NeoFinder: The Holy Grail of media asset management
"[NeoFinder is] the Holy Grail of media asset management"
Yes, that is the amazing praise that David Gerwitz finds for NeoFinder!
And there is more!
"..I needed something that actually worked, and NeoFinder knocks it out of the park for under fifty bucks."
"...I set about importing my files into NeoFinder. Some time later (without crashing) it had them all imported into its databases. A search (NeoFinder is also integrated with the Mac's Spotlight) takes seconds...
Oh, as for file limits: 4,000,000,000 catalogs. That's not files. That's the number of catalogs of files NeoFinder can handle. I think we're good for a while, don't you?"
"...Although now it's called NeoFinder [it] handles all sorts of media. When I say "all sorts of media," I mean it. I can't go into all the formats this thing handles, but it goes way beyond my needs to a wide variety of music formats, video formats, movie formats, document formats, and more."

NeoFinder featured in macnn
A very nice NeoFinder review of the good people of macnn:
"Since NeoFinder v6.6 is available for download as a trial, we recommend giving it a try for yourself if you're on the hunt for something to help organize a notable breadth of digital information. Since it is indeed a comprehensive tool for managing a catalog (of which we can't thoroughly cover in a brief review), we feel that those who will benefit most from NeoFinder are companies, ranging in size, that require detailed aggregation of files they hold onto."

NeoFinder features in TUAW
"In a nutshell, NeoFinder is like a supercharged Finder"
"The Unofficial Apple Weblog" writes this about NeoFinder in their blog:
"Even with powerful built-in Mac OS X features like Spotlight and QuickLook, it can be so frustrating when you can't find exactly what you're looking for because you can't remember exactly where you put it.
If you work with large quantities of photos, audio files, video or documents, but have found yourself struggling to find that file -- it could be in any number of offline hard drives, discs or backups -- then NeoFinder if probably what you need."
We are thrilled to receive such a great review! Thank you!

On a rather cold evening on December 10, 1995, chief developer Norbert M. Doerner wrote the first lines of code for a brand new Macintosh software called CDFinder.
Little did he know that this new pet project of his would turn out to be a highly successful product that would still be actively developed 15 years later.
For those technically interested, the first CDFinder code module was a progress window that showed the progress bar in color, which had to be manually drawn in 1995, because System 7.1 in that day only had a boring back and white progress bar. Yeah, those were the days.
The first version was released in April 1996, and only in Germany. The first english version was 1.1 released in May 1996.
We will definitely celebrate this amazing feat with a nice glass of Champagne tonight.
Thank you very much to all these 49,000 people who have purchased a CDFinder license in the past 15 years, and who helped us make CDFinder such a cool product!

Next week, politicians from all over the world meet together to talk. And talk. And talk. And talk even more.
The CDFinder team is sick of talking, and started taking action.
Here is what we did so far:
- We switched our electric utility from a huge, coal burning supplier to a small and completely green one, only using solar, wind, and other efficient, and renewable energies. http://www.ews-schoenau.de/

Additionally, the wonderful people at M.A.C.S. have updated their previous review of CDFinder to cover the latest version 5.6. Read the entire review. CDFinder gets the full 5-Clicks rating: "CDFinder is a well-written, self-contained program which does its job very well." The entire CDFinder team is really proud to hear that, and we appreciate this very much!!!
CDFinder and Video Archiving
(NAB Preivew: Cache-A LTO-4 Archive Drive for Video Pros)
They are suggesting to use CDFinder:
"As each tape is filled, we mount it on the desktop of the computer and use a program called CDFinder to create a catalog file of all contents of the tape. This usually only takes a few minutes per tape. Once complete, the tape is in the CDFinder database and can be searched from any computer in the office without the tape being loaded. Once we find what we're looking for, we load the appropriate tape and retrieve the files. It has turned out to be a great system."
We are very happy about this interesting article that shows how CDFinder can be used in video production, and we are even more thrilled, because generating video thumbnails for CDFinder catalogs is a very cool new upcoming feature, and it seems we have hit a nerve with hat already...
MacTech Geotagging article
Written by CDFinder developer Norbert M. Doerner, the article covers the addition of GPS data to digital photos, all the software and hardware needed, and how that additional information can be used by CDFinder to finally organize your ever increasing photo collection.

Podcast MacBreak Weekly talks about CDFinder
They just keep coming! Yet another very positive review of CDFinder. This time, it is a podcast of MacBreak Weekly.
Alex Lindsay days: (at about minute 49 in the podcast, more info)
"We have 120 drives or something here... for backups and stuff. We run it through DiskTracker, which is kind of stone-age technology, to keep track of it.... CDFinder just builds a database of every file name that is on that drive, and if you are doing lots and lots of backups, you just scan these drives, and now you can just very quickly find what file is on what drive. We are just starting to use CDFinder, and as soon as I did the first scan, of my internal drive, I was like get rid of DiskTracker. CDFinder is light-years ahead of DiskTracker..."
Listen to the whole podcast review
We are thrilled to receive such a great review again! Thank you!!
bioneural.net reviews CDFinder
And yet another cool review of CDFinder came in. This time, it is from the popular bioneural.net blog.
They write:
"CDFinder is essentially an asset manager that catalogues any file on any volume (CD-ROM, DVD, USB drive, etc). But media metadata are its speciality, and this indexing powerhouse has recently been extended to handle geotags and provide related functionality.
"Free updates since 1996" is nothing short of impressive. I reviewed the change log and that's 54 updates since the first English version was released. Not many companies can boast of such dedication to their existing customer base. The application menu even has a "Send e-mail to author..." option, again indicating a hands-on commitment to customer support (which is free). That kind of approach wins you loyalty."

The feedback from this review is very welcome to the entire team here, and we very much appreciate it!
Mac Recon also reviews CDFinder
The popular blog Mac Recon has written a really amazing review of CDFinder 5.1.
They write:
"CDFinder has a very clean, yet attractive, interface that works out perfectly and actually boosts its productivity. Some may even look at it as a streamlined Finder window because of how easy it is to gain access to any file within it.
But all the cataloguing would be useless if it didn't have equally powerful organizing and searching features. Fortunately, it does.
CDFinder is extremely powerful. It's capable of handling millions of files (hard to test in a computer lab environment, though), and everything seems perfect."

Again, the CDFinder team is really happy to receive such positive praise! Thank you!
Ogle Earth reviews CDFinder

They write:
"So what happens when the developer, Germany's Norbert Doerner, gets bitten by the geotagging bug? Why, he turns CDFinder into a geosearch marvel.
You just know this stuff is eventually going to make it into operating systems by default, it's just that it will take ages."

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Cam Newton's press conference and Colin Cowherd's comments about Newton today are prompting debate. Colin Cowherd (ESPN) told news Monday that "the guy who drafted Cam Newton, just axed in Carolina. Tells you what the organization thinks of Cam".
Cowherd's comments prompted negative reaction by Newton fans today. Listeners have been tweeting back to Colin their frustration with his comments. "Completely inaccurate", "so wrong", "you serious", and "Cam not the problem". Another simply wrote "Colin Cowherd labels Cam Newton a bust…he did much the same the year Rodgers won the MVP. Good job; good effort."
Others, however, were debating Newton's press conference remarks following his lost Sunday. "The past couple of games have been the same script, by the same director. It's kind of getting boring," Cam said Sunday.
Newton tells news that change has to come to his team fast. "This taste, this vibe — I'm not buying it, man. And I don't know what it is, but something's going to have to change." He added "Something's going to have to change real fast."
"It feels like we've been finding a way to lose the game rather than win it, offensively, defensively, on special teams," Newton also told news. "But everybody has to do better, including myself. Just take accountability." The video can be seen HERE.

In a report by KPRC reporter Joel Eisenbaum of Houston, he reports how a local Houston man was a victim of a so-called knockout game. The game involves punching an unsuspecting victim when they are not expecting it and incapacitating them. The story reports that three alleged teens beat up a particular Houston man for no reason at all. Reporter Eisenbaum refers to such a crime as puzzling.
After our first article on the origin of rebellion, we can discern the root cause of senseless criminal activity such as this. Simply put, the origin of this criminal activity has a basis in the sinful human nature that we all have. Yet, although we all have such tendencies as hatred, gossip, maligning, jealousy, anger, revenge and even self-righteousness, we make choices to give in to these mental emotional attitudes or not. What is the alternative to such sinful mental attitude thinking? For the born-again believer in Jesus Christ we find the answer in Galatians 5:22:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Gal. 5:22-23, KJV)
The words 'meekness' and 'temperance' have a reference to humility and self-control, the contrast to arrogance and no self-control. Notice that the fruits of the Spirit are all mental attitudes. The fruits of the Spirit are not an overt action such as serving in the local Church, witnessing, financial giving or even praying. Carnal believers and even certain cults can also claim to do such actions and not even be a born-again believer in Jesus Christ. Not that these responsibilities are not legitimate, but these actions must have a motivation from right mental attitudes. These responsibilities are often taken as spiritual growth, when in reality they are the result of spiritual growth, never the cause for it. Remember that any correct action must always begin with correct thinking, which in turn carries over into correct motivations before they ultimately express themselves in correct actions.
Thus, these fruits of the Spirit or mental attitudes do not mystically happen in a believer like some ministries may teach. The two-fold ministry of God the Holy Spirit for believers is to provide the spiritual I.Q. for learning what the Bible teaches. Yet, without learning what the Bible teaches, there is nothing for the spiritual I.Q. to learn and apply. To produce the fruits of the Spirit a believer must first be under the power of the Holy Spirit so he may then be ready for the second part, learn and apply the principles of the Word of God. The power of the Holy Spirit and the power of the Word of God interconnect with each other to make the greatest power system available to all believers. God's power system is incomplete without one or the other.
In the immature believer God the Holy Spirit has little inventory of biblical truth to use as raw material for producing the fruits of the Spirit. In contrast, in the mature believer the Spirit has the inventory of God's Word to produce the same virtuous attitudes that our Lord exhibited here on earth. Either way, the exercise of the free will of every born-again believer to decide for one or the other is always in effect. We can choose to mature in the Lord or stay immature and ineffective throughout our entire time here in this life.
God never pressures our freedom to choose. He has designed us and knows the best for each of us who have his name. The Lord has documented clear principles and policies for us to live by every moment of our life here on this earth. Unfortunately, when we neglect to learn and apply his power system, we miss out on the prosperity and happiness that he has designed for each of us. We can accept the authority of God's perfect system and put is to use in our lives or we can neglect it and live by Satan's false and imperfect world system. It is unfortunate that many believers, by refusing to learn God's system actually refuse to benefit from the plan of God.
The refusal to learn God's system of virtue is a result of believers building a false system of values and wrong priorities. In addition, for any believer to develop true character strength and the happiness that comes with it, there must always be a foundation of humility. It is in humility that we can have the true freedom that so many are fervently searching for today. It is only in humility that we are teachable (Ps. 25:8-9).
Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. (Ps. 25:8-9, KJV)
Once again, the word 'meek' in verse 9 has a reference to humility. It is this humility that is the key human virtue that a person needs to be teachable. By no means is humility the same as humiliation. Humility is the mental virtue that is free from any kind of arrogance. Humiliation, on the other hand, would include reducing your view of yourself to a low status, not only in the eyes of yourself, but in the eyes of others.
The authority of parents is a design of God to instill humility in their children. As the first authority in the life of a child, parents have the responsibility to train, shape, and inculcate principle in them. The duty of every parent is to teach their child the principles of self-control, self-discipline, poise, and restraint by the positive use of their free will. The positive use of their free will is the means of reaching a genuine humility in life. In this way parental authority over their children manufactures an honorable child. Such honorable children will learn to exhibit good manners, sensitivity, and thoughtfulness of others. In addition, they will also understand to respect the privacy, property and rights of other individuals. It is at this point that a child comes to have true capacity for freedom, life, love, and happiness. The sooner this genuine humility develops in a child, the sooner that child will have a proper orientation to life.
It is unfortunate that many passive parents are not training and inculcating their child and bringing them in the virtue of humility. Proactive parents understand that a child needs teaching in vocabulary, language and how to think with words, sentences and paragraphs. Until a child learns how to think, that loving parent will have to use the rod of discipline on occasion. As our story on KPRC shows, sparing the rod of discipline is why so many children have such a dysfunctional start in their life. There is no suppression of the arrogant tendencies in such children. Instead, their arrogant tendencies gain strength through their promotion by Satan's world system of arrogance (Prov. 13:24).
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him bedtimes. (Prov. 13:24. KJV)
Such children never mature mentally and have an arrogant mind that cannot cope with life except when they are under a maximum form of prosperity. The reality is that life does not offer a perpetuation of prosperity. Unfortunately, such spoiled children go into adulthood to form a big part of our degenerate society. From such a group of immature individuals also comes the demand syndrome.
Yet, once a child leaves the home, they revert to their freedom to make choices. Their freedom to choose is the most powerful thing that they have in their lifetime. We must learn to make good choices on the basis of the facts. Bad decisions come when they have a basis on our emotions in relation to Satan's world system of false norms and standards.
Honorable children develop with a sense of good manners, being thoughtful of others, having respect for the privacy, property and rights of others. Parents train honorable children to respect all systems of authority delegated under the laws of the divine establishments of volition, marriage, family and government. This is when they have a correct orientation to life as they accept all these things in a state of humility. Dishonorable children, reject such things in a state of arrogant thinking. Our story reflects dishonorable children in the tree teens who did not respect the freedom and rights of the Houston man that they beat up for no reason. It is unfortunate that law enforcement will now have to instill a humility in these teens that their passive parents should have done in their home.
Of course, it is never too late for a child that has gone into adulthood with these dysfunctions. The first step to breaking this vicious cycle is through regeneration, when they accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal savior. The second step is to develop spiritual maturity to gradually renovate their immature thinking with sound mature thinking. This maturation process is extremely difficult, especially for those who have never reached any level of maturity as human beings first. Yet, nothing is impossible for God's system of virtue, provided a person exercise their free will to be positive to growing in Jesus Christ. Yet, the growing process first begins with their spiritual birth when they accept Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior (John 3:36)
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36)
In conclusion, in view of our article, the puzzling action of individuals that we hear in the news is not really very puzzling. The biblical view clears the puzzling mysteries of the human nature because it begins with the root cause, the human sinful nature.

The initial signing class, as announced here last November, features 5-10, outside hitter Priscilla Ezeji (Stockton, Calif./St. Mary's HS/City Beach Club), 5-9, setter Megan Moenoa (Long Beach, Calif./Lakewood HS/Mizuno Long Beach Club), 6-3, middle blocker Zoe Nightingale (Sacramento, Calif./St. Francis HS/Force Volleyball Club) and 6-1, middle blocker Olivia Okoro (Carrollton, Texas/Hebron HS/Dallas Premier 17 Mizuno).
The Bruins have also added 6-3, outside hitter Karsta Lowe (Carlsbad, Calif./La Costa Canyon HS/Encinitas Wave) and 6-6, outside hitter Tabitha Love (Dauphin, Manitoba/Dauphin Regional Secondary/Selkirk Royals/University of Minnesota).
Lowe was named to the All-CIF and All-Avocado League first teams as a senior, pacing La Costa Canyon with 2.7 kills per set, adding 44 blocks and 31 digs. She helped the Mavericks to LCC's seventh-straight, CIF Division I title last November.
Love played two seasons at Minnesota, helping the Golden Gophers to the National Semifinals in 2009. She averaged 2.63 kills per set as a freshman, earning Big Ten All-Freshman Team accolades. Last year, Love was first on the squad with 3.47 kps and earned her second-career, Big Ten Player of the Week award.
Below is PrepVolleyball.com's take on the Bruins' class:
UCLA's 2011 class is very unique in that every incoming player has a legitimate chance to become a starter right away. Moenoa has been setting at a very high level since her pre-teen years. Considered one of the elite setters nationally in this class, she plays much bigger than her height, is a very good right side blocker and will be a challenge for opposing outside hitters. Ezeji might not be a household name in the club volleyball world, but she has the power and athletic ability to single-handedly dismantle top club teams. She has a standing jump of 10-0 and an approach touch of over 10-4 and possesses an amazing hitting range, a power player who terminate down the line, over the top and sharp cross court equally well. Nightengale is an active, hard-working blocker who is very aggressive laterally and closes the seam at an elite level. At 6-3, she is long and fast and can attack behind the setter off of one foot very well. "She is going to give us a faster option behind the setter than we have had recently and could well be the spark in our offense that allows us to go faster at every position," said Sealy. Okoro, who enrolled early, has held her own and outplayed some seasoned collegiate middle blockers in spring matches. She is young and hungry and wants to learn and improve daily. While undersized on paper, her 10-4 approach touch makes her a viable weapon versus any opponent. When her experience catches up to her physicality, the sky is the limit for her. Lowe was considered a "project" early in her club career. A 6-3 lefty, she attacked with great range and just needed to get physically stronger. In the last year, she has improved her strength and attacks the ball now with range and power. She has the size and abilities to play right away and will be very difficult to stop both in and out of system. UCLA also will benefit from the transfer of Tabi Love, a two-year starter on the outside for Minnesota. A top 10 recruit out of high school, this 6-6 Canadian will bring immediate and immense terminating power to Westwood.

The smartphones and tablets millions of us use every day may also keep us awake. In the American Chemical Society's (ACS') latest Reactions video, find out how the light emitted from those devices triggers a chemical reaction that tells our brains to rise-and-shine, rather than snooze, explains the May 19, 2014 news release, "Sleep and smartphones: The chemistry that keeps you awake -- video ." The video "How Smartphones Keep You Awake - Reactions," is available on at this YouTube website.
And the video explains the chemical reaction as to why people who work many hours a day on computers complain they may have trouble getting to sleep at night. It's the type of light emitted from smart phones, tablets, and computers that changes the chemicals in your brain to think it's morning, and you stay awake and/or fight it difficult to get to sleep at night.
That backlighting in various screen devices alters the chemicals in your brain such as melatonin to shake your brain awake so you won't be able to easily get back to sleep. So don't use that type of backlighting as a night light in your bedroom. The blue light emitted from smart cell phones, tablets, or computers tells your brain to wake you up. What you should have had is red light that tells your brain/body to sleep.
You also may wish to subscribe to the series at Reactions YouTube, and follow us on Twitter @ACSreactions to be the first to see the society's latest videos. The American Chemical Society is a nonprofit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. With more than 161,000 members, ACS is the world's largest scientific society and a global leader in providing access to chemistry-related research through its multiple databases, peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences. Its main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.
Impact of aging on use of smart phones
The buttons, letters, and numbers on many types of cell phones or mobile tablets are too small for aging eyes and fingers, and sounds need to be adjustable for aging ears, if voices need to be made louder by adjustment abilities of the devices. Age-related difficulties in texting and emailing on smart phones will be investigated by a University of Strathclyde academic. Dr Mark Dunlop will examine the effect of getting older on people's ability to use touch-screen mobile technologies, including smart phones. He believes this issue will become increasingly important as the workforce ages.
Dr Dunlop said, according to an October 10, 2013 news release, Impact of aging on smart phone use to be examined, "It's estimated around 25% of emails are now opened on mobiles and as the older working population rises – due to both ageing population demographics and increasing retirement age – more workers will need to keep using their mobile technologies for work into their mid-to-late 60s. Furthermore, many people will want to continue professional, social and lifestyle usage into their late retirement, as the technologies can support increased community involvement and personal independence. Given increasing retirement ages and increasing use of smartphones for both work and social life, this research could have a major impact on personal wellbeing and the UK economy.
"Upcoming EU legislation is likely to require services that are seen as critical for the citizen to participate in society to be accessible to disabled and older people," he explained according to the news release. "Age UK states this is likely to cover information and communication technologies, including mobile phones, and encourages the UK government to support the legislation."
Most mobile technologies now rely on touch-screen keyboards for popular functions such as email, social networking, texting and web or map searches. Dr Dunlop told how the ageing process – associated with a decline in hearing, sight, working memory, selective attention and motor control – can interfere with people's ability to use mobile technology
Dr Dunlop, of the Computer and Information Sciences Department in Strathclyde's Science Faculty, said, according to the news release, "While there have been numerous studies into text entry usage on touchscreens, there has been very little work studying the effects of aging on text entry – and none on modern touch-screen phones where reduced visual acuity, reduced motor control and reduced working memory are all likely to have an impact.
"At the moment, industry is focussed on targeting the current main market of younger users. Our initial studies have also shown that older users may be willing to adopt new keyboard layouts and technologies more than younger users, who have different experiences with the QWERTY layout."
As part of Dr Dunlop's two-year investigation – backed with £286,000 of Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council funding – his research team will work with older adults to conduct participatory design sessions of prototype keyboards, to test how effectively they can use different forms of touch-screen entry methods.
The study will also look at how text entry for older people is affected by the design features of most modern mobile technologies, such as soft keys that are glossy, require almost no force to activate and have no visible gap between them. Dr Dunlop added, according to the news release, "The project is also likely to give initial insights into the needs of other specific groups of people that could be taken up with future research, for example looking at systems to support tremor problems associated with Parkinson's disease, or for highly-visible keyboards for visually-impaired people."
When smart phones project images on the wall
Future smart phones will project images on the wall. A new laser light source has a global market in consumer electronics, says recent research findings explained in a February 28, 2012 news release, "Future smart phones will project images on the wall." Mobile phones currently on the market are capable of showing high quality images and video, but the phones' small size sets insurmountable limits on screen size, and thus the viewing experience. VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, EpiCrystals Oy and the Aalto University are developing a better laser light source for projectors that will be integrated into mobile phones, which will enable accurate and efficient projection of, for example, photographs and movies on any surface. Mobile phones equipped with the laser light source can be within the ordinary consumer's reach already in a few years time.
Small-size laser projectors 1-2 centimetres in length can be integrated into many kinds of electronic appliances, such as digital or video cameras, gaming devices and mobile phones. Integrated micro projectors could, in practice, project images the size of an A3 sheet of paper on a wall. The challenge is to develop a small, energy-efficient and luminous three-colour (RGB) light source, whose manufacturing costs can be kept low, for use in the projectors. Solutions for these challenges are sought in a project combining Finnish know-how, whose parties are VTT, EpiCrystals Inc. and the Aalto University.
"The project has successfully combined multi-technological know-how from VTT and its partners in the project, from manufacturing materials and the accurate focusing of laser chips all the way to production line design. The project was launched last autumn, and we are now entering the stage where we can move from brainstorming and design to building prototypes. It is our goal to prove by next summer that large quantities of the new laser light sources can be manufactured quickly and economically," says Principal Scientist Timo Aalto from VTT.
EpiCrystals Inc. aims straight for the global market with its product, and it is the company's goal to be the technology and market leader in laser light sources for micro projectors by 2015
"We are developing an entirely new technology that is currently not in use anywhere else in the world. At the moment, there are stand-alone projectors on the market that can be connected to electronic appliances and early stage integrated projectors, but their quality and price are not competitive enough. Large electronics manufacturers are extremely interested in integrated projectors, and market research shows that demand for these micro projectors will increase strongly in the coming years. Soon, around two billion mobile phones per year will be sold in the world, and if even a couple of per cent of those contain a projector, we are talking about tens of millions of copies, and the hundred million mark is not far either", says Vice President of Business Development Tomi Jouhti of EpiCrystals Oy, according to the February 28, 2012 news release, "Future smart phones will project images on the wall."
EpiCrystals' laser modules will be mass-produced in Asia, but the research and development will remain in Finland also in the future. The VTT, EpiCrystals and Aalto University project has received funding from the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation Tekes, among others.

I met the cool and talented Lykke Li at Ohne Titel yesterday, not only is her music great, her style to die for but she is also very nice. I found out that her beauty regime is to clean her skin with almond oil, rinse with Shiseido cleanser followed by moisturizer from Dermalogica.

My hair is normally quite flat, but now after I cut it again, oh yeah I cut my hair shorter at Inch, Kirstin Arnesen cut it so wonderfully. I think I wont get used to getting big hair, cause my hair was always flat no matter how much drizzle, but now it just grows so big in the rain. Apart from that I'm so happy that I cut it, it feels amazing and my hair is super healthy again. Today was another super day at New York fashion week. The cherry on top today was to see the Alexander Wang show, at the end I had goose bumps. I'm wearing shoes from Nina Jarebrink, Dress from Acne, bag from Alexander Wang and umbrella from Moma.
Most of you may already have gotten the news about "The September Issue" where Anna Wintour has let a camera team follow her and her team behind the scenes for the making of the best selling most important issue of the year. It seems like they really opened the doors to the secret life of Vogue. Here is the trailer.
I arrived in New York yesterday and had my first day of fashion week today. The weather was far from fashion week friendly, huge raindrops and wind coming in from the side, so I could not wear what I initially had intended, but ended up with a good one anyway. Unfortunately I didn't have time to capture myself, but I did see this wonderful girl and her painted eyebrows, a-m-a-z-i-n-g!
I have had the most amazing vacation ever! There was white beaches and turquoise water. My outfits was cool and perfect for the heat but most weren't really blog worthy, it was so warm that I wanted wear as little as possible. But I shot the good ones. And I gave myself props for coming closer to the perfect vacation suitcase. This outfit came together by coincidence but I must have had one of my favorite pictures in the back of my mind, when I realized that after getting dressed I looked at it again and added the necklace, which is from H&M, dress from Zara and shorts from a store I don't remember the name of in Soho New York.
Peter Elofsson filmed me in Central Park for the lipsticks I have made with Zanzuel. I had a blast making it and the whole team was so much fun. It's cool seeing the end result. Music by Fisherspooner.
I'm on vacation and it's truly amazing (and will therefore not post in the coming days). I finally got to wear the dress I bought from the Garment Room a few months back. It's from the 18th century and almost falling apart, the fabric is frail and thin and the detailing is like a piece of art. Underneath I'm wearing my sequined bra.

MONTROSE, Ga. (AP) -- One westbound lane of Interstate 16 in central Georgia remains closed early Thursday, a day after four people were killed and nine others injured in a fiery pileup near Montrose.
The chain-reaction around 8:10 Wednesday involved more than two dozen cars and trucks. The stretch of interstate runs between Macon and Savannah.
Georgia Department of Transportation officials said the right, westbound lane is expected to be closed until noon Thursday.
Georgia State Patrol operator Terri Graffagnino tells The Telegraph (http://bit.ly/WwdnHM) that a trooper was out all night checking for lingering smoke from controlled burns in the area. She said the trooper has been patrolling overnight from mile markers 36 to 54, where fog routinely gets thick.
Dense fog was reported in the area Wednesday morning. Georgia State Patrol Capt. Kirk McGlamery said motorists also reported smoke across the highway.

Asthma is a disease that affects the airways that carry oxygen in and out of the lungs. If a person has asthma, the inside of these airways is irritated and swollen. The airways are sensitive and more likely to react strongly to allergens and irritants in the air. Asthma episodes and more serious asthma attacks are caused by triggers. Important asthma triggers are:
- cockroach allergen
- dust mites
- emotional states that can lead to hyperventilation and an asthma attack.
- foods and food additives
- medicines
- mold
- outdoor air pollution
- pets
- strenuous physical exercise
- tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke)
- weather, such as thunderstorms, high humidity, or freezing temperatures
Asthma and the Environment
A number of studies have reported associations between air pollution exposures and asthma. Specifically, researchers have found an association between increased hospital admissions for asthma and particulate matter, an outdoor air pollutant. Air pollution can make asthma symptoms worse and trigger attacks. Two key air pollutants can affect asthma. One is ozone (found in smog). The other is fine particulate pollution (found in haze, smoke, and dust). When ozone and particle pollution are in the air, adults and children with asthma are more likely to have symptoms. Ozone is often worst on hot summer days, especially in the afternoons and early evenings. Particle pollution can be bad any time of year, even in winter. It can be especially bad when the weather is calm, allowing air pollution to build up. Particle levels can also be high near busy roads, during rush hour, and around factories and when smoke is in the air from wood stoves, fireplaces, or burning vegetation.
Exposure and Risk
A person can get asthma at any age. Asthma affects all races, ages, and genders. Although asthma affects people of all ages, it often starts in childhood and is more common in children than in adults.
Reduce Your Risks
To avoid having asthma symptoms caused by environmental triggers you should minimize dust, control pet dander, and eliminate mold, allergens, and irritants in your home, school or workplace. Since air pollution can trigger asthma symptoms, you should be aware of pollution levels in your area and check air quality alerts before going outdoors or participating in strenuous outdoor activities. You can also sign up with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) EnviroFlash to receive free automatic air quality forecasts to your e-mail, cell phone or pager.

Most people have at least heard of the wildly-popular TV show "The Walking Dead" and are familiar with the term "zombie apocalypse." According to the L.A. Times on April 30, however, a Florida senator has now introduced the term in an amendment to Senate Bill 296.
Senator Jeff Brandes is the original author of Senate Bill 296. His intent was to allow people to carry concealed firearms during a state of emergency without threat of criminal prosecution, whether or not they had the proper concealed carry permit.
The problem with that, according to opponents, is that an emergency could be defined as something like a hurricane. Would you need to carry a concealed weapon to deal with a hurricane?
Enter Senator Dwight Bullard. Bullard filed an amendment to Senate Bill 296 entitled "An act relating to the zombie apocalypse." Bullard thought the original bill was "laughable" and this was his way of injecting humor into the hotly-contested subject.
Bullard is trying to make a point. "For me, as laughable as the amendment might seem, it's equally laughable that people who haven't gone through the proper training, the background check, the license to carry – we're saying because of a hurricane or flooding or sinkhole, these individuals have gone from gun owners to concealed carry permit holders," Bullard told the Huffington Post. "I'd argue a crisis is probably the last instance in which you want someone who is not a concealed permit holder to carry a weapon."
The state of Florida requires training to "provide proof of proficiency with a firearm," as well as a background check for a concealed carry permit. If passed, Senate Bill 296 will eliminate this requirement, depending on how you define the term emergency.
And although many will think this is simply silly politics, Senator Bullard is not the first government representative to bring zombies into play. In 2011, the Centers for Disease Control put out a novella, the "Zombie Pandemic." The publication is actually a survival guide teaching people what they need in a disaster, such as water, a flashlight, extra batteries and a first aid kit, among other things.
