What to Know
Click on Each Question for the Answer:
What does the rate include?
Manilow Suites' rates include: maid service one day a week, electricity, local & long distance calls within the continental US, 55" & 42" TVs, expanded cable, WiFi, stereo system, King-size beds in master bedrooms and blackout drapes in select buildings. Paper products and bath soap are provided during the guests' entire stay, as well as quality furniture and furnishings. If there is anything additional you need added or changed, all you have to do is call our office.
What is Manilow Suites all about?
For 34 years our goal has been to provide our guests with the greatest comfort and conveniences possible in temporary housing.
Some of our competitors have a tagline "Your home away from home." I do not agree. This is not your home, it's not your furniture, and it's for a short-term stay.
If you are coming to Chicago for a project or a new position, while acclimating to your new job and finding a new home, you don't want to concern yourself about your temporary housing. That's why everything we do and everything we provide is focused on your comfort, convenience and flexibility.
What is the difference between a corporate apartment and a hotel?
500 sq. feet versus 1200 sq. feet. There is still a great difference in the size of the apartment versus a hotel room, or even an extended stay hotel. In addition, the corporate apartment provides a full kitchen and a residential living feeling. Most people truly enjoy the spaciousness of an apartment and the neighborhood environs of a luxury high-rise building. Surprisingly, the latest luxury high-rise buildings offer more amenities than a hotel.
What's the difference between Manilow Suites and
other corporate housing companies?
So many things! Let me just give you a couple examples:
We make the suggestions as to which buildings may suit your needs and why. When calling our office, a member of our extraordinary staff will answer the phone. We always take the time to explain the best possible alternatives and the different neighborhoods. The other differences, our quality, amenities, responsiveness and what are most proud of, the value for our hard-earned dollar. We always say we are the Four Seasons of corporate housing with Marriott prices.
No one can come close to our expertise. Tell us what your ideal scenario would be.
Our Locations
In 35 years we have certainly learned a lot about what buildings best serve temporary housing. One property may be perfect for summer and horrible for the winter. Unlike other corporate housing companies that will take apartments anywhere and everywhere, Manilow Suites has been extremely selective. All of our downtown properties are on 12 month leases with our own furniture, furnishings, and housekeepers. We have chosen 12 buildings based on a series of criteria that meet the needs of our diverse clientele.
Who stays with Manilow Suites?
The largest percentage of people who stay in a Manilow suite are corporate employees. They range from CEOs, senior management, middle management, consultants and interns. We have worked with numerous companies or many years. In fact, I personally do not know of one company who has not come back because they were unhappy with Manilow Suites.
Our flexibility is the greatest asset for corporations. Many people relocating have no idea when they will close on their new home. We make it easy. Manilow Suites only has a five business day notice to vacate. In addition, should a guest suddenly have to leave prior to their 30-day stay, we switch over to a daily rate, which never exceeds the monthly rate.
We must also mention the wonderful people who come to visit their grandchildren in the summer as well as the numerous movie stars, theater performers, athletes, and individuals coming to tour our beautiful city.
Our staff is always available to answer questions and do whatever to assist our guests.
Throughout the years we have all been so privileged to meet many wonderful people from all over the world.
If you walk in the door and are not happy, what's our
cancellation policy?
We never want anyone to stay with us if they're not happy. The first thing we want to know is, what's wrong and can it be fixed immediately. If needed, we will move you to either another building or apartment. If all else fails and there is a genuine complaint, we will give the guest two free nights and they can leave without paying the balance of their 30 day stay. However, it is imperative that any problems are communicated to Manilow Suites within the first 24 hours of the guest's arrival. The simple truth is, we care and we want everyone to be pleased with everything Manilow Suites provides.
Scenario: The guest is in an apartment for a few days. Something happens and they must leave immediately. To our knowledge we are the only company in Chicago that will exchange the monthly rate for the daily rate and charge the lesser of the two. An example would be someone occupying an apartment for 3 to 5 days. They would be charged the daily rate which would be far less than the monthly rate.
Flexibility to assist the client or guest applies to everything at Manilow Suites.
How many days notice to vacate?
Just give us a five business day notice to vacate. That's it! There are just a few exceptions to the rule.
What is the policy if you need to extend at the last minute?
We do everything possible to keep you in your apartment. On rare occasions, we move people to another apartment. We give our guests the option of having our own staff move their items, and we make it as convenient as possible.

One year ago today, Pigtail was conceived.
I hate to bring it up because, well, it makes you picture the Hollywood Housewife having sex. And that's awkward. But I do bring it up because I think it's important to acknowledge.
Most people aren't sure when they conceived. It was an *oopsie*, or a happy surprise, or an Oh Sh*t. But when you've weathered months of cycle charts and morning temperatures and only one line on the plastic stick, then you remember the day you conceive, because it is so unlike the days you didn't conceive.
The Gorilla and I wanted to have a family right away. First we were going to wait a full year into our marriage to start trying for a baby, then we backed it up until the summer after our wedding. The timeline kept inching backwards and finally we went for it in the Spring of 2008, just six months after our vows.
We were so naive, it seems now. I simply stopped taking my birth control and thought we would enjoy a very, um, fun summer and hopefully have a little surprise by the end. I specifically didn't want to count days or force the tango.
I didn't think I had anything to worry about. My mom, my sister, my sister-in-law, and most of my girlfriends all got pregnant right away and without any trouble. I only had one or two friends who had struggled with fertility, or at least that talked about it.
That summer, while very fun, came and went. In August, I decided we needed to get more serious about the goal. I read a little, google-searched a little, tentatively asked a few friends. I was embarrassed to realize that we were sorely uneducated about the process. I mean, we knew the process, so to speak, but I was unaware of all that was going on with my body - with any woman's body - during a monthly cycle.
So we figured it out. We discovered how narrow the ovulation window is, and that my ovulation occurs much later than most. We bought ovulation sticks, and a basal thermometer and set to work, trying not to make it feel like a chore.
More months passed, more tears. When we had been trying for close to a year, I was referred to a fertility specialist. I made an appointment for mid-February, and we continued to do what we were doing.
February 1st was Super Bowl Sunday and we had houseguests. We almost skipped that day for the next day, which was better timing for us. But then at the last second, we didn't skip. And on Valentine's Day there were more tears. This time of disbelief and happiness.
Our story has a happy ending. I know that many stories involve years and years of sadness, enduring treatments, praying for a dose of nausea that says pregnancy is kicking in. I am not putting us in the same category with those couples.
I am only saying that when you've been waiting, you know the day you conceive your child.
And it's not awkward to celebrate that life. It's wonderful.

May 5, 2009
Senior track and field/cross country student-athlete Ashley Rittenbacher took some time off from studying for finals and training to talk with NIUHuskies.com. Rittenbacher and the Huskies take to the track for their first home meet in 27 years, Saturday, May 9, at the new NIU Track & Field and Soccer Complex.
What is your biggest accomplishment as an athlete?Being in top-five in cross country for four years.What is your biggest accomplishment off the field? Getting into the nursing program and doing well in it. It's a really hard program to get into and not a lot of people get in. What is something you have yet to accomplish?I want to finish running track for my fourth year, hopefully do well in the steeplechase. I'd like to keep getting good grades and hopefully get my GPA up even more.What is your favorite food?Ice cream, vanilla and mint. I like Chinese food a lot. I like everything as long as it's not red or has vegetables. What do you want to be doing in 10 years?I hope to be a nurse, working in a hospital - hopefully on a psychiatric unit. Hopefully I'll have a family by then. Maybe I'll have dogs.What is your most annoying habit?Procrastinating, definitely. I procrastinate on everything, every possible thing I could ever procrastinate on I do. What's your biggest fear?I'm afraid of heights pretty bad. I get really freaked out at Starved Rock and that's not even that high. The Sears Tower, that was pretty scary. If you could invite three people for dinner, who would they be? God, my Grandpa because he died before I was born, Steve PrefontaineWhat did you want to do growing up?I wanted to be a marine biologist because I like dolphins and I wanted to stay by the ocean. I won the career poster contest. What is there to do in your hometown of New Lenox, Ill.?My hometown isn't very exciting. We moved there when I was in fourth grade. There was nothing there, no stores or anything. Now it is more built up. We were the first house in our neighborhood. It was scary.Do you have any superstitions? If I can bend over and touch my toes I always know I'm going to do good because I can't do it normally. I can't even get down to my shin. Where do you hang out on campus? I guess the nursing building? I don't really like it that much, but that's where I am most of the time.Favorite artist on your iPod? Kenny Chesney. If you stop at a gas station on a road trip, what do buy?I always get the chocolate covered pretzels and a Slurpee.What is your favorite holiday? Christmas, you get a break from school and it's just a time to relax and be with your family and hang out. What is the best advice you've received from a coach? My coach from high school was very helpful. He used to always tell me to run as fast as you can and then run faster. He always said you're going to be hurting anyway, so why not run faster and feel good about it. If you could have one superhero power what would it be? I would want to fly. Then you wouldn't have to sit in traffic. It's easier to get around. More convenient, cheaper - you wouldn't have to pay for gas. What was your First and worst job? I always babysat when I was little. My first real job was lifeguarding. My worst job was I worked at Steamboat for two days. It's a hotdog place by my house. They told me I had to just wipe off the tables and she made me fold the toilet paper into triangles every time somebody used it. It was ridiculous. I only made it two days. I love hot dogs now though. Who is your non-sport hero? My parents, they have worked hard their whole lives. They just really worked hard to get where they are now. They always set a good example, were very encouraging and motivating.

Equilibria involving carbon dioxide in aqueous solution
Demonstration and Class practical
Soda water is placed in a syringe and the plunger pulled out to reduce the pressure above it. Bubbles of carbon dioxide are seen forming ('out-gassing') as its solubility decreases. Methyl red indicator added to the soda water turns from red to yellow, showing that the solution has become less acidic as the equilibria in solution adjust.
Lesson organisation
This short experiment can be carried out as a demonstration or as a class practical, with students working in pairs. They should be familiar with the phenomenon of out-gassing when carbonated drinks are opened.
Students may not be familiar with methyl red indicator. If so, demonstrate its colours in acidic and alkaline solutions beforehand. It is red below pH 4.2 and yellow above pH 6.3.
Time needed is 5 – 10 min.
Soda water or carbonated mineral water,
a few cm3
Methyl red indicator solution, a few drops
Refer to Health & Safety and Technical notes section below for additional information.
Eye protection
For one demonstration or each pair of students:
Plastic syringe (50 cm3), (modified as in Note 1)
Syringe cap (optional)
Nail (5 cm)
Beaker (100 cm3)
Health & Safety and Technical notes
Read our standard health & safety guidance
Soda water or carbonated mineral water - A fresh, unopened bottle is best. Flavoured fizzy drinks, such as lemonade or cola, are not suitable here because they contain added acids, such as citric acid.
Methyl red indicator solution - see CLEAPSS Hazcard and CLEAPSS Recipe Book.
1 A smaller syringe will do but the changes are less easily visible. Modify the syringe as follows: pull out the plunger so that the volume of air in the syringe is 50 cm3 (see diagram). Warm the nail in a Bunsen flame and push it through the stem of the plunger as shown in the diagram. When the nail is in place, the plunger can be 'locked' at the 50 cm3 mark.
a Pour 10 – 20 cm3 of soda water into the beaker and add a few drops of methyl red indicator to give a red solution.
b Remove the nail from the syringe and insert the plunger completely. Draw about 5 cm3 of the soda water and indicator solution into the syringe. Place a syringe cap over the end of the syringe (or use a finger), pull the plunger out to the 50 cm3 mark and lock it with the nail. Bubbles of carbon dioxide will be seen out-gassing from the water and the indicator will begin to turn orange. Shake the syringe to speed up the out-gassing.
c Hold the syringe vertically with the nozzle pointing upwards, remove the syringe cap and the nail, and push in the plunger to expel the gas but not the solution. Seal the syringe again and repeat the out-gassing cycle in b. More bubbles will be seen and the indicator will turn further towards a yellow colour. Several more such cycles can be repeated until the indicator becomes completely yellow.
Teaching notes
A white background helps. Place the syringe next to the original red solution to emphasise the colour change.
An additional demonstration that shows the effect of temperature on the solubility of a gas, and the associated indicator colour changes, involves boiling some soda water containing a little methyl red indicator in a boiling tube. This will expel the carbon dioxide, which is less soluble at high temperatures, and shows the colour change of the indicator from red to yellow.
Soda water contains carbon dioxide that has been dissolved in it under pressure. The equilibria involved in this experiment are:
1 CO2(g) ⇌ CO2(aq)
2 CO2(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ H2CO3(aq) (carbonic acid)
3 H2CO3(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + HCO3–(aq) (hydrogencarbonate ions)
4 HCO3–(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + CO32–(aq) (carbonate ions)
(For simplicity, teachers may prefer not to discuss this last equilibrium).
The solution of carbon dioxide is thus acidic because of the increase in concentration of H+(aq) ions resulting from these reactions. Reducing the pressure causes CO2 to come out of solution, ie equilibrium (1) moves to the left. The result is that the other three equilibria also move to the left, removing H+(aq) ions from the solution and making the solution less acidic.

I was once told that you can judge a manager by how little or how much things change when they are gone on vacation. The smaller the change the better I was told. I thought that if everything went smoothly wouldn't they just fire the manager then? That's when I realized a good manager makes sure everything gets done by making sure the next in command is capable of doing everything he does so when he leaves there is no break in the productivity of the employees. As a Raid Leader eventually you will need a break, maybe just a week once and a while or perhaps a summer off. It's hard to let go of your baby, but if you have done your work and you have other officers/Raid Leaders that agree with the way you do things then there shouldn't be much of a break in raiding. How do you get those other raid leaders trained up?
A friend of mine told me, "Stick your foot in a bucket of water and then remove it, the hole you leave is how much you will be missed." He was talking about being a grunt in a call center, but this is kind of the point. How do you make it so you will be missed, but the raid goes off without a hitch? Well that's simple. If you made your raid unique either by the way you run things or how you do things no one will copy it exactly, so people will always "miss" you for those little things, but they can keep the pace, mood, setting, of your raid going.
Training Up More Leaders
If your raid is growing chances are someone else is already helping lead another group or two. Great, you are way ahead of the curve, if not, time to train up more leaders.
- On bosses you've already downed either designate or ask if someone wants to explain and run the boss fight.
- Afterwards give feedback such as pace, style, mood, etc that they could improve on.
- Never laugh at someone new to raid leading, it's quite different from being a raider.
- On places you have on farm either designate or ask if someone would like to lead the entire raid night.
- Do not force someone to do this, as any failing to down a boss would immediately discourage them.
- Make sure to stick up for them, do not let other long time raiders badger them.
- Make sure this person is on your page and agrees with the way you do things.
- If they want their own raid and want to lead it a totally different way then they may turn off raiders who are used to you.
- If the culture is the same and people generally do the same stuff it keeps the raid looser and keeps people from taking a vacation with you from the raid.
- Make sure someone is watching the raid while you are gone.
- If there is another raid make sure they keep tabs on what is happening to make sure everything is running smoothly.
- Maybe a good friend or a long time raider that doesn't lead can report back to the GO or other officers if someone is completely changing the raid for the worse.
- Make sure your raiders know you are taking a vacation and to take it easy on the new RL.
- Pace will probably be different so they should know it and deal with it.
- Have them let you know how things went when you get back.
When you get back make sure to get with your core raiders and ask the officers how things went. Address anything that came up during the time you were gone as soon as you can when you get back. Make sure you ask the Raid leaders about how things went as well and compare the notes. Maybe the raid leaders thought things went bad, but the raiders thought everything went good. Maybe the raiders thought it stunk on ice, but the raid leader thought he did a really awesome job. Either way you are going to need to let the raid leader know how it went over with the raid. Don't lecture them on anything, just let them know it went well or didn't and thank them for their time and effort, they didn't have to raid lead while you were gone.
The Learning ExperienceThe good thing about letting other people lead once and awhile is the feedback you can get about your own raid leading style.
- Were there things done that raiders liked that you could put in as well?
- More or less breaks? Did people react well to them?
- Different way of doing certain bosses?
- More or less talking?
- More or less feedback from raiders during encounters?
The Final Farewell
If you are leaving WoW for good, make sure everyone knows who the new head of the raid will be. Don't leave it up to 3 Raid Leaders to hash it out, one should be considered the main raid leader and the others just raid leaders. Usually rank takes care of that, or the senior officers discretion can be part of it too. Just remember even when you leave and don't care about WoW you should take care of your raiders on that last day so if you ever come back no bridges have been burned.

Sisterly Love: 'I Knew That We Had Each Other'
Ten days after a court verdict found a man guilty of sexual assault, two of his victims — his 14- and 15-year-old nieces — stepped into a StoryCorps booth.
"He was a police officer," the older sister said. "This big SWAT man with all the badges and the uniforms, and he couldn't keep his hands to himself. He sexually assaulted me when no one was around. I felt like I was on pause my whole childhood. A prisoner — dead. And I didn't say a word to anybody for seven years."

The GAC E-JET can be listed as one of the most underrated concept cars on display at the recent 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, and that's a pity considering the remarkable technical contents of this model, who has been describes by some as an obvious crossbred between a Mercedes CLA and a Volvo (though we can detect some Mazda influence as well in the front section). The E-JET has been developed on a hybrid EREV platform with a four-cylinder combustion engine and an electric motor: the gasoline unit has displacement of 1 liter and delivers 60 hp with 82 Nm of torque, which is enough to feed the 40 hp generator which, in turn, recharges the lithium-ion battery pack (with capacity of 13 kWh).
The electric motor instead produces 227 hp with 127 Nm of maximum torque and has a maximum range of about 100 kilometers (62 miles), while the overall range of the model is rated at about 600 kilometers (372 mph). The GAC E-Jet accelerates from 0 to 50 km/h (31 mph) in less than 4.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 km/h (roughly 100 mph), with an average fuel consumption of just 1.9 liters per 100 kilometers.
The GAC E-JET weighs in at 1,550 kilograms and measures 4.57 meters in length, 1.79 meters in width and 1.49 meters in height, with a wheelbase of 2.62 meters. GAC did not reveal any information in regard to the production of the model, which would appear as the next legitimate step for this model after the launch of this prototype. By the way, GAC Motors was the only Chinese brand to show up at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.

Love in Space Movie Reviews
User reviews on Love in Space
I decided to see this film because I was curious to see a Chinese romantic comedy, how that would look like. Well, I can tell you that it does not look good, it was very mediocre, the dialogue was stiff and the characters were not developed(I guess Chinese are not better at everything). The relationships between characters are not believable or interesting and the situations that the characters get into are laughable but not in a good way. Overall, this film is not worth seeing in the theaters.
This is a comedy about three women who are successful in everything except love, the film is directed by Tony Chan, Wing Shya and stars Aaron Kwok, Rene Liu and Fan Xu. This is a film that was made in China and it was weird for me to watch a film that is trying to be Hollywood and American and knowing that it was made in a communist country. I went to see this film because I was very curious, however there were no surprises, the film was full of romantic comedy cliches and it was as bad as any bad American romantic comedy. The film is actually pretty breezy and i would not mind watching it at home, but it is definitely not worth seeing in the theaters.

Hermès to Buy Asprey?
Hermes Spring/Summer 2010 - Vogue.com
Keeping on the Paris theme, last night I went to the most stunning vintage boutique near the Louvre that sells vintage/second hand Hermès, Chanel and Louis Vuitton - shoes, luggage, bags, accessories...
In a word stunning! Though I did become speechless when I was invited to handle one of the most expensive bags I have EVER encountered, the 45cm orange ostridge Birkin. Seeing the price at €1,700, I was quite impressed but looking again it was €17,000! Worth every last cent...
Today I read that Hermès have bought the Asprey store on New Bond Street, London for £75 Million last week but is keeping shtum on whether or not it will buy the entire company. I remember Asprey when it was Asprey and Garrard and the store was not as impressive as it is now with its central atrium and house-like interior.
The company is not doing as well as Hermès with reported sales drop of £17 Million to £13 Million as of last year whilst JPG is pushing sales up 7% over the last six months to €874.9 Million.
Who said the economy was in resession? Why, if we all bought Birkins, the world would be a richer place!
J'adore Paris
Oh what a beautiful city Paris is! I have not been here for...well, too long and I had forgotten how stunning it is. I took this quick photo last night of the Arc de Triumph during a late night walk with a colleague.
Paris Womenswear Fashion Week starts today but due to work will not be at any shows! I am here for another 9 days and have already been trapped in a store in the Marais with Bruce Willis and his wife Emma Hemming. He was trying on a Comme des Garçons navy blue, over sized trench in wool which looked amazing on him.
Today, the label I work for has it's first clients in two hours in the pop-up showroom to view the entire collection. My French is a bit rusty so thank god they are all English speakers!
Au Revoir!

Ash Stymest for SuperSuper
This image of Ash is incredible, he never ceases to bore me! Thanks to sUper hott stylist Kabir for giving me a sneaky peak at the shoot for SuperSuper magazine. The issue entitled 'Hooked' is looking at the fashion obsessions of his year in relation to cool, London talent and interest. Ash was shot wearing Alexander McQueen by Simon Harris.

Unconditional 'Mantyhose' - Yay or Nay?
My favorite label Unconditional has divided the nation and most of New York with their A/W09 collection featuring 'mantyhose' - tights for men, and a 'skirt'.
Is it a yay or nay for you?
I was lucky enough to be allowed to spend yesterday at the photo shoot for such items in East London with designer Philip Stevens and soon to be Head of Press Dan Hasby-Oliver. The model was Jacob Coupe at Models 1 who was genuinely nice and such fun!
I did take a shot to show you but was asked to wait off until the final photograph is edited and complete. However, I can tell you that the 'mantyhose' are more like long-johns but without the top half, and the 'skirt' is a really funky black pleated short kilt.
My verdict? Hott.
Like Father Like Son
Looking like your Dad can either be a blessing or a curse - I for one look like my mum so I can't comment - but for Louis and Claude Simonon it means a contract.
These two boys are sons of The Clash bassist, Paul Simonon, and have landed a contract for the new Prada Amber Homme campaign. Aimed solely at us guys, the pair are the perfect echo of masculinity and suit the visual aesthetic of the fashion house.
Launched in 2006, the signature fragrance has scents of myrrh, cardamom and musk which costs £33 for 50ml or £60 for the 100ml special rechargeable edition.

House of Holland S/S10
#LFW Eighties returned in the most playful and reminiscent way possible at House of Holland, with Henry taking influence from Julia Robert's stomping ways in Pretty Woman. Colorful and vivacious, the use lace - for boys and girls - denim, cashmere and jersey was emblazoned with his signature 'house' logo. My favorite pieces are the printed statement tee's and shirts with 'borrowed', 'blue' and 'new' printed on the chest. Silly, fun and reminiscent of the 80's and his first t-shirt collections, this is one of his best collections yet . Plus ins't the picture of Aggy and Henry just adorable?!

(Late) Summer Holiday
Karen Walker isn't just a rich, brazen and eccentric character from Will and Grace...she is a shoe designer. Obviously not the same one, this Walker's S/S10 collection features seaside themes such as nautical blues and whites with sunshine yellows, dots and classic stripes.
But whilst she focuses on the girls for her collection, us boys can focus on the shoes that debuated on the catwalk in collaberation with Pointer.
In keeping with the beach resort story, the shoes are made in bright colour styles that rework the classic leather boat shoe that has become increasingly de rigur with us London boys. her signature fabric lining. The shoes will be available at Karen Walker stockists and her flagship stores in March, 2010.
Front Row at Jonathan Saunders
#LFW What a line up! Anna Wintour, Natalia Vodianova & Donatella Versace at Christopher Kane.
Another picture.
EXCLUSIVE: Donatella and Anna
#LFW So aparrently Anna will be arriving the tail end of London Fashion Week for I'm guessing Burberry and Jonathan Saunders. Oh, dear...she even snubbed a reception with the lovely Mrs. Brown at Number 10 at the weekend - who I had the pleasure of meeting a few months back at London Pride.
Plus I can exclusively reveal that Donatella Versace will be doing an exclusive interview on CNN this week on the 9pm show! Known for giving very few interviews, she will be talking about London Fashion Week and the state of the fashion industry in a recession.
LVMH Vs. eBAY
Now we all know there is a bargain to be had on eBay, the online auction site but LVMH, owners of Louis Vuitton, do not see it that way.
LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA - to quote its full name - has won a court case in which eBAY is to pay €80,000 in compensation for using searches for Christian Dior, Kenzo, Givenchy and Guerlain perfumes without authorisation.
This is a further financial blow to the site who were ordered to pay LVMH €38 million (yes! Million!) for allowing fake LVMH merchandise however a USA court ruling in July this year said that eBay doesn't have the legal responsibility to stop or prevent the sale of fake goods.
Similarly, Hermes won a court case last year to ban the sale of fake good on eBAY, which has seen the fashion house taking a 65% fall on eBAY results. Tiffany and Co are also seeking a similar ruling but some how I don't think this case will be as successful due to the shear amount of fake Tiffany goods on the auction site.

Ash Stymest for System
Wow! London boy-of-the-moment Ash Stymest is going sUper international with this campaign for Korean label System.

Commonwealth Utilities S/S10 Runway
Commonwealth Utilities, who have become my new favorite label from the USA, kindly sent me their S/S10 runway images.
I have chosen some images that reflects the trends from the upcoming season - black, greys and metallics - and am also seeing shorts are once again on the trend list. The collection has a preppy influence and really is of the American aesthetic that has been seen in London over the past few months.
The feel I got from the video I posted here, is not what I imagined the collection to look like. However I can see the ideology of Central St. Martins graduate Anthony Keegan of making men look 'smart, sexy and a little bit fabulous'.
The collection is designed by Keegan along with business partner Richard Christiansen who presented the above collection at Astor Place Hair in New York on Monday.
Jimmy Choo for H&M
A few images have been floating around the internet, but most have been taken down! But I found one at The Fashionisto of this cotton tote with studs and leather bomber and scarf. Enjoy it whilst it lasts!
Baby, It's Cold Outside
PPRS Stunning black knit bomber cardigan with front fastening, leather toggles.
Farah Fairfax shawl collar purple cardigan with green and white fairisle print.
Missoni blue striped v neck knit.
It might just be me but it was freeeeeezing today! It got my to looking for a new winter wardrobe and My-Wardrobe has just got these in.
I like chunky knits for winter and love the cute innocence of the Farah cardigan and the versatility of the Missoni sweater.
Skinny black jeans and some boots will look pretty good I think for a return to work Thursday!

Commonwealth Utilities 'Men We Love' A/W09
Commonwealth Utilities is a new favourite import of mine since I posted about them a few weeks back. They have exclusively released their short film, Men We Love to, to me and some other press.
Its voyeuristic angle looks at the transition from normal, sleeping guys in to 'Commonwealth Utilities' supremos during a normal morning routine.
Directed by Nicolas Wagner it is a smooth yet basic piece of short-cinematography but I have to warn you, it does contain some nudity. As if that is a bad thing!

Fashion Food at Fashion Week
#LFW Despite not being at any shows this London Fashion Week - work commitments- I am determined to enjoy some of the fun.
So I was pleased to hear that a pop-up Armani Cafe will open at St. Martins Lane hotel, London, WC2 which will be open from 17-22 September.
Such a great spot for some fashion week fun!
I hear the menu will be simple, healthy and fresh to munch and free Wi-Fi to allow the fashion pack to do what they do best from 9am-6pm with no reservations required! And the added bonus, it is a hop, skip and a taxi ride from the action at Somerset House.

Just as we left for the tube, I spotted this girl in vintage Dior. I know, I know this is a mens blog but still...how can you not appreciate this look!
Me in the Fashion Night Out for Vogue t-shirt. A bargain at £10 - and 100% for charity!
So I am a lot better, off the sofa slightly more alive than the first half of this weekend. Fashion Night Out was amazing and wish it could happened every month but alas, thats up to Vogue to decide!
I hope you enjoy the shots and I hope to read your comments about what you got up to - let me know!
I am not keen on leaving negative thoughts on here but for once I must, and I surprise myself by criticising Gucci.
The charity t-shirts for sale were to raise money for Crisis UK, the homeless organization. ALL the stores, except for Gucci, were selling them for £10 regardless if you bought anything else. Oh, no...not Gucci - if you bought something you got it free.
Bad form and shame on you Gucci. I admire them for their UNICEF work, but this initiative was not thought out and not in the charitable spirit of the night.
Thank you for your email. I am so pleased you enjoyed Fashion's Night Out.
Gucci were great supporters of the charity Crisis, but due to restrictions with their till systems, they were not able to sell the T-shirt, but rather made a donation to Crisis for the full amount purchased, and were therefore at liberty to give them as a gift with purchase. They were one of the only stores to do this. I am sorry to hear that they did not explain this to you, as their support for this worth cause was in fact quite generous.
There were over 200 brands selling the Vogue T-shirt outright. It sounds like you did find some at Max Mara. Thank you for your kind support of Crisis and enthusiasm for the event.

FASH OFF! - Art Against Knives
We have all been a victim or witness of crime in one way or another though few have been drawn into the tragedy of knife crime.
On 28th August last year, Oliver Hemsley - a 20 year old fashion student from St. Martin's College was a victim of an unprovoked and frenzied knife attack in Shoreditch, East London.
Whilst he survived this insane attack, he is paralysed from the neck down. Oliver will never walk again, needs constant medical attention and all for nothing.
At the close of London Fashion Week this season, FASH OFF! presents Art Against Knives once more. In collaboration with Stimuli magazine, the event will take place on Wednesday 23rd September at the Queen of Hoxton, London, EC2A 3JX with support from Vivienne Westwood, Christopher Kane, and Giles Deacon amongst a host of other well known names and faces.
I hope some of you will be able to attend the event, and for those who can't; just support the cause.
I have been unfortunate to witness both a stab victim and a shooting when I lived in Naples for 3 months. Just as a passer by, a simple witness, those images have stayed with me and will stay tattooed on my mind forever. And I wish it on no one.

Princes Of Wales (and London)
If there is one photo shoot this season that defines London as a style capital and leader, it is this one.
Styled by Kim Howels and photographed by Thomas Lor, the clothes featured include my favourites Kokon to Zai, J.W Anderson and McQueen.
Entitled 'Princes of Wales' and shot for Contributing Editor , the story uses the simple yet powerful backdrop of the Welsh coastline to accentuate the complex detailing and design of the fashion-forward clothes. Uber-hip, East London-based hair stylist Charlie Le Mindu provides the weaves whilst up-and-coming Select models Alex Dunstan, Callum Wilson and Jake Cooper provide the looks.
Kim Howels is one of London's premier stylists, directing shoots for style bibles Dazed and Confused and VMan as well as consulting for London designers Fred Butler and Noki.
One word; Amazing!

Want to play footsie with Burberry?
No...not that sort of footsie...we are talking business, dahling...!
News reports today announce that Burberry is joining the FTSE (pronounced footsie) 100 index of leading shares. Whist it is not the first time the label was listed on the London Stock Exchange, but is reaffirming its position as Thompson Reuters - the parent company of news agency Reuters - vacated its position.
Burberrys acceleration is the biggest market capatalisation on the reserve list of any label - largest financial gain by joining the 100 list - as of last Friday.
It looks like Burberry are doing really well with shares closing today (Tuesday) at 508.50 points - or £50.85p - up 2.5% on the announcement of its floating - or listing - yesterday. Whilst the years high of 524.54 points - or £52.45 - is a little of close of todays markets, it still values the group at just under £2.2 billion.
Damn! Look at the low price at the end of November last year! If I had invested in Burberry rather than Prada SpA and Gucci Group (I recently sold them at a loss) I would be a highly fashionable, happy boy!

I hunted heaven
for him.
. . .
I hunted heaven
for him.
. . .
Who would true Valour see
Let him come hither;
One here will Constant be, . . .
An uphill path, sun-gleams between the showers,
Where every beam that broke the leaden sky . . .
Pity the beautiful,
the dolls, and the dishes,
the babes with big daddies . . .
I like to find
what's not found
at once, but lies . . .
I lived in the first century of world wars.
Most mornings I would be more or less insane,
The newspapers would arrive with their careless stories, . . .
Passing the American graveyard, for my birthday
the crosses stuttering, white on tropical green,
the years' quick focus of faces I do not remember . . . . . .
Out of the deep and the dark,
A sparkling mystery, a shape,
Something perfect, . . .
You've heard me, scornful, harsh, and discontented,
Mocking and loathing War: you've asked me why
Of my old, silly sweetness I've repented— . . .
The Poets light but Lamps —
Themselves — go out —
The Wicks they stimulate . . .

By Breanna Tumelty
On August 16-21, I gathered with members of the Cabrinian community in Spain for World Youth Day (WYD), an event launched by Blessed John Paul II in 1985 that occurs every two to three years in various cities throughout the world.
On this WYD, 1.5 million young people traveled to Madrid for the purpose of rooting their lives more deeply in Christ and building futures based on His call. Despite the fact that I do not like crowds, it was transformational to be in the midst of so many people speaking so many languages, yet united in one faith.
My WYD experience began with Mass on Tuesday evening, celebrated by the Archbishop of Madrid, who called the youth "heroes of this millennium."
The special opening liturgy was dedicated to Blessed John Paul II, whose relic was brought from Krakow and venerated at the end of the Mass. On Wednesday through Friday morning, our Cabrini group split up by language and attended catechesis sessions with bishops from around the world.
The English sessions included keynote talks by Curtis Martin, founder of FOCUS Ministries, and Jason and Crystalina Evert, international chastity speakers among a number of others. We also had opportunities to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Mass each day.
On Wednesday evening, our group joined EWTN's Father Mark and Doug Barry for a live television broadcast of the popular show, "Life on the Rock." We also attended Catholic Underground, hosted by the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, for an unforgettable Holy Hour and time of worship. The highlight was the final catechesis session with Archbishop Timothy Dolan, who spoke engagingly about mission and evangelization.
The most memorable part of WYD was witnessing on Friday evening the Via Crucis (the Way of the Cross), a time of solemn remembrance of the sacrifice of Christ. Crowds gathered in great anticipation to catch a glimpse of the Holy Father.
The focus was on the suffering that young people endure around the world, which parallels the suffering of Jesus on the cross. Fifteen elaborate stations lined the main street plaza, featuring life-size wooden sculptures placed in canopies with red and white brackets—the colors of WYD—and included a text from the Gospel.
The sculptures we observed are masterpieces of Spanish religious art, some of which date back centuries. Each station contained a meditation on people who suffer for various reasons (racial discrimination, religious persecution, those struggling with drug or alcohol addictions, the unemployed, as well as people with disabilities and serious health issues).
The suffering of Christ was portrayed in a profoundly unique way as it incorporated the trials and experiences of the universal Church.
Victims of drug addiction, natural disasters, sexual abuse, and marginalization were invited to unite their suffering with Christ's by carrying a wooden cross to each station. The Way of the Cross was a relay of suffering, in which the baton of burden was passed on in solidarity from one group of victims to the next after a prayer was read at each station.
All of the cross-carriers were united in both their suffering and hope at the prospect of ultimate salvation and joy. In his reflection following the final station, Pope Benedict XVI addressed the crowds with a remark that touched me profoundly:
"You are open to the idea of sharing your lives with others, so be sure not to pass by on the other side of the road in the face of human suffering, for it is here that God expects you to give of your very best: your capacity for love and compassion."
It was a great honor and blessing to be in the presence of Our Holy Father, especially when he first arrived to electrifying shouts of "We are the youth of the Pope!" and "Viva el Papa!" The highpoint of WYD occurred Saturday night at Cuatro Vientos airbase when Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the youth of the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which deepened my identity as a Catholic.
That evening, during a surprising downpour that made us feel our human weakness in the face of nature, Pope Benedict XVI spoke words I will never forget: "Thank you for your joy and resistance. Your strength is stronger than the rain."
One powerful aspect of WYD that I continue to reflect on is the Hearts on Fire presentation, given by a team of young Jesuits. I discovered that my personal search for truth, through religion and philosophy, dovetails with the Jesuit intellectual tradition, which emphasizes a spirit of open inquiry and places high value on the integration of faith and reason.
I was impressed with how the presentation combined, in such a short time, practical ways of connecting prayer and daily life with key insights from the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola.
The Jesuit seminarians shared the importance of making a morning offering, living the Eucharist throughout the day, and ending the day with a review.
They also offered guidance on discernment and recommended ways to respond to experiences of spiritual consolation and desolation. Everyone brought home at least one souvenir; for me, it was the Daily Examen, a simple and meaningful prayer of awareness that Ignatius taught in his Spiritual Exercises.
I left Madrid with a much deeper understanding of the meaning of pilgrimage. Experiencing Catholicism on a universal level has shown me that I am part of something larger than myself.
World Youth Day 2011 was a great success for Spain and a beautiful example that the Catholic Church is not just alive, but thriving with energy, passion, and love.

When your major life expenses—mortgage, college, building a nest egg—are behind you, you can think about letting your life insurance lapse. If something happened to your spouse, would you be OK without a payout? Think about it this way: Could you invest your capital at a guaranteed rate of return, add that amount to any future income and have enough to live on? If so, you can stop paying for the policy. If it's not quite enough, think about buying less coverage.
Go greener
Head to the Web site of your power company and see if it offers an energy audit. This is a process in which a representative goes through your home to show you where you're losing energy and how to fix it; they also check out the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems and suggest ways you can conserve hot water or electricity. If you don't go for the bigger fixes (like new windows), the less expensive ones (like caulking your old ones) typically enable you to make up the cost of the audit in a month or so.
Or you can do it yourself using the tips at energystar.gov. The site offers a home energy yardstick, which will help you figure out the degree to which you're overspending. In some areas, you can also save by agreeing to a restricted use of power during times of high energy usage. (These load management programs vary by company, but many give you a discount for a limited number of months, say, June to September.) The power company will install a programmable thermostat, then, if there's a crisis, it may turn off your air conditioner from a remote location for a few hours. Savings: from $60 to $200 a year.
Play hardball with your communications provider
You probably already know that you can save by purchasing phone, Internet and cable from a single vendor. You can also save by threatening to take all of that business to another company. I employed this strategy when Verizon came to my town—and knocked $60 a month off my Cable-vision bills for the next six months. Also, look around the house for communication redundancies. Do you need DVRs on every set? Also, how often do you use that landline? Nearly 20 percent of American homeowners have already dropped theirs.
Reevaluate your automatic debits
Ordinarily I'm a big fan of putting bills on autopilot. But sometimes when we have money zapped out of our accounts automatically, we forget how much we're spending. So it's time to take another look at the health club, Netflix and the credit monitoring service. You can put a fraud alert on your card for no fee simply by calling one of the three major credit bureaus and asking. (They'll share the information.)
Finally, stay focused
One problem with cutting expenses is that people devote time to the challenge for a month or so, then stop. It's important to consider this a work in progress. One way to keep your outlook positive is to track how much you're saving. The $100 you knocked off your insurance bills, plus the $65 that you've trimmed from the heating bills, plus the $115 a month that you're no longer paying in interest to your creditors? That's $1,545 a year—real money.
So what do you get when you've slashed this and cut that? Allow me to answer that question with a story. My pal Fran Rubel Kuzui, who in her former life helped create Buffy the Vampire Slayer and now runs a yoga studio in Japan, was seated on a recent flight next to an executive from a luxury accessories label. He was wringing his hands over the fact that the $1,000 handbag is no longer the "it" item. "I don't think there is an 'it' item anymore," he lamented. "Oh, but you're wrong," Fran said. "It's called peace of mind."

TAMPA, Fla. – Masahiro Tanaka knew that there would be a significant transition as he shifted from playing professional baseball in Japan to joining the New York Yankees. He will have to adjust to facing better hitters and throwing with a bigger ball.
On Saturday, he showed that he will also have to grow accustomed to jogging.
"Probably what I'll remember is the four laps at the end," said Tanaka after his first official workout as a member of the Yankees. "It was pretty hard."
Tanaka, the 25-year-old Japanese import who signed a seven-year, $155 million contract last month, looked sharp as he threw a morning bullpen session to Francisco Cervelli, and completed fielding practice while media members and coaches looked on.
But the running was a problem that he brought up multiple times when talking to reporters after his workout.
"Actually, no, I didn't feel that way," Tanaka said when asked if it was more difficult to practice with all eyes on him. "But just the running part today. I said it earlier, but that one was really hard for me today."
Tanaka was not the only pitcher who had trouble with Saturday's run. C.C. Sabathia, who has dropped nearly forty pounds since last season, bowed out well before the end.
Following Saturday's workout, fellow Japanese pitcher Hiroki Kuroda seemed quite impressed with the team's new star.
"He's bound to become a staff ace for the Yankees," Kuroda said of Tanaka. "He's on his way."

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, all such work was stopped, and the spacecraft never left the shop.In NASA agreed to provide funds to complete the Spektr and Priroda modules for Mir using US funds, with 600 to 700 kg of US experiments installed in place of the military experiments.
Originally the modules attached to the Mir base block were to be of the NPO Energia 37KS design. Design and fabrication reached an advanced phase when it was decided that the separate tug concept resulted in too low a net scientific payload (3 metric tons). Integrating the tug with the module was expected to increase this to 5 metric tons and provide some reserve engine capability at Mir and additional pressurized volume. Accordingly the 37KS modules for Mir were cancelled in 1983. Competitive designs for integrated space station modules were submitted by KB Salyut and NPO Energia. The KB Salyut 77K modules were derived from the cancelled TKS manned ferry. The competing proposal from NPO Energia combined the 37KS module with the engine unit of Mir. In June 1984 the KB Salyut design was selected. The revised Mir program plan was to assemble the station over a three year period, and operate it for ten years (versus the original one year/five years).
Spektr was to have been a dedicated military research unit, to test sensors and systems for the Soviet Fon counterpart to the American Star Wars program. KB Salyut had designed a spacecraft bus for space based weapons based on the TKS space tug. This was an alternate / competitive design to the NPO Energia USB.
By September 1991 it was planned to launch the spacecraft one year later, conduct one month of autonomous tests, and then dock with Mir. But after the collapse of the Soviet Union, all Fon 'Star Wars' work was stopped, and the spacecraft never left the shop.
In July 1993, as part of joint US-Russian activities leading up to the International Space Station, NASA agreed to provide funds to complete the Spektr and Priroda modules for Mir using US funds, providing 600 to 700 kg of US experiments would be installed. In place of the Oktava complex an unpressurised cylinder with mounting area for two additional solar panels was installed. The airlock that would have been used for the Oktava targets instead would be used to expose scientific experiments to the vacuum of space using a small manipulator arm. The configuration was approved in November 19983 with launch planned for one year later. Delays were encountered in getting NASA's equipment through Russian customs, and the launch did not finally take place until 20 May 1995.
The original Spektr design was to be armed with Oktava interceptor rockets built by NPO Kometa. A prototype of the Spektr would be docked with the Mir space station for systems tests. By 1989 the military Oktava complex aboard Spektr consisted of the following systems, which would be operated by the crew from a command post at the forward end of the module:
The revised Spektr module, the fifth Mir component to attain orbit, was primarily designed for Earth observation (specifically natural resources and atmospheric studies). The module also carried US/Russian equipment for material science, biotechnology, life sciences, and space technology studies. A small airlock and manipulator arm were available to attach small external experiments and deploy small satellites. The module's total pressurized volume was 62 cubic meters. The module originally docked with the station on June 1, 1995, and was moved to its permanent location at a Mir transfer compartment radial port on June 2, 1995.
Two 3.9 kN main engines and 400N attitude control thrusters (N2O4/UDMH) were used for initial approach and docking. Two 27 sq. meter solar arrays (6.9 kW), and two 38 sq. meter solar arrays (9.3 kW) were attached to the module. Energy storage was available via a 360 A-hr NiCd battery system.
Instruments delivered or operated on Spektr included:
AKA: Oleg; TKM-O; 11F77O.
Gross mass: 19,640 kg (43,290 lb).
First Launch: 1995.05.20.
Number: 1 .

Crafted from aluminum, neon-colored foam, paint, and plastic materials such as bubble wrap, plastic cups, and other discarded detritus, Ben Godward's work has always careened impulsively toward excess and chaos. More restrained than previous work, Voitenko vs. Berkeley (
Evoking Lynda Benglis's pigmented polyurethane foam pieces from the late 1960s and 70s and Carolanna Parlato's 2010 poured paintings, Godward drips, pours and splashes skeins of brightly colored foam and paint, embedding objects in the ooze, like dinosaurs trapped in a rainbow-colored tar pit. Made specifically for the small, sun-filled front room at Norte Maar, the five-foot cube feels hemmed in; we can't keep a polite distance, we have to get close and take a look at what's inside this thing.
The action is sandwiched between two big sheets of safety glass like a microscope slide, which, combined with the square bounding frame, cleverly creates the impression that Voitenko vs. Berkeley (a prize fight? a court case? I don't know) is the big, thick, three-dimensional excavation of a vigorous abstract painting.
Here are some detail shots:
In the side rooms, Godward extends his muscular brand of woozy lyricisim in several smaller pieces, including digital prints of objects caught in motion on a flatbed scanner (published by Fortress to Solitude), nail polish paintings on losing lottery tickets and a can of Mountain Dew.

Macroburst hits North Phoenix neighborhoods
PHOENIX - Parts of the Valley were hit hard by monsoon storms over the weekend.
The National Weather Service has confirmed that a "Macroburst" hit north-central Phoenix.
Damage from a macroburst is more widespread than a microburst.
A macroburst can leave behind an area of damage at least 2 ½ miles wide. Macrobursts can produce strong, damaging wind gusts for a period of at least 5 minutes but up to 20 minutes.
In contrast, a microburst affects a smaller area, with the extent of damage less than 2 and a half miles wide. The strongest winds from a microburst last less than 5 minutes.
Macrobursts can produce destructive winds up to the strength of an EF 3 tornado.
The strongest wind gusts we saw Saturday night were near 70 mph around Desert Ridge Marketplace.
These winds would be comparable to an EF-0 tornado.

An Expose on Hollywood Occult Practice and their Monarch Controlled Celebrities.
Sunday, August 23, 2009
Here we delve into the next generation of bruised butterflies and traumatized children - who are the future. We glimpse briefly at pedophelia as the primary basis for trauma-based mind control. Since this is a generational situation, the hollywood babes in toyland are growing up - and being programmed. Clips are added from popular films - that now have a completely different meaning. It's time to put the movie tickets down and pay attention to what is TRULY taking place in plain sight. Can you stomach Project Monarch/Disney programming? Some don't have the option.
More Programmed Programming the Programmable
Beyonce "Upgrades You"
Pay close attention to Mrs. Carter in this video. She begins with jewel programming (jewel in mouth) and takes off running with her "shit talking" - mirroring her husband Jay-Z's words. She prances around with a diamond choker with a padlock (padlocks are common for slaves (see Taylor Swift's grammy performance)and spinning a diamond in her mouth. Not to mention the golden "UPGRADE" charm dangling from her teeth. Beyonce has all of the upgrades available for her Presidential Model status...but why not influence the other's to get an upgrade...instead of being tossed in rehab?
Lily Allen - The Fear
I cannot BEGIN to explain all of the themes featured in this video. The lyrics, such as " that's how I'm programmed to function", "I'll take my clothes off, it will be shameless" and "I'm packing plastic" tells us we have another little MK dolly to play with...or at least buy her music from her owners.
Some MC (Mind Control)
Mariah Carey has been someone that before my Godsmack, I considered "fake". Apparently I wasn't too far off. Mariah Carey was married to Tommy Matolla (CEO of SONY) before she became a household name, debuting on VH1 with Vision of love in 1990's album, Daydream.
Her music saturated the air constantly - rainbows, butterflies, honey - all kinds of nonsense that I couldn't stand hearing. Years later, I understand why she seemed to be so "fake". She would be yet another multiple personality disordered starlet under all KINDS of programming. She has had "breakdowns", "meltdowns" smash hits, dated fellow MK'd Eminem/Slim Shady/ Marshall Mathers (MM) and is now married to...you guessed it. Another MK product and handler in training, Nick Cannon.
Here are some interesting shots & videos worth looking at. If you are familiar with these themes used in these videos, you should be ready to vomit after seeing this PUBLICLY RELEASED highly publicized " music videos" and images. Hold off for lunch if you can.
High Profile Tabloid MK'd MonsterPerez Hilton was kind enough to share with us his knowledge of Mariah
Mariah Carrey's (MC/Mind Control)Altars are Obsessed With her Shell Persona
Mariah Carey Bye Bye
This is an interesting song/video where MC dramatizes about those who have gone. Sisters, brothers cousins...dead? Interesting butterfly ring that she ALWAYS has on...and a quick clip of Fort Meyers (most likely a programming facility) and Key West - same. Just watch

Almost all of mariah's album names are obvious...'Emotions' from 92 ...the title songs lyrics include"I don;t know if it's real, but I like the way i feel inside"Music Box"...The first track is 'Dreamlover" hence the DREAM part...Moving on we have "Daydreem" which title track is "Fantasy"...again refering to dwelling inside ones mind. Next we have "Butterfly" which is way too obvious to elaborate on. Then 'Rainbow" which represents the splitting and color coding of personalities/commands. "Charmbracelet" may not seem an obvious name but the cover art is a pic of her face revieling only one eye. "Glitter" came next and coincidentaly, or not the movie was released on 9/11...soon after mariah had her infamouse "Breakdown". The cd has a song called "Twister" and is very interesting to listen to especially because a twister took dorthy in the wizard of Oz which is also used for programming...her last words are "i guess this is my way of saying goodbye". Maybe she learned about her programming and went into Omega code gree(self-destruct mode)...it only makes sense because she almost died from "mental exhaustion after it's release"...She was reprogrammed and came back with "The emancipation of MIMI"!!!! A new and improved mariah. E=MC2 features a cover of one eyed Mariah and the cd is filled with songs like O.O.C. and others that imply actions that are not the norm behavior for her, given her current situation...Recently she has released "Memoirs of an Imperfect angel" the cover is three of her...pretty obvoius and the title refers back to her "remembering" that she has been programmed for what thye call a "perfect angel" is someone who perfectly forgets that they have been programmed and goes on with their lives without questioning. mariah's whole career she has been screaming from the top of her lungs, littereally and noone hears her!!! please listen to some of the songs from her albums and you will see what i mean.ReplyDeleteReplies

Whoa your elaborate comment made me really open my eyes and accept the fact that Mariah 's music is just as bad as the rest. Evil! I've gone from listening to her everyday (old stuff mostly) to nothing by her. It's sad cause I love her voice :( but God says we must turn away from evil.
