We define a model of quantum computation with local fermionic modes (LFMs)—sites which can be either empty or occupied by a fermion. With the standard correspondence between the Foch space of m LFMs and the Hilbert space of m qubits, simulation of one fermionic gate takes O(m) qubit gates and vice versa. We show that using different encodings, the simulation cost can be reduced to O(log m) and a constant, respectively. Nearest neighbors fermionic gates on a graph of bounded degree can be simulated at a constant cost. A universal set of fermionic gates is found. We also study computation with Majorana fermions which are basically halves of LFMs. Some connection to qubit quantum codes is made.

How to Repair Top Coat of Leather
Most commercial leather has a top coat placed over the leather for additional protection and dye retention. The top coat prevents the leather itself from scratching as easily, protects the color from sun damage and keeps the leather soft and supple. When the leather gets scuffed or worn, the top coat wears away, exposing the dyed leather underneath the top coat. You can repair the leather and restore it back to the original finish by repairing the top coat and replacing it with a new coating. This will help it to last for many years.
Step 1
Clean the surface of the leather with a soft cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol. This will remove any grease, oil or previous coating from the leather, preparing it for a new top coat to protect the leather from sun exposure and scratching. You can rub along the gain of the leather or go against it, and rub gently.
Step 2
Spray the entire leather piece with spray acrylic lacquer. Use a formula designed for use on furniture and leather. Spray the lacquer in short bursts. Do not soak the leather. Spray a thin coating on the leather, then allow it to dry for about two hours. Spray a second coating of lacquer over the first. Allow the leather to dry overnight. Apply one final coat and dry overnight for ultimate protection.
Step 3
Place a small amount of leather conditioning cream onto a soft cloth. Rub the cream all over the leather to buff the leather to a high shine and remove any remaining scuffs. This will replace the top coat and restore the leather to its original shine and quality without damaging the leather.
Step 4
Allow the leather to soak up the conditioner overnight, then apply a second coat the next day. Allow the leather to dry overnight again, then wipe away any excess conditioner with a soft cloth.
Things You Will Need
- Rubbing alcohol
- Soft cloths
- Spray acrylic lacquer
- Leather conditioning cream

Early spring is the time to prune shrubs that don't flower in the spring, or ones with insignificant blooms that you don't mind pruning off. Spring blooming shrubs such as forsythia and lilac should be pruned after they bloom. Diseased, damaged or dead branches are the first to go no matter what time of year. Plants such as dogwoods here in Colorado thrive on the rejuvenation pruning gives them because it stimulates new branch growth and the new red, or yellow depending on the variety, branches are what gives the shrub its interest and beauty. Pruning is also used in thinning and shaping a shrub or containing it in size. There are right and wrong ways to prune so if you're in doubt, get advice from an expert.
Recently I got to hear from an expert plantsman, Tom Throgmorton of Throgmorton Plant Management about these and other pruning tips. His excellent talk at Fort Collins Nursery was very informative and accessible. You can catch him again April 10 at the Shrub Pruning Workshop at the Gardens on Spring Creek, Fort Collins, Colorado www.fcgov.com/gardens. Go and learn!

The apple maggot or railroad worm is a native, extending from Canada to North Carolina and west to North Dakota and Arkansas.
Vulnerable Plants
The maggot is particularly injurious to summer varieties in northern sections of the country. It also attacks blueberries, plums, and related flies infest peaches, cherries, and walnut trees.
Apple Maggot Appearance and Habits
Hibernation takes place inside a small brown puparium buried 1 to 6 in. deep in the soil. The adult flies do not emerge until summer (late June in some sections, early July in most). They are a little smaller than house flies, black, with white bands on the abdomen and conspicuous zigzag black bands on the wings.
The females lay their eggs singly through punctures in the apple skin; in 5 to 10 days these hatch into legless whitish maggots which tunnel through the fruit by rasping and tearing the pulp into brown winding galleries. Early varieties soon become a soft mass of rotten pulp; later varieties have corky streaks through the flesh and a distorted pitted surface. Completing their growth about a week after the apples have fallen to the ground, the larvae leave the fruit and burrow in the ground to pupate.
Ordinarily pupation continues until the next summer, but in its southem range, the apple maggot may have a partial second generation.
How to Manage Apple Maggots
Immediately remove and destroy dropped fruit on a large scale; this is effective only if implemented over several acres. If the fruit is not too badly infested, it can be turned into cider.
Plant white clover, home to beetles.
Hang fly-traps in trees from mid-June through the harvest, baited with a mixture of molasses, water, and yeast.
Maggots in picked fruit may be killed by holding the apples in cold storage for a month.

Welcome to The Kurdish Situation Report, a weekly update on the latest news coming from the four Kurdish regions in Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran. The Kurdish Situation Report is co-produced by the Washington Kurdish Institute and The Kurdish Project.
If you have any tips, questions, comments or concerns, please pass them along to firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter @KurdishProject. Want to get the Kurdish Situation Report delivered directly to your inbox? Sign up for our email newsletter below.
Corresponding locations for this week's news stories are numbered above.
Turkey (Bakur or Northern Kurdistan)
1. Tahir Elçi, the President of the Diyarbakir Bar Association, and a prominent pro-Kurdish human rights lawyer, has been shot dead in Diyarbakir, a city in the Kurdish-majority part of southeastern Turkey.
Elçi, a 'highly influential figure' amongst Turkish Kurds was killed while he was delivering a statement to the press. The motives and affiliations of Elçi's killer(s) remain unknown.
Elçi was arrested by Turkish authorities in October, after voicing his opinion that the Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK) should not be considered a terrorist organization. Clashes between Turkish and PKK armed forces continue in and around the city of Diyarbakir (called Amed in Kurdish).
2. The Turkish military continues to bombard Kurdish villages in northern Iraq. While Turkey has used warplanes to conduct airstrikes in the Kurdish region of Iraq over the past few months, the Turkish military used artillery shells in its most recent strikes.
The bombs were launched across the Turkish-Iraqi border, hitting at least four Kurdish villages. According to Rudaw, Turkish artillery hit Kurdish villages of Bedkar, Spindar, Baluka and Kara in the Kani Masi district of Amedi.
Iraq (Bashur or Southern Kurdistan)
3. After Kurdish Peshmerga forces liberated the Yezidi-majority region of Sinjar last week, Daesh (ISIS) forces are reportedly attempting to open a new highwayacross the Iraqi-Syrian border.
Before the Kurdish Peshmerga successfully liberated the region last week, Sinjar (Shingal) Province was the key that linked Daesh's operations in Mosul to Daesh's de-facto headquarters in the Syrian city of Raqqa.
4. Kurdish Peshmerga have repelled a Daesh chemical attack on Makhmour province in Iraq. The Peshmerga released a statement on Saturday saying, "On Nov. 26, [Daesh] extremists tried to launch several chemical mortar shells on the village of Lakja in the area of Baqirt –linked to the district of Makhmour where the Peshmerga forces are stationed."
"The Peshmerga soldiers, who were aware for the terror operation, foiled the chemical attack before [it was] executed. Our engineering units were able to defuse these mortars before they were launched by Daesh."
5. More mass graves were found in northern Iraq, adding to mounting evidence that Daesh has committed genocide against the Yezidi people of Sinjar. Qasim Simo, the head of security in Sinjar, said on Sunday that the graves are believed to contain 80 to 100 bodies. Two graves have been found east of Sinjar and one has been found within the town itself, bringing the total number of mass graves uncovered to five.
6. U.S. warplanes have hit an estimated 115 oil tankers controlled by Daesh in the Sinjar region. The oil tankers were allegedly delivering oil to Daesh from Syria.
Syria (Rojava or Western Kurdistan)
7. Agence France-Presse (AFP) reports that American soldiers are on the ground in Kobane training Syrian Kurdish fighters. These soldiers are widely understood to be the first American ground troops in Syria.
The U.S. soldiers arrived in Rojava (the Kurdish name for the Kurdish region of Syria) to advise and assist the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) and other moderate Syrian opposition forces against Daesh (ISIS).
These soldiers may be used to increase the accuracy of U.S.-led coalition airstrikes, and it's possible that they are training Kurdish forces on how to mark targets for airstrikes.
Iran (Rojhelat or Eastern Kurdistan)
8. A Kurdish political prisoner in Iran is facing the death sentence after a lengthy trial. Shahram Ahmadi was sentenced to death for "enmity against God" after a 'grossly unfair' trial, and his death sentence has been upheld by the Iranian Supreme Court.

Hassan's half-century leads Hampstead to victory
07 June, 2018
MUBASHER Hassan hit a well-crafted half-century and took four wickets as Hampstead continued their unbeaten start to the season in the Premier Division of the Middlesex County Cricket League on Saturday with a narrow victory at Finchley.
Having opted to bat first, Hampstead made a positive start with openers Jack Biddulph and Hassan putting on a partnership of 72 before Biddulph departed on 32 after being caught by Niraj Jadav off Tilan Wijesinghe's bowling.
Bowlers Sumeet Sharma (4-39) and Brad Chemaly (3-41) started to turn the tide in Finchley's favour, however, as they went on to claim seven wickets between them.
The duo combined to remove Hassan for 51. From there on in wickets fell at regular intervals, with Hampstead soon finding themselves on 135-7.
Scott Barlow came in at number nine, scoring 36 off 33 balls in a rapid knock that included three sixes and two fours. Even with his efforts the result was left hanging in the balance as Hampstead were bowled out for 200 in the 48th over.
With ball in hand, Hassan quickly removed openers Sumit Jadav (19) and Majed Ali (0) to leave the home side struggling on 22-2.
He then snared Brad Chemaly lbw, while Steve Clark bowled Rahul Wijeratne as Finchley found themselves on 45-4.
Niraj Jadav offered Finchley a little hope as he carved out 42 runs in testing circumstances, but with Hassan going on to record figures of 4-39 off just six overs, the hosts were skittled out for 162 to hand Hampstead a 38-run victory. The result leaves them joint top with Richmond having taken 41 points from five games.
North Middlesex are still in third place following their 60-run victory at Twickenham.
Openers Liam O'Driscoll and Luke Hollman scored 43 and 44 runs respectively, while Will Vanderspar came in at number six and top-scored with 64 as North Midd hit 265 before being bowled out in the 49th over.
Tom Nicoll played his part in making it a winning total as he took five wickets at the expense of 37 runs in a commanding 10-over spell, which ended with Twickenham being bowled out for 205, just four balls shy of their allotted 50 overs.

Canada is like a functional alcoholic, and being Canadian means living with one.
Now that I've got what may be the most unpopular statement I've ever written out of the way, let me explain what I mean. The thing about a functional alcoholic is that they have two completely separate sides to them: the outward persona, and the inner demon. Sometimes, that outward persona is fantastic and well loved, lauded and valued both socially, and within its family. The problem is that there is always the inner demon lurking in the shadows, who we hate, revile, and fear (if not fear becoming). Sadly, the same can be said of our country.
Canada is rightfully well thought of on the world stage. Canadians are known to be practical, hard working, likable, and courteous. We have a track record of bravery, honesty, and humour. We may proudly sew our flag on our backpacks with an expectation of welcome by the world, and we take pride in who we are–and rightfully so. While our patriotism may not be as bold and aggressive as our southern neighbours', it is a strong undercurrent in our culture, and one that is celebrated more boisterously as we approach Canada Day each year. The trouble is that we, as a nation, have done our best to ignore and forget the terrible things that we have done at home, to pretend that our outer persona and the difference we've made beyond our borders makes up for our inner demons–and they fundamentally cannot.
As we approach Canada's 150th anniversary of confederation (birthday, if you will), more and more people have vocally denounced the celebration, rightfully pointing out the injustices that Canada has permitted or directly overseen–particularly, but certainly not exclusively, to Indigenous peoples. Our country, the same one that proved its bravery and nationhood on the world stage during WWI and WWII, has also been guilty of atrocities: we have signed treaties we had no intention of honouring; we displaced Indigenous nations, and committed cultural genocide through residential schools, the Sixties Scoop, and a combination of legislation and policies that are, at best, paternalistic, and at worst deliberately crippling; we interned Japanese, Ukrainian, and German immigrants (and some second-generation Canadians) in camps and sold off their property to fund their keep; we allowed British loyalists from America to settle here, despite their owning slaves, and then did our best to marginalize those slaves, the freed slaves that came to Canada seeking sanctuary, and all of their descendants. There's more to add, I'm sure, but that should at least provide some context–a primer, if you will–on why there are so many conflicting opinions and feelings about the Canada 150 celebration. And while some of these things predate our confederation, others are all too painfully recent. Internment camps were less than 100 years ago. The Sixties Scoop happened while my parents were kids. The last residential school closed in the 1990s. And our marginalization of Indigenous peoples, and, in fact, the immigrants that we bring into our country either for humanitarian reasons, or economic ones, continues today.
These are all things I was unaware of when I was younger, and proudly celebrating Canada Day with a flag painted on my face–an educational failing that we should be ashamed of nearly as much as our original actions. We have brushed atrocities under the rug like an alcoholic hides his bottles, and hid our character flaws and poor behaviour at home behind an international persona of compassion. But there is hope. There is always hope, in the future. We can never truly atone for everything we have done as a nation, but if we can admit our mistakes, own up to our problems, and honestly commit to being better, we can move forward together–and wouldn't that be one hell of a legacy for our country to have? Wouldn't that be something worth celebrating?

I have been discussing the church which Jesus promised to build in Matthew 16: 18. We have studied the establishment of the church and the mission of the church. And concerning the church, I am aware that there is a philosophy that states that a man does not have to become a member of the church to be saved.
Let me say in reply to that teaching, that if one man can be saved on the outside as well as on the inside, then two men could also be saved. If two men can be saved without being in the church, then two thousand could; and if two thousand could, why not two million? If two million could be saved without the church then why couldn't the entire human race, and thus render the church absolutely useless? Why should Christ establish it, fill it with his Spirit, and become head of it, if the human family can be saved without it as well as with it? Surely we can see the folly of such reasoning.
I might also point out that the church of the New Testament is not simply an extension of a Jewish institution, coming down from the days of Abraham. The Jewish nation does not believe that but there are many professed followers of Christ who declare that to be the case. There is one example that ought to settle that point forever. In the third chapter of John, there is an account of a man named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, who according to birth and background, would have been a descendant of Abraham, and entitled to such benefits. However, this man came to Jesus by night and Jesus plainly told him the terms of entrance into the kingdom of God. Jesus said: "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). I.e., "Even if you are a descendant of Abraham, and a ruler of your people, such relations will not allow you to enter the church I have come to establish. Except a man be born of the water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
Jesus taught, therefore, that all affiliations and relationships based on the flesh are of no profit, and that one must submit to a new rite unheard of previously and unknown before that time, or else he cannot be inducted into the family of God.
Based upon that statement, I declare that every person this very day is either a servant of the kingdom of Satan, or else he is a child of God, and a member of his family. There is no middle ground. Either I am on one side or the other. If I am saved, I can rejoice that my name is written in the book of life, and therefore I am a member of the body of Christ, the church of God, the family of the first-born. Or, if my sins are unforgiven, I am a member of Satan's family, and I stand condemned and consigned to the regions of the lost.
The Church Is Not A Denomination
Every person ought to be able to recognize just what the church of the Bible is. The church is composed of all the redeemed, the saved, all those who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. What I want to stress is the unity and the oneness of the church. That very statement denies and opposes the idea of denominationalism. In fact, you can put it down in your book that when you read in the Bible about the church, you are not reading about some human denomination, because no man can read from the book of God a single, solitary statement or even a hint of anything that smacks of denominationalism. Denominationalism is modern, recent, and unknown to the book of God, and there is not a man living today who can take God's book and find anything that looks like even a distant relation of modern denominationalism.
Let me ask you this question: When you turn to the Bible and hear the Saviour say, "Upon this rock I will build my church," do you get the thought that Jesus was talking about some denomination? If so, which one? When the apostle Paul said, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it," (Eph. 5:25), what denomination was that? The truth is, no man lives who can trace denominationalism any further back than the sixteenth century. Before that time, history, both sacred and profane, is as silent as the stars of heaven.
In Bible days, or in apostolic times, Christians were simply called "Christians," and were known as members of the church. No one ever asked the inane question, "What church?" because there was only one – the one Jesus built. No one ever talked about what "branch" the apostles and disciples were members of. They were not members of any branch. They were branches themselves and members of the true vine. Until we get to that point, we can only expect confusion, infidelity, and embarrassment to confront us on every hand.
Jesus understood that full well, and Jesus prayed in John 17:20,21, "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one (not two, or two hundred as we are now), but "that they all may be one, as thou Father, art in me, and I in thee." Now note the reason Jesus gave for being one: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. "The greatest curse on the earth is religious division. The greatest hindrance to the cause of Christ is denominational rivalry. The greatest handicap and discouragement to faithful, godly men is the fact that people who claim to be members of the body of Christ are torn apart, divided and separated by human opinions and popular preference. We divide and sub-divide rather than submit to God's will and all determine to speak the same thing, and be of one mind and judgment, even as the Lord prayed and the apostles pleaded.
If there is anything the New Testament pleads for and insists upon, it is the unity of the church. The apostle Paul said: "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit" (I Cor. 12:12, 13). What does the apostle stress in that statement? He stresses the unity, the oneness of the body, the church! Paul argues that just as the human body is one, and has many members and all members of the body are one, so also is Christ. The apostle Paul further stated that there is only one body and that by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body. That's the way it was in Bible times! Is that the way it is today?
How is it today? All religious organizations demand that people submit to what they call "baptism," but into what are people being baptized? One preacher is baptizing into one body, another preacher is baptizing into another body, and a third preacher is baptizing into a third body, and so on. All the while Satan rejoices because of such an obvious departure from the Scriptures. Is that calculated to convince the world at large of the truth of Christianity? No, it does not sound like the apostle's statement that "By one Spirit are we all baptized into one body," because today they are baptized into two, three, or two hundred, as the case may be.
Again, the apostle Paul said in Eph. 4:4: "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling." From that statement, do you get the idea that the apostle implied that there might be 199 others? No, when he said, "One Lord," in that same connection, I understand that there is only one. When he said, "One God," I understand there to be only one, and when he said, "One Spirit," I understand him to teach there is but one. I get the impression, and you do too, that there is only one God, only one Lord, and only one Spirit. In the same connection, Paul said "There is one body," and therefore we conclude that there is one and only one.
The Church Compared To The Human Body
But again, the apostle compares the body of Christ to the human body when he says: "For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another" (Rom. 12:4,5). Thus, Paul argues that just as the human body has different members some to see, to taste, to smell, to hear, and to feel, and so on, and yet when they are brought together they compose this one body, even so in Jesus Christ every child of God on earth is a member, and the sum total thereof makes up but one body, of which Christ is the head.
But, look at Paul's statement in I Cor. 12:1820, "But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were are they all one member, where were the body? But now many members, yet but one body." Note: the members were not set in by popular vote, but by God as it pleased him. But did you see also, that Paul first said, "There is one body," but now he says: "yet but one body." Not only does the Bible teach that there is one body, but it also says that there is "but one," or "only one." While Jesus was on earth, he had only one head, and one body, composed of different members. Today, Jesus is at God's right hand, but he still has only one body, over which he is the one head, with many members in that one body.
What is that body, which is spoken of so many times? Turn to Eph. 1:22,23, where the apostle Paul was speaking about the glorious resurrection of Christ, and his triumphant ascension: "And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him (Christ) to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all." Therefore, Paul states that the church is the body of Christ.
The Church Is The Bride Of Christ
But there is more. The apostle Paul continues: "For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body" (Eph. 5:23). Here the church is represented as married to a husband. Just as a husband here on earth is the head of the wife, even so Christ is the head of the church, and he is the saviour of the body.
Now we believe it is wrong for a man to practice polygamy – that is, to have more than one wife at a time. If a man is found guilty of that, he is judged rather severely. But some who are so strict with reference to polygamy in the physical sense, wink at and permit, at least in theory – they permit Jesus to be married to two hundred different bodies on the earth. What would that be called? It would be polygamy (spiritually). True to every illustration with which we are familiar, Christ is the husband, the church is the wife – one husband, one wife; one head, one body; one Father, one family. The man does not live on earth today who can find support for anything except the unity of the church and oneness in the church.
But there is another passage. In Col. 1:18, the apostle said: "And he is the head of the body, the church; who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." Just as there is one body, and but one, and just as that body is the church, then it follows that there is only one church, which is recognized by God.
Unity Is The Answer To Infidelity
And I wonder what we can say in the face of the skeptics and infidels? What will be our defense in standing up for God and for the Bible, yet all the while hanging on to organizations which are absolutely unknown to God's book?
Suppose a skeptic who argues that the Bible is only a fairy tale, and who denies many of the things that you and I hold sacred confronts us. Suppose he steps up, with Bible in hand, to a preacher and says: "Sir, I am here to tell you that you do not believe the Bible." "Oh, yes I do," states the preacher. "You believe the Bible?" "You are governed by it in all things?" "You propose to stand for it against all forces of destruction?" "Well, I want you to take that Bible and show me on the inside thereof any place where God ever made mention of any kind of organization in which you claim membership and to which you give your time, talent and money. Now that's your Bible – just turn to it, and read it, and I'll hush up."
Suppose that preacher has to say, "Well, I am bound to admit that I can't turn to the Bible and read the name of the institution in which I claim membership, and which I ask others to be members of." You talk about a victory for infidelity! Here he claims membership in something, which is foreign, and unknown to God's book – he can't even read the name in the Bible, yet he claims to support the word of God. The infidel would have every right to say: "Either come back and take a firm footing on the Bible, and claim membership in only that which you can read, or else join hands with me and let's march hand in hand denying it."
Every Biblical Figure Stresses Oneness
But sometimes dear friends will say: "Brother, let me tell you how it is. There is really only one body – we are all one – we just have different heads." Then he begins to tell me who the head of his order is, and who the head of mine is, and so on. Well, what a picture! One great body of all professing Christians and yet from that one body projecting in different directions, two hundred heads! What a monstrosity! I try to be patient and kind toward anyone who advances such a thought, but I can't accept it. Reason and logic forbid it!
Then I have had them to justify denominationalism from a different angle. They say: "This is the way it is – all of us have one common head, that is, Christ, the Lord, but we are just different bodies of people. Over there is one body, and here is one body, and so on." Again I say: "What a monstrosity." Did you ever in all the world see a head with two hundred different bodies? Did you ever see such a thing, even in the animal world? If I ever see such a thing, I am not going to wait around for it to be identified!
Every illustration in the Bible emphasizes the oneness of the church. Look at the lesson of the vine and the branches. Jesus said: "I am the true vine, and my father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit . . .I am the vine, ye are the branches" (John 15:1-5). There is a close relationship between the vine and its branches. Every branch is identical in character, in kind, in fruit and in prospect to every other branch. There never was a vine that bore several different kinds of fruit, and yet people would have us believe that the parable of the vine and the branches illustrates the condition of denominationalism today. There never was a vine from which there sprang out branches differing in origin, doctrine, and practice. That simply cannot and does not happen.
When Jesus compared the church to the fold, or the flock of Christ, he said, with reference to the Gentile world: "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; (now get this) and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd" (John 10:16). When Cornelius and his family were invited into the church of Christ, that passage was fulfilled. The Lord never did plan to have two flocks – one with Gentile sheep, the other with Jewish sheep. He said: "There shall be one fold and one shepherd." We would not think of asking professing Christians, "Which shepherd are you following?" But men think it not strange when men ask: "What fold or flock are you a member of?"
I say again that oneness, unity, is a characteristic of the church of the Lord. It is also characteristic of every page of teaching in the New Testament. Wouldn't it be wonderful today if every professed follower of Jesus Christ were content to have only the Bible as his rule of faith, his discipline, his church manual, his church directory throughout life?
I want the foundation upon which we rest to be based upon God's word. I cannot conscientiously, consistently, or scripturally accept a human name unknown to the Bible. I cannot subscribe to any rule of faith except the Bible. I cannot bear any name other than the name mentioned in the pages of God's word. I cannot become identified with any religious order whose name is not found in God's book.

Led by David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center (CCRC) at the University of New Hampshire, and funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, "Online Victimization: A Report on the Nation's Youth" was published in 2000. Ten years later, Dr. Finkelhor published his paper "The Internet, Youth Safety & the Problem of Juvenoia," in which he presented the federal data on more than a dozen social problem indicators – from child sexual exploitation to school violence to substance abuse – back to the Web's earliest days and showed how the numbers were down for all the social problems over that period except for obesity and children living under the poverty line. Child sexual abuse had declined 58% since 1990. The data doesn't suggest that the Web was a cause of these decreased numbers – only that the data clearly shows it has not increased children's risk of sexual abuse, teen pregnancy, suicide, etc. [See this post by Helpline founder Anne Collier for more on Professor Finkelhor's talk and the social problem indicators.]

A Marriage of Romance and History
The wedding of Lauran and Oliver Thorpe took place at Staffordshire's magnificent Grade II listed stately home, Hoar Cross Hall. Here's Lauran and Oliver's wedding story;
"When we began searching for our wedding venue, our goal was to find a countryside retreat that had a nearby church and plentiful accommodation, so our guests could spend as much of the day with us as possible. The minute we approached Hoar Cross Hall, we knew it was 'the one'. Lauran is an architect, so she was immediately struck by its grand period features, and we both fell in love with the beautiful Church of the Holy Angels, which sits just outside the grounds of Hoar Cross Hall. We loved the romance of knowing that both our ceremony and reception would take place in buildings with centuries of stories to tell.
We were blown away by the splendour of the Ballroom – the setting for our wedding breakfast – and in particular, its striking William Morris wallpaper. We decided to incorporate its bold blues into our colour scheme, choosing navy blue stationery, bridesmaid's dresses, ties and pocket squares, and introducing thistles into our flower arrangements. Lauran had read about the ancient Japanese legend that promises long life and good luck to the bride who hand-folds 1,000 origami cranes, so she took on this challenge and the finished pieces were used as place settings and suspended above our dance floor.
The sun shone long enough after the ceremony for our guests to play traditional games on the lawn, while we explored the grounds with our friend and photographer, Samuel Docker. I'll never forget the moment when the Ballroom doors opened and we walked in as Mr and Mrs Thorpe. It really was the perfect setting for creating memories we'll treasure forever."

Four Steps You Can Take Toward Fulfilling Your Potential
Potential is God's gift to us. Making the most of it is our gift back to God. ― Mark Batterson
In a previous article I shared how God woke me up to my life. God spoke to my heart, "You get one life to live, and you're the only one who gets to live it."
We are still in the process of becoming, and have the potential to become all that God created us to be. God has given us so much more than we realize or dare to believe. He also gives us the autonomy to decide what we do with it.
We have this beautiful and powerful thing called a free will to choose. God asks us to choose His way. When we choose what God wants, we don't lose. We gain Him. We aren't His puppet on a string, either.
Additionally, God invites us to partner with Him in our becoming. In order to make steps forward in fulfilling our potential, which I absolutely believe the Word of God defines as becoming all that God created us to be in His image, we can take steps to partner with God in the process.
Here are four:
- Learn what potential is.
- Discover your God-given potential.
- Pursue God's dream for you.
- Do something with what you've been given.
What is potential?
In the dictionary, potential is defined as having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future. I often associate seeds with potential. Have you ever considered the number of orange groves that are contained in one orange seed, or the number of apple orchards contained in one apple seed? There's no way for us to really know. But we do know those seeds weren't meant to remain seeds. They have the potential to become exponentially more.
Robert H. Schuller says it well. "Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the apples in a seed."
Seeds have potential.
Discover Your God-Given Potential
God has given us seeds full of potential that need the right attention and cultivation to become. Sometimes we don't recognize the seeds of potential we have, but I don't want to put limits on what those seeds might be.
Therefore, ask God to reveal to you what potential you're not seeing. Your potential could be found in your abilities and gifts, your creativity and intelligence, the time and place you were born, or someplace or something you never thought of.
There is even potential in that thing you can't see any good coming from. That thing you've asked God to fix, heal, or takeaway, but He hasn't. For that, God is saying, "Let My strength be perfected in your weakness. Surrender that thing to Me. What the enemy means for harm, I will turn it for good."
So that thing you've been working so hard to fix—let go and let God have it, because His hands are the right environment to turn bitter into sweet and make beauty from ashes.
Pursue God's Dream For You
Sometimes we doubt we have any potential or that we can do anything with it. When we can't see our potential, a sense of hopelessness may make us wonder why we should bother trying. Sometimes we recognize we have potential but feel hindered, because we believe we aren't able to, not sure how to, or are afraid to do something try.
Sometimes we settle for what we have because we don't realize we can have more. We get so used to the mundane, everyday ordinary, trapped in the cycle of the busyness of life, we don't give ourselves a chance to admit we were made for more.
However, the discomfort and dissatisfaction indicates there is a problem. Let the awareness of that problem provoke you to seek change. The fact that you might be thinking or feeling those things is evidence that you were made for more. Let it be what propels you to pursue God's dream for you.
Ask God to put His dream for you in your heart, and to open your eyes to the hope of your calling.
Paul prays it like this in Ephesians 1:18: "I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope He has given to those He called—His holy people who are His rich and glorious inheritance."
Make it your prayer, too.
Do Something With What You've Been Given
Consider the immeasurable potential that God gave to a seed, and dare to imagine He has given you so much more. What are you doing with what you've been given? Don't let that question condemn you. Let it examine you. Let it motivate you.
Think about it like this. If you buy a pack of carrot seeds from the garden center, bring them home, and stick them in a drawer, they will never become what they were created to be—carrots, food, nourishment, and a producer of more carrot seeds.
Neither can you break open that carrot seed and find a carrot. You won't see it. Not unless that seed is planted and cultivated in the right environment and given the nutrients and time it needs to become what it was made to be.
You have potential to become all that God has created you to be, but the pressure is not on you to make it happen. Your success is found in your obedience. God is the one who called you, and He is the One who will do it. There's a promise for you in Philippians 2:13 that says, "it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose."
Don't be afraid to try, and dare to believe you were made for more.
Journeying with you,

In cyber space no one can hear the cash register ring, so how do you know if an e-tailer is the real deal?
Melisande Clarke, Editor of www.bellaloopa.com.au, reports.
Hard to imagine that there was a time when you couldn't shop at home and collect your purchases at the front door. In recent years Internet shopping has changed the buying habits of Australians, and it shows no sign of waning – a recent study predicts that online spending by Australians will reach $21.7 billion by 2015.
If you haven't already been swept up in the online shopping juggernaut it's only a matter of time. But whether old hand or novice, how do you ensure that your cyber shopping experience will be safe and satisfying?
Looks aren't everything
A lot of people judge a website by its aesthetic, and it can be a clue to the quality of the merchandise, but it could equally be just for show. More important than appearance however, is the information available on the site.
Before you start shopping look at the site's Contact Details. In a perfect world there will be a street address and contact phone number, or a customer service number. Some legitimate sites with a high volume of transactions will only have an email address; if you are unsure of the site send a test email.
The promptness and quality of the response can tell you a lot about an e-tailer.
Read the Fine Print
If something looks too good to be true, it often is. Although there are good deals to be found on the Internet, you often get what you pay for. When buying something on sale make sure you can return it. Some sale items online aren't refundable, so check before you buy.
We humans are an impatient lot and sometimes to fast track a transaction we tick the Terms & Conditions box without reading the fine print. Yes, these documents can be boring and knee-deep in legalese, but you may be surprised at what you find buried in the text.
Also check out the Returns Policy before purchasing, and keep an eye on your credit card statements when a refund is due – it's also human nature to let these things slide, and an unpaid refund can easily slip under the radar. And while you're at it, check that your card has been charged the same amount as that on your receipt, remembering to take into account currency conversions.
Know what you're buying
In the absence of the touch test, it's not unreasonable to expect a detailed description of any item you buy online. In the case of fashion, knowing what fabric clothes are made of will influence your choice – it may look like silk, but it could be Polyester. Likewise with jewellery, the length of a necklace can be the difference between a statement piece and a choker.
The same is true for home furnishings. A friend's sister was over the moon when she snapped up six antique coat hangers online, only to discover she'd bought six dolly hangers.
Size and condition are important too when buying vintage or second hand items. In this case a detailed description and zoom tool can make or break a sale.
An online shopping 'to do' list:
• Before purchasing anything online get to know the e-tailer by investigating all aspects of the site. With Australians sites look for an Australian Business Number (ABN)
• Make sure you are familiar with payment methods, and are satisfied that they are legitimate before giving credit card details.
• If you don't want to use a credit card use a secure payment service such as PayPal.
• Allocate one credit card with a moderate limit for Internet shopping.
• E-tailers should send an email confirming your purchase, but print out the receipt before leaving the site.
• Not all websites are all that they seem. Visit www.accc.gov.au for information on detecting Internet scams.
• Use a secure password. Mnemonic devices such as a quote or nursery rhyme are easy to remember e.g. To be or not to be, that is the question = tbontbtitq. And create a different password for all transactions.
• Use a computer that is protected with up-to-date Internet security software.
And finally, the adage 'buyer beware' is probably more applicable to online shopping than it is for bricks and mortar purchases, so look before you leap.

Why Smart Bloggers Write Less Content
We already know that you work your ass off to create stellar content that keeps your readers engaged, happy, and loving your forever.
But the influence of that content doesn't have to be restricted to the confines of your blog.
You can get your content – and your name – in front of new audiences simply by republishing on other platforms.
These platforms already have people interested in what you have to say, and you can bring that traffic back to your website – growing your online influence and your subscriber list.
This strategy works so well that you'll often notice top writers working out deals with big-name web publications like The Huffington Post, Business Insider, Entrepreneur, Forbes, and the like. At this level, it's usually called syndication, and it's a win-win: the host publication gets quality content for its readers, and the blogger generates traffic and better establishes their brand.
But there's a problem.
Getting past the gatekeepers of these huge publications is tough. You'll need to develop connections with the right people or catch their attention with a viral post. Even then, you have no guarantee they'll republish your content.
But there are platforms without such a high barrier to entry that still attract large audiences – some of whom will love what you're writing.
Consider Medium, one of the hottest content platforms around, where republishing is almost as easy as copying and pasting.
It almost sounds too good to be true.

A big part of our road trips is finding unexplored routes, especially in familiar territory. The pet cemetery near Okanagan Falls is a perfect example – unexpected, undocumented pockets of "holy crap" when you least expect it. Without exception, our off the beaten path discoveries have been quaint, obscure little treasures – Highland Copper Mine changed everything.
Highway 97C between Logan Lake and Ashcroft began as a lazy drive through cattle country. The route was fresh, the landscape etched as a postcard in my mind. I grew up in these canyons – smiled happily as hues of sagebrush parade, marched beside familiar shades of ancient rocky cliffs. Punctuated by unapologetic bastions of determination – scattered hay fields, century old barns and log houses – every few kilometers a sprinkle of tenacity or hope.

Good morning Krafty friends! Are you glad it is the weekend?! I sure am! I had another crazy week at work so it is going to be so nice to just relax and maybe do some stamping,he, he, he! Well, I have a card to share with you this morning that I made for both the Basic Grey challenges and Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge! At BG Challenges we have another one of Martine's fabulous sketches for you to use and over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps challenge the very talented, Guest Krafty Girl, Krista, has set the challenge...Rough it Up...add any kind of texture or distressing! Krista has made the cutest card featuring the fabulous new stamp Perfect Poison from the May release. If you join the challenge and use a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp on your creation you will be entered into the random draw to win a Perfect poison stamp...how cool is that!?
So I made my cardbase 6x6 from American Crafts cardstock and I used BG Recess pp and the green sheet is from Sugared. I followed Martine's fabulous sketch and I added texture by using a piece of a corrugated box and I painted it with Tim Holtz Distress Crackle paint in White Picket fence. I stamped this sweet Kraftin' Kimmie stamp from the Crissy's Cuties collection called Gone Fishin' with Memento Ink on Neenah card and coloured Huck and Lady with my Copics.
I stamped the Autumn Leaves ticket stamp on pp and cut it out with my Ticket punch and then wrinkled it to add to the distressing.The sentiment on the QuicKutz tag is a Melissa Frances rub-on and the flower and brads are from a Chatterbox scrapbooking kit.

Hmmm, you already said you're a Killington skier, so I guess that just leaves a few questions...
Red Sox or Yankees?
Seeded or Natural Bumps?
Helmet or No Helmet?
Hi Everyone!
My name is Nick, and I live right at the MA / RI / CT border in the small town of Uxbridge, MA. I've been a lurker for a long time, but have only been posting here for a few weeks. I've been speaking with Greg for a little while about AZ and he had mentioned to me he was interested in getting some more time back for his family and himself. We talked about AZ and what the community represents, and who the right person would be take over, and I decided (along with my sister as a partner, who you will see a lot more of as well ... her name is Ski Stef on AZ ) to embark on this great adventure of taking over the reigns of AlpineZone.
Please know that I have every intention of keeping this forum as fun, friendly, and exciting as it has always been. I know that I have some ridiculously huge shoes to fill (even more apparent after attending this past weekend's Summit), and I will do my very best to deliver here.
Greg will be staying on for a quite a while as a moderator during a transition period and still be active on the site, as will (I hope!) all the rest of the AZ staff. As far as myself, I plan on being active on the site and community and continue many, if not all, of the traditions that make AlpineZone the best site out there for the northeast's skiing and riding community.
I hope to ski with many of you in the coming years and truly look forward to forming some new friendships with everyone!
A little more background on myself and my history skiing, for those who are curious (I guess perhaps this should have gone in the "Introductions" thread!)
I'm 30 years old now, but have been skiing since I could walk. I have my parents to thank for that. My dad grew up in Germany and him and his family routinely took trips skiing in the Alps, on wooden skis that I'm pretty sure I still have stashed away in my basement somewhere.
My dad was a typical German, super regimented and determined, and he passed that along to me. We always took in every second of the ski day – first ones on the left, and last ones off the mountain.
I grew up in Manchester, Connecticut, and did most of my local skiing growing up at Killington and Mount Snow. I'm definitely more familiar with Killington than I am any other mountain in the area, although I have to say that I really hope to expand those horizons a bit in the coming years by really trying out many more slopes .
I've also had the opportunity to go on some great trips skiing in all other areas of the world… when I was very young (12 or 13? Maybe) I went to Breckenridge, which I only vaguely remember getting a Bronze NASTAR medal which at the time I thought was awesome(thinking it was 3rd place, haha); but in retrospect I'm pretty sure everyone gets at least a bronze medal just for participating.
But by far, the best skiing I ever had the opportunity to do was when my dad took my sister and I along for a helicopter skiing trip in 2001 with Canadian Mountain Holidays in the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia. That was just an unreal experience, and at some point I'll write up what it was like.
Unfortunately, my dad passed away in November of 2006. I remember the preceding spring going skiing with him at Killington for the last time. He had Lou Gehrig's disease, and I remember that last run down Header with him on Ramshead mountain, big smile on his face, enjoying being outdoors and skiing like he had his whole life. He was past doing the double diamonds at that point – but nonetheless, that trip was magical. It's been an inspiration for me… skiing for me is so much more than just something I do, it's really a part of who I am. And that's why I'm so excited to be a part of this community.
OK, let the ribbing begin ... and any questions you have, I will do my best to be as open as possible about getting them answered! You can always PM me as well, I want to listen to everyone who has been a member here first and foremost.
For anyone that was at the AZ summit this was me (I think Greg took this picture... Thanks Greg!)
Hmmm, you already said you're a Killington skier, so I guess that just leaves a few questions...
Red Sox or Yankees?
Seeded or Natural Bumps?
Helmet or No Helmet?

How to Become a CPA in New Mexico
The New Mexico Public Accountancy Board regulates licensed accountants and oversees the process for becoming a Certified Public Accountant in the state. There are six main steps to complete in order to earn a New Mexico CPA license.
- Complete a 150-semester hour educational program of acceptable coursework in accounting.
- Accumulate the required hours of experience.
- Pass the Uniform CPA Examination.
- Complete the AICPA ethics course and exam.
- Complete a criminal background check.
- Apply for a license.
1. Complete a 150-semester hour educational program of acceptable coursework in accounting.
Candidates for CPA licensure in New Mexico must complete at least 150 semester hours of college education that includes the award of a bachelor's degree. The 150 semester hours must include a minimum of 30 semester hours in accounting and/or audit to qualify for a license. The 30 hours of accounting and/or audit may be completed at the undergraduate or graduate level, or a combination thereof. All required hours should be completed at an appropriately accredited institution of higher education.
2. Accumulate the required hours of experience.
The New Mexico Public Accountancy Board requires that candidates for licensure earn at least one year of experience in accounting, attest, management advisory, financial advisory, tax, and/or consulting. For the purposes of licensure, one year is counted as at least one calendar year and not more than three calendar years during which the candidate worked at least 2,000 hours. Experience may be gained through private or public practice, government, or academia, but all experience must be verified by a currently licensed CPA.
3. Pass the Uniform CPA Examination.
The Uniform CPA Exam is a requirement for CPA licensure in all 50 states. New Mexico candidates should apply to the exam through the NASBA website. Approved examinees will receive further instructions on scheduling and taking the exam. All four sections of the exam must be passed within an 18-month rolling period.
4. Complete the AICPA ethics course and exam.
The New Mexico Public Accountancy Board has selected the AICPA self-study ethics course and exam to fulfill ethics requirements for CPA licensure in the state. Candidates can order all course materials through the New Mexico Society of CPAs website.
5. Complete a criminal background check.
Prospective New Mexico CPAs must complete a criminal background check prior to submitting an application for a license. As paper fingerprint forms are no longer accepted, candidates must arrange to have their fingerprints taken through Gemalto, which offers online registration for fingerprint background check scheduling.
6. Apply for a license.
Once all licensing requirements have been met, the final step is to submit the Application for a Certified Public Accountant Certificate. The application includes a work verification form as well as a checklist for requesting and submitting supporting documentation for the required exams and education.
New Mexico CPA licensees must renew their licenses on an annual basis. To renew, a CPA must complete 120 hours of continuing education, which includes four hours of professional ethics, for each three-year rolling cycle, which begins on the last day of the licensee's birth month. You can find additional information at the New Mexico Public Accountancy Board website.

Today, I'd like to introduce you to Linda of My Life? Really!. She is so nice and always an active participant of Five Little Grins! It's great to see her link up each week :)
What's your name?
Linda Cassidy and I live in Ottawa, Ontario
How old do you feel?
Most times I feel like I am still in my 30's. although when I do something stupid or embarrassing I feel like I am still 12, and then sometimes when I get up in the morning I fell 80. I will actually be 50 on January 31st ( good lord I still remember when that seemed so very old)
When did you start your blog?
Technically I started it back in 2008 but only made one post, then I resumed it again in 2012 for about a month. I started really going full tilt in August 2013, I consider my Blogversary August 15, 2013
Why did you start blogging?
Originally it was going to be a diet/exercise blog, then it was going to be an outfit/shoe blog because I was cluttering up my Instagram then I just wanted it to be a bit about all aspects of my life and what I think.
Is there a story behind your blog name?
It started as This is my life? Really and I shortened it to My Life? Really and it was just supposed to be an impact statement that this is really me and my life, no fibs, no fake stories , no edited pictures, just ma and all the awesomeness I feel happens in my life.
What are some of the blogs you read every day?
Living in Yellow, Two Thirds Hazel, Not like a Lamb, Venus trapped in Mars, Story of my Life, the Freckled Fox, Because Shauna said so, Because of Jackie Back East Blonde, there are more but these are some of my very favourite ones and they all are what I one day hope to be
What's your current job & what would be your dream job?
I am living my dream job actually. I am an Exclusions and Essential Services Officer with the Public Service Alliance of Canada, the largest public Sector Union in Canada. I negotiate agreements with employers on what services are essential during strikes as well as which employees should be management. I use to be a union politician and now I get paid ( very well) to do something that I use to volunteer to do. Plus I have awesome benefits and loads of vacation. My spouse also works for the Union. ( up till 18 months ago we worked for the same component doing the exact same job and I loved it). The only downside to my current position is I no longer work directly with Kent and I miss that part.
What's the weather like where you live? Would you rather be somewhere warmer or colder?
It is cold and snowy and yes I would much rather bu somewhere warm and sunny.
I love snow for Christmas but that to me is from the 23-26
WE have been having a really cold and snowy winter not as bad as 2008 but close. Pictures show our house during the winter of 2008 and the other is my yard in the summer, guess which I prefer.

Howard Stern's return to TV on 'America's Got Talent' raises ire
Howard Stern's big TV return next week on "America's Got Talent" is angering the Parents Television Council, which sent a letter to 91 companies that previously have bought ad time during "America's Got Talent."
The letter urges advertisers to spend their ad dollars elsewhere "unless and until [Stern's] conduct consistently reflects and respects the time, place and manner of an 8 p.m. broadcast television program."
Among the PTC's complaints are Stern's lack of valid judging experience. They write, "Stern's reputation for sleaze and misogyny is well known; and to our knowledge his only previous judging experience consisted of looking at insecure, naked young women and telling them whether or not they were hot enough to pose for Playboy."
The letter also repeated critical comments Stern made about "American Idol" contestant Fantasia Barrino and sexually violent comments he once made to a female guest.
These complaints aren't surprising since the PTC initially expressed its displeasure in November when rumor of Stern's gig was circulating. But as was pointed out then, the group did not raise much of a fuss when Jerry Springer, whose syndicated talk show has had its fair share of strippers and insecure, naked young women, served as presenter on "America's Got Talent" for two seasons.
Meanwhile, Stern's promotional train is in full gear. He's set to appear for the first time on "The View" on Thursday to discuss his new judging duties with Barbara Walters and company.

By Chere Di Boscio
Clean eating is a phenomenon that's not going away. After realising how much crap is in our food, people are wising up to the fact that perhaps increased cancer rates and an epidemic of malaises ranging from allergies to skin conditions are related to the lack of natural, organic food in our supermarkets. Vegan, organic and paleo diets have all gained popularity amongst those who believe, as Hippocrates said, that 'food should be your medicine.' But one type of eating that often gets overlooked is the alkaline diet. Devotees swear it does wonders for their digestion, skin and mood, and British chef Natasha Corrett is living proof. Since clearing up her own health issues through dietary changes, she's been on a crusade to help people stop creating food-induced acidic environments in their bodies which can lead to illness and cancer. Word has it that Victoria Beckham's highly improved skin is down to following Natasha's recipes.
Mainly, she recommends eating predominantly vegetarian foods, as these tend to be the most alkaline of all, and reducing your intake of coffee, alcohol, sugar and white flour. She's produced a plethora of delicious low-acid recipes for her Honestly Healthy blog and cookbook, and now she's got a second book out called Honestly Healthy in a Hurry for healthy food lovers on the go.
Here in this exclusive interview, she shares her kitchen must-haves, go-to dinner party food and why alkaline eating is so essential.

I know, I know, that post never materialized, but you didn't think I'd leave you hanging on the dresses?! Here's my roundup of the celebrity fashion from the Golden Globes 2015.
From talking with people on Facebook last night, I know that some of my faves were not that popular, but, hey, this is my blog. 😉
Let's start with the good:
To be honest, I didn't even know who Julia Goldani Telles was, but I just knew that I ADORED the color of her dress. I felt like, overall, there was a lot of blahness on the red carpet, and this Carmen Marc Valvo grabbed me immediately.
Anna Kendrick in Monique Lhullier. <3
I didn't even see Natasha Lyonne at the show, but damn, girl looks fine in her Reem Acra!!
Okay, so I hate the mock turtleneck collar, but I love the color of Ruth Wilson's Prada, and I think the design is really interesting.
The yellow twins! I think you can tell by now that what caught my eye last night was color, and these two dresses are such beautiful shades of yellow. Naomi Watts is in Gucci, and Leslie Mann is in KaufmanFranco.
I don't always love Allison Williams (well, more like I can't stand her character on Girls), but this Armani Privé dress is just LOVELY.
I know this one will be polarizing, but I really loved Lana Del Ray's retro look in vintage Travilla. So there.
What. A. Freaking. Babe. Can I be her when I grow up?! Catherine Zeta-Jones in Angel Sanchez.
Also, she apparently looked like an emoji:
But I'd be okay with that… 🙂
Again, polarizing, but I actually loved Kerry Washington's Mary Katrantzou.
The So-So:
I love Jessica Chastain, but didn't have any feels for this Atelier Versace dress. She does look lovely overall, though.
This duo of dresses had me drooling over the art deco style, but feeling meh about the shade. Both look lovely, though. Ellie Kemper is in Naeem Khan and Chrissy Teigen in Zuhair Murad.
Laura Carmichael always looks so much prettier as herself than as Lady Edith. I don't love her James Galanos dress (I don't hate it either), but her face just looks so pretty, I wanted to put her in here somewhere.
I thought Julianne Moore looked so pretty in Givenchy until I saw the bottom. Meh.
Felicity Jones, how do I adore you since before most people even heard of you?! And I adore the color if this Dior gown, but I hate the neckline and bodice. :/
Katie Holmes gets this honorable mention because I want to steal the plum color off her Marchesa gown and use it for everything always.
The Ugly:
HOW MUCH DO I ADORE ROSAMUND PIKE?! About as much as I LOATHE this Vera Wang. In general AND on her. They could have done so much with her post-baby curves, and this is what they came up with?! Convenient for nursing, and that's about it.
I think Emma Stone was the biggest tease, and biggest letdown of the show. I saw her head and top when she got out of her car, and I thought, My god, she looks so STUNNING! And then I saw the pants. I mean, I know I'm supposed to give her kudos for wearing a daring and interesting Lanvin, but why not save that for the Independent Spirit Awards?!
You knew this one was coming. And god, her makeup is STELLAR, but what is this?! The Amish Maternity Line?! This is CHANEL, ffs. 30 people worked on this dress. Apparently while on LSD.
This photo of Claire Danes and her Valentino is small and blurry, but, trust me, you don't want to look any closer.
And, no, I am not even including the ones who basically forgot their dresses at home. :p
But I think my all-time favorite of the night?
Yep. Amy's boobs. God, they look good in that dress!!
Who were your faves? Least faves? Biggest surprises? Disappointments?
