Photographer's Note
This is Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples, named because of the plebiscite signed here in 1863 which saw Naples - for good or bad - become part of a unified Italy. The church you can see here is that of San Francesco Di Paola, which has a concrete dome similar to that of Rome's Pantheon. To the right, just out of sight, is the Gran Caffé Gambrinus, the Galleria Umberto, Teatro San Carlo and the Royal Palace. The square is a short walk to the beautiful Bay of Naples and also has glimpses of the volcano Mount Vesuvius. It is one of my favourite places in all of Naples, and no visit to the city is complete without it.

Howdy Plebiscitolisa,
Beautiful golden lighting enhancing the magnificent neo Roman architecture, the elaborate and numerous columns curving across the panorama, and the temple like entrance with circular dome dominating. And a bonus with the lion statue residing in the left foreground, though disheartening to see the graffiti vandals with no respect nor human values.
Don't eat too many chocolate bunnies,
and have an excellent Easter,

Ciao Lisa,
Very beautiful night image with one of the iconic places of Napoli. Well taken.
I wish you a joyful Easter!

Ciao cara Lisa
un ritorno alle tue lontane origini con questo notturno di Napoli dalla gestione non facile per le forti differenze di luce tra un punto e l'altro della piazza.
Il soggetto è quello che io ritengo il più rappresentativo luogo di Napoli per quanto riguarda il suo aspetto architettonico.
Colori e composizione impeccabili.
Una particolare nota di biasimo per il cretino che si è divertito a scarabbocchiare la base della statua del leone: merita il primo premio nella classifica degli idioti, anche perchè alla fin fine i soldi per la pulizia del monumento usciranno in piccola parte anche dalle sue tasche.
Un abbraccio ed un sincero augurio per le festività pasquali

Hello Lisa,
Great night time capture of this fantastic architecture that sweeps its way round the frame. Nicely exposed and with perfect details.
I am off to Milan next weekend for a couple of days to celebrate my 67th! Any suggestions for me?

Gidday Lisa,
This is some place, imperial design of the best example, and chocolate kudos for such a clear and beautiful night shot. (I can't take these so have all the more appreciation for them) I love the long sweeping viewpoint leading into the scene, and with a lion sitting ther guarding the entrance to the scene perfectly. I like tycoons expression, a lot of times I find these stones lions to be a bit strange looking, like somebody told them a dirty joke in church and they are trying to hold in the laughter. This guy though, he's very serious and looks like he is all about the guarding.
The statue on the roof in front of the dome looks like a pretty creepy character too, like something just rose from the grave is is viewing the city he will roam.
Lovely place, and especially for me as I don't see many shot of the city of naples, so thanks for that.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful Easter, filed with family, happiness and of course, chocolate.
Best wishes from the soggy rock, I'm home now from the wonders of franfurt. All those skyscrapers are well worth seeing, but to balance it out I had to go and visit a 5000 year old passage tomb in Co Meath. I'm gonna post an image up later with you in mind, as I know you like a good set of standing stones and these ones are old, like oldly oldlingotn old!
P.s. not one pair of lederhosen did I see, I feel I've been misled by the German tourist board,
Giustiniani (3632) 2014-04-19 9:04
Bonsoir Lisa,
une superbe vue nocturne de la Piazza de Plebiscito. Bon choix du POV et excellente qualité d'image.
Joyeuses Pâques.

Hi Lisa, great night shot of this interesting circular building with a nice lighting, very well captured in this interesting image, with good sharpness, nice color and light. Very good and interesting job well done, congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.
Good morning and happy start to the week.
Warm greetings from southern Spain.

Ciao Lisuccia
il leone sembra fare la guardia a questa grandissima corona, una corona che da regalità alla città di Napoli, tutta dorata, così come l'hai fotografata tu.
Buona Pasqua a tutta la tua grande famiglia

Interesting curved building
Good lights control in the black hour
I failed to clean the tags under the lion :)
Warm regards
emka (106662) 2014-04-19 23:45
Ciao cara Lisa, No wonder this place is so close to your heart. It is very beautiful and you present it at all its best. Marvelous night shot. Splendid architecture, nice composition with the lion. I wish you and your family Happy Easter. Big hugs to your Mum and best wishes for a recovery
marabu61 (11279) 2014-04-20 3:35
Hello Lisa
This is indeed a very attractive place with this impressive row of columns. Perfectly framed with the statue of the lion as focal point. A pity though that it has been spoiled by graffiti. Unfortunately there is no respect any more for the belongings of others or the cultural heritage.
have a great day and happy easter
siudzi (34141) 2014-04-20 11:35
Hello Lisa,
What a beautiful night capture of this charming old square! Like the POV you selected to achieve a fantastic perspective and a scene full of interesting elements. Excellent image! Happy Easter to you and your family!
Best wishes,
pili51 (1853) 2014-04-20 13:49
Hi LIsa,
Amazing photo. The composition is just wonderful. You have great control of the highlights here, no over-exposure and marvellous detail. The curved colonnade provides great perspective and depth, and your viewpoint balances the close-up lion and the church's cupola. This is a colossal architecture shot.
TFS and happy Easter!
Un abrazo,

un'immagine bellissima colta al meglio, perfetta l'esposizione e la compo, PS: da proprio fastidio quella scritta fatta da un'ignorante incivile , purtroppo hai colto un'amara verità, di ignoranti e incivili ce ne sono e restano impuniti !
Buona Pasqua
Waylim (25436) 2014-04-21 11:19
Hi NGF,
Sorry, been away for a little while and was busy. this is a glorious night shot, love the golden light. Great control of the exposure, not an easy shot I don't think with such strong contrast, but as we know you are becoming a master of the night shot, like creature of the night, you have learned to capture the mood so well, thought it is not a mighty gundle, the lion stay very still as if wating for its prey, glad you were spared by it :)
fabbs99 (17179) 2014-04-21 23:44
Hello Lisa,
Excellent presentation of the Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples.Very well captured in limited lighting.Keep sharing.TFS.
batalay (40385) 2014-04-22 5:30
Dear Lisa,
In the thumbnail version of the photo I saw the curved colonnade, and initially wondered whether it might not have been the Piazza San Pietro in Rome. Of course, the full version of the shot and your wonderful note explains that it is the Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples. Excellent light control as usual, complementing the very good composition. The latter, however, reveals the artwork of a local graffiti artist that is not so welcome.
Warm regards from Istanbul, where I have been visiting for a week, ostensibly to give a talk on World Arts Day... Leonardo's birthday.
Gigidusud (21247) 2014-04-22 7:51
Carissima Lisa,
Splendida notturna delle famosa Piazza Plebiscito con un ottimo POV su questa bellissima architettura. Interessante la tua nota, complimenti
Un abbraccio,

Kielia (24077) 2014-04-23 8:27
Dear Lisa,
excellent night shot with a fantastic atmosphere and very interesting colors. The photographers perspective is excellent. I also appreciate your note. Congratulation!
Warm regards
ktanska (29241) 2014-04-23 11:59
Hi Lisa,
These are much less famous than landmarks of Rome. To be honest I have no knowledge of Naples, and still this looks awesome. Grand classic architecture well illuminated and exposed.
I'm not thrilled of that graffiti, but that's sign of the times.
danos (103094) 2014-04-25 2:16
Ciao Lisa,
well chosen the POV as we can see the whole architectural style of San Francesco Di Paola,with the lion on the foreground to be a good focal point of the image.I like the excellent light and colour management as the beauty of the place.
ikeharel (78229) 2014-04-25 7:04
Hi Lisa,
Only the lion can tell who did smeared graffiti on his
pedestal... but besides this, the place is marvelous archi.-design, intriguing for photography, and especially at night. Superbly taken shot, no excess of bulbs-glare on the 15 sec. exp.
Cheers, have a great weekend,
macjake (72491) 2014-04-25 22:43
Hey Lisa
i would have placed a bet of $100 that this was in Rome! You totally caught me off guard with this one.
maybe i'm seeing double or something b/c i sware this is in Rome too?
Well, this just makes Naples that much more interesting.
fine post with the smart wrap-around compo...it always works well that way.
and whats Naples without a bit of grafitti eh? Haha
see you around
Silvio1953 (152867) 2014-04-26 5:36
Ciao Lisa, La mamma degli imbecilli è sempre incinta anche a Napoli ed i suoi figli sanno anche scrivere, per il resto favolosa notturna di uno dei luoghi magici di questa città, grande esposizione, bravissima, buon week end, ciao Silvio
npecanhuk (78497) 2014-04-26 12:10
Ciao Lisa!
I remember seeing that building and taking some pictures of it back in 1999!
I really enjoy this night picture of it!
Special regards to the exposure, horizontal format, chosen pov and composition!
TFS - congrats,
Enjoy your week-end,
adores (46363) 2014-05-27 15:20
Hi Lisa!
Good to see a night shot of this place, just a pity to see people are writing on the statue. It's a very good night shot, with good pov and exposure.

Her name on realcumswallows.com may have been Lusy, but I am not sure.
On dualhardcore with the blond hair she has blue eyes instead of brown ones like in most other sets. But the moles left below her mouth and on her left upper arm near the elbow match, so the different eye colour seems to be the result of wearing contact lenses.

About Harris Flanagin, Governor
Harris Flanagin (November 3, 1817 – October 23, 1874) was an American politician and the seventh Governor of the State of Arkansas.
Flanagin was born in Roadstown, New Jersey, and educated in Quaker schools in New Jersey. At the age of eighteen, he became a professor of mathematics. Flanagin moved west and opened his own private school in Paoli, Illinois. He studied law and was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1837. He married Martha Eliza Nash-Flanagin and had a son, Nash Flanagin.
Flanagin moved to Arkansas and entered politics. He served in the Arkansas House of Representatives from 1842 to 1844.Newberry, Farrar. "Harris Flanagin." Arkansas Historical Quarterly 17 (Spring 1955): 3–20.
During the American Civil War, he served in the Confederate States Army as a Captain and rose to the rank of Colonel before the conflict was over. He served with the 2nd Arkansas Mounted Rifles.
In 1862, Flanagin was elected Governor of Arkansas and was recalled from active duty to take office. His administration dealt primarily with war related measures and maintaining order and continuing government while undergoing an invasion. His administration was faced with shortages of critical items, rising prices, care of fallen soldier's families, and related problems. During the war the government was forced to suspend the collection of taxes and financed the war with paper "war bonds".
The capitol at Little Rock, Arkansas fell to Union troops on September 10, 1863. Flanagin seized as many government documents as he could and fled to Washington, Arkansas where he set up a temporary capitol.
While Flanagin stayed in Confederate controlled territory, a new Union government under Isaac Murphy was inaugurated on April 18, 1864. After the war, Flanagin returned to his law practice in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
Flanagin is buried at Rose Hill Cemetery in Arkadelphia.

I wouldn't use it for a book-length work, but I will say that Mac OS X speech is surprisingly good. It sounds "odd" like most computer voices (the new Vicki is the most natural), but I've found from listening to text-to-speech in Unreal Tournament 2004 that you CAN understand it quite well without glancing at the text, even while doing other things. So this could have potential uses.

As members of the community gather Friday night, it will be a time for celebration and a time for remembrance as the annual Relay for Life is held, raising money for the American Cancer Society.
The walk will kick off at the Elkin Municipal Park bandstand at 6 p.m. with an opening ceremony, followed by the survivor lap at 6:15 p.m. and the caregiver lap immediately after the survivor lap. Everyone will join in the walk and festivities following the caregiver lap.
With less than a week until the event, Sherry Chappell, chairwoman of the Elkin Relay for Life Committee, said the walk may fall short of its team goal by less than five teams, but she is optimistic the relay will meet its financial goal, if not by Friday night, then by the end of the campaign season on Aug. 31.
"We are over halfway to our goal of about $25,000," Chappell said Tuesday morning. "So we are doing good on money raised."
Survivors can register ahead of Friday for the survivor lap and free T-shirt, or they can register the night of the event. For the special lap, each survivor will come forward, give their name and the number of years they are a survivor, Chappell explained.
This will be the second year the Elkin relay will host a caregiver lap, something Chappell said is important as a way of honoring those who spend their time caring for those who have or had cancer.
The evening will be filled with food, such as ice cream, hot dogs and walking tacos, available for a donation, activities such as bounce houses, face painting and carnival-theme games, and entertainment, with Hamptonville's Carolina Cloggers performing at 7 p.m. and Dylan Longworth performing at 8 p.m.
"It is a community event," said Chappell, noting that those who wish to participate do not have to be a member of a team. "Anybody can come walk."
She said relay is important to cancer patients in the local area. "All the money we raise goes to the American Cancer Society, but it stays in this area to support cancer survivors in this area," Chappell explained.
ACS provides an 800 hotline number where people can call to learn about all of the local resources available to cancer patients, such as the wig shop at Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital. It also assists with transportation to and from treatments and to fund any research projects which might take place in the local community, she said.
Chappell said she began relaying seven years ago, "in hopes that no child has to go through as a child what my brother and I had to go through." She explained her mother was diagnosed with brain cancer when Chappell was 9, and when she 22, her 40-year-old mother died from the disease.
To events during the relay stood out to Chappell as special moments for those who attend. "The survivor lap … and the luminaria service," she said.
The luminaria service Friday will begin at 9 p.m. The activities at the park will temporarily shut down for this "quiet, peaceful time to honor and remember those who lost their battle to cancer," Chappell said.
With about 150 to 200 luminaria now sold, she said it takes 450 to wrap the track at the park, so they are hoping to sell many more by the 8:30 p.m. deadline Friday. The $10 luminaria can be purchased by calling Chappell at 336-306-3883 or Friday at the relay event.

Veterans at Vietnam memorial moving wall recall their losses
She was with some of those men whose names are on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall as they died, said Becky Branson, of Moscow, Idaho. But she can't say who they were because there was never enough time to learn their names.
Branson was a nurse at Chu Lai in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970. "We had a lot who lived," she said. Medical care improved as the war progressed, but it was never enough.
Some things stayed with her, she said, her voice catching. She remembers a man saying his legs hurt. "I know they are not there," he said, "but they hurt." Another died from "friendly fire," she said. "I held his hand while he died."
"Those are memories I still carry so it makes it hard in some ways to be here, but also good to be here," she said Friday during a ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall at the Nez Perce County Fairgrounds.
Some sat in front of the audience, waiting to take their turn. Others came out of the crowd, one at a time, to share their memories.
Picture yourself standing on a helicopter pad at the 12th Evacuation Hospital at Cu Chi during the Tet Offensive, said a man in a cowboy hat. "Casualties are coming in faster than you can deal with them and my job is to decide who is going to live if we ignore them, who is likely to die no matter what we do, and who among the others should be treated first."
That is one of two memories he carries with him every day, the man said. "The other is a moment of great beauty. A helicopter is burning and I'm lying on my back and I'm hurting but I don't really understand how and why and a blue plane comes over those trees absolutely hosing down that area where the bad stuff had come from. That Navy plane was the most beautiful thing I ever saw."
Robert J. Topmiller was a Navy corpsman assigned to Steven Orr's Marine outfit during the 77-day battle at Khe Sanh. "He was our savior," Orr said, but the man they called Doc suffered greatly from post-traumatic stress syndrome. "There were so many wounded and he had to make decisions who could be treated and who could be saved."
Topmiller survived the war and became a noted historian, but he died in 2008 while working on his third book, an exposé of the Veterans Administration, Orr said. He was working on chapters on Agent Orange and PTSD "and he couldn't take it any longer. His name's not on the wall, but he was another casualty of Vietnam."
Speaking to the veterans in the crowd, Orr said if Doc was here, "he would tell you, don't ignore it. Look at it, face it, get any help you may need."
One out of three men assigned to the little boats that worked the rivers and canals trying to stop Viet Cong supplies was wounded, said Tom Anderson, a retired Navy commander from Moscow, Idaho. Between 1966 and 1971, 5,600 soldiers were assigned to the 31-foot river patrol boats, he said. "One hundred thirty-seven are on the wall."
Sometimes they didn't hear of a friend's death until they got home, speakers said. Sometimes they lived or someone else died because of a minute or a degree.
They hated Joan Baez and Jane Fonda, said Gary Taylor, of Nezperce, Idaho, and he thought Vietnam taught people to keep politics out of battle decisions. "But look at Afghanistan. I don't think we learned anything."
More than 58,000 died, and their names are on the wall, said Mike Beckley, of Lewiston. He brought a photograph of a friend whose name is there, the two of them in their Cub Scout uniforms, and a piece of a rocket that exploded in front of his bunker, striking his helmet. After 40 years, he said, "I am ready to let it go."
More than 2,000 Americans who fought in Vietnam are still unaccounted for, said Douglas W. Zenner, of Culdesac, Idaho. Zenner said he didn't serve in the military, but asked that people write their congressmen to push for more recovery efforts.
One of those, said John Currin, of Lewiston, was his commander, Capt. Donald Aldern, who flew off their carrier, the USS Oriskany, toward Laos and never came back. "He didn't have to fly combat missions, but that was the kind of commander he was."
One man said he lost two friends, but it took years before it finally hit him. He became a "raging alcoholic" for a while, and suffered flashbacks when his job brought him in contact with homemade bombs.
But what worries him now, he said, is his son is going to deploy next spring to Afghanistan after already serving tours there and in Africa and Iraq.
"We must take care of the young people in the military," he said. "We must give them our full support."

Winter 2011
Classic Bookshelf
For our 75th anniversary issue, covering the years 1925 - 1945, we've collected some of the most interesting books about directors and the era.
The Parade's Gone By... By Kevin Brownlow
The Parade's Gone By... still packs quite the Proustian punch, with its chorus of then venerable, now long-dead legends of the silent era reminiscing on experiences that even then were 40 years in the past.
Brownlow began collecting silent movie prints at age 11 in England, and in his adult job as a film editor, kept an eye out for London visits by noted veterans of the silent film era, interviewing them when he could. He filled out his research with several sojourns to Los Angeles in the mid-'60s, and directors as varied as Charles Chaplin, King Vidor, Allan Dwan, and Josef von Sternberg are heard from.
In The Parade's Gone By..., Brownlow produced the first great history of the sunken Atlantis of silent cinema. Approaching the subject from every conceivable angle - direction, camerawork, production design, emerging genres, and stars - Brownlow's masterpiece is the cornerstone of modern research into the silent film, and the first step in his honorable - and recently Academy Award-honored - career as one of cinema's great preservationists.
Review written by John Patterson.
The best of new publications by, for, and about directors, their teams and the industry.
William Wyler has often been excluded from auteurist circles, and by extension from serious film study, which, as Gabriel Miller argues, is a gross oversimplification.
It's easy to generalize the work of director Wes Anderson as "artificial," but in his new book, Matt Zoller Seitz finds the substance in Anderson's signature style.
Teetering between exhaustive and exhausting, Fosse brings us the definitive portrait of a complex man and talented director.
In John Badham's latest book he culls from his nearly 40-year history in the industry to provide invaluable first-hand insight for vets and novices alike.
Wilson's new memoir is a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of what it was like to bring viewers "the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat," week in, week out.
Henry Jaglom and Orson Welles had lunch together reguarly in 1983 and Jaglom began taping their conversations—right up until Welles' death.
Critic Peter Rainer gives us a history of contemporary cinema; an insightful reflection on the evolution of the industry and the filmmakers who helped shape it.
Steven J. Ross, chairman of the history department at USC, looks at the labor conditions that contributed to the founding of the Guild.
Originally published in 1985, Chaplin: His Life and Art offers a full immersion in the previously impenetrable method of Chaplin as a director.
A rollicking account of mid-century Hollywood, City of Nets opens with the movie industry at the pinnacle of its success (1939) and ends 10 years later with the chaos of the HUAC hearings, the rise of television, and the Supreme Court's antitrust decision.
For a personal insight into the buccaneering, freebooting youth of Hollywood, you can't do better than the memoirs of the man behind the eye patch.
Exiles in Hollywood looks at Fritz Lang, William Wyler, Billy Wilder, Fred Zinnemann, and Otto Preminger, analyzing the profound effect they had on American popular cinema after leaving UFA Studios.
Hawks, a cofounder of the Directors Guild, was unusual in scrappy, knockabout early Hollywood; as an educated rich kid from Pasadena, he was slumming in what was still seen as a disreputable industry.
In his exhaustive biography of the shadowy, half-forgotten yet indomitable African-American film pioneer Oscar Micheaux, McGilligan deftly assembled the sterling research of scholars of early black filmmaking into a compelling account of a quixotic life.

Hits from the Hookah[CD]~ HookahstewProduct Notes
Known for thier roller coaster ride live shows, the latest EP from Hookahstew gets right to the rock/powerpop side of this versatile NW trio. Songs like 'One Night Stand', and 'Girlfriend' are standouts, and the harmony guitar solo on 'Season for Leaving' would make Brian May proud. If silly pop songs are your guilty pleasure, then pick this one up! Look for The Stew on tour of the Western states this Spring/Summer, with plans for a Midwest run this Fall.

The serious one.
Soooooo I like this girl a lot. I was in a long term relationship (4.5 years) that didn't end my way and that ended about half a year ago. I was thinking I was over it so I've just been doing my own thing and this girl just kind of dropped in my lap and was like "hey, I like you" and I feel the same way. I like her a lot. Like stupid a lot. But I keep finding myself inadvertently distancing myself from her so I won't get hurt again.
I really like this girl and don't want to screw the pooch here, but at the same time I feel like I need some input because it's so soon after the last break up. What do you have to say?
Also, if you feel like you need to know more I can fill you in.

Do you feel like a complete person regardless of the prospect of another relationship, or that you're kinda "jumping" from one to another? I don't think there's any objective amount of time that should be had between love interests, only you can know if you're ready… and if not, keep it low key and be friends for a while, until you can trust.

wikiHow to Dress Like James Bond
Three Parts:Dressing to the NinesGoing "Casual"Adding the Finishing TouchesCommunity Q&A
Dressing like James Bond can be a great way to impress the ladies and feel confident about yourself. Whether you want to dress like Agent 007 permanently or just for a costume, this article will help you learn how. From Barry Nelson to Daniel Craig, here we go!
Part 1
Dressing to the Nines
1Get a dark suit or tuxedo that fits. Even if your tux costs you $2,000 for a night's rental and was worn by Christian Bale at the Batman premiere, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't work. This is primo to being Bond-esque. If you're wearing what clearly looks like someone else's suit, you're not owning the clothes.
- Bond is all about refined manliness. The suit that you wear should give your torso a definite V shape, if at all possible. If you can, go to your tailor and get the button placed at the narrowest place on your waist. That will make those manly shoulders look as broad as possible.
2Stick to quality fabric. If you have the druthers and ability to do so, find a suit that's made of the right stuff. You'll be best off with a material that's 9 to 11 oz in weight -- it's not so heavy that you'll be sweating even before the girls arrive and not so light that it loses its shape when you start taking down ninjas.[1]
- You'll also want fabric that's Super 100-120 superfine wool or wool-blend. Anything too coarse and you won't be touched by the ladies and anything too fine and you'll feel the heat from that explosion you set off.[1]
3Get black or blue. As for color, you want to stick to black or at the most colorful, midnight blue (that's dark, dark blue). But black is your standard, is the safest, and is the most classic. Midnight blue might be used as dinner ensemble and that's about it.
- Patterns are a no-no. A big no-no when it comes to jackets and trousers. You may have a faint pattern in your cummerbund or bow-tie, but that's it.
4Find the right white shirt. You'd think this would be simple, but there's even detail to getting the white shirt right. You want a shirt that's clean, pressed, and not a button-down collar. Both single and double cuffs are okay, so long as they stick out just a twitch from beneath your suit jacket.
5Get the details right. Alright, so you know what color, what material, and the general basics of what to look for when it comes to your suit. Now let's talk about the details:
- Keep it single-breasted. It's easier to find and it just looks better.
- Go no vent or double-vented. Just...do it.
- Wear suspenders, not a belt. It's not dated, it's classy as all get out.
- Wear a cummerbund or waistcoat. You want the transition from your pants to your shirt to be utterly seamless.
- Shawl or peak lapels only. Again, just do it.[2]
- A neatly-folded pocket square in either white or red (red if you're feeling frisky).[2]
- Mother-of-pearl cufflinks or simple, basic, small silver studs.
6Hit your stride in Oxfords. To complete the suit, you need the right shoe. You'll look best in a pair of shiny Oxfords that match your threads -- so black will clearly be the easiest choice. Just make sure they're not scuffed and you could start fires with them, they're so shiny.
- Need more details? Okay, go for a basic, thin lace-up, with a thin leather sole and a defined heel.[1] Think simple. Always simple.
7Keep creativity to a minimum. Dressing like Bond is not the time to bust out your velvet maroon fedora. He must remain classic and understated so his coolness takes the spotlight. There's nothing boring about a great tux or suit, so don't feel the need to ramp it up with color or patterns.
- If you absolutely must show your creativity, mix up your pocket square, get a barely-there pattern on your cummerbund, or mix it up with a vibrant lining in your jacket.
Part 2
Going "Casual"
1Choose your Bond. To be frank, dressing like Sean Connery in "Diamonds are Forever" is a much different look than dressing like Daniel Craig in "Skyfall." And let's not even touch George Lazenby in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." However, there are options. Whether fashion likes it or not.
- The casual look for each Bond is different. It could be a pair of khakis and a fitted sweater or the sports gear Pierce Brosnan donned in Goldeneye. However, if you want everyone to know you're 007, you'll probably want to go black tie.
2Stick to neutrals. Again, while a Bubblegum pink suit may have been appropriate in '71, you'll be better off getting your point across if you stick to neutrals in this day and age. Think in blacks, greys, and tans.
- Think Roger Moore in "Moonraker." A simple black shirt with nice pair of black trousers. Easy as pie, yet still refined and dressed to kill.
3Think about the weather. Bond isn't super-human; he's still subject to hot and cold. When he's gallivanting on the beaches of Fiji, he can be spotted in lightweight, light-colored linens. If it's hotter than hell on the face of the sun, drop the jacket. You can still drink martinis.
- In "Skyfall," we see Daniel Craig in a peacoat. There's a touch of femininity to Bond that's somehow masculine. Don't be afraid to get trendy -- in this case, it's a very good thing.
4When in doubt, rock the swim trunks. In Goldfinger, we saw Sean Connery in his baby blue swimwear. In Casino Royale, we see an homage to that with Daniel Craig's baby blue swim trunks. Not every Bond would rock the £125 swim trunks, though. What's the style of yours?
- Clearly, Bond exists outside of his fine formal wear. You can still maintain your Bond-ness in any setting -- it just might take a prettier penny. And lots of ironing and dry-cleaning!
Part 3
Adding the Finishing Touches
1Smell like an international man of mystery. You know those Axe commercials where the women get woken from their slumber and follow their noses to the nearest guy donning the cologne? That guys needs to be you. Use your signature scent, whatever it is. James Bond doesn't smell like garlic. Maybe vodka once in a while, but never anything other than that.
- It should go without saying, but you need to be squeaky clean. Hop in that shower, lather up, rinse down and style your hair.
2Be clean-shaven. You can keep your leg hair, but everything else needs to be...taken care of. You won't be tempting the ladies with a hobo beard, that's for sure. Nor a fu manchu 'stache. Hate to break it to you.
- The entire thing needs to go. No sideburns, no pork chops, no five o'clock shadow. Clean, clean, clean. And the chest hair peeping out from underneath your collar? That too.
3Accessorize. Watches! You don't need high tech watches that can detonate bombs (though if you have one laying around, by all means!), just one with style, like Rolex or Omega. Just find a good watch. A watch with class.
- As for socks, long and black. Find a good pair from a good store and buy them for the rest of your life. Remember: long and black. Short and white? NO. Long and black.
- Have a holster on hand? Awesome. Shove that onto your side. No questions asked.
4Focus on your silhouette. If you're walking down the street, what does your shadow on the pavement look like? Are your pants the right length? Does everything come together at your middle, giving you a slight triangle shape? Are your sleeves not too long and not too short? We're not playing Goldilocks here!
- All the parts need to be great on their own, but they also need to be great together. Take a look at your entire outfit once you've pieced it together. Does it seem to gel?
5Rock it with confidence. Odds are you don't don a tux all too often. However, you gotta rock it like it's just a normal Tuesday. You know nothing besides Tom Ford and Brioni. This is what you wear when you're feeling down. This is what you wear when you want to convey indifference to the ladies. This is what you wear by yourself when you're watching the latest episode of "Orange is the New Black." This is nothing. All this effort? That just comes naturally to you.
- A tux (or other fancy formal wear) will look odd if you don't feel comfortable. Odds are if you have a tux that fits well, you look awesome. So strut your stuff! After all, what would James Bond do?
Community Q&A
- Renting a tuxedo is an option, as well as wearing a standard black suit.
- Modern Bond doesn't wear ties. However, if you feel you need one, make sure it's not too wide or too narrow and is a dark color.

Develop Powerful Interactive Software
Advance your software development knowledge in four comprehensive courses.
This Specialization covers intermediate topics in software development. You'll learn object-oriented programming principles that will allow you to use Java to its full potential, and you'll implement data structures and algorithms for organizing large amounts of data in a way that is both efficient and easy to work with. You'll also practice critically evaluating your own code, and you'll build technical communication skills that will help you prepare for job interviews and collaborative work as a software engineer. In the final Capstone Project, you'll apply your skills to analyze data collected from a real-world (social) network. Google has contributed real-world projects and the involvement of its engineers as guest lecturers to these courses. A small, select group of top learners who complete the Specialization will be offered practice interviews with Google recruiters. Invitation to a practice interview does not guarantee an actual interview or employment.
5 courses
- Intermediate Specialization.
- Some related experience required.
第 1 门课程
面向对象 Java 程序设计
当前班次:Mar 20 — May 8。- 课程学习时间
- 6周的学习;4-6小时/每周
- 字幕
- English, Chinese (Simplified)
你是否曾想过大型软件项目诸如Google搜索引擎是如何开发的?本课程将帮助你超越平凡编程,去学习设计和开发更加复杂的Java软件项目(尽管还没到Google搜索引擎那种级别!) 我们会探索如何将一个大的项目分解为层次结构的类,以及如何通过现有的库来增强项目的功能。我们也会探究一些搜索和排序的核心算法。在学习过程中,你将要开发一个令人兴奋的有着图形用户界面(GUI)的交互式应用程序。我们期待本课能启发你去创造。你即将进入课程项目,每节课所涉及的原理概念都设计成可直接应用于项目功能拓展。视频课程同时包括核心课程内容和现实中的软件工程师的来信和故事,与正在学习本课的真实学生之间的对话,以及一些你遇到困惑时可去观看的补充视频。(本课程若发现字幕错误请发送邮件到caesarguangli@hotmail.com,谢谢!)第 2 门课程
Data structures: Measuring and Optimizing Performance
当前班次:Mar 20 — May 8。- 课程学习时间
- 6 weeks of study, 6-10 hours/week
- 字幕
- English
How do Java programs deal with vast quantities of data? Many of the data structures and algorithms that work with introductory toy examples break when applications process real, large data sets. Efficiency is critical, but how do we achieve it, and how do we even measure it? In this course, you will use and analyze data structures that are used in industry-level applications, such as linked lists, trees, and hashtables. You will explain how these data structures make programs more efficient and flexible. You will apply asymptotic Big-O analysis to describe the performance of algorithms and evaluate which strategy to use for efficient data retrieval, addition of new data, deletion of elements, and/or memory usage. The program you will build throughout this course allows its user to manage, manipulate and reason about large sets of textual data. This course is designed around the same video series as in our first course in this specialization, including explanations of core content, learner videos, student and engineer testimonials, and support videos -- to better allow you to choose your own path through the course!第 3 门课程
Java 高级数据结构
当前班次:Mar 20 — May 8。- 课程学习时间
- 5 weeks of study, 1-3 hours/week
- 字幕
- English
How does Google Maps plan the best route for getting around town given current traffic conditions? How does an internet router forward packets of network traffic to minimize delay? How does an aid group allocate resources to its affiliated local partners? To solve such problems, we first represent the key pieces of data in a complex data structure. In this course, you'll learn about data structures, like graphs, that are fundamental for working with structured real world data. You will develop, implement, and analyze algorithms for working with this data to solve real world problems. In addition, as the programs you develop in this course become more complex, we'll examine what makes for good code and class hierarchy design so that you can not only write correct code, but also share it with other people and maintain it in the future. The backbone project in this course will be a route planning application. You will apply the concepts from each Module directly to building an application that allows an autonomous agent (or a human driver!) to navigate its environment. And as usual we have our different video series to help tie the content back to its importance in the real world and to provide tiered levels of support to meet your personal needs.第 4 门课程
Mastering the Software Engineering Interview
当前班次:Mar 20 — Apr 24。- 课程学习时间
- 4 weeks of study, 2-4 hours/week
- 字幕
- English
You've hit a major milestone as a computer scientist and are becoming a capable programmer. You now know how to solve problems, write algorithms, and analyze solutions; and you have a wealth of tools (like data structures) at your disposal. You may now be ready for an internship or (possibly) an entry-level software engineering job. But can you land the internship/job? It depends in part on how well you can solve new technical problems and communicate during interviews. How can you get better at this? Practice! With the support of Google's recruiting and engineering teams we've provided tips, examples, and practice opportunities in this course that may help you with a number of tech companies. We'll assist you to organize into teams to practice. Lastly, we'll give you basic job search advice, and tips for succeeding once you're on the job.第 5 门课程
即将开课的班次:May 22 — Jul 10。- 课程学习时间
- 6 weeks of study, 3-5 hours/week
- 字幕
- English
In this capstone project we'll combine all of the skills from all four specialization courses to do something really fun: analyze social networks! The opportunities for learning are practically endless in a social network. Who are the "influential" members of the network? What are the sub-communities in the network? Who is connected to whom, and by how many links? These are just some of the questions you can explore in this project. We will provide you with a real-world data set and some infrastructure for getting started, as well as some warm up tasks and basic project requirements, but then it'll be up to you where you want to take the project. If you're running short on ideas, we'll have several suggested directions that can help get your creativity and imagination going. Finally, to integrate the skills you acquired in course 4 (and to show off your project!) you will be asked to create a video showcase of your final product.

Ah, if only this proposed computer game did not have an April 1 announcement date. My daughter would have loved it when she was younger. I have always believed that every well brought up young lady should have a firm grasp of at least basic military tactics and strategy. (The same applies for well brought up young gentlemen):
– Immerse yourself in the world of My Little Pony with the epic story-driven campaign
– Learn the game with the help of four comprehensive tutorials
– Improve your tactics in over 20 scenarios
– Command the Pony nation on a strategic level, manage the economy and prioritize research
– Fight tactical battles against the hordes of unicorns, use the terrain to your advantage and target them with experimental weaponry to clear the battlefield of the Unicornfederate invaders!
– Meet all your favourite Pony characters and help them save their world
– Find new Bronies in the online multiplayer lobby
My Little Pony: Cavalry Commander is currently under development and will be presented at Home of Wargamers. The game is planned for release this fall.

it's a push-to-talk app. I don't see the need for these when we have text messaging and gtalk. But, to each their own.
This particular app works cross-platform with iOS. Unlike TiKL that only works with android. I personally don't use either one.
I use TiKL it's pretty nice. All of my family and friends with Android phones are able to PTT with me. You can even set it to do group conversations.
I do not use either, but TiKL is claiming cross platform as well. There was something about it on tikl's facebook page about it recently.
^^ My mistake. Last I had checked TiKL only worked for Android devices. They must have released an update resently. Too bad none of these apps work cross-platform with Blackberry. My wife still has the BB and she's really the only one I'd use it with.
been playing with HeyTell all morning with an Iphone friend. Cross platform def works, even does the geolocation of their phones. I say this is a win for fun walkie talkie fun
I love heytell - very useful for conversations while tied up with other things and also for work. I have been searching for a way to backup the messages to my personal computer or an external storage device as the messages are stored to the phone memory and can begin to take up a lot of space. Ideas?

Hello kabila, You can use many different Content Management Systems (CMSs) to accomplish this look. You may want to check out the Wordpress program as it was built originally as a blog. This allows it to act much like a newspaper where article excerpts, etc are added to the front page. With its many plugins, it can also do slideshows for images, etc. Here is a link to our Wordpress Education Channel to give you more information. Best Regards, Scott M |
