The suit arrived on time as promised. It looks and feels great. I would absolutely buy from Jo A Banks again. Thanks.
I would buy from this merchant again
By Yiyo el barbaro

The quality of the suit met my expectations. The merchant charged twice for the total and took me several days and phone calls to clear the issue and get the credit back on my credit card.Other than that it was a very enjoyable experience.
I will purchase another suit.

Great suits and customer service
I am a Funeral Director. Joseph suits are very comfortable and seem to be very durable. Can't find a single thing to complain about from customer service to the products I received. Wish I would have tried these suits sooner.
Excellence in a classic suit
By Burt.
from north Florida.
If you can afford only one good suit: This is the one! The dark navy color will be good for any occasion. Great fabric, soft and even, hard to wrinkle. Perfect fit at shoulders and waist, it feels very comfortable and proper. Exquisite attention to all details, and I'm very picky! I'm totally satisfied after all the money I spent getting it!

2 wrongs make a right!!
By DLO
from Seligman Arizona
I ordered two suits that were the wrong size and color, and I returned them using the form that was provided. Shortly after that I received a phone call from a service rep who promptly took a new order. One of my suits is on back order but the communication on that item has been very good. I have had nothing but positive experiences with the Banks!!
By BBig24
from Jackson, MS
Very nice suit; it was delivered very quickly and was just as it appeared on the website. I am, and have always been, very pleased with this company. Off the rack does not get any better
Great Suit and Great Value!
By Onehander
from Fairfield, CT
I purchased two of these suits, one in Navy stripe and one in grey stripe. I wear them for work and feel great in them. They are very professional looking, maintain their shape really well, and are the perfect addition to my wardrobe. I purchased the suits online and they arrived quickly, as ordered. I don't think I could find equal quality for what I paid for these suits.
Very Nice Suit and Excellent Pricing
By Sparkerdude

This is a wonderful suit ... and the pricing made it an outstanding purchase. I wear suits every day and this Signature level quality at the price I obtained combines comfort with a fine presentation at an affordable price.

SamTrans sued by former accountant

This is one reason I support Comprehensive Compliance Reviews and Audits of all departments in the county including the Supervisors.
Why has it taken 11 months for the District Attorney Office to determine if a crime has been committed or not.
Should Steve Wagstaffe have recused himself, because of the Service League of San Mateo County, connection between himself a member and Mike Scanlon the President.
How many days should it take a competent department to determine this?

NBC investigative team has a new story up today. I must say they are really digging into this, and doing it very well.
Web Link
Ackemann says the district hired independent investigator Allison West to review all of La's personnel complaints and sided with the district.
"We're confident in the work of the independent investigator. We believe the findings speak for themselves and we look forward to the opportunity to review them further in court," Ackemann said.
The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit reviewed West's findings and discovered the independent investigator was not asked to review La's claims of fake expenses and improper payments.
Emails from La show that when she tried to bring them to West's attention, she was told "The issue is beyond the scope of my investigation."
"San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe says he is recommending an independent forensic audit on the accounts and transactions highlighted by David Ramires and La, but so far an auditor has not been named."
Keep digging, NBC!

FYI and small world Jayme Ackerman SamTrans spokesperson is County Manager John Maltbie's daughter.
Mike Scanlon's masters degree $43,000 who paid it and law firm expenses 5 times normal need to checked.
Good work NBC 11

And Carole Groom played a big hand in rehiring John Maltbie.
Web Link
Some may recall that Maltbie had a little run in with the law some years back, which was covered extensively by the papers.
That the San Mateo DA's office hasn't recused itself is a disgrace.

Because, in China, they aren't allowed to remember.
42 thoughts on "twenty years ago…"
In China, they aren't allowed to know, either… at least about the existence of this photo.
DUDE! Amazing how one simple sentence can have such a profound affect. I am tearing up and stuff over here.
Pithy & succinct, Wil. Well done.
well done, sir.
Many web sites are complicit in filtering web searches and sites that have any Anti Governmental information in China.
Either China's government is an enemy of our Country or we are their slave. Both are terrible outcomes and we are too lazy to grow a pair.
Our leaders must revoke the favorite trade status of China and protect this country from the digital and literal poison of Chinese Exports.
Like Sarah K. Silverman once said "I love ch*nks"
@mikebellman on Twitter
It's always the year zero, isn't it?
God, I remember this like it was yesterday. It was the most incomprehensible thing that I'd ever witnessed at that age. 20 years later, it's still incomprehensible to me.
Jules, you're absolutely right about how one sentence can completely move you to tears.
I worked with a graduate student who was from China and was about 5 or 6 when this happened. She had not only never seen this photo before coming here for school, she'd actually NEVER heard of the protests or the massacre. Like, in her history, it had not happened. I just remember asking "what do you mean, what Tiananmen Square Massacre???"
Excellent job Wil, I hadn't realized it was 20 years already. In my opinion it seems the fight for basic human rights and freedoms has really taken quite a few blows lately, even in our own country. It's good to pause and remember.
I agree with @Jules. A simple sentence but quite powerful.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." – George Santayana
Thank you very much for your post. They are not allowed to remember, mourn, or even really know what happened. Our generation (well, mine and yours, since I'm older) need to remember it for them. We also need to mourn their loss as well.
thank you Wil.
The NYTimes Lens blog has an interesting post with comments from the five photographers who shot this scene.
I've been thinking about this photo for the past couple days… I was a college student at the time and remember seeing the video footage on the news – so haunting.
Nice irony: the name of the street in the photo? The Boulevard of Eternal Peace.
10 years ago, almost to the day, I stood in that very square remembering what had taken place there.
I was born 15 days after this picture was taken. It's always bothered me that my contemporaries in China have no idea this happened. But then also, as a student of History I am always bothered by historical censorship.
Thanks for reminding us that this happened Wil.
Today's NY Times Lens blog had a never-before-seen picture of Tank Man, taken from ground level: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/behind-the-scenes-a-new-angle-on-history/
I subbed it to Fark but it got redlit. Too bad.
Wil Twenty years ago I was 34, I was still in the military and thought to myself then as I do now, when the whole world understands personal freedom, will we even be around to enjoy it….When they is better then a thousand words, this is the picture they are talking about… We live in a country were may of us sometimes forget the freedoms that we have and that includes me, Stand back and look at this photograph…It is sad but it is also a wake up call to all of us. Thank you Wil for remembering and thank you for making me remember!
You know what I just realized since for me I am having a hard time believing it has already been 20 years. I don't think my boys have any knowledge of this. They are growing up in the 9/11 era. I will have to correct this
Yes, sir.
Say, wasn't it also 20 years ago that dude said we'd reached 'the end of history'? What was his name? Ah well, lost to, uh, history, I guess!
Thank you for sharing it.
As much as we can whine and bitch about how President George Bush, Sr. got us into a war with Iraq, and his son pushed American troops back into Iraq, and it seems at times that America is at war with itself, it's important to remember that our tanks and soldiers aren't pointing their weapons at their own citizens and in America, and joining the military is a voluntary decision in America. Also being Pro-life is a CHOICE, not a government directive. We should also bear in mind that 40 years ago in America, a bunch of students marched on university campuses and rioted and caused destruction over our military actions in Vietnam… a stark contrast to a peaceful demonstration 20 years ago in Tienanmen Square where innocent civilians were butchered by their own government. Unfortunately, many of us don't appreciate our personal liberties or value or freedom until we witness others having it stripped from them.
Respectfully speaking….
The replies on this post are so typical of people in the West. Completely disconnected and at least 10 years behind what's really going on in the world. There are human rights atrocities happening everyday, a war some are calling illegal, governments all over the place brutally silencing dissent. Just because there aren't photo opp moments doesn't mean they're not happening.
I am happy to commemorate the day, but even today in China they're still civil rights issues, free speech issues.. why focus on this one incident that happened a lifetime ago??
Well, 20 years ago, I was graduating kindergarten. Is it a bad thing that I don't remember. But, I did look it up on Wikipedia. Wow, 20 years ago was a big deal in China. It's really too bad they're not allowed to remember it. Lots of protesting, death and mayhem. Then, that was all erased from the books and newspapers and film. I'm surprised this picture even exists. You better watch your back, Wil Wheaton.
The more I keep up with your blog on here, the more I appreciate you. It's posts like this that moves you. Thanks for the reminder.
I do not think that is the intent Wil's blog at all. Just because something happened "a lifetime ago" doesn't make it any less relavent. You need to remember those life times ago in able to access where are we now. What have we done since then or did we just forget and move on?
There are many movements happening that deal with what you have mentioned. Some new ones have started within the last week. Does not mean we act as if the past did not happen. It is all connected.
Not to contradict, but how did these people do this if they're "not allowed:"
Also, I have recently had the opportunity to spend time in Shanghai. That city is not Communist. In a lot of ways (smoking in public, smoking in restaurants, er, crossing streets) they are far more free than Americans are.
Now, there is a lack of freedom of speech in particular in electronic communication. But day to day, they live much like Americans do… except Shanghai is noisier (honking horns FTW), dirtier (smoggy air/dingy streets to make LA look like it sparkles), and more crowded (20 MM people in a city smaller than LA). Plus every street has vendors… 😉
That article speaks of a candlelight vigil in Hong Kong, which is still autonomous and free — not mainland China.
dh has a black and white print of this on his office wall. it's amazing how one image can convey so many different things.
And at virtually the same time we have our president appeasing, placating, and otherwise acting as King Apologist for another thuggish, despotic, humanitarian train wreck area of the world…
I hate to rain on the parade, but a friend of mine lives on mainland and the general rule is that it is not discussed in class rooms or in public areas. People in cities know, it's nearly impossible for them not to. It's the rural areas that don't.
Regardless, the fact that the government has it buried in formal education is depressing. Those students could potentially have over turned the Chinese political system. Many soldiers and generals actually refused to support the party leaders orders. Truly a shame.
Some sites – in a subtle protest against the govt – are calling it "China Internet Maintenance Day"
Yes. One image. The one that settles over my thoughts, on this same subject, is the one where a protester in a polo-neck sweater is placing a flower into othe gun of one of the GI's guarding the pentagon (I think). Are you going to San Francisco ?
I'm an American visiting China for a conference this week, and I went down to Tiananmen yesterday to see how they were going to handle the anniversary.
I was briefly detained by police because I was crossing the street too close to a few journalists, but it was clear soon enough that I was just a clueless American tourist and they let me go. Lots of crazy security (needed a passport to get into the square itself) and most of the people there were police, military, or plain-clothes police.
I took some photos – and unlike one of the other professors at the conference who was forced to delete hers in front of the police because they didn't like them – I emailed a few of mine to my husband (since Flickr is still blocked here).
I can't even view them from here, but these are 2 that I took yesterday around 2pm).
It's not just that they are not allowed to remember.
There are many people within China who do remember, and choose to ignore it. Or to think it's not as important as being able to buy the latest high-tech gadgets, or take pride in China's Olympic Games.
That's the important lesson here. The danger of apathy.
When your populace is apathetic, the government can (and will) get away with murder on a grand scale.
So America? Yeah…
"it's important to remember that our tanks and soldiers aren't pointing their weapons at their own citizens"
"We should also bear in mind that 40 years ago in America, a bunch of students marched on university campuses and rioted and caused destruction over our military actions in Vietnam…"
No, what you should remember is that a peaceful demonstration at Kent university was broken up by the National Guard, who shot and killed some protestors.
No-one was ever held accountable for those murders.
*That* was responsible for a lot of other, less peaceful demonstrations.
"a stark contrast to a peaceful demonstration 20 years ago in Tienanmen Square where innocent civilians were butchered by their own government."
No, not really different at all. The only difference was in how the respective governments reacted to the butchery.
"Unfortunately, many of us don't appreciate our personal liberties or value or freedom until we witness others having it stripped from them."
And sadly, many people find the thought of people using their freedoms (of speech and free-assembly) to protest the actions of their government, somehow treasonable and wrong.
Freedom to speak means nothing, if you're only allowed to say what everyone agrees with.
Respectfully speaking, there are thousands of people everyday who are bullied, harassed, victimized, abused, shot at, stabbed, bludgeoned, raped or murdered either because they were or were not in the right place at the right time.
The significance of this incident is that this was a peaceful demonstration against government policies, against tyrants who've oppressed their own citizens for decades, and in one defiant moment of selflessness, a lone student stood against an army of military vehicles equipped to decimate towns to slow them down and keep them from chasing down and killing countless of other protesters.
20 years ago isn't a lifetime ago… maybe 200 years. This incident is as historically significant as the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. or the attack of the Soviet Army on the people of Afghanistan or the brutality of the Somalian pirates who take hostages and murder the innocent. These events are important because our children and our spouses, our friends and family who were too young to witness or understand these events need to be taught the reasons why they happened. Without prevention, genocides occur; whole populations of people have been rounded up and shipped around or have been butchered because of their ethnicity and beliefs… Native Americans, African, Arabs, Asians, Polish. Slovene and Jews have suffered at the hands of tyrants. It's important to remember these events and teach our children these events so that they understand the danger in complacency and racism and to take pride in their own ethnicity as well as embrace and understand the ethnicity and beliefs of others.
On September 11, 2001 the United States became the victim of terrorism by murderers who were acting on blind faith. The people of the United States reacted violently and angrily against the forces who were training these men because the nation had become lazy and let our guard down against those who prey on the innocent.
Shielding our children from the harsh realities of war is one thing, they should not be burdened to know the inhumanity that people are subjected to in times of war. However, children need to be educated as to the reasons that cause wars to occur and have a good sense of moral reasoning to discriminate what the difference is between a just cause and an unjust conflict.
So I guess it's typical western behavior to forget that such atrocities occur and to criticize or ridicule those who speak about the past because we're not focused on the atrocities in the present… or perhaps it's merely the typical behavior of those who enjoy the safety and protection that their government affords them. I'd say it's more likely that the truly ignorant don't understand that there are still places in the world where media loudmouths like Reverend Al Sharpton and Rush Limbaugh would be imprisoned for criticizing their government and people like ourselves wouldn't be reading this because it would be suppressed as well.
Keep that in mind the next time you pass a veteran who can't find a job and is asking for help on the street, even though his government promised to support him when he came home from service overseas in the name of liberty and fought a just cause. Ask him or her how they served and what happened, and listen to their stories. Even if you don't understand their anger, try to understand their frustration.
The last reason that anyone wants to hear is "Because said nothing and I did nothing about it."
Three words for you, Wil: Nail. Head. BANG.
(Of course, we in the U.S. are never going to do anything about this, as we're too dependent on the Chinese ponying up money to cover our government's deficit spending. And Barack Hussein Obama is only making our need for China's money worse…far worse than any previous President. Chew on that, Democrat voters.)
Just the words, "Tianenmen Square" bring me back to that horrible, horrible moment. We were 20-something Christian-college kids, braving the amazing adventure of studying in Guadalajara, Mexico. Our prof had taken us for a side trip to Mexico City, and we'd just gotten out from our Sunday morning church service. I'd developed a fondness for TIME International edition, and made everyone stop by the newsstand so I could get my fix.
There it was. The photo. The news. The terrifying "How can ANYONE be doing this to another human being?" moment.
… the more I remembered, the more it became not so much a comment on your blog as an entry for my own, so here:
A good friend of mine was there. She was nearly killed. She showed me (and a number of our friends) the shoe she was wearing that a tank crushed – it had slipped off her foot 3 steps earlier. I have no clue how she got it out of the country
Are you familiar with the Roger Waters song "Watching TV"? You should give it a listen (and ignore the endless Pink Floyd vs. Waters debate below it):
A couple of years after this incident I became friends with a college girl from China who claimed to have been in Tienanmen Square that day. She told me that she heard no gunshots. Saw no ambulances. Was hassled by no police officers. And claimed that the story we were told was *invented* by American journalists.
She was a very bright girl with nothing to gain by lying. She agreed that her government would act to conceal this sort of news if it had happened, but she was certain that the protests went off peacefully. The government couldn't hide the truth if she was there to witness it all…
Yet, we know it happened. Here in the States, half a world away, we can read reports of people who were there and we can see the photos taken (like that of the heroic Tank Man). It's difficult for me to fathom a major, and very public, story like this being hidden from the people of this country. It's kinda like the way Russia kept the Chernobyl incident under wraps from its own people for so long. Just incredible.
But for someone who was actually there to deny the events? I'm still baffled by that to this day.
I believe that my experience is relevant to this. I too remember the events on that day in China, however, I believe that if we do not defend liberty, China of that era, shall become a reality for this era here. Wil, I was recently banned from a usa based website (trekspace) for having an opinion. I am an artist designer, one who created an interesting cpu graphics program. It has not sold as well as i would have liked, however, it is just a hobby of mine to dabble in such things. i come from a family of academics and show business people. My brother has worked with Patrick before in a guest position on a production. Sadly none of this was known to the people on Trek space. A member of that site asked me in my blog, one in which I only had 3 post so far. She asked me about how there has been a decline in people's interest and respect for the arts. She also related this to gene's vision for a future in which humanity prospered as a result of creative cultivation as opposed to stagnation. As a writer Wil I know that you are well aware of how opinions can influence people. And I know that you have probrobly had your share of harsh critics over the years as well as people who agreed with you too. Its all about communication and constructive criticism, dialog and debate. How all of this relates to the Chinese protest is that, I have seen in the usa a growing trend of intolerance to opinion. Where people are reactionary and lash out emotionally when they feel that another person does not share their views. The commentary I made in my blog was nothing short of mild debate about the importance of preserving art and the individual's right to self produce materials that reflect an individual perspective on life and art and music. I even quoted Gene a few times and went back to his belief that diversity was essential to the well being and evolution and preservation of culture. However, as it may be, despite my discussion with the woman who was indeed agreeing with my opinion. The moderator of that site 'Borg Jen', attacked me with an ugly post suggesting that my commentary was a result of my level of disgruntlement over the fact that my star trek influenced graphics program has not sold (yet). (I have only had it out less than 2 weeks by the way) When I replied to her constructively and expressed to her that she was behaiving immaturely and missed the point of my commentary completely, yet choosing to focus on the first sentence of my paragraph. In which I said that my program had not sold. She lashed out again and banned me from the site completely. Realize that I started to trouble, nor did I pick fights or present anything that could be considered derogatory. Anyhow, my point is that, this is where it all begins. When you idiotic, immature people in positions power. They can not help but to use that power to subdue opinion. China's system began somewhere too. And as you have a total and complete breakdown in communication, education, diversity to an extent. And a lack of appreciation and cultivation of the arts in a way in which the diversity of the arts is presented. Where every one has a voice and a wide variety of opinions and perspectives are presented. You then have sort of a degeneration. You have a singular sort of culture where anything that is not endorsed by the corporation or in the case of China, the 'state', becomes suspect. And you have people who are readily available to act out their need to control and serve a system of repression and oppression. It is happening here in America. Slowly but surely . it is in these small instances of a greater fabric is being sewn. We too could one day wake up to a USA where unpopular opinion or opinion in general is outlawed. And the enforcer will be people like that moderator. So willingly ready to ban and censor anything that they personally disagree with. If even that. Jealousy runs hard in people's hearts these days and the end result of jealousy is hate. As an actor Wil I know that you have come across many haters in your career who have disliked you because you worked hard and obtained your goals. However in the 80's such could be seen as a fact of life. However, now, it is a reaction to anything that is different. Or unique. Such things are the building blocks of future conflict. As my dad used to say, there would come a time when there would be a series of Mini Hitlers. Technology though it offers individuals the power to free their minds, it too has the power to give a nothing the power to dictate too. The spread of hate and oppression comes over the net too. For good or for evil. It is up to humanity to decide which way. Though i nthe case of Trek Space, they are certainly bent on control. it is quite sad because it goes against everything that Gene stood for. he certainly seemed like a man of ideas. No matter popular or unpopular. I think that listening to alternative opinions or viewing alternative forms of art truly for him was the key to the growth of everyone. And whay shy away from debate, even if some things make us uncomfortable. It is that maturity to engage those things that may not make us feel safe or secure that opens the door for genuine discussion. thought and opinion can not be placed into a box and locked away. With only a screen to allow for those ideas that make people feel safe. What are we becoming? The lessons of China should influence us all. To be weary of just how easily that sort of change can come to pass. And how easy it is for society to fall into the grip of oppression.
Please be well my friend.
I greatly appreciated your characters in film and tv man.

Business cards are a crucial part of doing business and presenting oneself professionally.
They are used internationally for exchanging contact information, developing networks, and maintaining professional relationships. When transitioning abroad, it is important to know that there are regional differences in both the content details and very importantly, in the etiquette of their usage.
In Africa in general, business cards typically display a company's name, logo, and webpage (if applicable), in addition to the name, position title, academic title, and contact details (such as business address, telephone number, fax, and email address) of the holder. The biggest difference among business card content in the various African countries' is the acceptance of the use of professional titles when a person is not yet employed. Please make sure to check on the individual specifications for business cards in the country you are traveling to or living in. Also, be sure to check the local custom for exchanging cards.
In South Africa, exchanging business cards is a common practice, but there is little ceremony involved. Most cards are exchanged during introductions and initial conversation. Be sure to treat the cards you receive with respect and to store them properly, in a case or folder rather than in a pocket. Commenting briefly on the card is also polite. Business cards in South Africa can include a personal e-mail address, and cell phone or fax number and should be written in English. Many print shops are available to design or print your business cards locally.
In Kenya, business culture is flexible when it comes to the exchange of business cards. Cards can be exchanged during initial greetings or when parting. However, it may be a good idea to offer one's business card upon meeting, especially at larger functions where people may leave without notice. Remember to offer and receive a business card with both hands or with the right hand. Avoid accepting the card with only the left hand. In Kenya, it is customary to exclude the home telephone numbers and physical addresses on the card. It is acceptable to give yourself a professional title, even if you are not yet employed. The business card should be written in English only. It is easy to have business cards printed in Kenya.
In Nigeria, the more business cards you circulate to prospective employers, the higher your chances of being contacted about job vacancies. Business cards should generally be exchanged upon meeting, and should be accompanied by a handshake. Remember to offer and receive a business card with your right hand and to study it before putting it away. Business cards should be printed in the official language, which is English. Academic titles are very important in Nigeria, and should always be included if you have one. It is possible to have business cards printed in Nigeria.
Business cards in Angola are typically exchanged upon an initial introduction. They essentially contain the same information as Western-style cards but it is not acceptable to give yourself a professional title that reflects your career field if you are not yet employed. If you are not with a company that will provide you with business cards, it is best to have cards made ahead of time. Ideally, the cards should be written in Portuguese and English, either with both languages on one side, or with one language on either side. Both formats are common.
Business cards in Zambia are extremely important; they validate the holder as a serious professional. Cards are exchanged during meetings and other social functions. Business cards should always be in English and one-sided. It is acceptable to give yourself a professional title even if not yet employed. They are easily printed in Zambia.
Business cards in Ghana and are normally exchanged when people are meeting or parting. They are also commonly referred to as call cards. It is acceptable to give yourself a professional title before securing employment, as long as it relates to your skills and academic background. The business card should be written in English only. It is easy to have business cards printed in Ghana.
Business cards are important to have when working or looking for work in Côte d'Ivoire. It is generally unwise to list a professional title for yourself if you are currently unemployed. The official language of Côte d'Ivoire is French, but it is acceptable to have dual sided business cards in English and French. Quality business cards can be purchased in Côte d'Ivoire.
In Ethiopia, people exchange business cards after greetings or during meetings and professional encounters. Business cards are exchanged without any formal protocol. Make sure you present and receive business cards with the right hand only or with both hands. Some people working in international institutions or multinational companies have two-sided cards, one side in Amharic and the other in the main language used in his or her business endeavors. The same information is on both sides. Translating cards into Amharic may not always be necessary but would certainly impress recipients and show respect to those you wish to do business with.
Business cards in Egypt are very common. Business professionals, store owners, clerks, and taxi drivers often use them. As business in Egypt is primarily based on initial appearances, having a business card is a way to provide credibility to yourself and to the business that you are representing. Business cards in Egypt can be exchanged at any time. Often cards are exchanged when the conversation turns to how to contact that individual, not necessarily during initial introductions. When you receive a business card, be sure to study it carefully. Take the time to read the card, not just stick it into your business card holder. Ask questions such as the best time to call at the listed phone number. When you are handing out business cards, do so in a way that ensures it can be read as you are handing it over. Business cards in Egypt include the standard content found on western cards, however it is not uncommon to add more information. Having your business card translated into Arabic conveys a respect of the local culture and will be greatly appreciated by professionals in Egypt. Business cards should be printed in English on one side, and Arabic on the other. It is not difficult to print business cards in Egypt; however, printing out business cards prior to your arrival will ensure that you have a supply until you find a reliable print shop. Oftentimes your employer will take care of printing out business cards for you.

Modified Mustangs & FordsHow To Wheels Tires
CPP's Big Brake Kit - Tubular Tutorial Part II
Bring up the rear with a simple and affordable handling and braking package from Classic Performance Products
Last month, we introduced you to the Mini Sub-Frame Kit and integral worm-and-sector Series 400 power steering from Classic Performance Products (CPP). We also showed you how easy it is to get into better handling without getting into big expense. This month, we're going to show you how to make your suspension and braking system first rate with high-performance disc brakes in all four corners, along with mild rear suspension modifications you can make happen in a matter of hours in your home garage or driveway.
Better Braking
Improvements to handling make little sense if you don't have the braking necessary to support the increased handling capability and power. CPP's Big Brake Kit for the 8- and 9-inch Ford rear ends complement the better contact patch and the Mini Sub-Frame suspension already installed on Godwin Osifeso's '67 Mustang fastback. In front, CPP is installing the Big Brake Kit sporting super-sized 13-inch cross-drilled, gas slotted, and zinc-coated rotors mounted on upsized '70-up Ford spindles with twin-piston, heavy-duty powdercoated calipers clamping down. The bigger rotors offer a greater friction surface area giving these binders 60-percent greater bite according to CPP. You're going to need 17-inch wheels to clear these discs and calipers, and CPP has an easy-to-use wheel template designed to help you make an educated decision if you need to upgrade your wheels or just need to ensure fitment on your current ones.
At the back of the car, we're installing CPP disc brakes, and the nice thing about this brake kit is if you have an 8-inch Ford axle and plan on upgrading to a 9-inch, you can transfer these brakes to the 9-inch without fitment concerns.
The Cotter Pin
There are a number of schools of thought about how to proper install a cotter pin. However, there is but one right way. Cotter pins have two parts—the long leg and the short leg. The long leg wraps over the stud or bolt end as shown. The short leg gets cut short and hammered down to stay in place, secure the nut, and to prevent injury. Never wrap both legs over the stud or bolt end, nor around the nut's perimeter.

Phoenix Suns
Suns' Babby: 'The progress that we made is palpable and tangible'
The Phoenix Suns wanted to make the playoffs.
"We wanted it for ourselves, we wanted it for the community, we wanted it for our fans, we wanted it for ownership," president of basketball operations Lon Babby told the Dan Bickley Show with Vince Marotta on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Thursday. "Because our goal is to be elite, and by that I mean compete for championships.
"And if you don't make the tournament you can't compete for the championship, and so any year you don't get into that spot there's a measure of disappointment."
But that doesn't mean the season, as a whole, was a disappointment. In fact, the 2013-14 Suns were anything but, surpassing all reasonable preseason expectations and coming within a game of a playoff spot in the ultra competitive Western Conference.
It was a season that restored the Suns as an entertaining team and a must-watch product, which is something that had been lost over the previous few seasons.
But the trick now will be to move forward. As fun as it was to have this team, it is now done. Some players will go and new ones will replace them, all with the goal of getting the Suns from 48-win team that just missed the playoffs to one that not only makes it into the postseason, but can produce a deep run.
"I think the sum was greater than the parts this year and that was wonderful," Babby said. "But when expectations change and circumstances change you may not be able to count on that again. We have to get better individually and as a group."
As Babby went on to point out, the Suns are in great position to do exactly that.
"We've got a lot of great assets, I don't think anybody is in better position than we are in terms of draft choices and cap room," he said. "And now our job is to convert that into wins."
But that's for the future. For now, the Suns did enough this season to restore some faith in a franchise that had appeared to lose that after a few down seasons, including last season's 25-win campaign.
"I think the progress that we made is palpable and tangible, not the least of which is rebuilding trust in the Suns organization externally, throughout the NBA," he said. "But much, much more importantly to me, within the Phoenix community. And even more important than that, within the walls of this building where we all come to work every day.
"I think we have been able to make so much progress that people believe in us again, believe in our front office, believe in our coaches, believe in our players. We all believe in each other, and that's the progress that I knew we had to accomplish this year and we've done that."

President Michel Sleiman arrives at the National Dialogue session held at Baabda Palace, Lebanon, on Monday, June 11, 2012. (The Daily Star/Mohammad Azakir)
BEIRUT: President Michel Sleiman urged rival members of the National Dialogue Committee Saturday to back down on their stances vis-a-vis the multi-party talks and called on them to place Lebanon's interests above all others.
"[He] urged that rival parties abandon their stances, whether concerning the refusal on [discussing] the primary and sole subject on the agenda [national defense strategy] or that this issue be decided [even] before it is discussed during the meeting," Sleiman said, according to a statement from his office, apparently referring to Hezbollah and the March 14 coalition respective stances.
Two National Dialogue sessions have been held since Sleiman re-launched them in June. One scheduled for July 24 was thrown into doubt this week after Hezbollah MP Mohammad Raad said it was premature to hold any talks on the topic of a national defense strategy before a total liberation from Israeli occupation. Hezbollah's stance in turn prompted the opposition group to boycott the talks.
Sources told The Daily Star Friday that Sleiman is engaging in discussions with politicians from the March 14 camp, in a bid to convince them to attend Tuesday's meeting, but has no intention of postponing or canceling the session.
In his statement Saturday, Sleima said rival parties needed to place Lebanon's higher interests first and to work toward upholding its dissociation policy towards developments in Syria.
"Sleiman called on political leaders, particularly those among the National Dialogue Committee, to consider the nation's higher interests before any others and to work toward safeguarding civil peace to maintain the country's dissociation policy from the repercussions of what is occurring in our environs," the statement said.
Sleiman described the National Dialogue Committee as a "political and security umbrella given the current situation" and said parties needed to hold talks with "open hearts and minds on all matters of dispute."
The president said that the "Lebanese experience as well of those around it demonstrate that there is no alternative to dialogue among the main political parties to reach solutions to the proposed issues."
Sleiman expressed hope that the rival groups would take into consideration the "existing information, meet and hold talks in the interest of Lebanon and the Lebanese, and that the prevailing stability situation should provide an incentive to work toward maintaining and solidifying it."

A normal day in the office nearly ended in disaster for a Marondera taxi driver when his passenger attempted to kill him using a drink laced with rat poison.
Petros Gukwe (24) of Ashly Village in Shamva, was last Wednesday slapped with a six-year prison sentence by Marondera magistrate, Mavis Kudumba, after he pleaded guilty to attempted murder as defined in Section 47 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act Chapter 9;23. Two years of the sentence were suspended for four years.
Prosecutor Mrs Angeline Sithole told the court that at around 5pm on November 4, Gukwe hired Phillip Paradzai Chinhire to drive him to the Bridge Road turn-off near Watershed College.
After agreeing on the payment, Gukwe is said to have gone away for some minutes only to come back with two 500ml bottles of orange drink which he asked Chinhire to store in the car. He went away for the second time and when he came back after 30minutes, he gave Chinhire one of the drinks and told him to proceed with the journey.
Sensing danger the suspicious Chinhire drove to Marondera CID where he reported his concerns prompting the detectives to question Gukwe. While police were questioning him, the taxi driver took a sip of the orange drink but realised that it had a bitter taste forcing him to alert the police.
Some black granules of the highly lethal rodent poison were discovered on the bottom of the drink. Upon being questioned, Gukwe admitted that he had laced the taxi driver's drink with rat poison.
Chinhire was treated at Marondera Provincial Hospital. Queried why he wanted to kill the taxi driver, Gukwe said he intended to rob him of his vehicle.
Passing sentence, the magistrate noted that this was a serious offence that could have resulted in loss of life had it not been for Chinhire's suspicions.

Used this a little just to see how it looks.. looks great and works great, nice and easy to use..
Another great mod from 'Blakeace'
Thank you..
Used this a little just to see how it looks.. looks great and works great, nice and easy to use..
Another great mod from 'Blakeace'
Thank you..
It also works well with I44 and other third party addons that include artillery pieces(At least for the Takistani Special Brigade Units)
(That, or the dumb bloke would stand there with his binocs while 5.56 rounds turned him into swiss cheese. Lost a lot of good spotters that way...)
Though, I think I got that particular bit figured out- I had set the FO as "Setcaptive true" for my initial tests, so that might have interfered with my results. When it was off, he called in strikes, so I think any problems on my part are just testing woes; functionally speaking, the module seems to work very well.
Haven't tested with MLRS's, yet, but I'll let you know if anything pops up.
Also, just in case I'm coming off as nitpicky, here, I'm not trying to be, I just though you'd be interested in hearing some of my personal experiences as input. I'm FAR too in love with this addon to have anything but praise!
So thank you very much for taking the time to help test it .
Yeah, I was thinking that, too, but this fellow would never call a fire mission to begin with, he just started shooting from the get-go. I also tried to see if it was because, perhaps, he considered his targets not to be enough of a threat to justify using the big guns (M119s, in this case), so I first added a few other squads of opposing infantry to the first group of enemies, which did nothing, then I moved them back a bit, which... also did nothing, then I added a few bradleys and disabled setcaptive, which seemed to do it. That's why I figured it was the setcaptive command that was messing with the system, as it seems a little too "clever" of Arma II's AI to be able to consider force size AND call in the requisite artillery for the situation.
'Course, I've been surprised by the AI before, so... maybe it has something to do with the types of enemies the FO is facing? Like, maybe they won't call in cannons and rockets if they're up against just infantry?
I'm running ASR AI Skills and DAP's wounding scripts, mind you, but I don't see how either could interfere, since it's rather clear to me that the FO is not exactly hesitant about calling in strikes.
(He's just not quite as... generous with them as I'd have thought.)
In fact, with what you've said, I'd imagine the added view distance and engagement ranges would be helpful for an AI spotter.
Ah, good, good. I just worry that I come off that way sometimes. Having conversations through the web can be a pain like that.
And, I'm really glad to hear that! I can't promise I'm one of the "think outside the box" sorts, as my editor usage is pretty much limited to quick skirmishes and photo shoots, but if there's anything I can do about a game, it's over-analyze!
EDIT- Ah- Well, three observations; One, it seems like one of my biggest problems was simply range. These guns are VERY finicky about where you put 'em, so... I can see why you put that warning in about it. I think my problem is that I have no way to gauge their range from their target besides tweaking and tweaking their placement until they're right where they should be. The second, I was wrong about target composition, with ranging and the setcaptive thing sorted, these guys are almost TOO eager to fire... not that I'm complaining! Let the rounds fill the sky!
Anywho, thirdly, I played with the MLRS (no tries with the Grad, yet) and... yeah, the dispersion is a bit wide, so much so that I had friendly troops roughly 200-300 meters away being wounded and killed by the barrage. I don't think any sane commander would allow a fire mission from such a powerful weapon at ranges like that, mind you, but if you were to make the accuracy any tighter, then it would probably be WAY too powerful, even against a maneuvering enemy. I know it's up to the mission-maker to decide if such a damaging asset is even brought into play, but from what I can tell, there's a pretty equal number of upsides and downsides to the current dispersion values.

A side note, since I created the video I reduced the max speed to target, which means there is a smaller chance that moving vehicles will be engaged. It is a balance between them not firing and leading a target to an unrealistic assumption in that the vehicle can do many things between calling the mission and the impact of the rounds.
Yeah, I get you, there. When it comes to the default weapons, all you really need is a mortar battery in most situations. It also helps that they're the easiest to place.
A ranging algorithm would be a godsend. That, or some way of determining the distance between two units on the 2d map. There's probably some sort of reference grid already built into the map itself, but I'm pretty much a moron when it comes to math, so I haven't figured it out, yet.
Oh, yeah, I've got a few ideas myself for the big guns, mainly for ambiance, as you said. Though, my approach to the problem of accuracy is... a bit different.
I think it essential to testing that I... see if that works.Code:this setvariable ["Size_Group",38,false];
With Grads.
On Zargabad.
Pyromaniac? Who's a pyromaniac?
Great job on this addon. Tried a simple mission with a marksman as the FO. Once he spotted the enemy rounds were inbound. He was doing a bit of a dance to figure out what stance he wanted to use. He had binos, would pull them out then put them away go prone with no weapon, the revert back to his weapon. Nothing major. The new patches are making the AI very smart now. They wont just run across open fields anymore, they advance with cover. Two suggestions.
1. Possible to make the spotter dependent on a having a piece of gear to be able to spot. If he loses his radio he cant spot.
2. Possible to make a script version so all those servers out there wont flip out because they have to add an addon.
Keep up the great work.
Just played with it some more. Had a 5 man fire team advancing with and observer with them. As they advanced the arty rounds advanced with them. Pretty awesome stuff. One last thing that would be great. Instead of placing a module that creates arty, allow us to place the arty on the map then tie the module to them.

I am also going to look at creating some object variables that allow designers to overide things like friendly units distance, and max speed of unit before not targeting.
Otherwise armed aren't to bad in they lose their weapon, but I didn't like that there was no way for an observant player to be able to go hey he's acting funny or something when they are unarmed civilians.
2. There is http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id...AI%2BFRAMEWORK already which this is based on. The only real differences are units are no longer restricted to east and west sides, I have slightly improved the lead algorithm and the FO's don't become unarmed either. Though it is no way near as easy to use. Which is why I created this one. I might look at something like that in the future, but at the moment I am focusing on a few other things some already made public, and a couple I am still trying to find time to package up.

It may come as some shock to you, but I generally play alone. XD
(And 38 Grads? Totally work. I'm hell-bent on upping the ante until it doesn't!)
Debug mode, eh? Nifty! At this rate, I might have to start designing actual missions.
You know, having one guy in your squad as the designated "spotter" makes for a great layer of added detail; as long as the guy lives, you've got a lot of firepower at your disposal, yet it's not terribly unbalanced because you've not got that human level of precision in where and when the shots are called. I'm loving the emergent benefits of such a simple system.

I had a word with the UK's top hairdressers to get their tips on what is big for blondes in 2009.
"Always a popular colour for spring/summer, not surprisingly this season we will see an emphasis on blondes. However, there will be a definite move away from last season's grey silver slate blondes and a move towards vanilla, champagne and milk white tones through to sand, cinnamon and sandalwood shades. Embracing a cleaner palette, blondes will be brighter and more eye-catching. The emphasis is on a clean, pure result with translucent, dazzling colour. Working to complement fashion trends for spring/summer 09, more creative work will see blondes infused with accents of soft pastel tones merged together for a seamless result. With a big nod to the 80's and a kaleidoscope of colours dominating the catwalks, build interest by using pastel tones such as rose, dusty lilac and lemon to enhance blondes."Christel Lundqvist, Head Technical Educator for hob salons & academy
"Blondes this year are taking two directions. Firstly, strong ash blondes of an all over nature are very on trend; looking clean and shiny is the key to wearing it well, but it's a look best kept to pale, creamy complexions and if the natural hair is not too dark as seen on Agyness Deyn. Warmer tones are also out there working it, the soft thread-like highlighted look similar to that of Jennifer Aniston and Kylie is so subtle and subdued, it almost looks like the sun has slightly bleached out the hair, but still has that warmth of tone. Stay away from heavy highlights and mixed tones this year, monotone hair is the vibe for 2009."
Tracey Devine for Angels, Aberdeen
"Blondes are spanning from cool and icy to rich caramels and honey blondes for 2009. Eyelash skimming purdey fringes will be any hair fashionista's must have, especially worn with a prism of colour, although towards the midsummer the fringe will raise slightly to midway on the forehead making way for a new edge to any length haircut. I love Agyness Deyn's cut and colour; for 2009 she has modified her crop beautifully to a short cute flapper style length bob and added the 'new' fringe."
Rae Palmer, Southern Hairdresser of the Year
"I love blondes and the challenges of making them look either very glamorous or very natural. Bleach and tints are such a great combination as the results can be breathtaking. Pale pearl may be the fashionista's first choice, but beach blondes will still enjoy their moment in the sun, Jennifer Aniston guarantees that. Her hair looked gorgeous at The Oscars and she has a hit movie out, therefore honey, gold and caramel blends will be big."
Steven Goldsworthy for Goldsworthy's, Swindon
"The Spring '09 feeling is all about the sheer nuances of dimensional color and tones to achieve a softer, more natural effect. How we achieve this is with tonality - we are looking for more sheer tonality rather than definite dimension. For blondes, we see different takes on highlights. It's a more 'lived in' and organic highlight versus an obvious streak. It's almost like if you look at a piece of toffee and you see the swirls of color. We are hand-painting and artistically placing lightener with a bevelled sponge applicator away from the scalp rather than on. We are adding subtle sheer tonality to blondes - whether it is a strawberry or a honey tone that gives a more shimmery sheer lustre to the hair. We are also seeing a commitment to a softer side of ash which is always popular, for a more demure, quiet blonde."Linda Yodice - Global Artistic Director for Paul Mitchell Professional Colour
"We'll be seeing a whole lot of what I call 'girlie girl' walking around this season which is lightweight, almost product free hair, nearly flyaway in texture. The hair does have movement and root lift but there's a focus on almost chunky layer free hair cuts. Gwyneth Paltrow's bob is the shining example of where a bob should be at to be totally on trend now, it has a very strong outline with the product free effortlessness of this summer's look. Colour this spring/summer is all about the dusty blonde, a soft sandy almost matt blonde with a mussy texture."
Lisa Shepherd, Lisa Shepherd Salons
"This season is all about the gorgeous and groomed look with a super glossy expensive looking finish whether straight or curly with colour all about enhanced natural tones in vibrant solid shades. Long hair will fall in face framing layers and fringes will be wide, deep and heavy. Shorter classic shapes will be strong but feminine, with bobs given edgy texture and a tailored look."
Anya Dellicompagni and Michelle Thomson, Francesco Group
"Blondes will be warmer this season so platinum blondes will be shot through with apricots, golds, honey and biscuit tones. Curls will be bang on trend…the bigger the better! Make sure those curls are worked on, teased and back combed to give them as much texture and movement as possible. Sophisticated updos are also great this season with buns and sleek knots giving that 'just off the runway' look."
Clive Johnston, Clive Alexander

Bukoba — FORMER striker with Kagera Regional soccer team - Lweru Eagles, Erasmus "Mataifa" Kakolaki, is no more. He died on Thursday and was laid to rest at his home village, Buganguzi, in Muleba District.
Kakolaki will be remembered by many for his talent. After completing his form four at Kishoju Secondary School in Muleba, he joined Halmashauri Muleba FC for a brief spell before joining Balimi FC in mid 1980s.
While at Balimi FC, Mataifa also featured for the regional soccer team, Lweru Eagles where he played with former national team Taifa Stars players, Leopold "Tasso" Mukebezi, Edwin Kilyanga, Salum Mawingu and the late Mapalala, to mention just a few.
Later, he joined Tanga's African Sports where he played for two seasons and later joined Malindi of Zanzibar. After retirement from active soccer, Kakolaki (43) became a coach, a career he held until his death. He is survived by a widow and three children.

Indeed. In fact, just yesterday I got an email asking whether I ever figured
out how to get my Netgear wireless card working under Knoppix. It was a
private email in response to a note I posted to vox-tech, I believe.
Unfortunately, I never looked into it any further, so I had nothing more to
offer to the thread (I really just mentioned it as an aside), and didn't
have an immediate solution for the fellow who e-mailed me last night.
Anyway, just agreeing with the fact that, thanks to the web archives
and search engines, people find lists like vox-tech, so it's always nice
to go that extra step to make them as useful as possible.
Nothing more disheartening than finding someone with EXACTLY the same
problem as you have, and a thread of crickets chirping in response. ;^)
So thanks, Jonathan. And thanks for the encouraging words, Mike!

...on the ocean floor?
Geohazard specialist Mike Clare is more interested in what lies beneath the sea. Clare works for Fugro GeoConsulting, a company that investigates and analyses the geology of the seabed for clients who wish to build offshore structures such as oil and gas platforms, pipelines and wind farms.
Clare, who has a master's degree in geology, can spend half of the year offshore in waters anywhere from Europe to Australia or west Africa, sending autonomous underwater vehicles and drills into the abyss to take "forensic geological evidence" from the ocean floor. Pictures and samples reveal clues about landslides, sediment avalanches, eruptions or earthquakes that happened in the past and allow him to model future risks so offshore structures are only built where it is safe. The rest of his time is spent at the company's offices near Oxford, where he heads up its Engineering Geology and Geohazards team.
Reality check: "It's exciting to go to deep-water geological frontier areas," says Clare. Sightings of mating humpback whales or weird deep-sea creatures are another perk. The worst aspects of offshore work, says Clare, are related to the weather: "10 to 15-metre waves that make you seasick and stop you from sending out the drills can be a downer."
...in the jungle?
Back on dry land, Finnish forest ecologist Terhi Riutta collects leaves and digs into the soil of the world's oldest rainforest in Borneo. She is part of SAFE, the Stability of Altered Forest Ecosytems project, which kicked off in 2010 and will run for another nine years. The project tracks the transition of every aspect of the ecosystem, from secondary rainforest, through logging and conversion to palm oil plantation, in what the organisers pitch as "one of the world's largest ecological experiments". Riutta investigates carbon and water dynamics at SAFE as part of her postdoc position with the University of Oxford.
Reality check: Riutta's project is one of more than 60 at SAFE, so the crowd is large and diverse. "We have a lovely community here, but it can be hard to never be by yourself. Fifty centimetres between mosquito nets is all that separates my personal space from that of my cabin mates," says Riutta. The glimpses of orang-utans or clouded leopards make up for it, though, and even the leeches aren't as bad as many fear: "As long as you wear these ridiculous long socks over your trousers, they keep off."
Know before you go
Ready to go and bag your own dream environmental job? The good news is that all of the projects and organisations featured here offer opportunities to get involved. Competition can be stiff, however, and paid jobs tend to go only to those who have proved they have both the right expertise and the guts to stick it out in whatever adverse conditions you may encounter in the wild. Unsurprisingly then, everybody New Scientist spoke to recommended getting field experience under your belt as soon as you can.
"We always look for people willing to accept a voluntary position, at least initially," says Dan Exton of Operation Wallacea. "It takes a diverse set of skills. You have to prove yourself not only as a scientist, but also in terms of logistics and working under pressure," he adds. Recruiters will look for evidence that people have "a genuine interest in working away from home, a sense of adventure and the ability to do your job in a very harsh environment", says Andy Webb of the British Antarctic Survey.
Academic rigour is equally important, emphasises marine scientist Giada Franci: "It's not enough to dream of whales and dolphins, you have to be prepared to study really hard and become outstanding, as only the best people get funded, especially now that science budgets have been cut everywhere. Knowledge and passion together are your ticket to do this job." Make sure that you apply your studies early on, though, recommends National Trust animal ecologist Peter Brash (see "Adventures back home"): "The biggest gap in new graduates is a good grasp of species, so get to know them! Spend as much time with your field guides as with your textbooks."
Even Ben Southall, who won the competition to become caretaker of an Australian island in 2009 and who continues to work part-time as a Queensland Tourism Ambassador to this day, didn't just chance across the "best job in the world". He put in years of sweat roughing it across Africa to get the experience that convinced the judges he was the best of the 34,000 applicants. His advice is to get out of your comfort zone at least once to find out if an adventurous job could be right for you: "Stepping aside from the standard career route can be difficult but I told myself I've got only one chance on planet Earth and I want to use this opportunity. It became much easier after that!"
Adventures back home
If working in far-flung places isn't your thing, there is also plenty of excitement to be found closer to home. How about flying into the eye of the storm as Phil Rosenberg, an atmospheric science postdoc at the University of Leeds, occasionally does? Rosenberg works on the DIAMET project, which sends scientists into storms to study their dynamics and cloud particles aboard what is essentially a stripped down passenger plane refitted with scientific equipment. "We get tossed around quite a bit," he says.
No stomach-dropping storms await animal ecologist Peter Brash when he goes out to survey the wildlife at National Trust sites around England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The information he collects goes back into species and habitat databases and helps site managers determine the best way to care for an area. "I have been obsessed with wildlife since I was 10 and I still have to pinch myself that I get paid for doing the work I love whilst visiting the most beautiful places in the country," he says.

It's in the autumn air: men's spring fashions
"The collection is only about two people. Daniel and me," he said. "I guess we're very selfish that way."
Phillip Lim appropriately presented his "neo-beatnik" spring collection in a sparse, fourth-floor loft with unfinished wood floors. Models lounged in plywood cubicles constructed like a carousel frozen in the center of the room.
If the beatniks of the late 1950s and 1960s represented a displaced, dissatisfied youth, Lim's neo-version seemed to adopt similar attitudes.
"To me, design is not revolution. It's evolution," he said.
Pause here to snap your fingers in beatnik-like approval.
The neo-beatnik is no slouch. Consider a navy double-breasted traveler's overcoat with a peaked lapel and hand pick-stitch finishing or a black lambskin harrington jacket with knit trim. Windowpane is apparently a neo-beatnik's preferred pattern. Lim suggests a steel-blue windowpane double-breasted jacket with matching tapered pant with adjustable waist belt. Add an antique white, irregular windowpane shirt.
The presentation of a men's collection was a first for Lim, though he has been designing men's fashion for four seasons.
"I felt I should seize the moment to address the other half of the population," he said.
For his spring 2010 designs, Robert Geller looked for inspiration in late-1950s Germany.
"I felt that period of German history was a time of hope and renewal," said the designer, a native of Germany who has lived for 12 years in the United States. "And obviously with the economy as it is today, I wanted to design a hopeful collection."
His runway models emerged from a leafy, arboreal backdrop – though the color scheme was more autumn than spring.
Geller incorporated "comforting materials" into his collection – cashmere, silks and fine spun cotton. His signature layered look was evident and he resurrected his prison-like vertical-stripe pants. The collection featured colors not typically associated with spring: cobalt and midnight blues, dark plum, ocean gray.
The designer's favorite: a denim suit (Geller wore a light-blue denim shirt for the show and he designs for Levi's).
"There really is a power to springtime and I've tried to represent that in a way."
What seemed to be erotic groans and heavy breathing crescendoed as the lights dimmed at the opening of Richard Chai's spring collection show. Then nothing happened and the hushed crowd began to murmur and chuckle.
The tease was followed by a booming dance music beat that's become old hat at fashion settings.
First to appear on the horseshoe runway was a model wearing an ivory/back windowpane balmacaan (loose-fitted coat), an ivory/black cashmere tank top and ivory/black windowpane pleated bucket shorts. And that set the tone for a collection that featured much that was ivory, gray and black.
"I like the ease of it – the collaboration between the sporty cycling element and the tailoring," Chai said of the collection.
Chai's ivory cashmere zip-up cycling shirt, silk ribbed cycling shorts and the cycling caps were more tour de force than Tour de France.
Chai added a bit of color to the collection with a blue tweed, double-breasted blazer with matching Bermuda shorts and a berry-red cashmere T-shirt over an ivory windowpane pleated shorts.
