Cable Preparation and Plug Removal
The Silverstone Strider Essential is a non-modular power supply so there are two obvious ways to conquer the job. The first will keep our warranty intact and generally make things a bit easier. For this method the cables are sleeved from the plug to their exit point from the power box.
The second method and the one I will be using will void the warranty of your PSU. Please use caution as myself nor Tweak Town will not be responsible for your exploded power supply units or any injuries. If you are confident and proceed with this option of sleeving, remove your power supplies cover via the screws located on the fan side. Take care and remember that when your cover comes loose so will the interior fan, so be careful.
The Silverstone unit comes pre-sleeved with some TechFlex so I will start by removing this so I can replace it with single sleeved Paracord. Using my blade I carefully slice the heat shrink off either end making sure not to go too deep - do not go too deep as to cut the cables. I can then slide my scissors under the braid and cut it away from the cables.
With all the wiring now exposed, next the cable/zip ties need to be removed. Notice that these ties are very tight, there is no way scissors can be placed under the tie to cut them free. Don't stress there is a trick for removing these nasty ties. Using a solid surface as a base, position the cable/zip tie so it's in the same position as the one I've shown below.
Place your blade parallel to the wires across the locking mechanism and press down. The blade should cut halfway through releasing the cable tie without damaging any cables.
After the cables are freed up you may notice that some wires can be done one wire at a time when doing single sleeved as opposed to removing every wire at once. Other cables however will require numerous or all wires be removed at once making things a tad more complicated. The easiest way to manage multiple cables at once is to draw yourself a diagram of the plug layouts. Using your tape make a label for each cable marking its position on the diagram. Like this:
Once you are 100% sure that you can identify every cable and its starting position work can begin on removing the connector casings. If you are planning on sleeving more than just once in your life or if you are taking on a large project, I would highly recommend buying a power supply mod kit. Most mod kits come with instructions on how to use the contained tools so today I will show you how to remove the most common types of pins with DIY tools.
Round Male Pins (Molex Power)
To remove the round type male Molex pins use a ballpoint pen that can have the core removed; the de-cored pen needs to fit inside the pin housing whilst being able to "grab" the pin itself.
To remove the Molex pin simply insert the "tool" into the casing making sure the pen grasps the pin the complete way. Give the pen a slight twist and then with minimum force pull on the matching cable. With any luck the wire should unclip and pull free.
Female Fan Pins
For removing the female fan pins I will be using a safety pin, but any small pointy object will do. Like before work out your cable colors on a diagram, with that out of the way lay the connection down with the clips facing up.
Make sure the cables are pushed all the way into the housing which will free up the clip from any obstructions. Push down on the clip and gently pull on the corresponding wire freeing it from its plastic prison.
Power, PCI and female Molex Style pins
Probably the most accepted DIY tool for all of these connection types is believe it or not a humble staple. After raiding your stationary draw, bend the staple so that it forms a long "U" shape.
For all three connections you will need to push the staple into the front of the connection pushing in the clips on either side of the pin. As with the female fan pins, sometimes pushing the wire all the way into the housing can help the clips free up of surrounding obstructions. When you think you have snagged the clips, try pulling the cable loose.
These types of connections will definitely take you the longest to master - have patience and if a pin is stubborn, it's usually better to skip it, and return later or have a short break.

A Quote by Joanne Goldsmith
The librarian who quietly removes a book from the shelf because of a noisy complaint is more guilty of restricting intellectual freedom than the complainant. The librarian has responsibility to a tradition, a body of law, and to the procedures established and approved for dealing with complaints. Worse, once the librarian has surrendered on a single occasion, he or she is the first target in future assaults. Extremism feeds on success. It is made bolder and more demanding by victory.

A GROUP OF WOMEN FROM MAINE LEFT FOR THE NATION'S CAPITAL THIS MORNING, TO TAKE PART IN A NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION IN SUPPORT OF SAFER CHEMICALS. THE EIGHT WOMEN ARE CARRYING MORE THAN 21-HUNDRED PETITION SIGNATURES, CALLING ON CONGRESS TO MODERNIZE THE FEDERAL TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACT, FROM 19-76. THEY CONTEND THE LAW IS OUTDATED AND MORE NEEDS TO BE DOWN TO PROTECT CHILDREN'S HEALTH FROM DANGEROUS CHEMICALS FOUND IN EVERYDAY PRODUCTS. "our current chemical safety system is broken. We've had laws on the books for 37 years, but, with 80,000 chemicals on the market and only 200 have ever been evaluated by the EPA. So we really need to make sure the products on our shelves are safe, and we need congress to help us do that." THE GROUP STARTED GETTING SIGNATURES FROM FACEBOOK, TWITTER, AND EMAIL BLASTS.

Young Leaders Award 2014 - finalists announced
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing
Young Leaders Award 2014 - finalists announced
The finalists of this year's 24housing Young Leaders Award have been announced.
Katie Bond (Notting Hill Housing), Robin Moorcroft (Sanctuary Group), Joanne Miller (Daventry and District Housing), Richard Brooks (Herefordshire Housing) and Roxanne Bacon (New Charter) will battle it out for the 2014 title at the National Housing Federation annual conference in Birmingham next month where they will each deliver a 400-second 'PechaKucha' style presentation live on stage in front of hundreds of delegates.
Their passage to the final was secured after outstanding performances on semi-final day, held at the Federation's offices in London where they presented and debated their ideas to solve the housing crisis in the company of NHF chief David Orr.
24housing editor Jon Land said: "Congratulations to our final five for making it this far, it's a commendable achievement and they should be proud of themselves.
"Judging the semi-final was exceptionally tough and the judges were divided over who should go through. There's no doubt that the final is going to be a nerve-wracking prospect but we are confident that our finalists will be up to the challenge. We urge everyone going to the conference to support them on the day. They'll need your support."
The full report on this year's semi-final will be published in the September edition of 24housing.

Secondary Sources: Market Turmoil, Jobs Picture, Big Banks
A roundup of economic news from around the Web.
Market Turmoil: Don't blame the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program—and its talk about when that program might end—for giving rise to exceptional volatility in financial markets, writes Antonio Fatás of INSEAD. "I can see the market is indeed getting worried about the exit strategy and that we are potentially heading for some volatile period in terms of interest rates. But what is not correct is to argue that what we are seeing is that unusual. Any time monetary policy gets tighter (regardless of the level of interest rate), we see volatility in interest rates. And in previous episodes we have seen volatility that is possibly as high or higher than what we have witnessed so far."
The Jobs Picture: The National Women's Law Center looked at the jobs situation in the U.S., four years into the economic recovery, and found that while things have picked up, employment is still below pre-recession levels. The Washington, D.C., group also found that there may be quantity, but not necessarily quality, where the new work is concerned. Citing hiring by retailers, restaurants and temporary-help firms, the group says "much of the new job growth has been concentrated in lower-wage sectors, which may not offer the same wages, benefits, and opportunities as the jobs that have been lost."
Other assessments are even more dire. Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute homes in on the employment to population ratio, which makes a bleak lens through which to view the labor situation, particularly for men. He writes, "the male employment ratio reached its peak in the early 1950s-and then commenced an almost relentless descent. Today's level is the lowest thus far-but this decline of work for men has been unfolding for decades, indeed generations. Over the past 60 years, the employment ratio for adult men has plummeted by about 20 percentage points…How is this collapse of work to be explained? In purely arithmetic terms, the great bulk of the change is due to an exodus out of the labor force-that is to say, to a massive long-term rise in the number of adult men who are neither working nor seeking work."
Big Banks: VoxEU examined banking systems around the world to gauge the macroeconomic effects of having a highly concentrated financial sector. "Not only are banking systems highly concentrated in general, but banks' assets relative to GDP have also increased quite sharply in OECD countries. This magnifies the effect that shocks to any one bank may have for the real economy," write Franziska Bremus, Claudia M. Buch, Katheryn Russ and Monika Schnitzer. The authors make three policy recommendations: "First, reducing the risk-taking incentives of larger banks and thus the magnitude of idiosyncratic shocks will limit granular effects;" "second, the higher the risk-buffers of the banks themselves, the less severe are the implications of idiosyncratic shocks for the macroeconomy," and "Third, reduced concentration in the banking sector could be a means of mitigating granular effects. Hence, competition policy has an important role to play."

RA picks the September festival highlights from across the globe.
RA's Nick Sylvester chats to the LCD Soundsystem frontman and disco DJ in advance of his performance at this year's Electric Zoo festival.
Disco is big yet again in London town, and Horse Meat Disco are largely responsible. RA talks to Jim Stanton and James Hillard, two of the DJs behind the party, to find out more.
RA catches up with Booka Shade in advance of their appearance at this year's Get Loaded in the Park to talk about their vaunted live show and their upcoming record.
Whereas their more vaunted Norwegian contemporaries can be neatly pigeonholed as future disco visionaries, it's nearly impossible to categorize the work of Mungolian Jetset. RA chats up the Oslo duo.

On December 3, 2014, NASA�s Aqua satellite passed over New Zealand as the clouds parted, allowing the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board to capture this true-color image of South Island.With an area of 151,215 square km (58,093 sq mi), South Island is the largest of the two main islands of New Zealand and the twelfth largest island in the world. The largest city, Christchurch, lies just north of the Banks Peninsula, the hook-like projection on the east coast.
Nicknamed the �Garden City� because of tree-lined streets and extremely beautiful gardens, Christchurch was severely damaged by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake on February 22, 2011. The center was close to the surface, with extremely high ground acceleration that raised the earth up at about 20 meters (65 feet) per second, before dropping it back down. At least 185 people died in that earthquake, and the city continues to rebuild.
Lesser magnitude earthquakes continue to be common in Christchurch, with four quakes reported on the date this image was captured, each between 2.33 and 2.87 magnitude. Such earthquakes cause little or no damage, but are reminders of the potential power of "the big one".
Several major fault lines run the length of New Zealand, many of which are oblique strike slip faults, which move with a combination of vertical and sideways shifting. In South Island a series of relatively minor fault lines runs across the country. Movement along such minor lines caused the Christchurch earthquake of 2011, and continues to cause frequent earthquakes in the region. The most major fault line in South Island is the Alpine Fault, which has given rise to steep and snow-covered Southern Alps range. This feature is easily seen from space lying in the western section of the island.

Arsenal have spent the majority of the summer targeting a player able to play in the midfield anchor role, with the likes Morgan Schneiderlin, Lars Bender and Real Madrid star Sami Khedira all linked with a switch to Arsenal. The squad lacks an expert player in that role, explaining Arsenal's difficulties in midfield battles at times last season.
The above image is taken from four minutes into Arsenal's 6-0 loss to Chelsea last season, and was the result of an Arsenal move breaking down only metres into Chelsea's half. While there was a modicum of protection for the defence at the time, both deeper midfielders stepped out, giving Chelsea a two on two break, which Samuel Eto'o converted easily for the first goal of the match.
A mere two minutes later, an Arsenal player losing the ball in midfield (this time Santi Cazorla) gave Chelsea a simple run at goal, down the right hand side, given the lack of additional protection afforded to the defence. Schurrle scored here, never once truly challenged down the right.
Given these issues, it makes sense that Arsenal would want to improve their options in defensive midfield. Last season they were generally reliant upon Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini. The former is not a natural deep-lying midfielder, and the latter performed above himself for the majority of the season.
It seems, however, that Arsene Wenger may have changed his plans, and may instead be looking to convert Arsenal's Jack Wilshere into a fully fledged defensive midfielder.
On the surface, this seems like the sort of plan that might just lead to more issues for the Gunners. Wilshere came into the professional game as a dynamic attacking midfielder, equally adept at playing on the wing as he was through the middle. He may have ended up occupying one of Arsenal's two deeper midfield roles, but he is often the one who ends up breaking forward of the two, as demonstrated by the sublime team goal against Norwich last season.
While Wilshere has developed a reputation as a tough-tackling midfielder, and his combativeness is impressive, how does he match up statistically to some of the specialists that Wenger has been looking to sign instead? This will give us a better insight as to whether Wilshere can adapt to the role as required.
As the Squawka Comparison Matrix shows, Wilshere's defensive statistics per 90 minutes played do not compare well to those who naturally play in that role, especially Bender and Schneiderlin, who played significantly more football than Khedira last season. They both won far more tackles and made more interceptions per minute. This is key, as one of Wilshere's most important jobs in occupying this role would be to break up opposition moves, something that is clearly important given the away displays against Chelsea and Liverpool last season.
On the other hand, the England international's key pass statistics shows that he can be an effective influence in creating play from deep. This means that he might still be useful in the role when Arsenal are playing against perceived "weaker" sides, as he could play incisive passes to carve open an opposition defence. However, this doesn't make up for the fact that he's not built to do what Arsenal need most.
All in all, Arsenal clearly need a specialist in the role, considering their struggles when facing top sides who can break effectively last season. It is a nice idea that Wilshere could be that player, but it is too much of a risk when other sides are strengthening so significantly at the top of the table, considering his relatively weak stats as required for the role. Wenger would be best served by spending some of a supposedly large budget on a player built for the position.

By Staff Sgt. Joel Salgado (USAREUR)August 13, 2013
FT. Campbell, Ky. -- Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) hosted members of Fox Sports along with current and former major league sports athletes during their visit here Aug. 12.
The crew from Fox Sports visited Ft. Campbell as part of their summer bus tour to promote the creation and launch of Fox Sports 1.
"We have Fox sports regional networks across the country and a new Fox Sports 1 brand launching and for us it's all about the different communities and the different people we can connect with," said Becky Ross, the Director of Public Relations for Fox Sports North and Wisconsin. "And for us to go out on the road and especially to come to a military base like this and connect with all these people who are watching our networks is really important."
During their time here at Ft. Campbell, the Fox Sports representatives were involved in a series of community relations events and training ranging from physical training to rappelling at the air assault school.
Beginning early in the morning, they participated in physical fitness training with students at Third Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division. The training consisted of a demonstration of Army Physical Readiness Training followed by a round of circuit training.
"Anything like that, that athletic stuff, I'm all for it," Jenny, a Fox Sports North Girl, said. "I've never felt so great." Jenny declined to give her last name due to security and privacy concerns as directed by Fox corporate office.
They followed their morning workout with breakfast with Soldiers at the 101st Sustainment Brigade Dining Facility before moving on to their next destination, the Lozada Physical Fitness Center, for a series of team building exercises pairing the Fox Sports team with 101st Sust. Bde Soldiers.
Following a lunch and meet and greet at the Zone they moved on to the Ft. Campbell High School to meet with the students.
Next it was on to the Sabalauski Air Assault School for a demonstration of rappelling and a chance to get some "hands on." The school cadre led them through the obstacle course and demonstrated the confidence building that is necessary to become an air assault Soldier before taking them to the rappel tower.
"Truthfully I was a little nervous and I'm up for anything normally," Jenny said. "The height of it was a little scary and just watching the whole initially getting off I was worried about, but once you feel the rope behind you it's about confidence."
After the air assault school, the Fox crew left to continue their tour with a new appreciation for what the Army does.
"I really take away all the hard work and everything that (Soldiers) put in getting ready to deploy," said Katie, a Fox Sports Girl from San Diego. "You hear on the news the different things (Soldiers) do, but to actually see it and do it with them really puts that into perspective and that's something I'll take with me forever."

'Newsroom' premiere numbers are open to interpretation
Aaron Sorkin drama drew 2.1 million viewers on Sunday night
"The Newsroom," HBO's drama about how people report and interpret the news, debuted on Sunday (June 25) with an audience that's very much open to interpretation.
In its first airing, the Aaron Sorkin created drama drew 2.1 million viewers. That's below the 2.2 million viewers who watched the first airing of "Game of Thrones" when it premiered in 2010, but above the premiere numbers for "True Blood" (1.4 million viewers in 2008) and "Luck" or "Treme" (1.1 million each). The numbers were far below the 4.8 million viewers who watched the premiere of "Boardwalk Empire" in 2010.
Every single one of those shows -- plus all of HBO's recent comedies which premiered to lower viewership -- were renewed for second seasons by HBO, so it's hard to imagine HBO not renewing "Newsroom."
Including its second Sunday airing, "Newroom" drew 2.7 million viewers in its first night.
Naysayers, though, will point out that "Newsroom," which drew decidedly mixed reviews, squandered more than half of its lead-in from "True Blood," which drew 4.7 million viewers in its 9 p.m. airing.

This week, Jared Lee Laughner altered his plea from "not guilty" to "guilty" in the shooting of Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, along with six killed and another twelve wounded. This came 577 days after Mr. Laughner stood in the middle of the congresswoman's press conference and sprayed bullets indiscriminately around the room. (Shouldn't society have a right to speedy trials?)
Last month, a gunman claiming to be the "Joker" entered a crowded theatre and performed much the same act. He remains in custody (surely no place I'd want to be), but largely unaffected by his actions other than the fact he can't roam the streets for now.
Last week, a sick individual entered a place of worship and wounded four innocent people including a police officer who was shot nine times. The culprit also turned his gun on himself, controlling the final chapter of his actions himself.
In each of these cases, society is a loser because these individuals stole a little bit of freedom, confidence, and safety from all 300+ million of us. In addition, the lack of reaction toward the individual provides some level of excuse for future offenders.
What happened to suffering the consequences of one's actions?
Banks make bad loans, TARP must be created to save them. (Responsible taxpayers must put up their funds to save poor performing lenders.)
Borrowers get themselves in deep, HAMP, HARP, and other government lending programs are created to bail them out. (Again, taxpayers must support people living in homes they can't afford.)
Greece (and Ireland) does much the same thing and the world looks to Germany to lend a hand. Spain and Italy are getting in line as well. (The German economy is headed toward recession and facing a very tough decision here.)
People who do bad things, make mistakes or even just get unlucky* should suffer the consequences. If not, then what justifies any sense of order?
I pity the 25 year old professional who has been taught that bad loans will soon be followed by societal bailouts. Reality may be napping, but eventually the alarm that is the final bailout will sound and order will be restored with pain and suffering magnitudes worse than what could be absorbed today.
*- It may seem harsh to allow unlucky outcomes to be followed by "consequences." If you feel this way, ask yourself the following questions: "Should there be no downside to risk-taking and failing due to no fault to yourself? If so, who pays for the consequences of this failure? Society – meaning all of us?" Placing too much burden on society as a whole can bring it down. Of course an acceptable social safety net should exist, but negative consequences must follow negative outcomes.

Upbeat Lambert
Jermaine Lannaman, Gleaner Writer
Captain Tamar Lambert is backing Jamaica to come good in their final three preliminary-round matches and book a spot in the next round of the on-going Caribbean Twenty20 tournament.
Jamaica, who will play the Leeward Islands in the fourth game today at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad and Tobago, are currently third in the seven-team tournament on five points.
Title-holders Trinidad lead the standings with nine points, while Barbados are second with eight.
"I still believe we have a good chance of making it through to the next round of the competition," said Lambert after his team's 12-run win over the Windward Islands on Wednesday.
"The team is gelling and growing in confidence and once we continue to show the improvements as we did in our last game, I am confident we can finish in the top three and qualify for the next round," he added.
automatic qualification
The tournament will see the top team in the preliminary round qualifying for the final automatically.
The second- and third-place teams will then play off for the other final spot.
Jamaica, who are without Chris Gayle, who just concluded playing in the Australia Big Bash League, and Marlon Samuels, who picked up an injury while playing in the same league, played to a no-result with Trinidad in their opening game before going down by five wickets to Barbados.
Against the Leewards, Jamaica's coaching staff led by Junior Bennett, are again expected to ring the changes as they did in the second and third games, as they seek to find the right combination.
In the game against Barbados, Jamaica left out emerging left-arm fast bowler Sheldon Cotterrell, and brought in debutant off-spinner, Jamie Merchant, as they sought to play on their opponents' traditional weakness against spin.
The move had limited success as despite ending with steady figures of one for 14 off three overs, Merchant was dismissed for a duck in Jamaica's low score of 72.
This prompted Bennett to include an additional batsman against the Windwards with Andre McCarthy getting the nod ahead of Merchant. McCarthy made 19 in Jamaica's 116 off 17 overs (the overs were reduced due to rain) to follow up their paltry 72 against Barbados. Bennett could again experiment with Yannick Elliott, the other specialist batsman in the 14-member squad.

Richard Gill: The Value of Music EducationEducation
- Highlights
- watch now
Music doesn't describe, narrate or tell stories. What it does best is evoke, suggest and imply. It can open up the mind of a child in extraordinary ways. The abstraction of music allows them into a special world and a unique way of thinking. And that's why they should make their own, preferably via singing.
That's the message of music educator and maestro Richard Gill, who puts the case at TEDx Sydney as to why music education should be a right for every child. His was one of the standout presentations of the event.
Richard Gill has been Music Director of the Victorian Opera Company since its inception in 2006. He has also been Artistic Director of OzOpera, Artistic Director/Chief Conductor of the Canberra Symphony Orchestra and Adviser for the Musica Viva in Schools Program. Currently, Gill works as the Artistic Director of the Sydney Symphony's Education Program. He has frequently conducted for Opera Australia and OzOpera, Meet the Music (SSO), Discovery concerts (Sydney Sinfonia), Ears Wide Open (MSO), as well as the symphony orchestras in Canberra, Queensland and Tasmania. Gill's many accolades include an Order of Australia Medal, the Bernard Heinze Award, an Honorary Doctorate from the Edith Cowan University of Western Australia and the Australia Council's prestigious Don Banks Award.

It would be a great resource if Mr. Gill could list the songs that children should hear and sing.

music education doesnt inspire people as much as it helps them understand the rest of the world, listening to music, REAL music makes you think, it makes you smarter, makes learning other things easier
maybe its not that smart people learn music because they're smart, maybe its that people who understand music become smarter

Chip Stern writes, "There is something enduring and reassuring in the classic audio verities." The Vandersteen 2Ce Signature loudspeaker is certainly considered one of those timeless classics. But how does a speaker released in its first incarnation more than 20 years ago hold up by today's standards? Stern lends his modern ear to the task and includes notes from Richard Vandersteen himself.
Next we've got Jonathan Scull's Fine Tunes #28 from the October issue. "If you can't find enough material to keep you and your system spotlessly clean, I'll eat my shorts!" exclaims J-10 after revealing his tweak-a-holic Internet source. Also, comments on audiophile-grade AC outlets, automotive damping compound, and foot-beauty stones.

The decision has been made and our tour IS going to happen for the show in March. Full details will follow soon. It seems that we might have some issues with putting on this tour. A representative from IAHA contacted me and told me that Transworld will not support our tour in anyway, that they will not promote us on their website and that they won't even allow our buses to pick up at the convention center. I personally can not believe that transworld would say that. I was under the asumption that transworld was for us, the haunters. Based on the messages on this board and the emails I have received, there are a lot of haunters out there who want to go on our tour. I plan to contact transworld myself and see if what IAHA said is true. I really hope not, that would not look good for transworld. Again, full details of the tour to follow. Stay tuned!

Definition of immiscible in English:
(Of liquids) not forming a homogeneous mixture when added together: water is immiscible with suntan oil
More example sentences
- They are immiscible with many organic solvents, particularly linear hydrocarbons and alicyclics like cyclopentane, so can be combined either with water or with an organic solvent to form a two-phase system.
- Oil and water are immiscible liquids, but a temporary emulsion may be formed by a brisk shaking of the liquids.
- We searched for immiscible liquid phases in monolayers of two different ternary lipid mixtures.
- Example sentences
- Familiar examples are the miscibility of alcohol and water and the immiscibility of oil and water, which can be explained by intermolecular interactions.
- The non-polar groups prefer to interact with each other, and exclude water from these regions, leading to immiscibility.
- Two processes can lead to the concentration of valuable commodities: liquid immiscibility and fractional crystallization.
Late 17th century: from late Latin immiscibilis, from in- 'not' + miscibilis (see miscible).
Words that rhyme with immiscibleadmissible, dismissible, impermissible, irremissible, miscible, omissible, permissible, remissible, transmissible

Match, Point: Hermes's Tennis-Themed Looks Score
Tennis ,anyone?
Hermès designer Jean Paul Gaultier used grass turf to cover the floor and seats of the industrial warehouse where the elite house of Hermès showed its spring ready to wear collection on Wednesday evening in Paris.
It smelled good. The champagne that was handed around (before and after the show) seemed fitting. And the tennis theme left wide room for a collection of clothes that was sporty, jet set, and even preppy.
Tennis skirts, shirt dresses, and V-neck Great Gatsby sweaters dominated the looks – each of which was accompanied by a bag of some sort — bags and leather goods being a huge part of Hermès' business. Many of the bags Hermes was promoting were oversized Kelly bags – some big enough to be suitcases.
One white and gray crocodile Birkin – what a fortune that will cost? – had a twin in the front row, sitting primly on the lap of a guest.
And now we know that it's hard to find a fashion model that can play tennis. Part of the show's gag was to have two models walk the runway, then pull out rackets and start hitting a ball back and forth at the head of the catwalk. Or that was the idea anyway. They dissolved into giggles at first, unable to hit the ball even once. As they warmed up, they began to hit the balls – even managing to konk a few guests on the head. All in a day's play.

Warren County won't release public information
In Warren County, a deputy is accused of raping an inmate.
The incident happened August 10, when Deputy Dewayne Wood was driving a female inmate to the McDuffie County Jail.
She claims he pulled off the road and raped her.
News 12 filed the legal paperwork for public information about Deputy Wood's background.
After weeks of silence, News 12 asked Sheriff Joe Peebles if Deputy Wood has ever been in trouble, but the sheriff wasn't around to give us what we asked for.
"If it's public, the tax payers are paying 'em, so why shouldn't we be informed?" asks Warren County resident Lester Woods.
Residents in Warren County have planned a protest today about the incident. It's scheduled for 10 a.m. at the sheriff's office.
News 12 will be there to bring you the story.
Drugs in Augusta
Cocaine, marijuana, meth, and even heroin.
You name it, narcotics investigators are finding it on Augusta's streets.
According to Richmond County reports, narcotics investigators have taken on more than 4500 cases since 2003.
The most common drugs found on Augusta's streets are still marijuana and cocaine, but the drug business does not end there.
Other, more expensive drugs, like heroin, continue to be imported here, then sold in places like our parking lots and motels.
"There is no other way to put it," says Sgt. Allen Rollins. "They are straight up drug dealers, and a lot of them aren't necessarily just dealing any drug. A true drug dealer is going to deal in any drugs that'll show a profit for them."
Here's a breakdown of the number of drug-related arrests in Richmond County over the last four years. They range from 1400 to 1600 per year.
|Drug Arrests in Richmond County
Sgt. Rollins says Atlanta continues to be a major hub, or source city, for drugs to be bought, then sold back into Augusta.
Texas, California and the city of Savannah are some others.
Two women killed in Bartow domestic dispute
Officers found two women dead after a domestic dispute in Bartow Friday.
Johnny Hicks was arrested and charged with double murder.
Jefferson County deputies say a call came in around 8:30 Friday morning from a home on Noah Heggs Road. The caller said her husband was threatening to shoot her mother.
When deputies arrived, Lashonda Hicks and her mother, Carole Ann Thomas, had both been shot to death.
Johnny Hicks was found later off Highway 319 after he attempted to run from police. An officer stopped him after forcing Hick's car into a ditch.
Charges could be in store for Few
Residency may still be a problem for Ronnie Few in Columbia County, and it could cost him.
Few was cleared last Thursday in a residency challenge in Richmond County. The decision allows him to remain on November's ballot for mayor.
But his challenger, Woody Merry, says he plans to appeal the board's decision to let Few stay in the race, and the other challenger, Melanie Roy, also wants to take part.
Meanwhile, Columbia County is looking into possible charges after Few signed a homestead exemption swearing he lived there.
Coming Up
Coffee is good when you need a boost in the mornings...but what you add to that cup of Joe could slow you down
Tuesday, we'll tell you what ingredients you may be adding to your coffee that you don't need.

Yes, Jimmy Carr avoided tax and the BNP loves Al Murray's Pub Landlord, but it's hard to find a comedian who votes Tory.
Caroline Raphael, BBC Radio 4's commissioning editor for comedy, recently confessed to difficulty in finding unashamedly right-wing comedians to balance the left-wingers on her shows. I know about stand-up only, not about comedy in general, but in my experience there aren't really any right-wing stand-up comedians who would fit Raphael's brief.
