Bilgore Star Ruby "Star of Katandru"
celebrity names
Image by cliff1066™
Some of the most interesting members of the gem kingdom are those reflecting bright bands of light that form stars. This optical phenomenon, called chatoyancy, is caused by light reflecting off of parallel bundles of tiny hollow tubes or fibrous crystals of another mineral inside the gemstone. When a properly oriented stone is cut en cabochon, round or oval shape with a domed top and flat bottom, the star is visible. This exceptional 16.21 carat Sri Lankan star ruby, the "Star of Katandru," has a well-centered star with straight arms of sharp intensity, and a uniform and beautiful body color. The Star of Katandru, named in honor of the donor’s children, was generously gifted by Jeffrey Bilgore in 2004.

Spanish Inquisition Necklace
celebrity names
Image by cliff1066™
The Spanish Inquisition Necklace consists of two strands of antique-cut diamonds and emeralds to which a lower pendant and upper chain containing modern, brilliant-cut diamonds were added. The necklace contains 374 diamonds and 15 emeralds. The emeralds undoubtedly came from Colombia, while the diamonds were obtained from India, the only source of diamonds until 1723. The large, central, barrel-shaped emerald weighs approximately 45 carats. Due to its rich color and exceptional clarity, it is one of the world's finest emeralds. The stones were probably cut in India in the seventeenth century, making them the earliest cut gems in the National Gem Collection. Although the origin of the necklace's name is unknown, it was probably created this century in reference to its similarity to other jewelry of the period. However, according to legend, at least a portion or a variation of the necklace belonged to Spanish royalty and was later worn by ladies of the French court. The necklace was purchased by the Maharaja of Idore in the early twentieth century. In 1948, Harry Winston purchased the necklace from the Maharaja's son. The necklace then became part of Winston's "Court of Jewels" traveling exhibition. Cora Hubbard Williams of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania bought the necklace from Winston in 1955 and donated it to the Smithsonian Institution in 1972.

That's Matsumoto Jun (aka MatsuJun) pictured on her fan. Yes, I had to ask, since I barely know any Japanese celebrities by name. I'll take a wild guess here and assume she likes to watch J-dorama.

Shot with Tamron 28-300mm lens on Sony A200.

I should have shot it @ ISO 800 and +2 EV? I did not have enough time to change the settings on camera. May be I should improve my reflexes. Another mistake is I did not shoot it in RAW :(

Thanks to $ udhakar for the name of the bird.

Catriona Le May Doan wears Lovas - Heart and Stroke Foundation - The Heart Truth celebrity fashion show - Red Dress - Red Gown - Thursday February 8, 2012 - Creative Commons
celebrity names
Image by Jason Hargrove
In any endeavour, crossing the finish line first – and repeatedly – takes incredible determination, dedication and talent. Catriona Le May Doan knows all about it. Canada’s Athlete of the Year in 2002, Catriona is the speed skater whose world record-setting wins captivated and inspired millions of Canadians.

A two-time Olympic Gold Medallist and the fastest woman on ice, Catriona has been honoured as the Canadian flag bearer at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games opening ceremonies. It was these very same Games that she won the gold medal in the 500-metre event, defending her 1998 Olympic 500m gold and became the first and only Canadian to defend a gold medal at any Olympic Games. She broke the world record for the event 8 times, and at the 2002 Games, set an Olympic record time of 37.30 seconds. She is also a 5-time World Champion.

Although Catriona retired from the world of competitive speed skating, she is still a central figure in the sport. She served as the primary colour commentator for the CTV television broadcast of long track speed skating at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games which earned her a Gemini for Best Sports Analyst. Catriona will be the morning show co-host of CTV’s 2012 Olympic Summer Games from London, England.

Catriona is not only a world champion but a talented motivational speaker as well. Articulate, engaging and fluently bilingual, she connects with audiences by discussing how to achieve personal excellence and motivating people to realize their full potential. Her achievements have landed her in the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, the Canadian Olympic Committee Sports Hall of Fame, and was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada.

Toronto native, Wesley Badanjak completed a Bachelor of Biology at York University and received a Bachelor of Fashion Design with Honours at Ryerson University. While studying fashion, Badanjak garnered many awards for his distinctive style and tailoring expertise, which resulted in two highly regarded internships for women’s wear label PEROS and Holt Renfrew Design Studios. He was named winner of the Telus Mobility Canadian Fashion Designer Awards in 2007 and had the opportunity of representing Canada at the REMIX competition in Milan, Italy for superior fur design in 2008. Since graduating, he has worked with the label tevrow+chase under American designer Paul Sinclaire, and with acclaimed Canadian designer David Dixon.

Late in 2008, Badanjak ventured on his own and debuted LOVAS Wesley Badanjak, a contemporary women’s wear label focused on classic tailoring and precise finishing. The looks are fashion forward and modern, yet exceptionally wearable. Badanjak’s detailed construction using luxurious fabrics provides a distinct point-of-view in the fashion marketplace.

Badanjak’s inspiration varies from season to season, yet he is always drawn to his love of history, music and his Croatian heritage. The collections infuse these common threads into contemporary fashions of the highest quality for today’s woman.

Cool Toys pic of the day - My Name Is Me
celebrity names
Image by rosefirerising
My Name is Me:
my.nameis.me/

Those of you who follow me in other spaces are probably already aware
of my frustration & fury over the ill-informed policies of Facebook
and Google Plus to require use of a person's legal name on their
services. As someone who has been trying to provide support to
underserved and marginalized communities and individuals for most of
my professional career (as in decades), I am intimately aware of the
dangers of being forced to use a name that might make you a target or
which might convey unnecessary information about you to those who have
no business knowing it. Others have ably pointed out how this sort of
policy effectively empowers the identity thieves and stalkers more
than it protects anyone. And others have pointed out that the
liability for privacy invasions committed via these services should
really rest with the service that forced use of the public name.
Wouldn't it be interesting if victims of identity theft started suing
Facebook?

With Google having announced that people who don't follow their naming
guidelines have four days to get their affairs in order, this is
particularly timely.

Google+ Giving Four Days' Ggrace Period to Potential Name Policy Violators:
launch.is/blog/google-giving-four-days-grace-period-to-po...

Google proves that they (a) don't get it, (b) don't care, and (c) have
no problem being the bully in grade school classroom who sucks up to
the teacher when they are watching. I am normally a huge Google fan,
but this is just too too profoundly distressing for me. That they are
entirely willing to compromise safety of victims and marginalized
persons for some vague possibility of a benefit they are unable to
clearly articulate and for which there is insufficient evidence to
justify. If this was a healthcare situation and a clinician pressed a
patient to accept a treatment with similar levels of evidence that
clinician would be at high risk of losing his license.

My Name Is Me is both an activism and advocacy site in support of
personal choice and personal control.

Rosemary Edghill:
"I don’t want to see the right to choose who we are online — to name
ourselves as we choose — taken away from us. I believe we have a
fundamental right to name ourselves, define ourselves, to share
information with others — or not share it — online and offline.
We have a right to choose our own names."
my.nameis.me/427/rosemary-edghill/

Cory Doctorow:
"Boing Boing’s best commenters and suggesters are almost all
pseudonymous, and for me, knowing the names my readers and
collaborators choose is much more interesting than knowing their
“real” names — the name someone’s parents chose is a lot less telling
than the name that person chose, after all."
my.nameis.me/393/cory-doctorow/

Albatross:
"I have used the online handle Albatross since I began using
Minnesota’s educational computer network MECC in 1975, during the Ford
Administration. MECC offered online chat, games, and discussion forums
to Minnesota students decades before the Internet made such things
commonplace."
"If a person wants to be referred to by a particular name or gender
pronoun, my transgender friends have shown me that it is simply
courteous to do so. Likewise, it is simple courtesy to allow people to
adopt whatever handles they wish in order to be addressed in online
communications."
my.nameis.me/342/albatross/

In their words:
"“My Name Is Me” is about having the freedom to be yourself online. We
want people to be able to identify themselves as they wish, rather
than being forced to choose names by social networking websites and
other online service providers.
Websites such as Facebook and Google+ ask you to use a name that
conforms to a certain standard. Though their policies vary, what they
would like you to use is the name that appears on the ID in your
wallet, your employer’s records, or on the letters your bank sends
you. They don’t understand that many people go by other names, for a
wide variety of reasons."
my.nameis.me/about/

My Name is Me provides a marvelous short list of examples of people
who are or may be harmed by forced real name policies:

"Abuse survivors
Academics
Activists
Adoptees
Artists
Authors
Bloggers
Caregivers
Celebrities
Digital natives
Fans
Free speech advocates
Gamers
Genderqueer people
Global cultures
Government employees
Internet veterans
Journalists
LGBT people
Models
Nicknamed people
People from small communities
People of color
People with disabilities
Politically active people
Professionals
Religious people
SCAdians
Sex workers
Sexual minorities
Teachers
Technologists
Website operators
Whistleblowers
Women
Young people"

They highly recommend this more complete list, with these major
categories of persons impacted by these policies.

Who is harmed by a "Real Names" policy?
geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Who_is_harmed_by_a_%22Real_Na...

Marginalised and endangered groups
People with direct identity concerns
Subject-related considerations
Employment-related
People whose "real names" are more complicated than you think
People with long-standing pseudonyms
People whose "real names" are extremely common or extremely rare
People who are comfortable using their uncomplicated "real names"

Even better, they give brief and clear descriptions of how the
policies might impact on persons in the example categories. Brilliant,
all the way around.

Brownie Tower, Sugar Spun Scene

Image by Renée S. Suen
I think one can imagine the childlike glee of all the attendees who stayed for the aptly named "Sweet Dreams" after party. Thankfully I was carrying my P&S - so I captured the "sweet" scene partway into the carnage. There's nothing like a room full of well dressed (and heeled) people feasting on sugar laden treats and downing copious amounts of liquor.

I think this brownie tower was still left intact by the end of the evening.
