Envelope

“Remember that a kite rises against, not with the wind”We need to create the conditions in cities and cultures where people can think, plan and act with imagination. The capacity to imagine is being squashed by the hierarchy of risk culture, the doom and gloom corporate system that places an ability to mitigate loss above the blue sky creative capacity. Ideas, knowledge and intercultural imagi

I can never resist those sales... and so I have some plants to still put into the few garden spaces ready.

Watering time is always an opportunity to see what new thing is blooming and

Deadpool: Red Envelope Files For BankruptcyI can’t say we didn’t see this coming. Quirky online gift catalog site Red Envelope filed for bankruptcy on April 17, according to an SEC filing. Its assets will be purchased by Creative Catalogs in exchange for $5.7 million and the assumption of debt. Red Envelope is also getting a $4.5 million debtor-in-possession line of credit from Creative Catalogs and Granite Creek FlexCap. Two weeks ago, Wells Fargo terminated Red Envelope’s last credit lifeline, and it started to lay off employees. This could be an early sign that other e-tailing sites may be hit hard by the economic slowdown. Or it could just mean that Red Envelope was poorly managed. Either way, Red Envelope will not emerge from the deadpool. Crunch Network:

New Yorkers enjoy a reputation for not being the friendliest or the most helpful people, but my experience while recently training for the car-pushing record was just the opposite. In fact, I was amazed at how kind my fellow New Yorkers could be! The record for car-pushing by an individual is 12 miles. The car has to weigh a minimum of 1609 pounds. The engine cannot be running and a person must sit in the driver’s seat to steer. I was practicing with a friend’s Ford Festiva (which weighs about 1850 pounds) around a ½ mile loop along streets of Howard Beach, Queens. Guinness requires you to push the car on a loop to eliminate any possibility (and advantages) of a downhill course. On a loop, whatever respite you get from the downhills, you eventually pay for on the corresponding uphills

tate & Nature is the debut EP from Dublin three piece envelope. Produced by Ciaran Bradshaw, this release marks the end of a frantic first year for the band, resulting in 5 tracks that are exemplorary of the fact that they not only love to create large amounts of visceral and abrupt sounds, but they are also prone to quiet moments of romantic and meloncholic canoodling. Tracklisting: 1. Poltis 2. Cost of Living 3. Subplots 4. Store in a Dark Place 5. Headstart

Following in the footsteps of Radiohead's overwhelming successful release of In Rainbows through direct web distribution, Trent Reznor and Saul Williams are taking a similar approach with the release of The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! Estimates range from $5-12 million in download revenue that Radiohead has earned so far from their on site distribution efforts. Despite those numbers there is still some skepticism as to how successful lesser known artists will be using... [Please visit the totally fuzzy blog for the full post...]

Just a few years ago, a car that could show you its location on a digital map, take control if you begin to skid, or automatically maintain a set distance from a vehicle in front might have seemed like a glimpse from some far-flung future highway. But these functions are becoming increasingly commonplace in today's vehicles. What's next? How about cars that can automatically brake to a stop in traffic without the driver ever touching the brake pedal? Or ones that can parallel park themselves at the touch of a button? Or vehicles that brake for a pedestrian, even if you're looking the other way? Here, we look at 10 of the latest auto technologies that are either already on the road or coming soon. As with most leading-edge features, the majority of these are now available only in higher-priced luxury models, and even then are often expensive options. But, as we've seen with antilock brakes, electronic stability control, and navigation systems, we can expect many to

Mad DashFiction, by Patricia GaffneyRetail: $23.00Published: 2007Anyone who has been through a separation in their marriage or a divorce will immediately identify with Andrew and his wife Dash.That marriage occasions many difficulties is not unknown to couples no matter how long it's been since they said their vows to each other. This pair is no different and reading about the slow unraveling of their love and the chance that it might somehow be sewn back together is both painful and insightful.Patricia Gaffney's fluid writing captures all the details that make conversation and experiences between people memorable.Below, Dash has stormed out of the office of Dr. Fogleman, a therapist they have seen for the first time. Like many couples who wait too long to seek help, all the damage has already been done, and hoping a third party might be able to undo it is an unlikely dream to come true. Besides, Andrew has said in the session that he is doing fine since the separation.An excerpt:I h

What's the deal with these "paid to Stuff Envelope" jobs? I'm sure you have seen the ads all over that read things like "I make $2,000 a WEEK by Stuffing Envelopes!" or "Easy money for Envelope Stuffing". Although the temptation of the "easy money" can be a big draw, you must ask yourself "Why is someone paying ME so much money to stuff envelopes?" For example, the Marlboro cigarette company

Pushing the Envelope got a lot of accolades for its originality. Unfortunately almost nobody found it very funny.

I intended to publish this earlier, but simply forgot about it (.. yeah, just forgot). So, I am just going to stick with the “midweek” in the title and you can assume that I published this on Wednesday. Upgrading My Living Room Entertainment, Part 2: Extended Warranty by Flexo @ Consumerism Commentary. Flexo wonders if he should buy extended warranty (at $63 per year for 3 years) on his newly acquired 42″ $1300 LCD HDTV. Personally, I don’t even think about extended warranties when it comes to electronics - if there is some problem, it’s usually apparent within the first few months and conversely, if there are no problems within the first few months, then it is very less likely that there will be problems in future (according to my perception). This is especially true for stationary (non-portable) items like televisions, desktop computers, or home theater systems - there is hardly anything that can cause malfunctioning at a later stage. Also, most of

O'Dell (Vanderbilt University), M. Meixner and P.

The Helix is a planetary nebula, the glowing gaseous envelope expelled by a dying, sun-like star. The Helix resembles a simple doughnut as seen from Earth. But looks can be deceiving. New evidence suggests that the Helix consists of two gaseous disks nearly perpendicular to each other. One possible scenario for the Helix's complex structure is that the dying star has a companion star. One disk may be p

Here are the results that you have been holding your breath for … Given that I was having such a hard time choosing between the two top ones, I decided to print both versions of the business card. I think it will be good money spent for advertising. Art Biz Card #1 Final, Digital © Diane Clancy I love them each in a different way. I really like the elegance of the second one - I think it is very unusual. And I think Lisa and Sue and others had a good point about using the one branding image as large as possible.

Many years ago I started looking into the income opportunities that I saw advertised in the back of certain magazines. These ads were intriguing to me because I was young, and didn’t have a lot of money. The idea of making good money while doing something extremely easy was very tempting. So, I bit. I sent away [...]

There is nothing like getting out, experimenting, playing, ….. and pushing that envelope! This shot is of some type of plant that is hanging in and over the edge of a pond, right above the water. I learned something that day about blown, highlighted areas, … and how I possibly can use them a bit more to my advantage, etc. It did not take long at all to accumulate over 1200 images, some of which I sent off to two of the art consultants. A few days later, they convinced me that I need to shoot a lot more of these types of images. “Highlights be damned” by so many individuals. I’ll make them work for me! With this piece, … again, … it is a matter of taste. I did discover that quite a few like them! © 2007 - Michael Brown * Copying/downloading of images is prohibited.

The envelope lay on his table, with the other unopened correspondence. The corner that stuck out from between a couple of boring conventional brown ones was a delicate shade of pink. Curiosity made him pin the edge down with forefinger and slide it away from its less inviting companions. The address and his name were printed off a computer so he looked for a post-mark in the hope of getting some clue to the sender’s identity. It had been mailed from Kandivili, a fact that brought an immediate feature-ageing frown to his face. Jerry was quite certain that he didn’t know anyone from that suburb, Probably just some junk mail… He stared at it even though its sheer appearance was incapable of telling him anything further. His name stared back. Jerry Machado. Not Mister Jerry Machado - just Jerry Machado. Familiarity? Or the so called ‘personal touch’? Either someone he knew had moved to Kandivili or this person had already earned a couple of negative points for omitting the res

I received a Christmas Card in this envelope today. I didn't even look at it at first. I just opened it and took the card out. It was only when I was collecting the stamps off the envelopes (for charity recycling) that it struck me as odd. The card had come from a Scottish couple living in North London - so why was there an Eisteddfod stamp on it? Then I thought, 'That`s a funny value - 81/2p'. Still it hadn't clicked that half-pennies were abolished a long time ago. And then I noticed that the stamp was celebrating the 800th anniversary of the Eisteddfod in 1976. This stamp has been languishing in a drawer somewhere for 30 years. I wonder what year the Lifeboat one was issued.I see the post office carefully avoided franking the stamp with a a 2006 date - or is that just coincidence because the card is more or less square and went through their automated system at the wrong orientation.(c) Hal Westhead 2005

-- Brief Catalog Review : Red envelope has an impressive gift catalog online , however their mail order catalogs are packed with awesome gift ideas and stories too ( very interesting ) .

Saturn is planning on launching a new online purchasing scheme which will allow even more of the buying process to happen online. The plan is aimed at moving functions like checking dealer inventories, applying for credit and scheduling a test drive to a unified Saturn online platform. Down the road, the website could also be used to handle the evaluation of customers' trade-in vehicles and to negotiate price using online chat and e-mail. Although this last goal is particularly strange given Saturn's "No Haggle" pricing, nothing about this initiative makes much sense, given that the point of huge investments in Saturn's standalone dealership network was not to keep people at their computers. Of course, this program is not being pitched as "the end of the Sa

I am attempting Burda 7831 (a very experienced seamstress will be around), but I am unsure how wide the fabric must be. I found something 45 inches wide that I like, but the back of the pattern envelope says "55 ins/140 cm" at the top of the size chart, and then calls for about 1 1/8 yards for my size without nap. Am I being really dumb for not realizing that the "55 ins" is the appropriate width?
