This earring was found in Israel and was originally thought to be from the Byzantine period, around the 4th or 5th century A.D. After the earring was tested in the laboratory, it was discovered to be over 2,000 years old. Amazing. The piece is made out of gold and pearls and emeralds. For something that predates the Christian era, it looks amazingly fresh and trendy, even. I can imagine the jeweler Elizabeth Locke having a pair like these in her collection. If there were two of these, I would wear them to my nephew's wedding this weekend.
These gold earring are from the 1st century, found in Afghanistan. My daughter recently gave me a pair a earrings that look remarkably similar.
17th century gold pendant – BC, that is! Amazing!!!! The pendant features bees circling the sun. But even at 17 century BC, it's still not the oldest recorded jewel. That distinction belongs to the beads below:
This early string of beads, a total of 41 tiny shells, was found in a South African cave. There are visible holes and wear markings that document these shells were strung together. This necklace is more than 75,000 years old – 30,000 years older than any other ornament ever discovered. Even cavemen were vain, apparently.
A Short History of Jewelry:
Jewelry predates Homo Sapiens. The Cro-Magnon man who roamed the earth from 45,000-10,000 BC made jewelry adorned with engravings that told the story of their great migration from Africa to the Middle east, and on to Europe. Other early examples of jewelry are plentiful. In a Paleolithic cave in the Pyrenees mountain of France, an archaeologist found bracelets and necklaces made out of teeth, shells, mother of pearl and stone – strung with twine or a piece of animal sinew – that date from 17,800 to 6,500 BC. A Spanish cave produced the earliest example of gold jewelry – which also dates to the late Paleolithic period from 40,000 – 10,000 BC. Other metals such as copper, iron, tin, and silver were first seen over 10,000 years ago. Copper in jewelry was first used in 7,000 BC in Turkey. Metalworking was hard business though, until bronze came about in 3,500 BC, which in turn started the Bronze Age. Man really can only speculate what early jewelry was used for, as there is no written language from that age. Cave drawings from 10,000 to 12,000 are too basic to describe jewelry's importance.
Gold bracelets found at the biblical town of Nimrud.
Many references to jewelry are found in the bible. Solomon's son paid a ransom in temple treasures and jewelry that belonged to the royal women. Jezebel was adorned with jewelry. Gold jewelry from Nimrud was discovered. Along with the Israelites, early Egyptians valued jewelry, especially that made of gold, which came from Africa. The early Greeks and Romans also wore jewelry. Greek jewelry was influenced from Asia after Alexander's conquests. Roman women in particular wore large amounts of jewelry. The early Roman design, the fibula, which looks like a safety pin, is still produced today. Back then, the decorative fibula was used to pin clothing together. They were adorned with Sri Lankan sapphires and diamonds from India. Cameos and intaglio carvings were also popular with the early Romans, both of which are still popular styles today. Later in time, the Byzantine people used jewelry laden with gemstones. Men limited themselves to signet rings, similar to English men today. India was another country where jewelry was prevalent. Initially Indian jewelry was made of clay and shells, which was later replaced with glass and metals. India used their ornaments to ward off evil and pay dowries and slave beads were used as trading currency.
Early Roman jewelry: a snake bracelet and a coin ring that features emperor Marcus Aurelius (121 AD to 180 AD). Roman men were required to wear at least one ring, which was used with hot wax to seal documents and letters. The fibula, an early safety pin, held Roman clothes together. Here an intaglio is seen on the fibula's front.
Queen Elizabeth I adored pearls, which were said to signify her virginity.
Coming out of the Dark Ages into the Renaissance, much jewelry of that age has been lost. The Thirty Years war caused great havoc on the civilized nations as all their natural resources were used to further their causes. Examples of jewelry from this time are almost non existent. After the war was over, France led the fashion movement and jewelry was changed completely with new designs. Old settings were melted down and reshaped to fit the trends. Gemstones became more important than the setting and the cutting of stones became an art. The Rose cut was most popular, but by 1640, stones with 16 surfaces started appearing. Amsterdam became the world's stone cutting headquarters – as this is where the Portuguese Jews were expelled to. The design of the setting became more paramount: diamonds were set in silver and gem stones were set in gold. During this period, Baroque pearls fell out of favor while strings of pearls gained popularity. Enamel used in jewelry came primarily from Switzerland where only a few craftsmen could master the challenging art. One of the largest changes in jewelry came about in the 17th century. Before this time only royalty and upper class wore jewelry. But, in France, Italy and Holland, the country class were now able to afford to wear gold and silver ornamentation and it became part of their peasant costumes. This provincial jewelry rose in importance, while the upper class could only stand by and watch these societal changes.
The 18th century brought about Romanticism which had a huge impact on jewelry making. Modern archaeology revived an interest in ancient jewelry styles. The growing middle class' desire for jewelry brought about the beginnings of costume jewelry and the development of paste and gem stone substitutes, something that today is still a huge portion of the market. At this time, goldsmiths flourished as the upper class required jewelry that was set apart from the costume varieties. This all changed when in America, Tiffany and Co. opened its doors in 1837 and Pierre Cartier opened their doors in France in 1884. Italy was the home of Bulgari. These jewelry stores signified the beginning of the mass production studios, which forever changed the individual craftsman's dominance in jewelry making.
Queen Alexandra, Queen Elizabeth's great grandmother, loved jewelry and she was only ever seen covered in pearls and diamonds.
The royal jewelry is never sold, it is simply passed down from generation to generation. Here, Queen Alexandra is seen in the pearls and diamonds that she passed down to her daughter in law, the future Queen Mary.
Queen Alexandra wearing a tiara which her great granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth has been wearing throughout her reign.
Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth's grandmother, wearing strands of diamonds she got from her mother in law.
Some of these same diamond strands were passed down to her granddaughter Princess Margaret. After her death, these diamonds were auctioned off, something that is rarely seen within the royal family.
And now, to the giveaway!!!!
The designer, Leslie Andrews, who creates all the jewelry for her company, Tarnished Lace, recently contacted me about a giveaway. Her jewelry appealed to me because she uses vintage pieces to make her unique, one of a kind pieces. Here is how she describes her work:
"I love bits and pieces of jewelry ephemera from previous centuries. I collect antique ivory, Venetian glass, crystal and mother of pearl beads, vintage rosaries, tarnished sterling charms and other tiny mementos to recreate necklaces, bracelets and earrings which evoke a sense of history. Additionally, I design and fashion heirloom pieces from clients' personal collections of family jewelry. This is my passion. Each item is unique and tells a story. The majority of components in each piece is a true antique (over 100 years old) or truly vintage (over 50 years old). My goal is to design beautiful, well-made, affordable jewelry which connects with the past."
In picking out one piece of jewelry for the giveaway, we decided on the Victorian Eiffel Tower bracelet, as a tie in with the French theme of the blog. This piece is loaded with both vintage and antique treasures: the opalescent glass ovals and silver fleur de lis are circa 1940 and came from a necklace previously owned by a west coast opera singer. The Victorian filigree snowflake is circa 1900 and is encrusted with six clear rhinestones and a royal blue center stone. The link is from a post war souvenir bracelet from Paris and there is also a vintage sterling silver Madonna with a halo of tiny stars and sterling silver rose blossoms. All this on one bracelet! The winner of this giveaway will receive the Victorian Eiffel Tower bracelet, compliments of Tarnished Lace.
How to Enter:
Simply go to the Tarnished Lace web site here: http://tarnishedlace.com/gallery.html
Look at her items for sale and find one piece of jewelry that you really love and which speaks to you. Come back here to the comments section and leave a comment telling me your favorite piece of jewelry. That's all! The contest will close this Saturday night at 12:00 pm.

Kuyt leaves Liverpool for Fenerbahce
Dirk Kuyt insists the appointment of Brendan Rodgers as Liverpool manager had nothing to do with his decision to join Fenerbahce.
The Turkish giants announced the signing of the Holland striker on a three-year contract, ending his six-year spell on Merseyside.
The 31-year-old found first-team starts limited under Kenny Dalglish last season, and even the Scot's departure followed by Rodgers' arrival could not stop Kuyt from leaving.
"After six years I am ready for a new challenge," Kuyt said on the website of his management.
"(The club and supporters) I will always carry in my heart.
"The appointment of the new coach has nothing to do with it. But when Fenerbahce came to me and made their ambitions known, from the first moment I was sold. They give me the confidence that I lost."
Kuyt, who had a year to run on his Anfield contract, had been expected to leave Merseyside this summer after a season in which he scored just two Premier League goals.
He claimed last week he had attracted interest from a host of clubs across Europe.
He was strongly linked with Hamburg and a return to former club Feyenoord, although he ruled out the latter, saying they would not be able to afford his wages.
He has opted for a move to Istanbul, though, possibly attracted by the prospect of Champions League football next season.
Fener will enter the preliminary rounds of the competition after finishing runners-up to Galatasaray in the Super Lig.
Kuyt is currently preparing for Euro 2012 with Holland and a delegation from the Turkish club travelled to Amsterdam to seal the deal.
The striker said on Fener's official website: "It's a very happy and proud moment. I am very happy to be part of such a big club."
He revealed he was encouraged to make the move by former Feyenoord team-mate Pierre van Hooijdonk, who spent two seasons at the Istanbul club.
"Pierre said that Fenerbahce is a wonderful experience," Kuyt said.
Kuyt leaves Liverpool having won just one trophy in six seasons on Merseyside, the Carling Cup last season, when he scored in the penalty shoot-out win over Cardiff.
The Dutchman scored 71 goals in 285 games for the Reds.
He was never as prolific at Anfield as he was during his time in his homeland, although he was often played out wide.
Liverpool paid tribute to Kuyt's contribution, saying in a statement on their website: "Everyone at Liverpool Football Club would like to wish Dirk all the very best for the future and thank him for his contribution to the club."

If you can absolve yourself of past crimes by putting on some showbiz sparkle, 'fessing up while lookin' good, and then get on with your life with a smirk, dusting your hands with a 'job done' attitude as Lance seems intent on doing (and we've seen plenty of similarly high flying corporate mea culpas in recent years), does that not somehow reduce the implied seriousness of the fact that you treated the truth with such disregard?
Clayton M Christensen, one of the world's leading thinkers on innovation said: 'It's easier to hold to your principles 100% of the time. The boundary - your own personal moral line - is powerful if you don't cross it; if you have justified doing so once, there's nothing to stop you doing it again. Decide what you stand for and then stand for it all the time.'
It's a bit like the kids story, every time you cuss a fairy dies. Well, every time a high profile person gets away with stuff the rest of us would go to jail for, does the value of truth not die a little?
And if we end up in a society where truth is no longer important, our moral corruption leads us ... where....
Schroeder - I think the general world wide reaction to Oprah Part 1 shows that we are not at that stage yet.
From what I have seen only Pat Mcquaid has praised Lance's performance.... The rest of the world has seen through it.
But great post, though!

Posted on 10/24/2008 by RealityWanted in Wife Swap
"Melton/Dufrene" - - A woman whose family subsists on the Louisiana swamp swaps lives with a ballerina accustomed to cultured refinement, on "Wife Swap," FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Each week from across the country, two very different families take part in a two-week long challenge: The wives exchange husbands, children and lives (but not bedrooms) to discover just what it's like to live in another woman's shoes. It's a mind-blowing experiment that often ends up changing lives forever.
Brandi Dufrene (29) and husband Pookie (33) run airboat tours on the Bayou, while their three boys, Dalen (11), Gavin (8) and Zane (4), run wild in the swamp - - fishin', huntin' and froggin' - and treading a trail of mud into the Dufrene home. Brandi is fighting a losing battle as the only girl in a house of Cajun wildmen. The boys use her makeup as warpaint and leave muddy socks all around the yard. Husband Pookie is no help, egging his boys on to more mischief and leaving Brandi to cope with all the chores and discipline.
Brandi gets a taste of life outside the swamp when she travels to the home of the Melton family in California. Wife Monique (43) and husband Mike (49) are classically trained ballet dancers, and son Jake (12) has been following in their footsteps since the tender age of three. Monique and Mike are raising their son to appreciate the finer things in life, taking him to operas, art galleries and wine and cheese parties. As performers, all three Meltons take extreme care of their appearance, and both Mike and Monique always make sure Jake looks his best.
In the first week of the swap Brandi trades her swamp clothes for a dress, as she hosts a soirŽe for the Meltons' sophisticated wine and cheese crowd. Meanwhile Monique messes up her manicure as she pulls frogs out of the swamp and picks up the boys' muddy socks. In the second week, when the wives change the rules. Brandi holds a "mantervention" to toughen up Mike and Jake, while Monique introduces the wild Dufrene boys to ballet, opera, manners and chores.
When the couples are reunited, will Monique learn to let Jake be his own boy? Will Brandi be able to tame her ragin' Cajuns?
"Wife Swap" is an RDF USA production. It was created by Stephen Lambert and is executive-produced by Mike Gamson, Stef Wagstaffe and Michael Davies of Embassy Row ("Who Wants to be a Millionare"). Stephen Pettinger, Neil Regan, Julie Cooper and Will Nothacker are co-executive producers. "Wife Swap" is broadcast with Spanish subtitles via secondary closed captioning. This program carries a TV-PG,L parental guideline.

Re: TALBOT BROTHERS, ROTHERHITHE.
This is a photograph of my Great Great Grandfather John William Talbot, proprietor of Ransoms Wharf Bermondsey and in the family business of Talbot Brothers, shown in the robes of Worshipful Master of Master Shipwrights Company. Born in 1830, he was the son of Robert Talbot and grandson of the founder of Talbot Brothers, also Robert, who was born in 1778.
John William Talbot was married to Matilda Woodley in 1853. They had 10 children, a number of which died in infancy. I am descended from his eldest son, John James Woodley Talbot. John William took his own life in 1883 at the age of 52.

For a hate campaign, it's really flashy, well produced, and cool! As they say in the video, "Hell is the bitch-slap of god's hate".
Views: 326
Wow! That second documentary. Here's a family who goes on the internet stating they burned the Koran, now assuming they will be evicted from the USA after they win their SUpreme court case (which they did). So, they'll move to a muslim country (Jordan) to live in the "pink caves" and convert 144,000 Jews to their religion. After making surreal antisemitic videos. If only they had set a date, so we know and they know how truly strange they are.....
Is there a fatwah against these nutjobs? They did state they burned the Koran..... I would LOVE to see them protesting in Iraq, if not Jordan.
Still, I don't think they are quite in crisis. The adults at least appear to be thoroughly enjoying themselves.
I think he was exaggerating the "in crisis" stuff as well...And yeah,I think they do get a huge kick out of yanking everyone's collective chains. They are like the irritating troll that pops in on forums to say something stupid and disruptive just because he can.
personally,I'd love to see them leave and end up with egg on their collective faces. However,I feel if they leave some other copy cat cult will just take their place.
Me too.
God controls everything, and Jesus was killed by Jews, which was a requirement for him to die for everyone's sins. My brain hurts.
And why do they have such pretty children with such ugly thoughts? D: If I ran the world, they'd be sterilized so that they could not perpetuate this hate in future generations.
God made the majority of people to be junk to go to hell for all eternity, what an asshole.

(Health.com) -- People at risk for type 2 diabetes are also more likely to have brain abnormalities associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study from Japan. The study is the latest evidence of a diabetes-dementia link.
The researchers found that men and women in their 60s with higher-than-average levels of blood sugar (glucose) or insulin -- two signs of type 2 diabetes -- are between three and six times more likely to have certain protein deposits in their brains a decade or more later, according to the study, which appears in the journal Neurology.
The deposits, known as plaques, don't always lead to Alzheimer's disease, but they do raise the risk of the memory-robbing condition.
Health.com: How to age-proof your memory
If future research confirms that high glucose and insulin can in fact cause some cases of Alzheimer's, it may open the door to preventive drugs that target the insulin system, says William Thies, Ph.D., chief medical and scientific officer at the Alzheimer's Association, a nonprofit research and advocacy group.
"That's ultimately why people are so interested in this relationship," says Thies, who was not involved in the new research.
Alzheimer's disease affects as many as 5 million people in the U.S., and the cause is largely unknown (although genes play a role).
About 24 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, and about 90 percent of those have type 2. Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance, a condition in which the body loses its sensitivity to the hormone insulin.
The result is greater production of insulin -- as the body struggles to overcome resistance -- and high blood sugar, because the insulin that's produced can't move the blood sugar into the liver and muscles.
Health.com: Healthy snacks for people with (or without) diabetes
Obesity and a lack of exercise raise the risk of type 2 diabetes, and several studies have shown that people with type 2 are at increased risk of dementia and faster cognitive decline as they age.
In the study, researchers autopsied the brains of 135 Japanese people from a single town who died between 1998 and 2003. (The average age at death was just under 80.)
Ten to 15 years earlier, the researchers had given the study participants a glucose tolerance test, a common test for diabetes. They also measured other health factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and body mass index.
The individuals with the highest levels of blood glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance were more likely to have brain plaques, a distinguishing feature of Alzheimer's, compared with those with healthier levels.
Although only 15 percent of the subjects developed Alzheimer's-type dementia, 65 percent had brain plaques. Another marker of the disease, brain fiber tangles, did not appear to be linked to glucose or insulin.
Health.com: 5 types of insulin and how they work
The relationship was strongest among the 20 percent of participants who carried the ApoE4 gene variant, a known risk factor for Alzheimer's. Compared with those without the gene variant who had low glucose, the people who had both high glucose and the ApoE4 variant had a 38-fold higher risk of plaques, for instance.
It's far from certain that insulin resistance actually causes Alzheimer's, however. The study wasn't able to rule out the possibility that an unidentified factor may contribute independently to both brain plaques and insulin resistance.
Still, a link between insulin resistance and Alzheimer's is plausible. Insulin resistance causes insulin levels to rise, which may interfere with enzymes that slow down the production of the protein found in brain plaques, says Ian Murray, Ph.D., an assistant professor of neuroscience at the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, in College Station.
"The brakes are turned off," Murray says.
Health.com: 20 tasty diabetes-friendly recipes
The study had some important shortcomings. It was relatively small, for one, and the researchers did not track whether the participants were being treated for diabetes. And the rates of diabetes, insulin resistance, and obesity in the study were low overall, which makes comparisons to the U.S. difficult.
"It is likely that the levels [of insulin resistance] will be much higher in a Western society, where obesity and diabetes are more prevalent," Murray says.

How Vodka Goes from Grain to Bottle: Middle West Spirits in Columbus, Ohio
Who: Middle West Spirits micro-distillery
What: High-quality artisanal spirits made from local Ohio ingredients
Where: Columbus, Ohio
If you wanted to make a hand-crafted liquor with a "sense of place," then vodka, the most neutral and flavorless spirit, would be an odd place to start. Brady Konya and Ryan Lang, founders of Middle West Spirits, laugh as they acknowledge this irony. "Artisan vodka" almost seems like a contradiction in terms but somehow, they have created a vodka that does indeed have a sense of location in its environment, and their OYO Vodka is not actually a flavorless, neutral spirit at all — it's something very different.
Come walk through the Middle West Spirits micro-distillery in Columbus, Ohio, and see what it takes to distill a great bottle of vodka — and more.
One of the copper stacks of the Middle West Spirits still.
Brady Konya and Ryan Lang have backgrounds in entrepreneurship, and when they moved here for their significant others' jobs (both have partners in fashion — Columbus is home to the headquarters of Abercrombie and Fitch and The Limited) they met and became friends, and began thinking of a business they could start together. Lang's family has roots in old-timey moonshine and distilling, and they both became interested in trying to produce an artisan, hand-crafted spirit that would show a sense of place.
The recession was a blow in getting their venture off the ground, but they pressed on, and after a significant investment in equipment and renting a small industrial space on a side street near downtown Columbus, they had a working micro-distillery.
Their goal was to take Ohio winter wheat, and turn out a vodka that had something special, something purer and even richer than even the most expensive vodkas. "In Ohio there are already 77 neutral options on the market," says Konya. "We had an opportunity to make a vodka that actually tasted like something."
I am not a vodka drinker ordinarily, but I can say that I really enjoy Middle West's OYO (oh-WHY-oh) vodka, which is named after an archaic pronunciation of the word for the Ohio river valley. It's smooth, pure, and light, with a faint sweetness and a hint of vanilla. Some might argue that it's not technically vodka, as it isn't completely neutral, but I would argue back that, whatever you call it, I'd rather drink this than something completely flavorless.
So how do they do it, and how does the process work?
The back of the production space, with fermentation tanks and a huge reclaimed wood table.
The Distillery
The key thing to notice about Middle West is that they are a true distillery. Many "micro-distilleries" do not actually distill their alcohol from grain to bottle; they buy rough grain spirits and re-distill or simply filter them until they have a product they can sell. Middle West oversees the entire process, from mill to bottle.
They have a beautiful, custom-installed German Kothe pot-combination system of copper pots and a double tower of "bubble trays" that allow the alcohol vapor to shoot up and fall back down, trapping impurities along the way. (They were recently named one of the world's top 5 most high-tech distilleries by Popular Mechanics.)
It's a relatively simple process, but one with nearly infinite capacity for variations. Brady explained that in their distilling runs there were 40 distinct places affecting flavor of the final spirit, and over 40,000 potential permutations of equipment settings and ingredients.
OYO bottles ready to be filled.
How Vodka Is Made
1. The wheat is grown and milled
First, the wheat is milled down, and the bran (outer husk) is removed. For Middle West, this happens at one mill in northern Ohio that draws wheat from farms within an 80-mile radius. They only use soft red winter wheat, which contains about 30% more starch than other kinds of wheat. All the farms' product is blended at the mill so they have a consistent flavor profile.
2. The wheat is fermented in a mash
Wheat goes into big fermentation tanks at the back of the Middle West facility, where it is turned into a mash, a mix of water, yeast, and grain. It is warmed and then left to ferment for about 4 days. The starch turns to sugar, the sugar is eaten by the yeast, and alcohol results. When the yeast has consumed the sugar and turned it into alcohol, this wash is transferred into the pot, the first piece in their lovely distilling equipment.
3. The pot boils the wash and creates ethanol vapor
The creamy, rough liquid is brought to a boil. Since water and alcohol (ethanol) boil at different temperatures, the water boils after the alcohol, and condenses is allowed to fall back down into the pot, while the alcohol vapor is transferred into the distilling columns.
4. The ethanol condenses and drips down
The ethanol condenses and drips down as very high-proof liquid alcohol. From this point on there is a careful process of separately drawing off what they call the "heads", "hearts," and "tails." The first 5% or so (heads) of a distilling run is very high in undesirable chemical compounds. If you taste nail polish remover (acetone) in your booze, then it is probably at least partially heads. The middle of the run is the "hearts" or good stuff. The final bit, the "tails" is lower-proof. The spirits-makers mix these three carefully to get a good flavor balance, and leave out the harshest portions for a smooth sip. The vodka is filtered, blended and set aside in tanks until bottling.
5. The vodka is bottled, aged, or infused
Middle West bottles their vodka just a few bottles at a time, in big parties where they invite volunteers to come and help in return for a bottle and a t-shirt. But not all vodka goes straight into their (very pretty) glass bottles. Some is infused; they have a totally delicious Honey Vanilla Bean variety that I like very much, as well as a newer Stone Fruit vodka that makes an excellent cocktail. They are doing a barrel-aged whiskey now as well.
Altogether, this process (not counting infusing or aging) takes about 1 week, and they process about 600 liters on each run.
Ingredients for their Honey Vanilla Bean infused vodka.
The Business Plan
Konya and Lang are betting that there is a place in the Midwest for artisan spirits, and so far they seem to be proven right. There is actually another distillery in Columbus (Watershed, makers of one of my all-time favorite gins) and both companies are thriving. Even Ohio's draconian liquor laws, which are relics of Prohibition, aren't holding them back, although there is a challenging process each time they bring a new product to market. They have to go before the state liquor board and basically apply for approval, and ask them to stock it on the state's list of liquors that are sold in state.
Regardless, they are doing well, and they even recently announced plans to double the size of their production facility to meet demand. Their product is a premium one, with vodka retailing at over $30, and their whiskey at over $50, but their hand-crafted taste has found a market in Ohio and elsewhere.
Ryan's family's old moonshine still.
The Community
One refrain I kept hearing during my visit: Columbus is a wonderful place for startups like this one. "Ohio State [University] has been an amazing partner," they said. "The food science faculty there have been invaluable resources to us." It's not just the low costs of doing business; this is also a community that supports new businesses and vigorously supports and celebrates companies trying to do something original and special. There have been great partnerships too, with Jeni's ice creams, who designed a signature ice cream flavor around their whiskey.
It's really a beautiful thing to drink liquor produced locally, from wheat that grows not a hundred miles away from where I live. It's romantic — but importantly, it creates community. And, it tastes pretty splendid which, in the end, is what really matters.

HP Envy 14 Notebook at Dwell on Design
We hope some of you had an opportunity this weekend to make it out to Dwell on Design, the annual design and decor trade show here in Los Angeles where the large, small and inbetween players in the design world showcase their wares. Friday afternoon we were wined and dined (okay, more like given some tasty sandwiches, salad and soda) by sponsors HP and show host, Dwell, and presented with announcements for the Dwell Design Desk and Dwell's partnership with Heath Ceramics, before moving onto some design+technology offerings from HP.
Stacy Wolff, Director of Notebook Product Design, gives yours truly the details of the HP Envy 14 Notebook.
Stacy Wolff, HP's Director of Notebook Product Design, gave us a thorough walk-thru of the company's current design philosophy and specifically about one of their latest mobile units. The magnesium/aluminum alloy, laser etched HP Envy 14 was amongst their most prominent new units, a midsize laptop that has an undeniable resemblance to the MacBook at first...and second...glance. All the more so since the Envy was displayed in similar fashion to our own machine ontop of a Rain Design mStand in the tastefully decorated HP booth (the Charlie Harper prints on the walls of the staged living room were a nice touch, HP).
But first the specs:
- Intel Core i3-370M processor
- 4GB of RAM
- 320GB hard drive (7,200rpm)
- Option for 128GB or 256GB solid state drive
- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics
- 14.5-inch LED-backlit display
- HDMI port
- HP Beats Audio
- HP TrueVision HD webcam
- 8-cell lithium ion battery
The Envy 14 may be the first HP machine we'd actually imagine ourselves wanting to own for Windows-related daily operation, admittedly because of its close resemblance to a Cupertino design, but also because its tweener size which makes it an ideal home-to-travel option. The newest Envy has a sleek-thin 1.1" profile, weighs about 5.25 lbs. and exhibits a level of subtle design not always associated with the computing giant's full size laptops (though the Tord Boontje embellished HP Mini 110 Netbook is still amongst our favourite sub-notebook models as it nears the end of its run), coming off as a slightly swarthy, darker, and textured PC version of the MacBook.
The 14" edition seems well suited for users with shallower desk spaces, with a keyboard layout optimized for easy use, but with less overall depth between the front edge to the rear of the machine (those with large paws and higher performance requirements may do better to upgrade to the 17" sibling, which remarkably can drive 3 external screens all at once); the design offers a fair compromise between specs, screen size and travel weight. Details such as the placement of ports on both left and right side make the Envy 14" an easy to accommodate desktop presence.
The construction is not a unibody machine like the MacBook laptops, so seams between sections are visible, but the Envy is still extremely solid in feel (the texture of the laser etching gives it a bit more grip too), while being sold at a moderate price (starting at $999). The Envy's 14.5" Radiance Infinity LED display (1600x900) was specifically cited for its superiority in brightness and clarity compared to the competition, while the integrated fingerprint scanner adds onboard security to work alongside the 4-point trackpad. Accessing the innards like the hard drive and battery unit from underneath is simple, though we admit the section underneath reveals a visual disconnect with the refinement and beauty ontop, and we couldn't help wishing the laser etched surface continued below for continuity.
The overall package, down to the box it comes shipped in, is a premium machine catering to a customer looking for not just a tool, but something they can integrate into a lifestyle and into home decor. We're hopeful HP will further take the design-forward philosophy even further with each update (wish #1: HP branding on the machines are further reduced or completely rethought) and believe the Envy 14 may prove to a winner amongst those looking for
Look out for a hands-on follow up where we see if the HP Envy 14 works as well as it looks!

"On October 1 1982, Joel's sixth studio album, 52nd Street, was the first commercially released CD album... Which means CDs are 30-years-old today. It's worth noting here that 52nd Street wasn't a new album - it was launched initially in 1978, but it was selected for relaunch on the new digital audio disc, rolling out alongside the first CD player - the Sony CDP-101 - in Japan. But of course, the CD didn't spring up overnight - the road to launch started long before 1982." I'm still 100% CD when it comes to music. The act of physically holding a new album in your hands for the first time and gently placing the disk in the tray can't be matched by pressing a download button behind a computer.

It's the same thing all over again...

RE: It's the same thing all over again...
by zima on Mon 8th Oct 2012 01:08 in reply to "It's the same thing all over again..."
The situation is quite different now, WRT the core goal of audio systems...
See, LP is absolutely lacking when it comes to faithful sound reproduction. Cassettes are also severely lacking. There was no good reason to keep using them (except for other factors: like the portability, low price, and ruggedness of walkmans)
But with CD it's not so any more, it has more than good enough quality for human hearing apparatus - you cannot really improve on it. The primary task is complete. Remaining factors are of secondary nature in many cases (or even work against what consumers might want - like this feel of new physical CD in your hand, vs lack of that with digital downloads)

Tagged: Cole Hamels
General Musings-3/24/09
Some random thoughts I'd like to share.
- Curt Schilling announced his retirement early Monday morning, putting an end to his 20 year major league career. In the upcoming days, (weeks, months, years) they will be debate about whether Curt should be enshrined in Cooperstown. His career numbers (216 W, 3.46 ERA) are impressive, but some feel aren't enough to warrant Hall of Fame honors. But consider this, was there a better big game pitcher in this generation? I can't think of one.
- Japan won the WBC again, now we have to wait 4 more years before we don't care about the next WBC.
- And speaking of the WBC, how many players are returning to their respective teams injured?
- The Marlins are finally getting a ballpark to call their own. Maybe this will be the shot in for Marlins ownership to actually spend money on the team?
- Is anyone else worried about Cole Hamels? The Phillies say he'll be ready to start April 10th, but elbow problems are always scary.
- I think Manny Ramirez is going to put up ridiculous numbers this season.
- Hey Orioles!!! Bring Matt Wieters up to the big club already!!!!!
- As a die-hard White Sox fan, seeing Joe Crede in a Twins uniform almost made me vomit.
- I loved the Tim Lincecum video game commercial the first 100 times I saw it, now it's getting old.
- And for the Dustin Pedroria one, see above.
- I love the MLB network. It's good to see Harold Reynolds again.
- Speaking of the MLB network, I love the 30 clubs in 30 days program.
- Speaking of 30 clubs in 30 days, they put Wilbur Wood has the best starter in White Sox history? Over Billy Pierce, or Ted Lyons, or Red Faber, or Ed Walsh?
12 days until Opeining Day, so here's a random obscure #12 from White Sox history:
"Psycho" Steve lyons wore the #12 while playing for the South Siders in the late 80's early 90's. Steve has enjoyed a successful post-baseball career as a baseball anaylist and radio show host, but, sadly, is probably most remembered for having his pants fall down during a game.
Till next time!

Parents, look twice before you board your kids on the big yellow bus -- it could be carrying more than just students.
Texas Highway Patrol troopers made a massive pot bust north of Laredo this weekend, busting a fake school bus that didn't have any students on board -- but was toting 5,408 pounds of marijuana.
Troopers stopped a school bus marked to resemble a United Independent School District bus on U.S. 59. as it rumbled down the highway this weekend, expecting to find a busload of students.
Instead, they nabbed the humongous stash of marijuana, worth an estimated $1.7 million.
Unfortunately, the driver didn't stick around and ran away as troopers searched the bus.
The Department of Public Safety is pursuing several leads in the case.


text: The Most Innovative Houses of the Last Century\nAD showcases groundbreaking residences of the past century and their innovative architects\nFallingwater, Mill Run, Pennsylvania\\n\\nFrank Lloyd Wright\\n\\nArchitect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) conceived this remote Allegheny Mountain getaway in 1935 for Pittsburgh department-store magnate Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. and his wife, Liliane. Completed four years later and opened as a museum in 1964, the evocatively named Fallingwater is a dynamic three-story domestic sculpture, composed of intersecting sandstone, glass, and reinforced-concrete planes that spring out of a rock ledge and are graced with great terraces cantilevered over a natural waterfall. Surprisingly, that picturesque cataract is heard rather than seen, a counterintuitive stroke of brilliance that reinforces the impression that Fallingwater is at one with the primeval landscape rather than merely an object from which to view it. The dampness that resulted from the inventive positioning, however, led Kaufmann to wryly call the retreat "Rising Mildew."\nChemosphere, Los Angeles\\n\\nJohn Lautner\\n\\nOnce proclaimed "the most modern house built in the world," Chemosphere, completed in 1960 by architect John Lautner (1911–94), still stuns. A sprawling octagonal folly perched atop a stout concrete pylon like a model of a UFO, the structure—reached by way of a vertiginous funicular—is ringed by windows overlooking the urbanized San Fernando Valley on one side and a wild thicket of vegetation on the other. The unorthodox design resulted, in part, from the 45-degree slope of its challenging site. Given the house's space-age appearance, it comes as little surprise that the original owner, Leonard Malin, was an aerospace engineer. Its voyeuristic spans of glass led it to be used in Brian De Palma's 1984 movie Body Double and artist Richard Phillips's 2011 short film Sasha Grey. Chemosphere remains a private home, owned by book publisher Benedikt Taschen, who restored it with Escher GuneWardena Architecture.\nGwathmey Residence and Studio, Amagansett, New York\\n\\nCharles Gwathmey\\n\\nCharles Gwathmey (1938–2009), a founder of the Manhattan-based architecture firm Gwathmey Siegel Kaufman & Associates, made his name in 1965 by crafting an outwardly modest but culturally epochal three-bedroom summer residence for his parents, artists Rosalie and Robert Gwathmey. Joined one year later by a separate but complementary studio, the cedar-clad, 1,200-square-foot house is a graphic composition of basic geometric shapes—rather like a gathering of children's building blocks—that the architect and his then creative partner, Richard Henderson, protectively wrapped around a glass-fronted core for living. When illuminated at night, the house, now owned by Gwathmey's widow, Bette-Ann, resembles a Cubist lantern, golden light seeping through discreet glass planes, slits, and perforations.\nMaison à Bordeaux, Floirac, Gironde, France\\n\\nRem Koolhaas/OMA\\n\\nEquipped with an open hydraulic platform that rises through the core of a complex three-story building, the powerful, provocative Lemoine dwelling—completed in 1998 by architect Rem Koolhaas's OMA studio—is a startling construction that resulted from a moving précis: to build a home for a family whose father was a paraplegic. Newspaper magnate Jean-François Lemoine (who died in 2001) was adamant that the house commissioned by him and his wife, Hélène, address his disability as discreetly as possible, hence the idiosyncratic platform. Measuring about 11 and a half by ten feet wide, it served as Lemoine's office, a virtual command center that allowed wheelchair access to each level of the five-bedroom structure while passing along a towering wall that incorporates a library, wine cellar, and art display. The house's glass-wrapped main level and porthole windows on the third floor offer views of the nearby city of Bordeaux and the Garonne River. A documentary about the home, Koolhaas: HouseLife, was released in 2008 and was directed by Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine, the eldest daughter of the owner.\nThe Glass House, New Canaan, Connecticut\\n\\nPhilip Johnson\\n\\nAstonished by the lyrical transparency of Mies van der Rohe's 1946–51 glass-walled house for nephrologist Edith Farnsworth, the architect Philip Johnson (1906–2005) set to work creating his own transparent domicile. The resulting one-story residence, completed in 1949 and dubbed the Glass House, is an idyll of streamlined clarity—a 56-by-32-foot country house encased by crystalline walls set amid 47 acres of lush woodland. Though the living room and bedroom are in full view from outside, the bath is a sanctum sanctorum, contained within a floor-to-ceiling redbrick cylinder that the architect said was inspired by a memory from the 1930s: the chimneys that remained in a European village after it had been burned to the ground by the German army. Since 2007 the Glass House and many of the eccentric outbuildings Johnson added over the years have been open to the public.\nVilla Savoye, Poissy, France\\n\\nLe Corbusier/Pierre Jeanneret\\n\\nA sleek white box of reinforced concrete that, thanks to more than a dozen slender columns, seems to levitate above an area for parking, Villa Savoye is an ingenious highlight of the modernist movement in architecture. Now a museum, it was completed in 1930 to the designs of Le Corbusier (1887–1965) and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret (1896–1967), who had been hired by Paris-based insurance executive Pierre Savoye and his wife, Émilie. What they produced was a radical weekend getaway the sophisticated Savoyes dubbed Les Heures Claires, or the Bright Hours, and Le Corbusier called a "box in the air." The main living spaces are located on the second floor, surrounding a paved courtyard. Horizontal windows animate the minimalist façade like a glittering ribbon, and the flat roof—accessed by the last leg of a gentle ramp that begins at the base of the building—is equipped with a solarium bordered with an undulating windscreen and planting beds.\nMaison de Verre, Paris\\n\\nPierre Chareau/Bernard Bijvoët/Louis Dalbet\\n\\nFew houses in the French capital could have been more startling at the dawn of the modernist era than the astounding residence/office complex completed in 1932 for gynecologist Jean Dalsace and his family. Interior designer and cabinetmaker Pierre Chareau, the lead member of a team that included architect Bernard Bijvoet and metalsmith Louis Dalbet, carefully demolished and rebuilt the lower three floors of a four-story, 18th-century townhouse to create an L-shape magnum opus of impressive clinical chic. (The top-floor tenant had refused to move, hence the unusual construction program.) The exterior of the Dalsace commission, only the second of Chareau's building projects, is largely sheathed in hundreds of textured, translucent-glass blocks, each impressed with a single circle and locked into a grid of dark metal. Encasing the façades like a delicate membrane, the glass filters a filmy, aqueous light through the ingenious interior, its loftlike spaces threaded with five skeletal iron staircases, divided by elegant screens and floored with textured white rubber. Today Maison de Verre is home to architecture enthusiast and collector Robert M. Rubin and his wife, landscape designer Stéphane Samuel; they purchased the property in 2006, restored it, and now offer limited tours. (For an appointment, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 011-33-1-45-44-91-21.) A documentary about the house by Richard Copans and Stan Neumann can be seen on Vimeo.\nMalator, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Druidston, Pembrokeshire, Wales\\n\\nFuture Systems\\n\\nCommissioned from British architecture firm Future Systems by politician Bob Marshall-Andrews and his wife, Gill, and completed in 1996, the residence known as Malator is practically invisible, a cunning structure literally subsumed by its national-park site. Responding to strict prohibitions against visible construction, destruction of the landscape, and disruption of wildlife, husband-and-wife architects Jan Kaplický (who died in 2009) and Amanda Levete replaced the old military barrack that had been used as their clients' vacation getaway with a smaller two-bedroom retreat that is largely underground—a softly contoured, one-story wedge of glass, concrete, timber, and stainless steel tucked beneath an artificial hill. Only a small metal chimney poking through the turf gives away the location of what some observers call the Teletubby house. On the opposite side of the hill, however, concealed from the view of park visitors, a long, crescent-shaped glass wall takes in resplendent rocky views of St. Bride's Bay and the Atlantic Ocean beyond.\nBan Residence, Lake Yamanaka, Yamanashi, Japan\\n\\nShigeru Ban\\n\\nCardboard is one of civilization's humblest materials, but Tokyo-based Shigeru Ban Architects has been transforming it into intimate structures of compelling elegance, from a teahouse to a church to a library to an art gallery. Ban's paper pavilion of 1995 is a chic riff on his widely admired emergency housing for survivors of that same year's Kobe earthquake. Designed as his weekend home, it recalls an eco-conscious Barcelona Pavilion, composed of an S-shape coil made of thick vertical logs of recycled cardboard that is inserted into a glass box whose walls slide open to a surrounding terrace. The curves divide the interior into free-form, multifunctional living spaces.\nElektra House, 84a Ashfield Street, Whitechapel, London\\n\\nDavid Adjaye\\n\\nElektra House, completed in 2001, helped put British architect David Adjaye of Adjaye Associates on the cultural map. Designed as a home and studio for artists Elizabeth Wright and Giorgio Sadotti, the inexpensive three-bedroom structure is arrestingly moody, its windowless primary façade—a collage of resin-impregnated, timber-composite panels the color of rust—lending a dramatically thuggish presence to a modest neighborhood best known as the haunt of Jack the Ripper. The impassive envelope created by Adjaye, an AD100 honoree, is exceptionally sensitive to its urban context, however. Its scale, for instance, mirrors the surrounding 18th- and 19th-century architecture, the panels correspond in size and placement to neighboring windows, and the ruddy pigmentation echoes the redbrick exterior of a row of townhouses that stands opposite. These decisions ensure that the Wright-Sadotti residence is deferential yet galvanizing. And though the blank appearance of Elektra House seems to eschew contact with the outside world, its interiors are suffused with natural light; skylights illuminate the bedrooms, and the south elevation is made almost entirely of glass.

Razer spent the last 3 years engineering a mechanical keyboard that was optimized for gaming—one that had crisp, clicky, and fully-programmable keys that weren't fatiguing to trigger. That keyboard is the Razer BlackWidow.
As Razer tells it, most mechanical gaming keyboards are really just mechanical keyboards being advertised for gaming use, and as a result they often have stiff keys that are tiring to press.
The BlackWidow has been designed to trigger at the halfway point of the keypress, making things easy on gamers' fingers, and Razer boasts that it's the only mechanical keyboard with fully programmable keys with macro recording on-the-fly. It also sports 5 dedicated gaming buttons.
Razer will also offer a BlackWidow Ultimate, with an additional USB port, 3.5" audio and mic out, and individually backlit keys. They'll be available from Razerzone in September—the BlackWidow for $80.00, the Ultimate will be $130. [Razerzone]
