Romantic Bedrooms: How To Decorate For Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is just a couple of weeks away now and before you know it, the big day will be at your doorstep. Of course, there are those among us who feel that every day is a celebration of love. We completely concur with that idea. But why miss out on another special opportunity that allows you to rekindle your passionate love while the rest of the world gets tangled in a web of scarlet hearts and fanciful flowers? It is the perfect opportunity to take a break from the mundane and let flames fly one more time. And what better place for a magical culmination of the Valentine’s Day celebrations than a dreamy, romantic bedroom?!

Valentines Day romantic bedroom decorating ideas Romantic Bedrooms: How To Decorate For Valentines Day

To create a romantic bedroom that plays the grand stage for your magical Valentine’s Day celebrations is not all that hard. In fact, there are plenty of ways in which you can do this on a budget, and extravagant ideas are not the only option. Here are a few simple decorating tips that transform the ambiance of the bedroom and set the mood not just for Valentine’s Day, but any special occasion that you wish to share with that special person…

Lighting sets the Tone

This is the ideal time to switch from functional lighting to dim, recessed lights. Lighting plays arguably the most important role in determining the mood of a room and the vibe it exudes. When creating a romantic bedroom, think of it as playing with light and shadows. If you already have automated lighting that can switch between pre-programmed moods with ease, then there is little trouble here. If your bedroom is not blessed with the technology, then just take out the focused lighting and turn towards other options for soothing ambient illumination.

A Dreamy Room with Candles

This is where candles take over. For those who own a bedroom with a beautiful fireplace, this task becomes even more fun. Instead of worrying about dimmable lights that you do not own, just bring home some candles which will set the right mood. You can even add a faux fireplace mantle and decorate it with Valentine’s Day-themed candles for a more pleasing visual. Winter will still hold sway by the time February 14th is here. This makes candles an even more enticing decorating option. (Just be careful where you place them, as it is still fire)

Fragrance of Love

Love and romance is all about playing with the senses. It is time to look beyond decorating as a way to create visually pleasing images. When you are adding candles to the room, make sure you get the right scented candles. Fragrance is another great way to make the occasion far more enjoyable. Unlike popular perception though, overwhelming floral fragrances are not always best. Instead we suggest using a scent or perfume that brings back fond memories of those early dates you went on or the first time you met. Play with nostalgia a bit here…

Music in the Air

Is it a part of decorating? Absolutely yes! A hint of music in the air will surely make the moment even more special. Just as in the case of fragrance, this is another time when you dip into the memory bank and pick out that one special tune or song you love. Do not worry too much about the cheesy stereotypes or limit yourself to music that you never cared for in particular. If you, as a couple, love hard rock, then go for it. (But remember the phrase ‘as a couple’ guys.) Both fragrance and sound make the visual picture even more special. The colors seem bolder, the setting more romantic and the moment more memorable!

Move Out the Clutter

This next tip doesn’t sound all that romantic, does it? But removing the clutter that surrounds you is not only a prudent interior design tip for every occasion, it is particularly apt when trying to set a beautiful backdrop. No one wants to walk into a bedroom that’s filled with a whole lot of rubbish and decor that is placed in a random fashion. In fact, there are some girls who might put your idea of a big celebration on hold and get to cleaning up first (Trust us, it happens)! A well-organized room that only sports things you absolutely need is the perfect backdrop. Imagine it as a painting taking shape; no one starts off with a dirty canvas!

An easy way to add red for a romantic bedroom

Hints of Passionate Red

Valentine’s Day and the weeks leading up to it will allow you to shop very easily for plenty of decor items that come in vivacious red. This is a good opportunity to introduce the fiery shade in a subtle fashion in the bedroom. It need not be an expensive purchase and a permanent addition. A pashmina throw, a few pillow covers in silk or even some lovely drapes in red will do. Red has always been viewed as a color of passion and romance, and if you are not interested in anything else, just bring home some heart-shaped balloons, at the very least.

Purple and Gold Accents

While red is the popular choice, here are two other shades that fit in perfectly with the V-Day theme. Purple is the color of royalty, opulence and indulgence. Couple it with warm gold and you have a sensuous combination that will pave the way to an amazing night! Both purple and gold are also trendy hues and currently being touted as part of the hottest colors for 2014. So, this little bit of redecorating could well be persisted for a few more months after the big day. Instead of pondering repainting, just change the duvets, pillow covers and rug to opt for a more economically sensible makeover.

A Touch of Luxury

Drape your bedroom in fabric that evokes lavishness and snug comfort. Both satin and silk bedding options are pretty popular in this regard. While they might be a touch expensive, you will soon realize that it is well worth the dough. If you are not looking for such high-end sheets and pillow covers, then take the classic approach with white cotton. This is a bedroom look that simply never fails. The greater the thread count and more pure the cotton fabric, the more it will pamper your senses. Once again, try to find that elusive balance between how much you can spend and the affluence you crave.

Re-invent the Bed

With the sheets out of the way, we get to the bed itself. A large bed is a good option, but if you are looking to commit to a more innovative design, there’s nothing like a round bed to truly alter the appeal of a bedroom. Round beds not only look chic, they also add geometric contrast to a room dominated by simple, straight lines. Now could also be the opportune moment to switch over to the four-poster or canopy bed. These beds come with removable tops, allowing you to switch back to the ‘normal mode’ with ease.

Hint of Hollywood Glitz

Wish to turn up the up heat for this Valentine’s Day by going all the way with an “over the top” bedroom that sweeps your valentine off of his/her feet? The Hollywood Regency approach is a good template for this. This expansive style does require a bit of extra effort, but the results speak for themselves. Start with changing the drapes and adding curtains that come with a little heart or cupid motif. Add a mirror or two to truly usher in the cinematic look, while plush rugs in white, a grand chandelier and elegantly arranged vases of flowers put the icing on the cake.

Show that you Care

We do live in a highly commercial environment, and we’ve gotten to a point where we are often too lazy to even place an order on Amazon or eBay! A future with buildings crafted by 3D printers and robots that do household chores isn’t really helping in the motivation department either. But this weekend, get off of the couch and craft something that will put a smile on the face of your lover. Check out these Valentine’s DIY ideas and get started with a project, even if you never dabbled in one before.

valentine's day DIY ideas for a romantic bedroom

Again, think simple. The idea is to show that you care–it’s not a test of your DIY skills. Framing your old wedding invite, a few chocolate hearts on the wall or even a CD with her favorite songs neatly placed on the bedside table… Often, the best ideas are the simplest ones!

Definitions for diachylon

This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word diachylon

Webster Dictionary

  1. Diachylon(noun)

    alt. of Diachylum

  1. Diachylon

    Diachylon, also rendered diachylum or diaculum, was originally a kind of medicament made of the juices of several plants, but now commonly the name for lead-plaster, emplastrum plumbi—a plaster made of lead oxide boiled together with olive oil and water. It is applied to sheets of linen, and works as an adhesive plaster when heated. Historically, several different types of diachylons have been described. White, or simple, diacyhlon is compounded of common oil, litharge of gold, and adhesives drawn from the root of the Althaea, the seeds of flax and fenugreek. The diachylon called direatum has for its basis the common white diachylon, but with every pound of which is mixed an ounce of powder of Iris; this plaster digests, incides, and ripens with more force than the simple diachylon. There is also the great diachylon, or diachylon magnum, composed of litharge of gold, oils of iris, chamomile, and aneth, turpentine, pine resin, yellow wax, and adhesives derived from flax, fenugreek, with new figs, raisins of Damascus, icthyocolla, juices of iris, squill, and hyssop. This diachylon was said to soften hard swellings called scirrhus, and dissipate tumors.

Definitions for halftoneˈhæfˌtoʊn, ˈhɑf-

This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word halftone

Princeton's WordNet

  1. halftone(noun)

    a print obtained from photoengraving

  2. halftone, halftone engraving, photoengraving(noun)

    an engraving used to reproduce an illustration

  1. halftone(Noun)

    Half the interval between two notes on a scale.

  2. halftone(Noun)

    A picture made by using the process of half-toning.

  3. halftone(Verb)

    To reproduce a photograph or other continuous tone image by the use of dots of various sizes.

  1. Halftone

    Halftone is the reprographic technique that simulates continuous tone imagery through the use of dots, varying either in size, in shape or in spacing. "Halftone" can also be used to refer specifically to the image that is produced by this process. Where continuous tone imagery contains an infinite range of colors or greys, the halftone process reduces visual reproductions to an image that is printed with only one color of ink, in dots of differing size. This reproduction relies on a basic optical illusion—that these tiny halftone dots are blended into smooth tones by the human eye. At a microscopic level, developed black-and-white photographic film also consists of only two colors, and not an infinite range of continuous tones. For details, see film grain. Just as color photography evolved with the addition of filters and film layers, color printing is made possible by repeating the halftone process for each subtractive color—most commonly using what is called the "CMYK color model". The semi-opaque property of ink allows halftone dots of different colors to create another optical effect—full-color imagery.

  1. Chaldean Numerology

    The numerical value of halftone in Chaldean Numerology is: 2

  2. Pythagorean Numerology

    The numerical value of halftone in Pythagorean Numerology is: 9

  • Automotive Insurance Adjuster

Graduates of the SUNY Delhi Automotive Technology program have a number of career options. The majority of graduates proceed directly to employment in an automotive service capacity. According to the United States Department of Labor, employment of automotive service technicians and mechanics is expected to grow 17 percent from 2010 to 2020. Graduates are qualified for employment in independent repair shops, service departments of automobile dealers, service stations, federal and state government agencies, taxicab and automotive leasing companies, corporate fleets, specialty shops, franchise facilities, and automobile manufacturers. Graduates also have the background needed for future advancement to such positions as shop foreman, service writer, service manager, or parts manager.

A second option for graduates is to transfer to a four-year program in this field. Two regional colleges that offer a Bachelor of Science in Automotive Management to which graduates could transfer are Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport, PA, and SUNY Farmingdale.

A related career option would be to transfer to a school with a Technology Education or a Vocational Education bachelor-degree program, which would lead to a teaching career at the high school level. In New York State, two schools that offer this degree are SUNY Oswego and SUNY Buffalo.

Alumni News

general tso pork ribs

I still had some General Tso’s Glaze Sauce in my fridge and last weekend was another culinary experimental journey for me. I went to the market in the morning with the aim of cooking a simple lunch of chicken porridge followed by dinner comprising stir-fried spinach with garlic and a meat dish. I duly settled for pork ribs. As I intended to take a nap in the afternoon, I decided that I was going to just marinate the pork ribs and place it into the crock pot (some call it a slow cooker) and allow it to cook whilst I proceed to dreamland. This dish is simple and fuss free just like most of the other recipes on this site.

However, I do understand that General Tso’s Glaze Sauce might not be available worldwide, even in Malaysia. A thoughtful reader of this site, Reese, bought me a bottle all the way from Boston! Based on the sample recipe found on the label of the sauce, roasted pork ribs which were marinated in the sauce is supposed to be good and I believe it should be. I don’t have an oven with me and I decided that slow cooking would also be suitable.

I asked the butcher for meaty and tender parts of the pork ribs. That was the description I gave to the butcher. Unfortunately, I don’t know what it is called in English. Perhaps spare ribs? Anyway, I complimented the pork ribs with baby corns (I simply love their natural sweetness) and chunks of plump carrots and finally added a handful of chinese celery to give it a slightly herbal taste. Perfect! I had two big helpings of steamed white rice and ended up very pleased with what I cooked. If you can get hold of General Tso’s Glaze Sauce, try this recipe. It’s a no-brainer!

This is my recipe for General Tso’s Pork Ribs in Crock Pot

  • 150 grammes pork ribs (chopped into 4 to 5cm lengths)
  • 5 to 8 pieces baby corn (sliced lengthwise)
  • 1 medium sized carrot (cut into medium chunks)
  • A handful of chopped chinese celery (optional)

  • 3 tablespoons General Tso’s Glazing Sauce
  • a pinch of salt

Wash pork ribs and pat dry. Place in suitable container and marinade for 2 to 3 hours.

Lay baby corn and carrots on bottom of crock pot. Place pork ribs on top of baby corn and carrots. Pour remaining marinade over the pork ribs. Cover lid and cook on high for 3 hours.

After cooking, place pork ribs, baby corn and carrots on serving plate and sprinkle chopped chinese celery (optional) over them. If you find that the gravy is too watery to your liking, reduce and thicken it separately in a sauce pan by adding a little corn starch. Pour gravy over the pork ribs.

    reese : Thanks for introducing me to the General. I didn’t know of the existence of this sauce until you bought it for me 😀 As for char siew, I don’t have the recipe at the moment. The last time I made one was when I bought a ready-made marinade sauce back in England. Back here in KL, we just buy the best roasted char siew from our favourite stalls 😀

    Alice : You can see a picture of the bottle in my Pork Chop ala General Tso recipe. Check out my site advertiser – Asian Food Grocer. They might have one.

    babe_kl : I am more into easy-peasy recipes and the method of cooking here was learnt from you! Thanks!

    TP : Welcome! Hope you’ll find some useful recipes!

Writing a simple FireMonkey TListLayout implementation

Delphi Haven – In FireMonkey, the usual way to group controls is to use a ‘layout’ of some sort. Conceptually, a layout is just a container control with no visual appearance of its own, at least by default. This contrasts to something like a panel or group box, which is also a container but one that the user sees as such. A few layout classes are provided with Delphi. The simplest is TLayout, which does nothing more than implement the basic defintion of a layout control; beyond it stands TScrollBox, TScaleLayout, TGridLayout and TFlowLayout. You can read about them in the help, though in a ...

The 2014 Webster Jazz Festival is history, but no one could say it came off without a hitch.

There were plenty of hitches, actually. Intermittent rain showers drove the bands, vendors and dining tables off of West Main Street, and organizers had to do some fancy footwork to accommodate the displaced musicians and music fans.

Contingency plan #1 involved hosting the bands in Hatter's Pub and The Coach Sports Bar. I didn't get into town in time to see how that worked out for the Bill Tiberio Band at The Coach, but squeezing the Amanda Ashley Trio into Hatter's wasn't ideal. People were jam-packed so tight into the bar that others decided just to set their chairs up on the sidewalk and listen as the music spilled out into the street.

Fortunately, at some point during the day, organizers came up with the great idea to move the music and vendors and tables down to Gazebo Park. It not only gave the bands more room to spread out, but also allowed many more people to enjoy the music.

And many more people did. When The Mambo Kings hit the gazebo stage around 8, about 250 people had gathered with their lawn chairs and coolers. Many of them had crowded under the protective canopies of the trees, but others simply popped up their umbrellas and found an empty grassy spot. As the rains subsided, the umbrellas went down, and even more people arrived to set up camp. By the time Prime Time Funk hit the downbeat around 9:45, the crowd had grown to more than twice that.

But while most of the action was down in Gazebo Park, there was plenty going on up on Main Street. In addition to the knots of people milling around outside Hatter's, patio seating at Barry's Old School Irish and The Coach Sports Bar's umbrella tables was at a premium.

The folks of the Business Improvement District who organized the Jazz Fest did their level best to adjust on the fly and do what they could given a very difficult situation. In large part they were successful; everyone worked together to move all the sound gear and vendor tables down to the park, and while the crowds were far below average, everyone seemed to have a good time.

I feel sorry, however, for those West Main Street businesses who stocked up on supplies, put on more staff and prepared all day in anticipation of having thousands of music fans seated outside their front doors.

New Denim Brand: Terrance Sullivan & DenimBlog Exclusive Interview

Terrance Sullivan is a fairly new designer on the denim market. He has previously worked with Michelle Siwy of Siwy Denim on various denim projects and Maurice Malone. He then created his first denim jean with the label T.Sul. This women’s flair leg jean featured a detailed wash and a resin finish and was sold in approximately 30 boutiques around the United States. Terrance then went on to create his ready to wear collection which you can see now and he has also opened his own store since. He took the time to answer lots of our questions about his new collection and as you can see from the photos and from his answers, his jeans are very unique!
Please click this interview post to read it in full.
DB: What inspired you when creating your brand?

Change. The time has come for women to have jeans that are designed, styled and crafted specifically for them. A fashion industry professional I worked with several years ago once told me “at the end of the day, it’s all just denim.”

DB: What is your brand all about?

Making a statement. Providing a unique experience. American luxury and craftsmanship. Giving women exactly what they need and even more of what they want.

DB: Who would be your ideal customer?

The woman who wants and knows that she deserves a better pair of jeans. I honestly feel that every woman deserves a pair of my jeans.

DB: Your jeans have a uniqueness to them which I love, how would you describe them?

Well, I thank you for the compliment, this response from a woman is absolutely what drives me. I’m very happy that you and others have noticed this uniqueness. Each jean makes its own statement so I think it would be hard to give a specific description, so I’ll give you my two perspectives on that question. I think in a broader sense they can be described as, if you can imagine, the next evolution of the denim jean. Jeans that are made inside and out for the fit, design and style of today’s women. They are so much more than just jeans and that’s why I call them ‘Ready-To-Wear Jeans’. And to describe them perhaps as it pertains more to the aesthetics of the newest offerings of the collection, I’d simply have to say a sexy skinny silhouette that has been distressed, ripped and zipped to rock-star scale proportions!

DB: Zippers have been really popular on jeans, what made you want to put them on the knees and on the front of your jeans?

I’m very inspired by the idea force merger. In this instance my desire was to use the zipper, which is traditionally used in a strictly functional way on jeans and forcing it in to a purely aesthetic role. I’m very pleased with the outcome. I think the knee will be a consistent focal point in my design. The knee is the best place on a jean to make a strong statement.

DB: Are they comfortable on the knees? I can imagine kneeling down may be a little bit sore. I love the idea of using zippers etc for aesthetic purposes though, I am all for that!

That’s a great question because comfort is very, very important to me and I don’t want to just say yes without explaining why. A lot of thought was given to the placement of the zippers for that very reason. Here’s how I got the comfort issues to also marry with my design vision. The zippers are placed to fall just slightly above the knee. I then incorporated the shin patch, which falls just below the knee to achieve aesthetic detail as well as visually balance the leg. So on most women the zipper won’t fall exactly on the knees. In the event that the zippers do happen to fall on the knees there are a few other features at work. The front leg panel design, the stretch in the denim fabric and the quality/thickness of the zippers which can also be opened to relieve pressure in that area.

DB: What is your inspiration when designing?

I find most of my inspiration away from jeans. I look for beautiful lines and great concepts in any/all forms of design. I don’t really look at other jeans any more. They don’t inspire me and I don’t want to box myself into that way of thinking. I have created a path that’s so exciting for me. I’m opening the jean to all possibilities and I’ve only just begun.

DB: So do you get inspiration from things like nature or the city or maybe something else?

It truly is creating art for me. I treat every jean like a work of art. So inspiration comes from everything and nothing at all. Firstly, I look at my jean as being a part of a full women’s ready-to-wear collection more so than a jean in a contemporary or designer jean collection. This gives me the same freedom to create as a Marc Jacobs, an Alexander Wang, a Phillip Lim. And I’m very inspired by their work and by that of many other great designers as well. Some times I look through fashion magazines for hours and sometimes I have visions in a dream that wake me up in the middle of the night. I got the inspiration for the shin patch on the Harley Zip jeans because I love the sport of soccer. Who would put a shin patch on a pair of women’s jeans? But it works. This is why, I’m very excited. My thoughts, ideas and energy are growing stronger and stronger every day. My thinking is free and bold. Hopefully women will be able to identify with that.

DB: Tell us more about your cuts and washes!

I have to say the cuts are absolutely great. I’m constantly working to improve even on this greatness. The rear rise is slightly higher than the front rise for an enhancing fit without the plumber butt. The front leg panels are contoured and smaller then the rear leg panels which give a long slimming effect to the legs.

DB: The slimming effect on the legs sounds perfect! Just what every girl wants. So will you not be doing any heavy distressing or any ‘fashion’ style washes?

Of course I want to give women what they want so I’ll certainly do some distressing and fashionable washes for sure, however I’ll make sure I do it in my own way. I think I can also introduce women to new things they will want as well.

Take one look at the collection and you’ll notice right away that as far as washes and finishes are concerned, I try to stay both classic and original. I won’t ever overdo it with washes and finishes. I don’t chase those trends. I want our clients to expect to buy a pair of wearable jeans that will become a mainstay in their wardrobe.

DB: Do you have a favourite jean you have designed?

That’s a tough question because I feel they’re all like my beautiful children or something. I’ve worked really hard to perfect each jean for what it is and the statement it should make. But to not totally dance around your question, I’d have to say that the ‘Harley Zip’ jean and the ‘Talula’ jean are pretty sick. (ÔÇÿTalula’ jean is available late August)

DB: What do these 2 jeans look like and what makes them your favorite?

They both have a skinny silhouette with great design aesthetics that really evolve the denim jean. The Harley Zip jean has the knee zippers and shin patches. I love the zippers. A great detail about them is that they are all different sizes of thickness and they unzip in different directions. It all, absolutely, came together beautifully. The Talula jean is very special to me. It’s actually funny because I’m so proud of it. This was force merge to perfection I think. I use elastic to create sculpted coned shapes on the knees. The shape is very strong visually however, I still feel it’s very wearable. I thinking there’s a part of me that is hoping that women will trust me with this jean and I really like that feeling as well. The rear yoke and a lower section of the leg are also made of elastic and really balance the front and back of the jean. Talula looks very sleek and sexy in raw black denim in which the elastic knees are more pronounced. And there’s also a washed black version and the contrast of the denim wash and the black elastic looks terrific.

DB: Do you have a favourite jean (any brand)?

My favorite jean of all time is without question the original Calvin Klein Jean. This is a jean that changed my life. It changed how everyone looks at jeans. I aspire to achieve such greatness.

DB: How many jeans do you have?

I actually don’t design and make mens jeans yet, including for my self personally, so I don’t have many jeans. I find a pair or two that I like and I stick to them for a while. However, I will buy multiples of the same pair to make sure I have them for a while. I’ll get to the men’s jean revolution some day soon hopefully, but for now I’ll have to suffer so that women can have great jeans.

DB: Tell us where you are based and where you grew up!

I grew up in Detroit, Michigan but my design studio and collection store are located in Birmingham, Michigan. All of My jeans are manufactured in New York City and all of the washes and finishes are done in Los Angeles, California. So there you go, get a great pair of jeans and jump start the economy all in one purchase!

DB: What is the best feature of Terrance Sullivan jeans?

It’s easily the ‘Four Piece Contoured WaistbandÔäó’. This waistband is designed for a woman’s waistline and it is unique to my jeans. It’s been designed to help eliminate rear gapping while providing a snug fit. In contrast, 99.99% of all the women’s jeans that are currently available have a two piece waistband. This two piece design creates a full circle that is made for a mans wider waist, not a woman’s waist. This not only creates rear gapping on the waistband, it also effects the fit around the butt and crotch as well. And women wonder why it’s so hard to find a pair of jeans that fit them well.

DB: Oh wow, that’s really interesting! I actually never knew about the 2 piece waistbands. Could you explain more about this for those of us who don’t know?

I’d love to. If you take a look on the inside of your jeans you’ll find that the waistband is made of an inside piece and an outside piece. They share the same shape and they are sewn together to make the waistband. This design can create only one shape, a complete circle. This is a waistband that has been carried over from the original designs of jeans made for men. Men are wide across in the waist and typically have a smaller rear end, so the circle design works. However, women have a curvy shape. The hips are wider than the waistline and there are more rear assets than a man for most women. So a waist band that forms a circle won’t work well. At some point there well be gapping between the waistband and the body along the waistline. I was amazed that no jean (that I’m aware of) was addressing this critical fit issue. The waistband on my jeans are made of four separate pieces. Two on the inside and two on the outside sewn together at the rear seam. Each piece of the waistband is specially contoured and shaped. This is a design that works on a woman’s waist. I’m sure women are aware that there is no one jean that will fit every body shape, however, my jeans will fit a very, very wide range of body shapes because of these very important features.

DB: What are your denim predictions for next season?

I think we’ll see denim, as a fabric, once again making it’s way into other parts of the wardrobe. More looks that will incorporate denim on denim on denim. I think it’s also safe to say the skinny jean will continue it’s dominance as the most desired silhouette. I’m also pretty sure that jeans will evolve to incorporate more of the technical features which we’ve already started to do.

DB: What makes denim so important to you?

There is nothing sexier than a woman in a great pair of jeans!

DB: What makes your brand stand out from the rest of the brands out there?

I’d say it’s simply a higher level of attention to all of the details. Those that matter the most and even those that you wouldn’t think matter at all. I don’t want it to sound like I’m putting other jeans down, but the truth is, we make a better women’s jean and the eye can see it at first glance. When your hands touch them you know that the denim and the craftsmanship is superior. You can turn any pair of my jeans inside out and you’ll find that the pocketing and the inside seams are finished and lined with bias made of 100% Pima cotton. Girls who have my jeans have actually told me that they’ve put their hands into the pockets of the jeans and were amazed at how soft the pockets felt. If you could just see my face light up when I’m telling them about the Pima cotton pocketing! It’s that important to me that the entire experience with my jeans is great. I don’t know of any other jean that goes that far to get all of the details right.

DB: You really make me want to try on a pair of your jeans now! I love the small little details on jeans and fabrics like Pima cotton being used as it’s so soft. It’s nice to see you have such a passion for what you do! I find it’s the little details on jeans that make me like them a lot more over time.

Thank you so much for all of your compliments. I think now the only thing left is to get you into my jeans!

DB: Lastly, is there anything else you want to add that I haven’t asked you?

Yes, Rivets are not sexy on a woman’s jean unless you’re a cowboy or a coal miner! And please stop buying the jeans with those big square pockets! Big squares shapes on a woman’s butt don’t compliment, enhance or flatter the female shape! There I said It. Hopefully I’ve started a women’s jean revolution!

  1. He’s the hottest jean designer around! His design process is amazing. He’ll be around for along time..once you own a pair, you won’t just stop at one!

A federal judge Thursday dismissed a civil fraud lawsuit against former Qwest president Afshin Mohebbi and former accountant James Kozlowski but kept intact the case against former chief financial officer Robert Woodruff.

U.S. District Judge Marcia Krieger granted Mohebbi’s and Kozlowski’s motions for summary judgment and denied a similar request from Wood ruff.

The case also is pending against former Qwest accountant Frank Noyes, who was cleared of all but one charge in the lawsuit.

The Securities and Exchange Commission alleges that the former Qwest executives and accountants fraudulently boosted revenue by $3 billion from 1999 to 2002. Qwest later restated much of that revenue.

Several other former Qwest executives, including ex-chief executive Joe Nacchio, were included in the 2005 suit but have since settled out of court.

Don Hoerl, regional director of the SEC’s Denver office, declined to comment Thursday.

Kevin Evans, an attorney for Kozlowski, said it was a “tremendous waste of taxpayer money” for the SEC to file the suit against his client.

A pretrial conference for the case against Woodruff and Noyes is scheduled for June 7.

Time Travel 098, According to "Lost"

When I was in college, the course numbers that began with 0 were remedial classes that didn't directly count toward getting a degree, other than getting you to actual underclassmen undergraduate courses (100 and 200 levels), and eventually to upperclassmen undergraduate courses (300 and 400 levels).

Anyhow, there are people in various Internet forums that don't quite understand the simplicity of time travel in the show Lost. I don't know if these people are actually confused (lost, as it were) or merely trolls to anger the fanbase. Likely it is a mix of both categories, but which is the dominant category is unknown. So here's Remedial Fictional Television Time Travel, according (so far) to ABC's Lost:

As of last night's episode, the concept of a multiverse (alternate universes) is not part of the show. Whatever happens during the course of the Universe, happens and is supposed to happen. If there are any irregularities (Desmond preventing Charlie's death several times), the Universe will course-correct (Charlie dying).*

If your consciousness from 1996 travels forward to 2004, you can't access your memories from 1997-2004 (as well as the remaining days in 1996). If you were 25 in 1996, you're going to be the same 25 year old in 2004, and not the 33 year old you were before your 25 year old consciousness took over. To your 1996 mind, the life you're living in 2004 would be quite alien and scary.**

If your consciousness from 2004 travels back to 1996, you might be able to predict what happens between 1997-2004 (as well as 1996) if you can remember the details. Armed with knowledge of "the future," as well as the experience of age, your 2004 consciousness can potentially be quite savvy in 1996.

If both your mind and body from 2004 travel to 1974, you're still getting older and living life linearly. If you're 30 years old in 2004, you'll still be 30 years old when you travel to 1974. In 1977, you'll be 33 years old. Jin couldn't speak that much English in late 2004. That same Jin (body, mind, and English language skill set) traveled to 1974. In 1977, Jin spoke fluent English, being three years older with three years of English language immersion and use. There's no way that 30 year old Jin could have the same skill set as 33 year old Jin. A forum user on IMDb, didn't quite get that, and assumed that 2004 (Seasons 1-4) Jin would be fluent in English since 1977 (Season 5) Jin spoke fluent English.

If both your mind and body from 2004 travel to 2007, you skip over three years of time. If you were 48 in 2004, you would still be physically 48 in 2007. However, according to your birth certificate and identification card, the government and society will treat you as a 51-year old (if they don't know otherwise). In any case, you would have no direct memory of the days between your departure in 2004 and your arrival in 2007, and would need to catch up watching news clips, reading magazines, asking people, and going on Wikipedia. This principle is also applicable for those who are cryogenically frozen, stored, and revived in the future.***

If your body time travels without any mind, who would care? (Zombie time travel is beyond the scope of this course.) And that concludes Time Travel 098. Understand these concepts, and you'll be able to take Time Travel 101, which counts toward your B.S.F. degree (Bachelor of Science Fiction, naturally).

If you, the reader, still don't quite understand basic hypothetical time travel, I accept that reality. It doesn't reflect poorly on your intellect, as you probably have more productive, real-world problems and solutions to consider.

*Of course, maybe the Universe wanted Desmond to save Charlie a few times, in order for Charlie to be sick of being saved and finally sacrificing himself at the end of the third season. In that case, whatever happened was supposed to happen.

**If your 1996 consciousness grounds itself with a Constant, there's a good chance your memories from 1997-2004 will return, and you'll be whole again. But who knows?

***A 48 year old who skips three years can believably masquerade as a 51 year old (on paper), while still being 48 physically. A 48 year old who skips 20 years would raise suspicion as a 68 year old (on paper), and a 50 year leap would require the use of effects makeup to masquerade as a 98 year old (on paper). Forget about pretending to be 1048 years old after a 1000 year forward time travel. Virtually everyone would consider you to be a 48 year old time traveler in that scenario.

So many storylines can pervade a 48-minute NBA basketball game. Such is the case with Wednesday’s contest between the Utah Jazz and the Minnesota Timberwolves. In a truly bizarre, somewhat surreal game, the Jazz narrowly escaped with a 97-93 victory.

It was an up-and-down game full of lulls one minute and then flush with flash the next. Apropos for being in frigid Minneapolis, the Jazz were so cold at the start that they could not throw a ball in a lake. Utah finished the first quarter with a season-low 10 points.

Propelled by a motivated bench, the Jazz then turned things around in an exciting, fast-paced 32-point second quarter. The third quarter was fairly even. In the last stanza, the Jazz took a 15-point lead and looked poised to win the game running away.

Ricky Rubio and the Timberwolves had different plans in mind. In a furious flurry, the diminutive point guard set his team up for easy looks via some pinpoint playmaking, while Utah became careless with the ball. It got as close as two points, but thanks to solid free-throw shooting, the Jazz managed to hold on to win a wild game.

Revved up Reserves: One storyline that has been consistent for most of the season has been the solid play of a talented Utah bench. Once again, the reserves helped put things back on the right trajectory for the Jazz against an undermanned Timberwolves bench.

It was a quintet off the pine that helped Utah recover from its lethargic start. Alec Burks had one of the most well-rounded performances of his NBA tenure. In 30 minutes, he recorded a career-high seven assists, while adding nine points, six rebounds and a pair of steals. Moreover, he continues to look more and more comfortable as he assumes a greater playmaking responsibility.

With 11 points and five rebounds, DeMarre Carroll brought his standard hustle. Big men Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter played some strong defense while combining for 17 points. And last but not least, Earl Watson chipped in six points, five assists and five rebounds.

Decimated by injuries, Minnesota’s reserves could only muster 12 total points in a cumulative 63 minutes. The T-Wolves shot a lowly 4 of 21 from the floor.

Odds and ends:

• Minnesota is missing Kevin Love, Andrei Kirilenko, Chase Budinger and Brandon Roy and the 49.2 points per game they are averaging.

2 comments on this story

• The two squads were both cold from outside, joining efforts in a 7-33 night from 3-point range.

• Utah’s starting point guard and small forward, Jamaal Tinsley and Marvin Williams, played just 32 minutes combined, scoring a mere three points.

St Petersburg named the countrys arts capital

on Monday,May 17,2010 23:05

AmericanStyle magazine has named St. Petersburg the nation's top arts destination through its annual survey of the country's top 25 designer cities, the Tampa Bay Business Journal reports.

Although the city has been recognized by the magazine for the past nine years, this is the first year St. Petersburg has ranked in the top 10, according to the news source. The city held the 22nd spot in the mid-size city category last year, according to the magazine's website.

There are a total of six museums within the city's limits, including the Museum of Fine Arts and the Salvador Dali museum. St. Petersburg also includes many theater and concert venues, such as the Progress Energy Center for the Arts/Mahaffey Theater, The Palladium Theater and American Stage.

Local artists and designers can take advantage of a new studio and gallery space in the city's center, which recently replaced an arcade. This venue is one of many artistic spaces that are available in the city's downtown gallery district.

In an effort to increase the city's visibility as an artistic center, officials have supported the efforts of several of St. Petersburg's creative organizations in the recent years, including the Arts Advisory Community, Public Art Commission, St. Pete Arts Initiative, Downtown Arts Association and the St. Petersburg Artist Resource Collaborative.

The Italian Garden Hand-Painted Oval Wall Masterpiece
True to Italian style, this two-and-a-half-foot-tall oval work of fine decorative art is not a replica, but an artist's original atop solid wood. Luscious color generates a warmth and vitality that cascades from the vase in this exquisite work. Graceful lines and stunning color are accented with faux gilding for the perfect finish. Created one piece at a time using an incredibly detailed 12-step process that requires three days of hand-painting by skilled artisans, this timeless Toscano-exclusive work commands attention.

22"Wx1"Dx28"H. 9 lbs.
Rated 2 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Poor My husband was very jazzed about this being an artist's original, etc., but...very sloppily done, looked hurried, there are just areas that look bad, paint colors don't match photo. I bought this for my foyer but am going to find another area where it can't be so easily scrutinized. If the artist being 'rushed' is the issue, give them enough time and if the customer can't wait...don't buy it. This was a huge disappointment for me, I want to get some paint myself to fix the many blurbs and 'painting outside the lines' type areas that are so predominant. The wood or whatever it is on, has dings and flaws in it that just add to the poor looking quality. I know this is not a terribly expensive piece, but can't it at least look presentable? Grossly disappointed and we were in process of moving so it was boxed for too long to send it back. November 30, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by Quality of paint and assembly of pieces doe not justify the price. The exterior frame is not centered on the floral design. Mediocre paint job. Some scratches in paint. April 13, 2016

    Default Writer in me very strong, says Zoya Akhtar

    Follow us on Social Media

    Zoya Akhtar, daughter of veteran writers Javed Akhtar and Honey Irani, says she always had the mind of a writer, and she won't ever give up her passion for anything.
    "The writer in me is very strong. I feel whether I direct my next film or not, that will not majorly affect my life. But no matter where I am, I can't stop writing," Zoya told IANS.
    "In school, I would always score the highest on essays. Since school, I was told that I can write," she added.
    Besides, Zoya admits she always had the advantage of being Javed Akhtar's daughter.
    "I only had an advantage of being his daughter because I had a special kind of upbringing. My brother and I grew up together and we never had this difference of a boy and a girl. Our exposure was very wide," she said.
    Zoya says she imbibed good reading habits from her father, and a lot more from her mother, who parted ways with Javed Akhtar years ago.
    "My mom was in film school when we were in school, so we used to go to FTII (Film and Television Institute of India) on weekends. She used to collect a lot of films and she used to have lot of DVDs on world cinema. So Farhan and I have seen lot of films with her."
    "I have learnt swimming, cycling and camping... all this we learnt from or mother. The reading habit (is what) I got from my father. Reading, questioning, analysing, discussing... all that came from my father," she added.
    ...being a human...

ASP Example 3: Guestbook

  • July 19, 1999
  • By Joe Burns
  • Send Email »
  • More Articles »

Use these to jump around or read it all...
[The Process] [The Files]
[The Guestbook Page]
[The Thank-You Page]
[Altering the Guestbook]

     Welcome to the Active Server Pages (ASP) tutorial about a guestbook with "Thank You" page. Everybody loves putting together a great guestbook, and through the use of ASP, you can get that all-important secondary page that pops up right after the user submits. But more than that, you get to configure the thank-you page to include the user's name and other responses depending on what the user entered into the guestbook form.

     As was stated in ASP Example 2, this tutorial will not get into what ASP is all about or how to find out if you have ASP capabilities. That's all covered in ASP Example 1. So, if you haven't already, head over to the ASP Example 1 and read all about it. You'll get the ASP scoop and a small program to test your server for ASP capabilities.

     And again -- ASP is not supported by all servers. In fact, you can't see the Guestbook presented here in action. Why? The HTML Goodies servers do not support ASP *sigh*. If ASP is not supported on your server, you can create a guestbook using forms or by placing a CGI.

The Process

     The young gentleman who wrote these ASP pages for me actually thought I was pulling his leg when I told him how popular the concept of getting a thank-you page following a guestbook submit had become. He wanted to know why people wanted such a thing. I said, "Shut up and get writing. I'm paying you by the hour."

     Actually I paid him a flat rate. It's a good thing, too. He didn't quite know how he was going to get the effect. He actually had to go back to his apartment and call a bunch of his ASP buddies to talk over how the effect would be achieved. What you get in this tutorial is what they all arrived at. No, I didn't pay the consulting ASP artists. Seeing what the first guy charges me, they're all probably wealthy anyway.

     Here's the deal:

  • The form that acts as the Guestbook is created through simple HTML commands; make sure every form element is given a NAME attribute.

  • The main FORM flag has its ACTION attribute pointing at the thank-you page rather than at a mailto: command.

  • All of the VBScript that sends the mail along is contained on the thank-you page. Thus, the change of page was going to happen whether a guestbook was involved or not. The thank-you text displays and the mail is sent all from the second page. It's a very clever system. Maybe those other guys should have gotten paid....

The Files

     You're going to have to have two. As was the case in ASP Example #2, I am offering the files as HTML documents. When you click on the links below, you'll see code. Copy the entire code and paste it to a text editor. The first thing you copy should be the code: <%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>. That starts off all ASP pages. Then, when you save the code, name it whatever you want and make sure it has an ".asp" extension.

     The ".asp" extension is very important and not adding it is the main cause of these tutorials not giving people the effect they're looking for. Here are the files:

     Again, just to drive a point home, copy and paste the code and save it with an ".asp" extension.

The Guestbook Page

     The Guestbook page should be pretty familiar coding to you by now. If not, go read the Forms tutorial right away. You're in over your head here.

     Right now the form is just two text boxes named yourname and email, a couple of radio buttons named answer, and a submit button.

     Yes, you will be able to add and alter the items that make up the Guestbook page, but right now let's stay on track.

Notice This!

     Did you see that there was some bold text when you copied and pasted? The bold text was the ASP page the ACTION attribute pointed to. It looked like this:

<FORM ACTION="asp_ty.asp" NAME="form1" METHOD="post">

     See it? In terms of this Guestbook page, that's really the only the thing you have to be concerned with. Right now the ACTION is set to send the output of the form to the thank-you page, asp_ty.asp.

     If you kept the name intact and you named your thank-you page asp_ty.asp, they you don't have to change a thing -- it's ready to roll. But if you did change the name of the thank-you page, you need to change this out to read whatever name you chose.

     Moving along...

The Thank-You Page

     The thank-you page has a few more parts to be concerned about. First off, I have made each of the HTML comments italic. I have also underlined the ASP comments. (They start with a single quote mark.) None of those comments add to the output of the page, they're just in there to help you understand what's going on.

     Here's the first line of code that really involves what the user entered into the Guestbook form page:

Thanks for filling out our survey, <%=Request.form("yourname")%>

     See the command within the < and >. That's VBScript that posts what was written in the text box given the name yourname. Remember that format. It's going to come into play again later.

     Remember that this is ASP. That code will never be seen by the user, even if they look at the source. It'll just simply read Thanks for filling out the form, Bill.. That is, if some guy named Bill answered the form. Following the concept here?

Set Up The E-Mail

     The next small block of code sets up destination and originating variables plus a subject line and body so that the text has somewhere to go. Don't touch it. I'm just pointing out what it does. No need to mess with it.

Fill the Variables

     Now we're at a point where you have to alter the code a bit.

OriginatingEmail = Request.form("email")
DestinationEmail = "you@email.com"
Subject = "The Subject Line Goes Here"

     The first line is good to go. It's using the input the user entered in the text box named email. Don't touch it.

     The next two lines require you to put in your own e-mail, or the e-mail address where you want the mail to end up, then a subject line. Do that.

The Body of the E-Mail...

     ...is created by the next little block of code. Notice the format. It's much like the first code we talked about that posts the user's name to the page. All this line of code does is take the text in the two text boxes, and the user's choice between the radio buttons, and make it one line of text.

     Notice the format. Each blurb or code starts with an "&" and ends with a semicolon. That will become important to you later when you want to add additional elements.

Send that Mail!

     The next blurb of code sends the mail. I have mentioned that the mail element has to be added to the server for this format to run. I only put that in, in case the form doesn't run. I would be very, very surprised if your ASP server didn't have the mail utility installed.

Did the Mail Send?

     Those of you who know JavaScript will basically pick this next set of code lines apart right off. It's a conditional statement. If the mail failed to send, the text "Failed to send form results to" appears on the page along with the address that was supposed to get the mail and the reason why the mail send failed. But if the mail went, you get the message "Your form Results have been sent".

     Very clever. I think this is the greatest part of this whole Guestbook system.

Respond to the User

     The final block of text is, again, a conditional statement that displays text depending on which radio button the user chooses. If the user chooses the radio button with the VALUE "yes", then the text "I like Active Server Pages Too!" is written to the page. If the user chooses the radio button with the VALUE "no", then the text "I don't like Active Server Pages either!" writes to the page.

     Again, this all happens behind the scenes. The user will never actually see the VBScript code. When the page is displayed, all of this will be replaced with simple text. The source code will look like a basic HTML document. Neat, huh?

Altering the Guestbook

     You have the format for posting something from the Guestbook form to the page. This:

     So, now you can add as many text boxes and text area boxes as you'd like to. Just remember to give each text element a different name. Then you can take and place the text the user put into the text element simply by following the format above and putting the NAME you gave the text element in where I have "######". Easy.

     If you want to add what the user put in the text element into the e-mail message that comes to your mailbox, simply follow the format that was used to create the Body section of the text. Each new element begins with an "&" and ends with a semicolon. Watch the quotes, too.

     Want to add another couple of radio button, check box, or pull-down box choices and have something write to the page depending on the choice? Follow the format in the last block of code to get the effect. Just remember to give each element a VALUE. That's what is used to determine what choice the user made.

That's That

     I have this guestbook format on my server at school. It supports ASP. The look is very nice and it really makes you look like you know what you're doing. And isn't that what it's all about?

Reading Graph

In addition to my book blog, since the beginning of March I have also been tracking my reading on a reading graph I got from a fellow LibraryThing user (who also has a book blog). I put in my goal of books for the year and the spreadsheet calculates when I need to finish my books in order to meet my goal and how many books I am estimated to read for the year if I continue at my current pace. Because I started a bit late this year, my goal is 100 books. Two other sheets show how you’re doing on your goal with number of books and how many pages you have read.  Since wordpress doesn’t allow me to upload the files, you can download the blank reading graph here, and see my progress so far here.

    Glad you like it! One thing – check your link to your reading graph; I’m getting a page-not-found error.

  • I do love it. I update it the SECOND I finish a book. My fiance asks me at least once or twice a week “how’re your statistics?” and has had fun playing with it to make it start at February 27th for me.

    Thanks for pointing out that broken link. I had actually meant to take that sentence out completely, but then got distracted at work and forgot. That was when I was attempting to save the file as a webpage and link it like that, which didn’t work.

  • Sister

    What were you doing for the entire month of January?

  • Reading, but I don’t know what, because I hadn’t started this blog or found that graph.

Introduction to Tablet PC Development : Page 3

Development for Tablet PCs requires a skill set similar to development for regular PCs, plus an understanding of digital Ink collection, management, and analysis. Developing for Tablet PCs is surprisingly easy and powerful at the same time.

More Power with the InkOverlay
The second class of interest is the InkOverlay class, which is a specialized version of the InkCollector class. It provides everything the Ink collector provides, plus added functionality, such as selection and manipulation of Ink. You can simply replace all the references to InkCollector in your previous example with InkOverlay and things will work as they did before. And you now have new features available, such as the ability to switch the overlay into selection mode:

Figure 4. Selecting Ink: Selecting Ink with lasso selection is supported by the InkOverlay class, but not by the InkCollector class.

this.overlay.EditingMode = Microsoft.Ink.InkOverlayEditingMode.Select;

Visual Basic .NET's version is identical except for the semicolon.

Figure 4 shows an example of the InkOverlay's selection mode (lasso selection) in action.

Both the InkCollector and InkOverlay classes fire events related to Ink input. For instance, you can use the CursorInRange event to detect whenever the pen is moved within about a quarter of an inch of the display surface (electromagnetic digitizers can detect the pen while it is still in the air). For instance, you can use this event to detect whether the pen tip, or the blunt end of the pen is about to tap on the display and then switch the overlay class into edit or erase mode. To handle this event in C#, you need to wire up an event handler:

this.overlay.CursorInRange += new InkCollectorCursorInRangeEventHandler( overlay_CursorInRange);

Then, you need to write the code that handles the event:

private void overlay_CursorInRange(object sender, InkCollectorCursorInRangeEventArgs e) { if (e.Cursor.Inverted) { this.overlay.EditingMode = InkOverlayEditingMode.Delete; } else { this.overlay.EditingMode = InkOverlayEditingMode.Ink; } }

In Visual Basic, you need to make sure that the overlay is defined using WithEvents:

Private WithEvents overlay _ As Microsoft.Ink.InkOverlay

You can then handle the event in the following fashion:

Private Sub overlay_CursorInRange( _ ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e _ As InkCollectorCursorInRangeEventArgs) _ Handles overlay.CursorInRange If e.Cursor.Inverted Then Me.overlay.EditingMode = _ InkOverlayEditingMode.Delete Else Me.overlay.EditingMode = _ InkOverlayEditingMode.Ink End If End Sub

This implements end-of-pen erasing. Of course, you can also use the same event for a number of other purposes. Make sure to explore some of the other available events.

Other Ink Alternatives
InkCollector and InkOverlay objects gather pen input information and interpret it as Ink or gestures. Sometimes you do not want to collect Ink at all and you want to interpret pen data in a different fashion. Or perhaps it is necessary to manipulate pen data before it gets interpreted as Ink. Maybe performance is of utmost importance, or maybe you want to implement an unusual way to render Ink in real time. In those scenarios, an API known as the Real Time Stylus API is the way to go.
The InkOverlay is a powerful version of the InkCollector.
In Windows Vista (the next version of Windows), Microsoft has moved Ink support into the core operating system. The new Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF—formerly known as Avalon) UI technology supports Ink natively on all versions of Windows. The magic object to look for here is known as InkCanvas.

Tablet PC development is much simpler than most developers who have not been exposed to this environment might expect. There are many opportunities and areas that provide a lot of functionality for those who are interested. Taking advantage of those features is what this special CoDe Focus issue is all about.

Does anyone else care that the hole of the day is different than the picture posted in this thread?

Looks kind of like a hyzer-flip Dragon or Sidewinder through the left gap to me.
