Designer Jeans reviews
Denim Review: Paige Denim Verdugo Ultra Skinny in Tumble
UPDATE – I know I wrote this denim review at the end of January, quite some time ago, but I wanted to update you guys on these jeans. I've worn them a few times now and they have stretched out a bit, but not loads so that they are saggy and not really wearable. They have kept their shape quite well and are still comfortable.
I find that the tie dye wash is much easier to wear than I thought. It was quite daunting at first as it's so bright, but if you pair them with black or white, it's fine. I actually prefer the second outfit above, to how I wore them the first time below, I think it's more versatile and edgier. It shows the jeans off better, so I definitely think pairing them with black works best for me.
Have any of you braved the bold pattern and bought these jeans? I would be interested to know how you are all wearing them! I love the outfits that Minka Kelly, Olivia Palermo and Heidi Klum put together for them. Especially Olivia's, it was very pretty! Let me know if you have any questions about these jeans actually, I am more than willing to answer them. You can of course read the original review just below.
This weeks review is on a pair of Paige jeans that I picked up at the press day in London late last year. They are the Paige Verdugo Ultra Skinny jeggings in Tumble wash. They have just been released last week on Paige's website, so they are available to buy now. This particular wash is featured a lot in Paige's campaign style photos and I understand why, they are such a statement pair!
The Verdugo cut, like I have mentioned before, is a fantastic jegging. It's really flattering, incredibly skinny and so comfortable! It's everything a jegging should be! These are slightly different to the normal Verdugo's though, they are thicker and they feel more clingy, although I think the tighter clingy feeling is purely because of the thicker denim. These are definitely a lot more sturdy than the normal Verdugo jeggings!
The Tumble wash is really different, every pair is unique, so no two pairs will be the same due to the tie dye process they use. I think that's really cool and it makes the jeans that little bit more special! My pair has a lot more red in it, which is what I prefer because I love red in denim. I never really thought the pairing of red, orange and then purple would go together. Purple and orange have always felt like contrasting colours to me, but it somehow works really well!
One issue I found with these jeans was clothing to pair with them, I went down the neutral route because the jeans are so bold and bright, I didn't want too much of an overpowering outfit and other colours might make the outfit 'too much' so definitely keep everything else neutral. It really makes the jeans stand out and look amazing, but it does limit your other clothing options. Sometimes I don't mind that though, if you have a statement piece, you just have to work with it rather than try to style it too much.
Another point is that I feel like these give the illusion that my legs are bigger than they are from the front, when I am walking or moving it's fine, but stood still, because of the 2 bigger red patches on the front of the thighs, it does create an illusion that my thighs are larger than they usually are. That's just my opinion, I'm not sure how you readers feel about them? Do you think the print here makes my legs bigger? From the other photos I have seen of these jeans on models and online, that isn't the case as the other pairs I've seen don't have the big tie dye patches on the front of the thighs. Since every pair is unique, it's hard to say what illusion each pair will create, that's something I find really intriguing though, the differences in each jean.
I haven't worn these out yet, I have around my home, but not out properly. I absolutely love how fun they are, but they are quite bold. I personally feel like I need to be in a brave mood to make these work. They are definitely going to be eye catchers! I did take my usual size 27 in these and they fit perfectly too, so they are true to size for the Paige Verdugo jeggings. I'm really interested to know your opinion on these though! What do you think of them? I would love to see them on some celebs! Buy these jeans online at PaigeUSA.com for $199.

Denim Review: G-Star 5620 Super Skinny 7/8 Comfort Piedra Denim in Aged
This weeks review is on the G-Star 5620 Super Skinny 7/8 Comfort Piedra Denim jeans in Aged. If you remember my G-Star Spring/Summer 2012 picks post that I did a little while ago, you will remember that these were my favourite pair from the selection. I was very happy when G-Star said they would send them over to review!
It's actually been a while since I reviewed anything from the brand, I think the last pair I did was the Fender in a coated black. So it's a nice change to try the brand out again. One thing I will say about G-Star is that they always get their fits so right! I find their jeans are literally tailored to perfection, but in a different way to most. They seem to use thicker denim, so their jeans are definitely more structured, but at the same time they have the fit down to an art form, so combining the fit with the thicker denim really makes them amazingly fitted. It's nice to wear a pair of jeans that fill so well instead of jeggings. I adore jeggings and live in them most of the time due to the comfort factor, but this particular pair, I'm so happy about wearing.
Originally what drew me to these jeans was the grey wash. I'm a big fan of grey jeans and I don't actually own that many of them unfortunately, but I thought it was very pretty. Grey is one of those jeans washes that either looks really nice, or really bad, I find there is no in between. This pair has fading in all the right areas to make them flattering (specifically around the knees and butt) and it's a grey that has a depth to it. It's not just a flat looking shade. The only parts of the wash I am not fond of are the 2 lighter areas up by the hips at the front. I feel like those throw them off a little bit and make my thighs look larger than they are.
I'm pretty sure you can see from the photos that the jeans are a really good fit though. The inseam is the perfect length and since it has a ankle zipper, that's something that has to be right otherwise the zipper bunches up and looks a bit funny. The back pocket placement is really good, they are so flattering on the butt. They fit me skinny all the way down to the ankles and they have quite a low rise which is something I prefer in my jeans as it's more suited to my shape than higher rises are.
The only issue I found with them was that my knees were a little higher (only a bit) than the moto stitching, they fit in the moto stitched area, but you can see in the photos that it's not quite central, but again this is something that will vary with every person. Since the inseam is the correct length on me, I probably don't have the same thigh to calf ratio as the fit model or since these are called 7/8, they are supposed to be cropped and my legs are not long enough. I prefer them full length though!
Another thing which I was happy about with these jeans was the fact that they are not heavily branded. Usually G-Star are known for having their tags and big patches quite heavily positioned on the jeans, but these are about as minimal as you can get from the brand. I love that about them because I am really not one for over branding. As for sizing, I took a size 27 in these which is my usual size in most brands and they fit fine. The waist area is quite tight and a little stiff, but that's nothing that some wet denim stretching wont fix.
Overall, I really really like these jeans and they would be perfect if I could make those 2 minor adjustments I spoke about. You can buy these jeans online at the G-Star website here for £109, but they don't look like they do on their website, they look like my photos, I think their contrast is heavily done.

Denim Review: Earnest Sewn Harlan Crop Twill jeans in Orange
This weeks review is on a brand that I haven't tried before, Earnest Sewn. I got sent their Harlan Crop Twill jeans in Orange to review and try, so this is my first time ever wearing a pair of Earnest Sewn jeans. As far as denim brands go, it's safe to say I have tried about 90% of them, so it was quite strange that I hadn't taken to putting on a pair of Earnest Sewn's actually, but I do find the brand quite hard to come by over here in the UK, so that might be why.
I took my usual size of 27 in these jeans, but since I hadn't had anything to compare my sizing to before, I think I probably should have taken a 26. The jeans do fit me in the butt area really well, but the waist is a tiny bit loose and I'm sure you can see they are quite loose and baggy in the legs too, especially from mid thigh down. I do think though, this is because of the cut. I do have an issue with having baggy legs in jeans because I do have smaller than average legs, even though the rest of me is in proportion, so it causes an issue sometimes and that's why I usually stick to jeggings or super skinny ankle peg jeans as they are cut skinny the whole way down.
Also, since my legs are quite short, well compared to models anyway, they fit me like skinny jeans more than they do cropped jeans (even though the inseam states 28 inches). They hit at my ankles which is where I like to wear most of my full length jeans. I'm thinking these would fit me a lot nicer if they were cuffed, so next time I wear them I am going to cuff them a couple of times and that should sort out some of the bagginess. The rise on these is a good height too, it's the perfect height for me, but as you can see it is a low rise of around 7 inches.
Three things I love about these jeans though is the wash, the back pocket positioning and shape and also the material. The Orange wash of these jeans is so nice! It's not an intense orange, I would say it's more of a dusty one. It's definitely bright and strong, but it has a dustiness to it which mutes the shade just enough to be really wearable. It's a really nice colour that stands out and makes a statement in an outfit in my opinion.
The back pockets, as you can see, are really flattering. They are positioned pretty much perfectly and the pocket shape is slightly tilted so they make the butt look rounded and nice. I really like the jeans for the back pockets alone! The fabric is a mix of cotton and elastane, but it's a thinner denim and it's very soft and comfortable. I could definitely wear these for a long period of time without feeling uncomfortable, plus they are very breathable so they will make great summer jeans! I also like the fact they have a black print as the waistband patch instead of an actual patch, I think that's a nice touch!
If I could change one thing about these jeans, the only thing it would be is to make them skinnier all the way down so that they fit more like a jegging, but that's just my personal preference. I'm pretty sure they would fit most of you really skinny as they do on the model on the Earnest Sewn website. It's just an issue that crops up a lot with me, and those with smaller legs. Everything else about them is really nice, I can't say I have any other issue with them. How many of you have tried Earnest Sewn? Do you like them? Buy these jeans online at EarnestSewn.com for $188.

Denim Review: Hudson Nico in Cherry
This weeks review is on a pair of Hudson Jeans Nico second skin skinnies in Cherry. I got sent these by the brand for reviewing which I am very grateful for, but I can't say I like them as much as my other Nico's that I have.
The Nico fit is one of their classic super skinny jeggings with a medium to a higher rise and flat back pockets. These don't feature their signature pointed v flap on the back. I already went into detail before about the Hudson Nico (which you can read in this review here) so I wont repeat myself and bore you with that if you are a regular reader. In comparison to the Nico in Chelsea though, these do fit differently. The material is a blend of cotton and something called PES. I'm not exactly 100% sure what PES is, but it's quite scratchy and stiff. I guess you could say it makes the denim feel thinner but stiffer at the same time and the inside of the denim, when it's against your legs, feels quite rough actually. I find this material doesn't make the Nico fit as nicely as it does in regular denim, it's not as slim and fitted or as smooth, in my opinion.
The Cherry wash though is so pretty! It's actually quite similar to my Joe's Jeans in Geranium, but it's got a more dusty and faded appearance, so it's not as intense. It's definitely a nice colour. I myself would have named it something like Watermelon or Strawberry though as it's not as red or dark as cherries, so that might be a little confusing. The Watermelon colour that Hudson have is actually more like a pink colour, I guess that's accurate as well for the shade. But this Cherry wash does literally go with anything, it's not too bright and strong due to the faded dustiness that it has, so it doesn't make you feel too conscious if you are afraid of colour, but at the same time it really brightens up your outfit.
Overall, I can definitely say these are not my favourite Nico's due to the fabric content. My favourites are my Chelsea wash and then followed by the Scarlet Coated Red, so these would definitely not take the top spot unfortunately. I think though, if they made these in their normal classic denim, without the PES, they would be perfect! I would love to own all of the colours then! Hudson have 6 available and they all vary. There is Cherry, Watermelon, Tangerine, Lemon, Berry (mint green) and Lavender. I think the Lavender and Lemon are beautiful colours! Since I do have sensitive skin though, I think a lot of you probably wouldn't notice the fabric content, but for those of you who itch with polyester etc, I think you might notice the PES like I do. Other than all of that, they are very pretty, I'm just a little sad about the cotton blend because they could have been perfect for me! Buy these jeans online at HudsonJeans.com for $154.

Across the Spectrum
- next ›
- 171 of 535
- ‹ previous
There have been several good books for children that feature a child on the autism spectrum. These books are positive and well reviewed, and would be helpful in building understanding for those who might be a little different than us.
Picture Books for Younger Children
I'm Here by Peter Reynolds
A young boy sits apart from a group of others, and we sense his longing, as he whispers, "They are there. I am here." The gap between the boy and the others seems so great. Then the boy makes a paper airplane, that is retrieved and returned to him by a girl with a smile, and the gap becomes much smaller. A story so simple, I wasn't aware of its message until reading a review of it.
Looking After Louis by Lesley Ely and illustrated by Polly Dunbar
When a new boy with autism joins their classroom, the children try to understand his world and to include him in theirs. The story is told from the point of view of the girl who sits next to Louis. Autism is not mentioned in the story, the girl just says that Louis in not quite like the rest of us. Louis repeats what others say, and disrupts recess games and class time. But the children work to include him, and show understanding. There is an end note from a child clinical psychologist, which explains about autism.
Understanding Sam and Asperger Syndrome by Clarabelle van Niekerk and Liezl Venter
A young boy named Sam, has difficulty at school and seems moody at home. When Sam is diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger syndrome, his family and teachers understand him better and learn how to help him succeed. Includes tips for parents, teachers and children on being with children who have Asperger's.
My Brother Charlie by Holly Robinson Peete and Ryan Elizabeth Peete.
Actress Peete writes from her own experience. Her son was diagnosed with autism when he was three years old. She wrote this book with her daughter, the twin of her son RJ. A girl tells what it is like living with her twin brother who has autism, and sometimes finds it hard to communicate with words, but who, in most ways, is just like any other boy. The love and acceptance Callie shows to her brother is inspiring. This would be a good choice to spur discussion with young children.
Novels for Older Readers:
Frustrated at life with an autistic brother, twelve-year-old Catherine longs for a normal existence but her world is further complicated by a friendship with a young paraplegic. She writes rules so her brother will learn to act "normal."
Anything But Typical
Jason, a twelve-year-old autistic boy who wants to become a writer, relates what his life is like as he tries to make sense of his world. He meets a fellow writer online, but has fears when it appears they will be meeting in real life at a conference.
Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko
A twelve-year-old boy named Moose moves to Alcatraz Island in 1935 when guards' families were housed there, and has to contend with his extraordinary new environment in addition to life with his sister, who displays characteristics of autism. Autism was not a condition that was diagnosed during the time this book is set, and the author has created some strong and courageous characters.
Author Bio:
DeAnn O. has been a children's librarian for over 15 years; she is a long time bibliophile, children's advocate, and book reviewer for School Library Journal.

I have a Windows 7 touch screen computer. I noticed that when I have windowed applications which are vertically scrollable, for example Windows Task manager, and I scroll (with touch) to the bottom and try to scroll further, the window moves vertically and then snaps back into place.
I can disable panning using Group Policy and then I can't scroll with touch. I would like to keep scrolling on touch, but disable the moving of the window vertically when I overscroll.
Is there a way to disable this 'over-scroll' behavior in Windows 7?

Good little oven!
This review is from: Waring Pro TCO600 Stainless Steel 1500-Watt Convection Oven
Pros: Analog controls, removable crumb tray, big enough inside for a whole chicken or pizza, reliable, didn't overheat on the outside too much. No poison teflon non-stick coating. Perfect for late night nachos. Made good toast.
Cons: Exterior finish easy to mar with scrub pad. Bottom element will bend/break if you shove the crumb tray back in too roughly and miss the grooves. Timer was a bit on the variable time for short periods like when toasting, but fine for times longer than 10 minutes.
Other Thoughts: Had this oven for over 4 years, worked reliably until my housemate bent the bottom element when shoving the crumb tray in the wrong way. Shopping to replace and would buy again, but might possibly opt for the Waring Pro WTO450 instead to save a bit of counter space. Not sure how well the convection oven aspect worked as I usually didn't use it, and when I did I did not notice a big difference in the end result.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- An aircraft en route from Detroit to Phoenix has made an emergency landing in Colorado Springs after having trouble with one of its engines.
Delta Flight 1921 landed at the Colorado Springs Airport Thursday morning.
The airport said the plane's 225 passengers were evacuated on the plane's emergency slides as a precaution because the Boeing 757 had hot brakes following the landing.
The FAA said a fire was also reported in the plane's main landing gear.
The airport said two passengers suffered minor injuries during the evacuation and were taken to the hospital.
A telephone call to Delta wasn't immediately returned.

Regrets always produce one thing, depression.
A depressing day is a day goes wasted. Just one depressive thought can sap you of strength and motivation for an entire day.
Most of the time, regret is a product of creative thinking and excessive guilt, rather than a godly remorse. As long as we live, we will have setbacks and missed opportunities; and we will make tons of mistakes along the way. If the way you see things are pessimistic- meaning, you only see a glass half-empty instead of half-full- there will be no shortage of reasons for you to regret.
Regrets for the past
13… But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, Philippians 3:13
If you look back in life and regret choosing a certain path, or mourn for missed opportunities, just stop thinking that way the moment you catch yourself doing that!
It's not fair to judge your past self based on the hindsight that you now have.
When you see missed opportunities, it means that you have become more mature, that you have made significant progress in term of insights and competence, and that you are able to achieve much more if you encounter similar situations again.
So the next time you see missed opportunities that you'd failed to see in the past, you should celebrate because it indicates that you have been growing. The more frequent and the sooner you spot missed opportunities that have passed you by, the more it indicates that you are rapidly improving and growing.
A lot of people can't spot a missed opportunity! This is called unconscious incompetence.
Given abundance time, or the ability to travel back in time, anyone can make things perfect. But in reality, time is limited; it is always in the passing mode; you will lose it whether you use it or not.
The optimal way to live is to balance speed and quality; accept imperfection and just go along and improvise. You will make mistakes, but reality is not going to wait for you to correct every single mistake before you deliver- reality has deadlines!
And don't spend time mourning for the past, because while you are doing that, opportunities in the present will elude you too, fast!
In my college years, I developed a habit of regrets. I would often mourn for opportunities I missed, and soon developed stress and worries about the future ones as well. Now that I am more wise, I look back and see that while I had intensive worries and stresses, I often failed to see opportunities that were abundance.
For example, I wasn't good at finding a job in the co-op program (A program that students find a full-time four month job after every four months of study), and I had to quit it. Although I quitted co-op, I still had plenty of time in school that I can start a part-time business- i.e. create my own job- such as blogging! I didn't need to feel bad about my situation.
Remember, there are always opportunities lying around, you just have to train your eyes to see them.
Regrets for sins
10Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 2 Corinthians 7:10
If you're struggling with certain sins in your life, but are otherwise a solid Christian, then you don't need to regret.
How do you define solid? As long as you sincerely repent every time you sin, rely on God and walk with Him every day and hour, and is seeking knowledge of Him and doing what you know is the right thing to do (Deu 29:29), you're solid.
If you keep up this way, in time you will grow out of the sins that you are struggling with, so don't make things worst by regretting.
Regret is rehearsal. By regretting sin, you're rehearsing it in your mind, reinforcing the memory. What you think will become what you are; You will get stuck with the sin you regret.
The Bible makes it clear that no one is exempt from sin, but if you confess your sin, you will receive forgiveness (1 John 1:8-9). True repentance leaves no regret! This is God's promise.
Repent! Regret isn't repentance. Regret only brings negative emotions and thoughts, but don't confuse it with genuine repentance and humility.
What about sins that have major consequences?
Forgiveness doesn't guarantee pardon. Pardon is a remission of the legal consequences of an offense. You can't expect people to forget and treat you the same as before. You will have to live with consequences of sin, in some cases consequences could last for life.
Sins also produce natural consequences, such as damaged health, financial loss, broken relationship, and dishonor.
All sins have consequences, we have to accept them as reminder of our weakness and to humble ourselves before the Lord.
And, who knows? God might just heal you and remove the consequences of sin.
Conclusions: How do you get over regrets?
Here is the list:
- Be successful now: No need for regret or mid-life crisis. You can have success now if you start meditating on God's word and obey, because God had promised that we will prosper if we obey His commands and think about His words day and night. (Psalm 1:2-3, Deuteronomy 28:13, John 15:4-7)
- Let God speaks to you: God is the giver of consolations. If you practice spiritual disciplines such as prayer and solitude, in time you will learn how to pay attention to God's voice, and every time He speaks, He gently reminds and comforts. Although the Lord does rebuke us, He will never do so carelessly like humans do. I tend to have excessive guilt and regrets easily, but instead of forcing myself to be positive, I let God speaks to my heart. Every time I do that, my self-doubts and imaginary guilt will be gone.
- Speed over stall: Most obstacles are psychological rather than real. Regrets breed stalls. You have to realize that it doesn't take really long to really make real progress in anything, be it skills, academics, careers, relationships, or any other achievements. If the matter you worry about is mainly an issue of competence, please understand that competence can be improved very quickly if you just stop stalling and start taking action.
- Forgive yourselves: If you keep beating yourselves up over past sins and the consequences of sins, you haven't forgiven yourselves yet. The Lord make it clear that if you don't others, He will not forgive you (Matthew 18: 21-35). This includes forgiving yourself! If you don't forgive yourself, the Lord won't forgive you!
- Repent and Godly Sorrow: Don't beat yourself up and create worldly sorrow. A Christian is to walk with the Spirit, so he or she should feel guilty only if the Spirit of God rebukes him or her, and bring his or her sins to light. It's easy to become legalistic and perfectionistic.
- Write Journals: You don't know what your thoughts are until you write them down. Memory is unreliable; it is a subjective interpretation of what really happened. And the longer time passed, the more easy it is to twist your memory. To prevent imaginative regret, make journal entry regularly so when you doubt yourself in the future, you can always refer to the journal and check what exactly were going on in the past. This help you sympathize with your past.
- Acceptance: Almost 90%+ of the outcomes in life have occurred because of your choices and character. In the future you are likely to repeat the way you have done things in the past anyway, so don't spend your energy to regret the past, but focus on character growth and learning to make wiser choices now. No matter how imperfect you were, this was you. You have to accept yourself, knowing that you have been trying the best, with the resources and experiences that you had at the times.

This entry is from T. Thanks, T.
Rallies, campaigns and protests fill the air these days. My attention is constantly being hijacked by images of anti- war protesters, political candidates and bumper stickers. People all over the planet pour into the streets with posted signs and symbols of thought, hoping to be heard and equally represented.
Traveling the distance between conflict and resolution is worth the trek. A person's journey from the cradle to the grave should be filled with joyous revelation, not filibustering and legislation. Making ALL people the matter of business forms good legislation. Enacted rules and ordinances must be for the edification of humanity. The institution of laws must encourage the harmony of coexisting. Both the sinners and the saints are subject to the same moon and the same fate. Scorn and religious guilt are not solutions to social discord.
In 1913 a heroic abolitionist and freedom fighter named Harriet Tubman died in Albany, New York. During the same year of 1913, just miles away in Massachusetts, a law was made to prohibit out-of-state interracial couples from being married in Massachusetts. Today in Massachusetts law makers opposing same-sex marriage are relying on that discriminatory law of 1913 in an effort to bar non-residents from marrying in Massachusetts if the marriage violates laws in their home state.
Recalling antiquated laws of discrimination is a horrifying solution. After all, 1913 was not a model year for American justice and civil liberties. Women didn't have the right to vote until 1920 and the terrorism of the Ku Klux Klan did not put America on "high alert."
Legislation without love and revelation is unwise and heartless. The season is ripe for a renaissance. A law without love is like a sparkle with no shine. Blessed are the peace makers. -T

Best done with Vector and a his Supa weapon with maxed out stats. Try to stay in level 1 as long as possible until your supa weapon is ready to use.

The Royal Ballet has wowed audiences in Washington with seven performances of Carlos Acosta's Don Quixote at the Kennedy Center. The production had its US premiere to great acclaim on 9 June, awarded five stars and described as a delight for both young and old.

Artist Annette Buvoli also trained in Washington and enjoyed revisiting old haunts. Read Annette's blog about performing to American audiences.

Thanks @TheRoyalBallet for making the Opera House your home this week. Merde to the rest of the #RoyalBalletUSA tour https://t.co/pBfzJzWvNz — The Kennedy Center (@kencen) June 14, 2015
The Royal Ballet (then Sadler's Wells Ballet) made its first visit to the USA and Canada in 1949, a tour that caused a sensation among American audiences. 'America is a really important place for us', says Royal Ballet Director Kevin O'Hare. 'Historically, it was really where we made our name'. View a selection of archive images from the 1949 and 1953 tour.
The Company last performed in Chicago 37 years ago. They will next perform Don Quixote at the Auditorium Theatre from 18–21 June, the same theatre where Kevin made his final appearance as a dancer with Birmingham Royal Ballet in 2000.
The tour will end in New York, with performances at the David H. Koch Theater (23 June–8 July).
The Royal Opera House would like to thank all tour supporters and Aud Jebsen for her support of the Royal Ballet touring programme.]]>
My second tour as part of The Royal Ballet has brought me back home to the States. Over the course of three weeks, the Company will visit Washington D.C., Chicago and New York, and we're so excited to perform in three different theatres, bringing our wonderful production of Don Quixote, alongside other Royal Ballet classics like Ashton's The Dream and MacMillan's Song of the Earth, to American audiences. I'm originally from Colorado and so, although the East Coast may be many miles from my home, the people, shops and restaurants are all fondly familiar to me.
The first leg of the tour has brought us to USA's capital, Washington D.C. I moved here to train when I was only 14, hoping desperately that I would someday make it as a professional dancer. Coming back as part of The Royal Ballet, and actually performing on stage at the Kennedy Center rather than sitting in the audience, is such a great feeling.
I was really looking forward to seeing the city again and exploring it with new friends, and we had plenty of opportunity to do so on our Company day off on Sunday. We spent the day happily exploring the countless monuments and museums, and were all pleasantly surprised at how spacious and organized the city is. It is very easy to get around, with many quaint shops and proper American-style restaurants. For me it was like coming back to a new city. Needless to say quite a few of us picked up a brilliant shade of red from the hot sunshine!
After a day exploring, we had our first class and stage call on Monday. Everything ran very smoothly and we were all confident and excited for the coming opening night, ready to see how the Americans would respond to our version of this classic ballet. Tuesday night came and Carlos Acosta and Marianela Nuñez were incredible, as always. The audience was also exceptional, and seemed to really love the production. The curtain came down on many smiling faces!
As the week progresses we will continue to perform and explore in this wonderful city. I am so happy to return to this place with this wonderful group of people, and I am so very proud of everything that we have done and have yet to do! The adventure continues.... Next stop, Chicago.

The Royal Ballet (then Sadler's Wells Ballet) made its first visit to the USA and Canada in 1949, with a tour that cemented the global reputation of the Company and made an international star of its prima ballerina Margot Fonteyn. A recent donation to ROH Collections from Richard Dunn, former principal horn of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House on tour, offers a unique insight into life on the road for the Company, both on that first groundbreaking tour and on their third visit to North America in 1953.
The 1949 tour started in New York and visited six other US cities, including Washington D.C. and Chicago, before continuing to Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal. The 1953 tour was even more extensive, taking in 21 cities in the USA and four in Canada. Dunn's collection includes holiday snaps of members of the Company enjoying their time off, visiting Niagara Falls in 1949 and taking a road trip in San Francisco in 1953. There's also a blurry photograph of Fonteyn and Michael Somes waiting backstage during a 1953 performance.

Dunn also donated three souvenir menu cards, saved by Dunn from the Canadian leg of the 1953 tour and offering insights into dancers' tour diets. Brunch with Union Pacific Railroad seems to have been quite a heavy affair, with sautéed calf's liver and thick broiled lamb chop on the menu. Canadian Pacific brunches were less adventurous (and 50¢ cheaper) but the menu warns that 'employees are not permitted to accept or serve orders given verbally'. Dunn recalls one brunch spent with Fonteyn: 'One morning I had breakfast with Margot. We were stopped for water in Canada. She kept raising her cup to her lips then talking some more; finally the train started with a lurch and the coffee went all over her. But she just laughed.'

Already we're into the second week of The Royal Ballet's annual international tour and looking forward to opening the first of our four performances of MacMillan's Romeo and Juliet in Taipei on Friday night. All four performances are already sold out and we'll also be making history being the first company ever to relay ballet live on Big Screens across Taiwan with one performance going to three outdoor venues, one in Taipei near the theatre, one in Jiayi and the other in the south of Taiwan - Pintung - a rural area where many will be having their first taste of ballet. More than 22,000 people are expected to be watching across the country.
Friday's performance in Taipei will come just five days after our final Manon on the Bolshoi stage in Moscow where we were overwhelmed by the support and appreciation of our Russian audiences at the sold out performances. For our dancers, dancing on the huge stage in the recently renovated Bolshoi Theatre, it was a week they will remember for the rest of their lives. There is so much history in that theatre with some of the greats of ballet having commanded the stage, and so much expectation from the knowledgeable audience. And our dancers really gave their all in the two programmes of works by choreographers that have helped to shape us: Frederick Ashton, Kenneth MacMillan, Wayne McGregor and Christopher Wheeldon. There were two performances of the Triple Bill of Rhapsody, Tetractys and DGV: Danse à grande vitesse, followed by four performances of Manon with four different casts, each bringing their own interpretation to the roles.
It's been great to see the reaction of critics and audiences alike to a different style of dance, and Ismene Brown has translated some of the reviews in the Russian press, capturing the impact that the tour has had. While we drown our World Cup sorrows, it's heartening to see British ballet is still on the top of its game on a world stage.
Obviously political events have sparked some discussion about whether The Royal Ballet should have performed in Moscow. Our view is that cultural exchange between artists, and sharing the values and distinctive qualities of our great company with audiences across the world is hugely important, perhaps even more so at a time of political difference. We experienced enormous warmth and positivity from the Russian public and are hugely appreciative of the very warm welcome we received at the Bolshoi Theatre and the Moscow audiences who gave standing ovations after each performance. And we always enjoy having our much valued tour supporters accompanying us on our travels too – a big thank you to them for their wonderful support.
So for us, after Taipei comes Shanghai where we will present Carlos Acosta's production of Don Quixote - on tour for the first time. We then look forward to our summer break before coming back for the start of the new Season in September when we hope to see you in the theatre or through our cinema screenings wherever you are in the world.
The Royal Opera House would like to thank Aud Jebsen for her support of the Royal Ballet touring programme, corporate sponsors Vitol, Coutts and the Tsukanov Family Foundation for their support in Moscow and Alta Advisors in Shanghai, and all tour supporters: Geoffrey & Judith Batchelar, Linda and Tania Bennett, Jill Bowen, Janine Roxborough Bunce, Fiona, Lucinda and Annabel Cruddas, Graham Fletcher, Lady Shauna Gosling, Geoffrey Griffiths, Nigel Grimshaw, David & Diana Pilling, Lady Barbara Pitman, Kristina & Isabella Rogge and Eric Tomsett.]]>
Nothing quite prepared us for the reception Alice's Adventures in Wonderland received over the weekend. The five shows we performed over the weekend were met with rapturous applause and there was a frenzy of people by stage door.
With two shows on each day (including our Friday dress rehearsal), it was a very busy three days. Alice is such a high energy show, and you really have to work hard to balance story-telling with comic timing and parody. Monday, a day off for the Company, was a welcome rest. However, although it was exhausting, there was such a wonderful reception that it was worth every drop of sweat.
Talking of sweat, it's roasting here: as well as the anticipated humidity it's sunny. Talk has moved from sleep to hydration and we are guzzling down isotonic beverages to combat the combination of 35 degree heat and Swan Lake rehearsals. Yesterday we rehearsed Swan Lake, La Valse and Symphony in C at The Tokyo Ballet studios. With the whole Company in full swing (literally), the rehearsal morphed into what felt like 'Bikram Ballet'. Our inner thermostats need to adjust! Today, we are back in the theatre for a stage run through before curtain up on tonight's gala performance.
In between, we've had the chance to explore Tokyo a bit. For our day off on Monday, a small group of us went for a tea ceremony at Happon-En. It is an incredibly peaceful and beautiful place, and it was a real treat to escape the searing heat at midday. It makes sense how popular classical ballet is here as there is such an awareness of courtesy, refinement, manners and historical reference. It's a lovely atmosphere.
However, there is no time to wilt in the heat or immerse ourselves in Tokyo's shopping as we still have work to do! We have set the bar high after the reception that Alice received, and we know this Gala and the following performances of Swan Lake have to be up there. Our changing room has now been emptied of the flower costumes, caterpillars and cats, and is now a mix of swans, tutus and colourful La Valse frocks.
Here we go, on with the Gala show!

Method of Administration of Bhallatak Rasayan:
- Is done in the month of Sahas or Agrahayana (November-December) or Sahasya, i.e Pushya (December-January),
- It is administered to a patient after his body has been smeared with the cooling, unctuous and sweet herbs. (This is because, Bhallataka is very hot in nature and may cause excessive burning sensatiuon in the patient).
- In the beginning, 10 fruits of Bhallataka should be well boiled in 8 parts of water.
- After boiling, when 1/8th of water remains, it is filtered, added with milk and given to the patient after his mouth has been smeared with ghee.
- Ten fruits should be added every day by one fruit till the number becomes thirty and thereafter, it should be decreased by one fruit per day till it reaches the original number – ten.
- It should not be further increased because thirty fruits of Bhallataka is the maximum dose.
- Following this procedure, one thousand Bhallatakas can be administered.
- After digestion, the person should take the rice of Shali or Shashtika along with milk and ghee.
- After administration for a few days, the person should take milk only twice per day. (Milk acts as coolant and will take away hot effects of Bhallatak).
By the use of this recipe, one lives for one hundred years and gains such other excellent results as are described in paragraph 4, 5 and 6 above.[13]

Don't play his game! Think about it do you really want someone in your life or your child's life that only wants to be there if you do x,y,z for him. What if your child was already born would he expect you to wake, the baby up put the baby in the car, go get him, take him where he needs to go, then bring the baby back home, and do what you have to do. That doesn't even make sense. Its hard I know, I've been where you are but you have to make a choice and you need to be honest with him about what you want and what needs to happen. If he decides he doesn't want to deal with you, then oh well your better off without him. You have to be firm in your decision and try not to give into to the feeling of LOVE...remember LOVE shouldn't use you or walk all over you.
I know I have had the issue of doing too much for my BF then he expects me to always be that way but its tiring and painful for me. Your PREGNANT and now you have someone else to worry about you can't raise him and your child. He's a "grown a$$ man" or so he thinks...just like I tell my BF time to grow up and do for yourself.
My Beautiful Baby is here! 12/29/2010 2:01pm
EWWWW what a selfish JERK!!! I don't know you but I do know you deserve better than that!!! Don't play his games! It'll suck but in the end both you and your child will be better off. I told my BD that my expectations of him were XYZ and if he didn't want to do that then I would let him know when the baby was born and that I would have a lawyer contact him about child support and custody. So far he's been amazing since our talk. I know it doesn't work with every guy but a lot of the times when they realize you'll walk away they change their attitude.
Hope you get some good sleep soon. Keep your head up!

That is why there was departure of former CEO last year
Conference call indicated there would be a separate announcement soon
Not an out right statement; however, in the conference call the subject was brought up and it looks very likely that the California assets will be packaged into a separate company and spun off. Sales from Mid-east properties will be used to buy back stock. The Permian basin is where the action is, especially the shale. OXY has the biggest position. No mention of chemicals or midstream.
No mention yet, hopefully the board meeting in February will have some more news. If there were any news, you see it on yahoo finance headlines for this stock, wouldn't you think?
oxy should buy dnr. perfdect fit

Hi.. apologies as this has turned out longer than expected, but I'd really appreciate some advice!
I'm due to go to Uni in 2008 (so currently y12), and I live in SE London. I've decided for several reaons that I want to stay in London for Uni, and intend to live at home, for the first year at least. I went to the UCAS fair yesterday and now feel even more unsure about what I want to do.
I'm interested in doing a Public Relations degree, or something similar, such as PR & Marketing etc. The thing is, I feel like I'm letting down parents, and more so teachers etc because of this. I've always been pretty bright (not amazingly intelligent), but have always done well academically, am doing English, History, Sociology and Media and so am more in to written subjects and would say I'm quite capable. I got all As and Bs at GCSE and am predicted the same for this year and next. I wanted to go in to law for years, and then changed my mind to teaching, and all the while, felt like people assumed that I would go in to something like that.. do a degree or go in to a career that was quite 'academic'. Some of my teachers assume I'll be applying to top Unis etc..
However, I'm really determined not to go to Uni and get a degree for the sake of it.. I want to get a degree which will be helpful to my career, will put me a slight step ahead and which will prove that the three years of studying for it will have been worthwhile. I don't think I'd cope with a history degree (don't think I'm good enough to be honest, and don't want to struggle for three years and end up with a crap grade) and if I did a social science degree, I'm not sure I want to go in to anything related to this as a career. That's why I'm steering towards PR (or something similar), as I feel this is possibly more beneficial career-wise and won't be so work-heavy (as in lots of writing and essays etc). However, I feel that loads of people expect me to do something better than this and I feel as though people will think I'm throwing away great opportunities and not fulfilling my potential.
The Unis in London I looked at yesterday that did PR or similar were: London Met, Greenwich, Westminster, Thames Valley, Middlesex, Kingston, Roehampton and Southbank. None of these are apparently great Unis, and I got lots of frowns when I mentioned going to London Met, and have been told I could do much better than any of these.
So, my questions are:
Where else in London does a good PR (or at least marketing/media related) degree?
Would I really be not aiming for my full potential if I do PR at one of these Unis and is this such a terrible mistake?
Would I be better to try and exert myself and try and get in to a better London uni doing something like Sociology or a social science degree, even though I'm not sure what sort of job they'd be great for and lead me straight in to?
Which of these Unis is the best generally? (apart from Southbank, as I live 10 mins from here and know it's not the best!)
Many thanks for reading.. xxxx

Well I can´t offer any advice about a marketing/PR degree, but if you do decide to apply for a more academic subject, why not Management? A lot of management degrees involve marketing modules, and you would be able to apply for King´s and QMUL for this subject too
If you want a media degree then you could go for Film Studies at King´s or QMUL (plus UCL does Russian with Film Studies I believe).
Sorry I can´t be of more help
Thanks for that! I've looked at management, but didn't know whether it was a bit generic? And possibly not the best degree to go in to PR with? Also, i thought business was a requirement in order to do management (I haven't ever done it)?
Thanks very much for your help though!
Oh God no, I applied for Business last year and didn´t have a single related subject for A Level!
Management is a good subject for working in the city. Sure it´s not intended to produce people to work for a specific job, but it´s a good grounding in business. Also I´d imagine that people going into PR/marketing would mostly have a business/management degree as opposed to a PR/marketing degree (obviously there are people with totally unrelated subjects too but you know what I mean).
Anyway management would be better than a PR degree in that it would offer broader career prospects (I know you´re set on a career in PR but you never know what can happen in 3 years, you might decide on something else).
Right! Thanks! I'll have a look in to management then, and perhaps even see if it can be combined with a degree I already like the look of. Thanks for your help.
No problem. If I remember correctly management can be combined with quite a few subjects at QMUL, and at UCL it is only offered with other subjects (information management, a language, science, maths and statistics I think). LSE offers management too but they would want you to have Maths at AS Level at least.
Have you been able to get any work experience? I know it's competitive, but it does really open your eyes. Try and find out what the top firms look for - I think like most graduate jobs the degree is secondary to experience. You might want to consider something like sociology at LSE, where you'd be able to dip into a few business/management style modules, as well as get some experience at relevant student societies. That's not to say there's anything wrong with the uni's you've mentioned, but if you're not being stretched academically then you might get bored!

I don't think you should worry about doing a degree that's specifically a PR/Marketing degree in order to become a PR person or work in marketing, generally most people enter that industry with general degree's like English, History (these are just examples- I'm not saying you should do them if you hate the subjects) etc and since it's a pretty competetive industry people have usually graduated from good redbrick universities. Also you should consider the fact you might change your mind about PR whilst or after your studying- this was one of the reasons I didn't want to do a vocational subject.

I'd say do an arts degree/management degree for PR, anything with heavy empasis on communication is best way forward. Also a language could prove to be beneficial
Thanks for the advice.
I'm not going to do a straight PR degree now, I think I'm going to do something media-related, perhaps Marketing/communications/media/journalism type degree, perhaps with options to dip in to public relations topics. It also widens my choice of Unis a bit. Thanks!! This advice has been greatly appreciated. I emailed a few PR firms and the CIPR on Saturday regarding degree advice and work experience, and am just waiting for any feedback now, so hopefully I'll start to get a clearer picture of what I want to do.
Thanks so much again. x
Hi there,
It's unlikely that you will read this as this was posted a while ago but I saw this message on my research and found I seem to be in a very similar situation to you!
It would be useful to know what you decided on doing to help me with my own struggles with this problem.

I'm a PR and Corporate Communications officer for a French comany in Asia and from my experience, It would be much better if you study either Communication or PR for your first degree rather than a general one. Companies want their potiental employees to be well-trainned and skillled and could apply the knowledge to their work straight away so they don't have to spend budget to train the staff again. My advice is: do a BA in PR either at Westminster or Uni of West London.
Westminster is well-known for Communication studies and Uni of West London's PR degree enables you to have up to 1 year work placement. Many of my co-workers studied there.

The language idea sounds pretty cool! Not sure if I've seen different languages used in the anime at all, but maybe even a secret code or some sort might be useful?
Yes, the Magikarp guy is definitely putting up a fight! (in the original "Battle Royale" movie, I think the winning characters initially got "useless" weapons, e.g. a pot lid and binoculars while other people were getting axes and guns) But yes, there should definitely be trainers that will be playing it smart rather than all out offensively; I'm thinking another guy is going to have an Abra that only knows Teleport. So many possibilities...
Ooh, thanks for the book rec. That sounds really interesting. Have you heard of the "Hunger Games" at all, by any chance?
Oops, sorry about putting this the wrong place!
; I did see other plot idea type threads in the main Writer's Lounge section, though (e.g. "Flying Girl Rainbow Wing," "Unknown writing story," "Lilly's Story," etc.), and I'm a bit confused about how mine was different from those. In general, how should I determine where to post this kind of stuff in the future?
Haha, yes, Takuto is most definitely in the dark. He doesn't have much backstory in the anime, so I'm going to be taking free reign with that (evil smile). As for the collars, they explode if you try to take them off, and they have some sort of audio/tracking monitor system that I will have to look more into.
; Not sure how I'm gonna handle Pokemon evolving, though. Uh...magic! (haha)
Yeah, I don't think anyone in the happy G-rated world that is the Pokemon anime would take well to this at all, not without some serious trauma (which is part of the reason I feel this idea would be difficult to pull off well
). I guess one of the points of the original "Battle Royale" was that ordinary high schoolers could become killers under the pressure of life and death situations, so I'm looking for ways to make the Pokemon chars crack as well...hope that doesn't make me sound too evil.
no, there aren't any heroes here...
is the stuff legends are made of]
