"Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul," says Donna Karan, chief designer of the international company that bears her name. "For me, designing is an expression of who I am as a woman, with all the complications, feelings and emotions."
In fact, Karan credits her feminine instincts for the success of the company she founded in 1984 with her late husband Stephan Weiss, which went on to be come a publicly-traded enterprise in 1996, and then five years later, was acquired by its present owner, the French luxury conglomerate, LVMH , Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Says Karan, "That I'm a woman makes me want to nurture others, fulfill needs and solve problems. At the same time, the artist within me strives for beauty, both sensually and visually. So design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable."
How Karan meets that challenge can run from the simplicity of a bodysuit (where it all began) to the artisan glamour of a limited edition hand-painted devore dress. Whatever form the design takes, Karan will tell you it begins and ends with the body - its sensual expression, sense of security, and freedom of movement.
A modern system of dressing, Karan's concept is based on seven easy pieces, where a handful of interchangeable items work together to create an entire wardrobe that goes from day to evening, week day to weekend, season to season. "I'm designing for an international man and woman. A creative person who never knows where a day is going to take them," says Karan. "That's why New York is on the label. It sets the pace, the attitude."
Speaking in a multi-cultural language of fashion, Karan is inspired by the life and innate style of the artist. Quintessential hallmarks include black cashmere, leather, stretch and molded fabrics, often developed by Karan, as well as silhouettes that wrap and sculpt the body. For Karan, it's never been just about clothes; It's about lifestyles. She sees the entire picture from head-to-toe, from function to aesthetic. Handbags and shoes are designed right alongside the clothes. "How do I dress the leg?" inspired Donna Karan Hosiery. "The right bra?" Donna Karan Intimates. "The perfect glasses?" Donna Karan Eyewear. The list goes on to include belts, accessories and, as Karan puts it, "Everything you need to pull yourself together."
Karan's quest for the perfect jeans, as well as her desire to dress her daughter Gabby, resulted in the 1989 birth of DKNY. Fast fashion with an urban mind-set, DKNY is what Karan calls "the pizza to Collection's caviar." DKNY grew so popular and diverse that other brands and labels spun from it, including DKNY Jeans, DKNY Active, DKNY Underwear, DKNY JEANS Juniors, and DKNY Kids. (Not surprisingly, Karan's grandkids and friends' kids had much to do with the latter). Like Collection, DKNY has an accessories and shoe collection to underscore its New York City street-smart look.
Karan saw that the many men in her life, starting with her husband, also needed a sophisticated system of dressing. Considering Karan's father was a custom tailor, a menswear collection was inevitable, and it was founded in 1992. Since men cannot live by double face cashmere suits alone, DKNY Men emerged a year later in answer to his casual, sport side, which then beget its own dress shirt and tailored clothing collections.
Determined to seduce all the senses, Karan took on the world of beauty in 1992 under the business and creative leadership of her husband, who designed the bottles and jars for the signature fragrances and their ancillary products. The beauty division went on to introduce best-selling fragrances. Completing the lifestyle approach to design, in 2001 Karan introduced a Donna Karan Home collection "all about touch and feel," which includes everything from luxe bedding and candles to cashmere throws, and DKNY home, which accents interiors with fashion-forward bedding and accessories.
Donna Karan International has an excess of one hundred company-owned and licensed free standing Donna Karan Collection, DKNY, and DKNY JEANS stores worldwide. The first flagships opened in London - DKNY in 1994, and Collection two years later. 1999 marked the opening of the uptown New York City DKNY flagship store, located at 60th Street and Madison Avenue, and two years later, came the downtown DKNY flagship on West Broadway in SoHo. Bringing it back to where it all began, in 2001 Karan opened the Donna Karan New York flagship store, the premiere Collection showcase, at 819 Madison Avenue. Designed as "a serene escape from the city's chaos," a dramatic indoor/outdoor river rock garden runs through the townhouse's ground floor.
For Karan, it literally and creatively began in New York. She was born into fashion on Long Island. Not only was her father Gabby Faske (who died when Karan was three) a tailor, her mother Helen was a showroom model and fashion sales rep. Even Karan's stepfather Harold Flaxman was in the fashion business. So it was only natural that Karan, while still in high school, designed her first collection and staged her first show.
Following her second year at Parson's School of Design, Karan was hired by Anne Klein for a summer job . After three years as an associate designer, Karan was named successor following Klein's death in 1974. Louis De ll'Olio , a Parson's friend, joined her a year later. Together, they designed the Anne Klein Collection. In a foreshadow of DKNY , Karan created Anne Klein II in 1982, originating the concept of bridge and lifestyle dressing in fashion. After ten years of designing Anne Klein, Karan was ready to go out on her own with the support of Weiss and partner Takiyho, Inc. the owner of Anne Klein & Co. Fall 1985 saw the first Donna Karan New York Collection and the reaction from the press and retailers proved once again that Karan made fashion history.
Throughout her long career, Karan's peers have acknowledged her achievements with numerous accolades. The Council of Fashion Designers of America has saluted her six times; and most recently in 2010 she was nominated for their Womenswear Designer of the Year Award. In 2003, Karan was the first American designer to receive Fashion Group International's "Superstar Award." A year later, Karan's alma mater Parson's gave her an Honorary Doctorate to commemorate her contribution to the school and fashion industry, and in 2007, Glamour magazine named Karan one of their Women of the Year.
Using her company's visibility and resources for social causes is a heartfelt priority. A member of CFDA's Board of Directors, Karan conceived and spearheaded its Seventh on Sale benefits to raise funds for aids awareness and education. Karan co-chairs the annual New York "Kids for Kids" events for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation, as she has since its 1993 inception, as well as underwrites "Super Saturday," an annual designer flea market/barbeque founded with the late Liz Tilberis in 1998 to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research fund. To facilitate her many on–going philanthropic involvements, in 1999, Karan and Weiss established the Karan Weiss foundation.
Karan's Urban Zen Initiative, founded in 2007, is the culmination of Karan's philanthropic efforts. Explains Karan, "I have founded the Urban Zen initiative to create a working structure for advancing wellness, preserving culture and empowering children. These are causes that mean the world to me."

Panik's Potential Becoming Reality
It was one smooth motion that brought the crowd to its feet.
On the doorstep of the Adirondack Phantoms crease, Richard Panik snatched the puck out of the air, set it down, and tapped the puck into the net, providing the Syracuse Crunch with a 5-0 second period lead at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday.
The effortless looking play was all instinct for Panik.
"The game is going so quick and fast, so you don't have time to think about anything," he said.
With 12 points over 14 games in his second year pro, the Slovakian winger has become accustomed to finding the back of the net. It just seems more often than not it's in a big situation.
"I just try to play hard every shift," Panik said. "If you play hard, good things happen. I'm glad I scored an important goal, but I have to start focusing on normal goals."
Normal is relative.
Panik's first goal of the season seemed far from it. An attempted cross-pass deflected off a Senators defenseman, capping a Syracuse rally that turned a five-goal deficit into a 6-5 overtime victory in Binghamton last month.
A few weeks later, in front of a near-capacity crowd at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Panik registered a pair of assists against the Hamilton Bulldogs. The Lightning's 2009 second-rounder shined under the bright lights, with Syracuse head coach Jon Cooper calling him the best player on the ice.
"Richard Panik has got unique talent, not just for this league, but the National Hockey League," Cooper said. "He's a physical specimen that can skate like the wind. He's got power, he can hit, and he's got stick skills above almost anybody that plays the game. It's pretty impressive."
Cooper, who coached Panik during his rookie season with the Norfolk Admirals last season, has seen the highs and lows – as well as the progress – in the 21-year-old's game.
"The knock on Panik growing up was that you'd see signs of it, and then you wouldn't for a long time," Cooper said. "I think the only thing keeping him out of the NHL is being inconsistent. He's getting consistency down."
Despite being one of Cooper's key players this year, Panik frequently found himself watching Norfolk games from the stands last season.
"It was hard at the beginning, because I didn't have a good NHL camp and I had to fight for a spot on the AHL team," he said. "I didn't play much at the beginning of the season. I'd play like one shift the one game, then I'd be a healthy scratch for two."
With midseason injuries taking their toll of the Admirals, Panik began to see more ice time. He recorded 11 points in January, easily outpacing the six he collected in the previous three months combined.
The 6-1, 208 pounder became a mainstay in the Norfolk lineup, and went on to score 41 points in 64 regular season games. He added six points in 18 playoff games, but none stood out like his second round series-clinching goal against the Connecticut Whale.
After taking a deflected slap shot to the grill in the second period, Panik returned in overtime with a pair of chipped teeth and more than two dozen stitches. On a breakaway, he faked backhand and slid the puck on his forehand past Connecticut goalie Cameron Talbot.
Norfolk followed with sweeps of the St. John's IceCaps and the Toronto Marlies to win the Calder Cup.
While Panik's rookie year ended better than he ever expected, his sophomore season began quietly with three points over the first seven games. He has turned it around in November, and is currently riding a seven-game point streak.
"I'm getting better every game, so I can see some progress," Panik said. "I just have to work harder and keep it up."
The goals have started to become more normal, like the one against the Phantoms Saturday.
"He keeps raising the bar for himself," Cooper said. "When he came in with low expectations, we didn't expect a whole ton of things out of him. Now we have his expectations to a point where any little slip up is a disappointment with us. Has he been 100 percent consistent all year? Of course not, but has he been better than I've ever seen him? There's no question."
Note: With four points (2 goals) in three games this week, Panik wins Bolt Prospects' Prospect of the Week award for the week ending November 19. Panik projects as a physical scoring winger at the NHL level, capable of highlight reel goals and hits.

Let's see how this works in a real app built with AppSheet: a cost estimator put together by a fictional auto repair shop to calculate the resulting total profit from jobs done in one week.
First, let's take a look at the original spreadsheet-- there are four columns: Service, Total, Cost, and Type.
Once the app is created from the spreadsheet, either through AppSheet's Google Sheets add-on or straight from AppSheet.com, you can now view it live in the app emulator.
You'll note that my leftmost column, Service, is showing first in the app. Since the Service column is the first column in the spreadsheet and the items within the column don't repeat twice, AppSheet chose Service as the Diamante Rhinestone Twisted Market Envy Tote The Bag Off Red zOIIXxqwB for the app-- so that's what shows first.
If you click into any of the entries in the app, you'll be able to see the rest of the columns and data.

WASHINGTON – A significant number of Latino voters could be convinced to vote for Republican candidates if the GOP changed its tack on immigration, according to an analysis of election results and polling data by a Seattle-based polling firm that extensively surveys Latino voters.
"Immigration is causing Republicans to leave votes on the table," said Stanford University professor Gary Segura, one of the principals of the Latino Decisions polling firm, speaking with reporters by telephone Wednesday.
An estimated 31% of Latino registered voters would be more likely to vote for a Republican if the party took the lead on pushing for immigration reform, according to poll results.
That difference would be enough for a Republican presidential candidate to win 42% of the Latino vote and the presidency, Segura said.

Man Gets 5 Years in Minnesota Gas Station Standoff
HASTINGS, Minn. (AP) - A Burnsville man has been sentenced to five years in prison for a hostage-taking that led to a police standoff at a suburban gas station in September.
The Dakota County Attorney's office says 31-year-old Ariel Luis Barnett was sentenced Friday.
Barnett pleaded guilty earlier this month to two counts of second-degree assault, two counts of kidnapping and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, all felonies.
Barnett was accused of taking two employees of a Burnsville gas station hostage at gunpoint on Sept. 7. Prosecutors say one of the hostages was Barnett's former girlfriend.
Police surrounded the gas station. After a short standoff, an officer talked to Barnett on the phone and persuaded him to surrender. Neither employee was hurt.

Genetic tests have become the cutting-edge in cancer treatment, allowing doctors to choose drugs that target genetic mutations carried in a patient's tumor. But the success of such therapies came with a quick letdown: the drugs eventually stopped working.
Tumors turn out to be made up of cells don't all have identical DNA, meaning that even a very effective targeted drug might leave behind a subpopulation of cancer cells that eventually kill a patient.
A new study of the gene activity of hundreds of individual cells from five patients' deadly brain tumors adds yet another layer of complexity, revealing an enormous diversity of which genes are flipped on and off in cells in the same tumor. The study, published online in the journal Science Thursday, is a collaboration that crosses the boundary between medicine and science.
Surgeons from Massachusetts General Hospital gathered freshly removed tumor tissue from patients, prepped it for analysis, and then sent it across the river to the Broad Institute in Cambridge, where scientists were able to use sophisticated sequencing techniques to determine the activity of genes in each individual cell.
The results are, on one hand, depressing: they show how complex glioblastoma tumors are, comprised of many different kinds of cells. And those cells are diverse in ways that matter for treatment -- drugs that are designed to attack specific molecular targets will work on some of the cells found in a single tumor, but not on others.
But the news isn't all bad: the technique used in the study could be used to help understand why glioblastoma -- and other cancers -- evade treatment, and could help scientists think in a more informed way about how to design the laboratory tests that they use to screen new drugs and combinations of therapies.
"What we found here is every tumor we looked at had cells that conform to multiple different cell types," said Dr. Brad Bernstein, a professor of pathology at Mass. General. "So you might say this patient has glioblastoma of tumor type X, and maybe most of its cells do conform to type X, but there are others that look like type Z."
Scientists also found evidence that some of the cells in the tumors were more like stem cells than others, suggesting that a subpopulation of cells could be the ones that seed the tumor. However, the entire notion of cancer stem cells has been under vigorous debate, in part because different groups of scientists have been unable to consistently determine which biomolecular markers truly indicate that a cancer cell is a stem cell.
Dr. Eric Holland, director of the human biology division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, who was not involved in the work, said that the variety of cells observed in the study neatly illustrates the challenge that oncologists face with glioblastoma.
A single brain tumor's diverse "population of cells are going to have all sorts of reasons they are going to be resistant to almost anything we've tried up to this point," Holland said. "That's an inherent problem. Right now it explains the problem -- it gives you an idea that single agents aren't going to be very effective."
Bernstein said he hopes that the information can be used to create better laboratory versions of tumors to test potential drug combinations. It also may help researchers conceive of tumors as almost like an organ with different types of cells that can grow and evolve, rather than a uniform collection of one type of cancer cell.
He admitted that initially he found the data somewhat disheartening, but when he showed it to colleagues who see patients with the devastating brain cancer, he got the opposite reaction. The data help confirm what doctors had already intuited from years of treating patients with drug therapies that almost inevitably fail.
"This may be to my knowledge the first study that tried to do this carefully within individual cells from human tumors and it is a bummer, because this is why cancer is so hard to cure," said Sean Morrison, director of the Children's Medical Center Research Institute at the University of Texas Southwestern. "It's a different battle in every patient in some ways. And this heterogeneity is why the best ideas we often have will kill 90 percent of the cells and leave the other 10 percent behind."Carolyn Y.

Learning Index >> Ceramic Decoration: a selective guide to pots in the collection of the Crafts Study Centre
No 12: Footed bowl, c.1953 (P.74.38)
Lucie Rie began making porcelain in London in the late 1940s, and by the 1950s was exploiting it to show off her fine sense of colour and assured technical control. This footed bowl is thrown, pierced and then incised on the inside with two pairs of lines; the interior is glazed in running manganese pigment (dark brown). The exterior is a deep yellow colour, derived from a natural uranium glaze which the potter is said to have acquired from America and is now obsolete. This bowl was given by the artist to Muriel Rose, an officer of the British Council and writer on the crafts; Rose subsequently bequeathed it to the Crafts Study Centre.

FOXBOROUGH — Ray Lewis's ride will continue, while the Patriots' season ended Sunday night when the Baltimore Ravens won the AFC Championship game, 28-13, at Gillette Stadium.
The Ravens avenged a loss to the Patriots in the AFC title game last season.
Lewis, the 17-year veteran linebacker, announced in December his career would end when the Ravens' season did. After a wild-card win against the Colts, a two-overtime thriller in Denver, and now the upset of New England, Lewis and Baltimore are headed to the Super Bowl.
He and the Ravens made no secret of the fact they wanted to play the Patriots again, that they wanted to return to Foxborough and change their fortunes.
It was the first time the Patriots lost a conference championship game at home, the first time they watched an opponent celebrate a trip to the Super Bowl on their home field.
There was little noise in the Patriots' locker room after the loss that wasn't coming from the assembled media. Players dressed quietly, shaking hands or hugging on their way out the door. They have to be at Gillette Stadium Monday for exit physicals and to clean out their lockers, but everyone knows the team that played Sunday night won't be the team that assembles in July when training camp starts again.
"It always comes to a screeching halt. That's just the way it is," quarterback Tom Brady said. "Only two teams advance and those two teams deserve it. We've lost before. It takes a while to get over."
"It's the worst feeling," defensive back Devin McCourty said. "You get this far, you don't see your season coming to an end; you can't prepare for this."
As much as this Ravens playoff run has seemingly become all about Lewis, the win solidified Joe Flacco as a top quarterback in the NFL – Sunday was his 12th postseason game, 10 of which have come on the road. This was the second straight year he got his team to the AFC title game, and in his fifth season he has led the Ravens to the final game of the season.
Flacco was 21 of 36 for 240 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions — he has yet to throw an interception in these playoffs.
"I think he played phenomenal," Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes said. "He played poised and led his team. My hat goes off to them."
The Patriots were seemingly fielding their most complete team in a few years, with the usual strong offense and retooled defense that got better as the season went on, but each unit played uncharacteristically poorly Sunday.
For Brady and the offense, the problem was not taking advantage of good field position, and curious clock management at the end of the second quarter.
On the defensive side, there were scoring drives allowed of 90 and 87 yards, the second of which, in the third quarter, put the Ravens up for good. The Patriots also had to play three-plus quarters without top cornerback Aqib Talib, who injured his leg breaking up a third-down pass and was unable to return.
Other members of the secondary said Talib's injury meant others had to step up and play, but with Talib, the Patriots were able to put players in their best positions. Without him, Kyle Arrington had to move outside from his now-customary slot spot, and Marquice Cole was at the star position in Arrington's place.
Not the ideal alignment for the Patriots.
When New England has lost playoff games in recent years, it has been because the high-flying offense was effectively grounded: the 14 and 17 points scored in both Super Bowls against the Giants, the 14 points in their loss to Baltimore in the 2009 season.
But it has been years since the Patriots have been held to fewer than two touchdowns in any game — the last time in Week 2 of the 2009 season, a 16-9 loss at the Jets. Since then, the Patriots had been shut out in the second half of a game only twice, prior to Sunday.
"I don't know," Patriots receiver Wes Welker said when asked what Baltimore did differently in the second half. "I'd have to go back and look at the film. We just didn't execute the way we needed to and it showed."
For as many times as he has come through for the Patriots, Welker had another key drop, on the first possession of the third quarter.
Facing third and 8, Brady hit Welker near the left sideline, but the ball went through his hands. Though they were on the Baltimore 34, the Patriots opted to punt rather than try a 52-yard field goal into the open end of the stadium, which was also into the wind.
The Ravens drove 87 yards on 10 plays when they got the ball, taking the lead for the first time, 14-13.
"They came kind of up-tempo a little bit with different personnel, and we struggled with it," defensive lineman Vince Wilfork said of the Ravens' second-half adjustments. "It wasn't anything we didn't know they were going to do. We had opportunities. I think we played pretty well at times, but when we needed them we just didn't make enough plays."
New England had a third-down conversion on its next possession wiped away by a Nate Solder holding call and could not convert on third and 12.
"We got behind in the second half and became one-dimensional," Brady said, referring to his 30 pass attempts against just eight rushes in the third and fourth quarters. "We just couldn't string enough good plays together to get the ball in the end zone."
New England was just 1 for 4 in the red zone — a stark change for a team that got TDs on 49 of 70 red-zone trips during the regular season.
The missed opportunities on offense, and the defense was unable to make a key stop in the second half. None of it was how New England expected things to go.
"I'm at a loss for words, I didn't expect this," Spikes said. "It's tough. It will be tough to get over this. A couple of plays. We have to make plays."
"I had all my plans to go to the Super Bowl," Solder said. "I don't even know what I'm going to do now."Shalise Manza Young can be reached at email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @shalisemyoung.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2GB Graphics Card Review - Kepler in Motion
GPU Boost
One of the most interesting, and likely to be the most controversial, new features on the GeForce GTX 680 and the Kepler GPU is called GPU Boost. You should think of GPU Boost as the GPU equivalent of Intel's Turbo Boost technology as it allows the clock speeds of the GTX 680 to increase when there is thermal headroom for it.
Before going over what GPU Boost does, it is crucial to have a background on the clock selection process on GPUs today. In general, clocks of GPUs have been set to the worst case scenario so that a vendor or manufacturer could guarantee stability of the part in all games. If one game or application (like 3DMark 11 pictured here) uses 160 watts of power at 1000 MHz (and that was generally considered the worst case by the GPU designer) then the clock would be set there.
Last year both AMD and NVIDIA started down the process of changing things by eliminating applications like Furmark and OCCT from the mix by limiting the amount of power that the GPU could draw. AMD did this in hardware and NVIDIA in a driver hack, but both vendors saw the benefit of removing the outside case of Furmark from their decision process when setting clock speeds.
Games use less power than Furmark, OCCT and even 3DMark 11, and some games use much less power than others. The above image shows a theoretical clock speed 1.0 GHz, a voltage of 1.0v and power consumption numbers for three applications - 3DM11, Crysis 2 and Battlefield 3. Using 160 watts as the target power consumption for a specific card, these would be the clock speeds set by NVIDIA without GPU Boost technology.
With a clock speed of 1.05 GHz and a voltage of 1.1v, you can see that power consumption changes (as would performance). 3DMark 11 is now outside the 160 watt limit they wanted to set though Crysis 2 and BF3 are still within safe ranges.
At 1.1 GHz and 1.2v, this imaginary card is now outside the 160 watt limit in both Crysis 2 and 3DMark 11 but is still within spec on BF3.
The goal of GPU Boost is to allow the clock speed of the GPU to scale between clock speeds based on the application being used, stay within the power consumption tolerance specified by the manufacturer, and run stable without user intervention.
To accomplish this, the Kepler GPU and graphics cards need to be able to monitor power consumption, temperatures, and performance utilizations. Then, to use that data to alter clock speeds and voltages on the fly. NVIDIA is keeping very quiet about the specific algorithm and work here but it should be pretty simple to understand for users; if you have thermal headroom and the GPU is nearly completely utilized, then increase clock and voltage until you are nearly at the limits specified.
This all occurs fairly quickly with an instantaneous polling time and a 100ms response time on the clocks and voltages.
Here is a different view of the GPU Boost feature. With the Y axis being power and the X axis a series of unnamed games, you can see that a single game that utilizes the GPU nearly completely and consumes the most power typically sets the base clock speed for GPUs. However, all the way on the left you'll see another game that falls well under the power limits and could be running at higher speeds.
Each of these titles will have varying amounts of power windows to expand into but the goal of GPU Boost is to get as close to the thermal limits of the card as possible to enable the best GPU performance.
With the Y axis now shifted to clock speed rather than power, you can see that the GPU clock will increase some amount over the base clock used on that game on the far right; a capability possible because of GPU Boost's ability to increase clocks on the fly.
There are lots of questions that go along with this new technology NVIDIA is introducing, including whether users have the ability to disable the feature. That is something that NVIDIA has decided to not allow simply stating that "this is way the card works now." The obvious fear is that reviewers and gamers would turn the technology off to get an "apples to apples" comparison of the GTX 680 to the HD 7970. NVIDIA's stance is that GPU Boost is a part of the GPU and should be included anyway. We are going to keep looking for a way to measure the actual benefits of GPU Boost on our own; although, it does take some time.
Another question you surely have is "how much with the clock boost?" The GTX 680 will be marketed with two clock speeds: the "base clock" and the "boost clock" with the base clock being exactly what you are used to. The base clock is the speed at which the GPU will run in the worst case scenario, a game or application which utilizes the GPU to its fullest. The boost clock is the GPU clock while running at "typical game" - though what a typical game is isn't really described. Because there is such a wide array of PC games on the market, and that clock can change even from scene to scene in the same game, it will be hard to say with any kind of certainty what speed you will be running at without looking for yourself.
This also means that performance will vary in several ways from user to user. If your GPU is in an open test bed versus a poorly cooled chassis, for example, you could have your GPU clock swing one way or the other. Also, due to the tolerances with GPUs from the factory, two different GTX 680s could perform differently in the exact same environment. While we have only been able to test a single GPU ourselves, and thus can't really judge the accuracy of the statement, NVIDIA is claiming there will only be a 1-2% variation from user to user. Will consumers complain if their specific card runs slower than their friends? We aren't sure yet but I know we will be finding out very soon.

Video News
After all these years It looks like I'm switching To Nvidia. BUY AMERICAN DAMN IT!!!YEEEEHAAAAWWWWWW jk
I'm a little disappointed in Batman AC at 1080p rez.
Nivida dips way down to laggy 25fps while AMD is in the 40s.
Average Frame rates are a little higher but not enough to notice during gameplay. You will notice a lag spike to 25fps though.
They say win gtx 680 but I'm thinking its really a win AMD.
Would rather have high min fps and ave 55fps vs averaging 60 fps and having lag spikes like that.
Hey thanks for the much detailed review. I'm a gamer and try to upgrade my rig from time to time. Still using a pair of AMD 5870's and thinking/hoping to do an upgrade sometime. I've been thinking amd7970, but open to Nvidia too.
So I'll keep watching for more. Looking forward to Josh's review of the MXI 7970R.
Thanks for the good show.
That is... a lot of green squares in those NVIDIA provided diagrams. They kinda burn my eyes. But in a good way.
Awesome! Triple monitor benches and a perfomance/dollar increase. Any idea why the 7970 and 7950 are dead even at 5760x1080, do they have some common limiting factor at that res.? This is going to make for a tough choice if AMD drops their pricing to be competitive with this!
It's about time they paid attention to what we want :)
im just wondering what the temp is the fan running at.
Well the temp was listed as 81C, is that what you needed?
I checked some benchmarks around the web. This card has almost nonexistant GPU compute portion, this card is even worse than GTX 570 in GPU rendering, even worse, it is more than 2 times slower than the Radeon HD 7870. And that doesn't surprise me, only 3.5 billion transistors, compared to previous 3.2 billion.
This is a Gaming card only, don't make your self a fool and try to use this as a card for doing some work that pays you back with some green bucks. :P
I may be a bit harsh, but mostly it is true.
That's why there are gaming cards and cards for rendering. This is a gaming card review, your comment is unnecessary.
Works great on cloth and velour as well as in the pockets
and recesses in the block and head. Chunks of sludge would work loose, and then trash your wheel wells.
First of all it is necessary for one to save enough money before attending lawn care 76017 school.
However, there's no such thing as a" certified" testing lab.
Feel free to visit my web page - perennials in canton
Great review, as usual. A little disappointed by the mins, but generally terrific absolute performance despite the low power consumption and reasonable temps. And nvidia is being reasonable with their pricing as well. Have been waiting for this for my son's rig, which is presently running two 460 1gb hawks in sli. At that price, with this performance, we are probably going to pull the trigger if they come back into stock at newegg at the same price.
Update:EVGA came back in stock and we pulled the trigger. Glad I had a $250 gift card from way back that I was saving for just such an occasion.
Good review, been waiting on a good upgrade to my gtx 560's in sli. This should be a great card with the low power draw. I love my 560's but in battlefield the drop in fps to 30 fps at random points because of sli have been really annoying. I wonder if anyone has figured that out yet. (Ryan posted about this back in December I think)Doesn't matter as I just picked up the Msi card from Newegg as I was reading article I kept refreshing Newegg and it jumped in stock and I was able to get one. I can't wait , I ordered it next day for a total of $523.22 not bad. (Glad I got in before the price gouging begins) I am sure glad Nvidia this time around did better on their pricing. I was holding off on getting new card till these came out to see which was a better option. I have always like Nvidia for their drivers and control panel over Amd/Ati. I am glad I waited. Now just need to save for another one later on and get a triple 27" monitor setup and I will be golden.
One question Ryan!!. Can you tell me what power supply will be required to run a sli configuration on the new gtx680.
The only requirement for a single GPU is a 550 watt power supply, so I am going to recommend a 750w for SLI.
Dam wish I could have gotten the evga version. I just saw it come back in stock but I already got a tracking number for my shipment. I was going to change to the egva version.
Quick question Ryan. Will the new card and drivers allow you configure just two monitors for surround. Currently eyefinity lets you group two monitors together as a single display/resolution. Can you do this with the GTX 680?
No, they still require three displays.
Can I ask what use you have for a two panel configuration?
Thanks for the info. I have a very specific application in mind, which probably wouldn't apply to most people.
I've recently built a dual projector system for passive 3D. Having a 3840 x 1080p perfectly synced screen allows me to play full frame 1080p side by side 3d video. Doing this allows me to give each eye the full 1080p image.
The eyefinity setup keeps the monitors perfectly in sync as long as I use two of the same outputs, minidisplay port to hdmi for both. Mixing outputs introduced a very slight lag to one of the displays, which is barely noticable.
There is some other software(Stereoscopic Player) which will play 3d video to two mintors for this purpose, but I had trouble getting everything to sync up.
I was hoping Nvidia would add this feature, as I greatly prefer there drivers for most games. There is one option, I could buy one of the Matrox Triple Head to go adapt. and use it with the Nvidia card, but obv. there is a little extra cost going that route. Thanks for the info!
Seems AMD got thoroughly beat. Does this mean lower prices on the 7970?
Nowadays it isn't that hard to make a GPU just for gaming. In raytracing rendering tasks it is surpassed even by GTX 570, not to mention radeon HD 7870 that does so more than two times.
It seems that nvidia will be adequate for productiviy work only with GK110 die. Because transistors will go from 3.5 to 6 billion, but Cuda cores only from ~1500 to ~2000, so it could be due to a higher percentage of computing cores on a given die.
I must admit. I want this. But it's too much and my Radeon 5850 is still fine.
Regarding the following item in the article:
"Because the software is already handling so much of the decoding process from DirectX, CUDA, OpenCL, and more NVIDA found it to be more power efficient to continue to increase the workload in the software rather than on the chip itself. Some items remain on die though because of latency concerns, such as texture operations."
How much of a burden does this place on the CPU? 1%, 5%, 10%, or more? Will the driver sense which CPU core is being utilized the most and offload this processing to a core that is not being utilized for the game (knowing that most games probably don't use more than two cores)?
I asked this question and was told that move to the CPU was "very minimal" and that overall it was "the most efficient way" to get things done.
Though, like you, I wonder how much of this makes the GPU more efficient while the CPU LESS efficient. If it were a big deal though it would have shown up in our power consumption testing since it monitors total system power consumption or in performance result drops.
Minimal is probably a good term here. With the ability to lay hands on inexpensive multi-core CPUs that often are not stressed in any game at standard resolutions, this software overhead looks to be a non-factor. There might be some corner cases, but you would expect the bottleneck to be somewhere else.
Ryan, I know you were extremely busy or rushed in your review, I hope you read this and consider it deeply. I read the review at work, finally get to comment. I really think the review is lacking in a few key areas, and not to say it is biased, but it leaves out some critical information.
1. The OC of the 7970 is VASTLY superior to the Nvidia card. The MSI Lightning stock OC goes to 1070, and adds 5-7 AVG FPS in gaming. When you OC that to around 1150 as just about every reference card has been able to do, it is another 5-7 AVG FPS. That isn't including the "good" cards that can OC to ~1300 and have 20-25% more frames over the stock ref designs.
2. The skyrim bench especially as well as batman appear to simply be games where the Nvidia support at development clearly gives them the edge. It would be nice to see some other games added to the benchmarking roster of games.
Specifically, R.U.S.E., Alan Wake, Wings of Prey and even Crysis (not 2) would be some good games to add. The first 3 have some very nice "effects" settings which really push the high end cards. I have a 4850, the only one of those I can run well is crysis, but I have to turn everything down and middle of the road.
3. We ALL KNOW that the ATI 79xx cards are underclocked. To the point where the 7950 beats the 7970 with a slight OC. It is extremely interesting how Metro 2033 was the single benchmark where the ATI cards pulled ahead, but contrasting that with the skyrim results, it is clear as a reader that something isn't right here. BF3 has a slight nvidia edge, Batman and Skyrim appear to have a clear Nvidia edge, but it would seem that every other game might be a flip-flop type scenario, where one card does better on one thing and the others do things better on a different game. It appears to be a driver issue, and we all know that ATI has had dramatic driver issues with the 7 series, to the point where they barely came out weeks ago.
4. The speedboost, in my opinion, is a very poor "feature". I get the idea behind it, but it seems to be clearly for power savings only and seems very much like a marketing feature or something that would make sense on a laptop rather then a desktop. I would have loved to see a feature or setting where that can be disabled, and traditional OC is possible. I see it as a negative that this isn't available.
5. The OC being limited to around 2% is a very poor limit and shows just how much the turbo effects everything. I have seen the MSI Lightning 7970, as mentioned above, OC well beyond the 10-15% normal range, upwards of adding 20-25 AVG FPS to some games.
6. Even though we all know ATI is dropping prices, it is clear that the review was tilted in a way which let it seem like nvidia was doing "a favor" by undercutting the price. If you add up all of the above, it isn't simply as clear as that. Whoever comes out first gets the high price, it always, always drops. I think if you visit the price in a week, let alone a month, it will make a lot more sense, and pricing shouldn't be handled as a major factor when we have news that the competitor will be dropping prices in response. It comes off as irresponsible to the reader when I see that, or when I see things not mentioned like that in reviews.
It's a lot to digest, but I hope it makes sense.
I would love to see an "OC" comparison when you do SLI testing, as well as some new games added to the roster for testing.
Thanks for the review.
For some info on skyrim, look at the apple to apple comparisons over here.
A very close match without MSAA, MSAA is clearly nvidia biased, and when you turn on the vendor specific techniques, it is clear that AMD is having drastic issues.
1.33:1 without MSAA (would be 1:1 with OC)
2:1 with MSAA
4:1 with vendor specific
Just looking over a lightning review. http://hardocp.com/article/2012/03/20/msi_r7970_lightning_video_card_rev...
Game: [stock/ref(925 MHZ) vs. lightning(1070MHz) vs. OC to 1170MHz]
Skyrim: 64.7 vs 73.2 vs 78 (20.6% Faster)
ME3: 117 vs. 125.2 vs. 132.1 (12.9% Faster)
BatmanAC: 40.3 vs 44.8 vs 47.9 (18.9% Faster)
BF3: 45.7 vs 51.2 vs 53.9 (17.9% Faster)
DE:HR: 62.9 vs 69.9 vs 74.9 (19.1% Faster)
Again, I would love to see some OC vs. OC results.
Here's a review of overclocked cards. GTX 680 comes out top.
1. That's good to know, but we aren't testing overclocked cards. We are testing reference cards in this review. We do review OC model cards (like the XFX model 7970 we tested) and will have a test of the Lightning next week. I think your estimate of 25% better improvement is an overestimate.
2. That's crap. Metro 2033 was an "NVIDIA game" and Dirt 3 was an "AMD game" yet those titles don't show any bias. Both vendors can write driver fixes to ANY game.
3. Fair enough - but we can only test based on the real user experience that you get when you install the cards and play the games. Saying that the HD 7970 is underclocked to me simply means that AMD didn't have the balls to release a card at the CORRECT speed then.
4. I think you misunderstand the feature then - I think it is really a compelling addition to get users the full capability of their GPU regardless of the game/application being played. When our video interview with Tom Petersen is online, you should take a listen?
5. I was able to hit a 150 MHz offset on the GTX 680 which is basically a 15% overclock.
6. Pricing is THE MAJOR factor other than performance. Yes, it is always changing, but to pretend it isn't a crucial factor is simply insane.
Thanks for you comments man, I love to hear what others are thinking, even if we disagree! :D
1. It was just one of those things that glared out to me, and the 25% is probably 20% based on the HardOCP review, but that is a bunch more then 2%, which would make things extremely close in the end.
2. I don't know if AMD helped with metro, or if all amd cards run better on it, but the point is, Nvidia clearly had helped with physx and some filtering stuff in bf and others, it would be a good idea to add some variety to the benches, I would add R.U.S.E. and WoP for sure (they are different types of games then the ones you have listed, and as I said, they have some very nice high end dx10/11 features).
3. I completely agree, but it would have been nice as a reader to see some "by the way" type text.
4. I didn't say there wasn't a point to it, but I just don't get it, or better put, agree with it. Why with 1500+ cores you would want to OC them on the fly? I would want to be able to test things and make them stable. I see benchmarks vastly varying with games, it could be related to this "feature". Maybe heat of the case/card forces some bad benches for some sites and better scores for others? IDK, just something to look into. I know for power specifically people have "proof" of shenanigans, especially with 3dmark, so who really knows, but I know there is more then meets the eye with this.
5. But the performance was only 2% better, not much higher, The high binned 7970's go to 1250-1300+ which is around (35-40%, even at 1150 it is 25%)
6. It has more to do with the fact that we already know that amd is going to reduce their pricing, and it is going to be within a week more then likely. If they don't the review stands, but if they do, then it really comes off as overly harsh for no reason in the long run. Let me put it this way, have you ever gone back and revised this, for the people who look at your review AFTER the prices drop? Nope, because it ALWAYS happens and it always has to do with either a competitor releasing something, or a new card being out. In my opinion, it always seems like after a week the pricing on reviews is completely off.
Like I said, I didn't want to come off as a jerk or w/e, but it was stuff I wanted you to discuss or look into. The point with the OC stuff was to bring it up before you do SLI/OC testing, and I know Josh is writing the lightning review, but it would be a good idea to toss those numbers in the mix and get an idea of which one, OC'd or at it's best let's say, actually performs the best. It seems very straightforward to me that the 7970 OCs a lot better.
Looks like we have that annoying "coil whine" here. Ryan, did you experience any in this review? Peeps may want to watch this video review at LinusTechTips here @ 7:31:
Note: Video also includes a cool cat
Actually, I know of this phenomenon but I didn't experience with the GTX 680. I have with some HD 7000 cards though. In my opinion this is some kind of odd mix of PSU/GPU that causes it. I have never been able to pinpoint one architecture of PSU as the culprit.
Ryan, can you put that fancy SPL meter on this beast and provide some noise measurements?
I run a Define R3 chassis and use "reference" blower-style fans on my GPUs in order to keep the noise/heat down during idle periods and provide more effective heat dissipation under load without adding more than the 2 fans I currently have. It's loud under load, but I can deal with that since I game with a headset.
Would be interesting to see how this compares to, say, my current 570 blower. Especially considering every new card release comes along with a marketing line regarding lower heat and noise.
Sorry, we had these numbers the whole time but I forgot to post them!
Again, the GTX 680 impressed us.
Wow just got the gtx680 installed and all I can say is Wow!!!!. I have bought many of top of the line video card over the years, and this is the first time I have ever been completely satisfied with one. This one is amazing. So powerful, quiet and only running 65c under load in Nvidia cooler master stacker case. Battlefield 3 run so smooth even running on 32inch 1080p ultra with vsync enabled never drops below 60 fps. Crysis 2 smooth as butter on extreme hi res textures. Now I think its time to look into getting into surround setup. if I could only get some good 27inch with small bezels for a good price.
All I can say it WOW Sweat I Want one so sad it out of my price rang at this time.
Great Review many thnaks Ryan
The reason for frame rate capping is to lower the temps of the card. Which also reduces the fanspeed automatically and consuming less power overall.
It works, I tried it in Battlefield 3 with my two GTX 580's in SLI. Normally I get about 100 FPS on Ultra, gpu's at 82C max. With a FPS cap of 80 FPS, I drop temps down to 70's. 10 degree savings and quieter operation.

Beyond the Lesson Book: Pets
One of the best things about home education is that it opens opportunities for learning that simply can not fit more traditional schedules. We will take a regular look at some irregular ways to maximize learning opportunities. Pets are a great place to start. Certainly I understand that children in public school have pets. I also understand that time shortages exist. Our lifestyle lends itself to getting the most out of every experience!

"Swan Lake"It is difficult to understand these days how it could have happened that the first show of the "Lake" in 1877, in Moscow's Bolshoi, was a flop, and that it took many years for the ballet to achieve its worldwide cult status. The composer, Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky, never lived to see the ultimate success of his creation.
The story begins in 1875, when Bolshoi commissions a ballet score from the young but already famous composer. It was not yet customary practice –despite Tchaikovsky fame and previous successes, which included four symphonies, the now famous Piano Concerto and "Eugene Onegin" opera, the Imperial Theatres of the time would normally employ the composers on Imperial payroll, such as Cesare Pugni, Ludwig Minkus, and Riccardo Drigo. Keeping that in mind, Tchaikovsky did not embark on the course of a revolution in the Russian ballet, and studied the classic ballet scores assiduously, planning to produce a score that would be in tune with the established tradition but at the same time would sound new and interesting. The task of composition occupied him from May 1875 to April 1876. The story was a knightly fairy tale, and historians still debate the literary origins –some opt for Heine, some for Musaeus, a German fairy-tale writer, some for Russian folklore fairy tales, some even for Pushkin.
The first show took place on February 20, 1877, and was a flop. The critics reviled the chief choreographer, Wentsel Reisinger, and were short on praise for Polina (Pelageya) Karpakova, the first interpreter of the main female part. The failure of the first show was detrimental for the immediate reputation of the ballet itself, and for quite some time nobody dared to stage it again.
The situation changed after Tchaikovsky's death. In 1893, Mariinka decided to revive the "Swan Lake". A new version of the libretto and the music was to be produced by Modest Tchaikovsky, the composer's brother, Ivan Vsevolzhsky, the director of the Imperial Theatres himself, and by Riccardo Drigo. The latter used the original music as a source material for a completely new score. The choreography was supervised by Marius Petipa and his pupil Lev Ivanov. The tradition claims that while Petipa was the father of the unique choreography of the new ballet, its truly Russian singing character is there thanks to Ivanov. The lake and swan scenes, famous for their perfection, are undoubtedly his alone. It was Ivanov who came up with the idea of enchanted ladies with their criss-crossed arms and heads tilted to one side, which every spectator immediately recognized for birds that sit with their wings folded. The very magical world of the swan lake was created by Ivanov. Petipa's are the scenes of courtly dances and festivities and their intricate lace of waltzes and various dances – Spanish, Hungarian, Polish. Petipa also created an antipode for Ivanov's White Queen of Swans –its black twin Odile, and its beautiful black pas-de-deux of the second act.
It was this particular stage version that came to be admired as the pinnacle of Russian ballet. This production, as none other, was the perfect setting for many famous dancers to showcase their art. The Swan Lake is a unique and perfect creation, and despite the changing musical and dancing fashions, the performance of Odette and Odile parts is still considered a touchstone for the mettle of any serious dancer. The White Swan is truly a symbol of Russian Ballet, of its beauty and magnificence.

The Garden of Prince Siegfried's Castle
Prince Siegfried has come of age and entered upon a new world of affairs of war and the burdens of manhood. It is the day for leaving behind the whims and caprice of youth. A happy day for the Prince, although touched by anxiety. The kindly jester and tutor who have been the Prince's loving companions since his childhood are the first to congratulate him. He greets his companions and joyfully accepts the congratulations of all the residents of the Castle.
The Prince's subjects come from far and wide to take part in the festivities. They confer upon him the sword and sceptre of authority and swear allegiance to their new ruler. Henceforth, Prince Siegfried holds their lives and properties in his hands and is also responsible for increasing their wealth and adding to their glory. Something is troubling the Prince. However, he hastens to his mother, the Princess Mother of the Realm, kneels before her and begs for her advice and assistance. The festivities continue, but the Prince is overcome by a desire to be alone, far from his guests. The Russian National Ballet Theatre (Classical Ballet) " target="_blank"> The Russian National Ballet Theatre (Classical Ballet) " target="_blank">
A Lakeside
A wild lakeside, completely deserted. This is where the evil sorcerer conceals the maidens he has changed into swans. The sorcerer and his evil spell can be destroyed only if a young man falls truly and faithfully in love with the most beautiful of the swan maidens, Odette. But how can this happen, with the evil sorcerer ever alert and watchful over his captives?
Suddenly the Prince appears at the lakeside. His gaze alights on Odette and he is transfixed, dazzled by her beauty, and overcome by the aura of evil in which she is entrapped. The sorcerer tries to keep the swan maidens away from the prince to prevent an encounter between him and Odette. But Siegfried follows the beautiful swan maiden. Who is she? The swan maidens are cloaked in silence, how can they be saved? How can he penetrate the secret that surrounds them and rescue them from their captivity? The Prince is completely overcome by the incomparable and exquisite delicacy of Odette, the Prince swears that he will return and free her from the evil spell.
The Great Hall of Prince Siegfried's Castle
The castle resounds to the clamor of festivities. Renowned Princesses from Hungary, Russia, Spain, Italy and Poland are presented to the Prince. He must choose one of them as his bride, in order to strengthen his authority and consolidate his power. However, in none of these royal heiresses does he find a maiden comparable to Odette, to whom he has lost his heart. He rejects them all.
The evil sorcerer appears with a Princess remarkably like the Prince's beloved. He bewitches the Prince into believing that this domineering and cunning maiden is in fact the Queen of the Swans. Even her name, Odile, sounds like Odette to the Prince's ears. He chooses her as his bride and at the same time he sees a vision of Odette and he understands that the evil sorcerer and his daughter Odile have tricked him and in despair he leaves the palace.
The Lakeside
Night falls again on the Swan Lake. The swan maidens are anxious, for if the Prince does not fulfill his vow to set them free, they will be doomed to everlasting captivity. The sorcerer raises a raging storm to conceal the Swan Lake behind a screen of dark clouds, But the Prince rushes headlong through the storm to Odette. The sorcerer attempts to conceal her from him, but no power can stop the young man whose heart is so full of love.
The Prince overcomes all obstacles, and the spell cast by the evil sorcerer is dashed forever on the rock of true love.

Tips on keeping yourself hidden on the social network.
Facebook is a marvellous tool for keeping in touch with old friends, family and anyone else you care to talk to. But that digital freedom can come at a cost: your privacy. Fortunately there are ways to ensure only the people you want to see your Facebook profile can – unless of course somebody knows your password.
The process of making your Facebook private is actually relatively painless once you familiarise yourself with the increasingly bloated user-interface. So where do you begin? Read on.
1. Privacy Shortcuts
There are two easy ways to get to the relevant privacy settings of your Facebook profile. In the top right, you will see a button to the right of your name – it has a padlock on it and three horizontal lines. Press it and then select 'See More Settings' at the bottom.
Alternatively you can click the little cog settings button located in the very top right next to the aforementioned Privacy Shorts button and then select "Settings" from the drop-down menu. The end result is exactly the same in either case. Now you can start to tailor your privacy.
2. Who can see my stuff?
Under the Privacy Settings and Tools heading you will see three bolded questions: "Who can see my stuff?", "Who can contact me?" and "Who can look me up?". We'll start with the first heading in the list.

Hello everyone,
and welcome to our German Word of the Day. This time we might… have a look at the meaning of:
Vielleicht is a very very important word and whenever I learn a new language (god, that sounds like I do that every other month) it is one of the first ones I look up. The main English translation of vielleicht is definitely maybe .Vielleicht
As you can see in the last example, vielleicht already counts as one position so the verb has to come after. Usually one position does answer to one question. For instance heute answers to when? For vielleicht things are not that obvious but still it is a valid answer to " how? " or simply " Will you do this? ". Anyway… vielleicht can very well open a sentence. Just note that the verb has to come after that. Now let's get to the more interesting question and that question is…Will you do this?
What the hell are the Germans thinking?
Not every German might be aware of this, but vielleicht is a actually really awk word … … … (they MUST find this funny… it's just so clever… I mean come on… I'll give them some more time to laugh) … … … The English word maybe makes perfect sense as it is. Something may or may not be … hence maybe . Vielleicht however seems to consist of the 2 words viel and leicht . Viel means much, many and a lot and leicht means light and easy . So based on that vielleicht would be much-easily . And why does this mean maybe ? It would make sense as probably or likely … but maybe ? Really? I have been wondering about this for a while and I was quite convinced that vielleicht actually has some Germanic root that has nothing to do with viel and leicht and that it just happened to look like that. But after reading this source I knew I was wrong. Vielleicht really does consist of those 2 words and back a few centuries ago it used to mean something like probably or easily . So originally it was used to express that something was very likely to happen, but it has changed and nowadays it really means just maybe . Why this change occurred, I have no idea, nor have I found anything online. As a matter of fact probably and maybe are both giving information about how certain something is, only the degree of certainty distinguishes the 2… getting from number 80 to number 40 won't take too long as long as it's on the same street.

Better set aside some time this afternoon for a chat with your BFF, your shrink or one of those 1-900 astrologists, because when you take a look at Chanel's Fall 2011 show you may find yourself asking some soul-searching questions like these:
1.) What's wrong with me? Why have I been so scared to carry a white bag? It doesn't look fussy at all: the graphic pop looks perfect over an indispensable black coat. (And as for stains, that's why those Tide-To-Go pens were invented, right?)
2.) Is Karl Lagerfeld a member of the Tights Are Not Pants movement? From the looks of all those pants-as-tights-under-skirts outfits on the Chanel runway, all signs point to yes--and thankfully, not a moment too soon. (Anyone else suffering from jights fatigue?)
3.) Why do I find myself wanting to dress like Barbra Streisand circa '69 all of a sudden? (Thanks to @Krizanovich who pointed out the sheer Scaasi jumpsuit Babs wore to the Oscars!) Never would have thought a playful lace pantsuit would be as tempting as a girly LBD: wonder what trendsetting celeb will be the first to wear one of these sexy sparklers out and about? (Our money's on Alexa Chung, who was sitting in the front row.)
4.) Sigh. Why can't black suits look as cool as this one does? Can it really be that hard?
5.) Does this mean that the murse (a.k.a. man-bag) is going to be a thing now? And if a dude I know does buy the Chanel murse, will the what's-yours-is-mine relationship clause still be in effect? (Fingers crossed.)
Other than those five queries, I had a few of my own questions that popped up while watching this morning's show. They included, but were not limited to: Chanel goes gothy grunge? Why, how perfect!, Gaaaah! Why can't I have a fairy godmother to fill my closet with Chanel? and How does Karl & co. make ROCKS look cool? (Don't believe me? Take a peek at the runway show set--complete with hundreds of igneus stones adorning a smoky runway) on our Tumblr.)
Now speaking of Qs, which of these outfits is your favorite? Loving any piece in particular? Do any other Qs come to mind looking at these Chanel Fall 2011 looks?
