Zenith, Elite Ultra Thin An elegant watch The first glance reassures: the adventurous times of Zero-G in the manner of Star Trek fed with Zenithium seem to be outdated ! At least for this collection... The traditional values are back : a watch, which aim is to give time. Moreover, in an elegant way ! buy luxury watches Since it is related to the old tradition of the ultra thin watches, object of an unrestrained race between the watch making manufactures before the quartz war. The ultra thin being considered at that time as a complication... A construction representative of the Elite movement Let's stare at this new comer : facetted hands, hand worked markers, the Zenith star in relief ! Nice work, following the footsteps of the new collection. And the little second is positioned at 9 o'clock, as on a Lepine caliber. This type of construction for a modern movement is rare and remains typical of the caliber from the Elite manufacture. The legend tells that this positioning should allow subsequent developments (calendars, moon phase...). But in the end, those have been reserved to the other Zenith's flagship caliber, the famous El Primero, the Elite being then very unblessed. With the Elite Ultra Thin 681, Zenith invented the ultra thin of the future, the one that is not so to speak, but keeps the codes as adapting with its environment ,Cartier Yellow Gold Plated Love Bracelet with Diamond!

An atypical and endearing formatAudemars Piguet Millenary Diamond Ladies Watch Whatever, it gains thus an atypical and rather endearing format. But why this little second is so close to the central axis, and not to the periphery, where the dial rounds in a pleasant way, unveiling painted markers? And watch carefully : in the continuation of the applied marker for the hours, appears a second marker that inserts itself inside of the seconds railroad ! Double markers ? What a rarity ! What is the reason of this ? The answer to both questions can be found behind the watch, behind the transparent sapphire back. The Elite caliber is indeed small compared to the total diameter of the case. The shifting of the second axis being impossible, the dial has been worked according to the caliber's dimensions, in order to give the most pleasant visual aspect. Hence the double markers. But is it really an ultra thin? Then comes the following question : with a 7,60 mm thickness, is it really an ultra thin? Is it still correct to call an automatic caliber an ultra thin, as it is obliged to house a rotor somewhere ? The general proportions let think so.

The mystery and the technical cleverness of Zenith remain there : the generous 40 mm diameter allows displaying slenderness and flattering lines, considering the thickness - while answering the actual male fashion criteria in terms of size.

Amazing Kate Middleton Wedding Dress

By Danica Cheng on April 30, 2011

Did you get up early to watch the century wedding or just on the spot to enjoy the festivities? Whatever, it was really overwhelming. The colorful hats donned by guests from various field, the grand dignified Westminster Abbey, the cortege with royal riding on the horses, and the royal couple as well as the kisses on balcony, everything was impressed. What's more, we are all obsessed with Kate Middleton's wedding dress which was kept as the top secret.

Who is the designer? Yes, it is Sarah Burton, the creative director of Alexander McQueen. So here let's see the detail of this eye-catching dress.

The Design

The lace applique for the bodice and skirt was hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework, based at Hampton Court Palace. The lace design was hand-engineered (appliqued) using the Carrickmacross lace-making technique, which originated in Ireland in the 1820s. Individual flowers have been hand-cut from lace and hand-engineered onto ivory silk tulle to create a unique and organic design,Cartier Le Baiser du Dragon Charm Necklace in Gold Plated, which incorporates the rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock.

The dress is made with ivory and white satin gazar. The skirt echoes an opening flower, with white satin gazar arches and pleats. The train measures two metres 70 centimetres. The ivory satin bodice, which is narrowed at the waist and padded at the hips, draws on the Victorian tradition of corsetry and is a hallmark of Alexander McQueen's designs. The back is finished with 58 gazar and organza covered buttons fastened by Rouleau loops. The underskirt is made of silk tulle trimmed with Cluny lace.

The Fabrics

French Chantilly lace was combined with English Cluny lace to be hand-worked in the Irish Carrickmacross needlework tradition.

All other fabrics used in the creation of the dress were sourced from and supplied by British companies. The choice of fabrics followed extensive research by Sarah Burton and her team.

The Royal School of Needlework

The Royal School of Needlework (RSN), based at Hampton Court Palace, assisted the Alexander McQueen team in accurately cutting out the delicate motifs from the lace fabrics and positioning the lace motifs with precision into the new design. The lace motifs were pinned, 'framed up' and applied with stab stitching every two to three millimetres around each lace motif. The workers washed their hands every thirty minutes to keep the lace and threads pristine, and the needles were renewed every three hours, to keep them sharp and clean.

Veil and Jewellery

The veil is made of layers of soft, ivory silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers, which was embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework. The veil is held in place by a Cartier 'halo' tiara, lent to Miss Middleton by The Queen.

The Bride's earrings, by Robinson Pelham, are diamond-set stylised oak leaves with a pear shaped diamond set drop and a pave set diamond acorn suspended in the centre. Inspiration for the design comes from the Middleton family's new coat of arms, which includes acorns and oak leaves. The earrings were made to echo the tiara.

Wedding Shoes

The wedding shoes have made hand-made by the team at Alexander McQueen and are made of ivory duchesse satin with lace hand-embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework.

After the royal wedding gown being revealed,Cartier White Gold Plated Bracelet with Purple Gems, many fashion experts gave their comment on Kate's choice. Nina Garcia, the Marie Claire fashion director said: "I am so thrilled Kate made such a wise choice of designer, it was appropriate yet relevant. A victory of British designers and inspiration for all aspiring talent!" Christian Siriano, the winner of Project Runway Season 5 submitted his point of view on twitter "Yes, I did get to see the dress. Kate looked stunning and it was perfection, very elegant and chic. It was also a wonderful McQueen moment."

Paris, the city of lights and love, is perfect for a shopping break any time of the year, but I've always found the French capital to be especially beguiling during the month of December. And as Paris is a mere hop skip and a jump away from the UK, and you should be able to pick up a good value hotel deal, it's a trip that won't blow your Christmas budget.

There's no denying that Paris is beautiful all year round; during the crispness of autumn and the welcome warmth of spring. However, for me, the city becomes truly magical during the winter month when the whole city lights up in anticipation of Christmas and the shopping opportunities ramp up a gear.

Parisians seem to take the festivities very seriously, and the December city scenes as they rush, bundled up oh so stylishly, from shop to shop as they purchase their Christmas gifts, have an almost Victorian quality to them.

The Champs Elysee is the most famous and prestigious shopping street in the city, and the wide tree-lined avenue is illuminated from late November to early January with pretty, twinkling fairy lights come dusk. Flanked by shops selling luxury goods from chocolates to leather, perfume to patisseries, it's the place to go for stunning gifts for your lucky loved ones back home.

Of course, those on a tighter budget can still glean great pleasure from window shopping, or simply sipping a cafe au lait or chocolate chaud at a Champs Elysee cafe and watching others rush from store to store laden down with shopping bags.

Outside of the Champs Elysee you can find the finest silk scarves at the Hermes flagship store at Rue de Sevres, which also features a tea salon and bookshop to refresh you after the hard toil of Paris shopping. Just ensure that whatever gifts you buy they are beautifully packaged in the tres chic Paris style.

If you have children to buy for then An Nain Bleu at 5 blvd Malesherbes is the city's most exclusive toy store, stuffed full of beautifully crafted delights for the discerning little ones in your life.

Alleosse at 13 rue Poncelet is one of the prettiest Paris cheese shops and Chocolaterie Jacques Genin, 133 rue de Turenne is a shrine to all things chocolate. You can spend a happy hour watching the chocolatiers at work in the workshop, before selecting a delicious chocolate box for your chocoholic back home.

Episode Two Person Nobody And Hot-seating

By Jacqueline Smith on August 13, 2010

At this point, the drama work centers on creating what O'Neill calls the "dramatic elsewhere" ("Alienation" 141). This is the fictional setting within which the dramatic work takes place. This is perhaps the most critical stage of the process-building belief in the dramatic world. This world must be a creation of the entire group, in which all are invested. O'Neill further notes that the teacher must genuinely respect the students' contributions, even if they go against the teacher's internal logic of the scene or are based on a limited knowledge (Drama 57). To create this world, I rely on two activities.

Person Nobody: Place a chair in the middle of the circle. The facilitator introduces the theme of the outcast from the prior Tag Heuer Replica activity. The facilitator then explains that the class will be creating a fictional outcast at a fictional high school. At that point, all individuals help to create the back-story and personality of the person. The facilitator asks specific guiding questions to add to the input of the participants, but the bulk of the information comes from the ensemble.

Hot-Seating: The teacher then sits in the chair and takes on the character the class has created. Individuals on the outside of the circle then ask questions, which the facilitator then answers in character. If the question of sexuality does not arise in the Person Nobody exercise, the facilitator introduces that aspect of the character here.

The teacher working in role is an effective way to maintain the dramatic distance while still allowing a critical investigation of the theme. Here, the role does not differ much from the teacher's usual role in the classroom: facilitating discussion, acting as moderator. O'Neill cites teacher-in-role as beneficial in that the teacher can "model appropriate behavior and language, support the students' efforts,

and challenge the students' familiar responses" (O'Neill and Manley 92-93). O'Neill also notes that when a teacher enters a role,Cartier LEVE Necklace With Diamonds Paved, the power dynamics of the classroom change ("Transforming" 96). Students may confront or oppose the character in a way that they will not do so with the teacher.

In one of the high school workshops, the students created a young man, "Tom," who was struggling with his homosexuality. "Tom" was not a stellar student, not an athlete—he was just an ordinary guy who played video games and swam. Ordinary, that is, until rumors about his staring at one of his male classmates started swirling at the fictional Jefferson High School. The group went on to create "Tom's" family, friends, and history.

In the rural Pennsylvania workshop, I had to introduce the issue of sexuality from within the hot-seating activity. This time, the class had created "Jerry," an eleventh-grade student who just transferred to a new high Tag Heuer Replica Watches school. While I was in role answering questions, one of the students asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?" "No," I answered, somewhat shyly. Another student followed quickly with "Do you have a boyfriend?" This question was met with chuckling from a number of the students. After a long pause, I quietly answered, "Yes." Laura, the girl who asked the question, later reflected on this experience by saying, "Suddenly we weren't just ourselves making things up like some stupid acting exercise. Something changed and we were talking to this kid . . . even though it was just our teacher." Though she admits her initial question was intended as a "joke,Cartier wedding," she had instead moved toward entering the drama world.
