What to visit
Beyond the classical destinations of the most important cities of art which surround us, in our immediate vicinity it is possible to visit countless smaller villages which are without doubt rich with notable artistic and cultural interest; amongst others, we draw your attention to the town of Peccioli. There is the Etruscan Museum and, in its surrounding countryside,https://www.airbnb.it/manage-listing/9990663/calendar the Etruscan excavations of the Ortaglia sanctuary, dating back to the ninth-second century BC, the very particular Museum of Russian Icons and, for the pleasure of the little ones, the prehistoric park, among the largest and most beautiful in Europe.
In the village of Libbiano there is the Astronomical Observatory of Galileo Galieli, in the town of Montefoscoli, The Museum of Peasant Civilization, in the village of San Gervasio, The Museum of Workers and Rural Civilization; in the town of Capannoli in the splendid Villa Baciocchi, in late Baroque style, it is possible to visit both the Zoological Museum and the Archaeological Museum. .
There are countless itineraries of naturalistic interest which find themselves in harmony within our hills, allowing a taste of the beauty of the place and, furthermore, whenever you raise your eyes to the sky, you will see enchanting bell towers and a surprising richness of churches from across ten centuries.
In the course of a year in the town of Peccioli, there are many traditional events, with food festivals, local celebrations linked with theatre events, cultural events of great variety and of a high standard of theatre, music, dance, cinema (with special initiatives for children).
Scenery and surrounds
In the surrounding countryside you can see many charming villages and farms, some of them tumbledown – testimony of the past rural civilization. But at the same time they are reviving, transmitting and creating moments of happiness and simple emotions, which all of us desire and you feel again that the world is finally yours, this is what you will get in an agriturismo in Tuscany.
Approximately 1/5 km. from our farmhouse is the little Medieval village of Montelopio, accessible by a country road that winds in perfect harmony with the landscape, among vineyards and olive groves, allowing visitors to savor the the marvels of the place. On arriving in the village, you may settle at the tables of the characteristic Perbacco (bar/delicatessen) where you can savor typical dishes or enjoy an aperitif in complete peace.
Our area is very well served by countless typical restaurants; amongst these, I can make mention of one in particular (Ristorante Serravalle) which is easily accessible on foot (500 mt), and where Paolo (owner and passionate cook) will make you taste typical Tuscan cuisine with his truly exclusive dishes, and will suggest to you which of the excellent, local wines to accompany your meal, all expertly produced by his own company.

Upon request, it is possible to have guided tours to the most beautiful cities of art, or for a very particular experience, aerial trips.

Mercedes-Benz Cars had the best month that it has ever had last March. This means that it ends the first quarter with record-breaking worldwide deliveries of 340,877 units. March sales for Mercedes and Smart cars increased by 9.8% to 142,278. Mercedes brand sales had grown by 11% to 131,334 while Smart volume had a 2.8% decline to 26,975.
But for the first quarter, the U.S. had been the largest market for the U.S. with a hike of 15.3% in its volume to 61,513. Its sales in March had risen by 7.7% to 23,134. Germany was the No. 2 market with a 14.6% increase to 56,552 in the quarter. In addition, March sales had increased by 10.5% to 25,932. China is its third largest market with a 19.5% growth to 51,328.
Of this figure, 17,660 units were sold last month with a 16.1% increase. Another model that added to the increase in the global volume was the C class, which increased by 27% in the quarter to 99,660 units.
In a statement last Tuesday, Joachim Schmidt, Mercedes head of sales and marketing for Mercedes-Benz Cars, said that this gives him confidence that it will be able to reach its target of posting a new sales record in 2012. Mercedes, which fell behind Audi in 2011, is hoping to increase its annual sales to over 1.6 million vehicles in 2015. Last year, Mercedes sold 1.38 million cars around the world, an 8% increase over the previous year.
When spring 2011 arrives, many are likely to see that the new C-Class from Mercedes-Benz has been given a complete redesign. With at least 1 million units already sold under the range, both the front section and tail-end now have a more striking style. In particular, the front section is that much closer to the new design language being implemented by the brand.
Now more expressive than ever, the bumper in the front follows a more dynamic curve and is able to support even more the shape of the vehicle's radiator grille. This is important, considering this is the central element of this region. The bonnet of the Saloon version, and even for the Estate, is now composed of aluminum. There is a curve just around its headlamps and when combined with the radiator grille, it highlights the front end's V-shape much more compared to the previous version.
Looking at the clear-lens headlamps, the brand made sure to change the shape to allow it to give an impression of being more firm and dynamic. With the headlamps plus the bumper, radiator grille, and bonnet, these four give the C-Class that new appearance.
Strengthening this notion is the interior of the headlamps' housings and the headlamps' exterior shape. That the headlamps give off a feeling of being more contemporary is made possible through the precisions and how the high-gloss areas interact with the matt areas. It is important to note that the halogen headlamps have been arranged in what can be known as the traditional way.
That is, the signal indicator was configured on its outer corner which is formed with the front wing. Furthermore, the main beam is seen on the inside while the low beam is placed on the outside. For the central air intake, it now opens in an upward direction and results in a V-shape. This allows it to become the visual base unit for the new models' radiator grille.
From the V-shape in the middle, the side sections extend and are now more prominent. Proceeding towards the area under the headlamps, the sections are able to merge to the feature line on the sides and this forms a link to this area of the vehicle. There are side air inlets on the bumper though they have been placed in a low down position and thus allows it to have a more road-hugging look.

Perfect gluten free dumplings are delicious and easy to make.
Dumplings are perhaps the most universal comfort food found, in one form or another, in most every country. Recipes are as diverse as are the cultures from which they originate.
They go way, way back in history to humble beginnings in poor households where cooks used cheap, starchy ingredients to stretch meager meals as far as possible in order to fill the stomachs of their hungry families.
Over time, these simple standbys became today's "comfort food".
Dumplings are pieces of cooked batter or dough sometimes stuffed with a filling. They can be steamed, fried, baked, roasted, boiled, deep fried, toasted or simmered.
Some of the more well-known dumplings are pot stickers, gnocchi, empanadas, wontons, gnocchi, pierogi, gyoza, kreplach, ravioli, matzah balls, tamales and spaetzle; there are many, many more.
In the United States, dumplings are made with a biscuit based dough, such as in American's favorite comfort food, Chicken Fricassee, Chicken and Dumplings or desserts, such as peach cobbler.
When I began my quest for the perfect gluten free dumpling, I thought it would be an easy "first try".
I couldn't have been more wrong!
Most of my attempts resulted in a fragile dough that disintegrated when dropped onto chicken stew making very thick, starchy, lumpy gravy . . . yuck!
When I finally achieved the semblance of a lump of dough, the gluten free dumpling was a flavorless gummy mass that stuck to our teeth like muddy clay cloys to rubber boots--it piles up and won't let go. We couldn't swallow it for fear of choking.
Then, there was the dreaded metallic aftertaste I couldn't shake off.
I tried gluten-free flour after flour.
On and on and on the recipe testing went. I thought I'd never master the art of gluten free dumpling-making.
One day I woke up and I knew! I knew what I had to do to make the perfect gluten free dumpling!
First, I had to toss out store-bought baking powder in order to get rid of the horrible metallic aftertaste and use Gluten-free Baking Powder instead.
Then, I added an egg to the dough. This was a key change.
The egg imitates gluten in order to develop structure, part of the fluffy moist, but dry (not gummy) "crumb" I was looking for. Egg also imitates gluten by acting as a binder to hold the dough together so it doesn't fly apart when dropped onto bubbling stew, soup or broth.
Even more important, the egg helped the dough to raise more, and added a depth of flavor and color otherwise missing from rice based flour blends.
In order to achieve a more tender flaky "crumb", I added a little more butter.
Then, I adjusted for the liquid in the egg by reducing the measure of milk and corrected the salt measure to balance the sodium in the homemade baking powder.
Perfect gluten free dumplings!
So, I did the ultimate test. I served them to my unsuspecting dinner guests.
When compared side-by-side, my discerning guests couldn't tell which dumplings were gluten-free from those made with all purpose wheat flour.
I asked my guests which dumplings they liked best.
To my surprise, their choice was unanimous! They preferred the gluten free dumplings over the wheat flour dumplings!
So, I asked them what it was about those dumplings they liked better. All cited the texture, tender "crumb" and pleasing flavor.
Were they ever surprised to find out their dumpling of choice was gluten-free!
Note: use volume-based imperial/metric measuring spoons and dry measuring cups marked in milliliters; see Kitchen Equipment and Tools.

"I like to feel small. So, I like to ride things that I can't fit in," said O'Neal, explaining his love of tiny vehicles. "People say, 'He can't get into that.' I'll be, like, 'Watch this.'"

Hey BD_spouse. I've struggled with this as well. Patience. Patience until his meds stabilize and then you can get some. You need to get creative with the cuddling and touching. Maybe spice it up for yourself in front of him- sometimes visuals help? Just giving suggestions.
I have had to make babysitting arrangements for an afternoon alone at home. Something about it just being he and I home alone works. Tell him what you want. Sometimes, plain old communication works. Sometimes it doesn't because they can't help it and then you're back at patience.
You know, after sex being such a HUGE part if my life, it has been very weird for me to live a life that does not inculde it. It being gone we have learned to have more dinners together, snuggle more, and generally spend more time together. So all in all, for every minus in life there are normally some positives that help take up the slack. My wife is on meds also so her sex drive is shot also. However all that said, i still try to be romantic and affectionate, at this point its all i can do and hope for the best.
Hey BD;
Sorry to hear you are in a rough spot right now. I know how hard it an be when you are going thru this kind of thing. I really don't know what to tell you that would help. Just offer affection when you feel like it. Not try to start something up or anything, just throw a hug or kiss on him when the feeling hits you, scratch his back or rub his shoulders without being asked to, just remember you may not get anything back, but you might be suprised too, & just a return squeeze or stroke will do wonders for you. I know it sucks, you are already having to do everything (right there with you) & you would think that this stuff would just be a natural, but this condition is demanding & sometimes everything isn't enough for them. You feel like you just can't win because you give so much to get so little back.
As for the sex part, I can say this, it's a lot harder for a man to "go thru the motions" then it is a woman. If a guy isn't feeling it then they aren't, Having the meds on top of it does not help at all. For me, I can always tell when my wife isn't into it (she usually reminds me before or after too)& it really takes away from it. I always tell her that if she doesn't want to then don't. I would rather have less sex & it be ginuine, then have it more often & her not be into it (then have to hear how much she isn't into it & only does it so I don't cheat etc..). I'm sure it's tough to try to believe that a man doesn't want it all the time, but there are a lot of times when that is the case. Like others have told you, be patient & try to take your opportunities when you can, you may have to do all the work there too, but that isn't always a bad thing. Who knows, in a couple of months he could cyle around & look out! Before you know it you'll be wishing he would leave you alone so you could get some sleep! lol
BTW, how has he been handling his grandfather passing? I'm assuming no news is good news on that front.
Take care & good luck!

there is more talk of inductions and c-sections in my ddc than anything else! I don't recall a single conversation about natural child birth! That's why I peak around on this board every now and then, just to remind myself that it IS ok to let this little one come on her own!
I don't think enough women embrace the fact that our bodies are MADE to do this amazing feat. I am FTM, and at just over 38 weeks am so excited to meet my little one, but I want her to decide when it is time to enter this world. I am also really excited to experience every aspect of child birth, and gain a new understanding at how totally awesome my body is! I personally see it as such an empowering act that once all is said and done I will be so proud to have accomplished.

Jeffrey Flannery
Bryan County High School
To: Mrs. Jean Kirby Powell
As one of the chosen recipients of the Savannah Morning News Awards of Excellence from Bryan County High School, I gladly accept your invitation to the banquet on May 4, 2006.
I have chosen Mrs. Jean Kirby Powell as my most inspiring teacher. She is the Language Arts Department Chairperson at Bryan County High School and teaches all 12th grade Literature/Language Arts.
I chose Mrs. Powell as my most inspiring teacher for several reasons. Mrs. Powell has helped me through rough personal times and cared about me not only as a student, but as a person. She pushed me farther than any other teacher ever has because she saw beneath the surface and recognized abilities that even I didn't know I had. She has helped me so much with my writing. She challenges me, pushes me, as well as inspires me to do my very best. Many teachers just want you to get your work done and that satisfies them; not Mrs. Powell. She always wants and expects more until she feels that she's gotten the best that you can give. My days at school are better just because I know that she is there if and when I need her. I will be forever grateful to her for helping me to realize that I can do anything I set my sight on and for enabling me to realize the importance of striving to reach my potential.

In the not-too-distant future, no one trusts anyone and everyone is watching everybody else. America is obsessed with information and under siege from an insidious enemy: paranoia. National identify cards are mandatory, terrorism alerts are a daily event, and privacy is laid bare on the Internet. For a freelance journalist, her daughter, a bestselling author, and a struggling actor, these tumultuous times provide the backdrop as their lives become inextricably bound in a darkly humorous, frighteningly accurate story of life in an unstable world.
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
The author, most recently, of Waxwings and Passage to Juneau, Jonathan Raban was born in En-gland and since 1990 has lived in Seattle. His honors include the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Heinemann Award of the Royal Society of Literature, the PEN/West Creative Nonfiction Award, the Pacific Northwest Bookseller Association's Award, and the Governor's Award of the State of Washington.
From the Hardcover edition.
After the explosion, the driver of the overturned school bus stood beside the wreckage, his clothes in shreds. He was cupping his hands to his ears, as if to spare himself the noise of sirens, car alarms, bullhorns, whistles, and tumbling masonry. When he brought his hands away and held them in front of his face, both palms were dripping blood. His mouth opened wide in a scream that was lost in the surrounding din.
Beyond the bus, a tire dump had caught fire. Swirls and billows of black smoke, looking as thick and glossy as oil in the early morning sunshine, rose in a fast-climbing plume above the flames. The painted letters of the company sign, PACIFIC AUTO RECYCLING, swelled and popped in the heat.
A child was scrambling from a blown-out window on the bus—a towheaded boy of nine or ten, his face framing a disheveled grin. Half in, half out of the bus, he sat on the window's edge, gazing at the lurid inferno of burning tires and the screaming driver as if the catastrophic nature of the occasion quite eluded him.
Rescue workers came running—sexless toddlers in silver spacesuits—their giant feet slipping and sliding on the pulverized glass that coated the road inches deep like a freak hail-fall. Shards of glass were still dropping from the windows of buildings that had taken the full force of the blast.
The hollow whoomph of an exploding gas tank came from inside the auto-wrecking yard, followed by another a couple of seconds later. A spaceman with a machine gun shouted, "Keep down! Keep down!" at the rescue team, his voice muffled and distorted as he yelled through his respirator into a bullhorn. Bent low, stumbling through glass, they reached the bus, from which silvery tendrils of smoke or steam were now drifting skyward.
"Get in there! Get every live kid out of it, now!"
Silver-suited fatties clambered onto the axle casing, hoisted themselves atop the side of the yellow bus, and dropped inside through the windows. Two pairs of rescuers half carried, half hustled the grinning boy and the driver along the road, splashing through a small turbulent river that issued from a ruptured water main. The driver's head flopped against his chest, blood from his ears spattering what was left of his shirtfront.
A body in a torn tracksuit lay on its back in the path of the rescue party, her mouth and eyes open as if she'd been saying something important when sudden death interrupted. Dust, fine and pale as talcum powder, was settling on her face, as it settled on the parked cars and curbside dandelions, graying everything on which it fell.
The ground quaked to the sound of a bigger whoomph from the wrecking yard. The bus driver's head jerked upright from between the shoulders of his rescuers, and he let out a throaty, gargling howl. "Oh my Christ!" The word "Christ" was drawn out over several seconds, mingling in the air with the echoing rumble of the latest explosion.
"Not there!! There! Get them on the Decon van! The Red Cross van, assholes. Move it! I said move it!"
"Go fuck yourself," said one of the rescuers from inside his hazmat hood, his voice audible only to the bus driver and, by a stretch, to his fellow rescuer. "Fucking National fucking Guard."
The stumbling trio broke into an ungainly trot, closely followed by the rescuers with the boy, like competitors in a three-legged race making the final dash for the tape.
The tarry chemical stink of the fire filled the Red Cross van taking them to the Decon tent at Harborview. The rear windows looked out on boiling flames and on the dense black overcast, rifted here and there by scraps of flawless blue, that now darkened the streets. In the foreground, a camo Humvee, spacemen with gurneys, running stick figures, splayed bodies, liberated papers seesawing in air, drifts of toxic dust, smoking heaps of bricks and torn Sheetrock.
The driver of the school bus, Tad, was trying to assign the name of a painter to the scene. Goya, maybe. Or Hieronymus Bosch. He tipped his head and jiggled his pinkie in his right ear to clear the canal of stage blood.
"How're you doing, kid?"
"Better than school, huh?"
The boy's nose was squashed against the glass. The transfixed grin hadn't left his face since the moment when he'd first climbed out of the bus.
"You wait," Tad said. "You wait till you go through Decon. That's something else."
In Decon the boy would be stripped naked and hosed down before being admitted to the hospital. Tad had gone through it a couple of exercises ago. Never again: he'd written that into his contract. Today, as soon as the van reached Harborview, he'd be into his next part. After Bus Driver with Burst Eardrums came Psychotic Homeless Man Disrupting Work of Rescue Team, then Dying Amputee, Man Having Coronary, and—the one he seriously dreaded—Man Being Dug from Rubble.
Tad Zachary was one of the six professional stars of the show titled TOPOFF 27 by the Department of Homeland Security. Most victims were played by volunteers from government offices and by homeless people getting minimum wage and a free lunch. Tad and his fellow actors were scoring $1,000 of federal money apiece for their day's work. They were the ones who'd be filmed in close-up, their images beamed by satellite to the bunker in D.C. where the exercise was being monitored.
He needed the job. His last appearance on stage had been sixteen months ago, when he'd played Willy Loman in the ACT revival of Death of a Salesman. Since the downturn in the economy, one Seattle theater after another had gone dark, and Tad was scraping by on residuals, commercials, voiceovers, PSAs, vilely written parts in spec indie movies at $250 a throw, management-and-training films, the rare gig as MC at a corporate junket, and the interest on the proceeds of the sale of his mother's house in Portland. He had to remind himself most days that he was lucky: he had a strong local name and good connections. Even jobs in retail, the usual standby of the out-of-work actor, were in short supply now. His friend Gilda Hahn, who'd played opposite him as Linda Loman, had been on food stamps before she found her current role, working the midnight shift at a 7-Eleven on Denny Way.
For Tad the TOPOFFs were performances, but for the emergency services they were dress rehearsals: FEMA, the National Guard, the firefighters, police, ambulancemen, and civic officials were still plotting out their lines and moves, and still not getting it right. In TOPOFF 26, nearly every rescue worker had been contaminated, fatalities had vastly exceeded predictions, chains of command had broken down, hospitals overwhelmed. The reviews that came down from D.C. were so terrible, Tad had heard, that they were officially classified and never reached the press.
This one was the most realistic yet. A dirty bomb (two thousand pounds of ammonium sulfate, nitrate, and fuel oil, mixed up with fifty pounds of cesium-137 in powdered form) had gone off in a container supposedly holding "cotton apparel" from Indonesia, recently unloaded from a ship docked at Harbor Island. A fireworks expert (the same guy who directed the July Fourth display on Elliott Bay) created the terrific gunpowder explosion and the rockets laden with talc to simulate cesium. The tire fire had been set with gasoline, the broken glass supplied by volunteers standing on the roofs of neighboring buildings. At least the pictures beamed to the other Washington would look great.
A section of Route 99 had been closed for the exercise, which was happening in an area five city blocks square. Yet even in this micro version of nuclear horror, chaos was already breaking out all over, less than fifteen minutes since the bang. Judging by the fire trucks now homing in on it, and by the stream of silver suits running northward, the fire was out of control. Tad heard gunshots, which surely weren't called for in the script.
He hated working with amateurs. They never understood the fine line dividing real life from theater. They always overdid it. He hoped against hope that the exercise would be called off before he had to be dug out from the rubble.
The Red Cross driver had turned his whooping siren on. They were in regular traffic now, out of the exercise zone, speeding past a jam of diverted drivers on their way to work. This greatly excited the boy, who began to whoop in tune with the siren.
Tad hated working with children, too. "You're giving me a headache, kid. What's your name, anyway?"
"Taylor, I'll give you a buck if you chill out and shut up till we get to the hospital, okay?"
"Done deal," Taylor said. He looked and spoke like one of those kids whose parents dragged them from audition to audition. Too cute by half, and then some.
Tad dug into the back pocket of his pants, removed his billfold, and peeled off a dollar that the boy took without thanks. Professional curiosity made him ask, "You getting paid for this, Taylor? Or are you a volunteer?"
"Fifty bucks," the boy said with a smirk. "I was a Munchkin in The Wizard of Oz at the Fifth Avenue Theatre. And I was in The Nutcracker at the Opera House. How 'bout you?"
"If you're getting paid, kiddo, if you think you're an actor, you better learn to wipe that stupid grin off your face. This is a pro speaking. You're a casualty. You're probably going to be dead of radiation sickness in a week. Think of your parents. Think of the funeral. You're one unlucky kid, Taylor. You in Little League?"
"Well, think about this. You're never, ever going to play another game. You understand that? You're history."
The grin was at last beginning to come unstuck.
"If you're going to act, act good. Act real. Let me tell you something about the way you played that kid climbing out of my bus: it stank. Every other kid was dead, and you looked like it was Christmas and Santa had just popped out of the chimney. Next time you've got to be the character, right?"
"Right." A chastened mumble.
Tad laid his arm across Taylor's shoulder. "Just some friendly advice from an old actor. What are you next?"
"I got a dead mom. She's lying in the road, blown out of our car on the way to school."
"So you're in white shock. It's too early for grieving. You're a disoriented zombie. A shivering blank. And after Decon, you will be shivering. Think about it, Taylor. Learn to act."
At Harborview, the boy joined the cheerful line of people queuing at the entrance to the Decon tent: evidently no one had warned them of the intimate humiliations that lay in store. The car with City of Seattle plates and "ZACHARY" posted in the window was waiting to drive him to his next engagement. A change of shirt and trousers was on the backseat, along with a woolen balaclava helmet and his makeup-sponge bag. Before he climbed in he turned and called, "Hey, Taylor! Taylor! Break a leg, kid!"
Lucy Bengstrom was in luck that morning. The bomb-scare shenanigans going on downtown had freed the suburbs from their usual swarm of officious security types. On the dot of 7:30, aiming to catch the 9:30 ferry from Mukilteo to Whidbey Island, she'd parked her daughter, Alida, in the Early Birds program at her school on Capitol Hill. As it turned out, the drive to Mukilteo was a breeze: no soldiers manning the checkpoint on I-5, and the search of her car at the ferry terminal was merely a command to flip the trunk and an incurious glance inside. She was waved onto the 8:30 boat with nearly ten minutes to spare.
Earliness made her feel she'd won a surprise vacation as she got coffee from the machine in the passenger lounge and took it out onto the stern deck. It was holiday weather. For the entire last week of March, the temperature had been up in the eighties, and today, April 2, they were saying on the radio that it would likely pass ninety. To be wearing a dress that she'd bought for summer in Hawaii on a spring day in the Pacific Northwest was an oddity to add to all the other oddities of life in the last year or so: they steadily accumulated, like snowfall--another thing that wasn't happening the way it used to.
Water boiled in the dock and the ferry pulled slowly away from the ramp. Sipping at the tepid espresso, Lucy felt properly afloat again, at last.
The call from GQ had come in the nick of time—the first assignment in many months that she could really sink her teeth into. Back in the nineties, when East Coast editors thought of the Pacific Northwest as the new big thing, Lucy was offered far more work than she could possibly take on, but since then the region had lost much of its sexiness and the dateline "Seattle" was beginning to look like deja vu all over again. The old-new public library, the international toast of 2004, had long slipped into yesterday-land, though a recent string of gruesome serial murders, recalling Ted Bundy's exploits and the Green River killings, had briefly jolted Seattle back into the news. Lately, she'd been scratching a living out of travel pieces—short trips with Alida in tow, during school breaks--and wry reports from the deep sticks for "Talk of the Town" in The New Yorker. She called editors nowadays, and sometimes her calls were returned.
Before the GQ editor phoned, she hadn't known that August Vanags lived in her territory, though she knew of his book, of course. Impossible to miss its long bestsellerdom, or the bidding war between DreamWorks/Paramount and Miramax for movie rights; Spielberg had won, if that was the word, and paid gazillions. She'd gone straight out to buy Boy 381, the title superimposed on a creased and grainy black-and-white snapshot of a starveling boy standing against a forbidding barbed-wire fence. Leery of its blockbuster success, she'd begun to read, expecting to find it not half as good as it was cracked up to be.
But she was swept away, almost from the first page. It was amazing that this memoir of an orphaned child caught up in the worst barbarities of World War II could be so light, sweet-tempered, brave, and funny. From his terrible boyhood spent among the displaced and terrorized people of Central Europe, overrun now by Hitler's armies, now by Stalin's, Vanags had somehow conjured a magical, inspiring book. It was as if Huck Finn had been set adrift in this refugee world of trains, and labor camps, and trudging columns of shocked, exhausted men and women trying to escape. Like Huck's, the boy's voice was clear and true.

The World Bowls Board, representing the interests of 35 countries, joined with the World Indoor Bowls Council and the newly formed Professional Bowls Association to launch the World Bowls Tour on Jan. 1, 1997. Its goal was to secure increased television coverage and sponsorship in order to produce more benefits for the game.
In 1996 the world championships--contested every four years--were held. The men's events took place at Adelaide, Australia, in March, and the women's were held at Leamington Spa, Eng., in August. England's Tony Allcock retained his 1992 world singles title, defeating Jeff Rabkin (Israel) 25-15. The other men's gold medals were won by Ireland in the pairs, Scotland in the triples and England in the fours. Scotland won the team title.
South Seas (Norfolk Island) competitor Carmen Anderson captured the women's singles, trouncing England's Wendy Line 25-9. The pairs was won by Ireland's Phillis Nolan and Margaret Johnston for a record third successive time. South Africa beat Australia in the triples, but this result was reversed in the fours.
Scottish dominance was apparent at the world indoor championships at Preston, Eng., in February as David Gourlay, Jr., overcame fellow Scot Hugh Duff in the final. The pairs title went to Kelvin Kerkow and Ian Schuback of Australia, who defeated England's Gary Smith and Andy Thomson in a thrilling five-set encounter.

Youth football is a demanding sport to coach, but it is made much more manageable when you have New York Giants star Odell Beckham Jr.'s number in your call log.
Florida barber extraordinaire Arthur Pique has benefitted from his relationship with football stars to help instruct boys in the realm of sports, and often times in life as well.
"When I tell my players about the players' hair I've cut, which include Odell Beckham and Jason Pierre-Paul, I remind them that professional football players are a lot like them," Pique said. "The only difference is that they fight through the days they don't feel like going to practice, or studying the playbook and end up playing on Sundays."
Pique has been a barber for all of his adult life and said he fell in love with the profession as a child getting his hair cut by neighborhood barbers. As he became more invested in the trade, word of his talent spread and he would take a job with the Giants as a team barber.
The position would require him to travel across the country, which allowed him to increase his notoriety on a national level, but started to take a toll on his family. As his son started entering critical stages of development and mentoring, Pique saw fit to spend less time on the road so he could create better memories with his son.
He decided that the best way to connect with his son is through the sport they both loved. Pique has a background in coaching and saw an opportunity to personally train his son.
"My first coaching job was with a youth baseball team of 15 year olds. The kids — and I say kids, like they aren't adults now — they still look up to me," he said. "It impacted me more than I would imagine and I stuck with it ever since."
As a coach, Pique is as hard on his son as he is on other players (if not harder) but being the godson of Chicago Bears safety Antrel Rolle comes with its set of expectations. Pique said his son is in one of the best positions to be mentored by a number of pro athletes.
"There has been times when he has to realize, 'this ain't dad on the field.' I coach him hard," Pique said. "Even after getting some tips from some pros, I hadn't let him throw a pass downfield for the first three weeks of the season. I finally unleashed him, and he threw three touchdown passes. He got to see the hard work [pay off]."
When Pique isn't mentoring the young men of the Suniland Sun Devils football team, he's helping youngsters in his community get prepared to make the most of their educations.
Pique hosted his annual Education First program in September, which incorporates the talents of a handful of other notable barbers in the area to give free haircuts, school supplies and food to youth in South Florida.
"The school supply drive was the day before school started," he said. "There were kids out there without supplies or a haircut. School starts tomorrow, chances are if they didn't have one by then, they weren't going to get it.
I always had a love of helping people and random acts of kindness. I wanted the kids to see that without money, without fame, someone could still be a blessing to others. If there's someone in need, you can help."
Pique also said that he is making progress towards teaching kids with behavioral issues because he wants "to touch some kids' lives and change some things."
Even though he's an advocate of education, Pique said football provides an opportunity for many young men that isn't available in other aspects of life.
"Football is the best sport in the world, he said. "It's the only sport where you have to stop in between every play and follow directions and be disciplined. I think that teaches kids, in between whistles, you have to work hard. In between plays, you're going to have to follow directions. If you don't follow directions, and 11 players don't, you're not going to do well on the next play. That's why I love coaching football."

I ran into Katie Holmes' former flame Friday night at Runway for Life at the Beverly Hilton. Chris, his new, fairly presentable g-friend, Ginnifer Goodwin, and other celebs like Anna Kournikova and Cindy Crawford hit the runway to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Too sweet!
One word for Mr. Klein during my Suri inquisition: Unflappable. After some obligatory career chitchat, I got to the million-dollar question on every gossip's minds and mouths. "Have you seen Vanity Fair?" I asked. "I have indeed, yes," Chris replied, politely yet succinctly.
"Any thoughts?" I pressed, as inquiring minds (like yours and mine, natch ) so want to know C.K.'s feelings regarding the new insta-nuclear fam that is Tom&Kate&Suri.
Lisa O'Connor/ZUMApress.com
"I think they look so lovely and so happy, and I'm really, really happy for them," he said semisincerely, and rather repetitively, without batting an eyelash of irony regarding his ex, the former Katie Holmes. Jeez. Now, I was über-impressed Mr. K. hadn't bolted off the carpet or given me the hand yet, so I figured why not go there? You know: There.
"What do you think about the gossip that Suri looks like you?" I said, quasi-innocently, but really not. "Do people ever ask you about that?" I was fully prepared for the American Pie performer to throw an apple job in my face, or at least to walk away.
But Chris stayed and answered!
"I've never had anyone ask me that before," he replied, ever so thoughtfully. Could he actually have been telling the truth? Hmmm. "I haven't even heard people talking like that." (Obviously, the dude doesn't read the rags.) "It's definitely them, and they look so beautiful," he surmised.
"Are you and Katie still in contact?" I asked, for good horse-corpse-beating measure.
"We've been so busy that it's hard to keep in touch," he explained. Ding-ding-ding! That would be the sound of my way nosy questions coming to a close. Big snaps for Chris...He was a great sport the entire time. The almost beefy boy (with a nice bum) came off sincere and not the least bit bitter. So, either TomKat ain't even a blip on his radar, or he's a much better actor than I thought.

"I think you know when you're healthy and when you're not," said Jenna Dewan, star of Step Up and current amour of one Channing Tatum. "I think you can tell when you have bones sticking out!"
So, what's the secret to Jenna's toned and bitchin' bod, besides all those hours of sweat-ay dancing, 'course? "Everything in moderation," she explained. "You can have that day where you splurge, and then you eat less for the next couple of days."
Hear that, Nicole Richie? I asked Jane Kaczmarek the same skinny Q.
"If you see really awkward angles and bones that look like they hurt, that's too skinny," Bradley Whitford's nicely shaped other half responded. (Kate Bosworth inference here, anyone?) "When you see lean, slender, proportioned and a little bit of voluptuousness," J.K. continued, "that's beautiful. Probably 10 years ago, Christy Turlington gained 10 pounds and she looked like a million bucks! I love that she did that."
Me too, girlfriend. Bring on the In-N-Out, pronto!

Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl, givin' Mance a run for their Miami club-hoppin' money. The newly hands-on duo hit South Beach last week and stopped by Skybar, Suite and Snatch, if you can believe it, all in one freakin' night! The formerly camera-shy couple happily mugged and canoodled for eager photogs. Oh, how quickly the times change! Just ask...
Rob Shuter, former flack to one Jessica Simpson. Rumor has it that Jess and daddio Joe parted ways after R.S. overexaggerated about Jess-babe and John Mayer's supposed romance to the rags. Anyhow, Rob was spotted brunchin' in New Yawk at Moonstruck, a local diner. Pinchin' pennies, hon? Also masticating in less than glam locales was...
Chris Kattan, grabbin' a snack in E!'s very own downstairs deli. Mid-Wilshire, natch. Eschewing the mango fruit he so fabulously plays on SNL, C.K. instead opted for low-fat Ruffles and a Diet Coke. Countin' calories, dude? Postpurchase, he met up with a mysterious blonde in dark aviator shades. (No, it wasn't Ryan Seacrest!)

Slower growth expected to GCC economies
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said that the real GDP of the oil exporting countries in the Middle East will moderate next year because oil prices are expected to soften.
Previous GDP growth for the GCC, which was estimated at about 7.2 per cent, has been lowered to 4 per cent, on fears that the global economy is teetering toward another recession as well as a possible decline in oil prices. Such high prices were primarily the reason for their previous economic boom.
Experts state that there are chronic problems in the region which need to be addressed by local governments. Chief among these challenges is the increasing number of unemployed citizens and the ever-exploding demographic population. These problems will further be aggravated by decreased economic growth, decline in tourism activities, as well as a decline in foreign remittances.
The IMF, hence lowered its forecast for the MENA region to 4 per cent as it expects the region to experience shrinking budgets, as governments' will continue public spending on social projects and food subsidies.
Nonetheless, Dr. Sherrif Dallor, an economist, said that the IMF based its forecast on the assumption that oil prices as well as the dollar exchange rate will fall. However, there have been indications that oil prices and the dollar exchange rate will rise as America's economy recovers. (Source: www.yallafinance.com)

Market Optimism Is Ominous Sign
Oh, brother.
As if Tuesday's sell-off on the stock market weren't enough to be worried about, now comes some more ominous news. Global money managers have just turned dangerously optimistic. The booming market rally of September and October, and the Fed's new promise of easy money for all, proved too much for their self-control. They bounded into this month like eager puppies, their ears perked up and their tails a-wagging, eager to play.
Like I said: Oh, brother.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch says its latest survey of big fund managers, conducted between November 5 and 11, found "market sentiment at its most bullish since April 2010."
April? Hmmmm. Say, wasn't that just before the market slumped again?
Money managers have just dramatically raised their forecasts of economic growth (and inflation). And they have thrown as much money into stocks as they possibly could. Average cash holdings are down to just 3.5%–one of the lowest readings on record.
Even hedge fund managers, those skeptical souls, have cautiously joined in. The survey shows their bets on rising shares, minus their bets on falling shares, have surged alarmingly since the summer. The most popular assets? Commodities, where institutions have become heavily over-invested, and emerging markets–where they appear to have gone "all in."
This is ominous news. Big institutional investors move the market. If they have already invested most of their cash, it means there are fewer investors on the sidelines waiting to come in. Bank of America's survey polls around 200 big institutional investors around the world, with about $630 billion under management.
Among the other highlights from the survey: Money managers continue to shun gold, which they deem "overvalued." Relevant note: They have been saying that all the way up. The equities they like the least: Utilities, banks and Japan. (This columnist, who does not like crowds, has some money invested in the iShares Japan exchange-traded fund, EWJ.).
The Bank of America survey can be a great contrarian indicator–although, as always in markets, it is far from infallible. In June/July 2007 it showed money managers were hugely bullish of European equities–Merrill Lynch, as it then was, coined the term "EU-phoria." That proved the best possible moment to sell European equities, just before they went into freefall. And in April 2003 the survey was deeply bearish of Japanese equities. That proved an extremely good moment in which to buy…Japanese equities.
In isolation, the latest survey might be reason enough for caution.
And it is not in isolation.
Look at the valuations. Stocks are already trading at rich prices according to several long term measures. A lot of smart people have been increasingly pessimistic. Any investor looking to invest fresh money has for some weeks been struggling to find anything worth buying. Even blue chip equities with good dividend yields, one of the last assets that were offering some value, have been playing catch-up.
Now look at the broader picture. The latest debt panic in Europe is among a number of reminders that the financial crisis is not entirely in the rearview mirror. And now, maybe most ominously of all, come signs that the bond market mania is finally cracking. Treasury and corporate bonds have tumbled in the past couple of weeks, after hitting giddy–and absurd–heights. That suggests Ben Bernanke's confidence game may be coming to an end. Mr. Bernanke is promising to print money to buy up bonds. If investors had total confidence in his legerdemain, that would send bond prices higher, or at least keep them high. Apparently they may not have quite that degree of confidence after all.
When bonds fall, yields rise. Higher yields are bad for stocks as well as bonds. Why? First, they make it more expensive for companies to borrow money. That's a cost borne by equity holders. Second, they make bonds more attractive, putting pressure on stocks. And third, higher interest rates make future profits less valuable in present day terms. What should you do? Be aware that there is a distinct chance we could be in for some serious turbulence. This is not a prediction, but a caution. Could you handle it? In these circumstances I would only want to hold assets in which I had plenty of faith. There is always the risk you may need it.

To What extent was Adolf Hitler personally responsible for the Holocaust between 1934 and 1942.
There can be no doubt that Hitler's behaviour throughout his political career, from the end of the First World War, until the end of the Second World War was characterised by radical anti-Semitism. In one way or another, Hitler wished to put an end to the existence of Jews with in the living space of the German people, and this objective was carried a very high priority in his political practice. Of course Hitler's anti-Semitic stance cannot by itself explain the persecution and murder of the European Jews by the Nazi regime. An investigation into the extent to which Hitler was involved in the Holocaust must take into account both his own central role and also the role that other factors played which eventually led to the Final Solution.
Historians writing after World War 2 focused on Hitler and the nature of his dictatorship. Hitler was portrayed as a leader who dictated events and who established an ascendancy over all who came into contact with him, even though they might disagree with his decisions. He was seen as master in the Third Reich. Gradually, historical research has shown this idea to need revision. Far from seeing him as master, historians wrote of a man remote from public affairs. The debate centres on the philosophical argument of the role of the individual in shaping the course of history.
Commentators of the Third Reich have tended to get divided into two 'schools' of thought. Intentionalists and structuralists. Intentionalists see Hitler as central to the regime and certain developments would not have happened without his authority. They believe Hitler personally authorised the Final Solution sometime in the summer of 1941 believing Russia to be near defeat. Historians like Ian Kershaw have argued that as Fuhrer, Hitler had three important functions to preform. To integrate the many different and antagonistic groups, to mobilise the...

"Having posted a comment earlier (and waiting and trusting it to appear on RealClimate) I take the opportunity to express my gratefulness to RealClimate and its contributors, for hosting and disseminating some of my thoughts and ideas. A couple of comments that I posted in another occasion were very kindly received and replied in RealClimate (even though they might be different from the majority of ideas I read in RealClimate) and subsequently widely read and disseminated. I really appreciate this, particularly because I have experienced difficulties in publishing my ideas (including some of the articles I mentioned in my earlier comment..."
Which is one reason I recommended that even AGW skeptics look in there occasionally.
My take watching the discussion is that the vast majority of the professional science researchers on RC are pleased by the appearance of a skeptic who is not a fool or a crank, and delighted at the opportunity for the rest of us to watch the way in which real scientific discussion and debate is conducted by real scientists.
As for his analysis, and the discussion, it's well beyond my ability to evaluate, what is clear is that a) the professional climate-research contingent over on RC regard him as a peer and take his views seriously, and that 2) they think that though he raises very interesting questions, his general conclusion are unwarranted.
I would note, though, that this is another example of someone from outside the climate science community arriving on the scene to announce that everyone else has got it all wrong, and that the track record of such skeptics to date had been very poor.
You also need to keep in mind that this is a criticism of the modeling process, not the underlying atmospheric physics and chemistry which predict global warming - if you asked him if he believed that our understanding of atmospheric physics and chemistry should lead us to suppose that "greenhouse effects" are considerably heating the atmosphere, my guess is that he would say "Oh yeah. Sure, no question...".
The situation is sort of like mathematical modeling of what happens to the occupants of an automobile in collision: you can question the adequacy of the modeling, but that doesn't alter your understanding of the overall practical result based on your understanding of physics and biology- in fact to the extent that or modeling does not allow us to accurately and reliably predict the consequences of increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, that makes the situation more worrisome, not less.

What is Business Casual for Women
Trying to decipher business casual attire for women can be a little difficult in today's work environment and can vary depending upon where you work. Because dressing appropriately can often make or break a career, it's wise to follow a few simple rules when it comes to business casual for women.
I'll provide you with some basic points and tips to keep in mind, for everyday wear, special events, and business travel. For further education, I've even listed what not to wear when it comes for business casual for women in the workplace.
So let's get started…
The easiest way to think of business casual is a hybrid of business professional and casual wear. You don't need to wear a full-on suit, but a strapless sundress with flip-flops is not appropriate.
For the majority of companies, business casual is an everyday requirement. You can mix elements of more formal business wear, like a blazer, suit skirt or pants, but they don't have to be worn together. It's also wise to have the majority of your business casual clothing be in neutral colors: black, gray, navy, brown, beige, and white. Starting with basic pieces in a neutral and then adding pops of color allow you to show your personality and keep from being boring.
Business Casual Pants
Pants are an obvious choice and the primary option for most women in the workplace. Make sure that they fit you well, are wrinkle-free, and without frayed hems or ripped seams. I like wool, cotton (including corduroy), linen and gabardine, and you can also add in polyester, which is easy to care for. There is also a nice selection of colored denim available these days, just make sure the color is pure with no fading, and it's good to have a bit of stretch in them to make them more comfortable for sitting for long periods of time. Basic neutrals work best, as they can be paired with a lot of color options, but you can opt for a colored pant in a dark muted color like burgundy or forest green. You can also try pinstripes or a small plaid. Mid- or high-rise both work, and the hems can be cuffed or uncuffed. I like wide-legged trousers, but you can also go with straight leg, boot-cut, or ankle-length.
Business Casual Blouses and Tops
To add a pop of color to an outfit, think blouses and tops. There are a lot of choices out there in pretty colors that will complement your skin tone and eyes. Pastels, jewel tones, plaids, muted florals, and prints (paisley, geometric, polka dot, ikat) are all acceptable. Sleeves should be fitted not fluffy. In colder months, stick with long or ¾ sleeves; for spring and summer, short or cap sleeves work well, and you can even wear a wide-strapped tank. Keep your neckline somewhat modest with a collared, boat neck, square neck, or turtleneck. If you go with a scoop or V-neck, make sure that cleavage is not on display. Keep your shirt tucked in or, if worn out, make sure it covers your waistband by several inches. And it should go without saying that you must wear a bra, and a tank or camisole if your blouse is at all sheer.
Business Casual Sweaters
You can also wear sweaters in a variety of ways, either as a top or over a top, with pants or a skirt, or over a dress. The fit is important here, so try to stay away from anything too baggy or ill-fitted. Fine-gauge knits work best; bulky sweaters not so much. Your basic cardigan is a staple in business casual attire, and it can be a simple waist-length cardigan or a longer boyfriend one. Your sweater can have buttons, no buttons, or have a draped front collar. With longer cardigans, you can even use a skinny belt to add some definition and a different look to an outfit.
Business Casual Jackets or Blazers
Jackets or blazers are more of a requirement during colder months for warmth going to and from home, not necessarily to wear in the office. But don't think that means you can throw on that camo utility jacket and get away with it. You still need your outerwear to be professional looking. (You never know when you might need to go to lunch with the boss or a client!) To get the most bang for your buck, stick with neutral colors; black, charcoal, brown, and navy work best. If you want something a bit different, try a jewel tone, small pinstripe or herringbone pattern, very classic. The fit is a big issue with jackets and blazers. Nix the boxy blazer and stick to something that nips in at the waist. Make sure that the jacket doesn't pull or gape when buttoned. As an alternative to a blazer, you can try a wool moto jacket.
Business Casual Skirts or Dresses
While pants might be your go-to business casual attire, don't discount skirts and dresses. The blouses that you wear with your pants will most likely pair well with a skirt. Try a pencil, A-line, or pleated skirt in a solid, pinstripe or herringbone pattern. Colored skirts are fine, but steer clear of bright colors and prints, particularly floral as they are a little more difficult to wear. If the skirt has a slit, make sure it is a modest one and appropriate when sitting.
Dresses are an easy choice for business casual attire. It's one item on and off you go to work. No need to pair bottoms and tops. They also work well with cardigans and blazers when the weather is chillier. Necklines and sleeves should follow the rules noted above for blouses. Hemlines for both skirts and dresses can range from a few inches above the knee to just below the knee. Minis, high-low, and asymmetrical hemlines are best left in the closet during the week.
Business Casual Shoes
When it comes to shoes, you've got a lot of great options. Flats, wedges, heels, boots, and certain sandals can be worn with your business casual outfits. Flats are a comfortable option, worn primarily with pants. Try a loafer or driving moc, round or pointed toe ballerina style, or even an oxford. Heels are more typical in a work environment, but keep them around 3 inches or less, to be both appropriate and more comfortable. You can slip your feet into pumps, slingbacks, T-straps, peep-toe or wedged heels. Color is fine for both flats and heels, as is a nice animal print, but stay away from prints and florals for the office. During the colder months, pull on a pair of booties or knee-high boots, either flat, heeled or with a wedge. Boots should be leather (or vegan alternative) and in a neutral color without over-embellishment (multiple buckles, say). While nylons and stocking are not required with your shoes, they certainly can be worn, as can tights and socks with boots.
Summer presents some challenges for women when choosing business casual outfits. The heat and/or humidity in many locations warrants wearing as little as possible, which just isn't appropriate for the office. Instead, wear clothing made from a material that is breathable (cotton, silk, linen) and lighter in color.
If pants are your average daily attire, go for a lightweight cotton or linen in white, cream, or beige. Pair your pants with a wide-strapped tank in a pretty color or wear a slightly sheer blouse with a camisole that will help to wick away the moisture.
Better yet, switch to skirts and dresses. Both of these items allow air to circulate below the knee and, yes, up the skirt. Wear skirts and dresses that have some movement, rather than a pencil skirt that hugs the body. Pair skirts with tops that have short or cap sleeves or that wide-strap tank or semi-sheer blouse with a camisole.
You can also opt for heeled sandals, rather than close-toed shoes. As with general casual shoes, height should be around 3 inches or lower and can include a wedge. Try to avoid dressier sandals that have embellishments, lots of straps, or look like they belong at a club. And, sadly, flat sandals are really not appropriate in most business casual work environments.
When you find out you're headed to a business conference, there are a few things that come to mind!
"Yay, I get to travel! I hope I have time to sightsee."
"Hmmm, what should I wear to the conference?"
The location of the conference, the weather, and the industry that you're in will determine the type of outfits you should wear to the conference.
Let's use the conference I went to as an example. I live in California, and the conference was in Boston. The conference was a week-long and lasted all day. Industry business owners and professionals from all over the world were attending this conference, so I knew I was going to be meeting a lot of people. The conference was in September, so I knew it wasn't going to be too hot or too cold.
From these points, I realized that business casual and layering was the best way to go. It allowed me to be comfortable for a packed day of events.
You might need to add in a more traditional business suit or a fancier dress for an evening event. So be sure to check the schedule and plan for the unexpected. I'd rather pack a fancy dress than have to run out at the last minute to find one, or risk being embarrassed by wearing a business casual outfit to a fancy client dinner.
So here's what I packed for that conference…
Having to pack for a conference entails not only clothing but a computer, business cards, handouts, etc., all of which take up room in a suitcase or carry-on. So when it came time to pack for this conference, I knew I didn't want to pack a lot of clothes. I wanted to take items that I would be able to mix and match to create a variety of outfits.
So to create five different business casual outfits for this conference these are the items I took with me:
Black Trousers
Tan Trousers
Black Cardigan
Black Flats
Navy Heels
Large Tote
Polka Dot Top
Navy Blouse
Burgundy Blouse
These ten pieces made up the week of outfits I needed. It might not seem like a lot of clothes, but the key is finding pieces that you can mix and match.
I opted for darker hues as it was almost fall, and they are easier to mix and match. A lot of the items I packed were neutrals, so to add some personality I added a fun polka dot top and a patterned dress. You could also add in scarves or jewelry which can change up a look.
The outfit I'm wearing in this post is the complete outfit I wore at the conference. Check out How to Dress Professionally, Feel Confident and Look Stylish to view the first business casual outfit.
WHAT IS NOT Business Casual for Women?
While the dress code for business casual for women isn't written in stone, there are some hard and fast rules on what not to wear. Here is what you should avoid when the dress code for women is business casual.
No jeans or denim
No low-rise pants
No capri pants
No shorts or skorts
No sweatpants or yoga pants
No overalls
No leather pants or skirts
No short/mini skirts or dresses
No body-con dresses
No ankle- or full-length dresses
No tops or dresses with a plunging neckline
No tops or dresses with skinny straps
No crop tops/halters/razorback/strapless
No sandals / flip flops
No baggy clothes
No super tight clothes
No sundresses
No sequins
No neon
No jackets with bright colors or patterns
No bra showing
No clogs/stilettos/high-platform shoes
Nothing that looks like you're hanging out with friends, going to a picnic, going to a party/club, or going on a date.
This "what not to wear" is not a comprehensive list, but it does give some key points on what you should not wear.
I hope this post has helped you a little in figuring out what business casual attire for women is.
If you have any questions, just send me an email.
