			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In everyday life is full of  &#8220;interest&#8221; and coinsidence.</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s technology-laden society, hearing of crimes solved or cold cases cracked with state-of-the-art tech tools has become commonplace. But for one New Jersey family all it took to catch an alleged thief was a camera and a little luck.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-384 aligncenter" title="_theft" src="http://www.aboutbags.org/wp-content/up/2010/08/theft.jpg" alt="_theft" width="532" height="299" /></p>
<p>John Myers and his family from Bloomfield, New Jersey, were in Madison, Wisconsin, on Saturday to attend a friend&#8217;s wedding that was taking place at the state capitol building. According to Myers, the family went outside after the ceremony to take pictures. He decided it would be a good idea to take a family portrait with his digital camera, and set this bag down next to building before stepping away to snap the shot.</p>
<p>When Myers captured the scene, unbeknownst to him or his family he also had caught a person red-handed in the act of stealing his bag.</p>
<p>&#8220;Looking back now it wasn&#8217;t a good idea to leave my bag so far away,&#8221; Myers told CNN Tuesday. &#8220;But I just wasn&#8217;t thinking of it at the time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although Myers did look at the picture quickly, he admits he was only checking to make sure everyone came out okay. It was only after walking away that he realized he had forgotten his bag &#8212; which contained his wallet, hotel and rental car keys and other family valuables and necessities.</p>
<p>Myers says that when he got back to the spot, the bag was missing. No one had turned it in at the information center inside the capitol building.</p>
<p>He realized then that someone must have taken it. After stepping outside of the building and seeing wedding photographers, he decided to take a second look at the pictures he had just taken.</p>
<p>It turned out to be the right hunch. In the background of the family portrait, Myers saw an image of someone reaching into his bag as it sat. He took it to the Wisconsin Capitol Police, who immediately went into action.</p>
<p>&#8220;The capitol police are amazing,&#8221; Myers told CNN. &#8220;I fully expected to have them tell us to just fill a report or (to) tell us there wasn&#8217;t much they could do. but (they) responded immediately and because they did, they were able to catch (a suspect).&#8221;</p>
<p>After Myers showed the pictures, two officers were immediately dispatched to look for a suspect, while a third stayed with Myers and sent out a description.</p>
<p>Within 15 minutes, Myers said, police had not only arrested a suspect, but they had also located Myers&#8217; bag and all his belongings, some of which had been thrown away during the heist.</p>
<p>According to Wisconsin authorities, a homeless man identified as Glenn R. Lambright was arrested in the incident. He was released Tuesday from Dane County Jail on a signature bond. It was not known Tuesday night whether Lambright had an attorney.</p>
<p>Myers, meanwhile, said he was pleasantly shocked by the quick police response. &#8220;I caught the picture but I was even more amazed they managed to find the person since all they had to go on was his clothing &#8212; his face wasn&#8217;t in the picture,&#8221; Myers said.</p>
<p>I really think it was like a movie or the situation happening in the TV.The thief is really a tradegy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 30-year-old British designer Stuart Vevers is known to have saved Mulberry brand and currently is the creative director of the Spanish brand Loewe unber LVMH Group.This autumn and winter , Loewe will release all-basic design, the leading one of which is the natural color paper-bag-shaped bags &#8212; Papelle (in Spanish : Paper) and it is classified into large ,medium and small sized shape.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-370" title="Papelle 42($1950)Papelle 35($1450)Papelle 28($1330)" src="http://www.aboutbags.org/wp-content/up/2010/08/Papelle-421950Papelle-351450Papelle-281330.jpg" alt="Papelle 42($1950)Papelle 35($1450)Papelle 28($1330)" width="579" height="423" /><img class="size-full wp-image-369 aligncenter" title="Loewe Papelle 42(large sized,$1950)" src="http://www.aboutbags.org/wp-content/up/2010/08/Loewe-Papelle-42large-sized1950.jpg" alt="Loewe Papelle 42(large sized,$1950)" width="557" height="513" /></p>
<p>To our interest, Papelle chooses simplicity instead of complexity, but simplicity creates the fashion. Because  the bags are too much alike the kraft paper bags,the awareness is excessively high .And original idea being low-pitched of the designer has been destroyed thoroughly.However,the short handle greatly reduces the bag&#8217;s practicality. Whether the girls will buy the the kind of bags is still a X;we will wait to see the bag sales.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-371 aligncenter" title="model and Loewe Papelle" src="http://www.aboutbags.org/wp-content/up/2010/08/model-and-Loewe-Papelle.jpg" alt="model and Loewe Papelle" width="341" height="423" /></p>
<p>In my opinion, Loewe 2010 spring and summer bag eddition is just right at the level of being low-pitched which is not only simple but also practical with slight retro.It has no need to screaming &#8220;I want to be low-pitched.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do luxury brands employ to market themselves? Apart from star designers, celebrities voice and It bag, there is advanced shopping experience.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Replacing the large, heavily embellished bags of recent history are vintage-inspired ladylike models topped off with a handle or two.</p>
<p>The style offers a feminine contrast to fall&#8217;s menswear-inspired details like strong-shouldered jackets and complement the longer-length &#8217;50s style skirts being turned out in pinstripes and plaids.</p>
<p>&#8220;The new direction for handbags this season is a return to a structured, ladylike handbag,&#8221; says Ken Downing, senior vice-president and fashion director of Neiman Marcus. &#8220;With the sharp tailoring and appreciation for men&#8217;s tailored details, the structured bag is the go-to bag.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sister classic-silhouette satchels and frame bags had their place on the runway, too.</p>
<p>These bags all look right with of-the-moment fashion, but also go well with just about everything in your closet short of formal eveningwear, says Julia Kalachnikoff, accessories director for Lucky magazine. All retro in look, they are versatile enough for jeans but go through cocktails, she says.</p>
<p>Some of the latest options from designers such as Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton and Prada recall the bags carried by gloved hands in the middle of the last century. Today&#8217;s versions, though, are anything but stuffy, and there&#8217;s plenty of room for all your stuff.</p>
<p>The bags are larger than those of the &#8220;Mad Men&#8221; era and are modernized with cellphone pockets, sleek hardware and mixed materials, Kalachnikoff says. Many of the satchels feature the now-ubiquitous crossbody strap.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a way of modernizing a shape that was big in the &#8217;50s and &#8217;60s,&#8221; she explains.</p>
<p>They carry the overall tone of polish, crafted in leather or texture-rich ostrich, pony and deer skin, crocodile, alligator and snakeskin. Trims in velvet and lace add a touch of the romantic and some are done up in fur or have a chain or lock detail.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s more about the leather than it is about hardware or embellishments,&#8221; says Claire Foster, accessories editor for trend forecaster Stylesight. &#8220;There was studding all over the place for such a long time. That&#8217;s completely gone.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kalachnikoff calls the bags &#8220;the eventual backlash&#8221; against black and heavy hardware. &#8220;It&#8217;s nice to be cleaned up and keep things a little more simple.&#8221;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also a lighter palette.</p>
<p>&#8220;Camel is really the big hit colour of the season,&#8221; she says, adding that there are also soft yellows, blues and greens. &#8220;There are lots and lots of neutrals. Everything is just a little bit muted.&#8221;</p>
<p>Foster also notes the return to tan leathers, like sand, stone and mustard, which are being shown along with pale pink and blue-greys.</p>
<p>Neiman&#8217;s is featuring the trend in all shades of green, especially olive, a reflection of the latest infatuation with the military look. The greens work well with popular apparel colours, including browns and camels as well as bright jewel tones like saffron and paprika. &#8220;Olive has a newness to it,&#8221; Downing says. &#8220;It becomes a neutral for the season.&#8221;</p>
<p>Traditional and a little more conservative, the bags are seen as in keeping with today&#8217;s minimal times and minimal clothing looks.</p>
<p>Amid the economic crisis, Foster says, women still want to shop but are looking to get more for their money. These bags are a good investment, she says, because they are less showy and more subtle. &#8220;They are the bag you will carry the whole season with every outfit. It&#8217;s returning to that old way of looking at an accessory — that it&#8217;s going to last you.&#8221;</p>
<p>With so many choices, Foster thinks they&#8217;ll be a hit. &#8220;You can take it in more of a fashion directional edge if you want to because it has interesting properties and exotic leather but the simpler styles are really accessible for a wide range of people,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>Kalachnikoff agrees. &#8220;Whatever your look is, there&#8217;s something in this category that will appeal to you.&#8221;</p>
<p>There are always other bag shapes to buy, just in case you&#8217;re looking for something different:</p>
<p>—Strips of fringy leather have been around since the Wild West, but they&#8217;re getting the luxury treatment on handbags. Jimmy Choo, Prada and Fendi are offering a fringe bag or two for fall.</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re definitely luxe-ing them up and making it modern,&#8221; Kalachnikoff says.</p>
<p>Fringe is emerging now and will likely grow into a full-blown trend by springtime, adds Neiman&#8217;s Downing. &#8220;It&#8217;s a nod to the peasant-inspired looks of Yves Saint Laurent made famous in the &#8217;70s with flounced skirts and off-the-shoulder tops.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel we will be seeing this boho spirit on the runways for spring with fringe details on handbags,&#8221; he says. &#8220;It plays hand in hand with the ideas designers are proposing going forward.&#8221;</p>
<p>—A chic, envelope-style clutch tucked under your arm exudes elegance but it&#8217;s largely been a nighttime look — until recently.</p>
<p>&#8220;Instead of being in evening fabrics, like sequins and satin, there&#8217;s a lot of rich leather and the shapes are little bit bigger and suitable for day,&#8221; says Kalachnikoff.</p>
<p>Downing agrees that carrying no-strap clutches during the day is catching on. The bag boasts &#8220;a very ladylike idea,&#8221; he observes.</p>
<p>But, he allows, they&#8217;re not always practical.</p>
<p>Leave a larger tote in the car and pull out the clutch when you&#8217;re ready to make an entrance, Downing recommends, adding: &#8220;There&#8217;s never not a reason for a clutch.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A robber who demanded money from a take away shop has fled the scene with two bags &#8211; of rubbish.</p>
<p>Police said a female worker was carrying the garbage at the rear of the Oonoonba store, near Townsville, when she was threatened by a man about 8.30pm on Sunday.</p>
<p>She handed him the bags and the man, unaware of their contents, took them and ran away.</p>
<p>The attempted robbery of a store in north Queensland has turned out to be a lot of rot.</p>
<p>The man is described as being Aboriginal in appearance, 175cm tall, thin clean shaven face and wearing long trousers and a black pullover jumper.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, police are investigating an armed robbery at Ferny Grove this afternoon.</p>
<p>Around 2.45pm, a man wearing a balaclava entered a McGinn Road store and approached a female worker at the counter.</p>
<p>He produced a long-bladed knife and ordered her to open the cash drawer.</p>
<p>The man leaned over the counter and stole money before fleeing the shop towards nearby bushland.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From 2005 to 2007, Stuart Vevers has been famous for its dazzling rivet and well known tassels.. Mr. Vevers, 36 years old, took over the Spanish leather brand Loewe under LVMH&#8217;s .He put stress on the reform of shaping the practicality of the branding. The said branding has just launched a $1,045 bag which has just performed this point. Mr. Vevers stressed that the package is designed to be used in each season.Not like most of other bags ,they should be changed in every season.Meanwhile he also designed the bag of light weight.</p>
<p>Since 10 years ago, each brand has continually launched &#8220;it bags&#8221;. Chloe, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada and other famous brands would present their new bag in each quater. The economic crisis of 2008 changed this situation. In 2009 worldwide ,bags sales were down of 0.5% amd U.S. sales fell 3.3%.</p>
<p>Loewe brand has a 164-year history whose the main sales are in Spain and East Asi.And it&#8217;s nearly ten years for no retail stores in America . Mr. Vevers was served as the designer of BottegaVeneta brand and also worked for Givenchy.What&#8217;s more, Mulberry brand&#8217;s rise was his credit. And this time he made the program for the Loewe brand on the basis of practical essense.Due to the shortage of advertising funds, Mr. Vevers hopes to make the brand famous with star effect.Great stars such as Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, etc. will have the chance to use the Amazona Bag of 35 years so that they could improve the populatity of the  said brand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people have probably heard of bag ladies, but in San Francisco Thursday it was the bag monsters who took center stage. </p>
<p>The bag monsters were actually about 60 politically minded environmental activists who dressed themselves in costumes made out of plastic bags and marched around Ghiradelli Square and Aquatic Park.</p>
<p>The stunt was to publicize their support for a pending bill in the state Legislature that would ban plastic bags at grocery, convenience and other stores.</p>
<p>When i see this piece of news , I really admire thoes environmental activists.They sacrifice themselves to the event to call for  the public to protect the environment from the respect of  plastic bags.We know that it would take thousands of years to dissolve may it will never dissolve on earth.A lot of people burn the plastic bags.What&#8217;s worse ,it causes the air pollution and it does have harm to people&#8217;s health.</p>
<p>And to the plastic bags  ban problem ,i would give some my ideas to you.The way of paying to the use of plastic bags is not the essential point to solve the problem.because the plastic bags still exists in the world .I think the scientist should try their best to seek the new way of manufacturing the plastic bags.They should avoid the poisonous materials in the use of the raw materils .The plastic bags should be developed into the materials friendly to the environment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Austin, Texas is now considering a ban on plastic shopping bags, making it the latest city to debate paper vs. plastic.<br />
Although cheap for retailers and convenient for the public, environmentalists say plastic bags are a costly burden to taxpayers. But plastic bag makers argue that attempted bans are a misguided effort to control consumer behavior, undercutting an important industry.</p>
<p>In June, Austin&#8217;s Solid Waste Services Department embarked on a 90-day study that will determine the overall cost of plastic bags from the point of manufacturing to the moment they hit the landfill. When the study is complete in September, Austin City Council will determine if the tax dollars devoted to plastic bags outweigh their added convenience.</p>
<p>Austin&#8217;s Democratic mayor, Lee Leffingwell, introduced the idea of this city ordinance against plastic bags in Austin. &#8220;Say you throw your bag into recycling. Once it gets into the recycling machine, it gets stuck in the gears, so it ends up we have to take extra time to pull the bags out,&#8221; said Amy Everhart, policy director for the mayor of Austin. &#8220;That&#8217;s what the study&#8217;s geared towards: figuring out how much it costs to deal with them.&#8221;</p>
<p>San Francisco conducted a similar study that demonstrated plastic bags cost up to 17 cents apiece in tax dollars.</p>
<p>Until the Austin study findings are released, retailers will continue to disperse the bags by the handful, and the resolution will remain in limbo.<br />
&#8220;To earn the green reputation we have [in this] city, we need to take a leadership role,&#8221; said Stacy Guidry, Program Assistant for Texas Campaign for the Environment, a grassroots environmental advocacy organization. &#8220;We&#8217;re not living up to our reputation, and we need to take more action.&#8221;</p>
<p>San Francisco, Washington D.C., and Brownsville, Texas, have already made changes to their plastic bag policies, and Dallas, Portland, Ore., and the entire state of California are currently considering changes.</p>
<p>Grocers in Washington D.C. now charge shoppers a five cent fee for each plastic bag they take home. In the first month alone, the measure decreased the use of plastic bags in D.C. by 84 percent.</p>
<p>With city councils across the country advocating for reusable bags instead of plastic, the plastic bag industry is mounting a strong response.</p>
