Thats interesting, I've seen these many times, always attributed to riihimaki(sometimes Nanny Still), and I thought that's what they were, due to the sheer number of times they have been thus attributed on ebay, etc, even though they don't seem quite right for riihimaki. .
One possibility is "pressed and blown" - a process commonly associated with mass production, but I suppose someone might have adapted it. A very heavy pressing is made (enabling the top to be formed), and then, handling by the top ring, is quickly transferred to a blow mould of the finished shape and surface pattern and then blown to finish.
Yes the fascinating Inca vase does have a similar "formed" rim.
To clarify, I guess the only similarity is the fact that it is formed rather than cracked/ground/polished/ fire polished.
The comparison here is only in technique NOT maker. It would seem that this technique is very widely used.
Highly skilled workers called gatherers wind hot molten glass on a hollow blowpipe or the tip of a long steel rod called a punty. After judging the proper amount, the gatherer must shape the gob of glass properly and drop it precisely in the center of the mould. The presser's function is to ensure that the glass takes the proper form of the mould. Too much pressure, and the glass will shatter; too little pressure and the mould will not fill properly. For some pieces, the molten glass is blown into a mould to form the basic shape and pattern. Finishers use what is known as pucellas or "tool" and a cherry wood paddle to finalize the form, flaring, crimping and/or straightening the glass. This requires a well-honed sense of timing because all these actions must be completed before the glass cools into its solid form.
Each piece is handcrafted, carefully hand-blown into a mould that imparts the âLoganberryâ design

I've had lots of fun building custom maps over the years and thought I would finally package them up and release them to the community. Hope you try them out! Feel free to challenge me to any of them. =)
Download the full map pack here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3ucr4tnxuol9 ... hizfa?dl=1
There are three categories of maps:
- Competitive: These maps are fairly standard with close quarters and many attack vectors.
- Team Builder: These maps allow you to custom build your team each time you play. Whenever you move your Unit #1 out, your Unit #2 dies (same for 3&4, 5&6, 7&8). This means that you won't know what type of opponent you are facing each play-through.
- Just for Fun: These maps all feature crazy things I just wanted to try.
Competitive: Flowbie
A sort-of remake of Lyx's "Flow" as the download link no longer worked -- but I really liked the concept...
Competitive: Lockdown
Three primary conflict routes with lots of corners and narrow passages...
Competitive: Confrontation
Poke a hole and get busy...
Competitive: Checkmate
Maximizing the unpredictability...
Competitive: Pegasys
This map contains a few detonation spots to change the landscape. The first two are beside the home bases (which detonate the north-west and south-east zones). The central detonators remove the inside walls enabling base-to-base combat.
Team Builder
Team Builder: Outreach
Dynamic units, multiple paths, and half-wall wrappings. Probably my favourite map.
Team Builder: Strain
Extremely tense combat as each entry path contains limited cover...
Team Builder: Convection
Shotgun paradise with rewarding machine gun sight-lines...
Team Builder: Double Crossed
I wanted to try a map that forced an initial confrontation on the way to victory...
Team Builder: Impact
Do you brave the guantlet? or chew through the walls?
Just for Fun
Just for Fun: Tic Tac Toe
Now there is a game within the game...
Just for Fun: Detonator
Every half-wall spawns a small explosion that removes the full-wall in front of it. Also features fixed sniper-turrets...
Just for Fun: Block Party
Just a slaughter fest...
Just for Fun: Breach
Build your own map walls in real time... (10-15 rounds recommended)
Just for Fun: Decisions
Which way do you run? Which way do you think they will run? This map always makes me laugh...
Just for Fun: Plinko
This is a very tough map to play; more fun to look at then to try to win.

You are in Nestlé USA
To meet the fast-rising demand for its premium coffee capsules and advanced coffee machines, Nespresso is opening its first boutique on the west coast of the United States, in San Francisco.
Nespresso is rapidly expanding its customer base in the US as more and more discerning coffee drinkers discover its coffee, sourced from only the highest quality beans in the top 1-2% of the world's supply.
There are currently more than 300 Nespresso boutiques worldwide where coffee connoisseurs can sample the brand's extensive collection of high-quality coffees and buy capsules, machines and a range of accessories to help them brew the best coffee at home.
The new San Francisco boutique is Nespresso's fifth in the US. A sixth will open in Los Angeles later this year.
Revolutionary Brand
"The United States is experiencing a coffee renaissance, particularly in the single-serve market," said Patrice Bula, Nestlé Executive Vice President and Chairman of Nespresso, at the opening of the boutique in San Francisco.
"Nespresso has been revolutionizing the coffee experience in Europe and we're now accelerating our expansion in the US, so more coffee-lovers can enjoy our unique, high-quality offering.
"The Nespresso brand is not simply about exceptional coffee. It combines the finest-quality beans with the most advanced machine technology and a personalized service to offer consumers the perfect cup."
Coffee Expertise
The Nespresso boutique in San Francisco has baristas and coffee experts on hand at all times to answer consumers' questions.
Private consultations can be arranged to help consumers decide which coffees best suit their tastes.
Gourmet Tastes
"What's happening to coffee today is much like what happened to wine in the 1980s," Mr. Bula continued.
"Back then, few people knew much about wine, but today many are more discerning about the quality of the wine they drink.
"We see the same thing happening with coffee today. More and more consumers are looking for the superior coffee experience at home that Nespresso provides with its unique systems."
Premium Coffees
The new Nespresso boutique in San Francisco is located in the city's Union Square, an area famous for its fine dining, art galleries, and high-end boutiques and chic hotels.
It was designed by Italian architect Aldo Parisotto and brand consultancy Futurebrand and features furniture from Danish design company Fritz Hansen.
Consumers can enjoy a cup of one of Nespresso's 16 premium 'Grand Cru' coffees, or choose a light breakfast, lunch or dinner from a menu of dishes made primarily with locally-sourced ingredients.
They can use the boutique's 'iPad bar' to go online to learn more about Nespresso, or visit the 'discovery ring' to find out more about the brand's wide range of machines and accessories.
There is also a 'self selection' room for Nespresso club members to scan and purchase goods by themselves, as well as an area to drop off used coffee capsules for recycling.
Nespresso has continued to grow since it was launched by Nestlé over a quarter of a century ago. Today, it is the industry reference for premium portioned coffee.
The company operates in more than 50 countries and has more than 7,000 employees. Its headquarters are in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Clint Eastwood has donated the fee he received for his controversial Super Bowl commercial to charity.
From World Entertainment News Network:
The Dirty Harry, Paint Your Wagon and Unforgiven star was accused of endorsing President Barack Obama's re-election campaign in his two-minute advertisement for Chrysler, about the resurgence of the auto industry in Detroit.
In the clip, Eastwood says: "They almost lost everything. But we all pulled together — now Motor City is fighting again. Yeah, it's halftime, America. And our second half's about to begin."
Eastwood has refuted claims he is affiliated with Obama and has assured voters he didn't pocket any money for the promo.
He tells Fox:
"l am certainly not politically affiliated with Mr. Obama. It was meant to be a message about just about (sic) job growth and the spirit of America. I think all politicians will agree with it. I thought the spirit was OK. I am not supporting any politician at this time. Chrysler, to their credit, didn't even have cars in the ad. Anything they gave me for it went for charity. If… Obama or any other politician wants to run with the spirit of that ad, go for it."

Today's interviewee is Rolf Potts. Rolf is a successful travel writer, with credits in top magazines such as Conde Nast Traveler, National Geographic Traveler, Outside, etc. He is creator and editor of Vagabonding.com, author of Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel, and has a column called Traveling Light at Yahoo! News.
Hi Rolf and welcome to My Year of Getting Published. So glad you were able to find time in your hectic schedule to talk with us.
Did you always want to be a writer ? How did you get started writing?
My writing aspirations can be traced back to about age 13, when I started writing horror stories in the style of Stephen King. This horror-writing phase didn't last long, but it helped winnow the creative urge, and familiarize me with the basics of putting a prose narrative together.
Later I became involved with my high school newspaper, and I wrote a humor column for my campus newspaper in college. After college, I traveled the United States for eight months, living out of a VW van. Fancying myself a kind of new Jack Kerouac, I tried to write a book about this travel experience, but that ultimately failed when I couldn't interest any agents or editors. Out of money and not sure what to do next, I went to Korea to teach English for a couple years.
What do you consider your first "break" as a travel writer?
In Korea, I learned how to live within another culture, and I became a more seasoned, instinctive traveler. I also learned from the shortcomings of my failed USA travel book, and sharpened my writing, keeping in mind the narrative needs of my readers. During my second year in Korea, I rewrote one of my USA book chapters (about Las Vegas) and sold it to Salon.com's travel section. Encouraged by this small success, I strengthened my relationship with my Salon editor by writing some travel stories about Korea. He published about five of them.
At this point, I'd saved a lot of money from teaching, and I'd planned on traveling through Asia and Europe for over a year. Since I had an editorial contact at Salon, I decided to pitch him with a travel column idea. He wasn't sure about this idea at first, so I hit the road on my trip and continued to write stories.
It just so happened that Leonardo DiCaprio was shooting the travel-oriented movie "The Beach" in Thailand, so I decided to try and sneak onto the set of the movie as an experiment about the motivations and idiosyncrasies of travel. My attempt to sneak onto the movie set failed, but the resulting story, "Storming The Beach", made the cover of Salon and landed in the 2000 edition of The Best American Travel Writing. I got the travel column at Salon, and that turned out to be a big turning point in my career, as it raised my exposure one-hundred-fold. Editors of glossy magazines like Conde Nast Traveler invited me to write for them, and I've been freelancing for various travel venues -- National Geographic Traveler, Outside, Slate, Islands, the San Francisco Chronicle, etc. -- ever since.
What advice would you give to someone who is considering going into travel writing?
Travel a lot. Read a lot. Write a lot. Unless you're obsessively well-traveled, well-read, and committed to developing your narrative voice, you're going to get out-written by people who are willing to concentrate on these things.
Rarely do people become professional travel writers before they have done lots of travel on their own dime - so be prepared to do that. One great way to do this is to live overseas for awhile. Get a job as a stringer or an English teacher or a bartender and experience a culture at gut level for awhile. It will make a huge difference in how you perceive and experience other cultures.
It also helps to find an area of expertise. An area of expertise might be a physical area, such as Southeast Asia or Scandinavia, or the Rocky Mountains; or it may be a travel specialty, such as extreme sports, or golf, or low-budget travel, or spa travel. Keep in mind it will take you a long time to accumulate expertise -- but you'll have fun doing it. With enough expertise, you may be able to write for (or create) guidebooks, and you can do lots of freelancing on the side.
At the end of the day, though - and I'm sure this holds true for all kinds of journalism - how well you write will make or break you. You can have the wildest adventures on earth, or understand a culture through and through, but unless you can write well, your career isn't going to go anywhere.
What is your biggest challenge in the research and writing process?
I'm a slow writer and a somewhat obsessive researcher, so often the biggest challenge is knowing when to stop researching and start writing. Research can often be an excuse for procrastination.
Another challenge of the writing process is focus, the process of sitting down and actually putting in the time to get the work done. On the road, distraction and spontaneity are good things, but at your desk you have to stay disciplined, not let yourself get distracted, and get your work done even if it's not always fun.
What do you see as the future for travel writers in the printed media and online ?
I think printed media won't change a whole lot, though of late I've noticed print venues are skewing their coverage to service-oriented topics instead of experiential ones. Online travel media will continue to be dynamic and experimental -- for instance, now there seems to be a big demand for video, because of YouTube, though I'm not sure how long that will last (and that doesn't really count as writing). So online travel media will probably always be distinguished by length -- that is, short length -- since the web reader has a shorter attention span than a person with a magazine or newspaper in their hands.
Finally, where is your favourite place and why?
This is tough, since I love so many places, including much of the American West, even if it's not exotic per se. I like Laos, even though I've caught cholera and dysentery there. My best adventure there was buying a local fishing boat and driving it 900 miles down the Mekong -- and I think what makes you fall in love with a place is invariably tied into the adventures you have there. I also love Mongolia and Patagonia -- both for the wonder of their landscape. I love Paris and New York or their beauty and urban energy and sense of possibility.
There are great aspects of any place you visit.

Holy Cow, Liz, you've really snagged some great interviews. I can't believe I'm in the same "room" with some of these writers! :)
Thanks for doing this; I'm learning a lot.
- KIWIWRITER said...
Everyone, it seems, is happy to tell their story.
- Terah said...
Holy Crap, Liz! What a snag! I love Rolf. In fact, I've been thinking about going to Paris (during his summer workshop) and stalking him. He is one of the reasons why I wanted to become a travel writer.
I agree with you, Sheila. I can't believe I'm in this class of people. I keep looking around expecting someone to ask me to leave.
Thanks for the ego boost!
- KIWIWRITER said...
Isn't great to be in good company. Now if I could only find a way to get you all in the same room...
But as the ads on TV say, 'but wait...there's more' so stay tuned...
Would love to go to Rolf's summer workshop in Paris but not going to happen this year...
Cheers, Liz
Ditto to the above. Liz, I love your Q&As! And your links. So glad you're out in the the blogiverse! (Is that a word now?)

Hi Kara, it's good to make up new words...long may the 'blogiverse' last'...

The port of Baltimore has applied for a $10 million federal grant — to be matched by a state grant of $19.5 million — to expand rail access and export storage at Fairfield Marine Terminal and to widen the access channel to Seagirt Marine Terminal.
The proposal, which Maryland Port Administration commissioners approved Tuesday, would tap into a $473.8 million pot called TIGER 5 funds that the U.S. Department of Transportation will distribute this fall.
Plans include dredging the approach to Seagirt to handle the widest ships in the world and using some of that material to fill a World War II-vintage basin at Fairfield to create 7.6 acres for car and heavy equipment storage. The rail spur that serves Fairfield would be extended to the waterfront to serve the storage area.
Jim Dwyer, the port administration's deputy planning director, said that work at Seagirt could begin this fall and at Fairfield in May if Baltimore gets the money.
State Transportation Secretary Jim Smith said the project would keep Baltimore's port at the top of the highly competitive East Coast market.
"We're in good shape," Smith said. "The application is well done and puts us in the game."
The Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant program is used by the U.S. Department of Transportation to invest in high-impact road, rail, transit and port projects. The TIGER grants are one of the few infrastructure improvement programs available to ports that do not involve national security upgrades. This round of grants has attracted 568 applications totaling $9 billion in requests.
Dwyer said $120 million has been set aside for rural initiatives, leaving about $353 million available.
The Seagirt project would provide better access for large ships using the Suez and the soon-to-be finished Panama Canal expansion project and enhance the output of the terminal, which recently received a $100 million upgrade that included a 50-foot-deep berth and four huge cranes.
"The ships are getting a little bit longer and a whole lot wider. There's too many doglegs on the approach," he said.
The port was unsuccessful in two earlier bids for TIGER funds to upgrade the Masonville Marine Terminal, requiring the state to pay for the entire project.
But Baltimore has two things working in its favor this time, Dwyer said: The port has most permits and environmental reviews in hand; and the state's guaranteed match is more than double the 25 percent minimum required by the federal government.

WASHINGTON, May 11 (UPI) -- U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden has apologized to President Barack Obama for jumping the gun on same-sex marriage, a Biden spokeswoman said Thursday.
Biden, appearing Sunday on NBC's "Meet The Press," said he was "comfortable" with marriages contracted between two men or two women. Obama followed suit Wednesday, although he told an ABC interviewer the vice president "probably got a little over his skis" on the issue.
Staffers say Obama had made up his mind some time ago that he should go public on same-sex marriage and planned to do it before the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., the week of Sept. 3.
"The president has been the leader on this issue from Day 1 and the vice president never intended to distract from that," The Washington Post reported Kendra Barkoff, Biden's press secretary, said in a statement Thursday.
Staffers said Biden saw Obama for the first time this week on Wednesday and apologized. The president said he understood Biden had spoken based on his beliefs, the newspaper said.

Lamborghini Aventador J
The "J" moniker on this Aventador comes from the FIA rule book; Appendix J defines technical specifications of race cars.
It also summons the spirit of the 1970 Jota, a modified one-off version of the Miura. the Aventador J is an open-air two-seater with no roof. Along with the deletion of the air conditioning system, this reduces weight even more compared with the already lithe Aventador. They share the same 6.5-liter V12 pumping out 691 hp and 509 lb-ft of torque, paired with a seven-speed automated-manual gearbox. Lamborghini calls it the most radical open super sports car in its history.

Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe VehiCROSS represents not only the most audacious vehicle Isuzu ever marketed in the U.S., but also one of the most visually distinctive products ever to come out of any manufacturer. You'll need to see if its price appears as arresting.
Did you hear that? It sounded like angels on high announcing yesterday's 1970 Opel GT, which not only came away with a massive 92% Nice Price win, but based on the responses also required many of you to have some private time with its pictures. However, who am I to judge?
Of course today you're the ones right back there on the judge's seat, resplendent in your black robes with nothing on underneath, but again, you'll receive no judgement from me. Hopefully however you are ready to pass verdict on this 2001 Isuzu VeriCROSS, which just so happens to pack an Alpine supercharger kit featuring an Eaton M-62 as its main attraction.
There's a sad tale associated with this truck and I don't mean Isuzu's death spiral here in the U.S. market. No, it seems that the present seller and a buddy made an agreement that they would pick up this VX and after the seller had stripped off a number of accessories for his own truck, the buddy would buy the now clean machine for his own. Unfortunately the buddy experienced financial difficulties - who of us hasn't at one time or another? - and had to back out of his side of the bargain.
That has resulted in the truck now ending up on the list of Craig, offered with an extensive list of upgrades and accessories still remaining, and of course that blower. The stock mill in the VX was Isuzu's quad-cam 3.5-litre V6 which was shared with the Trooper. Backing that up on U.S. trucks was a 4-speed automatic and 4WD system co-developed with Borg Warner called Torque On Demand. And after all, who doesn't like torque on demand?
With the Eaton M-62, that gets boosted to somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 which, like like a good cop/bad cop partnership, ain't half bad. The blower is claimed to have been professionally installed back when the truck had 23K on the clock. It now presents 99K which is pretty reasonable for a 13 year old, 3-owner truck. That Alpine kit by the way is 50-state compliant.
Now, we had supercharged VXs here before, and in doing some rooting around I thought I had found this truck's earlier sale post as it has a number of striking similarities - bunch of add-ons, former Californian, 2001 truck with a supercharger, and in Kaiser Silver to boot. Looking at the pictures in that post's link however shows a black and grey interior, as well as some additional goo-gaws under the hood, while this one is red and black and looks a little different in the engine compartment. I don't know, like a ship's wheel in a pirate's pants, it's driving me nuts.
Alas that's a conundrum we don't have time to solve now because we're presently too busy deciding whether this Isuzu's $11,300 price tag is a deal or not. What do you think about that much cabbage for what appears to be a well-sorted VX, does that pass muster? Or, is this a supercharged VehiCROSS whose price also blows?
You decide!

I'm Matt...I'm a software engineer in Tampa, FL. Lots of interests, but the biggest ones are saltwater aquariums, SCUBA, my corvette and of course photography! Been shooting underwater with my little ole Reefmaster for several years. Last year I decided to step up my knowledge a bit...Bought a C4040 as a learning camera...Hoping on moving up to a DSLR in the next year!

I actually met my wife while on a dive trip. I am a proud new father of 5 months (son Merreck...means "ruler of the sea")
Yes, I have been ice diving although contrary to what some may believe that is only in the dead of winter. It was hotter here than in the Bahamas on my last trip with Eric. I enjoy a good bottle of American Cabernet Sauvignonand have adopted three retired racing greyhounds.
I switched to digital photography this year a result of knowing Jim Watt. My last trips I have been fortunate to get to dive with a number of pros and great non pros (OB1). And, I love diving with sharks, especially great hammerheads, they are a truly impressive and beautiful animal to see.
ps Eric forgot to mention his like of Bengal cats.

I'm originally from California, but I live in Houston TX now. I'm a deepwater engineer specializing in deepwater pipeline design and construction. No, I don't get to dive for work - no one does. That's because the project I'm working on is in 6,000 feet of water! I like to get offshore on the weekends with my friend David in his sportfish called "Per Diem." I used to have my captains license, so it's nice to drive a boat from time to time. I also like to surf and sail. If it's too rough to go fishing, then go surfing, and vice versa!
I'm really into "everything marine." I have been keeping reef aquaria since 1993 and I help run a saltwater aquarium site called www.reefs.org. I have some pictures of my tank online at www.reefs.org/ops/jameso
I've only been diving since 1999 and shooting pix since 2000. I started with a coolpix 990 and not strobe and have been slowly working my way up the food chain. You can see some of my photos at www.reefpix.org

My name is Jeremy and I'm in management at a enterprise software company in the SF Bay Area. I have been diving since early 2001, and I'm was officially hooked from the start. I started taking UW photos at the beginning of 2002, and it is now one of my primary hobbies.
I have a started a small gallery with some photo samples, so enjoy.
I am currently using a Canon G2 in an Ikelite housing with a DS-125 strobe. I am looking to get an additional strobe pretty soon.
Happy Diving!
Posted 29 October 2002 - 04:00 PM
My name is Sandy. I am a Registered Nurse from PA. Since there's no good diving in PA my husband and I do alot of travelling. We got certified in 1995 and fell in love with the sport. We help crew on a boat in North Carolina in the summers called "the Diver Down" and take at least 3 trips to warmer climates in the off season.
I have always enjoyed photography so once I started diving I bought my first camera Sea & Sea MX10. I probably haven't done 5 dives without a camera. It's part of my equipment. I progressed to Sea & sea MMII and just recently turned digital with Aquatica 995 w/ Nikonos Sb 105 strobe.
I really enjoyed this site. Lots of great tips and seemingly (LOL) knowledgable people. Can't wait to share my photos with you and maybe someday some wisdom.
Posted 30 October 2002 - 07:10 PM
Im pete from Singapore. Im currently using the Olympus 3040 and hoping to get the Light and Motion housing soon.
Ive taken UW pics on film and i'm in the transition of moving to digital.
Ive been recreationally (if there's ever a word like that ) diving for more than 10 years now.
I enjoy this site alot and think the pics taken on Kona are the best ever!
Good job eric.

I've been a DM for about 4 years and enjoy working with students but what I like even more is mentoring those new divers who are really serious about their diving and are eager to start the real learning stage. I've been a seamtress for years, owned a quilt shop for several years, and now make do-rags for divers. Dee-Rags
Aquariums have been a part of life since I was a child. I think I've had alittle bit of everything over the years! James, I think I've talked to you a few times over on Reef.org. Didn't realize it was you!

It's a small world, eh? :-)
I have some new shots of my tank (they kinda suck though) up at:

I started diving about 15 years ago, took about 13 years off, and started back up again in early 2001. Since then, I've done about 100 dives in everything from a quarry in PA, to NJ, to Hatteras, to Cozumel, Nassau, and Truk. Like most everyone else here, I enjoy diving and photography (topside too), and I also enjoy hiking, motorcycling, and snowboarding.
Right now, my rig consists of a Sony DSC-S85 in an Ikelite housing with a DS-50 strobe, but I'm hoping to house my D60 early next year before my second trip to Truk.
Love the site, and I've definitely learned a lot from it. Thanks Eric, and most recently James. James, I wish you'd gotten a D60 instead of an S2 so i could piggy back on your experiences, damn incompatible lense mounts...
Posted 02 November 2002 - 08:34 AM
i'm located in Munich, Germany and work as a freelance software consultant.
I started diving in 1992, bought my first camera in 1995 (guess what: MX10) and went digital in 2001 with an Olympus 3030Z in a PT010. I recently added a strobe (YS90DX) and a macro lens to my rig and plan to buy a wa lens and a second strobe soon.
My husband is taking digital uw videos since 1999 (whenever he has a chance to drown a new rig :ph34r: )
There are many lakes with good visibility around where we live, but the water turned out to be way too cold for us - we go on 2-3 dive trips a year instead.
Favorite locations are the Red Sea (rather close and cheap) and Indonesia.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — An Iowa man's sunset wedding ceremony aboard a hot air balloon got off to a bumpy start when a gust of wind forced the pilot to make a crash landing in the yard of a San Diego home.
San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque says one of the 14 people onboard suffered a minor back injury Monday.
Newlyweds Kerin and Jonathan Narcisse, a former candidate for Iowa governor, told KGTV the gust caught the balloon just after they exchanged their vows, causing it to sway over the Rancho Penasquitos neighborhood.
The landing on a hillside fence behind the house was filmed by a member of the wedding party. Video showed the blue-and-yellow balloon draped over trees near the house afterward.
The couple continued to a reception.

Currently touring behind its latest album, "Like You Mean It," the California Honeydrops mix up country, gospel, folk and blues. But the biggest influence heard in the group's music is classic soul.
As heard on infectious tunes like "When It Was Wrong," the band is somewhere between Motown and Jonathan Richman, with frontman Lech Wierzynski's passionate vocals making the band's catchy material something special.
Edgy rock this is not. But anyone who likes well-crafted pop tunes steeped in Americana and a dash of vintage R&B is going to find the music of The California Honeydrops just about irresistible.

What's the best part of the holidays? Having your babies help you in the kitchen! My two-year-old wanted to help me cook and I couldn't find anything for her to do that didn't involve a hot pan, a burning oven, or a sharp knife! I took out the crescent rolls so she could play with the dough and that's when this fun idea came into my head. These little crescent roll messages are so fun and the perfect project for any little one. (Note: I used regular store bought crescent rolls for this.) Directions
5 Ways To Teach Your Kids To Be Thankful This Thanksgiving
A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues. – CiceroGratitude – or a lack thereof – is something all parents encounter during the process of raising children. At some point or other, what mother hasn't looked on with horror as her child blurted out a variant of, I dont like this! Its not what I wanted for my birthday! or worried that her kids took …
Brooke Burke's Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe
I had the most delicous turkey on Thanksgiving. You HAVE to try this the next time you are cooking a turkey. The secret ingredient is Dry Brine. You need to plan ahead two days, so keep this in mind.
Store Bought Stuffing Turned Homemade
Dressing up a store bought stuffing mix by adding a few extra ingredients is a time-saving way to make everyone's favorite Thanksgiving side dish. No one will ever know you it came from a box!
Green Bean Casserole Recipe
When serving Thanksgiving dinner there are tons of ways to make classic Thanksgiving recipes. You can multi-task during the cooking process, with this alternative way to make a green bean casserole. While using the oven to cook, use the stove top to make this delicious side dish! Stove Top Style
Scrumptious Whipped Cauliflower "Mashed Potatoes"
Craving mashed potatoes but don't want the calories and fat? This whipped cauliflower recipe will satisfy your cravings, and it tastes delicious with no guilt!
Easy to Make Desserts for Thanksgiving
Preparing a Thanksgiving dinner can take hours. If you want to cut some of that time out with an easy dessert, you could purchase a pre-made one from the store, but you can also make some desserts at home in just a few minutes. This allows you to give a more personal touch to the dishes.
Easy Thanksgiving Crafts for Children
Keep children busy while you and the other adults prepare the Thanksgiving meal by planning and preparing several crafts for them to make. You and your children can also have a Thanksgiving craft day a few days before the holiday. Make crafts that can be used as part of the table setting, such as place cards or napkin holders.
Easy Kids Thanksgiving Crafts
Put together Thanksgiving crafts for your child to create memories, or use the crafts as an opportunity to make homemade decorations and teach him about the holiday. The level of difficulty should match your child's abilities, particularly if you want her to complete the craft on her own. Plan a few different crafts that you believe your child will enjoy so she can choose her favorites.
Vegetarian Meals for Thanksgiving
While turkey takes center stage on many Thanksgiving tables, vegetarians often opt to keep with their standard eating practices and enjoy a meatless Thanksgiving. A Thanksgiving that lacks meat does not have to mean a flavorless holiday. In reality, many meatless Thanksgiving components are packed with flavor and can provide a palate-pleasing Thanksgiving meal.

Some people require specialized, aggressive care to heal their wounds. If your wound has not become significantly better in one month or completely healed in two months, look to the Lourdes Wound Care Program.
The Wound Care Program is a unique outpatient treatment center that uses a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic non-healing wounds. Therapeutic treatment plans are tailored to the individual needs of each patient. The Wound Care Program has been successful in promoting the healing of wounds that previously resisted healing and in reducing amputations.
The Program
Lourdes Wound Care Program's team of doctors, nurses, and other providers will evaluate your wound and review your medical history and general health. You may have special tests to provide information about the flow of blood and oxygen to your wound. The Wound Care team will develop a treatment plan based on your special needs. The healing progress will be evaluated at each follow-up visit until healing occurs. In addition to regular visits during your course of treatment, we will provide you with education to help prevent recurrence of the wound. A post-discharge visit will be scheduled 30 days after healing to check on your status.
For more information or to make an appointment, talk to your primary care physician or call Lourdes Wound Care Program directly at 607-798-6166 or 800-330-7558.

By Paul Lieb owner www.BulletBobber.com, www.DualFin.com and the NEW www.ProwlerPlaners.com
This video lacks any action...no fish caught on video but it shows you something that has NEVER been done before. Most folks understand my patented inventions are mini planer boards / bobbers that flip direction and color when given a little pop but this was a surprising finding. I first noticed it after casting out a Prowler Planer with a 1/4 oz. weight and a nice size chub and laying the rod down on top of a culvert that ran out into a pool. The current made it plane to one side and out of the current where it stopped planing and fell on its side (line pointing up). When the line went slack, it sagged down into the current and pulled on the Prowler making it do a 180 turn pointing and moving back into and across the flow. With the tension reestablished the other keel took hold and it planed to the other side of the current repeating this action over and over. I never touch the rod and it was continually cruising back and forth like a bird dog working a field. I only had to recast when I caught a fish or I opened the bail to fish further downstream.
In a fishing location like this you never need to reel in and recast but I did expect to have to reel at times to get back into the current to explore different areas of the pool. Once I found the fish it was really easy to stay on them, or I mean keep sweeping back and forth over the area.
Here are some of the fish I caught using the technique.

Pink says her husband, Carey Hart, is more in love with their daughter, Willow, than her.
The "Raise Your Glass" hit maker welcomed her first child with her motorcross pro hubby in 2011, and she is still gushing over her daughter's positive presence in her life.
And in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, she reveals that Hart is the much softer parent in the relationship, especially since she believes he has more of a fondness for their daughter than for his wife.
She explains, "He's a sucker. I'm the bad cop. I watched him just fall in love the day we brought her home. It's like watching the person you love fall in love for the first time (with someone else). I'm not jealous.
"Our love is complicated, but (Willow) brings us closer together. We're a good little team. We go all over the world and we're together every day. It's just so yummy. Everyone around us is fighting and it just brings us closer together because we get to laugh at them."
Pink and Hart have had a rocky romance ever since they began dating in 2001, but their on-and-off relationship finally came to a head when they decided to tie the knot in 2006.
She adds, "We've been married for eight years this year … we might have to break up again soon!"

Washington, D.C., June 30, 2010 – The Board of Trustees of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has selected the recipients of its 2010 honors, the highest awards the Society presents each year. The medals, the Community Service Award, and the Landscape Architecture Firm Award will be presented during the ASLA Annual Meeting and EXPO in Washington, D.C., September 10-13.
ASLA Medal: Edward L. Daugherty, FASLA
Edward L. Daugherty, FASLA, will receive the ASLA Medal, the Society's highest honor for a landscape architect. Daugherty's career spans over 50 years of excellence. After military service during World War II, he graduated from Harvard University's Graduate School of Design in 1951, earning a Fulbright scholarship the following year. After studying in the United Kingdom, he returned to his Southern roots by starting a practice in Atlanta where he mentored generations of landscape architects. His many works include the Georgia Governor's Mansion, Avon corporate headquarters and a collaboration with Thomas Church on the School for Continuing Education at the University of Georgia.
ASLA Design Medal: James van Sweden, FASLA
James van Sweden, FASLA, will receive the ASLA Design Medal. Along with Wolfgang Oehme, he founded Oehme, van Sweden & Associates in 1975 and helped launch the "New American Garden" style of more naturalistic, four-season landscapes that pay homage to the American meadow movement originally inspired by Jens Jensen. Examples of van Sweden's work include the World War II Memorial on the National Mall; North Point Park in Boston; the United States Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan; and the New American and Friendship Gardens at the U.S. National Arboretum, along with hundreds of residential designs. He is also a prolific author whose work has received honors from the Garden Writers Association of America and the American Horticultural Society.
Jot D. Carpenter Teaching Medal: John F. Collins, FASLA
John F. Collins, FASLA, will receive the Jot D. Carpenter Teaching Medal in recognition for sustained excellence in landscape architecture education. Throughout his career, Collins demonstrated an unwavering commitment to educating young professionals. He has served as a lecturer, professor and visiting studio critic at major landscape architecture schools, including the University of Pennsylvania, Penn State University, Harvard, Cornell, Drexel, University of Virginia, Louisiana State University and the School of Architecture and Planning in New Delhi, India, before ultimately retiring from Temple University in 2004. His dedication to teaching goes beyond college students, as he helped create community and teaching gardens for Philadelphia public school children and launched the PLANT program to teach prison inmates urban horticulture skills.
LaGasse Medal: William L. Flournoy Jr., FASLA
William L. Flournoy Jr., FASLA, will receive the LaGasse Medal for his contributions to the management and conservancy of natural resources and public landscapes. During his tenure at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Flournoy managed the nation's first state conservation tax credit program, ultimately resulting in the donation of more than 180,000 acres, valued in excess of $800 million, for conservation purposes. Among many other conservation projects, Flournoy's 1972 graduate project helped inspire Raleigh, N.C.'s award-winning greenway program, which some consider the first work of its kind and elevated the role landscape architects play in creating sustainable, healthy communities.
Olmsted Medal: The Honorable Ken Salazar
The Hon. Ken Salazar, U.S. Secretary of the Interior, will receive the Olmsted Medal. The medal recognizes individuals, organizations, agencies or programs outside the profession of landscape architecture for environmental leadership, vision and stewardship. Through his work as Colorado Attorney General, United States Senator and now with the Department of the Interior, Salazar repeatedly fought to protect America's public lands. From fending off water diversion projects in Colorado to helping protect salmon in the Pacific Northwest, he demonstrates the rare ability to balance and resolve complex environmental policy issues that protect the country's natural resources.
Landscape Architecture Firm Award: EDSA
EDSA will receive the Landscape Architecture Firm Award, the highest award ASLA may bestow on a firm in recognition of extended excellence in work that influences the profession. Founded by Edward D. Stone Jr., FASLA, in 1960, the firm has grown from its Fort Lauderdale, Fla., roots to creating projects in 90 countries around the globe. The diversity in projects is reflected in the diversity of its employees – representing 25 countries and more than 20 different languages. During EDSA's 50 years of existence, the firm has created some of the most influential works in the profession. Notable projects include the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, PepsiCo World Headquarters, Atlantis Resort and many others around the world.
Community Service Award: Achva Stein, FASLA
Achva Stein, FASLA, will receive the Community Service Award. Currently the director of the Landscape Architecture Program at the City College of New York, Stein regularly extends her work and that of her students into needy communities that cannot afford professional landscape architecture services. Throughout her career, Stein has created dozens of pro bono projects around the country – more than 20 in New York City alone. Her master plans, community gardens, streetscape designs and technical assistance help revitalize struggling communities and showcase the positive benefits of landscape architecture.

Ratings for Dr. Kate O'Hanlan
Around 1987-88 I consulted this doctor at Stanford University Hospital in Palo Alto for a routine gyn exam. I was about 26-27 years old. This dr. made lewd, insinuating, sexually insulting, inappropriate remarks about my body while I was on the examining table and already undressed. There was a nurse in the room at the time. After Dr. o' hanlon left the room the nurse apologized to me profusely for her behavior and told me it was very wrong for her to have said these things. I KNEW it was wrong - but at the time I didn't know where to report her. I never went back. I never forgot this disturbing incident and subsequently after 2 other gyns - both female-have also made lewd,sexually inappropriate remarks I no longer go to gynecologists.
Kate is a true find for anyone looking for a doctor that has it all - knowledge, skills, and compassion and understanding. I have had the opportunity to talk to many of her patients about upcoming procedures - and I start my comments out with say - "you are so lucky that you found Kate" - "she will take such good care of you - before, during and after your surgery" - and I mean every word.
Dr. Kate O'Halan is the best Doctor I have ever seen. I trust her with my life. Thank you, Maria Silveira.
Dr. O'Hanlan is the most skilled and compassionate surgeon that I have had. She performs state-of-the-art surgery to give her patients the best possible outcome. Dr. O'Hanlan regularly operates on out-of-town patients who travel long distances in order to have the best surgeon perform state-of-the-art hysterectomies and other gynecological surgeries. She is meticulous about removing every bit of Endometriosis or malignancy and getting the job done right. I traveled from out of town to see Dr. O'Hanlan for my surgery and it was easier than you would think. Dr. O'Hanlan is very intelligent and focused on providing each of her patients with an individualized surgical solution.
This amazing doctor has saved my life! Twice now! She's amazing. Totally knowledgeable, caring, compassionate and 100% partners with the patient. Love her!
Dr. Kate is the greatest. I am an FTM transman and she treated me with nothing but professionalism and sincerity. I came through my surgery with no complications and wish all surgeons were as skilled as her. Also the staff @ Sequoia Hospital were great too. My only complaint is her receptionist is as rude and abrasive as they get, but this was 5 years ago so she may have been replaced.
I still have nightmares about my time with this doctor. She told me it was about time for her to have a "blow out" when I was scheduling my hysterectomy. I should have run out the door. She almost sliced my bladder in half, tried to fix it with many, many staples which kept appearing from my vagaina afterward. I had to have another surgery after her work which was still unsuccessful in fixing the problem. I then had to spend two months in bed before the expert at UC San Francisco could repair my bladder. Some months later I had to have a bladder stone removed which had grown around staples in my bladder. Ask her if she can practice at Mills/Peninsula. The answer is "NO". I know of another surgery she messed up causing the patient to lose a kidney. Run, don't walk, away, away, away.
Dr. O'Hanlan is amazing. She is very kind, concerned with your pain levels, comfort levels emotionally as well. Very skilled and I cannot say enough about what she did for me. I was up the same night of surgery, and back to work in less than a week after MAJOR procedure. She is thorough, thoughtful, and is by far the best physician I have ever seen. Her receptionist, I agree is rude, ineffective, and unprofessional. Other than that, the entire experience was a gift from GOD. Thank you Dr. O'Hanlan!!!
Dr. Kate is a kind and brilliant surgeon and an invaluable advocate for the glbt community. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. My only gripe is that her receptionist, at least when I was there, was beyond rude and unhelpful (both in person and on the phone). Thankfully seeing Dr. Kate was worth putting up with the receptionist, but it was definitely an annoyance.
Kate is a fantastic doctor and physician. She is personable, knowledgeable, and skilled, straightforward and forthright. Can't say enough positives.

Is your tramp stamp talking to me or are you just getting a call?
Sometimes you can't help but stare at someone's tattoos. Maybe they're in a weird spot, feature someone famous, or well… they're just plain bad. (Or they combine two of those things.) Imagine the attention when your tattoo actually begins to vibrate.
Yes, according to Newser, that little feature could soon be on its way. Nokia is working on a way to link up your tattoo with your cell service. They've even taken the insane idea to the patent stage.
In other words, they've given up on creating a better phone. Instead, they want to create a better you — now with more phone.
The patent says something about "tattooing, stamping, or spraying 'ferromagnetic' material onto skin" or putting it on a fingernail. When the thing starts shaking, you either have a call, a message, a low battery, a calendar alert, or maybe you're just having an allergic reaction to embedding ferromagnetic material into your body.
Yeah, this sounds really safe. That said, a lot of things aren't safe. Cars, marshmallow Peeps, microwavable slippers; the list goes on. How about microwaves in general? Well, here's the thing: No one is asking me to cook something under my eyelids.
Then, of course, Newser throws a wrench into the whole idea by mentioning that they could actually use the marker against you — and not just in job interviews. It could be used to track who you are and what you're doing. That's right, people; it's not just for bad Michael Bay movies. Well, it is, but now it can be used for something else as well.
Also, who knows where it could go from here? If there were an option for scratching your hand to change TV channels or draw the shades, would you consider going under the tattoo needle? Anyone? Hello? Is this tattoo on?

Sydney Technical High School
Déjà vécu (Latin – 'already lived') is one of three types of paramnesia, more commonly known as déjà vu. It occurs when a patient feels as though they have already lived or repeated a situation they have just experienced. This theory intrigues me as I believe it shows that there is more to the human mind and psyche than we could ever begin to understand through scientific study. The film is designed as an installation view to be played on a continuous loop, outlining the ambiguous nature of the human mind's ability to recognise previously lived experiences.

News, notes and quotes from the Raiders season-ending 21-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at the Coliseum:
— Lots of support for Tom Cable in the postgame locker room.
Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha said he hasn't heard anything specific about Cable getting fired, but if he has any solid information, "I'm sure that myself and the other captains will speak out on Tom's behalf.
Said tight end Zach Miller: "I want to see him. I think he's been good all year. He's been. He's had to deal with some tough issues early on. But he's been the same every week, and really consistent, and I think that's good for the football team. And I'd love some continuity going into next season."
Wide receiver Chaz Schilens: "As far I'm concerned he's a good coach and deserves to be back here. That's how I feel.''
Not all the captains would necessarily be receptive, however.
"That's not my call,'' defensive end Richard Seymour said, although he added, " I like coach Cable. I really do. He stayed the course and even when it was tough, he always had the troops ready to play. That's all you can ask for.''
Quarterback JaMarcus Russell, asked if Cable should return, said, "He should, he should. That's not my decision. That's the big leagues upstairs.''
For his part, Cable plan on being back.
"I am, because I see, and you all see, too, where this team is going, and what we've been able to accomplish in proving some things,'' Cable said. "Where we are offensively since the Cincinnati game, I think, speaks volumes, but again, yeah, I'm pretty sure (I'll be back). As sure as I can be.''
Cable said he has not talked to Al Davis about that, however.
— Monte Poole looks at the problems with the Raiders roster issues in his column, and Gary Peterson examines the tenure of Cable as he appears to be headed out the door.
— But while it appears Cable will ultimately pay for the 5-11 season, the all-too-obvious answer regarding what ails the Raiders is in my Web exclusive column.
— The Cincinnati game, of course, is when Cable benched JaMarcus Russell. And there's no denying the passing offense got dramatically better once Russell went to the bench.
But it's also true Russell led the Raiders to their won over Denver and looked light years better Sunday in terms of being confident and decisive than he did through the first nine games.
But there were two turnovers, an interception to Dannell Ellerbe and a sack-fumble lost to Ellerbe.
Russell was 9-for-14 for 102 yards in the second half after Charlie Frye (who took a ferocious beating and left at halftime with a lower back strain and an ankle injury) was 18-for-25 for 180 yards and a touchdown in the first half.
Asked about the good things Russell did, Cable said, "Not really thinking about that right now, just thinking about our effort and the disappointment I have over not being able to score some points in the second half, because I really thought we would.''
Russell on his own play this season: "It was shaky, shaky. At times it was like we were on a roller coaster. Once you go up, you go down, you go up, go down, same thing.''
— The Raiders rather dramatically illustrated the inconsistencies in the three phases of their play in the secondd quarter on consecutive possessions.
First, after Shane Lechler pinned the Ravens back at the 5-yard line with a 45-yard punt, the Ravens went 95 yards on just two plays on what Cable calls "chunk'' plays.
Joe Flacco got the Ravens out of the shadow of their own end zone with an 18-yard pass to Todd Heap, then Willis McGahee bolted 77 yards for a touchdown, embarrassing Hiram Eugene with a stiff-arm in the process.
Trailing 14-3, the Raiders responded with one of their best drives of the season, with Frye completing 6 of 7 passes for 57 yards and a 12-yard scoring pass to a leaping Zach Miller to cut it to 14-10 with 47 seconds left in the half.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Ravens got a 53-yard return by Jamele Parmalee and the Raiders were fortunate not to give up any points when Billy Cundiff missed a 37-yard field goal attempt.
— Schilens talked up the job Cable did and was effusive in his praise about Frye.
"Charlie played great. He was getting drilled but he was getting the ball off and trusting his receivers,'' Schilens said. "He played great. I wish it could have been different. I wish he could have stayed healthy and stayed in there, but he's a good quarterback.''
When asked about the job Russell did in the second half, Schilens clammed up.
After a brief pause, Schilens said, "No comment.''
Schilens had a career high eight receptions for 99 yards and although he missed half the season with a broken metatarsal sustained in training camp, led all Raiders wide receivers with 29 catches for 365 yards.
Miller had seven catches for 37 yards, including the touchdown. The Pro Bowl alternate finished with career highs in receptions (66) and yards (805).
— Frye and Russell completed 27 of 38 passes for 282 yards, the most completions for the Raiders since the season opener against the Detroit Lions when Josh McCown was 30-for-40 for 313 yards and still booed heavily.
They completed 19 of 25 passes for 240 yards to wide receivers.
"I always thought we could do that, you know,'' Cable said. "It's just a matter of getting some things kind of cleaned up and letting a couple of young receivers grow up a little bit and not making it a one-man deal with Zach all the time.''
— The Ravens rushed for 240 yards on 35 carries, with Willis McGahee rushing for 167 yards on 16 carries and three touchdowns _ including a 77-yard scoring run which he stiff-armed Hiram Eugene.
"I don't know if that was a stiff-arm or a beat-down,'' Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
"It's like he got a good three-way go, really. And he kind of caught me on my heels, and gave me a little club,'' Eugene said. "Especially when it's a big play for them, and you know it's most likely going ot hit Sportscenter, and people are going to look at like, `He was in the middle' but he's a safety and he's got to make that tackle.''
The Raiders finished 29th in the NFL in rushing, surrendering 2,488 yards and tied the Rams for giving up the most rushing touchdowns with 24.
x-Place kicker Sebastian Janikowski converted field goal attempts of 37 and 39 yards without a miss to finish 26-for-29 on the season and extending his own club record with an even 1,000 career points.
"We've struggled a little bit this year so far but getting 1000 points, you know, it means a lot to me,'' Janikowski said. "Just breaking the record means a lot to me."
Janikowski had no comment about his impending free agency. He could be franchised or transitioned, with extra tags available if there is no collective bargaining agreement.
Most likely, Janikowski, like Shane Lechler before him, will get a huge raise.
— Lechler had punts of 54, 52, 45, 59 and 51 yards for a 52.4 average and finished the season at 51.1 yards per punt, behind the all-time record of 51.4 set by Sammy Baugh in 1940.
x-Tennessee running back Chris Johnson, the No. 24 selection in the 2008 draft, rushed for 134 yards on 36 carries and finished the season with 2,006 yards. Darren McFadden, the No. 4 pick in the same draft, had five carries for nine yards and finished with 357 yards on 104 carries.
The Raiders rushed for 51 yards on 20 carries, with Michael Bush (10 carries, 18 yards) and McFadden (5 carries, 9 yards) getting nowhere. The only run longer than five yards was a 13-yard reverse Louis Murphy.
— Cable is scheduled to meet with the media Monday at noon for a season-ending press conference, preceded by an open locker room session for players who haven't already cleared out.

Gift That Keeps On Giving: Dropkick Murphys Live in the Lab
The Dropkick Murphys played a holiday set at the hometown Boston Globe Digital Lab in early December. I'd prefer the full concert but that may be a minority view. Instead, it's a video playlist with individual songs, including the classic Irish Rover (embedded below).
This should have taken a couple of minutes to post. Instead, I learned a lot more about the limits of WordPress.com video and the vageries of the Brightcove player then I could have imagined. The solution I went with meant skipping the manual embed that would give me more control over the post, giving the player access to my WordPress account and publishing immediately, then going into the post to update. It's also a dead-end video sans playlist. Oh, well, the results still rock.

26th February 2018
With Fashion Week season drawing to a close, Kundai Musara from Grayling Southampton looks at the important social and economic role of the British luxury fashion industry both in the past and present.
London Fashion Week – a bi annual gathering of the country's sartorially gifted creatives, brings together hordes of models, celebrities, influencers who in turn bring additional wealth to the country's coffers.
The UK luxury fashion industry alone is responsible for a direct contribution of £26 billion to the British economy. The sector is estimated to support an astounding 880,000 jobs nationally and has been praised as an industry that continually provides minority groups with plenty of opportunity in contrast to other creative industries.
Although heavily associated with luxury, ostentation and a hefty price tag, the UK fashion industry can be said to be the platform for free expression and protest, a notion that dates back centuries and continues to position the industry and London Fashion Week as a pioneer for freedom of speech.
The City of London, historically, has always been rich in culture and at the centre stage of social change for minorities including people of colour, women and the LGBTQ+ community. However, the 60s are thought to be the defining era that paved the way for London Fashion Week and many generations armed both with fashion and a modern 'open minded view' of the world.
60s Britain, whereby the capital became to be known as 'Swinging London', brought with it many elements that became symbols of change. Garments like the Mary Quant mini skirt, psychedelically patterned shift dresses by Biba, the pixie cut and of course the emergence of the fashion model with it-girls the likes of Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy Lawson became known as the symbols of sexual revolution and liberation for women of all colour.
Miniskirts, winged eyeliner and shift dresses became some of the city's best exports, alongside the 'British Invasion' of popular bands including the Beatles and The Who eventually placing London as the fashion capital of the western world and bringing in an era of conspicuous spending – a result of the post war economic boom.
The 60s, which also saw the emergence of the teenager, was also well known for starting various movements with fashion being used as a weapon; with subcultures ranging from Mods, Skinheads, Hippies through to punks in the 70s protesting their thoughts through fashion and music. A major example being the anti-Vietnam war protests which saw thousands of youngsters of all subcultures come together to march from Trafalgar square to the American Embassy at Grosvenor Square to express anger and sadness of the innocent lives that were being lost.
Fast forward to today and the London fashion scene continues to be the centre of cool creatives of all genders, colour and sexual orientation. Still contributing a remarkable amount of money to the economy, the industry also attracts young creatives the world over with ambitious students applying for places at universities with creative offerings. Southampton Solent University and Winchester School of Art lead the way around Southampton, with world renowned institutions in the capital, such as UAL's Central Saint Martins and the London School of Fashion.
Whilst the industry is still heavily stigmatised as being elitist, expensive and unattainable, the UK's fashion industry and London Fashion Week continues to be a voice for the minority. Designers like Vivienne Westwood, the Godmother of punk, has been endlessly campaigning for a greener planet and Christopher Bailey who recently staged his last show at London Fashion Week has introduced the 'rainbow check' to Burberry's palette as an ode to the LGBTQ+ community that is still fighting for equality all over the world today.
