As part of the promotional tour surrounding her appearance on the cover of the 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, a much warmer and more appropriately dressed Kate Upton appeared on the Today show on Tuesday morning to describe the harrowing experience she and the rest of the photo shoot party endured to capture the breathtaking images of her posing in a bikini in a freezing Antarctica for this year's issue. Via Today: "I was very surprised by the news that that's where my shoot was going to be located,'' she said on TODAY Tuesday in her first interview since making the cover. "It was freezing. I'm from Florida, so it wasn't great for me. When I came back I was losing hearing and eyesight because my body was shutting down, it was working so hard to keep warm. I was thinking warm thoughts. "I could really only do it for a minute and then everyone would come running and throw blankets on top of me and they would build me like a little blanket cave. I really went all out on this. We went there thinking we might not even get a shot, and came back with the cover." Despite the brutally adverse conditions, Upton nevertheless managed to take in the wondrous splendor of the frozen yet majestic Antarctica surroundings, saying, "It was the most beautiful place I've ever been,'' and adding, "Before I took off my coat, I would just enjoy the views. The mountains were pink and the water was glass. It was like little ice cubes were in the water. It was gorgeous.'' Upton added that she was inspired by the local wildlife. "The penguins kept me going,'' she said. "They're adorable, and any time I was like, 'I can't take any more, I can't,' I would look at them and I was like, 'OK, for them.''' Penguins are indeed inspiring. Cute little buggers. For those who haven't seen it yet, below is some video Sports Illustrated shot of the unique and potentially treacherous shoot: Perhaps it's time we all stop pretending that the 2013 edition of the Sports Ilustrated Swimsuit Issue isn't the only thing we care about in the world right now. Because it's true, right? (for more Kate Upton goodness, feel free to peruse the Sportress of Blogitude archives) TweetThe post On 'Today,' Kate Upton says her 'body was shutting down' during Antarctica shoot (videos) appeared first on Sportress of Blogitude.

She looks absolutely beautiful, what is wrong with you that you have to attack somebody for being comfortable with their own body and want to show their beauty. You must have some very deep down issues with women or something.
Your parents are about as proud of your lousy grammer and spellin'.
I thought one of our founding principals was the right of free speech.
I think this guy is exercising that right.
Get over yourself and step off the soapbox.
go stick your head in an oven and strike a match you backwoods anomaly i wish my sister could make that kind of cash with her looks which is probably why you don't approve in the first place you probably have to sneak up to a glass of water just to get a sip
Wah! Wah! You were cold. I'm sure your were well paid, next year don't do it if your going to whine.
... SPORTS ILLUSTRATED? Doesn't look like that's what they are illustrating AT ALL!
Desperate to get money from men thinking with the wrong head if you asked me. Wonderful (sarcasm)
She is beautiful. Too bad about the wacko prudes who simply can't seem to recognize that. Don't read the SI Swimsuit Issue if you are offended by a person who is actually physically fit and takes care of their skin and body, instead of being a fat slob downing a gallon of soda per day and being a couch potato...you prudes have nothing to say. Go back to your twinkies now.
Something about this gal's body looks off.. I don't think the picture shows anything more then any other bikini-clad model's photograph, perhaps not even as much as most.. However, doesn't her head look small for her body and her boobs look HUGE in proportion to the rest of her?
The location shoot is the dumbist thing I ever heard of; is it really important for a woman that men want to objectify to have her body almost shut down for nearly nude shots?! Unbelievably stupid!
There is nothing wrong with the photo or the model. The location is a little confusing, but I'm sure there was plenty of opportunities to get warm. For the people posting on here that are saying this is "porn" or "Playboy" wtf are you talking about? Just because she doesn't look like the typical 250lb lard ass known as the American women doesn't mean there is anything wrong with her
All I know is I would eat the lining outta Kate's#$%%&.
She can do whatever she wants with her untoned, implanted body ...but don't shove it in everyone's face...Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is nothing but a lame excuse for guys to look at porn and 20 yr old girls..."just looking at the locale shots" my ass! SI spends all this money to tote these whores around the world...they could take pics in the back alley and guys would buy it! Are you for real? Everywhere you turn...this magazine is on the checkout lines when I'm with my kids...it's on tv...its all over the internet...when are men going to grow up.(oh, right...never!)..keep your porn on your office internet! Do me a favor all who have some morals...when you are in the checkout line, put a Good Housekeeping magazine in front of any kind of magazine like this! That's what I do! Men can't find anything unless it's right in their face, so if no one buys it...maybe they'll stop making it! And if this is supposed to be showing swimsuits...(wait, I'm laughing so hard, I can't see!) most of the time they are holding a top you can't see or not wearing one! or painted on! What a joke!
Sounds like someone has some man issues. This hardly equals pornography. Have you ever been to Europe? Shampoo adds in Europe are worse than anything in SI's swimsuit edition. Calling these women whores hardly seems like something that would come from someone with such a strong moral compass. American's need to relax, it is natural to admire and enjoy the human body.
So go back to Europe to look at half naked 20 yr olds!
I would love to warm my big icicle up inside her igloo!!
Hey, just because we ARE 250 pounds of woman, doesn't make us LESS of one! We are beautiful, and some of us cannot help it. Medications, injury etc has made us so. So, we are not 110 pounds of untoned, inflated fake breast, at least we are real. Also, wise $$$, I was a size 6/8 at one time and it was the most UN- F ing comfortable time of my life, because of how awkward it was being around creeps like you. Always staring, and saying nasty things. I was in a car accident that injured my back, and began to balloon up to 200 pounds, that is when I found my husband and love of my life. and at 250 pounds, he thinks I am the sexiest thing on earth.
This girl is so full of it, when she speaks the grass grows green. Sure! Her body was shutting down from the cold and she got frostbite. I don't think so! Nice Publicity by Time INc., though.
werewolf- So your husband is fat too? Why are you so defensive about your weight? No one was getting personal. Me thinks you have a complex about it or you wouldn't have responded so defensively. BTW- can't be good for your organs to be carrying that around...
I'm still looking for the sports to be illustrated in this illustration.

About the Book
Layers is the work of a group of young artists from Cornish College of the Arts. We met in the fall of 2011 for a year-long course exploring Seattle as an arts ecosystem. We studied bioregionalism, as described by Robert L. Thayer in his landmark book, Life/Place: Bioregional Thought and Practice, and considered how we might apply scientific theories of community and ecosystem ecology to our local arts community. Lucy R. Lippard's The Lure of the Local: Senses of Place in a Multicentered Society provided us with a meaningful bridge between science and art, and we set out to make our own investigation of Seattle's complex arts ecosystem.
Olympic Sculpture Park, Town Hall, Pioneer Square, the Vera Project, the Burke Museum, Frye Art Museum, McCaw Hall, Seattle Public Library, and Experience Music Project were among the places we explored in some depth, with an eye to understand how these places worked as well as how they worked on us. The generosity of Seattle's artists and arts administrators gave us access to hidden stories, underground history, juicy facts, and hard-won experience to feed our curiosity, enrich our understanding, and illuminate our view of the city's arts.
Meanwhile, we read stories and poems by Sherman Alexie, Richard Hugo, Murray Morgan, Adrienne Rich, and David Sedaris. We read essays by Julie Burstein on how creativity works. We read Anne Lamott, Peter Elbow, and Natalie Goldberg on writing. And we shared our observations, analyses, and personal experiences in myriad ways.
Over time, this collection of sculptors, musicians, composers, actors, designers, photographers, performance artists, painters, and vocalists became a community with its own ethos. Honesty, kindness, and curiosity guided the intelligent, sometimes mind-bending, and frequently humorous conversations we had on a wide variety of topics. Anything could be questioned. Everyone and no one was the leader. We had each other's backs.
As we began to brainstorm about the framework for our inquiry project, conventional academic approaches were quickly jettisoned in favor of an approach drawn from artistic practice. Students selected Seattle's tallest building, the Columbia Center with its multiple vantage points, as the limiting factor of their inquiry. Drawing a connection between the layers of the Pacific Northwest rainforest (forest floor, understory, canopy, and emergent layer) with key levels of the Columbia Center (5th Avenue lobby, 40th-floor Sky Lobby, 73rd-floor Sky View Observatory, and the private floors of Columbia Tower Club, 74 through 76), students chose to study what they could see in or from one of those levels. Within these limits, anything was possible.
Individuals chose research topics as diverse as themselves, some taking panoramic views and others zeroing in on the ultra-specific. Some looked outward, others inward. Approaches to the writing varied from journalistic to poetic, scientific to science-fictional, historical to spiritual, and everything in between. Along the way, students edited, discussed, and helped to shape one another's work. The result is the book you hold in your hands.
This group of artists sees Seattle in all its richness, complexity, and contradictions, and their vision is reflected in the pages that follow. Layers is a book to read from beginning to end, skip around in, study, or simply enjoy. We hope you do.

Ep. 106: A Carousel Of Drummers w/ Campaign's York Henderson
We'll be back to normal episode postings soon, on this one we're joined by York Henderson, guitar player for one of our favorite bands that we've found through doing the show, Atlanta's Campaign. The band gives most of their music away for download, but if you would like to contribute anything to them, be sure to go to their bandcamp.
Of course there's a bit of lockout talk, the plague of finding stable band members and band logos.
There's a bunch of distortion throughout the call, I apologize as I cleaned it up the best I could.
This is Campaign at The Fest last year(Fest 10):
Songs Featured This Week:
(Intro) This Current State by The Disappeared
Sparrows Fall by Converge
My Rules by Trash Talk

v. When all you can do all day long is lay on the couch, unshowered, in the same underwear you dribbled on the night before, in sweatpants, and eat and watch television all day long. You do not have the energy to get up to anything that doesn't involve making or eating food; even a shower is just too taxing. A pull out couch or futon is usually involved, as well as lots of pillows and blankets. Closely related to "Big Fat Fuck-a-Thon".

Students at Malmesbury School are celebrating national Fairtrade Fortnight with an eclectic mix of activities in the theme Take a Step Together.
This week pupils have dressed up their teachers, cooked treats in a bake-off, and taken part in a photo shoot called 'How You Wear Yours', with coloured ribbons to support Fairtrade.
Headteacher Tim Gilson said: "It's a big national campaign, lots of schools do it. We started in 2006 and it's been an important part of our culture and ethos since then.
"Sasha Basak, a maths teacher here, tragically died a few years ago and this is part of her legacy."
Fairtrade Fortnight runs until March 8, and the students have several other activities lined up.

Horrendous weather played havoc with the Ten Tors event at the weekend, with teams from the three Wiltshire schools which entered all failing to complete the challenge.
John of Gaunt School in Trowbridge had two teams attempting to take on the 35 and 45-mile treks across Dartmoor over Saturday and Sunday.
Both failed to make it to the end.
The 35-mile team got to the fifth of the ten tors before they were forced to pull out after one member of the team suffered a knee injury.
The 45-mile team reached the seventh tor before navigational problems and an injury stopped them in their tracks.
The teams had received two new tents before the trek, following a donation from Medequip for £500, after employee Ian Richardson had offered to help the school out.
Humanities director of learning Stuart Gray, who was team manager, said: "Unfortunately, both teams were unsuccessful.
"Dartmoor Rescue group picked up the 35-mile team at about 8.30pm on Saturday.
"I'm proud of the way they handled the situation.
"The 45-mile team took the decision to drop themselves out as one member had an ankle injury and combined with a navigational failure they weren't going to finish in time.
"Considering the conditions, I'm pleased they looked after each other well and didn't have any serious issues.
"They were disheartened they didn't finish, but they still made the school proud."

HOUSTON - A married couple was arrested after officials said they had thousands of fake Apple cellphone covers.
Hansjan Evertse, 42, and his wife, Hui Liange-Evertse, 41, of Sugar Land, were charged with trademark counterfeiting.
Court documents said the pair had 2,392 counterfeit cellphone covers that they intended to sell at their business, Lily Trading, on Regency Square Boulevard in southwest Houston. Their business specialized in the distribution of accessories and parts for cellphones.
Police said the fake iPhone covers were worth more than $100,000.
The suspects' bonds were set at $5,000 each.
Officials said the couple has two children.

A NEW award for the Museum of Lancashire has been hailed by county council culture boss Marcus Johnstone.
It received a 'Certificate of Excellence' from TripAdvisor after consistently positive reviews on its travel rating website.
Burnley West and Padiham's Coun Johnstone is delighted the county's flagship museum in Preston has been recognised.
He said: "Congratulations to the staff.
"It's a superb attraction and it comes as no surprise to me that 93 per cent of visitors have rated the museum as very good or excellent.
"There are a number of very interesting events coming up at the museum in the next couple of months which I have every confidence will attract more positive reviews.
"In particular, I'd be keen to see the two World War One exhibitions, Somewhere in France and Outbreak 1914 – and let's not forget the Silverdale Hoard which is on display for the rest of the year."
Housed in the former Quarter Sessions House, the Museum of Lancashire is a gateway to more than 2,000 years of Lancashire's history.
The museum was reopened in November 2011 after a £1.7million refurbishment project.

Rosario Dawson in a bikini
Here's Rosario Dawson vacationing in Italy this week and, wow, what the hell happened? She used to be stupid hot. This is like going to your favorite restaurant after a year or two only to find out they stopped serving cheese fries and the entire place turned into Sasquatch. But with breasts you can't stop staring out. God, this is confusing.

Being able to spend two weeks in an absolutely amazing country was an
experience I'll keep with me forever. The two weeks I spent in Peru were two
of the most interesting weeks of my life by far! It's a very different place
than home, and the customs as well as the way of life in Peru was vastly
There were aspects that I loved and appreciated. One being the
fact that everyone was relaxed, and seemed to enjoy the moments of the day
in a completely different way than we do in the U.S. The landscape was also
very different than what I am used to, and the giant mountains and snow caps in the distance were an incredible sight. In addition to the mountains, the many long fields of grass and flowers with the llamas and alpacas that roamed the less residential areas were extremely beautiful.
The many markets and street vendors were really cool, and I enjoyed looking
at thousands of beautiful crafts and clothing. The idea of negotiating prices with vendors was also awesome; we were able to get some great deals! The first day I probably paid too much for a few items, but I learned how to negotiate better by the second day!
There were other aspects which, for me, were hard to adjust to. For example, there were many dogs roaming the streets in Cusco, some of which had homes, and other which were strays. I'm more of a cat person myself, and have a little fear of dogs. Some of them were adorable and friendly, but others were a little scary!
Machu Picchu was absolutely breathtaking. Our tour of the ancient city was incredible and extremely detailed, and we learned some amazing facts about the Incas. Hiking Pisaq, another Incan ruin, was also one my favorite experiences. It was also a beautiful area in the Sacred Valley, and the view was amazing.
For me, Peru was my first travelling experience ever. I've never left the East Coast, and to be able to travel to Peru for my first travelling experience is something I am very grateful for. I'm excited to continue travelling and seeing many more
beautiful countries of the world!

Sir Arthur Currie Being Decorated by General Orth
The Film
Running Time
01 min 58 s
Topical Film Company
This sequence shows Lt.-Gen Sir Arthur Currie and other officers being decorated in the field in France. A former schoolteacher and realtor, Currie was assigned command of a brigade of 4000 at the outset of the war. By 1916 he had distinguished himself as one of the best senior Canadian officers, and a year later he was assigned command of the Canadian Corps in France, the first Canadian to hold such a position.
Currie was knighted by King George V in 1917 and received numerous other honours. The film shows him being decorated by Gen. Orth. Historian Patrick H. Brennan speculates that Orth might be an American. The American Expeditionary Force was present in France by 1918. Canadian troops were involved in the initial training of the American units, although this task fell primarily to the French, partly because of the anti-British sentiments of Gen. Pershing and other senior American officers.
A number of other Canadian officers are also visible in the footage. Most cannot be identified, although the commander of the Canadian Corps artillery, Maj.-Gen. E.W. Morrison, a slight man with a white moustache, can be seen in the background at one point. Maj.-Gen. Raymond Brutinel appears shortly later, the first of several officers to step forward and salute. The French-born Brutinel was formerly an officer in the French army and commanded the Canadian Corps machine-gun troops.
We then see scenes of Currie showing French officers around the battlefield. Currie was well respected by his close associates but was considered formal and aloof by many soldiers.
Pieces of History
The Commanders
Patrick H. Brennan
Military Historian
When the Canadian Expeditionary Force began to take shape in the autumn of 1914, the majority of its future commanding officers had been pursuing their business and professional careers only weeks earlier. Even those with some pre-war militia experience were still amateur warriors who would have to learn how to command soldiers while actually fighting a war. Combat would prove a cruel and unforgiving teacher, and the mistakes they made learning how to command would cost men's lives.
Arthur Currie: the first Canadian to command the Canadian Corps
Arthur Currie began the war in command of a brigade of 4000 men. He had earned his appointment on the recommendation of Garnet Hughes, a fellow British Columbia militia officer who happened to be the son of Canada's Minister of Militia and Defence, the erratic, meddling and militarily incompetent Sir Sam Hughes. During the early stages of the war, Hughes personally selected almost every senior officer in the army, and far too many of them were friends and political cronies who proved unfit for their commands and ultimately had to be replaced. Nothing in Currie's background as a school teacher and realtor with a smattering of militia experience made him stand out. Yet he turned out to be a fast learner and superb leader whose military skills quickly blossomed. By 1916 he was recognized as the best of the senior Canadian officers. A year later, he was the obvious choice to be the first Canadian to command the Corps, a responsibility he carried out with distinction through the rest of the war.
As the Canadians desperately struggled to overcome their inexperience, they were fortunate to have the guidance of some very capable British officers such as Lieutenant-General Julian Byng and his chief staff officer, Major-General Percy Radcliffe. First-rate professional soldiers, they identified the most promising Canadian commanders, mentored them, and, when they proved their worth, promoted them to more responsible commands. Consequently, by 1917 the Canadian Corps had assembled a pool of very capable, battle-experienced Canadian commanding officers.
Two of the brigade commanders, Brigadier-Generals James MacBrien and Victor Odlum, were typical of this group. MacBrien was a professional soldier, one of only a handful of such Canadian commanders. After initially serving as a staff officer, Byng gave MacBrien command of the 12th Infantry Brigade in September 1916, just before this untested unit received their first taste of combat.
After serving in the South African War, Odlum had returned to Vancouver where he'd built up a prosperous financial and insurance business. He saw action with the 7th Battalion at Second Ypres, the Canadians' first battle, taking over command of the battalion when Lt. Col. McHarg was killed. Byng promoted him to the command of the 11th Brigade in July 1916 and like MacBrien, he led his brigade until the Armistice. MacBrien's style was studious and reserved, and his forte was training and planning. In contrast, Odlum was a dashing, fearless battlefield commander who had the wounds to prove it. Although they displayed two very different styles of command, both were effective.
Unlike earlier wars, the sheer scale of World War I battles and the breakdown of communications during the fighting actually made it impossible for generals to control the attacks they launched. What they could do, however, was utilize the weeks before an assault to prepare for every possible battlefield contingency – in other words, to emphasize thorough planning and training.
From amateurs to an elite force
By the end of 1916, the British Empire forces were adopting new, more effective fighting tactics. This was particularly true in the Canadian Corps, where Byng, Radcliffe and Currie had inaugurated a highly efficient system of "organized learning." The officers and soldiers doing the fighting now compiled "after battle" reports outlining in detail what had succeeded and what had failed. Whether it was tactics or weaponry, the Corps' commanders placed a premium on figuring out better ways to fight, emphasizing to every officer and soldier how vital absorbing the lessons of the "battlefield classroom" was to the survival and success of them all. Henceforward, something of value learned by one battalion would be speedily adopted by the rest simply by making it part of everyone's training. Lessons now learned in an organized way were applied in an organized way, too. More than any other factor, mastering this "learning curve" was responsible for transforming the Canadian Corps from an enthusiastic mob of amateurs into an elite attack force, the "shock troops" of the British Empire. Officers, and especially senior commanders, had played an indispensable role.
Battalion commanders
One group of commanders shared the dual responsibility of preparing their soldiers and then leading them in battle—the commanding officers of the Corps' 48 infantry battalions. Of the 200-odd men who commanded a Canadian battalion, 22 were killed in action and many more were wounded. Along with the junior officers under them, they were in charge of most of the soldiers' actual training. They also had the critical responsibility of maintaining the health, morale and unit pride of their men, and often organized sports, concerts and other entertainments with this end in mind.
Battalion commanders were the most senior officers their men actually knew and saw regularly, and who shared their daily risks and grim living conditions at the front. As a result, the men looked to them for inspiration and confidence, and a brave and skilful battalion commander could keep his men going under the most appalling conditions. Lieutenant-Colonel Cyrus Peck was one such officer. He'd enlisted in the 16th Battalion in 1914, fought with it at Second Ypres and commanded it from November 1916 until the end of the war. Although the stocky, walrus-moustached Peck was hardly the most military-looking of commanding officers, he was fearless, and none of his soldiers doubted who ran their unit. During the storming of the Drocourt-Quéant Line on September 2, 1918, such leadership won Peck the Victoria Cross. When stiff German resistance blocked his battalion's advance, he exposed himself to heavy artillery and machine-gun fire in order to reconnoitre enemy positions, then re-organized what was left of his men and led them to capture and hold their objective.
Armies are hierarchical organizations, and the quality of command plays an enormous role in their ultimate success. Even the bravest and best-equipped troops will fail in battle if they are asked to execute a flawed plan, or if the officers directing them in the heat of combat make poor decisions. As the war progressed, the best commanders worked their way to the top of the Canadian Corps. Consequently, planning was sound, and Canadian soldiers were prepared for battle using the most effective tactics learned from earlier combat experiences. Once the battle began, brave and skilled leadership by battalion commanders and the junior officers who followed their lead contributed mightily to the chance for victory. By the last two years of the war, the quality of commander in the Canadian Corps was outstanding, as an unbroken string of victories attests.

Other Materials
Sir Arthur William Currie
Currie participated in all major actions of the Canadian forces, including Passchaendale, during the war but is best known for his planning and leadership during the last 100 days, beginning August 8 and lasting until 11 November 1918, perhaps the most successful of all Allied offensives during the war. Criticism of this campaign by Sir Sam Hughes in Parliament resulted in postwar controversy and a libel action in 1928 which completely vindicated Currie.
Fighting off bankruptcy, Currie diverted $11 000 of his regiment's money to cover his personal debts. The affair came to the attention of Prime Minister Borden, who refused to consider court-martialling Canada's best soldier. British wartime Prime Minister Lloyd George called Currie a "brilliant military commander," and might have appointed him commander of all British forces had the war continued.
Currie served as inspector general of the militia forces in Canada 23 August 1919 to 30 July 1920, and in 1920 became principal and vice-chancellor of McGill, a position he held until his death. Without benefit of post-secondary education himself, he was extraordinarily successful as a university administrator at a time of particular importance in McGill's development.

Summary: Students create a local Canadian newspaper set during World War I. To complete this lesson, they must have an understanding of and access to information about the events of the war and life during this period.
There was no radio or television during WWI. Newspapers were the main source of information, reporting on the war and often featuring local people involved in the war effort.
Your Task:
You are going to produce a local Canadian newspaper set during World War I. Ask your teacher: a) how the tasks are to be divided up; b) how many in a group; c) whether each group makes a section of one newspaper or different newspapers; d) how much time you have to do the work.
• Use a real newspaper as a model to see how you should write each section.
• Use the film clips for background information
Sections of a Newspaper and Some Ideas
What did people buy? What did they eat? What did they wear? What did they do for entertainment? Or create recruiting posters.
Battles; new weapons; the Western Front; the home front (especially women working)
The story of a local person involved in WWI.
Poke fun at Germany; criticize war profiteers.
The editor's opinion about war; praise a local Victoria Cross winner.
"Local boy wins Victoria Cross, highest medal"
Who is in for good or bad news.
Fundraising dance for war effort.
Local mother of a war hero.
From soldiers at the front or people who are against war.
Soldier's death.
Usually patriotic.
Encourage people to scrimp and save.
Review of Books
About the war.
Review of Films
There were some silent films at the time.

Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2013
For all the rococo romance associated with Italy—and regularly reflected in many of the collections shown here—it's easy to forget that, relatively speaking, Milan is an industrial-looking environment (made to feel even more so this week thanks to the persistent gray skies). So though it may have been unexpected to see one of the country's most legendary design houses show a sleek, minimalist, and urban collection, as Salvatore Ferragamo did, it shouldn't have been. And there are two reasons for this. One, as mentioned, Milan is a capital-C city with more skyscrapers on the horizon, literally and figuratively. And two, the label's creative director, Massimiliano Giornetti, started with the company as a men's designer. So sharp, unadorned tailoring is as much a part of his personal heritage as Puccini is.
"This is my background," the designer said backstage, commenting on the menswear influences in his collection. Giornetti's confident and elated mood indicated, quite rightly, that he's found his sweet spot: creating reductive and no-nonsense clothes. Take for instance, a crisp white coat with a covered placket, compact pointed collar, and simple strip of fabric tied around the waist. Its cleanliness made you remember just how well-constructed these pieces are. As did a perfectly cut, double-breasted black trench with a panel of navy pony hair. Which is not to say these clothes weren't any fun. That beaded fringed black short skirt—paired with a chunky turtleneck—has places to go.
But what Giornetti's austerity accomplished most importantly was allowing the accessories to shine. After all, that's where this house got its start and its minimalist bags—square camera shapes with metal-topped straps and understated satchels with crossover handles—were some of the strongest of the season. And, again, their execution reminded you what an atelier in business for more than 80 years is capable of.
In the end, Giornetti put it best: "It's a moment when it's truly important to focus on the accessories and making the ready-to-wear extremely wearable."

Every brainstorm should have a large stack of paper and pens because one of the best ways to communicate your ideas in a Brainstorm is to be visual. Draw it, act it out, or make a little model out of pencils and rubber bands.
The more visual you can make your idea, the better you will be able to communicate it to the group, and the quicker they will be able to understand and build on it.
Another part of being visual is that all the ideas should be written where everyone can see them. A whiteboard or big sheet of paper works well for this. Write big so everyone can read the ideas. At the end of the brainstorm, you can have everyone use Post-its or colored markers to vote for their favorite ideas.

HOUSTON - Deputies are searching for a man who attacked a woman at a bus stop, and then robbed and sexually assaulted her.
According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the woman was waiting at a bus stop near the 14000 block of Ella Boulevard on Sept. 19 at 6 a.m. when she was approached by a man.17116002
She told investigators that the suspect drew a gun and took her purse before he demanded the PIN numbers to her debit cards. She said the suspect then led her to a nearby bayou where he demanded she take off her clothes, and he sexually assaulted her.
This case is especially alarming because in this case, the woman tried to cooperate," said Katherine Cabaniss with Crime Stoppers.
The victim told investigators that she tried to take the attacker's gun during the sex assault, which prompted a brief struggle that led her escape.
Deputies said surveillance cameras captured the suspect using the victim's stolen credit card at a convenience store a short time later.
"This is a predator who did not hesitate to victimize this woman in a relatively public area when daylight was very, very near," Cabaniss said.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/2/2014 (1275 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The recent election of Terry Nelson to the leadership of the Southern Chiefs Organization seems obviously intended to push the establishment of urban reserves, regarded as a key driver to economic development. The SCO's plans are ambitious, and a close look at the hurdles involved in the land-conversion process would make most people throw in their cards. Hence, the selection of a man with a track record of dogged determination.
Most of the steps are to address the concerns of people who may fear waking up next to an urban reserve someday.
The first step is for an eligible First Nation (EFN) to acquire the land, which is not as simple as buying some vacant urban lot to develop. The purchase is governed by "willing buyer/willing seller" provisions, assessing fair market value and arbitration mechanisms, if necessary. There are third-party interests to keep track of, municipal-development service agreements to be negotiated and a dispute-resolution mechanism to be established. Most of this requires bringing three levels of government to work together quickly and co-operatively, usually the most difficult step of all.
Assuming the EFN has chosen land within a municipal boundary, immediate efforts must be made to develop and nurture a "good neighbour" relationship, to stress to the municipality the importance of learning aboriginal ways, outline what will be required by both parties and identify the resources that are available to both parties for support.
Then both parties have to figure out what the municipality will lose in taxes and arrange compensation for that. The EFN is obligated to pay those taxes until negotiations are complete. An environmental assessment and land survey must be done.
There are a lot of players involved in these deals, and each one must be clear what they are supposed to do and then they must do that. In Manitoba, the key parties are the governments of Canada and Manitoba, the EFN, affected municipalities, the Treaty Land Entitlement Committee and third-party interests. There are orders-in-council and ministerial approvals that have to be obtained all along the way.
The entire process can take a long time and is in constant danger of breaking down and having to start all over again in the same or a different location.
Nelson was able to speed up the process for Roseau River Anicinabe First Nation when he was chief there. And it wasn't necessarily because of a railway blockade -- Nelson was able to figure out which of the players was most suited to expedite the various tasks and he convinced the parties to do just that.
So the Red Sun Gas Bar, smoke shop, convenience store and VLT lounge out on Highway 6 at the Perimeter seemed to go up overnight. There are plans for a hotel, a car dealership, a pharmacy and other amenities First Nations people need on the busy road they use to travel back and forth between Winnipeg and northern Manitoba.
Long Plain First Nation has some exciting plans for its urban reserve on Madison Avenue. Capital investment is tight, so the SCO is sponsoring a conference in Winnipeg near the end of this month to bring in business leaders from Westbank First Nation in B.C. who have a successful track record in developing urban reserves to show investors the way.
The SCO has a comprehensive plan for the development of four urban reserves in or near Winnipeg that would generate $40 million in annual revenues with projected annual allotments to a community-development account worth $73 million in the first 25 years and a projected increase in value of the trust properties of $30 million. Grand Chief Nelson has a detailed business plan that should allay fears people may have about whether urban reserves will provide the benefits that First Nations leaders claim they will.
The seven First Nations that are located closest to Winnipeg want to get four urban reserves up and going as soon as possible. Nelson estimates each urban reserve will generate $40 million in economic activity annually.
With this kind of money in play, perhaps Nelson was right when he said, "We don't need the white man's money. We just need to develop the economic potential of our own First Nations."
Don Marks is the editor of Grassroots News.

COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- An Oakland County woman says she sneaks out of her house early in the morning to avoid a stalker -- a 25-pound turkey willing to bump, scratch and harass her.
Edna Geisler calls the foul bird "Godzilla." The 69-year-old tells the Detroit Free Press (http://on.freep.com/xzbbJI) that the turkey wanders into her Commerce Township property each day from nearby woods. She says she recently couldn't get to her front door after a trip to the grocery store.
A video posted on the Free Press website shows Godzilla roaming the property like it's his own. State wildlife expert Tim Payne says adult turkeys are known to aggressively defend their territory.
Payne suggests Geisler open a large umbrella to drive the turkey back to the woods.

We have a pretty good chance for a White Christmas around much of Metro Detroit as we watch some light snow heading our way Monday afternoon and evening.
The snow will start in our southern counties first and will last for several hours. So expect light to moderate snow between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. with an inch possible.
Some areas may see a bit more than that, while others north of M59 will see little to no snow. Before the snow arrives Monday, high temps will reach mid to upper 30s.
Christmas Day looks quiet with mid to upper 30s and a few flurries. But Wednesday, another winter storm will head right for us. This one may be more impactful because we will see more snow from it and more families will be out on the roads. A bit early to tell, but it looks like we could see at least 2-3" of snow Wednesday.
Stay tuned as this snow maker evolves out west because we could see more than that.
Stay ahead of the storms with radar, travel, and forecast information at justweather.com.

Butternut squash soup shows up on restaurant specials menus from now through Thanksgiving, and rightly so: it is special. Butternut squash is in season right now, and when roasted, the flesh softens and the flavor deepens, making it ready to be pureed into creamy fall soup.
But while butternut squash soup is special, it's not especially difficult to make at home. It takes a little bit of patience (you'll have to wait about a half-hour for the squash to roast) but once the squash is cooked, you just need to simmer with some liquid, season and puree. If you have a hand blender, the process is even easier — a hand blender allows you to blend soup right in the pot — but if you don't, you can use a regular blender. Be sure to puree the soup in batches; if you over-fill the blender you could end up with a mess. (Think soup volcano.)
Serve the creamy soup on its own or garnish with toasted pepitas, dried apples or cranberries, or if you want to get really fancy, float a cheesy crostini on top.
Alton Brown's Squash Soup
Serves: 4
6 cups (about 2 large squash) seeded 2-inch wide chunks butternut squash
Melted butter, for brushing
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, plus 1/2 teaspoon
3 vegetable stock
4 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon minced ginger
4 ounces heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Brush the flesh of the squash with a little butter and season with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper. On a sheet pan lay the squash flesh side up. Roast for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the flesh is nice and soft.
Scoop the flesh from the skin into a pot and add the stock, honey, and ginger. Bring to a simmer and puree using a stick blender. Stir in the heavy cream and return to a low simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Epica Interview by: AphroditesChild & the 2006 Ozzfest board members
1). RMS writes: How is it playing with such greats as Mercenary, Evergrey, Freak Kitchen and Jorn?
Mark: Very nice, because sooner or later you want to see all these bands live and if you play together you can see them for free
Ad: I really liked the performance of Jorn: great band, great singer. The perfect headliner for the festival in my opinion!
2). AC writes: You are a band that lives up to its name Epica. Your sound is classic yet powerful, progressive, and commanding. Do any/all of you have classical training?
Mark: none of us, Coen is studying at the conservatory but the pop direction. Simone took some classical singing lessons. All the rest are self taught.
3). Jimbob writes: Who were Simones influences as a frontwoman?
Simone: The reason I started with singing was because I liked Nightwish, so I would have to say Tarja Turunen.
4). Mark you did a fucking excellent job covering Death's Crystal Mountain! What are your main vocal influences.
Mark: Its not a surprise that I mention Chuck now ;-) but also Jan Chris de Koeijer (Gorefest) and Max Cavalera have influenced me.
5). Jimbob writes: I thought I heard some black metal screams in between some growls, can you elaborate?
Mark: Thats right I like to combine both worlds, death and black metal influences. During my days with After Forever I only did the screams but within Epica nobody else wanted to do the grunts so I had to do it myself ;-)
6). Stratogammaween writes: After 2005 Release of "The Score - An Epic Journey".... and it having been gratefully received by fans, are any plans for another "score" album?
Mark: Perhaps but first we want to release a normal band album
theshredder85 Asks the following:
7). "How do the American crowds differ from those overseas?"
Mark: They differ in weight ;-) I dont think the crowds differ that much. It depends also of the region in Europe. In Spain the crowd is different from the crowd in Germany. I dont think its possible to name any differences. For sure both crowds are enthusiastic
8. What songs do you enjoy playing live?
Mark: Consign to Oblivion, Seif al Din, Façade of Reality, Mother of Light, the Phantom Agony, Cry for the Moon. The heavy songs.
Ad: Amen!
9). Which do you like to play more, Festivals or Tours?
Mark: After some tours Im dying for the festival season and after the festival season I cant wait for the club shows.
Ad: They both have their good and bad things, its is so overwhelming to play in front of a big crowd, but on the other hand its also nice to be a bit closer to the audience. Like I said, they both have their good and bad things.
10). How did you come up with the idea of doing the song "Memory" from the musical "Cats"?
Mark: I heard Simone singing that song for her singing lessons. I loved it right away. Her voice fits perfectly to that song. Even better than most of our own ballads.
11). Any chance we can see a U.S. headlining tour in the future?
Mark: We hope so, the plan is to release a new CD in the beginning of next year and afterwards we want to do a world tour, so also USA and Canada.
12). Are their any bands you would like to tour with?
Mark: I would still like to tour with Nightwish, I think its a great package.
Ad: Also Withing Temptation or After Forever would be cool I think.
13). The orchestra parts in your songs are really good. Who composes them?
Mark: Thanks J Mainly Yves, Coen and I. In the studio we finalize the details with Miro.
14). How do you decide on what Simone sings and what Mark sings?
Mark: The brutal parts are for me and the melodic parts for Simone. If we cant decide (like Quietus) we make two versions ;-)
15). Do you try to meet fans at all your shows?
Mark: Yes, its very important for us to stay in touch with our fans and meet them after the show.
Ad: Of course, its always nice to meet fans and hear their feedback about the shows.
AphroditesChild Asked the following:
16). Do you have any wild stories of things that have happened while on tour?
Mark: haha every tour some wild or funny things happen. I will tell about a funny thing: when we played in Brasil a girl was hanging at the window of our car and didnt want to let go. She was throwing presents inside of the car and screaming to us to let her in. It happened while the car was driving. In Brasil the fans are really crazy, but we love them.
Ad: I once had to ran through the streets with only my boxers because the rest of the band was chasing me to rip them off haha. I almost made it (only had to do the last 50 metres without;-)
17). What are some of your hobbies and other interests?
Mark: My hobbies besides music are cycling, tennis, fitness and swimming. I also love to walk in nature.
Ad: I like to go running once in a while.
18. Is there a band or person that you admire or emulate and who is that band or person?
Ad: People that I admire: Hans Zimmer, Martin Gore, Jason Becker, Virgil Donati, wow to many to list up here.
19).What made you decide to make music a career?
Ad: My mom and neighbor played the guitar already and also a lot of my friends started playing guitar so I kind of rolled into it
20). What is behind to name of your band?
Ad: When we entered the studio to record TPA we still didnt have a band name. We saw Kamelots latest album lying around which was entitled Epica. We all thought it was a cool name and when we found out that the meaning of it fitted some of our lyrics very well we went for it. In the beginning Kamelot wasnt to happy about this, probably because they were afraid it would be bad publicity for their album haha. Be so far we did 2 tours with them and they see it also has a positive side;-)
21. What was the most embarrassing moment that happened onstage?
Ad: We once played on a festival in Poland when my wireless system for my guitar went down so I had to play with a cable. But the stage was so big, I didnt even make it halfway up the drum riser. I felt so bad, but luckily I can laugh about it now:-)
22. There are some bands that do some autograph signings and acoustic
sets in music stores have you ever considered doing that?
Ad: We already did that a couple of times which was very fun to do and Im sure we are going to do it again.
Thanks for the interview everyone and keep up the the awesome work!!

"I am so happy with my invitations. The quality of the paper is great...weighty and perfectly textured. The design is so elegant. The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"Absolutely beautiful. It was really easy to customize the wedding invite. My designer did a great job of brining my ideas to life. I really wanted to be able to include our parents in the invite and the designer came up with a great solution and moved a few things around. The invite is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much!"
"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and they came our gorgeous! I loved the design and the color options they offered. I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations! My order also arrived earlier than expected."
"Beautiful cards. I got them printed on the shimmer paper and put them into laser cut envelopes I got from another source. So elegant and clean. Staff is AMAZING. Very kind and attentive, everytime I called them, they were very helpful and patient. My invitations arrived 1 week before scheduled delivery. Fast service! For canadian customers, please remember you will be charged the current exchange rate and duties via UPS (a few little surprises I forgot about when paying)!"
"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"

A DARWEN man who was due to run the New York Marathon this month says his heart goes out to the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
And despite the race being cancelled, Neil Pilkington, 48, will carry on raising funds for his chosen charity.
The father of Norwich City player Anthony Pilkington was due to go to New York with his friend and Darwen Dashers runner Russell Egan.
The race had been due to start in Staten Island, the hardest-hit part of the city, where 19 people died as a result of the storm.
Neil said: "If the marathon had gone ahead it wouldn't have been right. We were offered flights to Canada but it wouldn't have been feasible. This was before we knew the race was cancelled."
The pair were due to travel to New York to celebrate Russell's 50th birthday as well as raising thousands of pounds for sick children.
Their fundraising efforts for the When You Wish Upon a Star foundation will continue as they hope to run in the Paris Marathon next April.
Neil, who lives in Jacks Key Drive with his wife Sandra, said both Anthony, 24, and his younger son Daniel, 22, who plays for Kidderminster Harriers, had been really supportive and were helping out with extra fundraising for the organisation.
