Phone: (619) 688-6723, Cell (858) 688-1431
SAN DIEGO – Caltrans today awarded $66 million to cities, counties, and regional agencies for 139 Safe Routes to School (SRTS) projects to improve safety for students in grades K-8 who walk and bicycle to and from school.
"By improving safety, more children are encouraged to walk and bicycle to school, ultimately resulting in healthier children and less traffic congestion," said Acting Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.
The funding was provided by the federal SRTS program. Since its inception in 2005, Caltrans has awarded $156 million for 356 SRTS projects.
Some of the notable projects in Orange County that received funding include:
The San Diego Unified School District and the National School District in National City will each receive $500,000 to create school-based safety education programs.
The city of El Cajon will use $362,900 to upgrade crosswalks, sidewalks and install speed feedback signs.
Twelve grants totaling almost $5 million will be shared between 11 jurisdictions in San Diego County.
Caltrans works closely with a diverse group of state, local, and regional stakeholders representing transportation, health, education, law enforcement, and bicycle/pedestrian advocates.

Report by Anders Christian Madsen on 1 March 2014.
Between the man playing the guitar apparatus with strings tied to the huge organ, the lady singing the song, the beaming models walking in synchronised procession, and the bags that folded out into fabric slinkies and eventually turned into dresses, the Autumn/Winter 2014 show was a playful exercise in how far you can push the fashion show format.
Complete surprise when models opened their handbags and pulled out each pleated dress look at #IsseyMiyake #pfw http://t.co/ZuxiIVdFxz

ATB: pre-Thanksgiving Pass/FailPosted by rtmsf on November 27th, 2008
We're really not in the mood for this tonight, so it's going to be short/sweet. Either you pass or fail, that's the deal.
Game of the Night. UNC 102, Notre Dame 87.
- Notre Dame. EPIC FAIL. Carolina shot 58% on you. Just. Go. Home.
- Tyler Hansbrough. PASS. He's back (34/5 on 13-19 shooting).

Not sure on what you want here. You can either reset the current error count or you can clear the log. Those are 2 completely different operations that are independent of one another.

You are completely correct. I had to follow the original layout. Only graphics (and several 4-way border issues) were updated.Reed Jones wrote:Your post was hard to understand but I finally figured it out. The Montreal map is fine as it is and just had a Revamp. During Revamp process the map maker Rocksolid did not want it changed at all execpt for a graphic overhaul. If you want to make your own Montreal map go ahead but we already have one and it not going to change.
Actually Oaktown, this thread is the official revamp thread for Montreal. And the attack routes are the same as the original just three areas we edited to eliminate 4 way borders. See first post or this quote from first postoaktown wrote:the attack routes match the map, so there's no bug. If you think this should be changed, check out the montreal revamp thread and make a suggestion.

WidowMakers wrote:I have been working with RockSolid for over a week. Here are my initial drafts of the large and small.
RockSolid has specific requirements:
*keeping the colors the same for both the lakes water and the territories.
*No army circles
*He wants the feel of the map to be the same just touched up and updated.
*He was very specific about maintaining the borders of teh territories to be as close as possible to the actual municipalities.
The original Montreal map had several 4 way corners
1) Beaconsfield/Kirkland/Baie d'Urfe/Ste-Anne,
2) Plateau/Hochelaga/Rosemont/Downtown, and
3) Anjou/St-Leonard/Riviere-des-Prairies/Mtl-Nord
Those have been eliminated and now are:
1)Kirkland now borders Baie d'Urfe (minimum impact on movement. This was the prefered border fo RockSolid)
2)Plateau now borders Hochelaga (this does not impact gameplay becasue Platue only borders Rosemont and Downtown. If Downtown were to border Rosemont, the movement throught Ville-Marie would be affected.
3)St-Leonard now borders Riviere-des-Prairies (This arrangement keeps the number of border territories the same. Connecting Anjou and Mtl-Nord would have increased the borders of Bout de I'lle by 1.)
I talked about the 4 way corners and adjusted them, as posted above, to RockSolid's liking.
XML is unchanged except for the edited 4-ways and coordinates of the new numbers.

Could be worse
A co-worker told me Obamacare is "messing up the country." I replied that making health care available to more of our fellow citizens is actually "fixing up the country." I was struck by how nice it is that we were discussing the minutia of the insurance industry, as opposed to subjects that concerned us in the near-recent past.
It has been some time since we analyzed the plummeting Dow Jones index. We no longer have to discuss the body bags returning from Iraq. Despite the wishes of some of our senators, we do not have to talk about body bags returning from Iran or Syria. This is undeniably a good thing for everyone.
Most people would rather have our most pressing issue be health insurance rates; as opposed to when we were concerned with collapsing buildings and the resulting thousands of casualties. We should be happy we no longer have to talk about the economy shedding thousands of jobs each month.
Given the alternative topics from recent history, I am glad to discuss the changes taking place in our health care system; changes which will make health care better. Recent newspaper coverage leads me to believe Hays Medical Center shares my outlook concerning the future of American health care, as they expand buildings and services. I am glad Sen. Jerry Moran was in town to see this optimism first hand.

Long to be a land baron, with acres of lush grounds to create the ultimate outdoor paradise? That may be a dream for another time. For now, a smaller space is your reality, but that doesn't mean it can't be amazing. These 7 tricks will help your small yard live large.
Don't be scared of trees
While a towering live oak may not be the right choice for your smaller yard, you don't have to give up on trees altogether just because you don't have acreage. Japanese maple and ornamental crabapple are just a few great options that will bring some color to your outdoor space. Our favorite: the crape myrtle, which maintains a manageable size and, "It's hard to beat the showy summer flowers, beautiful bark, and brilliant fall color," said Sunset.
Consider the scale
That patio set at Costco might be great deal, but how are that huge glass-topped table and eight rocker chairs going to look on your mini deck? There are plenty of options for small-space patio sets, and if you're looking to create an outdoor living room, building in the seating in this yard creates a welcoming seating area and keeps the rest of the space open.
Go diagonal
Finding the right hardscape material is only the beginning. How you lay it can make a big difference in the overall impact in your yard. "Creating a view along the diagonal of the property creates the illusion that the space is bigger than it looks," said HGTV. "Here, the diagonal path with steps traces a zigzag line through the garden, providing areas to linger and enjoy the wide beds and colorful plantings."
Go vertical
Vertical gardens have been one of the top trends for outdoor spaces for a few years and are perfect for smaller spaces or yards where the floor space is limited. There are all kinds of fun planters you can use for a mix of greenery and flowers, or choose a climbing variety. "Liven up a plain patio wall with a sun-seeking climber, like bougainvillea," said Good Housekeeping. "A simple stake in the dirt is all the trellis you'll need."
Divide it up
You may think that the less you place in the yard, the larger it will seem. But think about how a house looks with no furniture; that emptiness doesn't always translate to roominess. Placing things randomly throughout the yard might not create the feel you want, so think strategically. "It may seem counterintuitive, but by dividing your yard into zones using garden beds and landscaping, you actually give the illusion of space," said Aussie Green Thumb. "Consider creating areas that are essentially a series of rooms, such as an outdoor paved area, a lawn section and then gardens of varying heights. This means when you look at the yard from any angle, you don't know what is around the corner and it could go on forever. It's about creating mystery and allure."
Play with varying heights throughout
The gardens are a great place to start, but you don't have to stop there. This multi-level deck creates so much interest that the size of the space becomes an afterthought.
Create a container garden
Container gardening makes even the smallest outdoor space game for some greenery. "No space? No problem! You can grow flowers, herbs, and even vegetables in pots," said Rodale's Organic Life. "Container gardening is ideal for those with little or no garden space. In addition to growing flowers, gardeners limited to a balcony, small yard, or only a patch of sun on their driveway can produce a wide variety of vegetable crops in containers containers. Basil, chives, thyme, and other herbs also are quite happy growing in pots, which can be set in a convenient spot right outside the kitchen door."

Research reveals mislaid microprocessor megahertz
The more CPUs speed up, the more they slow down
April Fool It's no wonder we need to upgrade our computers on a regular basis. Not only are chip companies regularly releasing ever-faster microprocessors, but new research has revealed that modern CPUs actually lose megahertz over time.
This startling conclusion follows a five-year research programme carried out by the Illyria University's Information Technology department.
"Five years ago, we activated a dozen new, freshly-purchased systems," said Computer Science Professor Asteio Artikolos. "Since then we have measured, on average, a 10-15 per cent reduction in the machines' clock speeds over that time. It's as if each machine's stock of megahertz were somehow leaking away.
"Each year, we have added new, faster machines. Not only have these seen a similar reduction over time in the number of processing cycles available each second, but the rate of decrease is greater than older, slower microprocessors."
So far Artikolos and his team have been unable to explain the phenomenon. One possibility is that the effect is related to the time dilation effect discovered by Einstein. Any moving body operates on a different temporal frame of reference than a static one, said Artikolis. As processors are clocked higher, so their transistors move more quickly, altering their apparent speed when measured by benchmarkers in a state frame of reference.
"It's certainly the case that many computer users notice a decrease in performance over time," Artikolos told Register Hardware. "A machine that seemed incredibly fast on the day of purchase seems torpid within three years. Traditionally, this was blamed on reduced free hard drive space and the increased memory requirements of software updates. Our research suggests a more fundamental problem, one that centres on the very way modern microprocessors operate."
Artikolos' findings pose an interesting question: where exactly are all these megahertz ending up? More research, he said, was needed.
Intel was unavailable for comment. AMD, however, claimed to be well aware of the problem and to be already designing processors capable of working beyond the limits of Einsteinian mathematics - with a negative temporal displacement facility built in.

The year 2012 tied 1989 for the hottest in overall average temperature in Tucson, the National Weather Service reports, at 71.4°. It was also the the 10th hottest summer on record.
J.J. Brost, science and operations officer with the weather service's Tucson office, also says the monsoon was "average" and the winter was a snowbird's dream.
Brost summarized the year in Tucson weather, based on official readings at Tucson International Airport. He says the five months from May 1 to Sept. 30 were the 10th hottest ever. The peak was two straight days at 109°, Aug. 12 and 13. A total of 73 days were 100° or above.
The warm streak extended almost to the holiday season. In fact, Brost says, November was the seventh warmest on record for that month. And even with a mid-December cold snap, Brost says, "...we're likely to see about the third warmest November-December period on record."
As for the monsoon, it will go down as average, at least at the airport's rain gauge, where 6.02" of rain fell. The average is 6.07". Some areas recorded a lot more, and some less.
Overall, Brost says, it was fairly indicative of the season.
"It wasn't one particular event that dumped a bunch of rain," he says. "We had a whole bunch of events throughout the year, and maybe one or two stronger events. In general it was a nice, persistent monsoon, and we ended with around an average amount of rain."
Brost also checked the latest data from the Climate Prediction Center, which recently issued forecasts for January and the first quarter of 2013.
"Not much in the way of good news there," he says. "More warmer-than-normal potential and drier-than-normal potential. Hopefully it's wrong. Hopefully we will get a few storms and give us some beneficial rainfall and snowfall, but at this point, it's looking to be dry and warm."
Brost does have some minor good news about the ongoing drought. He says Arizona is ranked between moderate and extreme drought categories, and no part of the state is considered extreme.
But, he says, drought conditions are predicted to remain persistent through the first quarter.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – After seven months of hard training since the school year began, the spring racing season is finally here for the Yale heavyweight crew team. The crew has just finished a stretch of double sessions over Yale's two-week spring break and will soon be in the midst of the spring racing season, ready to cash in on all the hard work the team has put in over the winter. This year the Bulldogs have the usual lineup of four dual races, followed by the Eastern Sprints, IRA National Championships, and this year finishing with the Yale-Harvard Regatta.
Leading the team this year are six seniors: Tom Lynam, Philippe Mastroyannis, captain Jon Morgan, Harry Picone, Grant Stegelmann and Ian Suvak. These six athletes are setting the example in giving full measure in each workout and on each piece.
"We have been devoted to our training, had tremendous camps and really come together as a fast squad," said Morgan. "Now everyone is extremely fired up and excited to kick off the racing season with our first dual race against Brown in Providence next week."
But new this year is that alongside this group of seniors are the members of the Class of 2016. At the end of last season the IRA Stewards voted to allow first-year students to race in varsity boats. As a result, this season the freshman class is not confined to racing in the freshman eight category. Already a number of freshmen have climbed the ranks and are mixing in with the seniors, juniors and sophomores in all three varsity eights.
This past fall the Bulldogs featured at the Head of the Housatonic Regatta and the Head of the Charles Regatta. At the Charles, Yale fielded boats in three events: a championship four, championship eight and club eight, finishing second in the latter. Fall training on the Housatonic River also included a mini-training camp during Yale's fall break in October before the team took to the ergs in Payne Whitney Gymnasium.
In 2013 the heavyweights started the year off right, convening on New Years Day in Stuart, Fla., for a 10-day winter training trip. The Bulldogs put in hard work on Florida's Gold Coast, logging two-a-days on the St. Lucie River before returning to New Haven the keep the training going.
The spring season opens next week when Yale travels to Providence to take on Brown. The two teams will be racing on Friday, Mar. 29, on the Seekonk River. This race is something of a homecoming for Head Coach Steve Gladstone, who served as head coach at Brown from 1981-1994, as well as assistant coach Joel Scrogin, who was an assistant coach at Brown from 2004 to 2007.
After a weekend off the next race on the schedule is against Dartmouth at home for the Olympic Axe on Apr. 13. The heavyweights have not lost this matchup since the two teams started racing for the trophy in 2004, and last year was no exception.
The following weekend Yale hits the road to defend the Blackwell Cup, racing on assistant coach Sam Baum's home course at Penn with Columbia on Saturday, Apr. 20. This cup has been in Yale's possession each year that the Class of 2013 has been on the crew and so the seniors will seek to defend this trophy.
The Bulldogs will then go after the Carnegie Cup against Cornell and Princeton on Apr. 27. The race is at home this year, as it was three years ago when Yale last claimed the cup. In 2011 at Princeton the Tigers won this race, and last year at Cornell the Big Red defended its home course for the win. The Bulldogs will want to keep this trend going and capture the Carnegie Cup in what will be the final race to determine seedings for the Eastern Sprints.
After the dual races are done the team will have three weeks to recollect before going up against everyone in the east. This year's Eastern Sprints will be May 19, and the Bulldogs will be looking to improve on last year's eight-place finish in the varsity eight.
The team will then head out west, travelling to Sacramento, Calif., for this year's IRA National Championships. The regatta will take place over three days from May 30 – June 1 on Sacramento's Lake Natoma.
Finally the season will wrap up with the Yale-Harvard Regatta, coming after the IRA's in the schedule for the first time since 2009. The 148th edition of this matchup – the oldest intercollegiate sporting event in the country – will be held on Sunday, June 9 in New London, Conn.

Moneyball writer Michael Lewis is traveling on Air Force One today, working on a new Vanity Fair piece about President Barack Obama, according to a White House pool report.
We don't know any details about the upcoming story, but we're curious to know whether the piece is part of Lewis' canon of work about the 2008 global financial crisis, or if he has moved on to a new topic of interest.
The president is traveling to the Port of Tampa this afternoon for a speech on trade with Latin America. From Florida, he will travel Cartagena, Colombia for the Summit of the Americas. It is not clear whether Lewis is along for the whole trip, or just the Tampa leg.
We emailed Vanity Fair for confirmation/details and will update when we hear back.
UPDATE: A spokeswoman for Vanity Fair declined to comment, citing the magazine's policy against discussing upcoming work.

This article is courtesy of Project AWARE.
Eight young Finathon champions aged three to seven swam a Fintastic 1160 metres for Project AWARE's Global Finathon. They loved creating their shark hats and showing off their diplomas before the school day started. With the kids at school, IDC Philippines kicked off and swam a total collective distance of 100km.
"It's inspiring to see two PADI resorts join forces for conservation to help raise awareness for the plight of sharks. To swim for seven hours in strong currents is a powerful testament to the passion scuba divers have to protect sharks for future generations. Thanks to IDC Philippines who now top the Finathon Team Leaderboard raising $4,405 and counting," said Joanna McNamara, Project AWARE.
Thirteen swimmers joined the Liquid Dumaguete Team swimming a total of 39km along the Dauin coastline. Three swimmers clocked 5km each. The 19 people strong Atmosphere Dive Team swam to Apo Island and back to the coast, a round trip of 20km in seven hours. Two dive boats followed the swimmers, with four of the Atmosphere Dive Team swimming around 10km each. Despite strong currents and bad weather on the return swim, everyone finished this Finathon smiling.
"It was a great day, we're all very proud of our achievement and thank everyone for their support. Thanks to Aquamundo who donated swim caps, swimming suits, shorts and goggles. They were greatly appreciated for the the swim," said Zoe Latimer, Liquid Dumaguete.
"We'd also really like to thank Wordwide Dive and Sail, their luxury live aboard S/Y Philippine Siren was cruising through the Visayas at the time and they came by to cheer us on. Two of their guests jumped in the water to support the swimmers for a short distance," said Ulrika Kroon, Atmosphere Resorts.
Tip of the Day: Remember Sunscreen: "Some swimmer are feeling a bit worse for wear but mostly due to sunburn and not as much from muscle pain as expected!" added Ulrika.
Special thanks to the youngest Finathon champions so far: The kids of ONE International School Philippines: Chloe Holder 3, Ethan Holder 5, Lilja Kroon Reed 5, Thomas Phillips 5, Miley Feeney 5, JM Feeney 6, Solymar Latimer 6, Kai Latimer 4.
Finathon Champions around the world have clocked up over 200km swimming to end finning. Find out more about hosting Finathon at your local dive club, resort or dive centre.
Thank you to all PADI Members and Dive Centres who support Project AWARE. Please look out for more alerts from Project AWARE on how you can get involved.

Our Rules
Kickstarter is a community of people committed to bringing creative projects to life.
We welcome and support projects from a variety of categories: Art, Comics, Crafts, Dance, Design, Fashion, Film & Video, Food, Games, Journalism, Music, Photography, Publishing, Technology, and Theater. Here are five rules every Kickstarter project must follow.
Projects must create something to share with others.
Kickstarter can be used to create all sorts of things: art and gadgets, events and spaces, ideas and experiences. But every project needs a plan for creating something and sharing it with the world. At some point, the creator should be able to say: "It's finished. Here's what we created. Enjoy!"
Projects must be honest and clearly presented.
Our community is built on trust and communication. Projects can't mislead people or misrepresent facts, and creators should be candid about what they plan to accomplish. When a project involves manufacturing and distributing something complex, like a gadget, we require projects to show backers a prototype of what they're making, and we prohibit photorealistic renderings.
Projects can't fundraise for charity.
While nonprofits are welcome to launch projects on Kickstarter, projects can't promise to raise funds to donate to a charity or cause. Funds raised on Kickstarter must go towards facilitating the project outlined by the creator on the project page.
Projects can't offer equity.
Investment is not permitted on Kickstarter. Projects can't offer incentives like equity, revenue sharing, or investment opportunities.
Projects can't involve prohibited items.
We do not allow any of these things.
These rules don't cover every possible use of Kickstarter, but they explain our purpose and perspective.
We value community. View our policies for etiquette on Kickstarter.Community guidelines

Legislation sponsored by two Virginia lawmakers calls for greatly increasing the number of people who must provide DNA samples to the state upon their convictions.
Under current law, everyone convicted of a felony and a very small number of misdemeanors must submit their DNA to the state, typically in the form of blood or saliva.
That sample then goes into a massive statewide DNA database to help police with other criminal investigations.
But a bill in the House of Delegates, filed by House Minority Leader Del. David J. Toscano, D-Charlottesville, would require the submission of DNA samples for many Class 1 misdemeanors as well.
According to the Charlottesville...

Flight information
On the Capital of Peace lives a tolerant and educated community. The Jet d'Eau, the highest fountain in the world, appears to celebrate all that harmony. Book a flight to Geneva.
Home to the Red Cross and the european United Nations, Geneva is an international city. Where gardens and parks are the rule and not the exception.
Look for John Calvin (and others)
Go into the Old City and explore St. Pièrre Cathedral, gothic and lofty. This is a key city of the protestant reform, so the Mur des Réformateurs at Parc des Bastions is a must see. Unmissable also: UN's Palais des Nations, the Broken Chair or the fabulous Ariana Museum.
Spot Mont Blanc on the horizon
The lake and mountain chains — Alpes and Jura — surround the city where luxury stores, watches and chocolats are everywhere. The Carouge and Les Grotes quarters are great artsy places to wander around. At night, before heading to the Grand Théâtre de Genève, try the creamy fondue with Chasselas wine.

'American Idol' Is Losing Viewers to 'The Voice'
After many long years at the top, it looks like Fox's 'American Idol' is starting to lose steam as America's top reality singing show. The culprit? Stiff competition created by Blake Shelton and team on 'The Voice' has ultimately caused 'Idol' ratings to drop.
Without Simon Cowell's harsh criticisms, critics have noticed that 'American Idol' is a bit uninspiring in its 11th season. Plus, the 'Idol' judging line-up of Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler draws an older audience — or at least doesn't appeal as much to younger viewers, the Shreveport Times reports.
On the flip side, there's 'The Voice,' with its all-star judging cast which includes Shelton and his pop peers Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green. Those famous faces, mixed with a fresh idea, has kept viewers young and ratings up.
"The ratings are proving there is clearly room for both 'The Voice' and 'American Idol' to not only coexist but thrive as well," said an NBC spokesperson. "And on top of that, advertisers enjoy the family friendly environment that these shows offer and the opportunities to integrate their clients into them seamlessly."
It might be true that there is room for both shows in the eyes of reality competition fans — but 'The Voice' certainly seems to have the "cool" factor down pat. Of course, we all know that trends can change in the blink of an eye. For now, it seems 'The Voice' — which is about to close its second season — will continue a trek to the top.
Are you an 'Idol' fan, or does 'The Voice' speak to your tastes? Tell us in the comments section below.

Everybody pulled his weight. Gee our old LaSalle ran great. Those were the days.
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days.
--from "Those Were The Days,"
lyric by Charles Stouse and Lee Adams
Writing in The New York Times this week, columnist David Leonhardt defined what is happening to the U.S. economy as "the new moderation."
And while I think he is 100% correct (read what he said here), what is happening now I think can much more directly be described as "Welcome back to the 1970s!"
Who out there remembers the "Me Decade"? Actually, in my mind the go-go '80s were much more of a "me-first" period but I digress. How I recall the '70s-- beyond the generally horrible taste exhibited in almost everything from clothing to furniture save for cars and popular (not disco!) music and television-- is that it was for better or worse a truly middle-class era.
Yes, 35 to 40 years ago there were plenty of persons living below the poverty line and as well as legions of the working poor-- although I dare say there are more today. But there sure were fewer truly well-off people tooling around in luxomobile SUVs buying every new piece of electronica or kitchen countertop option for that matter that comes their way. And there were far fewer wannabes willing to embark on whatever risky financial gynmnastics they calculate could vault them into appearing or at least feeling "rich" or "upper class."
Such cotton-candy whispy dreams had to end. But that doesn't mean we are heading into a nightmare.
If everyone from Wall Street to Main Street does their part to intelligently downsize-- especially the ridiculous and much too widely held belief that "consumers" can keep consuming at a dizzying pace forever and ever and ever-- maybe just maybe everyone in this country who already has far more than their basic needs being met can slow down and consider there is more to life than square footage, wide screens and third-row seating.
If that happens, well, then maybe we can start to re-direct our formidable national energy from selling each other stuff and "'services" we don't really need to being not only the world's economic powerhouse but also the home of the kind of genius that propelled mankind ahead with such inventions as universal electricifcation, affordable automobiles, the telegraph and telephone, radio, motion pictures and television not to mention the personal computer, the Internet and the cell phone.
This nation was challenged to greatness by John F. Kennedy a few years after we'd been humiliated by the appearance of a dinky satellite dubbed Sputnik. JFK's call to action was answered resoundingly. In much less than 10 years our nation went from a space-race has-been to putting, as Kennedy envisioned, a man on the moon.
"...in a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon--if we make this judgment affirmatively, it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there."
--John F. Kennedy, May 25, 1961
If we could do that back then with the crude technology of the day why can't we do more to excel and advance as a nation now?
I've no doubt that Fed rate cuts and tax refunds or stipends or whatever they're calling them this time around will stimulate the economy to some degree. You put money on the street, it gets spent. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
But what will stimulate our economy to where we really want it to be--way out front of every other economic power on earth-- will be if Americans can individually and collectively start working toward more than their comfort.
Nostalgia is a dangerous thing, tis true. It can cover up all sorts of unpleasant truths. But what I remember most fondly about the '70s was the sense of shared experience that existed in this country.
No, I don't want to give up any of the progress made on any front since those days. But I do yearn for that feeling of "we are all in this together and let's try to do something about it" that seems to have largely fled the good old U.S.A. in the last 30-odd years.
Maybe the next POTUS will be the kind of leader who will stir our nation once again to action if not greatness.
But the reality is it is up to all of us to make this a time worth recalling one day as the good old days

Ensuring The Purple Pig's Engine Stays Cool
As is almost always the case when fitting a larger engine than stock, the cooling system of the project '49 Chevy required upgrading to cope with the Smeding 383 that replaced the old 235ci inline-six. Luckily, a number of companies offer bolt-in radiators for such situations, and doubly lucky for me, U.S. Radiator had supplied one of their Desert Cooler triple flow radiators for our sister magazine, STREET RODDER's Road Tour Project '52 Chevy last year. Unfortunately for SRM, the use of an Art Morrison chassis meant this radiator did not fit, so it found a grateful home here at Rod & Custom for use in the Purple Pig!
Again, as is often the case, though the radiator is designed as a direct bolt-in replacement for the original, I found myself in familiar "two steps forward and one step back" territory. Sure it would bolt in, and left sufficient room for an engine-driven mechanical fan, but I wanted to use an electric fan; as I'm painfully aware of how often I sit in stationary traffic on the freeway. Additionally, the 2 5/8-inch-thick core of the new radiator, plus the addition of an A/C condenser mounted in front, meant I wanted to ensure sufficient air would flow through the radiator core.
Not wanting to go to the trouble of moving the motor and trans mounts rearward-and anyway, it would only be able to move a 1/2 inch or so before the right head-to-firewall clearance would become virtually non-existent, and I wasn't about to alter the firewall-I opted to move the radiator forward to attain the necessary clearance. All well and good you might say, but the top radiator tank couldn't be moved forward as it would then hit the inner hood structure. The solution was to move the bottom of the radiator forward and mount it at an angle, which required a little fabrication and manipulation of the stock core support and surrounding sheetmetal. Once I'd figured out the easiest and neatest way to accomplish my goal, it took less than a day to make the changes.
Seeing as I was moving the radiator anyway, I discussed my fan requirements with the folks at SPAL USA, the manufacturer of choice for U.S. Radiator, and whose fans their shrouds are designed to accept. SPAL offers a range of electric fans with varying diameters, thicknesses, and airflow cfm ratings. While originally planning to use their 16-inch medium profile fan, rated at 1,610 cfm, as it would require minimal radiator relocation, it was decided that with the 383 motor, the core thickness, plus the A/C condenser, as well as the small grille area, this may not offer optimum airflow, and the high-performance 2,070-cfm fan would be more suitable. The same fan is available with 2,360 cfm, but with straight blades, and I opted for the curved blades, which are quieter. The drawback was the thickness of the fan and motor increased from 2 1/2 inches to just over 3 1/2 inches, meaning though I had the space, the A/C condenser would be very close to the hood latch panel support, with a 1/2 inch of clearance between the fan motor and the water pump pulley. Of course I could have moved the latch panel support too, but why make more work for myself?
With the radiator, shroud, and fan mounted in their new location, my next problem was routing a top hose from the water neck on the intake manifold to the radiator top tank. Seeing as this would have to work its way around the alternator, rather than spend valuable time sourcing a hose at my local auto parts store, I called Speedway Motors for an adjustable 45-degree water neck, a 90-degree steel tube, and a couple lengths of suitable diameter silicone hose. Once the hoses are trimmed to length and the tube is painted, it'll look neater than a long rubber hose. The lower hose I'll source at the parts store, though that will be a regular GM part. Better get a radiator cap too, while I'm there!
Desert Cooler
U.S. Radiator has determined that core design and adequate airflow are the most important aspects for obtaining maximum coolant temperature drop from radiator inlet to outlet. By building internal walls in the radiator, as is the case with the Desert Cooler, the coolant is re-routed to pass through the radiator (top to bottom or side to side depending on design) three times, resulting in three separate exposures to temperature-dropping airflow, with little or no adverse flow restriction. The result is an average 15 percent reduction in radiator outlet temperatures. U.S. Radiator offers this unique flow design on all non-transmission cooler-equipped radiators in their extensive line of high-performance vehicle applications.

Obscenities and other non-roadwork statements appeared on electronic road signs north of St. Charles this week along Route 25 after an unauthorized third party tampered with them, officials said.
Various government agencies – including the St. Charles Police Department, the Wayne Police Department and the Illinois Department of Transportation – heard about the inappropriate messages, which an IDOT spokesman described as unfortunate.
The signs were put up by a subcontractor of Magellan Midstream Partners for routine maintenance procedures on its pipeline system near Route 25 and Army Trail Road, Magellan spokesman Bruce Heine said in an email. He said traffic was reduced to one lane for the work.
"In compliance with Illinois DOT regulations, road signs were installed in the area by a subcontractor," Heine wrote. "After the maintenance was complete and the signs were moved away from the highway, an unauthorized third party tampered with the signs."
Officials with the Wayne and St. Charles police departments said the unauthorized messages included obscenities and promoted the group seemingly behind it.
Heine said the subcontractor has removed the signs from the area.

Curried Squash & Wild Rice Soup
The weekend has once again come and gone, and yet again I am left with thoughts unfinished and tasks undone. My to do list has grown exponentially, and it seems that I am playing an endless game of catch up. Sunday marked the first day in weeks that my alarm clock was quiet until after the sun came up.
I suppose I could have caught up on the sleep lost over the past few weeks to racing thoughts and hard decisions, instead, I rolled myself out of bed and pulled out my Le Crueset. I flicked the burner on, and in went the turkey carcass that has been waiting in my freezer since thanksgiving, some carrots, onions, herbs, and garlic. Soon, the wonderful scent of homemade stock was filling the apartment. All I had to do was wait, so I pulled out another stock pot, and went to work peeling squash, sweet potatoes, and apples.
Soon enough, my stove was full of soups bubbling away, and my mind was perfectly clear. I was no longer worrying about the big changes about to come, or the new directions my life may be taking. I wasn't thinking about jobs and money and bills and credit cards. All I had to think about was not burning the chicken and apple sausage or over cooking the wild rice that were destined to join the roasted squash in the soup pot. I was filled with the anticipation of a new recipe working out with no kinks, and most of all filling my tummy with a wonderfully hearty and comforting soup.
This soup is chocked full of good stuff. Butternut squash, sweet potatoes, apples, and shallots, get roasted together and pureed. Then nutty wild rice is added, and topped with some chicken apple sausage. Lets not forget the warming kick from a little curry powder that really balances out the sweetness from the apple and squash. I have a few soups I tend to make over and over again, so this time I was looking for a little familiarity, but also something new.
I kept thinking about a butternut and wild rice soup from Emril Lagasse, recommended to me by my sister, but when I went to look up the recipe, it had a ton of heavy cream, and just didn't appeal to my mood at the time. So I took the notion of combining squash, sausage, and wild rice and made it my own. This was a great adaptation of a simple roasted vegetable soup, I hope you all get the chance to try it soon.
Curried Squash and Wild Rice Soup
this makes a HUGE pot of soup, feel free to halve
1 - 4 lb butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed into 1 inch pieces
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1/2 inch pieces
6 shallots, peeled and quartered
2 small granny smith apples, or 1 large, peeled, cored, and quartered
10-12 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups wild rice, cooked according to package directions
1-2 tablespoons curry powder
4 chicken-apple sausages (feel free to substitute any sort of sausage here) quartered lengthwise and diced
olive oil
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Toss squash, apples, shallots, and sweet potatoes with a few tablespoons olive oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and spread in an ever layer on two baking sheets. Roast for about an hour, tossing a few times, until soft and cooked through, and beginning to turn golden brown.
Transfer about 1/2 the vegetables to a food processor with 2-4 cups of chicken stock (enough to cover veggies), and puree until smooth. Transfer to stock pot, and repeat with remaining vegetables. Stir in the cooked wild rice, and add the remaining chicken stock to desired thickness. Season with 1-2 tablespoons of curry powder, depending on how spicy you like it, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup up to a very gentle simmer.
Meanwhile, heat a small amount of olive oil in a medium saute pan, and cook the sausage over medium high heat until cooked though and crispy brown on the outside. You can either stir the sausage in, I prefer to use it more as a garnish.
This soup freezes very well, so feel free to make a huge batch, it will be enough to get you through the remaining months of winter.

Yum, I feel like I don't usually add all the cream to the Emeril soup, but whatever...this one looks delish too. Although I'm kind of over curry right now after eating curried lentil & sweet potato soup all week for lunch. We must have been on the same wavelength! :)

I love everything about this soup! I could eat a whole plate of just the roasted squash, sweet potatoes, and apples... but blend them into a puree and add wild rice and chicken sausage and I'm in bliss! Definitely bookmarking this recipe.

Where did you get your soup bowls? I would love to surprise my husband with some as they look just like the ones that we were served some seafood soup in while we were in Iceland this past spring.

Thank you everyone! I am actually eating a big bowl of this right now, and I added a dollop of greek yogurt to the top...I may need to add that to the recipe, I am in soup heaven right now :-)
The bowls I actually purchased from Sur la Table this past summer. I love to shop their sale racks and I found these bowls for a steal. I can't find the image on their website anymore unfortunately, but if you have a sur la table store nearby, stop in and check out their porcelain white collection, they are constantly adding new shapes and pieces to it, and they are pretty affordable. Hope this helps!

I made it and it's delicious! I used breakfast sausage and added a cup of frozen spinach. I would blog about it, but I don't think I could get it to look as pretty as yours...it's more of a tastes-good than a looks-good kind of food. But it IS yummmy! Thanks for the recipe!

Australia's first imported sample of U.S. distiller's dried grains with solubles, a co-product of U.S. ethanol production, successfully cleared inspections Dec. 3 after arriving at the Port of Melbourne on Nov. 25. The shipment will be used in feeding trials to be overseen by Australian feed supplier CopRice, a major supplier of feed ingredients, manufactured livestock and companion animal feeds.
"This is a major accomplishment for the Council and an exciting first step for CopRice," said Mike Callahan, U.S. Grains Council senior director of international operations for Asia. "This has also shown that DDGS can meet the stringent regiments of Australia's Quarantine and Inspection Service."
The shipment is the result of several efforts including the 2007 International DDGS Conference held in Schaumburg, Ill., hosted by BBI International in partnership with USGC. Conversations initiated in Schaumberg continued during a USGC mission to Australia last March, during which the proposal of sending a DDGS sample for use in feeding trials was discussed with CopRice representatives.
Hawkeye Gold, a USGC member based in Ames, Iowa, volunteered to supply the sample DDGS to CopRice once an agreement was reached. The DeLong Co., Inc., another USGC member based in Clinton, Wis., donated trans-loading services for the shipment. USGC covered the freight costs.
"Thanks to the cooperation of Hawkeye Gold and the assistance provided by the Foreign Agricultural Service in Canberra, U.S. DDGS has entered Australia for the first time," said Adel Yusupov, USGC regional director of Southeast Asia. "(We are) anxious to hear about CopRice's progress in using DDGS during the trial period and our staff is ready and available to assist them at any time upon their request."

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
EEOC Said Restaurant Managers Repeatedly Used Racist Slurs, Including N-word
CLEVELAND – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced a class litigation settlement with national restaurant chain Bahama Breeze for $1,260,000 and significant remedial relief in a case alleging repeated racial harassment of 37 black workers at the company's Beachwood, Ohio location.
In its lawsuit, the EEOC charged that Bahama Breeze managers committed numerous and persistent acts of racial harassment against black employees, including frequently addressing black staff with slurs such as "n….r," "Aunt Jemima," "homeboy," "stupid n….r," and "you people." Additionally, managers allegedly imitated what they perceived to be the speech and mannerisms of black employees, and denied them breaks while allowing breaks to white employees. Despite the employees' complaints to management, the alleged race-based harassment continued.
"No worker should ever have to endure a racially hostile work environment in order to earn a paycheck," said EEOC Acting Chairman Stuart J. Ishimaru. "It is particularly disturbing when managers engage in and condone the very unlawful conduct they are required to prevent and correct. This sizeable settlement should remind employers of the possible consequences of a failure to promote and maintain a discrimination-free workplace."
The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement out of court (EEOC v. GMRI, Inc. d/b/a Bahama Breeze, 1:08cv2214). In addition to the $1,260,000 in monetary relief obtained for the claimants, the three-year consent decree resolving the litigation contains significant injunctive relief requiring Bahama Breeze to:
EEOC Acting Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence of the Philadelphia District Office, which oversees parts of Ohio, said, "The black employees in this case, some of them long-term, suffered through egregious race-based mistreatment in order to maintain their jobs. The abusive managers are now gone and we are hopeful that victims can be treated as valued members of the restaurant work force."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Pounding, throat gagging, and body slapping. Porn is made for men. By Aurora Snow.
After signing autographs for three hours at a noisy convention, I was just about to leave for my 10-minute bathroom break when a guy tugged at my sleeve. He just stood there, grinning at me. The girl he was with jumped up and down and shoved a photo at me. "Please sign this for us!" I jokingly asked how he had convinced her to come see porn stars. Her answer floored me. It was all her idea. She watched porn.
I had starred in more than 100 adult movies before I ran into my first female fan.
When I entered porn at the tender age of 18, I'd never seen an XXX movie. I performed in the movies, but never watched them. It wasn't until I began directing that I started to watch porn, but not for the reasons you might think.
I wasn't trying to tap into my inner sex goddess. Instead, I was studying it and seeing what sold well and what I should aim for when making my own X-rated movies. But there was a disconnect: I'd assumed that watching porn was something only men did. And I made my movies for men—animalistic scenes, aggressive guys and cute girls, and little plot. The porn I knew involved pounding, throat gagging, and body slapping. It was more extreme than erotic. I couldn't even imagine women watching. Women craved more romance than that, didn't they?
A decade later, women who watch porn are still something of a mystery to me. So I reached out to my female fans with questions. Why do women watch me?
Mae, a young heterosexual woman with her own subscription to my site, tells me it's the first adult website she's ever joined. What matters most to Mae is a performer's enthusiasm. It has to be someone who looks genuine, which is how she came to be a loyal fan of mine. Adult movies transport Mae—she imagines herself and the person she loves acting out those scenes. It both fulfills and creates fantasies, which in turn lead to a more intimate experience with her partner. Mae wishes she were as free as the porn stars. "No inhibitions, that body confidence—I envy it," she says. Though she was raised to believe that porn was wrong, she now finds it relaxing and educational.
Katrina says she watches adult movies for the same reasons men do. She says her porn consumption has "gone down" since getting into a relationship. Adult movies helped boost her low libido. Porn makes her feel sexier. She sought out my movies, because she was looking for a girl who seemed real, and she could pretend to be the girl onscreen. I'd been sold as "the girl next door," but this gave that image a new meaning. Sometimes just talking about porn stimulates her partner more than watching it, and occasionally they use it to heighten the intensity of a moment. Many of my fans feel the same way.
Hearing from these women encouraged me to chat with someone on the other side of that fence. Maggie is one of my Twitter followers who does not watch my movies. While she has no moral objection to porn, she has very little interest in it. Maggie is looking for a good story, and most of the high-end adult companies with a budget for these kinds of movies use girls she can't relate to. "The most unappealing thing about porn is the women," she says. "Fake hair, fake boobs, fake moans? No thanks! How can I put myself in her place if I don't like her?" Erotic fiction does more for her imagination than being fed an image that isn't as sexy as what she can conjure up in her own mind. And porn can be misleading: the camera angles are often designed to show something that looks good, but doesn't always feel great in reality. "Many women don't need porn," she says. Maggie has a point: most porn just isn't made for women.
I can't help but wonder if the porn industry has missed an incredibly large demographic by not making films more specifically suited for women. Perhaps this is because of its history. The directors, company owners, distributors, adult-store owners, and even the customer base are all predominately men. In more recent years the adult business has seen a rise in female directors, but the marketing hasn't changed.
But it may be. Penthouse has a line of films aimed at women (though the plotlines are often thin). Companies like Girlfriends Films aim to create products for women. Despite being very successful at what they do, these companies primarily make lesbian movies that may not always be what straight women want. Yet even these are often marketed for a male audience.
So much of what is out there is for men, and as we all know within the male-dominated sex industry, men fast-forward through the storytelling and setups, so these expensive-to-produce points are glossed over or ignored.
One of my fans said, "Just as I need to be in the mood to have sex, I have to be in the mood to watch it."
If the financially troubled porn business opened up its demographics to women, perhaps it would make way for a new stream of revenue. Keep in mind, the two sexes are different. Men are like microwaves, instantly turned on. Women are more like ovens—we take our time heating up.

Judging by fund-flow data, Bill Gross might be more willing to share a golf cart with Mohamed El-Erian than most investors would be to jump into emerging-market assets these days.
OK, that may be an exaggeration. But investment strategists at Bank of America Merrill Lynch offer the chart above to show just how reluctant investors have been to buy into emerging-market equity and bond funds. Outflows over the last four months as a percentage of assets under management now rank in the worst 0.05 percentile, the analysts found, noting that the last time retail outflows were this severe and persistent was during the 2008 financial crisis.
On a daily basis, you have to go back to Jan. 14 to find a net inflow to emerging-market equity funds, they said.
Of course, the past week has been a particularly rough one from a headline perspective with Russia's designs on Crimea sparking international tensions. The Ukraine hryvnia and Russian ruble have both plummeted, while Russia's MICEX stock index dropped more than 7% this week, its worst one-week performance since May 2012. That said, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF managed to recover from a Monday plunge to trade a smidge higher on a weekly basis, leaving it down around 5.5% since the beginning of the year.
Investors and analysts watch fund flows to help piece together sentiment toward particular asset classes and the market overall. Flows, however, can prove to be a contrarian indicator, with inflows or outflows peaking as the market changes direction.
But Christian Keller and other strategists at Barclays warn that recent turmoil in Ukraine and rising tensions between the U.S. and Russia could compound existing emerging-market worries related to the impact of the Fed's tapering efforts, slowing growth and upcoming elections.
Moreover, within emerging markets, weakening sentiment on Russia could trigger a rotation out of the country's assets into economies with improving macro fundamentals, including India, Brazil and Indonesia, the Barclays strategists wrote.
So where has the money gone? This week's big winners, according to BofA Merrill Lynch are inflation-protected Treasurys, or TIPS, floating-rate debt, high-yield bond funds and gold and silver.
Equities have seen $7.5 billion in inflows, largely via exchange-traded funds, according to the data. Bonds saw $1.8 billion in outlfows, while commodities have seen two straight weeks of inflows, and money markets saw $16 billion in redemptions.

On the Street….In Blue, Paris
CommentsClose comment

Pashmina for men?
Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know Ive been to sea betore
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away…
absolutely beautiful colour.
Daring! He is cool.
There is something about the wrap not being overlapped that bothers me. I feel that it loses its effect when its open, exposing the chest like that. i do enjoy the color though. There is definitely something soothing about that blue.
That scarf is just so ÔÇśbien paridaÔÇÖ which basically means itÔÇÖs beautiful, wonderful and gorgeous. The way itÔÇÖs combined with jeans, greyish t-shirt and blue velvet looks very pretty and sexy to my eyes although if I think of it rationally, I find the whole kind of too well studied, too perfect.
love him.
the shot is so gorgeous…color, composition, all of it. and on him, the scarf looks just right. I love seeing accessories that people obviously buy to actually wear, without trying for a studied perfection that too often gets in the way of inspired spontaneity. perfect!
such a beautiful shade of blue – its a stand out but also subtle…
This looks like the zadir of the big scarf trend. It's gotta be downhill from here.
I have a pashmina that colour. I wish I thought mine looked as good on me as his does on him.
the deep glowing velvet and the soft blue look absolutely gorgeous together. this would look great for a velvet sofa and throw.
The fact that this scarf is tied in such a loose fashion is an interesting contrast with the neatness of his hairstyle and the elegance of the velvet jacket. The jeans add a casual tone to this eclectic, old money, look. This is a wonderful alternative to the preppy and tweedy ensembles we have seen. It is continental, I would say.
These blues are wonderful.
Love it!
Enormous blue scarf with blue velvet jacket and jeans. Almost crazy, but comes out looking very hip. I wonder what shoes he is wearing.
this man is so chic and makes me want to be in paris.
It is a pretty shade. I was trying to figure out why I wasn't responding to this look and it hit me– I live near Duke University, it's basketball tournament time, and **everybody** is wearing this color here, so it's like color fatigue. I do like the twist at the neck, and the blue blazer underneath.
Somewhere, Gainsborough is smiling! Though I love the blues, I'm not sure about the scarf and the velvet(een?) jacket together–it just feels a bit like the textural frosting is overpowering the cake. On the other hand, I suspect a lot of people can't resist petting him, which could be quite an enjoyable result.
i love the colour, particularly the jacket. And his hair is awesome.
But I really don't like the way the scarf is wrapped at all. It looks messy and comical.
what might the scarf be made out of? is pashmina the definite consensus? because i like the way it seems to be textured..
no he does not look chic, he looks like he is trying too hard..its not a good look in my opinion
I love the blues. he makes it work so well with the different shades. brilliant.
Never imagined if pashmina-shawl could be for men!!
scarves are so chic this year, everybody needs one! he looks fab!
WOW, that's one amazing blue colour!
I love the blue and more than that, I love the generous proportions of this. All the fabric and folds.
It's gutsy of him to even think about wearing pashimina. Looks good… Over and over again I realize on this blog that it's confidence and strong sense of self that make your look!
I love that he took sucha glamorous risk by wearing pashmina. It appears everyone is doing it this season!
these colors..
very good looking guy.
That look is far too 'styled' for me, but that shade of blue is gorgeous.
Something borrowed, something blue.
He gives me the blues – in a good way!
I'm in love with the jacket, it's just brilliant. The pashimina is a nice color, but seems soley for warmth and comfort, as the ensamble does not require it. But it's a nice touch.
this is so cool! I just like how the blues are not repetitive (i mean the jacket the scarf, the jeans). they all stand for their own while still doing a coherent look. I want to add also that this is what I like about this blog: the guy with his scarf spread like that is evidently in an everyday life situation but the photo and the style are so well done that you can help but be amazed. Real life is beautiful and so different from made-up situations like fashion shows. Sart, you have my oscar award because you encourage me to look my best everyday especially when there are days i find it complicated to achieve.
More gentlemen should dare wearing huge "pashminas" – thinking of it: there might be a lot of nice items in our wifes wardrobes
I personally wear ladies hankies as pocket squares ;)
The velvet jacket is very nice too! Note the cuff with one button undone – this is the kind of look where this isabsolutely appropriate !!!
will some please tell why wearing pashmina is NOT for men?
and, yes – what kind of shoes does he have on?
I've seen some other men wearing pashminas on this blog, and in a previous post I asked if it was appropriate.
This man has convinced me that it is, much to the chagrin of my wife and her collection of pashminas I have gotten her!
I see nothing wrong with pashminas for men! When worn right, they look amazing. But the key is if you're able to wear it right…
The shades of blue here…well, there's no other word to describe them but absolutely sumptous. That jacket…wow!
The first thing that I saw was the scarf. But the second glance and I know there is sth more than the scarf. This velvet jacket is as important as the scarf. Fantastic.
Love the various blue colors – the scarf size though is a tad too big. A smaller one would make this a perfect look, while now it just screams for attention.
simple but very nice
I love when guys wear scarves. This is a little bit too much, but the color is fantastic.
Bold and dramatic choice of a scarf.. but some how it looks so Right!
The way the colors play and especially the combination textures (pashmina + velvet) is just exquisite.
I would not only forgive the jeans but would have to stop myself from getting caught giving this cutey a double take.
i can just imagine him talking on his phone. fast and consise about something specific that needs to be done at work.
the blue creates this image.
He looks like he would be SOOO flamboyant!
In the mountains of Afghanistan and north Pakistan, men routinely wear big shawls wrapped around their upper bodies to keep them warm. They're not usually made in colors this bright, but the texture seems to be the same
Sart, your India's showing.
Ha! I actually own this jacket, or at least one extremely similar(by Ralph Lauren). Been at a loss for what to wear with it.
This definately gives me some ideas…..although I think the scarf is a bit too flamboyant I love the look.
the color is gorgeous!
the blue is rocking out the streets !!
i love love love they way he mismatched his blues.
you gotta love a great scarf moment, thank you for capturing this one!
Derisive snickers. Typical flamboyant French guy.
The guy needs a bigger scarf.
Nice bed sheet around his neck.
