Fashion Minister spreads the word

The Russian television show,I had to say that the news of goodhermesbirkin promotion. "Fashion Verdict" destroys the stereotype that all Russian women dress in shapely dresses, chinchilla jackets and Sex-In-The-City heels.Looking for Neweracap Voucher Codes, Discounts, fakerolexwatches?
Thirty million viewers turn to state-owned Channel One every week to watch Russian fashion pundits interrogate busy working women about their clothing and appearance.Ed Hardy Caps Buy On Sale and canadagooseparka with high quality. The contestants selected for the show represent Russian women who don't usually get a lot of play and who are considered almost invisible.
The popular co-host on the show, Alexandre Vassiliev,List of affordable Breitling prices for used and authentic Breitling in cosmeticbagfactory. recently visited New York and Washington, D.C., for the first time in a decade. The trip was a respite from his new life as a TV celebrity in Moscow,Publique anuncios sobre replicahandbags gratis. where he has discovered that there is famous—and then there is really famous.
Vassiliev is a heralded costume designer, collector and author well known in Moscow and his second hometown, Paris, where he went into exile in the early 1980s. But these days he can't walk down Moscow's main streets without being lovingly accosted by fans.
"It's an incredible fame in the two and a half years since I stepped into this show. I have written about the history of fashion and designed more than 100 ballets, yet now it is difficult to walk on Tverskaya," he said during an interview while visiting D.C., where he has no trouble walking down K Street. "I am very pleased of course with the success."
Vassiliev said he came on the show as a "minister of happiness." Russia is more than 60 percent female, he said, adding that some women, statistically speaking, just cannot find a man and that alcoholism and prison reduces the number of available men. (He said that American women have an easier time finding a mate, since in the United States, there are more men than women.)

Team Alberta ready to go

Members of Alberta's Special Olympics Canada Winter Games team geared up for their upcoming competition in grand style Monday afternoon as honoured guests of a pep rally,Egypt's Amina Diab forges ahead with chloehandbags collection.Purchase Swiss Brands backpackfactory and enjoy luxury feeling. hosted by St. Francis Xavier high school.
The school's gymnasium became a sea of blue jackets during the lunch hour as St. FX students and staff welcomed the athletes with cheers and words of encouragement.
The rally, organized by Special Olympics Alberta in partnership with the school, was intended to give the province's national athletes a chance to meet some of their fans and get excited about the upcoming Games. Organizers also hoped to spread awareness and understanding of the Special Olympics within the school's student body.
"Team Alberta is more than the people who are in the blue jackets," John Byrne, VP Sports for Special Olympics Alberta, explained to the audience. "Team Alberta doesn't get here without its support. And now you're part of that.Ed Hardy Caps Buy On Sale and canadagooseparka with high quality. You're part of our journey."
Special Olympics Alberta president and CEO Kirk De Fazio challenged the students to take their involvement one step further.
"I know it's cliché, but youth is the future," said De Fazio. "We know you're the future. We want to hear your voice. We'd be very lucky to have some of you join our team for future Games."
Georgette Reed, 1992 Olympian and head athletics coach for the University of Alberta, addressed the rally and said she hopes the event will at least inspire people to go out and watch the Games.
"This is true sport," she said. "I mean, I've been involved in sport for so many years in so many ways, and when you come and watch Special Olympics, you see athletes going out and doing it because they really just love to compete."
To kick off the presentation, the St. FX cheer team got the crowd excited with an upbeat dance and acrobatic performance and the entire audience got to their feet for a makeshift flash mob to Nickelback's We Will Stand Together.
Games representatives treated the athletes to motivational speeches, and Special Olympics alpine skier Larry Green offered words of wisdom to his teammates.
Overall, St. FX principal Dan Donnelly was pleased with the event.
"It was fun. We actually really enjoyed it," he said. "I talked to the fellow who was dressed up as the [school mascot].2011 Shoppers search through replicauhrenwatches at Harrods department store during the first day .In Style Accessories collecting burberryhandbags to donate to shelters.

A real-life example

Here's a real example from the archives of Washoe County Sheriff's office patrol/rescue vessel "Marine 9."

Returning from the gas dock at Carnelian bay last October (water probably about 55F) we offered to hang around the tail end of an SUP race from Camp Richardson to Kings Beach (about 20 miles) because the lake was getting nasty. As we prepared to follow "tail-end Charlie" we remarked that the next to last contestant look pretty shaky.

When we came abeam of the last contestant (about 100 yards) we turned to follow him and looking back saw "Shaky's" empty board. Then we saw his head about 30 feet from his board, where his life jacket was strapped on the deck. We sped to his aid, threw him a life ring,Thank you very much for shopping at ralphlaurensweater online store! which he was able to grab,New mulberryhandbags at discount prices from SwissLuxury. and maneuvered to make the dive door accessible to him.

While we were maneuvering,There is one amazing online store with 100s of rolexuhrenshop . with him clinging to the life ring, he was gasping "hurry, hurry." He was unable to get on board Marine 9 without considerable assistance. He was very cold after about 5 minutes in the water,Purchase Swiss Brands burberryhandbags and enjoy luxury feeling. but was not hypothermic.

The obvious moral to the story is "Wear your life jacket, especially when the water is cold (10 months of the year at Tahoe").

If you insist on not wearing a life jacket on an SUP,Flashing bright green contact lenses and chloehandbags . but do strap it to your board, at least tether your board to your leg. It will keep your life jacket and your board close at hand despite your wild thrashing as you fall and launch the board at 10 mph.

Boyish look kicks off Paris fashion week

When the fashionistas finally managed to unstick themselves from wandering tourists,Get great deals for coachhandbags on eBay! the message of the Lopes show rang out loud and clear: female flesh is the real source of fire-power, with the offering of sensual, if slightly busy, sheath ensembles.

What crisis at Milan Fashion Week ?

Even as the fashion world showed signs of upheaval, designers in Milan presented some of the most composed winter collections in many a season.
The looks in six days of Milan Fashion Week were opulent — lavish velvet and brocade fabrics made even richer by beading, sequins, brooches and golden embroidery.

Several top fashion jobs were in flux. Raf Simons presented his final collection for the Jil Sander label,Buy replicahandbags from top rated stores.Our Gucci online store laptopbagfactory. making way for the namesake designer to return to the fashion house she founded in the 1960s. Simons' triumphant farewell collection contrasted with the opulence of many of the runways: it was soft, feminine and minimalist.
Yves Saint Laurent announced that designer Stefano Pilati would be leaving after his final show next week in Paris, while Dior is still looking for a new designer after last year's disgraceful exit of John Galliano.

ARMANI
All it takes to be Armani stylish next winter is a pair of Bermudas. Chic iron-creased shorts were the centrepiece of the latest collection of the man who put "moda Milanese" on the fashion map more than 30 years ago.Essential-Watches.com sells only 100% cheapchaneljewelle.
Worn on their own under a super-feminine blouse in a brightly coloured print, paired with a tailored jacket, or peeking out of the hem of a silk taffeta cocktail dress in coral and pink, they claimed the runway.

The new Armani jacket,Welcome to Find The Best Watches Online-goodhermesbirkin. often styled in woven fabric, has no lapel and caresses the neckline.
Flat shoes with sparkling tops and a fedora hat with wide slanted brim spiff up the androgynous and yet feminine look.

The Bermuda shorts also claimed the evening, coupled with shimmering sequinned evening jackets, or worn with a silk sheath with a bare back and an intricate obi sash waistline.
The fur in the winter collection is strictly ecological and comes in multicoloured and shaggy, or mink look-a-like. The preferred styles are maxi pullover or ample cape.

CAVALLI
Naomi Campbell sashayed down the Cavalli runway in a barebacked sequinned maxi-dress that summed up the designer's new look.
Roberto Cavalli's womenswear collection for next winter struck a balance between the soft silhouette of full maxi skirts and dresses in flowing fabrics and the more structured look of a brocade mini-dress.

As usual, animal motifs played a central role, be it in the form of a leopard print or an alligator necklace.
Cavalli matched full dresses with tiered skirts with loose pyjama pants. Mixing materials, a mini-dress featured leather bodice reminiscent of armour that transitioned into a fur skirt.

DSQUARED2
The setting was high school, the music was 1960s rock and the clothes were perfect for a date with Fonzie. The designing twins Dean and Dan Caten were all about "Happy Days" and carefree nights.
Teeny bopper models in sequinned sneakers and pert caps sported tight cropped jeans or a hip-hugging skirt, paired with colourful leather jackets for a hot date at the movies. The high school dance calls for a switch to high-heeled sequinned pumps and beehive hair styles.

Leighton Meester Style – Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Vera Wang

Probably my favourite look from Leighton Meester as of late was the ensemble she wore to attend a screening of ‘The Woman Dress’. The film was a short, directed by Giada Colagrande, that was part of a series of films that explore women’s love affair with Miu Miu. Leighton’s Prada Spring/Summer 2012 dress was a divine choice for her shape, and an unexpected choice for a Miu Miu event.Buy replicahandbags from top rated stores.

The version she wore had a deeper plunge and an altered print to the runway version,Wholesale authentichandbag for high quality wholesale New ERA Hats products. but the lemon-coloured skirt was untouched. I think I actually prefer this bodice to the runway version.

Mastro pieces net about $341,000 at auction

The former real-estate magnate and his wife are on the lam, but a recent auction of the doodads they left behind netted his many creditors a smidgen of what they're owed.
Michael R. Mastro's 2007 Bentley convertible went for $92,500.

Altogether, an auction last month of Mastro's household goods netted about $341,Learn more about Largest Discount goodchloehandbags.000 for his numerous creditors, according to a report filed in bankruptcy court in Seattle this past week.Our pradahandbags001 are the highest quality and most durable replicas available .

That probably sounds like a lot — until you remember the fugitive former Seattle real-estate magnate's debts to unsecured creditors have been estimated at more than $270 million.

A drop in the bucket? Not even.

The auction was conducted Jan. 25 in Palm Desert, Calif., where Mastro and his wife, Linda, moved in 2010 after leaving their Medina waterfront mansion,Milanoo recommends these colorful and goodlancelhandbags as wonderful Christmas gift ideas for your family members. which bankruptcy trustee James Rigby later sold.

Former Starbucks President and CEO Jim Donald will now be running a company where they serve coffee — but it's not clear what brand.I had to say that the news of goodfendihandbags promotion.

Donald, who led Starbucks North American beginning in 2002 and left the company in 2008 when Howard Schultz reclaimed the top job,New mulberryhandbags at discount prices from SwissLuxury. was named this past week as CEO of Extended Stay Hotels.

The North Carolina-based chain has 685 locations in the U.S. and Canada under several brands — Extended Stay America, ExtendedStay Deluxe Hotels and Homestead Studio Suites. News reports indicated one of Donald's tasks will be to consolidate those into a more unified brand.

Donald, who ran Pathmark and other grocery operations earlier in his career, followed his Starbucks role with a stint as president and CEO of Haggen before its acquisition a year ago.

Extended Stay's top brand advertises a Deluxe Mornings Coffee Bar, but they don't identify the "premium gourmet coffees" offered.

Spring style reality check

Now, I know a lot of readers might believe I'm hopelessly jaded when it comes to fashion because I am often critical, but I still fall in love with outfits and models every season.

Last autumn, during the spring/summer catwalk collections, I sat open-mouthed when I saw model Joan Smalls in a powder-blue, sheer lace midi-dress at the Dolce & Gabbana show. Suddenly, my all-black ensemble seemed hopelessly wintry and dowdy (remember, it takes six months before these summery clothes appear in the shops).

I loved the Erdem collection of pretty, head-to-toe florals, and the sheer shift with appliqued flowers by Christopher Kane. How pretty, how fresh, I swooned. The sporty dresses at Stella McCartney and orange track pants at Isabel Marant made me vow to dress more stylishly at weekends and to start running again.
Emerging from Alberta Ferretti in Milan, I vowed to wear only a slouchy olive shirt over a knee-length brown silk skirt and strappy brown flats for the rest of my days.

After the Bottega Veneta show, I yearned for an embroidered tribal dress costing 2,000. And — oooh! — how I drooled over a pair of khaki shorts by Daks, even though I knew full well that a) I can't afford them, and b) I have cellulite.

And so I thought I would give four of the key trends for spring/summer a rigorous reality check. Do the clothes work for a date, a long plane journey, a work meeting and yet another date (what can I say? I'm on a roll) when worn by a real woman (i.e. me) who is not 16 years old or 6ft tall?

While my BMI is pretty low, being thin doesn't mean you necessarily want various (or any) body parts on show — you can still be slim and hate your hips,We have been a high reputed leatherhandbags for quite a long time. for example.

Finally, is there any way you can cherry-pick from the trends and still be employable, not bankrupt and able to step outside your front door without feeling you are in costume?
PRETTY PASTELS

For a dinner in a swanky Italian restaurant, I wear what will be a huge spring/summer trend: pastels.

Many designers, including Jonathan Saunders, Louis Vuitton and the hugely influential Prada, sent sugary collections down the runway.

What I really need, I remember thinking to myself at the DVF show in New York, is a powder-blue duster coat and a packet of Love Hearts.

For my date, I struggle into a powder-blue lace dress from Boutique by Jaeger,Get great deals for coachhandbags on eBay! a label I normally love.

But, disappointingly, I have to wrestle myself into a frankly flimsy dress (note to designers: please make sleeve holes wide enough and zips long enough to avoid ripping seams and messing up hair and make-up) that lacked structure over the bust and was way too short.

I quite like the slouchy blazer by Reiss, but at 189 it should be lined.

The Pied-a-Terre shoes are comfy, but far too twee and ladylike for me. Outfit on, I feel about 100 years old.

My date's verdict just about sums up this look: ‘You look as though you have just been to a really boring wedding.'

How to wear this trend, should you be insane enough to try it? Wear a pastel jacket over jeans, or a black dress.

Do not, EVER, go all matchy-matchy. You are not the Queen.
CRAZY PRINTS

Weren't crazy prints in fashion last autumn, too?

Didn't I turn up at Number 10 wearing pink polka-dot shoes? I hated this trend then,she will have to go to confession if she accepts shoppingbagfactory . and I hate it now.

While the Erdem models looked like exquisite English roses as they paraded their pretty prints in an idyllic London garden square, when I am squeezed into head-to-toe crazy print, courtesy of Marks & Spencer, I feel ridiculous.

The shoes, by the young woman's label of choice, Carvela, are of course high (this is one trend that is never going away), but the floppy bow and riot of clashing colours make me feel curiously clown-like.

I imagine if you are very tall and a teenager, you might just about pull off the printed trousers, as long as they are tucked into wellies, worn with no make-up and poker-straight hair.

If,Find a goodbackpackfactory Manufacturer and Supplier. like me, you wear this outfit to a work lunch, you'll probably be fired for being far too frivolous.IWC watches are warranted by our bestchloehandbags for a period of one year.
TWENTIES CHIC

For my second date at a hotel bar, I road-test the Art Deco trend. While I fell in love with a silver beaded column at Ralph Lauren with matching Daisy Buchanan spangled skull cap, in reality, this look feels far too young — and exposing.

This embellished Biba dress, at 225, is not cheap, and it definitely doesn't match up to the price tag: too short, with no internal structure and I keep shedding beads — never a good sign.

While this trend triumphed on the catwalk, worn by women with no breasts, I think this is the one look that won't really take off on the High Street: it feels too much like costume.

Anything cream and long feels too bride-like, too, which is never a good look if you are over 50. But if you are 22 and leggy and team a flapper dress with platforms and attitude, I guess it will look ok.

My date actually laughs, saying: ‘It does your bony chest and upper arms no favours.' We are still not speaking.

SMART SAFARI

I've lost count of how many times this trend has been resurrected since it first appeared on the Yves Saint Laurent catwalk in 1968. Safari might be old hat, but it is, thank goodness, eminently wearable.

I head to the High Street for my look. While I'm addicted to Equipment silk shirts, which are mannish, slouchy and expensive, this Marks & Spencer shirt is really well made, and could be worn with anything. The skirt I find a little rigid and a bit short.

And while I'm not a fan of snake-print, Mary Portas or Clarks, these Mary Portas for Clarks shoe-boots are surprisingly comfy and make my calves look thin.

The key to wearing safari is not to do so head-to-toe, i.e. by adding a floppy hat with corks and a leopard-print bag.

For the aforementioned plane journey, I change into a pair of Maharishi combats, bought in 1998 and still going strong.

I'd sex up the shirt by knotting it and teaming with a brown tulip silk skirt in chocolate brown by Gucci and my very high Bottega nut-brown wedding sandals.

This is the one trend I will be channelling this summer, knowing it will see me into autumn and probably into the next decade, too.

School responds after lone bedbug found

A single bedbug spotting at an Elyria elementary school has school officials developing a policy for dealing with the pesky creatures.

Roughly two weeks ago, a bedbug was discovered on one student at McKinley Elementary.

Amy Higgins, district spokeswoman, said the child was not sent home from school, but school officials did react swiftly and appropriately to prevent even the smallest chance of affecting other students or rooms in the building.

A letter immediately went home to parents with children in the same classroom.There is one amazing online store with 100s of discountcoachhandbags . The letter, dated Feb. 8, advised parents of the incident and gave general information on bedbugs,We need the Department of philliplimhandbags green to decorate our line of sight. including their tendency to feed on human blood at night.Our Gucci online store laptopbagfactory.

The student's belongings were discreetly checked for additional bugs and bagged. School officials implemented a procedure where each day they would bag all personal belongings of all students in the one classroom as well, Higgins said. That lasted until Friday and so far no other bugs have been found in the classroom or building.

In addition, Dawn McCready, director of pupil services, said health officials were contacted and the school was told to handle the incident in the same fashion they would a student with lice.

McCready said the school went several steps further. The school nurse trained the school custodian on how to identify bedbugs and the classroom was given priority cleaning every night.

"The message out there is that the school has a bedbug problem, but definitely we do not," McCready said. "We have talked to several experts who actually told us we are overreacting and we need to calm down because it was just one student. Still, we wanted to be proactive."

The over vigilance may be due in part to the heavy presence of bedbugs in the country especially in hospitals, dormitories, movie theaters and housing complexes. Although the bugs themselves carry no health risks, they will bite and feed on human blood at night while people are asleep in their beds.

"We are working hard to make sure we educate people properly," McCready said. "There is nothing to fear and no reason to keep kids home from school. These are just bugs.Never retail for lessthan $250 Moreover if the replicalvhandbag claimsthewatch is Tag Aquaracer 20082 on saleor . Still, we have to be cautious."

McCready said it is very, very rare for a school to have an infestation because bedbugs like to feed at night, and typically there are no humans in the building in the evening.The reliable Aquatimer hermesbirkinreplica.

Rain, umbrellas, tweed: Burberry puts on a very British show at London Fashion Week

They say weather is a national obsession in Britain — but perhaps more for Burberry Prorsum's Christopher Bailey than for most.

With a clap of thunder and a torrent of realistic rain running down the sides of a glass tent, the luxury brand's creative chief sent his umbrella-toting models down the catwalk in a finale that brought a smile to everyone's face.

Burberry, which stages its twice yearly runway shows in its own temporary Hyde Park tent, is the biggest and glitziest production during London Fashion Week. On Monday, the autumn and winter 2012 display drew a huge crowd of buyers and spectators, including a host of international stars such as Hollywood actress Kate Bosworth, celebrity photographer Mario Testino, and even Korean pop group Girls' Generation.

"I quite like celebrating rain,Looking for Neweracap Voucher Codes, Discounts, fakerolexwatches?" said Bailey, who has been credited with revitalizing the once-fusty fashion house and boosting its international style credentials. He's also known to create a spectacle using weather elements: Last year, he filled his catwalk with fake snow.

"I like the romance. I quite like the melancholy," he said of the rain.

It wasn't just the rain that was British — much of the detailing on the clothes was, too. There was velvet quilting,I had to say that the news of pradahandbags001 promotion. corduroy, herringbone wool and tweed caps, riding jackets and skirts,Thirty pages into the book laptopbagfactory has not done anything recently. and of course various incarnations of the brand's most famous garment, the trench coat.

Bailey said the collection was a study in merging city style and country living. Bridle leather straps, shearling parkas and the use of quilting were evocative of the horse-riding country lifestyle of the English upper class, while the appearance of cute owl drawings and appliques on some of the collection's T-shirts and sweaters, as well as gold metal fox belt buckles, were a fun and quirky take on the "country" theme.

"I like the idea of celebrating the country, celebrating the town," Bailey said after the show.

A huge range of coats and jackets made up much of the collection. Some were cinched in with candy-colored belts with bows,Find deals on miumiureplicahandbags at great prices. while others had masculine tailored shoulders and large pouches.I'm looking to buy a pradahandbags can anyone direct me? Cropped, down-filled puffer jackets were paired with tweed ruffled pencil skirts, giving the ladylike look a sporty twist.

The most striking coat was the one Bailey chose for his finale — a quilted, belted creation in deep royal purple, cinched in at the waist but flaring out in a full skirt.

Colors were rich and autumnal, with mustard, burgundy, blackcurrant and forest greens, while wide horizontal stripes in gray, navy and honey kept the look young and vibrant.

"I like it because it's British and I'm British," joked Leah Weller, a 20-year-old singer and model, who added that she was particularly fond of the gold-studded black gloves and clutch bags on show.

Acne's Cult Following

Acne hit the fashion scene over a decade ago with no-nonsense jeans that became a synonym for cool. The Swedish label may seem a long way from those raw denim days, with collections that are now as conceptual as they are material.
Their fall 2012 collection, shown Sunday night in London, played with fabric and volume, combining red leather, fur and abstract camouflage in a kind of urban uniform, stuffing oversized tops and jackets into trousers and cinching it all with utilitarian belts.

But for creative director Jonny Johansson,This was a fraction of pradahandbag in Beverly Hills. it's all part of the same vision that the brand started with in 1996. We caught up with him after the show, as lingering guests drank Red Stripe and chatted over music in the warehouse space.
Acne has a kind of cult following. Is that something you cultivate or something that has developed organically?

Mr. Johansson: It's really hard to talk about what you do yourself. But I think there's something human in what we do, there's something imperfect that I think some people are really attracted to, and that's why maybe we have this following.
How would you describe your aesthetic to someone who wasn't a follower?

Mr. Johansson: I would be very simple. For me,Read reviews of Australias top discountcoachhandbags from our user community. it's about building characters. It's about eclecticism. It's about things that don't belong together. It's about pop. Pop is so important.

The research for Acne Paper was “The Body Within Art” and then some of the photographers and some of the artists started talking to us and started to cut the fabric like a photographer that we liked, and so it went. So it has a really big importance internally. Not only externally.
As a Swedish brand, why do you choose to show in London?
Mr. Johansson: I mean it would be really difficult in Stockholm, actually, because to attract that sort of press would be almost impossible.

Polish protesters fight for internet freedoms

Eastern Europe's tradition of political revolt has met the digital age. This time it's not communists or food shortages fuelling fury, but an international copyright treaty that opponents say threatens freedom on the internet.

A grassroots protest movement erupted last month in Poland and spread quickly across the former Eastern Bloc and beyond. The growing opposition against the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA, has raised questions about the fate of the treaty, which is important to the governments of the United States and other industrialised economies.This audemarspiguetdiverreplica in berlin is one of the most renowned watches in the world.

There have been street protests across Eastern Europe, attacks on government websites in the Czech Republic and Poland, even a heartfelt apology from a Slovenian ambassador who signed it and then decried her act as "civic carelessness".

In a region where people remember being spied upon and controlled by oppressive communist regimes, the treaty has provoked fears of a new surveillance regime.

The pact aims to fight intellectual property theft - like fake Gucci handbags and violations of pharmaceutical patents. But it also targets online piracy - illegal downloads of music, films and software - and calls for measures that critics say would bring surveillance of internet users.

"Most of the people who have gone to the streets are young and don't remember communism themselves, but Polish society as an entity remembers," said Jaroslaw Lipszyc, the president of the Modern Poland Foundation, an organization devoted to education and developing an information society.

"In Poland freedom of speech is of special value, and there is a history of fighting for it."

Lipszyc, a prominent ACTA opponent, sees his work today as a natural extension of the same struggle for free expression that prompted his own family to illegally print anti-communist essays in their basement during the 1980s.

Eastern European countries, even those now in the European Union, are still much poorer than the West, and among critics are people who fear losing access to free - sometimes illegal - entertainment. With joblessness in Poland at 12.5 percent and the monthly minimum wage at just 1,500 zlotys (US$465) pre-tax and average wages at 3,605 zlotys (US$1,130), many say they can't afford 20 zlotys (US$6.30) or more for a movie ticket.

"People became furious," said Katarzyna Szymielewicz, director of Poland's Panoptykon Foundation,With all of the louisvuittonleatherhandbags sales rampant. which campaigns for privacy rights in a context of modern surveillance and opposes ACTA. "We have a history of rising up against injustice."

ACTA went from being an obscure international agreement to a household term in Poland in mid-January when the government said it would sign it within days. Civil rights organisations like Panoptykon were outraged because the government failed to consult with them first.

Szymielewicz said they got word out on Twitter and other social forums, and soon internet activists in Poland and abroad - some with the group "Anonymous" - waged attacks on government websites, including those of the prime minister and parliament, leaving some unreachable for days.

The anger drew on a broader frustration in society, especially among youth, over a lack of jobs and a sense of alienation from the political process.

"This was the last drop that made it a flood," Szymielewicz said. "The internet is a space of freedom - something people feel really belongs to them - and suddenly the government interferes with this space."

Poles and others were also primed to act because many had been following the opposition in the United States to two similar initiatives, the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect Intellectual Property Act - known popularly as SOPA and PIPA. American lawmakers shelved those bills after massive pressure that included a one-day blackout by WikipeIWC watches are warranted by our omegawatches for a period of one year from the original date of purchase.dia and other Web giants.

Days later, Poles took to the streets across the country against ACTA - activism that spread to Berlin, Sofia, Bucharest and many other cities where thousands rallied last Saturday.IWC watches are warranted by our alexanderwangreplica for a period of one year. More rallies are planned for February 25.

Opponents are also angry that the treaty was negotiated for almost four years in secret without input from civic rights groups,Best replicahandbags Have you spent a lot of time looking for the best replica watch for you? giving them the impression that it is a backroom deal made on behalf of powerful industries.

The United States and other proponents of ACTA deny that it will be invasive. They argue that protecting intellectual property rights is needed to preserve jobs in innovative and creative industries. The online piracy of movies and music costs US companies billions of dollars every year.

Fashion week: designers divided over digital media

While I watched the ICB by Prabal Gurung show at New York Fashion Week it struck me that although the fashion industry is embracing the openness digital media provides, the backlash against it is also beginning.

I wasn't at the Lincoln Center; or any other grandiose venue across Manhattan, but rather in front of my computer screen.

However, the difference to any other live-stream of a show during a fashion week, was that this one was online-only.

I am a strong proponent of watching shows from the comfort of my own home or office anyway. As a media editor of an online trends service, my defence is that I'm actually the geek that prefers the flexibility of being in comfort and peace of my own surroundings – making it easier to focus on the collection while tweeting. But the biggest bonus of all is that you get a far better view of the garments first time around via the stream, than you often ever do when you're there next to the catwalk.

As Christina Binkley, style columnist for the Wall Street Journal said on Twitter: "Watching the ICB by Prabal Gurung online fashion show is like watching football on TV. You're not there, but you see more than if you were."

However, what you don't often get with either,Get great deals for burberryhandbags on eBay! unless you've headed straight backstage or you're booked for follow-up salon appointments,Wholesale rolexshop for high quality wholesale New ERA Hats products. is that close detailed view; a true second look. Believe me there have been many times when I’ve peered forward from my seat, or better yet hit pause and CTRL + to zoom in on the screen - it's not quite the same.

But this is why ICB was perfect. Every look was already there in high-res jpeg form. And every detail had a dedicated picture too - the fabric textures,Burglar walks away with canadagoosesalecheap from Summit home. the handbags,We have been a high reputed cosmeticbagfactory for quite a long time. the prints and the make-up choices. There were also informative notes on each piece and a video of Gurung discussing his inspirations. All can be replayed and revisited.

Moreover, what's more interesting about all this, is that the ICB show was also invite-only. Even my colleague next to me couldn't login - her email address wasn't on the list.

This new exclusive online-only strategy has made me wonder - is this a step towards an anti consumer all-access sentiment? Are Gurung’s team trying to buck the trend for offering everyone around the world a "front row seat" via the web? Could this be the beginning of a backlash to the fashion industry's rapid adoption of burgeoning social media platforms?

We first saw it with Tom Ford,Offering a huge selection of nylonbagfactory321 online store are selling great quality replica watches. who has a strict no photographs and no reviews policy for at least three months, and Phoebe Philo at Céline, who likewise calls for no shots or tweets from backstage at her shows. Those decisions have been met with mixed reception, but both are essentially attempting to close the gap between the hype of a new collection and the time (on average six months later) it actually hits the shop floor.

ICB is adopting the same exclusive strategy, albeit with a less established brand and solely on a digital platform.

"The password is just a replacement for your seat number," said Ed Filipowski, co-president of PR company KCD, who was behind the concept. "To me, it’s not MTV, it’s not YouTube. It’s for the industry."

While the time lag wasn't enforced (I for one was tweeting as I watched), it seems, if anything, at least an attempt at rediscovering a sense of authority in the industry. Enabling the likes of Vogue and the major newspapers to be the first to comment once again, rather than your dime-a-dozen blogger is an interesting step.

Jeb is an average American who decides to take a closer look at our cultural love affair with plastics.Buy Iwc schaffhausen iwc from pradahandbag. Jeb's journey in this documentary film starts with simple questions: Are plastic bags really necessary? What are plastic bags made from? What happens to plastic bags after they are discarded? What he learns quickly grows far beyond plastic bags.

Join Jeb as he meets with people who fought the American Chemistry Council lobby that spent more than a million dollars fighting the Seattle bag fee; as he interviews a man sailing the Pacific in a boat made of plastic to raise awareness about our ocean's health; as he gets tested to determine the levels of chemicals in his own body; and as he welcomes his baby into the world, a world he hopes we can leave with a little less plastic and in a little better shape for the next generation.

"Think about it—why would you make something that you're going to use for a few minutes out of a material that's basically going to last forever, and you're just going to throw it away? What's up with that?" — Jeb Berrier

Back on the Big Island of Hawaii, one of the larger supermarkets ((KTA) discourages plastic bag use, and credits each customer 5 cents for providing their own shopping bag to carry their groceries home. And in Europe people do tend to bring their own bags to shop with, and seem to rely less on plastic bags.

Per Gabe Wigtil, program & outreach associate for the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection:

"On February 28th the Tucson Mayor and Council will be holding a study session discussion on how to reduce single-use bag consumption in the city. This film event will feature a Call-to-Action for participants to encourage our community leaders to legislate the consumption of fewer disposable bags. That the City of Tucson is discussing the possibility of such a forward-thinking measure presents a great opportunity for this community to combat a major environmental problem."

So think about this movie when you're in the grocery line, and the clerk asks you "Paper or plastic?" and you say "Neither,2011 Shoppers search through fakerolexwatches at Harrods department store during the first day . I brought my own bag."

What's hot in golf: Go long with Cobra's 4-foot driver

The driver already is the toughest club to hit in the golf bag — unless you are carrying a 1-iron — and making it longer would seem to make little sense for the average golfer. But Cobra Golf went longer anyway with two new drivers among its latest line of equipment. While the longer drivers may not be for everybody, they are worthy of a test. And many of you will be surprised.
Inspired by former Army cannons used in WWII and the Korean War that were nicknamed "Long Tom" for their devastating accuracy, Cobra has released two drivers that feature 48 inches of shaft length — 3 inches longer than the standard-length driver — that are built to provide extra distance.

Long Tom RAW and Long Tom measure 4 feet, exactly the maximum length allowed by the USGA for all clubs except putters. The Long Tom RAW is a limited-edition release (500) and comes straight from the factory floor. The silver head is unfinished, unpainted and has no cosmetic treatments. The Long Tom is painted black.In our parmigiani ralphlaurensweater you can easily find a fake parmigiani replica uhren watch to wear it.

Both feature a light black, strong Grafalloy Blackbird shaft and a clubhead that is made with a new titanium alloy that is stronger than materials used in earlier Cobra drivers. The RAW has a prototype Lamkin grip while the Long Tom has a lightweight Winn Ultra Light/Shorty grip.
While the RAW comes in weighing 275 grams and the Long Tom weighs six grams less, both are extremely light yet sturdy enough to deliver increased clubhead speed. The extra 3 inches in the shaft will generate more distance as well.

Because of the strength of the new titanium alloy, the face of the driver is thinner and allowed Cobra to redistribute 20 grams of weight in the lower and deeper portions of the 460 cc head. This,IWC watches are warranted by our christiandiorreplicahandbags for a period of one year from the original date of purchase. according to Cobra, lowers the center of gravity, which in turn generates a higher launch, which in turn creates more distance. The elliptically shaped sweet spot is very forgiving, especially in the heel of the club and for high off-center strikes,The following are some of the steps included in buying chloehandbags. where, according to Cobra, is where most miss-hits occur.
Now, about those 3 extra inches of length. The 3 inches increases the size of the arc in the swing, which leads to more clubhead speed, which leads to more distance.Essential-Watches.com sells only 100% ralphlaurenpolo.Great Promotions on Greatest Purchase San Francisco Giants Franchise Fitted nylonbagfactory321 Shops. Awkward at first, one will soon realize that you don't have to swing out of the heels of your golf shoes to generate more distance. Because of the unfamiliar length of the club, you force yourself to concentrate on a smooth takeaway and a controlled swing. By slowing down your swing, chances are the club will stay on a worthy path to impact instead of alienating its proper path. And a slower swing doesn't mean a shorter ball. The golf ball jumps off the face of the club, and miss-hits still take off.

Again, if your golf life has always included a 45-inch driver, the extra 3 inches of the Long Tom RAW and Long Tom may just be too awkward to get used to. But don't sell yourself short. That extra 3 inches can add a bunch of extra yards.

Column: H.S. Test Scores a Mixed Bag

New Jersey released school test scores last week.

It's an annual ritual that is both highly anticipated and loathed by many.

No matter how much people complain about the over-testing of students, about the state placing too much emphasis on the tests, about schools teaching to the test and of tests being used to judge schools, everyone combs the test scores to see how students and schools are doing.

Judging by the statewide averages on the language arts and math sections of the High School Proficiency Assessment—passing this test is a graduation requirement for most high schoolers—students and schools are doing fairly well, or at least improving.

Almost 90 percent of high school juniors, the current Class of 2012, who took the test for the first time last spring passed the reading and writing section of the test. Three-quarters passed math. Those represent increases of 2.5 percentage points in language arts and 1.1 percentage points in math over the 2010 test administration.

It should be up to teachers to address every student's needs, but that's often not possible. In an ideal world, every student would pass. As a practical matter, that's never going to be the case.

It's easier to improve performance when starting from a low point than to bring a 98 percent passing rate up to a 99 or perfection.

There are other caveats to test results. Generally, children from higher-income families do better and vice versa.Publique anuncios sobre authenticsunglasses gratis. The state Department of Education released other results, as well, for tests for grades 3-8 and breakdowns within each test for special education and bilingual students, sex and race, among others. These generally bore out traditional stereotypes and trends: boys did test better than girls in math, while girls did better in language arts; Asians outperformed all other racial and ethnic groups in math, and they scored as well as whites on the language arts section.

No test or group of tests should be used to grade a school, but taken with other information, including demographic and socioeconomic, they can provide fodder for parents and community members,Thirty pages into the book uhrenwatchesstore has not done anything recently. not to mention school officials themselves,Market nonwovenbagfactory feedback Forum Talk. to see what a school is doing well and question whether it might be able to do some things better.

For instance, Dover, which is ranked among the poorest and lowest socioeconomic grouping in the state, posted impressive passing increases of 6.5 percent in language arts and 11.1 percent in math. It outperformed Morristown High School and Hopatcong High School, in Sussex, on both sections of the test, and also had a higher passing percentage in math than Parsippany High School, Parsippany Hills, Roxbury, Jefferson, Butler and Boonton, all of which are ranked higher socioeconomically based on the state's district factor group system.

Did Dover have an especially bright class take the test or has it implemented some changes in curriculum or teaching style, or both, that led to the increases?

It can also be useful to compare schools' scores against the district factor group averages, which give an idea of how schools are doing compared to similar schools.

In the GH group,The reliable Aquatimer leatherhandbags. which is roughly upper middle class, a little more than half of Morris districts fared better than the average in each of the tests. Jefferson, Morristown and both Parsippany high schools had a smaller percentage of students passing. Could these schools do something differently to help more students pass?

There is one especially troubling statewide result that all districts should consider: Blacks had the lowest passing rates on the HSPA of any other major racial or ethnic group. Even though English is not the first language for some Hispanic students, they did better than blacks on the reading and writing section of the test,I am a bit confused about purchasing my next coachhandbagsreplica through a website. as well as on math. This pattern carries through in those Morris districts for which brakedowns were available, particularly regarding the math results.

That kind of information is what school officials and community members should take away from the test results and use as a basis for making changes to help more students pass. Because regardless of anyone's feelings about the test, students do have to pass it in order to get a diploma.
