Buy/Sell/Trade: Classic Menswear Classifieds
1. Styleforum marketplace is meant for the use of private sellers. Commercial entities wishing to sell on Styleforum must contact us at email@example.com.
2. You may have a maximum of 15 sales threads at one time. Items may be listed separately or grouped in one thread if they are within the same category (i.e. ties may go in separate threads or all in one large thread - but not in a "mixed" thread with shirts, etc.).
3. Listings must have pictures, full descriptions, and prices - even after they are sold. After a sale, do not delete any information from your threads. Please click "Close Thread" or mark individual items "SOLD" - without removing prices or info.
4. Links to eBay listings are allowed for specific items - with full descriptions and a price that you will agree to sell for immediately via StyleForum (including auctions). No links or solicitations to other sites/stores are allowed.
5. Do not ask for personal payments, additional money for PayPal fees, or any violations to terms of service from another website.
Any abuse or attempt to game the system may result in your privileges to use Styleforum to be revoked, and/or a fine of no less than $500 USD, and not more than say, $1 trillion USD.
CLICK HERE TO READ THE COMPLETE BUYING AND SELLING RULES (Click to show)
General guidelines:
1. Please be respectful of your fellow members. Do not use profanity in these listings and please do not sabotage any seller threads. If you have serious concerns about a seller, please email us at email@example.com.
2. We will not, as a policy, become involved in any disputes between sellers and buyers. However, please note that your participation on the forum is a privilege, not a right. Your privileges may be revoked if there are serious, legitimate complaints about you - especially if there are complaints from multiple members.
Seller guidelines and details:
1. New members must wait 15 days in order to be able to post. This is to cut down on spam and to acclimatize sellers to Styleforum's norms. You may bypass this requirement by buying into a premium seller option.
2. There are very affordable "premium" seller memberships that allow you to bump more frequently, and have highlighted and bolded listings. You may find descriptions of the options here: Buy Sell Trade Premium Memberships.
3. You may list multiple items in a listing, as long as they are all from the same category (e.g., one listing with multiple different ties). However, grouping items in a listing is not mandatory. You may list each item separately if you wish, up to your limit of 15. Do not list an item in more than one active listing at a time, with one exception: you may cross-list an item in both Men's Clothing and Streetwear and Denim classifieds if you so choose.
4. You may engage in discussions as you like. Posts will not automatically "bump" a listing. The default "bump" period is one every 7 days. Bumps must be administered manually.
5. Please refrain from any NSFW listings or pictures. They will be deleted, and you may be fined or banned.
6. Please state your terms clearly. A set price must be listed for items. You may be open to offers, but a set price must be listed regardless. If you have a multi-item listing, there must be at least one item at the price listed.
Buyer guidelines and details:
1. Do not post negative unhelpful comments in listings. They will be deleted and repeated action will be dealt with accordingly.
2. You are strongly encouraged to leave seller feedback. Please leave respectful feedback. Any feedback with profanity will be deleted. If you are not the buyer of an item, do not leave feedback. If you do so, you may be subject to serious penalties.
Commercial Entities:
The classifieds system is not intended for use by commercial entities. All companies must apply to email@example.com to apply for affiliate membership.
All users:
Please be sure to follow these simple rules, and please do not attempt to "game" the system in any way (i.e. use loopholes in the rules above to your unfair advantage). Please remember that use of this system is a privilege, and not a right. Any abuse of the system may result in your privileges to use Styleforum to be revoked, and/or a fine of no less than $500 USD, and not more than say, $1 trillion USD.
Please email any questions or concerns to email@example.com
Enjoy the new system.

Passionate about jewellery from an early age, American luxury accessories and jewellery designer, Kara Ross, launched her eponymous label in 2003. Inspired by alternative materials and stones including jet, marcasite, lava, wood, chalcedony, Ross's vision has consistently been to create jewellery and handbags with character and imagination. Ross, following an interest in vintage and hand-made wares, is also interested in creating items that are rare and one of a kind, and so only produces her designs in limited quantities.

This property belongs to a peasant lady who's home does not have a single sign of the 21st century – no water, no electricity, no sewage facilities, no rubbish collections, no made-up roads, no kitchen, no bathroom, no drainage, no toilet, were situated in the west, a bulldozer would be used to erase all existing signs of habitation (and memories) and new modern structures erected.
Her life does include good friends, beautiful views, thousands of different wildflowers, hundreds of different butterflies and birds, total freedom from the modern world and the thrill of living a life of self reliance not seen in the 'West' for hundreds of years.
The picture was built using Faststone, Gimp and the loose brush in fotosketcher.

We woke in the knowledge that England had dismissed Australia for 130 odd runs, then sat and listened as England lost wicket after wicket. Enough of that for now, it's too stressful.

One way to re-sell last year's game again is to add a scantily clad babe (and by "babe" we mean "hunk") to the cast of playable characters. Capcom has done just that, importing Dead Rising star Frank West sans clothes (talk about extreme conditioning!) into the repackaged and budget priced Lost Planet: Colonies Edition. But why stop there? We can't be the only ones curious to see (strictly on a scientific level, of course) how Mega Man's unarmed body reacts to the cold.

And I stand alone
Half man half idol with a hand of stone
You ask can my recital lead a man to home
On the path to that title seat I am to own
Basically the answers no
Lyric Meaning
I am my own man. MC's get idolized under the assumption they have a secret knowledge of self, one that could lead others.
I see a statue being worshiped, half flesh- half stone- a play on Nas's line "Half-man, Half-Amazing".
Can my music lead you to an understanding of yourself, while at the same time I'm on a path to reach fame? No.
The concept here is "stand alone", on your own two feet- take what makes sense to you from others (regardless of fame) and follow your own path.

I have written a MethodInterceptor to gather the performance metrics of a Spring based application. Essentially all service classes and some DAOs will be going through this interceptor. My question is, is there a way to disable this interceptor during runtime to save any performance impact due to call via reflection.
I don't believe there is a significant performance penalty when using reflection in modern JVM. Also I don't think there is an easy way to disable interceptor dynamically.
If you're doing some non-trivial processing in your interceptor, which you would want to avoid, the easiest way perhaps be to check some property, which could be set on runtime, in your interceptor. Something like this should work:
In your Spring context file you could set 'bypass' property based on Java system property, for example, or read it from config file.

Jordan is run by a despotic dictator..who elects the king? How are minorities treated? Is their any semblance of democracy their? It seems to me that western powers have never trusted the Arabs and prefer to subjegate them to a dictator than can keep this "primitive" man on a leash...how sad...that even the arabs enjoy this...or else they would have had the guts a long time ago to rebel and establish a state fun by the people for the people. The dictator of Amman (which is really what he is) tries to paint his country as a democracy...what farce...he will die rulling Jordan and his children will take over....and the arabs will stare into space with a question mark on their head...they never will get it!

An intriguing love and espionage story set in Moscow in the late 1970s, in the midst of the Cold War.
Twenty-nine-year-old Anna Viktorovna lives in Moscow with her young son and her father, a once popular and respected poet who has fallen into disgrace because of his dissident views. Her husband, a junior officer in the Red Army, is on active duty and living seven time zones away. Anna struggles gamely through her difficult existence, doing the best she can amidst the long lines, bureaucratic inferno, and corruption and incompetence of the police state. When she meets and makes an impression on a powerful Soviet official—Alexey Bulgyakov—her life begins to look a little brighter. Alexey is married and nearly twice her age, but he turns out to be a man of infinite patience and forbearance, and gradually a strange but solid bond grows between them. Though Anna still loves her mostly absent husband and harbors no illusions about the future, she and Alexey become lovers.
Soon Anna and Alexey's burgeoning romance is irrevocably threatened when a KGB colonel forces Anna to spy on Alexey, who is suspected of disloyalty to the state. Though Anna loathes the notion of double-crossing the man she has come to love, when her family is threatened she must comply. But Anna isn't the only character playing a double game.
With bravura storytelling, stunning authenticity, and complex yet sympathetic characterizations, The Russian Affair depicts a love that struggles to survive against all odds and despite its many-layered deceptions.
From the Hardcover edition.

Read an Excerpt
Anna laughed and pivoted to the left, turning her back to the harsh wind. The man in front of her folded his handkerchief, laid it across his empty shoes, and stepped to the brink. Instead of using water to wet himself down, he scooped up some snow and rubbed his chest with it. Then, accompanied by the bystanders' expressions of compassion and encouragement, he arched his back, sprang forward, and disappeared into the black water. Small chunks of ice bobbed against one another. Anna watched as the man swam underwater to the far end of his improvised swimming pool and surfaced there. His beard, white and unkempt a moment ago, was now gray and plastered to his cheeks.
"He ought to get a life guard's badge," the woman next to Anna cried out, pulling the fur trim of her cap down over her ears. "That way he could charge admission."
"The Moskva River belongs to everybody," a man wearing eyeglasses replied. The snowy wind bent his umbrella to one side. Anna dodged the pointy wire ribs and watched the bearded swimmer as he propelled himself through the water with increasingly powerful strokes. She pushed her way out of the group of spectators and hurried along the riverbank. Under the Krasnopresnenskaya Quay, she climbed up the icy steps and soon reached the bus stop. On the ride home, people on the bus discussed the weather. It was getting warmer, they said; tomorrow the temperature was supposed to rise above twenty below zero. That meant that the cold holidays would be ending soon, and the schools would open again. The thought elicited a satisfied nod from Anna. When Petya didn't have to go to school, everything was thrown into disorder.
With a jerk, the bus moved out of the middle lane. Anna noticed the policeman who was waving the heavy vehicle to one side; at the end of the avenue, a large, dark automobile appeared and rapidly came closer. The bus rolled into the right lane. The Chaika was already right behind it. When the big car pulled alongside, Anna could see a lady in the backseat, her hair waved, a magazine on her lap, and then the Chaika shot past. Although the policeman, too, must have noticed that the car carried only a female passenger, he saluted it as it sped away.
Anna got off the bus at the Filyovsky Park stop. The queue of people waiting on the corner indicated that the canned peaches must have finally arrived. Should she get in line? It would be her fourth queue of the day. Anna banished all thoughts of peach compote, turned into her street, and entered Residential Building Number Seven. On the fourth floor, she unlocked the door to her apartment.
"Did you get toilet paper?" her father asked.
"No, Comrade, I have procured no toilet paper," Anna answered, in her best Communist-youth-organization voice.
"If you think we can keep on using newspaper, you're wrong," Viktor Ipalyevich said, stretching out both arms and pointing from one end of the apartment to the other. "The paper in the windows was letting in drafts, so I had to replace it."
"In the living room, too?" Anna asked, putting her purse on the table.
"In the living room, in the kitchen, wherever it was." Since his daughter was paying his gesticulations no heed, he let his arms drop, took the dark brown chessboard from its shelf, and began setting up the pieces. His peaked cap, which he wore even inside the apartment, made him look younger; only his goatee betrayed the fact that the poet Viktor Ipalyevich Tsazukhin had gone gray.
Anna raised her nose. "Have you been distilling again?" Her eyes narrowed, and the blue irises grew dark.
"That's no reason to glare at your own father as though he's some sort of reprobate."
He tried to bar her way to the kitchen, but Anna was faster. On the stove, she found the telltale system of metal pipes: a many-dented teapot served as a condenser; above, in another pot, the first distillation was cooling. In the next stage of the process, the once-distilled liquor would be sent through the labyrinth again.
"Even when you close the window, the neighbors can still smell it," Anna said, looking at the elbow joint where the last pipe emptied into a converted paint can.
"And will the neighbors run to the police on account of a little glass of Four-Star Tsazukhin and denounce Viktor Ipalyevich as an unproductive Soviet citizen? Or will they hope to be invited into the courtyard on the next sunny day and served by Viktor Ipalyevich in person?"
Refusing to engage in a rhetorical battle with her father, Anna turned off the gas flame that kept the mechanism in operation. He said, "That's the way to turn Four-Star Tsazukhin into rotgut," and went into the living room, shaking his head. The velvet curtain that hid the sleeping alcove moved and a small hand appeared, followed by a child's face—the image of Anna when she was a young girl. The child's hair covered his ears and was cut straight across his forehead, just above his eyebrows. Long lashes screened his light eyes; he had a strong nose, and his mouth was a little too big.
"Are you finished now, Grandfather?" the boy asked.
Anna stepped into the living room. While the poet was announcing that the game could begin, he answered her anxious look with a nod. She formed the word temperature with her lips; her father pointed a finger upward and answered inaudibly, "Ninety-nine point seven."
"You can play only until dinner," Anna told her son by way of greeting.
Petya clambered out of the bed where they both slept and embraced his mother. In his dark blue pajamas, he resembled a miniature sailor. He jumped up onto the chair, squatted down, and moved a white pawn two squares forward. Anna carried her shopping bag into the kitchen, took out two cans, placed one between the windows, and opened the other. In order to prepare the soup, she had to move Viktor Ipalyevich's private distillery to one side.
"I have to go out later," she called into the living room. "Will you put Petya to bed?"
"You're going to the combine again?" Anna's father asked absently. "I wish I knew why you have to attend every meeting."
"To get a Category One." She dumped the red beets into the pot.
"And what's the difference between a Category One painter and the rest of them?"
Anna looked at her hands, at her gray, chapped skin, at the cracks around her wrists. "A Category One painter doesn't have to put her hands in lime anymore."
The soup began to boil. She stirred it, remembering that the meeting of the building combine wasn't scheduled to take place until the following week. The thought of her real purpose made her feel languid. She could heard her boy wheezing in the next room; the game excited him.
Shortly before seven o'clock, Anna left the apartment. The collar of her overcoat was turned up, and her fur hat was pulled down on her forehead. No one could have maintained that the cold wasn't the reason for these precautions. On the ground floor, old Avdotya, a fellow resident, was fiddling with the mailbox. "Anna Tsazukhina, I'm at my wits' end!" she cried out. Avdotya was nearly deaf. Since everyone spoke loudly to her, she took that for normal procedure and bawled at everyone in her turn.
"Have you misplaced your key again, Avdotya?"
"Indeed not! There it is!" The old woman looked up imploringly.
Anna considered the little metal drawers. Rust had made some of their numbers unrecognizable. "Isn't yours seven-oh-six?"
"Seven hundred and six, exactly!" Avdotya pointed to her key ring, which was hanging awry from one of the little doors.
"But you're trying to get into seven-eight-six." Anna stuck the key into the right hole and turned the lock. The mail drawer was empty.
"I'm waiting for a letter from Metsentsev!" Avdotya explained, without looking into the mailbox. "He's going to write me about . . ."?
But Anna had stepped out of the building, and the closing door swallowed Avdotya's last words. Anna left her street behind, turned into Mozhaisk Chaussée, and crossed to the side where the streetlights were no longer functioning. In such cold weather, fewer people than usual were out and about, but Anna kept her eyes open for someone standing still where there was nothing to see, someone who slowed his pace in the icy wind. Only when she was certain that everything on the avenue looked normal did she slip into an alleyway on her left, a narrow passage that was closed to traffic. And yet Anna knew that at the end of the alley, for the past several minutes, a black automobile had been waiting with its engine running; the driver didn't want to get cold while he waited. She hadn't taken more than a few steps on the hard-trodden snow before the car's headlights flared and a rear door opened.
"Good evening, Anton," she said, settling into the backseat.
The driver tilted his rearview mirror so that he could see her. "You're early. That's good." His full, deep voice always caused Anna to wonder if he'd once been a singer.
"Why is that good?" She took off her cap.
Anton didn't answer as he made a skillful turn in a small space and drove out onto the avenue. He paid no heed to the onrushing traffic; as he expected, all vehicles braked when their drivers realized that a ZIL government car was jumping into the inside lane. Anton accelerated, the limousine hurtled forward, and Anna was thrust back in her seat. She was so warm that perspiration ran down her spine. A bright light made her look up; Anton was overtaking the bus for Nagatino. Passengers sat in pale light. Some of them stared after the long automobile; ZIL limousines had "Special Right-of-Way." Except for weddings, driving a black automobile was forbidden. Anna smiled: If you got married, for a few hours you enjoyed the privileges of a prominent road user. She watched the bus getting smaller, certain that the weary shapes it carried figured her for a woman who was being driven, at state expense, to visit her hairdresser or pick up packages in Granovsky Street.
Anna put a hand over her eyes. Once upon a time, she would have set out on this drive full of happy expectation; she would have gazed at her reflection in the passenger's window and fixed her lipstick and adjusted her hair. Two years ago, when she was twenty-five, and after three years of marriage, her husband Leonid had finally been transferred to Moscow. To avoid having to live in a shared flat on the outskirts of the city, they had accepted Viktor Ipalyevich's offer and, together with Petya, moved in with him. Anna had obtained a good position with the building combine, earning more than her husband, who drew a lieutenant's pay; it was she who took on the chief financial burden of her four-person household.
Then, in April of that same year, her building combine had been ordered to paint the facades of several buildings along Kalinin Prospekt for the May Day celebrations. Yarov, her foreman, had opined that a new coat of paint made no sense if the rust on all metal surfaces were not removed first. There wasn't enough time for that, he was informed, and he should use colors that guaranteed anti-rust protection. Anna had kept Yarov from gainsaying this instruction, and work had begun. The plaster was loose and dry rot had invaded many walls; nevertheless, the building combine's skilled workers covered the facades in friendly shades of yellow and light gray. In order to meet the deadline, they had worked in four shifts. On the afternoon of April 30, a committee that included the government's Deputy Minister for Research Planning inspected the results. Anna didn't know who the powerful man with the greasy hair was, but the fine fabric of his overcoat gave him away as a member of the nomenklatura. While scaffolding was being dismantled and hauled away on all sides, Anna gave the arch she was working on a final stroke of her brush. Alexey Maximovich Bulyagkov stepped under her ladder and praised her flawless brushwork as the other members of the committee formed a group behind him. The Deputy Minister wanted to know how long it took for a person to learn to make such a perfectly straight stroke.
"At twelve, I joined the Pioneer Girls," Anna answered properly. "When I was sixteen, the combine offered me a trainee position. I received training to become a skilled worker, and two years ago, I passed my qualifying examination." She straightened her headscarf; her work clothes were tight on her, because under them she was wearing her heavy sweater and a pair of pajama pants. While she was trying to remember some of her building combine's outstanding accomplishments, Bulyagkov asked her name.
Anna came down the ladder. "My name is Anna Tsazukhina, and I'm twenty-seven years old."
"Are you related to Tsazukhin, the poet?"
Anna could not have said why she'd introduced herself by her maiden name. "He's my father."
Two members of the committee put their heads together.
"I'm an admirer of his work." Alexey Maximovich said, setting his foot on the ladder's lowest rung. "Of some of his work." He held out his hand; although her own was covered with flecks of paint, Anna laid her brush aside and clasped hands with the Deputy Minister.
"All the best, Anna Tsazukhina," he said, gazing at her with merry eyes. Then he turned, and he and his colleagues moved on from the archway.

A great evening. Patrick was a good host - but it might have been nice if he had spent a little more time introducing his co-players rather than just focus on his own stories.
All three were excellent and we were sad when the evening drew to a close.
It was good to see the venue completely full.

Fun evening! I especially liked hearing the mandolele in harmony with the slack key guitar. Talk story and the Aunties from the halau were also enjoyable. It was good to see the theater seats all filled too!

Well, I do have your Iceland Portfolio II and a couple of your other prints to use for reference, so I know first hand that your current materials work for you, and work very well I might add.
I use trays and have found that with my Zone VI compensating developing timer that developing Tmax-400 for 16 minutes @ 68 degrees (Pyrocat-HD 2-2-100) shuffling through the stack every 30 seconds gives me negatives that will give me very good prints on Canadian Grade 2. One of my goals was to find a combination that would work with Canadian Grade 2 Azo since there was so much of it available in 2005, while Grade 3 was and remains quite scarce.
The Zone VI timer allows me to heat up the developer (to 70-73 degrees) and it will compensate by reducing the developing time to the equivalent of 16 minutes @ 68 degrees. Sandy King's articles on the Unblinking Eye site are very educational, and the Azo forum has a lot of info on Tmy and Pryocat-hd. As you probably know, Sandy is always more than willing to share his knowledge should you have any questions.
After all, my goal is to keep one of my favorite young photographers producing prints that I will continue to want to purchase. How's that for a win-win
Again, good luck with your search. I'm sure you could use almost any film on the market and make beatiful prints, but the qualities of TMax-400 combined with Pyrocat-hd and Azo are worth investigating, IMHO. I wonder what MAS would use today if his stash of Super-XX ran dry or become too fogged to use?

'In Orbit' Installation / Tomás Saraceno
A gigantic installation work by Tomás Saraceno, entitled "in orbit," was just assembled last week in the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Germany. At a height of more than 20 meters above the piazza of the K21 Ständehaus, Saraceno has suspended a net construction within which visitors can move, apparently weightlessly. Saraceno's net construction, which is accessible on three levels, resembles a cloud landscape: those bold enough to clamber high into the web set beneath the glass cupola perceive the museum visitors far below them from the lofty heights as tiny figures in a model world. The installation will be up until September 7th. More images and architects' description after the break.

Henn recently won the architectural competition for the gas and steam power plant in Wedel, Germany.

When Projects Go Sour: 3 Architects' Candid Interview
In a recent interview, Spiegel speaks candidly with three architects who have one thing in common: projects in Germany plagued by severe delays and spiralling costs. Christoph Ingenhoven is head of Ingenhoven Architects, designers of train station Stuttgart 21. Meinhard von Gerkan of Gerkan, Marg and Partners is responsible for the Berlin Brandenburg International Airport, and finally Pierre de Meuron represents Herzog & de Meuron, designers of Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie.
These projects are well known in Germany as much for their designs as for their construction costs, and Spiegel is not shy about getting to the bottom of these controversies. Of course, the architects themselves have their own ideas about the bad press (namely that they're being unjustly blamed). Meinhard von Gerkan, for example, says:
"It's a big mistake to voluntarily serve as a figurehead, because then everyone knows whom to target. We are these figureheads, not the clients and not the construction companies. And we are liable for everything."
More of these gems from the architects, after the break....

LAWRENCEVILLE - A sex offender released from prison in 2008 after failing to register is behind bars again, this time for his Internet activity.Thursday morning, Gwinnett County deputies arrested 33-year-old Douglas Elkins, charging him with failing to register as a sex offender and violating probation. Prison records show Elkins was convicted of child molestation in 2002. According to authorities, Elkins is a member of Plenty of Fish, an online dating site. While there is nothing illegal about that, officials said, Elkins failed to provide all of his e-mail addresses and Internet passwords to law enforcement as required by law. Officials said Elkins also sent sexually explicit photos of himself to at least one woman, who does not live in Gwinnett. Whether criminal charges arise from that act is up to authorities in that jurisdiction, said sheriff's department spokeswoman Stacey Bourbonnais. "We are concerned that there may be other sites he has been on and other possible victims that he sent these type of photos to," Bourbonnais said. "If we learn of anyone residing in Gwinnett County, we will look at pressing charges of distributing obscene material if the adult person receiving them did not request them." Bourbonnais said the department is asking anyone who may have received these types of pictures from Elkins to call the Sex Offender Unit at 770-619-6808.

The European Union was planning on a bilateral trade agreement with the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) for many years. On 4 May 2007, the two sides agreed to start negotiations.
The EU-ASEAN FTA is supposed to be a comprehensive agreement. While ASEAN states are hoping to gain additional market access in the EU, the agreement is expected to have a much bigger impact in strengthening business opportunities for European TNCs in the region.
The talks have moved slowly and it's not clear if the final deal will take the form of separate agreements between the EU and individual ASEAN members, something the EU seems to prefer. This would allow European governments to avoid taking on any commitments that support the regime in Burma but also to deal with the economic heterogeneity among ASEAN members.
EU procedures require that all ASEAN countries sign a Partnership Cooperation Agreement, containing a commitment to human rights, as a prerequisite to an FTA. Indonesia has already concluded its PCA with the EU, Singapore and Thailand are in advanced stages of negotiations, and Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei are soon to begin. The Philippine government stated early on that it expects problems in negotiating a PCA, as the agreement apparently requires that the signatory state join the International Criminal Court.
