By the time the refreshed Palais Galliera, Paris' musée de la mode, opened its doors at 6 p.m. on Wednesday evening, a line was already snaking down the block. Even the mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë, turned up early for a preview of Azzedine Alaïa's first Parisian retrospective, which opens to the public on Saturday. Marveling at the iconic wool-and-crocodile coat, the mayor exclaimed, "Ça, c'est la classe!" ("Now, that's class!")
The man of the hour was receiving visitors and basking in the adoration, but he kept his usual laconic composure. Asked how it felt to see his work arrayed, he simply smiled politely. But he didn't lack for acolytes to sing his praises. Naomi Campbell was misty-eyed even before she set foot inside the museum. "This is going to be like seeing a timeline of my entire life. I think I'm going to cry," she said. "I am so proud of Papa. He's done so much [to glorify] women's bodies. There aren't accolades enough for Azzedine Alaïa."
"The word sexy is not savage enough when it comes to Alaïa. We need a new word," added the Musée Galliera's director, Olivier Saillard, who curated the exhibition. "He is like a plastic surgeon, but with scissors. It's an incredible body of work. Only a truly great designer can get away with repeating himself for forty years. Owning an Alaïa is like having an Hermès bag. You transmit it from one generation to the next." Ellen von Unwerth concurred, fondly describing her Alaïa zip-front jumpsuit: "It was quite daring at the time, but after twenty years, it's in perfect condition and it still looks fantastic. My daughter took it from me."

Larry Nesbitt was named the Tennessean All-Midstate Baseball Coach of the Year for directing Christ Presbyterian Academy to the Class AA state championship in the TSSAA. He talked with Lipscombsports.com about his honor as well as his time as a Bisons baseball player.
Former Lipscomb pitcher Josh Smith ('10) is scheduled to make his Major League Baseball debut on Tuesday. He joins the Cincinnati Reds and will get the start against the Pittsburgh Pirates. First pitch is set for 6:05 p.m. and the contest will air on Fox Sports Ohio (FSO), WLW 700 radio and MLB.TV.
For the third time in school history the Atlantic Sun Conference selected Lipscomb's Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium to serve as the host site for the 2016 Atlantic Sun Baseball Championship May 25-28, announced by the league office on Tuesday.
The Chicago White Sox drafted Lipscomb shortstop Grant Massey with the seventh pick in the 26th round and the 772nd selection overall in the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft Wednesday. Massey becomes the 26th Bison in history be drafted.

I've been making a search page for my service, and it includes several association based search parameters, I can think of a few messy long sql mess, but would prefer some cleaner approaches, as a sample,
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :friends
Friend has an attribute that indicates the state of the friendship, something like friend_type
class Friend < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :person
The search form would consist of many parameters, two of them being searching for people who have more than a certain number of friends, and how many people have friends that have friend_type set to, say "bff".
What I would like to do is have some scope methods in the model, and in the Controller be able to do this,
some model scopes in Person like this,
scope :by_friends_count_greater_than, lambda { |value| joins(:friends).where( #count friends#, value ) if value }
scope :by_bff_count_greater_than, lambda { |value| joins(:friends).where( ##count friends with bff status## , value ) if value }
and call them in the controller as so,
@people = Person.by_friends_count_greater_than(params[:query][:friends_count])
I have been trying out squeel, which seems to be a very nice asset, considering it can call methods in the query. Is it possible to have search queries done in this fashion?
If there is a better way to approach this, that would be very appreciated.

Ever the master of staying on top of trends, the pop star has become a Cat Daddy junkie.
1590s, "to run or bend in a certain direction" (of rivers, coasts, etc.), from Middle English trenden "to roll about, turn, revolve," from Old English trendan, from Proto-Germanic *trandijanan (cf. Old English trinde "round lump, ball," Old Frisian trind, Middle Low German trint "round," Middle Low German trent "ring, boundary," Dutch trent "circumference," Danish trind "round"); origin and connections outside Germanic uncertain. Sense of "have a general tendency" (used of events, opinions, etc.) is first recorded 1863, from the nautical sense. Related: Trended; trending.
"the way something bends" (coastline, mountain range, etc.), 1777, from trend (v.); sense of "general tendency" is from 1884.

There is little to no information in the forums and even less information in the DMS docs, regarding this topic/feature. If I'm just missing the information, I apologize in advance.
As I told Andrew Powers, in a recent survey he (PageLines) sent me, we're not looking for PL to design/develop our sites for us...but more documentation would be nice. According to AP...more documentation is coming. Yay! Moving on from my short rant.
On the DMS 2.0 demo site, there is a section labeled "Video and Image Parallax Backgrounds". That's great, but how we do that same thing...ourselves?
Here is the page I'm currently working on and the steps I've taken so far.
- Added a Canvas Area
- Edited the Canvas Area, choosing "Parallaxed Scrolling Effects" for Area Styling > Scrolling effects and sizing
- Edited the Canvas Area, added a custom background image via Background Options > Background Image **The background image is 1920 × 1200. **From what I did find in the forums, it says to make sure the background image is way bigger than the section.
- Added a Masthead to the Canvas Area, for testing purposes
Again, I apologize in advance. Just really lost here.
Thank you.

Boomerangs hurled aboard International Space Station
• Discuss this post in our forums
7 Responses to "Boomerangs hurled aboard International Space Station"
It's a cool video, but is that 3-bladed thing a real boomerang? Would an actual authentic Australian person use it? I've seen these things before, but I thought a true boomerang was a sort-of L-shaped piece of wood.
Heck even a Frisbee will come back to you if you throw it right. But I don't think that makes it a boomerang. Just askin'
it probably works better with lower gravity
Imagine though if he threw it a bit too hard and it accidentally hit the self destruct button
#2 – LOL, That would be embarrassing.
That was the coolest thing ever. Period.
I could imagine Ender doing something like this.
Is just me or is bouncing off the walls?
Also @Jake0748.
Most Aboriginal boomerangs where a simple piece of wood in a kind of L shape. (Although not usually with a 90 degree angle usually a bit straighter than that). However ancient Boomerangs have also been discovered in a number of other countries (in fact according to wikipedia the oldest one ever discovered was found in Poland, 20,000 years old).
And also for referrence, I'd guess that maybe 1% of the Australian population has any idea of how to throw a boomerang so that it comes back. I tried it once, it flew out of my hand much like any normal stick then dropped to ground without even starting to turn.
Wiki answers says that 2.4% of Australians are Aboriginal, so I'd say the number of Australians that can throw a boomerang is over that.
I learned to throw them on a school camp, as did a whole bunch of other Australian school children. I'm not Aboriginal either.
The ones used by Australian Aboriginals for hunting were sharp, so you wouldn't really want them to come back. They were designed to fly straight so you could crack a kangaroo in the skull with it.
+1 for the Asher reference.

Not a bad hotel. Central location. Tons of parking. The indoor pool is spectacular. Had to ask for towels. Rooms a bit dated and the light outside of our room didn't work. Lots of stairs! Guests were drinking in the pool area = loud/obnoxious!
I like the location of this hotel, but there were so many issues that it was not a pleasant stay. The hotel room was not ready when we had arrived. When it was time for breakfast the staff was overwhelmed and ended up closing and locking the doors to the breakfast area because there were no more tables available. I...
enjoyed spending time here at Heritage House. The buffet breakfasts were great each morning. The staff were very accomodating and pleasant. The Hotel is located near stores and plenty of shopping and restaurants.
this is our third stay at the Heritage House Hotel
We enjoy staying there. Clean, affordable, wonderful staff, good food
The location is perfect...short walking distance to both ferry lines
Walking distance to Main St and restaurants

Having had a horrible experience at a nearby hotel (smelly, noisy), this hotel saved our vacation. We checked out of the hotel we were at on on Main St. and went over to the Heritage House, where we ended up hacing the a terrific experience. Marsha at the front desk took care of our every need. The room was very...

It is truly a beautiful area and you are right our location is close to Harbor and right on Main St making it walking distance to restaurants and shops. Thank...
I stayed here for two days and have stayed here in the past. I am always surprised people tend to have such an issue with this place. I find it very convenient to the ferries (short walk down the street) and also short walking distance to some nice shops and restaurants down Main Street which are open late. Pizza Barbone...

I am glad you enjoyed our hot buffet breakfast and was able to enjoy some of our local restaurants. Our staff is always eager to please so next time you are here please ask for some...
If I were rating the location, I would give it five stars, no doubt. Unfortunately I am rating the Heritage House. The name almost implies some place of importance. "Hey, where did you stay?" "At the Heritage House of course." "Wow, some place it must have been, eh?" Well, it is not a house, and the heritage is not obvious...

I appreciate the time you took to review our property and appreciate your candid and constructive comments. It is our goal to provide each guest with an exceptional experience and will continue to improve our property and guest service skills. We do...
This hotel is clean, I'll give it that. The beds freshly made, the room neat and tidy (until we found an empty drink bottle hiding by the bed the next morning), the bathroom spick and span. A massive plus for me!
But it needs a huge lick of paint and a LOT of updating.
I booked a room through booking.com...
