MARCH 2011 chainstoreage.com 41 Retail Store of the Year Stéphane Brügger, Montreal Best Overall Entry Barneys New York Co-Op Brooklyn, N.Y. Design: AEdifica, Montreal Wood timber floors, repurposed industrial tables, retro chairs and area rugs give a warm feel to the lower level of Barneys New York Co-Op. Barneys New York Co-Op, in Brooklyn, N.Y., took top honors in Chain Store Age's 29th annual Store of the Year Retail Design Competition. In addition to being named best overall entry, or Store of the Year, the two-level, 9,400-sq.-ft. store placed first in two other categories: softlines (5, sq. ft. to 15,000 sq. ft.) and fitting rooms. Barneys Co-Op, designed by AEdifica, Montreal, has a minimalist, uncluttered and modern-urban look that embodies the essence of the Co-Op brand and directs all attention to the designer merchandise on display. With a design theme inspired by the avant-garde art galleries that abound in the area, the store is in tune with the emerging character of the neighborhood, while being respectful of Brooklyn's history. An art gallery feel permeates the space even as it remains grounded and inclusive. "The presence of raw materials and industrial finishes helps to balance things out and echoes the Brooklyn vibe," said Stéphane Bernier, director of retail design, AEdifica, Montreal, which served as design firm and architect on the project. "The color palette is restricted to shades of white and gray, and the materials to rustic pine and hot-rolled steel." 42 The main floor is designed to echo the ambience of a modern art gallery. It is a raw space with an open floor plan, painted concrete blocks, blackened steel and exposed conduits. Large solid-timber tables, reminiscent of makeshift workbenches or drafting tables, serve as jewelry display tables and also as the cashwraps. The lower floor, with its reclaimed-wood clad floors and walls, is styled as the living quarters of an artist-inresidence. It has a warmer, more intimate feel. Couches, area rugs and fitting rooms dressed with bathroom tiles contribute to the loft-like environment. "The sharp contrast in tonality and materials between the ground floor and basement adds a dose of energy to the space," Bernier said. An industrial staircase, with a sequence of wood and steel steps, connects the two levels and creates a strong visual element in the basement. FITTING ROOMS: The fitting rooms on each floor have their own distinct environment. "The overall concept of "reversed contrast" was used: The predominantly white sales area on the ground floor has wood-clad fitting rooms, while the basement, with chainstoreage.com MARCH 2011 The raw industrial backbone of the space is evident on the ground floor. The building's main power conduits and panels are located directly behind the cashwrap (left). as "repurposed washrooms" to further express the "artist's living quarters" theme of the space. "The walls are clad with white metro tiles installed in a brick pattern, and the floor is made up of a white hexagonal mosaic tile," Bernier said. To add a touch of warmth, a beige wool area rug is installed in each cabin, acting as the artist's "shower mat." CHALLENGES: The project was not without its challenges. "Convincing customers to go down to a basement is always a challenge in retail," Bernier said. "We wanted the basement to feel inviting and reward the customer with a rich, vibrant and creative experience. This is why we came up with our metaphor of the 'artist in residence's living quarters.' " Another challenge was the fairly low ceilings, which eliminated the option of concealing the pipes and conduits. As a solution, the design team chose to keep the space raw and celebrate the mechanical components. Fake pipes and dummy panels were added to create a sculptural effect behind the cashwrap and enhance the industrial look. "The cashwrap is my favorite part of the store," Bernier said. "We're really excited by the graphical motif and sculptural effect of that corner wall, with the electrical conduits on one side creating a very linear texture, while the array of electrical panels on the other side creates a mosaic of odd-sized rectangles. The inside joke around this feature is that we imagined it as the entrance exam for an electrician: How fast he could figure out which panels are blank and which panels are 'live' A collection of artist's illustrations add a whimsical touch to the women's apparel would determine if he was qualified to fitting rooms, which are clad with reclaimed wood slats. work in the store!" its wood floor and walls, has white-tiled fitting rooms," Bernier explained. The ground-floor men's fitting rooms feature reclaimed wood cladding and sand-colored wool carpet. Standard industrial hollow-steel doors are painted dark gray and centered within a supersized door frame. Other features include a full-height mirror with a hot-rolled steel frame with backlighting and a bench made of reclaimed solid timber. The same basic concept was applied to the ground-floor women's fitting rooms, with the addition of a large bench upholstered with a silver metallic fabric and a painted mural on the exterior walls. In contrast, the basement-level fitting rooms are designed MARCH 2011 chainstoreage.com 43 Wolverine World Wide, Rockford, Mich. Retail Store of the Year Softlines (less than 5,000 sq. ft.)

Women everywhere, rejoice! Released this morning was the very first trailer for the upcoming movie "Fifty Shades of Grey," the highly anticipated film based on the racy, best-selling, erotic romance novel by E.L. James. It is set to hit theaters on Valentine's Day 2015.
Watch the trailer above, or you can see it here.
The film stars Dakota Johnson as the female lead, Anastasia Steele and Jamie Dornan as the tormented billionaire, Christian Grey. The book raised eyebrows and became a controversial talking point for its explicitly detailed sex scenes, including acts of bondage, dominance/submission and BDSM. The casting process was hugely publicized in the media and this trailer will be the audience's first look at Johnson and Dornan in the two main roles.
Female director Sam Taylor-Johnson was chosen to direct the film. Her only previous feature-film directing credit was for the 2009 film, Nowhere Boy, which starred Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a young John Lennon.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" also stars Marcia Gay Harden, Jennifer Ehle, Max Martini, Luke Grimes and Eloise Mumford.
So what do you think? Do the actors resemble the picture of Anastasia and Christian that you had in your head? Are you looking forward to this new film? Will the movie live up to the book, or will the book ultimately be more effective in that it relies on the reader's imagination?
We will surely see more as we get closer to Valentine's Day. Until then, enjoy the trailer.

"I put together"
Translation: "Leg Godt". Or what we call Lego- has been around since 1932. The product of a Master Carpenter's idea of playtime with building bricks.
Lego has now made it to film. Sure there are video game Legos but Warner Bros. has stepped up with the new Lego movie which has started a buzz bigger than Despicable Me. See: 'Lego Movie' More Buzzworthy.
What do you think: The Lego movie should have a sequel, like most animated films. Do you agree?
According to the Lego IMDB, an ordinary Lego minifigure is recruited to stop an evil LEGO tyrant from gluing the universe together. That premise alone should be incredible to see since Lego is a classic.
Speaking of classic, the animation is not done in "smooth" computer animated form. The world and characters actually resemble the Lego building blocks we all have grew up on.
Other films like "The Little Mermaid" and "Lion King" are instant classics tied to memories of Disney; and DreamWorks has gained popularity traction with films like "Kung Fu Panda" and "Shrek". Warner Bros. brought us Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny and Marvin the Martian.
And now, Warner Bros. is giving us building blocks that can move and speak- Lego has finally arrived.

Half Acre Beer Company Tap Room, 4257 N Lincoln Ave., Chicago (773) 248-4038
As you know, our taproom is not equipped with a kitchen. Problem is: we love food. Solution: why not ask our friends at Sunday Dinner Club/Honey Butter Fried Chicken to do a "residency" at our taproom. They said "yes." We said "yeay!" And we are happy to announce that the first of many recurrent dinners is going to be held on Monday Feb. 17th. For our maiden residency we have settled on none other than SDC's French-bean-stew-gone-rogue Cassoulet. The cassoulet is served in a big 'ol bowl with extra strong dijon mustard and comes with chocolate mint cookie truffles for dessert -- you also get two pints of any of our beers on tap, plus a 5 oz pour to go with dessert. Price for the combo: a democratic $40 through Brown Paper Tickets.

7:00 pm ♦ Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel Release Party
The Bar on Buena, 910 W. Buena Ave, Chicago, IL
The Bar on Buena, Merchant du Vin, Louis Glunz Beer, Inc. and Ayinger Brewery announce the arrival of Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel—available for the first time on draft in the US.
Though it has long been available in bottles, guests can be one of the first to taste this authentic Bavarian dark lager on draft. The name of the brew literally translates to "Old Bavarian Dark Beer" and is the most traditional beer in Bavaria. Before light beers were introduced from the big cities, most village beer—like most village bread—was dark, tasty and flavorful. This is no exception as it is pouring dark brown with a sweet aroma and satisfying malty taste with coffee-ish tones and a hint of fruitiness.
This lovely lager will be welcomed to the taps at The BOB and featured as long as supplies last (so get in quick!) For more information, check out the Facebook Event Page.

The Yosemite Swim Team completed the recent short course season by competing in two meets.
The first championship meet, the B/C Meet, held on Feb. 9 and 10 in Visalia, was open to swimmers with B or C times from previous meets. The Yosemite team was represented by seven swimmers at the meet: Aaron Mulkey 15, Summer Bulmer 15, Ellery Meade 13, Samantha Rockey 12, Megan Rapp 11, Theo Tuggle 11, and Shelby Radliff, 9.
"All our swimmers swam their personal best times for the season at the meet and brought home ribbons in their age group," coach Jules Tuggle said.
Four swimmers from the team met the time standards to participate in the Central California Junior Olympics. Those swimmers were Mulkey, Theo Tuggle, Lola Beams 8, and Claire Tuggle, 8. These four competed against the fastest swimmers from all over the state and achieved many of their own personal best records.
The 8-year-old girls had an outstanding meet and team member Tuggle took first place in all five of the events she was entered in (50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 50 backstroke, 50 butterfly and 100 individual medley) and was named all-around high scorer for her age division.
Lola Beams won a 3rd place, two 6th places and an 8th place.
The season began in September and culminated in the B/C Championships and Junior Olympics meet in February. Team members participated in two meets once or twice a month throughout the Central Valley from Merced to Bakersfield.
"Our small Mountain Area team was able to bring 10 to 20 swimmers to the meets and were competitive against the larger Valley teams," said coach Tuggle. "USA swimming structures its meets around individual time standards to provide every swimmer an opportunity for personal growth and success," coach Tuggle said. "Swimming in general allows all different abilities and interests to find a place on the team. We are so lucky to have a year round USA team here in the mountains."

One of the joys of film festivals is the variety of subjects and genres covered. Another good fortune is encore screening of most films or short films if missed the first time. I had the opportunity to view six short films selected for the Lesbian Short Films for the Atlanta Film Festival. The following is a review of each.
The Roe Effect
Directed by Kiel Scott
19 minutes
Dawn (Nia Fairweather) is a high schooler hiding her romantic relationship with girlfriend Sam (Cher Santiago). After finding out she's pregnant via sexual abuse, she finds herself at a Catch-22. Meanwhile, a male classmate Sean, who is unaware of Dawn's pregnancy and relationship with Sam (James Holloway), takes a liking to Dawn thus giving her an outlet. Even though this movie is 19 minutes long, it's extremely heartbreaking and emotionally intense with Dawn's situation. It is recommended if you are interested in this subject matter, but not if this subject is too much.
Grade B+
Simple Pleasures
Directed by Matthew Mendelson
10 minutes
Susan is one night away from her husband at a teacher's conference. Trying to rekindle her romance with a former female colleague, she ends up getting picked up by a feisty stranger at a bar. This appears to be the least developed story of the series of short films. There were a couple moments of comic relief, but otherwise wasn't effective. The chemistry between Susan and her one-night stand is not there thus the intensity of their lust is lacking. If a few more minutes were added to the story, then it might work. Otherwise, skip it.
Grade: D
Directed by Antoine Arditti
6 minutes
This animated short tells the story of Yulia, a young woman experiencing a deus ex machina by being transported from her kitchen to a bare room with five levers on a wall. Pulling them one by one, she is lead to her true love. This was one of the best shorts of the screening. The best part about this film is there are no words spoken - it's told in jibberish! With the power of the internet, it is available to view online. See this sweet story here.
Grade: A
Public Relations
Directed by Gianna Sobol
18 minutes
Geared toward the twenty-somethings, this is an update of the pen-pal relationship. An LA-based assistant finally meets her online/phone buddy when she moves from New York to California. After their seredipitous meeting at a cupcake shop, one thing leads to another... Even though this short has great chemistry for the two attractive female leads and great comic relief, the ending cuts short. It is recommended for those who want a good laugh and something entertaining.
Grade: B
One Night
Directed by Laura John Cronin
14 minutes
Allie is a socially awkward young woman with her mind set on wooing a fellow baseball member. Told in flashback, she recalls trying to pick her up. Unfortunately, things turn for the worse making the potential night of fun into a nightmare. The storyline was intriguing up to the point of the "twist" that occurred. After that, it went downhill and was a disappointment.
Grade: C
To Comfort You
Directed by Marc Saltarelli
15 minutes
What appear to be a regular phone call between a mother, Angela (Susan Blakely), and daughter, Theresa (NCIS's Pauley Perrette), takes a turn for the worse. Living with HIV/AIDS, she and her mother talk about life, her condition, and so on. This is by far the best short of the series. It's funny, touching, heartbreaking, and very well done. The acting is superb and is a must see.
Grade: A

The Keg Steakhouse + Bar, Toronto, ON
It had been a while since we'd all gotten together ... it was fun to catch up.
We went to the new Keg on the Esplanade. It's swanky!
And here we are ... me, Liz, Deb, Rona and Franca.
I had Teriyaki Chicken (marinated in their own Teriyaki sauce and served with garlic mashed potatoes) ... the lowest calorie dish I could find on the menu.
It was good and very filling!
Here are Liz and I ...
And Deb, Rona and Franca ...
And as we were leaving ... me, Liz, Rona, Deb and Franca ...
Good friends ... good times!

Handler grew up the youngest of six children in a nondrinking household in the New Jersey suburbs. "I've wanted people to know my name since I could talk," she says. At 16, upon learning that she was pregnant, Handler ran away to Niagara Falls with a girlfriend in the same fix. There, she tried to dye her hair red ("as if I was a famous person and the police were going to be looking for me"), but it turned bright orange. "It took us about 48 hours to realize we're not going to make it here. Let's just go back and tell our parents we're pregnant," says Handler, who ended up having an abortion. "That my hair turned orange was more of an impetus for me to go home than the lack of jobs in Niagara Falls."
After high school and a halfhearted layover at a community college, she moved to Los Angeles at age 19, determined to become famous. Handler struggled as an actress but, after a couple of years waiting tables ("Now I'm a very generous tipper"), turned to comedy at 21 and found the track to success. She published her first book, a humorous sex memoir called My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands, in 2005; landed Chelsea Lately in 2007; and made Time's 100 Most Influential People list in 2012. Today she reportedly hauls in at least $10 million annually, lives in a house in L.A.'s posh Bel Air neighborhood, drives a Tesla ("Whatever the nicest one is, is the one I got"), is pals with Charlize Theron, Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow and has a personal assistant who packs her underwear for trips in clear Baggies labeled fresh panties.
"The life I live now is better than any life I could have imagined," she says. "If someone had told me 20 years ago that I was going to be able to live like this, support my family, take friends on amazing vacations and be able to run a company—I never thought of myself as somebody who could be in charge in the way that I am. All of that is possible just by really, really working hard."
Also possible, it seems, is marriage, which Handler, who in the past dated TV executive Ted Harbert, rapper 50 Cent and hotelier André Balazs, had long ruled out. "I'm not getting married right now, but in 10 years or even five, if I met somebody I was really in love with, I wouldn't mind being married once," she says, adding with a laugh, "I don't see it going very long."
Closing in on 40 can give you that kind of perspective. Handler turned 39 in February but says, "Now I just assume I'm 40 because 39 is so close to 40." And 40 is fine by her. "I feel like I look younger than I have in a while and act it. But I also feel more adultlike because in the last few years I know how to bifurcate my social and professional life more than I did. They used to meld and blend together, but now they are definitely separate."
She anticipates throwing a blowout bash for her 40th birthday. So how did she celebrate her 39th? Theron gave her a ladies' brunch in L.A. "I wanted this to be mellow," says Handler, who was gearing up for her book promotion and stand-up tour. Instead, it turned into a girls-gone-freaky fête—and all because of a gluten-free birthday cake, brought by a friend. Handler tries to follow a gluten-free diet but owns up to frequently cheating—and Theron called her on it. "Charlize said to me, 'Why don't you man up and be a real woman and eat whatever the hell you want and stop eating this -gluten-free bullshit?' I'm paraphrasing," says Handler. "And then my friend Mary [actress Mary McCormack] said, 'You need to pull your pants down and sit in that cake.' So I did. And I have the evidence to prove it."

Hope Solo, 32-year-old pro soccer goalkeeper and two-time Olympic gold medalist, was taken into police custody in the early morning hours of June 21. The celebrity sports star is being held without bail and charged with two counts of investigation of domestic-violence assault. Police arrested Solo at her home last night after she allegedly hit "her sister and nephew at her home that she shares with ex-NFL player Jerramy Stevens in Kirkland, Wash.," according to Fox Sports.
The alleged assaults reportedly followed an argument with her sister and nephew while family members gathered at Solo's home. Kirkland police were called to Solo's and Stevens' home to investigate a noise complaint as well as an assault complaint. Lt. Mike Murray of the Kirkland Police Department told reporters today that "There was a big party going on at her house. It was an out-of-control situation. There were visible injuries on them."
Upon hearing of their goalie's arrest, The Seattle Reign FC released a statement saying that they were aware of the situation and are "currently gathering information." The Seattle Reign refused to comment any further on Solo's arrest.
The Seattle Times shared the information from the Kirkland Police Department's report on the situation, which stated that the cops were called to a 911 at Solo's residence just before 1:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. A male caller was saying that a woman at the house was "hitting people" and that she wouldn't leave. Upon arriving at the scene, police said that they could hear sounds of commotion coming from inside the house.
Cops say that when they entered the residence, they made contact with several individuals inside including Hope Solo, "who appeared intoxicated and upset." Police said they could see visible injuries apparent on Solo's sister and Solo's 17-year-old nephew.
After receiving statements of the persons involved, Officers determined that Solo was the primary aggressor and had instigated the assault.
Solo was arrested, charged with two counts of Domestic Violence Assault 4th Degree, and booked into the south King County detention facility. Solo will appear in Kirkland Municipal Court to face charges on June 23.
The last time we heard about Solo being involved in a domestic violence incident, she was on the receiving end of the abuse from now husband Jerramy Stevens. Solo married Stevens a few hours after he was released from custody. For more on that story, see the video accompanying this article.

Hamburg Running
By marchamilton on Jun 21, 2009
Before leaving London I had time to grab a quick breakfast at one of the many restaurants located in the Covent Garden area a few blocks from my hotel. There are many small bakeries, cafes, pubs, and varied international fare tucked into the back alleys, although I never found the garden.
Hamburg promised even better running around the beautiful Binnenalster Lake formed out of the river that runs through town. The jogging path around the lake is a little less than 10K and easily accessed from my hotel, Le Meridian. With the next few days packed with customer meetings and International Supercomputer Conference events, I'll need every bit of the nearly 20 hours of daylight right now to get in my daily run.
If your in town this morning, don't miss out on Andy Bechtolsheim's presentation at the Sun HPC Consortium on Sun's HPC Roadmap.
