Phillipsburg officials look to develop Union Square
The first thing will be to designate an area as a historic district so that many of the historic buildings can be demolished. After that the goal is to have a walkable riverfront where tourists can shop and eat,replica oyster perpetual datejust rolex.
It was a campaign promise by Ellis, improve the downtown. Ellis says when people ask about the Union Square section of town he tells them soon.
"It very important to us right now, added Ellis. the top priority in the town."
Ellis says he been speaking with local leaders in New Jersey and Pennsylvania about developing the 1.5 mile area. It was a conversation with those leaders while looking across the Delaware River that sparked efforts to get something happening right away.
"They knew about the synergy coming from Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton, said Ellis. they looked at Phillipsburg as maybe the final frontier and they said you it, Phillipsburg is it."
A month ago, the town used a $30,000 grant from the New Jersey Highlands Council to put out a visual survey to see what residents want the area to look like.
Over 400 people responded to seven categories from housing to what people should see when coming to Phillipsburg across the free bridge from Easton.
Angela Knowles, a planner from Van Cleef Engineering conducted the survey.
"We don want someone coming in building things that folks aren going to be attracted to, isn going to be appealing them," said Knowles.
Also, activities on the Delaware River could look similar to the Riverwalk in San Antonio.
"I love the Riverwalk idea,replica rolex perpetual datejust, added business owner, Tricia Kobble. been talk of a hotel possibly and some higher end condominiums down along the river."
"It not necessarily that that picture is what would be built,replica rolex oyster perpetual datejust stainless steel, said Knowles. that character,oyster perpetual datejust rolex replica, that style in that picture."
Engineers and the mayor says there is interest and they have been getting calls already about the land. The planning isn done yet, but the mayor says by the spring there may be a deal in place.
"We should have something on the table, hopefully ready to award a bid," said Ellis.
The hope is to connect more people visiting Easton with Phillipsburg.
Ellis says he already working with Easton Mayor Sal Panto to build a trail to connect the waterfronts.

Bond Street's best diamond engagement rings
As soon as the mornings get frosty and the days shorter, engagement ring season begins. So for all those couples about to embark on the great diamond hunt, I spent the best part of a day on Bond Street trying on diamond engagement rings. It's a tough life. In the name of bridal duty I visited 13 different jewellers and by shop number two, I began to feel for those poor couples trying to make up their minds. So after trying on hundreds of rings I have compiled a list of the highlights: in my opinion, the best engagement rings money can buy. And don't worry if you aren't able to head to Bond Street, you can view most of these rings online in your quest for that special one.
For a traditional and ever so dainty ring,replica sell rolex oyster perpetual datejust, head to the British family run jeweller Boodles where the halo style New Vintage design is one of my favourites. Halo style rings, with a loop of smaller diamonds around the central stone,datejust rolex oyster perpetual replica, are a popular choice with brides looking for some old fashioned romance as well giving a big look on the finger without venturing into seriously expensive big diamond territory. Piaget's Passion, also a halo style ring, offers a novel way of setting the diamond between scrolls of platinum, allowing more light into the diamond. And more light equals more sparkle.
Another romantic choice is Harry Winston's Lily Cluster with its flowing diamond set ribbons circling the finger. De Beers is a must for every couple on the engagement ring safari with its impressive array of styles and prices. Here I fondly gazed at the pink gold Adonis Rose ring with its matching wedding band. Graff knows an awful lot about diamonds from golf ball size record (and bank account) breakers to more everyday sparklers. Hardly surprising that I left Graff with the Legacy yellow diamond ring seared in my mind's eye. It's about as close as it gets to having a ray of sunshine beaming out from your hand. But be aware, that kind of effect comes at a price.
See more coloured stone engagement rings
For an absolute classic, head to Tiffany Co., where in the spirit of American straight talking, all the prices are displayed. A small detail,replica ladies rolex oyster perpetual datejust, but so very helpful when navigating row after row of rings. The six prong round diamond solitaire,replica rolex gold oyster perpetual datejust, that we are so familiar with, was invented by this jeweller in 1886 and it's still going strong. For something really different the Schlumberger Rope ring or even the Two Bees ring offers a whimsical way to wear a whole lot of carats.

I found a classic solitaire with a twist at Van Cleef Arpels. The Couture ring sets a sweeping curve of smaller diamonds around the central stone, reminding me of the hoop fastenings you would find on a bodice. At Cartier, I was drawn to the Trinity Ruban where a diamond happily nests amongst golden swirls. I particularly like the yellow gold version.
For less conventional looks try the Chanel Ultra in either white or black ceramic with a little diamond in the middle. By no means a traditional choice, but so very chic. Louis Vuitton may not be an obvious choice but the Capitone wedding band is for brides looking for something a little different with a dose of personality.

Increase In First Quarter Sales From Ongoing Brands,oyster datejust rolex fake
Inter Parfums, Inc. (NASDAQ GS:IPAR) today announced that for the three months ended March 31, 2014, net sales of the Company's ongoing brands (excluding Burberry brand sales) increased 17% to $121.7 million, as compared to $104.1 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, consolidated first quarter net sales from ongoing brands increased 16%. Consolidated 2014 first quarter net sales declined 43% as Burberry brand sales were included in the prior year period. Inter Parfums plans to issue results for the 2014 first quarter on or about May 7, 2014.
Ongoing Brand Sales: Three months ended
March 31, (in millions) 2014 2013 % Change European based product sales $ 102.3 $ 85.4 19.8 % United States based product sales 19.4 18.7 3.9 % $ 121.7 $ 104.1 16.9 %
Discussing European based operations Jean Madar,rolex oyster perpetual datejust cost replica, Chairman CEO of Inter Parfums noted, "New product launches were the primary catalyst for the strong start in 2014, with sales of ongoing brands increasing 19.8%. That includes signature scents for both men and women for the Karl Lagerfeld brand, which yielded more than $13 million in incremental sales. Montblanc sales rose 37% as a result of steady gains from Legend fragrances along with the recent launch of Emblem, the second men's scent created for the brand. Boucheron and Van Cleef Arpels performed well during the quarter due, in part, to increasing momentum from the 2013 introductions of Place Vendme and Rve, respectively. Balmain fragrances got off to a good start for the year following higher than expected initial in store sales for the Extatic line launched in January. In last year's first quarter, Jimmy Choo brand sales rose 50% driven by the launch of Flash,fake rolex oyster perpetual datejust womens, which helps to explain why Jimmy Choo sales declined 25% in the current first quarter when no new products were introduced. However, based on higher than expected backorders for Jimmy Choo Man to be launched in the fall, more robust sales are anticipated for the second half. Lanvin also had a challenging comparison to the prior year period, which benefited from the launch of Lanvin Me and the exceptional performance of Eclat d'Arpge, resulting in a reduction in sales of 16% in the first quarter of 2014. With the introduction of Lanvin Me L'Eau later in the year , Lanvin brand sales are expected to pick up."
Mr. Most recently, in March we launched Fatale and Fatale Pink for Agent Provocateur and the initial response has been very favorable. Later in the year, we plan to debut our inaugural fragrances for Shanghai Tang,rolex lady datejust fake, Alfred Dunhill and Oscar de la Renta.

Shades of difference
Ever seen a pair of original Ray Ban Drifters ? You would remember if you had. They are the size of welding goggles, with a shelf straight upper edge and side pieces like automatic parking barriers. You could easily use them as an escape raft if stranded on a desert island, which is perhaps where the name originates. Back in the middle of the 20th century, they were the epitome of travel cool.
Staring at them in their cabinet at the British Optical Association Museum, just off the Strand in London,fake oyster datejust rolex, I felt quite emotional. These were the crusty forebears of my first pair of shades, Ray Ban Wayfarers (circa 1988), which somehow managed in two ounces of glass and shatterproof plastic to convey sun, sand and the certainty of getting a boyfriend. Ever since that particular pair fell over the side on a sunset booze cruise and spiralled gently to the bottom of the Indian Ocean, sunglasses for me have never packed quite such a punch.
For most people, however, they are a fashion accessory laden with potent symbolism. Their very names Drifters, Aviators, Sprees, Via Venetos, Celebrities, Swingers suggest the exotic, the leisurely and the loaded. They are also synonymous with holidays. The sight of them brings to mind sun and beaches and cafes, Audrey (Hepburn), Jack (Nicholson) and the (French) Riviera or possibly the (Swiss) Alps. Their glamour quotient lingers from the days when few of us could afford to travel. They are the absolute antithesis of work.
Furthermore, sunglasses have a strange ability to separate the wearer from the world something that, in many cultures, might be perceived as rude but in the developed Western world is cool. It's a word that implies a certain degree of remoteness,rolex gold oyster perpetual datejust replica, which some travellers might find convenient. "When you put on sunglasses, you shut yourself off from the realities of what you are confronting," said Pamela Church Gibson, senior lecturer in film and cultural studies at the London College of Fashion. "In movies, such as The Matrix, it is other worlds. For travellers, it is Bangkok traffic or poverty in India."
It has not always been so. In the early days of protective eyewear, it was snow glare (rather than reality) that was magically filtered out. Some of the earliest examples were invented by the tribes of the far north, calling to mind comic possibilities. Perhaps, when their husbands returned home from hunting wearing shades made of reindeer bone or walrus tusk tied on with hide strips, Inuit women looked up from the evening's blubber preparation and thought: Wow! He looks cool.
From those pioneering days until the leisure loving, materialistic 20th century, dark glasses remained purely functional. The Roman emperor Nero is said to have watched chariots thundering around the Colosseum through emerald glass, and in the 17th century Qing dynasty courtiers wore dark glasses out of courtesy when visiting their emperor, who was meant to be the personification of the sun.
"What we would call sunglasses only came in during the 18th century," explained Neil Handley, curator of the British Optical Association Museum. "Here's an example from Venice," he said pointing to a pair of round, pale blue lenses with horn rims "which were needed because of the harsh light on the lagoon." Because it lacks side pieces (which hadn't yet been invented), Handley dates this pair to the second half of the century, when people couldn't walk around in their sunglasses.
There is something rather marvellous about the thought of a Venetian strolling beside the sparkling lagoon more than 200 years ago, wearing these very specs. You can see the marks on the horn where it was hand carved. Others in the collection have homemade pads under the bridge, to stop sweat steaming up the lenses; a pair of tiny blue tinted discs from Britain, with velvet temple pads, was probably a stress reliever.
Dark glasses have always mutated with the demands of life and travel. The 19th century "D" model (which looked like mirror image Ds) was known as the "railway spectacle" because passengers conveyed in open rail carriages were martyrs to smuts and sparks as well as glare. Cycling glasses appeared around 1910, followed by motoring goggles. All of them used tinted glass, often in cobalt blues and sea greens, later in soft pinks, yellows and greys; black glass was rare until the 1950s and prior to that was the province of the blind.
"Until the early 20th century it would have been thought that you needed dark glasses for medical purposes," said Handley. "Then, as people started going abroad they found they needed sunglasses. I wouldn't be surprised if the Army issued them."
Actually, it didn't or not until the Second World War,fake rolex datejust oyster perpetual, when clip on dark glasses were first mentioned on uniform lists. My uncle, who was in India from the 1930s, said he never saw anyone wearing them; instead the Army insisted on "cork covered helmet whites". That is not to say that sunglasses weren't around. In 1929, the first dark glasses for leisure purposes a pair of Foster Grants were sold at Woolworths on the Atlantic City Boardwalk; and my mother remembers English women in white framed "glare glasses" in the 1930s.
By 1937, Ray Ban produced the first Aviators, using green anti glare glass. They cost $4 a pair 15 times more than the competition.
From this point on, dark glasses began to creep into the public consciousness as a fashion item. "The first mention I've found is in Nancy Mitford's Love in a Cold Climate of 1949," said Pamela Church Gibson,fake mens rolex oyster perpetual datejust, "when Cedric Hampton wears what he refers to as my goggles' from Van Cleef Arpels. People began to wear them on the Riviera in the 1950s, but they didn't really travel to Britain until they started appearing in the movies".
Now we are on firm ground: Marlon Brando in The Wild One (1953 banned in Britain, so doubly attractive); Audrey Hepburn in Love in the Afternoon (1957 ) and, of course, in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961 ); Marcello Mastroianni wearing his, day and night, in La Dolce Vita. All foreign. All glamorous. All exactly where and what we wanted to be.
For the next three decades, sunglasses were required for looking good when you travelled. And, according to Alan Niblo, commercial manager for Luxottica (which owns Ray Ban and manufactures luxury brands such as Chanel, Prada and Versace), the crossover from travel to pure fashion began only in the mid 1990s. "Before that, the premium market [50 or more a pair] was tiny," he said. "People bought sunglasses for holidays and sun protection. Now the premium market is one million units a year."
Fashion aside, do we really need sunglasses? As pale, northern island dwellers, we know the sun we crave on holiday can harm the skin but can it affect the eyes as well? "UV radiation in sunlight can damage the lens in the eye and the cornea, which can be extremely painful," said Henri Obstfeld, director of the optical appliance testing service at City University, London. "And, with the disappearance of the ozone layer, the amount of UV radiation may be more than one thinks at times. The effects are long term and cumulative." Furthermore, he explained, pale irises more common in northern climes are less well adapted to dealing with intense light.
The good news is that most quality sunglasses sold in Britain conform to European standards (see below). Boots the chemist, which is working with Cancer Research UK on this year's SunSmart campaign, will shortly publish guidelines on its website and suggest that buyers check the filter rating (from one to four) on sunglasses: number two or three for holidays in the sun, and four for use in intense mountain or ocean light.
Low filter glasses are probably best worn for clubbing and certainly not for driving. Obstfelt said that trendy tinted lenses can limit one's ability to see traffic signals, something doubly important when driving abroad on unfamiliar road systems. Blue lenses, for example, can stop you seeing red lights. Honest, officer.
In many ways, sunglasses are the ultimate emblem of Western culture: dark, twin reflections of our obsession with image, wealth and shopping. They are ludicrously expensive, but we still buy them. They make us look rich when we are probably not. They imply frivolity, yet they can appear threatening and evasive.
And that is the fascination of shades. You would never hear that kind of psycho babble applied to sarongs, sandals or sunhats.

Canal Commission Slams Power Plant
Seneca Lake, give or take 445 feet above sea level, rises and falls with the rains and with the seasons but also, with the work of human hands. How much of the lake level is human responsibility, however, seems continually in dispute, as at least one human group the Seneca Falls Power Plant is charged with keeping the lake levels steady. Another group,replica magic alhambra necklace, this one of private citizens, Seneca Lake Pure Waters Association, doesn't much like the job the power plant is doing, and state on their website that the power plant is managing lake levels for profit, rather than the public good.
A recent letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission by the NYS Canal Commission appears to support this accusation.
During the summer navigation season, the lake's target level is 446 feet BCD (Barge Canal Datum) and in the winter,replica cartier clover necklace, 445 feet BCD. In a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission dated July 27, 2015,replica vca alhambra necklace, the New York State Canal Commission criticized Seneca Falls Power Corporation for "mischaracterization of reality" and "inaccurate information" in the power plant's operations and monitoring plan. The power plant has run afoul of the feds at least twice in the past, for failure to carry out the terms of its contract. In 2009 the federal agency found the plant in violation of multiple provisions of its license; in October 2014 FERC issued an order amending the plant's license to add stricter reporting requirements "given the plant's long history of non compliance."
Seneca Falls Power Corporation operates two hydroelectric plants, one at Waterloo and one at Seneca Falls. According to the NYSCC letter, signed by Howard Goebel, P. E., P. H., and former head of the NYSCC, "The regulation of Seneca Lake water levels is the sole responsibility of SFPC through SFPC's operation of the Waterloo and Seneca Falls hydroelectric generation facilities."
Each hydroelectric plant operates next to a lock, which lets boats navigate the canal system by raising and lowering the water levels. Seneca Lake, which is higher than Cayuga Lake, flows downhill to the lock and hydroelectric plant in Waterloo; the water flows from there to the lock and hydroelectric plant in Seneca Falls, and from there to Cayuga Lake, but Cayuga Lake waters join the Seneca River in the north end of the lake, then flow north through the Mudlock, toward Lake Ontario.
"I think the problem with the lake levels is that high waters cause erosion and lake shore damage," said Mary Anne Kowalski, of Seneca Lake Pure Waters.
Goebel's letter takes issue with the role of the canal commission in overseeing the hydroelectric plants, and disputes the plant's claims that they receive direction from the NYSCC on how and when to manage the lake levels. The letter also questions a claim by SFPC, that it is a member of the Oswego River Basin Lake Managers Group. In its project plan submitted to FERC, the power plant's mangers write: "As a member of the Oswego River Basin Lake Managers Group, SFPC frequently consults with the NYSCC in order to obtain information on surrounding hydrological conditions, the proposed timing of NYSCC's water allocation use at the project site, and its desires"
Not so, says Goebel: "The Oswego River Basin Lake Managers Group used in this and may other instances in the plan, does not exist. Further, the NYSCC does not provide input to SFPC that would influence SFPC's operation of the Waterloo and Seneca Falls projects."
SFPCCEO Scott Goodwin claims there's a lot more to lake levels than the power plant: the locks open and close for boat traffic during the summer, which plays havoc with water levels,replica van cleef and arpels white gold alhambra necklace, and further, says Goodwin, the plants shut down in the summer so they can't be affecting the lake levels then. As for how the power plant affects the lake levels, Goodwin said that opening and closing the locks on demand has more of an effect: "The first priority water right is for navigational locking. The second priority water right is for power generation."
Goodwin said, in a letter addressed to the press: "A single lock cycle at Seneca Falls consumes approximately 5 million gallons of water. A lock cycle at Waterloo consumes about 1,650,000 gallons of water. Whenever Van Cleef lake water levels start to fall and move lower, the hydroelectric project opens the flows up to refill Van Cleef Lake (the sunken lake in Seneca Falls). The only place to take this needed water from is Seneca Lake. The irony of this matter is that the parties complaining of low water levels on Seneca Lake are the very boaters whose use of the navigational locks causes this problem."

barreled valentine to Hollywood
As delivered by Johnny Depp, Rango the pet thespian's opening lines, actually, become "Smuh smuh smuh SMUH!" With all his terrarium's a stage, our monologue happy chameleon is doing vocal warm ups, yet Depp's eruptive effects are also a pitch perfect impression of Jack Lemmon's sinus clearing honking as the finicky Felix in Neil Simon's sublime "The Odd Couple."
In the current box office champ "Rango," this is more than sonic silliness. The animated film is a heartfelt valentine to Hollywood, and Gore Verbinski has just issued a sounding as distinct as a goose call: If you love film as much as I do, the "Rango" director is signaling, then gird your loins for more purloined cinematic references than you can shake a divining stick at.
And with the dearth of scorched earth water on this "Chinatown" cribbing desert, a divining rod is perhaps the just right tool, for this is a film about questing. A parched town (Dirt) seeks hydration. A lost lizard (Rango) seeks identity. And a filmmaker (Verbinski) seeks a few good savvy viewers who will indulge and appreciate his allusions to everything from "The Wizard of Oz" to "Apocalypse Now" to more Clint Eastwood movies than you can shake a cheroot at.
As "Rango" heads into its second weekend hoping to have legs (it debuted with a $38 million domestic take), it extends a bolder invitation than many animated films do: The film offers big screen nostalgia. To lift (and twist) a line from the animated adventure itself, in other words, it takes two to "Rango." And boy howdy,van cleef and arpels necklace sale replica, when it comes to this cinematic tango, does Verbinski know how to two step.
The movie allusions fly so fast and nefarious, I was sucking wind (for all I know, it was "Gone With the Wind") by the second reel. Many of the references are overt, including nods to "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," "Cat Ballou," "High Plains Drifter," "The Lion King," "Raising Arizona," "Singin' in the Rain," "Vertigo," "High Noon," "True Grit," "The Shakiest Gun in the West" and even Eli Wallach's classic last line to Eastwood in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (from which,replica van cleef and arpels pearl necklace, as with "Chinatown," "Rango" cribs liberally).
Leone. Hitchcock. Polanski and Peckinpah. Ford and Ford Coppola. "Rango" largely cattle rustles the prattle from the best. "Rango" is so chockablock with "film within a film" talk is that a "Steamboat Bill Jr." or "North by Northwest" reference whizzing past? the viewer half suspects that light improv and on the fly rewrites were entirely permitted on this project. (Other apparently line checked films include "Star Wars"; perhaps more than coincidentally, "Rango" was animated by George Lucas's Industrial Light Magic.)
But here's the trick: Verbinski allows the story to flow like agua on its narrative merits, too "Rango" is sensical even if you have no filmic sensibility.
"Rango," in other words, passes what I call the "Schmidt" litmus test.
The Alexander Payne film "About Schmidt," as many may recall, is the 2002 film in which Jack Nicholson plays a retired and widowed Omaha actuary who hits the road in a motor home searching for a life he may have squandered. Nicholson received an Oscar nomination for his stellar performance, but part of the film's brilliance is also that it operates perfectly nimbly on two levels: The story unspools as a moving tale of an aging man, but on another level, "Schmidt" is a front to back ode to Nicholson's entire career, seemingly referencing with a twist (often subtly) every classic Jack performance. ("Cuckoo's Nest"? Check. "Five Easy Pieces"? Sure. "Easy Rider"? Absolutely.)
Although more scattershot in its references, "Rango" is equally deft at hitting its nostalgic targets on twin levels. And its Nicholson or the closest thing to it is the serape wearing Clint Eastwood, a links loving "Spirit of the West" who (spoiler alert) visits Rango like some Oscars toting Pale Rider beckoning from beyond. "Rango" is most certainly an ode to the spaghetti western as much as to Hitchcock, and I have a sneaking suspicion that Verbinski like us misspent part of his TV glued youth eating Pop Tarts while watching not only Kim Novak,replica van cleef lucky alhambra necklace, but also Leone's "Man With No Name."
It's fitting, then, that Rango is the role playing Chameleon With No Identity. Some critics have curiously accused "Rango" of being "soulless." The lizard may lack identity especially next to Ned Beatty's tortoise that channels John Huston, or Bill Nighy's gunslingin' snake that summons Lee Van Cleef but he is nothing if not soulful.
In so many ways, too, "Rango" is utterly its own animal. It doesn't resort to yukking and jiving like an "Alvin and the Chipmunks," and it doesn't see fit to squeeze in some sentimentality that Pixar has so mastered. Instead, "Rango" true to the spaghetti western strives first and foremost to be simply engrossing. (I watched the film in a packed theater half full with kids, and the most conspicuous sound was not giddy laughter or the squirming of boredom, but rather rapt and beguiling silence.)
And "Rango," thankfully, is also a very, very good film because it pays its cinematic debts respectfully, without drooling idol worship. When you tip your ten gallon to the Eastwoods and Leones, it's only fittin' that you do so with a proper reserve.
Several years ago, I met Clint Eastwood at an MPAA dinner. My internal monologue wanted to tell him how much his films especially his spaghetti westerns had profoundly sparked my cinematic fandom in boyhood. Instead, we chatted of both being San Francisco natives, of the natural beauty of the Bay Area, and in an aside, I politely said I was a fan of his work. ("Why,replica van cleef pink necklace, thanks," came the warm, raspy reply.)
As delivered by Johnny Depp, Rango the pet thespian's opening lines, actually, become "Smuh smuh smuh SMUH!" With all his terrarium's a stage, our monologue happy chameleon is doing vocal warm ups, yet Depp's eruptive effects are also a pitch perfect impression of Jack Lemmon's sinus clearing honking as the finicky Felix in Neil Simon's sublime "The Odd Couple."
In the current box office champ "Rango," this is more than sonic silliness. The animated film is a heartfelt valentine to Hollywood, and Gore Verbinski has just issued a sounding as distinct as a goose call: If you love film as much as I do, the "Rango" director is signaling, then gird your loins for more purloined cinematic references than you can shake a divining stick at.
And with the dearth of scorched earth water on this "Chinatown" cribbing desert, a divining rod is perhaps the just right tool, for this is a film about questing. A parched town (Dirt) seeks hydration. A lost lizard (Rango) seeks identity. And a filmmaker (Verbinski) seeks a few good savvy viewers who will indulge and appreciate his allusions to everything from "The Wizard of Oz" to "Apocalypse Now" to more Clint Eastwood movies than you can shake a cheroot at.
As "Rango" heads into its second weekend hoping to have legs (it debuted with a $38 million domestic take), it extends a bolder invitation than many animated films do: The film offers big screen nostalgia. To lift (and twist) a line from the animated adventure itself, in other words, it takes two to "Rango."
