Syracuse, N.Y. — The Syracuse Industrial Development Agency has agreed to give COR Development Co. $1.5 million to build public infrastructure at the Syracuse Inner Harbor.
Fayettetville-based COR said the money will be used to build roads, sidewalks and drainage systems, and install sewers, lighting and landscaping at the southern end of the harbor's west bank, a short distance northeast of the corner of Van Rensselaer and West Kirkpatrick streets.
The infrastructure will support the development of mixed-use buildings, containing both apartments and storefronts, on the west bank, the company said. Construction will start late this fall or early next year, according to COR.
COR was selected by the city, following a request for proposals, to turn the former state Barge Canal terminal into a $350 million development with apartments, stores and a 255-room Aloft hotel. Construction on the hotel is scheduled to start this summer on the south bank of the harbor.
In November of 2012, the industrial development agency voted to give the city $500,000 for roads and other public infrastructure at the harbor. Those funds were to be matched with a $2 million U.S. Economic Development Administration grant and a $1.5 million state grant to build the improvements. However, the federal grant was not approved.
In February, COR asked the city agency to reallocate the original $500,000 grant to the company and approve an additional $1 million so the company could build enough of the infrastructure improvements to get a section of the west bank ready for building construction.
Ben Walsh, deputy commissioner of the city's Office of Neighborhood & Business Development, said COR will transfer the roads and other public improvements to the city once they are completed.

Human Resource Development Practices as Determinant of HRD Climate and Quality Orientation
Hassan, Arif; Hashim, Junaidah; Ismail, Ahmad Zaki Hj
Journal of European Industrial Training, v30 n1 p4-18 2006
Purpose: The aim of the study was to measure employees' perception of human resource development (HRD) practices, to explore whether ISO certification leads to any improvements in HRD system, and to examine the role of HRD practices on employees' development climate and quality orientation in the organization. Design/methodology/approach: A total of 239 employees belonging to eight organizations (four of them ISO certified) responded to a questionnaire which measured the following variables: career system, work planning system, development system, self renewal system, and HRD system. Findings: Results indicated large inter-organizational differences in HRD practices. In general, however, employees' ratings were moderate. ISO certified companies, compared to others, obtained higher means on some HRD variables. Organizations with better learning, training and development systems, reward and recognition, and information systems promoted human resource development climate. Quality orientation was predicted by career planning, performance guidance and development, role efficacy, and reward and recognition systems. Research limitations/implications: Comparison between ISO and non-ISO certified companies did yield some significant differences, yet it was difficult to conclude that the differences were due to ISO certification alone as organizations in the sample were not matched. Practical implications: The findings can be used by HR practitioners and scholars in building management concerns and advocacy for better HRD systems and practices. Originality/value: Very little empirical knowledge is available on this subject from transitional economies like Malaysia. The study makes a modest attempt in that direction. (Contains 3 tables and 5 figures.)

8 Reasons To Date A Girl With Daddy Issues (It's Not What You Think)
You've probably met a girl or guy like me in your life, maybe you are one.
Hi, my name is Mandy and I'm coming clean: I have daddy issues.
The "issues" started when I was a teenager and managed to slither their way into every relationship I've had with a guy. In high school, I lamented over a break-up as if a family member had died and my grief lasted just as long. My doc deemed my inconsolable heartbreak as abandonment issues, because of having a parent in-and-out of the picture. In college, I avoided breakups all together by staying in an emotionally abusive relationship. He came and went and I loved unconditionally -- a cycle that felt normal, even though it was detrimental.Now, everyone can have relationship issues and no one is immune to getting wrapped up in a bad situation. But it's no secret that the relationship we share with our parents can have a huge impact on how we cope with relationships in our adult lives.
Growing up, my biological father would be around one minute and gone the next -- cheering behind me at my tee-ball games then gone for weeks without a call. I can't name one instance where he picked my brother and me up for the court mandated visitation more than two weekends in a row. His inconsistency was due in part to his own demons, mentally and drug-related, and they took a huge toll on more than just bi-weekly visits. He missed my freshmen year play because he had been arrested and ditched my high school graduation for reasons I'm still unclear of. Since I've graduated college and moved away from my hometown, I've been able to have a better relationship with him, but thanks to his instability throughout my life and in my life, the damage had been done.flic.kr
You've probably met a girl or guy like me in your life, maybe you are one. And while it truly sucks to have a parent that would cause you to be insecure of yourself or your relationships -- no matter what he or she does -- having such a negative connotation, or term even, attached to our experience sucks more. For so long, girls with "daddy issues" have been cast off as emotionally damaged simply for getting doled a bad hand. His issues become your own, and suddenly, you're the punch line of a poorly written rom-com or afraid to tell the guy you're dating about your past.
However, what people don't see is how those with daddy issues have risen above. Coping with the rocky relationships may be a constant battle in our lives, but that does not mean our past defines us, and neither should anyone else.flickr.com
The kind of relationship I've had with my dad and its affects have taken longer than I expected to accept, but I finally feel like I can embrace my status as a woman with "daddy issues." I would never wish anyone to have to go through hardship, but as someone who didn't have a choice, I've come to endear those two words as a right of passage instead of an unfortunate circumstance. You should, too.
Here's why:
We're not afraid to speak our mind.
When you don't get the attention you deserve, you learn to go after it on your own. We learn that the first step to dealing with problems is to talk about them; It's the only way to feel better.
We've loved and lost, and it won't break us.
Sure, we may have had different experiences that have hurt us or let us down, but they don't define us. We may need therapy, deep breaths or a helping hand, but with encouragement, we'll get through hard moments.
We won't settle.
We know exactly what we don't want in a partner, that's for sure. Coming to that realization may take us some time, but we'll get there. We'll also hold others to want the best for themselves as well.
And if we do, we will learn from our mistakes.
We may have been hurt, but we're certainly not stupid. In fact, learning to cope with making mistakes is a natural part of life. We're just really good at it.
We can spot and stay clear of people who only bring us down.
We understand what it feels like to be ignored, abandoned, put down or simply not good enough. We don't like feeling that way and we have enough of that without an added person making us feel the same.
Which makes us very good at knowing the sincere apologies from the fake ones.
We've heard the lies and we've played the games. You can't fool us, we've already fallen for lies before. We know what we deserve.
We keep living.
We're not going anywhere, and we can show everyone else how to, too.If you want to show the world that women with daddy issues ain't ones to mess with, share this with your friends below!

I love guyabano! I use the pulp as the base for my juicing needs. Though I have heard that " Guyabano tree, its fruit, leaves, stem, bark is a natural cancer cell killer", I have not come across research studies to validate this. According to the website, guyabano.com, a " scientific research published in the Journal of Natural Products in 1996, stated that a certain compound from the seed is selectively cytotoxic to colon adenocarcinoma cells (HT-29) in which it was 10,000 times the potency of Adriamycin (the commonly used chemotherapy drug)." I still have to read that study and similar researches . Studies by the Chemicals and Energy Division (CED) of the Department of Science and Technology's Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST-ITDI) show that guyabano generally has high flavonoid content. Flavonoids are phytochemicals that have been found to inhibit or even prevent the growth of viruses, carcinogens, and allergens. Traditionally, guyabano has been consumed by diabetics to lower their blood sugar, and tests showed that it even outperforms Metformin, the most commonly used maintenance drug of diabetics, in lowering blood glucose levels.
My friends brew dried guyabano leaves into tea because they swear by its healing properties. I recently discovered that there is a guyabano capsule available through my sister's friend , Ian Atienza who is the owner and managing partner of Nutrifriendsnaturals.com . He gave me two bottles to try out.
The serving Size is 500mg/capsule. Each container contains 90 capsules. The standard Dosage is 500mg 3 times daily. Traditional Uses of Graviola Leaf are for Abscesses, arthritis pain, asthenia, asthma, astringent, bronchitis, catarrh, colic, cough,diabetes, diuretic, dysentery, edema, fever,gallbladder disorders, grippe, heart, hypertension,indigestion, infections, intestinal worms, lactogogue, liver disorders, malaria, nervine,nervousness, neuralgia, palpitations, parasites, parturition, rashes, rheumatism, ringworm,sedative, skin disorders, spasms, styptic, tonic, tranquilizer, tumors, ulcers, worm
The website is clear in saying that these statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Also, the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
You can order the bottles through Nutrifriendsnaturals.com or order page. It costs $ 23.95 / bottle – 90 capsules typically good for 1 month or 1,000 pesos.

Dear Firehouse Shelter Supporters-
I am so happy to announce that as of today ALL of the gentlemen that were hit by the car last month are safely at home in Firehouse housing! These men all have a long road ahead of them with continuing stability and recovery, but the transition has been relatively smooth because of the excellent staff, volunteers, and supporters like YOU! The donations we received have provided healthy and easy to prepare food, medical supplies, and medication. In addition to providing housing and supplies, we are extremely blessed to have UAB OT students observe and make suggestions on modifications that will make the lives of our disabled population easier. We are continually blessed to have progress spring from adversity.
Also, I wanted to report that the corporate luncheon was a HUGE success. Coach Croom's message was incredibly moving, as was the testimony from our former guest and now employee, Russell McCay. A big thanks to all who participated and graciously donated to our organization. If you didn't get a chance to participate in the luncheon, don't worry! Our Gala is set for November 13,2014, more information will be released soon. These events are a great way to not only raise much needed funding, but also to learn more about our organization and meet fellow volunteers, staff, board members, and guests!
Once again, THANK YOU to all who have supported The Firehouse Shelter. Not only are you helping change the lives of the chronically homeless, you are helping to change the face of Birmingham. By supporting The Firehouse, you are supporting an organization that believes every person matters and has worth, every person deserves hope, and every person deserves a chance to change if they so desire. Thank you for all that you do.
Warmest Wishes,
Anne Darden Wright

Some good learning activities for babies include narrating events, teaching basic sign language, playing counting games and listening to music. These activities can all help encourage brain development.Continue Reading
Talking out loud is one of the most beneficial practices for babies. Even if they can't communicate back, their brains are capable of comprehending language and making mental connections. Speaking slowly and narrating what is happening around children is a highly effective way to help them begin learning speech.
Basic sign language is also an engaging communication tool. The muscles in the face and mouth take over a year to develop before they become capable of the most basic speech, but babies' hands are capable of forming simple signs much sooner. Try teaching children the names of items or basic pleasantries, such as "please" and "thank you."
Children have the capacity to understand differences in quantity from a very young age, sometimes as early as 4 ½ months. Counting out items while placing them in front of babies can help them begin to draw connections between the quantity and the number that describes it.
Some research shows that babies may respond more to music and rhythm than actual speech. Singing and dancing along with babies can help them gain a better understanding of music, which is highly useful for brain development.Learn more about Babies & Toddlers

Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 Summary and Analysis
Harry Sonneborn came into Ray's office soliciting a job and was persistent though Ray said he had no jobs. Kroc needed help because he was on his own and needed to keep his head start and momentum. Harry and June turned out to be wonderful workers. All Ray could give them was more stock, which paid them back over and over once McDonald's took off. With more stores opening, Ray needed someone to manage operations and commit to the "Quality, Service, Cleanliness, and Value" or "QSC and V" that Ray Kroc knew was the secret to build the McDonald's corporation. Ray chose Fred Turner for the operations position. He would eventually become the president, then board chairman, of the corporation. That year, they opened twenty-five new stores around the country. Turner helped round the clock, even helping...

Edmund Lee of AdAge has some details on Splitsider.com, the new comedy-oriented blog that's one of two new sites being launched by the guys from The Awl. It kicked off in beta this morning and will go public after Labor Day. It's being headed up by former Gizmodo editor Adam Frucci.
"It's a blog about movies, TV shows, web videos, books and the people behind them," Mr. Frucci said. "But it's centered around comedy. I feel like there's a lot of talk these days about how the internet is changing entertainment, but I feel like comedy is really where that's happening more than anywhere else. 'Mad Men' isn't really threatened by three-minute YouTube videos -- 'SNL' skits are."
The site will feature regular columns and articles when it goes public next week. A regular column on British comedy, for example, will be penned by TV writer Curtis Gwinn. Another feature which will be posted next week will take a look at comedies that don't stand up to the test of time. "Good comedy has no expiration date," Mr. Frucci said. "It has a shelf life."

Skip to comments.Gingrich insists republican primary isn't over
Posted on 04/17/2012 9:31:53 PM PDT by NoLibZone
RICHARDSON (CBSDFW) Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich says hes not leaving the Presidential race anytime soon. Im the tortoise in this race, Gingrich says. Ill just keep coming forward and Im still here.
Before 75 supporters in a packed Richardson restaurant along Central Expressway Monday afternoon, Gingrich sounded upbeat.
He told the town hall meeting, I certainly felt a lot more encouraged by donors than discouraged by the elite media. But hes facing an uphill climb.
(Excerpt) Read more at dfw.cbslocal.com ...
"It's just a scratch!"
"It's just a flesh wound. "
We need Newt to gain Santorum's endorsement and turn the GOP Convention upside down.
It's not happening, even in Texas.
Cain,Nugent, Boehner and the lot are pitchin for Mitt
Sorry for the dupe.
Mifi, Ipad and hotel room.
Nothing to be lost and everything to gain by simply staying around and not dropping out.
By the time we reach the convention, it's going to be apparent that the voter base has such a schism that there's no way to get Mitt through the primary. For every die hard supporter he has, he has an enemy. There's not going to be any coming together "in the end."
Not this time.
The convention can either broker someone else we can all support (And I'm not saying Newt will be it) but if they don't, we can't win. This party is shattered. Broken. And it's not going to fix itself this time.
Aside from Ann Coulter and Ann Romney, does Mittens actually have any "die hard supporters"?
Most of the "endorsements" I'm seeing are the, "Okay, (shrug) Romney, I guess," variety.
President Harry S. Truman once aluded that there wasn't much difference between a piano player in a whore house and a politician.
Cain, Nugent, Boehner and the lot are pitchin' for Mitt because of the relentless propaganda drumbeat that Romney is inevitable, all bought by Romney's money.
Well, he isn't inevitable.
The 11th Commandment of Ronald Reagan was to speak nothing negative about fellow Republicans. Romney has run his race exactly opposite of that, because he has NO positive conservative record in his past. He governed Massachusetts as a progressive, a socialist!
The states where he has won the majority of delegates have been almost uniformily Blue states, which he will not win in a national election come November.
So, if conservatives don't get their butts in gear and change the tragectory of this nomination, we will have a choice between Romney the fascist and Obama the communist. That is not a choice. Both men believe government is God, which is evil.
"We need Newt to gain Santorums endorsement and turn the GOP Convention upside down."
The idling political powerhouse up in Alaska wouldn't hurt either.
Yes, Newt needs to stay in in order to recoop the money he has sunk into his campaign. He has until the convention to get himself whole. Newt also needs his supporters to still believe he has a chance, so they continue forking over the cash. Plus Callista is on a book tour for her new children's book she wrote. The campaign is paying for it. The campaign has hired a guy to dress in an elephant suit for the appearances. Callista must also fly on private jets. No commercial for her.The Campaign is paying for this also. After you donate you get to be on his donors list, which Newt is currently selling as we speak. Pretty good deal, after you donate you get a free cruise from the Timeshare people. As PT Barnum once said.
Cain is supporting Team Romney that destroyed him?
If so, Cain is so stupid as to be henceforth
forever ignored.
Hang in there, Newt. I'll vote for ya'.
CA Primary, 5 JUN
Exactly. Freepers are having a hard time coming to terms with it, though.
If little Ricky is the great conservative that he claims to be, he would throw his support to Newt. We will see.
Little Ricky, and you wonder why he doesn't fall into line for you. Santorums people will divide about equally for Romney early on and then collapse into the RINO machine.
Those that continually ridiculed the Senator can then take the bow that they have earned.

So many people are walking around in this life, day in and day out, going through the motions, checking off their lists, breathing air, but they aren't truly living the way God intends. See, God doesn't want us to just "get through" the days; He wants us to thrive, excel, overcome, and really live and enjoy life more than we can ever imagine!
When you are connected to the Giver of Life, there's another level of living that you tap into. It's a supernatural level and greater than anything this world can give you. That's why Jesus said, "I am the vine; you are the branches." He is the source of life, and apart from Him, we can do nothing.
John 10:10 tells us that Jesus came to give us life—not just any life, but abundant life—complete, whole and thriving in every way. With Him, you can have more love, more power, more joy, greater peace, better relationships, deeper insight and so much more!
Today, if you feel like you are living with less than God's best, know that He wants to ignite passion on the inside of you. He wants to give you more in this life than you ever dreamed. I believe that one of the major keys to really having and enjoying life is by doing what I call mastering the art of overlooking.
Scripture says that we are to seek peace and pursue it. When we hold on to hurt and offense, it quickly becomes bitterness that works like an emotional cancer inside of us. But when we overlook offense, when we choose love and release the wrongs done to us through forgiveness, we are choosing God's ways and tapping into the supernatural life He has for us.
I encourage you today, if someone has wronged you and you still get that cringing feeling on the inside when you see them or think about them, take it to God and allow Him to keep your heart soft and sensitive. Don't let unforgiveness hold you back, weigh you down, and keep you from really living. It's okay to say, "God, I don't feel like I can forgive this person, but I'm asking You to give me the grace and strength to forgive. I am giving my whole heart and this situation to You."
Remember, if we are going to change any part of our lives, we have to start on the inside. Change always begins in the heart. Choose to overlook offense, choose love, and choose to really live the life God has prepared for you!

I get a lot of useful information over the Internet.
For instance, both Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's send me frequent updates on fishing supply deals. I get sales announcements from Target and Home Depot. The Ford dealership often reminds me that my truck is due for an oil change and other assorted—and sometimes expensive and perhaps not completely necessary—services.
The vet sends me reminders that our cats are due for their shots. The cats are never happy about that.
I get an almost weekly offer to help someone in Africa move vast amounts of money from some hidden location into my bank account. I route those to the junk mail file.
Folks from all over send me meeting announcements and updates on crop conditions, weather reports, news items and both compliments and criticisms of published articles. I read them all.
I get jokes, cartoons, spiritual advice and occasionally a note from a friend or relative.
I also get information from various organizations offering unasked-for advice, most of which are not particularly useful and go pretty quickly into the trash bin.
I recently received a bit of information, however, that I suspect will be useful, so I saved it to a folder somewhere on my computer. I probably should have read it when it first came in but I was busy doing something else so I put it in one of the many file folders I keep to hold things that I'm sure will be useful at some time or another.
I used to do the same with paper, back before electronic filing took over. I had an inbox where I put paper (hard copy) notices I thought might be of value sometime, just not right now. The inbox would invariable overflow into the out box until I determined that I would likely never get around to reading any of it and would just toss it all and start over.
That's why I thought this latest bit of information would be useful, maybe even bring on a sea change of attitude and a vow to start dealing with notices, articles, announcements and the like as soon as they come in instead of putting them into a file and then forgetting what file they're in.
This particular article was titled "Procrastination can hurt your career." I scanned the high points before I "filed" it and was eager to delve deeper into the piece as soon as I had time. I was out of the office when the article arrived, however, and was working from a hotel room following a day covering meetings. I needed to write a story or two and post them on our web page, so I didn't really have time to read the procrastination piece right away.
I do intend to read it, however—maybe tomorrow. Wait, I think I have meetings all day tomorrow, so Friday might be a better opportunity. But you know how Fridays go, so Monday looks like the first good chance to get to it, although Mondays can be pretty hectic. And I still have to remember where I filed it.
I do intend to read it, though, and put all the tips into practice. Really, no kidding.

From our Continental Correspondent – Michel Vaillant at 50
This year we celebrate the 50th birthday of Michel Vaillant, the car racer who is the star of Jean Graton's comic book series of the same name. All over the continent, Vaillant is one of the most successful comic book heroes, and millions of young boys have followed his and his friends Steve Warson and Yves Douleac's adventures, or dreamily ogled the beautiful cars that Graton designed for Vaillante, the car manufacturing company that Michel's dad Henri (and later his brother Jean-Pierre) ran.
The book is certainly the most successful one to combine car-racing and adventures, at least in Europe. There have been others, such as Alain Chevalier by Christian Denayer and A-P Duchateau, but none of them became as well known, or lasted as long as Michel Vaillant. Even though a couple of years ago a fairly successful feature film was produced, there's never been a wide-spread English translation of this comic. Which is a shame; even though it's a typically French book, the stories and especially the subject matter (car races) should appeal to any boy who's ever been eight (and to grown up boys too, of course!).
(a moment of high-octane – pun intended – drama in the latest Michel Vaillant album 24 Heures Sous Influence, (C) Graton Editeur)
Today the books are produced by a team of artists and writers, lead by Graton's son Philippe, but "papa" is still very much involved in the creation of new titles, such as the 70th one, "24 Hours Under the Influence", which was just published. By Graton Editeur, indeed, since Graton was also one of the very first to take complete control of his books by starting his own publishing house.
Strip Turnhout, the bi-annual official Flanders comics festival, wanted to honour Michel Vaillant and his creator by organising a retrospective exhibition to mark this anniversary. The show, which tells the story of the comic, but also of car racing in general, debuts on December 15th, together with this year's edition of the festival.

Also in Turnhout, the typical Belgian tradition of comics walls is held high. After cities like Brussels and Hasselt, Turnhout also gets its own comics wall, designed by Jan Van der Veken who is the current Official Artist to the city of Turnhout and in the past, amongst others, designed the Drawn and Quarterly website. You can find out more on Strip Turnhout, at the official website (in Dutch).

Hmmm… I would love to collect some these comic books. I really love car racing. Happy birthday Michel and congratulations to your success…

Easy, Elegant Braided Updo Tutorial & The Lost Art of Dress (Giveaway)
This week we are examining how we present ourselves. You know one of my mottos from Lessons from Madame Chic is "look presentable always". While this seems like a superficial goal, it is actually quite powerful. Making it our goal to look presentable every single day (whatever our best is for that day) puts out the message that we respect ourselves and the people we come in contact with. That we have the energy to put our best foot forward and that by adorning ourselves we are in our own way celebrating life.
Looking presentable should not be high-maintenance or unattainable. It should be easy and fun! Which is why I did this week's video showing you an easy, yet elegant braided updo. This tutorial is for women with medium to long hair. If you have short hair you can modify it by creating two side braids and pinning them back... play with it and find what works for you. If you are unable to see this week's video, click here, look in the sidebar of this blog or visit my channel: www.youtube.com/TheDailyConnoisseur
To continue the theme I am so happy to introduce to you The Lost Art of Dress by Linda Przybyszewski. This fascinating book explores the history (and downfall) of American dress in a witty and entertaining way. It is a book that I know many of you will love.
I was very honored to have my book blurb included on its cover:
"An invaluable resource of inspiration. The Lost Art of Dress calls us to resurrect our stylish roots and bring tasteful beauty back to our everyday routine." -Jennifer L. Scott, author of Lessons from Madame Chic
Here is the description from Amazon:
As a glance down any street in America quickly reveals, American women have forgotten how to dress. We chase fads, choose inappropriate materials and unattractive cuts, and waste energy tottering in heels when we could be moving gracefully. Quite simply, we lack the fashion know-how we need to dress professionally and flatteringly.
As historian and expert dressmaker Linda Przybyszewski reveals in The Lost Art of Dress, it wasn't always like this. In the first half of the twentieth century, a remarkable group of women—the so-called Dress Doctors—taught American women how to stretch each yard of fabric and dress well on a budget. Knowledge not money, they insisted, is the key to timeless fashion. Based in Home Economics departments across the country, the Dress Doctors offered advice on radio shows, at women's clubs, and in magazines. Millions of young girls read their books in school and at 4-H clothing clubs. As Przybyszewski shows, the Dress Doctors' concerns weren't purely superficial: they prized practicality, and empowered women to design and make clothing for both the workplace and the home. They championed skirts that would allow women to move about freely and campaigned against impractical and painful shoes. Armed with the Dress Doctors' simple design principles—harmony, proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis—modern American women from all classes could learn to dress for all occasions in a way that made them confident, engaged members of society.
A captivating and beautifully-illustrated look at the world of the Dress Doctors, The Lost Art of Dress introduces a new audience to their timeless rules of fashion and beauty—rules which, with a little help, we can certainly learn again.
Basic Books have been kind enough to offer to give away 5 copies of The Lost Art of Dress to readers of the Daily Connoisseur! Please enter via the rafflecopter widget below. This giveaway is open to US residents only (my apologies to our international readers but I do not set these guidelines).

Just to forewarn you there is explicit language in this episode (although not from me ladies :)).

Karryn S writes:
I too spent a while living in France as a student. I went there as a hippie with Birkenstocks and hair wraps, and came back...a lady. When your book was released, I devoured it, and I enjoy following your "pensees quotidiennes". Since implementing more of your concrete ideas, I've enjoyed many compliments (thank you for that!). Clutter is gone, orchids are out. Wardrobe is pared-down, as is jewelry. They seem like superficial, irrelevant things, but I have found them to be profound. Encore, merci beaucoup ma belle. N'arretez jamais!
Thank you Karryn!
Lastly, Happy Easter to all who celebrate. I hope you had a marvelous day with your family and friends. See you soon! xx

Ten-Item Wardrobe Talk-Through Spring 2014 (and Stella & Dot Giveaway!)
Thank you for your overwhelmingly positive response to last week's ten-item wardrobe video. My inbox has been filled with your wonderful comments and, of course, all of your questions. Because I've received so many comments and emails I am not able to individually respond to each one, but hopefully this week's video will answer many of your questions. This week's video is a talk through of the garments and shares with you my inspiration for this year's wardrobe and examines old and new pieces.
If you are unable to see the video above, click here, look in the sidebar of this blog, or check out my channel: www.youtube.com/TheDailyConnoisseur (make sure you subscribe!).
For links to every item pictured in this video, visit my original ten-item wardrobe post here.
Here are some FAQs from viewers:
Gina asks: Do you have a summer 10 item wardrobe too? Spring has begun here, but it 60 degrees. When summer begins for you, will this lovely spring collection still work for you in summer?
This wardrobe will take me to the end of summer. As summer approaches, I will probably use the sweaters less and less. I might purchase one or two items in the summer to supplement my wardrobe, or I might not. Last summer the only garment I purchased was the Anthropologie water color dress you see in this year's video, for example.
Lilly asks: I was wondering if you could tell us what is this beautiful music you have in the video? Thanks again for all the wonderful posts over the years :)
If you are ever curious about the music featured in my videos, or about any item featured in a video, always check my blog post or the info box below the YouTube video. I always credit an item when I can. If the specific item is no longer available online, I provide a link for the brand or retailer. The music in the ten-item wardrobe video is royalty-free and copyright-free music purchased from pond5.com and is called "Paris Love". Thank you Lilly!
Evaline asks: Your lip colour here is lovely for spring...would you mind sharing the name with us?
Many people asked about my lip color. The video was shot over a few days and I am wearing different lip colors in different shots. I used the Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo No. 6 in some shots and By Terry Bitten lip gloss in others.
Sara asks: Can I ask what you layer under sheer tops, like your Equipment blouses? A cami? In white, or do you try to find one that matches your skin tone? I have the worst time solving the "sheer issue."
I have several camisoles in beige, white and black. I find the beige ones that are closest to my own skintone look best under a slightly sheer blouse.
Alonememe asks: I don't really get this idea of extras. I understand when it comes to tank tops, underwear etc. - you need them to build the outfit, but having few tops that you wear as normal outfit is really having 20 or 30 core outfits. Could you please explain this? Why do you separate core items from extras? Is this more handy? :)
Core items vs. extras are a great way to organize your wardrobe. Think of your core items as telling a story and the extras accent this. The core items are the major items, the foundation that builds the wardrobe. The extras compliment the core.
For my readers in the Southern Hemisphere who are going into Fall/ Winter, check out Chic Mummy's blog. She has compiled a lovely Autumn ten-item wardrobe. Thank you Sarah!
For more on the ten-item wardrobe, check out my book, Lessons from Madame Chic.
Huffington Post
My ten-item wardrobe is now up on Huffington Post Style.

Lucy was kind enough to offer to give away one necklace to a reader of the Daily Connoisseur. We chose to give away the Linden necklace- a beautiful statement piece that is perfect for spring.

Ten-Item Wardrobe Spring 2014
It's finally here! My spring ten-item wardrobe video. I had a lot of fun making this video, as you will see. This wardrobe will take me from now until the end of summer. It is a combination of new and old pieces (some are very old!) and I am in love with it.
This week, you can watch the video, which is set to music and is shot fashion show-style. Take notes, enjoy the show and get inspired to curate your own ten-item wardrobe. Next week's video will be a talk through of all of the pieces so you can see where I got my inspiration, identify the old and new items and understand my thought process when putting this wardrobe together.

As always, this video is meant to provide inspiration for you. If you like some of the older looks, have fun searching for similar garments in the shops. Everything featured in this video was purchased by me, with the exception of the Wink & Winn handbag, which was sent to me to review in a forthcoming post (it's custom designed by me... very cool and we will be doing a giveaway on the blog!)

Dr. Drew strikes again...
Two years ago, I blogged about Dr. Drew being a hack, referencing his disturbing habit of "diagnosing" callers on the Loveline show within seconds of hearing their voices or exploiting patients on Celebrity Rehab while violating confidentiality clauses important to achieving sobriety and encouraging poor behavior amongst addicts instead of offering the treatment they needed.
Sadly, the situation has worsened. Two of Dr. Drew's former patients (both appeared on Celebrity Rehab) have died within the past few months: Alice In Chain's bassist Mike Starr and actor Jeff Conaway. Dr. Drew was quick to release a statement today on the passing of Conaway, disputing reports that the actor had died from an overdose by saying his death was caused by years of drug abuse (he was 60). Time will tell what the cause of death really was, but I certainly wouldn't take Dr. Drew's word for anything. These addicts were expected to 'put on a show' and be entertaining on television (bad antics = good ratings) instead of focus seriously on their treatment. Rocker Steven Tyler wrote a passage in his new book (Does the Noise in my Head Bother You?) discussing the show 'Celebrity Rehab' and sharing his anger with respect to how the show exploited his friend Steven Adler (of Guns N' Roses): "They wanted him to act out his own messed-up state when he entered rehab. It was ghoulish and unreal. They gave him 30 grand for the episode, he snorted it all, crashed his car, and he ended up in jail detox." Of the show itself, he mentions: "It didn't seem to me all that ethical using actual f**ked-up people like Steven Adler in a reality show, but who am I to say? Not to mention getting trashed celebrities to mime their own self-destructive nosedives which they then sensationalize on a melo-f**king-dramatic reality show, which so traumatizes them they end up in worse shape than ever - from the drugs they bought with the money from the show." The late DJ AM, who died of an overdose two years ago, was also a patient.
Sadly, Dr. Drew's patients are losing their lives and battles with addiction, a sad reminder of how unorthodox and completely unethical Dr. Drew's methods truly are. While it is true that many addicts relapse even when seeking treatment, one need not look further than an episode of Celebrity Rehab to understand the dangers and errors of his approach. Odd that a man who has written a book about celebrity narcissism not only promotes it on "Celebrity Rehab" but is also a prime example of it, finding his way on countless shows to break the Hippocratic Oath left and right by talking about not only his patients but also the lives of countless celebrities, commenting on their personal matters that are none of his business or concern, nor does he have the knowledge about their situations to comment as they aren't patients (just as he 'diagnosed' callers on Loveline based on a split-second call. That is NOT sound psychology, nor is it useful. Not only is this behavior not becoming a doctor, but Dr. Drew is so hungry for attention and fame he takes any opportunity to get on television to judge and exploit celebrities in trouble. This helps no one. He might as well join the cast of "The View" with all the trash-talking he engages in. (Remember when he diagnosed Joaquin Phoenix based on his infamous interview with Dave Letterman? Despite Joaquin playing a part in an elaborate hoax, Dr. Drew took the appearance seriously saying "Notice that his facial expressions are not still but rather one can see what we call flat suggesting a physiological alteration of his facial expressions due to his mental state. He was dysarthric, a specifically thick tongue that again is difficult if not impossible to mimic. And finally there was severe motor slowing which is a yet another feature of intoxication or a severe psychiatric condition such as depression." Er, wrong diagnosis, Doc. This example is a perfect demonstration of why no doctor can diagnose a stranger, nonetheless someone who isn't even a patient (nor is it ethical to tempt to do so).
I am sad that Dr. Drew is given so many TV shows and forums to express his warped priorities and opinions. He is no better than many of these television "doctors" who are more interested in attention than public service only he is far more dangerous than many as his name continues to be linked with tragedy for those under his care, as an enabler (not unlike the doctors charged in the death of Anna Nicole Smith or Dr. Murray whose inattention and mistakes led to Michael Jackson's passing). Dr. Drew may not be giving celebrities drugs, but he certainly isn't helping them get off of them when they turn to him for guidance and is enabling and encouraging bad behavior for his own reward. It is my sincere hope that the public wakes up to the dangers of doctors who suckle off of celebrities and place profits over humanity. Human life is sacred, these unfortunate individuals deserved better care.

Late in the post-production stage of "America's First Foodie," director Beth Federici, editor Greg Snider and I turned to a scene we called, unironically, "Jim Is Gay." It's not the first scene in which James Beard's sexuality is discussed, but it focuses on it most explicitly. Is the music—a deliberately sleazy stab at 70s jazz fusion / softcore porn—right for the scene? I'll let you be the judge, but I love this section ofthe film, not only for its clear-eyed look at homosexuality in the 60s and 70s, but the sexual life of a man who did not fit the stereotypes— straight or gay—of attractiveness.
Beard—the pioneering cook, author and all-around food celebrity—was important in so many ways, but it's conceivable that, 32 years after his death, the man widely regarded as "the father of American cooking" has at last found his true calling, as an unabashed and unashamed advocate for gay rights and inclusion.
Frank Bruni brought this to light in a recent op-ed entitled "Food, Sex and Silence" (which in fact refers to "America's First Foodie"). Even today, many references to Beard point out such "helpful" information as the fact that he was bald and rather portly, both of which are obviated by the briefest glance at any image of the man. What might actually be informative would be a reference to his sexuality.
As noted in "America's First Foodie," Beard "made it okay for men to cook," no small feat in and of itself. But even today, references to this titan of American food overlook the fact that he was, in fact, rather uncomplicatedly gay.
Is this even worthy of mention? Supposedly, we're in a post-identity moment, where normative sexual and gender roles are no longer critical identifying traits. The jury's most emphatically out on this count, but what isn't debatable is how different Beard's era was from ours in this regard. There was no being "out," not in the sense we take for granted today. In the relative safety of large cities, gays and lesbians enjoyed a tenuous liberty within those social groups willing to keep their open secrets. But being out in the sense of publicly identifying as homosexual? Not a chance, unless, as in the case of '20s silent film star Billy Haines, one refused to bow to the pressure—professional, societal and legal—to renounce his or true identity, and was outed. Needless to say, "being outed" is not the same as "coming out."
Of course, James Beard didn't choose his sexual identity, and in general, I'm wary of assigning too much import to any one such identifying characteristic. But what made Beard noteworthy was his insistence that it did not matter, at a time when—as far as the rest of the world was concerned—it mattered a great deal. So far as we know, he felt no less (or more) worthy on account of his innate sexuality than any other person in his place would be.
Beard was a fascinating man, and in other areas of his life, quite complicated. You can learn a great deal more about the man by checking out "America's First Foodie," which airs on PBS on May 19, 2017.

Anyway, this gorgeous home comes from the same 2005 Southern Accents issue as yesterday's post and it is just so beautiful I had to share it. Again, sorry for the image quality. It's, of course, a New Orleans home (I'm still convinced the fancy New Orleans homes are some of the most beautiful in our country) and it looks like its straight out of a Dickens novel.
That dining room might be one of my favorite dining rooms I've ever seen. My heart is racing over those burl wood Queen Anne chairs. RACING.
