsen are alone on the top. Then comes Anand. Then Naka and the East European-bunch down to 10th place on the liverating. Forget the rest.

If they are alone at the top let the top the live ratings / win the world champion ship.
Carlsen cannot be champion as he has chicked out....
Aronian is playing in candidates . Their his true strength will be known....

The true strength of the players is showed by their results taken together, not by one event like the Candidates, with tiny matches played one after another and rapid/blitz tiebreaks.

If Chucky is the man, why is he so many points behind Aronian and Carlsen???

Anand, Kramnik and Topalov have their task cut out with the younger generation surging ahead. Anand is Aronian's bunny. If Aronian happens to meet Anand in 2012 it will be painful to see.We may probably witness the most one sided match since Short Kasparov.
- Log in to post comments
i pity u for ur short sightedness, basing ur comments on a few rapid n blindfold games
- Log in to post comments
I have said it before and I say it again now:
Anand will win the 2012 World Championship in style against anyone, including Aronian. Though it would be closest against Aronian, with Magnus, Anand would "Kramnik" him. Unfortunately for us Chess Fans, Magnus has denied us his contest both against Aronian (in the candidates) and a potential match against World Champion Anand.
Anything has happen in a candidates, but based on strength and current record, I expect Aronian to qualify and then he would lose against Anand in 2012. I know this assertion could be unpopular, but please remember and check my instinct after the 2012 world championship match.
Last but not the least, before getting carried away by immediate results of one-game blindfolds and rapid games, like the office of presidency, let us hold the tradition of the World Chess Championship as the gold standard. Whoever shows the potential (how much ever persuasive the arguments of the records can be), let them first beat the World Champion in a World Champion title match. Then they can win our respect as the World Championship.
This is not soccer, or tennis or hockey or basketball. This has been the time honored tradition in chess, and then the "World Champion" can win our ultimate respect. Till then everything else is speculation, in my opinion.

And do some of you guys even follow chess or just yap your mouth? The shortest match since Kasparov? Give me a break.
- Log in to post comments
I think, either that or people just get carried with personalities and give an emotional response rather than an objective response based purely on facts.
Anand might not have "won" a championship last 3 years, but he has been second I think in almost all the tournaments that he has participated, consistently. He has just missed winning by superlative performances of Aronian, Magnus, and on occasions by others like Hiraku Nakamura. But if you see really great players like Kramnik, Karjakin, and on one or more occasion, even Magnus crash and burn, you would realize how good all these grandmasters are, and how difficult it is to consistently almost win these tournaments as Anand has been without displaying all of his preparation or having the motivation to win at all costs, like Magnus has to after skipping the candidates.
- Log in to post comments
I dont agree that Carlsen is stronger than Anand is.Just take a look their head to head in classical games.Carlsen is not yet stronger.Aronian might claim to be the strongest and might be the only player able to defeat Vishy in a match.

Apparently you aren't following chess that closely, including some of the discussions here on Amber: There will be a candidates event in May ... .

I think he was asking, which next elite tounament anand will be part off.
i also want to know
- Log in to post comments
Anand has another, the 3rd, world championship match coming up next year.
Anand, who's won Amber 4 or 5 times, TATA 5 or 6 times, Mainz Rapid 11 or 12 times, and tops all rating lists now, probably finds it hard getting motivated for anything but a head to head multi-million-euro wc match.
Sad that some folks miss this point when throwing the words "best" or "greatest" around these forums.
I'm greatful that he even plays these side shows!
- Log in to post comments
Very nicely communicated Mr. RealityCheck,
And this is not taking anything away from the incredible performances of Aronian and Magnus. And a Chess Fan, I am a great fan of them too.
But as long as Anand is the World Chess Champion (which should not be in question now), I want him to be respected just like any other, well World Champion!!, that he has earned and deserves.

Kramnik has surprised me too. I think he needs to be watched in the candidates against Aronian though. That would be a great test for the both of them, currently (short matches or not).
I also note and am glad that both Topolov and Dalinov HAVE SHUT ALL THEIR HOLES UP and Topolov is just trying to play chess. No smart ass shooting of their mouth and insulting the World Champion's wife.
Their failures have taken care of it.

Looks like it.
Either that or he is currently better than Anand that he has a chance to prove in 2012. I am 100% with Anand in 2012 though.
Like everyone else, I am a fan of Aronian's play and consistency, and to a slightly lesser extent, of Magnus.

Chess is alive and well despite the power of mighty computer programs and databases, long live the Royal game!

Some questions about the blindfold games:
1. Do the players see the previous moves on their laptop/scoresheet?
2. How do they excecute moves: by dragging from quare to square or notating the move? And what happens when they drag a piece from a square where there is not really a piece?

No scoresheet.

Richard III
the tragedy by William Shakespeare
directed by David Demke
and featuring Dan McCleary
GPAC/Duncan-Williams Performance Hall
October 30, 31, and November 1, 2014
at 7:00 pm
Sponsored by Ann and Wellford Tabor
"I shall despair. There is no creature loves me,
And if I die, no soul will pity me."
Only THREE special Halloween performances!
TSC's production of William Shakespeare's early Morality Play raises history from the dead to put the notorious King Richard III on trial before you and the spirit world.
Unearthed from a buried Friary just two years ago in Leicester, England, the painfully deformed 1485 skeleton of Richard now is brought to frightening life in a cadaver synod during which his murderous actions to the throne are reconsidered during the reverence of All Hallow's Eve. A soul still wandering between this life and the next, history's notorious "bottled spider" has much more he would like for you to consider before passing final judgment on his actions that gained him the throne but have haunted him ever since.
David Demke (A Midsummer Night's Dream) returns to TSC to direct the production with a stellar cast of eight actors, including the return of Caley Milliken, (TSC's Ariel, Marc Antony, Lady Capulet, and Peaseblossom), Paul Kiernan (TSC's Petruchio), Johnny Lee Davenport (TSC's Prospero, Oberon, and Othello), and Artistic Director Dan McCleary as the "bunch-back'd toad."
The creative team includes costumer Bruce Bui (Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet), lighting designer Jeremy Fisher (Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Unto the Breach), and scenic designer Brian Ruggaber (University of Memphis, Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey).
Free Will Kids' Night is in effect for all performances: Children 17 years and younger will be admitted FREE when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian. Limit: four children per guardian. Seating is general admission.

|Moral :
|When the Klingon ship makes an attack, it is reported to be travelling at warp speed. Shortly afterwards, Sulu calls off the range to the ship in kilometres, but the rate at which the range numbers change is way too slow for a ship doing faster than light speeds. It's possible that the Klingon ship slowed to impulse, but it's odd that nobody commented on this if it happened.
Speaking of the Klingon attack, several shots of the bridge show somebody else sitting in Chekov's chair.
When Kirk and Elan are arguing, she says "If I have to stay here for ten light years, I will not be soiled by any contact with you!" This is the only time I know of that TOS fell into the old error of thinking that a light year is a measure of time rather than distance! Bad form! However... consider that it is Elan that says it, and the point of her character is that she is this spoiled brat who is unwise in the ways of the real world. Could it possibly be that this is actually a subtle bit of writing in which Elan is supposed to have been in error? I report, you decide!
|Great Moment :
|I love the ambassador's frustration with Elaan, especially after she stabs him and he declares that he wouldn't have her marry his leader if the entire galaxy depended on it.
|Body Count :
|The Troyian ambassador is injured, but recovers. Two Elasians get stunned by Spock. One engineer is killed by an Elasian, who then commits suicide. Possible casualties on the Klingon ship when the Enterprise torpedoes it during the attack, but no report on the matter is made.
|Factoid :
|This episode establishes that the USS in USS Enterprise stands for "United Space Ship".
This is the first time we see the Klingon cruiser design.
|Quote :
|"Mister Spock, the women on your planet are logical. That's the only planet in this galaxy that can make that claim." - Kirk to Spock
"Captain, that ancient custom called 'spanking'. What is it?" - Elan to Kirk
The Enterprise is assigned to transport Elaan, the Dohlman of Elas, to the neighbouring planet of Troyius, where she is to marry the ruler as part of a deal to bring peace between the two worlds. The mission is considered vital to the Federation as the Tellun system is located on the border between Federation and Klingon space.
Unfortunately Elaan proves to be a self-centred, hateful shrew who can barely stand to be in the same room as the Troyian ambassador who is tasked with preparing her for her wedding. Accompanied by a group of bodyguards with nuclear powered sidearms and body armour, Elaan demands unquestioning obedience from everybody around her - including Kirk. She is utterly contemptuous of ambassador Petri, rejecting his attempts at flatter with expensive gifts from Troyius.
When Kirk suggests that Petri adopt a more aggressive stance with his charge, Elaan responds by trying to murder him with a knife. With Petri immobilised in sickbay and angrily declaring that he will no longer support the wedding, Kirk finds himself responsible for completing her preparations. He adopts a "tough" approach - literally having her bodyguards stunned so that he can get into her quarters. Eventually he begins to make a little progress with Elaan. Meanwhile his task is complicated by a Klingon cruiser which is dogging the ship's journey to Troyius, apparently hoping to disrupt proceedings. Uhura intercepts a tightbeam transmission from the Klingon ship to somebody on board the Enterprise - Kryton, the commander of Elaan's bodyguard. Kryton commits suicide rather than be interrogated, but his work is already done; he has planted a bomb aboard which will detonate if the ship goes to warp. Although the bomb is defused, Scotty finds that the dilithium crystal converter assembly has also been fused, disabling the warp drive. Without power the Enterprise is helpless, unable to manoeuvre or fire phasers. The Klingons attack, and although Kirk does his best it is clear that he has no chance against such odds.
As the battle continues Spock detects strange energy readings coming from Elaan - her necklace is made of uncut dilithium crystals, a common stone in the system. She donates the necklace, and using the crystals Scotty is able to restore power just in time for Kirk to cut loose with photon torpedoes and cripple the Klingon ship. The Enterprise proceeds on course to Troyius, with Elaan now accepting her role as wife to its ruler.
Although the story is an obvious rip-off of "the taming of the shrew", this one is a pretty good episode. France Nuyen does a good job as Elaan, making her more than enough of a nightmare to keep Kirk busy. The Klingon cruiser is nicely menacing, especially once the Enterprise is disabled. The use of "magic tears" to make Kirk fall hopelessley in love with Elaan is a bit silly - wouldn't it have been better to show a genuine attraction to the two, a la "The Perfect Mate"? Still, whilst it would be well in character for Kirk to fall fast and hard for a woman, it would be out of character for him to allow it to threaten his command priorities so perhaps adding a chemical reason makes sense in that respect.

Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, March 5, 2013
The "National Enquirer" says FERGIE and JOSH DUHAMEL are expecting twins. --A source says, quote, "Fergie and Josh feel like they hit the baby jackpot. They waited a long time but it's all paying off because they say they're expecting twins. They couldn't be happier."
JUSTIN BIEBER was BOOED when he took the stage last night for the first of four shows at London's O2 arena . . . because he was TWO HOURS LATE. --The show was supposed to start at 8:30, but he didn't get out there until 10:30. A lot of younger fans had to leave before the show even started. There's no word why it was delayed.
Actor-rapper Jaden Smith and reality star Kylie Jenner are reportedly dating. The 14-year-old actor and 15-year-old reality star were spotted on a lunch date in London over the weekend. Sources say the two are dating and have been friends forever. --Jaden is Will Smith's famous son, and Kylie is daughter to Bruce and Kris Jenner.

Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, March 4, 2013
On the PBS series "Finding Your Roots", KEVIN BACON and his wife KYRA SEDGWICK found out that they're RELATED. Not, like, incest-related. They're 9th cousins once removed. --Kyra said, quote, "As long as we're not first cousins, it's fine." --Meanwhile, Kevin also found out he and BRAD PITT are 13th cousins twice removed . . . and he and PRESIDENT OBAMA are 12th cousins three times removed.
CHARLIZE THERON ballroom danced for SETH MACFARLANE at the Oscars. And that may have led to something more. Sources say they got to know each other during rehearsals, then spent a lot of time together at after-parties. --A source says, quote, "This is early, but I see a new relationship brewing."
In the new issue of "Elle" magazine, RIHANNA talks about wanting her relationship with CHRIS BROWN to "last forever." She adds, quote, "What we want [is] a great friendship that's unbreakable. Now that we're adults we can do this right. We got a fresh start and I'm thankful for that."
JUSTIN BIEBER booked a party at a London club to celebrate his 19th birthday. As you may know, the drinking age in the U.K. is 18. But some of Justin's entourage are still younger than that, including JADEN SMITH, who was refused entry because he's only 14. So Justin and his people left the club, and Justin later Tweeted, quote, "Worst birthday."
We all know CHARLIE SHEEN thinks he can do anything. But he might be overselling himself this time . . . because he thinks he can save LINDSAY LOHAN. --Charlie says, quote, "She clearly needs a mentor, whether she wants one or not. She can continue to hang out with her dress shredding club buddies, or turn to me for some advice from a guy who's been down the road as well as every other side trail on the journey. If she listens, she'll win. If she doesn't, that's on her." --He also wants you to know that he hasn't hit that . . . quote, "I love her, I respect her, and I've never laid a finger on her that wasn't on film. How ya like me now, America?"

Friday, March 1, 2013
Now that "Snow White and the Huntsman" director RUPERT SANDERS is single, he's free to take that affair with KRISTEN STEWART all the way. Unfortunately, she doesn't feel the same way. --RadarOnline says Rupert has been texting and emailing Kristen, but she's not responding. A source says, quote, "Rupert's reached out to Kristen, but she doesn't want anything to do with him. --In truth, she regrets ever getting involved with Rupert, because of how much it hurt ROBERT PATTINSON and the amount of public backlash she was subjected to." --It's still not clear where Kristen stands with Robert . . . but ideally, she wants him back.
"Girls Gone Wild" founder JOE FRANCIS is placing the company under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, in order to pay off a $30 million debt he owes to the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas. But he says the company remains strong financially, and it'll be, quote, "business as usual" for "Girls Gone Wild". Meanwhile, the Casino is going to keep chasing him down for the money.
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER has been seen out with a mystery woman lately and it is indeed his girlfriend. We don't know much about her, except that her name is Heather Milligan and they've been dating since the fall. --Oh, and also, we're pretty sure she's not his housekeeper.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have turned down several offers for their Bel Air mansion -- even though those bids would have netted them $1 million profit. --According to TMZ, the couple bought the home for $9 million at the end of January and have already been offered $10.5 million for it. But they're saying "no thanks" because they've already started re-modeling and are looking forward to moving in several months from now.

Fine me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, February 28, 2013
64-year-old STEVEN TYLER was photographed going into a Los Angeles restaurant with CLINT EASTWOOD'S 19-year-old daughter FRANCESCA. We don't know if it was a date, but sources say a "friend" of Francesca's asked the photographer to delete the photos. He didn't. There's a 45-year age difference between Steven and Francesca.
The "Star" tabloid claims LIAM HEMSWORTH messed around on MILEY CYRUS with "Mad Men" star JANUARY JONES at a pre-Oscar party over the weekend. --Liam showed up at the party stag, and witnesses say he and January were getting cozy for much of the night. --A source says, quote, "It looked like they had some hot chemistry. They were all over each other . . . and they even kissed!" --To make matters worse, they left TOGETHER . . . in the same car. And we can actually verify that part of the story, because there are pictures.
MATT DAMON and Luciana Barroso got married eight years ago in a small, city hall ceremony. And now, the "New York Post" says they're planning the big, blow-out party they never had. --They've reportedly sent out "save the date" cards for friends for some kind of destination re-wedding. It's supposedly happening in April, but there's no word where. They're telling guests not to bring their kids.
Here we go again with the JENNIFER ANISTON marriage rumors. "People" magazine says she's marrying JUSTIN THEROUX shortly after she finishes filming her latest movie on March 8th.
2/27/13 LiLo Becoming Motivational Speaker
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, February 27, 2013
Lindsay Lohan's new lawyer wants to start the Lindsay Lohan Foundation to benefit young people. --Mark Heller sent a letter to the prosecution in Lohan's case to show that the LiLo is serious about turning her life around. --In the letter, he says Lindsay will work on public service messages and visit schools, hospitals, and other venues where she may provide inspirational talks, encouraging children to pursue positive goals and avoid bad habits. --He also says he's exploring the establishment of a Lindsay Lohan Foundation that will provide a non-profit program to benefit young people
The British Tabloids are saying RIHANNA and CHRIS BROWN are getting married this summer. He proposed after the Grammys, she accepted, and they're making The Big Mistake in her native Barbados. --And it's going to be wild. A source says, quote, "It's all about swagger, bling and sin. They want tattoo artists, fire breathers and a near-naked waitstaff. They're even talking about having PRE-ROLLED JOINTS at the reception." --But there's talk that KATY PERRY will NOT be in attendance . . . because she's never supported Rihanna's decision to forgive Chris and take him back.
Huge news everybody! JUSTIN BIEBER got his MILLIONTH tattoo! It's the Greek letter Chi . . . which is basically just an "X" . . . on his forearm.
BOBBY BROWN has been sentenced to 55 days in jail and four years probation for his latest DUI arrest. --Bobby was busted last October, and pleaded no contest. He also has to complete an 18-month alcohol program. --Bobby had a previous DUI conviction earlier in the year, and one all the way back in 1996.

Modern Marvels: Bricks explores this vast past, highlighting defining moments in brick, such as the Great London Fire of 1666, the zenith years of brick in the New York Hudson River Valley, and brick as an essential building block in infrastructure and industry.
The history of brick is the story of civilization, and it has been said that, "architecture itself began when two bricks were put together well". Although many great civilizations have risen and fallen, the narrative of their ingenuity can be found in the brick-and-mortar structures that defiantly stand against time and the elements. From great Egypt temples to the Roman Aqueducts, the Great Wall of China, and the dome of the Hagia Sophia, brick is one of the oldest, yet least celebrated, building material manufactured by man.
This program features advancements in brickmaking through the ages leading to the state-of-the-art facilities used to make brick today. Construction techniques, trends, and the future of brick construction are also explored.

This thread is probably not going to be particularly helpful to anyone, so I am not sure what an appropriate contribution would be.
On the one hand, the last thing people who suffer from mental illness need is further stigma. Clearly many of them practice and practice well. Another example (in addition to the one I mentioned above) that comes to mind is Pema Chodron, who for a long time suffered from debilitating chronic fatigue syndrome. Taigu, of the Treeleaf, recently admitted battling depression, and Lou Nordstrom is another case (both in Zen).
On the other hand, becoming an Ariya does follow from many causes and conditions and I although according to the current understanding mental illness may sometimes be of purely physiological origin, just like mental disability, I don't see either one as compatible with complete liberation. Can an arahat be depressed? Bipolar? What happens to freedom from delusion then? Perhaps in case of an arahat if the physical causes persist, he/she would discern them and not be deceived?
And perhaps even physical causes can be overcome in the course of practice? I don't know. I've certainly heard many amazing anecdotes and I seemed to have cured myself from colds several times during periods of intensive meditation. So who knows?

Rated 5 out of 5 by FashionLover79 Great bag for summer! Great colors for summer. The bag is roomy and looks very classy. July 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michan The color is gorgeous. I love the color combination. Very cute but mature. The length if the handles are perfect. It's long enough to put your arm through. The bottom has enough structure that the shape won't change with your belongings inside. May 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AE345 Very Chic Bag This bag is perfect for the spring/summer! It's big enough to use daily and if you take the strap off, it's nice for an evening out. The quality is nice and you will definitely have to take care of it a little more because the bottom of the bag is off-white. Love this bag and will be using a lot! January 12, 2014

LG phones
LG Cookie review
The LG KP500 is nicknamed the Cookie. It's billed as an affordable touchscreen phone and in fact there are some amazing deals out there to tempt you. But before you rush off to buy one, join us in a tour of the Cookie, and let's find out what's missing compared to more expensive rival touchscreen phones.
Let's start by looking at what you do get. You get a genuine touchscreen-driven phone (not just one with touch-sensitive buttons) that is controlled by pressing virtual buttons and icons with your finger or the stylus that's supplied with the phone. Pioneered by the iPhone (and others), touchscreen is the hottest trend in mobile phones, and it's hard to underestimate the amount of fun that you can have pressing virtual buttons on a screen. Especially for people like us, who don't get out enough. In the early days touchscreen phones were often tricky to use, but these days they're all pretty easy once you've got used to them. We don't think that the Cookie will pose any trouble, although some may find the stylus a nuisance. Anyway, great fun to use! The KP500 also has a built-in accelerometer, which simply means that it senses which way is up and automatically rotates the display. The virtual QWERTY keyboard slides into view when you turn the phone to landscape mode, which looks very cool. The accelerometer is also used when playing games, so you can tilt and turn the phone Wii-style to control movement. You can shake and flip the phone at other times to control various functions. It's all great fun, as long as you don't mind being stared at by passers-by.
The Cookie is more compact than most touchphones. And weighing just 89g, it's one of the lightest touchscreen phones ever. But, and this bit is important, LG have cleverly made the phone smaller without reducing the size of the screen. When it comes to touchscreen, size really does matter! A bigger screen makes it easier to use, and the Cookie is definitely an easy phone to use with its 3 inch screen.
So, the ergonomics are good, and the screen is good. What else is good? Well, it has a media player that plays most popular digital music formats. It also has a stereo FM radio. It's got a good web browser. It supports email and has a document viewer installed. Connectivity includes USB and Bluetooth, and the operating frequency is quadband GSM, so you should be able to use the phone anywhere in the world.
Now let's take a look at what's missing.
The camera is not as good as the 5 or 8 megapixel cameras seen in high-end phones. It's limited to 3.2 megapixels, and there's no autofocus but this is reasonable when you consider the price. The memory is also more limited at 48 MB, although you can add a microSD memory card to bring this up to 8GB. It's not 3G and there's no WiFi, so web browsing probably isn't a good option, despite the big screen, which is a shame.
Inevitably there are trade-offs between price and features. We feel that LG have got the balance just right with the Cookie. By removing the features that many people won't miss, and by installing an average camera, they've not only slashed the cost, but have also made the phone more compact and easier to use in many ways. As long as you won't miss high speed web browsing or the camera quality, you can have all the benefits of the latest touchscreen phones for a fraction of the cost.
The Samsung Tocco Lite is an almost exact copy of the Cookie - there's little to choose between the two phones, except that our users seem to feel that the Tocco Lite is a more robust phone - the Cookie seems to annoy a few people with reported software glitches.

Anton Mauve
Dutch, 1838–1888
Holstein Cow, 1850
oil on paper on panel
31.5 x 41.3 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of The Winnipeg Foundation
A leading figure among Hague School painters during the late nineteenth century, Anton Mauve was a prolific painter specializing in animal pictures, often depicted in rural settings. This painting of a Holstein-Friesian cow is typical of the work he produced for eager collectors throughout Europe, featuring farm animals (horses, sheep, and cattle) simply grazing or at rest in the Dutch countryside. Tender and lyrical in spirit, conveying a certain nostalgia for rural life, the painting epitomizes Mauve's work as one of the Dutch Barbizon artists who flourished in the provincial districts of Oosterbeek, Scheveningen, and Laren. Mauve's wife was a cousin to Vincent van Gogh, and when the young artist moved to The Hague to study painting in 1881, he worked in Mauve's studio.

A Roman Catholic priest who was recently excommunicated from the Church visited Rochester on Tuesday. Father Roy Bourgeois was expelled after refusing to recant his support of ordaining women.
After 40 years of serving the Catholic Church, Father Roy Bourgeois, now 73, was dismissed from his religious order last week. Father Bourgeois was excommunicated in 2008 because of his support for women's ordination, but a local viewing of his documentary "Pink Smoke over the Vatican" is continuing the discussion for him.
It's a bold stance.
"When I began to see the Church teaching that excludes women from ordination an injustice," said Father Roy Bourgeois.
The cost of speaking out against Roman Catholic Church teachings became clear to Father Roy Bourgeois last week when he was expelled from his religious order, MaryKnoll Fathers and Brothers.
"It hurts, it's very painful to be kicked out of the priesthood where I found my joy, hope and meaning in life."
Father Bourgeois says it's not complicated: refusing to ordain women is sexist and isn't backed by scripture.
"Who are we as men to say that our call from God is authentic and yours as women is not. What I see here is a grave injustice against women and our loving God."
The Vatican says female ordination goes against God's teachings. In 2008, the Vatican went as far as to call the attempted ordination of women a grave act, in the same category as pedophilia and sexual abuse.
"The Vatican is saying there can't even be discussion on this topic and my answer is we are not children, we are adults."
The argument has grabbed people's attention. Every seat at the Cinema Theatre was filled for Tuesday's showing. The film cited everything from history and archeology to ancient documents, supporting the claim that women have an equal calling to the priesthood.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester declined an interview but gave a statement, saying in part:
"Catholic Church has no authority to confer priestly ordination on women and that this teaching is to be held definitively."
Bourgeois says change can only come through the support of young people and women in the church.
"We have a right and a responsibility as responsible Catholics to express freely our beliefs, they can kick me out of the priesthood but this movement is unstoppable."
The audience left the theater in contemplation, wondering if tradition will stand the test of the time.
A few sisters from local orders told YNN they are in favor of ordaining women, but declined to be interviewed on camera.
A recent New York Times poll found that 59 percent of American Catholics favor the ordination of women.
