This is a chiffon cardigan that I made for a friend. She is also a designer and is very creative. She provided the embellishment to put on the shoulder and waist. The back is satin.
This was made for someone from work. Really cute and light. Back was made out of all lace. She loved it.
This is beautiful and well styled. Did you also make the jacket?
pretty colors!

Here's a new idea for baked beans: add shiitake and baby Portobello mushrooms. This recipe also uses three varieties of beans—pinto, red kidney and Great Northern.
1. Sauté mushrooms, onion, and garlic in olive oil in large skillet until tender, 8-10 min. Stir in flour; cook 1-2 min. longer.
2. Combine mushroom mixture and remaining ingredients, except parsley, in 2-qt. casserole.
3. Bake uncovered at 350° F for 45 min.; sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Tip: Any desired wild or domestic mushrooms can be used in this recipe.

i would think because it is probably going to be free.
i was thinking the same thing.lol
like matt meyer said, maybe it's because it's free and strange is promoting to much stuff right now.
it's possible it's getting pushed back too.
yup its free and the Gift Of Rap Show Is the Main Focus Right Now cuz they aint even promoting Prozak's Ep Which Drops Next week
Assuming that's it's free, there isn't really a need to promote it until it's released.
It's not like you're trying to get a certain number of first week sales am i right?
It will be free because it's a collection of songs already released by other artists and Mayday doesn't own the rights to any of the beats and verses.

Having the gate extension is a huge help

About Me First Time Parent
Comments about North States Industries North States Superyard Colorplay Door Extension:
Having the gate extension has been a huge help with getting my 10 month old in and out .. He is only getting heavier so letting him come in and out on his own has been a huge help on my back
Comment on this review
don't like it but no other choice
By over-achieving mom
from ca
I love the idea not to climb over the gate. I'm 5 ft tall and I can't do it unlike my husband. However, it made out of plastic only for that it is flimsy. To close and open the gate, you had to try couple of times to do it. It is sad that there are no other option than to use this product.
Good gate, would buy again

Use with the surround all the time. Saves lifting the babies over the wall and me from climbing over it. Great that it has a lock on it if needed. Love the colors!

My girlfriend and I have been going to La Tasca now for a couple of years and overall our experience has not been that bad. The food has been acceptable without ever being extraordinary. My main complaint is that I'm not sure how much of their food is freshly made on site, I get the feeling many things are prepack and just heated up at the different restaurants (no really in keeping with the whole fresh Spanish tone). You may ask if this was my opinion then why did I keep going back,... (read more)

We love Spanish food, and so were looking forward to La Tasca. Our first foray was to Canary Wharf a couple of years ago, where even basics like Tortilla and chorizo were very poor and barely edible. The experience was so bad in fact, that we complained via the website. We did, in fairness, get a call from the branch manager, who was apologetic but philosophical about the quality of the food "it's a chain, what can you expect?" was her attitude. She offered me vouchers which she suggested we... (read more)

We have chosen this restaurant as we really wanted to eat some tasty Spanish food...but we were wrong. We started with some tapas and I discovered you can buy the exact same thing from Tesco for 2£..which is probably what they do..put everything on a plate, olive oil on top..and that is it.. client served. Than we ordered paella for 3...absolutely disgusting.. we received a huge pan of horrible rice with a tomato sauce, 3 prawns and 6 mussels on top..the taste was awful. I will never go to...

We were a group of 9 celebrating a birthday. 6 of our party went for the party menu at 15.00 per head. The other 3 wanted the single paella at 9.95. The party meals came out well ahead of our meals. When the paella arrived, we were very dissappointed. Rather then the 3 single paellas we were expecting and had ordered. We got a pan of paella. When we questioned the waitress we were told it was paella for 3! This was outragous, yes there was enough rice for 3 BUT only 3 prawns and of the 6... (read more)

RUDE service. After two out of ten people failed to give ID (When they weren't even drinking) the waitress went to the manager, and he disgustingly approached the table and gathered our attention by clapping his hands and barking out 'NO ID NO DRINKS' It was really not needed. He even separated the table from those who weren't drinking Throughout the whole night he eyed us. Our drink glasses remained empty, not once did the waitress ask us if our meal was OK, or if we wanted more drinks, we... (read more)

The reviews on this site seem quite harsh. I had my first visit to La Tasca last week and I was very impressed. The staff were actually Spanish and very friendly. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere. As part of a group of 16 people I wasn't sure we'd have enough food but there was plenty for all and everyone went home very full. I would definitely recommend to a friend. The only possible downside could be the price, maybe not somewhere to visit often, or look out for any deals they may... (read more)

I think the negative reviewers just don't like tapas. La Tasca is brilliant, it can be as cheap or expensive as you want it to be. Every wednesday and Sunday there is usually 6 tapas for £10.95.. had this and I was stuffed! I usually get four tapas, using their 2 for 1 vouchers, which are always available (google search it). The food is great and freshly prepared. (read more)

I wish I'd read the reviews before booking.
Atmosphere - lively and relaxed and I thought the decor was OK too.
Service - amateur at best. No organisation or allocation of staff to tables. No sign of a manager overseeing the "team" only one of whom appeared to be working.
Food - Out of a packet into the microwave or deep fat fryer. Bland, warm not hot and of the poorest quality. Of special note were the "Tiger Prawns". 6 of the smallest prawns that I have ever seen. Clearly not as...

My partner and I took our daughter here today and I have to say the place is shambolic. We were using our Tastecard which took a 'tiny' bit of sting out the experience, in that we only had to pay for 50% of PART of our order. Drinks and everything we ordered that was not on the 'Tapas to Share' menu were charged at standard prices. The manager (I use this term very loosely indeed) showed us to our table and was very rude in how he quickly explained the terms of using a tastecard, in a voice... (read more)

Chorizo in red wine (yes, floating), is typically Spanish, so it is authentic.

Appalling food. A range of greasy deep fried items covered in the same bland tomato sauce. Portion size was very small which added to the feeling of being ripped off. Along with the tapas we ordered a paella which was slightly less bland but more disgusting. The prawns in it had clearly been placed in frozen and despite being burnt on the outside, were barely defrosted on the inside. The one I ate tasted like the bottom of an old freezer and frankly I was concerned for my health.

Dissapointed is not the word!.... La Tasca has gone 'down hill' big time. I used to eat here a lot - bringing family and friends to a nice social event, never again.It seems the prices have shot up, and the quality of the food diminished. Obviously the chain has lost the plot - thinking about profits rather than quality. The food was luke warm,and so was the salad! the chicken was tough and the service was average. Don't get me wrong, I don't like to be 'kiss arsed' by my waiter/waitress,... (read more)

I went to la tasca, for what I thought was a good value for money lunch deal. I have to say I was shocked at the quality of food. None of it appears to be cooked fresh. In fact I am certain that all dishes are ordered in pre-prepared and bunged in a microwave to serve. Shocking! I've simply nothing good to say about the food. Mcdonalds offers better quality.

I am a big fan of tapas and have never been so disappointed with a restaurant. This is the second time I have been to a La Tasca (it was not my choice to go again but an engagement that I couldn't avoid) and I had hoped that my first miserable experience was a one-off but unfortunately not. The food was bland, uninteresting and hugely overpriced for what we were presented with. I don't even know how it is possible to remove so much flavour from chorizo.

Tremendously disappointing experience. We were sat at our table with one menu between four of us then faced an extended wait for drinks. The wine at £18 a bottle was vile. The food came in ridiculously small portions that were invariably bland, oily and tasted the same. We then ordered pudding and waited 45 minutes for it to arrive. Unfortunately, only three of us got what we'd ordered. No apology from the waiter, he just trotted off with the pudding and reappeared five minutes later... (read more)

Went out for a celebration as love Tapas, wish I had read review first.Food was plain,boring and luke warm. Ordered Paella for three, it was burnt,and tasteless and only realised later when a couple ordered the same dish, even though you pay for three you get a portion for two. The table was dirty and sticky,and after our meal was delivered no further attention from our waitress. Overall very disappointing and begrudged paying the bill. Not value for money. (read more)

I have been to other La Tasca restaurants before and they were ok, but this one, just off the Strand in London was horrible.
First, we were given an awful table, even though the restaurant was half empty. Upon changing tables, we had to wait around 10 minutes for somebody to take our order. The food (starters were olives and bread) didn't come for another 15 minutes or so!

I found this review very helpful because I ate, with my family, at the same branch of La tasca last Saturday. The tortilla espanola was rubbish, as it was nearly all potato and hardly any egg or tomato. They brought another which was identical, then didn't charge for it.The seafood paella had maybe two prawns in it, some mussells and lots of chicken. 2 yrs ago in Oxford their paella was better: it seems quality has declined. I once lived in Valencia so know what a travesty their paella is! Nice staff but naff food.

I'd like to be able to write a review but we couldn't get in to an almost empty restaurant at 5.10pm on a Sunday. All the tables had been booked we were told. An hour and a half later we returned to our car having eaten elsewhere and it was barely busier. Apparently, the tables had been reserved for diners who were turning up about 7! So tables have to be kept clear for nearly 2 hours in a 'casual dining' restaurant? We'd even said we weren't staying long as we had our children with us... (read more)

I have worked in most of them, and therefore I had to eat in many of them as well. Very Unfortunate. Most food at La Tasca is not prepared fresh and and they are cooked or reheated in Microwaves. So, diners always have a choice of eating microwaved or fried food. I could not even bring myself to eat the free staff food that we were given. It just does not taste nice except the freshly cooked paella sharers. But, still the flavour and standard of them still are not up to the standards of a... (read more)

Absolutely terrible food. Bland and tasteless. The 'paella' seemed to be pre-cooked and then microwaved Batchelors savoury rice with no taste, the potatas bravas were lukewarm and the 'spicy' sauce was not remotely spicy. The battered fish was OK, made me wish I'd gone for tea at a chip-shop instead! The meatballs tasted like they were made with beef that was on the turn, consequently I didn't eat them. The chicken croquettes.... Well, Trade Descriptions Act anyone? They were basically... (read more)

Overcooked yet cold and extremely bland. A great disappointment, each dish sent back as it was just too cold, we then get a complementary dessert of what must have been reheated stale churros. On the positive side, excellent staff, good service, and very apologetic - maybe it was a one-off occurrence, but once too many for me. (read more)

I have dined in La Tasca a few times in the restaurants near Oxford Street and near Covent Garden in London. We usually order some tapas and then the paella for two. I totally loved the food, very well prepared and very delicious, the service we had was immaculate, friendly and helpful staff, the prices are reasonable for central London, the atmosphere is very pleasant, the restaurants were clean and tidy, so were the bathrooms. All in all I really enjoy La Tasca and would definately go... (read more)

As there are quite a few negative reviews about La Tasca on here, thought I should report a good experience of La Tasca in Kingston last night.
We turned up mostly because we had a 50% off voucher - always a bonus, and I have to say that at full price it might be a bit over-priced (but then I'm a cheap-skate)!
However, though the place was busy, we were found a pleasant table outside (by the river), and served quickly with a selection of tapas which, while not perhaps what you would get...

I have dined so many times at La Tasca in London and will be coming there very often when there is a chanse. The place has a great price-quality ratio and wonderful atmosphere. You don't have to be an expert in spanish cuisine to order something at La Tasca, but merely relax and enjoy almost everything in their menu. Starters and main meals have the same size and similar in price, and that's what makes it so special, to have 3-4 different and delicious meals, combine them so that they would... (read more)

My first and only visit to La Tasca in Solihull. Paella, dried rice with a few peas and bits of carrot, Croquetas de pollo - supposed to be chicken and was is fact mashed potato with chicken flavouring deep fried in batter. Salad, a few bits of lettuce and cucumber. All dishes were approximately £5. each. It was all a big rip off. We left with a feeling that we had been 'had'. No wonder the restaurant has to give away money off tokens for people to go there. Avoid at all costs.

The recent menu changes at La Tasca are a disappointment. When they advertise paella why fob customers off with long grain rice, a cheap alternative and an insult to any Spaniard, not to mention against the trade description.The batter for the gambas garbardina, is now a cheap 'Farmfoods style' alternative. The light beer style batter was far more authentic.The patatas bravas is now far from 'brave' and is nothing more than a tin of tomatoes thrown on potatoes.

Just visited La Tasca on Greek Street in Leeds. I have to say that the service was quite good - our Autralian waiter from Perth was excellent! However the food was terrible. The paella should have been done under the trade descriptions act. Its was greasy, it had been cooked on an oven, they had used tumeric instead of saffron BUT - the worst thing was that they used black (Maybe squid) ink to colour the bottom of the paella pan to simulate the burnt/crunchy bottom that is the best bit of an...

I love tapas but La Tasca shouldn't be allowed to use the word- the food we had in the Tring branch in July was the worst I've ever had and would make a Spanish person weep. 'Paella' like a boil-in-the-bag frozen job, squid rings grey and rubbery, the meat in the meatballs tasted so awful we wondered if it was off and left them, and the Spanish omelette was also grey ( a bit of a theme) and dry as cardboard. They charged £1 for bread! The children's menu 'generously' allowed 'one scoop' of... (read more)

La Tasca bristol Cabot circus. Lunch . The food was in general poor but edible. The deep fried prawn dish was good. However the bread dish was like a findus frozen pizza, the chorizo tasted reheated a number of times and the paella was just rice. We ate , we were hungry. The main problem was the price 4-5 pounds per tapas plate . We actually counted what we got for our money. Prawns £1.25 per prawn, 4 in the dish. Olives 30p each, ten in dish .

Very unsatisfactory meal at La Tasca. my girlfriend and I went to La Tasca for the first itme in years. It will be several more years before I go again!
Initially, the bread was slightly stale. Not a great start. Then, the paella arrived. Seafood paella. It had 2 musslels in it, one peice of squid, and a limp prawn. That was it!
The mixed salald was okay- if bland. It was mising the advertised egg though. The tiger prawns though! Yuk!!! hey were just mushy, horrible things. We sent them back...

Recently visited La Tasca in Derby for the first time. Not being well versed in Spanish food, I was really looking forward to trying something different. One of our party of four had got a BOGOF voucher for the Tapas to Share menu, so it seemed like a good deal. What a disappointment! We had booked a table and arrived on time, only to be kept standing around by the sole waitress whilst she finished a conversation on her mobile. She did say it was the manager, but so what?

Cambridge Branch of La Tasca.
I went in on Saturday the 18th of April 09. Although the restaurant was almost empty, the staff were in a panic mode for no apparent reason. they failed to serve us correctly such as missing the cutlery taking away the empty plates. they delivered the potates burnt non edible, the food was such a disaster. this is one place i will never visit again!

Rock Revival Darcy Easy Boot Stretch Jean 4 4
Smaller fitting easys A lot smaller fitting than any other easy fit I've owned. Very pretty jeans, just not nearly as comfortable as I would have thought. March 23, 2013
LOVE these These jeans made me a Rock Revival fan for life. They are super comfortable, very chic and the quality is top notch. I wish I could order more pairs for the future and I hope they come in a crop style as well! February 19, 2013
SMALL For an Easy Boot, these are VERY small. I am usually able to order 1-2 sizes smaller than usual with the Easy Boots. I took the previous reviewers advice and didn't size down. I ordered my usual size, and they are uncomfortably small. Other than that, I like them. So I guess I'll try to lose some weight... February 9, 2013
Runs small for easy fit!!! I was really looking forward to trying these jeans on in the store as I love the wash and detail on the back pocket. I was very disappointed. They run extremely small - not like the traditional easy fit. Usually I am either a 27 or 28 in the easy fit and had to go up to a 29 in these jeans. I wear a 29 in regular or slim fitted jeans. Other than that they looked very cute on in the 29! The dark wash and back pockets are so cute! October 14, 2012

Since X11-Light would be a subset of the X11 protocol, there would not be much writing of specifications.
We have X.org Server which is a implementation of X11, now just rip out and burn as much as you can while making sure it still compiles and runs the usual stuff.
Then see whats left.
Then so be it.
Just strip out everything that can be stripped out, and if all GTK and Qt applications still work, and almost nothing of X is left, then that is just good, right?
Then the codebase will be smaller, it will be easier to maintain, quicker to compile, easier to fix bugs, and everything will be great.
Once Wayland is accepted and is good working order, I agree a X11 lite would be nice. But instead of lite, you could call it X11 Legacy server. Basically stripped down to a really easy to support portion of X11 for applications and drivers from the last few years(aka no older drivers or applcations), for use ONLY in wayland as a server. That way people can have thier X11 for things that just won't be ported EVER, but its not has hard to maintain over time. X11 development could be entirely dropped except for yearly updates once X11 legacy server was in working order.
Of coarse, this means there would be 3 servers be maintained, so I have no idea if this would ACTUALLY save people effort, but its a pretty idea.
As I understand it Xorg had when it was as biggest almost a million lines code, if I remember phoronix article right wayland has around ten thousands line ( in the middle of 2012).
Xorg light need to be very light if it should get that small. How big is the refactoring work that is needed to do something like that?
By the way, its look like Arch linux has wayland in their regular package repositories now.
Last edited by Akka; 02-11-2013 at 11:07 AM.
But Solaris and BSD use X.org Server too.
So even without Wayland, we should still trim down X.org Server and rip away all stuff we don't need.
Yes, and those applications should still work too.
But there are lots of other cruft that we don't need to support, such as glyphs and drawing operations.
I think the biggest weakness regarding Linux display services is the fact that proprietary video drivers are almost an afterthought. It seems that Wayland is going to continue the tradition, though I guess most of it is license related so there's not much that can be done anyway.
But Android pulled it off pretty well.
And maybe this is what Canonical is focusing on with their own implementation (should it come about), because they know they'll finally have to get real with video drivers if they want to enter the phone market.
Yes and no. DRI3 is working on allowing multiple OpenGL implementations to be installed at once so you could have both Radeon and Catalyst installed at once and switch between them with a reboot. There's nothing in Wayland that says "No closed source drivers!" All wayland does is stake pointers and buffers and displays their contents. Anything BEFORE the buffer, such as how that buffer got filled or who wrote to it, is a client problem with the one exception that Wayland will not allow programs to write to (or read?) eachother's buffers. If you need to share buffers you need to do shared memory or ideally, DMA-BUF
There about, Daniel's video on Xorg -> Wayland quoted 900k though he said at one time he could've sworn that he saw 1.2Million. A lot of that was because in order to be platform-agnostic X had to do a lot of things that are now handled by other programs. For example, once upon a time Xorg had an entire printer server & stack built in because at the time none of the unix's had a standarized way to do printing, now we have CUPS and Samba but at the time it was needed. (Yes that got removed awhile back, Daniel said it was the largest, single, code purge in X's history lol)

Washington, DC Wednesday, August 1, 2012
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler said Tuesday that regulators failed to protect customers of now-bankrupt investment firm Peregrine, from about $200 million in losses. It was part of his testimony at a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing that also looked at the bankruptcy of MF Global, where about $1.6 billion of customer money was lost. The committee also heard from trustees in charge of overseeing bankruptcy proceedings of both companies.
MF Global Holdings, Ltd., which filed for bankruptcy in 2011, was headed by former New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine. The company has been the subject of congressional scrutiny related to the company's demise.
Peregrine Financial Group filed for bankruptcy on July 10, a day after the CEO attempted suicide, leaving a note "describing how he bilked customers of more than $100 million," according to Reuters.

Believe it: "The X-Files" are at the Smithsonian
I started watching The X-Files circa 1997. I was in middle school, finally old enough to stay up until ten on a school night, and oh buddy, did I get hooked. The bizarre tales of paranormal activity instantly made for fascinating viewing, but the show's tone—which ranged from the frightening to the comic—and the fundamental conflicts between the central figures—Fox Mulder, the believer, pitted against Dana Scully, the skeptic—endowed the show with a tremendous amount of character, a quality sorely missed in today's age of reality TV. Being without cable (there's something about paying for airwaves that never made sense to me) I haven't seen the show since it's finale in 2002. Nevertheless, my "innie" geek went "outie" as I was able to attend the ceremony commemorating the donation of X-Files memorabilia to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. I was able to take an up-close gawk at Mulder and Scully's FBI ID badges—you know, the ones they flipped out in, like, every episode with those "yeah, we know we're badass" expressions on their faces— alongside a coffee-stained script, storyboards, maquettes and the iconic "I Want to Believe" poster. But, hands down, the icing on the cake was my brief interview with series creator Chris Carter. Unfortunately the donated items will not be on view until the museum's renovation is completed, but in the meantime, X-Philes can get their Mulder and Scully fix with the new X-Files movie, due out July 25. What are your feelings about a second big screen adaptation of one of the most popular television series of all time? Sound off in the comments section below!

PHS board talks tax levy, teacher evaluation tools
PRINCETON — Taxpayers in the Princeton High School district could have a slightly lower property tax rate for the 2012 year, payable in 2013.
At Monday's meeting of the PHS board of education, Superintendent Kirk Haring said the projected Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV) for the district shows a tentative increase of about 3 percent, though an estimated 1 percent increase is more realistic. If the district does have a 3 percent EAV increase, the tax rate could go down as much as 6 cents per $100. At a 1 percent EAV increase, a 4-cent decrease in the tax rate is more likely, Haring said.
Any time the school district can give any type of decrease in its tax rate, that's a tremendous thing, Haring said. Especially in today's economy, any little thing the school district can do is a good thing to help taxpayers, he said.

Kitty Comforts????
How can this be comfortable?!? I came downstairs to get something to drink, and found Oscar in the desk letter file thingy...WEIRD CAT I tell you! He just looked at me with his shifty eyes as if to say "So? You got a problem with this? Can't you see I'm sleeping?"
It just made me chuckle and I wanted to share it with you :c)
It's another beautiful fall morning in SC. DH and son went deer hunting. No....scratch that...they went deer watching. Maybe they are more like Oscar than I am because they seem to LIKE sitting in trees doing nothing? But I think it's great that they are spending father/son time together.
Down to the nitty gritty here! 2 finals to go. Parents come in on thursday evening. Jeff's got a doc appt thursday afternoon after school to get the pins out of his hand. It's going to be a crazy schedule this week, so any house cleaning to get things ready has to happen between now and wednesday night....Never DID get the carpets clean. I decided I don't care. The walls that definately need painting? I'm not going to care about those either. If they don't like it here they are welcome to go down to the Amerisuites! I'll just do the best I can....however, I opened the fridge this morning, and then quickly moved the 'cleaning out the fridge' project to the top of my cleaning list!
Yesterday a friend and I met for lunch, and then went to the fairgrounds for the annual holiday arts/crafts festival thing. Can you believe that there was NOTHING quilty there? Alot of basket makers...I mean ALOT....every time we turned the corner. I love hand made baskets, and that is something that I want to learn to do.
I however LOVE the booths that have musicians selling their own CD's. There was one guy playing hammered dulcimer....and he had a celtic CD that was awesome, so I bought that...and then around the corner was another gal, a harpist (not a harpy, just a harpist!) and her CD's were wonderful too, so I bought two of those......these are for my massage music collection. I've always loved this kind of music though.....I play it all the time, even before I started school because I love stuff without lyrics...just instrumental. It leaves time for thoughts in my head. I love to sing along to stuff with words, but if I'm singing, I'm not thinking, and that can cause problems! *LOL*
Okay, back to the cleaning and quilting...and hopefully a trek through the woods at Harbison State Forrest again. It's going to warm up today and the colors are just brilliant! That might be my lunch hour treat :c)

The Art Program at Alma College covers a wide range of visual disciplines. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the close student-faculty relationships and the excellent undergraduate studio facilities in the Clack Art Center to design programs suited to their own needs and those of their profession—or simply to explore art.
Two major programs are offered by the Art and Design Department. The Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree is a pre-professional program in studio art or design. The B.F.A. is offered in the areas of ceramics, drawing, graphic design, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture and three-dimensional design.
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree program provides a more general study suitable for those wishing to teach in the public schools. Graduates of Alma's Art and Design programs find career opportunities in such fields as advertising, design, illustration, museum work, photography, printing and teaching.

Strictly's Gumede seeing physio
9:28am Thursday 26th September 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2013
Bookies' favourite Natalie Gumede has been forced to see a physio after putting in so much rigorous training for Strictly Come Dancing - with a gruelling six hours each day.
The former Coronation Street star and show partner Artem Chigvintsev have been putting in so much extra time to impress viewers this weekend that she has had to seek help to free tension after fears she had damaged her knee.
A show source said: "Natalie and Artem have been training so much, she was forced to rest up on Monday after putting in extra hours over the weekend.
"She thought she'd damaged her knee, but it was just the result of over-worked muscles which the physio soon put right."
The pair also found themselves tussling for studio space with rivals Abbey Clancy and Aljaz Skorjanec as they competed to put in extra hours.
Both couples tried to practise in the same room for a spell this week, but it did not work out so Natalie and Artem moved on because they were the ones who had extended their booking.
The celebrities have all been putting in huge amounts of training in the early stages, with a total of 905 hours between the 15 couples in preparation for their first live dance.
Former rugby star Ben Cohen and pro partner Kristina Rihanoff notched up 44 hours in one week.
The first live show of the series takes place tomorrow night (September 27), with half the line-up taking to the dance floor. The remainder will do their first live dance on Saturday's edition of the BBC One series.
Bookmaker William Hill has Natalie as the 9/4 favourite to triumph in the series.

Other than a few clouds and very isolated showers around Everglades City and Marco Island today, you would hardly know a cold front is in the area.
The front is not destined to bring us any significant relief from the warm 80s and will continue to drift over south Florida and weaken tomorrow. The forecast tonight continues to look good as we track partly cloudy skies and temperatures dropping back to the mid 60s.
Rain showers are possible in southern Collier County, and few other places will see rain showers this evening. As the aforementioned front sinks slowly south and moves over south Florida, we will wake up to variable clouds in the morning.
Rain chances stay low -- around 10 percent -- during the morning and afternoon on Thursday. High temperatures will touch 80 degrees in the afternoon on Thursday.
Looking ahead to Friday, I expect the winds to pick up a bit from the northeast and gust above 20 mph. Skies will be partly cloudy on Friday and stay quiet for Saturday as well.
Humidity comes up over the weekend in advance of our next cold front due to cross the area on Sunday. At this point it looks like we have a better chance for some showers on Sunday.
After this weather system goes by we should notice some slightly cooler air over southwest Florida next week. Our highs should stay in the upper 70s for a few days and overnight lows will drop to the lower 60s -- nothing too dramatic in the overall weather picture.

Reviewed on 10/12By Dr. Kern & Dr. Carr
Jeffrey Kern, MD Dept. of Medicine Chief, Division of Oncology
View full profile
Laurie Carr, MD Dept. of Medicine
Lung cancer treatment options often include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination. There are three levels in the body that are considered in controlling lung cancer: local, regional and systemic (or whole body control).
There are different types of surgery used in the treatment of lung cancer. Your doctor may recommend one of the following procedures in the treatment of your lung cancer.
This surgery may be done by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Using this procedure, several small incisions are made to remove a portion of a lung. Occasionally the operation cannot be done by VATS and a larger incision has to be made in the chest to remove the tumor and lung. This is called a thoracotomy.
Radiation therapy is used to kill cancer cells and/or keep cancer cells from growing where the radiation is provided. Radiation therapy is aimed from a machine outside the body targeting the tumor. This is often used with lung cancer and performed by a radiation oncologist. The radiation therapy is calculated so you receive a high enough dose of radiation aimed at the tumor while sparing normal tissue. Radiation therapy can also be provided internally with a radiation device placed inside the body by the tumor. This is not used as often with lung cancer.
Radiation therapy may also affect normal cells. Radiation therapy may affect normal cells that duplicate quickly and are near the radiation area. This may lead to side effects.
Side effects of radiation for lung cancer may include:
Talk with your radiation oncologist about helpful techniques to treat the side effects.
Chemotherapy is the use of medications to kill the cancer cells and stop them from duplicating.
Chemotherapy is often given through a vein in an IV (intravenous) catheter, or through a large catheter, called a port, that is implanted in the chest. This will prevent you from having a needle inserted in a vein each time you need medicine. Chemotherapy is less irritating when it is placed in a large vein through a port. The chemotherapy then moves throughout the body to kill cancer cells. This is systemic treatment. Some newer chemotherapy medications may be given as a pill.
Cycles Chemotherapy is often given in cycles. These cycles last approximately 3 weeks, although this may vary depending on the chemotherapy used. The chemotherapy is often given several times during this 3-week period. Then your body is given a chance to rest before another cycle is started. The number of cycles may vary, but often 4-6 cycles of chemotherapy are given.
Two to three chemotherapy medications are often given together to treat lung cancer. The combination of medication is selected by your oncologist to best control your lung cancer.
Chemotherapy can also affect normal cells. Normal cells that duplicate quickly are most often affected and this is often related to side effects.
Side effects of chemotherapy for lung cancer may include:
Talk with your healthcare provider about helpful techniques to treat the side effects. Your chemotherapy may need to be adjusted based on your side effects and your response to the chemotherapy.
Advances in chemotherapy include targeted therapy. Medication is targeted toward the cancer cells without harming normal cells. This is an exciting new area of lung cancer treatment, but it cannot be used in everyone - only in particular types of lung cancer. Targeted therapy may be used alone.
Your oncologist will consider many factors to determine the best lung cancer treatment plan for you. These factors include your age, the specific type of cancer you have, the stage of cancer, your general health and your history of any past treatments given for cancer. In addition to considering your lung cancer treatment options, supportive care of symptoms is also important.
Lung cancer is highly treatable if it is caught early. Survival rates climb dramatically with early diagnosis, to around 80 percent for localized, stage I cancers. We can help. Read more.

Summer is upon us, and with it a whole new crop of seasonal questions about what is appropriate to wear in public. Who among us hasn't wondered if pajama pants are OK in the winter? What about clingy, see-through blouses for spring? And now that it's almost summer, what about nightgowns? Specifically, what about midthigh-length, straw-colored cotton nightgowns at work?
I'm asking for a friend.
Last week, my "friend" was housesitting for her parents. Rummaging through her mom's closet, she found a cute sundress that she put on and wore to work. The day passed uneventfully - quite comfortably, actually - and she thought no more of the dress, except that she liked the way it rippled just above her knees when she walked. When her parents returned the week after, her mom was upset because she couldn't locate her nightgown. ("I swear it was in my closet." "Who on earth would steal a 60-something woman's ratty nightgown?") The daughter was genuinely perplexed and helped her mom dig through the clean and dirty laundry, to no avail.
You can probably see where this is going. When my "friend" did her own laundry and returned the clean sundress to her parents' house, it dawned on everyone what had happened. Namely, the twentysomething Office Pro had mistaken her mother's sleepwear for a summery daytime dress and worn it to work. Most miraculously of all, no one had seemed to notice. (She checked with co-workers the day after she found out about the gaffe, and they pled total obliviousness. Plus, as of now, she still has her job.)
My friend would like to think she learned an invaluable lesson from Nightgowngate, although she's not sure precisely what it is. Maybe that the mortifying scenarios that fuel anxiety dreams can prove inconsequential in real life. Or that everyone is too wrapped up in his or her own world to notice slight variations in your appearance or dress. Or that co-workers are observant but polite. Or that entitled millennialism will bite you in the butt: You must always ask before rifling through a family member's belongings. Maybe the lesson is that the modern woman's nightgown, a garment of increasingly beautiful construction, actually should take its part in the daily pageant of stylish office wear. It's just like a maxi dress, I told my friend when I heard of her goof!
But my friend's preferred takeaway is this: How you look really doesn't matter as much as you think.
Which is the main reason why I am telling you this story. For all the indications that we live in a style-obsessed culture, women should know that it is entirely possible to arrive at work in a nightgown and leave work in a nightgown and not die and have to be resuscitated by shamans somewhere in the middle.
So ladies, learn from this example! Wear whatever makes you feel productive, alluring and good, because, honestly, no one else is paying any attention.

Release Early, Release Often for Mobile Games
As I'm closing in on the launch of my first game, I've come across a million things that I wish I had more time to work on. My grand vision when I started this thing has turned into a race to the finish where I drop everything non-essential so I can get it out the door. Recently I'd been feeling discouraged, so I took a few moments to stop and get some perspective.
In everything I've learned about building web applications, "Release Early, Release Often" is the mantra. It's definitely better to get things out in front of your customers early so you can see how they want to use it and pivot. It's also easier to manage a release cycle that's a few days (or hours) long, rather than a six month project. For apps, especially those in hit-driven fields like games, this seems to make a little less sense. It's not like you can put out a half-baked first level and hope your customers will keep it around long enough to update when you get around to putting out level two or fixing your terrible control scheme. These types of apps typically only have one shot of attracting a user. The part I forgot about is that in a hit-driven field, you're banking on the fact that you're going to be releasing frequently. You're also relying on reusing technology, process, or marketing improvements that were factored into your current project.
If you go look through a timeline of releases from some of the top iOS game companies out there, their first games weren't 3D immersive techfests. Some of them weren't even all that fun! The key is that their next titles were usually more complex and better made. It's OK to put out a product that doesn't live up to your expectations, so long as you incorporate as much as possible into your next project.

I don't have the foggiest idea what's going on here - My machine has just today started totally freaking out - it will restart unexpectedly, and it is constantly giving me the MS "program xxx has encountered an error and must close" window for any number of programs (ATItool, CCC, System Restore, Firefox, all sorts of things), and then restarting again...this started after I tried to turn off the machine (via start menu) and it would just restart instead. I can't find any odd processes running, and I even defragged just yesterday. I tried safemode and ran Avast virusscan to look for viruses, and it even restarted then. I can't get through a scan w/o a restart. I'm totally perplexed - I build this system from scratch in January and this is the first and only thing that has gone awry that I haven't been able to pinpoint within minutes... any ideas? Hardware failure? It's currently up and running for ~ an hour w/o issues but I'm not at all convinced the gremlin has departed.
That could be a variety of things. First, check your SMART readout for your hard drive (everest or PCWizard will do), then run memtest, and then prime95.
well, it's now in constant restart mode - I can't get it to stay on long enough to try any of the above (on backup laptop atm LOL) on startup, the bios screen is showing all drives SMART capable and OK - I haven'it got everest installed on his machine, is there any other way to check? I don't recall seeing PCWizard on my HD either.. you think HD failure is a plausible cause?
ok - I ran memtest from safemode (I am using the version that runs in windows) and I get constant errors I'll try pulling the sticks one at a time, but I haven't got anything to replace them with as I just sold and sent off my old OCZ gold.... it's strange though - why would memory cause this sort of problem? And why now? THe stuff wasn't even really OCed, just tightened timings, it is Corsair Dominator 8500 btw
Was going to say before you ran memtest that it sounds like a memory problem to me, can you run at stock speeds, stock timings and stock voltages to see if that sorts it? Even try underclocking them with real loose timings. If it restarts in safe mode it shouldnt be a driver problem, that leaves corruption of Windows/registry, Memory, hard disk serious error or graphics card seriously dying or a northbridge/southbridge on it's way to the big chip graveyard in the sky, most likely to me memory or HDD though IMO.
they run 2.2-2.4v, I was running them @ 2.3 4-4-3-8 they passed memtest a month ago when I got them just fine... but back to the issue - NOW when I am running w/ one stick, my machine is stuff FUBAR - for one thing, my bookmarks in firefox are all gone, there is a big space at the bottom of my browser window, weird....
here's what I get - tell me if this is the wrong thing to be looking at... --------[ SMART ]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ ST3250824AS (9ND0AVYR) ] 01 Raw Read Error Rate 6 117 98 156056117 OK: Value is normal 03 Spin Up Time 0 90 90 0 OK: Always passing 04 Start/Stop Count 20 100 100 199 OK: Value is normal 05 Reallocated Sector Count 36 100 100 0 OK: Value is normal 07 Seek Error Rate 30 75 60 39271465 OK: Value is normal 09 Power-On Time Count 0 99 99 1300 OK: Always passing 0A Spin Retry Count 97 100 100 0 OK: Value is normal 0C Power Cycle Count 20 100 100 162 OK: Value is normal BB <vendor-specific> 0 100 100 0 OK: Always passing BD <vendor-specific> 0 100 100 0 OK: Always passing BE <vendor-specific> 45 65 63 606273571 OK: Value is normal C2 Temperature 0 35 40 35 OK: Always passing C3 Hardware ECC Recovered 0 72 56 63469076 OK: Always passing C5 Current Pending Sector Count 0 100 100 0 OK: Always passing C6 Off-Line Uncorrectable Sector Count 0 100 100 0 OK: Always passing C7 Ultra ATA CRC Error Rate 0 200 200 0 OK: Always passing C8 Write Error Rate 0 100 253 0 OK: Always passing CA <vendor-specific> 0 100 253 0 OK: Always passing
hmmm something crappy with windows, if you didn't do so already, backup!!! (i know i said that in my last post, but since we have no clue what's going on you don't want to take chances) is it possible you can make another partition on your disk and reinstall windows on that partition and see if it is the problem is the previous install? and about your post above, that looks fine...weird...
I could but that wouldn't really FIX my problem, nor identify it... backing up data though, a good idea. What's weird is that before pulling one of the RAM sticks, I couldn't run any programs...now I can, but some things just seem off. @Tatty - I did revert to stock speeds with no realy change
what things are off? oh and im asking about the new install b/c it may be a problem with windows itself
the things I mentioned above - firefox has lost my bookmarks, avast! is not starting up, i'll try some other apps once this stupid backup finishes lol
oh. im taking it you didn't remove the memory while the computer was running or something? have you run something like windows disk cleaner? or ccleaner's disk free?
If it does that with stock settings, I would say something in Windows is buggered - format time. Also if you havent already, set voltages \ timings manually to make sure the BIOS isnt setting any wrong parameters.
Yeah, it's really odd - the ram worked wonderfully for the last few months but just went haywire yesterday. I reset to stock volts/timings and the bad stick still does the restart thing so i'm going to try and RMA the kit. Working perfectly with one stick in now
Thats really odd a stick would go from fine to dead in one instant trasition. Usually there are signs I guess thats OCZ for you
Nothing surprises me anymore. If the ram jumped out of the computer and ate all his junk food, I wouldn't be shocked. Mine went from fine (no memtest errors) to totally non-functioning in about 5 seconds too...twice.
Actually, I just sold off my OCZ sticks and wish I hadn't - these were Corsair Dominator 8500s... I was only running them @ 810mhz but 4-4-3-8 timings OCZ support was pretty great in my experience - I'm still waiting for Corsair to reply to my RMA request
Did you use that automated RMA request they have? Get something with a tracking number when you ship it in, because sometimes they just forget that they received it. If they do that, they'll ask for a tracking number. Wait two business days after it arrives, and then call them and ask about the status of it. There's probably about a 25% chance that they don't even know they have it. I say call them, because if they don't know they have it, they'll never send it if you don't call them. That's what they did to me once.
