Length: Novel (~ 50K-100K)
Genre: Gay Romance, Mystery/Thriller, Thriller
Drake Donovan is one of the good guys. He spends his life helping people who need it. Being a police officer is all he's ever wanted to be, and there is nothing else that could ever compare.
After months of work he finally has a way in to the underground world he's been trying to close down. A trail of dead prostitutes has led him to a chat room and a man called Dreamfixer, but when a late night meeting goes wrong his life changes forever.
Ryden Garrick has the life that nightmares are made of. Growing up with a father like his taught him everything he needed to know to run his area in one of Britain's largest crime organisations.
Guns, drugs, money laundering, and the area that Ryden excels in, prostitution. Running one of the largest male prostitution rings, one where anything is acceptable, even murder, is where he dedicates most of his time.
When Drake discovered the connection with the young dead bodies, all linked with a letter tattooed on their chest, he knew he had to do something. Now standing in front of the elusive Dreamfixer, he knows that life will never be the same.
When gathering evidence becomes the last thing he's thinking about he knows that he will have to make a decision. Follow his feelings or stay strong, doing what he was here to do.
Now he has to decide between the job he loves and the man who could change everything.
Life for Drake was easy before he went Undercover.
My View:
This was delicious and teeny, tiny bit dark and twisted. One hero and one antihero and a story that has you wondering the entire time how on earth they can possibly achieve a HEA.
Drake Donovan is a police officer tied up in a case that involves dead male prostitutes. The clues have been sporadic and mainly led to dead ends so when an 'in' from an internet chat room arises Drake grabs onto it with both hands intending to work the case undercover – his first mistake was assuming that would work.
Ryden Garrick is unapologetically bad. He runs a prostitution ring that is organised, efficient and makes him a lot of money. When occasionally things go wrong and a body has to be dumped he has men willing to do that for him too. He is a god that rules over his own kingdom – to question Ryden is stupid but to cross Ryden more than likely means death.
Drake gets his wish to work within the prostitution ring but it doesn't go exactly according to plan. A snatch and grab finds the exuberant young officer in a tricky situation and from then on it's as though he has fallen down a rabbit hole. This story skirts the edges of believability but it was such a good read that had me on pins waiting to see how the author could possibly weave any sort of satisfactory ending that I would highly recommend it.

- "That's really unusual, Princess Leia. I think I see a Huttian spaceship."
- ―Ken to Leia Organa
A certain type of bell-shaped space yacht was used by the Hutts at some point before the start of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY. Those yachts had big entrance hatches, large enough for a masive Hutt to get in or out. The Huttese criminal Zorba Desilijic Tiure owned one, which he had christened the Zorba Express.
Behind the scenesEdit
That class of bell-shaped yacht only appeared in Zorba the Hutt's Revenge and Queen of the Empire, the third and fourth installement of the so-called Jedi Prince book series. In those novels, it was only referred to as a "Huttian spaceship," but a Wizards of the Coast online article called Hutt! Hutt! Hutt! established the Zorba Express was an "ancient star yacht."

ROCHESTER, NY—U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced today that Zachary S. Dressner, of Rochester, New York, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Charles J. Siragusa to possessing images of child pornography. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Bradley E. Tyler, who is handling the case, stated that between July and November 2011, the defendant used his home computer to acquire and download images of children younger than 16 years of age. The images included the minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
The plea is the culmination of an investigation on the part of special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Sentencing is scheduled for September 5, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. before Judge Siragusa.

Vietnam...Those who survived and those who didn't.
I was already standing on the battle ground. The whole of Vietnam was engulfed in the War and Saigon itself was in the thick of all the action.
In this section, nearby to me was a Vietnamese man, a loving father, pointing to the same exhibits and explaining the situation to his 2 young kids. I noticed their mother was not with them. The kids took it all in without displaying much emotion which is perfectly understandable considering that they are only around 10 years old.
This is one of the most recent exhibits. It shows the discovery in 2008 December of mass graves
of prisoners who were tortured and killed during the war.
Their remains were extracted and given a proper ceremonial martyr's burial with honours.
Not everyone perished. There were those lucky enough to survive
the infamous prison system and they had harrowing tales to tell the world.
To the Vietnamese...these are their heroes.
Some of the lucky survivors and today regarded as heroes, giving
their testimonies about the inhuman torture they were subjected to...in special commemoration meetings a year ago.

In 1985 I eneterd Vietnam via Bangkok bcos there was no direct flight. I had the opportunity to visit Vungtua, a naval base which was run by the Russian Navy and an off-shore petroleum base. My Vietnamese guide took me to the home of VC ("Vietcong). There I saw an altar of her deceased husband, his picture on the wall and his helmet with bullet holes. There were also medal awarded for bravery fighting in the Mekong Delta area against the U.S. Marines. According to this woman, the U.S. Marines never camped in the Mekong Delta area for fear of the VCs. Each mroning the U.S. Marines arrived by landing craft, hunted the VCs and by 6pm, they returned to their ships. When the U.S. Marines showed up, the VCs went underwater using the reeds to breathe.
This Vietnamese woman also showed me graves of Vietnamese shot dead by the U.S. Marines bcos the Yankee soldier thought any Vietnamese dressed in black "had to be a VC".
Then of course the lighter side of my trip when I learnt more about Caodaism, a religion which took in Mohad, Jesus, Guru Nanak, etc as their "Gods". I was told the woman worshippers of that religion had to strip themselves naked for the "priest enjoyment" as part of the conversion process. There was also drinking Vietnamese coffee, eating their rice paper popiah - which had huge chunks of tiger prwans.
I did nt just stay in the south but went up to Hanoi for business. Of course there was this US$5 a dance with the Vietnamese girls (possibly <24 years of age) at the Heritage Hotel (owned by a Singaporean). The hotel I stayed was Rose Hotel near that big lake or lovers lake you mentioned.

Thanks for enlightening us about things in 1985.
In the war in the Mekong Delta region and elsewhere, both sides, as in almost all wars, had victories and also defeats.

Tam since the recent resignation of Michelle Lee from her position as Director of the USPTO), after holding oral argument in the case in January of this year. For more background on my thoughts on the case and some of its prior procedural history, see my previous posts here and here.
The ultimate question that Tam raised was whether the clause of section 2(a) of the Lanham Act which prohibits federal registration to trademarks "which may disparage or falsely suggest a connection with persons, living or dead, institutions, beliefs, or national symbols, or bring them into contempt, or disrepute," violates the Free Speech Clause of the Constitution.
Today, SCOTUS answered that question with a resounding yes.
The majority opinion, authored by Justice Alito, held that the disparagement clause of section 2(a) is unconstitutional as it "offends a bedrock First Amendment principle: Speech may not be banned on the ground that it expresses ideas that offend." (Note that some commentators are likely to take issue with use of the word offend. This is fair, as 'disparagement' and 'offense' are distinct concepts here.)
The majority first dismissed the rather weak argument asserted by Tam that the disparagement clause does not extend to marks that disparage racial or ethnic groups, and The Slants are therefore exempt from the provision.
The Court then went on to explain that trademarks are private speech, not government speech, with the quite memorable line "if the federal registration of a trademark makes the mark government speech, the Federal Government is babbling prodigiously and incoherently." No, the Federal Government is not telling you to "Just Do It".*
Additionally, in the majority view, trademarks are not a form of government subsidy, nor should they be subjected to their own "government program doctrine".
In what I expect to be a point of contention with many, the Court's opinion fails to answer the question of whether trademarks are commercial speech. The Court reasons that even if trademarks are commercial speech, the disparagement clause would still not survive the "relaxed scrutiny outlined in Central Hudson. . .". This is because the clause is easily classified as viewpoint discrimination and seeks to regulate trademarks far more broadly than necessary.
In a concurring opinion, Justice Kennedy (joined by Justices Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan), further explains that the disparagement provision constitutes viewpoint discrimination. Justice Kennedy explains that "The central purpose of trademark registration is to facilitate source identification." And that "whether a mark is disparaging bears no plausible relation to that goal."
Justice Thomas also wrote a concurrence in which he asserts that strict scrutiny ought to apply in any instance where "the government seeks to restrict truthful speech in order to suppress the ideas it conveys."
As for my thoughts, having spent well over two years now researching and debating the issue with anyone willing to listen, I am quite pleased with the ultimate decision of the Court. However, I find at least one key question went unanswered: the "no-use barred" argument. Past challenges to the Constitutionality of 2(a) have failed because courts have reasoned that a denial of registration is not a denial of use. Trademark owners are still very much entitled to use their unregistered trademarks. While I firmly believe that a denial of registration creates a financial disincentive that makes speech more difficult though not barring it outright, I would have liked to see some guidance from the highest court on this issue.
In the aftermath of Tam, perhaps we will see more disparaging trademarks making their way into the streams of commerce. Perhaps we will see future litigation over the related "scandalous" and "immoral" provisions. But I believe that the most important thing to remember is that just because the First Amendment prevents government restrictions on speech does not relieve citizens of their responsibility to consider the effects of their words. Just because something can be said does not necessarily mean that it should be said. I'm looking at you, Washington Redskins.

Canada's Ripley Wind Power Project, a C$176 million joint venture project between wind developer Acciona Energy and Suncor Energy's subsidiary, Suncor Energy Products, began generating power Nov. 24, sending electricity to Ontario's independent electricity system operator.
The partners are continuing to commission wind turbines and plan to complete commissioning activities by the end of 2007.
The 76 MW facility is the first Ontario wind power project for both companies. It is located on the eastern shores of Lake Huron in Huron-Kinloss Township. Operated by Acciona, the wind farm consists of 38 turbines, which generate 2 MW of electricity each, two electrical substations and a 27-kilometer transmission line.
'Adding clean, affordable and sustainable electricity capacity is a top priority for our government,' says Gerry Philips, minister of energy. 'That's why we have set a goal of doubling Ontario's renewable energy supply to 15,700 MW by 2025. The Ripley wind farm, at 76 MW, is an important and welcome addition.'
The Ripley project companies have applied for funding under Canada's ecoENERGY for renewable power initiative.

My fiancee and I went to the Pittsburgh Symphony last Saturday, looking forward to another Corigliano piece, this time a TriplePlay, which the PSO gets to premiere. My first question: Has John Corigliano, in his many visits to Heinz Hall, found a closet to hide in when his piece is being performed for the first time?
Sandwiched in the program between two russian interpretations of Romeo and Juliet was this percussion concerto. And from that description alone, I had no idea what was to come, but I was looking forward to it. And as the Tchaikovsky closed and the musicians rearranged themselves, Corigliano came out to talk.
And what about? About creating a percussion concerto, of featuring instruments and sounds that normally support an orchestra. He spoke of removing sounds from the orchestra to make a part stand out, and of grouping the percussion into material groups, and prepared us for the flow of the piece to come.
And what a piece. It started with the sparseness of struck wood blocks morphing into the marimba and xylophone over strings. Ms. Glennie (percussion soloist) moved to metals, with chimes being punctuated by cymbals played as gongs. With and end of drums (skins) building in speed and volume.
There is a concept of creativity that creativity is enhanced by putting restrictions on the artist, and forcing the artist to use his/her creativity to create something inside the restrictions. That the artist struggles against the rules and constraints given can lead to something wonderful, unlike anything else. And here, stripping the range of sounds the orchestra contains and spotlighting the percussion, in its variety and sparseness, created something original and wonderful to behold.
And I hope that when Corigliano listened in his closet, that he knew on coming out that this was a piece well done.

Tomorrow would have been my Mom's 64th birthday. I think about the things that have happened since she passed away eight years ago due to ALS – one granddaughter is growing up and another has arrived; one daughter was married. She would be retired (but probably still working some), spending her days out and about with friends, and embarrassing us on Facebook.
But this year, rather than dwell on what is not, I will mark her birthday by remembering how she lived.
Here are three life lessons from my Mom that I try to emulate, sometimes gracefully, sometimes not.
- Have fun. Spend time with friends. Laugh a lot. I watched her emulate this lesson with her friends, and by her generous scoring on the golf course ("It's just a game!"). She told me on my 30th birthday, "You've been 30 since you were 12. Lighten up." So I interpret this lesson on my yoga mat. Do the pose, or not. But try to stop being so serious and enjoy the practice.
- Do something for others. The world is not all about you and other people sometimes need a helping hand. I often think of all the kids who were in my Mom's schools and wonder how they are doing today. I know she did everything she could – and then some – to make their lives a little better.
- Never settle. After a break-up of epic proportions (or, what seemed epic to me at the time, but looking back of course this was a very transient, young relationship), I was convinced in my teenage dramatic mind that I'd be "alone forever." Her advice to seek something great, and not settle for a mediocre relationship or life, is something I think of every day.
Tomorrow my sisters and I will make a toast to Mom, and to her mom, who no doubt passed these same lessons on in the first place. We love you and miss you. Happy birthday.

Floris Wardenaar was born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Despite the fact that there was no previous history of competitive sports within the family, all the brothers were competitive in different areas of sport. At the age of 14, he started cycling, both on the road and the track. From that moment on his interest in performance nutrition grew. During his second year as a junior cyclist he was selected for the newly formed National track cycling team. As part of his cycling career he collected over 30 stage places and victories.
Professor Wardenaar studied nutrition and dietetics at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam (HvA, Amsterdam Applied University) with specific interest in sports nutrition. During this bachelor program he followed an internship at NOC*NSF writing the brochure: What to know about nutrition and Sydney in preparation for the Olympic Games at Sydney 2000. Together with his bachelor degree he received his post bachelor degree of sports dietetics which was granted by NOC*NSF.
Following this, Professor Wardenaar started a master's program at Wageningen University in human nutrition and physiology. During the second year at Wageningen, he founded his own consultancy firm in sports nutrition advice and during the third year he was full-time Vice-president of the Dutch Chamber of Student Associations (LKvV). Subsequently he followed an internship at the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Texas in Austin and wrote his master's thesis on the interaction between alcohol consumption, exercise and blood glucose levels at SENECA, expert centre of HAN Sports and Exercise Studies at the HAN University of Applied Sciences at Nijmegen. He graduated in 2005 both in nutritional physiology and in nutrigenomics.
At the start of 2006 Professor Wardenaar took up the post of lecturer at the Institute of Paramedic Studies at the HAN. From that moment he was also asked to cover the sports nutrition position of the professional TVM speed skating team as part of an agreement between this team and HAN Sports and Exercise studies. In 2007 he was added to the nutrition team of the Dutch Olympic Committee (NOC*NSF) and from 2010 he became a member of the research group of the professorate (in Dutch: lectoraat) Sports, Nutrition and Health. At the beginning of 2011 he moved completely from paramedic studies to Sports and Exercise studies. 2012 saw him take on a team leader role as senior lecturer of the expert team Sports and Exercise Nutrition with responsibility for education, research and consultancy within the Institute of Sport and Exercise. During this period Professor Wardenaar was also president of the Dutch Association of Sports Dieticians.
In September 2012 he commenced his Ph.D. project in cooperation with Wageningen University, which was partly financed by a regional grant Eat2Move. At the beginning of 2013 he became program manager of work package 3 within Eat2Move and from 2014 - 2017 he was team leader of the Team Nutrition of the Dutch Olympic Committee.
Since 8 September 2017 I joined the School of Nutrition and Health Promotion. I am also partly appointed at the Sun Devil Athletics as sports nutrition advisor. In the next years I want to set up a sports nutrition field lab that focus on the effects of nutrition and dietetic strategies on sports performance.

text: Home > Advocacy > Statements Statement before the Blood Products Advisory Committee Page ContentHemoglobin/Hematocrit Acceptance Standards and Interdonation Interval in Blood DonorsJuly 27, 2010 M. Allene Carr-Greer, Director, Regulatory AffairsAABB is an international, not-for-profit association representing individuals and institutions involved in the field of transfusion medicine and cellular therapies. The association is committed to improving health by developing and delivering standards, accreditation and educational programs that focus on optimizing patient and donor care and safety. AABB membership consists of nearly 2,000 institutions and 8,000 individuals, including physicians, nurses, scientists, researchers, administrators, medical technologists and other health care providers. Members are located in more than 80 countries. FDA is seeking advice from the Committee on the appropriate hemoglobin or hematocrit standard for blood donors and appropriate interdonation intervals. Current AABB Standards are in agreement with the rule finalized by FDA in 1999 establishing a minimum hemoglobin requirement of 12.5g/dL or hematocrit of 38% for both male and female allogeneic donors. This rule also established the interdonation interval of eight weeks for single unit donations. As noted in the Issue Summary prepared for this BPAC meeting the FDA published a proposed rule in November 2007 (Requirements for Human Blood and Blood Components Intended for Transfusion or for Further Manufacturing Use) and requested among other things comments and supporting data on the issues before the Committee today. AABB provided no comments to the issue of changing interdonation intervals. With the knowledge that the REDS II data would begin to be available to inform the discussion on acceptable hemoglobin levels AABB responded: The issue of changing the acceptable hemoglobin/hematocrit levels for males or females is controversial and requires further investigation. It is anticipated that some relevant data will become available from the REDS II study and should inform any subsequent guidance. The study aims to evaluate the effects of blood donation on iron and hemoglobin levels among donors. It also will help identify the optimal measures for predicting iron and hemoglobin depletions that lead to blood donor deferrals. Until the results of the REDS II study are published, we believe that it would be premature to specify changes to hemoglobin or hematocrit requirements in the final rule.More data that will be very informative to the questions asked here today are expected in the near future from the recently completed REDS-II Donor Iron Status Evaluation (RISE) study, which has completed study subject follow-up enrollment and laboratory testing and is now in the analysis phase. We believe it is critical to wait for these data so that all available scientific evidence is evaluated and incorporated into this decision making process. If the data show that gender specific acceptance standards for hemoglobin/hematocrit and/or interdonation intervals are indicated, blood centers will need to develop procedures to ensure that these new standards are fully integrated into the rigorous CGMP environment.

This powerfully simple slide from Chiefmartec infographic-whisperer Scott Brinker says it all … technology is dictating our growth and pace.
These are the 3 main topics from the stage and conversations with attendees:
1) Learn to adapt with tech by hiring a nerd. Partner with nerds. Revenge of the Nerds.
2) There are 6.8 billion mobile phones. So there are 6.8 billion personalized versions of the Web. How are you making it easier for customers to include you?
3) The Marcom Tech "stack" is crazy-complicated (see Scott's "Supergraphic below). Agencies and partners must patiently help their marketing clients understand and communicate internally to get buy-in across their company.
Josh reminding us to adopt the new Marcom Tech language to inspire new creative thinking and data-driven actions.
Any conference that is starting to use the term "stack" is where I want to be…because this usually means there is conversation about integrating with the other levels of technologies (and my new favorite Agency partners!) between the business and customers.
Julia Brady of The VIA Agency and I talked about our high expectations for events such AdAge IQ. Yes, we travel downtown and down from New England to network with connections, but, the same tech we are all talking about should be demonstrated and leveraged for OUR superior experiences before, during, and after the event. There are eager vendors that will deploy (literally) hands-on smartphone demos of live data providing insights and personalization for proximity-based meetings that match our personal profiles. Hey Nielsen...Data Demos!
These events can be a fun and functional "tech sandbox" allowing attendees to increase their value as curators of the most relevant content using presentations with multimedia links, research, and tools to share with internal teams and clients.
Perhaps we should only go to industry events at tech-pimped venues like Cornell's Tech Campus opening up this fall on Roosevelt Island. Check out some videos at the Consumer Electronic Show's "C Space" for marketers.
Here are a few key slides from AdAge IQ:

|Bill Rondina in his office at the Carlisle penthouse showroom on East 52nd Street.
|Profile of a philanthropist
I'd heard of Bill Rondina long before I met him, and saw him a number of times (enough to remember the face) before that at various benefits. That's where New York can take on the quality of a small town. It turned out that we had mutual friends and acquaintances.
People who knew him talked enthusiastically about him. Always praises and amazes. When you hear that about a person in this city of the ambitious and creative, you can't help wondering about the "why."
They were impressed by two things: his business success and his generosity. Were they one and the same, as it so often is? This is a city rife with both, and they are often interrelated. Or was it the real McCoy? I learned he was a big supporter of the Metropolitan Opera, as well as the Met, of the New York Botanical Garden, of Literacy Partners. That's generous, definitely.
|Eventually I met him one weekend a few years ago up in Litchfield County when I was visiting my friend Peter Rogers. He came to dinner one night with his partner Giovanni LoFaro and our mutual friend Brooke Hayward who knows him as a neighbor also.
In person the Knight in Shining Armor tycoon is a friendly, warm but unassuming fellow. He just likes people. Laughter often enters into the conversation. He holds up his end of any but he's a curious fellow, a listener, always interested in learning. When people referred to his generosity, they were referring to his tendency to share his largesse frequently and abundantly with his friends, as well as others. I know, this is beginning to sound like an angel.
A few months ago, he and I discussed his interest in advertising his products on the NYSD. It was then that I got to know about that fabled generosity and its source. Having been in the business of retailing before I launched a career as a writer (as I've written here somewhere), I was very curious to see what it was that Bill Rondina did that made him so successful. I soon learned just from mentioning the name of Carlisle to a lot of women friends, that his clothing lines are very, very popular.
|The day JH and I first went to his office to discuss the matter, we ran into a prominent New York businesswoman, leaving the building. I told her where we were going. It so happened she'd just come from there. I asked her how she learned about it. She said she shopped there all the time and just picked up some resortwear for a trip she and her husband were taking in the Caribbean. Then she put her right index finger to her lip and said: Shhhh! As in don't tell anybody my secret. Women often keep these secrets when they've found a good thing.
Since then I've come to know Bill Rondina better. The generosity is just his nature. It goes with the territory that is Rondina. The sense of humor and zest for life is intact and the business is his project, his baby. And he looks after it and his employees as if it were brand new and he was doing his damnedest to keep them liking their jobs. The business itself is two things: Common Sense and Genius. The Genius part is following one's Common Sense. Common Sense as we know, is not in abundant quality these days and hasn't been for quite some time. (Maybe never? Not sure.)
Then I obtained the following interview with him about his life and his business. This is one of those interviews where you know the person quite well but you don't really know much if anything about what his daily life is like, or how he goes about making his living, or how he conducts himself out in the world. This interview explains it. It also explains the generosity part and how it naturally transforms into philanthropy. Carlisle, for example, has a partnership with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure that has raised $2 million for the charity through their customers (who are referred to as clients).
In a beautiful suburb of Seattle.
What influences did you have growing up that made you go into the fashion business?
My mother and father were very good friends with a man named John Doyle Bishop. He was the owner of the Carriage Trade Shop, which was "the store" that dressed all of Seattle's wealthy elite at the time. The quality of every item, not to mention the store's interior design and customer service were out of this world. As a young boy, I would go in there just to visit and soak it all in. I knew that this was something I could do just as well. if not better!
Did you study fashion? Where?
I attended the University of Washington and studied at the Sorbonne in Paris before honing my skills at the Parsons School of Design in New York City. John Doyle Bishop was in Manhattan at the time and he helped me get my first job as a design assistant at the prestigious Seventh Avenue firm of Ben Zuckerman. After that, I went to work at Christian Dior NY, which was still owned by Dior Paris at that time.
After 8 years of paying my dues and learning my craft, I was ready to do something fresh that reflected both my own design aesthetic and commitment to personalized client service. To this end, I operated my design studio from 1973 until 1980, when I founded the Carlisle Collection. In the past year, I built upon this line with the introduction of our expanded Per Se Collection. We are now offering both lines nationwide through showrooms and trunk shows.
How long have you been in the fashion business?
By 1965, I was fully immersed in the fashion business and working away in New York City.
Tell us a bit about the Connaught Group
We are a company all about women and for women from what we provide to what we give back.
I would describe us as the ultimate marriage between high-end women's couture clothing and a personalized wardrobing service.
We're also about giving back. To date, we have raised almost $2 million for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. We wanted our philanthropic efforts to be something we all felt proud of. So in 1997 we polled all of our sellers to determine which organization we should give to. Across the board, women said they wanted to do something for breast cancer and that remains true today. Now, each year, our designers create a signature Carlisle scarf that is given to our clients when they donate $125 to the Susan B. Komen Foundation through our Fabric of Hope program. 100% of the donation goes directly to the Susan B. Komen Foundation.
What would you consider The Connaught Group's design aesthetic?
For us, it starts with sending our designers all over the world to explore design ideas and trends – because, in the end, it's the fabrics they find or create that inspire us most! We are unabashed "fabric snobs" and, to this end, we seek out the very best textiles from fabric mills in Italy, France and England. Each of our collections is stylistically distinct. This enables us to offer a variety of styles that meet the needs of many women while allowing them to diversify their wardrobes.
True elegance is all about being stylish with staying power – that's our design mantra.
Who is your typical customer?
Our clients are stylish women who appreciate beautiful clothing and customized service. We are not for sport shoppers – we're really helping to style people, they get a service that is tempered to them uniquely. In their 1 ½ hour visit at our showroom, they are the only person that matters. It's all about helping that one woman find her style and a wardrobe she call pull from with absolutely confidence.
Women can expect to have a private appointment with a personal stylist that is 100% focused on them, their lifestyle, what they need for daytime events and night, and everything in-between. Our showroom is filled with beautiful clothing and is a peaceful haven that allows women to let go of all of the distractions so they can focus on making wise wardrobe decisions. As one client put it – "I cherish my appointments with you because they ensure I'm looking beautiful, feeling confident and they free me up to have time to spend on other things!"
Please tell us some "must haves" that women should have available to them in their closets.
Regardless of trends, they need to invest in column dressing so that they have the flexibility of adding in whatever they want. When I say "column" dressing I mean pants, skirts, and a blouse/sweater/knit that are all one color – ideally, either black, charcoal grey, off-white or navy blue.
Different jackets, accessories can be added to be the star of the show but the column will take you everywhere.
Know which colors look great on you and work them! Women need to step outside of their comfort zone of wearing all black. Whether it's a bright red jacket that gives you a shot of color at a dressy event or a well-placed scarf to liven up last season's trench coat, color is something, which many women still need to embrace. After all, isn't it always the woman who dares to dazzle by wearing color who gets all of the attention? I was at an event the other night where everyone was wearing black and I said, "Who died?" We're coming out of a recession, let's celebrate!
|Bill Rondina, Micky Ateyeh, Richard Clifford, and Sir Derek Jacobi at Michael's, 6/15/10.
|Who are some designers that have influenced your work, and how?
The Carlisle and Per Se design teams come up with their own looks based on a variety of inspirations each season.
Each of our designers has experience working at the top design houses, including: Christian Dior, Burberry, Albert Nipon, Mary Ann Restivo, Carmelo Pomodoro, Episode, Ellen Tracy, Anne Klein and Tahari. When you are designer, you learn the basics and then build upon that foundation with each collection you create.
Ultimately, our designers work collaboratively to create each collection, offering clients the best of their collective talents!
On a personal front, the other design houses I truly admire and appreciate are:
However, for me personally -- when I think of which designer is a true standout as having most influenced my work and focus on quality, I say Oscar de la Renta.
What are some trends we should look out for in clothing design? Any particular colors or styles?
Every season, we forecast the top trends and styles for our clients and reflect these in the collections we create. For example, with the Per Se Holiday collection, we are all about glamour. Those that get it right this season will have an air of off-the-cuff elegance. You can see our Per Se Holiday Fashion Forecast here.
However, we view our clients as individuals with their own distinct style. We help them be the very best that they can be – from the colors that look fantastic on them, to the fit of a casual outfit to a formal ensemble. We are helping them build wardrobes that will last.
What is your favorite part of your job?
Product, product, product – I am so proud of what we put together every season and the price point we are able to offer women. At the end of the day, I am a product person and I am involved in the review and approval of every collection because it's what I love.
Our clients get glowing remarks about what they wear from our collections and it keeps them coming back.
What's more, seamstresses across America tell our clients that they can't believe how well our clothes are made. And that is one of the best compliments of all!
|Gregory Long, Mrs. Karl Wamsler, Mai Harrison, Ann Johnson, Jeanne Jones, Pamela Fiori, Friederike Biggs, and Bill Rondina at The New York Botanical Garden held its 28th annual spring gala, 6/9/03.
|Who is your dream client and why?
We are dressing our dream clients every day – from politicians and celebrities to the career women and stay-at-home mom who have no time to shop. My dream client is the woman who needs beautiful clothing, needs to look a certain way and appreciates quality and style.

Team effort makes new microfilm reader possible
Thank you for the wonderful story regarding the new digital microfilm reader installed at the Oroville branch of Butte County Library.
Thanks also for the fine photo by Frank Rebelo that makes me look considerably younger than my 86 years.
Butte County is fortunate to have a people-friendly and vigorous library system. Acquiring this updated equipment was a team effort, including generous donations from Friends of the Library in Oroville, Ruthmarie Ferris, Nancy Brower and Friends of the Library in Gridley. Gina and I were pleased to be part of the team.

LIFE'S INSPIRATIONS: "… I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God…" (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13, the Holy Bible).
LANDS IN BORACAY, STILL GOVERNMENT-OWNED UP TO NOW: Do you know the basis of President Duterte in announcing that after Boracay is all cleaned up he will give the island to the residents and the farmers there, and no longer to the rich businessmen and the others who somehow managed to secure titles or tax declarations in their names or their relatives over choice lots in the world-class island beach resort?
It turns out there is a joint decision that the Supreme Court issued in October 2008 yet, which declared that the government continues to own the whole of Boracay, considering its classification as an "unclassified public forest," or a piece of land that cannot be titled, in any of its area, in favor of any private individual.
The joint decision of the high court was made by it in two cases: G. R. No. 167707, which was entitled "Secretary of the DENR, et. al. vs. Mayor Jose Yap, et. al.," and G. R. No. 173775, entitled "Dr. Orlando Sacay, et. al. vs. Secretary of the DENR, et. al." The joint decision was issued by the Supreme Court on the same day—on October 08, 2008.
SC: BUSINESSMEN OCCUPYING LANDS IN BORACAY CAN'T BE RECOGNIZED AS OWNERS: It is a lengthy joint decision that the tribunal issued in G. R. No. 167707 and G. R. No. 173775, but it came up with, and established, amazing legal points regarding Boracay. To those who are interested to know these points, what I intend to do here at Kakampi Mo Ang Batas is to focus on them one by one, until such time we shall have fully covered all items that the Supreme Court discussed in its decision.
Now, the first important and vital point that everyone should understand about Boracay is this: according to the Supreme Court, the businessmen and other people who occupied various lands in Boracay, and who now claim they should be given prior recognition as the lawful owners or possessors of what they have occupied or where they have put up structures for their businesses, have actually no right to be so recognized.
Even if businessmen-claimants are claiming they have already invested hundreds of millions of pesos on the lands they have been utilizing for their business enterprises in Boracay, their right as owners can not simply be accepted, the Court said. Whatever degree or length of possession they may have already enjoyed over those lands through the years will not yield any legal right in their favor, it added.
BORACAY REMAINS TO BE "UNCLASSIFIED PUBLIC FOREST:" The Supreme Court's refusal to recognize any right of the present occupants or businessmen doing business in Boracay, no matter how long they may have been there at this point, is anchored on a simple point: at the time they started occupying or started doing business in the island, Boracay and its lands were still classified as "public forest." Under the law, a "public forest" can never be acquired by any private individual.
Because of this classification as a "public forest" of Boracay at that time, titles in favor of any private person over lands therein can never be acquired by anyone, simply because the lands continue to be owned by the government. The Supreme Court clarified that a land which is "unclassified public forest," like Boracay, can be titled to a private person only when the government declares it to be ready for disposition to private individuals, which is what Duterte wants to do, but only at this point.
"Private claimants' bid for judicial confirmation of imperfect title… must (therefore) fail because of the absence of the second element of alienable and disposable land…. Where the land is not alienable and disposable, possession of the land, no matter how long, cannot confer ownership or possessory rights…" the Court added. Clearly, no private person owns any land in Boracay, and the President is right in saying Boracay should be delivered to the farmers there.
FOR QUESTIONS, REACTIONS: If anyone would like to ask me any question about what the burning issues of the day mean, or what we have discussed here, or to consult on any problem, whatever it maybe, please call 0917 984 24 68, or email me at email@example.com, or post your concerns at www.facebook.com/attybatas. Promise, I will answer right away. Thank God in the Name of Jesus, Amen!/WDJ

Fish? What the?
Shouldn't it be birds on my blog?
If you are doing a bit of stitching for landscape photography you will more than likely be using PTGui for stitching your panos together.
There are a few things that I will show you that you may not know about.
Before you open your images follow these steps. By following the simple steps you will be keeping your 16bit files as 16bit not 8bit (8bit is the default for PTGui)
I hope that this helps everyone in the blogging world maintain the highest quality in their photos. If this has helped you make sure you link it on your blog so you can share it with everyone.
Until next time
Happy shooting.
Jared from Team Digital shot this short video from our launch night at the Malt Supper Club earlier in the month.
Check it out.
I remember being so scared on this day. These two HUGE White Rhinos decided to walk a little bit to close to my car. With horns as big as my arm these animals can do serious damage.
As they came close my instant reaction was to put my camera and lens inside the car while staying perfectly still. For a good 20 minutes they both just stood near the car. I heard each giant breath exit their mouths and the sound seemed to be coming closer. My legs were shaking now! I was thinking just how fast is this car?
If I turn the key will I have enough time to get away, then I remembered that they can run 60km/h! I couldn't start the car or they would charge. I would be crushed for sure!
I braved the risk of being crushed alive to get some shots (as any photographer would). This one was before I put my camera away! After about 20 minutes of what seemed to be a staring contest they moved on. Each THUD was felt as their feet hit the ground with weight as they walked passed the rear of my car.
All I can say is that I'm glad I got the shots!
Got to love Africa hey?
Here is another photo from the night that I caught up with Adrian and Skye.
You can check out Skye's blog here
Her blog is quite inspirational. Currently Skye has set a challenge for herself – to last 30 days without eating any confectionery! Is it me or is that just a crazy challenge? I don't think I could last 30 days without lollies! Could you?
This was a six image stitch blended with PTGui. Shot with my Canon 17-40mm f4 and Manfrotto 303SPH. Andrew Halsall was standing right next to me when I took this…talk about pressure to get it right!
If you use PTGui there are a few little hints that I will share with you at a later stage (when I have some spare time).
So until next time
Happy Shooting

Ironbound Express Announce
Brooklyn Native Oral Bullen Joins Express for Sophomore Campaign
Newark, N.J. (Sunday, April 19, 2009) – The Newark Ironbound Express announced their first player commitment for 2009 today with New Jersey Ironmen defender Oral Bullen joining the club for the upcoming outdoor season. Bullen, a former player for the Portland Timbers, comes to the Express right on time as the team will embark upon their second season in the USL Premier Development League on Sunday, May 3rd, at Lubetkin Field.
"It wasn't until training this past week that I realized how much I had missed playing outdoor soccer," Bullen commented. "We have a nice mixture of young players and veterans with professional playing experience here, and I like the squad already. I'm definitely excited about getting everything going for the upcoming season with the Express."
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Bullen is the ultimate portrayal of overcoming obstacles to achieve your dreams. During his time at MLK High School in Manhattan, he was a winner of three championships in four seasons and also captained the team during both his junior and senior years. He was twice named to the All-New York City First Team and received the honor of being selected the New York City Player of the Year in 2001.
After graduating from MLK High School, Bullen went on to become one of the top scorers in school history when he played college soccer at the University of Massachusetts. He served as captain of the Minutemen during both his junior and senior seasons and finished his collegiate career with 54 points in 75 games. His 21 goals and 12 assists placed him just outside the UMass all-time top 10 points list. The two-time All-Atlantic 10 Conference selection helped lead the Minutemen to two A-10 tournament berths, and he was also honored as an NSCAA/adidas All-New England Second Team selection following his junior year.
Bullen first played in the professional ranks as a member of the Portland Timbers in 2006. He registered a pair of goals and an assist for the USL-1 side, once earning Team of the Week accolades. He took his game indoors for the first time in 2006 for the Milwaukee Wave, tallying seven points (two goals, three assists) and five blocks in 18 matches. He followed up that performance with another accomplished year in Milwaukee, recording eight points (goal, six assists) and 21 blocks, showing his durability by missing only a single contest.
This past year, Bullen returned to the metropolitan area after signing with the New Jersey Ironmen. He displayed the true grit of an ironman, playing in every match of the 2008-09 XSL season and notching eight points on a three pointer, pair of two-pointers and an assist.
Season ticket packages for the Express start as low as $25 for kids and $50 for adults. The Express will also be offering a special family season ticket pack for only $99 which includes a pair of adult season passes and two youth season passes for all eight Express home games. Fans can get their season ticket packages today by sending an email request to Mike Milich, Express Director of Ticket Sales, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Father of Lies K. J. Parker
|Limited Edition
Dust jacket illustration by Vincent Chong
Bringing together KJ Parker's recent novellas and novelettes, totaling over 500 pages of wry, twisty fiction, Father of Lies delves into the arcane as never before. Set amid the world of Parker's critically acclaimed novels and award winning stories, as well as our own, this volume reveals a side rarely glimpsed in his other works. Contained herein are the tales of creatures that pluck the strings of existence, exposing the seedy underbelly of ultimate power as only Parker can.
It begins with love, as it often does. In All the Things We Do for Love, Parker demonstrates the age old proverb 'be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.' It continues with a fall from grace, in Downfall of the Gods, where a daughter of heaven unwittingly pits herself against her divine family. Demonic pacts are everywhere, in The Devil You Know, where Parker returns to Saloninus, his iconic character who will finish what he started so many years ago. It ends with a beginning, in No Peace for the Wicked, as a New Pope is chosen to push back the darkness.
Filled with Parker's hallmark wit and biting humor, Father of Lies is an essential collection, not just for the dedicated fantasist, but for anyone committed to a great story well told. Like all of KJ Parker's brilliant fiction, these stories whisper the truth.
Just ask yourself, can you trust the Father of Lies?

- The Things We Do for Love

An Intriguing Discovery From My Estate Sale Chair
26 comments:
- AnonymousMay 29, 2012 at 7:25 PM
I am just like you with my imagination. I would knock on the door.ReplyDelete
Definitely don't leave it alone! At the least you should knock on the door--it can't hurt and you may regret it if you don't. I think it's fascinating that you found it and am coming up with all sorts of stories in my head. I love that you have such a passion for the history of your area!ReplyDelete
WOW! What if someone hid it there for a reason...I let my imagination run wild too!ReplyDelete
It totally reminds me of the book "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" where the son hunts down the source of his father's key. It is such a fun mystery.. and usually the hunt (and all the fantasies you have about where it came from) is more interesting than the truth!ReplyDeleteReplies
We actually saw that movie a few weeks ago and I thought the same thing! Finding alone has already been pretty fun, it will be interesting to see where things go from here!Delete
I think you should definitely look into it! The past is so interesting and if someone took the time to conceal it inside the chair then it must be worth looking for! Can't wait for your follow up post on this find!ReplyDelete
Oh, TOTALLY knock! But I'm not sure that I would just turn it over-- if they don't seem interested, I would hang onto it (frame it?), and wait for the next owners. If they don't care, then ask if you can check things out! I would by DYING!!! Thanks for sharing your awesome mystery!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oooo like the idea of turning it into art if I don't get to pass it along. Thanks for the idea!Delete
It wouldn't hurt to go and knock on the door. Yes they may think "who is this crazy woman " but they maybe like me (and your other followers) and be curious too. I have skeleton key locks on all my doors and NOT ONE KEY! If a previous owner or someone like you knocked on my door, I would be so excited. I do have a collection of skeleton keys and have tried each on every door. I luckily found one that works on my son's bedroom door and , let me tell you, you would have thought I won the lottery I was so excited!ReplyDelete
You will regret it if you don't.Replies
I have skeleton key locks on our doors too and have no keys for them, so you have an excellent and logical point here- which I can present if someone answers the door :) then I might not sound as crazy!Delete
I would sooo go knock! If there was no one there I would see if I could contact the realtor and ask if you could have a look around! Maybe it's to unlock special treasure in a special desk or something hahaha. I certainly wouldn't just hand it over though, I'd ask to be joined in on the hunt! Hehehe it's just so exciting!!ReplyDeleteReplies
You are totally right, I am still not sure if it is listed but if I see a realtor to contact I totally will!Delete
I think you found it for a reason...go knocking!! It's too much of a coincidence...you're totally intrigued by the house in the first place, then get a chance to get inside and sneak a peek, and now a mysterious key?! Totally go over there!! It's like the house is trying to tell you something ;) (me and my imagination! lol!) Let us know what you end up doing :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh geeze, I could only hope it would lead to a longer tour of the house! I didn't get to see the 2nd & 3rd floor that day, that would be awesome!Delete
If you end up keeping the key, make a pillow and tie the key (or sew) it on with twine or ribbon so that the key hangs on the center of the pillow. Keep the pillow on the chait...perfect!Delete
I feel like the bad girl here...I wouldn't return it, I'd turn it into a necklace. How cute would that be?ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh! That would be cute AND a fun way to save/ showcase it! I will keep that in mind in case my key mystery doesn't go anywhere :) I think I have to try though and most likely I will get shot down, so it really might end up on a necklace. Thanks for the fun & different idea!Delete
they won't know any thing about that key, the chair could have come from another estate sale years ago .ReplyDelete
It is nice of you to try and return it to the original owners but , well go see
I have done these same things before at estate sales and people acted like I was bothering them with small things . Once I found old letters and compact with notes in them and try to give them back and family didn't want them, so any more I just keep what I find( if I find )
I know that could totally be true, but I hope not! I guess I'd rather try and find out than never know and always wonder. I can always keep the key if they aren't interested or think I am crazy :)Delete
- Chriss ReichowMay 30, 2012 at 2:30 PM
Seeing as the house has been in the same family since it was built or shortly thereafter, someone might actually recognize the key. I'd see if you can get in touch with the listing agent. (I may know someone that could help with that and would share that info privately.)ReplyDelete
Otherwise, what a great piece of art or attach it as art on the chair itself when you are done with it.Replies
Hi Chris, I wonder if the house is listed on MLS yet? I can check today but yes send me any helpful info through email! I'd love to at least try and see if this key belongs anywhere special in that house, isn't is a crazy twist to the story?!?!Delete
Oh, you must do it Carla. We don't have as much long family history down here in Australia as you do in the States, it would be wonderful if it opened some long closed up closet or similar, ala "The Secret Garden"!ReplyDelete
- Old highlanderMay 30, 2012 at 9:02 PM
Carla, In the spirit of the old skeleton key. We, or should I say my wife, took out one of our old mortice door locks and brought it to A Dave's locksmiths on Emerson just north of broadway. My comment was a sarcastic "good luck", and believe it or not they supplied us with a new skeleton key! Our house had been converted to apartments, (6) of them, over the years and we have mortice locks on all of the doors.ReplyDelete
I vote knock on the door! If they don't share your enthusiasm, repurposing is in order.
- AnonymousJune 1, 2012 at 12:30 PM
If anyone has information about when the house will go on the market, I would love to know. I'm a fellow northsider (victory) and I am very interested--I would love to restore it. I heard a rumor years ago that Carl Eller lives next door.ReplyDelete
Carla: Im also a fellow Michigander & estate sale/junker nut. I enjoy your blog--keep up the great posts!
Don't forget about the Victory & Camden garage sale June2--
I grew up in an old house and we had those keys. If they still have the doors with the locks it'd be nice to have the key but it really isn't anything special. I don't think the key was hidden in the chair but simply fell into the crack. In other words, at the time, an ordinary key that fell out of a pocket perhaps, just like the gum wrapper (which I also ate as a child.)ReplyDelete
My daughter's say, "Solve the mystery!!" HOW FUN!!!ReplyDelete
