Dan Savage The Stranger And Deck The Halls, Someone had to straighten out that carol—can't have children donning gay apparel.
Says Slog tipper Nicole:
Cherry Knoll Elementary School, of which I am an alumna, is removing the word 'gay' from Deck The Halls at the children's Christmas concert. Please bring some attention to this issue! As far as I can find there has been no local press coverage, but you can see outrage from some community members at the school's Facebook page.

By Greg Shipman.
For fourteen years
in ice carved winter months
I've stared into crystal skies
that drape across Alaskan Landscape
Fascinated and eyes aglow,
I spy majestic wonderland
where stars gleam like diamonds
with hanging moon like dusted glass
From here to there and back again
my eyes dance left to right,
and ever more in painted swirls
I'm captured by this silent show
And once again
as sky ignites
the magic wand
tracks 'cross the sky
In splendid green
with yellow tint
or red or blue…
Nature's brush strokes true
And as I look in wonderment;
this magic moment captivates,
now a captained craft afloat,
streaking across electron seas
No greater thing have I beheld;
no display could touch me more,
until the day I first spied thee…
as you formed my greater sky

Paddington, Nsw Australia (PressExposure) May 04, 2011 -- One of the world's best self development experts and ranked 4th Best Business Coach in the World 2010, Rhiannon Reese is proud and excited to help the citizens of Nepal by donating water pump.
The community page, 'Water 4 Nepal', which has been developed by Jeevi the Nepalese "laughing chef", made it possible for Rees and many others to do the noble work.
Rhiannon says, "One of my greatest beliefs is that all people in the world should be able to access clean drinking water. Every time I have a glass of water I am reminded of the fact that this is actually a luxury for many people all over the world. I am proud to say that I have just put my very first water pump into kalabanger in Nepal. This will be the first of many. I am so happy to actually do some great work!!!!"
'Water 4 Nepal' says, "Hi Rhiannon thank you very much for your help, support, contribution and donation of a water pump, we are sooooo... proud of you."
Citizens of Kalabanger say, "Thank you Rhiannon for this beautiful gift, you are a true Water Angel and we all Love you"
Rhiannon Rees is also the anticipated author of "How to Climb Mount Everest I Sandals - The Courage to Live an Ordinary Life", which is written to help those who want to achieve big things and they don't recognize that they are already blessed with an extraordinary life. Perhaps achieving seemingly small goals like - the simple satisfaction of being born, going to school, having a job, getting married, having kids and growing old. Being happy and content just living an ordinary life, is not as ordinary as we all think. In her book, Rees mentioned how these ordinary appearing things are actually extraordinary.
Rhiannon's book is based on the rich tapestry of her own life experiences, it highlights her extraordinary life and contains gems of wisdom and inspiration; making the seemingly impossible things seem possible and develops a strong sense of the extraordinary that is to be seen day in and day out in the ordinary lives that we lead.
To get in touch with Rhiannon, please visit her website [http://www.lovelivingthedream.com] or email her at email@example.com

Using a Cell Phone in Japan
Cellular phones are considered a must-have when traveling to any part of the world. They keep us connected to friends, loved ones, and colleagues. It is one of the modern day marvels that we simply cannot do without.
Here are some basic facts about cell phone use in Japan:
• A "data SIM card" enables students to use Internet with their own phones as long as the phone is not locked to a carrier.
• Data SIM cards provide internet access but do not support not regular calls.
• If a cell phone is locked to a carrier, you can make use of prepaid/monthly payment SIM card services but these require a credit card and an online registration process for the service to start.
Photo by Toshihiro Gamo
• There are SIM cards available for about 3,000 yen/month that allow internet access and voice calls provided the cell phone is not locked to a carrier.
• Cell phone rental services are available but are usually expensive for students staying for 3 months or longer. Prices range from $200 to $300 a month to rent a phone.
Most U.S. phone companies provide plans that allow you to make international calls either as an ongoing or temporary service. Companies offer various plans with price plans that vary by phone model and travel destination.
Your local carrier network has to also be compatible with the country you are traveling to. Roaming maps and prices are available from most major providers in their respective websites. Check out the following links for reference:
Verizon's International Service Options
AT&T's International Travel Packages
Sprint's International Services
T-Mobile's International Services
GSM vs. CDMA Network
In a nutshell, mobile phones have two basic technologies: CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and GSM (Global System for Mobiles). It can be considered the thin white line that cannot be crossed. In the U.S., AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM, while U.S. Cellular, Sprint, and Verizon use CDMA. There is no GSM network in Japan. It is the primary reason why, for example, AT&T mobile subscribers cannot use their phones with Verizon's network.
Locked vs. Unlocked cell phones
Unlocked cell phones—cell phones that can be used with other cellular service providers.
Locked cell phones—cell phones sold by wireless carriers to be used with only their network.
*You can check with your mobile service provider for more information on using your cell phone in Japan.

A World Without Constraints: 5 Questions with Alumnus and Entrepreneur Sundeep Kumar
When Sundeep Kumar graduated from the Cockrell School with his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 2014, he had no idea that just two years later he would be leading a startup. He joined Dell as an operations project manager for their server business and quickly excelled in his role. But a chance encounter led him to leap into the world of entrepreneurship. Today, as co-founder and chief operating officer of LoftSmart, a startup based in New York City, Kumar is leveraging his engineering background to help students find off-campus housing via a one-stop-shop web platform.
In fall 2016, Kumar and his co-founder Sam Bernstein secured LoftSmart a spot with AngelPad, a startup incubator and accelerator in New York City. Since going through the program, they have raised $1.7 million in venture capital during the seed round and hired a team of five employees, including fellow Cockrell School alumnus Adi Sundararajan (B.S. EE 2013) and UT alumnus Jimi Jones (B.S. Sports Management 2014). LoftSmart currently offers student housing listings around 21 college campuses across the nation and plans to expand.
We sat down with Kumar to learn more about his path to LoftSmart and how his experiences at the Cockrell School prepared him for success.
How did you get involved with the startup?
My co-founder, Sam, started LoftSmart at the University of Virginia as a database for student housing reviews, and he moved to Austin to test the idea in a new market. When I met Sam and heard about LoftSmart, I immediately saw great potential in his ideas, and, as a UT alum, I was excited by the opportunity to help students. A few weeks later, I joined LoftSmart part time, and we began developing his initial idea into what the company is today.
At first, I was working at Dell and LoftSmart simultaneously, putting in 12–15 hour days between the two. I quickly realized that every win I had at LoftSmart felt 10 times better than the wins I was having at Dell. At LoftSmart, I was defining the route of the business alongside Sam, and that meant everything to me.
When we got the call from AngelPad that we'd been accepted into the program, we were thrilled — and shocked. AngelPad expected us to be in New York City the following day. I gave my notice at Dell, completed my last two weeks remotely, and then it was off to the races with LoftSmart.
How is your company changing how students rent housing?
Almost everyone I know has had a frustrating or downright bad experience related to off-campus college housing. For example, when Sam was in school, he signed a lease on an apartment not knowing that a freight train went by three times a day, making the entire apartment shake. LoftSmart gives students a safe and secure place where they can do everything from explore rental properties with verified reviews to submit applications, get screened, submit payments and sign leases. This year, 18 million students will spend over $130 billion on housing. We knew that if we could tap into even a small fraction of that, we could help a lot of students and also build a successful business.
How did your experience in the Cockrell School prepare you for life as an entrepreneur?
In the entrepreneurship world, you always have more questions than answers. And as an engineering student, it was the same way. The Cockrell School taught me to take the answers I do have and use them to figure out everything else.
In my mechanical engineering senior design class, I gained skills that I use on a daily basis. After our team picked our idea and decided what problems we wanted to solve, we went through the process of brainstorming, white-boarding and determining what would work and what wouldn't. It was an exciting opportunity to build and create. The experience taught me how to work with a team, where each person has different roles and responsibilities, and it taught me design thinking, which is crucial for success in a startup. As an entrepreneur, my day-to-day is as open-ended as that project was.
Being an engineering student is very challenging, but you graduate with the ability to approach and develop solutions to any problem. My experiences turned me into the person I am today — someone who won't quit and who will always find a way.
Can you give an example of a problem you've had to solve while building the company?
When we were at AngelPad, LoftSmart had about 400 listings with one or two pictures per listing. In one of our first meetings with the incubator's founders, they told us that we needed at least 5–10 pictures per listing to make the experience beneficial for students. We had two days to make it happen. Finding 1,500 pictures in less than 48 hours seemed like an impossible task, especially given the other things we were trying to accomplish. But Sam and I pushed through to find a solution. We went online and found a data analyst freelancer, who wrote a script that allowed us to pull together the pictures.
What advice do you have for students interested in starting companies?
Don't be afraid to give yourself the opportunity to do something big. Sometimes, engineers and other smart, ambitious people don't realize how much you can accomplish if you spend every day focusing on something you're passionate about. It was a difficult decision for me to leave my job at Dell, where I had great support and a strong career path. But I believed in the idea of LoftSmart. So I took a leap, and it's been amazing what we've been able to do.
My second piece of advice is to get rid of the idea of constraints. In engineering, we're often given a sandbox, so to speak, and a set of tools to work with. Then, we work to solve problems within that sandbox. But in the entrepreneurship world, the sandbox doesn't exist. For every problem you encounter, there are a million ways to solve it. Once I got rid of the idea of constraints, there wasn't anything that could stop me.

It was a sad weekend for cinema: the legendary actress Joan Fontaine passed away on Saturday. She was an Oscar-winning performer and one of the famous "Hitchcock blonde" stars.
As Deadline reports, Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland was born in Tokyo in 1917, to British parents. The highly acclaimed actress lived a long life; she was 96 years old.
started her career with RKO in films like The Man Who Found Himself and A Damsel in Distress opposite , and 's The Women. However, her real stardom started when she began working together with the master of suspense. She delivered her most memorable performance in 's haunted house classic (and American debut), Rebecca, where the ghostly presence of the deceased ex-wife of her husband (), bittered the relationship of the newly-weds. (It is the one Alfred Hitchcock movie that did win a best picture Oscar, but no best director.) The actress was reunited with Hitchcock in the next year for another thriller. Suspicion won her the Best Actress Academy Award (she was also nominated for the Oscar in the same category for Rebecca in 1940 and for The Constant Nymph in 1943.)
She also collaborated with other legends: she played opposite in 's Jane Eyre and in ' melodrama, the Letter From An Unknown Woman. She played in her last, but equally memorable big screen role as the protagonist of the 1966 British Hammer horror The Witches. Afterwards, she turned to television (she re-teamed with Hitchcock, appearing in the season one episode Paragon of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour). She was also nominated for an Emmy Award in 1980 for her guest-starring in Ryan's Hope.
As Indiewire reports, Fontaine was also known for her lifelong family battle with her sister , because the actress felt her mother preferred her older sister instead of her. She was not allowed to use the family's name de Havilland, when she followed in her sister's footsteps in becoming an actress. Their bitter rivalry reached its peak when Fontaine famously won the Oscar over de Havilland in 1942 for Suspicion. However, according to the site, the pair are the only siblings in movie history to win Oscars for leading performances.
According to THR, off the screen Fontaine was a licensed pilot, an accomplished interior decorator and a Cordon Bleu-level chef who was married and divorced four times.

Easy to program and install with very good directions and I am no handyman around the house. I checked out several other brands which had poor directions that I could not figure out, and I was about to give up on my DIY project. I even went to two electrical supply stores that had brands at twice the price, and they did not know how to install them. I installed it myself and its working great and highly recommend the Honeywell product!

Switch works great and arrived before the promised date.

A mutual fund is a collection of stocks, bonds, or other investment assets. You own the share of the mutual fund, not the share of the stock itself. The price of each mutual fund share is called its NAV, or net asset value. That's the total value of all the securities it owns divided by the number of the mutual fund's shares. Mutual fund shares are traded constantly. but their prices only adjust at the end of the business day.

Advantages

They tend to be less risky than buying individual securities because they are a diversified investment. That means you aren't as dependent on an individual stock and its underlying company. If one of the companies, you own many more stocks to protect your investment.

Mutual funds automatically give you the benefit of professional stock picking and portfolio management. You don't have to research thousands of companies. The managers are experts in each field. It would be nearly impossible for you to become an expert in all the fields in which you'd like to invest.

Disadvantages

It takes a great deal of time to research mutual funds. To make it worse, the managers of funds change. When that happens, it could affect the performance of your fund even if the sector is doing well. That's really important, because managers constantly change the stocks they own. Even if you look carefully at the prospectus, it might not reflect current stock ownership. You really don't know what you are buying specifically, so you are totally relying on the expertise of the manager.

The prospectus will warn that past performance is no guarantee of future returns. But past performance is all you have to go on. There's a good chance that a fund that's outperformed the market in the past underperform in the future. That's especially true if the manager changes.

The biggest disadvantage is that mutual funds charge annual management fees. That guarantees they will cost more than the underlying stocks. These fees are often hidden in several places in the prospectus.

Types of Mutual Funds

If you can think of an investment type, there is a fund to cover it. For example, although most funds consist of stocks or bonds, you can find a commodities fund that buys the stocks of companies that profit when oil prices rise.

Stock funds focus on types of companies. Here are some popular categories.

 Small, mid or large cap companies.

Value vs growth

Domestic, international, emerging market or frontier markets

Industries

Blue chip vs high tech

Dividend producers vs companies that reinvest all profits.

Fixed-income funds also specialize. Money market funds focus on CDs and short-term Treasury bills. Bond funds focus on types of bonds, such as high-yield, blue-chip or government bonds. A third differentiation is short-term, medium-term and long-term bonds.

Actively-Managed Funds vs Exchange-Traded Funds: Actively-managed funds have a manager who decides which security to buy and sell. They normally have a goal that guides the manager's investment decision. The manager seeks to outperform their index by trading securities. As a result, their fees are higher. They must, therefore, outperform bot the index and their higher fees.

Exchange-traded funds simply match an index. Since they don't require much trading, their costs are lower. As a result, these funds have become more popular since the 2008 financial crisis.

Mutual Fund Companies

Mutual funds are managed by hundreds of companies, who have hundreds of funds each. Therefore, most companies focus on specific strategies. Here's the Top 10 mutual fund companies by size, and their strategy:

Vanguard - Low management fees.

Fidelity - Full financial services.

American - Conservative investment strategies that long-term investment timeframe.

Barclays - Target professional, not individual, investors.

Franklin Templeton - Bonds, emerging markets and value companies.

PIMCO - Bond funds.

T. Rowe Price - No load funds.

State Street - Target professional, not individual, investors.

Oppenheimer - Actively managed funds.

Dodge & Cox - Long-term investment timeframe. (Source: Gajizmo, Largest Mutual Fund Companies by Assets)

How Mutual Funds Affect the Economy

A good mutual fund reflects how an industry or other sector is doing. Mutual fund values change on a daily basis. That reflects the value of the assets in the fund's portfolio. The economy is much slower moving, so that wide variations in a fund do not necessarily mean that sector is gyrating as much. However, if a mutual fund price declines over time, then it is a good bet that the sector it tracks is also growing more slowly.

For example, a mutual fund that focused on high-tech stocks would have done extremely well up until March of 2000, when the tech bubble burst. As investors realized that the high-tech companies were not returning profits, they started selling the stocks, and so the mutual funds declined. As the mutual fund/stock prices declined, the high-tech companies could not remain capitalized, and many went out of business. In this way, stock mutual funds and the US economy are inter-related.

How Mutual Funds Affect the Bond Market

Mutual funds that own corporate bonds have become more popular since the 2008 financial crisis. Investors that got burned during the 2008 stock market crash prioritize safety. They are attracted to bonds despite record-low interest rates.

In 2014, bond mutual funds owned 17% of the $36.5 trillion U.S. bond market. That's nearly double their 9% ownership in 2008.

That's created new risks. Many bond funds now own the same bonds. If one manager starts selling that bond, the others will do the same. The resultant crash in the bond's price would require the issuing company to raise interest rates to keep the bond afloat.

Corporations issued $300 billion in high yield bonds in each of the last three years. That's double the average annual issuance of $147 billion before 2010. When the Fed raises interest rates it could trigger defaults.

Low oil prices in 2014 are threatened to trigger potential defaults. In September 2015, 15% of these junk bonds were distressed. That meant they could default in the next six to nine months.

Many investors don't know what bonds are in their funds. A rash of junk bond defaults could prompt them to sell even good bond funds. That would trigger a sell-off that could destroy many funds.

Since bond managers own the same funds, there wouldn't be a lot of buyers for those bonds. That low liquidity would force prices down even lower. Bonds would be subject to the same volatility as stocks and commodities. Examples of that scenario occurred during the bond "flash crash" in October 2014.

Now I know it wasn't too long ago that I did a post about Lana, but truth is I'm a bit of a fan now so I have been following her antics. The latest thing to come out of the Lana world is actually rather exciting, four of her songs have been leaked online and one of which, Summer of Sam, is a sound that I've never heard come out of those lovely thick lips.
See what you think.

The best-selling author of the groundbreaking novels Under Heaven and River of Stars, Guy Gavriel Kay, is back with a new novel, Children of Earth and Sky, set in a world inspired by the conflicts and dramas of Renaissance Europe. Against this tumultuous backdrop, the lives of men and women unfold on the borderlands - where empires and faiths collide.
From the small coastal town of Senjan, notorious for its pirates, a young woman sets out to find vengeance for her lost family. That same spring, from the wealthy city-state of Seressa, famous for its canals and lagoon, come two very different people: a young artist traveling to the dangerous east to paint the grand khalif at his request - and possibly to do more - and a fiercely intelligent, angry woman posing as a doctor's wife but sent by Seressa as a spy.
The trading ship that carries them is commanded by the accomplished younger son of a merchant family, ambivalent about the life he's been born to live. And farther east a boy trains to become a soldier in the elite infantry of the khalif - to win glory in the war everyone knows is coming. As these lives entwine, their fates - and those of many others - will hang in the balance when the khalif sends out his massive army to take the great fortress that is the gateway to the western world....
©2016 Guy Gavriel Kay (P)2016 Recorded Books
"Deep Echoes of the Sarantine Mosaic"
In many ways this is a continuation of the two books, "Sailing to Sarantium" and "Lord of Emperors " although it can be listened to as a stand-alone novel. The time is a thousand years later, and the world, an analogue of the Balkans, Venice, Dubrovnik, and Istanbul is much different, of course, but there are many allusions to the earlier books. The historical "real world" aspects are rather more obvious than in the last few books Kay has written.
Perhaps, because I am a Dorothy Dunnett fan, in the beginning I feared it would tell a similar sort of story to her Niccolo series, but I quickly realized it was not so. The number of characters is bewilderingly large, but the main characters soon sort themselves out. As always, Simon Vance does a good job, but he really does not have the vocal range needed to make each voice distinctive. The pace of the writing takes a while to adjust to, as Kay has a distinctive style, just as I find one has to adjust to John le Carre's slow pacing.
In short, Guy Gavriel Kay has created a satisfying new installment in his "history" of a world with two moons.
"Immersive and Captivating"
Guy Gavriel Kay writes beautiful lyrical prose with incredible character development and captivating plots. Immersive is an excellent adjective to use for Kay's writing. Especially if you listen to the audible books. Kay's writing is rich in nuance and cadence. It is lyrical and melodic and deserves to be read by a great narrator like Simon Vance. Listening to this, and all his books is beyond a pleasurable immersive experience! Most of his books are essentially historical fiction with a quarter turn to fantasy. He takes a time and place in our world history and retells it in a fictional world. While writing an often deep and complex story, he engages the reader in the bigger questions of life.
"Rich, detailed, atmospheric, epic"
Guy Gavriel Kay's books tend to be sweeping epics full of wonderful atmosphere, detailed and realistic cultures, and believable characters. This one isn't any different! It's been a while since I read any of his books and I recall that my favorite was The Lions of Al Rassan, so I was pleased to find this is set in the same world, although many years later. The story follows several characters of different backgrounds including Danica Gradek, who lost her family to Ozmanli raiders and has dedicated her life to revenge; Pero Villani, a poor artist who is asked to risk his life to paint a portrait of an enemy ruler and use the opportunity to spy for his country; Leonora Valeri, also being sent to spy but whose path in that direction is suddenly derailed; and the Djivo merchant family, who meet, assist, and help transport all of the others and have an interesting story of their own. Many other characters besides these of course, but the story mainly revolves around these ones as they meet and separate and meet again in various circumstances and we learn about the current world and politics through their eyes.
While I enjoyed the book very much, I somehow didn't find it quite as gripping as The Lions of Al Rassan or Tijana, though I can't quite put my finger on why. Perhaps I just didn't quite identify with the characters as much. At any rate it's still a great book and a very enjoyable read, even richer if you've read the other books set in the same world, but this is also a fine place to jump in new
"Another great read from Kay!"
The story is in the same vein as most of Kays stories. Sweeping epics that are well thought out and complex. The stories tend to come together in the end with twists that make you think.
Danica was my favorite because she was seeking revenge for past wrongs done to her and her family.
As always, Simon did a great job with the voices. One of my favorite narrators in the business.
Danica again because she has that fire in her blood that makes her a very interesting character. Somebody who seems to need some love and light in her life.
I enjoyed listening to this story! All of Kays stories are worth reading or listening to. Even though this is not my favorite Kay story, it was well worth listening to.
Thank you!
He has done it again. Lyrical, touching, exciting by turns. Great to hear the tie ins with the Sarantium Mosaic.
"Guy Gabriel Kay entrances again!"
With another book in his elegant pseudo-historical of Sarantia and the Osmanli empires, which echo the drama and linguistic influence of the fall of Byzantium to the Ottomans, Kay weaves a beautiful study of humanity. I'm always amazed at Kay's economy in investing his characters with such great depth in so few words and the resulting ability to make us care for and feel the poignant tragedies and restoring victories of his band of protagonists. Kay's prose seems to just become more eloquent with each novel, regardless of the setting, and I often find myself just enjoying the insightful reflections on the scale of every human life, even against history or eternity - a deeply satisfying read that I highly recommend.
"lyrical fantasy at its best"
When language is as rich as ice wine and the story still flows with absolute purpose.
"Good, but not his best work"
I have mixed feeling about this book. I love Guy Gavriel Kay's writing and I mostly enjoyed this book. However I do not believe it is his best work and could use some careful editing. I feel like to much of this book was spent unnecessarily repeating events that happen through multiple viewpoints and he made to many pointed references to the other books Kay has written set in the same universe. I felt like the beginning fourth of the book and the last fourth are the strongest and the middle suffers a bit.
"Took a little to get drawn in fully"
Was a bit slow at the start, but once it picks up it holds your attention fully. Narration was done quite well, as always.
"A sure thing."
Kay & Vance in top form per usual. I would recommend this book to all who love a tale well told.

MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte said Monday the government supported the automotive industry's revival plan, even as higher taxes on cars were being pushed.
Duterte has asked Congress to raise excise taxes on cars to help offset a reduction in income taxes that he promised during the campaign.
"Let me take this opportunity to assure our stakeholders from the automotive industry that we will take due consideration of your concerns about our package of proposals (for) fiscal reforms," the President said after he unveiled the first locally-assembled Mitsubishi Mirage G4 sub-compact.
"We will ensure that its impact will be fair and supportive of your growth as participants in the CARS programs," he said, referring to the Comprehensive Auto Resurgence Strategy.
Japan agreed to assemble the Mirage in the Philippines under a P1.85-billion trade package that was forged during Duterte's visit to Tokyo last year.

The Fiat 500 "First Edition" that's built exclusively for the Chinese market will feature the graphics of five young Chinese designers. Only 100 samples will be built of this model. Based on the 500 Lounge, the "First Edition" was introduced in Shanghai on July 13.
All customers who order a Fiat 500 starting that day until September 15 will get a chance at a final draw to have the car they ordered replaced with a Fiat 500 "First Edition".
Lorenzo Sistino said that the beginning of the pre-order stage is a fundamental stage for the 500 launch in China. He also considers it a milestone in the joint project of Fiat and GAC.
He reiterated that the 500 is intended to position Fiat on the market as it "best expresses the values of Fiat." The "First Edition" features a distinctive three-coat pearlescent white body color, red leather interiors and it bears a special badge on its door pillar.
The model is equipped with the 1.4 litre MultiAir with automatic six-speed transmission, with an output of 101 hp and 133 Nm of torque.
He added that the 'First Edition' is representative of a symbol that merges the two cultures. Sistino said that five Chinese artists -- Leilei, Mee Wong, Benny Luk, Nod Young, and Yan Wei – were asked to interpret the two countries' relationship in a way that's creative and original.
They were also tasked to make a tribute for the 500 launch in China. The 500 will feature many versions and special series aside from 100 "First Edition" models. Fiat is expected to launch the 500C convertible and the exclusive "500 by Gucci" special series by 2012.

Blondes are some of the most sought after women in the world. A natural blonde is hard to find, especially one with a nice body. At SpankWire.com we have tons of free porn videos featuring these incredible specimens who just want to show off on camera for you. These hotties know how much men (and women) want them, and they take advantage knowing you will do anything to take them to bed. Watch how they easily seduce studs, and have no problem performing incredible deep throat blowjobs and intense deep anal sex as the guy pulls on their incredible golden hair. Their lightly tanned bodies are to die for, with luscious big boobs and incredible asses; no straight man could say no to one of these vixens. At SpankWire.com we cherish these goddesses with insatiable libidos and who can easily fuck all night long. These women know how much we desire them, and they aren't afraid to flaunt it and tease us, and we love it!

Re: Shimmer Chevron Scarf for my daughter

Thank you everyone! It is really soft and cuddly. She absolutely loves it and I was able to give it to her this morning as well as take a picture of her wearing it. She has been wearing it all day only to take it off to eat lunch

Shimmer Chevron Scarf for my daughter
Knitting: Completed Projects
on: November 06, 2007 09:10:40 PM
I decided that my family needed to be decked out in knit and crochet wear for this winter and this is the first one I've completed so far. Still have some hats and another scarf for my oldest daughter to do. I started it last week and just finished it this evening. The pattern is from
and is their
Shimmer Chevron Scarf
. The yarn is Caron Simply Soft from my stash because my 3 year old absolutely
purple. Originally it was suppose to be all purple but you couldn't see the zig zag effect so I added in some other yarn from my stash (I think it's Bernat Baby Coordinates, my Mom gave it to me a while ago with no ball band). I used size 8 needles to give it more of a softer drape.
I didn't get any pictures of her wearing the scarf because she was asleep when I completed it.
I wrapped it all up so I can give it to her as a "gift" when she wakes up in the morning.
Thank you for looking!

Crocheted Ladybug Pouch
Crochet: Completed Projects
on: October 22, 2007 06:18:41 PM
All crocheted in sc. It is my own design that was originally suppose to be a coaster of some sort but then I remembered that I was using wool yarn and condensation and wool, I was afraid that it would start felting up. Anyways, so I kept going and then decided to make it into a pouch by decreasing towards the top. It's made all in one piece and then I just folded the bottom up and sc it instead of sewing it together.
Onto the pics.
Closed up
The cutesy little ladybug button.
And then a shot to show the lining that I handstitched in with some embroidery floss.

Scarf bag
Purses, Bags, Wallets: Completed Projects: Reconstructed
on: October 17, 2007 06:21:14 PM
I've had
this tutorial
saved on my computer forever that I found via
fort and field
which is from Blueprint magazine. Being that I just moved, it meant that I (finally) found my bamboo handles and a scarf that I picked up at the thrift store ages ago. So, I thought I'd put the two to some good use and this is what I ended up with
It took me about 5 times to do the knots. I completely suck at making knots but in the end, I like how it turned out. (There are 2 bamboo handles on the purse. The other must just be hiding behind the first one in the picture.)

Market bag (with sorda a pattern)
Crochet: Completed Projects
on: October 04, 2007 10:15:20 AM
I was really inspired by the pattern over on the Sugar n Cream (ok, so the SugarNCream website is being a poo for me right now so I can't give the link for the bag I'm talking about) website but being that I lost the free pattern leaflet I got from my LYS and I don't have a printer to print the pattern out and didn't feel like sitting at my computer to read the pattern, I decided to come up with my own pattern.
Kindof a pattern. If you have ANY questions, please ask!
Ok, so I used 2.5 balls of Lion Brand Cotton Ease #194 Lime (LOVE IT!) and 0.75 ball of Sugar N Cream Cotton in Ecru (the new larger size that they have, I think it's now 3.75 oz.?) Size H Crochet Hook.
To start out, ch 6, sl st to first ch. Ch3, 12 dc into the ring.
next round: ch3, 2 dc in each stitch (24 sts)
keep increasing until you are dc in the next 9 sts and 2 dc in the next st. Work 2 rounds even, then work *8 dc, dc2tog* around, work one row even, then work *7dc, dc2tog*around and work then work the next 3-4 rows even.
Mesh stitch (this part is worked in a spiral because I didn't want a seam on this part, plus it made it easier to work the mesh stitch)
(join with the SNC Ecru) *ch5, sk 3sts, sc in next st* (when you get back to the beginning you will then sc in the next stitch) next round *ch5, sc in the previous ch5 sp* around. Keep working this for about 20-25 rows (depending on how deep you want your bag). After you finished that then switch back to the lime, ch3 and work 4 dc per ch5 sp (because the width of a dc is a little wider than a ch st you would actually be increasing, just a bit, if you put 5dc per ch5 space) Work a few (4-5) rows of dc (ch3 at the beginning and sl st to the top of the ch3 sp when you get back around)
Once you've completed your last row, ch3 and work the next 12 stitches (I did dc for my handles but you can use any stitch you want at this point). Work back and forth over these 12 stitches until your handle is the length you want it. Once you've gotten your handle to the length you want it, sl st to the other side. I then worked one more round of sc around the whole top of the purse, when I got to the other side of my handle I did bcsc (back post single crochet) around those 12 sts and continued working the other side of the bag. Once you get back to your handle finish off, weave in ends.
Like I said, if you have ANY questions, please ask! I am going based off of the top of my head for what I did for this pattern because I didn't write it down. Enjoy and thanks for looking!

Two aprons for my girls
Clothing for Kids: Completed Projects
on: September 29, 2007 06:38:27 PM
I actually made these this past summer and thought that I would post them.
I LOVE aprons and my daughters would always want to wear an apron when they "helped" me cook. I decided that I would make them their very own aprons.
This one is for my oldest and is made from a dishtowel I got from Salvation Army and some bias tape for the ties. The pocket fabric (which I'm not happy about the stitching but I'm getting better with the whole zig-zag-stitch-on-pockets thing) I got from a garage sale.
Then this one I made for my youngest. I just sorda drafted up a child size pattern from an adult size pattern of mine and stitched on a pocket. The ties I made using fabric and then I stitched on ric-rac along the edge because I didn't feel like hemming it. Plus it's a very light weight denim material (got at Walmart in the remnant bin but there was a little over 2 yds.
) When I took this pic it was not washed but now that it's washed it has a very nice frayed edge to it.
Now they both LOVE to put on their aprons and help me cook dinner.
Thanks for looking!

Crochet Hook Case (Picture Heavy)
Crochet: Completed Projects
on: September 23, 2007 02:32:43 PM
Since I've been making knitting needle cases and crochet hook cases for others I figured I should make myself one as well. I started yesturday evening and then finished up today.
The mushroom/ladybug fabric is from Etsy and then the red fabric is from my Grandmother (and when I ironed it, it smelled like my Grandma's house and I almost cried)
Moving on....................
The case all opened up with all my crochet goodies in it.
Added a little pocket to hold my yarn needles, row counters, stitch markers, and whatever else I need.
Added buttons to give it extra detail and I figured I would stitch on a head and antenna's to make it look like a little ladybug
Then on the back I added a little mushroom applique. I didn't have the right fabric for the stem of the mushroom so I used plain white cotton fabric and fabric markers to make it the color I wanted.
My stitching got a little wonky when doing the stem because I was sleepy.
Thank you for looking!

My first amigurumi - Birdie named Cleo
Amigurumi: Completed Projects
on: September 19, 2007 05:10:17 AM
I'm working on 2 other projects and the one seems like no matter how much I crochet it just stays the same size so I was in the mood for something quick and fun to make.
Yarn Stats:
I used some hemp/wool blend for the bottom (I got it at my craft store, it's their "name brand" for themselves) but I LOVE it and want to get more.
The green is Lion Brand Cotton Ease #194 Lime and I am in LOVE with the yarn. Beautiful!
Then the top is Lion Brand Wool (don't know the color, it's been in my stash for quite sometime and was leftover from another project I did a while ago)
I used a size G crochet hook to make it extra snug so the stuffing doesn't peek through the stitches. Then after it was all said and done I crocheted Cleo some little wings, stitched them on, and with embroidery floss gave him some eyes. The beak however I am not to happy with. I personally think it looks like crap. So I'm gonna try and figure out a better way to do his beak. Any suggestions?
Onto the pics............................
Cleo is sitting in my lilac bush.
Then I side view to give a better view of his cute little wings.
Thanks for looking!

Knitting Needles Case
Knitting: Completed Projects
on: September 05, 2007 02:29:16 PM
I made this case for a Flickr friend of mine. She always sends me nice fabric, cute buttons, and other what nots and our last swap we did she made little barettes for my girls.
Well, such as myself, she loves to knit (amongst other crafty endeavors) so I made a knitting needle case as a surprise for her. I told her she was getting something and to keep an eye out for her mail but I didn't give one clue as to what is was going to be.
Both the fabrics our from Walmart and I'm
because the paisley print one is out of stock. (Or at least I haven't seen it at mine).
Here is the case all rolled up with a little fabric flower for embellishment.
Then showing the case opened up with the flap covering so needles don't fall out all over the place.
Opened up all the way to show it holds both long and short needles, gauge guy, stitch holder, circulars and DPNs are placed towards the bottom.
Then it even has a place for stitch markers. The stitch markers shown are ones that I made that I'm also giving her because she loves to knit hats. So I made one stitch marker different from the rest to show where your round begins.
I'm almost tempted to keep it for myself but it's better to give than to receive. I think she'll like it.
Thanks for looking!
ETA: Sorry, forgot to mention that I didn't really go by any exact pattern. I just browsed for a case and took bits and pieces from a few that I've seen and based this one from others. (Thank you all you Craftsters for making nice needle cases, it really helped me out!

Thank you very much!

awesome! it looks like you switched the front and back post stitches perhaps? i like it that way, it looks knit.
Actually it's just turned inside out. Here is a progress pic that I took and you can see how it was actually suppose to look. I didn't like the big chunky ribbing going down it. That's why I turned it inside out. Plus, your right, it does look knitted this way.
