A snowmobile accident in the Italian Alps left six tourists dead and two others seriously injured. The eight -- all from eastern Europe, or Russia -- were riding on the vehicle across an unlit slope on Mount Cermis in the Trento region, rescuers said. Mount Cermis was the scene of two deadly cable car accidents in 1976 and 1998. In the latter a US military plane cut a cable supporting a gondola of an aerial tramway.

The Portland-raised Brownlow could afford the fallout during that two-year run, which started in 2003. Clarklewis—run by Naomi Pomeroy and Michael Hebb—rode a wave of local and national acclaim, with Brownlow getting plaudits for being the brilliant cook and butcher. When the business suddenly tanked, Brownlow headed to Seattle, where he couldn't match his success here, eventually returning to town humbled.
After years without a regular kitchen job, Brownlow finally has another high-profile post: dinner chef at John Gorham's new Tasty N Alder restaurant downtown. Gorham, also an intense guy, is responsible for the birth of two of the last six Willamette Week restaurants of the year, Toro Bravo and Tasty N Sons.
We sat down with the wide-eyed, world-weary Brownlow to talk about his past mistakes and path for the future.
WW: After the gig at Clarklewis went bad, you moved to Seattle. What did you do up there?
Morgan Brownlow: I worked at Michael Hebb's One Pot suppers, taught some butchery classes for Kurtwood Farms and, at the tail end around 2009, began to talk to Aaron Silverman about the Tails & Trotters pork business.
What about Cafe 401, the Northeast Portland breakfast place that became real popular real fast in 2009 before you left after about three months?
The reason I left Cafe 401 was that I was
promised an ownership interest on a handwritten contract with no
signature that made it not legally binding. And I had problems with the
other [owner] because I was trying to explain business scenarios to
him—profit and loss, food costs—and he didn't really grasp the concept
of what that was. Plus, he dragged his feet on getting a liquor license,
which we really needed to make a profit. So that's why I left. But we
were doing $23,000 to $25,000 a week in sales.
The Tails & Trotters pork business didn't work out for you either.
I made about $50,000 in five years through March 2011, and was living in poverty, basically, trying to get the business going. In the end, Aaron [Silverman, Tails & Trotters' partner] was frustrated because I had put in, like, no equity and had no money in the bank. But I had no money in the bank because I wasn't making anything from the company. And he held that against me. He thought it was my job to find money for the business. And this was at the start of the recession and nobody was giving away money. I also wanted health insurance because of the risks I was taking processing 5,000 pounds of pork a week.
How do you respond to critics who say you're impossible to work with…a screamer, crazed tyrant, etc.?
I'm an intense person. When I first sat down with John Gorham, he told me that I'm a bombshell, a powder keg. I'm just a really intense individual. But that's no excuse for blowing up. And when I was younger, at Clarklewis, I did that. I know that I was out of line on multiple occasions.
What was the worst thing you did?
I had a pastry chef and I was really having a lot of pressure from Michael and Naomi and my floor managers because people weren't liking the desserts, so I was supposed to sample any new desserts first. I found out he put some new desserts on the menu without my approval. So it was 5 pm on a Friday and I confronted him about it. He said, "I can't do this anymore." So I told him to get the fuck out of my kitchen.
Do you regret that?
Um…maybe…just by being rude. Performance is performance, but I didn't handle the situation properly, obviously.
Everybody thought I had a thing about pastry chefs. The one before him...she tried to walk out and I told her, "You're not walking out with the keys." So she threw them at me, and I called her a cunt. Did I instigate that? Certainly I said the wrong response, but…she would come in late and hung over and yell at her assistant for not getting her work done, and I said, "No, you're the pastry chef and you need to do the pastries." Anyway, the next pastry chef was [Clyde Common's] Danielle Pruett, and she was awesome.
Other than that, I had few cooks who challenged me, and I pulled them off the line and sent them home. No profanity though. No physical confrontations ever.
Ever been treated for any mental health or drug and alcohol issues?
No. As far as alcohol goes, I mean, I'll have a few drinks. But when you're broke, you're not going out drinking. I've never been arrested. I'm sure there've been a few times when I've drank too much, but it's never had anything to do with my work.
You're 41 years old. How have you changed as a result of the experiences you've described?
I'm very non-materialistic now. As far as possessions, I have my clothes, my knives and my snowboard. That's about it. I feel like, with everything I've gone through, it's made me humble. I was riding quite a high with Clarklewis, with the press nationally and all, and certainly it caught up to me. The fame totally went to my head and fed my chef's ego. I feel like if I was a little more toned down and focusing on the business instead of the fame, things would have turned out differently. Now, that feeling of being high and mighty, better than everybody—the Michael and Naomi way—that's disappeared. I have my skills as a chef, but that only takes you so far. From all my past work, I have zero savings. When Clarklewis failed, I lost $150,000 worth of equity.
How did you become involved with John Gorham and the new project Tasty N Alder?
I had been friends with John for years and had known him going back to when we both worked at the same restaurant in Berkeley. When Tails & Trotters wasn't working out, I got in touch with him because I knew he was looking for someone and I was looking for work. After he signed the lease for this new place, he told me that we should see if we could work well together. So, last October, I started with a little consulting work related to the meat section of the menu, then I started working at Toro Bravo doing butchery and meat-curing downstairs. And then John gave me the option to stay at Toro Bravo or come over here. And I chose to come over here.
Put this job in perspective.
I feel like I'm turning over a new leaf in my life with this new position in terms of creating some stability, financially, and being a cook rather than a boss or owner. I'm a manager, but one among a group of managers, not a sole chef and operator. I'm not responsible for creating a menu with 35 masterpieces every day.
Gorham has a strong personality. Any concerns about you and him clashing?
Yeah, it's always in the back of my mind. But, in all honesty, this is my chance to change my persona and show that I can be a respected chef and not be an asshole at the same time. And John's not going to tolerate that. I respect that this is John's business and he makes the final call on everything. And if you look at my track record, before Clarklewis, when I've worked for great chefs, I've done really well. I may not be a subservient person, but I can be subservient. I think John respects my abilities. I'm also not going to have to deal with the stress of underfunding and understaffing. And I know this could be my last chance.
EAT: Tasty N Alder is at 580 SW 12th Ave. Brunch 9 am-2 pm. Dinner service is scheduled to start Feb. 13.

I had an extra plastic tub, so I decided to start storing them in there, right underneath the desk for easy access. The only problem was that I couldn't tell which color was which from the top. There were just a bunch of white or gold lids. Not very functional when I'm trying to quickly browse.
To fix this problem, I simply painted the color of each paint right on the lid. That way, at a glance, I can see which colors I have and grab the color I want to use. Easy peasy!
What are some simple ways you've made your storage easier for you to find things?

Though we have long since given up on trying to replicate models' physical form, we are still completely infatuated with trying to reproduce their off-duty élan! Though there is always lively debate at Who What Wear headquarters about which catwalk contender is the best-dressed, there is one young lady we all universally and unequivocally revere: Anja Rubik. Her ability to look effortlessly modern, sophisticated, and epically chic on a day-to-day basis is as confounding as it is inspirational, and we cannot get enough! Needless to say, when it came time to showcase the fashion choices of our next Model Off Duty, we immediately thought of Ms. Rubik, whose intriguing, androgynous, and impeccable personal style is completely obsession-inducing.
We'll refrain from raving about Rubik's singular style for long enough to brief you on her career highlights thus far. Currently channeling an international spy on the cover of Vogue Italia, Rubik is a constant presence in magazine editorials due to her uncanny ability to inhabit the spirit of the shoot-plus, those legs, lips, and wide-set eyes certainly help! Industry insiders have dubbed her the "campaign queen" because of her dominance in the advertorial world. Currently the feet, err, face of Giuseppe Zanotti, Giorgio Armani, and spokeswoman for Chloé Parfum and Estee Lauder's Beautiful fragrance, she has also been snapped for the Gap, Chanel Eyewear, Oscar de la Renta, and Dolce and Gabbana adverts, just to name a few. Since her Parisian runway debut nine years ago (an infinity in model years) Rubik has also been a runway constant, opening such landmark shows as Fendi and Gucci, where she was also the final face to appear during the F/W 09 season-not too shabby!
Unlike the Kate Mosses, Agyness Deyns and Irina Lazareanus of the world, Rubik rarely opts for over-the-top, showy, or retro/vintage looks when she's off the runway; she clearly prefers a decidedly clean, crisp and modern aesthetic when it comes to her own wardrobe. Minimalist, structured, and architectural pieces rule Rubik's closet, and though these staples may seem somewhat basic, they are all beautifully constructed. In Rubik's deft hands, these easy and elegant separates combine to create a nuanced simplicity that compliments her insouciant attitude.
Though Rubik keeps black basics such as cropped or skinny trousers, boyfriend blazers, and leather jackets in regular rotation, she is also able to seamlessly weave in playful patterns or a shock of color into her monochromatic wardrobe. Backstage at Michael Kors' S/S 09 show (above, far left), Rubik showed off her take on girly gear with a Derek Lam printed blouse, which she anchored with neutral pieces, like Peter Som's nubby gray sweater and Maison Martin Margiela leggings. As an alternate for her printed top, try Diane von Furstenburg's Marla Blouse ($225) paired with your favorite skinny bottoms for an understated feminine look.
Backstage at Stella McCartney F/W 09 (second from left), Rubik wore Topshop black jeans, a Gap t-shirt, and a Balenciaga blazer with Fiorenti + Baker's Eli Ankle Boots ($505) and a bright blue Stella McCartney cardigan. This final key piece added a pop of color to her more somber ensemble, thus enlivening the entire look.
At Chloé's F/W 09 show (second from right), Rubik styled her all-black uniform with a little animal-print flair, by wrapping the label's scarf around her neck. We love the way that this simple accessory works as a perfect finishing touch and totally transforms her outfit. Try adding on bebe's Cheetah Scarf ($19) the next time you find yourself in head to toe black, and see what wonders it will do!
Another way the mannequin masterfully mixes up her look is by playing with volume and pattern. Sitting front row at Chloé's S/S 09 Parisian presentation (far right) she wore a wide-leg pair of plaid pants. This style has the potential to go seriously wrong, but Rubik smartly keeps the billowy proportion of her bottoms under control. Instead of picking another loud print or a boxy top, she combined a crisp white blouse and a cropped, fitted biker jacket to create a fresh interpretation on the silhouette. Sadly, Rubik's Chloé madras pants are no longer available, but we think Express' Linen Wide-Leg Pleated Pant ($70) in twill stripe would help you make a similarly smashing statement.
While it's obvious that we are completely enamored with her sartorial selections, we're also quite taken with her no-fuss approach to beauty and hair. When she isn't on the clock, she keeps her skin clean and fresh, and it seems as though the only makeup she opts to wear is what remains after her latest runway show. As for hair, her ultra-modern short locks are either drastically parted to one side or sleekly pulled back, which provides the perfectly Rubik-esque polish to her already stellar off-duty-style! -Kate Mulling

Very cool. How did you do the tilt shift? Is this in-camera audio as well?
- February 19, 2010 at 1:38 AM

How, how, how did you do the time lapse? It's the one big thing I want my LX3 to do (my tiny Ixus does it!). I'd been hoping for a firmware upgrade to add this, but wait in vain.
I'd love to hear how you did it.
- February 19, 2010 at 2:49 PM

For time lapse you can use (for MAC) iStopMotion...
For tilt shift.. you can create an automatism in PhotoShop, or make it in every shot...(i dont know a good software)

Thanks for that tip.
I've figured out how to string together a load of images to make time lapse (actually, Picasa does it quite nicely).
What I haven't figured is how to get my LX3 to take the string of pics (apart from leaving it on continuous burst, and using a cable release & adapter to hold the shutter down).
The problem with this approach is that for slower moving objects (like a flower opening), you'd probably want to take a frame every few seconds, rather than one or two frames a second. The only solution I can see here is to discard a proportion of the pictures - not very neat solution and one that's limited by SD card capacity.
Which I guess is why so many people have been attaching electric servos and other devices to their LX3s to operate the shutter release.
If anyone at Panasonic is listening....timelapse features would be a really neat and useful upgrade to the LX3 and your other cameras - far more use than adding yet another scene mode. Canon cameras do it (OK, it's a bit rubbish, but it works - they simply slow down the frame rate in video mode to 1 or 2fps - simple but poor image quality). With the LX3, Panasonic could really improve on this by allowing variable frame rates in HD video mode or (better still) a timelapse function for normal pics - essentially a variable time between frames in burst mode that could be started and stopped by pressing the shutter release.
If only the camera firmware was open source.....I'm sure someone clever could write an app for this!
If anyone's got an elegant solution to this, I'd love to hear about it. These timelapse videos are fantastic.
- February 19, 2010 at 6:17 PM
- Adam Scott said...
Agreed. I'd be incredibly interested in a time lapse feature for the LX3. If anyone has any suggestions please shout out. Whoever did this video clearly found a way.
- February 27, 2010 at 7:12 PM
- jim said...
I just found another mechanical solution, this time as a kit:-
This looks like a solution for those of us with limited time / mechanical aptitude.
BTW, I have been in touch with the people that make the Draganflyer (featured before on this blog and at http://www.draganfly.com/). Their helicopters can be equipped with an LX3 with remote electronic control of both shutter and zoom.
They have told me that to do this they have to make internal (hardware) modifications to the LX3.
So it looks like we're stuck with mechanical solutions unless Panasonic see the light and upgrade the firmware.

Please explain to me: What makes the spectator think this is looking like a LEGO scene? I couldn't figure it out - I just was able to agree ;-)
So WTH have I to do with my LX3 to get a picture like this?
Workshop/HowTo-URL? Anyone?
- March 16, 2010 at 11:46 PM
- Mike said...
"What makes the spectator think this is looking like a LEGO scene? I couldn't figure it out - I just was able to agree ;-)"
I think it's the tilt shift effect, slightly saturated colors and the stop motion that you commonly see in animated lego videos.

Does this use burst shooting mode?

Did you add the vignetting in the post-processing, or it comes from the raw photos?

The culmination of the American football season is on the horizon. Millions of people will tune in to watch two teams battle for the title of champion. While the teams may be busy prepping their last-minute offensive and defensive strategies, sports fans across the country are doing their own strategizing by planning the perfect game-day party.
Know your playing field. Your home is only so big, and that means you will have to limit the number of people you can invite. Crowding too many people into the house can be uncomfortable and dangerous, never mind trying to talk and hear above the cacophony of too many people. Take inventory of how many you can seat comfortably. You may need to move out larger furniture and move in folding chairs if you plan to accommodate more guests. If you live in a warmer climate, you may be able to hook up the television outside and host an outdoor event in the yard. This will enable even more people to attend.
Size up your competition. Super Bowl Sunday is a once-a-year event. There will be thousands of like-minded individuals planning their own parties and utilizing the same services in your local area. Those who need to rent tables and chairs and rely on a caterer (or the services of the nearest pizza joint) should plan early. If you would like to have a football gathering, start laying the groundwork a few months in advance. This way you can leave deposits for any vendors and be secure in knowing you will have what you need come gameday.
Establish your play book. Will this be a chips-and-dips type of party or will you be offering more substantial fare? Is it adults-only or are guests able to bring their kids along? Make a list of questions that need to be answered and set up the party parameters. This way you will know what to stock up on in advance. Consider allocating a separate room in the house for kids' play or for adults who are there for the social aspect of the party and will not necessarily be glued to the television.
Check your equipment. What is the Super Bowl without a means to watch the game? Retailers often offer the best deals on new televisions this time of year because they know sports fans want to upgrade their televisions for the big game. If yours is a TV that has seen better days or doesn't offer the high-definition picture guests have come to expect, this may be the time to cash in holiday gift cards for a new flat-screen. If buying new isn't a possibility at this time, there are centers that will rent electronics.
Watch the clock. Hardcore fans will not want to miss any of the action. Therefore, refreshments and other components of the party will have to coordinate to the timing of the game. Do the bulk of food preparation before kickoff and allow guests to mingle and fuel up before the game starts. Save finger foods and other snacks that are easily accessible for when the game starts. Guests can take a break at halftime and grab food and beverages that are set up buffet-style in another room. Hosts and hostesses also may want to consider serving as food "butlers" and constantly come out with new finger foods on trays and go around the room to ensure everyone doesn't miss a moment of the game.
Don't run interference. There's not much entertainment that needs to be scheduled on game day apart from the game itself. Ensure that the television is situated so nobody's view is obstructed and that people moving in and out of the room need not cross in front of the TV to get food or use the restroom. While it may be customary to decorate your home with a few decorations, ensure any decorations do not obstruct views of the game.

Teachers and administrators in Massachusetts will have a chance to offer their views on this subject through a confidential online survey that is now available through March 18. What if I lose my code or have problems taking the survey? The MassTeLLS Help Desk is available by phone (1-800-277-8170) from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Help Desk can be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com anytime. The help desk will be able to provide a new access code to those who lose their cards and to answer any questions about the initiative.The MTA and the NEA are leading sponsors of this effort. The MTA and the NEA are leading sponsors of this effort. "We are very excited to be part of this project," said MTA President Anne Wass. "Ten years ago, thousands of members responded to our "Ask a Teacher" survey. Member responses were at the heart of the recommendations in our publication The Teachers' Blueprint for Educational Excellence. We have used that report often in advocating for the educators' point of view, and we intend to do the same with these survey results." TeLLS Survey Is your school a good place to teach and learn? Tell is like it is by responding to a Teaching, Learning and Leading Survey (TeLLS), which will be available online between Feb. 11 and March 18, 2008. The MTA and NEA are leading sponsors of this effort. MTA's TeLLs Hotline: 617-878-8232. The Teaching, Learning and Leading Survey -- TeLLS -- provides a unique opportunity to gather information about teaching and learning conditions in every school in the Commonwealth. The MTA Board voted to endorse the effort in March. In October, the Legislature approved Gov. Deval Patrick's request for funding for the survey to supplement funds provided by the sponsoring organizations."As the Commonwealth embarks on the next chapter in education improvement, we must have the voice of educators in the conversation," Patrick said. "This survey is a unique and important opportunity to help shape education policy and practice with the perspective of the very teachers and administrators most involved in making classrooms succeed."In the 20-minute anonymous survey, which will be administered by the New Teacher Center in California, educators will answer a series of questions related to student achievement and teacher retention. TeLLS will cover the adequacy of facilities and resources, time, empowerment, school leadership and professional development."The goal of TeLLS is to support sound educational policies and practices at the local and state levels based on the views of practitioners, most of whom are our members," said Kathie Skinner, director of MTA's Center for Education Policy and Practice, which is spearheading the survey effort on behalf of the association."We strongly urge all of our members to answer these survey questions so that the teachers' voices are heard during policy debates."All licensed educators, as well as teachers working on waivers, will be receiving unique codes that are identified by school, but not by individual. In fact, participants will be able to swap codes within schools and respond to the survey from any computer, since results are only tabulated by school, not by individual.The results of the survey will be used by the governor and other policymakers to help guide statewide educational initiatives. In addition, the results will be used to improve conditions at the school and district levels, as has been done in other states where surveys have been given.The MTA will also help local associations use the results to advocate for both local and statewide school reforms that members support.Other TeLLS sponsors are American Federation of Teachers Massachusetts, The Boston Foundation, the Massachusetts Association of School Committees, the Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education, the Massachusetts Elementary School Principals Association, the Massachusetts Secondary School Administrators' Association, the Nellie Mae Education Foundation and the Rennie Center for Education Research and Policy.

A Notice of Intent for the following project submitted in accordance
with R307-401-1, Utah Administrative Code (UAC), has been received for
consideration by the Executive Secretary, Utah Air Quality Board:
Company Name: College of Eastern Utah
Location: College of Eastern Utah: Central Heating Plant - 330 East
530 North, Price, UT, Carbon County
Project Description: The College of Eastern Utah has requested a
modification to its Approval Order (DAQE-AN0102002-03) with the
addition of one 41 hp diesel-fueled emergency-power generator. This
modification is necessitated by a compliance advisory based on a
compliance inspection. The generator was installed in 1991.
Carbon County is an attainment area of the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) for all pollutants. New Source Performance
Standards (NSPS), Subpart Dc, and Maximum Achievable Control
Technology (MACT) regulations, subpart ZZZZ, apply to this source.
Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act applies to this source.
The potential to emit totals will increase, in tons per year, PM10 +
0.004, PM2.5 + 0.004, NOx + 0.06, SO2 + 0.004, CO + 0.01, and VOC +
0.005. The potential to emit totals, in tons per year: PM10 = 0.60,
PM2.5 = 0.60, NOx = 18.80, SO2 = 1.98, CO = 38.02, and VOC = 1.37.
PM2.5 emissions are a subset of PM10 emissions.
The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis
showed that the proposed project meets the requirements of federal air
quality regulations and the State air quality rules. The Executive
Secretary intends to issue an Approval Order pending a 30-day public

Maine is becoming increasingly attractive to film-makers, a new study shows, bringing nearly $120 million of economic activity to the state in 2010. However, the Pine Tree State is still falling short when it comes to enticing bigger productions, as evidenced by a decision to recreate the mountains of western Maine in the Canadian Rockies for the filming of a romantic comedy, called Tumbledown, which goes into production later this year. Tom Porter reports.

The film stars Saturday Night Live's Jason Sudeikis, Rose Byrne and Beau Bridges, among others, and it's the creation of two Portland-based movie-makers.
"My name is Desi Van Til and I'm a writer and executive producer of Tumbledown, an independent feature film."
"I'm Sean Mewshaw, I'm director of Tumbledown."
Maine native Van Til and Mewshaw - who are married - spoke to MPBN five years ago when they were just starting on the Tumbledown project. At the time they were determined to shoot it in Maine - the setting, they said, was crucial to the story. They even moved from Los Angeles to Portland to try to make it happen.
The multi-million dollar project is now a reality and everything else has fallen into place - except for the it's location.
"It will be filmed in Canada," Van Til says. "You know how Maine has those 6,000 foot rocky cliffs and redwood forests?"
Van Til - who wrote the screenplay specifically to be set in her hometown of Farmington - says she feels lucky after so many years of effort to have a great cast and to have financing in place. "But there was no economic way for us to shoot it in Maine because we don't have the tax incentives that match surrounding states."
In the end, they were forced to compromise. They say the financial incentives of shooting in Canada - which include tax breaks of up to 35 percent on local employment costs - were too good to resist. The Maine Film Office by comparison offers a 12 percent rebate on labor costs.
Van Til says she cringes when she imagines what her hometown friends will say when they see Farmington recreated on the big screen in British Columbia.
"Looking at the screen going, 'That's not Maine, what are they doing?'" she says. "I don't want to make a film that's inauthentic when all I aimed to do was make a film that was essentially about the life choices of living here, the sorts of people who live here, and what it means to grow up in a community, as I did in Farmington. But my hope is that everyone knows we tried."
Mewshaw says faking a location is a common challenge for a filmmaker. "The expression that's used is that film is '24 lies per second,'" he says. "So there's no question that you're faking it no matter where you're shooting, and we'll do our best, I think, to interpolate elements that seem most like Maine, and that'll be a challenge in Canada."
Karen Carbery Worhola is director of the Maine Film Office. She says that while Maine does not have the high percentage rebates that some other states - and Canada - can offer, there are many other advantages to filming here: For one thing, there are no permit fees required for shooting, and the location fees are lower.
Worhola says many production companies fail to realize what the Maine film industry has to offer. "A big challenge we face is a perception that we don't have enough crew in Maine," she says.
And the associated costs of importing crew, she says, are high. "And if producers don't know we have talented crew members in Maine, they're going to start looking at other states where they know local crew can be found."
While it may be a challenge attracting the bigger productions to Maine, a recent study by University of Maine economist Todd Gabe (left) does highlight some steady growth in the industry. Gabe says in 2010, the Maine film and photography sectors directly employed about 1,700 people, providing around $20 million worth of labor income to the state.
"If you include multiplier effects - so these are impacts on other sectors of the economy based on the spending of people in film and photography, the total economic impact is about $120 million in output, supporting just over 2,000 jobs and about $33 million in labor income, which is wages, salaries, things like that," Gabe says.
Between 2007 and 2011, he says, these sectors grew by about 12 percent, outpacing the overall Maine economy, which saw a decline of some 4.5 percent in employment.
Portland-based film-makers Sean Mewshaw and Desi Van Til, meanwhile, would like to be able to contribute to this growth.
And they plan to keep trying. After Tumbledown, they hope to work on an adaptation of Maine author Lewis Robinson's award-winning novel Water Dogs - a story where, for many, the bleak wintry Maine landscape is as important as any of the characters.

Fall's lesson in unconventional layering continues today with the shirt-under-dress look. A favorite on the runways and championed by the one and only Alexa Chung, this transitional outfit idea--once a signature of Victorian governesses and schoolgirl uniforms--has the ability to extend the wearability of your sleeveless dresses and works for a variety of personalities too. But before you hit the party circuit in this unexpectedly chic look, be sure to take some style cues from the fashionable ladies featured into today's Microtrend story!
On The Runway
Though there were countless examples of this trend on the runways, we are especially fond of Carven's take on the look. The formula is simple and sweet: layer the Celedon Cashmere Jacquard Dress ($1100, similar style here) over the White Cotton Poplin Blouse ($365) for a between-seasons look that will take you from day to night. A more eccentric interpretation can be found at Marc Jacobs, where a white shirt buttoned all the way to the top was styled under the Black Leather and Popcorn Tweed Dress ($8900, 212.343.1490) and worn with the Red and Black Paisley Brocade Skirt ($1800, 212.343.1490). Needless to say, the trend-centric look, furry hat and pilgrim shoes included, is not for the faint of dressers.
At Events and On the Streets
Elle Fanning
Spotted at the Topshop Unique S/S 13 show during London Fashion Week, up-and-comer Elle Fanning showed off a mod-inspired outfit, consisting of Topshop Boutique's Zip Shift Dress ($160), J.W. Anderson for Topshop Embroidered Cotton Shirt ($80), and Topshop's Prancer Croc Riding Boots ($280). Not only is the ensemble in perfect keeping with today's layered trend, but its '60s influences make it an on-point look for spring too.
Nora Zehetner
At a New York screening for Killing Them Softly late last month, actress Nora Zehetner showcased a romantic version of today's trend. A ribbon tie and suede Pachacuti wide-brim hat enhance the sweetly feminine look of her Miu Miu dress and Jil Sander for Uniqlo blouse.
Natalia Vodianova
Celebrating the opening of Naked Heart boutique in Moscow last month, Natalia Vodianova chose an Ulyana Sergeenko velvet dress worn over a Celine silk and leather collar blouse. The apron silhouette and mix of rich textures give the outfit its of-the-moment appeal.
Dasha Zhukova
Dasha Zhukova deserves a round of applause for the Prada Tricotina Wool Embellished Coat ($2950, select Prada boutiques) and blue blouse she wore to the Christian Dior S/S 13 show during Paris Fashion Week a few months ago. The addition of the collared shirt lends schoolgirl preppiness to the modern dress and helps balance the leggy look.
Street Style
As seen on Stockholm Street Style, a stylish civilian offers a less formal interpretation, pairing her leather button-front dress with a scoop-neck tee and ankle boots. Together the casual top and leather accents give the outfit a '90s grunge vibe peppered with some downtown insouciance.
Get The Look/Tops
If you're ready to incorporate the shirt-under-dress look into your daily mix, make sure to keep the following product suggestions in mind. Button-Up Shirt For those of you who want to go the button-up route like most of today's ladies, a proper dress shirt is ideal-the fitted silhouette keeps the look from feeling too bulky. Some styles to consider are Theyskens' Theory's Fativia Blouse ($345), J. Crew's Stretch Perfect Shirt ($72), and Loft's Stretch Poplin Long Sleeve Button Down Shirt ($35). Crewneck Tees If you're taking style notes from Stockholm Street Style, a crewneck t-shirt is your best bet. American Apparel's Basic Short Sleeve T-Shirt ($15) and T by Alexander Wang's Mesh T-Shirt ($52) will help you achieve that relaxed, sophisticated look.
Get the Look/Dresses
Once you've figured out your top, it's time to find your dress. You can play with a variety of shapes here, but we find three cuts work particularly well. Modest Neckline A shift dress, like P.A.R.O.S.H.'s Sleeveless Shift Dress ($505) or Free People's Beaded Shift ($300), will give you that on-point mod look and pairs nicely with both a blouse and t-shirt. Low Neckline A dress with a deep-v neckline is great because it allows you to show off feminine details, such as a ribbon tie or statement necklace. Try BCBGMaxazria's Avery V-Neck Asymmetric Dress ($198) for an evening fete or Dorothy Perkins' Scuba Dress ($69) for the office. Apron Finally, to mimic Vodianova's Northern European vibe, go for an apron dress--a silhouette we've been seeing a lot of lately--like Comme des Garcons' Apron Dress ($222). Now that you've studied today's inspirational references and we've supplied you with a bevy of clothing options to try, you're sure to ace this two-part fashion equation in real life.--Jessica Baker

By 2020 it is estimated that shortages of workers with postsecondary-level skills could grow to 14 million.(1) For states with a shrinking workforce, it is essential to educate residents for existing jobs and create new jobs and industries to retain college graduates.
Investments in K-12 and postsecondary education are important to accomplishing both of these goals.

Thanks for visiting the forums! We've become more active in the past couple months and are glad to have you passing by. Where is your business located?
a little bit about myself. i've been a linux user now for about 4 years and have a small computer repair business. just wanted to say hi. i look forward to chatting here and helping out when i can. cheers.
Thanks for visiting the forums! We've become more active in the past couple months and are glad to have you passing by. Where is your business located?
nice to meet you. i'm in stratford, connecticut usa. i've been fixing computers for years, but as a business, only for 2 years. business is kind of slow, but that's because of the economy. hopefully our new president will fix things. where are you from?
on a side note, i am a longtime dissatisfied member of a certain distros' forum, (think most popular distro) and may be able to get some of my online friends to come here and join. i am getting tired of the rat race over there anyway.
I'm based in Silicon Valley / San Jose CA. Sure, invite anyone over.
I also want to donate some of the forums ad revenue to charity. Have any ideas? The Inveneo contact dried up on me.
Seeing that the forum is related to IT, I was thinking of an IT based charity. The local shelter is an option but I'll hold out for a couple more weeks and see if anyone has any ideas. I do a little searching every day. Something will come up.
Thanks, I'll let everyone know what comes up. I found a local IT charity and hope to get a response from them soon.

Product Details
RD Series Polished Cold Air Intake System (RD2082P) by Injen®. The RD Series is made for the enthusiast who wants improved mid-range power. This cold air system positions a high-flow air filter behind the bumper, where it can take in cooler, denser air. The cool air then flows to the engine through a fee-flowing aluminum alloy intake tube. Cooler air contains more oxygen for more complete combustion and more horsepower. Up to 14 HP and 9.8 ft.lbs TQ Gain.
- Delivers more oxygen to the combustion chamber by drawing in cooler air
- Custom designed and engineered to deliver maximum power for each specific vehicle
- Improves acceleration and fuel economy
- Every system includes the Injen EA Nanofiber dry air filter
- Air intake pipe constructed of mandrel-bent 6061 aluminum for smooth airflow
- Most systems are one-piece, however some are two-piece designs
- Comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware and comprehensive installation instructions
- Street legal in most States
- Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty
- Proudly manufactured in the USA
It's a well known fact that cooler, denser air contains more oxygen, and more oxygen in your engine's air intake charge means better combustion and more power. Hot air contains fewer oxygen molecules, and if your engine is fed hot air there will be less oxygen and therefore less power. Yet that's exactly what your engine gets with the factory air intake system! The solution to this problem is to install an Injen RD Series Cold Air Intake System.
Injen starts the power improvement process by positioning an Injen High Performance air filter behind the front bumper. Here, this free-flowing filter can take in the coolest air possible and funnel it through smooth, mandrel-bent 6061 aluminum alloy tubing. Injen designs and repeatedly tests its systems for each application to make sure they're the least restrictive, all the way to the throttle body. So, instead of power-robbing hot air squeezing through a restrictive air filter and intake duct, your engine is taking in huge quantities of cool air surging through free-flowing tubing. The result is increased horsepower and torque, and improved performance you can feel!
The RD system is carefully engineered, with CNC machined brackets and adapters, to ensure an exact fit. Installation can be accomplished with simple hand tools and everything necessary for installation is supplied, including comprehensive instructions. The RD Series Cold Air Intake System is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.279.30Brand: Injen Part Number: RD2082P UPC: 843115013615
Injen Technology Company, Ltd., based in Pomona, California, was formed as a sister company to RD Metal Works in 1998, to utilize the experience and design capabilities that RD Metal Works had gained designing and manufacturing air intake kits for leading air filter and intake manufacturers. Since that time, the company has made it a point to stay at the forefront of performance technology, continually setting new standards for quality and improving their engineering and manufacturing capabilities. This enables Injen to regularly introduce new, cutting edge products to market and has required the company to continually expand to meet the demand for those products. Today, Injen continues to set the industry benchmark for innovation, styling and technology.

Consumer spending has been falling the past couple of years, so retailers have to be creative both in-store and virtually to entice shoppers to spend their money. With Microsoft Tag, both brick-and-mortar and online retailers are keeping shoppers engaged, informed and empowered thanks to the power of mobile commerce. Through a variety of implementations, Tags are solving some of retailers' biggest pain points:
Keeping people in stores
Lowe's is using Tag to create a virtual bridge, connecting their stores to their online and app worlds. Shoppers can scan Tags throughout the store to watch DIY videos, get additional product info, and check out product reviews. In addition, the Tags are used for decorating ideas, possibly inspiring a shopper to buy other items. If they are no longer in the store, the app uses GPS to find their closest Lowe's store.
Knowledgeable sales associates (or lack thereof)
Retailer's biggest nightmare is a shopper who wants to buy but can't find a sales associate to help. Even worse is that shopper may find a salesperson, but they do not have the answer to their question. Tags on shelves and store displays are augmenting a store's sales force by providing information on products to help consumers make a product and purchasing choice.
Informed shoppers and price comparison shopping
Retailers know that an informed shopper is the best shopper and through the use of Tags, consumers can be confident that the product that they buy is the best one for them at the best price. Lowe's is using Tags for additional product information, and Burpee is using Tags on each of their products for gardening tips and retailer listings, just to name a couple of examples. Stores and manufacturers know if they give shoppers the information they crave and show them where the best price can be obtained, ca-ching, they have a sale.
Speaking of the best price, savvy retailers are using Tags to give instant coupons by scanning Tags on store and product displays. All the shopper has to do is scan the Tag and show the coupon to the cashier. It is just the thing to tip a shopper to buying right there on the spot, and it saves the shopper from the hassle of cutting coupons. (We'll have a more in-depth look at couponing on Thursday.)
Extending the usefulness of gift cards
I don't know about you, but I have a love/hate relationship with gift cards. I love to give and get them, but then they sit in my wallet or I wonder if the ones I give are being unused as well. Now with the use of Tags on gift cards, the love percentage is much higher. Consumers can find out how much is left on their cards and receive promotions and retailers can help redeemers find the closest store or connect with mobile shopping sites.
Advertising and catalogs
I don't know how many times I have browsed a catalog, found something I liked, and then put the catalog down, never to actually pick it back up and buy the item. JC Penney is making catalog shopping super easy by having Tags throughout their printed catalog with scan to buy options as well as mobile couponing and product recommendations. So now the shopping experience is, "Ooh, I like that item! Scan and buy." It's super easy for all those impulse (and informed) buys.
Making contests and promotions more interesting
Dillard's recently used Tags for a back-to-school promotion, where the Tag was placed prominently on in-store signage for the contest. By scanning, users were brought to a contest fill-out form. In-store Tags are a good way to engage customers at the point-of-sale and keep them occupied when they are waiting to check out or for a significant other in the fitting room.
Online tools
How many times have you found the perfect item, but the store doesn't carry your size or the color that you want? Now, how many times did you take the time to ask a clerk to help you? With Tags, you can scan and help yourself to information on where you can get the item of your dreams–either from a different store or online—in the color and size that you want.
How would you use Tags to engage and inform shoppers? Let us know with your comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

The annual free community Thanksgiving Dinner at the Ogdensburg Knights of Columbus was a team effort.
Theres a tremendous amount of preparation, said Timothy J. Baker, the director of publicity for the event.
Mr. Baker said the two months leading up to the dinner were consumed in organizational details and ensuring the dinner went smoothly.
Grand Knight Nelson J. Woods said the event was made possible because of volunteers.
Mr. Woods said there were roughly 75 volunteers who donated their time to the dinner.
We figure well feed between 650 and 700 people, said Mr. Woods on Wednesday.
The 721 Hasbrouck St. Knights Hall itself holds 200 people, but Mr. Woods said people dont all come in at one sitting.
But Mr. Baker said most people actually enjoy the meal at home.
Deliveries start at 11 a.m., said Mr. Baker. He said more than half of the dinners served are to people who pick up the meal or get it delivered to them.
Members of the Ogdensburg Free Academy Key Club helped deliver food, said Mr. Baker.
Mr. Woods said deliveries went out to the entire city of Ogdensburg and some of the surrounding region, including the village of Heuvelton.
Mr. Woods added that more people called in for deliveries or to schedule pick-ups this year. He believes the sluggish economy is to blame and said he is glad the Knights are able to help out.
Roughly 70 turkeys were cooked up for the dinner; a major operation that filled the Knights kitchen starting Wednesday morning.
Were working two shifts today, said Mr. Baker on Wednesday, adding that Thanksgiving morning will see the rest of the food, besides the turkeys, prepared.
We just survey and see whos available for the event, said Bert J. Doe, the man in charge of the kitchen for the Knights.
Getting 70 turkeys ready takes a lot of work, and a lot of organization, said Mr. Doe.
The kitchen is capable of cooking 22 turkeys at a time, said Mr. Doe. After the turkeys are cooked, the volunteers formed an assembly line at the counters and prepped the birds for the meal.
On Thanksgiving morning, Mr. Baker said he expected 30 people to show up to help prepare the mashed potatoes, vegetables and other side dishes.
The rolls were donated by Phillips Diner on Ford Street, said Mr. Woods.
Mr. Baker said the community supports been excellent for the event.
Mr. Woods said roughly $4,000 was raised for the meal.
