Dubai is a fun and frivolous playground on the Persian Gulf, but don't consider it the Vegas of the Middle East. Many a foreigner has been thrown in jail for unwittingly committing an offense.
So here are 12 things not to do when in Dubai.
Number 1;
Don't do Drugs.
Dubai has zero tolerance towards possession, use and selling of drugs. Even prescription drugs may be considered contraband.
Don't Drink in Public.
Go easy on that all-you-can-drink champagne brunch, nightclub or bar binge.
No Nudity.
Women must refrain from going topless at the beach. And even men should cover-up, when walking through the streets.
No Song and Dance.
Don't play loud music or dance in the streets. Resist the urge until you're on an official dance floor.
No Kissing in Public.
A British couple was jailed for having sex on a beach, but even kissing can get you in trouble.
Watch your Tongue.
Avoid cussing and blasphemous remarks against Islam. Many foreigners have been jailed for making an off-the-cuff comment.
Keep Style Sensible.
Dubai is a stylish cosmopolitan city but there has been a recent crackdown on women wearing tight, short, skimpy, or suggestive clothing.
Watch your Photography.
It is considered rude and intrusive to snap shots of people, especially women, without expressed permission.
Watch Your Wallet.
Dubai has a low crime rate and one tends to get complacent but petty crime does happen here, as everywhere.
Keep Your Gay Views on the Quiet.
Any sexual relations outside of a traditional marriage is considered a crime in Dubai.
Don't Eat in Public During Ramadan.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in public while Muslims are fasting. Even chewing gum is disrespectful.
And number 12.
Don't Use Your Left Hand!
The left hand is traditionally used for "body hygiene" in Muslim cultures, so don't greet anyone with a left handed shake, open doors and above all, don't hand somebody food, with your left hand.
Now you can enjoy your stay in one of the World's most influential cities.

Flightcell International has successfully integrated the Flightcell DZMx and medical monitors, enabling 12-lead ECG data to be sent from an aircraft in-flight. Both the Zoll X Series and the LifePak 15 have been validated with the help of Zoll New Zealand and GCH Aviation.
Flightcell and its technology partners are excited about the benefits of this technological advancement: "Our customers can now send ECG data to the ED ahead of their arrival, giving staff more time to mobilise and prepare", says John Wyllie, CEO, Flightcell. This potentially lifesaving technology is achieved using cellular broadband data and a Wi-Fi or Ethernet internet connection to access Zoll online account and LifePak LIFENET systems. It's not just limited to Zoll X Series & LifePak 15, it will operate with any medical monitor/defibrillator that can transmit data via WiFi to a hotspot gateway.
"It's going to be of real benefit to the patient transmitting ECG data earlier. It's also going to reduce our workload upon arrival."

Wealth Effect R.I.P.?
So the Fed is pinning its hopes on stimulating the economy via the wealth effect again, as it did when it revived the post-tech-wreck asset bubble in housing and credit in that now infamous 2003-07 period of radical excess. But here's the rub. While there is a wealth effect on spending, the correlation going back to 1952 is only 57%. But the correlation between spending and after-tax personal incomes is more like 75%. The impact is leagues apart. And that is the problem here, as we saw real disposable personal income decline 0.3% in August for the largest setback of the year. The QE2 trend of 1.7% is about half the 3.2% trend that was in place at the time of 0E2. Not only that, but the personal savings rate is too low to kick-start spending, even if the Fed is successful in generating significant asset price inflation. The savings rate now is at a mere 3.7%, whereas it was 6% at the time of QE1 back in 2009 and over 5% at the time of QE2 2010 — in other words, there is less pent-up demand right now and a much greater need to rebuild rather than draw down the personal savings rate. This is a key obstacle even in the face of higher net worth.
What is fascinating is that the rise in net worth looks fairly tenuous. Yes, home prices have risen on the back of tighter supplies but the builders have ramped up production by nearly 30% over the past year. And the first-time buyer is dormant, which means that the key source of demand in the food chain is still missing, and investor-based buying will only go so far in terms of sustaining any further home price appreciation.
But it is the action in the equity market that is most telling. This is the first time after any major central bank incursion — QE1, QE2, Operation Twist and LTRO — that 13 (trading) days after the announcement, the stock market is lower. The S&P 500 has dropped 1% since the day of the Fed meeting whereas it was up an average of 4% at this juncture following the other four announcements. I had said earlier that the Fed has likely established a firm floor but it looks clear that the more ominous global economic backdrop has also established a ceiling — I mean, weren't the lagging hedge funds supposed to have been piling in by now? And all of the cyclical sectors are lower which again is highly atypical—all down around 2%. And if there was a group that the Fed was really trying to support it was the Financials and this sector is down 3% along with basic materials. Go figure. The more defensive areas like Health care, Utilities and staples have outperformed, which is very rare after a QE announcement out of the Fed.
At the same time, the yield on the 10-year T-note. which is usually steady around this time following a post-QE announcement, has fallen more than 10 basis points this time around. The TSX has turned in a similar though less dramatic swing this time - Financials and Materials, which had cheapened up far more going into this than their U.S. counterparts, have actually hung in, as has the overall Canadian market (though to be fair, it is usually up 2% by now).
As the accompanied charts illustrate, one obstacle for the equity market of late has been sentiment and positioning. The Market Vane Bullishness index is at the high end of the range and as the latest CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) data indicate, the net speculative long positions on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq on the CME have already surged to record high levels. In other words, a lot of the buying power that pundits were expecting has already been exhauisted.
The pace of economic activity is weakening, with all deference to ISM. With profits faltering and wage earnings slowing down, we have a situation where Gross Domestic Income softened to a mere 1.7% annual rate in Q2 from 6.1% in Q1 and 4.6% in Q4 of last year. This was the weakest performance since the third quarter of 2009 just as the worst recession in seven decades was ebbing. In real terms, GDI actually stagnated — up a mere 0.16% annual rate, a buzz-cut from the 3.8% pace in Q1 and 4.5% in Q4, again the weakest tally since Q3 last year and the second weakest since Q2 2009. This puts the GDP slowdown in Q2 into perspective. GDP is all about spending. GDI is all about income. And it is income that drives confidence, spending, and ultimately prosperity — not the other way around.

Lewin, Kurt (1890-1947), a German-born American psychologist, developed the field theory of behavior and helped found modern experimental social psychology.
Kurt Zadek Lewin was born Sept. 9, 1890, in Mogilno, Prussia (now in Poland), the son of a Jewish shopkeeper. At 15, Lewin moved with his family to Berlin. After graduating from the gymnasium (preparatory school) there, he studied at the universities of Freiburg and Munich before enrolling at the University of Berlin. There he explored philosophy and the method of science. He completed a doctorate while working at the University's Psychological Institute. His service in the German Army during World War I (1914–1918) led to his paper suggesting that the same objects were perceived differently during peacetime than during wartime. This publication was his first venture into what Lewin later called "life space." According to Lewin's field theory of behavior, human behavior can be understood and predicted only by examining how a person experiences a given environment, or "field." His equation, Bf(PE), summarizes his belief that behavior is a function of the person and the environment.
Following the war, Lewin returned to the Psychological Institute, where he rose to the highest faculty rank possible and attracted talented international students. His work, particularly as it applied to child psychology, became known in America. In 1933, after Hitler's rise to power, Lewin left Germany for the United States and became a U.S. citizen in 1940. Lewin's American research focused on group dynamics as he broadened his field theory beyond individual psychology to include the effects of groups on their members' behavior. His studies led Lewin to conclude that small groups operated most successfully when they were democratically conducted.
Although he died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 57, Lewin played a significant role in shaping contemporary psychology. Lewin's field theory still influences such fields as business management, social reform, communication, and education.

I think one of the things that has held me back from creating a blog is trying to decide what kind of blog it would be. Basically, what interest would I focus on? And I just couldn't answer that because my interests are always changing. I'll be into one thing for a little while, then get totally distracted by a new interest, get into that, then maybe find a new one, or return to the first one. I rarely stop doing things because I'm bored of them. Rather I just get excited by something new (you know, "Squirrel!" moments) and it takes a while before I'm back on it. So how was I going to maintain a blog on one topic?
Well, I wasn't. So instead this blog is going to be about all of them. All the things that grab my interest. This isn't going to be the place to come if you want to become an expert in something (because I'm not even close to an expert in any of these things). But maybe you are like me and want to come along as I learn about and try to do things I know very little about. And maybe you'll find my site because we share an interest in one thing and you'll end up trying other things that you hadn't even thought of. That's my hope anyway.
I do want to try to organize these adventures and hobbies a little though so I've come up with six main categories to start with and thought I would give a little intro to each. Maybe one will peak your interest!
Sewing and Other Textile Arts
I truly have had basically no sewing experience. Before starting this blog, the last thing I made with a pattern from start to finish was a skirt when I was in grade 11, and I hated it enough to swear off it for another two decades. When my son was born, I ventured to make curtains for his room, because I thought, how hard would sewing four straight lines be? They didn't start out actually awful, but since I had to then retrofit blackout material on to them, it got pretty messy. But thank goodness for the internet because there are now beautiful souls offering free tutorials on sewing fun, easy, useful, and cheap items all moms can use (think leggings for the kiddos (a wallet-saver in the potty-training years), beanies, pillow covers, etc.) that are actually doable. Even for me! Check out my curated list of tutorials here!
Plant-Based Eating
So another thing happened this year…I gave up eating meat. Now, I spent a year in my early 20's as a vegetarian after reading half of a PETA pamphlet, throwing it down on the coffee table, tears streaming from my eyes, and declaring to my boyfriend (who is now my husband) that I couldn't possibly ever eat meat again. Well, I didn't really miss meat, but it turns out that I'm sensitive to soy in large quantities and that was basically all I was eating for protein. Once I realized this I said to myself, "Well there's no way I can live on chick peas and lentils for the rest of my life" and I switched back. Fast forward another decade and a half, and I've been unable to ignore the mounting evidence that maybe eating meat and meat products isn't actually all that good for our bodies. So in April of 2017, I decided to try to be as plant-based as I can. I haven't eaten meat since then, and I've been limiting my dairy and egg consumption. And you know what's happened? I've fallen in love with the food I've been eating. There are so many amazing options now (it is not just chick peas and lentils, although there are wonderful ways to prepare them too) and they're easy, quick, cheap, and don't need any special ingredients (like what is xanthum gum anyway?). I'm dedicating this section of the blog to the delicious recipes that I've found on the web. If you even want to experiment with plant-based eating once a week, this is the place to check out!
Oh, and I've also gotten into growing my own food (see pic above) so my diy home farm tips will likely go here too, until they grow so big that they need their own section of course…
Furniture Building
I'm actually serious. You can do it. I can do it, so you can. The last formal training I had in woodworking was in grade six, and I can't even remember what we made but it involved a router. Or maybe it was a jigsaw? No idea.
Enter: the kreg jig. I will explain what this thing is, but seriously, it's a game changer. It pretty much makes creating your own furniture as easy as assembling Ikea stuff. Maybe easier, and a whole lot more fun.
I'll post pics of the projects I do and where I got the instructions from. If you like Farmhouse Rustic decor, I've got your list of projects to try!
Health Growth and Wellness
This is the section I'll provide the cool tidbits of info on wellness, both from my psychology practice and my life. This will be a place to find out about ways to ease anxiety, sadness, self-doubt, anger, etc., while cultivating self-compassion, self-love, and kindness. There will be lots on meditation, what's normal human experience (I'll bet a lot of what you think is really weird about you is actually experienced by most of us), and alternative treatments (acupressure, essential oils, etc.). Basically this may end up being a hodgepodge section full of things that I find interesting and useful when it comes to feeling good.
Fashion and Decor
I'm no fashionista by any means or an interior designer, but I definitely know what I like and I love to get what I can in the cheapest way possible, whether that's through awesome sales or DIY. And I'm in Canada so if you're Canadian, you can rest assured that whatever I recommend is actually getable here!
Fair warning, I love Canadiana, both in fashion and decor, so that will be a strong theme.
Family and Parenting
Last but certainly not least, I am a mother of two and I know for sure there are other mothers out there who would benefit from not having to reinvent the wheel every time they're faced with a parenting question mark. I'm certainly one of those mothers and I love reading other mom's blogs who give me advice about great products to try, toys to buy, clothing companies to check out, etc. So I'll return the favour here.
Okay…so now to fill in each of these categories. So much fun, so little time!

Want to know if you live in the "blast zone" of an oil train explosion?
Or curious if your favourite Canadian landmark could be torched by a massive rail derailment carrying crude?
A new interactive map created by ForestEthics -- using Google mapping capabilities together with railroad industry data for the first time -- charts the routes of oil trains across the U.S. and Canada.
Based on an analysis of U.S. census data, the group, based in San Francisco, estimates that more than25 million Americans live within the "blast zone" of an oil train accident.
ForestEthics didn't crunch census numbers in Canada, but the map includes major oil-by-rail routes across the country and allows Canadians to plug in their address or zero in on their favourite stomping ground to see if it's within the one mile blast zone.
Before looking up your address on the Oil Train Blast Zone Map, here are some key facts:
- Canada's rail lines went from carrying 500 carloads of oil in 2009 to an estimated 140,000 carloads in 2013 -- a staggering 28,000% increase. The number continues to climb as the oil industry presses ahead with plans to more than double the amount of oil moving out of Western Canada (mostly Alberta's tar sands) over the next two decades, to 6.7 million barrels a day by 2030.
- A lot of the crude is being transported in old tank cars widely recognized as substandard. Almost80,000 substandard DOT-111 tank cars carrying flammable liquids are rumbling down North American tracks, now the focus of attention of regulators and industry after old tank cars carrying highly explosive Bakken oil were involved in the deadly rail blast in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, last July. Forty-seven people died.
- Rail accidents involving dangerous goods are on the rise one year after the Lac-Mégantic disaster, but good luck getting details about highly explosive oil moving through your town in old tank cars.
- Last November, Transport Canada issued an emergency directive requiring railroads to provide municipalities with quarterly reports about the dangerous goods, including highly explosive crude Bakken, moving through their cities. The information, though, is considered confidential for the use of emergency first responders in case of spills, and cities aren't permitted to release the data to the public.
- Transport Minister Lisa Raitt confirmed last month that the government has no plans to let the public see the info.
Thanks to mapping by ForestEthics, here are 11 Canadian landmarks within the potential oil train blast zones.
The red zone is the 0.5 mile (or 800 metres) evacuation zone for oil train derailments and the yellow zone is the 1 mile (or 1,600 metres) evacuation zone if there's a fire or explosion; these zones were established jointly by the US Department of Transportation and Transport Canada.
1. CN Tower and Skydome, Toronto, Ontario
2. Olympic Cauldron and Canada Place, Vancouver, BC
3. Hockey Hall of Fame, Toronto, Ontario
4. Calgary Stampede grounds, Calgary, Alberta
5. Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field, Regina, Saskatchewan
6. Bell Centre, Montreal, Quebec
7. Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Winnipeg, Manitoba
8. Hartland Covered Bridge, Hartland, New Brunswick
9. Monument of the Springbank Snow Countess, Woodstock, Ontario
10. Historic Fort York, Toronto, Ontario
11. The resting place of Sir John A. MacDonald, Kingston, Ontario

We are incredibly honored to work with some incredibly committed, talented, and successful athletes. We are excited to share their stories with you.
Meet Robbie W., Denver based triathlete.
Follow him on Instagram
How long have you been competing in triathlons?
I started racing Triathlon in 2008, and didn't know how to swim when I signed up for my first one.
What does your training schedule look like this time of year?
Right now I've started to get more specific with my workouts and focus on race pace efforts, I typically swim 5 days a week, bike 5 times and run 5 times along with 1-2 strength/core workouts each week.
What training / lifestyle tips would you give to someone who is also training?
I would say #1 – Set goals and use fitness benchmarks to check your progress. #2 – Join a Team or train with group or friend(s) #3 – Be consistent, but don't be afraid to listen to your body.
What does a "cheat" or "lazy" day look like for you?
Lots of food. It's important sometimes to eat and enjoy. If your body is telling you it needs fuel then fill up the tank. I will eat big burgers with fries and ice cream, also anything that is around me! But guess what? I feel great the next day and re-fueled.
How do you balance work, family/friends, and training?
I sometimes ask myself that question! I just don't watch TV and get up early. I also try to include my family and friends in my training.
What's a go-to snack or meal you love?
Tea and Toast with Irish butter.
How does ASSM affect your training and performance?
Knowing that I have the support of a world class team to help me when my body needs work is important. Dr Ben got me back to health in no time and is very kind to help you reach your goals. He understands so many aspects of movement and sports. He is always learning which gives me confidence to work with him and his team.
What advice would you give to someone looking to get into triathlons/ironmans?
Find a mentor, if you're in the Denver area I would reach out to Matt Smith. He is awesome. Also don't take yourself too serious there too many triathletes that do.
What events are you competing in this year?
I'm aiming to go home and race Dublin 70.3 in Aug. My main focus in Ironman Boulder.

Two Palestinian teenagers were killed during a protest along the Israeli-Gaza separation fence Friday evening. Following these events, the Israeli air forces then attacked several targets of Hamas in Gaza.
On Friday, 6 September, two Palestinian teenagers, 17-year-old Ali Sami Al-Ashqar and 14-year-old Khalid Al-Raba'I, residents from the Ashati refugee camp, were killed during massive protests.

Additionally, the Israeli Defense Forces stated that they arrested two Palestinians, who tried to cross the boundary amid the protests.

A spokesperson of Hamas, Hazem Qassem, stated that "Violating the blood of peaceful demonstrators in the marches of return and deliberately targeting them is a crime that the occupation bears all its repercussions."
According to the IDF, the excessive use of violence was necessary because of "Violent demonstrations during which around 6,200 protesters assembled in several locations along the Gaza border fence".
Furthermore, the IDF stated that "the demonstrations were of an especially violent nature, which included a large amount of IEDs, grenades and Molotov cocktails being thrown towards IDF forces along the fence."
Only a few hours after the protests, five rockets entered Israeli territory, reportedly causing no injuries. The Israeli air forces carried out a new series of attacks in retaliation for the missiles launched from Gaza.
As reported by the WAFA, the airstrikes hit several locations in the Gaza strip, causing no injuries.
According to the IDF, a tank hit a Hamas outpost north of Beit Hanun, and a drone attacked a Hamas observation station close to Beit Lahiya. One rocket caused a small fire near the Israeli village Sderot reported by Israeli media.
Following the attacks on Friday night, the IDF attacked another target in southern Gaza, after an improvised explosive device hit a vehicle, causing light damage.
The protests marked the 73rd week of the weekly demonstrations, Great March of Return, in which Palestinian protesters in Gaza are addressing the continuing blockade of the Gaza strip and demand the right of return for Palestinian refugee to their former land in Israel.
According to the Palestine Centre for Human Rights, since the outbreak of the on 30 March 2018, 210 Palestinians have been killed.

I do tend to choose comfort over everything else...Naturally, being comfortable is different for everyone. I feel very comfortable in tights and pencil skirts, but I know this is not for everyone.Delete
che bello l'abitino leopard
buon giovedì, un abbraccio Ivana

Amazing landscapes! You look so classy. xoxo
Love this mix between fashion and literature :)ReplyDelete

Dear Ivana, I love romances that show history too, and The Age of Innocece is one of them. If I may recommend, I guess you have already read, Balzac and Dickens do the same, and I find their books brilliant. I got the feeling, seeing the movie and then the main actress as the protagonist of the book. But glad it didn't outshine the reading! By the way, on the post about Hemingway I was so immersed that I didn't comment about the outfit! But not today, I will! I loved the boots, the outfit for autumn, it really looks good and the location is superb! You are always beautiful on the inside and on the outside! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
thank you Denise<3 I love Balzac and Dickens...but between the two Balzac is my favourite!
This is an interesting book. Hopefully could find the time to read it too :)

This sounds great, I'll have to give it a read. Unfortunately my uni reading list is taking up all my time at the moment! I'm so looking forward to summer when I'll get a chance to branch out and read something a bit different. I really like your blog – do you want to follow each other on Bloglovin' so we can keep up with eachothers' posts?

Hey Ivana, how are you?! Hope you're doing great! Promise to make time in my agenda to read everyone of your recommendations (even tho I've read the Bell Jar, for example), 'cause you always come to Moda Odaradosti with great titles and definitely I have to grow up my library :D
I loved the description of the story (there is a love triangle included, gosh!), the title and of course the COVER! I know we don't have to judge a book by its cover but as designer the love comes from the visual sometimes and a nice cover could be the beginning of something great :D I loved how you talked about the topics of this book, mixing the post with great illustrations (I'm your fan as you know), your OOTD and some other inspiring pictures!
Keep creating dear and thanks for every comment, tweet and like!
thank you Pablo. I'm happy to hear that I'm giving you inspiration to read. The cover is really nice, isn't it? I really like it too.Delete
Wow, sounds like a pretty great read. I love finding unique books to read :)
You look stunning btw, love the outfit x
Sounds like such an interesting read! I love the lace design on the cover too :) x
The Belle Narrative
I must admit, that I did not yet read this famous novel from Edith Wharton, dear Ivana. It´s great, that the film did´nt "ruin" the novel. It must be a really great book.
Love your outfit, Ivana, especially the pattern of the dress and the jacket with this lovely collar! You look georgeous!!!
Have a nice evening,
xxxxx Nadine
yes, the book is great and so is the film.Delete
Interessante questo libro un bacioneReplyDelete

Nisam čitala i sram me je to uopće i napisati, jer je drfinitvno klasik koji spada u MUST kategoriju...što prije to trebam promijeniti i iskreno se nadam da hoću. Tvoji opisi i oduševljenje bi vjerojatno svakoga nagnali u knjižnicu, stvarno si inspiracija! :*ReplyDelete
U principu, sada sam shvatila da je američka književnost nešto s čime generalno loše stojim...ni sama ne znam zašto...trebam poraditi na tome!Delete
mislim da je kod nas u školskom programu više zastupljena europska književnost što je u neku ruku i razumljivo, ali imaju i Amerikanci nekih svojih sjajnih pisaca, samo što se kod njih oni izgube u moru trivijalnih djela, jednostavno to anglosaksonsko tržište je toliko preplavljeno "onim što se prodaje" i općenito tamo su knjige skoro pa "samo biznis", tako da je lako previdjeti neke dobre pisce...ja za pola njih ne bi ni čula da nisam baš ciljano birala neke izborne kolegije dok sam studirala.Delete
Nisam čitala ali želim već dugo, nego znaš već, toliko knjiga, tako malo vremena, pa kojim redom krenuti ;) Sad si me još više zainteresovala i još više me privlači. Plus sam i naučila nešto novo :) Uvek volim taj tvoj spoj književnosti i mode. Volim da vidim haljinice prilagođene hladnijim temperaturama, a čizme su baš divne. Moram i da se složim sa Pablovim komentarom o omotu knjige :)
Želim ti lep vikend! <3
tako to i meni često ispadne..ili čovjek ima vremena, a nema energije ili obrnuto...ali eto nekad se sve posloži pa mogu u miru uživati u knjigama.
slažem se i ja i s tobom i s Pablom.
Hi Dear,
Like a book lover I must confess I haven´t read this book yet but sounds pretty interesting.
Oh no, here is snowing for two days and you are still in something like the late summer!!! You are the lucky one :-)
I have never read E. Wharton, but I like this black long sweater a lot! I want to buy similar, maybe gray :-)
You look beautiful and this sight behind you is also marvellous. I really need and want to read something, but I'm still short of time :D
thank you Claire....now it is really cold here too...I'm freezing at the moment.
Yes, the view is very nice. These photographs were taken in the vicinity of Mostar.
The list is perfect dear..😊😊..

Great reads/ books don't happen always. This must have been a good one to have won the pulitzer award way back in 1921. The cover is beautiful. The lace especially. I wonder if that's significant to the intricacies in the story. I like the history behind the title. Perhaps it was inspired both by the painting and the authors childhood. I don't read a lot for pleasure as you already know (sadly) but there have been books I read over and over again. Even though I knew how they ended, that didn't stop me from re reading. And don't you just love movies that follow the plot of the book. Your very apt description of this book makes it very endearing. You must have truly enjoyed reading it.
This look you created is very beautiful. I love the print of the dress and your boots are very cool. Oh and that bag. Beautiful!!!!
I hope you have a great weekend Ivana.
thank you dear Idu. The cover is really lovely..and who knows perhaps it is sigificant for the story.Delete
Great review! Fantastic look! Have a lovely look!:)
Great pics! Kiss
Dear Ivana, I love you in your outfit of today! Such a cool dress! I have to admit I didn't read this obviously worth reading book so far and it amazed me although you knew the end you have been that spellbound by the book. Thanks for the review and enjoy your weekend <3
xx Rena
<3 enjoy your weekend too!Delete
Super combo Ivana !

Preslatka si u miksu haljinice sa dugim kardiganom, a detalji u vidu žute torbice i gležnjača došli su kao šlag na tortu :-)
Lep pozdrav Ivanice

BMW Motorrad France team rider Erwan Nigon is the 2010 French Superbike Champion after the final round in Albi. With just 11 points separating Nigon and his S1000RR team-mate Sébastien Gimbert in the build-up to the final two races of this season, one thing was for sure — it was only one of these BMW riders who would be lifting the title after the second race on Sunday afternoon, although it was anyone's guess which one it would be.
It was Nigon who was the first to stamp his authority on the weekend's racing by putting his #7 RR in pole position, although his best lap was only three hundredths of a second faster than Gimbert's, who would line up next to Erwan on the front row of the grid at the 3.565-km Albi circuit.
The race action started on Sunday morning with considerable pressure on both riders. One mistake could hand the title to their team-mate. It was Nigon, however, overcoming early pressure to pull an ever increasing lead and eventually winning the first race by 7.485 seconds over his team-mate, with third-placed rider David Muscat over 26 seconds behind on his Ducati. As well as the two BMW riders being on the podium, Erwan Nigon also posted the fastest lap of the race and three other privateer riders (Loic Napoleone, Nicolas Pouhair and Alexandre Perrault) made a grand total of five S1000RRs in the top 14.
Race two belonged to Sébastien Gimbert, who did all he could do to help his title chase by securing the final victory of the season. The 2009 French Superbike Champion made a fantastic start and led from the front, while Erwan found himself stuck in fourth pace behind Suzuki riders Freddy Foray and Vincent Philippe. However, Nigon needed just two laps to get past these two riders and move up into second place.
Knowing full well that the 2010 title would be his as long as he stayed in this position until the checkered flag, Nigon rode an intelligent race, eventually finishing 8.9 seconds behind his team-mate, who also set the fastest lap of race two. The podium was rounded off by Vincent Philippe, ten seconds behind Nigon, while privateer BMW rider Loic Napolean had a good race on his #77 BMW and managed to achieve fourth place.
After crossing the finish line, outgoing French Superbike Championship title holder Sébastien Gimbert swapped bikes with his victorious team-mate, so that Erwan would have the S1000RR with the number 1 place for his lap of honor, which they made together with a huge BMW flag. This action showed the excellent spirit between both team-mates which has definitely helped contribute to the incredible performances of this first season.
With seven victories, five second places and one third place in 2010 — as well as six pole positions achieved out of a possible seven — Erwan Nigon is a worthy champion and is proud to add his first French Superbike title to the growing list of silverware in his trophy cabinet. However, his team-mate Sébastien Gimbert was only 12 points back in the runner-up position and his constant hard-fought title challenge has allowed BMW Motorrad France to post a 'one-two' in the 2010 series — the best possible results in its first year of SBK racing.
For BMW Motorrad France, winning this championship, the vice-championship and also the Manufacturers' Championship is a remarkable achievement, given the fact that the S1000RR has only been on sale in France since December 5th of last year. As a team, to score 12 victories (including 10 double podiums) out of 14 races is testament to the hard work and success of everyone involved in this racing project. These results will be hard to improve upon in 2011, but no doubt BMW Motorrad France will be trying.

Text Messaging Turns 25
OMG, the first SMS was sent in 1992!
Happy birthday, texting. OMG, you're 25!
The technology that you (probably) use to talk to your children and grandchildren was used for the first time 25 years ago this week, according to tech site CNet. That paved the way for emojis, LOLs, OMGs and other things you never would have heard of if texting hadn't come along.
Using a PC (because mobile phones weren't equipped to type text messages), British engineer Neil Papworth sent the message "Merry Christmas" to the phone of telecom executive Richard Jarvis on Dec. 3, 1992, marking the first SMS — short message service — text ever sent to a mobile device.
"In 1992, I had no idea just how popular texting would become, and that this would give rise to emojis and messaging apps used by millions," he told Britain's Daily Mail. "Looking back with hindsight, it's clearer to see that the Christmas message I sent was a pivotal moment in mobile history."
It didn't take phone manufacturers long to adapt the new technology, and within a few years the sight of people slowly spelling out words on numeric keypads became the norm. That was followed by full QWERTY keypads on phones — and now smartphones.
SMS, the technology used to send text messages, has increasing competition. Facebook's Messenger, Snapchat and other chat apps all grab space once held solely by texting. And video and graphics play a growing role.
A study commissioned by Messenger, published last month, reported 77 percent of people over age 55 use emojis to communicate, and 53 percent use GIFs. The study reported 80 percent of adults and 91 percent of teens message every day.

If the fashion ramblings of a stay at home mom will bore you, please feel free to skip this post.
I'm by no means a fashionista, but I do think it's important to dress well for yourself everyday, and by well I mean change out of the yoga paints you slept in and comb your hair. Safe to say I don't have high standards, but lately I've been feeling like I should work a little harder on it. I don't usually put a lot of effort into what I wear because there are days, and days and days when Pk is out of town, that I'm really only hanging out with Lucy and I'm pretty sure she doesn't care what I wear. A lot of the good stuff in my closet is business casual stuff from when I was working (before Lucy) and is maybe a bit too dressy for casual wear. I don't think my stack of dress slacks from Banana Republic are really mom-appropriate ( ie – easy to clean chocolate milk and boogers from). I feel like I'm gradually accumulating a more casual wardrobe that's appropriate for my distinctly non-dressy lifestyle finally. Maybe it was seeing some of my very stylish friends over the holiday break or a little too much time staring at pinterest but I really feel lately like I have to try to at least look put together, even if it's just for me. So, here's what I wore this week. I see tons of room for improvement, but it's a little better than my usual extremely casual look ( like, I showered. and wore mascara. really.)
Monday – skinny jeans, Asos military jacket, hooded grey scarf, heeled ugg boots. (it was freezing and windy that day)
Tuesday – button up under an open knit sweater, cuffed jeans, Clarks desert boots (oooh look, I actually wore my hair down- the whole day!)
Wednesday -skinnies, gap plaid jacket, ankle boots, infinity scarf (super cold that day too)
Thursday – Valentines Day! an excuse to wear hot pink pants!!! Navy cable knit sweater, Frye Melissa Button Boots, sparkly heart pin. A necklace with all of our initials and a silver locket my mom gave me.
Friday (today) – skinnies again, tunic sweater, motorcycle boots, layered necklaces from Jcrew Factory
Here's what I see – I need to have a bit more variety in bottoms (like really Helen? 5 days of some version of skinny jeans?) and it wouldn't kill me to make a little more effort with my hair.
Sorry if this post is totally boring for you guys – I feel a little bit vain posting about fashion (since I'm clearly not an expert!) but I think seeing the pictures helps me assess what looks good and what doesn't. I think I need to sort of keep myself accountable too, lest the leggings and sweatshirts in my closet come creeping back out. I promise I won't always use filtered pics too, but they sure did a good job of hiding the dust on the mirror 🙂
Have a great weekend! We are going to enjoy some family time with out of town visitors and a fun weekend visit to our fertility clinic. We're getting the ball rolling on another round of fertility treatments which is exciting, tiring, and nerve-wracking all at the same time. Did I mention expensive? It's that too.
ps – are you guys following any fun fashion blogs? If so do share – it's always nice to have more inspiration.

What I love about Brian's classes is that he takes the time to teach you how to read music. It is really important because I had beginner knowledge but I could barely read the tabs. Now I can pick up any sheet music and I am able to figure out how to play it. Also, Brian is very patient, knowledgable, makes the classes fun, and is a great teacher. The studio atmosphere is great, you couldn't ask for a better place.
– Andrea
I am so glad I made the decision to take guitar lessons. I am more confident with the pentatonic minor and major scales, patterns across the fretboard as well as general fingering positions and bar chords. I was a beginner when I started my lessons here. Now I feel more like an intermediate, although I have a lot more to learn but Brian is the person to get me where I want to go.
– Simon
Quite challenging to start the guitar as an adult, especially since I never learned to read music. With Brian everything seems possible. He is such a great guitar player! And I love the way he tailors our lessons with a mix of theory, technique and practice. We work on those great rock songs that I never thought I could try so quickly. Although I still have along way to go, Brian makes learning fun, satisfying and hopeful from the start.
– Valerie
I really really love the lessons. Brian is a very thorough, very patient teacher. I feel that some other guitar instructors might try to give me the easy way out, but Brian continues to challenge me and gives me the proper way – the way that is going to benefit me in the long run.
– Spencer
I really like my lessons. Brian is a good teacher and I have fun in every class. We have learned Nirvana, Pink Floyd, and theme songs like Speed Racer. I like that Brian transcribes songs I want to learn. We work a lot on technique finger exercises and practice actual songs.
– Anna
Brian is very patient trying to find the right songs and the right practice schedule to meet my schedule. I work and it's hard to find time during the week. It's nice to have someone who keeps me on track and who is very patient with my hectic schedule other than guitar.
– Gui
Brian is a pretty cool guy. He makes the classes fun and interesting. I didn't know how to play anything when I started. I still have a lot to learn but I'm getting there.
– Carlos
What I like about the classes is that I learn a lot about songs I like. I definitely see progress.
– Bridget
I have been taking lessons from Brian for about a year now and I'm really happy with my progress. And it's not because I have musical skills. It's because Brian is a great teacher. I really enjoy my time and experience with Gables Guitar. I highly recommend that anybody interested in learning how to play the guitar, come in and see Brian.
– Dave

Concert Review: Glasvegas at Brighton Music Hall in Allston, MA
June 1, 2011 by Sally Feller
Filed under Concert Reviews, Daily Music News
Glasvegas Rating:
Brighton Music Hall
Allston, MA
May 26, 2011
Reviewed by: Sally Feller
Glasvegas, as you might guess by their name, are from the lovely green land of Scotland, or you know…Glasgow if you want to nitpick. Lead singer James Allan has an incredibly distinct voice that I can imagine classical singers wincing at. I, however—and the rest of the fans at Brighton Music Hall (Allston/Boston area) on May 26th— was enthralled by his rather haunting vocals. Allan draws emotion from the audience like a siren draws unsuspecting men to their doom. His voice just pulls it out of you and you're left feeling exhausted by the end of the show.
Of course, Allan isn't doing all this by himself: he's got a fantastic group supporting him: Rab Allan and James' cousin (lead guitar, backing vocals), Paul Donoghue (bass guitar, backing vocals) and the most recent addition: Jonna Löfgren on drums. The majority of Glasvegas' music is made up of catchy beats and melancholy lyrics, with an unmistakable focus on loneliness and various social issues, including an absent dad, football *cough* soccer, and a little bit of…um…murder.
The crowd at Brighton Music Hall was relatively small, as can be expected at this venue (yes, we all know the green line sucks…sometimes it's worth it to go to these great locales, okay!), but the real hardcore fans came out of the woodwork and wallowed in the essence of Glasvegas. James Allan rocked a white outfit—white-washed jeans, suspenders, a white tee—as he's done in several videos and photo shoots. It worked really well, actually, to draw your eye to him on stage in a darkly lit room. Should he wear it out? Not if he's into drinking any colored liquids or eating food. Any food other than plain white rice.
Pretty much every song in the set list resulted in the crowd singing the lyrics in perfect unison, the group energy visibly soaking into the band who were all smiles and adoration toward their fans. One of my favorites was "It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry," which starts out sounding a bit like a throwback to the sixties, with a swinging beat that fits perfectly with Allan's unique vocals. Group swaying ensued with a lasting fervor.
Other crowd favorites were "Geraldine" and "Euphoria, Take My Hand." The latter is a powerful song from their latest album Euphoric Heartbreak, that really highlights clean, crisp rhythms and the distinctive vocals that are exclusively Glasvegas. "Geraldine" is a sweet song about a hopeful social worker who just might stop you from slitting your wrists after listening to some of their other song selections. I can't really say there were many songs that stood out as crowd highlights in the show since everyone knew every word to ever song played, it seemed. "Whatever Hurts You Through the Night" and "Lonesome Swan" carried us through the set.
Glasvegas are true performers. Allan had exactly the right timing on when to ham it up and joke with the audience and when to bust out some energetic crooning/whining. The setup was simple: a few colored lights here and there, a rope light twined around the mike stand that changed colors for each song, white outfit on black stage. It just all worked in a minimal, authentic way that small clubs so thrive in. Glasvegas seems to pull off the authentic "dirty" show quite well—so much so that I'd hate to see them in a giant venue with a huge crowd they couldn't possibly interact with so intensely as they did at Brighton Music Hall. Check out the tour dates to see if they're coming to your city…you don't want to miss seeing these guys (and chick!) live.

Americans spend over $10 Billion on iPhone repair last year. In fact, we've estimated that more than 50 million smartphones will have seen their untimely death by the end of the 2015.
There's nothing like the feeling of dread when you accidentally drop your phone. Seeing it fall, almost in slow motion as it plummets to the ground, unable to do anything about the soon-to-be shattered device. Horrible.
What if I told you that the damage could have been worse? Besides water spills and broken screens, we've seen a whole lot of O-M-G. Take for example this phone below. It's hard to imagine what scenario would yield this kind of destruction. Judging from the melted battery, I'm not sure if it was accidentally baked at 375F or, someone set it on fire — accidentally, of course.
It took me a while to realize the wreckage below was actually a phone. It almost seems like it was dropped… from the 17th floor of an apartment building and then, ravaged by abnormally large and somehow razor-toothed rats. The said rats obviously brought the remaining pieces back to their rat kingdom made of miscellaneous phone parts, a la Ratatouille but with less rat cooking. If you have a better explanation as to where the rest of this phone is, by all means…
Here we have a modern day Picasso abstract art piece that depicts our generation's inability to detach from technology, rendering today's youth lonely, isolated, and introverted. I'm kidding. This guy dropped his phone in a bucket of paint while he was Googling: "How to DIY paint my college dorm."
I'm pretty sure it's obvious to most, but maybe phones should come with some guidelines. Like, Caution: Do not play fetch with smartphone.
Mmmm, S'mores. Oh wait, it's just a toasted phone. Again, hard to imagine how this happened. Probably accidentally dropped in a camp fire while making said S'mores.
Really, gang. If these photos didn't make you feel better about your cracked screen, I don't know what will. Someone get me some S'mores.
