Nonsuch Mansion is located in Nonsuch Park, less than 30 minutes from Central London by rail or road.
Nonsuch Park
Ewell Road
Surrey SM3 8AL
Tel: 020 8786 8124
Download PDF Directions or find us on Google Maps.
By Road
Coming out of London on the A3, take a left turn at Tolworth Tower onto the A240. Follow this for approximately three miles then take a left at the traffic lights onto the A232 towards Cheam (please ignore the current signs to Nonsuch Park along the A240).
Follow the Ewell Road staying left of the large octagonal church, to just past the David Lloyd gym and Bell Inn where the road bends sharply right. Take the tight left hand turn on this bend just before the war memorial - this brings you into the park via the Cheam Gate entrance.
You are now on Fir Tree Walk from which you should be able to see the mansion turrets. If you cannot see the mansion, it is likely you are at one of the park's other entrances. The archway through to the garden will bring you to the South Porch entrance of the mansion. For those who need to be driven closer to an entrance, continue round the side of the mansion to the North Porch.
By Rail
Nonsuch Mansion is a simple 10 minute walk from Cheam station with trains every 20 minutes from and to Victoria and London Bridge.

Just took a bunch of selfies. Why? Because I hate being photographed by others. And myself, actually. But people have been requesting current pics. So I have taken some. No filter, no touch up, no cropping. Just menaturally.

Re: Obsessed with being lean?
I think that the hardest thing to do when I was desperately trying to loose weight before my first competition was to keep on eating...... I mean it's soooooo easy just to stop eating and then get as skinny as you want (and that's unfortunately what so many women do) but if you want to keep your muscles and a great body, well then you just have to eat all those frequent small meals and this fat so necessairy for your health.
It's difficult to understand, that you need to eat all that before you'll be able to burn and get rid of the last fat....
We women will be women, and we got more fat on our bodies than men. It's a fact, now why are we so obsessed by losing it?
When I look at those tiny skinny models in TV or magazines I REALLY start to appreciate my body with it's nicely shaped curves, but then when I'm next to someone cute, nice and slim, well then I feel all big and buffy with my big thighs and wide shoulders (I must say that I'm taller than everybody here so I'll always be bigger.... [img]/forum/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img] )
You see? I'm proud of myself and my body (and I can jump on stage wearing a G-string without even thinking) but then again never really satisfied. Always another thing to do, another inch to loose (or a biceps to grow!! lol)
I guess it's just stronger than us. Maybe it's just us women....
Les victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
STAY STRONG!!! xxx Nina xxxxx

Robert Sciasci
I can still feel the warmth
as my body rebels and the stakes get higher
maybe then I will have found the meaning of this
I am afraid I am mad with life
with the hunger of life and more life
sometimes I am always in this state
ready to burst
to burst out of the very thing I am
what can this mean?
where will it take my sad wet hands
this wrinkled room set in some other time
in some strange light
these days
the colors washed, filtered,
merge with everything

I have been buliding my collection of Calphalon for a couple of years now.
I love it. This double burner grill is great. Calphalon's non stick surface is the best.
I would and do recommend it to anyone who wants great cookwear.
After watching the people on Food Network use similar grill pans, we decided to get one. Really like it!
Having seen so many recipes made on a stove top grill, I really wanted one. Those in my local stores are cast-iron and really heavy. Because this brand is recommended by America's Test Kitchen, I thought I would give it a try. I am pleased with this purchase and look forward to continuing to use it a lot. Results are very good, still need some practice. Not as heavy as I feared and easy to clean. A little pricier than I had hoped, but I think it will pay for itself in the cooking options it offers.
5 out of 5 stars, based on 16 ratings
93% of reviewers recommend this product
100% say this is a "good value"
This pan is great if you love to grill. Easy, fun, flavorful, healthy, beautiful food every time! Heats evenly with no pesky hot spots to ruin your cooking experience. Another home run for Calphalon!! Great value!!
I like this because it gets really hot on one end and medium hot on the other end. With that type of heat you can control the level of cooking.
The ridges are not very deep or sharp, so you won't get the sear line on meats. However it is great to grill vegys on.
I love this pan. It fits perfect over two burners. Clean up is so easy. Just What I was looking for.
This Nonstick Double Grill Calphalon is the best cooking product I have had. It is best Calphalon.

This year's relatively delayed announcement timeline flies in the face of the "front-loaded" primary schedule that has pushed candidates into the race earlier and earlier. As late as the early 1990s, presidential campaigns weren't formally declared until late in the year before the election. Bill Clinton, for example, didn't announce his candidacy until just a few months before the New Hampshire primary in October of 1991.
Front-loading has permeated every aspect of the presidential calendar. Iowa, which held its caucuses as late as Feb. 20 in 1984, steadily progressed through dates earlier in February and late January culminating in 2008's Jan. 3 caucuses.
Some have said it's time to stop. Both parties are trying to shift the start of the season from early January to February. And the most likely candidates seem to be following their lead. This year, that means that Republican candidates are avoiding a prolonged primary battle that could leave them damaged going into the general election.
But for announcement junkies, there should be little cause for concern. In the new age of presidential politics, each candidate will likely get more than one bite at the announcement apple: after making the virtual declaration, online or on television, each candidate is entitled to an announcement event -- and an announcement tour to early states, as well.
In the meantime, stay tuned.

The Heart Truth Fashion Show: Minka Kelly, Toni Braxton, The Jenners & Co. Storm The Runway
New York Fashion Week kicked off with the always eagerly awaited, celebrity-model filled "The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection" fashion show, held at the Hammerstein Ballroom yesterday. The show was created to raise awareness for women's heart issues and deatures stars walking the runway in red dresses loaned by top designers. This year, we adored Minka Kelly in a graceful, pleated and draped Oscar de la Renta Resort 2013 gown. Kelly Osbourne wore a hot, strapless mermaid fishtail by Zac Posen, while Jamie Chung took on slinky deep cherry sequins from the David Meister Signature collection. Toni Braxton looked sultry in a halter Herve L. Leroux gown, while Gabrielle Douglas looked poised in a Pamella Roland mullet dress. The Jenner family walked the ramp too — Kris, Kendall and Kylie — in bright red Badgley Mischka gowns. We have to say, the girls looks absolutely lovely. Rounding up the ladies is, Roselyn Sanchez who had a blast in Tadashi Shoji as she shimmied down the runway. You can see all the looks in our gallery below. Whose gown is your favorite?

Stilettos, Skin And Snow: Estelle, Paris And Others Shiver For Style At Sundance
While we've spent some time this week admiring the very practical wardrobe choices of the stars at the Sundance Film Festival, we also had a few SMH moments as we flipped through some pics from Park City. Some celebrities refuse to trade in their typical Hollywood red-carpet style for puffy coats and Sorels. Take Estelle, for instance, who was at the festival for the first time.
"It's cold! It's snowy and cold! Why do they do this here?" the British songstress asked VH1 News as we noticed her beautiful, but very delicate, sparkly pumps. "Darling, I have to be fabulous! I don't want duck boots! I have duck boots; I left them home in New York."
But if she comes back again next year, she'll give in. "I will be here in furs, big thick jumpers, boots, and I will not take them off for anybody. Layers are cute."
Check out all the other stars who sacrificed comfort for style, including Paris Hilton, Kate Bosworth, AnnaLynne McCord and more. And you can find the rest of VH1 News' Sundance interviews right here.

Toni Braxton – Yes, Toni Braxton – Is Millions Of Dollars In Debt
Why is Toni Braxton in debt again? This is clearly not a case of once bitten, twice shy for her because she's been in a mess financially for years now. This round has her in the red for an amount that could be anything from $10 million to $50 million. You just read that correctly.
But let's take a look at why and who she owes so much money. The list of creditors waiting for the cash that'll never come are The Four Seasons, Tiffany's, The Westin Hotel, Flamingo Las Vegas and Neiman Marcus, to name just a few. Toni, where did you think the money-you-don't-have was coming from?
Did she really think a swipe of a credit card was it? That bills would magically appear and Toni could walk out dripping in new jewels into fancy hotel suites? It's weird that she doesn't know how this money stuff works, considering that she already filed for bankruptcy back in 1998. And if that wasn't enough of a red flag, she was hit up by the IRS this year for a lien worth $396k. It's hard to sympathize when the person in question keeps making the same mistake over and over again. Learn your lesson, Toni!

I have been lucky in my career. I have never dreaded Monday morning, the opposite. I often cannot sleep because too many ideas swirl in my head, they keep me awake.
Along with directing a creative team on a category I loved, stationery & gift, for a brand I was passionately attached to, MARA-MI, I had the freedom to travel the world seeking inspiration. I've shared the edges of some of these travels on BLEU LENS.
This January, after much thought and endless lists, I decided to leap into uncharted waters. I am now a toy maker for THE MANHATTAN TOY COMPANY. New category, fresh faces, a different set of challenges, but I am fully engaged and again, can't wait to get up in the morning.
What better place for a Peter Pan sort-of-grown-up to land!

Four people and three businesses will be honored tonight when the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce holds its 96th annual dinner at 5 p.m. at ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks in the city.
Honored for their hard work, dedication and talent in improving the quality of life in the City of Bethlehem are:
• Tony Hanna of the City of Bethlehem, winner of the Frank L. Marcon Award. In various roles, Hanna oversaw economic development projects in Bethlehem over the last 16 years (straddling the terms of two mayors), including the projects that have been or are scheduled to be built at BethWorks.
• Alan Jennings, executive director of Community Action Committee of the Lehigh Valley, winner of the Priscilla Payne Hurd Award. He has been a voice and advocate for the poor. During his tenure at CACLV, he has started educational programs to assist the poor in starting their own business, obtained façade loans for business and their neighborhoods, addressed quality of life issues in poor neighborhoods and educated the downtrodden to make better decisions that will help them succeed.
• The Honorable Gordon Mowrer, Bethlehem mayor from 1974-1978, winner of the Downtown Visionary Award. His vision and plan of implementation for a historic-looking downtown started the downtown transformation. His advocacy helped to turn Main Street into an attractive, desirable business district with Victorian lamp posts and brick and slate sidewalks.
• Christine Ussler of Artefact, winner of the Downtown Visionary Award. She is being honored for her designs and her work on the facades of the downtown and other sections in the city of Bethlehem – designs that gave the downtown its historic look.
The Bethlehem Chamber also will be honoring three businesses celebrating a milestone anniversary that have made a positive impact on the city and the Lehigh Valley. The Milestone Award recipients are:
• Just Born: The Peep turns 60 years old.
• American Hairlines: Turns 20 years old.
• ArtsQuest: Musikfest turns 30 years old.

GameRanger began in 1999 and supports nearly 700 PC games and just under 200 for Mac. Prior to the news of GameSpy's impending shutdown, which also affects games like Crysis and Crysis 2, the Australia-based company announced that it achieved five million registered PC users in March. GameRanger picked up other games whose servers got the ax, such as 2005's Need for Speed: Most Wanted in August 2011.
Grand Theft Auto 4 and Red Dead Redemption will remain mostly unaffected by the closure of GameSpy's online services, though other Rockstar games will suffer. EA announced last month that it was working to transition its older Battlefield games to its own Origin service.

Dear GOP,
Out here in America, we we've been debating between five options regarding the U.S. debt crisis:
- Large decreases in spending.
- Moderate deceases in spending.
- A budget freeze with no increase or decrease.
- Moderate increases in spending.
- Large increases in spending.
You, on the other hand, have had a debate in Washington which included only the last two options on the list. And since Washington is an echo chamber in which the terms of the debate are initiated by government and reflected back by media, you forgot that any other options even existed. In the end, the reality-distorting effects of the echo chamber won out and we had a national debate about whether we should do the 'responsible' thing and obey 'the adults in room' and raise spending quickly, or should we instead embrace the 'far right' policies of the 'intransigent' economic 'terrorists' and flirt with default. So you chose to split the difference between rapid spending increases and moderate spending increases. You considered nothing resembling a freeze or even, gasp, an actual cut. Instead we got Washington cuts, that is reductions in planned increases.
Investors saw it right away. The Dow sold off badly in response to the deal. Gold went to dizzying new nominal highs, touch 1670 per ounce. The dollar rallied ever so slightly against global currencies, but that of course includes a comparison to the crippled euro. The current haven currencies, like the yen and the franc rallied. The franc hit fresh highs and the yen rallied so much that the bank of Japan intervened this week to weaken it against the dollar.
Remember what the echo chamber said? If you didn't raise the debt ceiling, Asian markets … markets … markets would crash … crash … crash. Well you DID raise the debt ceiling and they crashed anyway.
Remember what the echo chamber said? If you didn't raise the debt ceiling, rating agencies … agencies … agencies would downgrade … downgrade … downgrade. Well you did raise the debt ceiling and Moody's put you on negative watch and S&P is under enormous pressure to downgrade you.
If don't downgrade this month, then brace yourself for Thanksgiving when the 'super congress' finds that it is no wiser than the current 'under congress'. Rating agencies don't matter much anyway,: they have become the captain obvious of the risk management world. They ratify ex post facto realities. Bond spreads have already registered the fact that in the world of developed nation sovereign debt, we are middle of the pack, not riskless Olympian gods.
What did we investors see, which you rulers did not? Quite a bit, actually. But what stands out is this: you traded cash for promises. My good friend, Ron Morris, a highly successful serial entrepreneur whose most recent venture is his own business talk radio network, told me that his first rule of negotiations is to never, ever, ever trade cash for a promise. You either trade promises for promises, or cash for delivery, or if your opponent is patsy enough to go for it, you trade promises for cash. In this case, House GOP, you were the patsy.
You fell for one of the oldest tricks in the budget book. I call it The Roy Rogers – you thought Trigger would save you. But those spending triggers never work. Those Legislator's last name, hyphen, legislator of opposite party's last name bills which promise that if you don't cut by some arbitrary amount, it will trigger some automatic cut of some politically unacceptable amount bills, always fail. Gramm-Rudman-Hollings springs to mind. When you see one of those hyphenated bills, look at the name on the republican side of the hyphen and you know who the pasty is (I'm looking in your direction, McCain-Feingold).
Trigger never saves the day, because no congress has the authority to bind a future one. When it's time for the automatic Armageddon cuts to medicare and military to kick in later this year, congress will simply refuse to do it.

I live in longview mo and fish grand during the summer jug fishing for cats, but i bought a year licence this year and would rather try my luck on grand this spring and summer for crappie and white bass. I would like some info where i culd find them in the spring and summer. Thanks in advance.

Crappie, White Bass

White Bass - Spring River year round. During their run in the spring, just look for the boat parade up from twin bridges. Late summer dog days can be great down around Patricia Island too. Elk River is good too. Has a little later of a run than Spring River does and they will be on the flats below #10 bridge later in the summer. They are also in the Neosho River. All up and down. Honestly, it seems that you can close your eyes and cast and hit a white bass in the nose most of the time on Grand. The lake is loaded with them.
Crappie - of course the easiest time is during the spawn. Pea Gravel banks 1-6' deep adjacent to channel swings on the main lake, coves that the channel goes past the mouth with pea gravel, same depth. Right now they can be deep down on the main lake, but they will start to transition soon.

can anyone give me lure selections on table rock its swimming minnows and rat l traps
Posted 21 February 2014 - 08:44 AM
Hard to give you what would be working in the future- watch for reports closer to the "run". But generally you need to have a variety of colors of swimming minnows- smoke, chartreuse, white and purple are my go to colors. Rattletraps- I really don't use them but I'd say if they rattle they'll catch fish.

Farm Bill: Now What?
Faithful advocacy takes perserverence. Bread for the World members at the June 2013 National Gathering in Washington, D.C. (Joseph Mollieri/Bread for the World)
By Christine Meléndez Ashley
Last Thursday was not a good day. After months of faithful advocacy against deep cuts to SNAP – in district meetings, local media, more than 7,000 emails and hundreds of phone calls to Congress – the House narrowly passed a bill cutting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) by $40 billion. Emotions felt by faithful anti-hunger advocates likely mirrored my own. Defeat. Sorrow. Outrage. A sense of loss and disappointment, along with the question, "Now what?" hanging over my head.
But I woke up Friday morning with Psalm 108 on my heart, a psalm we had read in the office shortly before the vote on Thursday afternoon:
My heart is steadfast, O God! For your steadfast love is great above the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. [Psalm 108:1, 4 ESV]
What originally was a prayer for victory became a prayer of comfort to me. Regardless of the wins or losses on Capitol Hill, we stand steadfast, remembering that God is, God has been, and God will continue to be faithful. We may not have won on this bill, but this isn't the end of the line in our advocacy for a strong SNAP program. With this psalm buoying my spirit, I look forward to the work that needs to be done.
Now that the Senate and the House have each passed a version of the farm bill, it's time for a conference committee to come together and iron out the differences between the policies passed by each chamber. The Senate previously passed a bill with $4 billion in SNAP cuts. Obviously, it will be a tough negotiation to protect SNAP.
The farm bill technically expires on Monday, September 30, but it is almost certain we will not have a final bill by then. Historically, farm bills have been allowed to expire for a couple months before a final bill has been passed. This will likely be the case again this year. SNAP is a unique farm bill program in that it can continue past the September 30 deadline as long as the government is open and functioning. This gives us as advocates the time we need to make sure our message is heard loud, clear, and often: SNAP must be protected in any final farm bill.
As Congress works out the parliamentary and procedural details of how to move forward, we continue to press on in our faithful advocacy. Now is a critical time to let your representatives know you were watching how they voted. Call 1-800-826-3688 and express your thanks or your frustration and outrage at their vote. Our calls today could mean a difference in how representatives vote on SNAP cuts in the future!
The nutrition bill passed but it was a very close vote. Threats to SNAP will continue to come up this fall but victory - protecting SNAP - is within our reach. Stand steadfast and stay tuned for updates from us in the coming weeks.

The Last of Us preview (pictures, hands-on, screens and video)
Naughty Dog, the developer behind PS3 smash hit Uncharted, has shown off the latest game it is working on: The Last of Us.
The game sees you play middle-aged Joel, accompanied by a younger girl Ellie, travelling across America trying to avoid those who are affected by an unknown virus and others who just don't like you.
Following a previous trailer that saw the two being ambushed, Sony and Naughty Dog opted to show actual gameplay to close out the company's E3 press conference in LA.
The trailer sees the lead characters working their way through a building before being discovered. Tussles, heads in desks, and petrol bombs ensue before it ends with a quick shotgun blast to the head to dismiss the final assailant.
We can't tell much from the trailer as to how the game will play out, why the two lead characters are the only ones left, or, as yet, what the aim of the game is.
What we can see is that Naughty Dog has created a much darker experience than the Uncharted series, but one that still borrows heavily from the developer's way of presenting games. Low camera angles, great looking graphics, and a cinematic presentation style mean gamers should be in for a treat when The Last of Us comes out on the PS3.
Sadly, there's no word on when the finished game will be released, although we suspect it will be either late 2012 or early 2013. Fingers crossed.
UPDATE: After the Sony E3 press conference, The Last of Us was one of the games we most wanted to get some one-on-one time with and, although it ended up being one of Naughty Dog's producers that controlled the game, we managed to. It was just us, him and the level we saw on the big screen previously. Intimate.
And although we were viewing the action on a smaller display, it still felt as intense. In fact, even more so considering that the person playing it was trying to describe what he was doing along the way, and once or twice looked in genuine peril.
What is most interesting thing about the sequence we saw (and in the video above) is that this section focused on combat between our main characters and normal, virus-free enemies. The Last of Us is survival horror, no matter whether those who look to do you harm are zombies or recognisably human. If anything, it's these other survivors that are perhaps scarier. They are certainly cleverer.
The thing we got from actually being hand held through the level is that it seems to play similarly to Uncharted - no surprises there - and not on rails as some have speculated.
There's climbing sections and a lot of duck and cover action. However, this time stealth is a better ally than running in guns a-blazing. Partly because you have a little girl to look after, but mainly because you don't have much ammunition if at all.
But the most resonating part of our demo, the part we'll take with us until we get a chance to taste further gameplay sessions, is the same as you can see in the video trailer; the hand-to-hand fight and shotgun moment. There's genuine fear in the enemies eyes, and the result further enforces The Last of Us' mantra of kill or be killed.
Uncharted was a big, boombastic action thriller. From our E3 demo, The Last of Us will be far more somber and memorable, we feel.

Fireworks explode onto the urban streets of D.C. (photos)
- Amateur display at Shepherd St NW and Kansas Avenue (Photo: John Hendel)
Pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists traveling through Washington D.C. may have encountered a particularly freedom-infused obstacle last night: Fourth of July fireworks.
Block after block, District residents lit up fireworks on the sidewalks and street intersections of our city's roads, at least from my vantage point in Petworth. As many people gathered around downtown D.C. to watch official fireworks displays on the National Mall and across the Potomac, I watched dozens of people in the blocks surrounding Georgia Avenue take to the streets quite literally, setting up urban and amateur fireworks displays for hours with no visible police interference.
Several DIY displays were visible not only on sidewalks in the middle of the city but also in the middle of street intersections, such as where Kansas Avenue meets Shepherd Street NW in Petworth, where many of these photos were taken. Sparklers and other fiery, colorful purchases painted the Petworth sky with lights and from all directions — by 9 and 10 o'clock last night, you could hear and see the bright colors everywhere you looked. Smoke filled the air, as did the acrid, strong, and distinct smell that accompanies the celebrations.

These photos don't even come close to illustrating the ambient and utterly free celebrations that emerged onto the Petworth streets last night.
What struck me as I watched these events unfold spontaneously throughout Petworth was how much transportation intersected — often literally — with these public explosives. Men would run out and repeatedly set their purchases on fire in the middle of a big residential intersection of streets, such as at Kansas and Shepherd. Cars, motorcycles, and taxis would occasionally drive through Shepherd, and each time, the men would leap out again to clear the sparklers, bottle rockets, and any other items from the drivers' paths. We already saw how drivers enjoy decorating their cars with kitschy, patriotic reds, whites, and blues on Independence and considered the gridlock difficulties for many commuters, but I never realized how many might have faced fireworks themselves flaring in front of their tires. The drive through these northwest D.C. streets must have been gorgeous as well as potentially scary at times, as green flares would fly haphazardly across the landscape at times. Bicyclists in particular must have had to exercise caution as they passed by dozens of different displays, which tended to crop up every half block or so in the part of Petworth I observed.
Still, the sidewalk sights, crackling for hours, were a pedestrian's dream.

This final firework soared up amid power lines on the sidewalk of Petworth's Shepherd Street. Again, the show was far more riveting than any of these photos suggest, with large showers of light bursting every couple of minutes and often with many visible at the same time. I can see how people and vehicles might be injured in so many moments of celebratory independence (in 2010, around 8,000 injuries resulted from fireworks across America), but what I saw struck me as relatively safe and collected.

Thanks for visiting Cornerstone Cakes... We hope that you find quality unsurpassed, with genuine love baked into every cake you order.
We adopted the term "Cornerstone" from the following Biblical scripture:
Eph 2:19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
All that we do, we do for God's glory! For us, mixing our faith into each cake is a part of business. Even if you don't taste it-- many prayers and praise went into it!

A few weeks ago Edwin (and a few other stormchasers) went windsurfing at Wijk aan Zee during one of the biggest storms this year. Gusts of 60 knots made Edwin's 3.2 sail feel quite big. Surf Magazine in the Netherlands asked a number of sailors to share their impressions of that day and they got collected and published in an article in the latest edition of Surf Magazine. Go get yourself a copy to read the full story (the magazine is in Dutch).
Bart didn't sail that day but spend his time taking pictures which clearly illustrate how extreme conditions were that day. You can find the pictures in our Boardkings album on Facebook.

Weekend Haul: Today, I Discovered Department Stores
You see, my husband and I arrived at the mall at 11 a.m. Much to our dismay, we discovered the stores didn't open until noon. So I got a Gingerbread Latte at Starbucks...and then I saw that Macy's was open.
"Why don't we just go to pass the time and look at stuff," I suggested.
So we walked around the nearly empty department store and that's when it hit me. As we browsed around in the dress section, I saw so many gorgeous dresses- from cocktail dresses to evening gowns to work dresses. I couldn't believe my eyes...and the prices were incredible too. And, unlike Forever 21, the dresses there were actually long enough on me to be work appropriate.
I purchased a gorgeous 3/4 sleeve holiday/work dress by Tiana B. It has this pretty detailing on the sleeves and bottom of the dress. I think it's festive, but not too festive for the office. I also like that I can add a belt or some great accessories to spice it up for the evening. It's a great dress to wear to any evening holiday event. I've been looking for a dress like this for a long time, and am happy to have finally found it!
It actually looks nice and fitted when it's on. I especially love the 3/4 sleeves that hit just below my elbows. It was 25% off too!
I also found some gorgeous work dresses there, but I'm going to hold off for now. It's nice to know I have a go-to place for when I need an appropriate-length work dress. I prefer to wear dresses over anything else, so finding ones that are long enough for my 5'10 frame can be a challenge!
With about 30 minutes left until the mall opened, we headed to JC Penny. I bought an adorable dress from Charlotte Ronson's line (also on sale). It has some pretty beading detail at the neck.
It also plunges into a great ruffle "V" shape in the back.
After my department store shopping success, I headed to Forever 21 to return a belt I had ordered online (the studded "Carrie" belt I talked about a few weeks ago- I ordered it in two sizes because I wasn't sure.) I got this pretty argyle sweater. I love how the sleeves have the block of cream, it really makes the sweater looks polished when it's on. You probably can't tell from the photos, but the cream part is actually a bit metallic/shimmery...very holiday appropriate!
I also got this amazing feathered/bejewled headband! It is so fun and pretty! I even plan to bring it on vacation. I like to wear accessories on the beach. Call me crazy but I think it's fun! I have to pull my hair back somehow, why not pull it back with a pretty headband instead of something plain, right!? I recently saw Brody Jenner's girlfriend Jade wear a prett feathered headband with her bikini, and she rocked it. It gave the look a little something extra!
I also got these pretty animal print-esque metallic bracelets. I think they will look amazing with a nice tan and beach hair. Yes, that's right, I also bought these with our vacation in mind.
My final purchase was this pretty leaf/ruffle top from Charlotte Russe. I saw it displayed in the window under a black blazer and I just couldn't resist. Each ruffle leaf is shimmery and has a sort of polka-dot subtle design on it. Very feminine.
I am loving all of the sparkly, shimmery, party-type clothes that are avaialble in stores during the holidays. The holidays bring so much more embellishments and details to clothes. I love that. I tend to stock up on party dresses during the holidays because they are hard to come by in the summer time, when the focus is on bright, flowy dresses.
What did you buy this weekend? Leave me a comment below! We saw New Moon today, and it was really good. I thought it was a little slow in the beginning, but it really developed the characters a bit more in this movie. I'm going to skip reading the second book and just go right to the third, because now I want to know what happens next! Have you seen New Moon yet? Hope everyone had a great weekend!
6 comments :
Hey Veronika! I thought New Moon was okay. I think its hard to make these books into movies. New Moon was actually my least favorite book and my favorite book was Eclipse, the third one. you'll love the book! I think it also is probably going to be a more entertaining movie.ReplyDelete
Cute stuff, I'd love to see the two dresses on! Especially the first, hard to picture the fit.
I was good this weekend, well, sort of. I bought this dress from Anthro on sale, I'm still trying to decide if I am going to keep it or hold out for another dress I like to go on sale over there.
I love that Ronson dress from JCPenney. I saw it there a couple weeks ago and thought it was so pretty. You'll have to take a pic when u wear it!ReplyDelete
I love the Ronson dress too! I love your style, are you looking for a personal shopper job...b/c Id hire you!ReplyDelete
Love those bracelets from F21! I too am loving all things shimmer.ReplyDelete
I didn't buy any clothes this weekend, but purchased some mosaic/mirrored Christmas trees from Target. They are so pretty!
Gingerbread lattes are another awesome thing about the holidays! Love your purchases.ReplyDelete
Great picks Veronika! I totally agree with the holiday dress shopping...Jacob is having a 50% off sale...and I ended up with 4 dresses. Oooops!!ReplyDelete

The Emotional Side to Low Libido in Mid-Life
Men and women suffer equally from the emotional and relationship affects of low libido. Women who believe men have it easier in this area or that men aren't emotional may be surprised to know my counseling practice has a higher ratio of men who suffer than women. It is clear that when one of the partners isn't happy with their sex life, both partners are negatively affected. This article offers helpful advice to raising emotional low libido. [Read More]
7- Year Itch doesn't have to lead to twelfth year divorce
Experiencing the seven-year itch is not a bad thing, but ignoring it, trying to sweep it under the rug, instead of dealing with it means your marriage has a greater chance of succumbing to the itch. Nothing is more important to your children than seeing their parents deal effectively with stress, conflict and prioritizing their marriage. This article offers excellent advice. [Read More]
Make time to play with your partner
The research has suggested that it is more likely that rather than the couple growing apart, they stopped valuing their playtime together. After all, the only way a relationship continues to grow is when partners spend time together and enjoy being together. You cannot do that if you don't play and have fun together. This article offers helpful advice about how to begin playing together again. [Read More]
Bad Sex Isn't Contagious, But It Can Infect a Marriage
Bad sex can infect a marriage, but only lack of intimacy can kill it. Bad sex happens, sometimes during prolonged illness, arguments, and other challenges we all face in our marriage. If you can touch, talk, and listen, there is nothing you cannot work through with the right support (except abuse). Bad sex happens, but it doesn't happen forever unless you stop the intimacy. Changing a bad sex partner for a good sex partner is an option many people choose in real life, but being a therapist has usually proven to me that you cannot wipe out bad sex by changing partners. After all, when you are in a sexual relationship with a partner you love, you need to know how to use your words and actions for good sex. This article talks about how to prevent bad sex, and how to remedy it when it does happen. [Read More]
Both of Us Are Working, but Are We Having Enough Sex?
In dual income couples, the largest problem is finding the time, and therefore this statistic will most likely increase. If you don't make time for sex and intimacy, or if you don't prioritize your sex life, it will be replaced by other things that need to be done. Those other things may be important, but the intimacy and sexual connection within a relationship is the number two reason for marital discord. Number one is communication. Usually in a failing relationship the communication becomes talk about why we aren't having sex. This article offers suggestions. [Read More]

Failed to promptly notify the Missouri Commissioner of Securities when its agent, Douglas Bagwell, began and terminated his connection with Garrett in violation of § 409.201 (b), RSMo., 2000; and
Failed to reasonably supervise Douglas Bagwell by establishing procedures and a system for applying such procedures that would reasonably be expected to prevent and detect, in so far as practicable, any violations by its agent in violation of § 409.204 (J), RSMo, 2000.
WHEREAS, Respondent and the Securities Division desire to settle the allegations and the matters raised by the staff of the Securities Division relating to said violations.
WHEREAS, Respondent stipulates and agrees to the issuance of this Consent Order without further proceedings in this matter, agreeing to be fully bound by the terms and conditions specified herein and it waives its right to a hearing with respect to this matter and further stipulates and agrees that it waives any right it may have to seek judicial review or otherwise challenge or contest the terms and conditions of this Consent Order.

WHEREAS, Garrett stipulates and agrees that, should the facts contained herein prove to be false or incomplete, the Missouri Division of Securities reserves the right to pursue any and all legal or administrative remedies at its disposal.
WHEREAS, Respondent and the Securities Division stipulate and agree to the following Stipulation of Facts.
Garrett is a Missouri-registered broker-dealer with an address of 380 Lexington Ave., Ste. 2135, New York, NY 10168, (CRD #29931).
Garrett employed an unregistered agent named Douglas Bagwell, ("Bagwell"), CRD #4219659, in Garrett's Springfield, Missouri office from June 26, 2002 to November, 2002.
Garret had a duty to register its agent, Bagwell, under §§ 409.101 to 409.419, RSMo., 2000, as specified in § 409.201 (b), RSMo., 2000.
Garrett had a duty to promptly notify the Missouri Commissioner of Securities when its agent, Bagwell, began and terminated his connection with the firm, or began or terminated those activities which made him an agent of the firm. See § 409.201 (b), RSMo., 2000.

Garrett did not submit to the Central Registration Depository ("CRD") System copies of Forms U4 or U5 nor did Garret register Bagwell as an agent with the State of Missouri, Secretary of State, Securities Division.
Garrett did not notify the Securities Division of Bagwell's termination as an agent with the firm.
During Bagwell's employment with Garrett, he transacted business as an agent for Garrett and opened accounts for seven (7) Missouri residents.
Garrett also assigned Bagwell a "Representative Number" of "SP11". Bagwell used this number to enter trades in the accounts of his Missouri investors, despite his lack of registration.
This Order is in the public interest.
Garrett and the Securities Division stipulate and agree that the Commissioner has jurisdiction over these matters pursuant to the Missouri Securities Act, Chapter 409, RSMo., 2000.
Garrett and the Securities Division stipulate and agree that the Commissioner has authority to enter this Consent Order pursuant to § 409.408 (b), RSMo, 2000, which provides:
[T]he commissioner shall have full power in each case to make such order or orders under this section as he may deem just and he may either prohibit the further sale by such persons of any securities connected with or related to said fraudulent or illegal practices or transaction, or he may fix the terms and conditions on which the sale of such securities may be made . . . and it is hereby made unlawful for any person having been served with any such order, or having knowledge of the issuance of said order, while said order remains in effect, either as originally issued or as modified, to violate any provisions thereof.
WHEREAS, the Commissioner, after consideration of the stipulation of facts set forth above and on the consent of Respondent and the Securities Division, finds the following Order to be in the public interest, necessary for the protection of public investors and consistent with the provisions of Chapter 409, RSMo.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby Ordered that:
Garrett, its agents, employees and servants are prohibited from:
Employing an agent unless the agent is registered under Chapter 409, RSMo., Cum. Supp. 2005, or is otherwise exempt from registration as an agent under § 409.4-402 (b), RSMo., Cum. Supp. 2005.
Failing to promptly and timely notify the Missouri Commissioner of Securities when an agent begins or terminates a connection with the firm in violation of § 409.4-408, RSMo., Cum. Supp. 2005.

Supp. 2005.
Garrett will submit to the Securities Division its supervisory and compliance procedures which will meet or exceed the requirements of Chapter 409, RSMo., Cum. Supp. 2005 and 15 CSR 30-51.171 within two (2) months of the date of this Order. Failure to submit procedures acceptable to the Securities Division will constitute a violation of this Order and subject Garrett to further administrative action pursuant to § 409.4-412 (d) (2), RSMo., Cum. Supp. 2005.
Upon execution of this Order, Garrett will pay a civil penalty of five thousand dollars ($5,000) made payable to "The Missouri Secretary of State" and the Secretary of State shall forward these funds to the State treasury for the benefit of county and township school funds as provided in Article IX, Section 7 of the Constitution of Missouri.

High in dense bamboo
forests in the misty, rainy mountains of
southwestern China lives one of the world's rarest mammals: the
giant panda, also called the panda. Only about 1,000 of these
black-and-white relatives of bears survive in the wild.
Pandas eat almost nothing but bamboo shoots and leaves.
Occasionally they eat other vegetation, fish, or small animals, but
bamboo accounts for 99 percent of their diets. Pandas eat
fast, they eat a lot, and they spend about 12 hours a day doing it.
The reason: They digest only about a fifth of what they eat.
Overall, bamboo is not very nutritious. The shoots and leaves are
the most valuable parts of the plants, so that's what a well-fed
panda concentrates on eating. To stay healthy, they have to eat a
lot—up to 15 percent of their body weight in 12 hours—so they eat
fast. Pandas' molars are very broad and flat. The shape of
these teeth helps the animals crush the bamboo shoots, leaves, and
stems they eat. To get the bamboo to their mouths, they hold the
stems with their front paws, which have enlarged wrist bones that
act as thumbs for gripping. There are many species of
bamboo. Only a few of these grow at the high altitudes where pandas
live today. A panda should have at least two bamboo species where it
lives, or it will starve. Giant pandas used to be able to
move quite easily from one mountaintop to another in search of food.
Now the valleys are mostly inhabited by people. Pandas are shy; they
don't venture into areas where people live. This restricts pandas to
very limited areas. As people continue to farm, log, and develop
land higher and higher up the mountain slopes, the pandas' habitat
continues to shrink.
And sometimes, when all the bamboo in their area
dies off naturally, pandas starve because they're unable to move to
new areas where other bamboo species thrive.
Conservation organizations and Chinese government
officials and scientists continue to work toward resolving the
pandas' isolation problems. Maintaining "bamboo corridors"—strips of
undisturbed land through which pandas can comfortably travel from
mountain to mountain—are one of the many ideas that may help save
the giant panda.
