Gold Medal Style: Olympic Looks Through the Ages
By Morgan Shanahan on July 28, 2012
BlogHer Original Post
Ahhh, the Summer Olympics. Time to gather the family around the TV, pop open some fizzy drinks, and MAKE FUN OF ATHLETES' OUTFITS. Because that's what sports are really about, right? I mean, why else would The Lakers have worn hot pants when I was growing up?
Although our Olympic ancestors provided us plenty to gawk at, TEAM 2012 is taking things to new heights with everyone from Silver Foxes to Celebrity Spawn getting in on the action (both Stella McCartney and Cedella Marley are designing for their national teams, Great Britain and Jamaica respectively). And what better way to kick off our Olympic Fashion Slide Show than with the US's very own, 2012 Ralph Lauren Designed Olympic Team Opening Ceremony Uniforms.
Um, Ralph? I don't think dressing our athletes like a bunch of Ivy League Yacht Rockers is the way to ingratiate ourselves to the rest of the world.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
Haredi Jews reportedly pushed and verbally attacked Naftali Bennett, the head of the Jewish Home party, at the Western Wall.
The attack occurred as Bennett began praying in front of the Wall on Jan. 21, the day before Election Day. He was protected by a security detail.
Jerusalem Police reportedly detained a Haredi youth who called on Bennett to take off his kippah. The youth reportedly shouted "You want to draft our children to the army, mothers are crying at night," and "let me study Torah. Don't force me to go to the army, you're inciting sin."
Bennett, whose party has been rising in the polls, has sent out mixed signals on military service for all Israelis, including Haredim.
Hundreds of supporters had greeted Bennett upon his arrival at the wall.
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the spiritual leader of the Haredi Shas Party, on Saturday night had called the Jewish Home party a "home for the gentiles."
"It's forbidden to vote for them," Yosef said in his weekly sermon. "These are religious people? Anyone who votes for them denies the Torah."

You cannot please everybody.
Protecting Jewish lives from deadly attack is not against the Torah at all.
Telling a Jew to stop worshipping at the Western Wall is against the Torah.
Why cant the Jewish people defend themselves, did they not fight when delivered out of Egypt on the way to the land promised to Abraham and his descendants?
Anyone who calls Jews Gentiles denies the Torah and should be ashamed.

Who is Horowitz? He's Netanyahu's eyes and ears. He's very close to him, literally his personal representative everywhere…
in a new report, Amnesty International charges "Gaza armed groups' with war crimes in last summer's Operation Protective Edge.
If there are no surprises, Netanyahu is expected to form a coalition, after some tough negotiations, with the Likud, Bayit Yehudi, Kulanu, Yisrael Beytenu, UTJ and Shas.
One wonders how many Prime Ministers Herzog envisions sitting in that one chair at the same time.
Netanyahu is expected to have 61 recommendations in his favor.
There's much disappointment within Yesh Atid as they head into the oppositions.
Final voter counts are in, if Yachad doesn't petition the courts over voter fraud…
"The truth is it's surprising to us as well, but it turns out each one of us voted their hearts."
The anti-Bibi campaign's quiet change in tax status both came too late and constitutes an admission of wrongdoing.
If the media hadn't been so eager to oust Netanyahu, voter apathy could have made that happen.
Netanyahu said he wants to have a government formed within the next 2 to 3 weeks.
The overwhelming electoral victory by the Likud was nothing less than a revolution, and an absolutely clear mandate from the people.
At 50% of the votes counted, the Likud pulls way ahead… but what will the remaining 50% do?
A very happy PM Netanyahu declared victory at the Likud victory party.
The employees of Israel's Knesset are also completing preparations as they bid farewell to those Knesset Members leaving and welcome new members to Israel's parliament building.
The final numbers aren't in, and Yachad is sitting right on the wire.
More than 20 cars and buildings in a Jewish community in north London were vandalized with swastikas.

New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind called on the Jewish community to attend the funeral of an assassinated New York police officer.

I have loved these YMCAs and if we settle somewhere one day I think a membership will be in order. We drove to Winchester, Virginia where we knew there was a good sports bar waiting.

The last few months I've been more in New Orleans than in San Francisco, but when Emily & James heard I would be back in the Bay for a wedding, they eagerly asked if they could book me for a maternity shoot. I was thrilled! Darling Emily & James are perhaps some of the most creative and most inspiring couples I've had the pleasure to collaborate with. From there amazing North Beach engagement session to their jewel toned wedding at The Monte Verde Inn, I am always riveted by their sweet energy and love. Right from the jump, Emily said she was adverse to doing anything too typical, so I knew I wanted to do something a little more intimate and creative as well as classic and timeless. We started off at Emily & James' lovely home, and spent quite of bit of time capturing the day to day "quiet" before the little one's arrival. I was also extremely touched to see the pics I took from their engagement and wedding hanging on their wall! Emily just glowed with makeup and hair by the ever talented Fiona Tsang. It felt really good being back in the Bay and seeing old friends. It was an awesome shoot with amazing people. Thank you so much Emily & James, I'm just so happy I get to be a part of your lives :)

Unnati & Raj's Engagement, Fort Point & Dog Patch Boulders, San Francisco, CA
Darling Unnati & Raj have been a pleasure to work with so far. For their engagement session we decided go with two very different backdrops. Our first destination was a gorgeous classic; Fort Point always makes for an exceptional environment for engagement sessions and weddings. Unnati & Raj brought out their fun style with dramatic color pops of cobalt and red, which off set the atmosphere perfectly. Our second destination was quite unique! As a rock climber myself, I practically flipped out when Raj mentioned that we should go shoot at Dogpatch Boulders. I love thematic shoots in new environments, and I just adored this concept. For the whole second half of the shoot, we basically just played on rocks, it was awesome. I can't wait for their up upcoming wedding, it's going to be quite the adventure :)

Laura & Aaron's Wedding, Point Sixteen, Big Sur, CA
This was a truly magical wedding, and I am just so pleased it also happened to be my cousin Laura's. A wedding on the coast of California can be a gamble; it can be windy, foggy, and unpleasantly cold, but for this day, it - was - perfect. I adored Laura & Aaron's venue, Point Sixteen, which, beyond it's stunning view, had so many amazing places to photograph. The eucalyptus grove beyond the bridal suite was particularly enchanting, and a great spot for the first encounter. As Laura walked down the path to meet Aaron I could feel the air tingling with a crackling electricity. Laura & Aaron are touched by such a sweet kind of nestled love, it's just so easy to love this couple in love, and incredibly fun to capture it. The ceremony was right on the bluffs of California and the dramatic backdrop was a perfect fit to their dreamy union. Fog was kissing the surface of the ocean, but the view was clear for miles. After the ceremony and as the sun set, the colors changed from bright blues to pinks, and I was forever in love with Big Sur. I really think I may have at some point in my life. The reception following was full of tears, laughter, and some of the most touching speeches I've ever heard. As night settled in, we danced and roasted marshmallows under the starry sky, it was just awesome. I really feel blessed that I got to be a part of this exceptional day. I love you guys (4evaCous)!

Halladay hurls Phils to playoff berth
Tigers hit biggest streak in 77 years
No champagne. No wild celebration. The Philadelphia Phillies are back in the postseason for the fifth straight year, and that's exactly what they expected.
Roy Halladay pitched his 20th career shutout and Philadelphia became the first team to reach the playoffs this season with a 1-0 victory over the Houston Astros on Wednesday.
The NL East leaders clinched at least a wild-card berth and will take another run at a ring in October. Philadelphia won the World Series in 2008 and took the NL pennant in 2009.
"That's the beauty of being here," Halladay said. "We expect to win. You convert to that quickly, coming from a team where that wasn't the case. We had some big wins last year and come into the clubhouse and that's where we expected to be."
Phillies players and manager Charlie Manuel simply lined up for handshakes and high-fives following their 95th win, just as if it were any other. The goal this season is a World Series championship, and anything short of that would hardly satisfy.
"It's a great mentality to have," Halladay said. "There's business to be done and until that point, there's not a lot of celebration."
Philadelphia's magic number is four for clinching its fifth straight division title.
"We want the World Series and we want to get there in a good position," Manuel said. "We want to win our division and we want to have the best record. We want to give our players the best possible position."
nTigers 6, White Sox 5 F/10: Carlos Guillen singled home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and the Detroit Tigers extended their longest winning streak in 77 years, rallying for their 12th straight victory.
Guillen also hit a solo homer for Detroit, which hadn't won 12 in a row since 1934 — when Hank Greenberg, Charlie Gehringer and the Tigers lost a seven-game World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals' famous Gas House Gang.
nBraves 4, Marlins 1: Alex Gonzalez hit a three-run homer and Martin Prado bunted in a run during a four-run rally in seventh inning.nReds 7, Cubs 2: Ramon Hernandez hit a three-run homer, but Cincy lost pitcher Johnny Cueto because of a strained muscle in the upper right side of his back.

Revolution Timeline • Battle of Bunker Hill – Fighting broke out in Boston – British troops had remained in the city – Britain ordered them to break out but they had to get past the Militia (emergency groups of colonists) that were camped out on Bunker Hill and Breed's Hill – This was one of the bloodiest battles of the war and Britain took control of the hill on June 17, 1775 – Britain "won" but they lost more men than the colonists and the King was shocked. The colonists were not disappointed because even though they lost they beat up the British – King George III hired German soldiers to control colonists and he had the navy block all shipping – The shipping blockade bothered the colonists and prevented supplies from getting into or out of certain areas. Revolution Timeline • Watch video about Lexington and Concord • Read page 72-75 from the book as a class. • Read only the description of the 7 battles. • We will discuss the Declaration of Independence and Treaty of Paris on Friday Declaration of Independence • The Introduction • The Introduction of the Declaration of Independence refers to the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitling the people to assume any type of political independence. The introduction also acknowledges that the reason for independence must be of reasonable terms. The Declaration therefore must be concise and explained thoroughly. Declaration of Independence • The Preamble • The Preamble contains probably the most famous lines of the Declaration, "we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal. ? The Preamble states that there are certain unalienable rights that government should never violate. Those rights include the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Should those rights be violated and the government fails to protect them, the people have the right to protect those rights themselves by overthrowing the government. Declaration of Independence • The Indictment • The Indictment begins by stating the suffering of the American colonies and the feeling of absolute constraint in forming a new system of government. The Indictment also refers to the numerous and repeated injuries that King George III placed upon the colonies and then go on to include factual information as to the many things that King George III had committed. • The King is accused of twenty seven specific abuses; interfering with colonists' rights to self government and a fair judicial system; instituting legislation that affected colonies without their consent, increasing taxes on colonists; requirement to quarter British soldiers; right to trial by jury; preventing them from trading freely, for example. Also, the King had refused to protect the borders of the colonies thus resulting in the destruction of American life and property. These are among the twenty seven accusations the colonists made in direct relation with King George the III in the Indictment portion of the Declaration of Independence. Declaration of Independence • The Denunciation • The Denunciation portion of the Declaration of Independence basically covers and finishes their case for separating from England in the hopes for a peaceful resolution, but with the clear understanding that war is almost inevitable. This section of the Declaration also notes the attempts that had been made to peacefully work things out as many of the Americans still felt that England was their brother and had appealed to more prominent people among the British. Still to their utter disappointment and their requests the colonies remained ignored and unsuccessful. Declaration of Independence • The Conclusion In conclusion, the representatives of the United States of America and the people of the colonies had seen existent conditions that required a change in government structure and policy. The conclusion states that "these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown. ? The conclusion of the Declaration also contains the core of Lee's Resolution that had been passed on July 2. • A summary of the Declaration of Independence will always take something away from the true words written by Thomas Jefferson, but will give you an idea of what the declaration is about. Bill of Rights • In the United States, the Bill of Rights is the name by which the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are known. They were introduced by James Madison to the First US Congress in 1789 as a series of articles, and came into effect on December 15, 1791, when they had been ratified by three-fourths of the States. The Bill of Rights • 1 Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition. • 2 Right to keep and bear arms in order to maintain a well regulated militia. • 3 No quartering of soldiers. • 4 Freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. • 5 Right to due process of law, freedom from self- incrimination, double jeopardy. • 6 Rights of accused persons, e.g., right to a speedy and public trial. • 7 Right of trial by jury in civil cases. • 8 Freedom from excessive bail, cruel and unusual punishments. • 9 Other rights of the people. • 10 Powers reserved to the states. Amendments • 11th1795 Citizens cannot sue states in federal courts. There are some exceptions. • 12th1804 Changed the way the President and Vice President are elected. • 13th1865 Ended slavery in the United States. • 14th1868 Every person born in the United States is a citizen. States must follow due process of law before taking away any citizen's rights or property. • 15th1870 A citizen's right to vote cannot be taken away because of race or the color of their skin. • 16th1913 Congress can put a tax on income. • 17th1913 The people will elect Senators. Before this, Senators were elected by state legislatures. • 18th1919 Made a law against drinking alcohol, called Prohibition. • 19th1920 Gave women the right to vote. • 20th1933 Changed the days for meetings of Congress and for the start of the President's term of office. • 21st1933 Ended the Prohibition law of the Eighteenth Amendment. States can make laws about how alcohol is used in each state. • 22nd1951 A person may not be elected President more than two times • 23rd1961 Gave the people in the District of Columbia the right to vote for President. • 24th1964 Made it illegal to make anyone pay a tax to have the right to vote. • 25th1967 Changes what happens if a President dies, resigns, or is not able to do the job. Says what happens if a Vice President dies or resigns. • 26th1971 Makes 18 years old the minimum age for people to be allowed to vote • 27th1992 Limits how Congress can increase how much its members are paid. Constitution- Preamble • Preamble • The Preamble says: – We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. • The Preamble is not a law. It gives the reasons for writing the Constitution. The Preamble is one of the best known parts of the Constitution. The first three words, "We the people," are used very often. There are six intensions-they are the goals of the constitution. • [change] Legislative power Constitution- Article 1 • Article One: says that the U.S. Congress (the legislative branch) will make the laws for the United States. Congress has two parts, called "Houses," the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Article says who can be elected to each part of Congress, and how they are elected. • The House of Representatives has members elected by the people in each state. The number of members from each state depends on how many people live there. Each member of the House of Representatives is elected for two years. The Senate has two members, called Senators, for each state, no matter how many people live there. Each Senator is elected for six years. The original Constitution says that Senators should be elected by the state legislatures, but this was changed later. • Article One also says how the Congress will do its business and what kinds of laws it can make. It lists some kinds of laws the Congress and the states cannot make.
