Livia Firth's Oscar Gown - a "Green" Triumph or a Vintage Tragedy?
At the 2011 Golden Globes, Livia wore a gown made of sustainable Ahimsa silk (peace silk) designed by Jeff Garner of Prophetik.
At the 2010 Oscars, Livia wore a gown by Orsela de Castro of From Somewhere, who uses the scraps from other clothing factories to make her creations.
For this year's Oscars, Livia hired designer Gary Harvey to make her gown. Mr. Harvey has become well known for his designs using up-cycled used clothing. According to Livia's blog at Vogue.uk, Harvey "scoured Southeast London for the right pieces, from Cancer Research shops to vintage boutiques, such as 360 Degrees Vintage." The goal was to use clothing from the 30s to honor the era in which the film "The King's Speech" was set. Colin Firth was nominated for an Oscar for his role in that film.
Pursuant to that goal, Harvey cut up 11 vintage evening gowns from the 1930s and patchworked them into the 1 dress worn by Livia for the 2011 Oscars. But can we truly consider this "green" or "sustainable"?
Many vintage fashion lovers, myself included, wondered about the condition of those 11 gowns from the 1930s. Lynn Burgess, the owner of 360 Degrees Vintage, declared on her Facebook fan page that, "He bought the very best gowns". We can possibly presume that since she owns a well known and highly respected vintage clothing store in London, the dresses must have been in at least wearable condition. She later stated, "I did say he bought the best gowns. I didn't say they were perfect most vintage garments will have some sign of wear and tear." Yesterday, on the Ecorazzi blog, she stated, ""Although the dresses Gary picked were beautiful they were far from perfect. There was some damage to the netting and the top part of the dress which he removed. The other dresses had some signs of wear and staining which he managed to cut out and reconstruct to make Livia's stunning dress."
To be fair to all parties involved, I contacted Gary Harvey and Livia Firth with this question: "Were the gowns that you used in wearable condition as they were or would they have been considered damaged beyond repair?"
Mr Harvey responded to me this morning with this statement (italics by me): "This is an unjust criticism, I am a designer with a conscious rather than destroying collectable clothing, I am preserving it for future generations.
Firstly, I have the utmost respect for vintage clothing, an avid collector for the last 20 years, I have scoured the vintage stores and markets across Europe, The USA and Japan, and as Creative Director for Levi's I was responsible for the design of the 'LEVIS Vintage Clothing' lines (authentic reproductions of LEVIS Jeans wear since 1873) and a regular visitor to the LS&Co archives in San Francisco.....
The 11 dresses used in Livia Firths Oscars dress were sourced from the millions of dresses available in the second hand market-place, there is literally tons and tons of vintage clothing out there just waiting for a new lease of life.
My aim with the design was to show Livia Firth looking amazing in the most beautiful dress supporting her husband as he collected his Oscar, I also wanted people to realise that just because something has been pre-owned, is not current, too small, ripped or stained there is still potential for reuse, thus raising the profile of vintage clothing and up-cycling.
Yes the dresses and fabrics were all sourced from or inspired by the era of the Oscar winning film 'The Kings Speech' however not one of these garments was suitable to wear in its current state, due to distress, damage or decay, they had all been beautiful dresses once, this is the true nature of recycling, I have preserved and given new life to these vintage garments, some of which would have ended up in land-fill."
Livia Firth has not responded to me as yet. Many people from the vintage community, myself included, commented on Livia Firth's blog questioning her choices in this matter. All those comments have been removed from the Vogue.uk site and new comments are now being blocked.
The question remains, were the 1930s dresses used for Firth's Oscar gown in wearable condition or not? If they were, then a tragedy has been visited upon valuable vintage clothing. If not, then Harvey's standard of "reuse, reduce, and recycle" can perhaps be utilized as an example of how to keep damaged clothing out of our landfills. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
What say you? Triumph or tragedy?
UPDATE: Livia Firth and Lucy Siegle have responded to this controversy via Huffington Post. I find their tone to be very dismissive, and the idea that gowns were cut up because they were "too small" for anyone to wear is simply outrageous.

Tragedy. If he is such a brilliant designer, why couldn't he have worked with one of the "not perfect" vintage 1930s dresses and some additional vintage fabric/trim and created a dress for his client? That would be the work of a true designer, eco~friendly and with a conscience. Funny how the story continues to change with criticism, isn't it?
- Penny Dreadful said...
I think it is completely awful. How is it preserving collectav=ble clothing to cut it up and turn it into something else? I have much more respect for Marisa Tomei, who wore vintage as it should be, with respect for the rareness of the piece. These people all seem to keep changing their story - one moment these dresses were the 'very best', the next they are 'unwearable'. Apparently the cost of at least one dress was £250, which indicates it was in fact in good condition. It is a crying shame that they didn't think to restore rather than destroy, I don't know how this guy can believe he is preserving anything other than his own ego.
- Carol@Dandelion Vintage said...
So we go from 360 Degrees Vintage saying that they were the best in the shop to the designer claiming some were only land-fill quality.
One small glimmer of hope in his response is when he says that the dresses were 'sourced from or INSPIRED BY the era' of the movie. So hopefully not all of the dresses were true 1930s gowns. The tulle on the back of the dress looks much newer than 30s.
- Couture Allure Vintage Fashion said...
A very good point. Taking one 1930s gown and restoring it would have been a much better use of resources. And the backtracking is troubling to me too. Unfortunately, unless someone can produce pictures of the original dresses, we'll never know the truth.
- Nicole said...
Great post and good for you, requesting responses from Livia and Gary: their point of view is very necessary for this situation. I look forward to hearing from Livia too.
I'm confused though: how can a '30s dress, hanging in a reputable vintage clothing be both "very best" and "landfill"?
I hope that Gary doesn't visit my shop the next time he's working on an upcycle project - we'd be sure to disagree about the best way to "preserve" vintage as I prefer to restore than destroy.
- The Kerrs said...
I personally think it's horrible. There seems to be a lot of back peddling going on by both the shop (first saying they were the best then saying they didn't say they were PERFECT) and secondly by the designer, who from what I can see only danced around the question by spouting his own references. I LOVE Colin Firth, but I think his wife's refusal to respond and blocking of all attempts to even question her behavior is really crappy. I don't know how tall/what size she is but I think the key might be when the designer lists "too small" as a viable reason to destry... perhaps they had a hard time finding one that fit her so they all got the scissor treatment?
- Ang said...
Maybe the silver lining here as the truth comes out (I'm honestly inclined to give the designer the benefit of the doubt, with Livia's track record for being eco-conscious) is that maybe people will start to look into *damaged* vintage as a resource for upcycling. I know I have loads of pieces I never know what to do with....most of my clients expect nothing less than flawless, wearable vintage from my website and shop (as far as that goes, "most vintage items will have some wear and tear" isn't necessarily the case and speaks to a questionable attitude toward it). I'd be thrilled to work with designers to provide textiles for use, and thrilled to see it used so it can be worn again.
But I find Harvey's statement here problematic "I also wanted people to realise that just because something has been pre-owned, is not current, too small, ripped or stained there is still potential for reuse, thus raising the profile of vintage clothing and up-cycling". Tearing apart a gown because it is "too small" or "not current" is not preserving nor is it eco-conscious in my opinion, it is wasteful. To say that updating it makes it relevant right now assumes no one, literally zero people, would wear it as is. And were that the case most of us in the vintage business would have no business.
I could go on and on about my concern over the lack of respect for vintage in the design industry but I will keep it to myself for now...
- BombshellShocked said...
Bottom line, the result wasn't pretty. I'd rather use a bit of chalk or some well place safety pins on a true vintage treasure than look like I was wearing a patchwork condom with a first communion veil sitting on my butt.
- Couture Allure Vintage Fashion said...
The varying descriptions of the dresses are quite troubling indeed. While we as vintage dealers are clearly appalled at what has happened, this just goes to show you how many people haven't a care in the world for pieces of history. I, too, would love to have a market for my damaged, unwearable vintage. Using these pieces for up-cycling makes perfect sense, but ONLY if they are damaged beyond repair.
- Anne, Vintage Baubles said...
Regardless of what either party now claims, I find it hard to believe that damaged-beyond-repair dresses were for sale in this boutique. Even dresses with ripped netting or a few stains are not "unwearable." You can replace netting, you can generally work with staining, and a vintage piece does not have to be in pristine condition to be eminently wearable. I suspect these dresses were in at least repairable condition for them to have been for sale in a well-known, respected, and apparently upscale shop. I believe the shop owner's comment that they were her best dresses has been deleted from FaceBook (at least, I looked for it and can't find it). Prior to the backlash against this "upcycling," I hadn't read anything, anywhere in the myriad of published articles stating that these dresses were unwearable. Needing repair is a far cry from being unwearable. And, even if these were damaged beyond repair (but come on, ELEVEN totally unwearable dresses in the same shop?), wouldn't it have been better to donate them to a museum for display? Any way you look at it, it's a gigantic waste. Why not take one damaged gown and restore it? Surely that would have been less work than pulling apart 11 pieces and constructing an entirely new one. And the end result would have likely been much more pleasing and period appropriate.
You know, money is nice, but integrity and respect are better.

Thanks for your comments Anne. The FB comment is still there. You need to scroll down a bit on her page where she links to the Lee Green article. Click the link that says "View all 10 comments" and you'll find it.
- 13bees said...
a tragedy, indeed. made worse by the fact that the final product is pretty hideous.
- Anne, Vintage Baubles said...
Thank you, Jody, for directions to the FaceBook comment in question--I am such a neophyte when it comes to locating information there....
- elena daciuk - fabulous finds said...
such a waste...truly...i am not a vintage dealer...but have always had a love for vintage...when i talked to two of my girlfriends about this story...they just didn't seem to think it was a big deal...and that we should focus on the fact that the dresses were in fact re-used...athough they both are not women that wear vintage...i thought they would appreciate the fact that these dresses were in fact...part of our history...and now gone...
funny how there are so many varying opinions...of course...we have not seen pictures of the 11 dresses...but two facts are glaring...the description of the state of the original dresses keeps changing...and that comments are being blocked...unfortunately these two points...don't look well on an otherwise innocent party...
great post jody...i'm attaching it to my fb page where i originally posted the article...
- HappyGromitLA said...
Thank you so much for investigating further and posting on your blog. I have to agree with the others -- clearly the first response from 360 Degrees was the honest one. I mean, logically, why would a store like that be selling dresses that were "destined for the landfill"? It makes no sense.
While it would be wonderful if this inspired people to take really unusable vintage pieces and rework them, I suspect what will instead happen is that people will think that every fine vintage piece should be "recycled", i.e., destroyed. I wrote this on C.A.'s FB page, but look what happens with vintage jewelry already -- I've seen beautiful pieces taken apart just so the designer can harvest one particular type of stone. Very sad.
- Shelley said...
If the original dresses were still wearable in their original state, then it's hypocrisy to claim the new dress is 'green'. I would be sad to think that the 'current fashion' was more important than preserving vintage dresses.
- Couture Allure Vintage Fashion said...
Thank you for your thoughts. Elena, it makes me sad that people don't get the issue. I live in a Victorian home built in 1895. In the 70s, all the original woodwork and moldings were removed by a previous owner in order to "update" the home. That trim is now irreplaceable. That is the type of thing happening here.
HappyGromit, I see more and more of this type of thing happening. If you look on eBay, it's easy to find vintage "mini" dresses in which a major portion of the skirt of a long vintage dress has been cut off and tossed. It's not reversible and it's not cool.
- The Kerrs said...
It is heart breaking to cut up something beautiful and old. I do it with sheets all the time for my sewing projects, but those are used to sew vintage patterns with and I feel like that's doing them justice in a way. As I posted on Vintage Vixen's FB page the other day. I purchased a lard size 50's satin and embroidered tulle dress at an estate sale for $1. I have tried everything but beating it with a rock down by the creek to get the rust (must have been on a mettle hanger at some point) and 60 year old armpit sweat stains out of the top half of the dress, but they just WOULD NOT come out. The skirt had two or three tiny holes in the tulle and some stains with I was able to remove. So I did eventually end up cutting the skirt off of the dress and making it into a skirt. I figured, this way it has many more years of special occassions it can enjoy instead of just sitting in a trunk because it can't be worn. So rarely do I see actual pretty pieces that are larger than a 24 waist, I couldn't let it langish in darkness. I have enough unstained pieces from the top to make a matching bag or trim out a new blouse to go with it and I think that is what I will do with the pieces. Only the horrid orange stains across the bust will go in the garbage... haha and not even then, I'll throw those in the scrap bag to be used as stuffing.
- stephanie said...
So the guy recycled vintage fabric.
Still seems all good.
As he noted, there are thousands upon thousands of vintage dresses out there in all states of wearability or lack thereof.
He still recycled & used vintage.
I don't get what the big deal is...????
- bonnie said...
Wow...are there really millions of 1930s gowns just lying around??? Tell me where please!!
Hoping that the designer is being truthful about the condition of the original gowns and not trying to cover his rear.
- Ant Queen said...
Thanks for posting this. I'm so glad that I asked the question about the state of the dresses on the 360 Degrees Vintage facebook page. Aside from getting that initial, and what I think is an honest response, it did seem to go a bit viral from there. I'm glad that you were able to get a response from Gary Harvey and I hope in time there is a response from Livia herself. I too am sceptical of the backpeddling on the state of the original dresses. It really feels like they've been caught out and are trying to save face.
This article in the Huffington Post shows another defensive response:
To quote Lucy Siegle in the above article:
"The pieces were damaged to such an extent and or so tiny that they had little to no chance of resale in their original state - sorry, there are not enough costume museums to accommodate. Rot on a hanger or make sustainable style history? You decide."
Firstly, a frock being tiny is not a flaw. The growing waistline of the Western population, now that's a flaw! I disagree with the all or nothing "rot or be recycled" claim. There are many things that can be done with vintage gowns that are damaged that are less wasteful. And as others have said, I doubt something with "little to no chance of resale" would be stocked in a vintage boutique.
The good thing about this, and the reason I'm glad I asked the question on facebook and posted the response on other vintage pages, is that the more people who make blog posts questioning the ethical and sustainable credentials of the dress, the more it will hopefully prompt other people to think about it rather than just blindly praise a designer dress on face value.
- casey said...
Yay! Comments are working again. ;) I think it is sad that potentially still-wearable gowns were sliced and diced for something "current". What happened to the idea of "old Hollywood elegance"? Certainly since her husband was being nominated for a film set in the 30s, wearing an actual 30s gown wouldn't have been a faux pas--and still GREEN! It just is sad that the dresses were probably still usable and weren't destined for the dump heap. I'm all for reworking pieces that are clearly damaged beyond repair/restoration (such as the commenter above stated in the case of the 50s dress). I redid a 40s day dress last year. It was a late 40s crepe number, but had a hole almost halfway up the longer skirt and significant staining on the bottom/hem edge. But the bodice and upper skirt were still great; not to mention the skirt was a great print! So I just rehemmed it shorter into a mid-40s length. East and saved the integrity of the dress and gave it a new life. I've done some stupid things with vintage in the past, but am now much more hesitant to start slicing and dicing a piece that can be salvaged.

Our hostess's comment about her house made me want to elaborate further on the effect that media attention can have on forming people's opinions regarding style. I live in Los Angeles--we bought our 1930 house in 1995 and at that time, there were many period homes that still had original baths and often, kitchens. No more. Finding a house with the original anything is almost unheard of. And I blame, to a large extent, HGTV. Show after show presented "vintage" as something undesirable, and even more powerful, something that devalued a house. So out goes all the beautiful old stuff. Again, if this way of approaching "recycling vintage" gets any traction, the kind of eBay items that C.A. mentions will become endemic in many venues.
- Roseana Auten said...
Well, I just don't like the result. Like most projects that involve cutting up an old dress or dresses, it just doesn't do a thing for me. I'd like to be surprised, one day.

Yup pretty much. You cannot trust anyone these days it is a shame. You never really know what you are getting. Companies are greedy and lack values. I think the value system as a whole has been depreciated in America. It seems it used to be that you didn't give/sell anything that you would not be willing to use yourself or make something you would not feed your kids.
I believe in self-accountability but I also believe in responsibility for our neighbor, not just because we may get sued but that it is the right thing to do.If I sold a neighbor some lemonade and did not bother to tell them that I chopped the lemons on the same board I made peanut butter on, I would feel responsible if they became ill for giving them something exposed to peanuts while I know they are extremely allergic.
Companies are made up of People who sell things to People and I do not believe they should be excluded of the same values, morals and responsibilities we expect of our neighbors.

Posted 22 August 2012 - 01:49 PM
The thing that sticks out, to me, with your example is that "you would know of your neighbor's peanut allergy"...how can companies "know" about the individual needs of their consumers?
Posted 22 August 2012 - 04:07 PM
Exactly! That is precisely the point in full disclosure. That is why they should list everything on the label or otherwise make the ingredients, processing method and so on attainable in some way.
Even in many schools there are rules about using scented lotions or distributing foods. It is to protect against people having allergic reactions.
In high school, some of these things were banned and others were allowed but with requirement to tell that the fundraising candybar has nuts and so on.
And of course it is worth mentioning that companies Do know that there are people who are allergic to wheat or have celiac or nut allergies and such.

I just wanted to say that I understand your frustration. Undisclosed gluten sources have been plaguing my life for the last year or so. I agree that food companies cannot always produce gluten-free products (and I'm not even suggesting that they change their manufacturing processes or ingredient lists), but there really does need to be better labeling of this serious allergen for those of us who are super-sensitive!
Posted 05 September 2012 - 10:22 AM
Finally! Someone else who takes responsibility for what they eat and figuring it out for themselves, not expecting the government to babysit us and tell us how to think.
Food companies are giving people in this country what they want....cheap food. Americans eat what is sold because it's cheap and tastes good to them. Having wheat so heavily subsidized in this country ensures that. So, as long as mainstream America eats the way they do, this is what will be offered. It is up to each and every individual to figure out what is healthy or not and choose accordingly. You are going to have to pay more to eat this way but I always feel it's an investment in health.
Gluten is not undisclosed in foods, unless it happens to be barley as a sweetener and then you have to learn how that is represented on the label. If I can figure all this out myself, anyone can. American Celiacs, for the most part, are not being poisoned by food companies due to hidden gluten. Sure, there are CC risks but that is going to happen in any country where food is prepared outside the home. I don't eat the vast majority of mainstream food and that is why I recovered so well. Educate yourselves and you'll be far better off than expecting the government to do it for you.
Posted 06 September 2012 - 06:52 AM
But what happens if companies start to deliberately hide what is in our food, and the government does nothing about it? They're already doing it with GMOs. It's no secret that the FDA is controlled by corporations, and not the consumers it's supposed to represent. The ONLY reason the USA doesn't have the same stringent standards as the EU is because of corporate control over the government. Without speaking up about it, it may only get worse.
Sorry to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but after growing up in Europe I'm disgusted with the food labeling standards in this country. There is no legitimate reason why they can't be improved.

really don't see that is that big a deal changing the labels on food to include a statement about gluten "this food contains gluten", "this food may contain traces of gluten". I for one am very thankful that I live in a place that has labels like that on all food made in this country.

Mouse Lung Tumor Workshop
UPDATE: EPA announced in December 2014 the availability of the final Workshop Summary Report (See workshop agenda tab).
EPA conducted a State-of-the-Science Workshop on Chemically-induced Mouse Lung Tumors: Applications to Human Health Assessments. The purpose of this workshop was to discuss the available data and interpretation of results from studies of mouse bronchiolar-alveolar adenomas and carcinomas (lung tumors) following exposure to chemical agents, and the relevance of such tumors in mice to human cancer risk. Several lines of research have investigated whether or not these types of lung tumors are formed by a mode of action (MOA) which is specific to mice and are relevant to tumor formation or other toxicity in humans.
View 109 T W Alexander Dr in a larger map
EPA's Mouse Lung Tumor Workshop (MLTW) was held from 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM eastern time on January 7-8, 2014.
US EPA Auditorium (Room C111)
109 TW Alexander Drive
Research Triangle Park, NC 27711
This two-day, state-of-the-science workshop covered a broad range of evidence from human, animal, and in vitro studies with a focus on specific chemicals (ethylbenzene, naphthalene, and styrene) causing lung tumors in mice and implicated in a proposed species-specific mode of action (MOA) based on metabolic and physiological susceptibility. The workshop was sponsored and organized by EPA with input from (1) a volunteer committee of outside experts (including representatives from academic institutions, State agencies, other Federal organizations, NGOs, and industry), and (2) an internal working group of experts from EPA and other Federal partners. The workshop included four separate sessions examining individual topic areas in detail, beginning with and continually referring back to the human relevance of data from animal and in vitro studies.
- A Session Abstracts document (PDF) (55 pp, 2.27M) was made available to provide context and define the scope for the discussions. It was also developed to provide the introductory material and facilitate a quick engagement in fruitful discussions from the very beginning of the workshop with a minimum of introductory presentations. This document of preliminary materials remains useful following the workshop.
- The Health and Environmental Research Online (HERO) literature database includes a publicly-available project page specifically for the MLTW which provides the available literature relevant to the workshop.
Workshop Goals and Scope:
The goals of the workshop:
- Identify the evidence, from multiple scientific disciplines, regarding formation of chemically-induced lung tumors in mice and how such evidence informs human health assessments.
- Identify approaches for analyzing and interpreting the evidence.
- Identify commonalities, linkages, or differences between the evidence from various disciplines.
This workshop was conducted to inform the development of assessments for chemicals where mouse lung tumors are an issue (e.g., ethylbenzene, naphthalene, styrene). EPA did not seek consensus, recommendations, or guidance during the workshop.

Help with Assignment Please...
Graphical User Interface
Design for Windows Forms
You now have the basic GUI skill to make the GroceryApp
project a multiple-form application. This project will assess
your understanding of using controls, menus, and handling
multiple forms.
Make sure that you follow all directions completely and verify
your results before submitting the project. Remember to
include all required components in your solution or you wont
receive full credit.
In the graded project for Lesson 3, you added grocery classes
to the GroceryApp project. In this project, youll add a form
to allow users to add grocery items to the shopping basket.
The form will also use menus. Youll also set the startup form
and manage the login form window. The output of this project
will be used in the next graded project.
1. In Visual Studio, load the GroceryApp project that you
completed in Lesson 3.
2. Add a new form to the project named GroceryItemForm.
3. Add controls to GroceryItemForm in the following layout:
Label controls, two TextBox controls, a NumericUpDown
control, a ComboBox control, a GroupBox component, a
RichTextBox control and a Button control.
4. Modify the design-time properties of the form and its
controls using the following table:
5. Add the option E&xit to the Application menu.
6. Add the options A&dd and &View in the Basket menu.
7. Save your work on GroceryItemForm.vb.
8. Open the design view of LoginForm.vb.
9. Select LoginForm. Set the AcceptButton and
CancelButton properties to the buttons btnLogin and
btnCancel, respectively.
10. Select txtPassword. Set the PasswordChar property to *.
11. Set the TabIndex property for the txtUsername and
txtPassword controls to 0 and 1, respectively.
12. Save these changes on LoginForm.vb.
13. Open the design view of GroceryItemForm.vb.
14. In the forms Load event, display the login form modally.
I am a bit lost starting right here ..
15. In the Click event of the btnAddToBasket button, create
a GroceryItem object using the values from the controls
and add it to the basket variable. Remember the basket
variable is the GroceryBasket collection.
a. Make sure all controls except txtScanNumber contain
a value.
b. Set the value of the txtScanNumber control using the
following code:
txtScanNumber.Text = _
txtBrandName.Text.Substring(0, 3) & 1019
c. Instantiate the GroceryItem class, using the control
d. Use the following expression to set the Aisle property
[Enum].Parse(GetType(Aisle), lstAisle.Text)
This expression converts the text into an Aisle
e. Add the GroceryItem object to the basket variable.
f. Make sure to clear the content of all controls.
16. In the Click event of the Exit menu item, end the application.
17. Have the btnAddToBasket_Click method handle the
Click event of AddToolStripMenuItem as well.
18. In the Click event of the View menu item, display all of
the items in the basket variable in an informational message
box. You need only display the Aisle, ScanNumber,
and BrandName properties. See Assignment 9 for help.
19. Set GroceryItemForm as the startup form.
Here is my code
Public Class GroceryItemForm
Private Sub MenuStrip1_ItemClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItemClickedEventArgs) Handles MenuStrip1.ItemClicked
End Sub
Private Sub GroceryItemForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' Create an instance of LoginForm.
Dim frmLogin As New LoginForm
' Display the login form in modal style.
End Sub
Private Sub btnAddToBasket_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAddToBasket.Click,
Dim objGroceryItem As New GroceryItemForm
objGroceryItem.lblBrandName.Text = "&Name"
objGroceryItem.lblScanNumber.Text = "&Scan"
objGroceryItem.lblPrice.Text = "&Price"
objGroceryItem.lblAisle.Text = "Bakery"
objGroceryItem.grpDescription.Text = "&Description"
objGroceryItem.btnAddToBasket.Text = "A&dd to Basket"
txtScanNumber.Text = _
txtBrandName.Text.Substring(0, 3) & 1019
objGroceryItem.lblAisle = [Enum].Parse(GetType(GroceryItem.AisleType), lstAisle.Text)
End Sub
Private Sub ViewToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ViewToolStripMenuItem.Click
MessageBox.Show("An item is successfully added")
End Sub
Private Sub ExitToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExitToolStripMenuItem.Click
End Sub
End Class
ok, we can see the assignment, and can see the code you've worked on so far, but what is it you are having problems with. What is your question? What part is not working or do you need clarified?
Also has the instructor gone over debugging methods and break points? Using the watch window and the immidiate window? These are critical in figuring out what problems are in code.
More than willing to help you, but definitely need to know "what" your question is exactly.

Starting at #15 not too sure i have a full understanding of what the control values are. I have uploaded a scan of the controls i'm working with. Also when i run the app i get a warning that reads: ArgumentOutOfRangeException was unhandled - Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length at the line txtScanNumber.text = _
txtBrandName.Text.Substring(0, 3) & 1019.
This is an online degree so i am basically on my own. I have also emailed the school asking for some assistance but have not received a reply.
Thanks for your help, appreciate it......
ok that error means that the txtBrandName.Text was probably less than 4 characters long. You need to ensure that it has at least 4 chars and then appens the numbers; you are alos missing quotes around the numbers
This code
is probably easier to be read like this...Code:txtScanNumber.Text = _ txtBrandName.Text.Substring(0, 3) & "1019"
the substring looks at a peice of the string with the supplied parameters... for exampleCode:txtScanNumber.Text = txtBrandName.Text.Substring(0,3) & "1019"
the '_' is a way to put what you want on a new line but still same statement...Code:Dim strA As String = "Oatmeal" Dim strB As String = strA.Substring(0,3) Dim strC As String = strA.Substring(0,3) & "555" Dim strD As String = "the cat " & "and dog" 'values of all of these... 'strA: Oatmeal 'strB: Oatm 'strC: Oatm555 'strD: the cat and dog
It can also be used to concatonate strings, but then you need to also use the ampersandCode:Dim s As String = _ "apples"
I think it would be helpful if you post your groceryitem class as well. for part A you will need to make a function to verify that none of those fields are null. I might be on over the weekend to check back, but give it an honest go and do some simple tutorials. Make some play projects and try out different things. It seems to me you just need a little bit more familiarity with the language and how to use it as well as the base classes themselves.Code:Dim s As String = _ "apples" _ & " make healthy" _ & " snacks"

Ok, so i'm still not understanding 15e. Add the groceryitem object to the basket variable. I have gotten the txtscannumber and [Enum[.Parse(GetType(Aisle), lstAisle.text) expressions to work, but still stuck at instruction e.
You need to look into collections and generic lists and adding to them. I don't even see a 'basket variable' in your code. I made this quick example. If you create a new project (console app), delete everything from the default page, and copy/paste everything from here it should debug just fine and you will see what is going on (or maybe just reading through the code will be good enough)
Code:Module Module1 Sub Main() Try Dim myAnimals As New List(Of Animals) Console.WriteLine("This is an example of adding objects to a collecion, which {0}" _ & "is what you need to learn how to do. Right now the collection 'myAnimals'{0}" _ & "has {1} members in it. Let's go through and add a few shall we?", vbCrLf, myAnimals.Count) Console.ReadLine() 'This adds a member without any paramerters using the Sub New() constructor myAnimals.Add(addAnimalsNoParms()) Console.WriteLine("Now the collection has {0} members, each with a set of{1}" _ & "properties set to default values. Let's see what they are...{1}" _ & "Species: {2}{1}" _ & "Age: {3}{1}" _ & "Eats: {4}{1}" _ & "Name: {5}{1}", myAnimals.Count, vbCrLf, myAnimals(0).Species, myAnimals(0).Age, myAnimals(0).Eats, myAnimals(0).Name) Console.ReadLine() Console.WriteLine("Now let's see another way too add{0}members... (and set properties of the first member){0}*Look at the code to see this*", vbCrLf) Console.ReadLine() myAnimals(0).Species = "Cow" myAnimals(0).Age = 25 myAnimals(0).Eats = Animals.EatType.herb myAnimals(0).Name = "Buttercup" 'this way does a straight add to the collection using the function myAnimals.Add(addAnimalsWithParms("Turtle", 12, Animals.EatType.omni, "Apple")) 'this way creates and Animals object, sets it's properties, and then adds it to the collection Dim _animal As New Animals _animal.Species = "Dog" _animal.Age = 7 _animal.Eats = Animals.EatType.omni _animal.Name = "Spot" myAnimals.Add(_animal) 'this way creates an animal using the constructor accepting parameters and adds it (same addition as above, but different substantiation) Dim _animal2 As New Animals("Cat", 3, Animals.EatType.carn, "Purrs") myAnimals.Add(_animal2) 'this way adds it as it's being substantiated myAnimals.Add(New Animals("Buzzard", 17, Animals.EatType.cari, "Buzzy")) Console.WriteLine("You can then see that each is created and has values set.{0}" _ & "Total members of collection 'myAnimals' = {1}{0}", vbCrLf, myAnimals.Count) Console.ReadLine() WriteList(myAnimals) Console.WriteLine("{0}Tada!", vbCrLf) Console.ReadLine() Catch ex As Exception Console.WriteLine("{0}{0}{0}{1}", vbCrLf, ex.Message) Console.ReadLine() End Try End Sub Private Function addAnimalsNoParms() As Animals Return New Animals() End Function Private Function addAnimalsWithParms(ByVal s As String, ByVal a As Integer, ByVal e As Animals.EatType, ByVal n As String) As Animals Return New Animals(s, a, e, n) End Function Private Sub WriteList(ByVal animalList As List(Of Animals)) For Each a As Animals In animalList Console.WriteLine("Animal at index of: {0} is Named: {1}, Age: {2}, Eats: {3}, and is a {4}", animalList.IndexOf(a), a.Name, a.Age, a.Eats, a.Species) Next End Sub End Module Public Class Animals Public Enum EatType herb 'herbivore carn 'carnivore omni 'omnivore cari 'carion Unknown End Enum Private _species As String Private _age As Integer Private _eats As EatType Private _name As String Sub New() Species = "Unknown" Age = -1 Eats = EatType.Unknown Name = "Unknown" End Sub Sub New(ByVal s As String, ByVal a As Integer, ByVal e As EatType, ByVal n As String) Species = s Age = a Eats = e Name = n End Sub Public Property Species As String Get Return _species End Get Set(ByVal value As String) _species = value End Set End Property Public Property Age As Integer Get Return _age End Get Set(ByVal value As Integer) _age = value End Set End Property Public Property Eats As EatType Get Return _eats End Get Set(ByVal value As EatType) _eats = value End Set End Property Public Property Name As String Get Return _name End Get Set(ByVal value As String) _name = value End Set End Property End Class

GroceryItem is a class, and you need to create a class instance of GroceryItem to add to the basket collection.
Check if each control's text or value property is not Null or empty or the default value for that type i'm assuming. (Unless a default value is permissible for use, but that's better known by yourself I would think, since you've had more visibility to this assignment. If you're just checking for Null, there's no point because the controls from the list i'd assume you'd be using here can't contain a null value. They don't have nullable types, or the values that are strings, get converted from Null to String.Empty upon initialization, so compare with ""/String.Empty in that case.)Make sure all controls except txtScanNumber contain
a value.
NOTE: For this to work:
txtBrandName.Text has to be a Length of 3 or greater.Code:txtBrandName.Text.Substring(0, 3)
You can loop through the controls on the form container to do this instead of setting them all individually.Code:Make sure to clear the content of all controls.
OP if you didn't see an error from not having quotes around your numbers, that value is being implicitly cast over to a string to be used as a string in that Text property, so I would suggest using Option Strict On at the very very top of your code to see any other locations where this is being done. Implicit type casting is bad on performance and therefore is also bad habit.
alykins, your last code seems alright , with the exception fo a few coding convention standards. You should only prefix variable identifiers with a "_" if they are a field, as this is usually that kind of indicator. I use "_" for my private fields specifically and public ones are for the most part Properties that I don't have prefixed with "_". I see the Animals class takes this into consideration but inside of your main Sub it shouldn't have things like that. Also, there's no need for this function:
When it's really just an added function call for no reason, if you can provide the params to use the overloaded constructor for the Animals class, then why not just create the instance directly for use? Adding an extra function call, understand, just takes extra time for no reason here.Code:Private Function addAnimalsWithParms(ByVal s As String, ByVal a As Integer, ByVal e As Animals.EatType, ByVal n As String) As Animals Return New Animals(s, a, e, n) End Function
@Sherby - What is the basket variable type? List(Of T)?
edit: Looking at the GroceryItem class a few things stuck out for me:
You don't want to be Dim'ing intScanNumber here, otherwise, it will always be returning 0 and since it's ReadOnly you can't change that at all. The internal scope here will take prescedence over that field variable with the same name.Code:' ScanNumber property Public ReadOnly Property ScanNumber() As Integer Get ' Variable to hold the Number Dim intScanNumber As Integer Return intScanNumber End Get End Property
With ReadOnly stuff in this class, it seems they want you, (unless you did this on your own,) to adopt a more OOP-like structure.
My advice to you as well is to avoid having similar variable names where possible:
You already have a ReadOnly property named ScanNumber. This won't affect anything here since you're setting the backing value (which isn't used because of the Dim you have in that property Get anyways), to ScanNumber, but if you were setting the actual property itself, using ScanNumber over Me.ScanNumber could result in having issues.Code:Public Sub New(ByVal ScanNumber As Integer) Me.intScanNumber = ScanNumber End Sub
Another thing i'll point out; Constructor chaining. You have this:
Same variable setting in both. Take this for instance, chaining to a "master Constructor":Code:' Constructor Public Sub New(ByVal ScanNumber As Integer) Me.intScanNumber = ScanNumber End Sub ' Constructor Public Sub New(ByVal ScanNumber As Integer, ByVal BrandName As String, ByVal Price As Double) Me.intScanNumber = ScanNumber Me.strBrandName = BrandName Me.dblPrice = Price End Sub
Just example code so i'm not rewriting the class for you.Code:Public Sub New(ID as Integer) Me.New(ID, "") 'This will call the other Constructor, but provide a default value that you want for the other param. End Sub Public Sub New(ID As Integer, Name As String) _ID = ID _Name = Name End Sub

What If the World's Food Supplies Run Out?
What If the World's Food Supplies Run Out? Will science and technology be our saviour in the years to come.Some people think the next war will be over water resources. But it might be so that it will be about food.
The poor were having too many babies. If this continued, I reckon, the planet would run out of food. Well, there were only nine hundred million humans on the planet once. Now there are about 7 billion. This is expected to rise to 10 billion by mid-century.
Adir Zagury
Apr 10 2013: Call me sarcastic, pasimistic and crule but I think that the world food supply is already runing out (as can be seen from the globaly rising food prices) and there is a simple and one very likley result- people will die. War starvation or something else- but eventually the count of people on earth will be lowered to the point we can feed ourselves.
- +1
Apr 10 2013: And the fundamental question is: if we do not stabilize the population now, then when? Many countries in Western Europe - even those such as Italy and Ireland with large Roman Catholic majorities - have stabilized their populations. And they do it while fully respecting individual human rights.Why can't we?
Apr 10 2013: The most effective way to reduce birth is women education. Educated women who works and in good economic state will have less kids, and in an older age. Condoms are also usefull.Apr 13 2013: With the exceptions of sub-Sahara Africa, India, and Bangladesh, many of the world's most populated regions have fallen below replacement fertility rates, thanks to social, economic, or political coercion. China, who instituted a strict one-child policy in 1979, is already below the replacement rate and has been for approximately 20 years. A brief summary: Replacement fertility is the rate required to maintain a population in equipoise with mortality rates.
Massive technological strides have been made in the medical and agricultural fields. Children and adults are now given access to the latest medical treatments, and farmers are able to increase crop production while utilizing less acreage—factors which ultimately result in lowered child mortality rates and increases a population's ability to sustain itself. However, many of these advances are not available in the most destitute and overpopulated regions of the world, which, as a result of high infant mortality, results in continued population expansion.
Robert Malthus, a celebrated political economist and demographer, posited that, if left unchecked, exponential population growth would eventually outpace agricultural production leading to starvation, war, and disease. This scenario is aptly referred to as a "Malthusian Catastrophe". Malthus went on to conclude that such population booms could be rectified early through moral restraint, and by restricting marriage and reproduction among certain groups, mostly the impoverished.
While I do agree that population control and the availability of food should be of the utmost concern to everyone, I can't fathom nations going to war because of it. However, given the current economic trends in many developing countries, I expect that concerns arising from the availability and environmental dangers of energy resources to dominate international political discourse in the present and near future.Apr 10 2013: There is a lot of waste that could feed a LOT of people. Think grocery stores that throw away perfectly good food. So I think we have a good buffer.
But I disagree with your question.. I worry we will continue expanding our food supplies. That is the real threat.
Apr 10 2013: Yes Brian. Thank you for bringing up this point. Food wastage is also a reason for food supplies to run out. The world produces a lot of food, enough to feed billions more than are living right now.
But We're not doing enough to resolve these complex issues that are critical for providing 9-10 billion people with a nutritious diet.
I think the first step is more awareness of these issues and the need for action on multiple levels of society.
Again Reducing food wastage is also a part of solution for helping food supplies not to run out.

Apr 10 2013: There is nothing to disagree Grace. You are absolutely right. There is no turning back. We need to wake up and wake up now.
The rise in food prices is directly correlated to the 80 million people being added to the world's population annually. This is beginning to "tax both the skills of farmers and the limits of the earth's land and water resources. I am afraid already as you said the scarcity of water is limiting the food production dramatically and causing another food crisis.Apr 9 2013: I'm thinking that Jenny Craig's sales will drop?
Or perhaps an opportunity for some one who can figure out how to make Soylent Green?
Apr 9 2013: Hey Pat,
And perhaps our grand children might just need to plug themselves on to a power outlet when they are hungry. I I am sure Spielberg would enjoy seeing that.
Apr 9 2013: What if What if. Won't global warming kill half of us off by then anyway?
100 years ago what do you think people would say if you asked them if the planet could support 7 billion at a better and better level of health and happiness?

Apr 9 2013: Hello Zx,
My concern is not about Doomsday. Its about the population. it is likely that world population will reach 8.3 billion by about 2025, and possibly 10 billion before leveling off. I am looking for answers of how we can stabilize the global population at the lowest possible level. I am sure there are ways to increasing food production by modernizing and intensifying agriculture in an environmentally sustainable fashion.
As time goes on, the control of water for food and agricultural uses will become a more pressing issue. I mean more food will have to be produced over the next 50 years than has been during the past 10,000 years combined.

Berlin's 10 Best Musicians Right Now
Berlin's 10 Best Musicians Right Now
Berlin. The name makes you think of unrivaled nightlife, a progressive bohemian vibe, and a space where artists are free to create and explore. The German capital's culture is influenced both by its unique history and its diverse population of 4.5 million.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, West Berlin artists began exploring the vast empty spaces of East Berlin, hosting pop-up parties that carried well into the next day. One of the quirks of the city was that its free-spirited, open youth identified most with the harsh, mechanic sounds of techno. The genre reigned supreme in the '90s and still has a hold on the region in many ways. As the local creative community grew and consolidated, connections with other nightlife hubs around the world developed, and DJs like Ricardo Villalobos and Richie Hawtin, among countless others, began to frequent burgeoning clubs like the internationally-renowned Berghain and Tresor.
While artists in creative centers like Williamsburg and Shoreditch have for years been familiar with the El Dorado-like mythos of Berlin, the carefree appeal of the city is spreading to more commercial avenues. Today, the most famous clubs are listed in guidebooks, and visitors can take structured tours of the city's music history. Berlin has been vibrant in the arts world for years. And the artists in neighborhoods like Kreuzberg and Neukoelln show no sign of slowing, making Berlin's music scene one of the best in the world for electronic music. These are the ones that you shouldn't sleep on.
Dixon, a proudly native Berliner, has been one of the major heads of house music in Berlin since the '90s when the first wave of dance music took the city by storm. DJs earned their stripes through high-stakes residencies at various illegal and psuedo-legal parties, a scene he thrived in. Today, in addition to co-owning a bakery and being an avid footballer, Dixon runs the label he co-founded almost ten years ago, Innervisions, continuing to release killer dance music.
Moderat, the electronic music supergroup, or more accurately in this case, super duo, has made a respectably expansive career in electronic music that spans from pop to IDM to minimal techno. Producers Apparat and Modeselektor, already highly-regarded Berlin musicians in their own right, forged together their individual styles to create Moderat. Their 2014 European tour this Spring has almost universally sold out, as fans anticipate what's been called one of the best shows in electronic music right now.
Jerome Sydenham
Jerome Sydenham is a prime example of the kind of internationally-minded artist that Berlin attracts. Born in Nigeria to English and Jamaican parents, he spent his youth in the UK, later moving to New York City to pursue music. After briefly living in Denmark, Sydenham moved to Berlin to further develop his label, Ibadan Records. While he's fully established as a reigning house and techno DJ, Sydenham was one of the first to introduce a funky African-electro vibe to the equation.
Brandt Brauer Frick
This pioneering trio approaches the city's beloved techno from a unique perspective, utilizing classical instruments to recreate the mechanical beats. After signing to !K7, the famed German electronic and indie label, the band added more instrumentalists including a cellist, violinist, trombonist, and multiple percussionists, developing the project into its live form known as the Brandt Brauer Frick ensemble.
Now reaching a decade operating her Planningtorock electronic music project, Jam Rostron, has witnessed plenty of the evolution of the Berlin music scene. Even so, her musical objectives have remained steady, focusing on taught, creative electronic pop and clear social commentary on issues like gender equality. Shortly after co-writing an opera with Swedish electro-poppers The Knife, Rostron signed to James Murphy (of LCD Soundsystem)'s DFA label. Last year she released her third studio album, with a renewed focus on social commentary, titled All Love's Legal.
The Whitest Boy Alive
The Whitest Boy Alive were the hottest band alive in 2007 Berlin. Their taut millennial disc-punk vibe won fans over worldwide, leading this Norwegian/German band on several international tours. No doubt influenced by the dance music around them, the band started as an electronic project but quickly morphed into a more traditional band setup. While they haven't released any new tunes in the past couple years, they've been busy running their label, Bubbles Records while singer/guitarist Erlend Øye released a handful of solo recordings.
Stereo Total
If any artists on this list can dispel the stereotype of Germans lacking a sense of humor, it's Stereo Total. Their music, sung in unaffected French, German, or second-language English, straddles both brash punk-y garage rock and electro-pop. The duo, Françoise Cactus and Brezel Göring, have realized 13 albums since 1993, and have become big hits outside Berlin in underground scenes in Japan and the US with their playful and straightforward new wave tunes.
The Houston-born, Berlin-based DJ, Lotic, aims to bring a more abstract, perhaps intellectual side to his production, which fits his resident DJ responsibilities at left-field club Janus (recently profiled in The New York Times). His most recent EP delves into ideas of destruction and sonic evolution through appropriated samples. If Lotic represents the wave of American musicians who have moved to Berlin in the past decade, Berliners need worry not.
This pop duo, formed by Inga Humpe and Tommi Eckar, have covered a lot of territory since their formation in 2000. Throughout their career, they've experimented with genres like pop, techno, punk rock, new wave, and even bossa nova. After recording in Berlin, LA, and San Francisco, their seventh and most recent release, Achtung Fertig, found the group returning to their electronic roots and embracing dance pop once again.
Named for the circular runways used for UFO's in 1970's Italian cinema, Discodromo is a house and techno DJ/production duo who quickly made a name for themselves in Berlin clubs like Panorama Bar. More recently, Disscodromo has helped to form the record label CockTail D'Amore, further expanding their reach in the dance music world.
