New York stories: Manhattan's spring/summer 2010 shows
Serious star-power, unrivalled luxury and the slickest trends. Averyl Oates, buying director at Harvey Nichols, takes notes at Manhattan's spring/summer 2010 shows
Monday 21 September 2009
Alexander Wang
I flew into bleak New York weather and raced to one of the most-highly-anticipated, must-see shows; Alexander Wang. He's one of the hottest boys in town – incredible seeing as he's only 25.
The models emerged from a dramatic, white smoked tunnel with a very strong Varsity sports theme. With his signature mix of tough versus sexy, he showed tinsel-inspired textured knits contrasted against floaty chiffon tunics and rugby sweats with leather patches. Leather, quilted or lingerie-inspired hot pants were key, worn with knee-high socks and leopard print, peep-toe wedges. The Eighties-style exaggerated shoulder has taken on an even fresher theme. Who would have thought American footballer chic could appear so sexy and modern?
Diane Von Furstenberg
Diane Von Furstenberg showed a soft, feminine collection of macramé and print dresses, from tropical-island-inspired long styles, through to a new take on her signature wrap dresses and draping. Vivid bright colours and tie-dye prints were worn with multicoloured woven bracelets piled in triplicate along the arm. Large shell-beaded shoulder bags inspired visions of a modern hula girl.
Derek Lam
As always Derek Lam's collection is the epitome of classic luxury. With a quiet Forties theme, his use of double-layer fabrics was predominant, especially in soft, flirty A-line skirts and bodysuits. Prints were strong, clashing top against bottom, while leather and suede corset T-shirts and jackets completed a softly indulgent wardrobe.
DKNY oozed urban cool at its best. In amongst her signature draped pieces and harem pants, the DKNY girl showed a new sassy sportswear side. One of the strong themes coming out of New York is the juxtaposition of mismatching prints, seen here and at Derek Lam and Rebecca Taylor. Short lengths are also key and the Eighties is still in effect although with a sportswear emphasis rather than statement glamour. Cycling shorts worn under dresses appeared here at DKNY, while Duran Duran-style stripey yachting tops cropped up at Rebecca Taylor.
Zac Posen
Monday was hectic but exciting. In between showroom appointments to see Alexander Wang up close and choose our exclusive pieces, we felt inspired to be back in New York. Mark Ronson's Seventies-inspired tunes set the scene perfectly at Zac Posen. Plastic macs and girly shift dresses and skirts with cut-out backs came in ice cream colours. Wide leg, high-waisted trousers teamed with apple and plum blouses, and draped black dresses made for a very chic collection. Stylist Rachel Zoe and New York it girl Genevieve Jones were in the front row. Impressive for 10am!
Donna Karan
Donna Karan gave good show, with her inspiration coming from the elements. It was as light as a feather; beautiful and airy, yet sexy. She was at her best, taking her past inspirations to create a thoroughly modern version of her classic woman. This time, Karan's signature jackets came in leather and crushed linen with grosgrain ribbons used as belts. These were matched with lean pencil pants or double-layer, knee-length "body" skirts in the lightest jerseys. As always her dresses were standout – simply wrapped and draped.
Thakoon has established himself as a leading member of America's new guard, and this time he added plissé and draping to his roster. Worn with streamlined techno-style ninja pants, these added a gladiator feel. Silhouettes, prints and colours had a sporty, aquatic theme but romanticism was key.
Marc Jacobs
For the highlight of the week, we raced to the New York State Armory. Marc Jacobs now begins shows within a heartbeat of the start time. We had the rare treat of having Madonna and Jesus Luz sit down virtually next to us, opposite Anna Wintour. To the music of Malcolm McLaren's "Madame Butterfly" the lights went down.
The show was a beautiful combination of styles and genres, from Zandra Rhodes-esque prints to vintage Comme des Garçons-inspired styling all worn by models in Kabuki make-up. This was Jacobs' interpretation of the modern geisha. The clothing was intricately detailed and decorated, using swirls and flounces, ruffles and ruches, sequins and pearls. Light chiffon and heavy brocade, short and long, bustiers, pantaloons, and bras over shirts and shorts: the latter being a small nod to his guest of honour.
Is it me or does the venue seem to double in size every season as the visionary Kate and Laura Mulleavy go from strength to strength? Dramatic music set the scene, as eerie smoke billowed around us. Although inspired by Californian condors, their research watching horror movies (for six months!) has paid off. Urban vampires emerged with black lips, matted hair and tribal war paint. Burnt and painted lace fabrics were interspersed with patchwork floral and plaid prints, intricate leather peplums were overlaid like armoured tabards on knitted skirts and dresses.
Marc by Marc Jacobs
The styling is always effortlessly cool at Marc by Marc Jacobs. He showed an eclectic Seventies-style mix of colour with mismatching Aztec and patchwork prints on dresses, culottes and lurex jumpsuits, all worn with fun, logo-ed accessories.
Michael Kors
Accompanied by hard techno beats, Kors delivered a cool urban collection, with sleek architectural shapes in the form of asymmetric dresses and polished tailoring. He counterbalanced crisp and soft textures, using crinkled and sheer fabrics in a cool colour palette of pale blues, greens and violets. Beautiful knits with slashed openings were worn over ink-splatter prints, and zips galore decorated shifts. For Kors' finale, transparency ruled supreme as he used a clever cut-out technique in Perspex to create the sexiest of dresses. Kors knows who his customer is.
3.1 Phillip Lim
To a strong bass beat and dramatic backdrop of red, Phillip Lim sent out a polished, sleek collection. He began with lipstick-red, tailored separates before quickly toning down the mood to detailed dresses. Lim said this collection was inspired by Picasso, and that he wanted to convey craftsmanship and individualism. The collection brimmed with texture from crocodile to sequins to plissé silks. In a tongue-in-cheek twist, the final look was a "compilation" dress combining all his trends.
Proenza Schouler
With the themes of Aztec and tribal coming out of New York, Proenza Schouler delivered the wow factor. There were decorated mini-tank and babydoll dresses and fluted A-line skirts in vibrant medleys of black, white, tie-dye blues and greens. Matt and gloss combinations made for a spectacular show.
Ralph Lauren
The Ralph Lauren business in Europe is on fire and you can see why. The show started with a strong denim and workwear message to recall American pioneer women on the prairies living through challenging times.
Lauren has interpreted the new recession friendly clothing as dressing down with weathered jeans, sturdy dungarees and the classic jean jacket. These were juxtaposed with naive floral printed dresses.
This was simplicity at its most sophisticated. Not forgetting the classic sharp pinstripe, pure white tailoring and separates for which Lauren is legendary, the collection came to an end with contemporary eveningwear, again heavily inspired by the denim theme, in particular shredded, beaded, cropped jeans with an indigo striped blazer.

"The State of Health Information Exchange in 2010: Connecting the Nation to Achieve Meaningful Use," was published late last month and is eHealth Initiative's latest report on the status of HIEs. Of the 234 active HIE initiatives across the country, 199 organizations responded to the annual survey. The report also noted that the number of HIEs has grown due to the establishment of 56 state designated entities (SDEs); 48 SDEs completed the survey.
The report said more organizations are reporting a reduction in staff time and redundant testing through the use of HIEs. Thirty-three respondents said that using HIEs helped them decrease staff time spent on clerical administration and filing, 30 participants said it helped them trim staff time spent on handling lab and radiology results, and 28 said they spent less money on redundant tests.
The survey also found that HIEs have increased functionality with respect to the meaningful use rules. Sixty-seven respondents said they have connectivity to electronic health records, which is a 76% increase from a year ago. Fifty participants said they can link to results delivery and 49 said they can connect to health summaries for continuity of care.
When asked about the top five types of data exchanged by the initiatives, 68 said they share laboratory results, 63 said medication data, 62 said outpatient laboratory results, 61 said allergy information, and 58 said data related to emergency department episodes or discharge summaries.

Kostas Karyotakis
Ballade to the Forgotten Poets of the Ages Poem by Kostas Karyotakis
Detested by both men and gods,
like nobles who have bitterly decayed,
the Verlaines wither; wealth remains
to them, of rich and silvery rhyme.
With 'Les Chatiments' the Hugos are intoxicated
by their terrible Olympian revenge.
But I shall write a sorrowful
ballade to the forgotten poets.
Though the Poes have lived in misery,
and though the Baudelaires have suffered living deaths,
they ve all been granted Immortality.
Yet no-one now remembers,
and the deepest darkness has completely buried,
every poetaster who produced limp poetry.
But I make as an offering this reverent
ballade to the forgotten poets.
The world's disdain is heaped on them,
but they pass by, unyielding, pallid,
sacrifices to the tragic fraud that
out there somewhere Glory waits for them,
that wise and merry virgin.
But knowing that they re all due for oblivion,
I weep nostalgically this sorrowful
ballade to the forgotten poets.
And off in some far future epoch:
'What forgotten poet' I should like it to be asked
'has written such a beggarly
ballade to the forgotten poets?'

John Richter (1/6/2015 11:51:00 AM)
I like how he adds himself to the legion of forgotten poets. And oh how true it is that we sacrifice ourselves to the glorious fraud that somehow future glory awaits our scribbles. By searching just now I discovered that there is a difference between the ballad and ballade forms.... Learn something everyday. Of course at my age I'll forget it by tomorrow.... Nice thoughtful poem, though I'll say the author may have been a bit pessimistic.... (Report) Reply

Robert Walser's work is defined by the action of walking. A walk is an attempt to remain upright while continually moving forward. So is an essay. This essay proposes to take two large steps (made up of many smaller steps). It will attempt to define the concepts behind walking in Walser's work, and then show the where and how of those concepts in several examples of Walser's writing. It will attempt to remain upright. It will attempt to move forward. It may stride. It may tiptoe. It may circle back or zig-zag. It may even lose its balance. It will attempt to catch itself.

- Description
Bulmers can trace its origins back to 1887, when Hereford's Percy Bulmer finally succumbed to his mother's advice on breaking into the food and drinks industry, as it would never go out of fashion. Today, Bulmers Original is one of the most popular drinks on the market, particularly among 18 – 24 year olds (Source: Ipsos MRBI, Most often drunk brand, MAT October 2011).
The company's success is particularly remarkable considering the humble circumstances Percy Bulmer started it in. He made his first cider using apples from his father's rectory orchard and an old stone press on the farm next door. In 1889, his older brother, Fred, returned from King's College, Cambridge to become a business partner. Together, the brothers managed to persuade their father for a £1,760 loan which allowed them to buy an 8-acre farm on the outskirts of Hereford, where they built their first cider mill. In those days cider-making was a hit or miss affair, with the fermentation process relying purely on yeast occurring naturally in apples. However, Henry enlisted the help of his university friend, Dr. Herbert Durham, whose decision to introduce a wild yeast to the apples ensured fermentation was consistent. This was the beginning of commercial cider-making.
In 1911 Bulmers was granted the Royal Warrant and to this day, it remains official 'Cider Maker to Her Majesty the Queen'.

A strip from the waste; GIRLS RECYCLE W.I. NUDE SHOTS.
Only a few well-placed props covered their modesty as the ladies were shown indulging in traditional pastimes such as baking and knitting.
But how many ordinary women would be brave enough to bare all? We laid down the challenge to the girls from Bywaters Waste Management And Recycling in London, photographing them with the sepia-tint-with-a-splash-of-colour effect used in the W.I. calendar.
"If the W.I. can do it, so can we," they said. After posing with the odd strategically-positioned rubbish bag and bin lid, they told SHIRAZ LALANI how it felt to strip off for the cameras.
I loved it..whatever my boyfriend says
Laura Welham, 18 from Dagenham, Essex
I WAS looking forward to doing the pictures. The W.I. shots looked great so I didn't need much persuading.
You're not going to get many chances to do something like this. We were in a professional studio and it was a great experience.
I don't care what my boyfriend Ross says - I'll just surprise him. I'm looking forward to seeing the shots myself."
VERDICT: I felt like a real star. It was great fun doing the pictures and I am really pleased with the way they turned out.
My best wishes goes to the Women's Institute ladies who posed because I know how self-conscious you can feel.
It was fun. What is all the fuss about?
Suzanne Clark, 26
from east London
IF the Women's Institute can do it, then anyone can and those pictures were very tasteful. So why not give it a go?
I can't wait to see how they come out. What other chance do you get to have pictures done professionally?
I've only been with my boyfriend for a couple of weeks so I'm not sure how he'll take it. I'm just going to tell him to buy the paper. I think doing something together like this helps office morale. Our firm's very close-knit and our boss was very supportive.
VERDICT: The build-up was worse than actually doing the photo shoot. It was great fun. Once we'd done it I wondered what all the fuss had been about.
I wouldn't pose full frontal, but this isn't sleazy
Victoria Armstrong, 19
from east London
I'VE always wanted to be in the limelight and get all the attention.
I wouldn't pose full-frontal for a million pounds, but pictures like the Women's Institute calendar are really tasteful and nicely done.
I did some pictures for a friend's college portfolio a while ago, but she ruined the film and I didn't get to see the results so I'm really looking forward to seeing these pictures.
And anyway, posing nude is not like marrying a stranger like that couple in Birmingham. That's going a bit too far to get in the limelight.
VERDICT: I was fine once I got into position. I really enjoyed myself.
Because we did it together, it made it much easier.
There's nothing sleazy about posing in the nude. The pictures were very tasteful and nicely done.
My boyfriend Brian doesn't know about this yet but I am sure he will be happy for me and be proud when he shows the pictures to his friends.
It was a buzz. I feel I could do anything now
Charmaine Marks, 26
from Redbridge, Essex
A WEEK ago I never thought I would pose nude but now I feel I can do pretty much anything.
It was a real buzz doing the pictures, probably the most exciting thing I have ever done.
I thought the Women's Institute snaps were great so why not give it a go?
It was an amazing experience and has made me feel even more confident.
I wasn't quite shaking in the studio but I wasn't far off it.
But once we got going I didn't feel at all self-conscious - quite the opposite. There was no reason to be nervous. They are not full frontal pictures and I'm really proud of them.
VERDICT: It was great. I would love to pose again, as long as the pictures were tastefully done, like these were.
My boyfriend Tony will be over the moon when he sees the pictures.
The shots turned out really well. The black and white pictures are very flattering. I'm so glad I didn't let my nerves get the better of me.
Even my mum said the snaps were amusing
Sue George, 32
from Harlow, Essex
MY HUSBAND Graham was all for it when I told him about the pictures.
Mind you we've only been married seven months so I hope after he sees the pictures we still make it to our first anniversary.
I've never posed for photos like these before but Graham and I stripped off on a deserted beach in Kos two years ago.
The pictures of the Women's Institute ladies inspired me to give it a go.
They're all different shapes and sizes but they are still proud of their bodies.
We're all different but I think it's great to show off your body. Even my mum said it was really funny.
All my friends have said they'd love to do it too.
Mind you, I don't know what my husband's biker mates are going to make of it.
VERDICT: I really enjoyed it. I didn't feel self-conscious because I was well covered up.
It was less nerve-wracking than I thought and I'd definitely do it again.
I'm proud of the pictures.

|Arkansas Hwy. & Transp. Dep't v. Hope Brick Works Inc.

Vice President Joe Biden speaks during The American Legion's annual convention at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston on Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2013. Biden says there is no doubt that Syrian President Bashar Assad's government is responsible for the heinous use of chemical weapons. Biden's comments make him the highest-ranking U.S. official to say the Syrian regime is the culprit in a large-scale chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21.

Understanding Energy Consumption of Sensor Enabled Applications on Mobile Phones
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Recent research in ubiquitous and mobile computing uses mobile phones and wearable accelerometers to monitor individuals' physical activities for personalized and proactive health care. The goal of this project is to measure and reduce the energy demand placed on mobile phones that monitor individuals' physical activities for extended periods of time with limited access to battery recharging and mobile phone reception. Many issues must be addressed before mobile phones become a viable platform for remote health monitoring, including: security, reliability, privacy, and, most importantly, energy. Mobile phones are battery-operated, making energy a critical resource that must be carefully managed to ensure the longest running time before the battery is depleted.

The goal of the Model Aquatic Health Code is to codify scientifically proven data in the aquatics industry.
As a physician and aquatic researcher, I have seen firsthand the absolutely amazing effects that water can have in recovering and promoting health across the age span and across many, many clinical situations.
Have you ever calculated how much urine and sweat are in the average pool? The number might surprise you.
Operators are the heart of any aquatics facility.
Have you ever worked at a public pool and felt a degree of panic not knowing if your pool was in compliance with the requirements of public health code?
In the United States, there is no federal regulatory authority for disinfected recreational venues; all pool codes are developed, reviewed and approved by state and/or local public health officials.
On practically a daily basis during summer 2003, major newspapers in California carried articles citing closures of public swimming pools due to an inability to afford the utility costs, or justify keeping pools open.
Should you teach adults to swim, or is it more important to teach children? To answer that question, consider this: Nearly half of American adults can't swim in deep-water pools.
Here's a look at the five circles of consciousness that swimmers go through when they're in the water, and how instructors can use those circles to teach.
If adults have tried lessons and haven't learned to swim, they are almost certainly afraid in water and lessons have not addressed the fear effectively.

X Factor's Little Mix more popular than Leona Lewis, Joe McElderry, Matt Cardle?
There may be only one X Factor winner overall, but the show is inspiring a nation of pop wannabes.
Sales of karaoke machines on eBay, the online marketplace, increased by 229% between August and November as Brits channel legions of Leona's in the comfort of their own home – with more than 100 karaoke machines selling every day in the lead up to the X Factor final this weekend.

Dieters will try anything to shed a few pounds, and the newest craze is sure to get people feeling the freeze.
Dr. Brian Weiner is the creator of The Ice Diet and says that noshing on homemade slushy concoctions of shaved ice and artificial sweetener could help those battling the bulge shed the pounds once and for all.
Weiner credits the icy beverages to his own successful 50-pound weight loss, saying the cold temperature of the ice increases the number of calories a person burns, saying that for every litre of ice someone eats would burn about 160 calories.
"When ingesting clinically significant amounts of ice, the body must burn energy to warm the ice to body temperature. The ingestion of ice would also provide some level of satiety," he tells the Toronto Sun.
But nutritionist to the stars Rehan Jalali says Weiner's theory is bunk.
"I have not seen any published studies to remotely even suggest that ice consumption can help with weight loss."

This is a reunion meeting for those who attended the trip to Poland earlier this year.
I loved what one of you said - that we travelled to Poland as strangers and came back as friends! This definitely calls for reunion. So let's keep these stories alive and hopefully create some new ones!
I'm looking at a couple of places for this event, but I will post the details closer to the date. It will definitely be in central location.
Also I'm sorry to keep you waiting for such a long while but i will be travelling quite a bit now... And I wouldn't miss it for the world! :)
See you soon!
Hey guys, I have had a look at the bars in south bank yesterday and as they do not take reservations for drinks only I thought it would be best if we try Skylon. It's a really nice place and being in Royal Festival Hall, even if its really busy there will always be space in the building. ;) I hope to see you there!

I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

Is it possible to get an exported (C style?) function's signature (parameter count/types, return type) from a DLL? I can view the list of function names, addresses, ordinals, etc. with DLL Export Viewer but I can't view the signatures. I only have the dll file and don't have neither .h nor .def files.
UPDATE: Using a tool called API Monitor, I can attach to a process that uses the mentioned dll and see the calls to the functions. This lets me to see the number of parameters, return value and their integer values (pointers?) but this doesn't help a lot. I probably should find a way to determine what type of structures those pointers are pointing to at the call time.

Superdiners: What to eat right now
Superdiners share their picks for the must-eat item on San Diego menus
Gerald "Dex" Poindexter, marketing director, EAT at The Pearl Hotel: Every now and then, I get a hankering for some sweetbreads. They're not on a lot of local menus, and I know they're not everyone's thing. But a place like Cowboy Star (640 10th Ave., San Diego. 619-450-5880 or thecowboystar.com) does them right. When the restaurant first opened a few years back, the ones on their menu were the first sweetbreads I'd tasted that I actually liked. The ones on the current menu are Buttermilk Fried Lamb Sweetbreads with caper berries, cipollini mushrooms, grilled scallions and lamb jus. Still a good dish at an underrated restaurant that pioneered the East Village scene.
Dave Morgan, CPA, avid diner: Everyone in San Diego is missing out if they don't eat the Lasagna alla Bolognese at Via Italia Trattoria (569 S. Coast Highway 101, Encinitas. 760-479-9757 or viaitaliapizzeria.com). A typical lasagna is heavy and weighs you down. So the goal should be to create a hearty and filling yet light dish that doesn't send you for a nap upon completion. Via Italia has done a fine job at this. They prepare it with a combo of béchamel and Bolognese sauce, making a wonderful sauce blend. The pasta is perfectly delicate, and they use just the right amount of cheese. The house-made Bolognese is exactly what you expect for your pasta. The only thing needed with this dish is a fork and a nice Barolo. The lasagna at this cozy neighborhood restaurant is definitely not to be missed.
Susan Russo, food writer, cookbook author (Twitter @Susan_Russo): My must-eat item right now is Great Maple's (1451 Washington St,. San Diego. 619- 255-2282 or thegreatmaple.com) Apple Pie a la Mode. Not just any slice of pie, this is a towering individual warm lattice-topped apple pie dripping with creamy vanilla bean ice cream, salted caramel and spicy candied pecans. It's big enough for four people to share, but I recommend splitting it between you and someone you really love.
A Superdiner's top five
Fabrice Poigin, private chef, restaurant consultant: "For me, eating (and cooking) is about two things: what mood I am in and whom am I eating with (or cooking for). This alone dictates my cravings, so I can't say that there is one thing at some point of time that I so badly needed to have again. Then again, I am around food every day …
1. The gnudi a la salvia at Cucina Urbana (505 Laurel St, San Diego. 619-239-2222 or cucinaurbana.com)
2. Passion fruit cake at Extraordinary Desserts (1430 Union St., San Diego. 619-294-7001; 2929 Fifth Ave., San Diego. 619-294-2132 or extraordinarydesserts.com)
3. Basil Eggplant with chicken or shrimp at Amarin Thai (3843 Richmond St., San Diego. 619-296-6056 or amarinsandiego.com) People say the Hillcrest Amarin is better than its sister restaurants: Narraya, 4475 Mission Blvd., San Diego. 858-490-2245; Siam Nara Thai Cuisine, 8993 Mira Mesa Blvd., San Diego. 858-566-1300.
4. Mussel dish at JRDN (723 Felspar St, San Diego. 858-270-5736 or t23hotel.com) (steamed mussels with chorizo, garlic, chardonnay, herb butter)
5. Sushi at Azuki Sushi (2321 Fifth Ave., San Diego. 619-238-4760 or azukisushi.com)

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 4 nights
This luxuriously comfortable oceanfront home is complimented by a dramatic setting in one of Mendocino's most exclusive and well-maintained coastal neighborhoods. The house is conveniently located between Russian Gulch State Park and Point Cabrillo Lighthouse State Park (both within easy walking distance), just one mile north of the historic Mendocino Artists Village.
This home is set 30 feet above a protected cove where relaxation and inspiration take on new meaning. It is safe and quiet except for the sound of surf and seagulls. Appropriately named SEAL REEF , it offers an endless attraction for watching seals basking in the sun with their pups on the reef below, migrating whales, porpoise jumping and pelicans in formation as they glide inches above the water.
'AWESOME' is understated. Seal Reef is a surreal place where nature's beauty and incredible power are right in your back yard. Guests of all ages enjoy the time they get to spend here. Seal Reef is not recommended for young children (ages 1-5).
Mendocino is a world famous, low-key vacation destination with a myriad of invigorating outdoor activities that include endless miles of bicycling and hiking through majestic redwoods and fern canyons or along beach trails. Kayaking through sea caves and on one of the serene rivers is a memorable adventure. The heart of Anderson Valley Wine Growing Region and wine tastings is a 40 minutes drive. Cultural highlights are the annual Music Festival, Salmon Festival, Whale Festival, Crab and Wine Festival and More.
This home is pet/smoke free and thoroughly sanitized between guests. Seal Reef is completely turn-key with WiFi internet, DVD plus streaming NETFLIX movies and is tastefully furnished including a gourmet kitchen, granite counter tops throughout , stone and glass showers and hardwood floors. All the comforts of home AND MORE in a private beachfront community.
* early check-in and late check-out OK depending upon guest scheduling*
**** 7th day free with generous discounts for even longer stays ****
$450 nightly rate is for double occupancy (2 persons) $50 per night additional guest (6 guests maximum)

We had three wonderful nights and days here. The home was well kept, nice kitchen to cook in with all the gadgets needed! Beautiful view from the house, inside and out. Loved the fire pit by the cliffs, watching the sea lions, porpoise, whales, birds, the list goes on. We felt relaxed the minute we got there. Super close to Mendocino, hiking, Fort Bragg, the beach. We would love to have had another few days there. Will be back for sure!!!! The owners were lovely to work with. Can't say enough positive things about the whole rental. The only suggestion we have is to put a more cozy couch- like an L shape that you can really sink into. The current couch is not very cozy or comfortable.
A lovely property with a wonderful view of the ocean and surrounding shoreline! The grounds were pristine, and so was the house. We are all very tall people. The master bedroom was awesome. However the other two bedrooms had extremely comfortable mattresses, but the beds were only double sized. So several of our number had feet hanging over the edge of the bed. Would not recommend this property for 3 adult couples of more than average height. The only other slight criticism I could offer is that there is really no comfortable place in the house to sit and read after dark that has enough light for old eyes--like mine--to see well. A taller lamp by the sofa would be welcome. All in all, though, it was great. As I said, the kitchen was wonderful--best equipped of any VRBO home I have ever stayed in. The owners were gracious, helpful, and accommodating. Thank you for a lovely Christmas.
Seal Reef is an idyllic location and the home is beautifully furnished and equipped with all the things you need for a great vacation. Everything was perfect.
The house has everything you can possibly think of! The owners are very helpful and friendly. We truly felt at home with all the amenities. We biked, hiked and went to local restaurants with our children as well as cooked at home. Next time we will plan more biking trips and kayaking. After a long day, we enjoyed ourselves watching incredible sunsets over the ocean.
We stay on the Mendocino coast often and this house was one of our favorites. It's in an absolutley beautiful spot - regardless of the weather - and the house is lovely, comfortable and well stocked.
We look forward to our next trip.
Stayed here for four nights when the weather was fantastic. The house sits adjacent to the ocean, just north of Mendocino, and the views are spectacular. One evening we watched migrating whales from the deck; and we had a seal colony on the rocks just below the house. The house is nicely furnished, very comfortable and a pleasure to spend time in. We cooked dinner at the house several nights, because just sitting there and looking out at the sunset was the best thing we could do. Many wonderful things to do nearby, though sitting here was equally enjoyable.

Touring Torino or is that Turin?
Friday 2nd Jan - We left Padova to head for Torino (also called Turin) which caused some confusion when booking the hotel. Torino is what the Italians call the town, Turin is the english version of the name. It's the fourth largest city in Italy after Rome, Milan & Naples. It was the first capital of the united kingdom of Italy from 1861 - 1865 and home to the Royal family. It's a major city for academics, artists, tourism, Italian car industry and sports, and the city hosted ...
Mont Blanc Tunnel to Turin
... car to be near on the
busy streets was a police car which cut us up twice. At least it was
a Sunday and the roads were fairly quiet. We found our hotel with
little difficulty. It was a beautiful old building with a central
courtyard providing us with a secure place to keep the bike
overnight. Mozart and Napoleon had stayed there. We were shortly
out on the town though, with no real agenda which made for a much
more relaxing stroll. ...
Torroneria Tour & Plin with Giorgio & Gabriele
Oh my goodness! Another one of my favorite days!
Today we went to Asti and Brett watched the girls while I went on a private tour (and tasting) of D. Barbero Torroneria & Cioccolateria! Guess I must miss work and really like what I do since I get really excited to go into food manufacturing facilities! It was an amazing tour... Federica was my guide and she spoke English super well so I learned a lot!
1777. Very Short Visit
... a bit guilty as I speed walk, looking for the city center and speed sing through my park bench concert... Luckily there is a beautiful cathedral that works well for my video clip. On the inside the cathedral is even more beautiful with paintings everywhere--even up and down the pillars. One thing I do find a bit odd, is it seems ...
1776. A Town Named Bra
Day 294 2 hrs, 3.6 kms Of course I've got to check out a town with a name like this! I get off the train just as high school students get out for lunch break and join a crowd of them in a doner shop for a sandwich shop. Nice town to wander around in, with part of the city up on a ridge, with some castle like homes... and yes, you can buy a bra in Bra, in case you were ...

stylish, but cheap material

24/7 Women's Palazzo Pants.
It looked beautiful, was nice and soft but was very flimsy and started getting tears after having been worn less than 10 times and washed 3 times. This was sort of like the nylons of the 1950s and 60s that would run just trying to put them on. Overstock service was quick and correct but the product was awful.Read More
Soft, nice fabric, great price
These pants are soft and have a nice flow to the fabric, without the fabric being too thin or see through. They have held up in the wash well. These can be worn around the house, on errands, or even dressed up for evening out.Read More

Best Women's Pants for the Weekend
After a week of wearing professional clothes for work, dressing casually and comfortably for the weekend just requires a few pairs of women's pants. This does not mean you have to skimp on style. Whether you want to have a dinner out with friends or simply need to run errands, there are plenty of comfortable wardrobe options that do not involve T-shirts and sweatpants. Stay stylish during the weekend by choosing women's pants that fit and pairing them with accessories, blouses and shoes you already own. Wear khaki pants for almost every occasion. Khaki pants are perfect for weekend wear, especially if you want an alternative to jeans. Khaki pants are casual but still appear stylish and come in a variety of lengths. Cropped khaki pants hit at about mid-calf, and capris fall just below the knee. The most flattering style is straight-leg because it gives khakis the appearance of being well-fitted and works with any type of shoe. Find the perfect pair of jeans. Jeans are the ultimate pants for the weekend. Comfortable and versatile, women's jeans come in a variety of washes and colors to go with anything in the wardrobe. Cuts like wide-leg, low-rise, boot-cut and straight-leg allow women of any size and body shape to find a pair of jeans that fit well. While women's jeans may be considered casual, pairing them with heels or wedge shoes and a loose-fitting blouse or sweater can create a more formal or put-together look. To keep jeans casual on the weekend, pair them with flats and a knitted top. Stay comfortable in velour pants. If you prefer to lounge the weekend away or just run a few errands, velour pants are soft and can be worn year-round. Velour pants often come in sets with zip-up hoodies, giving you a simple option for weekend wear. These pants come in a variety of colors, often include pockets and offer a simple drawstring waistband for comfort. Velour pants are also great for working out, so you can easily wear them throughout the day before a trip to the gym or outdoor activity.

Szczesny: I don't want to leave
Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:43:00
Cardiff captain Mark Hudson looks set to miss three to four weeks of action and may require surgery on his injured ankle.
The 30-year-old defender was forced off at half-time in the Bluebirds' 1-1 draw with Derby with an ankle injury which forced him to miss the victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
"There is a complication and that's something we are looking into," manager Malky Mackay told the South Wales Echo.
"There are conversations needed with our medical people and I can't put a timescale on when Mark is back.
"It looks at least three or four weeks, but we still have to make decisions."
Mackay loaned in Norwich defender Leon Barnett last week and the former West Brom man looks likely to be a regular in the skipper's absence.
Korey Smith is set to make his Oldham debut as Lee Johnson starts his managerial career at Boundary Park against Pools.
Smith has joined the League One strugglers on a one-month loan deal from Norwich and is fit to feature against John Hughes' side.
Johnson inherits a Latics side placed 21st in the table after he was confirmed as Paul Dickov's permanent replacement.
His first task will be to halt a run of three consecutive league defeats which has left his team two points from safety.
The youngest manager in the Football League will be without Matt Smith (knee) and Cliff Byrne (ankle) who both remain absent.
Johnson has no other injury or suspension concerns with Kirk Millar, Cristian Montano and Robbie Simpson all hoping for a change in selection under the new regime.
For the visitors, Hughes could pick the same starting line-up for the midweek encounter.
The Hartlepool boss has no new injury or suspension problems and could opt for the same XI that started in the narrow weekend defeat at Coventry.
That could mean a place on the substitutes' bench again for striker Steve Howard, who has yet to start a game since late January after shaking off a hamstring strain.
Antony Sweeney made his first start since January at the Ricoh Arena after his recovery from a knee injury and lasted 70 minutes. He is expected to resume in midfield alongside Ritchie Humphreys, Simon Walton and Jonathan Franks.
Teenage striker Luke James is pushing for a recall, but James Poole is likely to continue his partnership with Middlesbrough loanee Charlie Wyke up front.
Teenage defenders Jordan Richards and Jack Baldwin are out for the rest of the season with respective knee injuries.
The Poland international was dropped for the Champions League game against Bayern Munich last week as manager Arsene Wenger felt the 22-year-old had been "mentally affected" by the number of games played, and again took him out of the firing line for Saturday's trip to Swansea where Lukasz Fabianski kept a second consecutive clean sheet.
Despite maintaining he could offer no players a guarantee of a place in his side - not even captain Thomas Vermaelen, who also sat out the last two Gunners matches - Wenger insists Szczesny remains part of his long-term plans, having taken a chance on the young Pole who came through Arsenal's youth ranks after joining the club's academy from hometown side Legia Warsaw in 2006.
Speaking to Poland daily newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza in an interview conducted before the Swansea game, Szczesny said: "I am too happy to go somewhere else. I believe in the philosophy of the club and that Arsenal will start to win again.
"I have a debt to pay here for the club, I owe them. I just do not want to go anywhere else.
"As long as they want me here, there is no 'somewhere else', and I have a contract until June 2015."
Arsenal beat Swansea 2-0 away on Saturday as they battled back into contention for a top-four finish, with Tottenham's 1-0 home defeat by Fulham leaving them four points behind their local rivals, with a match in hand and a superior goal difference.
Szczesny feels it is unthinkable for Wenger's men to miss out on playing in the Champions League next season.
"It is halfway through March and we have lost everything. There are still 10 matches left to save the club against the humiliation of all times," he added.
"It would be disaster not to be in the top four and without Champions League next year.
"We have the 10 most important games in our careers. We are going through the most difficult time since I came here."
Defender Carl Jenkinson feels Arsenal need to focus on delivering consistent performances from their own remaining nine matches, following the win at Swansea, rather than worry about the shortcomings of others.
Speaking to Arsenal Player, Jenkinson said: "We just need to concentrate on ourselves. Other teams are going to drop points.
"We want to win every game and we are capable of doing that.
"Our form hasn't been bad. It can be better of course. From now it's just about now until the end of the season. That's going to be what makes or breaks us, so it's almost like a little season in itself.
"We just need to get on a good run and keep it going. If we do that, we'll end up where we need to be."
Arsenal beat Swansea without England midfielder Jack Wilshere, who is nursing an ankle problem independent of the injury which sidelined him for more than a year.
Reports on Monday afternoon suggested the 21-year-old, who has been allowed time away in Dubai to aid his rehabilitation, is set for an extended spell on the sidelines.
However, Wenger expects to see him return after the international break, with Arsenal's next Premier League game against Reading on March 30.

Hubble Releases First Post-Upgrade Images 129
from the new-prescription-much-nicer dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
What you are doing is supposed to be science not PR.
You think hubblesite.org is about science instead of PR, huh? NASA depends on good PR in order to survive.
The problem is if you put filters as part of the light sensitive array, that would be all they can be used for. The Hubble probably has Red Green and Blue filters as part of its kit as well as a bunch of others that look at specific spectral lines for study. If you combine RGB filtered pictures in the right proportions, you get what we consider to be "natural" color. But it also has narrow band filters for other capabilities like Hydrogen Alpha (in the red band) and Sulfur along with many others. These can be combined to give scientists a visual input as to how the different elements are distributed in the clusters/clouds/etc.
So the Hubble can produce what we interpret as "natural color" but it can also photograph frequencies that we cannot see visually (human vision is pretty limited in spectral range) such as Ultra violet and Infra red.
So by having what we would consider to be "gray scale", with the use of the filters, tremendous amounts of information about the makeup and distribution of objects can be obtained.
"We don't care. We don't have to. We're the Phone Company."

Peru's presidential elections are shaping up as a four-way race of familiar faces with major consequences for the country's reformist path, writes CFR's Joel Hirst.
Ollanta Humala's victory in Peru's presidential election should mean continued solid relations with the United States and is an opportunity to further prove that moderate leftism is the consensus model for Latin American politics, says expert Michael Shifter.
Joel D. Hirst argues that if elected as president, Ollanta Humala will likely have Peru follow the path of Venezuela.
