| Posted: 15 Aug 2019 03:09 PM PDT CLOSE Nipsey Hussle is featured in DJ Khaled's new song. The rapper revealed the music video was recorded just days before Hussle's death. USA TODAY Lauren London is paying tribute to her "other half," boyfriend Nipsey Hussle, on what would have been his 34th birthday, the first since he was gunned down in March. "Today We celebrate You my beloved," London, 34, wrote on Instagram Thursday. "We should encourage and inspire today because that is how Hussle lived his life." London accompanied her message with a picture of herself mourning Nipsey at a makeshift memorial, in addition to a photo of the couple and a solo image of the rapper. "His Purpose still lives on with us all. Ermias wasn't a sad soul. He was a powerful strong magical soul. Today is the day we lift up… I miss you. I love you," she added. Nipsey, who was born Ermias Asghedom, was shot and killed in front of his Marathon Clothing store in Los Angeles on March 31. London announced Aug. 1 on Instagram that Nipsey's clothing storefront, a place fans frequently stop to play their respects, was temporarily closing. "As a notice to the public, we're putting up a gate on Thursday, August 1st, 2019 to enclose the plaza at 3420 W. Slauson Avenue to start the early development stages of the forthcoming Nipsey Hussle Tower to commemorate and honor the life and legacy of Nipsey," her notice reads. "The Marathon Store will remain closed, but you can shop online at TheMarathonClothing.com."

| Sustainable Fashion Wants You to Ask About the Environmental Impact Of Your Outfit - Vanity Fair Posted: 15 Aug 2019 11:01 AM PDT  Growing up, Wing Yau, founder and designer of WWAKE jewelry, developed a fascination with beautiful natural materials while visiting the South Pacific islands, where she collected shells and opals.

| 36 Hours in Santa Barbara County - The New York Times Posted: 15 Aug 2019 02:01 AM PDT  With its Mission-style facades and showy tropical foliage, Santa Barbara could be a commercial for the California good life. It can be easy to underestimate the struggles of a place so seemingly flawless. But Santa Barbara has had a tough few years. From the devastating wildfires in 2017 and 2018 to the flooding and mudslides that followed, the county has experienced more than its share of trauma. Yet if it weren't for the charred chaparral faintly visible on the surrounding hillsides, the average visitor might never know. This is, after all, a place that's good at reinventing itself. That spirit is on display at the new Hotel Californian, which sits on the site of a grand beach resort that was destroyed — just weeks after opening — by the 1925 earthquake that defined modern Santa Barbara's architecture and character. Smack in the center of Southern California's spectacular coastline, the county is surprisingly rural. In its multigenerational ranches and farms, its remarkably undeveloped public beaches, and the expansive Los Padres National Forest, Santa Barbara County offers glimpses of California before it got crowded. 36 Hours in Santa Barbara CountyFriday1) 3 p.m. Sweet strollStart your visit in the city of Santa Barbara with a cone at Rori's, a decadent ice creamery in the Santa Barbara Public Market, which serves organic ice cream in flavors like Black Pepper Pistachio, Root Beer Float or vegan (coconut milk-based) Tropical Wild Berry. Cones start at $5.50, so take advantage of the kid's happy hour (3 to 5 p.m. daily, when cones are two for the price of one). Then, drive up past the historic Old Mission Santa Barbara, a striking colonial structure representing a tragic history, to the 78-acre Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, established in 1926 and devoted to pre-Columbian native species. Shake off your travels with a walk along the garden's meandering pathways, alive with the sound of bird calls and chirping insects. Find a shady spot beneath a coast live oak or coastal redwood and appreciate the plant life — species like the Russian River Coyote mint and the Canyon Prince giant wild rye — that thrived in the area's temperate climate before the arrival of the Europeans. 2) 5 p.m. Magic HourHead downtown and explore the city's paseos, plazas and parks, including Alameda and Alice Keck Park Memorial Garden, twin parks and gardens that, combined, include a koi pond, exotic trees like Canary Island date palms and Hong Kong orchids, and Kid's World, a community-constructed wooden play structure that overflows with shrieking children. On State Street, Santa Barbara's main drag, stop for Apéritif Hour ($10 Sunshine Spritzes, made with Aperol alternatives like Cocchi Rosa and Cappelletti aperitif wines) at Satellite, an outer space-themed restaurant and wine bar with a menu designed by the chef Emma West of the beloved, now shuttered, Julienne Restaurant. Satellite serves sexy, distinctly California dishes like Rad Toast ($7), the Yoga Pants Salad ($16), and Smoked Shrooms ($16) in a casual, bar-like setting with a mod décor of avocado-colored bench seats, framed newspaper clippings of the moon landing, and film reels of early rocket launches and moon walks projected on the wall. While the food is meat-free and the wines lean "natural," Satellite doesn't take itself too seriously. Then, snag a bike at downtown's Bikes to Go rental station ($10 per hour, $35 per day) in the open-air Paseo Nuevo mall, and cruise downhill to the pier for the ultimate pre-dinner show: a Pacific Coast sunset. Image  3) 8 p.m. Special occasionThe 10-table, largely unadorned dining room at Yoichi's is deceptively modest. It feels like stepping into the home of an extraordinarily gracious host. It makes sense, then, that this kaiseki-style restaurant, which specializes in multicourse meals, is a mom-and-pop establishment. Opened in 2015, the restaurant, named for its chef and co-owner Yoichi Kawabata, serves a seven-course, $125 prix fixe menu that builds on itself — from the zensai (appetizers) to owan (soups), the mukouzuke (chef's choice sashimi) to the yakimono (grilled dish) and mushimono (steamed and simmered dish). Small plates arrive one after the next, featuring complex dishes with clean flavors, including the Jell-O-like water shield and briny snails, pickled plum in bonito broth and egg custard soup with rockfish. By the time you're sipping a complimentary glass of yuzu sake at the end of your meal, the cumulative effect of the experience feels more like a brilliantly executed concept album than mere nourishment. Saturday4) 8 a.m. Burritos and booksGet an early start at Super Cucas, an out-of-the-way Mexican grocery with a meat counter, dried chiles in bulk, and 20 varieties of breakfast burrito — including an Energy Burrito stuffed with the region's signature meat, beef tri-tip, vegetables, scrambled eggs, cheese, potatoes and housemade salsa ($7.99) — starting at 6 a.m. Alongside a Mexican Coke, they're an ideal early morning, pre-surf session, eat-by-the-beach breakfast. Then, head to Chaucer's Books, an independent bookstore so charming it warranted a love letter (in essay form) from the writer Pico Iyer. Pick up a beach read, a book on local history, or let the kids loose in the store's children's corner, which feels like a literary wonderland for little people. 5) 10 a.m. Go Go GaviotaDrive north along a stretch of Highway 101 that includes two of California's most stunning state park beaches, Refugio and Gaviota. For a mellow morning paddle along this spectacular, white sand and palm-tree-adorned coastline, schedule a kayak tour ($119 per person, lunch included) — at least a week in advance is recommended — with Santa Barbara Adventure Company. After a quick beginners-friendly tutorial, float over forests of kelp, the fastest-growing plant on the planet, while learning about Pacific marine ecology and watching for seals, dolphins and brown pelicans. Or, if you're up for an arduous but rewarding hike, take the Gaviota Hot Springs-Trespass Trail ($2 parking fee), which climbs over 1,000 feet through wildflowers and blooming agave plants for a dazzling view. Or, skip the hike and head for the "hot springs" — lukewarm, crystal clear, sulphuric-smelling and shaded by a single palm. 6) 2 p.m. Wind into wine countryCut inland across a landscape of giant boulders, chaparral and ranchland until you reach Buellton, a town that was, until recently, most famous for a nearly century-old road food institution, Pea Soup Andersen's restaurant. In the last two decades, the Santa Ynez Valley's wine-growing reputation has begun drawing not only wine enthusiasts, but the restaurants to feed them. For a lunch of oysters topped with fresh uni ($8), white shrimp with pancetta, chile and garlic ($13), beef tongue pastrami Reuben ($16), smoked pheasant with basil and citrus ($14), and exotic wood-fired pizzas (think skirt steak, tomatillo and queso fresco, $15), stop into Industrial Eats, which is named for its location in an industrial park surrounded by breweries, wineries and distilleries. 7) 3:30 p.m. Wine country, itselfPence Vineyards and Winery, on Route 246, is a working cattle ranch that grows Burgundian varietals, mostly pinots and Chardonnays, on a creatively landscaped vineyard with a pond, trails and an appointment-only tasting room. If you're not a drinker, or traveling with children, head instead to Solvang's Ostrichland ($5 admission), where you can buy a pan of bird feed ($1) for the farm's 100 or so ostriches and emus. The gift shop sells the bird's oversize eggs. Then, hop over to Los Olivos, an impossibly cute town that overflows with tourists on weekends, and stop into Story of Soil, a tasting room manned by the husband of the winemaker, Jessica Gasca, who focuses on single vineyard, single varietal wines, including a standout Gamay, that have a cult following. 8) 6 p.m. Dine OutsideDrive down Route 154 from Los Olivos, past Cachuma Lake, to Cold Spring Tavern. This former creekside stagecoach stop at the top of the San Marcos Pass has been a staple of California road trip culture since 1865, before the automobile was invented. A wooden shack draped in ivy and filled with Old Western charm and tchotchkes, from taxidermy to wagon wheel chandeliers, serves the region's famed tri-tip grilled over red oak and has live music in its backyard, where picnic tables offer extra seating. Or, for a more cosmopolitan dining experience in the city of Santa Barbara, sit beneath the strung lights on Loquita's side patio, where quintessentially Spanish dishes like pan con tomate (pan de cristal — a ciabatta-like Spanish bread — with grated tomato, garlic and herbs, $9) and pulpo (Spanish-style octopus with black garlic aioli, lemon vinaigrette, potato purée and pickled red onion, $22) mix with the gauzy atmosphere in ways both intoxicating and magical. The restaurant, which is one of the restaurateur Sherry Villanueva's many hits (including popular local spots like Helena Avenue Bakery, The Lark and Tyger Tyger) also offers a drink list heavy on Spanish wines, sherries, vermouths and gin and tonics. Don't miss the Loquita Martini with an El Bulli olive ($15). More on traveling in California 9) 7 p.m. History theaterBuilt in 1930, on the site of the once-grand Arlington Hotel, the Arlington Theater in the city of Santa Barbara was built in the era's characteristic Mission Revival style. A former movie theater that still sometimes hosts films and festivals, the 2,000-seat Arlington features a Robert Morton pipe organ that rises onto the stage during musical performances. While the Arlington's interior is painted to create the illusion of a Spanish night, its stage flanked with illustrated villas and stars overhead, the Santa Barbara Bowl sits on a hillside dotted with Southern California mansions. A venue with an ocean view, the Bowl was funded by the Works Project Administration and carved into a former quarry in the 1930s. Designed to accommodate the Arabian horses that are a staple of the annual Fiesta celebration, the venue now hosts a mix of big name acts — from the Raconteurs to Lionel Richie — and other performances and events, like the Santa Barbara Mariachi Festival, from spring into the fall. Sunday10) 9 a.m. Surf's upCarpinteria's Esau's Cafe is an old school breakfast diner with bright orange vinyl booths, housemade muffins cooling on the ledge of an open kitchen, hot sauce containers crowding the diner counter, and — because this is California — surf posters on the wall. A nearly 90-year-old institution, Esau's serves heaping platters of diner classics along with some California-centric riffs, like the roasted Pasillo chile relleno omelet ($13.95) and the so-called "Basic Breakfast" with a mahi-mahi steak and eggs ($11.95) in place of the more conventional beef steak. After breakfast, head up the coast and across the train tracks to join the locals at Padaro Beach — or, as it's known here, Santa Claus Beach. 11) 1:30 p.m. Made in Santa BarbaraThe Funk Zone's Seaside Makers Collective opened last year in response to the economic toll the city's recent hardship was taking on the area's artists and artisans. The shop's handmade crafts, jewelry and body products — including a skin-care line made from the byproducts of the local wine grape industry, and jewelry made from local sea glass and abalone shells — are great gifts and souvenirs, evoking Santa Barbara's personality while supporting its craftspeople. Around the corner, The Blue Door is a multistory emporium of vintage and antique housewares, furniture, clothes and more. Along with its eclectic used goods, the shop also carries some Santa Barbara-made products, like a line of beach-inspired candles from Santa Barbara Apothecary Company, in scents like San Isidro Lavender, Surfer's Point, Ellwood Eucalyptus, and, amusingly, Montecito Money. LodgingWith a look designed to reflect California surf culture nostalgia, Kimpton Goodland (5650 Calle Real, Goleta) has yoga mats and turntables in every room (starting around $250), an on-site record shop, bikes to borrow and a courtyard pool. Part of Shelter Social Club, a small local chain of vintage motels that have been stylishly rehabbed, Agave Inn (3222 State Street, Santa Barbara) is a basic, budget-friendly option with a bit of character and 13 rooms starting at $139. For affordable, family-friendly accommodations near the beach, look for Airbnb rentals in the Mesa neighborhoods — East, West and Alta — which have gorgeous views, attractive historic homes, and are close to the Douglas Family Preserve and Hendry's Beach, and not far from downtown. Prices for an entire cottage or guesthouse start in the mid $100s. 52 PLACES AND MUCH, MUCH MORE Follow our 52 Places traveler, Sebastian Modak, on Instagram as he travels the world, and discover more Travel coverage by following us on Twitter and Facebook.

| Posted: 15 Aug 2019 06:18 AM PDT  Nick Dixon died while undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery on Jan. 11. SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Nick Dixon's knee surgery was scheduled to be over by lunchtime, but the 18-year-old couldn't wait to share the good news with his mother. A standout football player with multiple Division II college scholarship offers, Dixon had quietly committed to play at Wingate University the night before. "Okay, we'll talk about it later," Terri Littlejohn told her son on the way to Ambulatory Surgery Center of Spartanburg on Jan. 11. He had torn his meniscus and ACL in his left knee less than a month earlier, and Dixon was anxious to get the outpatient procedure over with as soon as possible. The recovery can take up to nine months, and with Dixon's college decision made, he didn't want to be sidelined the upcoming season. Around 7 a.m., Littlejohn prayed with Dixon for a successful surgery. "I kissed him on the forehead and said, 'I love you and I'll see you when you come out,' " she recalled recently. Between 8:15 and 8:30 a.m., within 45 minutes of Dixon entering the operating room, he started to exhibit symptoms of malignant hyperthermia, a condition passed down through families that triggers a fast rise in body temperature and severe muscle contractions in response to certain drugs used as part of general anesthesia. At 11:19 a.m., around the time Dixon's surgery was originally scheduled to end, he was moved to Spartanburg Medical Center. Littlejohn was ushered from the waiting room to see him, still unaware that anything had gone wrong. At that point, he was in cardiac arrest. "The last thing I remember is I reached out to him," Littlejohn said. "Something just came over me. I think I knew then that my baby was gone. They said I passed out." Dixon was pronounced dead four hours later. He would have been on Wingate's campus by now, practicing with his new teammates in preparation for the season opener against Johnson C. Smith on Sept. 5. Instead, his family is left replaying the events of Jan. 11 in painstaking detail, and asking how one of the most common sports surgeries — there are approximately 100,000 ACL reconstructions per year in the United States — turned tragic. Death during an ACL reconstruction is so rare that Timothy Hewett, director of the Orthopedic Biomechanics Laboratory at the Mayo Clinic, said such instances aren't even tracked. "There are probably less than a handful of cases … ever," he said in a text message. [As ACL tears pile up, doctors and coaches worry that kids are playing too much basketball] Dixon's family knew him as a homebody, occasionally suckering Littlejohn into letting him stay home from school on the days she had off from work so they could clean the car together and shop for groceries. He was the family "clown," Littlejohn said, and even as he was being prepped for his knee surgery that Friday morning, Dixon was making his mother laugh in the waiting room with texts about having to get his leg shaved. He loved playing video games and texting his longtime girlfriend all hours of the night. The couple had planned to attend Wingate together. Littlejohn said she has always hated football — even the Super Bowl — but she asked for every Friday night off this past year so she could go to Dixon's games. That's how she realized how good her boy really was, reveling in hearing others in the stands yell for the coach to put him in at linebacker or defensive end or running back. At 6 feet and 245 pounds, Dixon was appreciatively called "Big Nick" or "Beast" or "Freight Train." "I'd be like, 'Yeah, 'Freight Train' is mine," Littlejohn said. Littlejohn urged her son against playing basketball because she worried he would get injured, but he suffered the knee injury in the second half of South Carolina's premier high school football all-star game, the Shrine Bowl. During practices earlier that week, Dixon's stepfather, Tim Littlejohn, had remarked that, "Those are some big jokers" he'd be playing against. Dixon agreed, adding, "I'll hit them, though. I ain't scared of them." "No, you ain't ever been scared of nothing," Tim responded. Tim had rearranged his work schedule on Jan. 11 to be home by noon so he could help tend to Dixon after his surgery. He instead met Terri at Spartanburg Medical Center, where a large contingent from Spartanburg High had also gathered. A basketball game for that night was canceled at the news of Dixon's death. The Littlejohns are suing the attending nurse anesthetist and anesthesiologist, in addition to the medical group they both work for, Anesthesiology Consultants of the Upstate, and the Ambulatory Surgery Center of Spartanburg, for the alleged medical negligence and wrongful death of Dixon. Representation for each party declined to comment because it's an active matter. According to an affidavit provided by Dixon family attorney Blake Smith, Robert Sikorski, the medical director of Trauma Anesthesiology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, reviewed Dixon's medical records and determined that "to a reasonable degree of certainty, Nicholas Dixon died as a direct result of gross negligent care." Malignant hyperthermia occurs in 1 in 5,000 to 50,000 instances in which people are given anesthetic gases. It's hard to know exactly how common it is, because many people with an increased risk of the condition are never exposed to the drugs that trigger a reaction. Treatment involves Dantrolene, medication that remedies the extreme muscle tightness and cramping associated with malignant hyperthermia. Sikorski stated in his affidavit that the physicians were delayed in recognizing Dixon's malignant hyperthermia and subsequently failed "to rapidly administer" Dantrolene as well as repeat it "in an ongoing manner" and "to administer the proper repeat dosage" according to the Malignant Hyperthermia Protocol. "We just hope this raises awareness because we don't want this to happen to anyone else," Terri said. [The Kyler Effect: Heisman winner's success inspires athletes to play two sports in college] Dixon was buried in his white Spartanburg High football jersey, and his jersey number, 7, has been retired by the Vikings. He'd worn No. 38 his first three years on the team, and though Tim and Terri tried to talk him out of switching — college recruiters already knew him as No. 38, they argued — Dixon insisted. It represented the seven children of the household, and it was supposed to be lucky. "A lot of stuff we found out afterward," Terri said. "We didn't know that he was reading Bible scriptures with friends, and a lot of his friends have sent me text messages where he was motivating them — younger kids and his teammates. They were like brothers and it's like Nick was, I guess, the leader. … I didn't know he was doing that stuff." The family visited Dixon's grave on Valentine's Day, and Terri purchased a red heart balloon for each person to hold at the cemetery. She double-checked that she brought all of them with her, so she was surprised when one was mysteriously floating in her bedroom later that day. It's still there and hasn't gone flat yet, and every time it bobs from one end of the room to another, the Littlejohns see it as Dixon's way of communicating with them. Timothy said he often talks to it when he's getting ready for work in the morning. Dixon shared a bedroom with his 11-year-old brother Shane, and in the month after Dixon's death, Shane couldn't sleep in there. He eventually asked Terri to cover one wall with photos of Dixon, so it would feel like he was looking over Shane. He wants to play football, too, at the same positions as Dixon. "I'm scared for him to play but I know he loves it," Terri said. "I won't miss a game and I'll be there for him and I just pray. We're going to get Shane some knee pads and some cushion and some extra armor to keep them knees and stuff together. "You're nervous and you think about it, but you got to let him live."

We do not want or need these gigantic hotels and function facilities to be constructed on our beautiful waterfront. We need your help! If you love this city as much as I do, please get involved. A petition of Harbour Realty, LLC., (applicant) for a special-use permit are issuing a petition with the Office of Zoning & Inspections, City Hall, Newport RI, have applied for a special use permit and a variance. This applicant is looking to construct a 150-room transient guest facilities, with no allowance allowed for use of public right of way.

If you want to be part of our fight in saving the Harbor View and access to the waterfront for the public, please attend the meeting. Please be there before 6:30 as it will get crowded. This is an opportunity for all interested parties to be heard. Collette Bernard, Newport Proposed park causing issues beyond traffic snarls Writing after the Newport City Council meeting on August 14th and the newest dumb move by the entire group: Reacting to the Stop & Shop truck getting stuck at Touro and Spring, they have decided not to allow large trucks or buses north of Memorial Boulevard. This has never been a problem in Newport until they decided they wanted a new park built with the closing of Court House Street. To accomplish this they must ban these vehicles. By doing this they are telling the moving and storage company off Old Beach Road to close up shop because the trucks are no longer allowed, and the Hotel Viking not to book tour buses for stays at the hotel. They are also banning other tour companies, who we reach out to, to stay away as they can no longer show their guests Touro Synagogue, the Jewish Cemetery, the men's Reading Room, Redwood Library or the Old Stone Mill as they are all on this new anti-route. All of this is being done by the entire council with no one caring what the majority of taxpayers have been saying. We do not matter, so they take a piece of prime property off the tax rolls (sold for over $900,000) and get a park with a plaque with their names on it and make a smooth intersection a nightmare. I never expected the veteran members of the council to sell out like they are on this project, while residents of Annadale Road have been screaming about the same vehicles for years with the same restrictions in place and no results. We will do it again. Why? Because those with deep pockets want a park. Remember we lost revenue when Newport Grand left and this council is set to remove a property worth over $1 million from the commercial tax rolls for a park few Newporters want. And remember the maintenance of it adds to the expense. While most are looking at liquor licenses, the council is sliding this along hoping we will miss it. Call your reps and tell them that the park is not needed and leave what has been working for 100 years or more alone. Jack Milburn, Newport Middletown park is being maintained methodically As a member of the Middletown Tree Commission and someone who has been very involved with the park, I would like to respond to the understandable concerns expressed in a letter to the editor about maintenance practices in the park. The park was mowed twice this spring and will be mowed again this season. In the meantime, there is no danger to the trees that have been planted. Although the town does have a tight maintenance schedule during the summer months, there are other factors involved in timing. The DEM does have oversight of the park and requires limited mowing. They also do not want people leaving the trails and reduced mowing helps to discourage that activity. Our desire is to also have the park as environmentally responsible as possible. Mowing periodically during the season is detrimental to ground nesting birds such as bobolinks and meadowlarks and other wildlife. Monarch butterflies, which are declining, are almost totally dependent upon milkweed which exists throughout the park. Wide swaths of grass are being regularly mowed along the borders of the paths so no tall grass encroaches on the walks and ticks can be kept to a reasonable minimum. Unfortunately, when a public asset is being scrutinized by so many people it is not possible to satisfy everyone, but we are trying to make the right choices. Alan Kirby, Middletown  |
