whoa! daddy
shane brown's 'big daddy antiques' is known in the l.a. design and landscaping world for its showroom, filled with vintage & antique garden decor- including fountains, urns, planters, stone water vessels, troughs and wrought iron garden decor, antique furniture and found objects. tucked among a row of warehouses in an industrial area of south los angeles (off of the 110 freeway), it's easy to drive right by the unassuming building. but it's definitely worth the trip. brown's extensive stock is constantly being updated.
how about a giangantor clam shell, filled with ice to chill your drinks this summer. that albaster lamp base is simply serene and beautiful.take a number .... he sells sea shells rusty bust anyone?
the urn on the far right is an old olive container. the iron number on the far left is 'sold'. besides the garden decor, brown carries unique pieces for the indoors, unearthed from resources, here, in the states as well as, asia and europe. check out all of the little treasures tucked into this shelving unit, below, i love those wire, locker room baskets.
recently, brown's opened a big daddy antiques outpost, in corona del mar. i hear it's not as huge but it's just as fabulous. the trouble with this sort of joint? you'll want one of everything.

just....no. please, not again
i know i'm getting old because, i'm at that age where i'm starting to see trends recycle. but, kids, this one is bad. trust, aunt megan on this. bad, bad, bad. i did this one. they didn't really look cool then. and, you know what? i kinda knew it (like i knew that asymmetrical bob was sort of a poor choice). but i went ahead and cashed in my month's wages from the limited on a pair of red ones. and then cranked up my UB40 cassette, and drove around with the top down all 'cool 'n shit'. woo hoo! tasteful people of the blog world, be on alert:i've just driven through the beverly hills/west hollywood area and saw no fewer than 10 GROUPS of people in the 20 something range, sporting this 'new' trend--and in WHITE no less. *sigh*, i wish my demographics were a bit more relevant. but to those of you out there that know what i'm talking about....this is truly one recycled trend that i promise you, you need to put down now and move away from....quickly. perhaps if you so need to regurgitate the 80s, something a little less bad.....like a toni home perm and some stirrup pants would work for you.

that girl
the other day, i was asked who my fashion inspiration was. why anyone would even be remotely moved to ask this question, is beyond me. mostly, because i seem to be lacking one as of late. maybe this said person, was going to kindly, slip me a little piece of paper with a name on it. drawing me in closely, saying, in a stage whisper, 'you should give her a call' and then closing my hand around the paper, patting it for safe keeping. 'call her. she can help' and maybe, just maybe as i unfurled my sweaty little hand, inside was a slip of paper with the name 'liebemarlene' . liebe what? liebemarleneliebemarlene is the flickr handle of the enigmatic 20 something year old (that i stalk regularly on flickr), rhiannon. i'm absolutely intrigued with her. this girl, is one of the most talented stylists, i've seen in awhile. i don't care if you're into vintage clothing or not (i, personally, can't do the vintage smells but i love the look) she's got something going on that doesn't come along often. check her out: can we have a moment with those shoes and those tights??? at first, i thought, easily this person is in the fashion industry. she must be the front man of several designers and stylists. but doing a little more sluething i found out that she lives/lived in a small town outside of chicago. which makes it that much better.
juicy sweats , hard tail pants , running clothes, hanging on the open refrigerator door, pondering the question posed, i realized this: people like rhiannon inspire me. it's all about owning the look after all. self express, have fun and run with it.
if you feel like doing a little stalking on your own check out her constantly updated flickr site, her blog, her my space profile and finally~ pick up some of these pieces on her ebay shop.
as i stood, in my
after going to a small christian college in the midwest, and having a penchant for dressing in vintage (her version of rebelling) she broke out of her office job and started a full time ebay store selling her finds. look at her. killer combos. she's total rock star status with the clothes (great hair too) i just know creative directors at anthro, marc jacobs, etc. are also stalking her.

post 733
a little over a year ago, sfgirlbybay, victoria smith asked if i would 'guest blog' for her while she was away on business. i was beyond flattered. i had been a fan of her blog since its inception. i had no idea what i was doing --what the angle of my dangle was to be. but, who doesn't love a challenge. i took the bait and was hooked.of course, looking back, that first post was a bit of a lesson in cringe. none the less, i had a blast doing it and decided to try my little fledgling wings with my own blog. so i got busy, and started posting away. soon there after, holly becker was incredibly kind and featured my little bloglette as 'blog of the week' on decor8. once again, demonstrating the generosity of this particular sector of the bloggity blog world. after one year and 732 posts, i want to thank all of you for continuing to read, comment, contribute, contact, overlook my blatant defiance around the rules of grammar, punctuation and spelling, and to just be, generally, a really cool group of people. in the spirit of my blog-mothers, please send me a link to your blog (if i don't already have it included on my blog crushes) there are SO many amazing blogs out there that need to be shared. oh, and thank you again. really. you da best.

a delightful dissaray of found objects & clutter
recently my oldest and dearest friend, stayed at my house while i was out of the country. when we finally got around to catching up, she said, 'oh by the way, i stayed in charlotte's room.' (my never tidy but always joyful, 7 year old) " i wanted to be surrounded by tutus, stuffed animals and rock collections" she explained. having an intense week of work it seemed she just needed a bit of youthful, girlie, bon vivant. that's exactly what "flutter", an eccentric, and elegant shop in Portland, Oregon feels like to me. a grown up (cleaned up!) version, of a little girl's environment.
chocked full of interesting finds for the home; some new, some antique. beautiful, sometimes odd, all pulled together in a fantastical way. insect pillows, meet floral hooked rugs.....
beautiful, gossamer clothing by clothier frocky jack morgan sits amidst books ranging from havana to frida surrounded by collections of ephemera, taxidermy, vintage wall art, funky furniture and yummy perfumes.
thank you, keeshagirl4 for these 2 photos

mod pod wine pockets
you could, seriously, bring a bottle of air to your lovely hostess and she'd be blown away by your generosity. (love the 'location' for the shoot. the 70s fireplace. groovy, fondue party vibe.) i think i'd have to make them into tiny pillows when the wine was done being handed over. or maybe, you people with the tiny dogs --could stick them in one of these, head poking out.... and i don't know, carry them around. there just has to be something else to do with these. they're too beautiful for a one time use. and it's a really good thing it's not me who's making them (for many reasons) i'd be charging a hella more. i just figured it out, stick your plastic grocery bags (reduce/reuse/recycle) in these when the bottle's gone. really, handy if you're a dog owner. wine pockets by space moderne. $18.00 ***here***

The Strokes spent the past six years burning through all the leeway earned with once being declared saviors of rock "n' roll. The synth-heavy "Comedown Machine" is hardly a letdown of last-straw proportions. It also wasn't made to woo anyone back.
But maybe what The Strokes want is a clean break. No tour supporting this fifth studio record is on the table. And lyrics like "Decide my past/Define my life" over the New Wave bleeps in "Tap Out" feel freighted with a band sick of being forever graded against their 2001 breakout "Is This It."
That might be a fair grievance. But also in bounds is the fact that "One Way Trigger" is a ringer for A-ha. By the time frontman Julian Casablancas is finally ripping through an angry and satisfying chorus in the rocker "50/50," interest in which way this decent but disjointed album lands has already faded.

Child Abuse and Forensics Services
Child Abuse and Forensic Services (CAFS) serves the local community by offering private exams for victims of sexual abuse, many of whom are children. The only one of its kind in Texas, the nonprofit, private facility offers free care to individuals who have suffered sexual trauma, often from chronic abuse. CAFS exclusively dedicates itself to performing forensic medical examinations and other forensic evidence collection. According to Brenda Garison, the program's director, a registered nurse and certified sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE), her facility has seen thousands of patients.
"We have more than 3,100 case files in our office," Garison said. "Around 80 percent of those are children. Many of them suffer from chronic abuse that has been going on for six months or more. Around 30 percent of the victims I see here are male."
Garison has been performing exams on victims of sexual abuse for 19 years. She started off by doing the exams in the offices of local physicians and eventually worked out of St. Elizabeth Hospital. Now, she operates out of her own office on Hospital Drive near Baptist Hospital in Beaumont.
"I saw a need and wanted to fill it," Garison said. "These cases are some of the hardest cases to investigate. People just don't want to talk about sexual abuse. People need to talk about it."
The process begins with a phone call, sometimes from Child Protective Services (CPS) or the police and sometimes from private physicians or emergency room doctors who suspect sexual abuse. If the child or adult patient asserts sexual abuse, CAFS is obligated to inform the police or CPS before performing an exam. Health Information Technician Ursula Henderson works with Garison at the facility and often is the first point of contact with CAFS.
"I'll set up the appointment," Henderson said. "Once they get here, if there is sexual trauma, (we) contact law enforcement or CPS."
When patients arrive at the office of CAFS, they are greeted warmly in a relaxing environment where they can feel safe. A plush love seat, a fireplace and soft light gives the lobby area a homey, comfortable atmosphere.
"Some of the children have asked me if I live here," Garison said. "We just want them to feel comfortable. When you go into an emergency room, it can feel like everybody's looking at you, and that can cause some of these victims to not go to the emergency room. We usually only see one patient at a time and can offer privacy."
After letting patients know what to expect, Garison takes them to the examination room. The room is playfully decorated with a football, chicken puppets and butterflies. Cameras and microscopes are set up around the examination table.
"We do not do an evidence collection kit, formerly known as a 'rape kit' on everyone," Garrison said. "We only use the kit if the attack has happened within the last 96 hours. If we find motile sperm, which is still moving under the microscope, we know there has been a recent assault. Then, we need a brief history from the patient for diagnosis and treatment."
Garison said that after the examination, clients are offered a shower and fresh clothes as needed. A pregnancy test is performed, and CAFS provides antibiotics to combat STDs, which Garison said are "on the rise" in the area.
"Victims of sexual assault should be treated with expertise. Special expertise is what we give them. There are lass than 300 SANEs in Texas, and some of them don't even work with children. I have received special training in sexual assault examinations and in working with children. I am certified through the Texas Attorney General's Office. Our goal is to collect forensic evidence and educate the community."
Garison said that while she works with law enforcement from 12 or more counties in Texas, she does not exclusively work with prosecutors of a case.
"What we do here is focus on forensic evidence. We are totally unbiased. We are just looking for the truth, whatever that may be. It's not a witch-hunt. My opinion is going to be based on what the patient says and seeing if that is consistent with the exam or evidence kit. Juries want evidence. I have been subpoenaed in more than 500 cases and testified for defense attorneys as well as prosecutors. We hope to help convict the guilty and exonerate the innocent."
And according to Garison, nothing CAFS does could be accomplished without the help of a medical doctor.
"Dr. Christopher Dowdy, who is an OB-GYN, is the medical director for the program. He volunteers his time. He has been with the program since February 1999. We have to have a doctor on staff; we are nurses, so we need a doctor. Without him, it would be impossible to have this program. He oversees the center. He takes a very active interest. All I have to do is call him and he's there."
At this time, CAFS is capable of collecting and storing DNA samples. Garison said she is currently working on a project to fund a DNA testing laboratory within CAFS. After researching the project, Garison estimates it will take around $2.5 million just for the building and equipment needed for DNA testing. Garison feels the expensive endeavor would be worthwhile.
"It could take a year or more to get back DNA evidence after sending a sample to a lab with testing capabilities," Garison said. "One police officer told me he would not be able to use the DNA evidence because by the time he got it back, the statute of limitations on that case had expired."
"This is a very expensive program to operate," Garison said of CAFS. "We depend on fundraisers and the community to keep our doors open."
The office for CAFS is open five days a week, but Garison said they are available to help any time or any day.
"We are available 24/7," Garison said. "One thing that sets us apart from a hospital emergency room or hospital program is that we will go anywhere there is a need. If we need to go to a nursing home or a physician's office, we will go. We are focused on the patient and beginning their healing process after a traumatic event when they need somebody to be there."

Congratulations! The cost of your health insurance is increasing.
Congratulations! The cost of your health insurance is increasing.
What? You don�t think that�s a reason for celebration? Good, you�re avoiding a mistake that�s far too common among economic analysts, especially Republicans.
Academic studies and news media regularly report that in recent decades the middle class has been stagnating economically. Conservative and libertarian analysts often downplay these stories by saying that while wages for people in the middle of the economic spectrum may look flat, their total compensation has been rising steadily.
So, for example, Michael D. Tanner, of the Cato Institute, trying to present a more optimistic economic picture, recently observed that �incomes among lower- and middle-income workers have been shifting from cash wages to non-cash benefits such as health insurance and pensions.�
Count those benefits, he added, and �inequality may not be growing at all.�
A recent study reported that median household income had risen only 22 percent from 1979 to 2007. An article in National Review, the conservative magazine where I work, responded by noting that using a broader measure of income raised that number to 46 percent. That broader measure counted health benefits.
Excluding such benefits when measuring inequality, writes Ron Haskins, a conservative scholar of social policy, �is roughly equivalent to estimating the size of a city by counting the names in the phone book, but ignoring all names that begin with �R,� �S,� and �T.��
Conservatives are right that trends in total compensation look better than trends in wages. But that�s not a reason for complacency. It�s a problem. What the numbers mean is that increases in health-care costs have depressed wage growth, and sometimes kept wages from rising at all.
If there�s a consensus among health economists about anything, it�s that employer-provided health benefits come out of wages. If health insurance were cheaper, or the marketplace were structured so that most people bought health coverage for themselves rather than getting it with their jobs, people would be paid more and raises would be higher.
If people consciously decided to spend most or all of their pay increases on health care, that would be one thing. They don�t. Current policies elaborately disguise how much health coverage costs people. Because the federal government taxes wages but not health benefits, employers provide more of the latter and less of the former than they otherwise would. Most people have no idea how much money they have forgone in wages because of those benefits. They never see the money.
Health benefits are, of course, valuable to people, and the increase in their cost over the last generation � which those statistics on rising compensation show � partly reflects that medicine can do more than in the past. It also reveals a lot of waste and inefficiency, however, rather than increased well- being.
The less people�s wages rise, the less they feel they�re getting ahead, regardless of what�s happening to their health premiums. During the middle of the last decade, conservatives talked about �the Bush boom� and wondered why it wasn�t more widely appreciated. One reason: Wages were flat even as compensation rose. Because conservatives didn�t see the importance of cash wages, they misunderstood the politics of the economy. Flat or slowly rising wages have probably also reduced public support for useful reforms such as freeing trade and cutting corporate-tax rates.
The research that conservatives cite, in other words, doesn�t show that wage stagnation is nothing to worry about. It helps explain a troublesome trend. If you ignore the role of health costs in suppressing wage growth, you might be tempted to rely too much on other explanations, such as a technology slowdown or the decline of unions. The data also make clear that reducing health inflation would go a long way toward boosting wages.
President Barack Obama�s health-care law is supposed to bring costs down, although there is reason for skepticism. Conservatives have their own ideas, but Republican politicians haven�t done much to advance them, partly because they haven�t paid much attention to the link between health costs and wages. (In fairness, Democrats sometimes get this link wrong, too.)
Conservatives shouldn�t say that the wage-stagnation problem is an illusion because health benefits have been rising. They should say, instead, that the problem is real and that surging health costs are a major cause. The American dream isn�t to pay ever-higher health premiums.

Interestingly, I never understood how Yuki managed to steal the power from Haruhi. As I recall, the explanation given was that Haruhi lost control of her powers while in Closed Space, and Yuki was able to nab it. Anyone have an explanation for how she managed to do that?

Although we know Yuki logically should be competent enough to cook for herself, you never know, maybe Kimidori took over Asakura's role after she was deleted and is now cooking meals for Yuki (who's a notoriously big eater).

I was under the impression she made her drinks vanish with inhuman speed when she wished, but I don't remember that particular trait.
As for the rest, I figured that the two options explaining how that fight went down were that either Asakura was a flaming incompetent, or she was playing for the fans (read: Kyon) The only thing that dissuades me from thinking that is Kuyoh's arrival on the scene, proving that there are in fact other factions of Data Entities running around, so that part of Ryoko's story checks out now.
I'm not sure how else to resolve the problem, unless Kyon has some sort of resistance to data manipulation that we've never been told about.

To go back a couple of tangents (sorry if that's a problem). I have to say that I don't really think that the Asakura that was brought back in Disappearance is the same one that was originally around.
I always thought of it in terms of alt!Asakura being a manifestation of all the desires of Yuki in that universe: someone to look after and protect her. Asakura is basically her guardian in that universe, but also represents the negative traits of it as well, that being selfishness. So even though Yuki wanted to give Kyon a choice, part of her somewhere deep down probably didn't, and so that got transferred to Ryoko, who acted not only on that, but on a twisted version of the guardianship that she was assigned.
As for food, according to the novels Yuki can at least drink like a champ, and although it's implied that she could probably eat all she wants of just about whatever she wants, she eats normal portions, just in a noticeably efficient manner.

The DITE is very different from Kuyoh's Sky Canopy Dominion (who actually comes up with these translated names, anyway?). I would think that, to secure Kyon's trust in Yuki and through her the DITE, the fight might have been staged for Kyon to jump over to Yuki's side as soon as possible, before the SCD can do anything.
Do I think Yuki wants the world so badly that she can kill Kyon for it? No, I don't. However, the baser instincts of Asakura probably brought about that reaction (after suffering the rage of all who says she's incompetent!), and went a step further in stabbing Kyon. Remember, this Asakura is still human, as with all other characters in alt!Universe. None of her alien loyalty or missions. But still, humans, as we all know, are capable of killing at the drop of a hat.

Endless Eight and Disappearance
Hello guys, since I cant watch the movie, I kinda re-watched the two whole seasons of Haruhi without stop and kinda paid attention to endless eight ... much to my surprise I actually managed to sit through it and enjoyed it quite well its kinda fun in a way looking for the subtle and not so subtle difference. But, Im not here to wax lyrical about endless eight. The focus of this post is the fact I noticed that Bamboo Rhapsody episode happened before endless eight. It was even much more noticeable if you watch season 2 alone.
Now, I believe this is a big deal since most believes that endless eight is the main reason for disappearance. Many believed that Yuki was so bored of repeating the same 2 weeks for roughly 594 years and thus wished for a world where everything is normal and she has freedom to do as she wished. I do believe that this is true, but after rewatching I believe this is not the only reason that disappearance happened. I would even like to state that in a way disappearance is the reason for endless eight exists or at least one of the culprit.
The important clue here is Yuki synchronized with herself but only until the Tabanata 3 years forward. After the bamboo rhapsody episode, Yuki no longer has much foreknowledge about the future except disappearance in which she knows that shell go astray but not the actual cause of it. Then, endless eight happened, wherein the present is stuck in a groundhog loop time itself is not going to go forward. The S.O.S brigade cannot do anything about it since beside Yuki most of the time they are unaware that a loop is even happening and Yuki will not break the loop itself since according to her she is only here to observe.
Yukis reason for not breaking and telling the rest what is happening is technically true, observing Haruhi is her function, but really we already have enough evidences that Yuki does not strictly follow that. If observing is her only function then any result will be fine for her but, Yuki actively safeguards the brigade and helps ensure the best possible scenario from happening. Of course, this could be tacked on as additional duties she took on as part of her observation duties, but breaking the loop could also constitute this. If Yuki really is bored out of her mind and wants the loop to be broken shell do something about it and pass it to the IDTE as there are no more new data happening, thus needing some proactive action. But, Yuki despite being bored out of her mind did not do anything - meaning something is stopping her which is the knowledge of disappearance .
Let us put ourselves in Yukis shoes for a minute, we know that we will do an error in the future but is unable to stop the error from actually occurring. As time passes by, she get closer to committing the error and her foreknowledge of the future is gone. Soon, Yuki knows something will cause her to change her current mindset and make her go astray. That is probably a very scary possibility and she must have been trying very hard to prevent it to no avail. And then, time began to continually loop around her, no one is actually getting hurt and the IDTE is still getting their data. Thus, Yuki allows the loop to continue with minimum interference in her part. No matter how much boredom Yuki will get from undergoing this loop, it is familiar and safe and as long that time is looping disappearance wont happen.
The sad thing about this is its because of endless eight that Yuki got those errors that caused said disappearance. Thus, by trying to prevent disappearance from happening endless eight occurred which made disappearance happen. When you think about it, is it no wonder Yuki sealed the ability to synchronize...

The problem is that we can safely assume, although it's not explicitly stated, that Yuki does know at least the when (at least approximately), due to the bookmark Kyon handed her, and however much else information Future!Yuki was able to piggyback on that bookmark. And she as much as says that she knew it was coming and why. She just couldn't do anything about it.

Hi quigonkenny,
I think the emergency escape program bookmark, does not have the memories of what happened after Tanabata except giving her past self the knowledge that yes your future self is the cause of this and yes your also the one who gave Kyon the way out . And remember when past Yuki attempted to synchronize with her future astray self it was denied by her future self by some sort of shielding. Unless Yuki synchronized another time that Kyon is not aware of which is 50/50 due to the fact that further synchronization will make Yuki vulnerable to the errors that future Yuki will accumulate.
Thus, I believe that Yuki has an idea of what happened in disappearance and even when but, does not know more than that. Yuki knows she will cause that time quake and knows its due erroneous errors that will build up. Yuki also knows any event that Kyon briefly narrated when he is explaining the situation is and maybe endless eight is one of those, who knows?
Anyway whether, Yuki knows endless eight or not, the loops are excellent way of gathering information and preventing disappearance from happening. Assuming that the past months in the SOS brigade Yuki has not figured it out. Yuki will then not help in breaking the loop since it gives her more time to figure out how to prevent herself from going astray. Thus, explaining her inaction this time and due to this, those two weeks looped that many times since with Yukis help, Kyon and the others would probably be able to figure it out before the loop reached hundred digits or even ten.
Yuki will actively prevent disappearance because her current self does not want it to happen. Even if disappearance already happened, Yuki will not simply cause it just because she in the future caused it. This is because of a belief of Yuki that was first shown in this particular novel. According to her own words, no one can guarantee that something that hasnt happened will ever occur. This meant that despite everything Yuki does not believe in predetermined events.
Its actually an interesting quirk, if you think about it. This means despite being linked to a dictatorial IDTE that dictates her lifes purpose, having a non-linear concept of time which perhaps made her feel a puppet at times and above all the disappearance where she tries to prevent something and it happened anyway. Yuki still firmly believes in free will.

The Collective at the Trillion Space
Not many people can afford to buy an entire mural. Even if they could afford one, most people couldn't fit it into their homes. A piece of a mural, however, is more manageable, both economically and spatially. Dan Garcia and Rocky Norton recently constructed an elaborate abstract mural on a masonite wall in the Trillion Space. They've decided to sell the thing at the reasonable rate of a mere $40 per square foot. You'll have a tough time finding a better contemporary art bargain.

1,001 Ways to Kill the Novel
If a novel dies in a forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?
Every year, a writer of importance announces the death of the novel. In 2004, it was V.S. Naipaul standing over the novel's grave. "It is almost over," the Nobel laureate lamented. "The world has changed and people do not have the time to give that a book requires." Last autumn, Norman Mailer took the stage at the National Book Awards, wagged a finger at a crowd of professional readers and likened himself to a carriage-maker witnessing the "disappearance of his trade before the onrush of the automobile."

The Real Girl's Guide To Wearing A Crop Top
The abbreviated number strikes fear into the hearts of many (including mine), but in the spirit of testing out every trend, I knew I couldn't sit this one out. My mission? Find two ways to wear a crop top so that you feel confident without a second thought about hitting the gym. Read on for my tips on how to execute the look with ease, sans any sucking in.
Photo:Pepe Leon
Photo:Pepe Leon
Unless you have the abs of a Tracy Anderson or the self-confidence of a Tracy Flick, you might balk at the idea of wearing a crop top. But when paired with a high-waisted skirt or pants, the look feels a lot more approachable. If the sliver of skin still feels like too much, add a blazer on top so the window of visible stomach is even smaller. This way, the effect is almost more like a subtle cut-out, rather than baring your entire mid-section.
What I Wore: Nasty Gal Rapid Motion Bustier ($48); Loft Petite Matte Stretch Twill Open Blazer ($118) in Black; A.L.C. Striped Knit Campbell Skirt ($395, available in black and white); Guess Lamber Lucite Chunky Heel Slides ($110) in White Leather; Anya Hindmarch Duke Clutch ($1,995) in Shagreen In Clementine; Westward Leaning Wintermute N°10.5 Mirror Sunglasses ($210) in Shiny Black and Matte; Jennifer Fisher x Stop It Right Now Ring ($100) in Yellow Gold; Jennifer Fisher Oversized Curb Chain Cuff ($1,085); Jennifer Fisher Single Medium Safety Pin Earring ($400); Jennifer Fisher XL Double Nail Cuff ($1,230); Kathleeen Whitaker Small Dot Earring ($40).

When picking a bag, resist going for a matchy-matchy look, and try selecting a contrasting color to make your outfit feel more dynamic. Tip: to find the ideal shade, use a color wheel to locate the hue opposite one of the main colors in your outfit. For example, orange is across from blue and green, so I knew the tangerine clutch would pair well with my striped skirt.
Photo:Pepe Leon
Lest the inherently edgy crop top feel too tame when paired with a pencil skirt and blazer, I added a hint of punk via safety pin earrings.
Photo:Pepe Leon
From behind, my outfit looks completely conservative, yet when I turn around, the peek of skin adds a bold touch.

A wooden heel feels in step with the spring season.

For those who feel uncomfortable baring any part of their midsection, there's an easy solution: layer a t-shirt underneath the bustier. The '90s-inspired look is perfect for a more casual ensemble and feels like a fashion-forward interpretation of the trend. Case in point: street style darling, Taylor Tomasi-Hill, is a fan of the styling trick.
What I Wore: Nasty Gal Rapid Motion Bustier ($48); Rag & Bone Genesis V-Neck ($125) in Bright White; Levi's 501 Jeans ($122) in Slash; IRO Ashville Leather Biker Jacket ($1,274); Cole Haan Bowdin Small Backpack ($278) in Black; Belle by Sigerson Morrison Eris Mules ($225) in Black; Westward Leaning Mercury Seven N°3.3 Sunglasses ($210) in Aluminum; The 2Bandits North Star Ring ($98) in Antique Silver; Valentina Kova Sasha Glauka Necklace ($372) in Sterling Silver; Rue Gembon Paige Necklace ($45) in Silver.
Photo:Pepe Leon
Whenever I'm accessorizing an edgier look, I usually opt for layering silver jewelry, as it lends a cool-girl quality to the outfit.
Photo:Pepe Leon
With any piece you're feeling unsure about, it helps to take along a cover-up, like my blush-colored biker jacket, that you can throw on to take the spotlight off the daring crop top. This way, the trend is just part of the overall look, not the main event.
Photo:Pepe Leon
After much trial and error, I found the ideal white t-shirt has a slightly looser fit, but is still tight enough that it skims the body. The neckline should also be a scoop or a v-neck—crew necks need not apply! Lastly, roll up the sleeves for a lived-in look.
Photo:Pepe Leon
If you haven't heard, mules are totally having a moment. The best part? They pair just as well with slouchy denim in an off-duty outfit like the one I'm wearing, as they do with a polished midi skirt for the office.
More crop top inspiration, right this way.

A crop top plus a circle skirt make a particularly girly pairing. Finish the look with moto boots for a touch of edge.

Or, you could just build stuff that doesn't suck. Just a suggestion, Acer.

text: Along the lines of the December LSAT, I don't complain about employees at their work, but there was a lot of cell phone rule breaking at my test site that wasn't enforced. Multiple people had cell phones and were only told to turn them off. One person's cell phone went off after the break during section 4 and it was only confiscated for the test. I thought bring a cell phone to the test site warranted automatic dismissal? I am not going to call and complain because I don't like to affect people's employments, but perhaps it should be stressed more firmly to the proctors that cell phones are STRICTLY prohibited.

Profile of Tina Turner
Name at birth: Anna Mae Bullock
Tina Turner was only 18 when she began singing with frenetic rhythm & blues star Ike Turner in the late 1950s. Eventually the two married and Tina got nearly equal billing in the band, which became known as Ike and Tina Turner Revue. Their hot stage act was a hit on repeated tours of the U.K. and the U.S. and they released several records; their biggest hit, "Proud Mary," came out in 1970. Tina Turner left Ike in 1976, amid acrimonious tales of drugs and abuse, and went solo. (She recounted many of those stories in a 1986 autobiography, I, Tina.) In 1984 she released the album Private Dancer. It included a number one single ("What's Love Got to Do With It?") and won Grammy Awards for record of the year, female pop performance and female rock vocal of the year. Turner settled into her new persona as a proud survivor and grande dame of R&B, and continued to record and tour her high-energy act into the 21st century, including a worldwide "50th Anniversary Tour" in 2008. She also tried her hand at acting, most notably as the Acid Queen in The Who's rock opera Tommy (1975) and as the domineering Aunty Entity in the apocalyptic Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985, with Mel Gibson).
In her autobiography, Turner says that Ike gave her the stage name of Tina Turner before the release of their first hit single together, "A Fool In Love," in 1960… Ike and Tina Turner were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. The Hall calls them "one of the highest energy ensembles on the soul circuit in the late '60s and early '70s"… Ike Turner died in 2007… "We Don't Need Another Hero," Tina Turner's 1985 theme for Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, was also a popular hit… She was played by Angela Bassett in the 1993 biopic What's Love Got To Do With It; Laurence Fishburne played Ike.

Rated 3 out of 5 by ANALI from Love the design I really like the design of this top. I tried it on and fits true to size. I have not worn it yet, therefore I cannot comment on whether stuff sticks to the textile. But I do want to say that the mesh was not sew all the way through or just came off from from one of the stripes. That's how I received it. I got it right out of the bag and noticed right away but I really do not care as I figured mesh don't last. I was actually thinking before ordering that if the mesh got torn I would just rip it apart and leave the shirt with an open back. It just shouldn't be not sew properly and sold to the customer. I got both colors and will keep both as I really like this top and do not care for the mesh in the back.

But the girls, ages 2 and 8, had a secret: a 10-year-old sister who weighed just 32 pounds when she was freed Friday from a locked closet that reeked of urine.
"We are all still shocked," neighbor Aishah Coppage, 28, said Sunday. "We never knew there was a third child."
Officers freed the girl, who will turn 11 later this summer, after responding Friday morning to a call from a child abuse hotline. The neighbors - including one of Coppage's daughters and a niece - watched as the girl was carried to an ambulance wearing a dingy white, toddler-sized shirt and no shoes.
"She was real skinny," said 14-year-old Kelisha Parrish, Coppage's niece.
The mother, who lives in public housing, faces charges of assault and child abuse and endangerment in Jackson County Circuit Court. The Associated Press is not naming the mother to protect the child's identity.
Mike Mansur, a spokesman for the Jackson County prosecutor's office, said he didn't know if the 29-year-old woman had an attorney. Janet Baker, the woman's attorney in a previous case, didn't immediately return a call Sunday seeking comment.
The woman's boyfriend has been questioned but is not charged. He is not the father of the 10-year-old, but is the father of the two younger children, who are in protective custody.
"You could never assume anything was going on from the way they looked," said Coppage, who has lived next door to the family for three years. "They seemed spoiled to me because I never saw them get disciplined. It seemed like they didn't want for nothing."
The closet where authorities believe the 10-year-old spent much of her time backed up to Coppage's stairwell. Coppage said she never heard any banging on the walls or cries for help, but added that music was always coming from the neighboring apartment.
"They had birthday parties for the other two girls," she said. "Everything that a normal person does, they did."
Coppage said the woman never mentioned the older girl, and that the woman never let her younger daughters outside unless she was supervising them.
Coppage said her own children sometimes played with the neighbor girls on the wooden deck, but never went inside their apartment. Coppage also said the only people she saw going inside her neighbor's apartment were the woman's siblings and boyfriend.
The woman made some money braiding hair, but always did it on the steps outside her apartment, Coppage said.
She said that when the woman's utilities periodically were shut off, the woman would take the two younger girls and stay with a downstairs neighbor or her sister.
"So the whole time, the baby had to be in here," she said.
According to the probable cause statement, the mother told police that she didn't let the oldest girl leave the house because she knew she is malnourished and would "get in trouble if someone saw her."
Mansur, the prosecutor's spokesman, said the mother hasn't said why she singled the girl out.
The girl, who was taken to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, told detectives she gets in trouble "because she keeps peeing on herself."
Authorities have not released the girl's name, and the hospital declined to provide an update on the girl's condition Sunday without her name.
Because of what has happened, Coppage is thinking about asking to be moved to a different unit, adding that her 12-year-old daughter is having a tough time.
"She don't even like to be here," Coppage said. "She is scared."

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan football team slipped to 6-3 overall and 3-3 in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin after a 22-7 loss to Augustana at Tucci Stadium on Saturday (Nov. 3).
The Vikings won their fourth straight game and improved to 5-4 overall and 4-2 in the CCIW.
Augustana opened the scoring with 5:10 to play in the first quarter as Jawan Straughter ran in from 12 yards out to end a nine-play, 77-yard drive. Brady Rogers added the kick to give the Vikings a 7-0 lead.
Rogers hit on a 26-yard field goal with 12:54 to go in the first half to put Augustana ahead 10-0 before the Titans scored their only points of the day on a 16-yard TD pass to senior Tate Musselman from freshman Tyler Hook. Freshman Michael Kelley added the extra point and IWU trailed 10-7 with 10:39 to play in the half.
The next two Augustana scores were from long range. With 7:26 to play in the second, Kyle Snow caught a pass from Nick Welch and went 58 yards for a TD to give the Vikings a 16-7 edge.
With 2:07 before intermission, Eric Chandler had a 78 yard run after a catch of a pass from Welch to give Augustana a 22-7 lead at halftime.
There were no points scored in the second half.
Illinois Wesleyan amassed 257 yards in the game and allowed 441 to the Vikings. Hook was 8 for 22 for 80 yards and sophomore Tyrell Bolden was 2 of 3 passing for 13 yards. Devonte Jones was the game's leading rusher, going 104 yards on 17 carries.
Eric Chandler led Augustana with 45 rushing yards on 12 carries while Welch was 17 of 28 for 277 yards and the two touchdowns.
Tim Hollowed had eight total tackles to lead IWU while Chris Simms and Mike Heaton each accounted for seven. Augustana's Joe Spindler had seven total stops to lead his team defensively while John Draminski and Matt Glawe each recorded interceptions.
Illinois Wesleyan will play it final game of the season at Elmhurst, who were winners on Saturday and are 8-1 overall and 5-1 in the league. The Bluejays would be playing for a chance to be in the NCAA playoffs and earn a share of the CCIW title.

Hi Raven and thanks. Yes I agree it is difficult to pick as some months are lean & it's difficult to post something and some you are spoilt for choice. Just adds to the interest but no real reason why you can't post extra shots now you've posted your first 12. We could have a thread for ones that got away.
I love the light you grabbed in October and November and that star trail is really cool. I definitely must have a go at that one day. The details in the August & September landscapes are great too, I wouldn't have described them as safe they look pretty good to me. Thanks for joining in.

You Should Watch Miss Supercross Dianna Dahlgren Put On Her Pants Right Now
She captioned the video, "Damn pants! For all the girls who got booties out there you know the struggle is REAL!" and we sympathize. She's right—it does look rather difficult for a woman like Dianna to put on her pants. And then we sympathized again when we re-watched it. We spent most of this morning sympathizing, actually.
The last time we checked in on Dianna, she was showing us how much better snowboarding is when she does it wearing just a bikini. She was right about that, too.
And there's also this:

Quote Sheet
Chicago Fire 1 – 1 Houston Dynamo
Toyota Park – April 15, 2012
Mike Matkovich – Assistant Coach
On the game:
"Obviously we're a little disappointed that we didn't get the game in its' entirety, but we can't control the Lord above. It was a difficult night to play… rain, wind, starts, stops… the one key thing is, we were down a goal, we had a good response, we scored within three minutes to tie it. I felt that if the game would've went on, we could have pulled three points out of the night. But I give our guys a lot of credit. They fought hard and there was a lot of adversity. I thought our focus was good. The guys came out and kept their focus to try to get three points. Unfortunately, we ended up in a draw, but we will reevaluate and get ready for Toronto."
On whether he agreed with the decision to call the game?
"Yes, if you looked at the radar, there was not much we could do. It was moving from the South to the North… you have a difficult situation. I think the league probably made the right decision. And with the new rules and the lightning detectors, you have to wait every thirty minutes if there's a strike. We had one at 9:05, I think Leo was watching the radar. So you wait thirty minutes, and there is some more instances with the village as well, as to how late you can start the game. So I think it was probably the right decision.
Leo Percovich – Assistant Coach
On creating more goal scoring opportunities?
"We had good chances tonight, we have a lot of mobility. The team tried to play great soccer for the first half, I guess the wind… their goalkeeper made a couple good saves. We missed a couple passes at the end because the field was so wet. Houston tried to put good pressure on them, but Grazzini made a good opportunity to score. I think we were very aggressive. If we kept going in this game, we would've won this game. You can see in the second half, we wanted to play. Houston had players falling down. We had good chances in the first half against the wind and then more for sure in the second half.
On Arne Friedrich and his first regular season game with the Club
"We were so happy. The whole team is happy that he is here. He didn't play for a long time and he did a great job for us in the first game. He is going to get better and better but his talent quality is not limited to a soccer player. He is another player that has come to help this beautiful group we have. And now that Cory has this injury, we miss him too, but the most important thing is that Arne will play more and will have more opportunities to help the team.
Logan Pause Chicago Fire midfielder
On his goal:
"I was trying to get away. I'm chalking it up to old age and not being able to get out of the way of Pavel's (Pardo) shot. Patrick (Nyarko) and I are on the inside of the wall to add more of a visual block for the goalkeeper, but the ball came right at me. I tried everything I could to get out of the way, but it tagged me in the back and went into the goal."
On the result:
"The frustration tonight comes from the fact that we were right there – pushing for three points. I don't think it's something that's building. We're excited to get back into a routine of games on the weekend. If you talk to the group I think we're all happy with some of the moments in the first half – as a group we were really on the same page, were very dangerous and organized. It's disappointing at home to let two points drop, but it is what it is and we need to move forward and get ready for next weekend."
On what went well:
"Tonight you could see how well guys were moving and the simplicity of getting the ball on the attacking half. It allowed guys like Saba (Grazzini) and Marco (Pappa) to be creative, and defending you saw everyone working extra hard at home and really competing. There were times in the first couple of games where guys would get frustrated with the how things were going or whatever, and I think today we were a lot more patient as a group.
Play has really improved because the guys are getting into the routine of what it takes week in and week out, and also getting more familiar with each other."
On losing Cory Gibbs:
"Cory has been a big part of this team and club, and it's not easy losing a guy like that on the field and off the field. But injuries happen, that's why you have thirty guys on the roster, it's not the first time it's happened. We're just fortunate to have Arne (Friedrich) here and healthy - he's adapted and fit right in. Of course we're wishing Cory (Gibbs) a speedy recovery and look forward to his return."
Arne Friedrich, Chicago Fire defender
On the result:
"It's not good because we lost 25 minutes, and one point is not good at home – we should have won today. It's sad, but we cannot do anything so we need to turn our focus to next week."
On refocusing after the severe weather delay:
"I have never seen this before. I don't know if this happened before in America, but both teams had to deal with it. I guess for both teams it was not easy, but for me it would better if we could played the last 25 minutes."
Pavel Pardo Chicago Fire midfielder
On coming back from the severe weather delay:
"This is hard for us. It's the first time I ever saw this in my life, and it's hard. They stopped the game, we were delayed for a long time, then it was delayed again and finally called. It's hard also because we know we are a good team at home, and when we play at home we are very dangerous. It's difficult because it's like they are taking two points from us. It's hard for us to accept this, but these are rules. "
On the Fire goal:
"I hit the ball and then it stuck him (Logan Pause) in the back and went in. It was good because the goal tied the game, which was good for us."
Houston Dynamo Head Coach Dominic Kinnear
On what he said to the team during a 53 minute lightening delay:
"I just left them alone, and gave them updates about the timeline. When we first came in, we talked a little about what we saw on the field, what we need to work on, and we'll give them updates about when the game will resume. I didn't want to get them going or pump them up; just wanted to leave them alone."
On pushing aggressively into the Fire's half:
"They like to play in the middle of the field and we were just hoping to play wide and attack those areas. I thought when we did do that, we opened up some decent gaps and scored a really nice goal tonight. We haven't given up the best goals this year but that's the way it goes. We wanted to come in here and not sit back-the Fire have a lot of talented players, like Pappa, Grazzini, Nyarko that if you give them time on the ball they're going to hurt you. Some of the other things you can try to do is make them defend deeper and if they get the ball, they can't hurt you as much as they possibly could if they were playing forward."
Houston Dynamo Forward Will Bruin
On his goal:
"Brian and I combined, then he played me a great ball in, and I really didn't think about it, I just tried to finish it, be composed and keep it on frame, and luckily it did."
On taking advantage of the rain delay to regroup:
"Obviously you don't want to stop in the middle of the game, because then you have to go back and warm up, and you might get tight but we came in, we talked and regrouped because we really didn't start off with as much energy as we wanted to so it gave us a second chance to go out and make a better statement off the bat and we did.
On the momentum Houston was building right before the match was stopped:
"We were starting to get things going a little bit with the last 5-10 minutes [before the game was stopped]. We had a few chances before and then the storm came in and it is what it is."
Houston Dynamo Goalkeeper Tally Hall
On his team's performance after the first rain delay:
"I think it wasn't our best start to the start of the game, but after the lightening delay, we said we needed to do a better job coming off the start and this will give us an opportunity to have a better start. We came off playing well, and came out well coming out of the halftime break. It was a tough start to the game for us, but I think we came back and fought well. It's another deflection goal against us, which is very unlucky but at the same time you can look at it as we didn't give them many clean chances. I thought it was a great performance by us, a good fight. We're on the road against a very good team and realistically a one-one draw coming out here-I am proud of the guys."
On whether he is disappointed leaving with a 1-1 draw:
"It was disappointing because I thought the team was playing its best soccer when the second lightening delay happened, so it was unfortunate that's when we started feeling our best and when Calen [Carr] came in and within a couple minutes he was very dangerous. We were on our front foot, game stops and so be it. We didn't have enough time to win the game but like I said, Chicago is a great team. They're so dangerous attacking and I think it's a good result for us."
On whether he was screened on the goal from Pause:
"I read the initial shot well, I thought it was going to be not a standard save, but low to my left and I thought I was going to collect it and the ball travels ten yards and does something different. It's always hard to readjust and I felt like I got close; it's a save I want to make. But when it's a deflection it's hard but it is what it is. I am proud of the guys to limit the team to the few chances they did have says something about the quality of our organization because Chicago is a dangerous team all the time. You can never take a break, they're too good."

Rated 4 out of 5 by Chris001 from Beautiful Summer piece When you try on the dress it says take off all your jewelry. That is not a simple warning but a serious notice. The fabric is very delicate; I do not wear any jewelry with this dress. I've worn it with 6 in wedges from Michael Kors and every time I've gone out in it I've gotten tons of compliments. The material is very fragile, so much so that I hang it back up into my closet after wearing so it won't snag with bras or anything else. My dress is still in very good condition, but I can see how it would not be good to spend over $100 for a one time wear. I've worn mine 3 times so far. I bought the tan one. It was selling out very quickly out of the stores. The tan looks beautiful, but it is not a dress for someone who will just toss it on the floor after wearing, otherwise there will be snags. Very beautiful dress though.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Zoeee from So unimpressed with the quality...ruined 1st wear I pretty much only shop at bebe... I've purchased thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of clothing from them. I bought this dress in the nude color it was available in a few months ago. I LOVED IT when I received it, looked beautiful on and so flattering. I had read reviews about snagging and quality issues, but I figured it was due to carelessness. I treat my clothes very well and wear delicate fabrics all the time without issue, so I went ahead and ordered. I have a few other bebe dresses in this exact same material and haven't had problems. I wore this dress ONCE and it is completely ruined. It came apart along a seam, leaving a huge hole that cannot be fixed due to the material and multiple snags all over. It's unwearable. So disappointed. Not sure what went wrong with the construction here, but for nearly $200 CAD, after shipping and duty I expected to wear it more than once. I'm a very loyal customer and hope bebe does something to remedy this.

Rated 2 out of 5 by JazzyWill from Cute but... The dress is really nice! I expected it to be a little more fitted. The material is very very delicate and could Fray very easily. I wore the dress with wedges and the material caught on the buckle and made a big hole. I would wait till it went on sale. Great dress but I don't know if I would buy it again. Be careful with jewelry!

Rated 5 out of 5 by nikkiboston from amazing! Just got this dress in the mail. I was a bit worried that the Small would be too tight on me(I am 5'5 and a curvy 140-145lbs). I tend to vary in Bebes sizing, and in Bebe body con dresses I buy a M/L. however the small is PERFECT. it fits me like a glove with room to stretch. I was surprised how flattering this dress was. from the picture I assumed it would show every imperfection and bulge but it is SUPER flattering, even in the midsection. I haven't worn it out yet, so I can't speak on the quality of the fabric yet. however the material doesn't seem nearly as delicate as some past reviewers mentioned. Perhaps Bebe has improved the quality due to complaints? anyways, I will be sure to spray it with Fray Check before I wear it out just as a precaution. Anyways. GET THIS DRESS. It tends to sell out fast and you won't regret it. Don't size up, if anything, maybe size down.

Rated 3 out of 5 by SoBea from Pretty dress but.. The dress is very pretty, form fitting and sexy. However, I agree with the other reviews. The material is very delicate and cheap. Right out of the box it had a few small pulls in the fabric already. I have not worn it yet but can't imagine it will hold up. You definitely can't wear bracelets with this. Also, around the bust area the stripes are not horizontal as they are on the rest of the dress. The stripes curve around the chest creating an odd drooping look.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jerseygirl654 from casual or formal- whichever you prefer! This dress is great! I purchased it for a wedding I am attending in a few weeks which happens to be themed "white wedding." I was nervous about the "egret" color but it looks perfectly fine. Fitting: I ordered a size XS I am 5'2, 115 pounds, 26 waist, 34C. This dress fit like a glove however I had to get 3 1/2 inches hemmed off because I plan on wearing flats. I sprayed Fray Check onto the dress 2 times in hopes that it does not unravel or rip as the other people had complained of this issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nanine from Beautiful This dress is super soft and is fitted without feeling tight. You can't help but feel glamorous in it.
