Fashionable”? Russell Westbrook Ups His Fashion Game

Russell Westbrook has announced he will be the cover model for Sports Illustrated’s“Fashionable 50” issue. The Oklahoma City Thunder player has consistently pushed boundaries in his wardrobe choices and even ventured out to create his own line.

“My style changes throughout the year so even for me, it’s hard to describe it. I get inspiration from a lot of things. For basketball we travel a lot and I’m able to visit hotels and see different fabrics and art on the walls. I also get inspiration from women’s wear. It’s very interesting to see how the clothes are made and how they mix and match different pieces,” Westbrook told SI. “A lot of people may like to wear nice clothes, but some do not really understand where fashion comes from. I took the time to do my research and learn about the fashion world before I was able to get in to it. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley to pick their brains about the origins of fashion and how it all began. Now, I have my own brand with Barney’s and True Religion. I’ve been able to create this space for myself as a designer while still playing basketball.”

In addition to Westbrook, the best dressed athletes in sports issue features LeBron James, Victor Cruz, Serena Williams, Dwyane Wade and many more. The “Fashionable 50” issue of Sports Illustrated hits stands April 18th.

Our First Look at Pine Street Market

pinestreetmarket.jpgThe Pine Street Market—AKA the place where the Mercury staff will get its lunch for the next 1,000 years—is open, and since it’s right around the corner, we took a quick peek at the place to see what was happening. Only a handful of restaurants are open so far, but you can go there today, and get some grub and an eyeful if you can’t wait until the May 1 official opening.

Photos, food, and photos of food after the jump!

Pollo BravoPollo Bravo

Common LawCommon Law

The Pollo Bravo and Common Law counters did seem to be open for business; we saw some folks eating Pollo Bravo’s famed Spanish/Mexican style chicken at the counter, which doubles as a bar and looks like it will offer full cocktail service. And Common Law similarly has a bar tucked away in a tiny nook, where you can wash down the restaurant’s “European-Asian Union” cuisine from Paley’s Place Patrick McKee and Langbaan’s Earl Ninsom. Menu items include a spiced bone marrow and mussel toast, a beef tongue banh mi, shiitake mushroom dashi soup, a crab and butter lettuce salad, and braised short ribs with Asian style cabbage salad.

pinestreetmarket-trifecta.jpgTrifecta Annex looked as though it might be ready for business later today, with some freshly baked loaves at the ready and a stack of pizza boxes just crying to be filled. The Mercury staffers will no doubt make it a morning staple once their croissants and toast menu are up and running. We’ll wash it down with Brass Bar’s coffee from the Barista folks, although that particular counter is not ready yet.

OP Wursts visual menuOP Wurst’s visual menu

OP Wurst, the hot dog joint from the Olympia Provisions gang, will hopefully be open on Thursday, and they’ve got more frankfurter ideas than the entire city of Frankfurt, Germany, and Frankfort, Kentucky combined. This visual menu will be helpful for making some very difficult decisions. I will probably order just by pointing and grunting.

pinestreetmarket-seating.jpgimage:mermaid wedding dresses

A few other spots are not quite ready just yet, including Salt and Straw’s soft-serve offshoot WizBangBar, which they’re hoping will be ready for customer traffic by the weekend. (The crew was working on a few test batches when we popped in; expect creamy soft-serve cones housed in delicious looking shells of chocolate and natural raspberry, among other treats.) And Japanese ramen spot Marukin still has a ways to go before it’s open for business; likewise for Shalom Y’All, which takes its cue from John Gorham’s Mediterranean Exploration Company and will serve things like falafel and shakshuka.

Whichever joint you decide to hit up first, downtown’s lunch game just got real.

COPY/PASTE BE

Dropbox NotesYou can now share a file from Dropbox in Facebook Messenger without having to copy or paste one single thing. Instead of sharing links, the two apps are now integrated in a way that allows you to browse your files within Messenger, select the one you want to share, and then hit send.

Skip ►

mutedThe new feature is available from both the iOS and Android Messenger apps, and all you have to do is hit the “More” button to see the new Dropbox option. You’ll need to authenticate access the first time, but after that you should be able to quickly share Dropbox files in Messenger without having to leave the Messenger app.

dropbox-facebook-messenger“We want people to communicate just the way they want to on Messenger, with everyone they care about,” said Stan Chudnovsky, head of product for Messenger at Facebook, in a blog post. “Giving our users the ability to share their Dropbox videos and images in Messenger threads with just a few taps will help them bring more style and personality to those conversations.”

If you’re sharing an image or video, they will be directly viewable within the chat window, which makes them very easy to interact with. In the case of non-viewable files, the receiver will be able to open the file within the Dropbox app.

Dropbox is just the latest of a list of services to tap into the Messenger platform, which debuted almost exactly a year ago at Facebook’s F8 developers conference. Other recent additions include KLM Airlines, which now allows users to get flight updates and even digital boarding passes straight through the Messenger app. The announcement also comes right before Facebook is expected to announce the next step in Messenger: support for bots.

Dropbox support for Messenger will roll out in increments, so if you don’t see it right away, sit tight — it should be on the way!

Boston Red Sox Schedule Standings Stats Vid

The Boston Red Sox went into Sunday’s series finale against Toronto having scored 28 runs over their past four games, including back-to-back comeback wins over the Blue Jays. But the Blue Jays, who started season as the American League front-runners just ahead of the Red Sox, weren’t about to let Boston sweep them so easily. Blue Jays pitcher Marco Estrada was dealing from the start, ending his day with five hits allowed, eight strikeouts and just two walks over seven scoreless innings. Steven Wright was similarly impressive, but as it turned out, a rough first inning, during which he gave up two runs (one earned), was all the Jays needed. Toronto’s bullpen kept Boston off the board in the eighth and ninth innings, with closer Roberto Osuna striking out the side for the save. The Blue Jays’ pitching, along with some heads-up defense, kept the Red Sox off the board through nine, en route to a 3-0 loss for Boston. Here are some more notes from Boston’s loss Sunday. Click to read the Red Sox Wrap>> — Dustin Pedroia almost scored in the third inning on a Xander Bogaerts double, but a perfectly executed relay by the Blue Jays killed any chance at a rally. Jose Bautista collected Bogaerts’ hit in right field and sent it to Ryan Goins, whose throw to catcher Russell Martin was perfect to nab Pedroia at the plate.

— Wright didn’t strike out 10 batters, but his start Sunday certainly was comparable to David Price’s Opening Day gem. The knuckleballer actually has the lowest ERA and longest start after the first pass through the rotation after 6 2/3 innings of work with two runs (one earned), three walks and five strikeouts, good for a 1.35 ERA. — Hanley Ramirez said he felt “back home” in the infield, and it’s been showing at the plate. Ramirez was the bright spot in the Red Sox’s unproductive day, going 3-for-4 with a double. Boston has played just five games, but Ramirez is the best hitter so far, batting .455 (10-for-22) with a 1.205 OPS. — Again, it’s still extremely early in the 2016 season, but Mookie Betts can’t seem to find his swing yet. The Red Sox’s leadoff hitter went 2-for-5 with a home run on Opening Day, but he has struggled since then, going 1-for-18 in his next four games and lowering his average to .130. — Brock Holt was out of Boston’s lineup Sunday and wasn’t available to pinch hit after fouling a ball off his foot the previous day. X-rays came back negative, and the Red Sox utility man said he’d probably be good to go Monday.

Beijing risks ‘ERM-style’ currency crisis as deflation persists

chinaA top adviser to the Chinese government has warned that Beijing risks a currency blow-up akin to Britain’s traumatic ordeal in 1992, if it continues trying to defend its exchange rate peg amid a deepening deflation crisis.

Yu Hongding, a director of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said China is caught in two concurrent “deflationary spirals” that are feeding on the other. A major devaluation and a blast of well-targeted fiscal stimulus will be needed to break out of the trap.

“They must stop intervening on the exchange market. China needs to devalue by 15pc. They are creating conditions for speculators,” he told the Daily Telegraph, speaking at the Ambrosetti forum of global policymakers on Lake Como.

Prof Yu, a former rate-setter for the central bank (PBOC) and currently a member of the national planning committee, said the government is making a serious mistake in trying to defend the yuan by burning through foreign exchange reserves, already down to $3.2 trillion from $4 trillion in mid-2014.

He warned that the slowdown in capital outlows in March may prove fleeting. “Reserves will continue to fall until we devalue. Once we get towards $2 trillion the markets will start to panic. They won’t believe that the government can control it any longer,” he said.

chinaReserves have fallen by $800bn to $3.2 trillion as capital leaks out of China CREDIT:FATHOM

Prof Yu said Beijing had been caught off guard by the relentless slowdown over the last five years. “In 2011 we thought the economy would stabilize, and we thought the same thing in 2012, and again in 2013, and it continued to slide,” he said.

It is far from clear whether the world could handle a 15pc devaluation given the vast scale of Chinese overcapacity, or that the US Treasury and Congress would tolerate such a move.

Fears of uncontrollable capital flight and a yuan devaluation were key reasons for the plunge in global equity markets earlier this year, and are clearly what prompted the US Federal Reserve to delay rate rises.

The fate of China’s currency has become the most neuralgic issue in global finance. One worry is that a sharp drop in the yuan would set off a second round of ‘currency wars’ across East Asia, transmitting a deflationary shock through the international system as cheap Asian exports flooded into Western markets.

Prof Yu’s life is a remarkable story of achievement in Maoist China. He worked for ten years in a machine factory, wrestling with Marx’s Das Kapital at night before discovering western economics. He devoured Paul Samuelson’s classic text, ‘Foundations of Economic Analysis’, first in a Chinese translation and then in the original after teaching himself English, no easy feat in the Cultural Revolution.

He went onto to earn a doctorate at Oxford University, and was still in England when sterling was blown out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism in September 1992. He still recalls the exact details of the debacle, including the two desperate rate rises by the Bank of England in a single day. “The British experience is very interesting for us,” he said.

Shop a Spring Dress a Day

Shop a Spring Dress a Day: The Elevated, Yet Easy Way to Wear Whiteimage:backless wedding dresses

The best way to usher in spring? A wardrobe full of new dresses. Every day this week, we’ll be spotlighting a dress that we adore (and that we’ll most likely scoop up for ourselves), along with styling ideas and tips, so that you can have your chicest season yet.

Though little black dresses get all the fanfare, we are particularly taken with little white dresses (or LWDs) when the weather warms up. Whether worn with sun-kissed skin at the beach or sneakers at the flower market, there is a certain effortlessness that exudes from a breezy cotton frock.

Group Weddings You Share

Six brides. One wedding. Tiffany Williams and Dwayne Salandy long put off tying the knot. The couple, who met seven years ago, are extremely busy (finishing graduate school and opening a dojo, respectively), and they considered a traditional wedding (and the stress inherent in planning one) daunting. So last Thursday, Ms. Williams and Mr. Salandy got hitched at a pop-up wedding.

The event, produced by the startup PopBliss (“The new way to say I Do”), was among the first of its kind. For $5,000 each, the couples received a completely pre-planned nuptial at a secret location. A bus picked up clients and their guests at Yotel, then transported them to a mystery venue—in this case the 210-foot Hornblower Infinity yacht.

The fee—a bargain compared to the average Manhattan wedding which costs more than $76,000, according to The Knot—included every single thing needed for a ceremony and reception, except the dress, tuxedo and rings. The only catch: five other couples and their guests take the plunge at the same time.

It’s something like a Vegas chapel for millennials.

The concept appealed to the newly named Ms. Salandy. “I liked that…I just show up and get whisked away.”

Valerie Nome, who happens to be an event planner for Bauer Publishing, and her now-husband Jon Yarger, only heard about PopBliss a few weeks ago. “There would have been no way for us to plan something on this scale. So when the opportunity arose, we thought it screamed us,” she said.

Following a “mocktail” hour while docked at Pier 40 on West Houston Street, an interfaith minister prompted the grooms to step out from behind a curtain onto a red carpet strewn with rose petals. The brides, who hid behind a curtain on the opposite side of the room, followed suit. One by one, the couples walked toward each other, meeting on a stage where they took turns exchanging vows and rings. Shortly after a synchronized “you may now kiss the bride”—Mazel Tovs—there was a group first dance, cookie-cutter cake cutting and a simultaneous bouquet toss.

It’s time to allow conservative

The Conservative movement’s leadership must drop its ban on Conservative rabbis officiating at interfaith weddings — before it’s too late.

The Rabbinical Assembly’s unequivocal rule is that a Conservative rabbi may not officiate at an intermarriage. But after 42 years as an active rabbi, during which I abided by that prohibition, I now believe it is no longer in the best interests of Conservative Judaism or the Jewish community.

Reality has overtaken us. Sixty percent of Jews who wed marry someone from another faith. The Conservative movement’s prohibition is ineffective as policy if our goal is to reduce intermarriage. It is counterproductive if we are trying to influence Jewish souls and bring them closer to the Jewish community. It needs to be modified if we are to serve our congregants faithfully.

We all want a strong future for our Jewish community. Intermarriage, the argument goes, weakens that future. But that’s not necessarily so.

In most cases of intermarriage, Jewish partners are not abandoning Judaism or rejecting their heritage, family, congregation or people. They just want to marry the people they love.

Often they want a “Jewish wedding,” which is why they want the officiant to be a rabbi, preferably one with whom they have a relationship. That is why they are so hurt when we refuse.

As they plan their interfaith ceremony, they learn more about the elements of a Jewish wedding. They typically choose to have achuppah, blessings over wine, seven marriage blessings, a ketubah and the breaking of the glass. They include these elements not to please their parents but for themselves. They often express surprise at how important these rituals turn out to be for them.

We do not know which interfaith couples will raise their children as Jews. We do not know which of their children — whether their parents raise them as Jews or not — will want to claim their Jewish identity. The landmark 2013 Pew Research Center study of U.S. Jewry found that among millennials, 61 percent of those born to intermarried couples consider themselves Jewish.

We need to recognize that even when two Jews marry, there is no guarantee that their children will be dedicated Jews.

Some argue that if Conservative rabbis officiate at intermarriages, it will further lower Jewish standards and encourage intermarriage.

This is nonsense. It is delusional to think that a rabbi’s refusal to officiate will change any couple’s mind about whether to wed. Who would forgo a life with their beloved just because their beloved rabbi can’t be at their wedding ceremony?

The Conservative movement has approached intermarriage with ambivalence. Rabbis must refuse to be part of intermarriage ceremonies (we’re not even supposed to attend such ceremonies, though many of us do), but after the wedding we open our arms to the newly married couple and invite them to become part of our community.

But those we push away on Saturday night are not so ready to come back on Sunday morning. It is not easy to get over the initial sting of rejection and the stigma of the ambivalent way we view their marriage.

For a decade or so before my retirement from the pulpit in 2014, I increasingly felt uncomfortable sending young people for whom I had been their lifelong rabbi and our congregation their lifelong place of worship to a rabbi they did not know to perform the most sacred ceremony of their life just because their beloved was not Jewish. I felt I was abandoning them.

The issue became personal after I retired. My stepdaughter became engaged to someone who is not Jewish. Initially, I thought I would approach one of my Reform colleagues to do the ceremony. But the couple wanted me to marry them, not a stranger. We talked about it. They wanted the ceremony to be as Jewish as possible. The religious symbolism would be exclusively Jewish, and I would be the only clergy officiating.

So I agreed. Looking back, I can’t believe I even gave it a second thought. Since then, I have agreed to do similar ceremonies for people dear to me, out of a sense of friendship, loyalty and love. In each case, I have been impressed by the sincerity of the couples and their desire to make their wedding both a personal and Jewish statement. I have been touched by their gratitude for my presence as a rabbi, blessing their most emotionally intimate moment in life and affirming the promise of their place in the Jewish community.

We can no longer stand on the sidelines, piously refusing to involve ourselves in intermarriage ceremonies. If we extend ourselves with acceptance, if we affirm the legitimacy of the loving choices people make by agreeing to be part of their ceremonies, more couples would be inclined to seek the spiritual fulfillment that comes from Jewish commitment.

At the very least, a superfluous impediment to couples’ involvement in our Conservative Jewish houses of worship would be removed.

It looks like these two

Josh Altman and Heather BilyeuIt looks like these two have officially closed the deal! Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star, Josh Altman, said “I do” to longtime love Heather Bilyeu in a lavish Aspen, Colorado, wedding over the weekend. And it looks like these spared no expense when it came to their marriage ceremony details, including hanging crystal and antler chandeliers, hundreds of gorgeous flowers and more.

After putting their million-dollar style to the test over the weekend in an extravagant wedding ceremony at the St. Regis Aspen Resort in Aspen, Colorado, these two real estate experts can officially say they are off the market, Us Weekly reports. The Bravo series newlyweds chose the traditional route when it came to tying the knot under an opulent Jewish chuppah, which was dramatically embellished with budding white flowers and branches. The ceremony, which took place in front of 82 friends and family, seamlessly accentuated the rustic features of the breathtaking mountain backdrop.

“Aspen Mountain is the backdrop of the ceremony,” Bilyeu, who donned a stunning custom Nektaria wedding dress for the occasion (complete with over 6,500 hand sewn pearls and beads), told Us Weekly. “We really wanted to….have our décor work with that and showcase the mountain and play up the rustic Aspen vibes.”

Thanks to the clever wedding hashtag #altmanatthealtar, the couple and their lucky guests showcased the ceremony’s gorgeous décor on Instagram, featuring numerous shots of the extravagant altar, which was surrounded by a slew of “rustic chic” elements, including frosted green accents and hanging crystal and antler chandeliers. The couple’s flower designer Aspen Branch featured a catalogue of various angles of the stunning chuppah made of natural wood beams and flowers.

Another popular social media moment included several photos capturing the stunning bride’s detailed corset gown. Bilyeu posted a snapshot of her gown’s detailed train and elegant veil, with a caption that included a sweet shout out to her new husband. “Words can’t describe how happy I am to be married to my best friend,” wrote the bride. “This was an incredible 4 day celebration with friends, family and my now husband @thejoshaltman. Thank you for making me the happiest girl in the world baby. I love you – Mrs. Altman.”
