Fragrance trends can be hard to nail down, as fragrance can be such a subjective subject. "Above all, people want something that smells good. People respond to what they associate the fragrance with, and not necessarily the exact scent of something at all," says Jill Costa, chief perfumer with Bell Flavors & Fragrances. However, there are trends that do stand out in both fine fragrance and fragrance for body and cosmetic products.
"The one trend we do see a lot of right now is still the sweet, gourmand, fruity fragrances," says Costa. "It has been going on for awhile, but there's a lot more of it—really pretty floral-type notes, or a chypre note that isn't at all floral but based on something more woody or another type of character. There are also some throwback notes in the scents, but by and large, things are very 'what they are,' whether they are very marine, very floral, very woody ... it's still pretty, but it also makes a strong statement."
Kellie Como, vice president of fragrance and product development, Inter Parfums Inc., explains the trends she's seeing. "There has been a chypre trend happening in the past six years, but now I think we're seeing more of a softening effect in fragrances, scents that are rounder and more comfort-driven," she says.
Wendy Patel, senior evaluator with Firmenich, comments, "We see a lot of creamy vanilla and oriental type fragrances with fresh fruity top notes. The fruit notes help offer an easy point of entry to fragrances, and the vanilla is offering some warmth and comfort. Also, woody scents are growing, which is something we'd seen in Europe over the past few years that is finally coming more stateside."

####Adrienne Vittadini Adrienne Vittadini, who launched her design house in 1979, changed the face of American women's fashion. The evidence? According to the [_New York Times_](http://www.nytimes.com/1988/07/19/style/adrienne-vittadini-from-sweaters-to-an-empire.html), Vittadini was the first to pair flower-patterned sweaters with cotton skirts printed with matching florals—and make it affordable. Her brand has since expanded to add what she refers to as "lightness and a sense of humor" to swimwear, handbags, and accessories. Vittadini's aesthetic, like a pirate fluent in French, seeks to infuse life with adventure and romance; she wants "to create excitement. Clothes have to say, 'Take me away!'"
These socks utter this same message with their vibrant hues, soft textures, and whimsical patterns. Choose crew or knee-high socks to complete casual looks, or slip on trouser socks before shuffling off to the office. #####Features * Socks by Adrienne Vittadini, the proud owner of two feet * Soft, comfortable fabrics woven with spandex for extra stretch * Multiple colors and patterns available * Trouser socks: 90% nylon, 10% spandex * Crew and knee-high socks: 74% rayon, 23% polyester, 3% spandex * Sock size 9–11; fits shoe sizes 5–10

I've been trying to keep an open mind about this market for several days now. That's despite the fact that yellow flags have been out there for a while, namely in the form of multiple higher-volume declines in the major averages since the middle of March.
But Tuesday's market decline was different from others before it. Major averages got hit with the most significant day of institutional selling we've seen since the start of the uptrend in December. The difference this time was that technical damage was widespread, with several market-leading growth stock taking hits in heavy volume. Price action like this is often seen ahead of a consolidation phase for the market.
The message I got from Tuesday's downdraft is that the selling will most likely need more time to run its course. Growth stocks can't run up forever, and I believe many high-quality names are in the early stages of consolidating recent gains and forming new bases. A good base -- in which a stock digests recent gains -- generally takes at least five weeks to form. The worst thing that could happen to this market would be for it to digest gains for only one week and then start heading higher again. But I don't see this happening.
On Tuesday the S&P 500 dove 1.7% to 1358 and took out its 50-day simple moving average at 1372. Like the other major averages, it made no effort to rally whatsoever. Volume on the NYSE rose to around 900 million shares, well above Monday's level of just over 700 million. It was the heaviest volume on a S&P 500 down day since Feb. 29.
The Nasdaq Composite, meanwhile, held above its 50-day simple moving average Tuesday, but not by much. The tech-heavy index closed at 2991, down 1.8% and just above support at 2988. Volume on the Nasdaq came in at just over 1.9 billion shares, well above Monday's level of nearly 1.3 billion.
Market bulls can still hang their hat on the fact that the Nasdaq 100 is still holding above its 50-day simple moving average at 2643. The index closed Tuesday at 2695, down 1.6%. Sellers finally came into Nasdaq 100 component Priceline (PCLN), which lost 3.1% to $741.26 in heavy volume. It's still holding above key support levels, but another Nasdaq 100 firm wasn't so lucky. Former market leader Fastenal (FAST) plunged below its 50-day moving average, falling 5.2% in huge volume ahead of its scheduled earnings report on Thursday.
Other market leaders, such as United Rentals (URI), Transdigm Group (TDG), W.R. Grace (GRA) and Solarwinds (SWI), gave up their 50-day lines in fast turnover Tuesday.
I started taking profits in my Ultimate Growth Stocks model portfolio last week. On Tuesday, I closed my position in Trimble Navigation (TRMB) at breakeven because of its weak price action. I also took profits recently in Salesforce (CRM), BE Aerospace (BEAV) and Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD). I don't regret the decision, because growth names such as these are vulnerable in a market that's under distribution, and that's the situation we're seeing now.
Managing risk-reward levels is a key part of my investing strategy. It has to be, because I generally target fast-moving stocks -- names that can outperform materially in up markets and underperform materially in down markets.
The market risk currently outweighs the reward, so it wasn't a hard decision to start moving to cash. I am still long some names, but my portfolio is only about 30% invested at this point, which is fine. I'm perfectly content to sit out the selling. I still own some names whose uptrends remain intact. If the market starts heading higher sooner than I expect, I can add to these names where I see fit.

P-51D Aircraft Tells a Story
Today, I attended the Pima Air & Space Museum with a Boy Scout troop. It was amazing to see just how many planes they had. If each aircraft could speak, it could tell its own story of the places it flew, the battles it fought, the people that piloted (or navigated, gunned, maintained, etc.).
There was a P-51D that was particularly interesting. On its side was recorded the planes that it had downed:
Besides the 7 German & 1 Japanese aircraft there was a symbol that I didn't recognize (#6) and a U.S. flag:

Tommy was just 14 months old. He caught a bad cold from one of the children in the playgroup. He had a fever and runny nose. He was taking a nap when I heard this strange banging sound. I ran into his room, and his whole body was stiff and shaking. The whole thing probably lasted less than 5 minutes. They were the longest 5 minutes of my life. He has never had another one, and doesn't need any seizure medication.
2017 Revised Classification of Seizures
The International League against Epilepsy (ILAE) is the world's main scientific body devoted to the study of epilepsy, and it has recently revised its classification of seizures. The changes will help make diagnosing and classifying seizures more accurate and easier. In this article, you'll find the new general outline and basic seizure classification. In the coming weeks, epilepsy.com will be updated to reflect the new classification to help users searching for both the older and newer terms.
- Children aged 3 months to 6 years may have tonic-clonic seizures when they have a high fever.
- More likely to occur if there is a family history of febrile seizures.
- Most children do not require daily treatment with medication.
- Among children who have their first febrile seizure before their first birthday, half will have at least one more.
- Long-term outlook is excellent.
Who gets febrile seizures?
Children aged 3 months to 5 or 6 years may have tonic-clonic seizures when they have a high fever. These are called febrile seizures (pronounced FEB-rile) and occur in 2% to 5% of all children. There is a slight tendency for them to run in families. If a child's parents, brothers or sisters, or other close relatives have had febrile seizures, the child is a bit more likely to have them.
Sometimes the seizure comes "out of the blue." A fever may begin silently in a previously healthy child and a seizure can be the first sign that alerts the family that the child is ill.
How are febrile seizures treated?
- Febrile seizures cannot be prevented by giving the child lukewarm baths, applying cool cloths to the child's head or body, or using fever-reducing medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). Doing these things may make a feverish child feel better, but they do not prevent febrile seizures.
- During a seizure, place the child on his or her side on a protected surface and observe carefully. Keep track of the time, and if the seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, call 911 or take the child to an emergency facility if you can do so safely.
- Most children who have febrile seizures do not require daily treatment with seizure medicines. Some children who have repeated episodes of multiple febrile seizures are treated with phenobarbital, Depakote (valproate) or another seizure medicine, which reduces the risk of having more seizures.
- Children who have had unusually long febrile seizures and children who live in a remote area with poor access to medical care also may be considered for treatment.
- Rarely some children with prolonged febrile seizures or frequent episodes of febrile seizures are treated prophylactically with phenobarbital.
- Other medications can be given at the time of a febrile seizure.
- Diastat (diazepam) gel or liquid diazepam can be given by rectum.
- Klonopin (clonazepam) wafers can be placed on the tongue or a tablet form of diazepam or lorazepam can be crushed and put between the cheek and the gum.
- Giving the child diazepam/Valium when illness or fever begins can reduce the risk of recurring febrile seizures. To prevent one febrile seizure in this way, however, 14 other children who were never destined to have another febrile seizure will also be treated! Thirty percent of children treated with Valium have troublesome side effects such as sleepiness, irritability, and poor coordination that may last for several days.
What's the outlook?
Among children who have their first febrile seizure before their first birthday, half will have at least one more. Among children who are older than 1 year when the first seizure occurs, about 1 in 4 will have more.
The long-term outlook is excellent, however. The vast majority of children with febrile seizures do not have seizures without fever after age 5.
Risk factors for later epilepsy include:
- Abnormal development before the febrile seizure.
- Complex febrile seizures: These are defined as seizures that last longer than 15 minutes, more than one seizure in 24 hours, or seizures in which only one side of the body is affected.
- Seizures without fever in a parent or a brother or sister.
If the child has none of these risk factors, the chances of later epilepsy are just about the same as for any other child.
Children with one of these risk factors, have a 2.5% (1 in 40) chance of later epilepsy.
Those with two or three risk factors, have a risk of later epilepsy that ranges from 5% (1 in 20) to over 10%.
In rare cases, febrile seizures that last more than 30 minutes may cause scar tissue in the temporal lobe of the brain. In some of these patients, chronic epilepsy develops, which often can be effectively treated.

Visitors' Reviews & Comments
Tony R. (February 2016)
Hi Raj, arriving in late March, staying Monday thru Friday, know the bus schedules well but wondering if the bus driver will take us if we have backpacks that may be bulky. Also would you know the price between the airport and Hamilton terminal. If we buy a three day pass Monday afternoon would the pass be good till Thursday? Thank you for your help. Wonderful site.
Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) February 2016
Quite unlikely that bus drivers will allow bulky backpacks. 14-zone bus fare is applicable between Airport and Hamilton (small taxi fare will be around $43). Your 3-day pass will expire on Wednesday midnight if you start using it from Monday... a day here is not counted as 24 hours.
Karola Rondinella (June 2015)
Arriving 6 people Sunday July 12 2015 how much would a taxi charge from the airport to the Fairmont Southampton. I saw that there is a surcharge on Sundays. Also how much would CEO transport shared shuttle charge. Thank you for all the information.
Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) June 2015
Hi, normal fare for a 7 passenger taxi between airport and Fairmont Southampton would be about $58 plus 15% tips (add 50% surcharge for Sunday). One-way CEO shuttle fare to the hotel is $15 per person.
Andrea (February 2015)
Hi, I have really been enjoying all of the information on your website. We will be in Bermuda next Saturday. Do you have any idea approximately how much a taxi would charge for a ride from the airport to Sandy's Parish? I have been contacting airport shuttle services and the cheapest I have been quoted is $60. Would this be more or less than a taxi? Thanks
Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) February 2015
Hi, taxi fare will depend on your exact location in Sandys. For example, airport to Somerset or Cambridge Beaches Resort would be about $70 without tips, all the way up to the dockyard will be around $75 without tips.
Bob Wenz (May 2012)
It's very easy to understand why bus passes are no longer available at the airport. By doing so the tourist bureau has helped to support the more costly taxi service. This is no longer the tourist friendly island that I remember for the past 35 years.
Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) May 2012
Hello Bob, Understand your view. I too am surprised that such service has been withdrawn. The buses continue to operate to and from the airport though, and one can always avail a bus from the airport by paying the fare in cash, and later buy a pass from some other place. Probably the government is discouraging the tourists to take a bus on arrival at the airport because one can't carry luggage in the buses anyway. Passengers arriving by flight are likely to have suitcases and large bags, which are not allowed in the public buses.

COPPERAS COVE — The City Council Tuesday amended an animal control ordinance — attempting to stop trap, neuter and release programs for feral cats in the city, despite several residents' outcries.
The ordinance stated no feral cat shall be released within the city limits and that it is unlawful for any person to feed feral cats within the city limits. Those who violate the ordinance can be fined not more than $200.
Definitions for feral and domestic cats also were created in the new ordinance.
A feral cat is a feline that is wild, untamed or unsocialized, the ordinance stated. A domestic cat is determined because it does not show long-term fear and resistance to contact with humans.
"Do you want (the cats) to pack up and leave, because they are not," Cove resident Elke Friedlein said to the council Tuesday. "Go after the problem in the first place ... not the people trying to help the problem."
Friedlein was one of nine residents who spoke against the ordinance and one of about 30 who were present to see if the council would approve it.
The ordinance prohibits Cove residents like William Lepisto from operating cat colonies. Lepisto, who also spoke Tuesday, said he has caught and spayed at least 70 cats since 2011.
"You are now making criminals of my neighbors who are trying to show a little compassion," Cove resident Brian Heitman said.
These are all residents trying to fix a problem that the city can't and won't fix — the growing cat population in cat colonies, Cove resident David Moore said. All sorts of animals are dumped by residents who don't care about their pets, and the few residents who are paying out of their own pockets and not wasting tax dollars can now be punished.
The council's decision to institute the ordinance comes after years of debate among the Animal Advisory Committee. Several committee members were trying to regulate cat colonies so the city had input into how they are managed. Other members of the committee, however, feel that maintaining cat colonies is a health risk.
In December, the two differing factions on the committee were told to come to a compromise and draft an ordinance. A compromise was not found.
A Kempner resident, Kathy Kwieran, who operates a low-cost spay and neuter clinic in Killeen, has already started a petition to reverse the ordinance. She has collected more than 100 Copperas Cove residents' signatures already.

BAYOU CORNE — Another round of elevated tremor levels halted work Monday at the surface of the Assumption Parish sinkhole at least until Tuesday morning, parish officials said.
Seismic monitoring again detected an increase in the number of "very long period" events, parish officials said Monday. The tremors are linked to gas or fluid movement under the more than 13-acre sinkhole between the Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou communities.
The sinkhole is believed to have been caused by the failure of a Texas Brine Co. LLC salt dome cavern last year. About 350 residents have been under evacuation orders for nearly eight months.
Experts also suspect that the failure caused the release of oil and gas from deep underground toward shallower subsurface depths, as well as to the surface.
John Boudreaux, director of the parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, said he was working on the sinkhole Monday morning and saw on its north side water movement known to indicate the tremors.
A later check of seismic monitors by experts working for the state Office of Conservation found the tremors were increasing, leading to the halt in work at about 11:30 a.m., Boudreaux said.
A previous round of tremors late last week led to work on the sinkhole being halted for a day, Boudreaux said.
The tremors sometimes have been followed by the edges of the sinkhole collapsing and burps of gas, crude oil and debris.
Since mid-March, the tremors have been cycling up and down at a quicker pace than months ago. Conservation officials have attributed the change in pace to the cavern getting close to being filled with rock from outside the salt dome.
Conservation officials said in a statement Monday the tremors are located, as in past weeks, under the sinkhole and near the failed Texas Brine cavern.
Another, nearby Texas Brine cavern, for which structural concerns have recently been raised, continues to show no sign of being affected by the tremors, Conservation officials said.
Officials said the area is under constant monitoring.

"Established in 1867 by its first resident, Juan Guitterez, the town was known for a time as "El Valle del Guitterez" because Mr. Guitterez grazed his cattle in the valley. Just to the west of the Guitterez ranch lived a fairly well known homesteader named James Stoner. Because of a rock formation on Mr. Stoner's place, the region gradually became known as Stoner's Wall. When the settlement grew large enough to need its own post office in 1878 the name became Stonewall."

Dec 3, 2012While this collection obviously isn't the best place for newcomers to cut their teeth, From the Vaults, Vol. 1 is a collection that will give longtime fans a taste of what could have been in some kind of alternate time line, making the album essential listening for Kylesa diehards.
Nov 30, 2012The dozen takes are every bit as crafted as those on Kylesa's increasingly excellent five studio albums, with tones both enormous and exploratory and vocals both large and enthusiastic.
Nov 20, 2012From the Vaults is a collection of b-sides presented and packaged as a full-blown studio release, and it's worth the effort.
Nov 20, 2012This is a rarities comp, so the duds are forgivable. The remainder is a tight package of nine unreleased tracks.

It has takenKylesa mixes in the right amount of sludge, death, and post punk to produce a unique blend of metal that only Kylesa can make. It has taken them more than a few albums to get it right, and with their two most recent albums one can only guess how epic the next one will be. If this is a "tie over" for hardcore fans, it's a very good one. The mere mention of "vaults" can instantly lead one to imagine garagey recordings on a battered 8 track with some happy accidents occuring in between songs. This album DOES NOT sound anything like a cash grab or something only ardent fans could love. It sounds like a real album, and everything stands out uniquely. With a chick singer/guitarist and two simultaneous drummers, Kylesa is already outside the norm of most metal bands. This mix-tape of covers and old stuff establishes them as true heavyweights alongside the likes of Mastodon and Baroness. But if this album is a sign of things to come, Kylesa will be keeping things dark and heavy.… Full Review »

With all the heated discussions going on in Washington, the media has coined the looming fiscal crisis our nation faces as a "Fiscal Cliff." Now when I think about the word cliff, I conjure up images of daredevil base jumpers leaping out over a cliff and at the last second throwing a parachute open and floating safely back to Earth. Unfortunately we are not facing a cliff, where we will see anything go down if we go over that cliff. If you actually look at a chart showing the current proposals being offered in Washington we are facing a fiscal ramp-up in spending, and in no way in either the short- or long-term can we match revenues to projected spending.
Stop calling it a fiscal cliff, and call it what it is … a ramp up in both taxes and spending. See the chart below developed by House Budget Committee, Congressional Budget Office and Office of Management and Budget of the White House.

EMERYVILLE, Calif., July 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Chiron Corporation and Sagres Discovery announced today Chiron has acquired Sagres. Sagres, a privately held company headquartered in Davis, Calif., focuses on the discovery and validation of targets with potential application to the development of cancer therapeutics. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
"This is a unique opportunity to advance our goal of building a competitive, balanced pipeline for Chiron," said Kenneth Bair, senior vice president and head of research, Chiron BioPharmaceuticals. "Sagres has a wealth of in vivo validated targets, including kinases and antibodies, that will increase both the quantity and quality of targets available to us for development. With the wealth of targets from Sagres, we expect to be able to maximize the value of our collaboration with Xoma Ltd. and our small molecule drug discovery program for the development and commercialization of new drugs for the treatment of cancer."
"We are delighted to have the technology and drug targets our team has developed over the last several years joined with the resources and talents of Chiron," said Dr. Ali Fattaey, chief scientific officer, Sagres Discovery. "The incredible amount of novel discoveries generated from the Oncogenome(TM) has been changing the way we view gene function and cooperation in cancer development, and is refining how we select targets for cancer drug discovery and development. With Chiron, these discoveries now have a fantastic opportunity to be translated into novel drug candidates, and in time, actual drugs that will benefit cancer patients."
Sagres Discovery technology has created the Oncogenome(TM), a comprehensive assembly of genes that cause cancer. The technology combines gene isolation and in vivo biological validation into one high-throughput process. Through molecular profiling of human disease tissues, clinical relevance is established concurrently with gene discovery and validation. This technology is able to discriminate between those few genetic factors that cause disease (oncogenes and tumor suppressors) and the confounding factors that respond to disease processes. Only genes that cause the cancer phenotype are recovered and downstream effects are specifically excluded.
As a result, the Sagres Discovery approach eliminates significant time- and resource-intensive secondary screening required by most other approaches. This allows Sagres Discovery to advance targets into discovery sooner and with more confidence.

Through its global Blood Testing, Vaccines and BioPharmaceuticals businesses, Chiron Corporation addresses human suffering with more than 50 diverse products to detect, prevent and treat disease worldwide. The company's consistent success has come from its pioneering science, skill in delivering innovations in biotechnology and disciplined business approach. Chiron believes that science has the power to improve people's lives and harnesses that power to transform public health.
This year, Chiron Vaccines celebrates 100 years of advancing medicine with the anniversary of two founding companies. In 1904, Emil von Behring and Achille Sclavo independently started companies in Germany and Italy, respectively, dedicated to the research, development and manufacture of vaccines to protect humanity from infectious disease. As the fifth-largest vaccine manufacturer in the world, Chiron remains dedicated to the legacies of von Behring and Sclavo to prevent disease and develop new vaccines to improve human health globally.
About Sagres Discovery
Sagres is a discovery stage company dedicated to understanding the molecular basis of cancer. Sagres Discovery's technology platform combines the biology of cancer formation in mouse models with the robustness of high-throughput genomic technologies to enable discovery and clinical validation of human cancer genes at unprecedented speed. The company is assembling the Oncogenome(TM), one of the most comprehensive sets of oncology targets in the world, from a very large collection of cryopreserved retroviral-induced mouse tumors. Of equal importance, the technology allows for the discrimination between genes that cause disease and those that affect or respond to disease processes. Sagres is focused on the discovery and development of drug candidates directed at novel oncogene targets discovered through its technology. In addition to its own internal drug discovery program, the company is building its initial product pipeline by selectively using strategic partnerships and collaborations including a collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim announced in January 2003. Sagres is headquartered in Davis, California.

Former MasterChef contestant Hayden Quinn was last night announced as CLEO Bachelor of the Year as TV Reality hunks dominated the event.
He won $10,000 cash in a battle that attracted 1.9 million votes.
CLEO editor Gemma Crisp presented Quinn with his award at a cocktail party at The Star casino's Marquee nightclub.
X Factor and Dancing with the Stars competitor Johnny Ruffo came second and Celebrity Apprentice and Amazing Race Australia contestant Nathan Jolliffe was third.
All three men have declared themselves single.
"It's a great honour to be selected from such an amazing group of guys," Quinn told Manly Daily.
When asked why he thought people had voted for him, he said:
"That's probably the hardest question tonight … I'm just a normal guy from the northern beaches and I think people like that.
"I'm an everyday sort of guy that you can have a beer with at the pub. That's me."
The event was hosted by Jesinta Campbell and former CLEO bachelor Jules Lund.
Singer Ricki-Lee Coulter, Ruby Rose, Brian McFadden and Vogue Williams were also in attendance.

Miley Cyrus is cuckoo for Jesus Puffs
Miley Cyrus dedicated the latest episode of The Miley and Mandy Show to Jesus. Apparently the show is unleashed on unsuspecting YouTube users to make them want to drink battery acid. Mission accomplished. Here's a snippet of the mind-numbing conversation:
We love Jesus! Jesus rocks! She dances for Jesus. I sing, dance and act for Jesus! Now that I think about it, I do everything for Jesus. We make the YouTube videos for Jesus. We're all about it."
Not to tread on ground South Park already covered, but there's just something frightening about a young rising Disney star who's steeped in down home Southern religion. I mean, Christ (no pun intended), how many more vaginas am I going to be exposed to until somebody does something? I'm just a man made of flesh and bone and, yeah, sure, granite that's centrally located in the abdominal region. But does that mean I don't have feelings too. If you cut me, do I not also bleed? If you serve me whiskey, do I not hit on your grandmother? (Psst! Mildred, call me!)
Thanks to Michele who is cuckoo for molecular pharmacology. Or was it ponies? Eh, close enough.

Please, tell me what this smirky guy is apologizing for? Why is he being suspended again? Oh, because he used a politically incorrect, and possibly derogatory term towards a Clinton.
Video of David Shuster groveling for forgiveness here.
MSNBC says it has temporarily suspended anchor David Shuster from all NBC news broadcasts — except to offer his on-air apology for what he said about Chelsea Clinton.
Shuster outraged the Clinton campaign by saying on the air that the campaign had "pimped out" the Clintons' daughter, when they had her place phone calls to party superdelegates on her mother's behalf.
In a conference call with reporters, Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson on Friday excoriated MSNBC's Shuster and called the comment "beneath contempt" and disgusting. And he said it could threaten Clinton's participation in a debate later this month on MSNBC and in future debates on the network.
Wow! I guess that will teach him to be critical of the Clintons. When they say claim a pattern of bias it looks like MSNBC jumps to action.

Leyla McCalla | SFJAZZ
Leyla McCalla
A former member of Carolina Chocolate Drops, cellist, banjoist, singer, and guitarist Leyla McCalla embraces American roots music at its most fundamental, with a deep personal connection to the cultural legacy built by the immigrants who settled here over the generations. Lauded as a "musical virtuoso" by NPR, McCalla was born in New York to Haitian parents and spent several formative teenage years in Africa, before returning to the States to study cello performance and eventually settling in New Orleans, where she found a renewed connection to her Haitian heritage. In her words, "The more I learned about the history of Louisiana, its ties to Haiti and French speaking culture, the more sense of belonging I felt and continue to feel." McCalla appeared on the Carolina Chocolate Drops' GRAMMY-nominated 2012 release Leaving Eden and toured extensively with the group before departing to focus on her own work, which began in earnest on 2013's Vari-Colored Songs, a tribute to Harlem Renaissance icon Langston Hughes that was named album of the year by Songlines magazine and London's Sunday Times. McCalla makes her SFJAZZ debut with music from her 2016 Harmonia Mundia session A Day for the Hunter, A Day for the Prey, named for the Haitian proverb and filled with songs of struggle and social consciousness, sung in English, French and Haitian Creole.

Some wars, it seems, never end, even those fought long ago and far away.
Tomorrow is Vietnam Veterans Day, held on the anniversary of a battle fought in 1966 by 100 Australian soldiers at a place called Long Tan, South Vietnam. Eighteen Australians died. At least 245 enemy soldiers were killed.
The Australians won the battle, but lost the war. South Vietnam, the country they were sent to defend, no longer exists.
Australia's Vietnam War officially ended in 1972, but another war is still being fought. It's a fight over remembrance, over ownership of tradition, over who served and who didn't, over the limits of dissent, and who was right and who was wrong in a war that divided the nation.
The latest nasty little skirmish in that other war involves Garrie Hutchinson, a state public servant whose work centred on military commemoration and heritage, honouring the dead and educating young people about distant wars fought long ago.
The controversy shows that, for some, the battle lines are still entrenched, with wounds unhealed and grievances unresolved.
In this battle, pragmatic state politics intersected with the sometimes fractious and anguished politics of veterans' groups. Conflicting memories have collided and old fights have been re-fought in a shadowy cyber-jungle of half-truths and misunderstanding.
At issue was whether Mr Hutchinson's record - he opposed Australia's role in Vietnam, resisted compulsory military service and, according to critics, supported Australia's enemies - disqualified him from any official commemorative role.
The opening round was fired by freelance journalist Sasha Uzunov, a man on a curious crusade.
On August 5, Uzunov sent to newsrooms and websites a "news story" headlined: "Vietnam veterans furious as govt employs draft dodger".
Uzunov said he had been contacted by "angry" veterans after they learned Mr Hutchinson, "a notorious Vietnam war draft dodger and Vietcong supporter", was working in the veterans unit of the Department of Planning and Community Development.
The item cited a paragraph in military historian Paul Ham's book Vietnam - The Australian War, published last November, that said Mr Hutchinson regretted the defeat of Vietcong guerillas in the 1968 Tet Offensive, and that he avoided conscription by travelling to Britain, where he helped display propaganda films produced by the National Liberation Front (the Vietcong).
Uzunov's item quoted an unidentified veteran saying Mr Hutchinson, who has written widely on pilgrimages to battlefields and war graves, was "making money from war tourism". The item did not reveal that the reference in Ham's book was a partial quote taken from a memoir published by Mr Hutchinson in 1999.
On the same day, a version of Uzunov's story appeared on Melbourne blogger Andrew Landeryou's site, illustrated by a white feather, a symbol of cowardice. The Landeryou piece included extracts from an interview Mr Hutchinson gave to the ABC's Geraldine Doogue in 2006, in which he described himself as a "draft resister".
Variations of the Uzunov/Landeryou stories then appeared in an online forum used by veterans, where Mr Hutchinson was called a traitor and a coward. These accounts made their way to official veterans' groups, including the RSL.
Last Monday, six days after Uzunov sent his email, theHerald Sun reported that Mr Hutchinson's government job - his official title was senior project officer, veterans' heritage - had outraged veterans.
A State Government spokeswoman was quoted as saying Mr Hutchinson's work in commemoration and military heritage was "exemplary", that he had the Government's "full support", and that his views on Vietnam were well known.
The following day, the Herald Sun reported the "stand-off" over Mr Hutchinson had "intensified". It asserted Mr Hutchinson had "fled Australia to avoid national service", and that veterans were threatening to confront Premier John Brumby about the issue on Vietnam Veterans Day.
By now, the Government's "full support" was wavering.
On Tuesday, Assistant Veterans Affairs Minister Tony Robinson met RSL state president David McLachlan, who warned that relations between the Government and veterans would be undermined if Mr Hutchinson remained in his job.
On Wednesday, in an attempt to avoid damage to the veterans' unit, Mr Hutchinson asked to be moved to another position, a decision the Herald Sun reported under the headline "Draft dodger ducks out".
Retired Major-General McLachlan, the RSL president, said the issue was not that Mr Hutchinson had opposed conscription and involvement in Vietnam.
"What we can not accept is the fact that when we had Australians in harm's way, he went and moved in a positive way to support the enemy we were fighting. That's the issue. We felt, and we still feel, that was an inappropriate act."
He said Mr Hutchinson, in interviews with Ham and Doogue, "still continued to proffer that what he was doing was appropriate".
In fact, Mr Hutchinson was never interviewed by Ham, and the transcript of the Doogue interview shows he made no statement in support of the Vietcong. He did talk about a visit to Long Tan, where he met a retired Vietcong officer who was "very respectful" of his former Australian enemies.
General McLachlan told The Sunday Age he had not read Mr Hutchinson's books, including his Pilgrimage: A Traveller's Guide to Australia's Battlefields, published in 2006, in which Mr Hutchinson wrote that "Australia came out of the (Vietnam) conflict with its military reputation enhanced".
Nor was he aware that Mr Hutchinson wrote that, in opposing the war, it was still possible to support the men and women involved, and that: "I still regret that we did not make that point strongly enough."
In any case, this did not amount to an apology, General McLachlan said.
"You've got to look at it in the eyes of someone who served in Vietnam. I served in Vietnam, I lost three of my dearest friends in Vietnam who were killed and I can never get over the fact that some people were working against us."
He said Mr Hutchinson's job included taking student winners of the Premier's Spirit of Anzac awards on tours to Vietnam: "What would he be telling those children?" The government website shows Mr Hutchinson has never escorted students to Vietnam.
Mr Hutchinson, who in the past has written for The Age, declined to be quoted for this article, citing his continuing work as a public servant.
In the past 15 years, after making what he has described as a life-changing visit to Gallipoli, he has written five books on military history and pilgrimage.
Last month, he played a key role in organising the installation of the Cobbers statue at the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance, on the anniversary of the 1916 Battle of Fromelles, in which 5533 Australians were killed, wounded or captured. It was, wrote historian Ross McMullin, the worst 24 hours in Australian history.
Mr McMullin, a friend of Mr Hutchinson, told The Sunday Age: "For many years Garrie Hutchinson has been genuine, active and effective in spreading awareness about Australia's military heritage through his writing, photography and pilgrimages.
"No one was more influential than him in bringing the splendid sculpture Cobbers to the Shrine to commemorate the under-recognised Battle of Fromelles.
"In view of this outstanding contribution, it is lamentable that his frank and insightful 1999 memoir of what it was like to be a young person participating in the anti-war movement four decades ago should become the basis of an attempt to make him persona non grata in military heritage matters today."
Did Mr Hutchinson flee Australia to avoid the draft? He left in 1969, but returned in 1970 and used the courts to resist registering for national service until 1972 when conscription was ended.
Like General McLachlan, Vietnam Veterans Association state president Bob Elworthy says the issue is not whether Mr Hutchinson opposed conscription, but whether he supported the enemy.
"It took courage to be a conscientious objector, but we're not just talking about objection," he said. "What we're talking about is talking up the enemy."
Mr Elworthy said he wanted the Hutchinson issue to "go away, because it's caused a lot of angst to people. I only speak on behalf of my members. I've got my own personal opinions," he said.
He denied the controversy had exposed enduring divisions between those who served in Vietnam and those who didn't, "unless the issue raises itself, like it did in the case of Garrie Hutchinson".
So how did the issue raise itself? Mr Elworthy said: "It came to the attention of people through a fellow called Sasha Uzunov."
Last Thursday, after Mr Hutchinson stepped aside from his position, Uzunov issued an email describing himself as a "fearless freelance photo-journalist" and boasting he had broken a story "that others seem to be too afraid to raise".
Uzunov, a former soldier who served in East Timor, describes himself as a military affairs expert. He complains he is not taken seriously by mainstream journalists who are jealous of his claimed expertise. His self-published stories include emails in which he demands that men who were of military age in the 1960s justify why they didn't serve in the army.
He says if you believe in the Anzac legend, you must serve in uniform. His email targets include Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson, writer Les Carlyon and journalist Ray Martin. Some do not reply.
But in 2004, according to Uzunov, Martin did: "I found your fax offensive, but I'll answer it. Being a patriot, eulogising the Anzac legend, etc, doesn't require anyone to volunteer to fight a senseless, immoral war."

Orange San Diego goes official: first Intel-based smartphone for Europe arrives June 6th
The Orange San Diego is the first Intel Medfield-based smartphone to arrive in Europe and the Western World after the Lava X800 hit the Indian market earlier. Previously referred to as the Oranta Santa Clara, now the San Diego comes for a very lucrative retail price of only around $310 (199 British pounds) on June 6th in the UK.
The Orange San Diego looks much like Intel's reference platform - it features a 4-inch display with a resolution of 600x1024 pixels, pretty close to an HD screen. The main highlight though is on the 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z2460 processor, which fared very well in the benchmarks, on par with other high-end ARM designs in terms of processing power, and slightly behind in terms of graphics.
There's 16GB of internal memory, and the phone is of course capable of reenacting 1080p video. The 8-megapixel rear camera actually also records in 1080p.
The bigget bummer for the San Diego is the fact that it ships with Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board, and that seems dated now. You'll be able to get it soon in the UK, and on a two-year contract the price drops to £15.50 per-month.

Ok now that It has that sort of price point it MAY sell decently. The fact that it has Gingerbread over ICS is still a no go for me

Who is the manufacturer of this phone? The design of this device almost looks as though it could be the design of the next iPhone, mainly becasue of the stainless steel on the side, the positioning of the SIM slot, and bottom of the device (where it micro USB & speakers are) looks similar to those from recent leaks of the next iPhone.

As I flew into Phoenix last week, seeing the city from the air and the approach to the airport reminded me that the Valley's commercial real estate market still has a lot of runway for growth.
More than 1,200 top executives of Jones Lang LaSalle met in Scottsdale last week for our annual leadership meeting. It's an important event, given that our collaborative culture enables our firm to deliver value to commercial and corporate real estate clients in ways that other service firms can't, or don't. So most of the people here were thinking about ways to connect with, and learn from, each other.
But as Jones Lang LaSalle's Southwest Market Director, my thoughts were on the opportunity for growth in Phoenix. I work with our brokers, property managers, project managers and other real estate professionals in Phoenix and across the region. Our business grows when real estate investors and corporate occupiers grow. And Phoenix is frequently high on the list of U.S. cities for business growth.
It may not be obvious at a time when house prices are about half what they were a few years ago, and unemployment remains maddeningly high. But between 2001 and 2011, Phoenix added more than 80,000 jobs, making it the country's fourth-largest gainer when the boom and bust are both taken into account.
Moreover, the job market appears to be on the upswing again — a little or a lot, depending on which study you look at. Recently, the Urban Land Institute reported that Phoenix added more than 34,000 jobs since mid-2009 in private education and health services sectors.
Most important, corporate leaders continue to think of Phoenix when they're considering a business expansion or relocation. That's good for the city's long-term growth prospects.
And it's good for the Phoenix economy overall – including our brokers, construction managers and property management teams.
Peter Belisle is the Southwest Market Director for Jones Lang LaSalle, charged with overseeing the firm's business across the region, which includes Phoenix, Las Vegas, the Los Angeles area, Orange County and San Diego. Business lines under Peter's direction include tenant and landlord representation, project management and a property and facilities management portfolio of 62 MSF.

The classic graphic T-shirt is an underrated piece that I believe deserves some appreciation. While bringing a comfy and casual feel, the graphic T-shirt can always add some unique spice to any look. The unique and "you-inspired" graphic works to promote who or what you like and allows for awesome fashion freedom.
This Fashionisto dons his favorite music icon, Jimi Hendrix, on his graphic T-shirt. This Fashionisto said that he loves this T-shirt because other Hendrix fans always approach him in appreciation. The T-shirt is unique as the graphic covers the entirety of the shirt rather than a portion of it. The shirt is a comfy, breathable cotton and is an easy favorite for a lazy day. Try and find a T-shirt that fits your tastes at stores like Urban Outfitters.
Paired with his favorite T-shirt, the Fashionisto wears a teal and black plaid flannel, that's perfect for bearing the chilly wind. The flannel is an awesome alternative to wearing a jacket during the spring time transition and the teal also adds a pop of color to the mostly gray look. The Fashionisto chose to complement the gray of his Hendrix shirt with a pair of gray skinny pants and a pair of classic black Vans. The gray of the pants also works as a great contrast to the white in the Hendrix shirt, making the graphic stand out even more. The black Vans are good choice in comfort and in continuing the darker scheme of the outfit. Lastly, the Fashionisto tops his look off with another pop of color with his maroon beanie.
Hint: Try a dressy look with your graphic T-shirt by pairing it with a blazer or structured cardigan.

We had our son's 11th birthday at Kingston Park Raceway a few weeks ago and Saxon just loved the whole ...
This was the easiest party I have organised for my 12 year old daughter, from the moment I called Kingston Park Raceway and spoke to a lady in the office - she was so helpful and sent me all of the information within an hour and she included everything I needed. I only had to pay a portion of the party which was great as I had another 2 weeks to save the money before the party was held which is when I had to pay for it all. I was worried at first that it was just for boys and they may get hurt but the guys on the circuit were really good with the girls and showed them how to drive, and the other people on with them were all really good. Sorry to go on but this was the best party she has had and still doesn't stop talking about it, I guess we'll be back again next year, but probably earlier with our friends. If you are looking for a great party then you should call these guys.
I took the kids down to the go-kart track for a bit of fun and wow we couldn't believe the facilities they had there. We were meet by very friendly staff and then we went out on the go-karts and had a ball. Thanks to Alan for the driving tips because it helped me beat my son. We will definitely go back when we are back in Brisbane next year.

I have a very early Pompeian Massage Creme Poster which is on the original hard paper board surface. My father found it over 40 years ago in the attic of an old department store and gave it to me. I then had it framed. The size is appx. 24" x 36". Can anyone tell me it's value?

Krall, CharlesCharles Krall is first listed in 1854 as being in partnership with Otto Schuetze in the piano firm of 'Schuetze & Krall'. Their factory was located at 85 Varick Street, New York City. Their partnership was dissolved in 1855, and Charles Krall built pianos under his own name for the next decade. In 1867, Krall went into partnership with a gentleman by the name of Fakler to establish the firm of 'Krall & Fakler'. Their firm was located at 291 West 24th Street, New York City. Charles Krall died in about 1871, and there is no mention of the firm after that time. Instruments by Krall are exceedingly rare today.

Next week, French union workers will stage a big protest against their government's plan to raise the retirement age. They don't even know yet what age it will be raised to from its current level of 60. The details won't be released until June.
You've got to love the French for their moxie. They love life, and they have their priorities straight. For instance, the French take 35 vacation days a year, versus 11 for Americans, according to an Expedia survey I wrote about a couple of years ago. Over a working career of four decades, French vacations amount to a whopping 1,400 days, or 3.8 years.
Meanwhile, here in this workaholic country of ours, we often take our Blackberrys and laptops with us when we get away from it all, and keep up with e-mails so that we're not barraged on our return to the office. How screwed up is that?
Our Social Security system, which has been in place now for nearly 75 years, is also set up to encourage us to postpone for as long as possible that everlasting vacation known as retirement. For example, those Americans born in 1960 or later won't get full Social Security benefits until they reach age 67. If they begin drawing benefits early, at age 62, they take a 30 percent pay cut. If they wait until age 65, their benefits are reduced by 13.3 percent. If they wait until age 70, they get a bonus.
Now there's talk of further delaying Americans' retirement ages. The official Senate Special Committee on Aging report on Social Security was released today by Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., committee chairman. In the 99-page report are 30-odd proposals designed to shore up the Social Security system. Many of these proposals have to do with raising taxes.
Delaying retirement again
Three of the most objectionable solutions, in my opinion, involve raising the retirement age. This already was done during the Reagan administration, back when we were too young to care.
The first "solution" in the new report changes the current schedule. Those born in 1953 wouldn't reach full-retirement age until age 67 (instead of 66). Then gradually, the full-benefit age increases so that those born in 1977 or later would reach full retirement age at 68.
The second solution continues this schedule going forward so that full-retirement age becomes 70 for those born in 2025.
The third solution doesn't change the current schedule (which as I mentioned has age 67 as full-retirement age for those born in 1960 or later), but does increase full-retirement age to "68 for those born in 1984, to 69 for those born in 2008 and to about age 70 for individuals born in 2032," according to the report.
I personally am opposed to the first and second solutions, as they would affect me directly. I'm not too concerned about people born in 2025 or later because, after all, they haven't been promised anything. Heck, they're not even scheduled to be born for another 15 years.
The most radical proposal in the report recommends investing 40 percent of trust fund assets in equities. Yup, the stock market. Maybe that's a fine idea, but after the recent "flash crash," I wonder if this solution to Social Security's solvency problem might wind up deep-sixing the system altogether.
What do you think? Should the full-retirement age for Social Security go as high as 70? Should the trust fund be invested in stocks? Do you think Social Security will be there for you?

A CIRENCESTER folly that has fallen into a state of disrepair has been described as a building in "very bad" condition by English Heritage.
The ruinous King Alfred's Hall, which is located deep inside Cirencester Park, is included on a register of historic buildings at risk of being lost through neglect, decay or inappropriate development.
Unknown by many people in Cirencester, the hall was built as a sham ruin in 1732 by the first Earl Bathurst and the poet Alexander Pope.
The Grade-II listed building, which is now unrecognisable behind a wall of scaffolding and creeper plants, was described by Standard reader Ken Aardvark as a "disgrace".
A nearby warning sign, put up by the Bathurst Estate, forbids walkers from going near the ruin as it is "potentially dangerous".
Lord Allen Bathurst, 9th Earl of Bathurst, said it was "exceptionally sad" that the iconic building had been left to deteriorate but that a huge amount of money would be needed to bring it up to standard.
He also explained that due to its remote location, it was unlikely that King Alfred's Hall would ever be used as anything other than a folly.
"Bearing in mind it is located in the middle of a woods, access to it is very difficult. However I would like to see it restored enough to stop any further damage," he said.
Historians believe that the building, which was partly used as a banqueting house, is the earliest example of a mock Gothic castle, which were popular during the 18th century.
Peter Grace, a Cirencester-based historian, echoed the views of Lord Bathurst and said that any renovation work would prove costly.
He also said that it would be good for the town if a use for the crumbling building could be found.
"King Alfred's Hall is one of those buildings that just seems to have always been there. I wouldn't want to see it pulled down." he said.
King Alfred's Hall has also been identified by the Folly Fellowship, a campaign group that works to protect historical buildings from being left to rot, as one that is in need of repair.
The hall itself is owned by the Trust of the Earl's Fund, which looks after wood and parkland across Cirencester and was formerly part of the 8th Earl of Bathurst's estate before his death in 2011.
A spokesman for the Trust said that it is not known how much money would be needed to renovate the hall and that it had been on English Heritage's list for many years.
"We are in contact with English Heritage about this property and what can be done with it," he said.

After Fumento had been worked over by yours truly, Chris Mooney and PZ Myers, you'd think there would be nothing left, but Steve Reuland has taken just one paragraph from Fumento's column and found as many mistakes as I found in the whole thing. Fumento's columns aren't just wrong, they're fractals of wrongness!

Now I haven't read through this forum at all yet but I just finished playing through ALttP and they say that A Link Between Worlds is a sequel, not a remake. Even though I think a link between worlds is amazing and super awesome it feels kinda like a remake to me just renaming the 'dark world' as 'Lorule' instead, and adding a few new mechanics.
Well it's not a remake FYI. It takes place generations after ALttP and has a new story and new dungeons, plus new gameplay twists such as merging into walls, renting items, and playing dungeons in any order like Zelda 1.
I know that much I've been playing ALBW and it's a great game but I mean, the 3 pendants and then most of the dungeons in Lorule have the same names as the dungeons in the dark world... Sooo was the 'dark world' Lorule all along?
Yeah, but the dungeons have different layouts. Also, Lorule is a kingdom, not a planet. The Dark World is the planet Lorule is on. Hyrule and Lorule are not planets, just kingdoms. I think the main planet that the Legend of Zelda series takes place on is called the Light World, but it may simply just be Earth.
Games I'm playing currently: Legend of Zelda: A Link Betweeen Worlds, Tearaway
Games I'm excited for: Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros. 4, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8

An otherwise unremarkable NRL game between the Gold Coast Titans and North Queensland Cowboys was enlivened on Monday night by the impromptu appearance of a snake on the field.
The Titans ultimately prevailed 13-12 but it was the sight of a one-metre Brown snake in the south eastern corner of Cbus Super Stadium which will linger in patrons' memories from this night.
The snake soon slithered its way into a drain pipe, although it appeared as though not everyone present was distracted, if the post-match comments of Gold Coast captain Greg Bird are any indication.
"An actual snake? I had no idea," Bird said.
The visit of the reptile brought back memories aplenty of animals interfering at sporting events. Here are some of our favourites:
A stray grey and white tabby briefly held up play during a Liverpool vs Tottenham game after wandering onto the pitch.
A steward eventually picked up the cat and released it into nearby sidestreets.
German Sabine Lisicki's most recent grand slam match prior to the 2013 US Open had been the Wimbledon final. The scene was a little less auspicious on the outside courts at Flushing Meadows when a squirrel halted her clash with Russia's Vera Dushevina.
Lisicki was already a set up at the time, and soon after ensured her progression in straight sets.
The hybrid game in inherently peculiar, so perhaps it was only fitting that a canine dashed around Croke park for eight minutes during a Test match in 2004.
Even more remarkably the game wasn't held up with the two umpires deciding to allow play to continue all the while. Eventually the dog was grasped successfully by stewards.
With champion Saint forward Tony Lockett absent for the clash with Sydney, a fan decided to fill the void left by the burly spearhead and released a big pig with Lockett's nickname (spelled incorrectly, mind you) written on one side and his number 4 written on the other.
A frantic chase after the pig ensued before Swan Darren Holmes dived impressively to stop its run. The incident reportedly left Lockett less than impressed, particularly after commentator Sandy Roberts delivered the timeless line, "There is a pig at full-forward."
The SCG pig was not without precedent. A decade earlier robust English cricketers Ian Botham and Eddie Hemmings were given a special tribute by the rowdy Brisbane crowd when a pig was released with their names written on either side.
The pig was eventually apprehended by a policeman.
Australian and Indian cricketers were forced to lie flat on their stomachs for three minutes as a swarm of bees attacked during a Test match at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground.
It was perhaps the most exciting moment of the entire match, which ended in a high-scoring draw.

Every content creator from bloggers to businessmen have their tools. Lately I've become wildly enamoured with Instagram.
There is something exotic, almost inexplicable about a moment. How it trickles into being. A surreal sense that something is happening to you, part of your brain is watching it happen and then your memory fires to capture it.
That's Instagram. It's the kind of tool that's a revolving map to those collective moments. How they all add up to where you are and what you're experiencing.
I recall many a time when I'd encounter a person or a scene, turn to the air and ask "Did you just see that?" The stubborn air always kept silent.
Now you can see it. Share it. And 'like' it. Instagram may seem narcissistic, a venue for bad photographers to look capable or full of pointless dog photos, but I enjoy its immediacy.
As a traveler, events accelerate so quickly for me that it's comforting to know when I'm decrepit and my mind is fading that the things I experienced are archived. That they did exist.
As for the company itself, creators Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger launched Instagram on October 6, 2010. By day one, there were 25,000 users signed up. By February of 2011, Instagram was valued at 25 million. Their product kept growing as Twitter and Facebook users uploaded the play-by-play of their lives at an exponential speed.
Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook had been watching them since the beginning and always anticipated the two companies melding together. By the time Facebook was ready to buy, 30 million iPhone users were using the app. I highly recommend reading a Vanity Fair feature on the inception and denouement when Facebook finally purchased Instagram.
On a deeply personal note, I follow certain people who take freaking stunning photographs or tell a story or simply prod me to take better photos.
The five I love right now…
1. Sarah Mica – Photographer
Sarah is a Boston based portrait photographer who seamlessly captures the human figure or leads me through the city she loves. Beantown.
Her feed: instagram.com/sarahmica.
2. Marie-Eve Vallieres – Travel Blogger and Photographer
Marie has the ability to make me ache all over. Her timeless photos of Paris allow me to relive some intimate moments I've had with Parisian architecture. She bewitches by beautifully documenting whatever European city or town she's in with style and a loving eye.
Her feed: instagram.com/mevallieres.
3. Jenny Gao – China Food and Culture Extradanoire
I love food, saviour every succulent morsel that enters my mouth, but I think you know this blog isn't a foodie source. I toss words, not salads. Since I've been in China, I've faithfully followed Jenny. She was born in Chengdu, a well of gastronomy. Her passion is how food and culture connects all of us. My dormant foodie lives vicariously through her feed and her photos on Chinese life always fascinate.
Her feed: instagram.com/jingtheory.
4. The Life Escape – Travel Bloggers and Photographers
I just started following Denis and K.T., a couple who left the financial world to travel for at least a year. While it seems a tiresome story (including my own).. Escape the chains of a sealed office existence and burst onto the globe with exuberance!!! With yet another travel blog [sighhhhh].. Their photos are laced with discovery and there's nothing wrong with that. It forces me to drop my shell, that cynical outer self I tend to cart around unchecked at times. They use really interesting angles that feel realistic to me. I tend to view a structure about a kazillion meters taller than me from strange angles — almost sideways sometimes. I like their perspectives on architecture.
Their feed: instagram.com/thelifescape.
5. Kristin Lajeunesse – Vegan Food Blogger
Okay, so perhaps I really am a foodie wannabe, but here's my deal with food. I sooo relish eating it, despise preparing it. If I had a food preparation officer at the ready, my culinary experiences would be wide open. Since September 2011, Kristin has been living in her van from donations to fulfill her mission — to eat at every vegan restaurant in the U.S. What amazes me about her photos is the food in them are meat and dairy free (sometimes gluten too!), but always, always look mouthwatering. Some of the dishes she shares have me wagging my tongue. This blows chunks at the idea that eating vegan has to be tasteless and dull. Her on-the-road images are also adorable.
