An Interveiw
How did this start?
I saw a book called
"YarnBombing" and saw pictures of knitting and crocheting out on the street on poles and trees and I was thrilled. I couldn't believe I had never thought of doing that , it made so much sense to me.I intended to do all kinds of street art but the knitting is just too much fun to stop.
How many people are therein Streetcolor?
There is myself and my apprentice who I call the Russian. I dye the fiber , spin the yarn on a drop spindle, design most of the peices and knit. The Russian knits, does some design and we both sew up the knitting.
Why are you doing this?
I really like the idea of people running into art on the street while they are just in their regular life, of art being ordinary but provocative and beautiful.It does supprise the folks who notice the poles and they usually seem very pleased by them. To make art and be able to immediately interact with another person about it is unusual and satisfying. I've made so much art and sold it and never known how anyone felt about it. And finally, it is so much fun to do this much knitting.
What are your plans?
I want to put knitting up all over Berkeley. It's very entertaining to look at every pole as a possible are object. I love seeing them.The street looks so much prettier with knitted poles.
Questions People Ask And That I Ask Myself
What are you doing? What does this mean?
Our stock answer at this point while we are standing out on the street sewing these knitted socks onto poles is " This is an art installation all over Berkeley of these knitted pieces that are called yarn bombs " Some people are very perplexed by the term " Yarn Bomb", So we add " It's a form of graffiti".This explanation seems to satisfy most people. But it doesn't really say what it means, it's just a description.
It's street art obviously and has an excitement for me of being able to make art and put it anywhere I want to. In that way it subverts the idea that art should be inside in a gallery being judged by experts.By putting it out on the street it breaks down the barriers of what is art.
Why are you anonymous?
I want the work to be just about itself and not about our egos and being very Important. It is so freeing to be anonymous, It removes all the rules I had for myself, I wish I had made up another name a long time ago.
Tell us more about The Russian
The Russian is a young person who is a burgeoning artist who is being forced to knit more than you can possibly imagine. Actually The Russian really likes to knit and is great to discuss art theory with while we sew .
The Big Question !
What are you going to do when it rains?
The knitting should hold up to rain, wool can get wet. I guess they may swell and fall down. They were never intended to last forever, they are like street flowers.

WASHINGTON - The immigration overhaul pending before Congress is picking up more high-profile support as Apple co-founder Steve Jobs' widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, bankrolls a new documentary to promote the effort, directed by Academy Award-winner Davis Guggenheim.
Guggenheim directed Al Gore's film on global warming, 'An Inconvenient Truth,' and 2010's 'Waiting for Superman,' on the wretched state of the nation's public schools.
His new effort, 'The Dream is Now,' tells the stories of immigrant youths here illegally who are eager to succeed in America but can't because they lack legal status.
Jose is trained as a mechanical engineer, but working as a construction laborer because he can't get a job in his chosen profession.
Ola hopes to become a surgical oncologist, but fears deportation even as she pursues her studies.
The 30-minute film was screened at the Capitol for members of the House and Senate earlier this week and it will be shown on college campuses and elsewhere in coming weeks.
'My hope is that people will watch this film, it'll open their minds about what's really at stake in immigration reform,' Guggenheim said in an interview with The Associated Press. 'You see firsthand what happens if we don't fix this broken system we have.'
Laurene Powell Jobs chairs Emerson Collective, a nonprofit that supports education reform and other efforts. Through her work in education she encountered youths here illegally who couldn't advance because of their status, and became interested in their stories, Guggenheim said.
The youths in the film would benefit from legislation called the DREAM Act because it would allow citizenship to people brought here in their youths who fulfill certain requirements. Congress has tried but failed to pass that measure but it's expected to be incorporated in a comprehensive immigration overhaul bill to be released next week by bipartisan Senate negotiators.

Did you know that making cheese is actually pretty darn easy? All it involves is heating milk, adding some cultures, stirring, allowing the mixture to set for a period of time in a warm spot, and then straining. After straining, you have the option of eating your soft, fresh cheese, or putting the cheese into a cheese press and creating a nice round of hard cheese which will develop rich, fascinating flavors as it cures.
People have been making their own cheese for centuries, and there's no reason you can't join in. Here are a couple of reasons to try your hand at making cheese, if you're not totally convinced yet:
1. It's fun. It really is. Cheese is fantastic. You get to play around with milk, order a wide variety of cultures, and learn more about culturing and aging cheese to get desired flavors and textures. You may have some mishaps, but you'll also learn a ton about cheese and how it works.
2. Homemade cheese allows you to control exactly what goes into your cheese and how it's handled, which is a bonus. You can make it with milk from local farmers, if you want, and you have the option of adding herbs, spices, and other amendments to the cheese if you feel so inclined.
3. If you have kids, making cheese is a great family project. There's a lot of science and chemistry involved, and it can be a fantastic lesson for kids interested in cooking, chemistry, and science, from start to finish. They'll enjoy the process of making the cheese, waiting for it to finish curing, and, of course, eating it.
Hard cheeses present new opportunities
Most people start out with soft cheeses because they're easy to make — they're basically just a step up from yogurt, another cultured dairy product you can easily make at home. But eventually, you may develop a hankering for hard cheese, and that's when a whole wide world of cultures, curing methods, and cheese presses opens up before you.
You can buy fancy cheesemaking equipment, but it's expensive, and you're not a commercial dairy. You're just as well off using supplies you have around the house, although you may need to purchase a few items like a highly accurate thermometer. And when it comes to cheese presses, you really don't need to bother buying one, although there are lots of perfectly nice models available.
What you need is a DIY cheese press, and there are numerous guides on how to build a cheese press online.
Here's what you need to know about cheese presses: they work by applying steady, even pressure to cheese to exclude moisture so it will firm up in preparation for curing. As the cheese dries out, the microorganisms inside are also getting to work. Depending on which organisms were in the culture you used, your cheese may develop a variety of flavors and textures. After your aging period, you'll have a scrumptious hard cheese, suitable for all kinds of uses.
Homemade cheese press requirements
For a homemade cheese press, thus, you need something capable of applying even pressure that also has a drainage container for capturing drips. (You don't want your hard cheese sitting in a pool of moisture that's been squeezed out!) A good cheese press also needs to be sterilizable and food safe, for obvious reasons.
One issue with many online guides is that they recommend using PVC or other plastics as a mold for the cheese. Not all cheesemakers support this, as there are some concerns about chemical leaching that could pose human health risks. Instead, you can experiment with metal or ceramic molds, as long as they're designed to withstand the pressure of 35 pounds of weight or more.
To set up a cheese press, one of the easiest things to use is a simple food-grade container as a mold, with holes drilled for drainage. Set the container on a block or in a large pot, line the container with cheesecloth or muslin, pour the curds in, wrap the fabric over them, and top off with a plate, pie plate, or large glass jar. (These are all great materials because they will distribute pressure evenly, and they're nonreactive and food safe.) Stack weights like bricks, heavy books, or even workout weights on top, making sure they're evenly balanced.
Whey will leak out the holes you drilled as the cheese is compressed, while the container will keep the liquid contained so it doesn't end up all over the place. You can add or subtract weight as it rests, depending on the desired level of pressure. Once your hard cheese is sufficiently pressed, you can move it to a cool place for aging, although it may not last long if you have hungry members of the household.
Or just make a 'sandwich'
For an even simpler press, you can make a cheese sandwich, as it were, with two boards. Wrap your cheese, place it on one board, and then place the other board on top and weight it with bricks. Flip the sandwich partway through to make sure the cheese is pressed evenly. If someone in the house has DIY carpentry skills, you could fancy it up a bit.
One advantage to using a DIY cheese press is that it gives you a chance to see if you like making cheese before you commit to expensive supplies. You may find that your press works just fine for your needs, or you could decide that a real cheese press might need to go on your holiday list ... and that you need to talk to your contractor about building you a cheese cave.

Conditioning the A/C Technician
A version of this article appears in the May/June 2002 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
May 01, 2002
A relatively new A/C training system aims to turn A/C technicians into expert diagnosticians.
What do you get when you mix an A/C technician, a little bit of training, and no mentoring? According to John Proctor, principal of Proctor Engineering, you get what you deserve: a plague of poorly operating, energy-wasting A/C systems.That's why he developed CheckMe!, a training and guidance system that combines targeted instruction on A/C essentials, computerized expert systems, and ongoing hand-holding via telephone for field technicians (see "Fast Checks for Refrigerant Charge?," p. 18). It's a quiet revolution he's fomenting in the A/C world. Since the introduction of CheckMe! in 1998, 20,498 customers have received CheckMe! certificates telling them how their A/C units performed on charge and air flow tests, both before and after the technician worked on the unit. The certificate is the final feedback loop for technicians enrolled in this system, which places equal emphasis on technical accuracy and human interactions. The CheckMe! system starts with a series of trainings that detail how to diagnose and repair charge, airflow, and duct problems. Proctor designed his training program to address ...

Allergy and asthma – is lack of fibre the culprit?
There's a new story emerging about the value of eating fibre rich foods and it's got nothing to do with constipation. Instead it's about allergy, asthma and autoimmune disease and how lack of fibre in the western diet may be a culprit.
The link between fibre and these diseases, all of them related to problems with our immune system, is the microbes living in our gut. This is a part of the body that has more to do with immunity than most of us realise – it's home to millions of immune cells as well as trillions of bacteria. There's a growing recognition that this colony of gut bugs, or the microbiome as it's called, affects our health for better or worse depending on which bacteria are in residence, says Professor Charles Mackay of Monash Unversity's Department of Immunology.
"Less fibre, more processed food and the weight gain that can result from this has altered the mix of microbes in the gut," he explains. "This can affect our immune system and may be driving the rise in allergy, asthma and autoimmune disease in industrialised countries."
One clue to the connection between fibre and the immune system comes from rural Africa where problems like allergy and asthma are rare, diets are higher in fibre – and people tend to have a different mix of gut microbes. A study comparing the gut bacteria of African children from Burkina Faso with those of European children from Italy, for instance, found the African children had a more diverse bunch of microbes than the Italian children. Importantly, the Africans had more of the bacteria that digest fibre to produce short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) – substances that help keep both the gut and the immune system healthy, says Mackay.
Besides having an anti-inflammatory effect these SCFAs help keep the gut lining in good shape, preventing gut permeability or 'leaky gut', a problem where the gut lining becomes weakened, allowing things like bacteria and waste to pass through into the bloodstream. There's some evidence linking a leaky gut to Type 1 diabetes, says Mackay who's soon to take up an Australian Diabetes Council funded chair of Diabetes at the Charles Perkins Centre, The University of Sydney.
"It could be that bacteria or products of bacteria pass through the gut lining and stimulate the immune system in a way that causes it to attack the wrong target," he says. "Although for someone to develop an autoimmune disease like Type 1 diabetes you generally have to have a genetic predisposition as well as an environmental trigger. It may be that a leaky gut is the environmental trigger," he says.
Google 'leaky gut' and you'll find claims that it's behind a range of health problems from chronic fatigue to autism -and all because we're eating grains. But research into gut permeability and autoimmune disease is still at the early stages, says Mackay.
"I think there's some scientific basis for a possible effect of grains on the gut lining for some people but I don't think that this means all of us – there are plenty of healthy people who eat grains," he says.
So what should we eat to encourage the right mix of microbes we can count on to produce SCFAs? Although you'll find advice on the internet to get your SCFAs from butter, Mackay's advice is to eat a wide range of fibre rich plant foods.
"The levels of SCFAs produced from fibre are much greater than that derived from butter," he says. "I don't think there's any substitute for the health benefits of dietary fibre."
There's also a scientific argument for using vinegar in dressings to add to vegetables, he adds. Vinegar's main component is acetic acid which is also a short chain fatty acid.
Once we understand the ideal mix of microbes – how long would it take for a change of diet to improve the quality of our gut bacteria?
"We're not sure – in humans and mice the microbiome can change very quickly and going on a bender of fast food for two weeks would change it," Mackay says. "But we don't know what happens then – does it go back to normal once you start eating differently? We have ideas about which microbes are useful but we don't understand yet what the ideal composition is.
"But when we do it has the potential to improve human health just by improving diet without spending money on developing drugs – It's one of the most exciting developments in medical research in a long time. In the future, we'll probably be monitoring the health of our gut microbiome and then correcting it if it's unhealthy."

Patterson, professor of theology in women's studies at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, spoke at the Ukrainian Baptist Theological Seminary about biblical womanhood. In Georgia, she spoke as part of preparations for a Festival of Hope by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in June.
The Ukrainian seminary had invited Patterson, wife of Southwestern President Page Patterson, to assist in adding women's studies to the curriculum.
Yarslov Pyzh, seminary president and Southwestern Ph.D. graduate, has led the initiative to add women's studies at the school in Lviv, a city of 750,000 in central Ukraine.
Patterson recapped, "We're working on helping them develop a certificate of study that will give them courses helpful in their woman-to-woman ministries. We're hoping and praying that the Lord will enable them to get this program off the ground so the women in the churches will have some trained leadership."
Candi Finch, assistant professor of theology in women's studies at Southwestern, accompanied Patterson and helped with curriculum design and teaching. She also engaged in conversations on ways to connect older women and younger women in Ukraine's Baptist churches.
The women's studies program at the Lviv seminary "is very new," Finch said, "so we met with Yaroslav to talk through what type of classes to offer and brought copies of our programs for women at Southwestern."
"In our class sessions, we covered several passages/topics that we cover in our Biblical Theology of Womanhood class at Southwestern," Finch said of the interaction with women from across Ukraine. "One of the students told me that the very fact that the seminary there in Lviv would offer programs specifically geared to women's ministry in the church was really encouraging to them."
In Georgia, Patterson spoke at a women's rally at the request of the Graham organization.
Patterson spoke multiple times to about 700 women during a one-day meeting. "The idea was to encourage women to be fervent in prayer to support this crusade," she said.
Both Patterson and Finch came away from the March 10-12 trip encouraged and challenged by the faith and resolve of the Ukrainian and Georgian women, especially in the face of current tensions with Russia.
"I was reminded in a very poignant way that women who are caught in a situation like those who are in the Republic of Georgia as well as Ukraine have a very great burden to bear," Patterson said.
"They are facing some real challenges. Because of the threat to the nation, almost every woman in that country is going to have a brother, a husband, a father or a son in the military -- they're all going to be affected by this, and that's a huge burden. This is a very difficult time in the lives of our brothers and sisters in that Eastern European region."
At the same time, Patterson noted the complex nature of tensions between Russia and its neighboring countries. While grieved over Russia's encroachment on sovereign nations, she said she is thankful for the ongoing progress Russian Christians have made in preserving the sanctity of life and championing the biblical design for marriage and family in the country.
Patterson said she sensed a burden and responsibility to pray for believers in Ukraine, Georgia and other Eastern European countries.
"I felt when I returned home that I had a responsibility to the Kingdom and to my Christian brethren in Ukraine and Georgia," Patterson said. "That primary responsibility is to pray every day that the Lord would intervene because ultimately He's the only one who can bring peace."
As she lifts up fellow Christians there in prayer, Patterson said she remembers the Christ-like attitudes and humble hearts of the women she met.
"I cannot help but be overwhelmingly encouraged to see these women, at a time like this with all the pressures, coming in to get training, opening their Bibles and just being so excited to study God's Word," Patterson said. "In spite of all their hurting, they were there, and they were faithful."

Inside the 2010 Census form: Question #8 and Charlie RangelMonday, May 18th, 2009
June Kronholtz, who covers the 2010 Census for The Wall Street Journal, just reported on long-term Rep. Charlie Rangel's latest wrangling (okay, it's Monday, we want to be funny and use puns to keep you on your toes):
Race and ethnicity already are complicated questions in the decennial census. Now, Rep. Charles Rangel and a fellow New York Democrat want to make them even more complex.
Question 8 in the 2010 census form asks if the person being counted is "of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin" and, if so, from where. That person has a choice of four check boxes:
–Yes, he or she is Mexican, Mexican American or Chicano
–Yes, he or she is Puerto Rican
–Yes, he or she is Cuban or
–Yes, he or she is "another," and is asked to fill in a blank.
The form offers the prompt: "for example, Argentinean, Dominican, Nicaraguan, Salvadoran, Spaniard, and so on."
Rangel, who represents a district with a big Dominican population, has introduced HR 1504 that would require the Census Bureau to offer a separate check box for Dominican-Americans. Similarly, Rep. Yvette Clark (D., N.Y.), who is Caribbean-American, has introduced HR 2071 that would require a check box for "Caribbean extraction or descent."
The 2010 census forms already have gone to the printer, so there's no chance of a change this time around. But Terri Ann Lowenthal, who writes a census newsletter, says both bills are likely to figure into the discussion about the 2020 form.
Census drafters talk about the limited "real estate" on the decennial form—they want to keep it to one page and 10 questions in order to assure most people answer it.
But ethnic and racial interest groups regularly lobby for inclusion. Question 9 on the 2010 census asks for the race of the person being counted, and then gives the option of nine Asian groups, plus a fill-in blank for anyone not already covered; a check box for native Americans and a fill-in blank for the name of their tribe; a fill-in blank for "some other race;" a check box for "black, African Am., or Negro" and a check box for "white."
Groups representing Caribbean blacks, African immigrants and Arab-Americans already are asking for check boxes of their own in the 2020 census, says Lowenthal.
The Census Bureau doesn't ask anyone except Asians and Hispanics about their nationality or ancestry on the decennial census. For everyone else–the one-quarter Italian, half-Czech, one-quarter Scot–that question is left to the American Community Survey, a household sampling that the bureau conducts yearly.

Ten Tuesday Scribbles: On November Rituals, Head-Scratchers, and More…Posted by Brian Otskey on November 13th, 2012
Brian Otskey is a regular contributor for RTC. Every Tuesday during the regular season he'll be giving his 10 thoughts on the previous week's action. You can find him on Twitter @botskey
- In what seems to have become an annual November ritual, fans and members of the media tend to overreact in making bold statements about teams and players after just one or two games have been played. While I recognize that is the nature of the "what have you done for me lately?" society we live in, fans and the media alike must take a step back. While some early season wins may appear to be huge and some losses head-scratching, we all must remember that the college basketball season is a long, evolving process. The NCAA Tournament doesn't begin for another four months. Most teams will play 12 non-conference games before they begin 16 or 18-game conference schedules. It's OK to say something nice about a team that came up with a great early season win or to be skeptical of a school coming off a loss you might never have expected, but making statements such as "Florida State is a bust because it lost to South Alabama!" is just plain foolish. While a loss like that certainly gives you pause, we've seen this movie before time and time again in November, especially as the college season has started earlier and earlier over the years. A loss to South Alabama is hardly a definitive indicator of how Florida State will perform in 2012-13. It's just one of 30+ games the Seminoles will play this season. With that said, I do have a couple of questions about FSU. One, does the team miss the steady point guard presence of Luke Loucks from a season ago (nine assists, 17 turnovers against USA)? Two, is Leonard Hamilton's defense not as strong as we are accustomed to seeing? South Alabama shot 9-of-15 from deep and Buffalo shot 50% overall from the floor in FSU's second game on Monday. Those are examples of legitimate concerns, but not affirmative statements about how Florida State's season will turn out. The Seminoles have plenty of time to come together and fix their weaknesses. Just don't bury Florida State, or any other team for that matter, before Thanksgiving for crying out loud.
- There were quite a few of those aforementioned head-scratchers over the first four days of the season. In addition to Florida State, teams such as Mississippi State, Virginia, Rutgers, South Florida, Purdue, Drexel and Georgia all started the season on the wrong foot. Other schools including Oklahoma State, Texas and Providence struggled with inferior opponents but managed to hang on and win. In some circumstances like those faced at Mississippi State, Virginia, Georgia and Purdue, these are teams rebuilding after critical personnel losses. While it's unfair to blast their November performance, these losses could be a sign of things to come. On the other hand, you could say a team like Drexel just had a bad night. The Dragons are a talented bunch and the overwhelming favorites in the depleted Colonial Athletic Association. Above all, however, the worst loss of them all belongs to North Texas. The Sun Belt favorites, who boast the talented Tony Mitchell, lost to Division II Alabama-Huntsville on Monday night. What does this mean? Not a whole lot in the grand scheme of things but it underscores how important it is for teams to put forth maximum effort every time out. The instances in which a team can get away with an off night have shrunk over the years due to parity and better talent assembled on non-power six rosters. When trying to analyze a team at this early stage of the season, don't dismiss a disappointing loss but don't throw the team under the bus at the same time. There is a very long way to go.

Fresh & Local: Chile Peppers
How they're grown: There are many different chile peppers, including the more common jalapeno, cayenne and paprika. Most chile peppers are grown in the states of California and New Mexico, the country of Mexico or the continent of Africa. Chiles are a warm-season crop, often planted in the spring, in one- to three-clump groups and spaced 6"-12" apart. They're ready to pick 120-165 days later.
How to shop for them: The most desirable type of chile pepper is one that'ss mildly pungent: just enough kick to ignite the senses, but not to set your mouth ablaze. These peppers register on the Scoville scale between 0-50,000 units, which is considered medium-heat intensity. Chile peppers are often sold as a whole pepper or diced for easy add-ins to recipes.
How to store them: Chiles evoke their best flavor at an ambient temperature on your home countertop, for about two to four days after purchase. However, storing them in the refrigerator can extend shelf life for up to an additional 10 days. If you intend to use chile peppers in the future, they can be kept in the freezer for up to eight months after being blanched.
How to prepare them: Always rinse fresh produce and gently scrub with a bristle brush. Use a paring knife to cut off the stem of the pepper and discard or add to compost. Cut the pepper itself width- or length-wise, including julienned or finely diced methods. Chile peppers can also be cut into medium-sized pieces and minced to mix back into foods in small amounts. They can also be dried to add atop recipes.
How to eat them: The heat of chile peppers pairs well with creamy ingredients, such as dairy or nondairy cheeses and milks. Consider adding a light spread of diced or dried chile peppers to a low-fat casserole, macaroni dish or potato soup. A touch of chile also does very well in homemade, low-fat tacos, burritos, nachos or pizza.
Nutritional highlights: Chile peppers are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium. Plus, they're cholesterol-, fat- and sodium-free.

Austin Shafran, who's leaving his Cuomo Administration post today to run for the City Council, ripped into his potential opponent, GOP Councilman Dan Halloran, a self-described libertarian, for his positions on a whole host of topics ranging from gun control to federal aid in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
"Dan Halloran's support for the radical NRA proposals clearly shows he is out of step with a community that cares about the safety of its children," Mr. Shafran told Politicker this morning, alluding to what could become a dominant theme in one of the rare toss-up general election City Council races in New York City. "It was a watershed moment—you choose the political interests of the NRA over the public safety of our schools and children."
Furthermore, unlike most elected officials in the New York area, Mr. Halloran did not excoriate Republican Speaker John Boehner for failing to bring a massive Hurricane Sandy aid package to a vote at the end of last year. Needless to say, Mr. Shafran did not accept Mr. Halloran's pork-based opposition to the measure, and sharply criticized him for supporting the delay of the aid package. After public backlash, a similar version of a Sandy aid package passed the House of Representatives this week.
"Anyone who supports the Republican Congress's attempts to turn their backs on New York is not being fiscally responsible, they are being morally reprehensible," Mr. Shafran said. "I want to make that clear."
Additionally, Mr. Shafran slammed the councilman for his comments at a contentious redistricting hearing on Monday, where Mr. Halloran quoted Teddy Roosevelt and told the Districting Commission that "there is no room in this country for hyphenated Americans."
"As an Italian Jew born and raised in Bayside, I am one of those hyphenated Americans who is the proud product of the American dream of coming to Bayside," Mr. Shafran said. "I take personal offense to anyone that wants to jeopardize the American dream for any American, hyphenated or not."
Mr. Shafran officially filed to run in the race yesterday, setting up what is likely to be a four-way Democratic primary between Paul Vallone, the brother of Councilman Peter Vallone; John Duane, a former one-term assemblyman; and Matthew Silverstein, a Democratic district leader.
A former political operative with connections to the Democratic establishment and organized labor, Mr. Shafran promises, like Mr. Vallone, to be a formidable fundraiser. Mr. Shafran, is a favorite, along with Mr. Duane, to get the backing of the county's Democratic organization.
Update (1:23 p.m.): Mr. Halloran's spokesman Kevin Ryan issued a lengthy response to Mr. Shafran's attack:
Council Member Halloran is so focused on the safety of the entire public that he wants to do something to actually make them safer, not make them feel better with a sound bite.
Taking guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, like the voters in our district who may want to exercise their right to defend their homes, isn't Constitutional and isn't the answer.
Halloran has focused on solutions that address the real problems that cause gun violence: tackling education inequality and the lack of economic opportunity in these hard times and speaking out against the shoot'em-up playstation movie and video-game mentality.
The Council Member has offered real ideas on improving existing laws to fill in the gaps and close loopholes: all 50 states reporting crime uniformly to the Federal government, a real-time federal permit and background check, and finally addressing the issues of mental health and treatment as well working together with law enforcement on fighting crime and reporting statistics. As long as these problems are swept under the carpet our children are no safer.
Sandy Aid:
Council Member Halloran has voted his conscience and spoken his mind since he took office and has worked with both democrats and republicans for the benefit of our Communities. By doing so he has delivered results for Northeast Queens. The Council Member has criticized both the Senate and the House, both sides of the aisle because there is plenty of blame to go around. Both sides failed to act swiftly, productively, and meaningfully to aid the people of the New York. Disaster relief funds diverted for political purposes in Alaska for fisheries won't help the struggling folks in Queens or Staten Island. Neither will the same old tired political rhetoric.

But now, I eyed them and contemplated whether I dared to take a paint brush to them. Is a painting ever done? It seemed that my semi-abstract paintings were the most challenging. The originals often had happy accidents that resulted in an effect that I couldn't seem to re-create. Then in a moment of bravery I began to destroy my paintings.
I find that it is very difficult to destroy in order to create, yet some of my favorite work has arisen from such actions, once totally painting over a painting and turning the subtle image that remained into a new artwork. I admire people who don't hesitate to start anew, confident that they will land on their feet. I've had to learn to take those leaps and there is always a swallow-hard moment that precedes them. Whether it is painting out a painting, or leaving a job to venture out on one's own, each requires an act of letting go, ending one path to find another. I suspect there is a constellation of traits that define those of us who struggle with such choices. I'm a bit of a packrat, not good at getting rid of things. I keep them for history or because I might want them some day or simply because I don't know what to do with them. But I admire my friends with streamlined lives and aspire to at least move in that direction. I think it is by letting go that we make room for the new and that is true in life as well as in paintings.
Five years ago I made that leap in my own life, leaving a career in finance to focus on my artwork and family and cultural history. And there were quite a few swallow-hard moments that preceded that. It wasn't that I didn't paint or explore family history while I worked, but I did it in a different way, not as intensely, not as focused and not as much in the flow, letting the process unfold. I do consult periodically, but my new life has gradually been expanding to fill the available space. In the period since I left my job I've gone in new directions. I did my first solo show, followed by many more and then several international shows. I began to do public speaking about my artwork and family history and discovered that when you enjoy what you do, it is a natural next step to share it. And when you are passionate about what you do, that enthusiasm is contagious. I discovered the power of story and began exploring that further in my artwork and I started painting in series because a stand alone painting wasn't enough to tell the stories I wanted to tell. Before long I was creating multi-dimensional projects because the stories demanded it. I began to partner with organizations and individuals and I accessed technology, creating web sites, video-editing and yes, blogging. Often I traveled to find the stories I painted. In recent years I've spent a total of four months overseas in eleven countries. Had you told me five years ago that was what I would be doing, I might have not had so many swallow-hard moments, but I would have missed out on the joy of discovering each new opportunity on my path.
So I've learned that letting go of "good enough" while hard, is a necessary step to get to something that I may find more satisfying, whether in a painting or in my life. And as for those paintings, I left my studio pleased with my newly re-created paintings. We'll see how they appear when I view them with fresh eyes today.

Wed Aug 24 2011 14:27 Children Formed by Plants or Objects :
I just discovered that you can search the USPTO's trademark registry by "design code", to find trademarks that use a certain graphical element. Furthermore, the design code classifications are fairly insane. Some choice quotes:
Excluding: Asian-Pacific men (02.01.11) and wizards (04.01.25) are not coded in this section.
02.01.04 Religious figures, men wearing robes, shepherds, monks and priests
02.01.32 Other men, including frogmen, men wearing space suits and men wearing monocles
02.03.25 Other women including hobos, women holding fans and women with weaponry
02.05.27 Other grotesque children including children formed by plants or objects
Mythological beings are cross-coded in the Human Category only when they are depicted as ordinary humans having no indicia of their mythological powers.
03.23.15 Micro-organisms (including sperms)
Only ladders which fold open to form a triangular profile are in 14.09.01. Other straight or extension ladders are in 14.09.02.
Clock radios are double coded in 16.01.03 and 17.01.02.
Concentric circles (26.01.17 and 26.01.18) and circles within a circle (26.01.20) are not considered three circles for purposes of coding.
Excluding: Asian-Pacific men (02.01.11) and wizards (04.01.25) are not coded in this section.

The issue of Domestic Violence is one that has moved to the fore front of police work over the last 15 years. Today violence within families is dealt with very severely by police agencies in New York State. New York State Law requires all police departments to have a pro arrest policy with regards to physical violence within family units and relationships. With the great increase in investigative work that this policy has created, our department has assigned one Detective to oversee these cases on a daily basis.
Detective Duane Wisniewski is assigned to review all cases of domestic violence that our department becomes involved in. Detective Kocieniewski works with the victims to help them steer their cases through the court process. He works closely with specially trained Assistant Erie County District Attorneys to make sure that justice is served in these cases.
Our department is proud to say that we were one of the first police departments to have a pro arrest policy in regards to family offenses and our policy is closely monitored to stay in compliance with the law as it evolves in this area.
New York State provides more detailed information on the problem of Domestic Violence. They also have a wide variety of information on how to spot Domestic Violence and what you can do to help yourself or someone else that is a victim of this type of criminal behavior.

$2,995 special: Will it rock the realty world?
The next time Scott Hiller sells a house, he's listing it with Assist-2-Sell, a new real estate brokerage challenging the notion that selling a house requires a six percent commission.
Hiller thinks a realtor who takes half an hour to show a $200,000 house and then walks away with $6,000– half of the standard six percent commission– is "a hard pill to swallow."
Anthony McGhee thinks so, too. That's why he opened an Assist-2-Sell franchise that boasts a $2,995 flat fee. And he says his phone has been ringing off the hook.
"The average commission on a house in Charlottesville is $10,000 to $15,000," says McGhee. "That's a lot to pay for what can be one day's work."
Sellers who chose the $2,995 flat rate get a sign on the lawn, advertising, and an agent to show the house. What the flat rate doesn't include is a commission for any other agent who might bring a buyer, and a listing in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which some realtors consider the single most valuable tool in selling a house.
For a 4-1/2 percent commission, Assist-2-Sell will put houses on the MLS. (Three percent goes to the agent who brings a buyer, and Assist-2-Sell takes a 1-1/2 percent cut.) Although both options are discount rates, McGhee insists the seller gets full service.
McGhee compares the real estate industry to the way stocks and bonds were sold 15 years ago, when people had to go through a broker. "That changed with [discount brokerage] Charles Schwab," he says.
If local real estate agents are quaking in their boots at the potential threat to their commissions, they're acting plenty cool.
"This is not new," says Pat Jensen, president of the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors. "We've been hearing about it for years, and it's one of several new business models."
She calls it "unbundling," and says many companies in the area are offering clients a menu of services rather than just the opportunity to pay the standard 6 percent commission. "I've done it myself," says Jensen, mentioning a time when a client had a buyer and wanted someone to write the contract for a flat fee. "This is not blind-siding us," she adds.
Jensen, a broker with Real Estate III, doesn't see Assist-2-Sell as a major threat to the traditional way of selling real estate. "Some people really want the MLS and like the way things have always been done. Others want change. It depends on who they are."
Now that Assist-2-Sell has opened the door, will realtors start slashing commissions? "I wouldn't think so," says Jensen.
Realtor Ray Caddell, whose ads tout him as the "hardworking nice guy," says, "You get what you pay for." Caddell says his Century 21 office finds most of the properties for clients through the MLS, a tool used by the approximately 800 agents in the area.
But wouldn't home sellers rather pay $2,995 than $12,000 to sell a $200,000 house?
"Yes, and so would I," replies Caddell. "But I'd rather drive a Mercedes Benz than a Yugo."
Caddell does not anticipate cutting his commission in light of the new kid in town but admits that's he's reduced it from time to time over the years. And he warns consumers to make sure they know what they're getting.
"Have you seen anything in their marketing materials that says, 'We're not in the MLS, and we're not offering a commission to the other 800 agents around for $2,995?'" he asks. "If they're so damn proud of it, stand up and say so."
McGhee doesn't think the MLS is worth a $15,000 to $20,000 commission. "Full service is not sticking a sign in the ground and putting a house on the MLS," he says. "I find it really surprising that the MLS is the one piece [local realtors] would use to say clients are not getting full service."
According to McGhee, active buyers are out there looking, and when a house sells one day after the sign goes up, buyers are finding it without the MLS.
Caddell contends that it's easy to sell a house in a hot market, but he wonders whether it will be so easy when sales cool off. And his experience with people who call in from an ad or a sign? "They almost never buy that house," he says.
Rives Bailey, an agent with Montague Miller, says he's sold quite a few houses in three days, and he credits the MLS as the most important tool in attracting buyers.
"It doesn't take a lot to sell a house if it's priced right," says Assist-2-Sell's McGhee. "That's full service."
And his satisfied client, Scott Hiller, concurs. "I didn't get any less service from their company than from any other real estate company," he says.
Rob Lynch, who works with McGhee at Assist-2-Sell, emphasizes that they want to work with realtors and to get fair compensation for those who bring buyers to the $2,995 listings.
"We're not going to put anybody out of business with this program," he says. "It just offers a seller alternatives."

Baseball Prospectus Press Release
BP Announces Free Public Access to Archives
Baseball Prospectus, owner of BaseballProspectus.com (BP), today announced it has made its entire archive of premium and fantasy content over one year old completely and permanently free to the public.
Hundreds of original articles from 1997 through 2010 are now available to the masses and will serve as a source of information to baseball analysts everywhere for years to come.
"It's our way of saying thank you to the Internet for making our work possible over the years," said Dave Pease, a partner at Baseball Prospectus.
For the first time, readers will be able to peruse the writings of some of Baseball Prospectus' most famous alumni including Keith Woolner (Cleveland Indians), Keith Law (ESPN), and Christina Kahrl (ESPN). Fans of the modern day staff will get their fill as well by digging into Kevin Goldstein's "Future Shock" series, Jay Jaffe's "Hit List," and Steven Goldman's "You Could Look It Up."
"Baseball Prospectus has been publishing cutting-edge baseball analysis for almost 15 years, from Voros McCracken's groundbreaking studies on the interaction of pitching and defense to Joe Sheehan's deconstruction of Jack Morris to the formative work of political analyst Nate Silver, and this material comprises not just a history of our publication but of the quest to transcend the tired received wisdom of mainstream baseball thought," said Steven Goldman, Baseball Prospectus Editor-in-Chief. "Now that we're making our archive easily available to the public, the reactionary Murray Chass types no longer have an excuse for ignorance. As Casey Stengel would have said, you can look it up."
25 comments have been left for this article.

So how do we access it?
May 23, 2011 08:29 AM
I'm glad this is happening... but any particular reason it is being done now as opposed to, say, the end of the year, or the end of the fiscal quarter or the end of the baseball season?

Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited about it too, and I'm happy you guys did this. Maybe I just can't deal with change as well in my old age, even if it's good change :)

Truth be told, we've been thinking about opening up the archives for some time. It's just that there have been a lot of higher priorities (like reengineering our stats and PECOTA!) in the way.
May 23, 2011 13:12 PM
What ever happened to Seidman? He worked with Swartz to build SIERA than disappeared into team-centric blogging?
May 23, 2011 13:38 PM
Wow. What a classy decision. And smart. The old stuff probably has limited commercial value, but retains its intellectual value.
May 23, 2011 13:28 PM
And America's productivity takes another hit. Seriously this is fantastic; actually as a subscriber I presumably had access anyway but opening up the vault, as it were, is great news. I could easily spend hours at a time scrolling through past articles.
May 23, 2011 13:41 PM
This is great and thank you!

So it's come to this: Vince McMahon makes his long overdue return to Raw tonight in Sacramento to deliver his State of the WWE address. One can only imagine that it will touch on the CM Punk-John Cena situation, but anything else is just conjecture. We're going live for three hours from the Power Balance Pavilion.
Injured arm and all, John Cena hits the ring in his pink ring gear to kick off the show. JBL has joined Michael Cole and Jim Ross to form a three-man booth. Cena says it took him a week off to figure out some of the things that have been going on in the WWE, including the weird relationship between the tag team champs and the fact that Antonio Cesaro has unusually large nipples. He also (jokingly?) asks AJ out on a date. But Cena says that no matter how loud it is in the arena, he and the fans have no voice thanks to CM Punk. John wonders what difference it makes if Punk holds the belt for 1000 days if no one wants to watch, and he suggests that if the two of them met at Hell in a Cell, it would be a moment to remember. Maybe the fans can convince Punk to change his stance? Cena wants Punk to be a man and face him at the PPV.
Match 1 � Ryback vs. Primo and Epico
The announcers reminisce about the way Punk backed down from Ryback last week. The tag team manages to keep Ryback off guard for a couple of minutes with double team tactics, but a slap to the face wakes Ryback up to strike back with some running clotheslines. He marches around with both men on his shoulders, and they both get Shell Shocked and pinned.
Brodus Clay looks like he's ready for a match, but R-Truth says Little Jimmy wants to dance first. He does, I guess, until Mr. McMahon appears on the big screen to ask Brodus to dance his way out of the ring. It's time for the State of the WWE address. After a commercial break, of course.
Vince is in the ring for his big address, which he kicks off by sounding like he is sarcastically approving things like invisible dancing kids and some of the more humorous gimmicks. But McMahon thinks the most important thing in the WWE is action, and that the fans want to see the best compete against the best. As if on cue, Punk (sporting a bright new official tee) and Paul Heyman come down the ramp. Vince thinks the new shirt is ugly, and he complains about the champ disrespecting him during the State of the WWE speech. CM thinks the opening remark was a shot against him for not facing Cena, but he reminds McMahon that he's already given Cena plenty of title shots. Of course, Punk is feeling disrespected by everyone, even the ironic fans who are chanting his name. Does Vince respect him? McMahon says he respects Punk's long title reign, but not the fact that he claims to be a Paul Heyman guy. And Vince isn't a CM Punk guy. The champ repeats his assertion that he's the best thing going in the company, and because of the rampant disrespect, he may just leave and not come back. McMahon responds that the success of the company isn't due to any one man, but because of the WWE Universe. He also says Punk is nowhere near the level of an Andre the Giant, a Bret Hart or a Stone Cold Steve Austin. Punk runs down the Rattlesnake, claiming he got his success by beating up an inept millionaire and calling him a senior citizen. Since Vince has been slapping CM in the face figuratively for years, Punk decides to literally slap the boss. McMahon wants to fire him, but he decides that showing Punk the meaning of respect by fighting him tonight would be a better idea. Even Heyman seems to think that's a bad idea, but the champ thinks everything is going to be fine.
Sin Cara flies out to the floor early but finds himself needing to hit a DDT out of desperation after the commercial break. Mysterio gets the tag and reclaims some of the momentum for his team. All four men end up in the ring, where Darren Young clobbers Sin Cara. But Mysterio is the legal man, and he hits Young with the 619 and drops the dime on him to get the win.
Heyman still seems uncertain about Punk taking on McMahon, not because he thinks his man won't win, but because he thinks Vince will spend all of his time and money making their lives miserable after he does. Punk tells his old friend to trust him.
This match barely even gets started before Big Show decides to make an appearance. He just watches from a seat next to the announce table as Sheamus slowly works over Barrett. A suplex gets him a near fall, and he knocks Barrett down to the floor with a knee shot. Wade manages to avoid a Brogue Kick on the apron, yanking the champ down to the floor. Commercial time. They battle on the outside, where Barrett kicks the stairs into Sheamus. Wade gets a two count back in the ring and keeps up his assault. Sheamus is hung up on the ropes to receive a big kick to the face, but he manages to kick out again at two. Barrett tries to drop an elbow off the top rope and comes up empty. Sheamus rallies with a series of moves that includes a running knee lift before pummeling Barrett with a series of shots to the chest. Tensai runs in and starts stomping away on the champ, and the ref throws out the match. Sheamus hits Tensai with a Brogue Kick, but Big Show catches him by the foot and dumps him over the top rope to land hard on the floor. Show smirks as he makes his way back up the ramp.
Punk and AJ have an uncomfortable little discussion that ends with the champ telling the GM that whatever happens tonight is on her pretty little head. Meanwhile, J.R. has left the announce table to try to talk Vince out of fighting Punk. And we see highlights of Cena's appearance on �Live! with Kelly and Michael.�
Apparently Cesaro doesn't like chili cheese fries. That's good to know. He stomps on Kidds' chest on the apron, then follows with a suplex. Kidd battles his way out of a neck crank only to get guillotined on the top rope and sent out to the floor. Kidd uses the ropes for a swinging kick and rolls up his foe for a two count. He misses with a springboard move, though, and a big uppercut leads to the Neutralizer to wrap things up for Cesaro.
Daniel Bryan and Kane do their bickering thing over who is the tag team champions. Or who are? This makes my head hurt. Kane has to tag himself in after Bryan refuses to give way, but Daniel returns the favor after Ziggler has been knocked to the outside. Time for a commercial, of course. Ziggler rallies after the break, and Bryan is scrambling to kick out of covers from both him and Del Rio. He takes a long beating from both of the heels until he's able to send Del Rio into the post shoulder first. Kane finally gets the hot tag to dish out some punishment, but Bryan tags himself back in. His missile dropkick almost puns Ziggler, but Del Rio makes the save. Ziggler is isolated and ends up getting a choke slam from Kane. Yep, that's the end for Dolph.
J.R. tries his best to dissuade McMahon from confronting Punk in the ring. Not only won't Vince be talked out of it, he wants to hear some classic Ross commentary lines right now. Ah, it's like a walk down memory lane. Still, J.R. thinks he's making a mistake... but it doesn't matter what he thinks! All catchphrases, all the time.
Match 6 � Zack Ryder and Santino Marella vs. Team Rhodes Scholars � Tag Team Number One Contenders Tournament Semifinal
Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes get off to a fast start, taking turns beating on Ryder. Santino tags in and looks for the Cobra, but Rhodes takes advantage of a distraction by Sandow to strike with the Disaster Kick. It's a quick pinfall to send the Rhodes Scholars to the final. After the bell, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre run down and do more damage to Marella. Also, they have good air guitar skills.
Backstage, Heyman apologizes to McMahon, or at least he seems to. He begs Vince to let him patch things up with the WWE Champion without a fight. Vince, please don't let Punk do to you what Brock Lesnar did to Triple H. #reversepsychology
Match 7 � Kaitlyn (challenger) vs. Eve (champion) � Divas Championship Match
Josh Mathews attempts to get Del Rio to pay attention to something that Randy Orton tweeted. Specifically, it's about Orton coming to SmackDown this Friday. Nope, still looks like he doesn't care.
Bryan talks to Larry King and his wife about being called names like an owl or a goat. Kane stops by and is surprised to learn it was King: He thought it was Skeletor! Elsewhere, Heyman acts like he's still talking Punk out of doing battle with McMahon, but he's actually trying to psych him up enough to hurt Vince badly enough that there's no chance of retribution. Now that's the Heyman we know and love.
Main Event � Vince McMahon vs. CM Punk
Wasting no time, Punk attacks McMahon from behind on the ramp. Needless to say, that gives the champ the upper hand. He snatches a headset to call some of his own commentary as he thrashes Vince over by the announce table. Punk gets a little too cocky, though, as McMahon recovers enough to send him into the post. Promising to teach CM about respect, Vince lays into him by the table before pulling a kendo stick from beneath the ring. Punk bugs out and asks Heyman to bring him his belt. Paul tries, but Vince clocks him with the stick and seizes the belt. The champ tries getting his own kendo stick but comes out second best in the stick-swinging battle. He begs off for a second, then shows his true colors with a low blow. Punk has both sticks now and goes to town on Vince. He calls for the Go To Sleep, but Ryback comes to the rescue. Naturally, Punk tries to leave, only Cena is behind him to chuck him back into the ring. Ryback hoists him and he narrowly escapes into the crowd. Not so fast, though, as Vince declares that it's decision time: At Hell in a Cell, Punk has the choice of facing Ryback or Cena. And if he doesn't decide by next week, Vince will pick for him. It's not often that a heel champion is in a no-win situation, but it doesn't look great for Punk. See you in seven!
Nick Tylwalk has decided to stop fighting the rise of Ryback, a.k.a. Goldberg II, and just go with it. Let him know if this is a wise move by hitting him up on Twitter, on Google+ or by email.

This is an excerpt from Defensive Football Strategies by the American Football Coaches Association.
First let me say that we feel defense is the key and essence to winning football. We will make any sacrifice in our program to help our defense. I would like to share our thoughts on how we prepare our defensive team during game week. The first thing we are concerned about is our opponent and the scouting that we have on our opponent. There are 12 basic things that we try to scout as we work to prepare a defensive game plan:
This is the information we want to know right off the bat as we get ready to prepare our game for the week. We naturally get most, if not all, of this information from films of our opponents. Daily Schedule: Defensive Game Week Sunday night we try to review our opponent's film. We make a great effort to get as much film as we possibly can. I think this is a lot easier and simpler than finding information any other way. The next thing that we do is to prepare the scouting report and give it to the players on Monday. The scouting report is a very interesting thing. I think there is a great misconception in football coaching about scouting reports. Some coaches feel they are going to give it to the players, the players are going to read it, they are going to study it, it's going to become like the Bible to them. Most players don't do that. They really don't absorb a fixed scouting report. We feel very strongly, as coaches, that the scouting report is our Bible. And constantly throughout the week we check back to the scouting report to see that we, as coaches, are getting prepared properly. We want to have the scouting report finalized by noon on Monday. Our defensive report runs about 30-35 pages. You might think that is a lengthy report, but may I say again that it is primarily for the coaches. Also, we want to finalize our game plan by noon. We feel strongly that you get the game plan finalized as soon as you possibly can. By Monday noon, we want to be sure that we stop their best plays. That is the key thing that we look for. We don't feel we can necessarily stop every play, but we certainly want to stop our opponent's base offense. There are six things we feel we must have as a defensive team when we go into every football game:

Samsung took a big leap into the emerging wearable tech space today with its new Galaxy Gear smart watch.
It's a symbolic move by Samsung. While everyone is talking about wearable personal computing gizmos, Samsung is the first major company to actually make one.
Meanwhile, Samsung's rivals Apple and Google are still in the development phases of their respective smart watches. Google is also developing a face-computer called Google Glass, but that gadget won't be available until next year.
But despite all the hype surrounding the Galaxy Gear today, there's one glaring problem with it. It only works with one Samsung phone, the soon-to-be-released Galaxy Note III. The Galaxy Gear won't work with other Galaxy phones like the Galaxy S4.
That's bizarre.
The Galaxy S4 is Samsung's flagship phone, a phone that's likely to sell far more units than the Note III, which is more expensive and has a giant screen that appeals to a limited audience. Meanwhile, Samsung plans to sell the Galaxy Gear watch for $300 on top of the ~$300 that the Galaxy Note III will cost. So if you want the full experience, you need to pay $600.
That leaves out a bunch of Samsung Galaxy phone owners. As many as 100 million of them, in fact. It means if you have a Galaxy S II, III, 4, or one of the older Galaxy Note phones, you're out of luck. Samsung says it plans to add Gear compatibility to other devices in its Galaxy family, but it's odd that it didn't at least include the flagship Galaxy S4 right from the start. The company is working on a software update for the Galaxy S4 and other Galaxy phones, but that software update has to be approved by carriers in the U.S. first. That could take a while. The only device guaranteed to work with the Galaxy Gear from the beginning is the Galaxy Note III.
And based on Samsung's history of providing software updates for its phones, there's a good chance some older Galaxy phones will never be compatible with the Galaxy Gear.
That's a shame. No matter what your first impressions of the Galaxy Gear are, Samsung is first to market, and it's making a big bet. Wearable technology is the next frontier in personal computing, but with the Galaxy Gear, Samsung isn't hitting the ground running. Instead, Samsung is severely limiting the number of people who will be able to use the Galaxy Gear on day one.
Based on that fact alone, it will be hard for the Galaxy Gear to be the blockbuster gadget Samsung wishes it could be. Even if the final product ends up blowing away reviewers, even if it truly is the revolution Samsung said it would be, most people won't be able to buy one.

I got this in an email this morning and find myself at a loss for words. These ladies are so boho stylish I'm literally drooling. Free People is one of those brands I've always loved but could rarely afford (sad life..) It's the brand that pretty much describes my style in one brand name - some of their pieces are, no doubt, way too bohemian for me to rock day to day but let's just pretend that these dreamy looks will soon to be my closet ladies.
Dream on Nina, dream on....
