Fashion Trend: Flats
I remember a time when flats were considered casual. Women wouldn't dare attend a cocktail party wearing shoes that didn't contain at least a tiny heel. Flats were the footwear women secretly changed out of before walking into a major event, and then changed back into when the night was over. Now, flats are in, and can look just as stylish as a fabulous pair of heels. Here are some flats that will keep you looking glam while wearing that cocktail dress. Try pointy flats that add a bit of sophistication to the casual flat, or solid colorblocking to spice it up a bit.
Celeb-spiration: America Ferrera's Red and Black Polka Dot Print
America Ferrera looked amazing as she arrived outside the ITV Studios. Here's how you can copy her look. But, it you don't want to make the celebrity splurge, I also provided some options that incorporate the same pattern (black polka dots against red) that will be much friendlier on your wallet.
For $498.00 (on sale by the way, it retails for $995), you too can own a blouse straight from Dolce & Gabbana's Spring-Summer collection. It features a round collar and 3/4 length sleeves.
Not all of us can afford to spend $500 just on one shirt. Just because America rocked an expensive blouse, doesn't mean you can't draw inspiration from her look to cater it in a way that works for you – make the black polka dots on red look work for you without breaking the bank with one of these options.
Take the style a bit further by wearing the pattern as a dress:
With the 4th of July coming up, I think this pattern is a winner for the summer.
Celeb Style Steal: Taylor Swift's Black Romper
Taylor Swift looked amazing as she entered a NYC gym on June 14th wearing a classic black romper, a perfect outfit for a warm summer day. Steal her look with one of these sleek one-pieces.
Statement Necklaces from Paula and Chlo
Now that summer is finally here, you can wear your best outfits for all to admire, but no outfit is ever complete without the right accessories. Jazz up your wardrobe with one of the below statement necklaces from Paula and Chlo, a Michigan based online e-tailer started by 52-year old Paula Slof, who developed the website for the modern contemporary woman to shop for everything from handbags to handmade soaps. These top necklace picks from the site conjure up summertime with gorgeous floral designs.
Finding the perfect Hat for the Kentucky Derby
This week I will be attending a Kentucky Derby themed party, so naturally, I had to begin looking for the fashion accessory that's most associated with the women who attend the event – the big, fancy, hat. The extravagant hat tradition dates back to 1711 when Queen Anne enforced a strict dress code which mandated the public wear hats in her presence. Years later, headwear still remains a staple at the event, and steals more attention than the races. Below are some of the hats I think would be perfect for the special occasion.
Can You Repeat Your Favorite Wedding Guest Dress?
Accessorize to Give New Life to Old Dresses
Wedding season is upon us, ladies. Your fridge door is crowded with save-the-date cards and fancy invitations to the dozens of spring and summer weddings of your friends and relatives.
Your first thought? "What will I wear?"
It's actually a more serious question that it seems – with each new nuptial you attend, you have to plan out a dress, a purse, jewelry, and shoes that all look great together and make you feel gorgeous. And each of these ensembles comes with a pretty hefty price tag.
What stops you from befriending the local dry cleaner and wearing the same getup to every wedding are the overlapping guest lists and the corresponding fear that your repeat outfit will be the stuff of catty restroom chatter.
This wedding season, instead of dropping half of your paycheck on a new dress for every event, find fun ways to give a previously-worn frock new life.
Tailor Made
We all have those beloved dresses that fit us like a glove – the problem is that we can't get away with wearing them even one more time without people noticing. This is where your local tailor steps in and gives your old dress the Cinderella treatment.
A great tailor can transform your dress in a way that leaves all the things you love intact. Your options here are endless, but it really depends on the dress. Whatever you do, find a seamstress you can trust by checking out online reviews or seeking referrals from friends; you don't want to put your favorite frock in the hands of just anyone.
Here are a few examples of transformative alterations:
• Have a long dress shortened
• Add cute cap sleeves to a sleeveless dress
• Add pretty straps to a strapless gown
• Remove sleeves/straps to create a strapless look
• Add a fun peplum
• Change out the bodice or skirt with new fabric
• For the brave, have a dress dyed a new color
Accessory to the Dress
Really, a dress is just the start of a special occasion look. Accessories can make two women wearing identical dresses look very different. They can change the overall effect of a dress to the extent that no one will notice that the dress you have on at Cousin Ellen's wedding is the same one you wore to Uncle Tim's wedding a month ago.
If you know from the start that you will be repurposing a dress several times, it's best to go with a solid color as opposed to a print – this will make it much easier to play with bold accessories. The first step is to decide on a color scheme. Be brave; choose a less common color combo for a look that will definitely make people forget that they've seen that dress before. If you have, for example, a dove grey dress, try all sunny yellow accents for one wedding, and then white and lavender accessories for the next one. The focus will be on your fabulous earrings, shoes, belt and purse rather than your repeat dress.
Hair & Makeup
Playing with your own natural beauty is one of the best ways to change your style. A new hair and makeup look can lend the same dress very different feels. But don't feel like you have to spend big bucks at the salon – thanks to the hundreds of helpful hair and makeup tutorials available online, you can get a pro look at home if you're willing to put in a bit of time and effort.
When trying to alter the appearance of your outfit, choose completely opposite hair and makeup. The first time you wear the dress, leave your hair down in loose beach waves and go for a soft, angelic look on your face. When you repeat the dress, try an elegant updo with a smoky eye and a sexy red lip. These styles are so different that no one will remember that the dress is the same.
Royal Flair
Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone when it comes to repurposing a great frock. Try adding new, spotlight-grabbing components that you haven't worn before. For example, take a page out of the young royals' fashion playbook and explore the world of formal hats and fascinators, which have made a huge return to women's fashion in recent years.
There's such a huge range of options available that even the most conservative fashionistas can find a suitably subtle headpiece. But, if you like making a statement with your look, opt for a larger design that adds volume and interest to your look. Just note that the larger the hat or fascinator, the more subtle your other accessories should be. The last thing you want is for your beautiful accent pieces to be competing with one another.
If Kate Middleton can rock the same dress to multiple very public events, you can surely get away with wearing the same thing to a couple of weddings this spring and summer. And, let's be honest, finding the right accessories is the fun part anyway.
Just make sure that you're comfortable and feel great in whatever variation of the look that you choose. If you feel beautiful and exude confidence, no one will ever question your fashion sense.

Couture Design House Draws From Historic Royalty
TeKay Designs, a couture house based in Houston, debuted its "Queen of the Brides" royalty themed bridal gowns during New York Fashion week this past February. The collection was inspired by the elegance of historic monarchas, and featured luxury fabrics, textures and colors.
Not only were the gowns unique, but the faces that graced the runway were as well, as diversity was applied to the model search.
"Women of royalty are represented from all over the globe through these gowns," explained Kimma Wreh; the Fashion Designer and Creative Director for TeKay Designs. "Places such as Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East influenced the current collection. The gowns express cultural themes that resonate with many ethnic groups."
Some gowns featured intricate embroidery, while others were accented with shimmering beading. Each represented a woman of royalty who has left behind an indelible mark. "I am proud to present a bridal collection that acknowledges style aesthetics that many cultures have contributed to humanity." said Kimma.
Check out some of the photos below to see some of the gowns that were inspired by women of royalty from various cultures throughout history.
Get Glamorous Anti-Chafing Thigh Bands
A few weeks ago I attended an event where I was introduced to Bandelettes, a brand that produces thigh bands to relieve all of the uncomfortable problems of inner thigh chafing that many women encounter when wearing skirts and dresses.
What is chafing? It's the irritation skin may experience due to the repetitive friction from a specific area, such as the thighs, rubbing together. Bandelettes prevents this problem, with an exclusive trademarked and patented design that features non-slip silicon on the underside of elastic lace that lightly wraps thighs and stays in place. The result: no more redness and soreness and the elimination of messy powders or lotions. Moreover, the garment is not just functional, but aesthetically pleasing, as the 6-inch long chic lace can provide a sexy peek-a-book look to rev up any outfit.
Developed by Rena Abramoff and Julia Abasova, the product is available in 4 different shades for $14.99 each. Get one now»
Announcing The New Hold Me Middle Sister Bag
Every looked for a fashionable way to store your makeup brushes? The Hold Me Company has just announced a new size to their line of makeup organizer bags, The Hold Me Middle Sister Bag. The eco-friendly mid-sized bag is just a step-down in size from the largest and original Hold Me Bag and perfectly fits inside an average purse for easy transportation. Available in 11 different patterns, including basic black to bright pinks, the bag is a chic way to organize an assortment of cosmetics and brushes that can be stored for daily use. Closed, the Middle Sister Hold Me Bag measures, 9″ H, by 6″ W, by 2.5″ D, and extends to 20″ W when fully opened, giving full access to makeup and brushes with 8 separate brush sleeves.

Hand made in the USA, the Hold Me Bags are available in three sizes and retail for $60 to $95. The Hold Me Bags can be purchased online and at fine makeup and beauty supply retailers.
Sole Socks: The Breathable Sock Alternative
We've all been there, whether it's the same pair of gym sneakers you wear religiously every time you work out, or those comfy pair of ballerina flats you've had for years, it's inevitable that these footwear will develop funky odors that won't go away no matter how many times you wash them. Recently, I had the opportunity to learn more about a new product called Sole-Socks, a customizable shoe insole developed to absorb sweat and odor from your feet throughout the day so you can wear the fashionable no-sock look in the summer and have cool, comfortable feet.
The design is simple – a plush terry cloth top that absorbs the moisture and odor is stitched together with a cotton layer of fabric for durability with a breathable base attached to grip the inside of t your shoe and prevent slipping. The base is multifunctional as it is designed in a way that allows your foot to "breathe" while also acting as an extra layer of padding and support for your tootsies.
The product is currently pending production, as the creators have recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds (at least $4500). Interested in learning more? Head over to the company's Kickstarter page for more information or to pledge to support.
Have you ever looked at a pair of shoes and thought "I wish I could store my candy, flowers or business cards in them?" Me, neither; but, when I saw these fabulous creations on Esty by SoleSensations I had to share them with you. Check out some of the "Fantasy Shoe Creations" below that are not just works of art, but also function as more than just personality for your home décor.
Diego Binetti NYFW F/W 2014 Hair Recap
During New York Fashion Week designer Diego Binetti revealed his FW14 collection title LOVE. The collection features cape-like wool coats, wild prints, and oversized knits and tops. According to Binetti, "The LOVE by Diego Binetti FW14 has a spirit that is Nomadic with a city-slicker vibe…LOVE collection is unapologetically street-inspired with a sophisticated bohemian flair."
Stylist Jenny Balding created the hair look for the collection's debut developing hairstyles that had a naturally disheveled, rocknroll, effortless feel. "This is a woman who wouldn't spend much time on her hair, but looks effortlessly sexy and disheveled. " said Balding. "Enhancing natural beauty was key for this look."
Here are the steps to create the look:
•Start with clean, dry hair to showcase hair's natural texture
•Use a dry shampoo like Redken pillow proof blow dry two day extender & oil absorbing dry shampoo to give body and volume at the roots
•Spray section by section from the nape of the neck, right up to the front hairline
•Mist hair all over with a light hairspray – "I used Redken fashion work 12 versatile working spray as you can layer it on without it becoming sticky" said Balding.
•Use a large curling iron only to create a bend in the mid shaft of the hair – this creates movement and texture
•Shake your hair out and let it fall into its natural part to give this effortless, sexy disheveled finish

Are Your Feet Grounded?
Walking. It's something most of us do every day without really thinking too much about it. Juil, an innovative footwear company is trying to change that. The company, launched in February 2011, creates footwear that aims to recreate the sensation your feet feels when walking barefoot in a concept called grounding. Advocates of grounding assert that when one's bare feet comes in direct contact with Mother Earth, toxic electrons that cause medical ailments are absorbed into the ground like a magnet; thus, constant contact to the Earth is vital for our well-being.
Since walking barefoot is not feasible for our everyday lives, and the outsoles of shoes prevent the connection with the Earth, Juil has developed a variety of trendy footwear that not only look fashionable, but allows the electrons to flow between your body and the Earth. All of the footwear contains copper dots which act as a conduit, allowing the connection so that the body may be cleansed of stress and toxins in the form of free radicals.
For a couple of days last week I tested The Cap Toe in Snakeskin (pictured above). The soft insoles are very comfortable and when I am wearing the flats it feels almost as if I am, well, barefoot. Immediately, my feet felt relaxed when I put them on and continued to be at ease as I strutted around the city running errands. I can't really speak on the grounding proprieties of the shoes, as I am a generally healthy individual; but, I do like feeling like I'm doing something good for my body just by wearing a comfy pair of flats. And, when you buy a pair of snazzy Juil footwear, you will feel good before you even put the shoes on – for each footwear purchased, the company donates a pair to a person in need in a developing country.
Learn more about Juil and see more of their footwear options by visiting their website here.
FTC Disclosure: The shoes were provided gratis for review.

After a down season in 2013 and an invitation to join the Big East in 2014, I think a comparison to previous XU teams could help with expectations in the postseason. Using Kenpom to make that comparison seems reasonable since it seeks to neutralize or normalize the numbers. Anyway, it's a quick and easy look at 2011-14:
2011 Offense: 41st
2011 Defense: 52nd
2011 Overall: 39th (2nd round, 0-1)
2012 Offense: 67th
2012 Defense: 53rd
2012 Overall: 48th (Sweet 16, 2-1)
2013 Offense: 125th
2013 Defense: 60th
2013 Overall: 77th (no postseason)
2014 Offense: 37th
2014 Defense: 69th
2014 Overall: 42nd
So being somewhere between 2011 and 2012 puts XU in a good spot, actually. It's a stronger team than we might give it credit for. I suggest that the youth on this year's team equates to the derailments the 2012 team had to deal with in season. I don't know if XU can get past U of L to reach the Sweet 16 (not overlooking NCST and SLU), or if 2012's team could have gotten past Duke instead of Lehigh, but this team has all the upside of any team in the last 4 years. Reaching their full potential does depend on the bench coming on strong, well, out of nowhere. For example, this team is much more complete with Myles Davis being his normal self and Farr providing 10 great minutes. Matt Stainbrook is also 50/50. So, there are a lot of ifs. It's a new season, this is a great team, let's make a run with team ball.

Two Methods:Being StraightforwardGetting More Involved
Like it or not, sexual development is a fixture of adolescence, and masturbation is an enduring component of sexuality. Masturbation is a very common and psychologically natural behavior, according to a nationally representative 2011 study (cited at the bottom of this page, if you'd like to read it). Nevertheless, it can still pose various preventable problems, ranging from psychological issues to time-wasting to perceived moral transgression. Masturbation is sometimes a destructive behavior which parents want to put and end to. You're in this situation with your teen. It's awkward, you need help, and that's why you're here. It's totally understandable.
The teen you're concerned about is likely a boy. Boys masturbate more than girls, according to the study, and they start doing it at an earlier age. For this reason, this article may refer to your teen as "he," although it can be applied to teens of either gender.
Method 1 of 2: Being Straightforward
1Sit down with your teen and have a conversation. The most honest way of stopping your teen from masturbating is, quite simply, to talk to him about it.
- If you are not positive yet, this is a great opportunity to determine if your teen is actually masturbating.
2This does not have to be a big deal. The main thing to keep in mind is that this conversation should not be very different from any other conversation in which you ask your teen to do or not to do something.
- Emulate the tone of a more common conversation, such as one about eating less junk food or helping with the dishes.
- State your request plainly, state your reasons for requesting it, and reason through any counterarguments.
3The conversation does not have to be 100% discouragement. According to Robbins' study, "Improved understanding of masturbation is critical to a comprehensive understanding of healthy adolescent sexual development." Instead of simply telling your teen to stop masturbating, you should consider helping them to understand how it affects his sexual health.
- Remember that education is different from setting rules. Often, when someone has enough of the right information, they can set their own rules. This may be a good learning experience for many teens. If you choose to sit down with your teen and talk about the problem, remember that simple education about the risks (and benefits) of masturbation can make as much of a difference in his behavior as forbidding it altogether.
4Don't overdo it. Teens, especially boys, may not appreciate outright commands. If you want to emphasize the ethical or moral beliefs that you share with your teen, do it in a calm, measured way.
- Make if/then statements. For example, instead of simply saying "don't masturbate," consider saying "If you value or love X and Y, then you will not masturbate." This puts the decision, mostly, on him.
5Follow up. As with anything else you ask your teen to do, you may have to ask him multiple times over the course of weeks. One isolated conversation alone may not do the trick.
Method 2 of 2: Getting More Involved
1Don't use punishment as a default. In my research for this How-To, I found no credible medical sources which advocated for punishment as a means of deterring masturbation.
2Give your teen something else to do. Understand that your teen may just need something else to do, and that you can help give them that. This will involve, basically, distracting your teen and limiting their opportunities to masturbate by finding alternative ways for them to spend their time.
- This can include school-work, sports, something creative, or a hobby.
3Help them to focus on school. One reason masturbation can become a problem is that it distracts from other important activities like schoolwork. When teens disregard schoolwork in favor of masturbation, their grades may slip, and your placing an emphasis on grades may give them an incentive to masturbate less.
- It may not be enough to simply punish bad grades. Another of the reasons teens may masturbate is as an escape from reality. If their reality is one of punishment for failure, they will seek to escape more often.
- One way around this is to help your teen study, and ask thought-provoking questions about what he's learned in school. This will help to take his mind off of...er, other things.
4Encourage your teen to spend more time with others. The more normal connections your teen has with others, even if they are just friends, the less he will feel the need to cultivate the sexual one has with himself.
5Limit your teen's time in the shower. Again, this does not have to just be a command. Reason with your teen and complement rules with comments on the cost of the water used in long showers, or the lack of hot water in your home after a long shower.
6Follow up and be consistent. As with Step 5 in the last section of this How-To, your teen may need consistent encouragement and light pressure.Ad
Are you an expert on multiplication?
If so, share what you know about how to teach third grade multiplication.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- Without being intrusive, watch your teen's overall moods and behavior. Sometimes, persistent masturbation habits can be symptomatic of other (but not necessarily deeper) problems. If you have good reason to suspect this, then a How-To article such as this may not be able to help you, and you should consider consulting a professional.
- You do not have to choose only one of the methods above. You can use both of them together.
- According to medical professionals, masturbation is an entirely normal part of teens' sexual development. Some amount of masturbation is always normal, and even "integral to sexual development" (Robbins 2011). In light of this information, carefully consider how and why you want to stop your teen from masturbating before applying anything you have learned from this article.

Cat's Claw or Uña de Gato (Uncaria tomentosa) is an herb that grows wild in the highlands of the Peruvian Amazon.
The native Ashanica Indians have used the inner bark of cat's claw for possibly thousands of years. Recent research
in Europe and China has identified the alkaloid compounds in cat's claw that possess antioxidant properties. Cat's claw
is derived from only the inner bark.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Casting, Deals, Movies, CinematicalI like to think of The Wayans family as the Osmonds of comedy (no seriously, hear me out). They might not be for everyone, but there must be someone out there who enjoys what they do because they keep making movies, and people keep going to see them. If you don't believe me, then tell me how else would Marlon Wayans have managed to get Dance Flick into theaters this May? But this Wayans has been branching out lately, beyond his usual 'low-brow' comedies, and his next flick (according to The Hollywood Reporter) will see him working double duty to produce and star in the feature film version of The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to follow the Bible as Literally as Possible by A. J. Jacobs.
If you grew up in even a vaguely Christian family (personally I come from a religion so laid back it won't even commit to the concept of a virgin birth), you are probably familiar with the usual rules of 'thou shalt not steal, kill, covet' -- you know, the biggies. But Jacob's book centers on his attempt to follow all the rules and guidelines he could find in the Bible -- which, as it turns out it, is much more complicated that those Ten Commandments would have you believe.
Julian Farino (Entourage) is already slated to direct Jay Reiss' script, and even though Jacob's book has the makings of a great film, the big question still remains: Will it be great in the hands of the man who made White Chicks?

Hey, it's an APK sockpuppet, which doesn't really count as a sockpuppet, because everything APK posts is AC. Stop trying to pretend you have supporters here, by posting without your APK sig.
Maybe if you weren't such an abusive asshole, you wouldn't get karmaslammed into oblivion, and you'd actually be able to use a real account, instead of your AC crap.
It doesn't matter if what you say is true or not (and I'm not saying it is completely, even though you do have some legit points at times), but when you present your points like a maniacal raving psychotic, it doesn't matter. You're branded an asshole from the beginning, and rightly so.
there isn't a clear line of sight to them from my house, even with a 16' mast and large antenna point correctly. I gave up on TV with the switch to digital and I find that I really haven't missed much.
A 16' mast? That's tiny for my area. My parents have a two story house, plus attic, so the building's got to be at least 27 feet high, maybe over 30. The antenna is a good 10 feet higher than the highest part of the roof, so it's got to be 40 feet high.
My brother has a ranch, with attic, and his isn't as tall, but it's still got to be 20 feet, and it's the shortest antenna I've seen anywhere.
I don't have an antenna, because I'm in town, and use satellite.

I didn't say "Why wouldn't you have a IPv6 capable network" I asked "Why would you use IPv6?"
Well, it's a good thing that I actually answered the second question, rather than the first, isn't it?
All my equipment/OS's can handle IPv6 just fine, but there's no reason to ever use it inside a local network. I can hit IPv6 outside my network just fine... http://test-ipv6.com/
Granted, that's entirely up to your ISP. But out-of-the-box equipment that's IPv6 capable equipment should support IPv6 as long as your ISP does as well.
If you only run IP4 internally, then you can only address, at best, a subset of IPv6 addresses on the public Internet.
I have to spend an hour to have a system that compares to a commerial OS.
It takes a heck of a lot longer than that to get Windows installed, along with all drivers, updates, and extra software to make it functional as something more than a web dumb terminal....
There's far too much broken desktop stuff for Linux to be usable on the desktop en-masse. Playing a video file from the network. Simple, right? OS X will play directly from share. Windows will play directly from share. Linux will copy it (all 4 GB or whatever) before it will play.
Errr...WTF are you talking about? Linux plays directly from network shares just fine. I do it all the time. In fact, I've been doing it for years. I can't remember the last time I had to wait for it to copy the entire file before it would start playing. (Although I do remember that happening, but it was YEARS ago. Maybe even a decade.)
And it could just be one politician with a chair up his ass.)
FTFY. We're talking Ballmer here, after all.....
Well, that's what you get for running Ubuntu in a dev environment. It's a distribution that's meant to be installed from Ubuntu's repositories, only updated from those same repositories, and never really used for any third party software. I've got a 75+ year old guy using it, because he kept getting infected when he was running Windows. Hasn't had any problems with it at all, other than when a stick of memory went bad, and it started crashing all the time.
For stable servers (and even workstations) I've been running Debian since at least as far back as 1997. There were some issues like you describe in the first 5 years or so, but honestly, the only thing I've run across in the last 5 years was when I tried to do a database server upgrade, and uninstalled the old postgreSQL version 7 before migrating the data to the new version 8 server. That was a relatively easy fix, though, and it only happened because I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. Other than that, every Debian machine I maintain (and there are A LOT of them...) just runs perfectly.
I have a customer who installed an Ubuntu server because "it has a GUI and it'll be easy for me to use". I stuck with it for a while because they liked it, solving problem after problem that cropped up because we kept needing to add third party software to it, which broke on literally EVERY SINGLE kernel upgrade.
Finally, I figured out the amount of time I'd spent fixing shit that wouldn't have broken if we'd been using Debian, and how long it would take me to back up, blow away, install Debian, and restore data. Turned out the customer would have been 4 figures richer if I hadn't had to fix all the Ubuntu screwups over a couple of years. Recommended migrating to Debian, they agreed, and that machine hasn't had a problem since. That was 6 months ago.
Forty two.

Neither Reasonable nor Necessary: "Amateurism" in Big-Time College Sports
AbstractThe NCAA and its member schools are a joint venture that fixes the compensation of its most important workers, the athletes, at a level that is substantially below what would otherwise occur in a competitive market. Claims of amateurism and the need for competitive balance obscure the more than $3.5 billion dollars in revenue generated mostly on the backs of those athletes. From the point of view of rule of reason antitrust analysis, the NCAA's justification for its concerted wage fixing has obvious weaknesses. Recent phenomenal growth in revenue has made the claims of the necessity and reasonableness of concerted action to restrain wages increasingly dubious.

Rugby League 3
Best match so far?
Hi guys. Just wondering what your best match has been so far?
Mine was as follows;
Wigan Warriors -v- Hull KR, JJB Stadim, Round 8. 13 - 6.
On a night when the weather could have been better, the Warriors ground out a win against the tought and determined KR.
The opening, rain-battered, first quarter, was an error strewn affair, which saw both sides losing possession due to the handling errors on the last. The scoreboard opened after KR threw the ball wide to the wing and caught the Warriors two to one, following which a quick pass opened a gap for the winger to sprint in from the half way line, despite attention from Phelps and the full back, Roberts. Michael Dobson added the extras for KR despite the weather and the tough position of the kick.
Eventually, the Warriors scored, courtesy of a nice back-on-the-inside pass from Mark Riddell to Amos Roberts, found the full back sliding over the try line with Pat Richards adding on the easy two points. Both teams subsequently played out several sets of six before the Warriors scored their second try.
The build up was a calamity of errors with the Warriors knocking on at the fourth tackle, close to the KR line. Ben Fisher, on the play of the ball after the second tackle, knocked on for KR some 17 metres from his own line. The ball of course was scooped up impressively in the adverse conditions by Joel Tomkins who placed the ball down to the right of the post, allowing Richards to tag over another two points.
With the score 12 - 6, and the clock ticking away to the much needed half time hooter, the Warriors had one last drive down the middle before Thomas Leuleuai found the ball in his hands and some 27 metres from the post, slotted over a drop goal, giving the Warriors a half time lead of 13 - 6.
The weather was equally as worse in the second half, however, the Warriors failed to capitlise on numerous opportunities to finish the game off. Stuart Fielden and Sam Tomkins combined to set Cameron Phelps away on the wing only for him to be tackled into touch by some tough KR defending.
The extra point obviously gave the Warriors the slight cushion and peace of mind, as they held out during a barage of 4 back-to-back sets on their own line, with one try disallowed, with the KR player apparently losing control of the ball prior to placing it down.
The game ended with a relieved set of Warriors going into the dressing room.
Head coach for the Warriors commented, "The game was tough for the boys, but at this early stage in the competition, you'll find you have grind out wins like these. I think the boys deserve some praise for their defending, but I feel we need to improve in finishing".
Feel free to post your own match reports here! Cheers guys.

In Beautiful English weather (pouring rain) NZ kicks off and the Kangaroos start to spread the ball form the get go, making ground easy. Bailey breaks 2 tackles, off loads to Johnson with another off load to Inglis. G.I. runs 40 meters untouched puts down under the posts for an easy conversion.. 6-0... From the restart AUS found it abit harder with the kiwis muscleing up in defense. The next few sets went back and fourth and was mostly good hard tackles, until one of Brent Tates tackles found a kiwi across the head. Kiwis kick to touch, ball in great field postion.. 3 tackles later kiwis over in the corner, conversion no good.. 6-4... AUS kicks off and cause the kiwis to knock on from a bighit by Price and Smith. Scum to AUS 10 meters out... Thurston to Lockyer, almost breaks thru. Tate from dummy half off loads to Gallen, highshot. Plenty. Lockyer notices not long to half time and points to the post. Thurston steps up, 10meters to the side of the posts and knocks it over.. 8-4... Kiwis restart under a minute left. Aus start to throw the ball around. From one side to the other side, then back to the other side. Hot Potato stuff. Greg Inglis makes a break. Fullback to beat. Draws him in and passes back inside to Tate to run the rest of the way to score under the post. JT knocks the extra 2 over and its halftime.. 14-4
AUS kicks off the 2nd half and are brutal in Defense. Some big hits and froce them back in to own ingoal. Dropout.. AUS take the catch and we get a few regulation hit ups, then Boyd throws a pass that wasnt on. Kiwis regather the loose ball and run 80 meters to score under the post.. 14-10
Coach not happy with Boyd and subs him. On comes Matheson, into the centers and Folua to the wing.. JT kicks off and flirts with the sideline. Matheson leads the chase down the field to meet the Kiwis and puts on a huge hit that smashed the Kiwi over the sideline, Scrum to AUS. 10 meters out.. JT rans from the scrum, cuts out Lockyer and finds Slater running on to the ball thru a hole. TRY. Conversion. 20-10.. The next few sets are nothing special, a few drop balls from both sides.. 5mins to go and the Kiwis crash over for a try over near the sideline. Conversion no good.. 20-14
JT with the restart. Decides to flirt with the sideline again. Kickoff out on the full. Plenty, Kiwis, halfway. Big touch finder. 2 tackles later kiwis in next to the post 20-20
The next play is almost the same as before. JT kicks off again is out on the full. The kiwis touch finder is not as big. The kangaroos hang in tough, some bighits, 5th and last the kiwis put up a bomb. Slater no problems. 2 tackles later Parker takes a hitup, knockon. Scum 20meters out, under 2mins to go.. Kiwis spread the ball, a few off loads and bring it back into the center of the field. Kiwis crash over near the post from dummy half. conversion good. 20-26.. JT kicks off, 2 tackles later its full time
Such is Life
After this game, the kiwis went on to beat france and england
As did the Aussies.
Now for the final. Aussies and Kiwis
Such is Life

Jury: Gilford man abuse child
The jury of eight women and four men handed down five guilty verdicts on Tuesday morning against Michael Clough, of Cumberland Road, Gilford, according to Carroll County Attorney Robin Gordon.
The jury heard closing arguments in the case from prosecutor Deputy County Attorney Susan Boone, and Defense Attorney/Public Defender Eric Wolpin in Superior Court before Associate Steven Houran on Monday morning. Clough was charged with four counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault involving a girl who is now 19, but would have been between eight and 13 years old at the time of the sexual assaults.
The indictments claimed that Clough committed four counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault between July 24, 2002, and July 23, 2007, in Moultonborough, and two counts of witness tampering, one each in February and March of 2012. The jury found Clough not guilty on one of two counts of witness tampering.
Clough has been free on $100,000 personal recognizance bond but was taken into custody after the verdict.
A jury of nine women and five men sat through the trial for six days; one woman and one man were excused as alternates prior to deliberations, according to Gordon.
Numerous witnesses, including the female victim, officials from the Moultonborough Police Department and School Resource Officer Jody Baker, testified during the trial.
Each count of aggravated felonious sexual assault is punishable by a jail term of up to 20 years each. Gordon said the state had recommended a pre-sentencing investigation be conducted prior to making a sentencing recommendation. She anticipated that a sentencing hearing would be held between 45 and 60 days.
This was the second consecutive successful case for the state in recent weeks; Deputy County Attorney Boone prosecuted the Justin Roy child beating case that ended early last week with guilty verdicts on numerous charges, including first- and second-degree assault and kidnapping.

Time Out saysIt's easy to see the attraction of a film about Frida Kahlo. The Mexican painter was spirited, rebellious, proudly true to her idiosyncratic talents, and, despite being crippled in a bus accident, she led an unusually eventful life. Just the ingredients for a romantic inspirational drama! Or for a thin string of colourful clichés. That's far too harsh an assessment of Hayek's well meaning hymn to the determination and artistic originality of a national heroine, but it does point up the weaknesses of the film. Notwithstanding an eagerness to display her bust at regular intervals, the actress/producer makes for an efficient lead, and the same is true of Molina's Diego Rivera. Kahlo's relationship with the womanising muralist is the movie's backbone, as opposed to the link between experience and art, which is stated, not dramatised. The script rushes events, races past characters, deploys welcome animation and special effects for dreams, trips abroad and paintings come to life. It also fields irritatingly cute cameos. Those unfamiliar with Kahlo's life and work will find it lively and informative, but depth of character and insights into the creative process aren't part of the hagiographic equation.

So, we had planned to go to Etnaland today, home of water slides and rides, which the girls had been counting down the sleeps for, bit some bad behaviour put paid to that, I'm afraid!
Instead, we opted for a more low key day and headed to the beach at Fiumefreddo, about 8km down the road. The beach itself was quite rocky, and the water really cold, but we had a nice time ...
Castles and pistachios.....
... around, especially Mt Etna. We went for lunch at Sine Tempore, which I found a little snooty and definitely didn't offer the the best pasta: Lia had veal a la limone, Nuka the Sine Tempore which had wild mushrooms, Paolo had a pasta that included fresh tomatoes and I had the Norma.
Using our our newfound energy, we made it back to our car and set off for Bronte, home of the pistachio. The GPS put our time of arrival at 3.30pm, perfectly timed to ...
Etna Mare
... in the distance. The farm has been passed down from Maria's grandfather, but has been operational for 200 years. They still have the original wine press and various tools used to harvest grapes and make wine over the years. The entire farm is dotted with various antique farm tools and our accommodation, the Kiwi's Bower, was a beautiful old farm cottage, filled with antiques, with 2 terraces overlooking the valley.
Pit Stop in Paradiso
... slice of Paradiso (the Italian word for 'Paradise').
Seeing that it is summer in America and Europe, I cant brag to you about the beautiful sunny warm weather, but I can say that the location was one of the most beautiful places that I have seen.

... how remote Villa Etna Mare would be. In a tranquil and beautiful setting it overlooks Etna and the turquoise sea, it is isolated enough to make a monk proud. Only accessible by a steep track, rough enough to make those of us who'd rented small hatch backs wince at the crunching sounds while traversing the formidable humps and pot holes. It was almost as if we'd known about England's impending failure and ...

Area jobless rate falls for ninth month in a row
The Pittsburgh region extended its run of lower unemployment by posting a 6.7 percent jobless rate in July, with gains in fields that pay good wages deflecting concerns from economists that the recovery in the job market is still anemic.
The jobless rate was an improvement from 6.8 percent in June and much healthier than the 7.3 percent in July 2012, said a report from the state Department of Labor and Industry on Tuesday. Employers added 3,300 jobs, including ones that pay well.
"These are not strong new-jobs numbers, but this pace of growth is healthy for Pittsburgh because it's coming in the right sectors," said Kurt Rankin, an economist at PNC Financial Services Group.
Still, the employment rate in the Pittsburgh area indicated that the local job market was doing better than the state and national level. Pennsylvania's unemployment rate in July was unchanged at 7.5 percent and the United States rate, although declining, stood at 7.4 percent.
Construction trades added 1,200 jobs last month, which was the industry's sixth consecutive month of added employment. The sector added 2,900 jobs in June and July combined, the best June-July gains in three years.
"We've got plenty of construction sites around Pittsburgh to keep that going," said Rankin, noting construction Downtown and on area highways. "We've got orange cones everywhere, which means high-paying jobs."
Finance and insurance businesses, which tend to include jobs that pay well, added 1,700 jobs last month.
Manufacturing slipped by 200 jobs, "mirroring what we see on the national level," Rankin said.
Transportation and warehousing jobs dropped by 2,300 because of lower shipping volumes to businesses elsewhere in the United States, which has experienced a "relatively weak" economy so far this year, said the economist.
The number of unemployed people in the region fell by 900, which is "not a dramatic number, but moving in the right direction," Rankin said.
The seven-county jobless rate, which has fallen for the sixth month in a row, was Western Pennsylvania's lowest since February 2009, when it stood at 6.5 percent.
The metro area consists of Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland counties.
"The Pittsburgh economy is clearly one of the better performers in the state in terms of private-sector job growth," said economist Jake Haulk, president of the Allegheny Institute for Public Policy, Castle Shannon.
The 3,300 jobs added in July, which are adjusted to account for seasonal factors, was the highest month-over-month job creation of the 14 metro areas tracked by the government. Next-highest was Reading, with 1,700 additional jobs, then Lancaster, with 900.
The region's labor force — people with a job or actively looking for one — increased by 3,400 in July and by 12,900 over the previous 12 months, a pace Haulk called, "pretty steady and pretty healthy." It underscored that people here were becoming more confident about their chances of finding employment and weren't giving up on their search.

When the English label XL Recordings snuck out Gil Scott-Heron's first album in 16 years with last year's "I'm New Here," they banked on the hope that the timeless spirit of this street-poet and hip-hop progenitor ("The Revolution Will Not be Televised") would still sparkle today. Their gamble was absolutely right, and this remix/reimagination of Scott-Heron's album takes the songs deep into the hippest and most au courant reaches of Brit dance music.

Great location, 20min walk from old Havana and next-ed to the Capitol Building and shops. Had inside room, updated bathroom and great beds, very quite. Rooftop patio was amazing with whirlpool,bar "Richard",live music and great snacks. Street level patio has also live music and great to look at people and old car watching. Breakfest in the morning was the best, they had everything.
"Tres belle ambiance."

We had a pleasant,spacious corner room with a balcony looking onto the square and the sidestreet and felt we got good value for money. We had one minor problem when we were unable to turn off the shower but they sent somebody round to fix it within minutes!We would recommend the hotel though we did see inside another room on the other side of the building which did not have our views and would have been rather disappointing. The answer is to request a room looking onto the square when you book!

A very good standard. The maids were efficient and always left the room clean and tidy.
Restaurants and Bars:
The food was mediocre and the service was dreadful which was a shame because the restaurant looked beautiful and so reminiscent of its Spanish colonial past.
The bar on the roof was appealing as they served barbecued food but the day we decided to give it a try it rained heavily so they closed!
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
We appreciated the Cuban bands which played near the roof bar and on the terrace outside the hotel.

Check in was seamless. Our room was ready even though we were checking in early. Nothing fancy but very charming and clean. The bathroom was large and had hot water our entire stay. The Juliette balconey was magnificient for the view of Central Parque and the street action. The hotel was beautifully preserved and had lovely old world details. There is a nice rooftop patio with more magnificent views. The cafe at street level was a great place to spend time and the service was excellent. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. For the price, this was an excellent option and easily accessible to all parts of Old Havana. The only downfall is that there is no pool. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return.

Having booked over the internet I wasnt sure what to expect. We were lucky enough to be in room 311 which was a second floor room with a balcony overlooking central park. We were in a triple room which was quite large with three "real" beds rather than a double room with an extra camp bed squeezed in. The bathroom was large with a lovely shower. The room was tastefully decorated with a flat screen TV on the wall. It must have been redecorated since the photos on the website were taken.
The lobby and reception areas were stunning however the breakfast selection was a bit disappointing.
On the terrace we enjoyed sitting outside and having a drink listening to the different bands. People got up to dance it was really lively and felt like "real" Havana

The hotel is very central on the main street, nice area in front of hotel
to enjoy a drink or cup of coffee and watch the world go by.
it is in old havana which i like to walk around from time to time.
one constructive criticism of the hotel is the bar.
looking into the bar at the very start did not give me that inviting feeling.
i think it could do with a bit of upgrading, get rid of the iron chairs
and put some nice furniture into the place.

Inglaterra is a nice colonial hotel. Nice rooms and great breakfast. Fantastique terras. Only thing is that when you are on the street site, you don't have much sleep. A lot of noice from outside you here. And believe me, the cuban people go to sleep at 3 in the morning and some start to work at 6 in the morning. Hotel is good for a few nights stay in havana

They deported us to a room without any windows. The smell was terrible neither the showers. Breakfast was low and the guy from Cubacar who was sitting in the lobby renting out cars wanted to have 5 CUC more for his own pocket a day. Better to stay in Casa particular. Never again in this hotel.

Location for this hotel is fantastic and from outside it looks like a great spot, lobby, etc.
The rooms were not very clean, there was hair in the bath tub...very dark room, no window..very run down.
Very average service for the price. We do not recommend staying at this hotel specially for the price!

I'm certain that Benjamin Franklin Look and Mary Franklin Look are brother and sister.
Mary was born March 17, 1803 in Chatham, Columbia Co., NY. Thomas Look was in Stillwater, Albany Co., NY in the 1790 census and then in Columbia Co., NY in the 1800 NY census. Thomas's family is the only Look family in Columbia County in the census of 1800. I believe Chatham Township was created around 1800 and borders Kinderhook Township.
Mary Franklin Look married Asher Chapin October 18, 1819 in Bath, Steuben Co., NY. I assume that the Look Family moved to Steuben Co. sometime between 1815 and 1819. The date I have for Benjamin's marriage in Kinderhook is January 15, 1815.
Asher and Mary (Look) Chapin had 12 children between 1821 and 1842 and lived in Painted Post. In the late 1840's (before the 1850 census)they moved to Mt. Vernon, Knox Co., OH. Sometime in the 1850's they moved on to Monmouth, Warren Co., IL. Asher died on March 30, 1865 and Mary died on Aug 26, 1883, both in Monmouth IL.
The locations and time periods lead me to the conclusion that they must be siblings. Also every source I find (2 so far) repeat a family tradition passed down from Mary Look that she was a cousin of Dr. Benjamin Franklin.
One source stated that Thomas Look married Mary Franklin daughter of Lemuel Franklin. The only Lemuel Franklin I can find was in Swansea, Bristol Co., MA. Lemuel was the son of a John Franklin and was born c. 1734 (NEHGR 122:23). The only information on Lemuel I found on the "net" doesn't show a Mary as a daughter but does show an Elizabeth (Elsie)who was born September 24, 1767.
I checked the Dighton Vital Records and they had Thomas Look born June 27, 1765 (Book 1:106). He was the son of Benjamin Look and Sarah (Hathaway). There were no birth or marriage records for Sarah and Benjamin in Dighton. There were Hathaway's in Freetown in Bristol Co. and maybe something will turn-up there. I believe that this Thomas Look and Lemuel Franklin could be the ones I'm looking for. Dighton and Swansea are neighboring towns and Lemuel's Elizabeth and Thomas are the right age.

Spring Fashion: Curves are in Bloom!
As spring fashions hit the runway we are seeing a MAJOR trend that celebrates and flatters curves, rather than minimizing or compressing them. Just look at this pictorial, which highlights the cinched hourglass waist and voluptuous hip. We love this trend and we love the way the model is maximizing her midsection with a belt cincher on the right especially. If this is a look you'd like to try, you may want to consider adding a maximum compression cincher like the SlimBand by Squeem for the ultimate hourglass shape.
If that look is a little bit strong for you, the flirty feminine styling on the left is also a curve appeal creator, with its wasp waist and fresh sheer tank. We have some amazing bras and bustiers in our intimates section designed to support and sculpt even full figure cups that would look great with the top she is wearing.
The point is: Spring is here and full, sexy curves are in bloom!
Swimsuit Issues: Curves and Swimwear
We recently came across this stunning pictorial, which features a plus size model in a swimsuit. The image was striking because of her beauty and the relative rarity of fashion images of curvy women in swimwear. With vacation season and summer coming quickly, we launched the swimwear section of Hourglass Angel, which caters to and celebrates women's curves with a variety of flattering and fashionable styles. Our Miraclesuit collection is a highlight of the store that you absolutely must check out. You'll also find accessory solutions such as the Boobles! Foam Bathing Suit Push Up Pads by Bubbles Bodywear here.
We created the swim section of Hourglass Angel for the same reason that we love this image. We believe women of all sizes deserve to feel beautiful in any kind of garment they choose to wear… that includes swimsuits.
We look forward to helping you enjoy some fun in the sun while your beautiful curves make a splash this swimsuit season!
