Memorable episode. This episodes resembles more of a Twilight Zone episode than an Alfred Hitchcock episode for it's touch of the supernatural at the end.
Eileen Baral plays an orphan named Eva living with her aunt. Eva develops unusual behavior by making up imaginary friends. At first her Aunt doesn't mind but when these friends start ihfluencing her behavior in bad fashion , Aunt Nell (played beautifully by Margaret Leighton) intervene.
This episode is well acted. The girl Eileen Baral really makes you wonder about this child. At first you think she's an innocent girl going through a phase but at certain points you get the impression that she might be going mad.
In a way this episode is hinting at parent/child relationships. Her aunt cannot believe or humor her child by believing in her imaginary friends. Eva starts to dislike her more and more and runs away. The twist at the end is a bit expected but it was well done.
This is a great episode.

Common Core standards for reading include literature and informational texts. The standards detail the thinking skills students should learn. Although reading lists are provided as samples of rigor, no particular texts are required.
Examples of literature standards for grades 9-10 include:
Cite textual evidence to support your analysis of what the text says explicitly, as well as inferences drawn from the text.
Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings.
Analyze how an author draws on and transforms source material in a specific work (such as how Shakespeare treats a theme or topic from Ovid or the Bible or how a later author draws on a play by Shakespeare).
Examples of informational text standards for grades 9-10 include:
Analyze how the author unfolds an analysis or series of ideas or events, including the order in which the points are made, how they are introduced and developed, and the connections that are drawn between them.
Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text and analyze how an author uses rhetoric to advance that point of view or purpose.
Analyze seminal U.S. documents of historical and literary significance (such as Washington's Farewell Address, the Gettysburg Address, Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech, King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail"), including how they address related themes and concepts.
Perhaps the surest way to discover the truth about the Common Core State Standards is to read them. They are online at www.corestandards.org/the-standards

Company Snapshot: Electricity evolution has sparked a few difficulties on the road to profit
Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) was privatised as a large single company, which owned the systems for electricity for households and businesses across Northern Ireland.
The (then) newly established regulator determined the selling price for electricity to customers at levels which took account of the accepted costs of transmission and distribution. NIE was a regulated monopoly.
The evolution from NIE plc has been dramatic as the original NIE became Viridian Group.
The privatised company was bought by a subsidiary of a company in Bahrain, Arcapita Bank. The Viridian Group has been extensively reorganised. The parent company of the Viridian Group is now Viridian Group Holdings, registered in the Cayman Islands.
The Viridian Group, as registered in Northern Ireland, trades only as a holding company.
Other related businesses are registered in the Republic and the Isle of Man.
An overall aggregation of the totality of the activities of the Viridian Group in Northern Ireland is not published by the group.
The profit and loss account of the Viridian Group in the year to March 2009 was dominated by the receipt of dividends from subsidiaries. It received £110m and paid out £102m to the Cayman Islands parent Group Holdings.
Of the 10 other subsidiaries, four are the largest players in the local electricity business.
NIE Energy employs 97 people and supplies electricity to all households and many businesses. In 2008/9, NIE Energy had a turnover of £1,029m.
Partly because of losses of £42m on hedge contracts, this business made a loss of £17m.
Viridian Energy Supply, which trades as Energia, employs 87 people. On a turnover of £194m there was a pre-tax profit of £3m.
NIE plc, which must be distinguished from NIE Energy, employs 325 people and is mainly responsible for the transmission and distribution business. In 2008/9 turnover was £206m and, excluding discontinued businesses, pre-tax profits were £51m.

Today, I made our home made version of what is commonly known as nuts and bolts ... we call it Scrabble! We make a big batch once a year at Christmas and munch on it until it's all gone. (It keeps good in air tight containers.)
(Photo: Scrabble spread out on a towel cooling before being put into air tight containers.)
I had never heard of Scrabble until I met my husband. It was a family favorite in his family and was made every year sometime either right before Thanksgiving or before Christmas. After my husband and I married we brought that tradition into our family and now our children are enjoying the same tradition in their families.
Making Scrabble at our house signals/screams 'Christmas!' Is there something that you do that signals/screams 'Christmas' at your house?
I also worked on the Christmas cards that will be hand delivered at church tomorrow and with my husband's help got them ready to deliver.
What did you do on your journey toward Christmas today?

I am, of course. If you're interested in betting the Niners, you can see my write-up on the previous page of this thread, about taking Kaepernick to win MVP, instead of betting the Niners straight up.
I'm not playing the spread, because I don't bet for, or against my favorite teams (Niners, anything University of Kentucky.)
As for the O/U, I think it's about right. Gun to my head, I probably play the 1st half UNDER, and then maybe make a 2nd half bet based on what went down in the first.
I like to play a lot of prop bets for the SuperBowl. As is the case every year, if you bet every "no" and "under" on every prop bet that allows it, you will come out ahead. Don't know why, but the public loves to bet the "yes" and "over" in prop bets.
I'm on Joe Flacco longest completion UNDER 40.5 (even), LaMichael James to score a TD (+275), Vernon Davis OVER 3.5 receptions (-145), and the Ravens to kick the games longest FG (-150).

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Clan name Ui Ceinnsealaigh.
Kinsellagh Early Origins
Wexford (Irish: Loch Garman), founded by Vikings as Waesfjord, and located in Southeastern Ireland, in the province of Leinster, where they held a family seat from ancient times.
Kinsellagh Spelling Variations
Kinsellagh Spelling Variations
Those scribes in Ireland during the Middle Ages recorded names as they sounded. Consequently, in this era many people were recorded under different spellings each time their name was written down. Research on the Kinsellagh family name revealed numerous spelling variations, including Kinsella, Kinsellagh, Kincheloe,Kenselloe, Kinsello and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
A massive amount of Ireland's native population left the island in the 19th century for North America and Australia in hopes of finding more opportunities and an escape from discrimination and oppression. A great portion of these migrants arrived on the eastern shores of the North American continent. Although they were generally poor and destitute, and, therefore, again discriminated against, these Irish people were heartily welcomed for the hard labor involved in the construction of railroads, canals, roadways, and buildings. Many others were put to work in the newly established factories or agricultural projects that were so essential to the development of what would become two of the wealthiest nations in the world. The Great Potato Famine during the late 1840s initiated the largest wave of Iris immigration. Early North American immigration and passenger lists have revealed a number of people bearing the name Kinsellagh or a variant listed above: Michael Kinsella, who settled in Philadelphia in 1860; and John Alexander Kinsella who settled there in 1846.

As I outlined in the last post (overview), I will be performing
several steps in this design-from-scratch ranking system
project. This post describes the first stage of the design
process and is the most straightforward. There are four items
I am going to consider for the target universe:
- Choice of standard Portfolio123 universe
- Minimum liquidity
- Minimum stock price
- Ranking system design process
Choice of Standard Portfolio123 Universe
Since this is a brand new process I am inventing, I have decided
to go with a fairly broad universe. I don't like
Over-the-counter (OTC) stocks and I also don't want Master Limited
Partnerships (MLPs). Therefore, my decision is to use the
S&P 1500. All stocks in this universe are listed on a
major US exchange with (I believe) no MLPs and all companies are
either U.S. companies or international companies with headquarters
in the U.S. For me this is preferable to trying to filter out
Chinese companies, a rather difficult task.
I normally design very high liquidity models with at least $5M
$Volume per day, sometimes a lot higher. For this project I am going
to drop my requirement down to $2M $Volume per day. The lower
$Volume should give this ranking system better performance than I am accustomed to. My portfolio design will use a buy rule of
AvgDailyTot(60)>2,000,000 (minimum $2M $Volume per day on
average). But this is an average, and the
filter only applies to the days preceding the trade, not the actual
day of trade so one has to expect that the $Volume could be lower,
either on trade day or while the stock is held. Thus my target
universe will be set to $1M, allowing stock liquidity to bounce
around a little bit without dropping out of the universe.
Minimum Stock Price
I like to work with a minimum stock price of $2. I find
that this price gives very good performance in stock simulations
without too much compromise on stock volatility. I know most
R2G models buy stocks down to $1 but I don't wish to go down that
low. That is my personal preference and I don't care to try
to justify it. If a developer is comfortable with buying
stocks at $1 then that is OK. You should keep in mind
however that the stock price may drop down to penny stock status,
and possibly fall off the exchange it is listed on.
So, if I set the minimum stock price at $2 as a portfolio buy
rule then I will need to test below this price as the stock price
may drop below $2. For example, I don't want to buy at $2
and have to sell the next week because the stock price dropped to
$1.95. So I am going to set my minimum stock price for this
exercise at $1.50 in the target universe. As a general rule,
I require the closing price to be above $1.50 and also a 60 day
moving average to be above $1.50. The moving average
requirement is to prevent stocks with an unusual price around the
lower price from being bought.
One additional check that I like to include is to make sure the
stock has been around for awhile i.e. no IPOs. For this
filter I use Close(500)>1.
Ranking system design process
As a developer, I need to have a basic understanding of the
ranking system design process up front. This is important
because I want to know how many stocks will be in each ranking bin
which determines the reliability for the entire process.
The first step is to enter all of the rules for the target
universe into a screen as shown in the figure below. The
most recent date shows a total of 1440 stocks in the target
universe. By sampling various dates, I found a minimum of
1233 stocks at one point. For the purpose of this analysis I
am going to assume a minimum of 1200 stocks in the target
universe, a little more conservative than the minimum number that
I had found by sampling.
Out of curiosity I decided to repeat this experiment using the
Buy rules for a potential port as shown in the figure below. By sampling
different dates, I found a minimum of 1100 stocks that fulfilled the rules. As
liquidity has increased over the years, my conclusion is that I
could expect at least 1100 stocks that will meet portfolio
liquidity buy rules at any given point in time in the future.
Now getting back to the target universe analysis...
I will be analyzing the 10 sectors independently, and testing
with odd/even stock IDs. Therefore, individual test
universes have a minimum of (1200 / 10) /2 = 60 stocks
each. I generally test at a rank of 80 and higher, therefore
I will be testing 20% of each test universe or 60/5*0.2 = 12
stocks. I don't know if this will be a sufficient number of
stocks for test but I am going to proceed with this. If I
run into trouble there are some workarounds that I could use - I
can't explain just now as I would be getting ahead of myself.
Below is a snapshot of the Test Universe with one sector
specified. Already I am below my estimate of 60 stocks in
each test universe as I forgot to consider the variation in number
of stocks between each sector. Anyways, I will proceed on
while keeping a close eye on this issue. Note that I chose
the Even stock-IDs as there are more stocks than the odd stock-IDs
by ~50 stocks.

My career has developed fantastically. By travelling and working abroad prior to coming to HBS, I gained such grounded real life experiences and learned so much about myself, especially in terms of flexibility, perseverance, and dealing with uncomfortable situations. Since joining HBS in December 2008, I have added many tangible business skills and, more importantly, a strong business sense and passion for the work I love. It also doesn't hurt when you talk with folks outside of HBS, there is a certain cache about Harvard, especially the Business School. When I do transition outside of these walls, I also know that Harvard Business School means a lot to other employers, especially if you want to stay within Higher Education.
The people at HBS make working here so special. If you look around at the other staff (especially those in MBA Career and Professional Development), they are smart, talented, and decorated professionally. They have backgrounds and skills to work at places where they could make more money or manage more people, but there is a passion for educating the students here and helping the students develop into better professionals and better people. When you work with people like that on a day-to-day basis, it makes you really enjoy coming to work.
Just prior to RC interviews this January, my team (Career Education & Coaching) led a new program call Prep Days that was four days of intensive interview preparation. As the RC Program Specialist, I was the point person for the program and started my pre-program work in August to get everything for the weekend ready. Though the weekend was quite hectic, we had tremendous feedback from the students about their preparedness for interviews. Our programming numbers increased by over 400% and we did not add any staff members to capture this increase. Looking back now, I take a lot of pride in being a part of something that helped our students secure the jobs they wanted for this summer and to see outcomes on working on a project from start to finish.
Having the opportunity to travel and lead a group of students to China and Vietnam on the IXPs is an opportunity that I will never forget and was tremendous!

Make a big pot of beans and a big batch of whole grains every week and keep them in the refrigerator. It takes the same amount of time and not much more energy to cook a big batch as a small batch, and reheating them takes only a few minutes. Plus, if you have them in your fridge, you're far more likely to actually eat them.

Mr. Carmack
Music is what Mr. Carmack does. With a keen pair of parents who've always been supportive and musical, it's really no surprise that Mr. Carmack is able to combine so many different styles into one, cohesive sound. With a background as a pianist since the age of 3, a drummer [who followed in his mother's percussive footsteps] with a hip hop sensibility, a lover of house music and a knack for heavy hitting sounds, Mr. Carmack has really carved a unique style into the electronic music ecosystem.
Carmack doesn't like to beef up his accomplishments or pat himself on the back, but if you walk into a conscious dance club on any given night around the globe, you will probably her a Carmack production or two without even knowing it. He's stealth like that. Supported by worldwide tastemakers like RL Grime, Kaytranada, Djemba Djemba, Okayplayer and BBC Radio 1, Mr. Carmack has only begun to show us what he's capable of – always leaving folks patiently anticipating his next musical moves.

Think things are bleak? Think again! There's always a sunny way of looking at things and hey, it's five o'clock somewhere…consider this: Bloomberg ranked average annual wages for OECD countries and we came out on top.
Data taken from 2011 reflected full-time employees (FTE) as well as employees on a part-time basis converted to a FTE basis. Salaries were adjusted so they compared applies to applies in terms of purchasing power equity. This gave researchers the opportunity to compare costs from one country to another.
Drumroll please…The average wage for America was $54,450.
Here's how the salaries stacked up for the top 10:
United States $54,450
Luxembourg $52,847
Ireland $50,764
Switzerland $50,242
Netherlands $47,056
Denmark $45,560
Australia $44,983
United Kingdom $44,743
Belgium $44,364

add css styles to WYSIWYG and Advanced TINY
I still havent found any info on this that works.
How can I get the WYSIWYG editor to list my custom classes in the STYLE drop down field in the WYSIWYG editor.
I have TinyMCE Advanced activated and the styles drop down is there but how do i tell it to load certain classes I create?
I cant find this file that I keep reading is needed to make it work etc tadv-tinymce.css
The file that I do see is called tadv-styles.css
From the plugin site:
I don't see any styles being imported in the "Styles" drop-down menu.
These styles (just the classes) are imported from your current theme's style.css file. However some themes use "@import" links in the style.css to load the actual css file(s). Tiny doesn't follow these links for now. To make the classes appear, add their names to tadv-tinymce.css file in the plugin's folder. You don't need to copy the whole classes, just add the names, like that:
- The topic 'add css styles to WYSIWYG and Advanced TINY' is closed to new replies.

Published January 7, 2008
An original Ray is coming back.
Catcher Mike Difelice, a Ray from 1998-2001, agreed to terms on a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training and the opportunity to compete for a backup job.
"I've been with the Rays," he said Sunday. "I know where they're trying to get to. I wanted to be part of it and I still want to be."
Difelice, 38, spent most of the past three seasons with the Mets' Triple-A team, playing just 42 games in the big leagues, and only 17 the year before that with the Tigers and Cubs. His last full major-league season was 2003.
Difelice had offers with the Mets and other teams but said the opportunity for a major-league job as well as the chance to return to the Rays and play near his Palm Harbor home led him to take their offer.
"There were a lot of factors," he said. "I wanted the opportunity to compete."
The Rays have three catchers on their 40-man roster, starter Dioner Navarro and prospects Shawn Riggans and John Jaso, but little experience after letting Josh Paul and Raul Casanova go, though Paul could return.

PROGRAM TITLE: U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Program (U. S. JGOFS) ACTIVITY STREAMS: Process, Model, Observe, Data, Assess SCIENTIFIC ELEMENT:
Biogeochemical Dynamics NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATIONSCIENTIFIC MERIT: The goal of the U.S. JGOFS Program is to investigate the fluxes of carbon and related biogenic elements between air and sea, and within the ocean, using ships, aircraft, satellites, and in-ocean instrumentation, to achieve its goals. The Program elements consist of time-series stations, process studies, a global survey of ocean CO2 chemistry, data management and modeling. Each year some 40% of the fossil fuel CO2 added to the atmosphere is transferred to the sea, and the imprint of this signal now provides a significant perturbation of ocean chemistry. Policy makers are concerned with regulating the build up of atmospheric CO2, and need accurate information on current status and future trends. Models accounting for this process typically use a simple abiological ocean, and the fossil fuel signal appears in such models as written on a blank, or constant background. The true ocean contains large time-varying gradients of the natural cycle on which the fossil fuel signal is superimposed. U.S.JGOFS experiments are designed to observe and constrain this natural cycle so that the changes of man are truly discernible. In the future it is quite possible that climatic change can perturb this natural cycle, forcing further changes in the CO2 system, and affecting life processes over 70% of the earth's surface. U.S. JGOFS seeks to attain national and international consensus and scientific understanding of these issues. The potential role of increased atmospheric CO2 in influencing the marine animal populations will be addressed by the linking of JGOFS and GLOBEC. In a similar linkage, the interaction of the ocean and continental margins will be realized through coordination with LIOCZ. Two major process studies, both multi-agency and multi-national, have been executed, two time-series stations, are in operation, and approximately one third of the global survey goals have already been met. A research satellite dedicated to the program is scheduled for a 1994 launch. STAKEHOLDERS: The U.S. JGOFS Program grew out of the recommendations of a 1984 National Academy of Sciences workshop. It is a major and leading component of the international program JGOFS, established three years later, which now numbers more than 30 nations among its participants, and is a "Core Project" of the IGBP. National and international partners include related global change programs which cooperate with JGOFS (i.e., WOCE, GLOBEC, TOGA and IGAC and their U.S. equivalents). In addition, NOAA's Global Change Program and NASA's Ocean Biogeochemistry Program are integral components of the U.S. JGOFS. Beneficiaries include the scientific community, at large, who need a better description of the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle and policy makers who rely on this community for advice. POLICY RELEVANCE: Preliminary information from the JGOFS Program will prove essential to policy makers as they look forward to the EOS Era and assess how such programs as JGOFS can help to tackle the questions which are to be addressed in the post-JGOFS period. Long term benefits will derive naturally from the insights which flow from an increased understanding of the global carbon cycle and policy issues which relate to it.

Finally, Mimoun was able to take gold at age 35 in 2:25:00 in front of 110,000 people in a stadium finish in Melbourne. He awaited Zatopek, who'd won the marathon in 1952 but was sixth this time. The two men embraced, a moment that Mimoun would call "better than the medal." Mimoun had been well-prepared for racing 26.2 miles. "I gorged myself on 40-K a day for two years, without telling a soul," he told a biographer, Pat Butcher.
Mimoun was born in French Algeria (before Algeria's 1962 independence) and suffered a serious leg injury at the Battle of Monte Cassino in the Second World War. Indeed, he might have lost part of his left leg through amputation if a storm hadn't destroyed the French field hospital.
He was still winning French national championships at age 45, and he ran a 2:34:36 marathon at age 51. Mimoun was a four-time winner of the international cross country championships, the precursor of the current world championships.
The Associated Press quotes Michel Jazy, who would later become a world record holder in the mile and testified to Mimoun's diligence and intensity. The two were Olympic roommates, and Mimoun "woke me at 5:30 in the morning to go run, and in the evening he made me go to bed at 8:30," recalled Jazy. "Even though we were at the Olympics I couldn't go to any of the parties."
As seen above, in 2004, at age of 83, Mimoun ran with the Olympic Torch through the streets of Paris, on a stage of its journey to Athens.

I am an ex-Royal Engineers (1965 - 1989) and had to give up work in August of 2007 to become a full time carer for my wife who suffers from acute bi-polar disorder. For many years my family friends and colleagues have tried to persuade me to put pen to paper to down some of the many 'stories' I would tell at social and family occasions. They likened my to Unc in only fools and horses! I remember when . . . . Eyes would roll and at least one would say, "Pull up a Sandbag" or "Swing the Lights". However the stories were always funny and I would usually have them rolling in the aisle.
The Continuing Story of Our Lad Ricky by
Michael A Ruston
Ricky – The Early Years
I have attempted in my books to give a feel of what life was really like for a military family living below the poverty line in the 1950s and early 1960s. In this, the first of the four books, I detail my life from my earliest memories, through my school days, until I eventually joined the Army in the mid 1960s. You are able to follow the numerous scrapes, incidents and often funny, sometimes tragic situations in which I found myself. Arrested by the RMP three times before reaching the tender age of 7!
Our Lad Ricky
In Our Lad Ricky I write about the several abortive attempts I made to join the Army, always failing due to my apparent weakness and ill health. And how, in desperation, I persuaded my best friend and school chum Ben to travel with me to Queen Street, Wolverhampton and take my entrance medical there on my behalf. The book highlights my hesitant, precarious and often hilarious attempts at turning from boy to man, by learning to be a soldier and how, not just once, but twice, I was almost discharged from the Army as 'Services No Longer required'!
Ricky – Green Beret
In Ricky – Green Beret, I cover the period from my arrival in Germany, through a host of mishaps and personal catastrophes. Ricky, having been betrayed by a friend, which almost resulted in a Court Martial was close to eviction from the Army. Meeting and falling madly in love with a country girl, but was it to be?
And then, quite accidentally, Ricky found himself posted to a Commando Unit forming up in Singapore. Although NOT a volunteer 'Ricky' struggled through weeks of 'Beat Up' and following Commando Training at the Commando Training Centre in Lympstone, Devon, to successfully succeed in winning the much coveted Green Beret. Much to his own surprise and the astonishment of comrades, friends and family!

Yet another FASHION FELONY......

Don't be a "Blue Tool"
Yet another FASHION FELONY......
Tuesday, January 6, 2009
Let's Review......
As we all know a little animal print can add some spice to any outfit.....
...That is unless you choose to wear leopard Croc's. I came across these dreadful things while browsing macys.com and was absolutely horrified! I thought I made it very clear in my previous post What a Croc that Crocs are a HUGE "Fashion Faux Pas"
Another idea is to carry an animal print bag! Just remember that you should not wear animal print from head to toe. Not only is it a Fashion Felony but it's way too "Matchy Matchy"

If the boot fits....
With winter in swing it's time to break out the boots!!!
Boots are probably one of my favorite things to wear. They are so versatile. They can be worn under pants or jeans, with jeans tucked into them (my favorite), or even with a sweater dress.
A classy tip: If you sign up for email newsletters from Aldo, they will give you a coupon for 10% off your first purchase. you can sign up by clicking here.
REMEMBER: you get what you pay for. Don't go the cheap route when it comes to boots.
You don't have to spend a fortune but keep in mind that you only wear them a few months out of the year. So a good pair (or two) can last you a few years at least.

A Faux-Pas comes full circle.
Once considered an extreme FAUX- PAS is now a thing of the past. Can you guess what I'm talking about?
I'm talking about wearing brown and black together in the same outfit. Most of us would have rather died than wear these two together. But now, I am here to tell you that it not only acceptable, but it actually looks good. I'm not sure where the idea that the two colors didn't match came from but I'm glad that we as fashonista's have finally wised up and can embrace this look with open arms.
You will be seeing it all over this season, from people walking on the streets or in shopping centers, high end catalogues, to the chicest boutiques.

Heidi, it's not Halloween yet!!
Heidi, One question..... WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
The Hills star was spotted wearing this disaster earlier this week.
Maybe Spencer has started brainwashing her to the point where he is telling her how to dress.
What ever the reason for this nightmare, it's not a good one.
I hope that Heidi never wears something like this again or I might have to put her in my fashion "black book" filed under repeat offender.
Consider this a warning Montag!

Picnic Time!!!!
What is this???? UGLY as HELL that's what!! When I came across this disaster and was for once, speechless. For one thing, this D&G dress is one of the most hideous things I have ever seen. Two, what happened to Jessica Simpson? I never thought I would say this, but Kelly Osborne looks better than her. WOW!!! Jessica, you have let your new found country lifestyle go just a tad too far. You're supposed to eat on the picnic blanket, not turn it into a dress!!

Slob's in the City
Maybe I missed the memo, but I doubt it.
When did it become socially acceptable to dress like a slob? I recently read an article in TBT, in which a journalist was going to Publix for a late evening snack when she saw something that made her "tremble in fear". There were a number of people there dressed in items that one should never leave the house in. She saw, four pairs of pajama pants, three "muscle" tees, a halter dress exposing a dingy bra, a scrunchie, and too many dirty flip-flops to count.
Similarly, I have noticed this at school. Why do people think it is okay to wear pajama pants, slippers, ripped shirts, basketball shorts with dirty "wife beater" tank tops to school (or anywhere for that matter) ? Yesterday, I counted 4 people in just one class doing this. Did I go up to them and say, "What are you doing? Are you nuts? Don't you know how awful that looks"? NO. I didn't, but that doesn't mean I didn't want to.
You may notice people committing this fashion felony while traveling. They can be spotted in airports around the world.
You don't have to sacrifice your dignity for so-called comfort.
So, I say to all the pajama clad publix shoppers, students and travelers; Keep the PJ's in the house and no one gets hurt!

Big Bucks for Big Towel
In the market for a new beach towel? If you are you may want to think about taking out a second mortgage to scoop up this one.
Looks like you ordinary beach towel right? WRONG! It's a Hermes beach towel.... It's made from, you guessed it, 100% cotton. WOW! I guess in Hermes language that translates to: woven from gold thread and diamond dust. (note: it doesn't. it translates into, Lets rip off consumers by telling them its a designer product, so they have to have it)
The average beach towel can cost anywhere from $10 to $20 depending on size and quality.
I guess if I ever feel like spending $459 on a beach towel one day, then I will definitely have to buy this one.
You can pick up this little COTTON bag for $930!!!
This day at the beach is getting to be quite expensive.
Lets take a moment to add this up:
Towel- $459
Beach Bag- $930
*(remember: That is for one towel. I don't know about you but I take at least 3 with me every time i go to the beach)

Checker boards are for playing checkers.... hence the name!!
Who wants checkers all over their pants? This girl does, THAT's WHO!!
I was shopping at International Plaza this past Sunday, when something suddenly caught my eye. No, it was not a fabulous bag or a cute outfit.... It was a girl wearing the most awful hideous pants I have ever seen. Not to mention they are "skinny" and she has chosen to pair them with not one, but two metallic belts. YUCK!
Someone must have missed the memo that this is not by any stretch of the imagination attractive. She would have been better off wearing a huge sign that says, "Hi I am a victim of extremely bad taste, and I have absolutely no fashion sense." That would have saved my eyes from experiencing a tremendous amount of pain.
But, I am actually glad that she wore it because it gave me a change to educate others on yet another Fashion Felony

WARNING: wrong bra causes damage
i recently wrote about how 85% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. i just came across this article and wanted to share it.
Ladies, listen up.
Researchers from the University of Portsmouth in Hampshire, England found that wearing the wrong "support system" could lead to fragile ligaments in the breasts becoming irreparably stretched, the Daily Mail reported.
They found up to 95 percent of women are at risk — mostly because they are ignorant or embarrassed about their true bra size, according to the report.
Researched concluded this after they gave 100 women a treadmill test.
During the past three years, the team studied about 50 bra designs. What they found was that with most bras women's breasts move up and down, in and out and from side to side, shifting an average of 8.26 inches, during exercise.
The problem is that most bras are designed to limit just vertical movement, the Mail reported.
"Many women have strong preferences for certain styles of bra and won't buy anything else," Wendy Hedger, a researcher told the Mail. "In sports bras, for example, many women won't buy a bra that resembles their everyday bra — they think if it can't be pulled over their heads like a crop top, then it's not a real sports bra."
This is not true, Hedger said.
"Many sports bras do up at the back in the same way as a traditional bra and do a very good job of supporting women."
The bottom-line, choose a bra that is going to support your breasts whether you're walking down the street or running on a treadmill, researchers said.

Chief of (fashion) Police
We've all seen it...... these "wanna be" gangster guys "housing" their pants almost around their ankles. not cute! anyway, the Chief of Police in Flint, Michigan has had enough!
He has ordered that anyone who is wearing sagging pants with an un-tucked shirt, be searched.
The ACLU's Michigan chapter says that Flint Police are stopping people and pulling up their shirts to see if their pants are too low. the Police Chief claims that it is indecent exposure and a violation of the city's disorderly conduct ordnance, which gives police cause to search the person for drugs or weapons.
This trend is spreading nationwide amongst law makers. most cities implementing this law are handing out fines up to $500, while others are assigning community service.
I only wish we could give out fines for fashion felonies..... maybe then some people would think twice when choosing what to wear.

you have got to be kidding me!!!!
Talk about saturating the market. In the beginning the Christian Audigier brand was unique, and considered by some to be a "status" symbol.
Now, it is EVERYWHERE!!- Even being made into "knock knocks" (fakes). I remember a product like this not a few years back that did the same thing.
Unless you were living under a rock- you have seen this bag. The Louis Vuitton Multicolor.
If you so desire, go out and buy this Ed Hardy bag priced at $290. But I would not recommend it. Unless you are a fan of being the person who everyone looks at while you're carrying it and thinks, what an idiot! That person spent almost $300 on a bag that makes them look like a complete moron.
Mark my words: this may be popular now, but give it 6 months and then tell me if you will ever carry this again. Unless, you are using it as a tote to carry all of your Ed Hardy items to the local thrift store.

c'mon SERIOUSLY?
WOW!!! This guy seriously went to his closet, picked out this wretched outfit, put it on, and went out of his house believing that he looked good!!! That is a scary thought!
For the record: Stripes and plaid DO NOT MATCH!
I came across this DISASTER at a local bar which I attend occasionally for Friday happy hour. Now, I wonder what was going through his head. Was it "man, I look good!, the ladies will be all over me tonight!" or was it "it's Friday and who cares what I wear" either way it is absolutely UN acceptable.
I wont continue to dissect this horrendous excuse for an outfit any further, but readers, please be advised that this is a fashion don't. If you are caught wearing something like this or even close (and I am lucky enough to have a camera in arm's reach) there is a good chance that there will be a post about you.

High Heels- A true love / hate relationship
Okay, I like so many other women i know absolutely love their high heels! I love mine!!!! i literally own 50 pairs. Some say i must have been born in them.
They are a true sacrifice for a lot woman. more often that not i get approached while wearing a pair of "killer" shoes and hear "gosh, don't those hurt to walk in?" or "I would die if i walked in those" my answer is ALWAYS, NO WAY, they feel great to me! but i have a secret. i have adopted several tricks to make them a lot more comfortable.
I have found these little inserts at ALDO. they are made of terrycloth, with a little padding under them. the best part is that they have non slip bottoms, so when i were them i don't have to worry about them sliding around in my favorite 4 (sometimes 5) inchers! (they cost about $5, and are definitely worth it) I have at least 10 pairs of them. Did i mention they are machine washable? a major PLUS!!!)
Dr. Scholles makes something like this too....but they do not work as well.

85%...... WOW that's A LOT!
Did you Know: 85% of women are in the wrong size bra?
Neither did I. I had always heard this and thought that it must be everyone else and not me.
I was wrong. I happened to be shopping at Nordstrom this weekend (surprise surprise) when a friend and I decided to get fitted for bra's. I'm not sure why we did, but I sure am glad. As it turns out I have been in the wrong size bra for quite a while now.
I have been fitted at Victoria's Secret before, but come to find out they are the ones who have been putting me in the wrong size. Now don't get me wrong VS bra's are great, but their associate's just don't know how to "size you up" like Nordstrom does.
"Almost every woman is guilty of wearing a bra that is too large in bandwidth and too small in the cup" says Oprah on her show "O's Bra Intervention". On which she had renound bra fitting expert Susan Nethero, owner of the Intimacy Boutique's in Atlanta, New York and Chicago. Susan is said to have fitted, and adjusted the bras of more than 100,000 women.
Some might think that bras at a store like Nordstrom would be much more expensive than say Victoria's Secret. Quite the contrary. The average price of a VS bra goes anywhere from $38 to $52! Bra's at Nordstrom start at around $28 and can go up into the $90 range.

"Just Say No" to Beer Bikini's!
Guys, don't think you're exempt from these rules. Girls don't think it makes you look hot when you wear beer or any other alcohol related board shorts. It makes you look like a tool!


text: I'm looking at buying a power wash to keep the trucks and under mower decks clean and welcome some opinions on the 2 choices I've narrowed it down to. #1 Devilbiss 2800psi Cat pump with a 6.5hp Honda GX 2 year warranty Or #2 Karcher 3100psi with a Subaru/Robin 9hp with a 1 year warranty. It will be a online purchase so "dealer support" is not a issue. So which one do you suggest? The Devilbiss is about $120 cheaper!

Ferdinand- before he was king
Ferdinand was born in 1452 in Aragon. His mother raised him to be both a king and a Catholic. He was a devout Catholic who attended mass every morning. As a child, Ferdnand fell ill many times, but as a youth, he was strong.
As a young knight Ferdinand loved to joust and to gamble. He wasn't an intellectual, but he was curious and eager to learn. Ferdinand was taught to read and write which was unusual for the time. By the age of nine, Ferdinand was named governor of one of his father's kingdoms.
At one point, the people tried to overthrow Ferdinand's father. Prince Ferdinand led forces against his father's enemies and won. From then on he was looked upon as a hero. Aragon needed a strong leader, and it looked like Ferdinand was going to be just what they were looking for.
To his wife....
Ferdinand and Isabella spent a lot of time apart as they each had their respective provinces to take care of. However, when they were apart, Ferdinand would write playful letters to Isabella. His tone was teasing as he would write to her with witty banter. However, his tone of writing would change dramatically as he wrote letters of business. He knew when he had to be serious and act diplomatically.

Hi Anne,
That's something I'll have to try!
I'm working on new palettes and color too! Trying to learn some painting in PS but Painter is so much easier...just crashes too much.
The next big thing is a global tour which started in Australia, to bring awareness to authors and illustrators and their current work. Thanks go to Susan Miller or tagging me.
Nice blog tour Anne, the book looks great.
wundervoll ...
So soft and beautiful. I love your style! (Still!) Just adorable and the subtle patterns are perfect.
I love it, great color and sweet edges!
Love that illustration,Anne! I always love the softness and warm feeling of your illustrations! Looking forward to seeing the final work! Happy creating!
this is so cute! I love the expressions!
I love the composition, great use of the angles!
Great perspective! Love the soft colors. Love all the little details from her costume to the candy to the sleeping bird. Very sweet scene!
So beautiful! So glad to see your entry at IF this week! I always love your bright, soft colors and wonderful detail. Her little outfit is amazing.
Wow, Anne, that looks like a great time! I just got back from Highlights and am so impressed with that company. It's been awhile since I've looked at your work - love the new illustrations! It looks like you're doing wonderful.
It's absolutely hilarious! :)
Lovely idea and rendering !
Good day to you too
So beautiful. I just love your art! She really should have a book! Each of the birds is adorable and the whole thing has so much personality. Super great!
This is a pencil drawing I scanned a while back, but for the first time I've added a badly need pattern to her kimono. This was just my first test. It's a simple pattern I created myself after watching a Corel Webinar by Carlyn Beccia demonstrating her technique for creating patterns and oil painting techniques in Corel Painter 12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls2CEf8iduU&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL0855FBB78AA1604F . Also Carlyn's book just came out: Digital Painting for the Complete Beginner. http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Painting-Complete-Beginner-Carlyn/dp/0823099369, which I also bought.
This is a great demo and book if you are like me. I have been learning this program as I go. I'm not a beginner, but I have many gaps in understanding this program, and I also use Photoshop to check color and crop before I send off my artwork or print it. Painter 12 is a great digital tool for creating traditional feeling artwork. I love it. I use it to recreate my gouache, colored pencil and salt technique on paper for children' illustration. Sadly, I have also limited myself to all of the other wonderful tools and brushes available. I'm in a self-teaching mode as I need things, and Carlyn's demo helped me easily add this wonderful pattern feature to workspace. It will be great for my next project!
Just beautiful! Soft and so pretty and the color is amazing! I have approximately zero knowledge of digital painting but I would not have guessed this is digital. She seems so wise and serene. Wow!
very pretty!
This piece is so beautiful. Your work is so elegant and soft - lovely!
- Brandi
Very cool. You have a great style and color sense, nice work!
beautiful :)
very cool. captures the mood of "lonely".
This is lovely. Congratulations on your published children's books... you're very talented.
Love it! Love the color and can't wait to see it finished. Dorothy is my favorite with that serious expression. Magical!
Beautiful! I especially love the lion!!! I love your colors and details.
very cool, I love the characters
Great characters! They are each so expressive! So much to look at!
This is so great!! I love your style, and this blog is a real find!!

I thought I would savour the moment.
I've been working to streamline my digital painting process without losing the color and texture I like with traditional painting. This is a really fun pig that has been floating around in head that needed to take flight.
Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, though I still stop by IF* each week to see what's new.
I'm not completely done with this illo, but moving forward. I have a new children's book on the way and this weekend is The STORYMAKER'S ART show in Ft Lauderdale. I'm really looking forward to it and traveling there with my good friend Loreen Leedy. You should check out her blogs! packed full of great stuff.
I'll have plenty of pictures to share next week.
(Deep breath...exhale) so much for savouring the moment.... back to drawing!
lovely way of savoring!
So super fantastic, love it!
Great pig :)
i think my favorite part is the little cardinal you put in there...
So great. Love the colours and absolutely adore that pig!
I've been busy working on a new picture book. I never really know when to start sharing what I'm working on; however, I couldn't resist making a little clip although it's unfinished. (Yawn). There's a cool breeze outside, and I think some hot cocoa would do nicely before bed.
I'll post much more of the book later. Sorry I'm not chattier.
The image was painted in Corel Painter over a scanned sketch.
Have a lovely evening, all.
Mysteriously, I keep trying to finish this illo but can't,…yet…perhaps next week's word will help me…mysteriously.
How lovely - love the lighting - it definitely has a very mysterious feel!
I like it how it is! I think that you captured the word, perfectly!
Amazing light, colors and atmosphere !
It is lovely. Is it pastel?
So magical!
Chocolate Milk and PiCkLeS :) yummmmmmmy...
Absolutely terrific! Great style. Wow, I wish I had joined IF sooner. I can see you don't post very often, and I'm glad you did this week so I could see the fantastic work. Adorable little scene.

this is a great illustration, i love the layout and your style heheh the cat is soooooo cute :D
Really great duo. That bubbly caffeine drink will certainly fuel her up.
Very cute!
Super illustration - love the tuxedo kitty!
Shhh… I thought I'd post a little "quiet" clip from my new picture book coming in March 2012, Silly Frilly Grandma Tillie by Laurie A. Jacobs.
Growing up, I shared a bedroom with my little sister and remember when Grandma Rose would come to stay with us for several weeks. Our kitchen would turn into a little german bakery and she walked one mile a day well into her 90's. To this day, I only fold my towels the way grandma taught me.
Lovely work! Your characters are delightful :)
so adorable!!!
Wow, this is beautiful! Totally love the colors and patterns, and and the terrific details. Love the critter, so unique and adorable. Probably my favorite this week!
Absolutely amazing work!!
Gorgeous!!! :)
lovely.. wonderful characters..
very cute!
this is adorable i love the colours and the cat :D
I love the colors! Also I wondered what font you use in your blog? I really like its handwritten look.
Thanks so much for the wonderful comments. Yesterday, I just recieved my advanced copies of the book. I'm so happy the way they turned out. First book fully digital art. Thanks again. :)
Who is Silly Frilly Grandma Tillie going to show up as next?
Your work is wonderful!
Gorgeous! Love it :)
very cute
Sooooo lovely !!!

On average, people can hold their breath for about one minute. The world record is 15 minutes 2 seconds, by Tom Sietas..
After a certain period of growth, hair becomes dormant. That means that it is attached to the hair follicle until replaced by new hair.
The liver is the largest of the body's internal organs. The skin is the body's largest organ.
Our eyes are always the same size from birth.
Approximately two-thirds of a person's body weight is water. Blood is 92% water. The brain is 75% water and muscles are 75% water.
Hair on the head grows for between two and six years before being replaced. In the case of baldness, the dormant hair was not replaced with new hair.

Brooks pleads not guilty to hacking charges
LONDON (AP) – The former chief executive of Rupert Murdoch's News International on Wednesday denied charges of phone hacking, bribing public officials and trying to thwart a police investigation into tabloid wrongdoing.
Rebekah Brooks answered "not guilty" in a firm voice to five charges at a court hearing at London's Southwark Crown Court.
The 45-year-old former editor of Murdoch's News of the World and Sun tabloids is one of the key figures in Britain's phone-hacking scandal. She appeared along with a dozen others, mostly former News International employees, facing similar charges over the scandal that rocked Britain's establishment.
Also in the crowded dock were Brooks' husband, Charlie Brooks, and former News of the World royal reporter Clive Goodman, who like Brooks entered pleas of "not guilty" and also will face criminal trials.
The phone hacking scandal erupted in 2011, after it was revealed that journalists at News International's now-shuttered News of the World tabloid routinely hacked into the voicemail messages of celebrities, members of the royal household and other people in the public eye, including crime victims and a murdered 13-year-old girl.
The scandal led Murdoch to close down the News of The World and spawned large police investigations into phone hacking, computer hacking and the bribery of officials for information.
Allegations of wrongdoing have since spread to other papers outside the Murdoch empire, and scores of journalists, police officials, and executives have been arrested or dismissed from their jobs.
Brooks is accused of five counts of intercepting voicemail messages, conspiracy to commit misconduct involving public officials and obstructing a police investigation by withholding evidence.
Wednesday's hearing saw more than a dozen defendants, close to 30 bewigged lawyers and a large press contingent crammed into a London courtroom.
Several former News of the World Staff, including ex-chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck, former news editor James Weatherup and former managing editor Stuart Kuttner, also denied intercepting voice mails.
Defendants including Charlie Brooks; former News International security staff Mark Hanna, Lee Sandell and David Johnson; driver Paul Edwards; and Rebekah Brooks' former assistant, Cheryl Carter, denied trying to pervert the course of justice by concealing documents, computers and other material from the police.

Now, I'm all for bringing art to the people (mind the arsonists!), and even having a little serving of corn and cheese alongside, but maybe what happened in the '80s should stay there.
Danger in the air! Danger on the ground! Seriously, is Tristan the Macbeth of the opera world? I mean, I don't want to add to our secret fears, but things are getting out of control. A little bit of ugly drama may be good for the art, but at times like these I prefer to distract myself with a happy little alternate reality.
Yes, the internet has been good to us. Music no longer needs to involve any messy human interaction—it can be pure and untouched. You can let your fans fund your next album, and then let wikipedia write the music and package the CD. Then you just distribute it to the waiting masses, all without having to kick off your bunny slippers. You can even audition for the Van Cliburn competition without leaving the house, but in that case I'd recommend combing your hair first.
Tired now? The www still has you covered. You can listen to the masters and read top ten lists till your eyes glaze over. Also, you can learn interesting things, such as how greatly Bach may have resembled Hank Hill's dad.

The other day I looked in my fruit basket and saw that I had quite a few tangelos that were starting look a little rough. I did a little searching and found this recipe using honeybell oranges, so I figured I could substitute the tangelos. I was cleverly tooling along, gathering my supplies, and getting quite excited about the recipe when I realized I had no sweetened condensed milk!
So how does one make sweetened condensed milk? Turns out it's really easy. Click here for that recipe.
Anyway, here's my take on the pie which was quite a hit at my house. BTW, I didn't do the meringue because I don't like meringue. I know, shoot me now! Anyway, enjoy.
4 egg yolks
1 making of sweetened condensed milk
4 ounces freshly squeezed tangelos
1 teaspoon vanilla
1(9-inch) pre-baked pie shell or 4 (3-inch) pie shells
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Whip the egg yolks until thick. Add the condensed milk and slowly add the juice and vanilla, and mix well until blended. Pour the mixture into the pre-baked shell and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Once the pie is ready let cool and set aside in refrigerator.
Serve with whipped cream.
