My belly aching (and yes I'm belaboring the point) is the past 10 or so years folks have been saying, Reds fans will show up when playoff baseball does.
Well it has.
Not only what westofyou said in response, but participating in the actual experience. Anticipating what might be, and then being rewarded with the greatest game of the entire 2013 season up to this point.
Going last night became an unforgettable experience for 20,000 people. It was a forgettable couple of hours for those who watched on television.

1) I think that's happening, albeit through eyes on television instead of butts in seats.
(One of several sources citing the strong FSN ratings in Cincinnati)
2) Given the economic realities in the game, I think this consumer shift is just fine by Reds management. At this point, a sold out stadium is merely a cherry on top. Which I'm confident will continue to be the case for Opening Day and any home playoff games. Besides that, I think in-park attendance is much ado about nothing.
Perhaps now that Billy is up with the big league club the team will spring for some braces during the offseason.
Down here, Atlanta is roughly twice the size of Cincinnati in population of a 30-mile radius and drew the same 21,000 people that Cincinnati did.
If Playoff-contending (read: bound) Atlanta and Oakland, as well as Cleveland drew equally 'bad' or worse attendance with larger metro areas to draw from, perhaps the 20,000-figure is simply an arbitrary line that people need to re-imagine for a school night in September.

Braves fans have always stayed away too, carpet bagger town is most likely to blame, that and the brutal commute from north of the city downtown.
Nonetheless, I disagree with the commute. Thing is, having lived in Marietta and making said commute, going southbound in the evening is actually an easy drive on 75, 85 and 400, especially after 6 PM. If you're going to a baseball game from Cobb or Gwinnett counties on a Tuesday night, the drive is usually a breeze to downtown. Going northbound from downtown at rush hour is the killer.

WOY - Where's the love for Butler County and Northern Ky?
This is a series between 2nd and 3rd place teams. The extra WC has taken the Playoff chase out of the picture. It is just a matter of slotting positions at this point.
Interested to see how the Dodger series draws this weekend.

The study is by Dr Jane Howard and Professor Graham Lord, King's College London, and colleagues, and is funded by the UK Medical Research Council.
There are an estimated 371 million people with diabetes in the world and around 90 per cent of these cases are type 2 diabetes. By 2030, there will be some 550 million with the condition based on current trends. Cases of diabetes have more than doubled since 1980, with 70 per cent of the trend due to ageing populations worldwide and the other 30 per cent estimated to be due to increasing prevalence of risk factors including obesity.
The association between obesity and diabetes has long been recognised but the molecules responsible for this association are unclear. Dr Jane Howard, lead author in this research and colleagues from King's, studied mice genetically engineered to lack T-bet, a protein which regulates the differentiation and function of immune cells. They found that the mice had improved insulin sensitivity despite being obese.
'When T-bet was absent this altered the relationship between fat and insulin resistance; the mice had more intra-abdominal fat but were actually more sensitive to the glucose lowering effects of insulin,' said Dr Howard. 'As fat accumulation in the abdomen is typically associated with worsening insulin resistance and other features of the metabolic syndrome, the findings seen were both unusual and unexpected.'
It turned out that the intra-abdominal fat of these mice contained fewer immune cells and was less inflamed than that of normal mice. The researchers then went on to discover that by transferring immune cells lacking T-bet to young, lean mice they were able to improve insulin sensitivity. 'It appears that T-bet expression in the adaptive immune system is able to influence metabolic physiology,' added Professor Lord.
Although human obesity is often associated with insulin resistance and diabetes, this is not always the case. 'Our data suggests that obesity can be uncoupled from insulin resistance, through the absence of T-bet,' said Dr Howard. Several of the main drugs currently used to treat type 2 diabetes work by improving insulin sensitivity. Further studies are needed to identify other molecules in the pathway of action of T-bet which could pave the way for future drug development in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. The administration of specific immune cells as immunotherapy to improve insulin resistance may also one day become a therapeutic possibility. 'This is just the start,' said Dr Howard, 'the idea that the immune system can impact on metabolism is very exciting, but more research needs to be done before we can bring this work from the bench to the bedside for the benefit of patients.'

Seventy years ago in Minneapolis, there was a new evangelist coming into town to preach. Ushers were needed at this revival meeting, and young mother Bessie Green was asked to help. She agreed, even though she, and many others, had not heard of him. The evangelist's message would change her life.
This evangelist's name?
Billy Graham.
Now, Bessie's daughter, Lauren Green, is the chief religion correspondent on Fox News Channel. She has covered worldwide religious events, such as the election of Pope Francis and the beatification of Pope John Paul II. She has participated in many religious panel discussions, and has interviewed various religious thought leaders on her program, Spirited Debate.
In 2007, Green covered the dedication of the Billy Graham Library. It was then she met the man used by God to impact the spiritual legacy of her family.
"On this trip, I really wanted more than anything to meet Billy Graham. Now I can at least say, I've met him. And I shall never forget the moment," she said. "He spoke so graciously, and made me feel as if the honor was his. That's indeed how he greets everyone. He is truly delighted to meet people and delighted that the message he's delivered for 60 years has helped them in their lives."
She has interviewed three generations of Grahams. During the same visit in 2007, she interviewed Franklin Graham, who took her on a tour of the Library. Very recently on her program, she interviewed Tullian Tchividjian—pastor, author, and Billy Graham's grandson. Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of Billy Graham, has also appeared as one of Green's guests on the show.
So when The Cross, the flagship program for My Hope America With Billy Graham, came across her desk, she knew she had to watch it.
The My Hope America program is scheduled to air on Fox News Channel at 10 p.m. ET on Nov. 7.
To her, the program delivers a message that is too important for today's Americans to miss.
"There is a whole generation—well, several generations—that have never heard Billy Graham, and have never been able to put his preaching into their context," she said.
She found The Cross compelling, because of the tangible way it shows God at work in the lives of people. Growing up in a loving Christian home, she was immersed in Christian culture. It was the kind of environment where people prayed at a city council meeting, or before a football game.
Because of the healthy family and the deep spiritual legacy from which she came, Green said she has had a relatively easy life. It is sometimes easy for one to take God's goodness and His work for granted when there are fewer hardships to overcome.
"So, the challenge for someone like me is to make that faith real," explained Green. "I had a good upbringing. My background is not one of brokenness and abuse. I had two parents, married for 52 years, who loved me. The stories contained in the My Hope program about people coming to Christ can apply to anyone's lifestyle—regardless of background."
Through this programming, she hopes that America will see that Christianity is not an old, dated religion.
"Billy Graham's message—the Gospel—is still current," she said. "It has power over whatever negatives are out there in the world today. And this program, I think, is very illustrative of that."
As My Hope with Billy Graham rolls out all over the United States and Canada in a few weeks, Green has other hopes—hope in the work of the Holy Spirit to draw people unto Himself, and hope in the Church.
"The fact that The Cross mirrors real lives of today is profound. How it will affect the nation, or young people, I don't know," she said. "It depends on how many churches make it a part of their ministry and how much they want to take it out into the streets."

Best of learning 2009
At the end of the year it is a useful exercise to stop and ask yourself: What do I know now that I didn't know last year?
Answering this question can provide reassurance that progress is in fact in process!
It is also useful to write down your learning so others can benefit from it. My post last year about 2008 has received most traffic on this blog so far. So I'm sharing my list with you again. The challenge is that I learned too much in 2009 for one blog post. Here is my abridged list. A few will become their own post in the coming weeks. But for today this is what I know now that I didn't know last year.
1. Twitter works.
2. SOFII is transforming how we learn and share together.
3. If you have given all you can – find a new challenge.
4. 5 KM isn't that far. Run it!
5. You kids will talk to you more if you have an msn account. Learn their language. My daughter's self portrait:
6. Be grateful when someone cares enough to criticize.
7. Burn out is real.
8. The Global South is the new fundraising frontier.
9. Budgets absolutely MUST be driven by a manageable work plan.
10. The more I learn the less I know.
People who influenced me the most in 2009
1. Craig MacKenzie (Ontario) – he tolerates me with calm pragmatism
2. Skye MacKenzie (Ontario)– pays more attention than I think
3. Chase MacKenzie (Ontario) – always full of empathy
4. Ken Burnett (UK & France) – inspirational and challenging at same time
5. Marie Burnett (UK & France) – a magnificent and patient editor
6. Gayle Wood (Ontario) – sensible, wise and fair
7. Mark Phillips (UK) – a generous and charming resource
8. Nisia Hanson (USA) – unfailingly enthusiastic and supportive
9. Jackie Mendoza (UK) – calm, encouraging and makes me laugh
10. John Lepp (Ontario) – generous and honest
11. Ram Kapar (Nepal) – His unfailing determination and for teaching me that humanity is one family and the world is one home
12. Sudeshna Kukherjee (India) – Beautiful. A bright light full of positive energy
The book that had the biggest impact on my work in 2009
The Influential Fundraiser – Bernard Ross and Claire Segal
(Watch this space for more on some of these points. Numbers 1, 7 and 8 are coming soon.)
In order to advance the sector and improve the world we must keep learning and asking ourselves and others 'Why?'. We must constantly challenge ourselves to do better.
Take a moment now to think about your list of learning for 2009? It would be great if you felt like sharing it and left a comment here. We might all learn something that way.
The most important thing though is to do it. Write it down so you can see how you evolve year after year. You won't regret it.
Thank you for spending time here.

I'm touched Kimberley... funny how often influence is a two way street... cheers and happy new year!ReplyDelete
Thanks John. Did you learn anything this year?ReplyDelete
Wonderful post Kimberley!ReplyDelete
I've learned many of the same things (my daughter's not on MSN ... & won't even friend me on FB, but I communicate quite a bit with her via texting & she loves it). Twitter has been a real boon to me both professionally AND personally. I think that it has remarkable potential for nonprofits.
As for Sofii, I can't quite recall how I first learned about it, but I take every opportunity to recommend it to everyone.
And my biggest takeaways from the decade - gratitude and the power of being genuine.
Happy New Year!
Thank you Pamela for commenting. It is great to hear from other people who also consider themselves a work in progress!ReplyDelete
Gratitude and being genuine are good take aways!
More posts about a few items from this list on the way next week. Stay tuned.

My goodness that is just about the nicest comment I've had here. You have motivating me to try writing a little more again.
Check back once a week...
This article gives the light in which we can observe the reality. This is very nice one and gives indepth information. Thanks for this nice article. best grow lightReplyDelete
Actually I read it yesterday but I had some thoughts about it and today I wanted to read it again because it is very well written. KIU Community NewsReplyDelete

Shrinky Dink MagicJanuary 9, 2013 at 16:33 | Posted in Crafting, Kid's Arts & Crafts | 6 Comments
Tags: crafting, kids activities, kids art, kids arts and crafts, shrinky dinks
My kids had a fantastic time making these "Cool Stuff" Shrinky Dinks! Shrinky Dinks are made out of a special "paper" that shrinks down in the oven, so it's like making your very own toys! This particular kit has fun robots, vehicles, and other pre-cut shapes to color. The colored pencils come included, so it was a simple project to pull out on a dark, rainy afternoon – and it was also a quick enough project to let the kids do as a reward for getting ready for school really quickly in the morning!
It was interesting to watch how my three kids approached this project. My son Johnny (four years old) enjoyed matching the colors to those on the box, while Emma (six years old) and Lily (three years old) took a lot of artistic freedom. Lily sang "The Wheels on the Bus" as she colored this piece:
We do a lot of crafts, but my kids had never seen Shrinky Dinks before this! They were very surprised to see me turn on the oven, so I thought it would be fun to ask them what they thought would happen when we put them in the oven. Our conversation went something like this:
Me: What do you think will happen to them when we put them in the oven?
Emma (6 years old): They'll burn?
Johnny (4.5 years old): They won't be like paper any more.
Me: What do you think they'll be like?
Johnny: Cardboard.
Emma (excited): Wait! Do they shrink?
Me: Why do you think that?
Emma: Because they're called Shrinky Dinks!
This was a great chance for my kids to practice using their observational skills to make predictions, and to then see their hypotheses tested out! Emma was, of course, correct that the pieces would shrink – here's Lily playing with the same bus she colored in the previous photo, after it had baked in the oven:
Lily's bus was pretty scribbled together – it's a very small thing for a three-year-old to color, even pre-shrinking – but the scribbles looked beautiful as a tiny plastic charm. I had heard about Shrinky Dinks from my friends, and after watching my kids enjoy them it's easy to understand why they are a popular, timeless toy.
All three kids loved how quickly the pieces shrank down to size! It was truly magical for them, and I plan to have the kids make some of these at my son's fifth birthday party so that his friends can bring home a souvenir they made themselves! Using colored pencils to color the shapes makes this a very low-mess activity, which is always a bonus.
The kit we tried had lots of favorite shapes, and the kids' favorites were the bugs with pipe cleaner legs – here is a spider that my son made:
Several of the other pieces came with hole punches for hanging, also, and my kids are enjoying using these as zipper pulls on their backpacks and lunch boxes.
We have a few shapes left to make, and the kids are planning to make a wee Shrinky Dink town for their creations to wander through, soon! A simple, quiet craft that turns into a creative toy – that's my kind of project for kids!
Thanks to MaryAnne from Mama Smiles for today's post. MaryAnne lives near Boston, Massachusetts with her husband Mike and their four children. Before having children she spent most of her time teaching and learning; she has degrees in Music, Education, and Medicine and has taught everything from piano lessons and French to research methodology and ethics courses. She is now a stay-at-home mother, and enjoys the learning, creativity, and play that happens naturally in a young child's everyday life, which she shares on her blog, Mama Smiles.

I used to love shrink sinks – why have I not done this with my girls yet? I know they would find it pretty awesome. I must get some.

- double balloon enteroscopy
- listen (DUH-bul buh-LOON en-teh-ROS-koh-pee)
- A procedure used to look at the inside of the small intestine. A special instrument made up of two tubes (one inside the other) is inserted through the mouth or rectum and into the small intestine. The inside tube, which is an endoscope with a light and lens for viewing, is moved through part of the small intestine, and a balloon at the end of it is inflated to keep the endoscope in place. Next, the outer tube is moved through the small intestine to reach the end of the endoscope, and a balloon at the end of the outer tube is inflated to keep it in place. Then, the balloon at the end of the endoscope is deflated, and the endoscope is moved through the next part of the small intestine. These steps are repeated many times as the tubes move through the whole small intestine. This allows the doctor to see all of the small intestine. Tissue samples may be removed so they can be checked under a microscope for signs of disease. Also called DBE and double balloon endoscopy.

Item Description
Letter, [Samuel] Tappan to Gen. T. W. Higginson
Author: Tappan, S. F. (Samuel Forster), d. 1913
Date: March 15, 1858
In this letter, written from Lawrence, Kansas Territory, Samuel Tappan informed Thomas W. Higginson of the state of affairs in Kansas. He began the letter by mentioning the constitutional convention that would soon meet at Minneola, and the hope that the free state side will be triumphant. Tappan also mentioned the recent election for mayor of Lawrence, stating that Carmi Babcock won over James Blood. The last page, tacked on as if it were a separate note, gave a brief summary of where influential leaders were currently located, so Higginson would know of their whereabouts.

A live music performance highlighted Friday's fifth-annual Celebration of Student Research, Scholarship, and Creative Work.
Andrew McKone and Steve Zusack performed for more than 30 people gathered in a small Detchon classroom. The duo played Sonatina in G Major, Opus 100 for Violin and Piano by Antonin Dvorak.
Afterwards, McKone soloed on the violin and Zusack played three piano pieces and even handed out recorded discs of his music.
"This is much different than I'm used to," Zusack '07 said. "I'm used to a very formal concert where you walk on stage, bow, play your piece, bow and walk off and that's it. Speaking in front of a crowd is a much more unique experience.
"I actually like it more because you get to connect with the audience on a more personal level. This is the first time anyone has played music at this celebration. I think it adds a lot because music is an art and amongst all the liberal arts, it's very important."
Organizers obviously agreed the addition was an important one.
"Some years we've had art displays, photography displays; this year we had a (live) musical performance," said chemistry professor Ann Taylor, a member of the Celebration Program Committee. There have been presentations from the music department in previous years, but not a performance of the nature given by Zusak and McKone.
Zusak seemed to particularly enjoy some extra time, due to a cancellation, to play for the audience. When urged to play a Rachmaninoff piece he had planned, he playfully offered up a Jim Brickman piano solo. Brickman is a contemporary artist known for blending classical and pop styles.
The celebration featured 60 Wabash students presented their material using teaching techniques they've learned in the classroom. Approximately half of the students did poster presentations to explain their research.
Daniel Thornberry and Greg Fulmer had two separate tables to explain their chemistry projects guided by Assistant Professor Lon Porter.
"At other conferences its more hardcore chemistry based," Thornberry '05 explained. "Here they see the pictures and someone with a chemistry background might understand what the picture is but they may not understand what it's about. You have to explain what things mean.
"You have to bring it down to a lot more fundamental level. But it's an advantage for me because you have to re-learn all those fundamentals you may have lost or forgotten."
And that is the heart of the celebration.
"It's one of the challenges for students to gauge where people are at when they're preparing their posters or talk," Taylor said. "Who's my audience? I think it benefits the students because they need to be able to talk to both the experts and novices about their research."

Obviously, a key feature for the survival of any species is the ability to differentiate between friend and foe. If you don't recognize a predator coming toward you, or don't realize the hot girl in the cave next door is one of your own kind, you're unlikely to pass your genes on to the next generation.
As a result we're hardwired to recognize other human faces. We may have left the caves way behind us, but the basic programming is still in place, and damn near impossible to override.
Anyone recognize this picture?
How long did it take you to see a face? Likely 1 second or less.
It's an area of Mars called Cydonia, photographed by the Viking 1 probe in 1976. Scientists at the time dismissed it as a coincidence of light and shadow, but that didn't stop a number of writers (particularly Erich Von Däniken) from including it in horseshit pseudoscience. It got great publicity in non-scientific circles as "proof" of life on Mars, or as evidence that extraterrestrials had previously visited our backwater solar system.
The area in question, of course, is still on Mars, and been imaged many times since then. Here's a shot from 2000: Doesn't look much like a face anymore, huh?
Of course, with particularly famous faces, such as Jesus, Mary, or Elvis, this gets even weirder. Even before the internet age the news had occasional stories about figures (usually religious) being seen on toast, tortillas, trees, ceiling stains, and shadows on walls. With the advent of the web, however these sorts of things attract considerable attention quickly. Our continuing fascination with them is an ironic commentary on an ancient survival mechanism that keeps us from becoming something else's dinner.
It's also led to a rather bizarre cottage industry where you can now modify your toaster to put Jesus, or other famous faces, on your breakfast.
So my point here is that when you see a face on anything, whether it's bread, woodgrain, or a cloud, to just marvel at it. It's the way your fascinating brain functions to make sense out of random patterns, and keep you from becoming lion poop.
And beyond that, it's nothing.

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, OH — Hoping to promote wellness and weight loss through camaraderie and enjoyable activities, Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) officials introduced a command-wide competition called Team Lean Challenge (TLC).
"Just like it has an impact on the nation, being overweight, coupled with poor exercise habits, has a significant bearing on the health, well-being and readiness of our AFMC military and civilian airmen," says Terry L. Gabreski, the AFMC vice commander.
TLC kicked off April 16 and runs through Sept. 28. The program enrolls participants into five-person teams, which in turn will facilitate the team concept throughout units, installations and even the command.
The team with the highest percentage of weight loss — not necessarily the amount of weight loss — wins the challenge. The command's wellness program has its roots in a Web-based tool called the health risk appraisal (HRA), a key component of corporate wellness programs, says Bruce Carlson, the AFMC commander.
"It provides individualized, real-time, wellness-related information and feedback to workers, allowing them to make informed decisions in a number of important wellness categories," he says.
The HRA is part of the command's movement toward a wellness-focused and safe work place, military officials say. By providing access to information and resources tailored to their needs, it helps each individual take charge of their own wellness.
Awards will be presented for the winning team at each installation.

Time again for another EMR round up. This one includes a few pet peeves and also some interesting information that I think some will find useful.
Also, the tweets sometimes display funky if you haven't noticed. The good thing is that I'm about half way through a redesign of the website. Once that's done, I shouldn't have that problem any more. I'm excited to show you the new design. Let's hope it all works out well and I can finish it quickly.
RT @annelizhannan: What is the difference between a PHR, EHR and EMR… <- The first two letters? 🙂
— Michael Planchart (@theEHRGuy) July 21, 2012
I love the sarcasm of the response. I particularly like it when talking about EMR and EHR. I use them synonymously in all my writing. Those that make a big deal about the difference make me laugh since I think it doesn't matter. For all practical purposes if I say one or the other everyone knows what I'm talking about. If you haven't noticed in the same post I'll interchange EMR and EHR. I'm sure it annoys some people, but I think it illustrates the point that it doesn't matter. We all know we're talking about the same thing.
V difficult to access clinic EMR from home. The EMR really doesn't talk "Apple" & no PC at home. My pts and I both lose.cc @ahier
— WendySueSwanson MD (@SeattleMamaDoc) July 16, 2012
This tweet makes me sad. I don't know how Wendy Sue Swanson, MD doesn't know about all the ways to run Windows programs on her Mac: parallels, bootcamp, virtual machine, etc etc etc. It makes me more sad that her IT department didn't inform her of these options as well.

ECC comm report on EMR due out next week on 23rd. Expect our shorter letter around same time.
— Bryony Worthington (@bryworthington) July 18, 2012
I have no idea what the ECC comm report is, but it sounds official. I assume it's a UK report on EMR since Bryony is in the UK. If someone else knows more about it I'd love to learn. Is it worth searching out when it comes out?

Home Page Chess Life Online 2014 August Magnus Back on Top in London
|Magnus Back on Top in London
|March 31, 2013
World #1 ranked player Magnus Carlsen has recaptured the initiative in round 13 at the London candidates. He squeaked an 89-move win over Teimour Radjabov in what looked to be drawish 20 moves prior. After the game, Carlsen said that he didn't think he would win but "eventually (Radjabov) crumbled."
Former World Champ Vladimir Kramnik drew against Boris Gelfand so Carlsen and Kramnik are now both on 8.5/13. Because of a great number of wins, Magnus has superior tiebreaks (playoff will not take place in case of a tie) over Kramnik going into the final round. Carlsen has white against Svidler while Kramnik faces Ivanchuk with Black.
If the rest of the tournament is any indication, sparks will fly. Follow along at http://new.livestream.com/WorldChess/ starting at 9 AM EST to see who will challenge Vishy Anand for the World Championship crown.

I know, I know. You're probably wondering how exciting parabolas can actually be, right? Well, it turns out that, in the remarkably capable hands of mathematical rambler/artist/stream-of-conscious-doodle-wizard Vi Hart, the answer is: pretty damn interesting.
If you're already familiar with Hart, then she needs no introduction — just sit back and enjoy the ride. If you AREN'T familiar with her work, I recommend starting with this video on stars and factoring, then surrendering your productivity to the time-suck that is her YouTube Channel. You won't be disappointed.

Both of us at Style Salvage have a soft spot for this particular homely department store and the fabric it is famous for. In 1875 Sir Arthur Lasenby Liberty opened his first shop on Regent Street with merely three employees, where he sold ornaments, fabrics, antiques and artifacts from Japan and the Far East. The store became the most fashionable place to shop in London and iconic Liberty fabrics were used for both clothing and furnishings. Its clientele was exotic and included famous members of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Proust bought his ties there and Gilbert and Sullivan dressed their casts in its fabrics. Liberty soon become famous for its prints and textiles and by the 20th century Liberty fabrics were used by great designers like Paul Poiret, Yves Saint Laurent, Cacharel, Jean Muir and Paul Smith to name but a few.
Designers have always been inspired by Liberty's ever growing archive of prints. Last year alone, the venerable department store launched a number of interesting collaborations, from affordable florals at Target to shoes by Repetto, Nike Dunks adorned with florals and luggage by Merci. With an archive that is one hundred and thirty five years old, there is plenty to excite and inspire. The latest to be inspired is b store. In an exciting collaboration, the design and textile forces behind two of our favourite stores have combined to create a truly covetable capsule collection that celebrates some of the finest prints on offer, including the much loved pepper print. Having recently breathed fresh life in to heritage label, Baracuta in a range of Harringtons and trousers, now b store have reimagined the use of florals in menswear. Here, while showcasing the Jason Hughes styled and Laurence Ellis shot look book, we talk to b store's very own Matthew Murphy to learn about his love of Liberty, discuss the retail landscape in the capital and find out how the Savile Row store will blow out ten candles in a series of events throughout the year...

With an archive that is one hundred and thirty five years old, there is plenty to excite and inspire. The latest to be inspired is b store. In an exciting collaboration, the design and textile forces behind two of our favourite stores have combined to create a truly covetable capsule collection that celebrates some of the finest prints on offer, including the much loved pepper print. Having recently breathed fresh life in to heritage label, Baracuta in a range of Harringtons and trousers, now b store have reimagined the use of florals in menswear. Here, while showcasing the Jason Hughes styled and Laurence Ellis shot look book, we talk to b store's very own Matthew Murphy to learn about his love of Liberty, discuss the retail landscape in the capital and find out how the Savile Row store will blow out ten candles in a series of events throughout the year...
SS: How did this collaboration with Liberty arise and how did it evolve in to the collection we see today?
Matthew Murphy: The project stemmed from our relationship with Stephen Ayres, Liberty's Menswear Buying Director. We have known Stephen since he worked at Selfridges and when he moved to Liberty he asked us whether we could work together on a project. As the store is in close vicinity with ours and with us working with Selfrigdes and our projects with Dover Street Market, central London is pretty covered in terms of stockists but we still wanted to create something together. We have always loved the heritage of Liberty fabrics and we can up with the idea of working on a capsule collection using these great fabrics. b store loves Liberty. It is not really a collaboration as such because of course, anyone can buy the fabrics wholesale but we wanted a special celebration of these great fabrics. We put the collection together and showed Stephen and he loved it. Initially, Liberty were going to stock it exclusively alongside us, but to get it manufactured we decided to do a bit more and the reaction internationally has been phenomenal. A number of stores that we have been working tentatively with were extremely positive. This season, with the collaborations with both Baracuta and Liberty, it feels decidedly British and the buying reaction has been great.
SS: Were the two collaborations strategically planned together or did they fall in to place?
Matthew Murphy: Ever since we started, the international opinion of b store has always been that we are a very London brand and people have always talked about it being very British. So, we planned that if we were going to collaborate we would work with British brands or brands that could really add something. Baracuta was a great one because we always found outerwear and casual jackets a difficult thing for us, we do shirts and trousers extremely well but tented to struggle with jackets. The stuff that they did with Watanabe and Margaret Howell was quite relevant to what we wanted to do so that came first. Then the Liberty opportunity arose and then everything just fell in to place. For future collaborations, we will continue down this route, find people will add to the complete look of the brand. We don't necessarily want to become a lifestyle as such but the aim is to offer a complete look. We obviously already do shoes and more recently accessories with Kuni (Awai), but it would be good to work on areas that we are not so prolific in and collaborate with specialists not so much in a craft way but, working with people on their signature items. I quite like the idea of working with brands that have become old, stuffy or slightly naff and tweaking them for the modern market.
SS: The archive of Liberty prints must be huge. What was starting point?
Matthew Murphy: We wanted a floral first and foremost because we were feeling that for the collection anyway which is why this always felt like a natural collaboration as they are known for their floral prints. Originally, we wanted to use some of the archive and heritage prints but it just wasn't possible in this instance. The archive prints are almost under lock and key, there are licensing agreements and cost issues so it is lengthy process. For the purposes of this happen, we wanted to make it as simple as possible but still used some amazing prints. It was the late sixties and early seventies prints that really inspired us. For example, the pepper print was designed in 1974/5 so there is still some history to them.
SS: This was a particularly iconic era for floral prints...
Matthew Murphy: Completely. Back then, what is great about them is that there is an obvious femininity there but when you put it in a shirt they feel masculine. There is such a soft feel to Liberty. As a store, it has always been my favourite department store in London. It was almost an introduction to menswear, back when I could first afford to designer clothes the menswear floor at Liberty was phenomenal. Back then they had a impressive Margaret Howell corner, a Westwood area, they had Dries (Van Noten), they were the first store to have Margiela. Fast forward to today and they have found a great niche. I think Stephen has a clear vision of what he wants the current menswear floor to be and it fits with our brand.
SS: You've had the pleasure of working alongside some of the great retail institutions of the capital...
Matthew Murphy: London is still one of the best shopping cities in the world. There might be more interesting things going on in other cities but if you want a selection then London is still the city. I'm all for teaming up and we've been fortunate to work with some great stores for example with Shop at Bluebird, with Selfridges, Dover Street Market and now Liberty. Each of the stores have strong identities and we've worked with all of them in different ways. It is amazing to think that our brand can do that, maybe the appeal is that it can fit so many different demographics and consumers. Originally, we thought that the work with Liberty would be a one off but after the success of it we began to think about working with the fabric in new ways and there is just so much creative opportunity. It can be subtle, as well as bold. For example, for SS12 we are already looking in to overdying fabrics. Then there are some bold geometric patterns from the 70s that remind me of early 90s Prada and that feels right at the moment as well. It is a great opportunity .
SS: What can you tell us about the planned launch?
Matthew Murphy: We are going to have a corner in Liberty's, put up the images and cover the walls in the pepper print. We are also going to open a pop up store in Printemps in Paris in May. Through doing this project, it has opened up opportunities. There are a million collaborations out there but if they are relevant then they work.
SS: I understand that 2011 is a big year for b store...
Matthew Murphy: It certainly is. We are ten in August and we have so many projects planned for the year to celebrate. Everything that we've planned is going under the umbrella of celebrating the store with different people, so Liberty, a roadshow with Selfridges which is pop up shop that begins in Manchester and goes to Birmingham before ending up in London, Printemps and we are working with Mr Porter online. We are also going to launch ten British products. We've approached ten British brands in categories that we are not currently involved in and these include lifestyle and fashion brands, some well known and a few which are less so. Actually there is one brand that I know you'll love, a new tie brand called Marwood. One of the key things that she does is using British lace on top of either silks or cottons to create ties and bow ties. It is beautiful. We are working with her for Spring/Summer in store but she is also going to be one of the ten. These types of projects are great because as well as keeping us creatively inspired, they are a great platform for discovering new brands and pushing them forward.
SS: In a sense, it is fitting celebration and it mirrors the core values of the b store ethos…
Matthew Murphy: Completely. It might be a bit less relevant or for difficult for us now in terms of menswear because our customers want a bit more consistency. For example, we have worked with Peter Jensen since the very beginning and we have customers who come to buy his designs, same with Stephan (Schneider) and now with Christophe (Lemaire). It is hard for us to introduce new menswear brands because there is no one we could nor would want to drop. Unfortunately we are governed by space and the fact that seventy per cent of our menswear is our own brand. This high percentage is not down to us pushing it but is down to the demand. So what we buy from these other bands is items that we wouldn't do necessarily ourselves by still feel very us, the understated luxury of Christophe or the geekyness of Peter. With these boxes filled it is difficult to bring on new labels. With regard to womenswear we have more freedom. This is why the Ten Products project is great because it allows us to bring in new names for product lines that we do not already sell.
As the chaps celebrate their tenth anniversary in a style, you can expect to hear a lot more about b Store on the pages of this blog and beyond in the coming months. In the meantime, lets long for some sunshine and daydream about floral prints before the fruits of this collaboration hit stores next week.

Circleculture Gallery, Berlin presents "Trouble", new works by Aaron Rose, which give very personal and direct insights into the artist's mind. Aaron Rose is perhaps best known as a curator. With his touring show Beautiful Losers and the documentary of the same name, he brought underground artists to public attention, championing a DIY aesthetic informed by their various backgrounds as skaters, punk rock fans and graffiti writers.
Aaron Rose is a lot more of an influence than you probably ever thought. He's responsible for the large-scale, traveling museum exhibition titled Beautiful Losers (there's a book too), he's a writer and independent curator who shows all over the world, and he was the owner/director of the highly influential Alleged Gallery in New York for 10 years.
click here for the Interview – Some true words of him about the culture development.
shots of his current art exhibition in the circleculture gallery in Berlin:
For this show he has a particular obsession: painting on suitcases. "Suitcases from the 50s to 70s were manufactured in such interesting color palettes – these incredible mustard yellows and army greens," he says. Rose calls the works (some of which are stuffed with surprise goodies for buyers to walk away with) "object paintings," displaying them in the spirit of Duchamp. Art historical references aside, the show's conceptual slant is psychological, personal even. "It's my baggage," says Rose. "The exhibition is going to be very much a confession, what all my problems are."

Wilted Dandelion Greens Salad
If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em. That's my motto. Dandelions are much more than a seasonal lawn annoyance. In addition to salads, dandelions make good jelly, wine, coffee and salad. Remember, though, to never pick dandelions in areas that have been sprayed with weed killer.—Noami Giddis, Grawn, Michigan
Total TimePrep: 15 min. + chilling
Makes4-6 servings
- 6 cups dandelion greens
- 2 bacon strips, diced
- 2 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Water
- Wash dandelion greens thoroughly; drain and place in a large salad bowl. Chill.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet, fry bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of drippings.
- For dressing, combine eggs, vinegar, sugar and enough water to make 1 cup. Beat well; pour into the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Pour over greens and toss well. Sprinkle with chopped eggs and crumbles bacon; toss lightly. Serve immediately.
Editor's Note: Verify that dandelion greens haven't been treated with lawn-care chemicals. When dandelions aren't in season, you can substitute fresh spinach for the greens.

Study: Big potential for negative CO2 emissions with biomass, CCS
The coupling of biomass technologies with carbon capture and storage yields negative carbon dioxide emissions and the global potential is enormous according to Potential for Biomass and Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage, a study recently released by innovation company Ecofys and international research collaborative IEA Greenhouse Gas.
The study aimed to provide an assessment of the potential for biomass and CCS technologies up to 2050, with an additional focus on the medium term. Combining the two could result in up to 10 gigatonnes of negative carbon dioxide across the globe annually, researchers found. Putting that in perspective, global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in 2010 reached almost 31 gigatonnes.
"The combination actually removes CO2 from the atmosphere," said Joris Koornneef, a consultant at Ecofys. "The biomass extracts CO2 from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and the CCS takes out the CO2 released in the energy conversion process."
The study carefully distinguishes between technical potential: potential that is technically feasible and not restricted by economic limitations; realizable potential: potential that is technically feasible and takes future energy demand scenarios for the phase out of existing generating capacity into account; and economic potential: the potential at a competitive cost compared to alternatives.
Looking at both electricity and fuel production, the study explored six technology routes. For power, it included pulverized coal with direct biomass cofiring; circulating fluidized bed dedicated biomass; integrated gasification combined cycle with cogasification of biomass; and biomass integrated gasification combined cycle. For biofuels, the study evaluated advanced production of bioethanol through hydrolysis and fermentation; and biodiesel based on gasification and Fischer Tropsch synthesis. The report also distinguishes three types of biomass: energy crops, forest residues, and agricultural residues. It also includes global sustainable biomass potential.
Taking only technical limitations into account, the maximum annual potential is about 10 gigatonnes of negative emissions annually in the power sector alone, or 6 gigatonnes in the biofuel sector. The realizable potential in the medium- and long-term appears to be the greatest for pulverized coal coupled with CCS and cofiring with biomass, according to the report. The best economic potential in both the medium- and long-term lies in biomass integrated gasification combined cycle with CCS. It has the lowest cost of electricity when using low-cost biomass.
But even with all the potential, barriers remain, including the lack of a clear economic incetive. "Without such an incentive, the huge potential for negative emissions will not be deployed," the report says. In the near-term, the researchers recommend a detailed look at the most promising regions.
For a copy of the full report, contact Toby Aiken, IEA Greenhouse Gas communications dissemination manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

HOUSTON, TX (KPRC) – A pregnant 16-year-old in Texas is suing her parents to save her unborn baby. She claims her parents are trying to force her to have an abortion against her will.
The fight over an abortion will be heard right here at the harris county civil courthouse. The lawsuit claims a 16-year-old girl is being coerced to have an abortion against her will.
The teen is two months pregnant and represented by lawyers with the texas center for defense of life. A judge granted a temporary restraining order to save the baby's life.
"We were asking judge to stop them from physically forcing her to have an abortion. She is legally protected, so they cannot drag her to an abortion clinic and force an abortion on our client." said Attorney Stephen Casey.
The lawsuit is eight pages long and details alleged verbal abuse by the teen's parents. In the lawsuit, the teen claims her mom, quote, "Invited the paternal grandparents to a bar for further discussion, where she suggested that she might slip her an abortion pill through deception."
The teen also claims her father told her, quote, "He was going to force her to have an abortion and that the decision was his, end of story."
Even though she is a minor, the teen has the power to make that decision.
"What Roe established, and the cases after that, was that a minor has an absolutely right to make her choice. And what's revealing is, a lot of times, when people say, I do want to make the choice, people are shocked when they want to choose to carry the baby." said Attorney Stephen Casey.
Another hearing is scheduled for Friday. The teen's father says the allegations are false. He told local media that he thinks someone put his daughter up to the lawsuit.

By DAVID GREEN
There's no way around it, says Morenci mayor Keith Pennington: It's going to be inconvenient.
The city's parking lot rebuilding project will begin Monday and it will cause some problems for store owners and customers.
That's how it was a few years ago when Main Street was rebuilt.
"Please be patient with the construction inconveniences," Pennington said last week. "Just like the reconstruction of Main Street a few years ago, it will be inconvenient but when finished it will be a great improvement to our downtown."
The mayor expects construction equipment to be moved into the area Thursday, and come Monday, it's going to get loud as the old asphalt surface is milled down by grinders.
The alley next to Milestones that leads to city hall will be closed during the duration of the construction period. The contract calls for completion of the project by Oct 28, but by tackling Baker and Orchard streets, along with the two parking areas south of Main Street during the same time period, the contractor expects to wrap up construction by Labor Day.
"Some parking will be maintained in the south lots during construction," Pennington said. "However, parking areas will be temporary and moved from day to day as construction proceeds."
Pennington urges those who are able to walk from a distance to park further away—such as the city's lot north of Borchardt Brothers—and save the prime Main Street spots for those who aren't able to take a longer walk.
"It is also important to make an extra effort to patronize those businesses on the south side of Main Street so as to minimize the loss in revenue they may experience during construction," the mayor said.
The bank drive-through is expected to remain open throughout the project.
Pennington said to expect additional noise and dust starting July 25 when a pile of concrete at the former lumberyard on Main Street will be crushed for use as a base for the parking lot. Existing curbing, sidewalk and road base removed during construction will also be crushed for recycling.
That process should last about a week.
The city is now the owner of the former Dunbar Auction property on North Street that will be demolished to create parking space next to Johnson's Hardware and behind Main Street apartments.
"The City is still reviewing options to see if the parking lot can be completed this year on the North Street property," Pennington said.
Several business owners on the south side of Main Street have not yet returned easement agreements to city hall, the mayor said. Without the easements, the city will be forced to limit work to city property only.
