Monday, June 8, 2015 is the most friendly day of the year — literally, because it marks the celebration of National Best Friend Day. Whether you knew that or not, I'm sure some of you have your best friend nearby, ready to celebrate the day with secret handshakes, inside jokes, and deep, tearful conversations. (Or just wine and Netflix. Do your thang.) But I'm sure there are at least a few of you shmucks out there, like me, whose best friends are far from them today. That's one of the terrible things about being an adult human in the world — that sometimes you have to live and have a job in a different city than your platonic other half. It's the worst.
But, instead of moping around and feeling sorry for myself as other BFFs skip around hand in hand, sharing the same milkshake out of two straws, I'm going to make the most of it. And the way I'm going to do that is by imagining myself a placeholder best friend, in the form of a Disney princess. And since I have 11 to choose from, I'm gonna have to separate them somehow, like by what kind of a best friend they'd be to me.
So get your resumes ready, ladies, because this position is going to be hard to fill, even for a day.
11. The One Who's Only Ever Half Paying Attention To What You're Saying
... because she has her nose in a book. She means well, but you can't help but notice that most of the advice that Belle gives you about your boy troubles is pulled directly from literature. "Dress up like a man and trick him into falling in love with you!" You're sweet, Belle, but no.
10. The Beautiful Naive One
You know that friend who kind of drifts through life and really terrible things almost happen to them, but then somehow she comes out OK? Oops, I got to the airport without my passport but they let me get on a plane anyway! Yikes, I lose my phone every weekend, but I always get it back! Oh brother, I ate a poisoned apple that an old hag gave me, and I was legally dead, but then I came back to life! That's Snow White. Maybe because she's so beautiful, maybe because she's just lucky, but the girl just glides through unscathed. Very odd group of friends from college though.
9. The One The Guys Are Crazy For
Listen, she can't explain it, but Aurora is that friend of yours that the dudes just go nuts for. People she's never even met will cross a bar to buy her a drink, offer to let her borrow their car for a cross-country road trip, or hack their way through brambles and a fire-breathing dragon to kiss her ONE TIME. Meanwhile, you can't even get a second date. It's a good thing Aurora hasn't let all this go to her head, otherwise she'd be insufferable to be around.
8. The Eternal Optimist
Yo, Rapunzel has been through some stuff, and somehow she's still there for you? That's a friend you keep for life. She's so good at comforting you and is in such a good mood all the time that sometimes you forget she spent her entire childhood locked in a tower with an emotionally abusive, manipulative witch for a mother! Give your gal a hug, and the number of your therapist to unbury some of those emotions that she's been tamping down for years.
7. The Selfless Caregiver
If anyone else did the same things for you that this girl did, she'd be a resentful martyr, but Cinderella seriously seems to love it. Nothing makes her happier than sending out an invitation to her birthday party that includes the line "your presence is my present."
6. The One Who's Rich And Incredibly Generous
Ariel is ocean royalty, so she has no problem lending you whatever you need whenever you need it. And, yes, that includes her voice.
5. The Witty Only Child
Jasmine grew up with only a tiger as company, so she's for sure a bit odd, but in the best way possible. She's smart, down-to-earth, hilarious, and she sees right through all your BS to the real issue. Having to sneak into the marketplace to have any human contact gets rid of your pretentions real quick.
4. The Ride Or Die Bestie
Mulan is the perfect BFF to have next to you when someone shoves you on a crowded train or catcalls you in your neighborhood. She'll have your back so fast their heads will be spinning.
3. The One Who Has It All The Way Together
You spend so much time at Tiana's apartment that it might as well be your own. It's just that she's so good at cooking, and such a good host, and her place is so clean, and her bed is so soft, and please don't make me ever go home.
2. The Human Encyclopedia
Pocahontas should be first on your list of phone-a-friends if ever you went on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, because she just. knows. everything. She recognizes every species of plant or animal that you come across on your nature hikes, and she can rattle off literally every color of the wind like it's nothing.
1. Your Partner In Crime
Merida is the one you want to call when you're in the mood for a hike or a horseback ride or some other outdoorsy adventure where you don't mind getting dirty. Just be warned that she's as mischievous and competitive as she is talented at every single activity, so challenge her at your own risk, knowing that your day will end with the two of you bruised and battered, but still cracking up.

The spider is a giant arachnid with a blue exoskeleton, six legs, four red eyes, and large mandibles.
Initially a regular, if overly large, spider (albeit with picky tastes), she is later subjugated and tamed by Ludo to be his loyal minion.
Ludo was initially the giant spider's prey caught in her web, but she released him because he tasted bad. After Ludo bests her in battle, he figures out how to tame her into a loyal minion using potato chips. At the end of "Toffee", Ludo releases her back into the wild. In "Princess Quasar Caterpillar and the Magic Bell", he gleefully reunites with her.
Bald eagle
She cooperates with the bald eagle as a comrade in battle. In "Starcrushed", she is shown letting the eagle feed her potato chips and insects, implying that they have a close bond.
Star Butterfly and Marco Diaz
As enemies of her master, she is hostile and aggressive towards them on command.
In "Ludo, Where Art Thou?", it is revealed that the spider has been hiding out with Dennis at his parents' house. At the end of the episode, Dennis promises to look after the spider for Ludo.
Like normal spiders, the spider can produce webs from its abdomen that are strong enough to support a lot of weight. It is also somewhat skilled in physical combat, able to grapple with Ludo and use its legs like cutting and piercing weapons.

I have a lot of baggage.
Yeah I know, I shouldn't brag about all the crap that has made me this awesome, but it's all truth; I've enjoyed a lot of life's scars. For the most part I've made peace with my past, or just got so removed from it in the telling and retelling from doctor to doctor that I've began to feel very detached to my own life story. It's surreal to talk about things that have happened to me when they don't feel like they are mine; many times it feels like something I've read in books or movies I've seen. I don't even feel familiar with the person I was enough to write about my past.
It's 1:30am, tomorrow–later today–is my weekly appointment with my psychologist. Boy do I have a shit storm to share with her.
A life's lesson last week cracked open my pit of despair. An epiphany, I found that there is a difference between thinking about something and having a memory. 24 February is my grandad's birthday, he would be ninety-one last Wednesday. Since he passed I've experienced a strange gauzy sense about his absence. When my mom called to tell me he died I was fresh out of the psych ward, at the time my mind was organizing information prioritized what I could deal with and what was for later accounting. I failed to ever get back to it because the rollercoaster called life; time passed and I forgot.
I know. Really, I do! Who forgets something as important as grieving? My guess is it happens more than you'd think. I'm awesome, but not at all unique.
Wednesday I hitched my rucksack on my shoulder and set out to go to church and pray.
As a kid I loved catching moths to put in jars to watch, they would flutter and flail about it's confines; my chest became one of those jars as I got closer to the mission. In a frantic search for a rosary that looked most like the one he had in the hospital, I guzzled an entire 16oz bottle of water, confusing the sweet arthritic woman at the shop to utter bafflement. I was sweating. I was nervous. I was terrified. Half of my fear was that I was running out of time. All the sudden my inner organizer found that shoebox with the mental obituary and I was six years late to his funeral.
I entered the doors of the Mission de Alcala, crossed myself, and found a seat. I knelt and prayed. Nothing happened.
What do I mean nothing happened, I was praying. Did I expect showgirls? A parade? No. I just mean my head was still in that strange gauzy place, I didn't even have the words to pray. I was kneeling and empty. Nothing to say. Nothing to feel. I had never felt so confused. There was nothing there. Nothing inside I could sense.
I sat back and closed my eyes, stopped trying to think. Breathing was where I would start. I would inhale peace and exhale my panic. And I was having a panic attack.
The music was soft. I could hear the men who were polishing the pews moving along the other side of the aisle. I opened my eyes and stared at the altar, closed my eyes. Inhaled peace, exhaled the rubble in my head.
I did it a few times before kneeling again. I began to pray to St. Jude. Just being able to pull a prayer together was relaxing. I felt like the moths had stopped fluttering in my chest, but then my lungs were rattling some heavy smoke-like tightness. My exhaling had encountered the pure grief at the core of my panic. It was painful. It was out of reach though, I couldn't bring it into light. What the hell was it inside me?
Then this stupid Nokia ringtone went sounded. This woman genuflecting in front of the altar's ass was ringing, it echoed throughout the cathedral. She was deep in prayer, or deaf as a doornail because she let it ring on and on. Apparently for her, she was on the line with God couldn't ask him to hold a moment to get her cellphone echoing through the entire Mission. I jest but this woman's phone rang easily three times before she left. I like to think positive so I won't think about how much I loathe the Nokia ringtone but instead how much I loved her leaving so I wouldn't hear it anymore.
But the joke was on me because the phone wasn't for her, it was for me. When I kneeled back down I began having memories of my grandad. I wasn't thinking about him, I was remembering him as I knew him growing up. His gruff voice teasing me. The smell of him–all him, I would know him anywhere just by scent. I could hear his laughter in my head. I could see him kissing my grandmother goodbye when she died. I felt his skin, all papery and thin as I touched bruises or cuts on his arms, remember asking him where he had gotten the bruises, hearing him say it was gardening, or bringing something from the rumpus room to the bar. I could feel his hair as I cut it, soft fuzzy bristles, always a touch oily. The laughter of my mom when I shaved a bald spot on the back of his head by accident and him asking if it looked like Italy. He was real. He wasn't a thought to me. He was a memory. Not a foggy picture of a man, but my grandad. And I was a girl. I was the grand-daughter he taught, mentored, humored, shared secrets with, and loved. And I was hurting.
I felt loved.
And with that I had a good ugly cry in the Mission for a half-hour-plus. I had no tissues and I let the snot fly. I wiped my face on my arms and hands. I smooshed nose droppings into my eyes, to my forehead, and into my hair. I didn't censor my sorrow because it needed to be felt. It was demanding to be recognized. It didn't care who saw my cleansing, It didn't care who heard. It certainly didn't care that I looked like I had an allergy to Mission de Alcala that no Benadryl dose could ever cure.
When I got up to leave I was light; I felt like I was healing a sickness I didn't know I had. I held tight to my Rosary for the next two hours, it was the intravenous line dripping a sense of well being into my soul. I felt great.
I'm totally okay that I won't have to do that again, in that way, until next year. But thanks, grandad. I'm glad we got to sit and visit for a while.

Picture Khabarova quite interesting. We see a girl who is keen on reading a book. All her attention is absorbed by this process.
The girl nestled in a chair with her legs straight. On the right we see the skates, which are carelessly laid. For this detail, we can assume that Mila recently walked and is now back. She quickly took off her skates and immediately continued reading an exciting book. Above the chair is a small lamp. Light from her falls on the book.
Khabarov depicts a girl in bright colors. Mile is wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans. So all teenagers dress at her age.
Before us is the most common heroine that the artist does not embellish at all. For surrounding objects, he chooses a dark tone. The girl's figure stands out sharply against the blue armchair. White skates become a bright spot on the background of a dark floor. The artist creates a visible contrast. This technique conveys the helplessness of the heroine and her incredible touchingness.
Before us is really an original picture. Nowadays, a girl with a book is a rarity.
It is necessary to consider the face of Mila. She is thoughtful and focused. The nose of the heroine has the correct form. Blond hair scattered over the shoulders. The girl is very keen on reading. Her mouth is a little open.
The artist uses a clear compositional technique. The girl's figure is located in the center. A round chair becomes a very expressive spot on a brown background. Khabarov skillfully puts accents. He highlights in color those details to which the viewer should pay attention. Brush strokes are juicy and natural.
The painter managed to create an incredibly lively portrait. It turns out that in the most ordinary scene of reading a book there is a charm. Khabarov was able to convey the enthusiasm of the girl, which is seen not only in her pose, but also in other objects of this unusual canvas.

While everyone seems to agree on many key aspects of two next-gen OLED iPhones and an LCD variant due out sometime in the fall, that long overdue sequel to 2016's iPhone SE that's reportedly right around the corner continues to divide Apple insiders, tipsters and even regular "iFans."
French tech blogger Steve Hemmerstoffer, known for his generally reliable factory CAD-based renders of unreleased mobile products published under the @OnLeaks alias, isn't exactly helping solve the iPhone SE 2 mystery today.
That's because, for once, he cannot confirm the computer-aided imagery shared for "discussion purposes only" is "partially or completely accurate." He can't even confirm there's such a thing as a second-generation iPhone SE in the pipeline, but if there is, it could well look like a diminutive iPhone X… from the front.
From behind, the iPhone SE 2 rendered today is almost an exact replica of the original model, which unfortunately means wireless charging capabilities would be left out of the equation.
But some people favor metal over glass regardless, and pretty much everyone likes minimal bezels. Incredibly enough, the iPhone SE 2 is expected to squeeze a screen measuring anywhere between 4.7 and 5 inches in diagonal into the exact same body as its 4-inch predecessor.
We're talking identical 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6mm product dimensions, and such a feat would obviously not be possible without a notch. Alas, the headphone jack is absent from this theoretical design, and there's no Touch ID sensor in sight either, which would entail an expansion of advanced facial recognition technology to Apple's smaller, lower-end "iDevice." That sounds a little too good to be true, but stranger things have happened.

And Dr. Chikusu has thanked the Patriotic Front government for attaching great importance to the construction of food storage facilities in his constituency.
Dr. Chikusu who is also health deputy minister said the massive construction of roads will greatly reduce food wastage especially seasonal fruits due to the poor road networks.
He was speaking in Chibombo yesterday at the commemoration of the international environmental day which was organised by the Center for Livelihood Environment and Watershed Management (CLEWM).
This year's World Environment Day was held under the theme Think, Eat, Save.
And Dr. Chikusu thanked CLEWM for supporting government efforts in implementing various programmes in his constituency such as the sinking of boreholes among others.
Meanwhile, CLEWM country director Kotati Nonde says the removal of subsidies from fuel and maize wil at no cost address many issues related to the preservation of the environment which he said impacts negatively on people's lives.
Mr. Nonde also said the removal of subsidies will bring social services such as schools and hospitals closer to the people.
He also reaffirmed his organization's commitment to work with rural communities especially in areas of environmental management.

Children as young as nine years old are attempting to kill themselves, according to a new U.S. study that probes depression and suicide in youths.
And nearly 40 per cent of those who attempted suicide first tried to kill themselves in elementary or middle school, according to the study published in the November edition of the Journal of Adolescent Health by researchers from the University of Washington.
The data was collected from an ongoing study that asked 883 participants, aged 18 to 19, to discuss their suicidal history. Out of 78 participants who said they have attempted suicide, 38 said they made a single attempt and 40 made multiple attempts.
Those who tried to kill themselves multiple times began their attempts as children.
"Multiple attempters were more likely to have made their first suicide attempt during elementary or middle school compared to single attempters," said the study, titled: An Examination of the Validity of Retrospective Measures of Suicide Attempts in Youth.
Those who tried to kill themselves — especially those who made multiple attempts — reported significantly more depression than their peers. The authors suggest that with students trying to kill themselves at such young ages, suicide prevention programs should focus on elementary and middle school populations as well as high school populations.
The youngest age of a reported suicide attempt in the sample was nine years old. Suicide attempt rates showed a sharp spike when the participants were around 12 years old.
Twice as many girls as boys in the study tried to kill themselves.
"We can say that there is tremendous stress on being a teenager these days or even younger people because of the Internet and the fast pace of society and all sorts of things happening around them with the social interaction," said Grant Wilson, director of Canadian Children's Rights Council.

Famous faces have shown their support on social media...
After the new Love Island contestants were announced this week, we were all shocked to find out that one of the ladies is apparently TOWIE's Jon Clark's girlfriend.
Jon took to Instagram to claim that he'd been with Chloe Crowhurst for the best part of a year, that they'd been living together – and had just got a puppy.
See: TOWIE's Jon Clark Goes On A Furious Rant About One Love Island Contestant
Latest Stories
While some fans have accused him of being part of a publicity stunt, Jon's celebrity friends have been quick to stick up for him.
Celebs Go Dating's Nadia Essex responded to a Tweet dismissing Jon's rage with: 'She stayed at his the night before she flew out. I think keeping calm after finding out she is on Love Island is a bit much to ask.'
Jon's TOWIE co-star Tommy Mallet wrote: 'People will actually sell there mum to get on love island 😂 Then try and buy her back a year later when everyone has forgotten about them [sic].'
Love Island alumnus Kady McDermott consoled Jon: 'Hope you're ok Jon, she won't last long in the island anyway if that's her morals x,' while 2015 Islander Cally-Jane Beech took a slightly more direct approach, saying: 'Is she serious @jbclark_ !!! Lucky escape Hun, clearly a fame w**** with no morals. Hope she gets kicked of first week!
#loveisland [sic].'
Kady's boyfriend and former Love Island star Scott Thomas was one of many to suggest that Jon needs to 'go on the programme at some point to confront her', and Ex On The Beach's Harriette Harper hit out: 'Watched her love island video last night instantly disliked her anyways [sic].'
See: TOWIE's Jon Clark Denies His Love Island Rant Is A Publicity Stunt
Eep. While it's great that Jon has a support network around him, Chloe's friends have since Tweeted from her page: 'Let's not always believe what you read… there is two sides to every story. 6 days till you get to see that! #Loveisland #TeamChloe ❤❤ [sic].'
So we'll let her have her say…
Crikey. With THIS much drama before the show has even started, it looks like this series could be the best one yet.

November 12, 2012-Bloomington, California-A pedestrian accident led to the death of a man after he was hit by a sheriff's patrol car in Bloomington on Sunday evening. The accident occurred around 9:15 p.m. at the intersection of Cedar Avenue and Santa Ana Avenue. The sheriff's deputy, who was allegedly responding to a call, was driving south on Cedar when a pedestrian stepped into the road. The officer hit the man, killing him instantly.
It is unclear at this point if the driver or pedestrian had the right-of-way, but an investigation is ongoing. The victim has not been identified, but authorities did say that he was a 54-year-old man. The California Highway Patrol will continue to gather evidence and investigate the crash.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the victim's family in this case.
Pedestrian Accident Statistics in San Bernardino County
According to the Statewide Integrated Traffic Report published by the California Highway Patrol, there were 33 pedestrian fatalities and 392 pedestrian injuries in San Bernardino County in 2010. The majority of these accidents, which involved 10 fatalities, were in unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County, although the city of San Bernardino had 63 pedestrian injuries during that time period.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that 72 percent of all pedestrian fatalities occur in urban areas, and that 70 percent occur at night. About half of pedestrian fatalities occur on the weekend days. It is easy to understand these numbers because more people are walking and driving on the weekend and visibility is reduced at night.
What Happened in this Accident?
It is not yet clear whose fault this accident was. If the sheriff's deputy did not have the right-of-way, the deputy may be charged with the accident. On the other hand, if the pedestrian stepped into the road without having the right-of-way, the sheriff's deputy may be charged. However, regardless of who is charged with fault in the accident, liability may still be an issue.
How Does Liability in a Pedestrian Accident Work?
There are two different types of "proof" involved in a pedestrian accident. First, from a criminal standpoint, the police must show that the driver broke a law or violated the pedestrian's right-of-way in order to charge him. On the other hand, a civil case must only show that the driver was negligent.
The family of this victim should consult a San Bernardino personal injury attorney to determine if they have the right to collect damages in this case.

This just keeps getting richer and richer. Below is a copy of a receipt forwarded to us by one of our Eyes for two 5-star badges disgraced former Albuquerque Public Safety Director Darren White had made for himself. He had a regular badge and a flat wallet-style badge. Since the APD chief of police had 4-stars, we'll leave the speculation to our readers what 5-stars means....
|Darren White's Super-Chief Badge, ordered 1/8/2010
In today's (4/6/14) "newspaper," Kent Walz and his board of propagandists go on to list out the causes of APD's problems. They also go on to assert that, of course, RJ Berry is the answer to these problems. In it they assign a whole lot of blame (funny, barely last fall they endorsed Berry's notion that APD is fine and one of the best department's in the country) including:
It's the APOA's fault
It's Marty Chavez's fault
It's hiring of all the officers in 2009 fault
It's APD sergeant's fault.
As Paul Heh said last summer, this is "bullshit." But even more, here is Schultz in 2014 when asked about DOJ:
|This is Schultz's expression when asked about DOJ.
True accountability and responsibility for this mess rests with Ray Schultz, Allen Banks, Rob Perry, Darren White, and Richard "RJ" Berry. Make no mistake about it Kent, if not for these persons, APD would not be in the place it is today. If you had any grasp of understanding or intelligence you'd know that the APOA had been all but acting under the total direction and influence of Ray Schultz and Allen Banks. That Marty Chavez has not been mayor for over five years and the rampage of shooting you go on and on about commenced under Berry and White (and we are no Chavez fans for sure). That the vast majority of officers involved in the shootings were NOT hired during the hiring binge. And APD sergeant have no impact on discipline upon the officers when it's any significant incident of misconduct....that falls on the chief.
Berry, Perry, White, Banks, Levy and Schultz created this mess, let it fester, and now that it is clear how bad it is you giving cover to these people is nothing short of disgusting and reveals how truly corrupt you are. Anything for a buck for you and your brother huh Kent...
Ever since RJ Berry was elected mayor back in 2009, the city and it's beleaguered police department have been going from one scandal to another like a frog in festering swamp hopping from one toadstool to another.
We had Darren White from the outset letting Ray Schultz run amok while the new mayor got to test drive his new play-toy, a $1Billion dollar entity called the city of Albuquerque. And while under Schultz APD went on a rampage from unjustified shootings to historic civil rights abuses, White and new city attorney Rob Perry used the crime scene of murdered civil rights attorney Mary Han as a way to consolidate power and placate a defeated state supreme court justice and state Republican operative known as Paul Kennedy. All while Berry's kids at APD were running and spinning things to distort the reality and conceal facts. Kids like Chris Ramirerz and TJ Wilham.
Oh Eye, that's quite a yearn you say. Surely it's not possible city officials like APD lawyer Kathy Levy and Schultz's public information officers would spin and twist truths would they. And for what reason, I mean DOJ is on our side aren't they?
Frankly, we at the Eye have a hard time "seeing" it as well. Take a look at some recent discussion that were forwarded to us involving former APD PIO Rob Gibbs and some other former APD officers including former Deputy Chief Mike Castro:
Aside from Mr. Castro's remarks aside, former Officer Gibbs (now of the Denver Police Department) confirms what we all know to the be the case. Berry and his pals don't follow rules, they do what they want and at their convenience.
And who would they be going to for guidance in this mess? How, after years of resisting the notion that APD has any problems and that DOJ is not needed because, as disgraced Ray Schulz said, "APD has its house in order" does Berry actually make the claim that DOJ needs to hurry up?
Easy, his highly paid election coordinator has been busy spinning things around. You see, Berry paid his pal Jay McCleskey almost $500,000 in just 2013 alone. You all remember Jason right?

Rafael Ortega is not the sort of man you'd expect to meet in the Ramsey County offices in St Paul, Minnesota. As a product of the Lower East Side with a degree from Fordham, he's brought a brand new perspective to transportation since taking office in 1995.
"Nothing's going to be on the scale of New York but look, for us to be competitive as a region we gotta invest more in transit," said Ortega. "I got into this because my first year in office I went up to the capital [and] nobody on the board gave a hoot about transit, to be honest with you."
Ortega has a friendly, easy-going conversational style that occasionally causes meetings to run long. That's no problem, since he retains a high level of respect within the region for the light rail, streetcar and bus systems he has helped create.
As Ramsey County commissioner and chairman of the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority, Ortega is the individual with the most power to affect transportation policy in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he represents one half of the Twin Cities.
Up until a year ago, Ramsey was in fact the second largest county in a broad coalition of seven counties in the Twin Cities metro area that instituted a quarter cent sales tax increase to fund transportation improvements. On top of disagreements about how transportation resources should be distributed, certain counties in the metro area prioritized buses over trains while others did the opposite.
"As you're building out a system, you have to put your money in different pieces first, otherwise it's not the kind of thing that you could evenly distribute," Ortega told me. He jokingly added, "We'll buy ten buses and we'll give everybody 2.2 buses, y'know?"
Once the coalition disbanded, many counties discarded the sales tax they were using to fund the regional bus network, leaving Ramsey and Hennepin counties (where Minneapolis is located) to double their own sales tax carve-outs in order to fund their expanding networks. The two counties already see funding issues on the horizon.
"It's always a struggle to fund these projects, especially if you're trying to do it yourself because they're so big," Ortega mused. "So I think down the road we're gonna have to be creative about how we adjust this."
The upside is that the Twin Cities are quickly realizing the benefits of a robust transportation network. The green and blue line light rail lines that connect the two cities have already drastically outperformed expectations, meeting 20-year ridership goals in about a quarter of that time.
"For a while we were tracking [ridership statistics] like baseball scores," Ortega said. "It has to do with dependability – you go there and you know the train is coming more or less within twenty seconds of the time, if not right on time."
Because of these successes, Ortega now has a slate of new projects to consider, including a new streetcar connecting the Riverview corridor between Minneapolis and St Paul.
Ortega's strong track record with transit might influence how lawmakers view other transit projects in the state and region. The Passenger Rail Office of Minnesota's Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is on life support as it struggles to collect consistent funding from the state general fund. In fact, Minnesota's contribution to a study connecting St Paul, Milwaukee and Chicago via a second daily train was funded by Ramsey County because MnDOT couldn't come up with the funds.
Two out of the two employees working out of the Passenger Rail Office, Director Dan Krom and Project Manager Frank Loetterle, expressed concern over future funding for rail.
"We've been fighting an uphill battle ever since [it was founded] just to maintain the office and maintain funding," Krom said. "We have severe budget constraints."
Yet even with its limited budget, the Passenger Rail Office is working hard to continue to expand rail transportation connecting the Twin Cities to areas as far as Duluth.
"We're looking down the road to see where we can invest with the limited resources there we'll need in the future." Loetterle told me. He was positive that new projects such as the Northern Lights Express connecting Minneapolis and Duluth would bring in more first-time consumers who will begin to see the importance of a transportation network in their state.
To those working in passenger rail, robust and comprehensive transportation systems are the ultimate greater good, and it's worth dragging along stubborn counties or states into their vision in order to make that happen. When a new commuter climbs aboard and starts using public transportation, they're converted into rail advocates by simple nature of wanting their commute to be as painless as possible. The challenge for policymakers, then, is convincing other politicians how essential rail travel is to so many people.
"I mean, the ability of people to move from east to west [during Westward Expansion] is what gave people a lot of opportunities," Ortega said. "To achieve the American dream, you gotta be mobile. That's part of this country too, right?"

Being Elected to two positions
flipper92 posted a topic in General DiscussionA person is running for two positions in our ballot election next week. If he wins both positions, I understand he can just decide not to do one or the other. If that happens, does the second place winner in the position he rejected then automatically win that position? Our bylaws are silent on running/winning two positions. Thanks.
Board election controversy
mrsG posted a topic in General DiscussionWe advertised starting in January that elections would be held at the May meeting. We asked at meetings, in email blasts and on our Facebook page if anyone was interested in joining the board. We had 3 ladies step up- one each for secretary, treasurer and VP. I asked again at the May meeting. I presented the 3 ladies who had stepped up. A motion was made to accept the new board members. The motion was passed unanimously. All positions were uncontested. Is this valid?
Election Contested
coleche posted a topic in General DiscussionHello Your help needed. We have a couple of members that want to contest our election based on the fact that our membership did not recieve 10 days notification of election. Our bylaws state "Prior written notice of ten days for any election shall be given to chapter members via U.S. postal service communication." Which is debatable, because the President did send notice out via US mail, but it was sent out with other information as: campaign information and again with sample ballot. Also, it is in our bylaws that all elections are to be held in April and it was announced at a previous meetings. Based on RONR (11th ed.) pp. 444-446 shouldn't this have been done prior to voting and not after these candidates lost election? What other recourse do we have in dealing with this issue? Thank you!!
Unconstitutional Bylaws
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionHello everyone, I apologize for the convoluted situation I am about to describe. My university recently held an election for student body president. During this election there were violations of the election bylaws by numerous candidates. As a penalty, votes were subtracted from their vote totals. These subtracts completely changed the outcome of the election. It seems to me that these rules in the bylaws are illegal. Student senate has already confirmed the election results. Essentially, I am wondering if the confirmation vote by student senate can be retracted and if Roberts rules says anything about bylaws needing to be legal in terms of U.S. law to be followed. If so, could we ignore the portion of the election bylaws that call for votes to be thrown out based on campaign violations after retracting our confirmation? Otherwise, could this election somehow be deemed null and void because of this and a new election take place under amended bylaws? Best, Chris
Elections Point of Order
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionHello, This Tuesday our student government voted to pass a motion affirming the results of the election commission. However, it has come to my attention that a portion of the election commission bylaws violates students' fundamental rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. The election results were tabulated with deductions for campaign violations, as per the election bylaws. For example, a candidate violated the university's posting policy and 80 votes were subtracted from his vote total, causing him to lose the election. There is no mechanism for appeal. If this action is unconstitutional, and therefore is in violation of a fundamental principal of parliamentary law, namely the principle of following own specific rules, could I call a point of order violation at the next meeting and make our vote to accept the election commison's results null and void? Essentially, I am asking how I should approach fixing our vote to affirm election results that were tabulated based on election bylaws that are against the Constitution. I mean we basically passed a motion to affirmed an action that violated our students' Constitutional rights. There has to be a remedy for this, right? (FYI, I am in no way involved in the election and do not know any of the cafaiates. I just do not want to see this happening at my campus.) Best, Chris
CJD posted a topic in General DiscussionI have a question about nominations / elections. In our fire department, we have a process for elections where in November we have nominations from the floor, then ballot elections in December for our officers. The question is this. If a candidate nominates himself, for a position, which would be an unopposed position, how can the body not elect them. I know one way is the run someone against the person. But trying to find people to hold office is difficult if not impossible. The problem is that 90% of the department does not like the individual. The problem is that the person meets all the election requirements but he has poor leadership skills. Since we cannot use "yes/no" votes during the elections, what do we do? Can we not accept the person during the nomination process? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I am the president of a non-profit group that will be holding an election of officers at the next meeting. Several members of the group are wanting to amend the bylaws to make certain individuals eligible to hold office that currently are not eligible. They would also like to change the voting process to secret ballot rather than verbal. They want to do all this before the election is conducted. The election would be considered old business and the changing of the bylaws would be new business. Is there a ruling that allows us to change the order of business and how would I proceed?
Election material
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionA nomination committee is chosen and ballots are prepared and sent to financial member to vote on two candidates that have approved being on the ballot for the position of Vice President. Candidate A submits his bio to sent with the ballot. Should the committee contact the other candidate as to his option to submit a bio? If committee doesn't contact candidate B to request his bio be included; is this improper?
elections elections
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionIf there are fewer members signed up for open board positions than the are positions available, can the existing president and/or board simply appoint members and avoid the time and expense of balloting ?
Our organization has a bylaws requirement for the NomCom's report to be published to the voting members prior to the annual meeting. Specifically, the bylaws state: "The director shall submit the nominating committee report to the members of the district council at least four weeks prior to the annual meeting." For the first time in our 50+ year history, this notice requirement was not met. I understand from previous posts that the prevailing wisdom on this scenario is that the "report" of the NomCom is "invalidated" at the annual meeting. My naive conceptualization of a NomCom report is that it is functionally consists of two parts: a] an informational report consisting of summary of the committee's work and 'recommendations' (e.g. nominations) much like any report and b] an implied incidental main motion to actually place the slate into nomination (I theorize that it is implied because the report affects this outcome despite no explicit motion being made). Questions: Is this a correct understanding? If so, should not the 'invalidation' only apply to the implied motion and not the whole report? (i.e. the report can be given but the committee cannot place names into nomination) If not, how can a procedural provision of the bylaws silence the work of a whole committee who has correctly executed their duty? Speaking of procedural provisions... would this notice requirement be exempt from being overridden by suspending the rules? What has been proposed is to have the NomCom report that they nominated X, Y, Z candidates but that the lack of notice prevents these people from being nominated by the committee and, thus, they are merely recommendations. (Our election protocol includes a section that requires the NomCom Chair's report to include the oral reading of each office and each candidate(s).) Then, we would proceed with taking nominations from the floor - including those people who would otherwise have been nominated by the committee. Does this make sense? Any other thoughts, input, or ideas? I, as relatively new parliamentarian, will likely have to help the Chair with many questions from an unhappy crowd. I'd like to be fully prepared as well as having an easily understandable explanation for a membership not versed in parli pro. Thanks, in advance, for any thoughts, advice, and help.
Nominating Committee for Political Convention
Guest posted a topic in Advanced DiscussionI am working on a team developing rules for a convention that includes a nominating committee. The nominating committee will choose a slate of delegates to be elected to go to our organizations National Assembly. There are 9 slots available and the nominating committee will nominate members for all nine. In a normal year we would go through the motions of taking nominations form the floor and there would be few if any other nominees. This year due to internal issues, we are expecting multiple nominations from the floor. I would not be surprised if we had another 20 people nominated. I am at a loss as to how to make this an orderly process. How do we elect 9 out of 29? Our custom has been to only allow nominations by nominating committee and from the floor the day of the convention so we won't even know the names or number of nominees in advance. Your thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Declining a previously accepted nomination.
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionOnce someone has "accepted" a nomination for a board position, what is the correct procedure to later "decline" the nomination? Is it appropriate to later decline the nomination to a current board member or is it required for them to decline in person at board meeting?
Wait time for Election of Officers
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionToday at a Chapter meeting a member objected to presenting and voting on a new slate of officers, stating that the Chapter must notify members and wait until the next meeting to elect them. The Chapter By laws read that the Nominating Committee will be selected at the January meeting and present the new slate of officers at the March meeting. There is no mention that the membership must be notified or that the vote should be postponed past the presentation of the slate in March. Our National By laws also state that the slate is to be presented and voted on without mention of a waiting time. The member states that these changes were voted on and are included in the Secretary's minutes but she doesn't remember when. However, even if they were, being a part of a National Society, our Chapter By laws cannot differ from theirs. How do I advise the Presiding Officer to act? Thanks.
Question on Elections
mkmagu posted a topic in General DiscussionOur dog rescue is having it's annual meeting this Saturday, voting is by ballot including online absentee voting. Today one of the candidates for a 1 year board position just dropped out out of the elections leaving 1 other candidate. I know some people have already voted via absentee ballot and most likely some have voted for the candidate that dropped out. As far as I know our by-laws have nothing covering this scenario. Would the remaining candidate automatically win? Would another vote have to take place at a later date? Would it be right of the board to remove the candidate that dropped out from the ballot for Saturdays meeting when others have had the chance to vote for the individual? I assume the candidate that dropped out received the majority vote it would force the rescue to have another vote scheduled at a later date. Sorry for all the questions I did a Google search but could not find a scenario similar. Thank you Mary
Board of Directors and committee chairpersons
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionOur organization consists of a board of directors. We then have committees for various functions and each committee has a chairperson and they report to the board of directors. In the past, if a committee chairperson ran for and was elected to the board of directors, he/she would give up the chair position of the committee that they were on. However, we now have the chairperson of one of the committees that is running for an open position on the board of directors and does not want to give up her chairperson position. We don't have anything in our by laws that cover this, does Roberts Rules cover this situation?
President Resigns
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionI have a scenario where the President of a committee resigns for personal reasons and the rest of the executive follow and also resigns, that is V.P., secretary and Treasure they all resigned. Only members sril on board are the Directors. To form a new executive no ones to initiate resolution and the Past President does not want to step in and attempt to help and assist in having an election to form a new executive board. The question is if a new executive is formed can the members that resigned from the board such as secretary, VP and Treasurer can they re-run for same positions after they resigned from the previous Board.
Election - Term of Office
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionI have been referred by Alan Jennings. Here is my problem. We had elections for five officers. Our constitution reads Term of Officers A. The term of office shall be two years. B. Officers may serve no more than two consecutive terms or until a replacement may be secured. Lady A served two consecutive terms as second Vice President. The Nomination Committee . At the election Luncheon, Lady B was nominated from the floor.presented no opposition, so lady A was nominated to continue in the position. At the election Luncheon, Lady B was nominated from the floor.Voting was conducted by written ballot , and Lady A won with 2/3 of the vote.Who won the 2nd VP position for two years?Lady A or lady B. Can you send me the process used to draw the conclusion? I appreciate your help and your response. Sincerely, Constance Strucko
Disqualifying a slate of candidates
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionA little over a year ago, a slate of four officer candidates was put together and accepted by our nominating committee as the slate to be put before our assembly. The four candidates were duly elected. Nominations for each individual post from the floor are allowed. There were none. The four officers stood for re-election this year, were accepted by the nominating committee, and were reelected by acclamation. One of the officers, however, had unintentionally violated one of our term limit rules (we have two different term limit rules). When he discovered his error and before the first meeting of this year, he stepped down immediately. There is a movement, now, to declare the whole election invalid and remove the other three officers. It appears to me that, since anyone could have gone to the nominating committee and asked to be on the slate for any position and since anyone can be nominated from the floor for any position, this attempt to disqualify three officers because of the error of a fourth has no basis on which to proceed and should be ruled out of order. There are no unique local rules outside of the fact that there are two different term limit rules. Am I on firm ground?
Conducting elections of board members
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionOur bylaws call for the chair of the elections committee, appointed by the president, to conduct the election of board members at our annual meeting. This year no one from the elections committee will be able to attend the annual meeting. My thought was that the president could appoint a current board member not on the ballot to do so. Suggestions for appointing someone to conduct the elections. Thanks.
Officers and Agendas
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionWe are starting a new school year and our student government failed (due to conflicts between certain students and advisors) to hold an election for new officers. Starting this school year, since the term expired over the summer, what should we do for running a meeting? The past-year's President and Secretary are still at the college, but should they still be in their positions? Fact is: a few of us are exasperated but still trying to keep our government going because this is how our clubs get funding and activities happen on campus. In order to hold elections we have to have an election committee make the election known for people to nominate themselves or others with ample amount of time, then at least half the college has to vote, so this will take most likely the first whole month of school. IF the past President and Secretary can keep the positions we are still down a vice, treasurer (which is required by law), and a PIO. I guess one way to sum this complicated problem up is: can we hold an emergency vote where members present volunteer for roles? Can I along with our other director create an agenda and tell the government that I'm creating a committee to get this stuff done that meets immediately after that meeting and Chair the committee? Who is in charge (please tell me not the advisor)?
Board Members Carrying Proxy for their elections
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionCan a Board member up for election carry a proxy for his/her own election?
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionFACTS: Our bylaws state there shall be "no less than 3 nor more than 5" Board members. There is nothing else in reference to this statement in the bylaws, covenants, state statutes, etc. We had our annual meeting. During the election process, prior to nominations, a motion was made and passed to limit the size of the Board to 3 people. Three people were ultimately elected. An outgoing Board member said this was illegal, based upon the wording. He contends that despite the motion, if 5 people ran, all five would be elected. Others believe that if 5 people ran, only the top 3 vote getters would serve. QUESTION: Was the motion limiting the Board to 3 people for this year, valid and legal?
When does an elected term end?
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionOur by-laws state that officers are elected for a "one year" term. There are no exceptions or additional provisions. We are required to follow Roberts Rules both by state statute and our by-laws. The current Board has set the annual meeting for six days after their one year term has expired, and have advised the HOA owners, that they intend to remain in office for ten (10) more additional days after the election. There is no reason that the board could not have set the annual meeting in advance of the one year deadline except for egotistical control. I have the following questions: 1. Can a board with a one year term remain in office beyond that year when there are no provisions to do so and there have been no exigent circumstances? 2. Can the board decide to set an election beyond their one year term, and arbitrarily decide to remain in office for yet an additional period of time? 3. If by operation of the by-laws and statute, the boards term ends before the next annual meeting, are they still in a position of authority to run that meeting? If not, who does? 4. Please verify that unless there are other provisions in the by-laws or statutes, once an election is held, the newly elected board takes over, then and there or at the conclusion of the meeting
Presidential Election with no VP
Guest posted a topic in General DiscussionHello and Thanks for your time I have a question about our upcoming elections? If we have 2 people nominated for the presidents position and no one nominated for the Vice Presidents position at the time of the vote does the loser of the Presidential election become the Vice-President ?
Election to an office not vacant
Richard Brown posted a topic in Advanced DiscussionIs an election to an office which is not vacant always void and a continuing breach? A member is elected in a special election to an office that the members erroneously believed to be vacant. Is such an election always void or does it depend on the circumstances? Assume, for the purposes of this discussion, that the position is already filled and is not vacant and that the error comes to light after the special election to fill the alleged "vacancy". Consider the following two scenarios. Case A: The bylaws provide that officers serve a fixed term, such as for two years, and the term has not expired. Someone else is elected to the position in a special election to fill the "vacancy" under the mistaken belief that the office is vacant. Is there any scenario under which such an election would be valid? Case B: The bylaws provide that officers serve a term of two years or until their successors are elected. Someone else is elected to the position by more than a two-thirds vote in a special election under the mistaken belief that the office is vacant. Is the election valid? Why or why not? I know that normally if someone is elected to a position which is not vacant, the election is void and constitutes a continuing breach because it conflicts with something previously adopted (the prior election to a term which has not yet expired). (page 445) However, I'm also mindful of the provisions in RONR that say that the adoption of a motion which conflicts with a motion previously adopted is valid if adopted by the vote necessary to rescind the previously adopted motion. (page 251) The following provisions seem relevant: Page 445 lines 23-25 Page 251 lines 9-10 and 11-15 Pages 653-654 re Removal from Office I'm assuming that the provisions on page 445, lines 23-25, being specific to elections, would be controlling over the more general provisions of page 251 lines 11-15, but I'm anxious to hear what others think.

text: Reduce repetive tasks with more template options. I would like to see feature templates for phones/users. For instance, our company has 40+ users and we would like to enable paging. Currently it is disabled for all extensions. I have to as an admin, configure each users permissions and enable the intercom feature on every user individually. This is a pain. I would like to see a template where I can edit multiple users' settings at once. This is one of many issues we have run into. So really we are looking for a way to edit settings for multiple users at once. This would be astronomically beneficial. I would imaging something like this: in the users screen on ringcentral's website, the ability to check boxes for multiple users(currently implemented) then a button at the top to edit. AND: A User template that I can edit and assign to various extensions, then when the template is edited then the users' phones or extensions are all updated. Hope this is clear enough!

Hello Friends,
Hope all is well. I just wanted to give you heads up on a very important event that will be taking place on Sunday September 21st. The event is Peace Day. I learned of the event through Peace One Day on myspace.
Peace Day is the dream of Jeremy Gilley. In 1998 he set out to talk to the leaders of the world to establish a day of peace. A day when there would be a complete cease fire between every nation. It is a day on which everyone should be focused on the message of peace.
I am all for a day like this. Hopefully, instead of just a day, we can have a Peace Week, and a Peace Month, which will hopefully lead to peace every day of the year. It's a dream we should be all striving for and helping to promote.
Mother Theresa was approached to join many anti-war rallies and she always refused. She would say, "Point me in the direction of a peace rally and I'll be there." She knew that an anti-war movement would bring about more war.
We have a lot of wars taking place today. The "war on drugs", "the war on poverty", "the war on terrorism". It seems as though we are only losing these wars. The reason is because "war begets war". So by using words such as "war" we are only enforcing the negative feelings associated with war. The more you push against something the more it persist.
A peace rally takes away the negative and only focuses on the positive. With a peace rally, you are not fighting or destroying anything. Rather, you are building and growing the positive consciousness that is in all of us.
I encourage each of you to join the Peace Day efforts. Make an effort to promote peace on September 21st. When we have millions of people focused on peace at the same time, we will send out a great wave a positive energy. Hopefully this energy will be felt by the leaders of the world and they will realize that peace is the only way.
You can visit Peace Peace One Day to make your commitment to the Peace Day movement. I'm number 16,499 under Quoteguy. My pledge to peace is, "I will destroy an enemy by first making him my friend". I chose this because it is something I can do every day and not just on a designated day. The important thing to remember is to strive for peace each and every day.
I would love to hear your commitments to peace. Leave me a comment on how you will promote peace on September 21st and every day there after. This our planet.
our home. We have to preserve it for future generations. Let's help to ensure that peace will be the main focus of every human being living and soon to be born. Many blessings, and thanks for listening.

SummaryNice atmosphere, different player classes, but not much longevity.
The GoodThe setting and atmosphere were nicely designed. I can't help but to think of the "Alien" movies with Sigourney Weaver. There is a good difference in playing style between humans and aliens. Also, both humans and aliens have different player classes to choose from. Humans are able to build different structures, and aliens could evolve into more powerful creatures. The most fun you could have is by becoming a more advanced alien and executing the attacks.
The BadIt gets boring quickly. If you play as a human, most of your time will be spent defending your home base against the rushing alien attacks, and if you play as an alien, most of your time will be spent rushing the human base. That's it. There is really not much else to the game play. It also doesn't help much that the weapons the humans have access to aren't very interesting. Some of the structures you are able to build as a human don't serve a real purpose, and are mostly ineffective against the alien rushes.

Antonio Lopez, Willi Smith and Patrick Kelly
The 1980's, in the fashion world, being of color and gay was to be celebrated…today, in 2009, it seems that we have made both huge strides forward and vast puzzling backward steps at the same time. Eighties icons of color in the fashion industry such as Antonio Lopez, illustrator and designers, Willi Smith and Patrick Kelly were Colorful Characters who delighted in their cultures and shared them liberally… distinctly moving the needle Beyond The Pale in a way not seen today.
As I write this post, I am aware of the huge sea-change in the presence and design output of designers of color. Today the term "urban or street fashion" is the dominant mode of business and expression as designed by powerhouse names such as Kimora Lee, P.Diddy, Russell Simmons and Marc Ecko. Embraced by all races, and notable for this reason and many others, however, there is a couture sensibility encapsulating a rich cultural history that seems to be missing in the industry. A look at designers and illustrators from the 1980's makes one wish for the sophisticated, elegant and playful references that were the language of color beyond the hip hop lifestyle confines that currently define urban fashion. (Notable exceptions today include Rachel Roy, Tracy Reese, Patrick Robinson…more to come on them!)
Aren't we all awaiting a young designer to take on the iconographic richness of African culture, build on what Patrick Kelly began to hint at… in the way a Lagerfeld took Chanel's language of freedom and power…and change the game?
This is part of the dream for Fashion Beyond The Pale.
We seek to discover new luminaries while celebrating the powerful legacy of designers, models and visionaries of color. Here are my LIGHTS that we honor from the Eighties…
Antonio Lopez (1943 – 1987)
"To Antonio, illustration was not merely a tool to sell high priced clothing to the upper class white woman, but to demonstrate that regardless of ethnicity, social class, gender or sexual orientation, any individual could evoke their own glamour and style." Chou belle blog
Antonio Lopez was the crowning dessert of my diet of Kenneth Paul Block, Joe Eula and Mats Gustafson in art school as a Fashion Illustration Major. (Yes, that major actually existed during the art's last hurrah in the 80's.) A prodigy as an intern at WWD,Women's Wear Daily, Lopez's style of illustration had all the detail and reverence of the Italian masters. He was one of fashion's shining stars who died too early at 44 from AIDS, yet interestingly, he was engaged to Jerry Hall. Antonio's illustrations enhanced the career of Jerry Hall and of all his "girls", Grace Jones, Jessica Lange, Pat Cleveland among many. They shine in the bible of his work,"Antonio's Girls."
Two key factors emerge when looking at the inspiration and history of fashion genius among people of color, families who sewed or did tailoring and extended stays in Paris. For Lopez, growing up in NYC, his seamstress mother, would ask him to draw flowers for her embroideries. His father was a mannequin maker who had his son apply make-up to the forms and stitch their wigs.
Metamorphosing pop-art and surrealism with tropical imagery and the glamour of the first Supermodels dancing on top of tables at Les Bains Douche, the famed nightclub in Paris, Lopez's art created and celebrated an ideal of multi-ethnic girls whose representations had much to do with shaping the standards of late twentieth-century beauty…beyond the pale.
Willi Smith (1948 – 1987)
"I don't make clothes for the Queen, but for the people on the street who wave as she passes." Willi Smith
On the street in the Eighties, I very happily wore my olive green pleated Willi Smith skorts and the cherry red Indian cotton hammer pants with tops from Renaissance or white muscle tanks and 1950's sparkly pumps. I loved the sense of play and air embodied in them as I danced through several Summer evenings which turned into dawn street parties as we spilled out from the clubs at 6 am, dizzy, sweaty and blissed-out from hours of dancing.
Beyond my own memories, historically Willi Smith influenced Patrick Robinson, designer at The Gap into fashion, saving him from a medical school jaunt and gave Bethann Hardison her modeling career start upon a chance meeting in an elevator according to this great Bethann article on the fashion bomb blog.
With a business worth 25 million dollars at one point and prestigious industry awards, one could say that Willi Smith invented the idea of "street wear". This excellent article on Willi Smith mentions his pioneering use of videos and the iconography of the street- brick walls, street signs and traffic lights in his showroom- to sell his concept, visual staples of urban style today.
Patrick Kelly (1954 – 1990)
"No other well-known fashion designer has been so inextricably linked to both his race and his culture. And no other designer was so purposeful in exploiting both", wrote Robin Givhan in The Washington Post in a fascinating article.
Big color, big buttons and big smiling black faces. Mississippi-born Patrick Kelly celebrated his culture and race in a fun and delightful way. Like many creative Americans of color he moved to Paris, reflective of other pioneers of color such as Josephine Baker, James Baldwin and yes, Grace Jones. Champions of Kelly's work included Bette Davis, Isabella Rossellini and Cicely Tyson, whose patronage helped him to eventually secure backing from Warnaco, the industry giant. Kelly was the first American admitted to the Chambre Syndicale, France's prestigious organization of fashion designers. Unfortunately, he too succumbed to AIDS at this height of his career and this bright star was lost.
These images and a great homage can be found on Mr. Peacock's blog.
Oliviero Toscani's photo shows the Love.
The love for Patrick Kelly is enduring.
Mr. Peacock (one of my favorite blogs) pays homage to Patrick Kelly with this dress with a button heart, shown above.
The Brooklyn Museum Patrick Kelly: A Retrospective show, exactly five years ago, in 2004, was organized by guest curator Thelma Golden, Deputy Director for Exhibitions and Programs at The Studio Museum in Harlem.
Here is more insight from Robin Givhan's excellent article.
"…Kelly's legacy bears few indications of self-doubt, anger or hatred — self- or otherwise. Instead, it is relentlessly, ruthlessly joyful, a spirit that is captured in the exhibition. By embodying the stereotypes, Kelly sought to deflate them. He was a cheerful and charming radical who handed out his tiny black plastic baby dolls — their lips dyed bright red — to anyone he might meet.
"The most direct descendants of Kelly are the designers and entertainers who have sprung from hip-hop: men and women who use racial epithets as a synonym for "buddy," who celebrate pickaninny braids and nappy roots, who model glamorous clothes after uniforms of defeat, desperation and poverty. That connection makes sense. Kelly wasn't creating fashion as much as he was crafting a silk and satin portrait of his culture."
"It may be that Kelly would only be disappointed that a decade after his death the images still have the power to outrage and embarrass."
Can you imagine this imagery today during our times of Obama, racist pool members and the Gates arrest?

The Holoprobe was an upgrade of the Holoview. It allowed the viewing of holovids. Though similar to the Holoview, it was far more advanced and capable of far greater quality. The Holoprobe would use the information on the holovid to make educated guesses on what was missing or too degraded to read.
The First Doctor had a Holoprobe in his TARDIS. The inhabitants of Tarron could have developed Holoprobes several centuries after colonising and the Kephras who controlled them had similar technology, though larger and of a lower quality than the Doctor's. (PROSE: Tarnished Image)
