rayon (n.)↕
Rayon is a manufactured regenerated cellulose fiber. Because it is produced from naturally occurring polymers, it is neither a truly synthetic fiber nor a natural fiber; it is a semi-synthetic[1] or artificial[2] fiber. Rayon is known by the names viscose rayon and art silk in the textile industry. It usually has a high luster quality giving it a bright sheen.
Contents |
Some major rayon fiber uses include apparel (e.g. Aloha shirts, blouses, dresses, jackets, lingerie, linings, scarves, suits, neckties, hats, socks), the filling in Zippo lighters, furnishings (e.g. bedspreads, bedsheets, blankets, window treatments, upholstery, slipcovers), industrial uses (e.g. medical surgery products, non-woven products, tire cord), and other uses (e.g. yarn, feminine hygiene products, diapers, towels).[3] Rayon is a major feedstock in the production of carbon fiber.[citation needed]
The fact that nitrocellulose is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and acetone made it possible for Georges Audemars to develop the first "artificial silk" in about 1855, but his method was impractical for commercial use. Commercial production started in 1891, but the result was flammable and more expensive than acetate or cuprammonium rayon. Because of this, production was stopped before World War I. It was briefly known as "mother-in-law silk."[4] Nathan Rosenstein invented the spunize process by which he turned rayon from a hard fiber to a fabric. This allowed rayon to become a popular raw material in textiles.
Paul Schützenberger discovered that cellulose could be reacted with acetic anhydride to form cellulose acetate. The triacetate is only[citation needed] soluble in chloroform making the method expensive. The discovery that hydrolyzed cellulose acetate is soluble in more polar solvents, like acetone, made production of cellulose acetate fibers cheap and efficient.
The Swiss chemist Matthias Eduard Schweizer (1818-1860) discovered that tetraaminecopper dihydroxide could dissolve cellulose. Max Fremery and Johann Urban developed a method to produce carbon fibers for use in light bulbs in 1897.[5] Production of cuprammonium rayon for textiles started in 1899 in the Vereinigte Glanzstoff Fabriken AG in Oberbruch. Improvement[citation needed] by the J. P. Bemberg AG in 1904 made the artificial silk a product comparable to real silk.
Finally, in 1894, English chemist Charles Frederick Cross, and his collaborators Edward John Bevan, and Clayton Beadle patented their artificial silk, which they named "viscose", because the reaction product of carbon disulfide and cellulose in basic conditions gave a highly viscous solution of xanthate. The first commercial viscose rayon was produced by the UK company Courtaulds Fibers in 1905. Avtex Fibers Incorporated began selling their formulation in the United States in 1910. The name "rayon" was adopted in 1924, with "viscose" being used for the viscous organic liquid used to make both rayon and cellophane. In Europe, though, the fabric itself became known as "viscose," which has been ruled an acceptable alternative term for rayon by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
The method is able to use wood (cellulose and lignin) as a source of cellulose while the other methods need lignin-free cellulose as starting material. This makes it cheaper and therefore it was used on a larger scale than the other methods. Contamination of the waste water by carbon disulfide, lignin and the xanthates made this process detrimental to the environment. Rayon was only produced as a filament fiber until the 1930s when it was discovered that broken waste rayon could be used in staple fiber.
The physical properties of rayon were unchanged until the development of high-tenacity rayon in the 1940s. Further research and development led to the creation of high-wet-modulus rayon (HWM rayon) in the 1950s.[6] Research in the UK was centred on the government-funded British Rayon Research Association.
Rayon is a versatile fiber and has the same comfort properties as natural fibers. It can imitate the feel and texture of silk, wool, cotton and linen. The fibers are easily dyed in a wide range of colors. Rayon fabrics are soft, smooth, cool, comfortable, and highly absorbent, but they do not insulate body heat, making them ideal for use in hot and humid climates.[7]
The durability and appearance retention of regular viscose rayon are low, especially when wet; also, rayon has the lowest elastic recovery of any fiber. However, HWM rayon is much stronger and exhibits higher durability and appearance retention. Recommended care for regular viscose rayon is dry-cleaning only. HWM rayon can be machine washed.[6]

Regular rayon has lengthwise lines called striations and its cross-section is an indented circular shape. The cross-sections of HWM and cupra rayon are rounder. Filament rayon yarns vary from 80 to 980 filaments per yarn and vary in size from 40 to 5000 denier. Staple fibers range from 1.5 to 15 denier and are mechanically or chemically crimped. Rayon fibers are naturally very bright, but the addition of delustering pigments cuts down on this natural brightness.[6]
Regular rayon (or viscose) is the most widely produced form of rayon. This method of rayon production has been utilized since the early 1900s and it has the ability to produce either filament or staple fibers. The process is as follows:
High wet modulus rayon (HWM) is a modified version of viscose that has a greater strength when wet. It also has the ability to be mercerized like cotton. HWM rayons are also known as "polynosic"[clarification needed] or can be identified by the trade name Modal.[8]
High-tenacity rayon is another modified version of viscose that has almost twice the strength of HWM. This type of rayon is typically used for industrial purposes such as tire cord.[8]
Cupramonium rayon has properties similar to viscose but during production, the cellulose is combined with copper and ammonia (Schweizer's reagent). Due to the environmental effects of this production method, cupramonium rayon is no longer produced in the United States.[8]
The biodegradability of fibers in soil burial and sewage sludge was evaluated by Korean researchers who found that biodegradability decreased in the following order: rayon, cotton, acetate (meaning rayon decays more readily than cotton). The ability of individual rayon-based fabrics to repel water was negatively correlated with their speed of degradation (meaning the greater the water-repelling ability of the fibre, the slower it will decompose).[9]
Rising cotton prices in 2010 led clothing makers to begin replacing cotton with rayon in their fabrics. Designers such as Isaac Mizrahi have incorporated rayon into their newest designs. As demand for rayon increases, companies such as Fortress Paper have been investing in pulp mills to increase production. Rayon now sells for as much as $2.70 per pound, which has led to an increase in the retail price of clothing made with rayon, despite rayon's price advantage over cotton.[10]
Rayon has been accused by some as contributing to the destruction of rain forests[11] although rayon production can come from a wide variety of trees and most of its yearly production comes from renewable trees.[12][13]
In early 2010, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission warned several retailers that six major manufacturers were falsely labeling rayon products as "bamboo", in order to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. While rayon may be produced with bamboo as a raw material, and the two may be used for similar fabrics (though natural bamboo is not as smooth), rayon is so far removed from bamboo by chemical processing that the two are entirely separate.[14]
Trade names are used within the rayon industry to determine the type of rayon used.
Bemberg, for example, is a trade name for cupramonium rayon developed by J. P. Bemberg that is now only produced in Italy due to United States Environmental Protection Agency regulations in the US.
Modal and Tencel are widely used forms of rayon produced by Lenzing AG which is based in northern Austria. Tencel, generic name lyocell, is made by a slightly different solvent recovery process, and is considered a different fiber by the US FTC.
Galaxy, Danufil, and Viloft are rayon brands produced by Kelheim Fibres, a German manufacturer.
Acordis is a major manufacturer of cellulose based fibers and yarns. Production facilities can be found throughout Europe, the U.S. and Brazil.[citation needed]
Visil rayon is a flame retardant form of viscose which has silica embedded in the fiber during manufacturing.
North American Rayon Corporation of Tennessee produced viscose rayon until its closure in the year 2000.[15]
Grasim of India is the largest producer of rayon in the world (claiming 24% market share). It has plants in Nagda, Kharach and Harihar – all in India, as well as joint ventures in Canada, Laos and China.[16]

I am currently playing a normal blind pick match and I got disconnected. When I try to reconnect, it tells me that it can't connect to the server and that I should check my firewall. I don't have a firewall. And my internet still works fine, as I'm here posting this while the game I got disconnected from is currently ongoing. Can someone offer a suggestion as to a fix for this? Thanks a bunch!
Same problem, loss forgiven plz.
Senior Member
Ill third that. I just can't seem to reconnect for the same reasons. Thing is, people in my game ALL lost mouse movement (All, as in enemies and friends alike).
I keep trying to reconnect, still not working X.X My team needs me!!!
Apparently this is happening to pretty much everyone, me included. Threads popping up all over.
It's only been an occurring the last 3 or so days. I thought it was a fluke with my net at first, but since I can still connect to anything other than LoL, I'm inclined to believe that the problem isn't client side. The strangest part to me, is that this issue isn't permanent. The last couple of times it has happened, it won't let me in game until the current match is over, and then it works fine, until it happens again.
This has been going on for days? And it just now happened to me...
I'm just hoping my account doesn't get suspended due to all the "leaving". I really enjoy this game and that would be a bummer.
so it wasnt only me who's suffering
Still no response from riot though... :S

Dez Wells taking recruiting tour
Dezmine Wells, the recently expelled Xavier forward who began a recruiting tour Thursday at Kentucky and continued it Friday at Memphis, will decide on a destination by Tuesday from a short list that includes Maryland and Oregon, a source told ESPN.com's Dave Telep.
Wells had added the Ducks and Buckeyes as possible considerations Friday morning, the source told Telep, before Ohio State decided against bringing Wells in.
The Strange Case of Dezmine Wells
The good news? Dezmine Wells' name has been cleared, and rather forcefully, by a grand jury. But that doesn't change his current predicament: finding a new place to play basketball in a rather short period of time, writes Eamonn Brennan. Blog
Kentucky was dropped from the candidates after an academic deadline passed Thursday night with Wells still unready to commit.
From Memphis, Wells will leave Saturday for Maryland before going to Oregon for visits that last five to six hours.
A grand jury rejected sexual-assault charges against Wells on Tuesday. But Xavier announced the sophomore would remain expelled from the school, saying it was standing by the University Conduct Board's decision to expel the sophomore for what it termed "a serious violation of the student code."
Wells started 32 games as a freshman last season and was the team's fourth-leading scorer while making the Atlantic 10's all-rookie team. He would have been the only returning starter for a team that reached the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament. The forward averaged 9.8 points and 4.9 rebounds.
He was suspended for four games for his role in an on-court brawl with rival Cincinnati during the season. Wells was among four Xavier players suspended, with Cincinnati also suspending four players.
Dave Telep is ESPN.com's senior national recruiting analyst. Information from ESPN.com's Dana O'Neil and The Associated Press was used in this report.

History Repeats in Walgreens Deal for Alliance Boots
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Investors hated Walgreens (WAG) decision to buy Alliance Boots in 2012. Now, after shares in the drugstore chain more than doubled since the deal's initial announcement, Wall Street is again disappointed.
Walgreens shares fell as much as 15% on Wednesday morning after the company said that it wouldn't shift its headquarters abroad as it completes the two-step acquisition of Alliance Boots. The company also lowered revenue targets for the combined company to between $126 billion and $130 billion from a previous guidance of more than $130 billion in annual sales.
Wednesday's share rout is familiar territory for Walgreens and a possible opportunity for long-term investors. After all, the company's stock tumbled to multi-year lows below $30 a share in July 2012 after initially announcing its Alliance Boots deal. Shares, which then steadily rose to a record-high above $75 in June, are now in the low $60s.
Read More: Walgreens Never Said it Would Do an Inversion
Once investors absorb Walgreens disappointing guidance, its decision not to chase tax savings by incorporating abroad and a different financial outlook after shifting guidance from earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to earnings per share (EPS), they may remember that Alliance Boots looks like a compelling acquisition. Expectations on synergies and cost savings from Alliance Boots catapulted Walgreens shares in recent years, and those targets remain in place. Perhaps, after Walgreens cut its guidance for operating earnings by around $2 billion, the company has set a low bar from which it can now beat Wall Street's expectations in fiscal 2016 and beyond. Meanwhile, not all news was bad on Wednesday. Alliance Boots is considered one of the best-run pharmacies in the world. Its chairman, Stefano Pessina, built up an international powerhouse within the span of about a decade, and he and top executives at Alliance Boots will take key roles within Walgreens. If the management of Walgreens has underperformed competitors like CVS Caremark (CVS) in recent years, its bench has deepened significantly with the acquisition of Alliance Boots. Walgreens CEO Gregory Wasson will remain CEO of the combined company, and Walgreens independent Chairman James Skinner will be non-executive chairman of the new company, which will be called Walgreens Boots Alliance. Pessina will hold a role as executive chairman of Alliance Boots and executive vice chairman of the combined company. Pessina will report to Wasson and be tasked with strategy and M&A, in addition to chairing a strategy committee for the combined company. Four of the nine-member management team will be made up of legacy Alliance Boots executives and Jefferies analysts noted that Alliance Boots will have a prominent role in the combined company. Alex Gourlay, a former Boots executive, will become president of Walgreens, while Ornella Barra, another Alliance Boots executive, will become CEO of global wholesale. "This combination is a true partnership, further evidenced by the composition of the future management team of Walgreens Boots Alliance," Pessina said in a Wednesday statement.Read More: Family Dollar's Lost Way Leads to Peltz and Icahn Hedge fund investors in Walgreens have asked that Pessina and Alliance Boots take prominent roles within the combined company. It is unclear whether those shareholders, whom also advocated for an inversion in addition to sweeping operational and financial changes to Walgreens, were supportive of Wednesday's measures. Jana Partners declined to comment. Corvex didn't return a call for comment. Perhaps any further stumbles by Walgreens after disappointing Wall Street on Wednesday will give fodder to activist shareholders that want further change at the company. Walgreens authorized a $3 billion share repurchase program through the end of fiscal 2016 on Wednesday, in addition to a 7.1% increase to the company's quarterly dividend to 33.75 cents a share. The company also said it anticipates up to $1 billion in cost cuts to go with its synergy targets, exceeding analyst estimates. Some analysts appeared confused by Walgreens sharp cut to guidance and its higher synergy forecast. Barclays said those two developments could indicate a much worse outlook for Walgreens core business, while Bank of America questioned whether synergy and cost savings targets were achievable. Deutsche Bank said Wednesday's announcement "at best could be considered extremely disappointing." Nonetheless, some analysts were already treating the sharp selloff in Walgreens shares as a buying opportunity. "We rate Walgreen 'Outperform' and consider a pull-in to the low $60 range as a buying opportunity. We believe there could be upside to [fiscal year 2016] goals as cost reduction efforts begin to take hold," Leerink Swann analysts said on Wednesday. WAG data by YCharts

We just got back and loved it!!! If you are the kind of person who like american hotels transplanted in foreign countries this may not be the place (or country) for you but if you like really nice, really clean hotels with great food and impeccable service but still a local flare then this is it! We went alone but it would also be a great couples trip. Be sure and go fishing and get Alberto as your guide. We caught so many fish and he cleaned them up and the hotel cooked them for us for dinner - it was awesome!! Download some Jerry Jeff Walker, kick off your shoes and make your reservations....

Fantastic white wolves - PHOTOSHi!Nobody caughed the kiriban? What a pity Will, will, where are you?I do not mean any guy (although Will Riker is kind of cute ), but my own will - I can not get into losing weight again, although I now have the perfect chance to continue! I hate my weak will so much, how comes that I can not kick myself to continue, especially when I see it IS possible? :/ nah, I am so angry at myself. Go, stupid Woxys! There are still 20 kilos of fat which wait to be removed.Mhhhhhm, I really need to start, as even the current state makes me feel much happier than the state a year ago.Sorry for talking about this issue a lot, it is not easy, although I have already managed to lose some 20 kilos. And now other 20 should go away! It is just hard, because yes, it is nice I lost so much, but I am still so terribly overweight I have so many motivation clothes, but I obviously need a big kick to continue. GOOO, blonde, go but thank you for your support, you are awesome.Now so
Guilty and adorable baby animals - PHOTOSHi!At first, thank you for very interesting discusion under my last journal - although I did not reply to every comment, be sure I read every single one! do not be afraid, I definitely do not judge USA and its citizens through some reality shows here in the Czech republic we also have really stupid shows and so, I think it is a world epidemy I always keep in mind that USA is huge country with a large scale of people of all the qualities some of you said they are ashamed to be Americans - I do not think there is a reason for it, as your country has f.e. many good universities or scientists!I had a bad day today. I got totally stressed (I can not say why - maybe because of my stupid diploma thesis?) and when I get stressed, I eat. Holy mother, I ate such a crap today, that I feel really guilty and if I did not feel a strong resistance against it, I would like to kick myself to threw it all away I ate some caramel cream I prepared for a cake I made, then I ate TH
:-( and ZOO animals - PHOTOSHello,I hate that thesis SO much... I feel like total idiot, I somehow can not write it. Why?! It is my the last attempt to complete it, if I do not finish it properly, I totally lose my chance to get my second Master degree. Which would be pretty embarassing, because not only I already have all the credits I need, I even passed the graduation exams! After so much work, it would be stupid to end without the title just because of inability to write stupid 80 pages.Also, I wish USA a lucky hand when it comes to voting! It might be interesting, I will definitely watch US elections interesting material for a student of political science. I do not mind to share my opinion - I would vote for Obama. But I do not feel like advocating my opinion, I have no problem with those whose attitude is different The first few photobooks have been already shipped!P.S.: still exercising, still riding a bike (two days, then a pause), still eating 5x a day. I have problems with drinkin
Tiger drama in local ZOO + animals - PHOTOSHi people!Once more sorry for low activity. Thesis, thesis. Thesis. Thesis. DIES.Today a white tiger in Czech ZOO Liberec attacked a young guy (he was on practise, not a visitor), who was saved thanks to bravery of two female keepers who hit the cat with some bucket to get his attention. The tiger escaped from the exhibit, so three people, all of them injured by the tiger, stayed inside the cage. The tiger was shot with some drugs and went limp. Fortunately, this whole accident seems to have a happy end, injuries are not severe and the tiger has not been harmed. Just wow, huh... Drama!Finally a feature for Kiriban winner and then some animal photos. Please keep your fingers crossed for me, so I can finish my thesis soon. Thank you!KIRIBAN FEATURE:iconsnowwolf-suraku:
Amazing SNOW LEOPARDS on snow - PHOTOSHi,thank you for kind voluntary donations for free calendar (http://woxys.deviantart.com/art/Animal-photocalendar-2012-FOR-FREE-269531520) I really appreciate it! Kiriban winners will be featured next time, ok?Today I post photos of my favourite cats, snow leopards. All were taken in ZOO Jihlava with Canon Powershot S5 IS. I still have some sharp photos of nice moments, which I somehow "saved for better occassion". Ironically, I now do not feel like posting them, because although they are sharp and bright, they do not have SLR quality of shots taken with my SLR camera. There are also some very cute poses of baby snow leopard, so I might still post them later. I will consider it.Nah, bad mood here.And thank you for every , of course!
Some personal news + wonderful animals - PHOTOSHi Thanks for your support, I feel better now The bad / sad issue with the stubborn person I love is not fixed, but at least it seems to improve. I am afraid it can never be absolutely ok, which makes me feel sad for that person. You know, you offer a hand, which is refused, while this person wants you to offer a hand, just in a different way, but he refuses to say which way. Mhm. As I say, it brings me down a bit, because this person is sad and I have always done my best to help. The bad thing is, there is no 100% solution. At least it seems to get better and I am grateful for it, although it is kind of difficult to forget some things which have been said and which somehow hurt As I said, the ZOO visit on Friday made me very happy to be honest, I came to Brno so tired and hungry, that I joined my family in a restaurant (TVD, you remember Richard, right? ) and ate incredibly big portion of pretty unhealthy food for dinner but I do not regret, it was delic

ZOO Dvur Kralove - PHOTOS + lens troubles?Hi pals!Kiriban was caught and the winner will be featured soon I also passed all your comments and compliments (on the last journal's photos) to my parents, they were very pleased and thanked you so thanks!This weekend I spent in mountain and I visited one of my favourite ZOOs, Dvur Kralove nad Labem. I was a bit disappointed that they moved cheetahs (I did not see them at all), because this ZOO was very good for taking photos of them. They also moved fennec foxes from very photographer friendly enclosure which allowed the foxes to enjoy some sun light into a nocturnal indoor pavilion which is very dark and you can watch the foxes only from above, so I am afraid I lost this place for fennec photos I also did not manage to take good photos of baby tigers and baby leopard although I tried a lot. It seems that my lens refuses to focuse, which scares me I admit I could take some 70 000 photos with it, but... do not die, 55-250 IS! I can not be without photography!
Beautiful and fuzzy: WOLVES - PHOTOSHi! Here come some photos of arctic wolves They are old, so the quality is lower - but I think it is a good thing to use stock photos
Bitten by a squirrel + funny ZOO Vienna - PHOTOSHi I used my a bit higher (but still pathetically low) self-confidence to meet another dA member - this time it was Shadow-and-Flame-86, lovely young scientist from Scottland, where she studies marine mammals! It was just perfect, she is very nice person, we had fun (at least me ). I am really glad we met and could chat a lot about her work, ZOOs and animals in general What was the biggest attraction? Giant pandas? Wolves?No! Those were squirrels ZOO Vienna is totally full of wild but tame squirrels. And by full I mean that they are everywhere in a forest part of the ZOO! People feed them with nuts, so they come VERY close to you, they even run to humans, following them and begging I was ready for this and I prepared a sack of wallnuts for me and Shadow-and-Flame-86 to have some fun. It was amazing one squirrel bit me when she took a nut from my fingers - I was rude to hold it too tightly, I think XD other squirrel climbed me chest, other one my

12, KIRIBAN is close, troll, wolves on snow-PHOTOSHi!At first - there is a new kiriban - catch my 866 666 pageviews and send me a printscreen as a proof via note to win a feature (no feature for animal abuse, porn or art-thieves).At second - I lost 12 kilos it means I need to lose 20 another killos to have NORMAL weight. Well, I am on a good way, I just need to try harder. 12 kilos are nice, but not nice enough if you consider the time. I am still satisfied, because I think I mostly lost fat and not muscles, which is great I will do my best to lose another 10 kilos faster. Let's give it try ok? I will do my best to lose another 10 kilos until the end of October (I do not want to go to quickly. To lose weight fast is definitely not a good way, because then you get a lot of fat back and you lose muscles...).I went to buy some present for my sister's nameday (which is today and we had a cake, OH! and because my job's colleague is also Martina, we had another cake, OH! I think I will eat gras
Wonderful wolves + cute wolf pups - PHOTOSHi!Oh, nobody caught the kiriban again? How comes?

I have already sold several mugs and also 3 calendars, which makes me really happy! I wish I could see, how the printed calendar looks, so I thought about buying it too, but honestly, I would not use it that much haha, from some 5500 points, I have 500 left now Do not forget that I now sell new FOX MUG - *My amazing cousin had to travel to Ostrava today, he had some important meeting there. And he was nice enough to take me to Olomouc, which is on the way. So I could visit my most favourite ZOO and amuse myself with watching animals the light was really bad,
Relief, kiriban and ZOO Brno - brand new PHOTOSHi people! So my parents finally got back from Georgia. I have to say that I feel a great relief! Of course I knew local people are civilized that it is a nice country with fantastic nature, but it was still the Caucasus region and I definitely did not trust its roads and planes...

Nice to have them home I also announce the newest kiriban as you did not catch the previos one: 904 444!Catch my 904 444 pageviews and send me a printscreen via note as a proof to win a feature (no feature for porn or animal cruelty, thanks for understanding)Huh, I made a BIG mistake.(WARNING, A LITTLE SPOILER ALLERT IS FOLLOWING)I read a part of Hunger games.

Kay, here we go... ABOUT ME Q. How long have you been drawing?A. I've been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil, but I've only been seriously drawing since about 2001. That's when I first started to really explore the internet. It led me to find some of the great artists like Auryanne, Moon Wang, and Snowy who ended up intensely inspiring me and starting my artwork along the path it's on today.Q. Where do you find your inspiration?A. The biggest and best place I find my inspiration would be from my own thoughts and feelings. Drawing from my emotions especially with music on in the background can be one of the mo
German lesson number two!:3 - Polite talkingHello there!;///;I never expected this journal would become so popular.O///OSo I decided to make another one to help you!:3Let's start. :iconteatimeplz:In english, everybody is usually 'you'.In germany, you have to address people as 'Sie' when they become adults. It's polite, and if you don't do it you seem very rude. There are two ways of 'Sie' in german. One is the feminine sie. This one is used for females. "Sie spielt draußen" - "She is playing outside."And there is the other Sie, the one I just told you about.The femine sie is written without a capital letter, the polite sie is written with a capital S - Sie. The polite sie can be used for both, female and male.Some expample sentence with 'Sie':Do you know where I can find the toilet? - Wissen Sie , wo die Toillete ist? [ Wisan se wow de towletah ist?]
Want to learn some german?:3 - The basicsHello there!^w^I was bored...so I thought, since a lot of people seem to like Germany, I would like to share some germans words with you!:3First, in germany exist three 'articles'. In the english language is only one, 'the'.In germany the articles are 'Die' (feminine), 'Der' (masculine) and 'Das', neutral.A lot of those articles don't make sense for the words there are used to..xD (For example it is: 'Die' Sonne (the Sun). But actually the Sun is a thing, and not feminine. ) This will be very confusing to learn. ; ;So I will teach you some basics, and how you pronounce it. :3Guten Morgen - Good morning [Gootan Morgan]Guten Abend - Good evening [Gootan Ahband]Wie geht es dir? - How are you? [Wee gayht es dihr?]Mir geht es gut! - I'm fine! [Meer gayht es goht]Mir geht es nicht so gut. - I don't feel very good. [Meer gayht es nisht/nicht sow goht.]And there comes the CH (nicht.) I noticed this is very, very difficult to pronounce for people outside germany. But german people c

Selena Gomez Got Heavily Stressed On New Movie Set And Almost Walked Off
Selena Gomez got heavily stressed on new movie set and almost walked off. According to a new report from Hollywood Life and their sources, bigtime movie starlet Selena Gomez apparently felt the pressure of shooting her first,R-rated,non Disney flick out on the "Spring Breakers" movie set with fellow starlets Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson.
Their sources told them, "Selena gets stressed out really easily. The girls are wild, but she's not. The production team has to also tell the paparazzi to hide when Selena is filming because it distracts her and she can't focus. She really did have an anxiety attack that almost made her stop shooting, she's not letting loose." Selena also hit up her Twitter account earlier this month to reveal,"Got bad anxiety after shooting. I need to relax."
Luckily,she got passed all that as she reportedly wrapped up,filming the flick over the weekend,and made pretty quick work of it as I don't even think they were filming for even a month yet.
Anyways,the film will have the girls robbing a restaurant for Spring Break cash,getting thrown in jail,and cruising with a rapping drug dealer. It's going to be pretty wild,and hits theaters in 2013. Stay tuned. Follow us on Facebook by Clicking Here. Follow us on Twitter by Clicking Here.

When Lolo's birth mom chose us to be the parents of her little one she didn't know if she was having a girl or boy but when we found out it was going to be a little girl, I must admit my whimsical soul did a little dance.
You think I would have my fill of decorating happy places since we have three fun shops, but this space was special. There is no theme but it's quite evident that I like my share of patterns, pom poms, posies, pennants and polka-dots (and if you couldn't tell… alliteration ~ I do love that too;-)
If I had to name my design partner for this project, it would be Pinterest. Plenty of inspiration came from a variety of pins but I had fun making it my own.
I can't say I'm a huge fan of slip covers but I was pleasantly surprised how this canvas stripe number transformed our old living room chair and ottoman. (plus it's machine washable which I'm sure will be helpful when it comes to future spills)
The photo ledges are from Ikea and are perfect for showcasing the current bedtime story selection. I bought the bean bag so I could easily prop Lolo up for photos but I have a feeling it will turn into a comfy reading spot soon enough.
Once I decided on the main color of the room, I dressed up old dressers with some paint and decorative knobs. The other color inspiration came from a pack of quilting fabrics I found that featured patterns and tones that appealed to me. I used that fabric to create a polka-dot nook using embroidery hoops and a string of pennants throughout the room. The pennants were the last thing I added to the nursery… fearing they might be a little too much but I ended up keeping them (because ultimately I'm a too much kinda gal & if you've shopped in any of our catching fireflies locations, you know what I mean ;-)
While shopping for our store at a wholesale show this summer, I saw a pom pom mobile that stopped me in my tracks. I took a mental picture and headed to the craft store and created my own version. With the same yarn selection I also wrapped this giant M and adorned it with some felt flowers. The other pretties above the crib include our personalized baby print and a magnet board from our sister store, Yellow Door Art Market. Also since the nursery is so sunny in the afternoon, I placed one of our solar rainbow makers in the window which creates a flurry of small rainbows dancing on all of the walls.
One trend that I am loving are these gallery walls. They are the perfect way to create a little vignette of special goodies. The majority of this collection was curated from treasures I found at our sister store, Yellow Door Art Market and a delightful shop in Traverse City called The Red Dresser.
The anchor artwork's message, "love is bigger" really spoke to me and it is also by an artist I admire and have exhibited next to before. I fell in love with Jane's crocheted animal heads the second I saw them & am so happy she is part of our Yellow Door family of artists. I also can't get enough of Jennifer's little felt embroidered gems.
I dolled up the curtains a bit (and I'm sure those curtain ties are gonna have to go once she is mobile considering her super human grip she has at only 4 months) I was also happy to bump into Sarah Miller of Moon Forest Studio at an art show this fall for some additional cuteness (because… you know, it wasn't quite at capacity yet)
I know the "something old, something new" doesn't apply to nurseries but since my mother is a serial packrat, she did give me this sweet sun pillow that I had when I was a tot. I'm looking forward to many sunny moments shared on this chair as lil' Lolo grows.
So there you have it ~ a small room packed with as much love and whimsy it can hold.

A white tented reception is a no fail approach to a classic wedding. Now add layers of all white blooms by Sara York Grimshaw Designs and glamorous black-tie details by Ellen Robinson of WED and suddenly that classic wedding is on a whole other level. One that Marni Rothschild has captured so beautifully.

If this lovely Southern fête by Scobey Photography isn't the perfect way to wrap up the week here on Style Me Pretty Georgia, then I don't know what is. Literally overflowing with the sweetest of DIY details, beautiful blooms by Southern Stems and gorgeous purple hues, I could get lost in this charming affair for hours. Not to mention one very fabulous wedding gown...
