I don't really like this look but I'm not sure why. The colors are good like the blue and the yellow is really nice but the pants and the sneakers? Well, maybe it is the fact that it's probably really hot these days in NYC and she just looks overdressed for summer.
whoa. too much going on for me. colors fabulous. love the step out of the box attitude, but would like to see fanny pack off and longer pants with everything else. would like to know her, however. she's got to be creative and fun!
I actually adore that outfit.. it's so chic.
so cooool
this is okay, not my favorite. It does make her look quite young, but also fun. I just think it would be so hot!
first blog ever!!!!
Love the scarf and her smile :-)
I agree, a little too much going on, but the smile ties it all together.
She is adorable, but there is just too much. Take away any 2 things (ie, the purse and the scarf, the fanny pack and the gloves) and it might work better. Again, she is so cute, it hardly matters. Love the brown chuck t's, though.
No to the hate, the arm warmers, and the shoes. Between the ankles and the shoulders, however, his is a delight!
Happiness is hip~!
Ah! A modern Eponine... :)
Yellow is my favorite color ! too bad I can't wear it this nicely !! I really like her look !
I can decide what I like best: the scarf or the armwarmers or the bag that matches the scarf. Either way her smile says she put some thought into this outfit. :)
Cute, but come on: it's summer! Ditch the huge scarf, or trade it for something smaller. Definitely ditch the arm warmers. Not only are they too much for summer in NY, but they're so matchy-matchy with the shoes. I wouldn't wear socks with those shoes either.
Rule 1: Gigantic, ridiculous scarf is mandatory.
Rule 2: Have a great smile and wear your ostentatious, seasonally-inappropriate outfit with enthusiasm.
Love your stuff immensely. Not that you will read this or respond, but sorry, here's a somewhat un-P.C. question for you. Can you explain the lack of a consistent array of non-white people in your shots? Sometimes when I pay attention this it gives me eerie and sad feeling about fashion. Not to be self-important, or narcissistic, but I still feel like a black kid in the eighties, who loved fashion but rarely saw any people like him in the magazines(save for Grace Jones and Iman).Sorry.
lose the money belt, the shoes and the glove and think it would stll carry loads of attitude
I want to like this, but I cant. Two bags plus the fanny-pack??? This would be a prime example of "get dressed and before you leave the house take one (or two or three) thing off"
Jorge from WPB
a lot of winter accessories for this time of year, but it has been a chilly summer. I like that she seems to be dancing to the beat of her own drummer.
Yikes. Leave the hat & faux-sleeves & fanny pack at home and try a more form fitting top. Nice colors though. I guess if you're as cute at this girl is you can wear whatever you want though.
All the colours/tones work. And her cheeky smile is perfect.
Great smile but I personally detest Chuck Taylors!
It's all very appropriate for a cool summer day - which we've had quite a few of so far, UNTIL you get to the shoes. I guess when you're young you can try and pull that kind of crap and chalk it up to funky personal style. But there really isn't anything unique about a basic pair of Chucks. Like I said I love it from the neck to the knees.
That a whole lotta yellow scarf (too much?).
Can I just go to the fabric store and pick up two yards of something colourful and unfinished and throw it around my neck and go? Is that whats going on now, is that what we're doing?
so thrown together I cannot believe she makes this look okay to me....becuase on paper all this wis just like no
but she makes it yes
arm warmers in July? a billowy scarf in July?
but it's sweltering in nyc!! i don't get it.
it was chilly here yesterday
There is pieces that I love about this outfit. The hat, scarf, and bag around her waist I would keep. Everything else I'm not so sure about.
Not a fan of the pinstripe pants, but the mustard yellow scarf is fantastic.
i love this!!! yes its got alot going on but thats what makes it even better. its not OVER done but just enough to make someone do a doulbe take. truly inspirational. nice work. im definelty going to take this pocture into consideration next time i want to "dress up". oh and btw love the shoes. im a true converse girl at heart.
I'm sure some people don't like this, but this is what she's supposed to do.
I like basic items such as coverse or Nike air force 1 or etc. Even though she wears basic shoes, she does look different and cool. She's got a kind of talent. Creative.
Also The Sartorialist who took a picture of her is great. Thanks for the nice photo.
Beautiful Smile...sweet style with this Orange, love the pants too.
good capture !
Amazing colors!!! And such a smile.
The arm warmer/fingerless gloves are a little strange BUT smiling and happy wins the day. I also think she's missing a sock but again joy trumps morning organization.
THANKS for this fun "un-fashiony" shot. I have been missing street pix of people NOT in the industry.
cute :)
There's way too much going on here. She needs to edit this look by about 4 or 5 pieces.
Whada smile!
This is great on every level.
I wonder how she dresses when it's actually cold out???
Over the top - but when you're young, thin and cute, you can pull it off.
What a beautiful scarf. A plash of sunshine!
adorable. but subtract the brown arm warmers and brown converse and add some navy sandals and it would be perfect.
I just like the sweater (especially the sleeve) and the pants.
the rest is quite mediocre.
there is a lot going on with her outfit, but it's fun, fresh and cute. would be best suited for cooler weather, i'd think. maybe it was a bit chilly when she ventured outside.
anyway, it's a quirky look that seems to suit her.
I'm so surprised to see all the hate on this outfit. It makes me wonder if perhaps many have missed the point.
To me this is the epitome of street style: regular people displaying individual flair in unexpected ways. Not "off-duty" model after model wearing expensive designer labels while attempting to out-do each other in their use of black and minimalism. Those individuals simply display good taste.
While this woman displays creativity and enviable ease without sacrificing good taste (no "whore wear", no "look I'm wearing the outfit from the catalog", no directly lifted and poorly recycled 80s trends).
The use of color here is great.
Converse are classic. (Not to mention very practical in a city that requires as much walking as NYC.)
You can tell it's windy by the movement of the scarf, indicating the weather is cool enough to get away with a scarf.
The number of bags makes perfect sense since living in NYC means you have to carry everything, everywhere, all day. So why not 3 small bags instead of one huge ho-hum messenger bag like most of the population.
The scarf and arm warmers give the impression of layering without the weight and warmth of actual layering.
In short, it's a perfect mix street urchin and carefree boho, without looking age-inappropriate. The best part: you get the sense that her outward style is a reflection of her inner spirit.
Her smile is her best accessory! And her confidence in approach to fashion is spiriting.
Someone's got an accessories fetish! Ditch the arm warmers and the hat and I'll be happy. The hat covers way too much of her face.
OK, I really don't understand what's good/interesting/inspiring about this.
The vibrant yellow and the deep navy blue sweater are perfect compliments.
I definitely understand the choices...it has been strangely cool these days in NY. I think she is just being practical in an unconventional way.
I understand the urge from P.P.s to take something away, but I think it's how each piece breaks up part of the outfit that brings it all together.
Jaunty, fun, creative! Love it!
I am so pleased that Chuck Taylors are an enduring classic...always looking for new ways to wear them.
i actually quite like this look, i hope for her it was bearable in the heat of July.
ooooo!this outfit is perfect!very relaxed and cool!and this girl has a gorgeous gorgeous smile!
She is just so creative and unique..it's almost astounding! I love her incredibly big scarf and the fact she's wearing hi-top converse with dressy pants..I knew converse can make any look complete.
check out my trendy blog!
It's cool and creative, but it's not a summer favorite for me.

brilliant!! so complicated with everything, but it looks really comfortable!! and so full of life!!
This is absolutely fun and more fun! It is Summer and why not spin off into something that she is obviously very comfortable and so chic in wearing!.....Fashion at it's finest..
Thank you........L
She is dressed like she lives in Vancouver. Too granola. Too hippy.
this woman is proving the layman term of brown not going with black...right.
She is a bit of a train wreck...but then that is what fun is all about!! Who needs perfection?
She is comfortable, a chance-taker and brave, that's sexy because it highlights her confidence. Note: a woman can still be sexy with threads on. I image she has a dope fixed bike to get around - apart from the occasional use of the Metro.
Having that, remove the hat, tie her in an upward ponytail and Voila an urbanmosadi!
I adore how she's tied the scarf..very undone but chic.
Hi again, I thought I left a long comment but perhaps I didn't hit 'publish'.
I was quite moved by two comments: Enid (10:13), I've only been doing a streetstyle blog a few months (in London) & the most stylish 'groups', proportionally, are either brown/black, or asian/oriental. I often go up to someone stylish & white, even blond, and they turn out to be Italian. But oddly, even tho we live in a French neighbourhood, I rarely, if ever, find anyone who I feel is stylish, & turns out to be French. So much for style stereotypes! I felt for you, what you wrote.
2nd: anonymous, 1:40 pm. I felt the same thing. There are ways to say things. The lovely Stephanie C. is a good model to follow. I've often hesitated to post a shot of someone whose look I like, and chose to shoot, because I don't want them hurt by cruel comments. And obviously, my comments are far, far fewer.
If someone is asked to take that leap of faith and pose for a stranger, to be on the internet - if they're excitedly showing their family, friends - can you imagine what a blow it is to read critiques as if they were someone in the 'industry'? I'm sure this girl didn't wake up that morning and consult her stylist because she was going to be on the Sartorialist's blog. She's a regular girl with her own style, which is the whole point! I assume that's what you (the S) were going for: a real person.
But I did think she was dressed a bit warm for summer : ) Perhaps she was just prepared for a cold snap, or works in a super-air conditioned office and was just running out for a bite of lunch.
The look is adorable and so is she! I really like it!
It makes me feel overheated just looking at her.
I like this look. She's looks happy. How many people can say that?
As a knitter I will tell you arm-warmer disagrees that you have no idea what you are talking about. On the woolie or bamboo or silk blend street the arm/wrist warmers are happening. Guess what I don't leave home without - something to keep me warm in the meat-locker cold building of Central Texas. No one had A/C in New York?
I saw some arm warmers someone brought back from Europe last fall. Much more delicate than the work my friends and I do, but they were machine produced. Very pretty though. And layers are so mysterious.
what an adorable smile!!
I like it. It works on her. This is kind of the point, isn't it? It is something outlandish and haphazard, and on her it looks cute. Although it isn't put together, it IS cohesive.
Color combination is inspiring, and it's the attitude that makes this ensemble!
My neighbourhood is chock full of girls dressed in this style, but few of them ever look as good as this!
It's cool because there is a lot going on, and it's different. And the colours ARE great.
It can be quite cool in the mornings.
I love this outfit! I recently found similar "arm warmers" on ESTY and just thought, I HAVE to have those! Very cute and fun! http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=30606
I wish I had her scarf :(
im not a fan of the outfit but i love the way the bag looks in the light along with the mustard scarf
She is the cutest cross between and urban warrior and one of the orphans from Annie. I think it is cute and carefree.
Love the outfit and she looks very pretty in it. Very trendy...
I think removal of the arm warmers (not because i hate them, I LOVE them) would have been enough to get everyone to not feel overwhelmed...(try covering them with your fingers and see the outfit like that)...anyways, she's simply adorable.
Aw fanny pack!
i love this one, it's cool...
it's the hat. i'd vote for a ponytail, too.
soooo cute! Makes me want fall to come!! :)
like the scarf but the rest of the oufit seems a bit standard backpaker in thailand-ish.
Beautiful colors and smile!
Love the newsboy cap and the impish smile. I would ask her if she wanted to have lunch even before I asked her her name.
It shows the great sense of combination.All matches each other and looking cool
Cutie! get rid of the hat and I think people on this blog would have been a lot nicer. I personally think she's adorable AND fashionable! rock those chucks.
love the scarf!
Is that Bibi Farber? Reminds me of her.
Woooaahhh is she from Wellington, New Zealand? This outfit would not be out of place there.
a bit messy...
This girl is cute as a button and looks so darn happy!
I always travel like this with spare layers of scarfs, gloves, hats, arm-warmers, jackets, tights... that way you can stay out as long as your whim desires (...I feel the cold!)!
I like this because she looks like a little kid playing Amelia Earhart in her treehouse or something. It's really whimsical and fun, and I think that's what fashion should be. Fun. She clearly enjoyed getting dressed.
Pretty pretty pretty
i want that scarf so badly!
How cute! Although I do agree with other comments that something needs to be done with her pants ><
Nice one...
it is really very good to look at..
I just love to see fashion clothes and Leather Jackets .....
Thanks and Regards..
Harry Thomos

Well, The number of bags makes perfect sense since living in NYC means you have to carry everything, everywhere, all day. So why not 3 small bags instead of one huge ho-hum messenger bag like most of the population, thanx.

Everything is quite funky and well matched apart from the hat. Either lose the hat or do not allow it cover your face. Any clothes should go with a bright smiling face to make an impact.
well i think that adorable. but subtract the brown arm warmers and brown converse and add some navy sandals and it would be perfect. thanks

Acai Berries - Top 10 SuperFoods in the World
Acai Berries are harvested from the Acai Palm in the Brazilian rainforest of the Amazon, where the nutrient rich soil provide perfect growing conditions for this wonder fruit. Acai Berries have been used for centuries as a source of food by Brazilian natives, because of their pleasant taste, and high nutrient content.
In recent years, the Acai berry was acclaimed as one of the top 10 SuperFoods in the World by Dr Nicholas Perricone. Oprah spoke about the top SuperFoods that Dr. Perricone described and also linked the Acai Berry with a Colon Cleanse as part of a weight loss regime. This resulted in the little berry from the Amazon gaining quite a bit of fame and popularity in the Western world.
Weight Loss
Acai Berries provide the body with vitamins, minerals, fibre and other nutrients so are ideal for slimmers and dieters during periods when they may not be getting as many nutrients from their diet.
Acai Berry Capsules are also a great option for those who do not get enough fruits and vegetables in their diet or anyone interested in maintaining overall health.
High Antioxidant
Pure Acai berry has 15-20 times more antioxidants (anthocyanins) than red grapes.
When toxins build up in our body from the non-organic foods we eat and the polluted air that we breathe, anti-oxidants help to fight away the build up and keep our body healthy.
Acai berries have been found to have particularly high levels of the antioxidant polyphenols including rutin, anthocyanins, and catechins.
Anthocyanins are an incredibly powerful antioxidant derived from the essence that gives the Acai berry their amazingly deep purple coloring. Studies of anthocyanins have have shown that these antioxidants possess anti-inflammatory and nervous system benefits, and have been associated with improved cardiovascular health.
Energy Levels & Food Fibre
Highly nutritious, the Acai Berry is a near perfect protein and has a hugh amount of dietary fibre. Acai berries can give you a feeling of 'fullness' so they are often used by diabetics to help curb cravings for high sugar foods.
Research has shown consumption of acai berry is linked to a great boost in our energy levels, which is also known to control our moods.
As with all nutritional supplements, be aware of the various cheap and fake products available in the market.
These Pure Acai Berry capsules are manufactured under GMP standards with Certificates Of Analysis. This ensures you are purchasing the real thing from a reputable supplier.
These capsules provide 500mg of pure freeze dried acai berry. This allows the full synergy of antioxidants, essential and healthy oils, fibres and proteins found in Acai to be retained, providing you with optimal nutritioal support.
This high potency product provides you with 100% pure acai juice powder at a price you can afford.
- High quality made under GMP standards with certificates of conformity

The most beautiful, most majestic and most forgotten room in Stockton is the Memorial Room.
The most beautiful, most majestic and most forgotten room in Stockton is the Memorial Room.
If ever you entered the Stockton Memorial Civic Auditorium through the front doors, you've passed under it. Probably without ever suspecting it was up there.
It's a 96-foot long, high-ceilinged hall filled with grandeur and echoes: a geometric tile floor, Doric Roman columns, the auditorium's original multihued interior and intricately wrought ceilings trimmed with gold filigree.
It's like being in a public building in Washington, D.C., ... minus any people.
Also up there is the city's most overlooked public art: a 15-foot oil painting, unsigned, undated and of unknown provenance, depicting World War I doughboys.
How did such a gem of a room become so obscure? Well, the auditorium was built in 1925 as a tribute to fallen soldiers of WWI. Originally, veteran's organizations occupied its every corner. These groups faded over time.
Or moved out. The room's poor acoustics, the city's sprawl, and competition from new rental halls convinced the city to give up trying to book the room.
The city gave the key to the last veteran's outfit to occupy the auditorium: the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 52. The men's auxiliary meets up there monthly, as does a Combat Veterans Association.
Mostly, though, the Memorial Room just drifts through time, like an entryway to Mount Olympus long abandoned by the gods.
"I love it," said Sam Pachuca, the VFW post's junior vice commander.
"Everybody who walks in there, always right away what catches them are the pillars. Just the colors. How - how Romanistic."

Chestnut Hill College released a statement last night in which it called coverage of its dismissal of openly gay priest and religion professor Father Jim St. George sensational and distorted. The statement also expresses regret that the school did not communicate clearly the reasons for St. George's dismissal and reiterated the school's commitment to remaining an inclusive campus that "welcomes women and men from all religious faiths, cultures, backgrounds and lifestyles."
The school's statement arrived only hours before several news stories about St. George's past appeared in the Inquirer and Daily News that revealed St. George's prior conviction for fraud nearly 20 years ago. The conviction, for which St. George served 10 months in federal prison, stemmed from the misuse of funds at a funeral home he owned in Erie Pennsylvania. See Philly.com story.
Chestnut Hill College's statement:
"With regard to the recent coverage of Chestnut Hill College and Jim St. George, we express our sorrow for not communicating our decision, rife with complex and complicating factors, clearly.
"Our decision has been sensationalized and distorted becoming a source of deep pain and anguish for the members of our College Community, especially for those who are gay, as well as for our gay alumni, friends, benefactors, and neighbors. We ache for the negative impact this story is having on them. Likewise, we are sincerely sorry for the confusion and misinterpretation of facts that led people to draw conclusions about Chestnut Hill College that are inconsistent with our history.
" We are an inclusive Catholic community that welcomes women and men from all religious faiths, cultures, backgrounds and lifestyles. We value diversity and strive to treat every person with the respect, dignity, love, and compassion due a child of God. Are we perfect in living this aspect of our mission? No. Do we strive constantly to improve? Yes. We regret any instance in which we fail to exemplify the values and beliefs intrinsic to our College.
" It is our deepest hope that, ultimately, this divisive, painful experience will unify the Chestnut Hill College Community, and all those close to us, in a new and stronger bond so that we may strengthen our commitment to diversity and demonstrate our determination to work for justice, equality, and peace for each and every person.
"Chestnut Hill College is reviewing its policies and procedures to ensure that this situation never happens again."

Last month's teasing comes to fruition as NCsoft pulls back the curtain on City of Heroes Issue 16: Power Spectrum, putting the power to customize powers in the players' hands.
It really wasn't much of a secret, now was it? My biggest gripe about City of Heroes has long been the fact that I can spend 300 hours putting together a unique costume, but at the end of the day I'm just another guy shooting green stuff out of his hands. Well soon I'll be able to shoot red stuff or pink stuff....oooo, a pink superhero in hot pants who defeats evil with the power of love!
Okay, getting a bit ahead of myself.
Just about every power with a visible effect will be tweakable come Issue 16's release, with more physical powers like Martial Arts and Super Strength scoring different animation sets to help set Karate Man apart from Karatte Man.
Other changes coming in the next update include the unlocking of various power sets previous unavailable to certain archetypes, and the ability to tweak the difficulty to your liking, telling the game you want to be treated as say, an 8-person team.
Those aren't nearly as interesting as the Pink Avenger. Love beams away!

To this end I'm going to split the WS-* standards into five groups
- Good Idea - The standards that make sense and I can see being used
- Good Or Dumb - The standards that have potential to go either way
- DOA - The standards that have either died or shouldn't have been looked at
- Dangerous Idea - The standards that are down right dangerous and will cause more harm than good
- MIA - The standards that just don't exist, but which should
- WSDL - Its the interface, its a good idea, and WSDL 2.0 has some decent extensions that will cause issues (callbacks) but are there for a decent reason
- WS-Addressing - It was needed and it will help more complex deployments
- WS-Policy - Great idea, shame its not being universally adopted elsewhere
- WS-BPEL 2.0 - Just need that human workflow in there chaps
- WSDM - Good idea, and it seems like the implementation might be on the way too.]
- WS-RM - Reliability is a good idea
- WS-Trust, WS-Security etc - Damn good idea to do this in a standardised way
- WS-Federation - Federated things are good, centralised things are bad
- Semantic Web Services - Could very easily turn into intellectual masturbation and very little real world practicality. Could also be fronted by decent tools and provide a great way to add more formalism to a contract.
- WS-Context - Looks like a good spec on paper, the devil in this one will be in the implementation, bit worried about the WS-CTX service which looks like a big central attempt to manage context, and the lack of reference to process standards such as WS-BPEL, could DOA in a year.
- UDDI - Never realised its grand vision, sure its still going inside some decent products but it clearly isn't the standard it was cracked up to be
- WSN - Web Service Notification, again its down to the implementations here, I haven't seen much out in the wild that indicates its going strong, even though its a 1.3 standard.
- WSRF - Resource management, it sounds beguiling but I'd bet on this moving into Dangerous as product implementations start coming out and making resource state into some complex beast, they could however make it trivial and please the "stateless" invocation crews.
- WS-Choreography - sounded so good, but just doesn't seem to have the weight behind it
- FWSI - Hadn't even heard of it till I started this post
- WSRP - RSS does a better job
- Web Service Quality Model - Sounded good... but has it gone anywhere?
- WS-Reliability et al - killed off by the better WS-RM standards
- WS-Discovery - Jini broadcast discovery for Web Services... oh god.
- WS-TX - Two Phase Commit via Web Services, I'm sorry this is in my dumb ideas group. People will expose this via the internet and then "wonder" why they are having massive performance problems. If something is so closely bound in that it needs 2PC, then build it tightly bound, not using Web Services.
- WS-BusinessActivity - Shifts logic around into the ether, not a great idea
- WS-Contract - Defining business contracts on services, include pre, post and invariants
- WS-SLA - defining the SLA for both the service, and the invocation.
Any I've missed or any ratings that are wrong?

text: Back on the old board, there was a thread about the possibility of some of the older, deleted shows being re-cast and re-released. I didn't see a thread about this on the new board, so I thought I'd ask again. I'm looking for two shows in particular to complete "the collection", The Debut Show and Tango and Cash Invitational. I've checked back dozens of times over the past couple of months to see if they're being offered for sale again, and no such luck. And no, I'm not interested in any VHS copies that SMV might have.

In a unique art, music and performance-based installation, thirty hand-painted and gaily-decorated pianos are being placed in public spaces across Sthn Cali with the invitation to anyone to sit down and play.
Devised by artist Luke Jerram, this art project has been touring internationally since 2008, touching down in cities such as Sydney, London and Bristol to name a few.
Now the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO) has brought Play Me, I'm Yours to Los Angeles. For its LA incarnation, the three week-long project will launch at noon on Thursday April 12, 2012, and will feature simultaneous performances by thirty pianists, meaning performances by professional musicians as well as local music students at all thirty locations. After that, for the following three weeks, these pianos are available to any member of the public to play and enjoy. Even you!
The thirty pianos, designed and decorated by local artists and community organizations, are featured across Los Angeles County and are available for everyone to play, in celebration of acclaimed conductor and pianist Jeffrey Kahane's 15th anniversary as LACO music director. Maestro Kahane will kicks off the 'lunch launch' in Downtown L.A. on Thurs. You can go here to learn more about Jeffrey and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.
The installation, a unique gift to Southern California, launches with this free, countywide event on Thursday, featuring a simultaneous performance of the Preludes from Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1 on all 30 pianos. Promising local music students as well as acclaimed musicians ranging from Kahane to Lucinda Carver; Los Angeles Master Chorale Music Director/LA Opera Resident Conductor Grant Gershon; Mark Robson of Piano Spheres; Bryan Pezzone; Rueibin Chen; Pasadena Master Chorale Artistic Director Jeffrey Bernstein; Peter Walsh; Gavin Martin; Tom McDonald; Piano Spheres Founding Member and Pasadena Conservatory of Music Piano Department Chair Susan Svrcek; Gideon Rubin; and LACO Composer-In-Residence Derek Bermel will each perform the first Prelude at noon followed by an additional Prelude from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1 and a selection of pieces of their own choosing.
Also helping with the musical kickoff are LACO Board member Raymond Lowe and Leslie Thomas, Director of the Community Arts Division for the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, both accomplished pianists in their own right.
"This special countywide tribute to Jeffrey Kahane reflects Jeffrey's incredible artistry, unbridled passion for music, deep devotion to music education, and all that he has given musically to Los Angeles during his tenure," says LACO Executive Director Rachel Fine.
Anyone can tickle the ivories at the Santa Monica Pier and the Annenberg Community Beach House. To find the piano nearest you go to the official site. For additional information about Play Me I'm Yours, please call 213 622 7001 x 221.
You can also go to the official website to read and leave comments, upload films and photos about the pianos.

Halo: Forward Unto Dawn episode 2 released
The second of five planned episodes of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn has released.
The weekly webisode series surrounding Halo 4 presses onward, with the second episode of Forward Unto Dawn out today. This one follows the cadets decoding videos, clashing with each other, and learning to be proper UNSC heroes. Sometimes that means a little self-sacrifice.
This is the second of five episodes to be released weekly, culminating in the finale releasing on November 2, just before the game's November 6 launch. The game's Limited Edition will include the series, and a "Special Edition" of the web series will be available to purchase in December.
If you missed the first episode, check it out here.
Steve Watts posted a new article, Halo: Forward Unto Dawn episode 2 released.

The legal charity Reprieve has welcomed a settlement the al Saadi family have accepted from the UK Government over their role in forcibly 'rendering' them to Gaddafi's Libya in 2004.
Sami al Saadi, a leading Gaddafi opponent, was forced on board a plane in Hong Kong – having sought for years to avoid the agents of the Libyan dictator –with his wife and four young children in a joint UK-US-Libyan operation.
They were then flown to Libya, where all of them were initially imprisoned and Mr al Saadi was held and tortured for years.
Evidence of the UK's part in the operation – the only known instance in the 'War on Terror' when 'extraordinary rendition' was practiced on an entire family, with young children – emerged after the fall of Colonel Gaddafi in 2011.
CIA correspondence with Libyan intelligence, found in spy chief Moussa Koussa's office by Human Rights Watch after the fall of Tripoli, states that "we are…aware that your service had been cooperating with the British to effect [Sami al Saadi's] removal to Tripoli…the Hong Kong Government may be able to coordinate with you to render [Sami al Saadi] and his family into your custody."
The operation in 2004 followed then UK Prime Minister Tony Blair's 'Deal in the Desert' with Gaddafi, as a result of which UK intelligence services helped track down and hand over his opponents.
Another victim was Abdul Hakim Belhaj, who was rendered alongside his pregnant wife. A fax from MI6 head of counter-terrorism Sir Mark Allen to Moussa Koussa, also found after the fall of Tripoli, said: "I congratulate you on the safe arrival of [Mr Belhaj]. This was the least we could do for you and for Libya. I know I did not pay for the air cargo [but] the intelligence [on him] was British."
Mr Belhaj continues to pursue legal action against the British Government.
Mr al Saadi today made the following statement: "My family suffered enough when they were kidnapped and flown to Gaddafi's Libya. They will now have the chance to complete their education in the new, free Libya. I will be able to afford the medical care I need because of the injuries I suffered in prison.
"I started this process believing that a British trial would get to the truth in my case. But today, with the government trying to push through secret courts, I feel that to proceed is not best for my family. I went through a secret trial once before, in Gaddafi's Libya. In many ways, it was as bad as the torture. It is not an experience I care to repeat.
"Even now, the British government has never given an answer to the simple question: 'Were you involved in the kidnap of me, my wife and my children?'
"I think the payment speaks for itself. We will be donating a portion of the proceeds to support other Libyan torture victims. We look forward to the result of the police investigation and hope there will be a full and fair public inquiry into our case."
Khadija al Saadi, Sami's eldest daughter who was rendered to Libya aged 12 said: "I wrote to Ken Clarke when I heard about the secret courts plan, but he would not say that he would not seek to try my case in secret. I still feel this would have been unnecessary, unfair, and unworthy of the UK. I hope the inquiry will be as open and as fair as the phone hacking inquiry."
Reprieve Legal Director Kat Craig said: "We now know that Tony Blair's 'Deal in the Desert' was bought with ugly compromises. Perhaps the ugliest was for MI6 to deliver a whole family to one of the world's most brutal dictators. There needs to be a full and fair inquiry into these issues, and it ought to get started right away. Everyone agreed that Lord Justice Leveson could do his work properly with serious criminal charges pending against many of the key people—there is nothing to stop the Libyan torture inquiry beginning tomorrow."
Abdul Hakim Belhaj, who went on to lead the battle for Tripoli after his rendition, said: "When my friend Sami Al-Saadi was freed from Abu Salim prison on 23 August 2011, he weighed seven stone. He was close to death. It is a miracle he survived his ordeal and is home with his family.
"I understand and support his decision to provide his family with security, pay for his medical care, and support other victims of torture.
"I intend to fight to ensure the truth is told. I have said before, and I say again now, my wife and I will not allow the truth to be concealed. We look forward to giving evidence at trial, and seeing those responsible for our torture and that of Sami and his family held to account."
Sapna Malik of Leigh Day added: "The sheer terror experienced by the al Saadi family when they were bundled on to their rendition flight and delivered up to their nemesis clearly lives with them all to this day. Having concluded one part of their quest for justice, they now look to the British criminal courts to hold those responsible for their ordeal to account and await the judge-led inquiry they have been promised."

Working in Archives #3: Using the archive
3 comments:
- Shag from Brookline said...
I enjoy these posts on archives research. Will there eventually be an article incorporating your posts on this subject that can be readily downloaded and printed?

- Mitch Fraas said...
I would add to the great advice here that even in the most digitally minded archives (where it's tempting never to use anything else), the hardcopy catalogs in the archives themselves are usually much more thorough and useful. I've often been fooled by a search of an archive's online catalog into thinking that nothing of interest was to be had, only to find later that indeed many items never made it online.
Though in the end, I think both online and paper catalogs often suffer from the overly broad date range. There's nothing like getting a collection or box labeled 1725-1800 and finding it contains 50 documents from 1799 and 1 from 1725.

Thanks for this, Emily.
About those other researchers at the archives...I got some great advice from Ellen Schrecker, historian of the McCarthy era, when I met her on my first trip to a presidential archive, the Truman Library, many years ago. I was also intimidated by all the others. But Ellen said: "Get to know people. They'll find things for you."
By the time I visited the JFK Library, I was a little more comfortable. Whenever I had a chance I would just ask what others were working on. And though I often don't like to take breaks at the archives (to save all my time for the research while they're open), sometimes I would organize lunches and even dinners. Being something of a social secretary for your fellow researchers can have its benefits. Since others knew what I was working on, when I had trouble finding material I needed in the files that seemed most relevant, another scholar, working on a completely different topic, stumbled upon what I needed in a collection I never would have looked at.
And a final tip: at those archives in places like Indepenence, MO or Abilene, KS, there's nothing like having a car. You become indispensable to your colleagues. If they don't return the favor with an archival find, you may still have made fast friends, perhaps with a senior colleague you never expected to meet.

|ToolMatch Implementation Talkoot
|Christopher Lynnes
|Earth Science Collaboratory
Information Technology and Interoperability
Semantic Web
Energy and Climate
|ToolMatch (http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/ToolMatch) is a community-built set of semantic web applications to match datasets up with the tools that work on them. Simply by contributing information about datasets and the tools that work with them, we will be able to present data users with a comprehensive list of useful, appropriate tools. ToolMatch is currently underway within the Semantic Web cluster. Depending on where we are at the time of the workshop, the Implementation Party may consist of working on application and ruleset design, integration, and population of the ToolMatch database. Yes, we will actually be baking ToolMatch right there in Madison!
|Documenting Data in Multiple Dialects
|Ted Habermann
|CF Standards
Decisions Discovery
Information Quality
Information Technology and Interoperability
|ESIP partners use data in many in formats and across many communities. These communities have different documentation needs and address those needs using different standards and conventions. ESIP exists at the crossroads of these communities, a natural "marketplace" where many dialects can be heard. It is a perfect place to identify needs shared across multiple communities and build understanding of how those needs are addressed. This understanding, in turn, facilitates sharing of documentation and the data they describe across communities. This workshop will address documentation dialects used across ESIP. Candidates include ISO, FGDC, DIF, CF, ACDD, ECHO, and EML. Members of the community that can represent these dialects in the discussion are needed.
|The Realities of Implementing Identifier Schemes to Data Objects
|Nancy Hoebelheinrich
|Preservation and Stewardship

Data Management Training
|Study of nine different identifier schemes by the Data Stewardship Committee resulted in recommendations for use of certain schemes for data objects. The recommendations were tempered by the caveat that implementation of the nine schemes could change the recommendations. For the second phase of the study. a test was set up to implement the nine identifier schemes by assigning identifiers to two different data sets and at least some of the components of the data sets. This presentation will present the findings based on that test for discussion by the various ESIP committees and clusters interested in furthering the discussion of identifiers for data objects, and for non-data objects.
|Using Technology Tools To Enhance Collaboration: Solutions from Education Initiatives
|Becky Reid
Climate Education
Internal ESIP Education
