Fashion Spotlight: Fashion Bloggers Part One
I started blogging after reading my friend's personal/travel blog, I had no idea that is was essentially a little world with its own "celebrities", and that bloggers were so influential that you could find them in front row of catwalks. Blogging quickly became my new obsession, I liked the sense of community and the freedom of expression (which is a polar opposite to the writing I'm used to as a Psych student which is very objective and follows the strict guidelines of APA). So this post is dedicated to fashion bloggers about fashion bloggers, and written with bloggers in mind. Hope you learn from these fellow bloggers how to grow your own blog as they have theirs. Thank you to La Societe de Mode, Obsession Isnt Just a Perfume, Fashion Whore The Sydney Girl for taking part. Part One features The Sydney Girl and La Societe de Mode, I'll be posting the second and final part next week.
Sydney Girl: I love being creative with makeup, hair styling and what I wear. Blogging about it helps me express that creativity and share it with others. I also love my readers, and that has also kept me blogging.
La Society de Mode: We are so inspired by the world of fashion and blogging is a way to stay connected with it. We feel as though updating our blog is like writing in a journal; it's something you just gotta do for yourself.
How did you build your fellowship?
Sydney Girl: Mostly commenting back when someone comments on my blog. I think it is important for bloggers to develop a nice interaction with their readers.
La Societe de Mode: We commented on blogs and posts we genuinely liked and just hoped our blog would be good enough to attract readers
What do you think makes your fashion blog unique?
Sydney Girl: I try to add a particular freshness to it which gives it my own twist. I try to be creative and let the rest go from there.
La Societe de Mode: We think that our interviews make us unlike any other fashion blog out there. We're obessed with talking to other industry professionals and networking. Also, we're the only street style fashion blog of Rennes, France that we know of!
You have ads/sponsors on your blog, how did this come about? Also would you recommend monetising to other fashion bloggers?
Sydney Girl: Making money on a blog is really an individual thing. I think you need to establish why you have your blog. Is it to make money or is it share your passion for fashion with others? I think advertising and sponsors come handy when your blog has an extremely high volume of readers.
I don't have any ads or sponsors. Mainly bloggers and companies have approached me to swap links which helps promote my blog and theirs.

Loving the blog - I enjoy the individuality in articles by certain bloggers, and the way bloggers tend to be very opinionated is very entertaining. Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
i am very passionate about this subject and i feel that people are blissfully ignorant about what goes into wearing a fur coat... and if they are aware then they are horrible people! "to die for" fashion is one thing but killing for fashion is another!solar panels for your homeComet Discount CodesReplyDelete
Killing an animal for a coat seems different to killing an animal for eating...Humans are naturally omnivores. We eat meat...we DONT have to kill animals the way we do, but eating meat is food for our bodies. We can always take multivitamins but multivitamins don't absorb into our body as efficiently as the real deal (and are highly cancerous long term)Passages MalibuDJ Rob E Rob mixtapesReplyDelete
Good point its definitely brought up less than fur. I think its a bit iffy, I honestly haven't owned anything leather since school and that was school shoes, which is where is get a bit iffy because we had to were leather (or similar) black shoes and I think its the same for most schools for safety and uniformity.

And although I eat meat I am not dismissive of the issues that surround it, I know that are practices out there that are a less cruel options that some others out there e.g. free rage, cage- free etc and they definitely play a role in my choices.ReplyDelete

Dogs of all shapes and sizes have hearts of gold, and yet it's said that black dogs are routinely ignored and denied adoption based on the color of their silky fur. The photographer Fred Levy hopes to shatter negative stereotypes about the dark hued animals, perpetuated throughout our culture perhaps by the ominous depictions of the creatures in media, with the Black Dog Project. Capturing furry friends ranging in age and experience, the artist pins his regal subjects against a black backdrop, narrating a poignant story of canine love and courage.
Set against the soft darkness behind them, the animals appear lonesome and curious. Presumably told to sit for the shot, they cock their heads, let drop their downy ears, and look to the viewer for approval. The moving, miraculous tension in the animals' bodies recalls the ever-willing canine anticipation the blessed "come," a nod of recognition, an offer of affection, a release from being alone.
Levy's stunning lighting records the nuances of the black fur, celebrating the shade that is so often overlooked; the silky stands catch the light in such a way that haloes their faces, gives heavenly, royal meaning to their curved backs and furrowed brows. Levy maintains each subject's rich personality; the wizened senior Faith perks up her ears, and the therapy dog Max patiently holds our gaze with intent amber eyes.
Says Levy of the project, "I've found that it's really important to share the idea that there are always so many dogs in need of a good safe home, regardless of what the dog looks like […] Maybe someone will see this and consider the gravity of owning a pet, no matter what color it is."

From 12 stories up I see the sign "Gay Bar Entrance" above the barbed-wire gates through which two gunmen have just fled. It's a night like any other in gay Moscow: some violence, some tears, and a cold rain. Beyond the railway station, the vast concrete morass of Soviet housing blocks extends into the horizon from the outer rungs of the city to the far-flung suburbs. To find a gay bar in Moscow without a guide is nearly impossible. The gay scene is a network of back-alley stairwells and unmarked doors. Storefronts are disguised as flower shops, trap doors lead to secret passages. There are only about a half-dozen such bars in this city of over 11 million, but that seems to be plenty.
With the West preparing to descend on Russia, determined to plant rainbow flags and deliver a message of solidarity to the country's troubled gay population, I have come on a hunch, unnerved by the media coverage that is either overly sentimental or sensationally victimizing. I've come for a glimpse into the ordinary lives of gay Russians, to understand what should be done to help — if anything at all. I didn't expect to return with an answer.
Until this point I have not been frightened to be an openly gay man traveling through Moscow. Granted, I have two things working for me: I'm a foreigner and I'm in a cosmopolitan city. The fear only comes when I check the American newspapers and see headlines using words like "crackdown" to frame the violence here as a sort of government-driven bullet train to genocide, when I see my friends on Facebook raging about the tyrannous state of things in Russia. That's when I question my safety, when I use more discreet language in my emails, when I become suspicious of people.
Winter always seems to come too early in Russia. I sleep through daylight's afternoon cameo and drive an hour outside the city through a beaten landscape of shopping malls, scrap yards, gaunt birch forests, and a low sky to Ilya's gay dacha compound for Sunday dinner. Inside a privacy wall that gives the property a fortress-like quality are three identical houses, a communal sauna, a fish pond, and a chicken coop. Eight other gay families live in the village nearby.
Sergey is a journalist who has been writing for Moscow newspapers since the days of Soviet censorship. Like many gay people, he's "not in the closet, but also not out," largely because even in Moscow there's always the possibility of losing your job for being gay. Since the summer he has been dissecting the paradoxes created by the antigay propaganda law and the media, particularly the entertainment industry, for a Moscow daily.
"From every corner of this country, on every TV station, all you hear is 'gay.' Such public attention to this topic has never occurred in Russia," he says. "So many people are interested in gay items, even people who didn't think about this before. The people who started this antigay law have contributed not so much against, but for gay propaganda. It's a good thing."
We're by the fireplace, amidst a harem of young guys in loungewear basking about the dacha like stoned housecats. I've caught the eye of a chiseled young blond from Belarus, a soldierly beauty with shoulders like polished stone and a tribal tattoo on his arm. But he's shackled to Nikolai, a bald, extremely fat, extremely rich Russian man of few words who doesn't take his eyes from the dinner plate.
The first course stretches along the table: wild Siberian mushrooms, European blood sausages, salted sturgeon, salmon caviar, and homemade bread. Sergey has known Ilya since 1994 when Ilya opened Russsia's first official gay bar, and comes to this dacha every Sunday for dinner. He's an unassuming man in dark glasses who shares my passion for hypocrisy. The story du jour involves the recent Eurovision Song Contest. This year's compe- tition, broadcast from Sweden on Russian state TV, was officially sponsored by an LGBT organization, and the finale even featured an onstage lesbian kiss, but rather than refusing to air the show, an act that would certainly have caused civil unrest, the state-run network pretended not to notice.
Above: Katia Andreeva and Maria Krilova, Moscow 2013
"This gay propaganda law is absolutely, 100% a project for uniting the conservative electorate; I guarantee you won't see one case implemented under this law," Sergey says.
Ilya is partial owner of Central Station, along with a handful of other clubs in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and continues to be one of the country's three major players in gay nightlife. He's a solid man with a blond crew cut, cerulean eyes, and a paunchy, bulldog face. He brags about his parents, who were famous Soviet scientists, and his cooking, and the lithographs on the dining room wall. I like Ilya; he is warm and proud.
"Putin does not care about gays. The government only cares about maintaining power," he tells me one night as we cruise down Tverskaya Street in his red Mazda Miata past a canyon of grim housing blocks revamped in Vegas-like glitz. "This is about suppression. It's funny when the gays say, 'We have to go into the streets,' because other people cannot go into the streets either. It's not just a gay thing."
Back in the city, I take the metro to meet the publishers of the websites Gay.ru and Kvir.ru. The orderliness and precision of the subway — a fraction of the size of New York's with twice the daily ridership — is dazzling. Every 90 seconds trains arrive, dispelling commuters who march silent and beetle-like through buzzing, ornate catacombs of chandeliers and gilded mosaics.
Mike Edemsky, who goes by the name Ed Mishin, greets me with coffee and a bowl of wafers. His five employees have gone home for the day. The office is in a spare bedroom of Edemsky's seventh-floor apartment in a nondescript residential tower in the far northwest corner of the city tucked behind a quiet street in a neighborhood of working families and pensioners. After the gay propaganda law passed, Kvir, which means "queer" in Russian, a print magazine with a monthly circulation of 35,000, was pulled from bookshelves nationwide and now lives on as a website.
Vlad, its editor-in-chief, looks a bit like a handsomer, able-bodied Stephen Hawking and Edemsky is grey, equally academic-looking, standoffish and wiry. Vlad's embarrassed of his struggling English, though it's still far better than my Russian, and insists Edemsky does the talking for him. During Soviet times the gay scene, absent any legal protection, looked virtually the same as it does now: a network of secret doors and closed parties. People talk about a costume designer for the Bolshoi who held salons in his apartment where he'd sew gowns for his friends and hold secret drag competitions. It was illegal to print the word homosexual, let alone have a gay-oriented press.
Above: Russian and U.S. journalist and author Masha Gessen (right), and family in Moscow.
Gay.ru began in 1997, when many gay Russians say the nonchalance of a newly freed people made life easier for them. They were also decadent years, with experimentation and few questions. It was a decade when average Russians believed gays existed only as a strange, bougeois Western phenomenon.
Today Gay.ru gets 50,000 daily hits, Kvir around 20,000. About every six months they might receive a harassing phone call. After the passage of the law in June, a government oversight committee investigated Gay.ru as a gay propagandizer but decided, since the site has an "over 18" sticker on its homepage, it could continue publishing whatever it wishes.
"Maybe tomorrow morning somebody will decide, 'Let's make this law more effective,' and in one hour every gay club in this country will be closed and all media shut down, and it will be absolutely legal because they have this law," Edemsky says. "We are sitting in the hole and waiting. Will the cat decide to go into the hole and eat the mice, or will it decide to keep us maybe for tomorrow's dinner?"
Tucked behind an apartment building about a kilometer from the Kremlin, a small glass storefront advertises flowers for sale. At night, the floor lifts up, revealing a stairwell that leads down to the gay club Nashe Kafe.
The club is a narrow rectangle with a small dance floor in the rear and a bar cut from the wall where a bartender rests his chin on his palm like a disaffected civil servant. The walls are black and the lights are blue, lavish red curtains frame the dining area, and the crowd is festive in silk shirts gyrating to Russian pop music. At all clubs, between shots of vodka, the gays, like their straight counterparts, eat meat and caviar all night long.
From a Muscovite's perspective the scene is rotten with provincial tourists from far-flung parts of Russia, recognizable in the ways all country people are: soft bodies, gnarled teeth, outdated haircuts, and tender smiles. From Volograd to deepest Siberia they touch down in droves, many of them very young and traveling under the guise of a cultural trip to the capital.
For the rest, an overarching joylessness, bred by isolation and familiarity, prevails. There are the cliques, petty prejudices, fistfights, and high drama that will be familiar to anyone who's spent time in rural gay bars in America. People can be aggressively inviting and highly sensitive. They are both ashamed and entranced by foreigners. They love drag queens. Darkrooms, where patrons elope for sex, are more public amenity than novelty.
A high degree of emotion is set free in the secret labyrinth of gay nightlife. There was Amin, a 21-year-old Muslim sex worker from Chechnya, a dapper, muscular, self-conscious little charmer with black eyes and acne-kissed cheeks who twice cried on my shoulder in the downstairs lounge at Central Station, a diner-like space varnished in Soviet manila. Both times were because a man had just rejected him for sex — not the paid kind. And Tatiana, the 40-year-old divorcee, her only friends a gaggle of 20-year-old hairdressers, also cried on me while recalling her ex-husband, and spent the night asking strangers for beers.
I was invited here by Vince, a preppy, clean-shaven American who is out tonight with three expatriate friends from Western countries. Vince and his friends have lived in Moscow for nearly a decade, have white-collar jobs, and are in their thirties or forties. I stand in a circular formation with the guys listening as they discuss their gay Russian lives for my benefit.
At left: Unnamed gay couple, Moscow, 2013
Vince: "They don't need a gay pride. It's way too early to talk about a gay pride when most people aren't even out to their closest friends."
Mark: "Don't you think there is more acceptance of us being gay than if it were one of their own? Because, as Westerners, they already think we're weird."
Vince: "A lot of them don't go out to the gay bars, they don't want to see someone they know. I also think a lot of it is snobbery. They'll go to gay bars in foreign countries but not at home."
Paul: "I'll tell you right now, they're all bottoms and they're all under 25 and they've all got amazing bodies because they don't eat."
Mark: "One of the reasons they're all under 25 is because the people who are over 30 are all weird, because they're from the Soviet Union, they're all cagey."
Zach: "In every Russian relationship there has to be a power dynamic, one who is the man, one who is the woman. You're never on equal footing."
Zach: "The relationships are fucked up and they are fraught with complexities."
Mark: "Dating a Russian has its own set of joys."
Vince: "And notice none of us are doing it."
We order a round of beers and the bartender changes the music from a Russian pop song about not having Wi-Fi to Madonna. Vince leans into me, "He did that because we're here." The dance floor clears in a heartbeat and the rippling silk shirts mope back to their meat plates.
Zach: "Most of the people in this country are probably secretly tolerant toward gay people. But they don't want a parade — gay people don't want a parade and straight people don't want a parade. A small group of people have hijacked the LGBT movement, and it's all ego-driven. Things change quickly in this country, and they are extremely rational, but things don't get done here by having a parade."
Vince: "You have a gay bar that is relatively openly gay just outside the Kremlin... That's activism."
Zach: "Russia is really good at enacting laws, but the people just do whatever they want. This country is lawless. There is a disconnect between society and politics. The propaganda law is disgraceful in what it represents, but the practical effect is still yet to be seen."
Mark: "Gay people have it so much worse in other parts of the world, but because Russia is a white country and we think we have white people figured out — how they're supposed to behave — we put European standards on them that simply don't apply. If you scratch the surface here, it's way more like China than Europe."
Vince: "And there's this huge rebirth of the Orthodox church here. I fucking hate it. This is used as justification for a lot of these laws."
Paul: "That's the whole hypocrisy of Russia. Religion was fucking banned, the most beautiful churches in this country were warehouses, left to fucking rot, and all of a sudden there's this fucking rise of religion."
Zach: "If you don't have a doctrine to subscribe to as a national identity, you have to create it. And if you wipe out 70 years of Soviet history, you need to go before then. You say, 'What were we before this?'"
Mark: "This is a country that is 96% Russian Orthodox and 100% atheist."
Zach: "The thing that's great about Russia, the reason we're all here, is that it's fucking fun. It's crazy, it's exciting, Russian people are off-the-wall. They're great and they're smart."

The night after the shooting at Central Station I phone Ilya. There were no injuries. The shots were fired into a wall at 5 a.m. when about 500 people were still inside the club. The police are investigating, but for Ilya there's no mystery: The purpose was coercion, not bloodshed. His landlords have been trying to strong-arm him into breaking his lease, which expires in 2017, in order to sell the property to a developer.
Three months ago they installed the large yellow sign that reads "Gay Bar Entrance" in Russian, and then a second sign, in neon pink lights: "Gay Bar," with an arrow pointing to the door. This was meant to intimidate customers. They intended to squeeze out Ilya financially. Instead, the signs have become a running joke for the hundreds of people who come here each week, and they're overlooked by the thousands more who pass by every day or wait for the bus across the street.
The following week there will be a second attack, this time involving poison gas, but again there will be no injuries or fatalities. Although being a gay establishment makes Central Station more vulnerable to brazen vigilantism, Ilya insists this has all the hallmarks of a business move, not a hate crime. He also has faith the police will take this investigation as seriously as any other, which may not say much.
Margret has a thing for cops. In Russian society, this makes her more perverted than any homosexual. She and I glide on a Muzak cloud through the GUM shopping mall past Louis Vuitton and Tiffany, looking for a place to eat and discuss genocide.
"There's nothing more preposterous than absurd, beastly homophobia in a country where the majority was brought up by same-sex couples, by mom and grandmom," she says.
Margret is a traumatized, petite, copper-haired woman who's lived in six war zones and done humanitarian work in over 50 countries. She's like a shell-shocked Amy Sedaris. If you crack a small joke she blinks and checks out the room before laughing.
"I'm surprised you showed up," she says to me, having already scolded me once via email for lapsed responses.
Born in the U.K. to diplomat parents (her father was the head of the Anglican church in Russia) and a demographer by training and criminology expert, Margret came to Russia just after the second Chechen war to address the sexual violence epidemic, though officially speaking there's no such thing, since the police don't keep rape statistics.
"There's no mystery about Russia's soul," she says. "It's a ghetto of troubled teenagers. If you go to a suburb of Paris populated by immigrants, or some ghettos in the United States, you see the exact same mentality. The question here is why is it on the scale of a whole nation?"
We've found a cafeteria where she's taken a sausage and a pickle, while I settle for a cup of coffee, and we go to a small table.
Above: Niuta Ginsburg and Lena Mastepanenko, Moscow, 2013
"Russia is dying," Margret proclaims. "It's like in Africa: They're all very religious and then they go and kill each other." She sees the level of criminal violence in Russia as a decentralized genocide. Ten years ago, the chief research gynecologist in Russia estimated that 250,000 women had become infertile because of sexual violence; the country has the world's highest abortion rate. Because there is embarassment around sex and a stigma in buying condoms, abortion is the most prevalent form of contraception. This also explains the country's mind-boggling HIV statistics: the infection rate is twice as high as the United States and, according to numbers released in December, 58% of cases result from intravenous drug use, 40% from heterosexual sex, and 2% from "other," which includes gay sex.
"I've traveled a lot around Russia, and the average 20-year-old, she's gone through two gang rapes and two abortions," she says. "So when gay friends tell me it's so hard for gays, I say it's not hard for gays. It's hard for anybody."
Margret moonlights as one of the most notorious gay rights activists in Russia, a movement that is dominated by heterosexuals, foreigners, and westernized Russians. She makes a hobby of sexually harassing police officers, whose slogan translates to "the competent organ of the state." She delights in asking scores of officers at political rallies just how competent that organ is.
"Nothing scares them more than being loved, because nobody has ever loved them," she says. Officers frequently get drunk and leave bawdy comments on her blog. In person they threaten to rape her, but they blush and bolt when she shrieks with delight.
It is here that I understand the incredible shortsightedness of gay civil disobedience in Russia. The country is maiming its women on a scale that connot be compared to the kind of violence seen in sporadic viral videos of neo-Nazis torturing gay people. Yet when the Olympics come there will be, inevitably, some activist waving a rainbow flag on camera. The West will cheer and pat itself on the back, while the whole of Russia will say, 'What a nice flag. I wonder what it means?'
And while it is not only women who are being slaughtered in Russia, it seems that, for a country which has never appreciated the need for a civil rights movement (after all, the premise of communism, falsely it turns out, is to treat all people as equal), protecting women seems like a viable, digestable starting point for making life better for all. If the country can be convinced to protect one population, it can be convinced to protect others. Until then, the most effective action gay people can take will occur on the grassroots level, by simply coming out to their friends, families, and coworkers. This is how change happens and continues to happen in the United States — not with a parade, but with a tap on the shoulder.
I excuse myself to go to the bathroom. When I return, I notice the thin man in the suit who was eating lunch at the table behind Margret is now one table closer, with a new plate of food. He's been here for our entire two-hour chat.
"Do you recognize him?" I whisper.
She considers this. "Doesn't look like FSB to me," she whispers back. "But sometimes they use outsiders so you can't recognize them." The man at the table gives us a sidelong look and slowly chews his mashed potatoes. I'm convinced it's time to go, but Margret laughs it off. "They won't do anything to you," she says, "They just want information."
We head to the street and I abandon an annoyed Margret at the metro and meander a quarter-mile down the way to a gift shop where I purchase a coffee mug depicting a rifle-toting, bare-chested Vladimir Putin and a refrigerator magnet that reads "I Love Moscow." I thank the lady and, without looking behind me, go through a passageway to the Russian state library. I take self-portraits in front of the statue of Dostoevsky, to appear as dopey and unthreatening as possible. I admire the concrete and photograph the lawn. I look over my shoulder. The thin man in the suit is nonchalantly there, gazing off into the granite sky.

EADS North America confirms it has submitted a bid to build one of two advanced-rotorcraft technology demonstrators planned under the the US Army's Joint Multi Role (JMR) program -- putting its foot on the first rung of a ladder that could lead to replacing all of the Army's UH-60 Black Hawks and AH-64 Apaches beginning in the mid-2030s.
EADS is not saying what configuration it has proposed for JMR, but the Army's Aviation Applied Technology Directorate has called for a cruise speed of 230kt -- 50% faster that a conventional helicopter -- so it is likely to be based on Eurocopter's X3 hybrid helicopter technology demonstrator, which has reached 232kt in flight tests.
Concept: Eurocopter
It is a bold move by EADS, which so far has restricted itself to offering existing platforms to the Pentagon (Eurocopter EC145-based UH-72 successfully, Airbus A330-based KC-46 unsuccessfully and now the EC145-based AAS-72 ... well, wait and see). The JMR technology demonstrators are to fly in 2017 as a precursor to the planned Future Vertical Lift (FVL) medium utility program to develop a replacement for the UH-60 to be fielded from 2035.
Boeing and Sikorsky have already teamed to offer a JMR demonstrator based on Sikorsky's X2 high-speed coaxial-rotor compound helicopter configuration, which has exceeded 260kt in flight tests. Bell Helicopter has proposed a tiltrotor and AVX Aircraft has offered a coaxial-rotor, dual ducted-fan design.
Talking to Boeing and Sikorsky a week or so ago, Sikorsky's military head Samir Mehta asked if we were surprised when the companies in January announced their long-term teaming on JMR and FVL. I said I was more surprised that the Army would allow its two major helicopter suppliers to team for its biggest-ever rotorcraft program. What about competition?
Mehta replied that he expected Eurocopter, through EADS North America, to provide the competition the Army needs. And he has been proved right. But building a technology demonstrator for the US Army could be a much bigger step for EADS than modifying the commercial EC145 into the light-utility UH-72, and now the armed-scout AAS-72.
And, before you all say the Army would never buy a troop-carrying helicopter with propellers whirling right next to the cabin doors, here is a US patent application from 2010 that shows Eurocopter has some other ideas on how a X3-style compound helicopter could be configured:

Palo Alto Online Sports
The high school swim year seems to be one big tuneup after another as athletes prepare for the season-ending Central Coast Section championships, which are still a month away in Santa Clara.
The Palo Alto and Gunn boys and girls continued their tuneups Wednesday in their annual dual-meet showdowns in the SCVAL De Anza Division. The Vikings appear in good shape following a 130-56 victory by the boys and a 125-61 triumph by the girls.
"A very good tuneup," Paly coach Danny Dye said. "Everyone swam well today."
That meet, however, was just a warmup for Saturday's annual Section Challenge at Palo Alto, where the Paly girls will defend their title against some of the top teams in Northern California, including San Ramon Valley.
The Paly boys, meanwhile, stand a good chance of moving up from last year's eighth-place finish while taking on SRV and Sacred Heart Prep in the field that includes top teams from the CCS and North Coast Section.
The Section Challenge, which gets under way at 9 a.m., saw 10 meet records fall last season. Paly has two athletes who could rewrite some of those marks in junior Jasmine Tosky and freshman Andrew Liang.
Tosky won the girls' 200 free and 500 free at the 2010 Section Challenge. She set a meet record of 1:50.12 in the 200 free and just missed in the 500 free while winning in 4:51.35. She tuned up for those same events by winning them against Gunn -- clocking a sizzling 1:48.23 in the 200 and cruising to a 5:05.97 triumph in the 500.
"Her talent level is so good," Dye said, "that when she rests and tapers, she can swim anything."
And, more important, threaten just about any record. She currently holds five individual school records and swam on three relays that also established school marks. Her school marks in the 200 and 500 frees are 1:44.11 (a state record) and 4:43.96, respectively.
"Jasmine has learned so much and just applied it," Dye explained.
Following in Tosky's record-breaking swim strokes is Liang, who is just beginning to scratch the surface of his talent. Against Gunn, Liang sped to a sizzling 21.88 clocking while winning the 50 free and cruised to a 50.85 win in the 100 free.
He shattered Paly freshman records earlier this season with times of 21.72 and 48.98 in those events against Lynbrook in only his third meet.
"He still has to learn how to compete," Dye said of Liang. "He's a natural, just like Jasmine. He'll be the next great sprinter in the CCS."
Liang already is on his way toward taking down school records of 21.47 in the 50 free and 45.55 in the 100, both by 2009 grad Mark Higgins. The meet records at the Section Challenge are 21.46 for the 50 and 47.17 in the 100 (by Higgins).
Liang's 50 time against Gunn would have gotten him second in the Challenge last year. His season-best of 21.72 would have been good for fifth at CCS in 2010.
Other Paly boys figuring to make a splash Saturday include junior Byron Sanborn, junior Rollin Lau, freshman William Lee and perhaps senior D.J. Fotsch. Sanborn (200 IM, 100 breast) and Lau (200 free, 500 free) were double-winners against Gunn while Fotsch won the 100 fly and Lee took the 100 back.
Sanborn finished third at the Challenge last season in 1:00.44 and went on to win the CCS title in a personal best of 57.75 to rank No. 2 in school history behind Jeff Hopwood's CCS record of 55.91 from 1998.
Also hoping to make a splash Saturday will be Paly seniors Sabrina Lee and Sarah Liang, plus junior Margaret Wenzlau, among others. Liang (not related to Andrew) won the 200 IM (2:10.39) and 100 breast (1:08.35) against Gunn while Wenzlau took the 50 free (25.05) and 100 fly (57.78). Lee won the 100 back (1:00.51) and swam on two winning relays, including a 3:36.10 sizzler in the 400 free that was very fast for a dual meet.
Liang won 200 IM (2:05.18) and the 100 breast (1:05.73) at the Section Challenge last season while Wenzlau tied for second in the 50 free (24.87) and was third in the 100 fly while Lee was fourth in the 100 back (59.83).
The Sacred Heart Prep boys were third at the Challenge last season and return junior Tom Kremer, who set a school record and meet record while winning the 100 back in 51.33. He also took second in the 200 free before going on to win CCS titles in both events.
Sacred Heart Prep freshman Ally Howe also should make a big splash on Saturday. She already has broken four school records this season -- 2:04.68 in the 200 breast, 56.19 in the 100 fly, 57.51 in the 100 back and 1:52.39 in the 200 free.
Gunn will not be competing Saturday. The Titans wrapped up their dual-meet seasons against Paly, the girls going 5-1 while the boys finished 3-3.
Gunn was missing a handful of swimmers, out with injury or illness, and won just two of 24 events for the boys and girls combined. The Gunn victories came in the girls' 100 free, where junior Rachel Acker held off teammate Julia Ama, 52.08 to 52.93, and in the 200 free relay where the team of Acker, Christine Prior, Ama and Casey Lincoln clocked a fast 1:38.99.
Gunn junior Emily Watkins pushed Paly's Sarah Liang to the finish line in a competitive 100 breast, with Watkins second in 1:08.44, just nine hundreds of a second out of the top spot. Gunn junior Aaron McGill was second in the 200 free (1:54.85) and second in the 100 fly (57.81) to pace the boys.
The Paly girls improved to 5-0 in league (7-0 overall) while the Viking boys are now 4-1 (6-1) with a final league dual meet against visiting Saratoga next Thursday.
The SCVAL De Anza Division championships will be May 6 at Saratoga, just another tuneup before the CCS finals at the George F. Haines International Swim Center on May 21.

rec. Abbaye de Noilac, Bruère-Allichamps, France, 23-27 April 2011.
Booklet with texts and translations included
There are a number of recordings of the main work, the Prolation Mass: from the Hilliard Ensemble (a Virgin Veritas budget twofer, 6284922), Schola Cantorum Stuttgart (4 CDs at budget price, Brilliant Classics 94267 review but NB incorrect catalogue number given there, I think*), Musica Ficta (Naxos 8.554260) and a recording from the Clerks Group on ASV which is not generally available, though copies are offered online for as much as £55.
Its far from easy music to perform, owing to the considerable technical difficulties of the double canons on which its based, the prolations of the title, and the ASV recording from 1996 was generally considered successful in bringing the technicalities off while sustaining the listeners interests in the music. Thats always a problem with music of this complexity from the early renaissance, one that is shared with some of the music of Ockeghems disciple, Josquin, as in his mirror-canon writing in the Missa sine nomine and Missa ad fugam.
The Tallis scholars provide an excellent balance between the virtuosity of the writing and the accessibility of the music in those two Josquin works (CDGIM039) and they have recorded two masses by Ockeghem (CDGIM035), so Id like to hear them tackle the Missa prolationum some day.
I havent heard the ASV version, so its a shame that it isnt currently available, either in single-disc format or in the 5-CD box in which it once came. The Hilliard Ensemble version, however, thankfully remains available and theirs is the version to match. When it first appeared at full price on EMI Reflexe in 1989 it was regarded as an essential purchase for lovers of late medieval/early renaissance music and its even more so at budget price, coupled with Ockeghems Requiem, Missa mi mi and five motets, one of which is now no longer attributed to Ockeghem. It can be yours for even less by downloading from sainsburysentertainment.co.uk for £4.99.
The Hilliards adopt slightly faster tempi than Ensemble Musica Nova, both in the Mass where they take 34:31 against 40:45, and in the two motets which are common to both recordings. Em Marshall-Luck was a little hard on this recording review finding a certain lack of imagination, colour, drive and incisiveness. For my money the Hilliards do demonstrate those qualities; in fact, they shape the line right from the opening Kyrie eleison beautifully and in that regard I prefer them to the new recording. Their diction, too, is clearer, though its an inescapable fact that the words are not always easy to hear in polyphonic music, one reason why both the 16th-century reformers and the Council of Trent sought to curb some of the more elaborate forms. Fortunately composers such as Palestrina and Byrd were able to come to terms with the new rules and still produce first-class music.
I know that there are those who intensely dislike the u in words like Agnus Dei being pronounced in the French manner, as Ensemble Musica Nova do we dont know how it was pronounced in the late 14th-century, but it seems not unreasonable to use the modern French u. The Hilliards, on the other hand, though they employ a more open u, may offend others by employing a fairly hard gn rather than the Italianate ñ sound. Most listeners will take both in their stride.
The Hilliard Ensembles recording may be over 20 years old, but it still sounds fresh, with a nice open acoustic, whereas that on the new recording sounds rather more enclosed and reverberant, though by no means muddy. Though thats meant as a comparison rather than a criticism, you may expect me to plump firmly for the older, less expensive alternative. Certainly I doubt whether you would feel hard done by if you invested around £8 in that 2-CD Virgin set (or £4.99 on the download), but the advantages are not all one-way. For a start, Virgin twofers are notoriously mean on notes and texts are non-existent and I gather from Em Marshall Lucks review that the Ockeghem is no exception; with the download you wont even get the skimpy notes that accompany the CDs.
The AgOgique booklet by comparison thats how they spell their name, with upper-case O is a luxury illustrated item, the kind of thing that you might expect from Hyperion, with scholarly notes on such matters as mensuration canons. You dont have to read, much less understand, all that to appreciate the music, but its well worth having.
Whereas the Hilliards give the music greater impetus, which I generally prefer, I cant deny that theres an attractive nobility to the music in the new performances. AgOgique quote a glowing review on their website which describes this recording as une version de référence qui permet plus encore de découvrir la richesse de ce maître du contrepoint. Id certainly go along with the second half anyone listening to this new recording certainly has a good opportunity to discover the rich music of this master of counterpoint without quite accepting the assertion that this is a benchmark or reference recording. That benchmark, for me, remains with the Hilliard Ensemble. If possible, listen to it from Naxos Music Library before making up your mind; their recording of the Agnus Dei from the Missa prolationum also features on an inexpensive EMI twofer, Essential Renaissance, which I reviewed some time ago.
* two dealers websites give 94267 as the number.

Virtualbox – Run Windows on Mac and Linux on Mac for Free
You can do virtually anything on a Mac that you can do with a PC, Office Suites, Photoshop, Programming, Itunes, etc… But every once and a while there is something that comes up that requires a machine running Windows, or possibly even Linux.

The Debate
Working in the IT world and being a Mac user, I am constantly asked the question "Should I get a Mac"? As if there was any question. Today I will briefly share my reasoning with you. When someone asks that question the only right response would be to ask a question in return, "What do you use your computer for"? If they only use their current computer to play old DOS games then they should probably stick with the computer that they have. But if they use windows at all, and still have a pulse, then there is a high probability that they could benefit from switching. With... Read More

I create images and short films that make companies look great.
(And I drink way too much coffee.)
Even more about us...
Blake Discher specializes in photographing people for editorial, advertising and corporate clients. He combines his professional experience and photographic knowledge with today's technology to create lasting iconic images. His work can be found in leading editorial publications and in advertising and annual reports for Fortune 500 corporations worldwide.
On a tight deadline? That's no problem because Blake photographs people using digital equipment and can provide immediate turnaround of ultra-high resolution images for immediate evaluation and inclusion into your layout. Blake keeps himself at the forefront of technological advances that effect the industry and and is a highly sought after lecturer on this topic to industry groups nationwide. The Detroit News recognized Blake as a pioneer in the use of digital technology in the corporate photography arena.
He'll make you look great; Blake and his staff understand your desire to produce an award-winning annual report, brochure, or corporate publication. He and his team will help you do just that. His capabilities and experience allow him to easily work with busy executives and his team's ability to assist with makeup, styling or any issues that may arise unexpectedly enables him to create lasting images for your use.
Blake, a Michigan corporate photographer, has worked hard to make his web site innovative and interesting. There's a gallery of Blake's personal work that features images he creates purely to satisfy his passion for photography.
Now a bit about Firefly Studios' location, just because we think it's one of the best spots in the city! The studio is located in Detroit, Michigan historic Eastern Market, a true farmer's market that to this day receives and distributes a vast amount of fruit, meat products and other foodstuffs to southeastern Michigan. If you visit, arrive early and take in the sights and sounds of the market; Saturdays are best for walking around and people watching. Have breakfast at the Russell Street Deli, located just below the studio, it's consistently rated among the best delicatessens in the area. Across the street is Hirt's, boasting an amazing selection of cheeses and gourmet foods from around the world. Want a burger for lunch? Then head over to Vivio's Bar, right next to Hirt's. For fine wines, it's Cost Plus Wine Shoppe, also across the street. Ask for Tim McCarthy, an Irishman with a penchant for wine and conversation. He'll help you select the perfect bottle for any occasion.
There are different types of Detroit people photographers with different styles of corporate photography. My personal preference is to create corporate photographs or an executive portrait that has a lot of life. The best executive headshots is one with warmth. Professional portrait photography has shifted gears in the last few years. The kind of corporate photo that's in demand is no longer posed; rather, the best business headshot seems to create a window into the portraits taker's personality. Corporate head shots are usually done on location in the building of your company with studio lighting. Click here to read a great case study!
A typical corporate portraits session would include shooting ten or more people at the same location on the same day, to help keep costs down. If natural light portrait photography is preferred, it is offered as an option if the company location is appropriate, otherwise, most Detroit executive portrait photographers bring studio lighting to give corporate photographs the formality they need. For the best corporate lawyer photo, a lawyer photographer may sometimes do a variety of both natural and studio light giving the client professional portraits that have a lot more range. Here are some examples.
Detroit videographer Blake Discher will almost always bring a crew consisting of a makeup artist and assistant to help with the shoot. The assistant helps with transporting and setting up lights for the portable business portrait studio and the makeup artist helps you look as good as you can for camera without looking like you have any makeup on. Even a corporate photo needs a little makeup. If you wish to have aDetroit video production with the same results as those you see in my porfolio, makeup is very much a part of the end result.
Detroit Editorial Photographers
Detroit editorial photographers offer many approaches to assignments. Most Detroit photographers, including myself, provide online proof sheets for viewing images. Any CDs with professional corporate photography are custom made to order depending on whether or not you need master files for press or publication, or if you need files for web use only. Most executive photography packages include at least one professional corporate head shot that's been lightly retouched. And here is another case study you may enjoy! -067-

WCWE Addendum
KC Green draws outstanding comics. His myriad of websites are all among my favorites ever. Please go to his site and visit his odd collection of satellite-websites like horribleville and gunshow and please read all of the comics there at once.
I bumped into him on the street the first night of the weekend when everyone was roving around the town under varying magnitudes of inebriation and chilliness. I recognized him and proceeded to orbit about his radiant, molten core of affability, but I did not introduce myself. Later in the evening I mumbled my name, and he recognized it, and offered a hug to celebrate the recognition. It was not because he was inebriated; the beverage in his hand was a root beer you see. Neither was it on account of chilliness. He's just a hella nice guy!
I also met Zach Weiner, which was another high point. He does SMBC, which is a comic that has the uncanny ability to be EXTREMELY FUNNY on EVERY SINGLE OCCASION IT UPDATES, which is JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY. Zach was also all hells of cool and drew me a picture of a llama with a brain in a jar for a head. I'll keep it folded in my breast pocket for the rest of my life, until one day it takes a bullet for me. The very bullet which passes clean through it and into my heart, rendering me not alive anymore.
There was also a gentleman named John Keogh who does a comic called Lucid TV, which I had not read before. I just checked it out and it is quite funny! You should check it out too.
This encounter was precipitated because he said hello and told me he liked my work. Not MSPA in this case, but a comic I used to do a while ago called Humanimals. I'm always impressed when someone has heard of Humanimals before, and I am downright flabbergasted when people tell me they actually like it. Here's a sample if you care to trespass into...
I'll shut my flowery trap this once. It is a comic about nude men with hooves and udders and stuff. They work in an office and they are always happy.
9 comments:
Oh, Humanimals. Definitely a highlight, if a strange and creepy one. I'm pretty sure I've read every scrap of work by you I can find for free by now, and only because I have less money than those panhandlers who make themselves out to be suffering. I assure you the full copy of Whistles will be mine when I possess the funds.
That wasn't really relevant, was it?

I actually recognized that comic.
I have it saved into my computer in a folder named /cool/ under a strange series of numbers.
If you are familiar with images with strange series of numbers as names, then you may recognize where I found this image.
I looked for more by typing "men-horses giving apples to horse-men" or quite typically "a centaur giving an apple to edward" and nothing relevant appeared.
Defeated, I let it live in my /cool/ folder as such, and allowed it to prosper with my other numbers-as-titles files.
I feed it a regular view from my eyes, and it always brings a laugh.
If I had known you had done this, I would have probably acted like R. North for a while.
- March 24, 2009 at 1:14 AM
Humananimals is the scariest sh*t I've ever seen. My eyes were wracked by voluminous man-breasts and frightening-faced beasts. I might have just witnessed hell for a minute.
I'm so glad that you started something less scary looking.
- March 24, 2009 at 1:27 PM
- Cthulhuigi said...
Humanimals is pretty much my favorite comic. The next MSPA should be about them.
- March 24, 2009 at 1:34 PM
I never know where Andrew is going with all the borderline-gayporn references. Is it to be shocking, funny or is he into that...uhm...kind-o thing?
I don't know what to think. Lol.
- March 24, 2009 at 2:31 PM
I was always bigger on Riddler's Gammon, myself.
- March 24, 2009 at 8:37 PM
- Rei said...
Humanimals? Oh geez. I... I had no idea you were behind that... that thing. I am, in the truest sense of the term, shocked and awed.
- March 25, 2009 at 4:33 AM
- Skeeter said...
I remember reading Humanimals and laughing almost constantly. My favorite of those old comics is definitely Inappropriate Time for Ham, however. And It Don't Stop is my favorite of the longer comics.

I can see why the guy who did Lucid TV would like this.

Eagles players, including Michael Vick himself, may think the starting quarterback job is Vick's to lose.
But Eagles coach Chip Kelly downplayed any suggestion there's a clear favorite at this point, and did nothing to diminish the possibility that rookie Matt Barkley is firmly in the mix with Vick and Nick Foles.
Asked about Vick getting most of the practice reps with the ones, Kelly quickly asserted the depth chart wasn't so fixed at the moment.
"He hasn't," Kelly said, via Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly.com. "Someone charted them, I would imagine. He and Nick switched to different groups, so that's what we did.
"I mean, it could have been 48 to 52 [percent], but we'll count them up. Again, it's May 13. We're just trying to get reps off and trying to get film and look at it. To your original question, 'What would I make of it?' It's May 13 and we've got a long ways to go before we ever set a depth chart or do anything like that."
The longer it remains an open competition — and there's no indication Kelly intends to call it too soon — the longer Barkley will have a real chance.
Barkley said last week he was there to compete for the starting job, and Kelly clearly didn't do anything to diminish that.
"I would hope anybody that came into this place isn't sitting here and saying, 'I think I'm going to be a really good, solid backup,'" Kelly said, via Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News. "I want guys to come in here and show us everything that they can do, and our job as a coaching staff is to put the best guys on the field the first game against Washington.
"If that's Matt, that's Matt, so we'll see how that goes. But if anybody came in here and said they were really vying for a backup job, then they would probably be on the bus down [Interstate] 95 pretty quick."
Among the many changes Kelly's bringing to the Eagles, he's clearly trying to foster competition, and he's doing it from the top down.
