Prisco probably did the same thing a while back with A. Benn. Doesn't mean a whole lot.
This guy knows his stuff.
Jeff Tuel has beat Manuel out for the starting job anyways, sucks that Manuel went into round 1 which gives Tuel no shot at long term starting for now.

depends who which bank has issued your visa card, any ties with american banks and they will not work, i have a natwest and a tesco credit card. I have phoned both companys and neither could give me any assurancies that their cards would work in cuba, both said try them and see which would b great if the atm swallows your card.
Dear Ann
Thanks for the info it is good to chat with someone who has done the trip the trip notes are good but not always the full story! Was the trip tiring are there lots of early starts? And did the hotels have any laundry facilities? Was the tropicana worth a visit?
I am looking forward to it as think it will be a bit quirky!
Best wishes
I did not find the trip tiring- some early starts but nothing too bad - usual leave at 8 or 9. There are some long bus journeys so if you are lucky enough to be able to read on a bus (unlike me) take a good book other wise mp3 or audio books were good. I have to confess I never use laundry facilities when away so not sure but some of the hotels you stay in (or at least we did) are 4/5* and would def have these facilities - all assuming you are there long enough. The hotels we stayed in Santiago De Cuba and Havana were both Meile and very top market I think there was only 1 "basic" one. I chose not to go to the tropicana as I felt it was too expensive but everyone to their own. I also chose the free day in Havana because I LOVED the city but those who did the optional that to to Vineales (sp?) said that that was good also. Its a great trip and and you really get to see a great deal of the country - when are you going? I myself am off next month (with exodus of course) to Kenya/Rwand/Uganda and have just been to the docs and had three injections this afternoon in prep
Dear Ann
Thanks for the tips I dont usually use the laundry either but there are only a few 2 nighters so thought it might be an idea this time will see how it works out. I agree about the tropicana but will see how i feel it is very expensive and I know my husband wont go! We will probably do the vinales trip and the el yunque one you did - we go next sunday 30th so coming up quite soon! I may have a few more questions hope you dontmind otherwise hope you enjoy your next trip too sounds good lots of animals no doubt! I expect you had to have yellow fever jab? Best wishes kate
Thanks Kate for the reply, was talking with my Bank, Will order some CUC from the bank and that shoukd solve the problem, while on the trip will get a handle as to the ATM's.
Thanks Again.
Not sure if you can order CUC in the UK but you can get it easily on arrival at the airport in Havana and at the hotel when you check in in Havana-hope this helps-have a great trip
Just some advice regarding changing money, if I may.
Most hotels, and certainly those in Havana have a currency conversion office. DON'T USE THE ONE AT THE AIRPORT or you will be about 10% in the hole before you start.
They will exchange just about any currency, but the preferred currency is the Euro. If you are changing US Dollars, be aware that there is a 10% surcharge on top of the exchange rate. $1 = 80 CUC (that is CUban Convertible Pesos). Each CUC = 26 CUP (Cuban Pesos, used by the residents). If you are traveling from the US, you really should get to your bank and convert money into Euros before going. The difference is 10% and you don't get it back when you exchange on the way out.
Even though they are not supposed to accept US$, they do, but they are not happy because they also lose the 10%.
You will use the CUC everywhere. If you go to a farmer's market, for instance, all the prices are in CUPs, so if you buy 6 tangerines @ 2 pesos each, they are CUPs and that would amount to one half CUC and you would get change back in CUPs. For the most part, however, the CUP is a local currency and you won't be involved in using them. Just consider them to be Monopoly money and keep a couple for mementos.
Again, with regards to ATM and Credit Cards, even if your bank is in the UK, if there is a branch in the US, your card are likely to be refused. Be sure that your bank has no branches in the US to be 100% sure.
As to costs, we were there for 14 days in December on a medical-humanitarian trip and had permission from the US State Dept. to travel. I spent about $400 during that time, but our breakfasts and dinners were included in the trip cost. I would guess that if you plan on 30 Euros a day, for meals, drinks and extras, you will be in the ballpark. Of course, if you plan on dancing the night away and spending a lot of time in the bars and nightclubs and have several cigars a day, you might want to double that. We were in Havana for all but 4 days and those were in Trinidad de Cuba on the south shore.
Beautiful Island, beautiful people, very friendly and outgoing.... the infrastructure is crumbling. The average Cuban earns less than 15 Euros a month. An orthopaedic surgeon might make as much as 25 Euros. People leave the professions and become tour operators or guides so that they earn tips in addition to their government salary.
There are now private restaurants, owned by homeowners who have passed government inspection. One of these is La Casa Restaurant, Calle 30 #865, e/ 26 y 41, Habana Nuevo Vedado. It is superb and I highly recommend it if you have the time.
Bon voyage.

Troy Ball handcrafts each batch of her potent elixirs with genetically unmodified bushels of heirloom white corn and pure water from the Blue Ridge Mountains, earning her white whiskey a silver medal from the 2011 New York International Spirits Competition for its signature smoothness. During distillery tours, guides lead up to 30 guests on a sojourn through the facility's labyrinth of gleaming copper stills. After the walkthrough, guests and Prohibition-era time-travelers aged 21 and older may choose to sample a selection of white whiskeys, which can include special, unreleased batches. Visitors also receive two engraved alder-wood bottle tags to take home, helping them to finally differentiate between whisky and turpentine hidden in whiskey bottles.

A rustic tasting room puts visitors in relaxation mode, while they sip sangiovese, pinot grigio, and Asti-style spumante from complimentary tasting glasses or prepare to engage the gift shop's stuffed bear in staring contests. Behind the scenes, guests can see the polished, stainless-steel drums that press the grapes and store the wines, and observe as each bottle is capped, not corked. Butterflies captured by nature photographer Patricia Ferguson grace Hillside's wine labels, adding a delicate note to each wine's flavor profile.

The winery offers a wide variety of apple wines with flavors complicated by the inclusion of such fruits as pomegranate, raspberry, and strawberry.

I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 10 andI have 720 p video that I exported to standard mpeg. ( so I can eventually burn to a regulara dvd as I do not have BlueRay capabilities. ) When viewing this downgraded non-HD file for the first time on Windows Media player, I was horrifed with how pixelated it looked. However, when I played it on a second computer, it did not look nearly as bad as on this compter, it was not getting stretched to fill the full wide screen. So I think the key is to make sure the eventual dvd gets letterboxed so it does bot try to fill up my entire screen on a hd tv? Does my logic make sense and if so, is there a wy to insure a letterboxed version after burning?
Thanks for your time!
MPEGs are interlaced, so they're going to look a bit sketchy on a computer screen, depending on which video player you're using to play them. Also, remember that your standard def video is only going to have about one-fourth the resolution of your original footage.
That said, there's no reason to go through the extra step of outputting an MPEG to create a DVD. You can Share/Disc/DVD directly from your original video.
BTW, the quality of your output in version 10 is affected pretty dramatically by your project settings. Did you select project settings for 720p when you first started your Premiere Elements project? You can see your project settings under the Edit menu. Remember, the closer your project settings match your source footage, the better your results will be.
Hey Steve,
Yup, I m using a 720 p project settings and I exported my movie in the avchd area as both an mp4 abd m2t, both at 720p. But I thought I had to make an standard size mpeg version to get it on a physical dvd. Can I work off the mp4 file to do that? Will the dvd automatically reduce the size of the screen and put in the black bars if I watch on my HDTV?
Thanks so much for your help!
I see that now! I completed missed the "disk"section. So I have 3 options in the dropdown:
I can't do BluRay because I don't have a Blu Ray Burner, part of my original issue. So it's between dvd abd ACHD right now. What is the diference and what would you recommend for my situation?
Thanks so much!!
Okay great . Good to know.
So even though the dvd choice is not HD, I am still given the option of wide screen in the dropdown. Since I am downgrading my 720p, would it make sense to not choose wide screen? Would there be less degradation with a smaller frame?
Thanks again for your time:)

DEERFIELD, Ill. -- Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose says he's "far away" from returning from knee surgery.
Sidelined all season, Rose has been practicing and travelling with the team. But in an interview with USA Today posted on Tuesday, he says he has no specific timetable for a return.
Rose says he's not coming back until he's "110 per cent" and adds, "Who knows when that will be?" He says it could be any day, within a few weeks or even next year. Asked how close he is to 110 per cent, he responded "probably in the high 80s. Far away. Far away."
Rose tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during last year's playoff-opening win over Philadelphia, and the top-seeded Bulls wound up losing to the 76ers.

G-Dragon says he always lost to Taeyang during YG trainee battles
Mnet's 'WIN' is currently experiencing a battle between Team A and Team B as coached by Big Bang's Taeyang and G-Dragon respectively.
On September 20, a past picture of the two mentors as YG Entertainment trainees was revealed on the show.
G-Dragon said that during their six years of training, the boys had their own team battles. He continued, "I remember that I always lost when I wasn't on Taeyang's team during our training period. It feels like meeting a soccer coach," expressing how he looks up to his fellow group member for his impressive skills.
Perhaps G-Dragon's team will finally beat Taeyang's on 'WIN.' Stay tuned for the conclusion to this epic battle between Team A and Team B.

· Posted September 21, 2013 @ 12:08 pmi think team a won this battle in gd team vs taeyang team..if team b won again, team a will really losing the confidence of viewer and the voters..that would be really bad for them and also bad for ksy solo..i m 100% sure team a won this battle..team b currently win, team b daum cafe fan increase and higher than team a..and yg also point out team b doing better than team a..team b vocal maybe not strong, because 3 of them only enter yg last year and also they dont even have dream to be a singer but suddenly they involve in singing..in my opinion they doing very good job in singing and improves in short of time, if you give them more time i m sure they will be more powerful group , more likely they need more training and we need to think that they also need catch up those that spend their most of time learning how to sing,how to dance in YG...and for team a, i dont know why i feel very sorry toward this team..they r talented, but not as the team...maybe as individual.
well, just my opinion after watch 5 episode...
· Posted September 21, 2013 @ 11:11 amI wonder are there any composers in the groups? Dancing is Taeyang's passion. Composing is GD's passion.

SAN JOSE Todd McLellan was blunt about the task ahead.
"We haven't accomplished anything," the Sharks' coach said Monday. "We didn't get our work done in L.A., and that put us behind the eight ball. The fact that we won Game 3 that's great, but we still are behind in the series, and the series is getting shorter."
The best-of-seven matchup with the Los Angeles Kings continues with tonight's Game 4 at HP Pavilion. History explains the importance of San Jose evening things up with a second victory. Only 9.2 percent of the 262 NHL teams trailing a series 3-1 have come back to win it.
"We've just got to find a way to get even," McLellan said. "If our intensity or urgency drops because we've won a single game, I would be disappointed in our group."
His players know where they stand in the series, of course. But that is somewhat offset by the sense that they have more than held their own against the defending Stanley Cup champions.
"We felt we've been the better team through three games, and unfortunately we're down 2-1," defenseman Dan Boyle said. "I think we're going to see a better team (tonight) from their side, so we're going to have to raise our game even more."
Both coaches were dealing with lineup changes, though only the Kings' Darryl Sutter was ready to make a commitment, declaring forward Kyle Clifford is ready to play after dealing with an upper-body injury.
For the Sharks, McLellan indicated he might use seven defensemen and go with Jason Demers as the replacement for once-again injured forward Marty Havlat. Demers practiced on both the blue line and up front Monday, and McLellan indicated he could be used in both spots.
"I'll go in wherever they want me to right now," said Demers, who has not played since suffering an ankle injury April 18. The defenseman has played a few games at forward before, late in 2009-10 and the postseason that followed.
While McLellan's defensemen have stayed healthy and out of trouble, his forwards have provided the challenge with problems created by injuries to Havlat and Adam Burish as well as the suspension of Raffi Torres.
"It affects us in a few different ways," McLellan said of missing 25 percent of his forwards. "Pairs that we've used on a regular basis for penalty kill and power play units, that kind of stuff. But every team is going through it."
Red Wings 3, Blackhawks 1 in Detroit Gustav Nyquist and Drew Miller scored 31 seconds apart midway through the second period, and Pavel Datsyuk restored a two-goal lead in the third to help Detroit beat Chicago and take a 2-1 lead in the second-round series.
Ducks Defenseman Francois Beauchemin has undergone successful reconstructive surgery on a ligament in his right knee.
Beauchemin hopes to return in time for the start of next season.

Elizabeth Gertrude Britton (née Knight) | |
Born | New York City, New York, United States |
January 9, 1857
Died | February 25, 1934 The Bronx, New York, United States |
(aged 77)

Author abbreviation (botany) | E.Britton |
Elizabeth Gertrude Britton (née Elizabeth Gertrude Knight) (January 9, 1857 – February 25, 1934) was an American botanist, bryologist and educator born in New York City. She and her husband, Nathaniel Lord Britton played a significant role in the fundraising and creation of the New York Botanical Garden.[1]
Personal life[edit]
She spent her childhood in Matanzas, Cuba and New York City, and graduated from Hunter College in 1875. On August 27, 1885 she married Nathaniel Lord Britton.
Scientific Career[edit]
She and her husband travelled to the Kew Gardens in 1888, which led to her inspiration to found a similar garden in New York. Both were members of the Torrey Botanical Club at the time they married. Her early specialty was bryology, and she later became honorary curator of mosses at the New York Botanical Garden. She founded the Sullivant Moss Society, which later became the American Bryological and Lichenological Society.[2]
In 1902, Britton founded the Wildflower Preservation Society of America.
Elizabeth Britton published more than 350 papers. The moss genus Bryobrittonia is named after her, as well as the moss species Dryopteris brittonae Sloss, Goniopteris brittonae (Sloss.) Ching, Thelypteris brittonae (Sloss.) Alain, and the orchid Ponthieva brittonae Ames.[3]

Thermal Dip Pen Nanolithography for Direct Writing of Polymer-NanoParticle Composites
Lee et. al. demonstrated a maskless, additive approach for direct writing of a range of NP–polymer compositions using thermal dip-pen nanolithography (tDPN). This technique represents a facile strategy for deposition of a wide range of NP composite materials in order to create dense nanopatterned films. |
Reviewed by Jeff Morse, Ph.D, National Nanomanufacturing Network
Controlled nanoparticle (NP) assemblies have a range of applications for electronics, optical devices, and sensors. While NP positioning with atomic force microscope tips has been demonstrated to provide extreme accuracy, patterning rates are not viable for high rate nanomanufacturing. Particle driven and templated assemblies of NPs provide an additional means of creating precision NP compositions, but require custom chemistries for each NP material and compositional makeup or a templated patterning to facilitate assembly. Furthermore, the overall fabrication becomes quite complex as chemistry, patterning, additive, and subtractive process steps must be integrated, with each step increasing the probability for cross contamination of the composite matrix or degradation of the NPs.
Recently, Lee et. al. demonstrated a maskless, additive approach for direct writing of a range of NP–polymer compositions. In this work, the authors investigated the controlled assembly of the NP and NP-polymer composites by adjusting tip temperature and speed. In order to demonstrate the versatility of this approach, several materials compositions were investigated, including poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with Fe2O3 NPs, polyethylene with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots, metallorganic tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum mixed with the piezoelectric polymer P(VDF-TrFE), and Au NPs mixed with the undoped conductive polymer PDDT. The authors achieved direct write line-widths of the NP-polymer composites on the order of 100nm. In order to obtain NP patterns, the polymer matrix was selectively removed using an oxygen plasma etch step. As an example, after removal of the PMMA matrix, it was observed that the remaining Fe2O3 NP trace was significantly narrower than the original composite pattern, in this case the pattern was reduced from 360 nm to 10 nm in width. Thus NP concentration or focusing is possible.
In order to better understand and possibly control the NP focusing effect, the authors suggested that the critical balance between NP diffusion and shear flow as the particles are dispersed enables the concentration and alignment for NP assembly. The effect would ultimately have dependencies on solution chemistry, NP size and functionality, and solution viscosity, which could be controlled in part by tip temperature and write speed. The authors demonstrated that write speeds of ~200 µm/sec for polymer blends, but only <2 µm/sec for NP-polymer composites. This technique represents a facile strategy for deposition of a wide range of NP composite materials in order to create dense nanopatterned films. The process has further demonstrated critical features of 10nm for patterned NPs exploiting the shear flow focusing effect, and 78 nm for as deposited NP-polymer composites. This approach further provides a complimentary tool for more complicated integration approaches incorporating top down and bottoms up processes.

COLUMBIA, SC — The Colonial Life Arena, the 18,000-seat venue on Lincoln Street in the Vista, opened in 2002. The arena was built by USC as a home for the Gamecock men's and women's basketball teams — and as a venue to attract top-tier concert tours. The arena succeeded early.
In April 2004, Aerosmith, Prince, Kenny Chesney (with Keith Urban and Dierks Bentley), Shania Twain and Jimmy Buffett performed at the arena, making it No. 1 in ticket sales in the country for the month, according to Venues Today. In August of that year, the arena stopped selling tickets through Ticketmaster and started using its own system. Eight years later, the system is still in place.
The arena isn't just music and sports. WWE, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus, Cirque Du Soleil, Monster Jam, conventions and more have held events at the arena.
In November, Tom Paquette, the only general manager the Colonial Life Arena had known in its existence to that point, announced he was leaving to become the vice president and general manager for San Antonio's AT&T Center, home of the NBA franchise San Antonio Spurs.
Lexie Boone was announced as Paquette's replacement in January, effectively naming him the leader for the arena's second decade. We talked to Boone, who had previously worked at the Global Spectrum-managed arena, about the arena's impact thus far and, well, moving forward.
The Colonial Life Arena has made a significant impact in the city. You were here during the building's infancy. Has the building done what it set out to do?
I think it has. That's not to say every year is a homerun year. Overall, if you look at the 10 years as a whole, it's a pretty good plate there.
What makes things work here?
It's always keeping up with what's going on in the industry and just competing at a higher level. There's more competition regionally than when we opened. We build the relationship (with promoters and performers), maintain the relationship and prove that we can sell tickets.
Kenny Chesney is coming back on May 4. The relationship with The Messina Group, Chesney's promoters, and Chesney himself, is one of the reasons he wanted to book another show at Williams-Brice Stadium.
I think (Chesney) can tell the fans of Columbia and the region are unlike fans elsewhere. They really embrace him. They have a special relationship.
You're celebrating the first 10 years, but I'm sure you're already looking to the next 10. How does one plan for a decade of music and various other entertainment?
It's tough to plan anything 10 years out. It's like I tell my staff there, this is the beginning of the next 10 years. We're a market that can sustain various levels of entertainment and various genres. We want to be everything to everybody. We want the 3-4,000 seat shows.
Country is still king at the building — and in Columbia, in some ways. Is it a bad thing for the arena to be known for its country lineup?
Absolutely not. But I don't want opportunities to go elsewhere because we do a lot of country. I think, in general, country has proven across the board that fans will sustain the shows. We're not being pigeonholed into the country genre. That's why we will do more shows like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam.
Drake was such a successful show in February. Not just the overall production, but in attendance, which exceed 8,000. On Tuesday, you'll host Rick Ross, a frequent Drake collaborator. What are your expectations for the show — and urban music going forward at the building?
I don't think it's going to be the number of people that came to Drake. I think it will be a good crowd. Probably 3 or 4,000, and it will be a good show. I think we've proven that we can sell the amount of tickets that make these shows successful.
So many people are sharing their memories with the arena. Give me one of yours.
Bruce Springsteen, the first show that was open to the public (Dec. 9, 2002). I heard a lot about him, but had never seen one of his shows. It was an eye opening experience.

As a 66 year old widower I purchased a Tenga Flip hole massager, it was like being married all over again, who needs a woman when you have one of these.
Review by: freddieThis toy took my masturbation to a new level, something I'd never experienced before only via woman, and even that sometimes didn't quite compete. Not quite as fun as a woman mind, but I must say, this feels fantastic. Best tried with wild lube.
Review by:You'll never feel anything as real as this. Sensational device!!
Review by: Tommy M WI've long heard rave reviews of Tenga, and now I own my own! It's so easy to use and very easy to keep clean. I'm amazed at the sensations I feel as I slip into the masturbator. Nubs, ridges, and lots of texture to arouse me to the max! It's so much like a real pussy but better. The vibrations and sucking sensation make my sexual experience even more earth-shattering than I thought it would be. This Tenga Flip Hole is worth the money I paid for it. It's tight, long, and sensational.

Shake it up, 5 ways: Fashionable trends for the new year
TORONTO -- Sweats? Sweaters? Suits? Or T-shirts and jeans?
Comb through your closet and undoubtedly clues will emerge of which well-worn items stacked in multiples may rank among your fashionable favourites.
A go-to ensemble is not unlike having a stylish daily uniform that offers a sense of comfort and familiarity to the wearer.
But if it's on your New Year's to-do list to shake up your style or you're merely looking to accentuate a tried-and-true look, you're in luck: the range of ripped-from-the-runway options is extensive.
Yet for some, the prospect of sifting through a sea of apparel and accessory offerings on store shelves may seem a bit daunting.
Well, fear not, fashionistas. Barbara Atkin, vice-president of fashion direction for Holt Renfrew, fashion and media maven Jeanne Beker, LouLou editor-in-chief Julia Cyboran and Hello! Canada fashion and beauty editor Julia Seidl share their suggestions of five fashionable trends worthy of trying in 2013.
1. The tunic. Whether worn with sleeves or without, the loose-fitting garment was featured prominently on runways at home and abroad, perhaps most notably in Milan among the colourful, luxe looks unveiled from Italian fashion house Gucci.
"In the past, it may have looked like a little mini-dress. But today, we're going to layer it over a skinny legging or that new knee-length bicycle short," says Atkin. "The tunic is really looking new."
Atkin says the garment can be paired with a skirt as well -- be it a slim pencil silhouette or a flirtier version -- and will be seen in soft, easy silks, sheers or even more constructed fabrics like cotton.
2. Transparency. See-through accessories give a whole meaning to the phrase "barely there."
"It's anything from the new Lucite heel to an actual transparent shoe that is made of PVC or vinyl," says Atkin of the look that she describes as the "new neutral." Tote bags and belts are also popping up in PVC fabrications, she notes.
But for those concerned about their valuables being visible within a transparent bag, Atkin suggests purchasing different prints from the fabric store to line the interior. Individuals could also consider placing a small fabric or drawstring bag within the tote or carry-all to discreetly house the contents inside, she adds.
"You can change it up, and that's such an inexpensive way of doing it."
Atkin says the transparency trend is apparent in apparel as well, with sheer fabrics and sheer insets being seen in clothing.
It's a sentiment echoed by Seidl, who has seen many dresses with geometric cutouts and flashes of skin in garments for the year ahead that are "sexy but not too revealing."
"We saw a lot of sheer panelling as well. So we saw a cutout, but we saw a panel of a sheer fabric covering it," Seidl says. "You got a hint of it without it being too in your face, so that's kind of a way to pull off the look if you are a bit more conservative."
3. Headwear. While the young New York socialites of Gossip Girl may be heading off the airwaves, fashion fans can still channel their inner Blair Waldorf by sporting a style popularized by the teen soap: headbands.
Seidl says she's liking mod-style headbands such as those spotted on the spring runway at Louis Vuitton with pretty, bow details. Young starlets like Elle Fanning are also being seen wearing full-wrap, elastic fabric versions of the accessory, she notes.
For those on the hunt for a new topper or looking to try their hand, er, head, at sporting a hat, the fedora may be just the ticket.
At Hedi Slimane's debut show at Saint Laurent Paris this fall, Atkin says every model was sporting the headpiece. "Literally, the next day in Paris, every woman on the street pulled out their fedora or went looking for one."
She believes the new incarnation of the felt fedora is a fresh take on a familiar item and one that will "become seasonless."
"We have seen women wearing fedoras, but not like this, not this really kind of wide brim floppy one. And it's going to be a really simple, easy one for everyone, (to wear)," she said of the style, which she described as having a "hippy chic feeling to it."
4. Peplum. It's prime time to get ruffled. Expect to see plenty more peplum in 2013, as the ruffle or short overskirt that attaches to the waistlines of garments is set to make an even bigger sartorial splash in the new year.
"Peplum has been dominant now for the last few runway seasons and it's not going away," says Cyboran. "We saw it again on the spring 2013 runways and it's something that has finally translated to the market. So we're seeing them everywhere and we've become comfortable with that silhouette -- and it's a silhouette that can really flatter."
The peplum can add a touch of feminine appeal to a silhouette by cinching at the waist, she noted.
"The peplum is a great piece because it can be dressed up and it can be dressed down," says Cyboran. "One of my recommendations would be to invest in a peplum, be it a skirt, a dress -- even jackets now have a bit of a peplum feel to it."
5. Go bold. The movement towards embracing richer shades in the wardrobe that was prominent in 2012 will continue in earnest in the new year in an unexpected way: leather.
While black and brown are standard in leather looks, new collections from Toronto-based Lucian Matis and New York label Proenza Schouler featured vibrant shades like red and mustard, notes Seidl.
"It's kind of in this rainbow of colours and also the different textures," she says, pointing to the use of croc-embossed patterns seen in select leather creations.
For those seeking something similarly striking, Beker suggests opting for a bold or graphic piece to add pop to pre-existing ensembles.
"I think those are the kind of things that can give a lift to your whole wardrobe that is composed mostly of little black dresses," she says. "If you have just the right scarf, for example, with a big graphic black-and-white check, that could sort of elevate it to a whole other level."

Greetings, welcome to the new blog site. Let's see how this goes.
Alagasco will soon become part of the bringham skyline. The utility is now working on installing the first of three signs atop the Sixth Avenue North building on Arrington Jr. Boulevard. Just another sign ... or three … that gas rates are too high.
A new badge of shame for Jefferson County? That's what a federal judge says. The County has been found in contempt of a federal hiring order, so an appointed receiver will now oversee all hiring and promotions to ensure women and minorities are considered on an equal basis. Concerning employees working licenses and tag renewals, they must now prove they can uphold the same level of bitter incompetence and entitlement that surpasses all bounds of race and sex.
Having no pressing concerns, President Obama yesterday hosted a football team that hasn't been relevant since 1985. The undefeated, untied Miami Dolphins 1972 team got the star treatment at the White House, featuring a 4:30PM dinner at Golden Corral and a case of Ensure. Three players did not attend due to their political beliefs ... and the fact they were stuck in the turn-lane with their blinker on for 5 miles trying to get out of Miami-Dade County.
Two teens are in custody after lifeguards claim they brought homemade bombs to a beach in Gulf Shores. The devices were soda bottles containing what authorities called "household chemicals." The Mobile Bomb Squad responded. , Diet Coke and Mentos are *technically* household chemicals but do we really need to call the EPA and FEMA when someone mixes them together? "Hey Mom guess what I learned how to make in school today? And BTW, the cops want to speak with you."
Public health officials in Iowa have issued a warning after a woman actually bought a tapeworm online and swallowed it in a very misguided effort to lose weight! Doctors say if you want lose weight, stick to less dangerous methods like crack cocaine.
The London City Hall took a major step in ensuring that humankind becomes obsolete by replacing their receptionist with a hologram. Administrators say the "virtual assistant" is much cheaper than a human employee even though it can only ask customers "are you John Conner?"
And a few things you need to know…
On this very day back in 1858, the first of the many famous Lincoln-Douglas debates took place. Lincoln won the debates, but over the next several decades, Douglas saw a whole lot more plays.
Actress Carrie-Anne Moss from "The Matrix" turns 46 today. The only Neo she sees these days has a last name of Sporin.
You may have heard 87-year-old Dick Van Dyke was pulled to safety after his Jaguar burst into flames. Investigators suspect the cause of the freak fire might have been a smoldering ember from Van Dyke's chim-chimney, chim-chimney, chim-chim-cheroo. Van Dyke reports his Jag was making an odd noise before the fire. He says it sounded like "chitty chitty bang bang." *
An unidentified man committed suicide at the home of Olivia Newton-John while she and her husband were away. For now, he's an Olivia Newton-John Doe.
Scientific researchers say that camels may be responsible for spreading a MERS virus that's infected 94-people in the Middle East and killed half of them. I think I'd walk a mile to avoid a camel. Most of the people infected with the virus were camel handlers. I don't even want to know what these guys do on "hump" day.
Because the dollar coin has been such a huge hit in its past incarnations, some U.S. Senators want to push it on us again. They claim the U.S. could save $5.6-billion by replacing the dollar bill with a dollar coin. It might actually work this time if they add a small hinge in the middle of the coin so it can be folded over a G-string.
Going to go out on a limb here and guess this event won't be sponsored by Chick Fil A. George "Captain Sulu" Takei will try to set a Guinness Book record at the Cincinnati Oktoberfest by leading the audience in the "World's Largest Chicken Dance." Set your phasers to fabulous! Those against gay rights plan to counter the event with the "World's Largest Turducken Dance." That's where you take a Chicken Dance, shove it into a Duck Dance, and then shove that whole thing into a Turkey Dance.
* Apologies for the painfully obvious ending to an already painfully obvious joke from yesterday.

Time to get out and hit those "After Olympics" sales!
The Sochi winter Olympics are history – along with them: jokes about tainted tap water, crumbling infrastructure, pink-eye, feral animals and corruption. Now, the US and Russia can stop competing in the games and get back to interfering in Ukraine. Protestors there have toppled a statue of Lenin, hitting it with hammers. I would have taken out the Paul McCartney one first. I still can't believe Ukraine's now-missing president once planned to open the Chernobyl site to tourists. It's like Disney World, but the 6 foot mouse is real. I used to work with a guy from Kiev. He took an eye test, the last line read "C Z W I X T A C Z." Not only could he read it, it was his last name.
Capital One is being questioned about language in their customer contracts that says the company may contact them with a personal visit. Fall far enough behind on your bill and they send out the Vikings. Or worse: Alec Baldwin.
Ted Nugent is catching heat because he apologized for calling President Obama a "subhuman mongrel." Nugent admitted he crossed the line. Ted probably should have seen the line he was crossing. I mean, he was holding a big, burning cross at the time. I'm not going to make up my mind on this one until I hear what Eddie Money has to say about it.
A new study by the Mayo clinic says the average obese woman in the U.S. gets only 1-hour of vigorous exercise per year. And the only reason those obese women participated in the study is because they thought there was some mayo in it for them.
A $600-million-dollar downtown Miami construction project is temporarily on hold because excavators at the worksite discovered an ancient Native American city on the property. The developers want to go on with the project because they see it as a big moneymaker, and because they haven't seen "Poltergeist."
And a few things you need to know …
On this date in 1903 the United States acquired a naval station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Cuban officials said negotiating the contract was torture. Hmmmmm. Hey wait.
On this date in 1981, Buckingham Palace announced the engagement of Prince Charles to Lady Diana. If there was ever a time for a Hot Tub Time Machine, this was it. Somebody go back and warn her!
Some school boards in the Northeast are increasing class time by shortening recess by 15-minutes. It's all part of the "No Child Ever Gets Up From His Behind" law.
First it was Bob Costas with pinkeye, now ESPN host Keith Olbermann has been off the air several days with a bad case of the shingles. Is it possible Rush Limbaugh has developed a chemical weapon that attacks only liberal sports broadcasters?
A new wine produced by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got rave reviews and sold out almost immediately. No wonder they adopt so many kids; they need the forced child labor.
Samsung is unveiling its Galaxy S5 today. That sound you hear is your phone becoming obsolete.
A Florida man who is 101-years old is running for Congress. The guy is serious, and he's very interesting. He still has his original phone number. It's "3." Seriously, this guy is so old "Jurassic Park" brought back fond memories. His memory is in black and white. He's so old he knew Burger King back when he was just a prince. BOOM. He's got an autographed copy of the Bible. We're talking old. One time he walked into an antique store and they kept him. Ba-dum tssss!
And … A new version of "Celebrity Poker" is being shopped around Hollywood. This one's called "Celebrity Adoption Poker." What in the world? "I see your African peasant boy and raise you a set of Romanian twins." "Celebrity Adoption Poker" may take up the time slot on the Game Show network currently held by "Little Orphan Ante."

PENTAGON: Last year, the sudden budget cuts known as sequestration forced the Army to cancel crucial training for 78 percent of its combat brigades.

Morgan's best friend's grandfather passed away yesterday. We've known the family since before both girls were born. Even though not unexpected as he had been ill for some time, it's still a very sad occasion.

An embossed oval shape and scalloped mat frame the image. The flower head was stamped again on an ivory scrap, colored in, trimmed, and adhered over the image with a dimensional foam dot.
Graphic 45 patterned paper, a contrasting green strip and a simple striped grosgrain bow complete the card front. Corner rounded sides tie into the scalloped mat and images on the patterned paper.
The finished size is 4.5" x 6.25"
Rest in peace, Don.
Supplies not mentioned:
Cardstock all by GinaK Designs: Pure Luxury Sweet Corn, Green Apple, Onyx Black
Ribbon by May Arts
Nestabilities Oval and Scalloped Oval die, Cuttlebug
