eBay is partnering with tech-savvy fashion brand Rebecca Minkoff to bring immersive digital technology to the designer's foray into brick-and-mortar stores.
The first of four high-tech boutiques will open on Saturday in New York's Soho area, followed by a San Francisco store (in the Pacific Heights neighborhood) that will open shortly thereafter and stores in Los Angeles (on Melrose Avenue) and Tokyo next year.
While the stores are permanent, eBay has signed on for a one-year (minimum) partnership to bring its e-commerce prowess to Minkoff's first stores, powering touch screen interactive displays and digital fitting rooms designed with her customers—omnichannel-savvy, sophisticated and fashion-forward shoppers—in mind.Continue reading...

China's relatively new Singles Day e-commerce promotion on 11/11 has become the biggest shopping day worldwide, breaking more sales records each year since its inception.
Beginning in 2009 with 27 brands, the event was so big last year that banks were overwhelmed with transactions from Chinese retailers like Alibaba's Taobao Marketplace and Tmall.com, which logged $5.75 billion in sales—more than twice what U.S. retailers made on Cyber Monday in 2013.
Now forecasters are calling for a sales haul that could surpass $8 billion worldwide, and 11/11 mania is spreading worldwide. Continue reading...

The day has finally arrived: Alexander Wang's collection for H&M is now in stores. Wang, creative director of Kering SA's Balenciaga brand, is the first American to design a guest collection for H&M, and today's debut marks 10 years of designer collaborations for the world's second-biggest apparel retailer after Zara owner Inditex.
After an orchestrated series of sneak peeks—first on Instagram, followed by Rihanna at New York Fashion Week, and then a mention in Vogue Netherlands—as well as a striking video teaser (below) and a New York runway show—the collection has now hit 240 H&M stores worldwide and its network of websites, with select pieces also for sale on the official Alexander Wang website.
As we noted earlier, the collaboration not only crashed H&M's local websites worldwide, but instantly hit eBay, with items priced up to $2,000.Continue reading...

The Alexander Wang collection launch at H&M today saw fans line up around the block around the world, sparking crowd control issues as its local websites crashed, although they're starting to come back online.
Some fans were snapping up $5,000 worth of the New York-based designer's apparel at a time, with the menswear reportedly selling out quicker than the women's collection. No surprise, items are already popping up on eBay for up to $2,000 by one seller. Continue reading...

Ebola, it's what's for dinner. Ebola: I'm lovin' it. Got Ebola? Ebola is on the mind of consumers everywhere and savvy (some might say cynical) entrepreneurs are moving to capitalize on the Ebola media storm. From website domains to sexy Ebola Nurse Halloween costumes to "antibacterial and antiviral sprays and wipes for eliminating bacteria."
Consider the obvious Ebola.com. The website was snapped up by Blue String Ventures in 2008 and sold this month for $50,000, according to TIME. Stranger still, Ebola.com was sold to a Russian medicinal marijuana company in Nevada.Continue reading...

Amazon, Google, and American consumers, take note: If you haven't yet heard of Rakuten, you will soon.
The Japanese electronic commerce and Internet company is the world's third-largest online marketplace behind Amazon and eBay. In its homeland, Rakuten Ichiba is the largest e-commerce site in the country, earning $4.9 billion in revenue last year to make it the Amazon and Alibaba of Japan.
Founded in 1997 by CEO Hiroshi Mikitani, the Tokyo-based Rakuten now has more than 10,000 employees worldwide and is ready to take on the big dog of e-commerce—Amazon—with the launch of its first website in the U.S. this week: Rakuten Fashion, which delivers the same level of tech savvy and device acumen that has helped the company grow exponentially over the years.

Date: January 14, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
+ Illness causes
candidate to end run
Rasheen Davis, a Democrat who was vying for the County Commission seat held by Commissioner Nora Patterson, announced she has dropped out of the race.
Davis was diagnosed with breast cancer and began aggressive treatment last week.
Patterson still faces Siesta Key architect Mark Smith in the Republican primary.
Democrat Mark Hawkins Sr. will face the winner of that race.
+ Consultant looks at sign placement
The consultant the city hired to create a wayfinding system began a three-day visit Jan. 13.
The company, Merje, will travel city streets to analyze the placement of more than 350 road signs, pedestrian signs, parking-lot location signs and directional kiosks that the city wants to install.
On its last day in town, Merje will hold a closing meeting to discuss its findings. It will take place at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 15, in Room 112, at City Hall, 1565 First St.
The wayfinding project is expected to cost $1.4 million. Less than $900,000 is currently funded. The city plans to erect the downtown-area signs, while it waits for the rest of the funds to install signs citywide.
+ Real-estate sales take off in December
The Sarasota real-estate market saw in December its highest number of sales in nearly three years.
The 648 transactions were the most since March 2007.
In addition, sales of single-family homes and condos last month were 12% higher than November and 52% higher than December 2008.

Say hello to this year's summer uniform.
Discovered deep in the depths of my Mother's wardrobe, this Muji shirt dresses and I have fallen madly in love over the past week. As much as I hate the idea of a 'uniform' style of dressing (in the sense of wearing a similar outfit each and every day) it is alarmingly appealing as Sydney begins to warm up. Particularly as rising temperatures inevitably means rising sunscreen use. I can barely survive 15 minutes in the midday sun without turning pink, so a dress that keeps me both cool and somewhat covered is very welcomed. I'm honestly relishing in the amount of sunscreen foregone in place of shirted shoulder protection. Needless to say, this dress has barely left my back over the past 7 days, accompanying me through both exams and resulting celebratory trips to the beach. Thankfully, there's also a white version of said dress (discovered a few days later), which may just save this summer from turning into one never-ending wardrobe repeat.
Plus, it just looks so effortlessly casual - why would you want to wear anything else when it's 40 degrees out?

The kind of days where coffee and/or bathroom breaks are activities for which you can only dream? Forget makeup touchups, because those aren't happening, either. These are the times when you'll want to be sure to have Wet n' Wild Natural Blend Pressed Powder ($5) in your beauty stash. The paraben-free powder, especially when applied with a large fluffy brush in the morning, helps subtly diffuse imperfections and set makeup all day long. And unlike many other drugstore variety powders, the finish is neither too orange nor cakey. It also keeps the t-zone shine-free for hours and hours. So whether time is on your side or it isn't, at least you won't have to worry about your makeup. 23 1 12 0 0 Read More What We're Sweet OnBeauty Product ReviewDrugstore BeautyBeauty ShoppingWet N WildFace PowderMakeup Makeup 3 Crazy-Beautiful Makeup Tutorials for Blue Eyes 7 hours ago How to Actually Look Slimmer After Thanksgiving Dinner 2 days ago How One Real Girl Made Herself Look Like a Victoria's Secret Angel 2 days ago MAC Cosmetics Really Outdid Itself in 2014 4 days ago The 2014 Celebrity Campaign News That Made Us Glad to Be Beauty Editors 4 days ago 19 Girls (and 1 Guy!)

Jackson Overland's world is turned upside down the moment a platinum blond young woman fell from the sky, an accident that cost them their lives. Denying their unfortunate fate, the Guardian of the Moon presents them another chance at life with the pair sustaining one another's life source for the next seven days. However, by the end of the week, the duo must decide who will die in order for the other to continue living. With their lives at stake and neither giving up their life for the other, how will the pair cooperate?

Hello my fellow friends and watchers!
I'm sorry for the extreme tardiness of my update, the reason behind this action is due to three things:
1) My lack of energy to do anything has been really low
2) I have some family issues
3) I went through a heart break, and currently in the process of getting over it.
The third reason is probably the most effective on me, since this particular person reminds me of Jack Frost's character. Because of the reminder, I feel a little down about it. I'm okay, though. I kind of expected that I was getting ahead of myself, and that he was probably flirting with me like I was any other person, and whatnot. So while I'm pushing these feelings aside, I'd like to apologize for my lack of activity.
So anyways, while I was absent for a long time, I had been focusing on exercising, like non-stop. I'm proud to say that I dropped a size and got to tone my stomach. My figure still needs some work though. I've also been watching my diet, and have been forcing myself to ignore the food temptation that frolick into my mind at night. It's been hard, but I've been sucking it up and reminding myself that I'll look better.
I thought it was funny how (the above paragraph) is a real psychological routine, in which a female, who has suffered through a heart break, vents. Aside from ranting and crying, they work on their physical features, to make themselves feel better. ((This is referenced from "My Love From the Stars" if I got any k-drama watchers! Kudos to you!~)) According to the lecture in that drama, male tend to handle heart break worse than females. And I'll leave it as that.
On a brighter note, today was my 19th birthday! And I'm surprised by the amount of birthday greetings posted on here--this may be my biggest greeting on deviantArt ever, but I'm grateful for you guys who greeted me. It was good to know that I wasn't really alone on here. I'm usually stuck inside my mind, dealing with my problems by myself lately, so it's good to know that people actually care on this day. It lightens the load just a bit.
I spent my birthday being another spoiled princess. I doll-ed myself up, placed a recycled Tiara (that I received from my tennis banquet) and wore it at a mall district. Fun to say, some people greeted me on the bustling streets, and others at a restaurant, Cha2o to be exact. Over all, my birthday was a foodie celebration. I got to cheat on my diet for today and ate all my favorite food and enjoyed it with no guilt. Below is a small preview of my birthday, and I'll leave it as is!
So thank you guys, for staying with me up to now! And for your never ending support and patience! I'll be back to writing soon! I love ya'll!
Much love,

The rollout of Android 4.1 to the One XL has begun in various Asian countries this morning, with confirmations specifically for the CID (carrier ID) associated with Singapore and Taiwan. The full firmware for the update is also available in RUU form over on XDA (direct link). Note that applying the update will only work if you have the correct CID - this won't work on any old One XL.
Say what you will about Samsung, but their catapulting into the number-one position among Android smartphone vendors hasn't made them feel "above" responding to various product foibles. Speaking to Android Central, a Samsung spokesperson confirmed that the company is aware of a fairly-serious kernel exploit affecting a number of its high-profile devices using the Exynos 4 chipset. This includes handsets like the Galaxy S III and Note II (in most forms), and tablets such as the Note 10.1 or Tab 7.7.
Earlier today, while
distracted by a YouTube video doing some article research, I started watching Stephen Colbert's interview at Google with Eric Schmidt. It's pretty great, and you should definitely watch the whole hour - seeing Colbert out of character (and talking about that character) on video for so long is a rarity. He's a really smart guy, and hilarious, to boot.
But during that interview, early on, I caught something that really resonated with me.
Breaking news coming out of California's Northern District Court tonight, as Judge Lucy Koh, who presided over the now-infamous Apple v. Samsung trial, has issued post-trial rulings on the parties' respective motions.
Jury Misconduct (Vel Hogan)
Judge Koh ruled that no jury misconduct occurred during the Apple v. Samsung trial, and that she would refuse to entertain the issue further. The judge will not even hold an evidentiary hearing on the matter, meaning Samsung failed in even at the most basic level in arguing its case for a new trial on account of Vel Hogan's alleged biases.
If you're still toting the US Cellular-connected Galaxy SII, good news – it seems the device's update to Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 is ready to go and can be installed using USC's "Simple Upgrade Tool" any time now.
The update, which carries software build number FK19, brings with it all the Ice Cream Sandwich goodness some other carrier variants already enjoy including Face Unlock, TouchWiz improvements, and more.
Image: US Cellular's Ice Cream Sandwich Promo Document
While US Cellular's Galaxy SII may be a bit late to the Ice Cream Sandwich party, it's nice to see continued support for the device, 10 months after it first debuted on the carrier.
Mobile advertising is an unavoidable part of the Android experience - in fact, some would make the case that it's the whole reason for Android coming to exist in its current form. But that doesn't meant that it can't be improved. So Google's AdMob team has been looking at ways of making delivered ads both less intrusive and more functional, namely by cutting down on unwanted activations.
According to the post on Google's Mobile Ads Blog, accidental and non-intentional taps on the ad space are one of the biggest problems they've had to deal with.
Samsung, continuing its habit of timely code releases, today let fly open source kernel files for a handful of devices including Verizon's newly announced Galaxy Camera (EK-GC120), AT&T's Galaxy SIII Jelly Bean update (SGH-I747), and last but not least, AT&T's Galaxy Tab 8.9 Ice Cream Sandwich release (SGH-I957).
If you've been waiting to get your hands on a fresh batch of kernel source for these devices to tweak, develop, or ogle, now's your chance.
After putting up the accompanying support documentation yesterday, Verizon just announced that the Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) update for the Galaxy S III will be rolling out within the next week, making it the last of the major carriers to apply it. The update will start pushing to devices tomorrow, December 14th.
The update includes Google Now, expandable notifications, ISIS mobile payment support, an enhanced camera app, and more. You can find the details on the Galaxy S III support page.
Update: Verizon has since removed the document (maybe to fix the typo we pointed out, though who knows), and changed it back to the document for the last update to the GS3. We'll let you know if that changes.
Update #2: The document is back, this time correctly identifying Google Now as Google Now instead of Google Plus.
Verizon has posted up the official support documentation for the Android 4.1 update to the Galaxy S III, meaning an update should be on its way in the next week or two (typically - there are cases where delays happen).
Update: Sprint's posted the official changelog, here it is:
HTC EVO 4G LTE Software Update - 3.15.651.16
- WiFi Authentication Improvement
- Personalized ringtones
- Calendar event description hyperlinks and calendar reminder improvements
- Addition of Sprint Connections Optimizer
- Upgrade to Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean) with HTC Sense 4+
- Improved Browser performance
- Face Unlock Improvement
- Application Improvements to YouTube, Google+, Gmail, Maps, and more
- Improved Camera including Auto Portrait and Sightseeing Mode capabilities
- Improved Gallery with ability to display photos and video albums according to when or where taken
- Tap and Go function to connect the phone to select Beats Audio speakers
- HTC Get Started support to allow device set up from a computer
Important Notes:
- Software version is: 3.15.651.16
- Updates may be released in stages.

main index
An Uncanny Atmosphere is basically when the characters/audience get the feeling that something is wrong in their environment. They don't know exactly what's going on, but they do know that something is definitely wrong. For example: character walks into an area and gets the feeling that something is wrong there. Maybe everyone is gone? Maybe the inhabitants are all brainwashed zombies? Or, everything seems fine at first. But slowly, the characters/audience start to feel an undeniable sense of wrongness in the atmosphere. Intentional use of the principles of Uncanny Valley are often applied to setting and background characters to increase drama or hint at conspiracy. The colors are a bit off (The Matrix), the people are too nice (The Stepford Wives), everything is too clean or it's just too quiet. This may be a sign of a Crapsaccharine World. Compare to Uncanny Village and Nothing Is Scarier.

Advent Calendars. Time to start planning!
December is still six weeks away, and I'm refusing to start thinking about Christmas just yet (I saw the Christmas decorations up on Oxford street earlier this week and it didn't seem possible! Can it really be that time of year already?!). But… I do love Advent calendars — it's one of my favourite Christmas traditions.
I saw this cool Ferm Living advent calendar (above) at Cissy Wears earlier this week and love it! (It's actually what has inspired this post.)
We have the Maileg advent calendar (as shown above) and it's a similar concept with little pockets for presents on each day. I start collecting little gifts and knick knacks around this time of year, and then come December 1st, the kids take turn unwrapping each day. It's such a fun and exciting way to celebrate the run-up to Christmas.
I also love the idea Meta wrote about, with little paper bags hanging along the stair railing. So fun and festive!
And lastly, there's the wonderful idea from Mo who wraps up christmas-themed books every year for a Christmas book Advent Calendar. Such a great idea!
Anyway, I thought I would share all these ideas now… before it's too late to prepare. The next six weeks will zip by I'm sure!

The Little Square Gallery — sweet snapshots in a cool frame
I'm not very organised when it comes to using my digital photos — I just take a photo, post it to Instagram, and then it disappears in a virtual cloud somewhere. Actually, it wasn't very different back when I took analog photos — instead of a virtual cloud, photos would disappear in a dusty box, waiting to be organised and glued into albums…
Friends of my parents, whose house I visited often when I was little, used to frame a selection of their photos in big collages once every year. They would choose photos of birthdays, vacations, and life in general, photos of their family, mixed with dear friends. They cut out parts of photos, circles, triangles — whatever worked — and glued them without any order or organisation. But the collages looked so cool and I loved looking at them (and finding myself in the sea of faces)!
I recently commissioned Natalie from The Little Square Gallery to print a selection of my Instagram photos. To create a moment in time, six months of snapshots, as a visual reminder of the things that happened and made us happy. The frame arrived a little while ago, and it is sitting on our new landing waiting for it's final spot. And we love it! I see it many times a day, and am reminded of those sweet moments. The children love looking at it as well. Casper is especially intrigued — every day he studies the photos and calls out all of the names of his siblings… sweet boy!
Working with Natalie was such a pleasure. She helped me pick the best photos, worked on them to make them perfect in colour, balancing light and contrast, and created a truly wonderful collage, framed beautifully in a solid wood frame. The photos are giclée printed on thick, cotton-rag fine art paper, creating a really cool floating effect that sets this collage apart! I will definitely work with Natalie again, creating more of these compilations — because I definitely like these moments in time much better in a frame, than in a virtual cloud!

Home & Kids (and a house renovation!)
When we moved to Amsterdam 6 years ago, we thought we would leave after a few years, so we never ended up buying a place for ourselves. We found a nice little house for rent, in a nice little neighbourhood, with a nice little backyard which is connected to other nice little backyards by way of a romantic alleyway. So our children have direct and save access to heaps of nice little neighbouring kids! We fell in love with the house and the neighbourhood, but sadly our landlord told us a year ago that he wanted his house back. (We were also outgrowing the space since we had two more children after moving in here!) So we were preparing to move again and leave our beloved house and neighbourhood, until… our sweet 94-year-old neighbour told us she wanted to sell us her house!
She bought the house when it was being built in 1953, and had lived there ever since. First with her family, then alone after her three children left the house and her husband passed away. Until, at the end of last year, she lost her eyesight, broke her hip, and had to move to an elderly home. She loved her house, and wanted another family to love it as much as she did. And this is why she decided to sell it to us. So sweet!
We've been renovating the house for a few months now, and hope to move in later this summer. It's such a big job and so exciting — it's the first house we have ever owned! We've been designing, selecting materials, fittings, tiles… and of course I've been secretly looking around for some new 'details' as well. ; )
Home and Kids is one of our shop members and I particularly like their style. I found the black metal wire lamp in the photo above in their shop, and am so in love with it! I can't wait to see it in our new house, but for now it looks perfect on that vintage side table next to our couch. I also am eying this mirror for our toilet, these wire trays and baskets for my new office (!!), and this Paris pillow for the couch.
There is also a wonderful children's decor and gift selection, where you can't go wrong with finding presents, toys, or other desirable little things like these cool Amy & Ivor mocassins that have Casper's name on them.
In fact, I'm going to place a little order immediately, as sale is now on!
(Oh, in case you are interested — here are a few photos of our house renovation…)
Jim Flora wonderful wallpaper
Jim Flora (1914-1998) was a mid-century artist known for his album covers and some fabulous children's books (The Day the Cow Sneezed, for example), and his illustrations are truly wonderful. Recently, a series of wallpaper was brought out in cooperation with Flora's estate, all using the original art and illustrations from his archival music images, paintings and abstract designs.
I just love these wallpapers! Jim Flora's illustrations may date from around 70 years ago, but all of these wallpapers feel so incredibly fresh and modern… Also, they are sweet and playful, but wouldn't be misplaced in rooms for bigger children (adults even). I'm contemplating getting the instruments wallpaper above for Pim's room. I'm sure he would love that!

Armadillo & Co handmade rugs
Our friend, Jodie Fried, who longtime readers might remember from the Angawandi Charity Project or even before that, from the Bholu brand of quirky soft toys, is a woman of many talents (and apparently many successful business ideas!). She recently started a new company called Armadillo & Co which offers a stylish selection of handmade, natural rugs. She works with traditional artisans in India who specialise in varying weaving techniques, and they only use natural fibres like wool, jute, cotton and hemp. Being a mother, she not only offers a gorgeous selection of rugs for your home, but also a lovely and vibrant children's collection as well.
She very kindly sent me one of her rugs for the girls' bedroom so that we could see and feel the quality of the rugs, and it is the perfect addition to their bedroom. The colours are perfect in there (see photos of their room below)! Don't you think it looks like it should be paired with the print on the fireplace mantel, the print on the left?
Armadillo & Co is an Australian-based company, but you can now find a selection of the children's rugs from Nubie here in the UK, including the Daisy Weave rug in the girls' bedroom.

Upside down plants!
Plants in your interior must be back in fashion! I see them everywhere (we've been pinning plants on our Pinterest board too if you're interested). I'm really enjoying the greens that I've been collecting in our home — it just makes things look so nice and 'fresh'.
One of the new additions I got for our house recently is this fun upside down 'Skyplanter' from Boskke. I love the concept behind it, and it is so amazing to witness that plants really like to grow this way! You can see a list of plants that especially love to live in the Boskke planter here. Amazing, don't you think?

Beautifully designed Little Quote Jars, by Make History!
Ava will be four in less than two weeks! I can't believe my baby girl is getting so big so fast… She went through a huge growth spurt the last half year, both physically and intellectually, and she's rapidly developing into a little school girl. Sweet!
I love having conversations with her. She's talking so maturely at times, but at the same time keeps making adorable grammatical mistakes, or is combining two words into one (my favourite Ava word at the moment is 'clapplause' — which she requests every night after she's finished her plate).
Make History!, the company we know from the gorgeous Time Capsules, has recently come up with another beautifully designed product, the Little Quote Jar. A simple glass jar with an oversized cork top, with enough space to hold the (included) notebooks and pencil, and a slot in the top to 'post' your quote. I'm loving it! It permanently lives on our table, in close reach to us all, so we can immediately write down all the funny things we say. (And it looks beautiful!)

PS I loved reading Joanna's post of the sweet things her son Toby says. Toby is the exact same age as Ava!
Darling, luxurious blankets from Sture & Folke
Karin Stenmarck is a Swedish designer living in Switzerland, who makes her collection of Sture & Folke blankets entirely by hand, using only the most high quality materials like Liberty fabrics, cotton velvet and natural linen. Her blankets are really beautiful; they are the kind of baby product that you just love to keep around in your house — baby, or not! The toddler comforter has a wonderful, generous size (I use it as a lap blanket myself all the time), and the different little ribbons on the front are not only stylish decoration, they are also great for babies who love to play with them.

Sweet wall hooks from Luez Design and Play
Luez Design and Play is a small New York-based design agency which is all about fun and simple design. The designer, Laura Rodriguez, creates products that appeal to both children and adults, and that will continue to add character to your home as your family grows. I love this little House Wall Hook, an adorable little decor piece by itself, but a useful hook at the same time. It is available in three pretty colours, and comes beautifully wrapped in a cardboard box, which includes screws and plugs to hang it. It would make such a cute gift (for a housewarming maybe?).
All items from Luez Design and Play are designed with love in New York City, and made with love in the USA.

Five second rule
In my house, one of the first rules my children will quote is the famous 'five second rule'. It is the rule that, if any food has fallen on the floor in the kitchen, it can possibly still be eaten f it is picked up very quickly. (They learned very quickly that the five second rule did not apply to the lovely streets and boulevards of Paris!)
I always thought the five second rule was a complete myth and just a good excuse for tired parents not to have to go fetch yet another cookie or throw away a sandwich with just one bite in it, but turns out I was possibly wrong. Scientist at a British University have found proof that the five second rule could actually be true! I love it!
Now I am wondering, is the five second rule just a European thing? Or even maybe just an English thing?

Spring is here! Say it with pillows.
Because yesterday was the (official) first day of spring, I finally finished a little project I have been working on… Pillows! I used mixed techniques to put words on them — embroidery, appliqué, and painting with textile paint. I especially enjoyed the embroidery work — it's been a long time since I did embroidery, and I forgot how much fun it is!
Happy spring everyone!!
Bring spring inside!
Spring is around the corner! And very literally so — my neighbours pruned their trees last week and I brought some of the branches in. And look! The forsythia, cherry blossom and magnolia are so pretty. (And Ava also pruned the neighbours' flowers, oops!)

My house tour featured on Houzz
The lovely Lauren from Houzz asked to pop over a few weeks ago to take some photos of our home and do a little interview about our house renovation project. She and photographer, Noah Darnell, stopped by just as we were serving pancakes, the kiddos still in their pyjamas. They snapped these photos before taking photos of the rest of the house, and I love that they captured the Saturday pancake ritual in our home. (Usually I am in my pyjamas too, of course! But still!)
If you would like to see photos of our home on Houzz and read about our renovation, you can click here. Thank you Houzz for the feature!

XL angels by Jurianne Matter
Jurianne Matter is a Dutch designer and I'm a big fan of her work. The clever ways she uses paper and patterns is just wonderful! These XL angels are new in her collection and are such a lovely way to decorate your house for the holidays.
If you don't know Jurianne's work yet, check out the rest of her designs here — the pop up posters are so beautiful, and many of her other products make cute little gifts to pop in the mail for far away friends… (All available through Bijzonder Mooi.)

Christmas crackers from Toast
Our Christmas is a bit of a cultural melting pot. One of my brothers lives in Germany, the other in Ireland, my parents are based in Italy and we arrive from France. Of course we all like to bring along some traditions from all of our countries, so we have these hilarious meals where we start off with foie gras which we drink with German Sekt (sparkling wine) and finish up with mince pies and panatone topped off with a good port. The stilton lands on the cheese plate beside the parmesan and there are furious debates about whether Scottish oatcakes taste like sawdust and should never be eaten with gorgonzola or if this is the best fusion food ever.
One of the traditions I do miss from my time in London are Christmas crackers, which are really hard to get in France, not to mention Germany or Italy. They are so much fun to pop! Thanks to the wonderful world wide web, I have started ordering them online form the UK. This year I have decided on the Toast Christmas Crackers which come filled with a little hat, an old recipe and a little gift. Don't they look lovely?

The Little Things… an easy-to-sew child's apron made from a dish towel!
For this week's The Little Things, I'm showing you how to make a super sweet, and super easy-to-make child's apron out of a dish towel! No kidding, if you have a sewing machine (or know someone who does!), you can make this apron.
One simple dish towel and two (shoe) laces is everything you need to get started!
The sweet image above (drawn by Sara Musch) shows you exactly how to do it. Click here for your free download! And yes — it is really that easy. You only need to sew seven straight lines! Two for the arm holes, and five for the pockets…
My mum taught me to use a safety pin to easily thread a ribbon through a channel. It works really well!
The end result is cute as a button. And what a sweet gift for the holidays!
Enjoy making this… (And please share the result in the comments below!)
PS This is the third post in a series which is called 'The Little Things'. Thank you Maud Fontein for taking the beautiful photos, and Sara Musch for the sweet download! I used an apron and shoelaces from Hema, and Ava's shirt is from Nils & Happy to see you.

Theology of the Body for Pre-Schoolers
Help! I have a 3.5 yr. old daughter asking me questions with which I am not equipped to deal.Basically it all centers around modesty, or her lack thereof. My struggle with raising my children is that I am trying to strike a balance between 1) teaching them to embrace the beauty and function of the human body as God designed it and 2) imbuing them with an understanding of the virtue of modesty. I started by teaching a two year old the anatomically correct nouns for the human genitalia. Now, I am … [Read more...]

Bringing Up Boys
It has now been a few weeks since I finished Bringing Up Boys by Dr. James Dobson, but I must say, his words have surely resonated in my head a few times since then, compelling to me to mother my two beloved boys in a certain way.

Boys will be boys, and there aren't two ways about it! His initial chapters outline the biol … [Read more...]

What a great performance by one person.
The characters she portrayed were so different
from each other, but done so well. Hats off
to the actor as the evening was very interesting.
Quotes & Highlights
"The freshest and funniest material — aided by Davis' smart and brisk staging — belongs to the 11-year-old Tara and her fixation on somehow mitigating the physical differences between her own dark complexion and that of her class's most popular blond, blue-eyed girl." —LA Weekly (Go!)

The only soap I use on my body and face! Its helped me nurse my skin back to health when I had painful cystic acne breakouts, and now I use it in conjunction with SSC's Glycolic Cleanser to help keep my acne at bay.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've always liked Dove. It's a great cleanser for the body (I don't really use it on my face, I'm too afraid to) It's the creamiest body bar I've ever used, doesn't leave me feeling stripped. I don't buy it all that often since I use a lot of body wash, it leaves the shower cleaner meaning cleaning it less often :) If I had an HG cleansing bar, Dove would be it.
More reviews by VintageAmbition
A good everyday use soap bar. Not so drying unlike any soaps out there. Would recommend and buy again.
For me, there is just something odd about this soap that irritates my 'most sensitive parts' - if you know what I mean. It's okay for the rest of my skin, although it needs a lot of rinsing, but when it comes to my 'personal parts' it burns like crazy while I am using it. I wind up rinsing and rinsing and telling myself "why did I do that again?", so I know it's not a one shot deal. This even happens with the sensitive skin formula, so there must be an ingredient Dove uses that just doesn't agree with me, because I use Safeguard, a so-called 'harsher' antibacterial soap down there and have not had the same reaction. Dove stays on the store shelves for me.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This soap is great. I don't know why people would use it to clean their face though, there are face products for that. I haven't ever had any problems with it.
More reviews by Married2TheChiWhiteSox56
Gorgeous Soap. The Smell is Fantastic!!!!!!!!! Dove is the very best from there Bars to there Body Washes. I Love Dove soooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the best Bar out there. Not Drying..simply perfect!!!!! and will continue using it!!!!!! :) I LOVE YOU DOVE!!!!!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!! A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Dove soap because it's not drying at all, and the pink soap bars are the best color after the white ones.
I would definitly buy this product again.
Don't like the filmy feeling after using this. I have to rinse and scrub a lot to feel clean. But it does get me clean. Washes off oils and body odor, which I had a problem with with ivory. Have yet to see if it makes the breakouts on my body worse or not.
Edit: It seems the only way to get any moisturizing power out of this is if you leave the film on your skin. Otherwise, it is fairly drying. My toes feel silky when I wiggle them. But the rest of my body will still need moisturizers since I'm afraid of leaving the film on my acne prone skin. On the positive side, the soap cleans me thoroughly enough to prevent most breakouts and doesn't seem to be causing any either.
This is the only bar soap I buy on a regular basis for my body. It is mild and not drying. I can even use this on my face if I run out of face wash! Works great.
I came across this about a year ago through my bestfriend. I was suffering from extremely bad back,chest, and shoulder acne. I was trying all the body washes for body acne and pads containg salicylic acid. Nothing was working! It just kept getting worse and started getting red and flaky. I was so embarrassed. Her birthday is in august and we were going out and we were looking for cute summer dresses. When she saw she said how she use to have the same thing and her older sister. She said to use dove soap and how it helps with that and how she doesnt have it anymore. So I gave it a try. First thing, the smell is soooo unbelievably beautiful. Its soft and calming and so clean smelling. I love it. Does not leave any sort of residue or sticky feeling like some soaps can do. Leaves you smelling beautiful, clean and super soft. Non irriating. Helped with my body acne sooo much. I thought it might help with my face skin. It was too irriating on my face. On my body its great!! My brother now loves this too. Great product. Love this so much!

Of Course You Can Track Domino's Pizza On Smartwatches Now
Hungry Americans can monitor their deep pans on Pebbles. Will the UK be next?
Hungry Americans can monitor their deep pans on Pebbles. Will the UK be next?
The Domino's tracker is legit, but only as legit as the people in the store let it be.
A little while ago Pizza Hut introduced their strangely desirable-looking 'cheeseburger pizza', and now the opposite has happened: a burger made of pizza made in celebration of the NFL International Series coming to London.
It's just like in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Who on earth orders a plain pizza when there are so many types of exciting salty processed meat on offer?
Bored hackers claim to have breached the defences of the Dominos France and Belgium web site, accessing critical topping preference details of some 648,000 customers.
We may be entering the season of BBQs and ice creams, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy a pizza every now and again. What better way to serve them than a plate designed to look like a pizza?

Latest News
Homicide team's now leading case of missing Langley man
Jennifer Saltman, The ProvincePublished: Friday, August 15, 2014
Whenever Craig Hannon takes his granddaughter shopping, they see posters with his son Nicholas's smiling face plastered everywhere.
"Aly turns to me and says, 'Silly uncle Nick, why doesn't he come home?' " Hannon said Thursday.
It's a question that has dogged the Hannon family since Nicholas vanished without a trace almost six months ago.
Craig Hannon speaks Thursday in Surrey about his son Nicholas, missing since last February, a case which has been taken over by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
Gerry Kahrmann, PNG
Nicholas, 19, was last seen by his brother in the Walnut Grove area of Langley on Feb. 26.
The next day, his locked vehicle was found abandoned in the 10400-block of McKinnon Crescent, by Derby Reach Regional Park.
Right away, Craig Hannon had a feeling that something bad had happened to his son.
He said his son wasn't having any issues and that it was out of character for him to leave and not contact his family.
The remote area where his vehicle was found was not a place that Nicholas frequented.
"Life was good, he was really doing well," Hannon said.
"Nick is wonderful son, he's a great brother and a dearly loving uncle."
Nicholas's family has never given up hope - even offering a $10,000 reward for his safe return.
However, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced on Thursday that it has taken over the case.
"Our deepest fears may be a reality," Hannon said.
IHIT has been liaising with Langley RCMP since the investigation began, but didn't take over the file until mid-April.
Staff-Sgt. Jennifer Pound said investigators believe that Nicholas was murdered.
"Right from the beginning, this didn't look normal," Pound said.
Now, police are looking for more information from the public to help bring Nicholas home to his family.
"We know there are individuals out there who have details, who may have intimate details, and we're asking those individuals to do the right thing," Pound said.
Hannon echoed Pound's plea, saying his family believes someone out there has the strength to come forward.
"I hope they can see the pain that we're suffering," Hannon said.
Anyone with information about Hannon's disappearance is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email email@example.com.
If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip at solvecrime.ca.

I made a layout with some slightly ugly code for making rounded boxes with CSS and HTML, and wanted a way to automate the boxes. I had thought of having two functions to print starting and ending code, but this seems nicer. This goes with the other application helpers:

Wednesday 26th November 2014
Carlson Wagonlit Travel in the UK has achieved ISO 14001 accreditation for its environmental management standards.
To earn the accolade, CWT said it "brought its sustainability efforts together under one framework, updated its environmental policy and created an environmental management system that sets performance measures and actions with the goal of continuous improvement".
In 2011, CWT UK has committed to a minimum 5% reduction across all output measurements, such as waste and energy usage.
The core initiatives that contributed to the accreditation included making its vehicle fleet more green, a comprehensive "reduce and recycle" scheme, and educating staff and clients on sustainable ways to travel and work.

What they didn't sayon January 29, 2014 @ 5:53 am (Updated: 12:13 pm - 1/29/14 )
But here's what neither she nor the president acknowledge: Not every American is like that.
Not every American has the kind of drive that politicians seem to have. Not everybody wants to start a small business or invent a better iPhone.
They're not lazy. They're just not that ambitious. Does that mean they don't get to work at a decent job or start a family?
The Republican response began this way, "The most important moments right now aren't happening in the Oval Office or in the House Chamber, they're in your homes - kissing your kids good night, getting ready for tomorrow's doctor's visit, or searching for that big job interview."
She's right. Some people just want a secure home. They don't seek fame, great power, or a lot of money. They want a family with bedtime stories, school plays, soccer games in the mud.
But right now, the free market is telling a lot of these people: sorry, your skills aren't good enough, get new ones. Sorry, there aren't enough family wage jobs, both of you will have to work, better luck in the next life.
And that's why higher wages are center stage because a lot of people who know they have a strong work ethic but who see their living standards dropping are sensing that something's wrong and it's not them.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Case proves system works, police say
Accused man freed after checks and balances 'came together'
That Robert Maier is a free man today is proof fail-safes in the criminal justice system work and they prevented a miscarriage of justice.
That's the official response from the Winnipeg Police Service after the sudden collapse this week of a homicide case that saw Maier, 38, jailed for eight months on a manslaughter charge only to later find out the man he was accused of killing in a rooming-house suite actually died of a drug overdose.
"With the information we had at hand, we believed there was sufficient evidence to lay a charge of manslaughter," Supt. Gordon Perrier said in response to questions left hanging from the unusual development.
Perrier said the decision to charge Maier with manslaughter in connection with the Feb. 25 death of Ron McKinnon inside 626 Balmoral St. came after consultation with the Crown attorney's office, which is routine in serious cases.
Perrier said investigators didn't recommend any particular outcome to prosecutors, but naturally had formed an opinion as to what they believed happened in the case.
One of the major questions looming after the charge was dropped, however, revolves around how police had issued an official statement on March 1 saying an autopsy conclusively linked injuries McKinnon suffered from an assault Maier committed to the death.
This wasn't true. As court heard this week, McKinnon actually died of the overdose. It took nearly eight months for toxicology and autopsy reports to be finalized in the case, a delay attributed to the complexities of the necessary testing and systemic pressures.
Perrier wouldn't speak to what information the medical examiner's office initially provided homicide investigators or comment on the contents of any reports from the ME's office. He agreed police investigators may have been offered a preliminary opinion to go on.
Police investigations don't end when charges are laid, Perrier suggested. As new information comes in, things can, and do, change, he said.
Maier was freed Wednesday after being cleared of allegations he killed McKinnon. But he pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm and received a sentence of eight months' time served.
Maier admitted kneeing and twice punching the 54-year-old McKinnon many hours before he was found dead in his suite, but swore from the outset he had nothing to do with killing him.
Judge Carena Roller was told a preliminary autopsy report issued just after McKinnon's death stated cause of death couldn't be known until toxicology results were completed.
"(Medical examiners) were not in a position without that information to make a final determination," the Crown told Roller. Toxicology results wouldn't be finalized until late September, and ultimately found McKinnon died from an overdose of alcohol and prescription pills.
Investigators initially believed McKinnon died as a result of blood loss from a lacerated cheek, the Crown said. It wasn't made clear, however, on what basis police arrived at this conclusion, and it was one Maier's defence lawyer said never rang true.
"It made no sense and sounded speculative and improbable," Martin Glazer said.
When it comes to deciding whether to lay a charge, police use a "reasonableness" threshold as a guide, said Perrier. After the prosecution commences, Crown attorneys then assess whether going ahead with the case is in the public interest and whether there's a reasonable likelihood of conviction.
In the end, systemic checks and balances brought about the correct outcome in Maier's case. "These systems all kind of came together," said Perrier.
Maier has a lengthy criminal record, court heard. The Crown asserted he likely would have been denied bail if he had applied for it after his arrest.

By: Jamie McFadden"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." - Dr. Seuss
Here's a toast to a new friend that we met in July who quickly became our best friend. Although you started with a wee bit of controversy… we were happy to join you all summer long. Thank you for the memories: the star-lit movie screenings, acoustic Tuesdays, Visit Philly's Beer Garden Series and countless food samplings throughout the summer. Cheers to you for just always being there when we needed an escape from the hustle and bustle. I speak for all 50,000 of your friends when I say I'm going to miss you dearly. Your absence will leave a vacant lot in our hearts.
You connected all of us to the South Street West Community. Each visit we made, each beer we drank and every pin we lovingly purchased, supported the very special PHS City Harvest program. Thank you dear garden for all your beauty and thank you South Street West Community for welcoming PHS into your amazing neighborhood.. For this we are eternally grateful.
Luckily, for all of us we have ONE FINAL week with you, our beloved PHS Pop Up Garden. Just seven short days to celebrate the garden and rehash a summer's worth of memories. Blocktober Fest kicks off this farewell tour on Saturday, October 11th followed by NFL Sunday, live music on Tuesday and a final goodbye on Sunday, October 19th.
Let's all raise a glass, our phones and cheers to just one more week of beer, food trucks, garden selfies, acoustic tunes, hammock laying and just relaxing in the wonderment of the PHS Pop Up Garden. Visit the garden until October 19th and show your love for the garden that loves you back.
Just for fun, submit photos of the garden on Twitter and Instagram by tagging #PHSPopUpGarden and you will be entered to win two tickets to the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show! And who knows, maybe the next great pop up is just around the corner.
