Here's what FactCheck had to say about the GOPer-dupe Bullfeathers concerning President Obama's changes to welfare-work requirements. Apparently some GOPer-dupes do not think we'll keep calling them out if they try and resusitate the Mittens LIE of yore.
A Mitt Romney TV ad claims the Obama administration has adopted "a plan to gut welfare reform by dropping work requirements." The plan does neither of those things.
- Work requirements are not simply being "dropped." States may now change the requirements — revising, adding or eliminating them — as part of a federally approved state-specific plan to increase job placement.
- And it won't "gut" the 1996 law to ease the requirement. Benefits still won't be paid beyond an allotted time, whether the recipient is working or not.
Romney's ad also distorts the facts when it says that under President Obama's plan "you wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train for a job." The law never required all welfare recipients to work. Only 29 percent of those receiving cash assistance met the work requirement by the time President Obama took office.
Under the new policy, states can now seek a federal waiver from work-participation rules that, among other things, require welfare recipients to engage in one of 12 specific "work activities," such as job training. But, in exchange, states must develop a plan that would provide a "more efficient or effective means to promote employment," which may or may not include some or all of the same work activities. States also must submit an "evaluation plan" that includes "performance measures" that must be met — or the waiver could be revoked.
Ron Haskins, a former Republican House committee aide who was instrumental in the 1996 overhaul of the welfare program, told us the Obama administration should not have unilaterally changed the work-requirement rules. But Haskins said the Romney claim that Obama's plan will "gut welfare reform" is "very misleading."

International ClassA23C 019/06Foreign Application Priority Data1988-09-15 EPDescriptionBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThis invention relates to a process for the continuous production of composite cheese. Extrusion has been used for many years in cheesemaking, particularly in the manufacture of cheese sticks from goat's milk curd and for the extrusion of Italian cream cheese of the mozzarella type. In cases such as these, extrusion is used solely to make pieces of a single type of curd. It has already been proposed to make composite products having a cheese core, for example filled cereals or meat, by co-extrusion. The techniques involved are illustrated by patents and patent applications EP-A 169 919, EP-A 177 175 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,480,445. Although the exact nature of the filling is not specified, it is processed cheese capable of withstanding heat treatment because the composite product is subsequently cooked. Processes are also known in which a processed cheese is injected with a colored curd of a different type at the filling head (cf. for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,777,124 and 2,872,324). According to FR-A 2,516,356, two different types of curd are coagulated under dynamic conditions in tubular elements and portions are discharged at the top of the tubes as the strand of coagulum advances. It is not possible with this method to control the properties of the curd in the absence of draining. In addition, in view of the fragility of curds in the process of formation, this technique is not applicable in practice to the efficient and continuous production of portions of co-extruded cheeses. According to patent application FR-A 2 603 457, an already ripened pressed cheese is treated at approximately 80° C. in the presence of ultrafiltered whey proteins to produce a texture which enables it to be hot-extruded. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It has now been found that composite cheeses having the normal organoleptic characteristics of fresh or semi-hard cheeses can be produced by co-extrusion without any need for the curds to be subjected to the heat treatment normally used to make them co-extrudable. Accordingly, the process according to the invention is characterized in that one or more drained curd(s) of cheese and, optionally, a non-cheese food composition forming the core, are co-extruded in the form of a strand at a temperature of from 0° C. to 30° C. To carry out the process, the cheese curd(s) and, optionally, the non-cheese paste forming the central core, are fed, for example, by single or double Archimedes screws, by vacuum pumps or by any other positive pump to an extrusion nozzle or extrusion head consisting of two or more, particularly coaxial, parts. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In a first embodiment of the co-extrusion process, a continuous composite strand is deposited onto a moving conveyor belt of which the linear speed is preferably adjusted to the extrusion rate. The shape of the strand is determined by the cross-section of the outlet openings, for example a central core and a surrounding outer layer. The strand is then cut into portions. In a second embodiment of the co-extrusion process, the extrusion nozzle is a shaping head provided with a diaphragm mechanism which opens to allow the strand through and then closes to cut it. The portions are thus formed during the actual extrusion phase and may assume a rounded, spherical, cylindrical, parallelepipedic or other shape, depending on the cross-section of the extrusion orifice, the extrusion rate and the closing frequency of the diaphragm. The configuration of the central core is determined by the cross-section of the corresponding outlet opening. The portions are then deposited, for example onto a moving conveyor belt, the linear speed of the conveyor belt preferably being higher than the extrusion rate to enable the portions to be separated from one another. In a third embodiment of the co-extrusion process, fresh, moist lactic cheese curds are packed in containers after leaving the extrusion nozzle. In this case, a portion is introduced vertically into a container from a continuous supply of products by means of a portion control mechanism. This mechanism may comprise, upstream of the nozzle, a lateral passage forming a metering chamber into which a piston draws and then discharges the portion to the nozzle by means of a rotary or oscillating plug valve. Alternatively, the tube through which the product is delivered to the nozzle may be closed by means of controlled valves downstream and then upstream of a lateral passage as described above, that section of the feed tube being situated between the two valves forming the metering chamber. In both cases, the material is first drawn into the metering chamber, the extrusion nozzle being shut off, and is then introduced through the open nozzle into a container placed beneath the nozzle by means of the piston. In this embodiment, the step-by-step nature of the extrusion process enables decorative effects to be obtained. According to the invention, the co-extrusion process may be applied to the production of fresh cheeses from predominantly lactic curd without subsequent ripening. In this case, co-extrusion affords the possibility of contrasting for example, two different colours, flavours or textures. For this mechanical treatment, the lactic curds have to be plastic and hence relatively moist. In the context of the invention, a predominantly lactic curd means that coagulation is essentially produced by the lactic bacteria and that the rennet optionally added plays a minor role as a texturing agent so that the cheeses are cream or cottage cheeses. In a preferred embodiment, an attractive appearance of the product is obtained by the fact that the outer part, or outer layer, of the curd is fairly firm while the core is comparatively softer to promote welding of the two curds. In order effectively to fill the core, the pressure of the inner curd is advantageously slightly higher than the pressure of the outer curd during extrusion. The firmness of the outer curd may be obtained, for example, by employing a percentage by weight dry matter of 35 to 45% with a percentage of fats based on dry matter below 50% by weight, by keeping the curd at a low temperature, for example, around 0° C., and preferably by a combination of these measures. The softness of the inner curd is promoted by employing a percentage by weight dry matter of 15 to 50% with a percentage of fats based on dry matter of 0 to 70% by weight, by keeping the curd at a temperature above 8° C. and preferably, by a combination of these measures. The softness of the inner and outer curds may be increased by reducing the percentage by weight dry matter, for example to approximately 17% and, in this case, the products are packed in containers on leaving the nozzle. The curds, particularly that of the core, may advantageously be aerated to lighten their texture. A sweet or savoury aerated curd thus assumes the form of a cheese mousse. It preferably contains from 0.5 to 3% by weight of a stabilizer, for example 1 to 2% by weight of a mono- or di-glyceride typically used in ice creams. The curd is aerated with an inert gas, for example nitrogen. In the particular case where the curds are co-extruded into containers, it is preferred to use aerated curds containing a stabilizer, at least for the inner component, which are extruded at 0° to 16° C. and preferably at around 4° C. Both the outer and the inner curd may be flavoured. For the savoury versions, it is possible to incorporate, for example, salt, spices, herbs, flavourings, colourants, purees or pieces of vegetables. For the sweet versions, it is possible to incorporate sugar, flavourings, colourants, pulps, jams or pieces of fruit These additions are incorporated in the drained curds before extrusion and before or after aerating. Once formed, the portions may be coated, for example, with breadcrumbs, ground pepper, ash, etc. Where the product is packed in containers, the containers used may be opaque or advantageously transparent to show the contrasted layers of the inner and outer products during filling. The cheeses thus produced may be wrapped in cellophane films or aluminium foils or even preferably under nitrogen in a thermoformed, preferably transparent pack of the shell, blister or heat-sealed container type, cooled to a temperature below 8° C. and then cold-stored, for example at 4°-8° C., and distributed. Alternatively, the co-extrusion process may be used for the production of semi-hard cheeses from a predominantly rennet curd. In this case, the extruded portions undergo subsequent ripening in a pack. For this type of use, the curd used differs very little from the curds typically made for semi-hard cheeses, such as St. Paulin, Gouda and Edam, for example. Compared with the traditional manufacture of this type of cheese, there is no moulding or pressing. Acidification takes place for a few hours in a drainage vat. The curd is then ground to obtain fine grains which are then salted and worked. At this stage, ingredients may be incorporated in the curd, including, for example, cold meats, cereals, vegetables and pieces of dried fruit. In one particular embodiment, the core may be formed by an emulsion of meat and the outer layer by a cheese curd. The typical taste of the cheeses may also be accentuated by incorporation of either extracted or synthetic cheese flavourings. The ground curd, optionally provided with ingredients, has physical properties at ambient temperature which enable it to be co-extruded. On leaving the nozzles, the curd may be coated, for example, with a paraffin or a wax. The curd then has to be cooled for a few minutes to a temperature below or equal to 8° C., for example to 4°-8° C. At this stage, the curd does not have the organoleptic characteristics of a semi-hard cheese and has to be ripened for a fortnight at about 10° C. To this end, the portions are vacuum-wrapped in a film of a strong plastics material. The wrapping material is selected to prevent drying of the product and its invasion by a contaminating surface flora and to allow carbon dioxide to escape. It is impermeable to water vapour and oxygen and relatively permeable to carbon dioxide. The advantage of vacuum wrapping lies in the property which the vacuum has of compacting the ground curd, thus facilitating its cohesion during ripening. EXAMPLES AND DRAWINGS The following Examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. In these Examples, percentages and parts are by weight, unless otherwise stated. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIGS. 1-4 show fresh cheeses co-extruded in different shapes. FIGS. 5-7 show diagrammatic sections through fresh cheeses co-extruded into containers. FIGS. 8-13 show semi-hard cheeses co-extruded in different shapes. EXAMPLE 1 Production of Lactic Curd Skimmed milk containing 50% and 70% fats, based on dry matter, obtained by mixing skimmed milk and milk fats, is pasteurized for 15 s at 72° C. and then introduced into a vat at 20° C. The milk is inoculated with 1% mesophilic ferments (FLORA DANICA). After 10 minutes, rennet having a strength of 1/10,000 is added in a quantity of 3 ml per 100 l milk. The pH is 6.65. After 2 h, the milk is stirred for a few minutes. Coagulation is complete after 16 h, the pH having fallen to 4.5. The curd is cut every 3 cm. After 8 h, the serum beneath the curd is removed by opening the tank drainage valve (approx. 15% of the volume used). After gentle stirring, the curd is emptied into 40 or 60 l nylon or polyester sacks which are stacked on grids to a height of approximately 1.5 m to accelerate draining. Draining takes 6 or 7 h during which the sacks are turned over 3 times. The curd obtained from more or less skimmed or fat-enriched milk may also be drained by centrifugation and optionally mixed with fats or non-fat milk dry matter to obtain the desired composition. Ingredients are optionally incorporated in the curds in a kneader. Co-extrusion From a continuous vacuum-type meat filling machine comprising a hopper equipped with a helical cramming arm and a vane pump arranged beneath the hopper, the cramming arm being controlled in dependence upon the output of the pump, the drained curd containing 50% fats is forced through a nozzle formed by two coaxial tubes into the annulus between the outer tube and the inner tube. The inner tube is fed with the drained curd of 70% fats which is aerated to an overrun to 80% by volume with nitrogen in an overrunning unit equipped with a positive pump. In other cases, the drained curd of 70% fats is distributed without overrunning by a positive pump. The 50% fats curd is at 0°-8° C. and the aerated curd is at 8°-16° C., depending on the products. The strand formed is deposited onto a conveyor belt moving at the same linear speed as the extrusion rate, cut by means of a cutter and the portions optionally are coated with breadcrumbs. Alternatively, lactic curd containing 15.5% dry matter and 30% fats, based on dry matter, are dosed by a plug dosing unit by co-extrusion in containers at 4° C. The outer, non-aerated curd contains 1% diglyceride (CREMODAN). The curd of the core has the same composition, but contains 2% stabilizer and is overrun to 100% with nitrogen. Where the aerated curds contain pieces, they are incorporated after overrunning. Products Obtained In FIG. 1, the stick comprises a core 2 of circular cross-section which consists of aerated, lactic curd flavoured with paprika and an outer layer 1 of annular cross-section consisting of garlic-flavoured lactic curd coated with breadcrumbs 3. In FIG. 2, the core 2 consists of a non-aerated lactic curd blue-green in colour and flavoured with Danish blue while the outer layer 1 consists of a natural lactic curd. In FIG. 3, the outer tube has a scalloped cross-section. It forms an outer layer 1 of sweet, strawberry-flavoured and pink-coloured lactic curd. The inner tube is cylindrical and gives a core 2 of sweet, non-aerated orange-flavoured lactic curd yellow-orange in colour. The strand is cut at narrow intervals. In FIG. 4, the outer tube is of circular cross-section. The inner tube has a spiral configuration. The outer layer 1 consists of a garlic-flavoured lactic curd while the core consists of a non-aerated, paprika-flavoured lactic curd. The sticks are formed in a diaphragm-type co-extruder and cut by a wire arranged at the exit of the extrusion head. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the containers of a transparent plastics material 3 contain the lactic curd 2 forming the core overrun to 100% and containing 15% strawberry pulp and 5% sugar and the outer, non-aerated lactic curd 1 containing 22% peach pieces and 5% sugar. In FIG. 7, the transparent container 3 in the form of a cup contains the core cheese 2 overrun to 100% and containing 1% salt, small pieces of tomato and tomato concentrate, the tomato representing 15%. The outer cheese layer 1 contains 1% salt and 22% pieces of leek. EXAMPLE 2 Production of Rennet Curd Milk containing 3.5% fats is pasteurized for 15 s at 72° C. and cooled to 32° C. in a vat. The milk is inoculated at 32° C. with 1% mesophilic ferments (FLORA DANICA), after which 1/10,000 rennet is added in a quantity of 30 ml to 100 l milk. Coagulation takes place over 35 minutes at 32° C. The curd is then cut into approximately 8 mm cubes in 10 minutes and then stirred for 15 minutes. The serum is then removed, corresponding to approximately 50% of the volume of milk used. Water is added at 30° C. in a volume equivalent to the volume of serum removed, followed by stirring for 10 minutes. The serum, corresponding to approximately 50% of the volume of milk used, is then removed and the curd is placed in a drainage vat. The curd is left to acidify for about 5 h at 25° C. to a pH of 5.1. The curd contains 50% dry matter and 50% fats based on dry matter. The curd is ground in a mill for 3-5 mins. in batches of 20 kg in a 40 l bowl until grains approximately 1 mm in diameter are obtained. The ground curd is then salted with 1.5% salt and worked. Ingredients are optionally incorporated in the curd in a kneader. Co-extrusion Co-extrusion may be carried out as in Example 1 either by forming a continuous strand at 25°-30° C., which is then cut into portions, or by directly producing the portions in a diaphragm extruder. The portions are then cooled for a few minutes at 4°-8° C. to firm them. Wrapping--Ripening The portions are vacuum-wrapped in a film of a plastics material (GRACE-CRYOVAC BB4) which is hermetically sealed, after which the wrapped portions are stored in a ripening room for 15 days at 10° C. Products Obtained In FIGS. 8 and 9, the outer layer 1 consists of a curd of St. Paulin and the core 2 of a curd of Edam. The portions are obtained from a continuous strand delivered on a conveyor belt and then cut into portions. In FIG. 10, the outer layer 1 consists of a curd of Edam and the core 2 of an emulsion of cold meats. The portions are co-extruded and cut in the same way as for the product shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. In FIGS. 11 and 12, the composite cheeses shown in section consist of an outer curd of St. Paulin and an inner curd of Edam. They are obtained by means of a diaphragm co-extruder, the rounded, spherical or elongate shape obtained depending on the more or less rapid opening and closing frequency of the diaphragm in keeping with the co-extrusion rate. In FIG. 13, the configuration of the composite cheese is different because it consists of a central layer 2 of Edam-type curd between two layers 1 of St. Paulin-type curd. The portions are obtained by means of a diaphragm co-extruder, the nozzle being divided into compartments by dividing walls. Other References

Et rigtig godt hotel, hvor der er pænt og rent, og faciliteterne var i orden hele vejen rundt. En rigtig skøn pool. God morgenmad. Hotellet kan klart anbefaldes.
"God plads til rimelig pris"Anmeldt af en Hotels.com-gæst d. 7. okt 2012
Boede i stor lejlighed med lille altan. Gode muligheder for både afslapning og arbejde - skrivebord og -stol. Køkken og køleskab, så gode muligheder for selv at lave mad.

"Nice stay"
Very nice stay for the most part. The hotel staff could have been more attentive. I had a burned out light in our room, so I called the front desk to let them know. They said sorry about that but never changed it over our entire stay. Great resort for families with smaller kids.Ægte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse
"Everything We Expected and More"
We are pleased to rate everything a 5 (Very satisfied). We've never stayed here before and fully expected it to be great...and it was. The staff was friendly and professional and the room was exceptionally clean, beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed lunch at the BluEmbers on Thurs when we arrived and had the pleasure of meeting Cindy, a most wonderful […] server, so much so that we requested her station when we had our farewell breakfast before leaving on Sat. Cindy is certainly an asset of Rancho Las Palmas, and the stay was truly an exceptional experience. If we return to Rancho Mirage we will stay here again. Læs mereÆgte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse

Good points - parking outside our room, so not far to carry cases. Ice machine near by, Gina in the bar , very friendly and helpful. Room comfortable.

Highly recommend! This is one of the best family hotels we've ever been to. This place continues to strive in making it as convenient as possible for families with children. My kids (ages 12, 7, 4) loved every minute of our stay. If you don't mind paying for convenience then you will enjoy your stay. One negative feedback: a family with older children […] were throwing a football around the pool area hitting people who were quietly laying in their beach chairs.

"Nice Resort"
When we first arrived, the hotel looked nice & elegant. At check-in I was a little disappointed that I was offered to get a room closer to the pool for an additional price per night. I thought it was too pricey and declined. My family & I were place about a 3 minute walk from the pool...whatever we lived with it. At entering our room, we were impressed […] with the cleanliness of the room. It looked very elegant. We had a balcony overlooking the golf course wich was nice. There was a mini bar & mini fridge in our room that was stocked up with a bunch of goodies all of which could be consumed at an additional cost. I guess this could be convinient for some people. Our mini fridge was not working & after requesting four times to fix, the staff did not fix it. I don't understand how they expect me to consume the drinks in the mini fridge if they're hot. Plus it was packed with their stuff and no room for my own drinks. Housekeeping was ok in general. There was one day that houskeeping did not make our beds. My wife called the frontdesk for houskeeping & the frontdesk was rude about sending someone to make our beds. We were a bit taken by their comments. The lazy river & waterslides were pretty neat. Just bummed out that they close them at 6pm. There is another pool adjacent to the waterslides that stays open to 10pm. We loved the pool service. Waiters were on standby to take peoples orders for drinks or food. No need for cash, they'll charge it to your room which was convinient. Læs mereÆgte Expedia-gæsteanmeldelse

"Rancho Las Palmas stay"
This was our second visit and there were a few hiccups. We arrived at 2pm and were asked if we wanted to upgrade our room (for a fee) which we did to be poolside. We called 4x's as we did not get a text indicating our room was ready. It took until after 5pm (check in time is 4pm) and then they indicated we couldn't get the room they had promised. It […] was a little frustrating. They gave us a credit for the inconvenience. We love it there because of Splashtopia.

This is our second stay at RLP, and I was a bit disappointed this time! I made reservations for 5 of us, and they were expecting all 5 of us when we got there. however, there were only 2 double beds in the room, and they refused to bring up an extra bed, and there was no fold out. Had I known there would only be (barley) enough room for 4 people, I […] would have either booked a second room, or looked for other room type options. One of my sons had to sleep on a chair!

Hotel is not 1 building. Its more than a dozen buildings all around a large property. Be ready to walk if you do not pay extra to stay close.

Stayed there for two nights. Main reason we picked this hotel was because of the kids pool/lazy river, but it was closed the second day we were there due to a 'chemical imbalance' (think Baby Ruth in Caddyshack...).

On Thursday, September 20, while the last residents of Camp Ashraf were loading up their remaining belongings in lorries for transfer to Camp Liberty, an Iraqi colonel in an unprecedented and despicable attempt, approached one of the Camp residents on five different occasions to relay a message from the mullahs' intelligence. The message was, on the other hand, the same every time; if the resident agreed to separate from the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) and surrender to Iraqi forces, he would then be supported by the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad and join his mother and brother who were taken to Baghdad for the same reason, to return to Iran without any threat of reprisal. In this regard, the Iraqi colonel stressed that if the resident agrees to surrender to the mullahs, he would personally transfer him from Ashraf to the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad.This resident reported the details of the incident including the names and date and time to UNAMI for investigation in order to investigate the true mission of the Iraqi officers in Ashraf. The resident said to the UN monitors that if it was not for the PMOI's insistence on keeping clam in Ashraf, he would have responded appropriately to the Iraqi officer. In yet another incident on September 16, during the transfer of the seventh convoy from Ashraf to Liberty, two Iraqi officers in close cooperation with the terrorist Qods Force attempted to abduct 10 Ashraf residents while beating and injuring them. This incident has yet to be investigated by the UNAMI.The UN should not allow the Iraqi officers and forces in Ashraf and Liberty to act as agents of the religious fascism ruling Iran against Iranian refugees and Resistance movement.Iranian Resistance condemns in the strongest possible terms this conduct which sets a dangerous precedent and urges the US and the UN to prevent Iraqi government from using its officers for relaying messages of the Iranian Intelligence Ministry and taking such measures.

The middle-class army suffered in morale, and the living conditions of the lower classes, though they were allowed activity in the fleet, deteriorated in the overcrowded city. The overcrowding had an unforeseeable consequence in a plague, which in the second summer of the war took a quarter of the population. No obvious success counterbalanced the discomforts of war, and Pericles was deposed from office and fined. He was soon reelected, but he took no new initiatives before his death in autumn 429. After the first campaigning season of the war, he had delivered the funeral speech over the fallen, which Thucydides reports at length. They had fallen, he said, in preserving a way of life that he described in detail. Athenian life often fell short of this Periclean ideal, but he conceived it with clarity and made it generally recognized. He conceived his Athens as "an education to Greece." If the last speech attributed to him by Thucydides is ... (200 of 2,987 words)Weakness of Pericles' strategy.

Le Mans Travel guide
Le Mans : Michelin's recommendations
Pork products, insurance and motor racing could be cited to give a summary of Le Mans, but that would be an inaccurate picture. One of France's four "red cities" (on account of the hue of its houses) it encompasses within its Gallo-Roman walls a rich history: a fine Gothic cathedral, and a warren of cobbled narrow streets bordered by half-timbered houses. The old town is known as Cité Plantagenêt, a reference to the dynasty which originated in these parts and long controlled the county of Maine.

Xperience Fitness has signed a letter of intent to move into the previously-vacant Kmart on East Sunset Drive.
The letter is for about 40,000 of the 120,000-square-foot building. Xperience Fitness, as a result, will move out of its smaller location on West Sunset Drive.
Community Development Director Steve Crandell said the Milwaukee-based Endeavour Corp. is buying the building and will invest $13 million into the site for the redevelopment and to create two new tenants, which could house retail stores and restaurants.
The building will be in a tax incremental financing district (TIF) and includes a $2.6 million pay-as-you-go TIF incentive to help finance the project.
Crandell said the TIF district requires that Endeavour spend money up front.
"We're not borrowing city tax dollars for this project," Crandell said. "The developer fronts all of the money, so there's no risk to the city."
A public hearing before the Plan Commission on the TIF district was scheduled for last night.
The Kmart has been vacant for the last two years.

As autumn creeps in, I am finding myself more and more taken by simple styles. An appreciation for straight lines, distinct colours and unfussy features are drawing me in, and luckily for me there is plenty of this on the high street.
With the ever increasing influence of Scandinavian design there are many retailers who advocate a philosophy of simplicity, minimalism and functionality in their products. Here are some recent examples that caught my eye and that possess at least one of these qualities!
You can get these gorgeous 'Dandelion' tiles from Marrakech Design, a Swedish company based in Stockholm. They do a range of geometric tiles that can be placed in a number of formations. As well as being innovative and good looking they also come in a beautiful selection of colours. www.contemporarytiles.se
The London based Hand & Eye Studio produce a small but beautiful range of work. Tom Housdon and his team work closely with their materials to create their exquisite designs.
This pendant 'Blow up' is a made from mouth blown glass.
'Terracotta Medium' is one of a group of glazed and unglazed terracotta pendants. http://handandeyestudio.co.uk/
I have recently taken note of Folklore, a character full store that offer considered ecological and ethical design, that is simple and functional.
'Ceramic Dip Cup', handmade porcelain. http://www.shopfolklore.com/
'Pulp Pendant 1', made from recycled paper. http://www.shopfolklore.com/
'Gradient Cushion – Blue', hand dyed using eco-textile pigments. http://www.shopfolklore.com
I love the grey tones on this geometric cushion that are subtly different on both sides.
'Harlequin Geometric Cushion' by Niki Jones – Grey Tones. http://www.rockettstgeorge.co.uk
Striking, stylish and tactile, this lovely cushion is a great burst of colour.
'Embroidered geometric harlequin cushion', made from Cotton & Wool, by Niki Jones. http://www.rockettstgeorge.co.uk
Lee Broom has designed these fabulous crystal Bulbs With the help of Cumbria Crystal, the last remaining producer of handmade English Full lead Crystal in the UK. They are both simple and glamorous.
'Crystal bulb and pendant light' http://www.rockettstgeorge.co.uk
You can get this charming gemlike 'Set of Seven Nugget Soap Stones', by Pelle from Giftlab. Bold and original, they must be some of the most stylized soaps I have ever come across. http://www.giftlab.com
They are also available to buy as separate items.
'Citrine Lemon Basil Soap Stone Rock.'
'Aquamarine Camphor Soap Stone Rock'
'Rose Quartz Grapefruit Soap Stone Rock'.
So sometimes less is more when it comes to design, and the simplest things the most satisfactory.

Who says that couples have to party together? Victoria Beckham and David Beckham had a night out with their pals, Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana Ramsay, on Thursday night, but the two couples didn't hang out together.

Talk About Posh: Inside the Royals' Christmas Traditions
9 hours ago
Source: Getty As Prince George prepares for his first Christmas, we thought we would take a look at how the royal family traditionally celebrates the holidays. Unfortunately for Kate Middleton, Prince William, and Prince Harry, Christmas with Queen Elizabeth II doesn't mean they'll be spending the holidays in a relaxed family atmosphere. In fact, Christmas at the queen's official Winter retreat, Sandringham, is a different beast altogether. If your only knowledge of British aristocrats comes from Downton Abbey, we've put together a handy guide to how the most famous family in the world celebrates the holidays. The Protocol Source: The Sandringham Estate While most of us think of Christmas as being a quiet, casual time at home, the holidays are hardly a low-key affair for the royals.
