Nalakuvara 起駕,東方新街牌上身!

Nalakuvara 起駕,東方新街牌上身品牌故事Nalakuvara, a creation started in 2006, with an aim to definestreet fashion from an oriental perspective. The term originates from ancient Hindu, and is best known as Ne-Zha, the rebellious and precocious child-god in Chinese mythology.It symbolizes what our brand and company represents: energetic young minds that are honest and courageous, living by passion and conviction. Through a full line of street fashion products and byproducts, the new voice of youth culture has arrived. Peace!Nalakuvara 以中國神話故事中的哪吒作為品牌的主要意象表徵,彰顯年輕次文化中的熱情活力,勇敢批判,,誠實忠於自我的特色。試圖以東方文化的深厚底蘊,重新詮釋 street fashion,期望在主流西方文化價值壟斷下發聲,帶給全球喜愛年輕街頭文化的群眾不同的觀點與感受。我們期望 Nalakuvara 挑動每個人壓抑在心中深處的不安定靈魂,找回赤子之心,並將大家從喘不過氣的期望與體制內解放出來。由華人創造的東方新街頭品牌 Nalakuvara 已於5/21信義誠品B1隆重開幕!...

What the hell does that mean?
That was my initial response.
I uploaded a new version of my .NET 2.0 website.  In the process I had changed it from a File based web site, to an ASP.NET web application (same as for .NET 1.1)
After uploading it, I got that error while my site was compiling.
Eventually I tracked it down.  I replaced my files instead of deleting the site clean and starting over.
As part of that, I left behind the PrecompiledApp.config file from the old version.
When I deleted it, suddenly everything started working again.

Skinning the Matrix

Warning: Vague concepts approaching. Those whose hearts favor more concrete design observations may be at risk of losing their sanity reading this post. Proceed with caution.Defining the Design Matrix is a bit like peeling an onion. You start by removing the visible outer layers, progressing deeper and deeper into the core of the onion until at last, there is no onion left to peel. At this point you might conclude there was actually no onion at all, but your watery eyes and discarded layers speak otherwise. So it is with understanding the Design Matrix we currently create within. After we're done peeling, I hope you're not left empty handed (or empty headed for that matter). Let’s begin.You don't need to be Steven Heller to spot the outer layer of the Design Matrix. The outer layer is visible everywhere. It consists of these well worn concepts: design versus art, business, corporate, mediocrity, do-it-yourselfers, low-ballers, the uneducated, the system, etc. It is design versus whatever is out there separate from design. This outermost Design Matrix layer is embodied in SpeakUp, Brand New, HOW, Print and a host of other avatars...

You did What Mum?

Holy Smoke: In the Swinging Sixties, women used to drape their hair over the ironing board and iron it flat! Hey presto - smooth, straight hair............or a quick way to a short hairdo! Botox 1920s style: women painted egg white on the skin every night for its tightening effect. Who needs botox?Legs to Die For: During WWII, women painted a tan-coloured cream on their legs, drew a dark line for the seam, a dark band to mimic the stocking top and sometimes even painted on the suspenders. Drove the lads crazy!

Bel Bacio- Delicate and Feminine Jewelry

Megan describes her work better than I can. This quote comes from her site. You can find Bel Bacio on Bagadoodle.com and at the Bel Bacio site.

"I've always felt that jewelry should enhance the natural beauty of the wearer rather than overpower it. This is reflected in my designs, as my creations are delicate and feminine, with unique details. The latest jewelry fashions are kept in mind during my creative process, but I always remain true to my own style, so the result is a fusion of modern flair with classic chic. I handcraft every piece of jewelry I sell, so no one item is the same as another.

Each item is constructed using genuine semi-precious gemstones, pearls, Balinese beads, Swarovski crystals, sterling silver and gold filled components. Every pearl and gemstone are hand picked for each piece of jewelry."
