ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Internationally known master chef Joe Poon, a 1978 SUNY Oneonta graduate, will return to his alma mater on Thursday, February 17, to prepare a dinner to raise funds for the Food Service and Restaurant Administration Scholarship at the college. The event in the Morris Conference Center will include a silent auction at 6 p.m. and the dinner at 7 p.m.
Members of the community are invited to participate. Tickets are available at $125 each or $1,000 for a table of eight. One hundred dollars of each ticket will be a tax-deductible donation to the College at Oneonta Foundation in support of the scholarship. Reservations can be made by calling the Office of College Advancement at (607) 436-2535 by Friday, February 11.
A long-time friend of SUNY Oneonta and the recipient of a 2006 honorary SUNY Doctor of Humane Letters degree, Chef Poon won acclaim through his success in the culinary industry and his unfailing commitment to giving back to the community. His successful business ventures include Joe's Peking Duck House in Philadelphia, which was named one of America's top 14 Cantonese restaurants by "USA Today."
Chef Poon's dedication to philanthropy ranges from his popular Wok 'N Walk Tour of Philadelphia to teaching cooking classes for disadvantaged youths. He has returned to SUNY Oneonta many times to prepare dinners to benefit international students and the college, and a scholarship in his name supports students in the Food Service and Restaurant Administration program.
The author of the popular cookbook "Life Is Short...Cooking Is Fun," Chef Poon has served as an expert consultant for several national and international groups, a visiting teacher and advisor for institutions of higher education, and a member of the advisory board of the SUNY Oneonta Food Service and Restaurant Administration program. He has appeared on many television shows, and his Wok 'N Walk Tour was cited by the Food Network as one of the best culinary tours in the country, spotlighted on the PBS show "Christina Cooks," and featured in "Group Tour Magazine."
In recent years, Chef Poon has traveled extensively, studied culinary trends, taught cooking classes, and appeared at major international events. He has conducted Chinatown tours for chefs from around the world, carved watermelons for the National Watermelon Promotion Board, and experimented with cooking methods and ingredients from other cultures.
For the dinner he prepares at SUNY Oneonta, students from the classes of faculty member Oscar Oberkircher of the Human Ecology Department will set up the venue, serve as wait staff, and assist Chef Poon in the kitchen.
More information about Chef Poon's appearance at SUNY Oneonta is available from the Office of College Advancement at (607) 436-2535.

Rubrics and Other Tips for Writing Online Assignments
Once you have decided on your activities and assessments, here are some tips for making them happen online:
- Make all expectations for individual activities as crystal clear as possible since you are not physically present to explain details. Students will need to know how to proceed through all aspects of the activity. It's a good idea to test drive the instructions with some students. See if a few students can follow the instructions before they are added to the course.
- Make your expectations and grading of a particular assignment as clear as possible. A rubric is one way to do this.
- Create a chart to explain your overall grading scheme for the course and how individual assignments fit into the grading scheme. Example
- If students will need particular equipment and/or software for course activities, let them know before the course begins. You cannot assume, for instance, that everyone has a mobile phone, digital camera or access to a fax machine.
- Help students understand the rationale(s) for particular activities.
- Provide a space within the online classroom where students can get help.
- Develop a rubric for how you will assess students work. Writing a rubric can help you clarify your expectations for student work and then communicate those expectations to students.
A rubric is an explicit set of criteria used for assessing a particular type of work or performance. A rubric usually also includes levels of potential achievement for each criterion, and sometimes also includes work or performance samples that typify each of those levels. Levels of achievement are often given numerical scores. A summary score for the work being assessed may be produced by adding the scores for each criterion. The rubric may also include space for the instructor to describe the reasons for each judgment or to make suggestions for the author. Blackboard has a built in rubric creation tool. By using this tool you can attach your rubrics to specific assignments.

City Light finds two more energized streetlights
Posted on December 30th, 2010 by master
During continued inspections of 20,000 metal streetlights and connected equipment throughout the city, Seattle City Light discovered and repaired two more streetlights giving off contact voltage this week, the utility announced in an inspections update released yesterday. No one was injured in either case. Here are the details of each instance:
- Tuesday night, Power Survey Co. (PSC), one of two contractors hired by City Light to help inspect all 20,000 metal streetlights and associated equipment, discovered a faulty streetlight near the intersection of Second Avenue and James Street. Old wiring had deteriorated, sending about 35 volts of electricity into a nearby mailbox, parking meter and bike rack. City Light crews immediately cut power and made repairs.
- About 10 a.m. Wednesday, a customer called City Light to report a suspicious streetlight in her Blue Ridge neighborhood. The woman's dog had yelped when it approached the pole and a friend's dog had shied away from it.
A City Light crew responded immediately and measured 48 volts of electricity on the pole near the intersection of NW Blue Ridge Drive and NW 100th Street. Workers determined that the photo cell that turns the streetlight on and off had melted, shorting out the pole. They cut power and completed repairs by 12:30 p.m.
City Light began a systematic inspection of metal streetlights citywide after a Queen Anne dog, Sammy, died due to stray voltage on Queen Anne Ave N on Thanksgiving day. While originally believing the incident to be isolated (caused by a pinched wire and improper grounding), it was later discovered that the city lacked proper inspection records at that site and at others around town. As of last week City Light had identified and repaired six energized streetlights, including the one that killed Sammy. The two sites discovered this week brings that total up to eight.
City Light is contracting with two other companies to complete the inspections. On Tuesday Power Survey Co. completed inspections in about 20 percent of the Downtown area, while the Davey Resources Group has so far inspected 125 streetlights around Seattle Center/Lower Queen Anne. Last week City Light crews completed inspections in Seattle Housing Authority developments, including those in High Point, GreenBridge, New Holly and Rainier Vista. No other potentially dangerous sites were identified.

Unfortunately, dogs seem to be more effective at finding the defect streetlights than City Light. And we're up to 8 "isolated incidents"

Despite outcry from fans of the excellent BBC series "Sherlock," CBS is going full steam ahead with its own modern day Sherlock Holmes series, "Elementary." And now the so-called American Sherlock Holmes has a director.
According to Deadline, "Homeland" executive producer Michael Cuesta has signed on to direct the pilot episode of "Elementary" and executive produce the potential series as part of an overall deal with CBS said to be in seven figures.
Under the terms of the contract, Cuesta will also write, develop and potentially direct his own pilot for next year's development season, or he will direct another CBS pilot if his project is not ordered to pilot. Additionally, Cuesta will remain on "Homeland" for its second season. Screenwriter Rob Doherty is writing the "Elementary" script, with Sarah Timberman ("Unforgettable") and Carl Beverly ("A Gifted Man") attached as executive producers as well.
Created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887, Sherlock Holmes is one of the most famous literary creations of all time. The great detective is currently enjoying a resurgence of his enduring popularity thanks to the "Sherlock Holmes" feature films starring Robert Downey Jr. (pictured above) and Jude Law as well as the previously mentioned "Sherlock" starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson.
Fans of "Sherlock" have been particularly outspoken against "Elementary" here at Crave Online, particularly over word that the series will be largely Americanized and take place in New York City instead of Holmes' traditional London setting.
"Elementary" has not yet been cast, but it remains in contention for a slot on CBS' fall schedule. "Sherlock" Season 3 was recently announced by the BBC, but no date is currently set for its return. The second season of "Sherlock" will premiere in the United States on PBS in May.

Large Firms and Catch-Up in a Transitional Economy: The Case of Shougang Group in China
This study examines the possibility of catch-up of the Chinese steel industry, in particular the Shougang Group, with the leading global steel giants. Shougang is one of the four steel companies that have been selected by the Chinese government to constitute the core of the future Chinese steel industry. The contract system at Shougang, which operated from 1979 to 1995, unleashed an extraordinary entrepreneurial energy in the formerly traditional state-run steel plant. In the post-contract system, Shougang's range of decision-making independence in respect to the purchase of inputs, its production structure and product marketing has increased substantially compared to the contract system, when the government still controlled many of the key decisions. As a result of institutional constraint, the low value-added steel products dominate Shougang's portfolio. To challenge the established giants in the steel industry, Shougang has to divest the loss-making non-core businesses, slowly downsize employment in the core business, raise capital on the stock market and generates the resources for continued upgrading of its steel technology and diversifying its product portfolio.

Sometimes it only takes one type of play.
On Desert Vista's first offensive play of the game, senior quarterback Cade Van Raaphorst sent a receiver in motion toward him, he faked the hand-off to the receiver and the took the ball himself up the middle for a 54-yard touchdown run.
Desert Vista ran the same read option play for three more touchdowns to shut down Cienega 47-21.
"We're just trying to play to our strengths," coach Dan Hinds said. "We got a quarterback that can run and we got some fly guys that can run. That's what we're trying to do. That's what our offense is all about this year. Tonight we got it going and hopefully we can keep getting better at it."
The Thunder's second touchdown was the same play type of play but this time Van Raaphorst read the defensive end and gave the ball off to junior running back T.J. Roberts.
Roberts took to the outside and broke free for a 42-yard touchdown.
Unlike Roberts, senior wide receiver Richard Haywood did not get a touchdown Friday night. But he was the unsung hero of the offense and helped make the zone read work.
Haywood finished the game with six carries for 55 yards. His numbers are not impressive but on his first hand-off of the game he took it for 31 yards.
Therefore, every time he went in motion and pretended to take the hand-off, one of the Cienega linebackers went with him.
With one defender out of the box, van Raaphorst had a bunch of lanes to choose from.
"That's how it's supposed to work," Hinds said. "You got guys who have speed on the edge and are supposed to spread things out and open things up in the middle. So when you got a guy like Richard Haywood with that kind of speed and quickness it helps things out a lot."
Van Raaphorst finished the night with 12 carries for 86 yards and three rushing touchdowns. All three of his touchdowns came on the same play call.
The senior quarterback praised his offensive linemen for pushing the Cienega defenders but he also gave credit to Haywood.
"Those backers are so quick to fly out because of guys like Richard," van Raaphorst said. "Once they see them going in motion and I pull it, it's like a Red Sea parting. Our offense wouldn't work without them. We like to get around edge, but if we see those backer flying out then our coaches up stairs and our coaches on the field will recognize it and it works perfect."
For the second straight game the Thunder defense stepped up in the second half.
An interception thrown by van Raaphorst and a long kickoff return by Cienega senior wide receiver Christian Poe set up two Cienega touchdowns.
The Thunder went into the half with a 27-14 lead.
The defense came out in the second half with some energy and did not give up a defensive touchdown for the rest of the game.
Senior defensive end Jalen Jelks led the Thunder attack with another stellar performance wreaking havoc in the Cienega back field all night.
He had two sacks and one tackle for loss that combined for 20 negative yards for the Cienega offense.
The only touchdown Desert Vista gave up in the second half was another long kickoff return from Poe again.
It was an interesting night for special teams. The Thunder would either have breakdown or come up with a big play.
Not only did the Thunder struggle on kickoff return but they also missed two extra points.
Then linebacker Saxon McDonald blocked a punt and junior wide receiver Max Jensen returned for a touchdown.
"It was crazy because we would get one on special teams then we would give one up on special teams," Hinds said. "They're all things that we can shore up and fix and I got no doubt that we're going to do that."

Superintendent Deborah Blow is leaving the Cambrian School District to become the next superintendent of the Orcutt Union School District in Santa Barbara County.
Blow, who starts her new job July 1, came to the Cambrian District July 1, 2009, taking over from Tom Dace, who was superintendent for three years. He followed Barry Groves, who held the position for about 17 years.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for both my husband and me," Blow says about the move. Her husband works out of state, and the new position will allow them to spend more time together, she says.
"Cambrian is an incredible and fabulous district. It has the support from the community and the staff, and that will attract a good person for the job. But it will be hard for me to leave," Blow says.
Her accomplishments include a five-year strategic plan approved several years ago to bring Cambrian's schools into the 21st century. The plan calls for flexible learning environments to allow students to reach their own potential; opportunities addressing the whole child; and high-quality instruction to promote active learning and maximize student achievement.
Blow's ideas included using computers and video equipment to allow students to learn and understand concepts and ideas without lectures. The lessons let them research information, draw up a storyboard and then turn lessons into videos.
Under Blow, Cambrian collaborated with the nearby Union District to take part in Apple Computer's 21st Century Learning Academy. Sixteen teachers from each district went to the academy, where they learned to make use of lessons for all grades.
In Santa Barbara, Blow will oversee 10 schools–six elementary, two junior highs, one K-12 charter academy and a high school.

Potentially dangerous fumes make residents sick
Wed, 15 Jan 2014 05:00:12 GMT —
Fumes blowing across Grimes Road in Harlingen and flowing into nearby neighborhoods caused several hours of chaos Monday night.
"Our fire department starting receiving calls from citizens about what smelled like gas fumes in the area."
Dave Ralph with the city of Harlingen says a group of people at nearby soccer complex evacuated because of strong fumes coming from Tire, Recycling and Processing Plant.
Three people living nearby experienced watery eyes, irritated throats and nausea.
One person went to emergency room.
"That's our main concern is safety and well being of citizens and we're working to try to resolve this problem."
City leaders say the company is now under the microscope to make sure they are in compliance with state regulations and that the pesky fumes are not hazardous to Harlingen residents.
"Now that there are possible environmental consequences and heatlh consequences we want to make sure the city and county and state are working with that company to resolve this issue as quickly as possible."
They've drafted a letter to state and county leaders to come together to protect the people without putting anyone out of business.
"We have to examine what the permit factors are in terms of the facility operating, inspections and enforcement."

Pope John Paul II, who moves among his faithful in a custom-built, bullet-proof car known as the "Popemobile, wasn't the only religious leader to travel in style during his American visit.
Rabbi Alan Silverstein, head of the International Rabbinical Assembly and spiritual leader of a New Jersey synagogue, came to New York by helicopter from his congregation shortly after the Sabbath ended Saturday night to join with some two dozen Jewish leaders in a meeting with the pontiff.
The International Rabbinical Assembly represents some 1,400 rabbis affiliated with the Conservative movement.
A police escort rushed him from his synagogue, Congregation Agudath Israel, to the local airport, where a helicopter provided by the mayor of Caldwell, N.J., awaited him. Silverstein is a resident of Caldwell.
In just eight minutes, he touched down at a heliport on the East River along the edge of Manhattan, where he was whisked by car to the residence of Cardinal John O'Connor, who was hosting the meeting Jewish leaders and the pope.
The meeting was scheduled for 8:30 p.m.
The problem was the Secret Service required that they arrive a half hour before their meeting. But Shabbat ended at 7:13 p.m.
For New Yorkers, 45 minutes is just enough time to grab a cab after Havdalah and get to the cardinal's residence, which is located in midtown Manhattan behind St. Patrick's Cathedral.
But for Silverstein, the trip would take at least an hour – and that's on a good day, without traffic – and the pope's visit had been tying up traffic all over the city.
"It's a very unusual way to begin the end of Shabbat," said Silverstein, who never before traveled by helicopter.
"But there's something poetic about the head of an international rabbinical assembly meeting with the pope and first spending some time in the heavens."

Today's Headlines and Commentary
Today's Headlines and Commentary
Let's begin with the New York Times's editorial board, which argues in this piece that shifting the U.S. drone program from the CIA to the Pentagon will only "be a marginal improvement," and that "the proposed change would mean scant improvement in the rules that govern drone strikes." Ben, the Times's Unpaid, Unofficial Ombudsman for Factual Matters in National Security-Oriented Editorials, says he's too tired to flyspeck another one in three days for major errors.
The editorial references Mark Mazetti's piece from the weekend that revealed a secret deal between the United States and Pakistan on drone strikes in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas; Alan posted about the story here.
Scott Shane of the Times describes how drones have come to define the War on Terror. Our very own Matt Waxman is interviewed in the piece.
Matt also shows up in this National Public Radio story about Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, Osama bin Laden's son-in-law, who was due to appear in court this afternoon to face charges of material support and conspiracy.
Robert Kennedy writes on Al Jazeera's web site about the development and proliferation of autonomous "killer robots," and the positive and negative responses from people in different sectors. Matt is quoted in that piece too.
In non-Matt news, Rosa Brooks, similarly, writes in Foreign Policy about the changing nature of warfare.
Peter Bergen and Jennifer Rowland of the New America Foundation discuss on CNN.com something we often overlook on the site: the threat of non-jihadist domestic terrorism in America. They say:
[O]f all the people indicted on terrorism charges in the United States since 9/11, no jihadist suspect has ever acquired or attempted to acquire chemical, biological or radiological weapons, while at least 11 right-and left-wing terrorists either obtained such materials or made serious attempts to do so.
The Washington Post editorial board argues that Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel's efforts to restructure the Pentagon will not succeed unless he has more support from the Pentagon bureaucracy and Congress.
Meanwhile, outside the borders of these United States, the Associated Press reports that U.K. officials have announced that terrorists are in the final stages of planning attacks in Somalia. So cancel that round trip ticket to Somaliland, where there is allegedly a specific threat to Westerners.
For those of us that have been jonesing for words of wisdom from Al Qaeda head honcho Ayman Al-Zawahri, the AP reports that he posted a new audio message on militant websites over the weekend. It's the usual calls for jihad, and for death, destruction, and a plague on the West.
CNN.com reports, as do the Hill, the Times, and the Post---and just about everyone else---that, along with five other Americans, a young American diplomat was killed in Afghanistan over the weekend while delivering books to a school. The attacks came the day Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey arrived in the country to discuss the transition. It was the deadliest attack on Americans in the last eight months.
The Afghan Army is, slowly but surely, taking over from American forces. The Post describes its efforts in the Tangi Valley, the most dangerous Taliban holdout in the country. The Times has this piece on the challenges ahead.
A NATO airstrike killed ten children along with six or seven Taliban militants, says the Los Angeles Times. The New York Times also has the story. According to Bloomberg, Afghan President Hamid Karzai has ordered an investigation into the incident.
Doug Saunders of the Canadian Globe and Mail keeps us updated on the story of the two Canadians who were killed in the standoff at a gas plant in Algeria in January.
Jeremy Herb of the Hill reports that U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay released a statement reiterating that Guantanamo Bay is "in clear breach of international law" and should be shut down.
And guess who's gotten lost on his latest overseas trip? From the Onion, it's today's Moment of Zen.

Special Coverage
North American Int'l Auto Show
Kia Motors America details its open-air, outdoor-oriented Soul'ster concept car ahead of its debut Sunday at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The concept, based on the '10 Soul production cross/utility vehicle going on sale in the U.S. this spring, features design details such as bright "Soul'r" yellow paint and screw borders similar to rivets on fighter jets.
The concept also sports a 2-piece roof, which allows the front and back seating areas to be opened independent of one another, "using elbow-grease technology," KMA says in a statement.
"(The) Soul'ster delivers something new, intriguing and relevant to today's buyers – a fun, affordable convertible for active people who like to share good times with friends," says Tom Kearns, KMA's chief designer.
While the production Soul will have four doors, the Soul'ster is designed with two. It also has 19-in. wheels, compared with the Soul's 16-in. standard issue.
Particular attention has been paid to the Soul'ster's exterior lighting, with blue-hued light-emitting diode headlamps accented with an amber glow. The side vents, side-mirror turn signals and fog and taillamps also are blue in color.
From the front, Kia describes the Soul'ster as having "tough" features, such as an anodized skid-pad insert that coordinates with the fender vents, roll-bar header and wheels.
Dual chrome exhaust pipes with polished aluminum tips and carbon-fiber interior sleeves are featured in the rear of the Soul'ster.
Inside, there is seating for four vs. the production Soul's 5-passenger layout. The loss of the fifth seat lends "spacious versatility for long summer weekends," KMA says.
The front passenger and rear seats fold flat for cargo hauling. They are not mounted to the floor but cantilevered, providing the illusion of being suspended in space when viewed from the vehicle's side.
Kia envisions the Soul'ster offering a variety of engine options, from a 1.6L 4-cyl. making 120 hp to the Soul's 2.0L 4-cyl. that kicks out 140 hp.
Overseas, a second 1.6L engine producing 124 hp or a 1.6L turbodiesel may be the more likely powertrain choices for the Soul'ster, KMA says.
The Soul'ster is the latest in a series of Soul concepts, following the Soul Burner, Soul Diva and Soul Searcher, all of which debuted at last year's Geneva auto show. The Soul Hybrid was unveiled at last October's Paris show.
Meanwhile, KMA announces the production Soul will be priced just below $14,000, including $695 destination and handling charges. A fully loaded Soul should top out at less than $20,000.

WARSAW (Mar. 12)
The Polish police are now curtailing the activities of a band of thugs who made it their business to molest Jews leaving Poland.
One of their schemes was to prey upon those immigrants who "stole" their way across the border. Catching sight of the unhappy immigrant they would rob him of his goods, threatening to turn him over to the police for traveling without a passport if he informed on them.

When patients enter Dr. Mary Sue Stonisch's office, she can give them straight, white teeth within minutes—or at least the appearance of straight, white teeth. Her Smile Now technology creates a custom covering that looks like a row of teeth, which she then places over patients' real teeth to show the potential results from her many cosmetic-dentistry services.
Equipped with such inventive tools, a degree from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry, and an accreditation fromthe American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Stonisch beautifies teeth at Faircourt Dental Smile Enhancement Studio. She and her staff whiten enamel, treat TMJ, and vanquish bacteria during laser cleanings. Their office resembles a spa, with complimentary beverages and aromatic scents that complement heated neck pillows—a more achievable way to warm one's neck than getting put in a headlock by the Human Torch.

Truck crashes into sandpit at child care
A prime mover has wiped out a fence and crashed into the sandpit of a child care centre in Darwin, but police say there are no injuries.
The incident happened at the ABC Child Care Centre on the corner of Woolner Road and Bishop Street in the suburb of Stuart Park.
Duty Superintendent John Emeny said police received a report of an accident at the child care centre about 8am.
"A prime mover had reversed up a driveway to make deliveries at a business premises opposite the child care," he said.
"There's been a mechanical problem with the vehicle and it's rolled down the driveway and across the road and into the fence of the child care centre.
"It's knocked down a tree and it's come to rest in the sandpit there."
He said all of the children were inside at the time of the accident.
"Fortunately it was reception time at the child care centre and all of the children were inside and accounted for."
A parent of a child at the centre said he had a "bit of a heart attack for a moment" after hearing news that a truck had crashed into the centre.
"All we knew was that the truck had come through and we were very lucky because the kids are normally playing at that time of the day," he said.
"The only reason they weren't is that one of the ladies was running late.
"So, man, it was lucky."
He said he was taking his child home early today.
"We've come straight here to get him just to take him home.
"We feel shaken more than he does, I think."
He added: "He loves that sandpit, so thank God he wasn't in it."

We put more and more information about ourselves online, and in Europe remain confident that strong data protection laws apply. But whose law, exactly, does control the use of information about us? And how is that question decided? 12 Sep 2013
Examining the results of a landmark dispute between Facebook and the German province of Schleswig Holstein, data protection experts from Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind Out-Law.com, clarify the issues.
This edition of Out-Law Radio features Marc Dautlich, Stephan Appt and Lore Leitner and is the first in a short series focusing on data protection law. The next instalment will be published next week.
Here is the transcript of the podcast:
Out-Law Radio, 12th September 2013
Different countries have different data protection laws and within Europe different interpretations of EU Data Protection Law so when international companies like Facebook or Google hold lots of very personal information about us and have offices and users all over the world whose laws applies? A few cases including one involving Facebook in the German Province of Schleswig-Holstein give us some clues. Data Protection experts from international law firm Pinsent Masons discuss the thorny issue of which law governs the treatment of Europe's online personal data.
Marc Dautlich: I am Marc Dautlich, head our information law team at Pinsent Masons based in the London office. The question we have got is which jurisdiction applies to my data processing activities in the European Union and I have a couple of colleagues with me who are just going to introduce themselves.
Stephan Appt: My name is Stephan Appt, I am based in the Munich office of Pinsent Masons and also specialise in data protection Law.
Lore Leitner: I am Lore Leitner, I am based in London and I am part of the data protection team.
Marc Dautlich: Perfect. Thank you both. So I want to start by asking Stephan a little bit about this case, we have got a really important issue here, Facebook and one of the provincial German Data Protection Regulators in Schleswig-Holstein and the German courts have been at odds about who has jurisdiction over Facebook's activities in Germany. Stephan can you tell us a little bit about the background of the case and why it is an important decision for everyone, not just Facebook?
Stephan Appt: Sure Marc. As you have already said there was an issue between the Local DPA in Schleswig-Holstein and Court of Schleswig and the subject matter of this case was that the Facebook Policy actually does not allow Facebook users to register their accounts using pseudonym, the policy requires that you use your real name and it happened that people situated in Schleswig-Holstein, they registered or some of them have registered under pseudonyms and Facebook blocked their accounts and that triggered action by the Data Protection Authority sending a warning letter to Facebook Inc in Palo Alto saying basically, "Dear Mr Zuckerberg please unblock these accounts otherwise if you do not comply with this German law requirement then we will issue a fine of €20,000".
Marc Dautlich: So Facebook at this point said, "well we are not subject to the German law because we are based in Ireland," is that right?
Stephan Appt: Exactly that is exactly the case there is a Facebook entity situated in Ireland, the Facebook Limited and then the discussion arose which entity is actually processing personal data in this case because that would have immediate effect on the question which law is actually applicable and which authority is actually competent to review such data processing and there the decisive or the most important part, the court had to consider here was whether the country of origin principle that provides for the applicability of Irish Law in this instance.
The DPA argued that as the Irish entity is not in control of the data processing and does not decide what happens with the data that has been processed therefore the country of origin principle would not bite in this case and it would not be an establishment that would be pre‑conditioned for this principle to apply.
Marc Dautlich: Facebook said on the facts that is all wrong because the German entity is not involved in this sign up process where users are signing up, is that right?
Stephan Appt: They said well that is the second line of argumentation that the Data Protection Authority tried to use, they said well we have this German entity as well and they presumably are processing data which Facebook denied and the court also assumed this was not the case so there was no German entity that could be considered as a data processor or controller in that case which would lead to the result that German law is not applicable but still due to the fact that they accepted that it does not matter whether the Irish entity is in control of the data processing for the applicability of the country of origin principle still Irish law would apply here.
Marc Dautlich: And so in this particular case obviously this was very important to Facebook because of a specific difference between Irish law and German law, namely this business of pseudonyms and whether you are allowed to sign up using a pseudonym instead of your real name and details but the principle that would apply to any business would it not, that is operating across Europe whether they are based somewhere in Europe or for that matter outside it?
Stephan Appt: From most of the legal observers perspective this should have been probably a clear cut case for the country of origin principle to apply but you have also, you must consider the fact that German data protection authorities, there is a trend that they pick up issues and seek a way as to how they can establish competence and just recently they have started to get after the big names like Facebook, Apple and Google and that is just a fact that entities or businesses have to take into mind.
Marc Dautlich: So there is an issue here about some how can I put it, Schleswig Holstein throwing its weight around, if I can put it that way. I just want to bring Lore into this at this point and just try and get a perspective on the position in France because this country of origin principle as I say is really important to any business that is operating across borders within the single market. Lore is the French approach roughly the same as we are talking in Germany that the court took or is it a different stance?
Lore Leitner: Well, for starters the approach the CNIL would take, which is the French data protection authority, would be completely the same so as you know you this country of origin principle that is also applicable in France because of the European Privacy Directive so that means that the data controller if he carries out processing in the framework of his establishment in France, his subject to the French data protection law so the way the CNIL approaches this is that they look at this concept establishment and they try to interpret that as broad as possible.
So, because there is no definition of establishment under the Data Protection Act, they will often try and look other the areas of law and to see how they can steal ideas, kind of and apply those to a certain data protection law case and then have them interpret as broad as possible. So often they will go and look at tax law because establishment is also a concept that is known and the French tax law and they will make the decision that you are subject to French data law as soon as you have an actual and regular activity on the French territory and that data processing is involved in the activities on the French territory.
So they will not look at the legal forum of the establishment on the French territory or they will also not look at how you define it yourself. As soon as French law is applicable you are also subject to all the fines and all the specific requirements.
Marc Dautlich: So goodness me, in France we have got to think about tax law not just data protection law because that is way that the French or one way that the French approach the interpretation of where is your place of establishment. We have been talking about, in summary it is the location of the establishment within the EU that carries out the data processing activities that is key to this question, is it not? It is not where the data is located necessarily, that is not the conclusive issue and if you have more than one establishment as in the particular case with Facebook, so they have Facebook GMBH in Germany but it is doing and Facebook Limited in Ireland that the German entity is not involved in the activity that is complained of, that is irrelevant then, is it not that German entity because that is not relevant for the discussion, is it not Stephan?
Stephan Appt: That is correct but on the other hand if the Hamburg entity would have been active in data processing as well in addition to Facebook in Ireland then actually both legal regimes would have been applicable as it just leads to maybe funny results.
Marc Dautlich: Well let us end on a good note, when if the new proposed general Data Protection regulation comes in the EU in theory at any rate that is going to harmonise the situation so that we will not have differences of substantive Data Protection Law as between, in this case Ireland and Germany, where it really matters which forum is the right one. That is the theory of it anyway. Thank you both very much.

Metropolitan Council holds extraordinary meeting
SYOSSET, NY [OCA Communications] — The Metropolitan Council of the Orthodox Church in America, under the chairmanship of the Primate, His Beatitude, Metropolitan Herman, met in extraordinary session on May 18, 2006, and voted to accept a loan proposal contained in a commitment letter from The Honesdale National Bank, Honesdale, PA.
When finalized, the loan in the amount of $1,700,000 will be used to consolidate existing external and internal debts of the Church.
After a motion to postpone action was defeated, a motion to accept the terms contained in the commitment letter was approved.
It is anticipated that the closing on the loan will take place on or before July 3, 2006.
At the conclusion of the nearly two hour teleconference, Metropolitan Herman thanked those who participated and those unable to participate who submitted their proxy vote concerning the loan, for their love of Christ and their devotion to the mission of His Church. The Metropolitan emphasized that these are difficult and painful days in the history of our young, autocephalous Church in America. He challenged the members of the Metropolitan Council to join him in refocusing our energy and resources on the Church's primary task of witnessing to and generously sharing our Orthodox Christian Faith with all people in North America.
"We can anticipate that we will continue to face more dark and stormy clouds," stated Metropolitan Herman, "but because of God's mercy and love for us, we will emerge to see the light that He will provide to illumine our way."

Platner House (1913)
This is one of Mount Vernon's former mansions, built by hardware dealer William E. Platner for his wife, who wanted a nice house for her parties. When he died, she eventually sold the grand place and it became a funeral home.
Today the refurbished mansion resounds with music. In 1963 the college bought the building and furnished it with pianos to serve as a practice and rehearsal facility for students taking courses in applied music.


text: COLUMBUS, OH—A brightly colored multicultural mural on the side of the Walker Street Community Center has brought together Columbus' many diverse ethnic communities in a celebration of talentless painting. "The young people of this city have given us something we truly can kind of be proud of," City Councilman Terrence Fordham said Monday at the bad mural's dedication ceremony. "These ham-fisted dollops of garish paint and barely recognizable human figures are a joyous tribute to the gorgeous mosaic that is Columbus."

Drug trial victims get no government aid
By CH Rama Gopala Sastry | Published: 30th November 2012 11:27 AM |
Last Updated: 30th November 2012 11:27 AM | A+A A- |
The district administration which promised two acres of land, house site, pension and bank loan, to the kin of drug trial victims, has failed to fulfil even a single promise so far.
It came to light after the death of Aila Narasimha Rao, a drug trial victim, on November 9. The kin of Narasimha Rao, a lorry driver of Piduguralla, who allegedly died of adverse reaction of the drugs administered to him by the Axis Clinicals Limited of Hyderabad, are demanding that the government pay a compensation to them.
It may be recalled here that the then collector VN Vishnu promised 2 acres of cultivable land, house site, pensions and bank loan to the all the victims of drug trials in 2011.
In all, 21 clinical trial victims met district collector S Suresh Kumar two days ago and submitted a memorandum to him seeking aid. The victims are suffering from different health problems.
"Poverty forced us to agree to undergo the clinical trials. Agents of pharmaceutical companies lured us with huge amount of money if we underwent the clinical trials," said Vadde Nagalakshmi, a victim.
"We have not received any kind of help from the government so far," said another clinical trial victim Yesupovu Bhagyamma.
Responding to the memorandum submitted to him, Suresh Kumar directed the authorities concerned to submit a status report on provision of aid to the drug trial victims.
He reiterated that the government was committed to extension of all possible help to the victims.

Director's Note - Bev Newcomb-Madden
OK, so some of
you don't know anything about opera. And
that's just fine. Maybe watching this backstage show about opera and the people,
who love it and live for it, will inspire you. The title is The Second Tosca. so it's primarily
about the opera Tosca. with little
snippets of other opera arias thrown in…plus three Divas to give it texture.
How about that? So we hope this performance
is an experience in entertainment and enlightenment. Now, since there is so
much talk about Tosca and the events
that occur within the opera during our play…can I take a bit of time to explain
to those of you who know nothing of opera, about the story of Tosca?
Tosca - A Short Synopsis
Act I; In the Church of Andrea Alle Valle in Rome. Mario Caravodossi, the painter, tells his friend, Angelotti, who has escaped from prison, that he will keep him safe Mario, who is painting a portrait of The Madonna in the church. compares his latest artistic effort with the image of his love, Fiori Tosca, the famous singer. She comes to visit Mario and to see his painting but is jealous of him and expresses her emotion and her love. After she leaves, the Baron Scarpia, head of Rome's Secret Police, enters seeking the convict Angelotti but also hoping to find Tosca in the church, whom he desires..
Act II: In Scarpia's apartment, Tosca is told by Scarpia that Mario, when approached, was defiant and therefore arrested. He will be released if he states where Angelotti is hidden otherwise he will be executed. Scarpia tells Tosca he desires her and she replies she only lives for art and love but will give in to him if he frees Mario with a "note of safe conduct." Scarpia says they will stage a mock execution of Mario but he will really be set free. Tosca, after ultimately feeling such hatred for Scarpia, stabs him and leaves with the "safe conduct note" for Mario's release.
Act III: On the rooftop of the prison at Castel Sant' Angelo, Mario writes a farewell note to Tosca. She arrives and tells Mario to pretend to fall to his death during the mock execution and afterwards, he will be set free. The firing squad arrives, shoots Mario who falls to his death. Tosca discovers that Scarpia tricked her. She hears the soldiers below announcing the discovery of Scarpia's dead body and knows she will soon be arrested. Realizing there is no hope, she quickly jumps over the parapet to her own death.

How important is it to have keywords in my domain?
Do I need to use a keyword stuffed domain name?
Many times I am asked by customers, "Is having keywords in my domain name important"? My normal answer is yes and no, as it depends on the situation. I do agree with what Matt Cutt's explains in the video below. However for many local small businesses and startups in a competitive market, having a super-brand like Matt explains is not necessarily feasible. Small businesses looking for local visitors do need to rely on keywords to get the attention of visitors who don't necessarily know them.
It can help, but I would use other methods
Having a domain with keywords in it is unfortunately quite powerful to Google. Matt explains in the video below that Google has thought of turning back the knob on this part of the algorithm to not give keyworded domains such favor. I agree that they should still give keyworded domains a little favor but not as much as they are now.
There are many other SEO practices that can help move your listing to the top of search engines without needing to have a keyworded domain. My final answer to this question to all customers is, does the keyworded domain look natural? If your keyworded domain idea is a whole sentence, then I would never suggest this type of domain. Although search engines may treat it well, it is almost never acceptable for a small business or startup to have a super keyworded domain in my opinion unless it directly relates to their name. If it doesn't directly relate to their business name, I would pass and use other SEO practices to move up the ranks.


text: Hello everyone Thank you for your answers Esko and Skipper. It keeps giving me the same error with StringIO (at least its consistent :-) ).

Death is never on holiday, according to Microaudiotellarevolution.
By Anthony Mariani
There�s not enough brainy art in Cowtown, art that doesn�t require a 10-page artist�s statement to really sing, that makes your heart think, art that seems familiar but is totally alien. Fort Worth isn�t lacking in conceptual art. But most of it is simply theatrical, referential, or overtly political. What we�re missing is art that creates its own aesthetic, that is a kind of poetry but one written entirely in hieroglyphics. Does "brainy" mean "high-tech"? Not at all. Jason Reynaga�s eye-popping tableaux, Matt Clark�s vibrant color fields, and John Holt Smith�s versions of Barnett Newman�s "zips" employ traditional materials and approaches but challenge viewers� cerebrums -- and retinas. Though you might dismiss Reynaga and company�s work as Minimalist or just plain empty, remember that some conceptual art relies on viewers� tastes and, well, brains to complete it.One Fort Worthian who tackles Big Issues fearlessly is installation artist and occasional Weekly photographer Christopher Blay. In his first solo show at Gallery 414, Fort Worth�s oldest and most esteemed nonprofit gallery, the founder of the Group f8 photography collective and Thrift Art Gallery Auction, an annual parody of the art world, is socially engaged but not pedantic, brainy but not academic. In Microaudiotellarevolution, Blay explores the gray area between the truth and technological representations thereof, a continuation of his fascination with a philosopher whose groundbreaking investigations of subject and image have been informing the artist�s work over the past several years. "In his Philosophy of Photography, Vilem Flusser talks about degrees of abstraction from a photograph to the object, suggesting the absence of a true evaluation of the role the machine plays in translation from object to image," Blay writes in his artist�s statement. "The way I use technology here is counterintuitive to function, and I believe that the circumventing of technological function in this way emphasizes the fallacy of techno-representation."Inspired by the coup in Liberia in 1980, Microaudiotellarevolution is a stark surreality where Death�s scythe is a reporter�s microphone, his hood a shako, and where soldiers die a million silent deaths and soundbites annihilate logic. The first gallery consists of hyper-flat mises en scene of soldiers and prisoners of war in silhouette on microfilm machines. The room is dimly lit to provide contrast and also to set the appropriate, eerie mood. The pieces work as both literal statements and as examples of early abstract-expressionism. The soldiers imply aggression, helplessness, fear. The warped graph paper across which their surely unenviable fates play out creates a fog through which often only amorphous shapes stand out. The entire room is haunted. Even the machines, of the kind you probably haven�t seen in 50 years, seem to long for the scrapheap. The inert yet dynamic space Blay has created has the aloofness of a news report from the gory frontlines and the quiet intimacy of bedtime story written by David Lynch, Jim Morrison, and Colonel Kurtz.In a side gallery, the viewer unsuspectingly drops into crossfire. Hanging on the wall to his left are several dozen black audio cassette recorders. From each comes the sound of a man talking (or singing incantations). Hanging on the wall to the viewer�s right are headphones. In the middle is a cluster of gas masks with earphones on surrounded by microphones. It�s a press conference in hell.In another dark gallery is a slide show of Blay as dictator. Wearing black sunglasses and an assortment of military garb, the artist/subject looks off into the distance to suggest visionary concepts, he is caught explaining a point above microphones, his hand on his chest as if totally innocent of some crime, he sits on a sunlit sofa, his hands on his knees, surely awaiting some foreign dignitaries or arms dealers. Blay, an imposing bearded figure, certainly looks the part. The artist is bringing death from a place 99-percent of us have never been to and from a time most of us barely remember to the fore of our sheltered, whitebread psyches.Microaudiotellarevolution, though subtle, declaims that the deaths of millions of innocents in overseas power struggles don�t just exist in our TV sets.

Ubuntu 13.04 - Black screen on finish of install.
Hi all,
I have a DEll Latitude E6510 laptop. Two years old.
I have tried to install Ubuntu 13.04 and it won't work.
I run through the process (new fresh install, whole disk, no windows) and at the last after you are instructed to remove the cd and it tries to finish it hangs up. Black screen. The live version works ok.
I don't have a clue as to how to fix this.
Apreciate any help to solve this.
Thanks R.
Just a thought but nomodeset might work-
I used these instructions the other day for Ubuntu 12.10 and it worked for me.;)
The newest kernels have moved the video mode setting into the kernel. So all the programming of the hardware specific clock rates and registers on the video card happen in the kernel rather than in the X driver when the X server starts.. This makes it possible to have high resolution nice looking splash (boot) screens and flicker free transitions from boot splash to login screen. Unfortunately, on some cards this doesnt work properly and you end up with a black screen. Adding the nomodeset parameter instructs the kernel to not load video drivers and use BIOS modes instead until X is loaded.
If you boot ubuntu from a livecd (or USB stick), right after the bios splash screen you will get a purple screen with a keyboard logo at the bottom.
Press any key at that moment to access a menu. Select your language with the arrow keys, press enter and you will see this menu-
If you press the F6 key, a menu at the bottom will open allowing you to set kernel options with the space bar or enter key. You can close the menu with escape key and resume booting by selecting the option "try ubuntu without installing" (please note that session does allow you to install ubuntu once you found the kernel options cured your problem).
If you need to add kernel options not provided by the F6 menu, you can just type them in at the end of the boot options line.
Important: if you select a kernel boot option from the F6 menu and proceed to boot and later install ubuntu, those boot options will NOT be applied to your installation. If you needed nomodeset to get the livecd to boot, you will almost certainly need it again once you reboot in to your fresh install. See below how to set those options on an installed ubuntu.
During the install are you manually creating your own partition and a swap space?
What distribution did you have on your laptop before you tried to install Ubuntu 13.04? Do you have UEFI BIOS?
It is possible that the graphic card could be on it's way out:-
Also, it could be your boot order.
I had to set my laptop to boot to the CD/DVD ROM drive first in order to install Fedora. The next on the boot order list in my BIOS is the HDD-
Thanks for the reply,
I had 11.10 installed previously and my boot order has the CD/DVD ROM as first order.
I don't know what UEFI is so doubt that I have it. I know very little about any of this kernel or hardware stuff.
Since installing 13.04 failed I installed 12.10. It works ok so I would imagine the graphics card is ok. Is this one of the "newest distributions"?
I chose to have Ubuntu re-partition the hard drive.
I'll run 13.04 live again and make sure of what is going on. I thought it worked in live mode.
Thanks, R
If you accepted the defaults in the installation, it should have booted unless you have some unusual and unsupported hardware.
Try 13.04 again and see if the Live CD works.
For future reference, you might check the support period for different versions. For Ubuntu, version 12.04 will be supported for more than three years after support for 13.04 ends so unless something doesn't work or there is some super-duper new software available that you have to have, not much point in installing a newer version.
Yes Ubuntu 13.04 Rairing Ringtail is fairly new.
April 25, 2013 I do believe--
Try again like Yancek advises and let us know what happens.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and it's supported until 2015-;)
Normal Ubuntu releases are supported for 9 months.
If you had UEFI you wouldn't be able to install Ubuntu 12.10. I found this out the hard way and here's how:- I tried to install Ubuntu 12.10 on a brand new build with a brand new mobo that has UEFI BIOS.
The screen stayed black no matter what I tried. But when I ran that same Live CD: "Ubuntu 12.10" on the older desktop of mine that does not have UEFI BIOS it booted on problem and allowed me to interact with the Live CD and install it if I wanted to.
I ran the live cd for 13.04 and it ran fine!!
I installed 13.04 w/o updates and 3rd party software then booted and got a black screen again.
I then booted again and things seem to work although in large format.
I will get the updates and keep going. I don't consider this solved so will be back.
So far, progress.
Thanks, guys/gals
The first update after the fresh install should help.
How is your new distro running now?
SOLVED - I think.
Thanks for your help. I updated the distro and it appears everything is running ok. In that process I had to re-boot and that worked OK.
So, thanks again for for your help guys and girls!!!!
Your Welcome: pizzipie
Have a good week-:)

(CBS News) Did you hear the terrible news? The cassette tape is no more! Okay, I'll admit I haven't actually used a cassette tape in about a decade, but still... all of those amazing mixes I used to make and memories from my youth are gone now. Luckily, one group has decided to pay tribute to the end of an era with a magnificent "mixtape" of their own. You really need to see this one.
So I know I'm bad about using hyperbole sometimes (okay, often), but is that not just a magnificent piece of mashup music? Totally different in style and sound, but on par with another amazing mashup work we featured here on The Feed just last week, for that matter. The magnificent tribute to the cassette tape era is aptly entitled "The Mixtape" and was created by Ithaca Audio who write about it:
Celebrating 50 years of the cassette tape. The format that brought us mixtapes and the birth of home sampling culture.
16 track live mashup performed on a 23 year old Tascam 1" tape machine.
This wonderful work has without a doubt earned Ithaca Audio a big triple-rainbow salute of nostalgia and excellence in music mashups from all of us here at The Feed! And if you'd like to check out more work by Ithaca Audio, be sure to visit their Vimeo page by clicking here.

Full-figured women rely on High Waisted Ripped Skinny Jeans jeans as an essential part of their casual attire. There are many varieties and colors of jeans that are available for this group. If you are a plus size lady you can find jeans that are made for your specific body type whether you are tall or short, pear-shaped or well-rounded. There is a jean available that will emphasize your best attributes and camouflage your flaws. The right fitting jean is a great addition to any wardrobe.
It is important to accept the shape and size of your body, and get over the fact that you are not a size 6 or 8, before you go shopping for a pair of jeans. When you do not accept yourself, they are negative thoughts, and they will make you have a negative image about yourself. Focus on the fact that you are a healthy woman. This will make it easier to find a pair of jeans that is so you!
It depends upon the manufacturer, of course, but larger size jeans usually come in sizes 14 to 28. Size 14 in a plus size garment generally corresponds to a 16 regular. Larger size dungarees are offered with "Misses" measurements and with "Junior" measurements. The former term means that the legs are looser, the hip section is wider, and the waistband sits higher than it does in the Juniors.
Jeans in a "junior" cut fit snugly in the leg and sit low on the waist. They are rather form-fitting, and full-figured shoppers should try on both jean cuts, taking into consideration their comfort and style, as well as the look. Model the different cuts in a full-length mirror, or, better yet, a three-way mirror, so that you can evaluate the fit from a number of perspectives. Make sure you are completely satisfied in every way before you buy. There is no best cut-it is a personal choice.
Full figured women who have a "pear" shape prefer boot cut jeans. A pear shaped body can be described as being biggest in the middle section (from the lower part of the stomach to the upper thighs).
Boot cut jeans are popular because they de-emphasize the longer part of the body, which is a slimming look. Boot cut jeans generally look better with shoes with a heel or even platform shoes instead of shoes with a flat heel.
Tapered jeans usually do not look good on a plus size woman and should be avoided, unless you really want to draw attention to the least liked parts of your body. Tapered style bottoms should really be reserved for the very thin girls.
The European clothing company, Edwin, has long since carved its niche in both women and men's designer clothing. Great looking distressed and vintage jeans, stylish tees and shoes and versatility are just a few of the hallmarks of the nearly half century old company. Founded in Japan, it's all about authentic and crisp looks born of unique visions and a dedication of keeping the world's love affair with denim front and center. Edwin followers are treated to great fits that stand the test of time, courtesy of the attention to detail and drive for perfection. The results of these efforts were remarkable and ever since, people from around the globe have scrambled to ensure they own the latest from this impressive men's clothing company (Edwin also has an impressive line of women's clothing, too). So just what do Edwin's design efforts bring forth in men's clothing? See for yourself -
The European Core offers what are perhaps the best chinos to be found. Slim fit with tapered leg - a must have for khaki pants - ensure a great fit. They also showcase a low front rise and copper wash rivet reinforcements. Weighing 6.5 ounces, these heavy stonewash pants are also available in black.
There are plenty of denim styles to go around, too. Jeans lovers just can't get enough of these vintage looks. Denim that's incredibly durable and shows just enough wear and tear to ensure that worn look is what works so well. Slim fitting, regular fit and a host of small details that separate it from the pack of other design labels that try, but always fall short.
Ready for summer? Kick it off with Edwin shorts. They include rolled up hems, reminiscent of the 80s, classic zip fly shorts and reinforced back pockets. Want attention to detail? The doughnut button fly definitely completes the look.
These are just a few of the many Edwin styles available. Its global following have made them a favorite choice for men's clothing in every country. Here for the long haul, Edwin has definitely made its mark.
The right pair of denim jeans may be the single most important piece of clothing in your wardrobe and will without a doubt be the most versatile piece in your collection. Plus size denim lines are ever increasing and the trend focused options available in standard sizing are rapidly becoming available for the plus size community. From your favorite tee to a kimono top, your entire look can be changed without ever taking off your denim. However, what looks stylish and sexy on one woman, makes another one look frumpy or outdated. So, how do you know what's right for you? Below are some basic guidelines to follow when shopping for the perfect piece of denim.
The golden rule is: Know what thyself is workin with! If you got it flaunt it, accentuate the positives. Booty like J Lo? Mile long legs? These are the features you want to accentuate. Work with different washes and of the minute denim shapes like boot-cut and wide leg that enhance your favorite features.
What is your body style? Wide Hips, avoid the temptation of drowning yourself in relaxed fit jeans, they will only add inches where you're trying to lose them. Instead draw the eye down and balance the body with a pair of slight flare boot-cut jeans in a mid rise that's fitted throughout the hips. If you have short legs, make sure you pay attention to the length; this is one of the most important aspects when choosing a pair of jeans. Denim should be about a half of an inch above the ground when wearing heels or flats. Darker washes, with a front crease from the knee to the hem, also elongate your legs. A new option re-emerging is the higher waist trouser jean, which not only slims, but creates the illusion of mile long legs. Girls with a boyish figure or a body style considered to be rectangular will want to opt for a cut that will add the illusion of having curves, such as a mid-rise flare leg jean, where the denim is fitted through the hips and thigh, with the flare beginning above the knee.
The devil is in the details; you will want to consider different details of the jean itself. A fan of distressing and aged denim? Make sure not to go overboard. Extreme fading or jeans that appear to be destroyed may be popular with 15 year old pop tarts, but in reality can look tacky and dated. Dark denim in a crisp shape is always chic, as is a medium wash with well placed whiskering. Pay attention to pocket shape and angle. Hexagonal shapes that angle in towards the center tend to work best in creating a heart shaped booty for any body. Pockets placed slightly higher on the tush tend to make a flat booty look perkier and higher. Flap, or cargo pockets, also add some oomph to a small tush. Long pockets that pass the bottom of the tush are fantastic for shaping and lifting an ample booty. Avoid excess fading on the butt and the thighs, as they will make these areas look larger. Also pay attention to a lot of whiskering around the zipper area, which can also accentuate the hips. When considering rise, most women will be best served by a mid rise (a few inches below your belly button).
When choosing the right pair of plus size denim know your body type first and foremost, it is the basis of your search. Know which styles will work with your type and most importantly, what makes you feel fabulous.
The fashion world is a fickle mistress. Things go in and out daily. One day the fashion gurus are declaring that plaid is the new black and suddenly all over New York City mannequins covered in plaid from head to toe suddenly appear in store windows up and down the Garment district. Fashion is fleeting but every now and then a style emerges that takes hold in the minds and hearts of fashion critics the world over. These consistent fashions are giants in a crowd of diminutive and evanescent fashion trends. One of these dependable fashion trends is that of distressed jeans.
Distressed denim is the name for jeans that are designed and manufactured to appear well worn. As if they'd been worn to a hundred rock and roll concerts or washed and folded a thousand times. This style represents the laissez faire, laid-back mentality of today's generation. If the smiley face t-shirt defined the 90s its clear that the distressed jean will define the 2000s. Hundreds of thousands of twenty something's walk the streets of New York City wearing graphic tees and distressed denim jeans and this trend shows no signs of stopping.
How can one get in on this fashion trend? It's easy. There are two options. The first option is to buy a pair of non-distressed jeans and wear them until they're falling apart at the seams. This option is cost-effective but the reality is who really wants a pair of jeans that are falling apart at the seams? The second option is far more pragmatic. Quite simple one could simply buy jeans styled to look and feel like well worn jeans but with the dependability one would assume comes along with buying brand new denim jeans. If one were to take advantage of the second option they'd be able to enjoy the best of both worlds! Comfortable and dependable fashion all rolled up into one.
