I used to think kitesurfing was expensive, then we didnt have wind for a few months so I started mountain biking. Mountain biking is in a completely different category of expensive compared to kitesurfing. When you ride a mtb hard you constantly need service and break parts. I can do my own service now - but I had to buy a ton of tools. A friend of mine uses the bike shop and spends roughly 250/month in service. There are also a ton of things to upgrade on a bike. Kiting is so simple and there is hardly anything you can do to upgrade. My bike cost about 4K, then about 1K in upgrades and $500 in tools. Riding about 3-4 days/week, my operating cost will probably be about $50 a month which represents wear on the drive train, tires (which run about $70 each) and suspension servicing. You also need a backup bike so you dont miss any days in case you break something that takes a few weeks to get parts for. My backup bike cost about 1K. If you break a wheel that will cost about $500, if you break a chain that will be about $100. A rear derailleur will run you about $150.
Mountain biking is way more dangerous than kitesurfing. In our area, people have to get airlifted out of the trails a few times a year. I broke a few ribs (not actually a big deal) already in just a few months of riding. The other day I slammed my head into the ground and thought I might have a concussion. There are many more bolts and other parts that you need to make sure are tightened properly because if they come apart while riding you can get thrown, get speared in the chest by the handlebars etc. All the riders I know have broken at least one bone mountain biking. Everyone is routinely covered in scabs. MTB is similar to kitesurfing in that if you arent crashing you arent pushing yourself hard enough. The crashes just hurt a lot more. I try to be careful because I am mainly mountain biking to stay in shape for kiting.
Today was the first day Ive kited in a few months and it was great and I felt a lot safer than mountain biking technical trails.

After being the darlings of the Sochi Olympics, we wondered whether NBC would find a way to keep Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir in our lives until the next Winter Olympics in 2018. Four years is a long time to reconvene and with figure skating events happening only periodically on television, fans of Tara & Johnny's wit, wisdom, and wardrobe were left worried that they may not see the duo again for quite some time.
Alas, it has been revealed that Weir & Lipinski will be fashion analysts for Access Hollywood in the most ingenious bit of crossover television since the Flintstones met the Jetsons. This will allow Weir and Lipinski to stay in the public eye until the debut of their Bravo reality show which has to be right around the corner. (If Ryan Lochte can get one, then anything should be possible.)
While his figure skating analysis was a breath of fresh air, the real winner of NBC's coverage of the Sochi Olympics was Johnny Weir's fashion statements. In just two weeks time, he became the most notable fashionista in sports broadcasting, surpassing Don Cherry and Craig Sager. Thankfully for those of us who can use a bit more style in our lives (for bloggers that means something other than sweatpants), Weir cataloged all of his outfits on his Instagram page for all time.
Here now is the complete Johnny Weir Collection from Sochi…

Welcome to Hand Talk, a collection of and about American Indian Sign Language, especially Plains Indian Sign Language (PISL). The purpose of this site is to make information about this endangered language available in one place in high quality, and in some cases for the first time. For more about this site, please visit the about page.
All varieties of American Indian Sign Language are currently endangered, but prior to the cultural disruption caused by European colonization, it was commonly used across a large swath of North America from the Gulf of Mexico to Calgary, Canada, an area of over 1 million square miles. It spread so far because it was used as a lingua franca between Native American nations speaking at least 40 different languages, but it was also used within native communities as an alternative to their spoken languages and as a primary language for deaf people. The current number of signers is unknown, but it is clear that there are still a number of users across North America, both hearing and deaf.
Please visit the documents section of the site to read more about the history and linguistics of American Indian Sign Language, or the images and video sections to see samples of signing. The original source of these materials is the National Anthropological Archives & National Human Studies Film Archives at the Smithsonian Institution.

The centerfold effect comes from using non-retrofocus lenses which sit very close to the sensor, and as such, mostly effects architectural or landscape photographers.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=79471\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Can anyone advise whether the centrefold or alternatively the lens cast issue are problems with the Aptus 22 or the P25 backs i.e. those backs with the large sensor sites?Steve[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=79513\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
also do these issues affect aptus 17 backs.It would be interesting to know..not because that would turn me away from leaf..phasse have their own isues also..but just to be prepared.Marc[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=79516\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
The A17 and A22, using larger pixels and a slightly different sensor design, do not appear to have any centerfold issues and will very rarely show any colour casts with wide-angle, non-retrofocus lenses.Yair[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=79518\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
"this is not true. the centerfold effect is a consequence of sensor design/readout, it is certainly much more visible with wide angle non-retrofocus lenses. i shall be very happy to receive an aptus 75 without the centerfold effect on alpa/shneider digitar 24mm but i doubt that this will happen without a serious sensor redesign by dalsa (so my chip cowboys tell me).peter"I don't get the point of disagreeing with me Peter. "it is certainly much more visible with wide angle non-retrofocus lenses". Are you implying that there are people with Retrofocus lenses having this issue? Can you point me to the threads? As I understand it, this is strictly limited to the non-retrofocus lenses.As for your second point... I hope it is not true that the redesign will have to occur. But this is no different than it is with Phase One files. The rainbow colors of a Phase One image on my Alpa are no more usable uncorrected than the Leaf images with a centerfold line.-Eric[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=79505\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
i always used the normal (tiny ) handgrip and mechanical shutters. not tooooooooo comfortable but perfectly doable. i hear from alpa/phase that they are developing a new wake up cable though.peter[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=79441\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
thanks for the info (and for staying on topic).any more info on that cable?? I appreciate that the TC21 is designed really as a wide angle camera, but am surprised they dont make a 'normal' finder available for when you are using a 60-90mm lens, or thereabouts. It's a sweet small package otherwise, and I covet it for that.As an aside I have to say there is a lot of nonsense written about Phase and LCC issues, it really is only in some extreme lens-camera cases that you see this, apparently. I say 'apparently' as I've not seen it once in 8 months of P45 ownership. (I dont do ultrawide architecture photos, but just about everything else, macro to portrait to landscape). It seems there is some rather petty minded Phase-bashing going on by Leaf owners here, that is not worthy of a pro forum discussion. The P45 is a great product, a mature and stable workhorse delivering excellent results, and about to get even better with the + version. Mine is on order already.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=79542\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I was told this is normal performance for the Phase One backs regarding LCC with the super wide lenses.... the 2nd one is corrected (obviously)[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=79580\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

FLASHBACK; The New World Order, Bush, Gorbachev, Shultz and Solidarity
We certainly didn't get in the global mess we are in overnight. It wasn't just Obama, or George Jr., George Sr. or Bill Clinton that got this ball rolling either. No, they have all played and are playing their "collective" roles, but the grand conspiracy goes back, suffice it to say, as far as you are willing to trace it.
This excellent 1999 article from Berit Kjos is simply superb and certainly sheds light on the nature of Russian Communism within the move to Global Government. This is not only a must read, but classic. Well researched and documented resources like these are meant to be re-read often and shared widely. -W.E.
George W. Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev, George Shultz and your children -- how are they linked? Why does it matter?
And who is George Shultz? How did he help rewrite history, redefine morality, and prepare America to accept the new socialist values that are paving the way to the new world order?
If you are as concerned as I am about America's shift from traditional values and factual education to global values and psycho-social strategies for "lifelong learning," you would want to know the answers. You might also wonder why Texas Governor George W. Bush would choose George Shultz, who negotiated the 1985 U.S.-USSR Education Exchange Agreement, as advisor on his presidential exploratory committee. Or why Robert Dole chose Shultz as an advisor during his quest for the presidency in 1996.
These alliances reflect the new perspective that motivates our globalist leaders to set aside the old rules of involvement and chart a new course for the world. From their point of view, the old-fashioned national sovereignty (or independence) is out, and global solidarity (or interdependence) is in. Now it's up to the media and our educational "change agents" to persuade the masses to accept their view of the earth as a global village.The old rules don't fit in the new world order. "Nations that stick to stale old notions and ideologies will falter and fail," said former President Bush in 1991, when introducing the Republican version of our international education system.[2] Al Gore would surely agree. At a 1991Communitarian conference in Washington, he said, "Seeing ourselves as separate is the central problem in our political thinking." [3]Gore's conclusion was quoted in the book, Spiritual Politics, co-authored by Corinne McLaughlin, the first task force coordinator for the President's Council on Sustainable Development. McLaughlin, who likes to quote Djwhal Khul, spirit guide to theosophist Alice Bailey, also taught her mediation strategies at the Department of Education, Pentagon, and the EPA. [4]"There really is only one sin--separateness," she states in her book. "...war is more likely to spring from rampant nationalism, ethnocentrism, and intolerant religious fundamentalism -- all extreme and separative attitudes.... [A} primary cause of the earth's suffering is that humanity is caught in the illusion of separation.... What is needed as a cure for separateness is a deep sense of community -- that we're all in this together."[5]
Mikhail Gorbachev shares that contempt for nationalism and religious fundamentalism, i.e. biblical Christianity. The goal of this unrepentant Communist continues to be a socialist world government with power to manage and monitor every human resource according to the will of an elite "Council of the Wise."
Back in 1995, George Shultz served as Chairman of the Board of Advisors of the Gorbachev Foundation, which had been "created to assist in the process of building global consensus for our common future." The same year, he co-chaired Gorbachev's first annual State of the World Forum in San Francisco together with Ted Turner, Maurice Strong,[6] and other international leaders "chosen for their internationally recognized contributions to designing our emerging global civilization." Among the speakers was author Sam Keen, who announced that --"The ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90% and there aren't enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage."[7]Attending the Forum as a member of the press, I heard the thundering applause that followed Keen's statement. Whether Shultz agreed with audience or not, this popular suggestion shows the Forum's general attitude toward human lives. Despite the noble rhetoric about saving the oppressed, the overriding sentiment indicated that people count only if they conform to the new ideology and serve the world community.Therefore the masses must be trained, managed, and monitored -- and the loss of lives due to politically expedient conflicts matters little.
SOVIET INDOCTRINATION IN AMERICAThe major players in this transforming process are the media, the international education system, and a global surveillance system. All are nearly in place [8]-- thanks to Shultz, Clinton and others who share their vision for managed conformity and strive to fulfill it.
Shultz's friendship with Gorbachev dates back to his years as Secretary of State in the Reagan administration [9] -- a time when many of us simply trusted the Republican cabinet to represent American families. In the early eighties, few of us realized that Shultz and David Hamburg, President of the globalist Carnegie Corporation, were using their authority to negotiate a binding international agreement with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze.[10] Its terms required that we trade our sophisticated education and data tracking technology for the brainwashing strategies used to indoctrinate Soviet children, modify behavior, and monitor the masses to ensure compliance with Soviet ideology. [11]To see what George Shultz did to undermine our American education system, rewrite history, change values, and prepare America to accept a new role in the "international community," ponder the following quotes from The Keys of This Blood by Malachi Martin:"Within scant months of Gorbachev's election in March of 1985 to the post of General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, he and President Reagan met at their first summit in Geneva. . . November 19-20,1985.... [They signed] the General Agreement on Contacts, Exchanges and Scientific Technical Education and Other Fields... It authorized mutual exchange programs, the homogenization of curricula, the sharing of facilities and the mutual indoctrination of the two peoples involved. . . ."Cooperation would cover all computer-based instruction, instructional hardware and curriculum design for all grades of primary and secondary education, as well as college and university studies. The obvious goal was a total homogenization not only of the methods of teaching and learning, but what was to be taught. . . ."Cooperation, for instance, in the 'social sciences' turned a blind eye to the official prostitution of psychiatry and psychology by the Soviet Union as clinical tools for inflicting mental and physical torture as political punishment and for disposing of dissidents. The USSR had been banned from the World Psychiatric Association in 1983 for such practices. ..."Or take cooperation in the humanities. As taught in the Soviet Union, all humanities are marinated in Leninist Marxism as a matter of course. And history is distorted by a thoroughgoing Marxisation of ideas, by the systematic suppression of facts, and by downright lies. One might wonder what common curricula might be drawn up between the USSR and the US. . . . "". . .the aim of the General Agreement -- at least from the point of view of the Wise Men of the West -- was 'to transform the shape of the world'. . . because 'sooner or later we are going to have to face restructuring our institutions so that they are not confined merely to the nation-states. . . . '""That agreement came from already established drawing boards. . . . For both parties intend to create nothing less than a new arrangement in all human affairs -- 'a new world order,' to use a consecrated phrase both Gorbachev and the Wise Men employ. . . ."Those early policies also reflected that blithe and trusting acceptance by the Wise Men of basic Leninist thinking. . . as they took the field with the leader who had been judged. . . most likely to succeed in fulfilling Lenin's ultimate dream of Soviet messianism. . . ."[12]That messianic leader was Gorbachev. His blueprint for revolution came, not from Lenin, but from Antonio Gramsci. This Italian Communist had aroused Stalins's wrath by suggesting that Lenin's revolutionary plan wouldn't work: the "oppressed" proletariat in Christian nations could not be incited to violence against the bourgoise. After all, in America the two groups prayed together. So Gramsci wrote a new blueprint for world revolution. Before long, his plan for Communist infiltration of the media, university, church, and government was changing the leadership, beliefs, values, and attitudes of our nation. The primary assault was on biblical absolutes and Christianity, which must be crushed as a social force before the new face of Communism could rise and flourish. Malachi Martin gave us a progress report:"By 1985, the influence of traditional Christian philosophy in the West was weak and negligible. . . . Gramsci's master strategy was now feasible. Humanly speaking, it was no longer too tall an order to strip large majorities of men and women in the West of those last vestiges that remained to them of Christianity's transcendent God." [13]Whether we agree with Martin's conclusion or not, the process he describes matches history. George Shultz had helped pave the way. The merger of US and USSR education strategies laid the foundations for the new program for training human resources and monitoring compliance. To bring everyone into the web, they linked political correctness to success through the national-international workforce development program signed into law by Clinton in 1998. When fully implemented, only those who demonstrate conformity to the new standards for attitudes, values and group thinking would be rewarded with work and college.[14]
Apparently, Governor George W. Bush, the frontrunner among Republican presidential candidates, approves of this system. His education record in Texas shows his support. [15] No wonder, since his father adopted the six goals of UNESCO's world education system and made them the center piece of America 2000, the Republican version of Clinton's Goals 2000. You read part of this 1991 announcement earlier, but it's worth repeating. If the media had warned us, we might have awakened to the current revolution:
"Nations that stick to stale old notions and ideologies will falter and fail. So I'm here today to say, America will move forward.... New schools for a new world.... Re-invent--literally start from scratch and reinvent the America school.... Our challenge amounts to nothing less than a revolution in American education." [16]President Bush was referring to a paradigm shift in education that would produce a corresponding shift in our culture. In this context, a paradigm is a cultural model or mental framework that determines how people understand and perceive reality. A paradigm shift means cultural transformation: a totally new way of thinking and seeing. In the new paradigm, the old absolutes based on the Bible and the Constitution must be reinterpreted or discarded. So when Bush spoke of "old notions and ideologies" and a "revolution in American education", he had already prepared his plan for changing the minds of America. The management system had been designed by UNESCO, and the psycho-social strategies for altering our children's beliefs and values had been promoted by UNESCO but imported from the Soviet Union.
In other words, everything that had made American education the envy of the world was now obsolete.
In the ashes of the old ways would arise the UN plan for global education, tested in the Soviet Union, and designed to mold compliant servers for the 21st Century "sustainable communities." [17]
THE PARADIGM SHIFT: Total Transformation
OLD PARADIGM NEW PARADIGM Beliefs Based on Bible Blend of earth-centered religions Culture Western individualism Global solidarity Values Based on Bible Based on human idealism Morals Moral boundaries Sensual freedom Rights Personal freedom Social controls Economy Free enterprise Socialist collective Government By the people By those who control the masse
The masses would be controlled through the Hegelian dialectic (consensus) process [18] by globalist leaders who would view the world through the new filter of globalism. Polls, propaganda, simple slogans, and continual conflicts would be essential to its success. In fact, the greater the perceived crisis, the faster the leader can assume the coveted political powers that true freedom forbids. President Clinton has already mastered these totalitarian strategies, as Gorbachev suggested in a 1993 editorial:"Bill Clinton will be a great president if he can make America the creator of a new world order based on consensus."[19]
Shultz's ties to Gorbachev link him to a network of leaders determined to unite the world under a socialist banner.[20] To them, national sovereignty, the U.S. Constitution, Biblical absolutes, and parental rights are offensive obstacles [21] that hinder progress. They use the word "democracy" as if it means freedom, but their policies point to a world where, as in Communist countries, only the compliant are free to express their opinions.[22] In this context, expedient lies are more valid than truth, and a human life has no value apart from its place in a political agenda. [See Molding Human Resources for the Global Workforce]
Long ago, the people who followed Jesus misunderstood His message and sought to crown Him king. But Jesus didn't come to free His people from their Roman rulers. He came to save us from bondage to sin, fill us with His life, and enable us to see reality from His perspective.From His high vantage point, the world's threats and conflicts look far less formidable. Yes, we are moving toward world governance. Yes, hostility toward God, His Word and His uncompromising people is rising fast. But when we trust and seek His guidance, He will surely guide each one of us through the battles ahead. When we follow Him, He will enable us to walk in His triumph. (2 Cor. 2:14)
The author of Psalm 2 saw the earthly conflict from God's perspective. His words are as relevant now as ever:
"Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing?
...the rulers take counsel together against the LORD and His Anointed, saying,
'Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.'
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The LORD shall hold them in derision.
Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
'Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.' . . .
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him."Endnotes:2. See Zero Tolerance for Non-Compliance at http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/zerotol.html3.

SAPTG now provides the public with the once-off reports, providing all the information you need to determine the value of a property.
The following reports are available:
With Valuation:
Includes; Property Info, Transfer History, Buyers & Sellers Info, Bond Info, Last 10 sales in the street, Last 20 sales within a 1km radius, Points of interest and an Accurate Computerized Property Valuation with estimated high and low values.
WITHOUT Valuation:
Same as above, but without a Computerized Property Valuation
When we receive data from the Deeds office it only contains the suburb extention (Deeds suburb) and not the City/Town information. We then group and map the extentions to a city/town inside the SAPTG Suburb layer (Suburb).
Deeds Data for Western Cape, Cape Town has only one suburb for the whole of Cape Town and that is Cape Town which makes it difficult to find property in Cape Town if one would want to search on the Deeds Suburb field.
In most of the other provinces we do do not encouter the same problem.
When searching according to Deeds Suburb, the City is ignored. The City do play a role when searching on the standard SAPTG Suburb

You can't measure a company's value until you first build it
Valuing a company is the easy part; creating that value in the first place so that you can measure it is a more formidable task. Creating a value equation can build worth into an underperforming company.
Buyers and sellers look at the component makeup of a company differently, and therefore, place different values on these ingredients and on the whole. To enhance real company value, analyze components as they relate to worth in the mind of potential buyers. Value to one buyer does not necessarily hold the same value for another. Establish multiple buyer profiles depending upon the circumstances and prepare to build value each would be willing to pay for.
Buyers of distressed companies look for core value upon which they can base a turnaround. They want to install management, implement new strategies, rid the company of excess and legacy costs and build revenue. This purchase is strategic, yet opportunistic in nature. They want to rebuild, then sell at increased value.
Free cash flow and the continued ability to produce it with reliable probability creates the greatest value. This is not as easy as it sounds. In fact, it can be complicated, is often misunderstood and frequently is bungled.
Going concern value, or GCV, is where the fun begins in all transactions. The going concern value and goodwill, or soft assets, will always draw the most controversy and discussion in terms of their valuation.
So build enterprises that buyers want to invest in. Future buyers look for:
- Businesses that create value. Consistency is the key. You must demonstrate growth in revenue, profit and cash flow.
- High probability of future cash flows.
- A marketing-oriented, motivated management team and human capital.
- The ability to sell, compete, distribute, produce and develop products and thrive.
The directors' and management's role must be to build going concern value. The GCV can be best maximized with stable leadership, setting and following sound strategies to consistently bring products and services to market, all the while nurturing resources and implementing processes to manage the company.
Create reasons for buyers to want to buy. Buyers want fair entry valuation so they can expect realistic return potential. There must be exit options to realize high ROI at the time they resell. Once that underperforming entity has been turned and is operating profitably, buyers will resume their interest in the company.
The better the company is at creating stakeholder value and shareholder return, the more interest there will be in buying some or all of the stock. While investors often buy on hope and promise, the dot-com market sector collapse demonstrates a need to ultimately produce returns to substantiate investment. Had many of the dot-com managers built GCV to support their promising technologies, they might still be around today.
Those that did have strong balance sheets weathered the storm, and found opportunities to gobble up assets from those who didn't. Just like in "Field of Dreams," if you build it, they will buy it.

Below is a list of friendly family planning providers who are informed about pregnancy planning for people living with HIV. If you are interested in adding your name, organization, or clinic to this resource list, please email us at email@example.com.

ADDISON COUNTY — Warm weather earlier this month sparked blue-green algae blooms in Lake Champlain's waters, prompting the Vermont Department of Health to caution boaters, swimmers, pet-owners and other residents to avoid contact with the contaminated water.
The water may not be clear, but this much is: Pollution in the form of phosphorus entering the lake poses a serious threat to Lake Champlain's waters.
Editor's note: With frustration brewing about the amount being spent on Lake Champlain clean-up efforts — and the apparent lack of results in better water quality — the Addison Independent set out to understand the complicated discussion about water quality in Vermont, with a focus on the agricultural industry often pinpointed as a main culprit in lake pollution.
Dan Freeman began hand-making custom leather shoes in the 1970s, and opened his Middlebury shop about ten years later. To learn the trade, he tracked down an old leather-worker in New Orleans, and spent days on Grey Hound buses traveling to Louisiana. After some persistence from Freeman, the New Orleans man agreed to teach Freeman his trade. Freeman estimates that there are around ten people left in the country that make the his type of custom boots and shoes.
MIDDLEBURY — "Just speak up if we can help you," Dan Freeman called to the customers who'd ambled into the Middlebury shoemaker's shop.
Just as quickly as he'd looked up, he was back to work. Behind his worktable, Freeman's hands were in constant motion — stretching the leather in one shoe, and boxing up another pair to ship off to a customer. He pulled lasts, the foot-shaped models used for designing shoes, from the crowded shelves around his workbench.
LINCOLN — Weighing looming repairs and the costs associated with them, the Lincoln Community School board will sketch out three options for the ailing school building at a hearing Tuesday night.

A few months ago I was covering an event at the Bristol Elementary School with photographer Trent Campbell — the sort of story I sometimes offer up self-deprecatingly to friends when I talk about my job. This, I'll joke, is the bread and butter of community journalists: elementary school assemblies and small town police logs. In Bristol, a handful of students spent all year growing out their hair for Locks of Love, and Trent and I were on hand at the end-of-year assembly to document the big cut: snip!

Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2013
CommentsClose comment
73 comments
At last a collection that's arresting and exciting, as well as being a re-interpretation of good old classics.
Elisa – Wandering Minds fashion
I'm sorry, I could not disagree more! I found the fabrics gaudy and to the point of nauseating. On which planet does a woman wear such tacky clothing? I feel Raf has tried too much to "Be himself" and to bring minimalism to Dior (not a minimalist house) and hasn't even managed to do what he does best. I cannot beleive I am voicing this but I think even Bill Gayten did a better job of incorporating the codes of the house and bring foward an interpretable inspiration, what do these clothes mean? Mario Testino looks absolutely disgusted and I share the feeling – This.Collection.Is.A.Disaster!
Dior; Please bring back Galliano!
Maybe he's awestruck?
I have to say, some of these pieces were not great – first look.
Although the third look and the flowing pink shirt was beautiful.
Everything about them was perfection, especially that pink handbag!
What can I say, I miss Galliano …
follow my http://www.huliganjetta.com
Me too!!!!!!
I was about to say the same about Mario's expression. What a picture, lol! I didn't like this collection either, but we shall see what he does next season. His first couture collection was nice though. Meanwhile, I wish bill gayten stayed at least for a bit longer.
I agree it's awful and gaudy!
Totally agree!!!!!!!
I rarely feel the need to comment on something I don't like on this website – usually its just ecstasy over the beauty of the clothes and/or the photography – but I have to agree here, Wayde completely expresses everything I hate about this truly disappointing collection. Galliano must be laughing. I was actually excited about the new possibilities of Raf at Dior and where he could take the brand, but this collection is going nowhere fast.
Say's the blogger who isn't creative director of dior, just a random fashion snoot. Raf Simons will do a fantastic job at dior by eliminating all the extravagant style which Galliano created and introducing a new minimal approach of genius design.
the collection is modern and unexpected and i know raf will find his footing at dior! just watch! :)
this collection was genius!
Raf is giving us a new sort of timelessness! These are the collections that will inspire future generations as we continue to look back at Mr. Christian Dior's own.
I really loved the colours at this show but wasn't really feeling the materials. In seeing your photos my opinion hasn't really changed, although I do like the last two dresses.
There is something very fantastical about this collection…like they sought to make dresses that young girls would see in Sleeping Beauty and want to wear for Halloween. As always, Dior's shoes are what really get me.
Love the pattern and volume of the last two skirts. So beautiful!
Those are fabulous pictures !!! They are so detailed and you can see the fabric and work so much better than on any other runway shots. The collection really comes to life. (long skirts are my favorite !)
This collection took my break away. The metallic and neon accents, in particular, were unexpected and so chic!! I can't wait to see these pieces in person. Bravo Raf!!
this collection is absolutely gorgeous!
I hate to say it is another disappointing collection this year.
The color combination is very unpleasant.
There is no WOW factor in this collection.
Overall it's OK but not more than that.
There is no signature in it.
It is not recognizable as Dior collection.
The house lost a lot when they got rid of Galliano.
May be their sales went up but the shows are not as exiting as they used to be.
Considering that Simons made extensive use of Dior silhouettes and iconic pieces, you're pretty far off when you claim the collection has no connection with Dior.
Time to move on from Galliano and his over-the-top showmanship. That was a different era.
It is still pretty ugly though!
The first one and the long skirts are breathtaking. I love that Raf changes Dior and gives it the sophisticated appearance. I am sure the next FW circus will be full of his clothes. Madrid Street Style http://madrilicious.com
such a wonderful collection!
The full-length skirts are fantastic & so Dior. Love it.
Such an incredible show!
I really love the fluidity of some of the dresses and the make up!
Love the dress in the third picture!
This collection is only bearable because the textiles are very interesting. I find the shapes stiff and flat, giving no sense of a woman at all. If the intention of the designer were to merely draw attention to the fabric well…that was accomplished. Compare this to the Marni collection, which took impossibly bold fabrics and prints and created, shape, silhouettes, movement and FIT that were sensational.
Agree….not feeling it too.
Take a look at some of the videos of this Dior collection. You might change your mind.
This collection means evollution, i was bored with literal reinterpretations of the past, this work has really caught my attention. The LAYER ERA.
I like the simplicity and elegance of the ballet top and full print skirts.
The shoes are beauiful.
What an amazing show!
Love that shine through-dress
and that dress on the last picture is
my first reaction when i viewed this collection was…in the middle of the show..the photo posted…is he on crack..i second reaction is was he on crack
first photo is that Mario Testino look at his expression…..
as it has already been said there is NO WOW..it's like a pretty girl, she's pretty but she doesn't make you spill your coffee
..and..we should create a new world.skinny is not enough for those models
Raf is the best
LOVE the short dresses – the miles of legs – how FAB! BUT, that last dress – the pattern on the skirt is too GORG for words!
-Daisy Nguyen from PS BANANAS fashion blog:
May I be frank? I would not be seen dead in any of these clothes. I could say that about a few of the 2013 spring collection. Desperate for ideas was how much of it looked to me. And unwearable.
But not Dries van Noten!
In the first pic – I much prefer how the belt is worn here … than over her puffy jacket! (In a recent previous pic.)
Great look. Striking, bold, gutsy.
awesome collection :)
Great photos; you've captured the tones and iridescence of these clothes.
But (and this is in no way a knock on still photos), these dresses seem to really rock when seen in motion. Their sensuality comes out.
the m.o. of this fashion month has seemed to be wearability so it's nice to see a collection that's a total departure in the direction of truly high fashion!
ĐĆĐÇđ║đŞđÁ đ║ĐÇđ░ĐüđŞđ▓ĐőđÁ Đćđ▓đÁĐéđ░! đŞ Đäđ░ĐüđżđŻĐő đÁĐüĐéĐî đŻđŞĐçĐĹ)
The last 2 looks are really beautiful & classically Dior. The others… well, I'm with Mr. Testino on those.
It's a modern take on Dior. not the most Dior collection I've seen but definitely not bad for Raf. People need to move on the ostentatious and ott Galliano era. We need to accept change. That's fashion. and that's life.
The second dress is amazing. I love that design.
I like this collection!!!! the colors are so beautiful and I like the fabrics are different!!
For me this really feels as a modern interpretation as Dior
Something good, something not so good… Makeup was terrific! ( http://www.blogandthecities.wordpress.com )
Wonderful selection, great images! Love the shiny 'fireball' skirt!
Amazing collection!!
a kaleidoscope of colors and elegance
Raf is being himself, but yet very respectful of the Dior identity. I am happy that they picked him.
Oh! I'm just loving the prints and dresses!
Fantastic collection!
Love the fabrics!! Especially the first two dresses are amazing!
nice pictures the orange and blue skirts are great to watch
I really loved the Dior show, I think the direction that the brand is heading is a good one.
Bravo Mr. Raf Simons!
I'm a very big fan of Galliano's work, I think he is the best in creating atmospheres, in sculpting clothes on bodies, but I have to admit that sometimes he becomes too much theatrical, not very contemporary. Simons is the opposite instead. When I saw the collection I imagined all the looks on the streets, on common women. It's not easy balancing the heavy past of the maison with personal sight of the stylist. About this collection, I think that Simons didn't it at his best, but I appreciated the jacket- dresses and I'm felt in love with the last four looks: very Dior but also very contemporary. Maybe this is the right direction!
Women of the world that have children and are beyond the fantasy age, which by the way I played into too, are not going to spend this kind of money to look like this… Just is no longer viable to show things that are not just beautiful, but must also, be wearable….
Most people can't afford most of this clothes that we all salivate. Simple clothes that fit well and doesn't make us feel like a clown on the streets is what usually sells. But anyone who loves to dress up or at least aspires to, wouldn't be inspired in this clothes. I feel, if you're going to do it "UP" then do it. Fashion isn't fashion if people aren't inspired. Then it's just clothes. Why bother? Give me a reason to buy, during this hard times, a ridiculously expensive item.
I do not like this collection because it is boring and I do not like the fabric of the clothes. lines are not new and recall the fashions of the past.
I didn't like this collection when I saw it on style.com, but seeing more of the details and fabric textures in these beautiful photographs, I don't mind it any more… it seems there's something more to it, and something new for the future that we are unable to digest and understand yet
This is the first fashion show that i found completely great
This was a great follow up to Rafs spectacular couture show, the ideas were similar but had been further built on, he is firmly establishing his look for Dior.
Pour une maison comme Dior, une grande d├ęception.
Je ne m'y fais pas !
I think the first 'dress' has to be one of the most hideous things I've ever seen.
You can see Mario thinking, "Please don't ask me to photograph that. Ever."
Brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
I am in love with this collection.
I see the vision, and I am moved by its radiance.
Observing the photographs from last to first was revealing.
The blue looks as if a current has been put through water, and the orange as if the dress is both alive and on fire. en feu, indeed. The dark black of the sea and the dark black of the charcoal make both accompanying tops suitable and more so, thematically appropriate complements to the skirts.
As I move upward from the bottom, I see vibrant interpretation of rays of light and gusts of sunset wind; the light and airy blue skirt are a perfect compliment to a more subdued yet perfectly tailored suit jacket, crackling electricity, a summer's day with wildflowers, the light frothing of a wave represented in the light blue and whimsical cut of the dress, and all of it culminating in the first dress, a mixture of the elements, fire, earth, energy. Poetry in motion, quite literally.
You may say that my interpretation is too lenient or giving or pretentious, but what is there on Earth to be "pretentious" about if not fashion? To look into something and glean as much out of it as possible is one way to have really seen it for what it is. And much thanks to Dior for creating something that is not completely understood at first glance.
And perhaps the fabrics do not look the most typical or wearable: Brava! This is the job of a real visionary (to dip into literary speak, "Make it new!" says Ezra Pound. I find it applies here). Perhaps these may be the neglected materials that no one cares to create with. They are atypical and awkward. Congrats to Raf for pushing himself–for making a statement where others look and only see something awkward or ugly or "hideous" and "utterly unwearable."
Two seasons from now, girls will be standing outside of shows with heels and bare legs and these pieces, moving and reflecting in the light like faeries, and it will be captured by Monseiur Sart, and we will all look at them and say, "My God, what a revelation!" forgetting that we once disparaged them almost without thinking.

Apple CEO Tim Cook will be seated in Michelle Obama's "First Lady Box" at the Presidential State of the Union address tonight, Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac reports.
Anyone who sits in the "First Lady's Box" usually gets mentioned during the president's speech, so it's likely that President Barack Obama will at least reference Apple.
"We speculate that this mention may have to do with Tim Cook's announcement that Apple will begin bringing Mac production back to the U.S. with a single, existing Mac line this year," Gurman writes.
This is almost certainly why Cook had to move his keynote at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet conference in San Francisco, originally planned for Tuesday afternoon, to 7:15 a.m. California time.

West Gadsden High School has forfeited their games scheduled against Blountstown Friday night. As previously reported by The County Record, several incidents occurred the last time the two teams faced each other on the court, resulting in the Blountstown teams being loaded on a bus and leaving the West Gadsden campus out of fear for student safety. West Gadsden was scheduled to play at BHS. The following is a letter from a West Gadsden assistant principal sent to a Florida High School Athletic Association representative:
Dear Justin Harrison,
It is with deep regret that I inform you that a decision has been made to forfeit both the Girls and Boys Basketball games that were scheduled to be played on this Friday, January 4, 2013 with the Blountstown Tigers at 5:30 and 7:00 p.m. respectively.
As you are aware, the previously scheduled games between our schools did not yield positive results for either organization. In an effort to eliminate the potential for further discontent that we feel will be detrimental to the spirit of our students, we are opting to withdraw them from an environment that may not be conducive or harm the integrity of West Gadsden High School Basketball.
We apologize for the timing of this notice, but we feel that we must make the best decision in the interest of our students who deserve to perform their best under the best circumstances.
Micheal D. Franklin
Assistant Principal for Curriculum and Instruction
West Gadsden High School

A deck of cards is set down on a table. A spectator is asked simply to think of any playing card, and the magician says he will name it. After a moment of thought, the performer declares, "The name of your card is Phil! You know, short for Phillip!" The audience is understandably a bit surprised. The pack is removed and then shown to have different names printed boldly on the back of every card. When the deck is turned face up and the card named by the spectator is found, it is the one and only card named Phil! Easy to do. No sleights.
With the special Blank Deck you can customize your own routines to suit a particular name, product or theme, making the routine even more memorable.
If you already have the instructions for the Blank Phil Deck we also have the Blank Deck REFILL . This is a full deck of Blank Phil cards.

Who needs roads when you have a mid-engined all-wheel drive minivan? Nobody.
Do you think you can get this van stuck? Think again. The Previa is a beast amongst beasts. Hill? Child's play. Steep approach angle? It's got this. Really, it's got everything. The Previa is all you need.
It's probably the best car Toyota ever made. Probably.

PORTLAND, Ore. – The LA Galaxy were heated when a Robbie Keane goal was called back in stoppage time due to offside, but the team had no quarrel after the final whistle.
Keane appeared to tie the game in stoppage when he headed a Landon Donovan free kick into the back of the net, but the assistant referee Eric Boria raised his flag, ruling the play offside. The offside call through the Galaxy into a fury after the whistle was blown, but television replays showed that Boria was correct as the Galaxy captain was off once Donovan struck the free kick.
"If the referee is right, more credit to him," said LA head coach Bruce Arena. "We've been in a lot of games this year where the plays aren't even close and they don't have them right. So, if they had it right, more credit to them."
Despite initial frustration in the heat of the moment, Keane shrugged off any frustration after the match.
"Someone said that I had a shoulder offside," said Keane. "If it was offside then it was offside."
RT @thegoalkeeper Robbie Keane offside. Nice job Robbie Earle and @ipswichtwn to spot it immediately. pic.twitter.com/2PyjloUX1q— Adam Serrano (@LAGalaxyInsider) September 29, 2013
