Welcome to the New Year and the start of a new campaign: Paraphyly Watch 2009
The aim is to document, as comprehensively as possible, all the misuses and abuses of paraphyly in the scientific and popular literature for 2009.
- By paraphyly we mean non-monophyletic groups or taxa (e.g., grades).
- By misuse, we mean accepting paraphyletic groups* as informative (e.g., using them in analysis).
- By abuse we mean treating paraphyly as being evolutionary or evidence for evolution (e.g., accepting non-monophyletic groups in taxonomy and evolutionary biology).
In December we will award the Pewter Leprechaun to the most outrageous misuse and/or abuse of Paraphyly for 2009.
To start off our watch we have picked up two exemplary cases of paraphyly misuse and abuse in last 2008 issue of Taxon 57(4) by R.K. Brummitt and R.A. Zander.
Brummitt's Evolution in taxonomic perspective consists of several abuses of paraphyly:
- "... emphasis has been increasingly placed on the need for a classification which recognises evolution" (Brummitt, 2008:1050).
- "To overcome these objections to cladistic taxonomy, its proponents argue that we are dealing only with present day taxa and must ignore ancestors because we do not have them and so cannot name them. So at the same time as they define paraphyly in terms of ancestry, they insist on ignoring ancestors (Brummitt, 2008:1050)."
Possibly Brummitt's most incredulous slogan is
- "One cannot avoid paraphyletic groups. Again, 'Evolution is paraphyly all the way'..."
Zander's Evolutionary inferences from non-monophyly on molecular trees starts off promisingly:
- "I here suggest that not only is paraphyly acceptable, but non-monophyly in general may be evolutionarily informative. Non-monophyly of taxa is satisfied by either a paraphyletic" (Zander, 2008:1182).
- "Two different species of the same non-monophyletic genus imply an ancestor with phenotype resolvable only at the genus level" (Zander, 2008:1182).
- "Classifications based on phylogeny should be changed to accommodate non-monophyly-based taxon trees" (Zander, 2008: 1183).
The blight of paraphyly abuse and misuse is one commonly associated with other mistakes such as confusing taxa as species:
- "The exemplars A1 and A2 are paraphyletic, and if A is a species, then the ancestor of A1, A2 and species B is species A" (Zander, 2008: 1184).
- "The cladistic movement of the late 20th century has now split into two. Some can see the impossibility of classification into ranked taxa without any being paraphyletic, and have moved on to the PhyloCode with all its practical disadvantages arising from the abandonment of ranks" (Brummitt, 2008:1050).
* Hennig (1966: 146) defines paraphyletic groups as " ... distinguished from the monophyletic ones essentially by the fact that they have no independent history and thus possess neither reality nor individuality".

Everything that we see triggers an image in our mind, and everyone's perception is different: certain signs and symbols will give contrastive meaning to different people, and fundamentally this is what makes us human.
My photographs explore our obsessions with possessions, and how obsessions make us who we are, or at least who we think we are. Photography for me as an artist was the perfect medium. Photography is defined as painting with light. Without light we wouldn't be capable of seeing signs and symbols, appertaining to our possessions and memories. This leads to the question, why do we regard material possessions as so indispensable?

My ufo & wip piles are out of control and I've lost count of how many I've got going on.
For 2011 I'm on a 'fabric diet' until I complete these projects. Purchasing fabric only for completion of the ufo's & wips, if needed.
During the next week I'll take a count and line them up to finish them off.
I got to thinking that maybe I'm not alone.......so who else would like to join me? We'd all be more successful at it if we have a sense of accountability where we post what we've done every week.
I think we finish off the ones that are closest to completion, then tackle the rest.
We can start on January 1st and I think it would be a fun project. We might actually get a few quilts done!
Let me know who's in, we'll start this week by finding our wips & ufo's and count them all.
Blessings to all,

The Guilt-Free Banana Bread Recipe You Have All Been Waiting For …
Okay, maybe not ALL of you, but ever since I posted about the Breakfast-Worthy Banana Bread from my book, Go Dairy Free, I have been flooded with requests for the recipe. It is in the book (along with tons of dairy-free living info and many other awesome recipes, if I do say so myself), which can be ordered on Amazon for an insanely good price … but enough with the sales pitches … I am more than happy to share that recipe with you here!
But first, a little background on the recipe …
An important part of going dairy-free for me was turning to home-baked bread. At the time, every last loaf at my local grocer contained milk in some form (milk powder, cheese, whey, caseinate, etc.). Even when a couple specialty vegan/dairy-free brands appeared, they were way too costly to warrant regular purchase.
While I learned to enjoy pounding on dough for a good homemade yeast bread once in a while (excellent stress reliever), I don't always have time or the patience for the process. So I set out to create a quick bread that was nutritious enough to use for my morning toast. With that in mind, this bread is completely sugar-free, using just the bananas for a hint of sweetness. I find it perfect as a base for nut butter, jam, or honey, each of which adds their own dose of flavor, wouldn't you agree Ricki? [Ricki has a new cookbook out called Sweet Freedom – desserts without wheat, dairy, eggs, and refined sugar – so I consider her the ultimate expert on sugar-free baked goodies]
If you want a little of the sweet stuff, feel free to add around 1/4 cup of your favorite sugar (honey, brown sugar, maple syrup, evaporated cane juice, sugar straight up, etc.) to the recipe. But, if you want a loaf of sugar-loaded, dessert banana bread, I suggest you look elsewhere.
Healthy foodies who know how to savor the flavor … read on, and fire up that oven!
Unsweetened Breakfast-Worthy Banana Bread
Recipe from "Go Dairy Free: The Guide and Cookbook for Milk Allergies, Lactose Intolerance, and Casein-Free Living" by Alisa Fleming (yours truly!)
This Recipe is Vegan, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Soy-Free, Sugar-Free and Optional Nut-Free
"Going out on a limb, I created a banana bread recipe that is completely void of added sugar of any kind, relying solely on the extra-ripe bananas for their natural sweetness. What resulted was a mildly sweet loaf of bread that my entire family adores. It is perfect for breakfast, and won't leave you face down on your keyboard by 10am. Feel free to make this bread the night before, allowing the banana flavor to infuse and giving the bread time to take on some moisture. If you do prefer a bit of a sweeter loaf, add a bit of sweetener with the wet ingredients." – [Yes, I just quoted myself]
1/2 Cup Unsweetened Milk Alternative of Choice
2 Tablespoons Ground Flaxseed
2 Cups Whole Grain Spelt Flour or Whole Wheat Flour
1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
1-1/2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Cup Grapeseed or Coconut Oil
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
3 to 4 Medium-Sized, Very (Very) Ripe Bananas, Mashed (about 1-1/2 to 2 cups mashed)*
1/2 Cup Nuts, Dried Fruit, or Other Add-ins (optional)
Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. In a large mixing bowl combine the milk alternative and flaxseed and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Returning to your mixing bowl, blend in the oil, vanilla, and bananas until well mixed. Stir in the dry ingredients by hand, being careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay. Gently fold in the nuts, fruit, or any other add-ins, if using. Spread the batter into your prepared loaf pan, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is browned and resilient to the touch. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Mini-Loaf Option: The loaf pictured above is actually a mini-loaf. This recipe will make four mini loaves, baked at 350º for about 22 to 25 minutes. I topped the loaves with some sliced almonds just before popping them in the oven and subbed the vanilla extract with 3/4 teaspoon almond extract for a slightly almond vibe.
* I prefer to use a full 2 cups of banana for the deepest flavor and a very moist bread, but using 1/2 cup less will allow the bread to rise a bit more.
Yields 10 to 12 servings

So every time you go to Michaels they ask for your zipcode. I am so tired of them asking - really? They need to know this for 2 years? So when the lady asked once again, I looked at her and said, "You know, NOPE! I'm not going to give you my zipcode when I've told you everytime I've come in for the past two years and I'm sick of telling you the same thing everytime. You all need to figure out how to track this. So no, I'm not telling."
Yup, rude Z showed up again.........

Dum Dum
I was a real dum dum today. I hit a new low. I was totally rude to two ladies. Like not just kind of rude - Outright rude and gruff and so unChristlike. If I could find them right now I would apologize. It just isn't my nature to be rude like I was. It was like I have always wanted to say what I said but at the end of the day it made me feel really really bad. Does anyone remember You've Got Mail? Meg Ryan finally says the right rude comeback and realizes it didn't make her feel any better. Yup, that was me!
I was in line at FM with a cart full and was putting it on the conveyor belt. I was in a hurry. I was going to be late to a rehearsal at a high school. And the checker was SLOW SLOW SLOW and chatty to the lady in front of me. These two lovely women came up with a bag of corn on the cob and asked if they could go in front of me because they were in a hurry. I looked at them and told them that I was in a hurry too. They said they had to get to Merrill. I told them I was going to be late to a rehearsal and my obligations were just as important as theirs if not more important. And then I just kind of kept at them. I felt so stupid that I allowed my lack of preparation to be somewhere on time get in the way of me being nice. Arghhhhhh!
So ladies at FM - I apologize!

This is what some of our kids call Paul and they may be right. He pretty much amazes me everyday and I am hanging onto his coattails for dear life.
Yesterday he called home around 4:30 and said 'Let's meet for dinner'. So we met and he said 'Happy Anniversary'! I said 'What?' He said 'Happy 10th Anniversary'! To which I again said 'What?'. 'Today is the exact day I found out that I had cancer for the first time and I think we should mark this day with a celebration. He went on to thank me for being there during the dark days of cancer and how grateful he felt to be alive. Then he gave me a really nice present. Really? I got the present? He should be getting a present for surviving it all. He's just so thoughtful.............did I mention I'm hanging on to his coattails? Hard..............

Goodbye....You have served us well.
We bought two of these chairs..........21 years ago! They have moved with us - moved up and down in the house - been laid on - eaten on - and generally lived in. But more importantly, they are our famous 'white chair talks' chairs. Everyone of our children have been asked on many occasions to join us for a white chair talk. We have discussed many things with our kids on those chairs. A few of our in-law kids have had some explainin' to do as to why they were marrying our kids. We've cried in those chairs. We laughed in those chairs. We've yelled at those in the chairs. We've been yelled back at by those in the chairs. I've fallen asleep with my own kids and my grandbabies in those chairs. They are famous in our family circle.
And I will say that only one of our children felt so left out for never having been called for a white chair talk that she asked for one on her own and confessed. What did she confess to? To seeing a movie that was different than the one she said she was going to. What a pathetic confession Alli!
We bid these chairs goodbye. They know more about our family than anyone. They are being adopted into a new home that has no children. They will be lonely for sure. So until we meet again.............

About This Organizer
Our Founding Director Dionne Ybarra is a Mexican American woman born and raised in a marginalized neighborhood in East Salinas, California. The idea for The Wahine Project presented itself when as an adult she took up surfing and it transformed her life. She has since sought to share the liberating and empowering experience of a relationship with the ocean. Dionne has come to the understanding that more time in the ocean becomes a powerful vehicle for connecting girls to their own self-empowerment as well as a way to connect communities of diverse girls to environment, ocean and with one another. She created The Wahine project to eliminate the barriers that may get in the way of those relationships and provide opportunities for them to grow.

Cetris, an online game
Papalot game (alpha)
A few places to rate/review Babala, click below
Don't overlook
Papalot (alpha test)
, online games of our devise. But the main attraction...
Babala is a simple logical game with elements of move strategy. At the start of the contest, the enemy figures "Balabaks" are situated on the playing field. In fending them off, you'll have only limited moves and shots (or laying of mines) allowed during your each round, after which the enemy is permitted a measured advance. If Balabak reaches you, you're mugged, you lose. Enemy doesn't shoot.
Your task is to survive and dispose of all Balabaks. To do this you must choose suitable movements or shots, and that won't be so easy. There may be obstacles and certain rigged perils, critically situated, or distant ammunition stores that have to be reached. You may have to shoot through a wall at Balabaks, and you have a limited numbers of shots. If you don't have enough munitions, then you must tempt the enemy into a trap. Length:
Babala is the earnest product of individual creativity, pristine and given freely, without commercial consideration. The software is non-intrusive and doesn't contain any ads, spyware or viruses. Well, except of course for the fact that playing the game causes so much cerebral trauma that maggots eventually flesh out your entire skull cavity, heh-heh. Kindly submit your opinions and questions about the game, either to our forum, or send email to
. Thank you and.. enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions about Babala gameplay
What do I do now?
Answer: key
, or click the red arrow control. The game allows you only a handful of actions at a time, then you must signal advance of round, and let Balabak come.
What if I get stuck?
If you just can't solve a level and want to move on, use Skip Level, from Game menu; it costs 50 pts. Perhaps do a "Save Game" first, so you can easily return to the trouble spot.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Playing indoors for more than 12 hours
Thursday, the Tennessee Tech men's and women's tennis teams each
dropped a 4-2 match to USC-Upstate in non-conference action at the
Cookeville Indoor Tennis Center.
In the men's match, the Golden Eagles won the points at the top and bottom of the singles ladder, but the Spartans won the four contests in between to clinch the victory. In the women's match, the contest was tied 2-2 before the visitors posted wins in the final two matches for the win.
The Golden Eagle men saw thei record level off at 3-3 while USC-Upstate improved to 6-4. The Tech women fell to 0-4 while the Spartan women left town with a 6-1 dual match record.
Sophomore Alex Chen gave Tech a 1-0 lead with a tough three-set win at No. 1 singles, downing Renzo Airaldo, 6-0, 4-6, 7-5. Tech's other win came from Lloyd Harris at No. 6 singles with a 9-8 (1) decision over Marco Linconir.
In between, Edgar Rodriguez, Javier Tori, Jack Roux and Ramiro Blanco claimed USC-Upstate wins at Nos. 2-5. At the No. 2 spot, Josh Girling put up a good fight in an attempt to give the Golden Eagles a 2-0 match lead, claiming the first set 7-6 before losing the next two to Rodriguez.
The match swung back-and-forth in the women's contest. Francisca
Valderrama gave the Spartans a 1-0 lead by outlasting Leydi Zora,
6-4, 2-6, 6-, at No. 1. Soon after, Tech's Diana Woodcock earned a
three-set win at No. 2 singles to tie the match at 1-1. Woodcock
won 6-3, 2-6, 6-2, over Monica Pezzoti.
Upstate took a 2-1 lead as Simona Cacciuttolo edged Laura Porras in another three-set contest, winning 6-3, 6-7, 6-4 at No. 3.
Golden Eagle freshman Frederike Kahl kept things tight as she swept to a straight set win over Emilia Milovanovic, 6-4, 6-3, at the No. 4 spot.
The No. 5 position was a cliffhanger, won in three sets by Upstate's Carolina Bello. She slipped past Victoria Cran, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, to lift the Spartans ahead, 3-2. The last match on the court went to Upstate's Ana Sofia Camberos with a 6-2, 6-2 triumph over Katie Barnhill, to clinch the victory.
The Teh teams take a break from action for nearly two weeks. The next action for the women's team is March 18 when Tech hosts Chattanooga in a 1 p.m. contest. The Golden Eagle men and women will host Austin Peay on March 19.

Social media has become an essential part of most people's everyday lives, from checking Facebook and Twitter to posting blogs, Pinterest listings, and uploading YouTube videos. However, and with smartphones making it easier than ever to spend time on social media networks, in what ways can these networks be leveraged to engage and build a foundation for future student learning? While the potential of distraction is there, the right social media teaching strategies can lead to creative learning, and a productive approach to making social media part of ongoing professional development.

UCLA Anderson seized the opportunity to connect with the student and professional leadership of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) who were visiting UCLA for their annual National Leadership Institute (NLI). UCLA Anderson students, alumni and staff participated in several activities during the four-day conference August 14-18, 2002, as part of the school's ongoing outreach to maximize diversity in UCLA Anderson's MBA population.
Linda Baldwin, UCLA Anderson's director of admissions, noted that several Anderson students over the years were affiliated with SHPE, including all those involved in this year's NLI outreach events. Baldwin spearheads the school's efforts to attract the finest and most diverse applicants possible and provided strong support for the school's involvement with the institute.
"The invitation-only attendees of NLI are the student and professional officers of SHPE and represent the very best in the organization," said Baldwin. "They are potentially ideal MBA candidates."
The initial idea to get involved in SHPE's NLI conference came from current UCLA Anderson student, Diana E. Cardenas ('03), who worked at Wells Fargo & Company for her summer internship. As a SHPE student and professional officer herself, she had attended the workshop and retreat two years ago.
"Since the members of SHPE come from all over the nation, including Puerto Rico, and the NLI conference is hosted at a different location each year, I knew this was a rare chance to showcase UCLA Anderson," Cardenas commented.
Cardenas was very pleased with the enthusiasm that greeted her proposal to participate, both from SHPE and from UCLA Anderson. Fellow current and former members of UCLA Anderson's Latino Management Student Association (LMSA) volunteered their time to help recruit more Latinos for business schools in general and UCLA Anderson in particular. Cardenas was even asked by SHPE to serve as a judge for the conference's case competition on Saturday.
The first UCLA Anderson-related event took place on Wednesday, August 14, when undergraduate student SHPE officers were given an introductory tour of the school and an explanation of the value of an MBA degree. Kim George, associate director of MBA admissions at UCLA Anderson, coordinated the event and anticipated that perhaps 20 attendees would be interested. However, she was pleasantly surprised when some 250 students accepted the invitation.
"Engineering majors account for one of the largest groups—22 percent—of the incoming MBA class, as well as the majority of those who take the GMAT," noted George. "Since there is such a strong correlation between engineering undergraduates and MBA students, we felt this group would likely have an interest, and they certainly did."
George was able to give the students first-hand information about UCLA Anderson's Riordan Fellows program, as she was a participant in 2001. The goal of Riordan Fellows is to "change the face of business" by preparing and motivating talented, academically competitive undergraduates or recent graduates of diverse backgrounds to apply to and succeed in a top MBA program. They aim to accelerate the Fellow's personal and professional development while facilitating networking opportunities. The Fellows meet once a month for eight months with UCLA Anderson MBA students who serve as mentors, and they participate in discussions, lectures and case studies led by UCLA Anderson faculty.
Tour participant Miriam Ceja, who attends the University of Washington and is SHPE student representative from the organization's Northern California and Northwest region, was already interested in an MBA. She views a graduate degree as an extension of the leadership-building opportunities she has with SHPE and hopes it will give her an edge in the employment marketplace.
"The blend of my strong technical background with the training in business management an MBA would provide should be a great combination," Ceja said.
Another attendee, Aaron Acuna of the University of Texas Pan American and student representative of SHPE's Texas region, is also investigating the possibility of an MBA degree, particularly the fully employed alternative. He was impressed by UCLA Anderson's high-tech facilities.
"I appreciated a chance to actually see the school," Acuna commented. "As an engineer, I was intrigued with the technology. It is definitely not out-of-date."
On the evening of Thursday, August 15, a panel of UCLA Anderson alumni and students spoke to the professional portion of the SHPE leaders. Most of these professionals should be at a good point in their careers to consider an MBA, because they have the business and leadership experience that is preferred in applicants. The panelists each gave their personal background and information on a specific topic: Cardenas covered the MBA application process, Antonio Gomez ('02) detailed the life of an MBA student, Hector Caldera ('02) reviewed an MBA's job search and Laura Rivas ('98) commented on life after obtaining an MBA.
Rivas, marketing supervisor for Toyota and president of the National Society of Hispanic MBAs Los Angeles Chapter, noted that the 40 attendees eagerly questioned the panelists throughout the presentation. The SHPE members recognize that returning to school requires sacrifices and creates challenges in maintaining a balance with personal and family life. Therefore, they were particularly interested in how an MBA would increase their value and broaden their opportunities for employment.
"I was asked if an MBA was needed to perform in my current position, and it definitely was," Rivas said. "As an engineer I focused on a relatively small function of the overall business, and the MBA enabled me to achieve a 'big picture' view with a much higher level of decision-making capability."
Finally on Sunday morning, August 18, UCLA Anderson alum and former LSMA member, Stephen Torres ('94), was the keynote speaker at the conference's closing ceremony for both the professionals and students. Torres, vice president of the western region for FuelCell Energy, Inc., considers himself a product of SHPE.
"My association with SHPE helped me develop the leadership tools and skills I needed to be well prepared, not only for graduate school but also for life after," said Torres. "It was part of the value of the package I brought to UCLA Anderson, which got me admitted."
Torres gave a keynote address built around the themes of the responsibilities of leadership, the need for excellence and social responsibility—values that UCLA Anderson seeks to instill in its students. They are principles he practices himself. He continues to give back both to SHPE and to UCLA Anderson, having served for the last two years on UCLA Anderson's alumni board of directors as diversity outreach chair.

If you don't watch Top Gear, I have to tell you right now that this is going to be about %60 percent less funny. But anyway, the theme to Top Gear is "Jessica", or a synthed up version of it, anyway. Sitting in my tub, I started laughing. Then I noticed it was echoey, so I put on my best Jeremy Clarkson voice and said, "Tonight! Richard Hammond sucks his own cock! I get arrested soliciting a prostitute, and James dies in an autoerotic asphyxia accident!"
The fact that I laughed out loud, or "Loled" as they say in the parlance of our time, got me thinking. How often are my characters laughing per book. I know that if you opened Ashes To Ashes and threw a dart in it, you'd hit somebody crying. But I wonder how many times I just lazily throw that verb at the page because I needed to tag some dialogue to keep it from becoming a screenplay.
Moreover, what are other really repetitive things I write? I have writer friends who I can guarantee certain phrases will pop up in everything they write. I've read authors who repeat the exact same descriptions in every single book of their series. Everyone has their own voice, and sometimes that voice echoes itself.
Reader, what are some often repeated phrases of your favorite authors? Is there any particular phrase of mine that you've noticed, or that you wish I would stop using? Is there anything you find repeated over and over in your own writing?

The God of Calvinism does not exist. The God of Orthodoxy does not exist. The God of Katherine, of Peter, of John, of Mary truly exists. The God is Trinity Person. He does not exist according to theological systems or truths or dogmas.He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Moses. He is the God of living persons.
Many, many living persons believe in the God described.
My point is that people may be absolutely wrong about someone while at the same time they may as well have a real relation with him. Our salvation is entirely based on a real personal relation we live with Christ. Our salvation is not depended from the false or right opinion that we may or may not have about Him. Several people are saying monstrous false things about Christ or God. That is not a sign that they are talking about some other Christ or some other God, but that they are not living our lives, that they have their own personal lives. In order to understand them we have to live their lives and feel their feelings. We have to jump into their places, then we might find out that they are talking about the same Person that we are also talk with such a different way. Then by having the same view we might be able to saw to them what they miss to see by themselves.
If I have offended anyone by my posts, please forgive me. I am bowing out of the boards as much as I can, as they are often not good for me. I just want to say that true unity if based on truth and people putting their differences out in the open to be worked out and not swept under a rug.
We have to be very careful, though, when pursuing reconciliation with heterodox Christians that we do so by bringing them into Orthodoxy, not joining them outside of the Church.
How in Mor's good nameone hundred fifty four postsNo Rachel Weisz picSelam
Orthodoxy is saying that It contains the fullness of the Revealed Truths about the "Devine Sunset and Rain" but It can not (and It is not) disqualifying all non believers from accepting the Devine Gifts - although they are free to misinterpret them as they like....<snip>...You see, brother George, we have to realize that we "the members of the Church" are no different from the "non members of the Church" but only in one thing: While we both benefit from Gods Gifts, we glorify God for Them, and they are not.
You feel that first you have to protect the Truth and then relate with its enemies, and I feel that the first priority is to relate with the enemies of Truth in order to give the Truth the chance to prevail.
So "the Light of Christ shines on all", means that un-created realities (like the Trinity dogma) are given by God to everyone but each one of us is free to relate to Him as he likes.
When being Orthodox we chant "We have seen the True Light!..." we are not in a position to understand the incomprehensible. Because, the so called "Revealed Truth" is really and fully incomprehensible for us to understand.
And by all that I have posted earlier I was trying (and I am still trying) to make clear that there is a crucial ingredient that needs to be added so that salvation is performed by Christ. That ingredient is the human Person of the believer. You have your faith, I have my faith, and everybody else has his own faith. What makes salvation a living reality is that each person is associated with Christ through his singularly personal faith.
Kizzy, Ipap,God is not a "Concept". God is the Living God Who is the Absolute- that is, the Divine Truth is relative to nothing else. As such, the only possible way humanity can know anything about God is by knowing what He Himself has chosen to Reveal about Himself. True theology is about Revealed Truth. True theology cannot possibly have "theories" or "hypotheses". What some call the "knowledge of God", is in fact simply the knowledge of their own concepts and theories of God.The Orthodox Faith is not simply "one possible way" among many. The claim of the Orthodox Church is that it alone contains the fullness of what God has revealed about Himself to humanity. While the non-Orthodox may have some parts of the Revealed Divine Truth, the Orthodox Church alone contains the fullness of Revealed Truth. Ipap's example of the different views which two siblings have of their same father is therefore not applicable. If we use this metaphor, the Orthodox Church would contain both siblings' views of their father (assuming they were both true).
Orthodox Church is a Church of empirical faith. If we deny the "empirical" part we may not ask for the faith.
The God of Calvinism does not exist. The God of Orthodoxy does not exist.
The God of Katherine, of Peter, of John, of Mary truly exists. The God is a Trinity relation of Three Persons. He does not exist according to theological systems or truths or dogmas.
It happens that I have a twin brother. Whenever we talk about our father I realise that my brother has sometimes a very similar view about him with myself but there are also so many other times that he has a very different opinion about him. There are times that I have the feeling that we are talking about two different persons. Though, we are both talking about our own same dad. I think that my view about my dad is the correct one, but this is not excluding my brother from having a real personal relation with him. I believe that the main reason for our difference is that my personal relation with my dad is mine and my brother's personal relation with my dad is his. My father may say or he may do something to us that make my brother furious while at the same time I am not even offended by him.
Several people are saying monstrous false things about Christ or God. That is not a sign that they are talking about some other Christ or some other God, but that they are not living our lives, that they have their own personal lives.
... but I believe it is important to remember that the Divine truth revealed was recorded and transmitted through the written word. And when one reads the Bible, we can see 4 different approaches to the same truth... Each Evangelist had his own style, or rather, picked a style appropriate for the different backgrounds of their audiences...
... but I believe it is important to remember that the Divine truth revealed was recorded and transmitted through the written word....,<snip>... It is faith that 'fills in the gaps' between what was said and that left unsaid...
While it is ture that the Transcendent and Ineffable Trinity can never be contained within words, there are certain revealed Absolute Truths which are expressed in words. Christ taught us, not only with His Being and actions, but also by His words.
OZG, And all of His actions and statements were recorded down by someone else... and the gaps I am speaking of are that when one reads each of the Gospels, some of the statements they reveal are not identical and in fact it is the differences between them that has risen to different 'faiths' .... In fact what is interesting is that for many scriptural quotes one puts as evidence of why one faith believes one thing, another person counters it with another quote that indicates something else... Even the church fathers were not identical in their beliefs... However, sometimes I think that because God knows of the differences within people, the breadth of holy scripture accounts for this... Remember Christ wanted the Apostles to spread the faith and he wanted unity... but it was St. Constantine who took the step of equating unity with 'identical' in every single thing- for political reasons. As an aside, I was reading in the newspaper how a kidnapped woman read to her captor from a new book, "the Purpose driven Life"... and how she was able to transform a horrible situation by doing so... The author/heritage of that book is Baptist and it clearly offered goodness in this situation, esp for the captor. I have not read the book...but the summaries sound inspiring. I wonder how much of it would be consistent with Orthodoxy...perhaps more than we know...In XC, Kizzy
Wow! This sure smacks of Protestant thinking to me.
Well gee, I've never been to a Protestant religious service or read Protestant church materials... Don't even have Protestant acquaintances... most are EO(all backgrounds), or RC, and a few Jews... Apostolic tradition was eventually recorded down in the written word....we have faith that nothing was lost...And it is written word that attempts to explain the tradition today to both EO and those seeking to learn...It is only faith that says it's all there...In XC, Kizzy
but it was St. Constantine who took the step of equating unity with 'identical' in every single thing- for political reasons.
It is only faith that says it's all there...
Well Kizzy, You have just written the most unbelievable remark. Remove faith and everything collapses into pieces. God bless you.
Kizzy,This is nonsense. Firstly, St Constantine the Great did not equate "identical" with unity. The different Liturgies throught the East and West attest to this. Secondly, "unity of Faith" is not an invention of St. Constantine, it comes from Christ and the Apostles.
I believe that interpretation of the words in the Bible, that is a full understanding of God's command, is a centuries long proposition for hunankind in our infinite non-wisdom...the written word is at best a very humble attempt to express the fullness of God... and when we add language translations, it only gets worse...for each language does not have a complete list of words of identical meaning...and substitute words are not always 100% meaning the same........<snip>.......The point is anything that relies on language is imperfect and is likely to have more than one interpretation across geographies...
... but it was St. Constantine who took the step of equating unity with 'identical' in every single thing- for political reasons.
...which is why we native Virginians say, "soda-pop"weird Yankees.
I'm a Californian and perfectly understand the "soda-pop" - it's comprehensive! I should look up that Cal-Tech (or is it MIT or Stanford) study on the Soda/Pop survey.
Kizzy,Language is the only means we have of sharing ideas, faith, knowledge. etc. with one another.And of all the forms of language, the most precise is the written word. The Nicene Creed is written in words, and is a statement of the faith which all members of the Church accept. How many ways can the Nicene Creed be interpreted? In order to change the meaning to include a new idea, (or some would say, in order to 'better express" an "existing" idea), the Western Church had to insert a new word into it- 'filioque". With all it's imperfection, the written word was so able to precisely define Absolute Truth that it had to be changed to accomodate another idea.
... So, what I'm saying is that once we start working with different languages it becomes very difficult for the 'outsider' to truly analyze something written in a different culture and tongue..
What I'm saying/asking rhetorically is to think of why did the NC need to be created? We had the Bible right?
Kizzy, Ipap,what you are both suggesting is the "Perfect" Church would be something like the Quakers who worship in silence. Is this how you both hope to prevent the exclusion of "outsiders"?Did Our Lord exclude the Chinese because He spoke neither Canonese nor Mandrin?
The faithful who are not at least in the state of illumination may seem better than members of other religions, but may be even morally worse.
Brother ozgeorge, I am just trying to make (emphatically) clear that "Latins" are human beings with their own individual personality - each one of them - and that they may be relate to Jesus as persons with the same personal relation such an Orthodox Christian does while being wrong in their "theology".
(Jesus was incarnated as man-God and has been crucified so that would be possible for humans to relate with Him through a personal relation, not for giving them the "true knowledge of God").
Apostle Paul was a dreadful persecutor of Christians and he had faith to a anti-Jesus theology but that had not prevented him from relating to true God - actually he saw Jesus personally before he was even been baptized. He was honestly and personally ministering God while having a false faith that drove him into false actions.
All it takes for a Chinese to meet the true God is just to live the reality of the "law that is written in his heart by God" as Apostle Paul did. There is absolutely no need to read about God. Al that has to do is to live the lives of other people.
We, Christians, call that personal participation to the lives of others "Christian love" and Christ had said that: "by that you shall be separated from others as my true disciples in that you shall love each other".
Just a simple question that may help me clarify my position on this issue: Before the separation of Church to Eastern and Western ones, were there people that they honestly were confessing one orthodox faith but in their hearts they were living an unspoken Romeo-Catholic reality regarding their personal relation with God - prior to formal creation of papal theology? Are there those kinds of people today inside the Orthodox Church that they think that they truly and honestly believe in One Orthodox dogma and Orthodox faith but in their personal relation with God are not living such a reality? I may have ask myself twice before I answer to this question regarding "my faith" and "my relation with God".
I think that there are many so called "Latins" that they are convinced that they are following Vatican theology - they may even be ready to give their lives on this issue - but they are actually having a true Ortodox relation with the true God. Chinese, Quakers and everyone else is included in living such an misconception in their lives.
... What I am saying is that while we use the written word, we cannot be fully defined by the written word alone...
...I've asked an expert in Orthodox chant how would we use the 8 modes in an Asian country such as Thailand...where the language itself has it's own 'tonality' and is so complex that most expats never learn the local language... As of now there is not an answer to this question...so the task to teach the Orthodox faith to some other cultures, in order to succeed, may need to rely significantly less on language, and more on first understanding the life experience of another culture, and living by example...
"Christ was crucified so that we can have a personal relationship with Him"? This is the most foreign, innovative and unOrthodox explanation I have ever heard.
"What happens if the Latins are right?"
Salvation is not about rightness and wrongness.
The real question to be asked is "What happens if the Latins know Christ?"

Continuing the chicken theme, here is another very simple recipe using boneless chicken thighs. This time I have used skinless meat. The thighs are cut into pieces, marinated in balsamic vinegar and soy sauce, and coated with sesame seeds. The balsamic vinegar adds tang and a little sweetness. They are then simply pan=fried in a non-stick frying pan that is barely coated with oil. I've used both black and white sesame seeds for a little added color, but you could use all-white (light brown) sesame seeds. (Using all black seeds might make them look carbonized!)
Combine the chicken pieces, vinegar and soy sauce, and stir around to help the flavors permeate the meat. Leave to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat up a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, and add just a litte oil (or use a cooking spray) to coat the bottom.
Drain off the chicken, and coat with the sesame seeds. Press with your fingers so that the sesame seeds stick as much as possible. Arrange the pieces as flat as possible in the frying pan. Pan-fry for about 4-5 minutes on medium-high heat, then turn over and cook for another 4-5 minutes or so. The chicken should be cooked through, and the sesame seeds should be crispy rather than soggy. (Alternatively you can cook them in a toaster oven for 6-8 minutes at 200°C / 400°F or on 'high' (or equivalent setting), on aluminum foil.)
Cool before putting into your bento box.
It was pointed out in the comments to the salted chicken thighs recipe that boneless chicken thighs there usually come with the skin removed too. It's interesting how the types of cuts of meat offered in various countries differ. Here in Switzerland, I couldn't even get chicken thighs by themselves until a few years ago - it was the whole leg or nothing. Even now, boneless thighs are not that commonly seen prepackaged at the supermarket, though it is getting easier to find them. When they offered boneless though, the thighs usually come with the skins attached.
In Japan, boneless and skin-on chicken thigh is a standard cut, so you see it used in a lot of recipes. On the other hand, split bone-in chicken breast, a standard cut in the U.S., is not seen at all in Japan (or in Switzerland either)! Neither is the 'quartered' chicken, with two thighs-and-legs and two breast halves with the backbone still attached.
Anyway, to deal with my chicken dilemmas, soon after I started living in Switzerland I got a good boning knife and taught myself how to joint a whole chicken, so I could get the exact cuts I wanted. This is a very useful skill to learn for anyone, but expecially for the hungry and confused expat!
(Two other types of meat cuts that are very cheap and commonly used in Japan are thinly sliced (usugiri) and roughly chopped (komagire). Both are usually made from medium-fat (not lean) parts of pork or beef. Both are quick-cooking cuts that are really useful in bento, but frustratingly are not that commonly seen here in middle Europe, or in the U.S., unless you go to a speciality Japanese grocery store. I do try to keep these cuts of meat differences in mind when I post recipes here, but that does mean that there are whole categories of bento recipes that would be a bit too much work to use outside of Japan.)

I miss being able to buy usugiri and komagiri meat. When I was living in DC there was an Arab butcher who was willing to produce those cuts for me, once I described what I wanted, but I haven't found a butcher in Boston who will do the same.
I recently bought some shinkiang dark rice vinegar for a recipe and found it oddly similar to balsamic. Given the assumed oriental inspiration I guess this might add an authentic touch, even if it tastes the same :)
What do you call "french dressing" ? is it what we call "vinaigrette" (a blend of vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, sometimes mustard ?) ?
Oh, those look delicious! Three of my favorite flavors, all in one place. I will definitely give this recipe a try.
(Since I'm here—I made your soy & butter corn on the cob recipe last night, and it was brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing all of these lovely recipes!)
An absolutely delicious looking recipe. I'm drooling over the photo. Thanks!
I'm just beginning to teach myself how to cook, so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. If I try to make this in a toaster oven, what settings and for how long should I cook these at?
hi there maki!
8 minutes at what temperature though? ;)
I've had something like this before and it was AMAZING. My boyfriend still talks about it. I think the sesame seeds make the dish.
The only differences is I marinated with soy and dry sherry/shokoshu and also made a sauce to dip one side of the cooked pieces (wings work best) with before sesame seeding them.
1/4 cup soy sauce 3 tblspoons superfine sugar 2 tblspoons dry sherry 1 star anise
Heated together in a pan till thick.
If you have any chicken left you should try it out!
I think I know what's for dinner tonight now!
hahaha. thank you very much maki. ;)
and i just LOVE your blog! =)
I made this last night for my husband and toddler. They both loved it. The toddler is especially picky. I think he might love Japanese food, especially the combination of sweet and savory that's in this dish.
Thanks so much for your blogs. I've been trying to figure out how to make sushi with brown rice for years! You've cracked it!
Hi, my name is Lynh and I am a rusher... (hangs head in shame) I am happy to report that even dumping in the seeds with the marinade didn't affect the crispiness. Probably because I had a high seed to chicken ratio, but everything still came out crispy and delicious. Thank you not so much for this specific recipe but a simple cooking philosophy that I can apply to a lot of my meals. If your site were a cookbook, it would be splattered from so much use. Please, Maki - Look me up if you're ever in new york city - in need of a couch, a meal, or both!
Is there a difference between usugiri and "shaved" commercial lunch meat cuts? I know a lot of delis nowadays in the US will also slice their deli meat "shaved", I was wondering if that might be a good substitute for those kinds of recipes...
Can I marinate the chicken overnight? will it make a difference in taste if I omit the sesame seeds?
Love this recipe! I made it and drizzled honey before I served it for added sweetness--super delicious!!!
This is so simple and Delicious!

How to Tie A Scarf, Paris
CommentsClose comment
95 comments
smooth. casual cool
We vote for function over form regarding men's scarves. This photo captures a "Parisian Marlboro Man Dons Too-Cool-For-School Cravat" look that doesn't quite hit the mark.
Really?! I have not dwelt on the scarf but admired his simultaneous ly rough and smooth style, He's very handsome without looking too self-concerned. I actually find his styling and the always perfect fit of his clothes, (if I am correct in thinking he has appeared on The Sartorialist a few times), quite inspiring: quality and classic items will always look fine.
He reminds me of a younger, more stylish Dustin Hoffman. I love his shades of blue.
The lapels on the jacket give it a 70′s vibe. It looks great. The ticket pocket is a nice detail. Gray flannel is classic.
I suggest buttoning up one more button on the shirt. It' looks a bit to "floppy" under the jacket as it is now.
The scarf is tied nicely. Loose and informal. Goes with the rest of the outfit. I'd have chosen a bolder color to add some punch. Maybe red?
He's well-dressed, the scarf and jacket are both very nice, but to me his outfit fails to transcend the sum of its' parts- I can't criticize the combinations I just don't find them particularly inspired. Now on a small technicality, the scarf isn't tied at all, is it?
Oh he looks super cool. Before I even read the title I figured he was French! I love his silver watch and the twine bracelet he has on.
This is masculine, chic, and an excellent statement describing the character of the one wearing it. I see a brown belt — I wish I could see his shoes. I love brown shoes with black pants almost as much as I love people who say black and brown don't mix.
I love all the blues and how they were all thought out….or not….
they just work
Not sure about the pants but i love the accessories!
Looks great – colours perfect… it is just the annoying bracelet turquoise that gets in the way… – that watch should be alone.
Nice YSL jacket, but a bit too tight shirt.
All about the buttons…
Beautiful! Love the jacket with the scarf and the blue combination…nice and smooth.
Thanks for the scarf tieing tip. The colors are so nicely subdued.
Those French guys are ridiculous with their scarves. Other people of the world: just give up.
But the cigarette is a terrible accessory. And it's all about accessories.
looks great, and maybe someone tells him in How To Extinguish The Cigarette, that would make him look even better…
this is very very nice, the scarf thing is very French I find.
amazing bleu!
Shades of Blue very nice…..
I think this is a very sexy look. I love the grey jacket with the navy blue underneath. The scarf is a great touch.
Smooth. Très smooth…
i love the reto, early 60s blazer, and riviera neckscarf. I also think the tone on tone mixing of gray/blue is lovely. Are we experiencing a blue and gray moment?
I am waiting for you to publish a little book that is nothing but scarves. Kind of like those small Taschen guides to interiors.
I've downloaded a few pictures to remind myself of different ways to tie my scarves and shawls. You don't have to credit me — just give me an autographed copy!
So stylish
What about that hard press on the jacket sleeve?? Intentional or not?
Yes, such a nice jacket. Love the form fitting polo shirt.
very french. i lovelove his grey jacket and it goes really well with blue! would love to see his shoes though.
Nice casual look I love the fit of his coat and the nice accent with the scarf.
Very Italian kind of dressing although the picture was taken in Paris. By that I mean the 'ton-sur-ton' way of dressing ; the shades of blue are just wonderfully mixed together… love his bracelet too …
this is what all men his age should look like
the colors are awesome and the loose tying of the scarf keeps him from looking like he's trying too hard. i'm not in love with how the shirt fits, but overall…well done.
I'm loving the color palette!!
a great look indeed. casual, sporty, masculine, and elegant. it just works. the colors work well together, and I love the scarf. the vintage brown belt is the perfect finishing touch.
I agree with Lizzy Washington…a blue and grey moment, indeed!
I love how he's not looking at the camera.
I don't like the cigarette, but he looks hot! Love the scarf.
Smoking is cool!
Great picture
He does wear that outfit so well.
I love how the muted colors still have a marked contrast from each other. Just perfect.
Love this!
Can someone please explain to me what, exactly, the point of an ascot is? (I know this isn't an ascot, but I've been wondering for a long time.)
Great scarf look, but surely it will constantly come loose?
Hmmm. I like his style but I don't like the colour of the scarf. And that turns it into a 3/5.
Love the tweed coat and scarf..wondering why there is a heavy crease on the arm of the jacket? He's super-cool alright.
why the hate for the cigarette? it's a part of his look and without it he's not complete. society today in it's crusade to condemn the cancer stick forgets that those that suffer the ill effects of smoking are not merely smokers, but are smokaholics. drink too much, the liver fails. eat too much, beware of diabetes. smoke too much, get ready for cancer. but please god don't let the cigarette die, not when it looks like this. his twine bracelet could be moved to the other wrist, for my input.
Color harmonies are good, I like tight shirt but not this way. Jacket is perfect fit and scarf cover it good and even could be better if big side was front or on one shoulder not in the back of neck.
This is the look I love. Relaxed, french, stylish, cool and smart. The not too perfect done hair and the not too perfect "done" body.
What's nice is his scarf tying looks so … effortless. As if he didn't fuss too much with it.
He gets an "A" for effortless coolness.
Great jacket&overall style. Kind of "myway" attitude, which looks great.
This man is perfection! The scarf is a nice touch that not every man can pull off, especially one like this :]]
I love the overall look and the fact that the scarf is sort of just wrapped around his neck in a casual manner is superb. It gives an aire of insouciance to the look – a little modern bohemian.
The only thing I am a little put out by is the length of his sleeve – just a tad too short. Another half an inch would have done the job.
Adore the balance of colour.
Good looking gent too.
I want the Jacket.
Tying a scarf is high on my list of things to learn, I just can never do it as effortless & cool as this prime example. Perfect! Parisians have it down to a tee!
I love it, I am so wearing a scarf like that tomorrow!
1. i disagree on wearing that cellphone in that pocket.
2. scarfing up things works charmingly french. when it's done as hermèsque as here it's even more charming.
3. unfortunately there are no cuffs peeking out. i hope he's not wearing a shirt with short sleeves.
4. also, the shirt looks a bit tight to me.
5. very intreagued about the shoes. perhaps he is wearing that perfect sort of brown leather ones, which is very fine. but if it was summer, i so much hope he would go for a pair of turquoise alligator tod's on bare feet (instead of those two bracelets, which i find quite disturbing).
Oh my a new Serge Gainsbourg!
how to wear a an awesome blazer
The scarf is great. The smoking is gross. I know that the smoking thing comes up a lot on the comment board, and what I have realized is that (for me) smoking has a devastating effect on sartorial style. I'm not a prude about everything, but I can't appreciate the scarf because of the presence of the smoking. It really is a style issue for me (in addition to the obvious). If Scott's images weren't so sharp, I wouldn't have to face such clear focus on the cigarette.
Looks so effortless.
The shoes, the shoes, what about the shoes!?
I'm loving the blue + grey and the brown belt is well done.
serge, is that you?
such an amazing photo. it encaptures the essence of paris for me
Perhaps too much resolution, because I can not see what he's holding in his right hand.
I dig his jacket!
I'm studying in Paris right now, and I am constantly amazed at the different ways the French tie their scarves! it's like they're born with an innate talent for it… I can never get mine to look as cool as they do
anyway, this man looks great.
I'm not sure about the twine, but he is definitely well put together.
The cigarette definitely completes his look. If I could do it with the flair of a Frenchman, I would certainly pick up smoking.
Cool! I love the coat and the belt! In this outfit brown, blue and black show are harmonic…GREAT!
He has a little belly and it is also great, because he isn't so perfectly slender and still he's handsome and so good-looking. He's dressed really super-chic and smart and in the same time easy. Colours are very nice, I love this palette.
He's the fashion director of Spanish Marie Claire. Really nice person. And perfectly dress. Colors, clothes, accessories, everything is perfect (except the cigarrette
This is beutiful, I love it.
He's a smart guy no doubt – but the scarf makes him look girly.
love the scarf-braceletes-cigarette combination. love the colour palette. love a little bagginess of the clothes that makes the total look relaxed and sophisticated…
what is it with this hatred for cigarettes? let the man have his smoke – he is not killing anyone with it. ESPECIALLY noone who lives on the other side of the world.
life itself can be a rather unhealthy business, so for god's sake stop judging other people for their vices. don't you have any?
tie baby tie!
Anonymous 3:44: Smoking causes cancer, emphysema and other serious problems, and not just for this person, but for people around him. You can quit it. I did.
As far as drinking, well you can put the drink down, too. Temperance is a good thing. Alcohol, when abused, leads to a lot of problems, societal as well as medical. What's responsible for a lot of violence on a personal level in this world? Alcohol
A drink and a smoke ruin an outfit in my book.
My stylish Western girlfriends were walking down the street in Delhi one day, enjoying a puff, and an older Indian man walked by and said, disapprovingly, "Tsk tsk tsk. Smoking and drinking. Smoking and drinking." I feel like him right now, a Brahmin on a high horse. Sorry, folks. But I stick by my words!
i gave up smoking, too. and i used to smoke a lot. but people who think they are better than others just because they quit are really getting to me.
you can decide who to live with, and almost all public places (even over here in europe)are smoke-free. accidently inhaling a whiff of smoke on the street isn't harming anyone. he's french, works for a fashion-magazine; it is probably safe to say that holding a fag is in his dna. let it rip!
Even though being a woman (- a restrictive factor?), I tie my scarf like that too! It started when I wore a scarf, made from slippery fabric, which constantly "untied" itself around my neck. So it was easier to just let the ends stay loose like that.
But I think it works only with shorter scarves like that and not the longer ones. Just a thought. Should try it out to see whether I am wrong.
Continuously loving your memory- and thought provoking pictures :).
Merike from Estonia (currently studying in France. By the way, I feel very at home here, enjoying the subtle colors, the elegant details of the clothes the French wear).
this is a great picture and he has amazing style. i read something about this being a ysl coat, any recommendations where i could find a similar style with a lower price point?
Any idea about how to wrap a scarf that way?
Now the real question: has anyone got his phone number???
I love it. I'll do the same. For scarf.
stylish and very relaxed…
I have a couple of scarves that insist on being worn this way – for some reason a knot just ruins the effect. Surprisingly, they stay put just fine.
Great image! It really captures the movement and action of the subject. Would love to know what he is thinking about.
There's very special people who have the key to do extraordinary the more common. The name of this key: personal style.
A typical "Parisien" ;)
Anonymus, he is not a typical "Parisien". He is Enrique Campos, fashion editor from Marie Claire Spain.
Estas guapisimo!! Que estilazo!!
i think the look here is great, he looks cool and comfortable in what hes wearing. what i dont like is the huge lappels!!
where can you get a scarf like that?
"Nothing flashy, no gimmicks, just good tailoring and consistent, quiet good taste. That's so Spanish. Europe's best kept secret."
Glenn O'Brien
Such a casual stance and so at ease at himself as well
This is very typically Parisian composition of styling. Blazer, button down, scarf, and the always look of activity or movement. He has a purpose other then being a model for a fashion blog, he is not looking at the camera, but rather looking ahead and taking a puff of his cigarette nonchalantly, like things like this happen everyday. He is also invoking his American neighbors with the bandanna used as a scarf around his neck. Trés Chic No?
Is he accessorising with a Nintendo wii remote? I've have opted for more retro technology.
i have seen this picture many times,and is one of my favorite sartorialist pictures! the range of colors, the scarf and the best….the cigarrette! that completes the outfit in a very particular way that makes me like it even more.
I love these photos!

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12 (UPI) -- The death of a girl at San Francisco General Hospital Friday raised the death toll from the crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 to three, authorities said.
The girl, described only as a minor, had been treated for critical injuries at the hospital since the time of the crash, CNN reported. Her name was not released at the request of her family, the Los Angeles Times said.
"Her parents have asked that we reveal no further information at this time," the hospital said in a statement. "We will respect their wishes while they grieve."
A 16-year-old girl who died in the crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 was run over by a fire truck, San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr said earlier Friday.
It was unclear, however, if she was alive at the time the vehicle struck her, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Ye Meng Yuan was flying from China to visit Stanford University and attend camp in Southern California.
Suhr said the girl's body was found by firefighters after the crash.
In an interview with the Chronicle aired on KPIX-TV, San Francisco, Suhr said video indicates Ye was struck by a fire truck rushing to the scene of the crash.
"We know for sure she was at least run over one time, but at the time she was under foam, so nobody could have seen her," Suhr said. "And the question is whether or not she was still alive at the time. So the coroner in San Mateo County will be determining that."
Federal investigators say the Boeing 777's automatic controls seemed to be working normally before it crash-landed July 6 at San Francisco International Airport, killing two people and injuring 182.
National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Deborah Hersman said the cockpit tools that help pilots set minimum speed and altitude during landings showed "no anomalous behavior" on the flight.
The pilots said they had set the plane's automated throttle to maintain speed but noticed the speed declining and tried to recalibrate, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The pilots were making a number of adjustments to the plane's instruments, including "multiple" automatic functions, in the last 2 1/2 minutes of the flight, Hersman said.
Investigators were finishing their on-scene investigation of the accident Thursday and were analyzing pieces of the plane at NTSB labs in Washington, the Times said. A report on the final findings in the investigation is expected in about a year.
