Luxury jewelry and giftware stores are waking up. They have been as traditionally stuffy as banks in their design, but their globe-trotting clientele is demanding an upgrade. Bored out of their minds, they want an edge, a spark, a something, to break up the monotony and to add some interest.
We've featured a few, including Octium in Kuwait,- Podium Paris and Solange Azagury-Partridge London and here is another to add to that list: The two-level Faraone jewelery boutique in Milan, on Via Montenapoleone, envisioned by architect Massimo Iosa Ghini. whose retail design work includes showrooms for Maserati and Ferrari.
At Faraone, his subdued, metallic setting for the items on display symbolizes the precious-metal setting of a ring or pendant that sets out the stones, engraving and minute details.
There is also a cool, retro factor, reminiscent of the mysterious estate jewelry areas in luxury department stores of the past. The soft nappa leather chairs and the tone-on-tone carpeting add to the feel of being inside a jewelry box. - Tuija Seipell.
Kirk Originals eyewear company opened its London flagship store on Conduit Street in the West End this week with a swanky launch party.
London-based Campaign designed the pared-down, dramatic retail environment of the 66 square-meter boutique.
The black-and-white color palette, only one eyewear wall with 187 "heads" for frames, and practically no furnishings ensure that customers will focus on the eyewear, not the trappings. Eye examinations and fitting take place in the basement, away from the main display space. Large graphics of winking eyes in the window speak the same, clear language leaving no doubt about what they sell.
Established more than two decades ago, Kirk Originals is still run by Jason and Karen Kirk from their home near Bordeaux, France. Kirk Originals are available in more than 40 countries. - Tuija Seipell
The Moscow-based Podium Fashion Groupl is involved in numerous fashion ventures, but what caught our eye is the Podium 1 jewelry store in Paris (at 334, rue St.-Honore, Paris 1er, right across from Colette). The tiny shop (50 square metres) oozes glamour and old money, patina and luxury.
The rich feel is created through textured wallpaper, dark antique or aged wood furnishings, curved vitrines, thick-glass cabinets with hand-tooled iron pulls, plus a massive armoire standing on curled legs and sporting Gothic arches. The slightly mad and eccentric, yet visually cohesive neogothic interior and furnishings are by Moscow-based Artbureau I/1 ("one over one") whose eight principals create both private and commercial interiors and architecture.
Podium's Paris store is a space for one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted pieces created with rare or antique techniques by jewelry names such as Loree Rodkin whose pieces recently adorned Michelle Obama at the inauguration ball and Cher on the cover of Architectural Digest. Tuija Seipell
Paris has now joined Beijing, Beirut, Buenos Aires, Doha, Dubai, Florence, Geneva, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Macao, Madrid, Moscow, New York, Portofino, Riyadh, Shanghai and Tokyo as a location of an Officine Panerai watch boutique.
The Parisian shop opened in September in the 1st arrondissement on Rue de la Paix's jewelery row, between Place Vendôme and Opéra Garnier.
The Italian company was founded in Florence in 1860 by Giovanni Panerai. It became the official supplier of the Italian Navy and continued to build various precision instruments for the army's diving corps. Panerai remained relatively unknown in the civilian world until its bulky watches were brought to popular attention by Sylvester Stallone who wore a Panerai Luminor watch during the shooting of the movie Daylight in Rome. Stallone then ordered and signed a special batch of the watches called Slytech. He gave them to his friends, including Arnold Schwarzenegger. Stallone has since worn many Panerais, including the largest Panerai wrist watch, the limited-edition Panerai Egiziano, with a face that is 60mm in diameter.
The interior of the 41 square-meter Parisian boutique echoes Panerai's naval traditions by emphasizing precision and quality, and featuring such materials as teak and steel. - Bill Tikos
British jewelry designer Solange Azagury-Partridge's London flagship store is now open on the luxe Bond Street. In her typical fashion, Azagury-Partridge has handled the interior and furnishing design herself.
The store has the same luscious, red-velvet jewelry box feel as her first store that opened in 1995 in Notting Hill (and moved to Westbourne Grove in 2005). The most fantastic feature of the new store is the carpet. It stands out in Azagury-Partridge's signature style – it is almost too much, but not quite. It brings a smile to your face, makes you look again. That's the "rock-star" quality that everyone mentions about her work.
The first floor of the two-storey boutique offers an impressive meeting of theatrical and whimsical. Absolutely everything has been choreographed and specially made for the space. Downstairs is a private-member-style, discreet enclave of hidden doors, alcoves and padded walls. The ceiling is adorned with 600,000 Swarovski crystals.
When Azagury-Partridge launched her own jewelry line in 1990, she was completely self-taught. The first piece she had ever designed was her own engagement ring only three years earlier. She has been quoted as saying that "The advantages of being self-taught are that I have no preconceptions or received opinions about the rules of jewellery. Being an outsider is my raison d'être." - Tuija Seipell
Sports brands, even those that are not official sponsors of the World Cup soccer tournament, are taking full advantage of the global celebrations and fan enthusiasm. In New York City, Nike is making full creative use of its Nike Stadium NYC, a multi-purpose experiential environment opened at the Browery Stadium in May and designed by New York and London-based architectural firm Rafael de Cárdenas.
In Nike Stadium NYC, Cárdenas has created a soccer-inspired space that feels right in the New York environment — not glossy or overly sleek, but somewhat lived-in, hard-edged and willing to take some wear and tear. Triangular wooden blocks allow for instant creative modification of the space, as users can stack them, sit on them or create their own seating areas.
At Nike Stadium NYC, various soccer-related programs and performances in architecture, design and art are taking place all summer and into the fall. These include film screenings, match viewings and other events, all focused on exploring creative expression of soccer.
Nike Stadiums are the brand's multi-purpose event spaces that have so far opened in Berlin, London, Milan, New York, Paris and Tokyo.
Nike Stadiums continue to reinforce Nike's reputation as a creative supporter of soccer — something that their 2007 Cannes Lion-winning Stadium shoe box represented well. A limited number of shoe boxes were transformed to resemble a stadium with an image of a stadium and an embedded sound chip. When you opened your shoe box, you saw a miniature stadium and heard the crowd cheering, and you could imagine yourself inside a stadium cheering along or, better yet, playing on the field wearing your new Nikes. - Tuija Seipell
The first OHWOW Book Club has opened its doors in a tiny 150 square-foot space in New York's Greenwich Village. The retail space is located below street level in a historic brownstone on Waverly Place.
The black-and-white tiled floor and the turquoise walls create a decidedly aquatic mood although the designer, Rafael de Cárdenas, was thinking less of marine habitats and more of a classic pre-war NYC water closet when he themed the space.
Experience designer/architect Rafael de Cárdenas of Architecture At Large is a master of creating moods. In OHWOW Book Club, he has explored not only the sensations of disorientation and floating through neon lighting and random wall color patterns and placement of shelves, but also the feel of direction through the Navajo carpet-like tile pattern of the floor.
All of these themes are evident also in OHWOW's Miami exhibition space at NW 7 Avenue, that de Cárdenas designed in 2008 and to which the Miami Art Basel crowd took right away.
OHWOW (Our House West of Wynwood) is a collaborative creative enterprise conceived by New York's event impresario Aaron Bondaroff and Miami art and publishing powerhouse Al Moran. - Tuija Seipell
We are seeing more and more stores and services dedicated solely to the fine things in life for men. Salons, shops and spas are realizing that men have been treated like second-class citizens when it comes to luxurious, beautiful retail environments.
There are millions of sports bars, car dealerships, gyms and hardware stores, but that is definitely not all that men need and want. At New York Fashion Week, British luxury men's brand Alfred Dunhill showcased its Winter 2010 collection in a vacant Meatpacking District warehouse transformed into a pop-up shop.
With aluminum panels and projection technology, London-based design workshop Campaign created an environment that brought a little bit of Dunhill's London flagship store to New York.
Alfred Dunhill, who joined his father's saddlery business in 1887, and planned to change the company's focus toward the pioneering motorist, said it very well: "It is not enough to expect a man to pay for the best, you must also give him what he has paid for..." We think men are ready to pay for the best -- and "the best" includes the environment in which he spends his money. - Tuija Seipell
As we have seen in various posts here on The Cool Hunter, footwear has become a genre of art all of its own.
Much like how the simple need for shelter has crescendoed into superfluous McMansions, the shoe started out as a humble necessity: to keep the toes out of harm's way. Currently - as anyone who's purchased a pair of platform sneakers or sky-high stilettos can attest - a need for beauty and style has far overshadowed the trivial want for comfort.
Oscar Wilde once professed, "One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art". The financially fortunate seem to agree, with well-manicured feet peeking from artistic footwear worth their weight in rubies and diamonds. Cobbler extraordinaire Stuart Weitzman took this tendency to an unprecedented pinnacle with the unveiling of his "Cinderella Slippers" which were worn by singer Alison Krauss at the 2004 Oscars ceremony and priced at $2M.
Thankfully, enjoying the art of footwear is not limited to those of stratospheric bank accounts. The need for fashionable shoe has crossed all social boundaries. From retro-style sneakers to high-end designer fashion heels, shoes are a major part of the international fashion market, and shoe sales are a serious indicator of status and sub-culture.
Naturally, the shoe store has evolved, side-by-side, into an equally stylish hub of modern fashion. No matter if you're talking about a pair Jimmy Choo wedges (a must on the streets of Manhattan) or a rare collectable pair of original 1972 Adidas sneakers — there is a carefully manicured storeroom and market-analyzed price tag for each.
So what's your favorite shoe store?
We want to see stores that feature the most original display and merchandising techniques out there.
From sneaker shops to high-end department stores to exclusive boutiques, if you know of a great candidate then send us an e-mail.
A fantastic array of imaginary projects keeps materializing from the hands and mind of the talented Jaime Hayón. The Madrid, Spain-born designer's work covers practical — and impractical — objects, sets, stores, art and graphics. In addition to retail and restaurant environments, he has created furniture for Pallucco, shoes and sets for Camper, designer toys, various kinds of art, and exhibitions including "Mediterranean Digital Baroque" at London's David Gill Gallery, and "Mon Cirque," presented in Frankfurt, Barcelona, Paris and Kuala Lumpur.
Recently, Hayón applied his sense of drama and his talent for combining unexpected materials and elements in a new jewelry concept boutique for Octium Jewelry in the luxury 360º mall in Kuwait.
A retro film-star sensibility joins a more ornate and traditional luxury vibe in the Octium boutique, for which nearly everything was custom-designed — from the furnishings, textiles and display elements to the lighting fixtures and wall treatments. And although within this fantasy world, each selection of jewelry has its own unique display environment, the overall atmosphere manages to seem calm and the look harmonious. The jewelry on display includes the Octium Collection, exclusive pieces, as well as selections from Hanna Martin, Ivanka Trump and Pipa Small and others. - Tuija Seipell

It appears that Ted might not be the only foul-mouthed teddy bear on the planet.
In a new lawsuit, Bengal Mangle Productions claims that Seth MacFarlane stole the idea behind Ted. The Hollywood Reporter got a copy of the complaint, which also names Fuzzy Door Productions, Media Rights Capital, and Universal Studios, and says the character of Ted was taken from a screenplay titled Acting School Academy, which came out in 2008 and featured another foul-mouthed teddy bear named Charlie. In the screenplay, Charlie lives in an adult world with his human friends and "has a penchant for drinking, smoking, prostitutes." READ FULL STORY

1. How do eggplants pollinate? I see a bud, just curious if its somethign I will need to help along.
2. Something has been eating the crap ot of the leaves since the day I transplanted it although I NEVER see any bugs on the plant. I caught a caterpillar red handed munching my radishes to death (I let him, he was cute) but I want my eggplants!!! I tried a soap and water spray (castille soap) and it did nothing. Infact, the very next day I notice 2 leaves ona squash plant were almost entirely eaten and that plant had zero insect damage prior to that. I think all it did was made the bugs mad.... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Most common pests of eggplant in my experience: 1. Potato beetles -- that could be PB damage. Look for the larva in particular. They are very satisfying to squish. Gotta figure out what's doing the damage before you treat. Look especially early in the morning and/or at dusk. That's the best time to find PB larva and slugs. |

10 Ways to Save Money on Your Insurance Program
By: Kenneth C. Hegel, Jr.
Posted: June 23, 2008, from the April 2006 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 3
By reviewing your insurance program periodically, you will be able to better ascertain whether or not you are carrying too much coverage for your needs. Have your inventory levels dropped in the past few months? Are they higher at certain points of the year than others? If you answered yes to one or both of these questions, then maybe you should consider adding a peak-season endorsement onto your current property insurance policy. This will increase your coverage during a specified period of time when you are carrying greater inventory values. It will help to keep costs down because you only will be paying premiums during these time frames.
Implement loss-control practices
The implementation of good loss-control procedures can help to decrease both the frequency and severity of potential claims, thus keeping insurance premiums down. An example of this type of precautionary measure includes installing video surveillance in your storage area to help prevent employees from pilfering or stealing. This will result in what is considered by insurance companies to be favorable loss experience, which can have a huge impact on your premiums.
Offer a training program for new employees
An employer can help to minimize the potential chances of a claim being filed by properly training team members in the workplace. For instance, educating employees about a particular piece of equipment will ensure that they will be aware of the proper safety procedures that must be followed in order to prevent the possibility of an injury.
Request certificates of insurance from all independent contractors
Obtaining certificates of insurance from all independent contractors working in your spa—especially those who are being paid on a 1099 form—can help keep insurance costs down. Most professional liability policies are rated on the number of operators who are performing professional services. Why should you pay an insurance premium on someone who is being paid as an owner/operator? In essence, they are in business for themselves, and they should carry the necessary coverage to operate their business.
Practice good housekeeping
Keeping your workplace tidy can and will prevent claims, such as falls. Fewer claims can mean cheaper premiums in the long run. This is the recommendation that is the easiest to accommodate and should be practiced by all spa owners.

Working Group on Ageing
Welcome to the Home page of the Working Group on Ageing
The world population is passing through a demographic transition. Ageing is going to be the distinctive trait of this century, with the share of older individuals in the population ever increasing. While ageing represents a triumph of medical, social and economic advances, it also presents challenges to existing systems of social support and affects virtually all domains of society. Member countries of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) gave new momentum to the implementation of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing and its Regional Implementation Strategy by joining forces in the Working Group on Ageing.

Unmet sales projections were the primary reason for the sudden closure of the Lowe's store here and in six other locations around the United States.
"The seven stores missed sales estimates from the outset," Public Relations Manager Stacey Lentz said Monday afternoon from corporate headquarters in Mooresville, N.C.
"They didn't improve over time. We didn't see a scenario that led to profitability for the store."
Workers at the Ti Lowe's and six other home-and-building-supply-store locations were given less than 24 hours' notice.
"Once we closed last night," Lentz said, "we had an all-store meeting to inform employees the store would close on Monday morning."
Calls placed to the Ticonderoga location on Wicker Street were answered Monday by a machine with a message that says: "We're sorry, but this location is permanently closed. Please visit our location in Glens Falls."
Lowe's in Ticonderoga had 86 employees — 58 were full time and 28 part time, Lentz said.
They will continue to receive pay and benefits for 90 days, she added.
"We are not relocating them ourselves, but they do have the opportunity to apply for openings at any of our other stores."
The Ticonderoga store had been open here for less than 2½ years.
Lentz could not comment on what the closures mean for overall corporate profitability.
But she did compliment the workforce.
"These employees were very committed to their store and to customer service."
By 8 a.m. Monday, the Ticonderoga store listing had been removed from the Lowe's nationwide site map on its Web page.
The sign — which won Adirondack Park regulatory exemption in a hard-fought effort several years ago — was gone.
The 102,000-square-foot retail operation opened Feb. 27, 2009, at a reported cost of $12 million after several years of planning and zoning discussions that ultimately situated the store on the outskirts of Ticonderoga's former village boundaries.
Town Supervisor Debra Malaney said she started receiving calls about the home-building-supply giant's withdrawal at about 10 p.m. Sunday.
"Nothing was said beforehand to anyone," she told the Press-Republican after the Essex County personnel meeting on Monday.
It is an economic-impact shock to everyone in surrounding towns, she said.
"I have no concrete answers as to why they closed the store, only speculation that closure of the (Champlain) bridge and the pressure of the current economy might have had some impact on the decision."
Malaney said she planned to contact lawmakers in Albany to see if there is any redress.
She also intended to call Lowe's corporate officials to ask if they have experienced fiscal issues that go beyond the economy and the Champlain Bridge closure.
The town worked hard for several years to secure a site for Lowe's near other retail giants, including Walmart and a McDonald's restaurant.
"Lowe's was under a 485B payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) program that offered reduced taxes for 10 years," Malaney said.
"But the PILOT is only good for an operational business."
Lowe's spokeswoman said the site is leased.
"We will begin to work now to help find a tenant for the site," Lentz said.
But a 102,000-square-foot retail building is a large footprint, Malaney said.
Industrial Development Agency Co-Director Jody Olcott said county business developers had no prior warning that Lowe's had any intentions of leaving Essex County.
Olcott shopped at the home-supply store on Sunday and said the shelves were fully stocked and business seemed routine.
Essex County supervisors agreed that the business decision does not bode well for the region.
"This is a huge blow to not only the Ticonderoga economy but to surrounding towns, as well," Malaney said at the Board of Supervisors' Finance Committee meeting Monday.
"This is going to be devastating to the southern part of the county," Thomas Scozzafava (R-Moriah) said.
Cathy Moses (R-Schroon) said 17 supervisors there agreed with Malaney.
"We're all extremely disappointed."
Lowe's maintains store operations in Glens Falls, nearly 90 miles to the south, and in Plattsburgh, about 60 miles north of Ticonderoga.
Other Lowe's stores closed in Elgin and Schaumburgh, Ill.; Meriden, Conn.; Kenai, Alaska; Riverdale, Ga.; and Cambridge, Minn.

At 2am one auspicious night in 2012, Prague police were horrified to discover that a shady-looking group of Americans had set up some sort of advanced laser weapon on the Charles Bridge, one of the oldest such structures in Europe. "Yeah we were on the Charles Bridge, which I guess is one of their big monuments, with this huge piece of technology," recalls Forza Motorsport 5's content art director Matt Collins. "And we start scanning the bridge and some cops came running up. So we had a couple of our guys detain them while we finished up the scan."
He neglects to explain how exactly his colleagues went about "detaining" the fuzz (we envisage a knee slide followed by a roundhouse kick, but this may be a flight of fancy). "This whole scan was a stealth operation. We told them that we were scanning but - I don't remember what we told them. 'This has absolutely nothing to do with anything nefarious'. They were surprisingly lackadaisical," Collins continues, breezily. "They were like 'oh, okay I guess this is fine.'"
It's possible the enforcers were mollified by talk of Forza Motorsport 5's unheard-of degree of track fidelity, which extends right down to the sight of moss and grass between individual pavement stones. Look up - generally a good idea, when steering a McLaren F1 capable of 231 mph - and you'll see believably animate, fully 3D-rendered crowds, distant yet ultra-detailed monuments ("in the past, this would have been a matte painting") and gorgeous atmospheric effects such as river fog.
It all starts with the tarmac, of course. "We brought a laser scanner to the track and basically scanned every square inch of it actually," Collins explains. "We scanned the entire track and it goes down to sub-6mm accuracy, so it picks up little divots in the road surface, it picks up all sorts of details." This sort of faithfulness applies to both the new tracks and those brought back from older Forzas, such as the Nürburgring. "We do this for all tracks in the game. Even the ones we've shipped before we've gone back and rescanned and updated."
As with the game's impossibly opulent cars, tracks will show the effects of extended punishment - though the ramifications obviously aren't as drastic as they are in, say, an arcade racer like Split/Second. "There's this idea that we're having the 23rd hour of the 24 hour Le Mans - every track really feels like it's really been raced on, it's telling a story as you go round it. So if you've seen the end of those races, there's rubber, there's marbles, it just feels like it's been through a war and we really want to sell that." You'll be able to tell which corners other racers have found particularly troublesome by looking for those desperate streaks of rubber.
Turn 10 chose Prague for Forza 5's debut because the trackside environment is so varied, a challenge worthy of a next generation console. "It gives us an opportunity to showcase so many different things," content director John Wendl chimes in. "Everything from long draw distance to the atmosphere, because it's on the water, to tree canopies like this, to the incredible high-frequency detail of the old buildings and churches and things like that."

One Direction score USA No 1
Album debuts at the top of the US charts
Wed 21 Mar 2012
One Direction have debuted at No 1 in the USA
The boys have made history becoming the first ever British group to go straight in at No 1 with their debut album.
Up All Night only reached number 2 when it was released here in the UK last year, but the boys have done one better in the States and are currently top of the Billboard Hot 200 chart.
Harry Styles said: "We simply cannot believe that we are number one in America. We want to thank
each and every one of our fans in the US who bought our album and we would also
like to thank the American public for being so supportive of us."
In just over 12 months, One Direction have notched up over 204 million YouTube views, 12 million followers on Twitter and over 3.6 million followers on Facebook. Wow, that's a lot of One Direction love.
One Direction's 2013 UK and Ireland tour sold out immediately, with an estimated 300,000 tickets purchased, while their Australia and New Zealand tour sold out in just three minutes.
The group have recently been touring America with Big Time Rush and it was announced yesterday that they will soon star in their own US TV show.
Check out the video below and see just how loyal and dedicated the 1D USA fans are. They scream, they cry, they melt... and they seem to love the boys just as much as we do.

Richmond 2015 unveils courses
2/25/2014, 3:26 p.m.
The United States will serve as the host country for the first time since 1986, when Colorado Springs, Colo., staged the event.
"I can't overstate the importance of this event to the future of American cycling," said Steve Johnson, president and CEO of USA Cycling. "Cycling, both as a sport and recreation, has grown tremendously in the U.S. during the past decade. The hosting of this event in Richmond is validation of that growth. Our riders are excited for the opportunity to welcome the world's best cyclists to the United States."
Four courses comprise the UCI Road World Championships (visit www.richmond2015/courses for maps and complete schedule):
Team Time Trial – Men's and Women's (Sunday, Sept. 20, 2015) – Teams depart Rocketts Landing in Henrico County, where Christopher Newport explored the James River in 1607, and head east on Route 5 before winding through Richmond National Battlefield Park, a historic Civil War site. The race enters the City of Richmond in Shockoe Bottom and finishes with a 350-meter-long climb of Governor Street next to the Virginia State Capital and dash down Broad Street to the Convention Center.
Individual Time Trial Circuit – Junior Men and U23 (Monday, Sept. 21, 2015); Junior Women and Elite Women (Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2015) – Racers depart the Convention Center and head to Monument Avenue, a historic boulevard named one of the "10 great streets in the U.S." by the American Planning Association. A 180-degree turn at the Jefferson Davis monument returns riders toward downtown, where they will speed through Virginia Commonwealth University and cross the James River before finishing with the climb of Governor Street and dash down Broad Street.
Elite Men's Individual Time Trial – 33 miles (Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2015) – Racers begin their "Race of Truth" in Hanover County at Kings Dominion, Virginia's premier amusement park, and move past Meadow Event Park, birthplace of thoroughbred racing legend Secretariat. Riders will pass the Hanover Courthouse, the third oldest courthouse still in use in the United States, en route to the City of Richmond via Chamberlayne Road and pass through Virginia Union University before finishing with the climb of Governor Street and dash down Broad Street.
Road Circuit – Junior Women and U23 Men (Friday, Sept. 25, 2015); Junior Men and Elite Women (Saturday, Sept. 26, 2015); Elite Men (Sunday, Sept. 27, 2015) – Riders start a challenging, technical and inner-city circuit at the Convention Center and head to Monument Avenue, ultimately turning around at the Jefferson Davis Monument and heading through Virginia Commonwealth University. At the circuit midpoint, racers will maneuver the cobblestone streets of Shockoe Slip and follow the canal to Great Shiplock Park, the start of the Virginia Capital Trail, a 50-mile pedestrian trail to Williamsburg to be completed by September 2015. From Rocketts Landing, riders face a twisty, cobbled 250-meter climb up Libby Hill, a view that influenced William Byrd II to name the city Richmond based on similarities to Richmond upon Thames. Another 110-meter climb of 23rd Street awaits before the racers speed through Shockoe Bottom and finish with a climb of Governor Street and dash down Broad Street.
"Today's announcement of the courses signify an important milestone: Our vision for cycling's premier event is being realized," said Miller, of Richmond 2015. "We think the courses will have touches that resonate with cyclists from around the world, from Belgian climbs to the cobblestones in of Northern Europe."
Beginning next week, Richmond 2015 will launch a series of "Prologue" events around the region to engage neighborhoods and communities about the details of both Championship events. The Prologue events are intended to inform, engage and excite cycling enthusiasts in these communities so they can effectively plan any necessary transportation alternatives during the event and how to maximize the events' proximity, by planning viewing events and parties along the courses.

Having recently seen movies like Syriana and The Good Shepherd I've been particularly fired up about writing genuine, realistic dialogue. Whenever I try to mimic those movies' dialogue (Ocean's 11, 12, and 13, too), it seems like the characters' speech is just too cool to be true. Does anyone have any suggestions or book recommendations for how to write good dialogue?

As your healthcare career develops, you will have the opportunity to move into different areas and responsibilities. A growing area is clinical research where funded training towards recognised qualifications is available.
Check out our video about clinical academic careers, which shows real healthcare professionals talking about their clinical research work.
A full transcript of the video can be viewed here.
Healthcare professionals across the country deliver the best possible care. Critical to this, is having the best evidence available to inform clinical decisions and these are often based on results from a range of research studies.
Academic research is a fast-growing career pathway for healthcare professionals, and is supported by government funding. The training undertaken leads to qualifications such as Masters degrees and PHDs. The research projects done as part of your training will also help your patients and those across the country every day by improving the care delivered. The results of your research may also be used for educational purposes e.g. training new healthcare professionals.
There are a number of funded research programmes available within the NHS. These programmes tend to follow a structured pathway, which includes the following levels:
There may also be some additional support opportunities for trainees in the Mentorship programme.
Potentially, you can start your academic research training (i.e. Masters degree) directly after registration. However, it is more likely that this will happen after some experience in clinical work. There are also new opportunities to undertake internships that help prepare you for working in a research environment.
As well as a national training programme, run by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), you may also find opportunities locally. These schemes are usually run in partnership between employers and local universities.
For more information about the different research programmes available, visit the NIHR website.

Some people combine prayers on account of adverse weather conditions, even when it is not raining at that precise time. Are they correct in doing so?
Last Modified: 27 Aug 2011 02:08 GMT
We know that the Prophet (peace be upon him), when combining and shortening the prayers during travel, did not seperate them with voluntary prayers. However, inthe cases where he combined between prayers as a resident, did he offer Sunnah prayers between them? Is it permissible to offer Sunnah prayers between prayers that one combines?
Last Modified: 27 Aug 2011 02:07 GMT
I was a traveler, and I passed through a town on Friday. At the time of Jumu`ah, I stayed in my hotel room and offered the Zuhr prayer as two units and immediately thereafter offered the `Asr prayer as two units, sice I was combining the two prayers as a traveler? Was I correct in doing so? If I had offered the Jumu`ah prayer in the mosque, could I have offerd the `Asr prayer immediately thereafter in combination with it?
Last Modified: 27 Aug 2011 02:06 GMT
I follow the opinion of Ibn Taymiyah and others – that travel is best defined by prevailing customs and not by a specific distance. However, I read in a lot of places that scholars say that a journey must be at least 80 km one-way for a person to shorten his prayers. How do they come up with this number?
Last Modified: 27 Aug 2011 02:05 GMT
Someone has to go somewhere where he knows he won't be able to pray, so he says his `Asr prayer in advance with Zuhr. After he has prayed, his programme gets canceled and he doesn't have to go anywhere any more. Will he have to say his `Asr prayer again in its appointed timeight time, or will the previous observance of his `Asr prayer be enough?
Last Modified: 27 Aug 2011 02:04 GMT
Are there any differences in the way we perform audible prayers and silent prayers besides, of course, the difference in recitation?

Is it obligatory to say "al-Salâh khayr min al-nawm" in the morning adhân?
Last Modified: 25 Aug 2011 05:46 GMT
Why do people call the adhân for the Fajr prayer twice?
Last Modified: 25 Aug 2011 05:45 GMT
How come they call two adhâns for the Jumu`ah prayer when at the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) they called only one? This is attested to by the Sunnah.
Last Modified: 25 Aug 2011 05:44 GMT
What is the ruling on modulating and elongating the vowels when calling the adhân? I was born and brought up in Saudi Arabia and was taught to call the adhân in this way - the same way that is practiced in Mecca. I know that it is preferred for the mu'adhdhin to have a pleasant and loud voice. However, when I called the adhân at my college here in the UK, one of the brothers mentioned a hadîth where someone said to Ibn `Umar: "I love you for the sake of Allah" whereupon Ibn `Umar replied ...

Does the mu'adhdhin also have to call the iqamah, or does he simply have the greatest right to be the one to call it? This has become a problematic issue at our mosque, where the mu'adhdhin gets upset if someone else calls the iqamah (which sometimes happens when the mu'adhdhdin has to attend to some other issue when the prayer is about to begin). He is under the impression that calling the iqamah is one of his rights.

Is it possible for someone to invalidate the salat of another person? For example, can the imam invalidate the prayers of everyone else without them knowing?
Last Modified: 06 Jul 2011 02:10 GMT
In the sajdah we have to keep our hand away hands away from our body for it is sunnah of the Prophet Alais-Salaam, but during the congregation we have to stand shoulder to shoulder and foot to foot, when we stand such, we are not able to keep our hands away from our body, so shaykh is it permissible to not keep our hands away when in congregation?
Last Modified: 04 Jul 2011 02:10 GMT
Some people told me that the prayer of the one who prays behind an imam is dependent upon the prayer of the imam, i.e., so long as the imam does not make a mistake in his prayer, the prayer of the one who is praying behind him is valid, because it is dependent on it, whether the one who is praying behind him makes a mistake or not. Is this ruling correct, and what is the evidence for that? Does this mean that what invalidates the prayer when it is offered in congregation is different from when o ...

Some people fiddle with their clothes, clean their nails or look at their watches etc whilst praying, especially when the imam is reciting. This often provokes feelings of annoyance among the worshippers standing next to them. What is the ruling on that?

Course: Bordeaux
ST.-JULIEN With about 2,300 acres under vine, St.-Julien is the smallest of the Haut-Médoc's top communes. But of the Haut-Médoc's top communes, St.-Julien has the largest proportion of its area under vine. By the river, the soil is well-drained, pebbly gravel with clay and limestone. Farther inland, there's more sand and clay. That said, the soils are quite uniform--and uniformly good--which helps explain why the commune has so many classed growths. Only red wines may use the St.-Julien appellation. White wines may use the Bordeaux appellation. The reds are usually... |

Regulation Action Plan: Protect Your Right to Work
By: Susanne Schmaling
Posted: January 31, 2014, from the February 2014 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
It's late at night, and you finally have a chance to catch up with social media. You find that you have messages from your friends saying that your state board just announced that the most important services that you perform are out of scope. In fact, some have even been fined for having these services listed on their menu. What do you do?
Your first reaction is to lash out via social media about your frustration, send a nasty e-mail to the state board and generally get really angry. All these reactions are understandable ... but not very effective. Unfortunately, this situation is not an unusual occurrence. As state boards try to react to changing technology and pressure from outside groups, these types of situations can happen at any time. The good news is there is a way to deal with this in a productive way.
Understand your state board
Your state board is not the enemy. Its primary purpose is to protect consumers from harm. It's not interested in dictating how to do your job; only to make sure that the statute passed by the state legislature is followed. Your board has two parts: the appointed members of the board and the state administrators.
The appointed members of the board are named by the governor and can include an esthetician. This is unusual, because most states don't require an esthetician's presence on the board. This poses a significant challenge when it comes to understanding the skin care profession. It also offers a great opportunity to educate board members about what you do every day and why you do it.
Your board administrators are state employees, and are responsible for administrating rules and regulations implemented by the board. They have to make the best possible decision based on the information they have at the time. They will take all of their recommendations to the board to vote on, and then take any new regulations to the enforcement division for implementation. Getting correct and timely information to the administrator's staff is key to addressing any concerns that you may have.

What is prostate cancer?
The prostate
The prostate is a gland found only in males. As shown in the picture below, the prostate is just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. The tube that carries urine (the urethra) runs through the center of the prostate. The prostate contains cells that make some of the fluid (semen) that protects and nourishes the sperm.
The size of the prostate varies with age. In younger men, it is about the size of a walnut, but it can be much larger in older men. The growth is fueled by male hormones (called androgens) such as testosterone.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia
BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) is a condition that causes the prostate to get larger as men age. BPH is not cancer and does not change into cancer. But it can lead to problems passing urine when it causes the prostate to press on the urethra. BPH is often treated with drugs that shrink the size of the prostate or relax the muscles in it, which can help with urine flow. If medicines aren't helpful, some type of surgery, such as a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) may be needed. (See the "Surgery for prostate cancer" section for a description of this procedure.)
Prostate cancer
There are several types of cells in the prostate, but nearly all prostate cancers start in the gland cells. This kind of cancer is known as adenocarcinoma. The rest of the information here refers only to prostate adenocarcinoma.
Some prostate cancers can grow and spread quickly, but most of the time, prostate cancer grows slowly. Autopsy studies show that many older men (and even younger men) who died of other diseases also had prostate cancer that never caused a problem during their lives. In many cases neither they nor their doctors even knew they had it.
Possible pre-cancerous changes of the prostate
Some doctors believe that prostate cancer starts out with very small changes in the size and shape of the prostate gland cells, although this is not known for sure.
Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN)
In PIN, there are changes in how the prostate gland cells look under the microscope, but the cells are basically still in place – they don't look like they've gone into other parts of the prostate (like cancer cells would). These changes can be either low-grade (almost normal) or high-grade (abnormal). Almost half of all men have PIN by the time they reach age 50.
Low-grade PIN is usually not concerning. The follow-up for patients with this condition is most often the same as if nothing abnormal was seen.
High-grade PIN is more concerning because men with high-grade PIN have about a 20% to 30% chance of having cancer in another place in the prostate. This is why doctors often watch men with high-grade PIN carefully and may advise them to have a repeat prostate biopsy.
Proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA)
This is another finding that may be noted on a prostate biopsy. In PIA, the prostate cells look smaller than normal, and there are signs of inflammation in the area. PIA is not cancer, but researchers believe that PIA may sometimes lead to high-grade PIN, or perhaps to prostate cancer.

Who doesn't love Creme Brulee? Or better yet, Chocolate Creme Brulee? And February is all about love and chocolate at LunaCafe. But, there are so many formulas for Chocolate Crème Brulee, I hardly knew where to begin. After some initial testing, I figured that the important thing was to first get the perfect proportion of egg yolks to cream, then the perfect types and amount of chocolate, and finally the perfect process. The romantic flavor pairing was added after I worked out the basic formula.
Cupid Crunch (Cracker Jacks for Lovers)
Cupid Crunch (Cracker Jacks for Lovers)
I'm in a Cracker Jack craze, and there is no end in sight. After developing Chinese Cracker Jacks in December and eating it daily for weeks, I can't stop thinking about all the possible flavor permutations. This is such a versatile concept: popcorn, nuts, seasonings, caramel brittle. Hey, wait a minute, what about chocolate?
Warm-Spiced Molten Chocolate Cake
I know, I know! Molten Chocolate Cake, or Lava Cake, as it is sometimes called, is so YESTERDAY. I am almost perturbed today when I see one on a dessert menu.
I mean, really, can't the pastry chef think of SOMETHING ELSE? Haven't we moved beyond warm, fragrant, oozing, fudgy chocolate soufflé cakes and their requisite ice cream accompaniments?
Chocolate Ginger Chipotle Stout Cake
Spicy Chocolate, Banana & Fresh Ginger Tea Loaf
It's All Chocolate! All Month! in the LunaCafe OtherWorldly Kitchen. As usual during the Month of Love, I am covered in chocolate: milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, white chocolate, and unsweetened cocoa powder. All in an effort to come up with the most delectable, memorable Valentine's Day dessert ever.
Mexicano Chocolate Ebelskivers (Aebleskivers)
Chocolate Shortcake with White Chocolate Crema, Strawberry Lime Sauce & Strawberry Lime Salsa
To set the record straight and to put my mind at rest, as near as I can determine after years of looking for the ultimate and absolute distinction between scones and shortcake, there is none.
Shortcake is a lightly sweetened cream biscuit–which is exactly what a scone is. So if you can make a perfect scone (and YOU CAN after reading The Best Scones in the Entire Universe), you can also make perfect shortcake.

In "Heeding the Call," a Tapestry of Faith program
Youth explore the importance of active listening as a conflict resolution tool. If the group did Activity 4, Nonviolent Communication, in Workshop 3, remind them that the group explored non-violent ways to talk. In this activity, they explore ways to listen.
Introduce this activity with words like this:
Truly listening to each other is just as important to justice work as speaking in non-violent terms. You may have heard of techniques like active listening or deep listening. The goal of these techniques is to encourage the listener to focus solely on what the speaker is saying, not to think about their own response. When we listen to each other with open minds and open hearts, we are better able to understand and empathize. We become more aware of the other person's situation and, if we are at odds, we have a clearer understanding of what will be needed to cooperate if we have the courage to do so. Listening to and understanding people with different perspectives can enrich our lives when we learn from the experiences of others.
Divide participants into two groups. Instruct Group 1 to think of issues they believe are the most important and urgent challenges facing humanity. Ask these members to sit in chairs scattered around the room with one empty chair facing them.
Pass out one instruction to every member of Group 2. Explain that Group 2 will take turns sitting in the empty chairs and listen to the members of Group 1. One facilitator will be timekeeper and announce when members of Group 2 must move to a different chair (about every 30 seconds), until every member of Group 2 has had a turn in every empty chair.
Then switch roles and have Group 2 members pass their instruction card to someone in Group 1 and repeat the exercise with Group 2 members remaining in chairs talking about issues that are important to them.
When Group 1 has finished rotating, have everyone holding an instruction read it aloud. Lead a discussion with the following questions:
Tell the group that later in the workshop, they will explore other ways to encourage conflict resolution and help build peace.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

good alternative for BMW with respect to its operations in Argentina.
BMW, like many foreign luxury car producers, are having a really hard time
importing in to Argentina. At times hundreds and even over a thousand
units can be caught up in customs. The Arg Govt has also made a deal with
these people - they can import provided they export the same dollar
equivalent of Argentine goods. So now you see auto companies exporting
water or whatever small inconsequential thing you can imagine.

BMW sees strong chance of building a plant in Brazil
German luxury car maker BMW said Tuesday there is a "high probability"
that it will build a factory in Brazil, one of the most dynamic auto
markets in the world.
A decision will be made later this year, chief executive Norbert
Reithofer told a news conference after the group posted a second-quarter
net profit of 1.81 billion euros ($2.58 billion), more than double the
year-earlier figure.
Reithofer said BMW's overall output currently exceeded capacity, putting
the level at 102 percent, and added that it might also significantly
increase capacity at its plant in the US state of South Carolina.
In the statement on BMW's results, Reithofer said: "The first half of
2011 has been the best six-month period in the BMW group's history."
It has been a major beneficiary of strong demand for luxury automobiles
in emerging markets, especially in China and other parts of Asia.

Album review
The Mountain Goats - Tallahassee
John Darnielle (aka The Mountain Goats) has been serenading us with the fortunes of his fictitious, doomed 'Alpha couple' for nigh on a decade. Produced by Tony Doogan (Delgados, Belle & Sebastian), Tallahassee is the sound of their relationship hitting the rocks in 14 spirited, acoustic movements; where love is "like the border between Greece and Albania" ("International Small Arms Traffic Blues") and the only pillow-talk is "I hope we both die". Bitterness never sounded so sweet.

On behalf of the members of the Junior League of Johnson City, I am thrilled to announce our 2nd Annual Cocktails & Catwalks Event was a smashing success! Our members were delighted to treat guests to a fabulous night out--what could be better than cocktails and shopping?
Proceeds from ticket sales and the extraordinary silent auction baskets allowed the League to continue its enduring influence on Johnson City. In partnership with the Johnson City Public Library, we are raising funds to create fantastic new children's spaces, as well as implementing new programming to enrich the lives of children in our area! It is our ultimate goal to promote and foster literacy in our community and to inspire and empower children and their families to read early, to read often, and to read together.
So, raise your glasses and let's toast to a fabulous evening!
