Hi! My name is Nurinia, a first time guest at Or so she says.. and very excited and honored to be here!
I have been happily married to my very sweet husband for 6 years! We have 3 kids together ages 13, 5 and 3, who are very active and also very mischievous
I call myself the 'everything-ologist' because I love doing so many different things and have a passion for doing them as well. I am stay home mom who used to work as a makeup artist, and now is her own makeup artist who loves to occasionally share beauty and makeup tips with friends and family, a self taught graphic designer who also designs her own blogger templates for her personal websites. I also have a passion for cooking, I love reading cookbooks and love experimenting with new recipes. Among other things I also enjoy working out, doing home gardening, photography, drawing and blogging!
I taught myself how to sew when I was 13 years old and it is now one of my favorite 'hobbies' if I can call it that way, I enjoy making my own clothes and re-purposing old or unused clothing.
For many years I was afraid to use a sewing machine since I am no seamstress and did my sewing mostly by hand, until a couple of years ago when my husband bought me this vintage beauty, a Singer Style-o-matic 328 circa 1950:
And then the "sewing affair" started and I began once again to create and re-create items that I proudly wear now since they have my own and very personal signature. Like this Re-purposed Man's Jacket that I re-fashioned, – this jacket went from an XL man's size to an XS woman's size, I also added some stylish ruffles to it to give it a more flirty and fun look.
But clothing is not the only thing I love re-purposing, so today I will share a brief tutorial of one of my summer re-purposing projects that I did on a couple of pairs of shoes that I could no longer wear.
{Image via Mohop.com}
When I first saw these shoes, I thought they were gorgeous, when I knew how they were made I thought gorgeous AND clever!
They are handmade shoes, and the person that created them uses birch plywood, and recycled tires to make these shoes. With these shoes you can make a million and one combinations of different styles, {with the same pair of shoes!}, so you can have a 1001 possible combinations that you can do with these shoes {see here}, and that, is amazing!
I had been wanting a pair since I saw them! So, since I had a two pairs of shoes that got a little bit too big on my feet and didn't fit me anymore, I decided I would make my own version of the Mohop shoes!
I still don't have enough accessories to get all that creative with them, so the styles I am about to show you are pretty basic, but that gives you an idea of what you can do with those shoes that you no longer want and think you should get rid of, – so wait and don't throw them away! recycle them instead.
What you will need:
- Ribbon or Strings of Leather
- Tacks OR Upholstery Nails
- Elastic
- Very sharp pair of scissors (not shown above, they are picture shy)
Remove the straps off your shoes/sandals with a pair of sharp scissors, then put on the tacks/nails along the sides of your shoes, separating them about (2 in) 5 cms apart, – you can help yourself with a small hammer and tap the tacks in a bit. Loop the elastic around every nail/tack, like it's shown in the picture below:
You also need either crazy glue, hot glue, or any other glue that holds strongly, or super glue for shoes so the tacks/mails and elastic can stay put, so they won't come off as you walk.
This is how the shoes will look without the ribbons on:
And this, is the end result:
Of course you can add more bling or detail to them by adding flowers or different types and color of ribbon or some jewelry, feathers, bows, or anything that tickles your fancy, all you need is a little bit of inspiration and creativity. For now, that is all I did to mine, but I plan on styling them differently by adding more accessories to them, and using different types, lengths, widths, colors and textures of ribbon etc. to decorate them next time.
For more ideas you can check out the Mohop Shoes Gallery.
Have fun!

I've opened an account with WorldSpreads, what do you think about them? Are they all the same or there is a difference?
I've opened an account with WorldSpreads, what do you think about them? Are they all the same or there is a difference?
Jim2, this section is for you to share your personal experience with brokers.
I'm glad that you're trying out World Spreads and I hope we'll have your review soon.
Good luck with your trading...
Hi Jim2
I have an account with worldspreads and i can only tell you that they're just very good, i have never had any problem on my executions, whether entering or exciting the position, adding funds into my account or withdrawing them...I will rate them as good overall 8/10
I've been using world spreads for couple of days now and it does not accept my deals straight away when the market is moving quick.
I have tried worldspread before, all i can say is that they are average, can't complain about them, nor praise them..Jim2 is right about the execution of trades though, sometimes it just gets stuck or doesnt accept trades!!! But their customer service is good...
Referred a friend over a month ago and still waiting for them to give me my £150... even though I received an e-mail from them informing me that it would be done shortly... fingers crossed.
Worldspreads is a good broker. i have been trading with them for about five months now and they have been good for me so far. Trading when the market is moving fast is not my cup of tea, i like it when the market are a bit steady... good luck everyone
I hate this broker. They caused me some heavy losses last week. That day when the markets went up by more that 3% (last Wednesday). I had a sell position and the market was volatile and i tried to close my position and i couldnt and i kept receiving a message saying, chat to one of out customer service, i opened the chat with him and i asked to close my position and he said they can't do that via chat. Fair enough, but why on earth they ask people to chat online to customer service when they cant close the position via chat??? Then I honed them up and they took their time to close my position asking me silly questions!!! I ended up losing more than what i could have having closed the position faster!!!
I have been using worldspreads for a long time now and find them not that bad, the no spreads is great offer but like anything else you have to weigh up the pros and cons of it. I find their platform decent and their customer service helpful. Not the best Spread Betting broker but I would still rate them 6/10

Fool in the Rain is a song from Led Zeppelin's final studio album, In Through the Out Door in 1979. In 1980, it reached #21 on the pop singles charts. This song has always been very popular with fans of the band.
the chorus of the song is "light of the love that I found" Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for the night I hate to think I've been blinded baby Why can't I see you tonight? -Fool in the Rain |
2. | Fool in the rain | ||
One who is waiting to meet someone, but is waiting in the wrong spot. See Fribley accident. This is an allusion to the Led Zeppelin song "Fool in the Rain" I thought she was late, but I was just a fool in the rain.

Tribune Editorial Board Still Hate Parking Meter Lease Deal
The Chicago Tribune editorial board told City Council members to vote against the original and now infamous, Chicago parking meter lease deal back in 2008 under Mayor Daley.
Fast forward to the present, and the Trib editorial board is imploring current Mayor Rahm Emanuel to figure out a way to renegotiate the ultra-craptacular one sided deal that may cost Chicago more than the $1.16 billion it got as payment for the 75 year lease of the city's metered parking concession.
The Tribune people don't actually have any concrete ideas for Emanuel but say the arbitration the Mayor is forcing is good and then implore him get "creative."
While the Tribune's position is skull crushing in its naivety as the odds against renegotiating that contract are probably worse than winning the lottery, at least they possess some optimism.
However, if ne wants to see irrational, unrealistic optimism, we would advise purchasing a six week old puppy.
Here's the Tribune's editorial, "A new parking meter deal?"
11 Responses to Tribune Editorial Board Still Hate Parking Meter Lease Deal
Due to the language of the Lease, CPM isn't required to agree to a renegotiation.
If Rahm want's out…they have to find a loophole.
The only way currently to get out of the lease without being required to pay back the funds that Chicago has already received from CPM et al is to get CPM to willingly end the lease.
Like say…Stop having CPD and PEA's write Expired Meter tickets and Force CPM to hire so many LAZ employees that it no longer becomes cost effective to patrol the meters from 8am/9am to 6pm/9pm.
The city also needs to figure out a way to invalidate or renegotiate the Parking Lot leases and the Skyway leases.
"Skull Crushing" well put Geek. Thanks Mayor Daley for the quasi-legal FRAUD! May this sham be your epitaph.
My favorite I to impose a requirement that any company that operates more than 2000 parking spaces must provide a live person (not on phone) within .5 miles of every parking spaces or pay a fee of $10 per space per day to the city so that the city can provide such support through the police.
If they stop writing tickets, that's a lot of revenue that will stop coming in. So I doubt very much that is going to happen.
Greg….I like DoR's Idea.
LAZ and CPM ticket writers are out every day. The Fines go to the City…the Paybox Revenue goes to CPM.
Make CPM patrol the meters. 1 CPM ticket writer per block of meters. For Every Block. From Start time to End time.
No other ticket writing authorization than Expired Meter.
City Clerk doesn't need Ser Co out there when they are hardly doing anything in the first place unless it is the Northside Wards (pathetic people are scared of the South and West Sides where they all live.)
I know I'll get flack for this but parking ticket enforcement is reverse racist. They write tickets in predomantly white areas and downtown. They aren't roaming heavily populated black areas like that for parking tickets. I don't want to hear liberal bs arguments that it's harder for them. If they can afford a car, keep everything up to date, and park it legally.
@ Mike
Not true. City PEA's work everywhere…not just the affluent areas of Chicago.
A gangbanger with a gangbanger-looking car could park it all day at an Englewood bus stop without any chance of a ticket or tow. No ticket writer would risk an assbeating or worse to ticket that car. Contrast that to Lincoln Park where you cannot so much as run into Starbucks for 5 minutes while parked in a loading zone (isn't it for loading?) with flashers on without getting a ticket every time. This policy is certainly not good for commerce in this city, but I guess the Chicago economy is so good that nobody has to care.
DOR, they may be assigned there but I don't see them writing tickets. I agree with Pete. Park illegally in Lincoln Park and there's a ticket waiting for you. Park illegally in Englewood, Garfield Park, or somewhere else and it's way less likely to happen. I've driven down Madison St and particularly from Hamlin/Independence to Keeler where there's a lot of businesses and pay boxes, I've never seen them write tickets and I've seen cars parked illegally all over the place (hydrants, bus stops, double parked, tow zones, etc).
Why can't the city pay back the lease using bonds backed by the higher parking meter fees? LAZ is taking in $100+ million a year compared to $25 million before the deal. and the rates still have another round of increases to go. I really don't see what the problem is. Unless of course City Hall is content with Morgan Stanley and their Arab buddies getting rich…………..

I have very light skin and have a bit of a hard time finding light enough foundations. The lightest shade of this one, Ivory, matched perfectly. I have dry/sensitive skin and a lot of foundations make my skin look even more dry, but this one looks very natural. I apply it with a sponge and I find it's working out very well for me. The only complaint I would have is the packaging. I read somewhere they now have a pump, which is ideal. The one I got doesn't have the pump though, so you have to put it on the back of your hand and try not to pour too much. The foundation itself is so good and the color a very good match so I think I will repurchase when I finish this one.
I got this on sale for $17 ( it's usually $30+ here in Australia) in the lightest shade, Ivory. I had previously been using MAC studio fix fluid in NC15, which was alot more expensive and not better than this.
It has good coverage, definitely buildable but you really need to blend fast as it dries/sets quickly. Packaging is great, also comparable to MAC Studio Fix Fluid. Very sturdy packaging, it travels around in my bag ALOT and never leaks or smashes or anything. Will be buying this again!
Being someone who normally goes for the combination/oily formula, I was reluctant to try the normal/dry one. I wear the shade "Buff", but I recently discovered something a bit odd about the two formulas.The shades in both formulas have the same name, but are two different colors! "Buff" in comb/oily is a fair shade with an olive tint. However,"Buff" in norm/dry is a fair shade with a yellow tint. Normal/dry "Buff" matches my skin tone much better than the combo/oily "Buff". Love it!

First of all, I should have bought the oily skin version, for I have oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin. The shade I got is a bit dark/orange for me, Sand Beige 180 (I'm nw20), but it didn't bother me much. I consider this a light/med coverage and it does not work for me as I have acne and rosacea so I end up applying a lot of it. I don't like it's finish because, duh, it's for normal/dry skin and it obviously didn't last all day. Don't get me wrong, I gave 3 lippies because I think it'll work just fine for those with the right skin type, isn't expensive and did not brake me out.
I'm very impressed by this foundation. I bought it on a whim because I'd heard great reviews from a trusted fellow Aussie Youtuber (Jodik76) and also because it was on sale for AU$25 (normally $36) and I'm so glad I did!
I should clarify that I have OILY skin. I've tried the old version for oily skin and found it incredibly heavy and mask like so I thought I'd try the normal/dry skin formulation. First off, it is full coverage but the satiny finish makes it appear more forgiving and almost natural. I pump (LOVE that the new version comes in a pump bottle) some onto the back of my hand, dab it on my face then buff it all in with a Sigma F80. I top it with a light dusting of powder to set it.
I notice instantly that my pores are less visible and the redness is reduced. I find that a fairly light layer makes for decent coverage but it is buildable for those who want more.
The reason I'm so impressed by this is the lasting power. On my oily skin, the normal/dry formulation lasts ALL day. I apply this at 6am at the start of my day and by 8pm when I get home, it's only a little bit shininer than when I first applied without my having to touch up/powder. My skin remains relatively satiny and oil free which is amazing for me!
As a surgeon, I have to wear a mask all day and most foundations I've tried transfer onto my mask, wearing off in the T-zone and exposing my large pores. This does not budge and I am so impressed!
Will definitely repurchase when this one runs out!

I bought this on accident when attempting to repurchase regular Colorstay. I have it at home, I thought so I might as well try it, given that I am normal to dry anyway. Fail. I can tell within 5 minutes of putting it on that this is nowhere near the regular colorstay, which has me getting compliments on my skin on a regular basis. 1) the color is a touch more than half a shade darker, first problem. Doable in a pinch but not ideal. 2) It is not as much coverage. it is about half as much coverage, and is not buildable. This goes back this afternoon.

Have bought it again, bought it dirt cheap at the Melbourne Show last year and absolutely regretting not stocking up on it! Love it, made my skin feel amazing!
LOVE this foundation
After months and months of putting off buying this product, I finally caved because I just figured why not it was worth a try. Honestly, I have no idea why but I was so dead set against buying this foundation. Perhaps due to it being labelled "full coverage" I was turned off because I don't really like the traditional full/matte/cakey look.
Just a quick background on my skin... Dry to very dry to combination. My cheeks and forehead tend to be relatively normal, with varying degrees of dryness around my nose, chin, and between my eyebrows. I get bad redness where my skin is dry as well as on my cheeks, but not really any blemishes or acne to cover up.
Now for the real review: Before I start, I'd just like to say that I finally bought a moisturizer that is AWESOME. Its the nivea daytime one, can't remember the exact name (comes in a white pot). The comination of moisturizer and foundation is perfect for my skin.
The coverage is amazing. It is definitely full but not cakey. I only ever need one coat, so it might look a little cakey with more than that. With this foundation I only need a little bit of concealer in my problem areas. It doesn't cling to dry patches as I expected it would, but smooths over them wonderfully. Lasting power is amazing, it doesn't come off all day. I actually find this to look more natural on my skin than a handful of medium coverage foundations I have, and even some bb creams.
I have tried basically every other foundation I thought would be compatible with my skin type. The one I was using before (maybelline dream smooth mousse) can't even touch revlon colorstay. I find that because it is so long lasting, it doesn't dry out my skin but locks the moisture in.
I also feel that I should note my application techniques. I apply my revlon colorstay after I have cleansed and moisturized. I've found the best way to apply this and have it look the most natural is with a damp beauty blender sponge. A regular sponge would work well too, I imagine.

I'm on a 5th or 6th bottle of this foundation. I love that it has a satin finish but doesn't make me look shiny. I find that it can look cakey if you apply too much of it so very little goes a long way. I would say this probably stays on about 6-8 hours on me. If I wear a primer underneath, it's longer. I have dry skin and the normal/dry formula works great. I took one lippie off for the bottle with no pump but other than that I love this foundation and find that it's a good buy for the price.
(SORRY FOR THE LONG REVIEW BUT PLEASE READ) Okay so I was a bit hesitant on buying this foundation as my skin isn't too bad, so I usually prefer a lighter coverage foundation, just to even out my skin tone and not feel too heavy. Heavier coverage foundations always look cakey on me, so the slightest bumps and spots are always accentuated. I don't know why. I previously owned the Maybelline Fit Me foundation and loved the light coverage, dewy finish and the colour match system. However, this foundation only stayed on my skin for about 4-5 hours before coming straight off, just during basic school classes. So after hearing so many fantastic reviews on this foundation, I decided to take the plunge and see what the hype was about.
When I first put this on (using my real techniques stippling brush), I loved how easily it glided on and smoothed out, and didn't see the drying speed as too much of an issue. However, after a while I started to get really disappointed as I felt it looked really cakey and uneven and horrible. I took it all off and tried all sorts of different methods of application, until I realised that it was the thickness that was letting me down. I seem to prefer runnier foundations, so I put a blob of the foundation on a plastic container top and mixed in a pea sized amount of primer (I used Rimmel London's Fix & Perfect Pro primer). This worked SO WELL and glided onto my skin beautifully. I brushed it onto my skin using my Bobbi Brown foundation brush then smoothed it in with my hands and loved the finish. It feels so silky on my skin and SO lightweight.
Lastly, the staying power of this is INCREDIBLE. I walked through snow and rain to get home from school and I could barely notice a difference. Obviously some had come off, but there was still plenty left and I didn't look red and flushed like I usually do in bad weather.
Overall, I'm so impressed. I love this, it gives such a beautiful finish and the matte effect still looks natural, contrary to my previous beliefs. I'm so happy I spent the money, I would most definitely repurchase this, and I don't mind the lack of pump one bit. Sorry this is such a long review, but thanks for reading. :)

Case Studies
Model Optimisation
The COO of a relative-value hedge fund was struggling to produce timely mark-to-market reports and his traders were exposed to sudden market moves due to the slow recalculation time taken when refreshing market data in their trading spreadsheets.
As the firm had grown, the spreadsheet system had become slow and unwieldy. This also means that it was difficult to modify and error-prone to manage.
Our consultants audited the spreadsheets for performance and proposed several recommendations for restructuring that cut calculation time by 75%. The audit also uncovered several data errors that were affecting P&L and mark-to-market reports. Maroon then developed a bespoke Excel add-in that contained functions which further reduced update time to a matter of seconds.
Fund Performance Fee Design and Validation
The CFO of a family office fund approached Maroon for assistance in developing their performance fee model. The hedge fund had a unique management contract that required complex calculations to determine both the performance fee itself and the allocation between investors.
Our consultants first worked with the client to clearly define the desired incentives of the fee structure. In preparing the performance fee model, they quickly identified some inconsistencies between the legal agreement and the substance of the management arrangement with investors.
Maroon project-managed a working team that reconciled substance with form, without creating any adverse consequences for manager or investors. Our consultants worked with the client's lawyers to redraft the legal agreement and built a user-friendly performance fee model that met the client's initial requirements.

"When Elijah Snow says, 'The world is a strange place'... he gets Dracula, Doc Savage and Godzilla... When we say it, we get The Captain Fire-Cock Rock 'n' Roll Spectacular." ~Pol Rua
I think Chicago is a smart enough crowd to deal with Punk losing.The Riot will come if Sheamus beats Bryan in 36 seconds with two boots. I see Bryan winning this one with the help of AJ.As long as both men look like they went through hell, I dont think the fans will care if Cena or Brock win, but I still see Cena winning to have that feel good moment.
I'm thinking that, and i knew before he came in and watched some of his japanese matches.
He isn't going to work those kinds of matches in WWE. Also, in japan, he was a lot bigger than the guys he was working with. In WWE, Show is bigger, Kane is bigger, Mark Henry is bigger, fattysaurus is bigger, Alex Riley was taller. Ryback has more muscles.
It's hard to be a standout monster when there are a bunch of guys more monstrous than you.
Nothing's gonna happen without a warning
that's why i brought him up, that's not the case here. it's not just something to say to sound smart, the evidence is right there to be seen by any and all.
he's very damn good but booking and stupid gimmick limit what he can do.Since i'm watching WWE and not some other organisation , i can only comment on what i see. If he's good enough , he can turn his horrible gimmick around.
With all the talk that WWE is pushing him hard , we'll see how far WWE is willing to push Tensei/A-train/Albert.
so if you're not seeing an improvement what is looking at old matches before he improved supposed to prove??
well that's your choice, the proof is there.Until I see him actually do anything cool, it'll remain a myth to me.
he has to be given a real opportunity to do that.
just those who are interested in seeing how much he's improved or doubt me when i tell them he has and deserves better than the stupid gimmick & squashes he's doing.. Be it in the ring or on the mic he's got to do something or the crowd will never get behind him. Or do you suggest every WWE viewer watch his Japanese work?
this is true, it's on WWE to show us why they went after him.

Mr. Backlund continued wrestling under the new gimmick of an out of touch, yet highly dangerous, maniac out to teach the new generation a lesson.[3] He often appeared in business suits, had a hyperactive personality, and used (or, often, misused) large words to sound important. He also demanded that he be addressed as "Mr. Backlund". He would only sign autographs for wrestling fans if they could recite the names of all of the US Presidents in chronological order
I guess im in the minority in not thinking his gimick is particularly stupid.
His gimick is he used to be albert, then he went to japan and killed everyone, now he has a japanese slave and came back here to kill everyone.
Im ok with reality based gimicks.

-Sean Brock Executive Chef, McCrady's Restaurant, Charleston, S.C. James Beard Award Winner: "Rising Star Chef" and "Best Chef Southeast"
Glen Brook maple syrup -- organic, hand-gathered -- is a staple on the Glen Brook breakfast table. Our sugarbush is a mixture of young and mature maples. We tap our trees with a combination of traditional galvanized steel pails and rubber lines so that participants in our surgaring program get the full benefit of operating a traditional operation but also one that utilizes modern methods. Sap is gathered by hand, using a ship's bilge pump to transfer sap into holding tanks, and then into the sugarhouse. Glen Brook's wood-fired evaporator is a 2 1/2-foot by six-foot Dominion & Grimm constructed of an iron arch and stainless steel pans and related components.
Glen Brook runs several sugaring programs, including an intensive three- to five-day school program in which students earn a "sugaring apprentice" certification and a three-day program for youth and families. All programs allow children and adults to participate in sugaring at every level, from tapping trees and gathering sap to cutting wood, feeding the arch, and drawing syrup. And every visiting group earns the ultimate joy of sugaring: fresh maple syrup over hot pancakes.

text: Lucas' accident has brought Marie and Stefan closer. Marie then learns of Stefan's daughter, who disappeared in Haiti. She also fears that she might lose her job on account of Florian's father, who is a member of the clinic's board of directors. But when Florian runs away and is found by Marie, his parents are grateful and decide not to take any legal action against her. Shirley also fears for her job. Since the theft of the pharmaceuticals has yet to be cleared up, she has been put on an indefinite leave of absence. Lucas is in luck: he regains consciousness. The first thing he does is to dress down Vicky, since he wants to return the drugs that she had stolen. Johanna hears that her husband Thomas has been appointed to the BVG in Leipzig and will hardly be home anymore. Meanwhile, Lucas' infection is spreading throughout his leg; he may need an amputation (cliffhanger).

Being ideally prepared means that you also react confidently in hazardous situations. With a perfectly coordinated system of chassis, engine management, brakes, tyres and state-of-the-art measuring technology, the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 also masters extreme situations with self-assurance.
Above a speed of 18 km/h, the system automatically tightens the seat belt slightly. Sensors permanently monitor the driving situation. If active safety detects the threat of a collision via the front camera or front radar, by all-out braking or severe understeering or oversteering, the system reacts at lightning speed: it tightens the seat belts on the front seats, optimises their seating position for a crash, closes side windows and sunroof.
To prevent hazards from arising in the first place, the attentiveness assistant monitors driving behaviour for symptoms of fatigue. The systems analyses the driver's steering behaviour and reacts to any irregularities: by recommending a break in the Control Display.

London's Energy Future
19th March 2012
London's demand for energy resources comes from three primary activities: heating buildings, transport and electricity. London has always imported most of its energy as coal, gas, oil and electricity. Renewing London's energy infrastructure will be vital for maintaining our position as a 'world city' over the next 50 years as the centres of global economic activity shift eastwards. This event brought together sector specialists to debate the technological and policy challenges facing practitioners in the coming years to ensure that London has a forward looking energy strategy, that is resilient to major global shifts.

Her career is having a moment - again
From soap star to Latin rock to American pop
NEW YORK - As a pre-teen, Ximena Sariñana played willful child characters in telenovelas, Mexico's ultra-popular soap operas. As a teenager she went on to complex roles in feature films. In her late teens she fronted a jazz and funk band, and she even spent a semester at Berklee College of Music. At 22 she was playing festivals and headlining major venues behind the whimsically titled "Mediocre,'' her 2008 Grammy and Latin Grammy-nominated solo album of moody, inventive rock.
Now all of 25, Sariñana is starting over. Again.
The budding pop star (who dropped out of Berklee to promote "Medicore'') with the earnest following back home is back on the grind as an opening act, touring the US as the appetizer in a three-act bill, limited to a half-hour set before ceding the stage to Danish singer Oh Land and the headliner, Sia.
The tour visits Boston's House of Blues this evening. The other night at Webster Hall in New York, Sariñana made the most of her assignment, winning over the room with a mix of songs in Spanish from "Mediocre'' and new songs from her English-language debut, which is simply titled "Ximena Sariñana'' and is set for release Tuesday.
Bopping about behind keyboard and laptop, assisted only by her brother Sebastian on another keyboard, she chatted with the crowd- she is bilingual - and talked about each song, exuding genuine simplicity even as she delivered songs that, beneath attractive pop hooks, are harmonically complex and refreshingly varied in spirit - from electro-nerd to pensive singer-songwriter to cosmopolitan chanteuse.
Earlier that day, feet up on a sofa in her record label's offices, wearing the same straightforward outfit she would sport later onstage, with a blue skirt, simple red top and a pair of Toms, Sariñana said she didn't experience being the opener as a demotion.
"My role is to keep it short, simple and be the first one of three,'' she said. "It's good, it's fun because you get to meet people; you have to look at it that way. Everybody has to start somewhere.''
And her new album is in many ways a start. It's all in English, except the dreamy ballad "Tú y Yo,'' produced by her friend, singer Natalia Lafourcade. It was made in Los Angeles with top industry talent and is aimed at the US market.
It's a change from "Mediocre'' in other ways too. Sariñana's voice sounds more assured here and less tempted by ornamentation. And from the jaunty whistling line that opens the first track, "Different,'' the new record is a much more lively affair.
"After a while you just get bored of playing midtempo to slow songs,'' Sariñana said. "I wanted more upbeat music, and I wanted to explore and play more instruments. Those were the things I knew about this record. Everything else just happened.''
Out of the producers her label suggested, Sariñana clicked instantly with Greg Kurstin, an industry veteran who's worked extensively with Lily Allen among others. Though he hadn't heard of her before, Kurstin said the connection was mutual.
"I thought she was great,'' he said. "The songs she was writing were harmonically really interesting. She writes in a very honest way, and plays what she likes. She's very natural, it's like she's playing in your living room. And when I met her, she was so nice.''
One shared affinity was their love for jazz, which Sariñana has studied seriously. She cites Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday as models, and was posting jazz interpretations on YouTube before she became a pop singer.
"Jazz is the genre that I analyze the the most,'' she said. "It's hard for me to shake it off. I'm always looking for the unconventional chord progression. I try to spice it up a little with strange chords.''
As for lyrics, writing in English comes easily to Sariñana. In fact, having spent early childhood in Los Angeles and then attended British schools in Mexico City, she wrote in English first, switching to Spanish because she played in a band with musicians who didn't speak English.
It made sense to make "Mediocre'' in Spanish, she said. "It was time to do my solo record and start my career there, it was kind of the logical step. And Spanish is such a pretty language, and it's my language in the end.''
But writing in English was just as natural - a fact that shows in the new record's lack of any crossover awkwardness. As fluent in American culture as in the language, Sariñana crafts quirky, affecting songs that feel honest and smart, and even takes a knowing dig at self-important LA hipsters on "Echo Park.''
"I built this whole story about falling in love with people for superficial reasons - the classic hipster guy,'' she said. She hastened to point out that Mexico City hipsters can be just as tedious as their LA or New York counterparts.
Sariñana said she hoped to continue working in both languages and maybe, at some point, take up acting again. "I don't even know what I'm doing after October!'' she said. "Maybe it's because I'm young, but I've never planned much ahead.''
In the meantime she's enjoying her dual identity taking shape. She said she might get some backlash from Mexican fans or critics for going American, but that did not worry her much. "I'm really proud of this record and I was proud of the first one,'' she said. "I think talent rises above the ashes, and everything passes.''
She snapped her fingers. "It's pop culture,'' she said. "It goes just like that.''

2013 Ohio Rose crowned at April 19 celebration
The highlight of a festive evening on April 19 celebrating the finest attributes of young women of Irish heritage worldwide occurred when Kelsey Higgins of Springboro was crowned as the 2013 Ohio Rose by 2012 Ohio Rose Ashley Speaker. Higgins' achievement is the first step in a year-long reign that will be punctuated with travel and celebrity appearances. Members of the 2013 "Rose Court" created a very tight field of competition. They are: Mary Clare Cooper of Euclid, Kathleen Drescher of Rocky River, Colleen Gallagher of Fairview Park and Alannah McCarthy of Akron.
Kelsey Higgins is a language arts education major graduating in May from Ohio University. She is active in her sorority, student senate, works as a facilities assistant for the university's recreation center, fashion stylist and teaches Irish dance. Higgins is an avid supporter of Locks of Love. She was among a group of Ohio University volunteers in New Orleans to assist restoration in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
