Aimee Drolet has been promoted to associate professor of marketing and received tenure from UCLA Anderson School of Management.
A consumer psychologist, Drolet focuses her research on consumer decision-making. Specifically, she investigates how consumers construct their preferences in order to make choices.
At UCLA Anderson, Drolet teaches consumer behavior and brand management for MBA, Fully-Employed MBA, executive education as well as undergraduate students.
Drolet is founder and director of the Class of 2000 Anderson Behavior Research Laboratory, which provides faculty and doctoral students with a dedicated space for conducting behavioral research in business.
Shi Zhang, an expert in consumer behavior and marketing strategy on UCLA Anderson's marketing faculty, received tenure and was promoted to associate professor by UCLA.
Using experimental methods, Professor Zhang studies marketing problems from a psychological and behavioral perspective. His investigations look at product differentiation, market entry, brand naming, advertising and communication.
Truly a scholar, Professor Zhang holds two Ph.D. degrees—one in linguistics and one in business (marketing). He has authored numerous articles in leading journals of marketing, consumer behavior and applied psychology.
Professor Zhang has also studied representations of linguistic structures and their impact on information processing, comparative cognitions and decision making. This research provides frameworks for brand naming and international/cross-cultural consumer research, and it suggests how firms can leverage differences between consumers to formulate brand naming and positioning strategies.
Professor Zhang teaches core and elective marketing management courses in the MBA, EMBA and FEMBA programs and also conducts doctoral seminars in marketing.

text: Meet a Specialist: Mark Bernardo, O.D. Dr. Mark Bernardo's dream of a medical career dates back to his childhood, which he spent in the Philippines. "I was very close to my aunt, who's a primary care physician," he recalls, "I admired her, and taking care of patients seemed so appealing." After his family moved to the United States, Dr. Bernardo pursued his undergraduate studies at Rutgers University. During college, he had the opportunity to work in an optometrist's office, which solidified his interest in optometry. "I was supposed to work there for a summer, but wound up staying for two years because I liked it so much," he says. Dr. Bernardo's career path became clearer during graduate school, at the New England College of Optometry, where he completed his OD degree. "Suddenly I realized that in a hospital-based practice, the optometrist sees a much broader spectrum of patients," he recalls. "I had been thinking about private practice. But once I hit my third year, it became clear that hospital-based optometry would be far more interesting. That's when I realized that this is what I was meant to do." As a full-time optometrist in Mass. Eye and Ear's Optometry and Contact Lens Service, Dr. Bernardo has expertise in fitting contact lenses for patients with a variety of needs, including astigmatism, bifocals, post-surgical, post-trauma, ectasia and other types of corneal disease, aphakia, and high refractive error. Based at Mass. Eye and Ear's Longwood location, he has experience working with various lens modalities, including soft contact lenses, rigid gas permeables, multifocal lenses, hybrids, and scleral lenses. With highly specialized training in the detection of ocular disease, and in A and B-scan ultrasound for diagnostic purposes, Dr. Bernardo says careful questioning is his first approach to differentiating routine problems from more complex conditions. "A lot of patients come in reporting eye irritation and pain," he notes. "But a variety of conditions can cause those symptoms, from eye dryness, to something less common, like intraocular inflammation. Asking about onset, frequency, duration, and symptom severity can help to narrow down possible causes. Then, after examining the patient's eyes, and performing any necessary tests, we're able to develop a diagnosis and decide how to manage the condition–or refer the patient to one of our specialists, if need be." Dr. Bernardo also receives referrals from other physicians at Mass. Eye and Ear, whose patients have eye conditions that require specialized fitting for contact lenses or eyeglasses. "Specialists from the Glaucoma Service and the Retina Service typically send me patients—some of whom they have been following for years. My job is to assess their functional needs and determine the best eyeglass prescription for those needs," he notes. "If someone has glaucoma or retinal issues, their sight may be limited because of the disease, but we still want to optimize their vision by prescribing the best glasses or correction possible." Dr. Bernardo also has participated in community-based vision screenings at a number of neighborhood centers in Boston, as well as in the Philippines. "It's been gratifying to help out in some of Boston's lower-income neighborhoods, and in my home country," he says. "We find youngsters who have never had their eyes checked before, including some who had eye problems never previously identified. Once the screenings are done, we can send them to someone who can manage their care." Dr. Bernardo stresses that education is critical to the communication process with patients. "I want my patients to understand the nature of their eye condition, and why I believe the management I've recommended is the best approach," he says. But he also acknowledges that communication is a two-way street. "It's important to understand what's going on with the patient because it can influence how they respond and comply to the treatment," he notes. Financial problems are one such obstacle, he adds. In those instances, Dr. Bernardo may refer patients to Mass. Eye and Ear's financial assistance office, or review the treatment plan for equivalent but more affordable alternatives, such as generic medications, or less expensive eyeglasses and contact lens options. "Giving someone the best possible care sometimes requires addressing additional needs," he says, "including an understanding of their personal circumstances." Dr. Bernardo shares his great fund of knowledge with optometric and ophthalmic residents in the Harvard Ophthalmology Residency Training Program. "Harvard Ophthalmology affiliates—which includes Mass. Eye and Ear, Longwood—are all teaching hospitals," notes Dr. Bernardo. "That means, we are providing the best possible care for our patients while also mentoring the next generation of optometrists. We use a team-centered approach in clinic, working together to examine, diagnosis, and treat the patient that enhances overall care. This approach helps to both foster the resident's clinical independence, and at the same time allows us all to be on the same page and learn from one another." In addition to providing formal supervision to residents during clinic, Dr. Bernardo and other optometrists at Mass. Eye and Ear help teach the basics of refraction to the first year ophthalmology residents in a workshop setting. Contact Dr. Bernardo's office at 617-573-3202.

By Jamie Harvey
Los Angeles
I have a very distinct memory of being on a freeway in Houston as a child sometime in the '80s and asking my parents about the Alice Cooper marquee we drove by. "Who is she?," I asked. They told me that it's actually a he, and he was … scary.
Fast-forward a few years and I would grow to understand that Alice Cooper influenced every modern artist I hold dear to my heart. After seeing Cooper perform over the years at various outdoor venues, it felt right to stand inside the classic opulence of downtown Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre on Nov. 29. Deemed Raise the Dead, Cooper's current tour pays tribute to his Hollywood Vampires friends and influences.
Sparks flew at the beginning of the set with "Hello Hooray" and "House Of Fire." Beyond Cooper being one of the best visual performers, some of his songs are tied to film soundtracks for me. I was reminded of one of my favorite films, 1993's Dazed And Confused, as "No More Mr. Nice Guy" began.
Cooper is credited for introducing horror imagery into heavier music and is considered the King of Shock Rock. While the songs that inspired this title sound almost pop in retrospect, it is very apparent with the configuration of his talented band that hard rock is the mission here. Providing the heavy foundation to the songs I grew up with were guitarists Ryan Roxie, Tommy Henriksen and Orianthi, who created a full, intricate sound, with Chuck Garrick on bass and Glen Sobel on drums.
To say that Cooper's theatrics are legendary is an understatement, but this night was different than times before. While Cooper is usually killed onstage as many times as Kenny dies in "South Park," this time there was a giant coffee cup for "Caffeine," a sword serving as a money kabob for "Billion Dollar Babies," handfuls of beads for "Dirty Diamonds," the infamous boa constrictor during "Devil's Food," and a giant monster Alice Cooper during "Feed My Frankenstein." Even the most hardened heavy metal fans in the crowd were smiling.
As a medley of cover songs by the Doors, the Beatles, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and the Who began, a fourth guitarist emerged from the side of the stage: Johnny Depp. Depp proved throughout the rest of the set that he is as good a musician as he is actor.
A highlight for me was watching Orianthi play the lead on the Jimi Hendrix Experience's "Foxy Lady." It was empowering to watch a woman pull off a song about attraction to a woman from one of the best male guitarists.
Closing the show with "I'm Eighteen," which featured Depp playing lead, "Under My Wheels," "Poison," and "School's Out," Cooper had the crowd giddy like a bunch of teenagers. Ending in an explosion of streamers and sparks, the night was a true celebration of a legend that seems to get better every time I see him.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres have acquired forward Steve Ott and defenseman Adam Pardy from the Dallas Stars in exchange for center Derek Roy.
Sabres general manager Darcy Regier announced the trade Monday.
Roy is entering the final year of his contract after underperforming last season for Buffalo. Following season-ending surgery to repair a torn quadriceps tendon in 2010-2011, Roy had 17 goals and 27 assists in 80 games last season. He scored at least 25 goals from 2007-2010 before he was hurt. Roy has 161 goals and 266 assists in eight NHL seasons, all with Buffalo.
Ott had 11 goals and 28 assists in 74 games with the Stars last season. The 25th overall pick in the 2000 entry draft, Ott has 85 goals and 135 assists in 566 career games and the Sabres are hoping he can address criticism that the Sabres lack toughness.
Pardy spent his first three seasons with Calgary before joining the Stars in 2011-12, recording four goals, 25 assists and 157 penalty minutes in 183 NHL games.

Staff writer
It felt strange to spend the first week of practice working on offense, Hillsboro High School head girls' basketball coach Nathan Hiebert admitted.
Hiebert has made some adjustments based on the personnel returning this season. The Trojans are replacing some of the traditional motion elements of the offense used last season and with an emphasis on drives and on-ball screens.
He feels this offense will utilize an athletic advantage Hillsboro will have with point guard Danae Bina, shooting guard Maci Schlehuber, small forward Addie Lackey, and power forward Tena Loewen. Each of those players is versatile enough to shoot, drive all the way to the rim, or find any combination of cutting teammates.
Versatility is a team-wide characteristic that won't change this season. The trait is something Hiebert has worked to build program-wide over his five-year coaching tenure. When he started, he could only trust his designated point guards to push the ball up the floor. Gradually that increased to last season when he encouraged seven of his top 11 rotation to transform a rebound into a fast break. Added to Schlehuber, Lackey, Loewen, and Bina, freshman forward Alex Ratzlaff and backup guards Maddi Duerksen and Allison Weber would be in this same position.
Loewen exemplifies the Trojans' versatility on defense. Loewen often guarded a team's best post player, but she is also seen checking players on either wing. Although Hiebert does not ask her to do it often, she could shadow even the speediest point guards all the way up the floor.
Lackey has also shown acumen as a lockdown defender. With quickness and high basketball intelligence, she can guard any opponent with the possible exception of 6-foot, back-to-the-basket centers. Bina can guard any of the top three positions on the court. Schlehuber could guard players on either wing.
"I'm trying to make sure kids are well-rounded. Most girls can play most of the court," Hiebert said. "They're not robots, who just have one job they repeat over and over. Late in the season, you have to be able to adapt."
If there is any tenet that is the foundation to Hiebert's coaching philosophy, it is high-pressure but disciplined man-to-man defense. Although the Trojans would often apply full court pressure, Hillsboro did not often commit reach-in or other fouls gambling for steals. The Trojans do not block many shots but they contest jumpers with sound positioning and then quickly block out for boards.
Some younger players have asked Hiebert in the first week of the season how they can secure more playing time. He responded: "If you want on the court, I have to trust you to play defense."
"If we can't keep teams from scoring, it will be a long night."
Fear not aspiring Hillsboro role players. To play his desired style, Hiebert will need to call on his bench. Although Loewen and Lackey were Hillsboro's top rebounders and scorers, the Trojans lost starting seniors Stephanie Sanders, Callie Serene, and Krista Reimer. Forwards Courtney Weber and Amy Bartel were key players off the bench.
Hiebert expects senior forwards Christina Morris and Erin Winter to replace some of the production of Reimer, Weber, and Bartel. Both Morris and Winter played much more in the second half of the season after Loewen went down with an ACL injury. Hiebert said they have both improved on defense and they should contribute rebounds on both ends of the court. Morris, Winter, and Ratzlaff are competing for a possible starting position before the season starts. Ratzlaff has an edge in athleticism but is adjusting to varsity high school basketball coming from middle school, with a change in terminology and practice intensity.
Junior Maddi Duerksen and sophomores Allison Weber, Tara Proffitt, and Kennedy Lucero may be called to contribute as guards off the bench. Schlehuber has developed as Hillsboro's No. 1 3-point threat this season, Hiebert said. If any of the four guards mentioned can knock down outside shots with regularity, they could easily become a fixture of the Hillsboro offense, allowing space for Lackey and Loewen to operate in the lane. Hiebert was keen on Duerksen because of her length on defense.
"With this style of play, I have to rely on quite a few different girls," Hiebert said.
Along with his expectation to play the same up-tempo style, Hiebert said the goal for the upcoming season has not changed from last year, which is to win a state championship.
As he has by building a program from the strong basketball tradition in Hillsboro, Hiebert is looking to build on some traits where the Trojans excel. The theme of practice on Nov. 14 was unselfishness. With a collection of players that genuinely like each other, Hiebert said it is a pleasure to coach a team that is resoundingly unselfish.
However, he took the concept a step further than just sharing the ball — it is also about shared effort. A simple shooting drill served as his example. During a pause, he told the rebounding players who were mostly relaxing to quickly get the ball to the shooters. They should want their players to get the most shots possible; they should want to help their teammates be even better by putting in additional effort.
"You can't be concerned about how tired you are, you have to be concerned about making everybody better," Hiebert said. "I was proud of the girls for their effort in that practice."
The concept applies to how the Trojans work together. With Loewen, Lackey, Schlehuber, and Bina, Hillsboro will have one of the best starting lineups in the state. Hiebert said team roles will work themselves out over time with nothing set before the Trojans play a game.
It's probable though that Loewen steps right back into her role attacking out of the high post, running the floor to finish fast breaks, and being a demon on the offensive glass. It's probable Schlehuber becomes the reliable gunner who opposing teams won't dare to leave. It's probable that Bina will be the manic, attacking guard she was last season — applying pesky defense and sprinting up and down the floor, hanging onto control by a fingertip. It's probable that Lackey takes another step forward as Hillsboro's most creative offensive player, scoring whenever and however she wants but preferring to set up her teammates with easy layups.
It's probable that the Trojans will play a fun brand of team basketball.
It's probable the Trojans will end up back in the state tournament for a fifth consecutive year.

Ah, the USB stick -- one of the IT admin's best friends. It travels with you and helps you rescue machines, work magic, and make end users sigh with relief. Some of these apps you copy to the hard drive and install; others can be run from the stick itself. A few of them are full-blown operating systems that can help you completely recover a corrupted or infected platform.
Whatever the style and purpose, there are plenty of portable apps for the USB stick that can be hard to live without. Here are five tools I deem must-haves.

The chocolate doesn't get super hard and break off the strawberry like with regular chocolate covered strawberries; it remains bendy and easy to bite into!...
Chocolate Chip Apple Cake
A wonderfully delicious cake for any day.
Caramelized White Chocolate Truffle Pumpkin Cupcakes
As if moist pumpkin cupcakes weren't enough, I filled them with a luscious caramelized white chocolate ganache and topped them with caramelized white chocolate buttercream.
Caramel Macchiato Cupcakes
Caramel-coffee cupcakes topped with freshly whipped cream, and drizzled with caramel sauce.
Cappuccino Cheesecake Cake Bars
Creamy coffee cheesecake over a light mocha cake.
Cappuccino Chip Cupcakes
Yellow cupcakes with a light coffee flavor, and mini chocolate chips scattered throughout. Topped with a sweet mocha buttercream.

This is a great twist on the classic melting moment!

An Argument for Flying in High Style
The golden age of air travel may be over, but that's no reason to dress like it is
THE LAST TIME I embarked on a 15-hour Air France flight from Milan to Los Angeles via Paris, I wore a flared, knee-length Mary Katrantzou jacquard dress, Gianvito Rossi heels, a vintage 1950s sweater and enough costume jewelry to set a metal detector off its rocker.
Photo Details: (Clockwise from top left) Burberry Prorsum Animal Print Loafers, $495, Burberry, 212-407-7100; Frends Taylor Rose Gold Headphones, $200, nordstrom.com; Valentino Garavani Pink Rockstud iPad Case, $895, Valentino, 212-772-6969; Concours D'etriers Scarf, $1,125, Hermès, 800-441-4488; Marshall Travel Wallet, $540, Smythson, 212-265-4573; 18K Rose Gold and Amethyst, Pink Quartz and White Quartz Rings, $3,700, $4,800 and $4,000, Pomellato, 800-254-6020; Eddie Borgo Inlaid Bezel Bracelet, $600, Neiman Marcus, 310-550-5900; Charms 32mm Timepiece with Swiss Quartz Movements with Diamond Case and Bracelet set in 18K Rose Gold, price upon request, Van Cleef & Arpels, 877-826-2533; Silver Buckle and Leather Strap Belt, $220 and $370, Hermès, 800-441-4488
The friend who collected me at the end of my journey pulled up to the curb at LAX, raised her eyebrows and said: "You wore a dress on the plane?"
Yes. I always wear a dress on the plane. Or a skirt, ideally in an A-line shape. And heels and jewelry and much more from the A-game side of my closet. The airport check-in staff, security guards and cabin crew, meanwhile, all love me for it. I am frequently granted upgrades, and treated politely by typically aloof Parisian stewardesses who pet my lovely coats before hanging them in the cabin closet. Once, I got high-fives from a group of security girls at Newark airport for the vintage, two-piece patterned knit set I was wearing with a fox fur vest. And though I sometimes garner a few startled looks from fellow travelers in the security line as I pull off my layers of gold necklaces, many also ask where they might find my camel's hair coat (Max Mara) or my glossy ponyskin tote (Givenchy).
" I got high-fives from security girls at Newark airport for the two-piece set I wore with a fur vest. "
At Milan's Linate airport, the security guards are so pleased to see someone who made an effort to look good (naturally, they assume it was intended for them) that when my pointy-toed Nicholas Kirkwood pumps with metal heels set off their detectors, they smile, shrug and wave me through anyway.
In my experience, although the French also appreciate a traveler who has bothered to put herself together, they are sticklers for the rules. When my Kirkwoods trigger the alarm, the guards escort me to a civil place to sit as I remove the shoes. They offer plastic foot wraps so as to not soil my bare soles while I am re-scanned. I have yet to experience this on American soil, which could be one explanation for why everyone seems to show up to U.S. airports in running shoes or plastic shower sandals.
The Off Duty Summer 50
The beach is beckoning, but before you hit the shore, consult this guide to 50 seaside essentials—from swank swimsuits to ice-cold canned sake, comfy snorkel fins to video-recording binoculars.
Sometimes, I'll admit I overdo it. For instance, I do not advise wearing a door-knocker-size necklace on a long-haul flight unless you want to wake up with an imprint of gold-plated leaves on your cheek. But for the most part, my in-flight fashion choices are sound. I can still race to the gate in a pair of 1½-inch block heels. My skirt or dress will not arrive embarrassingly rumpled because I've chosen one cut from a sturdy, wrinkle-resistant fabric. And to ensure warmth at lofty altitudes, I add thick, black, opaque tights.
A thoughtful travel ensemble has not always been the exception. "Historically air travel was a glamorous pursuit, hence the term 'jet-set,' " said Valerie Steele, director of the museum at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology. "People dressed up in nice clothes, hats and gloves. Unfortunately, as air travel became a mass phenomenon, it became considerably less luxurious."
Indeed, many travelers view going to the airport as a short-term prison sentence with a series of indignities that includes invasive bag searches and waiting like livestock in lines before being freeze-dried into a seat with only two inches of leg room.
"It's difficult to expect people to dress up for that kind of experience," Ms. Steele said.
But I do it anyway. Why? First, it's a myth that good-looking clothing has to be a torture chamber. There are plenty of presentable—even very chic—options that are comfortable. Second, dressing well improves morale. It offers what Ms. Steele called, "a psychological boost."
Thankfully I'm not alone in my thinking. "At the very least [dressing up] is a benefit for your self-esteem," said Ginevra Elkann, president of the Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli art museum in Turin, and a mother of two. When flying, Ms. Elkann relies on polished outfits like a pair of wide-legged, compact-wool crepe trousers, a starched shirt, a cashmere sweater, ballet flats and an oversize Hermès Birkin bag. "Not a track suit, and never jeans," said Ms. Elkann, whose grandfather Gianni Agnelli, former head of Fiat, was a pillar of impeccable Italian style. "It's the idea of being composed but comfortable."
Stephanie von Watzdorf, the New York-based fashion designer behind the label Figue, flies in silk, men's-style Isabel Marant shirts, jewel-embroidered jackets from her own label, slipper-like flats and at least two bright pashmina scarves. She is nostalgic for the jet-set days. "When I look around I don't understand what's happening," she said. "It's a mess. People are so badly dressed."
"This whole infiltration of the sportswear world has made a huge impact on how people are dressing," explained Justin O'Shea, the buying director for online luxury retailer MyTheresa, who flies frequently for work. But there's a right way and a wrong way to wear rubber soles. "When a woman puts wide Céline pants with sneakers, it's chic," he said. "When they're with a neon pink Juicy Couture track suit, it's weird." Like Ms. Elkann, he advocates the masculine-influenced looks that designers have been showing for the past couple of seasons as an ideal travel-day aesthetic. "It's that crisp, button-down shirt with tailored pants thing," he said. "It's very cool and easy." It's also a look that doesn't need to be expensive.
Another reason I prefer my flights of fancy is sheer originality. "Honestly, it just feels subversive to dress up since no one else is," said Jay Lohmann, a painter who has studios in both Milan and New York and travels frequently between the two. He flies in a pressed shirt, jacket, tailored pants and Moreschi boots. "By the way, I get upgraded all the time," he added. On a recent flight from London to Milan, Tank magazine publisher Caroline Issa wore a huge fuchsia Preen skirt, a baby-pink A.W.A.K.E. jacket and a shock of red lipstick. "In a sea of businessmen in black, I was a bit of a flamingo," Ms. Issa said with a laugh. "I love to stand out."
Though my own plane looks may be a bit over-the-top, a survey of some very chic women proves that mile-high style can also be relatively low-key and low-maintenance. Susanne Thun, who works with her husband, architect and designer Matteo Thun, only wears flats, preferably tiger-print Roger Vivier ballerinas, along with neat jeans or trousers and cashmere sweaters for traveling to and from St. Moritz, Milan, Vienna and Capri. She gives a twist to her simple style by layering shades of cream, camel or navy in a monochrome look. Ms. Issa occasionally wears cashmere sweatpants from Canadian sports apparel brand Roots. She said their high waist and side pockets make them appear to be tailored trousers.
For those who are pressed for time, a great jacket or coat can very quickly neaten up a sloppy or casual ensemble—and keep a passenger warm. Noona Smith-Petersen, a publicist in Milan, relies on stiff overcoats and tuxedo jackets from Céline; their rigorous lines and wrinkle-proof fabrics can transform casual white jeans and Church's lace-up oxfords (or even her Converse sneakers) into a high-end look. "I could never go to the airport looking sloppy," said Ms. Smith-Petersen. "[Flying] is like going to a restaurant. It's like going out."
Max Mara brand ambassador Nicola Maramotti grabs the company's down-filled Cube puffer jacket, which is reversible, convertible (you can dress it up with a fur collar and cuffs) and collapses down into a compact cube shape with a handle. "I always want to feel comfortable and elegant," said Ms. Maramotti, who often leaves the company's home base in Reggio Emilia, Italy, for London, New York and Los Angeles. "I don't understand people dressing as if they're going to the gym."
To be honest, I'd probably dress for the gym if everyone else were wearing digital-print dresses and kitten heels. But as long as the masses continue to fly in Pilates pants and running shoes, I'll be stepping through security looking cocktail-party ready.

On the Street…..Mother & Daughter,Howard St.
CommentsClose comment
129 comments
I don't quite believe her to be her mom. Maybe she's babysitting?
If only my Parent/Guardian had dressed me so stylishly. I love the head scarf on the girl and the woman's side pony tail. Lovely!
Love the slightly matching awkward and sweet foot positions.
oooh, la la. such a lovely photo. the girl, the little girl, and the background. the colors, the focus, the expressions, amazing shot.
overall, the girl and the little lady's outfit are very interesting. the boots, however look a bit awkward, but it still goes with the whole look. it's odd to me that the pea-coat is only buttoned up on one side… anyway, great photograph!
i love this. everything about it!
My wife sat next to this little girl on the subway today. Her mother was standing, and told her daughter not to touch the dirty hand rail and then play with gum in her mouth. They're both beautiful. I believe the mother was wearing the same pants/boots. They were speaking a foreign language; we guessed they were eastern European?
Mom looks like a model, or at least she's studied the toes-in model posing techniques.
The little girl is wearing her own style. It's just age appropriate. It looks like she dressed herself in her brightly-colored skirt and neglected to completely fasten her own shoes, as my own girls would have. Plus, it all looks so warm and comfortable.
beautiful! i love how both pairs of feet look a little self concious or awkward.
Couldn't be lovelier. :) I really like the mother's outfit: The pants are very well styled and coat balances out the boots.
two angels or two spirits
What a lovely couple!
She's a mother? Both look fabulous.
Mom looks lovely at first glance, but I am too soon distracted by the extreme pigeon toe stance, which I find unpleasantly disturbing.
Love the kid's shoes and skirt.
this photo is a treasure.
They are too cute. Digging the details on Mom's boots.
beautiful shot.
cute how the mother's left foot turn in and the daugher's right foot as well.
for some reason the picture doesn't link to a larger version of itself. i'd love to see more detail of this one! mother and daughter are both adorable.
You know, I have been following your blog all the way from India. This is how my day begins. I take my cup of coffee, walk into the study (I work from home), log on, and come straight to the blog.
And the day there is a new picture, I am happy. Very happy. So Mr. Sartorialist, did you know that you make the lives of people across the world a little better. That's a big thing, you know. your blog is no longer about fashion. It has become a case study.
Like the short sleeves! And her hair, not too fixed but still beautiful.
Request, please. Would you tell us more about these ladies and why you shot them. Does she have an eastern euroepean accent? I find the picture very captivating. To me the woman exerts effortless style, which is evident in non-self-conscious way she dressed her daughter.
Looks more like her older sister. I like her coat, her facial expression and her shoes. But her stance (her left leg inwards thing) is a bit weird. The little girl is adorablea and with any luck will go on to inherit her momma's style and looks.
I Love You Mr. Sartorialist.
I like the mother`s outfit but not the daughter`s.
They look so cute together!
What a stylish mother!
Oooh!!! Lovely!! :)
They both loo so cute!
how cute! I love how the other gives off that dark vibe as though motherhood is rough but she's still able to pull off a chic look. def strong as a mother. The daughter looks like she's going to grow into her mother too…
Lemons @ 11:45 PM is so right…"Love the slightly matching awkward and sweet foot positions."
I love the subjects eyecontact with you when the photograph was taken. The feeling is amazing.
The feet are speaking volumes in this shot!
Very well composed photograph.
Wow, that mother looks very conscious of her appearance – her pose and face are kind of ridiculous. the child hopefully chose her own clothing to explain why she looks a bit … well a different level of style from momma fashionplate.
And is every woman in nyc pigeon-toed? This is the most asinine stance i have ever seen.
It's not just the feet, but the general mirroring in miniature of expression, arms, feet; it's almost bewilderment in front of a camera.
I love to see the pictures in the larger form, but when I clicked today it downloaded to my desktop. I sometimes do grab bloggers pictures for my own desktop/screen saver use, but it never downloads automatically. I wondered if it was my mac or a blogger setting?
I'm staring at the NY sidewalk picture while enjoying our first large snowfall in NH ……
Both girls look sweet. But I can´t help being disturbed that the mother hasn´t spend effort,time and money on her own outfit. The little girl should also have had a bit more consideration on her outfit. Now the only cool thing she has is this charming `hat´.
Great photo!
They are a stylish pair; more parent/child photos please!
The little girl is so cute! I love her look.
…so cute.
(teenage mother perhaps??)
Re: anonymous 2:25am
I noticed the same thing! It seems to be the same on all blogger.com posts from December…
Very annoying; I do not want to download every pic I want to take a closer look at.
Sart, is this something you can fix (i.e. up to each blogger to determine settings) or is it out of your hands?!
Love the blog!
Wow – both giving you an intense look. Dramatic.
When I clicked on the photo, I had to open it with Windows Picture and Fax viewer, but the photo was much larger than usual! I could see many more of all the little details I've always wanted to see. Please continue with the larger photo sizes!
Gorgeous, just love it!
Hey Sart,
The same problem has popped up with this picture. It's asking me to run or save the phots again.
No, I don't believe their mother and daughter. Maybe they're cousins?
Beautiful woman.
Mother and daughtet, same stance, same stare.
Completely, utterly charming.
They're both so cute. Almost like two little girls (the crooked feet!). I love how youthful the mom looks. It's inspirational to me, especially because today I look like a congresswoman from the 1980s. Not sure how that happened, but it's not a good thing.
Now that is one hip Momma! These two have the same dramatic eyes and pretty skin–good things to run in a family, indeed.
I always wonder to what extent children choose and enjoy their own clothes. My memory is foggy, but I seem to recall feeling very pretty a hot pink dress with a full, tiered skirt waaaaaaay back in the early 70′s.
Count me in as one of three who found the mother's foot position a bit odd.
They are darling, these two, but there is something about the mother that feels doll-like and precious.
I totally dig mommy's look. Love the jacket over skinny jeans and high heeled boots.
Beautiful shot, but I'd bet a hundred dollars that's the girl's nanny, not her mom.
So stylish in two totally different ways. Great body language and faces.
Deer in headlights!
That woman's eyes are gorgeous though.
I like her carefree pony with very clean clothing lines. The background lends interest too.
This is perfect — a wonderful way to start the week. And you know, pratishtha at 2:56 am is right…
They're just lovely! OMG, they're so cute!
I've had very few moments where I actually wanted to be a mother, this is definitely one of them. How fabulous.
Amazingly beautiful pic. Very very cute.
My guess is that they are swedish..
To earlier an comment: this woman can't spend effort, time, or money on her outfit. She's a mother! Maybe what makes this duo beautiful is that they have managed to look messily flawless without these 3 things, of which too many people think are key to style.
ugh how can I stop from getting these comments in my mailbox!? really annoying.
I think you checked-off the box to have the comments forwarded to your email
just uncheck the box
what sort of camera do you use to compose your shots? i love the clarity and stark contrast. also do you use photo editing software to touch up or enhance your shots?
I don't know for sure they are mother and daughter but the way they interacted and the fact that it was Saturday (no nannies) has led me to guess they are mother & daughter
can't see any of urn posts on my mac. tried from two diff computers.
I like the slightly dishelved edge to the Mother. The coat is gorgeous as are the boots. I hope I'm that fabulous when if I become a Mom.
They are so so cute. Love it.
Lovely photo as always.
usually I agree w/ you. I don't get it this time…
I must agree whole-heartedly with the reader from India, although I am not quite as far away (Vancouver, Canada) – I came across your blog a few months ago and it is now part of my daily ritual to let myself me surprised by your lovely pictures, and to read everyone's comments! So thank you!
As for the picture, it is a lovely pair,although the child seems more adult (in spirit) than the mother. And I'd also like to say that while the Sartorialist is particular about jacket sleeve length for men, I am surprised that he, or no one else has commented on her unusual sleeve length (personally, I'd prefer them longer).
mother's outfit is great, but I really love that the little girl isn't dressed too trendily. she just looks toasty and adorable. very nice!
I must say that I find it quite offensive that many people here think that such a lovely, young woman couldn't possibly be the mother of a young girl. Hmph.
The shot is (as always) gorgeous, as are the mother and daughter.
I believe I know who they are. They are in fact sisters.
Adorable! I love your blog!
They are both, uh, cute – in the pleasant sense that they have lovely faces, and, to me, in the negative sense, that at least the elder one poses for cute and the young one attempts that. A grown woman doing the toe-in thing is great body language? Spare us.
(I don't care what fashion empresses pose that way.)
i found a coat like that at the salvation army for 9 bucks.
I see in this image: the way youthfulness is represented in popular culture and fashion, and standing next to it, real youth.
Love it. Kind of makes me think of Natasha Kinski (who plays a young mother) in Paris, Texas.
If a man posed pigeon-toed would people call it "adorable" or just plain weird?
I love how both mother and daughter's feet placement are! So funny!
i like the sweater showing under the cropped arm on the jacket. it never gets old.
something charming about a mother sporting an outfit that looks just as thrown together as her daughters. messy and beautiful. i love it.
I love the sleeve length on the coat coupled with the sweater.
I also really like how the right side of her sweater collar is tucked under the coat. It makes the look seem so effortless.
Of course, it helps that she's beautiful
I find the woman and little girl both naturally striking (such beautiful faces), but their dress seems less than inspired. That woman's boots seem huge (not to mention the pigeon toe..). Usually I think your shots capture thought and style so well, but sweet as this pair is, is their dress really sartorial?
Amazing. I love the hot mom thing & hope I am one, so I give kudos to her. And bravo to all moms & dads who let their kids dress themselves and wear wacky/silly/old/ratty/mismatched/whatever kind of stuff. My son wore leggings with holes in the knees as a five year old, so I am all about letting them be. Within reason anyway.
Wow.. She's a very elegant mommy.. I love her 3/4 coat.. Her strap matches her peeking sweater, and her boots are to die for!
Her daughter is too cute to be true, I like her outfit, very colorful and free-spirited
My daughter has a leopard printed hat she herself bargain at the 26th St flee market for $1 and wears it to school every day. It is very important to let children be themselves. Choosing clothes is primordial decision making practice. This little girl is her own stylist that is clear. The young mom is obviously straggling with time that is also clear jet she manages to come together as a cute and brave, high hills and children is a hard combo. Being a mom myself I credit her creativity and beauty.
The entry from India is so true… me loves Sart the Wizard of Globalization, bringing people together in the name of beauty and communication.
The mom is so young!
I love the matching stances, and her coat.
Ok. Someone knew that this is a picture of two sisters. It now makes sence that the older one has fixed her outfit to perfection and the little girl has just been dragged along.And little girls at some age just love to put on a pretty dress.I remember when my younger daughter used to say that she had to have a flowery dress and a pair of sandals-even though it was winter!
beautiful beings. very striking, indeed.
Why is it so hard for some people to beleive she is a mother? I am a 24 year old mother of two, and I don't look half bad! Ha.
i think her amazing outfit is a bit distracted by that crazy hair. but at least I can rest assured that I am not the only one who reverts to a messy side pony even on days when my outfit is fabulous.
it seems like the little one had the right idea and wore a nice functional hat : ]
Enough comments about the pigeon-toed thing. When you pose for your own pictures, you can stand however you want. It looks great in this photo, and communicates something about the subject. It also works to balance the subject. And although she's not my type, I have to admit that she looks amazing.
Love the jumper and coat layering.. the length of the sleeves are a nice touch.
Pratishtha's comment is spot on. This makes my day better. I'm wondering if the foot thing of the mother and child is a side-effect of a hurried pose: the mother is gathering in the child with her left arm, they haven't reset their outside feet, so the inside feet displace. I don't have a small child to try it out on but I did try with a chair in front of a mirror and I could get something of the foot-turning-in effect. I love the contrast between the instability of the pose and the sureness of the eyecontact.
This is an amazing shot. Picture perfect. Gorgeous.
Insanely cute.
she is the mom. her name is lindsay, the little girl is izabella.
These are sisters, not Mother and daugther.
I love the fact that the little girl looks lovely and colourful but still every inch a little girl – not tarted up in mini Prada or Juicy sweats. A crucial lesson to mothers everywhere: let your children be children, for crying out loud.
There is such thing as Young Cute Mothers, my sister was one, I was one, my mother was one!!! you don't have to be the the stereotype mom in sneakers. For the incredulous ones I bet my pinky Carine Roitfeld was a YCM .
Blonde is sexy and has a fun shoes, why not… she is a young mom in her twenties with some style, so what!
Little blonde looks like a very independent child who picks her own clothes like mommy, bravo!
I am sure you asked them whether or not they were mother and daughter, but I get mistaken as a mother when wandering around with my sister sometimes. :D I love the older girl's purple/grey cardigan peeking out of her coat, it definitely adds a colour depth to the outfit along with her bag's chain. I like that her mock-schoolgirl side ponytail actually looks… kind of cool, instead of gimmicky or kitsch. Probably because it's further back on her head?
And of course I adore the younger girl, I love that they both have very sure gazes and that they are their feet are so awkward. Her huge purple jacket is also kickass – if only I had dressed like that as a kid!
what a beautiful russian mother and daughter! with all respect to her background.
it's a copy of me with my oldest daughter (5): I do look youngish and cool (sometimes) and she does her best choosing the colour combinations…, which sometimes make me lough (from inside, I never let her notice that).
I love to give her the opportunity to make her own choices in choosing clothes, clolours….
Sorry for naming her Russian. she can be ukrainian or belorushian. But definitly she is from ex Sovjet Union.
Absolutely enchanting picture
I'm almost uncomfortable with how childish the mother comes across. I think she's beautiful, but there's a lack of assertiveness in her stance that makes me wonder. As for the outfits, I think the mother's coat and books are stunning and I love the little girl's mismatched look. It's right.
Skinny jeans.
Shoes/boots you cant walk properly in.
Girlie look on her face.
What a strange way to be a woman.
The little girl looks mature in comparison.
just plainly beautiful :)
Gorgeous…I love the slightly looser skinny pants tucked into her boots.
this is my homegirl lindsay and her daughter bella. lindsay does look rather eastern euro in this shot, face wise, however she's from good ol utah. bella gives herself haircuts and then lindsay copiers her. bella makes up songs and then lindsays sings them to us. this photo is surely the perfect representation of the two mystical people behind it. i'm obessed.
i want to cry.
Bring on more mother & child photos Sart – they're inspirational
Yes, more mother and child pics! I love this, if she is the nanny or mommy, they both look awesome and each own their own style. Very cool.
I would find her stylish if she had dressed her daughter well. Too bad.
Other than that, she looks lovely. And her adorable young, awkward stance is charming!
Such a gorgeous shot.
Someone commented that the mother looks childish & lacks an assertive stance. Isn't it possible that she is a young mother & why should all mothers have an assertive stance just because one happens to prefer it?
Our judgements reflect our mindsets.
Mother and Daughter?
Too good to be true!
i had seen a woman & child like them in macau..the woman woar a skinny jeans n she's hair–gold too,
they aren't macau people..i though they was born in cannada or other…
very funny when i saw them~
The little girl's skirt looks like one from a French store, du pareil au meme.
My daughter has the same, only purple.
Wow – that litle grl is going o have such good style when she is older!
Love the coat on her mother.
Ahhh… I am lucky enough to be friends with both of these beautifull women. They are infact mother and daughter. I spent yesterday sleeping at their apartment where the little girl tried unsuccessfully to wake me up. What a strange thing to run into your friends online.
is it weird three commenters know these two? lovely mama
I love everything about this photo!
fantastic pic, lv the clothes the mothers wearing. contrast between the two is excellent. mum looks like a model.
A grown woman doing the toe-in thing is great body language? Spare us.
Oh, shut it. Some people stand that way naturally. I'm twenty-seven, and I stand that way all the time. I just do. It's not on purpose, it's not affected, it's not because I saw it in a magazine, it's not because I want to look like a broken doll. My feet just naturally turn that way, especially if I've been walking a distance and my feet hurt or if I feel self-conscious because someone's turned a camera on me. Stop telling other people what grown women ought to be and what they ought not to be just because you're jealous of a woman in a picture for getting more attention than you.
just look at natalia vodianova. she looks like a child, yet she has 3 gorgeous kids. i guess its just the genes.
this girl is unbelievably gorgeous!
a powerful picture. Who the child is and what she will become, what the woman was and can never be again. Similar expressions. Luminous innocence, colour, print, awkward feet. Mother, subtle colour, perfect collar. She has awkward feet too.
to have enough time too look like that if your a mother seems astonishing in itself. change the shoes because the bunching of the jeans is akward. do that and we'll be all good.
Love this picture, except for the pigeon-toed stance. Maybe it is just her natural posture but I'm pretty tired of seeing models in general positioned this way to look awkward-on-purpose.
this is a great sight, very inspiring fashion-ways!
Another pic that should go straight to best pics! this is perfect, there is no doubt in my mind that the young woman has not had any model training of some sort, if not she should really think of taking up modelling. i love the contrast of her quite fashionable and edgy look with the little girls gaudy outfit. it's almost like an oxymoron but with people!

Painting human beings is a skill that every artist is required to learn. During their training years, artists may spend hours in front of live models capturing every shape and subtlety of human expression. However, capturing the human soul in a painting is a skill that can't be taught. Kathryn Petroff, a fine artist and muralist, is skilled at creating portraits that not only bring people to life on canvas but capture the nuances of the human spirit in the process.

I'm gonna take Alweth's advice and ignore his own arguments.
Tri-Sword. Too strong for halflings. Basically pointless for everyone else.
+3 base damage per level was too good, so it got nerfed. +2 would be better. This makes it strong for all races, but not nearly as powerful as before.
Whurrgarbl. Inferior to Tri-Sword basically all the time. I liked the old +1% per kill with 5% base. This would be strong for all races and be relatively balanced. It scales with your character, so you can't abuse its power.

20 November 2013 at 12.29pm | Comment on this article
Opera Footwear supervisor Cheryl Knight spoke to BBC Radio 4's Midweek to give listeners an idea what it's like to work in one of the Royal Opera House's less well-known departments.
'Opera shoes? What a niche job! But they are important,' said Cheryl, stressing the importance of comfort to opera singers who have to act as well as sing. 'The Norwegian soprano Kirsten Flagstad was asked what it took to make a great Isolde and she said "A comfortable pair of shoes". The shoes are often the first things asked for in a rehearsal because the singers are asked to do these incredible things, the last thing they want to do is wobble on stage. Shoes help define their character and personality.'
Cheryl took a pair of Bryn Terfel's shoes from Faust to the BBC studios, worn by Bryn Terfel in the scene in which Méphistophélès is dressed as a woman in David McVicar's production and complete with a small heel: 'The gentlemen do take a while to get used to a heel so we thought we'd play safe'. She also brought a pair of extremely ornate platform shoes from Aida worn by the singer playing Amneris, 'the most extraordinary shoes we've ever worked with...fairly late on the role was recast - the original singer had to withdraw. The lady who took over is someone who's really no-frills, is quite happy in a pair of jazz shoes, but she was really game. We've all had a go - They're easier to wear than they look!'
The Opera Footwear department has recently been working on the upcoming new production of Parsifal with its huge chorus of 94 and a total cast of 132 ('with multiple pairs of shoes!' Cheryl noted).
Other guests on the programme included soldier-turned-writer Andy McNab, who revealed that he is a big opera fan.
Cheryl was the first 'face' of our current philanthropy campaign to raise awareness of the Royal Opera House Foundation, which inspires individuals to support our work through donations. We rely on voluntary contributions to present extraordinary performances, incredible craftsmanship and inspiring learning and participation projects. Find out how you can support the work of the foundation.

A good watch in this price range but, I missed the specifications saying "LED light (LCD part only)". Though it's not a problem, I expected the whole dial to be lit by the backlight. The solar-powered feature is hard to resist at this price range.Expand

Kitchen remodeling projects are some of the most common requests for contractors, since appliances, fixtures, and design features quickly become outdated and need to be replaced.

We will see your project through from conceptualization to completion, creating an elegant space with modern materials and fixtures while adding overall value to your home!
If you're looking for a more traditional Villanova bathroom remodeling project, why not try an opulent claw-foot soaking tubset against a wall of custom tile? Or give yourself some extra elbow room at a his-and-hers vanity with warm, bright lighting and rich, dark wood paneling. The symmetrical design can become the focal point of the room–plus, you won't have to take turns at the mirror as you get ready in the morning!

We will exceed your expectations of creating a space that is tailored your family's needs and lifestyle.

Troops to Teachers
Troops to Teachers is a U.S. Department of Education and Department of Defense program that helps eligible military personnel begin a new career as teachers in public schools where their skills, knowledge and experience are most needed. The program enriches the quality of American education by placing mature, motivated, experienced and dedicated personnel in our nation's classrooms. Thousands of military retirees, separating active duty personnel, and currently drilling members of the reserve components are discovering new and rewarding careers in teaching our nation's children. Veterans who have become public school teachers are "Proud to Serve Again." The program produces quality teachers in high demand areas, such as mathematics, science and special education, who give back by teaching in economically disadvantaged urban and rural schools.

Emporia State named a Best College for Veterans
November 26, 2013
Emporia State University has been named to the first Best Colleges for Veterans list by U.S. News & World Report.
"This recognition is especially fitting given our relationship with the city of Emporia, the Founding City of Veterans Day," said Dr. Michael D. Shonrock, Emporia State president.
U.S. News & World Report is known for gathering data and ranking universities and colleges across the country. Emporia State University is ranked No. 27 on the Midwest Region veterans list. The university qualified for the list by being a "top-ranked schools in the Best Colleges rankings that participate in federal initiatives helping veterans and active service members apply, pay for and complete their degrees," according to the magazine.
""We want all of our students to fulfill their dreams and be successful," said Shonrock. "We are honored to work with military service members as they pursue their goals."
Emporia gained the title of Founding City of Veterans Day through the work of two residents.
In 1953, Emporian Alvin J. King proposed that Armistice Day — celebrated on Nov. 11 — be changed to Veterans Day to recognize and honor all veterans from all wars and conflicts. Veterans Day was first organized and celebrated in Emporia in 1953. Kansas Congressman Ed Rees, also an Emporian, then took King's proposal to Congress, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower, also of Kansas, signed the bill proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day. The first nationwide observance of Veterans Day was on Nov. 11, 1954.
Emporia State is part of the community's All Veterans Tribute each year, which recognizes military veterans and their service with a week filled with parades, roundtable discussions, entertainment shows and a 5K run.

Automation crossroads: Product definitions narrow
Industrial automation is at a crossroads, according to a new report released by Frost & Sullivan. "Automation & Control Systems Market" examines the current market and factories of the future.
Senior research analyst Karthik Sundaram said, "Frost & Sullivan's vision of the factory of the future is catalyzed by five megatrends—cyber security, mobile and wireless technology, enterprise ecosystem, cloud computing and sustainability. These megatrends will influence all aspects of an industrial enterprise."
For instance, operating personnel in future factories will not be confined to workstations inside control rooms. The advent of tablets and mobile platforms will enable them to track production lines, perform maintenance operations, and monitor process issues from their tablets—all while on the move. The adoption of secure cloud computing technology will give factories access to relevant strategic data from the Internet to execute real-time decisions and enhance operational efficiency.
"In essence, future factories will have secure wireless networks supporting a highly automated production process, seamlessly interlinked with enterprise software working through the clouds," said Sundaram. "A high-end factory will also involve collaborative manufacturing promoting operational excellence and aiding sustainability."
The report also said the automation and control solutions product portfolio is nearing saturation, either directly or indirectly. A major trend underlining this development is the narrowing product definition between individual products, in particular the programmable logic controllers and distributed control system product lines.
"Vendors have currently emerged with hybrid products that combine PLC and DCS functionality as a means to counter high competition and gain end-user recognition," said Sundaram. "Despite economic advantages, the emergence of such products has clouded end-user perception to a large extent, and it remains to be seen if this technical strategy yields expected results."
Clearly noticeable is a significant shift from the traditional parameters determining the automation and control systems (ACS) market. Currently, it is a company's product portfolio that yields the maximum influence in the automations and controls market space, followed closely by service support and cost considerations. This, however, is set to change.
"In the coming years, the emphasis on the IA product portfolio is likely to diminish," said Sundaram. "In contrast, the need for globalized service support, coupled with cost factors, is expected to gain significant momentum."
As the ACS market steadily graduates towards the next level, it will offer automation vendors challenging opportunities for growth and excellence. Vendors will need to be in tune with ongoing developments and enhance their ability to compete and succeed in future factories.

At the age of 18, the American right to put ketchup on hot dogs is revoked lest you risk being labeled an immature eater who cannot appreciate the frankfurter for what it is without adulterating it with a sickly sweet condiment. Mustard and sauerkraut — and whatever all that salad on a Chicago dog is are acceptable. Period.
Enter Charley Marcuse, the veteran Detroit Tigers' singing hot dog vendor. Marcuse, an unapologetic mustard-only guy, was fired this week and some are saying it was because of his rightful disdain for ketchup.
The Detroit News reports:
"There are rumblings the real reason was ketchup — or Marcuse's disdain for it. Marcuse, at the ballpark and on Twitter, has been a strong crusader for only putting mustard on a frank. And some fans thought he got combative when they asked for ketchup. There were complaints filed."
The anti-ketchup thing is a big deal for Marcuse, who has his own brand of condiment: Charley's Ballpark Mustard which can be found in Detroit-area grocery stores.
Marcuse, a union employee, is filing a grievance.
As a former member of the the UAW Local 2110, I stand with you in solidarity my mustard-loving brother!
