dave101 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 98 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Wedding Music Unveiled (http://www.WeddingMusicUnveiled.com)
Wedding Music Unveiled is a new business that will assist in planning music for wedding ceremonies. We are musicians with much church wedding experience. We recognize that most people have little experience or knowledge of classical music. With this recognition and our experience, we aim to help couples plan a distinctive, memorable wedding without resulting to overused favorites (such as the ubiquitous Canon in D).
Other sites, businesses and books try to be all things to all people and offer musical help for weddings in gardens, churches of all types and just about every other kind of wedding. As a result, they tend to be generic, incomplete, and sometimes misleading regarding church weddings. We will focus exclusively on what we know: the Christian church wedding.
Our products will include free tips & blog articles as well as guidebooks, CDs and other products.
We want to develop our web site into a community where those planning church weddings (or just thinking about the subject) can come together to share and discuss ideas & resources.
Feel free to check out our website (WeddingMusicUnveiled.com; currently only a blog site) to get a feel for the business (the site design is still in progress--waiting for the logo).
Our target audience consists of two distinct groups.
Our primary target are those (generally women) planning their weddings (whether actually scheduled or still a dream) and those who might be assisting her.
Our secondary target are wedding musicians (for the most part, church musicians such as organists and pianists).
The logo should be usable in a variety of different media types: web site header, business cards, print, print advertising, even vinyl signage (such as a for a trade show booth).
The logo should inspire confidence (which will come from our experience) and be appropriate for a subject matter authority.
I am very much open to different design concepts, though my initial thought was to use musical symbology (perhaps a treble clef or eighth notes) playing off the word "unveiled" somehow. But please do not feel bound to it.
- Should be flat, not 3D in appearance
- Do not include URL
- Christian symbology (such as a cross) should not be used
- Should not be too complex or busy
- Must have a modern, professional appearance.
- Must not seem stuffy, boring nor cartoony
- I imagine a blue (& white) logo, but am open to other ideas. It should also work in B&W.
- Must not be girly (pink not desired)
- Horizontal layout (better for web banners, business cards)
- I'm undecided as to the role the brand name should play in the logo. I think I'll need to start seeing entries before I can state a preference.
- If you include brand name, use full name, not abbreviation WMU
- Do not include tagline (is on site but deliberately not mentioned here)
Please provide Illustrator (.ai), GIF & uncompressed JPEG files.

TRACY - A biomass power plant must pay $145,000 for failing to properly operate and maintain its emissions monitoring equipment, the Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday.
TRACY - A biomass power plant must pay $145,000 for failing to properly operate and maintain its emissions monitoring equipment, the Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday.
Thermal Energy Development failed to monitor various emissions for anywhere from nine to 30 months, the EPA said, adding there were no known actual violations of emissions.
EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld said in a statement that the San Joaquin Valley, with some of the poorest air quality in the nation, "cannot afford to risk any further deterioration."
TRACY - Sutter Gould Medical Foundation recently approved the purchase of the Eaton Medical Plaza at 441 W. Eaton Ave., adjacent to Sutter Tracy Community Hospital, a move that will allow for the development of a new Sutter Gould care center at the site.
Anticipated for fall 2014, the new facility will offer Sutter Gould patients access to all their primary and specialty care providers at one location in Tracy instead of three, and it will allow for future growth.
There are 12 Sutter Gould physicians working in Tracy, but more are expected to be established by the time the new center is ready to occupy.

Players look on as Devin DiDiomete (28) and Phil Rauch (20) fight at the end of the second period (photo by Chicago Express)
Coming into Wednesday night's game, the Toledo Walleye (DET/CHI) and the Chicago Express (CBJ) had already met six times this season, splitting wins evenly between them at three a piece. Chicago took the first three decisions, and the Walleye took the last three. After Wednesday's final decision, the Walleye have now won four, claiming a 4-3 victory over the Express.
The game didn't start out so bad for the Express. Mike Embach scored a beauty in the first period, taking advantage of a turnover at the opposite blue line to fly through the neutral zone, deke around three defenders, and put the puck top shelf. The goal sent the Express into the locker room with a 1-0 lead at the first intermission. But when the team stepped onto the ice in the second, things turned disastrous.
Walleye forward Christopher DiDomenico scored twice less than four minutes into the second period, first on a power play, then at even strength, making it 2-1 in favor of Toledo. After the Express began trailing for the first time in the game, everything went wrong. Pucks were continuously turned over, the defense was sloppy, and Express had significant trouble putting passes on their teammates' tape.
The Walleye took advantage, and struck again. Allen York misplayed the puck 10 feet in front of his own net, and suddenly Kyle Rogers had his sixth goal of the year. Just seconds later, Joey Martin got another puck past York, and it was 4-1 Walleye.
Instead of getting inspired, the Express got angry. A lot of chirping began. During a faceoff, Bobby Robins clearly asked Nick Oslund if he wanted to fight. Oslund shook his head no. Net mouth scrums got more and more frequent as the Express tried to get some kind of spark going. After putting only five shots on goal in the second period, the Express' frustration finally spilled into a full-fledged fight just after the horn indicating the end of the period.
Devin DiDiomete, fresh off injured reserve, went up against Phil Rauch. Though smaller, DiDiomete looked to get the better of Rauch, knocking Rauch's helmet off and eventually taking him down to the ice. The only punches Rauch landed were right on DiDiomete's helmet, resulting in a bloody hand for Rauch. DiDiomete was assessed a two-minute roughing minor, a five-minute fighting major, and a ten-minute misconduct, and as a result, missed most of the third period. Rauch received just a five-minute major.
But the fight appeared to serve its purpose. The Express came out in the third period ready to battle for goals. Five minutes in, several Express players crashed the net and ended up scoring, with Kyle Ostrow getting credit for the marker. Ten minutes later, Chaz Johnson scored a rocket of a one-timer from the dot on a power play.
It was 4-3 Walleye with five minutes to go, and the Express were not going to give up. With one minute remaining, Allen York sprinted to the bench to get an extra man on to try for an equalizer. Walleye goaltender Thomas McCollum faced a flurry of shots, but nothing got through, and the Express fell short in their comeback.
Though there were at least two goals that Allen York would no doubt like to have back, he made 29 saves on 33 shots as the Walleye outshot the Express 33-20.
Though there were at least two goals that Allen York would no doubt like to have back, he made 29 saves on 33 shots as the Walleye outshot the Express 33-20.
Just after the final horn, there was an altercation between Chaz Johnson and Matt Krug of the Walleye. Something Krug said or did very obviously set Johnson off, sending him into hysterics as a referee struggled to hold him back. Johnson smashed his stick on the ice before finally heading down the tunnel, leaving the Walleye to celebrate their victory.
Given the nature of the scene, I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson faces any supplemental discipline from the league for unsportsmanlike conduct. It's fitting, as that capped off a game in which Johnson surpassed his 1,000th pro career penalty minute (he had four penalty minutes in total on the night).
Friday night, the Express face the Elmira Jackals (OTT/ANA). Tyler Donati, named the second star of the game with two assists, said the game plan against the Jackals is pretty obvious: "Play like we played in the third."

For most of us who work for U.S. and Canadian Catholic newspapers and related industries, the Catholic Press Association's annual journalism awards are our Oscars, Emmys and Tony Awards all rolled into one. This year's award announcements last Friday evening at the conclusion of the annual Catholic Media Convention in Toronto brought CNS several prizes, most notably for our international coverage.
In an era of media cutbacks and consolidations, we're proud to say that we have an eye focused on the international church. Cardinal John P. Foley, former president of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications and a former Catholic newspaper editor in Philadelphia, often has reminded the Catholic press of Pope John Paul II's admonition for those of us in the developed world to be in solidarity with our Catholic brothers and sisters around the globe. And to do that, Cardinal Foley has said, Catholic newspapers should devote space to international news so Catholic readers can be well informed about global issues.
So we're proud to say that we take extra efforts to report on international issues, something that the mainstream media has been trimming in recent years.
Many of our award-winning stories (linked below) are worth reading again, for they give us a glimpse into the struggles of church members around the world. Whether it be gangs in Honduras or Iraqi refugees stuck in Jordan — or even the activity of the Holy See in Rome — CNS offers coverage unmatched in the Catholic world.
And soon we hope to begin offering individuals complete access to our entire news report, not just those few stories we post daily on our public site.
More on that later this year. In the meantime, here are the stories that won us first place in this year's competition for calendar 2007:
1. You may have heard of the plight of Iraqi refugees who have fled to Jordan because of the war, but you may not know that we sent our Jerusalem correspondent, Judith Sudilovsky, to Amman more than a year ago. Her stories won her first place for best investigative news writing. Judges said her stories "shed light on an underreported repercussion of the war in Iraq. It clearly took some digging to find these people…." We posted eight stories from Judith for our clients; here are three of them:
- Church aid officials say influx of Iraqis puts burden on Jordan
- Iraqi Christians face danger; some say it was better under Saddam
- Home visits: A glimpse at some Iraqi refugees in Amman
2. Three stories by freelance writer Paul Jeffrey on keeping youths out of gangs in Honduras won us a first-place for best reporting on teenagers. The judges said that "readers could not help but be drawn into the plight of Father Thomas Goekler as he fought to keep the youth of Chamelecon out of the street gangs." Here are the stories:
- Maryknoll missionary sows hope in Honduran gang neighborhood
- Father shot dead after leaving Honduran gang, building new life
- Church workers: Repressing Central American gangs fuels violence
3. Our Rome bureau also took first place in the category of best news writing on an international event for coverage by John Thavis of the Tridentine Mass issue. Judges said his articles "are a comprehensive, well-reported and well-written account of a major development in the Catholic Church." Here are John's stories:
- Tridentine Mass: Pope looks for bridge to tradition
- Traditionalists find reverence, calm at pre-Vatican II Mass in Rome
- Pope relaxes restrictions on use of Tridentine Mass
- Traditionalists: Differences still remain after Tridentine document
- Vatican: Pope not taking church backward with Tridentine decree
We had other winners as well, such as a first place for our Spanish-language columnist, Moises Sandoval; a second place for our spiritual life columnist, Father Peter J. Daly; a third-place for our Peruvian earthquake coverage; an honorable mention for last year's China series; and a slew of awards for our photos and graphics. These are stories you can get nowhere else, and we will continue to bring them to you.
UPDATE: Shorly after I posted this, the CPA alerted members that the awards list has been posted on its Web site.

Poppy Seed (Papaver somniferum)Latin Name: Papaver somniferum
Common Names: Poppy seed
The poppy seed (Papaver somniferum) is a tiny, kidney shaped seed from the poppy flower. It has been cultivated for some 3,000 years throughout Asia, Asia Minor and parts of the Middle East for food seasonings and as a medicinal herb.
There are two major varieties of the poppy seed. The blue variety is a common seasoning in European baking, while the white variety is used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Despite differences in appearance, there is only slight variation in flavor between the two.
Although the poppy is sometimes grown for its opiate properties, culinary poppy seeds are allowed to mature, leaving them devoid of opiates at the time of harvest. When used for food seasonings, poppy seeds only add a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and aroma to any dish. The warm flavor grows more pronounced and a bit spicier when a dish featuring poppy seeds is exposed to heat.
Poppy seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, making them a healthful choice for organic seasonings. They can be used whole or crushed, though they are difficult to grind unless first roasted.
Poppy seeds are used as food seasonings in a variety of ways throughout the world. In Western cuisine, they flavor baked goods, such as breads and cakes, while they are ground and used to thicken sauces and curries in Indian and Turkish foods. European and Slavic cuisine uses poppy seeds to season fish, vegetable and noodle dishes.

Minnesota Records 15 More Flu-Related Deaths
ST. PAUL (AP) — Flu activity may be slowing down in Minnesota.
The Minnesota Department of Health on Thursday confirmed 15 more flu-related deaths. That raises Minnesota's death toll this season to 75.
But the number of confirmed flu-related deaths was down last week compared with the previous week, when 33 deaths were confirmed.
The number of hospitalizations due to flu also was down last week — 208, compared with 476 the week before.
Health Department spokesman Doug Schultz says it will be another week before officials know if the flu season has peaked in Minnesota, But he says the trend is slowing down.
There was an uptick last week in the number of Minnesota schools reporting outbreaks of influenza-like illness. But Schultz says that may be because of students returning to school.

I have a friend who never wears coats. He also happens to live in Pennsylvania and often at college I would catch him outside shivering, near a pile of dirty snow. His personal theory was that he could get everywhere he was going quickly. Thus, why does one need a coat if you are trotting from warm car to warm building? I have another PA friend who wears flip flops year round, again despite chill weather. Perhaps PA turns you crazy, but lately I have been inching towards their personal philosophy. Is it warm enough to wear open-toed shoes and bare legs right now? No, but if I'm only planning on being outside for a minute...

What a pretty skirt! I was a fan of Leanne's collections, so I love this one!ReplyDelete
I love the second pic's outfit. So casually chic!ReplyDelete
love the skirt! <3ReplyDelete
what a great philosophy, sometimes i abide by it as well. for example, today we are experiencing the worst snow storm in about 6 years, and i decided to go shovel snow in a sweatshirt, leggings and wellies.ReplyDelete
but you look adorable, as usual
- AnonymousFebruary 10, 2010 at 9:30 AM
it looks so nice.ReplyDelete
i like your pullover,coulour of nails and the nature:)
i'm such a baby about the cold! i layer and layer, haha! i guess that's a cali girl for ya.... love the look... simple, but cute!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 10, 2010 at 9:38 AM
i love your shoes!!!ReplyDelete
Super cute. I love the way you look in the second to last pic! There's something about your smile. The shoes are awesome too. I like your "only outside for a little while" philosophy. I'm afraid I sometimes follow it as well. ;-)ReplyDelete
Though I must admit I wore open toed shoes WITH tights the other day and I couldn't help thinking all day: "Do people think I'm crazy for wearing open toed shoes in the middle of winter?" That said it IS 10 degrees outside (Celsius!)
your shoes are wonderful!!!ReplyDelete
also, a few days ago i didnt wear a coat because i figured warm building to warm car.. but usually im a baby.
- AnonymousFebruary 10, 2010 at 9:48 AM
beautiful pictures! awesome outfit :)ReplyDelete
That skirt is perfectly Leanne!You look great in it,darling!ReplyDelete
Yeah and seriously, what up with crazy people and no coats, my boyfriend doesn't like to wear coats if he can avoid it, he just puts on a bazillion layers of clothing that I end up having to launder. I shall never understand.
Love this outfit....seems a little different than what you usually wear, but I love the casual feel to it!ReplyDelete
Lovely outfit as usual, the shoes and skirt are great... and, did you know that Leanne has a blog too? It's http://petalsandwaves.blogspot.com/ReplyDelete
Love yr blog!
You look adorable. I love the shoes and the skirt is very nice, especially with the draping and high waist. I don't know if I could adopt the no coat, no tights philosophy. I think I a) like wearing them too much and b) am cold even in the house if its under 70 degrees:)ReplyDelete
If you hadn't described your friend, I was going to ask if it was Suri Cruise. That poor child hardly ever has a coat on!ReplyDelete
your outfit is amazing and i love that you take your pictures outside, the landscapes are so beautifulReplyDelete
i want to live where you live, its so beautifulReplyDelete
What a beautiful setting! And I love this skirt and the way it folds. It's my mission this year to find interesting skirts as all I seem to buy is dresses!ReplyDelete
Seriously too cold in the UK for bare legs, but then I am a bit of a wuss..
I'm in PA and your friend sounds a bit crazy especially since the entire state is currently living under 2 feet+ of snow right now.ReplyDelete
Loving that Jeffrey Campbell shoes! I love the heel that isn't too high.
I really love the outfit !ReplyDelete
And that ring.... THAT RING !
Everything in this post is absolutely beautiful! The way that skirt flows is gorgeous and is totally reminiscent of Leanne's aesthetic for her last collection; such an aptly named skirt. Although I do like your friends' philosophy on not wearing coats and such if we're only going to be outside for a few minutes, I could never go through with it. I overdress during the winter because I get cold much too easily so I always have to be bundled up with layers! I applaud your notion to go with peep toes and bare legs today.ReplyDelete
Also, that fourth landscape photo is heavenly. Such a lovely shot.
This skirt fits your style so well! I like how it's a bit dressy, yet you paired it with a graphic tee. Though I have to say-- you look great, but craaazy, bare legs?? I shiver for you. :OReplyDelete
I love that your landscapes look so secluded. It is like your own little world.ReplyDelete
The amount of love I have for your blog is indecent. Everything is so perfect! The outfit, the ring, the setting/scenery, photography . . . *sigh*ReplyDelete
the shoes are gorgeousReplyDelete
Those shoes are killing me! love the colors in your outfit and gorgeous pics as usual.ReplyDelete
Starship Narcissus
This color combo is fabulous and I think i'm going to have to copy your nails!!!ReplyDelete
That skirt is so beautiful! I love the draping.ReplyDelete
It must be a mid-Atlantic thing...I see insane people walking around in shorts and flip-flops in winter all the time at the U of DE! (For the record, I've never been one of them...I get cold way too easily!)ReplyDelete
Also, I usually don't care for bubble skirts, but that one looks very cute on you.
And I love the quote you used for the title.
haha, i have a similar coat theory, except i live in one of the most termperate climates in the country...ReplyDelete
only i hope this theory pans out while in new york because i don't have that many coats!!!!
see you soon! ;)
I think it IS a PA thing. I grew up in Pittsburgh and went to school with a guy who was determined to wear shorts every day for a year (even in the snow). And my freshman year at Penn State, I knew a guy who would wear a white undershirt and green sweat pants every day. No jacket, no different colored shirt or sweats. White undershirt and green sweats every day.ReplyDelete
Gosh, my state is so bizarre.
did you go to temple? my good friend hunter goes there and loves philly!ReplyDelete
Oo, like how you dressed down the skirt with a t-shirt and then balanced it all out with super cool shoes.ReplyDelete
This all looks so great on you!! I love siloutte of the skirt. The teal cardi is a great pop to all the other neutrals.ReplyDelete
love that skirt - the drape on it is so nice.ReplyDelete
Oh my...I would wear 2 or more coats sometimes and it's not even half cold here than PA!!ReplyDelete
I'm watching that season of Project Runway only now...Italy is a bit slow airing certain shows!
I love this skirt, color, design and all. Your blog is great. I love the outdoor pictures.ReplyDelete
love the skirt! and the pop of color the sweater gives the outfit.ReplyDelete
Haha I don't care if I'm cold for five seconds, if it's cold I have to bring a coat! Lovely outfit, those shoes are wonderful and I love the color of your cardigan! That skirt looks like fun too!ReplyDelete
oh dear.ReplyDelete
i must say i'm so in love with this outfit.
it's perfect!
the skirt is gorgeous<3
your shoes. gorgeous.ReplyDelete
lovelove, M.
you have great movement in that skirt. it perfectly drapes and hits at a great length.ReplyDelete
Your photos are always so lovely, but every now and then (well, okay, pretty much every post) there is one shot that just hypnotizes me! That first one, the background, the way you're standing, hair, colors! Ahhh! So beautiful.ReplyDelete
I really love this outfit. The shoes and skirt are great!ReplyDelete
aw, that background makes me miss the Seattle area something terrible :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 10, 2010 at 12:43 PM
Really digging the fact that the title of this post is an LOTR quote...and I only know that because I'm a super nerd. The landscape shot as out of this world, as well.ReplyDelete
the skirt is exactly the kind of thing Leanne would design, it's superb. your photos are amazing as always. I wish I had a view as beautiful as yours. I love living in the city, but would kill for a getaway to where you live.ReplyDelete
That skirt is positively divine. I like this relaxed look, and I think it's a bit rocker chic.ReplyDelete
my way around bare legs without being ridiculously cold is to wear white tights with skin-coloured pantyhose over the top... they look just like bare legs, but you have the benefit of another layer =)
could be a problem with open-toed shoes though... all those seams..
I know what you mean - I'm fed up of winter clothes (and winter) and just want spring and warmth. Only when it's actually snowing do I reluctantly pull on my coat and tights... xxxxReplyDelete
Awesome picutres this is such a cute outfit goregous skirtReplyDelete
The grey skirt is great, but it's the cardigan that makes this outfit. I love the grey in the skirt mixed with the turquoise color of the cardigan! And I'm itching to wear sandals again, but alas- I'm in Cleveland and we have about a foot and a half of snow outside =/ReplyDelete
Leanne was my favorite of that season, I would def. love to see more of her work.ReplyDelete
I never thought about your friends theories before, but I suppose it is true....
I love your shirt, I've been looking for a screen printed tee but haven't had any luck!
The killer shoes make the outfit completely you. I love how you mixed the romantic skirt with a tee and the lace-up shoes! And the cardigan adds great color.ReplyDelete
amazing skirt! my friend looks just like Leeanne. For facebook doppelganger week she put a photo up and her mother asked her when she got new glasses haha.ReplyDelete
These are beautiful images, so clear and crisp. Your hair looks stunning on the backdrop of the lake and forest.ReplyDelete
awwww this makes me miss summer! that outfit is perfect.ReplyDelete
the skirt is gorgeous! and i really love the color of your cardigan <33ReplyDelete
I totally understand!! Sometimes I wear seemingly inappropriate clothing for the weather, but it's just because I'm really not outside for more than a minute.ReplyDelete
you look lovely, and very brave, i'm still a bundle up girl, for 60 degrees is cold.. :)ReplyDelete
I am always tempted to ditch the coat or opt for some sheer tights instead of leggings, but I am a big wuss. I start calculating that it will take 15 minutes to wait for the bus [each way] and then 10 to walk to class and decide that 25 minutes is enough for leggings... and occasionally, to my embarrassment, uggs.
your hair looks PERFECT today!ReplyDelete
That skirt IS so Leanne! And I am the opposite, wearing too many layers as I don't want to be cold. Also my house is too warm for other people too.ReplyDelete
Cute! I love this skirt and the cardi looks so pretty with your hair colour :)ReplyDelete
Pretty pretty -- I love the open toed shoes, you're rocking them. And hye, it's nearly March. Or something :).ReplyDelete
I love the pictures you have here! Especially the one with the reflection of the trees on the water...gorgeous. :) And your outfit is lovely as well - not happy you're coatless, you tiny thing - but I agree on basic skirts and whatnot. Timeless pieces... and my mom's name is Leanna, haha, which is a name you don't hear too often...ReplyDelete
I love your lace up shoes, and as always, your nature/fashion photography. For some reason my legs never get cold, I swear I could go bare legged in Greenland and be fine with it.ReplyDelete
cold weather be damned, your outfit is fabulous! the skirt is indeed the perfect stormy sky item- i love the sideways movement of the pleats. and those shoes are so fun! by the way- are you headed to nyc this weekend? i hope to see you around! ~joelleReplyDelete
Wow,GORGEOUS backdrop.ReplyDelete
Beautiful outfits and wonderful locations. I love your creative photographs, their so clean and polished! :DReplyDelete
ah! i love modcloth! i got perhaps a little overly excited about a new dress i just got from them (http://thegaminechronicles.blogspot.com/2010/02/welcome-to-family.html)! the skirt is adorable :]ReplyDelete
The whole look is fantastic. I wish it was warm enough here to get away with wearing a skirt and shoes like that! Fabulous as usual. (:ReplyDelete
That skirt is super amazing. There's an award waiting for you on my blog! See you in a few short days... Annie.ReplyDelete
Those are great shoes!ReplyDelete
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love those shoes! And I completely agree...Leanne was absolutely adorable!ReplyDelete
I love how you downplayed such a strong skirt with a tee...it looks fabulous!
Oh, one of my favorite Lord of the Rings quotes. It makes me sad.ReplyDelete
I love ModCloth. They are so cute with their product names! I also love the ring you are wearing. So cool! I love statement rings even though I always end up taking them off mid-day because I type all day long!ReplyDelete
aaahhh!!! love that skirt!!!! lovely lovely!:DReplyDelete
I love your shoes!ReplyDelete
also, I completely feel the same about skirts. I love a pretty, solid colour to make my tees look less casual.
I like this particular piece, because like the dynamic nature of the landscapes where you photograph, there is movement in the shape and cut of the skirt, even while you are standing still.ReplyDelete
The cut and angle of it, though, are a nice edgy, urban juxtaposition against the very pastoral existence of the elements in the background.
It's an interaction of nature and man while at the same time sort of mirroring similarities.
I don't think your friends are wise if they are doing that same thing now, considering PA has gotten pounded with at least two feet of snow in the last few days.
When there's a drop in temps and an inch of precipitation on the ground, I think nonsensical shoes (like flip flops in winter) are alright indoors but not when you are outside, no matter how little time you spend outside. If it's snowing and 25F, I'm not going to venture outside without a coat and sweater and snow boots. Granted, I will have cute accessories and shoes in my tote bag to change into the minute I get to the office, but still. Function over form first.
love the third photo! very cute.ReplyDelete
I just adore that skirt! Leanne was my favorite! Her final collection was just so cohesive, soft and lovely.ReplyDelete
You are so lucky not to have to wear layers upon layers and boots with everything. I do not have the whole from a warm car to a warm someplace else possibility, and waiting for the bus takes quite some time.
Though, I'm pretty sure that even though you can go tightsless you are still hoping for an early spring with the rest of us.
yes, that skirt is so 'leanne'..with it's petal construction like her final collection...ReplyDelete
i wear flip-flops all year round but only cuz we live in a tropical country! i don't think i can survive the cold without boots and a jacket (a thick one at that)..i even almost shivered to death at 10 deg celcius in HK...LOL.
♥ vanilla ice cream ♥
it is a little crazy but that's kind of my theory too... it can be such a pain to have to carry all your coats and winter gear when you're tromping around indoors tooReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 10, 2010 at 9:08 PM
I go to school in Pittsburgh PA, and I actually know a few people who would fit perfectly into your theory. I don't understand how they can trudge through slush with their toes exposed and their arms bare, but they manage to do it all winter.ReplyDelete
Lovely skirt!
you look so cute! and are so much braver than I. Snow past my ankles keeps me in knee high boots...ready for peep toes any day now!ReplyDelete
wow! i love your shoes + such a beautiful siteReplyDelete
love ur drappe skirt and print tee, you always have cool stuff, I need ur tips how to get lot of sponsor ?ReplyDelete
Haha wow you're brave not wearing any tights - I even hate leaving the house with it being so cold outside.ReplyDelete
That skirt and your shoes are so pretty! And adored Leanne's collection.
your ring is amazing!ReplyDelete
and so are your shoes!! lovely outfit as usual
Nice outfit, love that skirt and t-shirt! That ring you're wearing is absoluty gorgeous!ReplyDelete
And the scenery for the photos, wow what an amazing place!
Splendid scenery! i love your outfit too, the skirt has a nice drape.ReplyDelete
Talking about people who wear flip flops in winter, i saw them around campus in NE, wearing flip flop though it was snowing, then they went inside a building and complain about being cold..
im the same if im going from house to car then office building then why wear a coat! saying that today it is snowing and today i am wearing a coat LOL! loving your outfit xReplyDelete
I am so ready for open-toed shoes! However my city is still a big block of ice, so I'd be falling all over the place.ReplyDelete
I love the entire outfit. The grey is that perfect neutral that works with everything and I obsess over that ring every time I see it.
Ah, hello Lanvin inspired skirt. I love how it folds to the side. Great find.ReplyDelete
I love this outfit - and I was just looking at those shoes online. I think I may need to get them now. :)ReplyDelete
Beautiful combination! Those shoes are so unique, and I love the pop of color that you get from the cardi!ReplyDelete

I live in PA and maybe it is something about this place that gives us that philosophy. I haven't taken a winter jacket to school since i started high school because i walk to then end of my drive way to my brothers car and into the school. although i do bring a sweatshirt in the winter, but that's just for winter track where i'm outside running for an hour.ReplyDelete
also, i've seen kids in the past week where boys were wearing shorts and girls were wearing skirts with nothing under them. it really may be something about the people in PA.
aw. another beautiful post :) the skirt looks cute and I really like the lake scenery ;) anyway Jeffrey Campbell is my fav brand, too bad they don't sell any here :( jealous seeing you wearing that pair of Campbell's.ReplyDelete
Amazing look once again!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 11, 2010 at 8:17 AM
I love how unique that sideways drape on the skirt looks, and it does add a lot of interest to an outfit!ReplyDelete
Your outfits are all great. I am totally inspired by you. I hope you dont mind. But i have a silly question...is the weather where you live so good? I am hearing about bad weather all around the world and it makes me wonder... And i am so jealous about the place you leave. You are surrounded by nature!!!ReplyDelete
I can definitely understand this philosophy. When you're hopping from building to building, car to car, I'd rather be chilly for a few moments than either miserably warm or lugging a bunch of layers around after I reach my destination.ReplyDelete
Love your skirt and tee!
cool ring, that environment looks so picturesque!ReplyDelete
My school is outdoors (which sucks beyond belief, obviously the architecht didn't catch on that it is ALWAYS RAINING HERE) so coats are generally necissary. However maybe I'm just going numb, but it seems to be getting warmer and a cardigan seems to suffice.ReplyDelete
I love your skirt, Leanne was my all time favorite PR contestant ever. I haven't watched the new season yet, is it any good?
I love this look! Those colors look lovely together. That skirt is very Leanne-ish. My boyfriend was absolutely in love with her. I liked her designs a lot. I wonder what she's up to these days...ReplyDelete
Modcloth did a lovely job with this skirt, and I love that it's named for Leanne. She's my favorite Project Runway designer, ever (but who doesn't love her?). And of course, I love how you've styled this. Those shoes are badass.ReplyDelete
I love how you paired the skirt with the graphic tee. Gorgeous!ReplyDelete
the skirt is lovely!! and i love the way you paired with a light blue cardi!!ReplyDelete
adorable! such a great color blue :)ReplyDelete
Haha, that's my philosophy too. People always ask me if I'm cold and I'm like, "No, I'm inside. It's warm in here."ReplyDelete
I adored Leanne. She was my all time favorite PR contestant (though I'm really loving Anna Lynett from this season. She was a printmaking major!)
Leanne's great! I also liked Kenley... I thought Season 5 was the best-dressed season of contestants. I love the teal with the dark gray.ReplyDelete
the renegade bean
such a cute setting and I love these shoes. The whole thing has a kind of casual purpose to it...very nice.ReplyDelete
I love this outfit! My favorite parts are the cool tshirt, the great pair of Jeffrey Campbells, and most of all, that ring!ReplyDelete
Love your style-
the cardigan was the dit above i.ReplyDelete

For storm drainage emergencies during regular business hours (Monday - Friday, 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m.), call the Maintenance & Stormwater Management Division at 703-877-2800, TTY 711 or use the Storm Drainage Flooding Report Form
For all sanitary sewer emergencies and after-hours storm drainage emergencies, call the 24-hour Trouble Response Center at 703-323-1211, TTY 711.
Sanitary sewers collect sewage and pipe it to a treatment facility. It is a system accessible through manholes, many of which say "Fairfax County Sanitary Sewer." If flooding is due to a backup from a floor drain in your home, especially if there is a sewage smell, it most likely involves a sanitary sewer. The storm drainage system is designed to collect rain water. Unlike the closed sanitary pipe system, it is an open system consisting of pipes, manholes, ditches, curb inlets, yard inlets, swales, outfalls, etc. A storm drain manhole often will say "Storm" or "VDOT."
If the flooding involves a road, call the Virginia Department of Transportation at 703-383-8368, TTY 711. If it involves a house, other building or property, contact the Maintenance & Stormwater Management Division for assistance at 703-877-2800, TTY 711 or by using the Storm Drainage Flooding Report Form. Also see Storm Drainage and Stormwater Facilities or Floodplains for more information.
Flood insurance can be obtained through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) at 1-800-427-4661, TTY 711. Also see the flood information web page or contact the Stormwater Planning Division at 703-324-5500, TTY 711.

Joan Crawford. Katharine Hepburn. Loretta Young and Tyrone Power.
Pre-moustache Clark Gable.
A very young and dapper Ray Milland.
The list of Tinseltown's glitterati continues.
Movie buffs interested in striking photos of the glittering ones would do well to take in "George Hurrell: Laguna to Hollywood" at the Laguna Art Museum until April 28.
Black-and-white and sepia-toned photos Hurrell made of movieland's icons trace the artist's creative journey between 1925 and 1944, though Hurrell's run at glamour photography spanned more than six decades. Thirty-four images of the 72 on display come from the museum's permanent collection, while the rest are on loan from biographer Mark A. Vieira and collector Lou D'Elia.
Born in Cincinnati, Hurrell was a young boy when his family moved to Chicago. Growing up, he enjoyed photography, which provided an income to support his education, while harboring dreams of becoming a painter. A lecture by and conversation with California artist Edgar Payne had the 21-year-old Hurrell, a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, veering westward in 1925.
Staying at a Laguna Beach cottage known as the Paint Box on Ramona Avenue until a fire broke out on March 1, 1926, Hurrell connected with the local community, including William Griffith, William Wendt and Florence Lowe Barnes. A familiar face at parties, he served as a portrait photographer for the area's local artists.
Backed by these friendships, Hurrell experimented with his 8-inch-by-10-inch view camera and tripod, using only natural light. Although he was only able to paint from time to time, his training in art influenced his visual aesthetic, with subjects artfully draped and their anatomy, from their cheekbones to the curves of their bodies, dramatized by the use of the light.
"Studios in the '30s were really pushing glamour," said Janet Blake, the Laguna Art Museum's 14-year curator of early California art. "The motion picture industry was trying to make people forget about the Depression. So, you have these fantasy movies and stars dressed like gods and goddesses. Part of Hurrell's work was what the studios wanted, but it became his specialty, since he really looked with an artist's eye. It is amazing to look at his creation of lights and darks."
Barnes, described by Hurrell as his "first enthusiastic supporter," introduced him to Ramon Novarro, a silent screen star who requested portraits to further his goal of becoming an opera star. When actress Norma Shearer saw Hurrell's handiwork, she solicited a series of photographs, which were shown to her husband, MGM producer Irving Thalberg, so she could secure a role in "The Divorcée."
Not only did she bag the part, but Hurrell signed a contract with MGM, launching his career in the company of Hollywood's biggest names.
"All you need to do is go to the Internet Movie Database and click on, for instance, Norma Shearer, and photo after photo after photo will say 'Hurrell' underneath," Blake said. "We know he didn't shoot Vivien Leigh and Marilyn Monroe. The studio system was very much in force in the '30s and '40s, so many of [the people] whom he photographed were MGM-contracted."
Despite settling in Los Angeles, Hurrell never cut his ties with Laguna Beach, staying in touch with friends and visiting often. His popularity was evidenced by the turnout of nearly 600 people at Saturday's opening reception, and a steady flow every day since.
"People are drawn to his work," Blake said. "We still want that little escape. It takes us to another fantasy kind of world."
According to a 1939 quote that is depicted on the exhibition wall, Hurrell said, "In this business, you have to concentrate on the face. You have to glorify the personality by showing what's in the face. In other words, it all boils down to anatomy, what I'm doing in my pictures. The job is to intensify the modeling, rather than subdue it.
"Maybe I manage this pretty well because I've done some drawing and I know where the bones and muscles of the face are and what they do. I think all photographers should put in a few years of studying and drawing anatomy."

OK, someone needs to sit Dolphins team owner Stephen Ross down and upgrade his iPod or at the very least, his cable package.
The Dolphins said Monday they have apparently joined forces with another blast from the past and will have some major announcement involving the Estefans on Thursday. The last time the team hinted at tag-teaming with a golden oldie, the stadium's name was changed to LandShark courtesy of hometown hero (not!) Jimmy Buffett.
This time, sources say, the Estefans have bought a "very small" ownership stake in the team. Who knows what changes that will bring about.
Perhaps "Miami Dolphins" isn't a groovy enough name for the team. Fans might find out that the team's new name will be The Miami Sound Machine and that Gloria Estefan will be under center for the playoff push next season. For some twisted reason, we are sure that will put more butts in the seats at Land Shark, but that doesn't make it right.
At the very least, couldn't Ross choose to team with a musical talent has made a hit record this century? Miami is full of them, just watch MTV 2.
Stay tuned for Thursday, as Ross continues to sell off what's left of the tradition of the Dolphins in the name of corporate sponsorship and ticket sales.

How can I encourage her physical development?
- By the time she starts school, your child will usually be clearly right or left handed. Don't try to force her to change as this will only confuse her and may cause a delay in her learning.
- Encourage her fine motor skills by giving her plenty of opportunities to cut, draw and colour-in.
- Play games that involve sorting objects, matching shapes and letters.
- Give her lots of opportunities to enjoy music through singing and dancing.

Scott has saluted Clint Eastwood's appearance last night at the RNC, concluding that it worked. I think it probably did too, and said so at the time. I know that my wife, who is a not a Republican, enjoyed it and saw nothing amiss.
For many in the anti-Obama camp, the inquiry ends with the political calculus. But Eastwood's performance left a slightly sour taste in my mouth.
Eastwood got off some good lines, to be sure. But there was also the suggestion that Mitt Romney thinks we should bring the troops home from Afghanistan tomorrow. That, of course, is far from Romney's position, and far from a sensible one, as reasonable as Eastwood makes it sound.
Maybe it's worth exploiting Eastwood's star power even when it involves misleading the country about a key issue of national defense. But for me, the adage "shut up and act", much loved by conservatives when leftist express anti-war opinions, comes to mind.
Many conservatives would be howling if, it a national convention, an actor had disrespected, in the Eastwood manner, a President of the United States of whom they approve. They will have occasion to howl. The bar was lowered last night. The fact that Eastwood isn't just any actor doesn't change this.
On a lighter note, I recall that in the late 1960s, the comic actor Tony Randall came under attack for participating in an anti-war skit in which he chastised President Johnson. One congressman said, "maybe he can talk that way to Rock Hudson [with whom Randall had co-starred in movies], but he can't talk to the President of the United States like that."
Randall's response was, "I would never talk to Rock like that."

Cost-share programs and best management practices for cattle operations will headline the topics to be discussed at the 2008 Beef and Forage Field Day June 12 on the grounds of the University of Tennessee East Tennessee Research and Education Center - Blount Unit.
Activities will begin with a trade show at 7:30 a.m.
Mike McElroy, district conservationist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will present a keynote presentation on current opportunities for beef cattle producers to enhance their operations.
Two key programs he will discuss include the NRCS cost-share program and best management practices recommended by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture.
Following the keynote presentation, participants will assemble into groups to attend morning sessions that address switchgrass as a potential biofuel as well as forage, using bio-solids on pastures and hay fields, and watering systems for cattle.
Time will be available for all participants to attend each session as well as to visit trade exhibits.
A sponsored lunch will be served at noon for those who pre-register.
Pre-registrations are encouraged by June 6.
Contact a county UT Extension office or call the East Tennessee Research and Education Center at (865) 974-7201.
Following lunch, participants may attend a 45-minute session that will focus on adding value to feeder cattle with process verification programs for age and source. The event will conclude at 2 p.m.
For a second consecutive year, a youth program on beef cattle production will be presented by members of the faculty of the UT Institute of Agriculture. The sessions will feature technical presentations as well as discussions of opportunities available to youth interested in careers related to agriculture and natural resources. Proper academic preparation for college will be covered.
The UT Beef and Forage Field Day is a cooperative effort of the UT Agricultural Research program and the UT Extension Eastern Region. The East Tennessee Research and Education Center in Knoxville is one of 10 research facilities in the statewide UT Agricultural Research system.
The Blount Unit of the East Tennessee Research and Education Center is located on Singleton Station Road, which is approximately 8 miles south of the UT agricultural campus in Knoxville off U.S. Highway 129. If approaching from the south, Singleton Station Road is just over 1 mile north of the intersection of U.S. 129 and I-140 (Pellissippi Parkway).

Whether it's tucked away in the attic or proudly displayed on your mantel, everyone who was in the Boy Scouts of America has a favorite piece of Scouting memorabilia.
Eagle Scout and current Scouter Mark Truax sent us a picture of his favorite item, a Coca-Cola ad promoting the 1937 National Scout Jamboree.
Here's what he said in his note to us:
Dear Scouting magazine,
I fell in love with Scouting when I was in it and have continued in multiple capacities since then.
I have also started collecting Scouting memorabilia that I have come across.
Some time when I was in Scouting, my mom came across a Coke ad for a jamboree, and it hung in their house ever since—likely around 1999 or 2000.
When I was home for this past Thanksgiving I made comments to my parents that I would love to have the picture. For Christmas, they had it reframed and gave it to me.
We think the ad was either in Life magazine or the Mercury Daily News in 1937.
Yours in Scouting,
Mark Truax
Mark, thanks for the letter and for the great image (click on it to see it in a larger size).

NCAH needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 179 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Nursing Careers Allied Health (NCAH)
The NCAH magazine has been in circulation for over 15 years. It started life as 'Nursing Careers' - a magazine promoting employment and education related opportunities for nurses in Australia and New Zealand. Allied Health was subsequently added to create the name NURSING CAREERS ALLIED HEALTH. (Allied Health staff includes professionals such as Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Psychologists, Dietitians, Speech Therapists etc)
With the launch of our website product and the domain name 'ncah.com.au' our name and branding on the magazine was all changed to NCAH. The problem is that 'NCAH' as a brand doesn't mean anything, and while our magazine has excellent product recognition (i.e. when nurses see the cover of our magazine they immediately know what it is the brand name 'NCAH' has very little recognition, and gives no clue as to what we actually offer.
The NCAH product is associated with exciting career opportunities for nurses and allied health professionals. Most nurses perceive the magazine to be the place to go if you're looking for a career adventure, particularly overseas working adventures.
So the challenge with this design project is to build upon and not undermine our product recognition but create a brand and identify that will have meaning across both our magazine and web platforms.
Nurses and allied health professionals in Australia and New Zealand.
Needs to appeal to a range of health professionals both young and old (so not just a Gen Y, but also some conservative nurse types).
Health professionals in Australia / New Zealand as in many places in the world are over-worked, under-paid and we want our brand to be all about presenting exciting career opportunities to them.
This project has three components: logo design, identity design and magazine cover.
Logo Design
The new logo will consist of the phrase: Nursing Careers Allied Health
The new logo:
- could be on two lines, e.g. Nursing Careers, then Allied Health
- 'Careers' may be given emphasis
- may incorporate an icon representing the health field, and the 'career adventure idea'
- domain name ncah.com.au must be an important part of the identify, but may be incorporated into the logo although may be a separate entity.
- must be consistent with new website design (attached), this new logo will be applied to the new website design
The identity design represents the design elements that will represent the NCAH identity across our magazine, website and stationery products.
Will include: logo, any icon, favicon, domain name ncah.com.au plus other design elements that enhance the brand.
The typeface must have a range of weights suitable for various uses.
Magazine Cover
Attached files show examples of the current magazine cover. The cover is 146mm wide by 207mm high
The new magazine cover will present a fresh, reinvigorated brand.
The cover design must incorporate the following elements
- New logo
- Identity elements,
- allowing space for a cover photo of 138mm wide by 88mm
- front cover strip ad with dimensions 135mm wide by 32mm high (see current magazine covers for example)

Kitchen Notes: Curry
Article Digest:
Curry is a general categorization of a type of spicy dish popular all around the world. But when asked to explain what curry is to someone who has never had it, it's surprisingly difficult. Is it a paste, soupy mixture, spice, or powder? Let's see if we can clear it up a bit.
Curry leaves
In the past, the principal herb that seasons curry dishes is the leaf of a curry tree. (There is a different plant called the curry plant which should not be confused with the curry tree from which curry leaves are gathered.) The leaves can be used fresh (although, they don't keep very long), dried (which has a weaker aroma and flavor than fresh), and dried and ground up into a powder. Although the name "curry" comes from curry leaves, many (if not most) curries (the dishes) today do not actually contain curry leaves as a herb.
There are a variety of different curries depending on what region of the world you're in. In fact, there are more forms of curry than I can possibly imagine. I'll try to discuss a few of the types and let others provide their own comments on specific curry variations.
Indian curries
There are probably as many Indian curries as there are Indian villages. The exact mix of spices changes from household to household but almost always starts with the toasting of spices in a pan. Practically any dish that begins with toasted spices can be considered a curry. Traditionally, a common herb used is the curry leaf (which lends its name to the entire classification of prepared foods) but turmeric (providing the familiar yellow), coriander, ginger, garlic, chili, black pepper, and tamarind are just as common to be found in the mix. In fact, so many spices (sometimes more than twenty!) go into the prepared curry that it can be daunting to chef's new to Indian cuisine. Perhaps this is the reason why the British began to prepackage spice mixtures as "curry powder".
Indian curries are typically named after the main ingredient (excluding the spices). For example, potato curries and chicken curries are quite common. In addition, depending on the region, the curry can be a fairly dry dish (like a stir fry), a heavily sauced dish, or everything in between. Some regions utilize coconut while others emphasize ghee (a clarified butter) or dairy cream.
Thai curries
Thai curries usually don't have any curry (the leaves) in them. The cuisine has developed to use ingredients regional to Thailand and is typically identified by color.
Red curry
- a name given to dishes made with red curry paste. Red curry paste is generally formed with red chilies, garlic, lemon grass, shallots, and galangal (Thai ginger) blended with other spices to form a paste.
Green curry
- a name given to dishes made with green curry paste. Green curry paste is usually made in much the same way as red curry, but with green chilies instead. Green curries also tend to have the addition of cumin and coriander.
Yellow curry
- a name given to dishes made with yellow curry paste. Yellow curry paste is similar to green curry paste, but with the addition of turmeric giving it the distinctive yellow color. Of all Thai curries, this is the type of curry most like Indian curry.
Thai curry dishes are usually prepared with meat (for example: beef, pork, duck, fish) and coconut milk.
Japanese curries
Curry is a popular dish in Japan. It is generally served as a thick, gravy-like sauce over rice (and, commonly, a fried pork cutlet is also provided). The sauce is often a dark brown color and often contains potatoes, carrots, and onions. Japanese curry is generally not considered a Japanese dish by the Japanese - instead it is usually classified as a Western food. (It is often more similar to British curries than traditional Indian curries.)
British curries
Although Britain's curries are derived from Indian curries, unless you are dining at a British restaurant specifically intending to provide authentic Indian cuisine, you'll discover dishes very different from their Indian counterparts. In fact, many of the dishes even have names that are the same or similar to Indian dishes - but often the similarity ends there. In general, the curry sauce is of a gravy consistency and have a variety of spices (including turmeric) blended with onion, garlic, and ginger. Most British curries do not contain curry leaves. One notable type of British curry is the Madras curry which uses a relatively large quantity of chili powder. Because of this, some places will use the term Madras to denote a spicier curry.
Curry Powder
So, if curries vary so much (and are essentially dishes prepared with a wide variety of spices), then what's in curry powder? Well that depends. In general, curry powder purchased in most Western stores which is simply labeled "curry powder" is British curry powder. The yellow color is from ground turmeric and often ground coriander seed is added as both a flavorant and a thickener. The rest of the curry powder is a mixture of finely ground spices which can include chilies, cloves, cumin, black pepper, ginger, cinnamon, mustard, fennel seeds, cardamom, and practically any other spice that suits ones fancy. Variations of this powder are used as a base for many forms of curry including not just British but also Japanese, Chinese, and other curries. Indian curry powder can contain over twenty spices and is often made daily and combined with ghee into a paste.
There are so many different curries out there that there's bound to be one you'll find enjoyable. From spicy to mild, coconut milk to ghee, every region has it's own distinctive taste and style. Let's go try a curry you've never had before.

Excellent article yet again. Penzey's has many different curry powder blends and their spices are a better quality than what is available at the grocery store.

Post subject: British curries
Good article. Another aspect of British curries, especially those served in restaurants, is that they can have large amounts of food colourings added. The Tikka Masala from my favourite restaurant has a very bright crimson red sauce for example. From the way it stains a napkin, I really do wonder what it does to my insides!

Post subject: Indian curries
I was taught Indian cooking by an Indian in the UK. Here's a few things I was told...
The term curry comes from the cooking pan used (a karahi) which is somewhat like a wok. It's a common utensil in Indian households and used for many one-pot meal styles (Balti etc.) often being placed on the table as a communal serving dish.
Turmeric is, as you say, basically a coloring - I was told it is used as a cheap alternative to saffron although that is added later.
Toasting spices was something I learned however most dishes started with frying spices in a small amount of hot oil.
You did a good job summarizing Indian cusine - it varies enormously across the sub-continent. Before travelling to India I was most familiar with more "refined" Moghul cooking - creamy sauces, yoghurt, tandoori, meat, naan. I now find Southern cuisine more to my taste - dry sauces, sambhar, vegetables, dosa. This is probably because that's where all my Indian friends drag me when we go to eat!
There are some excellent South Indian restaurants in the SF area btw.

Post subject: Curry base
My understanding of curries is, aside from all what you have included in this article, that the usual base for curry is: gratuitous amount of oil, diced/chopped/miced onion, and garlic. To this admixture one adds any of the typical spices they prefer. I did not know at all about the "curry" leaf, kudos.

Post subject: Simple Recipe For Curry
If you want to curry any vegetable,meat etc.. heat generous amount of oil,add onions,fresh ginger and garlic,fry till they are golden brown,then add the vegetables etc.. ,cook and then add salt and spices to suit your palette.
It's simple to make and delicious too.It is easy to get overwhelmed by the great varieties of curry dishes but adding only the spices you like and not going overboard is the key to a great curry experience.

I've used the leaves before-- they have a mild flavor, and they're small, so lightly chop or bruise them before tossing them in with the frying spices. They also freeze very well, in my experience, since they're small and mostly dry. I found them in an Asian supermarket we're lucky to have in Seattle, in the fridge section, and about $1 bought me more than I'd need if I doubled there
recipe I had for a cook-in curry sauce
(meant to feed 4). It was a handful-- maybe 2-3 packed tablespoons? (Note that Jamie Oliver's produce is much smaller than typical american supermarket produce-- I halved the onion and tomato count.)
Oh, one related tip I heard once-- direct sunlight helps break down the yellow stain of turmeric, so if you have some stained tools and containers after a good yellow indian curry, wash them and put them on the windowsill for a few days. I can't prove it works, but it seemed to. Anyone care to experiment?

Post subject: thai curry called panang
A suggestion to anyone new to thai curries - if you get the chance to use or try a dish with panang curry, you are in for a serious treat. It is very similar to the common red curry, but with a few different ingredients (I believe shrimp paste is one, but I am not sure) and an amazingly tangy(?) flavor.
Mixed with coconut milk , some fish sauce and your protein of choice, served over some jasmine rice with cilantro or kaffir lime leaves... Indescribable.

Good article.
For those who might want to grow curry leaf, they should ask for
Murraya koenigii
. (Curry plant
Helichrysum italicum
is sold in some herb stores and is quite disappointing in comparison to curry leaf.) They are not the easiest plant to grow in colder climates though. They like sun and warmth and of course, have to be overwintered indoors if the night temperatures even vaguely approach freezing. A University of Oklahoma site says that the night temperatures shouldn't go below 18C/65F (Not the easiest plant to find these days - apparently there are restrictions in USA on the imported seeds. Richters in Canada used to sell them but it has been a couple of years since I've seen them listed in the catalogue.)
I was surprised to see a note that curry leaf is not used so much in Thai cooking. I'm by no means an expert, but I though that those were curry leaves I've seen floating around in the green curries at Thai restaurants. Maybe they are kaffir lime leaves?

My guess would be cilantro, aka coriander leaves. It's often an ingredient in Thai cooking, and, being very much like parsley, it is often used to garnish a liquidy dish.
Cilantro is very limp if it's floating in a warm sauce, while lime leaves are waxier and should stay firm if uncooked. But the best way to tell is to smell it, either in your mouth or mash it between your fingers and sniff deeply.

Post subject: Limp Floating Leaves
Kaffir lime leaves are generally not very tender. Unless used as a garnish, they are usually sliced into very thin strips, minced small, or pounded into a paste with other ingredients.
The leaves I normally encounter floating in Thai curry are Thai basil leaves. They have a licorice like flavor that is very unique.

Post subject: Indian curry.
It is interesting reading all the comments and information regarding the Indian Curry and Spices. In one of the letters I find something that I would like to clarify. Quoted "
Turmeric is, as you say, basically a coloring - I was told it is used as a cheap alternative to saffron although that is added later
." Turmeric is a spice by itself. Sometimes it is used as an alternative to saffron which is expensive, but turneric has its own flavour. Turmeric has many medical values and and for one eg. in India turmeric is used as an antiseptic in home remidies, for cuts and wounds. There are many other uses too.

I once heard a story bout origins of Japanese curry, and it claims that Japanese curry indeed was originally British. It harks back to the time when Japanese Navy was first organized, which was done with British assistance. And with many other things Japanese adopted a staple food for sailors, which in that time happened to be a curry rice (ship's biscuit and salted beef probably dropped out of equation somewhere along the road) in a British sense of the word.
Admiralty liked it, because it was relatively inexpensive -- you can save greatly on meat there, cooks liked it because it was easy to make and serve, and sailors liked it, because it was generally better than almost everything they ever had in their lives -- Japanese sailors of the time were generally a conscripts from startlingly poor peasant villages.
So, when the sailors were eventually discharged frome the service, they brought the idea (together with recipe and, most probably, some canned British curry powder) to their home willages and towns, and this is generally how Japanese curry took off.

Comments/Context: Roughly a decade ago, the Ansel Adams at 100 show blanketed the nation, making stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York (along with a few foreign venues as well), and basically set the permanent standard for Adams scholarship. It was a comprehensive, chronological, and exhaustively researched retrospective, with plenty of surprises and treasures. I particularly remember seeing multiple prints of the same iconic images from different decades, showing how Adams' printing style had evolved over time. With this show as a singular example but just one of many great Adams exhibits over the years, it's hard to imagine that there is anything more to say about Adams that hasn't already been said better by someone else previously. And yet, the curators of this small show stepped up to that challenge and tried something radical, their approach bringing an entirely fresh perspective to Adams and his work.
The larger EXPO 1: New York exhibit of which this show is just one module takes on a variety of contemporary environmental and ecological issues and explores how artists are addressing these issues in their work. Adams' passion for environmental preservation and his involvement in the Sierra Club and other organizations is now old hat, so his inclusion in this survey is at first glance an odd and awkward choice; he's not exactly a current voice on climate change or global warming. The interest here comes not from a tired rehashing of his greatest hits, but from an unexpected conceptual what if exercise as posed by the curators. What if we sliced through Adams' prolific career and pulled out specific subjects he returned to again and again? And what if we filtered his whole aesthetic through the mind of the Bechers, paring him back to a documentary exploration of changing natural forms and landscapes? The result is Adams turned into a hard core detail tracker, a conceptual series maker and systematic watcher, and I have to say, it's a fascinating transformation.
This selection of photographs proves that Adams returned again and again to the same subjects, often placing his camera in nearly the very same spot year after year, taking basically the same picture from the same vantage point, the details and atmospheric moods changing through the seasons. Half Dome is alternately decorated with cottonwoods, thunderclouds, and white billowy clouds, while El Capitan is seen at sunrise, in shadow, amid misty winter haze, and set off by the silhouette of a winter tree. It's almost as if he was intent of making typologies, capturing these landscapes in every potential state. The plume of Old Faithful in Yellowstone runs the entire spectrum from white to black (with several intermediate grey steps), while various waterfalls are framed with deadpan clarity, their differences of angle and splash captured with the same precision as a series of Becher water towers. Moons, cliffs, rivers, aspens, firs in snow, every one becomes a set of subject matter motifs, a fugue of theme and variation. Adams' famous surf sequence seems perfectly matched to this way of thinking, a series of images of the same set up, the natural ebb and flow of the white bubbly waves providing the elements of chance and change.
So while nearly all of these pictures will be familiar to most, the way they are presented in this show turns the bombastic natural drama of Adams into just one aspect of a broader and more structured vision. Each image is no longer a virtuoso stand alone performance exactly, but a part of a larger whole, a variant of the underlying reality, or in musical terms, a different way to play the natural score. The hanging points to discipline and organization in his thinking, to his technical prowess channeled into an equally formal way of approaching the land. In a certain way, it makes Adams look much more boldly contemporary than we normally give him credit for. That's an entirely out-of-the-box way to see Adams, and proof positive of some smart curatorial thinking.
Collector's POV: Since this is a museum show, there are, of course, no posted prices. Adams' work is ubiquitous at auction, with dozens of prints and portfolios coming up for sale every season. Given large edition sizes, some of the prints are still very affordable (finding buyers for a few thousand dollars) while large vintage images of iconic works routinely stretch well into six figures (a few as high as $600-700K).
