Here's a link to what I was working on: Things Found Vintage
You may have taken the guess already but I'm thinking about making the leap to my own site and really revving up output and become more rounded with what I sell. That's a pretty rough layout, but it's where I'm headed. I was almost thinking of changing my shop's name to something a little more creative too - the current one is a bit dull. Maybe that's just me?
I have been working on my dress again! The super lightweight cotton I am using has been pretty finicky so there have been some breaks in between progress (to accomodate wailing and gnashing of teeth.) Thank goodness the sleeves are through with, I look forward to working with a stiffer, or at least thicker, fabric. I think I've been dragging my feet about finishing because I know I can't truly finish until I get a proper buckle for the dress. Does anyone else do this? And how don't I have more buckles with the ridiculous amount of random notions I have?
Since classes have been out I have been at the gym almost every day. I cut down quite a bit during finals... on everything else but school really and so I think a few pounds snuck up on me!
Remember those girdles I purchased? They were sent on the 23rd of last month but they haven't shown up yet. I'm still crossing my fingers because they were shipped out of England and they're having some real weather problems lately from what I hear. Portland is real similar when it snows everyone throws up their arms and runs around in panic until most the city's population just huddle inside.
I've been on a bit of a shopping binge and so I'll post a few pictures of my goodies too. I need to keep it down to window shopping for a while now... A lot of the purchases were worthwhile, and all good deals (I see a good deal and my hand just reaches for my wallet automatically.)
Speaking of buys, I got some sleeves for my patterns! I'm going through and besleeving them all, finally! I think it might take a while but this means I'll be able to move them around with a little less worry. I'm also trying to order them all by date. Then maybe I'll let you see my collection. Let's just say I got 500 sleeves and I'm not really sure it's enough...

ONE of the deadliest diseases in human history is still alive -- and the countries who have it hidden away are refusing to destroy it once and for all.
The smallpox virus, long since eradicated from the environment, killed an estimated 300 to 500 million people.
The last strains are locked away in small vials inside high security labs in the US and Russia.
Both countries face fresh urges to rid it from the world. There are fears about what could happen if there was a terrorist attack or disastrous accident.
The countries are hanging onto the virus to create vaccines and drugs in case the killer ever returns with a vengeance.
But some nations and experts say it is long past time the vials were destroyed.
"Let's destroy the virus and be done with it," said Dr D A Henderson, who led the successful World Health Organisation (WHO) effort to destroy smallpox.
WHO members long ago agreed that eventually the last virus strains would be destroyed. The question was when.
But the World Health Assembly, WHO's decision-making body, repeatedly has postponed that step.
The world's health ministers go head to head later this month to debate, again, the fate of the vials.
Today, there are new generations of smallpox vaccine, and two long-sought antiviral treatments are in the pipeline. Is that enough?
"Despite these advances, we argue that there is more to be done" in improving protections, Dr. Inner Damon, poxvirus chief at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, wrote Thursday in the journal PLoS Pathogens.
And there are fresh worries that advances in synthetic biology mean it may be technologically possible to create a version of smallpox from scratch.
"The synthetic biology adds a new wrinkle to it," Jimmy Kolker, Health and Human Services assistant secretary for global affairs, told The Associated Press.
"We now aren't as sure that our countermeasures are going to be as effective as we'd thought even five years ago."
It's not clear how widely the US concerns are shared. Last fall two WHO committees reviewed smallpox research. One found no more need for the live virus; a majority of the other panel said it was needed only for further drug development.
"We believe that the smallpox research program is effectively complete and the case for destruction is stronger than ever," said Lim Li Ching of the Third World Network, a group that lobbies on behalf of developing countries and wants the virus destroyed within two years.
And the chief US delegate to the upcoming meeting, Jimmy Kolker, said a number of countries want WHO to appoint outside experts to evaluate how serious the synthetic biology threat really is by year's end.
"This isn't something that should drag on forever, and the US doesn't want it to drag on forever," he said. "We can't just ignore it."
Synthetic biology is "not something you can do in your garage," cautioned Dr Sylvie Briand, WHO's director of pandemic diseases.
But destroying the virus isn't the real issue, she said: "The real debate is what is the public health risk nowadays, and what are the response measures we have in hand to mitigate those risks."

Four Outstanding Nurses Recognized in 2010 for Their Dedication to Maternal and Infant Health
White Plains, New York | Tuesday, June 22, 2010
Media ContactsTodd P. Dezen (914-997-4608)
Four exceptional registered nurses have been awarded scholarships by the March of Dimes for graduate studies in the field of maternal-child nursing, it was announced today.
These nurses are passionate about nursing and work tirelessly to improve maternal and infant health, the March of Dimes says.
"The March of Dimes is proud to help these nurses succeed and continue their nursing education," said Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes. "We hope these scholarships will help them achieve their goals of improving the health of women and babies.
The March of Dimes Graduate Nursing Scholarship was founded in 1997 to recognize and promote excellence in the nursing care of mothers and babies. Each recipient receives $5,000 to continue their graduate maternal-child nursing studies. The four scholarship winners for 2010 are:
Amana Alcala-Moss, MN, RN, of Corvallis, Oregon, who is pursuing a master's degree in public health and a doctorate in nursing at Oregon Health and Science University. Ms. Alcala-Moss has been a nurse for 12 years and has worked as a mental health nurse practitioner, specializing in trauma and perinatal mental health. She is currently working with immigrant and refugee women from Latin American, Middle Eastern, and African countries suffering from psychological trauma. She is multi-lingual, and plans to continue work in many countries around the world, including Spain, Morocco, and Mexico as well as in the U.S.
Kirsten Hanrahan,ARNP, DNPc, of Iowa City, Iowa, who is a pursuing a doctorate in nursing practice at the University of Iowa. Ms. Hanrahan is a pediatric nurse practitioner and has a long history of activism in neonatal nursing. She has used her past positions as a staff nurse and now as a nurse practitioner in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to study methods of providing the best care possible for babies. She investigated the effects of non-washable toys on premature infants in the NICU and developed and implemented an evidence-based protocol in her hospital which resulted in decreased infection rates.
Amy Starke, MPH, RN, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, who is pursuing a master's degree in nursing, specializing in midwifery, at the University of Michigan. Ms. Starke has significant international experience, including work in the Peace Corps in Burkina Faso, Republic of Congo and India. She is currently working on a project in Liberia, West Africa, to help reduce maternal and infant mortality in that country. The ultimate goal for this project is to develop targeted community-based interventions for severe pregnancy complications. She plans to continue this international work in the service of women and infants when she completes her midwifery degree.
Leah Peterson, RN, SNM, from San Francisco, California, who is working toward a master's degree in nurse midwifery at the University of California at San Francisco. In addition to her schooling, Ms. Peterson volunteers in the "Women's Community Clinic" where she serves women with free health care. Since Ms. Peterson is fluent in Spanish, she is able to communicate with her patients in their own language, assuring that they have a full understanding of their health during pregnancy. Ms. Peterson spent two years volunteering as a doula with AmeriCorps in Denver, Colorado, where she helped largely Spanish-speaking patients and she intends to work with this population after graduating.
Qualified applicants for the March of Dimes graduate nursing scholarships are registered nurses currently enrolled in a graduate program in maternal-child nursing at the master's or doctorate level. Applicants must be a member of the American College of Nurse-Midwives, the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses, or the National Association of Neonatal Nurses. Applications for the 2011 scholarships will be available this fall on the March of Dimes website at marchofdimes.org/scholarship, or by calling the March of Dimes at (914) 997-4609. Applications are due January 15, 2011.

Beautiful Handmade Statement Necklaces and other Fabulousness from Neena Shilvock - Inspirations and Designs From the Week Gone by
Good morning people, and welcome once again, to the Caprilicious Jewellery Blog. Bonfire night went by on the 5th of November, the clocks went back for us in the UK and suddenly we are plunged into winter. The world is going to hell in a handbasket all of a sudden and although this is not a political blog and I don't tend to comment about recent events, this one's a doozy and will affect all of us, so I had to say something! To hope that four years pass by without mishap is a bit much, I think - one can only wish the world the best of luck.
Linda Jones of The Wire Worker's Guild posted a little tutorial for Christmas angels on her blog and I decided to try it out - It was freeform enough for me to make it any which way I liked and I mainly played with the shapes of the angels wings. I used up a collection of acrylic beads I had - they have a luminous core and are called miracle beads, they shine beautifully in reflected light. If ever there was a time to need our guardian angels this is it! These will look great hanging from the tree.
I spent a lot of the week making a bronze clay clasp using a tutorial by Barbara Becker Simon - I've made one of these before and my Slimming World consultant has the necklace in her collection now. This time, I had a gremlin attack, but as I was determined to forge on, I bought another wood gouge to carve the design in the clay. Of course, as soon as it arrived in the post, the gremlin tossed the other two back onto my table, so now I have three of them.
The last time I made the clasp, I funked it at the very last moment and made it single stranded for fear of attaching a piece to the back of the clasp. This time, I forged ahead with making it suitable for three strands of beads and held my breath while it was in the kiln. The kiln gods were kind to me - I took pictures along the way, and here are a few from the final stages.
Copper Bracelet
I know a lot of arthritis sufferers and some of them wear copper bracelets which they claim helps them tremendously in their fight against the disease. I think it is such a shame that no one caters to these ladies - just because the bracelet has a medicinal function, it doesn't mean it shouldn't be pretty. So, I have a little page with copper bracelets on the go just for them, and replenish it at regular intervals as the previous ones get sold. I sold the last one a couple of weeks ago, so this is the replacement, made from a design by Lisa Barth. It is one of the most difficult in the book - eighteen strands of wire are bound together with six feet of fine binding wire in a criss cross pattern. It was a lot of fun to make and I hope it affords the lady who finally wears it a lot of pleasure as well as relief from pain.
That's it for this week folks, thanks for dropping by. To those of you who played the Caprilicious Treasure Hunt, I hope you love your jewellery, and those of you who still want to play, it is open till the 14th. I've enjoyed the game, and the lady at the post office now knows Mike well from all the parcels he drops off at her counter.
Take care, and I'll catch you next week, same time, same place,
Until then
The clasp looks lovely and it made be recollect the metal clay techniques that I learnt from Lisel Crowley. I have been wearing a thin copper kada with twisted wires for many years now for better control over my nerves and over the years tried switching to prettier or chunkier ones only to realise that they disturb me when I work. so I come back to my plain old bangle everytime
12/11/2016 10:34:34 am
Thanks Divya, PMC is fabulous to work with, especially silver which is really easy. Bronze and copper are hard work as they are a two part carbon firing, and one has to hold their breath for hours before one knows what has happened to the piece. As for the bracelet, it would be nice to wear when going out, rather than at work, horses for courses, I suppose.
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

I'm Neena Shilvock, and I'm crazily addicted to jewellery. I've been designing and making quirky and interesting statement necklaces for the last five years and my passion hasn't cooled off one little bit - in fact it has got worse, such that I'm even dreaming jewellery.

While this concept has been explored on other blogs previously, several important end steps that I find particularly useful have been left out of those discussions. I would like to remedy that here, detailing an entire process for setting up the module, displaying use scenarios, and also showing the changes that this module will make to your views administration process.
This post describes generally how to create ajax paging comments, how to package the created comments into a feature, and how to override default views created by modules.
Ajax Comment Pagination
You know the biggest problem with comments? That's right, getting them to page using ajax so that users watching videos don't have to reload the page. Good answer!
So how does one go about making this happen in Drupal 6? Very easily actually. One simply makes their comments load in a view, and uses Views built in ajax to handle the pagination.

If iPhone revolutionized the cellphone industry a decade ago, then this high tech tram is about to revolutionize the future of railway. Perhaps, a reason to name it as 'iPhone on Rails'.
Uralvagonzavod, or UVZ, tank and train maker, unveiled the next generation tram at Innoprom 2014 Conference which is set to be launched in Moscow next year.
The Russian One (R1) prototype will have Wi-Fi, GPS, seven HD CCTV cameras, air-conditioning, anti-bacterial handrails and a passenger capacity of 190-270 with an average speed of 14mph. These extra-ordinary features make the tram a part of Gotham city and rightly referred with another name "Batmobile". However, the official name of R1 tram is 71-410 car.
The train is described as a crystal in a metal shell which is able to adapt into any landscape – forest, industrial zone or any modern building. Each panel on R1 tram can be used to feature ad campaigns since it is made from advanced composite materials. The base frame of the car uses 100% Russian parts.
The tram's tilt gives the driver a wider view minimizing the risk of running over a pedestrian. The distinguishable feature of the train is its lighting which adjusts according to the day and night timings to influence the passengers mood positively. During winter season, the steps of tram are continuously heated to scrape off the ice.
The R1 tram will run Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhy Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and Volgograd. A new plan to build an underground tram is also in the pipeline. The project holds great importance in Russian markets due to its rarity.
UVZ will soon be introduced to the international markets such as Eastern Europe and South America to compete with the world leaders in France and Canada.

I have long been a fan of
Christine Feehan, but because of the depths of the darkness she brings to vivid life, I have found I had to shy away from many of her series as they progressed.
For instance I cannot read her GHOSTWALKER series any longer. The vividly detailed descriptions of the extreme cruelty within the covers of these books is too much for me with my own memories, barely scabbed over despite almost 30 years of healing, to handle. The accuracy of her writing takes me back to a time I still am struggling to learn how to live beyond.
That said, however, she also can put into words emotions I cannot...and she did that and so much more with this volume of her Carpathian Series.
Dark Slayer introduces us to Ivory and Razvan...two Carpathians who have learned how to survive against the odds despite treatment that would break lesser creatures.
I was especially drawn to Razvan...a man who hates the things he's done even though he was forced to do these things by an evil beyond his ability to resist.
He hates himself, yet his honor and core strength will not allow him to blame those that cannot understand what he'd endured and remained true to his inner self. The world sees nothing but the manipulative destruction caused by him when he was controlled by another...at first.
Christine Feehan's words Razvan uses when explaining to Ivory why he understands and in many ways feels he deserves the distrust of others resonated within me.
Many have asked me why I do not hate all men for what a few did and I respond..."How unfair would it be of me to hold an entire gender responsible for the acts of a few? I would be no better than those that hurt me.I cannot hold every male in the world accountable for what my ex-husband and his minions did to me."
Razvan says he cannot control the emotions, reactions, judgments of others...all he can do is stay true to himself...not always easy when he knows the evil things he's done, but he means for that to be the Razvan of the past...even when confronted with the uneducated and harsh judgement of those around him.
My heart understands Razvan in a way I have not completely understood the Carpathians Christine has written about previously...he touched me and through the wisdom of the words Christine gave to Razvan, I cried and felt a healing light and understanding finally fill me.
Anyone who wants to understand the core of what abuse can do to another human being needs to read
I cannot recommend this book enough...but I eagerly give it
FIVE STARS and thank you Ms. Feehan for putting into words my pain, my philosophy, and even though I do not always see it, my strength.

THE DARK SLAYER by Christine Feehan

Once again, an author I follow, thank you. As for the horrors of the past, we cope with them the best way we can. Sometimes they rise up from a dark place we thought had healed. Those times are difficult but you, Ladybug, have battled and risen above many times, I think. To find some enlightement in another's words is a blessing. And so we go on.

I have read this book too and loved it. Razvan is a great hero and Ivory has an amazing ability to forgive given what she's endured.

AND FORMS OF POWER A Form of Power:
DEMOCRACY Challenging the power The American Presidential Elections
November 2013 "That's why we do this. That's what politics can be. That's why elections matter. It's not small, it's big. It's important. Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply held beliefs. And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy.
That won't change after tonight, and it shouldn't. These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty. We can never forget that as we speak people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast their ballots like we did today"
President Obama, acceptance speech, November 7th, 2012 How a democratic electoral process can give power to the people The power of knowledge is considered a threat by the Talibans.

Why would you want to learn Italian online?
Because it's easy, and
Because it's fun!
If you live in an area with a large Italian population, or you live near a college or university, you probably have access to Italian classes in a traditional classroom. But not everyone can benefit from that kind of instruction, either because they just don't learn well in a classroom setting, or the classes just don't fit into the time they have available. And, of course, Italian classroom instruction isn't even an option for people who don't live close to a venue where Italian is taught.
Fortunately, the advent of the Internet has made quality Italian instruction possible for every student, no matter where they live—no matter who they are. You don't need to have a lot of money. You don't need to have a certain level of education in order to take the class.
Best of all, the opportunity to learn Italian online gives you a chance to do something you'd never be able to do in a traditional classroom—choose your learning method. Some people learn best by reading, and these people generally have a really difficult time with language classes that focus exclusively on listening to conversations. Other people learn best by listening, and these people tend to have a really difficult time with chasses that focus on reading, writing, and spelling their new language. If you sign up for Italian classes at your local university, you probably have little choice in learning method—you get whatever method the instructor chooses. With online instruction, though, you can select the learning method that works best for you.
But with online instruction, don't you suffer from a lack of human interaction? No, not at a basic conversational/word recognition level. A simple program like Audible Italian teaches you simple words and phrases while providing both written transcripts and audio clips to ensure that you learn basic Italian thoroughly and well. With this beginner program, you won't be trying to construct complicated sentences—you'll be learning how to order from a menu, book a hotel room, or get to the airport. You can learn all the Italian you really need from the comfort of your own home—or better yet, on your mobile device, wherever you happen to be!
If you'd like to give Audible Italian a try, there's no better time! Check it out at www.audibleitalian.com, or join the Rocket Italian free trial below and begin to learn Italian online today!

Little Billy Johnson
Little Billy Johnson likes to eat glue.
Little Billy Johnson likes to eat glue.
LOL, it's like Ralph Wiggum's deformed cousin
this is great!
don't stare, but i think there is something wrong with that kid.
haha this is awesome, 5 most def.
It'S very cute! I like it a lot
Billy's left arm, since he is facing left, looks less like an arm and more like his willy ... making the glue look a lot like something else as well. Other than this ... minor concern, it is very cute, indeed.
Hrmm ... just realizing that his full name is "Billy Johnson," I do wonder if this was intentional all along and I am a bit of an ass for pointing it out ...
Nope, you just looked way to much into it, haha.
It'd be funnier if it was a real kid, not some big yellow thing.
I'll still give it a 4, it made me laugh.
ha ha ha ha!!!! nnnniiiccccceeeee!
BaLlO0NZ ChYLd EETS gLu OMGZ!1!!ONE!
am I the only one with a massive distaste for mis-shapen cartoon characters with absolutely no purpose??
duuuude!!! i love it! it totally rox my sox. you own! yay for you buddy. yay for you!
awesome :D made me laugh
if there wasn't a bottle of glue there, that would look really sick.
i love the taste of paste
Hahaha! I love totally random shirts like this. I wish I could see it on some lighter colours though--something that would contrast with the bold yellow and make the graphic really pop out. 5$
very very cute, but it took me a second to realise that it was his hand covered in glue and not his......um......
yeah... his hand covered in glue does look like something else.
otherwise, i like it.
this is so CUTE :D
that's just swell.
that is a work of art. although some one should probably help that kid....

Energy Saving Roadshow in Easingwold
6:02am 2nd February 2013
Householders in the Easingwold area can check out renewable heating systems at a roadshow today.
They can also talk to suppliers at the event at Alne Village Hall - which is being held as part of a scheme by Yorkshire energy Partnership to lower heating bills.
The event – from 10 am to 3pm – is being organised by Yorkshire Energy Partnership and Lower Swale Syndicate of Heating Oil Co-ops.
The initiative offers grants of up to £1200, say the partnership to help save money and energy by fitting wood boilers, heat pumps or solar hot water heating - especially important for villages where homes have no access to mains gas so rely on expensive oil, LPG, electricity or solid fuel to heat their homes.
Villages in the project area include Aldwark, Allerston, Alne, Asenby, Bagby, Baldersby, Brafferton, Coxwold, Crayke, Cundall, Easingwold, Ellenthorpe, Flawith, Flaxby, Goldsborough, Helperby, Huby, Humberton, Husthwaite, Linton on Ouse, Milby, Myton on Swale, Newton on Ouse, Norton Le Clay, Oulston, Pilmoor, Raskelf, Scotton, Scrayingham, Sessay, Stillington, Sutton on the Forest, Sutton under Whitestonecliffe, Thirkleby, Tholthorpe, Tollerton and Youlton.

Mobile network review: are Virgin Mobile any good?
AT THE time we're writing this review, Virgin Mobile have finally started selling 4G data plans.
It seems odd to think that the company responsible for the UK's fastest widely available fixed line broadband was until recently offering decidedly middling mobile data connections - but that's part of the problem of being a virtual mobile network.
Which handsets they sell
Pay as you go - a note
Network coverage
Virgin's other services
Customer care
They're one of the biggest MVNOs in the UK - only Tesco Mobile have more customers - but being stuck with 3G as more operators introduced 4G as standard helps explain why the company are still better known for their broadband and TV.
Now they can offer faster data - and over the UK's biggest 4G network - how do they measure up?
Virgin Mobile SIM plans
Virgin Mobile's 4G ambitions rest on just five tariffs, available in SIM-only form or with a handset.
In both cases, the SIM part of the deal is sold on 30-day terms, with customers able to move between tariffs every month if they need to.
Whether we're interested in getting a handset or not, these are the five plans we'll need to choose from:
|Calls and texts
|Monthly price
|300 minutes, unlimited
|1,500 minutes, unlimited
|2,500 minutes, unlimited
|2,500 minutes, unlimited
|5,000 minutes, unlimited
Customers with other Virgin Media services (see below) will also get unlimited calls to other Virgin Mobile customers.
All Virgin Mobile customers with one of the operator's 4G plans will be able to use the messaging parts of WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger without it affecting their data allowance - voice and video calling via the apps will still count as normal.
Even so, it's likely that numerous customers will find they suddenly have far more data left at the end of the month as a result.
If that's the case, they'll find it's added to their next month's allowance: all Virgin Mobile 4G SIMs come with one month's data rollover enabled.
Say that, whichever plan we're on, at the end of the month we have 150MB left over. That'll be added on to the next month's allowance.
But for the purposes of calculating the next month's rollover, only our standard monthly allowance is taken into account - so it's still a case of use it or lose it.
Out of allowance costs
While Virgin Mobile's approach to data usage is quite generous, we still face extra charges for sending multimedia messages or calling 084 numbers and the like - or if we use up all of a particular allowance:
|Type of usage
|Calls to standard UK landlines and UK mobiles
|UK texts
|15p each
|Calls to 0800, 0808, 0500
|Calls to 084, 087, 09, and 118 numbers
|Access charge of 45p/minute
|Picture messages (MMS)
|40p each
|Video calls
|£2 per day
From December 14th 2016, however, customers will be able to phone Virgin Media Directory Enquiries using minutes from their allowance, rather than paying £1.50 per minute.
Note that users who do go over their data allowance will be charged £2 per day every day they use data for the rest of that billing period - but they can use as much data as they want on each of those days.
There are no bolt-ons to make that excess usage any less expensive - probably because users who do find they're using more (or less) than their allowance are free to move to a different plan every month.
All of Virgin Mobile's pay monthly handsets come with a choice of one of the five tariffs listed above. The handset plans are sold on 24-month contracts, but like O2, Virgin split the bill into two parts.
That allows customers to change their usage plan as often as they when they need to while still paying steadily towards the cost of their device - and there's no upfront charge for any of the handsets they sell.
HTC 10 improves rather than innovates
The Huawei P9 - too good for Instagram
Apple unveil iPhone SE
A phone with friends: the LG G5
The Samsung Galaxy S7 and more
Virgin call their split bill system Freestyle - and like O2 Refresh, it allows customers to upgrade their handset early, as long as they cover the balance for the handset they want to replace.
At the top end we've the usual suspects - the full range of the latest iPhones and Samsung Galaxy S phones; there's also a decent selection of slightly older flagship Apple and Samsung handsets available.
At the budget end of the list are handsets from IMO and Microsoft, along with cheaper or older handsets from LG and Sony.
Where Virgin Media attempt to stand out from their rivals is that a good number of their handsets also come in packages that include a wi-fi only tablet using the same OS, usually for about the same price per month.
These phone plus tablet deals are only available with handsets that are mid-range or a former flagship at best - so at the time we're writing this review for example, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the iPhone SE are included, but the Galaxy S7 and iPhone 7 aren't.
Pay as you go - a quick note
In our reviews of the other big mobile operators we haven't really touched on pay as you go plans, but we're making an exception here.
That's because not only are the prices different, but so is the service: although new pay monthly customers will get 4G wherever it's available, Virgin Mobile's PAYG plans are still limited to 3G at best.
If customers can live with that, they've a range of slightly cheaper handsets to choose from, ranging from some almost retro looking Alcatel handsets from less than £30 upfront to the Sony Xperia E5 for around £155, and the Samsung Galaxy A series for £250.
Being a virtual network, Virgin rely on someone else to provide the signal and infrastructure their customers use.
When they launched, way back in 1999, they used T-Mobile - and when T-Mobile merged with Orange to become EE, Virgin came with them.
That means that Virgin's customers are on the UK's biggest mobile network in terms of both geographic and population cover:
|Combined 2G and 3G
|Combined 3G and 4G
|Indoor / in car
|A and B roads
SOURCE: Ofcom Connected Nations Report 2015. Available here [pdf].
Obviously that breadth of 4G coverage is only going to be advantageous to pay monthly users; pay as you go customers should find they pretty much always have a signal, but much slower data speeds.
Existing pay monthly customers wondering if it's worth upgrading to one of the new 4G deals will want to know how often they'll get a 4G signal, and how much faster it is.
According to independent researchers OpenSignal, EE's 4G network is hands down the fastest in the UK; their 3G network is just pipped by 4G runners up Three:
|3G connection
|4G connection
SOURCE: OpenSignal State of Mobile Networks report. Available here.
But before existing Virgin Media users run off to upgrade, it's worth bearing in mind that the average speed reported here covers everything from EE's standard 4G (12-15Mb) through their Double Speed connections up to 4G+, which offers up to 60Mb.
BT offer speed boosts to their mobile customers, but it's safe to assume that Virgin Mobile users will be on EE's standard 4G.
As for how often Virgin Mobile users will find themselves connected to 4G rather than 3G, 2G or nothing, OpenSignal's figures show that users will get 4G more than 67% of the time.
Virgin Media's other services
...and their other broadband
Virgin Media TV in detail
Virgin Media versus Sky
Virgin Media are best known for their superfast broadband, offering connections of up to 200Mb; their pay TV service is second only to Sky's for breadth and depth of content.
Click on the links in the box to the right to read our in-depth reviews of each service - and how they compare to their biggest rival.
The majority of Virgin Media's customers have a triple-play bundle, combining that broadband with one of their TV packages and their landline.
The readymade bundles (listed below) are the best value, but it's possible to customise - or custom build - a package so it better suits our needs or budget.
Customer service
When it comes to their services overall, Virgin Media customers report some of the highest annual satisfaction levels out there - streets ahead of all bar Sky.
If and when things go wrong, they generally seem to be able to handle complaints well enough themselves; proportionally very few complaints are made to Ofcom about any part of their operation, from pay TV to mobile network:
Pay monthly mobile complaints per 100,000 customers, Q3 2014 - Q2 2016
SOURCE: Ofcom Telecoms and Pay TV Complaints Q2 2016. Available here [pdf].
In conclusion
They may have been limited to the 3G network until very recently, but Virgin Mobile have clearly been doing something right in order to maintain their position as the UK's second biggest MVNO.
It'll take a while to see how their 4G plans fare, but the combination of price and coverage could be the key to them stealing the UK's MVNO crown from Tesco Mobile.
Virgin's mobile service has not improved, in fact it has got a lot worse - Areas that had a signal now don't. Customer services is a joke, they can save money by getting rid of it. I Will not renew my contract

Comments about Women|Outerwear|Trenches & Coats Women's Girl On The Go Insulated Trench Coat:
Really not breathable. Water resistance is fine. Wearing at any time other than in a downpour is just plain uncomfortable.
Comments about Women|Outerwear|Trenches & Coats Women's Girl On The Go Insulated Trench Coat:
This is a very versatile coat. The shell is warm enough for cool Michigan fall weather. It does a fine job of stopping the cold wind, and keeps you plenty dry if you in light to mod rain if you had forgotten your umbrella. Once the temperature dropped below 45 degrees I added the liner. The shell and liner together creates a cozy warm coat that I think will keep me warm enough during the winter on the days that are not too much below freezing. I like the longer length, the coat touches just above my knees. I also have gotten many compliments when wearing this coat.
Comments about Women|Outerwear|Trenches & Coats Women's Girl On The Go Insulated Trench Coat:
I would more call this coat water resistant, as opposed to waterproof. When caught in a cold moderate rainfall recently, the water got through to the lining in the shoulder and upper arm area. This left me feeling quite cold and damp. It is very warm in dry weather, but I would not recommend using this without an umbrella in moderate or harder rain.
Comments about Women|Outerwear|Trenches & Coats Women's Girl On The Go Insulated Trench Coat:
Living in Michigan there are times I need a raincoat when it's cold. I am disappointed in the fit of this although I love the color (Adratic blue) and the features (button out lining, hood). I have a 3 other Eddie Bauer coats/jackets all in a medium and they fit great, but this one is too tight in shoulders and probably would not fit over a blazer or thick sweater. I will probably try to order a large but am afraid it will be too big and sloppy looking. I have looked online for other options but I have not seen a comparable insulated rain coat.

Throughout Tracy Farr's novel I felt like I was inhaling and absorbing story, smoke and music. I was in the dark, dull shades of Northern Hemisphere blues and grey and felt myself sinking with her into dazzling water, lovers and nightclubs.
I really like the structure of this work, the shifts from now (1991 Cottesloe) to the progression from 1910 on. And the travelling. I grew up in Singapore (more recently than Lena Gaunt's years in Asia) and have also travelled quite widely, sometimes escaping or searching for something I couldn't quite define.
The copy I read is borrowed from the library so I tried very hard not to mark it, but p.109 I had to fold over, to go back to the concept of Tape Recorder Memory:
"…it's not pure memory, it's retelling the story the way it's always been told. There's remembering what happened, then there's remembering how to tell the story, and that's like remembering the way the music is written down, and remembering how you've always played it."I restrained myself for a while after that, simply enjoying the pleasure of reading.
The book really built for me. I was in it quickly but somewhere past the middle it was hard to put it down and get out of Lena's friendships, loves, dancing and music and loss.
"She was my grace note, my appoggiatura: she added to me, accented me, augmented me. Linked to me with the most delicate of curves, she was not quite there, then she was gone, leaving me bare, unadorned, raw, all alone again. The Italian appoggiare means to lean upon. We leaned upon one another, and when she was gone, for a long time I didn't want to hold myself up without her."As the reader I was like "the filmmaker"- interested in the untold stories, the stories that hold secrets, absorbing what Lena tells us and the things that she leaves out.
This is a beautiful book and I was fortunate to read it in a beachside setting. I think it's quite fitting that I actually finished it while enjoying a cold beer in a hot bath and when I closed it I felt a strong urge to say thanks, to Tracy Farr and Fremantle Press, for sharing a work of fiction that is as powerful as if it were true, for giving us the life and loves of Lena Gaunt.

© 2016 by SIDE TRACKED RECORDS, LLC
Prescription pills and booze binges. What-the-f**k-ever one night stands. Dying young and leaving a beautiful rock 'n' roll corpse, Janis and Jimi-style. When the XX half of the pop-punk/reggae/rock super duo says she wanted to give people a "party record," she's not kidding. But that's only one chapter in the story of Sitting in a Tree, the first collaboration between wild things Aimee Allen and Unwritten Law leader Scott Russo. Sometimes the album is the perfect soundtrack for witching hour indulgence (try swaggering leadoff track "Good Times"), but just as often it's a brutally honest sketchbook of two mirror image misfits against the world, fiercely battling false presumptions and embracing the highs and lows of love.
The self-described "beautiful trainwreck" left the station on the first night of a 2003 Unwritten Law tour in Phoenix; Russo caught Allen's opening set and was blown away by the Montana native's acid tongue and unhinged stage presence. They hung out in the bus afterwards and marveled at the many parallels that bandmates and managers alike had noticed. Agreeing that Allen's solo whirlwind I'd Start a Revolution (If I Could Get Up in the Morning) was the sister album to Unwritten Law's Elva, they immediately cranked out three songs together. Although Russo had already enjoyed the spoils of more than a decade of work with UL—including five Top 20 singles, three of which hit Top 10, and one #1—he immediately felt revitalized working with Allen.
"I love this record and can't wait for the world to hear it. I think a lot of people will be able to relate to us."
Allen and Russo were also on common ground musically. When it was time to get serious about Sitting in a Tree, they hauled their love for rock and reggae into a tornado of diverse influences. Allen's explanation is simple and modest: "We wanted to make a fun record and play music we like to listen to." ("We wanted to make sure people liked us in Hawaii so we could play beach cities," Russo counters with a laugh). The album pinballs unpredictably from identity crisis assault rock ("Miss America") to glum campfire balladry about collapsed love ("Too Fucked Up"). Sitting in a Tree is blunt force trauma autobiography, a catalogue of the heavenly ups and hellish downs Allen and Russo share together, but it's no preachy cautionary tale.
"Yeah, I was abused as a kid," Allen notes, "so what? We're all a little fucked up. The main message of this record is you're not alone—so no worries."
Clearly, Allen—who Russo accurately describes as the "black version" of sunny side up Gwen Stefani—rarely minces words. When she explains her concussive lyrics by shrugging "Life isn't a poem," there's nothing not to get.
Russo adds "Yeah, this record is very personal."
Get ready for Scott and Aimee and their full- frontal assault on the senses.
Buckling up won't remotely prepare you.

I had a surgical abortion at this clinic a week ago and they could not have been more helpful supportive non judgemental and friendly. I was in and out within an hour and everything was well explained and comfortable. I had sedation and remember no part of the procedure. All staff were very caring and treated me with dignity throughout. I will never be back to this place but that is no reflection on them, I would recommend this centre to anyone that needs their help.

A Republican senator wants Congress to adopt the winning methods of a popular video game to try and rein in government waste.
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., unveiled a budget expose Tuesday at an event sponsored by the Heritage Foundation.
The report, entitled "Wastebook: PORKemon Go," compared ridiculous federal spending programs to the animated creatures players catch in Pokemon Go.
Advertisement - story continues below
Flake said examples of government overspending are everywhere. In the report, he outlined $5 billion in wasteful use of taxpayer money over the past year.
"The end of the year brings big promises for a new year and an even bigger pile of bills racked up during the season that has just passed," the report states. "This is particularly true in our nation's capital."
TRENDING: Ex-NFL Superstar Goes Rogue, Openly Blames Goodell for Disrespect Against the Flag
As with the strategy in the Pokemon games, Sessions wants Congress to "catch them all" regarding government pork.
Among his 50 examples of wasteful and silly overspending, he reported how the National Science Foundation spent $300,000 to conclude that girls play with Barbie dolls more than boys.

From this, Flake concluded, "Our nation's most prestigious science agencies are literally playing with dolls."
Another program he listed — carried out by the National Science Foundation along with the University of California, San Diego — involved putting a fish on a treadmill. The experiment tested a mudskipper's flapping speed and need for oxygen. It cost taxpayers $1.5 million.
Other programs he listed cost taxpayers considerably more.

One example: The Federal Aviation Administration spent $200 million enhancing an airport in Mascoutah, Ill., despite it having only one operating airline.
Another: The National Institutes of Health gave $5 million to Brown University to investigate whether members of college fraternities and sororities drink and smoke more than other students.
Some argue that these expenditures are small compared with the nation's $4 trillion budget and their abandonment would not make a difference.
However, former Sen. Jim DeMint, now president of the Heritage Foundation, disagrees.

"If you are not willing to address the smaller things, there is no way you are going to deal with the big things, like entitlement spending or built-in waste throughout the system," he said.
The national debt is almost $20 trillion.
Flake's first "Wastebook" report was titled "The Farce Awakens."

The management board of cement producer Jordan Cement Factories Co (JCFC) said at a meeting on February 12, 2008 that the company's net profit for 2007 declined by 13 per cent YoY to JOD48m (US$67.7m).
The decrease was attributed to a number of reasons, including higher energy costs and raw material prices, combined with the fact that the company did not raise its end prices.
The board meeting appointed Abdullah al-Khateeb board chairman.
The company has two cement plants, one in Fuheis and another one in Rashadiyah, and has an export terminal in Aqaba. Published under Cement News

Washington Post Staff Writer

DENVER, Aug. 27
Moments after giving Charles Barkley a big hug on the Pepsi Center floor, Katie Couric bumps into Joe Biden's son, Beau, in the basketball locker room that is serving as CBS's cramped work space.
Couric asks Beau, the Delaware attorney general, whether she can see his dad, who is suddenly much in demand as the vice presidential nominee. "Tell him to give me a quick call. Tell him not to forget the little people!" she shouts, walking off.
Half an hour later, Couric and several aides are in an elevator when she spots a familiar-looking figure and scoots out at the wrong floor. "Is that Evan Bayh?" she asks as the Indiana senator chats on his cellphone. She tells Bayh she had predicted on television that he would become Barack Obama's running mate. "I hope I didn't damage your credibility," he says.
Couric is moving at a whirlwind pace, constantly mobbed, constantly interviewed, a higher-wattage celebrity than most of the politicians she pursues. The freewheeling nature of covering the Democratic convention plays to her strengths in a way that a tightly scripted 22-minute newscast does not. She is, suddenly, the "Today" show Katie, fun-loving and wisecracking, not the more sober figure who has drawn mixed reviews in her nearly two years behind the anchor desk.
"I feel weirdly more comfortable and relaxed when I'm out of the studio, which is a sanitized environment," she says. "You pick up on the energy of your surroundings. . . . It's much more like my old job. I can really loosen up."
Asked if she has anything to prove while anchoring her first convention, Couric invokes her rivals, saying tersely: "No. Does Brian Williams? Does Charlie Gibson?"
But this could also be Couric's last convention, if CBS executives follow through on their earlier inclination to replace her after the election in light of her disappointing third-place ratings. CBS's convention ratings, too, have lagged behind those of not just NBC and ABC but CNN. No final decision has been made, and Couric, while acknowledging continued frustrations, dismisses the reports that blossomed last spring as "a crazy media spin cycle that was sort of surreal to watch."
CBS News President Sean McManus says "that story got old" and that critics now focus on Couric's job performance rather than her social life and wardrobe. The conventions, he says, are "the perfect vehicle for her to spread her wings a little bit."
The flight path can be unpredictable. At the security line Tuesday morning, Couric spots Michael Dukakis, the Democratic Party's nominee 20 years ago, and grabs him for an impromptu interview. Dukakis says he blames himself for George W. Bush's presidency because he blew the race against Bush's father.
Couric later tapes a series of promo spots from a small platform on the floor, about the size of a walk-in closet, wedged between the Virginia and Michigan delegations. CBS is broadcasting from the crowded spot, far below the skyboxes being used by ABC and NBC.
No sooner does Couric finish than she is led upstairs to a CBS booth for a series of interviews with radio affiliates. "It was hard not to get choked up," she tells one of the appearance Monday night by the ailing Ted Kennedy. "The cute quotient was pretty much off the charts," she tells another about Obama's daughters coming onstage. One interviewer turns off his recorder and blurts: "I'm a huge fan."
The blur of a day seems divided among those who want something from Couric, those she is chasing and chance encounters with friends and colleagues. Barkley, the former basketball star, tells Couric that he just got a colonoscopy -- which might sound odd, except that she has persuaded him to join a cancer telethon next week that she is spearheading with the other network anchors.
Shortly before 4:30 Mountain time, she is back on the floor for the "CBS Evening News." Even with a headset that includes dual earpieces, it is an act of supreme anchor concentration to conduct a broadcast during the roar of a convention so loud that Couric can't be heard five feet away. Two minutes before airtime, she previews a question with correspondent Jeff Greenfield, telling him, "You can take it in any direction you want."
Two hours later, having changed from a gray jacket and skirt to a navy one, Couric is going over scripts for the 60 minutes of prime time -- minus commercials -- that CBS and the other broadcast networks are allotting to each night of the conventions. She looks at an introduction on head writer Jerry Cipriano's laptop screen: "I'm up here with Bob Schieffer, a veteran of 20 conventions, not counting the Shriners . . ."
"That's funny, Shecky," she says.
They turn to the setup for the Dukakis interview. Couric wants a lighter tone, noting that the hand-held camera footage they shot is "very raw and YouTubey." She dictates the new wording:
"For me, a funny thing happened on the way to the Pepsi Center today. When I was at a security checkpoint -- does that sound like I'm in Iraq? -- I ran into someone who used to be famous. Just kidding."
Couric slips behind a curtain for some last-minute makeup and blow-drying, but the floor director warns that they need to get moving because "it's a zoo out there."
Indeed, the floor is so gridlocked that aides have to form a protective cordon around Couric, moving inches at a time as onlookers shout greetings, try to touch her and snap pictures. Couric goes on the air at 10 p.m. Eastern time as a band begins blaring to welcome the next speaker, Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland.
"This is Hillary Clinton's night at the convention, though not the night she had planned on," Couric begins amid the cacophony. Things go smoothly as she and her correspondents run through a series of interviews. When Clinton takes the stage to thunderous applause, Couric turns her head and smiles wistfully, watching another woman who tried to break through a glass ceiling. She slips on her glasses and makes notes on the prepared text.
Clinton's speech doesn't end until after 11, leaving Couric only two minutes to wrap up the show. But after a brief break, she launches into a Webcast, done with Cnet.com, that seems as much about giving the CBS team a sense of staying in the game as about reaching a small audience online.
Freed from the usual time constraints, Couric seems to come unplugged. She warns former White House aide Dan Bartlett that she's about to blow him off for an actress who has just sat down on the set, combing her tousled blond mane.
"Listen, Dan," Couric says, "you really are a total hunk of burning love, but I've got somebody much better-looking here. Morgan Fairchild never ages. What is that about?"
Fairchild, a Democratic activist, praises Clinton's speech, and before long Couric asks what she is doing for fun in Denver.
"What are you doing, honey?" Fairchild asks. "Let's hit the town."
Soon Couric is chatting up two pro wrestlers, the muscle-bound Batista and the slim Candice Michelle, who is wearing the scantiest of shorts. They are pushing a registration drive called "Smackdown Your Vote."
"This is a crazy question, but you're, like, so beautiful," Couric tells Michelle. "You don't look that strong, no offense."
"She's tough," Batista insists.
What was supposed to be a half-hour online show runs 40 minutes, but no one seems to care.
As a tired-looking Couric makes her way off the floor, she is repeatedly accosted. A Dutch radio reporter sticks a mike in her face and asks if she has advice for Obama. Another man says, "Katie, you are so pretty in person," before bending her ear about how he is a former prison inmate who has started a program for ex-offenders. Then there is the man who slipped her a business card for a company that makes stools in the shape of horses' rear ends.
"Maybe we'll have him on tomorrow's Webcast," Couric tells her team.

The poetry of the extremely prolific and versatile 'Abbāsid poet Ibn al-Rūmī is examined in this book. Part 1, The Poet, reconstructs the poet's life and times providing the background for Part II, The Poetry, which traces the influences in Ibn al-Rūmī's distinctive poetic style and themes. This provides a glimpse into a rather fluid period in Arabic literary history when the boundary between poetry and prose was becoming increasingly permeable, due to the emergence of the so-called "secretary-poets," and to the prevalence and importance of the munāżarah, or disputation. Part III, The Poem, analyzes the poet's celebrated 282-line poem commemorating the quashing of the Zanj rebellion. The towering architectonics and sophisticated organization of this poem provide an ideal opportunity to explore Ibn al-Rūmī's poetic contribution.
