Black or brown everyday handbag?

I usually wear black ballet flats most days but I am in love with a brown handbag. I know the black handbag would be better, but the brown bag is delish and is begging me to buy it.
Does it really matter these days?
Posted 14 January 2013 - 08:43 PM
I think brown bags go ok with black outfits and are better than black bags with brown outfits, so I would probably choose a brown bag. I also don't think it really matters what colour your bag/shoes is. You get to carry a handbag instead of a gigantic food-stained sack full of crap, you're doing better than me ....
Posted 14 January 2013 - 08:46 PM
My current handbag is bright orange.
I say go with the brown if it makes you happy, don't worry about it matching.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 08:48 PM
Get the brown bag...
and some brown flats.
Alternatively put a black bow on the brown bag on your black shoe day.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 08:52 PM
I would get the brown handbag if it's the one you love.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 08:56 PM
Mine's purple.
Get the sexy brown one. Go on.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 08:57 PM
Always choose red
Posted 14 January 2013 - 09:00 PM
I would always pick black over brown if I was only getting one but if you haven't got a black one picked out just get the brown one.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 09:01 PM
My current everyday bag is a rust/orange colour. Go for the brown one, black bags are so boring, especially over the warm months.
Posted 18 January 2013 - 11:13 AM
I've got a dark brown handbag at the moment, but I also have about 10 others that I switch around lol.
Posted 18 January 2013 - 11:17 AM
I would go the brown bag
My current handbag is green. Work briefcase bag is bright red.
Posted 18 January 2013 - 11:30 AM
Mine is Coral colour at the moment. Go brown if you love it. A brown hangbag does go with a black outfit.
Posted 19 January 2013 - 07:09 AM
I would get the one you love otherwise you will always be thinking about how much you liked it when you carry the black one you got in its place.
I never match shoes to bag and I don't see many who do anymore. As long as it doesn't completely clash with what I have on Id use whatever bag I liked and suited the purpose.
Posted 19 January 2013 - 07:29 AM
My current handbag is orange, pink and green! I own no shoes in any of those colours (alas!)
Get the brown one.
Posted 19 January 2013 - 07:31 AM
I'd go brown. And most importantly - where's the link
Posted 19 January 2013 - 07:34 AM
My bag is brown, I don't care about matching it.
Posted 19 January 2013 - 10:33 AM
I have a strong dislike towards black bags, so I'd go brown.
Also, pics please
Posted 19 January 2013 - 10:35 AM
My every handbag is also orange (with black and white trim) at the moment. I usually go with brown or black, but saw this bag and loved it, so I got that one. I have never given a stuff about my handbags matching my shoes or outfit for everyday wear.

Go with the one which you like, forget the whole 'matching' thing.
My fav handbag was bright yellow (sadly its dead now *sniff* and just cannot find one the same shade), then I had a green one, and at the mo I alt between a LV monogram & a red handbag. So clearly I do not match my bags with anything unless its a formal/evening/wedding type thing.
Life is too short to worry about coordinating
Posted 20 January 2013 - 08:14 PM
Thanks for your opinions. I'm still undecided.
Btw, zappos is an awesome online shop to check out handbags. They have a short video about each bag. it is a fantastic way to see the size of each one. I'm on my iPad and haven't worked out how to link to the page, sorry.

Me too! I would go for brown over black any day. Is it light brown? Caramel? Chocolate brown? Love to see pics.
My current bag is pale grey leather, previous was cream leather. Neutral colours that go with almost everything. I never match my bag to my shoes if I can help it, it looks too try-hard IMHO.

I hope the link works.
Maybe not to other people's taste but I love it.

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Yes, even the verso and the preface are inspired in this wonderful memoir by Eggers. His humourous and ironic touch lightens the heartbreaking tragedy that befalls his family but leaves us hopeful for their survival. The deep love that Dave has for his younger brother, Toph, is truly inspirational. It underlines the enduring faith in family that may get knocked around but staggers through to salvation.
How would you cope if you were a young indulgent hipster riddled with nervousness who's forced to witness the slow deaths of both your parents from cancer within weeks of each other and so become the DE facto caregiver to your 8 yr. old brother? Would you write a book in an original, funny and poignant voice about the experience?
Great book by a local author. Amazing story, recommend it to anyone.
I had to read this book for school. While the review that the teacher gave us was all positive, when I started reading it, I was ... underwhelmed, to say the least. The first chapter, nothing happens. The author, at the beginning of the novel, even suggested that some might want to skip to the middle, which is what I did. Then, things began (only a little) to get more interesting, so that was fun, but it still was definitely not a book that is one of those you can't put down. Maybe I'm not analytical enough, but it seems like it's a very simple memoir of the author's childhood, and that is it. Sure, there's lots of humor in it, but not enough to make me want to read it. Flat and simple and plain. As a metaphor, To Kill A Mockingbird is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, while this is half a piece of bread, plain and simple. I rated it 3 stars because while I didn't like it, I did finish it, so it can't be that bad.
I read the reviews and found that this book is proably too esoteric for me.
I love Dave Eggers work but I did not enjoy this collection of short stories at all! That being said, short stories aren't my favorite format. I pushed through to the end hoping I'd 'get it' but I didn't :)
I've read this book several times - I love it, and I don't say that lightly! This book is so different, so unique and thoughtful and outright hilarious, it's impossible to categorize. It might be too much for some readers - but don't let that stop you from giving it a try. I even went out and bought it after the first reading. It's my go-to book for when I need something to read and don't have anything worthwhile on the go at the time.
I still can't believe that such a pompous person even got published! His story is whiny, and really not too original. I give him a "one" for the time it must have taken him to write such drivel. (May 2000)
I am pretty confused about this one. Generally, I feel it was a waste of time. However, I know that some of its imagery will be staying with me. And something made me read it to the end, despite my thinking the whole way through, "This is not an enjoyable book."
This book started off great, but by half way through I really couldn't care less what happened. I grudgingly pushed through to the end and was quite disappointed.

I've been running a shadowcleave of sorts (Rdru/Spriest/UH) for the past couple of nights with varying success (50% win rate) in the 1700-1800mmr bracket and I'm after some other opinions regarding its strength given the current mass of cleaves running around (all of which seem to have a warrior, to the delight of both of my partners). Here's a short list of what I'm feeling thus far:
- Strong aoe dps with spread diseases + dots
- Strong versatility and utility provided by rdruid + spriest
- Not overly CD dependent to force enemy defences
- Strong healer pressure due to VT dispel protection and necrotic stacking
- Solid CC when able to play offensively (low rdruid throughput limits CC opportunities when not able to apply pressure)
- Difficult to apply enough pressure to force melee cleaves into defending (mainly due to the high representation of warriors or DKs in these teams, thus having fear immunity)
- DK feels very trainable against melee cleaves (particularly KFC, TSG and kitty)
- The combination of the above 2 notes in conjunction with high rsham representation means poor druid throughput is exposed even more so, and often against these teams my partners will be killed through treeform (45k regrowth spam apparently makes us immortal?) + nature's vigil + ironbark simply because we lack adequate CC to counter-pressure.
- The setup feels too reliant on spriest offheals and dispels with druids in their current state post 15% pvp healing nerf. Due to this, if my spriest is being tunnelled or locked down the matches become very mana intensive and enemy damage can become unhealable. Similarly, the reliance on spriest healing also often ooms my spriest and requires the use of dispension for mana, making him a great swap target.
- The place of the DK in the setup feels as though it could be filled with a warrior (or rogue in 5.2) and improve the setup. While a DK has high damage output and aoe pressure as unholy, I feel as though they are lacking in solid defence against physical damage, mobility and reliable peels - all of which a warrior brings to the table.
I'm sure there are both more pros and cons, however it's almost 2am and I'm keen for bed by now. Given the above, would anyone consider this setup to be competitive in the current patch? I'd appreciate anyone with an insightful opinion adding their 2 cents worth into this discussion.

Review of Strawberry Stem Remover
This little gadget has a lot of practical uses for its size and description. I have only used it a couple of times thus far, but have found it helpful not just with berries, but also with apples, to remove the stem more easily; and also with olives. Not a bad purchase!I recommend this product.

Sweet Indulgence
I know it's probably self-indulgent, but this little puppy works as advertised to remove strawberry hulls - a paring knife does the job, but this small gimmick makes it quick, clean and fun! I also tried it on a tomato and the results were great - insert it around the stem, give it a twist and - voila!! - out it comes, clean as a whistle. Even my husband was impressed!! I'm seriously considering giving it as a Christmas grab bag gift. [Also would love to see people scratching their heads at the estate sale, after I'm gone, trying to figure out what it is and what it does!! ; ) ]I recommend this product.

Better than sliced bread! Way better.
Once I got the rhythm, I hulled a bowl of berries in record time.
The technique is best when you don't push the stem remover all the way into the berry. Just part way.
That way you don't lose too much fruit with the hull.
Super gadget.I recommend this product.

Find out How To Catch a Catfish There's a really nice guy that likes me. He's told me he likes me, he's told people that he likes me, he does out of the ordinary things because he likes me. I'm flattered, but at the same time, I'm completely uninterested. At first, I thought he was wonderful – I wanted to spend all day and night with him. We shared the same interests especially when it came to fitness and nutrition.
Men Who Wear Wigs
When I was a kid I figured Nature was basically a guy thing, the same way I supposed wearing wigs, for example, was primarily a girl thing. That's probably because when I was growing up it was men who did things like: hunt, spear, shoot, capture and in some cases kill while the females stayed let's say, nearer to the hearth (or shopping mall).
Relationship Sabotage
When you hear sabotage you think of a movie or war. You rarely think that you yourself are the one causing the relationship issues in your dating life. And you don't want to think that the reason you are alone is not because their aren't any good men, but you are alone because of you. I came to this realization a few months back. I am and have been sabotaging my own relationships and in a sense I am sabotaging my own happiness.

Career highlights and awards
Thomas Virgil Stallcup (January 3, 1922 – May 2, 1989) was an American professional baseball shortstop who played in seven Major League seasons from 1947 through 1953. Nicknamed ′′Red′′, the native of Ravensford, Swain County, North Carolina, threw and batted right-handed, stood 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) tall and weighed 185 pounds (84 kg).
Stallcup attended Clemson University. He was originally signed by the Boston Red Sox before World War II, and was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the Rule 5 draft after the 1946 season, when Stallcup batted .304 in the Class B Piedmont League. After his debut with the Reds on April 18, 1947, he was sent to the Jersey City Giants for seasoning, and he responded by hitting .338 with 15 home runs in 76 games. From 1948 to 1951, Stallcup was Cincinnati's starting shortstop, but he never batted higher than .254; he twice hit eight home runs in a season. During the 1951 season, he lost his regular job to 21-year-old Roy McMillan. The following May, he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals, where he ended his MLB career as a utility infielder. Overall, Stallcup batted .241 with 22 home runs in 587 games.
After briefly managing in minor league baseball, Stallcup left the game. He died at age 67 by suicide in Greenville, South Carolina, by shooting himself in the chest.
Cupp is featured in Death in Vegas music video for the song Dirge.[1]

X-Wing or TIE Fighter?
So this is another of those "thread games", one might call them; the premise is simple. I start out asking which is better between two starships- hence, "X-Wing or TIE Fighter?"- and the next poster will give an answer with a valid statement as to why he chose that ship. For example:
"I think the Enterprise is better because (reason goes here)"
Feel free to deviate from this template, as I'm sure you will.
Lastly, the poster must make a new question, like "Y-Wing or TIE Bomber?" for the next to answer, and so forth.
I'll start with the titular "X-Wing or TIE Fighter?"
Have fun, but avoid trolling, please! :D
A skilled pilot could make the TIE's inherent maneuverability work for them and get into the X-wing's kill zone. But, an X-wing is sturdier and has shields so a pilot is more likely to survive, learn, and grow more skillful. Hmm...in general, I'd have to say X-wing due to the survivability, though in my hands a TIE would be better than an X.
Katana or lightsaber.
but lightsaber
talon vs the white star

How long fo you keep a fan going on your indoor seedlings?
Did my FAQs and searches and could find but a hint.
Any experienced grower information would be valued.
I run a fan at slow speed for a couple of hours per day. The temp is kept at about 60-65 degrees. The result has been short, stocky plants that transplant nicely to pots. Other years, I have simply run my hands over the plants a few times a day (like the scent) and had results that were not that much different and saved a bit of energy. Would be interested to hear other opinions.
Thanks for that.
Mine have true leaves and are growing more so I am a bit behind with a fan. For a start I am going to run a fan on them at low from 1pm until 5pm, the warmest part of the day and the time the house temp will likely rise, to help keep them a bit cooler as well as help with their stem strength.
Once the normal daytime temperatures get up to 60 or 65 my greenhouse wants to get too darn hot. So I open my roof
vent and also the door. I place a large box fan in the doorway and cant it from side to side every few hours. It
runs most all day on a low or medium setting.
I also like to shake my trays and run my hands over the plants. I think it helps with stem strength.
I leave the fan on as long as the lights are on. I've only started using a fan in the past year or so for indoor seedlings, but it made sense to me to have both the fan and the lights on the same timer. This works out to be about 16 hours on for both lights and fan.
The results, so far, seem pretty good. Not only are the stems thicker, but they seem a little stockier overall.

ARU backing Deans to deliver
ESPN Staff
December 11, 2012
Robbie has the support of the ARU © PA Photos
Australia head coach Robbie Deans has received the full backing of the Australian Rugby Union despite some vocal discontent with the New Zealander's performance among the media and the fans.
Deans is heading into the final year of his contract with the ARU and has come under pressure this season for the Wallabies' inconsistent displays on the pitch, which has included a 33-6 thumping by France this autumn and a 9-6 defeat to Scotland in June.
However ARU chairman Michael Hawker insists the former All Black retains their confidence ahead of a crucial 2013 season, which includes the visit of the British & Irish Lions for their three-Test tour.
''From the Australian Rugby Union, we're happy with where the Australian team is, Hawker said. ''We'd like to have less injuries and I think if we didn't have as many injuries, we would've been right at the top. Next year is a huge year with the Lions making a once-in-12-year journey down here.
"Having just come from the northern hemisphere, people are hugely excited over there to be here. It always creates a huge wave of anticipation seeing the best of the northern hemisphere come here. We're pretty keen to try and thump them. They're going to be a very competitive side and we're going to be a very competitive side and I think it's going to generate plenty of interest.
''I think the coaches think of every year as make or break … I don't think Robbie takes anything for granted. For us, I think everyone in the Australian public are keen to win all the games and so is Robbie. He'll do all he can. In the board's view, we have every chance in defeating the Lions next year.''
Australia have lost five of their 15 matches this term, averaging just a try a game, and dropped to third in the International Rugby Board rankings behind South Africa. However they finished a largely disappointing and tumultuous season - during which Quade Cooper slammed the "toxic" environment in the Wallaby camp - with narrow victories over Italy, England and Wales.
And Hawker is optimistic there is a lot more to come from Deans' Wallabies, especially when they get the likes of David Pocock, Will Genia, Quade Cooper and James O'Connor back from injury.
''You've got to put the Wallabies' performance in context with how many injuries we've had,'' Hawker said. ''We've had 55 people play for the Wallabies this year which is a pretty poor number of players, so we've had an unusual level of injury rate.
''That's something we're looking at as to why that occurred and how we might be able to do about that. We can actually improve the better player management process between the ARU and the Super Rugby franchises to make sure the player welfare is managed right collectively across those two levels of the game.
''When you've got a team that has playmakers such as [Will] Genia, [James] O'Connor, [Quade] Cooper, [David] Pocock and [Kurtley] Beale, who didn't play the whole year … If you took [Dan] Carter and Richie McCaw out of the New Zealand team, you'd have a different proposition. We had five major playmakers out of our game and we had a pretty good record.''

build in microwave options
tomcarter101February 21, 2012
Hello all,
I'm very partial to the KA wall oven and combi oven unit but up here in Canada, it is only available in 30 inch (I need a 27) and it is just under twice the price as in the US.
So, short of buying across the border (which I may well do) are there other good (and attractive) wall oven/microwave units out there that don't break the bank? (please don't tell me how great gageneau is :-) )
I like the integrated look that the KA has, but I don't really need the fancy combo MW/Oven and its added cost.

Mini-hoophouse .... how well does it insulate...
I built a hoophoue from 1/2 rebar, 10 foot lengths of PVC pipe, and 3.5 mil plastic sheeting.
I was curious as to what kind (if any) impact I am going to have on putting my plants out early.
Currently, my plan in building this was to be able to put onions/greens out in the garden sooner, and to warm up the soil a bit for tomatoes and peppers. Are these reasonable expectations?
You'll heat them up and warm the soil, but you'll get little protection from freezing temperatures without additional insulation. An old sheet will get you maybe 3-5º additional protection. This winter I used heavy row cover and an old flannel sheet set and everything survived perhaps a dozen nights below 0ºF. You'll want to vent if it gets above, say, 55ºF with no clouds. Takes a bit of fiddling, but you'll get it and never go back.
Thanks Dan for the encouraging words!
Here are all my goals (tell me if I'm missing the mark on any, or unaware of other benefits the hoophouse will provide for me):
1) I wanted a bigger cold frame than my small one, built from old wooden pallets.
2) I wanted to warm the soil faster, in an effort to get my tomatoes and peppers in the ground sooner...maybe a full two weeks earlier. (Average last frost date is April 14th...I'm hoping to be able to put the toms and peppers in around April 21st.) So, I'd be hardening them off in the hoophouse during the days from April 14-21. - I'm thinking that the tomato/pepper plants would be fine in the hoophouse, even if air temps drop to the low 40's (for a night or two), IF the soil they are in is warmer than that. Also, I could throw a row cover over them to add a second layer of protection.
3) The hoophouse was constructed very cheaply (as noted above), and the end panels are just 3.5 mil plastic, held in place by large paper clamps. I figure I could just fold down the tops of the sides on sunny days to vent and get some cross ventilation.
4) Onions/greens/cole crops could be transplanted into the hoophouse in the next week or so (currently are hardening off in the hoophouse), as a freeze is not expected in the near future. If an unexpected freeze were to occur, I would still be able to put them under a row cover inside the hoophouse, or even a sheet. (Current lows are expected to range from high 30's up to 50 for the next 10 days).
I have greens under my hoops all winter, ~1 dz below 0ºF nights this season, but my cold frame is much better. The warm soil helps as long as the air is slowed down from leaving under cover. Row covers over the top are best. Make your own clamps with black poly irrigation pipe, same dia as PVC. Cut about 20% of the diameter out lengthwise and push on. Sanding-melting cut ends is even better. All your onions & greens should be fine under there with some protection on coldest nights.
The materials and methods coming out recently for extending the season are a nice little revolution and not too expensive, either. You'll be hoo-oooked!
I have a 10' x 18' cold greenhouse covered in firerglass panels. It is March 16th today and still going below 0 Celsius at night. When can I begin to plant my seeds to grow in there? I have no room in my house. Besides the cats will tramp through seed flats just because they can.
You should see temps spike whenever the sun shines. A good way to test the waters is to sow some spinach, lettuce or radishes - they'll come up when they can. Warm temp plants will need some care, you might have to wait until overnight lows are in the 50's, but the cool weather crops will be ready to rock before then.
Be aware you'll need to vent because plants can take the cool but not the heat.
Thanks. I will be experimenting this year I guess. The greenhouse is already vented at the top as the panels are wavy and don't fit tightly and I will be able to open the doors in the daytime so the air will have flow through. I can also put in a fan if the temps are too high.

Country Music Hall of Famer Carl Smith dies at 82
NASHVILLE — Master honky-tonk stylist Carl Smith, the dashing "Country Gentleman" who was among the most successful Nashville-based artists of the 1950s, died Saturday, Jan. 16, at his home in Franklin. The Country Music Hall of Famer was 82.
"From the minute he came out, I wanted to look like him, tried to comb my hair like him and learned every song he ever recorded," Waylon Jennings once said of Mr. Smith, who retired from music in 1978 and bred champion cutting horses for decades. Many other artists of Mr. Smith's generation spent the 1980s and '90s working on stages. Mr. Smith preferred spending time on his 500-acre Franklin ranch, with his horses, his dogs and, until her death in 2005, his wife, singer Goldie Hill.

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
You can get an Intel Johnstown board (Atom N270 - 1.6ghz) for around $110. RAM will set you back another $20 or so. The Johnstown board is nice in that it has a built-in PSU and just requires an external 12v brick. If you don't have one, that's another $20. For the chassis, it depends on what sort of storage you want to put in it. Anything that'll hold an ITX board will do, though I like the mini-box cases (an M350 will set you back $40 though it requires the use of laptop drives). An M300 is more expensive at $60 but allows the use of a single 3.5" drive so you can recycle a hard drive you already own.
Anyway, I think the best bang for the buck is one of the Intel Mini-ITX boards. They're inexpensive, capable and familiar. Be aware that the older Intel boards (Little Falls, Little Falls 2) have no integrated PSUs so that drives their prices up relative to the Johnstown.
Like, ew and stuff.

All great ideas are controversial, or have been at one time.

All professors are pushed by the students to give higher grades. In order to relax this pressure, many educational institutions (IE being one of them), started using the curve grading system. In curve grading, the performance of all the students in the class is ranked from the highest to the lowest. The real grade, is then a function of this ranking. E.g., the top 5% get an A, the following 10% gets an A-, and so on.
Alas, though, students still want higher grades! And, many professors give in by employing more relaxed evaluation criteria. For instance, if the "real" grade is based on the ranking only, a professor could make every student happier by adopting a generous evaluation scheme, giving to every student a few points more. The ranking would be the same, and so would the real grade, but everyone would have a higher "evaluation", and thus everyone would be happier. Well, they would….NOT.
Recent research* (forthcoming at Human Resource Management) we conducted at IE with the doctoral candidate Jonathan Luffarelli and the marketing professor Dilney Goncalves reveals the opposite. In a competitive setting (such as IE), students care relatively more about how others are doing, rather on how well they, themselves are doing. So, if everyone else gets a high grade, any given student would (by comparison) feel less satisfied with his/her grade, even if that is higher too!
Interestingly, neither students themselves, nor professors predict that this would happen, as they overwhelmingly believe that a higher evaluation would result to higher satisfaction. And even more interestingly, when we experimentally made people pay attention to their own performance, they did exactly as they predicted: They were more satisfied when they received a higher evaluation.
So, if you are a professor, or – more generally- an evaluator, do not be overly generous. It can backfire! And if you are a student, or an employee being evaluated, be careful what you are asking for!
Stay tuned for more research based insights!
