Last month, French luxury fashion brand Chanel included plastic sneakers for the very fist time in the history of the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. The fashion show was a statement in the history of fashion, completely new and bold!
Chanel has gone one huge step further with its Fall-Winter Ready-To-Wear AW 2014-15 Collection show in Paris, by hosting its catwalk show in a supermarket set-up.
Models walking the runway with luxurious supermarket baskets, on the backdrop of groceries etc.
Lagerfeld ironic take on luxury is surely going to attract atttention, not only for the intrigue but also redefining luxury lifestyle.
But even in the supermarket and with sneakers Chanel products will be any cheaper or distributed more widely. The indirect message that Chanel sends is aimed at bringing back the must-have total look.
This is a very smart way to demonstrate to all channel consumers that is important have a total look and we can use a sneakers with par of leggins and maintaining a luxury lifestyle stance.
The luxury fashion and accessories sector has been losing out to the anti-luxury brands, luxury lifestyle being redefined by mix & match – wearing a Zara T-Shirt with an Hermes handbag. Chanel's new approach is a signal a revival of the luxury fashion and accessories sector, which has been seeing slower growth accross all markets in the past year. Mention should be made that Chanel's new product development is not to be associated or mistaken with affordability! Rihanna is a fashion icon and a fan of this extravagant fashion brand, she loved the fashion show and play with his friend Cara Levine.

Mr. Splitfoot (Paperback)
By Samantha Hunt
Mariner Books, 9780544811812, 352pp.
Publication Date: January 24, 2017
Hardcover (1/5/2016)
"When Cora's Aunt Ruth, whom she hasn't seen since childhood, shows up on her doorstep, mute yet demanding Cora follow her, Cora makes a split-second decision to do that to escape her dead-end job and the father of the baby she is carrying. The tale of the road trip that follows and the details of Ruth's past are told in alternating chapters until they merge. The cast of characters and settings are mysterious and creepy, like something out of a David Lynch movie. Readers will be compelled to keep the pages turning until the secrets are revealed."
— Kelley Drahushuk (W), The Spotty Dog, Hudson, NY
A New York Times Editors' Choice * A Paris Review Staff Pick * An Indie Next Pick
"Hypnotic and glowing." — New York Times Book Review
"An intriguing mystery with clues, suspense, enigmas galore, and an exhilarating, witty, poignant paean to the unexplainable, the unsolvable, the irreducibly mysterious."
— Boston Globe
Ruth and Nat are seventeen. They are orphans. And they may be able to talk to the dead. Enter Mr. Bell, a con man with his own mystical interests. Together they embark on an unexpected journey that connects meteor sites, utopian communities, lost mothers, and a scar that maps its way across Ruth's face.
Decades later and after years of absence, Ruth visits her niece, Cora. But while Ruth used to speak to the dead, she now won't speak at all. She leads Cora on a mysterious mission that involves crossing the entire state of New York on foot. Where is she taking them? And who—or what—is hidden in the woods at the end of the road?
"An escapist adventure, a gothic page-turner that is also so finely crafted that you'll feel enriched as well as transported for having read it." — Esquire
"An American gothic fever dream." — Chicago Tribune
"Gripping." — The New Yorker
Samantha Hunt's novel about Nikola Tesla, The Invention of Everything Else was a finalist for the Orange Prize and winner of the Bard Fiction Prize. Her first novel, The Seas, a twisted tale of mermaids, won the National Book Foundation's Five under Thirty-five prize. She lives in upstate New York.
Praise For Mr. Splitfoot…
"Ethereal . . . The book deftly straddles the slippery line between fantasy and reality in a story that's both gripping and wonderfully mystifying . . . [I]nterconnected chapters build suspense while keeping readers guessing about what crazy turn might happen next. Hints of what's in store for readers include a cult of Etherists, a noseless man, a pile of lost money, and a scar-like pattern of meteorite landings. This spellbinder is storytelling at its best."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"A truly fantastic novel in which the blurring of natural and supernatural creates a stirring, visceral conclusion."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"I get the chills. Is it a true story? Is it a sad story? It's what people want. It has a lot of good energy and people, people will like it. They will keep reading it until they read the end of it. It's intriguing because a person will know there's something two-sided. Yeah. It's a good one."—Charlotte Brontë, speaking through a medium
"Part road trip, part gothic, Mr. Splitfoot belongs on the shelf beside The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Samantha Hunt is astonishing. Her every sentence electrifies. Her characters demand our closest attention. Her new book contains everything that I want in a novel. If I could long-distance mesmerize you, dear reader, into picking up this book and buying it and reading it at once, believe me: I would."—Kelly Link, author of Get in Trouble,Magic for Beginners, and many others
"I'm speechless. Mr. Splitfoot is so inventive, so new; I haven't read anything like it in years. On the surface it's about false spirituality and the most demented road trip across New York State ever attempted, but it's also about the horrible ties that bind us and the small acts of redemption that make life almost okay. On top of that, it's a thrilling page-turner. I couldn't stop reading it."—Gary Shteyngart, author of Little Failure,Super Sad True Love Story, and many others
"Mr. Splitfoot is lyrical, echoing, deeply strange, with a quality of sustained hallucination. It is the best book on communicating with the dead since William Lindsay Gresham's Nightmare Alley, but it swaps out that novel's cynicism for a more life-affirming sense of uncertainty."—Luc Sante, author of Low Life and many others
"Mr. Splitfoot is an absolutely thrilling book. Filial and maternal love are on display in all their complicated hugeness. But Hunt gives us plenty of humor amid the horror and awe—
and then turns on the lights and shows us what was looming above us the whole time. I can't stop thinking about it."—Sarah Manguso, author of Ongoingness, Two Kinds of Decay, and others

« Day 67 – Klaus and Greta
Day 69 – Winter Madness »
Day 68 – Black Light Attack!
It started out as a joke but now it's becoming real.
Ah, sorry for the gap in post. Too much life happening.
But the show must go on! Tomorrow I'm hitting the midway point. Watching one half of "30 Rock" is not at all impressive, so obviously I'm not giving up. Also check back tomorrow for a post about the best of the first half of the season.
But first this episode. I think it's the only one with a plot that really includes Danny, and we get to see sexy Liz, so, needless to say, I ❤ this episode. Plots:
1. Liz is hooking up with Danny, but Jack doesn't want to share his new bro. It appears that Liz is going to win this one, until Jack tells Danny he's in love with Liz and asks him to end it out of friendship. Jack telling Danny "I ache for her sexually" is obviously supposed to be funny (and it is) but with Alec Baldwin saying it, the line between "joke" and "not a joke" is totally blurred. I read somewhere that Alec really wanted Jack and Liz together so he would play it up when he got moments like this. Whether or not that's true, it feels like he did that here, and I am into it.
2. Jenna reads for a role on "Gossip Girl" — the role of the mother. Gasp! Jenna goes through a crisis, which culminates with her taping her face while singing "Forever Young" in her dressing room. Liz, an amazing friend, tells Jenna that she'll show her friend Tom to the world if Jenna accepts that she's old. Tom is Liz's mustache, Tom Selleck. Jenna agrees and has a great death scene on "Gossip Girl," where she says:
Don't cry for me, Tartine. I've had a full life. Oh, the things I've seen. The first Clinton administration. The Nagano Olympics. Microsoft Windows '95. But I'm 41 now. Time to die.
3. Tracy adds Sue to the entourage to help him respect women. But then he gets creepy dad about it and she becomes a rebellious teen. At the end they make up and "a nice man" (Liz with a mustache) comes and "take[s] her from you" (back to the writers' room). There's a funny montage of all their time together set to "Forever Young," but it's literally just scenes from this episode.
This plot would be sort of misogynist if it didn't have this exchange:
Kenneth: A whole new part of your heart has opened up.
Tracy: Thank God because the doctors keep telling me it's pretty clogged.
With that, "30 Rock" seems pretty self-aware that the "man gets a daughter and realizes sexism is bad" trope is overplayed, so Tracy doesn't take it seriously at all.
Bits and Pieces:
Included "young Jenna":
Jack takes Toofer to a sports game and he only discusses Quidditch and how its rules make no sense (they really don't).
Jenna majored in "prom queens and murdered runaways" in acting school.
Danny only plays robots, including in a sketch called "Robot v. Wade."
Pete's best line ever: What are you happy about? Did we get cancelled?
Character I related to most: Liz when she dances while making fun of Jack for saying he's in love with her.
Danny's best line ever: I want to be TGS's Steve Nash. Come down from canada, work hard, make the black guy look. good.
Kenneth's teeth are made of wood, and, when Frank plays a noise so low only people older than 40 can hear it, he hears it. #terrifyingKenneth

Finding Better Jewelry For Less
When was the last time you were excited about the jewelry pieces in your closet? I started thinking about different items that would work for me, and I realized that I didn't have a lot of things that I wore on a regular basis. I began going through and thinking carefully about jewelry selection, and I asked a friend to help me to do a little shopping. She was amazing to work with, and before I knew it, I had invested in pieces that were really meshing well with the rest of my wardrobe.

Protocols That Can Help With Selling Gold For Cash
You can make a worthwhile profit when you sell gold for cash. You might have gold necklaces, earrings, or bracelets that you're looking to get rid of. As long as you follow these protocols, you can have a smooth transaction and get a fair value for what you're selling to gold buyers.
Find the Highest Payout Possible
You can maximize the opportunity of selling gold for cash if you just take some time to find a buyer who's going to give you the highest payout possible. Then you'll have no regrets about letting your gold go because you're making a sound financial move.
You just need to gather offers for your gold pieces from as many buyers as you can, whether it's a platform that deals with these gold transactions or independent buyers working on their own accord. Then you can calculate the best offer and proceed accordingly.
Avoid Impulsive Selling
You may get some good offers pretty quick for gold you're looking to part ways with for cash but even still, you don't want to act on impulse. That would make you regret selling gold in the first place. Instead of acting impulsively, take as much time as you need.
See what offers are available for your gold and make sure you're truly ready to get rid of these pieces, especially if you're selling gold pieces that have some sentimental value. As long as you're patient, you'll be at total peace regarding these transactions.
Always Come to Realistic Terms
Even though you're trying to get the most cash as possible for gold, you still have to work in the confines of reality. Once you find a buyer interested in what you have to sell, do your best to stay realistic with the terms that are set up.
Maybe it's the price for your gold pieces, how shipping is going to take place, or how you negotiate with them. Being grounded like this will make it easier to work with all kinds of buyers and then you can easily sell gold for cash, even without having much experience with these transactions.
If you have some gold you want to sell and get cash for, make sure you're careful about who you sell to and how you ultimately complete this transaction. That's the best way to be totally satisfied once the gold ships out and you have cash from a buyer.

Chronicles in Ordinary Time 116: America no longer aspires to be a selfless nation »
Chronicles in Ordinary Time 115: I'm sorry I'm interrupting your puppies and kittens and desserts…
…No, I'm not. I'm sorry for your ignorance.
Cover Image: The Declaration of Independence by Melinda Lilly
You grew up thinking that your life was about you. I did the same thing. This is the way our country works—teaching us that what's important is us. When we think that the important part of this country is our self, those who actually run this country—the 1%—never have to worry about entering the 2%.
Your life was never about you.
Your life is about your relationships with others. Your lack of understanding of this truth is what causes all of your problems.
Some of those reading these words have a serious problem with those who are marching; they believe that somehow these protests demean the country.
If one reads the Declaration of Independence, one can striking parallels between the Declaration and the Executive Orders of Donald Trump in his first week in office. Our Founding Fathers, whether or not they considered women and people of color as "men" this meaning has been interpreted by the Supreme Court. Our Founding Fathers found that the harsh circumstances in which they lived under King George were cause to dissolve their union with Great Britain:
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness…
… The history of the present [one-week history of the President] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has ["will", because on March 16, 2016, President Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy created by the death of Antonin Scalia. Defying their Constitutional authority, the Senate refused to hold a hearing or vote on this nomination made during the last year of Obama's presidency, insisting that the newly elected president should fill the vacancy, nearly a year later] made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent [the Mexican Wall and the proposed 25% sales tax on Mexican imports:
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
And then they went to War, instead of staging protest marches.
So far, the protesters, following the Worldwide Women's March on Washington—one week ago—stand in lines, or march, chanting and holding signs. Today they are in airports; protesting Trump's ban on arrivals from the Middle East. In Dan Rather's words:
"For generations, we have been an imperfect but vital beacon of freedom to a world too often wandering and failing in moral confusion. But that ultimate strength has dimmed considerably in light of the recent actions on immigration from the new President Donald Trump. We are turning around desperate refugees. We are singling out men, women, and children on the basis of their faith – and we are doing all of this with a randomness and capriciousness that defies reason.
"A colleague of mine used the term "heartless" to describe so much of the President's executive actions. Sadly, I found it an apt and dispiriting diagnosis—especially when faced with the results of his executive order on immigration. For over the years, I have seen that our greatest American leaders extol empathy rather than condemnation. They have known that in a complicated world, it is best to make policy choices with a scalpel – not a hacksaw. Sometimes, when our national security is threatened at the level of World War II, all-out conflict is the only recourse. But those instances are by far the exception."
Thankfully a Federal Judge has just ruled that Trump's Ban on Muslims is unconstitutional [http://m.motherjones.com/politics/2017/01/muslim-ban-federal-court].
I'm sorry if your Facebook feed isn't full of pleasant thoughts and images that make you feel warm and comforted.
It's a harsh world now, and our President and his 'Cabinet of the 1%' have no investment in solving the problem; their investments, literally, are in making the problems worse. A dependence on coal and fossil fuels and a denial of research in alternative means of energy production. Ties to foreign governments. The Conflicts of Interest among Trump and his proposed Cabinet defy imagination.
I am an Immigrant Son—First Generation American on my Mother's side of my family heritage. My Grandparents and family came here from Norway, when the 20th Century was young.
My paternal grandmother and her siblings were First Generation Americans from Swedish immigrants. My paternal grandfather and his family crossed America by land, their ancestors having come from England and Wales.
By no choice of my own, I come from Northern European stock. So when my grandfather and my father joined the US Army in World War II, the women they left behind weren't sent to "Internment Centers" [aka Concentration Camps] because they weren't Japanese. They did not have to give up their homes and belongings because of the color of the skin, and the Creator-given design of their eyes.
There were no German Concentration Camps on American soil. Hard to tell a German by sight.
However, it's less hard to spot a Native American; their Concentration Camps are called "Reservation". American treaties with First Peoples were broken as soon as the ink was dry on the impressive parchment. There was a 1% then, too. They were intent on stealing land from the people who had lived on that land for Centuries.

Make sure the rug undersurface isn't damaging your floor.
2 Is a Latex Rug Safe for a Hardwood Floor?
Rubber-backed rugs and ceramic tiles are a significant component of the green home. Natural rubber is somewhat hypoallergenic, and the latex drained from the rubber plant is a renewable resource; however, these products may not be safe for all floors. Knowing what you have on the floors and in the rugs may prevent permanent damage.
Rubber-backed rugs will not discolor ceramic tile, but they could affect the grout. Grout that is not sealed correctly could yellow or discolor under rubber or latex backing; discoloration cannot be cleaned or removed. Latex backing is a rubber-based product which has other chemicals added that could affect the tile and the grout as well. Unless you are certain that there are no additional chemicals, particularly vinyls, in any of the products, it may be best to avoid rubber- or latex-backed rugs for all flooring.

Insight Optics is exclusively for such patients to provide them with specialized eyesight care from an experienced ophthalmologist. The idea for creating such an app triggered the creators when they studied the staggering statistics that 50% of 71 million patients examined by an eye specialist are at risk of vision loss.
The primary job of this app is to log refer retinal exams to local ophthalmologists for review. This app provides the users with information on whether they need to see an eye specialist. And in case there is a need, this app capture high-resolution images by integrating with the user's phone camera so that to get useful insights into their eye health. Also, this app notifies patients with all the ophthalmologists or optometrists available nearby.

Montana-based multimedia journalist and Outside magazine correspondent Elliott Woods served as a soldier in Iraq and was an embedded reporter in Afghanistan, where he won a National Magazine Award for his work. He roams widely, from the Central African Republic to Gaza and across the American West, and these days, he has come to see the very American conflict over the fate of our public lands as a defining moment in U.S. history. His film about elk hunting in the Durfee Hills of Montana – a parcel of public land completely blocked by private land held by the billionaire Wilks brothers – was released in 2017. You can watch the full trailer here. This podcast was recorded along the Flathead River last winter as Hal and Elliott both were travelling home from watching Cliven Bundy speak in Paradise, Montana.


Have you ever wondered who uses WordPress?
I get asked all the time and you'd be surprised to know who does use it.
One of the biggest advantages that WordPress has is that it is 'open source'; a term where anyone can modify and enhance the software to suit their own needs without paying anything. It is also a reason for their success.
It has been said that because of this, some people have a hard time taking WordPress seriously as a business and as a platform.
Perhaps the best way to demonstrate WordPress' capabilities is by highlighting some of the top brands around the world what do use WordPress.
Time is a New York City based weekly news magazine. It is famous for the annual "Person of the Year" (formerly "Man of the Year") cover story. It also covers current and breaking world news on their WordPress site.
Metro is a British newspaper published from Monday to Friday in a tabloid format. The paper is a common sight on public transport in various urban locations across the UK as well as being handed out to pedestrians by distributors. On top of that, their WordPress site is updated frequently with general news, sports, showbiz and lifestyle articles.
As the name mentions, BBC (the well-known domestic channel from UK) has its own digital cable and satellite television network in America too and is jointly owned by BBC Worldwide and AMC Networks (who coincidentally also have a WordPress site as you'll see later on). BBC America's WordPress site allows you to catch up on a huge number of popular programmes online.
The influential newspaper, which is often abbreviated as NTY, is a daily American newspaper which has existed since 1851. It is one of the most prominent newspapers in the world. Their corporate site is also powered by WordPress and this is where you'll find all the usual information about their corporate responsibility.
American cable and satellite television CNN (which stands for Cable News Network) has a news programme called CNN Newsroom, which is broadcast throughout the week using live and taped news reports as well as analysis from experts.

Similar to the Newsroom above, CNN En Español is CNN's very own 24-hour Spanish language television and radio news channel which broadcasts across the United States and also in Latin America. Their website also covers breaking and current news from Latin America, United States and the rest of the world.

New director of athletics Mark Coyle visits with Gopher fans in Perham, Minnnesota.
In what has become an annual rite of summer, a busload of Gopher coaches—this year accompanied by brand new athletic director Mark Coyle—hit the road June 1 for the first of two two-day trips around the state to meet Minnesotans in their home communities.
On Wednesday, June 1, the U of M contingent visited fans in Hutchinson and Perham, and the following day it made stops in Nisswa and Spicer. The traveling team included Coyle and coaches Tracy Claeys (football), Terry Ganley (women's swimming & diving), Sarah Hopkins (women's cross country), Hugh McCutcheon (volleyball), Chuck Merzbacher (women's tennis), Michele Redman (women's golf), Krystle Seidel (soccer), and Geoff Young (men's tennis). The events were emceed by Mike Grimm, a radio voice of the Gophers, and spiced by the antics of Goldy Gopher.
The appearance in Nisswa, at Grand View Lodge, was a typical gathering of enthusiastic fans, some of whom can't frequently make it to the Twin Cities to back their favorite teams in person.
Coyle kicked off the program in Nisswa by talking about the overall success of Gopher student-athletes, from their national and Big Ten championships to their exemplary performance in the classroom.
"There are many positive things going on on campus," he said. "Academically our students are doing it the right way; athletically, we're ranked fourth in the country (in the latest Learfield Directors' Cup standings). We've had tremendous success this year and we're very proud of it.

Q: ASP.NET 2.0 : Best Practice for writing Error Page In asp.net 2.0 web site, what is the best way of writing Error page. I have seen following section at following location:

*Web.Config
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="~/Pages/Common/DefaultRedirectErrorPage.aspx">

*Global.asax
void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

I am not getting how to use both of them in best way for Error handling.
Please guide me best approach.

A: In my global asax i always check to see what type of http error it is...
then transfer to the correct error page specified in web.config
I like to handle the usual suspects, 404 ( lost page ) and 500 ( server error )
some background on http status code is importaint to know why they are handled:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes
my web.config look something like this
<customErrors mode="On"  defaultRedirect="~/error.aspx"  >
  <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/lost.aspx"  />
  <error statusCode="500" redirect="~/error.aspx"  />
</customErrors>

my lost page has logic in it to attempt to find a link to the page that they might have been looking for, as well as some other formatting.
my error page is a bit different, showing some error messages ,
so i handle both differently.
depending if you have secured areas of your site you might want handle the 401/403 ?
protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var context = Context;

    var error = context.Server.GetLastError() as HttpException;
    var statusCode = error.GetHttpCode().ToString();

    // we can still use the web.config custom errors information to
    // decide whether to redirect
    var config = (CustomErrorsSection)WebConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.web/customErrors");
    if (config.Mode == CustomErrorsMode.On ||
        (config.Mode == CustomErrorsMode.RemoteOnly && context.Request.Url.Host != "localhost"))
    {
        // set the response status code
        context.Response.StatusCode = error.GetHttpCode();

        // Server.Transfer to correct ASPX file for error
        if (config.Errors[statusCode] != null)
        {

            HttpContext.Current.Server.Transfer(config.Errors[statusCode].Redirect);
        }
        else
            HttpContext.Current.Server.Transfer(config.DefaultRedirect);
    }
}

the reason i server transfer is so search engines don't get confused, and to keep my webmaster logs meaningful... if you redirect you return a http status 302 which tell the browser to go to the page redirected to... then this next page returns a status code 200 ( ok ).
302 --> 200 , or even 302 --> 404 has different meaning that just a 404...
then on say my 404 error page i make sure i set the status code of the http error:
protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Status = "404 Lost";
    Response.StatusCode = 404;

}

This article was helpful to me, I knew what I wanted to do but I like how this code looked at the web.config settings... http://helephant.com/2009/02/improving-the-way-aspnet-handles-404-requests/

Return the right status code
By default the page handling a 404
  error page doesn't return a 404 status
  code to the browser. It displays the
  error message that you provided to the
  user but doesn't have any extra
  information to flag the page as an
  error page.
This is called a soft 404. Soft 404
  pages aren't as good as ones that
  return the 404 status code because
  returning the 404 status code lets
  anything accessing your file that the
  page is an error page rather than a
  real page of you site. This is mostly
  useful for search engines because then
  they know they should remove dead
  pages from their index so users won't
  follow dead links into your site from
  results pages.
Pages that return 404 status codes are
  also useful for error detection
  because they'll be recorded in your
  server logs so if you have unexpected
  404 errors, they'll be easy to find.
  Here's an example of the 404 error
  report in Google Webmaster tools:

EDITS

Is it require to write
  server.clearerror() in global.asax?
  What does it impact

*

*No, You can do it on you error pages,
not sure the impact? if you do a
transfer non, if you redirect, there
might be the possibility another
error happened between the requests?
I don't know

Why in web.config we should write error.aspx
  twice one with status code 500 and another is
  defaultredirect

*

*I use 2 because a lost page should
show/and do different things than a
server error. the error page shows
the user there was an error that we
could not recover from... and its
probably our fault.  I leave a
default redirect for any of the other
error codes as well. 403,401,  400 (
they are more rare, but should be
handled )

Can you also tell me the code of error.aspx and lost.aspx.

*

*this depends on the type of website
you have. you get the error the same
way, but what you do with it is up to
you. on my lost page i search for
some content the user might have been
looking for. the error pages i log
the error and so a user friendly oops
page... you will need to figure out
what is needed.

A: BigBlondeViking's response worked great for me except that I found it did not process 403's (which ASP generates when you try to directly access the /Scripts/ or /Content/ directories.)  It appears that this is not propegated as an exception and thus not trappable in the Application_Error handling.  (this was identified as a "security vulnerability" by an external firm - don't get me started on that!)
protected void Application_PostRequestHandlerExecute(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!Context.Items.Contains("HasHandledAnError")) // have we alread processed?
    {
        if (Response.StatusCode > 400 &&  // any error
            Response.StatusCode != 401)   // raised when login is required
        {
            Exception exception = Server.GetLastError();    // this is null if an ASP error
            if (exception == null)
            {
                exception = new HttpException((int)Response.StatusCode, HttpWorkerRequest.GetStatusDescription(Response.StatusCode));
            }
            HandleRequestError(exception); // code shared with Application_Error
        }
    }
}

I also made a minor change in my common Error Handling.  As we are using ASP.NET MVC, I wanted to explicitly call into a controller, as well as pass the exception object.  This allowed me to access the exception itself so that I can log / send detailed e-mail depending on the code;
public ActionResult ServerError(Exception exception)
{
    HttpException httpException = exception as HttpException;
    if(httpException != null)
    {
        switch (httpException.GetHttpCode())
        {
            case 403:
            case 404:
                Response.StatusCode = 404;
                break;
        }
        // no email...
        return View("HttpError", httpException);
    }
    SendExceptionMail(exception);
    Response.StatusCode = 500;
    return View("ServerError", exception);
}

In order to pass the exception OBJECT (not just the message and code) I explicitly invoked the controller:
protected void HandleRequestError(Exception exception)
{
    if (Context.Items.Contains("HasHandledAnError"))
    {
        // already processed
        return;
    }
    // mark as processed.
    this.Context.Items.Add("HasHandledAnError", true);

    CustomErrorsSection customErrorsSection = WebConfigurationManager.GetWebApplicationSection("system.web/customErrors") as CustomErrorsSection;

    // Do not show the custom errors if
    // a) CustomErrors mode == "off" or not set.
    // b) Mode == RemoteOnly and we are on our local development machine.
    if (customErrorsSection == null || !Context.IsCustomErrorEnabled ||
        (customErrorsSection.Mode == CustomErrorsMode.RemoteOnly && Request.IsLocal))
    {
        return;
    }

    int httpStatusCode = 500;   // by default.
    HttpException httpException = exception as HttpException;
    if (httpException != null)
    {
        httpStatusCode = httpException.GetHttpCode();
    }

    string viewPath = customErrorsSection.DefaultRedirect;
    if (customErrorsSection.Errors != null)
    {
        CustomError customError = customErrorsSection.Errors[((int)httpStatusCode).ToString()];
        if (customError != null && string.IsNullOrEmpty(customError.Redirect))
        {
            viewPath = customError.Redirect;
        }
    }

    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(viewPath))
    {
        return;
    }

    Response.Clear();
    Server.ClearError();

    var httpContextMock = new HttpContextWrapper(Context);
    httpContextMock.RewritePath(viewPath);
    RouteData routeData = RouteTable.Routes.GetRouteData(httpContextMock);
    if (routeData == null)
    {
        throw new InvalidOperationException(String.Format("Did not find custom view with the name '{0}'", viewPath));
    }
    string controllerName = routeData.Values["controller"] as string;
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(controllerName))
    {
        throw new InvalidOperationException(String.Format("No Controller was found for route '{0}'", viewPath));
    }
    routeData.Values["exception"] = exception;

    Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;
    RequestContext requestContext = new RequestContext(httpContextMock, routeData);
    IControllerFactory factory = ControllerBuilder.Current.GetControllerFactory();
    IController errorsController = factory.CreateController(requestContext, controllerName);
    errorsController.Execute(requestContext);
}

Choral works are linked to recordings if available. Hover over titles to check.
Beni Swa Leternel
SSA with piano
Beni Swa Leternel was composed in March of 2010 at the request of Johnny Matlock, conductor of the (Kennedy Middle School/Felten Middle School) Singing Irish Falcons. The text is scored for SSA choir and combines Creole and English in a driving7/8 meter. While 7/8 is normally not found in music for young voices, the relatively simple patterns make the rhythms easily accessible for the singers. The more complex harmonies are confined to the piano accompaniment.
SATB with Wind Ensemble
In Our Time was composed as type of retrospective cantata on the fifteenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 tragedy. Each of the movements may be performed separately, but it is preferable to do them as a set.
When performed as a whole, each movement is prefaced with the spoken words, "in our time,"articulated by the choir in a mood reflective of the movement to follow. The conductor may cue the entire ensemble at once or may stagger the entrances in any way desired (left to right, center outward, etc.), but there is to be no attempt to coordinate the speech patterns together.
When performing the work with the Wind Ensemble parts, the band members may be included in the speaking parts.
I. Why Do the Nations Rage?
This movement is intended to convey anger with the behavior of the human race in a global sense. It is almost as if the speaker(s) of the text were asking, "what are you thinking?"
II. There Will Come Soft Rains
The poetry here speaks of a cataclysmic event (or is it?) in a subdued and sometimes subtle manner.
III. Last Night As I Was Sleeping
The text presents a speaker coming to the realization that individuals, with God's help, can truly make a difference.
This movement was originally composed as a stand-alone work for Johnny Matlock and the Hays High School Chamber Singers. It seemed to fit perfectly in this larger piece, both musically and textually, conveying a sense of hope in our individual power. The present version has been pitched down a half-step from the original to better accommodate the keys of the Wind Ensemble instrumentation.
IV. Ubi Caritas
When I visited the September 11th memorial in New York City, I has the opportunity to also visit St. Paul's Chapel across the street. One of the oldest churches in the United States, it sustained virtually no damaged during the attacks and served as for several months as a place of refuge for those workers attempting to clean up the devastation nearby. Food, beds and other comforts of home were provided by the people of the church, a reminder that the human race can, like the individual speaker of Movement III make a collective difference in the betterment of our world. The prelude should convey a sense of confirmation and peace through tone, text emphasis and subdued dynamic levels.
Last Night as I was Sleeping
SATB with piano
A few years back, Johnny Matlock, my friend and also my daughter's choral director, suggested that I write a piece for children's choir, a medium I knew absolutely nothing about. However, I was intrigued by the idea and when my wife found an engaging text in a mixture of Haitian and English, I quickly put together Beni Swa l'eternel and surprised him with it. A few years later, when his high school choir was slated to perform in Carnegie Hall, Johnny again wondered if I would write a new work. We tossed around a number of ideas for a text including the Psalms, quotes on the arts and even a proposed original work by a student. None of these caught our imagination until I discovered a poem by the Spanish composer Antonio Machado (1875-1939) entitled "Last Night As I Was Sleeping." The work's vivid, colorful and deeply inspiring text seemed to make the piece almost write itself and while the group was unable to perform it at Carnegie Hall for logistical reasons, Johnny gave a wonderful premiere in the fall of 2014.
Psalms, Praises and Gifts
SATB with piano and four part flexible instrumental accompaniment (cued in piano)
The idea for Psalms, Praises and Gifts began during a conversation with FHSU Director of Choral Activities Terry Crull during early 2015. Terry had recently heard the University Wind Ensemble perform a work in which the band members were required to sing and wanted to commission a piece in which selected choir members would pick up instruments and play. He also thought that a natural text would come from the Psalms, specifically those with references to singing, playing and dancing. While I was intrigued by the idea, especially with the opportunity to show how many students both play and sing, I wasn't sure how to make it work from a purely logistical standpoint. As I began to think on it, I decided to use a small instrumental ensemble which could be populated by as little as four players with the option of going up to any multiple of four to accommodate the size of the choir. I was able to accomplish this by setting up the instrumentation in an arrangement similar to the choir—that is, there would be parts which could be played by any instrument sounding in the soprano register (flute, oboe, trumpet, violin, etc.) and so forth. The accompanying recording uses clarinet and trumpet for the soprano register, alto saxophone and French horn for the alto, trombone and bassoon for the tenor with tuba and bass clarinet for the bass. At a cue in the music, these students step out of the choir, pick up the instruments and play.
The text is taken from Psalms 47, 81, 98, 140 and 150. It is presented initially in a variety of settings, but always with an emphasis on a straightforward setting that allow the words to be clearly understood. Following the instrumental interlude, various parts of the text are repeated in a venue that follows a pronounced call-and-response format.
Psalms, Praises and Gifts was commissioned by the Fort Hays State University Concert Choir, Dr. Terry Crull, director and premiered by the same ensemble at the Kansas Music Educators Association State Convention in February 2016.

Shortly after the catastrophic events of September 11, 2001, singer-songwriter Billy Joel was asked if he intended to write a short work as a memoriam. He replied no, feeling that the tragedy demanded a much larger composition in the nature of an orchestral piece or a Requiem. It was this interview that initially sparked the idea of a choral-band collaboration, although the idea lay dormant for nearly a decade. After the successful performances of my Seven Impressions by the Fort Hays State University Concert Choir in early 2011, I began seriously thinking about a Requiem for Choir and Wind Ensemble and how such a work might reflect the events of that tragic day. It seemed to me that the multitude of colors available in the contemporary wind band coupled with its potential for dramatic power would be the ideal medium for such a setting. Additionally, I decided to include the work of several prominent American poets alongside portions of the traditional Latin Mass with the intent of personalizing the composition towards a country forever altered in the space of a few hours (the score also eschews the use of conventional Italian performance and style terms in favor of English directions). My aim was not to attempt a musical depiction of any real-life events; it was rather to combine my own memories with evocations of the thoughts and feelings (as well as I could imagine) of those who were present in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
As composers have done historically, I chose to use selected portions of the Latin text to set. I used the Requiem (I.) and Offertory (V.) in their entirety while slightly abridging the lengthy sequence of the Dies Irae (II.) The Sanctus, Agnus Dei and In Paradisum (IX) are set in their entirety, but combined into a single movement. Overall, the work reflects a modified arch form and each of the nine movements, with the exception of the last is intended to end in such a way as to preclude its use in a stand-alone setting.
Seven Impressions
After several years of band compositions and works centered around winds and percussion, I decided to take a break and write a choral work. The poems of Emily Dickinson piqued my interest and I began selecting works with a chronological approach in mind. That is, the poetry would begin with a child-like viewpoint, then move towards adolescence, adulthood and maturity.
Even before having the opportunity to hear the work, my friend and colleague Terry Crull offered to give the premiere with the Fort Hays State University Concert Choir at the 2011 Kansas Music Educators Association All-State Convention. In gratitude for this generosity and support, the Seven Impressions are dedicated to him and the choir.


Co-founded Extraction Oil & Gas in 2012 with backing from Yorktown Partners. Previously, was operations engineer for PDC Energy, leading its horizontal completion and production activities in Wattenberg Field. Completed more than 45 horizontal Codell and Niobrara wells and was responsible for optimizing production. Began his career as operations engineer with Gasco Energy, working on deep, high-pressured gas wells in the Uinta Basin.
In Wattenberg, there were a lot of small, family-owned companies with acreage held by their vertical wells. "It was so cookie-cutter; companies could be hired to just drill and complete wells turnkey for a couple hundred thousand dollars.
Finding financing: Yorktown Partners was an investor in a production- enhancement company being run by Mark Erickson, a neighbor of Owen in Denver, who was CEO of Gasco at the time and is now chairman and CEO of Extraction and a co-founder. "I'd shown him the geology, why we thought that acreage would work, and how it would take a couple million to lease it and another $10 million to drill the first two wells to prove it up. He said, 'Yorktown's looking for younger management teams to sponsor.' He took me to New York to meet them. They agreed right there to fund us.
"Jesse and I were in our 20s; we hadn't thought we would be able to get started so soon." Within 45 days of getting funding, they were drilling their first well.
Industry entrée: Was attending Mines on a baseball scholarship and decided to take the summer off from traveling with teams. Erickson had encouraged him to study petroleum engineering. With internships full, Erickson told him that getting on a drilling rig would be the best experience. Worked in the Piceance Basin as a roughneck.
Matt and his wife met in high school; they married in August.
Picked college at Mines, in part, because the second baseman had just graduated, so he could play right away.
