At Least 12 People Killed In Deadly Midwest Storms  posté le vendredi 02 mars 2012 04:58

Post by (hollister) Sep 2012

Update at 9:05 p.m. ET. 3 Reported Dead In Tennessee

The Associated Press is reporting that at least three people were killed in eastern Tennessee after storms packing high winds tore roofs from buildings and flattened trees.

Two of the deaths were in Cumberland County, about 60 miles west of Knoxville, and the third in DeKalb County. The fatalities were confirmed by an emergency management official in Cumberland County and a National Weather Service spokeswoman.

Update at 4:30 p.m. ET. As Many As 10 Tornadoes And 170 MPH Winds:

The Weather Channel reports that "as many as 10 tornadoes touched down in Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana Wednesday morning." And as for the twister that tore through Harrisburg, Ill., there's this stunning estimate:

    "The tornado that hit Harrisburg, IL early this morning has now been rated EF-4, with 170 mph winds."

Update at 3:15 p.m. ET. On The Death Toll:

The Associated Press now says at least nine people were killed by the storms. According to Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, who was just on CNN, there were three fatalities in his state. According to the AP and authorities now holding a press conference, six people died in Harrisburg, Ill. More than 100 people are said to have been injured.

Update at 12:19 p.m. ET. 'Entire Neighborhoods Destroyed':

Jennifer Fuller, of NPR member station WSIU, was in front of the Harrisburg Medical Center when she talked to our Newscast unit a short while ago.

She said that when she canvased the city, she saw "entire neighborhoods destroyed."

Jennifer said she saw some trees split in half next to piles of rubble that used to be homes.

"It's devastating for these people," she reported.hollister new york

She said because the severe storms — it is not yet confirmed if they spun tornadoes — moved through Harrisburg in the early morning, it's possible some people were asleep.

"It's ironic," she said, "that just this week the Illinois Emergency Management Agency was telling people to be ready for storm season in March and to have those weather radios handy."

A shoe-in for the holidays  posté le mercredi 14 décembre 2011 10:06

Post by (ugg boots schweiz) Oct 2011

Don’t panic, but it is officially 12 days before Christmas! If you’re the prudent type, you would have finished most of your Christmas shopping by now. If not, the last-minute scramble through malls and bazaars at this point could be more stressful than driving through EDSA on a Friday night. Women are particularly difficult to shop for because figuring out what we like is basically like trying to feel your way through the dark. If only there was a particular gift item that all women could use and appreciate … like a great pair of shoes! Not sure where to start? Here is a shortlist of 12 pairs of shoes starting from classic flats all the way up to five-inch skyscrapers. Think of each pair as a marker for the last 12 days leading up to the most highly anticipated holiday of the year. Best of all, nobody ever said that we women have to buy them for someone else — why not gift a pair or two to ourselves? It’s not called the “season for giving” for nothing! #1: Quilted Nappa Leather Flats In Rose By Pretty Ballerinas (P9,950) Pretty Ballerinas is a brand well-known for being the most comfortable flats in town, making them perfect for women who need to give those arches a rest. This pair in a unique shade of rose — white with a touch of pink, with the tips capped in black — is nothing short of sweet and dainty. The design is versatile enough to suit everyone from your lola, who needs a stylish pair for her daily mall strolls, to your wife or mother for lounging on the weekends, yet are still age-appropriate enough for your prepubescent inaanak who possesses style beyond her years. #2 Coated Black Snakeskin Leather Flats With Pretty Ballerina Engraved Buckle (P9,950) Nothing spells l-u-x-e like an exotic skin. These flats were made for the woman who refuses to give up her heels because she can’t find a pair of flats that have enough punch and attitude for her. The snakeskin texture is coated for high shine and the shoes are topped off with the Pretty Ballerina logo on the buckles in front. If there was ever a pair of flats that practically begged for a night out, it would be these. #3 Stella Lunakitten Heels (P7,450) From the (literal) down-to-earth vibe of flats, let’s kick things up slightly with kitten heels from Stella Luna, which are available in black, royal blue and wine. A happy medium between ballerina flats and sky-high pumps, busy working women will appreciate the practicality of the kitten heel. They lend the right amount of height that can still give woman an air of authority, yet will allow them to run from meeting to meeting without their feet giving out, and even make it to after-work cocktails. #4 Stella Luna Wedges (P7,750) Talk about business in the front, party in the back! Up front, these wedges look like pumps, but from the side they reveal their true, comfortable selves! Take your pick from these office-ready wedges that come in black, black-gray, gray and red. Signaling the right urban-chic vibe with their polished leather upper, round-toe and low-wedge heel, they are the epitome of day-to-night shoes. #5 Red Patent Pumps By What For (P4,950) From wedges masquerading as pumps, we arrive at the real deal. Coming in at a modest three-inch height, the classic shape and red shade of these pumps are nothing short of sexy and are totally appropriate for the holidays (and Chinese New Year!). These heels are for women who like the feeling of instant confidence and poise brought about by wearing a pair of heels, yet are unwilling to bear the pain of wearing a pair that’s too high! #6 Stella Luna Satin Pumps (P6,950) Going somewhere tonight? These satin-finished pumps with a simple bow detail are a tad dressier than the usual pair of pumps. The bow adds a feminine playfulness to any ensemble, from a simple pair of jeans and a T-shirt to that long-awaited Christmas cocktail party! Available in red and black, they also feature a more moderately sized heel for those who are still afraid to tread on higher ground, so to speak.# #7 Schutz Velvet Pointed Black Pumps With Embellishments On Heel And Bow (P6,350) Wish your shoes could name-drop for you? It would certainly be less tacky that way, especially if they’re name-dropping British royalty! Similar to the heels that Catherine Mountbatten-Windsor, Duchess of Cambridge, would wear to parties back when she was still known as just Kate Middleton, these three-inch pointed embellished velvet pumps are basic yet glamorous. How many pairs of heels can do that? #8 Schutz Atanado Leather Pumps In Chinchilla Brown (P6,950) Just because it’s Christmas, it doesn’t mean that every pair of heels that you give out or put on has to be red! Get back to basics (and reach for the skies) with these five-inch gray leather pumps by Schutz. Made of durable material fashioned into a classic shape (that feature highly coveted toe cleavage — only ladies understand how important that little detail is!), this pair was made for everyday wear. #9 Schutz Nubuck Pumps With Stitch Details In Rubine (P5,950) Can you say pretty in pink? Channel your inner Molly Ringwald with these muted pink pumps with stitching details. Though the hue is decidedly girly, it is still subdued enough to be mixed and matched with different outfits, whether day or night. After all, this season will leave you seeing so much red that pink would be a welcome change. #10 Stella Luna Block-Heel Pumps (P8,950) In a pinch and have nothing left to wear but that trusty LBD in your closet? Then you’ll be glad to have these block-heel pumps from Stella Luna. Available in Borro, Grafite and Acciaio, these are jaw-dropping dress pumps will allow you to make quite an entrance, no matter how many times you’ve worn that LBD before. Don’t be afraid of the block heel, though — there is a platform built at the front for ultimate stability and balance. #11 Stella Luna Peep-Toe Pumps (P8,750)hollister deutschlandJust got a great pedicure and don’t want to waste it? Then throw on a pair of peep-toes! This pair by Stella Luna puts a directional spin on your next party look. Made of pony hair and available in grigio-silver, blue-silver and nero silver, they’re just the perfect pair for whenever you need a kind of pick-me-up to make you feel extra special, no matter what you’re wearing. #12 Stella Luna Dress Pumps (P6,950) And just like that, it’s Christmas! As far as these brightly colored pumps are concerned, at least. The ultimate in dress pumps, they are available in light camel, purple, red and blue. If ever there was a pair of heels created specifically for high-octane celebration, this would be it. They’re the firecrackers of heels! Without even trying too hard, you’re going to light up a room in these babies, even before they turn on the Christmas lights.

Monumentaler Steinkreis stand mit älteren Strukturen in Verbindung  posté le mercredi 14 décembre 2011 10:04

Post by (ugg boots schweiz) Oct 2011

Britisch-österreichisches Forscherteam entdeckte Zusammenhang zwischen Megalithkreis und sogenanntem Cursus Wien - In der näheren Umgebung des berühmten Steinkreises von Stonehenge in Südengland existierten bereits lange vor der heute sichtbaren Anlage jungsteinzeitliche Strukturen. Ein britisch-österreichisches Forscherteam untersuchte Monumente, die bereits etwa 500 Jahre vor der Errichtung der Steine entstanden sind. Mit Hilfe von magnetischen Analysemethoden und Bodenradar konnten die Wissenschafter zeigen, dass große Gruben genau dort ausgehoben wurden, wo - vom Steinkreis aus gesehen - die Sonne am Tag der Sommersonnenwende auf und unter geht. Bereits seit vergangenem Jahr arbeiten die Wissenschafter von der Universität Birmingham und dem Ludwig Boltzmann Institut für Archäologische Prospektion in Wien an der großflächigen Vermessung der Umgebung von Stonehenge, wie der Direktor des Boltzmann Instituts, Wolfgang Neubauer, erklärte. Die Forscher haben eine bereits bekannte, rund 1,5 Kilometer nördlich des Steinkreises gelegene noch ältere Struktur - den sogenannten Cursus - erstmals vollständig mit den magnetischen Methoden und Bodenradar vermessen. Überraschende Leere Bei dem Cursus handelt es sich um eine etwa 100 Meter breite und drei Kilometer lange Anlage, die mit einem Graben und einem Wall abgegrenzt war. Datiert wird ihre Entstehung auf etwa 500 Jahre vor der Errichtung des weltweit berühmten Monuments. Bei ihren aktuellen Untersuchungen waren die Wissenschafter von der Leere der Anlage überrascht, so Neubauer, denn außer zwei großen Gruben konnten keine größeren Strukturen gefunden werden. Diese Gruben seien so gebaut, dass darin vermutlich große hölzerne Strukturen - ähnlich den Monolithen - gestanden haben. Ihre besondere Lage deutet aber darauf hin, dass der Ort bereits vor der Errichtung der Steine mit großer Bedeutung aufgeladen war und auch in Verbindung mit dem Platz, wo sich heute der Steinkreis befindet, stand: Zwei gerade Linien zwischen dem sogenannten "Heel Stone" in Stonehenge und den beiden Gruben markieren genau die Orte von Sonnenauf- und -untergang am Tag der Sommersonnenwende. Verbindet man den Mittelpunkt zwischen den beiden Gruben mit dem Zentrum von Stonehenge, zeigt diese Linie genau zum höchsten Sonnenstand an diesem Tag also exakt nach Süden. Vorläufer des Steinkreises Die britischen Wissenschafter vermuten nun, dass am Tag der Sommersonnenwende Prozessionen entlang des Cursus - vom Sonnenaufgangspunkt über das Mittag-Zentrum bis zum Sonnenuntergangspunkt - stattgefunden haben könnten. Der Steinkreis und der Cursus wurden früher "als zwei unterschiedliche Dinge wahrgenommen", so Neubauer, für den der Cursus "auf jeden Fall ein Vorläufer des Steinkreises gewesen ist". Es stelle sich nun die Frage, was an dessen Stelle dort früher war. Auch in der kreisförmigen Anlage hat es Monumente aus Holz gegeben.ugg boots schweiz"Das ist ein weiterer Puzzlestein in der Gesamtlösung der Bedeutung von Stonehenge", so Neubauer, der das Ziel verfolgt, das gesamte Areal rund um das Monument zu untersuchen, um zu einer "Gesamtinterpretation dieser Landschaft" zu gelangen. "Wir werden aber nicht nach zwei Jahren die Lösung haben", so der Archäologe. Die Untersuchungen würden aber das Wissen über Stonehenge grundsätzlich verändern. Die Entwicklung von Methoden zur großflächigen Untersuchungen von archäologisch bedeutsamen Landschaften, ist der Forschungsfokus von Neubauer und seinen Kollegen. Neben Stonehenge analysiert das Ludwig Boltzmann Institut in Kooperation mit verschiedenen österreichischen und internationalen Partnern beispielsweise auch Ausgrabungsstätten aus der Wikingerzeit in Norwegen und Schweden. In Carnuntum konnte mit diesen Methoden zuletzt die Gladiatorenschule entdeckt werden. (APA, red)

Boombox's Richard Mortimer launches new style magazine Ponystep Read more: http://www.metro.co.uk/l  posté le jeudi 03 novembre 2011 05:08

Post by (ugg boots schweiz) Oct 2011

Richard Mortimer is feeling fuzzy. ‘We had our launch party last night and I’m still recovering,’ he says. Another late one? ‘I left at 1am. I just don’t have the energy after working all hours.’ This is ironic, given his links with London nightlife. Mortimer is a party organiser and club promoter extraordinaire – and the man behind Boombox, the flamboyant club in Shoreditch, east London that some argue gave the capital’s fashion scene a much-needed boost. ‘Boombox was for outsiders,’ says Mortimer, although fashion’s hippest names, including Gareth Pugh, Kim Jones and Cassette Playa, were regulars. There wasn’t an entrance fee and the dress code was free-spirited. ‘I wanted it to be the kind of place anybody could come to if they had the right attitude,’ he says. Mortimer ended Boombox at its zenith (‘I was wary of becoming that person flogging the same thing years later’) and this year launched Ponystep, a biannual style magazine. Fat, glossy and irreverent, Ponystep picked up where Boombox left off, most significantly in the figures that feature on its pages. Club regulars and Mortimer’s mates will recognise themselves. ‘I made so many amazing friendships doing the club and they stayed with me,’ he says. ‘It’s all crossed over.’ Dame Edna Everage, Ponystep. Hello possums: Dame Edna Everage is on the cover of Ponystep Aided by fashion photographer heavyweights, including Juergen Teller and Matt Irwin, the first issue offered Vivienne Westwood in conversation with Katharine Hamnett, Mark Ronson dressed in Roland Mouret and a feature on London’s new club kids. The second issue celebrates some of London’s most distinctive personalities, including The Wapping Project’s Jules Wright and milliner Thelma Speirs, as well as Nicola Roberts, Lisa Stansfield and Franca Sozzani, editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, as you’ve never seen them before. Other stories include Pete Burns in conversation with DJ Princess Julia, Erin O’Connor in lingerie, a photoshoot featuring a RealDoll as a model and a feature on former Ponystep staffer Mavi Staiano. This mix of home and Hollywood is a continuation, in spirit, of Boombox’s no-charge policy. ‘There’s something nice about playing the two off against each other, the highbrow against the lowbrow,’ says Mortimer. Abercrombie and Fitch Schweiz The magazine’s spirit is summed up by its latest cover girls, Donatella Versace, Dame Edna Everage and Elvira. ‘We could have put a model on the cover but it didn’t feel right,’ he says. ‘We’re an independent magazine, so we can take a risk. From the start, I wanted Donatella – Versace is about to have a real renaissance. When you meet Dame Edna, there’s such a sense of star quality. You feel as though you’re in the presence of someone amazing. And I’ve been obsessed with Elvira for years. She’s a camp icon: funny, witty and sharp but portraying this ditzy goth.’Wenn Sie an ugg boots australia interessiert sind,bitte besuchen unsere Website:ugg boots sale
