About anonymouse
educated redneck, individualist, coffee-snob.
i'm still not clear why we need more laws when the gov't seems to be in opposition to the constitution currently. how will an imperfect law which addresses only a portion of the problem be a help? is it only because there isn't any recourse against agencies transgressing the limits of the constitution?
this excerpt from the US Declaration of Independence might be a good test measuring today's true Freedom of Speech:
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government"
seems as though from the beginning of our nation we have made provision for 'firing' our government and 'hiring' new.
"we completely"
did it make things much worse when we completed removed the existing gov't back in 1776? i agree that it certainly made things much more tenuous in the short term, but since then we have enjoyed over 200 years of unequaled civil liberty because of that action. only recently (past 20 years?) has a serious erosion of those liberties taken place.
i remember an old comic picturing a puppy dog sitting on a bench crying huge tears. another asked him why he was crying, he replied "because i'm sitting on a nail." when asked why he didn't move off of it, the puppy dog said "because it doesn't hurt bad enough yet." this seems fairly analogous our nation's situation.
i wasn't really thinking of secret suppression by the oil companies, i was thinking of the economic principle of crowding out.
are more concerned with bolstering their positions and circles of influence than they are with doing the job they were elected to do. it's a natural consequence of the huge benefits (both social and economic) and kickbacks they receive in those elected positions.
the current trend is not good at all, but shouldn't be surprising, considering that our populace (in general) becomes increasingly self-serving and insular with each generation. remember, these elected positions are filled from our own populace. they are a true representation of our integrity and willingness to serve.
hmmm, looks like i'm hanging out amongst the trolls here...as an american, i don't have a problem with other nations taking a shot at USA, since it seems to be common practice already. i do have a problem with double standards, like nations in trouble asking for and receiving help from us, only later to denigrate us for "interfering".
the USA is far from perfect, or even close to good at times, but we are very generous in the amount of foreign aid we scatter around the globe.
from a research and development view, oil is a liability for the USA. we've pretty much reached the end of exciting hydrocarbon development, but the powerful oil lobby in our gov't tends to displace a distressing amount of potentially viable energy research and development.
i love my internal combustion car (VW Jetta TDI, go diesel!), but am impatient to see some of the other techs emphasized...ie: gen 3 and 4 fission reactors.
Polk County Advisory: All persecutors will be violated...charges pending.
and so far neither politicians nor journalists have done much to earn my trust. politicians (in general) have always been swayed by lobbyists, and journalists (in general) have always been tempted more by recognition and personal/corporate gain than altruism. lesser of two evils...likely journalists, since they will be scrutinized by their competitors very closely.
liquid metal cooled reactors, and breeder reactors are feasible, safe, and used together create a nearly closed fuel cycle. ie. very little spent fuel to handle at the end of the cycle. france also has a vitrification process (that they stole from us, good on them) operating which further simplifies storage of spent fuel.
we've had these technologies for decades now, but scare-mongering by the media and political weakness has mothballed it, so france stole the technology and has been using it. again, good on them.
so, if in fact police are not required "constitutionally" to protect persons, one of two things must happen. either police departments are required to write their own requirements for officers' conduct, or we must get rid of a LOT of police.
no duty to protect = superfluous police force.
here's a quote from a Thomas Jefferson letter to John Adams:
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty & property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information.Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.
Because the government holds your items, whatever they may be, has always meant that those items are not safe nor secure.
amen. let that be heard again please. governments don't have rights, people do.
fyi - name calling and belittling people with whom you disagree removes credibility from your opinion.
Economics relies on nebulous factors such as confidence, and sense of well-being to be considered truly scientific. Those mercurial pieces of economic foundation will always trump analysis and fact.
your argument is proof positive that we don't deserve individual rights anymore. the "cornerstone" of a living, thriving civilization isn't "order". a civilization that is founded completely on "order" is a stagnant civilization that is at the end of the life cycle. which seems to describe us, sadly.
the cornerstone of civilization is an ebbing and flowing balance between order and random change (chaos). from a long range view of public best interest, there has to be chaos involved to cultivate growth and development of a civilization. what we're offered under the disguise of "safety" is a slow death of decay. it's unattractive.
it's interesting how often this phrase is used as a disguise for the real intent of government intervention which is; control the public.
our juggernaut government's main purpose is to control public interest and focus so that the government may continue to grow and thrive. the people are the fuel source, the government is the feeding organism. -_-
i'm glad someone finally mentioned that word. it seems like a reasonable thing to think that people who value individual rights (ie. anti-copyrightists) could see past their own individual agendas to value all individual rights, not just their own pet issues. if that COULD happen, then the libertarian party might get enough traction to actually make an impact.

A major investment in the future of women in technology industries is being made by an all too uncommon new start-up accelerator called Women Innovate Mobile (WIM). It is WIM's intention is to foster women entrepreneurs, provide constructive feedback, and to assist start-ups in managing a long list of business concerns related to running a mobile development company in addition to concerns related to being a female entrepreneur.
Earlier this month WIM began accepting applications from companies owned or co-owned by a woman and a product associated with mobile technology. WIM is offering office space free of charge to two to five mobile start-ups. Included in the package is investment capital, and access to mentoring and leadership skills. Education regarding networking skills is also an item on the agenda when a company decides to participate in an accelerator program; providing one of the many entrepreneurial women seeking assistance access to networks and other support systems previously inaccessible to many small business owners. Before the inception of WIM, women were even more seriously underserved by male dominated business accelerators. Women Innovate Mobile is first such accelerator dedicated to female enfranchisement in the mobile tech world.
Start ups are on the rise this year; they are anticipated to reach the highest numbers seen in fifteen years. Even with positive numbers like that, women only represent thirty-five percent of start-up owners. A trend WIM intends to see turned around and more balance between men and women owned new start-up companies. In the interest of fostering that balance WIM is focusing on mobile tech companies. WIM would of course love to see the next generation of mobile technology, applications and devices, come from one of these groups nurtured by the emergent acceleration program. With most investors still being men some women are resistant to asking for help, WIM works hard to increase visibility and approachability amongst women and the sources of capital funds to a realize entrepreneurial goals.
The efforts of WIM and similar organization have seen success promoting women owned startups are responsible for the small three percent growth in overall ownership. They believe they have much more work to do to accomplish their exponentially more far-reaching long-term goals. With help from other start-ups and successful venture capitalists may very well see their goal realized sooner rather than later. Seeing as employment levels in the United States is below appropriate levels according to anyone personal metrics. Seeing growth in business startup activity is music to the ears of investors and economists all over the world. Seeing that growth fueled by entrepreneurial women should be as likely and it should occur just as often as any other group of dedicated business developers.

Want to explore the behind-the-scenes magic of New Orleans' most unique cultural and spiritual event of the year, the infamous Mardi Gras? Since 1947, Blaine Kern Studios has opened the doors of Mardi Gras World to locals and tourists alike to give them a peek inside all the craftsmanship, technology, and soul that goes into creating the ultimate Carnival experience.
Imagine walking within arm's length of 20-foot papier-mâché sculptures of mythical beings like Zeus or Thor, or a giant jester with a hat and bells that feature nearly every vibrant color you can imagine? These magnificent works of art have donned the fronts and backs of parade floats for as long as any of us have been standing along St. Charles Ave or Canal St with our families and friends, waiting for them to pass.
Growing up in this city, since we were kids we had favorite parades, and even favorite floats and characters. Costumed riders returned our, "Throw me somethin', Mister!" with handfuls of beads, doubloons, trinkets, stuffed animals, spears, frisbees, and more. But what's lasted most in our memories aren't the trinkets and plastic beads—it's the picturesque, awe-inspiring, and sometimes even hilarious float designs that's captured our hearts.
Mardi Gras World offers guided tours through these rows and rows of towering, fantastical float designs, sculptures, and costumes. You'll even get to see the impressive technology that animates the very mega floats we ogle on the parade routes. Plus, bits of Carnival lore and the history of Mardi Gras are weaved into the tour for a little lagniappe.
From concept to completion, Blaine Kern Studios does it all, to the delight of parade-goers around the world. You can see their marvelous work in parades in many international cities .
Mardi Gras World is located off of Convention Center Blvd on the East Bank of the city. Their tours run seven days a week from 9:30am till 4:30pm, and they last about an hour. They even have a café with seating right on the Mississippi if you want to stay for lunch.

How to Grow Amaranth in Brundidge, Alabama, United States of America
How to grow amaranth: Most gardeners grow amaranth from seed directly sown outside in the ground
Sow amaranth seeds 0.6 inches (1.4 cm) deep. Optimal soil temperature for germination is between 60.3°F (15.7°C) and 68.9°F (20.5°C). Seeds will germinate in 5-10 days.
Amaranth requires 65-70 days to be ready for harvest from seed, depending on the amaranth variety and the weather during the growing season.
Optimal day air temperature for growing amaranths is between 70.4°F (21.3°C) and 72.8°F (22.7°C). Optimal night temperatures are between 68°F (20°C) and 69.8°F (21°C). Amaranths can endure air temperatures as low as 59°F (15°C) during the night and up to 80.6°F (27°C) during the day.
Soil temperature during amaranth growth should be between 70°F (21.1°C) and 75°F (23.9°C) in optimal conditions, but can withstand soil temperatures as low as 50°F (10°C).
Required soil pH for amaranth growth is 5.5-7.0 but the optimal pH is 6.0-6.9.
Optimal sunlight for amaranth is 6-12 hours per day. Amaranths should be watered between 1.0-1.1 inches (2.6-2.7 cm) of water per week, adjusting for weather conditions and type of soil accordingly.
Amaranth spacing: When planting amaranth seeds directly into the ground sow seeds 0.6 inches (1.4 cm) deep spaced 9 inches (22.8 cm) apart with rows spaced 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart.
How to grow amaranths in your garden: Many gardeners grow amaranth for their sprouts. In this case there is no need for seed spacing or row spacing as most will be harvested before plant matures.
Amaranth greens are also grown and harvested as greens. Select those amaranth varieties that are suitable for greens! It is recommended to apply more nitrogen and phosphorous when growing amaranth greens. When harvesting cut 2-3 inches above ground level. Assuming optimal growing conditions are maintained plant will continue to grow more greens.
For amaranth seed or grain allow the plant to flower and reach maturity. The seeds or what is referred to as amaranth grain is within the flower, so harvest carefully.

About amaranth: a book could be written about amaranth, and probably has, about this leaf vegetable and grain that has been cultivated as a grain for almost 8000 years. Amaranth was a staple item of pre-Colombian Aztecs who believed that it contained supernatural powers and incorporated it to their diet and their religious ceremonies.
Many people have not heard of amaranth, but it's definitely a plant you need to grow, or at least consider, growing in your garden for three reasons: One - it's relatively easy to grow. Two - Amaranth leaves are considered very healthy, rich in calcium and iron. Amaranth leaves are nutritionally similar to beets, swiss chard and spinach, but are much superior, containing three times more calcium and vitamin B3 than spinach leaves. Three - Amaranth flowers are made up of tiny, grain-like buds, which is why this plant often falls into the "grain" category, and they are a highly nutritious gluten-free "grain".
You can find amaranth grain in many health food stores being sold in the form of amaranth flour and the popped seeds are sold as amaranth cereal. Amaranth seed is high in protein, contains lysine and methionine, two essential amino acids that are not often found in grain, and is high in fiber - three times that of wheat!
Technically though amaranth is a seed, not a grain. Cultivated versions of the amaranth can be light or dark green colored or have a "reddish" color with purple veins. Grain varieties can reach heights of up to six or seven feet tall. The seeds are tiny and their colors can range from gold to black.
Once the flower head has mostly dried up, cut it, and shake the seeds out into a paper bag, which will also provide you with seeds for the next couple of growing seasons. Harvest the amaranth leaves during their entire growing season. The young leaves have a milder flavor and are good to use in salads, and the mature leaves are treated like spinach, mostly cooked and added to dishes. Enjoy!
Use these images to know if your amaranth is heading in the right direction and growing properly. Exact number of growing days varies for each amaranth variety. Below is the average number of days for each stage gathered from many different varieties.
Amaranth Germination Guide
(Stage 1: Germination)
Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. It is the first stage of the plant growing process and it begins when the seed is sown and ends when the radicale emerges out of the seed.
All seeds require proper soil temperature, moisture, air and light conditions to germinate successfully. However, during the germination stage the seeds require more soil warmth and moisture than light exposure.
Seeds respire just like any other living organism, requiring oxygen and producing carbon dioxide (CO2), so it is crucial to use a soil media that is sufficiently aerated so that the seeds do not "suffocate".
100% of our growing experts recommend to directly sow amaranth seeds into the ground. What is direct sowing and why do I care about it?

Amaranth Growing Guide
(Stages 2-5: Growth)
Once seed has germinated and radicale has emerged the second stage of the plant growing process begins, developing from radicale to cotyledon -the embryonic first leaves of the seed forming a young seedling.
During the third stage of plant development cotyledon develops to 3-4 true leaves, stem begins to grow, becoming a mature seedling.
In the fourth stage the mature seedling develops to a young plant, ready for transplanting.
The fifth stage of plant development the plant is fully mature bearing fruit and/or flower.
The following guidelines apply to all of the amaranth plants' needs during stages 2-5 from radicale emergence to full maturity. During these stages sunlight becomes a more active participant in plant growth and development than in the germination phase.
Soil pH is an important factor during these stages as well. What is pH and why is it important?

How difficult is it to grow amaranth?
Growing amaranth, or any other vegetable for that matter, is not hard, however some plants require more attention and care than others depending on the following factors:
Are you starting to grow your plant from seed? seedling? young plant? Depending on what stage plant you choose to plant will impact growing difficulty and patience.
The length of the growing season for your exact garden location.
If you have a short growing season and you want to start growing from seed then you may need to start the growing process in a sheltered environment (greenhouse or inside your home) which will require more involvement in the growing process.
Whether you direct sow in the garden or start in trays and then transplant also affects the level of difficulty
Growing difficulty level - 0
Growing patience level - 0

This is in response to John Lage's letter, "Lage questions Taylor's points," published in the June 29 edition of The Lancaster News.
Mr. Lage, I have no intention of a back-and-forth with you; however, I must respond to three of your statements.
One: Your lack of understanding my repudiating your statement that to liberals the Constitution is "just a scrap of paper."
After attending the July 14 County Council meeting, I realized that the meetings between the citizens of Lancaster County and the Capital Project Sales Tax Commission were a well-staged side show.
County Council sent the tax commissioners out to all the areas of Lancaster County to hear what the people wanted to spend the 1 percent sales tax on, knowing all along that no matter what they came back with, it would be nothing but paving roads.
It was just a dog-and-pony show – make the people think you care, then do what you had planned all along.
Do we really need a tax increase? I'm just a retired truck driver and live off of University Drive. Maybe we need to review how we operate city equipment before we ask our city officials for a tax increase. This increase is to make up for city garbage having a $250,000 short fall.
We have purchased a very expensive truck that only picks up receptacles on its right side. I have watched it operate for five or six weeks. It basically runs the route twice to accomplish what the old truck did in one pass of the street.
I wonder if parents know where their children are during the summer months when they are out of school. My mailbox was hit twice in four weeks. Fingerprints have been taken both times. Too bad fingerprints aren't taken when people apply for driver's licenses.

Being an antique collector of old radios, I found myself in search of a repairman three years ago. What was amazing is that I did and he just so happened to live right here in Indian Land.
Not only is Dave De Betta a great repairman, but full of knowledge of interesting information about other antique tidbits of radios, record players and TVs.
One of the things he exposed me to enjoy the sound coming out of my antique radios was a wonderful radio station here in our area. If you have never tuned in, I beg you to. It is WAVO 1150 AM.
Reading W.B. Evans' columns causes me to reflect on my past years, especially the 1950s and 1960s.
Drinks were in returnable bottles and they tasted a lot better than the ones of today.
Bob Lambert ran a moving company at a store that was run by Curly Briscoe. Mama would send me to the store and I could buy a candy bar for 5 cents. Back then, you could get four pork chops for 75 cents. Curly and his wife were two of the nicest people I've ever met.
The Van Wyck post office was the subject of a community meeting July 9.
The meeting was scheduled to be held at the post office, but was moved to the community center, due to threatening weather and the large crowd trying to fit into our tiny "village post office."
It seems that small towns across America are losing the heart of their community as the U.S. Postal Service downsizes, closing or drastically reducing counter service hours.
I would like to thank Boggs Paving Co. for fixing a road that badly needing fixing – Boxcar Road. I live on Boxcar Road and I am so glad that we don't have to dodge all of the potholes. Thank you, again.
Now, if we could just get Riverside Road and a lot of other roads in Lancaster fixed.
Betty L. Bailey
I applaud and encourage the insightful and informative guest columns submitted by Brooks Walker and frequently published on the opinion page of The Lancaster News.
Many should – and no doubt do – appreciate the well-written, well-cited facts that he presents in a direct, creditable manner.
In the June 29 edition, his column, "There's a time when loyalty is not a virtue," his skillful analogy of the Nordic lemming to the low-informed voter is of particular note in its creativity and in its merit.
On Aug. 2, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott will host a special ceremony in Columbia to honor South Carolina's Vietnam War era veterans for their service to our country.
During the ceremony at the First Baptist Church of Columbia, 1306 Hampton St., Medal of Honor recipient Maj. Gen. James Everett Livingston, retired from U.S. Marine Corps, will deliver the keynote address. Military bands from around South Carolina will perform and military artifacts and memorabilia from the era will be on display.

Patriot Act
The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001—The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (more commonly known as simply the Patriot Act) -- is an anti-terrorism bill written in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. It was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 45 days after the terrorist attacks. The primary purpose of the bill was to provide law enforcement with the tools it needs to fight the domestic war on terror. The bill expanded the definitions of other crime-fighting bills to include terrorists, it provided funds to the Justice Department for fighting terrorism, and, made broad changes to surveillance and intelligence procedures.
Certain provisions of the Patriot Act for expanded use of surveillance coupled with FISA abuse were used by the Obama administration to spy on the 2016 Trump campaign and Trump transition.
The Patriot Act at the time of its passage was often confused by mainstream media with the Authorization for Use of Military Force (P.L. 107-40) in Iraq,[1] which allows the President to use "all necessary and appropriate force" against 9/11-related terrorism (and was the basis for Guantanamo-related issues).
Key parts of the PATRIOT Act expired on June 1, 2015, due to lack of congressional approval. This included Section 215, which pertains to the ability of the National Security Agency to store records of all phone calls made in the United States. This was amended in the USA Freedom Act, passed on June 2, 2015, which gives the phone companies control of the record and the government would then have to receive a warrant to receive records of a number associated with any terrorism.
Passage of the Act
Attorney General John Ashcroft formally proposed the increases in law enforcement powers on September 19, requesting that they be considered immediately. Bush administration, along with the overwhelming majority of members of Congress, felt these provisions were necessary to prevent any more imminent or future attacks. Many of the proposed powers had been sought by the Justice Department for years (the Clinton administration, for example, sought but was denied so-called roving wiretaps – a power that was included in the final bill), but in the wake of a successful attack upon American soil and the demands of the American public for action gave Congress the impetus to pass the measures.[2]
The House Judiciary Committee debated the proposal for weeks and reached an agreement on October 2, with few minor changes. A sunset provision, the hallmark of Gingrich-style reform, was included requiring renewal of the act within two years. The committee said that it understood the need for expediency, so it would add the sunset clauses to allow debate on the issue when time was not as much of an issue. The administration, however, was worried that the United States would still be fighting the war on terror when the clause came into effect.[3]
The Democratically controlled Senate version of the bill went more in favor of the White House. While the bill was never considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee, the committee's chair Patrick J. Leahy, a Democrat from Vermont, along with members from both parties met with the Bush Administration to negotiate a bill that the Senate and White House could agree on. This version (finalized on October 4) did not include a sunset provision, and it allowed lower barriers for obtaining search warrants. Additionally it gave the federal government new tools to fight money laundering.[2]
The Senate passed its version of the bill with a 96-1 vote (only Senator Russ D. Feingold, a Democrat from Wisconsin voted nay) after just three hours of debate on October 11. The House revised its version of the bill to make it a little more to the Administration's and Senate's liking than the version approved by the House Judiciary Committee, including moving the date of the sunset back three years, to 2006. The Senate agreed to the sunset provision and this version passed the House the next day by a massive 337-79 vote. The House and Senate reconciled an agreement between the two versions (including changing the sunset date to December 31, 2005) and sent the bill, now officially known as the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, back to their respective chambers, where it passed 357-66 in the House on October 24 and 98-1 in the Senate (with Senator Feingold dissenting) a day later. It was signed into law by President Bush on the following day, 37 days after the original proposal to Congress.[2]
Domestic surveillance
The Patriot Act fights foreign spy networks, terrorist organizations, and criminal organizations in three main ways: disrupting funding, improving methods of prosecution, and expanding surveillance procedures and intelligence sharing. There were other minor parts, such as setting up a fund in the Treasury Department to reimburse the Department of Justice for fighting terrorism and a section which condemns discrimination against Muslims and Arab Americans.[4] Most of the provisions deal directly with terrorism, but some have broader applicability, and some are not related to terrorism at all.
Roving Wiretaps
The first step in disrupting an organization is finding the subjects before they can successfully act on a plot to attack the United States. The Patriot Act provides the means for the federal government to gather intelligence on these plots, primarily through wiretaps and search warrants. One such provision is the so-called roving wiretaps provision. Roving wiretaps themselves are not new, they have been use investigating crime since 1986; the Patriot act simply extends this tool to gathering intelligence of terrorists.[5] Before roving wiretaps, the FBI would need to get a separate FISC (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court) warrant for each method of communication used by a suspect. This means that if the suspect switched phones or used public computers the FBI would need to get multiple warrants. The Patriot Act allows for FISC warrants on a specific person, rather than a single specific phone line as under the old law. This means that the FBI could get one warrant, and tap whatever line the suspect happens to be using at the time.[5]
Sneak and Peek Warrants
Another tool provided by the Patriot Act is delayed-notification search warrants, or sneak and peek warrants.[6] These are warrants which allow for the execution of a search and seizure of a property in a federal crime without notification of the subject. The government must show the court "reasonable cause" to believe that notifying the suspect would lead to an "adverse result" such as destruction of evidence, intimidation of a witness, or jeopardizing the investigation. "Reasonable cause" is not defined in the act. Sneak and peek warrants, like roving wiretaps, have been used in the past under other circumstances, but they had never before been allowed to retrieve physical evidence, only information or photographs of a scene.[6]
Libraries Provision
A third tool provided by the Patriot Act is the so-called "libraries provision," sometimes just called Section 215. Section 215 broadens the FBI's power to seize records of activities, specifically business records. Before the Act, the FBI could only subpoena "hotels, motels, car and truck rental agencies, and storage rental facilities," but these powers were expanded through the act to include records from any place of business.[7] Section 215 also expands the items the FBI can obtain to include "any tangible things (including books, records, papers, documents, and other items)."[7] The Act also loosens the requirements to procure a warrant. Whereas before the FBI had to show evidence that the subject under surveillance was a foreign power or agent thereof, after the act, the FBI simply has to assert that the seizure is for a foreign intelligence investigation, clandestine intelligence activities or to protect against international terrorism. There is no requirement for an evidential hearing. Section 215 is called the libraries provision because it could potentially be used to subpoena a list of books checked out from a library, or a list of websites visited at a library computer, all without notifying the suspect.[7]
Intelligence Sharing
The Patriot Act also has several provisions which allow for information and intelligence to be better shared among the investigative and intelligence agencies. The Act allowed information about suspect activities to be shared between federal, state and local governments, as it was previously allowed for other types of crimes. It also allowed for adding DNA samples of terrorists and other violent offenders to the national database which already includes DNA samples of other certain crimes.[4]
Money Laundering
Another way the Patriot Act protects national security is by cutting off sources of illegal funding, which it does by attempting to curtail money laundering. The act requires all monetary institutions (the definition of which is very broad; it includes pawn brokers, insurance agencies, and diamond dealers) to enact a four part program.[8] The institution must appoint a compliance officer, establish a training program to recognize money laundering, establish a testing or auditing program to evaluate the accuracy of laundering detection and establish policies to avoid being used to launder money.[8]
Definition of Terrorism
Finally, the Patriot Act expands upon the definition of terrorism to include acts which were previously not part of federal law. It makes illegal terrorist acts against mass transportation systems as well as harboring terrorists or persons one knows or should know to be terrorists. The Act also expands the definition of conspiracy to allow for conspiracies in other types of crime, such as arson, and creates a definition of domestic terrorist (someone who commits an offence which is "(1) dangerous to human life and violate[s] the criminal laws of the United States or any state; and (2) appear[s] to be intended (or have the effect) – to intimidate a civilian population; influence government policy by intimidation or coercion; or affect government conduct by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping (or a threat of)").[4]
Sixteen sections of the original bill were set to expire on December 31, 2001, unless Congress decided to extend them or make them permanent. These sections were all from Title II of the act, the title which contained surveillance procedures, including the controversial ones mentioned above. After months of wrangling, negotiation, and debate (and two deadline extensions) Congress finally on March 2, 2006 passed a bill which renewed the Patriot Act but implemented additional safeguards for civil liberties.[9] Most of the measures were permanent, but the roving wiretap provision was extended only until 2009. Section 215, the libraries provision, was also extended to 2009, but now recipients of the FISA warrant may petition the government after one year to remove the gag order. Key parts of the Act expired on June 1, 2015, in a special Sunday session, due to lack of action, but most of these provisions were restored due to the USA Freedom Act's passage the following day.
The Department of Justice, now headed by Attorney General Eric Holder, says that the Patriot Act has been a useful tool in finding and dismantling terrorist organizations and plots. It has disrupted over 150 terrorist threats and cells, incapacitated over 3,000 terrorists, broken up five terror cells within U.S. borders, charged 401 individuals on terror charges and convicted 212,[10] though the department does not differentiate between those captured through the new provisions of the Patriot Act, and those who were discovered by other means.

The return of linebacker Brian Orakpo to the Redskins defense is a reason for optimism on Washington, so his absence from practice on Friday was less than ideal.
Orakpo picked up an injury in practice on Thursday, but it has nothing to do with the torn pectoral that knocked him out last season and it doesn't look like it will keep him on the sideline for any significant period of time. Orakpo took a knee to the thigh while defending a run play and said Friday that he's optimistic that there's no serious injury.
"I'm good. I'm real good. Just stuff, you get nicked up in camp, so just precaution. You've got to be smart," Orakpo said, via Mike Jones of the Washington Post. "I'm not sure what the staff wants, but we'll figure it out. It's a day-to-day process with this. I had a knee to the quad, so once it calms down, we'll see where we're at."
Coach Mike Shanahan said that there's been no determination made about Orakpo's status for Monday night's game against the Steelers, although there's probably not too much urgency to push Orakpo too far after experiencing life without him last season.

24 Kan. App. 2d 450
No. 77,418
ERIC A. VOTH, Appellant, v. LARRY D. COLEMAN, MARY C. JACKSON, ROSIE M. QUINN, RICHARD CARNEY, HOSEA ELLIS SOWELL, and ARTHUR P. TALIAFERRO, Appellees.
A cause of action for malicious prosecution accrues on the final day on which an appeal could have been filed in the original action.
Appeal from Shawnee District Court; TERRY L. BULLOCK, judge. Opinion filed October 10, 1997. Reversed.
David R. Cooper, of Fisher, Patterson, Sayler & Smith, L.L.P., of Topeka, for appellant.
No appearance for appellees.
Before GREEN, P.J., ROYSE, J., and WAHL, S.J.
GREEN, J.: Dr. Eric A. Voth sued Larry D. Coleman, Mary C. Jackson, Rosie M. Quinn, Richard Carney, Hosea Ellis Sowell, and Dr. Arthur P. Taliaferro (defendants) for malicious prosecution. Coleman and Taliaferro moved to dismiss the action based on the applicable statute of limitations. In agreeing that the statute of limitations had run on Voth's claim, the trial court dismissed the suit. On appeal, Voth contends that the trial court erred in determining that his claim was barred by the statute of limitations. We agree and reverse the judgment of the trial court.
The malicious prosecution action stemmed from Voth's testimony before the Kansas Board of Healing Arts (Board) in 1988. At a hearing before the Board, Voth opined that because Taliaferro's prescription practices were inappropriate, they presented an imminent danger to his patients. As a result, the Board limited Taliaferro's privilege to prescribe certain drugs. Because of the Board's action, Taliaferro sued Voth and various members of the Board in the United States District Court.
On August 20, 1992, the federal district court granted summary judgment in favor of Voth. Appealing that judgment, Taliaferro filed a notice of appeal to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. When the Tenth Circuit denied Taliaferro's appeal on April 20, 1994, Taliaferro moved for a rehearing. The Tenth Circuit denied that motion on May 24, 1994. On June 23, 1995, Voth sued the defendants for malicious prosecution.
Voth argues that because the trial court considered matters outside the pleadings, the motion to dismiss must be treated as one for summary judgment under K.S.A. 60-212(c). We agree. Our standard of review of a motion for summary judgment is clear. K.S.A. 60-256(c) provides that summary judgment shall be granted "if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." Moreover,
|"[w]here the defendant pleads a statute of limitation and moves for summary judgment and it appears that the action is barred by the appropriate statute of limitation and there is no genuine issue as to any material fact in connection with such statute, then the motion should be granted." Hartman v. Stumbo, 195 Kan. 634, Syl. ¶ 2, 408 P.2d 693 (1965).
The question that we are asked to decide is when did Voth's action for malicious prosecution accrue? The determination as to when a cause of action for malicious prosecution accrues raises a question of statutory interpretation over which this court has unlimited review. See State v. Donlay, 253 Kan. 132, Syl. ¶ 1, 853 P.2d 680 (1993).
To maintain an action for malicious prosecution of a civil action, the plaintiff must prove: (1) that defendant initiated, continued, or procured the proceeding of which complaint is made; (2) that defendant in doing so acted without probable cause; (3) that defendant acted with malice; (4) that the proceeding terminated in favor of the plaintiff; and (5) that plaintiff sustained damages. Lindenman v. Umscheid, 255 Kan. 610, 624, 875 P.2d 964 (1994); Nelson v. Miller, 227 Kan. 271, 276, 607 P.2d 438 (1980); Hutchinson Travel Agency, Inc. v. McGregor, 10 Kan. App. 2d 461, 463-64, 701 P.2d 977, rev. denied 238 Kan. 877 (1985); H & H Farms, Inc. v. Hazlett, 6 Kan. App. 2d 263, 269, 627 P.2d 1161 (1981) .
Voth agrees with the trial court's conclusion that an action for malicious prosecution is subject to a 1-year statute of limitations under K.S.A. 60-514(b). Nevertheless, Voth contends that his cause of action for malicious prosecution did not accrue until August 22, 1994, the last day for Taliaferro to file a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court. Under United States Supreme Court Rule 13.1, (28 U.S.C. App. 929 [1994]), a petition for writ of certiorari may be timely filed within 90 days following the entry of judgment "in any case, civil or criminal, entered by a state court of last resort or a United States court of appeals." The August 22, 1994, date would have been the 90th day following the Tenth Circuit's denial of Taliaferro's petition for rehearing.
In disagreeing with Voth's contention that his action for malicious prosecution did not accrue until 90 days after the denial of Taliaferro's motion for rehearing, the trial court stated:
|"A discretionary appeal, however, is distinguishable from a counterclaim and from an appeal of right. More specifically, unlike an appeal of right, a discretionary appeal does not guarantee an appellant that his or her case will be accepted for review. Therefore, the fact that a great majority of discretionary appeals will not be accepted for review by a higher court indicates that the chances for inconsistent judgments from the courts are minimal. If, however, on the minuscule chance that a discretionary appeal is granted, the higher Court would simply stay the malicious prosecution action pending the outcome of the discretionary appeal."
The trial court distinguished appeals of right from discretionary appeals to select the date on which an action for malicious prosecution would accrue. The trial court reasoned that because discretionary appeals were unlikely to succeed, an action for malicious prosecution accrued from the date of judgment in the appeal of right.
Nevertheless, finding that a plaintiff's cause of action for malicious prosecution did not accrue until the time for appeal had expired in the initial suit, this court stated in H & H Farms, 6 Kan. App. 2d at 269:
|"Kansas law is well settled that one of the crucial elements of an action for wrongful use of civil proceedings is that the prior civil proceeding must have terminated in favor of the person against whom the prior civil action was brought, and that the action cannot be brought if the original action is still pending and undetermined. See Nelson v. Miller, 227 Kan. at 280; Harper v. Cox, 113 Kan. 357, 214 Pac. 775 (1923). . . . Furthermore, a plaintiff's cause of action for malicious prosecution does not accrue until the time for appeal has passed on the original action." (Emphasis added.)
See also Lindenman, 255 Kan. at 624-25 (malicious prosecution action cannot be brought until the underlying action is concluded and the time for appeal of the underlying suit has passed); Hutchinson Travel Agency, 10 Kan. App. 2d at 463 (malicious prosecution action dismissed as premature because appeal time had not passed).
In explaining the reasoning behind the rule, the Hutchinson Travel Agency court stated:
|"Favorable termination of the underlying civil proceedings is required to support a malicious prosecution claim for several reasons. First, a complaining party cannot show lack of probable cause in instituting the proceeding until it is finally terminated in his favor. [Citation omitted.] Additionally, a complaining party cannot show all damages from the institution of legal proceedings until they are terminated. And, finally, it is recognized that the requirement of final termination serves to help avoid inconsistent judgments from the courts. [Citation omitted.]" 10 Kan. App. 2d at 463.
Following the rationale of our precedents, we determine that Voth's claim for malicious prosecution did not accrue until August 22, 1994. If Voth had filed his claim for malicious prosecution before that date and an appeal had been filed in the original action, Voth's claim would have been premature. Because Voth's action was filed less than 1 year after August 22, 1994, Voth's action was timely.

Colorado Lakes & Reservoirs Customized Topo Maps and Aerial Photos
Outdoor Gear and Clothing
- The lakes and reservoirs included in this list range from small mountain lakes surrounded by snow capped peaks, to large reservoirs with beaches and boating facilities. This list includes primarily lakes and reservoirs with developed recreation facilities. Some of the most popular large reservoirs include Cherry Creek, Chatfield, Barr Lake, Lake Granby, Rifle Gap, Green Mountain, Lake Granby and Horsetooth. Pearl Lake and Sylvan Lake are two of the smaller mountain lakes included here. Many of these lakes offer adjacent campgrounds and are part of the Colorado State Parks system.
Recreation - Most of these lakes and reservoirs offer opportunities for fishing, boating, camping and picnicking. Many of the larger reservoirs offer more water sports such as swimming and water skiing. Because of the high elevations, many mountain lakes and reservoirs are frozen in the winter months and very cold even in the summer.
Climate - The climate in Colorado varies tremendously from hot dusty summer days to frigidly cold winter nights. Colorado is known for its thunderstorms which form over the Rocky Mountains and then head across the eastern plains, often reaching 10,000 feet or more in height. Lightning is a serious threat, particularly on mountain peaks, lakes and open fields. Summertime temperatures routinely reach 90 to 100 degrees on the plains and the 70 - 80 degrees in the mountains. Cool weather is always possible at night throughout Colorado, particularly at higher elevations. It is not uncommon to need both shorts and a jacket on the same day.
The winter routinely brings severe winter driving conditions with icy roads and limited visibility. Temperatures range from the 40s and 50s on the plains to well below zero in the mountains. Proper winter clothing and food is necessary to avoid hypothermia and one should be prepared to spend an unexpected night out if traveling in the backcountry or on the highways.
Location -
Colorado's Lakes and Reservoirs are scattered throughout the state. Maps and driving instructions are available on the wildernet.com pages describing each lake or reservoir.

Report: Fishing in Southern Park county. I recomend that at some point you try fishing there. There are three basic ways of fishing in South Park. Stream fishing is the easiest. One thing to note is that the branch of the South Platte River between Spinney(spin-e)Mountain Reservoir and Elevenmile Reservoir is Golden Medal water fly and lure only catch and release only. Spinney is a gold medal water which means that is fly and lure only there is no limit on pike. The reservoir is relatively easy to fish unless there is a storm unless you are in a large and strong boat get off the water as soon as possible. The Elevenmile Reservoir is not Gold Medal and is home to Kokanee salmon unlike the rest of the areas trolling cowbells A.K.A. pop-gear by the inlet is usualy the best way to get fish. The cheapest place to stay is not at the Elevenmile Campground but at the genral store by Spinney. Even if you do not stay there it is always a good idea to stop there and ask what is catching the most fish.

Transfer Gossip XI
The summer transfer window is an exciting time for all football fans as clubs look to strengthen their squads and reduce their wage bills.
With the likes of Neymar already ending one of the most drawn out transfer sagas in recent times, in a £50m deal to Barcelona, the coming months are set to be filled with wild rumours and idle speculation.
Here is a composite team of 11 of the best players linked with a move away this summer.
Goalkeeper: Asmir Begovic, 25
Linked with: Arsenal, Liverpool
Last season Begovic emerged as one of the leading goalkeepers in the Premier League and whilst Stoke are keen to retain his services, chairmen Peter Coates has insisted that he could be sold for the right price.
With Simon Mignolet edging closer to a move to Anfield, casting further doubt about the future of Pepe Reina, Arsenal remains the likeliest destination for the Bosnian, with Julio Cesar also being linked with a move to the Emirates.
Right-back: Lukasz Piszczek, 28
Linked with: Arsenal
With a reported budget of £70million going into the transfer window, Arsenal are expected to be very busy this summer, and have been linked with moves for the likes of Gonzalo Higuain and even Wayne Rooney.
Lukasz Piszczek, the Borussia Dortmund right-back who so impressed in the their run to the Champions League final last season, is also thought to be a target for Wenger as a replacement for Bacary Sagna whose contract expires in 2014.
Centre-back: David Luiz, 26
Linked with: Barcelona, PSG
Oozing confidence and exhibiting a stunning level of nonchalance, it has been widely reported that Jose Mourinho is not convinced about the Brazilian's role in the side.
Whilst his talent is undeniable, Luiz is not the archetypal Mourinho centre-back and the new Chelsea manager has concerns about his defensive and midfield abilities.
If Luiz is moved on it will be a disappointment to Chelsea fans who have been wowed by a series of show-stopping displays in the last 18 months. Luiz has even been quoted as saying that he has discussed a move to PSG with his teammates whilst on international duty and an all-Brazilian centre-back partnership with Thiago Silva could be in the offing if the latter resists the advances of Barcelona.
Centre-back: Pepe, 30
Linked with: Manchester City
Manuel Pellegrini, the newly-appointed Manchester City manager, is keen to bolster his back line and sees Pepe, who he worked with during his spell at Real Madrid, as an ideal signing.
With the likes of Raphael Varane rising to prominence at the Bernabeu it is thought that Pepe is keen on a move away from Madrid with Manchester the most likely destination.
Left-back: Leighton Baines, 28
Linked with: Manchester United
What the England national team does not lack is choice for a quality left-back.
Over the last decade Ashley Cole has established himself as one of the finest in world football, but in recent years the gap between him and Baines has narrowed to such an extent that Baines has been named in the PFA team of the season for the last two years.
With Moyes taking over the helm at Old Trafford he is keen to bring Baines with him as a replacement for Patrice Evra who has been linked with a return to Monaco.
Centre-midfield: Isco, 21
Linked with: Manchester City, Real Madrid
One of the most exciting prospects in Europe, Isco dazzled for Malaga in La Liga last season and was instrumental to Spain's triumph in the UEFA U-21 Football Championship.
With Manuel Pellegrini finally appointed as Manchester City manager, it seems likely that Isco will follow his former coach to the Etihad, especially with Real Madrid yet to fill the vacancy left by Jose Mourinho.
Left wing: Cristiano Ronaldo, 28
Linked with: Manchester United, PSG, Monaco
The 2008 Ballon d'Or winner sent shockwaves around the world with a record £80m transfer to Real Madrid back in 2009 and were it not for Lionel Messi, Ronaldo would be the dominant force in European football. Whilst Real Madrid President Florentino Perez suggested that Ronaldo had agreed a contract extension, the forward has refuted these claims giving hope to Manchester United that they can complete one of the most dramatic comeback signings of all time.
Right wing: Gareth Bale, 23
Linked with: Real Madrid, Manchester United, PSG
As Bale is perhaps the Premier League's most exciting talent since Cristiano Ronaldo, it seems fitting that their prospective transfers are dependent on each other.
Whilst the idea of the two teaming up at the Bernabeu is mouth-watering, it is more likely that Bale would join Madrid as Ronaldo's replacement if and when the latter does make a move away from La Liga.
But, if Manchester United fails to secure Ronaldo's services, reports have suggested that they could still make a bank-busting move for Bale.
Forward: Luis Suarez, 26
Linked with: Real Madrid
A maverick, Luis Suarez's ability on the ball is matched only by his ability to divide opinion.
Vital to Liverpool's hopes of breaking back into the Champions League places, Suarez has repeatedly voiced his desire to join Real Madrid but is yet to hand in an official transfer request.
If the Uruguayan does end up leaving Merseyside it will prove to be a huge disappointment for the Anfield faithful who have shown nothing other than unwavering support for their star player.
Forward: Edinson Cavani, 26
Linked with: Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City
Along with Radamel Falcao, Cavani is one of the most feared strikers in world football and has been heavily linked with a move to both Spain and England.
Despite having a buy-out clause of £53.8m, Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid are not afraid to invest heavily in a player who has scored 103 goals in 137 games for Napoli.
Forward: Robert Lewandowski, 24
Linked with: Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Chelsea
One of the stars of Borussia Dortmund's Champions League run last season, Lewandowski netted 36 times in 48 appearances in all competitions.
The Polish striker has made it clear that Bayern Munich is his preferred destination, but with Mario Gotze already finalising a move to the Allianz Arena, Dortmund are heavily opposed to lose another one of their prized assets to their rivals.
A move to the Premier League is a possibility, but it is becoming increasingly likely that Lewandowski will see his contract run down to force through a move at the end of next season.

3-legged donkey Emma: A lesson for veterinarians
AUBURN, Alabama (AP) — Emma the miniature donkey runs around the barnyard and kicks playfully like most any animal her size. But she lacks one thing: A right hind leg.
Outfitted with a prosthetic limb shortly after birth, Emma has become a test case for veterinarians hoping to save the lives of horses, donkeys and similar animals that are typically euthanized because of leg deformities or fractures.
Born in April 2012 with a right rear hoof that wouldn't extend, Emma underwent surgery to amputate the limb at Auburn University when she was just a foal.
Today she's a healthy, active donkey with a 1,600-pound (725-kilogram) best friend — a horse named "Tank" — and a talent for kicking visitors with her pink prosthetic leg.
"That's how she plays. She does what any other donkey would do," said Dr. Jim Brendemuehl, a veterinarian who helps care for Emma at Auburn and owns her buddy Tank.
Emma has outgrown several prosthetic legs as she has grown.
The limbs are a combination of heavy-duty, molded plastic impregnated with carbon fiber for strength. To put the prosthetic on the donkey, handlers must fit Emma's stump with a sock and a rubbery sleeve before putting her leg back into the device. Then she can go for a walk.
Veterinary experts and students alike have learned important lessons from Emma, like how to place the sleeve in a way that her stump isn't irritated by sand when she lays down in the corral and rolls around while wearing the prosthetic.
Then there's the problem of finding a buckle that a curious donkey won't peel open with her teeth.
Dr. Fred Caldwell, who has been involved with Emma's treatment from the start, said the team caring for the 175-pound (80-kilogram) donkey hopes to transfer the lessons learned to larger animals such as horses, which are much more difficult to equip with prosthetics because of their weight and size.
He said a handful of attempts have been made in larger animals, some more successful than others.
"I think every case that we achieve success in we get a little closer for this being something that we can offer as a potential routine therapy down the road," said Caldwell, an associate professor at Auburn.
Sally Baker, a spokeswoman with the American Association of Equine Practitioners in Lexington, Kentucky, said there aren't any statistics to show how many animals are euthanized annually because of leg injuries or deformities.
The problem is serious enough that a few researchers are doing prosthetics research similar to that performed on Emma, she said. But not many.
"It doesn't happen very often," she said. "I'm glad to hear they are doing it at Auburn."
Emma was only 2 days old when she arrived at Auburn's large animal clinic. Doctors determined the only way to save her life was to amputate the lower portion of her right rear leg and fit the animal with a prosthetic limb.
Hanger Clinic Inc., which makes medical products including prosthetics for people and animals, made one limb for Emma, then another and another, as the little donkey matured past her first birthday.
"Emma's design has changed through the time since she first was fit," said Kent Wiggins, an area clinic manager for Hanger. "Part of the reason is that she's grown. Another part of the reason is that as she's changed her activities she gets different pressure points, different problems, and we have to react and make changes in order to keep her going."
Emma's current prosthetic doesn't bend and has a rubber tip rather than a hoof. Caldwell, students and the prosthetics company are trying to figure how to make an artificial limb that would both flex like a real hoof and support the donkey's weight.
"I've learned a lot," said Caldwell. "The students and surgery residents that have worked with her have learned a lot about just what it takes to achieve this in an animal. We've had a lot of complications, a lot of issues that we've had to overcome."

text: Deep Vein Thrombosis (Thrombolysis) Each year more than 600,000 Americans develop a blood clot in a deep vein, such as those in the lower leg or thigh. This is called Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and it has become the third most prevalent cardiovascular disorder. When a DVT breaks loose, it can travel through the heart into the lungs and cause serious breathing problems and even death. Left untreated, DVT can cause life-long pain, swelling and skin ulceration in the legs. St. Joseph Hospital interventional radiologists are actively performing two new, high-end procedures making treatment for DVT safer, faster and more effective. An FDA-approved device (shown above) called the Trellis-6 Peripheral Infusion Catheter (TIC) enables interventional radiologists to isolate and dissolve blood clots in a single setting within about two hours. This system uses two balloons and a vibrating wire threaded into the vein through the leg. The balloons are inflated and create barriers on each end of a blockage as the clot-busting drug is injected into the blood clot and spreads. St. Joseph Hospital is also among the first hospitals in the nation treating DVT with the EKOS MicroSonic Accelerated Thrombolysis system, which is sometimes used in conjunction with the Trellis device. EKOS has miniature ultrasound devices that pulse. This opens up the clot so that it better absorbs the clot-busting drug. Patients treated with EKOS need a lower dose of the drug and treatment is accomplished in a much shorter timeframe.

I love the design details
I love the harmony of colors
but I most love the graceful way she walks.
Tuesday, August 5, 2008
On the Street…Graceful Steps Paris
CommentsClose comment
43 comments
I love it.
Lovely! The details are beutiful and I love the that shade of pink!
That is a beautiful cardigan! And I love the hind of purple in her feet.
One of your outstanding qualities as a photographer is that you can make us see things most of us would not notice. I would not have given her a second glance, but I can see what you are saying. On a secondary note, I like how her clutch matches her cardigan/blouse. Jorge from W Palm Beach
Am I the only one who has a problem with "signature looks" ?
In this case signature prints , Prada s/s 08.
All I see is Prada – the lovely lady wearing the dress comes second.
Agreed. The colours are beautiful and soft. Looks like a wistful moment to me.
she absolutely has an effortless quality about her.
Yes, the way she walks is the best!
You said it! Lovely. Charming. Elegant.
Mr Schuman, if you like the angular grace and poise of her movements, you should try to catch the (menswear) stylist/consultant Michele Rafferty in London or Milan or something one day – this (charming) image totally reminded me of her way of moving. (Her outfit will most likely be rockin' also, with exemplary sleeve management.)
A thought provoking post: i love the colours and what she is wearing and it made me think who'd have though a rear view could be as attractive and seductive as a front view? may be all men know that (?!) but as a woman although i always check my rear view in the mirror as my grandmother taught me, i always think of my front view as being the most important. this has taught me not necessarily so…
I love your photos. You should write more, I love reading your thougths.
Those sleeves are brilliant! I'm going to tuck that awesome little detail away in my things to make and do file.
[email protected]:15 am — It's actually Prada Resort. And no, I think this woman wears the dress beautifully, with no fuss. The world is larger than the few who'd recognise it as a Prada anything.
This could be a postcard.
woman works those colors. nice pop of electric purple. i wish she were my mom.
The skirt is actually Prada resort 2008. I love the way the dusty pink cardigan compliments the colors of the flowers in the skirt. The sleeves on the cardigan are quite unique lightly wrapped like that! It is such a clever, quirky, and also elegant touch. And, as far as I can see, her shoes are darling!
If I were young and beautiful, this is how I would imagine I could look and where I would want to be…since she already has the effortless look down, she appears to have deeper thoughts going on…other than someone photograping her.
I really love the colors – & those sandals are quite cute, too. Purple rocks.
I love her posture
I love her delicacy
but I most love that you make me see her through eyes that are not my own, and with a perspective I would never have picked.
Beautiful outfit!
I most love her purse. Is that Prada too?
this woman is a yogi for sure.
The way she holds her arms from the back is very intriguing. It's awkwardly graceful. Love the bursts of purple in her clutch and sandals! Very pretty cardigan detail that we wouldn't have seen had you shot her from the front..
Reminds me of some of the 30′s fabrics and wall coverings that my grandmother had in her house. And I mean that in a good way because I really like fabrics and wall coverings from that time.
My grand mother let me a similar skirt, whitch I adore.. Very sweet.
love the rolled up sleeves and the color of her cardigan.
Sart this is definitely one of my favourite photos of yours. And I have seen all the photos you uploaded.
fantastic, her outfit and what you said about her!
I love the outfit but don't agree as for the walk. To me it looks awkward rather than graceful.
I'm in love with the rolled up sleeves and just the overall comfort factor that this ensemble emits. The cosmetic bag-esque purse (clutch?) works surprisingly well also.
All i see is Prada
I really love every detail, but the skirt ruins it. She had grace and elegance, but the skirt adds a bit of Wal-Mart. Sorry, but it's true.
I like the outfit, but not so much the pose. Her right arm strikes me as a bit awkward, though I doubt she walks like that permanently, so it's all right. But I don't get how several people are able to comment on her graceful walk – this photo is not a video. It's one thing for the Sartorialist to comment on her deportment seeing as how he saw her in action, but quite another for everyone to seemingly have been there as well.
Also, I think the clutch/bag is Stella McCartney (to the person who asked). Her accessories have oversized circle zippper tabs.
I agree with your comments, Scott (I take this opportunity to congratulate you for this site; it's the one blog that inspires to dress the way that makes you feel good by showing what's people are choosing to wear.)
The overall color combination is soothing to the eye and feels intuitive (even if was not, but then, that doesn't make a difference anyway!)
not just anybody would look like her with the same outfits, so Prada or whatever is not that important.
anyway,for me,nothing but her neck! her gasping her arms.. my fave!
prada? hmmm… most of us don't see designer names when we look at someone's outfit. unless, of course, the desinger name is plastered on the front. this photo is stunning. she is obviously in a world of her own as she gracefully strolls. i'm intrigued. the purple sandle does it – perfectly. i L*O*V*E it.
That's beautiful and feminine look.
love it.
my grandma would have worn this :)
FLORAL PATTERN!!! Gorgeous!
Such a strong feminine creation of design, especially with the pink cardigan!
Loving it!
What a poetic photo… I agree with the comment above, it would be wonderful to read your own thoughts on some of your works.
I really love the colors – & those sandals are quite cute, too. Purple rocks
