Indianapolis Maybe, just maybe, the 90th Indianapolis 500 could have had a more exciting ending Sunday.
All it would have taken was a brutal block from precocious rookie Marco Andretti, and Sam Hornish Jr. could have employed his emergency backup plan.
"I was going to drive over him if I had to," Hornish said. "It didn't matter.
"Anything in between the walls and up to the walls, against the walls : I needed to go wherever I needed to go, and the thing was so fast off the corner, I don't know if he had enough time to react."
A sun-drenched, sweat-soaked crowd of a quarter-million barely had time to grasp the notion that for the first time since 1969, an Andretti might win Indy, and a 19-year-old Andretti at that.
But then this. : Whew.
This was Hornish, the pole-sitter - whose team made the mistakes it had preached all month about avoiding - storming back to atone for those errors in a most dramatic fashion. He powered through the final corner, timed his run perfectly, darted to the inside wall and shot past by a car length just before Andretti reached the checkered flag.
Never before had the 500 been won with a last-lap pass, and only once - when Al Unser Jr. held off Scott Goodyear by 0.043 of a second - had the final margin been smaller than the 0.0635 of a second that separated Hornish's Dallara-Honda from Andretti's.
"He ran 219 mph on used tires," team owner Roger Penske said, noting that Hornish gobbled up Andretti's 1-second lead with a final lap that was 5 mph faster.
"When it's time to go, I think you got to hand it to him. He is a fantastic oval racer. At the end, the driver won this race."
Penske knows a thing or two about winning Indy, having earned a record 14 rings with 10 drivers, dating to Mark Donohue's in 1972. Hornish, on the other hand, knows more than he cares about losing them.
The 26-year-old from Defiance, Ohio, had already claimed more Indy Racing League trophies (14) than anyone else, as well as the championship in 2001 and 2002.
Hornish would have traded all of those, though, for one Indy 500. He saw Danny Sullivan spin and win in 1985 and soon began dreaming of the day he, too, would wear the wreath and sip the milk while donning the Penske colors.
In six previous tries, one with PDM, three with Panther Racing and two with Penske, Hornish had never gone more than 196 of the 200 laps or finished better than 14th.
"Last Sunday afternoon, I was furious with myself because I went out there and put the car in the wall," said Hornish, who crashed his backup car on the final full day of practice. "It took me a little while, probably until Lap 199 7/8 when I crossed the finish line before I got the confidence back in myself for going out there and doing that. All the problems that you have along the way make it so much sweeter.
"I can't put it into words exactly what it means to me, but it's the best day that I'll ever have as far as my career goes."
Hornish didn't necessarily have the best car all day. In fact, he played it cautious early when the handling wasn't quite right, allowing defending champion Dan Wheldon to run off and lead a race-high 148 laps.
The winner didn't have the best luck, either.
As Wheldon was about to beat Hornish off pit road with 49 laps to go, Penske told Hornish, "go, go, go," but his fueling hose was still engaged. By the time Hornish stopped, the rig was ripped in two, and fueler Chris Seaman was rolling on the ground. And when Hornish served his drive-through penalty, he touched tires with rookie Townsend Bell, who had committed a similar infraction.
"Probably the first thing that came to my head is, 'I can't believe this is happening,' " said Hornish, who fell to eighth. "The second thing that came to my head is, 'The last two years I put the car in the wall, so I better shut up and not say anything.' "
So Hornish just put his head down and drove, conserving fuel and hoping for a caution that would put him in striking distance again. It came with 10 laps to go, when Felipe Giaffone slapped the second-turn wall.

Avaya Introduces Mortgage Modification Help
Enterprise communications solutions provider Avaya unveiled a program to help financial services providers with the mortgage modification process called Avaya Proactive Outreach for Financial Services.
Proactive Outreach is enabled by Avaya Aura, the company's platform that supports enterprise communications. It adds new enhancements designed to help companies better manage mortgage modifications, a key segment of the loss and collections process. By combining outbound contact and self service, the solution calls customers and uses voice automation to determine one's eligibility for a mortgage modification. It can also pre-qualify customers, and inform customers where they are in the application process.
Proactive Outreach was previously introduced with capabilities to manage collections. With the mortgage modification enhancements, Avaya says institutions can help ease the process of making customers aware of their eligibility for mortgage modifications, and the status of their applications. The solution can identify candidates for mortgage modifications, and call and notify them of their eligibility under the federal government's 2009 Home Affordability Modification Program. Using self service, Proactive Outreach walks them through the pre-qualification process, and can also inform customers about their application status—along with instructions for missing documents—to keep the process moving.

Rex has been enjoying the outdoors as of late and enjoying some classic literature that his Mom didn't throw out with his baseball cards. Yup, that's right, Rex has been perusing old comic books.
Apparently Rex got to browsing through his old collection after learning that country music star Trace Adkins is about to be serialized in a four-issue comic series called "Trace Adkins is LUKE McBAIN."
According to the publisher of the book, Adkins' character will be taking back his hometown in Louisiana after returning from a prison sentence. The cover of the first issue harkens back to Walking Tall and a Joe Don Baker-like Adkins carrying an axe handle to administer justice.
This is apparently the first time a country music singer has been turned into a cartoon character (on paper) but music fans will note that this same stunt was pulled back in 1977 when the rock band Kiss published a comic book and publicized it by pouring small vials of their own blood into the red ink used for the press run.
Rex got to thinking what other country stars should have their own comic book alter ego and came up with an idea.
The series would be called "John Rich and the Barstool of Justice" where Rich fends off wannabe musicians with excessive force. His sidekick could be has-been rock singer Sebastian Bach, whose special powers are to drunk-dial enemies into submission.
Barring guns in parks and bars
Rex has been watching with interest the movement by restaurant owners and various local governments to block guns from being allowed in bars and city parks.
So far the Shelby, Hamilton, and Williamson county governments and cities such as Brentwood, Bristol, Chattanooga, Clarksville, Johnson City, Memphis, Murfreesboro and Signal Mountain have already said 'no dice' to guns in parks. Columbia, Jackson and rural Meigs County have chosen to allow them.
Nashville/Davidson County appears to be on the fence with Metro councilmembers hemming and hawing over how to address the issue. Rex wonders if one compromise would be to allow Shooter Jennings to play in Centennial Park, but isn't sure if the intelligentsia would allow that.
In addition to the battle over parks, a lawsuit being supported by restaurant owners that would overturn the state law allowing guns in their establishments is winding its way through the legal system in Davidson and Shelby counties.
Rex has been within earshot (sorry, couldn't help myself) of a few conversations that have led him to believe that some members of the state legislature who supported the laws are now having second thoughts and might join the lawsuit filed by the restaurant owners.
If these legislators pull the trigger and join the lawsuit, does that mean they are backstabbers? Rex wonders.
Two candidates, one thankless job
The not-so-quiet campaign for the thankless Metro Council pro tempore slot has reached a fevered pitch and seemingly left two candidates in contention.
First-term district Council members Sean McGuire and Erica Gilmore both want the job and have worked to secure support from their colleagues. Gilmore was nominated for the job last year, before bowing out to Greg Adkins.
The job is generally limited to pinch-hitting by running meetings when the vice mayor is absent, but there is a line of succession that bears remembering.
Should the vice mayor step down or be forced to replace the mayor, the pro tempore is next in line. That's how Howard Gentry became vice mayor originally before winning the job by election in 2003, after replacing Ronnie Steine.
Look for a divided vote when Metro Council makes its choice in September. One month out, Rex hears McGuire has the edge, but Gilmore has a decent shot as well.
The book Rex is waiting on
Rex wants to congratulate the Metro Police Cold Case Squad and the District Attorney's office for finally closing the book on the mystery that was the murder of Marcia Trimble.
Since 1975, a generation of Nashvillians has wanted this case solved more than any other. No disrespect to the other cases that remain unsolved, but this one struck a nerve that has resonated through the years.
Rex especially wants to say how moved and touched he was by the testimony and public comments made by Virginia Trimble Ritter, Marcia's mother. While we never know the anguish she has endured over the years waiting to know who killed her daughter, her poise and eloquence brought a tear to even the most jaded newshounds.
In the verdict that found Jerome Sidney Barrett guilty of murder, it also exonerated two men who had endured years of public suspicion by law enforcement officials.
Jeffrey Womack and March Egerton, then-teenagers who lived in the Trimble neighborhood, endured years of public speculation that they had something to do with the crime. Womack was even arrested twice, both times on his birthday, and was even once charged with murder by Metro Police before the DA refused to prosecute.
While law enforcement officials are patting themselves on the back for a job well done, there are some retired cops who might not be smiling for long due to their relentless pursuit of Womack.
Womack, along with his attorney John Hollins, and former Tennessean reporter Leon Alligood are writing a book about the case. Needless to say, Rex doesn't think that Womack will be complimenting the police when the book is published.
That's one read that will be on Rex's book club list.

"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
-- Hebrews 11: 3
At any time of the year, but especially during the summer, it is amazing to see the vast variety of God's creation.
From fish to birds to mammals, on land or sea, the numbers of living creatures are incredible. Plants display their colors and fragrances in great abundance.
Let's see, the mnemonic for organizing plants and animals was "Kings play chess on Fiberglas stools" or "Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species." Anyway, there is a bunch of them and they all show God's creative power.
Furthermore, the Scripture tells us that creation continues as it should because God upholds all things by the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3). This is the word that was spoken in the Genesis account, "And God said ..."
Thankfully, creation is not only an old story from the beginning, but is evidenced by what God can do with man now. Convicted by God after a terrible sin he had committed, King David prayed, "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Psalm 51:10
Jesus made this powerful statement, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32
The creative power of his word is able to make people live in liberty from sin and in victory over the devil's deceit. This powerful word is to continually do an effectual work in the lives of believers (I Thessalonians 2:13).
Indeed, new life that follows the new birth is God's plan for man.
The apostle Paul wrote, "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." II Corinthians 5:17
While man can make a mess of his life, if he turns to the Lord, there are answers.
Jesus gave us his redemptive name and regenerative Spirit (Acts 2:38), so that we could find freedom from the failures of the past and a new life in him.
Our confidence can be that of the psalmist in Psalm 124:8, "Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth." Surely with creation in his resume, God is able to help us with our needs.

the machine just went grey when it started,
and out through the window, the sun fades
and you could turn yourself in -
what you did to us, it made us sense
in each and everyone, something awful -
a tiny voice, precarious and muffled
when we want, we can halt the static
and start the record again, down from the attic
from vinyl, into the air
to hear again, the voice - what wasted,
what uncherished smiles and eyes and
what a repeatedly breaking heart,
when the machine comes on.
it hiccups through tracks and bounces
through the boundaries, what a polar
and uncommonly unholy way to bound
through this devastation, but keep it
keep the record playing.
keep the machine on.
what a difference the sounds would
make to some one that would believe
in the stuff, this love. what rasping
breaths of young love, but it's still
it's so wasted, the melody,
the time it keeps, no more matter,
it doesn't matter. it's the same sad
song. but keep it playing it.
for our sake,
keep the machine on.

renaming the stars.(we call the dog Golgotha)
[This, really, is only the suggestion of something that's real.
We are both illusory.]
We are both illusory.]
It's not about worrying where to begin, it's about just where we'll go from here.
We shift from some platonic embrace to holding hands beneath a canopy of twilight,
Staring up at the tiny pinpricks of light above our horizon, all the tiny little flecks
Of diamond dust revolving around us,
We're the smudged and ambiguous center of some stained atlas, the fulcrum
of some stampede of forgotten destinations that shine on us from unfathomable distances.
She digs unpainted, manicured fingernails into the webs of my hand, each one
The individual summit of a long and railish ringer.
Somewhere, in the sickly velvet half-glow of the night, the distance between us grows
And thrives in the margins, waiting to pounce again.
The near silent swish of the fabric, all these moments passing,
The beat of my heart and the gentle rise and fall of her breath
Pushing her clavicle up, only to fall again, like empires of man.
There are times when I'd like to know exactly what she's thinking,
It's Friday and we're all drinking,
All celebrating something, and I know, off in that dark distance,
There are flooded fields of brown and gold and pink thriving in her mind,
I want to know what turns, what's motivating
That pretty little head of hers.
She looks at me and says,
You will never find me,
You'll never cross me,
To lose me,
Under these skies,
And she's screaming from the sight of me,
She says
Believe me babe
It won't make this any easier
We could have been so close,
And no
It never made a bit of sense,
It won't make it any easier.
You will never find me.
We call the dog Golgotha.

Visiting Africa as a tourist could be the best way to fight poachers
African elephants, one of the world's most iconic animals, could go extinct in the wild within the next decade, a major conservation conference in Botswana has been told. The best way to stop it is for as many people as possible to go on safari, the tourist trade providing money to fund protection. In other words, pack your khaki and get out there.
New figures from the International Union for Conservation of Nature show that the African elephant population fell from 550,000 to 470,000 between 2006 and 2013 - meaning at least 80,000 have been poached. The new statistics were delivered at the Africa Elephant Summit, attended by delegates from around 20 countries, including China, which is accused of fuelling the poaching trade for traditional medicine and other ivory products.
The situation is at its worst in east Africa, where numbers have fallen from 150,000 to 100,000 during the same seven year period. Tanzania's Selous Game Reserve was recently added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites under threat, as up to 66% of the reserve's population of elephants - as many as 25,000 animals - were killed between 2009 and 2013.
"This species could be extinct in our lifetime, within one or two decades, if the current trend continues," said Dune Ives, senior researcher at Vulcan, a philanthropic organisation run by US billionaire Paul Allen. "In five years we may have lost the opportunity to save this magnificent and iconic animal."
This news arrives in the same week as Prince Harry's announcement that upon leaving the army in June he'll be travelling to Africa to work on a conservation project, following in the footsteps of his father and brother who are already public advocates for wildlife protection.
There is some debate over quite how dire the situation in Africa is, with elephant populations in southern Africa proving healthier than elsewhere. Some experts state that if poaching continues at current rates it could see these numbers halved, but not the species eradication posited by some.
What most experts agree upon is that tourism has a hugely important role to play in defeating the poachers. The money provided by visitors going on safari in the area delivers the funds necessary to continue the conservation effort.
Kenyan wildlife expert Jonathan Scott said: "The bottom line is this: if we abandon tourism, we abandon conservation. When people ask me, 'How can we help?' we say: 'By taking a safari.' Wildlife-based tourism is not a choice but a necessity. It pays the bills that keep the game parks and their wildlife secure. Without the tourist dollars you might as well hand over all the remaining wildlife to the poachers."
So the best way you can stop African elephants from going extinct is to go on safari. It's a hard job, but someone has to do it.

Hey Y'all. Being an extra on a hit television show has been on my "bucket list" for some time now, along with reaching my goal weight, sleeping in a haunted hotel and visiting the Hershey Chocolate Factory. Yes, unfortunately I know goal weight and chocolate do seem to contradict each other.
My bucket list, short for things I want to do before I die, just became one item less recently. I had the opportunity to be an extra on the hit TV show NASHVILLE. Finally, a chance to be behind the scenes and see 'up close' how one of my favorite TV shows is produced.
The opportunity to be a background artist, which is just a fancy term for extra, became a reality last week when NASHVILLE filmed a segment for the debut of the second season which will air on September 25th.
E-mail instructions arrived a few days before filming which included what to wear, how to act/react and most of all strict instructions that I was not allowed to reveal any secrets of the show until it actually airs. The final bit of info said I should be prepared to work from seven p.m. until three a.m. That last part made me pause because by about nine p.m. my pajamas are usually on.
Curiosity won out over sleep and I showed up at the Parthenon in Nashville to be in the crowd scene for a segment featuring Juliette Barnes doing a concert scene for the show. A big red X was placed on my hand when I arrived so that I could indulge in all the free food I could eat in the casting tent. Loads of chili, hamburgers and even peanut butter and jelly sandwiches along with every snack food you could possibly wish for was available. As I sat at a picnic table visiting with the other extras, snacking and just waiting to be called for my big scene,I was thinking this was a lot of fun.
After about an hour and a half it was announced that we were needed on set. Finally! How exciting! The crew then marched us over single file and lined us up checked our wardrobe and gave strict instructions that if we were caught taking phone pictures we would be yanked from filming. Some of us were given props. I was given a glow stick and others were given fake cameras that had working flashbulbs.
While we waited for the "lights, camera, action" directive, we got to look around at the props, lighting and massive amount of equipment it takes to film a TV show. And then it happened- Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettier) arrived on stage. The Parthenon was bathed in a purple glow as Juliette took the stage wearing a silver sequined short gown with a long white train (picture a Las Vegas wedding dress). She is so tiny in person and just adorable. Avery Barkley (Jonathan Jackson) another cast member joins in playing guitar. He was pretty easy on the eyes too.
I don't think I'm giving too much away if I tell you that this part of the show is supposed to be a benefit concert for Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton) who is seen on the shows finale last season about to have a horrible car crash. Obviously Rayna is in bad shape and Juliet tells the crowd (all us extras) how much Rayna means to her. And then she sings one of Rayna's songs. The singing was great. We all clapped, cheered and I waved my glow stick with gusto. What fun. That was great! That should be a wrap, It can't get any better.
We are then told it is not quite that easy. This five minutes of the TV show is going to take hours to film. By the tenth take we will know every word to the song and be hearing it in our dreams for nights to come. And I have to say this was true. In between takes different lighting is tried, people moved around and a crew of about six make up people arrive on stage to "touch up"the actors. I am wishing just one of those helpers could massage my tired legs. I think even my glow stick is getting tired.Toward the end of the evening I was thinking this bucket list adventure of mine is surely a one time thing.
The good news about my bucket list is it just keeps getting longer and I hope this means I will not "kick the bucket" until I get to stay in the Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, visit the giant redwoods, attend a native american sweat lodge ceremony, go to the Kentucky Derby, see my husband elected sheriff or walk up to a stranger, hand them a suitcase and say in my best spy voice, "You know what to do with this". (Don't worry there will just be a glow stick inside)
Happy adventures Y'all!

Sometimes meals need to be simple. I like to have a repertoire of easy, go-to meals that I can throw together quickly on those nights when time is short in between work and whatever other activity I have going on. This recipe is one of those.
I love spicy sriracha sauce, especially on Asian dishes. For this dish, I used sriracha as the foundation for the marinade that I used on lean, boneless, skinless chicken breast. While the chicken needs to sit in the marinade for about 20 minutes to really absorb the flavor, sometimes I start the marinating process in the morning before I leave for work, or even the night before, to save even more time after a busy day at work.
Once the chicken is marinated, all that is left to do is sauté up the asparagus, add in the marinated chicken, and then finish the dish off with some sliced green onions and cilantro. I like to serve this over a quick cooking brown basmati rice which has a great nutty flavor. All in all, excluding the marinating process, the entire dish takes less than 20 minutes to prep and cook, making it a perfect add to my repertoire of weeknight meals. The fact that it's lean and healthy is an extra bonus.
What's your favorite go-to dinner recipe for those busy weeknights?

NEW YORK (Mar. 13)
Plans for the rehabilitation and resettlement of some 700 to 800 surviving Jews of Agadir, Morocco–all who are left of the community's 2,300 Jews–are now being made by the Joint Distribution Committee, together with local Jewish organizations, it was announced here today by Edward M. M. Warburg, JDC chairman.
Mr. Warburg reported that some 500 of the Agadir Jews had been brought to Casablanca, where they are being cared for by the JDC, which is also providing food, clothing and medical care. After the immediate emergency has been met, Mr. Warburg reported, JDC must be prepared to undertake to provide housing, Jobs, schooling for the children and other necessities for the refugees. If Agadir is rebuilt, it will take many years, and it is difficult to predict how many of the city's Jewish population will return, he said.
The JDC representative who is now in Morocco directing relief activities for the Jewish survivors reported that of the 2, 300 Jews in Agadir, the large majority perished in the earthquake; the same is true for the village of Inezgane, about eight to ten kilometers from Agadir, which had a Jewish population of about 250. Jewish institutions in Agadir were either completely destroyed or so badly damaged that they will have to be torn down. These include the Lubavitcher Yeshiva, and the Alliance Israelite Universelle School and kindergarten. Many of the community leaders and professional staff, including two rabbis, were killed in the disaster, the JDC report stated.

"Nizzle" is her nickname, and she's really impressed with her silky skills since debuting for the Black Ferns Sevens in 2015/16. The mother of two has plenty of pace and strength which has helped her command a regular starting spot. Rugby's obviously in the Williams' blood with older brother Sonny not bad with the oval ball in hand either, and she's happy to say he's been an inspiration to her own blossoming career. Her guilty food may be doughnuts, but just like her brother, she trains the house down as she pursues her rugby dreams. Williams capped off 2016 with a silver medal at the Rio Olympics.

You might have felt the problems while running the files present on your USB device. You may not be able to access them due to various reasons like accessibility, software problems and many more. And it is very irritating and turns out to be a complete wastage of time. We have to spend a lot of time in searching the solution and even then not able to find the one. Because every device has its own solutions. So, I prefer to have one common solution to all these problems so that there are no hurdles while I am working. In this context today I would like to review a tool known as USB Autorun which is used to execute the files on USB device.
USB Autorun is a very small freeware of 480 KB only. It is a portable utility. As soon as you run the freeware, it will be present on the system tray. The utility will help you to access or execute the programs, files or any other item on the USB. You have to simply pair the device and can proceed with the further steps very easily. The user interface has been shown in the snapshot below.
The arrow along with the USB Devices will allow you to Select or Unselect a particular device. When you click the option select USB device, it will display a new dialog box as shown in the snapshot below. It will display all the devices that can be paired with the utility at the point of time. The name along with the info will be displayed for your convenience. You can select any of the required devices.
Select the devices and they will be displayed in the previous interface. And further you can carry out the required process. And similarly from that window you can unselect the USB device. It will have the log for all the events that have been performed. The utility can execute a large range of files as far as the compatibility is concerned. Sometimes the freeware is confused with the free wares used to run the USB device in the safe mode and protect from the virus. But it has entirely different function as discussed. So, execute the files and programs easily for any of the USB device.
The other requirements for the freeware are . NET Framework 4.0. The freeware has been tested on Windows 7 and it is also compatible with the other versions also.

Simon Easterby joins Irish coaching set-up as Scarlets release their head coach
The IRFU has confirmed Simon Easterby as the new Ireland forward's coach after he was released by the Scarlets to take up the international role.
The 65-cap Ireland international has been granted permission to leave the Welsh club following discussions with the IRFU, something Easterby himself described as an "emotional decision."
Discussions were concluded between both parties this week and Easterby admitted it was too big an opportunity to turn down.
"It's a huge opportunity for me in Ireland and one I am very excited about, but it's been a very emotional decision to leave the Region that has been such a major part of my rugby career," he said.
"I am grateful to everyone that has helped me throughout my Scarlets career."
"My particular thanks go to all the players in the squad for their hard work and commitment, the backroom staff who have been a pleasure to work alongside over the past couple of years and all our supporters who continue to show great passion and loyalty to all that rugby stands for in West Wales."
Ireland coach Joe Schmidt has expressed his delight at the latest addition to his management team.
"Simon has tremendous test match experience combined with an in-depth knowledge of the current National Squad players," he said.
"He is well known to Irish rugby supporters and to many of the players and his knowledge and experience will help drive the team forward."
The Scarlets were quick to praise their departed coach and thanked him for his contribution to the game in Llanelli.
"It is a compliment to Simon's fast development and success within his coaching role at Parc y Scarlets over the past two years that he has been offered this opportunity," Scarlets Mark Davies said.
"We were aware that both Joe Schmidt and the IRFU had identified Simon some time ago and as a result of his and the Scarlets progress over the last two seasons, this chance has come his way."
"As Scarlets we thank Simon for his huge contribution as a player and most recently as our coach for all that he has done to represent this Region at the highest level; he has worked with huge integrity, dedication and passion and wish him all the best in his international coaching career."
Easterby will take up his Ireland role in October.

LG GD900 Crystal coming to more than 40 countries
LG has just announced that its fashionable LG GD900 Crystal phone will be "very soon" available in more than 40 countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
The South Korean company initially said the phone would be on sale starting May, but this obviously didn't happen.
The price of LG GD900 is still not announced, but we're hearing the phone will retail for about €450 ($622). Obviously, that's not a price that all users can afford. But, after all, the GD900 is a high-end phone.
Apart from the unique transparent keypad, LG GD900 Crystal also features a 3 inch WVGA touchscreen display, accelerometer, an 8MP camera with autofocus and flash, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, TV out and 1.5GB of internal memory – all this in a case that measures only 13.5mm in thickness.
According to LG, the new phone will be available in two color versions: chrome and titanium.
Until you can actually buy it, though, you can watch our LG GD900 Crystal video preview.

Stars Over Sisters
Central Oregon is fortunate to have beautiful clear skies over 300 days of the year. From your cabin patio at FivePine, you can sit back and enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature and see an endless amount of stars.
A few weeks ago, just after sunset I saw a particularly bright star wandering around near the moon, and I wondered what it was. The moon itself was a waning sliver of light at the time, just about to enter its "new" phase. Realizing that a new moon means no moon, and no moon means very sparkly stars, I remembered that the Sisters Astronomy Club would soon be hosting its public stargazing program at the high school soccer field. A visit to people with telescopes could probably answer my curiosity over the wandering star.
The program started at 8:30pm, in the Sisters Parks and Recreation building (SPRD) near the high school. There was a lecture and open discussion about "trans-Neptunian objects" and about what we would be seeing that night. Around 9:15 pm, we walked out to the field where several telescopes had already been set up.
I gravitated first to the telescope that was pointed at the bright star I'd been seeing. It turned out it was Venus, which makes sense because planets are the only celestial bodies that wander in our skies (aside from the moon). In the telescope, Venus was only a half-moon shape, because of its current position relative to the sun. Imagine how bright it would be in full position!
After Venus, I stood in line quite a while at the telescope focused on Saturn. It was worth the wait, as I got to see that planet in a position I'd never seen before – at a slight tilt as if to show off its rings. It was so beautiful and iconic an image, it was hard to believe it was real. To the naked eye, Saturn is just a point of light among a billion lights, but in the telescopic eye-piece it is a special work of art.
Other sights that evening included Mars, fuzzy star clusters, distant nebulae, and some rather local phenomena like satellites and meteors. The program ended whenever the watchers had seen all they cared to see, or when they got too chilly – whichever came first.
The Sisters Astronomy Club hosts this star watch, named "Stars over Sisters," on these upcoming dates in 2012. All programs start in Room 1 of the Sisters Parks and Recreation building on the far side of the high school parking lot.

Saturday May 19th, 8:30pm
Friday July 20th, 9:00pm

Tags: Big Tits, Brunette, Swallow, Tattoos, ShavedMovie description:
It's a beautiful day on Charlie Mac's second day in Budapest, so why not take advantage of the weather? He's got his Hungarian language tutor -- a college girl named Klaudia Hot -- who teaches Americans her language as a part-time job. There was an immediate attraction between the two, and they can barely make it through the first few minutes of the lesson before the make-out sessions begins. Before you know it, Klaudia is on her knees pleasuring the black man, and she doesn't even care if the neighbors know. After a balcony blow job it's on to the bed room, where Charlie Mac teaches her what BBC is all about.

Its cool you guys went to Europe and shot some scenes with some fresh talent... The only thing is that maybe you should have mixed the European updates in with the normal ones. This way if some of your members are not into European chicks that can't speak any English(for example, Me), then they won't have to wait an entire month to see an update that they will enjoy. ...read more

If you are going to be in the area could you PLEASE find Jessica Koks/ Ferrara Gomez!!! She is easily one the prettiest "teen" stars to ever do porn and it would be a godsend to get her to do a scene on any of these sites. ...read more
Pretty Girl but boring.......Get Janet Mason back......Gang her with Multiple cream pies.
so simple. WHITE Girls enjoy Black dudes
as the economy falls, porn gets better because people have fewer options for work. However, eventually the economy will get bad enough where people will stop paying for porn, especially when their insurance premiums skyrocket because of the affordable care act. I know this has nothing to do with the site that I like, but I thought a little dose of reality was in order. Who do you think pays for these sites? I can tell you one thing, its not the deadbeat American that collects food stamps and govt subsidies. ...read more
Damn she's hot. But seems like she just doesn't quite take it balls-deep. Needs to be pounded by 3 or 4 blacks to really slut her up.

A FORMER major in the Pakistani army is desperate to clear his name after finding himself on the international list of wanted criminals at Interpol.
Syed Hamid Raza Shah, 48, of Lilian Close, moved to Swindon in 2012 after fleeing from his native country, and now finds himself sharing space with some of the most hunted drug traffickers and fraudsters.
Shocked to discover his name and face plastered over the Interpol website with a red notice for arrest on charges of fraud and misrepresentation, Hamid went straight to the Interpol offices at New Scotland Yard last November to hand himself in.
The organisation turned him away at the door saying they had no authority to arrest him and sent him back to his local police force. Heading to Gablecross later that day, Hamid was informed he would not be arrested.
Interpol has said the red notice listed on its website is not an international arrest warrant, and it is down to member countries to interpret the listing as they see fit. Hamid has an arrest warrant out in his name in Pakistan but is unable to travel due to the listing.
Hamid said: "One day someone called me and told me my name was on the Interpol list. I checked it and my name was there in black and white.
"I almost applied to be a school governor where my two boys go to school, so imagine the scandal if this had come out if I had got that position.
"This was last November, and I went straight to the Interpol offices in London. They told me to go back and contact my local police and then they could deal with it. From there I went to Swindon police station at Gablecross and said I wanted to fight my case.
"About a month later I phoned them again to chase it up and they advised me to go back to the Interpol office in London.
"Here I am, a wanted criminal in their eyes, and I am knocking on the door but I can't hand myself in. It seems crazy."
He has been liaising with North Swindon MP Justin Tomlinson and Foreign and Commonwealth minister Alistair Burt to get support for his position.
Irfan Sheikh, of Shafi and Irfan Law Associates in Bristol, has taken up Hamid's case, and wrote to Interpol five months ago.
He wrote: "My client is struggling hard to settle in the UK for the safety of his family. The presence of his name on the wanted list is a stumbling block in the way of travelling, which is essential."
A spokesman for Interpol said they do not discuss individual cases but applications can be made for them to investigate their listings.
They said: "A Red Notice is a request to provisionally arrest an individual pending extradition issued by the General Secretariat upon the request of a member country based on a valid national arrest warrant. A Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant.
"Interpol cannot insist or compel any member country to arrest an individual who is the subject of a Red Notice. Nor can Interpol require any member country to take any action in response to another member country's request."

Proving the Financial Impact of AgilePosted by EdmontonPM
Mar 25
Online Webinar
Offered by Rally Software
Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU or 1 CDU
Focus Your Assets Where They Produce Yield!
In an August 2008 report, third-party research firm QSM Associates (QSMA) assessed the performance of 29 Agile development projects against a database of 7,500 primarily traditional development projects in three key areas:
- Productivity
- Time-To-Market
- Quality
The results were that Agile teams were 37% faster to market and 16% more productive.
This webinar not only provides metrics from Agile organizations versus their waterfall counterparts, it also offers up a framework for measuring your own Agile initiatives.
This is a 3 part presentation
Part 1: This is a technical quantitative presentation that produces calculations and metrics that prove that there is a financial impact to agile methods and methodologies. SPOILER:
- Greater Value delivered
- Faster ROI
- Lower Risk
Benefits in cost and schedule were dramatic without a rise in defects and often defects were significantly lower. Agile shops were able to adjust the specific benefits to suit the project.
Part 2: This describes the development of Agile methodologies and implementation of agile methodologies of one of the measured companies described in part 1 This also included showing how productive teams are (even when developers may not be "office present").
Part 3: This part discusses how to optimize value delivery and reduce risk of project failures. This describes how professional coaching to focus the productivity the agile processes will increase the strategic value of IT.
This is a great presentation to assist management with understanding (from both defensive and proactive measures) to understand how to maximize budgets when budgets are shrinking.
QSMA Senior Analyst Michael Mah will help you to understand the financial returns that Agile delivers and learn how to quantify the benefits of Agile practices in your organization.
Jack Yang, Director of Engineering, will share his insights from HomeAway's Agile implementation experience.
Evan Campbell, Rally's VP of Professional Services, will discuss how to deliver and measure value while eliminating the risk of costly project failures.

Hawaii Resident Charged with Making False Statements in a Matter Involving International Terrorism
|U.S. Attorney's Office October 26, 2010
A criminal complaint was unsealed yesterday in the Eastern District of New York charging Abdel Hameed Shehadeh, age 21 and a U.S. citizen and resident of Hawaii, with making false statements in a matter involving international terrorism. Shehadeh was arrested on Friday, October 22, in Honolulu, Hawaii. At his initial appearance yesterday at the United States Courthouse in Honolulu, Shehadeh was ordered detained and consented to being removed to the Eastern District of New York for further proceedings.
The charges and arrest were announced by Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; Florence T. Nakakuni, United States Attorney for the District of Hawaii; Janice K. Fedarcyk, Assistant Director-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office; Raymond W. Kelly, Commissioner, New York City Police Department; and Charlene B. Thornton, Special Agent-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Honolulu Division.
According to the complaint, in early 2008, Shehadeh, at the time a resident of Staten Island, New York, devised a plan to travel to Pakistan in order to join the Taliban or a similar fighting group. In furtherance of his plan, on June 13, 2008, Shehadeh flew on a one-way airline ticket from John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York, to Islamabad, Pakistan. Upon landing in Pakistan, Shehadeh was denied entry into the country by Pakistani officials, and he returned to the United States. He was questioned by FBI agents and NYPD detectives on multiple occasions about the purpose of his trip to Pakistan, and he told them that he had traveled to Pakistan in order to visit an Islamic university and to attend a friend's wedding. The complaint alleges that Shehadeh subsequently admitted to FBI agents in Hawaii that the true purpose of his trip to Pakistan was to join a fighting group such as the Taliban. The complaint also alleges that Shehadeh attempted to recruit another individual to join him for this purpose immediately after the two discussed a sermon by the cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.
According to the complaint, several weeks after Shehadeh was denied entry to Pakistan, he attempted to enlist in the United States Army at the Times Square recruiting station in New York City. Shehadeh's application was denied when it was discovered that he had concealed his prior trip to Pakistan. Although Shehadeh claimed that he attempted to enlist for career opportunities and benefits, the complaint alleges that his true motive was to deploy to Iraq, where he intended to desert and fight against the United States military alongside Iraqi insurgent forces.
In addition, the complaint alleges that Shehadeh created and administered multiple websites dedicated to spreading violent jihadist ideology. The content of these websites included, among other things, speeches from known al Qaeda leaders such as Abu Yahya al-Libi and Ayman al-Zawahiri.
"As this case demonstrates, we and our partners in law enforcement are committed to preventing terrorist acts before the plots can be set in motion," stated United States Attorney Lynch. "We will spare no effort, and will deploy all available resources, to accomplish this mission." Ms. Lynch extended her grateful appreciation to the FBI and NYPD, the agencies responsible for leading the government's investigation.
United States Attorney Nakakuni stated, "We must remain vigilant to address activities in our own community which have connections to investigations and prosecutions in other areas. This case is an example of the necessary and successful cooperation among authorities separated by a six-hour time difference and over 5,000 miles."
FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Fedarcyk stated, "As charged in the complaint, Shehadeh lied about the purpose of his travel to Pakistan, then he lied in his attempt to join the U.S. military, and lied about why he sought to enlist. The real purpose, it is alleged, was not to join U.S. forces, but to wage war against them. Stopping one prospective terrorist can prevent untold numbers of casualties."
NYPD Commissioner Kelly stated, "In sharing information developed by the NYPD's Intelligence Division with our federal partners, the Police Department worked hand-in-glove with the FBI to curtail an alleged terrorist threat in the making."
FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Thornton stated, "The Honolulu FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force worked closely with our New York counterparts throughout this investigation. It is important to note that at no time was there any evidence of a terrorist plot targeting the Hawaiian Islands in this case."
If convicted of making false statements in a matter involving international terrorism, Shehadeh faces a maximum sentence of eight years' imprisonment.
The government's case is being prosecuted in the Eastern District of New York by Assistant United States Attorneys James P. Loonam and Ali Kazemi, with assistance provided by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Hawaii and the Counterterrorism Section of the Department of Justice.
The public is reminded that a complaint contains mere allegations, and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The Defendant:
Age: 21

The problem with "traditional" methods is that many aren't that traditional. Most of what we think of as "old school" wine wasn't around 100+ years ago. So it seems fuzzy to me on what to embrace as "traditional" and what is just plain good technique, no matter when it came about.

My take on most "technology" these days is that it usually is intended to make winemaking easier so that you can produce larger and more consistent amounts of wine. Which isn't what artisan wine is really about, artisan wine not necessarily being good or great wine, but perhaps worth all the fuss of writing about. When technology is intended to make wines better, I tend to find "better" means "worse" for my tastes. I'm thinking, for example, of dealcoholizing to find the "sweet spot" or fermentation additives that enhance the color and texture of a wine, often it seems creating an artificial character a la collagen injections and other body "enhancements."

Ok, enough with the "quotes."Vincent Fritzschehttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10545804.post-1155018287214324882006-08-07T23:24:00.000-07:002006-08-07T23:24:00.000-07:00Montevertine is one of the few Tuscan wines worth ...Montevertine is one of the few Tuscan wines worth buying these days, and the purity and class of the wines is unmatched.

And how many of "the latest technological innovations" have actually improved the distinctiveness of wine over the "traditional" methods? They may have made the wines more similar to CA Merlot, but that's not my definition of improvement.Marshall firstname.lastname@example.com

Real footballs back with Pompey
Now that we have got the latest international break out of the way and with it England's failure to qualify for Euro 2008 - what a long summer this will be! - the real business of club football with Pompey returns this weekend - thankfully.
This has been the moment that I have been waiting for and looking forward to ever since the 0-0 draw with City in our last outing - and I am sure I am not alone in that thinking...
We travel to struggling Birmingham not only looking to keep our impressive away run going, but our impressive run going full stop, but there is more, we go into this game at St Andrews chasing a new club record.
Should we avoid defeat we would set a new premier league record for games unbeaten.
Currently we have equalled our previous record of 8 unbeaten, set during our first season back in the top flight in the 2003/04 season - a run that saw us to safety and a run that also included a win over Birmingham, but this came at the Fortress.
18 points from the last 24 available tends to suggest that we should avoid defeat but we will not take anything for granted, however I would be bitterly disappointed if we came away with anything less than a point, to be honest though I do feel we will win anyway - make your own predictions in the Pompey predictions league here.

Abstract Achieving the vision of responsive and agile public services was once hampered by a shortage of information. Increasingly the problem is now the opposite – apparent information overload. The implementation of e-government, and the associated 'instrumentation' of many public service interactions, has generated vast quantities of administrative data across the public sector. Part of the argument for the 'e-enabling' of public services is that policy makers, managers, professionals, service users and ultimately the public can draw on these data to monitor, improve and ultimately transform services. As these kinds of data flows emerge from new systems, the emphasis in public service reform is shifting towards making more effective use of them to improve service delivery and the citizen experience. As policy makers, managers and professionals – and even public service users – begin to make use of such data, a range of new and potentially innovative practices are beginning to emerge. However, making sense of this new superfluity of data is an increasingly pressing challenge. This is not, however, just a matter of the quantity of data that has become available but also a matter of increased qualitative variation in types of data. One dimension of this variety concerns ways in which data is captured stored and presented (i.e. numerically, as text, as audio, as video, as pictures, etc.). More importantly, though, the data available to those working in the public services also varies in terms of its origins and provenance, the conditions under which it is gathered and the purposes for which it is intended to be used.

When I reflect on my childhood, the most abundant memory is playing the famous PC video game "The Sims." The second my parents bought a computer capable of playing the popular game that allows players to play God, I never left our office again. I was addicted to the idea of building people and their homes and then running their lives to the point of my parents staging an intervention and cutting back on my hours spent on the game.
With the countless hours I clocked playing "The Sims," I picked up a few life lessons that still serve me today.
1. Safety first
Keeping in mind I played "The Sims" with 12-year-old logic, I often forgo important items like the smoke detector and burglar alarm in exchange for the vibrating bed and automatic-flushing toilet. Time after time, my Sim would set his house on fire while making dinner, which always caused great frustration, property damage or the death of my Sim(s). Realizing all those fancy toys weren't worth much on fire, I learned that sometimes you have to buy the boring but important items first.
2. Your needs outweigh your wants
Much like the individual who controlled him, my Sim had an extreme Type A personality. He would read books until 2 in the morning in hopes of gaining the skills he needed for a promotion, he's call his friends late at night and he just loved having an espresso machine. That being said, he was often miserable, failed at the most basic tasks and had a habit of falling asleep on the floor after wetting himself. Whenever this happened, he never got his promotions, his friends would ignore his calls and the espresso machine would break (hence the crying). As much as he wanted to get ahead, and as much as I pushed him to keep going, in the end he always did his best when he got plenty of sleep, used the bathroom, and took an occasional day off work.
3. College isn't necessary
I am happy to have a college degree, but in hindsight I realize that they can be overrated. In the original game, Sims could achieve their dreams if they worked hard enough; no degree was necessary. In "The Sims 2," the ability to go to college was added as an expansion pack (so clearly the game developers didn't see college as a priority, either), and all it did was put my Sim in debt and start a career later than everyone else. Sure, the college experience was fun, but it wasn't a vital key to success.
4. You can't buy something until you have the money for it
In "The Sims" there is no such thing as financing. If you want a fancy car, you have to save up for it. In a lot of ways, this monetary system set me up for success in my adult years, because I learned early that the best way to pay for what you want is to save up for it.
5. It's better to buy quality than quantity
Sure, I wanted a giant, gorgeous living room with so many white couches that my neighbors thought my Sims had a cocaine problem. However, the fancy white couches just weren't that great for decoration—they were there to optimize comfort. When it came to electronics, I realized I often spent more money and time on the repairman (or bargaining with the Grim Reaper to get my Sim back from the dead after he would electrocute himself to death fixing the TV) than it was worth. Just save up for the nice, durable device and leave the cheap stuff in the virtual store.
6. Money doesn't buy happiness
If I had a dime every time my Sim would cry while standing in his living room with a giant bronze statue and a butler nearby, my Sim would have two giant bronze statues. While it's an important life lesson we all learn at some point, the popular teenage video game did a better job of making it clear through "show, don't tell" than any personal experience in middle school did. I would buy new gadget after gadget to make my Sim happy, even a room dedicated to pool tables, and he continued to cry. All he wanted was a puppy and a job he liked.
7. Careers change
Even if you make your Sim work all day and night and get promoted to the absolute top of their job, it won't last. This isn't a psychological discussion of how it won't last, either; the game is programmed to fire your Sim from their high horse after just a few weeks. Why? Life is about trying new things, exploring new jobs and never settling. You can't win at life; you can only experience it. One of the best ways to do this is keep up on new job opportunities.
8. Having kids is SUPER hard
Holy crap, children are the most difficult things to keep alive on this planet. Whenever my Sims decided to have a baby, I would buckle down, tell my mom I'll be eating dinner at the computer—again—and prepare for the worst night of my life. One of my Sims would inevitably lose their job; the house would become a mess, and there would be a 50 percent chance social services would take it away. The baby would cry continuously, and I never knew what it wanted to be happy. I would yell, "USE YOUR WORDS," which never helped, and my Sims and I would cry together into the night.
9. Friendships require time and effort
Thanks to "The Sims," I still think of the valuable game tip every time I realize I'm behind on catching up with old friends: "Friendships are like plants. If you don't care for them, they whither and die." The purpose of the message is to help your Sim's social levels, but it's true for real life, too. Friendships require time and effort, and while it's easy to hang out with the same people on a regular basis, it never hurts to call up some old friends just to see how they are and catch up.
10. Cheating doesn't make it worth it
Getting a job, working hard, living frugally and being responsible aren't a lot of fun sometimes, especially in video games. Thankfully, there are cheat codes! In "The Sims," a player is seven keystrokes away from thousands of extra dollars—all the player has to do is type in "ROSEBUD." While this was fun for a while, it always got boring. Building a house out stone, surrounding it with a moat and building a 10-car garage was fun, but then nothing seemed worth it. It's far more exciting to work hard, hate the same junk for months on end, and then replace it with something nice that was earned.

Pakistan: another Christian arrested on unsubstantiated 'blasphemy' charges
August 13, 2012
Pakistan's blasphemy laws have been exploited to bring highly questionable charges against another prominent Christian, the AsiaNews service reports.
Rev. Zafar Bhatti, who heads the Jesus World Mission, has been jailed after Muslims complained that he had insulted Islam in text messages. Christian leaders say that the charges reflect personal animosities against the Protestant minister.

Suntop Homes
Sutton Road and Spring Avenue, Ardmore
Frank Lloyd Wright is easily America's most famous architect, innovative and legendary in both his architecture and his personal life. Though he never attended architecture school, he apprenticed under Louis Sullivan and went on to design 1,100 buildings, of which only some 500 were finished. Among his most acclaimed and best-known accomplishments are Fallingwater and the Johnson Wax building, both completed in 1936, and the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Perhaps reflecting his native Wisconsin roots, Wright pioneered a new architectural design, a long, low building that became known as the Prairie Style. He also championed a concept of small low-cost homes that he dubbed Usonian. We are fortunate to have in Lower Merion an example of the Usonian vision, Frank Lloyd Wright's version of Philadelphia row houses, a quartet of homes joined at a central point and facing Sutton Road and East Spring Avenue in Ardmore. Built in 1939, only three years after Fallingwater, the Suntop Homes.

Fan Bingbing in Louis Vuitton, Outside the Show
As you may have read in this article, some Chinese women are going to extremes this summer to avoid the sun, even wearing ski masks to the beach! There's no need to go overboard, though. Chinese actress Fan Bingbing looked dazzling in all white – right down to a white Louis Vuitton umbrella to guard against the sun's rays – outside the Louis Vuitton show this spring.
Street Chic: Andrea in Vintage White Overalls
At yesterday's Mister Sunday party in Gowanus, beauty ad executive Andrea took a break from DJ Justin Carter's set to pose in this amazing outfit of vintage white Gap overalls layered over a gray tank top. Her elaborately braided hair and the vintage glasses make the look super individualistic.
White Crochet Dress, Bonnaroo
Open and airy crochet was a chic way to beat the heat at Bonnaroo. An ivory crochet dress serves as a bathing suit coverup here, paired with a headscarf, Ray Ban aviators and sandals. Like many guests, she piled on the bracelets to accessorize that Bonnaroo wristband.
Pink Bow Tie and White Chinos, Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic
Loved this cooly elegant look on a male guest at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic. It's preppy, yes, but also modern, with two-tone boating shoes and sleek sunglasses. Like many at the polo match, he accessorized with a Veuve Clicquot picnic blanket in their signature saffron yellow.
Girl With an Insect Pin, En Route to the Met Ball
An oversize insect pin conjured up the surrealist designs of Elsa Schiaparelli on this guest en route to the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala. A white silk dress and gray fur provide the perfect neutral but elegant backdrop.
Catherine Baba at Haider Ackermann
Parisian stylist Catherine Baba cycled by in a white trench, printed pants and her trademark turban outside the Haider Ackermann show. Trés chic!
Ursina Gysi at Alexander Wang
Pet peeve: I hate black puffer jackets, even though I own one. This winter in New York it was black puffer jacket after black puffer jacket on the streets, with very little color in between. I stood out in the cold shivering for hours (admittedly, sometimes in my black puffer jacket), praying to photograph something, anything other than a black puffer jacket! But stylist Ursina Gysi shows how to take an ever-present trend and make it your own. The beautiful silver tone and athletic jacket collar make this puffer stand out from the crowd. With a white lace dress, saturated blue bag and graphic black and white booties, the whole look is refreshingly cool and unexpected.
Meredith Melling Burke at Ports 1961
More white pants in February, this time on Vogue's Meredith Melling Burke, in a flared style that goes well with a simple camel coat. The look is luxe but classic.
Taylor Swift at Rodarte
Dear Lord – I forgot I took this photo! Taylor Swift arrived at the Rodarte show in an exquisite lace dress by the designers. This kind of beautiful craftsmanship looks even better close up – and very pretty on the country music star, especially with her matte red lipstick.
Geraldine Saglio at Carven
This French Voguette made waves this past Paris Fashion Week with her sporty but chic outfits. Here she pairs white jeans with a khaki top and leopard clutch for safari-inspired look that's great for transitional weather. Detail shot of her shoes and bag, after the jump. (more…)
Emmanuelle Alt, Outside Rodarte
The epitome of grace under pressure, Emmanuelle Alt has really aced NY Fashion Week – not just with her composure but with her cool, casual wardrobe. Before she was named Editor in Chief of French Vogue, her look was super sporty. Now it has evolved to something more sophisticated but still entirely her own, like this combination of crisp blue button down, white jeans and Hermes bracelet watch. Simple but perfect.
All White, Vivienne Tam Show
In a recent interview with various designers, WWD asked them: white after Labor Day, yes or no? Most said yes – with certain conditions attached. It has to look intentional, not haphazard. Here's a crisp, chic look outside the Vivienne Tam show last September – especially great with neon accessories.
