DETROIT - The federal corruption trial against former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and others will continue Thursday after a week off.
Before the holiday break, Kilpatrick's former assistant Marc Cunningham took the stand. He testified he gave cash kickbacks to Kilpatrick's father, Bernard Kilpatrick, who is among the defendants in the trial.

Cunningham also testified he led the FBI to Kilpatrick through a fake bribe. He agreed to testify against Kilpatrick for a lighter sentence.
The prosecution expects to wrap up its side of the case by the end of January.

This past Sunday we made sure to have plenty of corned beef on hand. Mrs. Chicken got things rolling with a 4-pound flat in the crock pot.
While I took a couple of flats (about 2-1/4 pounds each) and added fresh pepper and garlic powder.
I also picked up a small head of cabbage to put on the grill.
Unfortunately things didn't go quite as expected and I wound up getting the flats on the rotisserie late, although I did have enough time to get them mostly cooked. At least they looked good.
They definitely could've used another hour or more as the meat was a bit chewy, although the flavor was good. Thankfully all of us have our teeth because they came in handy, plus the flat was quite tender from having been in the crockpot all day.
The next night I cut up the leftovers into smaller pieces, put them in a casserole dish with potatoes and some leftover cabbage, and cooked it in the oven for 2 hours at 350 degrees. This time the meat was a lot more tender!

Knots So Easy
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca — January 2003
Some parts of the country (like mine) have a short boating season, and the time between seasons can feel like one endless night. One way to pass the long winter months and still stay connected to boating is to practice knot tying. If you have a PC, here's a CD-ROM that will give you step-by-step instructions on tying all the important knots.
"Knot Tying: The Basic Knots" from Beutner Multimedia costs $24.95 and provides details on how to make 21 boating-related knots. Demonstrated by author/project manager Capt. Dave Guldin, they include the bowline, anchor bend, sheep bend, alpine butterfly, and more. The CD is available directly from the manufacturer and even comes with a practice line.
Beutner Phone: (740) 597-1409. www.beutner.com.

Liriano roughed up as Bucs drop seventh straight
Southpaw's dominant stretch comes to end after nine-run outing
PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates' Most Valuable Player returned to a gracious ovation on Tuesday night. It was about the only cheering the PNC Park crowd did all night.
Andrew McCutchen returned from the disabled list, but it was more of the same for the Pirates, who were soundly beaten by the Braves, 11-3, stretching their losing streak to seven games. For the second night in a row, the Pirates never led. Francisco Liriano, meanwhile, had one of the worst starts of his season.
The weeklong skid matches the Bucs' longest streak since they dropped seven in a row from Sept. 7-14, 2012. At 64-62, Pittsburgh is just two games above .500 for the first time since June 23 (42-40).
"We've had situations where we haven't played a complete game, haven't finished games, especially the ones had late lead," manager Clint Hurdle said about his team's winless week. "This is all about the challenge of 162. It's up to us to get us turned back around."
Liriano gave up the most runs (nine) and earned runs (seven) he's allowed in 2014, starting with an RBI single by Braves pitcher Aaron Harang in the second. Liriano's night worsened with Justin Upton's three-run homer in the third and a Jason Heyward RBI single the following inning.
But it was the fifth frame that did in the lefty. The Braves -- who are trending in the opposite direction of the Pirates with five consecutive victories -- loaded the bases with an error, a single and a walk before recording an out. The next batter, B.J. Upton, sent a line drive off the left-field wall for a lengthy single that ended Liriano's night.
Three more Atlanta runners scored in the inning with reliever Brandon Cumpton on the mound, and when the dust settled, Liriano was charged with the nine runs on 10 hits and three walks in four-plus innings.
"I was missing my spot a lot and it was one of those nights where everything I was throwing was going to get hit," Liriano said. "They've been pretty hot the last couple games -- last night too. It was just one of those nights. ... Got to put it behind me and move forward."
Liriano left the field to groans among the 27,033 in attendance, as Tuesday marked the first time he has allowed more than two earned runs in a start during the second half of the season.
"We saw early, some complications came when he got in the stretch, throughout the outing," Hurdle said of Liriano. "Wasn't sharp, there were a lot of balls thigh high. They didn't bite on much of the chase stuff while he was out there. The command was challenging for him."
The 11 runs the Braves scored were the most any team has collected against the Pirates during the streak. The final one was a deafening solo homer from Evan Gattis, who hit the second level of the left-field rotunda. The final two Atlanta runs were charged to Cumpton, who did a favor to the rest of his bullpen mates by chewing up the last five innings.
Cumpton also provided one-third of the Pirates' offense with a run-scoring single in the fifth for his first career RBI. A Neil Walker RBI groundout in the fourth and Ike Davis' single in the ninth were the only other sources of offense for the Pirates.
McCutchen went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his first game since Aug. 3 after missing 14 games with a fractured rib, and he was not the only one kept in check by Harang. The 6-foot-7 righty came two outs short of a complete game, giving up three runs on nine hits. He struck out four and didn't walk a hitter while throwing 114 pitches.
"I felt like I was locating and getting ahead early," Harang said. "I wasn't getting deep into counts a lot and they were being aggressive. My guys were there to make plays for me."
The Brewers -- who host the Pirates for a three-game set this weekend -- won again Tuesday, pushing Pittsburgh seven games back in the National League Central, the team's largest deficit since July 1. The Pirates will get another injured star back Wednesday in Gerrit Cole, and while the clock is ticking, McCutchen noted there is still time left in the season.
"Get it out of the way now. That's the way I look at it," McCutchen said of the losing streak. "Get it out of the way now. We know it's time to pick it up, time to go. But as bad as we are doing, we're still kind of in the hunt of things. Just pick it up, get that second wind and get going."

Just trying to make sure, hard to see in daylight, was a lot easier the other night! I swapped leads around (those that stretched (a bit) to rule out bad leads. But being an old sparks, absolutly hate getting belts :( :( :( Is there anything I can wear that a spark won't zap me through??? Wish you could just push n pull leads willy nilly, be loads quicker ;) Have just tried to test straight off the top of the coil with the engine running (stop start, one by one) but think its going to be quicker and easier with all the leads off and a helper to crank over one evening. so still not 100% 0n 1&4 or 2&3. Completely see where your coming from with the sillyscope and wiring/plugs, ta! I'll get there eventually especially armed with your info :) You have been very helpful Dan, Thanks Buddy, Rich.
Excellent, Many thanks Dan. What should I be careful of if I wanted to pull the pack plug and crank her over? Surely I can use a crock clip in the pack plug and test swithing with my meeter between the 12v pin and one of the other two in turn?
Big Red Bus posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi, can anyone please tell me where my coil pack is fed from? My spark tester shows that I have two realy healthy sparks and two really weak sparks. I changed the pack and it's still the same. I noticed that there are three wires feeding the pack, how does the pack fire, should all sparks look the same or is it my tester, is one wire ground and the other two feeds or are they all feeds or one ground one a feed and the last a sensor/info wire? Is there a well known plug elsewhere that comes loose, a bad connection? Plug on the pack looks fine, what voltage should I have at the pack plug, how can I make a test at the feed side to the coil pack? Thanks, Rich.

Big Red Bus replied to Big Red Bus's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubMorning, Fantastic Stef. Thanks! Funny, I was going to try and work out what else that nozzle could have been for, as it was on my mind that it really wasn't the box oil that came out. I will have to look harder for that black hex head that is the fill and level point other members have mentioned in g/b topic. Why do the answers to my questions come on the morning its raining that cold wintery/icy rain, not wishing to sound ungrateful buddy ;) .

Big Red Bus posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi, I had to have a different gearbox fitted after only driving my 52plate 1.4 duratec for a week back in January. Found it's getting a bit rough/notchy again and noticed loads of oil leaking from the drivers side driveshaft seal. Have got a new seal to fit, am wondering if all I need to do is undo the clamp, lower the shaft (?by letting the nuckle drop?) and pull on the shaft to pop it out?????? Wishfull thinking, right!!! Will I have to undo anything on the strut? How do I drain my gearbox oil before I start? How do I top up my gearbox oil and to what level, when finishing? Actually I've just found a black plastic nozzle on the gearbox that a lil hose fits onto, I twisted it and clear oil came out. Smells a bit like break fluid. Thanks, Rich. :)

Big Red Bus posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi, I made it a weekly thing recently to dip my oil, check tyre presures and all other levels on a Friday morning. So, all I will need to do at the weekend is wash n hoover it, right :D !! If only!! I was bringing my boys home from footy after last Sundays match and stuck my foot down as we came up a bit of a climb. Not good, coughing and spluttering we were loosing power. I looked to see if we were low on petrol, maybe having sucked up some crud, nope, over half a tank remaining (afterall, I allways fill up so we do not suck up crud!). We nearly cut out a couple of times, then limped home. How come I had gotten so low on oil so quickly between checks and why had my oil warning light not come on? ok I may have missed a couple of Friday mornings but my warning lamp illuminates with all the others on start up! My airbag light came on while driving on the motorway the week before, could my lamps be crossed over or computer be confused.com? Anyhow we got home and I used some old cheap oil and the car sounded crap but lots better after a real good warm up. So this week I changed the oil, oil filter, air filter and spark plugs. The oil was a muddy brown colour not black??? Yes I can see metal flecks in it , no I can't see oil in my header tank. Which Ford oil should I have been supplied with? Is oil starvation a problem on these and where? Sounds like a bag of nails on start up untill warm :( Thanks, Rich.

Big Red Bus replied to katelyndon's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubSo glad the kid next door threw in his old haynes manual when he sold me his 52 plate 2.0l tdci. The brakes and hand break needed attention, all sorts of probs n lots of faults. tick over lumpy, would stall pulling away, amber flashing glo plug warning. So after reading lots of posts on here I gave it a service (engine) with all original ford parts n oil. Replaced cam and crankshaft sensors then fitted new/reconditioned rear calipers, new/paten hand break cables, old ones looked ok but were completly knackered and put in a "better than my old condition", from the breakers, hand break lever! Well tickovers loads better, she leaps forward when i let up on the clutch now and the hand break is well on in three clicks but 2's fine. I love pulling that break on now ;) it was just so crap before. I left my old disks and pads on as the kid next door changed them last year n looked ok. For me it was the best decision biting the bullet and changing the lot, yes it was cold n lonely out their but my Dad did it for us so we could go on holiday in a nice safe motor when we were kids, now I'm doing the same for ours. My girl's got good at helping bleed brakes (as I did too with my dad), still a bit stinggiee with break fluid only give a few pumps more, will try 12 from now on ;) Good luck, it's well worth it, patients and persiverance got me through. And the thought of happy safe affordable motoring of course once I'd finished :D

After dining at enough eateries in my life that have rude waiters and sub-par cuisine, I was wary to spend an evening at a restaurant featuring the word "Arrogant" in its name. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that The Arrogant Butcher dishes out just the right amount of attitude.
The newest of Sam Fox's creations, The Arrogant Butcher is located in the heart of Downtown Phoenix at CityScape. It's a hybrid of a neighborhood eatery and an upscale fine-dining venue. A chalkboard runs alongside one of the restaurant's walls, including a running "Straw Poll" for who will be Phoenix's next mayor. Combined with a full bar in the middle of the room and a television broadcasting sporting events, it makes the restaurant feel homey and perfect for co-workers looking for a place to spend happy hour.
In contrast, the dim lighting and quiet booths in another section of the restaurant, as well as private dining rooms toward the back encased in slightly transparent curtains, set an intimate atmosphere for those wishing to conduct an important business meeting. The restaurant also features a hard-to-miss open kitchen and a wait staff dressed in business casual, never forgetting to ooze the over-the-top confidence that is its namesake.
Refreshingly, despite its name, The Arrogant Butcher's wait staff is comprised of friendly servers who checked the table my dinner companions and I shared often and seemed genuinely concerned with whether we were satisfied with our meal. My dinner companions and I kicked off our meal with salumi and prosciutto appetizers served with house-made mustard and crusty bread, as well as a plate of marinated olives, grilled asparagus, roasted almonds and crescenza cheese. I ate a good portion of the salumi and prosciutto, intrigued by how well the zesty mustard and flavorful bread complemented both types of meats. Both the creamy crescenza cheese and juicy grilled asparagus were table favorites.
Before ordering our main courses, our table ordered two salads: one prepared with green apples, beets, arugula, pistachio and gorgonzola vinaigrette and one served with avocado, corn, white asparagus and crab cakes. Both salads met our high expectations. The apple and beet salad satisfied with its variety of flavors, and the savory crab cakes in the other salad were the ideal combination of soft, flaky bread and a warm, crab filling.
Despite how tasty our appetizers and salads were, the real treat came when our main courses were served. I ordered the crab-stuffed chicken served with spinach, caper berry and lemons. The blend of seafood flavoring and chicken crunch made for a very unique and enjoyable dish. My dinner companions ordered the bone-in dry aged ribeye, served with roasted mushrooms and shallots; the sweet potato tortelli, served with mushrooms, brussels and hazelnuts; and the special of the day, fried chicken and honey biscuits.
The ribeye was one of the best I've tried, very tender and flavorful. In fact, I normally eat mine with steak sauce, but the flavor on this one was so fine that none was needed. The table seemed to come to a consensus, though, that the two best dishes were the tortelli and the fried chicken. Now, I have never been a big fan of sweet potatoes, but the tortellis were divine. The subtly sweet and soft inside, served with nuts and mushrooms, was a refreshing change from the typical meat-filled tortelli to which I am accustomed. The fried chicken didn't want for surprises, either. With the first bite I was hooked. It was prepared in an interesting way with honey-infused skin, making it a slightly sweeter version of the American classic.
Following our main dishes, our table ordered the blueberry cheesecake and warm peanut butter cup desserts, per recommendation of the wait staff. As an avid dessert-eater with a keen sweet tooth, I was impressed. The creamy cheesecake was served in a medium-sized cup with a sweet graham cracker and tart blueberry topping. The peanut butter cup, though, was my personal favorite. The dish consisted of a scoop of chocolate gelato bathed in a warm peanut butter sauce and served with two chocolate peanut butter cookies. It was like having a Reese's peanut butter cup in melted form.
I would recommend this restaurant to professionals looking for a comfortable restaurant to conduct business, as well as to those visiting the US Airways Center or Chase Field who are looking for a nice place to take friends or loved ones before or after a downtown event.

first image cover photo has position relative and profile pic has position absolute..when scrolling the profile pic is above the menu bar ....
can anyone suggest me how to overcome the problem in 2nd image
Hi Princepranay,
Welcome to Sitepoint forums
To help you with this problem we'd need to see some code or perhaps a link to the problem.
Absolute elements are removed from the flow and therefore will overlap whatever is in the way so you should probably be using another method such as floating or containing the absolute child via position:relative on a parent. An absolute element is positioned in relation to the nearest ancestor that has a position defined other than static (i.e. relative or absolute (fixed elements are always placed in respect of the viewport)). If no such ancestor exists then the absolute element is placed in relation to the viewport.
However without seeing the structure of your page it will be hard to be specific. You most likely don't want to move the element with relative positioning either as it is not meant for structural layout as such but for more subtle effects.

"Featured Article"
on Wikiality.com
The Left Wing Madness was a pseudo-liberal, commie-fascist, terrorist movement initiated by a number of Stephen Colbert's enemies, including liberals, communists, hippies, Neil Young, French-Canadians, and bears. The deadly alliance's main objective was to instate a bear run gouvernment, or bearocracy, in the Canadian province of Manitoba. Luckily, the alliance was thwarted by Stephen's daring heroism during the Great Bear Incident of 2005 in which he used Kool-Aid to drug the bears, giving Manitobans a chance to overthrow the godless killing machines.
Origin and History Edit
Theorists believe that the Left Wing Madness was primarily orchestrated by Stephen's arch-nemisis Colbear as a preparatory step towards the Bear uprising of 2012. Colbear saw Manitoba, with its overwhelming bear-to-human ratio, as an ideal place to establish his headquarters.
He first sought the help of the Polar Bears, whose agnosticism made them easy to sway, while their tolerance to Manitoba's ridiculously low temperatures made them ideal ground troups during battle. The Polar Bears first infiltrated the town of Churchill in 1998 where they recruited bear-loving freaks and naive tourists into their ranks. They then moved into the forests where they were joined by French-Canadian lumberjacks.
Once the Left Wing Madness had been established, Colbear relinquished its care into the hands of mega-terrorist Winnie The Pooh who proceeded to infiltrate the capital city of Winnipeg and establish himself as dictator in 2001.
Tactis Used by The LWM Edit
The Left Wing Madness used several tactics, both military and otherwise, in order to attain power over Manitoba. Their main strategies were based on those used by Hitler during World War II, and included the use of pro-bear propaganda and the abuse of French people. Members of the movement were also known to use brutal torture against resisters, such as subjecting them to repeated old tapings of "The Daily Show." Members such as Winnie The Pooh were later charged with Crimes Against Humanity for having used such cruel tactics.
Stephen Colbert and The Great Bear Incident Edit
In 2005, Stephen Colbert began his brave and noble initiative to liberate Canada from the evil influences of liberals and bears. His show was broadcasted in Canada, enabling Stephen to warn Manitobans of the bears' evil tyranny and inform them on how to combat them. This inspired Manitoba residents with new hope and rekindled their balls so that they could take up arms against the godless killing machines.
The bears saw the threat that Stephen posed to their evil plans and sent hordes and legions of liberals and communists to destroy all traces of The Colbert Report in Manitoba. Stephen retaliated by summoning an army of ten-thousand eagles led by Dick Cheney in full hunting attire to combat the Left Wing Madness and shoot them in the face. However, the bears were still too powerful.
Finally, Stephen came up with the brilliant plan to use the communist poison known as Kool-Aid against the bears, causing them to see John Ashcroft everywher and subsequently die. Stephen cooly added to this outcome: "They got a taste of their own medicine... and it is deadly." Having lost the bears, the liberals proceeded to cut and run like the cowards they are.
The LWM today Edit
The Left Wing Madness is still alive to this day, anxiously awaiting the Bear Uprising of 2012 when they can exact their revenge upon Stephen Colbert. It is believed that they have taken refuge to the north, where they club baby seals and eat their brains for sustenance. Paul McCartney has attempted to stop this but his efforts are being thwarted by Canada's reemerging pro-bear, anti-seal doctrine.

Area basketball player picks Kansas
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 1:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 1:45 p.m.
Highly touted 2013 center Joel Embiid announced Tuesday that he's committing to Kansas.
Embiid, a three-star recruit who enrolled at the The Rock School in Gainesville last summer, had Florida in his final three with Kansas and Texas.
"It's bittersweet," The Rock coach Justin Harden said. "We would have loved for him to stay in Gainesville, but he's going to one of the top five programs in the country."
Harden said the 6-foot-11 Embiid made his decision over the weekend. He will sign his letter of intent Thursday in a ceremony at The Rock School.
"Billy (Donovan) and his staff did everything they could to try to get him," Harden said. "It was nothing that they didn't do. It came down to the last weekend. He just felt like Kansas was the best fit for him."
Florida has two commitments for the 2013 class — five-star point guard Kasey Hill (Montverde Academy) and five-star forward Chris Walker (Bonifay Holmes County). Both are expected to sign their letters of intent later this week.
Embiid is an exchange student from Cameroon who has been only playing basketball for 18 months. But coaches around the country have been impressed with his skills and his upside.
"I wouldn't say this is a case of (Kansas coach) Bill Self stealing a player from Florida's backyard," Harden said. "He's only been in Gainesville for a few months. So he has no real strong connection here."

HOUSTON - The parents of a teenage girl are suing Harris County and the Juvenile Probation Department over allegations that a corrections officer molested the girl while she was in the downtown detention center.
The suit claims the county lacked proper procedures and protocols to prevent this situation from occurring.
Last October, former juvenile corrections officer Robert Robinson was arrested and accused of trading candy in exchange for sexual favors with the 15-year-old while she was locked up in the detention center.
Investigators said Robinson would visit the teen's cell after lights out. Detectives said officials learned of the activities from Robinson's personal journal. Detectives said surveillance video from the detention center backed up the girl's claims.
Attorneys for the girl's family argue that Robinson was assigned to the "boy's" unit and should never have been allowed in the "girl's" unit of the detention center. The lawsuit claims had proper procedures and supervision been in place at the detention center, then this incident would not have happened.
The lawsuit further argues that Robinson was allowed to visit the girl's cell on several occasions and "groom" her for sexual contact.
A statement from the County Attorney's Office to Local 2 reads, "The Office of the County Attorney received a copy of the lawsuit today. We are reviewing the allegations and will respond to them."

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
It's becoming a holiday tradition in its own right: Consumers complain as marketers seem to start running Christmas-shopping ads earlier each year. So, when do consumers think it's appropriate for such advertising to make its debut? Polling for AdweekMedia, sister publication of Sales & Marketing Management among members of LinkedIn finds many respondents in no rush to see it.

 Just 8 percent of respondents said they think marketers should begin running such ads "after Labor day." A plurality, 42 percent, said "after Halloween" is appropriate, while 35 percent would rather marketers hold their fire until "after Thanksgiving." Then there were the 12 percent who wish marketers would "never" start to run Christmas-shopping ads. (For complete results of this poll, click here. And to participate in another ad-related LinkedIn poll for Adweek, click here.)

 Men were much more inclined than women to pick "never" as their response (14 percent vs. 5 percent) and were correspondingly less likely to pick Halloween as suitable starting date (41 percent vs. 49 percent).

 Respondents in the 55-plus age bracket were the most likely to say it'd be all right with them if such ads began after Labor Day, with 11 percent voicing that opinion. But they were also the most likely to say such advertising should begin until after Thanksgiving (47 percent). Forty-four percent of the poll's 18-24-year-olds and the same proportion of its 25-34as picked Halloween as an acceptable starting time.

 In a breakdown of the findings by job function, people in "engineer" roles were especially likely to say "never," with 28 percent doing so, vs. 6 percent of those in "marketing" roles and 7 percent of those in "sales" positions. Christmas ads are often viewed as an intrinsically uncreative chore for agency creative people, so maybe they're eager to get it over with: Half of the poll's "creative" respondents picked "after Labor Day" (5 percent) or "after Halloween" (45 percent. Then again, 15 percent chose "never."

 A number of participants in the poll added comments to their votes, with many of them deploring what they regard as a too-early start to the marketing onslaught. "If Christmas marketing begins too early it destroys the whole holiday—it stops being something to look forward too and becomes something we endure." Along the same lines: "The ads starting so early has the opposite effect on me as a consumer. I never buy the things that have been on ads for months. Please let us enjoy each holiday (Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving) in peace without the assault of Christmas advertising."

 Others, though, were more indulgent toward marketers. "I think you have to plant the seed sooner than later," wrote one. Another commenter, noting the importance of Black Friday (i.e., the day after Thanksgiving) to Christmas-gift marketers, said Thanksgiving would be too late a starting date for such ads and instead chose "after Halloween."

 Alluding to how bad last year's holiday-shopping season was, coming right after the financial meltdown in the fall, one commenter was willing to cut marketers some slack and see them "promote the message of the holidays a little earlier this year." Another had this helpful suggestion: "Why not start on 12/26 for the following year ... that's when all the sales are. Buy early for next year!"

 And one man was indifferent to when such ads start: "Truly does not matter to me. I am always shopping like a crazy something on Christmas Eve, ads do not play into my hurried decisions."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/8/2013 (1453 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Like father, like son. Michael Kurtas owes a lot of his investment acumen to his father.
"My dad is a really active investor with his money. He's always watching BNN and online checking out stock reports, tips and stuff like that."
So it's no surprise Kurtas took a shine to watching the markets at a young age.
"I would say I started thinking about investing around 15 or 16," says the 22-year-old business student at the University of Winnipeg.
"I'm kind of an analytical guy and choosing smart investments involves a lot of analysis."
According to a recent survey, Kurtas isn't an anomaly.
The average age for generation Y -- people born between 1980 and 2000 -- to purchase a first investment is age 20. In contrast, the boomer generation made their first investment by age 27, according to the TD Investor Insights Index.
Like Kurtas, a significant number (41 per cent) invested as a result of their parents' encouragement while about 36 per cent of boomers say their first investment was spurred by an increase in income.
Cynthia Caskey, vice-president and portfolio manager with TD Wealth Private Investment Advice, says it's a promising sign more Canadians are investing at an increasingly younger age.
"That's because they really have time on their side to save for their goals," she says.
They not only have more time to save, putting away as much money as possible. Their money also has more time to grow their investments.
For the conservative investor, who doesn't want to lose money, they can be happy to sock their money away in fixed-income investments such as bonds or GICs that provide an interest return on their money.
"It's the power of compounding interest," Caskey says. "When you have interest that is added to your investments, your interest then starts to earn interest."
But there's another advantage to starting early. Young investors can invest in riskier assets that may be volatile over the short term -- they go up and down in price -- but these assets are more likely to provide greater return than conservative investments over the long term.
"When you're young, you can look in volatility in a completely different light," she says.
With time, you can buy stocks or stock-based funds for the long haul. And the more consistently you invest over time, the better the results will likely be.
"Then you have what's called dollar-cost averaging working for you," she says.
"By having a regular investment plan, then you don't have to second-guess yourself. It's not like you're betting the farm at any given point in time."
Kurtas says he intends to follow a similar strategy, only it will be a collective effort. He and eight other schoolmates are starting an investment club.
"We're all graduating this year, and we thought we would pool our resources because individually, we don't have a lot of disposable income to buy Apple stock, for example, or anything with a higher share value," he says. "By pooling our resources, we can take advantage of economies of scale both in trading fees and also in being able to buy more substantial positions in companies."
With an education in business, Kurtas and his colleagues are already relatively further up the investment ladder than most people his age.
He admits investing can be a bit of an obsession.
"You could compare it to gambling. When you win, it makes you want to do more. When you lose, it sucks," he says. "It's almost entertainment. You get almost immediate feedback on your selection in terms of its performance."
For the uninitiated, however, investing might appear to be the opposite of entertainment, seeming more like difficult, bewildering homework than amusement.
"When you've had no introduction to it, it can be very intimidating," says Bob Stammers, director of investor education at the CFA Institute in New York.
That's why it's critical for parents to teach their children about the birds and the bees of investment.
"If they're not getting it from their parents, then they're really on their own to find different information sources," he says. "This is where it can be difficult, because if they're looking at investment products, problems can arise because there are lots of marketing messages out there that can convince investors to buy products that might not be suitable."
Like a lot of parents, Stammers helped his daughter buy her first investment -- Apple stock -- based on her interests.
"She chose it because she could touch and feel the product," he says. "But it was more of a learning experience than trying to turn a profit."
Following a stock on a daily basis, watching its price rise and fall, and understanding why its value changes over time provide a valuable learning experience -- regardless of whether the investment ultimately makes or loses money.
Kurtas says his dad helped him buy his first stock at age 17. But he says novices are best to start slowly with mutual funds available through their financial institution. They can invest small amounts -- $25 a month, for example -- and learn about investing at the same time without as much cost and less risk than purchasing individual stocks.
No matter how it's done, the take-home point is to invest as early and consistently as possible.
"If someone is continuously putting money away from when he or she was young, think about the amount of savings and the compounding return," says Stammers. "You don't need to earn a lot over a long period of time to amass a significant amount of money."
Although it's tough for young people to set aside the money when cash is hard to come by, the longer they wait, the more likely it is they'll be even more cash-crunched later in life, Caskey says.
"If you try to pour it on at the end, you may actually end up compromising your lifestyle quite significantly later in life just to come anywhere close to what you would have if you engrain it as your savings strategy early on."

"Other than slightly rearranging the text, we ordered these invitations as-is and they are really attractive! The paper is a perfect weight, not too heavy nor too flimsy and the texture of the paper adds a nice touch. We ordered Pocket Folds for our invitations to hold our RSVP & Details cards - which we do like but wish that they would have come in black (we went with the brown)."
"We just loved this invite design, simple, modern and masculine. Just the right amount of frill without it being sappy. Thanks Wedding Paper Divas for giving us guys some choices."
"Perfect invitation for our wedding... They are alittle smaller than I thought they would be, but that didn't detract from the invite... The perfect invite for us, even had the custom color available that we wanted"
"Your company made this process so EASY. I am 100% satisfied with the quality, design, and especially with the customer care shown by Wedding Paper Divas. I will happily recommend your company to everyone I know. Beautiful job!!"
"I would prefer a capital RSVP on top of the reply card. I liked it too, but I think it would be more suitable actually in blue hue."

WAYNE, Mich. - Franks Furniture Store has been a fixture in the community of Wayne for years.
When the store exploded in 2010 the community showed its support, but now the owner says it's time to retire.
Residents say the store will be missed by many. It's been almost two years since a gas explosion leveled Franks Furniture.
Two people lost their lives in that explosion and now the city is losing the store that some call an old friend.
"My husband is the youngest of 9 kids, we all have bedroom furniture from Franks Furniture," said Jennifer Geltzin "It's you know the staple here and where to get it from."
After the explosion the company moved to a warehouse down the street.
Monday the owner of the store, Paul Frank, who was badly burned in the explosion, said he is closing what little is left of his neighborhood icon.
At a near by business, Hennery's Service Center, a plaque still hangs in honor of the the four people who risked their own lives to save Paul after the explosion.
"I grew up on this town on this street and its taken a really big hit," said neighbor Liz Meyers.
Few communities can afford to lose another business and it is especial upsetting when the business is like an old friend.

Something "magic" about three, claims physicist, according to reports in Science Daily, and Nature, vol. 440, p289 and 315, 15 Mar 2006. A team of scientists led by Cheng Chin of University of Chicago have converted three ultra-cold caesium atoms into a new state of matter that was originally theorised to exist by a Russian physicist named Vitaly Efirmov in 1970. The new state of matter, named Efrimov state, needed three atoms to form. Two caesium atoms weakly repelled one another, but when three were put together they attracted one another and formed a stable state. As such, they behave like a Borromean ring. Chin explained: "This ring means that three objects are entangled. If you pick up any one of them, the other two will follow. However, if you cut one of them off, the other two will fall apart. There is something magic about this number of three."
Editorial Comment: Even in the obscure world of quantum physics, scientists cannot get away from the "three-ness" of the universe. It is not a coincidence that very fabric of reality consists of stable trinities imposed on a unity. This is exactly what you would predict from the Scripture that tells us (Romans 1:20) that the God of the Bible not only created, but has stamped his divine Triune nature (three in one), on the creation.
The same Scripture also tells us this is so obvious, that we are without excuse for not recognising it in the Universe where three primary colours are found in a three dimensional space in which you can't have any one dimension unless you have all three. Time is best described as past, present and future and again you must have all three, or you can't have any one. Even humble matter normally has three states that become one at the triple point. Now go look for many more trinities in this unity that reflects the Nature of a Creator God who is One, yet Three. (Ref. Trinity, particles, physics)

Are you, Alanzo, reissuing this, or did TIME? It looks like you are. Nothing wrong with that--I'm just trying to get the facts straight.
Apologies. I only saw the original date. Didn't lift my eyes up enough to the top of the screen.
"There is a Reality which is Indivisible, One, Alone, the Source and Being of all; not a thing, nor even a mind, but pure Spirit or clear Consciousness; and we are That and nothing but That, for That is our true Nature; and the only way to find It is to look steadily within, where are to be found utmost peace, unfading joy, and eternal life itself."

"The Labile Brain: Neuroplasticity Across the Lifespan," held March 7 and March 8, is the 25th Annual Symposium of the Central Virginia Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience. This year's program, co-sponsored by the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute, will include a series of talks on the plasticity of the nervous system at the intracellular, intercellular, and neuroanatomical levels. Speakers will explore how changes in the brain affect the organization of the nervous system and the consequent adaptive and maladaptive behaviors.
Three keynote speakers will be featured:
Darwin Berg, Ph.D., distinguished professor and chair of neurobiology at the University of California, San Diego, will speak on "Nicotinic Control of Neural Nets";
Marina Wolf, Ph.D., professor and chair of neuroscience at Chicago Medical School, will speak on "Plasticity of Group I mGluR-AMPAR Interactions in the Nucleus Accumbens During Cocaine Withdrawal: Basis for Anti-Craving Drugs?"; and
Alvaro Pascual-Leone, M.D., Ph.D., professor in neurology and associate dean for clinical and translational research at Harvard Medical School and director of the Berenson-Allen Center for Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, will speak on "Characterizing and Guiding Human Brain Plasticity and Network Dynamics."

This is the Korean version of Contract Killer: Zombies. Here's our original review in English for your convenience.
OK, there was a zombie outbreak and 365 Mb later you have to face the damned apocalypse within the span of your nose. Zombies is a complete twist from Contract Killer. Instead of hunting down criminals, you must save what's left of humanity by surviving in a plagued city. Shoot down zombies at the same time that you protect civilians. These will be often a burden and sometimes a help.
Additional points (and ammo save) can be obtained aiming for the classic and shooting at their forefronts. Link deaths in a string to make combos and gather every weapon you find here and there. Have in mind that if you don't use in-app purchases you'll always be a step behind the weapons needed -or at least recommended. Well, you may not buy anything and enjoy this ad-free awesome game for free, but expect an increasing overwhelming difficulty.
Although touch screen response and gameplay can be slightly improved, game's performance is awesome. There's even something we could call a plot and Evelyn, your sidekick, is quite...charismatic. We may ask for some kind of leaderboard or even -that will be achieve excellence- cooperative play.

Kick4Life currently runs a SMS campaign for HIV sensitization in Lesotho, using a shortcode (54321) provided by Vodacom. Users can text it for free.
We aim to move to FrontlineSMS, essentially to have more autonomy in the campaign, reduce manual treatments and also do statitics. The main challenge is to keep the shortcode and keep it free. The shortcode has already been advertised a lot, and the system requires an interaction of 4 or 5 SMS and we think it is really important to keep it free for users (youth in particular).
So to achieve this:
- Vodacom suggested to set up a VPN between them and us for that purpose. We then would have a local server with FrontlineSMS and a MySQL Database.
I don't really understand how it will work, but am a bit afraid for possible powercuts, internet cuts... and wonder what would happen with incoming messages
- I would be more comfortable if we could use a SMS gateway.
- Clickatell covers Lesotho, but says it will not be possible to keep the shortcode free for users
- IntelliSMS I am not sure... awaiting feedback
- It seems only Clickatell and IntelliSMS are supported with FSMS, is that right? Or does it make sense to search other providers?
I would be glad of possible hints, experiences and advice.

Hi Agnes
Thank you for posting about this. It sounds like an interesting project set-up. At present FrontlineSMS supports IntelliSMS and Clickatell; we are seeking to add more aggregators to the platform in future, but for now you're best focusing your investigation on those two. IntelliSMS may provide you with short code integration, but may also charge for it - they will be best placed to give you further information on this, though, so its great to hear your in contact with them.
Please keep us posted on how you get along, and let us know if you have further questions / need more information.
All the Best
Thanks Flo!
I already got a response from Intelliclci: unfortunately, they only offer shortcodes in the UK.
So it seems not possible to use a SM%S gateway with a shortcode.
I wonder if it would be possible with a modem and how...
Or with this VPN proposal from Vodacom, but then I wonder how..
Also, someone mentionned to me setting this on a server instead... but I dont think FrontlineSMS can be put on a server..?
Hi Agnes,
Short codes can be more difficult to use with FrontlineSMS that long codes, as we highlight in our FAQ here: http://www.frontlinesms.com/user-resources/help/what-is-the-differe...
At present, FrontlineSMS runs directly from your computer or laptop so you can't log directly into your system remotely. I hope this answers your question on the server point.
Sorry I can't be of more immediate help on this, but do keep us posted on how you get along with your research and let us know if you have further questions.
All the Best
It says "If you are interested in using short codes, we recommend you contact your local telecommunications service provider as the process is quite different and varies by country and provider. Setting up FrontlineSMS with a short code requires our software to be integrated with their API or messaging protocol."
Since Vodacom is woilling to help us on this, I guess we'll manage!
Hi Agnes,
That's great that Vodacom are willing to help your project out with this. Please do let us know how you get along, and feel free to ask if you need any further information.
All the Best
Hi Agnes
Just to say we could look at building an integration, if you had a bit of budget for coding? There are a couple of ways to do this. Message me if you'd like a chat.
Hi Laura
You mean integration with what?
Well, we are indeed looking at some build around
Most probably it ends up in a VPN, as Vodacom has suggested, into a machine that will have the programme on. Apparently it was only way to keep the sortcode and free SMS for users
HI everyone! I have a similar problem I have a shortcode here in Kenya that is common over four mobile providers, We want to use FLSMS to run surveys and a phone tree for security alerts. The SMS gateway provider has supplied me with the HTTP API, however they need a computer on our side with a static IP address. So two questions how can I get the API integrated with FLSMS and how can I avoid the whole static IP address issue?
Kind regards
Update! I have the API from the SMS gateway provider, I just need to know how to integrate it, do you set this up in HTTP trigger or how does it work? I cant find a documentation on this anywhere, I ' really need to have the system up and running for an important event. Please any one with advise contact me!!
Hi, Sorry I can't help you, in our case it is a computer company that will do...
Hi Neil,
Thanks so much for the update here. There's information on setting up a HTTP trigger in our help files here, but it sounds like you'd like to add a new online message service to synch with FrontlineSMS - is this correct?
I will check in with our developers to see if they can provide further help with this, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Hi Neil,
You'll need a Java developer to help you integrate with a new gateway. The best place to discuss this is on the developers mailing list at https://groups.google.com/group/frontlinesms-developers

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/1/2013 (1690 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
PENDLETON, Ore. -- Investigators in Oregon are trying to piece together the final moments before a Vancouver-bound tour bus carrying 47 people careened down a steep hillside, ejecting some of the passengers and killing nine.
Police said they expected investigators to complete an inspection of the bus and an inventory of personal property and documents on Tuesday.
Oregon State Police identified one of the nine victims as a 57-year-old Washington man. Authorities said Dale William Osborn of Spanaway was killed in Sunday's crash and his wife, Sue Osborn, remained hospitalized in Pendleton.
His daughter, Jennifer Sherman of Colorado Springs, Colo., said she was told her father was hit in the head by a rock while her mother was thrown into a river bed.
She last spoke to her father two weeks ago.
"He was very happy," Sherman said. "He's a very good man."
Authorities have not yet released the names of the other eight people who died, but police said the four men and four women were of Asian descent and one female victim may be a juvenile.
The bus was carrying tourists, including some who had been living in Canada, on the final leg of a nine-day tour of the western United States.
State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings said it could take a month or more to determine whether the driver, a 54-year-old man from Vancouver, will face any charges.
State police revised the number aboard the bus to 47 from 48 on Tuesday and confirmed 39 people were transported for treatment of injuries and at least 14 of them remained in hospital.
The Red Cross said some of the survivors were too terrified to get on another bus, so a nearby Ford dealer offered to drive them in smaller passenger vehicles. Some were expected to begin the trip today.
Hastings said Monday investigators were still trying to confirm the citizenship of the victims but a majority were of South Korean background and lived in British Columbia, Washington state, Oregon and even Idaho.
Police said Tuesday they were working with the Korean Consulate Office in Seattle to make positive identifications, next-of-kin notifications and property identification.
A list of the injured released by police named seven Canadian residents, including the driver, identified as Haeng Kyu Hwang.
The bus was travelling westbound in the left lane of Interstate 84 when it hit a concrete barrier, veered across both westbound lanes and went through the guardrail before plunging about 60 metres down the embankment, Hastings said. The National Transportation Safety Board said the bus rolled at least once.
When the tour bus came to a rest, terrified passengers looked for their loved ones.
"People screamed and yelled," said Jaemin Seo, a 23-year-old student from Suwon, South Korea, who has been studying in Vancouver. "Some mothers screamed to find their son or daughter."

Did you know?
Female African elephants can remain fertile until the age of around 60.
African elephants are the largest land animals in the world and it is only when you stand next to them that you realise just how enormous they really are. Animal lovers can have this experience by visiting the Knysna Elephant Park and taking one of their educational tours.
These beasts, which generally weigh more than four tons and stand up to 4m tall when fully grown, can live up to 70 years. These are just some of the facts you will pick up by visiting the Knysna Elephant Park, a sanctuary for those whose habitat has been lost due to human intervention.
At the Knysna Elephant Park, adventurers are also offered the opportunity of riding an elephant, an experience you are unlikely to forget.
Visitors going on a general elephant experience will be shown a video explaining all about elephants and how to safely interact with them. Safety tips include not getting between calves and their mothers, not startling the elephants, as well as not bending over in front of them, as they can misinterpret this as a challenge or threat.
Once the briefing is complete, explorers are taken in a four-wheel-drive vehicle to the elephants' feeding area in a big, open field. Here the elephants congregate behind a corrugated barrier where visitors can safely feed them.
There is also the opportunity to stand next to the elephants for photographs. The animals are tame and are used to being handled.
The guides at the Knysna Elephant Park are all friendly and knowledgeable, most of them having worked with elephants for several years.
The elephants eat up to 200kg of grass, trees and vegetation every day, even eating right through the night. Seeing the amount of branches laid out in the elephant enclosure for a midnight snack, is an experience on its own.

If you're like most Americans, you spend time on your smartphone or other electronic gadgets while in bed before actually going to sleep.
In fact, 95% of people report they regularly surf the internet, watch TV or text someone in the hour before going to sleep. Not only can that time spent on gadgets be distracting, but it can make falling asleep even harder once you close your eyes. This damage to your sleep cycle can lead to sleep loss that affects your mental awareness and physical well-being.
Here are some quick facts about Americans and technology that might make you think twice the next time you're thinking about getting into bed with your smartphone.
- More than 75% of Americans are connected to the internet with some type of mobile device.
- 1 in 3 smartphone users are willing to give up sex with their partners to keep their phones.
- In 18 to 29 year olds, 90% sleep with their phone in or right next to their bed.
- 1 in 4 do not put their phones on silent before getting into bed.
- 1 in 10 are woken up by phone calls, texts, or emails at least a few times a week.
- 50% will check their phone immediately if they wake up in the night for no reason.
- 63% of those who report using electronic gadgets before bed say their sleep needs are not met during the week.
- After just two hours of exposure to light emitted from electronic gadgets, melatonin is suppressed by 22%. (Melatonin is the hormone in your body that promotes sleep)
- 1 in 5 car accidents occur as a result of drowsy driving.
- 3 in 10 workers fall asleep at their desk at least once every month.
- The lifetime risk for a heart attack increases 50% in those who average less than 6 hours of sleep per night.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/8/2014 (1088 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WHITEMOUTH -- A year ago, it was such a feel-good story.
Eight rural landowners showed the old can-do spirit and raised $290,000, 80 per cent of it out of their own pockets, to rebuild a little bridge that would connect them to the town of Whitemouth again.
Council was for it. The people seemed all for it. The project was set to move ahead this spring.
Then a groundswell started to push the other way. In addition to the $290,000 raised, another $770,000 came from the federal Disaster Financial Assistance program for flood damage dating back to 2010.
But that still left the bridge, which would span the Whitemouth River on the east side of town, about $500,000 short. At least some portion of that would have to be paid with municipal tax dollars.
Some people started to balk. A group of seven, led by former reeve Glen Malkoske and including some of his former councillors and another former reeve, formed an opposition. They funded a mail-out to every ratepayer criticizing the bridge as an expensive vanity project for the benefit of the eight homeowners.
"The main thing is the bridge services eight homes. That's all. For us, it's certainly an issue of cost benefit," said Malkoske.
"These people have a more convenient route into Whitemouth. It takes about 10 minutes to take the route around. When compared to how far the rest of people are away from Whitemouth, it's not something that unduly inconveniences them."
People say the community, about 100 kilometres east of Winnipeg, is now divided.
The bridge isn't just about the eight landowners but the town's connection to the country, say townspeople who support the project. Whitemouth is bracketed on the west side by a busy Highway 44, which isn't conducive to cycling, hiking, or walking the dog -- things people used to do over the former Water Street Bridge when it was still up a decade ago.
For other people, the bridge provides a shortcut to work or to see friends. "I can't think of a community in Manitoba that's along a river that doesn't have a bridge," said Whitemouth chief administrator Laurie Kjartanson.
As well, the almost $300,000 in donated funds, and the almost $800,000 from the federal DFA, will be lost if the bridge reconstruction is killed, say bridge proponents.
Malkoske admits that may be the case, but he has never seen anything in writing to that effect. He doesn't believe the DFA money should be spent on the bridge. Malkoske accuses council of misleading the Emergency Measures Organization into letting it to use DFA money on the bridge. Malkoske has filed a complaint to the provincial ombudsman on the issue. He is still awaiting the ombudsman's response.
The DFA money was intended for a spot of gravel road that slumped on the north end of Rice Road in the 2010 flood. An engineer's report said it would cost $1 million to stabilize. But the engineer couldn't guarantee it wouldn't slump again.
So council just patched and widened the road there and diverted the DFA money to the bridge at the south end of Rice Road. Reopening the bridge would help lessen traffic on the repaired road slide.
"We didn't mislead DFA or EMO. These are smart gentlemen who deal with flood mitigation throughout the province. We couldn't mislead them," Kjartanson said.
You might think the controversy has made Whitemouth's council jittery, especially heading into a municipal election year. Not at all. This week it unanimously passed a motion to press ahead with the bridge, contingent on getting some money from the annual $2-million provincial bridgework fund, which is managed by the Association of Manitoba Municipalities.
The council has been applying to the fund for three years, and is optimistic it will receive some funding this year.
That, along with some money in reserve, may allow the bridge to be built without even borrowing money, said Reeve Allan Kropelnicki. It will result in no tax increase, he promised.

One of three people shot Thursday night in the 2300 block of Georgia Street has died, Baton Rouge police said Friday.
Christopher Fountain, 29, 1704 South Blvd., was pronounced dead at a hospital Friday, police Cpl. L'Jean McKneely said. The other two men — whose identities are not being released because the assailant or assailants are still at large — are in stable condition, he said.
Police believe Fountain and a 47-year-old man were involved in the shooting in the 2300 block of Georgia, but ran away, McKneely said. They were found in a car in the 900 block of East Washington, he said.
Fountain suffered multiple shots to the torso, McKneely said. The 47-year-old man had been shot in the lower portion of his body, he said.
The third man who was shot, an 18-year-old, was found shot in the lower part of his body in the immediate area of the 2300 block of Georgia, McKneely said.
The man was not in a vehicle when police found him, McKneely said.
Police initially said another car believed to be involved in the shooting was found at the intersection of Thomas Delpit Drive and Buchanan Street, but McKneely said police now do not think it was involved.
The multiple shootings occurred at 9:20 p.m. Thursday, and the three people were taken to hospitals after police found them wounded, police Lt. Don Kelly said Thursday night.
Police do not have a motive for the shootings and McKneely said he was unsure of the relationship between Fountain and the 47-year-old.
The investigation is continuing and anyone with information is urged to contact police at (225) 389-4869 or Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-7867.

Every fall, the island of Martha's Vineyard is seized by fish fever as one of the East Coast's best known saltwater fishing tournaments gets underway.
Started in 1946 as a promotional event and run since 1987 by a non-profit organization composed largely of local fishermen, the Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby attracts anglers from all over the world. The 71st annual derby concluded on Oct. 15. See highlights of derby history at the Vineyard Gazette's Time Machine.
Fishermen vie for awards and bragging rights for the biggest catch caught from the shore or from a boat. In addition to the striped bass and bluefish, the tournament covers bonito and false albacore. Anglers under 15 compete in the junior division.
Crowds gather twice a day at the weigh-in shack by the Edgartown Yacht Club as the daily and weekly leaderboards are updated. At the end of the tournament, the top fishermen in eight divisions have a chance at grand prizes, including a truck and a boat.
A true community event, the derby sponsors a program that provides fish to the Island's elderly population and each year provides four-year college scholarships to Island youth.
For more information about the derby, go to mvderby.com.

Dresses by (clockwise from top left): Monique Lhuillier, Jim Hjelm Occasions, Alfred Angelo, Amsale
Photos by Dan Lecca
Dressing your bridesmaids (and maintaining your friendships) isn't always the easiest process. We recommend selecting styles that are flattering, looks that your girls can easily wear again. We've gone ahead and selected our favorite brand-new bridesmaid dresses that totally fit the bill. We're particularly fans of the four styles pictured above, which we think any bridesmaid would be thrilled to wear to your wedding and beyond.
We love the floral Monique Lhuillier dress – patterned bridesmaid dresses are just so chic right now. And after the wedding, your 'maids could absolutely wear this to a baby shower or Mother's Day brunch.
As for the bright colorblocked Jim Hjelm Occasions dress, couldn't you just imagine it looking smashing at a beach wedding – or a summer barbecue or date night after the fact?
As soon as the black sequined Alfred Angelo style came down the runway, we immediately thought "New Year's Eve wedding!" But really, this style would work at any super-glam, bling-tastic affair. Afterwards, your bridesmaids could wear this dress for a night on the town.
And the Amsale gown, with its modern one-shoulder neckline, is the most versatile of the bunch. We could picture it at a garden wedding, in a more formal ballroom setting, even on the beach!
What do you think of these styles? Which new bridesmaid dress do you think your 'maids would love to wear? Let us know in the comments!

It seemed too good to be true, a couple of Aussie country singers beating the pop world's most brilliant egotist to the top spot in the Australian album charts. And it was.
The correction of an error made while counting sales to compile the weekly ARIA charts has seen Kanye West's much-hyped Yeezus overtake Troy Cassar-Daley and Adam Harvey's album of covers, The Great County Songbook, to become the number one album - although the reverse was the case as late as midday today.
ARIA announced on Saturday that Cassar-Daley and Harvey had the number one spot but around 1pm today whispers of a major change began filtering through, then ARIA tweeted that "a re-calculation was necessary" and pointed to a short statement on its website, which confirmed the switch: "This has resulted in a change to the top of the chart, with Kanye West moving to the No.1 spot with the album Yeezus, and The Great Country Songbook (Troy Cassar-Daley and Adam Harvey) to No.2. The Great Country Songbook remains at the top of both the Country Albums chart and Australian Albums chart."
ARIA's CEO Dan Rosen issued a further statement to Fairfax which indicated the sales count for Cassar-Daley's and Harvey's album was overstated by mistake. "The issue experienced in Friday's calculation was due to a data classification error, whereby a small number of sales that were initially considered eligible, were later found to be ineligible for chart calculation purposes.
"This more detailed information only became available to ARIA, after the initial publication of the charts. Given the very close race for the No.1 position this week, this was enough to impact the result at the top of the chart."
It seems unlikely West would even know of the change, but either way, it's an extra and unexpected win for the new father, whose partner, Kim Kardashian gave birth to a daughter last week, later named North.
"ARIA takes the calculation of the weekly charts very seriously, and aims to provide the most accurate information to both industry and fans alike. On the rare occasion an error is made, we move as quickly as possible to have it rectified. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused."
The "data error" did not however affect the positions of any other albums in the top 50.
Meanwhile Kanye has been branded ''ignorant'' for including lyrics about Parkinson's disease on his new album. In the song On Sight, Kanye appears to use Parkinson's disease as a punch line, and the insensitive move has attracted anger from the American Parkinson Disease Association.
The track features the line, ''A monster about to come alive again / Soon as I pull up and park the Benz / We get this bitch shaking like Parkinson's.''
Kathryn Whitford, who is vice president of the American Parkinson Disease Association, has slammed Kanye's choice of words. ''We find these lyrics distasteful and the product of obvious ignorance,'' she told TMZ.
Kanye has yet to respond to the controversy.

On September 18, 1982, the USS Portsmouth was launched at the Electric Boat Shipyard in Groton, Connecticut. A Los Angeles-class submarine, it had a length of 360 feet, measured 33 feet across the beam and weighed 6,000 tons. Impressive numbers, but on the inside it was an absolute mess. It was launched during its new construction phase, before it even had a full crew. The spaces down below were crammed with equipment to support the hundreds of welders, grinders, laggers and pipefitters who were building the boat. The crew at the time consisted mostly of nukes working out of a nearby barge. It was a war-vintage pile of junk that was nevertheless preferable to the noisy, grimy atmosphere that permeated the Portsmouth. Construction was finished during the next 9 months and in July 1983 the boat was put to sea for the first time with a lot of Navy top brass on board. The first dive was interrupted by a flooding emergency, which turned out to be the relief valve on Aux Tank 3. The packing on a freshwater pump later burned up, giving 15 or so officers the occasion to stand around and talk about it for a while. Other than that, things went smoothly.
The boat was commissioned on October 1, 1983, in its namesake city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Technically Portsmouth, Virginia, was also a namesake city and the boat did pay a port-call there, but the southern namesake never displayed the same enthusiasm as the northern namesake did. Three weeks later, the 707 happened to be on hand to support American military intervention in Grenada. The crew was awarded a medal for this service and a port-call in sunny St. Croix. Our luck ran out the next year when a scheduled port-call in Curacoa was canceled due to some fat cruise liner stealing our place at the pier. We sailed through Panama, raced down to the equator for a shellback initiation and arrived in our new homeport of San Diego in October 1984. Nine months later the Portsmouth set sail for its first full deployment in the Pacific. First stop was Hawaii, followed by a steamy week in Japan, another in the Philippines (really steamy) and last calls in Guam and Diego Garcia before a two-month patrol began in the Indian Ocean. The deployment was pretty routine. There were a lot of drills; some were fun ("Torpedo in the water!"), others not ("Fire, fire in the engine room!"). We played a lot of cards, critiqued a lot of films and ate a lot of powdered food. The underwater newspaper, the Blast, was in full circulation, much to the displeasure of the fat boys' club. After 58 days, we returned to Diego Garcia to make some phone calls, receive mail and eat real potatoes. We spent Christmas in Perth, Australia, where the temperature was in the 80s and the dinner was fried shrimp. New Year's found us steaming in the harbor of Suva, Fiji, and two weeks later we arrived in San Diego.
Thus began a long and distinguished cycle of patrols that lasted until the summer of 2004. The reactor core by then was spent but the money needed to refuel it was also spent, presumably on other military ventures abroad. And so the Portsmouth set off on its final voyage, sailing back through the Panama Canal nearly 20 years to the date after first steaming through, and docking in Norfolk for an inactivation ceremony lorded over by a former captain since promoted to admiral. From there she sailed to the shipyard in nearby Portsmouth and memory. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
