This is another small patch as far as moonkin changes go. I was a little concerned at first because we haven't had any really changes in a while. However, after a little thought my concern went away. Here are the changes as reported by MMO Champion.
Blue Post: Moonkin Form
We've had a lot of discussions about Moonkin form, as you might guess. We know opinions range among the player base from "cut it" to "make me stay in my adorable form all the time." At first we were trying to make it more of an option, so that cuddly-hating Balance druids could choose the spec without the shapeshift. After much discussion though, we're going to go back to a Balance druid = Moonkin Form design. We'll put some more damage into the Moonkin Form.First, of all this comment is the primary reason why my concern went away. This comment makes it sound like moonkin have been at a bit of a cross roads recently and Blizzard was debating what to do. Obviously it's going to be hard to make big changes to a class if you don't know what some of those big changes are. I expect to see more action in the next build or two.
I've largely tried to stay out of the Moonkin Form debate, because I don't really have a strong opinion one way or the other. I liked Moonkin form when I first started playing in TBC. It was new to me, and there were so few moonkin around that it was distinctive. Now that we are at the end of WotLK those comments no longer hold true. I've looked at this form for over 3 years and there are moonkin everywhere now. It's safe to say that I am bored with the form, but I don't really care what I look like as long as the spec's DPS is competitive.
That said, I do hope they update the forms. Looking at the same form for 3 years is boring, but that is not my issue. Multiple moonkin in a guild seems to becoming more likely all the time, yet I am used to being the only one. Therefore, it is a little strange to see a twin. It's not a big deal, but I would like to look different then the other moonkin in a raid (if there is one).
Soothe Animal:
Soothe Animal is now named Soothe - Soothes the target, dispelling all enrage effects.I won't hold it against you if you forgot this spell was in your spell book. Heck, I won't hold it against you if you never even trained it before. I'm not sure I've ever cast it in my 3+ years of WoW.
This is a good change. It takes a useless spell and gives it a use. It also gives druids a little utility that they didn't have before, but I think moonkin will feel the brunt of the added utility. I'll admit that it makes me a little nervous, since I've never had to dispel a not party target before. If you are in the same boat as I am you may want to familiarize yourself with mouse over macros.
Heart of the Wild:
Heart of the Wild now increases your maximum mana by 5/10/15% instead of increasing your Intellect by 2/4/6%.I think Heart of the Wild just fell of a lot of Cata specs. Losing the Intellect boost and therefore damage boost is a big hit from a moonkin perspective, but you may still see it on some builds.
It's hard to say if moonkin will want it or not because we don't really know what the mana situation is yet. Also, the size of our mana pool doesn't have as big of an impact on our mana regen as it did in WotLK. Replenishment is still based on the mana pool, but moonkin got most of their mana from mana on crit which is no longer in game.
Note: There is also a blue post staying that this and Furor are switching places. I don't think this affects if the talent will be picked up though.
Master Shapeshifter:
Master Shapeshifter bonus increased from 2% to 4% for all forms.Not a huge surprise for me. This just brings it up to the current live level, and I had always questioned if it was really 2% or if that was just old text for having just one point in the talent. My big concern here is the Natural Shapeshifter requirement that has always been a part of Master Shapeshifter. Hopefully they will get rid of the requirement or at least reduce the points needed for Natural Shapeshifter.
Relics Changed to Stat Sticks:
My feelings are a little mixed on this subject. Many of the moonkin idols like [Idol of the Shooting Star] and [Idol of the Crying Wind] have been pretty weak. Then you have some awesome idols like [Idol of the Lunar Eclipse]. This change seems to be both a buff and a nerf.
Here is a picture created by MMO Champion with all of the 264 ilevel relics converted into Cataclysm Stat sticks. The converted Idol of the Lunar Eclipse has 77 stam, 51 int, 34 crit, 34 haste, and a red socket. When I compare this to a few of the 264 ilevel wands in game this conversion seems fair if not generous.
On the positive side, we shouldn't have to deal with any more completely useless idols like the Idol of the Crying Wind, they will be easy to evaluate, and we should never have to use an idol that is a tier or two down from our current ilevel. On the negative side, we will probably never have an overly good idol like the Idol of the Lunar Eclipse. Some people will also miss the uniqueness of the idols, but I thought that their affects were pretty boring most of the time.

Multilateral organizations and Southern Europe can do more to cooperate to restore these countries' global competitiveness
One of the lessons learned from the past few years is that economic development processes are reversible. The once-bright southern Europe economies are languishing today, wrapped in a slow and painful process of adjustment aimed at restructuring their productive sectors and enter once and for all into the 21st century economy.
It's clear that these countries' recovery will not be achieved simply with reforming their administrative and regulatory frameworks. Perhaps one of the most complex issues that Italy, Portugal, and Spain are currently dealing with is the interruption of credit flows to the real economy. This interruption is doing considerable harm to the countries of southern Europe; the credit shortage is affecting their competitiveness and jeopardizing any possible hint of improvement, putting the overall global economic recovery at risk.
For example, looking at the Spanish export industry, we see that TECNIBERIA, one of the biggest industrial associations that brings together the major engineering companies of the country, has recently warned about a downward spiral that may make an entire productive sector vanish. The combination of three factors is at fault: a drastic reduction in domestic demand as the economy still falters, deficient credit for projects and tenders abroad, and expansion of the sovereign debt crisis to the few Spanish financial institutions, both public and private, that have sufficient capacity and willingness to support companies abroad. So while the Spanish export industry has realized that it must go beyond its Iberoamerican comfort zone to look for new markets if it wants to survive, its chances to succeed are severely hindered. The fact that Spain's tradition of banking in the international corporate finance sector lags among its peers makes the situation worse. We can see only two major national Spanish banks among the top 15 companies measured by volume of financial advisory services in 2012— the rest of the ranking is occupied by the subsidiaries of foreign entities. The stigmatization of the southern European brand by international entities has made the credit crunch even more serious.
Here we see how Southern European countries must recognize the need to form new alliances to face the great new challenges that are awaiting them on their roads to recovery.
At this juncture, multilateral agencies involved in the development of the private sector, particularly MIGA and IFC as members of the World Bank Group, can and should play an important role.
IFC and MIGA can actively target strong investors with good track records in Southern Europe to ensure that they are informed about their products. IFC can help bridge the funding gap that these companies need to grow through direct lending, and also help to strengthen the national banking system in the field of international corporate finance by co-financing projects. MIGA, as a political risk insurer, can help reduce the risk profile of cross-border investments. In addition, MIGA's insurance can facilitate private-sector financing, as many lenders are more willing to take on projects insured by MIGA—and on more favorable terms. This could, in turn, support the national banking system in the field of international corporate finance.
Dual Challenge
There is a dual challenge here: on the one hand, it is imperative that multilateral institutions like the World Bank Group recognize that, absent the ability to provide direct support to national governments in Southern Europe (as these countries are developed countries and therefore not eligible), there are still many ways they can support these governments' businesses. By reaching out to these countries, multilateral institutions can alleviate the sufferings of these economies while indirectly increasing development around the world by restoring confidence and global growth expectations.
On the other hand, as former MIGA General Counsel, Luis Dodero, pointed out recently in a Conference in Madrid (here's a link to the article in Spanish), the governments of these countries should redouble their efforts to seek partnership and synergies with multilateral institutions on behalf of their national private sectors. The governments are World Bank Group shareholders and are best-placed to understand the tools available to their nationals and promote them back home.
Nowadays it is unquestionable that promoting economic growth in Southern Europe is essential in order to recover the global economic stability, restore confidence, and global growth expectations.

This is a great article Jose,
This is a great article Jose, thank you for shedding "positive" light over Southern Europe! It is not just a grim place facing crisis and unemployment. In Spain there is also a vibrant private sector, with know-how, that seeks to expand its market to new countries. On recent trips to Africa, ADELANTE K&D found that Spanish companies are indeed attempting to reach these markets and establish partnerships. It is clear that companies will need support to get the necessary capacity and to secure their investments: MIGA can play a significant role there. This could lead to win-win as African companies may well be seeking this kind of know-how, and this could breed healthy competition in Africa, allowing local and regional firms to compete more efficiently.

Ann Spangler is an award-winning writer and the author of many bestselling books, including Praying the Names of God, Women of the Bible and Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus. She is also the author of The One Year Devotions for Women and the general editor of the Names of God Bible. Anns fascination with and love of Scripture have resulted in books that have opened the Bible to a wide range of readers. She and her two daughters live in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Publisher Information: About the Book▼▲
The awe-inspiring power of God
Through stories of angelic encounters and miraculous happenings, you will be reminded that regardless of your circumstances, God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This beautiful collection of devotions draws from two proven favorites previously published as An Angel a Day and A Miracle a Day by bestselling author Ann Spangler.
Refresh your faith in the God of miracles.
Thats what this book is about. God doing extraordinary things for ordinary people.
In a time of anxiety and uncertainty, these stories reveal the surprising power of Gods love for you. Bestselling author Ann Spangler shines a light on the God who is far bigger and more merciful than you think ... the God who deeply cares about you ... the God who generously offers the help you seek. Whether you are sitting before a cozy fire or taking a break in your frenzied day, reading these devotions will help you draw closer to the only One who is capable of being your refuge in every kind of trouble. Each reflection will remind you that, even in the midst of lifes challenges, one thing remains true: You belong to a God who is eager and able to care for you with wisdom, kindness, and unfailing mercy.
Drawn from Anns previously published works An Angel a Day and A Miracle a Day, these devotions open with a Bible verse and close with a prayer. Each will reveal the love of God for everyone who needs a miracleincluding you.
And then there are the miracles: a little boy desperately allergic to fruit healed so immediately he can eat an apple; a radically sick mother told that her unborn baby would be deformed by her sickness refuses to abort and gives birth to a healthy, strong baby; a family member gives away $5 they can ill afford and next day receives $25 back.
But that is not all there is to this book. Ann Spangler has built a strong scriptural foundation for When You Need A Miracle. No man-designed angels appear. No miracles unwrought by God occur. No accounts that are contrary to Scripture are presented. In fact, a major portion of this book recounts biblical angelic appearances and miracles. Written in a devotional style, When You Need A Miracle starts by stating its aim as, . . . to refresh your faith in the God who met Moses in the desert . . . and to nourish your belief that he still speaks today (p. 10). Each reflection is recounted with Scripture, an application to bring you closer to your Lord, and a sample prayer. The scriptural accounts are strategically placed throughout to draw your thoughts towards the God of angels and miracles, rather than leaving you ruminating only on them. Not all is sweetness and light. There is a segment on Satan and his angels, and another on times when no angel comes to the rescue. The miracle section includes a temporary miracle and having faith without receiving a miracle.
I found this book interesting and thought provoking. It is easy to read, and when read where others can see its title promotes inquiry, which can lead to witnessing. Donna Eggett, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

Ronald Reagan understood that Congress is in the business of growing the size of government. Raising taxes to supposedly cut government deficits is the scam that politicians use to increase their ability to borrow more money to spend.
As President Reagan famously said, "The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much."
Reagan, as a true conservative, would have supported "starving the beast" by passing the "fiscal cliff deal" that the liberals will forever lament as the largest "permanent" tax cut ever passed in American history.
Reagan rode to victory in his 1980 presidential campaign on the back of the 1978 California voter-approved Proposition 13. The initiative permanently cut the state's property tax rate and required a two-thirds majority approval from both houses of the Legislature for any future tax increase. The popular sentiment that drove Proposition 13 was that older Californians should not be priced out of their homes through higher taxes. The proposition's popularity quickly became the "third rail" of California politics, an "untouchable subject" for politicians to try to rescind.
Milton Friedman served as Reagan's key economic advisor during his presidential campaign, and for the next eight years in the Reagan administration. Friedman understood that due to the politics of the budgetary process, any attempt to cut a particular program will provoke intense opposition from a minority and only indifference from the majority. Friedman thought it was unreasonable to expect politicians to be willing pay the high political costs involved in cutting spending. He argued that only after permanent tax cuts, like Proposition 13, will politicians have no alternative but to cut spending. He reasoned that a cut in taxes, even without accompanying spending cuts, should not be a matter of long-term concern for conservatives:
"There is an important point that needs to be stressed to those who regard themselves as fiscal conservatives. By concentrating on the wrong thing, the deficit, instead of the right thing, total government spending, fiscal conservatives have been the unwitting handmaidens of the big spenders. The typical historical process is that the spenders put through laws which increase government spending. A deficit emerges. The fiscal conservatives scratch their heads and say, "My God, that's terrible; we have got to do something about that deficit." So they cooperate with the big spenders in getting taxes imposed. As soon as the new taxes are imposed and passed, the big spenders are off again, and there is another burst in government spending and another deficit."
True fiscal conservatives should have been viscerally afraid of "falling off the fiscal cliff" because expiration of the 2001 and 2003 Bush Tax Cuts would have essentially allowed liberals to bring back President Richard Nixon's monstrous Tax Reform Act of 1969. After President Lyndon Baines Johnson launched his 1965 War on Poverty spending lollapalooza, the federal debt rose 14% over the next five years. Appalled by the growing national debt, conservatives passed the largest tax increase since World War II. Besides raising tax rates dramatically, the act created the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), which permanently eliminated tax exemptions and deductions as income rose. But rather than curtailing the debt, liberals leveraged the larger tax base over the next 10 years to increase spending by 95% and the national debt by 127%.
When Reagan entered office, interest rates were at 20%, unemployment was headed to almost 11% and effective tax rates were headed higher as the AMT wiped out middle-class tax payers' mortgage deduction and child exemptions as their wages rose due to inflation. When Reagan fought for his huge income tax cut, he was opposed by liberals and many conservative deficit hawks. But when he ran for reelection in 1984, the economy had added 5.7 million jobs and the new prosperity was actually shrinking deficits by generating more private sector profits and wages.
The "fiscal cliff deal" makes permanent $350 billion per year, or 82%, of the Bush tax cuts. More importantly for the future, Nixon's AMT and other tax rates also now permanently indexed against any rise in inflation. There is a $60-billion increase on the top 1% highest earning taxpayers, but it is the other 99% of taxpayers who are going to be hammered with $165 billion of new payroll and Obamacare taxes that will be sucked out of their paychecks each week.
President Barack Obama claimed in his weekly radio address that the "fiscal cliff deal" reduced the deficit by $737 billion over the next 10 years; but in November he had demanded $1.6 trillion of tax increase and refused the Republicans' initial offer of $800 billion.
Reagan was known as the "Great Communicator," but his real nickname should have been the "Great Negotiator." Whether it was movie moguls in Hollywood, liberals in Congress or communists in the Soviet Union, Reagan negotiated spectacularly favorable permanent deals. Reagan would have backed Speaker John Boehner's and Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's effort to starve the beast because he appreciated that passage of permanent tax cuts means that Congress have no alternative but to cut spending.

Ravens safety Ed Reed will end up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame some day, but the NFL says he needs to work on his tackling.
Specifically, NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Ray Anderson said on Mike and Mike in the Morning that Reed, who was suspended for one game for repeated blows to the head and neck area of opposing players, has to change the way he delivers hits, learning to aim lower and not lead with his head.
"We want him to hit below the head and neck area," Anderson said. "We'd like to see him use his shoulder. We'd like to see him wrap up in a more traditional technique. But we absolutely do not want to see head to head, shoulder, forearm to head or neck area, no real attempt to wrap, and almost going missile-like up high. We cannot have those in the game any longer."
Anderson said that Reed, who was penalized on Sunday for a helmet-to-helmet hit, fined once earlier this year for a helmet-to-helmet hit and also fined in 2010 for a helmet-to-helmet hit, has run out of chances.
"Ed Reed, unfortunately, is a repeat offender. We put the burden on the defender to alter his target in those situations when a player is defenseless," Anderson said.
The NFL wants players to understand that the league office is serious about cracking down on hits to the head of defenseless players, and if fines don't get the message through, suspensions will be the next step.
"Hits to the head and neck area potentially are life altering as well as career altering," Anderson said. "Hits to the head and neck area are our biggest concern and we are absolutely intent on getting those out of the game. We can't defer any longer to fines as the primary deterrent. They are not effective."
Reed has an appeal hearing today, with former coach Ted Cottrell handling the appeal. Anderson obviously doesn't think Reed has any grounds to get his suspension lifted.

The world's most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, did not see his shadow Saturday morning at Gobbler's Knob in Pennsylvania, signaling to hordes of curious onlookers that an early spring is on the way.
Boulder's resident rodent meteorologist, Flatiron Freddy, begged to differ.
Before a crowd of more than 70 people of all ages, Freddy popped out of a Chautauqua Park tree stump early Saturday morning to issue the news that winter will persist for another six weeks.
Prognosticating powers aside, Phil and Freddy don't have much in common. The former is a live groundhog with a 116-year career, which his devotees claim is made possible by an immortalizing elixir that Phil drinks every summer.
Freddy, on the other hand, is a stuffed yellow-bellied marmot who was killed by a car several years ago.
Though Freddy does not have a pulse, his predictions have been correct 80 percent of the time, more than double Phil's meager success rate.
"He's not alive, but he always finds some magic," Chautauqua Ranger Dave Gustafson said.
Freddy's previous theatrics include zooming out of his burrow on the bed of a remote-control truck, and surprising the crowd by popping out of a hole in the ground. He emerged more gingerly this year, a product of a recent attack by fellow rodents at the nature center on Flagstaff Mountain, where Freddy resides. Perhaps sensing his defenselessness, a pack of mice tore the fur off Freddy's back and made a nest with it.
"He got kind of ripped up," Gustafson said. "He's starting to fall apart...We'll have to see how long he holds up."
Freddy's wounds were covered by a cloth cape and a miniature top hat made of electrical tape, both of which Gustafson's two young daughters helped to craft.
"I've never seen him as well-groomed as he is today," said Henry Kroll, 70, who has been to four of Freddy's five Groundhog Day performances. "He looks very lively, even though he's deceased."
Charlotte Gramolt, 40, thought the stuffed icon was "terribly handsome."
"It looks like he's getting married," she said.
But even if the so-called "foremost forecaster of the Flatirons" were alive, his chances of scoring a bride would be lower than ever.
Atmospheric change has been unkind to local marmots, Gustafson explained to the audience. The Chautauqua marmot population is getting smaller, as the buck-toothed mountain-dwellers are being forced to move to climates more suitable to their hibernating lifestyles.
The unfortunate news of the marmot's struggle against global warming cast a brief pall over the otherwise joyous occasion, but Gustafson thought it important to be honest with the crowd.
"I just thought I'd let you know all these facts in the hope that you humans can do something about that pollution," he said, impersonating Freddy, before leading the group over to the stump in which Freddy was hidden.
The crowd gathered around the stump and joined voices in a marmot-themed song, set to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot." Gustafson yanked the plastic cord in back of the stump, and Freddy popped up, greeted by rousing applause.
Though Chautauqua's Groundhog Day resources are fewer than at Gobbler's Knob, it's hard to imagine Freddy's Punxsutawney counterpart generating a higher per-capita level of enthusiasm.
"We honor and respect the marmots," Kroll said. "Phil has such a publicity team, but we're making up ground on the groundhog."

It's been three years since Yo La Tengo's last album, Popular Songs, but the band has promised a new one in 2013, and they're teasing us now with a 12″ single featuring an alternate version of one of the songs that will be included on that album. "Stupid Things" is a languid, gauzy, autumnal, beautiful piece of music, with Ira's guitar loosely skating atop Georgia's chugging beat; McNew's billowing organ lifts the thing to the heavens. The vocal on this version (courtesy of Ira) is reportedly entirely different from the one that will appear on the new album. I don't see how it can be much better than this, because this is pretty close to perfect. Check it out via Spotify embed below. Track list and more information on the contents of the 12″ after the jump.
Sharing side A with "Stupid Things" is a remix of the song by EYƎ of the Boredoms. On the flip is the full 12-minute instrumental version of the track. The 45 RPM vinyl is packaged in a heavy cardstock silkscreen sleeve, limited to 1500 numbered copies, and comes with an MP3 coupon. It's out 10/2. Pre-order it here.

Kidney failure diagnosis - possible misdiagnosis?
My 15 year old cat, Fred, was just diagnosed with CRF based on the following:
BUN of 56
weight loss
muscle wasting
His creat and phosphorus levels were not elevated, in fact, his phosphorus was below normal levels. I thought elevated creat and phosphorus were something that went hand in hand with CRF. Couldn't elevated BUN be due to other problems?
Anyhow, Fred is on the following regimen:
10 cc(mL) fluid subq
k/d canned cat food
Rubenal 75
I tried the subq tonight for the first time. Unfortunately the needles the vet gave me were 22 gauge (extremely small) and it appeared not to be working well. Also, I'm not quite sure how to gauge 10 mL off the bag since it is divided into 100mL sections - a little difficult to eyeball.
Fred is tolerating the k/d cat food well. I bought an electric, filtered, running water tray, but he doesn't seem to want to drink much.
The Rubenal pills are big. I am worried about giving them because they contain Phosphorus, even though his levels are low... I'm not sure what to think about that.
Finally, poor Fred is bleeding when he goes potty. I can smell the blood in his feces and there is blood on his anus. I wonder if this could have caused a high BUN reading, perhaps he does not have CRF after all? I am thinking about getting a second opinion.
I know this is a lot to throw out there, I am still trying to digest everything myself. Any nugget of info would be highly appreciated. I can't imagine a day without my Fred, so any that I can save is all that I hope for.
Can you get a copy of the rest of Fred's blood work and post the results, with the lab range in brackets next to it? Also, was a urinalysis done? That's a vital piece of the puzzle (urine specific gravity in particular). If there was no urinalysis, I would make an appointment for one, and add a urine protein creatinine ratio test as well.
I would cease and desist with the K/D. Absolutely atrocious ingredients and there is no valid reason to feed such a protein depleted diet to an obligate carnivore, who actually needs MORE protein as he ages. Instead, find a few different brands/flavours of a good quality MEAT-based wet food with little to no grains and reasonable amounts of phosphorus. There are a couple charts on the net that can help you with that:
"To close your eyes will not ease another's pain." ~ Chinese Proverb
We must not refuse to see with our eyes what they must endure with their bodies. ~ Gretchen Wyler
The fluid will run slowly in a regular 22g but since you're not giving much you don't want the flow to be very fast & end up giving far more.
Some pointers on how to give sub-q fluids easily including the direction the slanted needle tip should be facing: http://www.weirdstuffwemake.com/weir.../catjuice.html
Take the bag hang it up & using a ruler mark off sections divided evenly into 10mL - can either use a thin strip of black duc/electrical tape or a sharpie.
The phos content of Rubenal is likely not going to cause an increase in blood phos levels - it would have to be much higher amounts.
Is the vet aware of the blood in the feces?
What colour is the blood - bright red & liquid like a fresh cut or dark red/black & tarry? If dark & tarry is may be a symptom of gastro-intestinal bleeding which can cause high BUN reading, in that case a trip to the vet is needed to determine the cause.
A second opinion is always an option
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do
The Spirit Lives As Long As Someone Who Lives Remembers You - Navaho Saying
Vindication ~ For all those pets who became sick or lost their lives from tainted pet food
Thank you for the advice on the bag of solution and the angle of the needle. Fred doesn't have a lot of extra skin and he tenses up so it feels like the needle will go right into his body.
Fred's blood is bright red on the anus and feces, which would seem to indicate hemorrhoids or other lower system bleeding. But it had the distinct smell of bloody feces (I used to draw blood from patients at hospitals and nursing homes, and the smell is so distinct....).
Why is the k/d food bad for him? This is the only food available in my area for cats with kidney problems. What are the options for that? Fortunately he still has an appetite and manages to steal food from our plates when we are not looking or the kid's crumbs.
On the bright side, I heard Fred purr for the first time in a long time, and he is cuddling with me at night again after we started giving him Rubenal.
Another good tip is don't poke the same spot every time, there's a pic on Sofia's site listed above that shows the "saddle" area, where anywhere in that area is okay to give fluids. Lessens the chance of continued soreness/scarring in one area.
What are Fred's poops like? Hard & dry, soft & mushy, normal?
Some high quality low phosphorus foods to get you started:
By Nature Organics Turkey & Turkey Liver, Chicken & Chicken Liver, Turkey & Chicken, Chicken & Mackerel, Beef & Beef Liver
Innova Flex Beef & Barley Stew
Evo 95% Chicken & Turkey
Felidae Platinum
Felidae Cat & Kitten
Felidae Grain Free
Merricks Before Grain 96% Beef
Merricks Before Grain 96% Turkey
Merricks Cowboy Cookout
Merricks Thanksgiving Day Dinner
Halo Spots Stew Wholesome Chicken
Halo Spots Stew Wholesome Turkey
Wellness Turkey, Chicken, Beef & Chicken, Beef & Salmon, Kitten, Wellness Core Chicken Turkey & Chicken Liver (other flavours are too high in phos)
Holistic Select Turkey & Barley
Holistic Select Duck & Chicken
Many more choices listed here http://www.felinecrf.org/canned_food...od_data_tables
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do
The Spirit Lives As Long As Someone Who Lives Remembers You - Navaho Saying
Vindication ~ For all those pets who became sick or lost their lives from tainted pet food
My Rainbow has very similar numbers like Fred if yours in US term as mine, but his T4 is in a grey zone for a 15 yrs old:
Cre 1.6
phos 3.7
My vet said he is in an early stage. He drinks and peeps a lot :-(
I sure hope Fred and Rainbow has something curable other than CRF!!!

Microsoft remained the top software vendor in the world in 2013, but in a significant shift, Oracle has dislodged IBM Corp. from the No. 2 spot, Gartner said Monday. Software revenue globally totaled $407.3 billion, up about 5% from the year-earlier period, with Microsoft hanging on to the No. 1 spot with roughly $65.7 billion.
Oracle followed with $29.6 billion, outpacing IBM which had $29.1 billion in what Gartner analyst Chad Eschinger said was "a shift in vendor rankings from 2013 at the top of the worldwide software market."
\"This is the first time in Gartner\'s global software market share research that Oracle has ranked second in terms of total software revenue with $29.6 billion and capturing 7.3% of the global market," he said in a statement.
Oracle, Joanne Morin Correia told MarketWatch, "grew very well in database. We see recovery in the applications space and the cloud business is starting to do better."
Oracle reported weaker-than-expected quarterly results two weeks ago, although some analysts had pointed to signs of improvement in the tech giant's business.
In fact, the stock has climbed 6% since its report. Last week, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Brian White initiated coverage of the company with a buy rating, citing Oracle's potential in cloud computing, an area where the software company has been criticized for being late.
"We believe Oracle's cloud initiatives are ready for liftoff, as the company has been aggressively re-engineering applications for the cloud over the past eight years," White told clients in a note.
However, the Gartner report also highlighted a trend that many view as a threat to traditional software players like Oracle and IBM.
Salesforce.com, a leading provider of business software applications as a Web-based service, also known as software-as-a-service, moved up from 12th to 10th place, and posted the biggest year-over-year revenue growth of the top ten vendors.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting with a very interesting individual, a man who not only is passionate about paddling, but one who has immersed himself and his passions into a region that seems to only get nothing but negative attention from the media — the Texas border to Mexico. His name is Eric D. Ellman, Executive Director of the Big River Foundation whose mission is to teach communities to value the vital role rivers play in the web of life. He is also quite the activist promoting conservation and recreational paddling along the Rio Grande River with his actions catching the attention of local and international governments, conservations groups and the media.
Eric filled me in on a race that will be happening in Durango, Mexico in just a few weeks. It is known as the "Rio Nazas Regata" hosted by the Durango Canoe Racing Association in conjunction with the Big River Foundation. The 3-day race runs through the scenic Sierra Madre of Central Mexico's Durango State. Despite its history of 49 years, most Americans and many Mexicans are oblivious to the fact that this race even exists, but Eric is on a mission to change that and is reaching out for help.
The event this year is July 5-8 and, while we are not affiliated with this race, we thought it would be great to help communicate the details and to shed some light on more positive and relevant happenings south of the border.
Participating in the Rio Nazas Regata costs $20, which includes camping accommodations by the State of Durango, hot showers, 3 meals/day, massage, pro wrestling (?!) and all sorts of prizes. Of course, I couldn't help but ask about security and transportation. Eric informed me that they are organizing a government-escorted caravan from the American border to the race destination.
For information about how to participate in the caravan and for details about the Rio Nazas Regata, call Eric Ellman at the Big River Foundation, 956-236-4985.

With the holiday season in full swing, I've sent my wishlist to Santa, and I'm hoping that I make the "Nice List" and get to open a few gifts at Christmas. As a soon-to-be graduate, my wishlist is a mile long with essentials. In May, I will be on my own, earning a regular wage, renting my own apartment, and finding a way to stay in my parents' cattle operation. I need everything from furniture, to pots and pans, to a new car! (Email me for my mailing address if you are feeling exceptionally generous!) HA! The reason I'm sharing my wishlist with you today is that I think there is one thing on this list that might be the perfect gift for the cattle enthusiast in your life.
Have you checked out BEEF's limited edition Western Art Print Collection? It's a collection of inspiring prints that capture unforgettable cowboy moments. Scenes include bonfires, horses, moving cattle, and of course, cowboys. Featured artists include Jim Norton, Jim Rey, Jack Sorenson, Mick B. Harrison, Tim Cox and many more. These limited edition prints run for a steal at $100 plus tax and shipping. It's a great deal for the perfect artwork to hang above your mantle or in your office. Check them out, and let me know your favorites!
Santa may have a hard time fitting one of these in my stocking, so I might have to hit up Mom and Dad for one of these beautiful prints. Would it be considered parental propaganda to include my Christmas wishlist in a blog entry? How about you? What's on your wishlist this year?
This holiday season, I'm wishing all of you renewed faith, good health, the company of your friends and families and a great start to a successful year in the cattle business in 2009. Best wishes and God Bless!

FO: Swallowtail Shawl
At the beginning of March, I promised you a finishing frenzy; now, on the last day of March, I present to you my sixth FO of the month: the Swallowtail Shawl. Low light for photos, unfortunately, but I wanted to get this post in today. I am so pleased with this shawl -- I think it's really beautiful.
Pattern: Swallowtail Shawl (Interweave Knits, fall 2006)
Yarn: Fiddlesticks Knitting Zephyr Laceweight (wool/silk)
Needle: long 3.25mm circular
Finished size: 43.5 inches across, 21 inches deep at point
I was afraid this shawl would be ridiculously tiny (I was ready to christen it "the Swallowtail Small"), but it turns out that I love the size of it. My only regret is using the Zephyr Laceweight with this pattern, since the ball of yarn is 630 yards and this pattern only used two-thirds of the ball, so it's just not the best yarn-pattern match. Other than that, I'm declaring the Swallowtail Shawl a huge success. I love it, love it, love it. I'm also very pleased with the results of blocking with my new set of wires and on my new set of foam puzzle pieces. It's an excellent system.
And I'm feeling like I was going to tell you all kinds of other things about this project, but now I'm totally drawing a blank. Did I mention I love it? Shawls are really great projects, in that they enable a knitter to create something really stunning with a small amount of yarn, like about $10 worth of silk. I see many more shawls in my future. (Any tips on storing them so they retain that nice, flat, just-blocked look?)
I feel such a sense of relief and satisfaction at having moved six projects out of my WIP list this month! Now I'm just working on Ene's Scarf and my second Vinterblomster mitten. And no, I don't want to talk about school. :)

How do you get the best lap times? Among other elements of good, fast driving, it's about not over-driving your tires. What does that mean? It means managing available grip by knowing all the elements of tire physics before you even start the car.
On this episode of Shakedown University, Leo Parente addresses starting-point skills, techniques, and sensations a driver must master to get the best performance from a set of tires — racing or street. Also on the syllabus are slip angles, tire temperatures (and what happens when a tire is "cooked"), camber thrust (oh my), and other factors that contribute to tire-drive strategy.
It's all about identifying the elements that go into learning how to "feel" a tire as it rotates beneath you, so you can better read how it needs to be driven.
Whatever you do, don't call Leo the Tire Whisperer. He hates that.

Are you familiar with that awkward moment when a friend's smokin' hot girlfriend comes to you for relationship advice?
As much as you'd like to tell her that the relationship isn't going anywhere and she should move on, or better yet, "If you want to get him back at him for cheating on you, well I know who, I mean what you could do," you just can't.
There are rules against such things. You don't root against your boy just because the girl is gorgeous and if she wants to date a sorry scoundrel, you'd like that sorry scoundrel to be you.
It isn't like that in sports.
Believe me, Daryl Morey is rooting against a host of teams that have players he covets. The more disarray, the more likely he'll get the breakup that he so desires.
Picking up a star player via trade seems to be the more likely avenue for improving the Rockets than praying for the long shot dream scenario of landing Deron Williams and Dwight Howard in free agency after the season.
The seemingly impending Pau Gasol-LA Lakers breakup appears to be the Rockets' best chance of landing a top player.
When Kobe Bryant spoke about the Gasol trade rumors after Sunday's loss to Phoenix, Morey probably danced with Glee.
Gasol is so affected by the trade rumors that he is averaging only 17 points and 11 boards a game, with nine straight double-doubles.
Stay tuned.

Despite rumors swirling that the Titans want to trade receiver Kenny Britt, coach Mike Munchak says Britt is very much in the team's plans.
Munchak said "we have no plans" to trade Britt, although the Titans have fielded calls from other teams about him, according to Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean.
"Obviously, anything can happen," Munchak said. "But he needs to help us win games, and hopefully that will be this weekend."
Britt isn't going to help the Titans win games by playing two snaps a game, as he did on Sunday. Munchak said he expects Britt's playing time to increase.
"He needs to play more. He needs to get 20 snaps," Munchak said. "I'd like to give him opportunities to make plays. Maybe he's not starting, and maybe he's not in the starting groups. But he needs to be in the mix, because the guy still has talent. We still believe in him, and want to give him opportunities even if he has dropped some balls. But we need to play him more, and I think he'll rise up to the occasion."
Britt and Munchak may not always see eye to eye, but Munchak sounds like he's trying to make the best of the situation for the rest of the season.

A Promise Kept
In my latest Sandman Meditations piece, I discussed the unconscious shame of reading comics in certain settings, and at the end I promised I would read some old G.I. Joe comics while my students worked on their final exam activities.
I have kept my promise -- and gone beyond it. Since today's class was called Media as Popular Culture, I thought we should all enjoy some popular culture for a moment, so I loaned everyone in the class a G.I. Joe comic....

Robert Pattinson's Secret Love Quest! Is He 'On The Road' To See K-Stew?
The distance is too much for Robert Pattinson! He's been spotted road tripping from Los Angeles in the direction of New Orleans where gf Kristen Stewart is filming On The Road…how sweet!
Keep your eyes peeled when you're driving, you might just spot our favorite vamp Robert Pattinson having a good old-fashioned road trip with some friends. Fan tweets and photos have been peppering the Internet this week as Rob has been spotted in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas heading east to what we think is a not-so-secret rendezvous with Twilight costar and girlfriend Kristen Stewart as she film her new movie in New Orleans. How romantic!
Rob, 24, seems to be imitating art as 20-year-old Kristen's movie On The Road, based on the novel by Jack Kerouac, follows a group of friends on a spontaneous road trip across America.
Sadly, Rob's "secret" visit may not be having the most incognito trip because he is being recognized and swarmed by fans everywhere he stops! In Lubbock Texas, news of his presence at a Crickets Draft Bar prompted a police escort out as fans choked the entrance and back alley hoping for a second of face time with Rob. Crazy! A small price to pay for the actor who isn't letting fame get in the way of true love.
So cute! How far would you go to see your significant other? Sound off below!

Author Notes: Bread pudding is the ultimate comfort food for me. I don't like desserts that are too sweet, so I use dark chocolate here and only a moderate amount of sugar. This is not a dessert for children -- the bourbon definitely adds a kick! There are only a handful of ingredients, so I try to use the best quality possible: local farm fresh eggs, the best chocolate I can afford, and a really good loaf of French bread. My experience has taught me that you can cut corners on the bourbon. My favorite to use is Rebel Yell. - student epicure —student epicure
Food52 Review: Amply boozy yet not too sweet, we liked student epicure's unabashed take on the bread pudding. The dessert takes about 5 minutes to put together (not counting 45 minutes of soaking, during which time you can assemble the rest of your meal). And it calls for ingredients that you probably have lying around the house (if you don't have bourbon -- why don't you! -- you can use rum). We see this as the perfect impromptu dinner party dessert. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 6
cups whole milk
cup bourbon
ounces 72% dark chocolate, chopped
cups day-old French bread cubes (packed)
cup turbinado sugar
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Whisk together milk, eggs, and bourbon. In a large bowl, combine the liquids with the chocolate, bread cubes, and sugar. Toss to coat and set aside to soak for about 45 minutes. Gently stir once or twice while soaking.
- Pour mixture into a 1.5 quart baking dish. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the custard has set and the top of the pudding is slightly crispy (be careful not to overcook). Serve warm or at warm temperature.

John Travolta has been sued for assault and sexual battery in federal court by an anonymous masseur, who claims the actor tried to have sex with him after hiring him for a massage.
The plaintiff, identified only as John Doe in the lawsuit obtained by E! News, claims, among other things, that Travolta touched his scrotum and penis after having stripped in front of the masseur.
The suit claims Travolta apologized for his behavior, but continued to pursue the idea of sex with the man and later suggested that they meet up with a "Hollywood starlet in the building that wanted to have three-way sex."
What's more, the lawsuit claims that the star said he "got where he is now due to sexual favors he had performed when he was in his "Welcome Back, Kotter" days."
Wait … he just blurted that out to a stranger? Really?
The court papers also say the man asked to be taken back to where he was picked up and received double his fee or $800.
The plaintiff is seeking $2 million in general damages, unspecified punitive damages and court costs.
Travolta's camp released the following statement to E! News about the matter.
"This lawsuit is complete fiction and fabrication," it reads. "None of the events claimed in the suit ever occurred. The plaintiff, who refuses to give their name, knows that the suit is a baseless lie. On that date when plaintiff claims John met him, John was not in California and it can be proved that he was on the East Coast. Plaintiff's attorney has filed this suit to try and get his 15 minutes of fame. John intends to get this case thrown out and then he will sue the attorney and Plaintiff for malicious prosecution."
Right. Then he's going to put on his suit, grab Samuel Jackson, and go pay the guy a little visit.

The Collected Works of Chogyam Trungpa: Volume Seven
Amazon eBook DownloadBefore you go, sign up to receive news & promotions from Shambhala.com
Nook eBook DownloadBefore you go, sign up to receive news & promotions from Shambhala.com
The Collected Works of Chögyam Trungpa brings together in ten volumes the writings of one of the first and most influential and inspirational Tibetan teachers to present Buddhism in the West. Organized by theme, the collection includes full-length books as well as articles, seminar transcripts, poems, plays, and interviews, many of which have never before been available in book form. From memoirs of his escape from Chinese-occupied Tibet to insightful discussions of psychology, mind, and meditation; from original verse and calligraphy to the esoteric lore of tantric Buddhism—the impressive range of Trungpa's vision, talents, and teachings is showcased in this landmark series.
Volume Seven features the work of Chögyam Trungpa as a poet, playwright, and visual artist and his teachings on art and the creative process, which are among the most innovative and provocative aspects of his activities in the West. While it includes material in which Trungpa Rinpoche shares his knowledge of the symbolism and iconography of traditional Buddhist arts (in Visual Dharma), this richly varied volume primarily focuses on his own, often radical creative expressions. The Art of Calligraphy is a wonderful showcase for his calligraphy, and Dharma Art brings together his ideas on art, the artistic process, and aesthetics. Tibetan poetics, filmmaking, theater, and art and education are among the topics of the selected writings.
"The best in The Collected Works of Chögyam Trungpa . . . it highlights the incredible gift of this meditation master as a poet, playwright, and visual artist. . . . Whether writing about the art of calligraphy, the Buddhist art of Tibet, or filmmaking, Trungpa opens up new avenues of meaning." —Spirituality & Health

If you need proof of Samsung's growing dominance in the smartphone market you only need look at the wild excitement and speculation that is preceding the release of its next Android flagship – the Samsung Galaxy S4. The rumors are reaching fever pitch with just a week to go until the big reveal. This kind of frenzy is usually reserved for new Apple products, but Samsung's last flagship, the Galaxy S3, was the first individual Android smartphone to really give the iPhone a run for its money in terms of sales, and the S4 is expected to do a lot better. Samsung is reportedly aiming to sell 10 million Galaxy S4 handsets a month.
Update 3-15-2013 by Jeff: It's been announced. Be sure to check out our GS4 spec comparisons including the Galaxy S4 vs. iPhone 5, Galaxy S4 vs. Galaxy S3, and Galaxy S4 vs HTC One. We've also got a full Galaxy S4 hands on with videos and pics galore. Finally, if you want a full rundown of features and information, check out our GS4: Everything You Need To Know.
A highly anticipated launch
The timing of Samsung's March 14 launch event in Times Square is no longer in doubt and it has been carefully calculated. We've seen a lot of new products released in the last couple of months. First we had major trade shows like CES closely followed by MWC. The BlackBerry 10 launch and HTC's new Android flagship the HTC One have also made headlines. There's only one major player at the table still holding its cards close to its chest and that's Samsung. A lot of people are waiting for the S4 before they decide what their next phone will be and that's testament to Samsung's success in building a powerful brand. The big question is whether it can live up to expectations and outdo the competition.
What's in a name?
One of the first rumors to pop up concerned the name of Samsung's new phone. Would it ditch the number four because of an unlucky association with death? Apparently tetraphobia is fairly common in China and can even be found in Korea and Japan. Could the S4 name be in jeopardy? The invitation to next week's event puts that one to bed as it confirms a distinct lack of tetraphobia stating "Be ready 4 the next Galaxy." It looks extremely likely that it will indeed be the Samsung Galaxy S4 (or Galaxy S IV, possibly).
Rumor: New unlock screen
Added 3-14-2013: The Verge has obtained some videos showing a supposed Galaxy S4 performing tasks. One video shows a brand new unlock screen, which you can see below. It's mostly an evolution of the Galaxy S3's droplet unlock.
Rumor: Floating touch gestures
Added 3-14-2013: The Verge discovered some YouTube videos it believes show the Galaxy S4. One of the videos shows the ability to touch the screen without actually touching it: floating touch. This allows features like mouse hovering, etc and could mean that the GS4 screen is much more touch sensitive than previous devices. We'll find out the truth in about 3 hours.
Rumor: A 5-inch 1080p "hyper bright" display
Anyone hunting for GS4 news wants to know what's going to be inside the S4, and there are already plenty of rumors about that. Most new flagship phones this year have screens hovering around 5 inches with 1080p resolutions. Samsung looks very likely to hit a similar spec. A 4.99-inch 1080p Samsung display was spotted at CES and the general consensus seems to be that it belongs to the S4.
Update 3-14-2013: BGR reports that Samsung filed for a patent on a "hyper bright" screen. Several outlets believe that Samsung could use a "green PHOLED" screen that will be 25 percent brighter than typical AMOLED screens. It will likely have a silly marketing name for this screen like "Hyper Bright Dislplay."
Rumor: An eight-core processor
Another persistent spec rumor that has repeatedly popped up alongside the 5-inch 1080p display is that the device will contain Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa eight-core processor. That would certainly catapult it into a leading position since the competition is all packing quad-core processors. The new processors are supposed to be twice as powerful without any additional battery drain. You may wonder whether there's really any need for eight cores just yet. Not everyone is convinced that the S4 will make the leap and one of the screenshots recently leaked by GSM Israel shows a 1.8GHz quad-core processor powering the S4.
Rumor: A 13-megapixel camera
Every supposed leaked spec sheet we've seen has mentioned a 13-megapixel camera, including this fake leak from @evleaks, which turned out to be a speculative render from the Expansys website. It's a safe bet that Samsung will look to improve on the 8-megapixel shooter in the S3. It's likely to be supported by a 2-megapixel front-facing camera.
Once again those leaked screenshots from GSM Israel are showing a maximum 13-megapixel resolution on the main camera.
Rumor: No microSD card slot?
Suggestions about 2GB of RAM, support for NFC and LTE, and Android version 4.2.1 Jelly Bean all sound perfectly plausible, in fact they sound very likely. One slightly more contentious issue that keeps popping up is the assertion that the S4 will come in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or even 128GB versions with no microSD card slot. This strategy could certainly earn Samsung some extra cash, as it does for Apple and Google, but it will definitely annoy some potential customers.
The idea that the S4 will have a bigger battery is a given and 2600mAh is the figure we're seeing, which is a step up from the 1800 – 2200mAh batteries we've been seeing. The size of the battery is always a trade-off with the design, because Samsung will want to make the S4 as svelte as it can.
Rumor: 'Smart screen' and Smart scroll eye-tracking
The biggest rumor to hit concerning new features is the one about S4 eye-scrolling. The S3 had a Smart Stay feature that used the camera to check whether you're still looking at the screen before turning it off (doesn't work so great in the dark). The S4 will reportedly go one better by tracking your eye as you read text and scrolling down automatically. It will also apparently pause video content when you look away from the screen. This rumor comes from an anonymous Samsung source who spoke to the New York Times and it's lent some credence by the fact that Samsung applied for related trademarks in January. Then there's the screenshot below which purports to show the menu for the new features. It certainly looks legitimate.
Rumor: SmartPause
Added 3-14-2013: A YouTube video supposedly showing the Galaxy S4 shows that it could have a feature called SmartPause. This feature supposedly pauses your video if you look away from the screen. Even in the test video, it appears to screw up, though.
Rumor: Wireless charging and payWave Visa app
There's also a decent chance that wireless charging will be supported and it wouldn't be a surprise if the NFC support was tied into a digital wallet of some kind. Samsung and Visa struck a deal over the payWave app for wireless payments quite a while ago now and it was tested at the London Olympics. Visa mentioned at MWC that payWave would be pre-installed on Samsung's "next generation" of devices, although there was no mention of the S4 specifically.
Rumor: Samsung's sticking with plastic, may drop Home button
Every big release spawns lots of artist renders and murky photographs that are wrongly proclaimed as the new device. We've yet to see an image that looks convincing. Rumors concerning the design have centered on the idea that Samsung will drop the physical Home button. We can safely assume the device will be as thin as Samsung can make it, but will it remain rounded like the S3? We'll have to wait and see. The legal battle with Apple could have an impact here.
While many other premium smartphones are crafted from aluminum and glass it looks like the S4 will stick to Samsung's plastic strategy with a polycarbonate body. Y.H. Lee, executive vice president of Samsung's mobile business, reportedly told CNET that manufacturability and durability were vital concerns for the design.
Rumor: Dual-SIM Chinese variant revealed
Supposedly new pictures of what is possibly a disguised Galaxy S4 have leaked on a Chinese forum. This could be a prototype design as the body looks a bit bulky and there is a home button below the screen, which many rumors predicted won't be there on the final release. The specs revealed alongside these photos fit with expectations. The only difference is the dual-SIM configuration, but we know Samsung often makes dual-SIM variants of its handsets for the Chinese market.
Rumor: Release date in April
Earlier this year it was suggested that the Galaxy S4 will be released in April (around the 15th) with a launch event one month in advance. Now that we know the launch event is taking place on March 14 that rumor looks quite credible. It is worth remembering that the S2 and the S3 were both released in May, so an April release would break with that tradition. It's certainly not likely to be released any later than May, but it will probably hit different markets around the world at different times. Previous releases, like the S3, have been staggered arriving on different carriers in various countries over a couple of months.
Samsung teasing
With the launch fast approaching Samsung has tweeted an obscured image of what is presumably the Galaxy S4 waiting to step out of the shadows. It really doesn't give much away, as you can see.
Not long to wait
That's it for our Samsung Galaxy S4 rumor roundup. We're sure that more rumors will pop up in the next few days, but we'd advise taking them with a pinch of salt. There isn't long to wait now to find out for sure. In the meantime you can cringe your way through Samsung's S4 teaser video. We're expecting a good phone, but the biggest thing "since TVs went color" is taking it too far. What are your expectations? Post a comment and share them.
Updated on 03/14-2013: Added several new rumors and linked in some newly discovered, possibly real, videos of the GS4 in action.
Updated on 03/12/13 by Simon Hill: Added leaked pictures from Chinese forum and Samsung's tweeted teaser image.

SHAKSPER Web Site Statistics
The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 23.040 Tuesday, 31 January 2012
Date: Tuesday, January 31, 2012
Subject: SHAKSPER Web Site Statistics
I recently, thanks to Ron Severdia, got tools by which I can study usage statistics for the SHAKSPER web site: shaksper.net.

LONDON (AP) - Bye for now New York, hello London: Spring womenswear previews opened at London Fashion Week Friday, as fashion editors, buyers and models fresh off the plane from the other side of the Atlantic kicked off a whirlwind series of catwalk shows in the British capital.
LONDON (AP) � Bye for now New York, hello London: Spring womenswear previews opened at London Fashion Week Friday, as fashion editors, buyers and models fresh off the plane from the other side of the Atlantic kicked off a whirlwind series of catwalk shows in the British capital.
It's too early to pick up any themes for the new season, and London, perhaps more so than the other fashion capitals, always offers up a good mix of different styles. On Friday there were classic, elegant and commercially safe outfits as well as edgy tough-girl chic, monochrome as well as pastels, and tailoring side by side with loose, flowing shapes.
Turkish designer Bora Aksu, the first to show over the 5-day event, started things off on a bright, cheerful note with a collection of sweet, doll-like dresses and skirts in lemon yellows, blues and bright pinks.
It looks like pink, now everywhere in shops for the autumn and winter season, could migrate to the next season. Later on in the day Jean-Pierre Braganza took the idea of girly innocence and gave it a tough, sexy twist, mixing up cotton-candy pinks with revealing styles and his signature asymmetrical hems.
Ladylike full skirts, too, seem to be here to stay for at least a while, as seen at Jasper Conran, who paired them with neat starched white collars, stripes or sheer organza overlays.
London Fashion Week, which came hot on the heels of its sister event in New York, will feature 58 catwalk shows in all, including Burberry, Vivienne Westwood, Julien MacDonald and Stella McCartney. It will be followed next week by shows in Milan and Paris.
London was awash in rain Friday, but within the comforts of his catwalk show space Aksu evoked sunnier climes and exotic Aegean holidays.
Aksu's catwalk show was an ode to his homeland, Turkey, featuring rich hand-woven textiles, ethnic embroidery and tassels. The preview opened with a series of white dresses, pencil skirts and shorts ensembles that focused on the clothes' textures: thick quilted cottons, crochets and laces, layered with wispy chiffons and tulles.
The silhouettes and many of the details were sweet and girly, with high collars, frills, puffy Victorian sleeves, tiered peasant skirts and flouncy shapes that hide the curves � though a cropped, boxy jacket here and there kept things from being too saccharine.
The Canadian-born Braganza's spring womenswear preview is inspired by the "contradiction of femininity," and his opening outfit tells you what this is all about: a satin dress suit with a businesslike blazer and a flirty mini skater skirt, in bold blocks of black, white and pale pink.
Braganza takes that interplay between sweetness and toughness further as his collection unfolds. The same baby pink reappears as dresses in his signature draped silhouette, tops and skirts with high-low hems and low-slung shorts. There's quite a lot of skin on show, whether through cutouts at the back or an asymmetrical hem that ends high at the thigh.
There are urban styles like a sporty, oversized tops and a sleeveless biker jacket in cracked leather, but also surprisingly elegant and easy to wear blouse and pencil skirt ensembles thrown in the mix.
It's all about big stripes and pretty, unfussy sun dresses at Conran's spring catwalk.
They're horizontal and vertical, wide and thin, sometimes put together in the same outfit. But they are far from jarring, thanks to the muted colors and neat, clean lines of the clothes.
Cotton and linen skirts were full, sometimes belted or pleated, but always hit just below the knee. That prettiness is topped with white floral lace, applique flowers and a starched white collar that appeared on pretty much everything. Long flowing kaftans with softly colored prints finished off the show.
