Where to buy: Princess Beatrice and Eugenie's Jubilee Shoes
Their taste in hats may not be a hit with everybody, but no-one can deny that the shoes worn by Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice were both stylish and cool: testament to their love for pieces that one has to admit are just a little bit too hot for Royalty. And we have to take our hats off to them for that...
Better still, the footwear was bought on the British high street, proving that it's not just Kate Middleton who's 'keeping it real' with Tulisa-style dresses and Reiss shoes. The camel-coloured spiked-heel courts are from Kurt Geiger and are available to buy for £195 here. We're not sure we'd want to wear such precariously spiky heels on a boat, so bravery points all round for the York sisters!
We're also big fans of the same style in a hot coral pink, which presumably would have been a little too much for the floral boat. Or, at least, would have been disallowed for clashing with Kate's red Alexander McQueen frock.

Nipsey Hussle - Smoking With My Stylist
Artist: Nipsey Hussle
Producer: Katapullt
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 8 votes )
Are you following Nipsey Hussle on Twitter? Well, you should be; not only will you be better-informed on the Los Angeles spitter's doings, but you'll be doing your part to accelerate the release of new music. Yesterday, Hussle unleashed a loosie entitled Smoking With My Stylist and stated that, for every 2,000 followers he racks up henceforth, he'll liberate another fresh record. And if this cut is any indication of what's in store, fans have a lot to look forward to. Here, Katapullt's hazy synth-sample boardwork backs the Slauson Boy as he reflects on racial prejudice, the grind, and the ever-present scourge of haterdom. Nipsey Hussle doesn't have any larger projects on the horizon but, as always, we'll keep you in the loop. In the meantime, those craving more from the artist can peep Rockie Fresh's Life Long video, featured in the Booth earlier this month.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. - Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants graduate from American high schools every year. Now, there's a new push to let them become U.S. Citizens with just a few stipulations.
Does the Dream Act offer a chance at a better life, or a reward for illegal behavior?
"It's a huge, huge process that they go through," immigration lawyer Karen Caco says of the path to become a citizen. She processes a number of applicants every year through www.easyusimmigration.com.
Caco has a stack of nearly 400 documents on her desk, all for just one Visa. That's only the first step of years of work and thousands of dollars in order to be able to call the United States your legal home. That's why some choose to come illegally to the country, and bring their children too.
If passed the Dream Act could give those illegal children citizenship, but under three conditions. They must graduate from a high school in the U.S., they live here five years, and they must attend college or join the military.
Some say the bill cheats the system.
"I disagree with these people who come over here and are in the country for a number of years and are granted citizenship," Canadian Colin Nicholson says.
Nicholson is currently getting his Green Card, but says becoming a U.S. Citizen takes a lot of time and money, and he doesn't think the process should be easier for a select few.
Others say the Dream Act would make for a better country, with more opportunities for college and success.
"There will be a faster process for them even though they came in without proper papers, there will be a path to citizenship for them. Now, it doesn't mean they can cut the line, it just means they're going to make it easier because at the end of the day these kids didn't have a choice," Caco explains.
According to the bill's website, there is currently a lot of support behind it, but it's still in the beginning stages.

moreLuxury Fashion and Culture focuses on the study of how humans use high quality, highly pleasurable, and frequently rare products, services, and experiences to distinguish to themselves and others who they are as well as well as whom they are not both within and across cultures. Luxury fashion enables the individual to transform herselfto play a part in scenes exuding refinement, acceptance, high status, and good taste and risk ridicule by playing the part badly. The chapters provide new theory, recipes of methods, and findings on how culture helps humans manage and respond to luxury fashion enactments. Rather than focusing on traditional cultural transformations, it focuses on personal expressions of self and archetypal role-playing and fulfilment through the power of luxury fashion.This volume: applies the perspectives of Veblen, Goffman, McCracken, Thompson, and Belk to provide a theoretical foundation to explain why and how humans buy and enact luxury fashion products, services, and experiences. includes confirmatory personal introspections of explanations of luxury fashion enactments with self-photographs and self-interpretations of the enactments to explain how individuals enact luxury fashion and respond to alternative fashion-marketing designs. is unique in conjoining sociology, psychology, marketing, and economics to advance fashion marketing theory and research. less

This engaging Danish costume drama was nominated for a Golden Globe and
Oscar for Best Foreign Language film. It is the true story of a man who
unexpectedly wins the heart of his queen and starts a revolution. A ROYAL
AFFAIR is the gripping tale of brave idealists who risk everything in their

"A Royal Affair is historical drama of the highest order - teeming with big
ideas, and anchored by the nicely nuanced performances."

Language: English
Rating: PG13
This is Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut and a light and lively confection
it is. The irrepressible Maggie Smith (famed for her latest role in Downton
Abbey as the Dowager Countess) knocks it out of the park in this moving and
boisterous comedy. An opera company filled with retired performers reunite
once a year to stage a fundraiser for their theater and must deal with big
egos and romances from the past.
"Quartet shows us how art illuminates our lives, and shows us artists and
performers who can still, after all these years, do some illuminating."

This is one of the most honored films of the year, having won the top prize
at the Cannes Film Festival and three Oscar nominations including Best
Actress, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Picture. An octogenarian
couple find their love put to the ultimate test when one of them suffers a
stroke, and the other must assume the role of the caretaker in this
compassionate yet unsentimental drama from director Michael Haneke.
"Transfixing and extraordinarily touching, perhaps the most hauntingly
honest movie about old age ever made."

Directed By: Yaron Zilberman
Run Time: 105 min
Language: English
Rating: R
The all-star cast of Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken and
Catherine Keener makes this film a complete delight. A LATE QUARTET pays
homage to the professional music and cultural world of New York City. When
the beloved cellist of a world-renowned string quartet can no longer perform
to demanding standards, the group's future suddenly hangs in the balance.
Suppressed emotions and uncontrollable passions threaten to derail years of
friendship and collaboration. As they are about to play their 25th
anniversary concert, quite possibly their last, only their intimate bond and
the power of music can preserve their legacy.
'"A Late Quartet' provides distinct and uncommon satisfactions."

Bill Murray proves himself to be a character actor of unexpected depth and
charm in his remarkable portrayal of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The always
reliable Laura Linney portrays a distant cousin, working as a personal
assistant, who has an affair with the president. Based on historical
records, the story unfolds in June 1939, when the president hosts the King
and Queen of England at the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park in upstate New York.
International affairs, the running of a presidential estate, and summer
night dalliances all combine to make for wonderful, humorous and moving

This Oscar-nominated documentary focuses on Sixto Diaz Rodriguez, who had
the kind of musical career that every aspiring rock star fears — praised by
critics but overlooked by the public. He released two albums before
unceremoniously disappearing from the spotlight. But while sales of
Rodriguez's debut CD fell flat in the U.S., overseas fans couldn't get
enough. When his second album became a hit in South Africa, a pair of
devoted fans took it upon themselves to uncover the facts surrounding the
mysterious musician, and got the surprise of a lifetime.

In the four decades since the War on Drugs commenced, over 45 million
addicts have been arrested - and for each one jailed, another family is
destroyed. Meanwhile, the prisons in America are growing overcrowded with
non-violent criminals, and illegal drugs are still being sold in
schoolyards. By examining just where it all went wrong, Jarecki reveals that
a solution is possible if we can just find it in ourselves to be
compassionate, and see past the decades of paranoia and propaganda.
"..A compelling, thought-provoking look at a highly relevant and
controversial topic."

Naomi Watts earned an Oscar nod for her portrayal of a mother facing
extraordinary circumstances. A British family on Christmas holiday at a
beach resort in Thailand is torn apart when a deadly tsunami devastates the
area. The film follows the seriously wounded Maria and her eldest son Lucas
as they struggle to safety, not knowing whether Maria's husband and their
two younger sons are dead or alive.

year to tell the story of a culture virtually untouched by modernity.

suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation, he assigns an
expert in Japanese culture - and psychological warfare - General Bonner
Fellers (Fox), to covertly investigate the looming question hanging over the
country: should the Japanese Emperor, worshiped by his people but accused of
war crimes, be punished or saved?

Winner of the Best Director prize at last year's Berlin Film Festival, the
latest film from Christian Petzold (Yella, Jerichow) is a simmering,
impeccably crafted Cold War thriller. A Berlin doctor has been banished to a
rural East German hospital as punishment for applying for an exit visa. As
her lover from the West carefully plots her escape, Barbara finds herself
falling for a colleague who may be a spy. A film of glancing moments and
dangerous secrets, BARBARA paints a haunting picture of a woman being slowly
crushed between the irreconcilable needs of desire and survival.
"It's one terrific film, as smart, thoughtful and emotionally involving
as just about anything that's out there."

From acclaimed director Matteo Garrone, REALITY is a darkly comic look at
Luciano, a charming and affable working man whose unexpected and sudden
obsession with being a contestant on the reality show "Big Brother" leads
him down a rabbit hole of skewed perceptions and fanciful delusions. So
overcome by his dream of being on reality TV, Luciano's own reality begins
to spiral out of control, making this film an indelible portrait of a
sympathetic comic everyman.

Traveling with a team of young adventurers across the brutal Arctic,
acclaimed National Geographic photographer James Balog risks his career and
his well-being in pursuit of the biggest story facing humanity. As the
climate change debate polarizes America, and the intensity of natural
disasters ramps up globally, 'Chasing Ice' depicts a heroic photojournalist
on a mission to deliver hope to a fragile planet. Through his Extreme Ice
Survey, Balog, once a skeptic, discovers undeniable evidence of our changing
planet. The film employs revolutionary time-lapse cameras to capture a
multi-year record of the world's glaciers. Hauntingly beautiful videos
compress years into seconds and show ancient mountains of ice in motion as
they disappear at a breathtaking rate.

Because people seem to love packing lists (and since I love lists in general), I'm going to start sharing some of my travel packing lists with you here.
Here's a look at what currently travels with me:
My backpack
Kelty Redwing 50 (blue) — This small, compact backpack has traveled around Europe with me for 3 months, and Asia for nearly 2. I love how small it is (it keeps me from over-packing), and love that it unzips fully to be front-loading. There are also some extra side and front pockets that make organizing easy.
Packing must-haves
Eagle Creek packing cubes — Like to be organized? Then you HAVE to start using packing cubes. They come in multiple sizes, and usually fit together, puzzle-like, in any size bag. I use anywhere from 3-5 when I pack: one for shirts, one for shorts, one for skirts, etc.
Hoboroll — I love my packing cubes, but sometimes you need something with even more compartments for things like socks and underwear. I use a Hoboroll by Gobi Gear for all these miscellaneous items. It's divided up into 6 compartments and has compression straps so that you can shrink it down.
Day packs
Pacsafe Slingsafe — This little backpack really packs a punch. With anti-theft features like slash-proof material and secure zippers, this bag is perfect to carry around just about any city. It even fits my 11-inch Macbook Air.
OE Acadia Backpack — The Acadia backpack from Overland Equipment is my new go-to carry-on backpack. It has a separate laptop sleeve for easy access at the airport, and plenty of other small pockets. I also like that it's quite slim — meaning there's no problem fitting it under the seat in front of you on a plane.
Donner bag — Also by Overland Equipment, my new favorite travel purse is the Donner bag. It's big enough for everything I would want to take with me for a day (my camera, wallet, Kindle, a scarf or sweater, etc.), and I also love the side pockets for water bottles or an umbrella.
For sleeping/showering
Cocoon silk sleep sheet — We've all experienced questionable sleeping situations on the road. A silk sleep sheet is the answer — it acts like a lightweight sleeping bag, meaning you don't have to actually touch those sketchy sheets or mattresses. These also take up virtually NO space in your bag.
Micro fiber towel — Traveling with a quick-dry towel is a must for most travelers. I never go on long trips without mine. Even if I'm staying in a hotel where towels are provided, having a micro fiber towel can be great for the beach.
Keen Whisper sandals — Good for hiking or just walking around in a city, these lightweight Keens are my go-to if I don't want to take sneakers but still want to have a shoe that will keep my toes protected.
Teva Tirra sandals — While not the cutest sandals out there, my Tirras are my most comfortable travel sandal. They're not super clunky, and don't look terrible when you're wearing them out and about.
Crocs Adrina Flat — Okay, so I hate most Crocs shoes. I think they look ugly and obnoxious. But I was convinced to try a pair with the promise of supreme comfort. I found the Adrina Flats which don't actually look like Crocs at all (and don't have the name branded on them anywhere you can see it), and they ARE, in fact, incredibly comfy.
For keeping charged up
Belkin SurgePlus Travel Charger — With 3 regular (US) outlets and 2 USB outlets, I never travel with out this surge protector. (It also comes in super handy when I find myself in a hotel room or hostel with too few wall outlets.)
What's In My Backpack: Iceland
I visited Iceland for less than a week in March, 2012. Here's what I took with me (and yes, I fit a winter coat AND boots into my backpack!).
What to Pack for 2 Months in Europe
I headed to Europe for 8 weeks in summer 2012, hitting up Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the UK — meaning lots of different types of weather!
Packing for Summer and Winter in One Trip
It's bound to happen eventually if you travel often — the dreaded multi-season trip, where you have to pack for more than one climate in just one bag. Here's how I fared packing for a trip to both Scotland (in winter) and tropical Belize in one go!
Packing for Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia seems like it would be easy to pack for: hot temperatures and plenty of beaches. But don't forget that many countries in this part of the world are slightly more conservative. Check out what I packed for 6 weeks in Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand.
Travel Gear I Love
From the handbag I use, to how I keep my Macbook protected, to my new favorite iPhone case/charger, check this post out to discover what sort of gear I travel with beyond just my backpack.
Travel Photo Gear I Love
People often ask me what kind of camera(s) I use to capture photos and video footage on the road. Check out this post to find out what I'm currently using!

- Rep. Thornberry should rethink his support of arming Syrian rebels because it is a very bad idea to begin with
Social networking sites and the military
By design such postings are meant to be "public". They also reveal a lot about you and what you do, even if you don't realize it.
It's also possible using social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace to identify you as a member of the U.S. Armed Forces and then map all your social networking connections here in the United States. This could make you more susceptible to various forms of blackmail for example.
Something very similiar to this is happening right now to police officers, judges and prosecutors serving along the border region with Mexico by drug trafficking organizations using the Internet for the purposes of extortion and making threats.
In one case a federal judge and prosecutor was sent threatening emails containing the names and contact information of close friends, associates and relatives. Investigators determined the information was probably accessed on-line and taken directly from various social networking sites, and public information sources. Then used in such a way to threaten members of the Judiciary.
It certainly represents a possible future trend in terrorism that we need to watch closely.
How is any of this possible you ask?
It begins with the type of information people routinely post or blog about themselves on-line. Information which could be used by others with an agenda to basically extort and threaten people.
It's my belief that the bad guys may be using profile "aggregater" websites like "Spokeo" to scoop up detailed information on people, using only a person's email address.
While I can appreciate the need for service members to stay in touch with friends and family members the potential for a compromise of information pertaining to ongoing military operations is very high. Especially given the millions of men and women now serving in the U.S. Military abroad who post information about themselves on-line everyday.
Obviously you never want to discuss information relating to your military occupational specialty (or MOS). You also never want to discuss your name, rank, unit, present duty station or details relating to your mission responsibilities, because it could compromise security, put lives at unnecessary risk, and in a worst case scenario get people killed on the battlefield.
In WW2 the phrase that applied was "Loose lips sink ships", and was part of a very successful information awareness campaign aimed at educating people about the risk of wartime espionage. Today, the same principle applies but is augmented by the use of the Internet and social networking sites like Facebook for example.
Words to the wise – be extra careful using social networking sites, and remember it's not potential employers and jilted ex-lovers reading your Facebook page. It's a variety of people, including foreign intelligence agencies in some cases seeking out people with information relating to national security or defense related concerns.
Remember to watch what post on-line, and as a general rule perhaps assume that all your electronic forms of communications are being monitored.

Wedding triptych – mixed media art
November 11th, 2014
I have not posted for a while, as I was extremely busy with work right up to the day I went to Europe (yay) for nearly a month. There was sightseeing involved of course, but the main purpose was to attend my brother's wedding. He has lived in London for the past 10 years, and got married to his lovely French partner there in October.
Although they wanted money for their 'dream honeymoon' experiences, I decided I wanted to do something a little more personal than that. So, using the paperblocking technique that I had previously used on Curiosities, I decided to make a triptych using the gorgeous 'Curtain Call' papers from Graphic 45. Techniques: paper blocking, stencils, stamping, embossing, sponging ink, gold leaf.
So without further ado…
(note: for reasons I don't understand, these pictures are very small. I will investigate and see if there are larger ones)
Mixed media – Paper Blocking
August 28th, 2014
I created this for the August 2014 Craft stamper 'Take it, make it', it is the first time I have entered anything like this and I enjoyed the opportunity to play around and challenge myself. NOTE: sadly I missed out uploading this by the cut off (I blame the International Date Line), but I still had a lot of fun making it.
I have created Curiosities based on the following articles:
- the Paper Bocking style as shown in the 'Pretty in Pink' article by Jean Hardy, August 2014, p10; and
- making my own embellishments from silicon moulds, as shown in 'Hearts and Flowers' article by Trish Latimer, January 2014, p30.
I really loved the concept of paper blocking, and it meant I dared to use those papers I love so much I keep 'saving' them for something special. Now I have used them but still get to keep them. However instead of using a pencil to outline the papers, I used my sponging block to swipe aged mahogony ink around each piece to give definition. It seemed to really pick up the creams and burgundies in the papers. The Gold leave Rub n Buff is also randomly on the canvas, and also on the embelishments I made using paperclay. I added a little more texture around the edges with my Ageing Block from Lucy's Stamps (sadly no longer in business)
- Graphic 45: Old Curiosity shop papers from (discontinued)
- Lucy's stamps: Ageing block (discontinued but awesome)
- canvas board
- Distress Paint: Antiqued Bronze
- Distress Stain: Aged Mahogny
- Distress Ink: Aged Mahogany
- Stamp in style: Stylish Sponging Block
- Krafty Lady Silicon moulds: AM111 – Maysie's key, AM161 – Medieval Keyhole
- Delight paperclay (white)
- Rub n buff: gold leaf
- japanese paper wire (black with gold thread)
- small glass bottle
Note: First time commenters need to have the comment approved. Free posting after that.
Breakout 5: Self-Defence For Women: How To Write a Fight Scene – RWAus14

There is a third factor that is rarely mentioned: freeze
Breakout 4: The Dark Side: Psychology, psychopathy and stalking – RWAus14
August 26th, 2014
I have to admit that I had a great time at the dinner on Saturday night, and went to a room party afterwards. I decided to sleep in a bit on Sunday morning so I missed the first session of the day (which was noted as TBA in my schedule anyway), and got there in time for my first breakout session.
The Dark Side: Psychology, psychopathy and stalking
- Chair and Profess of Policing and Criminal Justice, University of Western Sydney
- Professor of Criminal Justice and Criminology, University of Massachusetts, MA
- Expert witness in the UK
This was an excellent, informative session, and provided a lot of information and ideas for those writing crime, suspense, romantic suspense, mystery, thriller or other sub-gentres in the crime category. Over all I would say it was one of the best all weekend, aside from the Friday workshop.
HOWEVER – and I don't want to direct this at anyone specific (and I probably wouldn't know their names anyway) – it also suffered from one of my pet hates.
Professor Roberts took questions from the floor from the start. People were asking specific questions that presumably related to what their own story. He jumped to the end of his presentation and despite saying he would go back, he didn't really. The whole presentation got derailed by those who only wanted to discuss psychopathy because it related to their own writing. A lot of the information in his slides wasn't even shown to us let alone discussed (I think a lot of it was on the psychology, but I'm not sure).
While I had some questions myself, I refrained from asking them at the time. He provided us with his email address and said he was happy to answer questions we have that way. I hope that in the future people will be less selfish about hogging the presenter's time, because I for one was extremely frustrated we missed out on so much content.
And I would suggest that in future, all questions other than clarifications be kept to the end.
And now, on to the presentation we did get:
What do forensics psychologists do?
- focus on human behaviour
- assessment
- human performance
- explanation of motivation
- clinical – psychological problems
- forensic – specific application to crime and offending
Saturday final session: AMG & Wrap up – RWAus14
August 25th, 2014
Presentation of the First Sale ribbons
There were quite a few this year – I think 25 or so standing at the front, and of course others who were not present. I didn't record names, I am sure the list will be available in Hearts Talk or on the website. Congratulations to all
just the highlights, the minutes will be available to RWA members.
Change in membership structure – will no longer be divided by published / unpublished. There are now three categories:
- Aspiring (unpublished)

There are going to be programs tailored for each category, and members are to self-select their status in their website profile.

Cat birthday card
August 24th, 2014
My brother's birthday was in July, and he is a big fan of cats (like all my family). I have a tin of Cavallini & Co vintage cat poster stickers, and I found one that actually has July on it – a Harper's cover from what I can tell.
Because I am trying to use up my paper pads and scraps, so I pulled out the green and blue colours from the sticker, and layered in onto a piece of white cardstock. This was edged in blue ink, then placed on a piece of blue scrap patterned paper also edged in ink.
I then too piece of blue cardstock the same side as the A6 card, and embossed it with my new Coutour Creations small dots embossing folder. The blue card was distressed with my distressing tool, and then blue ink swiped around the edges. All layered onto the A6 white card, and three small pearls added to the top right side. Inside 'Happy Birthday' was stamped in blue.
I was happy with it, recipient was happy with it, all is good.
Breakout 3: Revision & Self-Editing: James Scott Bell – RWAuS14
August 24th, 2014
Revision and Self-Editing for Publication (2nd edition) - James Scott Bell
No manuscript is ever submitted exactly the same as it will be published – revisions will be required. Just accept that.
Have a strategic approach to revision to make it consistent and easier.
Robert Heinlein's 2 rules for writing
1. You must write
2. You must finish what you write
You will learn the most about writing a novel by making yourself complete one – and learning how to fix things
JSB's corollary:
3. You must learn your craft as you write
eg Read books on writing and craft, go to conferences, learn technique
JSB rule:
don't bore the reader
Breakout 2: The Inside Story: Valerie Parv – RWAus14
August 16th, 2014
Australian auther Valerie Parv is an international best seller, who has sold more than 29 million books. She writes primarily for Harlequin / Mills & Boone, however she has also written a few books on the art and craft of writing. I have the revised 2004 edition of The Art of Writing Romance, and also Heart and Craft, which is a collaboration by some of Australia and New Zealand's top romance authors. I have found them both interesting and informative books – the way some of them describe their personal writing process is hilarious.
Valerie Parv also has an annual writing award that was established in her name in 1999. Contestants have to submit the first 10,000 words of a novel, and a 1,000 word synopsis of a romance or romantic elements novel. The winner is mentored by Valerie for a year, and nearly all the winner have gone on to have top selling books. She is incredibly generous with her expertise and her time, and often runs workshops at the RWA annual conference. This was her workshop for the RWA 2014 conference.
How to Draw Your Readers into Your Fictional World
When you are on facebook, you have a feed of comments and images. You think that everyone you know sees the same thing, but in fact they have a completely different experience. Likewise, when you write, you think readers are going to experience the story exactly the way you meant it. But they will take different elements away from it.
How can we get our readers to see our world exactly the way we intended. It doesn't have to be identical, because as long as they are reading they are part of the experience. However there are techniques to allow readers to get as close as possible to the way we envisaged our story. Five techniques are detailed below:

Hi: 7° Lo:1°
By Laura Maltby Friday 23 November 2012 Updated: 28/11 08:34
NANDO'S is set to open a restaurant in Leamington next summer, we can exclusively reveal.
After a job vacancy advertising an assistant manager's role at a new site in Leamington appeared online, we contacted the chain – famous for its peri-peri chicken – who confirmed they will be opening premises in the town midway through next year.
The prospective site is currently listed on the Nando's website as being in the Campion Hills area of the town but it is expected the chain will open in a North Leamington location.
Founded in 1987, Nando's operates in thirty countries on five continents and specialises in chicken dishes with either lemon and herb, medium, hot, extra hot or extra extra hot peri-peri marinades.
In 1992 the chain expanded into the UK opening its first restaurant in Ealing, London and there are currently more than 250 other Nando's nationwide.
A Nando's spokesperson confirmed to the Observer: "It's true, we're actively pursuing a site in Leamington Spa, and we hope to open a restaurant there next summer!"
The chain is hugely popular across the country. (s)

The Edwardian Scientist Bride {Styled Shoot} – London Wedding Photographer
Some time ago, I was invited by Gwenda Jeffs (with whom I've done an absolute ton of shoots), to join a group she was setting up, called "Coocouture: The Unconventional Wedding Collective". Everyone involved shares a love for the more unconventional side of the wedding industry, and the aim is to create epic inspirational shoots based on alternative genres…and boy, are we having fun doing just that! I'm thrilled to be the photographer for this group – the gorgeous, way-out stuff the others come up with is genius!
Our very first shoot was themed "The Edwardian Steampunk Scientist Bride", and these might be some of my favourite photos I have ever taken! Now that it's been featured on Bespoke Bride, I can share it with you here.
Skip to the end to see all the fabulous suppliers involved! (Except, please don't actually skip :-))
Oh, and there's also a short film by the wonderful Skinny Boy Weddings, which shows some great behind the scenes stuff, too – be sure to watch it!

EBENSBURG, Pa.- An inmate at a Pennsylvania prison was fatally shot by guards during a hostage-taking attempt, state police said Saturday.Torone Dixon, 25, was shot Friday night by the Cambria County prison's emergency response team when he tried to use a homemade knife on a guard he had taken hostage, prison officials said. Dixon was pronounced dead later at a hospital.The prison was locked down after Dixon assaulted guard Ross Morelli, 23, and took him hostage, according to corrections officials. The prison's emergency response team entered the housing unit about two hours after the incident began. Authorities said they shot Dixon when they could not subdue him with non-lethal force.Another inmate was also injured, but officials did not say how.Dixon was scheduled to be tried in January on homicide charges stemming from an April 27 slaying, officials said.


text: Immigration Reform Proponent Sen. Robert Menedez Drove Pigford Style Hispanic Farmer Settlement Print article Send a Tip by Lee Stranahan 26 Apr 2013 post a comment A blockbuster front page New York Times story reveals that 'Gang of Eight' member Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) was a driving forced behind the designed-for-fraud settlement that the Obama administration made to compensate Latino and Hispanic "attempted-to-farmers." After the Pigford fraud scheme was successful at giving away billions in taxpayer dollars to people who claimed to have "attempted to farm," lawyers turned to other special interest groups for their own versions of the Pigford scam. Soon, there were attempts to file suit on behalf on Native Americans, women and Hispanic and Latino farmers. Despite the hoopla, the lawyers had trouble finding people to bring suit. Fewer than one hundred Hispanic/Latino farmers actually joined the suit--and then they faced an uphill battle as the judge in the case ruled that they were not a "class" under the law. Then, as theTimes details, the Obama administration created its own legally questionable settlement that bypassed Congress and authorized billions of dollars. Driving that move was Sen. Menendez. The Times says: ...members of the Congressional Hispanic caucus and a group of eight Democratic senators, led by Mr. Menendez, were lobbying the White House to move in the opposite direction. They grew increasingly agitated as the plaintiffs' cases appeared to falter. In a letter to Mr. Obama in June 2009, the senators noted that black farmers stood to receive $2.25 billion in compensation, but that Hispanic farmers, who alleged the same kind of discrimination, had gotten nothing. Should that continue, Mr. Menendez wrote that September, "Hispanic farmers and ranchers, and their supporters, will be reaching out to community and industry leaders outside of the Beltway in order to bring wider attention to this problem." Senator Menedez appears to be saying that if his particular special interest group doesn't get what they perceive as their share of the farmer settlement pie, they will make a lot of noise.

Governor Kaine has declared a State of Emergency in response to the shootings at Virginia Tech, directing all state agencies to take any necessary actions to aid in the response and recovery following Monday's shooting.
The emergency declaration allows the Governor to immediately deploy state personnel, equipment and other resources, and to coordinate state and local response in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy.
The Virginia State Police are on the scene working with local law enforcement to investigate the shootings. The Department of Health has sent the chief medical examiner along with other personnel to help assist with the fatalities.
The governor has also ordered the lowering of the Virginia State flag in honor of those who were killed or injured at the shooting.

Tuesday Tune: "He's Spider-Man" by The Ray Wall Band

This animated music video is part musical trubute, part fan video, and all coolness.
Because every now and then we need to be reminded that films are rarely perfect…
I wasn't expecting much from the "too-soon" remake of The Amazing Spider-Man. That might explina why I thought he film was decent. It might also play into the opinion that this new trailer for the sequel looks way cool.
Courtesy of Michael May's (awesome) Adventureblog, I am reminded of how much comics were part of my early reading experiences. Not only did I have the super-size version of the Superman vs. Muhammad Ali boxing match, but I also had a read-a-long recording of Amazing Spider-Man #124, which featured J. Jonah Jameson's astronaut son, John, and the creature he became: the Man-Wolf!
Now, through the magic of the Internets, I can re-live this magic moment from my childhood. And you can, too! Go, go, gadget YouTube!

On the Kirkus Reviews blog today, I list my Top 5 Graphic Novel picks starring the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!
From the post:
Sergei Kravinoff burst onto the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man in 1964. Since then, he has hunted Spidey relentlessly in the hopes of proving to everyone he is the greatest hunter in the world. Collecting Web of Spider-Man #31-32, Amazing Spider-Man #293-294, and Spectacular Spider-Man #131-132, Kraven's Last Hunt, written by J. M. DeMatteis and illustrated by Mike Zeck, brought Kraven and Spider-Man together for their final confrontation.
Driven mad by his inability to defeat Spider-Man, Kraven the Hunter launches his ultimate end-game and manages to defeat the web-head. He shoots him, and buries him. To further prove that he is the greatest hunter in the world, Kraven takes on Spider-Man's mask and hunts his latest enemy, Vermin, and defeats him in a brutal attack. Two weeks later, Spidey wakes up (he was drugged, not killed) and has to dig his way out of his own grave. Kraven is no longer interested in him. Vermin, however, is out for revenge following the beat-down Kraven gave him.

During the 1960s, Marvel Comics snuck up on DC Comics and usurped the industry's number-one spot. DC's editorial director, Carmine Infantino, started the 1970s with both guns blazing, vowing to regain DC's market share. The biggest bullet in Infantino's holster was the illustrious Jack Kirby, the veteran artist who co-created most of Marvel's major superheroes, including Captain America, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, and the X-Men.

This footage of a mysterious object in the sky, which aired on 'Today,' probably won't change anyone's opinion of UFOs. But it's bound to at least spark some debate.

We've all seen some pretty strange things in department stores or in the mall. But most of the time when someone tries tom-foolery in a store, security escorts them out.
Mark Malkoff noticed that Apple Stores let people get away with just things no other store would even think of allowing. He decided to put it to the test and see just how far he could push the envelope.
In Pine Prairie, Louisiana, a thief attempted to rob an ATM on Monday by breaking it open with a piece of heavy construction equipment, 'The Early Show' reports — and the incident was caught on the store's security camera.

Asking the woman he loves to marry him may be one of the scariest things a man will do in his lifetime. Not only is there a lot of pressure on a guy to make that magic moment a memorable one but the fear of rejection must be nerve-racking.
Creativity is key in securing a 'yes' from that special someone.
