Messenger Bag Finish.
But FRIENDS. That totally just changed. I finished THIS bag. And it's one of my favoritest things I've ever made.
And it's not for me. *Sigh.* I told my husband many many many many many months ago that I would make him a messenger bag. And a button down shirt. And some bowties. And the other day he asked if I'd make him a smaller bag for his iPad. And I said YES. Because I love that dude, and when he asks me to make him something, how can I say no? But it's time to knock out some of that list, and I started earlier this week by making him a sweet bowtie out of a small bit of Juliana Horner fabric that I was saving for a mini quilt. Then it was bag time.
This bag was a struggle in some regards because I couldn't find a pattern that had everything I wanted. And my bag making skillz trembled at the prospect of drafting one from scratch. So! I used this tutorial by Heart of Mary and this tutorial by Crazy Little Projects and then used my own measurements and added some other stuff that wasn't in either. My bag has three exterior pockets, one interior zipper pocket, and one slip pocket designed for pens.
First, the noticeable mistakes/problems/things I'm not 100% pleased with:
1. The handle is probably too long. But I didn't have my husband to measure it by.
2. I placed the slip pocket a little too high in the interior.
3. Also, I used fusible fleece, but it doesn't have a ton of structure--I think next time I'd want to use something like Soft and Stable to give it a bit more oomph.
As to the things I DO like, oh man. That lion fabric! The placement of the lions on the front was a complete accident, but I heart it something fierce. I also love that it looks like a bag, not like something I threw together in a hodge-podge manner. (And since it took about a KAJILLION hours to make, it had better.)
I would love to make another...but I need a bit of a break first. (Also, I have a bookshelf bee block I need to churn out and a mystery quilt for which I need to cut fabric.) One day, there will be a snazzy cool messenger bag for me too.
3 comments:
The lions are very fierce and the positioning is so perfect under the flap. As I was reading I was wondering if there is some kind of clip or slide you could add to the strap to help shorten it up a bit... and then I ended up watching a bunch of YouTube videos and getting sucked into a time vortex and have nothing to suggest or help. ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha! We have all fallen victim to YouTube, Yvonne!Delete
I think it's so cool that your husband wants handmade goodness. And -- eep! -- these C&S lions make for such a handsome messenger bag. Well done, my friend.ReplyDelete
Your process of finishing a bag and then critiquing it -- noting the couldas, wouldas, shouldas -- is much like my own. Perhaps that's why I tend to make bag patterns again and again. After a go or two, I realize how I can make the bag more functional for me. I say, give it another go -- but the next one should be for keeps! : )

Words by Matt Jarvis
When it comes to the best big movie monster, there are only two real answers: King Kong or Godzilla. The Beatles-or-The Rolling Stones debate of the cinematic world has raged on for decades since the enormous ape and gigantic lizard first stomped onto the silver screen, with the two eventually clashing directly in 1962's King Kong vs. Godzilla. (Spoiler: Kong won.) Godzilla has gone on to beat up other monsters, and both Kong and Godzilla have returned to screens alone in various incarnations – including recent reboots of both film franchises in the last few years – in the time since, but the question remains open as to which colossal creature is top of the food chain.
Hollywood won't take another stab at solving the conundrum until Godzilla vs. Kong hits cinemas in 2020. Luckily, game design genius and Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield came up with a way to solve the ultimate showdown on the tabletop all the way back in 2011, in the form of King of Tokyo.

Changing your air conditioning is often a necessity. For instance, many people look for replacements because their old one has breathed its final gasp of comfortable air. Others look for replacements to improve on consumption efficiency. For people looking for an AC maintenance and repair service in Walnut Creek CA, there are three key things many wish they knew beforehand.
- How much money and time is required for an air conditioning replacement?
Replacing the source of comfortable air in your home should not be taken lightly, there are so many things that can go wrong. Among the worst possible things that customers come forward with is that the entire project fell apart. A lot of time and money go down the drain when such things happen.
It should be clear to you how much a replacement will dig into your pocket, and for how long you will have to put up with air conditioning technicians in your house. We have prided ourselves as one of the companies with a guaranteed same-day AC maintenance and repair service in Walnut Creek CA.
You can save yourself a lot of headaches by simply looking at your air conditioning repair and maintenance project through our experienced eyes.
- Should you repair the same system or buy a more advanced air conditioner?
Air conditioning equipment will keep getting more advanced as the years go by. Sadly, that change always looks stagnant because once you have yours installed, a decade can go by before you need to replace it.
While the same model of air conditioner you have had for half your life worked to its end of the promise, it may not be the best option going forward. Chances are you'll get to benefit if you install an air conditioning unit that uses less energy but gives you the same (or better) living environment.
For many clients that have taken our advice; activating a more comfortable home environment and realizing the savings that come with doing their AC maintenance and repair service in Walnut Creek CA with us has become a normal experience even years after their first call.
- Where do I find the best technical assistance when I need it urgently?
When Craigslist came along, many people relished the idea of freelance air conditioning technicians along with other handymen. We have always set ourselves apart from that crowd through consistently reliable service. When you need someone that will treat your air conditioning requirements with the level of urgency that you desire, think of none other than us.
We assign the best hands for each particular problem, keeping in mind the smallest things they prefer! For us, each customer is unique.
We have worked with people from so many different communities, which is why our staff is equally diverse. The only consistency among our teams is the level of dedication we have towards client satisfaction. We have the right person to solve your problem, give us a call on (925) 800-6277 and experience comfort today.

Hello Everyone,
Today I am sharing with you all my recent favourite nail enamel and its from the very trusted brand Maybelline. It's the Maybelline Colorama in Roxo Metalico!
|Maybelline Colorama in Roxo Metalico Review
Product Description:
- High-gloss nail color with 5 day wear!
- Combine a visually stunning palette of pigments, pearls and glitters
- It's the ultimate accessory that transforms your look from day to night, fun to funky and classic to daring…in a flash!
|Maybelline Colorama in Roxo Metalico Review
Price: Rs. 100 for 8ml
My Views:
Maybelline Colorama in Roxo Metalico is the most stunning purple color with loads of blue-ish color micro-shimmer in it and has duo chrome finish. It is a perfect shade for winters and looks absolutely beautiful.
|Maybelline Colorama in Roxo Metalico Review
The formulation is top notch and creamy and is every easy to work with. Despite of inclusion of micro-shimmer in the formula, it does not feel gritty at all. The brush is of standard quality and gives even coating on the nails.
|Maybelline Colorama in Roxo Metalico Review
The finish is crème like and semi-glossy upon drying. The drying time is usual 2-3 minutes between each coat and for this particular color I used 2 coats for opaque finish. However, only thing that disappoints me is the staying power. Maybelline claims 5 days of wear time but I get about 3 days of full wear time and then it starts to slowly chip at the tips. But with a top coat, 5 days wear time is achievable.
|Maybelline Colorama in Roxo Metalico Review
Final Verdict:
If you love bold blues and purple and also if you are glitter-y & shimmery finish gal then this shade is definitely a must try out! The quality is awesome for the price and is very affordable.
Rating: 4.9/5

Before my last few posts, I think I took like a couple of months off from blogging. Since then, the comment section has increased drastically. I am not sure whether to laugh or cry as almost all of the comments were spam. What I don't understand is how my blog can attract so many unwanted comments. To this date, there are 31,911 comments. I have been clearing them whenever I can so that it won't slow the blog down. Sometime later, I will try to google for a solution to stop people from spamming my blog with thousands of comments.
My other blog is just laying idle at the moment and I can't imagine how many comments it has raked up. I know that I have said numerous times that having WordPress on my iPhone and iPad will definitely encourage me to blog more often. However, there's always something crop up that kind of prevents me from continue blogging. For example, my latest technology addition, or addiction, Playstation 3. My late night is usually movie hours but now, I have to choose between the two of them. No, I have to choose between the two of them and sleep.
Yeah, I have decided to try and move my sleep time to a few hours earlier. 10 – 11pm would be ideal. My idea is that I will sleep early, and wake up early. By the end of last year, I am ashamed to say that my sleep time was around 2 – 3am. Yesterday, I managed to go to bed at 1am and the day before was 1.30am. With a little more effort, I don't see why I am not able to achieve early sleep time. One thing that is worrying me is that I may not be able to stay up late if need to. Hence, I devised another plan which is to sleep early during weekdays, but sleep later during weekends. That should work, shouldn't it?!

On a national basis, our country is suffering from an asthma and allergy epidemic. The annual healthcare costs of treating those with serious respiratory conditions are staggering, and there are other personal and financial consequences as well. It is no wonder that the EPA has consistently identified substandard indoor air as one of the five most damaging environmental hazards. As a result, leading-edge HVAC contractors have begun to address IAQ diagnostics and remediation in order to keep their customer's indoor environment healthy and safe.
Why Indoor Air Quality is a Growing Problem
From the early 1990s through the late 2000s, the cost of energy continued to rise. To address the problem, the field of building science advanced rapidly, which led to extraordinary improvements in energy efficiency. In large part, perimeter building envelope leakage was eliminated through a variety of advanced sealing techniques. While creating a barrier against air infiltration has helped to dramatically reduce cooling and heating fuel consumption, the lack of fresh air pathways allows toxins and pollutants to accumulate inside the living area.
Understanding Sick Building Syndrome
On a daily basis, the average family introduces or generates a significant quantity of pollutants that settle inside the home. This includes smoke, dander, dust, dirt, pollen and a variety of other contaminants. These toxic agents are ultimately drawn into the heating and air conditioning system and cycled repeatedly until they are unwittingly inhaled by a family member. Constant exposure to airborne particulate matter can aggravate asthma, allergies and other breathing conditions. If your home does not have the technology required keep the indoor air clean, you may have Sick Building Syndrome.
Even older homes with porous building envelopes can suffer from poor indoor air quality. Prior to the adoption of national Model Energy Code standards, the duct work in a typical home was not properly sealed. When the blower engages in these homes, the system goes into a negative pressure, and dirt and fiberglass from the attic or crawl space are pulled directly into the air-stream.
Why Healthy Indoor Air is Important
Substandard IAQ can have harsh consequences if left unaddressed. There are a many serious medical conditions associated with contaminated indoor air:
- Watering eyes
- Sore throat
- Chronic coughing
- Difficulty breathing
- Allergies
- Wheezing
- Respiratory congestion
- Rashes
- Headaches
- Nose bleeds
- Fatigue & Malaise
- Asthma
- Lung disease
Strategies for Improving Indoor Air Quality
Residential homes that have serious indoor air quality issues can be difficult to diagnose and remedy. It takes a professional HVAC technician who has the appropriate training and equipment to locate the source of the problem and correct it. In most cases, an effective IAQ strategy includes the following elements:
Central Filtration
The air filter inside your HVAC system is a critical IAQ component. Filters trap unwanted contaminants as they travel through the duct work. Filters are available in a number of different configurations, including pleated, fiberglass, electrostatic, electronic and cabinet models.
To determine the effectiveness of a particular filter, ASHRAE developed the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) standard. The MERV rating allows consumers to quickly compare the efficiency of different filter models and styles. A higher MERV rating always identifies a more efficient filter.
In general, a filter with a minimum MERV 7 value is recommended, but it is important to check with a licensed HVAC professional to determine if your equipment has sufficient static pressure to handle a high-efficiency filter.
Proper Humidification
Maintaining a steady humidity level is essential for a healthy indoor environment. If the air is too dry, microscopic irritants remain airborne for longer periods. Nasal passages can become dried out, and mucous membranes swell. Skin conditions may worsen, and wood furniture, moldings and doors can split and crack.
Static electricity is another indication the air inside your home is too dry. A central humidifier works together with your heating and cooling system to introduce steam or atomized vapor into the air-stream to ensure the air is always properly humidified.
Conversely, a home that has too much humidity can create conditions that allow mold and fungi to thrive and grow. Black mold is a serious health hazard that must be immediately removed if detected. A dehumidifier unit can restore safe levels of moisture for homes in hot, humid climates.
Tight homes eliminate fresh air pathways, so it is important to provide mechanical ventilation to restore proper air exchange. Advanced technology ensures that the right amount of fresh air enters the home as an equal amount of stale indoor air is exhausted.
Newer models have a thermal recovery feature that recaptures a portion of the energy normally lost in the air exchange process.
Duct Cleaning
When the heating and cooling equipment is turned on, the air that travels through the system deposits dust, dirt and other debris inside the duct network. In combination with the moisture found at the air handler, mold and fungi have the nutrients they need to grow and spread.
Professional duct cleaning companies use brushes and air whips to loosen stubborn grime on the inside of the HVAC system, and an industrial-strength vacuum removes the debris and deposits it into a sealed container.
Ultraviolet (UV) Lamps
The evaporator coil inside an air conditioner is the perfect place for mold and other undesirable biological organisms to flourish. UV germicidal lamps are tuned to a specific wavelength that actually kills bacteria, mold, viruses and other contaminates.
A UV lamp can also help keep the inside of your HVAC system clean, which will improve efficiency and extend the life of the equipment.

ERLANGER, Kentucky (April 24, 2014) — What do the cities of Dallas, Texas and Oakland, Calif. have in common? A lot, according to Toyota's engineers, despite the two cities being separated by nearly 1,700 miles with different demographics and industries.
Either city could be powered for an entire year based on the amount of energy not used by Toyota's 14 North American manufacturing plants during the past decade. For engineers, that's equal to nearly 11 billion kilowatt hours of energy. And for non-engineers, that's enough to power nearly 400,000 average U.S. households for an entire year.
Toyota's 41,000 team members' continuous efforts to reduce energy use have resulted in Toyota's 10th consecutive ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award from the U.S. EPA for continued leadership in protecting the environment through superior energy efficiency.
Ten consecutive ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Awards are the most by any automaker and Toyota's accomplishments will be recognized in Washington, D.C., on April 29.
During the 10-year period, total energy use has been reduced by 22 percent per vehicle produced and total CO2 emissions has been reduced by 19 percent per vehicle produced. Total cost savings during the decade is nearly $500 million dollars.
"Through continuous improvement, good collaboration and sharing best practices, we continue to stay highly motivated to identify ways to minimize our impact to the environment," says Robin Haugen, general manager of Toyota's plant and environmental engineering group. "Our team members demonstrate that when good ideas are shared, great things can happen, and we are grateful to receive our tenth consecutive ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency."
In addition to the award, Toyota has been recognized for its commitment to energy reduction activities by several agencies and organizations including:
Examples of energy reduction activities across Toyota's 14 manufacturing plants include:
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America
Erlanger, Kentucky; Ann Arbor and Saline, Michigan
Bodine Aluminum
Jackson, Tennessee
Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Alabama
Toyota Motor Manufacturing de Baja California
Tijuana, Mexico
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada
Cambridge and Woodstock, Ontario
Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Indiana
Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky
Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Mississippi
Blue Springs
Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas
San Antonio
Toyota Motor Manufacturing, West Virginia
*The U.S. EPA's ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry is a tool designed to help energy managers and industrial sites improve energy performance and set goals. Industrial sites participate by committing to the pre-established goal of reducing energy intensity by ten percent within five years or less.

I used https://www.productchart.co.uk/smartphones/ when I was looking for a new phone last year. I'm not sure how up to date it is but it should help you to narrow the field down a bit.
My current phone is a Lexus 4 which I bought new about 4 years ago and replaced the battery 2 weeks back
at the same time I reset the phone and it did all the updates and stuff but now randomly turns itself off,
it might happen once every few days or each day but it does it often enough to be frustrating and I now
remember this used to happen a few years ago too when it updated to 5.1.1. Back then i put 4.4.4 on it and it
behaved itself but i forgot all about.
I could go back to Kitkat but I think it's time for a new phone anyway.
At first I was considering the Moto G5S but then started looking at the G6 Play and now the G6.
The G6 is 3G ram 32GB storage but for an extra £20 Amazon are doing a deal and you get
4G ram and 64G storage and at £239, that's quite attractive.
Are there any other Android phones I should be considering around that price ?
I used https://www.productchart.co.uk/smartphones/ when I was looking for a new phone last year. I'm not sure how up to date it is but it should help you to narrow the field down a bit.
Take a look at the Nokia 8. It's a premium phone with a spec that compares with stuff twice the price, it's pretty much the same inside as a Google Pixel. None of the Android bloatware you'll get on a lot of stuff so compares well to the Nexus and can be had for a shade under £300.
Ahh I thought the 8 had ceased and the Sirocco was its replacement, didn't realise it was still in production.
Which in itself is a bit daft, whilst the Sirocco is a flagship model more akin to Pixel, S9, 1+6 etc, it's not (imho) worth the step up from the plain 8.
All this tiny incremental 'improvement's BS is probably why I wait at least 3 or more years before getting something new
Just bought a 2017 a5. Waterproof was important for me, as my last one drowned. Works well for me.
Them motos ain't bad, daughter had the 4 and currently has whatever the large version if the 5 is (I really should know as it's in my name )
If'n the 6 is owt like the past 2 the only advice I can give is to only turn it off when necessary because the stupid boot animation takes an age to load.
I am liking it so far, a cool feature (if you like that kind of thing) is slow motion video capture,
I have been trying to find out what FPS the clips are but not been able to so far.
A couple of unedited slow motion clips
I had a G4 as my first android phone. I wasn't a fan of it compared to the wife's relatively old S5 mini, as the stripped down version of android (no app notification badges!) seemed way too far pared down for my liking. I guess you could add all the missing stuff on (it didn't have a my files app FFS) with third party apps, but I just wasn't impressed. I lost it in a taxi barely 6 months after buying it, and decided I'd leave Moto alone.

Home computers aid disease fight
The scientists use spare capacity in home computers
More than 150,000 home computer users are helping scientists to find
new ways to treat diseases like Alzheimer's.
They are signed up to Folding@Home, a global network of computer
Scientists use spare capacity in these computers to test algorithms
designed to show how potential drugs will bind to proteins in the
Many diseases are caused by protein malfunctions. Scientists say the
project is starting to reveal what type of drugs could fight these
Folding@Home was set up four years ago by scientists at Stanford
University in the US.
Users download a programme, which enables scientists to use spare
capacity in their computer to test their algorithm.
New drugs
Speaking at the American Chemical Society's national meeting in
Philadelphia, Dr Vijay Pande of Stanford University said the project
could help to find new drugs for a wide range of diseases.
The programme is designed to show how certain molecules, the key
ingredients of any drug, will affect specific proteins.
In the past, computer-based algorithms have not proved accurate
enough. But Dr Pande says his programme gets around that problem.
"For almost 20 years, people have been talking about doing drug
design computationally but the real challenge has been getting
sufficient accuracy," he said.
"Our main goal was to come up with methods to really push that
accuracy to the point at which our methods are pharmaceutically
Dr Pande says computers can be used to simulate work that would take
many years to complete in the laboratory.
"We can do the hard work. We can study the things that would be hard
to investigate just synthetically and then make suggestions for which
ones should be followed up.
"I think it may open the door to a new range of therapeutics that we
just can't access very readily right now."
Dr Pande said the results are promising. "I think we're at the point
where pharmaceutical companies start to get interested."
Cancer drugs
Researchers at Oxford University set up a similar project to try to
find new treatments for cancer.
The Screensaver Lifesaver project now harnesses the power of 2.8m
computers around the world.
Professor Graham Richards, who set up the project, said such schemes
are playing a major role in drug research.
"We now have 2.8m PCs signed up so we actually have more computer
power for this type of work than all of the pharmaceutical industry
put together," he told BBC News Online.
"We can do things that the major pharmaceutical companies cannot do."
The Screensaver Lifesaver project recently completed research into
potential treatments for anthrax and smallpox. The results have been
passed to the US government.
It also identified 14 potential targets for fighting cancer. The
computers are now being used to try to hone in on these targets and
identify those most suited to being turned into drug treatments.
"We are trying to narrow those results down. It costs money to make
and test these drugs," said Professor Richards.

Earlier this week I caught two films within 24 hours of each other that had some intersting points of comparison. The first was Gus Van Zant's Milk, about the first openly gay person to win elective office in the US and starring Sean Penn in the title role. The other was the documentary Anita O'Day: The Life of a Jazz Singer, directed by Robbie Cavolina and Ian McCrudden. The first is an intense and virtually flawless in terms of performance, narrative power, and core message and deserves to stand with other earnest civil rights dramas produced over the years that compelled audiences (especially American audiences) to recognize that the basic values of freedom and democracy are meaningless without a true commitment to equality as well. In other words, it is a noble and even "important" film that deserves all the accolades it has received, and likely will continue to receive throught he awards season. But I liked the Anita O'Day picture much more, not least because it makes many of the same points (from a much less obvious starting point) as Milk, and does so in a more invigorating way (at least to me).
As a documentary, Anita O'Day: The Life of a Jazz Singer, might lead most viewers to expect something akin to the usual PBS American Masters special-- lots of archival footage intercut with talking heads, laying out a pretty straightforward account of the subject's life. But that is not the way the movie is set up, although it certainly contains those elements. The filmmakers decided to convey something critical about O'Day's story through the design and editing of their shots in a manner that I don't recall seing before. There is a visual rhythm that approximates O'Day's unique style of phrasing when she sings (which is commented on by a number of the aforementioned talking heads). The interviews with O'Day herself, which span the entirety of her long career reveal an artist totally at ease with herself and self-deprecating about her talent, and again, the visual style of the film seems to reinforce that easygoing attitude. It creates the appearance of swinging breeziness; but, if you stop to think about it, you realize how much thought and craft have gone into achieving the effect. That quality only fades in a couple of instances, when the film portrays a full song performance (as opposed to the much more numerous clips) by Miss O'Day, with the climax coming with her rendition of "Sweet Georgia Brown" as it appeared in the 1960 concert documentary Jazz on a Summer's Day. At that point, there's no mistaking the artistry of this performer.
I mentioned that the film also shares some thematic qualities with Milk, which it does in segments on O'Day's relationships with black musicians and in tracking the expectaions on a "girl" singer in a predominately male milieu. But it does so in a much more subtle way than Milk, and while I really don't mean this as any kind of criticism of the Van Zant picture, I think it allows for Anita O'Day to present a much more well-rounded portrait of its subject. But I'm splitting hairs here-- try to see both and I doubt either will disappoint.

No plan B from UK PM despite rating cut
March 7 - British Prime Minister David Cameron promises to stick to his deficit reduction plan despite a lack of economic growth and loss of his country's top-notch credit rating, saying Britain would plunge ''into the abyss'' if he changed course. (ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION)
(ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION) (SOUNDBITE) (English) BRITISH PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON, SAYING: "We will not be able to build a sustainable recovery with long-term growth unless we fix this fundamental problem of excessive government spending and borrowing that undermines our whole economy." "Dealing with the deficit gives us the credibility in world markets to maintain low interest rates. And it is, I think, hard to overstate the fundamental importance of low interest rates for an economy as indebted as ours. And also hard to underestimate the unthinkable damage that a sharp rise in interest rates would cause." British Prime Minister David Cameron promises to stick to his deficit reduction plan despite a lack of economic growth and loss of his country's top-notch credit rating, saying Britain would plunge "into the abyss" if he changed course. Defending his strategy from critics who argue too much austerity is killing off growth, Cameron said the Bank of England had to play its part in getting the economy growing and said the government had to curb spending and borrowing. Cameron spoke to an audience in Yorkshire, England. His comments came after a top minister in his junior coalition partner - the Liberal Democrats - publicly questioned his focus on cutting debt, suggesting it may be time to borrow more to invest in infrastructure. Speaking ahead of a March 20 budget that will be dissected by the markets and ratings agencies alike, Cameron said there were signs his economic policies were beginning to work, saying it was imperative to "hold firm to the path". Borrowing to spend more would jeopardise the nation's finances, he added, saying it was vital to maintain fiscal credibility to keep interest rates low to ensure householders and small businesses could borrow. The state of Britain's anaemic economy is linked to Cameron's own political fortunes. His advisers are banking on an economic recovery being under way by the time of the next general election in 2015, allowing Cameron to whittle away the opposition Labour Party's lead in the opinion polls and win. But for now the economy appears stuck in a rut and could already be in its third recession since 2008, while public debt is set to carry on rising for another three years despite some public spending cuts.

The Foreign Exchange Market (Forex)
Forex in General
The Forex or FX is the Global Foreign Exchange Market where the world's currencies are traded against its other. The Forex Currencies are traded in pairs and are divided into Majors, Minors and Exotic Forex pairs. The Forex market is the largest and the most liquid financial market in the whole world. The daily turnover activity in the Forex market is estimated more than 4 trillion USD. The Bank for International Settlements reported in 2012 that the Forex market exceeded 4.9 trillion USD per day.
Forex Market Participants
The Forex market includes many different types of participants like:
1) Banks (Central, Retail or Investment banks)
2) Retail and Institutional investors
3) Day-Trade speculators
4) International and National Firms
5) Forex Brokers (ECN, STP and Dealing-Desk Forex Brokers)
Binary Option Brokers Trading Forex: » Compare Forex Traders | Brokers at OnlineForex.biz: » Compare Forex Brokers
The Forex market operates like the World Wide Web (internet) does, as it is not centralized and gives access to anyone who has a PC terminal and can meet some basic requirements. Forex trading is conducted electronically OTC (over-the-counter), meaning that all trades are executed via computer networks between currency buyers and sellers. The Forex market is open five days a week, 24 hours a day. The world's major Forex marketplaces include New York, London, Zurich, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Paris, Hong Kong, Sydney and Singapore. This means that when Forex trading ends to one place starts to another.
Forex Trading Hours (EST)
Australia Session: 5 p.m. – 1 a.m.
Tokyo Session: 7 p.m. – 3 a.m.
Hong Kong / Singapore Session: 9 p.m. – 5 a.m.
Frankfurt Session: 2 a.m. – 10 a.m.
London Session: 3 a.m. – 11 a.m.
As it can be seen the Forex market includes sessions when two different markets are opened at the same time, what is called as Forex sessions.
Forex Sessions Overlap
a) London and New York sessions overlap from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m. (EST tome)
b) Tokyo and Sydney sessions overlap from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m.
c) Tokyo and London and Tokyo sessions from 3 a.m. to 4 a.m.
The Majors, Minors and Exotic Currencies
In a currency pair (ie EUR/USD), the first currency is the base or the primary currency (EUR) and the second currency is the quote currency (USD). Forex currencies are divided into majors, minors and exotic currencies. Majors are very popular and are offered in narrow spreads.
1) Major Currencies
USD (US Dollar)
EUR (European Euro)
GBP (UK Pound Sterling)
JPY (Japanese Yen)
CHF (Swiss Franc)
The US Dollar involves about 85% of the total daily Forex market turnover. The Euro involves about 37% of the total daily Forex market turnover while the Japanese Yen involves about 17% and the Pound Sterling about 15% of the total Forex daily turnover. The Swiss Franc involves 7% of the total Forex trading turnover.
Forex Signals Review: ►Elite Signals | ►The BinarySignals
2) Minor Currencies
The minor currencies are mainly the currencies of countries rich in natural resources (gold, oil etc).
AUD (Australian Dollar) CAD (Canadian Dollar) NZD (New Zealand Dollar) SEK (Swedish Krona) NOK (Norwegian Krone) DKK (Danish Krone)
AUD (Australian Dollar)
CAD (Canadian Dollar)
NZD (New Zealand Dollar)

The Australian Dollar which is called also the Aussie involves about 6.5% of the total Forex market daily turnover. The Canadian Dollar involves 4.2% while the New Zealand Dollar which is called Kiwi involves 2% of the total Forex market daily turnover.
3) The Exotic Currencies
HKD (Hong Kong Dollar) SGD (Singapore Dollar) RUB (Russian Federation Ruble) MXN (Mexican Peso) ZAR (South African Rand) KRW (South Korean Won) INR (Indian Rupee)

The Spot, Forwards and Futures Markets
These are the three ways an institutional or a retail investor can participate the Forex market and exchange currencies. Forex trading usually involves the spot market. The Futures & Forward Contracts are used mainly for hedging against unfavorable market risk. Forex example an importer of Mercedes based in Japan needs to hedge against future Euro unfavorable appreciation so he buys a Forward contract based on Euro against the Japanese Yen. The Futures contracts are bought and sold on organized financial exchanges. From the other hand, the forwards contracts are bought and sold in OTC marketplaces. Usually banks are offering Forward contracts to large international firms.

Momofuku Milk Bar Compost Cookie Recipe
When I was a baker at a conference center on Star Island, twelve miles off the coast of New Hampshire, I learned how to make this kind of cookie from one of the best bakers I know, Mandy Lamb. She would put different ingredients in the cookie each day or each week and have people try and guess what the random secret ingredients were.
Because we were on an island in New England, when storms blew in, we were trapped. No one traveled on the island, and, more important, no boats with food on them came our way, either. We had to get creative and use what we had on hand. We might not have had enough chocolate chips to make chocolate chip cookies, but if we threw in other mix-ins as well, the seven hundred some guests would never notice the shortage of one ingredient – and the cookies would always feel brand new, because they were different every time. I found that after many batches that my favorite compost cookies had my favorite snacks in them: chocolate and butterscotch chips, potato chips, pretzels, graham crackers, and coffee (grounds).
Compost cookies always turn out great in my mother's kitchen because she infamously has a hodgepodge of mix-ins, none in great enough quantity to make an actual single-flavored cookie on its own. My brother-in-law calls them "garbage cookies"; others call them "kitchen sink cookies." Call them what you want, and make them as we make them at Milk Bar, or add your own favorite snacks to the cookie base in place of ours.
Prep Details
Servings: 15-20
Compost Cookie
2 sticks butter (16 tablespoons), at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini butterscotch chips
1/2 cup recipe graham crust (see below)
1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 1/2 teaspoons ground coffee
2 cups potato chips
1 cup mini pretzels
Graham Crust
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup milk powder
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons), melted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
For the Compost Cookie:
1. Combine the butter, sugars, and glucose in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and cream together on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the egg and vanilla, and beat for 7 to 8 minutes.
2. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until the dough comes together, no longer than 1 minute. (Do not walk away from the machine during this step, or you will risk overmixing the dough.) Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
3. Still on low speed, add the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, graham crust, oats, and coffee and mix just until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Add the potato chips and pretzels and paddle, still on low speed, until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix or break too many of the pretzels or potato chips. You deserve a pat on the back if one of your cookies bakes off with a whole pretzel standing up in the center.
4. Using a 2 ¾ ounce ice cream scoop (or a 1/3 cup measure), portion out the dough onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. Pat the tops of the cookie dough domes flat. Wrap the sheet pan tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 1 week. Do not bake your cookies from room temperature— they will not bake properly.
5. Heat the oven to 375°F.
6. Arrange the chilled dough a minimum of 4 inches apart on parchment- or Silpat-lined sheet pans. Bake for 18 minutes. The cookies will puff, crackle, and spread. After 18 minutes, they should be very faintly browned on the edges yet still bright yellow in the center. Give them an extra minute or so if that's not the case.
7. Cool the cookies completely on the sheet pans before transferring to a plate or an airtight container for storage. At room temp, cookies will keep fresh for 5 days; in the freezer, they will keep for 1 month.
For the Graham Crust:
1. Toss the graham crumbs, milk powder, sugar, and salt with your hands in a medium bowl to evenly distribute your dry ingredients.
2. Whisk the butter and heavy cream together. Add to the dry ingredients and toss again to evenly distribute. The butter will act as glue, adhering to the dry ingredients and turning the mixture into a bunch of small clusters. The mixture should hold its shape if squeezed tightly in the palm of your hand. If it is not moist enough to do so, melt an additional 14 to 25 g (1 to 1½ tablespoons) butter and mix it in.
3. Eat immediately, or deploy as directed in a recipe. The crust is easiest to mold just after mixing. Stored in an airtight container, graham crust will keep fresh for 1 week at room temperature or for 1 month in the fridge or freezer.

Youngsters learnt traditional Ghanaian dance routines to perform during their production of The Golden Stool.
Children from Goldington Green Academy spent five weeks working with professionals to put on Monday's show.
The play, based on the Ashanti King, was specially written by Martin Hanson and Emmanuel Abakah.
Equality and diversity manager Tracy Wilson said: "The event was brilliant. We had over 230 people attend. "The atmosphere was electric and the children did a brilliant job reenacting the story of The Golden Stool."
The Bedford school is twinned with a school in Ghana and funds raised through the event will go to projects there. Among the audience were the co-founders and directors of the Ashanti Development, which works to relieve poverty and promote health and development in Ghana, Penny David and Martha Boadu.
Traditional African Caribbean food was prepared and served up by school parents Miss Brown, Miss Sangster, Miss S Brown, Miss Harris and Mrs Sheekey.

On Monday afternoon, Glenda Mosner was told Munster, her 2-year-old English bulldog, was probably going to die.
She told the vet that was unacceptable: "You don't know my Munster!"
The doctor may not have, but more than 365,000 people from around the world do. And within 20 minutes of Mosner updating them, they'd kicked in more than $5,000 to help.
Munster, also known as "Mr. Fancy Pants," was born with spina bifida and can't control his bladder. While most dogs born with the condition are put down almost immediately, this pup's Montana breeder didn't have the heart to end his life, and started looking for someone to care for him.
Enter Mosner, who'd saved, cared for, and re-homed another bulldog -- Gracie Lee -- with the same condition a year before. Gracie Lee was living in a box outside her owner's home when Mosner met her, convinced the owner to let her go, secured a donated doggie wheelchair, and found a forever home, where the dog is still happily living. In the process, Mosner started a Facebook page for Gracie Lee, which is how Munster's breeder made a connection and reached out for help with Munster.
"She called and asked if I could help find him a home," says Mosner. "I told her sure. Of course, that didn't last long--I told her if she lived closer, I'd take Munster in a heartbeat."
The breeder agreed to fly Munster to Maryland if Mosner could pay for it. The story went up on Facebook and before long, the expenses were paid. Shortly after that, Munster got his own Facebook page.
Since then, life has been pretty sweet for the dog, who wears Good Nights teen diapers and is spoiled rotten by Mosner, who lives in Owings Mills. That is, until Monday, when Munster became violently ill with what veterinarians thought was an intestinal blockage.
Transferred to the Pet+ER in Towson, Munster underwent major surgery Monday and things were pretty touch-and-go, but by the next day, he was up and walking and happy to have a visit from Mosner, who says she hasn't slept all week. The obstruction turned out to be an abscess, and Munster is scheduled to undergo more surgery later this week. So far, his care has cost $2,000 per day, which is where his legions of Facebook fans come in.
"People have donated $32,000 for his care over his lifetime," says Mosner, adding that gifts come from all over the world, and that she's only had to buy two packages of his diapers in three years -- the rest come from donations.
"Our vehicle was stolen and a lady gave us a used car," Mosner says. "People are amazing. They love Munster and all they ask is that I share his photos with them."
Jocelyn Brooks, director of marketing and outreach for The Pet+ER, says her office has been inundated with calls and emails from people asking about Munster, and that The Pet+ER's Facebook page has added 500 new followers and received hundreds of messages since he arrived there Monday.
"I have never seen so much outreach for a patient," she says.
Mosner chokes up talking about how much love the world has for Munster, whose diapers earned him his Fancy Pants nickname and who she credits with saving 13 other dogs with the same condition whose breeders reached out to her for help. And while she's scared to death about the next round of surgery, she's also hopeful.
"I know his fans will help," she says as the bills grow. "I hate to put him through it. It's very unlike me to go out and ask for help, but I don't want to lose him at 2 years old. These people have been part of his life from day one. I don't care what he has -- he's perfect to me."

It's a new challenge day at Simply Steampunk Challenges and this month we want to see layers on your project. The DT is using the new Roberts Halloween images and I have the pleasure of showcasing the gorgeous Witchy Mrs. Roberts.
I bought a whole new line of Copic greys (N's) for her clothes since most of my C's need refilling. Wow, I forgot how much easier it is to blend with new ones. (Even with the crap card stock I use. LOL) I've added some of the small Steampunk gears to the bat (Cuttlebug) and spider (Jolee's).
The card is a tent card but doesn't really show in the picture. My base is 12"x5", instead of 8 1/2"x4 1/4" like in the tutorial and I've cut my windows in the base and 1st layer with Nesties Labels (? Hmm... they're around here somewhere), then layered the largest Timeless Rectangle (that I cut the center out with my kraft knife) and finally my new Memory Box Spiderweb behind. The sentiment stickers are from Authentique, the Steampunk Spells book from the Graphic 45 8x8 stack. I've stretched a Tim Holtz Mini Rosette to fit behind the oval and added another gear. OOOh, I just LOVE those things!
Here's a better view of the depth. The inside scene is from a DCWV stack and I've added a spooky fence (MS punch) between. My DT sisters have done some amazing work so be sure to check them out HERE and leave them some love. We're thrilled with the fabulous work our participants shared in our last challenge and can't wait to see how you Layer.
I'm also entering this in the Desert Island Crafters Challenge #61 using #'s 2,3,5,7,8 and 10 (spider is glittery) and Left of Center Challenge 13 (both girly and LOC).

The first thing Fremont's new police chief, Kimberly Petersen, said in a phone interview earlier this month was that she's happy to talk about her personal life, but would prefer to "get away from the whole openly gay thing."
Since assuming the role in July after 22 years on the force, Fremont's first openly-gay and female police chief has been a bit overwhelmed by the focus on her gender and sexual orientation, rather than the work she does.
A Santa Cruz local who was raised in Aptos, Petersen, 48, comes off as friendly, committed and no-nonsense. She didn't grow up dreaming of being a police officer. In high school and college, she was a serious athlete and professional soccer player who played with FIFA stars such as Brandi Chastain and Julie Foudy.
"Soccer helped me get into some great schools and open doors," Petersen said.
Petersen earned a degree in human biology at Stanford University — but in the midst of it, ran out of money. To pay her tuition, she played professionally in Japan for two years.
It wasn't until a year out of college, when a friend of hers on the police force in Santa Clara invited her for a ride along, that she instantly knew she wanted to join the police.
"You get to be outdoors and not in an office, every day is different. It's exciting, it's a team environment. I never looked back," she said.
She was hired in Fremont in 1996, and has worked her way through the ranks. She was the first woman in the department's SWAT team, where she pioneered and led the Tactical Emergency Medical Support Team, and has also served as sergeant, lieutenant and captain, where she managed jail and animal services, before being promoted to chief.
Petersen, who lives in Felton with her wife — a former officer with the Los Angeles Police Department — and their three children, says she never came out to her coworkers, because most people just caught on. "They do detailed background checks, so I think some people knew," she said, adding "I don't feel it was a barrier to attaining the things I wanted." Despite the overall support throughout her career, Petersen does admit that when she started out "it was a different time, so not as widely accepted. I kept it to myself in training … I did grow a thicker skin."
As police chief in Fremont, a population of 230,000, Petersen oversees 311 full-time employees, 199 of whom are sworn police officers, only 10 percent of whom are women. She would like to see more women join the force, as well as members of the Afghan community, which she says is the largest outside Afghanistan.
Asked about the challenges she faces having been in the field for over 20 years, Petersen points to the need for police to build better relationships with the population it serves. "We have all been dealing with Ferguson and Freddie Gray, challenging us to be better. It has left a deepening divide between police and segments of some communities. We are working on gaining trust and support from communities," she said.
Petersen also talked about the challenge of homelessness, a growing problem familiar in Santa Cruz and across California, which has spiked significantly in Fremont. Petersen says 50 percent of calls deal with homelessness.

I received an Avaya VoIP phone for testing. The problem with it was that had no power adapter – it was exclusively PoE. I have no PoE switch, so I ran a search for whatever adapter I could find in the vicinity of the place where I live. The units could only be ordered, and hot-tempered as I am I decided to see if it would not be too hard to build one.
A few Internet sources (among them a Wikipedia article on PoE) suggested that connecting a 48V DC across two normally unused Ethernet pairs should do the trick. But where can one get 48 Volts? It's not an easy thing to get around, as many parts don't fly that high. For example the popular LM317 voltage regulator is limited to 37 Volts max. Luckily enough, I found a ready made power plug adapter that supplied 48V on a standard DC plug, in an electronics store nearby.
I also had a spare dual Ethernet wall-mount faceplate. I found a nice plastic case that should be able to hold all the stuff inside. Now what was left was to put it all together.
I figured out a fuse never hurts, since I had no idea how the phone will comply with my assumptions of how PoE was integrated into it. The black thing with red cables is the fuse case. I bore holes in the white plastic case for the DC jack, fuse holder and the Ethernet jacks and screwed on the faceplate onto it.
I wired the jacks according to 802.3af Standard B, the contents of which I found on the Wikipedia page on PoE (nice table). I connected the data pairs (pins 1-2,3-6) straight-through, but left the "spare" (4-5,7-8) pairs unconnected on the "switch" jack. On the "phone" one I put the "+" from the DC jack (through the fuse) on 4-5 and "-" on 7-8.
I made my last wish, closed the case and connected the phone and the power supply.
It works!

Save our military women from our military men
Do you know who Margaret Corbin was? She fought in the Revolutionary War beside her husband, firing a cannon in defense of Fort Washington overlooking the Hudson River in Manhattan. After her husband's death in battle, Margaret continued to fight until she was wounded. The rest, as they say, is herstory. Woman have served in the military ever since.
When a woman joins the military in a time of war like Margaret did, she expects her life to be on the line for her country and for her fellow military personnel. She's aware she may never again see her husband, child, parent or sibling. She's courageous and selfless much like her male counterpart. She'll risk her life notwithstanding that those in whose country she fights may wish she and our military presence would pack up and leave. It's a perilous and thankless job.
What she doesn't expect and certainly doesn't deserve is to be victimized by her fellow comrades-in-arms while the brass and the government, for the most part, look the other way. As posted in the Huffington Post on December 27, 2012, one-quarter of all military women serving in Iraq or Afghanistan reported being sexually assaulted. That's an outrageous statistic, but only part of the shameful story.
- A servicewoman was nearly 180 times more likely to be a victim of military sexual assault than to die while deployed during the last 11 years of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.
- An estimated 19,000 assaults occurred between October 1, 2010 – September 31, 2011; roughly 52 assaults per day.
- The conviction rate for sexual assaults in the military is slightly under 6%.
- In slightly less than half of the reported cases, the offender was of a higher rank than the victim.
See, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/06/military-sexual-assault-defense-department_n_1834196.html and http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/27/military-sexual-assaults_n_2370099.html
The possibility of sexual assault was reason enough for our military men and members of Congress to prohibit gay men from serving for generations; notwithstanding, that gay men had been serving with distinction and without assaulting their fellow military men in any numbers even remotely close to the statistics cited above. Hetersexual military men were terrified of the sexual assault they now inflict in record numbers on military women. Ironic isn't it?

I had an awesome Albertsons trip on Tuesday and I just had to share! I got 50 cans of Hunts tomatoes and 38 cans of Healthy choice soup. (There are 10 cans of each missing from the picture).
Now before you get angry with me for hoarding, I special ordered the tomatoes so I wouldn't clear the shelves. This was my first experience with special ordering and I am completely sold! I have been hesitant to do it in the past. I like to fly under the radar and go unnoticed when I coupon at Albertsons and I thought this would put me in the spotlight. Just the opposite and it was so easy. It took me 2 minutes to call and ask for 2 cases of tomatoes. They were easy to pick up, and it was much easier to get through the check out lane by pulling out one and keeping the rest in the case. Plus, I get the nice cardboard box to store them.
I found the soup in the clearance section for $.70 each. There was tons! It was tomato, not my favorite. I'm going to try to learn to love it and donate what I can't bring myself to eat. Here's how my trip worked out:
Transaction #1:
Bought 36 Healthy Choice Tomato Soups on clearance $.70
Used (18) $1/2 Healthy Choice coupons (ordered off ebay)
Used (3) Albertsons doubles (-$3)
Paid $4.20, received $10 Catalina
Transactions #2 & 3:
Bought 25 Hunts Tomatoes on sale $1
Used (12) $1/3 Hunts Tomatoes coupons (ordered off ebay)
Used (3) Albertsons doubles (-$3)
Used $10 Catalina from previous transaction
Paid $4, received $10 Catalina
Total OOP: $6.10 for 50 cans of tomatoes and 38 cans of soup after coupons, coupons purchase on ebay($3.90) and catalina. That's $.12/can!

What is the Suzuki
More than fifty years ago, Japanese violinist Shinichi
Suzuki realized the implications of the fact that
children the world over learn to speak their native
language with ease. He began to apply to the basic
principles of language acquisition to the learning of
music, and called his method the mother-tongue
approach. The ideas of parent involvement, loving
encouragement, a musical environment, and developing
the whole child are some of the special features of
the Suzuki approach.
Who can do Suzuki?
The Suzuki Program is open to students age 3 and up in
cello, flute, viola, and violin, although it is never
too late to start (even some adults get hooked and
decide to take lessons).
How do we learn more?
Come visit! Interested families are invited to observe
an individual and a group lesson. Contact the UVMC at
email@example.com or 603.448.1642 to schedule
observation times. You can also visit the Suzuki
Association of the Americas to learn more.

text: The Charlotte Bobcats announced today that they'll be without Gerald Henderson for a few weeks, their leading scorer last season, who sprained his right foot on Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. Per the Charlotte Observer: "The team initially didn't think the injury was going to be a problem, but further medical tests revealed Henderson sprained the mid-foot area and will miss more time than expected. Through two games Henderson is averaging 12.5 points, 3 steals, 2.5 assists and 2 rebounds in 28 minutes. He had 18 points in Charlotte's season-opening win against Indiana last Friday night. Either Ramon Sessions or Ben Gordon will take Henderson's spot in the starting lineup when the Bobcats (1-1) host the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night."

More helpful Shakespeare stuff: an infographic demonstrating how stabby his plays are.
More helpful Shakespeare stuff: an infographic demonstrating how stabby his plays are.
There's always something a little startling about reading (and/or watching) a retelling of a classic piece of literature. There's also something a little cringe-worthy about it. Sure, there's always going to be gems out there but there's also going to be a lot of duds and you never know what you're going to get until you're beyond the sell-by date and have invested serious time into it.
For me, this retelling of Jane Austen's famous Pride and Prejudice was neither gem nor dud. It was something in between the two – there really needs to be a word for this; something that's more layered and complex than simply saying 'average', which, in this case, would really be a misnomer. Before I get to that, though, I really need to preface my thoughts by saying that I, like most people, watched the Youtube series first and so went into this with certain expectations.
These expectations were not necessarily high – I enjoyed the Youtube series and thought the retelling was fun and unique, but I didn't love it like others did (I had some serious issues with some of the actors – well, acting (surely I wasn't the only one who cringed at how poorly some of pivotal and most memorable scenes from the book were acted out? It was almost as if the actors felt the weight of the audiences' expectations' and just couldn't quite get it to work) and how the vlog style storytelling narrowed the view) – but they were still there.
I wanted to like this but I wasn't invested. Not like I was with the original. That's probably to be expected, though.
Expectations aside, however, I thought this book was actually better than the Youtube series. I know, I know: this wouldn't even exist without the Youtube series. But that's the thing: even though this is a companion to the series, it actually gives you a chance to get invested.
Yes, we're only getting a view through Lizzie's eyes (it's her diary after all) but there's still a lot of stuff going on that never actually made its way into the Youtube series. Sure, Lizzie brushes over certain topics in some of the videos but, really, I never felt like Lizzie and Darcy got enough time to connect to make the whole proposal/love confession/etc. happen. In the show, it just felt rushed and sloppy and misplaced.
Here, though: I totally got it. The same stands true for a lot of other situations as well. For example, when Lizzie goes to shadow Pemberley Digital and spend time with the Darcy's, we never actually see it - understandable considering how the show was styled and time constraints – but it still loses something in the translation.
Being able to read about it in Lizzie's diary? It really showcased how pivotal to their relationship that time was. Also how devious (and sweet) Georgiana could be (not a bad thing!).
Regardless, however, I did really enjoy this. It wasn't perfect – if this was Lizzie's diary, there's no reason why she'd recap, word for word no less, certain conversations or bring up obvious facts about her own life that both she and we already knew about – but neither was the series itself. That they had the actress who actually played Lizzie come in and do the reading for the audiobook was similarly a mixed blessing but I digress.
In the end, I think if you were to take the two pieces together – and why wouldn't you? – this retelling was probably closer to gem than dud but still has a long way to go before it can be called either.

These terms are thrown around a lot in fashion but they really are worth knowing about, to make the most of your shape.
This is especially important if you are not very tall (like me). The way I think of proportion is that an outfit looks better if there is some contrast between the garments, for example:
- A long top and a short skirt
- A voluminous top and a tight skirt (or jeans)
- A cropped top or jacket with a midi skirt
A popular piece of style advice is to "get everything tailored". While I do recommend tailoring for special occasion or investment pieces, it's not realistic for a lot of people or for the bulk of your wardrobe. So it's important to get the fit right before you buy.
If it doesn't fit right and you don't plan to have it altered, then go without. It won't make you look and feel great so it's not worth it (even if it's cheap).
Some brands are starting to understand that there are body variations beyond size and have introduced ranges to cater for this, for example:
- Marks & Spencer Petite – designed for women 5 feet 3 inches and under.
- ASOS Tall – but it's not just for tall people. I like their mini-skirts which have that extra bit of length compared to the main and Curve lines.
Here is my best piece of advice with regard to fit: Don't be afraid to go up a size. The size on the label is irrelevant – what matters is how it looks on you.
If the next size up gives you room to breathe, stops buttons from gaping, and allows you to move your arms unrestricted, then that's the right size for you.
I personally prefer my clothing a little loose rather than skin-tight. I don't believe in suffering for fashion. When you feel comfortable you feel more confident, and confidence is key.

We've sure come a long way from when DJ became the Wally Pipp of broadcasters, when Steve Stone filled in for him and everyone, including myself, thought they were made to broadcast together.
Since that time it is obvious, even when the team was playing well, that this paring was reaching a divorce stage.
It is obvious Hawk's vision is really taking a hit, as now we have too many 'STRETCH' calls that don't even make the warning track, too many missed play calls because of the story telling, and those patented bursts of silence that have plagued the broadcasts too often over the last several years.
As much as I like Hawk and have defended him for several decades and will miss him when he does finally hang it up, I would have no problem if the team revamped the broadcast, if it was done on both the radio and TV. Seven years of Farmer as PBP has made the radio broadcast worse and worse. I actually prefer DJ when he does PBP.
Too bad we can't get Dan Shulman to pair with DJ on the radio, and then get Tommy John with Stone for the TV broadcasts. Then we would have the best paired announcers in the game.
'We drafted him... He achieved greatness here... A 2-time MVP, and one of the BEST hitters in MLB history... And soon he will wear a White Sox uniform again... On his Hall of Fame plaque.
He's #35, Frank Thomas!

The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has quashed an ENT surgeon's selection to AIIMS under orthopaedically handicapped category despite scoring less than the qualifying marks, saying such relaxation was not mentioned while inviting applications.
"Rules of the game cannot be changed, once the game is started," the Tribunal said, while setting aside the selection of Mohammad Mubashshirul Haq, who had been selected despite scoring less than the cut-off marks as he was orthopaedically handicapped (OPH).|
"The respondents (AIIMS) have not notified any relaxed standards of suitability for the OPH candidates vide their notification (inviting applications) or any time thereafter to the knowledge of all competing persons"... the third respondent's (Haq) selection done not on his merit but only on basis of relaxed standard of suitability adopted behind the back of the applicant is liable to be set aside," the bench comprising members Ramesh Chandra Panda and Ajay Kumar said and also directed AIIMS to pay Rs 5,000 cost to the applicant, Dillip Kumar Samal.
The Tribunal while quashing Haq's selection directed the All India Institute of Medical Sciences to select Samal to the post of senior ENT resident if he is otherwise qualified.
The order came on the plea of Samal challenging the selection of Haq on the ground that the same was "illegal, arbitrary and violative of the constitutional guarantees conferred on him".
He had alleged that while had scored more than Haq in the entrance test, he was not selected but was kept in the waiting list, though both belonged to OBC category.
AIIMS in its defence had contended that there was no illegality or infirmity in its decision to call Haq for the interview or in selecting him for the post of senior resident in the ENT department under the OBC/OPH category.
It said that Haq had been called for the interview and finally selected in compliance of the benefits conferred on OPH candidates under the relevant Act and rules.
The Tribunal, however, rejected the contention saying AIIMS "cannot be permitted to act arbitrarily" to deny another persons' right of proper and valid treatment in the matter of employment.

With the Fed cutting mortgage rates to record lows that date back to President Nixon's era, you might be thinking about how much money could be saved if you refinance your home.
In January, the Fed cut mortgage rates at least a point and it's expected to go as low as 4.5 percent for 30-year-fixed mortgages.
Financial experts say refinancing may be a great idea for some, but first homeowners should weigh the pros and cons before dropping the cash. Before deciding to refinance and go through a lengthy and costly process, avoid closing costs first by asking your existing lender to renegotiate your loan terms without going through the formal application process. If your lender isn't willing to negotiate, you should investigate whether the benefits of refinancing outweigh the negatives.
Often, homeowners hesitate to refinance because they are under the misconception that it will cause their property taxes to increase.
Refinancing is not a reappraisable event that would cause an increase in property taxes, as long as the title to the property continues to be held in the same way before and after the refinancing. If the new market value is less than the current assessed value, the homeowner can request the County Assessor's Office to review the value. If the County Assessor lowers the assessed value, which is a temporary reduction, the property taxes would decrease.
