Creativity is...

2010-04-15T19:50:00.001-07:00

The art of creativity is an avenue of expression between happiness and pain
it's a release of love derived from the line between sane and insane
it's the parents of art and love kneeling
in the presence of an indescribable feeling
An outrage of thoughts or a tiny inspirational train
A capture of emotion shining through a window pane
desperation left on a canvas or spoken in words
lifted in a drumbeat or drawn in the artists curve
creativity is bold but not boastful
therapy for the confused, leaves the cynic hopeful
the weak stands tall, the shy stands out
eager gets a fix and the quiet gets to shout
A journey through the enchanted Wiz
satisfaction granted, creativity it is....

Tommy Hill $3 Bill

2010-03-18T17:23:00.001-07:00

In the world of fashion many designers and brands are suffering from the state of the economy. When brands are searching for ways the meet their delivery dates and fill orders, Tommy Hilfiger is lounging and its rightfully deserved. The iconic american brand was reportedly sold for close to $3 billion to Phillips- Van Heusen Corp.

PVH is paying roughly $3 billion for Tommy, just over 7.5 times the enterprises value. PVH is also home to american brand Calvin Klein. Now instead of paying the entire amount in cash, PVH paid partly in stock and raised money selling convertible preferred paper to two sophisticated financial investors, LNK Partners and MSD Capital.

Also Tommy has had his best runway show this past season as he closed out Fashion Week in NYC and was the last show at Bryant Park!

Congrats are definitely in order as Tommy has worked so hard in creating a brand that speaks to the soul of Americas youth! With all his hard work, it deserved that he now sit and relax with the joy of his brand!

the flyest bird

2010-02-24T16:37:00.001-08:00

The bird that flies highest regularly is the bar-headed goose Anser indicus, which travels directly over the Himalayas en route between its nesting grounds in Tibet and winter quarters in India. They are sometimes seen flying well above the peak of Mt. Everest at 29,035 ft. This journey was one of the featured stories on the Discovery channels documentory Planet Earth. The journey over the mountains is a difficult one and wind conditions can force the birds backwards where they will rest and try again the next day. Birds have some natural advantages for getting oxygen at high altitudes, in particular an arrangement of air sacs that allows them to circulate inhaled air twice through the lungs with each breath--much more efficient than the in-and-out system used by mammals. Bar-headed geese have special adaptations that make them even better at high-flying than other birds. They have a special type of hemoglobin that absorbs oxygen very quickly at high altitudes, and their capillaries penetrate especially deep within their muscles to transfer oxygen to the muscle fibers.

i was born year of the rooster

2010-02-24T15:20:00.001-08:00

The Rooster is a flamboyant personality, feisty and obstinate. He is quite the extrovert who loves to strut his stuff and is proud of who he is. Outwardly confident, the Rooster is also a trustworthy, hardworking individual. He’ll tell it like it is with no qualms or reservations.

Years of the Rooster

Rooster Years are tenth in the cycle following the Monkey Years, and recur every twelfth year. The Chinese New Year does not fall on a specific date, so it is essential to check the calendar to find the exact date on which each Rooster Year actually begins.

1909*1921*1933*1945*1957*1969*1981*1993*2005

THE SIGN OF THE ROOSTER

Roosters are very loyal individuals. They do not like dishonesty or mockery of any sort. They are blunt, up front and honest people and expect those around them to be the same. Roosters are happiest when they are surrounded by others, at a party or just a social gathering. They even enjoy the spotlight and will exhibit their charisma and wit in a minute. This star quality can be overbearing, for a Rooster expects you to listen to him while he speaks and can become agitated if you don’t. Roosters do have a tendency to brag about themselves and their achievements and demand an attentive audience when doing so.

ROOSTER FACTS:

People born in the Year of the Rooster share certain characteristics. The Rooster Sign is an abbreviated way of characterizing that individual’s personality. Following are features associated with the Sign of the Rooster.

Tenth in order, Chinese name—JI, sign of honesty

Hour—5pm-6:59pm Month—September

Western Counterpart—Virgo

CHARACTERISTICS

Brave, Romantic, Motivated, Proud, Blunt, Resentful, Boastful

IN YOUR ELEMENT

The characteristics of the Rooster are tempered by one of the five Chinese elements of Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth overlaying a 5-year cycle of characteristics on the original 12-year cycle.

THE METAL ROOSTER 1921 AND 1981

Metal Roosters can come off as arrogant and stuck up at times. They need a cushion for that overextended ego and someone to make sure it stays inflated. They are reasonable people who seem to analyze every decision they make and every situation they find themselves in. They are standoffish at times and can let their aggression get in the way of a blossoming friendship or romance. These Roosters should take a breather from their egos long enough to really enjoy what they have to offer.

i had a dream, in ths dream i died

2010-02-12T10:02:00.000-08:00

i woke up ths morning tshirt soaked in sweat. now my body is geared toward wakin up at a certain time, i have my alarm set to go off at the same time everyday n lately i've been wakin up jus minutes before that alarm goes off, like eternally my mind n body already knows wats up but ths morning, althou i woke up like usual b4 my alarm, it was different bcuz rt b4 i woke up smbody killed me in my dreams. the thought bothered me, for one i rarely remember any dream, two i was sweating bout it. i wanted to kno y n looked into it, ths is wat i found...

Nearly any dream you have that refers to death, dying or attending a funeral, or the like, pertain to change. Most all the time this change is very dramatic and major. It can be change in your life attitude or emotional balance. These types of dreams can also symbolize confronting fear, usually fear of death or change. Since most of us will agree that death is the ultimate change, and many people fear it. Death dreams are generally big changes and should never be ignored. Sometimes they really do signify death! Another possible symbol of a death dream is threat. Whichever suits the dream depends on how well the theme was arrived at. Most death dreams are about major change and not about literal death though, so don't panic if you have one. Just patiently go through the analysis process, and make sense of it.

My new hype - Noh mask

2010-02-06T18:50:00.001-08:00

Noh character Japanese masks are one of the more interesting visual features of Noh theatre. While scholars believe that some form of Noh theatre existed before mid-1300s, none of the plays from those days remain in existence today.

Noh Japanese Masks
The actor that plays the main character, known as the shite, will wear a Noh mask unless the character is an adult male. Common Japanese face masks include those of supernatural characters, old men, young men and women. Actors portraying supporting characters, or the tsure, might also wear masks. It depends on the play. Boy actors, or kotata, and other characters, waki, never wear masks.

Expressions of Noh Masks
Many Noh masks could be described as expressionless. When wearing this type of mask, an actor must portray emotion through voice and/or body language.

Another type of mask is designed to show emotion. This mask changes expressions depending on lighting and how the actor who is wearing the mask tilts his head. When an actor turns his head slightly upwards, or terasu, the mask’s face looks like the face is smiling. When the actor turns his face downwards, or kumorasu, the mask’s face appears to cry.

Making Noh Masks
Made from one piece of Japanese cypress, a Noh mask is deliberately lightweight as the actor may have to wear the mask throughout the entire performance. After the outline of the mask is finished and the holes for the nose, mouth and eyes have been carved out, the mask is painted with several layers of a gesso/glue combination. After the gesso/glue has dried and been sanded, the face is painted. The mask may also be gilded with eyes inlaid with metal. It can take up to several months to make a single Noh mask.
retail around $570.00 @ http://www.nohmask21.com/eu/index.html

BIG BROTHER THANKS YOU! PARDON MY RAMBLING, BUT....
IT'S GRAMMY WEEKEND IN LA AND IT'S MAKING ONE THING REALLY CLEAR... I CAN ENJOY EVERY MOMENT FROM EVERY PARTY FROM EVERY CELEB'S PERSPECTIVE... FROM MY LIVING ROOM!! I KNOW WHERE EVERYONE WILL BE AT ALL TIMES.. BECAUSE THEY TWEET IT!

I REMEMBER WHEN THE WORLD SCOFFED AT THE IDEA OF CAMERAS WATCHING OUR EVERY MOVE, PHONES BEING TAPPED, MICROCHIPS IN HAND TO TRACK PEOPLE DOWN, RECEIVING THE 'MARK OF THE BEAST'... SOUNDED LIKE SOME SCIENCE FICTION sh*t! IT SOUNDED LIKE SUCH AN INVASION OF PRIVACY. WE IMAGINED HELPLESS HUMAN BEINGS LINED UP AROUND BARBED WIRE-LACED BUILDINGS, BEING HELD AT GUNPOINT BY ARMED SOLDIERS, FORCING US TO GET CHIPS EMBEDDED IN OUR HANDS.... OR DIE!!

UNFORTUNATELY, BIG BROTHER IS SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER WHILE WE LINGER IN PRE-SCHOOL LOGIC. THEY WERE CLEVER ENOUGH TO TURN OUR NIGHTMARES INTO TOYS!! THE CAMERA, THE MICROCHIP IN HAND, THE TAPPED PHONE ALL EXIST IN SEVERAL UBERFUN ADDICTIVE DEVICES... BLACKBERRYS, IPHONES, OUR FANCY LAPTOPS, SEXY GPS CLAD WHIPS! THEY PLAYED RIGHT INTO OUR VANITIES AND WON!

WITH THE DEVICES IN PLACE, ALL THAT'S LEFT IS A SOCIAL 'NETWORKING' (TRACKING) FORUM WHERE EVERYONE CAN REPORT ALL THAT IS HAPPENING EVERY SECOND OF EVERYDAY... TWITTER!

I FELL VICTIM TO THE TWITTER BUG ALSO. IT WAS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH SO MANY PEOPLE IN ALMOST REAL TIME. AND EVEN AS I BACK OFF TWITTER, I CAN'T ESCAPE IT'S EYES! I CHECKED MY ACCOUNT AFTER A PARTY LAST NIGHT AND THERE WERE SEVERAL OF THESE TYPES OF TWEETS.. "CHILLIN AT PRE-GRAMMY JUMP-OFF WIT MY BOY @AFFIONCROCKETT, @MYSWOLLNUTS, @YOMAMASDAD, @ETCETC..". b*tch, I DON'T KNOW YOU!!!! STOP TWITCHIN (TWITTER SNITCHIN)!! WHAT IF I HAD WARRANTS?!?!?! WHAT IF THE FEDS WERE LOOKIN FOR @MYSWOLLNUTS?!?!? NOW WE'RE ALL ACCOMPLICES!!

CONSIDER THIS A PLEA... TO ALL MY FAM, FRIENDS, AND PEEPS I NEVER MET. STOP PUTTING YOURSELF AND EVERYONE AROUND YOU ON BLAST. IT SEEMS LIKE HARMLESS FUN, BUT COULD COME BACK TO HAUNT US ALL LATER. TO ALL MY CELEB COMRADES, IT'S TIME TO RE-ESTABLISH YOUR MYSTIQUE. LESS IS MORE. CONSIDER YOUR SAFETY. STOP TWEETING ALL YOUR BIZNESS. WHERE YOU ARE, WHO YOU'RE WITH, WHAT CAR YOU'RE DRIVING... STALKERS, STICK-UP KIDS, KIDNAPPERS, AND MOST OF ALL.. BIG BROTHER THANKS US ALL FOR MAKING THEIR JOBS SO EASY!

Jay-z to daddy

2010-01-31T18:37:00.000-08:00

Jay-Z is rocking the pages of the new issue of Sweden’s premiere rap magazine Kingsize. And we’ve got some translated quotes from Hov himself on his un-perfect marriage to Beyonce when you read the rest…

You’ve just turned 40 years old, do you have any plans for starting a family soon? You and Beyonce talk about that?
Jay-Z: “I’d like to be a dad some day and I love children. You start your life with expectations and dreams, then life unfolds and it doesn’t always turn out the way you imagined. Life is what it is. And at this point it’s up to somebody else.
Do you consider your and Beyonce’s marriage as role model for a perfect marriage?
Jay-Z: “I don’t think there is such thing as a perfect relationship. It is unrealistic and hoping for too much. I don’t think it is worth all that pressure. We also have our struggles and problems.”

Pocket shower

2010-01-31T18:17:00.001-08:00

For all outdoor adventurers out there, this is the ultimate accessory to own: a pocket shower. If you have experienced the need of proper cleaning in the middle of nowhere and had no other alternatives than wet wipes, you will sure appreciate this invention. When unfolded, the shower turns into a waterproof storage able to hold up to ten litres of water at a time. Any trouble washing properly when outdoors or on a long trip is now history. Of course, if the sun is up and shining, the water can turn warm and the shower will become an even more pleasant experience. It works easily with the use of a nearby tree to hang it from. You just have to get out the incorporated shower head and that’s it. So, next time you venture outdoors, be sure to pack this handy pocket shower.

2010-01-30T19:57:00.001-08:00

Do not doubt I love you, even though
My actions may have undermined my words.
We could be as connubial as birds
Had I not let my wild longings show.
I cannot help wanting to devour
All the world that comes before my eyes;
But more than all the world is that which lies
Within the precious circle of our bower.

I'll do anything to keep you with me;
Our love will last as long as you have will.
Despite my untamed need, my love is still
A rock against the surges of the sea.

Black toilet paper?

2010-01-26T18:10:00.001-08:00

If your home, is a real design palace, then you can't afford a design faux-pas when it comes to the details. The ultimate detail that your guest will love to talk about on their way home may not be what you think ... You can now upscale your bathroom with a chic shade of toilet paper. I would personally go for the black, but green, orange and red rae also available for your precious guests. Price €2,17 for one roll !

THE CHROMOTHERAPY SHOWER

2010-01-26T18:05:00.001-08:00

Like Mika would sing, "Relax ... take it eaaaasy!" ... easy to sing but can you really take some time to relax !? This shower may be what you need. Two central lights illuminate the free flowing water in a warm yellow, passionate red, mellow blue or green earthy light ... all you have to do is to choose the right color for you !

+ Red, is considered to be the colour of life and desire. Red is said to increase the pulse rate, to raise the blood pressure and the rate of breathing Red would generally be applied to support the circulatory functions and is claimed to be used with success to combat anemia, asthma, diseases of the larynx, certain skin diseases and chronic coughs.

+ Blue is the colour of peace and infinity. Blue is claimed to profoundly calm and relax us. This acclaimed relaxing and tranquilizing property of blue is applied for relieving headaches and migraines, the pains of stomach, muscle cramps, and even liver disorders. But don't stay too long in your shower, an excess of this colour in a person could bring about doubt, distrust, apathy, and melancholia.

+ Yellow is the symbol of the sun at the horizon. Yellow is said to have effects that greatly assist metabolism and glandular activity. A person with an excess of this colour could express lack of concentration, malice, and deviousness ... beware of not dropping your soap !

+ Green is called the colour of possession and of the will to possess. Green is also considered to be the colour of concentration. Green is supposed to promote relaxation of the organs and stimulate general detoxification of the body.

These inspired bathroom design ideas from Kaldewei show the extent of the company’s vision. So different, yet each so luxurious… In the first design shown here the glamorous shower takes centre stage – quite literally – surrounded by dramatic red drapes. Located within the bedroom itself, the heavy, sensual drapes further separate the showering area and provide a touch of privacy. The Piatto oversized circular shower base adds to the impact with its unusual lightweight aspect. Turned up at the edge, the shower plate practically floats. Next, Kaldewei focuses on the relaxing effects of colored built-in LED lights in a whirlpool bathtub. The modern, rectangular bathtub has a stone finish that blends it into the wall itself. An attractive slated panel also continues around the room from over the tub to unite the decor. The whole corner area is illuminated from the LED light within the Vivo Turbo bathtub, adding a futuristic ambiance. The last featured bathroom idea from Kaldewei involves a lot of water everywhere. This bathroom looks simply amazing – water within water within water. The seascape outside is the beginning. Then, there is a shallow pool which unites the inside and outside. And finally, the Bassino bathtub appears to be floating in this pool, giving a sensation of boundless freedom to bathing...

Ceramic Bathroom Tile Ideas, Designs, Inspiration Images from Franco Pecchioli

2010-01-25T18:04:00.001-08:00

Inspired by the life aquatic, this contemporary bathroom features a new ceramic tile collection by Italian designer Franco Pecchioli that’s sure to provide you with some great ideas. For your inspiration, we've included many images with the amazing tile designs ... Drenched in vivid oceanic shades of aquamarine speckled with black and white, the bathroom is bathed in the soothing tones of the deep.

The layering of pattern and color – one of the year’s hottest trends – comes to life in this chic space. Square tiles adorn floors and walls, while mosaic motif tiles add further interest to the walls. Surrounding this amazing sink and matching fixtures by Ideal Standard, a continuous aquamarine slab countertop features a glossy, wet finish that resembles the water’s surface. The piece de resistance of this elegant bathroom is the bathtub, finished inside and out with a blend of mixed motifs – ceramic slabs on the exterior, square ceramic tiles lining the interior, and flower-pattern tiles at the very bottom.

An announcement of their separation is expected to be made soon - ending months of speculation that the five-year relationship is on the rocks.

A source told the News of the World: "The document was signed in early January. Both Brad and Angelina had signed it.

Lil Wayne has 20 song completed for the Carter 4

2010-01-23T11:34:00.000-08:00

Recording Engineer Finis White, better known as KY has one of the most important jobs in the music industry. He is Lil Wayne’s right hand man/engineer in the studio, crafting the sound of all the rappers songs. In addition to working with Lil Wayne, KY also works closely with Wayne’s supergroup Young Money. Recently KY spoke to NewLilWayne.com about what exactly he does as an engineer for Lil Wayne and the Cash Money/Young Money family.
“Well an engineer is the person that makes the music sound the way it sounds. A good engineer is a must. You can have a hot song but if it doesn’t sound the way it’s supposed to, it might not come out hot. Also the engineer has to understand the artists that they are working with. Every artist has their own way they record. If the engineer is messing up it throws the vibe off, which in turn affects the way the song turns out. The difference between engineer and a producer. The engineer records the song, the lyrics, tracks, the beat, and gives the song its sound. The producer is the person that puts the song together as far as lyrics and arrangement. The producer is not always the person that makes the beat. In my case Wayne produces all of the songs because he has the vision of what the song should be” KY told NewLilWayne.com.
KY also spoke on his involvement in both the Rebirth and We Are Young Money albums saying “I had fun doing Rebirth; it was something different for me and Wayne. I haven’t done Rock before, so it was fun getting to use different plug-ins and just overall doing new things. Wayne is playing guitar on almost every song. Producers Infamous, Drew [Correa] and Cool & Dre came through big time for us on Rebirth. Drew and Infamous would make tracks on the spot in the studio with Wayne. Cool & Dre just kept dropping off new heat every week. J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League also helped out a lot. They sent me a lot of great tracks as well. Shanell also was a very big part in helping to create Rebirth. She of course wrote the single “Prom Queen” but she helped craft a lot of the project. My favorite tracks on Rebirth are On Fire, Paradice, Drop The World, and Knockout. The Young Money album was fun to make. Everybody would fly down to Miami. We like a big family. Everybody is cool and down to earth. I love the album though because it gave everybody a chance to let people get a look at what everybody can do. Plus I love to work with everybody else besides Wayne, because Wayne already knows what he wants in the studio as far as sound. I get to be more creative with everyone else. I like giving each artist their own personal sound. Kane Beatz and Chase N Cashe did most of the production on the Young Money album. I met both of them in Atlanta before I worked with Wayne. So when Wayne said I need beats I called the best people I knew that had a new sound. I got my first mixing credit on this album also, “Steady Mobbin” that was big for me. My favorite tracks on We Are Young Money are Steady Mobbin, Gooder, Pass The Dutch and Bedrock. Also shouts out to Mike Banger and Jewfro. They were a big help with both projects.”
According to KY one of the main aspects that hurts artists and labels in today’s environment is the fact that music leaks onto the internet everyday.
“I hate when music leaks because of course people love what we doing, but most of the time those songs aren’t done and over at YM we pride ourselves on quality. They would love the songs more if they were done. It’s not really much we can do because they hack emails or people might come into the studio after we leave and get the songs and put them out. We don’t email anymore so it has calmed down a lot but as soon as we do send it out, it’s on the street in less than a week. Another thing is that when songs leak that were going on an album it pushes the album back, because we have to keep making new songs that people haven’t heard, “ KY said about how this affected work with Lil Wayne and Cash Money/Young Money.

FYI: Vans Sneakers

2010-01-23T04:47:00.000-08:00

Paul Van Doren is the creator of one of the biggest skate shoe companies in the world, Vans. Van Doren, located in Southern California founded Vans on March 15, 1966, but was known as Van Doren Rubber Company at the time. At the beginning of Vans each pair featured diamonds on the tops and sole. With people wearing them and skating they eventually cracked and fell apart.

Introduced to the skate company was the waffle sole, which was vertical lines which increased friction and grip. At this time, Vans primarily marketed to surfers, skateboarders, and punk rockers.

In the 1980s Vans took a turn for the worse, when the known skate company started to produce baseball and football sneakers. This turned a lot of loyal fans away and forced the company into bankruptcy in 1984. Four years later after being submerged into bankruptcy, McCown DeLeeuw Company bought Vans, but did not go public until 1991.

After Vans switched hands retail stores opened with large skate parks inside, with locations at The Block at Orange, Ontario Mills, The Great Mall of the Bay Area in Milpitas, Moorestown Mall, the Plaza at King of Prussia, Carnaby Street in London, and Potomac Mills. Only two remain till this day which is The Black at Orange location and one in Orlando.

Brown down: Adidas

2010-01-22T14:16:00.001-08:00

Despite the use of a less often seen colorway and crocodile skin, the Air Jordan II “Brown Croc” was not received too well by our readers. However, because it’s still chilly out and colorful sneakers seem out of place in this weather, the brown and black themes remain a favorite around this time of the year. So perhaps the adidas Conductor high pictured here will better meet some sneakerheads’ desires. It comes in a predominantly brown/black colorway with both suede and leather used on the upper. Finished off with a white sole, this could just be the pair of brown sneakers missing from your collection. You can purchase these now from select overseas retailers or wait and hope for a stateside release.

must have sneaker: Nike Air Max A Lot Black/Varsity Red-White

2010-01-22T14:08:00.000-08:00

On Monday we brought you news of another Nike hybrid. This one brings together the Nike Air More Uptempo and Nike Air Pippen II (as evidenced by Nike’s diagram on the tongue); it has been named the Nike Air Max A Lot. The first colorway we spotted this new silhouette in was Rasta-themed and did not seem to entice too many of our readers. However, we’d like to now show you a black/varsity red-white pair that might just change your mind. The upper is completely black, including the “AIR” lettering, with a patent leather toe cap. The mudguard comes in red that stretches a little into the otherwise white sole. Lastly, on the heel of the shoe you’ll see that “nike” is spelled out, reaching down to just above where the midsole begins. We all expected this colorway to drop because of how famous it is and how fitting it would be since Scottie Pippen played for the Chicago Bulls. However, what are your thoughts on the execution of the black/varsity red-white? Is it enough to make you think slightly more highly about this colorway as opposed to the Rasta one?
