French design-house Emanuel Ungaro is expected to announce today that they've appointed New York design whiz kid Esteban Cortazar as womenswear chief. The choice of Cortazar, who says he's 23 years old, is sure to surprise many in the fashion world because of his relative inexperience (though he's been showing in New York since he was 18) and the fact that he's been taking a break from fashion lately. He didn't show last season, and you're more likely to see him posing for pictures on the red carpet than one of his designs. (Or see him on Top Chef!) "Ungaro chief executive officer Mounir Moufarrige has a knack for making surprising designer choices," reports WWD. "As president of Chloé, he picked the then 25-year-old Stella McCartney to succeed Karl Lagerfeld in 1997." Ugh: young, cute, talented, and given opportunities beyond his years? We're so resentful. He didn't even have to date Harvey Weinstein!
Ungaro Taps Cortazar [WWD]

I bought this coat for my daughter for Christmas. She just loves it. I am very happy I bought it. Very high quality. You can't tell from the picture how cute it really is in person.
I usually wear an 8 and bought the 8, but I think I could have gone with a size 6, I can probably just wear larger sweaters underneath, but overall it looks great and I love the boucle hood and the leopard print lining inside.
A nice stylish wool coat with a little panache so you don't look like everyone else who needs a nice wool car coat! I actually think it is nicer close up than in the picture. Less busy. Not a super warm model... just wool and lining except for the hood which is nicely lined with bloucle wool.
I love this coat!..I will keep it 4 a Loooonnggg time It hard to find the perfect black coat. With a hood that u can remove n does not look cheap. I love Betsy j!..and I love Overstock!

In any form of communication, whether it's inter-personal or group communication, language plays a vital role. It's through speech that we can express our thoughts and ideas to others. This speech basically is of two kinds- verbal and non-verbal. In non-verbal form of communication body movements are used to communicate something with someone. In verbal form of communication, we make use of our mother tongue or other speech forms for the purpose of communication. In this globalised world, it's very important to have knowledge of different languages. When a person knows multiple languages, his chances of beings adjusted in a new environment gets higher. Language skills development depends on many factors. One of the factors is the environment in which the child is growing. If a child grows in a colony where people speak a diversity of speech forms, than the child automatically develops skills in different languages other than the mother tongue. A child can become bilingual if the parents speak different terminologies, say for example, the mother speaks English and the father speaks German. In such cases, the child acquires the characteristics of both the speech forms.There are thousands of languages that people speak around the world. In fact in India also, hundreds of terminological forms are used by the people. Every people know at least one language that they learn in their childhood. But some people develop the interesting of knowing more than one speech form. The globalization of the world has now opened up doors to learn more languages. The demand of knowing the foreign terminology is increasing day by day. Modern day schools are also emphasizing on the language studies of the students and thus added foreign languages in their school curriculum. Bilingualism offers multiple benefits to the speaker. Some of the benefits are briefly discussed below:-• Cognitive Benefits- Research studies prove that people who can speak more than one terminology develop a creative thinking skills and an ability to think more flexibly. It is because these people have more than one word for each idea and object. In kids, bilingualism enhances and enriches their mental development• Character Advantages- When people develop acquaintance with different languages, they can communicate differently with different language speaking people. It enriches their process of communication, because they are able to convince people in their respective speech forms• Curriculum Benefits- It is noticed that students who are bilingual score better in the tests. Bilinguals can easily grab different subjects and also develop a high academic growth• Communication Advantages- the bilinguals enjoy reading and writing in different languages. They easily understand other people's language and thus can easily be a part in a discussion session. When we develop good command over a particular language, our self confidence also gets higher• Employment Benefits- If we can add more terminologies in the list of our known languages, the chances of getting s job gets increased. The bilinguals can get prosperous career opportunities in the retail sector, transport, tourism, administration, secretarial work, public relations, marketing and sales, banking and accountancy, translation, law and teaching.Children who are learning to speak two languages follow patterns of learning. The sounds of the first terminology can influence how children learn and use a second terminology.

The Book of Spies
An Anthology of Literary Espionage
An anthology of the world's best literary espionage, selected by a contemporary master of the genre, Alan Furst. Here is an extraordinary collection of work from some of the finest novelists of the twentieth century. Inspired by the politics of tyranny or war, each of these writers chose the base elements of spy fiction--highly evolved spy fiction--as the framework for a literary novel. Thus Alan Furst offers a diverse array of selections that combine raw excitement and intellectual sophistication in an expertly guided tour of the dark world of clandestine conflict. These are not just stories of professional intelligence officers. We meet diplomats, political police,agents provocateurs, secret operatives, resistance fighters, and assassins--players in the Great Game, or victims of the Cold War.The Book of Spiesbrings us the aristocratic intrigues ofThe Scarlet Pimpernel, in which French émigrés duel with Robespierre's secret service; the savage political realities of the 1930s in Eric Ambler's classicA Coffin for Dimitrios;the ordinary citizens (well, almost) of John le Carré'sThe Russia House, who are drawn into Cold War spy games; and the 1950s Vietnam of Graham Greene'sThe Quiet American, with its portrait of American idealism and duplicity. Drawing on acknowledged classics and rediscovered treasures, Alan Furst'sThe Book of Spiesdelivers literate entertainment and excitement on every page.

Future updates will require this AutoUpdate patch to be installed.
Following problems with identity database corruption after installing the latest update, Microsoft has pulled the update from its automatic update service.
Automatic updates on Android devices can keep your apps up-to-date on the latest bug fixes, feature adds, and enhancements. We'll show you how to set up automatic updates on your Android device.
As software becomes a constant work in progress, it's time to let its makers bear responsibility for keeping it current.
Google operating system will feature many of the same security features as the Chrome browser, including "sandboxing" of applications, auto updating, and antiphishing.
Microsoft says it has stopped automatically updating machines to Vista Service Pack 1 after discovering a bug that can cause problems between the OS and another of the company's products.
The Firefox browser is updated automatically, too. But that's different because people downloaded it on their own in the first place, says Mozilla chief John Lilly.
Microsoft has released a preview of its updated Office suite for Mac OS 10.10 users. The official version is due out around the middle of the year.

The white heat of technology: Phil Rhodes talks about white light and a possible means of obtaining it with the minimum possible use of power.
While the rest of the top tier television manufacturers are dropping prices of their 4K/UHD televisions, LG aims to trump the competition with the world's first OLED 4K television and a massive pre-release price cut.
Gamut is one of the stranger words in the English language. Phil Rhodes sheds some light on this often misunderstood term
HMI remains a viable and useful lighting technology. Phil Rhodes explains the science behind this enduring type of illumination
LED lighting seems to have everything going for it: low power consumption, less heat, and a long lifespan. But there's a catch.
Part 2 of our investigation into whether we can ever get good colour from modern lighting
LED lighting in still photography and video is problematic because even though you can approximate a white-looking light, there are gaps in the spectrum that can leave some colours under-illuminated
Want to know more about LED lighting? Here's your chance.
LED lights are a big hit. With low power consumption, long life bulbs, a relatively high light output and little heat radiating onto the set, they have become highly sought after. Kieron Seth looks at the plusses and pitfalls of LED lighting.
Raise your hand if you are interested in LED lighting because it lets you get more light for less power

It's Our Turn: Ted is getting on my nerves
A year ago, I affectionately named my brand new treadmill "Ted."
I promised to take long walks with him every day and never abandon him. He was shiny and new and Ted the treadmill had an air of mystery about him - I wanted to get to know him better.
We spent a lot of time together those first couple months. He pushed me to 45-minute workouts at 3.9 miles per hour. I blasted through sweat and calories. Whew... it was great!

when and how to plant lupine seeds
I hope I'm in the right spot but I've been trying to find some information on when a good time is to plant Lupine seeds and how exactly do you do it? I had bought a couple plants from the local nursery and the did great and now I have the seeds. I took them out of the pod (which I hope is right) and I'm storing them in a air tight plastic container. I just don't know how or where to start with the seeds considering fall is just around the corner. So if there's anyone out there that knows let me know! Thanks!
Hi! I collected some of these up in Phelps on vacation. They were growing wild in a field, so I figured I would just throw some of them in the garden now. I sowed about 1/2 of them and keeping the rest until next year in case they dont grow.
:) Thats all I know.
Here's the way I do it,though I'm sure there's more than 1 way.Anyway here goes.
I collect seeds from pods after they start drying up,then around the first week of july soak seedsin water for 2 days,I usually save some starting trays from annuals I buy-fill with a seed starting mix-no need to be fussy.bury seed 1/4 in deep 3-4 seeds per cell and place in a area that keeps direct sun from drying out your growing medium.I place them under a tree that allows AM & PM sun with shade during the hotest time of the day.Keep moist and you should have sprouts in 2-3 weeks,although some seed will take longer to break.
Also useing fairly deep cells is best because lupine have a taproot.
I had tried for years to establish lupine, with no success. Three years ago, I moved into a house that shares a side fence with a woman who has a lovely patch of lupines.
Low and behold - I now have a little patch of lupines at the corner of my garage. I believe that a bird ate some lupine seeds and sat on my garage roof, at the corner, to take a poop. I suppose the poo kept it from washing or blowing away.
I haven't done anything to plant more seeds. Nature did such a good job already that I think I will leave it up to her what to do now. Carmellia
I am starting a good many kinds of lupin this spring inside.
I soak them in warm water at least two days. I am sowing
Band of Nobles, Gallery Pink, Gallery mix, Russell Governor
Blue, Tutti Fruitti, Sundown, (I have LuLu on hand.) I may sell some at the farmer's market in town. I may do the same thing with the tons of delphinium I have started. I took the suggestion somewhere on the web of freezing the seed just ONE night and sowing the next day. It works nicely. I plan to have a huge variety of foxgloves most of which I have already started under lights as well. As a kicker, I hope to have many, many old fashioned Canterbury bells to sell. I like to go for the tall and spectacular. Ordinarily, I give a lot of them away, but I would like to recoup all the money I have spent on, seeds, deep cell flats and starting mix. I just go nuts in March to November. LOL. Oh yes, I am going to plant lots of varieties of single and double hollyhocks, another tall beauty, several varieties of verbascum Olympia and other tall or spectacular. If only my dreams of my garden could come true!!
My neighbour just throws them at the back of my property where the grass grows long and we don't care for that part of the property. I guess the grass protects the seeds. Then, by next spring they will pop up! I dig them up and put them in my garden. Nature is awesome! I have pink, purple and white lupins!!! thanks to my neighbour who didn't know what she was doing and threw the seeds over onto my side of the property :)
As a complete novice to gardening ive decided to give it a go.Ive grown some lupin seeds which have now grown indoors in a proporgator. I have today potted them into 3inch pots. I have produced about 10 one inch high plants, My question is what do I do now? Should I plant out for the winter(its now October in the uk) or should I continue to bring them on until they are bigger?
I dont have a greenhouse but I do have a summer house I could use.
Would appreciate some guidance, thankyou, Kaz809 uk
I have wild seed I picked From ditches. They seeded fine the next year I never even soaked them but I am sure that would help they took about two weeks to germinate I barely covered them and directly sowed them on the northern site. I like them as they r so easy to tell when they pop up. They have long tap roots so transplanting them can be difficult. Good luck!

Final Score: Portland 106, Indiana 102
Portland, OR (SportsNetwork.com) - Portland took Paul George's best shot, but the Trail Blazers proved they have a closer of their own.
Damian Lillard scored 14 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter and the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Indiana Pacers, 106-102, on Monday night.
Lillard was just 4-of-12 shooting through three quarters before coming alive in the fourth. George netted 17 of his career-high 43 points in the final frame.
George nailed a pair of treys to whittle the Pacers deficit to 98-96 with 1:37 on the clock, but the cold-blooded Lillard answered with a three at the other end and Indiana didn't cut the gap below three the rest of the way.
George hit his fifth 3-pointer of the quarter with 10.4 seconds left to trim the bulge to 105-102, but Nicolas Batum split a pair of foul shots to seal the outcome.
"We played the most complete game from beginning to end: Execution, effort, mental focus," Portland head coach Terry Stotts said.
LaMarcus Aldridge added 28 points and 10 boards for Portland, which has won 13 of its last 14 tilts.
Roy Hibbert chipped in 16 points and 14 rebounds for the Pacers, who had their seven-game winning streak snapped. They dropped just their second game of the year.
"They're a great offensive team and they made big shots all game long," Pacers head coach Frank Vogel said of Portland.
George drove in for a dunk to give the Pacers a 68-60 lead late in the third before Aldridge had five points during a 10-2 Blazers run, which was capped on Joel Freeland's dunk for a 70-70 deadlock.
The game was tied 72-72 heading into the fourth, where the Blazers took their first lead when Lillard knocked down a step-back triple for a 75-72 cushion with 11:09 left.
Lillard's three jumpstarted an 11-4 flurry to start the fourth and three straight Mo Williams baskets concluded the burst and gave Portland an 83-76 margin with 7:26 to play.
The Pacers led 23-20 after a quarter of play and 46-45 at the break.
Game Notes
Lillard was a perfect 10-of-10 from the foul line ... Wesley Matthews netted 15 points for the Blazers ... George's previous career high was 37 ... Portland was 29-of-33 (87.9 percent) from the foul line.

Love is the ultimate game changer…and this time it's winner take all.
Demons of Elysium, Book 3
Now that his lover is back in his arms, Belphagor is taking his own sweet time to say the words Vasily longs to hear: "You're my boy." And savoring the sweet torture of driving the firespirit into a frenzy of unfulfilled need.
As the undisputed master of Heaven's gaming tables, Belphagor never plays unless he's certain of winning. But this time, political machinations send the game—and Vasily—tumbling to the brink of even his formidable control.
Vasily can't deny enjoying their delightfully edgy play—until the airspirit auctions him off for a night to the one demon with a gift for taking things too far. Seductive Silk, tight-lipped about the end of his relationship with the sweet submissive Phaleg, may also be involved with a new faction threatening the pregnant queen of Heaven.
Belphagor couldn't be less interested in the games angels play, but when angelic and demonic intrigues overlap, he's drawn in against his will. And forced to break his one inviolable rule: Never gamble what you can't afford to lose.
Warning: Contains more than a mouthful of m/m ménage, with intense D/s situations featuring intricate rope work, balaklavas, and a flurry of snow.
Posted August 17, 2014
4.75 stars: MASTER OF THE GAME is the third instalment in JaneKindred's erotic M/M fantasy series-Demons of Elysium-a prequel spin off series from her House of Arkhangel'sk Trilogy -focusing on airspirit demon and Dominant Belphagor, and the love of his life firespirit demon Vasily. MASTER OF THE GAME and the Demons of Elysium series is a sexually graphic, M/M series where nothing is off limits as long as all of the acts are consensual between all parties involved.
The focus of the storyline finds Heaven on the verge of a revolution. Similar to the early twentieth century Russian uprising against Czar Nicholas and his family, Heaven's angels and demons are at odds when it comes to the ruling political party. Enter Belphagor and Vasily who will be caught up in a game of 'spy vs spy' when Heaven's ruling family are targeted for destruction.
The relationship between Belphagor and Vasily is one of domination and submission although Vasily is not one to consider himself submissive. Throughout the storyline our couple is involved in numerous sexual situations –together, with others, and in precariously dangerous situations. There were times when humiliation and degradation were a means to an end, and in this a fine line was crossed as to whether consent had been given. Belphagor is a demon whose love for Vasily is beyond measure but his actions are questionable –time and again. The secondary storyline finds former rentboy Silk and General Phaleg's relationship easily crossing the line on several occasions. Phaleg's need for Silk finds the Angel fighting his urges and his position within the Royal army; and Silk's need to dominate pushes the boundaries of control.
I found this particular storyline more sexually graphic and disturbing due to the indignity and condescension of some of the acts. MASTER OF THE GAME (and the series) is a storyline where D/s is the overriding theme throughout –not just between our leading couple-but also between angels and demons; the haves and the have nots. The upcoming rebellion and revolution took a back seat to the sexual exploits of the demons and angels.
Jane Kindred has a talent for pulling the reader into a world that crosses between fantasy and reality. Many of the events in the world of the Arkhangel'sk parallel a number of similar events during the Russian Revolution and the Demons of Elysium series is the build up to the fall of Heaven's Royal family.
MASTER OF THE GAME is an imaginative and infinitely detailed storyline that is both sexually graphic and staggeringly intense. Jane Kindred's characters are sensual, emotional, heartbreakingly passionate but in the end are as fallible and idealistic as any human (or demon) can be. Heaven's political system is incredibly abrasive, provocatively abusive, and intensely corrupt such that espionage, abuse and murder are part of the political system and hierarchy.
