on LAN networks? There has been a long and ongoing controversy over whether NetBEUI is better in LAN environments than TCP/IP. Most of the reasons for the controversy seem to stem from the fact that NetBEUI is non-routable -- i.e., it's designed to work in a LAN rather than a wide-area network like the Internet and, therefore, has less overhead.
The truth is that the difference in overhead on a well-tuned system is not major enough to justify keeping NetBEUI around. There are also problems that can arise with having both NetBEUI and TCP/IP on the same system, especially if an application mistakenly tries to encapsulate NetNEUI into TCP/IP (which just slows everything down). NetBEUI is also no longer installed by default in Windows systems, and may not be supported any longer in the near future. The best thing to do is just use TCP/IP in a fast network environment -- i.e., use a 100-megabit full duplex switch -- and not use NetBEUI, as it tends to create or preserve more problems than it solves in the long run.

When your feet have been in these for the recommended time, you just slide them off nice and easily. You don't have to wash your feet as they aren't left greasy. The essential oils will have absorbed perfectly into your skin. It really sucks it in. Your feet won't feel as if they have anything on but they will be so unbelievably wonderful and soft. The hard skin on the bottom of my feet had virtually dissappeared and the blisters were much better in appearance. These smoothed any dry and hard flakey bits and generally improved the appearance of my feet. They appeared healthy and radiant and I just can't get over how soft they were, they were just like a baby's bottom - it was fantastic. The results last too, they will last for several days, but you need to try and regularly use them for optimum results and to keep your perfect feet up. After just several uses of these, my feet looked perfect, well as perfect as they could. I had no hard skin at all, my feet looked amazing!Christine, Norway
These are perfect for people who don't have time to look after their feet but still want them to look presentable, they are the perfect lazy way to gorgeous feet. They leave your skin as soft as a baby's bottom and revitalised. I would definately recommend these, I wouldn't be without mine.

Advances in portable computing through applications such as enhanced video, imaging and graphics performance and the ability to perform continuous non-invasive health monitoring are essential to making portable devices platforms for productivity and healthcare as well as entertainment. The high computational complexity of such applications necessitates system level innovations - including algorithms, architectures and circuit design - to enable "Moore's Law" for energy-efficiency. This presentation discusses two portable computing applications - a reconfigurable processor for computational photography and a portable platform for medical imaging.
Computational photography applications have so far been software based, which adds significant complexity and does not support real-time processing. The reconfigurable processor implements High Dynamic Range imaging, Low-Light Enhancement and Glare Reduction. Power reduction techniques at all stages of the design, including algorithmic optimizations, highly parallel architecture and circuit design for low-voltage operation, significantly enhance energy-efficiency compared to software implementations on recent mobile processors, while enabling real-time processing.
Advances in computational photography and computer vision, coupled with efficient processing on portable multimedia devices, provide a unique opportunity for portable medical imaging. Extending and enhancing computer vision techniques, such as level set method based image segmentation, feature detection and registration, enable a portable platform for skin lesion detection and progression analysis of skin conditions. Algorithmic innovations pave the way for efficient hardware implementations for medical imaging.
Rahul Rithe received the B.Tech. (Honors) degree in electronics and electrical communication engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, in 2008, and the S.M. degree in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA, in 2010, where he is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree. He received the best B.Tech. thesis award at IIT Kharagpur in 2008 and the best S.M. thesis award in electrical engineering at MIT in 2010. His research interests include low-power integrated circuits and energy-efficient algorithms and architectures for portable multimedia applications. Mr. Rithe was the recipient of the President of India Gold Medal and the MIT Presidential Fellowship in 2008.

NASCAR gives the owners "dibs" on their numbers. I do not know if they have to pay for them or whatever, but if you have run it, you get first right of refusal for the next season. They have stood pretty solid by that for some time. They do not retire numbers. For example Richard Childress still "owns" the #3, made famous by some guy. He says he wants it, NASCAR lets him have it and he does not run it in the Cup series.... An odd arrangement, but one that helps in the RG discussion.
When Danica came into the sport, RG was still signed onto the #7. They asked him about it, and he told them to pound sand, he was still racing. So they took up with the 10. RG finally hung up the full time NASCAR deal and told NASCAR he was not going to field a car with the 7 on it; it was free to fly.
Blaney put together a deal for a car and the #7 was his fathers Modified number, or his team owner's fathers number, or whatever and the deal stuck. The current #7 font is a throwback to that Modified car from whenever and wherever.
Danica and whoever had already started in with the 10....

By Jordan Hall (ApocaRUFF)
In an attempt at keeping in line with the "sail" theme of this latest Closed Beta, I figured I could put together a bit of a guide on the various ships in ArcheAge. Personally, the sea-side of things is what I love most about ArcheAge. There's only one other MMO that I've played that has anything that comes close to ArcheAge, and that was Darkfall. There's just something fantastic about being able to see a massive galleon on the shore and knowing you can hop on it and sail around and possibly do some pirating. This is what online gaming freedom looks like.
The first ship you'll come across will, more than likely, be a rowboat. This is because, early on, you'll be getting one for a quest. The neat thing is, you get to keep the boat so you'll get your own ship early. The downside, though, is that the rowboat is incredibly slow and can be too annoying to use once you've been spoiled by a speedboat. It's not useful for much, and you'll probably only use it on rare occasions.
Chances are, you'll run into one of these being pulled along the land at some point.
Next is the Clipper, sometimes referred to as the speedboat as it's pretty much the fastest ship in the game. It's small and comes in two variants. One with a harpoon and one with a canon. Generally speaking, the harpoon variant is much better – though both are useable and fun. Chances are you've seen a Harpoon Clipper pulling itself along the land at some point.
It'll cost you fifty Gilda Star for the blueprints to build. The resource requirement is fairly low, the lowest out of all the built ships, I believe. Generally, everyone will get one of these within the first month or so of their playing so don't be surprised when you find this is the most common ship in the game within a week of release. The deck space, which allows for a decently sized number of players to be aboard, combined with its speed and versatility make it a favorite for trade-runs and pirating.
Referred to as the Cutter for the West and Lutesong Junk for the East, but also known collectively as "Galleons," this ship is the backbone of any player navy. They're kind of difficult to make, so a lot of Galleons are the result of collaboration between guilds and families. With a dedicated family, you can probably get your hands on the Gilda Star required to purchase the blueprints in a relatively short amount of time. The resources required, while a lot more than a Clipper, aren't too difficult to gather.
Personally, I like the look of this ship more. But I do miss the crow's nest in the Cutter.
Similar to the Clipper, the Galleon comes in two variants, commonly referred to as the "West" and "East" variants. They both have similar stats – large size, eight cannons (four on each side), some extra cargo space. However, the West variant has a more Western design, while the East variant has a more Eastern look to it. Other differences include the buffs and abilities available to the ship. Also, the Eastern ship has a drum that can be used, while the Western has a set of bells. Oh yes, and the Western variant has a crow's nest and the ability to climb the main mast, while the Eastern variant does not have either.
And let's not forget the pirate variant that is about the same as the other two. It can be a lot more difficult to get it, though, as you don't use Gilda Star to get the blueprint.
Each box can hold one trade-pack, for a total of twenty.
The Merchant ship, sometimes referred to as the Trade ship, is probably the most important ship in terms of doing trade-runs. Any group of players is going to want to get one eventually. It has a plethora of space for trade-packs, which means very few players can transport a large number of packs. It also has a bit of protection in the form of one cannon on either side of the ship, as well as a radar similar to the one that can be found on the Galleon, that helps with evading potentially hostile ships long before a confrontation begins.
Honestly, though, if a couple of harpoon Clippers were to go at a merchant ship they wouldn't have a hard time catching up to it. This is why you often see them being escorted, usually by Clippers of their own or even by Galleons when it comes to the larger guilds. The resource requirement is kind of similar to the Cutter, but it requires four-hundred Gilda Star's. A hefty investment for a ship that can give you a much larger reward.
Next up is the Fish-Find Longlinger. This is a ship dedicated to fishing. It's similar in size to the Cutter's, and costs about the same in both resources and Gilda Star. I honestly don't know much about this ship, as my only interactions with it are in mirage. I've heard a lot of good things about ArcheAge's fishing system, so I'm guessing this will provide a nice ship for those who wish to partake in that profession.
I do know that it comes equipped with harpoons, a "fish finder," and a few trade-pack slots. As far as I've been able to find, it's the only fishing boat currently available.
Looks pretty neat, in my opinion!
The next (and last that is currently available to players) vessel I wish to bring up is the Lapis Steamfish Submarine. I know even less about this than what I know about the Longliner. It stands to reason that it's meant to be used for deep-sea adventuring. There's a lot of stuff hidden under the sea in ArcheAge, including treasures, ancient ruins filled with sea-mobs, and even some unique mining opportunities. They may also come in handy while tending to your Aquafarm, if you have one. They look to be a two-seater, so there's that. It can be equipped with special equipment, such as an air cannon, to give it different abilities.
There's also a Luxury Yacht commonly referred to as a "party boat." This is basically a large ship meant for nothing but having fun and showing off your wealth in the world. At this point, however, I'm unsure as to whether or not it will be available to players. I did not find a place to purchase the design for one, but there is one in mirage you can go and play on (but not drive). It looks pretty awesome, though. Other ships I did not find, though I know exist in other versions of ArcheAge, are the Swan Love Boat and the Smugglers' Rowboat.
Q: How can I get the Gilda Star used to purchase ship blueprints?
You can get Gilda Star by doing quest, but also from doing things like Trade Runs.
Q: Where do I buy the blueprints?
You can find them all in Mirage – look for the blue portals.
Q: Can I try before I buy?
Yes, you can find all of these ships in Mirage. You're able to test drive and make use of almost all of the ship, as well. Unfortunately, there's only one of each so it can be difficult to find one at times.
Q: Can my ship be destroyed?
Yes, but it can be repaired. Of course, depending on the ship, this may be inexpensive or quite expensive.
Q: Can someone steal my ship?
Yes and no. Yes in that they could jump on your ship and then drive away with it if certain criteria are met. No in that it'll eventually despawn (or, if your ship isn't in combat, you can manually despawn it). So it'll only be a temporary problem as long as the person taking your ship doesn't destroy the ship before it despawns.
Q: How do cannons work?
They use a targeting system similar to targeted player moves. You will also need Steel Ammo (cannon balls).
Q: Should I get a Cannon or Harpoon Clipper?
Personally, I would say Harpoon. The cannon on the clipper is basically useless after the first week or two of the server. While the harpoon can continue to be useful and fun for quite a long time. That's just my personal opinion, though.
There are a lot of sea-faring vessels in ArcheAge. There's one to fill almost every role you could dream of. From the small and fast Clippers, to the large and bulky Cutter and Lutesong Junk. It's this large versatility that makes the sea-side of ArcheAge so much fun to participate in. It almost seems like a game on its own with all the content available. Hopefully this has been a good insight on the various ships found within ArcheAge.

The U.S. Coast Guard is planning to relocate a national supply center from Brooklyn, N.Y., to Anne Arundel County early next year to be closer to the Curtis Bay Coast Guard Yard, county officials announced yesterday.
The Coast Guard General Supply Facility Office is to move to Glen Burnie in February.
It is expected to employ between 170 and 200 workers, about 100 of whom will be military.
County officials could not say how many new jobs the center would bring to Anne Arundel, and Coast Guard officials failed to return several calls.

Thanks, and yeah, I'm really looking forward to that moment, when the Chevelle is ready to race. Dad will drive few races first, then I will drive my license and then we can fight about who is driving the rest of those races. Here are few pics of the Chevelle-project: http://tapahtumakuvi...evelle Stocker/
And Wow, '64 Dodge would be very cool Stocker too, what engine is it running? Can't wait to see when you start building replica of it.
You managed to get me going again with my E/Stock Torino project.... I'll post few pics soon.
That Chevelle looks solid, not too much rust! Very cool project
My brother has a 426 Max Wedge is his '64 Dodge. Here's a pic of his car
I have most of the stuff needed to build the replica, I just need to work on the decals and find someone with an ALPS printer that could print them, because of the gold color...
I will be watching your Torino build!

The Oregon Senate passed Wednesday on a bipartisan 19-10 vote a bill that would make smoking in a motor vehicle with a driver or passenger under 18 a traffic violation.
"We have a responsibility to keep Oregon's children safe from exposure to smoke, which causes health problems like severe asthma and respiratory infections," said Senator Elizabeth Steiner Hayward (D-Portland), chief sponsor of the bill and a family physician. "SB 444A is an important step to protecting children from the negative, sometimes lifelong impacts of secondhand smoke."
According to the American Lung Association, infants and young children are especially vulnerable to secondhand smoke while their lungs are still developing. When a smoker lights up in in the enclosed space of a car or truck, secondhand smoke can reach concentrations up to 27 times more potent than concentrations when smoking in a home.
"Children have very little control over the small space inside of a car, and it's a huge health problem when that space fills up with smoke," said Senator Rod Monroe (D-Portland), who authored Oregon's original Clean Indoor Air Act in 1981. "It is up to us to protect our children's health, and with SB 444A we can prevent long- lasting health effects from unsafe secondhand smoke."
Current Oregon law prohibits smoking in cars that transport foster children, as do the laws of 16 other states.
Four states have enacted laws to protect minors generally from secondhand smoke in motor vehicles, as have Puerto Rico and Guam. The Senate Bill (SB 444A) would make smoking in cars with minors a Class D traffic violation enforceable only as a secondary offense, meaning that law enforcement officers would need to initially stop a vehicle for a separate traffic offense.
Repeat offenses would be a Class C traffic violation.
"Senate Bill 444 is about preventing significant health problems and creating healthy environments for children," said Senate Majority Leader Diane Rosenbaum (D-Portland). "We take children's health very seriously, and this legislation can prevent a lifetime of health problems from the consequences of secondhand smoke. Not only is it the right choice for kids, but it will produce savings in health care over the long run."
Senate Bill 444 will now go to the Oregon House of Representatives for consideration.

Press ReleaseTuesday November 21, 9:47 am Eastern Time
SOURCE: AT&T Labs
FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- We're six weeks away from 2001 and still no flying cars. But thanks to AT&T Labs, computers are really talking. You can see for yourself in ``Red Planet,'' the new Warner Brothers movie that opened everywhere on November 10.
``Red Planet'' is about a mission to Mars in the year 2050. In this vision of life half a century from now, spaceship computers -- and even space suits -- talk.
``It shows you how far technology has come that the producers didn't need special effects to give computers their voices. They had a real, working, system from AT&T Labs, '' said Juergen Schroeter, Division Manager, Speech Processing Software & Technology, AT&T Labs.
Lucille, the on-board computer in the movie's Mars I spaceship, speaks using the latest female voice from AT&T Labs text-to-speech system. The crew's space suits speak using the latest male voice from the system.
AT&T Labs' system is different than others because of the life-like nature of its speech. Researchers created large speech databases recorded from human talkers. The synthetic speech has a close-to-natural quality. AT&T Labs has been a leader in speech technology for more than 30 years. ``We think speech technology is strategically important to AT&T,'' said Schroeter. ``As devices continue to shrink, people will be using their voices to dial wireless phones, ask questions of information systems and surf the Internet. And maybe even talk to their space suits.''

National business briefs
uis branch of Wachovia Securities LLC $1.4 million for failing to deliver certain prospectuses and product descriptions to clients. The customers bought select investment products between July 2003 and December 2004. The company was also fined for supervisory failures but did not admit or deny the charges. FINRA found that Wachovia didn't provide prospectuses in 6,000 out of about 22,000 transactions that occurred between the 2003-2004 timeframe. The transactions' market value was about $256 million. Prospectuses were not delivered for various reasons, including coding errors and failing to make sure vendors performed the proper deliveries. At the time of the failures, Wachovia Securities was a subsidiary of Wachovia Corp., which was bought by Wells Fargo & Co. last fall.
AIG gives stake to reduce loanNEW YORK — American International Group Inc. said Thursday it will reduce outstanding federal loans by $25 billion by giving the government a preferred stake in two units that will be spun off from the insurance giant. AIG is placing two life insurance subsidiaries — American International Assurance Co. and American Life Insurance Co. — into special purpose vehicles ahead of planned initial public offerings. SPVs are entities sometimes set up ahead of the spinoff or sale of a unit to separate its operations from the parent company. As part of the preferred stake plan, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will receive preferred interests in the SPVs which will eventually be independent companies once a public offering is completed.
Kimberly-Clark cuts 1,600 jobsCHICAGO — Household-products maker Kimberly-Clark Corp. said Thursday it plans to cut 1,600 jobs, or 3 percent of its global work force, as it slims down in the tough economy. The maker of Kleenex tissues, Huggies diapers and scores of other household items employs 53,000 people around the world. It plans to make the cuts primarily among salaried and nonproduction workers. Executives said the company doesn't plan to close any plants. Profits at Kimberly-Clark have fallen for the past 18 months, as shoppers cut back on spending because of the recession, high unemployment and the housing downturn. Meanwhile revenue, which had been steadily rising, began to fall late last year. From Wire Reports

INTELLIGENT design (ID) is not just bad science, it is bad religion, says Francisco Ayala, and he should know: he once trained for the Catholic priesthood, and is now an evolutionary biologist. This sensitive book is an attempt to do what many - Richard Dawkins on one side, the pope and creationists on the other - say cannot be done. It tries to find a place for natural selection in religious explanations of the world. Darwin is a friend to religion, Ayala says, because his theory lets God off the hook: dysfunctions and disease were not designed by God, they evolved, and evil is just part of the natural order. ID is bad theology because it requires an "evil" God. As gentle as Dawkins is inflammatory - but less stimulating - Ayala may perhaps release more ID proponents from their erroneous views.

Today Nintendo announced that its Game Boy Advance SP portable gaming system will retail for $79.99 effective almost immediately--as of Thursday, September 2. The new price point is about $20 less than the system's current price, which has remained fixed since the GBA SP's debut in March of last year.
Nintendo stated that the new pricing strategy will coincide with the launch of the company's new "Start Mayhem" marketing campaign, in which various available colors of the Game Boy Advance SP will be associated with various different types of personalities. The goal of the price drop and the campaign is to further broaden the system's audience.
The new pricing strategy arrives just days before next week's release of the highly anticipated next installments in the Pokémon franchise, Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen. To date, more than 20 million Game Boy Advance SP units have sold worldwide.

Losi's 1/36-scale series of vehicles cram a ton of performance into a very small package. From the 1/36-scale Raminator to the Micro-T and Micro-Desert Truck you have a number of different options if you're looking for a ton of fun. One of the easiest ways to add speed and performance to your truck is to add one of Losi's 1/36-scale brushless systems. Due to the design of the stock receiver and ESC you'll need to take a few extra steps to perform this conversion. Never fear as this is actually a relatively easy process that we're going to run through for you.
Items Required for this Conversion:
Losi 1/36-scale Brushless System
Losi 27MHz AM Receiver and 3-wire Servo Combo
Optional Items for this Conversion:
Losi Micro Screw Driver
Spektrum SR3500 Micro Receiver
I am not going to go through the detailed disassembly and re-assembly process here; that's all covered in both the manual and the video. However, there are several tips I'll share with you.
You're going to be working with a ton of tiny screws throughout this process and keeping track of them can be a challenge.The Losi Micro-Car Stand and Parts Tray can make keeping track of your parts and screws that much easier.
If you're willing to add a brushless system to your truck, I'm hoping you have upgraded to full ball bearings. The plastic bushings that support the wheels simply aren't up to the task. Do yourself a favor and spend a couple bucks on the bearing set. I promise you won't regret it.
The stock gears can hold up to the abuse the stock motor and ESC hand out with relative ease, but the torque of a brushless motor will place more stress and strain on these tiny gears. You can extend the life of your gear train by properly adjusting your slipper clutch.

Results tagged "interview" from one management blog
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Your character makes her first appearance on the Vikings season finale. Tell us about her.
ALYSSA SUTHERLAND: Yeah, Aslaug. The first thing to know about her is she's the daughter of Brynhildr, who was a famous shieldmaiden. It's a pretty famous story. I won't go into the depths of it, because it's her mum's story. So she has this famous shieldmaiden mother, and she's a pretty strong woman and very smart as well. And when she hears that Ragnar is around her side of town, she's quite intrigued by him.
Had you seen the show before signing on to play Aslaug?
No, I hadn't seen it. They were still filming everything, when Aslaug came up. They did give me a few scripts to read through and I was aware of it as well. I kind of consider myself a rookie amongst all of these actors on set. It's still a fairly new world to me, to have a bigger part. You know, from the get-go, I'm always really excited if a role comes along. [laughs] The fact that it was Michael Hirst was just unbelievable to me. Elizabeth is one of my favorite films, and I'm so in awe of what he does. He writes everything himself, which I just think is, I just think he's quite the man. I mean, how do you say no to that? And when I read it, she sounded really mysterious to me and hopefully that's what's going to come across. It's pretty cool to be able to really get into a character like that when it's one of the first things that you do. It doesn't come along very often, I think, for actors and actress to be able to work with someone, early on, that you admire so much. Every time I see him [Hirst] my knees are shaking a little bit, I think.
Hirst is kind of a master of historical fiction, after Elizabeth and The Tudors. Was there a lot of research involved for you or was it all right there on the page?
You walk onto the set and it's just all there. You feel like a Viking, you know? Even with the exteriors that don't have to be dressed as much, the scenery and locations are just so insane in that part of the world. I'm so glad I got to go and see it. It's really easy to be able to imagine yourself as this person, living their life. It's pretty awesome. You don't have to work very hard ... well, that sounds bad. [laughs] I do work very hard. What I mean is, it's just sort of an easier thing to be able to get into, I think, when you're surrounded by all that. They just went to such great lengths to make everything as historically accurate as possible with the sets and the costumes. When I first got there and had wardrobe fittings and saw the Viking outfits that they had and I went into makeup and I saw the wall of spears they had, I mean it was just insane.
Can you tell us anything about the second season, which begins filming this summer?
The scripts are still being written. You know what, even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to tell you. But the scripts are being written and I have no idea. ...There will be a few loose ends that need to be tied up, how's that? There are some things left hanging. There are cliffhangers, how does that sound?
What kind of cliffhangers?
Aslaug is certainly really attracted to Ragnar. At this point, legend of him has started spreading, he's gone west [to England], he's this great warrior and also an incredibly intelligent person at the same time. So when I come across him, I am very attracted to him and he seems quite attracted to me too. I don't think I can tell you a whole lot more than that. [laughs] There's a level of attraction, I think, and there's a sort of matching of minds that goes on. And for the rest of it, people are just going to have to watch and find out.
The season finale of Vikings airs Sunday at 10 p.m. ET on History. click here to watch the video
Byrdie Bells, West Village
Derek Blasberg You loved this hat, didn't you?
Byrdie Bell Hats are a forgotten accessory in America - almost antiquated. It makes me appreciate the English, who still take pride in hats, gloves and handbags. That said, one thing Americans haven't forgotten are shoes. You'd be hard pressed to find a woman here who doesn't look after the Louboutins she's coughed up a small fortune for.
DB You were excited to reenact some 1970s glamour: Is there anything about that era that like?
BB The fashion! I was just watching Chinatown and found myself bewitched by the immaculate polish of Faye Dunaway. To me that character defines socialite style.
DB What's your favorite film from that era?
BB Where do I begin? American Graffiti, the Last Picture Show, Amarcord... I would have loved to make movies in the Seventies!
DB Which 70s icon would you most likely identify with?
BB Jerry Hall! She is so awkwardly chic... equal parts patriciate and iconoclast.
DB I've always thought I would have loved Studio54. Would you have been down with that vibe?
BB Absolutely. My mother saved some press clippings from when she was a girl about town in the Seventies and I make her tell me stories about what it was like. My favorites are the ones about Studio 54. It sounds so guiltless and joyful.
DB Your mom lives in Greenwich now. Do they were hats there?
BB Unfortunately, they do not. I keep hoping to catch a commuter train out to Greenwich and see men in real fedoras carrying leather briefcases like out of an old Frankheimer film - but it never happens. There are plenty of baseball caps though.
CM: Kayt Jones, a name that always guarantees a happy model at the end of a shoot day. Not once have I had a girl come off your set that does not immediately sing your praise...what's your secret?
KJ: I really enjoy what I do. I feel that I'm really lucky to work in the field that I do. There's really no need for it to be anything other than fun.
CM: Over the past few years in Fashion we've seen one magazine Cover after another titled "Fashion + Art issue". It makes you wonder if it is simply that the two organically grew together, or if it's that Fashion has developed a greater need for Art amongst its ingredients...what's your take on this one?
KJ: I think Art has moved dramatically closer to fashion. Fashion has always been influenced by art. Personally I don't think they have ever been very far away from each other. As long as there has been fashion there's been an artist to capture it.
CM: One of my favorite things about working with you aside from the brilliant results is the fact that you are quite collaborative and interactive on your projects...your creative energy seems to come from a place of passion and genuine excitement that is void of any ego...where do you think you inherited such a quality?
KJ: One of the things I really love about working with you is the fact that you're so collaborative and interactive! At the end of the day the image is the result of the combined energies of everyone involved.
CM: Thank you Ms Jones! There goes that void of any ego tone of yours again..(laughs). Everyone has that favorite story that inspired them in the beginning, or maybe the most creative people find new stories that give them new inspiration on a regular basis...what particular Cover or Story has inspired you in the present or even drawing upon times past...
KJ: One of the earliest moments I remember being inspired - I think I was a child - was seeing Nick Knight working. He had two models, one in a white headscarf and one in a black headscarf, and he was literally moving the models millimetre by millimetre to get the right shot. The graphics, the precision, everything was beautiful. Nowadays my style is very different from his, but the memory is very strong.
CM: I've been told by sources who shall remain nameless, that model agents can be somewhat agressive, pushy or even without any sense of culture...I know that you are too sweet to say but I'll ask you anyway..what's your take on the "bookers" of the world... Is our rep really so bad on your side of it all?
KJ: What is amazing is you work like a manager - you are really involved in the production and have a genuine passion to see it through to completion.
The more positive energy there is invested in the project the better.
Also you also have a "can-do" positivity and creative attitude that I love that really helps pull off the seemingly impossible, you really work to interpret the overall vision of the project.
CM: You are too kind for words, and yes, I do agree..the more positive energy invested in a project is quite surely more promising of a great outcome.. One of my favorite aspects of your work is your ability to capture an aspect of each individual girl...never leaning too much towards the contrived character but instead using the girls own personality and individual beauty as the base of your photographs.....who is your Favorite Goddess? (I.e Aphrodite, Freja, Brigit, Isis, Lakshmi, Diana)
KJ: I love the mythology of Juno - her name is derived from an ancient word for "vital force" - that says it all to me. As far as each individual girl goes, for me their personality is the basis of the photographs. Their energy, their stillness, their inner light, you are playing on everything when you shoot. Models are a lot like actresses, playing a role when they are shooting, but nevertheless you look for their special characteristics to really build on.

CM: So True...It seems a good amount of models, photographers etc have been taking up residence in LA more and more..Has living there forced you to travel more for shoots? Or have you been lucky enough to bring most of them to you?
KJ: I do travel a lot of course but I love LA so where possible I shoot there, I never get bored of the sunshine or the particular quality of the light!
CM: Just as the theatrics seem to be returning to the runway, what show do you usually end up being the most inspired by?
KJ: I love theatrics - the joy of fashion is for me all in the imagination and the chance to recreate dreams and escape "reality". Of course as a Brit, i love that London is coming back strong and has a great new venue.

Q. When I think Josh Olins, aside from the obvious talent and sharp aesthetic that has become your brand, I also envision group shots that always seem to be executed with a rare precision...is that something you personally love or the result of including all of the required advertisers in the story?
Group shots have become an integral part of my work since I was first commissioned by Another Magazine to shoot a story for their main well with Joanna Schlenzka. For me it wasn't anything to do with the advertisers but just a fresh and appropriate concept that would be a great challenge for me. I didn't realize at the time that it would lead onto so much more or that I would enjoy it so much. A lot of what I love in photography is composition and what better way to do that than fill your frame with multiple characters.
Q. UK born, NY based (sometimes) where do you attribute the greatest geographical source of your ideas to come from?
UK based mostly but NYC frequently. I guess as with anyone inspiration can come at home or abroad. NY can be like a movie for me which of course I find inspiring and I guess you get so used to what's on your doorstep sometimes that you need to step away from it to seek something new and exciting. My ideas are split between the two occasionally coming somewhere at 30,000 ft whilst traveling from A - B but I see things everyday that give me ideas.
Q. Surely the older sister's Solid reputation as a well respected Photo Rep had some influence on you growing up, what would you say are the most obvious traits that are perhaps the result of her influence..
I always tried to keep my distance from that side of her as I wanted to take my own path. But I do remember being petrified of showing her my pictures for the first time knowing how tough and brutally honest she could be and that she had built the careers of some of the most inspiring fashion photographers. Her advice was to start assisting immediately in order to get hands on experience. That was 10 years ago now, I was 19. I still seek her advice on a regular basis but am still reluctant to show her my pictures! Her advice and approval early on partly gave me the strength to persist and pursue my career. She's amazing! Regarding similar traits, I'd like to think that we share a similar taste and that we both put everything into our work.
Q. In times past you've inquired on who styled certain stories that I've sent you, and it's rumored that when working on a story you have your hands dipped in everything from hair&make up to styling and right down to the set itself...are you hiding an art director somewhere in your closet of talents as well?
I think it's called being a control freak and slightly OCD. I love every element of the shoot and of fashion photography, and all are as important as each other. I guess I can be hands on at times but that's because I want to push everything and everyone, as I push myself into creating something that offers a huge amount of satisfaction. The only way you improve is to constantly challenge yourself and try your hardest. I wouldn't say that I'm hiding an art director within just that I think it's the whole package that makes a successful shoot.
Q. I've been told you went to school for Photography, did you go all the way through to the finish or move on earlier than planned?
I studied and specialized in photography whilst on a one year art foundation course. I did then get accepted onto a further degree course but after showing a few people my work, namely Kim, I decided to take the assistant route. It seemed more suited to me.
Q. The Range of Photographers and their involvement with casting is so diverse a spectrum to look at, but it seems that you are quite on top of your game when it comes to who's doing what...how do you keep up with it all during a period where the turn over rates are through the roof?
I have to admit that I regularly look at models.com, thefashionspot and also follow the shows to see who does what. I've also worked with some great casting directors and stylists that also follow this as I do but as you say the turnover rates are crazy. At the end of the day I think that what's important about casting is that the person or people you decide to photograph fit the character idea for the story. Then it just comes down to who you can get a 1st option on. Casting can be a nightmare!!!!
Q. Professional Tennis Player to Fashion Photographer, how does that happen?
Well, a bit of bad luck really. I got a knee injury and the recovery time took too long. When I recovered (6 months later) things where not the same, so I quit.
I always had an interest in photography since I was a kid, and my father always had cameras lying around. When I finished school I started assisting photographers and realized that this was something I could really get into. For my first job interview I was asked if I could process and print B&W film, I said of course, even though I had never done it before. My cover was blown pretty fast, but my employee gave me a second chance. I spent all of my time processing film until I could do it blind folded. Then there was no turning back, even though now I miss tennis quite a lot. My friend who I used to train with before just won the Wimbledon in doubles for the second time in a row...
Q. I have always believed that people who've lived in the presence of other cultures prior to arrival in the big apple seem to have something extra, something different. Which for obvious reasons is why the majority of our industry is composed of people from all over the globe. As someone who grew up in Serbia, then Norway and eventually re located to the US, what has influenced you in regards to your creative edge or vision that you affiliate with your time spent in these other countries..?
The beauty of it is that it makes you a more open minded person. You accept things faster and you can adapt to other cultures faster. As a child I also lived in Australia, so for me it is very hard to identify where I am exactly from. I think the Serbian side goes very deep but is finely balanced with the very mellow Norwegian side. It definitely helps with the creative edge, since your background and history identify you as a person, which allows you to interpret and express yourself in a unique way.
Q. What do you find most attractive about fashion? It seems you can ask 100 different people this question and you will receive 100 different answers... as someone who has made a career out of capturing this business all in the magic of a moment on camera, I'm quite curious to hear your answer on this one..
What I like with fashion is that it has so many layers. It reflects society and again it can inflence a society. It gives you the freedom to interpret and create your own world in the collaboration of the designers, stylists, make up and hair artists. It is like being a kid who never grows up and you are never bored.
Q. It is the Tale of almost any successful fashion photographer to have assisted someone really big in the business prior to branching off on their own, it was your assisting Craig Mcdean that initially brought you to the city no? What do you think you learned most from working with him that we might see in your own work today..
I was very lucky to have assisted someone like Craig. He is one of the best photographers at the moment and he takes beautiful pictures. Before I started working with him I had no knowledge of the industry at this level, so he introduced me to everything. I guess the thing I learned the most from him that I always apply is to never give up until you are satisfied.
Q. Your one of the multi tasking family guy's who has managed to quite rapidly build a successful career in the business and yet you manage to maintain a family as both a Father and Husband. I've discussed this very same question with Nicoletta Santoro but it's no secret that women are better known for their ability to multi task. How have you managed to devote the time necessary to your rising career and to that of your own family?
Luckily I don't need much sleep! I am easily inspired and I really love what I do. I also have a wife that is fully supportive of me as a husband and a photographer, which makes things easier. You need to know your priorities and to divide the responsibilities. I guess structure is just as important especially when having 3 kids.
Q. Your beauty stories always contain very interesting make up decisions, how do you go about deciding who you work with for those elements of your team?
When I started I worked with the artist Vanessa Beecroft and was very impressed how she used make up in her art. It was always very refined but unexpected. It has influenced me a lot in how I perceive make up, I always want the girls to look beautiful, original and in a character. I usually work with the same team, which is helpful, since they know by now what I like and I know what to expect. I like creative people who are technically good, but have a sense of humor. I do like developing ideas with the people involved and am open for suggestions.
Q. What do you find to be the greatest benefit of the way our business has been effected by the 'crisis' ?
It has developed alternative ways for people to be creative. It is very exciting and fascinating and in the long term will be very influential in how the industry is perceived. I personally have gotten more involved in video and music than before.
Q. It seems French and Dutch girls have started to invade the territory once ruled by the Russian and Brazilian models, what's your take on such a change..?
Like anything else it is a cycle. It could also be a sign of the times. At this point I think the French and Dutch girls offer more of a deeper beauty and reflect what fashion is going through.
Q. Japanese Mother, Italian Father...two very strong cultural influences to be born of. What traits do you carry today that you would put in the column of your Father/Italian side vs. the traits you may associate more with being the influences of your Mother?
Both cultures are a big part of my life and work. I am east meets west....Spaghetti sushi!! From my Dad's Italian side I have picked up a love for tacky things but as well I love the glamour of it all and am a bit of a Romantic.. Due to my Mothers Japanese culture I have a huge collection of crazy toys and love for Japanese food.
Q. Just reading off your titles and credentials listed in the number of Publications where you are an editor or Creative director is quite exhausting, how is that you are able to consult for so many labels on top of these publications and then go on to style Celebrity?
I know, so crazy, right??!! I'm currently in Japan working with UNIQLO for few more days here, then going back to NYC to start working on the next issue of Vogue Hommes Japan...Thanks to my blackberry I am always up to date with everyone, everywhere, any time!! I have really great relationships with all of the magazines I work with, (Dazed & Confused, V Magazine, V Man, Another, Another Man and Vogue Hommes Japan) you can never be too busy for things!! I work hard and play hard....but traveling across so many time zones constantly could be tiring but its so much fun what I do.. I'm always so excited to visit new places! I recently started working closely with lady Gaga. My new fashion icon! My collaboration with her goes beyond the typical stylist/ celebrity relationship!
she is so into fashion that she needs to change so many times a day!! love it!!
Q. I was reading about your early days as a buyer in a retail store in London that stocked emerging young designers, was that a conscious choice over working for a store that carried more established brands? Or was the new designer aspect of the store simply a coincidental detail of where you ended up working at the time?
In my early 20s, I helped launch the store Pineal Eye in London. I came up with concept of selling merging young designers because there was nothing like that at the time, and it was what interested me most. We stocked one off things one couldn't get anywhere else. It was mostly pieces designed by my friends and people around me. Through Pineal Eye I got the opportunity to meet such talented designers as Hedi Slimane, Raf Simons, Gareth Pugh and Kim Jones.
Q. When you were scouted by Dazed&Confused who approached you offering a position as an editor for the magazine, you had never assisted any other stylist or had any real previous experience is that right? I'm quite sure that it was your lack of experience or the fact that you were never really influenced or molded directly by someone already set in their ways, that may have been one of the most enticing aspects of your raw talent... what do you think the difference is between your perspective now as oppose to what it may have been if you had spent sometime assisting someone established prior to your own debut?
I was so lucky, I was approached by Katy England and Alistair Mackie to be part of Dazed, then we all started working together under Jefferson hack's direction. It was so much fun! And it still is!! From the beginning they gave me complete freedom to decide what I was about, and what I believed in. I was truly able to do what I felt as there was never any fear of doing something wrong.
At the time I didn't even know a stylist existed, much less that it could be a real job!!! I just did what I loved, which was showcasing things I know around me. It's amazing to think that I haven't changed that much in this....to this day I am still doing what I love and what I feel strong about!!
I have never assisted another stylist however sometimes I wish I had...When I started I didn't know the technique of how to deal with other things like the politics of it all. When you do a shoot it's a collaboration with lots of other people, there are certain steps you have to go through to make it all come together. It was a double edged sword not knowing this at first, because on one had it made things a lot harder for me but on the other hand, if I would have known I probably would have been a lot more scared to do new things and take risks.
Q. I was reading in a previous interview when you were answering the question of 'what items are you saving up to buy' , that you look forward to being able to purchase more art one day... what type of Art is it that mostly captures your eye when wandering through a gallery?
It's just a little personal dream of mine to have very beautiful things in my surroundings.
Q. When I found myself looking at some of the more abstract pieces that you and Solve had done together it made me curious as to how you both conceived of the idea to shoot the images that way...essentially erasing the models right from the photo and replacing them with anything from a blue sky to a poke a dot pattern...
I'm so sorry about that! I am sure you at a model agency are not a big fan of those types of shoots, with the models face erased. With my work I am most interested in the final image, and if that is what has to happen then so be it. Though this is not the case in every project as I love to promote new faces and good models, so it all depends. Working with Solve, an outstanding image maker, always leads to something more surreal and exciting!
Q. This famous sketch book that you never leave the house without, what would one find while thumbing through the pages of that book? Words? Drawings? Pictures glued on to the pages within?
I just love having a brand new sketch book. I just like the book as an object. as soon as I mark up the first page I am ready for a new one. I have piles of empty sketch books lying around my flat with scribbles on the first page!!
Q. You've brought to the 'scene' a fresh perspective that comes from your own experience and genuine interest in various subject matter... if you had the ability to Influence the business today in any way you wanted..what is the greatest result you wish to achieve?
I like to give people something positive and fun, just pure love and if I can make money doing so then that's great. But it is very important for me to give back to people, which is why I like working with young creative designers and new models. The more successful I become the more I can give back, that's the way I see it.
Q. It seems to be a re occurring tale when talking to a photographer about their professional experience up to the point of entering the world of Photography that it was not always the first choice Career. Is it something that you've always known you wanted to do straight from school?
No, definitely not! I studied Industrial Design at college in Toronto. After a couple of years I dropped out & spent the next few years working & travelling. When I went back to school I studied whatever interested me. Mostly woodworking, ceramics, drawing & painting. I stumbled into photography though a friend. He showed me how to use the darkroom & I was hooked. After that I concentrated on photography.
Q. Your work has thus far seemed to continuously pop up in the world of cool kid culture, even your advertising falls under the creative fashion + art umbrella..As a new name in the business your brand seems to be in the making as we speak, how would you best describe it? Surely the public will go on to make their own assumptions and opinions but it's far more interesting to hear the intended perspective or vision straight from the source...
I can definitely see how my point of view had been developing over the past few years. I gravitate towards strength. Strong looks, strong light, etc. I think that's beautiful. Being a woman has also had a bigger impact on how I take pictures than I originally thought it did. When I'm taking pictures of a woman it's a very different perspective than that of a man. It's a different relationship that develops. It's a different intimacy. Obviously when you're taking a photograph there's a lot of your own personality that gets portrayed by your subject. I try to balance mine with whomever I'm photographing.
Q. Living in NY you have access to all of the model mayhem, do you take your casting idea's from a more spontaneous inspiration when conducting go sees? Or do you often times already find that you have a specific girl in mind at the moment a story is conceptualized?
Usually when I'm developing a story idea I know exactly who I want to shoot for it. That being said I tend to cast incessantly. It's become part of my working process and a way to keep me shooting constantly. I've recently done a self published book with a couple hundred of my casting pictures.
Q. You and your husband have been working together on some beautiful projects, it seems couple teams have become quite a prevalent force in the fashion world.. Do you think that the foundation of your personal relationship enables you to creatively work from a higher platform than when you work with someone you have no personal relationship with?
Definitely. Working with people you've built relationships with is very important. Not just photographer / stylist but hair, makeup, model, art director. It's a team thing that we do. There's a language that develops over time that comes from knowing eachother & working together. Plus it's more fun!
Q. Do you have a favorite photographer that perhaps may not represent your own aesthetic but has been the kind of obsession of yours through out your passion for photography?
That's a hard one. There are lots of photographers who's work I really respect but I think I'd have to say Robert Mapplethorpe. Not very original, but I loved his work before I knew anything about photography. I remember seeing his pictures of Patti Smith when I was a kid & wanting to steal the book from the library.
Q. If you were to start up your own magazine, what would be it's content...I feel like amidst all of the downsizing going on, a lot of creative people are yearning for a new outlet or project that may not be weighed down by the years of residual definition. So many magazine's brands have already been built and can leave a team feeling somewhat limited to the concepts their able to shoot, what would you like to see in the new fresh start of a magazine that perhaps isn't something we'd find in the current publications that exist now..
Starting a magazine sounds like way too much work!
Q. What is your favorite all time film ever made?
That's an impossible question! Here are a few off the top of my head:
Midnight Cowboy - John Schlesinger
Night of the Hunter - Charles Laughton
Hairspray - John Waters
Hannah & Her Sisters - Woody Allen
anything by Pedro Almodovar
Midnight Cowboy - John Schlesinger
Q. You've emerged quite beautifully and it seems that your pictures only ever appeared in great magazines, what was the secret to such a perfect launch?
••• Thank you honey! I think for me it has been about having a great agent and being fortunate enough to start working with Edward Enninful a few years back. The right stylist at the right time can change your career there is no doubt about it. I have a fantastic supportive network of people around me who give me great advice, like when to say no to certain things and not to spread myself thin. It's a bit cliche but I always believed in quality rather than quantity but it is also very hard when your starting out to say 'no' as you want to do everything that comes up and shoot as much as possible. But what you don't do is just as important as what you do. It's helpful to have people to remind of you of that.
Q. You once told me that it was your dream to shoot for Italian Vogue, and you are now shooting for them quite often, what's the next dream publication you wish to tackle?
••• A book of my personal work would be something I would love to do. I have a project I worked on for about 7 years, all on polaroid, all self portraits and abstracts, it's been tucked away for the last few years. I have also just started a project with Charlotte Stockdale too which we are both really excited about so we feel we might give that a good year to shoot in between fashion action but we want to exhibit the images when it's done.
Q. From following your stories I find you to have a very cinematic aesthetic, it's something I attribute to your incredible lighting, but also to the concepts you tend to execute..are you the creator of such ideas or do you find that most of the stories are a collaboration between you and the stylist your working with?
••• It's always a collaboration once you start discussing an idea with the editor your working with, whether it's something I bring or they do doesn't matter, once your 'into it' it belongs to the team. I tend to get really involved on every level but it is different with everyone and changes depending on the shoot. Collaborating is a huge part of the fun and inspiration for me. Lighting is another thing altogether and I love to light! I'm really into lighting that doesn't look labored which i guess gives a cinematic quality and i do find a lot of inspiration in cinema, the capturing of emotion, a tale to tell, to try and evoke a feeling even if it comes out abstract in the image.
Q. You live in both London as well as New York, do you find any differences in your inspiration and idea's between the two places or do you feel that your creative is without attachment to your current geographical location?
••• New York for me is about work and madness, London is more introspective and calm. I would have to say I think clearer in London but get crazy ideas out of New York. It took me so long to fall for London, there were many years of struggling to survive here that maybe my love for it is deeper, it won me over. But hey who wants one without the other!
Q. Eva Herzigova told us after shooting with you for Vogue Italia, that you had inspired her more than any other photographer had in sometime..Some would assume that it's your fresh point of view, what would you say the reason is?
••• Wow...that's such a huge compliment! Thank you Eva! I'm kinda lost for words now actually. She was an inspiration for me too, I loved watching her , her expressions, she is a strong beautiful intelligent woman with tons of charisma! We had such a great time on our shoot, I think it was just a meeting of minds and a great energy from the start. I didn't want to control her too much, with a model like Eva you shoot her for who she is, it's like working with an actress and to reign her in too much would feel wrong to me.
Q. What do you think about the Return of the Icons and Supermodels?
••• Bring it on! There is such a need and space for powerful experienced women in the industry who know themselves and are confident about who they are in the world. These things only truly come with time. Don't get me wrong there are young new girls out there who are fantastic but it's the way forward to mix it up more and show the full spectrum of what being a woman is about.
Q. What's an Emma Summerton girl?
••• She is a little weird, sexy, a bit tough, slightly mad and appreciates another women.
Q. You've recently made a habit out of shooting Janete Friedrich, aside from the obvious allure of her almost Art like beauty..what is it that you find so inspiring about her as a model?
•••There is something so weird about shooting Janete! She speaks hardly any english so the communication between us is very much about gestures, showing her a mood, and she just gets it and it's wonderful to watch. She is very 'in her body'...very comfortable, so i think she feels the picture because there is little verbal communication. Besides that she has a extraordinary beauty that is so refreshing, reminiscent of a silent movie actress, or a character from another time.
Q. I admire the fact that you refuse to own a blackberry and have managed to achieve your current success without succumbing to the demands of technology; I also share your habit of not watching much television but indulging in many movies. What is your favorite Film?
As far as not succumbing to technology goes, the blackberry is the only thing I'm loath to acquire, I'm not a luddite, I just find the constant demand to be available to answer questions by tapping away at a tiny screen, demeaning when someone could just pick the phone up and talk to me. My favourite film is a really hard one as there are so many. So in no particular order, here's a Top 10! (think yourself lucky I didn't do my Top 100....)
1. A Canterbury Tale, Dir; Powell & Pressburger.
2. A Matter of Life and Death, Dir; Powell & Pressburger.
3. Peeping Tom, Dir; Powell
4. The Mirror, Dir; Andrei Tarkovsky
5. Gallivant, Dir; Andrew Kotting
6. Fanny & Alexander, Dir; Ingmar Bergman
7. And the Ship Sails On, Dir Federico Fellini
8. Suspiria, Dir; Dario Argento
9. Jubilee, Dir; Derek Jarman
10. Performance, Dir; Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg
Q. You have recently embarked on the journey of making real one of your dreams, to open a British Folklore Museum..Something that you originally intended to be a plan that would unfold later on in life, what made you change your mind and decide to do this now?
There were many reasons behind starting the project sooner rather than later. About 18 months ago, a number of friends and acquaintances all seemed to be stricken with various illnesses that seemed to come like a bolt from the blue. There's nothing like spending time with a loved one in hospital to get you thinking about the bigger questions in life. What do we want from our remaining time here? What do we still want to achieve? Is there anything we want to be remembered for etc. My interest in Folklore and museums has been with me for as long as I can remember so events conspired to make me start the project sooner rather than later.
Working as a free-lance designer is wonderful and I wouldn't swap it for anything else in the world, but over the last few years I've found many clients and photographers have been getting increasingly safe in their outlook and work. The present financial climate has of course affected this. I was reminded of a scene from Tim Burton's film, 'Ed Wood'. The protagonist of the film, dispirited with a failing project, goes to a bar and there spies Orson Wells sat at a table on his own. Ed plucks up the courage to speak to the great man who gives him this advice. 'Visions are worth fighting for, why spend your life making someone else's dreams?' I wrote this down and pinned it to my notice board.
Q. I find myself to be someone who also appreciates and enjoys the history of England and it's ancient traditions, I'm curious to find out what it is that is most alluring about these Rites and Rituals for you, is this something that was common in your family growing up? Or more of a personal attraction. Never. Styling is like an out of body experience for me-and I kind of like that state! If anything it's the politics that makes it tiring...
I can't really say that there has been any direct family influence, my parents were antique dealers not Morris Dancers, but they both have a great love of the British countryside and particularly my Mother who was evacuated to Devon during the war. As children we would often spend trips exploring the UK and the history of an area would always be researched and relayed to us as children. My parents also had a copy of 'Folklore, Myths and Legends of Britain, published by the Readers Digest in the mid-sixties. Inside its black, embossed covers, was a rich and magical world of Stone Circles, Witches, Giants, Haunted Houses and Seasonal Customs. In many ways it engendered my life-long interest in the folklore traditions of these Islands. Over the years I've become increasingly involved with the customs themselves, not only going to witness them but also taking part when invited to do so. By their very nature, they are anti-authoritarian, anarchic and often downright dangerous. They represent a moment out of time, where the norms of existence are bent or forgotten. Bonfire Boys can carry burning crosses through the streets before burning the Pope in effigy, (Lewes, November 5th) men and women paint themselves green and cover themselves in flowers and leaves to honour the coming of summer, (Jack in the Green Festival, May), crowds of people can follow a madly cavorting Obby Oss through the streets of Padstow on May Day, singing a song unchanged for hundreds of years. With the museum project, I hope to highlight that our Folklore traditions are just as alive and relevant to people today as they were hundreds of years ago. Times change and the meaning may not be the same, but the music and the customs go on with new relevance.
Q. As my own obsession with art and it's importance in Fashion increases, I've become incredibly inspired and somewhat obsessed by the works of Certain photographers such as Tim Walker and Emma Summerton, both of which work quite frequently with you! It was only recently that I stumbled across the information that you were the creative genius behind these legendary sets that have found themselves on many a blogs as well as the wallpaper on my own computers. I would love to start with the over sized props of your Tim Walker sets, where did this style originate for you? What was it that initially inspired you to design the oversized objects concept?
Tim and I must have met over seven or eight years ago now. The first shoot we did together was for Italian Vogue and featured Camilla Rutherford passing through a magic mirror a little like Alice did. When we first met, we found that we shared a similar love of British History, Folk and Fairy Stories and what has been termed, English Magical Realism, as exemplified by the films of Powell Pressburger and Derek Jarman. The visual language that Tim uses in his images is drawn from many of these strands and the story of Alice in Wonderland may well have been the starting point for the over-sized prop idea. We found that the unreality of a gigantic camera, glass, book etc instantly gave the viewer an invitation to step through that magic mirror with us.
Emma is completely different and has her own very particular inner world. Again, we have found we both share a love of similar artists/books/films and there was a moment last year when Emma started to tell me about an incredibly obscure artist she loved. As she described her work I suddenly shouted, 'Vali Myers!!'. I have one of the only books on her work in my library and Emma even lives in her old apt in NYC.
Q. With all of the sets you design and build, surely it would be a shame to have it all go to waste..what happens with the objects after? Where is that large camera for example that was use for the story you did with Tim?
It often breaks my heart to consign the props I create to the skip, but sadly, with them being so large, there is little alternative. When I work in NYC I can call Materials for the Arts and have things dropped off to them. Sadly London has yet to set something like that up. I'm pleased to say though, Tim has been able to store many things and has then displayed them at exhibitions of his work. The camera is one such prop. Nick Knight is currently setting up a scheme at his new Show Studio home in W1, which will aim to offer to the public, items that have been used in shoots, which is a fantastic idea and a huge relief!
Q. What was your first break in this business? How did you start?
Between the ages of eleven and sixteen, I used to visit the Natural History Museum on a Saturday morning to attend a Young Naturalist's club. I should point out that it had nothing to do with nudism but everything to do with the study of the natural world. One of the things I ended up specialising in was the art of taxidermy. Many years later at Art School, I made what could be called jewellery or body sculpture and once I left college I continued to do so, refining the techniques and using more diverse materials such as precious metals and stones and notoriously, human sperm. Once they started appearing in shops the magazines at the time, such as I-D and the Face, reported on them and so the fashion industry became aware of them too. After several years of working in this way I became frustrated at the scale I was forced to work in, given that they had to be wearable and so started making more purely sculptural pieces. Around this time a fashion student from Central St Martin's wrote a very sweet letter asking if he could borrow any pieces I might have left for his degree show. Never having shown the work in this way, I thought, why not and loaned him 7 pieces. His name was Alexander McQueen. I later became his Art Director for seven years.
Q. What is your favourite Set ever designed to this day? Be it your own, or that of someone else...for a show, editorial or even perhaps an advertising job?
That's such a hard question. I used to love those mad over-blown shoots Steven Meisel and Peter Lindbergh did for Italian Vogue, about eight years ago, when it was so creative, having it's renaissance. Tim Walker of course has shown consistently that a good fashion story can be elevated beyond the norm by having inspiring sets and the work he now does with Shona Heath is stunning. A fashion show that I will never forget was a Dior Couture show, designed by Michael Howells at a Railway Station in Paris where a beautiful steam train pulled in to a platform covered in coloured sand and plants and disgorged the models. As far as my own work within the industry is concerned, a personal favourite would be the Untitled show for McQueen where I was allowed to turn the catwalk into a piece of sculpture, a glowing 60ft long structure made from low tanks of water which turned black when ink was pumped into them at a moment when there were no models on the catwalk. Then after some minutes, when the next girl did appear, a curtain of rain poured down for the final half of the show drenching them all. It was a great marriage between the set and the collection. Oh, and a party I did in a stunning private house in Florence where the hallways were forested and all the forest fruits, nuts, berries and mushrooms were all made from chocolate infused with flowers and the party last year for Hermes set in the grounds of an 18th century house which resembled an Indian Palace, where the guests visited Indian Gods in the ornamental gardens and then watched as a live horse painted pink transformed into a life-sized mechanical elephant..........
Q. What question have you never been asked in an interview that you've always wished someone would ask you...? If there is one...
Recently it would have to be, 'Would you like a cheque for 4.5 million for your museum project?'

With the aid of Facebook, U.S. federal investigators broke up a cybercrime ring which used a massive botnet to infect 11 million computers around the world and caused $850 million in losses.
The FBI said that Facebook aided them in the investigation by helping them to identify the root cause of the malware as well as the perpetrators according to a press released issued Tuesday.
The agency, in tandem with local law enforcement agencies around the world, arrested 10 people from Macedonia, Peru, Bosnia and Herzegovina, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, who were connected to the ring.
The perpetrators were responsible for the "Butterfly Botnet" and "Yahos" malware, which resulted in users' credit card information, bank account information and other identification information being stolen.
A botnet is a network of infected computers that can be used to launch coordinated cyber attacks such as denial of service attacks, which are used to breach websites and networks, or to send out a large number of spam emails. The botnet allows cyber criminals to use the infected computers remotely.
The Yahos malware targeted users from sometime in 2010 to October 2012, the FBI said. But variants of the malware have affected computers for several years now and are spread through Yahoo Messenger, AOL instant messenger, Skype, MSN chat services, and Facebook.
The malware spreads itself by sending links through disguised and sometimes poorly-worded messages such as "is this you on pic?" or "hahhahaha foto ," with an accompanying link to the website containing the virus.
In 2011, security firm FireEye noted that the Yahos malware started targeting Facebook and Myspace users in a similar manner, using Facebook's instant messaging service to send messages containing the virus to the user's friend list.
According to technology website Ars Technica, the Yahos virus was responsible for spreading the Butterfly Botnet. The botnet was then used to capture users' credit card and bank account information while they were using their Internet browsers.

iPhone HD (iPhone 4G) vs Droid Incredible vs EVO 4G vs Nexus One spec showdown!
Yes, it's completely useless and quasi pornographic to compare prototype and rumored specs for unannounced, unfinished devices like the iPhone HD (iPhone 4G) with specs from real, announced, and shipping or shipped devices like the Verizon Droid Incredible, Sprint EVO 4G, and Google Nexus One. But it's damn fun.
We've gone over the design, given our thoughts on the hardware, so now check out the above graphic for just such a spec showdown. Yup, Android Central's epic army (as composed by the one and only Phil Nickinson) goes one-on-one with the magical unicorn that might just be Apple's next iPhone. Network, operating system, screen sizes, processors, memory, storage, data speed, MicroSD, rear camera, video recording, front camera, second mic, Adobe Flash support, Bluetooth, WiFi, MiFI-like hotspot, GPS, FM radio, TV-out, size, weight, battery, price, and SIM card support are all covered.
So get your geek on, click up top, and let us know how you think these devices stack up!

iPhone HD (iPhone 4G) vs Droid Incredible vs EVO 4G vs Nexus One spec showdown!
so basically...the chart says you know absolutely nothing about the next gen iphone aaaaaand that's somehow supposed to be comparable to the phones on market/coming to market with known specs?
This is not only pointless but also....poinltess and non-informative
and one more thing...how many years are you guys gonna keep calling the next gen iPhone, the iPhone HD?? you really gotta let that go.
@SoCo_Jon: Exactly.
I like how under micro-SD card it says "Never"
hahahahha.. made me chortle.
I don't need to click it I would never get a droid phone NO THANKS it's a personal bias. Anyway I've seen the rumored, although seemingly very real next gen iPhone and I love it. I love the design, love the hardware enhancements:
Higher Res screen
Front facing camera
Higher Qaulity rear camera with FLASH(Thank you Apple)
Nice mute switch and buttons
Bigger removable battery
I am so sold it's not a case of if but really when, which was the same for me with the iPad. Which I still don't have by the way :(
@SoCo_Jon Just wondering if you didn't bother to read the
"Yes, it's completely useless and quasi pornographic to compare prototype and rumored specs for unannounced, unfinished devices like the iPhone HD (iPhone 4G) with specs from real, announced, and shipping or shipped devices like the Verizon Droid Incredible, Sprint EVO 4G, and Google Nexus One. But it's damn fun."
because if you did read that why state the obvious? Which was already said by the author.
I agree with iPheuria. If you bothered to read the introduction, you would see that the author prefaced the atricle by saying it's just meant for fun - it's not a real comparison. Anyway, obviously the biggest competitor to date looks to be the EVO 4G (at least until the next Android handset debuts - maybe next week?). I have a 3GS; and I'm definitely getting the new jump-off!
Cmon, Rene. The 960 x 480 should have 5000 question marks after it, because it is just speculation.
I don't know why stupid Gizmodo didn't just put the screen under a microscope, counted the pixels per cm, and extrapolated it out to give us a real number. Saying "It looked high resolution and we couldn't see any pixels" is lame.
Why does it say "None" about the SIM for Droid and Evo? They do work with SIM cards don't they? Is the MiniSIM the size most of us have in their phones?
And couldn't the battery specs have been converted into mAh to make it more comparable? I'm not sure if that's correct, but maybe it's about 1419 mAh?
@ pcdsim
The Droid Incred and Evo are CDMA only phones that are NOT world phones so there is no use for it becasue it does not have the capability to run on GSM networks..
the evo has 1GB of imternal memory=fail
I'm stoked. This is for fun. And I'm excited for the iPhone HD which I think is a real possibility for a name. Hoping for video out of the new iPhone somehow or another!
@CupertinoSweat, that's 1GB of Rom, the EVO will have 8 to 10GB of flash memory, as well as microSD up to 32GB. As to the so-called comparisons, this is pointless. Everything about the so-called new iphone is speculation. The fact some people do not know the EVO will have at least 8GB of flash memory, shows they're not in the know.
@ iPheurine... I did read the article and looked at the chart. So am i only one that read the "useless" part?? Useless it is so whats the use on posting an article like this? None what so ever. Comparing a phone like the EVO to the Nexus One and Incredible is of use because even though there is no release date the specs are known and you the comparisons are justified. You could have out the 3GS up there and got more views/comments or whatever. The fact that we not only have no clue on the specs but also dont know if this is actually going to be a released verison (even though it MIGHT very well be) makes it that much more pointless.
What was the point of that? Unkown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown
Rene et. al.
It's not what you've got, it's what you do with it - and it's not what you do, it's how that you do it.
Maybe the next Iphone will shoot laser beams out of the camera lens. I mean, if we're going to include stuff we have no idea in this "comparison" and are doing this just for fun, why not include the laser beams? I want laser beams, damn it. Hopefully they'll make an app for it.
See how useless this entire article this is? The "btw, this is just for fun" is just a way to say "don't call me an idiot because I already know I am one for making this entry."
This proves nothing but the blatant copying of the iPhone by HTC designers. Look how similar the EVO is to the iPhone 4G! Can't HTC for once not copy the iPhone? Proves that HTC are a bunch of lazy corporate dumbasses that don't innovate, but leech on Apple's success. They deserved to be sued to their last penny.
Almost everything is unknown! Quite useless comparison.
just received my HTC Incredible yesterday and it is absolutely better than the current 3GS, soo fast, super slick, Sense on 2.1 is awesome and super polished.
that being said I definitely expect Apple to up their game with the 4th Gen iPhone, the iPad (which I got on launch day and love) is super fast so i would expect the next iPhone to be comparable speed wise. and the front facing camera is going to be killer, thats the only complaint i have about the iPad is that it would be so awesome to be able to video chat over skype on my iPad, even if its wi-fi only it would be great.
@DongCat, that iphone 4g is a prototype. HTC didn't know what it looked like when they were making the phone. HTC innovates with all of their products. Without HTC, we would probably not be seeing the sudden surge of smartphones with amazing hardware. The only reason Apple is sueing HTC is because they can sue them without a fear of a countersuit because HTC is the youngest and therefore the most patent-poor handset developer. You can bet that if Apple tried to sue long time handset makers such as Motorola and Nokia, they would have quite a countersuit on their hands.
I'm always amazed at how many Cellphone owners get so passionate about a cellphone. Iphone users especially! GET A LIFE! It's a cellphone! You can't make love to it.....yet. That should be the next generation IPHONE. The new Iphone model M for Male Iphone Model F for female, and the Model Bi. Oh one more thing. I own the HTC Incredible, and I did make love to it last night. It's so much better the Iphone which just lays down and says No Service!
Sorry for all those guys who are counting for an iPhone on verizon to kill android, Please just google what is happening right now in Europe. Besides that just wanting to kill the competition it is blandly stupid. Don't you think the reason why the new iphone has been greatly improved is because of those android devices in the market?. Where was that improvement from the 3G to the 3GS when there was no real treat in the market?. Please think use your brain and stop being just a drone just cheering a corporation like a football team. All the companies care is the profit, monopoly is just plain bad for the consumer
dongcat- "This proves nothing but the blatant copying of the iPhone by HTC designers. Look how similar the EVO is to the iPhone 4G! Can't HTC for once not copy the iPhone?

no offence, but dongcat, people like you are examples of people with no common sence... HTC came out with their form factor way before the new iPhone leaked... There is no way htc could have copied this... I own an iPhone on the Att network so I can create apps, but I use a droid... I can tell you apple from a developer stand point is gimicky and a cheap product, from a style point of view, it is superb... I prefer android over apple os anyday, so the new htc evo would most likely be the phone I will be picking up today... I will have the new iPhone too, most likely only to develop on...
Anyways back to you dingbat, people like you are the reason why company can sue, bc lots of people are to lazy to think for them selves and stay ignorant untill someone corrects them... Get up and smell the roses and do your research before you make comments like the one you did... HTC like stated earlier, blackberry, and palm are the reasons why we have smart phones... Again do your research, apple usually stays behind on technology but dresses the old to make it look new ^^ except it's screens which are actually newer and up to date... Apple is a stylish company who makes stylish phones ^^ if they can sue for that, then I guess I should sue everyone that copies my awesome haircut ^_^
Hello there, simply become aware to your blog thanks for posting such great content I had an enjoyable read, as we are interested in the same things please do check out my website :) thanks , Zan x
