Healthcare is probably the single biggest issue in our country right now, as republicans try to dismantle our current system and progressives push for single payer healthcare. Indeed, more Americans than ever are interested in single payer healthcare: 33% say we should adopt such an approach to healthcare (up 14% from 2014), and 60% say that the federal government has a responsibility to ensure its citizens have healthcare coverage (whether that be public or private).
This stands in stark contrast to the current republican government's approach to healthcare, which, judging by the legislation they've written, is that you should only get healthcare if you can pay for it. Naturally, republican politicians have taken to all forms of media to speak out against single payer healthcare.
But really, there isn't much of a data-driven argument against single payer healthcare. We know that it's significantly cheaper. We know that the health outcomes for people tend to be the same, if not better. No, people in Canada and Sweden aren't dying in the streets because of "rationed care."
The main objection to single payer healthcare, as far as I can tell, is completely philosophical and boils down to one simple question:
Is healthcare a right or a privilege?
Ask most conservatives and they'll probably tell you it's a privilege, not a right. I've had numerous conversations about that with people lately, and I'd like to closely examine this argument.
There's an underlying assumption in this conservative argument that healthcare is a privilege, namely that there is some finite amount of rights in existence, and everything else is just a privilege. The conservative argument that healthcare is a privilege seems predicted on treating rights as if they're matter or energy–they can be neither created nor destroyed.
To that end, many conservatives use the constitution as the end-all-be-all of rights. If it isn't in the constitution, it isn't a right and therefore must be a privilege. This meme perfectly illustrates this line of thinking:
This is a particularly bizarre argument given that the founding fathers purposely created a constitution that can be changed, amended. And indeed it has been, 27 times. 100 years ago this meme could have said, "Trying to find in the constitution where it says women have the right to vote." Or you could have run this meme in 1859 to say, "Trying to find in the constitution where it says black people aren't personal property." It's just a foolish argument.
But the point is that rights aren't some static, finite thing. You're given new ones all the time. The 26th amendment gave 18 year olds the right to vote. The 17th amendment gave you the right to vote for your own state senators. Prior to those amendments being written, those rights did not exist.
Similarly, rights can be taken away. The 18th amendment took away your right to manufacture or sell alcohol. That one was repealed, thankfully.
The ultimate point here is that rights aren't written in stone. We give ourselves new rights all the time, as the previous examples showed. So why couldn't healthcare become a new right?
It almost was. FDR was on the verge of introducing a second bill of rights in the 40's, shortly before the end of WWII.
Unfortunately, FDR didn't live long enough to see this enacted, and it became a mere footnote in American history. I'm sure though, that many conservatives would argue that FDR was some kind of communist for this proposal. Ironic, given that in this short speech he seems intent on protecting free markets.
So then, what would be the argument that healthcare is indeed a right? Well, if you're having a conversation with someone who wants to use to constitution as an argument that it's a privilege, try giving them this line:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
It's right there in the preamble. "Promote the general welfare." What's the argument that single payer doesn't fulfill this part of the constitution? Or, conversely, how does a "you can have it only if you can pay for it" model promote the general welfare?
But, one might argue, even if healthcare were a right, that doesn't mean that government run healthcare is. Perhaps it's simply a matter of the government ensuring that you have access to affordable care. On the surface, this seems like a valid argument.
Well, this is where I would point out that single payer healthcare is vastly cheaper than the alternative. But even ignoring that point we could still make an argument for it. If we were to argue that "promote the general welfare" means that the government is obligated to look after the health of its citizens, that doesn't necessarily follow that you need to use it. If you want to buy your own private insurance, you should be free to do so. And indeed, in many countries with single payer healthcare, citizens have every right to buy their own supplemental or private coverage. Just because the government offers a single payer option to its citizens doesn't mean your right to choice vanishes. Indeed, perhaps a little competition between the government and private industry would be a good thing.
If nothing else, we could look at this issue through an ethical lens. If your neighbor was dying and could be saved, but he doesn't have the means to save himself and you do, are you ethically or morally obligated to help him? What would you want if you were the dying neighbor?
Ultimately, I think I can walk away from this post to leave you with a couple of ideas. First, in reality, there is very little difference between a right and privilege. Indeed, I might argue that a right is simply a legally protected privilege. Which means, as we've seen throughout history, we are capable of being granted new rights if we demand them, if there's a referendum on them. Second, if a government has an obligation to look after the welfare of its citizens, there is no reason why this should stop at healthcare. We'll subsidize your education, your protection, your infrastructure–the line drawn at healthcare seems completely arbitrary.

Fully Secure (Doubly-)Spatial Encryption Under Simpler Assumptions
Spatial encryption was first proposed by Boneh and Hamburg in 2008. It is one implementation of the generalized identity-based encryption schemes and many systems with a variety of properties can be derived from it. Recently, Hamburg improved the notion by presenting a variant called doubly-spatial encryption. The doubly-spatial encryption is more powerful and expressive. More useful cryptography systems can be build from it, such as attribute-based encryption, etc. However, most presented spatial encryption schemes are proven to be selectively secure. Only a few spatial encryption schemes achieve adaptive security, but not under standard assumptions. And no fully secure doubly-spatial encryption scheme has been presented before.

Wynn Vale
1,483 people in Wynn Vale had a tertiary qualification in 2011.
Educational Qualifications relate to education outside of primary and secondary school and are one of the most important indicators of socio-economic status. With other data sources, such as Employment Status, Income and Occupation, Wynn Vale's Educational Qualifications help to evaluate the economic opportunities and socio-economic status of the area and identify skill gaps in the labour market.
Derived from the Census question:
'What is the level of the highest qualification the person has completed?'
Persons aged 15 years and over

Here is the remarkable story of how medieval Arab scholars made dazzling advances in science and philosophy, and of the itinerant Europeans who brought this knowledge back to the West. For centuries following the fall of Rome, Western Europe was a benighted backwater, a world of subsistence farming, minimal literacy, and violent conflict. Meanwhile, Arab culture was thriving, dazzling those Europeans fortunate enough to catch even a glimpse of the scientific advances coming from Baghdad, Antioch, or the cities of Persia, Central Asia, and Muslim Spain. There, philosophers, mathematicians, and astronomers were steadily advancing the frontiers of knowledge and revitalizing the works of Plato and Aristotle.
In the royal library of Baghdad, known as the House of Wisdom, an army of scholars worked at the behest of the Abbasid caliphs. At a time when the best book collections in Europe held several dozen volumes, the House of Wisdom boasted as many as 400,000. Even while their countrymen waged bloody Crusades against Muslims, a handful of intrepid Christian scholars, thirsty for knowledge, traveled to Arab lands and returned with priceless jewels of science, medicine, and philosophy that laid the foundation for the Renaissance.
In this brilliant, evocative book, Lyons shows just how much Western culture owes to the glories of medieval Arab civilization, and reveals the untold story of how Europe drank from the well of Muslim learning.
"Sophisticated and thoughtful... In The House of Wisdom, [Lyons] shapes his narrative around the travels of the little-known but extraordinary Adelard of Bath, an English monk who traveled to the East in the early 12th century.... Mr. Lyons's narrative is vivid and elegant." (Wall Street Journal)

A CLASS-ACTION lawsuit alleging the Queensland Government was negligent in the management of its dams during the 2011 Brisbane River flood has been delayed because of a last-minute rush of people signing up for the suit.
Law firm Maurice Blackburn has extended the deadline to sign up from the end of February until April 11.
IN PICTURES: Before and after pictures one year on from 2011 floods
Hundreds gather to discuss class-action lawsuit
Flood class action takes next step
The firm had been expected to file its lawsuit in the NSW Supreme Court shortly after the initial deadline.
More than 300 new people have joined approximately 5000 flood victims who have either signed up for the suit or expressed an interest.
"There is obviously still a high level of interest from people in registering for the action, so while we process the extra volume of claims people still making their decision will also have that further time to sign-up before registration closes"
The suit is being filed in NSW because Queensland does not have a class-action lawsuit regime.
There were NSW victims of the flooding, but the suit will also include Queensland victims.
The lawsuit will claim people were flooded needlessly or suffered greater damage to their properties because Seqwater engineers did not operate the Wivenhoe and Somerset dams properly.

Windows 7 Ultimate SP 1 32bit
External HDD Not Reading
I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 that I purchased back in 2006. I replaced the internal HDD a couple of years ago with a larger one by Western Digital and have been using the old HDD as an external drive with a casing and USB cable. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate SP 1 32 bit. I have 4 GB of RAM and the WD internal is a 120 GB 5400 RPM HDD. I have kept my system pretty well updated and perform regular maintenance on it (which is the only way I am still able to use a laptop purchased in 2006 with little to no problems).
Recently, when plugging in the old internal hard drive and trying to access it, I receive the error message "E:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." I have received this error in the past from accidentally bumping the USB cable when working on a file on the old internal hard drive. In the past I have run check disk and it has fixed it. This time, when I run check disk as /f /r and /x, I receive the message "Cannot open volume for direct access."
The old external drive is a Hitatchi Travelstar Model: HTS541060G9AT00. It is a 60 GB 5400RPM disk drive. I am using iMicro (TM) 2.5" IDE HDD External Enclosure to make it an external hard drive. I have updated drivers and have run check disk. I have also restarted the computer. I have tried accessing it while in safe mode. Yet, still I cannot figure out what is wrong or how to fix it. I have searched other forums/threads and they say to create a system repair disk and attempt that. However, I doubt that will help considering it does not have separate partitions on it since I have reformatted it since it was an internal HDD and have been using it as an external with one partition and no OS files on it.
If anyone has and ideas please let me know. I have some files on there that I need to access ASAP if they are still recoverable. Thank you.
(I have attached a screen shot showing that the drive is visible in My Computer, the first error message, and the error messages from the check disk. I am running command prompt as administrator.)

Human Cathepsin H Protein expressed in Human - ABIN413149
Murakami, Tolstykh, Bao, Niu, Steuer, Bao, Chang, Espiritu, Bansal, Lam, Otto, Sofia, Furman: Mechanism of activation of PSI-7851 and its diastereoisomer PSI-7977. in The Journal of biological chemistry 2010
the up-regulation of MMP genes is mediated through degradation of class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) by certain cysteine cathepsins (Cts (show TTR Proteins)).
Especially, rs3825932 in CTSH has integrative functional evidence supporting the association with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
p41 (show EPB41 Proteins) fragment is also shown to reduce the secretion of interleukin-12 (IL-12 (show IL12A Proteins)/p70 (show ANXA6 Proteins)) during the subsequent maturation of treated dendritic cells.
In conclusion, CTSH/rs3825932 and ERBB3 (show ERBB3 Proteins)/rs2292239 SNPs were associated with reduced risk of progression to proliferative diabetic retinopathy and two-step progression of diabetic retinopathy on the ETDRS scale accordingly.
mutation in LRPAP1 is associated with high myopia. Further studies are expected to evaluate the pathogenicity of the variants in CTSH, LEPREL1, ZNF644, SLC39A5, and SCO2.
The data provide strong evidence that CTSH is an important regulator of beta-cell function during progression of T1D
Quantification of immunohistochemistry showed that there is no difference in the global expression of CTSD (show CTSD Proteins), CTSH and CTSK (show CTSK Proteins) between asthmatics and non-asthmatics.
CtsH-mediated processing of talin might promote cancer cell progression by affecting integrin alphaVbeta3 (show ITGAV Proteins) activation and adhesion strength
The processing of procathepsin H is an autocatalytic, multistep process proceeding from an inactive 41kDa (show GPM374 Proteins) pro-form, through a 30kDa (show SAP30 Proteins) intermediate form, to the 28kDa mature form.
CTSH overexpression in a subset hepatoma may be thyroid hormone receptor (show THRA Proteins) dependent and suggests that this overexpression has an important role in hepatoma progression.
Cathepsin H knockout mice show reduced brain levels of (Met)enkephalin and galanin (show GAL Proteins).
cathepsin H is involved in the SP-B production.
In two mouse models of pancreatic islet cancer, deletion of CtsH reduced tumor progression; mechanisms involved impaired angiogenic switching from premalignant state, poor vascularization of tumors, and increased apoptosis.
In proteolipid protein transgenic mice cathepsin H is upregulated primarily in microglia/macrophages of white matter.
Presence of cathepsin H and (bone morphogenetic protein 4)BMP4 (show BMP4 Proteins) in lung or other developing organs suggest that cathepsin H regulates BMP4 (show BMP4 Proteins) proteolysis in morphogenesis.
The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase important in the overall degradation of lysosomal proteins. It is composed of a dimer of disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, both produced from a single protein precursor. The encoded protein, which belongs to the peptidase C1 protein family, can act both as an aminopeptidase and as an endopeptidase. Increased expression of this gene has been correlated with malignant progression of prostate tumors.

Once upon a time, in a very far-off country, there lived a merchant who had been so fortunate in all his undertakings that he was enormously rich. As he had, however, six sons and six daughters, he found that his money was not too much to let them all have everything they fancied, as they were accustomed to do.But one day, a most unexpected misfortune befell them. Their house caught fire and was speedily burnt to the ground, with all the splendid furniture, the books, pictures, gold, silver, and precious goods it contained. However, their father received the news that one of his ships, which he had believed to be lost, had come safely into port with a rich cargo. All the sons and daughters at once thought that their poverty was at an end. Only the youngest daughter had any doubt but that they would soon again be as rich as they were before. Only Beauty did not ask for anything.
Her father, noticing her silence, said "And what shall I bring for you, Beauty?" "The only thing I wish for is to see you come home safely," she answered. Her father was pleased, but as he thought that at her age she certainly ought to like pretty presents, he told her to choose something. "Well, dear father," she said, "as you insist upon it, I beg that you will bring me a rose...."
Children and adults alike will become immersed in the performance of this classic 18th -century fairy tale as retold by Andrew Lang in 1889. Even the name of Lang's famous first collection, which contains both "Beauty and the Beast" and "Cinderella" - Blue Fairy Book - is magical.
Audible listeners will be familiar with the warm, benevolent tones of Roscoe Orman. Though Orman is best known for playing "Gordon" on Sesame Street, in this audiobook he can summon the deep, menacing voice of the Beast as well as the sweet, endearing voice of Beauty. Non-royal children will relate to the plain social standing of the heroine, and will be edified by the fairy tale's underlying message that appearances can be deceiving.

DAILYKENN.com -- In an effort to become cultural-Marxism complaint, the Navy is undergoing a massive job-title change that will scuttle gender specifics.
The change is an outgrowth of the 'sacred science' that men and women are the same as held by the cultural Marxism sect.
|Click ▲ to watch
Navytimes.com described the change:
The Navy deep-sixed all of its 91 enlisted ratings titles Thursday, marking the beginning of an overhaul of the rigid career structure that has existed since the Continental Navy in a radical shift sure to reverberate through the fleet and the veterans community beyond.Dailycaller.com reported:
Sailors will no longer be identified by their job title, say, Fire Controlman 1st Class Joe Sailor, effective immediately. Instead, that would be Petty Officer 1st Class Joe Sailor.
The Navy announced Thursday that it's removing all historic job titles and replacing them with occupational specialty codes, as opposed to direct titles, effectively removing the word "man" from job titles in a roundabout way.
The sole survivor is the title "seamen."
• Cultural Marxism is an effort to stratify all segments of society into a Mao-suit sameness, ignoring natural differences such as gender and race.
The reason?
Economic Marxism depends on the illusion that wealth disparities are attributed to social injustice when, in fact, wealth disparities in free-market economies are the effect of natural aptitudes and abilities.
• The myth reflects the fifth of eight mind reform (brainwashing) strategies outlined by psychologist Dr. Robert J Lifton. He called it "sacred science."
It is seen when myths are accepted as true science. Those who dare challenge the sacred science suffer dire consequences. This was seen when Galileo disputed the sacred science of Catholicism that contended the earth was the center of the universe.
It was seen when James Watson suggested sub-Saharan Africans were intellectually inferior and again when an Olympic gymnastics official noted that blacks were generally not good swimmers due to physiology.
Italian Gymnastics Federation official David Ciaralli was quoted as saying, "Why are there no black swimmers? Because their physical features don't suit the sport."
According to dailymail.co.uk:
Ciaralli also said that black people 'may not have some of the necessities to be, let's say, a field manager or a general manager' and that they aren't good swimmers because they 'don't have the buoyancy'.Like Galileo, Ciaralli was compelled to recant of his "heresy" against 'sacred science'.

Soldiers want lightweight gear, and that's what the 240LW machine gun aims to provide. "It's made for machine gunners by machine gunners," said Jordan Progar, with Barrett's international sales team. The 20-pound gun cuts 5 pounds from its traditional weight by losing extra steel that was part of its riveted box receiver. The lightweight receiver is built from forgings that are then welded together.
With no extra steel or rivets to vibrate loose, the receiver has two components, compared with 64 in the original M240. The quick-change barrel is 21.5 inches and is belt-fed using M13 links.
The quick-detach and adjustable-height bipod latches at the hinge instead of the receiver and folds to the front or rear.
Progar said troops will love how easy it is to clean the 240LW. "Military guys hate cleaning guns," said Progar, who served in the Marine Corps.
The gun's internals are coated with nickel boron — all you need to clean it is a baby wipe, Progar explained. Progar said Barrett has received orders from three countries — 2 NATO countries — for the 240LW so far.

By Mr. GRASSLEY (for himself, Mr. Conrad, Mr. Johanns, Ms. Klobuchar, Mr. Franken, Mr. Johnson of South Dakota, Mr. Harkin, and Mr. Nelson of Nebraska).
S. 884. A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for a variable VEETC rate based on the price of crude oil, and for other purposes; to the Committee on Finance.
Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I am pleased today to be joined by a number of my colleagues in introducing the Domestic Energy Promotion Act of 2011, an important piece of legislation that I believe is a good starting point in how tax policies for ethanol should evolve. I am joined in this effort by Senators CONRAD, JOHANNS, KLOBUCHAR, FRANKEN, Tim Johnson, HARKIN and Ben Nelson.
Over the years, I have supported domestic ethanol production as a means to improve the environment, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, increase our national security, and bring economic activity to rural America. Those efforts have undoubtedly been an enormous success. Domestic biofuels now supply more than 13 billion gallons of homegrown fuel, accounting for nearly 10 percent of our Nation's transportation fuel needs.
In 2010, Congress enacted a one-year extension of the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit, or VEETC, also known as the blenders' credit. This 1-year extension has allowed Congress and the domestic biofuels industry to determine the best path forward for Federal support for biofuels. The legislation we are introducing today is a serious, responsible first step to reducing and redirecting Federal tax incentives for biofuels.
This legislation will reduce VEETC to a fixed rate of 20 cents in 2012, and 15 cents in 2013. It will then convert to a variable tax incentive for the remaining 3 years, based on the price of crude oil. When crude oil is more than $90 a barrel, there will be no blenders' credit. When crude oil is $50 and below, the blenders' credit will be 30 cents. The rate will vary when the price of crude is between $50 and $90 a barrel. When oil prices are high, a natural incentive should exist in the market to drive ethanol use.
It also would extend, through 2016, the alternative fuel refueling property credit; the cellulosic producers' tax credit; and the special depreciation allowance for cellulosic biofuel plant property. The bill would modify the alternative fuel refueling property credit to allow the credit for ethanol blends from E20 to E85. The credit would apply to 100 percent of the cost of the property, so long as dual-use pumps are used partly for alternative fuels. Finally, the bill would extend the ethanol import tariff, through 2016, stepping it down to 20 cents for 2012 and 15 cents for 2013 through 2016.
This legislation is a responsible approach that will reduce the existing blenders' credit and put those valuable resources into investing in alternative fuel infrastructure, including alternative fuel pumps. It would responsibly and predictably reduce the existing tax incentive, and help get alternative fuel infrastructure in place so consumers can decide which fuel they would prefer. I know that when American consumers have the choice, they will choose domestic, clean, affordable renewable fuel. They will choose fuel from America's farmers and ranchers, rather than oil sheiks and foreign dictators.
Some of my colleagues have argued that it is time to end the incentives for biofuels immediately and entirely. Not only is this bad energy policy, poor tax policy, and dangerous to our national security, it is also intellectually dishonest. I believe a discussion concerning our Nation's energy and tax policy should be debated in a comprehensive manner. Biofuels are not the only form of energy that receives incentives or supportive policies from the Federal Government.
How about the incentives for wind, oil, natural gas, nuclear, and geothermal? If the Senate intends to consider reforms to biofuels incentives, it should be in the context of a comprehensive review of all energy tax incentives. This bill is meant to serve as a first step in the process. This bill demonstrates a significant reduction in biofuels incentives over the next 5 years. I challenge my colleagues to find any other energy source that is contributing as much to our economy and energy supply that is willing to step up and do that in the current legislative debate.
Now is not the time to pull the rug out from under the only domestic renewable energy source that is making significant contributions to our energy supply. I thank my colleagues for their support, and I look forward to a comprehensive discussion to advance sensible, responsible energy tax policies.

Jarvan IV General Guide by Varamis
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Jarvan IV Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Twisted Treeline
Obviously each game will be different, and you likely won't be going against a team with all AD or all AP damage being dealt (if you are, it should be much easier to win; you'd be surprised how many all AD team's you'll fight at low rank play with no tanks).
It's up to you to itemize on the fly based on the opposing teams composition. The items listed above are simply what I deem, and from experience feel are items worth buying on TT.
So lets lay you're fighting a fairly standard team on TT
This team comp is pretty vicious, and is pulled from what I deem to be top tier characters on TT (see the amazing post Kings, Titans and Gods of 3s by Adonikam)
You'll probably want to do something like this.
Start with
+1 Boots
x3 Health Pots
Merc Treads
Aegis of the Legion
Warden Mail
Randuin's Omen
Other items that are of note: Guardian Angel, Force of Nature, oh, and WARD + ORACLE's (for all those Eve, Shaco, Twitch ninja's out there, and to a lesser extent Vayne and Teemo)
I can't stress enough how important wriggles is on this map, especially if you're playing a character like Jarven, who (provided there is at least 1 AD champion on the enemy team) makes incredible use of all that wriggles provides.
Harass with Q and last hit, you should be bottom with an ally, or solo if you have a good jungler. Try and conserve mana for the ganks and team fights so you always have plenty of gas to E buff the team and combo with Q, W can also save your life and insure the kill on enemies.
Don't jump the gun on you're ult, it's probabaly the best initiator in the game, and you don't want to jump into a 3v1 because you were overzealous, especially in low rank games where your team mates will just part like the red sea, watch you die and call you a n00b. You'll simply be left thinking (well, I thought they were right behind me, wtf o_O)
Keeping it brief, but not much else can be said without play testing it.

Sunday 24th December, 2006 - Christmas Eve! -
:holly3: :santa2: :santa1: :xmas_smilies_daz: :santa1: :santa2: :holly3:
:holly2: merry christmas eve!:holly1:

tonight we'll be attending midnight mass at the cathedral in the city, preceeded by the singing of carols at 2300. before that we plan on driving past the houses all decked out and lit up for christmas and have a ganders at the pretty lights. the gifts are all wrapped, the food is all bought and ready for preparing and cooking tomorrow. the christmas music is playing on the cd player. my brother phoned and wished us merry christmas & invited us to visit in the coming days and meet up with my niece's & nephew's, (including grand niece's & nephew's :icon_lol: ), who are visiting from interstate and we've not seen in a few years. even though he won't be home for christmas, ds is still in country and hasn't been deployed overseas (yet!), sooooo we have much to be joyful about!
and ................. we've had rain!!!
the weather is cooler. why, i've even got the heater on! in the middle of an australian summer! :icon_rolleyes: :icon_cool: :icon_lol: incredible! tomorrow is predicted to be another cool day too. great for cooking the turkey! hopefully other states will also receive good rain and the bushfires will abate.
wishing everyone a safe-happy-healthy-joyous-christmas!
cheers.................... :santa5: :ball: :santa1:Dec 23, '06sounds beautiful...you have a way with word
going to drive to see elder dd tomorrow...have dirty rice made and ham is ready to be baked when i come home tomorrow
enjoy your church services and the rest of the holidayDec 23, '06thanks chats, you enjoy your celebrations too!
?????? may i ask and please excuse my ignorance....... what is 'dirty rice?'Dec 23, '06Merry Christmas Eve, Grace.
Your post frightened me, though. I thought I got behind. I forgot to get some stuffing ingredients and will have to grab some tomorrow. You made me think we weren't going to have a proper stuffing.
Chats, I'll wish you a Merry Christmas Eve tomorrow. :Santa3: :Reindeer:Dec 23, '06Merry Christmas eve everyone. I can't believe it's a-comin'. Gotta go to bed now. Too tired and falling asleep over the keyboard. Will try to get back here later this evening when I return from dinner at Db's. Hope you all have a God-blessed day.Dec 24, '06GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Evening/Morning/Afternoon!! Santa is most certainly on his way tonight!!! Woot!!! :Santa2: :Holly2: :Holly2:
We drove out to Oceanside to spend an early Christmas with mil . . stopped by Buffalo Brothers, a WONDERFUL stringed instrument shop in Carlsbad!! Got a Christmas CD that is EXCELLENT! We're listening to it now, it's Christmas Guitars, by Paul Johnson. His own arrangements of Christmas songs, multiple recordings of him playing different acoustic guitars, and it is just FABULOUS!! I did a little digging and found out he's been playing guitar since the 60's, and is famous for Mr. Moto, Wipeout and other surfer songs. Right now he plays in the group The Duo-Tones. VERY TALENTED MAN!!! Anyway, he does have a website: Paul Johnson's Guitar Heaven and a lot of his work is available there for listening (and downloading, I believe).
I shuttled the kids to different parties after we got home from Oceanside, and dh and I were going to hear a jazz band at a local restaurant, but it got cancelled, so we're here at home: dh is installing a 5th string capo on a banjo, and I'm multi-tasking: eating and 'puting!! Soon, though, I'll wrap the Santa gifts, ready for distribution tomorrow nite (it's Sat nite now).
Almost was involved in an accident on the way home from Oceanside. Some small car, while merging to my right, *apparently* didn't see my HUGE EXPEDITION and just almost merged right into me!!! I braked and ended up moving a little into the lane to my left, to avoid being hit, as he just KEPT COMING!!! I'm fairly sure he did NOT see me. Dh says I squealed the brakes, which I don't remember, . . All I remember is thinking "That guy is coming over and is NOT stopping, I gotta MOVE!!! without flipping us!! without hitting anyone else!! YIKES!!!" Got a great adrenalin rush.
But we're OK, praise God.
Well, I better wrap gifts. Bless you all. --- DDec 24, '06It is still the 23rd here, but Happy Christmas Eve to those who are currently observing that day. I made make ahead mashed potatoes today, but I think I fluffed them too much. There's not much heft to them. I'm wondering if I should boil a couple extra potatoes and add them in to stiffen up the mixture.
We're having ham this year, and I picked that up today. Tomorrow, I'll pick up the banana cream pie that is our traditional Christmas dessert. My son's school had an international foods day and he discovered a prosciutto and mozzarella roll that he requested we have for our appetizer on Christmas Day. I couldn't believe it when he told me that he tasted haggis at the same event. In a million years, he wouldn't try haggis if I put it on the table here at home (although, I wouldn't do that in a million years, either!)Dec 24, '06merry christmas everyone!!!!
it is the day before christmas here in texas and i do not have the presents wrapped or the turkey defrosted.........
i'll catch up ....probably by next christmas..... hope all of you have a safe and glorious holiday....be safe:spin::spin::spin::spin::spin::spin::spin:Dec 24, '06hahahaha, mercy, kids are soooooooooo funny with their tastes!! It's good he's trying new things, at least (but I agree: YECCCCCHHHHHHH to the haggis!!)!
Sounds like you have everything in order for dinner!
Gotta run pick the kids up from their parties, BBL!Dec 24, '06Quote from grace ozi'm not from louisiana but think dirty rice is made when you saute the "holy trinity", diced onions, green peppers, and celery in grease meat was cooked in. you can add green onion, parsley, red pepper, salt and black pepper to taste or ready miked creole seasoning. add water and cook rice.thanks chats, you enjoy your celebrations too!
?????? may i ask and please excuse my ignorance....... what is 'dirty rice?'Dec 24, '06thanks space, for that explanation. sounds different.
enjoy your christmas!
the countdown is really on here now, it's 8.30pm christmas eve! :holly3: :santa3:
i guess once santa's finished his deliveries "down under", down here, he'll head on "up/over" to deliver to you mob up there! :icon_lol:
Dec 24, '06Good Morning
I have to work today, but I am off tomorrow. I hope everyone has a good day, no a Great day. Love ya all!!!!Dec 24, '06Good Morning! Happy Christmas Day down under!

Backgrounds of lightly-colored hues abound in this week's Friday Likes with work from the UK, Russia, and Greece.
Potwash Josh
The task for this student project was to "make a seemingly un-brandable field of work appear extremely professional." Preston, UK-based Sam Sharples chose the field of washing pots for fictional industry superstar "Potwash John". Being student work there are a few details about the identity that are a little undercooked, but the main visual device of the pink and blue plastic against light blue and pink backgrounds respectively truly elevate this humble pot washer into a fashionable brand. The humor of the concept and execution are scrubby-good. [More].
Meaning "raspberry" in Russian, Malina is a new internet television channel that "depicts and is intended for those whose life is bright and successful." What I understand is that the programming is led by experts in their fields, including "deputies, ministers, businessmen, renowned musicians and public figures" that serve as hosts and journalists. Yekaterinburg, Russia-based StreetArt created an explosive identity around the color of raspberry, instead of trying to include the raspberry somewhere in there. It's hip, it's internet-ey, it has the professionalism of a regular TV channel, and it sometimes goes boom — see animations at the link. [More]
Elina's Bakery
Baking goodies from her home in Athens, Greece, Elina Smith's logo is as charming as a baby cupcake. Mixing an oven with a roof's house, the message couldn't be clearer: homemade. It's not a perfect logo, it's perhaps a little too thick, with some of the corners getting a little mushy but it's a real tasty idea. The logo and identity, designed by local designers George Strouzas and Konstantina Yiannakopoulou, are printed on lightly-colored hued papers and is complemented by an illustration of lots of big buildings, which seem like another project altogether but I guess they do sort of help offset the little house as something special among the city's bustle.

Follow Michael Babad and Globe top business news on Twitter
Canada an easy place to do business Canada scores exceptionally well in an annual World Bank study on red tape.
The country ranks 13th in the look at business regulations by the World Bank and its International Financial Corp. arm, and is lauded particularly in the area of starting up a business. Canada actually slipped one notch, to 13th spot overall, but is still among the top countries of 183 listed.
Ranking ahead of Canada are Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, the U.S., Denmark, Norway, Britain, South Korea, Iceland, Ireland, Finland and Saudi Arabia.
Those at the bottom of the list include a handful of African countries and Venezuela. The winner of the bottom spot is Chad, which got knocked off the second-to-last position that it held last year by the Central African Republic.
Overall in the world, things are getting better, according to the report, notably in Sub-Saharan Africa, where both starting a business and doing business have become easier. Around the world, 125 governments brought in 245 reforms.
"Starting a business is a leap of faith under any circumstances," the report said.
"For the poor, starting a business or finding a job is an important way out of poverty. In most parts of the world small and medium-size businesses are often the main job creators. Yet entrepreneurs in developing economies tend to encounter greater obstacles than their counterparts in high-income economies."
Canada holds the No. 3 spot for how easy it is to start a business, and its representatives are now advising countries "as diverse as" Peru and Indonesia, the report said. Still, it found some trouble spots where Canada is concerned.
"Its ranking is three on both starting a business and resolving insolvency, and five on protecting investors. But its ranking is only 59 on enforcing contracts, 42 on trading across borders and 156 on getting electricity."
It noted, too, that Canada made paying taxes easier and less costly by cutting corporate rates and harmonizing sales taxes. The information is good up to June 1, so it didn't catch up with the rejection of the HST in British Columbia in August.
The World Bank isn't the first to note Canada's business-friendly environment, or the HST, for that matter. Early this month, Forbes ranked Canada top in the world for doing business, also missing the death of the HST in B.C.
(Don't take this to mean that I have a problem with the decision of B.C. voters. I'm just pointing out the studies.)
Despite the fact that it ranks at the bottom of the World Bank report, even lowly Chad "made starting a business easier by eliminating the requirement for a medical certificate and by replacing the requirement for a copy of the founders' criminal records with one for a sworn declaration at the time of the company's registration."
There were also some global setbacks, including rising fees and taxes. Among the dumber things:
"In Albania dealing with construction permits became more difficult because the main authority in charge of issuing building permits has not met since April 2009."
"Bangladesh made getting electricity more difficult by imposing a moratorium on new electricity connections from April 2010 to March 2011 because of an electricity supply shortage. This moratorium has led to long delays for customers and has increased the time to obtain an electricity connection."
"In Guyana transferring property became slower because of a lack of personnel at the deed registry."
"Access to credit using movable property in Tajikistan became more complicated because the movable collateral registry stopped its operations in January 2011."
EU moves closer Watching developments in the euro zone is like reading a whodunnit that runs 500 pages too long but nonetheless leaves you hanging at the end of each chapter.
As The Globe and Mail's Eric Reguly reports today, Europe's leaders are closing in on a plan to ease their prolonged debt crisis, discussing a sweeping proposal to recapitalize euro zone banks to the tune of some €100-billion, boost the heft of a bailout fund known as the EFSF, and strike a deal with private holders of Greek debt to take a bigger haircut in a restructuring, something in the area of 50 per cent compared to an initial goal of 21 per cent.
As always where the 17-member monetary union is concerned, it will take another summit to agree to all this, later this week.
"Though details of the Grand Plan remain elusive, it is clear that an agreement is in the making, with discussions hitting the right notes," said Sue Trinh, senior currency strategist at RBC in Hong Kong.
"Decision day is Wednesday, when we will get the crucial details on how the EFSF resources will be deployed, how Greece's debt restructuring will be structured, and how much further capital European banks will need."
France and Germany had been at odds over with the rescue fund could be financed by the European Central Bank – France wanted that, Germany was opposed – though it appears that will not now happen.
One of the things to also come out of the summit was a kick in the pants to Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Europe's leaders want him to give more thought to reform measures, and he has called a Cabinet meeting for today.
Shares of Greek banks fell sharply today given the amount of government debt the institutions hold.
The divergence of Europe, China Fresh economic readings today highlight the divergence between the economies of Europe and China.
Purchasing managers indexes from Markit show a hit to both the manufacturing and services sectors in the euro zone, dipping further below the 50 point that separates contraction from expansion. The so-called flash reading showed the euro zone PMI slipped to 47.2 in October from 49.1.
In China, though, the manufacturing PMI from HSBC/Markit climbed to 51.1 from 49.9.
"The rebound in the flash manufacturing PMI estimate for October from HSBC/Markit supports our view that China's economy has at least been stabilizing," said Qinwei Wang, China economist at Capital Economics in London.
"However, production is unlikely to pick up strongly in the near term amid weak conditions in the other major economies."
Barbie, meet Barney Barbie's about to get some new friends.
Mattel Inc. announced today that it has struck a $680-million (U.S.) cash deal to acquire HIT Entertainment from a consortium of investors.
HIT is more in the pre-school area, boasting such brands as Barney (the dinosaur), Thomas & Friends (the tank engines), Bob the Builder and Angelina Ballerina.
Mattel already offers major toy lines such as Barbie, Hot Wheels and American Girl.
Vatican urges reform The Vatican today added its voice to the growing calls for financial reform.
The Roman Catholic Church wants a global governing body and something akin to a central world bank, saying that the economic and financial troubles of the world demands that people "examine in depth the principles and the cultural and moral values at the basis of social coexistence.
Today's 18-page treatise from the Vatican also slams what it calls the "idolatry of the market."
"In fact, the crisis has revealed behaviours like selfishness, collective greed and hoarding of goods on a great scale," the document says, according to The Associated Press. (I kind of think this has been going on for centuries, and it didn't take the crisis to tell us that.)
Here's the key passage: "In economic and financial matters, the most significant difficulties come from the lack of an effective set of structures that can guarantee, in addition to a system of governance, a system of government for the economy and international finance."
What to watch for this week Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney takes centre stage, first with the central bank's policy announcement on tomorrow and then with the release of its monetary policy report Wednesday.
"The Bank of Canada won't surprise markets at its policy meeting that day, shrugging off upside surprises to core inflation and holding rates at a stimulative 1 per cent, pointing to external uncertainty and sluggish growth," said Emanuella Enenajor of CIBC World Markets. "The MPR release (Wed) should add more colour to the BoC's cautious outlook, likely to include downgrades to prior growth forecasts."
The U.S. Commerce Department reports Thursday on how the economy performed in the third quarter. Economists believe the report will show America's gross domestic product expanded at an annual pace of 2.3 per cent, bouncing back from the 1.3 per cent of the second quarter and the 0.4 per cent of the first.
"A pickup in personal consumption, an acceleration in business capital spending and a rebound in the auto industry likely more than offset further cutbacks in municipal government spending to pull the U.S. economy away from the recession edge in Q3," said senior economist Sal Guatieri of BMO Nesbitt Burns.
Several major U.S. companies report quarterly results, but Canadian earnings really kick into high gear with the likes of Canadian National Railway Co., Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd., Goldcorp Inc., Rogers Communications Inc., Methanex Corp., Barrick Gold Corp., Teck Resources Ltd., Maple Leaf Foods Inc., Nexen Inc., Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan, and TransAlta Corp.

China moves on leaks China is cracking down on leaks of economic data.
According to reports today from Beijing, China has jailed two people for giving out information on key indicators.
One was a researcher with the country's central bank, the other an official with the statistics agency.
Queen feels chill The Queen is feeling the chill of high energy prices.
According to The Financial Times, while her income is flat, fuel bills have climbed by 20 per cent. The newspaper calculates that the bill for her palaces should come in at about 8.2 per cent of income this year, which puts her almost in the area of what's known as fuel poverty, when you pay at least 10 per cent of yearly income to cover the cost of keeping your home warm.
Citing a draughty castle, the newspaper says there are signs in Buckingham Palace to switch off lights, which the Queen herself also does.
In Economy Lab Let's suppose that the government decides to increase personal income tax rates on high earners. Stephen Gordon examines what happens next.
In International Business Netflix is set to launch its online TV and movies subscription service in Britain and Ireland early next year, The Financial Times reports.
In Globe Careers When two companies come together in a merger or acquisition, they often don't come together, Harvey Schachter writes.

Cdc Gun-Shy About Arms Studies
Wed., May 1, 1996
The federal Centers for Disease Control quietly is retreating from new research on gun-related injuries, now the second-leading cause of death among Americans between the ages of 10 and 24.
Some researchers believe the change is a response to political pressure. The National Rifle Association repeatedly has urged Congress to kill the CDC division responsible for gun research.
That division, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, has produced uniquely influential studies about the risks of gun ownership.
However, in its latest request for injury research proposals, the CDC hardly mentions firearms.
In stark contrast to previous requests that specifically invited firearms-related research, the latest announcement encourages applicants to focus instead on "social and economic factors that influence assaultive behavior."
Researchers say it is the first time in the 10-year history of the CDC's injury-prevention grant program that firearms appear to be excluded explicitly as a topic of inquiry.
Controversy over the CDC's research on gun injuries has been simmering for years, virtually since a 1985 report by the National Academy of Sciences declared injuries of all types the nation's No. 1 public-health problem.
In response, the CDC renewed its research into car crashes, drownings, falls, fires, poisonings, domestic violence - and gun injuries, which are expected to surpass motor-vehicle accidents as the nation's leading cause of fatal injuries by 2001.
CDC studies have been particularly influential on the risks associated with gun ownership, producing widely cited work showing that a gun in the home nearly triples the risk of the killing of a family member and increases the risk of suicide fivefold.
But that work has aroused the ire of pro-gun activists, who accuse the CDC and the public health community in general - of displaying an "overt anti-firearms bias."

In the digital age that we live in, we have so much amazing technology at our fingertips, which is great to have (I'm a big techno-nerd). There are so many benefits to living a digital lifestyle – convenience, accessibility and reach for starters. We can keep in touch (and re-connect) with friends and family like never before.
That being said, I still believe that photography is best appreciated and enjoyed only once it is printed. How romantic is it to sit behind a computer screen with your fiancé and look at your engagement pictures? Or how nostalgic is it to sit on the couch with your kids and a laptop to flick through family pictures? Not very …
We are behind computers enough with work, our phones, GPSs, and so on. Something as important as pictures should be enjoyed distraction-free and without the limitations (and speed) that digital brings us.
We created this fun parody video commercial showcasing our point. – imagine a completely digital lifestyle and not being able to enjoy printed photographs? Pretty boring, wouldn't you say? Not to mention the fact that the medium (discs and harddrives) that we store digital files on will eventually fail, go out of style or completely go out of market (much like the floppy disk).

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Miami Marlins 9/11/14 MLB Pick and Odds
Miami Marlins (71-73) at Milwaukee Brewers (75-71)
MLB Baseball: Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 8:10 pm (Miller Park)
Nathan Eovaldi (R) (6-10) (4.290) vs. Michael Fiers (R) (5-1) (1.944)
The Line: Milwaukee Brewers -165 / Miami Marlins +155 --- Over/Under: 8 See the Latest Odds
TV: FS-Florida, FS-Wisconsin
The Milwaukee Brewers and the Miami Marlins close out their series at Miller Park in Milwaukee on Thursday.
The Milwaukee Brewers dropped the first two games in their series with Miami but they got the win on Wednesday over the Marlins. Carlos Gomez and Gerrardo Parra each had two hits and Jonathan Lucoy had a hit as the Brewers scored four runs on eight hits. Starting pitcher Wily Peralta allowed five hits and a runs while striking out five over 6.2 innings to get the win and go to 16-10 for the season and Fracisco Rodriguez earned his 40th save. For Thursday's game the Brewers start Mike Fiers who has won five of his last six starts. For the season Fiers has allowed 30 hits and 11 earned runs while striking out 51 over 48.2 innings for a 5-2 record and a 2.03 ERA.
USA TODAY Sports
The Miami Marlins are looking ahead to next year and after taking the first two in Milwaukee they couldn't get it done on Wednesday. Marcell Ozuna hit a home run, Adeiny Hechavarria had two hits and Christian Yelich had a hit as the Marlins scored one run on six hits. Starting pitcher Jarred Cosart allowed four hits and two runs while striking out seven over 6.0 innings to take the loss and fall to 4-2 for the season. For Thursday's game Miami start Nathan Eovaldi who has lost his last four games. For the season Eovaldi has allowed 194 hits and 83 earned runs while striking out 130 over 178.1 innings for a 6-10 record and a 4.19 ERA.
Milwaukee is 6-16 against the spread in their last 22 games, 2-6 as a favorite, and 5-1 in Fiers' last ix starts. Miami is 4-2 in their last six games, 4-1 against a right-handed starter, and 1-5 in Eovaldi's last six road starts. Miami is 8-20 in the last 28 meetings of these two.
The total is set at 8.5 but that looks to be on the high side so my free pick is the under. My stronger pick is on the wining side and I will post that in the Premium Area as well as the App.

I sold this pretty figurine via my online shop/website, Delightfully Vintage Shoppe, which is set up like a blog, with each new item being a post. I did a little research when I listed it, but now that it is sold, I will be deleting the post.
I realized that I should have put the info-post here in the first place, so that my hard work isn't for naught, and doesn't disappear. Lesson learned, that's what I will do in the future. Meanwhile, I will transfer the few bits of research that I already did, starting with this one.
Most of the Pretty-Lady Cordey figurines and busts have scrolly curly Q's, applied roses and ruffles. They also have REAL LACE that was dipped in liquified clay. Delicate and easily chipped, but so pretty and unique.
About Boleslaw Cybis, the artist behind Cordey / Cybis, from the wonderful CYBIS PORCELAIN (link to website) :
- Born in Lithuania, 1895; studied art in St. Petersburg; came to the United States in 1939; painted a mural at the New York World's Fair.
- In 1942 he opened a studio in Trenton, N.J. called Cordey China Co. The company made giftware - figurines and busts with ornate applied flowers, ruffles and scrolls.
- Around 1950 he also started his CYBIS STUDIO.
- Cordey continued production until sometime in the mid 1950's.
- The Cordey China Co. was sold. Cybis had already started his Cybis Studio, which is known for fine artworks, and it is still in business.
- You may visit the gallery and museum (link) to view the collection of porcelains from Boleslaw Cybis' early Neo-Meissen rococo and papka styles.
- Boleslaw Cybis died in 1957
More info from a short article by Sharon Payne (here).
"... Although on rare occasions some items were not numbered or signed, the basic figure was cast both with numbers and the Cordey signature. The molded pieces were then individually decorated and each marked with its own impressed identification number as well as a mark to indicate the artist-decorator. Their numbering system began with 200 and in later years progressed into the 8000's ..."
Above, a couple other Cordey busts, that Worthpoint discussed here .

Quick Review of Blu R1 HD
Display is average and acceptable for this price range. The Gorilla Glass protection adds more value to the display. The MT6735 Quad-core processor is almost a year old specs. Except one or two new low price smartphones, most of the smartphone makers ditched using this Quad-core processor.
The 1GB RAM is not all good for anyone. So, it is advisable to go with 2GB RAM variant. It is good for multitasking. It is to be noticed that, the maximum expandable storage is only 64GB. Cameras are average level in pixels. But somehow they try to add value with features such as Autofocus and LED flash in both front and back. Battery is not bad for this price range. We can expect a day of backup with this battery on casual usage.

Eversheds advised the Department for Transport on its £534m South Central rail franchise, which has been awarded to Dickinson Dees client Southern Railways.
Eversheds partner Mark Brunton led on the deal, which will see South Central provide services on the London to Brighton and Gatwick Express route.
Dickinson Dees' partner David Rewcastle advised Southern Railways.
The deal will also see key improvements to suburban services, such as longer trains during peak times and more trains on popular routes.
Brunton said: "This particular franchise has a number of different elements. The impact of the Thameslink development, in particular the redevelopment of London Bridge, has made quite a difference to the deal. It's one of the more detailed franchise deals because of this."
Eversheds has advised the Department for Transport since 2005 on a range of rail franchise deals.

I am using Gnumeric on OZ 184.108.40.206 GPE, and currently when opening a new instance I have the default font size set to Sans,Normal,10 which is larger than the default row height "12.750"
Obviously I can reset the row height for the entire sheet to "20.25" but ideally I would like to be able to change the defaut so all cells automatically are correctly sized height wise.
Anyone got any ideas of where the default settings are storred for gnumeric so I can edit the relevant file

Reserves and related items (BoP, current US$)
Definition: Reserves and related items is the net change in a country's holdings of international reserves resulting from transactions on the current, capital, and financial accounts. Reserve assets are those external assets that are readily available to and controlled by monetary authorities for meeting balance of payments financing needs, and include holdings of monetary gold, special drawing rights (SDRs), reserve position in the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and other reserve assets. Also included are net credit and loans from the IMF (excluding reserve position) and total exceptional financing. Data are in current U.S. dollars.
Description: The map below shows how Reserves and related items (BoP, current US$) varies by country. The shade of the country corresponds to the magnitude of the indicator. The darker the shade, the higher the value. The country with the highest value in the world is China, with a value of 117,784,000,000.00. The country with the lowest value in the world is Russia, with a value of -107,546,000,000.00.

Periodicity: Annual
General Comments: Note: Data are based on the sixth edition of the IMF's Balance of Payments Manual (BPM6) and are only available from 2005 onwards. In BPM6, the headings of the financial account have been changed from credits and debits to net acquisition of financial assets and net incurrence of liabilities; i.e., all changes due to credit and debit entries are recorded on a net basis separately for financial assets and liabilities. Financial account balances are calculated as the change in assets minus the change in liabilities; signs are reversed from previous editions.

Double the bun, double the fun.
Celebs like Sofia Richie and Cara Delevingne have long been acquainted with the messy bun and the top knot, so it was only a matter of time, really, until they got bored. While the type of bun you wear on the regular says a lot about you, it actually says more when you're willing to step out of your comfort zone with a rad, new style.
"Most people might be intimidated by a double-bun style because it can border on juvenile, but it's a really fun, of-the-moment hairstyle for summer," shared celeb hairstylist Suzie Kim. If you're game to give it a go, here are three simple versions you can try at home!
"This is probably the lowest-key way to do the double bun," shared Suzie.
Melissa Hebeler / E! News
Step 1: Part hair down the middle and secure each section into two low ponytails. "You don't need to brush your hair smooth; it looks better a little messy because when it's sleek and tight it can look childish," warned the pro.
Melissa Hebeler / E! News
Step 2: Twist each pigtail loosely and use a teasing brush to tease upwards. "You can spray a little dry shampoo on the area before you tease to give it a little texture if needed," shared Suzie.
Melissa Hebeler / E! News
Step 3: Wrap hair around the base and secure with bobby pins. "To keep it looking wispy and boho-like, tug at your buns to pull them apart a little," she summed up to complete the look.
"This is an editorial look, so only go this route if you're a high-fashion kind of girl looking for some newfound edge," encouraged Suzie.

Step 3: Place the bottom bun in the center of the lower section and loop both buns loosely, being sure not to pull your hair all the way through.
