This is my current obsession.
Do you ever have those projects you just can't get out of your head? I've been day-dreaming about working on this project every day now; whittling away the hours at work until I can rush home and work on it again.
It started as three little stars I made because I wanted to sit down and "just sew something" in an afternoon – sit down and sew something from start to finish, just for the joy of getting it done and having something to show for it at the end of the day. Don't get me wrong – I do love a good slow-burn project! I'm doing the year-long Woodland Sampler cross stitch, I have not one but TWO Dear Janes I'm hand-piecing, and I'm also hand-piecing two Marcelle Medallion quilts! But sometimes you just want a satisfying 'quick finish'. (Speaking of Dear Jane – the big star block is part of a block from that quilt. I love the D.J. book – it's become my go-to resource for traditional block styles so I think even if you're not going to attempt the whole quilt, it's a great book to have just as a block resource!)
Each day I've been adding little bit by little bit to this quilted panel. Some days more than others, depending on how long I can steal away into my craft room. I've been sewing this quilt-as-you-go style following Oh Fransson's tutorial (find it here) and it's so addictive! For someone who plans things down to the last detail (I mean plans EVERYthing – I even glued down swatches of actual fabric in block order on a paper miniature quilt layout for both Dear Jane quilts just so I could be sure I liked the fabric choices for each block and how they worked together across the whole quilt…), doing this improv "bit here, bit there, slap it on and sew it down" style is quite freeing!
I think I'm going to turn this into a little zippered pouch to hold my Woodland Sampler cross stitch. I'll be working on that each month of 2013 and I think it deserves something a little better than being carted around in a plastic bag!
Does anybody else spend longer working on a project pouch than they do on the actual project itself?!

In the biggest ever aviation deal in India, Jet Airways has clinched a deal to take over Air Sahara for over 500 million dollars.
A formal announcement of the agreement is to be made today, making the amalgamation the biggest airline in the country.
In its communication jet informed that "The board of directors of the company has considered and approved the acquisition by the company of 100 per cent of the fully paid up equity share capital of Air Sahara."
This would mean the acquisition of 27 aircraft fleet for about Rs 2,450 crore, a price significantly lower than the valuation of upto one billion dollar that Air Sahara had done through Ernst and Young.

There's a Bedbug at the SJT
Ivan Varlet is making a class change. As he prepares to marry his bourgeois bride, the former mechanic casts off his socialist acquaintances and re-invents himself as 'Ivor Violet'.Before he can embark on his new life, however, a fire at the wedding kills all the guests, and sees Ivan trapped in the ice cellar, frozen into a state of cryogenesis.
Fifty years later, after the creation of a global socialist state following a world war, Ivan is unfrozen into an unrecognisable Russia. What will become of this embarrassing reminder of the country's past?
A satire on the distrust of authority and the threat of the independent voice to the socialist system, Vladimir Mayakovsky's 1929 original was written at a time of growing disillusion with the Soviet Union. Bedbug, adapted by Snoo Wilson, was commissioned by the National Theatre as one of six new plays, adaptations or translations for the first BT National Connections in 1995, a collection of contemporary plays for young people.
Bedbug is part of the SJT's annual ReachOut festival (15 February to 13 March), and is being performed by the 15+ Rounders as part of Connections 500, the NT's 21st Connections festival.
The cast includes: Vicky Adams, Jessica Butcher, Alex Dixon, Matthew Haddington, Estella Harrowing, Libby Hickson, Alfie Howle, Diana Ionita, Josie Larven, Hannah Laws, Holly Louth, Archie Pheby McGarvey, Eden McKewan, Georgia Mason, Dan Quilter, India Robertson, Isy Watson, Jacob Watson, Jemima Whyte and Alfie Woodhead.
Bedbug is directed by Cheryl Govan and features music and additional lyrics by Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt.
It can be seen in the Round at the SJT on Friday 19 February at 7.30pm, and on Saturday 20 February at 2.30pm and 7.30pm. Tickets are £6.50, and the production is recommended for those aged 12 and over.
Run by the theatre's OutReach department, the ReachOut festival gets features a lively and compelling four-week programme of events for all ages, including the latest from NT Connections, community collaborations, play readings, a talent show, concert and workshops.
The SJT OutReach department works with, in and for the local community, encouraging people to engage with the work of the SJT through projects, courses, classes and work experience.

Some Advantages of learing Spanish
What's your reason for learning a foreign language? Certainly moving to a different country and learning the local language will help you settle in faster with the community. Learning 'their' language will show your commitment to your new country and its people. Learning a foreign language like Spanish is going to be enormously useful to you if you travel a lot. It will also look good on your CV as it allows you to conduct business with people in their own language. The advantages of learning Spanish is that it is so widely spoken – in fact in 21 countries – that you will almost always find a way to use it!
It's Spreading throughout the World
It is mind-boggling to know that there are as many as 41 million native Spanish speakers in the United States and that another 11.6 million are bilingual, that is, speak both English as well as Spanish. Of all the foreign languages to learn to speak, why make it Spanish? The Index of Human Development has put Spanish as the 2nd most important language on earth. English first, Spanish second and Mandarin third. Also, did you know that Spanish is the 3rd most widely used language on the Internet and the 2nd most used language on Twitter?
Learn Spanish – its in Your Best Interests
It seems like knowing Spanish will mean that not many people will be able to talk about you without you knowing what they're saying. Learning a language like Spanish is certainly going to make your life richer . Imagine dining with Spanish clients over a delicious Paella with chilled dry rosé, being able to speak their language and perhaps clinching a business deal after an hour or two. Perhaps you just like the sound of Spanish being spoken. If you don't want to learn Spanish in a classroom setting, don't let that deter you. Learn conversational Spanish through online audio lessons – you'll become just that much more approachable.

In the world of musicians I'd like to see in concert, but just haven't made the time when they came through the Chicago area, Brad Paisley is one of those guys. I love a great guitarist, I love a guy who writes great songs, and I like seeing country girls at concerts. Brad Paisley has them all, and so does his latest live concert DVD/CD combo, "Life Amplified World Tour: Live at WVU."
Filmed at, well, West Virginia University, in front of 15,000 folks, Brad Paisley does what he does best, entertain. It's a DVD/CD filled with performances of his greatest hits, as well as a great rendition of the John Denver classic "Take Me Home Country Roads," sort of the West Virginia anthem.

Sacramento is the sweet spot of the state, linking the Bay Area to the scenic foothills of the Sierra Nevada. But Sacramento's not just the capital of the nation's most creative and tech savvy state, it's home to scores of theatres, galleries, and museums, world-class hospitals, a professional basketball and soccer franchise as well as a minor league baseball team. It's anchored by the capitol building, which is surrounded by distinctive neighborhoods exuding small-town charm with upbeat urban creativity.
The county is not without its fair share of natural beauty and recreation. The American River flows from the mountains, winding through the city, inviting guests to bask on its shores, run along its trails, and swim and boat in the summer months. The city itself was named one of the top ten urban forests in the nation, boasting decades-old elm, oak and ash trees canopying over picturesque streets and parks and keeping communities cool in the warmer months. Parks are plentiful and the region's roots in the Wild West and Gold Rush eras are evident around nearly every corner.
Reaching out from the city, Sacramento County encompasses rich agricultural land, wetlands, and sprawling suburbs booming with commerce. Lake Tahoe, Napa, and San Francisco are all are less than a two-hour drive, giving residents quick and easy access to world-class skiing, wineries, and beaches, as well San Francisco and the Silicon Valley. Prime for business, healthy living, and creative inspiration, Sacramento is the gateway to everything that makes California amazing.

Teen Auto Insurance
Commonly Asked Questions About Teen Auto Insurance
Q. Why is insurance so expensive for teenage drivers?
A. The cost of auto insurance varies from one group of drivers to another because some groups have worse driving records, higher accident rates and more costly accidents than others. The highest insurance rates are paid by male drivers under the age of 25. Teenagers have higher insurance rates due to their lack of experience in operating a motor vehicles.
Q. Can I be added to my parents' auto insurance?
A. If you drive a family car, you can be added to your parents' policy. However, the cost of the policy will increase. (Some companies insure young drivers only on a family policy.) If you have your own car, your parents' company may sell you a separate policy, but at a different rate than your parents.
Q. Do I have to be a certain age to buy my own insurance?
A. No. However, you must have a valid driver's license and own a vehicle. In many states, you must be 18 before you can own a vehicle without an adult's name on the auto registration.
Q. Will my rates go up or will I lose my insurance if I get into an accident or get a ticket?
A. If you are not at fault in an accident, your insurance should not be affected. If you are at fault, get a ticket for a serious violation (i.e. drunk driving), or are involved in an accident that racks up expensive property damage (i.e. crashing into a tree), your rates may increase at the time of renewing your policy because you will be categorized into another higher risk group of people who have recently been in an accident. You can no longer be placed into the accident-free group that you were in before the accident.
Q. If I loan a car to a friend who has an accident, is he or she covered by my insurance?
A. Under most circumstances, someone using your car with your permission is covered by your insurance. If the person borrows your car with your permission and is involved in an accident, your insurance will pay just as if you were the driver. However, in some states, some insurers may limit the coverage.
Q. Should I report all accidents to my insurance company?
A. Yes. You should report all accidents even if you do not end up filing a claim. If you don't report these incidents, you run the risk of being sued by the other people involved and your insurance company will be at a disadvantage in defending you.
Q. Car Insurance for Teenagers
A. So you've got your new driver's license and, as you're probably aware, it's illegal to hit the streets without auto insurance. You probably also know that insurance rates are based on how likely you are statistically to get into a crash. Unfortunately, as a first-time driver, the numbers aren't on your side. The risk of crash per mile driven is thee times higher for 16-19 year olds than for drivers age 65-69. But, there are some things teenagers and parents can do to save money on insurance rates. The Christopher Williams Agency wants to help you get the insurance you need to protect yourself, car and family.
Get on your parents' policy. It's usually more cost effective to add a teenager to their parents' policy, rather than be insured separately. Most companies won't charge an additional premium until the teen is a licensed driver. Parents need to inform their insurance agent or company that their teenager is being added to the policy. Deliberate concealment could impact coverage.
Good grades pay off. Most insurers offer a discount, some as high as 25%, for students who maintain a B average. Figure out your GPA here.
Driver experience. Graduated Driver Licensing law requires teens to log 50 hours with an experienced driver, but taking a formal drivers training course will likely save on insurance. Many companies offer up to a 10% discount.
Q. Graduated Driver's License Program:
A. Recognizing the importance of driving experience, New York―like many other states―has adopted a graduated driver's licensing program for drivers under the age of 18. Under the dictates of this program you must:
- Obtain a learner's permit.
- Enroll in a driver's education class. For link to Driver Ed classes, click here.
For AAA Point Reduction Programs, click here.
- Obtain a Certificate of 50 Hours of Driving Experience.
- Apply for a junior driver's license. If you did not complete a driver's education class, you must instead enroll in a pre-licensing safe driving course.
- If 17, upgrade to a standard Class D license provided you have completed a driver's education course.
Penalties can land you back in the passenger seat. Death and injury are the highest price drivers can pay for drinking and driving, but even if you manage to survive, a D.U.I. ticket will cost teenagers big time. As a teen driver, you'll likely be canceled and if you can get insurance, expect to pay a much higher rate for the next 3-5 years. Traffic crashes and citations will also impact your premium. Rack up more than three and teens face cancellation or non-renewal.
Drive an "insurance friendly" vehicle. Cars that are a favorite target for thieves, are expensive to repair, or are considered "high performance" have much higher insurance costs. Before you buy a car, contact your insurer to get a quote on what it will cost to insure.
For more information about all our services call 585-586-3060 or contact us
through email. We will gladly give you a free quote on any our your insurance needs.

A group of children file into the room and quickly take a seat around a colorful circular carpet. Their excitement is contagious as whispers and giggles fill the air. Hidden within the classroom is Lyka, a little robot scientist with a big heart who also happens to be an interactive plush. She has traveled more than 20,000 miles and visited 68 cities since arriving on Earth. On a mission to save her home, Lyka is enlisting the help of students around the world. And on this particular morning, her traveling lab has stopped by Rosetta Primary School in Hobart, Tasmania.
As a discovery-based learning experience that includes an eight-book series, an interactive plush toy and the traveling labs, Lyka's Adventure is on a mission to make science fun while teaching students empathy, coding, rapid prototyping and collaborative problem-solving. The Lyka's Adventure labs not only teach students science, coding and storytelling, but they also serve as an R&D space to help us design in a way that reflects our core audiences' needs. We see directly what works and what doesn't—plus we are able to design with the children, as opposed to designing in a vacuum and assuming we know what works for them.
An evolving approach
In many ways, Lyka's Adventure embodies a change in how I approach the development and creation of media and intellectual property. Over the course of my career, I've written, directed and produced films and television shows, designed games, staged live events and built software. Balancing story and software development, in particular, is a recurring challenge—the two often clash due to conflicting timetables and communication hurdles that arise between diverse teams.
So when it came time to build a toy and media company for this century, the design of the operation needed to reflect the times. At Connected Sparks, we strive to create toys and stories with passion and purpose. We build storyworlds that become educational ecosystems. Our mission is to create immersive experiences that ignite imaginations, open the design process and embrace shifts in media consumption.
But the creation of Lyka's Adventure was, in fact, fueled by a simple observation. After a Sunday family dinner, my mother ventured over to the couch to teach my son to read. The part of their otherwise age-old exchange that struck me as unusual was that my son (who was four at the time) was teaching his grandmother how to use the tablet that housed the eBook they were reading. I found this cross-generational transfer of knowledge fascinating, and within a few weeks I assembled a team to stage a hackathon to explore the concept.
It's normal for Connected Sparks to launch projects through an immersive lab or hack that brings together a team with varied backgrounds. Over the years, I've seen my core collaborators grow to include creative technologists, data scientists, user-experience (UX) specialists and researchers. And the most interesting ideas rest at the edges of these diverse perspectives and within the resulting friction created between disciplines and skills. These 21st-century writers rooms recognize that story can influence code/product development and vice versa. (This principal is also at the heart of a digital storytelling lab I have been developing at Columbia University in New York. Within the lab we experiment with ways in which story can help to drive innovation, bridge silos and aid diverse teams.)
Beyond the focus group
We often employ a designing "with" and "for" process that places our story and code directly in the hands of our target audience. While other industries commonly engage in R&D, this method is rarely utilized within the entertainment industry. For instance, the industry will spend time rewriting a script and then focus-test a film just prior to releasing it. But the only time it touches an audience is at the very end of the process, when it is often too late to make any changes.
For the past three years, we've been prototyping Lyka and her storyworld with children and parents around the globe. We've worked hard to place Lyka in environments that challenge our toys, stories and code. The results have helped us improve our products. But it's important to note that our prototyping sessions should not be equated to focus groups.
Unlike traditional focus groups, we don't create something in a vacuum and then place it in the hands of the audience to obtain feedback. Instead, we rapidly prototype concepts in a way that invites those participating in the sessions to become collaborators in the design process and not remain a largely passive audience. (A by-product of the connected world that we inhabit is the evolution of the audience. Many of its members have become their own media companies, thanks to the ability of social media and push-button publishing to get their message out easily and cheaply.)
We have found that failing quickly—and learning from it—enriches the quality of what we're building. In a sense, it is a form of re-writing. For instance, in the fall of 2011, we staged a beta test with an early version of the Lyka toy that included a number of sensors to measure geolocation and temperature. The data collected by Lyka would be pushed back to students.
Two classrooms, one in L.A. and the other in Montreal, Canada, worked together to move Lyka across North America. The students' imaginations and curriculum determined where she traveled. The test concluded with a weather balloon launch that sent our attached Lyka toy prototype 90,000 feet above Earth to the edge of the atmosphere.
The beta test provided valuable insight into what the children found engaging and what they did not. While we could have easily documented Lyka's travels and skyward ascent by compositing green-screen footage against stock backgrounds, the fact that she was actually out in the real world was thrilling for the students.
Additionally, the trip yielded a variety of assets (photos, video, stories, artwork) that we are still using today. Outside of its benefits for our development process, the beta test helped attract the interest of publisher Penguin. Intrigued by the innovative nature of the project, Penguin inked a deal with Connected Sparks that enabled collaboration on a second-screen reading application, as well as the release of the Lyka's Adventure as a book series, interactive toy and series of traveling educational labs into multiple territories, including the US, UK, Australia, Germany, France, China, Korea and Japan.
Sticking to experimentation
Back at Rosetta Primary School, a young boy has managed to discover Lyka's whereabouts. He hoists her up into the air while every one of his classmates surround him in an effort to touch her. As the students return and sit down, I ask if the class is ready to help Lyka save her home planet. The room erupts in a resounding collective "Yes!" Moments later, the children begin working in teams to aid their new friend, and the classroom transforms into a collaborative problem-solving space right before our eyes.
But the students are not the only ones learning. As I look around the room, I'm struck by the fact that we've created the same type of cross-generational knowledge exchange that inspired the project in the first place. My team and I are learning every time we run a lab. We're able to experiment and try new things in an effort to improve the design and educational value of what we're building. And we have found an R&D space that is brutally honest in its response. As I assist one of the students with the rocket she's building to help Lyka return home, I ask her what she thinks is important for Lyka to learn on Earth. Without missing a beat, she says, "Mistakes are welcome—because that is how you learn."
Lyka's Adventure is an ongoing experiment, an ambitious storyworld that spills off pages, screens and into the real world. By opening our design process we hope to build quality products with passion and purpose because this adventure is not about the destination but the journey.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Chinese students form the largest overseas group at U.S. universities and their numbers are rising as families spend a fortune in the quest for an American education to pry open the door to career and social success.
For some parents, overseas education is also seen as a way to avoid China's fiercely competitive national college entrance exam known as the "gaokao", which is taken by millions of teenagers who see it as a make-or-break way to get ahead.
"We don't know if it's right or wrong," said Zhao, a mother from the capital, Beijing, who wanted to be identified only by her surname. "We just feel it's better to get an education in the United States than in China."
The stress to get into university in China is severe but tighter job prospects for hordes of graduates are also causing anxiety as the world's second-largest economy slows.
Nearly 7 million Chinese graduated from university this year - a new record and a jump of 190,000 from last year. This has stepped up employment pressure, education authorities say.
To pursue his dream of going to a U.S. university, Li Shiyuan, 17, quit high school in May.
His parents had given him three options - stay in his home province of Shandong, where the college entrance exams are very competitive, move to Tianjin, which has one of China's highest acceptance rates for key universities, or study abroad.
He began in Beijing, by attending three courses to train for tests required by U.S. universities, including the SAT and the TOEFL English-language test.
This month, he sat the SAT exam for the second time in an effort to better his previous score and he plans to return to the Hong Kong test center in December.
"It's much better than in high school, where teachers put too much pressure on us," Li said.
His training for the exams has cost 100,000 yuan ($16,400), almost five times the annual disposable income of the average Chinese city-dweller.
"As long as the family can afford it, I would like my child to go abroad for university to learn some real stuff," said lawyer Li Xuezong, who accompanied his son to Hong Kong.
Nearly 200,000 Chinese students were at U.S. universities in the 2011/12 academic year, almost double the number from India, the second-largest group of overseas students, the U.S.-based Institute of International Education says.
While most Chinese study at graduate level, the 2011/12 academic year saw a surge of nearly a third in undergraduates from China, to about 75,000, institute data shows.
SATs are available only at some international schools in China, where fees are out of reach for most families. Hong Kong holds six SAT sessions a year.
Li Xuezong was one of hundreds of parents waiting patiently outside at Hong Kong's AsiaWorld-Expo, the city's biggest test center, where his son was among the 7,000 exam candidates.
Situated conveniently next to the airport, AsiaWorld-Expo hosts about 60,000 SAT takers a year, more than 90 percent of them from mainland China, Chief Executive Allen Ha said.
Many students take the test more than once.
"Because our examination-oriented system doesn't have many criteria to judge student performance, they focus on exams," said Zong Wa, an official of the government-linked China Education Association for International Exchange.
Studying abroad is an option mainly for the rich. Families typically save at least 1 million yuan ($164,000) for four years of college in America, but about 12 percent of China's 1.35 billion people still live on less than $1.25 a day.
Zong said as many as 450,000 Chinese would go overseas for education this year, with the U.S. the most popular destination.
At the same time, the number of students taking China's college entrance exam dropped for the fifth consecutive year.
"Students are asked to do tons of exercises during the last year of high school," said Li Xuezong. "It affects their way of thinking."
($1=6.0968 Chinese yuan)

In a bitter fight the dark side of Emile has emerged and now two of the muggers lie dead. This was to be the end of Emile's part in the book, with a sneaky twist that developed her character further.
I've always liked the idea of promoting equal rights and, although scientifically I definitely thing there are differences both psychologically and physically between men and women, there are a lot of ways equal opportunities between the sexes can be promoted. Having both Aldar and Emile as female characters in the book helped and not keeping to the stereotypic damsel in distress line was also guided my story down this path.
However, it had been Emile's character that illustrated the strength of a woman, how she could manipulate the men (and woman), and how her survival was not in the hands of her so called bodyguards. She had forced her way out of the psychological shock caused by how close she came to being sacrificed, had conned Joseph into heading for Abendale rather than the capital Ancora, and was now heading out for the West Gate on her own. Even when she was mugged she beat one of them to death with a hammer.
What ultimately shows the strength of her character (or her sneakiness) is when she cons Rondur out of his sword. After being rescued by the gambler, someone who evidently has developed feelings for her despite his usual nonchalant attitude toward women, she swaps information for his blade. And then leaves him weaponless. Ultimately, her survival is more important than a suave seducer and once again she is able to out think the man in the story.
Actually she leaves him the hammer. She isn't all that bad.
You can find out more about my world at my Facebook page here or you can visit my website here. The book has now gone out to the beta readers though I'm looking for a few more.

We're huge fans of international travel. London, Paris, Hong Kong, Rome, Rio, Tokyo, Tel Aviv… These are just some of the faraway destinations bursting with exciting adventures, rich histories, and striking landscapes. And while they'll forever have a place on our travel bucket lists (and in our hearts, once we make it there), today we're staying a little closer to home by highlighting the most beautiful cities in the U.S.
Indeed, America's cities are as diverse as the population and terrain, so the number of breathtaking and culturally fascinating and fun cities is pretty incredible. We have major metropolises and cosmopolitan hubs, smaller cities with fairytale charm, and midsized locales with close proximity to nature. So if you want to stick closer to home but also want to plan a trip—or if you're considering relocating to a new state—you have plenty of options. Whether you're an urbanite at heart or you prefer to keep your city slicking excursions within a weeklong visit, these are the 14 most beautiful cities in the U.S. to see.
Get ready for a virtual tour of the country that'll take your breath away.
Denver, Colorado
With its tall peaks, world-class skiing, and endless cultural excursions (breweries abound, so if you geek out over beer, get excited), Denver is the ideal destination for anyone who loves midsized cities surrounded by nature. It's super easy to navigate and explore, too. Make sure you visit the Denver Art Museum and then check out the breweries in the RiNo neighborhood.
Savannah, Georgia
Okay, wow. If you didn't already have this coastal southern city on your travel bucket list, the visual above is all the convincing you'll need. Where to begin? There are lovely, well-maintained parks, dramatic weeping willows and Spanish moss, alluring cobblestone streets and horse-drawn carriages, and hauntingly beautiful Gothic Revival architecture. In other words, it's probably the most picturesque city in the country.
Chicago, Illinois
As the home of the James Beard Award Foundation, it's no wonder this city is so famed for its culinary scene. Whether you're going for the deep dish pizza or buzzier restaurants, don't overlook all the other incredible attractions the Windy City has to offer. Tour some of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural gems, take a boat tour, and look out at the city from the inimitable Chicago Skydeck.
Honolulu, Hawaii
Located on the south shore of the island of Oahu, Hawaii's largest city also happens to be paradise. And like most cities, Honolulu is brimming with incredible restaurants, a lively nightlife, and plenty of shopping, but the many palm trees, Waikiki Beach, and nearby Diamond Head crater set it apart from the rest. There are endless outdoor excursions to try, like hiking in the lush Waimea Valley or trekking to the Manoa Falls and, of course, surfing, swimming, and hanging out at one of the many beautiful beaches.
While you're there, visit the Bishop Museum and the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.
New York, New York
It doesn't get more city-ish than New York City. Everything about it offers a unique sort of beauty, from the energetic pace to the intermingling of the centuries-old and modern-day architecture, the many bridges and waterfront views of the Manhatten skyline, and so much more.
New Orleans, Louisiana
Brimming with personality and character, New Orleans is perhaps the most unique and culturally distinct city in the country. Enjoy delicious Creole cuisine and beignets, jazz performances, Dislandland-esque architecture in the French Quarter, and rich history around every corner.
Seattle, Washington
Surrounded by water and mountains, this Pacific Northwest metropolis is a serious gem. What's not to love about Seattle? Though it's an urban setting, there are countless hikes, views, and outdoor excursions at your fingertips. And while it's the home to giants like Starbucks and Amazon, there's also a wonderful sense of local culture, from the charming boutiques, delicious eateries, and more.
Miami, Florida
As both a tropical paradise and a multicultural metropolis, Miami is easily one of the most exciting and beautiful cities in the world. From world-class shopping to beachside lounging, colorful Art Deco architecture, authentic Cuban cuisine, and bustling art scene, there's no shortage of excitement and beauty in this Sunshine State locale. Make time for a trip to Style Mafia in Wynwood for affordable on-trend pieces, check out the art in the area, and head to Mandolin for delicious Greek food in a chic garden setting.
In South Beach, go to the Webster, a gallery-like shop with expertly curated designer finds, and walk for miles along the boardwalk parallel to Collins Ave.
San Francisco, California
Ah, San Francisco. No matter how many times you visit this city or how long you live there, the views never fail to take your breath away. And get ready to be out of breath, thanks to the countless hills you'll climb, which always promise a gorgeous view, whether it looks out onto the bay, the bridge, the towers, the Victorian homes, or the Pacific ocean. And when it comes to food, it's pretty hard to find a city with as many delicious gourmet eateries as San Francisco, where the produce is fresh and the chefs are the best of the best.
San Antonio, Texas
As the second largest city in Texas, San Antonio is a mecca of culture and history. It was founded as a Spanish mission in 1718. It has some of the most famous frontier and Spanish Colonial era missions in the country, including The Alamo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The picturesque River Walk is a must. While you're strolling along this riverfront pedestrian-only street, pop into the many boutiques and grab a bite to eat. Oh, and definitely catch a performance at the San Antonio River Theater, an outdoor arena with operas and music shows on the water.
Washington, D.C
As the capital of our country, Washington D.C. is a must-visit. But aside from going there because of patriotism, it's also one of the most exciting, interesting, and travel-friendly destinations in the world. In fact, there are almost too many things to see and do in one trip. There are the atmospheric and educational memorials throughout the city, endless museums and political venues, and, when you want a break from the cultural and political experiences, there are plenty of charming neighborhoods to explore, like Georgetown and Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle.
Charleston, South Carolina
With its pastel-painted buildings and important history, Charleston is one of the most idyllic cities in the U.S. The city dates back to the Colonial era (hence the fusion of Southern American, British, French, and Afro-Caribbean cultural influences), so there's plenty to do and see. Start at the Gibbes Museum of Art and then walk around the Battery, a Civil War landmark. Or if you don't feel like walking, look into booking a horse-drawn carriage ride with a tour guide.
Portland, Oregon
Portland: Home to some of the hippest specialty shops, eateries, and forward-thinking bike-riding citizens in the country. And all this is set against the backdrop of calming rivers, a snow-capped mountain, and quaint, tree-lined streets. This is the perfect city for anyone who wants to eat incredible food in a place that feels more laid-back and casual than some of the other major cities in the U.S.
Los Angeles, California
And for the last stop on our virtual tour of America, we arrive in the glamorous city of Los Angeles, where it's always 70 degrees and sunny. Though it's known for being a huge sprawling city, every pocket of L.A. is drastically different in terms of the climate, culture, landscape, and more. For mountaintop lookout spots, Art Deco architecture, hip restaurants, edgy shopping, and exciting neighborhoods, head to the east side. And for waterfront sights and sports, beachy vibes, high-end shopping, and more, head to the west side.
There's also plenty to do in between (hello, Hollywood), so plan your drive accordingly.
Now that you've learned about the most beautiful cities in the U.S., take a look at some of the most breathtaking metropolises around the world.

I always assumed that abstracts would be easier than realism, that is not the case. Painting abstracts is so challenging that I am hooked, for now anyway. : )
4 comments:
Wonderful shapes and colors in this abstract, LOVE it ! And yes I agree, abstracts are not as easy as you imagine , try it to believe it :-)ReplyDelete
Yes, I wouldn't know where to start, it's hard enough with figurative work! A friend of mine introduced me to Howard Hodgkin's work which I really respond to. This is an interesting direction you're exploring. I like the flashes of orange and the stillness evoked.ReplyDelete
A lovey new direction Azra, I have been thinking a lot about them myself now a days.ReplyDelete
Love the effect of reflection there.ReplyDelete
Thankyou so much for taking the time to comment, its always a pleasure receiving each and every one.

Thousands worldwide have demanded that Ralph Lauren take action to eliminate human rights abuses and deforestation from its supply chain. Ralph Lauren is not only aware of the issue, but has the resources to lead the way.
This recently released report represents a small first step for the company, but it lacks the specificity to protect forests and communities in a meaningful way. Ralph Lauren must revise its citizenship report to include criteria for cancellation with controversial suppliers, including Toba Pulp Lestari, and set time-bound goals for implementation. Until Ralph Lauren does that, we ask you to help us keep the pressure on — and to stand for forests and community rights.

Updated 9 September 2008
On 5 October, Australia Eastern (New South Wales, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania) and Central (South Australia) time zones will commence – harmonising start and end times for each of these states. This will be a 21 day difference in October.
These changes can have a significant impact on business performance if not dealt with proactively. These effects can range from the incorrect time display on the clock, to calendaring problems, to financial and reputation loss if business critical services fail.
This change affects Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office Outlook and other Microsoft, third party and custom applications. The Australia 2008 Daylight Saving Planning Guide provides detailed guidance on preparing Microsoft solutions in complex environments for changes in daylight saving. Click on the links below to download the document in your preferred format:
Effects can range from the incorrect time display on the clock, to calendaring problems, to financial and reputation loss if business critical services fail.
The 5th of October commences the second window of time zone harmonisation for this year, however, we expect a greater impact in October as the change is 21 days difference, whereas the adjustment earlier in the year was only 7 days.
Thorough planning and testing for these changes is critical to ensure the change results in minimal user impact, so to help customers prepare Microsoft has developed the
Australia 2008 Daylight Saving Planning document, which details the nature and impact of the DST changes, along with planning guidance to avoid user impact.
Where servers, workstations and mobile devices have been added to the infrastructure, organisations will need to audit their environment to ensure all systems are patched according to the organisation's Daylight Savings Plan.
Where the environment does not have a consistent Daylight Savings Time (DST) patch level, appointments may have been created with a mix of correct and incorrect DST transition dates. Furthermore, Microsoft recommends customers update all systems to ensure consistency of operation, even if none of your systems are in the affected time zones.
Microsoft has revised the Australia 2008 Daylight Saving Planning Guide with learnings from the April transition and additional considerations for the October transition. Download the guideand update your daylight savings plan.

Root Canals are Very ManageableExtracting a tooth should be prevented, if at all possible. Root canal therapy can save a tooth and keep it fully functioning. In the past, patients have dreaded this treatment. But with today's advancements in treatment and the latest anesthetics, it is now much easier for a patient. Our doctors are very experienced in this procedure of removing the interior pulp of the tooth and replacing it with a special material to secure the tooth in place. It is different from filling material for a cavity and will return the tooth to full chewing capabilities. Having your natural tooth left in your dental arch will give you a complete smile and prevent other dental problems from occurring.

Oooh, I love the color! And the cutout is really cute! I thought about doing that on the phone you sent me but decided to leave it cream to go with the cord. Did you spray the cord, too? It looks great! :o)ReplyDelete

Food Safety – Not Just for Professionals

It really is an incredibly important thing to consider, especially in a professional kitchen or cafe. It really does bother me how often there is a […]

The sinking feeling,
That is hard to describe.
All you can say is you're ok
Even though you're falling down,
With no end in sight.
You try to voice your emotions,
To the ones you hold dear,
But you know that they don't understand.
Instead you're overcome with fear.
How long will this last?
How much longer will it take to find a ladder,
To climb out of this sinking hole?
And be the one who is strong, happy, and able to fun to be around.
Please, let the end be near.

Ten thousand men constructed the fortress in just four months under the directions of Sultan Mehmet II the Conqueror in 1452.

Aroview: Sam Neill narrates this intimate portrait of veteran art dealer Peter McLeavey, commemorating his 40 years in the business of running an independent art gallery in Wellington's Cuba Street.
Still walking to work in his seventies, and using a typewriter and fountain pen as his primary business tools, this leisurely, loving tribute reveals him to be an extraordinary gentleman and indeed, worthy subject, as it too explores the byways of New Zealand art history and the bohemian vibe of a Cuba Street past and present, which as Peter puts it, is "not just a street, but an attitude".

Folding Fabric
I had a minor fabric disaster. The hanging closet organizer I use to store my fabric ripped. Instead of removing the fabric first, I tried to take the whole thing down with the fabric in it. Naturally, all the fabric fell out in the process. I purchased a new organizer in the same style, but the new one is fabric instead of plastic, so hopefully it won't rip. It is not my ideal way to store fabric, since the weight of the fabric makes the shelves sag, but it works well for the space I have. I spent a lot of time refolding fabric so it would fit in two columns, but I was even able to fit in some additional fabric.

Warm weather threatens eelpout festival
The Cass County Sheriff's Office is restricting traffic on Leech Lake during the 38th annual International Eelpout Festival in Walker because of unseasonably warm February weather.
Grace Pastoor of the Forum News Service:
Citing safety concerns, the sheriff's office issued a news release Monday stating that most vehicle traffic will not be allowed on the bay during the festival because of unseasonably warm temperatures and the large number of vehicles. Shortly afterward, festival organizer Jared Olson penned and distributed a letter objecting to the vehicle restrictions.

Something Different
28 comments:
Cute ensemble! To tell you the truth, I think I'd prefer the coat as is.ReplyDelete
Hey Khatu, whatever you do don't take scissors to this absolutely breathtaking coat. I'd love to see it with gunmetal gray (or black) pencil leg trousers, a chambray shirt, and your wooden heeled YSLs. It would also look good with red skinny denim and black high heels.ReplyDelete
I like the coat how it is, it's cute!ReplyDelete
omgsh i love print on your coat!! havent seen one like that before!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 29, 2012 at 2:30 PM
One of a kind coat and like the way you juxtaposed it with those boots. Would also look great with something red as well (possibly some skinnies). Until your next ensemble, stay warm!ReplyDelete
I think it looks fabulous on you!ReplyDelete
Follow me & my bags, shoes, and all things dainty at:
I think the coat is fabulous and you should wear it more often. I think sometimes we have things that are fabulous but maybe just don't "feel" like us. Either way you look great in it. - RhodaReplyDelete
Ever since I got a chinchilla, real fur gives me the heebie jeebies, but this coat is quite spectacular. I wonder how it would look with sequin?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 29, 2012 at 4:10 PM
I agree, leave the coat as is.ReplyDelete
I'd wear it more to fancy restaurant, concert, wedding, etc.... Could you show us what you have under the coat well. [KAREN J]
What a beautiful coat. Tis' the season to show fur.ReplyDelete
I LOVE your outfit and I'm totally jealous of your Chanel!! :)ReplyDelete
xx Michaella
It looks perfect just the way it is. I think you did an amazing job in styling it, too. Something like that only needs basic, classic items. The rest will fall into place.ReplyDelete
I prefer it the way it is! I think there are definitely ways to make it work... a simple colour scheme like black on black and sky-high heels for a nice dinner look, perhaps?ReplyDelete
xo, alison*elle
That coat is insane - love it!ReplyDelete
xo, tasha

I think you should leave the coat as it is! Love it on you!ReplyDelete
leave it as is!!ReplyDelete
Really cool!!! Love your style and your blog. I follow you!!ReplyDelete

This fur jacket looks incredible and unique. It would seem so sad to make it into a vest. Maybe you can slim the sides of the jacket instead.ReplyDelete
I think you should keep it like that! It's not that bad, it actually looks really nice on you!ReplyDelete
nice outfitReplyDelete
pls visit www.mrs-ca.blogspot.com
I think, you should leave the coat like it is! Great outfit!ReplyDelete
Kisses from Hong Kong,
I am so smitten with your fur coat, divine!!!! Actually the whole look is fabulous!;)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 31, 2012 at 5:36 PM
That flare of light in the last photo made me think your boots were two-toned!ReplyDelete
I am sure you won't ruin it at all by turning it into a vest. Right now - for me- it looks a little 'last year' (sorry) and it will be much more stylish as a vest and match perfectly with the rest of your wardrobe then. Being a dressmaker myself I would take it to the furrier to get it altered in a professional way (because it's real fur). This awesome piece is really too good for just hanging in your closet. Surely you won't regret. Just keep the sleeves and maybe you'll return it into a jacket some day...
Love from Hamburg, Germany
It is a super cute coat and I would keep it as is. It is punch and right in season.ReplyDelete
as others mentioned..cigarette trousers for sure!ReplyDelete
Love this, such a cute coat!ReplyDelete

Vented Spades
Benchmark Site Services specializes in custom fabricated and stock flanges, Blinds, Paddle Blinds, Vented Paddle Blinds, EZ Vent Blinds, Ring Spacers, Spectacle Blinds, Bleed Rings, Blind Flanges and more.
We manufacture and machine our blinds in Canada and ship worldwide. Our prices are among the most competitive in the world. Since our materials are made and modified in Canada they are certified quality.
Single Blinds or Blanks are positive shut-off devices that prevent any flow through a pipeline. Ring spacers or Open Blinds are used to fill the space of Single Blinds when they are removed from the piping system. With space, weight, and other pipeline requirements permitting, it may be more convenient and cost-effective in specific situations to use a Spectacle Flange, which is a combination of the two that can be rotated to function as Single Blind or a Ring Spacer.
A small problem is that we basically can not see, or a Spade or a Spacer mounted between the flanges. Therefore the handles are often specially marked, or both have a different design; a customer often provides its own specification.
What should never lack is, that in the handle, the diameter and the Pressure Class of a Spade or Spacer is engraved; this applies also for the Spectacle Blind.
The sealing surfaces of a Spectacle Blind, Spade or Ring Spacer are usually conducted in accordance with the Face Finish from the flange. The diameter always is slightly larger than the Raised Face of a flange; by a correct assembly, the bolts are just not touched by the Blind or Spacer.
The diameter of them, is depending on the flange size, and the thickness from the Pressure Class of a flange.
Dimensions from Spectacle Blinds, Spades and Ring Spacers, you will find in the main Menu "Flanges"
ASME B16.48 covers pressure-temperature ratings, materials, dimensions, dimensional tolerances, marking, and testing for operating line blanks in sizes NPS 1/2 – NPS 24 for installation between ASME B16.5 flanges in the 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500 Pressure Classes.
Spectacle Blinds, Spades and Ring Spacers should be made from a plate or forging specification, approved for use by ASME B31.3, of essentially the same chemical composition as the mating flanges and piping involved.
Please feel free to contact us today to discuss your project requirements and schedule a commitment free lunch and learn or webinar with one of our product specialists.

It has long been known that certain foods increase sexual appetite and also maintain a sex impulse at an enviable level.
Natural aphrodisiacs for a stronger libido guarantee that you have an enviable level of making love with your partner.
Giacomo Casanova ate 50 oysters every day in the morning for breakfast to increase libido.
In addition, that allowed him to become a "living fire" in bed.
Many ancient cultures have discovered the power of food that exacerbates sexual excitement.
The ten foods that increase sexual appetite
Pomegranate is the symbol of the Greek goddess of love Aphrodite.
Legend says that she planted the first tree of this fruit.
Pomegranate increases the production of nitrogen oxide in the body and also increases blood flow.
Of course, that is very important for the function of the sex organs and the increase in sexual appetite.
Oysters have long been a popular and a natural aphrodisiac.
They contain large amounts of zinc and proteins that raise testosterone production in the body.
They are very rich in dopamine, which affects the centers of sexual excitement in the brain.
Oysters are the perfect food for a planned sexual act and very delicious to share with a loved one.
In addition, you can have a nice glass of red wine and music near the fire.
Avocado is also one more food that is a natural aphrodisiac.
This fruit is full of healthy fatty acids and vitamin E that boost testosterone production and blood flow to sex organs.
Even the ancient Aztecs thought the avocado was excellent for the health of the testicles.
The Greeks considered figs as a symbol of fertility and also love.
Even Cleopatra liked figs.
They claim to be very stimulating for the sexual instinct of men and women because of the extremely high level of amino acids.
Some theories say that many women are also sexually excited when they see a man eating fresh figs.
Banana contains a high potassium level which helps and also increases the production of human sex hormones.
Also, bananas contain bromelain that increases libido.
Chocolate is considered a romantic food.
Many ancient tribes used chocolate in rituals of fertility.
Even the Aztec king Montezuma ate cocoa fruits in order to be ready to make love.
Chocolate contains phenylethylamine and also a high level of serotonin.
Both of these naturally occurring substances fall into those that improve mood and increase sexual appetite.
Besides them, chocolate also contains anandamide, which affects neurotransmitters identical to marijuana.
Why is watermelon one of the foods that raise sexual appetite?
It contains a substance called citrulline.
This substance spreads the blood vessels to bring more fluid into them, which increases circulation in the sexually transmitted sexual organs and makes them ready for love.
Therefore, the watermelon does not only cool us from the heat and eliminate our thirst.
This summer fruit is a great ingredient for triggering sexual impulses.
Since ancient civilization, almonds have been considered a strong natural aphrodisiac.
This "erotic nut", as they once called, contains magnesium and also vitamin E that increase sexual desire and endurance.
In the Middle Ages, the Celts drank honey when they went to the honeymoon.
The Persians drank honey a month before the act of love to prepare their own body for that.
High levels of vitamin B and boron in a natural honey can help balance the levels of estrogen and testosterone in the body.
Red wine
A small drop of red wine can also increase the desire for the ethanol found in it.
This alcoholic drink induces the hypothalamus to revise many body functions like:
– Hunger
– Hormones
– Body temperature
– Sexual desire
However, too much red wine can cause unpleasant behavior and increase hunger.
Too much of red wine can also have a drastic reduction and lack of sexual reaction.
Now, when you know more about which ingredients increase sexual appetites you can share that with your partner.
