Bored with your reflection? One fun way to change things up is by reshaping your eyebrows. Here are five styles to try:
The Fifties Classic
If you're going for old-school glam, take one end of the pencil — we love Yves Saint Laurent Dessin Des Sourcils —to your nose tip and the other to the eye's corner to measure, and always draw no further than where the pencil reaches your brow line. Shade in a rounded arch, with the rise hitting just above the apples of your cheeks.
Eighties Strong
Go bold and shade in thick lines running parallel to your eye shape, like long, thinned-out triangles.
The Ultimate Curve
To get a medium, rounded arch, shade in an upside down "C" following your natural arch, like the fifties classic, but staying round.
Straight and Sexy
Sophisticated yet edgy, get this look by shading in a strong, thick line and dragging your natural arch out if needed, to the corners of your eyelid. Keep the tail short.
The Modern Arch
Softly angled and thinner, this is a delicate brow. Shade in an arch that rises just slightly above the apples of the cheeks and has a medium tail.
What's your favorite brow shape? Tell us in the comments!

It's amazing. Every poll says Americans favor gay "marriage", but they fight tooth and nail to let people vote on it. I wonder why?
this is why the left uses the phrase "marriage equality" thus implying a sexual fetish is the same as a relationship that produces the childre society needs for the future.
This is like using "fairness" as code for raising taxes.

Motorola's Endeavor HX1 Bluetooth headset is one of the first to include true bone-conduction technology -- at a premium price. It has a large design, but the HX1 has excellent sound quality and is well built.
Boasting built-in bone conduction — which translates jawbone vibrations into speech — Motorola's Endeavour HX1 Bluetooth headset is an intriguing device. It's one of the best sounding Bluetooth headsets we've ever used, though its voice quality in "stealth" mode could be vastly improved and it doesn't come cheap.
The Motorola Endeavor HX1 is stylish and quite attractive, though it's a little larger than we would have liked. Recent Bluetooth headsets have generally had compact and inconspicuous designs, but that isn't the case with the HX1. However, the HX1 is well presented and features a combination of chrome and black plastic, and a rubber earpiece. The Endeavor HX1's packaging is also some of the most impressive we've seen: a large steel box with a plastic front that can only be opened by turning the top-mounted lock with a coin.
The Motorola Endeavor HX1 is straightforward to use. A volume control and a power switch sit on the right side, with the call-handling button and a key that activates stealth mode on the front. The buttons feel firm and well designed, and we much prefer the sliding power switch over a regular power button. To assist users in pairing the headset, the Endeavor HX1 features voice prompts and it also announces battery status and when stealth mode is switched on and off.
We found the Motorola Endeavor HX1 comfortable to wear, but its ear bud sits deep in the ear, so its design won't suit everyone. Motorola includes two loop ear buds and two curved ones (small and large). They look rather strange but are designed to sit securely inside your ear without the aid of a hook. A hook is included anyway, and the HX1 headset can be worn on either ear.
Motorola claims the bone-conduction technology used in the HX1 is also employed by "special military forces". It eliminates background noise by relying on the vibration of the bones in your jaw for speech. It does this quite successfully for most part, though the result is that your voice doesn't sound natural — most of our callers complained that our voice was digitised.
Thankfully, the stealth mode is designed to be used only when there is heavy background noise — for the rest of the time, Motorola's standard CrystalTalk noise-cancelling technology is used. Incoming audio is excellent and in regular mode our callers had no complaints about the quality of our voice, which sounded natural and clear.
Aside from answering and ending calls, the Motorola Endeavor HX1 also handles call waiting and redialling, and can transfer calls from the headset to your phone and vice versa. Multipoint Bluetooth means the HX1 can connect to two phones simultaneously and you can place a call on hold to answer a call on the second device.
The Motorola Endeavor HX1's rated battery life is a reasonable seven hours of talk time and 10 days of standby.

Just One More...
I was saying that all day shooting these two...then I'd shoot ten more. It's not that I'm trying to fool them, or that I'm just not getting the picture. It's that they keep helping me make more and better portraits of themselves. Jay Maisel says that portraits are a cooperative effort between the subject and the photographer. K. and A. were very cooperative.

LEGO AKIRA Kaneda's Motorcycle by Sariel
Sariel is back at it with another LEGO build that I very much enjoy looking at because it's based on one of my favorite manga series/anime, AKIRA. As you can see, the build is Shotaro Kaneda's iconic motorcycle which features custom stickers as well as drive and steering controls via Power Functions. You just have to see it in action below to try and get a glimpse of how cool Sariel's version is.

The Danellians III
The Danellian in the first story of Time Patrol and the one in the last chapter of The Shield Of Time are simply different. The first is a frightening, merciless, blazing shape whereas the second is a benign humanoid. Presumably, the latter has adopted human form to reassure Everard and Wanda.
S/he says:
"'Has the universe therefore brought forth sentience, in order to protect and give purpose to its own existence? That is not an answerable question.'" (ST, p. 435)
I think that the question is answerable and that the answer is no. Only a sentient being can perform an action in order to achieve a purpose. The sun does not shine in order to bring forth life on Earth, although it does have that effect. It follows that the bringing forth of sentience cannot have been an action performed in order to protect existence. Still less can it have been in order to give purpose. That would mean that its purpose was to give purpose. Thus, purpose would have preexisted purpose. However, sentience, once it is in existence, has purposes.
The Danellian tells the two Patrol agents that they are among those who guard reality. Thus, they are Guardians not only of Time but also of Reality: "'...the Patrol is the stabilizing element...'" (ibid.), counteracting chaos. We see the Patrol operating only on a Terrestrial scale whereas this description implies a role of cosmic significance.

This reminds me a bit of the strong anthropic principle, that the laws of the universe necessarily had to be such as to enable the emergence of intelligent life, which I am not inclined to believe (although how can one be sure of the answer?). I have no problem with the weak anthropic principle, that if the laws of physics were not such as to make intelligent life possible we wouldn't be here to make observations.ReplyDelete
Regards, Nicholas
I agree: the weak anthropic principle!

Eric Ambel
Veteran singer/guitarist/songwriter/producer/raconteur Eric Ambel — known to friends, associates and bandmates as Roscoe — is the possessor of an estimable musical resume that's established his credentials as a deeply committed rocker as well as a witty and thoughtful songwriter. Between his current duties as producer, bandleader, studio proprietor, bar owner, member of uber-bar-band supergroup the Yayhoos and lead guitarist of Steve Earle's band the Dukes, he's found time to launch his own label, Lakeside Lounge Records, to redress the longstanding absence of Ambel solo product from the marketplace.
Illinois native Ambel first took up the rock 'n' roll torch in the late 1970s while attending college the University of Wyoming, where he formed the punk combo the Dirty Dogs, who released the cult-classic single "Sorority Girl" before changing their name to the Accelerators and relocating to Los Angeles. In L.A. the Accelerators recorded and released an EP called "It's Cool To Rock" produced by Danny Holloway (Plimsouls, Bob Marley), then after playing with Rik L Rik and Top Jimmy he began a two-year stint as lead guitarist in Joan Jett's original Blackhearts, touring extensively and playing on her "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" album. He exited in the early '80s to co-found the gritty New York foursome the Del-Lords, which also included ex-Dictator Scott Kempner and future Cracker drummer Frank Funaro, which released four highly-regarded studio albums and helped usher in the '80s roots-rock mini-boom.
While still a member of the Del-Lords, Ambel launched Roscoe's Gang, which began as an informal side combo but soon evolved into a serious vehicle for his songwriting skills and his less-is-more rock 'n' roll philosophy. That outfit's maverick spirit survives in its current incarnation, the Roscoe Trio. Meanwhile, Ambel built a prolific career as producer, overseeing albums by the likes of the Bottle Rockets, the Blood Oranges, Nils Lofgren, Freedy Johnston, Blue Mountain, the Backsliders, Go to Blazes, Tammy Faye Starlite and Mary Lee's Corvette.
Joe Flood
Playing a variety of stringed instruments, Joe Flood delivers original material in what Karen Schoemer in the New York Times called "a gravelly voice that perfectly straddles the fence between country and the blues." His songs inhabit a place where folk and blues roots meet the craft of Tin Pan Alley and the soul of the street. They have been covered by artists as diverse as the New Orleans style jazz band The Flying Neutruinos and Alt Country Chanteuse Laura Cantrell. His individual style has made him a favored co-writer of Levon Helm of the legendary group The Band as well as producer/guitarist Eric "Roscoe" Ambel.

A contingent of northern rivers farmers has delivered bags of manure to the office of Lismore MP Thomas George, and are now on their way to Nationals campaign office in Ballina.
Kyogle farmer Peter Stackhouse told media outside Mr George's office that farmers were sick of the 'bullshit' coming from the Nationals regarding the government's coal seam gas policy.
'Good farming country around Lismore, Kyogle, Nimbin, Coraki, out west past Urbenville and right down to Maclean will all be up for grabs,' he said.
Today's protest follows news yesterday that the biggest drilling company in Australia, AJ Lucas, has purchased the largest gas licence in the region, PEL 445.
Bentley farmer Peter Nielsen said farmers were sick of the Nationals' weak policies on CSG.
Mr Nielson said the purchase by AJ Lucas made it more likely that northern rivers communities would be facing the spectre of a gas drilling invasion if the Liberal/National government was returned to power.

University Student Research Society is a body of student self-government, created to realize undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students' leadership, creative and research potential and involve them in research programs run by the University.
The history of various student research groups and societies goes back to the 1820-s when they became an important part of the University life. For the following 100 years students' research activity would change its forms though never cease. In 1936 the University organizes Student Research Society as a centralized center for coordinating the activity of undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate student research groups and societies. This was one of the first organizations of the kind in the former USSR. The first head of the Society was B.M. Krasovytskyi, who would later become Doctor of Sciences (Chemistry), Full professor and Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. In 2004 Student Research Society was reformed and it acquired its present day structure and functions.
Today the Society is a body governing the activity of 19 School Student Research Society. The Society members are students, who are engaged in research activity at the University Departments and Schools, they initiate and organize national and international research conferences, forum for young researchers, actively participate in conferences, competitions and grant programs, work in research groups promoting information among students, take an active part in social life.

True racial reconciliation can never be evident until there is equality in the church hiring process. From my experience as a African American in the CRC I have noticed most people of color are called to plant a church or they are called
to pastor a declining ministry that know one else will except. Regardless of our education or ministry experience very few established churches in the CRC will ever call a black man to lead their congregations. In cases where black men were called to lead a CRC church most of the White people departed from the congregation.
If this is the case how can we truly become a denomination where true racial reconciliation is prevalent? If we cannot be hired in these churches than the denomination should provide the necessary support and resources for Black churches to exist and thrive in the CRC.
Most importantly churches and departments within the denomination should be honest with candidates if they are not interested in hiring a person of color. These are the issues the office of social justice and racial reconciliation should be working on.

Less famous and dramatic than his British rival, Joseph Turner, John Constable preferred the humble English countryside of his native Stour Valley. In his humble rural paintings, Constable captured his "careless boyhood" on the eve of the Industrial Revolution and froze these scenes in a nostalgic time, creating a much-loved "Constable Country." Compared to Turner who faced change, Constable turned away and retreated into the past of his boyhood. Even though his carefully delineated and detailed depictions of the Stour Valley, Constable often painted from memory as much as from observation. "Constable Country" is a elegy to a golden past that may have never been.

"What to Study for and How to Prepare for the Police Officer Academy from a Recent Recruit Prospective"
I found this article written by a recent graduate of the police academy and I thought this article was just fitting since I get daily emails concerning the police academy and what it's like. A police academy study guide will help you immensely as well but this writer really nails it on how to prepare yourself physically as well as mentally…Enjoy!
As a recent graduate of a certified police academy, I often get asked by people interested in attending the academy what it is like and how best to prepare. Well, going through the police academy is an intense, stressful, eye opening, and rewarding experience. Trust me, by the time you are done you will be a different person. I mean this in the best possible way of course. Since the academy I have noticed that I am more driven, dedicated, and able to accomplish difficult tasks in my life. Making sure you are prepared for this experience will not only ensure success with your time at the academy but it will greatly reduce the level of stress you experience. If you follow the tips in this article I can just about guarantee you will sail through the academy. Be proud that you have decided to take this route in life, the career of a police officer is a very rewarding one and the first step to those rewards is successful completion of the police academy.
Tip 1: Become Addicted to Working Out
Now I know "addicted" is a strong word to use here, but I mean just that. Get used to working out often. The academy has a physically intense workout program and being used to working out before showing up the first day will make a world of difference. I suggest starting a few months before the academy begins (if not earlier) and get used to working out five days a week. Concentrate on cardio as this seems to be what the academy concentrated on the most. Start waking up an hour earlier each day and going on a run, then come home and eat breakfast afterwards. Power through the first two weeks of this schedule and it will become your morning routine. It honestly becomes like a cup of coffee in the morning, it's what gets your day started. Before you know it, you'll be seeing improvements in your time, speed, and effort you need to put forth to finish your run. Start with a one mile run, then add a half mile or so every 3 running days.
Consistency here is key, no excuses on why you can't run today. That will not fly at the academy, so don't train the way prior to the academy. At the academy we got up to about a six mile run near the end. This is very doable; don't underestimate how our bodies can adapt. The human body is amazingly flexible and adaptable to whatever demands are put on it. It's just up to you to consistently put the demands on it and you will see improvements. Your body is a tool, use it and make your time in the academy physical training program a breeze.
Tip 3: Shoot a Gun
I say this because the academy I attended trained us for about a day on the shotgun and then we had two days of testing. Now tests at police academies typically are the largest reason why people leave the program. This is because if you don't pass the first time you have one chance to try again (at most academies) and if you fail again you are removed from the academy. So these tests have a lot of weight on your overall success and the small amount of training you receive for the weapons doesn't cover the amount of testing. Our class lost two good recruits just because of the shooting tests. You don't have to shoot so much that you are an expert shot, just enough to where you are comfortable with a firearm. Practice both the shotgun and handgun. Most academies train with the Remington 870 (12 gauge) shotgun and Glock 17 (9mm) or Glock 22 (.40 cal) handgun.
Tip 2: Teamwork
Teamwork is what will get you through when all else fails. Most academy classes will have an orientation day or something similar where you go and learn about what to expect. Your classmates typically are there also. Make as many friends as you can and swap phone numbers even before the first day of the academy. Trust me, you will be calling each other to figure out how to get through different things at the academy during the whole course of your time there. Often times, the items you need to gather prior to the first day can be a little complicated so having a friend to call and remind you is invaluable. Once the academy begins, make sure your class develops a sense of teamwork right away. If you do, far less people will drop out before the end.
Tip 4: Get a Daily Planner
Throughout the police academy, and especially the first few weeks, you are given a lot of paperwork to have done and a lot of different dates they are required to be submitted by. If you forget about one of these required items it can result in removal from the academy. That is why I strongly suggest you show up to orientation with a daily planner and pencil always close by and ready. Use it daily, always check the planner when you get home each day and see what needs to be done for the following day. This has saved me on many occasions.
Tip 5: Reduce or Eliminate All Outside Stress Factors
Get your personal life in order before you attend the academy. Any police academy will take a lot out of you mentally and you really shouldn't have anything else in your life to worry about. Take care of any family issues, wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend issues, and financial issues before attending at police academy. Make sure everything in your life is as predicable and stable as possible. This sounds like a small thing but trust me, it will make the biggest difference in your success at the academy. This is probably the most important tip I can give you. You will need to absorb yourself in penal codes, case law, defensive tactics, firearms, policies and procedures. There just won't be any time for distractions.
Finally, just remember to apply yourself. From what I have seen, the recruits who really applied themselves and became absorbed in the police academy did fantastic. The recruits who tried to go out partying at night and come back the next day struggled the whole way through (if not dropped out completely).
Oh, and expect some hazing when you first start. Just think of it as a game. They try to stress you out as much as possible by doing anything possible including hazing in the beginning. Just remember to play their game the way they want you to. You'll be done and out of the academy before you know it and they'll still be there. You'll win. Good luck.

Gary, Indiana: City of SteelAdd to Lightbox Download
Pictured is an overpass near the U.S. Steel plant in Gary, Indiana. The Environmental Protection Agency is currently suing U.S. Steel Corp., alleging violations of the Federal Clean Air Act. The city of roughly 80,000 was founded in 1906 by the U.S. Steel Corporation as the home for its new plant. But in the 1960s Gary's fortunes, so closely linked to the steel industry, took a downturn. Businesses closed and the crime rate spiraled earning Gary the infamous distinction of "Murder Capital of America." (© William B. Plowman/Redux)

Unanswered: SQL2K: Event Log File Size / Rotation
I have a SQL Server that generates a reasonable amount of log data in the SQL Event logs. I'm finding it difficult to use this data as the individual log files become rather large i.e. several hundred MB before they rotate.
What I would like to achieve: Set a constraint like: Each log will rotate when it reaches [XX]Mb in size and the files will be kept through [Y] rotations.
I can't seem to find how to do this through Enterprise Manager. I've had a decent look through google and there seems to be no info on this forum....can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for your time.

sp_cycle_errorlog will be your friend in this effort. You will have to do some work to get the file size of ERRORLOG, maybe by using xp_cmdshell to get a directory listing of the files in the LOG folder of the SQL Server data directory.
Or you could choose to recycle the ERRORLOG on a periodic basis. Once a week works for us. I have it scheduled thru SQLServer Agent.

Benzene Monitors (C6H6)
Showing all 2 results
Air check Advantage Ex Benzene Monitor
The Air check Advantage Ex Benzene Monitor is a compact, extractive continuous gas monitoring system designed to monitor in hazardous areas. The system uses our proprietary disposable electrochemical sensor cell combined with a long life pyrolizer to provide extremely sensitive Benzene monitoring. Unlike traditional LEL solid-state detectors, the Air check Ex pyrolizer technology is extremely sensitive and capable of detecting TLV parts-per-million concentrations of Benzene without being affected by humidity or other environmental conditions.
Air check Advantage Benzene Gas Monitor
The Air check Advantage Benzene Gas Monitor is a compact, extractive gas monitoring system that's ideal for continuously and remotely monitoring gas cabinets, process tools, scrubber systems, and other areas where maintenance access may be limited or undesirable. Featuring a long life pyrolizer and sample pump, this reliable hazardous gas detection system significantly reduces the labor and downtime commonly associated with gas detector maintenance and service.
The instrument's "smart" circuitry continuously monitors sensor cell status and sampling system performance. Continuous sensor cell operation is transmitted via 4-20 mA signal to PureAire controllers, PLC's or remote alarm systems. Should a system error occur, the Air check Advantage outputs a 2 mA signal to remote alarm/control systems to immediately alert control room personnel.
The heart of the system is a smart renewable sensor cell linked to a compact pyrolizer. Sample is drawn through the pyrolizer where Benzene is thermally decomposed and converted into another gas that is more easily detected electrochemically. Unlike competitive Benzene detectors, which measure at the percent LEL levels, the Air check Advantage measures at the PPM levels.

"Since 2005, the Bank has undertaken significant regional expansion and has the fourth largest coverage among the top 15 Arab banking institutions in the MENA region with operations in 13 countries. As a result of this regional expansion, an increasing percentage of the Bank's assets are contributed by its operations outside Lebanon. Management intends to continue to seek growth opportunities both in Lebanon and abroad over the medium term," states the website of the Bank Audi Group. This expansion drive has brought Bank Audi, via our partner RedHat, to TMNS.
Bank Audi strongly believes that if they want to keep their competitive advantage, they need to implement DevOps. They believe that DevOps will help them to quickly evolve and offer client focused solutions. TMNS was asked to analyse the current software development process and advise on how to improve it. In a workshop Gert Jan van Halem, senior consultant at TMNS, explained the meaning of DevOps to the IT department of Bank Audi Lebanon.
Gert Jan: "DevOps shares some key principles with LEAN, which is a method for optimising business processes. LEAN was founded by Toyota and works very well for mass production. In mass production, products are continuously built exactly the same way. So what Toyota thought was: how can we optimise our production process to make it faster and more cost-effective? However, in software it's quite the opposite. As a software developer you develop products that are unique, which will also be changed over time. But, we can still take the lessons we've learned from Toyota and apply them to software development. That is where DevOps comes in."
How to fold 14 paper planes in 7 minutes
The group was divided in team of seven. Their task: folding 14 paper airplanes in 7 minutes. Every team got three chances to get it right.
Gert Jan: "I have never seen people who are as competitive as the Bank Audi IT team. They worked really hard to get the airplanes done on time. The first round was total chaos. After the evaluation, the teams made some changes to improve their development process. The second round they managed to fold about 10 airplanes. After another evaluation and explanation about the key lessons learned from LEAN they got their last chance. Now the teams succeeded. There was total concentration and total silence. The teams folded around 20 airplanes in the same seven minutes. So not only the process changed, instead of having to run around in chaos they managed to work faster in total silence. One of the most important lessons that I taught them is to work in a pull fashion, instead of pushing your product. Only when their colleague asked for a paper plane, it would be produced. That little change already made a huge difference in the speed of the process."
The DevOps workshop was part of the consulting services TMNS provided to Bank Audi. To further support Bank Audi in their journey towards becoming a DevOps organisation, TMNS is currently educating a Scrum team and providing coaching services regarding the automation of the development process.

Hi everyone - my name is JJ. I currently live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area in TX. I just read Winston Wu's story last night, and a lot of it has really resonated with me.
I've always felt like a misfit in American culture, even though I am a native-born US citizen. I was born and grew up in Colorado (beautiful place!) and moved to TX for the cost-of-living advantage over most of the country.
Like many people on this site, I was pigeonholed as a nerd and have suffered all the social stigma that comes with it. Not surprisingly, my dating life was slow (more like non-existent) during my teenage and college years.
Unlike many people on this site, I tend to fit in with a more liberal and progressive crowd. This is because a true progressive believes in treating the people disliked by society well. As a nerd/misfit, I'd rather cast my lot with those who support human rights, even for the people we dislike the most.
I have mixed feelings about feminism. As a human rights issue, I believe that women should receive equal pay for equal work and have the same legal rights and responsibilities as men. But I can't stand all the man-bashing from the feminist community - the vast majority of guys do not deserve the bad rap they are getting!
What's driven me to this site is that I realize that the whole social and dating culture in the USA is BROKEN. What really resonated with me about Winston Wu's story was that I tried many of the same things he did, yet remained as dateless as ever:
- Worked out with a trainer twice a week, did 45 min. of cardio an additional 4-5 times a week, and stuck to a low-carb diet for a year. I lost 45 lbs. (YES!) but still no one found me attractive. I could stand to lose another 20 lbs., but I wouldn't hold being 20 lbs. overweight against anyone I really liked.
- Spent over $10K on therapy, coaching, and antidepressants to improve my outlook on life. Of course, I followed the advice from the experts to a "T." I am much less shy, much more outgoing, and like myself much better now, but no one else seems to notice.
- Tried several social clubs, a country/western dance class, and a church singles' group. I got one date out of the country/western dance class, but the church group was a disaster! I saw every bit as much gold-digging and snobbery on display there as on the sample online profiles on this site.
- Got the same well-meaning (but ineffective) advice from friends and acquaintances: You're trying too hard, you're not trying hard enough, you should try a new group/activity, you need to brush up your PUA skills, you need to be patient, you need to lower your standards, you should raise your standards, etc.
After 25 years of loneliness, rejection, struggle, the best help I could afford, and finally Winston Wu's story, I've finally concluded that my dating woes are not my fault, but in fact a symptom of the BROKEN dating culture in the good ol' USA. An intelligent and sincere guy should never have to "get game" to get a date! Seeing that these problems happen to other intelligent people is like having a heavy burden lifted off my shoulders.
I've always enjoyed traveling. So far, I've only been to Canada (Vancouver Island) and Mexico (Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta), but I'd like to visit Mexico (again), South America, Ireland, the UK, Scandinavia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
If I decide to stay someplace longer, I'd like to find a place abroad with a cool climate (think San Francisco or Seattle) or at a high altitude (think Denver or Colorado Springs). I am aware that some major Latin American destinations (Guadalajara, Mexico City, Quito) are above 5000 ft (1524 m) and have year-round springtime weather (65-75 F / 18-24 C).
I haven't decided what to do yet (visit some other countries, reconnect with my hobbies, or embrace being single), but one thing is clear - it's time to ditch the guilt and self-doubt and truly do something new!

Jack Schwager Starts his Own Commodity Trading Firm

Volume Two, No. Four
Jul/Aug 1995
The Wizards Cast A Spell
By Tom Girard
Not everyone can make Jack Schwagers Market Wizards honor roll, but several bona fide wizards gathered together to share a few tricks about the magic of trading.
So many tough market decisions. So few wizards. Three dozen in all - wizards that is. At least thats how many were knighted by Jack Schwager in his pair of "Market Wizards" books.
Schwagers incisive interviews have become must-reads for many investment pros and amateurs alike - each eager to learn if these few had deciphered a portion of the Grail.
Even technical analysts, the generally austere diagnosticians who rely on bar charts, oscillators and other graphic indicators, find it alluring to gauge the wizards wisdom.
The prospect of getting a few of Schwagers chosen together sparked the imagination of the Market Technicians Association which counts 1,000 member. So, the nations premier technical group heralded "Market Wizards" as the theme of is 20th annual seminar in Las Vegas this Spring.
Although they gathered in the casino capital, the technicians eschewed the local action - nestling off the Strip at the Alexis Park Resort, where theres no gaming and the feel is more Sarasota or Scottsdale.
A casual but serious atmosphere prevailed at poolside breakfasts and sessions in the hotels Zeus Room. Nearly 200 would-be wizards came to hear Jim Rogers, Vic Sperandeo, Linda Bradford Rashcke, Howard Seidler and Charles Faulkner, and five others.
Who better to keynote the even and share wizard anecdotes than Schwager himself, whos out to prove that he, too, qualifies as such a luminary. (See "Is this Man a Wizard Too?," p. 23)
The common element among those I interviewed was that they all love what they do." Schwager conveys comparable affection for his adventures on the trail of market wizardry. "If there was one surprise, it was the immense spread in the types of approaches people use. A method is critical. They all have very specific methods they describe very precisely."
Drawing upon material mostly familiar to his readers, Schwager recounts the "one momentary lapse of discipline" that cost wizard Randy McKay $7 million on a currency position. Another became a winner when he "learned it was okay to lose." One supertrader bluntly predicted that most market players do worse than random "by following their own opinions."
Ah, the value of opinions - the very heart of the matter on this occasion. "You cannot get ahead listening to other peoples opinions, even if the people youre listening to are world-class traders…its just an opinion," Schwager warns.
Okay, fair enough. But shouldnt a portfolio manager or pit scalper or upstairs trader adopt some of the wizards ways? Says Schwager, "Youve got to find your own way. Theres not a specific answer. Youve got to trade your own personality."
Enter five distinctive personalities, whose opinions address the worldwide context, technical configurations and psychological challenges of trading.
The Globe Trotter
His personality is a whole lot bigger than his bow tie. His public demeanor also features an unmistakable Alabama-country-boy-goes-to-Wall-Street-and-then-all-over-the-world-on-a-motorcycle charm. Using maps and photos from his investment biker travels, Jim Rogers presents global views in a manner one CNBC colleague has dubbed "geo-nomics."
Central Europe: "Its going to be an economic, political, military and social disaster area. What you see in Yugoslavia is the beginning to happen in Central Europe. Dont put your money in Central Europe."
The Former Soviet Union: "Youre going to have that empire break up into 50 or 100 states. Youll see hyperinflation. Its like feudalism again. Everybodys trying to get what he can."
China: "The 21st Century is going to be the century of China. In the year 2020 China is going to have the largest economy in the world. Capitalism is running amok in China right now. They work very hard, they save and invest, and they educate their children. (But) youre about to see a period of political and economic turmoil."
Japan: I dont have any investments in Japan - long or short. They have serious problems. Theyre going to have to start running a deficit."
Australia and New Zealand: "They are gigantic natural resource-based economies. They know their future is in Asia, which desperately needs their resources. New Zealand has one of the four or five most soundly managed economies in the world."
With his usual self-denigrating humor, Rogers labels this verbal globe-trotting "the ramblings of a demented mind." He also calls himself "a simple trader," a phrase reminiscent of the late senator Sam Ervin jocularly claiming to be "just a country lawyer."
Now, back aboard the bike…
Africa: "The economies are much freer than just about any economies in the world right now. Africa also has vast natural resources."
Latin America: "The 500 million people South of the Rio Grande are mostly the same religion and speak the same language. Chile is the best managed economy in the Western Hemisphere. Teach your children and grandchildren Chinese and Spanish."
Other Emerging Markets: "There are going to be some more shocks."
Back Home: "Im net long U.S. stocks and bonds but I dont think Im going to be much longer. The bubble is coming to an end. In my view its going to end sometime (by) August. All the signs of excess are there. Theres a mutual fund mania in the land the like of which Ive never seen.
"Its the official policy of most U.S. Democrats and Republicans to devalue the currency. They think that will help us be more competitive, and win their next election. Sell your dollars. Its going to get a whole lot worse as far as the currency is concerned.
"Natural resources are making a base and setting out for the next bull market and paper assets are making a top. Im not bullish on gold. Its not going to be the great inflation hedge of the future. This inflation is real and its coming back big."
New Market Realities
Wizard Vic Sperandeos style couldnt be more different than Rogers, but his message is similar.
New York bred and Street wise, Trader Vic is crisply tailored in double breast and French cuff, and presides at the rostrum like a captain on the bridge.
These days Sperandeo is in transition - from stocks to futures, and from New Jersey to a home base of Dallas. Hes adjusting to the world around him and chooses a chameleon metaphor to begin his presentation. If Schwager were to do his book again, Sperandeo muses, "Id say make me a lizard" rather than a wizard.
Like Rogers, Sperandeo believes the stock market is about to burst. The collapse lies just ahead, he forecasts, because the nations huge debt cycle is ending as the Federal government tries to reduce deficits.
"Corporate America has benefited from debt. Any time you created more money, those dollars wind up in corporate hands." The efforts to balance the U.S. budget will create "flat to declining earnings" and thus lower equity values.
Concentrating these days on trading 42 futures markets through his commodity trading advisor firm, Hugo Securities, Sperandeo urges his audience to hedge five to 10 percent of their via managed futures. "Inflation is going to come back. Im setting myself up to participate in an inflationary environment. I expect to see the greatest move in commodities in the last 100 years." Besides employing futures for inflation plays, Trader Vic promotes them as an antidote to the marginal tax rate of 39.6 percent on stocks versus 32.6 percent on futures contracts.
As for his own trading techniques, Sperandeo tells the MTA: "Think risk control 100 percent of the time. I usually take a lot of small losses but not usually big hits in one trade. Technical analysis is less important to me than sentiment and cash flows."
Sperandeo downplays indicators since he believes they do not generally help determine "When you add to and when you get out of" positions.
Getting Technical
This wizard packed her charts for the trip from New Jersey, but Linda Bradford Raschke, "a devoted student of technical analysis," also touts a trading system that originated back in the pad and pencil days.
Now managing $30 million as a CTA, this former floor trader of equities and equity options presents her models for gauging price behavior.
"I would say still 90 percent of my trading and my systems tend to be based on some type of momentum principle. The reason is that momentum to me is one of the very leading indicators," says Raschke, to gauge the rate at which price movement is changing. "Momentum is the best tool Ive found that serves me."
Interpreting the "Squiggly lines" on her big-screen computerized charts, Raschke shows how momentum comprises the essence of the "Critical Day Index" and "Impulse Meter" shes developed with Oregon-based research guru Steve Moore. Their LBRMoore Trading Co. cranks out a daily fax service based on these approaches, which measure volatility through contractions in momentum indicators. The idea is to define setups that presage market breakouts.
"Volatility is so much more cyclical than price," Raschke believes. "You can use volatility to get an edge on price direction. So many times trends begin out of equilibrium levels. They dont begin out of overbought or oversold types of markets. They begin from a very neutral point. And thats why trends tend to sneak upon people. A lot of the work weve done shows that 80 percent of a trend occurs in 20 percent of the days."
The home-based trader also reviews some of her other attempts to convert the past into prologue, specifically via artificial intelligence. "Neural nets absolutely are a valid tool as pattern classifiers. But they are not necessarily great for predicting a directional outcome or to use as a primary trading tool. Its also difficult to incorporate money management algorithms into them."
Notwithstanding sophisticated forays into crunching historical data, she is most devoted to the Swing Trading technique that was detailed in a book by George Douglass Taylor. "I still consider it my Bible," Raschke says.
She describes the three-day swing rhythms from highs to lows: "You have your buy day, your sell day and your sell short day. Activity around the previous days high or low tells you 10 times more about the market than any little technical indicator."
Ultimately, Raschke believes a traders approach may be dictated by how many markets must be tracked. Dozens to thousands require mechanical thresholds while following a few allows time for the "art" of chart reading.
Be A Seeker of Truth
A rather philosophical seminar topic is chosen by Howard Seidler, the former Turtle turned CTA. Based in the Ft. Lauderdale area, he characterized himself as "one of the often maligned trend followers." Seidler managed $14 million but is down from several ties that amount following his solo startup in 1988. Perhaps trading setbacks since the lofty inclusion in Schwagers work have given this technical trader his reflective orientation.
On the nature of knowledge: "Make it a habit to think critically and clearly. Start with an open mind. Challenge the conventional wisdom; Challenge all assumptions."
On contrarian thinking: "Always question things. Realize theres a possibility that things are different than people assume. Be an independent thinker. Make your own decisions and rely on yourself."
On thought experiments: "Create practical tests. Think through the things you can analyze that allow you to be more systematic, that allow for tests to see how things worked in the past, and to make educated guesses about how to bet in the future."
On a scientific approach: "make an honest attempt to disprove ideas because a lot of knowledge can be gained in disproving ideas. It might be difficult to do but you might find a break there. You might create a wonderful system. It looks great. Then you go back and say, 'now Im going to make an honest effort to disprove it. Im going to try to find a way to shoot holes in it. And you might not. And thats great because now maybe you have something to work with. Yet you might find something you missed before and thats going to keep you out of a lot of trouble."
Did he say this? "Remember that this all made up. Whether its a structured view in analyzing the fundamentals or your technical model, its all made up. And I would argue it is far more important to do quality work than to pick one magical approach over another."
Where does this leave us? "What you want is something simple that actually captures some really good insights. And it may have started with a complex idea but if youre going to use it you better boil it down to something fairly simple so you can grasp it and you can operate with it."
And, finally: "Ultimately, persistence is really crucial. Make a game of it. Follow a process. Play for the big moves. Try to tap your own curiosity about the markets because thats what will drive you on."
The Inner World
Jack Schwager may interview the supertraders but Charles Faulkner climbs inside their heads. Hes a trading coach, who uses a process called Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
Faulkner has traded for his own account, so hes been on the line. He will soon trade again through a mechanical system rooted in chaos theories.
Precise in his use of the language, Faulkner speaks with a mastery developed through hundreds of seminars on how traders can gain a "mental edge." And he certainly knows his subject, having worked with 200 traders directly since 1987.
"I model human excellence." Faulkner asks MTA-ers to join in an exercise to see whether their self-perceptions match those of the very best.
"What do you do?" he asks them to ask themselves. If they reply: "Im a trader" or "I trade - thats who I am" theyre in sync with the winners. "How do you trade?" He quotes wizard Ed Seykota as saying: "Ive made phenomenal amounts of money for very simple decisions but I was willing to make them. Somebody had to." Others, Faulkner adds, "are looking for highly complex ways of interacting with the markets, when most of the time its only the simple ones that are going to work."
"Whats personally compelling?" Referring to Rogers and Sperandeo, he says they "want to fathom the world as it really is" and they "like knowing the way the world works."
Faulkner sees the wizards exercising "relentless effort" and he quotes top bond futures trader Tom Baldwin as saying: "Everyone wants the money but whos going to do the work?"
NLPs techniques involve moving out negative mental beliefs and replacing them with positive ones. "Think of an unpleasant trade," Faulkner advises. "As you do that, what happens if you take a breath and go 'aaah, push it out and the trade with it? Much better. People go through fifths of scotch trying to get that feeling. When you get agitated, go 'whooh and just step out of it that way and youll find that its less. Do it again and youll be at zero real fast."
Faulkners ultimate objective is to get traders to believe that, "I am competent to be confident. I know whats going on in these markets. If I dont know, I get out."
And he concludes this most psychological of presentations with this: "I think were all an experiment that hasnt ended yet."

It's no secret that we have honey oak everywhere in our house – and that I despise it. I have done three semi-big projects so far to cover it up including two bathroom vanities and my kitchen cabinets. Each time, I loathe the trim even more, but it's everywhere. We're not going to live in our house more than another year or two, so I keep stamping down my urge to do something with it.
I'm in a quandry though, when we repainted and updated our kitchen cabinets, we removed the trim from around the window and sliding glass door and we're in the process of replacing it. It pains me to stain it honey oak to match the rest of the house. I'm getting the itch to redo it all. The big question is, do I try to stain it all just a little darker/warmer with a gel stain or do I paint it white? I'm a fan of darker wood for the most part. I do like the white trim look too though – BUT I'm not planning to actually replace it all, I'm just going to go over the current oak trim. I don't want to strip any of it, although I would be willing to strip the mantle if I had to, but that's it. Then, what to do about all the doors?
Here are a few pictures of what I'm dealing with. Excuse quality, I snapped most of them with my iPhone.
And I'm sure you've seen my mantel in other projects, as much as I try to hide it, it's hard to.
And then here's my kitchen and bathroom with the updated cabinets in a dark espresso color. When we replaced the hardwood in the kitchen, we did go with somewhat of a lighter color so it wouldn't be too dark, but not the orangey honey oak we have everywhere else.
Here's a picture of it in the daylight (before we put the appliances back)
I feel some pressure to make a decision. My father in law (who is a retired carpenter) is visiting us this weekend and is going to help us cut the new trim for the kitchen. I can stain it after it's cut, but once we have it, I want to get it up fairly quickly and FINALLY get the kitchen finished.
Any experience or advice?
I am in the same boat as you and have it all over my house. I am big on matching, so any new cabinets we put into our house when i finished the basement have been the honey oak variety. If you are looking for the color of your floor, check out the Minwax Polyshades in the Mission Oak color. I have tested it on some honey oak kick plates and it mixes well. The Polyshades gets mixed reviews, but it worked well for me (just make sure you mix the can well). All I did was clean and rough up the surface with some 220 (or higher) sanpaper. If your goal is to have all the trim look the same, make sure that the new stuff is honey oak colored first, then re-finish. Obviously it is more work, but everything will match.
Thanks! I think I can live with the oak if it was a little darker/warmer. I do still have an old piece of trim from the kitchen window I can experiment with. It's just such a big project. Once I start I have to be "all-in".
I love the dark color you did in the kitchen and your bathroom. I think white or the dark would look good. I don't think I would have the patience for such a big project. You are truly a rockstar!
It always seems like a good idea until I'm 1/3 of the way done and get sick of it but still have so much left to do!
Hi – I am trying to embrace the oak look and make it look great. I actually like the color of your walls with your mantel the way it is – what color did you paint on that wall???
Hi Kate –
It took a few tries to get the color right, but it's a Benjamin Moore paint color – Baja Dunes #997. If you're interested I recently restained my mantel a little bit darker and I'm really happy with it. It still blends well with the other oak if I decide not to do the rest of my trim. http://sometimes-homemade.com/2013/05/07/oak-mantel-makeover/
Thanks for stopping by!
My house is practically identical & I share the same opinion when it comes to the dreaded honey oak. What did you end up doing with the stairwell? I a looking to refinish my mantel, stairs & kitchen cabinets
I haven't decided what to do with my stairs yet. I'm deciding room by room at this point. So far, I've done my mantel and my kitchen trim. http://sometimes-homemade.com/2013/05/28/staining-honey-oak-trim-darker/ I previously painted my cabinets and vanities. Now I'm still deciding on whether I want to commit to the rest of the house though. It looks SO much better, so I'm tempted!
I am in the same boat as you also, I have a oak vanity in my bathroom and I have hung a new mirror which is the dark java color and a tall wall mirror also and my doors and trim are not oak but they are pine and stained honey and I am debating whether or not to paint all of the doors and trim and window trim white. I am nervous. The only thing is I will not paint my railing or my mantel, and wondering if that will look stupid. I am just scared of such a big project. I also don't want to have a hodge podge house either. Suggestions???
I ended up staining some of mine darker. I think as long as you make clear divisions in your house and don't stop in a weird spot it looks just fine. A lot of newer houses seem to mix wood, especially with white trim or cabinets and stained wood (light or dark). Good luck with whatever you decide!
So glad I found your blog! I, too, am wrestling with the same dilemma: paint, stain, or rock that honey oak? I have a 2900 sq ft home that has been practically hosed down in honey oak. Floors, trim, mantle, kitchen, bathrooms, staircase… All honey oak. It's everywhere. It is in great condition, and I hate the thought of ripping it out to replace with white builders grade. It's beautiful wood… There. Is. Just. So. Much. Of. It. we had a contractor in for the basement, and even he commented: "boy, you gotta lotta wood in here!"
I am now really leaning towards staining it darker, and maybe glazing our kitchen cabinets. You made the trim look so easy. Have you done more?
For the trim so far I've only tackled the kitchen and our mantel. The rest seems like a good winter project. We'll see. I'm still going to go area by area. We'll likely sell our house in the next 1-2 years so I'm really torn about whether to invest the time. I really would love to see it all finished though!
I hear you… we are constantly wavering between selling or staying. If we sell, it doesn't make much sense to invest the time and effort. At the same time, I'm concerned that if we sell, we won't find a buyer who LOVES the oak. It's just not in fashion right now. However, i did just see banana clips for sale at Walgreens (yes, banana clips), and I think honey oak was in style at right about the same time banana clips first came out. Maybe if we wait long enough, the oak will come back around and all of these poor people with the white trim and dark cabinets will be in the same boat I am right now. 😉
Ha! Your banana clip comment cracks me up. So true! I really prefer dark wood, but you're right nothing is really timeless.
I am seriously thinking about painting my hideous golden oak trim black. We are going with a really slick gray from Lowe's for the house, which has a very open design. The interior doors will be painted the gray. The kitchen is getting 42″ white cabinets and a blue/black/silver metal tile backsplash. The tile is also from Lowe's. I am not affiliated with them. They just happened to have something I like. I was thinking of putting quarter round for ceiling trim as an accent line.
Sounds really sleek and modern! I'd suggest getting a spare piece of trim (a fairly long one) and painting it black. You can hold it up to various places in your house over your current trim to see how you like it. I did that with the darker stain and it really helped to see it against the cabinets and wall color to see if I liked it or wanted it darker.
Hi Erin,
How did you end up refinishing the trim? Did you have to sand it then re-stain? What grid sandpaper did you use and what kind of stain? Thanks!
Hi Melissa – I actually have re-stained portions of my woodwork (I haven't tackled all the rooms yet). You can read about what materials I used on this post http://sometimes-homemade.com/2013/05/28/staining-honey-oak-trim-darker/
My house is also super similar to yours. I painted our kitchen cabinets white and the island a dark blue. I used gel stain to make our fireplace mantel darker. I used java gel stain to do two bathroom vanities, and plan on doing white trim in the bathrooms… the problem is when you are in the bathroom with the door closed–the oak door looks terrible. Would it be tacky to paint the inside side of the door white?
Have you decided what to do about your stairs? I also have a loft space with a super long railing, so a million spindles! Not sure what to do.
I haven't done anything with our stairs yet. We keep thinking we'll move and then I don't want to put the effort in. I think about it a lot though because it drives me nuts! I'm not sure about painting just one side of the door. Might be a fine temporary fix until you paint all the rest of your trim.

Marie Williams: Starting Small Key to More Gender-Responsive Juvenile Justice
Start Small: The Key to a More Gender-Responsive Juvenile Justice System
Juvenile Justice Information Exchange | April 3, 2017
By Marie N. Williams
On Jan. 21, hundreds of thousands of women gathered in Washington and other cities to send the message that "women's rights are human rights." The broad agenda for the marches included issues as disparate as LGBT rights, immigration reform, pay equality and even environmental protection.
Though very different, all were issues we have come to expect to see appended to a gender equality agenda. What we don't often hear on the national stage is a call for broad reform of how women and girls are treated in the criminal and juvenile justice systems. Check out the full story on JJIE >>

Gary Glitter broke down in tears as he tried to explain to jurors why he had been in possession of child pornography images.
Sobbing uncontrollably in the witness box, the 70-year-old said he had been in a bad place in his life, and was struggling financially, with alcohol and with drugs.
He issued a tearful apology to his fans saying: "I lost my own dignity, and I am so sorry. I am very sorry.
"I am sorry today and every day of my life ever since. I am sorry to my fans."
In November 1997, when Glitter went to pick up a Toshiba laptop he had given for servicing at a Bristol PC World, he was arrested, Southwark Crown Court in London heard.
The engineer who examined the machine had discovered images on it related to child pornography.
Glitter subsequently admitted responsibility for a "large number" of images – depicting a full range of sexual activity taking place between men and very young children – being on his computer.
Glitter – real name Paul Gadd – is accused of one count of attempted rape and another of indecent assault on a girl under the age of 13 in 1975.
Glitter is also accused of two counts of indecent assault with regard to another fan he is said to have assaulted after inviting her to his dressing room after a concert between October 1979 and December 1980.
In connection with a third complainant, who was under the age of 16, he is charged with two counts of indecent assault between October 1979 and December 1980.
The singer, from Marylebone in central London, denies all the charges against him.
In cross-examination, prosecutor John Price QC, asked the singer: "Why were you looking at pictures of men having sex with young children?"
Immediately breaking into sobs and reaching for a tissue, Glitter replied: "I was in a very bad place in my life at that time and I had a lot of very serious decisions to make about my future."
He added that he had invested £200,000 in his own career, and that his record company and fans were demanding a lot from him.
Glitter continued: "By the time I had taken my computer to PC World, I then had other allegations come in so the lawyers' fees and the lawyers' bills were tremendous. And I also missed my girlfriend who lived in Cuba. I couldn't get her out of Cuba."
Breaking down again, the singer continued: "I still can't get her out of Cuba."
Holding his head in his hands and taking off his glasses to wipe away tears, Glitter addressed Judge Alistair McCreath, saying: "Forgive me my lord, it has been devastating for me."
After taking a couple of minutes to compose himself, the former chart-topper told the court he had accepted responsibility for the images and had been to prison.
"I was drinking heavily, I was doing drugs, and the other thing of course is that I had to find this money to pay for the legal costs and studio, and I was asked by my management to seriously do the one thing which was absolutely terrible – which was to sell my songs.
"To sell my songs to Universal Pictures, and I regret it.
"I was just in a bad place. I went to prison, I came out. I was remorseful and I am remorseful. I am so sorry. It changed my life forever. I lost my honour, I lost my family."
Glitter added that he was just in the most "awful, awful place".
He told the court that at that stage in his life he was not able to empathise with the child victims of the indecent images that were found on his computer, but added that he now recognised the damage caused to the vulnerable youngsters.
The singer said: "It has to stop, all this internet pornography of children. It has to stop, no doubt about, no doubt about."
When asked again by Mr Price why he had looked at the images, Glitter said he did not know, but may have simply been "curious".
He added: "I was abused as a child so maybe I was trying to work my own feelings out.
"Today it would not happen, I have no interest in looking at that awful porn now.
"Absolutely no interest at all, it has destroyed my life, it has destroyed my family's life and it has most likely destroyed all those poor victims' lives – I have total empathy for those poor children."
Mr Price suggested that Glitter had been aroused by the pictures, but the star denied this saying that he had "paid" for it, and reiterated that he had no sexual interest in children.
"God knows I have paid for it," he sobbed.

Dear Hermes...
24 comments:
Ooh Hermes, they are gorgeous!! Have you seen the La Mer wrap watches? They're really pretty too =)ReplyDelete
the colour on the orange one is stunning :)ReplyDelete
I don't know why, but you have the potential to make me very very broke =)ReplyDelete
haha I love it!
OMG! I LOVE these cuffs...so gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Do it! I have faith in you haha! Those bracelets are gorgeous <3ReplyDelete
Love the bracelets especially the tan color one! XoReplyDelete
love 'em all!!!ReplyDelete
So gorgeous! I love the first one.. how much do they retail for?ReplyDelete
such a beautyfull bracelet...I also want this so badly :(ReplyDelete
My one and only experience with purchasing from an Hermes store went like this: I was 18 and spent about a half hour picking out scarf for my mother's birthday (I should have known then what I was getting myself into). That night, she opens it and berates me for purchasing something so hideous and expensive. Not only that, the next day she forced me to go back to the store as soon as it opened to return it - incidentally, to the same woman who wold it to me. Awkward.ReplyDelete
haha love your posts and your comments, but the bracelelets are...amazing...indeed...ReplyDelete
the white one <3ReplyDelete
Wow, I want one toooooo! They're gorgeous! xReplyDelete
LOL! I say go visit Hermes.ReplyDelete
I've gone to the one on Bloor a few times. Staff is super nice and discrete. Will only approach you as soon as you feel the urge to ask a question. I also think they like seeing young people taking interest. Their future clients.
Not the same experience at Chanel across the street from them. I still insisted on trying on a few dresses and skirts there. Just because!
Go for it. Be brave, go in and just be yourself. I'm sending you powerful vibes! :)
Oh how i adore hermes!! I love the double tour bracelets, but unfortunately for me when I went to try them on, it was not as lovely as they look in the photos. Also, you should take a look at the kelly double tour watch. :)ReplyDelete
Ah <3 <3 Why the hell is so expensive?! :(ReplyDelete
Very beautiful! I love the white and black one.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous! Please visit my blog vintage-ballerina.blogspot.com I would be so greatfulReplyDelete
Thanks so much

Damn, Apple PC shipment marketshare rose to 8.1% in 07Q3 from 6.2% in 06Q3.
Anyone think that the iPhone and new iPods are having an even larger halo effect these days? Stock price is up again today too.
