China's fashion and style will break out in the next ten years
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 30, 2013
A highly anticipated inaugural Phoenix Fashion Awards drew throngs of screaming fans and fashionistas to watch movie stars, super models and designers walking down the red carpet at Beijing's tony Park Hyatt Hotel on December 19, 2012. Chiu-Ti Jansen, the Publisher of YUE Magazine, attended the event sponsored by the Phoenix Fashion Newwork (fashion.ifeng.com), an affiliate of Phoenix TV, along with China's fashion world luminaries including international actress Cecilia Cheung, supermodel Qin Shupei, pop singer and actor Wu Qilong, international piano sensation Lang Lang, designers Chen Shiying and Cindy Chao and TV host/fashion publisher Hong Huang, among others.
This year's Phoenix Fashion Awards took as its point of departure the theme of "Chinese Articulation, Fashion Outlook," with celebrities talking about what fashion meant to them individually and personally during their red carpet appearances. When asked about her own take on Chinese fashion perceived from a New York and international perspective, Ms. Jansen enthused that "China's fashion and style will break out in the next ten years, with global fashion scenes looking to China as the focal point of inspiration and experimentation, and Chinese designers as well as taste-makers increasingly exerting their influences on the international trends."
In addition to recognizing the indigenous talents and leaders in China, the Awards also paid tribute to international brands that have made a difference in the style scene in China: CHANEL, Salvatore Ferragamo, Piaget and Four Seasons. An accompanying "Style China" show served as the playgrounds for Louis Vuitton, DIOR, DVF, TADASHI and LANAMARKS to register their respective brand identities.
"Fashion is an attitude," declared pop singer Wu Qilong, a sentiment echoed by many of the celebrities attending the special event. While some award presenters and recipients donned glamourous tuxes and off-the-runway gowns, others sported casual, cool and "comfortable" looks that communicated their personal styles. The award ceremony also featured special performances by Lang Lang (a Chopin waltz) and the "China's Great Voices" winner Li Daimo (a popular love song).
At the request of Fashion TV and Phoenix Fashion Network, Ms. Jansen has made in English a video presentation of the highlights from the award red carpet and ceremony, which will be aired by Fashion TV in more than 100 countries worldwide.

Before we plunge into the details of business process management, it will be useful to begin with a description of what Successful Business Process Management is, why I wrote it, who it is written for, and how it is structured, because for this book to be helpful, it has to be a discussion. You need to bring your own opinions and experiences, together with an understanding of your business and company culture. In order to make processes and procedures work for your company, you need to tailor them to fit, because there is no magic bullet and no one-size-fits-all approach.
There are tools and methods that are applicable in many cases, but you'll need to use your own judgment: You can drive a nail with the end of a screwdriver, but it's not an efficient way to work and someone is likely to get hurt along the way. A similar thing can happen if you try to use the wrong tools to create process solutions that don't fit your problems. For this reason, I'm going to avoid jargon and management-speak in favor of plain language and simple ideas that can be adapted to provide the value you need.
In the chapters that follow, I discuss the basic principles of good processes, starting with fundamental ideas. I explain how a process system works (and how to create and maintain one), how to document standard processes so you have something your process users can read and follow, and how to put that documented process in place as a standard way of working that will remain effective over time. I also provide methods that will enable you to use your own work experience to understand your company's needs, create processes that meet them, and ensure that those processes are optimized, in place, and working correctly in order to achieve your organization's goals. Whether you are a member of a quality department, a manager, a project leader, or the person who will be performing your process as part of your normal work, you can make your processes effective and productive.
This book might seem simple and almost naive compared to some books and articles on this topic. I am not pitching tools that can automate everything for you, I am not instructing you on the latest object modeling methodology, and I am not promising you a silver bullet cure for everything that ails your company. This is not intended as a criticism; there are lots of good tools and methodologies out there, some of which can make your life and your process management much easier—but you need to understand the basics in order to choose the right ones.
No matter what methods you use, you have to consider the needs of your company and engage your own common sense in deciding how to model your business, in figuring out what procedures you need, and in determining what to include in those procedures. Having standardized procedures will not automatically increase your revenue, decrease your time to market, improve your flexibility, or enhance your creativity—but having a good process system, choosing the right procedures, and keeping them flexible can do all those things. Modeling tools and process improvement methods can facilitate your work and provide visibility into your processes' interactions and performance. What they can't do is substitute for understanding what you're doing at a fundamental level.

For the past 3 years I have been actively blogging in the web/graphic design niche through the Vandelay Design blog and DesignM.ag. During that time the landscape of design blogging has changed considerably, as it seems new blogs are launched almost every hour, and a growing number are becoming highly profitable.
I recently sold DesignM.ag and through the process I've looked back at the last few years and what I have learned along the way. Blogging in a popular industry where hundreds or thousands of other blogs exist has pros and cons. In this post I'd like to cover five specific things that I have learned, hopefully it will be helpful to you as well.
While the context of this post is my experience blogging about topics related to design, I think they can easily apply to most other niches or industries that are very crowded.
1. Obstacles Present Opportunities
If you've read many articles with blogging tips I'm sure you've read that you should select a niche that doesn't present much competition. In my opinion, depending on your strategy for growing and/or monetizing your blog you may be better off blogging in a more popular niche. If your blogging approach is to create a large number of small blogs that target specific words or phrases and are optimized to make money with AdSense or affiliate programs, then you're probably better off avoiding crowded niches. On the other hand, if you're looking to build an authority blog where you'll be active and you're willing to dedicate a significant amount of time, crowded niches present some powerful opportunities.
The reason for avoiding crowded niches is usually that it is easier to achieve top search engine rankings or to stand out from other bloggers, both true. But the obstacle of a crowded niche can be turned into a very profitable opportunity. Here are a few examples:
Link Building – Bloggers who want to attract lots of search traffic will need to make efforts to build links. This may include blogroll link exchanges, guest posting, article marketing, social media marketing, or simply focusing on writing great posts that naturally draw links. You may have the greatest content possible, but if there are only a handful of other blogs that cover topics related to yours, you may have a hard time building more than just a few links. In crowed niches like design, there are countless other blogs that could potentially link to you. Sure, it will be more difficult to stand out in this situation, but the potential is much higher.
Guest Posting – One of the best ways to build your profile and passively market your blog is by writing posts for other blogs. In crowded niches there are more opportunities for guest posting than you could ever pursue. If you're willing to put in the time to write the content, you can get exposure and links through guest posts at a very large number of blogs.
Subscribers – Gaining subscribers is much easier when there are a lot of people interested in the topic that you are blogging about. In obscure niches you may have to work very hard just to pick up a few subscribers, which can be discouraging.
These are just a few examples, but the point is that with the right approach the obstacles of a crowded niche can be turned upside down and used for your benefit.
2. Traffic Potential is High
Crowded niches have a large number of blogs in part because there are so many readers out there looking for the content. With a huge potential audience comes the opportunity to reach very large traffic numbers. There are tons of design blogs that reach hundreds of thousands of page views each month, a number that may be almost unreachable in some niches.
3. Ad Prices May Be Lower
Finding advertisers in the design industry is not that difficult. Because the audience is so large there are plenty of companies with products and services that are looking to advertise to this audience, but there are also plenty of other advertising opportunities for them. With hundreds of blogs in the niche receiving decent numbers of visitors and page views, ad prices tend to be lower than they would be in other niches or industries with similar traffic numbers. If your ad prices are too high, the advertiser can simply go advertise somewhere else, and there are plenty of blogs willing to sell ad space at low rates. If there are only a few quality blogs in a particular niche, advertisers will have fewer options and higher ad prices can be justified. In the end, I think the higher traffic potential and lower ad prices basically even out.
4. Originality is a Challenge
Throughout my 3 years of design blogging I have followed a number of other blogs to stay aware of what is going on and the topics and types of posts that are being published by other blogs. As time has gone by and more blogs have launched it has become increasingly difficult to produce content that is unique and stands out from the content of other blogs. With far fewer blogs covering design-related topics a few years ago it was pretty easy to come up with ideas for posts that hadn't been done yet, or to cover the same general topics in new and different ways. In a crowded niche though, originality is possibly the biggest challenge.
5. Commitment, Dedication, and Consistency or Critical
In a niche where there are a large number of blogs competing for the attention of readers, you must continue to work and develop the blog in order to be successful. Taking long breaks between posts or relaxing on the quality of content will be far more damaging than it could be in other niches, because readers can simply go to other blogs to get the information that you are not providing. As I look at the design blogs that have been successful over the past few years, consistency is the one thing that they all have in common.
What's Your Opinion?
Do you blog in a crowded niche? If so, what have you learned from the experience?

The shooting happened Thursday night as the bus was stopped near the intersection of 69th and Yale on the city's South Side.
Romona Rogers-Washington was brought to the 69th Street Red Line Red Line stop after she was shot. Now, she is recovering and talking about how she could have lost her life after she was shot during bus ride home.
"I am blessed, I am lucky and I feel fine," said Rogers-Washington.
That's how a wounded, but upbeat, Rogers-Washington says she feels a day after she was shot while riding a CTA bus.
It happened Thursday evening, just before 9 p.m., as the 57-year-old rode the #67 bus to her home in the Hamilton Park neighborhood from her job as a home care assistant.
Rogers-Washington says shots rang out after a few guys who had gotten into an argument on the eastbound bus got off and then opened fire. Rogers-Washington was struck by a single bullet in the wrist and the right breast.
"Somebody said there's blood on the floor, and I looked on the floor and it was by me," said Rogers-Washington. "Then I looked at my arm, it was bleeding, I seen the hole."
The quick-thinking driver of the bus sped out of the area and eventually stopped at the 69th Street Red Line station. No one else was injured.
Doctors told Rogers-Washington's relatives she was lucky to be alive.
"It's one bullet that went through my arm into my right breast," said Rogers-Washington. Doctors told her, if she were a man, she might not have survived.
Friday afternoon, as she headed to her first check-up since the shooting, Rogers-Washington said she has no plans to stop riding the bus and doesn't blame transit officials for what happened.
Rogers-Washington says she doesn't know how long she will be off work.
Chicago police officials say no arrests have been made and no one is in custody.

This special behind-the-scenes look at "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" proves that Danny DeVito can do no wrong.
Universal Studios' upcoming animated adaptation of the beloved environmental fable features Mr. Rhea Perlman as the voice of the orange-furred Lorax. In this clip, DeVito takes us into the recording studio to show how he'll bring the beloved character to life on the big-screen. Then it gets even better, when he partakes in an adorable lesson about protecting our trees with a group of eager kids. Try as they might to be professional, the kids just can't hide their giddiness at being in the same room with the voice of the Lorax. (Or perhaps they are big admirers of "The War of the Roses.")
Our only complaint is that this video is a mere three minutes long; we would happily watch DeVito as host of a weekly educational program.
"Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" arrives in theaters on Friday, March 2.

With every car I have ever owned, security has always been a big priority for me. When I bought my most recent car, because it was brand new, very nice, and rather expensive, I wanted to tint the windows so that I could be sure that it was as secure as possible. It came with an alarm system, but if people would be able to just walk by and look inside my car, I would not feel as safe leaving it parked either at my home or when I went places. This is why one of the first things that I decided to do was to find automotive window tinting north carolina that would provide me with great quality at an affordable price. The very last thing that I wanted was to pay to have my windows tinted only for the tint to start peeling off in a few months. I have had friends who have had this problem, and so I wanted to make sure that I researched the companies enough to avoid it.
By browsing the different websites of the tinters in the area, I was able to compare their pricing and the types of tints that they had to offer. This allowed me to make an educated decision about the company that did the tinting for me so that I would not end up regretting the decision that I made. It is always important to not just jump into things without research, and that is why I decided to not just go to the first shop I could find.
The tinting on my car matches the quality of the car itself, and I owe it all to the fact that I actually looked into all of this before I decided to buy it.

Hi folks,
So it's been a while since many of y'all have seen me. With the recent news of the site shutting down, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on a few things as there was a lot going through my mind.
Firstly I want to say thank you. Everyone who is a member of this site. You all made it a place where a weirdo like me could feel at home. The AC/AF community was there for me through thick and thin, and during some of the toughest times of my real life, this community
Monty Oum, the creator of RWBY and RvB has passed away today.
RIP Monty. Your work was an inspiration to all of us, and you pushed the boundaries of anime and storytelling.
Saw this and thought it was pretty neat.
I'm back! Then again... I doubt many of you care, so here's something you might care about more...
Education in 'murica sucks. The amount of paperwork and preparation to get into college is absurd. Hours upon hours of community service, plus straight A's in the hardest of classes, and did I mention that you also have to be involved in ALL THE CLUBS!?
Honestly, it's almost like the only requirement to get in is
Meow you will have to vote in the MeowOTW.
For cute cat gifs everywhere!

Moment in Time: The Mystery of Chanel No. 5 | Part I
"A perfume such as had never before been made – a woman's perfume with a woman's scent."― Coco Chanel
Original 1950's Chanel No.5 Bottle
Source: image
The story of the legendary Chanel No. 5 has been told time and time again, but the mystery behind the scent and the name of the perfume remains and will probably never be solved. There are three different versions about the origin of the scent and several hypotheses about the meaning behind the innovative name of No. 5.
The tale began in 1920 when Mademoiselle Chanel's Russian lover at the time, the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, introduced her to Ernest Beaux, the perfumer to the tsars. Born in Moscow, Beaux started working as a laboratory assistant at Rallet – the leader soap and perfume manufacturers in Russia, and suppliers to the Imperial Court. By the age of 26 he was the company's technical director and held the position for 10 years.
In 1919, after serving in the First World War and then being commissioned by the British to join the White Russian Army as a counter-intelligence office, he arrived to Southern France. There he started working at the La Bocca laboratories, founded by some of his former colleagues from Rallet. That is where Chanel No. 5 was created. In a speech, cited in "Coco Chanel The Legend and The Life" by Justine Picardie, Beaux gave in 1946 he remembers:
"I've been asked some questions about the subject of the creation of No.5. When did I create it? In 1920 exactly, upon my return from the war. I had been part of the campaign in a Northern region of Europe, above the Arctic Circle, during the midnight sun, where the lakes and rivers exuded a perfume of extreme freshness. I retained this note and recreated it, not without difficulty, for the first aldehydes I was able to find were unstable and unreliable. Why this name? Mademoiselle Chanel, who had a very fashionable couture house, asked me for some perfumes for it. I came to present my creations, two series: No 1-5 and 20-24. She chose a few, one of which was No. 5. "What should it be called?" I asked. Mademoiselle Chanel replied, "I'm presenting my dress collection on the 5th of May, the fifth month of the year; let's leave the name Chanel No.5." This number would bring her luck."

Gypsy Times for Nunja
The world's most famous and internationally successful Russian Gypsy ensemble presents a new and extended line-up. The "devilish fiddler" Sergei Erdenko, whose "fingers sweep across the strings like a leopard's claws across a tree" (FAZ), is joined by the sensitive fiddler Georgy Osmolovsky, famed for his improvisational talent, the guitarist Alesha Bezlepkin, who is strongly influenced by Django Reinhardt, and the celebrated singer and dancer Leonsia Erdenko who is hugely popular in Moscow. This album spans a broad range of Russian Gypsy music in all its melancholy, joy and ecstasy – from the polyphonic songs of the nomads to filigree violin duets that echo the sounds of the forests and birdsong, and from instrumental pieces incorporating elements of Gypsy Swing in complex parables to the smouldering vocals of Leonsia as she sings of the freedom-loving Gypsies, their yearnings and their pleasures.

A pre-existing medical condition is any illness, disease or injury you had before you took out the travel insurance policy and for which you needed - and may continue to need - medical advice or treatment.
A cheap holiday insurance policy won't cover serious pre-existing health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes or cancer.
Insurers who do cover these types of illnesses require you to undergo medical screening online or by phone and will charge extra.
It's really not worth lying about your health just to get a cheaper premium.
While a standard travel insurance policy can cover the cost of an unforeseen illness, it won't pay for medical emergencies resulting from existing health conditions you failed to tell your insurer about.
If you do fall ill abroad and need expensive emergency medical treatment, insurers have the right to see your health record.
You could refuse access, but this allows them to reject your claim and you'll be left to pick up the bill.
- If you have an annual travel insurance policy, remember to tell your insurer about any major health changes on renewal.

It's funny. I look at my life today, and I'm awestruck at how drastically different it is from the imaginings of my youth.
I thought I'd be married forever. I'm divorced and about to start a 2nd chapter with Natalie. I never wanted kids. I now have a 16-year-old soon-to-be stepdaughter who has stolen my heart. I once was a Christian broadcaster. I now host one of the most listened to atheist radio shows in the world. I used to give my devoutly-religious parents great pride. I now give them migraines. I used to take great satisfaction in having the answers. Now, I find greater satisfaction in asking the questions.
How did this happen? The apple not only fell far from the tree, but it grew (evolved?) little apple legs and walked completely out of the orchard.
Our lives are marked by change. Every moment brings a potential butterfly effect that might spin us in toward a previously unforeseen destination (or open a door so that we might walk there ourselves). It's not destiny or the product of a Plan, but the result of acting and interacting in a cause-and-effect world.
And as the years bring experience and perspective not afforded to youth, my middle-aged self (Seth 2.0) can don his bifocals and see a broader, more complex, more interesting portrait of life than his younger counterpart could.
Yeah...I've changed. But change is a part of life. It is a constant. It happens in big ways and minuscule ways. It is sometimes within our control, and sometimes totally out of control. It adds shades of color to our lives. It keeps us on our toes. It pushes us in new and sometimes uncomfortable directions. It thrills us. It devastates us. Sometimes, it leaves scars. Other times, it is the balm which cause the scars to fade.
Change molds us, and it allows us to mold ourselves.
It's true that I'm more cynical than the wide-eyed kid of my formative years, and I'm guilty of sometimes mourning the loss of the carefree, cocky, self-assured invincibility of youth.
But almost immediately, I'm reminded that the person I see in the mirror is the result of hard-won decades upon this earth: less arrogant, less self-centered, more compassionate, less patient with injustice and lies, more seasoned, more mature, more conscious of the preciousness of life than the naive, brash, impatient boy of long ago.
My life isn't what I'd planned. It's much, much better.
Sometimes, I'd like to time-travel back for a conversation with my young self. I wouldn't spoil the surprises. I'd just wink at him and say, "Hang on. You're in for one Hell of a ride."
-Seth Andrews

Congratulations to Emma Rae Woodhouse, who has won this year's Sky News Bob Friend Scholarship.
Emma will join Sky News for a month-long internship over the summer, where she will work alongside the news organisation's journalists in various departments.
She overcame stiff competition in the form of fellow shortlisted candidates Bernie Botto, Duarte Dias and George Nixon - each of whom impressed the interview panel with their carefully-considered treatments for a Sky News story, and their passion and commitment to journalism.
The scholarship will formally be awarded at the annual Bob Friend lecture on 2 March, which this year will be given by Sky's Economics Editor Ed Conway.
Good on you Emma, showing the older years that first year isn't just a cop out year. Everyone in the year is so happy you won it! :)
Max Meads
2nd year student at the CfJ
Woohoo! Very well deserved, congratulations! Second term in and already winning a scholarship at Sky... If that's not a huge achievement then I don't know what is!
Woooo go Emma it's ya birthday!!!

I know that a lot of times we see what we want to see but heck if that was shown to me on a piece of paper without any context and I would have been asked what I see I would say spaceship .. To be clear I do not say that it has to be a space ship , it might just be a coincidence...
call me crazy, but it looks more like light, or a lazer being focused between the triangles (which dont look all completed) and it meets at that far right to create a portal of some type
Sorry can't see that , it just looks way to spaceship-ish to me with that outlining .. It even has bloody engines in the back where they should be

Hello ATS! This is my first official thread and I am very excited. I believe I have something new here.. something well, amazing.. I have been spending a lot of time looking at the Nazka lines in Google Earth. I am not talking about the hummingbird, ant or any other of the animal geoglyphs.. The lines in between...That's where the blueprint is.
I started to trace the lines and it just looked like chaos. It wasn't until I deleted my work and started over.. this time paying special attention to which lines cross over and which ones cross under.. Knowing this, there was only one thing I could do.. So Instead of tracing the lines, I outlined them on both sides... and presto!
The problem is, there is way too much work for one man to do alone. I have spent hours upon hours, upon hours doing this and I figure I am only maybe 5 percent done. The detail that is drawn in the sand is meticulous. I originally wanted all the fame and glory that comes with such discoveries.. but after realizing it would take me a lifetime by myself I decided to open up my work to the ATS.
If anyone is interested, I think there is a way to send what I have done in Google Earth but I don't know how yet.
Below is a link to several pictures. Let me know what you think ATS!
The first few pictures are some "before" pictures, Cycle through to see my work.

Very interesting post!
Just wanted to ask though - why trace by hand? I've used Alpha Channels and slightly tweaked the levels to create this in like 4 seconds
If it was higher res you'd see much more detail
Edit to add - using the above method would make shapes and formations more obvious, I'd then use a photoshop brush on a new layer and hold the shift key down to give you straight lines between clicks and adjust the width of the brush using "[" or "]" to match the thickness of the lines. Would be much quicker.
Here's the orginal image click

No E.T. or secret messages on that one. APRA is a political party from Peru, and the # 85 stands for the 1985 elections. That year the APRA candidate (Alan Garcia), was elected president of Peru.
so they decided to go over to the lines and mess them up with some dumb political ad that will have no chance of remembrance in the distant future?
seems pretty stupid to me

Come Together and Comment Forever in Your Indefinitely Infinite Open Thread
Every comment is a brick in the bridge to whatever comes next for us.
Happy Weekend! And welcome to another one of these lovely things. By the way, IF you care, which you probably do not, the comments on this post are back up to their regular 800+, so woohoo! I'm so, so thrilled that you guys continue to use this space to work things out, get advice, and generally be yourselves.
Feel free to talk about the most mundane thing you can think of -- the new lip balm you're addicted to, maybe? It's getting to be that time of year when I reapply every 10 minutes. How often do you reapply? Also: do you have worse hangnails in the wintertime, too? And are you still trying to figure out where you'll be for Thanksgiving?
On the other hand, perhaps there's been a divorce in your family and you want to talk through it. If so, xoJaners are here to listen. Are your meds messing with your sex drive? Have you been unable to orgasm for the past two years? Of course there are doctors that can help with all these things, and I encourage you to go see them, but if you just want to talk and feel less alone, please don't hesitate to talk in this space.
Have the best weekend, you sublime creatures.

In the electrical sector, power is the main focus and purpose of the electrical industry's existence. Any home in the developed world is in need of power, and though great strides have been made with home power producer products, it is still beyond the reach of the average home or business owner to be completely self–sufficient when it comes to electricity. The role of a power supplier is supply domestic and commercial premises with electricity that can be used to power appliances, lighting, heating, and any other items that require electrical power. Productpilot.com ensures that service providers and product suppliers for power products can be easily sourced.
In most cases, the infrastructure through which electricity is transferred is shared by the various power producer companies, typically being government installations. Once the infrastructure is in place, consumer and power trader alike connect to the power grid. The amount of power used by a consumer is tracked by meters installed on the premises and checked in order to calculate a bill. In this manner, many different electricity provider power the homes and businesses of a region using the same delivery system. The main advantage of this way of delivering power is little–to–no installation required when switching power producer. The supplier may need to install their own meter at a building, but they won't need to run power lines to it. The disadvantage is that with electricity just being on the grid, and usage tracking being done at the consumer end, errors in billing can sometimes occur. The technology behind power supply is always improving as power producers look for more accurate and efficient ways to deliver electricity. Productpilot.com can help traders stay informed of all the latest developments in this industry.

It might be a slight exaggeration to suggest the mission of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry is to maximize profits for its Champagne-swilling members and grind the faces of the poor.
But when LABI turns its attention to the civil courts, the focus is not on ensuring adequate recompense for the aggrieved. "Plaintiff" is a dirty word.
Fair enough. Business always will be the principal target of lawsuits because that is where the money is, and fraudsters join in with enthusiasm. LABI has just come out with "Fact Sheet: Louisiana's Judicial climate," which claims that 60 percent of its members "report that frivolous lawsuits increase the costs of doing business."
That doesn't mean much, for those members might merely be expressing an opinion about the effect of litigation in general. Besides, if we are to leave the definition of "frivolous lawsuit" to defendants, there won't be many that fail to qualify.
According to LABI, Louisiana's "reputation and reality as a poster child for lawsuit abuse" drains money from the economy and deters business investment. You could be forgiven for not noticing. As the LABI report boasts, "Louisiana's economy is outperforming the nation in many indicators, including unemployment levels, per capita income growth and a revitalized manufacturing sector, expanding faster than any other state." Evidently, if it weren't for those pesky lawsuits, the state would be sinking even faster under the weight of all that money.
The numbers cited by LABI do support the proposition that Louisiana likes to litigate, but so does the rest of America. We are, however, more inclined than most to descend on the courthouse, ranking seventh nationwide on a "tort activity index" and third among 16 Southern states for the number of civil suits filed per capita.
Whether that makes us a "poster child for lawsuit abuse" or proves that the courts are safeguarding the rights of the citizenry is a question on which LABI and trial lawyers will strongly disagree.
LABI's campaign for judicial reform met with some success at this year's legislative session, although the courts may yet invalidate the law it pushed to put the kibosh on the flood protection authority lawsuit against oil and gas companies that destroyed huge areas of the coastal wetlands.
LABI failed, however, in its bid for more jury trials in civil court, and now declares its main mission next year will be to try again.
All trials in which the sum in dispute is less than $50,000 are conducted by judges in Louisiana. Over that amount, either party can opt for a jury.
That gives Louisiana far and away the highest threshold in the entire country, and in 36 states; the option for a jury trial in a civil dispute is open to one and all. Thus, according to LABI, Louisiana not only "limits a citizen's constitutional right" but is "driving up costs and encouraging frivolous cases."
Sad to relate, LABI has grave doubts about either the integrity or the competence of the Louisiana judiciary. According to the report, the $50,000 threshold "allows entrepreneurial trial lawyers to 'judge shop' to legally and openly seek a venue with a track record that is more profitable for them." So long as we have elected judges, it may be that total impartiality is indeed too much to expect.
Juries, however, would not necessarily prove more sympathetic to LABI members. Plaintiff lawyers tend to rub their hands at the prospect of a jury trial in New Orleans, for instance.
Statewide, only 235 jury trials were held in 2012, although more than 134,000 suits were filed.
LABI professes itself aghast that fewer than 2 percent of cases go to a jury trial in Louisiana and argues that, if the threshold were lowered or abolished, we'd have a whole lot more.
LABI pooh-poohs suggestions that the courts would then be saddled with an "overwhelming workload." We have more than our fair share of judges, LABI notes, and, besides, "studies have shown that less than 1 percent of civil cases go to jury trials in states with no jury threshold."
Someone at LABI should have noticed what a huge hole that blows in its entire thesis. Better lay off that Champagne.

"Who doesn't want to see a bunch of hot lingerie models frolicking with a bunch of vegetables?" asked Kelly West in CinemaBlend. "NBC, for one." The TV network told the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals it couldn't air a sexy, pro-vegetarian commercial (click here for the PETA video) during the Super Bowl. The ad is racy, sure, but hardly explicit by today's standards.
Of course it is, said Allison Linn in MSNBC. That's the whole point. PETA knew the network couldn't air an ad featuring "women in bras and panties getting extremely busy with some vegetables" without getting blanketed with angry e-mails from "every mom and dad in America." So it submitted the ad, the ad got rejected, and, wham, instant publicity.
How predictable, said Jennifer Wells in the Toronto Globe and Mail. And how "offensive. Juvenile. Hateful." NBC cited many violations of decency, such as a woman "'touching her breast with her hand while eating broccoli.'" The advertisement is like "Maxim on video, only with vegetables."
Correct, said Michael d'Estries in Ecorazzi, which is why this "could quite possibly be the greatest pro-vegetarian ad ever." Sure, PETA knew the ad would be rejected. But the network, which will show people getting murdered but not models in lingerie, is the bad guy here.

Charles Dickens Quotes About SummerQuotes about: Summer
Spring flew swiftly by, and summer came; and if the village had been beautiful at first, it was now in the full glow and luxuriance of its richness. The great trees, which had looked shrunken and bare in the earlier months, had now burst into strong life and health; and stretching forth their green arms over the thirsty ground, converted open and naked spots into choice nooks, where was a deep and pleasant shade from which to look upon the wide prospect, steeped in sunshine, which lay stretched out beyond.
On summer evenings, when every flower, and tree, and bird, might have better addressed my soft young heart, I have in my day been caught in the palm of a female hand by the crown, have been violently scrubbed from the neck to the roots of the hair as a purification for the Temple, and have then been carried off highly charged with saponaceous electricity, to be steamed like a potato in the unventilated breath of the powerful Boanerges Boiler and his congregation, until what small mind I had, was quite steamed out of me
The appearance presented by the streets of London an hour before sunrise, on a summer's morning, is most striking even to the few whose unfortunate pursuits of pleasure, or scarcely less unfortunate pursuits of business, cause them to be well acquainted with the scene. There is an air of cold, solitary desolation about the noiseless streets which we are accustomed to see thronged at other times by a busy, eager crowd, and over the quiet, closely-shut buildings, which throughout the day are swarming with life and bustle, that is very impressive.

They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To
And what a writer he was, a fair man who called them like he saw them.
In the linked article, his son, an outstanding journalist in his own right, writes about what he and his sister, the famous writer's daughter, thought their father would have thought about sports today. I think that they got it right about their dad, Red Smith, and there are a few things that I would have added.
He wouldn't have liked the sportswriter as celebrity, and he also wouldn't have liked the conflicted role that ESPN sometimes plays, where on the one hand they tout a sport because they've committed big bucks to it, but on the other hand they try to cover it. And he certainly wouldn't have made himself the story, as some current "journalists" tend to.
There are outstanding writers today, and, no, I don't subscribe to the notion that they don't make 'em like they used to. Each generation produces its greats, and I, for one, feel privileged to have read Red Smith's columns as a younger man (as well as Dave Anderson's), and to have listened to Harry Kalas and Richie Ashburn broadcasts of the Phillies' games.
Today, Harry Kalas remains a household name, while Red Smith's name has faded in memory (understandably, as he died 23 years ago).
That's a shame, because he was a Hall of Famer in his craft, and he would have taken a stand on the steroids issue and given his colleagues the courage to have done the same.
Which is what no current baseball writer did (to a degree, SI's Rick Reilly did, but he doesn't write as frequently as a daily newspaper's sports columnists).
So, let's remember Red Smith fondly and hope that those who write today honor the titans who preceded them.

5 Interesting Facts That Will Make You Want To Travel The World.
Posted on: October 11, 2014 | 3:29 PM (IST)
Here at Roadlike, we can't get enough of traveling and seeing the world - there always seems to be something new to learn and see! With that in mind, here are five interesting facts that are sure to ignite your wanderlust and give you some special travel moments…
1. The world's first granite temple is the Brihadeeswarar Temple in Tamil Nadu, India
This Hindu temple is stunning, and surprisingly was built in only five years, between 1004 and 1009 AD. The vimanam (shikhara), or temple tower, was made from one 80-tonne piece of granite, making it the world's first and largest granite temple. It's dedicated to Shiva and its beauty makes it one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state.
2. Most of the animal and plant species found on Madagascar are unique to the island
The island of Madagascar, found off the south-east coast of Africa, has been isolated for around 88 millions years. Because of this isolation, about 90% of the animal and plant species on the island are endemic - meaning they are unique to this island. As a biodiversity hotspot, Madagascar is filled with unique and exciting wildlife, and on a trip to the island you may see fossa, lemurs, birds, insects and many more interesting creatures.
3. Hong Kong is home to the world's longest outdoor covered escalator
As one of the most densely populated places on Earth, it's little surprise that Hong Kong is good at getting people from A to B. The autonomous territory is home to the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator, a half-mile long escalator which helps thousands of Hong Kongers commute each day. As the world's longest covered escalator, it takes 20 minutes to go the whole length and includes many exit and entry points, rest stops and points of interest.
4. La Paz, Bolivia, is the highest capital city in the world
The capital city of Bolivia can be found at an altitude of around 11,975 feet, making it the highest capital city on Earth. As well as amazing views, friendly locals and perhaps a little shortness of breath, you can expect fun journeys on the Mi Teleférico cable car system when you visit La Paz.
5. The Catacombs of Paris are home to the remains of over six million people
If you've already paid a visit to the romantic city of Paris, you no doubt appreciated the gorgeous architecture, delicious food and refined culture, but did you know that the bones of over six million people were lying under your feet? The Catacombs are underground ossuaries which were formed after cemetery closures and mine renovations in the 18th century. You can now take guided tours through parts of the Catacombs and see the eerie tunnels filled with the bones of the city's long departed residents
You might not have expected it, but these airport experiences may be something you'll want to record while traveling after all. No matter what weird or fun airport experiences you find, don't forget to download the Roadlike travel app (iOS, Andorid) so you can check in, take travel videos and photos, and save all your memories so you can share and relive all the fun you had traveling!

7 Essential Travel Tips When Traveling Abroad
Posted on: July 21, 2013 | 8:29 PM (IST)
Thinking of traveling abroad? International travel can be exciting, even life-changing, but it's important to plan in advance. Here are our tips for having the best possible experience.
1. Get familiar with the language
You can't learn a new language in a few weeks, but you can certainly learn a few helpful phrases. Try to memorize simple questions and courtesies. It will make travel more fun and less frightening, and the locals will appreciate your effort.
2. Figure out the money situation
While you should get some foreign currency from your bank before you leave, it likely won't keep you going for an entire trip. Before you go abroad, make sure you have a couple of ways you can purchase things, and book hotels, trips, and transportation online (in case you need to when you're there). Ask your bank about charges for pulling money from a foreign ATM, and see if they have any partners in the country you are going to. Also be sure to get a credit card that won't charge you extra for foreign transactions.
3. Pack adapters and converters
If the country you're going to has the same voltage as yours, you will only need an adapter (which adapts plugs to outlets that wouldn't otherwise physically fit). If you're going somewhere with a different voltage, you'll need a converter as well. It's also important to note that some products (like straighteners and hairdryers) don't convert well even with a converter. Try to see if your hotel has these instead of bringing your own.
4. Bring a few garbage bags
Garbage bags are absolute travel essentials. They can hold wet clothes and separate your dirty and clean laundry when you pack.
5. Make copies of EVERYTHING
No one wants to think about having their documents and money stolen or lost, but it does happen. To avoid disaster, make copies of all of your documents (passport, ID cards, credit cards). This will make it so much easier to file a report, get new documents fast, and cancel any credit or debit cards that were stolen.
6. Pack extra in your carry-on
Everyone knows the dread of getting somewhere and finding out your checked baggage didn't make it on the plane with you. To avoid unneeded stress, pack everything you would need for one night in your carry-on.
7. Capture the memories
One of the most important parts of traveling is finding a way to remember it! Roadlike is a travel app that allows you to check in at each place you go, and capture all your travel moments with precise addresses, photos, videos, and memory notes. With Roadlike, you won't have to wonder where a picture was taken, or which restaurant was your favorite in a certain city.
Roadlike app is available on Android and iOS and it's free to use.

5 Advantages of Quick Tracking Of Every Moment in a Simple App
Posted on: March 17, 2012 | 6:29 PM (IST)
Of course we make our own moments when going on vacation and visiting places that are new to us – or places that we enjoy so much we keep going back to – but tracking those locations can give us even more to remember, and remind us why we enjoyed the destination so much in the first place! Using Roadlike app to check in and track travel destinations is a great way to create a beautiful virtual storybook of your travels. Here are the top reasons why checking in and tracking your moments amplifies your travel experience!
Never Forget Exactly Where You Went! (Bookmark Your Locations.)
Maybe you love a certain restaurant that you dine in on a location that you want to recommend to friends and family, or return to on your next trip! When you check in at places, you can bookmark the exact address of that restaurant (or hotel, or bar, shopping mall etc). The fact that you are able to save these details means it will be hassle free when telling anyone else about the place, or making a return trip. When you want to remember where you were when you had that great experience and you want to re-live or discuss, simply open it in the app and you can see all of the details you have bookmarked!
Bad Memory? Tracking Helps You to Remember, even Offline! (Works Beautifully Well Even Without Internet.)
Have a bad memory? Don't worry, the features of Roadlike App makes it possible to check in to locations when you have no available internet connection. This means that if you are traveling to somewhere that is beautiful and exotic, with little or no Wi-Fi, you will still be able to check in to locations so that you can remember these amazing locales. Places that don't have these connections may be harder to find when you trying to recall them at a later date after you have left and returned home, so check in to track & bookmark your destinations even with no internet connection and have your memories available only a click away.
Roadlike app is available on Android and iOS and it's free to use.
Remember the Details of Get-Togethers, Never Forget a Name! (Easily Add New Friends, Photos & Videos with Auto Timestamps.)
Screenshots and check-ins allow you to add the people that you were with so you can remember exactly who shared the experiences with you! Maybe you just met some great new friends at that wonderful little Tiki Bar you're at – check in and add their names so you won't forget them, or the place! So much excitement (and maybe a few too many cocktails) can cloud our memories a bit, so by taking pictures and checking in preserve those memories (moments) for you so you can enjoy thinking about the lovely time you had and who was there when it was all happening!
If you're having the best time of your life and you know it's a moment that you never want to forget – make sure you don't forget it! You don't have to write it down or make a memo, we know that takes away from the moment! Of course, you will most likely be taking pictures anyways – use the app to check in with one click and make a picture memory out of it! The app will automatically pull up your location with the exact address, so you don't need to type anything in.
Click, click, flash! (Take a Photo or Video, We Will Tell You The Location!)
You can also use the app's 'use camera' feature right next to 'use my location' – when you take a picture with the app, it can turn into a screenshot with location details listed, so you are creating a virtual storybook! It's so easy to remember the little things when they're just a couple of clicks away, and preserved in photo form! So if you're wondering, down the road, when and where you were when that awesome thing happened that you want to tell everyone about – just pull it up and see the picture, the moment and the place!
Relive your great moments over and over and share them with friends and family! (Build Your Legacy For Others to See!)
After you've checked in and tracked your amazing moments of various journeys and you have all of the photos and location details compiled in the app, relive them over and over again! Never forget your vacations and get-togethers, and always have them available to show off right at your fingertips. Play an awesome slideshow, featuring you and your friends (and random locals and tourists) as the stars! Collecting your awesome storybook adventure is super easy when you check in and take pictures, and showing them off (or just remembering them by yourself) is just as easy! Who doesn't want to keep track of the great places they have traveled to and then watch them play out as a movie later on down the road?
So, let's just think about that for one more minute! You go on an insanely amazing road trip (or overseas, or…maybe just a weekend getaway)… and you experience things that you never even knew were possible! Check in to those places! Check in with your new friends from other countries, or your old friends who are with you in new countries! Track your destinations and take screenshots whenever possible! A picture is worth a thousand words, and these pictures from your journeys will bring to mind many more when you relive your memories! Screenshots, location tracking & bookmarking, with exact location details …addresses stored so you can return, again and again!
Make your next trip one that can never be forgotten! Bon Voyage!

Journaling a Vacation can be one of the most exciting things to do!
Posted on: January 10, 2012 | 8:29 PM (IST)
Journaling a vacation can be one of the most exciting things to do. This will make it easier to look back upon all of the details once you get home, as well as years into the future. Whether you go to a bustling city or a remote village, it can be exciting to capture locations and photos.
The average person today doesn't carry around a camera, nor do they carry around an actual journal to write details in. With this in mind, how do you plan on journaling your vacation? You likely have a smartphone, which is what more and more people are using to journal their vacation. You may not have the ability to check in everywhere on social media because of not having a connection. This means you have to work offline.
Roadlike is an app that you can download to your smartphone while you are still in an area where there's Wi-Fi. After that, you can go offline and use it with the smart GPS to be able to check in everywhere. You can capture places using your GPS as well as your built-in camera, allowing you to know where all the pictures were taken.
Make some comments on all of the locations, so you know what you loved about everything. Journal where you ate each meal, what you ate and what it is that you liked about that meal, how you spent your days, and how you spent your nights. You can incorporate images into it all, and write about how much fun you had.
You can even write about some things you may want to redo if you ever go back to the place. Perhaps you may want to redo the safari tour that you enjoyed in Africa or revisit the Party Club in Italy where you had a good conversation with a lovely stranger. You don't want to miss the details because a good journal is going to contain all of these things.
Consider this. You had so much fun on your vacation that you may want to repeat it in 5 or 10 years. How will you know what restaurants you went to? How will you remember where that cute little bridge was that you found after trekking all over the city for hours? When you have a check-in app like Roadlike, it makes it easy to remember everything – and you don't have to write anything down.
You want to make sure you have the time of your life on a vacation. When you can journal in a digital way and do so offline, it's going to make sure you have more time to focus on the fun of the vacation. You can always go in and journal more of the details when you get home, but you have a head start with all of the locations you visited, which can be amazing!
The app is available on Android and iOS and it's free to use.

Roadlike: The Ultimate Travel App
Posted on: September 29, 2011 | 2:06 PM (IST)
Traveling can be a lot of fun – and you may have some amazing moments along the way. Regardless of where you decide to travel, you want to make sure you capture all of the moments that makes your trip memorable. Roadlike is an app that was created for this very reason. It allows you to recollect the moments of your trip, no matter how large or small they might be.
Online Private Diary
Whether you are climbing mountains, cruising islands, or touring major cities, you want to know where you're going and what you're doing. While you may remember some of the basic details once you return home, there's going to be a lot that you don't remember. You want to be able to remember such things as:
Gift shops
Street performers
Much more
With Roadlike, you have a travel app that becomes your online private diary so you can capture places/locations you visited. This gives you the opportunity to remember and re-live your moments over and over again. As you go through your travels, you can check-in so that the app records memories and you can track your journey. There's no chance of forgetting any of the minute details because it has all been captured.
Features of Roadlike
There are several features for Roadlike that makes it a personal application that you can use to not only capture moments, but also share them.
Integrated Google Maps: Google Maps has been integrated into the app so you always know where you are when you are having a moment. This ensures you can revisit the location at another time – and find out the name of the location should you wish to share it in another way once you return home.
Camera: You can use the camera on your phone or tablet within the Roadlike app to be able to add photographs of the moments. You can also add a brief description and identify the people who are with you at a particular place.
Contacts: Create a list of Contacts that includes friends and family. As you identify who is with you, those within your contacts will get a copy of the moment so they can add it to their own timeline. They can also edit and delete the moment without it affecting your copy of it. Simply invite people using their email addresses so they can be added to your contacts – and there is no limit to how many people you can add.
Sharing: You have the chance to share the URL of your Roadlike Journey on any social network of your choosing. Only the people within your network will be able to see your moments. You can also choose to keep some moments private.
Download Your Captured Moments: There's also the chance to download your memories. Just click on the 'download data' link and within 48 hours, your data will be ready to download so you can have it on your computer, tablet, or anywhere else you may want to share your journeys.
Living the Moments
Depending upon the smart device you have the app installed on, you can have moments photography and even moments videography footage. Do you want to take a photo of an incredible meal that you are eating on your travels? Do you want to record the amazing street performer that you are watching? Do so within your travel app so that memory notes are created. You will be able to remember when you saw / experienced this, where you were, and other details that you wrote down.
This memories app was created to make it easier for you to have an online travel diary. Too many people complain that they end up with a folder full of digital photos, but they don't remember enough of the details to make a real online travel diary out of it. This is why Roadlike was made – and why the features are what they are. It's a unique way of having an online private diary – and you don't have to be online to make all of the notes while you are traveling. Think about all the times you tried to check-in somewhere and found that you didn't have an internet connection. You missed out on being able to capture events and check-in.
Especially when you travel to foreign countries, Wi-Fi is not always a guarantee. Roadlike understands that you are going to record memories regardless of whether there is an internet connection or not – and now you can check-in offline too.
The app is available on Android and iOS and it's free to use. What's more is that you can capture moments offline, along with locations, and places. This means you don't have to worry about whether you are connected to a network or not. You can simply live in the moment and capture all of the amazing things that are happening all around you.
Start tracking your next journey! Where are you going to go? It doesn't matter where you decide to go in the world. Roadlike can be downloaded to your mobile phone so you can have the ultimate travel app to track your journey. It's going to make for better memories because now you can have more details in front of you when you go to share or reminisce.
