Planning Permission Given To Transform Dorchester's Shire Hall
8:12am 17th July 2014
The courtroom where the Tolpuddle Martyrs were sentenced has been confirmed as the centrepiece of a new heritage centre.
Planning permission's been approved for the £2.9M project at Dorchester's old Shire Hall.
The Secretary of State's being asked to approve building consent for the scheme in the grade 1 listed building.
Shire Hall which was used as council offices until 2013 was built in 1797.
English Heritage, the Dorchester Civic Society, the TUC, Dorset County Museum, Dorchester Arts Centre and the Thomas Hardy Society have all supported the scheme.
The London Dorchester Committee Trust (LDCT) will manage and run Shire Hall under a lease from the owners, West Dorset District Council. The attraction is set to open in summer 2017.
Trust chairman John Russell said: "Shire Hall is a unique part of British heritage. The Tolpuddle Martyrs' fight for decent wages and working conditions is as important in its way as the signing of Magna Carta. Some of the questions Shire Hall's history raises about justice and oppression are still very relevant today. This project aims to blow the cobwebs off and bring alive the building's many stories, as well as conserving the actual bricks and mortar."

#1 New York Times best-selling author Danielle Steel delivers one of her strongest books to date with this trans-generational narrative that draws inspiration from her own family history. Opening on the cusp of World War II and following an aristocratic German family who seeks refuge in America-with their magnificent Lipizzaner horses-this rich historical novel speaks to the transformative power of love and family.
Late 1930's Germany: Best friends Alex von Hemmerle and Nicolas von Bingen, titled childhood friends with neighboring estates, are witnessing the rise of Nazism when Nick's father reveals the long-buried secret of his son's partial Jewish ancestry. Warned by highly placed friends to flee, the only treasures Nick and his sons can take are two dazzling Lipizzaner horses, gifts from Alex. These powerful and majestic creatures become their ticket to a new life waiting across the ocean-one in which a job has been promised to Nick with the famous Ringling Brothers Circus. While Alex and his daughter face escalating danger in war torn Europe, Nick struggles to adjust to life in the circus…until a graceful young high wire walker manages to steal his heart.
Spanning multiple generations and continents, this is a rich, involving story of transformation, perseverance, fate, love, and loss, tied together by two families who were never meant to stay apart and the magnificent stallion that will link them forever.

This is a very belated catch-up and thank you to Veronica (Veronica Roth) and Libby (Truly Myrtle) for giveaways I won over the last few weeks. I really should have thanked them publicly before now. But hopefully later is better than never.
Veronica sent me a copy of a book she loves – Tottering in My Garden by Midge Ellis Keeble. I made a start last night and think I will love it. Veronica writes a beautiful blog documenting her life in Canada (with forays to the UK too – she is an artist and gardener and takes beautiful photographs, sometimes of the everyday and sometimes of the spectacular whether it is of her art or stunning Canadian scenery. I'd thoroughly recommend visiting her blog, it is a warm and beautiful place.
Libby sent me a skein of gorgeous Midnight Yarns hand dyed New Zealand yarn – in a colour-way called 'Mustard from a squeeze bottle'! This was a giveaway from Libby's podcast which she started earlier this year. Libby is a talented knitwear designer living in New Zealand and her blog is a wonderful source of knitting inspiration and information, there's lots of tutorials and tips. I have just finished one of her Settler Shawls and can't wait to share it…..once I have managed to take some photos that do is justice. I feel a certain affinity to Libby, as well as awe at all that she is achieving, as she is a mum of four too and her littlest has just started school…….I'll be in the same boat in 15 months time (gulp!).
Thank you to you both. I love my gifts and feel very lucky to have won.
While I'm here I thought I'd share some photos from a family trip a few weekends ago. We made the most of a Monday off school and set off to the south shore of Loch Ness, an area we haven't explored previously. We stopped at Foyers and had a stunning walk down to the falls and on the way home stopped on the shore of Loch Ness for a picnic………..much to the children's disappointment Nessie didn't make an appearance! We really enjoyed getting into some 'proper' fairly rugged Highland scenery. The Black Isle is a bit of an anomaly for the Highalnds with a relatively mild and very fertile rolling landscape – very different from the landscape that surrounds us just a few miles in either direction.
We have just had a most lovely week with my mum and dad – lots of delicious food and family time, some great walks and plenty hard work in the garden. We now have a frame for our raspberries, a new veg bed and a whole lot of digging completed. Perfect, and thanks so much mum and dad!

Dress// Thrifted (but from Target, though it looks vintage)
Glasses// Kiss
Shoes// Miz Moo
This dress looks vintage but its from target, and it's thrifted. So I made an exception, it's just so cute! I've been wanted a long sleeved dress for a bit now, even if the sleeves are sheer. Just looking at my clothing articles that don't have any sleeves at this time of year give me chills.
My week is going very productive-y. Last week was kinda meh. Working alone from your house gets tough sometimes to keep the moral up and perky. A lot of it was probably severe cabin fever. It seriously won't stop snowing. But the sun is out today, so there's that!
I promise I'm gonna try my hardest to talk less about weather. And not be boring. OK, that's all I got today.

We Now Know : Rethinking Cold War History Paperback
by John Lewis (Robert Lovett Professor of History, Yale University) Gaddis
The end of the Cold War makes it possible, for the first time, to begin writing its history from a truly international perspective, one reflecting Soviet, East European, and Chinese as well as American and West European viewpoints. In a major departure from his earlier scholarship, John Lewis Gaddis, the pre-eminent American authority on the United States and the Cold War, has written a comprehensive comparative history of that conflict from its origins through to its most dangerous moment, the Cuban missile crisis.
We Now Know is packed with new information drawn from previously unavailable sources; it also reflects the findings of a new generation of Cold War historians. It contains striking new insights into the role of ideology, democracy, economics, alliances, and nuclear weapons, as well as major reinterpretations of Stalin, Truman, Khrushchev, Mao, Eisenhower, and Kennedy. It suggests solutions to long-standing puzzles: Did the Soviet Union want world revolution? Why was Germany divided? Who started the Korean War? What did the Americans mean by "massive retaliation"?
When did the Sino-Soviet split begin? Why did the U.S.S.R. send missiles to Cuba?And what made the Cold War last as long as it did?
This is a fresh, thought-provoking and powerfully argued reassessment of the Cold War by one of its most distinguished historians. It will set the agenda for debates on this subject for years to come.

Review by Angelic55blonde
Yet another great book by an amazing Cold War historian. In this book, he uses the latest findings of other Cold War historians as well as the recently opened archives in Eastern Europe. These new documents have altered some of John Lewis Gaddis' conclusions, which is the point of this book. He does heavily rely on Soviet memoirs, for good or bad. I did really like this book and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in the topic.
Review by ScoutJ
The Cold War has hung like a spectre over the latter half of the twentieth century. John Lewis Gaddis is one of the foremost historians of the Cold War and has written extensively on the subject. Prior works specific to the Cold War include The United States and the Origins of the Cold War (1972), The Long Peace: Inquiries into the History of the Cold War (1987) and 2005's The Cold War: A New History. Though all of his works were very well-received, We Now Know is and important work in its own right for a variety of reasons. This work from 1997 was the first of his Cold War histories to be written after the end of the Cold War. Most importantly, the closing of the Cold War led to the opening of previously unassailable archives behind the Iron Curtain. Gaddis utilized those archives and the sources within give a depth to his analysis that was not available when he wrote his earlier works.

One of the examples of this depth and benefits of the greater access is that it afforded Lewis the opportunity to tell the story of the conflict through the thoughts and actions of individual leaders of the time. He paid particular attention to Stalin in this regard. Indeed, Gaddis' conclusion was that if blame for the outbreak of the Cold War were to be laid at anyone's feet, that blame would have to go to Josef Stalin, "as long as Stalin was running the Soviet Union a cold war was unavoidable." Gaddis argued that it was Stalin's own personality and paranoia that made it so.

Additionally, Gaddis used the personalities not only of the leaders, but of the lands they governed to show that the conflict was as much, if not more, about ideology as it was about global power and territory. He contrasted the bombastic demands of Stalin with the quiet behind-the-scenes pressure that United States President Harry S. Truman was exerting on Western Allies to quit their empires and grant independence to India and Indonesia, as the United States was doing in the Philippines. He characterized this as the "authoritarian romanticism" of the Communist Bloc as opposed to the "democratic realism" of the West. For Gaddis, Stalin spoke, while Truman listened.

This is not to say that Gaddis finds no fault with the United States' actions during the period. Indeed, he criticizes the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and its involvement in Latin American regime change. Likewise, he levels criticism at American policy designed to prevent Communist influence in the modernizing economies of third world countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

While very well researched and argued, there are a few issues one could take with Gaddis' work. Chief among these is insisting on choosing where to lay blame. While he certainly made a compelling case for Stalin's culpability in the conflict, it is also possible that in so doing, he perhaps missed some other angles. By doing so, Gaddis chose to forego the opportunity to step completely outside of the event, and instead continued the same path he had laid down in other books. If he were to truly "rethinking" the era, one might think that this work would have been less about blame for the inception and more about analysis of the outcome. This, in turn leads to a second, minor fault, that being that the book only covers through the early 1960s, or roughly, through the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, by CIA-paid defectors and operatives. It would certainly have benefitted the scholarship had he looked at the Cold War in its entirety, which one could reasonably expect from the subtitle.

Who should get an ImPACT evaluation?
Baseline testing is recommended for athletes who play contact sports such as football, lacrosse, soccer and basketball. It is also recommended for athletes who participate in high-impact sports like cheerleading and gymnastics. Baseline testing should be scheduled before the season starts, before a concussion occurs.
After a concussion
If your athlete had a baseline ImPACT evaluation and has since had a head injury, call our concussion nurse coordinator at 404-785-KIDS (5437) to schedule a post-concussive test.

Sorry for typing in English but my Arabic typing skills is very poor!!!
I was very pleased to find this forum as i am currently designing a wooden fishing boat and i wanted to design it properly on a CAD or a professional boat design software
Unfortunately i am not an engineer nor am i experienced in CAD software which is why i am looking for some to help me design the boat.
Please email me on internal forms should there be any one who is willing to help (both professionally or other wise) please feel free to email me and i will provide you with more details.
P.S i live in Egypt
Thanks for all your help and for a wonderful portal of information !
Please email me on forums or vulkyn2gmail.com !!
If no one is able to help can any one refer me to some one who can help me with this project ? ??
what do you have exactly ?do you have for example main dimensions & you want to get the boat lines?
My friend, i'm willing to help you as much as i can, but i prefer to keep our conversation public, so it will be useful to every body.
May be we can use free ship program or Auto hydro.
Many thanks for your kind reply!! i dont mind at all sharing everything but i wanted to avoid confusion !!
Basically there is a boat i took a ride in, the design is very good but i believe the boat has a high center of gravity and might not be comfortable in high seas due to rolling effect.
However the design is extremely light, fast and the water line is rather low so it can be deployed in shallow water.
Now since i love doing projects land designing them, i wanted to design and build the boat using a more sophisticated approach even if its a small 7 meter boat, the least will be tons of experience gained in the process.
now i have pictures and dimensions but i am not sure whats the next step
many thx my friend and god bless !
OK,What is the dimensions ?what is the building material ?this will be driven by an overboard engine ?
the more the center of gravity rises the more the stability decreases & the roll period becomes longer, so the center of gravity need to be adjusted not too high & not too lowis it possible to try to upload some photos ?try here www.4shared.com
6.8 meters total length5.5 water line2.2 width 2 width water line
Wood / fiber composite.
outboard engine 30 or 40 HP depends on prices
cant seem to upload the files :S in all cases im very flexible with the hull design but what i need is to get it on a program so i can tweak and add on the deisgn.
thx for your help my friend
I can give a hand...........may I
Of course !!! i made a very rough design on Free ship .....
feel free to email me or reply to thread !!
many thx !!
[LEFT]Dear All
Please, find attached a step on designing a Fishing Boat for your appreciated comment & Feedback
Fantastic mate !! thats the direction i was heading too !!
Now the question is if we tweak the design what will the advantages be? for example if we make the bow more streamlined and extending it will that enhance speed and make it more stable in breaking the waves?
many thx my friend !! and God bless !
[LEFT]My dear friend,I prefer to use drawings to declear your view point, no need for professional drawings only sketch your point on a paper then attach it.
[LEFT] Hi
Find attached modle I & II Profil and thier estimated Speed/Power curves, as you expect the tweaked & bow streamlined boat (Modle II ) may need less powerI hope that is what you are heading to
Abohamza [/LEFT]
This amazing !! thats exactly my direction !! many many thanks !!! My idea was before building the ship i wanted to cover as many technical design parameters as possible.
Indeed the major point for me is the tweaking, there are so many hull designs some are better in areas than others, as such choosing the right hull and tweaking it is the key factor, exactly like you did for one parameter which is the power for speed....
Basically i want to cover the following points (from my limited experience) in order to find my optimum hull design:1- Optimizing hull efficiency by tweaking / adjusting hull curvature and design2- Optimize ship handling to make it as comfortable as possible, for example extend keel to decrease rolling effect3- Ensure that the structure i design is rigid and sea worthy not weak or has fault points.
I am sorry if im confusing you :S but this is my first time and im trying to cover a whole lot of issues!! i know some of them are minor and will not effect a small boat in a large degree but im so interested in learning im handling this small boat like an oil tanker !!!
Now what i need to do is send u the current design i wanted to work with (if im not troubling u that is) and to try and figure out the above parameters as the hull i like is called a Shoteyaa and is a rather interesting hull design. I took a ride in it and it has some great characteristics (mainly its very light, and has very little submerged area and can be deployed in shallow water, however the ship is slightly unstable and may be not comfortable in medium high water.) which is why im trying to tweak the design to improve it a bit. The design was made by traditional methods (ship yard father to soon ideology) not from an engineer perspective. If i can take that idea put it in a ship CAD software and do exactly what you did but with more parameters i can tweak the hull design and get a better handling ship !! !!!
Again thank you sooooooo much and please if i am taking too much of ur time or anything please tell i dont want to be a burden and you have been a great help so far !!!!
God bless you and many thanks
P.S sorry for the late reply im currently traveling !!
[LEFT]HiOf course you are not taking too much time , I am so happy to talk about naval design especially when putting a target to approachIn fact I thought that I am talking with a non professional person, but now ; after reading your reply I get sure that you have the ability to design an optimum boat as using the marine terminology that way could not be done by an ordinary designer -like me - .So I am waiting for the drawings to learn more from you and thank you indeed for your time
Abohamza [/LEFT]
I have attached 2 pictures of the boat i am re-designing !! I like the tradiotional look, with some color and paint it will look very funky !! (ISA) hope that helps !!! !!
well, yes it helps.it gives more clear idea bout what you mean.
It helps too much..............by the way; where did you take the attached photos?!!
What do you mean it helps too much ? lol !! you got me worried !
In Alexandria
I mean that the attached photos help too much to understand your view point and save time

Email Thom Gibbs with devious schemes for stopping Red Bulls
14.38 Shock! Awe! Overtaking! Final lap excitement! A man in an outfit not sponsored by Red Bull standing on the highest part of a podium! The other two places on said podium still being taken up by men wearing outfits sponsored by Red Bull! Well... it's a start. A thouroughly decent race. Hamilton should be lauded for holding on for fourth after a weekend of regulatory nonsense and his clearly rubbish car. Superb drive from Alonso too, which possibly raises questions about Vettel's abilities. Not so easy when there's people in front of you, is it? Over and out from me, thanks for your company.
14.35 Here are the full results:
1 F Alonso Ferrari
2 S Vettel Red Bull
3 M Webber Red Bull
4 L Hamilton McLaren
5 F Massa Ferrari
6 N Rosberg Mercedes
7 S Perez Sauber
8 N Heidfeld Renault
9 M Schumacher Mercedes
10 J Alguersuari Toro Rosso
11 A Sutil Force India
12 V Petrov Renault
13 R Barrichello Williams
14 P Maldonado Williams
15 P Di Resta Force India
16 T Glock Virgin
17 J d'Ambrosio Virgin
18 V Liuzzi Hispania
19 D Ricciardo Hispania
J Button McLaren
S Buemi Toro Rosso
K Kobayashi Sauber
J Trulli Lotus
H Kovalainen Lotus
Lap 52
1.7 seconds seperate Massa and Hamilton. There's less than a second between Webber and Vettel now. They're scrapping for second! Alonso leads by 20 seconds. Massa is right on Hamilton's back now... Webber is told to maintain the gap between him and Vettel. Booooo. And Alonso has won it! By a long, long way. Massa's past Hamilton! But there's contact... And Hamilton's forced him wide and just, JUST held him off for fourth! What a finish!
Lap 51
Webber's lapping faster than Vettel in second. Massa has closed the gap from Hamilton to just three seconds now!
Lap 50
Massa reduces the gap behind Hamilton from 10 seconds to more like seven during that lap. Hold onto your fourth, Lewis. "Look man, you're not giving me information," says an audibly irritated Hamilton on radio.
Lap 49
Rosberg is concerned about Perez who's nibbling at his heels for sixth place. The pair have both pitted twice. Alonso 19 seconds ahead in first now.
Lap 48
Five laps left: Alonso, Vettel, Webber, Hamilton, Massa.
Lap 47
Massa's being told to target Hamilton now, the Ferrari is lapping at the same fearsome pace as leader Alonso - who is 17 seconds away from Vettel.
Lap 46
The team radio soap opera continues. Hamilton is not bluffing. He's being told to do what he can to hold off Webber, but the man in the earpiece stresses that he does need enough fuel to finish the race. You'd assume Hamilton knows this. Nevertheless Webber has too much for him the DRS zone and duly takes third place.
Lap 45
Red Bull Radio's star DJ tells Webber that Hamilton may, in fact, be bluffing with his slow pace in a bid to make the Red Bull blast his tyres before the end of the race.
Lap 44
Those dastardly chaps from Red Bull tell Webber about Hamilton's fuel issue, so we can expect to see a challenge from the podium by the Aussie. Alonso is way, way out in front.
Lap 43
Hamilton is told he's not saving enough fuel on McLaren FM. He's going to have to ease off, and presumably settle for third. Unfortunately we do not hear Hamilton's surely surly response.
Lap 42
Here's the top 10 with 10 laps left:
1 Alonso
2 Vettel
3 Massa
4 Hamilton
5 Webber
6 Rosberg
7 Perez
8 Sutil
9 Heidfeld
10 Schumacher
Lap 41
Hamilton is ahead of Massa. Button has retired after that extremely disappointing turn of events.
Lap 40
Disaster for Button! He pits then pulls up on the exit ramp. His front-right wheel hasn't been atttached! Deary me, it's a catalogue of pit errors today.
Lap 39
Vettel gets past Massa to take second without much difficulty. Alonso comes into the pits and it's textbook. He's back out in first.
Lap 38
Webber pits, after McLaren told Button to come in with a view to attempting to get past the Red Bull. Button did not come in. A radio dummy?
Lap 37
Hamilton's now in, smooth enough change of tyres, but Vettel has got past him just after the pit lane exit. Hamilton's in sixth.
Lap 36
Vettel pits, he's got a new set of soft tyres on. He re-emerges in sixth.
Lap 35
Vettel gets into Hamilton's slipstream again but can't get past Hamilton, who's fighting brilliantly for his second place.
Lap 34
Schumacher gets past a meek defence from Alguersuari to take 12th.
Lap 33
Webber comes off just after Becketts, and trundles briefly along the wet grass. It's not hurt him too much, he's only lost about a second. Alonso has opened up an eight second lead out in front.
Lap 32
Vettel's edging closer to Hamilton, but the McLaren's holding him off so far. He edged in front of the Red Bull slightly as he made a vague enquiry about getting past.
Lap 31
Alonso with another fastest lap. He's opening a bit of a gap, and Hamilton, Vettel, and Webber are duking it out behind him. Paul Cooper has a succinct answer to my question at the top of this page:
"Make them drink Coke"
Seems to be doing the trick so far today.
Lap 30
Alonso pulling away in the lead, he's over two seconds ahead of Hamilton now. Vettel's mechanic urges him to be patient, as Alonso's being "hard on his tyres". Can't see any evidence of that myself, he's driving impeccably.
Lap 29
Buemi has retired after wrecking his tyre. Kobayashi has also pulled out, as did Trulli after 10 laps. Missed that one.
Lap 28
Now stick with me, I'm really not joking - the Red Bulls are back in third and fourth! Some confusion in Vettel's pit which cost him a lot of time and allowed Alonso to pass him in the pit lane! So Alonso is the new leader, and Hamilton is half a second behind him. Are we actually witnessing a race here? I'd forgotten what one of those was!
Lap 27
Webber, Button and Massa all come in to pit. Buemi and di Resta clash, di Resta loses his nose, Buemi his tyre!
Lap 26
Oh dear, disastrous pitstop for Paul di Resta. It looks like Force India brought out Sutil's tyres instead of his. Schoolboy error, lads. If schoolboys were allowed to work as pit crews. He's lost an age there, what a shame for the Brit who started in sixth.
Lap 25
Alonso posts a new fastest lap and is now only seven seconds off the lead. Kobayashi's car pulls up looking very sad indeed, leaking something ominously from the rear. I imagine that'll be it from the Sauber driver.
Lap 24
Alonso gets Hamilton! Used his DRS as Hamilton stuck to the dry line on track. And Hamilton's now coming into the pits after 11 laps on his tyres.
Lap 23
Hamilton forced to defend now into Vale, but holds off Alonso into the home straight. Hamilton's still the fastest man on the track.
Lap 22
Schumacher's moving back up the field, up to 15th now after sropping as low as 18th after his earlier clash with Kobayashi.
Lap 21
Kobayashi has taken his stop-go penalty for the pit-based naughtiness. Apparently his engine is overheating and spewing blue smoke. Not ideal.
Lap 20
Here's the top 10 after 20 laps:
1 Vettel
2 Webber
3 Hamilton
4 Alonso
5 Button
6 Massa
7 Di Resta
8 Sutil
9 Rosberg
10 Perez
Lap 19
Button's falling away in fifth, he's almost four seconds behind Alonso. Kobayashi, Heidfeld and Alguersuari and battling for 11th, Heidfield has just surged past the Spaniard in the Toro Rosso to take the position in the DRS zone.
Lap 18
Let's tune into McLaren FM: "Lewis, your pace on the last lap was fantastic, 1.4 seconds quicker than Webber."
Lap 17
So Hamilton's gone from 10th to 3rd. A couple of fairly gruesome blips in his move up the field, but he's showed his class in the opening section of this race and underlined his commitment to driving in a slightly silly way to get ahed.
Lap 16
Webber's made up a tremendous amount of time on Vettel, he's now 1.3 seconds behind the leader.
Lap 15
Hamilton making up loads of times on Alonso, and Button completes a terrific lap for McLaren with a breathtaking overtake on Massa. Used the Ferrari's slipstream to get ahead him on the inside and absolutely nailed the corner to go past. And now Hamilton's past Alonso into third! Navigated a wet spot of track and held onto Copse to move up.
Lap 14
Vettel's come in, with a 16 second lead. Sixteen seconds! Crumbs. Button sets a new fastest lap of the race on his slicks. Kobayashi looks set to receive a drive-through penalty for an unsafe pit release which saw him cause a minor collision with a Force India.
Lap 13
Hamilton, Webber, Alonso all on pits and most of the middle order are also having their tyres changed. Massa's still out there on intermediate tyres that look absolutely ruined. Vettel's yet to pit.
Lap 12
Most of the cars are still on intermidiate tyres, but Schumacher's just posted two terrific sectors on slicks, so there's a lot of movement in the pits with several teams prepping new tyres. Hamilton goes outside Massa to take fourth before coming off again at Brooklands, and emerging back where he started in fifth.
Lap 11
Schumacher's in the pits. He had been on radio suggesting he'd be ready to switch to slicks a little later. He's early because he's lost his nose cone as he tried to get past Kobayashi.
Laps 5-10
That's a disgraceful heading for an F1 liveblog update, but then mine is a disgraceful computer. I've changed now so we should be back on track (hur!) from here. Here's what's happened:
- Vettel leads with Webber in second, eight seconds behind.
- Alonso's on his tail, Massa and Hamilton are in chasing pack a second and a half behind him.
- Heikki Kovalainen has retired after coming into the garage after three laps.
Lap 4
Hamilton spins off! Into the gravel at Brooklands, but he recovers, just about, and comes back on having held fifth position, still in front of Jenson Button.
Lap 3
You'll have to forgive me for some rather sparse updating thus far. My computer, in its lovable style, completely imploded about five minutes before the start. From the snatches I'm catching it, Hamilton and Massa are making up ground on Alonso.
Lap 2
Hamilton is absolutely flying, up to fourth already after passing Button. Vettel leads, after a fantastic start took him past Webber.
Lap 1
Clean start from the Red Bulls, despite a challenge from Alonso . Huge amounts of spray coming off the track, those on slicks to start are in trouble.
13.00 The cars are on the grid. Jenson Button, for one, is on intermediate tyres.
12.52 Not an entirely positive reponse on Twitter for that Prince Harry interview. Nor the one with former Star Trek captain Sir Patrick Stewart. Here's Toby Marsh:
"Hey BBC, can we keep the F1 interviews to people involved with the sport? Not Cricketers, actors or princes."
12.40 It's dry on the grid and Brundle speculations the cars could start on slicks. Jenson Button seems a bit dejected as he explains that much of the course is still very wet. Not great body language from anyone at McLaren in the last 24 hours. This could be a disastrous day.
12.37 Martin Brundle fearlessly nabs Prince Harry who's milling about near the start:
Formula One is fantastic, it's going in the right direction. It's great to meet all the guys. The weather's playing a part, as it always is at Silverstone. I'm cheering on Jenson and Lewis, obviously. You know, British, and that. It's going to be a bit of a struggle for them from the back but I think they'll be fine. I'm hoping for rain because I think it will help McLaren.
Charmingly down-to-earth performance from the big man who likes helicopters. Bernie Ecclestone chides Harry for not having a pass. Royalbanter!
12.33 If the Beeb's coverage is anything to go by F1 drivers spend all of their non-race weekends larking about and being filmed. Yesterday Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button took part in an inexplicable segment in which they were acting as fashion photographers? Why? Who knows. Today they've been messing about with jet-skis. Nice work if you can get it.
12.24 It's raining! Olé! If there's any more use of the horrendous tautology "revert back" with regards to these throttle diffusing rules I'm going to punch a hole in my pendant's handbook and send the BBC the bill.
12.15 After a baffling opening sequence of Jake Humphrey, David Coulthard and Eddie Jordan cycling around Silverstone on a tandem-and-a-half (don't know the word for "bike for three", sorry). Humphrey calls this a "pretty special" Grand Prix season. No-one appears to be stifling a giggle. Hard to tell with Jordan though, who has the world's most resolutely emotionless face.
12.10 It's that Fleetwood Mac song we all like a lot! The BBC's coverage is beginning. So who do you fancy today? It's a bit like the Premier League this, the only real excitement is in who's going to finish third. I shall plump for a surprising and car-defying race up the field by Lewis Hamilton. Surely he's just keeping it interesting himself by qualifying in 10th?
12.00 Afternoon friends and fans of the band Motörhead. That's what people mean when they talk about motorheads, right?
It's all exhaust-blowing-throttle-diffusing brou-ha-ha this morning, but is that really going to make any difference when the Red Bulls look like cars from five years in the future compared to the rest of the field?
If there is a challenge to their tiring dominance today it's unlikely to come from the subdued McLaren camp, who finished painfully off the pace in qualifying yesterday.
So it's up to Alonso, Massa or maybe even British hope Paul di Resta in his first Grand Prix on home soil to upset the status quo.
Let's pray for rain.

Hiya guys ILUVRAIN here,
I just wanted to say that I've read some of my stories and I plan on getting rid of them so that I can rewrite them (some) so that they are a lot better, storyline wise. Writing these stories as a 14/15/16 years old just to read them again as a 20 going on 21 year old, as you can imagine, is kind of hard. If you can imagine.
I plan on rewriting Boarding School For Delinquents+ New BFF+ Her hot brothers = The Time of my life so much so that it may seem like a whole new story. I may or may not add some of the scenes that have been in the original story line (but only after some heavy editing), we will see how this goes but I hope I do end up starting this little project!
(Signing in and out on Friday 18th of December 2015)

Now that the dust is close to settling on one of the wildest late November stretches college football has ever experienced, it's only natural to look ahead. No, not at the LSU Tigers-Arkansas Razorbacks showdown or the potentially complicated final BCS calculations; instead, we're doing some early 2012 forecasting and examining the programs that are ready to make the leap from good to great.
Just who will be the next Oregon Ducks, Stanford Cardinal or Oklahoma State Cowboys? These three programs, all of which spent time in the top five of the BCS standings this season, weren't always ranked among college football's elite. The Ducks' emergence began back in 2007 when they hired a mad scientist from New Hampshire, Chip Kelly, to ratchet up their offensive tempo and production. Oklahoma State leveraged new facilities and resources to upgrade their speed and talent, while Jim Harbaugh forcefully willed a culture change on the Farm, maximizing brains with brawn.
Here are five "sleeping giants" poised to have breakthrough seasons in 2012.

#FreeShinji: David Moyes says he had to make straight choice between Nani & Kagawa on the bench
Manchester United were beaten for the first time this season at Anfield, losing 1-0 to long-time rivals Liverpool.
A talking point before kick-off was Shinji Kagawa's exclusion from the entire match squad, despite Wayne Rooney's injury.
The Japanese play-a-maker is yet to start in a competitive match under David Moyes and fans of Borussia Dortmund recently started a Twitter campaign to FreeShinji.
Asked about Kagawa's exclusion in his post-match press conference, David Moyes explained that he had to make a straight choice between Kagawa and Nani for a place on the bench.
Although this makes a little more sense, as Nani is more of an 'impact player', it is a true shame to see a talented footballer like Shinji Kagawa receiving such little playing time.
Could a deadline day loan move back to Dortmund be on the cards? Doubtful.
Moyes was also asked about Kagawa. #MUFC boss says he had to make a straight choice between Nani/Kagawa for place on bench.

The Cosmog's out of the bag on the nominations for this year's Game Awards and there are quite a few noble contenders for the available titles. Among them is #PokemonGO, nominated for Best Family Game and Best Mobile/Handheld Game.
For those who are unfamiliar with the basic descriptions for these categories, here they are straight from the official site:
- Best Family Game - Best game appropriate for family play, including toys-to-life, rhythm/music/dance, and other genres.
- Best Mobile/Handheld Game - For the best game playable on portables devices, including mobile phones and dedicated gaming handhelds.
Here's what I think: Pokémon GO simply should not win.
I know you're probably hurting, but bear with me. This isn't about its serious pay-to-win status or even a value judgment on the game as a whole—I don't necessarily think that Pokémon GO is a bad game... but it's not award-winning either. The game shouldn't win in either category but it most certainly shouldn't win in the Mobile/Handheld category, and I think you might agree. Think about it...
Pokémon GO Is Pokémon Lite
Pokemon GO is and has been essentially a watered down version of the Pokémon games. After my first few days playing, I found myself closing the app and returning to my copy of Pokémon Y. Nowadays, I only ever open it to see if something's changed.
A lot of us found the momentum created by our friends and the Pokémon GO community to be enough to motivate our own active participation. But what was there to look forward to? Why would any current Pokémon player want to play this? The augmented reality screenshots of your catch were fun the first two times but, after a while, you've seen it all. Seeing Zubat in your trashcan starts to get old and the gimmick is hardly enough.
The social aspect outside of sharing photos and achievements is non-existent and the game is actually less about collecting Pokémon and battling and more about leveling up—something that becomes hard to do as the game goes on (in a bad way). Supplementing this with some kind of quest mechanic, or something constantly accessible whether you're moving or not, would be a good start, but I don't see that on the cards.
This isn't really a first for publisher Nintendo—I would also call Miitomo a watered down version of Tomodachi Life and I'd be surprised if Super Mario Run wasn't another 'Lite' meant to drum up enthusiasm for an upcoming major release. Don't get me wrong though, I would be thrilled to be proven wrong on this, but the notion stands.
Pokémon GO Is Kind Of Broken
Slow-to-never loading maps, failed catches and teleporting avatars are only a few of the issues that have become standard parts of GO's gameplay. When you're in a building you can never really be too sure if a PokéStop is near you are not. If you lean a certain way or hang out in a corner for a second, you might get lucky with your wandering avatar getting just close enough. In other cases, you might get a giant glow-y ball thing instead of a Pokémon when on the Catch screen. Nothing a hard reset won't fix but, in bulk, these things are a problem.
While the game is adorable when it works, it's downright frustrating when it doesn't. For all the effort that it requires to play, that frustration can be the bane of the player experience—something to make you wonder whether you're playing a Niantic game or a poorly skinned geocaching affair.
The Pokémon GO Plus Device Has Been A Failure
The Plus device could have been the game changer that GO desperately needed. It has some (two) great features:
- PokéStop Alerts - Visual and tactile notifications for nearby PokéStops and the ability to search them.
- Nearby Pokémon Alerts - Visual and tactile notifications for nearby Pokémon and the ability to throw poké balls at them using the button on the device.
Unfortunately, Nintendo failed to meet the demand for such a device and has subsequently stopped producing them all together, leaving fans merely speculating about a return or revamping of the Plus experience. The one thing really setting this game apart in terms of bringing us closer to the Pokémon experience is no longer a reality for most players hoping to take GO to the next level.
Pokémon GO Is Not A Mobile Game
Pokémon GO is a crummy mobile game because it's not a mobile game. I accept that this is probably going to be the most unpopular argument that I make. I am also going to say that I probably understand and agree with quite a few statements that could be posed to refute this. However, I think that, in Pokémon GO's case, this is important because unless I missed the memo, it's not a fitness tracker—it's a game.
There are fundamental issues with its model that make it an unfit competitor in this category. While Nintendo has really set the bar for incorporating activity into your game-time with things like StreetPass, its line-of-thought here isn't totally compatible with the quest for the perfect mobile game. Even StreetPass gives you plenty to do when you aren't out meeting people!
Sure, the hallmark of mobile gaming is its portable nature, but Pokémon GO isn't real-life portable. When there is no movement, there is no gameplay. This is a game that will struggle in the winter when you can't (or don't want to) go outside, and it is a game that becomes boring when you try to use it while you're in the waiting room at the doctor's office, or when you're a passenger in a car.
Where Does Pokémon GO Fit In, Then?
A more viable competitor for Pokémon GO might be something like Zombies, Run. If there were a category dedicated to video game adaptations of the Geocaching hobby, GO would have a nice comfy home there along with Ingress and Shift. These are games that name and embrace their reliance on the experience created by the player without posing as something else.
It could be argued that Pokémon GO got away with (and continues to get away with) a lot of rookie mistakes that an indie game or otherwise non-AAA level title would really suffer for without this super-IP behind it.
Many people say that Pokémon Go was never meant for hardcore gamers. That may very well be—but most of the games in this category are for gamers.
As of right now, I don't see Pokémon GO (or any of Nintendo's future releases) transcending this unbearable cycle of half-baked "Lite"-ness, and it's for this reason that I think it would be a shame if GO took home this award over others or even the unsaid fourth that would have replaced it had it not been nominated in the first place.
Of course, the gaming world will voice it's judgment on the matter on December 1st during the 2016 Game Awards, streamable on most devices from 8/9c.
How do you feel about it? Does Pokémon GO deserve its nominations, or can you think of a better fit in either category?

I can not find a really good guide on this anywhere. I am starting to become pretty familiar with my Linux system. But, this is one thing that bothers me. What are the different folders specifically used for.
So far as I can tell,
/etc seems to contain system config files
/bin contains the executable path to programs
/usr/bin contains more programs
/usr/lib contains application config files
/home has all your junk in it. Certain application settings and personal files
/root roots home folder, I think mine is empty
/boot contains stuff to boot up with.
Is there a really good guide to what these and other folders are used for? I would assume there has to be some form of a standard so people arnt just putting config files anywhere and so forth.

The problem with a convert box is that you cannot do "timer recording" because there is no way to change the channel automatically (timer). You might have to go with dvd recorder with a built-in tuner.
I have a new digital 21" HD ATSC tuner television in my 30' travel trailer, and I'd like to hook up my older (2005) VCR with built in NTSC analog tuner to it. The problem is that there is no cable or satellite signal for my TV in the location I'm at, only over the air broadcasts. The amplified rooftop antenna brings in at least 8 HD stations at very good picture quality (1080). Now I know that the VCR needs to be hooked to a converter box for channels 13 and under coming over the air: but how do I hook up the DTV converter box so that so I can record and playback (in 480)and when not using the VCR watch TV in HD. Will a separate line with splitter and bypass switch work without weakening the signal? Or how about splitting the signal from the antenna amplifier and running two lines? Do I need a second amplifier? Any good ideas would be appreciated.

Linotype Introduces 19 New Typeface FamiliesNew Linotype releases exclusively in Open Type format (October 28, 2004)
Linotype introduces 19 new typeface families for a variety of practical and specific design applications. From completely developed families like the highly legible and flexible Diverda to just-for-fun fonts like the edgy Sharquefin, Linotype continues to deliver a wide spectrum of up-to-date type solutions to meet the modern user's every demand.
Another highlight is Cisalpin, developed especially for cartographic uses, but as the family works so well in small sizes, it will certainly find plenty of other practical applications as well.
Other fonts range from the modern Danish style of Noa and the classic modern look of Liga Sans to the refreshing collection of icons and pictograms found in Tips – while original display fonts conjure up immediate ideas for application, like the rustic, esoteric feel of AdPro or the luxurious grace of Bodebeck.
Users will also find warm new text fonts like Veronika as well as charming, quill-inspired fonts like Byngve and Caterina. Or for more experimental types, how about the highly constructed Why Square? Or its less inquisitive counterpart Just Square!
Finally, typography specialist André Maassen contributes the highly sophisticated Varius, inspired by the f-holes on a violin built by Giacomo Antonio Stradivarius in 1702 – ideal for a wide range of applications, including, of course, a complete set of beautifully drawn musical symbols.
All of these new fonts from Linotype are available for purchase exclusively as individual weights in the Open Type format.

Shoyu Poke Selection Rationale
Tanioka's Seafoods and Catering - Named "Best Poke" from 2006 thru 2008 in the Honolulu Advertiser's Best of the Best People's Choice Awards. This place is legendary among local folks for their poke and other grinds like their musubi and fried chicken. Self-proclaimed "Poke Master" Sean liked this place too.
Keeaumoku Seafood - My friend Sean, who is the self proclaimed "Poke Master" recommended this place as one of his favorites. He said they use some of the freshest and best quality cuts of fish he's ever had.
Sam' Club - We just wanted to see how this supa ginormous market's shoyu poke would hold up against the little Mom and Pop fish market's shoyu poke.
Alicia's Market - For the past 40-50 years, this place has been well known among local folks for their poke and roast beef and char siu ribs and other grinds. Also was recommended by some of the Moms on HawaiiMoms.com.
Poke Stop - In 2007 was named 3rd place for Best Poke in the Honolulu Advertiser People's Choice Awards. In 2006 was named in the top 3 best poke in the Honolulu Weekly.
Foodland (Koko Marina) - We heard some stories from family and friends that they make good shoyu poke. In 2008 was named 2nd place in Honolulu Advertiser People's Choice Awards.
Fort Ruger Market - In 2006 was named in the top 3 best poke in the Honolulu Weekly. On Dan's Hawaii blog, it was named best poke in Hawaii. Oishii Eats blog called this poke a big hit.
Foodland (Control Double) - We entered Foodland shoyu poke 2 times to test the judge's credibility. If the judge's knew what they was doing, they should score the Foodland shoyu pokes about the same.
JJ Seafood - My Uncle Shag, from the Windward side, recommended this place as one of the best shoyu poke he's had. He's not a self-proclaimed "Poke Master", but he's the Uncle that get plenty experience with beer and pupus.
Costco - This shoyu poke is a favorite of my nephew Jacob, so I thought we go try em. Also wanted to see how this big store would hold up against some of the Mom and Pop fish markets.
Marujyu Market - Among the people from Central District Aiea/Pearl City, this place is famous for their poke and Hawaiian food. Also on KHNL Cheap Eats, Lyle and Sam named this as one of their regular stops.

Study: Less than 30% of energy consumers highly engaged with smart grid
Dive Brief:
- A new study examining consumers' level of engagement with the smart grid finds that while 28% of respondents were considered highly engaged, most consumers believe they are energy conscious in general.
- While highly engaged customers agree reducing energy waste is important, the study found low energy engagement consumers, though to a lesser degree, also want to do what they can to lower their energy bill and believe it is important to not be wasteful.
- Ultimately most consumers are motivated by savings, the report found. "Few explicitly state they purchase and use these energy management products to help the environment," the Smart Grid Consumer Collaborative (SGCC) said.
Dive Insight:
SGCC said it completed the Motivations & Emotions of Engaged Consumers report to better understand "consumer engagement, consumers' motivations for engaging with their utility and/or energy use, and what emotions result from that engagement." The results show that most respondents think curbing energy use is a good thing, but just how much action they take varies on many factors.
"For low engagement consumers, it's all about saving money," SGCC said, according to Transmission & Distribution World. "The average engagement group also focuses on money, but is more likely to mention environmental issues. The high engagement consumer mentions money, environment, and responsibility most often. ... high engagement consumers are more likely to be future-oriented in their motivations, while low engagement consumers are more likely to be present-oriented in their motivations."
The group with the highest energy engagement and greatest energy consciousness tended to consist of college graduates with a household income in excess of $75,000.

New Build Kernel-Power Event ID:41 Task Category (63)
OK just built an new PC everything is working great but I have 2 strange issues.
1) if I switch off power by the mains then switch it back on then turn on the PC it starts to boot for 2/3 seconds then turns off then restarts again and boots normally.
2) Randomly last night it randomly restarted twice out of nowhere all I was doing was downloading games on steam and browsing the web. I then checked the event viewer and I see Critical error Kernel Power event ID 41. now I'm using the pc now the exact same way as I was last night but no restart and I do not know what this error means or how to go about solving it.
Here is the event log

Sorry for the lack of outfit posts lately. My face has taken a while to recover from both an allergy break out and an infection in a nerve in my cheek that makes my face swell, ooze, and do some other fairly gross stuff. It's now at a level where I can hide it enough that I feel okay-ish about putting current day pictures of myself on the interweb again.
As this blog post unfolds you'll find that its being used as an excuse to tell you about one of my current favourite online stores (Zaful), but also talk about David Bowie....because I will always try and shoehorn him into as many conversations, articles, videos as possible.
So, a couple weeks ago I took my first trip to Comic Con. I'm not a huge fan of computer games, comics and a lot of the cultish scenes/worlds covered at the event, but I am obsessive about movies in general, so there was still plenty on display to get my geeky juices going. I made a decision that I woudn't allow myself to go nuts when it came to spending, because I really don't need more trinkets, artefects, toys etc...my house is overgrown with piles from my youth that I still can't bare to part with. However, I did decide that if I found some awesome t-shirts connected to some of my favourite nostaglic movies I may allow myself to be a little bit indulgent.
Five minutes in to the chaos and multi sensory bizareness that resides at Excel over that weekend, I stumbled across a stall of dreams. There were rows and rows of merch Tees of pretty much every iconic, cult, franchise, comic TV/FILM you've ever loved or at least heard of. But not only that, there were tees, jackets and hoodies representing my favourite bands and artists too. I could feel my grip on my finaces loosen as my eyes scanned the impressive selection. I could even start hearing voices in my head reassuring me that it was ok to buy lots because....
'They'd get so much wear'
'I'd regret it if I didn't make the most of the opportunity'
'I need some mementos from my day at Comic Con...surely'
'It would make good content, people love hauls'
You get the picture. In short, there was no way I would be able to drag myself away from that store without spending more than I should. Which also means I would have to try and smuggle it to my bedroom, otherwise I may have to deal with another chat from the parents about my financial woes and stuff like...responsibility.
So as well as a marl grey Gremlins tee, and a David Bowie one, I also discovered a Labyrinth one. I can't say I stumbled upon it I actually asked the guy to check his computer database to see if he had one with him. Sadly the mens fit ones were already gone but they had a woman's one left. It wasn't the fit I generally go for but the print was so cool, I HAD to have it.
When I excitedly whatsapped some friends pictures of my purchases many of them replied (lightheartedly and with no malice) referring to me as a geek. I didn't flinch or see reason to argue with this, and it made me realise how my relationship with that word has changed over the years.
I think when you're at school being described as a geek can be derogatory, perhaps highlighting that you're not of the mould to be able fit in with the 'cool' people. Sometimes it was used because you appeared to prioritise studies/education and being a well-behaved student over having fun or joining in with the class clowns. Sometimes the label would be attached if you didn't put an emphasis on keeping up with fashion and what the other kids were wearing on mufty day, or weren't wearing the type of school shoes that were the must-have at the time. Occasionally it was because you were simply uncool and geeky by association.
I remember this one guy was picked on and called a nerd, geek (and all similar titles) due to his apparent obsession with Dinosoars. Although I was never bullied and was lucky enough to get on well with all the different groups (and levels of coolness) at school, there were still there odd comment and gentle teasing regarding some of my obsessions and interests. I used to make scrap books about Manchester United, and I remember bringing them with me to a school trip and people finding them in my rucksack and laughing at my effort and dedication and unwillingness to just leave it at home. I also remember some people thinking I was silly for being so die hard about certain bands and the fact I'd show my allegiance by tipexing their logos on my pencil case and folders.
Now as someone well in to adulthood (not that my situation mirrors that) I have a better handle on the word and what it means, or at least how I believe it should be interpreted. If you are conscientious and hard-working that's a great thing, and no-one should not be judged negatively for it. I have huge amount of admiration for people that put in effort and go the extra mile, and those who don't just talk about what they want from life, they make changes and steps to try and enhance their career or life so they can tick off those goals.
There there's passion. When you see people eyes get bright and twinkly when they talk about whatever it is that truly tickles them or makes their heart swell. When there vioces increase in speed at pitch when they talk about it. When you're so into something your happy to devote much of your time, conversation, and sometimes even money, to it. But it's more about how it makes your day a bit more fulfilled and joyous, or how it give you things to look forward to. Perhaps that things encourages you to think or create or even socialise. Geeking out on something is fantastic!
I personally think life would be very dull if we didn't have those people, hobbies, interests or objects that made us giddy, and even a bit ridiculous at times. I love that my obsession with movies means there is always something that can keep me occupied at home. I will never run out of movies to watch and every first viewing of a film will bring that amazing excitement of wondering whether it will become a new favourite. Maybe I could discover a new actor that makes me believe everything he is saying and who has the ability to draw me completely in to the story. Perhaps I'll be swept up in the emotion due to an atmospheric score. Perhaps I'll be inspired by the visuals which will end up being imitated in my YouTube videos. Then there's those bands, the ones I play every single day, and have done since I was a teen. The songs that I make everyone I care about listen to until they agree with me about their greatness.
Funny how one Labyrinth Tee has made me go off on a tangent , but I just wanted to write down in case anyone reading has been labelled and Geeky and is still at the stage where they see it as a negative. Please go forth and carry on enjoying that thing that makes you happy. Life's short, so if there's a thing that can sprinkle or even dollop some happiness on your day that's a wonderful thing, whatever anyone else thinks about it! Plus there's nothing less attarctive than apathy, I like to be around people who care about something, even if it's not the something I care about.
You will have seen the brand Zaful mentioned on this blog numerous times over the summer. They were responsible for 100% of my holiday swimwear this year and I was so happy with all three sets of bikinis. Not only were the colours and prints wonderful, they fitted so well, which I think is the most important thing when you're purchasing swimwear. You want to feel nipped in where intended, and covered up and enhanced where desired. In terms of our style moments, most of us feel at our most vulnerable when scantily clad on the beach, so finding suits and sets that make you feel comfortable is key. Although these are still in prime condition after my holiday ( no bleaching, bobbly, or stretching) I can imagine I will return to Zaful for next summer's beach-wears as I'm sure they'll have even more irresistable numbers.
With the success I've had with the website over the last few months I can't help but feel a little bit miffed that I've only just discovered it. If you love high street trends and they way they filter and translate high end designer looks to make there more wearable for us normal folk, then you will LOVE the offerings on Zaful.
But the best thing is the prices. Not only do most products seem to be noticeably more affordable than other high street alternatives, there are often sales and offers on the site which make your splurges even more guilt-free.
The site is also very user friendly and I have been hugely impressed with how fast the deliveries arrive.
My love affair with biker jackets has been long one, but I have to admit to being a bit of a floosey throughout. I'm always looking for the perfect one, but during my ongoing quest find numerous examples to settle with while my hunt for perfection continues.
My wardrobe/loft/coat cupboard/brothers bedroom has become a bit of a faux leather and suede graveyard, there lies discarded jackets who failed to stay for the long haul due to their failings in having quite the right fit, hardwear, level of shine, lapel size...and so on.
Till a couple of weeks ago I didn't have a brown one in circulation, but now I have it in my possession it takes prime position on the coat rack, and I really don't know how I lived without it. You always imagine that black coats are the most sensible purchase due to their versatility and ability to go with pretty much everything, but I've found the same to be true for this brown one. Not only does it seem to go with most colour combinations, it feels a bit less harsh than a black biker and adds a bit more warmth to my pasty winter skin. It's faux suede too which is fab if like me you are trying to be a bit more conscious about your fashion/beauty purchases, but it also means it is incredible comfortable and moulds to the body. The crop style of this jacket also makes it ideal to be paired with high waisted items like the denim skirt, and most of my jeans. So although the hunt for the perfect black leather biker rolls on, this one has filled the brown biker quota.
I just adore this denim skirt, it's a more grown up approach to the style staple. I used to be all about the denim mini skirts with the distressed hems that you'd wear with spaghetti strap or silky slip tops for nights out or on summer holidays. The last few seasons I've moved on to the A-line button denim skirts in dark denim, that I could wear in the summer of team with tights and jumpers in the chillier months. But upon discovering this midi length slit pencil skirt I feel my denim relationship has evolved further into a territory that's a bit classier (and probably a bit more age appropriate).
I decided to team with my Ziggy Stardust-esque Silver boots (New Look) because I have short leg from knee to ankle which can look a bit squat in a midi length if not given a boost by heels. But for those a bit more blessed or who prefer a comfortable look, you could easily pair with some converse style shoes.
It looks far more expensive that it's price tag too, thanks to the gold buttons and quirky off centre placement. I also think a dark denim always looks a bit more luxurious and smart too.
What do you think of this look? Have you shopped at Zaful? What do you geek out on?
