Alcoa (NYSE:AA) released its second quarter earnings on Monday, July 8. The company's reported revenues of $5.85 billion were slightly lower than Q2 2012 revenues of $5.83 billion, mostly due to a 4% drop in realized aluminum prices over the period. Including the impact of special items, it reported a net loss of $119 million. The after-tax special items, worth $195 million, include costs associated with restructuring and the resolution of a legacy legal matter. Excluding special items, the net income stood at $76 million, a sequential decline of 37% from $121 million. The decline was largely due to lower LME prices. [1]
The global rolled products as well as the engineered products and solutions segments reported higher year-over-year after tax operating income (ATOI) figures due to higher productivity and volumes. The alumina segment showed a 10% sequential rise in ATOI primarily due to positive trends in the Alumina Price Index (API) prices, favorable foreign exchange rate movements and savings related to productivity. As expected, sequential ATOI in the primary metals segment declined primarily due to lower aluminum prices and higher costs and entered negative territory. This also shows that the traditional correlation between alumina and aluminum prices is no longer valid. Earlier, alumina used to be priced as a percentage of market aluminum prices.
The company's management maintained its demand and growth projections made at the end of 2012.

Aluminum Prices And Inventory Levels
Aluminum prices on the London Metal Exchange, which are used as a benchmark by the company to determine its own prices have been dropping sharply since the latter part of February. Prices have dropped from $2,100/tonne at the beginning of the year to below $1,800/tonne and are still trending lower. Towards the end of June, LME prices touched a four-year low of $1,758/tonne. Alcoa's average realized price in the second quarter stood at $2,237/tonne, a 4% year-over-year decline. The prices are higher than LME prices because Alcoa charges a premium over the benchmark. [2]
The European debt crisis and slowing Chinese growth have contributed to the decline in aluminum demand and prices over the last few quarters. These factors remain unchanged so we expect weakness in prices to persist in the foreseeable future.
Persistently high inventory levels have kept a lid on aluminum prices for some time now, but Alcoa said that inventories have been coming down due to production curtailments and continued solid demand. Inventory in China declined by 99,000 tonnes over the quarter and off-exchange finance stocks in the U.S. declined by 159,000 tonnes. [3]
Performance Of Individual Business Segments
In the engineered products and solutions (EPS) division, ATOI rose sequentially from $173 million to $193 million due to innovations, productivity gains and higher sales volumes. The division reported a record adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.2%. Alcoa is upbeat about the aerospace market and maintained its 9-10% growth projection for 2013. The company touts a large backlog of 9,900 orders for planes with Boeing and Airbus which might take up to 8 years to clear. It signed orders worth $135 billion with these companies at the recently concluded Paris Air Show.
In the global rolled products (GRP) division, ATOI declined marginally on a sequential basis to $79 million from $81 million due to low metal prices. Most of the adverse impact was mitigated by strong demand from the aerospace, automotive, and packaging businesses.
In the upstream part of the business, Alcoa's alumina division gained handsomely due to higher Alumina Price Index (API) prices, favorable exchange rates and productivity related improvements. ATOI increased sequentially from $58 million to $64 million. The ATOI for the primary metals segment, however, stood at a negative $32 million compared to a positive $39 million in the previous quarter. The sequential decline was caused by lower LME prices and higher costs, including the maintenance costs related to power plant outages in Australia and the U.S. ((Alcoa Q2 2013 Earnings Presentation, Alcoa Website))
Alcoa has maintained its 2013 global aluminum demand growth figure at 7%.
In the U.S. automotive segment, the company has revised its auto production forecast upwards to 2-5% from the earlier projection of 0-4%. This has been done in view of continued strong passenger car sales due to which automakers are reducing planned shutdown of plants in summer. In Europe, however, Alcoa has maintained its forecast of a 2.5% decline. The growth forecast for China has been maintained at 7-10%.
In the heavy truck and trailer segment, Alcoa has revised its forecast upwards based on the segment's performance in the first six months. It still expects negative growth, but the figure has been revised to 9-13% from 15-19% previously. The growth rate in the industrial gas turbine segment has been maintained at 3-5%. Power plants in the U.S. are switching to natural gas from coal owing to cheap prices of natural gas thanks to the shale gas revolution. Even though rising gas prices have allowed coal to make a partial comeback, demand remains robust.
Overall, Alcoa has been shifting its business mix focus to value-added products over the last few years. The company's value-added business in the first half of the year constituted almost 60% of its revenues and accounted for 80% of the segment after-tax operating income. If this trend continues in future, it will boost margins and reduce earnings volatility due to aluminum price fluctuations.
We have a Trefis price estimate for Alcoa of $7, which will shortly be revised in view of the latest earnings results.

1 -- He's a total romantic
Step back ladies, Aaron's taken -- and way in love. He described his engagement to Vulture this way: "We were walking the streets [in Paris] alone with a bottle of Champagne in hand, and right before midnight we were sitting on a stoop in St. Germain, surrounded by lit-up Christmas trees. And we started dancing to some Edith Piaf ... and then I popped the question." Swoon.

In turn of the century London, ladies maid Jane Hoskins is wrongly accused of stealing diamond earrings from her shrewish employer, Lady Sybil Minden. As Inspector McGraw questions Jane, Nigel Duxbury reveals that he stole his sister-in-law's earrings as partial payment for the loss of his inheritance to his five-minute older twin brother, Lord Minden. Nigel negotiates a £200 severence for Jane, then invites her to an elegant restaurant. Jane reveals that she wants to use the money to live like a lady and marry well, and he lets her wear the earrings, which Minden gave to him. At dinner, Nigel is impressed by Jane's polished manners and ability to fleece fellow diner Sir Roland Epping out of one hundred pounds for a phony charity. Although Jane initially feels guilty, when Nigel proposes that they become partners, she agrees. In Monte Carlo, Jane, now calling herself Lady Loverly, easily tricks an elderly English colonel into losing money to Nigel at Chemin de fer . When the police later ask the pair to leave the country, Nigel offers to let Jane out of their agreement, but she stays with him. They eventually get to Shanghai, where the Chinese police become the latest to ask them to leave. Nigel proposes that they sail to San Francisco, where he plants stories about "Lady Loverly." Jane is flooded with invitations from social-climbing San Franciscans, but asks Mrs. Julia Wortin, a rough-hewn, but extremely wealthy widow, to tea. Julia, who is known for her generosity, gladly offers money to Jane's charity, then invites her for the weekend. Nigel, posing as "Hoskins," an unemployed butler, is hired by Julia on Jane's suggestion. A few days later, when Jane arrives at Julia's estate, Nigel tells her about Julia's necklace, which is kept under lock and key in the newly burglar-alarmed house. That night, Jane is attracted to Julia's neighbor, Juan Dinas. Julia thinks the flirtation is romantic, but Nigel is jealous and banker Tracy Collins, another houseguest, wants Jane for himself. Just before she goes to bed, Jane asks Julia for the key to her safe, for her diamond earrings, but does not steal the necklace. Next day, Juan takes Jane to his hacienda and proposes. Juan's grandmother, Princess Margarita, a niece of the King of Spain, is cordial, then secretly looks at a book on English nobility and finds that Jane is not who she seems. After she angrily tells Juan, Juan takes Jane home, but does not withdraw his proposal. Later, Jane tells Nigel that she is probably in love with Juan and wants to marry him. Nigel wishes her well, and agrees that they have grown too fond of Julia to steal her necklace, then passionately kisses Jane, prompting her to give him the earrings so he will have some money. When Nigel tells her that he pawned the real earrings a long time ago, Jane feels responsible for his situation and says she will leave with him in the morning. That night, Jane reconsiders and steals the necklace from Julia's bedroom safe. When Jane goes to the balcony, she sees Nigel and throws the necklace to him, but is observed by Juan and the groomsman Panchito, who detains Nigel while Juan climbs up to Jane's room. Juan confronts Jane about her deception and theft, which she freely admits. He tries to kiss her, but accidentally sets off the burglar alarm, which immediately summons Julia and her guests. Juan keeps quiet about the necklace and says that he entered Julia's room uninvited. Jane then tells Julia about stealing her necklace and apologizes, after which Nigel arrives, saying that he is the mastermind. He and Jane offer to leave immediately, but Collins wants to have them arrested until Nigel reveals that he has a proposal letter that Collins foolishly wrote to Jane naming Juan, Julia and the other houseguests as scoundrels. Not wanting to be made a public fool, Collins offers $15,000 for the letter, but Jane refuses and asks everyone to leave. A few moments later, Nigel and Juan both overhear Jane crying. The next morning, Jane is packed to leave, alone, but on Julia's insistence stays for breakfast. Nigel and Juan then arrive, saying that they have decided Jane should stay and marry Juan. She is irritated that they have not consulted her, and when Nigel gives her the earrings, saying that they are real, she angrily denounces him. As they argue, Juan leaves, knowing Jane and Nigel are in love. Nigel then promises to pay back all of their victims, even if he has to go to work. Just then, the sheriff arrives, accompanied by McGraw, who reveals that Epping is pressing charges against them, but Lord Minden has died, thus making Nigel the new lord. Jane gives Julia the earrings as a gift and she and Nigel leave with McGraw, who says that they won't need to be "away" for very long.

In the summer of 2014 the Rev. Kristen Yates began a discernment process that led her to begin an Anglican church plant in Redwood City, CA. In January of 2015, Kristen moved to Redwood City and provided pastoral leadership for Eucharist Church in San Francisco while The Rev. Ryan Jones was on sabbatical. While settling and assisting, Kristen began meeting with the initial households of Community of the Way for fellowship and prayer.
Community of the Way will have a focus on Spiritual Direction and will weave into its life and outreach ancient patterns of prayer and discipleship. The long term vision includes both a faith community and a center for spiritual formation.
In April Community of The Way will begin having informal worship together as they seek to invite others to be part of the new church community. Current efforts include the development of a website and getting to know and love Redwood City and surrounding communities.
Community of The Way is the fourth church plant that Kristen has been involved with and the first she has led. Her experiences in Seattle, Portland, and Boston have provided her with a breadth of experience on which to draw. Kristen holds degrees from William & Mary, American University, Wesley Theological Seminary, and Regent College.

ProGear....We Get Around
Our ProGear shirts are stylish and so is our family of clients who wear them. As such, we've been around the world and back again. If you have a photo you'd like to share, send us a copy to email@example.com
ProGear Helps Chris Litwin Achieve a Tricky—and Sticky—Test Shot
ProGear recently hooked up photographer Chris Litwin with equipment to achieve an impressive test shot—the exact moment of collision between two Coke bottles launched at one another.
To get this tough shot Litwin and company constructed a blacked-out chamber in which to launch the bottles and set up Broncolor Scoro Strobes—provided by ProGear—to freeze the action. The flash was actually triggered by the bottles passing through lasers!
Check out Litwin's fascinating setup and see the spectacular final shot in this brief behind-the-scenes video.
Do you have questions concerning a tricky shot of your own? ProGear can help with friendly, expert guidance, all the cutting-edge rental gear you need, and a host of other valuable resources to ensure you get the job done right.
I feel fortunate to have been asked by ProGear to test out a new product called, CameraRibbon. This is an item introduced at NAB this year. CameraRibbon will be rented and sold at ProGear.
I found it easy to fall in love with the simple design and ease of use. Most jobs I shoot have an interview set-up, usually on tripod; and a vérité portion, usually handheld. The CameraRibbon is the first handheld rig that I feel comfortable using. It is super lightweight and its S-contour design is very comfortable on the body.
CameraRibbon is a single piece of aircraft grade aluminum with a handle and removable counterweights. The camera is mounted at a slight angle on the rig, and the Ribbon crosses your body at about a 35-degree angle. This puts your viewfinder/screen in your line-of-site and also keeps the handle at a close distance to maximize stability without wearing out your body after long periods of use.
Depending on the kind of camera you're using, you may want to hold on to the handle with your right or left hand to operate with your other; whatever is natural for you. I've been shooting motion for many years and am used to operating with my left, so I hold the handle with my right. However, I got the rig into photographer Brian Kuhlmann's hands for a recent shoot and without instruction he did the opposite, operating with his right.
So far, I've tested the CameraRibbon with an HDSLR camera, although there are a few different versions of the Ribbon optimized for different types of cameras. I'd recommend checking out the CameraRibbon website or talking to ProGear for more details. PortaBrace has also made a bag specifically for this Rig.

text: THE LIMOUSINE RIDE - PART TWO CHAPTER ONE Kellie was glad her journey had come to an end. What she had planned to be a shopping visit, and a chance to be with David, had turned into a nightmare. At least her husband hadn't found out. Her heart missed a beat, those two men. She hoped they could be trusted. She keyed her pin at the main gate; absently pushing it once the numbers had been entered. But it stayed locked. She tried again, still locked. She pressed the buzzer and the maid answered. "I'll be down in a minute." "But…," Kellie protested, but the intercom went dead. The maid appeared at the gate holding an envelope. "Mrs Davis, Mr Davis told me to give this note to you." Kellie took the envelope and impatiently ripped it open, in it was a typed but unsigned note. It didn't go into much detail, it didn't need to. In dot-point form, it informed her that her access to the house had been cancelled, her store account cards had also been cancelled, her credit card limit was reduced to $5,000 and would be cancelled at the end of the month. There were some clothes packed for her and she was to keep her mobile phone switched on for some lawyers to contact her. Kellie re-read the note. Surely not? Those two bastards must have told my husband after all. She pressed the buzzer again. She asked the maid about her clothes. The maid told her that the gardener would bring the suitcase to her. Standing in the familiar street, suitcase at her feet and the note still in her hand, Kellie wondered what to do next. She rang for a taxi and pondered where to stay. A hotel, at least for a couple of days. She told the taxi driver to take her to a modest place that was not too far away. She checked in, hoping that the note was right about her credit card. Sure enough, she had been given just enough money to keep her going for a couple of weeks. Up in the room, she kicked off her shoes and thought about ringing David. She shuddered, she mustn't go into details, she couldn't go into details. "David, he's found out." "How?" "It's a long story, but I know he knows. And he's thrown me out." "Sorry Kellie. I was sure the car would be okay." "I did too. It's not your fault. All I've got is a little cash, a credit card and this phone." "That's too bad, but I'm not sure what I can." "What do you mean 'not sure'?" Kellie snapped. "Well, I'm married. Our affair, you know, has to be discreet." "Yeah, I know that. But surely you can help." "But how? Listen, you were his PA before you got married. You're only twenty-seven, it wouldn't be hard to start again." "Yeah, like I married the boss and now I'm getting divorced. How's that going to look on my resume?" she snapped. "I'm sorry Kellie, but I don't know what I can do." "Get fucked David," and she angrily pressed the red button. Men, hopeless the lot of them. As expected, the lawyers rang the next day and they wanted to meet with her that afternoon. Clearly her husband had decided to move quickly. No bad thing, better to get it over and move on. The meeting was as she had expected: three of them, one of her. They pointed out the pre-marriage agreement. She was not prepared to concede anything, not yet at least. She remembered getting advice on it before they got married. In the case of divorce arising from her adultery, she was to get next to nothing. Nonetheless she decided she needed help. She needed her own lawyer to help her bargain for a little more than next to nothing. By the end of the week, it was all over. The second meeting achieved a small victory. She could keep all her clothes, her jewellery, her personal effects and a lump sum settlement. That was their final offer. She thought it over, but she didn't have much choice. She had sold her furniture and put the money in her own bank account. That cash, plus the settlement should see her through. That evening, while dining alone, she thought about what David had said, work as a PA again. Sure, it was only eighteen months ago. If she used her maiden name, and her prior references, she might be okay. First thing Monday she rang some employment consultants. They sounded keen, but they always do. One wanted to meet her that afternoon. "Kellie," he said, smiling insincerely. Unconsciously she winced, how she hated employment agents. "So nice to see you," he continued. On Wednesday, she was dressing smartly for her first job interview. As irritating as his manner was, at least the agent was effective. When she rang for the taxi, she made a mental note to invest some of her cash in a new car. The interview went well. It was a medium sized company, and someone was leaving. The most important thing was her ability to start straight away. The man who interviewed her, Ian, seemed nice enough. No, he was quite charming. She thought that it might be a good place to work. She hoped she would get the job. The consultant rang her on her mobile. "Kellie," he said in a half-whisper that was supposed to sound arousing, "we have some good news." Again she winced, this man was so annoying. "Can you start on Monday?" Monday it was. With income, she was able to rent a place. She found a nice high-rise apartment block near the city centre, walking distance from her job. A nice one-bedroom furnished apartment was just what she wanted. Somewhere to call home. A new beginning. CHAPTER TWO It didn't take Kellie long to get back into the routine of work. In fact, after eighteen months of not much to do, it was nice to have the activity of a regular job again. In any case, her work revolved around scheduling meetings, managing appointments, fending off unwanteds and helping Ian's subordinates. Kellie noticed that Ian had that contented air of a happily married man. There were two photos on his sideboard, one of his wife Kim, and another of his two children: one boy and one girl. From time to time when he had to work later than usual, he always rang home and spent some time talking to his wife before resuming work. It was on one of these late nights that things started to change. The two of them were alone in the office working on a presentation. Ian was drafting ideas on his whiteboard while Kellie was entering the points as presentation slides on the laptop computer. Engrossed in her typing, she suddenly felt him standing behind her, looking at the slides. Then she felt his hands on her shoulders, massaging her shoulders and neck. It was comforting. Comfortable, sensual but not seductive. She turned to look him in the eyes and he bent forward, kissed her. He gently brushed her cheek with a finger. All hell broke loose! The door flew open and the cleaner barged in, turning on a noisy vacuum cleaner strapped to his back. Ian pulled away, turning red. Above the cacophony he apologised most profusely. Kellie was confused. He seemed such a contented man, and yet this? And she enjoyed it, she had been so buried in work and home for the last few months that she missed being sensual. She dismissed it as an aberration on his part, sure that it wouldn't happen again. It couldn't happen again. CHAPTER THREE The powerpoint slides they were for a conference where Ian had been invited to speak. It was an honour to him personally, but it was also important for the company for him to make a good impression with his talk. Kellie was to accompany him, to make sure that the notes of his speech were made available, as well as the marketing material from their company. Up until last night, Kellie had no qualms about their business trip, even though they would be away together for three days in a luxury island resort. Now she wasn't so sure. She didn't want to fuck up his marriage and she certainly didn't want to fuck up her job. She thought about it long and hard in the bath that night. The best thing to do would be to raise the issue with him the next day, just so she knew where she stood. As she relaxed in bed, she was sure that this was the right move. If someone else had to do her job at the conference, then so be it. After the cleaners noisy interruption the evening before, the presentation hadn't been finished. First thing in the morning, Kellie interrupted Ian to remind him about the slides. He asked her to close the door and again he apologised. He said he didn't know what came over him and he promised never to do anything like that again. Kellie felt relieved, and also managed to book a couple of hours of his time to finalise things. The flight to the resort was uneventful enough, and once they arrived, Kellie realised that she wouldn't be crossing paths with her boss. The itinerary was very full, presentations from morning to night would keep him out of the way, and ensure she would be bored witless. The two evenings were also booked. A boat cruise and meal one day, and a bus trip to a local winery for a meal the next. Ian's presentation was in the morning of the third day, which kept Kellie occupied for a couple of hours. It seemed to go well, and she was busy handing out copies of his notes and the other material. The last afternoon dragged, with the conference eventually finishing early on Friday so that people could fly home, except for those waiting for a direct flight to Melbourne early the next morning. That evening was very quiet, the resort had few holiday makers, and even fewer guests left from the conference. Ian rang her room and suggested they dine together in the resort restaurant. Kellie thought it made sense and they agreed on meeting at seven. Casual conversations over dinner. Small talk, nothing in particular. The talk drifts around to work. "I really appreciate your work. The presentation was very professional," Ian said. "Thanks," Kellie replied, "but it's your ideas". "You really brighten up the office. It has been a wonderful the last couple of months working with you." "It's been wonderful for me too." "Your company tonight makes me not want to go home." He reached out and took her hand . "I realise what a sham my home life is." "I don't understand." "There's so much missing, it's been months." Kellie pulled her hand away. She knew some women, once they got married… Dangerous territory. She tried to think of something to reassure him. "Perhaps if you and your wife went away together," Kellie suggested. "Alone. A romantic holiday. Could someone look after your kids?" "No, that would be worse," Ian replied. "Holidays are supposed to be happy. Who wants to be alone with a clingy sexless woman?" "Surely, just the two of you. There must be some chance." "There'd be no chance." Kellie thought of her own failed marriage. Sex isn't the only thing in a relationship, but bad sex or no sex, puts things under an intolerable strain. "Ian. I don't know what to say." "That's alright," he replied. "I shouldn't have burdened you. It's just you are such good company and I really needed someone to talk to." Fortunately their main course arrived and the food interrupted conversation for a while. While she walked back to her room, she thought of her boss. The pictures in his office, the phone calls home. He was looking for love with sex, like all men. She felt sorry for him, she really did.

The owners could not be reached for comment.
Joe Feulner told The Sun for an Oct. 9 article that he planned to close for the summer next year because of slow business following the spring semester and the high cost of cooling the restaurant.
Bella Donna's opened in March 2012.
* Zoes Kitchen: Two new food businesses have announced plans to open in newly redeveloped locations in Butler Plaza.
Zoes Kitchen, a Mediterranean and Southern fast-casual restaurant, is coming to Butler Plaza with plans to open Jan. 9, 2014, according to Butler Enterprises.
The menu will include kabobs, pitas, sandwiches and salads, with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options.
The Birmingham, Ala.-based business has 98 locations in 15 states, including four in Florida. The Gainesville location will offer catering and include indoor and outdoor patio seating.

The local franchise is owned by Nicole and Eric Rollins of Gainesville.
Warehouse Restaurant and Lounge: The Warehouse Restaurant and Lounge stopped serving lunch in July.
"We have tried it for three years and the lunch crowd is not there," said owner Richard Yoh.
He said the restaurant had good lunchtime support from the University of Florida and downtown workers, but it was not consistent, adding that their cooked-to-order food didn't always work for people with a one-hour lunch break.
The Warehouse has new management and a new dinner menu with more items, including mahi mahi, chicken marsala, chicken piccata and strip steaks, Yoh said.
* Zaxby's: The new Zaxby's in Alachua opened Oct. 7, about a week later than previously announced.

NACOGDOCHES, Texas — Head coach Tony Amato announced Thursday the addition of assistant coach Paul Nagy to the Stephen F. Austin soccer staff. Nagy's hiring is Amato's first and leaves one opening on the first-year head coach's staff.
"I am very excited to have Paul join our staff here at SFA," Amato said. "His professional playing and collegiate coaching experience will be utilized to teach all aspects of the game. Paul's drive to be successful will carry over to our players and make an immediate impact in our program."
Nagy comes to SFA following a two-year stint as an assistant coach with the men's soccer program at Rollins College. During his time at Rollins, Nagy served as the recruiting coordinator and helped guide the Tars to a 24-13-1 record. Rollins won the Sunshine State Conference championship in 2009.
Prior to his stop at Rollins, Nagy was an assistant with the men's program at Central Florida from 2005 through 2007. At UCF, he coached goalkeepers for two seasons before earning a promotion to the top assistant's spot and adding recruiting coordinator to his title.
The former 'keeper served as a volunteer goalkeepers coach at TCU, Saint Louis and LeMoyne College before accepting his position with Central Florida. Additionally, he is the director of coaching for Nagy Goalkeeping School and Camps. Since 2003, Nagy has served as director of goalkeeping for three difference club programs — Syracuse Football Club from 2003-05, Seminole Soccer Club in 2005, and Central Florida United from 2006 to the present.
As a player, Nagy competed professionally for the Orlando Sharks, Syracuse Salty Dogs, Dallas Burn and Hershey Wildcats. He was a four-year letterman on the Saint Louis men's team from 1997-2000, earning First-Team All-Conference USA and All-Midwest Regional honors in '99. He played for a Billikens team that reached the Final Four in 1997.
Nagy is a native of Grapevine, Texas. He obtained a bachelor's degree in studio art with emphasis on graphic design from Saint Louis, graduating with honors in 2002.

Milton Shulman
Drusilla Beyfus
Alexandra Shulman CBE (born 13 November 1957[1][2]), is a British journalist. She is a former editor-in-chief of the British edition of Vogue, and also the longest serving editor in the history of British Vogue. She took the helm of Vogue in 1992, presiding over a circulation increase to 200,000 and a higher profile for the publication. Shulman is one of the country's most oft-quoted voices on fashion trends. In addition to her work with Vogue, Shulman has written columns for The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail, as well as published a novel.
Shulman is eldest of three children by film and author critic Milton Shulman and writer Drusilla Beyfus, who herself was a contributor to Vogue, among other publications.[3] Shulman began working at Condé Nast – Vogue's publisher – upon joining Tatler in 1982, under the editorship first of Tina Brown and later Mark Boxer.[4]
Early life[edit]
Alexandra Shulman was born in 1957, the daughter of the critic Milton Shulman and the writer Drusilla Beyfus. She has two siblings, Nicola and Jason. Her sister Nicola married Constantine Phipps (later, the 5th Marquess of Normanby) in 1990 and has written a biography of Tudor poet Sir Thomas Wyatt.[5] Her younger brother Jason was formerly an art director for glossy magazines but is now a sculptor and photographer.[6][5]
Whilst Alexandra was growing up, the Shulman family lived in Belgravia and she attended St Paul's Girls' School.[7] The thought of following her parents' career paths did not appeal to Shulman. Instead, she expressed an interest in becoming a hairdresser,[3] or working in the music industry, saying: "Nobody believes me when I say it's not what I thought I was going to do. But my heroines were singers like Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith or Carly Simon. I didn't think about whether they wore Chanel or not".[8]
Shulman studied social anthropology at the University of Sussex.[3] In 1980, she graduated, receiving a 2:2, later recalling herself being "in tears".[9] In the following months, she became an assistant at an independent record label, enabling her to move out of her parents' flat.[9] However, she was sacked after a short time. She then took on a role in the artists and repertoire department of Arista Records which also did not last very long.[8] After this foray into the music business, she became a secretary at the now-closed Over 21 magazine.[8]
Shulman began her fashion journalism career in 1982 at The Tatler, working subsequently for The Sunday Telegraph, Vogue and the British edition of GQ, where she became editor in 1990.
As Shulman took on the role as editor-in-chief of Vogue in 1992, some speculated that she was not experienced enough for the role. Furthermore, others commented that her personal appearance did not conform to previous Vogue editors; as The New York Times noted: "The British press has made much of the fact that when it comes to personal wardrobe, Ms. Schulman [sic] could learn a thing or two from Ms. Tilberis's trademark Chanel, and that she could also become better acquainted with a hairbrush".[10] It has been noted that it is still remarked upon that she doesn't "look" like an editor of Vogue.[11]
Her tenure at Vogue was marked with various iconic issues of the magazine. Her December 1999 "Millennium Issue", possessing a simplistic page layout and a reflective, mirror-like cover – giving the illusion that its reader was on the front cover – became the highest selling issue of Vogue, with circulation of 241,001, including a newsstand sale of 142,399.[12] A 1997 cover in memoriam of Diana, Princess of Wales was included in a poll deciding the UK's best ever magazine cover. As The Guardian noted, "Vogue stood out with a simple bare cover using a Patrick Demarchelier photograph of Diana in a red dress".[13] The "Gold Issue," a December 2000 edition with Kate Moss on the cover in silhouette, also became a well-known cover.[14]
—Shulman, discussing her stance on copy approval.[15]
As the editor of Vogue, Shulman made various decisions on the magazine's stance. She stated that, "we never publish diets. We've never published things on cosmetic surgery",[11] adding that she does not want to prescribe as specific way a woman should look to the reader. She also refuses to put celebrities on the cover if they demand copy approval and picture approval, saying "I just find that so offensive".[15]
The magazine drew criticism in the early 1990s for photos of a Waifish Kate Moss that were dubbed "heroin chic", part of a larger ongoing debate over whether fashion magazines present an unhealthy image for girls and contribute to the anorexia problem. In 1997, the watchmaker Omega pulled an ad campaign from Vogue over this issue. Shulman dismissed these concerns in a 1998 interview with the PBS public affairs television programme Frontline, stating: "Not many people have actually said to me that they have looked at my magazine and decided to become anorexic."[16]
She has become more sensitive to the issue in recent years, acknowledging that anorexia is a "huge problem" in a January 2005 interview with The Scotsman: "I really wish that models were a bit bigger because then I wouldn't have to deal with this the whole time. There is pressure on them to stay thin, and I'm always talking to the designers about it, asking why they can't just be a bit closer to a real woman's physique in terms of their ideal, but they're not going to do it. Clothes look better to all of our eyes on people who are thinner".[17] In 2009, Shulman spoke out over the sample sizes leading designers were producing – some were so small they restricted Vogue using the models they wished in the magazine, resulting in some models being airbrushed to look bigger. Shulman wrote to designers to draw their attention to the situation calling for larger sized samples to be produced.[18]
Contrary to expectations, Shulman describes her own life as work-dominated and not particularly glamorous. In an October 2004 newspaper column on her Telegraph portrait, she said:
"Leaving aside the obvious but unlikely criteria of beautiful and thin, I realised that there was no look that was achievable which was going to make me happy. In my mind I am a free spirit of about 25 wafting around in second-hand cocktail dresses; in reality I am a 47-year-old businesswoman and journalist. The pictures unfortunately, tell the whole story."[19]
She was a regular columnist for The Daily Telegraph newspaper, but started writing a column for the Daily Mail in 2006, which ran until 2009, when she was replaced by Liz Jones.[20] Shulman's first novel, Can We Still Be Friends?, was published by Fig Tree in 2012.[21]
In 2010, Shulman was awarded an Honorary Master of Arts degree from the University for the Creative Arts.[22]
In February 2013, she was assessed as one of the 100 most powerful women in the United Kingdom by Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4.[23]
Alexandra Shulman was interviewed by Kirsty Young on Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 in June 2013.
On 25 January 2017, approaching 25 years as editor-in-chief, it was announced that she was leaving British Vogue in June 2017. Shulman stated: "last autumn I realised that I very much wanted to experience a different life and look forward to a future separate to Vogue".[24]
On 2018 she launched her personal website https://www.alexandrashulman.com/
Personal life[edit]
She has a son, Samuel (born 6 April 1995), by the writer Paul Spike, whom she married on 26 May 1994.
Shulman was appointed OBE in 2004. She was twice named "Editors' Editor of the Year" by the British Society of Magazine Editors, in 2004 and 2017, and was formerly a trustee of the National Portrait Gallery.

In his work in the Kentucky school system, Dr. Holliday can speak to the type of systemic change and support required to create impactful advances in student learning and educator effectiveness.
Salt Lake City (PRWEB) August 19, 2014
School Improvement Network, the leader in educator effectiveness resources, today announced that Kentucky Commissioner of Education Terry Holliday will keynote at the 2014 School Improvement Innovation Summit about creating systemic change to support educator effectiveness and increase student learning.
"Helping 100 percent of educators become as effective as possible and 100 percent of students master the skills they need to be college and career ready requires systemic support, not just classroom-level plans," said Chet D. Linton, CEO and president of School Improvement Network. "In his work in the Kentucky school system, Dr. Holliday can speak to the type of systemic change and support required to create impactful advances in student learning and educator effectiveness and how educators and administrators in any school or system can be a part of such meaningful systemic changes."
Dr. Holliday was selected as Kentucky's Commissioner of Education in July 2009. Prior to that position, he served as superintendent of the Iredell-Statesville school district from 2002-2009, during which time the district received the 2008 Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award.

Heimbronnerhof (Bretten, Baden-Württemberg, Germany)
Heimbronnerhof (Haimbrunn), an estate in the Bretten district of Baden, Germany, owned by the Counts Douglas. After 1822 the estate was leased to Mennonites, formerly to the Funck and Horsch families, after 1916 to the Fellmann family. From about 1858 to 1916 biweekly religious services were held at the Heimbronnerhof, since during this period the families were members of the Hahnische Mennoniten (see Baden).

Romantic couples gifts
Info Guru, Catalogs.com
Rate This Article:
Thank You For Voting
Make the romantic gift extra specialGifts between couples are very special, both to give and receive. Special gifts like art, personalized photo frames, coffee mugs or intimate wear can leave lasting impressions that create smiles. Giving romantic couples gifts show the other person that you're really thinking of them and you want to give them something special that is just for them. It shows that the person took the time to choose something that perhaps fits the individual's personality very well, or that they're giving them something that maybe they've always wanted or hinted towards.
I like getting romantic couples gifts that I can display and that are unique or unusual. Things on display for me can include my favorite style coffee mug, a blouse with my initials on the sleeve, a piece of jewelry or a watch. A romantic gift is different for each person's tastes so what's romantic for one person may be not so romantic for another.
If it's a romantic gift, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's an "Adults Only" present. It simply means that the gift makes you think of that person when you look at it. Small items like the ones I mentioned above can be romantic and personalized. The intimacy in the gift is what makes it special. It's something that only you and the other person holds dear. It can make you think of them or a special time you've had together.
Make it Personal
For instance, I received two romantic couples from my husband over fifteen years ago, and I still have them today. I have always been a writer and a note-taking kind of person. He knew that about me and gave me something very special. He purchased a fine instrument writing set with a pen and pencil AND a monogrammed case with my initials to store them both in. The case is now a little worn and weathered, but I still have it and the pen and pencil set. I use it every single day while I'm working and every time I write with it, I think of him. It was a very romantic gesture and it's still special to me over fifteen years later.
On the other hand, there are certain romantic couples gifts that do not belong on display and are just for the couples only. These would be the "eyes only adult gifts" that you give. It's likely that no one else will see these gifts and they're for the couple's eyes only. So whether you're giving a gift to your significant other or you're giving a gift to a beautiful couple, here is a list of ideas that can help you decide:
- Matching (or single) spa robes. Make these super-nice by selecting fine material for the robe and having them monogrammed if possible. There is nothing as sensual as a plush spa robe or kimono for lounging and relaxing.
- Shirts or blouses. The romanticism in giving a shirt or blouse is relative. Perhaps the shirt has his initials monogrammed on the cuff. Maybe he bought his wife her favorite style or designer blouse in four different colors. It all depends on what the couple likes and what they think is special.
- Intimate wear. Yes, that means intimate or private wear such as silk boxers, smoking jackets, lingerie or slippers. Anything that is sexy and romantic for couples would be appropriate and is usually not on display.
- Fondue sets. This is a very romantic item for couples. Sharing is the idea with the fondue set and the couple can have A LOT of fun sharing and enjoying it. Another idea would be anything that is personalized like cookie jars, serving bowls, etc. that can be used for home entertaining.
- Pillowcases. They are usually silk or satin and can be engraved with the couple's names or a particular date. They're usually not for use, but for decoration and display.
- Frames. Picture frames are very popular romantic couples gifts and can be engraved, personalized or even customized for the couple.
I don't think you can ever go wrong with jewelry, whether it's for the man or the woman. They both like bracelets, rings and pendants. A bracelet is a gift that can be given either between a couple or to a couple. Things like rings and necklaces are usually given between couples and are very special.
Whatever gifts are considered romantic couples gifts will always be something that is special for the two of them. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate, expensive or too complicated. It just has to be something that creates memories and something they can enjoy and get full use from. And not to mention, if it's from the person's heart, it will definitely be something special.

Keanu Reeves sci-fi remake "The Day the Earth Stood Still" delivered a much needed victory for 20th Century Fox in grossing an estimated $31 million from 3,560 runs to easily win the domestic box office race.
Overseas, the special-effects actioner grossed an estimated $39 million for a worldwide total of $70 million in the pic's first three days. "Earth" — scoring one of the bigger December openings for a nonfamily title or nonsequel — cost $80 million to produce, according to Fox.
Stateside, "Earth" didn't have much competition. Overture Films' "Nothing Like the Holidays" debuted to an estimated $3.5 million from 1,671 locations to come in No. 7, according to Rentrak. Overture minimized its risk by keeping the production budget under $10 million.
Freestyle's animated toon "Delgo" fell flat in its bow, opening outside the top 10 chart and grossing $915,840 from 2,160 runs for a per-screen average of just $424.
The domestic box office was off by as much as 44% over the same weekend last year, when Warner Bros.' Will Smith starrer "I Am Legend" opened to $77.2 million and Fox's "Alvin and the Chipmunks," $44.3 million. "Legend's" bow remains the best ever for a December weekend.
Although overall ticket receipts were down dramatically over the weekend, the domestic box office continues to run slightly ahead of last year's record-breaking haul, reinforcing the theory that the film biz is recession-proof.
There was strength across the marketplace beyond Fox's "Earth." Many holdovers saw slim declines, led by Warner Bros./New Line comedy "Four Christmases," which dipped only 21% in its third sesh to an estimated $13.3 million from 3,540 runs for a cume of $88 million. Laffer came in No. 2.
Summit Entertainment's "Twilight" came close to eclipsing the domestic gross of "Sex and the City" in earning an estimated $8 million in its fourth frame from 3,649 runs for a cume of $150.1 million. Film, landing at No. 3, dipped 39%.
Coming in No. 4, Disney's 3-D toon "Bolt" fell just 23% in grossing an estimated $7.5 million from 3,133 runs for a cume of $89 million in its fourth weekend.
Baz Luhrmann's Nicole Kidman-Hugh Jackman epic "Australia" stayed in the top five, dipping 39% in its third weekend to an estimated $4.3 million from 2,703 theaters for a cume of $38 million. So far, film hasn't received the awards attention Fox hoped it would, including being shut out in Golden Globe noms. Film will need to do well overseas — where it is rolling out slowly — for Fox to recoup its investment.
Fox has been the odd man out this year in terms of box office performance. "Earth" is the studio's biggest opening since "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who," which opened to $45 million in the spring.
Sci-fi pics generally see declines from Friday to Saturday, since fans turn out on the first day. "Earth" was the exception in notching a 2% uptick. Last year, "Legend" declined 4% from Friday to Saturday.
"Audiences were moved to see the Earth stand still. We're in orbit over this opening. To gross $70 million worldwide on a film that cost $80 million is fantastic," said Fox senior VP of distribution Chris Aronson.
The aud was fairly evenly split, evidence that the studio's marketing push to entice females in addition to men paid off. Of the aud, 55% were male, while 51% were over the age of 25.
Imax runs of "Earth" paid off big time for both Imax and Fox. Playing on only 123 Imax screens, receipts from those runs repped 12.3% of the total gross.
"It shows that despite the economic downturn, moviegoers are willing to spend a few extra dollars to see a movie in Imax," said Imax's Greg Foster.
"Earth," directed by Scott Derrickson, also stars Jennifer Connelly, Jaden Smith (Will's son), Kathy Bates, John Cleese and Jon Hamm.
Remakes of classic cult pics can be risky business. "Earth" is an update of Robert Wise's 1951 black-and-white Cold War film, regarded by many as an all-time favorite sci-film.
In the redo, the storyline revolves around global warming.
Fox, which boasts a number of high-profile 2009 titles, releases its final movie of this year, Jennifer Aniston-Owen Wilson starrer "Marley and Me," on Christmas Day.
While "Earth" got to enjoy a wide-open playing field, the final weeks of the year are another matter.
Sony's Smith drama "Seven Pounds" and Warner's Jim Carrey comedy "Yes Man" both open Friday. There are also a number of specialty films expanding, or opening.

It's time again to personify our hometown with respect to the national lists she's made. And, as always, she's none too easy to define: a woman who imbibes a little too often and never eats her greens, but who loves sports and adventure enough to stay svelte. She loves dogs, but her shelters are shabby and overworked. She lives in a crime-ridden region but loves to get out and attend events. She has a good job but can't cough up cash for charity.
Sound familiar? Maybe you know her. Maybe you are her. Or maybe you disagree entirely. Your job sucks, you can't afford to go out and you eat locally grown produce every day. These are lists compiled by outsiders, after all—big national magazines that find it all too easy to order things as complex and changing as cities, a collection of people, into Top 10s or Top 100s.
It's an exercise in generalizations, to be sure, but fun to peruse nonetheless. Here she is, Burque as seen by the rest of the country in all her contradictions.
Loves Dogs
Though Lady Burque isn't so hot at providing good conditions for her plentiful strays, she probably has some kind of four-legged friend on a leash. She can take her dog with her most places in the city, says MSNBC, and that's why the Burqueña rose to third on the list of the Top 5 Cities for Dogs. And she's in good company: New Mexico comes in at No. 2 on the list of dog-ownership rates.
Eats Badly but Stays in Shape
You probably won't spot her chomping on fruits and vegetables any time soon, and she drinks too much, says Men's Fitness, but the magazine's report card ranked her the third fittest in the nation. Her topography got an A-. Her participation in sports got another A grade. And she's able to attend one of many gyms wearing all the right gear bought from a variety of sports stores, too. In particular, you'll find her shooting hoops, playing tennis, using an abdominal machine, cheerleading, cross-country skiing, day hiking, swimming, doing aerobics or pedaling a stationary cycle.
Lives in a Dangerous Area
Let's hope Burque bones up on her self-defense and carries a bottle of Mace around. According to Congressional Quarterly,she's living in the third most dangerous state in the nation, second only to Nevada and Louisiana. High rates of burglary, assault and rape land her area on the bad list.
Has Plans for Tonight
Let no one say there's nothing for our Burqueña to do. A list by Eventful.com of the 25 most happening places in the United States put the Duchess City at No. 20, right behind Las Vegas, Nev., and above Baltimore, Md. Museums, festivals, and strong scenes for music, theater and arts make for plenty of reasons to leave the house.
Is Cheap to Visit
It's expensive to go on vacation right now, but visiting your old pal Burque is easy on the wallet. AAA noted a family of two adults and two children could expect to pay $165 per day in food and lodging. Not too shabby.
Holds a Decent Job
Forbes places the Duchess City at No. 8 in the Top 10 cities for jobs. How'd she make the list? She did it with a low unemployment rate, good job and income growth, and a strong median household income compared with a relatively low cost of living. The 100 largest metropolitan areas as defined by the U.S. Census were measured.
Clings to her Cash
Out of 100 cities gauged for charitable impulses, this skinflint woman came in 89th with a D, according to Men's Health. Considered in the ranking: IRS data on individual donations, the number of corporate charitable foundations, how many people volunteer with AmeriCorps and the Urban Institute's donations per capita rankings. This comes after Turbo Tax named Albuquerque No. 3 on its tightwad list last year.
Seeks Adventure
Burque loves adrenaline. She appeared on the National Geographic list of 50 adventure towns. Called a "biking mecca" by the magazine, she was noted for the cycling paths along the Bosque and the 52-mile Turquoise Trail beyond the city limits.

Ok, so I'm in my weight class and I'm doing bench press. I have on a fair amount of weight and my arms fail me. The weight drops on my throat and I am sitting there choking for about ten seconds before my lifting partner finally figures out what is going on. He pulls the weight off me and I almost kill him for not paying attention. That was my most recent near death experience. Anyone else want to share a story?
Been clipped by a car when i was on my bike and flew into the woods. That wasnt fun at all.Almost had a tree fall on me.A firework nearly exploded infront of my face.Those are my big three.
I stay inside and stay safe. I'm extremely cautious.I've never had an injury in my life.
