The maxi length- passing fad?
I have to say that I am not a fan of the maxi dress. I am simply unsure where this length fits into my lifestyle. I feel like I need clothes that can multi task and the maxi seems too much like party-wear. Your thoughts?
I think they look great on the young gals, but they're not for me....I would think them to be troublesome for my active lifestyle....too much fabric in the way. I'm only 5'4... a better length for me is 7" above the ankle or around the knee.
I think they are definitely a passing fad.
The girls at the high school where I teach are all wearing them. I think they are GREAT! I mostly love the COVERAGE!! They look so comfortable. I haven't tried one on but I have been thinking about it. I think they are perfect for casual but not slumpy. Nothing wrong with upping the life style a bit!! The jeans jeans jeans thing I never got and I wish it were OVER.
I have a few and like to wear them out to dinner during the summer. Typically I bring a shawl along for comfort.
They are a fad, IMO, so I don't spend much $$$ on them. I prefer shorter dresser (knee length or just below).
Now I'm trying to find ankle length slacks to wear to work with heels (like my sylish DD's wear). Geesh! Trends!
I'm not interested in the either, but it seems they are always available as beach wear.
I remember about 10 years back wearing a maxi khaki skirt. I wore it to work, where I mostly sit.
I also remember even further back when I youngest graduated fifth grade. All the girls wore ankle length dresses to the graduation.
I'd almost forgotten how comfortable a skirt is...and so cool in summer. I'm 5'5- slim hipped,medium build and feel my long skirts ( to ankle) are my most flattering look. I wear the same way / places I wear capris, jeans, slacks. Dress them up or down. I also like a-line just below knee. Love skirts!
We live in a beachy town and they are fairly common around here. Most of the maxis i see don't fit the wearer very well. They are often too long or have too much fabric or just overwhelm. I do appreciate that they aren't tight or revealing. It's always a little jarring to be doing your weekly grocery shopping behind someone in a bathing suit and a see through beach cover up.
My teen daughters mostly wear them when they go to parties or to dinner with friends. I think they are a fad so I wouldn't spend a lot of money on one.

I just bought one at Land's End. I've never worn one before but this was so comfortable I felt like I was wearing a long, soft T shirt. It's shorter in the front and not too voluminous.
We've rented a place on the beach in the Outer Banks and this will be perfect to wear out to dinner. It's inexpensive and if it's a fad then I haven't invested much.
Here is a link that might be useful: dress
I really like the straight line, simple style with the right fabric. They are great in the summer, breezes all around and nothing binding. Very comfortable for shopping and a lot of options for wearing in different situations.
They aren't for everyone or every activity and some are a bit over the top. Some are just nice dresses which are easily hemmed to any length.
The thing is though, I am old and wore them during the hippy era. When pregnant with my one son during a very hot summer, I wore them all the time. I wasn't a hippy, they were just as popular then as now and not sure the style lasted very long.
Remember "skorts"? They are back too, saw an ad for them in knee length.
Lol I am old too- and I do remember them from the past. I did buy one a year ago; haven't worn it but will do so this summer. I think they are super comfy - great in the summer especially easy breezy and no worries about how you sit.
Like anything, fit determines if it's a good thing or not. I thought they've always been around, but yes I guess lately they are featured more prominently so I they are likely a bit of a fad. I think since they are so comfy and practical, they will stay around (but of course -they won't seem as new or fresh......kind of like granite countertops.They just make sense)
Do not care for this fad--and I definitely think it's a fad. To me, they don't look good on anyone, no matter how thin or tall. It's just too much dress. Very very tall very very thin women can at least carry off billows of fabric but 99.9% of maxi dress wearers are NOT very very tall and very very thin.
Then too for some reason the name of the item conjures up a truly unfortunate word association with feminine hygiene products No logic, but every time I hear maxi I think of...something I really don't care to recall as a happily post-menopausal woman :).
I dont really think it is a fad but I am not sure how long something has to be around to not be a fad. :) They didnt call it a "maxi", but I have been wearing long skirts to work since I graduated College and sadly that was a bit over 20 years ago.
I wear them to my ankle and you can dress them up down etc. Some years over the last 20 years it has been more difficult to find them then at other times. I have always been able to find them though. I usually get a couple new ones every year, over time they tear or dont fit :( so I have to replenish. :)
They are one of those things that comes in and out of style. They have been around again this time for at least a couple of years, maybe longer.
I like them on others, but I am also short (and curvy) and thought I could not wear them. However, I have found a couple that are pretty flattering. I have to be careful and cannot have the yards of fabric but need a straight shape or one that is straight so far down and then flares more towards the bottom. Kind of a trumpet skirt style I guess. I do not wear dresses often. I probably prefer the maxi skirts over the dresses. I recently bought one that has the mitered stripes that meet at the center front (and back) seam and that seems to have a slenderizing/lengthening effect. I like a maxi to just graze the tops of my feet and I cannot wear flats with them.
IMO the maxi is not a passing fad but is a style that is occasionally more popular at some times than others. Right now they are trendy so I may buy more if I find some I like. I love my 2 maxi summer dresses I bought a couple of years ago and wear them several times each in the summer. Neither of mine were inexpensive but IMO you get what you pay for and I'll wear them for years. I'm thin and only 5'5 so would never buy without trying on as some are too long for me. I like them to skim my ankles. I always wear dressy wedge sandals with them so I feel taller which I like! Both of mine are quite straight and made of knitted cotton so very comfortable to wear and great to pack for travel. They take very little space in a suitcase and don't wrinkle. I can dress them up or down wearing with either a jean jacket for shopping or dressy cardi for dinner. The reason I don't wear them as often as I'd perhaps like is that I drive a pick-up and it's easier to get in and out of in pants. I have to be careful not to drag the bottom of a long dress.
I was just watching Mad Men the other night (a show about advertising company in the 60s for those who have never heard of it). I noticed that while some of the women were wearing mini-dresses that were INCREDIBLY short, there were one or two women that had on maxi dresses.
I think some people can wear them well, depending on the style/cut, but others just look silly. I personally wouldn't wear one even though they look so comfortable, because I'm not tall, only 5'3" and a style like that would not be flattering on my body type. The other reason I wouldn't wear one is b/c my legs (especially my calves) are one of my nicest body features so I prefer to wear dresses/skirts that come to just above my knee. I'm happy to keep my midsection covered and emphasize my nice legs! I have several cotton sundress type of dresses that I bought last summer that look much better for my figure.
That said, my 15 y/o dd, who is slightly taller than me, bought a maxi dress and looks really cute in it.
I've always loved them and worn them. I think long skirts for women will always be present, in some form or another.
I am short and fat and still wear them. I have a long black skirt that I wear for travel, and also sometimes for work. the maxi dresses are always too long, so I cut off the bottoms or hem them.
I hate pants and wish I didn't have to wear them as much as I do. But now with the "no nude pantyhose" rule, it gets harder to wear skirts to work.
I went shopping for a maxi dress yesterday, did not find any. I was looking for something not billowy or drapey, more like a long tank top, not too fitted though and in black, no print.
I would wear it in Florida around the house, but it's something I could hop in the car and run an errand in.
I can't help but think of 60's hippie wear (my generation), and it's not in me to revisit, even though I'm tall and thin. I did buy a mid-calf skirt for summer and took it to Hawaii a couple of years ago and I've worn it a few times since. I like it with a long-ish tank-type shirt but it needs a wrap of some sort if it gets chilly. The skirt is a bit full at the bottom but fitted in the hips. I really don't care for maxi-length dresses at all, especially those with straight skirts.
Interesting some can't find them-its pretty much all you can find where I am. Capris and long dresses are warm weather staples.
Theyre not called maxi dresses tho! Floor length. I have a couple knit sleeveless ones I love. My office freezes in the summer so theyre a great choice. I wear adenim jacket and chunky jewelry and am rright in style.
My 5'4" daughter has been wearing them for a couple of years now, and they look great on her. The first few I tried on I didn't like, but last year I made a tank style maxi dress, and it is cute on. I'm almost 5'9", and I wouldn't wear anything with a full skirt - too much fabric - but that's not what I've been seeing in the stores. For a recent trip to Mexico I wore a slim-ish maxi skirt and tank top on the plane. It was a great traveling outfit, as my legs were kept warm from the chill of the plane's air conditioning, but it was much more comfortable when I got off the plane than pants would have been. But since my legs are still my best asset I do prefer shorter dresses. :)
Trying styles that are out of the comfort range can be fun and enlightening. I think of of it as staying young as I age. I bought a pair of screaming, deep yellow skinnies to wear under a short navy printed dress in Autumn and it will look current, stylish and cool with my motorcycle boots!
It's just clothes, have fun.....
I have many.. Have been wearing them for as long as I can remember (under different names). They come in many styles. I have a straight dressier shirt-dress style black maxi that comes to my ankles that I just love-- alas, it's two sizes smaller than I am currently wearing. I generally prefer cotton but so many in the stores now are some sort of synthetic fiber.
Love them for sitting on the patio, a casual dinner or running to the store. I find them cool, comfy and easy going.. I am more likely to wear them with flat sandals, flip flops or even (gasp) keds.
Hardly a fad in my book-- but i think people tend to call a lot of things they don't like "fads".
Love your style pesky1! Long dress, denim jacket and chunky jewelry - wonderful current style.
Bumblebeez, you are so right about staying young with fashion and I so agree that âÂÂIt's just clothes, have fun...âÂÂ
Justgotabme �" in a perfect world it would be so! âÂÂPersonally, I think they should all be available all the time so each of us can wear what looks best on our own body.âÂÂ
Funkyart �" IMO you nailed it - âÂÂHardly a fad in my book-- but i think people tend to call a lot of things they don't like âÂÂfadsâÂÂ.â I find that's likely true with both fashion and home decor.
Have been remembering some of my past fashion choices and I've worn quite a few long skirts over the last 50 years. While I had great legs when I was younger and still have pretty good ones it's not something I feel comfortable showing off in public except at the beach or pool so never wear shorts or short skirts in other situations. IMO there are too many women of all ages who don't seem to realize how unattractive their legs really are and they might look better in a long skirt or pants. Again IMO few women have really attractive knees.
While waiting for a light to change in downtown D.C., I happened to see the back of a woman wearing a maxi. The pattern was diagonal, making her more-lean-than-not body shape seem wider. So, just a warning: Take the dressing room with the 3-way mirror!
lo and behold, I searched again just now and found it, on the Artful Home site, ordered a second one, in black also. It is longer on me than on this tall model but it doesn't touch the floor. This fabric can be crushed in a ball and doesn't wrinkle which makes it great for travelling. I wore it in really hot weather and even though synthetic it feels cool.
I am with those who say it is not a fad. I agree the popularity ebbs and flows some, but there always seem to be some around. As to height, I think that depends on your build. I am 5'3" with a slim build (not quite as slim as when I was younger -sigh) and have always been able to look fine in them. I have a colleague who is about 5' and tiny who wears them a lot and she also looks terrific.
I am not, however, a fan of mid-calf lengths. I think they make legs look terrible most of the time. Knee length that shows the curve looks good to me as does short, but only on young women with nice legs and slim knees.
All that said, I also believe we should wear what we like, what makes us feel good, and what is comfortable. Looks are way down on my list, even though this post doesn't sound like it! ;)
Luckygal....I so agree with you. Was a shorts gal for longer than I can remember. My legs looked great up until 50s. While at an exercise class I realized my knees had "fallen", ugh and do not were anything that doesn't cover them. Now I see they have plastic surgery for knees, nope won't go there.
If maxis are a fad, at least one can shorten them and alter the dress for wearing whatever length is in.
As the guy here, maybe my view doesn't matter, but I've never cared for those ankle-length looks on Women. IMO, they don't flatter anyone.
Then there's the mentioned "mid-calf" lengths....>...geez they look like hell.
And yes...I AM Mr. Blackwell! ;-)

I don't think this would have been a very common reaction to hearing someone got raped back then.
Besides, it would be a scandal, possibly putting a mark on Lord Gillingham's reputation. So far, the servants at Downton, especially Mrs Hughes and Mr. Carson, have been very committed to preventing anything that could be seen as scandalous from becoming public.

Seven-year-old Zachary stared at the page of the book in front of him, chewing his lip in concentration. "The dog began to g-g- ... What's this word?"
"Remember your reading tools?" said his sister, Zoe, leaning over from where she was reading her own book. "Try reading the rest of the sentence."
"The dog began to g- ... the bone in his paws." He squinted at the illustration, resting his hand on the fluffy Golden Retriever sitting next to him. "Gnaw! That's right!"
Beaming, he gave the dog a treat and went back to the rest of his story, pointing out to his dog, Brody, the particularly funny parts. After he finished the book, he took out a Post-it and wrote "gnawed" on the paper, dropping it into a bag labeled "Tricky Trouble Words Bag." Once mastered, the word goes onto his "Doggone Brilliant" poster hanging in our kitchen.
Zach and Zoe are part of a group of children participating in How Your Dog Can Help Your Child Read, Lead and Succeed, an eight-week program devised by educator Dr. Lori Friesen as a way to integrate literacy, humane education and life success skills. I signed them up out of curiosity. Could our goofy dog really help them become better readers? But we left the program with so much more than a few new vocabulary words. More than a simple "read to a dog" program, this class requires the involvement of the kids, the family dog and even me. Each of us has weekly "Bonework" assignments supporting the week's new skill, a fact the kids are happy to remind me of every day.
A new program called 'How Your Dog Can Help Your Child Read, Lead and Succeed,' is getting dramatic results. Incorporating dogs into learning comes naturally to Friesen, who taught elementary school around the world for 10 years before returning to graduate school. While teaching second grade, Friesen noticed the natural affinity the children had for her Maltipoo, Tango, and decided to allow the children to earn one-on-one "Tango Time" in the classroom's Reading Corner by exhibiting acts of kindness.
Soon she noticed an unexpected benefit. "Some of the little boys I had a hard time engaging started bringing in books to read to Tango," she says. "They would be arguing on the playground about which books she liked the best!"
Friesen was so thrilled with the results that she decided to pursue a Ph.D. while exploring the role of animal-assisted reading programs in child literacy. This research resulted in the development of How Your Dog Can Help Your Child Read, Lead and Succeed. Reading programs using dogs as a tool to help boost kids' confidence have been around for years, but Friesen wanted a program even more comprehensive than the usual animal-assisted literacy programs, which often involve a dog the child doesn't know.
In How Your Dog Can Help Your Child Read, Lead and Succeed, children read to their own dogs five days a week at home. Each week, the children practice a new skill; it may be a game, a reading comprehension strategy or even a meditation with their dogs. For Friesen, fun is key. "If kids like doing something, they'll want to do it more," she says. "Children's test scores improve when they enjoy doing daily reading at home."

I was on my way to the Best in the Desert Nevada 200 Trail Ride, and was passing the time during the long lonely drive by talking to my brother on the phone. He asked what bike I would be riding there and I said the 2014 Beta 450 RR. "A what? Beta? What the hell is that, some no-name Euro bike? You couldn't get a KTM?" replied my often-uncouth sibling. "Sounds like you are not going to have any fun. Good luck with that."
I told him I personally requested the 450 RR for the ride, knowing that Casey Folks and Scot Harden map out some of the gnarliest trails for the ride every year. I needed a smooth operator with easy-to-manage power for technical trails. My
personal experience with the 2012 model
told me the Beta would be a good choice, but my brother's skepticism had me wondering. Would the updated 2014 Beta 450 RR be as good as I remember, or was I in for a world of hurt?
The Nevada 200 is a three-day invite-only trail ride put on by Best in the Desert in the mountains and valleys outside of the old railroad and mining town of Caliente. BITD boss-man Casey Folks and AMA Hall of Famer Scot Harden started the Nevada 200 in 1984 as a way for them to meet up with other industry people for a ride in their favorite terrain. This year would be the 30th anniversary and I was excited to get an invite. Two options were offered an A or C loop for each day. The A loop would be tough, while the C was said to be "too easy" by those that had attended before. So A loop it would be for me, and a perfect test for the Beta 450 RR.
Beta has updated the 450 RR for 2014 to improve durability as well as handling. The RR's double-cradle molybdenum steel frame has been strengthened in key areas but retains the same geometry. The suspension received the most attention from Beta's engineers, with the 48mm Sachs TFX getting new compression and rebound pistons along with revised damping. At the back the Sacks piggyback also gets updated damping and a stiffer spring. A more rigid seat base ensures a better fit to the frame. Aesthetically, the 450 RR gets a new front fender and seat cover and the plastics are a bright red from the 2013 white colorway.
The engine remains unchanged, including the fueling via a carburetor. The transmission does get some love with a modified shift drum for smother shifts while the countershaft gets new heat-treating. The shaft bearings have been beefed-up as well.
As I adjusted the levers and bars to my liking, I admired the quality of the hardware and components of the Beta. From the levers to the cushy Domino grips to the red-trimmed digital speedo unit, everything is top-notch. The rider's area is roomy with wide and tall bars. Right away, however, I noticed the seat was firmer than I would expect, and by the end of Day 1 it was without a doubt too firm. My tailbone disapproves.
On the trail, something seemed a little off with the handling f the 450RR. The rear-end kicked and deflected off any stone larger than a baseball and the front fork was not what you would call plush. It was very different than what I remembered of the 2012 model, of which we said was slightly too soft. This felt like they had gone too far in the other direction. For fast desert blasting it worked well, soaking up the bigger hits with much more control than before, but the ground-following Velcro feel was gone. Not a good thing. At the end of the day I was left disappointed, and let the Beta reps know.
The next morning the Beta guys let me know they backed off the compression damping on both the front and rear. They also sped the rebound by a couple of clicks on the front fork. As soon as we hit the trail, the difference was night and day; the Beta handling I raved about in the last few years was back. Yes, on big G-outs things would bottom out, but I would gladly take a few hard hits over a full day of bouncing off anything larger than a tic-tac.
With the suspension sorted, the RR turned with a lightness that makes tight trail work a joy. The wide bars give you plenty of leverage to muscle the Beta into the corner, while the frame allows for a solid feel and controllability that is one of the best ever. If you are a single-track junky you owe it to yourself to take a ride on a Beta. On the faster wide-open sections the chassis is stable and planted. The front does knife and then push in deep sand, but move back a bit further on that super-firm seat and all is good.
Power-wise the Beta has a strong and satisfying bottom to mid, but it does leave something to be desired on the top. The RR torques out of tight corners, letting you ride a gear high if you want to get lazy. Row through the well-spaced transmission and you can absolutely blast from turn to turn. The Nevada 200 took us from 3000 to 7000 feet in elevation, and even at the higher altitudes the carburation worked well. Yes, the engine response tapered off but there was no stumbling on or off the throttle.
The improved transmission shifted flawlessly day in and day out with crisp changes and a light lever. Clutch feel from the hydraulic unit was good, but not as connected as a cable-actuated unit. I'm a habitual clutch abuser, but the RR' s set-up remained fade-free throughout the three-day ride.
Braking on the Beta is one of the best out there. The Nissin front master cylinder puts forth great power with a communicative feel. At the rear the performance is even better and allows you to modulate the pedal to settle the chassis when crawling around in the rocks without being grabby.
At the end of three days shredding the epic trails of the Nevada 200, I was left satisfied with my choice of bike. At first I struggled with the Italian beauty's suspension, but just a few turns of a flathead screwdriver made all the difference in the world. My original assessment that the 2014 Beta 450 RR would make an excellent mount on which to tackle the rough, rocky and tight trails of Caliente proved to be true. I had a great time at the Nevada 200 and I'll be back next year – hopefully on a Beta.

About Ontario Improv

More than half a century after the Improvisation opened its first comedy club in NYC and became the best place to catch sets by Richard Pryor, Billy Crystal and Jerry Seinfeld in their prime, the Ontario Improv carries on the legacy as one of the greatest venues for rising comedy stars in the Inland Empire. Founded in 2001, the Ontario Improv showcases nationally touring headliners alongside tomorrow's next big acts. Few comedy clubs are as universally known and respected as the Improv, and surprisingly little has changed as the Improv brand has spread to cities across the country. Just a mic stand, a spotlight and that iconic brick wall — and a host of talented comics making people laugh nightly.

There is a two-item per person minimum purchase required at this venue. For Friday and Saturday shows, you must be age 21 or older to attend. For Sunday through Thursday shows, you must be age 18 or older to attend.

Soaking in Peroxide and water
I have read that soaking seeds in a mixture of peroxide and water speeds the germination process.
I just tried the following mixture for some melon seeds
9 cc of water & 3 cc of Peroxide (a 3 to 1 mixture) after 5 hours I planted the seeds and placed them in a greenhouse how soon should I see the first sprouts (ball park figure)
You dont say what kind of seeds.....................I dont think this is some kind of magic instant germination formula. It may help some types of seed that are slow, it may not make any difference at all.
Why dont you try some of the same seed without the peroxide soak, and let us know if you find a difference.
I think you may be mixing together a couple of unrelated suggestions. First, many large hard seeds will benefit from pre-soaking and it is a fairly common practice. However it is done with just lightly warm water and for a period of 12-24 hours.
A brief soak in a peroxide mixture (10:1 of water to peroxide) is recommended by some seed savers as a way of disinfecting saved seeds before drying them for storage. Some also use a diluted peroxide mist for stopping fungus/mold growth on soil. But adding it to a pre-soak isn't a common practice and while it might disinfect them it really serves no other real purpose.
Since you only soaked the seeds for such a short time I doubt the peroxide hurt them even though it is a stronger mixture. But how fast those seeds will germinate will all depend on the soil temperature used.
Most melon seeds will germinate in 4-8 days if given soil temps between 70-75 degrees, 3-5 days if provided with warmer soil. In cooler soil it can 10-14 days.
Let us know how yours do.

I use Theme Responsive, with Dashboard Site Notes version 1.3.2
I've been working on embedding youtube videos within the "Site Instruction" layout. I have a link below that helps explain my problem without trying to explain the issue in 100 words or less. Before I placed the last video in my contents I did edit the "parent" page "SRBC Site instructions content page" by adding an image letting the words wrap around from the right prior to adding the last embedded video "SRBC Ultimate TinyMCE Editor video tutor. Could this be the reason my last embedded video title is showing up just right of the previous ordered video? I have deactivated plugins and such to no avail.
any help or advice would be much appreciated,

Road Trip: UAE's Eastern Region
Last month I left behind endless vistas of sand dunes for the mountains as I road tripped around the UAE's dynamic eastern region in a slick Maserati Quattroporte S. From the Dubai enclave of Hatta to Oman's dramatic Musandam Peninsula and colorful mountain markets to Ras Al Khaimah's well manicured luxury resorts and golf clubs, it's my favorite part of the country.
Published in the March 2015 edition of Condé Nast Traveller Middle East. Click the spread below to access the story, or grab the issue on stands around the GCC this month and available to download from the App Store.
And a humorous sign at Khor Fakkan beach: "No grill finally". Yes, finally, the ban I've been waiting for all this time.
Morning Mountains
One of my favorite things about my flat in DIFC are my views. To the one side (seen below) I look over the residential neighborhood of Zabeel towards Ras Al Khor (the wetland reserve), and to the other side I have full-on cityscape skyscraper views of Sheikh Zayed Road and DIFC. And admittedly, I do prefer the latter – but I've always thought it would be amazing to see the Hajar Mountains from home. If was even possible to ever see them – I always wondered if they were simply too far away, no matter the day's clarity.
After living here for pretty much exactly one year, I finally got my answer during today's sunrise, an impressively clear one.
At first I thought that perhaps it was simply Fossil Rock, but once I whipped out the camera for a better view, I think the length and layers in the distant landscape mean it must be the Hajars. Whatever or wherever it is, it's a pretty scene.
That's not my name
As of yesterday, I have officially given up on my name.
Even in America, people struggled with the name "Laurel". It's not a commonplace name, but it's not completely bizarre either, yet people just could not wrap their minds around it.
"My name is Laurel."
"No, LAH-RELLLL."
Even as I grew up in school, teachers somehow couldn't get it. At times, during the first day of class of a new school year, an attendance sheet would get passed around and you'd make sure your name was on there and spelled correctly. I swear I can recall an occasion or two when I got the sheet only to find that "Laurel" had already been crossed out and replaced by "Lauren" (or something similar). As if my name was a typo.
I've always found the confusion doubly baffling because I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Where everyone goes skiing in the nearby Laurel Highlands and the state flower is the Mountain Laurel. And nobody ever messes those names up.
Upon moving to Dubai, where varying degrees of English fluency and a plethora of accents are bandied about, I knew immediately that there would be no point in trying to get my name across correctly – particularly in situations like ordering food, making reservations or almost any sort of phone conversation. In official situations I give it, but the two most usual responses I get are: (when speaking my name) "Ms Maurel?" and (when spelling my name) "L-A-U-R-E-O?". I can see where the "Maurel" comes from, but I'm always confused as to why people insist on hearing the final "L" as an "O" when I spell it out.
And it's to the point now that I don't even bother giving most people my real name.
"Your name, ma'am?"
"Lara, L-A-R-A."
There, easy as pie. Who can mess that up?
"Ms Mara?"
Oh well, it's still simpler to get Lara across than Laurel.
Then, yesterday, I hit rock bottom when dropping clothes off at a dry cleaner.
"My name is Lara, L-A-R-A."
I look at the receipt to see "Liro" written down. I open my mouth to correct the name and suddenly realize that I cannot be bothered. You know what? Close enough. You've got an "L" at the beginning and an "R" and some vowels tossed in there. I'll take it.
Snowboarding The Jungfrau
This was not my first rodeo. I've headed out to the Jungfrau region for a snowboarding holiday a couple of times before in the past handful of years, but something about this year felt a bit different. Maybe it was the weather, maybe the town we stay in, Wengen, is not as quaint as I remember it, maybe it's just that I'm getting used to the place so it feels less interesting or exotic… I don't know.
All that aside, Wengen is a charming little village, accessible only via a rack and pinion railway (the world's longest) from either Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald. Of course that's after three other trains: Zurich to Bern; transfer for Bern to Interlaken Ost; transfer for Interlaken Ost to Lauterbrunnen. But once you get into the village, it's pleasantly car-free. With the exception of the hotels' electric cars, which seem to have seriously multiplied since my last visit. A "pedestrianized" town loses some of its charm when you still have to keep an eye out for vehicles when walking down the village streets.
Snowboarding was a bit of a mixed bag this year and I think that's where I felt the biggest difference, with the weather playing a significant role. Continue reading →
36 Hours In Bern, Switzerland
When indulging in a snowboarding holiday in the Swiss Alps, we often find ourselves with a day or two to spare before or after making our way to the mountain resort of Wengen. As we fly into Zurich, that's normally where we spend our extra time – and good times have been had there (I'm looking at you, warehouse district and Hive Club) – but this year we decided to switch it up and spend some time in Switzerland's quiet, old and totally charming capital.
Bern is about an hour away from Zurich on Switzerland's heinously expensive rail system. But hey! It's a good introduction to the country, where everything is heinously expensive (except alcohol, if you happen to be a GCC resident), so may as well get used to it. With a couple of suitcases as well as an unwieldy snowboard bag, it was a relief that our stay, the Hotel Schweizerhof, was an easy jaunt just across the street from the train station (the hotel is also a short walk from the Old City, situated just outside of its border).

Accounts Payable Solutions › E-Invoicing
Enjoy paperless invoice processing from day one, with no scanning or data capture hassles.
The drive to eliminate paper invoices has been around for decades. Until recently, the best option for electronic invoice processing was to buy a costly e-invoicing solution for scanning and data capture. In other words, you could systematically
convert your paper into images and use OCR to capture the data. But why manage paper to go paperless? Go electronic! COR360's electronic invoicing system eliminates the paper trail by providing your suppliers with a comprehensive network for remitting
Corcentric realizes that moving to a fully integrated e-invoice solution does not happen overnight. However, with the goal to be paperless, there will undoubtedly initially still be paper in the process. COR360 is one of the only electronic invoice
presentment and payment solutions that also offers a comprehensive, fully-integrated invoice virtualization solution for paper-based invoices. Our Invoice Virtualization Centers provide electronic invoice conversion services such as scanning and
data capture to convert paper invoices to electronic invoices, so you can go 100% paperless immediately. Meanwhile, we begin the process to convert your suppliers to the Corcentric Supplier Network (CSN) so you can submit electronic invoice payments
in the future. With the Corcentric process, you never have to touch a paper invoice again starting from day one.
Driving productivity with an Accounts Payable workflow typically starts with scanning paper invoices. However, studies show that even the most efficient AP department cannot achieve maximum productivity just by scanning and converting paper invoices. The goal
of EBPP solutions (Electronic Bill Pay and Presentment) should be to convert 50-80% of your volume to electronic invoicing.
Utilizing e-invoice software offers a variety of benefits when compared to traditional paper invoice processing. Most notably, electronic invoicing can greatly improve productivity. Specific benefits of Corcentric's e-invoice solutions include:
Electronic invoicing eliminates issues that inevitably come with paper-based processes such as misplacing or losing paper, duplicating or overpaying invoices, or making late payments. With COR360's e-invoicing solution, visibility is instantly improved with online notifications that remind approvers that an e-invoice needs to be processed. In addition to increasing consistency in the invoicing process, it also improves the audit review process. AP departments can quickly provide access to e-invoices based on internal and external audit requests.
Our electronic invoice mapping services direct electronic invoice data from your suppliers' billing system in the Corcentric Supplier Network and into COR360 for instant access to your invoice and payment activity.

April 2014 - the announcement of the ERYC local plan has meant the station site is going to be developed. The MRC is objecting to the plan which significnatly damages our efforts to get the line re-opened and re-built.
JULY 8TH 2013 - over 200 signatures collected in favour of the railway including many younger people who clearly saw the benefit a railway station would bring to the village in coming years. A credit to their parents and the village.
The station will be located on the A166 near the edge of the village. The first sketch is what we think the general station area will look like and how the facilities might be laid out. This sketch is based on the station being located adjacent to the A166 (see also issues below).
The second map (from the 2005 Carl Bro report) shows the alignments around Stamford Bridge in blue.
November 2011 - public meeting held at Stamford Bridge Cricket Club
February 2012 - David Wells of MiRC met with three members of Parish Council to discuss plans.
March 2012 - Full Stamford Bridge Parish Council to meet to discuss supporting MiRC.
April 2012 - MiRC write to parish clerk about news of decision. Decsion published in Link magazine - Parish Council finally send this text to MIRC on 14th April.
"Councillor Flynn reported that he and Councillors Butterfield and Ingham had met with David Wells of the Minsters Rail Campaign. It was agreed that the Council could not formally sign up to supporting the Campaign until a further feasibility study was undertaken to ascertain whether or not the project was still realistically viable."
The MiRC have written to the council asking for a full explanation of the decision. In summary we think the Parish Council do not support us but have decided it is better to take this non commital postion for the time being.
May 2012 - further reply from parish clerk still remainng largely non commital.
July 8th 2012 - MRC attended Stamford Bridge Fayre and sponsored children's entertainer Professor Fiddlesticks (campaign member John Cossham). Over 200 people signed the Minsters Railway camapign petition including a number of young people who clearly saw the benefits a railway station would bring to the village.
At the public meeting held in the village in 2011 (see news column) a number of issues were raised by the residents for further consideration by the campaign. These include:
Why not let us have your views? Visit our guestbook page and have your say.
Stamford Bridge is a village of over 3,400 people located seven miles east of York. Originally settled by the Romans, it is most famous for the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066, which heralded the end of the Viking age in England. The River Derwent divides the village and has flooded the village on a number of occasions. Significant flood prevention work has taken place in the past few years. The bridge dates from 1727, and is a grade 2 listed structure,which is heavily used by traffic on the A166 road.
Development has started on the site of our proposed Pocklington station. Short sighted and a step back for the campaign.
A few of the new life membership forms have gone out in bigger envelopes than the stamp we put on them. Apologies for those who have had an extra £1.20 to pay.
The Membership Secretary will be resigning from that post at the AGM in March. If you feel you could spare us half a day per month please get in touch.
Annual membership has been set at £5 for many years and with increasing prices we need to put that up. The next AGM will vote on a proposal to do this. Feel free to suggest any changes. Our suggestion is:
Annual Membership - £10
Two year - £17.50
Life - £50
Having just established relations with James Alexander, the leader of City of York Council we have learned he has resigned and will be working on Ed Milliband's team from 2015. Thnaks for the support James and we hope your career move is everything you want (noting we are an apoltical organisation).

Original post made by GoogleWatch, News on Mountain View's largest employer, on Nov 17, 2009
The event was held in Mountain View's [Web Link "Hacker Dojo,"] a former warehouse at 140 Whisman Ave. turned into a sort of community center for computer programmers.
According to [Web Link CNET's coverage of the event,] several mobile phone applications were presented, and a top prize was given to NASA Ames engineers who came up with a simple mobile phone program that allows people to quickly send an "I'm OK" message to a preset contact when phone lines are jammed in a disaster.
Microsoft, yahoo, Google, NASA and the World Bank are among the founding sponsors of "Random Hacks of Kindness," which will have another event in Washington D.C. early next year. "Our hope is that this software will address some of the serious challenges facing the disaster response community and evolve in response to their needs," the ROHK [Web Link Web site] says.
