I have been hearing from a lot of people that they save a lot of money by bundling their services with internet provider bundles. I did not know what it meant to bundle your services until I started to talk to the people who had them. In order to save money and only pay one bill, people are bundling their home phone and cell phone together with their internet and TV company services. I knew that it was going to be a great thing for me to do as I pay so much already for the internet services that we have. I was talking to my parents and they told me how much they pay for their internet bundle and they said that it was not too bad. I told them that their bundle price is what I was paying for just my internet service. I was really upset and I called my company to see if they could bundle my services for me and they said no, they did not offer that type of service.
The people that I talked to at the other company I called for information said that they had never heard of an internet company not partnering up with other companies to be able to offer a substantial savings to customers. My mom and my dad told me that it was great to pay one bill for all of their entertainment needs. I told them that I could only dream of paying one bill instead of three or four separate ones. Sometimes my husband thinks I am paying the bill and I think that he is paying the bill and we end up paying a late fee. We also even lost our internet service because we did not pay the bill, it was such a mess and I was not happy.Remain On Finishing
Internet services come in all shapes and sizes, with prices to match. I approach picking out an ISP with an open mind; I'm more than willing to try a new service if I haven't before. How will I know what works for me and what doesn't if I don't at least give it a shot? You will always here that this or that is better or worse but you can never know this to be fact if you don't have first hand experience in such. When a friend sent me http://www.cheapdslinternetserviceproviders.com/cheap-internet/massachusetts/c/cambridge/ to help me find a new cheap Internet service, I was surprised by the number of selections that I had available to me. For the longest time, I've had nothing but DSL and before that I had naught but dial-up service - which, if you're old enough to ever have had the displeasure of using that, you know how agonizingly slow it is.
When the Roku first came out, I knew that I was going to be cutting the 'cable' as they are calling it now. No longer are consumers bound by a cable packages or a handful of providers delivering entertainment to our television. Now with devices like the Roku, a Playstation, Googlecast, Xbox and others we can access providers like Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll and similar content providers. This has changed the way we view and enjoy content completely, as they have helped decentralize it completely allowing for more competition at fairer prices. Cable companies have enjoyed an monopoly over content and now they are in a blind panic in their vain attempt to control it and failing as they make the attempt. The world is rapidly changing around them, which is why they have most likely bought out ISP's, hoping that they can control the delivery of that content.

You also will not have to worry about the cells being shaded by a cable and not producing as much energy as they could.Solar water heaters are an inexpensive and efficient way to heat your home's water. If freezing temperatures are never a concern in your area, consider a system that circulates water through solar heaters before sending it into your house. You should still retain traditional water heaters for backup when the sun doesn't show, or if you use a lot of heated water.Are you living on a farm?

The Royal Arms representing the United Kingdom
In October 1969 the 50p joined the 5p (shilling) and 10p (florin) coins in circulation, leaving only the three copper coins to be introduced on 15 February 1971 to complete the new series of decimal coins. The design on the reverse of the 50p coin features a symbol of Britannia that has appeared on our coinage since 1672. While this design may have been traditional, the shape of the new 50p coin, an equilateral curve heptagon, was revolutionary. This made it easily distinguishable from round coins both by feel and by sight, while its constant breadth allowed it to roll in vending machines.
With the introduction of smaller 5p and 10p coins in 1990 and 1992 respectively, the 50p became the largest coin in circulation. In October 1994 the Government announced a further review of the United Kingdom coinage. The results revealed a requirement for a smaller 50p coin, which was duly introduced on 1 September 1997.
Since its issue the 50p has been used on several occasions to celebrate important events, each being commemorated by a new reverse design.
The 50p is legal tender for amounts up to £10.

Comments, questions and tips
I made this cake in two 20cm round cake tins. I was worried they wouldn't rise as there wasn't much mixture between the tins, but they turned out delicious. Coffee cake is usually dry, but this was, fluffy and moist. I didn't use the buttercream above, I made my own using 1tbsp instant coffee mixed with some hot water. I also drizzled coffee glace icing on top. Will be using this recipe in the future!
Had been looking for a basic coffee cake recipe for a while that uses "normal" ingredients when I saw this. Really easy to make and turned out fab, I made it for the cake stall at my kids school Fayre and my only complaint is I had to pay £1 to try a piece of may own cake ! Worth it, it was delicious, will definately be making again soon!
Have been looking for a classic coffee sponge recipe and this was perfect - sponge was light and moist but really tasted good (added 1 and three quarter tbsps coffee) and icing was delicious (I followed comment below re 1 and a half times the recommended icing to coat top, middle and cover the whole cake). I added chocolate buttons on top for that authentic homemade look :-) Highly recommended! Oh and I used 7 inch tins and they came out really well
INCREDIBLE! I made this last night in cupcake form (it rises quite a lot so make sure you don't overfill your cases- 2/3 rather than 3/4). I can't even describe what a raging success it was. The cake is a nice caramel colour and is really light, fluffy, and moist. The icing is just as good. It made 12 cupcakes perfectly, and everyone was blown away. This is going in the recipe binder for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Raks, was your oven right temp, scales too need to be certain. When temperature is wrong, cakes will cook on outside and not in middle.
I've just made this cake using twice the amount and made it 3 tier. You cud also use this recipe without the coffee and use double cream whipped to thicken and strawberries.

Bertelsmann Stiftung: Principles of Good Practice
How we define good practice
The Bertelsmann Stiftung uses the "Principles of Good Practice for Foundations," adopted by the Bundesverband Deutscher Stiftungen (Association of German Foundations) in 2006, as a guideline for ensuring that its own project work is community-oriented and effective.
Bertelsmann Stiftung recognizes transparency as a fundamental part of its social responsibility. It therefore makes available to the public relevant information on its project work and funding.
Custodian of our founding principles
As custodians of the principles upon which the Bertelsmann Stiftung was founded, our employees and governance bodies ensure that these principles are realized in a way that serves the community, and not the foundation's own self-interest. They are therefore obliged to avoid and disclose any potential conflicts of interest between the Bertelsmann Stiftung's founding principles and those of the parties involved in carrying out the foundation's project work.
Effective organization and administration
In 2004, the Bertelsmann Stiftung adopted a resolution stating that members of its executive and advisory bodies may not be responsible for bodies dedicated to operational activities. The sole exception is Liz Mohn, who holds positions in the Bertelsmann Stiftung Executive Board and the Board of Trustees, reflecting her position as successor to the Bertelsmann Stiftung's founder, Reinhard Mohn. She carries out her duties in both bodies in accordance with Germany's prevailing foundation and tax laws.

Coming of age with 'Mockingbird'
WTOP Film Critic Jason Fraley looks back at how 'Mockingbird' changed our world.
Jason Fraley, WTOP Film Critic
WASHINGTON - "Mockingjay" meet "Mockingbird."
A new, 50th Anniversary Blu Ray of "To Kill a Mockingbird" marks arguably the greatest novel-to-film adaptation that's ever been done, making "The Hunger Games" look like child's play.
Readers recently voted "Mockingbird" the greatest novel of all time, ahead of "The Lord of the Rings," "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Da Vinci Code."
Meanwhile, the American Film Institute ranked it the #2 Most Inspirational Movie, behind only "It's a Wonderful Life" and ahead of "Schindler's List," "Rocky," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and "E.T."
Sure, there have been better movies made from books (i.e. "The Godfather"), but the book-to-film ratio may be highest with Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize winner and Robert Mulligan's Oscar winner. With a sparkling script by Horton Foote, infectious music by Elmer Bernstein and a power performance by Gregory Peck, the film will easily stand the test of time.
To me, its power boils down to just five words, spoken in two separate greetings.
"Hey, Mr. Cunnigham."
In just three innocent words, six-year-old Scout Finch sends a shot of guilt through the heart of her Alabama neighbor and diffuses a KKK lynch mob.
"Hey, Boo."
In just two, she outgrows her childhood fears to see things from another's point of view, learning why it's a "sin to kill a mockingbird."
The novel was released in 1960 and adapted for the screen in 1962 -- a year before Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. While it was a coming-of-age story for its young characters, it was also a coming-of-age moment for our country during the tumult of the Civil Rights Movement.
A half century later, a statue to King stands on the National Mall, students grow up reading the book in high school, and a 50th Anniversary Blu Ray marks the time perfectly.
Disc One features a newly remastered print of the film, restored from the 35 millimeter original. Take it from me, it's never looked better.
Disc Two is full of extras, including Gregory Peck's Oscar acceptance speech and a full-length "making of" documentary.
You'll learn fun facts, like the character "Dill" was based on Lee's childhood friend Truman Capote, whom she helped to write "In Cold Blood."
You'll also find interviews with Robert Duvall, who made his film debut as the ever-shy Boo Radley, and of course Peck, who turned Atticus Finch into the AFI's greatest movie hero of all time, ahead of Indiana Jones ("Raiders of the Lost Ark"), James Bond ("Dr. No"), Rick Blaine ("Casablanca") and Will Kane ("High Noon"). How fitting, as Indy himself called "Mockingbird" his favorite film.
In a day in age where watching a Blu Ray at home sounds just as good as a trip to the theaters, we should cherish our newfound access to the extraordinary films that have changed our world.
"In our courts," Atticus said, "all men are created equal."
All films are not -- an unfortunate reality Peck articulated in his 1989 AFI Lifetime Achievement Award speech (also featured on Disc Two):
"Making millions is not the whole ballgame, fellas. Pride of workmanship is worth more. Artistry is worth more. The human imagination is a priceless resource. The public is ready for the best that you can give them. It just may be that you can't make a buck and at the same time encourage, foster and commission work of quality and originality."
Here's to quality and originality, along with the four words Peck scribbled into the margins of his script: "Fairness. Stubbornness. Courage. Love."

Grab a glass of wine and a plate for a roaming foodie adventure for Acadiana Outreach Center.
Jolie's Louisiana Bistro served an incredible sweet potato bisque topped with lump crab meat that was such a comfort on the chilly night outside The Victorian in Broussard. It was sweet and smooth and thick and the crab meat cut the creaminess just enough for a little variety. Just next to Jolie's was the table for Steve 'n' Pat's Bon Temps Grill where they stuffed pork with apple and peaches and topped it with a honey-whiskey glaze. The pork was tender and juicy, but knives were nowhere in sight, which made cutting the slice of roast difficult.
Three restaurants served their takes on grits and grillades: French Press, Zea's and Cochon — but Cochon topped theirs with a shallot salad that elevated it above the others. Le Triomphe, however, served a pork shank in a tomato sauce over couscous, an unexpected variation in a region rife with rice and gravy. Poupart's showcased the bakery's delicious puff pastry, stuffing it with a shrimp filling that resembled étouffée. We went back for seconds, and thirds were considered.
Ruth's Chris Steak House, in traditional fashion, served slices of filet with sandwich option — the bread was soft and it's difficult to pass up good steak with horseradish.
The standouts of the evening, however, came from one room that housed both Charley G's and Another Broken Egg Café. Charley G's Holly Goetting's spread was a foie gras PB&J on a small piece of toast. Foie gras is not this writer's favorite, but the sweet and salty with contrasting textures made for a truly unique dish. Another Broken Egg was the talk of the evening with a Scotch egg deep fried in housemade sage boudin and topped with onions and a sharp mustard. It was beautifully presented, the boudin cradling the hardboiled egg, and a wonderful variety of flavors.
|Another Broken Egg Café's Scotch egg.
|Charley G's foie gras PB&J.
Dessert, however, was difficult to beat, especially The Lab's affogato: salted caramel and bourbon cold sweet cream topped with espresso. It was salty and sweet, but the espresso was so smooth that it didn't disrupt the flavor of the cream. The affogato, followed by a Sophi P. cupcake — Drunkin' Punkin or tiramisu — topped off with a macaroon from Everything Else is Cake was enough to send diners into a sugary tailspin.

"I am only getting a little nervous about two projects — the proposed Sasol GTL facility [not the new ethylene plant] and the proposed G2X facility — both in Lake Charles. They need a hefty difference between oil and natural gas prices to make sense."
Abysmally low participation by the public has prompted the council to scuttle the 2014 survey with plans to simplify it and try again next year.
The village now says the ordinance will likely be overturned and authorities will more vigorously enforce existing leash laws.
Lower oil prices also might slow the growth of oil production in parts of the U.S., Canada and elsewhere because it will no longer be so profitable.

NOV 26 Zach Kopplin, who we came to know and love when he was a Louisiana high school student lobbying for the continued inclusion of science stuff in science class, pens this post in The Atlantic about a "textbook" available for social studies instruction in Texas that discusses how Moses contributed to the Constitution. (Oy! Texas rednecks love Jews. Who knew?)
NOV 26 Finally, mad people on the interwebz is a good thing! World wide webby outrage has caused the village of Moreauville to reverse its plan to confiscate pit bulls and Rottweillers and euthanize them simply because of their breed, WAFB reports here. The plan? They're going to enforce the leash law. Well, that would have been a good place to start.
NOV 26 Jim Brown, like many of us Louisiana voters, seems fed up with out of town know-it-alls trying to tell us what to do. Bill Cassidy can't make it through the day without flying someone in to "tell us political retards" how to vote, he says.
NOV 26 Blogger Tom Aswell is writing about the behavior of the two finalists in the 6th Congressional District race: Edwin Edwards and Garret Graves. Edwards has come out swinging, but Graves' campaign seems bent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Tom says.
NOV 26 Blogger CB Forgotston is confused, he says, because Governor Bobby Jindal said higher education wouldn't get cut, but it looks like it is being cut. CB's asking: When is a cut not a cut?
NOV 26 Unless you're in Virigina, you shouldn't count on seeing our Governor on Election Day. Mark Ballard writes in the Advocate's political blog that Bobby will be appearing at a GOP love fest of some kind there, instead of spending the day here.
NOV 26 This post on The Lens takes a look at the ongoing dispute in New Orleans over the banners about the upcoming tax election for the school system. The banners are hanging on schools, and some feel they are promotional, which is not allowed, instead of educational - which is allowed.
NOV 26 Not all college students are focused on football games and parties at this time of year. This post on DIG Baton Rouge recounts an LSU student group that tries to make sure that those who are hungry and homeless are not forgotten by those of us who aren't.
NOV 25 Edwin Edwards took off the gloves on Monday, this post on WAFB tells us. At a Press Club appearance, he wondered how his 6th Congressional District opponent, Garret Graves, could be an expert in all the areas in which he claims to be - when he has no college degree in anything. (Five years - FIVE YEARS - in college, but no degree. Huh?)
NOV 25 Blogger Mike Deshotels offers this primer on predatory charter schools and how they operate, specifically in Louisiana. They're not just profiting from our tax dollars, they're using children and shortchanging them to do so, Deshotels says.
NOV 25 Here's a link to the petition that has been created to save Zeus, a family dog who is targeted for death by the learned fathers of the Avoyelles Parish village of Moreauville. They passed an ordinance based on nothing that outlaws pit bulls and Rotweillers. As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 230,000 signatures - a number that's a wee bit higher than the village population of 929.

I have diabetic neuropathy and these are the most comfortable and supportive shoes I have been able to find in my size, 14B.

"I wear a 14 B so I do not have many options for dress shoes. These have a nice sole that is synthetic and takes a pounding like running shoes. I have some very expensive dress shoes for special occasions but they always hurt my feet so I just wear these Burlingtons anyway all the time. I walk on concrete floors all day that have a very thin commercial carpet and these are the only dress shoes that let me do this without hurting my spine. My only suggestion is that they make a pair that are not waterproof. These seem to breathe but I walk in no water at work. I also wish that the color Cordovan was offered. That goes with more than brown or black."

UPDATED Monday, February 18, 2013 --- 9:15 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A new report says eliminating voter registration at the polls on election day would cost Wisconsin up to $14.5 million, nearly three times as much as initially estimated.
The new total is included in a report released Monday by the state Government Accountability Board, which oversees elections in Wisconsin.
It is up from its first estimate of a $5 million. That included only estimated expenses by the elections board. The new cost includes estimated expenses from four state agencies affected by doing away with same-day registration, which would trigger implementation of federal voter registration requirements.
Gov. Scott Walker supports ending same-day registration but has said he wouldn't sign a bill costing $5 million.

UPDATED Monday, January 14, 2013 --- 10:56 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A final report on how much it would cost Wisconsin to do away with same-day voter registration has been delayed.
The state Government Accountability Board in December issued a preliminary report saying doing away with allowing voters to register at the polls on election day would cost $5 million initially and about $1 million annually after that.
The board which oversees elections had hoped to have a final report done by the end of December. But at its meeting Monday, elections division administrator Mike Haas said the board was still waiting on cost estimates from two or three other state agencies.
Haas says a final report will be done as soon as possible.
Gov. Scott Walker supports ending same-day registration but says he won't sign a bill costing $5 million.

UPDATED Tuesday, December 18, 2012 --- 11:20 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The president of a group representing municipal clerks and the head of the Wisconsin chapter of the League of Women Voters say allowing voters to register at the polls on election day has served the state well and should not be eliminated.
They and others spoke about the issue at a Tuesday meeting of the Government Accountability Board, which oversees elections in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Municipal Clerks Association president Vikki Zuehlke says the association has signed a resolution opposing the elimination of election day registration, in part over concerns of the $5.2 million cost outlined in a GAB report.
League of Women Voters of Wisconsin executive director Andrea Kaminski says there is no evidence that same-day registration has caused significant problems.
Copyright 2012: Associated Press
UPDATED: Tuesday, December 18, 2012 --- 8:45 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin election officials are scheduled to talk about the ramifications of eliminating same-day voter registration, a move supported by Gov. Scott Walker and other Republicans.
Walker has long been for not allowing voters to register at the polls on election day. But his support weakened in the face of the Government Accountability Board report that put the price tag on eliminating same-day registration at more than $5 million.
Walker says he would not sign a bill that costs that much money.
The board was to discuss that report at its Tuesday meeting.
It was also scheduled to discuss a report about the costs and complications of accessing a federal database to weed out illegal immigrants who may be voting.
Copyright 2012: Associated Press
UPDATED: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 -- 10:05 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin's elections board says preliminary estimates show it will cost at least $5 million initially if same-day voter registration was eliminated.
The Government Accountability Board compiled the estimate in anticipation that the issue may come up next year in the Legislature. Gov. Scott Walker has said he would sign a bill that eliminates same-day registration, although he says it is not a priority of his.
The report dated Friday says in addition to the one-time cost tied to a law change, there would be an additional $1.9 million expense every two years associated with implementing two federal laws that would take effect if same-day registration goes away.
Wisconsin is currently exempt from the National Voter Registration and Help America Vote acts because it allows same-day registration.
Copyright 2012: Associated Press
UPDATED Wednesday, December 5, 2012 --- 4:49 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker says the debate over ending same-day voter registration is a ridiculous issue even as GOP lawmakers announced they're working on a bill.
Republican Rep. Joel Kleefisch announced Wednesday he's drafting legislation to end same-day registration. The announcement came shortly after Walker told reporters during a question-and-answer period the issue is ridiculous and it's not one of his legislative priorities. He says lawmakers should be focused on jobs.
The governor said last week, though, that he would sign legislation doing away with the practice. He told reporters on Wednesday same-day registration has been fraught with problems for years but didn't go into specifics.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, a Democrat, says Republicans are trying to change the rules because they didn't do well on Election Day.

UPDATED Monday, November 26, 2012 --- 10:54 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker says he would sign a bill that ends same-day voter registration in Wisconsin, but he won't make doing away with it a priority.
Walker told The Associated Press in a Monday interview that his longstanding opposition to same-day registration stands, but seeking a bill next year in the Legislature to do that is "certainly not a priority."
The issue has gotten more attention recently after Walker said in a speech earlier this month in California that he thinks it would be easier on election clerks of voters could not register at the polls.
Walker says his comments have gotten a disproportionate amount of attention. He says he is focused on his economic agenda in the Legislature next year, which includes passing a new two-year budget.

POSTED: Monday, November 19, 2012 -- 2:55 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker says he thinks that it would be "much better" if Wisconsin did not have same-day voter registration.
Walker made the comments during a speech Friday night in California.
Walker's spokesman Cullen Werwie had nothing to add Monday to what Walker said.
Walker says in the speech that "It would be much better if registration was done in advance of Election Day, easier for our clerks to handle that."
Incoming Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has supported doing away with same-day voter registration in the past and sponsored a bill to do that when Democrat Jim Doyle was governor.
Vos said Monday he was open to the idea, but he did not know of anyone who planned to propose it and he had not spoken with Walker about it.

Well, I recently got to Festergut in my guilds 2nd ICC10 on my DW frost dk, and was able to successfully tank it without horrible trouble.
From my experience in 10 man you should have one full inhale and blight, then around 2 more inhales by the time the fight is over or you have hit enrage.
With this thinking I simple made sure I tanked first. I don't have nearly the same gear as you /jealousy so by starting the fight tanking I would have to hold him through the first two inhales, so up to the +60% dmg and attk speed increase. By then I am at 8 debuffs and the pally OT tanks him through the last inhale and the 90% increase phase till the blight.
This really increased my survivability and reduced the healing difficulty my healers where having keeping me up.
Hope that helps, it is definately doable though.

Empowerment of people through information and media literacy is an important prerequisite for fostering equitable access to information and knowledge, and building inclusive knowledge societies.
Media Literacy is a 21st century approach to education. It provides a framework to access, analyze, evaluate, create and participate with messages in a variety of forms — from print to video to the Internet. Media literacy builds an understanding of the role of media in society as well as essential skills of inquiry and self-expression necessary for citizens of a democracy.
Media and Information Literacy (MIL) is a recently-developed pedagogical approach that takes into consideration the new cultures emerging from the Information Society. Read more about MIL.
This clearinghouse on MIL encourages the user's active participation. Read more about how to contribute.
The aim of the MEDEA Awards is to encourage innovation and good practice in the use of media (audio, video, graphics and animation) in education. The awards also recognise and promote excellence in the production and pedagogical design of media-rich learning resources. Deadline 30 September 2014.

The OneMinutesJr video challenge is open to young people up to the age of 20. We're asking you to get creative and produce a 60-second film (with title and credits) on a theme related to child rights. Deadline: 15 September

Streamlined cycling jersey for elite-level racing
A lightweight, high-performance race jersey cut for an aggressive position on the bike. Developed in close collaboration with Rapha Condor JLT pros, the jersey is made from high-wicking technical fabric that incorporates coldblack® technology. Used specifically for this jersey, the fabrics dyestuff absorbs less heat, staying cool against the skin in hot weather. Mesh side and rear panels give added breathability.
Coldblack® technology-treated fabrics are 9°C cooler than non-treated black fabrics, and measure just as cool as a light-coloured material.
Key features:
- High-stretch fabric with skin-tight aero cut
- Robust construction with bonded seams and stitching
- coldblack® technology wicking treatment
- Mesh panels, collar and cuff ends for additional breathability
- Low cut collar and high stretch cuffs for comfort
- 3 durable rear pockets plus internal zipped valuables pocket
- Forcats de la Route branded details
- Name label for team laundry use
- Eyelet and inner loops for race radio cable
- SPF (Sun protection factor) AS/NZS 4399:1996 | 50+
- Criteriums
- One-day races
- Stage races
- High-tempo training
On aesthetics alone, its a thing of beauty. Its got a slim fit, but its somehow forgiving enough to find room for and camouflage my last couple of burritos. And for those of you, like me, who cringe at the garish all-over prints of most jerseys, the off-white/cream with a single black band on the left arm is nice fresh breath of minimalism."
Peter Rubin, WIRED: 8/10
- NB: The Pro Team/Team Issue jersey is very close-fitting, please check the sizing chart as you may be a size-up from your normal Rapha Jersey size.

He was at the helm of French fashion house Balenciaga for 15 years, before the brand made a shock announcement in November last year that Nicolas Ghesquière was parting ways with the company. Since then the designer's successor Alexander Wang made his hotly anticipated debut for the house, but Ghesquière's had yet to speak out about his decision to leave the coveted fashion role. Until now! Business of Fashion have today obtained an exclusive excerpt of an interview the French designer granted to System magazine in which he lets rip about the issues and unhappiness which led to his departure from a job he'd held since he was 25 years old.
Ghesquière, who has dressed stars from Kristen Stewart to Julianne Moore, and was renowned for his devotion to the house and founder Cristóbal Balenciaga's legacy, explained how he felt that the people around him were unable to grasp his creative vision for the brand because they failed to understand fashion and that he was left to work alone, juggling the design, merchandise and commercial tasks of running Balenciaga.
See highlights from the interview below...
1. He positioned Balenciaga at the same level as Chanel and Prada
'For me, Balenciaga has a history that is just as important as that of Chanel, even if it's a lesser-known name. It had the modernity, it was contemporary, and I've always positioned it as a little Chanel or Prada.'
2. But he was upset that Balenciaga was becoming like any other house
'The thing that I'm most proud of is that Balenciaga has become a big financial entity and will continue to exist. But I began to feel as though I was being sucked dry, like they wanted to steal my identity while trying to homogenise things. It just wasn't fulfilling anymore.'
3. He had to juggle designing with merchandising
'Although the catwalk was extremely rich in ideas and products, there was no follow-up merchandising. With just one jacket we could have triggered whole commercial strategies. It's what I wanted to do, but I couldn't do everything. I was switching between the designs for the catwalk and the merchandisable pieces – I became Mr Merchandiser. There was never a merchandiser at Balenciaga, which I regret terribly.'
4. He felt like colleagues at Balenciaga didn't understand fashion
'There are people I've worked with who have never understood how fashion works. They keep saying they love fashion, yet they've never actually grasped that this isn't yoghurt or a piece of furniture – products in the purest sense of the term. They just don't understand the process at all, and so now they're transforming it into something much more reproducible and flat.'
5. There are other designers out there in his position
'What's interesting is how my split from Balenciaga has encouraged people to get in touch with me, and they've said, 'Me too, I'm in the same situation. I want to leave too.''
6. He was thrilled with the support from the industry - especially on twitter
'I haven't expressed myself up until now, but I would like to say thank you to everyone, I really am very grateful.'
7. He's currently preparing for the next chapter in his career
'I'm regenerating again, and that's very exciting because it's a feeling I haven't had since I was in my twenties.'
Take a look at our gallery of Nicolas' friend and muse Kristen Stewart in his designs:

The set does a great job of digging around the edges of the 70s – moving past too-familiar jazz funk classics, and coming up with numbers that really get at the more sophisticated side of the genre! Most of the work is by relatively well-known artists, but the whole thing's still a nice change from the mainstream, and features loads of rare groove classics – including "In Good Faith" by Norman Harris, "Latin Spirit" by Leon Huff, "Latin Love" by Dexter Wansel, "Cisco Kid" by Reuben Wilson, "Red Beans" by Jimmy McGriff, "Out On The Coast" by Larry Willis, "Give Me Your Love" by Funk Incorporated, "Killing Time" by Natural Essence, "Like A Thief In The Night" by Mike Longo, "Them Changes" by Lionel Hampton, and "Killing Me Softly" by Hysear Don Walker. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.
