Welcome aboard!
I actually think the refs are extremely lucky the game didn't get far uglier. I agree the hit should have been 5 + game, but at least after the first scrum Keith should have gotten a game misconduct just to get his ass out of there. Probably Bieksa should have gone too, fortunately he didn't do anything stupid after that (plus no Hawks were willing to take him on apparently).

But the bad news today is that Daniel is not feeling well.
From Twitter....
Jim Jamieson The Province
"#Canucks Henrik said he spoke to Daniel last night after he got back to Van. Still not feeling well."
Darren Dreger
"While the NHL maps out its discipline hearing plan for Duncan Keith...Daniel Sedin is not well and will be further evaluated later today."
Brad Ziemer
"Henrik talked to Daniel last night after he arrived back in Vancouver. Still not feeling great, dealing with headaches. #Canucks"
If there was something that changed in the eyes of the league to make them consider a longer suspension for Keith, it seems to be Daniel's health.

Did he hit him in the head...yes.
Should it have been a penalty...yes.
A suspension...by the letter of the law (whatever law that is the NHL is following these days)...yes.
But I do not believe there was any intent other than to finish his check with his shoulder to Keiths body as hits are meant to be.
Thus I do not think he can wish anything other than that he should have been more aware of where Keiths head was. It was still within the realm of being a hockey play.
The premeditated, predatory retaliation is an entirely different animal and has nothing to do with hockey and far more to do with mean street retribution as I think we all realize.

Clean it was, solid body shot along the boards, shoulder caught a bit of chin along the way......suck it up Duncan.

Please note: Kaplan Business and Law School is now part of Kaplan Holborn College. Find out more.
Helping your son or daughter find the right course for them is a difficult task, especially when they are looking to study away from home. That's why we've dedicated a section of our website to you, the parents and family of the students we teach. You play a huge part in the success of your offspring by supporting them before, during and after their studies.
Whilst students are with us we try to ensure that our campus is like a home away from home for them. Our staff do all that they can to help students settle in, and we take our duty of care for your child incredibly seriously. We're just as proud to be playing a part in your child's academic and professional development as you are as parents, and together we can help them make the very best of their ability.
Throughout this area of the site you will find information and resources to help you understand the adventure that your son or daughter is about to embark upon. We want you to understand just as much as your son and daughter what higher education is all about, and the difference it can make to a young person's life.
You play an important role when it comes to the success of your son or daughter whilst studying at Kaplan Holborn College. Parents and guardians often provide financial support, career guidance and aid to future life endeavours. Most significantly, but less obviously, parents provide an important element of stability at a time when many things are in a state of change - new friends, new responsibilities and new places. This life changing time can be overwhelming, but parents and guardians that provide a solid foundation and support whilst their student is away from home truly aid in their student's academic success. Students that receive this emotional back-up and support of family members tend to have a much easier transition to higher education.
As you know, applying to university, surviving the exams necessary to get there and settling into a new and unfamiliar environment can be a difficult time and young people often need all the support they can get. If students get solid support from home, along with excellent pastoral care and guidance from Kaplan Holborn College, they are on the right foot to achieving academic excellence.
This section focuses on areas specifically of interest to parents and guardians, but please feel free to browse other sections so you feel comfortable sending your student to Kaplan Holborn College. While this section generally refers to parents, it applies equally to guardians and all other carers who may play a significant role in the student's life. Kaplan Holborn College generally welcome parents on open days and other events before enrolment and will invite you to other events during your student's time with us.
At Kaplan Holborn College, we have a trained counsellor onsite and we assist students in a timely manner to get them the assistance they need at their time of crisis.
This is for anyone who feels that they need support in dealing with difficulties they are going through. Often students may have feelings which are frightening, or which may seem embarrassing or unacceptable. In these circumstances it can help to speak to a professional. It is often easier to talk with someone you don't know, as they can be objective about you and your problems in a way which may not be possible for friends and family.
Counsellors do not give advice or tell you what to do. This is because what is right for one person is not necessarily right for another. In the counselling profession it is believed that everyone is capable of making their own choices and finding the outcome that is best for them. A counsellor will help your student to understand and clarify their feelings so that they can hopefully see more clearly what choices they have. However, if they are looking for specific advice or information, a student may need to see someone other than, or in addition to, a counsellor. Student Services can provide assistance with this.
Kaplan Holborn College is a diverse international community of students, faculty and staff, which many of whom have diverse religious beliefs. As part of its commitment to diversity and to creating a tolerant and inclusive community, the College recognises it is important that all are treated with equal dignity and respect, which includes respect for religious or other beliefs. Kaplan Holborn College is concerned with permitting and facilitating the free practice of religion by its staff and students. Find out more about our multi-faith support.
At Kaplan Holborn College, we have full time staff that are hired and trained to meet the needs of our students. Since it is a small community, we take pride and work hard at looking after our students and have a reputation as a friendly, supportive and caring community. Our staff will go the extra mile, so you will find understanding people who will support you and point you in the right direction, and a customer-focused service that make a real difference.
Please note that all queries relating to the payment of tuition fees must be addressed to the College's Finance Office. No other person or department within the College can deal with these issues. Payment of fees may be made by bank transfer, credit/debit card, cheque or cash in pounds sterling. To maintain our fees at their current good value it is essential that all fees are paid at the appropriate time. All students starting or re-enrolling must pay at least 50% of their fees at the time of enrolment. The remaining 50% becomes due before or at the enrolment session of the next semester.

Published January 1, 1999.
We wanted to develop a bread pudding recipe that would show real contrast between the crust and the filling in both texture and flavor. And the consistency of the pudding would have to sit halfway between that of a custard and that of a sauce. So for our bread pudding recipe we started with good-quality American sandwich bread, cut into cubes, and skipped the toasting step. We soaked most of the bread in the custard mixture for 20 minutes and placed the unsoaked bread atop the soaked bread and custard in the pan for a crisp top layer.
A firm white American-style bakery loaf bread gives the best texture to this pudding. In a pinch, however, use Pepperidge Farm Hearty White Bread. Avoid chewy, crusty European-style breads because they do not soften properly in the custard. For an extra-creamy bread pudding with a sauce beneath a crisp top layer, remove about 1 cup of soaked bread and 1 cup of soaking liquid to a food processor or blender and puree them until smooth, about 10 seconds. Add the puree back to the rest of the mixture and stir to combine before transferring it to the baking dish. If desired, serve this pudding with softly whipped cream.
Dear Friend,
These days, it's pretty easy to get free recipes on the Internet. I'm sure a search for "roast chicken recipe" will turn up thousands and thousands. But, as with so much on the web, you should tread lightly if you don't know the source.

Our test cooks spend their days obsessively testing recipes until they offer consistently great results. As we like to say here, "We make the mistakes so you don't have to."
CooksIllustrated.com is the only place you can find not only 20 years' worth of our foolproof recipes, but also objective ratings of cookware, and blind taste tests for hundreds of everyday supermarket ingredients (hey, without the proper ingredients and equipment you can still run into problems — no matter how good the recipe).

After completing a basement renovation we find ourselves with a large amount of wood lamanent left over. To save some money, would it be possible to use this in our master bath to get rid of the pink tiles? If so, should remove the tiles or can the lament be installed over them? (We didn't install the lamenent in the basement) | |||
You can install laminate in the bathroom and provided it's a floating laminate floor, you can install it on top of the tile - provided that the tile is fairly level. However - A floating floor is not the best surface to install in a bath - even though the manufacturers claim you can do it. The problem is that it's impossible to 100% seal the floor from moisture. As it's almost a certainty that a bathroom will see some decent amounts of water on the floor sometime, eventually you will have water that is trapped underneath your floating floor. It's hard to beat a tile or good quality vinyl floor in a bathroom. Jaybee | ||||
I'm speaking from experience. We owned a home which had that in the kitchen, entry and bathroom. Even as careful as we were, water got under the floor and caused issues. Go a different route!!!! | ||||
The standard is to have a wet room with a plastic floor and wall covering the floor covering is one piece and goes up the wall some way to create a sort of well in the case of flooding - just checked my bathroom - re-built last year and the floor covering goes up the wall 8cm and the wall covering comes down on top of it. The water outlet from the shower and wsh basin goes under the floor and joins the outlet from the toilet before going into the waste pipe and there is a sort of non-return u-bend that stops anything coming back up. works just fine with no smells | ||||
Yes we also had the same problem so I will also suggest you no to go with that wood lamanent!!! It will not save your money rather it gives you more trouble in future!! bedford behind on house payment hurst sell house fastThis message has been edited. Last edited by: DorisLira, | ||||
I don't disagree with other's comments above, but... If you have quite a bit left over and unused (but not enough to sell for a whole room) then what do you have to loose? It goes in easy, (and will come out pretty easy if water damaged). Make sure to glue joints and caulk around toilet flange and tub, and just be careful about water use/leaks. | ||||
Two years ago, I had ceramic put in the main bath, along with the utility area, back entry, kitchen, and dining area. I love it and can't think of anything that I would like that would come close to it. It is so functional and easy to clean, and will last and look great forever. FIRE RESISTANT BOARDThis message has been edited. Last edited by: LagimeBolso, | ||||
I wouldn't advise you to install laminate in a bathroom. When water gets underneath, and believe me it will get there sooner that you expect, it will cause problems and eventually you will need to replace the laminate. You will need to find another way of using the left over materials. Holland And Green Architectural Services | ||||
I think this is good idea to install laminate over the tiles. It would really save your money. Bathroom Renovation Services | ||||
But I would be cautious about following any advice from someone that can't follow a simple rule such as "NO ADVERTISING IS ALLOWED". They obviously don't care about doing what is right. Or are incapable of it. And if they don't care about doing what is right, then their web site is totally untrustworthy and useless.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Re-mdlr, | ||||
U could put a waterproof membrane down first, like Schluter, then u should be ok. | ||||
Actually, no. While a membrane would protect your subfloor, the problem with a floating floor in a high moisture area is that the trapped moisture will either warp and buckle the floating floor, remain under the floor and start to mold or both. Jaybee | ||||
break out the pink tile with a rental hammer drill and broad blade, and any cementatious underlayment. check a hole in the floor someplace, like at an access panel, and if there is more than 1-1/4 inch of solid wood floor, go with Hardie underlayment or Durock over thinset, and retile. that's your longest-lasting option. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||

CHEYENNE — The Wyoming All-State Marching Band will march in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on Thursday.
The band consists of 245 high schoolers from 36 schools around Wyoming.
The band will wear white pants, red and blue shirts and white cowboy hats.
It will play classic Western music — the theme from "The Magnificent Seven," "Ghost Riders in the Sky," "Silverado," and the University of Wyoming's fight song, "Ragtime Cowboy Joe."
Their music will be heard by more than 2 million people who will line the parade route. An estimated 45 million people will watch the parade on television.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports that the Wyoming All-State Marching Band last played the parade in 1995.
Parade organizers select only 11 bands annually.

Check out this new bad boy. I crammed this Drexel dresser into my wagon last week and got an incredible deal for it. I knocked it down from $50 to $35. It seriously never hurts to ask for a teen–tiny discount at a thrift store. I bat my little lashes for my favorite Salvation Army ladies and it just melts their geriatric heart away. Whatever it takes to save a few bucks. You feel me?
It's about time I updated my dresser. Things have been looking same old, same old around here. Here's the before. I love the ribbed, wooden panels and the gold trims. I definitely think it jibes better with all the knickknacks. The old dresser is relegated as a working station and for storing prints in the workroom.
Anyway, I'm thrilled to get a nice buzz over at Apartment Therapy for my evolving vignettes. Thanks Laure! There were a few comments about it being too cluttered. I'm a listener so I tried the "less is more" approach. This is as less as I will go. What are your thoughts? But of course, it just ended up being like this later. Hah! So don't worry, I don't plan to change my ways around here.
31 comments:
personally, i tend to like the "cluttered" look. you have to do what works best for you and suits your personality in your space. i really admire super streamlined and barren homes, but i know that i'd feel like i was living in an empty house if my home looked like that. ;)
p.s. what's up with your AMAZING luck?!@ Shannon There is also a place for less is more but for the most part, I'm a more is more person. I need to have my shiz where I can see them.
@ Japanese Trash Thanks for the encouragement. That means a lot. Always go with your gut instincts.
@ Sallylouvintage Talk to me, girl!
@ Design Junkie Thank you!
@ Christina I know. When it comes, it pours and then I'll hit a dry spell.
@ Celia Right. I also love looking at super minimal, barren homes but when I try it out, it just feels sterile to me. I need to be surrounded by things. And for luck part, I don't know. They come in waves.
@ Süsk I know, those poopers. Go Dunst Prints! Because we just LOVE our Dunst girl.
@ Cassandra Aw, you're too sweet.Fuh me! This is amazingly G O R G E O U S!! How do you find these things?! I loved seeing your evolving vignettes over on AT. Just don't do anything or try to change your ways because of whatever you read. It's why I love seeing your styling and photos.. you're unique. Please don't become a sheep! lol. Stay true to yourself D.
ReplyDeleteI'll come out from "lurking" to say I love all your finds and all your styling. As others have said, "less is more" is just a style, not a rule. And you do "more is more" (as Shannon called it) with such skill and finesse! Your very inspiring and that Drexel is a beauty - can't wait to see more evolving vignettes on it!
ReplyDeletehey i'm no sad susan! lol i am also on the camp of stuff where i can see them - if they're put away, i forget about them. this drives my boyfriend NUTS as he is a "less is more" and gets upset at all the "clutter" on our shelves and such. to me those spaces always feel so sterile as well! i always love your evolving vignettes - to each their own!

Georgina's Raw Journey
Fast - day 8
whooo hoo ... this fasting malarky is fun! Planning to switch to smoothies tomorrow but that may have to wait until I get my magic bullet. If I keep all the week days free for fasting (juice or water) then I can use the electricity at work. At the weekends I can have yummy solid raw food.
I feel as though I have totally met the target for re-setting my appetite. I haven't been hungry at all for the past 8 days!

2 dead after shooting at Fla. VFW
WINTER SPRINGS(AP) — Two people are dead and another is injured after a shooting at a central Florida VFW post.
Winter Springs Police said a charity motorcycle ride was supposed to depart from VFW Post 5405 when the shooting broke out Sunday morning while the riders were eating breakfast. The Orlando Sentinel reports an unknown number of armed men came in and began firing. It's unclear if any of the attendees shot back.
Winter Springs Police spokesman Lt. Doug Steeley said the agency has detained several people and confiscated a number of weapons.
VFW, or Veterans of Foreign Wars, posts around the country care for veterans and their families.

It's the best appliances if you love to cook and want professional-grad appliances but don't have the space for a Wolf, Viking or Sub Zero.Everything that Miele makes is of very high quality and well designed. I own a Miele S7 vacuum cleaner and it's the best vacuum I have ever owned, hands down much better than a Dyson.

- Saybrook Commons Login
Saybrook University is accredited by the Senior Commission of Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), a regional accrediting agency recognized by the US Department of Education and by the State of California. Saybrook participates in a regularly scheduled re-accreditation process conducted by the Senior Commission of WASC."The Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities" is responsible for the evaluation of the quality and effectiveness of colleges and universities offering the baccalaureate degree and above in California, Hawaii, Guam, and the Pacific Basin."
The process requires Saybrook to provide requisite reports to WASC and a series of visits to Saybrook by an independent team selected by WASC. Saybrook underwent a Special Visit from WASC in March of 2012. As a result of that visit, WASC reaffirmed Saybrook's accreditation. Links to the officially approved information about Saybrook that is maintained by WASC and results of the most recent process, including the Site Visit Team Report and the WASC Commission Action Letter, may be found at the bottom of this page.
Over the next couple of months, a steering committee will review the Action Letter and the Site Team Report to begin prioritizing the issues we must address in the coming years. It is important to note that we cannot address every issue that is identified in the Site Team Report. We will take our cue from the issues listed in the WASC Action Letter. Using that as our starting point, we must develop priorities and a plan that reflects our most pressing needs and our capacity to address those needs. This effort will also be coordinated with our Strategic Agenda development. Following the prioritization activities, by December 2012, we will develop an Action Plan for addressing said issues.
As the Action Letter below notes, Saybrook's current 7-year re-accreditation period began in June 2008. According to that timeframe, our next comprehensive re-accreditation process must be completed by June 2015. To accomplish re-accreditation, we will be engaged in WASC's new re-accreditation process, which requires delivery of an institutional self-study during Summer 2014. That self-study will be reviewed by WASC during Fall 2014, followed by a site visit from WASC during Spring 2015, with a re-accreditation decision coming in early Summer, 2015.

Adobe has taken a bold and great step forward embracing the HTML5 technology suite by coming up with a tool called Adobe Edge. Ever since Apple decided to stop supporting Flash on their mobile devices, the trend seems to have picked up as more and more vendors and manufacturers seem to be following the same route by not including Flash on their devices. In November 2011, Adobe had officially announced that they are no longer going to support Flash on the mobile devices and Edge is most probably a result of Adobe going in the direction of open standards like HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript.
With Adobe Edge you can create animated and interactive HTML5 content with power, precision and ease. Much like most of the animation tools, Edge seems to have included an easy to use timeline based interface to create powerful Flash like animations using open standards such as HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript. You can add motion to an exisiting HTML or create new compositions to integrate your content. You can also extend your compositions by using pre existing code snippets or writing Javascript code.
The preview of Edge was released to Adobe Labs in August 2011 and is available to download here.

Cancer Drug Steals Identity 0
If you've turned on the television in the past decade, you've likely seen a drug commercial with a federally mandated list of rather bizarre side effects such as the restless leg syndrome drugs that increase the urge to gamble. However, one commonly used cancer treatment drug, capecitabine, has a side effect which can get you into trouble at customs check points – capecitabine can erase finger prints.
The drug, which is prescribed fairly regularly to prevent cancer from returning, is known to cause inflammation and blistering of the palms and soles of the feet. After prolonged use, the repeated swelling and blistering can leave patients without finger prints. Where things get complicated is that sometimes the swelling isn't pronounced enough to affect patients and cause doctors to remove capecitabine from their drug regimens.
This is exactly what happened to one patient chronicled by the BBC. This patient was travelling to the United States where he was held by immigration officials for four hours. Their reasoning? The man's finger prints had vanished.

AFLEX, Ky. — "This community used to be so nice, it was a safe, wonderful community to raise your children in and you never had to worry about crime," stated Emma Porter, a resident of Aflex, Ky., who was voicing her concern about the escalating drug traffic and growing crime rate in her neighborhood.
"I guess those days are long gone."
"I know this is a worldwide problem, I'm well aware of that. But speaking as a 78-year-old woman, I can tell you that there's not a night that goes by that I don't have to wrestle with the fears of being broken in on, robbed and possibly killed. It's only by the grace of the good Lord up above that I sleep at all."
Porter spoke with the Williamson Daily News in an exclusive interview about what she calls the "goings and comings" of a steady stream of traffic to certain homes near where she lives. The elderly woman said that in any given day, she has noted approximately 15-25 vehicles pulling in to a nearby residence and said the occupants of the cars and trucks will spend somewhere around 5-10 minutes inside, maybe less, and then they leave.
"You can't tell me anyone that's not up to no good would have that many people in and out of their house in a day's time," remarked Porter. "I have a large family that visits me frequently to check on me and make sure I'm okay and to see if I need anything, and even with all of them making stops here, it doesn't even begin to compare to what I can sit in my living room and watch take place at the house I'm talking about."
"There's been several burglaries and break-ins up here too and I know that elderly people are often the targets of these criminals because number one, they know we're old and frail and they think we can't fight them off, and number two, they assume we're on medication for pain and that's what they're looking for – prescription pills, money or something worth a few dollars that they can go pawn."
The concerned resident stated that she had contacted both the Pike County Sheriff's Department (PCSD) and Pikeville Post 9 of the Kentucky State Police (KSP) with the information concerning the heavy traffic area, and was told it would be placed in the hands of officers working that area.
KSP Post 9 Public Information Officer, Trooper Shaun Little told the Daily News that he wanted to assure the public that every report or tip that is called into their Post is entered into their system and is given to the troopers assigned to that location.
"Our Drug Enforcement Investigation Section of Pikeville Post 9 compiles and uses these tips and matches it to information they may have already received or that gets reported in the future," stated Trooper Little.
"These investigations take time, there's a process we have to go through and in most cases, and a lot of hours of work are logged in prior to making an arrest. We greatly appreciate any and all tips concerning suspected drug activity or a location of high traffic areas, this information helps tremendously."
Little stated that if information has been received for this particular residence, he was confident troopers and detectives were working the case. He added that the safety and security of the public is always the top priority of the KSP, and said that residents of Pike County are urged to come forward with any knowledge they may have about suspicious behavior or happenings in their communities.
"You can call, provide your tips and not give your name," stated Little. "You can remain anonymous; your identity is not required to be disclosed. The number for Post 9 is 606-433-7711 or 1-800-222-5555."
Porter concluded her interview by saying she has great respect for the men and women who put their lives on the line each and every day serving the needs of the public, and said it makes her rest a little easier after hearing that the KSP takes the tips provided to them seriously.
"I know that every community and neighborhood in the United States has problems with drugs, break-ins and burglaries and I'm just one old woman who has fears that someone will force their way into my home or blow us all up if they're cooking that meth that I've been told has been known to cause a lot of explosions, but I want my voice heard. I want my neighborhood back and I hope and pray that the police will help make that a reality, not just let it remain a pipe dream for all of us."

Shelley Gare meets the brains behind three innovative fashion websites, and gets a crash course in online fashion economics to boot.
Online fashion promises the glamour of big names and, often, big discounts, but the glossiness of the websites, with their beautiful offerings, fashion news and starry chat, is rarely matched by the warehouses and cramped offices where the creators behind the sites work day and night to spin their online magic ...
With her long, bright-red hair, porcelain skin and firm, private-schoolgirl manner, 26-year-old Kath Purkis presents as both very young and formidably assured. In 2008, at 22, she launched Le Black Book as Australia's answer to luxury fashion site Net-a-Porter. Her funding was her savings from two years working in the rag trade, for designer Akira Isogawa. "So I already had a thick skin; you have to be a tough cookie," she remarks.
For a year, she kept her business plan quiet as she developed it. No one in her family is in retail - her father is an architect - but, she says, she loves fashion and she loves technology. She even created the first mobile application for her site. "I just had to create a widget and incorporate that into it," she breezes. But not everything was under her control.
The week of her launch, with seasonal stock piled up in her office, and after a social-media campaign that had encouraged people to register ahead, she discovered her precious site still wasn't functional. Brainstorming with business advice site Nett produced a solution - selling the stock via a sneak-peek email marketing campaign - that gave her breathing space.
It was a big lesson: take advice; use mentors. Two years on, she needed another reboot. She flew to Europe for a much-needed me-break, read The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss and came back ready for her first "smart risk", diversifying into Le Black Book's first own product: tights that looked like stockings with suspenders. With trepidation and after a lot of homework, she ordered 100 pairs from a Chinese manufacturer in Guangzhou. By the end of the season, she'd sold 5000 pairs.
Her big summer seller has been another own-brand product: $49.95 flat sandals with fluoro Lycra straps called Skins. And Purkis is now broadening her site, selling more of her own product and appealing to all women in sizes 8 to 14, and eventually 16. "No one is doing that range in designer fast fashion. We've had an 83-year-old buy a pair of Skins," she says proudly. "And everyone can wear our maxi dress. In this climate, you have to be competitive.
"I love the fact you can make money while you sleep. You get up in the morning, check your inbox and you've made sales. There aren't many traditional companies in retail that can do that."
In April last year, buyer Marlene Mangioni was working out of her Coogee home as the sole employee in the fashion venture she had dreamed up, backed by multimillionaire Perth businessman Andrew Roberts.
Now, there are 60 staff, and Mangioni, as creative director, along with digital and marketing head Marguerite Kramer, is revamping one of Sydney's first and most successful online fashion sites, mycatwalk.com.au, in a vast and echoing office space on the second floor of a building in Alexandria most notable for the hand-lettered MyCatwalk sign by the stairwell.
Mangioni, 48, looks around the bare-bones area where she and Kramer are seated on repro black leather Barcelona chairs, next to a tiny office kitchen where the staff come and go, and she can't help smiling. In the huge room beyond, rows of young women are engrossed in their computer screens. By the walls are racks of clothes, plastic wrapped. "We make it work," she says.
Her original idea was for a string of smart boutiques around Australia that would resist the trend towards one-label stores and offer, instead, edited collections of brands from the second and third tiers of fashion labels from both here and overseas: Brochu Walker, Theyskens' Theory, L'Agence, Jac+Jack, Bassike and Equipment, as well as shoes, bags and jewellery and - key to Mangioni's vision - advice on styling and unintimidating service.
"The idea is that we know Australian women and know their style," says Mangioni, a tall brunette who is addicted to the minimalism of Equipment shirts, and who worked for 17 years with elite shop owners Belinda Seper and Robby Ingham.
Roberts, whose family sold its share in the Multiplex construction company in 2007 for more than $1 billion, already knew Mangioni and agreed to back her for the bricks-and-mortar shops. By the time she had got back from her first overseas buying trip in June, he had, in consultation with her, also niftily bought up 50 per cent of MyCatwalk from founder Jonathon Reid. "That was very exciting," says Mangioni. "It was one of the top sites in the country. Online is infinity, so the offering can be so broad. It's like adding another store but a huge one."
The site had been pitched at the 18-to-24 age group and offered mostly Australian brands, not quite where Mangioni was heading. She didn't blink; all she had to do was find someone who not only got digital, but also got fashion the way she did.
Enter straight-talking, New York-born Kramer, also 48. In 1998, Kramer ran away from her high-powered job as managing editor of US Harper's Bazaar to find out what the geeks were doing in San Francisco. A year later, she was launching productopia.com, a consumer search blog. A shift to Sydney led to online start-ups for ACP Magazines before she moved to beauty site primped.com.au. "I'm the start-up queen!" she announces. For her, the digital world is "a different type of intelligence, a different way of thinking, or seeing things".
Except the MyCatwalk site now has, for the first time, a bricks-and-mortar presence. Defying retail trends, Mangioni's first four MyCatwalk shops opened in November, with two in Sydney (at Clovelly and Double Bay) and one each in Perth and Melbourne.
While Mangioni took four months to go from buying stock to opening the MyCatwalk shops, Kramer's relaunch of the online MyCatwalk brand, scheduled to go live in early April, is taking longer.
"What most people don't realise is that online takes a lot of money, a lot of time," Kramer says. "You have to get the foundations and the infrastructure right. You don't want to be worrying about the technology once the site is live.
"It's a bear to build - and then it's a bear to feed. It's like, 'What trick do we have up our sleeve today?' It's about creating customisation tools, visuals, product pages, blogs, videos, Facebook pages ..."
Now the virtual and the real work together. Sales assistants in the MyCatwalk shops use iPads to show customers other pieces being held in the online "back room". Customers who buy online receive their goods, à la Net-a-Porter, in elegant off-white boxes lined in charcoal grey, packed with bright tissue paper and tied with ribbon.
"It's not an either-or situation," explains Kramer. "It's the best of both worlds existing together. It makes me laugh when people act as if they know all the answers, and organisations are pro-online or pro-offline."
Sara Lundgren never wanted to work for herself. She knew she would drive herself too hard. Yet, here she is, aged 28, working 24/7, as they get used to saying in the online fashion world, spending most of her time in a cramped office with no windows in a converted warehouse on Wattle Street in Ultimo.
It's not even her own office. She and business partner (and fellow Scandinavian) Natalie Müller, who launched their directory site, shoppingbird.com.au, late last year, are perching inside the offices of friend and web developer/strategist Nigel Burke.
Lundgren, with degrees in marketing and international business administration, had met fellow student 27-year-old Müller in 2010 just as Müller was mulling over a business concept. She'd been to New York and fallen in love with the jewellery of Alexis Bittar but, back here, searching online, she couldn't find a local stockist. She wondered if there was room for an online directory for bricks-and-mortar fashion.
Lundgren, who had moved from Sweden to study at Wollongong as part of her degree, before falling in love with NSW's beaches, had recently exhausted herself plodding around Sydney trying to buy a dress for a wedding.
Was there room for an online directory that wouldn't just tell you where to buy something but would provide maps and lists to tell you what you could buy in certain areas?
In late November, Müller and Lundgren, armed with determination and good HTML skills, leapt into the online throng. It took them almost twice as long to go live as they had hoped and cost them much more than they'd reckoned and, to get the $50,000 seed funding, they'd each used their life savings.
"It was tough, very challenging - but a lot of fun," says Müller, a sweet, kitten-faced blonde with turquoise eyes, who now gets by on four hours' sleep and remembers that the last time she watched television was for Kate and Wills's wedding.
The site started with listings for 200 shops and within a month had 500. By early February, it was 616. "It's a graph that goes like this," Müller says, her finger pointing up in the air. Just as well, given it was her task, as sales director, to take the concept to store owners who were, at first, often sceptical.
The directory is a "shopping GPS"; it needs lots of store listings to work. The first to sign up was a wedding boutique, Akina Bridal Couture. The next, as Müller worked through the alphabet, was Alex Perry.
As well as store listings, there are tip-offs about sales, events and deals and the stores are charged $229 a year ("Or $19.99 a month!" says Müller). The site doesn't sell fashion online, nor does it list online-only stores. "That would defeat the purpose," says Lundgren. Instead, shoppingbird boosts bricks-and-mortar shops, and while bigger stores have signed on, it's a showcase for emerging designers, specialist boutiques and tucked-away shops that might not have the time, finances or tech know-how to get online attention.
"Some of these stores are like galleries," says Lundgren, "the owners are so passionate about their clothes. Our neighbourhoods wouldn't be the same without them."
More online fashion sites to try
Provides a platform for emerging designers of fashion, accessories, jewellery and lifestyle products to show off their wares. Home page displays a range of very wantable items.
Started six years ago by Buenos Aires import Victoria Moxey, it's a web, smartphone and print guide to the shopping villages of Sydney. Moxey has recently started operations in Perth, too.
Calls itself Australia's premier online fashion boutique - lists 40 designers plus its own brand, FS. Based in Brisbane and founded in 2006 by former fashion PR Marnie Goss.
This Sydney-based site, started in October 2009, is where customers from all over the world come to design their own shoes from platforms to stilettos to ankle-boots. Irresistible.
Some 23,217 people liked this site on Facebook when we last checked. Guarantees next-day delivery for buy-now, wear-now, affordable fashion; prides itself on providing total mix-and-match looks à la Clueless (see "The Economics of It All", page 45).
The economics of it all
Somewhere in the world, someone - who may or may not have seen the 1995 hit film Clueless - is intent on the painstaking, high-tech research that will one day lead to the holy grail of the online fashion world.
The virtual fitting room.
In the first scene of Clueless - a rejig of Jane Austen's Emma set in modern-day Beverly Hills - lead character Cher decides what to wear to high school that day.
Her state-of-the-art computer first lets her mix and match garments. "Mis-match!" it shrieks in big letters. Outfit finally approved by the computer, Cher hits the "Dress Me" button and on-screen the garment is popped onto a 3D model of herself for a final check.
Fashionista geeks are still trying to turn that idea into 21st-century reality.
"Whoever discovers that will become a billionaire, a zillionaire!" exclaims Marguerite Kramer, digital and content guru of mycatwalk.com.au. "People have been trying to do that since 1999. There was a Swedish fashion site, boo.com, that blew millions in a year ..."
Boo.com, which experimented with an avatar and 3D drawings of garments, is now seen as one of the great dotcom catastrophes. It was started by three Swedes based in Britain and lost $US135 million of venture capital in 18 months.
Twelve years later, reading about boo.com's bust is like scanning a cheat's guide for the online fashion entrepreneur: first, how to have a truly game-changing idea; second, how to still come a huge cropper.
The online frontier that so excited boo.com remains: women (and, increasingly, men) love to shop for clothes, and while online buying exploded in the United States five years ago, says Kramer, it has now taken off here. Estimates put the local growth rate at up to 13 per cent a year. That acceleration - and KPMG's chief economist Brendan Rynne has been quoted questioning whether sales figures fully capture how much is being spent online - has sent traditional retailers into a panic.
But the online traps that tripped boo.com are still there, too: underestimating the costs and time involved, failing to attract traffic to your site, and technology that's too clever. "A lot of apps are too complicated," says Kath Purkis, founder of leblackbook.com.au. "We were ordering a pizza the other night and it was just so hard."
As for loot, don't be misled by the billion-dollar figures in The Social Network or news stories about Britain's glamorous Net-a-Porter, the first high-end fashion site to put mouth-wateringly exclusive labels - Jimmy Choo, Diane von Furstenberg, Chloé, Louboutin - in shopping reach of anyone in the world with a computer screen and a credit card.
In April 2010, its founder, former fashion editor Natalie Massenet, sold her stake for a profit of £50 million ($73 million).
But it took Massenet 10 years to get there, and she told Britain's Daily Mail it was so tough she cried every day for a year.
Her success is the exception. One much-quoted Harvard study about entrepreneurs indicates that only 18 per cent of online start-ups by first timers will succeed. Australian online spending is still only about five per cent of our total retail spend and clothing accounts for only about five per cent of that. As well, figures from the Australian Communications and Media Authority, reported by The Sydney Morning Herald last November, reveal that Australians are preferring to take their online business overseas. Between 2009 and 2011, the figure for Australians reporting they mostly shopped on local online sites dropped 15 per cent.
It's about the pull of lower prices, a strong dollar and more choice. Three years ago, Massenet was already saying that Australia was her third-biggest customer base, and we're the second-biggest market for huge British online retailer ASOS (As Seen on Screen).
To stay competitive and viable, devoted local online fashionistas spend hours glued to screens, watching what other sites are doing.
Meanwhile, online customers are as merciless as the Queen of Hearts in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. "You don't get many tries before you lose them," says Shawn Hickman, the investment banker who started discount site yclotheshorse.com.au, before moving on to fashion community blog Breakfast with Audrey. "My gut feel is that customers will try maybe two or three times."
A keen online shopper confides, "Actually, sometimes it's only once."

On Tuesday, Dr. John King made a stop at Fairbanks Road Elementary school in Churchville and observed two classes.
This was just one of several schools that King is visiting in order to see how districts are implementing the SED Reform Agenda. The state-led initiative is designed to set education standards that are consistent across the state to better prepare students for college and careers.
"The biggest challenge in any standards initiative is changing instruction. It is easy for states to adopt a set of standards and say here is what our aspirations are but it is very different to make sure that they translate into different experiences for students in classrooms," King said.
This school year all teachers in grades Pre-K to 8 are implementing CCLS-aligned instruction.

Karen Carpenter was unanimously voted the board's new leader Nov. 20
Date: November 23, 2012
by: Josh Siegel | Staff writer
Karen Carpenter, formerly vice chairwoman, is the new chair of the Manatee County School Board, after a unanimous vote Nov. 20. Julie Aranibar, who was nominated by board member Barbara Harvey, was voted the new vice chair.
Bob Gause nominated Carpenter. All but Gause supported Aranibar as vice chair.
Carpenter vowed to fix the district's budget woes and restore trust in the board.
Former Superintendent Tim McGonegal resigned in September after announcing a $3.4 million deficit in the district's budget.
"People are unhappy with us," Carpenter said. "We have to change the way we do business because it was business as usual that got us here. Let's get to work."
