'She is fearless': Rihanna's 777 tour stylist describes her as 'inspirational' when it comes to fashion
Rihanna's fashion choices are followed almost as closely as her turbulent love life, with each outrageous outfit choice being copied worldwide by her legions of fans.
Now the stylist for Rihanna's incredible 777 tour has praised the singer's notoriously wild style, describing her as 'fearless'.
Mel Ottenburg, who is the style genius behind some of the superstars most outlandish looks, had never been tempted to dress a celebrity before Rihanna but said he could not resist the opportunity to work with the singer.

'Fearless': Rihanna wore one of her trademark OTT outfits, leaving little to the imagination, during her London gig last night for her current 777 tour
Speaking to Vogue aboard the private Boeing 777 jet currently acting as flying tour bus for the star and her entourage, Ottenburg spoke of her 'killer style', adding: 'Her body is great to dress. She wears clothes so well. I figured it all out pretty quickly - she's pretty fearless.'
very inspiring,' he said. 'She's very comfortable in her own skin. What
she wears is about who she is - even her stage costumes. It's never
The stylist, who usually dresses models for editorial fashion shoots and whose work has graced the covers of Harpers Bazar and The New York Times Style Magazine, also revealed that the singers often elaborate daring looks take surprisingly little time to achieve.

It takes just two hours to complete hair and make-up before a show or shoot and then a further 10 minutes to get dressed.
Ottenburg was a fashion design major at Rhode Island School of Design before becoming the 'Diamonds' star's personal stylist.
He now helps her prepare her look for each shoot, performance, video and interview, and designed all of the outfits for the hit-makers current 777 tour.
Ottenburg said he usually prefers to start the styling process with a piece from Rihanna's favorite designers Tom Ford, Kenzo or Givenchy, and build the look up from there.
Rhianna performances are as much defined by her wild outfits as her hit songs and sexual dance moves

He also cited costume designer Adam Selman, one of Rihanna's most loved designers, as a source of inspiration for many looks.
The three recently attended the Victoria Secret fashion show together, where Rihanna performed in one of Selman's creations, styled by Ottenburg
She wowed onstage alongside some of the most beautiful women in the word in a stunning black corset gown that was cut to the thigh to show off her suspenders, paired with long lace gloves, boots, an ostentatious pearl choker and matching pearl rimmed sunglasses.

Last night saw her perform in London in another 'fearless' outfit on the sixth stop of her 777 tour.
Rihanna stepped on stage at the Kentish Town Forum in a white suit with hand motif, and a daring leopard-print bralette beneath, completed with lashings of gold jewellery.
Staying true to form she soon removed the jacket and gyrated through a medley of hits from her seven number one albums in just the cropped top, baggy trousers and heels.
Stripping off: In true Rihanna style, she soon removed her jacket in her performance at The Forum in Kentish Town last night
The 24-year-old, real name Robyn Fenty, has invited some of her fans and members of the press to join her on the trip which is part of the promotion for her seventh album, Diamonds, and has meant the singer will visit seven countries in as many days on a specially commissioned Boeing 777 plane, culminating with a final gig in New York tonight.
Rihanna explained why she decided to do the mammoth tour, revealing: 'I wanted it to be a rock 'n' roll adventure, and I think when it's over it will be the coolest thing I've ever done. I'm that excited about it.'

Generosity appreciatedApril 05,2013On behalf of the residents, the board of trustees, the employees and myself, from the Gill Odd Fellows Home, I want to take this opportunity to thank the voters of both the town and village of Ludlow, for approving the tax abatement for two years. This is a savings of about $32,000 each year for us. Our building is getting older and our equipment needs replacing, and the cost of supplies and payroll continues to climb. We will pinch every penny and make the very best use of this that we can. Thank you so very much for your help in this achievement.

Back-Room Theocrat
Published: May 11, 2003
(Page 3 of 4)
The Iranian connection is evident in Najaf. At the gates to Imam Ali's tomb and in the alley leading to Sadr's headquarters, merchants have set up card tables from which they sell pictures of Sadr, his father and Khomeini. But Iran's influence may decline in importance as Iraq's Shiites flex their rediscovered muscles. They were weak and vulnerable during Hussein's rule, but not anymore.
Even middle-class Shiites who dislike fundamentalism revered Muhammad al-Sadr. In 1992, with the approval of the government, he became grand ayatollah of Iraq's Shiite community. His six-year tenure as grand ayatollah was marked by two trends: he was a man of peace who urged Shiites and Sunnis to drop their differences and live together as brothers, and he also became increasingly vocal in his criticism of Hussein's rule. It was this second action that apparently led to his killing in an ambush on Feb. 19, 1999.
On that day, Sadr was driving from his office, on the outskirts of Najaf, to his home. At a roundabout, his vehicle was riddled with machine-gun fire by assailants believed to have been agents of the Mukhabarat, Hussein's secret police. Sadr was killed in the fusillade, along with his driver and two of his sons, Mustafa and Muamal. The killings sparked violent protests, the most severe of which occurred in Saddam City; there was violence around Nasiriya, too.
Moqtadah al-Sadr's older brothers were their father's chief aides, and they were being groomed for leadership roles. The assassinations left Moqtadah as the heir apparent of the family. Afterward, his movements were strictly controlled and monitored by the Mukhabarat, until just weeks ago, when the Mukhabarat, along with the rest of Hussein's apparatus of oppression, was vanquished by American forces. Moqtadah al-Sadr not only outlasted Saddam Hussein; he also outsmarted him. He knew to wait for the right moment to carry on the mission of his martyred family. He also knows now that he may, in the end, share their fate.
The Hawza is deeply divided, and its division is manifested in its physical structure: it has none. The Hawza consists of mosques, houses and rooms scattered around impoverished Najaf, where different factions oversee instruction. The two most important factions are led by Sadr and by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sestani, the official religious leader of Iraq's Shiites. Through his son, who acts as his spokesman, Sestani has made it clear that he believes politics to be beneath the calling of religious figures. A few days after the collapse of Hussein's government, his house was surrounded by men said to be followers of Sadr's, and they demanded that he leave the country because he had been insufficiently active against Hussein. The standoff was defused, but Sestani and Sadr still do not speak with each other.
Sestani's office is located 150 yards from Sadr's, up another alley. When I went to Sestani's office, I was told by one of his assistants, standing at the entrance, that I could not speak with Sestani or his son, but that I could leave written questions, and a written response would be provided on the following day. My interpreter wrote down my questions, one of which asked why Sestani and Sadr were not on speaking terms.
The assistant objected to that one.
''There is no comparison!'' he said, angrily. He meant that Sestani is the highest religious authority among Iraq's Shiites and that Sadr is just an upstart who does not merit a comparison with the grand ayatollah.
Still, the assistant agreed to deliver the questions to Sestani's son, and told us to return at 10 the next morning. We did, and received a list of terse, handwritten replies.
To my question about the rivalry, the answer was, ''The position of Moqtadah al-Sadr and the religious leadership is well known by the people. His excellency'' -- a reference to Sestani -- ''is not a party in any kind of dispute. He is above all disputes and is responsible for all people.''
I had also asked whether Sestani had had or wanted any contact with the Americans occupying Iraq. The answer was concise: No.
What's dangerous about the divisions in the Hawza is that such disputes have a history of being settled violently. Just a few days after the fall of Hussein, a prominent Shiite, Sheik Abdel Majid al-Khoei, returned to Najaf from exile in London. Khoei was the son of a previous grand ayatollah, and his return, arranged and financed by the American government, appeared to be a bid by Washington to insert into Najaf a moderate, pro-Western figure.
It didn't work. On the evening of April 9, Khoei entered the shrine of Imam Ali to meet with a group of religious leaders, including the shrine's caretaker, Haider al-Rafaei, who had cooperated with Hussein's government. The meeting was an apparent attempt at reconciliation. According to a reporter for the Knight Ridder/Tribune news service, who was in Najaf that day, Khoei was accompanied by an American who identified himself as ''Dave, an employee of the U.S. government.'' Khoei had reportedly been staying at a university complex with Special Operations soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division.

Willful ignorance
Grizzly Adam used superlative terms to describe the scope and scale of doping in cycling. I commented that he's missing an important qualifier: cycling is just the largest conspiracy that we know about. But to think that larger, wealthier sports--where the competition to land a spot on a team is higher and the upside of doing so is much greater--do not have doping conspiracies at least as large that simply have not been exposed is naive.
In the early 2000's, I cheered as much as anyone for Lance as he was sweeping across France seven years in a row. I didn't think he was doping because I didn't want to think about it. I was enjoying the show too much. At some point, it just smelled fishy, too good to be true. Ulrich and Basso were doping, but Armstrong still won? Hmm.
Similarly, when I watch the NFL or Premier League or MLB, I enjoy the show. But like Lance, the show is too good to be true. Whether the shoe ever drops and a conspiracy larger, richer, and more sophisticated than cycling's is exposed is simply a matter or whether the business owners getting rich from sport ever decide that cleaning up the sport is good for their bottom line. Athletes have already shown that the incentives are just too great to ever police themselves. To think otherwise is to be willfully ignorant.
3 comments:
Reading Freakonomics and the scientific data to show rigged Sumo wrestling could probably apply to other sports. I know Horse racing is rigged and doped. Futbol players have been shown to dope and were part of the Operation Puerto. Look the reality is that if you lie and cheat to get ahead in America it is ok since you get to keep the spoils anyway.ReplyDelete
I agree with you entirely on this point. In addition, the NFLPA refused to include a comprehensive testing program in their last CBA because they wanted to be guaranteed of no false positives. Because this is scientifically impossible, they created their own loophole. I have argued for years that high level European soccer players aren't clean. There is no way they can sustain that level and that number of games for 8-10 months a year.ReplyDelete

Danny and Vlad's game of revenge against each other begins with childish pranks, and, unfortunately for Danny, ends when Vlad decides to run for mayor of Amity Park! By overshadowing voters, Vlad wins in a landslide. The new mayor is eager to use his new power to make life as miserable as possible for Danny and his friends. He shuts down the Nasty Burger, outlaws technology, creates new school uniforms, and passes so many new laws in the name of "protecting the children" that Danny finds it impossible to go ghost.moreless

Before the Plasmius clone appeared, Danny was about to reveal Vlad's secret about being half-ghost, but did he forget that Vlad could do the same to him?
In this episode it is revealed that Vlad has the ability to create small tornadoes of the pink variety.
Even though the Packers issue is never brought to this episode, Vlad could now overshadow the people of Green Bay into making them sell the team like he did to the people of Amity Park in order to become mayor.
Vlad: (Danny has just apologized) How nice; a gentleman's handshake. But you forget - where you and I are concerned, I am no gentleman!
(The entire cafeteria sees Danny in the shower)
Tucker: A ghost boy with tan lines. Who knew?
Danny: They say you can't fight city hall. They didn't say you couldn't fight in city hall!
Vlad: (When Danny turns his hotel room transparent, revealing him to the news copters) Oh, butter brickle!
Tucker: Vlad took my technology, so I'm taking his!
(Tucker rips down one of Vlad's servelance cameras)
Tucker:(To Danny) Go for it, dude. (He turns to the camera) Hello, new special friend.
Sam: Wow. A little self-serving, but another victory for our side. All in all, Danny, I'd call it a draw.
Danny: Yeah, I guess... There's only one problem with that, though- Wherever there's a draw, there's bound to be a rematch!
Sam: Uh oh...I have a bad feeling about this...
Tucker: Relax Sam. So he'll propose a couple of lame laws, how bad can it be?
(Cut to Lancer taking all of the technological items, via Vlad's Technius Act.)
Tucker: (Screaming) NNNOOOOOOOOO!
Vlad: (To Danny) Oh, what is it you young people say? Don't hate: congradulate? (Changes back into Vlad Masters while chuckling) Oh what do I care, go ahead and hate.
Danny: (To Vlad) Seems to me that you haven't had your supplements. Time for your daily dose of vitamin me!
This episode marks the first time Jack has ever shown to be angry at Vlad.
This is the second time Vlad tells Danny that he's more powerful then him. The first time was Bitter Reunions.
When Vlad says his powers are growing, he could either have been referring to him being able to create enough copies to overshadow the voters or becoming mayor of Amity Park.
Running Gag(s): 1) Jack getting excited about Vlad being mayor 2) Vlad making laws that ruin kids' lives 3) Tucker grabbing Mr. Lancer by the leg to stop him from taking his technology.
For the first time, we find out that a halfa can duplicate and then change into human form while his duplicate is still around.
Jazz, Lancer, Kwan, Star and Paulina appear in this episode, but have no dialogue.
The following are the newspaper headlines used in this episode for Vlad's ghost hunting attacks:
-Dice game busted! Ghosts involved
-Ghost caught selling stolen goods
-Vlad's squad strikes again; tax envading ghosts caught
-BOO-ya! Vlad cleans town
-Ghost Masters
This episode aired on February 3, 2007 on YTV.
The summary was listed on YTV's website before anywhere else. This is odd since the episodes air in the United States first and YTV is usually behind by at least a few weeks.
Title picture: Vlad in human form with red eyes standing on a podium with an "Against Danny Phantom" button on it. The American Flag appears in the background.
Title screen caption:"Cast your vote for horror"
Before the US premiere on, this episode aired in the Latin America Nick on January 11, 2007 along with Infinite Realms
Apparently Danny can disguise his voice while overshadowing someone now.
Danny can overshadow copies of other ghosts
Vlad destroys the Nasty Burger and builds the McMasters in it's place.
We learn Mayor Montez's first name is Ernesto.
Main Villain(s): Vlad
Despite the fact Nick aired "Urban Jungle" first, this is the real Season 3 premiere episode.
Episode: Name
This episode "Eye of an Eye" was named after the saying meaning that if you do something to someone, they'll do the same back. For example: when Danny had the Guys in White trash Vlad's house, Vlad did the same thing to Danny. Then so on and so forth.
Sign Quote: "Do you want lies with that?"
This quote on one of the sign's Sam was holding in this episode is the sub phrase for the cover of the book "Fast food nation."
Vlad: Runs for mayor.
This alludes to Lex Luthor in the President Luthor story arc from Superman.
Name: McMasters
This is a reference to the McDonald's restaurants.
Episode Title: Eye for an Eye
This may be a reference to a Gandhi saying, "An eye for an eye makes the world go blind."
Episode Title: An Eye for an Eye
This is a parody of the saying, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." This was a phrase used in one of the first writted laws called "Hamarabi's code", meaning revenge.

Exceeded my expectations for a product coming from WalMart. No offense WalMart :) I'm really glad you supply such a high quality table at a price that is way less than most others. I found this table extremely easy to unfold and to fold up when finished. The carrying case included fits perfectly. The mattress and face cradle are both very comfortable. To adjust the heighth of the table is almost effortless. Would highly recommend this table to anyone looking.
The table is perfect except it adjusts up for a hight of a giant and adjusts very little downward for a female height.
I was looking for a reliable, portable, Oval shaped massage table for my healing work. I searched the internet at various sites for the best deals. This was the best priced oval table I could find. The site to site was the best. NO shipping charges....just order, send and pickup....
My son needs frequent massages. This table is awesome for it. The oval shape is good to move around. The surface is comfortable. It is light weight. Folds very easily and packs well into its carry-on bag--portable and easily put away in a closet. Height is good. My only complaint is the arm rest is not very strong and when you have your face down and arms on the arm rest, you have to keep them on very lightly because the velcro which holds them will snap out. I also wish they were a little lower and there is no option to lower them. But all the other tables I checked in this price range have the same problem. Nonetheless it is worth it, especially if you have someone who can give frequent in-home quick massages.
I specifically wanted an oval Reiki table and this one is great. Portable, sturdy, and extremely easy to set up and down. Changing the height could not be easier. And the value is excellent! I could have easily paid 4X more money for another oval table but this one has totally met my expectations. I am very pleased!
Very impressed, high quilty, worth the money spent.

Ashley Yang, Transgender TSA Agent at LAX, Gets Hit on After Being Forced to Frisk Men
Been a while since we felt sorry for a groping TSA agent, as opposed to ourselves at the mercy of a groping TSA agent. But Ashley Yang got the worst end of this deal: In her lawsuit against the Transportation Security Administration, Yang, a very delicate, femmie transgender woman who happened to have been born a man, claims her LAX managers made her wear a manly wig (she chose a short afro; sweet) and use the men's restroom -- then fired her when she didn't.
Worst of all...
... Yang found herself subjected to sexual harassment by the men she was forced to grope, under the TSA's narrow-minded "same-sex pat down" guidelines. (Pollyanna: "At least they didn't twist your boob!")
She tells the AP that various skeezebags passing through the L.A. terminal said things like, "I haven't had a girl touch me for a long time," or, "Does this mean you are going to buy me dinner?"

Really guys?
After terminating Yang for using the women's bathroom, TSA managers at LAX have been sent off to sensitivity training (because we know how well that works), and the plaintiff has been awarded a "five-figure award for pain and suffering." But the real debate at the core of her story: When does one stop being a man and start being a woman, and does that require surgery?
In the case of airline passengers, U.S. Passport gender need only be determined by "a doctor's letter stating they have undergone a gender transition, which may have included psychological counseling and hormones," according to the AP. But birth certificates and social-security records can't be modified until proof of surgery is provided. And despite Yang's ordeal, no clear-cut guidelines have been set for TSA staff.
What do you think: Should Yang have been allowed to frisk the fairer sex, despite her estranged man-parts?

Children's Literature - Gisela JerniganIn this simple, dramatic first person account we hear and see how the Spanish, led by Cortes, first met, were welcomed by, fought, and finally defeated the Aztecs in Tenochtitlan (Mexico City). This tragic account is based on the historian Sahagun's conversations with Mexicans present at the time, and the striking illustrations come from another history by Duran, and were probably painted by native artists. Although the resulting picture book is very worthwhile and powerful, the graphic violence and mature content would make it more suitable for older readers. A source note and glossary are included. 1997 (orig.
Broken Shields: A Groundwood Bookby Krystyna Libura, Claudia Burr, Maria Cristina Urrutia
Editorial Reviews
School Library Journal - School Library JournalGr 4-8This unusual book relates the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs, using centuries old words and illustrations. The text is adapted from Friar de Sahagn's 16th-century history of New Spain. In simple, elegant language, it tells how the Spaniards appeared one year "where the sky joins the sea." The straightforward narrative, derived from accounts of Aztec witnesses, has a subtly lamenting tone, effectively set off by blunt descriptions of tragic events. The illustrations are drawn from another historical volume, presumably painted by natives, and inventively adapted for this book. One key figure or object in each painting is moved off to the side, leaving a blank white silhouette where it was originally placed. This technique accentuates certain images and adds to the striking drama of the events. Despite the brevity of the text, the words are clear enough to convey the general progression of events. Still, readers who are already familiar with the history will benefit most from this book. Sally Mathews's The Sad Night (Clarion, 1994), also in a picture-book format, offers more historical background, while Broken Shields conveys the firsthand immediacy of the events more emotionally. Thus, this new title complements the older one and makes a valuable, uniquely insightful resource for anyone studying the Aztecs or New World exploration.Steven Engelfried, West Linn Public Library, OR

Dear Karma Cleanser:
For 13 years, I gave money to a woman who regularly came to my house to beg. Last summer, things escalated and she was at my home three or four times a week. One day, she was waiting on my porch for a handout when my neighbor asked, "So, when are y'all going on vacation?" The woman then said, "So when are you going on vacation?" I didn't say, but for the first time she demanded a restroom. I acquiesced. (She's much larger than me.) The next day, a car that I can connect with her was parked in front of my home, surrounded by four young men. They didn't notice us until my child and I were walking toward our home, at which point they leapt into the car and sped off, as did a car across the street manned by two young women.
That day, I went to the police station and asked for extra patrols while we were gone on vacation. About two months later, the woman appeared at my door. I waved her away, but she just kept knocking. About 30 minutes went by and she returned, and the knocking and ringing began again.
I called the police, asking that they tell her to leave me in peace. Unfortunately, she had two outstanding warrants against her, and they carried her off to jail -- not my intent whatsoever.
After 13 years of kindness, I got physically scared for me and my child. Will I be in karma hell? Did I do wrong? I never meant to get her arrested.
– -- Guilt, Guilt, Guilt!
Your karma is gold, perhaps even platinum, for showing so much charity to this obviously deranged person. Your mistake was a lack of moderation. Some spiritual teachers tell us to "give until it hurts," but in this case your giving ended up hurting both parties. Should the woman show up again, bless her for her perseverance, but let her know that your donations are now going to an agency.
Dear Karma Cleanser:
I've been reading your answers ever since I moved back to the South and started picking up the paper, and I've noticed something. You write about karma and retribution and yet there's never any discussion of reincarnation. Why is that?
I did not believe in reincarnation until I started dating someone who has vivid recollections of a past life. She and I knew each other when I lived here years ago though we only started a romantic relationship when I came back to the city. She also enjoys your column a lot but feels like the reincarnation element is a vital part of karma.
– -- History Repeating
Thanks for reading, and welcome back. We suspect you're fixated on the reincarnation angle because it speaks to your own experience of returning to a place that you once left, and we all want to discover our own autobiographies in everything we read. The Karma Cleanser tends to focus singularly on this life at hand. Really, isn't that enough to manage?

Jordan Jumps Ship in NOLA
New Orleans has seen it's share of problems since Katrina paid a visit two years ago... including the near collapse of it's criminal justice system. And plenty of people pointed a finger at District Attorney Eddie Jordan. Under the weight of the criticism, a $3.7 million discrimination verdict against his office, and accusations that he let a wanted robbery suspect stay in his home... he's decided to call it quits. Nobody's saying his leaving will fix the office overnight, but they're hoping it's a start. We'll talk with a reporter in NOLA about his tenure, and what his resignation means for the city.

"Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice" — Anton Chekhov, 19th century Russian playwright.
* It's high season for complaining about taxes. But have you ever wondered exactly how Michigan's tax system operates. The inestimable Citizens Research Council of Michigan does an annual overview of the state tax system. The latest version is a must-bookmark for citizens so they can check the claims made by various political types:
* A photo of Gov. Rick Snyder was on the home page of Reason Magazine last week (reason.com) illustrating this piece about Detroit's ongoing fiscal crisis. The author argues that nothing short of legal bankruptcy can turn around the Motor City:
* Richard Florida makes note of a survey that finds the activity of driving — and the desire to do so — dropping among American young people. The cynic in me thinks that this might be tied more to economics than anything, since the jobless rate for under-35s is much worse than for those of us who are tad more mature:
* "Free parking." From benign Monopoly board space to central tenet of suburban retail development, free parking is one of those concepts so deeply embedded that few even consider its origins or implications. Why should parking be free, as opposed to other uses of private — or even public — property? And since property and its maintenance carry costs, how can parking be "free" anyway? Someone, somehow, is paying for this:
* A website with the motto of "drive less … live more" can't be considered objective about the question of how we ferry ourselves around our communities. Still, this company has come up with a fascinating tool to test the "walk score" of your locale:
* The National Centerfor Health Statistics reported last week that the teen pregnancy rate has fallen to a historic low. In 2010, Michigan's birth rate for those ages 15 to 19 was 30.1 per 1,000. That's below the U.S. average of 34.3. By my count, Michigan's is the 19th lowest rate among the states. Click the link below to see a color-coded national map of 2010 rates:

Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Tempers flared Friday night between the Celtics and Suns.Rapid reaction after the Phoenix Suns defeated the Boston Celtics 88-71 Friday night at the US Airways Center:
If the Celtics had to do it all over again, they might just have steered the team plane directly to Los Angeles after Thursday's game in Portland, and forfeited Friday's debacle in Phoenix. Not only did Boston play awful, scoring a season-low 71 points on 34.2 percent shooting against one of the worst defenses in the league, but (in no particular order)...
Both coach Doc Rivers and Kevin Garnett were ejected; Boston earned a staggering six technical fouls overall; Glen Davis tweaked a hamstring and sat out the second half; Shaquille O'Neal picked up two fouls within the first 93 seconds and was limited in his first game back after sitting out three in a row with a sore hip; and Marcin Gortat (of all people) erupted for 11 of his career-high 19 points in the first quarter to stake Phoenix to an early 14-point cushion.
The Celtics did make a valiant charge in the fourth quarter, slicing an 18-point deficit in half before two dreadful possessions sucked the life out of the rally and a dust-up between Garnett and Channing Frye left the Suns shooting six consecutive free throws and fill-in coach Lawrence Frank emptying the Boston bench.
Rivers earned his first ejection of the season after referee Steve Javie tagged him with consecutive technical fouls late in the second quarter. After the game, Rivers used measured words to keep money in his wallet, but express his exasperation with the situation.
"Not sure," Rivers told reporters in Phoenix when asked what led to his first technical. "I didn't earn it. So you'll have to ask Mr. Javie."
Pressed, Rivers added, "[Javie] actually came into our huddle. We were standing there, he came up to us. I'll tell you exactly what was said. He said, 'You guys are complaining way too much.' And I said, 'Well, let's make the right calls.' And his answer back was, 'I'll make a call for you.' And that's how I got the tech."
Rivers could be seen on the broadcast chastising Javie, repeating, "It's all about you," and his mock clapping after the first technical led to Rivers' second infraction and his departure with Boston trailing 40-25 with 4:33 to play in the second quarter.
"I didn't have any choice words for him," Rivers told reporters. "I didn't say a word. I didn't even swear then. You know what I said? 'It's about the game. It's not about one individual.' That's all I said, over and over again. Whatever, it wasn't about that -- why we lost the game. We didn't play well, I thought they played well. It happens."
In a game that was already a bit chippy (Mickael Pietrus earned a fourth-quarter flagrant that featured some shoving with Garnett), tempers reached a boil late in the final frame. Garnett appeared to deliver a low (but perhaps unintentional) blow to Frye while shooting a 3-pointer and, when Frye landed on Garnett's foot following the attempt, he sprang up and got into Garnett's face. The Boston bench rushed to separate the pair and, after a lengthy video review, the Celtics were tagged with four technical fouls (two for Garnett -- one being a double technical with Frye -- and one apiece for Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson).
From his vantage point, Rivers didn't understand why Garnett got tossed.
"I'm in the locker room, I was very surprised," Rivers told reporters. "I saw it on TV and I actually thought Channing Frye was the instigator. Kevin didn't jump in Channing Frye's face. I thought Channing Frye jumped in Kevin's face. I don't know how we get a throw out to Kevin on that. Who knows.
"The foul was [Frye] stepped on [Garnett's] foot. Channing Frye came down and landed on Kevin's foot. He definitely did that. Kevin didn't do it on purpose. That's all I saw with the foul. They showed that over and over again. That was pretty clear."
But what about Garnett's low blow?
"If that did happen, then it would only be the 20th time it happened in the game by everybody," Rivers told reporters. "You see it all the time. Guys always poke at your stomach and, come on, if that's what gets a guy upset, then he's a really tough guy."
The Suns' lead topped out at 18 with just under eight minutes to play in the fourth quarter. To Boston's credit, it fought back (seemingly ignited by the Pietrus flagrant). Garnett hit a pair of free throws, then a 7-foot turnaround jumper before Ray Allen added a 3-pointer. Robinson's 20-foot jump shot made it 78-69 with 5:29 to play, but things went sour quickly.
Robinson got a long rebound off Phoenix's next possession and pushed the ball hard up the court before pulling up for an ill-advised 25-foot, off-balance 3-pointer from the top of the key (20 seconds still on the shot clock). It found iron and Gortat produced a layup at the other end to push the lead back to double digits. Perkins followed with an unnecessary illegal screen, causing a turnover 13 seconds before the KG-Frye dust-up.
"We're humans," Rivers told reporters. "It happens. You can have great standards, and we do, and you just have a stinker, and tonight was one of those nights. We don't have many of them. Yet, through it all, it was still a nine-point game in the fourth quarter. We had two breaks, one was [an illegal screen] and one was a ill-advised three, so, even through all that, we still had a chance to get back in the game."
The Celtics will enjoy a much-needed day off Saturday as they trek to Los Angeles for Sunday's showdown with the Lakers. It is the first meeting between the teams since Game 7 of the NBA Finals and Boston will almost certainly get caught up in the emotion returning to the Staples Center for the west coast matinee.
But after Friday's head-slapper, the Celtics need to avoid getting overly emotional and simply play their game. In the end, Sunday's game means no more than the road-trip finale two nights later against the Sacramento Kings. Yes, it will be impossible for the Celtics' players to believe that -- and with good reason -- but after two ugly outings in a row to start this trip, Boston could use a solid all-around effort (and will need it to beat the Lakers).
When a guy like Gortat puts up 19 points and 16 rebounds on your team, you just tip your cap and move on. His shrug-worthy 3-pointer at the end of the first quarter, putting the Suns out front, 30-16, should have told Boston it was going to be one of those nights.

Vibram 5 Finger: Barefoot Shoe Alternative For Sport And Styleby Fashion Finds
You may have gone barefoot as a child, only to be told by your conservative mom and dad that people are meant to wear shoes.

XR3 Diesel Hybrid Now Available Factory Assembledby George Delozier

Revisit Old Memories With The Digital Slide & Negative Converterby Boomer Babe

Street Style: What Karlie Kloss Looks Like When She's Just Chillin'
We know, we know this might not be the most inspirational look we've run through Street Style, but it's so refreshing to see off-duty model Karlie Kloss looking just that: off duty. Shopping in Soho (our spidey senses are telling us she may have picked up a lil somethin', somethin' at DKNY?!), we spotted the beauty despite her dressed-down threads. Not that she was hard to find, towering above the street — yes, even in those simple ballet flats.
When all the makeup and super-high heels and breath-constricting dresses come off, it's cool to see Karlie in her own, most comfortable state. A black tank, the perfect knock-around skinny jeans, and black-and-gold details make her laid-back outfit work for her. And paired with that fresh face (and book!), who can resist? Tell us your love for KarKlo in the comments below and click down for one sweet, candid moment.

A Testy Branson Flirts With the Market Again
Published: May 26, 2002
(Page 2 of 3)
Virgin Atlantic does not publish full financial results, but another Virgin airline -- Virgin Express, a budget carrier based in Melsbroek, Belgium -- does because Sir Richard sold 40 percent of it to the public in November 1997, using the proceeds to reposition Virgin Express from a charter airline to a low-cost carrier. Its figures show that some of Virgin's attempts to take on larger rivals can prove costly.
Virgin Express, which flies only within Europe, earned 130,000 euros ($119,600 at current exchange rates on sales of 212 million euros in 2001, after recording losses totaling more than 70,000 euros in the two previous years. As it battled Sabena, the Belgian flag carrier, Virgin Express revamped and cut its fleet by nearly half, to 14 aircraft, a strategy that benefited from Sabena's collapse last year.
Still, the success of larger rivals -- Ryanair of Ireland and EasyJet of England, which recently agreed to buy Go Fly to become the largest European low-cost carrier -- will ''make it much harder for Virgin to get critical mass,'' said Christopher Avery, an analyst at J. P. Morgan Chase.
THE first of the planned share sales -- of Virgin Blue, the Australian budget airline -- has raised valuation issues. Some analysts put Virgin Blue's value at upward of £500 million, raising the question of why Sir Richard, who says the airline is among his fastest-growing and best-performing companies, sold half to the Patrick Corporation, a shipping company in Australia, for only £96 million in March.
Warwick Negus, an investment banker with Goldman, Sachs who advised Sir Richard on the sale, said it made sense to take ''some risk off the table'' when the returns on Sir Richard's initial £7 million investment in Virgin Blue have already been ''phenomenal.'' Virgin Blue would be able to expand faster with an experienced partner in the region, Mr. Negus added.
Virgin Mobile, which recently reported a loss of £59 million on revenue of £174 million for the year ended Dec. 31, will require money to expand in the United States, where it is starting a virtual service -- meaning that it leases capacity from the networks of other operators -- with Sprint this summer. It has a similar partnership with Optus in Australia and T-Mobile in Britain.
Equally problematic, at least for potential investors, is the Virgin Rail Group, which is mired in the mess of Britain's aging railway system. As part of his bid for two train franchises, Sir Richard agreed to a gradual elimination of government subsidies. By introducing gourmet food, cellphones and video screens, he planned to attract enough new customers to raise revenue sharply. He was so optimistic that instead of receiving subsidies, he promised to pay the government a bonus of £4.3 million next year.
The optimism has faded. Virgin's two cross-country train routes have the worst on-time record and the most passenger complaints of the five long-distance operators, according to the Strategic Rail Authority, the nation's railroad regulator. Rather than a revenue windfall, Virgin is facing a shortfall, and analysts say the company could lose money this year. Rather than pay the government a bonus, Virgin is negotiating to renew the subsidies.
Moreover, Virgin is facing a 53 percent increase in leasing costs, to £287 million, by April 2005, to pay for new high-speed trains, according to Mike Stoddart, an analyst at ING Barings in London. That is a sharp increase, Mr. Stoddart noted, for a company that he estimates earned £20 million on revenue of £445 million in the year ended in April.
Mr. Stoddart said that there is ''no chance'' that Virgin Rail could successfully sell shares to the public, because investors have soured on the sector after losing billions of dollars when Railtrack, the company that owns Britain's tracks and stations, filed for the British equivalent of bankruptcy protection earlier this year.
To be sure, some factors roiling the railway system are beyond Sir Richard's control. An insolvent Railtrack, for instance, has indefinitely delayed track improvements that most train operators were counting on to improve service. And in classic Branson style, Sir Richard is pressing ahead with plans to sell shares in Virgin Rail despite others' skepticism.
''Branson is the Robin Hood character who flies in the face of traditional stereotypes,'' said Keith Lucas, a director of Landor Associates, a consulting firm. ''He's seen as a victim who's been let down by the infrastructure, and he can come back smelling of roses.''
OTHER businesses have failed to live up to expectations. When he began Virgin Cars, an online dealership, in May 2000, Sir Richard was quoted in newspapers as predicting that the company would sell 24,000 cars in its first year and soon become one of Britain's largest car retailers.
