Frill Seekers

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 13:22:15 PDT
{Lovely Lanvin from style.com} I want some cheap frills. It’s Friday and I’m in a giddily happy mood, due in no small part to the copious amounts of caffeine I’ve consumed today (thank you BOTH illy and Dunkin’ Donuts) and the fact that it’s utterly gorgeous today. I’m daydreaming about whirling through the city in ruffly and bright candy-colored dresses a la Lanvin Spring 2008 (of course). Lanvin had such a spot-on fling with Spring that it makes me grateful for the way fashion trends t

Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up!

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:50:34 PDT
Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up! The state-run media in Canada (and the citizen-owned media who do their best to compete with them) all lament, daily (with intra-day lament updates, all day long), the price of a barrel of oil, and the resulting price of gas. (Of course they don’t have the foggiest clue what they’re talking about, but they pretend they do.) Even as I was writing this, the state-owned CBC did a story about the latest rise in gas prices. Apparently it’s getting h

Ten years is not so long in learning and development

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 09:51:17 PDT
Harold Wilson once famously remarked that 'a week is a long time in politics'. Well, for that remark to make sense you have to be able to compare it with something - how about 'ten years is no time at all in learning and development'. I enjoyed Daniel Wain and Graham O'Connell's session, Ten Years of Changing Trends in Learning and Development at the CIPD's HRD 2008 show in London this week, mainly because both presenters were honest enough to admit that not much had changed at all. Now we hav

And now, they're also trying to implicate the Li

Earthquake early Friday in southern Illinois felt in Ontario

The Canadian Press

Earthquake early Friday in southern Illinois felt in Ontario

WEST SALEM, Ill � An early morning earthquake with a magnitude of 5.2 shook Illinois and other nearby states today and was reportedly felt as far away as southern Ontario.

Officials say the 5:36 a.m. EDT quake rattled skyscrapers in Chicago's Loop and homes in Cincinnati, but appears to have caused no major injuries or damage.

Margaret Hay lives in a seventh floor of an apartment in Kitchener, Ont., and believes she felt some rumbling from the tremor.

Hay told radio station CKGL she was reading the newspaper at about 5:35 a.m. when she felt her couch shaking.

The quake was centred in southern Illinois some 10 kilometres from West Salem, Ill., and about 100 kilometres from Evansville, Ind.

The quake is believed to have involved the Wabash fault, a northern extension of the New Madrid fault about 10 kilometres north of Mt. Carmel, Ill., said geophysicist Randy Baldwin of the U.S. Geological Survey .

The last earthquake in the region to approach the severity of Friday's tremor was a 5.0 magnitude quake that shook a nearby area in 2002, Baldwin said.

"This is a fairly large quake for this region," he said. "They might occur every few years."

Baldwin said the USGS revised the quake's magnitude from 5.4 to 5.2.
