Casual Dressing: Converse
I once dated a guy who told me that he preferred girls in skinny jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and Converse. Of course it's a classic combination, but at that moment in time when he delivered his womenswear preferences I happened to be dolled up in a gorgeous Topshop Boutique Silk dress and Kurt Geiger heels. It probably doesn't come as a surprise to you that I wanted to throw my espresso martini in his face over his lack of appreciation for my efforts. There I was, trying my best to look all 90's minimal glamour and all he really wanted was a plain Jane.
Casual dressing has never been my thing (as a five year old I would wear prom dresses just to go to the corner shop) but with the huge infiltration of normcore (it still hurts to use that term) and the fact it's just so comfortable and easy, the casual has become unavoidable.
Street-style photographers and paparazzi seem to have developed an obsession with chasing down 'off duty models' between catwalk shows wearing a pair of skinny jeans, an oversized tee and a leather jacket, so it's no surprise that there has become an element of laid back glamour pinned on to the most basic sartorial choices.
But I can't ever be a total plain Jane. So when Cloggs got in touch with me to take part in customising a pair of classic Converse, I couldn't resist turning the laces a bright neon pink with a set of Dylon Fabric pens. With the addition of a bold pink lipstick (Nars Audacious Claudia lipstick incase you were wondering), black skinny jeans and hazy grey layering, this is casual dressing meets casual glamour.
Plain Jane who?
Can I Really Pull Off Over The Knee Boots?
Topshop Control2 Boots | Mango Coat | Zara Jumper | Topshop Skirt | Zara Bag | ASOS Sunglasses
Over the knee boots are my forbidden fruit: something that I always really wanted, but never thought I could (or should) have. The chocolate cake to all dieters. The tall-dark-handsome-man my best mate just started dating (sorry...)
Why? Whilst the models in Vogue and street-style stars with lean-queen proportions seem to pull these boots off in a state of what can only be described as over-the-knee nirvana, a more bottom-heavy and curvaceous me would more likely fall into the territory of moderately-priced-dancer in a Magaluf strip club.
But despite tweeting this a year ago, and writing at the top of my New Years Resolutions for 2014 "get skinny enough not to look like chubby hooker in over the knee boots," I seemed to have had a change of heart.
No, I certainly haven't lost any weight this year (*cries into burger*) despite joining two different gyms and coaxing several free sessions out of the personal trainers, but I did disregard all of my own personal views to try out this trend, probably due to overexposure to over the knee boots on Instagram.
The main issue I faced? (Not including my thigh circumference)
Finding the perfect pair. It seemed everywhere seemed to be stocked with flat heeled boots (purrfect if you really want to look like puss-in-boots), Stiletto heeled boots (if you really want to unleash your inner-dominatrix publicly), Pirate boots (too flappy at the top, a bit too Captain Jack Sparrow for me), and Chunky Platform heeled boots (I'm just not that into emulating Posh Spice before she became the modern VB incarnation we all now love.)
This left one question on my mind for months:
Did a pair of black suede over the knee boots with a small but chunky heel exist anywhere on the planet that wasn't going to withdraw £500+ from my penniless purse?
All hail Topshop. Queen of the High Street. Topshop's Control2 over the knee boots have padding in the leg to hold the boots in place, and have the perfect sixties-esque 3inch heel.
The biggest surprise? They were oddly flattering and I didn't look like Pretty Woman post-pizza binge.
The Tartan Suit
Tartan suits are a bit of a weird one. They are an unknown territory that I previously assigned only to very dapper men who know their tailoring, or tall and thin models who have very dapper boyfriends they could 'borrow' tartan suits from and wear with all of the nonchalant elegance of a rock-star-ballet-dancer.
I am not a dapper man. Or a model or a rock star. And I gave up ballet dancing when I was four years old because they would't let me wear a pink tutu to class. So in a complete lapse of sensibility and self identity I ordered a tartan suit anyway hoping for the best... and this is what I got.
I came to realise that there is a very fine line between a gritty-grunge-chic aesthetic and emulating TV presenter extraordinaire Lorraine
Kelly circa 1992. The vital difference between the two lies in
the colour palette of the checks, the tailoring of the suit, and the
accessories you wear with it (I stand by the fact that Louboutin's are capable
of resurrecting any poor sartorial choice. Lorraine darling: take
A major criticism? The trousers. They fit on the hips, rather than the waist.
Cue flashback to my youth when 'hipster jeans' were all the rage. And not as in
trendy East-Londoner hipster jeans. I'm talking about those awful low-rise,
hip-hugging, muffin-top-inducing, g-string-revealing
jeans that should be suppressed deep in our memories
along with Furby's and that time your boyfriend cheated on you with your best friend at the school disco...
Inside the Studio with Matthew Williamson
Ask anyone working in the fashion industry what's so great about London Fashion Week and they'll tell you it's all about the designers. Words like fresh, gritty, and edgy are thrown about to describe the homegrown city talent. Still, LFW can sometimes viewed as inferior to the classic Paris and Milan fashion weeks, but there's something so innately different about the London fashion scene that you cannot find anywhere else.
London has no boundaries. There are no limits.
Elements of electricity and dynamism fuel
the creativity of the capital. London has the environment that
nurtures homegrown talent, providing a platform for new designers to develop
and adapt to the ever-changing landscape of fashion, design and
technology. In a city of diversity and constantly streaming inspiration, it is a
young designers playground for experimentation.
Here we find Matthew Williamson. After showcasing his first collection at
LFW in 1997, three years after graduating from Central Saint Martins, he is a
classic example of native British talent putting London on the fashion
"Our brand has a super clear DNA it's rooted in that sense of bohemian,
jet-set sensibility so that's always the cornerstone, the anchor of each
collection." - Matthew Williamson.
The SS15 collection was a revision of
Williams' signature roots. Kaleidoscopic colour palettes were
fused with eclectic prints, giving a relaxed bohemian Seventies energy.
Feather-weight silks twist, lift and billow in the
breeze. Fluorescent-paradise shades in peacock blues, hibiscus pink,
and sunset oranges painted trademark maxi gowns and pencil skirts.
Every designer needs a muse. Matthew works
alongside Georgie MacIntyre, his Artistic Director, who shares his visions of
print and textile mastery and design.
"My job as artistic director really is to
inspire Matthew and help him realise his vision. More recently we've worked a
lot closer on the inspirations and designs." Georgie MacIntyre.
For SS15 the vision is clearer
than ever: a Seventies revival drenched in the rich colours of a hot summers
day. The whole collection was crying out for an exotic beach break on the white
sands of Ibiza.

Great thought...
I have always wondered that as well...
I firmly believe that every single word written or spoken by government "officials" and perpetuated ad nauseum by the corporate controlled media HAS to be a lie. It is the nature of the beast, it knows no truth and to speak truth would be it's demise.
I have pondered many times that perhaps the tobacco herb has very beneficial properties that are countering big pharma's onslaught on our health.
That's it! I'm starting smoking again! lol
Seriously though, I think there is some truth to what I was saying.
Hey Archons', we are taking our planet back and there's nothing you can do about it!

Some hunters believe a gobbler's beard can wear off, or even rot off. Can it? We investigate.
The Results: Firelapping clearly improved the accuracy of this revolver as you can see from this table. The kit worked as-advertised (though to save time, I did have to buy the 280 grit compound which was not included) and produced excellent results. This process isn't brain surgery, if you follow the instructions in Beartooth's manual—you can do this at home.
The Background: Ever since I read Ross Seyfried's piece on "Firelapping" in an old issue of Guns & Ammo, I've been intrigued by the process. These days, Beartooth Bullets sells a complete firelapping kit which helps unlock the mystery for first-time firelappers.
By Keith Wood
The Myth: Hunting is just for guys.

Sean Eldridge Launches New York Congressional Campaign
September 23, 2013 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
This morning, Sean Eldridge announced his run to represent New York's 19th District, challenging Republican Rep. Chris Gibson, who scored a zero on HRC's 112th Congressional Scorecard.
Now president of the investment fund Hudson River Ventures, Eldridge has a long commitment to LGBT equality and advocacy work. Eldridge, who is openly gay, worked full-time in support of marriage equality in 2010 and 2011 as communication director and then political director of Freedom to Marry. He also served on the board of directors of Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders and on the finance committee of Mainers United for Marriage Equality.
Additionally, Eldridge has supported numerous LGBT candidates across the country and in partnership with HRC has helped raise resources, expand networks and win difficult races.
Eldridge is married to American entrepreneur Chris Hughes, cofounder of Facebook and editor-in-chief of The New Republic.

The company that introduced the Textspresso machine to the world has now released its desktop cloud texting application for Linux.
Standardization is the biggest issue facing the open source cloud today, says Imad Sousou, director of Intel's Open Source Technology Center. Adoption of open formats and interfaces will ensure flexibility and choice for users and vendors of the cloud.
This week in the open source cloud headlines, SUSE makes a splash with its pro-open blog post on Forbes and a shout-out from OStatic for its own cloud contribution. Rackspace and HP both debuted OpenStack-based clouds this week. And Netflix released its Chaos Monkey cloud-testing application to the open source community.
Editor's Note: This profile is part of an ongoing weekly series on Leaders of the Open Cloud in advance of CloudOpen, Aug. 29-31 in San Diego.
This week's top open source cloud news features VMware's acquisition of Nicira; a Q&A with Citrix's Mark Hinkle; the pros and cons of open source cloud platforms for IT managers; and insider news that Nebula has enticed some Rackspace developers away.
Much debate has occurred recently over whether Amazon's API should be considered a de facto standard by cloud computing service providers. Those who reject this notion (ahem, Lew Moorman) say you can't clone Amazon's cloud by copying its API alone.
As the Senior Director of Cloud Computing Community at Citrix, Mark Hinkle oversees Citrix efforts around the open source Apache CloudStack IaaS platform and Xen hypervisor projects.
Citrix is still very closely involved in CloudStack, which was donated to the Apache Software Foundation in April. Citrix developers are now involved in driving user adoption for CloudStack and helping to shepherd the project through the Apache Foundation's incubation process.
This week's open source cloud headlines include several OpenStack-related announcements, denials from VMware that it might spin off its own open source Cloud Foundry and a new global-scale CloudStack deployment.

Congratulations to Brian Beck and Sabrina Aqil, our two winners in The Linux Foundation's 2012 "Inspired by Linux" T-shirt Design Contest! Their awesome t-shirt designs took first and second place, respectively, in the community vote.

WWW Miami SF: A. Radwanska v Bartoli

Aga leads H2H 6-0.
No Vika left in the tourney. Another great streak of 2012.
Mar 29th, 2012, 01:54 AM
Please Marion. :tape: A lot of tides have changed in this tournament. If Marion can beat Vika, she can beat Lurch.
Mar 29th, 2012, 01:55 AM
Probs Aga, but if Marion can play like she did today, she could win.

Agnieszka sadly, she basically has Marion's number

Marion played incredible tonight. But she also fall for every trick in Radwanska's sleeve. Hard to tell :scratch: :shrug:
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:02 AM
I am actually OK with either one winning..It would be great if Marion could take the title after what she did tonight.
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:03 AM
Should be a very interesting match. Aga should win it. Though, if Marion will be playing like today, she has a nice chance.
Normally I'd prefer Masha to win the tourney, but the haters made me cheer for Aga so bad :fiery:
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:04 AM
Aga should send Marion flowers for getting Vika out of her way.
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:05 AM
She should return like hell to have a chance. Vika was too braindead to try dropshotting Marion to death tonight, I doubt Aga will forget this tactic. I hope it's a good match.
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:07 AM
unfortunately radwanska will probably win. Over the years she's had an even harder time with radwanska then she has with vika
but hopefully marion can pull this off
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:09 AM
Aga should thank marion for taking out vika, hence she should gift the next match on a silver plate to marion just like how nana did it to maria in the QF :inlove:
:sobbing: argh, no...i am undecided. hopefully, marion in 3 :)
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:09 AM
I like Marion, but I hope Aga win!
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:14 AM
Marion played a great match today but this is the nightmare match up for her.
Aga has won 12 straight sets against her and Marion has won more than 3 games in only 2 of those 12 sets. That is a comprehensive edge. And of course on top of that Aga is a substantially better player than when they last met. Realistically Aga winning this comfortably in straight sets is very much the most likely outcome.
That said both girls are having the season of their lives thus far in their career so it should be a fine match and if against the odds Marion can find a way to win I certainly won't have a problem with that. If she can beat Azarenka and Radwanska back to back she will be very deserving of her place in the final.
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:16 AM
We are not having this shit. Maria is the only one who can win this tourney now because I will not have Aga, Bartoli, or Caro win a slam and not Jelena. That would be a disgrace.
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:16 AM
Marion will outhit Aga off the court. She will be relentless and destroy Aga :sad:
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:20 AM
Aga's winning streak against Marion has to stop at some point and this may be it, ...but Aga is my fave so I still want her to win. Both of them had a great day today, too bad only one of them can win the next match.
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:20 AM
The vulture will pick this carcas bare.
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:27 AM
Aga in 2 - come on! :cheer:
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:30 AM
I would like Bartoli to win. But I just get the feeling she won't. Aga will wear her down in 3 I reckon.
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:34 AM
Bartoli, handily.
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:41 AM

Mar 29th, 2012, 02:42 AM
Aga and maria can thanks Marion for taking Vika out :oh:
On topic : hopefully Marion will find a way to finally score a win against Aga.She needs to focus on her game and not let Aga make her run all around the court.
Mar 29th, 2012, 02:44 AM
Aga, kick that bitch out !!
Bartoli should enjoy this victory while it lasts. After all, Azarenka has had more success in the last 10 weeks than Bartoli will in her whole career.

Might as well ballbash the fuck out of this match Marion, nothing to lose :lol:
Mar 29th, 2012, 12:17 PM
You would think Agniezska would win comfortably as she has the game to disrupt marion's natural rhythm, the thing with Marion she loves pace coming onto her and a same ball everytime which radwanska won't give her but you never count out marion as she does win a lot of matches that she shouldn't.
Mar 29th, 2012, 01:46 PM
Come on AGa!!! Don't f*ck this up!!! Win the whole thing now!!!!

Hopefully Marion produces some of the magic from the Azarenka match. If she does, she could win.
Mar 29th, 2012, 03:51 PM
I think Marion hates to play Aga, because of her movement, this match-up reminds me the Hingis-Seles one regarding the power and lack of mobility of Seles (Marion) and Hingis doing whatever she wanted with the ball and made Seles run and be out of position to release her 2 fisted strokes.
But if Marion plays well she can trouble Aga though, it´s going to be interesting.

Mar 29th, 2012, 09:59 PM
I think Radwanska's got this. She's got the head-to-head mastered, and Bartoli's never been able to maintain the level of play she showed against Azarenka.
Sombrerero loco
Mar 29th, 2012, 11:24 PM
please destroy her tonight aga
Mar 30th, 2012, 12:11 AM
So if I have this right, Bartoli won the first set the first time they played, 6-0, but then has lost the next 12 sets in a row to have a 0-6 H2H record vs. Radwanska.
She really is crazy...

I am an American living in Europe
I have spent many years living mostly year-round in two EU countries and have traveled extensively and/or worked in at least a dozen more since 9/11.
I can't remember meeting one European in all of this time who isn't skeptical of the official version of what happened at the WTC, if they have an opinion at all. (Most do.) Many have told me they were skeptical when they saw the first TV news versions that day.
And, yes, most Europeans I know are just as skeptical of the EU elites and their own nation's governments in much the same way we DP'ers are.
I have experienced no versions of "Euro Exceptionalism" to match the dogma that many advocate in the USA. (However, some Brits are rather "snobbish" about the UK.)

medici.tv to Present World Premiere of Philip Glass' PERFECT AMERICAN, 2/6
On February 6, medici.tv will present a live webcast of the historic world premiere production of The Perfect American, Philip Glass's new opera about Walt Disney. At 75, Glass is one of the towering figures of 20th-century music, and perhaps the most successful composer alive today. The world premiere of his new opera will take place at Madrid's Teatro Real, which commissioned the piece.
The Perfect American is the first opera to take Walt Disney as its subject, as it imagines his final months. Following a novel of the same name by Peter Stephan Jungk, Glass depicts Disney as a complex, contradictory figure: a gifted European immigrant in pursuit of the American dream, whose youth was marred by misfortune and whose politics were jingoistic, but who remains central to American popular culture almost half a century after his death. The opera's recreation of his world is enriched by portrayals of Disney's wife, Lillian; his confidante (and perhaps mistress) Hazel George; his brother, Roy; his children, Diane and Sharon; his close but ill-treated collaborators; and famous figures such as Andy Warhol.
At the helm of the new production are music director Dennis Russell Davies, who has led almost all Glass's opera premieres to date, and stage director Phelim McDermott. English bass Christopher Purves stars as Walt Disney, alongside David Pittsinger as his brother, Roy; Marie McLaughlin as his wife, Lillian; Sarah Tynan as his Daughter Sharon; Janis Kelly as his confidante, Hazel; Nazan Fikret as Lucy; and John Easterlin as Andy Warhol.
The Perfect American will be broadcast live on February 6 at 2pm EDT and will be available for free replay for the next 90 days. More information is available at www.medici.tv/ - /the-perfect-american-philip-glass-teatro-real-world-premiere.
Through his operas, symphonies, compositions for his own ensemble, and collaborations with artists ranging from Twyla Tharp to Allen Ginsberg, and from Woody Allen to David Bowie, Philip Glass has had an extraordinary and unprecedented impact upon the musical and intellectual life of his times.
The operas - Einstein on the Beach, Satyagraha, Akhnaten, and The Voyage, among many others - play throughout the world's leading houses, and rarely to an empty seat. Glass has written music for experimental theater and for Academy Award-winning motion pictures such as The Hours and Martin Scorsese's Kundun, while Koyaanisqatsi, his initial filmic landscape with Godfrey Reggio and the Philip Glass Ensemble, may be the most radical and influential mating of sound and vision since Fantasia. His associations, personal and professional, with leading rock, pop and world music artists date back to the 1960s, including the beginning of his collaborative relationship with artist Robert Wilson. Indeed, Glass is the first composer to win a wide, multi-generational audience in the opera house, the concert hall, the dance world, in film and in popular music, simultaneously.

Motorists benefit from valuable feedback on mileage, acceleration, braking and cornering. In addition, the system will automatically alert Mondial Assistance emergency services in the event of a vehicle crash.

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...
