It's time to relax and thank designers for their latest runway revelations. Forget about plucking and pulling down mini dresses and super-short skirts – this season is all about midi and long maxi dresses. The knee or floor-length dresses are not only the most comfortable way to dress but also a ladylike and feminine approach to fashion. mytheresa.com has assembled all the designer staples for you to dress up in for the new season with long and midi dresses.
The idea that full-length dresses can only be worn by tall women is purely a myth. Smaller frames can look just as gorgeous in long maxi dresses – it only takes a few tricks. High heels are the most obvious way to glam up the styling but it is also the hemline ( opt for ankle-length over floor-length dresses) and the colouring (choose monochrome long dresses rather than opulent prints) that make a difference.
Another favourite trend of the season is the midi dress. Tall or small, every woman regardless of her body shape can throw on a midi-length dress and look fabulous. On mytheresa.com you will find all the styles the greatest designers love. From retro-charm to avant-garde looks and post-modern designs we'll provide you with every must-have of the season.
Long dresses for women are made to impress. They instantly add a super-feminine touch to your look and suit almost any occasion. Long flowing summer dresses are just perfect for hot days in the city, and long, elegant or formal dresses make an entrance in the evening. As long white dresses are not only a wedding essential but also a summer staple, mytheresa.com has selected the most beautiful designs for you to choose from.
If you'd prefer a one-of-a-kind midi dress, mytheresa.com has the right picks for you. Stella McCartney's statement dress is the reinvention of the shirt dress and comes with tigers in various colours. The precious silk flows easily and softly and flatters in all the right places. Just throw it on, add a pair of heels and your statement styling is done. Or opt for a long pink dress to make a colourful fashion statement. Colour-blocking is still a huge trend for fashion pros, so accentuate your styling with contrasting colours.
When looking for a classic design, long black dresses are an essential in your closet. Just like the LBD they add instant glamour and ladylike chic, while taking elegance to a higher level. The most gorgeous long black dress we've ever seen? Dolce & Gabbana black lace gown. Sexiness meets perfect style and makes this dress the ideal choice for any evening occasion.
Midi dresses are a guarantee for maximum style. With summer midi dresses you are perfectly dressed from day to night and can just lean back and enjoy the sun. For formal occasions, opt for a cream midi dress or a beautifully embellished design in muted colours. You can never go wrong with a black midi dress. Business occasions, family dinners and date nights alike are all covered. Planning a girl's night out? A lace midi dress is the most alluring way to dress in style. Colourful or classic black – the choice is yours.
Victoria Beckham perfectly transfers her classy and modest style into her designs. The bright orange body-con midi dress pairs a clean cut with a feminine silhouette and vibrant colouring. This midi dress is made to impress in business meetings, at dinner, for special occasions. For a charming retro appeal see Valentino's floral midi dress. The high neckline adds a sophisticated note to the romantic style of the dress and the lace details create a charming touch.
Elegant long dresses with sleeves, retro striped midi dresses or flirty body-con design – discover the latest midi length and designer long dresses on mytheresa.com and add new essentials to your closet.

Carnival Response: This bra is seamless and has molded cups. The only reason that the cups will not look smooth is if they are too big on you and they are not completely filled out. Unfortunately we do not make this bra in a size 44A. DMG from USA
Carnival Response: This bras is designed specifically for full figure women. The demand is so overwhelming for larger sizes that it is almost impossible to keep up with. Since your review is very vague I cannot address your concerns in detail but usually a complaint of lack of support is a result of choosing the wrong size. Jauharah from Albany/NY/USA
Carnival Response: The care instructions on the bra call for hand washing and hang drying. Although it does not usually happen, machine washing multiple times can cause the underwire to poke out in the bra. Carol from Florida
Carnival Response: It is very surprising to hear about the problems with the straps since this bra was designed to be worn without straps. The removable straps are only included as an additional support mechanism when this bra is not worn with a strapless dress. Either you tightened the straps too much resulting in the tearing of the elastic or you are wearing the wrong size bra. Elly from Elizabethtown

I was at Ulta the other day checking out all the new stuff they had on display. That's when I saw Urban Decay's Fall 2008 and Holiday Collections. I had seen them online but trying them out at Ulta was an absolute blast ! I was like a kid at the candy store going back and forth to the mirror trying lipstick after lipstick and making notes on which ones I liked and why. LOL ! Yeah I had a notepad and a pen and wrote down the colors I liked and how they looked on me. There were a bunch of girls there who really didn't get what I was doing. They probably thought I was another geeky Indian who was taking notes and "studying" the lipsticks ! LOL, I am a beauty geek !
The lipsticks come in a gorgeous case with a dagger coming out the bottom of the case. It feels like you are pulling out the dagger when you are actually only getting out your lipstick ! According to Urban Decay this is " Not your standard Lipstick case, we added more glamour and an Urban twist: Urban Decay Lipstick tubes, made from weighty, purple metal, are pierced with a mini gunmetal dagger. The clear cap is decorated inside and out with two-toned purple flourishes. The effect is multidimensional, and incredibly luxe.Ooh la la." Ooh La La indeed !
The colors range from nudes to pinks, reds, wines, berries to every other lip color one can think of. There is also a good assortment of neutrals, warm and cool colors to match a large range of skin tones. This was one of those moments when too much choice was bad and confusing. But the website is very helpful as the colors are segregated into categories of Full Coverage, Semi- Sheer, Sheer, Cream, Sheen and Shimmer. You can click on one of these tabs and you will get a list of all the lipsticks that fit the description of sheer or which ever you chose. This I thought was great because most often I cannot tell Shimmer from Sheer just by looking at the swatches.
The lipsticks are of very good quality. They are infused with Vitamin A, C, E and have plenty of other ingredients to minimize fine lines and wrinkles. It tastes a bit of caramel but the smell isn't so caramel- ish. Thankfully the smell fades the minute you put it on, or I would have had major issues with it.
The deeper colors have a great staying power. The lighter shades are beautiful in that they are very well pigmented but at the same time look light and fresh on the lips. My two favorite light shades were Rush and Jailbait. Rush is a neutral pink and jailbait is my peeeeeeeeerrrfect nude. I can see myself reaching for one of these two colors every single day. One another favorite was Wanted , a pretty berry shade.
Few other shades I tried were Requim ( deep nude), Pistol (warm beige), Vinyl (plum), Wanted( warm berry), Wicked ( Mauve). Pistol and Wicked were the two shades that had some silver shimmer on it. The shimmer looks heavy in the tube put comes off looking very pleasant on the lips. Vinyl is a great shade for medium / medium dark to dark skin tones. Its looks very deep in the case but comes off as a plum with a touch of purple - very different, very nice.
I am still not done with these lipsticks. I have Tease and Indecent on my list. Which ones do you like? Take my word and just get one at least for the brilliant , one of a kind packaging. They also have the case alone for sale, its limited edition though so go get it before they stop selling it. You can then show off your favorite lipstick with oodles of style !
The price does seem a little steep at $22 but the quality, the choice of colors and the packaging makes it totally worth it.
I even made up a slogan for it " Your weapon of choice in this Lipstick Jungle " LOL ! I actually mailed a couple of revolution ( true red) lipsticks from UD to my BFFs last weekend and wrote this on the card I sent with it. At least one of em thought it was funny ;)

I ran to Ulta today and got Wanted after reading your review. Its the perfect everyday shade for me, while I was there I tried surreal makeup in hallucination and found my perfect match :). I plan on going back to get another UD lipstick but cant decide between requim and pistol.

Hi Sunny,
Ooh Requim and Pistol huh...tough choice. Pistol has some shimmer to it ...so it will be very different from Wanted. But then Requim is another great everyday color ! Lemme know what you decide :) - RevitaDerm said... @ December 29, 2011 at 12:52 PM

Five Question Friday!! 11/18/11
14 comments:
I am glad I am not the only one who plays gas tank roulette, someone made the mistake of telling me that once your light goes on you still have a good 5-6 miles left of gas, now I don't feel super compelled to fill it up right when the light goes on LOL. Happy Friday, hope your weekend is a good one.
ReplyDeleteI have real trees and have experienced both of those same problems. We tether our tree to the wall also by tying it with string of all things, but it works.
Christmas music. I heard it yesterday for the first time this season. I screamed, noooooooo! I think it should be reserved for December. Once December 1st hits, I'm happy with it.
JillI am SO BUSY today, well, more like this week and next, and I almost didn't read your post, but am so glad I did, thanks for the smile! I love that you listed Colorado Christmas, most people I have met who don't live in Colorado have never heard of it. Since I am from Colorado, and lived there the first 26 years of my life, and desperately want to move back there I LOVE THAT SONG and it makes my heart happy!
ReplyDelete1. Do you have a go to song that always puts you in a good mood? Yes! She's My Kind of Rain by Tim McGraw. That's my husband's song for me.
2. Are you a real Christmas tree kinda person or do you go with a real fake one? Real Christmas tree, of course :).
3. What are you thankful for?
4. Which fashion fad from the past do you wish you could wear today? Hmmm...none, I don't think.
5. Do you wait until the "low fuel" light comes on before you fill up the gas tank? Yes! Horrible habit. I'm working on that :).
I love comments! And, I welcome your thoughts that aren't in agreement with mine...as long as they are respectful!

Lots of people have had great success with diets that involve counting calories, using a point system, or adding up grams of fat. But none of that has ever worked for me. I can never seem to remember to track my meals or cross-reference menu options with some smartphone app when eating out.
One diet tool I've found very powerful: Knowledge. The other night I slipped into my kitchen for a sweet date with a hot fudge sundae. Obviously it was delicious, but as I stared into my empty bowl, I wondered if a serving of Rocky Road was truly worth the intense workout it would take to burn off the equivalent amount of calories.
I hit the web to research stats about how many calories we consume and how many we burn and quickly realized that my frozen treat did not taste good enough to cancel out an weekend's workouts. Fitness expert Jay Cardiello is always telling me how important diet is, and now it's clearer than ever that he is right! If I don't get smart about my diet, I'll never get off the treadmill--figuratively and literally.
The more I read throughout the week, the more it influenced the exercise and eating choices I made. We don't all have the flexible finances to join a full-service diet program or the discipline to count every calorie, but just understanding how our bodies process food and how much work it takes to burn off our culinary indulgences can have a serious impact.
Burning off that sundae would take a long, hardcore run. And pounding pavement when it's blazing hot outside isn't my idea of a good time. I'd much rather enjoy a fruit smoothie and a bike ride, which is exactly how my niece Payton and I kicked off our week. Chocolate is sweet, but for me, a morning with a great girl, summer fruit, and a beach cruiser is much better.

Abstract: Ever Since the publication of the "St. Louis Equation" by Anderson and Jordan and its later appearance as a conerstone of the St. Lois Model, the equation has been the subject of great debate. The equation showed that quarterly changes in the money stock exerted a much greater influence on nominal GNP than did quaterly changes in high employement federal spending.

All England managers are entitled to begin their time in charge with the fresh spring of optimism and a clean break from the decades of disappointment that have followed the national team since its solitary triumph in 1966. Yesterday, even the notoriously unreliable Mancunian climate obliged Roy Hodgson by bathing his second training session at the Etihad Stadium in sunshine.
There are 17 days left until England play their first game of Euro 2012 against France in Donetsk and having convened his squad on Wednesday, Hodgson has – as it stands – only two fit and available strikers for that game. Yesterday, Danny Welbeck once again played no part in training, his ankle ligaments still a concern, and it grows increasingly inevitable that Andy Carroll will have to start the game.
Nevertheless, these are still the early days for Hodgson who, as is his way, took training himself yesterday morning. For those players summoned in from the margins, who now believe they have a chance to play games, and for the new coaching staff, it is a time to be hopeful. If they cannot be that way now, without a game played and none of the recriminations and grudges that have characterised so many regimes of the past, then when can they?
It has been the way of the Football Association in the recent past to swing from one extreme to another in choosing the kind of manager, and therefore the kind of regime, that the organisation thinks is best suited to achieving success. After Glenn Hoddle's hardline attitude to his players came Kevin Keegan and his card schools. When the pressure became too intense under Keegan, the FA appointed Sven Goran Eriksson who let everyone do what they wanted.
After Eriksson was Steve McClaren, unfortunately not the FA's first choice but in the end not regarded as enough of a heavyweight name to deal with England's problems. He was followed by the austere years of serial winner Fabio Capello who was, in the end, regarded with mixed feelings.
Where the Hodgson years will fit into this cycle of light and shade, boom and bust – mostly bust it should be said – will emerge in time. What was obvious from yesterday was that Gary Neville, his coach, will be a crucial figure in the England camp. With a shortage of defenders in the squad yesterday, especially with Glen Johnson still struggling with a toe problem, Neville put his boots on and played in a full-scale game at the end of training in a makeshift three-man defence.
Having Neville around is helpful when it comes to making up the numbers but there is a lot more to it than that. Joleon Lescott said yesterday that the new England coach had – in jest – already warned him to "stay away from the chocolate cake" at lunch. Neville, it was pointed out, had looked a bit tired after the practice game. "He looked tired before it," was Lescott's reply.
The joshing is not as trivial as it may first appear. A successful tournament can rely so much on the mood of the camp. The atmosphere will be one thing now and when Wayne Rooney, John Terry, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole turn up after tomorrow's friendly against Norway in Oslo it will change again. In Neville, Hodgson has a bridge to the players that none of his predecessors enjoyed.
Lescott, who at 29 will be playing in his first tournament, is typical of those who may benefit from a new manager. "If coaches and staff feel the need to address you, they will but I think it's more natural for Gary to do that and he will feel closer to the players," he said.

Wow! Another Chiana hater! What is it about her that provokes such a strong reaction from some people? Does she remind people of their ex-girlfriends or something? I always thought she was a fun, exotic character, who added a great deal of spice to the proceedings. Full disclosure: I actually sold a story about Chiana to the official FARSCAPE magazine back in the day. I can't remember the plot, but it had something to do with her stealing a rare manuscript from a weird alien bookstore . . . . Trouble ensued.
That is one of the funniest episodes of the season, and highly arc-relevant too. Seriously, stop reading ahead. Don't. If you're going to talk yourself out of watching all the best episodes because you think you know what they'll be about (you don't), why even bother? "The Locket" is okay, but it's not nearly as good as the Princess trilogy or Won't Get Fooled. You really should just watch everything. If there's a *really* bad one, we'll warn you. Otherwise, assume they're at least okay. (Beware of Dog is skippable but not bad.)
<Sindatur picks up the book he loaned to kirk55555 and starts flipping through it> Hey, where's pages 5-20 and 99-124 and 178-196...
This thread is making me want to take out my farscape disks and start watching them, as I not watched the series.
Here is Won't get Fooled Again's synopsis from wikipedia It mentioned A Human Reaction, and the premise seems similar (except he seems to realise its fake immediately this thime). I didn't like A Human reaction, so it makes no sense to watch this one. I'll read a summary, like I did with A Human Reaction and the Princess trilogy to make sure I don't miss anything important to the overall plot. As for Beware of Dog, its a Chiana episode, so its an automatic skip.
I'm sorry, but I think it's absolutely foolish to rely on a synopsis to determine whether or not you would like an episode. A synopsis loses all sense of the show. A synopsis is literally the stuff that happened. There's no tone, there's no rhythm, there's no character. There's not STUFF that makes a show unique. A synopsis can turn ANYTHING into a boring thing. You even say it here, "for reasons I don't really understand" MAYBE if you watched the episode you just MIGHT. But, whatever... you claim you're enjoying the show... though, I don't know how when it seems like you're only watching 50% of it....
I'm a sometimes lurker on The Trek BBS, and this thread inspired me to finally sign up for an account. Hi kirk5555, I hope I don't come off as creepy given that this is my first post, and I promise I'm not trying to tell you that your opinions are wrong or force you to change your mind. Farscape happens to be my very favorite series, so forgive me if I sound a little too passionate here. I'm glad you're enjoying the show, but it doesn't sound like you're on the same wavelength in terms of sensibilities. Case in point: you pretty much hated "Crackers Don't Matter." Now, of course no single episode of any series is universally liked by every fan, but the general consensus is that CDM pretty much is Farscape in microcosm. It's hilarious, dark, campy, cracked out, and it takes a cliche TV sci-fi trope--in this case, crew goes space crazy--and executes it in a way that pushes way past anything you're likely to see on Star Trek (the twist on "Humans Are Superior!," D'Argo sadistically pinning Rygel down to stuff him full of crackers, John responding "I like the sound of that" when Head!Scorpius suggests keeping Chiana alive in order to rape her later, etc.) Underneath the comedy, there's a very real sense that it doesn't take much to push these people to the point of seriously hurting each other. It's not my absolute favorite episode, but I've probably seen it more times than any other, as it's the one I'll usually pop in if I'm in the mood for some Farscape but I'm not up to rewatching the whole series or even a particular arc. As for Chiana, well, personally I liked her well enough my first time through but didn't give her much thought, and it wasn't until further watches that I really came to appreciate the character. Your hatred is obviously just one of those gut reactions that can't be altered, so I won't even try to debate it, though I'd like to offer an alternate point of view. While I'd very much disagree that Chiana is totally useless, in the context of this particular show I don't see it as a bad thing at all that she's often more trouble than she's worth. This isn't the Enterprise D supposedly staffed with only the best of the best; we're dealing with a random, frequently incompetent group of desperate fugitives who often have no idea what the hell they're doing--and that's a big part of the fun! Chiana screws up, she behaves selfishly, she sometimes makes things worse, and she annoys the others, too. Early on, at least, they like her just enough not to toss her off Moya at the earliest opportunity. Still, even where you're at she's started to display some real growth. She made up for indirectly getting Aeryn stabbed by going to the Gammak base, she helped deliver Talyn, and twice she's risked her own welfare for Zhaan's sake. There's an arc here, though it's certainly your right to have no interest in it. Finally, as to "Won't Get Fooled Again" again versus "A Human Reaction," you may very well end up hating both, but they are extremely different episodes unless you see basic plot similarities as the only and final word in fiction. In terms of tone and style, they could hardly be further apart, and though they do share some thematic concerns, the series is in no way content to just repeat itself. "A Human Reaction" is important in terms of character development (which it sounds like you mostly skipped through) and later plot complications, but "Won't Get Fooled Again" is absolutely quintessential Farscape, running on all cylinders.
First of all, Crichton gradually losing his sanity is one of the major arcs this season. If you haven't picked up on that yet it's because you have been skipping too much. Second, WGFA is totally different than AHR. They aren't the same at all. AHR is played straight, mostly, while WGFA quickly descends into slapstick comedy and then continues even further into downright bizarre. Let me be clear: up until this point, Farscape has had a lot of standalone episodes. That diminishes significantly from now on. Most episodes will be arc-relevant and many will be arc-critical. Case in point: The Princess trilogy, and then WGFA, are in the first 4 episodes to feature a new race that becomes a major player in the series later on. You are completely missing their introduction because of a synopsis.
It took me a minute to remember which episode Won't Get Fooled Again, but now that I do I realize it is one of my favorite episode of the entire series. Seriously, don't skip it, it's a great episode, tons of fun, and if I remember correctly it does play a pretty big part in the arc of the show. You probably should be careful if you're going to be skipping episodes so much, you seem to be skipping some of the most important character and plot episodes. I don't remember the Princess trilogy that well, but I think it does play a pretty big role in the development of several of the characters, and their relationships. Plus it introduces one of the most important races in the later part of the show.
Urgh, I'm beginning to agree. Please stop missing episodes because of the synopsis, you're making me die a little on the inside.
Yeah, I mean, honestly... I can get skipping "Taking the Stone" and other Worst of Farscape episodes, but watching season two without the Princess trilogy and "Won't Get Fooled Again" is a bit like just not watching season two at all.
Here's the thing: a synopsis just gives you the bare bones of a plot, and plot is just one small part (and often not even the most important part) of any individual episode. Experiencing a good TV episode is about more than just finding out how the characters get from Point A to Point B: there's the atmosphere, the acting, the funny dialogue and bits of stage business, the visuals, the music, the pacing . . . all of which has more to do with determining whether an ep is worth watchng than just who did what where. Plots are a dime a dozen. The execution is what matters. Here's an example. "Boy fights dragon" is a plot, but that tells you nothing about what kind of story it is. Is it a lofty high fantasy saga? A gritty, sweaty barbarian adventure? A whimsical, pun-filled light fantasy? A snarky postmodern spoof of fairy tales? A religious allegory? A political satire? A synopsis is not the whole story.
I'm beginning to think we are all getting our legs pulled. Seriously. Kirk has bashed every highly rated, important episode, continually bashes a favourite character, and is now refusing to watch episodes important to the overall arc. It doesn't add up. Farscape might not be for everyone, and, ya, it has some bad episodes, but to blatantly disregard what the fans say, read synopsis instead of watching the episodes, and then skip important character and plot developments because you might not enjoy them, well, that's just bizarre. Too strange to be the truth. If, in fact, you are doing all these things for real, then, like others have said, just stop watching. For yourself, and for our sanity.
Nicely put. A big part of the appeal of FARSCAPE is that the characters aren't an orderly, disciplined crew that works well together. Hell, they can't even get around to agreeing on a captain . . . it's an anarchic group of runaways, refugees, and outcasts, which is half the fun.
How's a new watcher going to know which character is a fan favorite or which eps. are important? I remember getting a fan of the new Doctor Who series to some of the old show and he didn't like The Caves Of Androzani, a long time fan favorite storyline. Part of the problem with people see shows anymore is that they can pick and choose what eps. they want to see, even if the eps. in question are important.
I think he already knows these things and is having fun. I have a hard time believing that someone who clearly doesn't like what makes Farscape great would continue to watch it.
I'm not pulling anyone's leg, I give my honest opinions to everything I watch. I am a bit insulted at the insinuation that I'm just trolling farscape fans, but I understand that the internet has a lot of people like that, so its easy to get suspicious. All I can say is that I do not enjoy ticking people off, thats just not the kind of guy I am. I'm just a sci Fi fan who apparently has some opinions that don't agree with other fans. If you don't agree with me, you don't have to read my posts. Now, on to the stuff I watched today. The Locket (Farscape) - First off, I did skip the princess trilogy, Beware of Dog and won't get Fooled Again, and started again with this episode. Its an average, forgettable episode, I don't have much to say about it. The Ugly Truth (Farscape) - I really enjoyed this episode. The different tellings were entertaining. Well, except Zhaan's telling, which was a bit annoying. It seems like, once again, Talyn is just around to cause trouble, although their situation was probably more Moya's fault. I was surprised to see stark acting like he did, I thought he was more level headed than this episode showed. Overall, a very good episode. A Clockwork Nebari (Farscape) - This was not a good episode. It was very Chiana heavy, I didn't watch all of it.

Hi there,
Trying to figure out my power consumption of servers with respect of installing a new AC unit and potentially adding a battery pack on UPS. By no means do I consider myself an electrician so I would value your input.
I am basing my calculations of this article where in essense the formula is: Equipment BTU = Total wattage for all equipment x 3.5
Q: Is it safe to assume that if a server has dual power supply to double the wattage used?
After digging through some dell docs and random sites I gathered the following info and I am not sure if this is correct assumption:
1 Ton of cooling = 12K BTUs roughly needing a 2.6 Ton AC unit.
Does this sounds right? Your thoughts?
Granted I am not including the room size etc. but I just wanted to make sure that I am calculating the consumption of servers correctly. I have also read that these are just starting numbers and that number of disks in raid and memory sticks in server will draw more power...something as adding 10W per per disk/memory stick...is this true??
Thanks for your time!
No , you need to use the clamp over individual wires, not over a 3 or 4 wire bundle in a cord. Best to find the circuit at the breaker box, remove cover, and clamp on one of the circuit legs off the breaker. I would leave it connect for a day , monitor it for peak power consumption. You will need to get lighting power consumption figured into the total, and heat gain through wall/floor/ceiling/door.
Doesn't dual power supply equipment only require the power of one supply, so that if one fails, it will keep working normally?
Now if it's triple power supply, that could be the power of 2 of them, with the ability to only lose one.
Exactly ... they are typically for redundancy/failover, not for extra power. Larger servers with 3-4 power supplies do use 2-3 of them for total power load, with a failover. Some servers with dual power supplies will actually do load balancing, but not to exceed the wattage of a single power supply - simply to reduce the load on any one unit.
But they both are 'live' by simple fact that are powered no? Doesn't that imply they are using some power?Maybe adding 20% of 1 power supply and 100% of the other is fair usage?
Again, I am no electrical engineer but rather an admin and this is slightly out of my scope...or learning process at least to say.
Do you think that the formula in the article is good approach to calculating AC power?
I also read at this article that power consumption might go up depending on # of disks and memory. Is this true?
...that disk drives require about 10 watts and each GB of memory requires about 12 watts...
Thanks guys!
With varied equipment you have, the easiest method to get the total wattage use would be to use a clamp on ammeter (preferrably with a peak hold) on each circuit feeding the room, adding all the amperage draws of all the circuits, multiple this by the voltage, giving the total wattage of the room, not an Engineer, but I would add approx 25% to that for expansion/ambient building temperature changes/peak usage times.
I am running it all through an APC SmartUPS 3000XL with 2 additional battery packs....would it be an accurate measurement if I just inserted the ammeter between the UPS and wall plug? ...sort of just clamped it on the 1 power cored powering the UPS.
Thanks a bunch!
I strongly suggest you leave any current measuring to qualified electricians/electrical engineers. Do not open any service panels since there is exposed wiring capable of providing lethal currents and voltages.
The safest way is to determine what configuration of your dual power supplies are running in is to find the manual online or contact the service representative. Dual supplies typically are configured to run with only one providing the power or both providing half the power each but never double. The amount of power the "off' supply is probably less than 10%.
Get one of the meters from Megger. It uses hall effect sensors to allow it to give you a reading while clamping all of the wires in the cable.
Agree with engr00 the power at a breaker panel can be dangerous, so get either an electrician or the building engineer to get your readings if your a candidate for the Darwin Awards. Using the info from the manuals will not give you the peak wattage used nor will it give you an accurate average usage of the server room , as a meter which can do both peak and average will. The room may or may not have more then one circuit for all plugs, lighting will also be on a separate circuit form the plugs.

I am going to be receiving a pe2900 and wanted to find out what ampage it produces I have a 20 amp supply will it be ok to run on this supply?
I'd love this to be possible but I am not aware of any physics that might allow it. The magnetic fields of the live and neutral conductors mostly cancel, it does not matter whether you use AC coupled coil or a Hall sensor, you are still measuring, at best, a mostly canceled field depending on how close the conductors are. You might get some reading depending on the rotational position against the alignment of the 2 conductor centres axis but it will be 80-100% wrong.
Hall sensors are to allow the measurement of DC current using the magnetic field.

alright.. i'll finally answer the post subject.. no.. dancing does NOT lead to sex.. it just leads you to thinking about it sometimes .. when you're not looking.. PS. also, if it did.. I'd have died many times over by now, see
Perhaps I can chime in now on this one. I know just from dancing what I know to this point; it's a very sensual experience and one that if you aren't dancing with you spouse or significant other you have to really watch yourself or you can get carried away in a heartbeat. It's an expression of passion, desire, excitement, and happiness. I feel nearly every emotion possible when I dance and my partner does as well. We really get into the music, the expression, and we focus solely, 100% on each other to do the best that we can everytime we practice or take class. We have alot of fun with it too, we laugh and carry on to keep the mood light so we never lose sight of having fun at the same time. As far as guys who can dance getting all the babes and the sex, well who knows
Or you have died many times happy by now I think is what you meant to say lol! I would have that's for sure!
thats it DP.. just one answer.. didn't u know that i'm always serious and never fool around in such immense issues of human nature and development..?
Hahah, so true. So many people can only manage the raised eyebrows and upturned palms that say "dance with me before we have to speak!"
Well, if dancing leads to sex I'm going to do more of it. More often. *Sigh* I do recall a lot of drama around this subject at the studio where I taught, teachers and students included (never students and teachers together, though--they were very professional teachers). But it used to make me a nut sometimes. Hey, new idea for a soap opera, though!
can't believe I forgot about this thread until just now!!! wow! how could that possibly have happened?!?
but now, aren't there some situations where words would just be somewhat innappropriate and that simple, yet intense look and gesture would be the only manner of communication necessary or desired by either person?
You mean like pointing to each of you, then pointing to the dance floor? I guess I'm having a hard time imagining the gestures. Maybe a motion with an open palm toward the dance floor might be nice, especially if music is too loud to really hear anything.
There also comes a time where it's thought that dancers give "better sex". It's only something I hear, but it's some "theory" that I'd like to see in practice.
I guess it makes sense in a way--we're tuned in to movement, rhythm, and such. And I'd venture that we're more flexible than a lot of folks.
not exactly.... it's more body language combined w/ a certain look in the eyes that I was refferring to

Artist Lecture: Jennifer Hain Teper
Tue, Jun 24, 2014 starting at 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
UIUC librarian, professor to talk on collecting, conserving works of art
A University of Illinois conservation librarian will provide a gallery lecture for "Through the Decades," the exhibit now on display at the Giertz Gallery at Parkland College.
Jennifer Hain Teper, Velde Preservation Librarian and associate professor, University Library at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, will discuss "Preservation and Conservation Approaches for Historic Paper and Photograph Collections" Tuesday, June 24 at 1 p.m.
Her talk and the gallery exhibit are free and open to the public.
Teper has served as head of the University Library's conservation unit since 2001 and as head of preservation since 2009. She also served as a consultant on the university's Alma Mater statue conservation project. She teaches preservation- and conservation-related courses in the university's Graduate School of Library and Information Science and instructs at the Campbell Center for Historic Preservation.
A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, Teper holds an MLIS and Certificate of Advanced Study in the Conservation and Preservation of Library and Archival Materials.
In her presentation, Teper will first discuss common materials found in museum and personal collections and their preservation challenges. She then will provide tips for care of personal collections, including how to work with conservators for more advanced care and treatment. She encourages audience members to bring examples of their own preservation questions for discussion. Finally, if time allows, Teper will present a brief overview of the conservation of the Alma Mater, completed in April of this year.
Giertz Gallery Director Lisa Costello said the gallery is pleased to have Teper providing this lecture on conservation.
"This is an interesting subject; the practice of conservation has allowed many works of art to survive for future generations," she said.
"Through the Decades: Selected Student Artwork from the Permanent Collection" runs through July 24 at the Giertz Gallery at Parkland College

The scene in parts of Estes Park is surreal, with roads turned into gullies, streams flowing through homes and people in a state of loss and fear. ReachGlobal Crisis Response has completed an initial assessment of the flood impacts amidst our EFCA churches in Colorado. Churches in Estes Park, Boulder, Golden, Longmont, Greely, Crook, Ft. Collins, Loveland and other locations around the region are responding and addressing the needs in the church family and their neighbors. Hundreds of families in EFCA churches have been affected.
While the local EFC's respond, gospel influence is flowing. "You're the best kind of Christians. You practice what you preach", observed an Estes Park homeowner as volunteers from Rocky Mountain EFC removed water-logged carpet from her home. That's the heart of the leadership team at Rocky Mountain Church, demonstrating the love of Christ, while at the same time proclaiming the message of the gospel.
How can you get involved?
Give to the EFCA's Flood Response efforts to help with restoration for the hundreds of EFC families and their neighbors affected by the flooding. Intitial response funds have already been used to help with immediate needs in the church family, supply local government partners with needed clean-up supplies, address impacts to a local pastor's home and secure other immediate relief supplies. The EFCA Rocky Mountain leadership and local pastors have consistently stressed the significant financial needs they anticipate in their communities in the coming months as clean-up turns to rebuilding or relocation for impacted families.
Help! Send a team! ReachGlobal Crisis Response is working with the District and Rocky Mountain Church in defining the response plan for the coming months. If your church is interested in sending a short-term team, email email@example.com, not the church.
Pray for:
- the hundreds of gospel conversations that members of these EFC's are having with friends and neighbors;
- the staff at these churches who have been serving for long hours for the last week, serving their Body and community;
- the local response of the members of these churches being the hands and feet of Christ to their neighbors;
- for unity over the response in each church.
Read current updates on the ReachGlobal crisis response blog and watch a video about the needed response.

Well, you need some links to start with. And they need to target the IFRAME.
For the scrolling you could use JavaScript (scrollTo(), scrollBy()). It may or not work well since you are bound to use pixels. It's probably better to add an id to the iframe and then just let JavaScript change the location to that anchor. HTML Buttton  |

Thanks, pandy! I knew it might've taken some Java for this. I got it working with this small amount of code referenced from here.

I always forget about scrollIntoView(). Thanks for the reminder. Ppk says there are some problems with it on iPhone, but that could very well be remedied by now. I don't think it does anything that just changing the location to an anchor wouldn't. ppk doesn't seem to think so either.

When it comes to paying taxes, Dollywood and Splash Country in Sevier County pay more than any other tourist attraction in the state of Tennessee, a Dollywood spokesman said.
Dollywood draws between 2.4 and 2.5 million visitors annually while Splash Country attracts between 400,000 and 500,000 visitors annually, said Dollywood's public relations manager Pete Owens.
In comparison, a proposed Bible park for Rutherford County is expected to draw about 800,000 to 1 million visitors annually.
Rutherford County Mayor Ernest Burgess said if the Bible park locates in the county, the county will receive all of the local option sales tax from the attraction.
"Although it's yet to be determined, it's probable it could be in the county," Burgess said last week. After the basic services such as roads and water, Burgess doesn't believe the park will require many county services.
The impact of Dollywood and other tourist attractions in Sevier County, located near Knoxville in upper East Tennessee, shows the county collected $59 million in sales taxes in 2006, the County Technical Advisory Services reported. Sevier County's population is 80,000.
In comparison, Rutherford County with a population of 218,000 collected $8 million more or $67 million in sales taxes in 2006, CTAS reported.
Due to the unusually large sales tax collections for tourism, residents in Sevier County pay $1.34 per $100 of assessed value for property taxes while residents in Rutherford County pay $2.35, CTAS reported.
Status of the project
President Steve Benefield of the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce said developers of the proposed Bible park are determining the next steps. They plan to meet with the chamber and community leaders to "help us understand what's going to be required on our end."
The park will need roads, water and sewer at the site and a tourism zone approval by the state.
If constructed in the county, the park is expected to bring visitors from the U.S. and all over the world who will generate sales tax revenues at the park, hotels and motels and related business owners.
"I think at the end of the day we have to consider all potential avenues in order to make this project viable for the community and for the investment company that's going to be owning it," Benefield said.
Leaders of the state, county and chamber must weigh if the potential revenues from a park will balance the incentives needed.
"For example, if the industrial board does have to consider an incentive for this operation, it will be up to the county leadership to document the exact return on investments that can be returned to the community," Benefield explained.
Exact numbers are being detailed now and will be presented to leaders within a few weeks to make a decision.
Benefield has received extremely positive comments from the business community whose members believe they will benefit from a theme park project.
"The biggest thing we have to do is gather information for a final presentation," Benefield said.

Elven language
this wiki
A differentiating factor between Elvish and other languages in Thedas--particularly as regards aspects like names--is the avoidance of hard consonants.[2]
It has been observed that "Elven is often a game of intents, not direct mapping of phonetic meaning. That means it's a mess" and that it tends "to meander".[3]
Written Elvish Edit
Though a number of ancient sites, including the Temple of Mythal, have recently been found to contain examples of Elvish writing, these are few and far between, and jealously guarded by the Dalish. Some Circles have also come to possess old elven texts.[4] Currently, clan Keepers are generally the only ones who know the secret of writing Elvish.[5]

Deconstructing Elvish Edit
Many words of Elvish are made up of contractions of smaller words. For instance, "Arlathan" means, "this place that I love". Deconstructing it, we arrive at Ar: I or me; Lath: love; and An: place. We know that this is correct, because: "lath" is used later in the eulogy poem to mean "love"; "an" is seen as a suffix in the word "Elvhenan", meaning "the place of our people", which is a direct extension of "Elvhen", meaning "our people". By elimination, "Ar" becomes the personal pronoun. In the same way, many other words can be deconstructed into their individual components.
While "ar" exists as a personal pronoun, oftentimes in a sentence, that pronoun is dropped. For example, "Ir abelas," can translate to "I am filled with sorrow for your loss," or, more colloquially, "I'm very sorry," with "ir" meaning "I" and "abelas" meaning "sorrow." So the predicate itself is enough to imply that "I" am the one who is expressing the sorrow.
Examples Edit
- "Mamae? Mamae na mara san...": The panicked phrases of a lost child. It is known that "mamae" means "mother", and "na" is "your", but "Mara" and "san" are a different matter. "Ma" (you) and "ar" (i, me) don't offer any clues. "San" looks like a contraction of "sa" and "an", so, one place. Since the boy seems to be in a panic, and it is clear that he's looking for her, it's reasonable to assume that this is the gist of his statement, as well. So, "Mother your [mara] one place...", so "mara" can be parsed as "i can't find" or "where is". A reasonable translation would be, "Mama, I can't find you..." or "Mama, where is the place..."
- "Amae lethalas": The elven guardian spirit's response to the Inquisitor saying Fen'Harel's secret greeting correctly. "Amae" could be a dirivitive of "mamae", which means mother, making "amae" translate to something like parent, guardian, or watcher. "Leth" has no direct translation, although it is known for its use in the phrases "lathallin"/"lethallan", a term used to refer to someone that the speaker is familiar with. Thus, "leth" may be translated into known, familiar, or regular. "Alas" has a clear translation of dirt or earth, therefore "lethalas" could mean something akin to 'familiar place' or 'known area'. Furthermore, "amae lethalas" could mean 'parent/guardian of [this] known place' or 'parent/guardian of [our] familiar area'. If the elven guardian was speaking of itself, the translation might be exaggerated to '[I am] the parent/guardian of [this] familiar place'.
- "Viran se lan'aan? Ir annala for ros... Nae! Ga rahn s'dael! Ga rahn! Ir emah'la shal! Ir emah'la shal!": These sentences are spoken by the ghostly elven mother in the crypt where you get the Juggernaut armour. A possible translation: "How did you people find the path to this place? This place has been lost for centuries. No! Get away from our tree! Get away! You are desecrating my grave! You are desecrating my grave!"
- "Viran se lan'aan?": "Vir" and "an" mean "the path" and "this place", respectively, so "the path to this place". If "se" is assumed to be a pronoun (since "lan'aan" is a bit long for that), then, going off of "sa" as "one" and "-en" as a plural, one could extrapolate "se" as possibly a plural "you". In that case, since it is a question, it can be assumed that she is asking "How did you people find the path to this place?", since that is a reasonable thing to be asking. Then, "lan'aan" would mean "how to find".
- "Nae! Ga rahn s'dael! Ga rahn!": This is a very difficult part, because there's so little to go on. "Nae" might be "no", but "na" means "your". There is no precedent for "ga rahn", but "s'dael" could be broken down as: "sa" - one; "adahl" - tree; and "el" - our. Taking that on faith, the sentence might read something like, "No! Get away from our tree! Get away!"
- "Ir annala for ros...": "Ir" means "very", and "annar" means "years", so it is reasonable to assume that "annala" has to do with a measurement of time in years. Perhaps it means "centuries". So, it begins with "A very many years or centuries", and then "for ros" has no precedent. Taking it together with the last line, it is highly probable that it means "This place has been lost for very many centuries."
- "Ir emah'la shal!": "ir" (very). Deconstructing "emah'la": "emma" (my); "alas" (dirt, earth); "halam" (ending); "shiral" (journey) - all of these words contain elements similar to this compound word. It could possibly mean "the ground of my end", or, more loosely, "my grave". So, "My grave is very..." something. Perhaps "shal" means sacred, or desecrated. So, loosely, "You are desecrating my grave!"
- "Ir tel'him": "Him" means "become" or "transform," and "tel" seems to be often used to negate the verb/noun that follows - for example, tel'abelas translates into "I'm not sorry." So, here, "tel'him" could mean, "not changing/transforming." "Ir" usually means "very" or "more," but, in this case, it can be indirectly translated as "any more." So, put together, "ir tel'him" could translate into, "I'm not changing/transforming anymore," which would be another way of saying, "I'm me again."
- "Dar'Misu; Dar'Misaan": "Dar" means "to be", and they both have "mi" in common, so it is possible that "mi" is "blade", and "su" means "happen", and "u" means "alone". So, "dar'misu" could translate, roughly, to "this blade acts alone" or "this blade happens". "Sa" is "one" and "an" is "place". A possible translation: Dar'Misu: "to be a blade that acts alone" - daggers being the weapon of choice for rogues; Dar'Misaan: "to be a blade of one place" - long swords being the weapon of choice for a sword-and-shield defender.
- "Dirth ma, harellan. Ma banal enasalin. Mar solas ena mar din.": "Dirth" relates to knowledge,truth, and secrets and "ma" is used for both first person singulars and possessives so "Dirth ma" could mean "my truth" or "I know" with "harellan" translating to trickster or traitor. "Harellan" may be being used here as an epithet, given the subject. "Ma" is again you or I, "banal" is a negative so no, none, nothing, etc., and "enasalin" is victory so "Ma banal enasalin" is probably something like "You will not have victory" or, colloquially, "You will lose." The final sentence, uses "mar", similar to "ma", "solas" or pride, "ena" like "to lead to" or "will lead to", and "din" meaning death. Therefore, the whole thing should be something like "I know you, Traitor. You will fail. Your pride will lead to your death."
Notes Edit
- The elven language as used in the games is actually a cipher.[100]

I spent a good part of yesterday getting caught up with Veep. That show is getting better and better. I think I'm still 2 or 3 episodes behind with Girls but I'm really surprised to hear that Adam is more likable now.
I spent a good part of yesterday getting caught up with Veep. That show is getting better and better. I think I'm still 2 or 3 episodes behind with Girls but I'm really surprised to hear that Adam is more likable now.
Total girl moment:
Got a message last night from an acquaintance I've known for years saying that he might be in the area come October. He's a hot firefighter.
Hm, whatever happened to our resident board firefighter/drunk, John from Austin?
^ My boyfriend thinks the show is dumb, but he still gets roped into watching it with me and even laughs from time to time.
Robin, woohoo! I don't really know much about your status, are you single? Or is this more of a platonic visit with a guy who's easy on the eyes?
Both. Actually, he'll be visiting his sister, and decided to throw me in the itinerary. I've known this guy for probably around 10 years.
However, if he tried to woo me, I probably wouldn't stop him.
I sure hope he doesn't find out that I posted this pic of him.
I demand pictures next time.
My boyfriend really likes watching and he likes teasing me saying he is going to act like Adam in bed... just to see me squirm. Its funny because when I first saw the previews for the show, I was sold. I would ask if he was gonna watch it with me and he would say " Uh, I think you are on your own with that" then out of now where he sent me text saying he wants to watch it with me. He loves the fact that not all the girls/guys are perfect in every way. Its just a fun show.
That's cute. My boyfriend watches other girly shows with me and I think eventually if I keep watching Girls he'll get into it by default. Did you know that there's a backlash because all of the lead characters are white? People are saying that show should represent NY's culture of educated 20-somethings in a more diverse way.
Today was my medical adventure day. I've been in and out of doctors offices and labs from 9:45 this morning until just before 3. I think I'll be lazy the rest of the day and watch some Girls on HBO
Interview with creator/writer that talks about that: http://www.npr.org/2012/05/07/152183...aimed-at-girls
Lena Dunham is very intelligent and amazing. I feel like most EVERYTHING gets racial backlash.. such as The Hunger Games... and many other things. People love to bitch and will bitch about anything. If someone is writing a Biography are you gonna get mad cause that person didn't have any black/hispanic/asian/mixed friends. After awhile it just seems absurd.
So yesterday I was told that I am not approachable at work. I am having a hard time with this, because I think I am REALLY helpful and knowledgeable in my position. I am having a hard time figuring out how to change this perception, if it is in fact true. I know you guys don't know me really, so I guess I am just venting... but it kept me up all night thinking about how I come across to people. I am kinda bummed out today.
I used to get that. Found out it was because I look young, and people assumed that I didn't have much experience. It was hard to "win the hearts" of fellow employees, and took a lot of time. I think the best move I made was just initiating small conversations with coworkers so they would get to know me better and feel more comfortable around me.
I am looking for some Las Vegas advice. I will be in Vegas June 30th - July 3rd for a bachelorette party. What would you ladies suggest we do? Club, restaurant, tour recommendations would be HUGELY appreciated.
Find time to hit one of the great rooftop pools, they have swim up bars, I have been to the one at the flamingo which was cool, but I know there are much better ones. Ceasers even has a blackjack table in the pool if that is your thing. I am not as familiar with clubs there.
Yeah that was what I thought it was, but I have been here about 2 years now. Another comment that she made was "I don't look the part". I am within the employee handbook dress code every single day, but I don't wear makeup to work and she thinks that hurts me. I am having a tough time "giving in" by wearing make up too. I don't think that is fair whatsoever. I know it seems petty, but I did make up for 2 years, the last thing I want to do is wear it every day.
The Asian in me wants to recommend going to the casino.
I read this article about a month ago. I thought it was really interesting.
Thank you for that, Robin. Very interesting... I am still struggling with it, do I want to "give in" and wear make up so that people view me differently, or do I want to be stubborn and make a point (even if only to myself). Is this something that most girls go through?
That's weird. I've almost never worn makeup to work and never have issues with the way people treat me or perceive me.
I will say that when I don't dress like a teenage boy they do view me differently though. NOT my coworkers, but people I encounter on my way to work or out and about near work. I've started trying to wear dress like a "business woman" when I'm not in SF...
And maybe that is something that I need to reflect on. I usually wear slacks or dressy jeans with a blouse. Maybe I should dress up more. I am just really sad about all of this. I know it seems petty, but it's the first time I have encountered something like this.
Now, when I start at a new job, I usually wear light make up and dress in a button down and nice slacks. Once the employees get to know me and know what I'm capable of, I slowly start to cut back on that. At my last job, by the end of my employment, I was walking in with jeans and tshirts pretty much every day. No makeup. I wouldn't even blowdry my hair.
My girlfriend was involved in a 5-day bachelorette party last year. Her biggest bit of discovery was finding good package deals. They went to Thunder Down Under and got a package that ended up including dinner, drinks, a limo, and vip access to whatever club was in that hotel for something like $130/person or something. they got a similar package with a cirque du soleil show. They also rented a villa or whatever they're called at the MGM pool for a day or too and she said it was awesome having a homebase to just lounge about all day.

Enluv, I'm sorry! It sucks to have someone tell you that you're unapproachable or need to change, because a workplace shouldn't work that way. However, it's like Robin said, the way you present yourself at work can make a big difference in your career.

West Michigan Whitecaps� pitcher Jonathon Crawford has been named the starting pitcher for the Eastern Division team at the 2014 Midwest League All-Star Classic, manager Andrew Graham announced on Saturday.
Crawford is one of seven Whitecaps that will represent the host city at the 50th annual Midwest League All-Star Classic on Tuesday at Fifth Third Ballpark. Gates will open at 4:00 p.m. prior to the 7:00 p.m. ballgame with pre-game promotions including batting practice, an autograph session with both teams and the Pepsi �Lost Art of Bunting� Contest.
As the host team, the West Michigan field staff has the privilege of running the Eastern Division team, giving Graham the opportunity to pick his starting pitcher. The selection of Crawford came as no surprise given the stellar season being put forth by the Detroit Tigers� first-round pick in the 2013 draft.
The 22-year-old right-hander from Florida is 3-2 with a 2.58 ERA and 48 strikeouts in 59.1 innings. He has limited opposing hitters to a�.217 batting average and ranks fifth in the league in ERA. Since a rocky Midwest League debut on April 4, Crawford has allowed two runs or less in nine of his last 10 outings and posted a 1.58 ERA over that time.
The Whitecaps� seven All-Stars are the most of any team in the Midwest League. Crawford will be joined by fellow starting pitchers Austin Kubitza, Buck Farmer, and Chad Green, reliever Joe Mantiply, second baseman Javier Betancourt and outfielder Wynton Bernard.
Kyle Finnegan of the Beloit Snappers has been named the starting pitcher for the Western Division squad by their manager, Omar Lopez of the Quad Cities River Bandits. Finnegan is 5-4 with a 2.85 ERA in 13 starts and ranks among the league leaders with 75.2 innings pitched (2nd) and a 2.85 ERA (9th).

About the poet
Born in Birmingham in 1950, Sheenagh Pugh lived in Wales for many years before moving to...
Times Like Places
Times Like Places
There are times like places: there is weather
the shape of moments. Dark afternoons
by a fire are Craster in the rain
and a pub they happened on, unlooked-for
and welcoming, while a North Sea gale
spat spume at the rattling windows.
And most August middays can take him
to the village in Sachsen-Anhalt,
its windows shuttered against the sun,
and a hen sleeping in the dusty road,
the day they picked cherries in a garden
so quiet, they could hear each other breathe.
Nor can he ever be on a ferry,
looking back at a boat's wake, and not think
of the still, glassy morning off the Hook,
when it dawned on him they didn't talk
in sentences any more: didn't need to,
each knowing what the other would say.
The worst was Aberdeen, when they walked
the length of Union Street not speaking,
choking up, glancing sideways at each other,
but never at the same time. Black cats
and windy bridges bring it all back,
eyes stinging. Yet even this memory
is dear to him, now that no place or weather.
or time of day can happen to them both.
On clear winter nights, he scans the sky
for Orion's three-starred belt, remembering
whose arms warmed him, the cold night
he first saw it; who told him its name.

LOS ANGELES When the dress code on the invitation calls for "rich," that tells you something about what to expect from a party. And for Cash Money Records' pre-Grammy party at the Lot on Saturday night, "rich" described so much more than guests' flashy designer gear. Colin Cowie—weeks off his stint producing the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas's over-the-top New Year's Eve bash—produced the party under the hands-on direction of Bryan "Birdman a.k.a. Baby" Williams and Ronald "Slim" Williams, co-C.E.O.s of Cash Money Records.
The Cowie team described Baby and Slim as eager collaborators interested in bringing the most creativity to their events, "looking for ideas you won't see in other parties." And as to their budget? "That was very rich, too," said Colin Cowie's David Berke.
For about 400 artists, label execs, and industry guests including Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj, Cowie's team transformed the space into a bank-vault-inspired setting, a look Cowie's Michael Gerloff called "over-the-top, indulgent bank glamour." Guests entered the space through a full-scale, three-dimensional bank vault door, just inside which bustier-clad models parted gold beaded curtains. "That's where the party begins, and that's where the fun begins," Gerloff said.
He explained that the design inspiration began with the movie Catch Me If You Can, and evolved into a more modern version of a bank theme. "They wanted to create the Cash Money Records bank, so we thought of what's most identifiable with old banks—tables, teller windows," and then brought in those authentic props. Teller windows served shots instead of accepting deposits. Among the standout decor features were a gold arrivals carpet; a cluster of black and gold chandeliers for a baroque look; gold dollar signs, alongside pavé-style green button mums festooned with rhinestone pins for a Chanel-evocative look; and underlit milk-white plexi tables, topped with clear vitrine, and filled with gold coins. On either side of the gold, holographic-look dance floor were two elevated sections, where custom upholstered gold quilted beds bore Cash Money monograms—and money-bag-style throw pillows.
The dramatic backdrop was a 40- by 100-foot wall of projections by Bart Kresa, showing Cash Money and Young Money logo art, with about eight different layered effects in all, that changed and moved over the course of the night. The completely interactive experience—which had components like speakers that vibrated to the sounds of the music—looked like a wall of living art.
Global Cuisine by Gary Arabia's unique approach to dinner was a bistro-style space right on the sound stage: Guests arrived in the area as they would to a restaurant, were seated by hostesses, and placed their orders from a preset menu. Dishes including slow-braised short ribs with truffled mashed potatoes; miso-glazed sea bass on a bed of baby bok choy; lobster Cobb salad; Kurobuta pork chop with carmelized fuji apple cognac glaze and sweet potato mousse; and Mediterranean roasted jidori chicken with Israeli couscous.
This event was the third event where Cowie's group partnered with Cash Money. Others included Cash Money's pre-Grammy party two years ago, as well as Lil Wayne's welcome-home-from-jail party in Miami this past November. "The ideas are fresh," said Gerloff. "They want to keep building on what we've been creating with them."
