Messe Frankfurt, one of the world's leading tradeshow organizers, presented Tendence just last week, from August 26-30 in Frankfurt, Germany.
This international accessory and gift show brought something to the table for everyone from holiday themes, to brand new material uses (at the preview to the Materials Revisited exhibition) and innovative furniture pieces in the students' Talents section.
A major trend Interiors & Sources identified at the show, was something we are dubbing "light bundling." Many exhibitors (not even just lighting-specific ones) were displaying groupings or "bundles" of chunky and bold shades and sculptures, such as the ones shown below:
One World Interiors
Romi Amsterdam
And for the first time this year, the show took on a partner country in Austria. Specially designed stands, showcases and events honored the country and its culture, design and even cuisine.
The following are our top 10 stand-outs from the show that could make a nice fit into our beloved world of commercial design.
1. florian schulz
The Go light from florian schulz licht & object can be either hung from the ceiling (again, in a grouping, seen here) or featured in the floor lamp version. Sleek and uniquely shaped, the dropped oval fixture is reminiscent of dangling pearl earrings.
2. Magno
The wooden radios and accessories from Magno bring the classic and modern together with a vintage design and the warmth of wood as a material. Each piece is handmade in just 16 hours, and there are five models: the wooden radio wr01a-2Bipod; wooden radio mini; wooden radio cube; klock 01; the desktop set. The wr01a-2Bipod and the cube offer connections for the iPod® or MP3 player, respectively.
3. Pulpo
The Drop L and XL coat hanger from Pulpo comes in a variety of bright candy colors and is made of powder-coated steel. Appearing like dripping paint on the wall, it adds character and playfulness to any early education project.
4. Philippi
This deconstructionist vase by Philippi re-thinks the traditional flower-holder and gives the impression of individual sprouts coming to life. The glass base has brass chrome-plated stalks for holders.
5. Henry Dean
This Belgian company actually got its start fabricating plastic flowers for funeral wreaths. You'd never know it though by the products they're putting out today, selling into markets as far as Hong Kong. Today, Henry Dean specializes in glass. These multi-colored sculptures can have a number of functions from seating, to display.
6. Via® cement tiles
These cement tiles by Via not only utilize a different material for the category but also feature retro patterns that are bright and sunny.
7. The Moody Couch
The Moody couch by Hanna Emelie Ernsting was a break out star in the student Talents section and the product is already on a viral streak. According to Ernsting's web site, users "liked," commented and reblogged the product more than 39,000 times in just two weeks. You'll never get bored with this piece as it comes to rest in a different position almost every time, thanks to its bulky and cozy cover piece that serves as upholstery and blanket.
8. Patrycja Domanska Edgy tiles
Another standout in the Talents section was Patrycja Domanska's "Edgy" three-dimensional tiles. These asymmetrical pieces can be positioned in a variety of formats to create unique experiences in any room.
9. Stephan Seyffert lights
These quirky lighting pieces from Stephen Seyffert are made from aluminum and were part of the Materials Revisited presentation. This section was a preview for the exhibition about new fabrication techniques, to be held at the Museum for Applied Art in Frankfurt am Main starting Oct. 5, 2011.
10. TotalStone® panel system
The TotalStone panel system can reproduce the exact texture and color of a variety of materials, such as brick, slate, stone and wood. From panels to vaults, to arches and angles, the company can create spaces with an industrial, textured look, minus the price of the real thing. With both exterior and interior applications it has insulation, fire retardant and water absorption properties.

Kylie, where are my love letters, damnit?

Kylie, where are my love letters, damnit?
2. I wouldn't do it because I'd be consumed by guilt and also I have the weakest gag relex and would vomit. I'd murder a child serial rapist and I would do it a la this movie I saw where I chop them up and feed them to pigs.
3. Nickleback. I'm sure there is a band I hate worse than this, but someone blasted this outside my apartment window a few weeks ago. Also, I posted the status updates from the girl that was a dedicated Nickleback. So much so that she passed out at one of their concerts and got a signed poster. Yea fuck them.
4. Britney Spears. Specifically, Black Out. I think there are some quality pop songs on that album and it wall well produced. I'm okay with it.
There is nothing to feel guilty about re: Blackout.
No one steal my stock question. I have to go somewhere but I'll be back.
You're going to die peacefully in 15 minutes. What are the last songs you want to hear?
2. I'd take the frat bros because fist-pumping gets me off.
3. A raptor vs. a young mammoth. First of all these two animals are both extinct so that alone would be awesome. Also, I feel like raptors would be super fast, so they'd have the advantage there. An adult mammoth could probably crush a raptor easily, so obviously a younger one would have to do. Power vs. speed.
4. I would've said Wickerman because
but now I will go with Drive Angry.
minoguecommak- my name is Kylie and growing up my nickname was Minogue.
thecapsulettes- there was some kind of video project that used this name, I think. I honestly have no idea.
Give us an idea of the kind of music you were listening to generally a year or so before you became involved with Coachella/the message board.
Also, if I'm getting sexy with a fella boxers are okay and dandy. I don't care for briefs much. Boxer briefs are the sexiest, though.
Mogwai- Hunted by a Freak
Gus Gus- Is Jesus Your Pal? (This would be awesomely creepy to die to.)
The first two I am pretty positive on. There are just so many factors, I think. It depends on if I was embracing death or not ready to die.
So I get that you're an attention whore and I assume you have posted pictures left and right and I know I have seen some. But for the sake of my laziness and as a summary of your attention whoredom, could you (or somebody else) please post a compilation of pictures of you?
Please arrange the following in order of how much you think they can/could bench at the height of their time in the public eye:
Elaine Stritch
Mother Teresa
J. Goebbels
J. Geils
Backin' Up Diana from Autotune The News
Paula Small
Anderson Cooper
Who's anna paquin?
That was...an odd question.
I like to think of her best as the coked up teen prostitute in Hurlburly
Her name is in my signature.
And Hannah, I need a bit of time on yours.
How do you feel about pancakes?
Please describe, to us all, your perfect day. From the moment you open your eyes to the moment you leave your adoring fans and crawl back into bed.
If you could produce a series of half-hour infomercials, what five products or services do you feel so strongly about that you would want to promote? Who would be your celebrity (or former celebrity) guests?
What were the best and worst dates you've ever been on?
Have you ever been to (or through) New Mexico? Please talk about your experience, however brief it may have been.
Shady Maple in Lancaster that makes unlimited pancakes to order. They have like 30 different types of pancakes you can order. It's overwhelming and delicious.
Can someone provide me with a link to kid Hannah photoshop? I need it for a question. Particularly the skull one.
Oh, Jesus...unlimited pancakes made to order. Nom nom nom.
If I have time I'd go to a museum.
Basically, my perfect day would include my family, friends, music, and great food. I also love to cook for people I care about, so that is really important.

It's supposed to be a civil duty any upstanding citizen would greet with open arms, and a bit of fun. But in today's overstressed workplace, where missing even one day behind the cubicle means a mad dash to catch up the following day, jury duty is almost universally avoided and loathed. Reginald Rose's teleplay "Twelve Angry Man," inspired by the writer's own experience deliberating a trial, shows why anyone averse to arguments and conflict might feel the same way. Each of the twelve men serving duty are reduced to numbers 1 through 12, remain in one room throughout, and must agree on the guilt or innocence of a teenage boy accused of murdering his father. West Jordan Theater Arts' production promises to be as bracing and tense as the 1954 version that debuted on the television series "Studio One," and then some. It went on to earn three Emmy Awards for Rose, the director and ensemble cast member Robert Cummings. If you have kids unfamiliar with drama, whether on stage or television, now's your chance to take them in tow to give them a good, old-fashioned dose of vintage theater many people have forgotten. In the words of the presiding judge, Rose's work is one to "deliberate earnestly and thoughtfully."
Reginald Rose's "Twelve Angry Men" at West Jordan City Hall
When » March 16-26, 7:30 p.m.
Where » West Jordan City Hall, 8000 S. Redwood Road, West Jordan.

When I play the slots and I click on the spin button on the bottom left side of the screen the roulette spins and comes to a complete stop on a dollar amount and a second later it jumps to number for moving your game piece. This has done this to me at least 20 times. This is clearly cheating and dishonest!!! They are always asking for customers to help them out with a purchase of their products....

10.5: Quicken Scheduler breaks Front Row
My experience is a bit different. I do have Quicken Updates in background. I launched Front Row just to see what I could do with it on my remote-less G5. Front Row does launch, but doesn't do anything--doesn't work with the keyboard at all, or the mouse. Also doesn't quit with Command-Q.

In the aftermath of the Houston Dynamo managing to turn a 2-0 lead into a 4-2 loss, our co-editor Leopold Ponce takes a look at what happened.
Let's be honest for a second. If you go back and watch the first 30 minutes against Toronto. It is true that the Dynamo were leading 2-0. However, I cannot say that they were actually dominating. It may have looked like Houston was always on the attack, however, that same urgency that made them look so good ended up being their downfall.
When the Dynamo had possession of the ball they quickly launched into the attack. It worked to take the lead, but it started magnifying their weaknesses. It quickly became apparent that the Dynamo were ineffective in setting up an attack in the final third outside of the flanks.
This has been apparent to every Houston fan the whole season, and to other teams that have faced us. This was the first meeting against Toronto and they weren't prepared for that at first. Eventually, though, Houston showed its hands and any effective attack was squandered.
Even when Houston was attacking on all cylinders, that urgency was not necessarily a good thing. Houston's attacks left them open for counters. All Toronto had to do was be patient and eventually opportunities were going to come. Oh boy did those chances eventually come.
The Dynamo gave up too much space attacking instead of actually trying to hold possession and slow the game down. Houston was in the lead, they had no reason to be playing at a quick pace. It almost seemed like they wanted to exercise all of their demons in one single game.
I know that hindsight is always 20/20 but through analysis of past mistakes we can become better. If it was apparent to a schmuck like me that Houston needed to try to hold possession to slow down the game since Toronto was looking more and more dangerous as the game went on, then why wasn't this apparent to Dominic Kinnear and the rest of the Houston Dynamo?
Individuals Shine as Team Falls
In my previous article about the Houston Dynamo's identity crisis, I brought up how Houston was not really a team and just a string of individual performances. This game only proved that even more. Brad Davis has had an assist or goal in the past 8 games that he's been able to start in. That's great for Brad Davis, nobody on this team deserves more praise than he does. However, that's not what should be happening.
We have become to dependent on him. Dependence on Davis only showcases how Boniek being played in the center is muting his performances. Since, Oscar Boniek Garcia is being played in a position he's less effective in, he cannot take away some of the pressure Davis currently has. Eventually a time will come when Davis will not be able to either score a goal or get an assist in a game. Once that time arrives, we will need somebody to be there to do it.
Giles Barnes had a superb game against Toronto. He assisted Davis on both goals. If a forward is not scoring, but is at least helping others score by getting assists or opening space for others by pulling away defenders, then he is doing his job. He's been making great runs at goal all season, and starting off offensive plays.
This game showcased what Barnes has been doing all season. He often gets criticized for not scoring goals, but it cannot be denied that he has been an integral part of this season. If we are this bad with him, I don't even want to imagine how horrible we would be without him.
Early Urgency Comprises Defenders
That urgency that I spoke about early in the game ended up costing Houston the game in multiple ways. It not only allowed Toronto the space to attack us on the counter, but it also forced our defenders to slow down attacks by committing fouls.
Eventually, these fouls caused defenders to get early yellows. By the end of the first half, three out of four players in our back line had yellow cards. No defender can be expected to go all out after being cautioned. It's a shock that nobody was ejected. However, it did comprise Houston to the point that eventually Toronto took the lead and scored another one for insurance purposes.
Our defense also gave up tons of space in the final third by not spreading themselves out more. They were bunched up and defending attacks coming from the middle, while leaving the flanks open for attacks.
Another instance that showed some ineffective defending was the fact that Defoe was not double teamed throughout the whole game. When he was in the attack, more than one player should have been marking him. This is exactly what eventually led to the tying goal and goals in the end for the Toronto victory.
Other Notes
We cannot ignore Tally Hall's spill that led to the tying goal either. He had the ball in his hand but let it spill for an easy goal. Hall has been a good goalkeeper for Houston, and without him we would have allowed more goals this season. That does not mean, however, that we can overlook his mistakes.
His positioning has been off in some games, and if it weren't for his amazing shot-stopping ability and reflexes more goals would have been scored on him. Hall cannot distribute the ball effectively and in some instances his lack of distribution has led to some mistakes in which he has practically started off attacks for our opponents.
Houston's depth should also be noted. If somebody like Servando Carrasco is coming off the bench just to make horrible passes that lead to goals, then we cannot be expected to get any victories when our starting eleven isn't performing on all cylinders.
I won't touch on Bruin's performances because I'm already under fire for doing so, but he did play a role early in the game by pulling defenders his way and making decent passes. However, he was a non-factor for the rest of the game.
We are now faced with the task of trying to get two victories out of every three games in order to contend for a playoff spot. Let's see if this is possible, but I am not holding my breath.
