ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The Pentagon chief said Tuesday building U.S. maritime strength across the Asia-Pacific region will be one of the main projects for the new generation of America's naval officers.
Speaking to graduates at the U.S. Naval Academy, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the U.S. is returning to its maritime roots.
"One of the key projects that your generation will have to face is sustaining and enhancing American strength across the great maritime region of the Pacific," he said.
He told graduates that their work will help strengthen defense ties with China, modernize ties with old allies like Japan and Korea and build new partnerships with countries like Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore.
"America's future prosperity and security are tied to our ability to advance peace and security along the arc extending from the Western Pacific and East Asia into the Indian Ocean and South Asia," Panetta said. "That reality is inescapable for our country and for our military, which has already begun broadening and deepening our engagement throughout the Asia Pacific."
Panetta said the Navy and Marine Corps must lead a resurgence of American maritime presence and power in the Asia-Pacific region and around the world.
"We must be prepared to confront any challenge, but the key to that region is going to be to develop a new era of defense cooperation between our countries, one in which our military shares security burdens in order to advance peace in Asia Pacific and around the world," Panetta said.
Panetta also said the military will protect its investments in cybersecurity, unmanned systems and special operation forces.
"We will ensure our military can confront aggression and defeat any opponent anytime, anywhere," Panetta said.
The Pentagon chief said he departs on Wednesday for Southeast Asia, and he noted he will visit China later this year for the first time as secretary of defense.
"I will tell all of these nations that the United States will remain a Pacific power, and I will tell them why - because of you - because during your careers many of you will be headed to the Pacific," he said.
There were a total of 1,099 graduates, including 877 men and 222 women. A total of 810 were commissioned as naval officers, including 634 men and 176 women. There were 267 commissioned as officers in the Marine Corps, including 224 men and 43 women. Several graduated as officers in the Air Force and Coast Guard.
Panetta also noted the death last week of retired Lt. Cmdr. Wesley Brown, the first African-American to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1949. He was 85.
The defense secretary cited the academy's diversity, and he noted that some students are gay. This was the first graduating class at the service academy in which gay students could be open about their sexuality after repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy in September.
"You are men and women from every state in the union and 12 foreign nations - rich and poor, secular and religious, black, white, Latino, Native American, Asian, straight and gay. Diversity of this class is a tribute to the life and service of retired Lt. Cmdr. Wesley Brown," Panetta said, bringing cheers and applause from the audience.

The one thing Giancarlo Stanton knew for sure was Rafael Soriano was not going to throw a strike. Ahead in the count 1-2, Soriano threw a chase pitch. Stanton chased it and crushed it.
With the Marlins down a run in the ninth Saturday, Stanton barreled Soriano's offering to tie it. The following inning, Steve Cishek negotiated a tenuous situation with back-to-back strikeouts of Scott Hairston and Ryan Zimmerman, and Ed Lucas delivered a walk-off fielder's choice to give the Marlins a 2-1, series-clinching win.
The sequence that catapulted the Marlins to their 14th victory in their last 20 home games began with third baseman Chad Tracy throwing away an Adeiny Hechavarria grounder for a two-base error. With the bases loaded and one out, Lucas grounded a Craig Stammen pitch to second and just beat Ian Desmond's pivot throw.
"That's a double play in April, right?" manager Mike Redmond said. "It's a testament to [Lucas] getting out of the box and knowing the situation that he had to beat that play. Not that he was trying to hit it to second, but that's the place to hit it. That's the longest place to turn a double play. It worked for us today."
So did Stanton's power, which resulted in Soriano's fourth blown save in 28 opportunities. Hitless in three career at-bats off Soriano with two strikeouts, Stanton said he wasn't thinking home run.
"I got my hands to it," Stanton said. "That's the thing if the ball is up and you get your hands to it then it's going to go if you get on top of it…I figured he wasn't going to throw a strike, which that wasn't. I saw a fastball and reacted to it."
Cishek reacted with a fist pump when he struck out Zimmerman on three pitches to end the top of the 10th with men on second and third. Tracy, who led off with a pinch-hit single and replaced Zimmerman in the field in the bottom half, reached third on a Cishek wild pitch.
Hairston entered for Bryce Harper after he was ejected in the eighth for arguing balls and strikes and swung through a 2-2 sinker on the eighth pitch of the at-bat. Zimmerman chased a 0-2 slider out of the zone.
"I just wasn't making pitches," Cishek said. "I didn't throw a single slider where I wanted to until I faced Zimmerman for some reason…It was weird. I felt the same."
The lone run of the game before Stanton's homer came on what should have been Marcell Ozuna's ninth assist. Harper bolted from third on Jayson Werth's fly ball in the fourth. The one-hop throw arrived well before Harper, but catcher Jeff Mathis could not secure the ball. Unaware the ball was not in Mathis' possession, Harper steamrolled him anyway.
Harper should have been eliminated from the basepaths earlier in the inning. On first after drawing an inning-opening walk, one of three Jose Fernandez issued, Harper took a wide turn around second on Adam LaRoche's base hit to left.
Stuck between second and third when Justin Ruggiano fielded the ball, Harper watched the throw come in behind him and bolted for third. Ruggiano made a poor delivery to second baseman Derek Dietrich, who couldn't dig out the ball and get it to third.
All but seven of Fernandez's 18 starts have been quality (six or more innings, three earned runs or fewer). He's gotten either a no-decision or a loss in six of those. All four of the Nationals' hits off him were singles.
Fernandez became the fourth pitcher in Marlins' history with a club record five consecutive starts allowing four hits or fewer while completing five or more innings. The others: Josh Johnson (April 1-24, 2011), Chuck Smith (Sept. 10, 2000-May 6, 2001) and Al Leiter (May 11-June 1, 1996).
"You look at the box score and you wouldn't say that was a grind, but he had to really work to execute his pitches and they did a nice job laying off and battling him," Redmond said. "He got a little excited out there. It shows he's still 20 years old and still learning and growing in the big leagues, but he's a competitor."
Added Fernandez: "I came out of my game a little bit. I tried to keep the team in the game and look what happened."
Fernandez wasted no time in joining Josh Beckett as the only rookies in Marlins' history to record their first 100 strikeouts inside of their first 100 innings pitched. After walking Denard Span to open the game, Fernandez got Ian Desmond to swing through a breaking ball for strike three. That gave him 99 innings pitched at 100 strikeouts.
Beckett struck out 24 batters in 24 innings in 2001. He still had rookie status the following season, when his 100th strikeout came at the 96 1/3-inning mark of his career.
Though Dan Haren entered the game having lost 10 of 14 decisions, including seven in a row, with a 6.00 ERA, the Marlins could not solve him. He held them to three singles (two by Mathis) over six shutout innings. Haren hadn't put up that many zeros since his last shutout on May 24, 2012 as a member of the Angels against the Mariners.
The Marlins went hitless in three at-bats with runners in scoring position off Haren, who walked one and struck out seven.
Haren joined a not so exclusive group of 11 starters who have blanked the Marlins over six or more this season. Teammates Stephen Strasburg (April 1) and Gio Gonzalez (April 3) are members of that cadre as well.

Had my Tom Claytor mosquito hammock out yesterday to take some measurements to make new folding lightweight bug mesh spreader bars from aluminium arrow shafts.(Will put them on the DIY section and I get it done)
I think the Claytor hammocks do not get all the praise they deserve other than being a bit heavy(but this goes with being very robust) The hammock & Tarp will cost you 150.00 delivered a great hammock at a good price for anyone where weight is not the absolute top priority.
I have been doing some upgrade since joining the forum, replaced the horrible original suspension with amsteel loops and whoopie slings I use trees traps and carabiners with whoopie slings. Claytor snakeskins I admit they are overpriced but fit extremely well and are less trouble to use than the Hennessy snakeskins on my other hammock also added bungee cord internal ridge line to support the mesh and give me more stay space hang things out of my way.
Added an eyelet to the original hammock bag can now stuff the hammock in its snakeskins into the bag without folding the hammock up.(Much quicker and it keeps things off the ground. Separated the original tarp into its own bag added snakeskins to it for fast deployment.(thanks Shug!) This has helped with the weight I only need to carry the Tarp when necessary. We get six months a year where it almost guaranteed not to rain! So it's pretty safe not to take your tarp during the cool weather in this part of the world.
I use 4m of 3 mm bungee cord with key carabiners on the end as my ridge line to support the bug mesh snap them into the biners on the tree straps this can be deployed in about 30 seconds and flexes with the hammock when you get into it very convenient set up.
Lying in my Claytor hammock yesterday reminded me of just how good it is! Forgiving in how you set it up very little shoulder squeeze almost no calf ridge or knee hyperextension from me in this hammock. Certainly is going to get plenty of use in the future if I can get my wife out of it is her fav particularly on my kayak trips where weight is not such a consideration.
A few shots of my set up attached feel free to ask me questions.

I went to the last Saturday farmer's market last weekend. It is tragic to think that this coming Saturday, my bags and I will not be going to the market. I won't be able to flirt with cute farm boys, I will no longer have the anticipation of which vegetable will finally be ready harvest, and I will no longer be able to buy the tasty Cauliflower Pakoras made by the friendly woman who makes kitchari and chutney and all sorts of delightful Indian entrees.
The upside?
I made out like a bandit and got some great deals from farmers looking to get rid of the last of their harvest.
I purchased some beautiful celery roots, jerusalem artichokes, turnips, beets, parsnips, and kohlrabi, among other things. I had a lot of cooking to do this weekend - and that I did. But my fridge is still bursting, and I needed to use up some veggies. I wanted to use up my celery roots and make a small dent in the stash of jerusalem artichokes in my crisper. So, a quick soup was needed.
The result? A creamy, dreamy puree of two of the most unattractive members of the vegetable kingdom, the celery root and the jerusalem artichoke. Knobby and gnarled, they both are far too often ignored in American cuisine! The French use celery root, or celeriac, frequently in cooking, and have lots of tasty recipes for it. It tastes like celery, but more mellow and starchy and delicious. Perfect for a pureed soup. The jerusalem artichoke, also known as the sunchoke, is the tuber from a variety of sunflower. It is starchy and tastes a lot like a potato, and lends itself well as a potato substitue. Jerusalem artichokes make great 'home fries' if you roast them, or can be shredded and made like hash browns. Or, eat them raw, grated on a salad. Paired with celery root, it makes this soup tasty and creamy as can be. Quick and easy, this recipe makes a ton in a very short amount of time.
Celery Root and Jerusalem Artichoke Soup
2 celery roots (a.k.a. celeriac), diced
5-6 jerusalem artichokes, about 2 cups diced OR 1-2 potatoes
3 medium carrots, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
1 T thyme
1/2 t red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
2 T olive oil/butter combination
7-8 c broth
optional: splash rice/soy/hemp/nut milk
In heavy bottomed soup kettle, heat oil/butter over low heat. Add onions, and saute for 5 minutes. Add garlic and celery, saute for 2 more minutes. Add carrots, saute for 2 minutes. Add chopped celery root, jerusalem artichokes, bay leaf, and broth, and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, and simmer until vegetables are soft.
Remove from heat, and using a blender, food processer, or immersion blender, puree soup until smooth and creamy. If desired, add a splash of your preferred milk substitute to add to the creaminess. Add thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste, and puree again to mix and make smooth.
Serve warm with anything!

CTltd necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 153 diseños de 45 diseñadores freelance.
To combat the recession in the UK a group of Internet Solution companies have agreed to work in partnership. The partnership is called 'Consorteum' with the 'e' emphasising the sector they work in. A modern logo is needed.
Times are getting tough and instead of fighting over work, a group of companies, who offer a broad range of Internet services from architecture to hosting, have joined forces and formed a partnership called 'Consorteum'. A new web site is being created but initially a logo design is required.
Ideally the logo and strapline needs to capture the spirit of the partnership - i.e. individual groups of talented people coming together to work as one. We know the name is a bit tacky and using the 'e' of Consorteum to emphasis our sector is a bit old school, but it does sum up what we are doing, i.e. Internet solutions providers working together to form a consortium. Therefore, it would be good if we could do something with the 'e' but it would be nice if it was subtle NOT any play on internet explorer etc.
The working strapline at the moment is: Connecting experts when it matters. This might change but you can use it for positional purposes.
We don't have any colour preferences at the moment but the logo does need to work B/W.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi all, from the entries so far I think I might have not communicated our requirement clearly enough in the brief. I apologise for this. Ideally we want a logo that subtly highlights the 'e' but does not use it as an icon to support the brand name or make it too obvious it dominates the brand name. If any icons or images are used to support the name then I believe something resembling the coming together of people (i.e. the experts) could be interesting. It needs to look modern, with a nice font and work well on a web page. A number of the entries have been very deep (portrait) which would not work well for our purposes.
Please ask any questions if you have the
- modern
- clean
- subtle emphasis of the 'e' in Consorteum to communicate our sector
- simple and eye catching
- complicated
- IE style use of the 'e' - i.e. too tacky

Dead time in the NFL calendar. Which means it is a great time to purchase the Football Outsiders Almanac. [You can purchase of the PDF version now and the book form very soon. I've read the PDF, but I like having the book copy]
Reading the FOA is a bit like getting corrective eye surgery after a lifetime of glasses. What you've always seen looks a bit different. When you watch football, you just will have a few extra things that you might notice.
Texans fans have the good fortune of Rivers McCown (@fo_riversmccown) writing the AFC South portion of the book. As you may know, Rivers is a Texans fan who watches the team closer than what is advisable, and its nice to see him combining that point of view with the FOAs numbers.
Q: Last year, Football Outsiders predicted for the first time the Texans to win the AFC South, even with a healthy Peyton Manning. This year, it predicts the same thing with no Peyton Manning in the AFC South but not in a dominating way that some fans expect. Please explain the way the FO info sees the AFC South shaking out.
A: "We see the AFC South shaking out as a division that is imminently winnable, but with the Texans having the best chance to grab it. To put it simply: they are the least-flawed team in a lot of flawed teams. We see Tennessee as having a chance to make some noise, but our numbers are skeptical about their defense. The numbers are, of course, skeptical about the Texans' defense as well, but that is simply because a regression-based system is going to look at an effectiveness jump that big and be inherently doubtful it lasts. I don't think that, subjectively, there is as much concern about Houston's defense. We are projecting Houston with 8.8 wins, Tennessee with 7.5, and the other two teams under seven."
Q: Last year was a particularly odd way for the Texans to finally get their playoff year with injuries to key players, finally getting an experienced defensive coordinator, the weird lockout out-season. Does that complicate projections at all?
A: "Not really. The injuries were a big deal, of course, but the Texans were not inordinately lucky or unlucky at any one position outside of losing Matt Schaub for the season (and the relative rarity of that) and the good overall health of their defensive backs. Normally when we change a projection due to injuries, it'll be because a team falls on one side or the other of the Adjusted Games Lost spectrum. The Texans finished as the 11th healthiest team despite the misfortune that befell Schaub, Mario Williams, and Andre Johnson. Of course, you could argue that those specific injuries were more devastating than normal ones — and I wouldn't disagree with that. It's just not something that a statistical model is built to pick up on.
Phillips complicates projections in so much as the massive defensive improvement makes the system think Houston will regress, but there isn't anything specific to him that the system dislikes. And every team had to deal with the lockout chaff, so there were no real adjustments in the projections because of that."
Q: Last year the defensive question was whether Mario Williams could transition to the 3-4. This year the story of the defense is how do the Texans deal with the exit of Mario and DeMeco Ryans? Thoughts?
A: "I think Houston is in excellent shape to absorb the losses. Between Whitney Mercilus, Brooks Reed, and Connor Barwin, the Texans have plenty of options to man the "endbacker" position. Mario Williams is invariably more talented than any of those options, but it's not like the Texans had a lot of production from him last year to replace: just five sacks in five games.
As for Ryans, I believe this is a situation where the Texans thought it smart to give up on a player a year too soon rather than a year too late. I wouldn't be completely surprised if Ryans has a bounceback season in Philadelphia just because I know the kind of worker he is, but replacing his production last year, where he was little more than a two-down linebacker that had lost a step? I don't think Houston has too much to be concerned about here. These are big names, and it hurts when big names move on because they have invariably produced well historically, but there wasn't much irreplaceable production from those two last season."
Q: Some suggest that the second year of Wade Phillips means the Texans defense in his year 2 will collapse. What does your Football Outsiders data suggest if anything?
A: "Well, as we have hinted, we regressed the Texans defense a bit. We don't have them falling completely off a cliff, but they regress a lot closer to a middle-of-the-pack defense than one that is in the top five. As for a "Phillips" effect in general, I mean, we're dealing with a lot of data in those studies that isn't exactly related to Phillips. You know, I'm sure a lot of your readers see us talking about regression and roll their eyes, noting the general youth and the Wade effect. I get it, it's not fun to be told statistical probabilities are going to reduce your chances rather than actual conditions.
If I had to point to one thing that is going to skew things, I would say that the Texans didn't really face many of the best passing offenses in the NFL last year. When they played New Orleans, Kareem Jackson and Troy Nolan were reduced to smoldering rubble. This year the schedule brings in teams like Green Bay and Detroit, as well as Tom Brady and the promise of an actual Peyton Manning-led Broncos offense — quarterbacks that are a little more challenging than some out-of-conference skirmishes with Josh Freeman and Matt Ryan."
Q: On one hand, the Texans don't have experienced, proven depth at the wide receiver position and a new right side of the line. On the other hand, the Texans have experienced coaches on the offensive side of the ball and have had previously lightly regarded players play well in their system. What does the Football Outsiders hand project for the Texans offense?
A: "As I said, we knock them down a bit because of the offensive line continuity on the right side. We're also unsure about the receiving corps going forward. Keep in mind that when you build a statistical projection system, a guy like DeVier Posey, who has no statistical background for the 2011 season, is going to be someone that gets projected lower than an average third-round pick. This will still be an above-average offense even if Arian Foster has to drag them there kicking and screaming, but I think the development of the secondary receivers is a very big question mark."
Q: A bone for fantasy football fans: Any projection thoughts on Arian Foster, Andre Johnson?
A: "We have Arian Foster projected as the second-most valuable back in standard fantasy formats, behind only Ray Rice, and I think that clashes with the traditional consensus enough that he's a worthy No. 1 overall pick. We're a little down on Andre Johnson, who KUBIAK projects as the No. 11 receiver this year. However, that's kind of a standard hedge with us — in fantasy leagues, you would prefer your players to be in their prime for risk purposes. A couple of other factors: Johnson has missed a few games the last two seasons, and we think the Texans aren't going to throw the ball often enough for Johnson to really rack up the numbers."
Q: The best part of Football Outsiders Almanac to me is the weird trends, numbers that aren't easy to find in traditional statistics. Any weird, notable trends for the Texans?
A: "Here are a few of my favorites:
-The Texans defense led the league in passes batted down at the line with 27. The next-best defense had just 22.
-The Texans offense faced 4-3 defenses 61 percent of the time last season, due to the schedule and their division rivals. No other NFL team faced the 4-3 more than 44 percent of the time.
-When we talk about the Houston receiving depth being unproven this year, I feel like a lot of people conflate "young" with "unproven." Last year the Texans' receiving corps was both unproven and sans upside. The staff knew this, as evidenced by the fact that they ran three-wideout formations just 24 percent of the time — dead last in the NFL. They ran four-wideout formations … zero percent of the time. This is a team that really needs those young receivers to grow up fast."
Q: You watch and follow the Texans closer than most. And you know what the numbers say. Are there any projections where your Rivers' Spidersense thinks things won't go the way the projections say and why?
A: "I expect the running game and defense to return mostly intact. I don't think the offensive line is going to be a real problem, though I'm wary of Antoine Caldwell and don't necessarily buy the high-ankle sprain excuses bandied about for him. It wouldn't surprise me to see either unit slip a bit, but I don't think Texans fans are going to be lamenting either of those units at the end of the season unless injuries strike hard.
I think nine wins is a very fair projection given the schedule difference. Last year Houston played the third-easiest schedule in the NFL. While I think the rest of the division is still in incubator mode sans Tennessee, who have their own problems to deal with, the NFC North is going to be a rough division to play against. The first-place games against New England and Baltimore are not cakewalks.
I am relatively confident that the Texans will win the division, but I have my doubts that this is a year where they can romp to 12 or 13 wins as some might expect given natural progression. That said, if they make the playoffs and have their key offensive weapons healthy, I think this team is going to be a very tough out, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them pull off a run to the Super Bowl as a low seed. Especially if they can find a third reliable receiver by the time January rolls around."
Give A Big Thanks to Rivers.
Thanks to Rivers and seriously, if you are someone who loves football, the money you will spend on the Football Outsiders Almanac and associated products is money that will be well spent. It's like Christmas in July. And if you don't visit their excellent website semi-regularly, then you must be a new reader here.

(Click on first link, then read the posts after). I was invited back to the Chronicle right before the 2008 season so I didn't do a preseason FO review, but did do this one mid-season, "Houston Texans defense: The NFL's worst over the last 4 years."
That last one in particular is an interesting blog post in retrospect. I very much believe that the Kubiak defenses pre-Wade grotesquely underperformed because of lack of experience at the defensive coordinator position. That it didn't matter how many players they drafted on the defensive side of the ball, if the team didn't have a specific defensive philosophy, sound schemes, and play calling, they had no chance of succeeding.
So, I don't know anyone who projected the defense would improve as much as it did last year under Wade Phillips. But I don't see a regression back to the bad old Texans defense days, because I think that the previous two coordinators were a big fat boat anchor to the team. That it didn't matter how hard individual players worked because what they were doing on the defensive side of the ball was not sound NFL football.
Any thoughts on the projections?

President Obama called the president of Turkey on Friday to express condolences for the lives lost in a mine explosion and fire earlier this week, USA Today reported.
Obama spoke with Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul, the National Security Council said Friday in a statement, telling him that "the United States stands ready to provide any assistance that could help those affected."
At least 292 people have been confirmed dead after the mine accident in Soma, Turkey.
"President Obama expressed that our prayers are with the families and loved ones of those suffering from this accident," said the statement.

If the Perseid meteor shower has whetted your appetite for matters astronomical, a menu of projects has been drawn up that promise dramatic cosmic discoveries over the next decade.
From observing the universe's first galaxies and black holes, which are thought to have appeared some 13 billion years ago, to building a detailed tally of the number of habitable planets around nearby stars, astronomers in the United States have developed an ambitious set of projects for the next 10 years.
The once-a-decade report releases Friday represents a two-year effort of consultation and debate to set priorities for the US space-science community, after sorting through hundreds of suggestion regarding major projects and programs researchers would like to undertake.
The document historically has served the blueprint federal agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, and the US Department of Energy use for formulating their astronomy and astrophysics budget requests.
To achieve the goals it lays out, the plan includes new ground- and space-based telescopes. It recommends increased support for projects that can be fielded fairly quickly in response to serendipitous discoveries. And it includes calls for closer cooperation among astronomers and astrophysicists in countries worldwide.
"If you look toward the future, we're going to have to be doing more, not less, international coordination and collaboration," says panel member Michael Turner, an astrophysicist at the University of Chicago. "The projects that we're doing are very big, very bold, and very expensive. And the scientific visions that we have are converging."
What the plan wants
The report was released Friday by the National Research Council's Committee for a Decadal Survey of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
On the ground, the committee's highest priority is the Large-Scale Synoptic Telescope, or LSST. It's a 8.4-meter telescope that is designed to photograph the entire sky every three days. Objects in any single patch of sky will get their portraits taken roughly 1,000 times over 10 years. The aim is to detect more rapidly exotic explosions and other transient events that a less exhaustive sky survey might miss.
In space, the top priority is an orbiting infrared telescope, the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope, also designed for large, repeated images of the sky high above Earth's atmosphere, which hinders infrared observations from Earth.
In setting the research themes and picking the projects, "some very tough choices were made," says Roger Blandford, a Stanford University cosmologist who headed the committee.
Of the five decadal surveys, this is the first to try to rigorously estimate future science budgets, then weigh that against cost estimates for the projects they considered, as well as the level of technological development those projects still require, according to Neil deGrasse Tyson, who heads the Hayden Planetarium in New York and also served on the decadal committee.
"This may be the first decade where we have some hope that the [budget] targets estimated will be reached," he said. "In the previous decade, there was a lot of dreaming about: Wouldn't it be great if..."
A new realism
The LSST is a case in point. The LSST essentially swapped places with another major initiative – a giant segmented-mirror telescope – as the committee's top priority. The LSST is a smaller telescope than the two segmented-mirror candidates, the Thirty Meter Telescope and the Giant Magellan Telescope.
In looking at the three, the panel "was deeply impressed with the scientific potential" of the LSST and of the two segmented-mirror candidates, says Timothy Heckman, an astrophysicist at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and a member of the decadal committee.
But "based on the judgment of the committee and the independent assessment we received" from the Aerospace Corporation – which also took part in the process of reorienting NASA's human spaceflight program – "LSST looked like it was ready to go," Dr. Heckman says.
The analysis showed that the project appeared to have no technological gotchas looming, and it matched well with the science themes the panel identified, he says.
Meanwhile, the committee recommended that the National Science Foundation take a 25 percent stake in one of the two the giant segmented-mirror telescope efforts.
That implies some intense politicking ahead as leaders from each try to convince the NSF that their project is the one to back.

In Which We Barely Bring A Change Of Clothes
Goodbye Station
by LUCY MORRIS
I was up at Grand Central the other day and walked by the line of airport shuttles on 42nd Street, where I more than once deposited different boyfriends and where they more than once deposited me. I remembered in an instant the individual goodbyes we exchanged and the looks in their eyes — green, green, brown, brown — in those moments, and seeing my own eyes — blue reflected back in them.
That was all very good and edifying in its own way: there are nuances of life you are unable to sense until you've intertwined yours with someone else's for some period. But none of it was as good and edifying as what's been happening the last few months: there are just as many nuances you are unable to sense until you've made your life solely yours, assembled a set of routines and rituals and plans for which you alone are responsible.
I want to say all of this comes as a surprise but I'm afraid it doesn't. I think deep down I always suspected it could get better than those greetings, those goodbyes, whatever pleasures came in between.
This is not to say I assumed it actually would.
For a while late last decade, Micah and I lived out at the southernmost tip of Brooklyn in a house crowded with other people's furniture. We were legally prohibited from painting the walls or getting rid of the excess of knick-knacks because of some issue with the original owner's will. It was a material abundance we were too young to deserve, to know what to do with. Sometimes when we didn't want to do the dishes we'd go to the basement to dig out the silver cutlery of the elderly woman who had lived — and died — there before us.
I was too small for the size of our house, for the seriousness of Micah's intentions, but maintained a steadfast ignorance of these facts, a quiet campaign of avoidance that I assumed was essential to all relationships. During the years we were together, I hardly went out at all, as if I was afraid that seeing what else and who else was out there might make it impossible to go home again. In the end, it turned out I was right. Once I did start going out and seeing what else was there, I could not return to that house near the Verrazano, to Micah's overwhelming affections, to our bed with the misshapen blue sheets we struggled to fit to the mattress each morning.
When I moved out, I found that everything I owned fit into the back of an SUV. This confirmation of my material compactness should have been a relief but instead I found it alarming, as if it indicated some other insignificance or inexperience. It seemed that in the absence of a love that had swelled up into all the corners of my being, into all the hours of my day, I was highly portable, my existence in one place — or with one person — more or less temporary.
Having a major space in your life suddenly vacated is no rarefied tragedy: it happens to most people, and likely more than once. But it takes a long time to fill that expanse inside you again, the minutes and habits and parts of yourself that used to be shared. This did not bother me then and it does not now: it's a fact of a life in which you choose to love and I would not choose another kind.
The appeal of what came next was not that it was better — I knew from the start it wouldn't be — but rather that it wasn't as big, that it would in fact be so small, so insufficient, I could start restocking my life with other things again. I took long walks alone around the northern edges of Prospect Park the summer after I left. Everything felt simultaneously new and rusty: a rerouted commute on the same trains, the choreography of cooking old meals in a new kitchen, pacing unfamiliar streets until they became known. I was suddenly aware, too, that there was now a whole variety of experimental forms of pleasure available to me, minor and major, risky and not.
One of these, located somewhere on the axis of minor and risky, was Jonah. If there can be a single explanation for the trajectory of any love, it goes like this: it's fun until it isn't. Jonah was no exception.
The last time I recall feeling fondly towards him, early one evening in late summer, we were outside drinking Red Stripe and playing Scrabble. Jonah won the game by a huge margin and then confessed to cheating throughout, but with a grin I had noticed he employed specifically in instances where he wanted his behavior excused, not just with me but with everyone: his friends, family, employers, store clerks. It was an effective expression — humbly crooked but with eyebrows raised as if to say, "How could you not forgive me?" — but once you caught onto it, it was hard not to observe the frequency with which it appeared, and then not to wonder why he was constantly in need of forgiveness, or doing things that required it, however trivial.
I allowed him this for the reason I allowed him many things: it made me wonder. But after a while, to no one's surprise — including my own — wonderment ceased to be enough, started, in actuality, to seem like an absurd premise for spending time with someone. We continued to become less tender to each other, until we were only capable of being pleasant after we had sex — although during the act we both managed to persist with our minor cruelties.
On another outdoor night, one of the last we spent lodged against each other in the hammock with string imprints forming on our cheeks, a few bats swooped down near our heads and we yelped simultaneously. I remember how embarrassed we both were in the moments afterward at our show of fright. In the whole history of bad things people have done to one other there is no accounting for what we choose to be ashamed of. There is also no accounting for what we choose to forgive.
On that same night, after the bats, I recall whispering, "I love you," in the way I now can see many people do, when they have run out of other things to say to each other, or stopped looking for more precise ways of relating. But I knew as I said it that it was the only time I had ever lied about loving someone, and although I have done many other things wrong since — left a whole trail of different errors in my wake — I have never again done that.
Peter's bed was so big I could lie across it horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and still not reach the edges. I was very tired when I first arrived in it, but simultaneously having a lot of trouble sleeping. The exhaustion was a broad one, an encompassing uncertainty that made me lethargic and unproductive during the day but also unable to put my mind to rest when I turned off the lights. Peter's main allure at this particular moment was that his sleep schedule was compatible with mine. We spent three weeks staying up all night talking and then more than a year trying to replicate the intimacy of those weeks, and for the most part, to everyone's surprise — including our own — we actually succeeded.
In the months I spent camped out in his attic apartment, I rarely brought a change of clothes with me or used his shower, but I was closer to him than I'd ever been to someone else. As happens when you feel unchallenged in other aspects of your life, I rerouted my energies into conducting the relationship as a kind of experiment, testing out behaviors like jealousy and anger, from which I had so far mostly abstained. I had a hypothesis, which I announced to him often, that the ability to exercise these latent emotional muscles was proof of a deeper bond. This was met with minimal reception and was also never proven correct or incorrect, but it was certainly facilitated by the fact that we could sleep in the same bed after arguments without even noticing the other person was present.
Late in winter we both got sick for a month, shared a Neti Pot, let cough drop wrappers and Advil bottles and Kleenex pile up around us. We watched movies to rest our voices but could never make it through one without pausing to talk. Then we got better; it got warm. On weekday afternoons we went to a public water park to float down the lazy river while listening to the oldies station, toes hooked around each other's tubes to keep from drifting. By then I had begun to worry that the lazy river days were symptomatic of something bigger, that Peter was in some abstract sense slow moving and was reducing my rate of acceleration by proxy — I would have generally preferred to swim laps — but our conversations were actually so rapid I could never figure out where to stop them.
I knew well the sheets on the cot that served as his couch; he slept there, not in his bed, when I wasn't around. When I talk to him these days, I know he is lying on that cot, and I feel guilty — and then I don't — for the excess of my own bed, the room I now have to spread out, how I wouldn't exchange it for anything — or anyone — anymore.
The month or two that Ryan spent pursuing me, I spent much of my time hiding out in a large store in the Flatiron District where my cell phone got no reception. There I could thumb through racks of dresses I'd never wear and delay confronting his attempts to win me over. I put it off not because I didn't enjoy them, but because I did, a great deal, and this was so unfamiliar a sensation to me, so unlike my customary ambivalence that I found it almost physically uncomfortable. To convince myself it was a good use of my time, I usually needed a drink in hand when I called him, leftover party gin in leftover plastic party cups I stacked on my windowsill after we hung up.
On New Year's, after the countdown and the kiss, we locked ourselves in the bathroom at a party to take a nap. The tiles on the floor were the same as the ones in my mother's house; my eyes blurred as I studied them. I slept with my head on Ryan's hip. The rivets of his jeans left an imprint on my forehead.
Some time later we crash danced around my tiny bedroom, unsettling my precarious piles of books, knocking the cheap garment rack that served as my closet at an angle. We had a lot of fun together and not much else, which was the kind of less consuming experience I had believed I wanted but turned out was probably constitutionally incapable of. We fell asleep on top of the covers, this time with his chin on my shoulder, and in the morning we had sex.
"What do you want to do today?" Ryan asked afterwards, pulling on a t-shirt, and in response, without thinking even for a second, I said, "I think we should break up and also we should go to the Met." Which is exactly what we did. Standing side by side in the American Wing, it was like nothing had ever happened, which seemed like a good sign. But generally this — the suggestion that nothing has changed, when things substantially have—is actually the deadliest sign of all.
Afterward he called me from California to say he wished I was there, which was what we both seemed to think I wanted to hear, but in that moment I realized it was not, that I did not in fact want to be in California at all, I wanted to be where I was: slightly but forgivably late for dinner with a friend across town, sprawled on my bed staring into the apartment across the street. This was a sight I now confronted more than any one person's face and in truth I found it, in its total impenetrability, more compelling than the eyes and features I used to examine so often. Ryan said he had to go at the exact same moment I did. "I'll call you later," he said, and he didn't, and I was surprised to discover how relieved I was by this, how much more I immediately liked him knowing that we were no longer in any way obligated to each other.
By now I hardly had any real obligations to anyone beyond whomever I promised to meet for a drink, go on a walk with, have over for a meal. I had expected to feel unmoored in the absence of a major commitment, but instead I felt flush with time, the very best kind of currency. I dispensed it freely to the people whose company I most appreciated, and in a very limited way to everyone else. I found this significantly more fulfilling—in reality it made me far less lonely — than I had when all the free hours of my day were accounted for, pre-allocated, in large part, to someone else.
On the days when the past sneaks up on me in a song or smell or unanticipated flash of nostalgia, on those occasions when I cannot help looking back, it is difficult not to be upset with myself for how I spent the first couple years of this decade and the last few of the previous one. I was frivolous with my time and money and body and energy during what could feasibly be the only period in my life when my time and money and body and energy are wholly mine and unshared.
By some combination of fortune and miracle, I managed to remain employed the whole time, avoid major financial trouble, and not get pregnant, in spite of expending the absolute minimum effort to prevent any of these undesirable outcomes. Perhaps it is as simple as this: there are periods in life when this is the most you can hope for, the absence of select failures, rather than solid accomplishments.
It is good to have this knowledge but what's better still is exiting that kind of period and entering, by a similar combination of luck and chance, a new one.

Isle of Capri reopening Tower Hotel this month
The Isle of Capri Casino Hotel-Lake Charles is reopening its Tower Hotel later this month.
The $15 million remodel began in March 2012 and includes nine Parlor Suites, 240 Junior Suites, a renovated hotel lobby, and updated Lakeside Ballroom and fitness center.
The hotel is located at 100 Westlake Avenue, Westlake, La.
Spindltop Center building new Cottages
Spindletop Center will break ground later this month on an apartment complex called The Cottages at Spindletop, the third in the center's series of housing solutions for people with disabilities and low incomes.
The Aug. 22 ground-breaking ceremony with Spindletop CEO Dr. N. Charles Harris will be at 10 a.m. at the center's Beaumont south campus, 2750 S. Eighth St.
The 15-unit complex will feature apartments with kitchens, baths and a community building for tenant activities. The Department of Housing and Urban Development will determine rental rates for the units.
Spindletop will be able to build the new facility due to a $1.5 million grant from HUB, nearly $150,000 in HUD rent subsidies and a grant of more than $350,000 from HOME funds supplied to the City of Beaumont. Additionally, Spindletop will invest $423,000 of its own funds to complete the project.
"Seventy-seven percent of people who have lived in our first complex were homeless when they came to us," said Spindletop Director of Housing Brandy Mouton in a statement. "Thanks to stable housing, about one quarter have been able to get jobs, and several have pursued higher education. A quarter of them were even able to leave our facilities and get housing on their own. Housing can make all the difference."
Spindletop Center serves people with mental illness, intellectual and developmental disabilities, substance abuse issues and early childhood developmental delays. It aids clients in Jefferson, Hardin, Orange and Chambers counties with campuses in Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange and Lumberton.

The E3 Media and Business Summit, formerly known as the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), and commonly known as E3, is an annual trade show for the computer and video games industry presented by the Entertainment Software Association. It is only open to game industry professionals, journalists, and guests of exhibitors, such as celebrities. E3 was usually held in the third week of May of each year at the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) in Los Angeles.
As of 2007, E3 is invitation-only, meaning that instead of around 60,000 attendees at E3 there were only around 3,000-5,000. The reason for this change is to allow for a more intimate atmosphere where business will be emphasised. A separate conference called Entertainment for All Expo has been created to accommodate the public demand for a major, annual video game event.
Many games (and consoles) have been and will continue to be announced at E3, including Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which were both announced at E3 2006.
In 2008, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars was announced at Nintendo's press conference.

MacBook Air
From £749
Apple's goal with MacBook was to do the impossible: engineer a full-size experience into the lightest and most compact Mac notebook ever. That meant reimagining every element to make it not only lighter and thinner but also better. The result is more than just a new notebook. It's the future of the notebook. And now, with sixth-generation Intel processors, improved graphics performance, faster flash storage and up to 10 hours of battery life, MacBook is even more capable.

Model Paulina Porizkova was outspoken during her time as a judge on "America's Next Top Model," and she was just as honest in a new interview with Access Hollywoodin which she reacted with great surprise over Heidi Montag's surgery-enhanced new look.
"I think she looks like Frankenstein," Paulina told Access.
Railing against plastic surgery, Heidi Montag was target No. 1 for Paulina.
"I think she is truly a scary looking human being because she doesn't quite look human anymore," Paulina said.
Heidi's ten procedures in one day doesn't quite cut it for the former supermodel, who, in her blog on Modelina.com, compared Heidi's work to a "cheap plastic pool float."
"I would feel so bad if that was my daughter," Paulina said. "I would feel like I did such a bad job mothering her. It probably would be my fault. I probably would have to take some of the blame."
At 45, Paulina says she has not had any facial surgery and for now is opting for natural enhancements.
"I deprive myself of all foods that I love and I put on every $250 cream that I can find in the vain hopes that they're gonna smooth my wrinkles out. I'm as vain as anybody else," she said.
Paulina also had something to say about Kate Hudson, who in new paparazzi pics appears to have had, what some feel, is a breast augmentation.
"She didn't look like the most perfect example of a flat chested woman anymore. Now she was just a starlet with boobs," Paulina said.
She also talked about Madonna and the Queen of Pop's ever-evolving appearance.
"She looks absolutely amazing but she no longer looks like Madonna," Paulina said. "Madonna has always been a chameleon, She always went for the transformations and now she took it so far that you don't even recognize what was there originally. I think it's a shame because what was there originally was really interesting and really cool."

Green Corfu
GreenCorfu.com is a website that wants to promote a different Corfu, a Corfu that is not so well known either to Greeks or to people from all over the world. Corfu is a touristic island but has more to offer than golden sandy beaches, sun and a crystal clear blue sea. Corfu is a green island, because of its lush vegetation all year round, full of olive trees, cypresses, and a wealth of other plants, insects, birds and animals.
There are a lot of initiatives promoting alternative tourism on Corfu. Things like walking, cycling, horse riding and meditation holidays. Especially walking and meditation are hot items.
There are also many people producing local products, ranging from organic olive oil, vegetables, fruit and things such as jams, preserves, honey and olive oil soap to artifacts made from olive wood, glass, leather and other forms of art.
There is a whole alternative community forming on the island, oriented towards a natural way of living, contact with and respect for nature, away from consumerism and the hectic way of life of the western world.
We are trying to bring together in one website all the above initiatives and enhance cooperation between people, as well as advertising this to the outside world.
Visit our current website at http://www.greencorfu.com for more info. The website is continually being expanded.
Our target audience consists mainly of:
- tourists searching for a different way to spend their holidays.
- foreigners living in Corfu who are looking for something different.
- Greeks who are looking for something different.
Geographically, I think most of our target group come from western Europe and specifically Germany, Holland, Scandinavian countries, Switzerland and Austria but also Italy, other European countries, USA and (probably more in the future) Russia, China and Japan. Of course Greeks are also part of our target group.
The site is already translated in Greek, the next languages we are going to implement are German and Dutch.
As far as age is concerned, I think the main audience is between 30 and 60, but there will also be younger and older people interested.
We want a logo that communicates green, alternative holidays, but not in a too commercial way. A better way to describe it might be alternative holidays (and maybe an alternative way of life) for alternative people. Nature is another important concept.
The name of the website makes it tempting to base the logo on a map of Corfu painted green, but this has already been used too often by other companies, so we are looking for something more original... If you could incorporate such a map in the logo in an original way it would be nice of course, but I don't think it will be easy.
Green will definitely be one of the colours of the logo, feel free to use one or more additional colours.
The logo will be used on the website, but also on cards and posters and should not be too complicated.
Looking forward to many great entries!

This may impact users wanting to run Cinnamon (though the upcoming version of Cinnamon has a "Cinnamon 2D" session, that will allow it to work), or Compiz. Before you buy a new system with an Intel Atom, check if it has one of these.

To be very clear, this is just about these specific Intel Atom models, for which there is currently a problem on using them with Linux + hardware accelerated graphics.
Intel processors generally work very well with Linux, as Intel actively contributes to the Linux kernel and is an important sponsor and driver of Linux on multiple fronts. Just avoid these models for now when buying new hardware.

Editor's note: Staff writer Jim Haddadin is a party to the newspaper's motion seeking access to sealed court records.>
DOVER — A Dover trial court judge is weighing whether to release court documents relating to the killing of University of New Hampshire student Elizabeth Marriott.
Judge Stephen Morrison on Monday heard arguments from Foster's Daily Democrat and the New Hampshire Union Leader, which are asking the judge to unseal all or part of the documents in the case.
The Portsmouth Herald has also petitioned the court for access to those records, which include the arrest and search warrants obtained during the investigation into Marriott's death and any supporting police affidavits.
Marriott, a 19-year-old University of New Hampshire student, was last seen on Tuesday, Oct. 9, and is presumed dead. Prosecutors allege Marriott was either strangled or suffocated inside an apartment on Mill Street by a 29-year-old Dover man the night she went missing.
The suspect, Seth Mazzaglia, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with Marriott's death. Prosecutors have said Mazzaglia, an aspiring actor and martial arts instructor, resided in the unit at the Sawyer Mill Apartments where Marriott died.
Few other details have been released, and documents that could offer new insight into the case remain under seal at Dover Circuit Court.
Under state law, police must return search warrants to the court where they originated within three days after a search is executed. Documents attached to the warrants, such as police affidavits, then become public records, unless otherwise ordered by a judge.
During Mazzaglia's arraignment on Oct. 15, Morrison ordered the court records on file in Dover to remain under seal, allowing only Mazzaglia's defense attorney to view them.
Foster's and the other two newspapers filed motions after the arraignment asking the judge for access to the records.
The attorney general's office filed an objection to the requests on Oct. 24, arguing public disclosure of court documents could jeopardize the criminal investigation into Marriott's death and taint the grand jury indictment process.
At a hearing Monday, attorney Kathleen Sullivan, who represented the Union Leader, and Foster's Executive Editor Rodney Doherty asked Morrison to review the case and consider releasing redacted versions of the documents.
"In no way do we want to hurt the case," Doherty said, "but we also feel as if it's time for more information to be released to the general public."
Sullivan said the newspaper respects the validity of some of the attorney general's concerns, such as not identifying some witnesses, but believes other information should be subject to public disclosure. She said the Union Leader would abide by "reasonable redactions in the affidavit and attendant documents."
"I find it difficult to believe ... that every word on every piece of paper that is sealed — that the release of that would compromise an ongoing investigation," she said.
Sullivan also asked the court to set a status date by which the documents would be released, or another hearing would take place.
Assistant Attorney General James Vara and Attorney Geoff Ward represented the attorney general's office at the hearing. Vara reiterated his objection to release of the documents, explaining that Dover police and State Police are still gathering evidence about the crime. In addition, the attorney general's office is preparing for a grand jury indictment, which could be hampered by the release of new details.
Vara also asked the judge to grant the attorney general's office a 48-hour waiting period if court files are released in order for prosecutors to notify Marriott's family of the decision.
The release of sealed court documents could also hamper Mazzaglia's ability to defend himself during the grand jury indictment, according to his attorney, Joachim Barth. Releasing information to the press now could "compromise and chill" the fact-finding under way, and raise questions about the veracity of witness testimony, Barth said.
Releasing redacted documents would also be harmful because it would invite extrapolation and speculation about the facts of the case.
Judge Morrison took the arguments under advisement, and scheduled a private meeting with the defense attorney and prosecutor to hear specific information about how the release of the sealed documents would impact the criminal investigation.
Sullivan had objected to the private meeting, asking the judge to instead order the attorney general's office to prepare redacted versions of the sealed documents for his review.

After two years of marriage – and several months of legal troubles and rehab stints, Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller have split, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
A source told Access that Brooke has moved out and the couple's twin sons, Max and Bob, will be staying with her.
The two have been under the microscope since a Christmas Day incident, where Charlie allegedly put a knife to Brooke's throat during a domestic dispute at the family's home in Aspen, Colorado – allegations which Charlie has denied.
More recently, Charlie drew headlines when he was spotted leaving a woman's apartment in a disguise. While In Touch Weekly reported it was the apartment of his alleged mistress, who reportedly charged $3,000 per hour – a rep for the "Two and a Half Men" star told Access Charlie was simply visiting a friend. The woman also denied she was an escort in a statement to Access and said Charlie was a friend.
In between, there have been several court dates, public allegations and even rehab stints for both parties.
As for Charlie's "Two and a Half Men," the star recently said reports of him leaving the show over a contract dispute with CBS were false.
"Much speculation and rumor has arisen from my current status surrounding 'Two and a Half Men,'" the star said in a statement to People on April 9. "All of the numbers reported in the press are false. Claims from 'inside sources' regarding offers from the studio as well as my salary, on their best day, are without merit."
The final episode of the season was taped later that night, and despite his denial he was leaving, even Charlie seemed to hint it was at least possible.
"If tonight's show is the end for me as Charlie Harper, so be it. Another journey has begun," he concluded.
Charlie and Brooke have two children – twin sons Max and Bob – who were born on March 14, 2009.
The couple met in April 2006 before announcing their engagement in July 2007. Charlie and Brooke tied the knot on May 30, 2008.

Poland has a history of fans disrupting youth soccer games, for what we suspect are shits and giggles. Here's another one—undated, with no details, but at one point a fan is shown with the flag of FC Wągrowiec (apparently distinct from third-tier side Nielba Wągrowiec).
The children seem kind of confused by the whole hullabaloo, but they don't seem to mind giving up soccer to clean up the streamers thrown onto the playing surface. Kids just like being given tasks.

Nibbles from "Shocked: My Mother, Schiaparelli and Me," by Patricia Volk
Here are a few nibbles to whet your appetite for the forthcoming book "Shocked: My Mother, Schiaparelli, and Me" by Patricia Volk (due from Alfred A. Knopf in April).
It's a hybrid memoir/biography, combining elements of the author's own family story and anecdotes from the life of legendary designer Elsa Schiaparelli, who was known for her Salvador Dali-esque designs, and who is also credited with creating the color 'shocking pink.'
Page 7:
Stretching a smile, my mother paints her lips back on. She mashes them together then blots them on a folded tissue: FRRRIIIIP!
She reapplies the "Sky Blue Pink," blotting one last time.
"If you blot twice," she instructs, "you can eat a frankfurter and your lipstick still won't come off."
Page 31
I remember, when I was so small I could hardly read, seeing a drawing … of two men bathing on a solitary beach. They started to talk, got along splendidly, and after sunning themselves for a long time went behind different rocks to dress. One came out all smartness with a dangling lorgnette and a silver stick; the other in rags. Stupefied, they looked at each other, and with a cold nod each turned and went his separate way. They had nothing more to say to each other. – Elsa Schiaparelli
Page 70
Women dress alike all over the world: They dress to be annoying to other women. – Elsa Schiaparelli
Page 73
When she gets a new blouse, an old blouse goes. Audrey believes in Laver's Law. It is a fashion timetable developed by James Laver, playwright, bon vivant and curator at the Victoria & Albert museum. Mr. Laver explicates the life cycle of a dress:
Indecent – 10 years before its time
Shameless – 5 years before its time
Daring – 1 year before its time
Smart – Current fashion
Dowdy – 1 year after its time
Hideous – 10 years after its time
Ridiculous – 20 years after its time
Amusing – 30 years after its time
Quaint – 50 years after its time
Charming – 70 years after its time
Romantic – 100 years after its time
Beautiful – 150 years after its time
Page 147
As an adult, Schiap's long face presents with hooded eyes, a high domed forehead and voluptuous lower lip. Her upper lip is short. Her brown eyes turn down at the corners and the skin around them is sunken and dark. She knows she's not pretty. She's referred to as jolie-laide. Beautiful-ugly women are not conventionally good-looking. Their faces are idiosyncratic, off-kilter, ill-proportioned. But something makes them jolie, too. It's a combination of attitude and style. They groom themselves impeccably and dress with imagination. They have flawless carriage and hold themselves as if they are in fact beauties. When a jolie-laide enters a room, heads turn. Jolies-laides compel. They are referred to as "striking." "Striking" is a way of saying "not beautiful but worthy of attention." Famous jolies-laides are Diana Vreeland, Anjelica Huston and the Duchess of Windsor.
Page 197
Once, lying in bed, looking at her ceiling, I ask her if she has any regrets.
She thinks. Finally, she says, "One."
I'm hoping she regrets the way she spoke to her mother or that she apologizes for the time she THOONed me in the mouth for sassiness. The aftermath of that whack, the resulting root canal, led to an ongoing prosthodontic challenge.
"What is it, Ma? What do you regret?"
"That I talked my mother out of getting a face-lift."
And now for your viewing pleasure, here's Elsa Schiaparelli in the most unlikely of places, as a participant on "What's My Line?"
