What's the Latest Development?
The latest high-tech solution to finding lost items may soon be Stick-N-Find, an app that helps users keep track of objects via Bluetooth. The "stick" part is a quarter-sized sticker that contains a battery. Any items with the sticker affixed to them -- keys, TV remote controls, etc. -- can then be found via the app, which displays a representation of the sticker on a kind of radar screen if the item is within 100 feet of the smartphone. It doesn't show the exact direction to walk in, but a "Find It" feature can let the user know when the object is no longer in range, which should make locating it easier.
What's the Big Idea?
Not only is Stick-N-Find useful for finding inanimate objects, it has a feature that keeps track of animate objects as well. "Virtual Leash" allows users to specify a range of motion for an item and triggers an alert if that item -- a pet's collar or a child's backpack, for example -- moves out of range. The battery in the sticker lasts up to a year and is replaceable; in fact, it sends an alert to the app when it's running low. As of today over $134,000 has been raised on Indiegogo for the Stick-N-Find, almost double its $70,000 goal. The first devices should be released by this March.

My wife wanted a rock-wall raised flower garden put in our front yard. We had Salendar Singh come out and give us an estimate. He was nice and very professional. We told him that we had to consider other estimates. He understood. My wife and I talked for about 10 seconds and agreed that we wanted Salen's to do the job so we stopped him before he drove off and contracted to have the work done.
The workers who did the job were just like Salendar. They were nice, polite, worked hard, came when they were supposed to, communicated with us and were very professional. We are very pleased with the job and all of our neighbors say the garden looks fantastic.
We did have one problem though at the end of the job. I didn't want to call Salen's because sometimes you get grief when you've already paid. The company was amazing. Salendar came out and had a crew there very soon and they took care of the problem. No haggling or hassle or issue. They were so great about it that our opinion of the company rose even higher.
We absolutely would recommend Salen's Landscaping to anyone and we would certainly use the company again. They are fantastic!

What Makes Trust so Important for Your Team
Working in a team is fun, and it's exciting, until that first fight breaks out. That's the time when the floodgates of hidden insecurities and fear crack open. This is often the case with newly-formed teams. It isn't until people begin working together that the seeds of trust and mistrust sprout. What's the level of trust in your team?
Is trust really so important
Stephen Covey defined it as the foundation stone that can either make, else break organizations. In his book 'The speed of Trust', he states:
There is one thing that is common to every individual, relationship, team, family, organization, nation, economy, and civilization throughout the world—one thing which, if removed, will destroy the most powerful government, the most successful business, the most thriving economy, the most influential leadership, the greatest friendship, the strongest character, the deepest love.
On the other hand, if developed and leveraged, that one thing has the potential to create unparalleled success and prosperity in every dimension of life. Yet, it is the least understood, most neglected, and most underestimated possibility of our time.
That one thing is Trust. It impacts us 24/7, 365 days a year.
Why makes trust important for your team
To trust is to have faith in the honesty, integrity, reliability, and competence of another.
Stephen Covey adds:
It undergirds and affects the quality of every relationship, every communication, every work project, every business venture, every effort in which we are engaged. It changes the quality of every present moment and alters the trajectory and outcome of every future moment of our lives – both personally and professionally.
Confidence in one another, it's such a beautiful thing. The mindset of trust – where you believe in the competency of your team members, are sure that everyone would do their job diligently, and believe that people would come to your aid – empowers a positive sense of self-expectancy. It increases the chances of every team member finishing their work.
Trust fuels commitment.
Without trust – the talk of commitment – is worthless. It precedes commitment. Only a team bound together by the bonds of trust can keep commitments.
Trust makes goals achievable.
Team's success depends a lot upon the trust that the members share among themselves. Only those, who believe in their companions' strength to complete their duties, can put in their full effort.
Trust is the channel that allows effective communication.
It is the channel over which successful teams to connect. Sharing of information, ideas, problems, and solutions happens only in a team which trusts itself.
People collaborate only with those they trust.
Collaboration is working together. The sense of trust is essential for collaboration. It helps reduce the hostility among team-members, and it enables everyone to work together.
Trust is the anchor of strong teams, and successful teamwork is a product of robust relationships. It pushes people – the team members – to work with each other and conquer obstacles. Cultivating trust is necessary. It is the glue that binds people together and transforms them into a unit.

Re^2: Learning Perl Onlineby Anonymous Monk

|Need Help??
You seems to emphasize on Perl things and module constructs rather than module itself. I am looking for a knowledge 'WHAT a module can do'. The implementation is secondary. Consider Template Toolkit or CGI::Application or Moose or even List::AllUtils. A brief course on these modules can help me tremendously to use them in my practices. 'What' is often an unknown territory and cannot come fully via dialogic approach because often it will miss your observations. Unless introduced in school, we may never be able to figure out the formula of H2O unless you are genius. I am not saying that I cannot pickup Perl on my own. I am just saying a fundamental introduction of these new concepts that programming introduces on top of school learning, must be practically usable with speed to shorten the learning curve.

MANCHESTER, NH -- Renowned gravitologists Jeff and Ann VanderMeer have discovered a strangely focused gravitational force in southern New Hampshire -- a force that has prevented them from returning to their home state of Florida.
Ann VanderMeer said, "As far as we can tell, this gravitational force only affects us, though it's possible many other people are affected, and we are simply too gravitized to be able to communicate with them."
The VanderMeers discovered the force on Sunday, June 25, when they first tried to leave New Hampshire. "At that time," Jeff VanderMeer explained, "we believed the crossing of our personal gravitations with those of Eric Schaller, who was flying back to New Hampshire from Ames, Iowa, prevented our return to Florida, but that hypothesis has subsequently been contradicted by further events. We met Dr. Schaller at the Manchester airport so that we could study him in his native environment, and we discovered that his gravitational forces had only been slightly alterred by his time away, and they did not interfere with ours at all. Nonetheless, his tales of gaseous emissions supported previous evidence that Ames, Iowa has some pretty strange gravity."
Asked about their current hypothesis for their gravitational misfortunes, Ann VanderMeer said, "We expect it's a unique and coincidental convergence of forces that include, but are not limited to, one-way streets in Manchester, Matt Cheney's cat, and surprisingly effective but ostensibly insipid ways of choosing World Cup Soccer teams to root for."
"Nonetheless," Jeff VanderMeer said, "we have enjoyed being marooned in Manchester, because it has allowed us to indulge one of our other passions, which is the study of puppetry. We had no idea the puppet shows in Manchester are so varied and unique. The material we have collected here will allow us to extend our renown from the field of gravitology to the field of puppetology. We could not believe what folk singers accomplished with sock puppets. Amazing!"
The VanderMeers continue to study the gravitational forces affecting them, and hope to escape back home to Florida in the near future, or at least before the 2008 presidential primary season begins. In the meantime, care packages and hate mail can be sent to the New Hampshire State Hospital for the Gravitationally Challenged, where the VanderMeers are currently conducting their research.

"It was such a brave idea." That's how Bartle Bogle Hegarty founder John Hegarty described the #OptOutside campaign from outdoor retailer REI, which won the Grand Prix in the Titanium category at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival on Saturday. "You should not be able to see where the advertising stops and the brand starts." The Venables Bell & Partners campaign, a favorite at the festival that already won the promo and activation Grand Prix, also snagged a Gold Lion in the Integrated category Saturday.
The Integrated Grand Prix, though, went to the campaign for Netflix's "House of Cards," which was created by Mr. Hegarty's own BBH, so he recused himself from talking about the effort at the press conference, turning over the mic to his fellow judges.
WHAT THEY ARE: REI last year took the shocking step of closing its stores on Black Friday, all but a holiday for shopping in the United States, and encouraged people to go outside instead of chase deals. REI paid employees, moreover, to take the day off and go outdoors. According to the case study, social media impressions rose 7,000%, hundreds of national parks opened for free, and 1.4 million people opted to stay outside rather than go shopping on retail's biggest day.
Starcom Mediavest Group and Edelman also worked on the REI effort.
The "House of Cards" campaign cleverly played off the current American election but instead ran the show's fictional frontman, Kevin Spacey's Frank Underwood, for president. The effort made great use of the country's division over and fascination with candidate Donald Trump by, according to the case study, "hijacking the debate." The shop ran a commercial floating Underwood the candidate during one of the most-watched presidential debates and let the hasthtag and tagline "FU 2016" fly. The case study said the result was 6.6 billion impressions to date.
WHY THEY WON: The Titanium category is meant to honor "game-changers," according to the festival. Honorees are meant to break new ground, cross boundaries and move the industry forward.
When asked whether REI was more about the idea than execution, jury member Kevin Jones, exec creative director at CP&B Los Angeles, cited "the way they rolled it out and took the retail website and turned it into a place where you can discover parks." Big banners on the stores were also part of the successful execution, he said. "It grabbed you emotionally."
Deutsch North American Chief Creative Officer Pete Favat said the "House of Cards" campaign used great marketing to make the most of what he called the "shitstorm" of a presidential election. (Britain's vote Thursday to exit the EU may have surpassed the U.S. spectacle, he noted, adding, "Thank you to the U.K.")
CONTROVERSY OR CLEAR WINNER: "My jury was without question the most horrible jury anybody ever had to work with," Mr. Hegarty joked by way of opening. "They were viscous, nasty, backstabbing and they even fired a Champagne cork at me." He then went on to lampoon as a potential close contender for Titanium a campaign in which a seagull drones "fly across the beach and shit suntan cream from Nivea" on children. "This is the cutting edge of technology and brand integration," he deadpanned, "and I think they are teaming up with the Royal National Institute of the Blind because if you get it in your eyes you need special attention."
Not letting up, he called the Nivea ad the most stupid thing he had ever seen in his life. "I thought the Monty Python team had gotten together and entered it."
In actuality, the other close contender for the Grand Prix in Titanium was INGO Stockholm's The Swedish Number effort for the Swedish Tourist Association, which won the Grand Prix in the direct category earlier in the festival
As for Integrated, Mr. Favat said there was absolutely no debate. "It was by far a slam dunk as far as communication," he said.
HOT TOPIC AT PRESS CONFERENCE: Mr. Hegarty said that, while it might be controversial, his belief is that "in the rush to communicate, we are forgetting how to create things that genuinely move people." He said that "the value of what we do is not being appreciated by the audience -- that is not my opinion, it is that of the audience -- and we need to move the value of the advertising and communication onward."
WHAT THE JURY LIKED: "We awarded work in both categories that is trying to become part of the cultural zeitgeist," said Mr. Hegarty. Good advertising, he said, needs to consider "How can I make my brand part of what is happening in the world?"
There was also discussion about craft. "Advertising is 80% idea and also 80% execution," said Mr. Hegarty. "When I looked for a Grand Prix, good craft played a very important part of them. The idea that it doesn't matter how it is executed is something you have to fight against." He added: "We are all artists, but some of us shouldn't exhibit, and you get the feeling some of us shouldn't be exhibiting. It is a sad thing when you see great ideas badly executed. Hopefully we are seeing a rise of craft. "
OTHER DISCUSSION: Mr. Hegarty was asked about trends and responded, "That is the brutal question where you say 'Oh my God, I have to think of a trend.'" He then followed up with a made up one: Millennials are over -- "They are now getting very old."

starring Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver, Dileep Rao
screenplay by Sam Raimi & Ivan Raimi
directed by Sam Raimi
by Ian Pugh The Evil Dead was one of the primary altars at which I prayed as a young student of the cinematic arts--a vital entry in that education for how it left me shocked, nay, stupefied that such a work could actually exist, with its twitching limbs and tree-rapes and fountains of oatmeal ichor. How did they get away with that stuff? So it goes, I think, with Sam Raimi's best efforts, these four-colour horror comics put on film, blindsiding you with their towering insanity before you can understand just how deeply they'll worm into your psyche with their sadness and panic. Sounds incredibly petty to say, but I have to admit that when he found mainstream success and acceptance with the Spider-Man franchise, a little piece of that anarchic spirit died for me. Raimi himself was transparently nostalgic for it in Spider-Man 3, a decidedly misguided attempt to hark back to the themes of his original superhero masterpiece, Darkman.

Detail of Rock Thryptomene, Margaret River region. The relationships and spaces formed between the living and the inanimate often create a fascinating visual harmony. These wind pruned, stunted coastal Rock Thryptomene sit high on granite sea cliffs just north of Margaret River. Their tendril like branches of rough, fibrous bark and miniature hard spiky leaves are further testament to this harsh environment. The cliff tops are exposed to the height of winter gales which sweep up from deep within the Southern Ocean, sometimes with hurricane force. Grasping a root hold in shallow soil depressions between boulders, their branches spread outwards, caressing the very surface of their rocky domain, twisting and curving back upon themselves in a graceful, almost calligraphy like gesture.
The exposure information is as follows: Film was Tmax 400, 4×5 format, 90mm lens, f32, 1 second exposure, developed N+1. I was interested in experimenting with the contrast of a duplicate negative by toning it in Kodak Rapid Selenium toner diluted 1+3. I toned initially for 3 minutes, but could not detect any change in density, so continued up to 10 minutes. There was still no change so I tried straight toner for two minutes without dilution, still no affect. When I contact print both negs side by side there is no difference. I have only recently started using TMax 400 4×5 film, and this is the first time I have ever tried toning it. Previous toning has worked with Tri X 4×5. Maybe it is something to do with the chemical state or silver content of processed TMax films? (This is the New TMax film).

Sheep in a Jeep illustration will appear here.
This book was very funny because the sheep end up having so much trouble with the car. My favorite part was when the car went flying in the mud. The sheep in the book reminded me of my brother because he is always walking around with his scooter, or a wagon which all have wheels. I read this book before and that is why I chose it. I like to read books that I have read before. I found out that this book was easier for me to read.
There is something funny on every page, so I do recommend this book. My whole family would like this book because we are all related and we all like to read funny books.

I probably have been a tad glib about my feelings towards performance enhancing drug usage in baseball. In truth I was somewhat bothered when some of my favorite players from childhood and adolescence turned up on the Mitchell Report (Andy Pettitte and Randy Velarde among them). It hurts a little when you find out the heroes of your youth aren't everything you thought they were.
I wish something could be done to keep PEDs out of the game. It's just completely implausible. No one has yet developed an accurate test for HGH; And HGH is already old hat. Attempting to keep up with the designer drugs is utterly useless. They aren't going away.
So, as a fan I have a couple options. I can cut off my nose to spite my face and stop watching baseball or I can get over it. I choose the latter.

Best Selling Products and Top Selling Items to Sell Online on Ebay, Amazon, Shopify or your own Website.
What to Sell Online ?
Finding the best selling products and top profitable items to sell online on Ebay, Amazon or your own website can be a challenge when starting or expanding your online business.
Knowing what products to sell will increase your chances of success, and its better to sell the proven products that everyone is buying. Listing popular items is best because you know there is ongoing proven demand from customers repeatedly buying online. Niche products, seasonal items and trending products can often leave you with unsold inventory, or even worse selling at a loss. Make sure buyer demand exists.
Sucessful sellers buy from wholesale suppliers and sell at retail to make a profit. Know your product, and research your intended customer demographic and geographic.
The best products to sell are those with lower seller competition. Categories such as Fashion, Jewellry and Electronics should be avioded by new sellers as the existing seller competition is based on very low profit margins. Other products such as those on the list are products from categories that sell very well and frequently, and usually products you have not given a lot of thought in your research. Some products are so obvious you will not believe more sellers are not selling them !
Your Success Relies you.
Selling online is probably not a business that you can start with no money. Any business will cost money to set up and be successful. Many people give up too easily, give it time, test, experiment, advertise and have patience. If you look in the local mall or online the most successful businesses are selling a variety of products. The exception is the category killer stores that specialise in one retail category.
What you start selling now will be different to what you sell online in a years time. You just have to start the ball rolling and not over think about or over analyise what you are going to sell. You are better to just pick a few popular products and spend your time listing them. Your geographical location and customer demographics will be important to your product selection. For example women between 18 and 35 tend to purchase more online.
Also look at how you are going to package and ship your products. Do your customers really want to wait 4 weeks for a grey package from China, or could you offer faster shipping and have a nicer package, while charging a higher price and making a good profit. If you are planning on drop shipping from China is your customer willing to wait, only to see the price you paid for it on the customs declaration form attached to the parcel.
E commerce is a trillion dollar a year industry and growing fast !

OCEAN RIDGE — No one remembers when the masked bandits first moved into town. Maybe because they were guilty mostly of just stealing affection.
As time passed, their numbers grew. With their growing numbers came daily rituals of people who wanted to see them in action. Mothers brought their children to watch. Boyfriends brought their girlfriends. People came alone, bringing with them handouts and cameras.
But too much of a good thing is still too much, so an expert has been called in to help eradicate the problem.
The expert is ``Trapper Ed`` Chancey, who runs a wildlife relocation service. His mission here: Decrease the raccoon population of this oceanfront town by at least 30 members.
``This is growth control. We`re right along with the times,`` said Town Manager Lester Baird.
Chancey was hired by the Town Commission last week after months of complaints from residents escalated to the point that outside help had to be sought.
``For months, we`ve had complaints from residents of (raccoons) tearing screens, getting into swimming pools and generally being a nuisance,`` Baird said. ``We`ve also read a lot of articles about rabies. Although we haven`t heard of anyone being bitten (here), there`s always the possibility.``
Chancey wasn`t worried too much about rabies Wednesday afternoon. His first day on the job for Ocean Ridge, he had the raccoons eating out of his hands.
The raccoons were eating dog food pellets provided by Garfield Sheppard. Sheppard lives across Midlane Road from the two-acre wildlife preserve, owned by the National Wildlife Federation, where the raccoons flourished.

Novak Djokovic had to work hard in the first two sets to break down big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic.
The pair had played a very close match in Rome just before the French Open, with Raonic winning the first set before losing in three.
This time Djokovic, who is chasing a first French Open title, had the edge in the tight moments and came through to win 7-5 7-6 (7/5) 6-4.
Raonic saved a set point at 4-5 in the first but could not save a second two games later, a dipping backhand pass forcing the Canadian to volley wide.
There were no break points at all in the second set but the tie-break went the way of Djokovic, who claimed the crucial mini-break to lead 6-4.
With that the Canadian's hopes appeared to have gone and Djokovic raced into a 5-1 lead in the third.
Raonic mounted a mini comeback with a first break of the Djokovic serve in the match but the Serbian snuffed it out to book his spot in a fourth consecutive French Open semi-final.
Ernests Gulbis followed up his victory over Roger Federer by dumping out Tomas Berdych to set up a French Open semi-final against Novak Djokovic.
Far from suffering a let down after the biggest win of his career, Gulbis came out and played even better, thumping sixth seed Berdych 6-3 6-2 6-4.
The Latvian was playing in his first grand slam quarter-final for six years and will now meet second seed Djokovic in his maiden semi-final.
Even if he loses that, Gulbis will be close to a top-10 spot in the rankings when they are updated on Monday.
The 25-year-old, whose love of a good time had looked like it would stop him reaching his potential, joked he would go out and celebrate given he has two days until he plays the semi-final.

Afraid that a new developer will try to buy the American Can Co. property on Boston Street and build a project the Canton community doesn't want, area residents have come up with their own plans for the site.
Members of the Waterfront Coalition, a neighborhood group that monitors development in East Baltimore, unveiled plans last night that call for the former canning-factory property to be converted to a mixed-use project containing low-cost housing for the elderly, a supermarket, neighborhood-oriented shops and a public plaza.
The purpose of the 10-month planning process, coalition members say, is to show what the community would consider acceptable for the 9-acre parcel, one of the largest development sites in Canton, and possibly avert any plans that would be unacceptable to the community.

What a blessing to have received such incredible training through AMTC.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 17, 2013
From Dallas, TX, they auditioned for and attended AMTC's SHINE bi-annual conference in Orlando, Florida - just a year and a half ago. Now, Logan, the eldest son is not only doing commercials, but shooting film as well. All four kids have shot national commercials and their parents, Luke and Shannon book regular print ads as well.
According to an AMTC team leader, she says that "In addition to talent, they are one of the best family's I have worked with or met. They are true examples of walking it out as a mission field!" The Burton's are currently with Clutts Agency, in Dallas.
Just a short month after attending the Winter 2012 SHINE conference, the Burton family signed with The Clutts Agency went on an audition that brought over 450 people. The whole family booked a print ad for YJ USA (a trampoline company). In fact, Tag, the youngest boy, was considered too young to audition, but when they brought him along he ended up getting most of the camera attention. The family also booked a broadcast commercial.
They have been busy shooting commercials for: Mazzio Pizza, Chuck E Cheese, Beall, JC Penney and Supersoaker too name just a few.
The family was also involved in the filming of "8 DAYS" - an independent film bringing awareness to child sex trafficking. Shannon says, "What a blessing to be involved in such an incredible film...Praying that God will do awesome things in and through this film." And she explained that the "cast and crew...hope to...provide safe houses for the children that are rescued from this crime."
Faith Anna played a kidnapped child, Luke portrayed a Homeland Security Officer, and Shannon was the Doctor who admits Amber after she has been rescued.

A: 120/60 is a really good blood pressure, its not low at all, mine varies between 110/70 and 100/60 and this is not low for me, its only when the lower range approaches 50 that it would cause problems, most likely dizziness. It sounds like your sister needs to get a physical so she can learn her true blood pressure and be ready to play soccer. 120/80 is a perfect blood pressure.

low blood pressure or low sugar level?
A: Hi Joost: Sounds more like low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) than low blood pressure. Many people suffer from a condition known as rebound hypoglycemia. What happens is that once you eat a meal with a significant amount of carbohydrates your pancreas secretes insulin which lowers your blood glucose levels. The key to dealing with this is to eat meals with a larger amount of protein and less simple carbs. The protein has a lesser effect on the blood glucose and pancreas. I have the same problem and have resorted to eating more protein in the...

Hong Kong director Andrew Lau's last few films include a Chinese romantic comedy, a thriller starring Richard Gere and Claire Danes and a South Korean melodrama that he had to learn Korean to direct.
"Korean is difficult to learn so I forced myself," he said in a recent interview in Toronto. "I got the script [for
Daisy] and I got it translated into Chinese. I pretended to jump into their world, pretended to understand their language … I like that kind of challenge."
One might assume that with his new film,
Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen, a sequel of sorts to the 1972 Bruce Lee film
Fist of Fury, he would have found himself on more comfortable ground.
Not so, he said.
"Chen Zhen, everyone knows. Ah, it's Bruce Lee. I'm a great fan. He's a great hero, a great idol. This is a lot of pressure. If you shoot Chen Zhen and it's not that good, everybody will think, 'Hey, Andrew Lau, go back to school to learn again.'
"When we started to shoot this project, I said, this must be a totally different story."
Legend of the Fist, which is screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, is not a traditional kung-fu revenge movie.
Chen, played by Asian superstar Donnie Yen, has joined the Labours Corps during the First World War. After he beats up snipers and soldiers armed with bayonets, he returns to Shanghai where he infiltrates a nightclub (a hub for mobsters, spies and military officials) and staves off Japanese invasion as a masked warrior.
"It's not just the hero killing the Japanese [fighter] who killed his master. It's not that simple," he says. "We were careful to balance the action scenes and the drama scenes. I thought of a lot of interesting things to put in the movie."
He wanted the images of 1920s Shanghai to be stunning. He wanted to upgrade the image of Chen, to model the character more after James Bond, a suave, piano-playing, crime fighter.
The film does feature an homage to the famous dojo scene where Bruce Lee as Chen defends the honour of the Chinese by beating up a roomful of Japanese fighters.
"[Fight scenes are] easy for a Hong Kong filmmaker because every day, ha ha ha," he says, miming kung-fu moves from his seat. "Sometimes a stuntman was not enough so we would go in at that moment. We were young; we wanted to do everything."
As a boy, Lau loved to take photos. After high school, he answered a newspaper ad for a production assistant at the legendary Shaw Brothers Studio in Hong Kong in 1981.
Since, he has worked as a cinematographer, director and producer on more than 40 films including the acclaimed Infernal Affairs which became a trilogy and inspired
The Departed, directed by Martin Scorsese.
He describes his next film as a sad love story "that will make the audience cry."
"I don't want to work on the same style of movies again and again. Like Obama says, we have to change. I feel it's so boring. I need something new."
Legend of the Fistscreens on Sept. 18, 9 a.m., at Varsity 8.

French fashion sets the trend worldwide. Paris remains the capital of fashion. Innovative fashion brands perpetuate the famous Parisian style that turns all women into models. The best fashion brands and stores in the city. Shopping in Paris.
Fashion is all about women. Paris women love fashion but are not a slave to short-lived fads. It is all about a timeless, well-cut, classic look. They are obsessed over cut. No dowdy jackets, too tight pants, or ill-fitting dresses allowed. They dress for their body type and ensure clothes hug in all the right areas. They have mastered slim-fitting clothing that creates and accentuates curves and tailor the slightest details for perfect measure.
They love to be feminine without being overly sexy or entertaining excessive extras. They focus on the finer details and as a result the whole appears seamless and effortlessly sophisticated. They own less but better quality clothing. Their attention is not based on price but on value. They don't dress down, own hoodies, or go to the bakery in yoga pants. They dress for themselves, aim to feel good and do a great job looking fresh and flawless. All in all, women spend a lot of time and money for looking good.
French fashion is setting the trend with icon brands such as Chanel, Dior, Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent. All these French fashion brands are based in Paris. Many lesser known French fashion brands such as Cyrillus, Armor Lux, Tara Jarmon, Comptoir des Cotonniers, Sézane, turn Paris into one of the most creative fashion cities in the world. All these fashion brands have their main store in Paris. During your Paris trip, find the best French fashion.
Discover the very best French fashion brands.
Most French fashion luxury brands have their main store in Avenue Montaigne or Rue du Faubourg Saint Honore, both in the dynamic Champs-Elysees Avenue shopping district. The left bank around Rue de Sevres has many French fashion stores, including the incredible Hermes store, 17, rue de Sevres. Marais shopping is trendy and shops are mostly open on Sundays, as Champs Elysees shops do.
Look for French high-end jewelry on exclusive Rue de la Paix. Complete your shopping with French perfume brands.
It is often intimidating to discover French fashion alone. The trendy Elss Collection concept store near Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysees in Paris organizes workshops where you will discover the secrets of the Parisian woman's style.
You will be welcomed by a true professional stylist team and experience a unique moment in this unusual shop. A stylist team will show you this concept store dedicated to fashion and offering an impressive collection of leading international luxury brands. This is the place to be for active and elegant Parisian women, who wish to supplement their wardrobe.
Immerse yourself in the Parisian style universe and step into the shoes of a Parisian woman. During this workshop you will discover the art of dressing up like a Parisian and attend a lecture about the Parisian style. It is also possible to buy fashion clothes on the spot with a 10% rebate.
One of the French attributes of elegance is the handbag women carry in all circumstances. As many women buy at least a handbag each year, a number of typically French handbag brands are competing fiercely to provide the best quality and stay at the top of what is fashionable in Paris. Louis Vuitton and Longchamp (Le Pliage handbag) are the most famous French handbag brands in Paris. Gerard Darel, Nat Et Ninn, Vanessa Bruno, La Petite Mendigote, Jerome Dreyfuss are among the best brands.
The top French handbags brands.
Until the Second World War, no self-respecting man or woman in Paris left the house without a hat. Hats were an essential attribute of elegance imposing one person's style and a key fashion item. Famous milliners could turn into full-blown fashion designers such as Chanel and Lanvin. In the 1960s, hats completely fell out of fashion as part of the radical clothing revolution across the western world.
Fortunately, hats are coming back to the City of Light.
Chloe Thieblin, who founded Mademoiselle Chapeaux in 2011, is part of this revival. She began her own production in downtown a few years ago and is now doing brisk business. She first rented hats for great occasion such a weddings and parties. Now, she is selling hats that are deliciously French. The hats of Mademoiselle Chapeaux are cute and affordable French fashion to bring back home.
Paris metro: Bastille, Saint Paul, line 1. Paris map.
Most interesting fashion items are designed for women. There is one man fashion item that is really back in Paris: the Noeud Papillon as it is deliciously named in French. A French bow tie is something cute and affordable you can buy for yourself or offer a friend. Colonel Moutarde is fully dedicated to bow ties.
Paris metro: Chatelet, line 1 and 4. Paris map.
Among the French brands of kids clothing such as Bonpoint and Jacadi, we like the new and little known Charlotte sy Dimby brand. Charlotte sy Dimby has limited collections of handmade clothes, baby-wear for girls and boys, smocked dresses for girls. Their limited editions of smocked and embroidered dresses are cute. The style is chic and sweet bringing back nostalgia for our much loved childhood garments. The embroideries are traditionally made with embroidery hoops. Top quality.
Paris metro: Vavin, line 4. Paris map.
Founded in late 19th century, the Department Stores have always sold the best of what Paris is famous for: high end French fashion brands, lingerie, jewellery, French perfume brands and tableware. Their key advantages are central location, large choice of top brands for quick shopping, tax refund, personal shopper, delivery to hotels and abroad.In a few hours, choose from many fashion brands in a confortable environment. We prefer Le Bon Marche on the left bank and Galeries Lafayette on the right bank.

You have control over what each web page URL will look like. On most generic content management systems, web page URL's are session IDs (ex. www.website.com/content=?p=101) making it difficult to know what the web page is about when viewing just the URL. With search engine friendly URLs the same page will be displayed as 'my-custom-business.html' so that the page theme is contained within the URL name. This is better for both the search engines and your customers.
These are important in having your web pages properly indexed and informing the search engines which pages are available for crawling.

Each page on your website should and will have unique META Titles, Meta Descriptions and META keywords plus unique page headers. These components are important indicators to the Search Engines of what each page is about and are often displayed in Google Search Result Pages, improving your click-through-rate.
It is crucial to have a website that displays and functions properly on small, finger controlled mobile devices for both your visitors and Search Engines. In fact, the Search Engines discriminate against non-mobile friendly websites in mobile search results. All of our Web Design packages include a mobile-friendly version of your website.
Website speed is also very important for how the Search Engines and access and rank your website. Your visitors also like to use a fast website and are not willing to wait for more than a couple of seconds for your website to load. Our site designs include site speed optimization best practices.
