text: Ho! Ho! Ho! We're feeling really festive in the Grazia office right now. And it looks like the Christmas cheers is spreading on the streets – especially with red coats being a hot trend. And Sophie Dalglish, 30, wasn't afraid to admit it to Style Hunter! From her vintage black shiny boots, to the faux fur trimmed collar and hat she's stolen the best of Santa's famous outfit and made it cool! The little polkadot neckerchief and sunnies add fashion attitude. We like. But what do you love about Sophie's outfit? Remember, the most constructive comments could get printed in Grazia magazine.

I don't get what the term "He died for our sins" even means, and I doubt even half of the Christians that use the term even know what it means. If he died for our sins then why are Christians still forced to confess there sins? Why are sins even still around? Speaking of Christian stupidity, my tech class had an evolution debate the other day on our own accord. I was on the accepting side, with I believe 2 or 3 others. We were against like 5 Christians who thought it was complete bull **** .

Britney Spears Fans Are Gonna Be Happyby Free Britney at . Comments
"Britney fans are gonna be so happy in few weeks."
Why? We can't say. But these are the words recently uttered by one of her producers, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, on Ustream. He's been writing for her, as well as Beyonce. Might there be a new offering from the pop star soon?
It's been almost two years since Britney Spears released her comeback album Circus, for which she also toured much of the planet, and fans have been clamoring for any hint that she's getting ready to follow it up ever since.
Is new Britney Spears music finally upon us?
Either that, or Darkchild was just referring to a bunch of images like this one. Girl just can't remember to put a bra on before leaving the house, bless her heart ...

I wish the people who blog/write on this would remain honest and impartial, ever wonder why few people read you and most of them hate you? And the fact that you guys aren't journalists in real life, but just some lame nerds/nerd who has no life except for bitching about people. Its cause you are just pathetic and fail to realize the art of journalism. Talk about being a hypocrite, cause if it was someone else you'd all go ooo la la, but with the ones you hate its going to be put your clothes on. Seriously? You expect this from the actresses/ singers and when they do you go shame on you. Hypocrites!!Thats what you are!
shes cooler than ever.
Is she actually going to have music like she had before? I am so tired of hearing her sing the same words repeatedly. I know she has been through a tough time, but please give us something besides the same words. What happened to the music she use to sing? I loved her music before when she first came out, is the talent still there?

Cabras Apartment Rental Photos and Description
comfortably furnished, traditional environment, inner court yard, terrace
Sa Domu Pepa Rosa, a lovingly restored and modernised old Campidano house, is located in the 'Venezziedda' (little Venice) quarter of Cabras and only a short distance from the lagoon 'Stagno di Cabras'. Pepa Rosa offers 3 separate apartments, each furnished and decorated individually. The apartments downstairs each have 1 bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. The apartment 'Biaitu' on the first floor has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and offers additional sleeping facilities in the living room. While 'BIAITU' sports a large terrace with a wonderful view of the lagoon, the 2 downstairs apartments offer an inner court yard where one can sun bathe in private or enjoy the balmy sardinian summer nights under a starlit sky.
All apartments are air conditioned (doubles as heating on cooler days).
Avid chefs will enjoy the well equipped kitchen.
Our local caretakers speak German and Italian.
Beaches galore : If it's Tuesday it must be Maimoni! The Sinis peninsula is famous for its spacious sand and quartz pebble beaches. Whether enjoying the crystal clear and almost caribbean waters at Maimoni beach or the dramatic waves at Sa Mesa Longa beach: the coastal region around Cabras offers a different beach for every day of the week. Is Arutas, Is Arenas, Mari Ermi, Sa Rocca Tunda and many more are all within easy driving distance from Cabras.
Spectacular sun sets over the 'Catalano', a rock in the open sea, provide the perfect setting for a sun downer at the 'Sole e Mare' in Mari Ermi beach and history buffs will feel transported back into roman and phoenician times at the Tharros excavation site.
The gold of Cabras: Cabras is not only famous for its wonderful beaches but also for the 'bottarga', the dried and salted roe of the mullets fished in the Stagno (lagoon) of Cabras. Due to the color of this fish roe (it ranges from amber to a light golden brown) and it's price the bottarga is also called 'the gold of Cabras'.
Try a plate of 'spaghetti con bottarga' together with a glass of Vermentino - what better way to end a perfect day!
Details for Apartment Biaitu 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 5, 2 Bathrooms
- Suitability:
- Low Allergen Environment
- children welcome
- non smoking only

About Anna Gisela Bröckerhoff
Fo almost 30 years we've been coming to Sardinia and now try to spend as much time as possible in Cabras. Being passionate 'chefs' sardinian cuisine has always fascinated us so much so that in 2012 Hans-Peter published a cookbook with sardinian recipes in German language.
Anna Gisela Bröckerhoff purchased this apartment in 2006
Why Anna Gisela Bröckerhoff chose Cabras
Oranges, olives, pomegranates, myrtle berries, corbezzoli (that's the fruit of the 'strawberry' tree) - who can boast to have these in his own garden? Add roses, lavender, rosemary and the view of the lagoon - must we say more?
What makes this apartment unique
A coast still unspoilt by huge hotels, wonderful nature and beaches galore only a short distance away, friendly people. The town of Cabras is still authentically sardinian, no frills, chic-chic and pretense. We love it!

Tempo Sidekick T&Nd Twisted Pair MultiTester
The Sidekick T&Nd is a multifunction test set that will improve
anytechnician�s testing and trouble shooting capabilities on twisted pair.
It uses digital technology to combine VOM and loop current
tests,longitudinal balance (Stress Test), transmission and noise, open
locator,and load coil detection into one easy-to-use test set. The
testfunctions can be selected and used individually, or run automatically
byusing the innovative Autotest. Autotest can perform 22
consecutiveindividual diagnostic tests and displays a test summary when
completed. Test results are displayed on a 4 line, 20 character, digital LCD
display.This eliminates meter interpretation errors and provides the user
with aclear numerical readout.
Sidekick T&Nd also includes Tempo�s patented Stress Test and
LeakageTest. Stress Test measures the audible noise produced on a pair
whenit is �stressed� as a result of a 90 dBrnC longitudinal
excitation. TheStress Test determines the capacitive and series
resistance balancecharacteristics of a twisted pair at any point along the
pair. It candetect imbalances that other test sets miss and is highly
effective inidentifying series resistance opens (high joints). The
Leakage Testdetects intermittent resistance faults that do not appear under
normalVOM tests. When a faulted pair is taken out of service, galvanic
actionforms an insulating oxide layer over the fault(s). When returned
toservice, such pairs develop �noisy static� in a relatively short period
oftime. The Leakage Test uses 135 Volts to �punch through� the
oxidelayer and reveal the fault.

If your answer is somewhere in the "no" to "sort of, for the most part" range, you've got work to do.

Product Information
- Oobr Booster Seat from Clek
- We recommend this product for ages 4 and up
What It Is
Not all child booster seats are built alike, and with some understated bells and whistles, the Oobr Booster Seat packs a mighty big safety punch while also keeping a colorful design aesthetic. The Oobr Booster Seat has energy-absorbing foam, a magnesium frame, side-impact head protection, and LATCH connectors that ensure a secure installation in your car. Additionally, this booster seat uses a vehicle's existing seat belts to secure your child into the high-back booster seat. As your child grows the high back can be removed to make it a backless booster. Padded arm rests and a cup holder along with a curved headrest and a recline feature make this booster seat a step above the rest. The fabric is moisture and stain-resistant, and the bottom seat is washable.
Is It Fun?
While there are many pros to point out with this booster seat, we had a few concerns. This is a 20-pound booster seat with a high back. It's incredibly heavy and not easy to move between cars. The seat is comfortable but not plush like some other booster seats. The seat itself is not very deep, which might be uncomfortable for kids with long legs. But that said, the safety LATCH feature, magnesium frame, moisture- and stain-resistant fabric, and incline option all make up for the lack of a plush seat. If your child has long legs, you might want to test this out before committing.
Who It's For
The Oobr booster seat is for ages 4 and up. In high-back mode, this can be used with children from 33 to 100 pounds and 38 to 57 inches. In backless mode, it can be used from 40 to 57 inches and 40 to 100 pounds.
What To Be Aware Of
This booster seat is also available in a leather version.

Presenter: Steve Austin & Trish Lake
Documentary-maker David Bradbury
Australian documentary maker David Bradbury has filmed some extraordinary scenes in world history; the final days of the Shah of Iran, life under Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship in Chile, and the struggle between the Free Papua Movement and the Indonesian military.
David began his career in 1972 as a radio journalist with the ABC, and has since received an Academy-award nomination for one of his films. He graduated from the Australian National University with a degree in political science. Two of his first journalistic assignments were to cover the Spring Revolution in Portugal in 1974, and the overthrow of the Greek military junta in Athens the same year. In 1977 David smuggled himself into the border area of Papua New Guinea and West Papua and brought out photos and the first ever interview with the Free Papua Movement.David Bradbury's first film was Frontline, a portrait of legendary Australian news cameraman Neil Davis in Vietnam. It earned him an Academy Award nomination. Frontline also won first prize at the Sydney and Melbourne Film Festivals, the coveted Grierson award at the American Film Festival and was screened worldwide on PBS, BBC and TF1 in France.Another of David's films, Public Enemy Number One, followed the life of controversial Australian journalist Wilfred Burchett, the first western correspondent into Hiroshima after the bomb was dropped. Burchett was vilified by the mainstream press in Australia for his coverage of "the other side" in the Korean and Vietnam wars. David's film won the Golden Gate Award for Best Documentary, the Christopher Statuette, Best Documentary at the Sydney Film Festival, and an AFI award, but was never shown on Australian TV.His latest film Blowin' In The Wind is about the joint military training facility at Shoalwater Bay near Rockhampton. This film follows on from Shoalwater: Up for Grabs which David worked on with then Midnight Oil lead singer Peter Garrett. Blowin' In The Wind looks at some of the health issues surrounding the Shoalwater Bay training facility and the effects of depleted uranium in theatres of war.Frontline Films' patrons include Geoffrey Rush, David Williamson, Thomas Keneally, Judy Davis, Peter Garrett, Max Gillies, and Paul Kelly.

Although this infographic is fairly new, it's stats are off.
It claims that there are 500 million Facebook users (or one in every 13 humans) when actually that number is closer to 585 million, and there are some reports that suggest Facebook has already surpassed the 600 million mark.
One stat that really struck me is that 57% of people talk to people more online than they do in person!

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia – After getting some spare parts, Elana Meyers' USA-1 bobsled was good as new Sunday morning.
The proof was in the results.
Meyers posted the fastest time in one of the two final women's bobsled training runs at the Sochi Olympics, one day after she saw pieces of her sled everywhere after a head-on collision with the wall past the finish line. Team mechanics, she said, worked until 11:30 p.m. Saturday to fix the damage, including replacing some parts with ones from a sled that had been on display in Sochi at USA House.
We were skidding around the braking stretch and I think my runner caught on something and we just skid right into the short wall. Black pieces everywhere, Meyers said Sunday. It was a head-on collision. It was one of the hardest hits I've ever taken in a bobsled. Luckily, we have some amazing mechanics. They were able to get my sled ready to go.
And with that, the U.S. women look ready for the Olympics.
U.S. sleds had the fastest times in both heats Sunday, with Meyers and Lauryn Williams taking the first one, followed by Jamie Greubel and Aja Evans in fourth, and Jazmine Fenlator and Lolo Jones in 10th. In the second heat, Greubel's sled was fastest, Meyers' was fifth and Fenlator's was eighth.
Skier airlifted to Germany
Skicross racer Maria Komissarova was airlifted to Germany for further treatment after surgery on her fractured spine, the Russian freestyle ski federation.
The 23-year-old Komissarova crashed during a training run Saturday, fracturing the 12th dorsal vertebrae in her lower-middle back, and underwent emergency surgery lasting 6 1/2 hours.
The federation declined to discuss the skier's prognosis.

The Walking Dead Return Teaser: Bad Moon Risingby Hilton Hater at . Comments
We love Creedence Clearwater Revival.
But we don't love what the use of one of that group's biggest hits portends for Rick Grimes and company on The Walking Dead Season 4.
AMC has released a new trailer in anticipation of the series coming back on February 9 and it teases a very bad moon rising up ahead. Gulp...
The network has also come out with an official synopsis of what viewers can expect.
Go watch The Walking Dead online to catch up now and scroll down for a glance ahead...
Following the devastating events of the mid-season finale, Rick and the group are still reeling from the loss of their home, family, and friends.
With the destruction of the prison, we see the group of survivors broken apart and sent on divergent paths, unsure of everyone else's fate. What was a challenging life behind fences and walls grows that much more perilous and precious as they are exposed to new dangers, new enemies, and heartbreaking choices.
They will have their faith thoroughly tested -- a faith that breaks some of them and redeems others.

Urban Dwellers
Around 6,000 of the country's brightest minds come to Wisconsin via UW–Madison every year. According to Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, too many of them are leaving for greener tech pastures.
"A lot of the people in high-tech and creative industries really want urban settings," says Cieslewicz. "With the Capitol East District we can offer them what they want, so they'll develop all their amazing entrepreneurial ideas here rather than in Palo Alto or Ann Arbor or Boston."
And what they want, according to Cieslewicz and others working hard to bring Capitol East to life, is to be where it's all happening, both at work and at play.
"All of the startups I've been talking to want to be located downtown, within walking distance of other startups," says Nate Lustig. "It's really important to us to have that cluster of high-tech new businesses sharing ideas, people and all kinds of resources."
Lustig is the founder of Capital Entrepreneurs, a networking group for startups. He's also co-founder of Entrustet, which cares for your digital assets, online accounts and computer files in the event of your death. It's exactly the type of business now driving this new economy. And Lustig says Capitol East is exactly the type of place he and his fellow entrepreneurs want.
Mark Bugher agrees. He's the director of University Research Park, whose new east-side venture, the Metro Innovation Center, encompasses 6,000 square feet inside the historic Gisholt building.
"In focus groups and faculty discussions we determined that our west-side biotech place is just not the kind of place these types of people wanted to be," says Bugher. "We started talking about downtown, and a kind of edgier, vibrant warehouse concept for computer-related startup companies."
Gisholt proved a perfect skeleton. URP leased and built ten suites, all connected to UW's state-of-the-art fiber optics voice and data system, and the space filled quickly.
"There's significant potential for economic development and job creation in the Cap East Corridor, and we felt it was our corporate commitment to help the city's efforts in this area," says Bugher. "Of course our ulterior motive is to help our university grads find jobs here. To keep them in Wisconsin."
Bugher says that, unlike the gleaming labs and bubbling chemicals of the uber-successful, 3,600-employee-strong URP facility, the Innovation Center has an entirely different vibe—but just as much potential.
"The young people currently down here all run different businesses, but they have very similar skill sets, backgrounds, goals and interests," says Bugher. "It's important to them to live in a place as edgy and urban as where they work, to walk to coffee shops, to collaborate in the neighborhood as well as in the building. We've figured out there's a market for this kind of thing, and discussions are under way to expand our presence on that footprint to create more jobs in this certain type of marketplace."
These web-based industries are not the only businesses reminiscent of Silicon Valley now taking up residence—there's venture capital, too. Calumet Venture Fund is one of the current tenants, led by longtime entrepreneur Toni Sikes. Sikes was one of the first tenants in the Commonwealth Building on East Main in 1992, where she founded The Guild to connect artists and buyers.
"I'm an urban person," says Sikes, who moved to Wisconsin from New York in 1990. "I like open spaces, big windows, edgy style. Frankly, I think that's the look and feel many techies and artists prefer. When Calumet decided to open a Wisconsin office ... I wanted to be where I knew there were a number of other startups."
Calumet moved into its space in May, and Sikes quickly became a mentor to another tenant. Heidi Allstop was the winner of the Burrill Business Plan Competition for Student SPILL, an online peer-based support system for college students. Allstop's prize? Space in the center, which she now occupies instead of an office in Philadelphia, where she passed up a lucrative job offer after graduation.
"One of the biggest things that keeps me here is because if you go down my hall it's all startups under five years old," says Allstop. "I look around and see all these other people like me, putting in time and effort because they believe in their cause. It inspires me."
"There are so many amazing tenants in this building, any one of which could turn into the next big company," adds Sikes. "Or ten of them could turn into the next ten companies that employ a hundred people. Because what does everybody need right now? Jobs. Well-paid jobs. The Cap East District is going to help make that happen."

I am very unhappy with some very sharp creases in my latest doily, I have washed the doily several times and have soaked it in vinegar, with no result, the fabric is from a Permin of Copenhagen kit…Continue
Thanks, Connie! It was fun, but any credit really belongs to Mary Corbet for her design, her generosity in sharing it, and her marvellous instruction booklet.
Thank you, Connie, for accepting my friend request.
Thank you, Connie. I'm excited to be part of this forum and read (any maybe contribute to) all the discussions about Hardanger. I just started to seriously stitch Hardanger this year, so I only have a handful of small pieces made. I'm starting to be passionate about it and even started to make a simple design for a box lid topper, which I will use to store a bridal cord I will make. Hmmmm, now, it just striked me... wouldn't a Hardanger bridal cord be lovely to make. I just have to find someone to give it to. :D
Connie, thanks for the welcome. I got all excited when you used the abbreviation SF as I live near San Francisco and was hoping you did as well. Then I realized the SF was Stitchin' Fingers. Sigh...it's not even Monday!
I think I might have to redo mine. I don't think they're lying next to each other, although it's hard to see with white on white.
Lovely Hardanger. I love white on white! I've been noticing it more and more lately, and I wonder if there's a revival?
Thanks! I love all your Hardanger. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy it unitl I dug out my tablecloth ufo.
Thank you for your kind comment, Connie.
Thanks Connie, I appreciate the information, some of the threads look so fine.
Hello Connie, sorry I only caught up with your message now, I'm so far behind. I will keep my eyes open for DMC variations when I go out shopping. Lucky you finding a nice collection like that. Tell me, when you stitch you Hardanger what sizes of threads do you use, there's the blocks and then there's the filling stitches, what sizes do you use for each step. Thank you Happy Stitching.

Direct Student Loans:
Efforts to Resolve Lenders' Problems With Consolidations Are Under Way
HEHS-98-103: Published: Apr 21, 1998. Publicly Released: Apr 21, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed problems lenders had with William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (FDLP) consolidation loans, focusing on: (1) the nature and source of problems Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) lenders have encountered in the direct loan consolidation program; (2) whether these problems affected lenders; and (3) steps the Department of Education and its contractor, Electronic Data Systems (EDS) are taking to correct these problems.
GAO noted that: (1) lenders said their problems came primarily at two stages in the consolidation process--verifying loan data EDS provided and receiving payments for the loans being consolidated; (2) these problems occurred, in part, because borrowers provided poor information or EDS used inaccurate Education-provided data to identify lenders' addresses for loan verification requests; (3) regarding the payments lenders received, in some examples EDS sent inaccurate payments to lenders for loans being consolidated; (4) some lenders received overpayments because EDS paid for the same loan more than once; (5) other examples GAO analyzed had more serious problems, such as several instances in which EDS charged one borrower for a second borrower's loans; (6) however, lenders also received underpayments on occasion, which occurred because not all loans a borrower owed and wanted to consolidate were paid off; (7) in addition to the two problems lenders raised about the process, GAO found a flaw in the transfer of data from EDS to the FDLP servicing system; (8) GAO found that refunds that lenders made for overpayments were not always credited to a borrower's new consolidation loan account; (9) lenders' representatives said that problems associated with FDLP consolidations adversely affected their operations; (10) lenders said that their staffs had to repeatedly complete verification requests or call EDS to explain that a completed certificate had previously been returned; (11) lenders' officials also said that it took time for their staffs to resolve inaccurate payments; (12) in general, however, lenders could not quantify their costs of resolving FDLP consolidation problems; (13) both Education and EDS recognized that the consolidation process had problems prior to a 3-month shutdown during which new applications were not accepted; (14) officials from both Education and EDS said that they have taken new steps to improve FDLP consolidation processing; (15) some of the changes were made during the shutdown, others went into effect as GAO was conducting its study, when EDS again began accepting new applications, and others are still being implemented; (16) EDS has devoted more resources and made system changes to improve data quality throughout the process, it has started a pilot program for electronic loan data exchange with lenders, and it has begun a review of the first 1,000 post startup applications with the goal of detecting remaining problems; and (17) lenders' representatives GAO talked with had mixed opinions about the effectiveness of these changes and said it was too early to evaluate them.

I had a roommate that would steal money from me when I was not home. When I confronted him, he sent me an email saying: I don't care if you call me a theft. In the real sense of the word, he is, but he meant a "thief." For crying out loud!! He is supposed to be a college graduate and he writes like that, that is the real theft. So according to him, a theft is a person who steals money from somebody else.
I don't care if you call me a theft, or My spouse is a dirty old theft, when I was a kid, i became a theft. haha!! very wrong.

Since the cameras have been sold, here's a revised ad for the housing:
Light & Motion Bluefin Pro with the OLED monitor back for Canon HF-G10, XA10 or HFS30 videocameras. Original cost was $3799.
It comes with the flat port (standard) and the Fathom 90 degree wide angle port, a $1799US option.
There's also a Stix float. Also includes two kinds of attachment bases for lighting (total four) , two for the one-inch ball, the other two for Locline arms. An XIT404 tripod base is also included (no legs).

The setup has been well used; the L&M coating has begun to depart. The housing had an overhaul last October at L&M; both handles were rebuilt at L&M in July 2014, six dives ago. I'd describe it as discolored appearing but 100% usable.
The Pelican case is included.
Since it was about $6000 total originally, I'd like $2250US or near offer.
