Why are we here? Is there an intelligent force controlling our destiny? How am I connected to others in the grand scheme of things? Rarely does a network TV series ponder such existential issues. But on the Emmy-winning drama Lost, those questions haunt every castaway who survived the crash of Oceanic Air flight 815—not to mention the legion of young fans that tuned in each week before scurrying to share theories about the show's latest developments on social networking sites. Lost ended its six-season run May 23, 2010. But, like its characters, the show lives on in a strange netherworld—that of Hulu and DVD and video-on-demand. Which means for years into the future, new viewers will wrestle with the questions and concepts Lost raises—theories, mythologies and parables told within the confines of this mysterious island populated by polar bears, a freaky smoke monster and a group of people called the Others. The place's peculiar magic undulates, flames and flickers. It makes it possible for the lame to walk, the dead to visit the living and for entire geographic regions to travel through space and time. Lost's ever-changing cadre of characters—Jack, Kate, Locke, Sawyer, Sayid, Jin, Sun and Hurley have remained at the core—forges its way into the future (and the past and a flexible sideways reality), sometimes coming to terms with the pain they brought with them (guilt, sin, unresolved family issues), sometimes succumbing to it. A few find themselves in the midst of an interesting paradox: It can take getting lost to find what you're really looking for.This stuff can be seriously confusing, if you haven't noticed. It's not for either the faint of heart or the sporadic viewer. And while the brain-blowing blending of sci-fi and spirituality keeps fans riveted even after the finale, the theological touchstones often feel off-center. At some junctures, Lost can almost seem like a Christian parable, populated by people of "faith" (who often bear the same names as biblical characters or Christian philosophers) and steeped in ruminations on good and evil, destiny and free will, sin and salvation. At others, we see hints of various isms, from Gnosticism to humanism to occultism, parading underneath a ruined statue that once represented an ancient Egyptian goddess. Episodes have incongruously featured, among other things, depictions of the staunch faith of a martyred African priest and the heretical assertion by one influential character that Jesus' baptism by John was orchestrated to absolve Christ of His "sins." And there's nary a decoder ring in sight to sort it all out.
"The End" Thought the Lost finale might have all the answers you were looking for? Not so much. For some viewers, the only visible light at the end of this tunnel is the one shining through the church door before the credits roll. "The End" is, true to Lost's form, as much about questions as answers—a 150-minute rumination on faith, community, sacrifice, redemption and the nature of reality. The episode is filled with content issues (curse words, fisticuffs, a gory knife wound, a shooting, several passionate smooches) and murky spirituality (a multi-faith "church" of sorts serves as a departure point for what might loosely be described as a free-form "heaven"). That symbolism is decidedly universalist. Other images, including a poignant moment of explicit, substitutionary sacrifice that saves the island, aren't. "I want you to know, Jack, you died for nothing," the evil smoke monster/Locke says. Lost doesn't agree. This finale argues that Jack died for something, after all—something special indeed.
"Happily Ever After" Desmond, kidnapped by his father-in-law, is zapped by a massive electromagnetic device that jolts him into his "flash sideways" storyline. Once there, he's asked to babysit a strung-out bass player named Charlie who tells him, cryptically, that the reality they're in isn't the real one. "I've seen something real," he says. "I've seen the truth." Desmond comes to believe him and begins a quest to meet/reunite with his true love and tell other Oceanic passengers that they're living a lie.Of course, some of his compatriots may prefer their "lie," (as some are, in fact, dead otherwise). Regardless, this episode is short on spiritual themes and long on content: Somebody gets killed by the electro-device (we see the smoking corpse), a car crashes into a river and Desmond beats someone with an IV stand. He and others imbibe liquor (including a 60-year-old scotch) and use words such as "d‑‑n," "b‑‑tards" and the British profanity "bloody." God's name is misused.
"LA X (Parts 1 and 2)" The twist that starts Season 6 (Lost's last go-round) is that everybody's been split into two realities: In one, they land safely in Los Angeles as if nothing ever happened. In the other, they're still on the island, where a showdown is brewing between the Others and those aligned with Locke—or rather, Locke's apparently evil doppelgänger, who reveals himself to be Jacob's longtime (eternal?) adversary and the island's resident smoke monster. It's a complicated thrill ride or mess, depending on your perspective. This season premiere is sprinkled with profanity ("d‑‑n," "b‑‑ch" and "h‑‑‑," for starters) and burdened with nearly continuous bloody violence. Spiritual themes alternately brighten the landscape and muddy it further, touching on Christian ideas while dabbling in occultism. Characters communicate with the dead. Sayid's been raised from the dead in a mysterious temple. And Jacob's directing traffic from beyond the grave. Locke seems positioned as either the island's resident serpent (Satan) or a judgmental, Gnostic-like god. Jacob seems to stand in as a Christ-like figure, even going so far as to allow Ben (at the smoke monster's urging) to kill him without protest.

If you need energy saving blackout draperies or double lined curtains- we can help - just give us a call to discuss window treatment ideas.
Shop HGTV and American Dream Builders designer Monica Pedersen's exclusive collection of fabrics for curtain panels, pillows and more at BestWindowTreatments.com Check back with us often, as we add new home interior and designer window treatments to our shop daily! Your own personal expression is the most important element for any type home decor, and you may find with our thousands of products, it's easy to buy ready-made curtains. But sometimes designing a custom window treatment may be the best option to for your own individual specifications. Either way, computer monitors vary in color, so we recommend taking full advantage of our swatch sample program, where you can buy samples from our store. We have a fully trained staff to help with the process, from measuring questions to installation, we are here to help!
Window shades are experiencing a material revolution. No longer do you have to stick with your grandmother's vinyl fabric. Now you can add texture. Texture makes the window stand out and really "pop". And, with all of the eco-friendly materials: grasses, bamboo, jute, paper - you can feel good about your choices and still bring a natural elegance to your home. We will also be adding more eco-friendly products in many products soon. There literally is no end to the creative solutions that you can design and incorporate into any home decor from country and mountain lodge to high end, exclusive, haute couture.
Remember that glass is a great conductor for hot and cold, so consider desired light filtering and insulation properties when choosing window treatments. (Which can help with the electric bill!) Insulation can be easily achieved by designing in window treatment layers. Design layers usually begin with blinds or window shades. We also recommend lining and interlining on drapery panels for maximum insulation value. Most of our roman shades have the option of lowering the shades from the top - allowing light to come in over the top of the shades, instead of the bottom. This gives more control over light which is especially useful for windows that are facing south where morning and evening light are coming through the window. Insulation properties are increased if curtain panels or drapes are added. Draperies actually decorate the wall, as well. Drapery choices range from custom-made that may take up to 3 weeks for production and ready-made panels that, if in-stock, will ship within 24 hours. For a complete layered look and to block all heat/cold from escaping through the top, add "window toppers". The options here are endless, from swags, cornices, valances, and a large variety of materials from wood to fabric. Roman Shades are many times a complete solution and can be custom or ready-made. Since they are made of soft materials, and allow for light to come in or be blocked - they afford practicality, function and design. Some of our roman shades have a built-in valance. Or traditional wood blinds can be dressed up with new flare with a cornice or swag to add some luxury. Wood cornices are coming back and are a great option for adding a more formal look to a room. And, don't forget decorative hardware. Installing hardware can be tricky, so remember that you can contact us to speak with a certified installer who is a member of the WCAA, (Window Coverings Association of America) and can help with an installation on our products.
Decide on hard or soft window coverings or a combination of both. Hard window treatments are made of hard materials like wood or vinyl. Examples are shades, window blinds and shutters. Soft window treatments are anything made of soft materials such as: sheers, curtains, drapes, swags, valances, and can be roman shades - from flat to hobbled styles.
A combination of both is called a layered treatment and needs special attention for very precise measuring. If you are a "do it yourself" type person, we provide instructions to measure and install our products. You can also browse sites like Hunter Douglas for reference and or find examples on HGTV window treatments section of their site.
Whether you are looking for pre-designed choices with hundreds of fabrics, colors and options to choose from or want to design your own unique, custom window treatments - shop online at BestWindowTreatments.com!

gluten & dairy-free black bean chocolate brownie recipe
gluten-free, dairy-free black bean brownies
Soft brown sugar can be used in place of muscovado if you prefer and remember to make sure your baking powder is gluten-free, as some aren't. I use Whittaker's 50% dark block which is dairy-free.
makes 12.
- 3/4 cup dried black beans, soaked overnight in plenty of cold water (or use 425g can of tinned black beans, rinsed well and drained)
- 3 large free-range eggs
- 5 tablespoons (75ml) virgin coconut oil or a light flavoured olive oil
- 1 cup (200g) muscovado sugar
- 1/2 cup (55g) cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (55g) almond meal (ground almonds)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence
- 1/2 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- 100g (approx 3/4 cup once chopped) dark chocolate, chopped roughly
If using dried beans, drain soaked beans and cover with fresh water. Bring to the boil then reduce and simmer for about 1 hour until very soft, but still holding their shape. Drain and set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 180 C/350 F. Grease a 18x28cm slice tin (rimmed) and line with baking paper.
Tip cooled beans into the bowl of a food processor and blend to form a smooth paste. Add the eggs and oil and pulse to combine. Add sugar, cocoa, almond meal, vanilla and baking powder. Process until smooth and well combined. Add chopped chocolate and pulse to evenly distribute. Spoon mixture into prepared slice tin and smooth the top off with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a inserted skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin. Slice into 12 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days (that's a guess as ours only made it to the second day!). It will firm up and go more fudgey if stored in the fridge.

yum...definitely going to try these, but use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.thankyou!Simone.
ReplyDelete Rach~ I know good ol' Heidi was onto these things way back in 2008!
Hannah~ You know how much I love to share recipes that use strange ingredients! Tofu in cakes and bliss balls, black beans in brownies...
Leigh~ I need to stock up there real soon too!
Simone~ Coconut oil would be wonderful!
Anja~ Thanks :-)
Leonie~ You know, because the beans and almond meal do such a great job of holding things together I wouldn't be surprised if using 2 chia eggs and maybe a little stewed apple (apple sauce) could replace the 3 eggs? If you aren't familiar with chia eggs, to make 1 chia egg mix 1 tablespoon chia seeds with 3 tablespoons water. Set aside for 5 minutes stirring occasionally until thick and jelly-like. 1 chia egg happily replaces 1 regular egg in most baking recipes. Let me know if you try it out and have any luck :-)
Stacy~ Cayenne would be PERFECT!That would totally work :-)Would be slightly different texture to using almond meal, but just as delicious I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteReplies- AnonymousApril 19, 2014 at 9:08 PM
Could you use milled oatmeal instead of almond meal? We have a nut allergy!
Delete I haven't tried that myself, but I don't see why that couldn't work. Let me know if you try and it does! xx
Wow - I am really impressed with your secret ingredient - who would have thought?! In fact, with all those beans in there, this pretty much counts as health food in my opinion! I totally have to try these.
Hope you'll join in with Sweet New Zealand again this month - link-up is now open here http://bit.ly/nScpZE

I made these today and they are delicious!! thank you so much for the recipe =)
ReplyDelete WOW what a great recipe...and so easy! I substituted the vanilla essence for orange essence and grated in some orange rind as well. Yummmm. Next time I make these, I'm going to keep the vanilla essence and add in a large handful of fresh blueberries. I think they will make a lovely summery foil for the richness of the chocolate.

What is the calorie count in these if you make it to your exact recipe?
ReplyDeleteReplies- AnonymousAugust 1, 2012 at 5:32 AM
If you go to MyFitnessPal.com you can enter in recipes and it calculates the calories for you per serving.
They look delicious!! very nice pictures too
But I can't get black beans, would soy beans work the same?- AnonymousAugust 1, 2012 at 5:31 AM
I have a question about the beans: Do you know the exact weight of the amount of beans after they've been soaked? You say to use a 425g can, but I could only find a 540ml can which ends up having only 352g of beans after the liquid is washed out. So do I need 425g of beans? Or was that taking in account of the liquid too? ?_?
ReplyDeleteRepliesThe 425g is the weight of the contents of the can, beans and liquid. So I'm not 100% sure what the weight of the drained beans would be? I used freshly cooked beans and have a vague memory of them being around 1 1/2 cups of cooked beans if that helps?... I don't think it would alter the recipe too much if you had a few extra or less beans.
Delete- AnonymousAugust 4, 2012 at 7:10 AM
Ok, thank you! I made them with the 325g that I had and they turned out fine! Thanks for sharing this recipe--delicious! I also worked it out that the whole recipe has about 2500 calories, or about 220 calories per serving. :)

Thank you so much for your very inspiring blog! I am new to cooking and baking gluten-free, since I tried to find something to bring for a friend who is intolerant. I love that you recipie is quite easy and I know/can get a hold of all the ingedrients, which doesn't so much apply to the other recipies I could find on the net. The brwonies tturned out super! Moist, chocolately, not to sweet - exactly how I like them. And I really can't taste the beans (even though I like them). Stellar! :-D
ReplyDelete I have been making these non-stop since finding your recipe, they're so good! Made a round one as a super-indulgent cake too : ) I added hazelnuts with the chopped chocolate. Amazing thank you! I can't wait to make more off your site xx
ReplyDeleteWOW!! I'm not sure how much of the remaining batter I just licked out of the food processor but its all over my arm =) Just was instructed by my Dr to go gluten and dairy free and I am so glad to find your blog! Thank your friends for me for suggesting it, your a life saver. Spent the first few days depressed that I wouldn't really enjoy food again but I was so wrong. Cheers from New Plymouth
ReplyDeleteHi. Thanks for this recipe. I suspect that this brownie was a key contributor for my husband marrying me. He loves this brownie and thinks it's the best he's ever had. Thanks :)
ReplyDelete- AnonymousAugust 2, 2014 at 11:30 AM
Hi. I really want to make these, but was wondering if/how I could reduce the sugar. Any ideas for me?
ReplyDeleteRepliesHey, I've not tried this recipe before with less sugar but if I was going to, I'd probably substitute some or all of it with either honey or apple puree/sauce, but maybe go for 1/2-3/4 cup instead of the full 1 cup. When removing sugar from a recipe you have to be aware that sugar not only adds sweetness but moisture also. So keep that in mind when doing so xx

I know you can't patent recipes but did petite kitchen steal this one for using in her cookbook?
ReplyDelete I've been making brownies with black beans for awhile, but always from a box. This was my first time doing them homemade. I made a couple of changes (organic whey protein powder in place of the almond meal, carob powder in place of the cocoa powder, and coconut oil in place of vegetable oil) and they turned out amazing!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this! You mentioned freezing cooked beans in bags. I used to do this but I'm trying to stop using plastic around food. I have started canning beans (black, pinto, garbanzo, etc.) It's a little work, but then I have a bunch of ready-to-eat beans which are very inexpensive and not in BPA-lined cans. Even easier--you can freeze cooked beans (or anything I guess) in glass canning jars. It takes more room in the freezer than bags, but there's no plastic to throw away after it has leached chemicals into your food.
Off to the kitchen to make brownies!

It is a sad day for animation and fans of cartoons everywhere. Legendary animation giant Lou Scheimer has passed away. The Emmy and Grammy winning co-founder of Filmation was 85 years old. "Scheimer underwent quadruple bypass surgery and was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Scheimer was still working even as late as the April of 2012, providing consulting work for Gang of Seven Animation".
If you do not recognize the name you will remember the vast body of work he brought to life. Scheimer help create (in one capacity or another) The New Adventures of Superman, Fantastic Voyage, Aquaman, The Batman Superman Hour, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Fat Albert, Star Trek: The Animated Series, Shazam, Space Academy, Tarzan and Flash Gordon, Ghostbusters, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, She-Ra Princess of Power and BraveStarr.
Scheimer also voiced numerous secondary characters including: Orko, King Randor, Trap Jaw, Dumb Donald, Tracy the Gorilla, and Bat-Mite.
Though Lou is no longer with us, his creations will entertain generations for years to come. Mania's prayers and thoughts go out to the Scheimer Family.
Follow Mania on Facebook and Twitter. If work has you blocked out, download our app on iTunes for your iPhone and iPad.
Another sign that your childhood is gone. RIP to a man who made my childhood awesome.
Honestly?...my favorite Filmation cartoon will always be Fat Albert...apparently he mainly only produced the holiday specials, but still bears mentioning. I'm glad he helped make my childhood entertaining.
R.I.P. Mr. Scheimer. I will always remember your work. You were one of the best.
He-Man and Superfriends, etc. were the foundations of my childhood entertainment. For all the campiness or whatever people see today, I still love these old cartoons.
Thanks, Mr. Scheimer for all the fantastic memories. You are greatly missed. RIP

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:St. Elizabeth's, a home for unwed mothers in Habit, Kentucky, usually harbors its residents for only a little while. Not so for Rose Clinton, a beautiful, mysterious woman who comes to the home pregnant but not unwed, and stays. She plans to give up her child, thinking she cannot be the mother it needs. But when Cecilia is born, Rose makes a place for herself and her daughter amid St. Elizabeth's extended family of nuns and an ever-changing collection of pregnant teenage girls. Rose's past won't be kept away, though, even by St. Elizabeth's; she cannot remain untouched by what she has left behind, even as she cannot change who she has become in the leaving.

Amanda Marie Knox, of the U.S., left, and her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, of Italy, outside the rented house where 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher was found dead in Perugia, Italy. Picture is from 2007. / Stefano Medici, AP
ROME (AP) - Amanda Knox on Monday was "very anxious" as Italy's top criminal court was hearing arguments from prosecutors appealing her acquittal in the murder of her roommate, her lawyer said.
"She's carefully paying attention to what will come out," attorney Luciano Ghirga said as he arrived at Italy's Court of Cassation. "This is a fundamental stage. The trial is very complex."
Prosecutors are asking the high court to throw out the acquittals of American Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend in the murder of 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher, and order a new trial.
Knox, now 25, and Raffaele Sollecito were arrested in 2007, shortly after Kercher's body was found in a pool of blood in her bedroom in the rented apartment she shared with Knox and others in the university town of Perugia. Her throat had been slashed.
The two were initially convicted and given long prison sentences: 26 years for Knox, 25 for Sollecito. But in 2011 the appeals court acquitted them, criticizing virtually the entire case mounted by prosecutors in the first trial. The appellate court noted that the murder weapon was never found, said that DNA tests were faulty and added that Knox and Sollecito had no motive to kill Kercher.
After nearly four years behind bars, Knox returned to her hometown of Seattle and Sollecito resumed his computer science studies.
In the second and final level of appeal, prosecutors are now seeking to overturn the acquittals, while defense attorneys say they should stand.
"We're here to defend that sentence," said Sollecito's attorney, Giulia Bongiorno, who called the entire trial "an absurd judicial process."
If the court does order a retrial, Knox would not have to return to Italy, as there is no requirement for defendants to be in court.
Knox and Sollecito have both maintained their innocence, though they said that smoking marijuana the night Kercher was killed had clouded their recollections.
Prosecutors have alleged that Kercher was the victim of a drug-fueled sexual assault.
A young drifter from Ivory Coast, Rudy Guede, was convicted of the slaying in separate proceedings and is serving a 16-year sentence. Kercher's family have resisted theories that Guede acted alone.
The lawyer for the Kercher family, Francesco Maresca, was at the court Monday, as was Sollecito's father.
The court is also hearing Knox's appeal against a slander conviction for having accused a local pub owner of carrying out the killing. The man was held for two weeks based on her allegations, but was then released for lack of evidence.

I would love a SW TV series if Disney has the time, talent (in front and behind cameras), and money to do it. I hope whatever time they set it in they have Jedis. For me, besides the great adventure, aliens, and FX the whole SW universe revolves in some way around the Force.

Website Development
Introduction : Responsibility for page content : Writing for the web
The ATSU website supports the University's academic mission, serves as an information system for the ATSU community, and promotes and strengthens the University and its schools and programs.
Since the launch of the University's original site in 1994, the Internet has become one of the University's most important and widely used tools for communicating with internal and external audiences.
Because the site plays an important role in ATSU's success, and because it is such a valuable and visible medium for conveying the University brand and identity, the University has developed guidelines for writing for the web and strongly encourages page users/developers to follow the Identity Standards & Style Guide. By using a style guide, we help the University create a clear and consistent online identity that complements other branding activities.
Information Technology Services and Communications & Marketing have collaborated to create templates for ATSU web pages that use the elements of ATSU's identity program according to official usage guidelines. Offices or individuals that have access to make changes to the site are strongly encouraged to follow the guidelines set forth in the style guide and graphics standards guide.
Responsibility for page content
C&M and ITS work with assigned contact people who are charged with updating their school and/or departmental web content. Those people have been assigned access keys, which means they are able to make changes directly to the University site through a program called Macromedia® Contribute™.
If no one in your school or department has been assigned a Contribute™ key, please submit to ITS the person's name in your area whom will be given Contribute™ access. Your Contribute™ person will be responsible for updating your area's information. ITS and C&M will provide assistance in using Contribute™ through online instruction, phone, and/or email.
All individuals who wish to make changes to any portion of the ATSU web site must:
- Create pages in accordance with the Identity Standards & Style Guide.
- Observe copyright laws by ensuring that permission is received from copyright holders before including any material created by these copyright holders. Such material includes, but is not limited to, the following: text, photographs, graphics, audio and video clips, and multimedia.
- Consult with Jeremy Andrews or Stephen Emlund in ITS (email@example.com) or Greg Rubenstein in Communications & Marketing (firstname.lastname@example.com) on the creation of new pages and/or ideas for the site..
- Consult with Curt Law on the development of online applications and forms.
- Before a department, office, or school may link its pages to the ATSU web server, it must designate a faculty or staff member who will be responsible for creating and maintaining the information in those pages. In the absence of a faculty or staff contact person, the department or office head will be considered the responsible person. Recognized student organizations must designate an ATSU student who will be responsible for maintaining the content of its pages.
Writing for the web
Following are tips for writing effectively for the web. If you would like additional information and/or training, contact Communications & Marketing.
Remember, be concise! People are impatient! Only 16 percent of web users read copy word-for-word.
- Write in easy-to-scan copy blocks of 50 words or less. Keep each page to three to four chunks per page.
- Make sentences and paragraphs short and avoid as much jargon as possible.
- Motivate a response.
- Write about benefits, not features.
- Use action words, and motivate readers to the next section.
- Identify a replacement contact person when appropriate.
- Less is more! Get your point across quickly and with as little "fluff" language as possible. To help, put yourself in the readers' shoes and ask, "Would I find this relevant or interesting? What does this mean to me? What would I want to know about this subject?"
- Use dot points or lists to keep copy scanable.
- Link to other relevant site content, keeping your links for the end of copy to reduce the number of users "lost" to other sites and to help ensure readers are actually reading your message.
- Use bolded sub-headings to break up the page.
- Make copy friendly and conversational. It's OK to address the reader in second person. "You" is fine.
- Avoid directing readers to "click here."

Goldie Loxxx is a very unique starlet. Jewel studded teeth, a pierced lip and today in her third scene ever she's down for doing the POV blowjob that you want to see! Start off by fingering that warm pink snatch while she giggles, move on to fucking her mouth while she smiles back at you with her bejeweled teeth and then bust out the biggest wave of cum she has ever witnessed as you white-wash her face! She tries to keep most of the cum out of her eyes and looks fantastic as it drips along with her drool down beyond her chin. This girl may be new, but she's likely to last around here for quite a long time to cum!

I am loving the Ferris Flap Pocket Flare in the Loving Cup Wash. I have been guilty of wearing jeggings in boots all fall and winter (eik!) and I am looking forward to getting back into flares. Shake me out of my jeggings! Loving the hippie yet sophisticated vibe these jeans give off.
I'm loving the Ferris Flap Pocket Flare Loving Cup jeans. They are the perfect dark shade and have just the right amount of flare! Plus the the flap pockets would flatter my ba-donk-a-donk. Thanks for the chance!
the flap pocket flare in the holbeach medium blue wash!! a must have in any girl's closet… i am obsessed with the 70's bohemian look, so any jean with a nice ultra flare at the knee makes we weak at the knees for them
You are a babe.

i love the May Five Pocket skinny!!! and you look lovely lady!
I'm thinking about trying to wear some flare jeans. I just never have the courage to. I don't feel like I can pull them off. But they look great here!
Denim resolution: Buy less, but higher quality denim.
My favorite: Signature Bootcut.
Why are you so cute?!
I'm obSESSED with the Ferris Flap Pocket Flare in Loving Cup because it's a refreshing change from all the skinnies and leggings and jeggings and they'll look so dope with the pointy toed pumps that are coming back!!!
i was already falling in love with some black skinny jeans, and then i noticed it was for USA residents only. Serious bbummer.
you look awesome and this is such a nice giveaway!!! i am feeling wide-legged and flare jeans making a comeback. i hope. i've entered on the HUDSON site and your video is too cute.
i was already falling in love with a pair of black skinny jeans, but then i found out it was for USA residents only. Serious bummer
your video is DTF! you are beautiful and eloquent and should post more of you.
Love !!!!!!!
Oh boy here we go. The only problem with wide legged is people will often wear too billowy of shirts and make themselves look boxy and not curvy. Trend or not it should be about dressing your body not dressing for the magazines or the buyers in this case.
oh i entered. yes, yes i did …
Hey Geri – your video is incredible! Really enjoyed it. Thanks.
So Great!You Rock diva !I want a pair!
I like the May Five Pocket Skinny. One of my denim resolutions is to wear a skinny jean for a change. Thanks for the giveaway
tanyainjville at yahoo dot com -
Ferris Flap Pocket in Lovin' Cup because it would look equally good with a shrunken button-up or a white dirndl.
I LOOOOVE the Harper Flap Pocket Wide Leg Jeans. It is on the top of my resolutions list because it is time for change and I need to give my skinnies a break, plus I love all this 70s inspired trends coming back.
Thanks for the fabulous giveaway. You look great on this photo!
Every picture I see of you is like a reinvention of yourself and I can't get enough. Keep it up girl!
You look gorgeous in these pics girl!!! I just entered and tweeted to help get the word out!
you look amazing in the jeans and vid, love!
Hey – anyone know who makes the bracelet in the autumn part of thevideo?
43-44 second mark
these jeans are so chic
It's a toss up between the Milman Embroidered Pocket Flare West Hill Dark Blue and the Flap Pocket Wide Leg Holbeach Medium Blue – holy mother of all that is hippie…70's is on the rise and I could use a pair or two of these to assist in the platform clog craze living in my closet. Oh 70's! It's been too long!
I love the Ferris Flap Pocket Flare in Loving Cup! It's a great wash and I think the style would look amazing with a tucked in button up and heels! LOVE
You're a doll in that video!
kissing ass for free stuff? no thanks loser.
I'm a sucker for the cargo skinny jeans. They're feminine yet have an edge and can be dressed up or down. The high waisted are pretty amazing too. Love that they're in style this season. Cheers!
I think my next pair would be the flap pocket flare (holbeach medium blue) because of their throwback 70's style and wash which is huge for the spring season! Also, extremely figure flattering.
PS: loved your vid!
prettyinplatforms.blogspot.com -
My favorite is the "five pocket button skinny" in black!!
Hudson jeans in general are a style resolution for 2011 because I am in the process of losing a lot of weight and I am going to pick out a pair for a reward when I reach my goal weight!

May Five Pocket Skinny Yesterday is such a versatile go to pair of jeans. It's totally a piece you can work with and dress up and down. But i am for sure swooning over the cargos because i haven't seen them in black and i think they are wicked.

Since I can't win, I'd like to vote for the lady who talked about her ba-donka-donk.
Your are absolutely GORGEOUS. love the jeans too!
i am all about the flared leg denim!
Definitely Harper Flap Pocket Wide Leg. I had wide leg jeans and people always told me how fabulous they were. I can't find any jeans to replace them with for the life of me. They were different, comfortable and went with everything. Wide leg looks great with heels too. I like darker washes on jeans at the moment and black is a classic you can't go wrong with.
We don't see you enough on the blog!
My fave:
Ferris Flap Pocket Flare

i love the ferris flap pocket flare? why? i just realized the other day that my body type is for flared pants not jeans so i would love to win this to start a new denim wardrobe!
YOU ARE SO PRETTY!!! Ever since i followed you (ca. 2 months) I've never seen a post with you in it. You are so so gorgeous! Anyway: I love the pants you are wearing and the kai cargo skinny pull ons (black).
Cute video.
Love Lois -
Love the jeans, they look fantastic! I am so excited to wear them in spring with a loose floral blouse.
I'm a fan of bootcut jeans because they balance out my figure so of course I'm loving Hudson's signature bootcut in steel blue Memory Motel wash. The color and cut are a perfect fit for me because it helps slim and elongate my post baby figure and it's flattering dressed up for a night out or dressed down in a comfy tee or sweater. The options and choices are many which makes it one of my fave top picks for 2011. It's what every hot Mama needs in her closet.
You are stunning! Why doesn't a gorgeous girl like you outfit post all the time? I guess it's cool that you don't…
This is an amazing giveaway! I love the Ferris Flap Pocket Flares. And since one of my resolutions is to dress better for the body type, the flare will do wonders for my thighs and waist!
I have been looking all morning for wide leg jeans and I am obsessed with Hudson jeans!
I love the Ferris Flat pocket flare! I'm definitely into all the wide leg and flare jeans this season. I'm not completely giving up on skinny jeans, but I'm going to mix it up more this year.
may in yesterday for me :))

May in Cheshire and/or Midnight Rambler
The Paisley in Dark Olive for Lazy Sundays. -
The Ferris Flap Pocket Flare in Loving Cup is so flattering and sexy! It's definitely on trend with the 70s revival but at the same time, it's a classic cut. Saucy!
A must have indeed!
I love this look. Haven't really followed Hudson jeans for a while but it looks like they are getting back in the denim game. Yay Hudson
http://hautetherapy.com -
Wow you have great style..
Loved the video! I will definitely be going high-waisted and flared this year. The wider the better! I will be rockin them in both the deep denim wash and light faded hues a la Kate Moss.
love your blog! following
Hi! I'm John. You look fantastic here! I randomly came across your blog here from Bloglovin', and this look is FANTASTIC!
definitely the Milman Embroidered Pocket Flare in West Hill Dark Blue.
because they remind me of my middle & high school years. all that is missing is a ratty Nirvana t-shirt & plastic baby-barrettes.
my HUDSON denim resolution is to own/rock the FERRIS FLAP POCKET FLARE like the 70's glam girl I was meant to be i would pair these with a buttoned to there gold lame blouse, platttttforms, tons of bangles, and face-hiding sunglasses! all while singing stevie nicks at the top of my little lungs!
LOVE this giveaway!

I completely agree with you, i really die for the Miman Embroidered Pocket Flare West Hill and the Kai Cargo in black!!
You look really great in both of them!!
Thanx a lot for the giveaway!! -
You look stunning!!!! I just tried to enter, but when I clicked submit nothing happened. I wonder why? Help. I saved my entry so I can do it again once it works…
WOW! Amazing giveaway. My fave pair on their site is Carly Flap Pocket Straight Leg in the Memory Motel wash. Sexy, and I love that back pocket!
fashionkitten03 (at) hotmail (dot) com
You look amazing in wide leg jeans! I wish did as well
I would love the Collin Signature Skinny Jeans in black…they are the perfect reminder of my resolution to be even more fit after I have a baby (in June) than before I got pregnant!
I usually know 7 for All Mankind for making some of the hottest flared and/or bootcut jeans for females, but HUDSON makes many lovely flared jeans. These Milman Embroidered Pocket jeans are absolutely gorgeous. Those jeans paired with the rest of this look is nothing short of spectacular.
Beth Baby Boot, all you need is love. I am a serious fanatic of denim, usually skinnies, but I think these would look awesome with a gorg pair of wellies and a little crop silk shirt. Yes puh-lease!!
I love the Ferris Flap Pocket Flare Loving Cup–I think a bit of flare balances out my bottom! Also I love the color of these.
Amazing jeans — Flap Pocket Wide Leg
Holbeach! This is my perfect boho chic jeans!! -
Gutted i can't enter the competition, i had my full entry ready! –
Skinny has been over played! It's time for a change and give your body some breathing space. For this reason I have been experimenting with the chino, and have started an addiction (I have every shade!) but still can't find it in me to dismiss denim completely! So all things considered, I'm favoring the Ferris Flap Pocket Flare, Loving Cup. I think the flare will compliment my petite figure and give me the starting point to delve into the 70's influence in fashion, Chloé style!
Help! I have been feverishly searching for a pair of flare/ bell bottom jeans, prob is I'm short, so I need a petite pair, otherwise I fear if I buy reg length and get hemmed they will turn into bootcut! If youmor anyone knows of a great pair, or has had success shortening reg size please let me know!
-abby -
LOVE the Farris flare! Yummy!!
i'm loving the Milman Five Pocket Flare in Ashes To Ashes. yay for flare jeans coming back!
cute and little
enter my giveaway! -
Amazing look on you! Love wide leg denim!
I'd love to win the Midrise Signature Bootcut in St. Martin's Dark Blue:
http://www.hudsonjeans.com/Signature_Bootcut_Mid_Rise_/pd/np/1025/p/1054.htmlThe dark color would go well with my skin and the jeans just look gorgeous.
My denim resolution isn't about jeans – it's about jackets. I have actually never worn a denim jacket, and I have really wanted to for awhile now. So I resolve to have worn a denim jacket by February 20th!
Thanks for the great giveaway, the Hudson jeans are fantastic,
nafairbank (at) gmail (dot) com -
A throwback to the hay days of the 1970's where rock and roll reigned supreme, the Milman Five Pocket Flare in Ashes to Ashes evokes understated glamour with its classic, seamless cut and rebellious hip hugging fit. Throw them on with an old band tee, leather jacket, and dozens of clunky rinks for a risky Runaways rocker look, or style them with a girly flirty free flowing blouse and flatforms for a more Joni Mitchell esque look.
Either way, these versatile flares make me want to throw out my unflattering skinnies and resolve to don this eye-catching look!

Hi all,
I have been reading different forums and I have been doing my research on the net for a best processor/MoBo/RAm combination.
My requirement is not for gaming. But for running SAP Application. It demands high resources.
I came to know that there are 2 options for a Desktop.
AMD 1090T with Asus 880 MoBo
2nd Gen. Intel i5 2500 with Intel 67BL Processor.
But i5 is beating Phenom II 1090T in many aspects.
So I prefer i5 to 1090t.
But is there a good combination MotherBoard for 2nd Generation Intel i5 2500 Processor. Which processor is the best one?
Also what is the best cabinet and cooling system for this Desktop.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

London to Dublin.
23 June 2005
London to Dublin.
Leaving the London hotel was a bit of a shock as we have been nicely tucked up there for a week or so now. Its a famous old establishment, globally famed for its formality and level of service, but has recently been bought by a chain which, frankly, has not been a good thing as far as we could see. Its also frightfully expensive. I am sure we got a deal on the rooms, but of course the incidental charges are stellar. Frances, our publicist, was howling in stunned disbelief at having amassed an incidentals bill of over a thousand pounds, including a charge of £110 for sending one fax. It was 44 pages, but even so - it was being transmitted to another hotel less than a mile away. It would have been far cheaper to send it by bike. In fact, it would have been cheaper to purchase a bike, ride round there in person then just throw the bike into the Thames afterwards. Vertigo Air took us to Dublin, though for some reason we left at the crack of dawn, which was highly un-rock and roll. On arrival at the hotel in Dublin the reason for our early departure became clear. We needed to get here to allow plenty of time to sit in the lobby till our rooms were ready. Zzzz
I went to the venue around 6pm to find that due to the nature of the building and not being allowed to build on the pitch, the stage is a full three feet higher than normal. For similar reasons the follow spot / camera towers are way further from the stage than normal, so its a bit funky all round. On the upside though, the stadium is brand new and spectacularly good as a venue. There will be 82,000 punters jammed in here three nights over and the whole city is clearly well up for a party, so these details I am sure will sink into insignificance come show time.Another thing I have my eye on tomorrow is a rumour of a protest by local residents. There are houses right next to the stadium, I mean literally on the other side of the very narrow street, so to keep them sweet the GAA (the Gaelic football people who own the venue) apparently promised them 3,000 free tickets. This hasnt happened, I am told (and its absolutely nothing to do with U2, I hasten to add), so word is that the local residents are planning a block the streets and stage a demonstration 'using children' (as what, we wonder? Projectiles? Placards? Riot shields?). Again, Im sure itll blow over, but itll give the local papers something to print.Morale was really good amongst the crew despite the occasional drizzle drifting in, and I didnt stay too long at the venue, having clearly outlived my usefulness. Early night.

A defiant Sandusky gave a rambling statement in which he denied the allegations and talked about his life in prison and the pain of being away from his family. / Patrick Smith, Getty Images
BELLEFONTE, PA. - Jerry Sandusky officially begins the first day of the rest of his life in prison today, barring a successful appeal. But the 30-year minimum sentence imposed by Judge John Cleland on the former Penn State assistant football coach does not end a legal crisis that continues to grip Penn State University.
In less than three months, a criminal trial is set to open in Harrisburg, where Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley and retired vice president Gary Schultz are charged with lying to the grand jury that investigated the former coach's crimes.
Many of Sandusky's victims have either filed or are poised to press lawsuits against the university, alleging the school allowed Sandusky to lure many of them to the campus where many of the assaults occurred. This month, the victim who triggered the investigation against Sandusky - designated by the state grand jury as "Victim 1" - is scheduled to publish a book outlining his experiences.
In a separate lawsuit, former Penn State assistant coach Michael McQueary seeks at least $4 million, alleging that the school fired him because of his cooperation in the cases against Sandusky, Curley and Schultz.
Shortly after Sandusky's sentencing, Pennsylvania prosecutor Joseph McGettigan said the state's broad criminal investigation was continuing, while federal authorities pursue a separate inquiry.
"I think we are a long way from reaching closure," said John Nichols, a former Penn State Faculty Senate chairman. "We all wish we had done more â?¦ I'm among those who do not believe that what Sandusky did and the way the university responded or failed to respond is the sign of a cultural sickness in the community. I think there is a public perception of that; we have not gotten over that hurdle yet. We may never."
Once Sandusky is in prison, Duquesne University law professor Wes Oliver said, the focus of the scandal should shift from the courtroom to the boardroom and settlement discussions.
"It is to Penn State's advantage to settle this quickly," Oliver said. "Everyday that it doesn't is a day that it stays in the news cycle."
Drexel University law professor Barry Furrow said that if the university does not agree to a mass settlement, it could take two years to "chew through" the civil litigation.
Ben Andreozzi, a Harrisburg lawyer who represents Victim 4, said, "This is not just about writing a check. It's about acknowledging that they did wrong and doing something about it."

"Poor narration ruins yet another good read"
The content in Thanks for the Feedback is useful, insightful, applicable, and valuable, and the authors write with credibility and humor. However, as with their previous book, Difficult Conversations, the content is rendered difficult to understand and therefore almost inaccessible due to poor narration (Douglas, sorry to give you this evaluative feedback: you mumble and your delivery is stilted; Sheila, your narration is somewhat better; at least you're easier to understand, if a little sing-song-y in places) and poor production (vocal pitch and modulation drop off to the point that it's impossible to hear the end of many sentences - where is the vocal coach?).
If this is ever re-recorded and re-released, I'd consider keeping it as a reference. Without a wholesale revision it's a slog to get through the first time, let alone experiencing it a second time.
Authors, if you're not trained in narration, please get someone else to read your work for you so your work presented in the best possible manner. Your audience will thank you for putting aside any ego attachment you may have in favor of accessibility.
"Simply Wonderful!"
There are few audiobooks I have enjoyed on all fronts - writing, story, narration - as I have this one. Glorious imagery, a story that grabbed at my heart, and a narrator who perfectly captured the essence of a very compelling main character. Don't be fooled by the first few minutes. It doesn't adequately prepare you for the treat to come!
"Well Researched, Well Done"
Peter Carlin gives us a rare and nuanced glimpse into the inner workings of one of the most prolific musical icons of our age. Bruce Springsteen is much more than his music. Sometimes he's a flaming asshole, imperious, willful and demanding. At other times, he demonstrates a tenderness, deep understanding and forgiveness of his fellow humans' flaws. Bobby Cannavale captures Bruce and members of the E Street Band with the inflection that only a native of New Jersey can. Though a bit rambling at times, all in all Bruce is a story well worth a listen.
"King's quintessential Maine, enjoyably quirky"
Wonderful first-person narrative! Sternhagen is stellar as a narrator, and believable as a native with her spot-on Maine accent. King's story and characters pull the reader deep into the quirky culture of a life on a Maine island, its year round residents and summer visitors alike. Dolores' darkness, borne of pain, disappointment and survival finds relief in compassion, redemption and triumph.
"Interesting exploration of language subtleties"
I enjoyed Pennebaker's research and insight into how the "little words" we use, those sly little buggers like articles and pronouns, have such a big impact on the messages we convey and receive, and how we process them primarily through our subconscious mind. The dissection of corporate and political communications he used as examples throughout helped to clarify and reinforce his points.
The narration was a good match for the material. The narrator's pace, diction and inflection complemented the content and gave it life, delivering Pennebaker's subtle humor in just the right manner and reading more like a story than a dry research paper. There were a few areas, such as where he touched upon forensics, that started down the academic path, but for the most part the writing was as entertaining as it was informative and enlightening.
"Well done!"
The talented ensemble cast of narrators brought this well-written piece to life. Stockett is a gifted storyteller. Her characters are worthy of the listener's empathy, disdain and compassion. Great job!
Minnie's account of "the pie" when at last she reveals her dirty secret.
The characters in the story, each with her own distinct personality and quirks, came alive through the narrators' acting ability, giving the characters depth and dimension.
"Another author who shouldn't narrate her own work"
If someone else narrated it, I may have enjoyed it. Otherwise, I can't think of anyone who would enjoy it.
She may be an acclaimed singer (great by some standards, mediocre by others), but that doesn't necessarily qualify her as a good narrator. Her sing-song narration and odd inflection sounded as if she was reading a children's story and the effect was belittling to the listener.
I can only comment on the first few chapters. They held no interest for me.
I wanted to like this book and wanted to know more about the author's career as a singer-songwriter, but slogging through the annoying narration and self-aggrandizing review of her toddler years kept me from getting that far.
"So much potential unfulfilled"
After a slow start the story began to engage my interest, but I have to agree that the ending felt abrupt and left too much of the story unresolved to be satisfying. I thought of numerous other ways Patchett could have ended the story that would have provided the reader/listener a more complete sense of conclusion, and which would have made more sense given the cast of characters.
Hope Davis rendered a serviceable performance, providing enough nuanced character differentiation for the characters to stand on their own.
An overall okay listen, but nothing about the story or the performance was so outstanding as to warrant more than 3 stars IMHO.
"A game of drones"
Not interesting enough to invest the significant amount of time required to listen. Trite phrasing and character development. Probably a better movie where visuals can replace some of the mundane narrative.
Love Tina Fey but was disappointed with this book. Her narration, while expressive and enjoyable, contained so many sotto voce asides where the volume dropped off so much that it was difficult to hear, therefore I frequently missed portions of the material the first time around. I ended up having to skip backward and turn up the volume to hear those parts - very frustrating. Also, based on other reviews I was expecting laugh-out-loud funny, but this didn't deliver. If you like Tina, you'll like this; amusing, but not a "must read."

The Human Rights Act
The Human Rights Act 1998 (also known as the Act or the HRA) came into force in the United Kingdom in October 2000. It is composed of a series of sections that have the effect of codifying the protections in the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law.
All public bodies (such as courts, police, local governments, hospitals, publicly funded schools, and others) and other bodies carrying out public functions have to comply with the Convention rights.
This means, among other things, that individuals can take human rights cases in domestic courts; they no longer have to go to Strasbourg to argue their case in the European Court of Human Rights.
The Act sets out the fundamental rights and freedoms that individuals in the UK have access to. They include:
- Right to life
- Freedom from torture and inhuman or degrading treatment
- Right to liberty and security
- Freedom from slavery and forced labour
- Right to a fair trial
- No punishment without law
- Respect for your private and family life, home and correspondence
- Freedom of thought, belief and religion
- Freedom of expression
- Freedom of assembly and association
- Right to marry and start a family
- Protection from discrimination in respect of these rights and freedoms
- Right to peaceful enjoyment of your property
- Right to education
- Right to participate in free elections
