text: Unrivaled Cooling. Extreme Performance. ROG GX700 is the world's first liquid-cooled gaming laptop. It is designed to give you a gaming laptop with the overclocking potential to go toe-to-toe with extreme gaming desktops. GX700 features Windows 10 Home, an overclockable Intel® Mobile K-SKU processor, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX™ 980 graphics, and DDR4 RAM to give you desktop-like power at home, and ultra-performance on-the-go. World's 1st Liquid-Cooled Gaming Laptop – Enjoy the Best of Both Worlds ROG GX700 is the world's first gaming laptop with a detachable liquid-cooling module for extreme overclocking. With the liquid-cooling dock attached, you can overclock GX700 to gaming desktop-like levels of performance. On its own, it packs quite a punch, and easily outperforms other gaming laptops on the market. It even fits snugly in your backpack, so you can dominate LAN parties too. ROG-Exclusive Hydro Overclocking System The ROG-exclusive Hydro Overclocking System gives ROG GX700 superior overclocking performance so you can dominate the battlefield. The cooling module pumps coolant into the GX700, where it is circulated around heat-generating components. The coolant then heads back to the cooling module, where two radiators help to dissipate heat. An ROG-patented connection between the cooling module and GX700 ensures that the coolant flows smoothly between the two without leaking*. The Hydro Overclocking System helps GX700 cope with the heat generated by the overclocked GeForce GTX980 GPU. You can fully unleash the monstrous potential of GX700 for 20% more performance and exceptional stability. On its own, GX700's dual thermal design can still release the heat generated by the GPU, so you still have beast-mode levels of performance! *Disclaimer: Residual coolant maybe be found on the connector tips after disconnecting the ROG Hydro Overclocking System from GX700 Specially-Formulated High Performance Coolant The specially-formulated coolant provides corrosion protection for all internal components and materials, including aluminum, iron, steel, and copper alloys. The very low depletion rate of the organic-acid inhibitor removes the need for supplementary cavitation erosion protection additives, and reduces the maintenance downtime normally required for regular inhibitor tests and additive top-ups to maintain inhibitor concentration. The Hydro Overclocking System helps decrease CPU and GPU temperatures by 31% and 33% respectively. Overclocking to Extremes The Hydro Overclocking System lets you overclock ROG GX700 to new heights. The 3D Mark 11 test scores for ROG GX700's NVDIA GeForce GTX 980 graphics card jumps 43% from 14000 to 20000! The overclockable Intel® Mobile K-SKU processor can receive a performance increase of up to 48%, with a BClock boost of around 10%, pushing clock frequencies from 100MHz to 110MHz. In addition, the DDR4 RAM can be boosted by up to 31% from 2133MHz to 2800MHz to give GX700 incredible desktop-grade gaming performance. Real 4K UHD Gaming Worlds ROG GX700 is the first 17-inch gaming laptop that immerses you in real 4K UHD gaming environments. The Hydro Overclocking System gives GX700 better all-round stability and performance so you can enjoy the latest games the way they're meant to be played — in 4K UHD. *Disclaimer: This offer may vary by different period, countries, models and specs. Please check with your supplier for exact offers. This offer may not be available in all markets. No tearing Reduce Stutter Less Lag 4K UHD Gaming laptop with G-SYNC™ GX700 features a 4K UHD panel and NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ technology to immerse you in smooth, free-flowing 4K gaming worlds. G-SYNC™ synchronizes the display's refresh rate to the GPU to give you visuals with no lag, tearing or stuttering, and it does this all without affecting system performance! Anti-ghosting keyboard with 30-key rollover GX700 features anti-ghosting with 30-key rollover technology so up to 30 keystrokes can be instantaneously and correctly logged, even when you hit several of them at once. Each key is ergonomically-designed to ensure solid and responsive keystrokes when typing or entering commands – making it easy for you to dominate the battlefield. And with a new Record key and more macro keys at your disposal, everything you need is at your fingertips. +20% Performance Test +30% Active Power Saving Powerful gaming laptop with up to 64GB DDR4 RAM ROG GX700 has four DDR4 slots to support up to 64GB DDR4 RAM. 2133MHz DDR4 RAM gives you up to 20% more performance and 30% more energy efficiency over 1600MHz DDR3 RAM. When paired with the Hydro Overclocking System, and overclocked, GX700 gets a boost of up to 2800MHz. Faster Data Access with NVMe PCIe and Default RAID 0 GX700 features RAID and the latest NVM Express™ (NVMe) and PCI Express® technologies for superfast data access speeds so in-game visuals are smoothly rendered instantly. Blisteringly-fast data speeds, together with the exceptional cooling performance brought about by the Hydro Overclocking System, let you fully exploit GX700's full gaming potential. ESS Sabre Headphone DAC and Amplifier ROG GX700 features an ESS Sabre headphone DAC and amplifier to give you a sample rate that is eight times greater than CD-quality audio. The ESS Sabre headphone DAC improves sound quality; giving you a high dynamic range (DNR) and less noise for rich 384Hz/32bit sound output. In-game audio sounds richer, with greater detail and less distortion, even when you're using a headset. In addition, the ESS amplifier adds bass and enhances audio for even clearer, detailed sound. Sound detail boost integrated headphone amplifier Besides ESS Sabre headphone DAC, GX700 is also with ESS amplifier, which allows to create better bass sound output, and enhances the sound quality to be more clear and detailed. Gaming Center for Overclocking The ROG Gaming Center features Turbo Gear for amazing overclocking. It gives you four different overclocking mode – Standard, Optimized, Extreme, and Manual. Extreme mode lets you overclock GX700 with just one click for hassle-free access to extreme performance for 4K UHD gaming. You also have the option to overclock manually, so you can unlock your own personal achievements! XSplit Gamecaster ROG GX700 gives you lifetime access to XSplit Gamecaster. This allows you to easily stream or record gameplay via a convenient, in-game overlay. All you need is a single keystroke to make in-game annotations to highlight what's happening onscreen. You can also interact with friends and fans by broadcasting on Twitch. Sonic Studio II & Sonic Radar II ASUS Sonic Studio and Sonic Radar give ROG GX700 truly immersive gaming audio. Sonic Studio provides high quality gaming audio, as well as improved streaming and audio recording for perfect voice pickup and noise reduction. Sonic Radar helps you detect opponents through an on-screen overlay that shows the relative position of gunshots, footsteps and other in-game sound effects.

(Pocket-lint) - If there is one thing that Mobile World Congress is teaching us, it's that companies believe there is a strong appetite for large phones, big enough that they are getting confused with tablets in some cases.
Case in point is the ZTE Grand Memo, a phone-come-tablet device that packs a 5.7-inch display and a 3200 mAh battery that makes even the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 look manageable.
At 5.7-inches, the 1280 x 720 display offers you a pixel density of 258ppi, so this isn't going to be the sharpest take on Android you'll find out there, and in the flesh it's okay, but nothing spectacular. We still prefer the Xperia Z and the HTC One's screen quality, even if they are smaller.
The ZTE Grand Memo comes with all the usual connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and WiFi Direct, DLNA, and WiFi Display. There is also LTE support too.
Under the skin you'll find that the Grand Memo is powered either by the Snapdragon S4 with a 1.7Ghz processor or by the new Snapdragon 800 and will be one of the first devices to be so on the market. It comes with 1GB RAM and 16GB of storage. It runs Android Jelly Bean.
ZTE has applied a User Interface skin over the top of Android and that gives you a rather cute looking cube-like motif that runs through the software. That's even more apparent when you cycle through the app pages, and the phone is nippy enough not to let this animation get in the way.
Around the back you get a 13.1 megapixel camera. The camera''s performance was okay, but nothing to really write home about, although in fairness the lighting on the ZTE stand at Mobile World Congress was harsh and not very forgiving.
The ZTE Grand Memo is all about inches, so there's plenty of display on which to view your content. It's still a slender device - measuring 159.9 x 82.6 x 8.5mm, but just because it's thin don't think that it will slip into your pocket.
Screen quality's and spec aside the Memo is a whopper, that is likely really to appeal to only a select few who want a small tablet, but with phone capabilities.
If it looks a little too big, we would recommend checking out the Xperia Z, the HTC One, or even waiting for the gamble that will be the Samsung Galaxy S4.
The ZTE Grand Memo will come to China in March, with European markets following later in 2013.

Mission group identifies 3rd American with Ebola
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- The president of a missionary group says a third American sickened with the Ebola virus decided to return to Liberia after the other two people became ill.
SIM President Bruce Johnson said at a news conference Wednesday that Dr. Rick Sacra returned to Liberia about a month ago after another SIM doctor and a missionary became ill with Ebola. Both survived after treatment at Emory University in Atlanta.
Johnson says the 51-year-old Sacra lives in the Boston area. He says Sacra wasn't caring for Ebola patients but was delivering babies in the SIM hospital's obstetrics unit.
He says it's not known whether Sacra will return to the U.S. for treatment.
The missionary who survived Ebola, Nancy Writebol, said at the news conference that she believes an experimental drug, her medical care and her faith helped save her.

Christmas Home Tour at the Plate Addicts!
You may have already seen some of our home since I have shown you the mantel, filled with many of my recent projects…
…and the dining room, all set for Christmas eve dinner!
So today I would like to show you some other parts of our home. This vignette greets you as you enter the door. I added little silver balls this year to tie in with my silvery theme and used some favorite silverplate pieces…a porringer and a wine caddy…as candleholders. I am serving corks in a little silver bonbon dish, much like the one I used in the dining room!
On the little pony wall, the fork candle from last year's Christmas decor has gotten a shimmering new ribbon and is accompanied by a silver plate topped with a red bow and berries. I love this candle and change the bow with the seasons!
A second tree is found on the drop leaf table behind one of the love seats. This one is new this year…decorated with silver, blue and white! The bowl is filled with glittery fruit that I found at Dollar Tree…for 50 cents each! Beautiful and inexpensive!
Here's a closer look at the decorations on my tree…flatware, napkin rings and salt and pepper shakers! The cute kitty and little plate came from my friend Kathysue at Good Life of Design and the demitasse spoons are from Sarah at Hyacinths for the Soul!
And as a tree topper…this little urn-shaped salt shaker!
On the coffee table in front of the fireplace…my santos cage doll, holding a glittery ornament…
…and on my favorite grape-design Goodwill silverplate tray…a wreath dotted with silver balls and a red velvet bow surrounding a three wick candle! And do you see…just beyond on the media cabinet…
…a little vignette with some of my favorite things! The lamp was my mother's and decorated our home at Christmas when I was little. And if you have been following my blog for very long, you know I can't resist a mouse wearing clothes! lol Yes, I know…weird, but true! This one reminds me of Ratty in The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame…my favorite childhood book! I gave him a jaunty Christmas scarf! And don't miss the La Neige ("snow" in French) hoop ornament…a sweet gift from a dear friend who had it sent all the way from France!
A few more old favorites are on the painted table on the opposite wall…an ornament that was a gift from my mom, featuring little mice decorating their tree. It is sitting on some old books, GW finds a while back, under a little cloche…as a tiny wooden Santa and his reindeer stop by!
A tiny forest of glittery trees is on another old book…a Paris bookstall treasure…perched on the demi-lune table near the fire. That's Kitty looking on and enjoying a warm spot!
And here's my third tree…sporting snowflakes and berries, along with a flock of little birds.
Most of them are cardinals…my favorite!
Another cardinal is nesting on the skirt, made of remnants of a wonderful French script fabric that I used to cover a stool and make a pillow…love it! This tree is on the little drop leaf table behind the opposite love seat. I decided that I would rather have three small trees than one big one.
And there you have it…our Christmas home tour! The staff here at Plate Addict and I would like to thank you for dropping by! We hope you enjoyed your tour…
…and that you'll sit by the fire for a little while and have some homemade Christmas cookies and Russian tea! We would also like to take this opportunity to wish you a very merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season! May this special time be filled with peace, joy and love for you and your family!

Hi Debbie. I've so enjoyed my tour of your beautiful home! You sure can decorate. Love your little trees and how you've decorated them. The tiny little one with the blue and white teeny dishes is so darling! Love seeing how the kittys help you! ;)ReplyDelete

Debbie, Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home at my party. All of your decorations are so pretty and I especially love the tree with the salt shaker on top and the Santos is the prettiest one I have ever seen. Everything is stunning.ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Debbie, your home looks warm and inviting. Each detail is full of charm. Wish I could actually spend time in these rooms. Love your little trees. We have several small trees here too. Don't have room for a large tree so we spread the decorations about on smaller trees. I like it! The little tree with the silver and blue and white is a precious idea.ReplyDelete
Happy Holidays to you and the family! Stay warm and cozy. ~ Sarah
A winter wonderland to take ones breath away! Gorgeous! So unique too..and I am finding so many different things that I have never seen before out here in blogland.ReplyDelete
That precious little tree in the silver and blue...:) so pretty and sweet. And most of all different.
It looks like you are ready and waiting.
I enjoyed my tour VERY much~! But..then...I always do enjoy myself when I drop in to see what you are up to.
Debbie, I love your home and you always have everything decorated so beautifully. So pretty, warm and inviting. You make it all look so special. I love your trees, and the way they are decorated is stunning. Love the little tree with the china and silverware. How cute is that. You also did a great job with your cloche, so see, you can do it. Love you and wish you the most Blessed Christmas ever. Hugs, MartyReplyDelete
Oh my. Everything looks gorgeous...just like out of a magazine! Great job! SusanReplyDelete
Your home is beautifully decorated! Thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete
Everything looks so beautiful! I love the way you decorated your mantel! I hope you have a blessed Christmas!!!!ReplyDelete
soooooo beautiful!ReplyDelete
I almost don't know where to start!! Every single inch of your beautiful home speaks of your special style & warmth, Debbie.ReplyDelete
The tiny little tree with the blue and white dishes & silver pieces is so very creative as are all the unique touches you add....the corks, the sprig at the top of a silver plate on a display stand, the candy cane tucked into a ribbon. Its the way your mind works that amazes & inspires me so much. I have a bowl of corks but didn't think to decorate them. I have candy canes out but didn't think to tuck one into my biscuit barrel's nob, & I have oodles of plate display stands but never even considered putting something other than a plate in one. Duh?? I lack your creative genius & greatly appreciate you sharing with us.
Many many Christmas Blessings!
Stunning Debbie...I think us Brits could learn a thing or two from our cousins across the pond re Christmas decorating. Everything is so elegant...love it...have yourself a lovely Christmastime. Teresa xReplyDelete
A lovely room, spruced up for Christmas. It is wonderful.ReplyDelete
Just gorgeous! I love everything! Merry Christmas!ReplyDelete

Very cozy & welcoming. Great details too.ReplyDelete
So beautiful...I especially like the snowflake, berrie and bird tree. Merry Christmas!! ~MarleeReplyDelete
Everything looks just beautiful Debbie! Each of your trees is more special than the last! I hope you don't mind if I steal your idea for next year? I think the three small trees would be perfect idea for me too! I wouldn't have to dread the decorating the tree experience so much. And I could have different themes for my crazy collections *winks*ReplyDelete
I love that photo from Kitty's perspective! How'd you do that? She must have been very engrossed indeed to hold still long enough....Or you're a super fast shooter! Also love your Mr Ratty! I also loved the wind in the willows and he could've stepped right out of the book.
Stop by and see me if you get a chance. I did a post on something french......*winks* Vanna
Your home is so elegant it should be in the pages of a decorating magazine! Love your trees, especially the one with the utensils. Love the mice decorating their tree. Oh, and of course the cardinals!ReplyDelete

I've just found the TANGUAY dictionnaire généalogique des familles canadiennes online. This will certainly be of great help to many of you researchers, who don't own the dictionary nor that of JETTÉ. It lists the founders of NEW FRANCE (QUÉBEC) and their descendants for the period of 1608-1760.
Please note the following abbreviations that you will find in this French dictionary:
n = naissance = BIRTH
b = baptême = BAPTISM
m = mariage = MARRIAGE
d = décès = DEATH
s = sépulture = BURIAL

Christopher Mazepink, winemaker and general manager at Archery Summit, isn't the least bit fazed by Pinot Noir. Perhaps that's because he went straight from graduate school at Oregon State University to making it. Instead of being intimidated by the famously persnickety grape, he's excited by the challenges crafting topnotch Pinot Noir presents.
Mazepink quickly fell in love with the varietal. He especially relishes the winemaking process, the grapes' diversity at different sites and Pinot Noir's distinctive character. Pinot Noir has, he says, "more personality than any other grape…. It will never be formulaic…. You'll never see the same vintage twice."
Oregon's Pinot Noirs are considered by many to offer the best of California and the best of Burgundy. Mazepink thinks that "people are chasing the Oregon style" for this reason. The wines combine the ripe fruit flavors of California Pinots with the minerality, freshness of fruit, and savory, spicy character of Burgundy wines. They're generally good both when young and when aged five to eight years.
Much is done at Archery Summit as it is in Burgundy. Its caves are modeled after the subterranean cellars of the famed Côte d'Or. Mazepink uses Old World techniques–including wooden tanks, native yeasts and large percentages of whole clusters–as well as Pinot-centric technological innovations to craft his Pinot Noirs. He's been known to occasionally stomp the grapes with his feet. (Some of the best Ports are still made this way.)
At Archery Summit, Mazepink makes six to eight Pinot Noirs each year. The grapes are grown in the AVAs (American Viticultural Areas) that he considers to be the Willamette Valley's finest. "I firmly believe that the best wines in Oregon," he says, "are made from the Dundee Hills and Ribbon Ridge AVAs," where the winery's six estate vineyards are located.
Archery Summit's wines often receive high ratings. The Wine Spectator recently rated four of its 2011 vineyard-designated wines (Archer's Edge, Archery Summit, Arcus and Renegade Ridge) 90 or above. Mazepink, who started at Archery Summit in 2013, is used to receiving similar scores from Robert M. Parker's Wine Advocate and other publications as well.
Mazepink thinks like you might. "I'm a consumer first," he says. "Our wines are made to go with a wide range of food." And that, says this food-and-wine lover, is just how it should be.
Premier Cuvée Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2012 (SRP $54*): This wine is a blend of grapes from six vineyard estates in the Dundee Hills and Ribbon Ridge AVAs. Whereas its single vineyard wines are about the place, Archery Summit's blends are about the style and the vintage, and the 2012 vintage was stellar. Aromas and flavors of blackberries and other dark fruits. A touch of cinnamon and star anise spice. Lush and layered. Sustainably farmed.
Vireton Pinot Gris Willamette Valley 2012 (SRP $24): One of Mazepink's mandates at Archery Summit is to raise the profile of its Pinot Gris, and this is the first nationally distributed white wine from the winery. It offers fresh fruit, fresh acidity and fresh minerality. Aromas and flavors of apple, lemon, lime, white peach and tropical fruit. Flinty minerality. Lively. Notable textural richness and residual flavor.
*Wines can usually be found for less–sometimes considerably less–than the SRP (suggested retail price). Check out wine-searcher.com to get an idea of actual prices.

The British public lose mobile phones worth £342 million each year... by accidentally flushing them down the toilet. Yes, apparently of the 4.5 million handsets that we Britons lose every year, 885,000 of them are flushed down the bog.
The research was carried out by SimplySwitch.com , and if the results are to be believed, 1.5 per cent of us flush our phones by accident every year.
On top of that, we lose 810,000 phones in pubs, 315,000 in the back of taxis and 225,000 of them on the bus, every year. Technology-hungry canine pets chewed their way through 58,500 handsets, and 116,000 phones were drowned in the washing machine.
The research also found that over 25 per cent of us have lost or broken our phones, men being more prolific phone-losers than women.
Phone-losing nation
"Because most people now rely on their mobile to stay in touch, it's a good idea to keep a copy of your phone numbers on a computer or spare sim card," said Karen Darby from SimplySwitch.com.
"As phones continue to shrink in size, they also become easier to lose, so people need to take extra care."

Giant trash bin sent on way from space station
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The International Space Station has one less capsule and a lot less trash.
A commercial cargo ship ended its five-week visit Tuesday morning. NASA astronaut Michael Hopkins used the space station's big robot arm to release the capsule, called Cygnus.
Cygnus is filled with garbage and will burn up when it plunges through the atmosphere Wednesday.
Orbital Sciences Corp. launched the capsule last month from Virginia under a $1.9 billion contract with NASA. The Cygnus delivered 3,000 pounds of goods, including belated Christmas gifts for the six-man crew and hundreds of ants for a student experiment.
The ants are still aboard the space station. They'll return to Earth aboard another company's supply ship, the SpaceX Dragon.
NASA is paying Orbital Sciences and SpaceX to keep the space station stocked.

Saying Goodbye
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment, iheartslFeed, new releases on Thursday, February 28, 2013
This is my last post from LEA20. Tomorrow is clean up day. The sims will begin to empty awaiting others who will create, learn and grow. It has been a wonderful six months and I will be sad to say goodbye. I spent most of the day taking down the builds in the sky. With fifty or so sets, it was not a click and go affair. Tomorrow the builds on the ground will be packed up. I have a few scenes to film before I leave. There are plans in the works and though they are nebulous at this moment, I intend to remember my last day in film.
There is plenty of GOOD news though. The Machinima Open Studio Project will be moving in totality and permanently to LEA7. So those of you who have visited in the past can keep MOSP in your "photo op" folder. You will need a new landmark of course and a new hud.
While some things will remain the same, others will change. Some builds are past their prime and will be dismantled, others are getting a facelift and of course there will be new things to come. The new locale will have a machinima gallery with curated exhibits. There will be a classroom area too. I will be a busy gal for a few weeks. Much to do.
Thanks to those of you that stopped by, took some photos and enjoyed the sim. Extra points if you filmed *wink* and no demerits at all if you simply came to explore.
The newness in this post is another great necklace from EMO-tions. Just my style, this Eterna set comes in three color palettes - spring, summer, fall. Available Saturday.

One of my last posts from MOSP; you see empty hills. I've started taking things down and will work on more of that tomorrow. Friday is deadline day. The good news is that parts of MOSP (I know not yet which or how much) will be moving over to LEA7 and there may be some newness there also. I'm not being secretive; I just don't know too much at this point *wink*.
My minimalist landscape post feature poses from aDORKable available in the gatcha machines at the Arcade which opens in 1 day 8 hours 7 minutes and 10 seconds as I type this. The set is entitled "Shopping Spree" and the poses come with tintable (well we WANT to be coordinated, don't we?) shopping bags and the rare #10 shown in the lead photo comes complete with mesh cell phone.
All the poses are cute and as you can see work well in a more everyday theme, no shopping bags.
My outfit is mostly new and all from PARADISIS. The Birdy skirt with legging options is available in several colors. Very perky. I added an older semi-sheer tank to the mix. My boots are form GOS (well I bet you knew that).
Also in the news are some new Zoe releases by Tuli. This is the petal tone and one of the makeups from the Elementary Pack. There is also a Sultry Pack which I have yet to unwrap. Things to do; builds to pack up; all that jazz.
My gift earrings are older and from Maxi Gossamer. Hair also older by Dura.

New Beginnings
Posted by Chic Aeon in freebies, iheartslFeed, skins on Tuesday, February 26, 2013
Free*Style has new digs and lots of vendors for you to peruse. Opening on Wednesday 9am SLT (the 27th), you can shop till you drop. Items are priced between $0 and $50; gatcha machines are on the second floor.
Here are your two landmarks for when things are open.
There were lots of vendors saved and waiting to be filled when I ventured over around noon on Tuesday. Poses and clothes and some housewares were all in evidence.
Here are my two picks in the "yes, really free" category *wink*. A very nice skin from Adore&Abhor and some pearls (many color choices) from lassitude & ennui.

Back in Time
Posted by Chic Aeon in freebies, iheartslFeed on Monday, February 25, 2013
And a fun time was had by all.
A friend of mine, amazingly older than I, has returned to Second Life after a fairly long hiatus. Needless to say her wardrobe and look needed some revamping. She did a little looking today, at places she remembered. Shoes and hair were the biggest needs and she didn't find what she was looking for. With $225 lindens in her bank account, pennies were at a premium but along the way she saw a sign advertising The Free Dove.
Now if you are really really OLD, you remember Free Dove. Way before my time folks were shopping there for free. The entry notecard says seven years -- that is ancient in SL time. She mentioned her memories and I was up for an adventure. It had been decades since I visited (well relative decades anyway). I challenged her to make a totally Free Dove outfit -- and she did very very well.
The place hasn't changed much. Lag was still in evidence even though there weren't that many folks. There were some items from 2006 (they had dates) and some that were passed their prime when I popped out of the pod. Amongst those however there were some really really nice things. Here are her picks.
skin: .::BeautyCode::. Skin Nelly - Green Smokey
shoes: Baby Monkey Classic Pump - Black
eyes: Eye Candi Eyes - Nature - Frog
makeup: Eye Candi - Natalie Lipstick Tattoo

Hard to Believe
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment, iheartslFeed on Sunday, February 24, 2013
I am taking the day off.
No, that's not the hard to believe part. I DO rest now and then.
I am going to recommend another blog. While I can't remember doing that in almost 3000 posts it may have happened, but it is certainly unusual.
It's been difficult to keep up with things lately. Lots of my favorite feeds have disappeared. Some of the blogs that I have enjoyed for years are gone. Things ARE things happening out there in virtualland, but if you aren't a networker (and I am SO not), finding out all you need to know can be difficult.
If you feel you've been missing out on things -- sales, events and the like; check out Sium by Elysium Hynes who has apparently discovered Pinterest and is loving it. Its easy to navigate and simple to see what's going on -- all in one spot.
No, I'm not moving or changing "the blog", but I might be getting some tips from Elysium *wink*.

Memories in Pink
Posted by Chic Aeon in hair, iheartslFeed, new releases, skins on Wednesday, February 20, 2013
I am a shorttimer here at LEA20. I am thrilled that so many people have come and visited and indeed are still visiting as the traffic is still quite high. But all good things ---- and all that jazz.
One of my favorite sets at MOSP is the designer office, so I wanted to preserve the memory and this post is it.
In the fashion news portion of this post we have two items debuting at My Attic on the 21st. The Zoe Pop skin from Tuli comes in three tones with this being "powder", the darkest. Cleavage options and a lip tattoo (shown) are included. New additions -- at least I think they are new, come in the form of nail concealer gloves. So nice to have!
Also for My Attic is MINA Hair's Spice. Now I am not usually a big fan of colored hair but these are really fun, in cotton candy colors that remind me Spring is indeed on its way.
My outfit is a not so new release from PARADISIS, Love Academy.
Thanks to all the designers who made this room possible. Whether purchased or review copies, all things are definitely loved.

Feeling a little uptight? We all get that way from time to time. Happily CIRCA has a new exercise mat complete with lots of great yoga moves as well as some tummy and buttocks tightening exercises. We all need those, even virtually.
The Serenity Spa set comes with lots of details including an aroma vaporizer, water bottle and towels. The rock candles from CIRCA coordinate nicely and add a warm glow to your workout.
Choose your calming or calorie burning animation from a big selection.
My very feminine workout gear hales form SLC. The Mesh Country Top comes in a variety of patterns and colors. Happily this choice left me artfully color coordinated. The denim shorts are also a new release; one of several color choices.
Headbands are of importance when movement is involved and the new KATIUSHA hair from eXxEsS keeps you stylish while you embrace the quiet of midnight.

Still Romantic
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, sneak peak on Monday, February 18, 2013
That hearts, flowers and candy holiday has gone -- but there is always room for romance.
Out for Zodiac (Feb 19th to March 15th) the Naiad sundress from lassitude & ennui; this very pretty, lacy and feminine dress comes in a big variety of Springtime colors.
One of the best parts for me is the bow tie which of course goes extremely well with some of my favorite lassitude & ennui sandals. Standard sizes and a fatpack choice, these will be available at the main shop after the event.
Also in the news, a cute couples or singles bench from Cheeky Pea. It comes in rosy tones too. And Trompe Loeil has some framed prints out (six in all) as a group gift.

One More Time - JOMO
Posted by Chic Aeon in freebies, iheartslFeed, skins on Saturday, February 16, 2013
A real life friend who is also in SL was asking me the other day about skins. To her it seemed that all the skin places had the same prices -- same with dance animations. Did I know of a good skin place that was cheaper?
Honestly I did not. In the past I have pretty much waited for a good gift skin and then switched when I found one I liked better than what I was wearing. Nowadays I have a drawer full of skins, some specialty and some everyday and I pick among them. I honestly can't remember buying a skin over $10. I suggested that she hit the weekly and monthly sales venues and watch for special deals from the designers she likes.
Another friend brought the subject up today. I had the same answer. But that was a nudge for me and I did some perusing of the marketplace with not so spectacular results. There are plenty of skin lucky boards around but none that have worked for me. And then I remembered that there were skins on lucky boards at JOMO (see the last couple of post for complete info on that shop). The skins, both mens and womens looked impressive in the shop, so I sent Lani over to stand and watch for an "L" :D.
It didn't take to long and while she was waiting she garnered some other goodies from the boards. There are two women's skins (one younger than this) and two for men. All have eye tattoos on one side, not visible obviously depending on your hair style. These are extremely nice and Lani has never looked so good.
Lani's outfit is the valentine gift from Prim and Pixel mentioned a few days ago. The whole look fits her perfectly!
So posting for her, the real life friends and you.

A quick post to tell you of some free goodness. The really stunning Tibetan necklace is from one of the JOMO lucky boards that I told you about in the previous post. There is a size for the fellows in the pack also.
This really nice curly updo hair is free on the Marketplace from Alli&Ali. GRAB IT QUICKLY as the special end very soon.
Pose by: Vista Animations
All Roads Lead to JOMO
I made several stops on the long list of Lucky Boards, some lead to places for rent, others I couldn't find the board but bookmarked as I really liked the area. Some of course were not my style. Then ---- drumroll please --- I found JOMO. When I landed in the courtyard I immediately hit my landmark button. Photo ops abound. Everything is completely "top shelf".
Not only is there a huge area of lucky boards, there is also a very large freebie area with some really nice things. My traditional outfit complete with shoes and hat-hair comes in five colors. Happily I eventually won the gold one which was my favorite. There are skins, jewelry, modern attire, stuff for the fellows and home and garden items. These are group boards and while I seldom join groups to get things, I didn't hesitate an instant -- I was so impressed.
Many of the items on the boards are right off the floor. I found this outfit for sale in all five colors in the clothing building. It moves beautifully and is of course mesh.
This pavillion was another of the prizes; the musical instrument with animation and sound also. You can purchase the very impressive buildings if you have a large plot. Exploring could take awhile so I will be visiting again soon.
So call up a couple of friends like I did, hang out for awhile and chat. The boards are all short term so they turn over quickly and in not too long you will probably have your favorites.
And by all means explore.
I will be switching gears again soon and will hopefully be doing more adventurous posts. One of the things I love about Second Life is there is so much to see. My journey of the other day reminded me.

The Linden Endowment for the Arts AIR program is coming to a close, for this round anyway. New folks will be taking over in three weeks and all that has been built will be gone. I will be sad to leave MOSP. It wasn't "art", but it supported creativity. I had a wonderful time building it and there have been many thousands of visitors. Hopefully they will remember.
I have been deep in Blenderville the last few months. New skills are welcome but they do take time and commitment. I am feeling more at home with mesh now and it opens many possible creative doors. There is a new artist challenge from the University of Western Australia as well as a machinma contest. I have been lax in those areas but I can hear the siren's call.
Partly for filming and partly for me, I will be exploring the other LEA sims these next couple of weeks, filming raw footage for possible inclusion in a film that I have been thinking about for a long while. Along the way I ventured over to LEA27 - DangerInEvolution by Kicca Igaly & Nessuno Myoo. There are various places to visit and I have only begun, but I am mightily impressed. There is a story here. I changed my Windlight setting to those chosen by the creators -- one only available in Firestorm. It is mysterious and monochromatic -- fitting for my new outfit from Blue Blood, Beatrix.
Beatrix comes in the traditional Blue Blood colors. I (no surprise) chose plain black. The detailing is lovely and appliers are supplied for gals who want that enhanced look. I have to laugh here. Chatting with Chandra a couple of weeks ago she mentioned "when you get appliers". To that I answered, "NEVER". We can be anything we want to be in our virtual world. The fact that I am FLAT was not an accident *wink*. Happily this new outfit works very well for us normal and less than gals.
Also, I have a story to tell and it will be chronicled in the not too distant future. In the meantime, know that you can win these very fancy (there is another hand just as complex) nails and rings at FORMANAILS on the lucky board. I tped in to find a C there; lucky gal.
More on my adventures soon.

Global Domination - Passports
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment, hunts, iheartslFeed, places on Friday, February 8, 2013
Lots of things are on my mind this morning as I head back to Marketplace MigrationLand. Yep, an op ed piece is in the works.
In case you missed the announcement yesterday (and I did), there is a new game within the game and goodies to be had. I had to smile and some of you oldsters will join along; marketing models begin, get popular and then multiply. We see it all the time in our mini-planet called Second Life. So it isn't surprising that there is a new kid on the block in adventure game hunting.
Global Domination-Passports features some top designers, many of whom are featured on the blog. The fairly steep price for the HUD is offset a bit with the incentive gifts from the vendors selling the HUDs, a creative and welcome bonus. I have no idea how the vendor portion of the game works, but hopefully those making the sure to be great prizes get a chunk of the upfront dinero. All good.
The downside for me and most likely others is that this isn't really a paid hunt like some of the $10 and $20 versions we see out there. It is a commitment of time (the informational notecard that arrives by clicking on the hud vendors hints at a very, VERY long time -- making the other popular adventure hunt look like child's play). So it wont be working for me as much as I would like to partake.
For those of you WITH time to spare and in search of adventure, check out the latest offering. I wish the organizers and merchants well on this endeavor. As I have said before, finding a good hunt these days is difficult. We need alternatives.
See last night's post for fashion details.

Shadow Patterns

My login spot was recharging when I entered in this morning so I headed over to my shop plot. Lights, graphics effects and Windlight had me in experimental mode. This was my favorite photo.
New at the Mens Department, alphabet letters in two styles from Cheeky Pea. Make your mark, write a poem -- whatever. Most of us have something to say. The letters come with cast shadows should you be using them on a shelf or flat surface.
They are patterned on both sides so look good coming and going. And while they have a pretty antique pattern on the faces, they are mod so if you are more of a shabby chic person, you can repattern and tint to your liking.
Also new at MENS are necklaces and rings from KOSH. They come sized in both male and female versions and have both chest and spine attachment points should you need them.
Lots of details combine to make these a winner.

Well Jack or Jill is going strong. I did a bit of hunting the other eve and there are some nice things to be had. My favorite of the bunch is this super cute denim and satin mini from SWITCH number #50 (the last of the gal's stops) on th JOJ Hunt. Add this dress to the great boots I showed you the other day, and SWITCH is definitely on MY radar :D.
FAMESHED has a new round going which I suspect you know. Amidst the goodness are some other country Wanderer bookshelves from Cheeky Pea. New countries include Canada, Japan, UK and Ireland. The US was of course release awhile ago.

It's been almost a month and I am STILL really loving this Newport house from Trompe Loeil. Pick it up at COLLABOR88 for a few more days.
And to go WITH the Newport house, more goodies in shades of gray in the form of the Gramercy Bedroom Suite. Color change options and a list of animations that never seems to quit are perks with the bed. Both Adult and PG versions are available.
I have a lot of favorites here. The gray of course works well for me -- lover of all things neutral.
I am particularly fond of the framed signs which are both minimalist and cosmopolitan, a couple of things I strive to be. I am mightily impressed with the fan which has gorgeous detailing and weigh in at 2 land impact.
The lamps come in both floor and table versions, rusty (shown here) and polished. The drawers all open and the steamer trunk happily pops its top for ya. You could store sweaters or linens in it if you are really big on authenticity :D.
Find everything a FAMESHED which seems to be having a really great round this month. Other color palettes are of course available. Go forth and pick your favorite!

I've made no secret of my affection for Andre Berto, perhaps now you know why. The 24 year-old welterweight put the boxing world on notice, announcing his presence in the upper tier of the sport's best division. Berto earned the vacant WBC belt with a dazzling knockout performance against an admittedly mediocre Miki Rodriguez.
Berto dominated without having to throw punches in volume thanks to his unbelievable athleticism. He avoided trouble with blazing speed while putting his punches together whenever an opportunity arose. The best example of which was the sixth round that Berto ended with an unprecedented five hook combination, surely the first I've seen.
Rodriguez went down for the first time in the seventh after Berto threw an overhand right followed up by his favorite punch, the right uppercut. The pairing of the two punches elicited shock from observers and the victim alike. The new title holder sealed his victory with another knockdown followed by a wise stoppage. Berto is by no means Floyd Mayweather, but he certainly looks worthy of his belt.
• Chazz Witherspoon is always referred to as a "cerebral boxer" because he took up the sport as a hobby while on academic scholarship at St. Joseph's, so even he must know that he was a beaten fighter. Chris Arreola, the undefeated knockout artist, put Witherspoon on the canvas twice in the third round with powerful looping shots, including once at the very end of the round. From there things got confusing. Witherspoon's corner entered the ring before the referee could signal the continuation of the fight after the standing eight count. Although he was officially disqualified, Witherspoon was basically out on his feet.
As for the referee...good lord. The second I saw Randy Phillips in the introductions I knew we were in trouble. He came off poorly during the disqualification decision, and much much worse in the post-fight interview. As Flubby put it, "I think they just grabbed some yokel in the stands at the dog track in West Memphis, Arkansas." Yep, and that's coming from a Kentuckian. Oh, and next time could we get somebody who is physically capable of getting in between two heavyweights for a break?
• Amir Khan added another knockout to his growing resume, although he tasted the canvas in the process. The undefeated 21 year-old has certainly looked better, but his career is progressing as well as expected.

I'm continuing my series of blogs about Beethoven, in anticipation of the Symphony's Beethoven Festival in January/February 2012.
For most of his life, Beethoven didn't know how old he was! This was because his father tried to take advantage of him as a child, and he passed Ludwig off as one and one-half years younger at his first concerts. Mozart's success at a young age inspired Beethoven's father to lie to get more attention.
He was born in Bonn, Germany in 1770. He was named after his grandfather, who played the double bass. Beethoven made his debut as a pianist in Cologne at age 7 and one-half. But Dad introduced him as a six-year old. Later in life, when Beethoven saw his baptism certificate, he assumed it was for an older brother who died as an infant. Beethoven's family included seven children, but only three survived childhood. He was the oldest surviving child.
Beethoven studied with the best teachers of his time, including Haydn and Mozart. He published his first composition at age 12. His first pieces were for the keyboard. By 16, he had a reputation in Bonn and his harpsichord improvisations were much respected. He went to Vienna at 17 where Mozart said of him, "watch out for that boy. One day he will give the world something to talk about."

STERLING — — A Sterling man who Colorado State Patrol officers arrested in December after he was pulled over in a stolen car took a plea and was sentenced to five years in prison Tuesday.
Ernesto Baray, 31, had a trial vacated after he pleaded guilty to attempting to influence a public servant, which is a felony, and misdemeanor obstruction of a peace officer.
According to court records, CSP officers stopped Baray early Dec. 5 after they caught him speeding on Highway 14 just west of Sterling. He then lied about his identity to officers and fled on foot once they found the 2006 Chevy he was driving was reported stolen.
CSP and Sterling police officers later arrested him in an RV at Sterling RV Center.
Deputy District Attorney Rebecca Wiard said Baray was on parole for a 2009 case out of Greeley and was already in violation when officers pulled him over.
She argued that because that case and this one were separate, plus officers found drugs in the car, the 1 1/2 years left on his parole sentence should have been added to the five-year stipulated sentence.
But he'd be essentially receiving 6 1/2 years for giving a fake name, said Public Defender Tom Ward, who represented Baray.
He added the court had received evidence that proved Baray had no knowledge the car was stolen, and that Baray panicked and gave officers a fake name when he was pulled over.
District Judge Charles Hobbs said five years was appropriate given the facts of the crime and Baray's history, which includes seven prior felony convictions, according to court records.
Baray also received three years of mandatory parole and 90 days of credit for time served.

Motorcycle Superstore slides into Pomona with the AMA Pro Flat Track J&P Cycles Pro Singles Title up for grabs
Courtesy of Motorcycle-Superstore.com:
Maguire, Wells and current ProSingles champion Stephen Vanderkuur share title hopes at final round of series this Saturday night
MEDFORD, OR (October 7. 2013) - It all comes down to Saturday night, October 12, at the Pomona Fairplex in Southern California - the J&P Cycles Pro Singles championship is up for grabs and fortunately for Motorcycle-Superstore.com, the top three riders in that class are all part of our Rider Support Program.
Wyatt Maguire is the current points leader in the class with Ryan Wells only 5 points back in second. 2012 champion Stephen VanderKuur is 20 points behind Maguire in third but mathematically still in the hunt.
"We have a tough race in front of us this weekend," explained VanderKuur, the current ProSingles champion. "We'll also need a few chip to fall our way, but we are going to Pomona with hopes of holding onto the championship. I love a fast cushion and great competition, so I'll be hanging it all out come Saturday night."
Here are some of the scenarios on how this points race might develop: 23 points are awarded to the main event winner, 19 points for 2nd, 16 for third, 15 for fourth, 14 for fifth, etc. A rider is also awarded a point for leading the most laps. VanderKuur is mathematically eligible to win the championship, he would need to win and lead the most laps and Maguire would need to DNF or finish in 16th or worse. That would put the points at 126 VanderKuur/125 Maguire.
For Wells to win the title, he'd have to win and lead most laps while Maguire would have to come in third or worse. He'd have 141 points versus Maguire's 138. No matter how the chips may fall, both Wells and Maguire have their sights set on the championship.
"Going into the final round only 5 points out of the lead is pretty crazy to me, because in my opinion it is basically going to be who beats who at the final round and that is the way I like to race. In my eyes, I have a great chance to win this championship and I don't intend on doing anything less than that. I'm sure not going too let 5 points make me think it is impossible," remarked Wells.
Although he has been leading the points race, it hasn't been easy for Maguire as he has raced most the year with a broken leg. By Santa Rosa, his leg was almost healed but another crash meant another fractured bone in the same leg - and a slight concussion. At press time Maguire says he will be ready to race on Saturday night.
"Right now I am feeling good going into the last race of the year. I am recovering well from the get-off at Santa Rosa, and just trying to stay positive. My leg looks to have a small break but we can tough that out and finish off the season strong. I came home with a third last year at Pomona and I would like to win the race this year and get the championship. With the Kirkland Racing and Pro-1 Racing Heads' bikes, I don't see why we couldn't pull it off. My head's in a great place and I am feeling good going into next weekend. A big confidence booster for me is that Pomona is my favorite track of all time, and I would love to finish this season off with a win."
There is one more possible scenario - and we would never count out Shayna Texter. In order for Texter to win the championship, she'd have to win the main event and lead the most laps while Maguire would DNF, Wells would finish in 14th or worse and VanderKuur would have to finish 9th or worse. If all of these pieces fall into place, she would win the championship in the case of a tie because the tiebreaker is determined by the rider who has won the most main events through the season. Texter takes it with 2 wins.

Fiji, Samoa and Tonga will enjoy the best preparation yet for a World Cup after the November Tests were announced by the International Rugby Board.
With some compelling matches, November will see Tier Two teams clash with some of the top sides in world rugby ahead of next year's RWC.
Fiji, who open Rugby World Cup 2015 against host country England, will benefit from a demanding schedule as they face 2015 pool opponents Wales in Cardiff on November 15, just one week after they play France in Paris.
Their Pacific neighbours Samoa will also get their chance to face Tier One Union opposition when they travel to Twickenham to play RWC 2015 hosts England on November 22 having faced Italy in the opening weekend of the window.
Tonga will play Scotland on November 22 while Georgia, who will host two fixtures at home, get to face Six Nations champions Ireland in Dublin on November 16.
Another highlight of the November calendar will be the visit of New Zealand to Chicago where they will play the United States on Saturday, November 1, in the Windy City.
Tier Two Internationals will also be played in France's north west this November. Building on the success of hosting the IRB Junior World Championship 2013, Stade de la Rabine in Vannes will play host to Samoa as they take on Canada on November 13, while USA will play Fiji at the same venue on November 20.
"This year's November internationals will give crucial preparation opportunities to all RWC 2015 participating nations as the tournament rapidly approaches," said IRB Head of Competition and Performance Mark Egan.
"Part of the IRB's strategy is to provide quality Test competition on a regular basis for Tier Two nations in order to boost the competitiveness of the Game, and there is no doubt that the forthcoming November internationals, coupled with our portfolio of strategic investment competitions in June, will help achieve that.
"In 2014, Tier Two countries will play 13 Test matches against Tier One opposition. We were very pleased to see Fiji, Samoa and Japan secure victories against Tier One opponents Italy in June and both Canada and USA put in very competitive performances against Scotland. There is increasing evidence that the competitiveness gap is narrowing and Rugby fans can look forward to some exciting fixtures in the November Test window.
"We are also committed to ensuring that the highest ranked Tier Two Unions have an opportunity to play each other in the November window and Georgia and Romania in particular, will benefit yet again from hosting and exciting programme of test matches in Tbilisi and Bucharest, respectively."
The Tier Two programme is being financed and supported by the IRB, which invests more than £10 million each year in high-performance programmes and competitions for Tier Two countries.

Old Still now in HQ kstewartfans
IFC Films and Sundance Selects to handle US Distribution.
Variety EXCLUSIVE: AMC Networks has acquired all U.S. distribution rights to ON THE ROAD, to be released jointly by the company's film distribution labels IFC Films and Sundance Selects sometime this fall. Walter Salles' adaptation of the Beat Generation tome by Jack Kerouac will world premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, which begins next week.
Deal was said to be in the low seven figures. Multiple people who have seen the film agreed that it contains awards-caliber performances and cinematography, but add that its two-hours-plus length and nebulous narrative will make it a challenge to market to mainstream auds.
But ON THE ROAD will unspool with more than one built-in fanbase; fans of Kerouac's stream-of-consciousness road trip tale, written in 1951 and published in 1957, will be eager to check out its first-ever bigscreen adaptation.
And another factor at the box office will be fervent TWILIGHT devotees, who have been constantly buzzing about her role as Mary Lou since the project was announced two years ago almost to the day. Other cast includes TRON: LEGACY star Garrett Hedlund as Dean Moriarty; Kirsten Dunst as Camille; and Sam Riley as Kerouac's alter ego, Sal Paradise. Amy Adams, Elisabeth Moss and Viggo Mortensen co-star. -@Variety_JLD/Josh L. Dickey.
AMC Networks has acquired all U.S. distribution rights to ON THE ROAD, to be released jointly by the company's film distribution labels IFC Films and Sundance Selects sometime this fall. Sundance Selects/IFC Films plans a traditional theatrical roll-out, and will handle all downstream platforms.
"We are over the moon ecstatic to be involved with this incredible film," Sundance Selects/IFC Films prexy Jonathan Sehring told Variety. The pickup is "a statement not only to our entire organization's love of the project, but to the number of different innovative ways we are going to make sure the film reaches as wide an audience as possible." via kstewartnews
THR"Walter Salles has made an ambitious and accomplished film out of Jack Kerouac's iconic novel. It's a classic road movie with career-making performances from Garrett Hedlund and Sam Riley, and a terrific showcase for Kristen Stewart and Kirsten Dunst," Josh Sapan, CEO and president of AMC Networks, said. "This is a major step forward for us, and we plan to work across AMC Networks in putting all our resources together to make this theatrical release into a significant cultural event," Jonathan Sehring, president of Sundance Selects/IFC Films, added.
'On the Road' Australian Premiere at the Sydney Film Festival

Thanks for the best choice. I'd love to see more Vests
I actually returned themail as just not me!
Too bulky and heavy material. Length was excellent though.
Eyecatching and dresses up an outfit. A bit wide on sides, will need to take it in somewhat. Recommend wearing it draped open. Happy with length.
I returned the item, I thought it made me look like a burly animal, not flattering at all. Maybe a thinner person would look better in it.
Loving this gilet! I purchased this in the sale so happy with the price not sure I would have paid full price. Nice to wear very comfortable. I have been looking for a gilet for a while and other shops just don't have the fit or length.
The fur is very soft. The vest is nice and long and has concealed pockets. It keeps me warm, has a lovely lining and is well made.
I agree with previous review that this vest is quite boxy in shape but that's how it's meant to look. The model in the photos wears the vest loose and I don't think it's meant to be fitted. Love the pattern and texture of this fun vest. I plan to wear it with a long sleeved black top and plain black pants so the vest is the statement piece. Looks better open (like the photos) rather than done up so you can go down a smaller size or two. Bought it at 20% off, too much otherwise.
I've been admiring the fake fur vest trend and was so excited when LTS introduced this. Tried it on today, so disappointed. Firstly it is too big, order a size down. I'm a 16 and even the 14 was roomy. Secondly and crucially - it is shapeless. Just a big rectangle, not tapered to the waist at all. Nice length but that's all. I felt like a giant animal in in! So unflattering on, yet the colour and print are fun and lovely. Obviously didn't buy it.
