As we drive through rural villages, I catch tantalizing glimpses of life on the street through a slit in the curtains—a barber tending his customer, roti on the griddle in a cook stall, a stray dog dodging a rickshaw bike loaded with bundles. We arrive at the weathered fort's main gate, big enough for elephants to enter. (They once did.) Inside the main courtyard, pink and butter-yellow plastered brick walls are punctuated by scalloped windows and wooden balconies. At the entrance to the women's quarters, Waseem shuts off the engine as attendants draw a folding qanaat (protective shield) around the car. Khan's maid Shameem signals that we can enter a hallway unobserved. Less grand than the public rooms where Sulaiman Khan greets guests, the women's side of the house has its own central courtyard, flanked by whitewashed columns and inner gardens.
In a shaded chamber with heavy green doors left open to catch any slight breeze, the Qilasaaz ladies are seated on a white canvas–covered floor, bent over their stitching. Like the women of Ndonyo Wasin, they also wear vibrant colors: shell pink, parrot green, lavender. Their hair is drawn back in thick braids. Shoes are piled at the entrance. Noise from a political rally in the streets scarcely penetrates, although somewhere bells chime the passing hours distinctly. Part of Khan's mission is to preserve a Lucknowi embroidery technique called chikan. Plopping down against a bolster, I take a closer look at their threadwork. As someone who accidentally sewed a Girl Scout sampler to her uniform, I am envious of the adroit, miniature patterns. Circles, whorls, raised knots, running stitches, piercings, shadow fish, curled flowers, and silver leaves grace the exquisite clothing. Even the seams are hand-stitched. Qilasaaz uses tissue-thin khadi (homespun cotton), silk, chiffon, and broadcloth made from pulped bark, which Khan sources from hand-weavers and dyers who know she is interested in sustaining their crafts as well. A ruby red crepe de chine jacket with gold edging hangs on a dressmaker's dummy. Samana and Bibi unfurl an intricately embroidered sari. They teach me the Urdu words for each type of stitch: phanda (raised knots), jaali (pierced), and hath-kati (drawn-thread work). Samana, who has a solemn face and graying hair, supervises Qilasaaz when Khan is away. She makes notes on a new sleeve style for some beach tunics I want sewn from brightly striped cottons.
The workshop breaks for lunch in a side veranda as the soaring heat whitens the sky. Seated on a raised platform, the women unpack steel tiffin boxes of curry, chapati, and rice. Gesturing to the quarters, Khan tells me, "This space is bigger than their houses. Qilasaaz gives them regular work, and some sense of independence." Khan emphasizes that all proceeds go directly to the younger members. "They can spend their wages however they wish, buy gold or pay school fees, but I also encourage saving," she adds. One of the unintended consequences is that the younger women seem to be having fewer children as their families recognize the earning potential of their skills.
Khan's mother, Rama Mehta, was a noted diplomat and author of Inside the Haveli, a fictionalized account set within the women's quarters of an aristocratic Hindu household. The novel emphasizes community and respect for elders rather than what Westerners would perceive as oppression. (A lecture series on women's issues at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study was named for Mehta by her friends John Kenneth and Catherine Galbraith.) While we eat chickpea pakoras, Khan expresses nostalgia for an era when the Mahmudabad qila swarmed with aunts, grandmothers, in-laws, and cousins. "There's nobody left," she acknowledges, "to tell me off."
Toward the end of our day, when I show the Qilasaaz women photos from Ndonyo Wasin and Ol Malo, Khan translates their shock. Despite its Bollywood image, India remains a deeply conservative country when it comes to deportment and dress. Still, seeing photos of women from another continent in unusual dress clearly fascinates the sheltered group.
Unfinished tasks are folded away, and three women draw veils across their faces while others cover their heads. Suddenly, the riot of color is subdued, but not the women's sense of humor. While two tie imam zamin safety charms (rupee coins knotted inside a strip of fabric) to Khan's peach-colored sleeve, I admire the decorative henna swirls on the palms of several recent brides. Despite the language barrier, I discover common ties as they prepare to depart. Pantomiming, I want to know where else temporary I tattoos are drawn. Pointing to my upper arms, hands, and feet, the group nods yes each time. At the risk of being provocative, I point to my derriere. It takes a split second for the absurdity to sink in. Then they crack up, laughing uproariously.

Perfection…and, yes, size down.This dress fit me like a glove. I'm not alone, either - check out the rave reviews posted by women of all ages, shapes and sizes! I am 5'4", 125 pounds, 34D, very short-waisted and athletic but curvy. I am normally a size 6, but finally settled on the size 4 regular after trying the 6P. It hits about 2-3 inches below my knees, which is both flattering and a pleasant alternative to my other dresses, which are either mini or full-length. The smaller size just feels better and I think the closer fit helps the lace detail pop a bit more. The nude colored slip/lining also alleviated any modesty issues I had with respect to the "peekaboo" detailing throughout the bodice. It might look like you're showing a lot of skin, but it certainly doesn't feel like it once you're wearing it. It's classy and it's sexy, which is usually more than you can ask of a dress at this price point. Bonus: my flesh-colored bra is virtually undetectable, which is key given my cup size and the fact that I have 2 young kids.
Made by the gods on Mt OlympusI fell in love with this dress eons ago when it first showed up online and have been dreaming of it since. The lace detail, the nude underlay, the perfectly unique LBD-I was smitten! I received it as a gift for Christmas (!) and while I hate to disappoint anyone looking for a reason not to buy...it is even MORE beautiful in person. I have the black color and it is complete perfection. As for sizing, I was wary about getting it right in an online order as I usually always need to try multiple sizes to compare. To extreme fortune and surprise it was spot on! Very TTS. I have another dress from Anthro in a size 4 but it is strapless, and I have broad shoulders which usually forces me to size up in tops. I read some of the other reviews that the dress is not as impressive if it wasn't a perfect fit, so I took a chance and asked for a 4. It fit like a glove. A dressed-to-kill glove. BUY BUY BUY <3
GorgeousI wanted to love this dress so much. The detailing is exquisite as you would find in a much higher priced dress. The styling is very classic and glamorous. I tried it on in a 6 and found it to be too large. I also would have preferred it a little bit shorter. I would have ordered the 4 if I could get past the detail on the top that makes it look like a see-through top with a black bra on. Maybe if I was younger, but I could not get past this for someone my age. I look forward to trying on more beautiful dresses by this label.

Just Press the 'Submit Order' ButtonOk, so obviously it's hard not to notice the monthly car-payment-like price of this dress, however, that being said... It. Is. Worth. Every. Penny. At least when that repo-man comes, you will look GOOD. Seriously. I'm 30 years old, 5'6", 150 pounds and I purchased the size 8. Never before in my 30 years on this Earth have I owned an article of clothing that fit this well. It's absolutely perfect! The dress itself is clearly stunning. Perfect black dress. The buttons are darling and let you choose your level or riske. The skirt is the perfect sexy, modern length. I feel like I'm over-using the word 'perfect' here, but no other word in the English language would apply quite as well. If you're thinking about purchasing this dress, do it. Don't think about it any longer. It's inconceivable that you could possibly, in any way, regret that decision. Start babysitting. Own that lemonade stand. Whatever you do... Buy this dress. It's... Perfect.
Meant to BeI was on the hunt for a LBD for a funeral and ran over to my local Anthro store. I had seen this dress online but wasn't sure about the fit or cost. After perusing the racks I noticed one of these dresses and grabbed it to try on. The dress must have been returned because all tags were missing from the inside-I have no clue what size it is but it fit like a GLOVE. The only issue was the last button hole was sewn completely shut (button couldn't pass through). The clerk gave me 30% off for the defect and I left VERY happy with my purchase. A funeral is not the type of environment where you'd usually complement clothes-but I received many compliments on this dress. I'll be wearing again over and over, and hopefully for more joyous occasions!
Chic and flattering LBDI purchased this dress for a relative's wedding and ended up saving it for New Year's Eve. I purchased my correct size (size 8) and it fits like a glove ... a very, very sexy glove. This dress is heavy and thick which gives it a vintage feel and hides a little pouch you do not want seen. It is form fitting but remains classy and chic due to the longer length and long sleeves. It hit just below my knee and I am 5'3. This dress is flattering and worth the extra expense. The lace is fragile though - be careful wearing dangly jewelry or anything that can snag it. This is one I want to keep around for as long as possible! It is a stunner!

Perfect FitI went to the store and tried on the dress in blue-- I saw the mauve color, but thought it may wash me out in the later winter months and I had no idea that green was an option. I was hesitant to try on the dress as it looked long (I am 5'3" and I tried it on in XXSP), but when I tried it on it looked perfect. It was stylish, but not too stylish. I could not justify spending $148.00 on the dress, so after much consideration I left without buying it. However, this fit and style was so perfect I could not stop thinking about it. I went online and discovered the moss color and I was sold. I bought the dress immediately. The blue is gorgeous, but with my coloring I am hoping that the moss will look even better. I plan to wear this to work and to Christmas parties with suede booties. The dress is fitted in the chest and arms area-- it is revealing in that sense. Otherwise, the waist down is very forgiving.
timeless beautybought this dress in blue yesterday. I am slim and tried a large because it was the only blue on the rack. It fit perfectly. Will really enjoy this. Great background for lots of my art show jewelry. Classic look.
Great for work or playLoooove this dress. The blue is a beautiful color, and I'm loving the fabric and fit. I got a small, and it's a great length and tightness for my 5'7", 125lbs, 32C bod. Highly recommend!

Very nice, with a few strange featuresI like this dress quite a bit, but it is not exactly what I expected. The waist is about 2-3 inches above my natural waist, which adds some bulk, and makes for an odd silhouette at some angles. This is maybe just because I am taller than average, but it was still a bit disappointing (now that I am used to it, though, I like it a lot more -- just be aware of this difference!). That said, almost everything else about this dress is great. The fabric is soft and good quality, the print is interesting and unique. It is very comfortable -- if you are between sizes, I would recommend ordering the smaller size, it will not feel restricting. I first ordered a size 2, which draped very awkwardly, but the size 0 is perfect -- the contrast of the fitted top with the volume of the skirt is great. The dress is a bit higher on me than on the model - about 3 or 4 inches above the knee. I would absolutely recommend this dress, just be aware that the fit is a bit different than what is pictured.
Amazing!I ordered both this dress and the Larksong Dress hoping one of me would fit. Both dresses fit, but this dress own hands down. The cut is perfect - very feminine and with beautiful lines that flatters my hourglass figure. I too one size up than I normally take, but I find Tracy Reese a little on the small side, so I think this is more tts for this brand. The colors are amazingly vivid and the material is beautiful. I originally thought it was a knit, but I was delighted to discover than it's a very light woven material that drapes very nicely. I bought the regular instead of the petite - in retrospect, I think the petite would have worked better for my height but I was worried that the petite would be too high waisted for me. The regular is a little too long, so I will have to shorten this. I am debating about having the crinoline removed. Although it adds to the princess effect, I think it's a bit too much for my size...this is a beautiful dress that I can see wearing to many occasions....very happy!
Purrfect!I absolutely adore this dress! 99% of my closet is black so this was drastically different from my normal comfort zone. I tried it on in store on a whim and fell head over heels in love! The fit on this is flawless and it is made immaculately. Every time I've worn it I've gotten a ton of compliments! I'm 5'10" 160lbs and my normal size 10 fit better than any dress I've bought in the past year!!! It's great for dressing up or down and can be worn for almost any occasion! I absolutely give this 5 stars!

Took a risk and it didn't disappoint!Wanted something fun and whimsical for my wedding reception so I decided to ship this all the way to Singapore. I already knew that the dress is going to be way too long for me and am prepared to alter it. I'm petite at 5 ft 2" and usually wear US2 (UK6 on most british high street brands). Decided to order US0 regular instead since most US brands tend to run a bit larger for me. The dress came well packaged and the quality did not disappoint! The dress fits me like a glove with some space for movement. I am still able to wear a strapless bra under it which is needed cos the bust area ran a bit big for me. The skirt has a comfy polyester lining, followed by the tulle, then the outer layer with nice deep pockets! It falls really nicely and I can't wait to get it altered to my length to see it in its full glory. Only qualm I have is that there is minimum ventilation under the skirt, so I might need to do some flamenco dancing on my wedding night to air my legs a little. :)
Attention getter!I ordered this gown to wear to a Mardi Gras ball in Biloxi last weekend. I received many compliments on my dress from people I'd never met before. Very comfortable, very elegant, unique, and eye catching. Very happy with this purchase.
Eat your heart out Marie Antoinette.Love at first site does exist! I saw this dress online and knew instantly it had to be mine! As soon as I finished zipping up this dress I already knew it was going home with me that night! I'm usually a size 4-6 but I ended up purchasing a size 2 in this dress. I have a small waist and am more curvy on the bottom- so a maxi dress is ideal for my body type. This dress is quite long, but, with heels it's the perfect length. I was very impressed with the luxurious fabric and the pink bow is just as magnificent in real life! The sexy cut-out in the back of the dress made me feel very sophisticated and elegant. I hosted my twin sister's Bachelorette party and the theme was "Let Them Eat Cake" inspired by the city of love, Paris. I have visited Paris various times and this gown would have made Marie Antoinette green with envy! I truly am madly in love with this dress and I will treasure it's classic Parisian elegance for yeas to come.

Like wearing pj'sI actually sought this dress out after reading some of the reviews online. After reading that it ran large I wanted to try it on in store. The first store I went to had only 1 dress left in the whole store and it was a medium but overall I really liked and so I went to the next store that had only 2 dresses left and they just happened to be small and extra small which were the two sizes I was looking to try on. I ended up going with the small because the sleeves on the extra small were to tight on me to be comfortable. I am extremely happy with my purchase comfy and gorgeous and I myself didn't find it to short unlike some of the other reviews I read
cute comfortI didn't think much of this dress until I tried it on -- I fits well and feels as though you are wearing a sweatshirt. Great winter dress!
tts and lovelythis dress is so beautiful and feminine! i bought the medium and it fits perfectly. i and 36 D and 29 in waist. the length was great. it is figure flattering for someone with a little more curves. it flares out a little more than in the pic and the sleeves are pretty long. i just rolled mine up. there were no issue in the navy slip underneath for me. i like that hangs under quite a bit to really finish off the feminine style of the dress. the material it decently heavy and thick...so it really DOES make a wonderful wintry dress. overall, great dress, great fit, great quality. no issues for me.

Cute Dress!I tried this on in a regular size zero, which was quite my mistake, as I am usually a regular size 4 and thought I had grabbed that size. I'd say this runs big, as I was able to zip up the size zero without an issues, though I would probably size up to purchase. For reference, I am 5'1' and 118 lbs and usually a 4P or SP. The dress fell a couple of inches above my knees, which I thought was flattering. The shoulders fell a little off the shoulder for me- sleeves like this sometimes drive me crazy as I keep wanting to pull them up to cover my shoulders. The top portion of the dress has a leotard look to it, which I like. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is a bit short-waisted. I thought the overall look was flattering, as the skirt has a bit of an A-line shape to it. The fabric is soft and has a good weight to it. Overall, I definitely think it is worth the price tag.
great fall dressi bought the two summer versions of this dress and i loved them, but the scoop neck is a little low and occasionally my bra shows. i bought this dress because everything else was great about the others. and this one is close to perfect. the ballet scoop neck line looks so elegant, and not too low. the skirt hits at the smallest part of my waist and falls nicely….not to straight, not to flowly. hits above the knee on me (5'5), in the same place it hits the model. and the skirt has all of the lovely deep colors pictured. i also enjoy the stretch fabric. again, not too heavy but not too flowy. i am smaller on top, larger on bottom. 34A, 27 waist, 37 hips, 5'5, 127 lbs. 0 fits me perfectly…. the arms are slightly tight when i put them on, but the fabric stretches and is comfortable. my only complaint is that i cannot buy another in a different pattern.
Gorgeous!This dress was surprised me in a wonderful way right out of the package. The fabric is a little thicker than I expected, which is wonderful for fall, and feels high quality. The top of slightly more dark gray than the black it appears to be online. If you have broad shoulders or a large chest - size up! I normally wear a 6 in dresses, but thanks to other reviews I ordered an 8 and it fits perfectly (I am a 36 C with broad shoulders, if that helps anyone). The wait does come up very high, which is fine for me, because I have a smaller torso, but I can see how that might be an issue for others. Otherwise this is a gorgeous, flattering dress! :)

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Concerning the Ammonites, the LORD proclaims: Doesn't Israel have children? Aren't there heirs to his land? Why then has Milcom taken over Gad? Why have his people settled in its towns? | 1 Concerning the Ammonites: This is what the LORD says: "Has Israel no sons? Has she no heirs? Why then has Molech taken possession of Gad? Why do his people live in its towns? |
2 Therefore, the time is coming, declares the LORD, when I will sound the battle alarm against Rabbah, the capital city of the Ammonites. The city will be demolished, and its neighboring villages will be burned to the ground. Then Israel will repossess the land seized by its captors, says the LORD. | 2 But the days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah of the Ammonites; it will become a mound of ruins, and its surrounding villages will be set on fire. Then Israel will drive out those who drove her out," says the LORD. |
3 Weep, you people of Heshbon; Ai has been destroyed. Wail, you daughters of Rabbah; put on funeral clothing, cry your eyes out, run for shelter. Milcom will surely go into exile, together with his priests and ministers. | 3 "Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is destroyed! Cry out, O inhabitants of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth and mourn; rush here and there inside the walls, for Molech will go into exile, together with his priests and officials. |
4 Why do you brag about your strength? Your strength is exhausted, you rebellious daughter. You trust in your treasures, never imagining who would attack you. | 4 Why do you boast of your valleys, boast of your valleys so fruitful? O unfaithful daughter, you trust in your riches and say, 'Who will attack me?' |
5 I'm the one who will terrify you from every side, declares the LORD of heavenly forces. Every one of you will be scattered about; no one will gather those who fled. | 5 I will bring terror on you from all those around you," declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty. "Every one of you will be driven away, and no one will gather the fugitives. |
6 Afterward, though, I will bring back the Ammonites from captivity, declares the LORD. | 6 "Yet afterward, I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites," declares the LORD. |
7 Concerning Edom, the LORD of heavenly forces proclaims: Is wisdom no longer in Teman? Has good sense vanished from the perceptive? Are they no longer wise? | 7 Concerning Edom: This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed? |
8 Turn, flee, and run for cover, you inhabitants of Dedan. I'm bringing disaster on Esau: its day of reckoning. | 8 Turn and flee, hide in deep caves, you who live in Dedan, for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time I punish him. |
9 If workers would come to you to pick grapes, they would at least leave a few on the vine. If thieves would come in the night, they would take only what they needed. | 9 If grape pickers came to you, would they not leave a few grapes? If thieves came during the night, would they not steal only as much as they wanted? |
10 But me? I will strip Esau bare. I will expose his hiding places, and he will find no place to take cover. His offspring, family, and acquaintances will perish, and there will be no one left to say, | 10 But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding places, so that he cannot conceal himself. His children, relatives and neighbors will perish, and he will be no more. |
11 "Leave me your orphans, and I'll look after them; trust your widows into my care." | 11 Leave your orphans; I will protect their lives. Your widows too can trust in me." |
12 The LORD proclaims: If the innocent must drink the cup, why do you expect to escape punishment? You won't! You will drink it! | 12 This is what the LORD says: "If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, why should you go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, but must drink it. |
13 I myself swear, declares the LORD, that Bozrah will become an object of horror and scorn, a wasteland and a curse. And all of its towns will lie in ruins forever. | 13 I swear by myself," declares the LORD, "that Bozrah will become a ruin and an object of horror, of reproach and of cursing; and all its towns will be in ruins forever." |
14 I have heard a report from the LORD that a messenger is sent among the nations: Join forces and come against her; prepare for war! | 14 I have heard a message from the LORD: An envoy was sent to the nations to say, "Assemble yourselves to attack it! Rise up for battle!" |
15 I'm about to cut you down to size before the nations; you will be scorned by everyone. | 15 "Now I will make you small among the nations, despised among men. |
16 The terror you have inflicted on others has deceived you, as has your own pride. Though you live in a fortress and occupy the high ground; though you nest on high like the eagles, I will bring you down, declares the LORD. | 16 The terror you inspire and the pride of your heart have deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks, who occupy the heights of the hill. Though you build your nest as high as the eagle's, from there I will bring you down," declares the LORD. |
17 Then Edom will become a wasteland. All who pass by will be shocked by its injuries. | 17 "Edom will become an object of horror; all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff because of all its wounds. |
18 It will be like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and their surrounding towns, says the LORD. No one will live there; no human will dwell in it. | 18 As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown, along with their neighboring towns," says the LORD, "so no one will live there; no man will dwell in it. |
19 Like a lion coming up from the jungle of the Jordan to a well-watered meadow, so I will suddenly chase down Edom and single out its choicest of rams. Who is like me? Who can direct me? What shepherd can withstand me? | 19 "Like a lion coming up from Jordan's thickets to a rich pastureland, I will chase Edom from its land in an instant. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? Who is like me and who can challenge me? And what shepherd can stand against me?" |
20 Therefore, listen to the counsel that the LORD has for Edom and the plans he's devised against the people of Teman: The little ones of the flock will be dragged off, as their pasture watches in utter disbelief. | 20 Therefore, hear what the LORD has planned against Edom, what he has purposed against those who live in Teman: The young of the flock will be dragged away; he will completely destroy their pasture because of them. |
21 The earth quakes as the Edomites go down; their screams echo as far as the Reed Sea. | 21 At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble; their cry will resound to the Red Sea. |
22 Look! One who mounts up and soars like an eagle, who swoops down and spreads his wings over Bozrah. On that day, the heart of every soldier from Edom will be like that of a woman in the throes of labor. | 22 Look! An eagle will soar and swoop down, spreading its wings over Bozrah. In that day the hearts of Edom's warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor. |
23 Concerning Damascus: Hamath and Arpad lose heart when they hear the bad news. They are trembling with fear, like the raging sea, which can't become quiet. | 23 Concerning Damascus: "Hamath and Arpad are dismayed, for they have heard bad news. They are disheartened, troubled like the restless sea. |
24 Damascus staggers about; she tries to flee, but panic overwhelms her. She's gripped by anguish and pain, like a woman in labor. | 24 Damascus has become feeble, she has turned to flee and panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her, pain like that of a woman in labor. |
25 Forsaken is the renowned city, city of my delight. | 25 Why has the city of renown not been abandoned, the town in which I delight? |
26 Yes, her young men will fall in the streets, and her soldiers will be silent on that day, declares the LORD of heavenly forces. | 26 Surely, her young men will fall in the streets; all her soldiers will be silenced in that day," declares the LORD Almighty. |
27 I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will burn up the fortresses of Ben-hadad. | 27 "I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad." |
28 Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Babylon's King Nebuchadnezzar defeated, the LORD proclaims: Get ready to attack Kedar; destroy the people from the east! | 28 Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked: This is what the LORD says: "Arise, and attack Kedar and destroy the people of the East. |
29 Seize their tents and their flocks, their belongings and all their goods. Take off with their camels and shout as you go: "Panic Lurks Everywhere!" | 29 Their tents and their flocks will be taken; their shelters will be carried off with all their goods and camels. Men will shout to them, 'Terror on every side!' |
30 Run away; take cover, you people of Hazor, declares the LORD. Babylon's King Nebuchadnezzar has taken counsel and devised a plan against you. | 30 "Flee quickly away! Stay in deep caves, you who live in Hazor," declares the LORD. "Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has plotted against you; he has devised a plan against you. |
31 Get ready to attack a nation that feels safe and secure, declares the LORD, one without barred gates that lives by itself. | 31 "Arise and attack a nation at ease, which lives in confidence," declares the LORD, "a nation that has neither gates nor bars; its people live alone. |
32 Their camels will become plunder; their many cattle will be pillaged. I will scatter to the winds those who are clean-shaven, and I will bring disaster on them from every side, declares the LORD. | 32 Their camels will become plunder, and their large herds will be booty. I will scatter to the winds those who are in distant places and will bring disaster on them from every side," declares the LORD. |
33 Hazor will become a den for wild dogs, a wilderness forever. No one will live there; no human will dwell in it. | 33 "Hazor will become a haunt of jackals, a desolate place forever. No one will live there; no man will dwell in it." |
34 This is what the LORD told the prophet Jeremiah concerning Elam at the beginning of the rule of Judah's King Zedekiah. | 34 This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, early in the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah: |
35 The LORD of heavenly forces proclaims: I'm going to break the bow of Elam, the backbone of its military might. | 35 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "See, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might. |
36 I will bring against Elam four winds from the four corners of heaven, and I will scatter them to the winds. Those banished from Elam will migrate to every nation. | 36 I will bring against Elam the four winds from the four quarters of the heavens; I will scatter them to the four winds, and there will not be a nation where Elam's exiles do not go. |
37 I will terrify Elam before their enemies, before those who seek to kill them. I will bring disaster upon them, my fierce anger, declares the LORD. I will send the sword to attack them until I have destroyed them all. | 37 I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives; I will bring disaster upon them, even my fierce anger," declares the LORD. "I will pursue them with the sword until I have made an end of them. |
38 I will establish my rule in Elam and dispose of its king and officials, declares the LORD. | 38 I will set my throne in Elam and destroy her king and officials," declares the LORD. |
39 But in the days to come I will bring back the captives of Elam, declares the LORD. | 39 "Yet I will restore the fortunes of Elam in days to come," declares the LORD. |

Have you ever wondered who does those pieces of art on walls, trains, buses, toilets, seats, roofs, books, footpaths, windows, sheds, garages, stairs, bridges, caves, public property and other places?
It is the creativity in us.
A book called Orbiting the Giant Hairball explains that If you were to ask a kindergarten class how many of them were artists, they would all raise their hands. If you were to ask the same question to sixth graders, maybe one third would respond. If you were to ask the same question to a high school grade, only a few would admit to it. This was the motto behind 'somebody,' who started the 1000 Journals Project, an ongoing collaborative experiment attempting to follow 1000 journals throughout its travels. The journals are filled out and passed on from one person to another, most often random people. The goal is to provide a method for interaction and shared creativity among friends and strangers around the world. This idea was born when 'somebody' realised that as people grew older, they began to worry about criticism, shared less and under used their creativity.
In a span of 10 years, this simple yet powerful underground project has transformed into an phenomenal success, as the journals continue to travel. A documentary titled, The 1000 Journals by Andrea Kreuzhage features some fascinating stories of its travel.
If you get the book by chance, fill it up and pass it on. Even if you don't, do not hesitate to let out the creativity in you. Be it a scribble, a poem, a thought, a note or an opinion - share it and make it known.

School Kills Creativity...
If you are not prepared to be wrong, you never come up with something original.
In our society, we stigmatize mistakes.
We grow out of creativity or better we get educated out of it.
The output of public education is University professors. These look at their bodies as a means of transporting their heads.
Degrees aren't worth anything.
We know intelligence is diverse, dynamic and distinct. - 21 June 2010 at 16:42

The Darby Translation (DBY) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah (that is, the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon), | 1 The word came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. |
2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: | 2 So Jeremiah the prophet said to all the people of Judah and to all those living in Jerusalem: |
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of Jehovah hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. | 3 For twenty-three years--from the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day--the word of the LORD has come to me and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened. |
4 And Jehovah hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear, | 4 And though the LORD has sent all his servants the prophets to you again and again, you have not listened or paid any attention. |
5 when they said, Turn again now every one from his evil way, and from the wickedness of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah hath given unto you and to your fathers from of old even for ever. | 5 They said, "Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and your evil practices, and you can stay in the land the LORD gave to you and your fathers for ever and ever. |
6 And go not after other gods, to serve them and to worship them; and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. | 6 Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them; do not provoke me to anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you." |
7 But ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Jehovah; that ye might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands, to your own hurt. | 7 "But you did not listen to me," declares the LORD, "and you have provoked me with what your hands have made, and you have brought harm to yourselves." |
8 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Because ye have not listened to my words, | 8 Therefore the LORD Almighty says this: "Because you have not listened to my words, |
9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Jehovah, and [I will send] to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual wastes. | 9 I will summon all the peoples of the north and my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon," declares the LORD, "and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror and scorn, and an everlasting ruin. |
10 And I will cause to perish from them the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp. | 10 I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp. |
11 And this whole land shall become a waste, an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. | 11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years. |
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, [that] I will visit on the king of Babylon and on that nation, saith Jehovah, their iniquity, and on the land of the Chaldeans, and I will make it perpetual desolations. | 12 "But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians, for their guilt," declares the LORD, "and will make it desolate forever. |
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. | 13 I will bring upon that land all the things I have spoken against it, all that are written in this book and prophesied by Jeremiah against all the nations. |
14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands. | 14 They themselves will be enslaved by many nations and great kings; I will repay them according to their deeds and the work of their hands." |
15 For thus hath Jehovah the God of Israel said unto me: Take the cup of the wine of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it. | 15 This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: "Take from my hand this cup filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. |
16 And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. | 16 When they drink it, they will stagger and go mad because of the sword I will send among them." |
17 And I took the cup at Jehovah's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Jehovah had sent me: | 17 So I took the cup from the LORD's hand and made all the nations to whom he sent me drink it: |
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a waste, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day; | 18 Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin and an object of horror and scorn and cursing, as they are today; |
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; | 19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his attendants, his officials and all his people, |
20 and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gazah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod; | 20 and all the foreign people there; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines (those of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod); |
21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon; | 21 Edom, Moab and Ammon; |
22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles that are beyond the sea; | 22 all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea; |
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners [of their beard] cut off; | 23 Dedan, Tema, Buz and all who are in distant places; |
24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert; | 24 all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the foreign people who live in the desert; |
25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes; | 25 all the kings of Zimri, Elam and Media; |
26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. | 26 and all the kings of the north, near and far, one after the other--all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshach will drink it too. |
27 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword that I will send among you. | 27 "Then tell them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword I will send among you.' |
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall certainly drink. | 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, tell them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty says: You must drink it! |
29 For behold, I begin to bring evil on the city that is called by my name, and should ye be altogether unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts. | 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears my Name, and will you indeed go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword upon all who live on the earth, declares the LORD Almighty.' |
30 And thou, prophesy unto them all these words, and say unto them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar upon his dwelling-place, he will give a shout, as they that tread [the vintage], against all the inhabitants of the earth. | 30 "Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them: " 'The LORD will roar from on high; he will thunder from his holy dwelling and roar mightily against his land. He will shout like those who tread the grapes, shout against all who live on the earth. |
31 The noise shall come to the end of the earth: for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations, he entereth into judgment with all flesh; as for the wicked, he will give them up to the sword, saith Jehovah. | 31 The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth, for the LORD will bring charges against the nations; he will bring judgment on all mankind and put the wicked to the sword,' " declares the LORD. |
32 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth. | 32 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Look! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth." |
33 And the slain of Jehovah shall [be] at that day from [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground. | 33 At that time those slain by the LORD will be everywhere--from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground. |
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in the dust], noble ones of the flock: for the days of your slaughter are accomplished, and I will disperse you; and ye shall fall like a precious vessel. | 34 Weep and wail, you shepherds; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For your time to be slaughtered has come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery. |
35 And refuge shall perish from the shepherds, and escape from the noble ones of the flock. | 35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee, the leaders of the flock no place to escape. |
36 There shall be a voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the noble ones of the flock: for Jehovah layeth waste their pasture; | 36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture. |
37 and the peaceable enclosures shall be desolated, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah. | 37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste because of the fierce anger of the LORD. |
38 He hath forsaken his covert as a young lion; for their land is a desolation because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger. | 38 Like a lion he will leave his lair, and their land will become desolate because of the sword of the oppressor and because of the LORD's fierce anger. |

"Awesome! I halved the recipe for two people - I have to admit I had doubts about beating all that fat into my nice meringue, but it turned out wonderfully. I did add a TBSP or two of Horlick's malt powder, just because."
"I only made the cake part, but it was wonderful. I made one small substitution - rye for all the apple juice. Highly recommend that change... it's still very apple-y."
"I also made this with fig preserves. However, I didn't have enough and am trying to clean out the fridge, so I subbed in my half-tub of lotus seed paste, which didn't really come through taste-wise but gives a rich mouth feel (along with all the butter). I also subbed chopped dried figs for the pecans, and ran out of AP flour so about a cup was wh..."
"I made this with some rather tasteless cherries I poached in honey for awhile first. Then I used sour cream with some vanilla (the brand of sour cream I bought actually tasted like yogurt, it was weird). It tasted really good, but the liquid from the yogurt made it difficult to brulee properly - it was too moist on top. I can see mascarpone making..."
"I loved this. I used sundried kalamata olives. I only had white figs, which may have changed the taste a bit as I had to add about 1 tsp buckwheat honey to balance the sweet/salt.I omitted the capers because I didn't have anyBut I seriously love this spread. I think I just want to tinker with the seasonings a bit more."
"Taste-wise, this cake was good. A little chickpea taste remained, but it had nice texture. I used lemon rather than lime, but the citrus taste was strong and clear and fresh. It baked in about 40 minutes and hardly coloured at all. Unfortunately, the cake is extremely fragile and probably best made in a springform pan rather than a cake tin; mine ..."
"These are quite good, despite how little fat is in the recipe (for a muffin, anyway) I made chocolate chunk and toasted hazelnut and it was a wonderful combo!I was dumb and mixed the sugar into the dry ingredients, so I melted the butter and added it and all the other wets to the dry - still had a nice crumb. I found they baked in closer to 25 mi..."
"I used black sesame paste rather than the usual white sesame tahini... same thing, different colour. The black sesame taste mixed wonderfully with chunky peanut butter. I had to add an extra egg as my black sesame paste was much less oily than typical tahini and then it was slightly too sticky... cookies look like lumps of coal, but they taste won..."
"I made so many changes I don't know if anyone cares about how much I liked it, but I'll go ahead. I used buckwheat honey 'cause I didn't have corn syrup. I used a cup of cashews and 3/4 of a cup of black sesame. I added a dash of hot sauce when I added the vanilla. It was wonderful."

WASHINGTON, August 20, 2013 — Men pay far less attention to nutritional information and understand it less than women. A few tips go a long way, particularly if trying to build muscle.
When a food label says 'sodium' it means salt. Consuming more than 2,000 milligrams (mg on the label) is unhealthy. Calculate the amount of sodium or salt is in each serving. Beware, however, that the typical "serving size" noted on the label is far less than the amount most people eat. A serving size of soda, for example, is eight ounces. That is the size of a tea cup. Who drinks a tea cup of soda?
Calories not only count but are the key to losing or gaining weight. Total calories is the sum game and every label is based on 2,200 calorie per daily intake. That 2,200 is rarely enough for an active man to remain healthy. About 2, 800 is good for the average active man.
A calorie is a measure of heat. For nutrition, 3, 500 calories is a pound. If you eat 4,000 calories a day and burn off 2,000 a day, well, you can always make some money playing Santa at the mall.
The reverse will enable you to lose weight.
Fat measurements on labels can be confusing. There are good and bad fats. Look for the total fat content and make sure the saturated fats are 1/3 or less of the total fat.
Cholesterol is necessary to survive but too much can clog your arterial plumbing. Try to keep your total cholesterol at 300 mgs daily.
Fiber comes in two forms; soluble and insoluble. Insoluble means the fiber is not absorbed but still digested. It helps with lower level plumbing by moving things along. Soluble means the fiber is absorbed and will not help you feel fuller or help your intestines stay active.
Keep it simple and just stick with labels that say two to five grams or more per serving.
The biggie is sugar. The name 'sugar' can be disguised as sucrose, fructose, lactose, dextrose, maltose or any word that ends with 'tose'. Sugar is sugar is sugar. One secret diabetics know is fruit sugar, or fructose, is as bad as table sugar particularly the so-called water fruits such as pears, plums, peaches etc.
Percentages of vitamins and minerals can also be confusing as they are listed by percentage per serving and unless you plan on eating the entire package, forget those measurements and take a supplement.
Be careful, though. Men do not need iron supplements. Post mortem studies show men with high quantities of iron in their system have hardened heart muscles so pick a vitamin designed for men. Most will have no or very little iron.
The ingredients are listed based on how the product is sold. Most foods are sold by weight, so the ingredients are generally listed in descending order of predominance or the heaviest to the lightest.
Protein builds muscle. This is not to say one can eat 4,000 in protein then sit in a chair all day and get ripped. Protein can be found in nuts, peanut butter, light meats (No red, please-ever) and fish. A good protein drink helps if meat is not your personal menu.
One last very important tip: forget soda. A large soda can have 12 to 16 teaspoons of sugar and if you are diabetic, forget diet soda as well. The faux sugar fakes out the pancreas to secrete insulin and messes with the entire insulin/sugar balance your body struggles to maintain.

Breakfast topic: Knee-slappers {WoW}
Apr 25th 2007 8:58AM "I am a pally short and stout!
Here is my hammer, here is my mount.
When I see a horde I scream and shout!
Pop my bubble and hearthstone out."
Breakfast Topic: Testing, 1, 2, 3... {WoW}
Apr 16th 2007 7:14AM I don't bother with the PTR mainly because 1. I'm not that desperate for new content. 2. It doesn't help my character at all. 3. The patches are still buggy as hell when they get released. 4. I don't have enough time to play the normal game let alone test new stuff.
But thats not the reason I'm posting. The reason is THAT REALLY IS THE BEST SCREEN SHOT EVER!
Breakfast topic: The international sign for peace {WoW}
Apr 13th 2007 8:16AM I usually do a /wave. I remember one time when I was trying to get my LW skill up and a horde was killing boars so I helped him kill the boars and he would loot and let me skin, it was great! BTW I'm from a pvp server.
Hackers get AppleTV running WoW {WoW}
Mar 29th 2007 1:37PM Hey, if I have an idea for a post is there a email that I'm supposed to send it to? Like I'm shure you already know about the WOW arena web page (http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/arena-tournament.xml)
but if I had an idea for the breakfast topic is there a way to submit that?
Hackers get AppleTV running WoW {WoW}
Mar 29th 2007 1:07PM @GamerJunkie:
You have to understand the mindset of someone that likes to do this sort of thing. Once you do you will notice you have answered your own question. "A mac mini makes more sense here and less work.." is the answer. Yes it does take less time and is a cost effective option, however you can't say that you have WOW running one something that CLEARLY wasn't made to run it, like the appletv. Its more of a sense of accomplishment and a "because I can" mentality.
Breakfast Topic: Hero classes {WoW}
Mar 29th 2007 8:33AM When I first heard about hero classes I got pretty excited. It sounds like a great idea, and I would love to do it. An extension on the current talent system wouldn't be bad if it actually caused a permanent change. Personally I've only had two build in the game ever. So choosing one permanently wouldn't be a bad thing. It would be nice if there was certain gear that was very Hero specific. For instance a sword that is only for combat hero rogues only. The only people I would feel bad for are the classes that like to switch a lot like priests. If there was a physical model change, that would be cool too.
New realms? No. Recommended realms? Yes! {WoW}
Mar 27th 2007 11:48AM "And on Monday Drysc followed up on that by suggesting that players may want to consider joining one of the following relatively underpopulated realms: Velen, Terokkar, Rivendare, Shu'halo, and The Underbog."
/sigh My main is on The Underbog. When they threatened to break up Illidan thats the server I moved to. Well at least I dragged a few friends along for the ride.
Breakfast topic: Welcome to /ignore {WoW}
Mar 27th 2007 11:40AM I (and everyone in my guild) am on the ignore list of this random warlock. The reason why? Well one day I happen to be in SW and i get an random PST from a low level lock asking for a run through of VC. I usually respond no, but this was a paid run through and at the time I was saving for my epic mount. Price: 15g. Thats quite a bit of money considering I'd give run throughs to guildy alts for free. So I get to the end of the instance and he thanks me and walks away. I whisper him asking where is the promised gold. His response is I didn't kill everything in the instance and therefore don't deserve any payment then a /ignore. Oh boy was I pissed. Knowing that the second I get on a alt, he would just ignore me I went to my guild. They are a swell bunch of guys that gladly helped me out (considering how many times I've run them for free just to help them out).
Breakfast topic: Famous and infamous {WoW}
Mar 26th 2007 8:44AM On my old server (Illidan) there was this warrior named Thewarior who was honestly the bunt of every joke in gen chat. The jokes just never ended because not only was he a horrible warrior (or so I'm told) he would constantly defend himself and make stupid comments in gen chat thus putting more fuel on the fire. Link to his Armory profile:

An investigation into the design process, attempting to help spread appreciation for the design process to none creative and creative's alike. Using varying subjects and processes I documented each project from conception to production. One project created digitally, one by hand and finally one screen printed.

I purchased these for my grandparents who live in Ireland. They absolutely love photos (and tea obviously) so these photo coasters made the perfect gift! Will be buying a few more packs for other family who have heard the story from my grandparents about the coasters!
Great present
These coasters are an amazing gift, simple to place photos in which can be changed as often as you please, simple and effective.
glass photo coasters
The Glass Photo Coasters were just as they were described on the website. Well wrapped to protect the glass which is always key with anything fragile. Very impressed and will make the perfect gift for my friend who lost her husband weeks after they were married. She can fill the coasters with wedding photos which will be something really special.
Excellent Item
Very good quality item, photos are easy to replace and look very good. I ordered more.

This product is great. Have bought it for my step mum for Xmas. Love that you can personalize the coasters with your own photos. Very cute, sentimental gift, that I am sure she will love

A unique and very acceptable gift for friends. Delighted with my purchase.

These Glass Photo Coasters are a good quality product. An ideal Christmas gift for the grandparents.

Glass photo coasters
The Glass Photo Coasters is a great item.
glass photo coasters
I've ordered the Glass Photo Coasters as a present because they look quite good, and are something different.
different kind of present
I bought these as a present for my mum who is a big fan of photos. It's a great, original idea that doesn't take up much space and is practical! They're made of glass and so look quite impressive, but are substantial enough that you're not worried about breaking them.
This is a super idea for your dining room table or just to keep those hideous ring marks off your new coffee table. The ever changing image of your choice is there everytime you pick up a drink. A great present idea or like me a great tool for my photo studio guests to advertise my products.
Great coasters
These Black Photo Coasters are brilliant! You get 4 coasters plus a holder, they are thick glass and look great with pictures in. Would recommend these to anyone.
Perfect Gift
These coasters are lovely and a real talking point when people come round and they see a "different set" of coasters on the table. These are an ideal gift for someone who has everything and also for the "hard to buy for".
Good Quality
Bought these for my parents and in-laws as something a little different. Pleased with the quality of the coasters, but the photo does need to be a bit smaller than it states to be able to see the whole picture!
A brilliant present for any occasion
The black photo coasters are exactly as described, a brilliant way to show off special photos. Beautifully made, it makes a perfect present, and practical too!
Absolutely great
Ordered these for my Boss' birthday. They look cool, really stylish and the fact that they can be customised with your own pictures is brilliant. My boss was very pleased with them.
Great coasters
These do exactly what they say. Great for displaying new photos and hardwearing, too.
great gift
Bought these as Chrismas gifts. Great quality, hard wearing and easy to personalise. Well worth the money.
Great Product!
Purchased these as a gift, very happy with the always swift delivery and was very impressed with the quality of the product. To be honest, they're better than I thought as the price is low but the quality of the coasters is excellent so they are quite a buy!
I got this product with a 5 pound voucher i had and i would have purchased it without a voucher because it is a nice product, its more glass than wood which makes them nicer to look at. A good product.

We'll help refine your job search, improve your professional documents, practice interviewing, and more!
Cover letters
Cover letters are often an employer's first introduction to you. They are the lead-in to other documents like your resume and work samples.
A cover letter can be a business letter or an e-mail. It should briefly introduce you, explain why you're interested in the position or company, and highlight your best skills and experiences that fit the company's needs.
A good one entices employers to learn more about you.
A bad one could be the only interaction you have with an employer.
Your cover letter goes beyond your ability to sell yourself as the best available prospect. It demonstrates your ability to communicate – especially your ability to write clearly and succinctly.
Some cover letter tips:
- Research the company and tailor your letter accordingly
- Align your skills with the company
- Keep it brief
- 1 page max
- The longer your letter, the less likely it will be read
- Proofread many times
- Your letter must be error-free or it will likely be tossed aside
- Type it and sign the letter when sending a hard copy
More tips and cover letter samples are in our cover letter packet. (pdf, 72.5kb)
A resume is a key professional document that provides an overview of your relevant skills, educational background, and experience.
It isn't meant to get you a job. Rather, it gets you through the first screening and selected for an interview.
A resume summarizes what you bring to the table. The goal of the resume is to get an interview, so make sure it represents the "best you" possible.
The average employer spends 15 seconds reading a resume. Make sure yours attracts attention quickly. If it doesn't, it may never be read at all (half of all resumes go unread).
A good resume:
- Is easy to read and conveys information quickly
- Addresses the audience's needs
- Example: It explains technical content to non-techies
- Uses specific, concrete language
- Example: Developed marketing campaign that increased sales by 15 percent
- Identifies the relevant aspects of your background, skills and experience to the job
- Has zero spelling and grammatical errors
Sample resumes and more tips are in our resume packet. (pdf, 402k)
Curriculum Vitae (CV)
A curriculum vitae, or CV, is a professional document used when seeking academic and research positions. It's also a common document when searching for jobs outside the U.S.
A CV is similar to a resume, but provides a detailed overview of your relevant professional, research, and academic experiences, including a list of publications and presentations.
The typical CV is longer than a resume, with three pages often considered a minimum length.
Details on CVs and how they relate to resumes are in our CV packet. (pdf, 102k)
Professional etiquette can play an important role in your career. It can help you land a job or promotion. Similarly, it can be a reason you didn't get the job or were passed over for the promotion.
The term "professional etiquette" can run the gamut.
What exactly does it mean? Does it mean how to behave in the office? At networking events? At dinner? At after-work functions?
The short answer is "yes." Professional etiquette covers all those scenarios and more.
Good professional etiquette means you possess the social skills required in a work setting. It also proves you're a mature adult capable of succeeding, whether in the boardroom or the barroom.
Visit our office to learn more, or attend one of our workshops.
An employer will typically ask for references at some point during your job search. This is because they want to speak with people who know you and how you operate professionally.
Your references document should be separate from your resume and other professional documents.
It should be formatted neatly and include a title and contact information for each reference. You should also indicate each reference's preferred method of contact (ask them if you don't know).
When it comes to references, DO:
- Use people who know you through academic or professional experiences
- List your relationship with each reference (i.e., former supervisor)
- Keep your references document updated with the latest contact information
And DON'T:
- Use a relative or significant other as a reference
- Include your references when submitting your first resume, unless requested
- Forget to thank your references when you land the job
More information on references is available in our references packet. (pdf, 145k)
Thank you notes
Thank you notes politely show gratitude to potential employers, recruiters, interviewers, references, and others.
Sending a sincere, appreciative note shows you're grateful for their time and consideration.
It's best to send one within 24 hours of your interview, meeting, etc. However, a note a week late is better than no note at all.
Typing a thank you note, or sending an e-mail, is acceptable.
Conversely, a hand-written note on nice paper adds a personal touch that stands out.
More tips and a sample thank you note are in our thank you notes packet. (pdf, 101k)

However, I have seen it referred to as Cat in a blue post recently too. Makes me think it's called Cat in-house (Blizzard's offices) as the shorthand. Cata sounds unfinished though. Like you were gonna keep going and then forgot.
Worlds.com aims to sue over the virtual world of Warcraft {WoW}
Mar 11th 2009 7:09PM A sort of time-line.
1986 - Air Warrior, first graphical MMOG
1991 - Neverwinter Nights, first 'truly' graphical MMORPG
Those three precede his 1997 (or 1995) by years.
And as far as 'virtual worlds' go:
The concept of virtual worlds predates computers and could be traced in some sense to Pliny. The mechanical-based 1962 Sensorama machine used the senses of vision, sound, balance, smells and touch (via wind) to simulate its world. Among the earliest virtual worlds to be implemented by computers were not games but generic virtual reality simulators, such as Ivan Sutherland's 1968 virtual reality device. This form of virtual reality is characterized by bulky headsets and other types of sensory input simulation.
Sorry Thom, sounds like you may owe others money. =)

17 Jun
When Frances was 3 weeks old we started giving her a pacifier. Even as brand new parents we could tell she needed to comfort suck, and feeding on demand was giving her a lactose overload. She would gladly take the pacifier but as soon as she'd start to relax the pacifier would fall out of her mouth and she'd start crying again. After a few days we tired of this game and stopped. I was reading the archives and saw that Joy had better luck with pacifiers.
In the absence of a pacifier, Frances continued sucking on her whole fist to self-sooth. This produced a sound so loud, I swear you could hear it next door. I don't think she was happy with it either. I half-heartedly tried to show her how to suck her thumb a few times, but I wasn't sure it was a good idea. I mean, it's just a bad habit to have to break later, right?
Well, her grandmother thought it might be time to try the thumb again and Frances took to it right away (although it was a few days before she mastered it). Now she happily sucks away when she's falling asleep and is sleeping even longer stretches at night. Are we going to live to regret this?
Did you encourage your baby to use a pacifier or suck her thumb?
My baby learned how to suck her thumb when she was 2.5 months old and from that point on, she slept through the night. Before that, I tried to give her pacis, but she refused them. When I weaned her from the bottle around 12 months, her thumb sucking increased dramatically, so looking back, I wish I would have waited a bit longer to wean her. Now, at 18 months, she still loves to suck her thumb when she is tired, bored, or stressed. I am hoping that she will stop on her own as she gets a bit older. I'm planning to ignore it as much as possible. I guess we'll see…
I like the new look of this site! Do I know the photographer by any chance?
I do like the new banner.
Carrie, I think ignoring it sounds like a good idea so it doesn't become a big "issue". I don't want to make it a bigger deal then it is.
Nancy, I'm glad you like the new site! But no, I don't think you know the photographer since even I don't!
I sucked my fingers as a child. It can be hard to wean a kid off of that! I had to have professional intervention at age 4 or 5 when my unusual way of sucking my fingers was starting to give me an overbite. Fortunately I think that sucking a thumb is not so dangerous for the orthodontia. The other good news is that one session with some sort of child psychologist or dental therapist (?) cured me of the finger sucking.
Gina, do you remember the session with the therapist? I'm curious as to what she said to you that "cured" you.
My oldest starting sucking her thumb around 4 months and it also increased after I weaned her at 13 months due to pregnancy. She is almost 5 and still sucks her thumb at night or when she's uncomfortable. I tried to get my youngest to use both a pacifier and her thumb, to no avail.
Gina, I think you are remembering that wrong. I thought you had a whole month's worth of therapy. There was a party at the end when you made it. I wasn't invited. NOT FAIR!
Before my daughter turned 4 I told her that when she turned 4 she couldn't suck her thumb anymore. The day after, she started to put her thumb to her mouth, looked at it, and started sucking her index finger instead.
Deb, that's one smart cookie! Hilarious!
Rebecca, I had no idea you were still holding a grudge about that party after more than 30 years! As a matter of fact, I do remember the therapy session, sort of. The therapist mentioned a friend of mine (Colleen) who had recently stopped sucking her thumb, and also dropped the information that the friend had gotten some sort of prize at the end of a certain period of time of not sucking her thumb. It was a very vivid visual for me of my friend being able to do it, and me getting the prize. I got a gold star on a calendar every day that I didn't suck my fingers. I thought that it was three months, but maybe it just seemed like that because I was a kid. I remember the prize being a toy train that we used to have for going around the Christmas tree. Rebecca seems to remember it as a big party that she wasn't invited to. Maybe it was both! Lucky me!
Gina, I asked your dad about it and he mentioned the train set prize. He also said that you talked with the therapist regularly on the phone to discuss your progress and such, but doesn't remember a party.

RCDS 2011 MA Graduation and Course Reunion
The MA graduation for the RCDS 2011 intake, postponed from July owing to the Olympics, was held at the Barbican on 24 October 2012.
The photo shows: (Left to right) Mohammed Alshehri, Shane Stover, Mike Bullock, Malcolm Cree, Tim Dakwat, Osasogie Usamere, Colin Mokhosi, Milan Váňa, Alija Kozljak, Dave Cass, Mark Garratt and Graeme Mackay.
On the day, a good proportion of the 2011 MA cadre were able to attend the King's College, London ceremony at the Barbican. This was followed by an evening Reception for graduates and partners hosted by the Commandant and RCDS Staff at Seaford House. Dr Warren Chin, the Director of Studies, gave a speech of congratulations and Graduation certificates were presented by Dr Stuart Griffin, the Dean of the King's College Defence Studies Department at Shrivenham. The final note to the formalities was the presentation of the Richard Edis Prize to Mark Garratt for the best overall performance.
Chris Daykin, the Course Secretary, also coordinated the first Course Reunion on 22 and 23 of October to tie in with the MA graduation that week. Overseas members came from as far afield as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Norway, USA, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Nigeria, Afghanistan and the Czech Republic. We are not sure if Phil Cox coming from Scotland counts pending their vote for independence; however, given that he is now an advisor to the Scottish Government, anything could happen!
Part of the reunion was held at RAF Halton, including a tour of Halton House, visiting the WW1 training trenches and a huge BBQ hosted by the Flying Club (sadly the weather stopped the intended flying programme from going ahead).
On the 23rd there was time for shopping in the morning, where once again Morten Sannes proved to be the Course shopaholic. In the afternoon we had a great visit to the new BBC building thanks to the organisation of Simon Marr.
The Reunion was then topped off with cocktails at the Oxo Tower followed by dinner at the Frontline Club. Thanks go to Chris in particular for organising the first Reunion, but also everyone who did their bit to make it a great event and hopefully we will manage to get even more people together at the next one (which may be held in a European capital).
