I was up late waiting for SNL to start, looking at various blogs to pass time. I scrolled past these images of Isabel Marant's Pre-Fall 2014 collection and quietly (were it not for the sleeping toddler in the next room, it would have been VERY audible) yelled, "These designers are fucking crazy."
From what I can see here, Isabel is trying to sell me the clothes I borrowed from my mother circa 1993 and topping them off with a pair of Stan Smith adidas. Is it just me or does designer clothing look HELLA regular these days? Nothing above gives me the fever. Nothing. I could find all of this in nearly any store almost anywhere.
And you know what really pisses me off? What really makes this silent scream worthy? These outfits are probably $1k or more all in. For a striped shirt, NY&Co trousers and some fucking Stan Smith adidas. A pencil skirt, an oversized coat, and some fucking Stan Smith adidas. COME ON.
I can't take fashun seriously anymore. I can accept when there's an aspirational element driving up the cost, but who is aspiring to look like a Seinfeld extra?
No really. I want answers.
So one night while I was internet browsing while angry (around the same night I bought those dresses I mentioned in the last post), I decided to pull up the shoe section at Nasty Gal because it's always great for a giggle. Anyway, I get to the shoe section and am hit in the face with this
Timberland Tannenbaum boot whose sole was unfortunate enough to fall into a puddle of growth hormone. This is the shoe version of an anime character's face; just disproportionate as all hell.
I'm sure your favorite 90′s NY rapper is somewhere weeping softly because a part of his street cred has been turned into this Spice Girl-esque specimen. I would be too. I blame Stella McCartney and the resurgence in popularity of shoes from 20 years ago for this shit. Some things just shouldn't go together. Like fish and cheese. Or Deion Sanders and a rap career.
All that aside, I think I'm most upset about the name chosen for the boot. Nirvana. Really? In what world does one associate this with a higher plane or Kurt Cobain? I didn't mean to make that rhyme, I swear. Maybe I'm missing something, so I'm turning to you all:
a – These are the only shoes tough enough to wear on the rough way to enlightenment
b – Courtney Love was somewhere being petty as hell
c – The name was drawn from a fishbowl among others like Sriracha, Tampico, and Foxxxxy
d – Choose your own adventure
I used to do these a lot a little while back. More shit-talky here.
Sometimes I can't take fashun seriously. When I realized that "I'm just gonna chill at home" clothing had become street style/fashion week fashionable, I could do nothing more than roll my eyes and wonder how many designers had taken well advantage of the situation by charging upwards of $100 for something that probably cost $2.34 to make.
(the answer is several)
I dig the lazy, comfortable look as much as the next mom/tomboy (momboy? Can we make that a thing? Let's make that a thing), but COME THE FUCK ON.
I balked when I saw this one for $70, but that pales in comparison to the Saint Laurent Paris offering. Can we talk about this $675 SLP sweatshirt for a second? Because I have questions…
Did Hanes go out of business? Are fashion people unaware that this exists for $15 in nearly every Target everywhere? They probably aren't trimmed in grosgrain ribbon, but that looks weird anyway. Is it the V patch in the front? We're paying Louboutin prices for V patches on plain cotton fleece sweatshirts? You can find that at screen printing & embroidery shops. See? NOT $675. Not even $100.
Knowledge is power.
**UPDATE: For a reasonably priced, non Pr0-Club option, check out Everlane's selection**
I think Yoko Ono is either trolling the fashion world or trying to kill me softly with her men's collection for Opening Ceremony. With each successive scroll down the page, item after item after item brings me closer to calling upon Francis Conroy as the Dark Angel to come and collect my soul. Maybe this is her way of spreading holiday cheer to the world by way of WTFs. Maybe.
Each of these items was once a humble 40 year old line drawing that, in decades past, was meant for John Lennon to wear. And since it IS the season of giving (and because I haven't done one of these in a dog's age), I have one question for the group:
What would you be most delighted to serve up under your tree / menorah / kinara / Festivus pole for your favorite man?
A: assless pants
B: mesh shirt with shoulder cutouts + fondle-me flat front trousers
C: light bulb bra
E: jock strap with LED light
Don't be shy, people. I won't tell your love muffins a thing.

FILE PROCESSING SOLUTIONS -- Getting into the FlowSeptember 2002
Internally, the company checks all native application files using Markzware FlightCheck and PDFs are processed through Enfocus PitStop Professional, reports the preflight engineer.
As for the other steps on the way to press-ready files, Beals says the trapping and imposition requirements for the work generally is pretty straightforward and is handled internally. The automated trapping capabilities (FAF) of the shop's Creo Brisque front end is sufficient for the bulk of the work, he notes. Kaye-Smith also has a couple of licenses for the Creo PressTouch standalone, Mac-based trapping solution to tackle more complex trapping requirements.
The company has the Brisque Impose version of the workflow system, so the workstation is able to handle imposition of PostScript files, as well. ScenicSoft Preps is used to impose the bulk of the shop's other work.
There are similarities and differences in how Perry Judd's Inc. structures its prepress operations and manages customer relationships. One of the differences is the extent to which the printer has embraced PDFs. Native application files still account for at least 40 percent of the organization's work, but the percentage of PDFs is now at about that same level, reveals Edward Bacsik, vice president and division manager of its centralized prepress facility in Madison, WI.
Perry Judd's maintains separate workflows rather than converting everything to PDF internally, the prepress exec reports. "The tools we use change with the format. For a native application or PostScript file, we'll use FlightCheck prior to rasterizing. If it's a PDF, we'll use PitStop Professional or PitStop Server to do preflighting," he says.
The printer charges customers for preflighting, Bacsik adds. If there is a problem with a file, then the customer has to fix it and re-submit the file for preflighting—again for a fee, he says. However, pricing incentives are offered to clients submitting PDFs.
"What's nice about PDFs is that they are compressible and travel through the production system more efficiently than a native or PostScript file—once a client knows how to generate them correctly," he continues. "To that end, we have a specification sheet we give out that lists dos and don'ts in Acrobat Distiller. In some situations, we will provide a customer with FlightCheck and set up the proper Ground Controls."
After preflighting, jobs are passed to the prepress operation's Nexus front-end system from Artwork Systems. Any required trapping is done on that system for a fee. "Customers are welcome to take trapping on themselves," Bacsik notes. "The products we print are primarily catalogs and publications, so all that's generally required is setting overprints. We usually only get involved with more complex pages. Nexus provides in-RIP trapping, but we still need to evaluate the page."
The prepress operation has opted to go the third-party route for imposition by integrating ScenicSoft Preps into its workflow. "We got started with Preps probably five years ago, so we have a lot of experience with it," Bacsik says.
A myriad of options are open to other printers in dealing with these issues. Several vendors are offering solutions designed to integrate the print customer directly into the preflight process, as well. With regard to trapping, design and layout applications, some printers have put some level of control in clients' hands, but any tools beyond that level still are being targeted to print professionals. The need to match the press configuration all but ensures imposition will remain in the domain of print providers.
Tools For Customers
Markzware recently announced a new preflighting tool, called HawkEye, which is specifically targeted to creative professionals. It is enabled through plug-ins for most of the popular desktop publishing applications. Pages are evaluated based on preset design specifications. The company also offers the Markznet Web-based preflighting solution as a way to integrate print creators into the process.
Enfocus Software continues to upgrade and enhance its implementation of the Certified PDF workflow. The technology extends preflighting upstream to the creative stage through the Instant PDF application that directs the generation of proper files in Acrobat Distiller. Print providers can supply PDF Profiles to clients to ensure incoming files meet their specifications. For PostScript workflows, Enfocus DoubleCheck includes a client verification module.
Extensis Inc.'s Preflight Online is a Web-based file submission solution that includes a preflight function. Print providers can customize their implementation to match production requirements.
Having been the topics of heated industry debates in the past, trapping and imposition have seemed to slip into anonymity under the workflow umbrella. Print creators and providers have been largely satisfied with the processes and tools they have in place to address the processes. This may help to explain why the recent announcement of Creo's plan to acquire ScenicSoft elicited such strong reactions in some quarters.
Most of the concern centered on the future of Preps, given its broad use and integration into the workflow solutions from many of the vendors that compete with Creo.
Ironically, the announcement brought increased attention to standalone imposition solutions from other vendors. Some Preps users started to research alternatives on the remote chance that any of their worst-case fears—about Creo's plans for the product or other system manufacturers ceasing to integrate the application—were borne out.
Heidelberg continues to offer its standalone Signastation imposition system that it says can produce files ready for output on any standard PostScript RIP. Available in Mac and PC/Windows versions, it imposes PostScript, PDF and Delta Lists data formats. The system also creates a CIP4-PPF file.
Dynagram Software recently introduced version 3.5 of its Dyna-Strip software for Windows 95/NT, which it says offers the same functions and easy user interface as the Macintosh version. The application is offered in four packages tailored for specific market segments. Having acquired the product earlier this year, Dynagram also released version 5.0 of INposition, the XTension for exposing native QuarkXPress files and imported pages.
More Options Available
Ultimate Technographics offers its Impostrip imposition application as a standard client-server version and Solo single-user product. The applications support PostScript, PDF and TIFF pages, and can also generate CIP4-PPF data.
From its U.K. headquarters, Farrukh Systems continues to sell Imposition Publisher in standalone and server versions for the Mac OS, as well as a client-server implementation for Linux. Version 4.2.3 features support for native PDF.
Other commentaries have noted that the Creo/ScenicSoft deal is most likely to have an impact in the trapping arena. As was noted earlier, Creo already offers integrated Full Auto Frames trapping and the standalone PressTouch application. The addition of ScenicSoft's TrapWise product seems to create redundant product lines.
In-RIP trapping has pretty much become standard equipment for workflow systems, but a number of other vendors also offer specialty products.
Lucid Dream Software released I-Trap, a raster-based trapping solution that can be used as an interactive, standalone package or run as an in-RIP option by Harlequin RIP users. The application runs under WindowsNT.
Heidelberg recently launched version 3.0 of its Supertrap trapping solution for Apple Mac OS X. It is said to process native PDFs without converting them into an intermediate format. This plug-in for Acrobat can perform inter-active, object-oriented trapping.
Ultimate Technographics is distinct in the market for targeting some of its trapping applications to the graphic designer. The first example was Trapeze Artist, an interactive, zonal trapping solution. Earlier this year, the company introduced Xtrap for Mac OS X. It is targeted to graphic designers and service provides, with support for EPS, PostScript and PDF files in an automated workflow.

Pacific Harbor Line, Inc., and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen have signed a new five-year labor agreement covering the short line railroad's nearly 120 operating and maintenance of way employees.
The pact, which was ratified and signed by PHL employees on July 4, includes wage increases; employee contribution to health care; and modification of some rules regarding profit sharing, overtime, the selection of job assignments and productivity.
BLET's Division 214 in Long Beach, Calif., has represented PHL's employees since the railroad was formed in 1998. PHL serves customers at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles
"Sometimes the wheels of progress move slowly and it took us a few years to get this agreement right," added Bill Hannah, BLET general chairman. "But in the end, the company made some essential changes and we negotiated the best agreement possible for our membership, which allowed us to achieve ratification."
"This was a win-win agreement reflecting teamwork, persistence and determination by both parties," said Otis Cliatt II, president of PHL, in a written statement.

From an editorial Tuesday in the (Raleigh) News & Observer:
Golf, swimming, walking trails, security and, yes, for your educational pleasure and convenience, a charter school!
Thats pretty close to the description that a Harnett County developer can offer for the Anderson Creek Club, 45 miles south of Raleigh. On completion, the gated community will include more than 4,000 homes priced from $140,000 to $1 million. It sounds like a nice place.
And its likely going to sound nicer to some potential residents with the addition of a charter school in the neighborhood. The plan was to have the school inside the gates, but that made officials edgy, so the proposal was revised to have the elementary school serving about 180 children outside the gates.
The school is part of an expanding number of charter schools, which are funded by taxpayers but can operate outside some rules for conventional schools in terms of curricula. And the schools dont have to provide transportation or subsidized lunches. That has led critics to say charters can exclude lower-income students whether they intend to or not.
In this case, with this school to receive more than $1 million in public money, developers and school supporters promise theyll provide subsidized lunches and work with parents on transportation. And if more families apply than there are seats, a lottery will be held.
All of these accommodations were designed to get the school approved. Other developers will doubtless do the same all over North Carolina.
Thats not the purpose of charter schools. As they were being brought into the public system in the mid-1990s, the idea was that they would be laboratories, experimenting with curricula and teaching methods in ways that perhaps could help conventional schools. Unfortunately, charters now are seen by too many as private schools that get public money.
Theyre not. But more are starting to look that way even if theyre not yet behind private gates.

Peter Zimmerman
Murray 1693 Scholar
Chester Springs, PA (St. Andrew's School, Middletown, DE)
Art History (focus on Modern/Contemporary Art)
Research Interests
Honors thesis, titled, "Body Language: The Presence and Absence of Cindy Sherman and Sherrie Levine, 1975-1987," co-authored with Joan Bowlen '09. The project focused on the ways in which Levine and Sherman, both female postmodern photographers (and in some ways sculptors), took issue with the implicit culturally reproduced and esteemed male gaze. I researched their art from a specific period (1975-1987) by taking both postmodern and feminist methodologies. I spent the summer of 2008 working on this project in New York City -- the place in which Levine and Sherman began exhibiting their photographs. New York was also the central location of a movement within the medium of photography to extend its aims, ideals, and technique through either its rejection of, or revision of, modernism. Through the aid of the Charles Center on campus, I kept a blog of his Honors thesis work. It was the first thesis ever undertaken by two students working together. I was awarded the Senior Art History Prize by the Department of Art and Art History and attended a crash summer course in business and finance at Harvard.
Teaching Opportunity
I was awarded a teaching fellowship through the Andrew Mellon Foundation's grant to the College to help teach a class on Japanese nationalism and pop culture from 1980 to present day. I worked closely with the professor to tailor the syllabus and choose thoughtful readings to help expand the discussion within the classroom. I also met with students outside of class to help create a wiki-based website that each week builds pages on issues pertaining to Japanese nationalism and pop culture. This fellowship gave me experience teaching in the classroom itself, focusing on the history of traditional Japanese art and its influence on the West, especially France, and then tracing that history up to present day with the likes of Murakami and the idea of "Superflat."
Study Abroad
I spent spring of 2007 living and working in Washington, DC, as a part of the semester-long W&M in Washington program. The program, whose theme changes every semester, was focused on Washington, D.C. and its role as an arts sphere for both local and international patrons. I held a full-time internship at the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden of Modern and Contemporary art, working in the Marketing and Communications Department. I got the chance to work closely with two huge exhibition openings, execute a highly important press conference for Yoko Ono's "Imagine Peace" project, and helped build a comprehensive database for outreach within the cities' arts scene.
W&M Activities
- Sang in a cappella group, called the Cleftomaniacs, a co-ed group of 15 members. Acted as Musical Director, with the responsibility of running all rehearsals, conducting songs, arranging music, and making all of the musically relevant decisions for the group. We were the opening act for nationally-renowned folk singer Dar Williams.
- Served on the Lively Arts Series Committee, which chooses a diverse program of arts programs and events in PBK Hall for each school year.
- Student Assembly's undersecretary of Diversity Initiatives for the GLBT community.
Why W&M?
I chose William & Mary because of the incredible opportunities that the Murray Scholarship opened up for me. Not only does the priority registration allow me to take the most interesting classes I can find, I also want to take every course in which I enroll. I've had the chance to work with some of the most awe-inspiring, brilliant, and thought-provoking professors, and I am grateful for this chance. Also, the Murray Scholarship really advocates the importance of engaging in authentic research, something that stimulates me intellectually and emotionally. I feel like the Murray Scholarship has provided me with the best tools to becoming a scholar with many interests over a wide range of subjects. At the same time, the Murray Scholarship has taught me the importance of being able to balance academics, social activities, and extracurriculars. I am devoted to my studies and my projects at the College, but I am surrounded by a very tight-knit group of other scholars whose expertise outside of academics range from banjo playing, singing and world famous brownie making to sports, community service and playing in the College's pep band. I am so inspired by my peers that not only do I feel I have a group with which I see eye-to-eye, but I also feel a kinship to them that I haven't found in any academic setting. The Murray Scholarship has provided me with fifteen great friends whom I can rely on to support me inside and outside of academics. We all feed off of each other's energy, and this pulse has really stimulated me to take advantage of all the opportunities that College and the Murray Scholarship has to offer.
Where am I now?
I am the Head of Publicity for Toolshed Inc., a music marketing firm that represents indie musicians not on major labels, so I interface with the media and audiences to promote albums from a stable of artists, such as Cat Power, MNDR, The Decemberists, Aimee Mann, etc. I also work with the Stanford University admissions department, reading application files. I sing in the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, who's performance of Testimony went viral and can be seen on YouTube.

13 Heartbreaking, Beautiful Photos Of Life As A Child Bride
Fourteen-year-old Krishna and her 16-year-old husband raise their infant son while growing up themselves. (via Reuters).
1. Gopal Kishan (right) and his wife Krishna were married in May 2010. On their wedding day, the newlywed bride was 11; her husband was 13. Photographer Danish Siddiqui documented the ceremony for Reuters.
2. The legal age for marriage in India is 18, but these laws are rarely enforced, especially in rural areas. UNICEF reports that 40% of the world's child marriages occur in India.
3. The young couple live in a small village in the northwestern Indian state of Rajasthan. Siddiqui has visited them every year since their marriage to document the changes in their lives.
4. The now-teenage husband and wife have a 4-month-old son named Alok, which means enlightenment in Hindi.
5. Gopal plays with his child outside the family home.
6. Krishna nearly died in childbirth and had to be hospitalized for days following the delivery. Gopal describes his wife's recovery as "nothing less than a miracle."
7. The village community has welcomed the arrival of a baby and neighbors and nearby family members have helped the young couple since Alok's birth.
8. Krishna, now 14 years old, hoped for a daughter during her pregnancy but told Siddiqui that she is very happy with her son.
9. She spends her days cooking, cleaning, and caring for baby Alok.
10. Her husband works in the soybean fields owned by his family, but irrigation problems have made the ground less fertile in the past few months and there is very little to be done.
11. Out of work, 16-year-old Gopal (right) has started drinking heavily. He told Siddiqui that for his family's survival, he needs to leave the village and find work in the city.
12. Krishna breaks down after her husband returns home drunk. She fears Gopal will accidentally hurt his young son while intoxicated.
13. "As I left the small village," Siddiqui wrote, "the only thing which bothered me was the future of four-month-old Alok. Would he go down the same route his parents took or would he bend societal norms to carve a separate path for himself."

Question about Minnesota schools
- 0Sep 8, '08 by coffeedreamDid people usually apply to several nursing programs or one school? Do other schools care if you apply to several? I am taking pre-nursing classes as MCTC, but since it may be hard to get in the program I may apply to other schools.
Also, if anyone did the MCTC nursing pathway program, what did you think of it?
- 0Sep 9, '08 by bikelolaHello!
I would definitely apply to as many as you can...and as many as you can keep track of! I applied to two programs at St. Kate's and to MCTC. I considered applying to other community colleges, as well as programs outside of the metro, but decided to leave that as a last resort. Programs have gotten so incredibly competitive; I imagine that your chances of getting accepted will be greater if you apply to as many schools as possible.
Hope that helps!
- 0Sep 9, '08 by tdrynelle, BSN, RNI only applied to one (which was a post-bac BSN program), because it was the only one I really wanted (luckily, I got in). I had a friend who applied to both the post-bac BSN program (which she really wanted) and an ADN program (as a backup, just in case). Luckily, she got accepted by both.
I think the general thought is apply to all you qualify for. When you get the acceptance letter from the school, they usually give you a week or two to accept or decline their offer so at that point you can pick which one you want the most.
- 0Sep 10, '08 by tdrynelle, BSN, RNI'm in Metro State's post-bac BSN program. However, we're the last class for this program. Sadly, they are converting it to an MSN program.
- 0Sep 10, '08 by coffeedreamThanks everyone. I will apply to many when the time is right.
- 0Sep 10, '08 by tdrynelle, BSN, RNBest of luck!
- 0Sep 11, '08 by Cari001Quote from casiI applied to the U of MN and Century College. Thankfully I got into one. If I hadn't gotten into one my plans were to take another year worth of pre-reqs and apply to even more programs.
Hi Casi!: Do you happen to know how competative Century College is and if they have a long waiting list? Thanks a lot for any information.

FFL: Chat Wrap

Tristan H. Cockcroft: Good morning everyone! Let's get right to your questions... Marcus, Tulsa: Palmer OR Kitna this week....Kitna is reeeaaally tempting! Tristan H. Cockcroft: Tempting or not, and Carson Palmer facing the Ravens or not, I'm not going to make that kind of switch. Palmer has a great history against the Ravens, remember, and he has looked just fine in recent weeks. I can't use him ahead of a Jon Kitna who has been a bit shaky at times this year.

US History students should complete their work for Mr. Rhodus's American Lit class and be ready for class on the first day of school. I recommend that you begin placing your notes and ideas about Huckleberry Finn and The Scarlet Letter on your blogs from sophomore English. We will continue to use these throughout the US history class and discuss the correlation of these books to US History.
Freshmen Government and Economics students should also be ready for class on the first day of school. Look below for a list of required items for all of my classes. Lord of the Flies will be discussed during out class and the ideas of free will and the social contract.

Items for Class
Book Review: Science Fiction : A Historic Anthology
Science Fiction: A Historical Anthology by Eric S. Rabkin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
By far, the best collection on the market before the millennials appeared on the shelves. If you are looking for a good starter reader begin here and then move into either Bradbury, Heinlein, or Asimov next. They are all in the anthology with good core example pieces to read. This was the core text of my SciFi lit class at Marshall. Really opened me view up beyond the 1990s pulp SciFi that I had been reading.
SciFi should be read for both its short stories and novels. Too many people today get caught in the prolonged epics generated by publishing houses and miss all of the great works being published in the magazines of the day.

Book Review: The Hobbit
The Hobbit: Or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I first read this novel in March of 1991. I had to do a book report about a novel I had never read. On a whim, I asked the Librarian, at the County Branch near our house, what was good and she asked me what I liked. I responded with, "Dinosaurs and Dragons." It was a forgone conclusion. I consumed this book repeatedly, reading it through at least half a dozen times in the ten years following. However, I have not read any of the LOTR cycle since the first movie was shown. Twenty years later, The Hobbit is still one of my favorites and I plan to share it with my daughter for the first time very soon. Hence, I am beginning to look for a new copy that I can read and give to her one day.
This is what I know and why I will buy this addition. Anyone looking to read Tolkien should purchase the Ring books and/or Middle Earth writings in individual trade paperback or hardback form, if at all possible. The Omnibus editions, produced during the movie PR blitz of the LOTR, are so large that the binding does not hold up well over time or multiple readings. Additionally, the dust jackets and book cover illustrations of the larger editions look wonderful on the shelf.
I first purchased copies a mass market paperback anniversary edition box set in 1994. I have never been happy with it. Even though the box looks nice, the font size is small and difficult for lengthy reads. In addition, it is missing some of the illustrations that are found in the larger print copies. What copies of the trade paperbacks and hardback editions I have collected have all been used. I truly enjoy reading an older personally annotated copy. Its like reading the book with an unknown friend.
