Denim Review: Rich & Skinny Denim Cargo Leggings
UPDATE – I have updated this review with better photos because the original ones were not very good. The lighting was bad and they were not very clear. The original post was made on the 11th June 2010 in case you were wondering.
This weeks denim review from me is for the brand new Rich & Skinny cargo denim leggings. I got these 2 weeks ago and they are so cute!! I fell in love with them when I saw them in their Fall 2010 Look Book that I published a while ago. I had to have them as I am loving the cargo pant trend and having a pair of denim ones I really like the idea of. I hope to be reviewing more denim cargos soon too!
I found these denim cargos run quite small, I'm normally a 26/27 in Rich & Skinny and these leggings are a 27 and super tight in the waist, I would definitely prefer to size up to a 28 with these. I know it's always really hard to judge your sizing in jeans, they vary from pair to pair so much! It all depends on the denim and it's stretch factor as well.
Putting the sizing issue aside, I find these cargo leggings to be really hot! They are of denim legging material so they are extremely stretchy and soft, they mold to your body shape and fit really snug. They have 3 buttons at the waist band to add to that cargo feel and the pocket placement on the legs is in a great place, I think they are perfectly positioned. I really like that they are on the front of the legs instead of on the side, that makes them quite unique.
The wash is also a rich, deep, dark blue, it's gorgeous! It has such a depth to it and it looks really premium. Some washes on jeans you can get and they don't look very nice or they look a little cheap. This wash doesn't look cheap at all, it looks like it has a lot of strength in the colour and boldness to it. The back pockets are also really nice, they are quite different to the normal Rich & Skinny pockets as they have flaps on but they are still very pretty. They also have the trademark R on the bottom of the back pocket but it's a very dark blue. I find the copper coloured hardware on these jeans really matches the wash beautifully, it stands out and I like that as well!
I'm doing a new layout for the reviews now to help them load faster, 1 main images and then the rest are gallery images so you can select which photos you want to view or scroll through them. If I don't do it this way I will put them with a more button so you can click the post and view every image. I don't want to take up the whole of the DenimBlog front page with my reviews, haha.
Overall Opinion
I'm definitely not disappointed with these Rich & Skinny cargo leggings at all, they are just as I expected them to be! Flattering, soft, stretchy and very pretty. If you love these as much as I do and want to get a pair then I definitely recommend sizing up one size from your normal Rich & Skinny sizing. I want more of these cargos in different washes! Especially the Aloe wash which we are running a contest for right now! I'm not sure when this particular wash will be available but I will definitely keep you informed!

Denim Review: J Brand Earhart In Vintage Pendelton
This weeks review is on the brand new pants from J Brand, the J Brand Earhart flight pants in Vintage Pendelton. J Brand sent these to me to review and I'm pretty sure they are going to be the trend for the Summer, just like their Houlihan pants were last year. Please excuse some of the photos, I was having issues with the sun shining on the lens and then unfortunately it started to rain so there are rain spots too, ha ha. Nothing like English weather!
The comfort of these pants is the most amazing thing about them, they are even comfier and softer than most sweat pants. They are made from a 6oz twill fabric, so you can imagine just how soft that is, and it's thin enough to keep you really cool in the hot weather. Because these are looser, they make moving in them really easy, I could quite happily do anything in these without feeling uncomfortable, I'm sure.
I took a 27 in these which is my Agnes and Houlihan size, although I can fit a 28 in the Houlihan, a 27 is perfect in these because I didn't want them too baggy. My one big issue with these Earhart pants though is the leg opening, it's designed to sit mid calf but because I have very small calves I find they slip down a lot on me, they fall down into full length pants quite often. If I put them up higher, they bunch too much and look silly so that's my biggest flaw with these. But like I said, I do have small calves, so for the rest of you they should be perfectly fine and stay up.
The Vintage Pendelton wash is a shade of brown that reminds me a lot of the woods, it's very earthy and it was my favourite colour out of all of the ones available. Because it's brown it will go with many other colours so it's pretty easy to put together an outfit quickly. There isn't much to say except that these are twill so they are very soft and gentle against the skin, like the Houlihan pant, but they feel thinner and more breezy.
The lack in back pockets on a loose pant like these does make me feel a bit cautious though, I find that they don't give much definition or shape to your butt because they don't have pockets, but the prettiness of these from the front and the overall comfort level gets rid of that all together. I think these will be perfect for dressing up with heels or down with flats, they are very versatile. I also think they will suit a lot of shapes, if you are slim you can get away with them looser or tighter but if you have curves I think wearing them tight would be a lot more flattering to your figure.
Like I said above, I have high hopes for these, I can see the celebs wearing them when it's boiling hot, I feel like they are going to be the new 'it' pant for J Brand. Buy these J Brand pants at J Brand online for $235.

Denim Review: O*T*R Renegade Skinny Jean in Notorious
This weeks review is on a pair of O*T*R Renegade Skinny jeans in Notorious. I got sent these by Boutique To You a while ago and I was pleasantly suprised by them actually. I am always slightly hesitant when so many new brands come on the scene and then just disappear so I always tend to stick to what suits me the best but these O*T*R jeans have been a good shock. I hope the brand stays around!
At first I thought they would just be another cheap pair of jeans which were not a very nice fit or have a nice look to them, but I was wrong as soon as I put them on. They are leggings so they are super skinny all the way to the ankle and they definitely elongate your legs. They are a lower rise which is just how I like the rises to be and they run pretty true to size for leggings, I took a 27 in these and they fit just fine.
The back pockets are also in a very good position but they are accentuated by the stitching lines on the butt. They have moto style stitching all around the top area of the pockets and a few lines on the sides of the pockets as well as at the hem line. I find these lines really add some character to the jeans as the wash is very plain and subtle, they definitely make them more interesting. I do feel that the lines definitely don't make the butt look as good as it could if the jeans were plain but the design is intriguing so I like it.
They are made with cotton and polyester so if you have a irritation to polyester then these do itch a bit. They are so pretty though so it's worth actually putting up with the slight itching. The denim is really thin and stretchy as well so they hug your body perfectly while still maintaining the appearance of a jean rather than a legging. The wash is a medium to light blue which has a sort of dusty look to it so it's easy to pair with a lot of colours or just neutrals.
I think these are definitely a fun jean for fashion purposes but for essential jeans which are really sturdy and flattering I would still recommend the main stream brands. These do make a nice change though and quite a few celebs are a fan of them already! You can buy these jeans at Boutique To You for $136.

Denim Review: Paige Premium Verdugo Jeggings In Eternity
This weeks review is on a pair of jeans similar to my last review, the Paige Premium Verdugo jeggings in Eternity. I got these around the same time as the 7 For All Mankind jeans in Garnet and I like them maybe just a little bit more. The only reason is because of the shade of purple/red they are, it's beautiful.
The fit of these jeans is the classic Verdugo jegging fit, super stretchy and really comfortable yet still remaining flattering. They have a low rise which is the perfect height and the one thing I love about Paige's jeans is that she knows how to make the back rise a bit higher so you don't show off your butt when you sit down. This pair is made from cotton and elastane and is so soft! Being that these are a twill material they do attract the fluff and hairs so they do get quite dirty quickly but that's easily removed with some tape.
The colour is my favourite thing about these jeans! I fell in love with them a long time ago when I saw them on Blake Lively (here). It's a deep red but it has tones of purple in it as well, it's a really unique shade and it's just so pretty! If I had the choice of only wearing one coloured pair of jeans, it would be this colour. It's perfect for so many occasions as it's warm and and it reminds me of ruby's. When I wore these to London to see Paige she said that the Eternity was one of her favourites too.
I would definitely recommend these to you if you are looking for a coloured jean, the red tones are definitely in this season and they match pretty much everything. I was sent these jeans by Designs by Stephene and I was over the moon because I had wanted them for so long. You can buy Paige jeans at their online store here.

I don't get it. Maybe they're considering Philly local here in Jersey??? I don't know.
I'm ticked off because I was over my in-laws eating dinner, and a couple that they do business with who were originally from China were visiting. They wanted to watch the opening ceremonies from Beijing (understandably), and I did not object, since I had the HD feed of NFL network set to record on the DVR back home.
By the way, the opening ceremonies were un-freakin-believeable. If any of you have ever been to a Cirque du Soleil, it was like that times 1000, with cutting edge technology and top notch pyrotechnics thrown in. That birds nest stadium is just insane...it makes Heinz Field look like the bleacher seats at my high school football field. Just thought I'd mention that, since 99% of the regular posters here were likely tuned into the first preseason game over the Olympics.
Anyway, I get home and turn on the game and...blackness. I guess since it was being shown on FSN Pittsburgh, they did not also show it on NFL Network too (even though the interactive guide said it would be on). Sucks! I caught the FSN postgame stuff last night, and I have the re-air of the game set to record tomorrow morning.
I hate watching games when I already know the outcome, but it is not as bad for a preseason game since I am more interested to see how certain players looked instead of the overall outcome, but it still ticks me off that I was all hyped up to watch the game last night, but now I have to wait until tomorrow.

The optical properties have been investigated using EDX, UV–Visible spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The nanocomposite formation was confirmed using EDX as well as UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. Raman study confirms the β phase of PVDF. The UV–Vis spectroscopy accounts for a significant continuous decline in optical band gap and optical activation energy, while increase in refractive index with ZnO nanoparticles incorporation. The results imply that the effectiveness in shielding of UV radiation is due to absorption capacity of ZnO nanoparticles incorporated in PVDF. The increase of absorption in the UV-region of the spectrum is due to the excitations of donor level electrons to the conduction band at these energies. This decrease of band gap may be attributed by presence of unstructured bulk defects. The optical properties of nanocomposite thin films were shown to depend on ZnO content and possessed the most optimal optical properties.

DEERFIELD, Ill. -- Derrick Rose started Tuesday night against the New York Knicks. Joakim Noah, meanwhile, sat again.
Chicago Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said the team has discussed sitting Noah for a few more games as he continues to be hampered by plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
"His foot's a little bit sore," Del Negro said Tuesday morning. "So we'll probably be a little bit cautious and get him some rest, but I want to wait and see."
Noah missed the last four games before the All-Star break because of the injury.
"We're going to look at that," Del Negro said of the possibility of sitting Noah for a longer period of time. "Just give him some more rest for the next two, three, four, five [games]. It just depends. The plantar fasciitis is very difficult [to get rid of]. He's feeling better. He's not where he'd like to be and we want to be smart about it."
Rose, who missed practice on Monday because of a hip bruise, gave it a go. He scored 29 points in Chicago's 118-85 win Tuesday.
"He's not 100 percent," Del Negro said before the game. "He's a little bit sore, but he got his work in this morning and he's feeling a little bit better."
Rose was injured on Wednesday when he drove for a layup and was fouled by the Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard, who dropped Rose flat on his back. An X-ray in the United Center showed no structural damage, and that was confirmed by the MRI.
Rose did not defend his Skills Challenge title during All-Star festivities on Saturday in Dallas, but he did play 15 minutes during Sunday's game, scoring eight points to go with four assists and three steals.

What Makes Them Sexy?
Find out why Johnny Depp, Jake Gyllenhaal and 10 other guys are oh-so appealing. By Serena Kappes
From his multiple tattoos to his unpredictable choice of roles, Johnny Depp, 42, coolly strolls to the beat of his own drummer – with a mysterious allure. "He manages to morph into the characters he plays," says his Pirates of the Caribbean costar Orlando Bloom. But no matter his role – be it a rotting-toothed pirate or a man in drag (Before Night Falls) – Depp's chiseled features just can't be masked.
Nine years after surviving cancer, Armstrong, 34, won his seventh consecutive Tour de France – and an eighth victory could be on the way this summer. "I learn so much from Lance's determination to live life every minute to the fullest," Sheryl Crow has said of her fiancé, whose cancer charity work has helped sell more than 50 million LIVESTRONG bracelets. "Besides, he's hot."
When Gyllenhaal's older sister Maggie introduced him to Kirsten Dunst in 2002, he trusted her instincts. No surprise there. "He's one of my best friends," says Maggie, three years his senior. And the sibs, who share a passion for acting and politics, also share good genes: The 6 ft.-tall Jarhead star, 24, is a heartthrob. "He's gorgeous, and he's got those big dreamy eyes," says his Moonlight Mile costar Susan Sarandon.
Long before Kutcher, 27, tied the knot with Demi Moore, he was already a trusted confidante to her daughters Rumer, 17, Scout, 14, and Tallulah, 11, who call him "MOD," or "My Other Dad." "He has taken the kids as his own," says pal Greg Link. "We talk about everything," Kutcher once told Oprah Winfrey. "Between me and Bruce (Willis), I don't know that a guy's ever going to (want to) come in."
In his nine-year marriage to Melanie Griffith, Banderas, 45, has stuck with her through the tough times, including her 2000 addiction to painkillers. The couple are so close that when he was filming The Legend of Zorro in Mexico, Griffith got a job as a horse wrangler to be near him. She's "generous, a great mother and a great lover," says Banderas of his wife.
He sings, he dances, he acts: What's left for Usher to do? Ask the multitalented performer, 27, and he'll say the sky's the limit. "I've got to become the richest man alive," he says. "I want it all – a little bit of Will Smith, Puffy and Michael (Jackson)." With a leading-man role in the upcoming comedy In the Mix, who knows what the buff star will add to his resume next. "I've got a lot of plans," he says.
Forget first-class: McConaughey, 35, prefers an Airstream trailer to a flashy limo any day. He's a football-loving, barbeque-cooking ("Ribeyes on the grill – charcoal, not gas," he says) regular guy – who happens to be a movie star. And his sweetie, Penelope Cruz, has no trouble seeing what's so appealing about her man – besides his six-pack abs and killer grin, that is. He has "great charm," she says.
He sells out stadiums – but the international activist has an even more exclusive audience: heads of state. The U2 frontman, 45, recently sat down for lunch with President Bush and has brought together world leaders including Tony Blair (left) and Germany's Gerhard Schroeder in his quest to lower Third World debt. "I am blown away by this man," Oprah Winfrey once said about the singer. "He's kind of my religion," says Crossing Jordan star Jill Hennessy.
He's had his share of Hollywood girlfriends, but Damon didn't find his soul mate on a movie set – they met in a bar. And since meeting Argentina-born bartender Luciana Barroso in Miami Beach in 2003, Damon, 35, has treated her like a princess – complete with jaunts to the Bahamas and yachting trips in Italy. Even before getting engaged in September, it was clear that he was "very serious about her," says pal Jamal Prince. And he's taken Barroso's daughter Alexia, 7, under his wing, too.
Beckham, 30, is fearless on the soccer field – and equally daring with his fashions. "David Beckham's got a lot of style. He's a handsome guy and can throw together a good ensemble," says Seal. "And he's always doing something just for kicks, like wearing nail polish." It's no wonder the fit sports star inspires imitation – and has a flock of admirers. "I'm a big David Beckham fan," gushes Hilary Duff.
"Thank God I have a man with a lot of patience who helps me," says Heidi Klum of husband Seal, 42. "The family is our life." The British singer – now dad to son Henry, who was born on Sept. 12 – sets a standard: Even though he's not the biological father of Klum's 1-year-old daughter, Leni (left), he's always considered her his child. "I've dreamt my whole life of having what I have now," he told PEOPLE last year. "I feel complete."
Not content to rest on his movie-star laurels, McGregor, 34, got his motor running and headed out on the highway for a monster road trip last year. The Stay star completed a 20,000 mile, 3-1/2-month motorcycle tour through 13 countries with pal Charley Boorman. "There were no roads there, just gravel," the Scottish actor says of riding through Mongolia. "But we ploughed on, and I'm glad we did." So are we.

Unique and original and made very nice. Just right to fit on the cabinet in my living quarters horse trailer. Adds character to such a small place and it doesn't take up any space. My other horse friends always notice it.
06/11/2015By Cindy T.
They look great in my living quarters horse trailer. Wahoo...just took my look "uptown"!
06/07/2015By Brownie
These are great. What I like best is that they don't fall off the door every time you hang up a towel. I have a cheaper one from another company and it comes off the door every time you reach for the towel. I have both the one with horses and the one with the star. Have them in kitchen and bathrooms. Love both designs.
01/07/2015By Laurie
I needed a towel holder in my kitchen as I have no room for one. I saw this for the cuboard door and it if perfect. Had to add some pads inside so it wouldn't slide off, and it works great! Very Nice!
01/07/2015By Laurie
I like the look of the towel, but it was a bit thin. I use it for looks and it looks nice in the kitchen! Thank you.

Beautiful! Wish I bought several, but won't since shipping costs are painful.
11/04/2013By saddlebag
My friend bought one for her little camper which was short of hanging space for a towel - it is so cute and functional....that I bought one for my kitchen and now don't have to drip all over the kitchen floor.
01/06/2013By Masona
I love it, and it solved the problem of where to hang the towel. I also gave one to
my daughter for Christmas for her new ranch and she loved it.

10/30/2012By WILDWICKED
I really love this. I am trying to use the western theme all through my house and this works right in. It is heavy enough that when you reach for the towel the whole thing doesn't come up with the towel.
07/27/2012By Lou
Easy to use just hang over cabinet door

Just what my daughter wanted. Received my order VERY promptly! Will certainly order from you again!

MMA: Bisping makes new home in O.C.
"The Ultimate Fighter 3" winner Michael Bisping started coming to Orange County to train in 2007 through his relationships with Tito Ortiz and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
For years, Bisping talked about moving to Orange County and he finally moved his girlfriend, Rebecca, and their three kids out here last year. They are in the process of purchasing a home in Orange.
"She was like, 'Listen, I don't care where we go as long as we leave England,'" Bisping said. "I love England, but she is just sick of the weather and she says everybody is miserable. We flirted with the idea of Australia, but for my career and where I am right now it didn't make sense, so, yep, Orange County it is.
"Obviously, the weather is fantastic. The lifestyle is great. We love the lifestyle, the people, the food. There's lots of things to do for the children. But as far as my profession there's such great access to fantastic training, great training partners, great coaches. The sport is bigger out here than any place in the world. The level of professionalism is second to none."
Living and training in the county has opened up more opportunities for sponsorships and appearances. His main gym is H.B. Ultimate Training Center in Huntington Beach and he also works with his new boxing coach, Jason Parillo, at the RVCA Gym in Costa Mesa.
Bisping said his three kids, Callum, 11, Ellie, 9, and Lucas, 2, have settled in well. Callum and Ellie are in school. Callum, who trains Brazilian jiu-jitsu and kickboxing, recently took up flag football, which Bisping said he's still trying to figure out. Bisping said Ellie speaks with an American accent and he doesn't "know how I feel about that."
"We jokingly say, 'We're going back to England,' and they say, 'No, no, we want to stay," said Bisping, who added he hopes to make Orange County their permanent home.
Bisping's outspoken nature and straight-talking attitude has made him a lightning rod for MMA fans. Bisping falls in that rare category of fighters who fans either love or hate, but they always want to see him fight.
"Maybe I talk too much, who knows," Bisping said. "I'm just honest, maybe to a fault."
Bisping steps in the octagon to face former WEC light-heavyweight champion Brian Stann in one of the featured bouts at UFC 152 on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Toronto on pay-per-view.
"He's kind of a one-trick pony," Bisping said of Stann. "He's got some power in his hands and that's about it. Obviously in mixed martial arts, grappling, jiu-jitsu, wrestling and all that, he doesn't seem too skilled in those areas. Most of his losses have come when he's been outwrestled and outgrappled, so yeah, l've looked at that."
Following the cancellation of UFC 151, Jon Jones is ready to defend his UFC light-heavyweight title against former champion Vitor Belfort at UFC 152 on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Toronto on pay-per-view.
"Vitor Belfort is a UFC original, a real, true legend," Jones said at Wednesday's UFC 152 open workouts in Toronto. "He has so much experience at so many different weight classes and I cannot underestimate him."
Jones will be an 8-to-1 favorite against Belfort, who is moving back up to 205 pounds after campaigning at 185 pounds in recent years.
"He's a very powerful striker, but in this situation, I feel I am the more versatile striker in the fight," said the champ. "I won't shy away from a striking battle just because he has a punch. He's got a unique style and I enjoy matching up against guys like that." ...
The debate over where Gilbert Melendez belongs among the top lightweights and pound-for-pound fighters will continue as long as the former Santa Ana High wrestling star remains under contract to Strikeforce and unable to test himself against the UFC's elite.
"I've been around for awhile, and I've done pretty good in the rankings," Melendez said on a recent conference call. "If you look at my history, I've beat a lot of guys, I've traveled oversees did some things, at one time I was No. 1 in the world at 145 and I went up to 155.
"I'm up there, I don't know exactly where I am. It used to be a bigger concern of mine, but not so much nowadays. But yeah, I feel like I'm up there. I feel like I could go up to 170 and beat some of those guys as well and if need be I can go back to '45 and be the number one guy as well."
Meanwhile, Melendez is focused on defending his Strikeforce 155-pound title against Team Quest veteran Pat Healy, who has won five consecutive fights, on Sept. 29 in Sacramento on Showtime.
"Sometimes things get stale and you hit a plateau for a minute and you gotta kind of re-evalute everything," Melendez said. "You really use your brain and figure out how to evolve as a fighter and how to improve as a fighter and point out your weaknesses.
"I found my motivation, I'm a student of the sport. I just want to learn and continue to learn and grow and get better as a mixed martial artist. I'm blessed with a really good job. I want to keep going and test myself against new blood and new opponents. Fighting someone like Pat is a guy I look forward to fighting. He likes to come forward, he likes to fight, he's a little old school and I'm old school, and that motivates me."
Melendez also left the door open for a fourth fight against Josh Thomson.
"I'm definitely down for it," Melendez said. "I'd be up for it. I'm not looking forward to it right away, but I'm definitely not scared of it." ...
Former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir suffered an undisclosed injury in training and was forced to pull out of his cross-promotional fight against Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix champion Daniel Cormier on Nov. 3 in Oklahoma City, Strikeforce officials announced on Wednesday. Strikeforce officials are working on a replacement. Mir joins Dan Henderson, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Jose Aldo and Erik Koch as high-profile fighters that have been forced to withdraw from bouts because of injuries in the past few weeks. ...
Jon Jones vs. Vitor Belfort
When: Saturday
Where: Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
How to watch: UFC 152 prelims on Facebook, 3:30 p.m.; UFC 152 prelims on FX, 5 p.m.; and UFC 152 main card on pay-per-view, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Jones (16-1) makes his fourth defense of his UFC 205-pound title against Belfort (21-9) in the main event at UFC 152.
Prediction: Belfort is an explosive striker with one-punch KO power, but Jones is a much more diverse striker with huge height and reach advantages. Jones wins this one and continues his reign.
Record in 2012 picks: 17-9

The carefree Babette of three years ago had written him off with a shrug, yet now she can't help remembering that he did give her the absolute best sex of her life...not to mention his charm, good looks, and brains. To save her newfound career and prove she can stick with somethingif not someoneBabette is determined to mend Kitty and Jeff's broken relationship, but Jeff has other plans.

In Birmingham, thirty-four years old Babette Robinson knows herself too well as her lack of commitment has led to failures. She is the best person at almost anything until she reaches what the NFL calls the Red Zone where she fumbles away the touchdown. Her family insists she is a kind person who is always there to help other people with problems. They persuade her she should open up her own business as a relationship repairwoman.
Feeling good about the concept, Babette creates a match-mending consulting firm the `Love Doctor¿. Business is booming almost immediately and within a few months, Babette is the talk of the town as her success rate is phenomenal. She knows she has made it when affluent society queen Kitty Carelle hires her to patch things up with her ex fiancé Jeff Eubanks, who apparently does not want a second engagement after being dumped one month before the wedding. However, there is a couple of spitballs in bringing together Jeff and Kitty as he was Babette¿s lover for several years. She realizes she wants to patch up their broken relationship that she ended because she could not commit. Her quandary is if she fails Kitty, Jeff will affirm his belief Babette cannot stay the course and would only dump him again if they start over.
This is a fun second chance at love starring fully developed lead characters and strong support players. The story line is fast-paced from the onset but focuses deeply on the fears and hopes of several cast members, but especially Babette. With some slices of humor, but mostly a poignant look at relationships, FLIRTING WITH TEMPTATIONS is a delightful character driven contemporary romance.

The much-photographed station was one of only two in the
southern hemisphere to be named in the 16-station list by a
United States travel magazine.
Conde Nast Traveler compiled the list to mark the 100th
birthday celebrations of New York's Grand Central Station.
The magazine has a monthly readership of 807,160 and also
operates the CNTraveler.com website and an English edition.
The publicity from such praise was priceless, Tourism Dunedin
chief executive Hamish Saxton said last night.
''This is good, positive publicity for our city. It is
publicity we simply couldn't afford to buy.''
''I presume Conde Nast Traveler has a readership in the
millions. It's an extremely influential travel brand ... For
us to be included in a bucket list, if you like, of must-sees
is great for Dunedin.
''Tourism Dunedin and other tourism operators often refer to
the railway station as one of the, if not the, most
photographed buildings in the country.
''Visitors to Dunedin are always blown away by the beauty and
design of our railway station. It is a very distinguished and
distinctive landmark.''
The station, which cost 340,000 pounds to build, opened in
1906 and, at one time, was one of the busiest stations in New
Zealand, handling up to 100 trains a day.
It is now the base for the Taieri Gorge Railway tourist train
and will again host iD Fashion Week next month.
In 2006, the station was nominated by DK Eyewitness Travel as
one of ''the world's 200 must-see places''.
The other railway stations named by CNTraveler.com are Kings
Cross Station, England; Maputo Station, Mozambique; Union
Station Los Angeles, United States; Gare De Liege-Guillemins,
Belgium; Sao Bento Station, Portugal; Sirkeci Station,
Turkey; Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, India; Gare Du Nord,
France; Groningen Station, Netherlands; Kanazawa Station,
Japan; Rossio Station, Portugal; Central Station, Belgium;
Kuala Lumpur Station, Malaysia; Haydarpasa Terminal, Turkey;
Atocha Station, Spain.

Steamingmadd:It was not the citizens of Dunedin who decided
that $50,000-plus should be spent to put Ja1274 in a glass
case - it was museum management, who have never explained
their reasons for such an action.They obviously have no
understanding of the need for steam enthusiasts to get up
close to their love! Walk-throughs of the engine cab are the
accepted procedure in many overseas steam museums. As far as
re-steaming Ja1274, it is now over 40 years since she last
steamed so a boiler replacement would be highly likely.
Taking the recent Flying Scotsman overhaul disaster as an
example - a boiler replacement cost could exceed $3 million.
Plus, there would be all the cost of the rest of the overhaul
- maybe another million! In addition, skilled steam-engine
restoration fitters are now few and far between. I know - I
helped to build Ja1274 in 1956.
Yes Dunedin does have a beautiful railway station with
thousands of overseas tourists coming to the city via TGR
Trains picking them up from there cruise ships. Wouldn't this
be great if it was steam powered!? Dunedin has the best
locomotive entombed in its glass casket just south of the
I was horrified to see what you the people of Dunedin have
done to this beautiful Dunedin built locomotive. It's stuck
in a glass box with no access for tourists to walk around it
& hop up into the cab. What a great photo op and fund
raiser this could be, if they pay $2.00 to get in. Door money
could go to getting this loco steaming once again on the main
line! I will pledge $100 to forming a trust to get Ja1274 out
of the glass case Karl Barkley. Email : email@example.com
A great idea Speedfreak...and it would get rid of all those
buses along the West Harbour route.
The idea of steam-engine hauled trains from Port Chalmers to
Dunedin for cruise ships is great however, Tairei Gorge Rail
appear to be dead against using steam engines. And since they
are the only company with suitable carriages, the idea dies!
Ask them direct for a view. It's all a great shame since the
Dunedin ratepayers have substantial ownership of TGR but it
appears that they won't have a bar of steam.
However, I would also like to know...
What percentage of new building code (%NBC) is the railway
station (i.e. Is it above the 34% threshold)?
What strengthening work has been conducted on this building?
Give a bit of credit to George Troup, the Edwardian
architect. I don't understand why his Greymouth Railway
Station isn't similarly admired.
And surely our best tourist attraction. Here's a business
plan for someone with spare cash and motivation. Why are the
cruise ship passengers all not delivered to it by steam train
rather than by other means? This would have to be a big draw
card to the city as its not every day you can get to ride a
steam train anymore.
I'm unsure if this idea has been entertained recently or at
all but it sounds like a great idea to me. Can you imagine
it, a steam train, pulling up on the wharf at Port Chalmers
beside a cruise ship? It shouldnt be too hard to find a
suitable steam engine. What's the Kingston Flyer doing at the
This, in my opinion, would be a "Build it and they will come"
idea that will actually work. Unlike all the others we have
been landed with, that don't?
Just further info, Maputo, Moz. formerly Lourenco Marques was
a Portuguese colony. They are responsible for the station and
two of their home country stations also made the list; Porto
and Rossio station, Lisbon. Been to two of the three - not
been to Porto.
A friend has asked me if the Dunedin Railway Station is quake
Two things here Nigel, first one is that Mozambique is well
and truly in the southern hemisphere (it shares latitude with
both the NT in Australia and Chile and Paraguay in South
America) - a simple Google map would have told you this!
Second thing "the station, which cost 340,000 to build" - It
cost 340,000 what? Pounds? [Fair cop on the first point -
since amended. The pound sign was mistakenly omitted from the
story - Ed]

I'm a total arse when it comes to x-wing alliance (partly because I have a £3 joystick that cannot be centered) and so you won't be surprised to hear I'm having trouble getting passed mission 6 of the Prologue
- the one where you and your brother have to escort your dad and the bacta to the rebel hospital.
Basically, all is well up until the point when the Imperial Star Destroyer (ISD) and 2 other ships arrive
What I try and do is to first attack one of the 2 ships on either side of the ISD with wingman support (Shift+A) and then move to the other one. Now, the problem is, I end up with about 50% shields after just the first attack and am usually dead by the time I mingle with the second.
I have managed to plaster the 2 though a couple of times and still escape with about 80% shields. In the meantime, you get loads of TIE fighters coming your way...and TIE bombers going for the hospital...
I go for the bombers to protect the hospital - but it bruises pretty easily with me in command
Somewhere in between this battle though, my brother gives me the order to evaquate...and...I do even though only about 30% of the hospital has been evaquate (66% minimum is required). I would stay but by then 4 gunboats arrive and start dumping missiles at me
Out of the 30 times I've tried completing the mission, I've evaded the gunboats a few times and escaped through hyperspace...but with an objective still looming.
Is there a good strategy for this mission or do you just need to be a better pilot?
I really enjoy playin' XWA even though I'm never quite sure what I'm doing - so I'd be grateful for some help, thanks

My current plan, which I am executing vicariously through the tried-and-tested "enthusiastic graduate student" method, is to use lisp implementations of the pieces of tar, gunzip and gpg in asdf-install v.4 (versions two and three being Edi Weitz's and Gary King's, though sadly neither of those renamed their versions when introducing incompatibilities, which has caused much confusion). (Lest anyone be confused about the "my plan" bit up there, Nathan is doing all the work, and I don't really know the situation is, except that all the pieces have been implemented at least once.) The disadvantage with this plan is that it might well see a significant body of mostly-portable code included with the SBCL distribution. (Some might see this as an advantage, mind you :-) However, I think it's fairly clear that there's essentially no chance of avoiding maintenance headaches when relying on the output of random implementations of Unix utilities, let alone on their presence at all on non-Unix systems, so at least from my point of view the addition of this body of code is worth the potential extra support burden, as it removes a different support burden. Plus, I believe that it shows off our excellent compiler... ;-) Nathan, do you have anything to add to this? Cheers, Christophe

They hitched a ride from Europe to North America in 1899 on a shipment of nursery plants. Mantids have extremely good eyesight, which helps them detect movement of prey. They have a fully articulated head which they can pivot and swivel 180 degrees. They use their antennae for smell. These defenses help the mantis avoid predators like the tarantula, which would consider it a tasty morsel.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
To complete the various stages of their gymnastic routines, jumping genes rely on host factors, which are usually uncooperative or even hostile. Accordingly, jumps are rare and difficult to study. Even if a host factor were more inclined to "spot" a jumping gene than wrestle it to the mat, the jumping gene would insert itself so adroitly that the interaction would be easy to miss—presenting yet another difficulty to any scientist hoping to follow the jumping gene's acrobatics.
Both difficulties—the rarity of jumps and their fleeting nature—have been overcome by proteomics researchers. These researchers induced lab-grown human cells to express large amounts of jumping gene proteins. Doing so resulted in the formation of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes—crouched, ready-for-action assemblies consisting of the jumping gene, its proteins, and RNA. Next, the researchers used a quick-freeze/cryomilling extraction technique to preserve RNP-host protein interactions, the better to identify which host proteins thwart the jumping genes, and which assist them.
The induction and extraction techniques, refined by scientists representing Johns Hopkins University and The Rockefeller University, are described in a paper entitled "Affinity Proteomics Reveals Human Host Factors Implicated in Discrete Stages of LINE-1 Retrotransposition." According to study leader Lixin Dai, Ph.D., a postdoctoral associate at Johns Hopkins, the combination of induction and extraction is "a good way of preserving the interactions."
Published November 21 in Cell, the paper identifies 37 host proteins that appeared to interact with the RNP complexes, and highlights two representative proteins—UPF1, which seemed to suppress gene jumping; and PCNA, which seemed to help it along.
The "LINE-1" in the paper's title refers to long interspersed element-1, or L1, an unusually successful jumping gene, in evolutionary terms. It has been such a successful self-replicator that it now accounts for up to 20% of the human genome. Quieter now, tamped down by host defenses, it can still be coaxed into action, at least in culture, as the researchers from Johns Hopkins and Rockefeller have demonstrated.
In their paper, these researchers, besides identifying high-confidence protein interactors and detailing L1-RNP links with PCNA and UPF1, describe how they used in-cell imaging to reveal the existence of "at least three types of compositionally and functionally distinct L1 RNPs."
Reflecting on the implications of their findings, the authors write, "physical interactions between L1 proteins and host factors likely reflect a longstanding evolutionary battle between the parasite, which exploits opportunities to proliferate, and the host, which fights to suppress L1 accumulation. Dissecting the dynamics of this L1-host 'arms race' will help to better decipher our genome dynamics in relation to cancer, brain development, reproduction, and potentially to other human diseases."

McLaren sees no way that the Formula 1 World Championship fight will not go to the final race of the season, following its strong performance during the Singapore Grand Prix weekend so far.
Lewis Hamilton secured a brilliant pole position at the Marina Bay circuit, with his main title rivals Sebastian Vettel in third and Fernando Alonso fifth.
That performance - which further highlighted the fact Ferrari does not have the fastest car in F1 - makes it more than likely that Hamilton and his team can close down the deficit to their main opponents in the title chase.
McLaren's sporting director Sam Michael thinks the current state of play means that fans will be treated to a campaign that goes down to the last grand prix in Brazil.
"I think it is going to go to the wire," he said when asked by AUTOSPORT about his feelings on the title fight going forward.
"I cannot see how it is not going to go down to the last race, which is fantastic for people watching – as there will be a lot of stories falling down from that place.
"There will be lots of ifs and buts and could have beens at the last races from the guys that win it, and our hope is we can do it.
"I do believe that Ferrari has a much better car than people say it has: you cannot lead the championship and win those races like that if not. The races that Fernando has won, he has been strong, so it is not a bad car.
"It may not be the quickest all the time, but then again no one has been. There have been areas where we have been strong and areas where Red Bull has been strong as everywhere else."
Ferrari's head of track operations, Diego Ioverno, conceded that his team's performance in Singapore had further highlighted its need to keep pushing hard with improving the F2012 – despite Alonso's lead in the drivers' championship.
"I think that in general we know that we have some performance to recover, possibly even a bit more in high-downforce circuits like this one," he said.
"Suzuka is a completely different picture so whatever happens here will not necessarily be the picture in Suzuka.
"McLaren is very strong, Red Bull here is showing to be very strong as we were expecting. We know we have to keep on pushing because we need some wins to pursue our target."

Skip to comments.Bill Clinton Walks Back Romney Compliment: He Is Wrong On The Economy
Posted on 06/02/2012 11:28:44 AM PDT by mdittmar
Former President Bill Clinton had some kind words for Mitt Romney earlier this week, when he called the former Massachusetts Governors business record sterling. In a rally in New Jersey yesterday, however, Clinton appeared shocked that anyone would think his faint praise meant anything other than ceding what was true to the other side, rather than any ringing endorsement. Clinton blamed the tea party for a climate where civil discourse was unacceptable.
(Excerpt) Read more at mediaite.com ...
Barry must have taken Slick Willie to the wood shed. LOL!
How queer. The Tea Party rallies were nothing less than clean, patriotic, flag-waving, patriotic, upbeat affairs.
Yet, the likes of Hussein Obama and Bill Clinton villify them. Yet, strangely, the dopeheaded Occupy love-ins, or rape-ins, unruly,violent, nasty, dopeheaded affairs have been praised and applauded by Hussein and Bill (and other Democrats).
All these Dems keep telling the truth and they change it to a lie LOL They need to take their party back from the commies
beginning week ending 6/2/12..."Romney is a great business man"
friday 6/01/12.....$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Saturday 6/02/12....."Romney is wrong for the economy"
Obama must have told Clinton if he doesn't do what he says he will take away his whores that he keeps on the side. I noticed a pimple above Clinton's lip yesterday, Im assuming its herpes
Or Hillary had a "what in the Sam Hill are you doing?" discussion with him. :)
It really is amazing. It also shows the power behind obama. Clinton has now got to go out and say "Romney's business career was sterling but he don't know as much about the economy as obama does."
I pray at least 10% of the total number of voter who vote democrat are paying attention to the absurdity of their party.
Little Clintoon threats of "see how much damage I could do if you don't meet Hillary's expectations". We know that the last thing on the mind of the Hillbilly Mafia is the well being of this nation. The first thing is personal profit. How frightening is VP Hillary, only a heartbeat from Bill being President again.
BillyBob used up his alloted one truthful statement per year a few days ago.The next one could be as much as 362 days from now.
Or: Friday..."do you know what we know about you?"
"If you don't keep your mouth shut and I lose this election, instead of having ol' Hill busy for the next four years after I name her to the VP slot to replace Slo-Joe, she'll be watching your every move for the rest of your life!"
Clearly this frighten dear Billy enough that he nearly tripped over himself retracting his remarks ...
My thoughts as well. It's fun to watch the haughty Bubba, who considered Obama as someone to serve him coffee a few years ago, now, bow to the One as the One bows to King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
To late Billy boy the campaign ad has already been made.
Well, too bad Billy's facts are all about Strawmen and Red Herrings, because those are all he's got. And yes, I think he's trying to find another broad while he's at it.
So - who called Billy up and "corrected" him? Is Obama REALLY big enough to have done this? Soros? Or maybe this came out of the Bilderberg meetings this week?
Questions for Bill Clinton:
1) Which strikes you as a better prospect for fixing the economy: a man with a "sterling business career", or a man who has spent three and half years destroying jobs, wrecking business, expanding government, and running up unprecedented debt with nothing to show for it but failure?
2) If Romney is "wrong on the economy", are you seriously suggesting that Obama policies were right?
3) If so, does Obama propose more of the same for another four years?
"Civil" means kissing democrat butts!
All these Dems keep telling the truth and they change it to a lie...
..Or the other way around... "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"...!
Slick Willy would be a great guy to have a beer with. I really like the guy personally. It's just his politics that suck. If the choice today was between Romney and Clinton, I would definitely vote for Clinton!
I expect FReepers to bring it on to me but, really, a few of my best drinking buddies are liberals so WE NEVER TALK POLITICS! We are, after all, God's children. We should all get along on a personal level is all I'm saying.
No sane person can be buddies with lef6ist slime especially a corrupt -ervert sicko traitor like Clinton.
Have you seen him lately? They showed the clip on FNC in which he basically endorsed Romney. He looked about 80 years old as well as very thin and drawn.

You are definitely drinking too much. Here, you should really get some help :)
There's no love lost between Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Clinton may figure that Hillary would have a better chance of winning in 2016 if Obama was defeated this year. It's hard for the same party to win the Presidency three times in a row—it has only happened once since the end of WWII and that's because George H. W. Bush benefited from Reagan's popularity and Dukakis' incompetence.
I PRAY you realize that you are voting for sn ADMINISTRATION... not just a President!!!! Geesh....Clinton had KILLER RENO etal.....REALLY....REALLY?? You would VOTE for this guy again??? REALLLY??? Do you want to sober up or grow up and re-think that???<P.YOU ARE VOTING FOR AN ADMINISTRATION, not just one guy you want to have a beer with!!!! COME ON!!! This crap is SERIOUS!!!! You are NOT a REALIST.
I know you don't know who will be in the administration until after the election. One only knows who the VP will be. Get real!
Do you not thing Romney would pick better than CLINTON???? YOU get real....or maybe you are a Democrat.
So far, I am favorably impressed with Romney's rapid response team. That is so much better than McLame's team.

I have the problem that my machine turned the root filesystem into readonly mode and remounting it as writeable won't work:
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 /
mount: block device /dev/sda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
I want to copy some data away from that system and I attached a USB drive and tried to mount it:
# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /mnt busy
/mnt is an empty directory, so mounting there should usually work, but it seems that having this directory on a readonly filesystem doesn't make it possible to mount something there.
I think there is no activity going on for
/mnt, since the following command doesn't return any output:
# lsof | grep "/mnt" | grep -v grep
There is no other partition mounted as the readonly root filesystem at the moment. Is it possible to still get the attached disk into the directory hierarchy somehow?
