(1958-1990), the American Pop artist who went from drawings in the New York subways stations to major museum retrospectives and whose images have become icons of the 20th century moved to New York in 1978 to attend the School of Visual Arts, where his original approach was soon apparent in graffiti-inspired style expanded into large-scale designs of generative energy. At the height of the Punk Rock movement in the late 1970's he participated in the lively New York club scene, working with other artists involved in the same movement such as Jean-Michel Basquiat. In the summer of 1980 he took up drawing, inventing intricate cartoon-style murals of mutant figures locked in hyper-physical engagement. He had become a star in American art during the 1980s, exhibiting and working on projects throughout the United States, Europe and Asia, and his work became a symbol of metropolitan life. His accessible imagery stems as much from Islamic and Japanese art as the sign language of contemporary culture. In 1986 the artist opened his own retail outlet, The Pop Shop, in New York and was continuously engaged in projects of an extraordinarily diverse nature, from murals on the Berlin Wall to paint ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

Let Go Lyrics
I thought I had a perfect run. I thought avoided you all. but who am I to think I'd be any different than anyone? but you saw a different side and you are a part of why I've had some faith I've had some ties I've let it get to me this time. Just let go of everything you know. of everyone you thought you knew cause they've had their fun and washed their hands of me. I'm thinking forward from now. I'm looking out for only one of us I can't believe the tides have changed so quick I'm left behind. the sweet surrender. theres nothing better to believe when everyone turns and it's all on you to make it through the night.

April 13 (Bloomberg) -- Wall Street's challenge to U.S. regulations limiting speculation in commodities including oil and natural gas should be dismissed because Congress required the rules under the Dodd-Frank Act, 35 Democratic Senators and Representatives said in briefs submitted to a federal judge.
The 2010 Dodd-Frank law "was designed and intended to make those position limits mandatory," 18 Democratic and one Independent senator said in a friend of the court brief submitted to the court. In a separate brief scheduled to be filed, 17 Democratic House members said the law didn't require an analysis prior to completion.
Trade associations representing companies including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley sued to overturn the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulation approved last year that would cap the number of contracts aderivatives trader can have.
The lawsuit is one of the financial industry's highest- profile challenges to the Dodd-Frank law that bolsters regulation of derivativesafter largely unregulated swaps helped fuel the 2008 credit crisis. The International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association argue that the agency used a flawed analysis of Dodd-Frank when it completed the rule and didn't adequately consider the costs of the rule. A ruling is pending from U.S. District Judge Robert Wilkins in Washington.
High Oil Prices
"Oil supplies are plentiful and demand is down, so high gas prices can't be explained by ordinary market forces of supply and demand," Senator Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat, said in a statement announcing the court filing. "An ongoing contributing factor is excessive speculation in U.S. commodity markets."
The Senate brief was also signed, according to the statement, by Democratic Senators Mark Begich of Alaska, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Barbara Boxer of California, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Maria Cantwell of Washington, Ben Cardin of Maryland, Dianne Feinstein of California, Tom Harkin of Iowa, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Robert Menendez of New Jersey, Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, Bill Nelson of Florida, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Ron Wyden of Oregon.
Senator Bernie Sanders, a Vermont Independent, also signed the brief.
'What Congress Intended'
"Amicus briefs from the Hill are rare, but when they are used, they are the stuff, they really mean something," Bart Chilton, a Democrat on the CFTC and supporter of the limits, said today. "These folks actually wrote the law, making them a key voice in knowing what Congress intended."
The 17 Democratic Representatives said position limits have traditionally been established before a problem is identified in markets. "Such limits were required in order to prevent possible harm, not merely to address harm that has already occurred," the representatives said.
The brief was signed by Barney Frank of Massachusetts, Collin Peterson of Minnesota, Maxine Waters of California, Leonard Boswell of Iowa, Carolyn Maloney of New York, Henry Waxman of California, Luis Guiterrez of Illinois, Bobby Rush of Illinois, Mel Watt of North Carolina, John Conyers of Michigan, Gregory Meeks of New York, Howard Berman of California, Gary Peters of Michigan, Edolphus Towns of New York, Nydia Velazquez of New York, Elijah Cummings of Maryland and Heath Shuler of North Carolina.
The case is International Swaps and Derivatives Association v. U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 11-02146, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

New Dometic CEO 'Impressed' With RV Market
December 17, 2012 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on New Dometic CEO 'Impressed' With RV Market
Sweden-based Dometic Group, global supplier to the RV, marine, lodging, truck, automotive and medical markets, recently appointed a new president and CEO.
According to a press release, Roger Johansson took the helm on Nov. 8 and began touring the United States to get familiar with the company's operations and markets. He also attended the National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky., in late November, and was impressed by the industry's optimism for the coming year.
"Roger was accompanied at the RVIA show by Doug Whyte, president of Dometic Americas," said Dave Schutz, vice president of OEM sales and marketing. "He was impressed by the quality and innovation across the board, and how well Dometic's advances and product ideas resonated with the newest and smartest RV developments."
While the global economy is not as strong as it has been in the past, Johansson noted that it is encouraging to see the American RV market is actually growing. Dometic's RV division has also enjoyed growth in the last couple of years as manufacturing and assembly operations have moved to Elkhart, Ind., from both Sweden and Mexico, adding over 200 jobs.
Johansson previously served as CEO of BE Group, a leading trading and services group in steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Other prior experiences include vice president of General Motors in Europe and president of Trelleborg Automotive in Sweden.
"Roger's background in the automotive industry provided him with a real appreciation for some of the unique products at the show," Schutz said. "He'll be returning to the U.S. again in a couple months and is looking forward to visiting many of our OEM customers."

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-- The GC Baseball team could not top Washington University and lost twice in the double-header, falling 13-2 in the first game and 9-0 in the second game.
In the first game, Cole Lawson and Hunter Bryan were credited with RBI. Tyler Pilcher recorded the loss on the mound after facing 20 batters and allowing Wash U 7 hits and 7 runs. Jesse Sneed, Brandon Cranford, and CJ Opp each saw time on the mound as well. Wash U got out to an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning and increased their lead in the bottom of the fourth when they scored 6 runs. GC scored one run in the third inning and another in the seventh, but those two runs would not be enough to overtake the Bears, who took the game 13-2.
The second game also ended in a loss for GC. Wash U scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning and did not relinquish their lead. The Bears added two more runs in the third and four in the fourth inning to bring the game to its final score of 9-0. Tyler Mitchell was credited with the loss. He pitched 3.1 innings and allowed 6 hits and 7 runs. Nick Bifano and Scott Voyles also shared the mound, facing 6 and 10 batters, respectively.
These losses move the Panthers' record to 8-18 (5-10 SLIAC). The team plays again on Monday, April 22 at home where they will face Webster.

Whenever my fantastic wedding photographer friends fly in to New York to help me shoot a wedding, I like to give them days that might be well outside their norm. It's an old magazine photo editor trick to bring a fresh sort of vision to a given story, and gives a different sort of accent to my standard "work my butt off and tell the big story" style. For example, when Sara K Byrne came in fresh from her open-air, rural, hipster Idaho weddings, I had her help with a quintessential high-class Manhattan wedding in the opulent cavern that is the Metropolitan Club.
But what could be fresh to my friend (and fellow Moment Junkie co-founder) Kyle Hepp? She's based in Chile but spends most of her time in or around airplanes, shooting and traveling all over the world. What can be fresh to someone who was in her third hemisphere that week?
"OK, Kyle, this wedding is going to be fantastic. The couple is extremely nice, I love the Liberty House, the day ends at 4…"
"Four a.m.? Cool! That's pretty standard in Chile, though I don't always stay the whole time…"
"No … four p.m."
That did it. Of course the biggest challenges of daytime weddings are that sometimes it's hard for people to feel the same sort energy at tea time that they would at mid-night, but with Jerry and Regina's friends and family there was no need to worry about that. A cold mist turned the dramatic NYC skyline view into an impressionistic panorama, and inside the Liberty House the day was marked by deep convictions — convictions to friends, family, religion, and each other.
While the day was almost entirely culturally Western, the energy was helped further by the deep sense of fun of Asian-style reception games. I am sure Jerry has forgiven Regina by now for mistaking the arm of a female guest for that of her new husband.
Thank you both for letting me share in this day, and thanks to Kyle for doing a great job more than 5,000 miles from home.

NEW YORK — East Rutherford, Newark or Brooklyn. The Houston Rockets win no matter where the nomadic Nets call home.
James Harden and Carlos Delfino each scored 22 points, and the Rockets tied their longest winning streak against any opponent by beating Brooklyn for the 13th straight time, 106-96 on Friday night.
Houston blew most of a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter before Delfino hit a big 3-pointer with 1:54 left. He later made another jumper before Harden followed with a 3-pointer to put it away and remain unbeaten on the road against the Nets for 10 years.
"It was our defense," Harden said. "We started moving the ball and making the easy pass. We were kind of doing too much playing in traffic and they were causing turnovers and getting easy points, so we kind of slowed down in that sense and got a lot of open looks.
"It was a very good road win for us. Now we have to go into Washington tomorrow and play well."
Delfino made six 3-pointers. Harden, coming off a career-high, 46-point game Wednesday against Oklahoma City, made four 3s and finished 7 of 14 from the field.
Brook Lopez scored 27 points for the Nets, who played without starting guard Joe Johnson for the first time this season because of plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Deron Williams added 15 points and 13 assists, but shot 5 of 17 as Brooklyn had its four-game winning streak snapped.
The Rockets haven't lost to the Nets since March 13, 2006, in Houston. They haven't lost to the Nets on the road since March 31, 2003, in East Rutherford, N.J. — two homes ago for the team that moved to Brooklyn this season.
The Rockets also beat the Sonics-Thunder franchise 13 straight times from 2007-09 and Minnesota from 2007-11.
Brooklyn missed a chance to tie New York for first place in the Atlantic Division after the Knicks fell in Toronto. The Nets snapped a 13-game skid against Milwaukee earlier this week, but couldn't keep up with the NBA's highest-scoring team.
"This was a winnable ballgame for us, we just couldn't score the ball in the second half," Williams said. "Those shots they hit there at the end just kind of killed us. Big shots by them and we didn't make enough plays down the stretch."
Houston built a big lead early in the fourth quarter but got sloppy, committing a series of offensive fouls and letting the Nets run off nine straight points at one point. Mirza Teletovic, who scored nine of his 12 in the fourth quarter, hit a 3-pointer that cut it to 97-94 with 2:57 to go before Delfino and Harden had the finishing flurry.
"With 10 minutes to go in that game, we were up 15 and we just had to take care of the ball and move it," Houston coach Kevin McHale said. "Tonight the ball got sticky at times. We don't play really well when the ball gets sticky. We have to have ball movement."
"The past couple of weeks we've shown flashes, in my mind, of being a really, really, good team, whether it was the game against OKC or Golden State, or games like that," point guard Jeremy Lin said. "Today was an uglier one. We turned the ball over. We didn't play as well as we normally did. We're thankful."
The Rockets used only nine players. Newcomers Thomas Robinson, the No. 5 pick in last year's draft, Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt weren't available because Patrick Patterson, Toney Douglas and Cole Aldrich, the players traded to Sacramento on Wednesday, hadn't gotten their physicals done in time. The Rockets hope they will be available Saturday.
The Rockets shot 62 percent in the first quarter, but led only 34-31 after the Nets made 59 percent. The Nets cooled off to only 39 percent in the second quarter, but the bigger problem was their defense.
Brooklyn repeatedly botched its defensive coverages, allowing the Rockets' big men to get wide open inside the lane. Houston took a 10-point lead midway through the period and was ahead 61-53 at the break, with an amazingly balanced effort featuring eight players scoring between six and 10 points.
The Nets quickly evened it up in the third and it remained close until Harden scored the final seven points of the period in the last 1:11, giving Houston an 84-75 lead. James Anderson and Patrick Beverley opened the fourth with consecutive 3-pointers, pushing it to 90-75, before the Nets toughened again.
"The way we played in the second half is the way we need to play in the whole game," swingman Keith Bogans said. "We fought, we played defense, we got stops. Just that little stretch at the end where we didn't make any shots, but it shows what type of team we can be. We just have to play that way for 48 minutes instead of 24."
Omer Asik had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Rockets. Lin finished with nine points and six assists, the former Knicks star getting a nice ovation before the game.
C.J. Watson scored 17 points in place of Johnson.
Nets' skid vs. Rockets continues
NEW YORK — East Rutherford, Newark or Brooklyn. The Houston Rockets win no matter where the nomadic Nets call home.

By Scott Johnson
Manchester United have cast aside plenty of sub-standard strikers in recent years. Decent enough players in their own right with plenty of potential but not necessarily cut out to lead the line at perennial Premier League and Champions League contenders.
These players tend to filter down the football food chain to enjoy largely unremarkable careers, with the odd exception.
Diego Forlan, the European Golden Boot winner in 2005, and Giuseppe Rossi, who netted 32 goals in 56 appearances during the 2010-11 season, both flourished at Villarreal after departing Old Trafford. But they stand out amongst the likes of Manucho, Dong Fangzhuo and David Bellion.
The signing of Mame Biram Diouf was the kind of calculated risk in which Sir Alex Ferguson has frequently indulged in recent years when shopping for strikers, with decidedly mixed results. Bebe has been a considerable flop at £7.4 million and is currently on his second loan spell away from the club, whereas Chicharito continues to be a huge success and firm fan favourite.
Man Utd's forward flops
|Mame Biram Diouf
Games: 9, Goals: 1
Games: 7, Goals: 2
|Federico Macheda
Games: 36, Goals: 5
|Dong Fangzhuo
Games: 3, Goals: 0
|David Bellion
Games: 40, Goals: 8
Games: 3, Goals: 0
Diouf moved to Europe in January 2007, signing for Molde and aiding their subsequent return to the Norwegian Premier League. He made steady progress in his first two seasons, attracting interest from a number of clubs in England and Holland. His move to United eventually materialised in July 2009, for a fee of around £4m. He was loaned back to Molde for the remainder of the season while the club processed his work permit, plundering 16 goals in 29 games, including four in one game, as the Norwegians finished second.
When the signing was announced, Sir Alex revealed that Diouf was a player who they had been monitoring for two years and explained that the move was accelerated by the interest of competitors. "We weren't intending on signing anyone else," the Scot declared, "but the situation accelerated to a point where other clubs started to make bids, so we had to decide whether we acted or didn't."
Diouf eventually arrived in January 2010 to compliment a pool of forwards that already included Macheda, Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Owen and Danny Welbeck. Intent on making a significant contribution, the Senegalese enthused: "Playing for Manchester has always been a dream of mine ever since I was a small boy. I hope that when I move, I will have a big impact, I am confident of playing very well."
He made his league debut soon after at Birmingham City and scored on his home debut in a 3-0 win over Burnley, chalking up a further three appearances before the end of the season. A temporary spell at Blackburn then followed before, last season, the young attacker featured in only three Capital One Cup ties at United, mainly stationed on the wing, while Wigan expressed an interest in signing him on loan.
|Chicharito is 7/1 with William Hill to score two or more goals against Tottenham
He joined a club who had ended the 2010-11 campaign in fourth, their highest ever Bundesliga finish, while qualifying for the Europa League via the play-offs. Diouf made his debut as a second-half substitute against Hertha Berlin and scored his first goal in his third start, a 4-2 win against Stuttgart.
He then plundered an impressive 10 goals in his next 11 starts, often required to provide a powerful presence, leading the line on his own. This run incorporated Hannover's first continental campaign in 19 years, successfully navigating the group stages before succumbing to eventual winners Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals. Losing both legs 2-1, Diouf scored the consolation goal on both occasions. Hannover eventually ended the season in seventh, once again reaching the Europa League qualifiers.
The Senegalese has tackled the current campaign in suitably prolific fashion, scoring his first goal of the season, a late equaliser in the 1-1 draw with champions Borussia Dortmund, at the start of October. He then netted seven in the next seven games, including a double against Helsingborg, which aided his team's progression from the first group stage in the Europa League for the second consecutive season.
|COMMENT: After his spectacular two goals for Juventus on Saturday, Kris Voakes asks whether ex-Man Utd midfielder Paul Pogba might be football's best teenager
When the Bundesliga recommenced on Friday, Diouf netted a spectacular injury-time consolation goal in a 5-4 defeat at Schalke, a bicycle kick from the edge of the box.
Like Ron-Robert Zieler, another thriving at Hannover after failing to make the grade at United, Diouf was not really given a fair crack of the whip at Old Trafford. The very definition of a 'Moneyball' signing, he is now consistently demonstrating the "fantastic potential" which Ole Gunnar Solskjaer witnessed during his time as Manchester United's reserve-team coach.
The problem may have been due to a communication breakdown, as Diouf has since claimed that Sir Alex is "a great coach" but added: "it was hard for me to understand him. He has such a strong Scottish accent. Sometimes I did not know what he was saying!" United's loss has certainly been Hannover's gain.

Whoops, posted this in the main Religion & Secularism forum, but meant to post up for Michiganders:
Hello, just curious if anyone knows anything about this "documentary"? Only thing I can find on the web is Bright Horizon's website. I missed the screening a couple weeks ago at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor. I was initially intrigued, assuming it was a secular documentary (the Michigan Theater has always seemed to be a fairly progressive institution), but then found Bright Horizon's self-description as follows:
"...non-profit Christian film company with the main goal of spreading the Gospel and truth through film."
Uh-oh. Since this is seemingly a small-time local effort I'm motivated to do some grass-roots refuting of any foolishness presented as fact. However, rather than attend the next screening (free @ Novi Christian Community Center on 9/26) I'll probably just wait to buy a copy (hate to contribute even a little $ to their cause, but well worth it for playback, sharing, & note-taking :-). In the meantime, I figured I'd do a little research on some of the people featured in the film:
Dr. Richard Adler - Associate Professor of Biology and Microbiology and the Microbiology Concentration Advisor at UMD; with his wife, co-wrote the historical book "Jewish Ann Arbor"
Dr. Loring Brace - Anthropologist at UofM; apparently "Darwinian" and anti-Creationist
Bob Dutko - Conservative Christian talk show host in Detroit
Ken Ham - Young-Earth Creationist; president of Answers in Genesis USA, which runs the Creation Museum in Petersburg, KY
Dr. Grady McMurtry - Creationist; apparently questionable credentials
Todd Slisher - VP Science Programs @ the Detroit Science Center
Commentary from Dr. David Menton - "Creationist Anatomist"
Hmmmm, interesting. Let's just say I'm not holding my breath in expectation of a factual, reason-based perspective ;-)...
Thanks for any feedback/comments.

The Flyers' nationally televised 2-1 loss to the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins Sunday can be explained in two words: special teams.
The Flyers were just 1 for 9 on the power play, while Pittsburgh was 2 for 6, including Matt Cooke's winning goal with 1:47 left.
With the loss, the Flyers are 3-1 on the six-game homestand, which also has meetings with Atlanta and the Islanders.
Cooke scored his power-play goal while Kimmo Timonen was in the penalty box for flipping the puck over the glass and being called for delay of game.
"Well, it's a tough rule, you know? It's a rule, and it's part of the game," said left winger Simon Gagne, who had one of his third-period shots bounce off the post. "...I'm not sure, [it] might have hit the stick from them, but the call was made....That's not what you want, but it's part of the game.
"We have to find a way to kill those, but we didn't do it," Gagne added. "At the end of the day, like I said, all that good work for no points at the end – it's tough to take."
The Flyers outshout the Penguins, 28-22, won 61 percent of the faceoffs, and held Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin goal-less.
Afterward, Flyers coach Peter Laviolette vented.
"I guess I'm frustrated because for the last month and a half, we've been preaching discipline, preaching staying out of the box and our players have bought into that," Laviolette said. "We'll kill the ones we have to take, but going back and looking at that game, there are just too many penalties that never happened.
"Simon Gagne didn't high stick anybody. So it turns around and goes the other way. Scott Hartnell did not, in my opinion, interfere with the goaltender. I don't know if it's a reputation from the past, but you know we want to play tough, physical, but we don't need to go to the box. But we're still going there and our players aren't taking penalties."
The Flyers, who had a Mike Richards goal nullified by a penalty, didn't come close to generating the offense they displayed in a 7-4 win in Pittsburgh on Jan. 7. They had scored four goals or more in seven of their previous 10 games.
"I don't think we were bad on the power play; we were just a second late, a half-second late on all the pucks around the net especially," forward Danny Briere said. "I don't think our power play was as much the problem as the amount of penalties we took as well. You know we have been good in that department lately and not taking too many penalties I know their power play has been struggling all season, but when you have guys like (Sergei) Gonchar and Crosby and Malkin, you know at some point they can make a difference."
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma liked the way his team limited the Flyers' scoring chances.
"I think we haven't played a game like this where we've played well defensively and kept the team down to one or less." he said. The Flyers "have playing very well as their record as of late indicates, and we're coming off a tough game as well, so this was a big game for us to start our road trip. The guys battled hard and special teams won the game for us."
Crosby was also pleased.
"It feels good. It's not an easy place to play in, so it was a pretty intense game," he said. "You know, it's a 12:30 game, guys are barely up and here we are with a game with that much intensity. It's a good task and especially like I said, coming off Washington (a 6-3 loss), we had to bring that intensity right back up there again today and we did a great job of it."
The Flyers are 13-11-2 under Laviolette _ virtually the same record they had under John Stevens (13-11-1).

Music Review: Weak songs mar Elton John's album
Elton John, "The Diving Board" (Capitol)
Eager to make a relevant record at age 66, Elton John sought a return to his roots on "The Diving Board," advertised as piano trio music in the vein of his marvelous early albums. But while they had energy, humor and good songs in abundance, "Board" is dull.
The 15 cuts suggest Elton and producer T Bone Burnett weren't fully committed to the trio concept. Bass and drums remain subdued throughout, and several songs are dressed up with strings and backup singers. Meanwhile, John plays polite piano in starchy renditions of generic ballads. There's no "Bad Side of the Moon" here.
Longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics, which read as if he mailed them in. "I went to Paris once, I thought I had a plan, I woke up with an accent, I wound up in quicksand," goes the chorus to "My Quicksand," which does create a sinking feeling.
The hourlong album is heavily back loaded, and the final three cuts are the best. "Mexican Vacation (Kids in the Candlelight)" swings with a gospel feel, and the inventive instrumental, "Dream #3," offers more surprises than anything else in the set. On the autobiographical closing title cut, Sir Elton is supported by warm horns and is convincing as a cabaret singer. It's a better role for him than trying to reclaim his youth.

South Hampton man to face charges for armed standoffJAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
June 04. 2014 12:20PM
KENSINGTON – An armed South Hampton who called 911 for help late yesterday and set off a confrontation with state and local police will face 9 charges in court this afternoon.
Anthony Reardon, 44, is expected to be arraigned in 10th Circuit Court, Seabrook Division for causing a confrontation with more than 70 officers outside of his home before allegedly fleeing, crashing two police cruisers and striking two others.
Reardon made a 911 call about 5:15 p.m. asking for help. Police said they knew at the time that Reardon had a history with police, but the circumstances of the call suddenly changed when he was spotted in his driveway.
"He was carrying two long rifles at the time," State police Major Chris Aucoin said at a press conference this morning outside the Kensington police station.
During his armed standoff with police, Reardon had a chance to steal two police cruisers, crashing one in a ditch and plowing a second into a pair of police cruisers, according to Aucoin. Reardon was also able to fire shots from one of his weapons, police said.
Reardon remains at a local hospital being treated for minor injuries. He will be arraigned from his hospital bed via video feed, police said.
This story will be updated later today.

Game of Thrones: artist recreates show as 2D beat-em-up
Game of Thrones is here to make your Monday morning woes that little big brighter. Artist Roberto Flores has created his depiction of what the fantasy TV series would look like as a 2D brawler – specifically Tyrion and Cercei Lannister fighting – and the results are simply magical. Check out the images below.
File this one under 'Dave wants you to cheer up on this dreary morning', and check out Flores' official Deviantart profile to see more of his art, for a non-existent game he calls 'Game of Thrones: Excel'.
Please lord someone make this. Get the BlazBlue lot on the case surely?

Yesterday Alex and I went to the grocery store together and on the way home we passed a cemetery. That sparked this lovely conversation that I was completely unprepared for. How do you think I handled it?
ALEX: "Mom is that where Grandma Del died?"
ME: "No, bud, she's not there."
ALEX: "Where did she die?"
ME: "You mean where is she buried? She's at a military cemetery because Papa Barney was in the army during World War II and since they were married she got to be buried there, too."
ALEX: "Why would she want to be buried there?"
ME: "So they could be next to each other, babe."
ALEX: "Do you think they know they're next to each other?"
ME: "Well, they're not there, you know that, right? When people die they go to heaven but I think they know that they were buried together, yeah."
ALEX: "Where did Grandma Del die?"
ME: "In the hospital, bud. She had a heart attack."
From here I had to explain what a heart attack is and that when people get very very old they sometimes get sick and they die and that Grandma Del lived a great life and was very very old (she wasn't that old—only 85 and still in great shape, but she wanted to go. My Grandfather had died six weeks earlier and it was really hard on her. I didn't tell Alex that).
ALEX: "You'll die before me because I'm little and you're much older. You're 35."
ME: "Dude, I'm 34. And yes, I should die before you, that's the way it's supposed to happen, but not until I'm way way way older I hope."
ALEX: "Like in 35 years, mom?"
ME: "Well, I'd like 60 more years. That would make me almost 95 and I think that's a great age. And you'd be 65 then and you'd have grandkids so I'd get to live to see my great grandkids, which would be awesome. Sound like a plan?"
ALEX: "Yeah, that's perfect. And then I'll die when I'm 95. I hope that happens, mom. Mom, how old was Jesus when he died?"
ME: "Um…Jesus died when he was young, Al."
ALEX: "Like 34, mom?"
D'oh! Wasn't Jesus 33? Crap! I can see where he's going with this. For a second I start telling him that Jesus rose from the dead and then I catch myself—we were almost home, thankfully, and I just wasn't prepared for the whole nailed-to-the-cross, ressurection talk. Maybe I'll check out a book for him…or just wait until he starts religion classes. I doubt I'm the best Catholic for the job if you know what I mean. What is with his religious obsession these days? Tis the season, I guess. (PS, I finally made him his potato latkes...more on that later.)
ALEX: "You can say Jesus Christ if you're talking about him but you can't say it if you're mad, right? Well mom, you know that kids can die too. Like 10 year olds."
ME: "Yeah, Al, anyone can die. It's not supposed to happen until we're much older but anyone can die that's why we need to enjoy every day we have together."
ALEX: "Like if a man offers you an ice cream cone in the back of his van and then he chops you up with an Ax, right mom?"
ME: "Gheesh, Al, where did you hear that?"
ALEX: "Dad told me that like two years ago. So you never go near van—look mom, a white van! But I don't think it's a bad one.—Mom, the ax was invented in 1995, right?"
ME: "Al, the point is you have to use your head and never go with a stranger but it's not just white vans Al, OK? You need to really be smart and aware of your surroundings and always tell me everything. But you don't need to be scared of people, OK?"
ALEX: "Yeah, I know mom."
And then we pulled into our driveway and he bolted out of the car and that was that. Thank God. I've been thinking a lot about death lately, as I'm sure we all have been, but this talk still caught me off guard. And it upset me a little. As a cancer patient/survivor it's always hard to talk about my dying because, well, a lot of people die of cancer. And with the recent Newtown tragedy, talking about death with my kid is much more difficult--both because I know how lucky I am to be having just a hypothetical chat and because I immediately think about those families and the talks they must be having. But I don't want to completely sugarcoat things for Alex, either. I think he can handle the truth(ish) and he's super curious which I love and want to foster. I just wish there were some way to be better prepared for this stuff. Especially since you never know how and when kids are going to bring it up. Just another one of the many ways they keep us on our toes, I guess. So, do your kids ask these kinds of questions? How do you handle it?

Burglar distrupts elderly Red Sox fan's TV time in Manchester
June 11. 2013 8:10PM
MANCHESTER — An 89-year-old's enjoyment of a televised Red Sox game was interrupted Monday night by a burglar who waltzed into her bedroom and took a wooden jewelry box from her dresser.
Police said the incident happened just before 9 p.m. at an Island Pond Road residence. The woman was in bed watching the Red Sox game when a thin man, about 5-foot-10 and wearing dark-colored clothing, entered her bedroom.
The woman told police the man tried to hide his face by pulling his sweatshirt or jacket over it as he took the jewelry box. He never said a word to the woman, but she told police he appeared to be talking to a second person who was just outside the bedroom door.
The burglar fled with the box, which contained costume jewelry.
Police said it appears the intruder entered the home by pushing in an air conditioner in a front window.
A police dog was unable to track him down.
Anyone with information about the burglary is asked to call police at 668-8711. Anonymous tips for cash rewards may be made through Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org.

When the details make the difference
But well, not everything happen as we plan or want. But it seems that faith wanted me to post a grey outfit with just a small splash of color at the bottom of the outfit. The Yellow Knotted Mules are my favorite lately and the satin works perfect with my pajama look.
What do you think about this trend? Everyone dresses like they just got out of bed, but I really love it. It can be casual and elegant at the same time and also you can look more relaxed if you prefer to wear the outfit by day.
Let me know what you think about it and stay tuned because I`m preparing a new face for my beloved blog that will be soon lunched with a surprise for you ♥
Wish you all a new wonderful week,
Kisses, M ♥

The beach season comes to an end
Hi loves! Most probably this is my last bikini post for this year since the season is about to end. I kept it for the end of the summer as a reminder of how great it was.
There are still unwritten stories that will be kept as memories for myself because as you all know, we still need to have a private life and if they are kept this way, sometimes we enjoy them more.
Kisses and wish you all a wonderful weekend,

All Black and White
I just got back from a short run and right before entering the shower I wanted to share a new outfit with you. Well, not only because I was to nervous to show it but mostly because today it willl be a busy day and this is the only moment when I have a few minutes left free.
It`s hard to get back form your holiday and be on track with everything, even more that I still want to enjoy the few days left of the summer and I want to have them bu the pool. The good news are that maybe this weekend you`ll find me there ♥
But tell me, how do you manage to get back to work and succeed in remaining focused on what you have to do and not having your mind in completely other directions? Because I`m not really successful at this lately.
If you can imagine, last night by instinct I found myself searching for another holiday destination!
But one week from now, we will officially start a new autumn season and for sure will be magnificent. It should be since we have a hell of a summer ♥ In a good way for sure ♥
Wish you all a wonderful day and stay tunned because new things are about to come!
Kisses, M ♥

Sailor on Duty
Hi loves! The weather is so moody lately, but today I want to share with you my sailor inspired outfit that I wore for our last night in Cannes. I thought it will be perfect and that it will match perfectly the atmosphere there and I was right. Everyone admired the dress and also the combination of white and blue with the red details.
Regarding the city, there are too many things to be mentioned but I don`t want to bore you that much again. Still, I want to recommend you if you`re going to explore the city, to take also time to go to the Radisson`s roof top restaurant. You`ll have a 360 degrees view over the city and the French Riviera, which will amaze you. During the day I don`t think it will be that interesting but if you`ll be there at the sunset you`ll love it for sure.
I hope you`ll enjoy the pictures and you can find more details about my outfit in the I was wearing section. Hurry up because most of the items are not on final sales and you can have them at a super price :D You know that I`m always sharing with you these details because I think that it is extremely clever to invest in statement pieces but is even better if you`re not going to spend a fortune on them!
Wish you all a wonderful day,
Kisses, ♥

Time to be the Prom Queen is close ♥
September is just around the corner and the new season on wedings and proms is about to start. All the girls dream to be the Prom Queens and we all know how hard is this. Together with Sherry London we made some selections of Prom Dresses that will help you to get through all the drama and the shopping crisis in outfits that you`ll shine and get the entire attention!
First of all the red dress never gets out of style. The elegance of a qualitative lace that creates a one shoulder long dress will help you make a statement. If you also pick the right accessories the outfit can be even more attractive. I was never quite a fan of the combination of red and black so this is why I`m suggesting you this time a combination of red and nude.

Day 3 of our Holiday spent in Nice
Hi loves! Today I will share with you more details about our short trip from Cannes to Nice & also the details of my Pocahontas outfit ♥
First of all, there is a short trip. We took the train from Cannes and in 30minutes we arrived in Nice, but it is extremely important to take the TGV instead of the Regional train becuase it`s both cleaner and faster since the second one has stops in all the small stations and the irony is that at that moment was also cheaper if you can believe it, since we paid 22 euros for 2 persons both ways, instead of 28 euros.
From Nice you can also go in Monaco too and you`ll have another 30min maximum. It`s worth the time, but in our case we were to exhausted and we skipped it.
About the city, since the attacks that happened just a short time ago, the city was peaceful and I can say a bit empty. The terrible moments are still in the air, but we enjoyed a walk by the sea and also the streets of Nice with no incidents. I guess is safer now that there are police officers around the city walking between the tourists.
Last but not least, I decided to be Pocahontas for a day by wearing a leather outfit found on Kraxy Rabbit. Simple leather, suede leather, braids, white and brown... the ingredients for a perfect outfit that was completed with a pair of pom pom sandals, a brown Michael Kors Bag and my all time favorite pair of sunglasses from Prada.
You can find all the links to each product in the I was wearing section.
I hope you enjoy it and wish you a wonderful week,
Kisses, M ♥

You`re planning a trip to the French Riviera? Read more about my experience
Our second day in Cannes, was beyond perfection. We had decided to go and relax by the beach and to enjoy a cold Granita. I have to admit that this was my favorite drink during the holiday and I know that basically is not that healthy, but come on, it was just for a few days :D
For me, everything was just in the right place and by spending a few days there, for the first time I started thinking how it can be to live there. And everything in my mind was just perfect and relaxing, you know the kind of activities and life that we should all enjoy at some point in time? Well Cannes fit them all, at least from a theoretic point of view ♥
I will continue to tell you more about this place and have a small story with each picture that will follow. In this way I think you`ll have a better image and you`ll understand better the magic of the city.
In the mean time, you can purchase the items I wore by clicking on the specific product you`re interested in and you`ll be directed straight to the product page:

The unexpected trip to Cannes ♥
Hi loves! I know it`s been a while since my last post, but as some of you already know from my Facebook and Instagram accounts, I`ve been on a short holiday...again :D
It was unplanned mostly because we wanted to go to the seaside in Romania, until we found that there were no rooms left and we decided to change the destination and go to Cannes. In the next posts, I will show you more pictures with the city, the beach, their delicious seafood and the entire vibe.
Just for you to know, we took our flights to Nisa, because in Cannes you can arrive only by private jets and from Nisa we took the train that arrives in Cannes in no more than 30 min. Also if you want to know where you can stay, the best is to stay arround the train station because it`s extremely close to the center and to everything that you`ll want to see.
I loved it and for the first time, I`ve said that it was one of my best holidays. ♥
Wish you all a wonderful day and even if it`s sad, summer is almost over and we have to get back to work as we should, don`t you think?
Kisses, M ♥

Bonding With Mother Nature
Hi loves! Today I`m back to you with a more casual outfit, perfect for those summer days when you want to enjoy the day and spend it maybe at a picnic with your friends. I`m so over wearing heels and these gladiator sandals are more than perfect for my feet.
Also, for the perfect outfit you should try and combine a comfy kimono with a small but useful backpack... like I did. Somethimes, even if it`s small or big, a bag is a bit uncomfortable and this is when the backpack comes to save the day ♥
One more thing that I want to tell you about, is related to the sunglasses. Recently I became a football fan... not really common for a girl, but I watch the Euro 2016 with my boyfriend and if you watched it too, you have probably noticed that the German team was great and their results were really good.
Jerome Boateng was also part of the team and right before the Euro, he launched a new sunglasses collection and I said to myself that I must have a pair. Said and done ♥ Maybe is not one of those brands you want to have in your collection, but I don`t really give much attention to the brand as I give on the person behind the collection and on the shapes and models available...
I will invite you to take a look at his collection Here and let me know what you think. Also it`s in collaboration with Edel Optics, so their quality is undoubted.
Wish you all a wonderful weeken!
Kisses, M ♥

Garden Party by Pandora
Last week I attended the Garden party organized by Pandora right after my arrival back in Bucharest. Everything was so dreamy and gorgeous that I didn`t even realized when time passed by and the clock showed 10pm.
Sure, we had flowers, a great garden set up, sushi and the new Pandora Collection together with a short speech held by the Ranevents Team about the Autumn and Winter Collections together with the new one Pandora Rose. Pure perfection and great vibe. Loved it and
I will let you enjoy the pictures and some pieces of their collection. For more, visit their stores and for sure you`ll spend some money in there haha.

Give a girl the right flowers and she will love you forever ♥
Good morning loves! Today I have a special post that is meant to be about us, all the women around the world and about, like we do like to call, small attentions that we like to receive once in a while... if not everyday :D . I always loved to receive flowers, usually any kind of flowers, but my favorite of them all, are and will always be the red roses: color, passion, beauty and love.
I noticed during editing and writing this post, that I have a different glow and smile in these pictures than in the usual ones. I guess that in the end, small things really make us happy and grateful for what we have.
But I`m not gonna lie, I would love to wake up every morning and have a big bouquet of red roses on the nightstand. I would wake up happier and full of joy, ready for a new day, even if it`s presumed to be a good or a bad one ♥
I hope you`ll like my shooting for today and I`m really curious what are your favorite flowers?
Wish you all a great weekend,
Kisses, M ♥

Feeric Fashion Week is all about People
Ultima zi feerica si ultima postare despre aceast eveniment. Desigur, o sa va vorbesc pentru ultima data despre acesta insa au ramas in continuare multe lucruri nespuse, amintiri minunate si experiente ce nu le voi uita prea repede, fiindca imi vor ramane mereu in suflet.
Pentru mine, totul a inceput acum cativa ani, cand la recomandarea Gabrielei Atanasov, Mitichi imi scria pe facebook... da, pe facebook, imaginati-va :D
Stiti, acel calendar care in acel an a reunit bloggeri din toata tara, M Calendar, in care eu am ales sa o interpretez pe Sarah Jessica Parker, ei bine el a dorit ca eu sa fac parte din acest proiect si desi eram la inceput si recunosc, putin sceptica, am acceptat provocarea primita si o sa ii multumesc mereu pentru ocazia oferita si pentru restul experientelor si amintirilor pe care am reusit sa le creez alaturi de toti cei din echipa Feerica. Multumesc Mitichi ♥
Insa acum este timpul sa va povestesc despre ultima zi petrecuta la Sibiu, despre prezentari si despre ultima Gala desfasurata in Piata Mica pe deja consacratul pasaj suspendat. Dar sa incepem cu prima prezentare a zilei!
28 July 2016
A 4 a zi Feerica la Sibiu
All great things come to an end! Trist dar adevarat. Toata aventura Feerica petrecuta la Alba Iulia si Sibiu a fost extrem de minunata si ma bucur ca am avut ocazia sa cunosc atat de multe persoane diferite si unice alaturi de care am reusit sa creez legaturi datorita pasiunilor comune: moda si pofta de viata.
Poate cumva v-ati plictisit de aceste postari, insa mereu Feeric Fashion Week a venit cu ceva nou, inedit si incredibil de bine realizat. In a 4a zi, am avut ocazia spre exemplu sa participam la o prezentare de moda realizata la Castelul de Lut situat in Valea Zanelor ( in apropiere de Sibiu) unde am admirat o noua colectie semnata Charles & Ron.
Va pot spune ca locatia parea desprinsa dintr-o poveste si cu siguranta daca aveti ocazia trebuie sa mergeti sa il vizitati. ♥

Cum am reusit sa slabesc sanatos
Astazi o sa va povestesc mai multe despre problemele mele cu greutatea din ultimul an. De cand ma stiti, probabil ca ati observat ca am luat cateva kg si ca formele corpului meu s-au schimbat. Nu o sa spun ca sunt grasa sau ca am fost grasa... insa va pot spune ca nu ma simteam bine cu greutatea pe care o aveam.
Tot procesul de slabit, este de durata, asta pentru a obtine rezultate care sa te multumeasca si care sa te faca sa te simti bine in pielea ta dar care sa nu iti afecteze sanatatea.
Ca sa intelegeti mai bine situatia, am reusit sa slabesc de la inceputul lunii aprilie aproape 7kg. Desigur, as putea avea o scuza pentru vacanta din Italia in care nu am reusit sa ma abtin de la pizza, paste si inghetata... insa mereu gasim scuze care sa ne acopere vina de care suntem doar noi responsabili fiindca cel putin in cazul meu, nimeni nu m-a fortat sa mananc. ACCEPT: Sunt pofticioasa si imi place mancarea.
Dar, momentul critic s-a petrecut cand am inceput sa fac curat in dulap si blugii boyfriend... nu prea mai erau asa boyfriend pt ca devenisera destul de stramti, iar pantalonii scurti nu ma mai incapeau. In acel moment, m-am pus in fata oglinzii si am inceput sa ma analizez, lucru pe care nu il mai facusem pana atunci. Sincer, nu mi-am dat seama de formele pe care le capatasem... iar oglinda parea sa imi fie in acel moment cel mai mare dusman al meu.
Cantarul nu a fost nici el prea prietenos...indica 65,8 kg. Stiu, este un numar mare iar asta fiindca si eu eram destul de mare. Cel putin in raport cu numarul de kilograme pe care il aveam de obicei.
Si de aici a inceput aventura mea impotriva kilogramelor in plus. O sa va povestesc pasii care mi-au schimbat starea si desigur greutatea:
1. Alimentatia:
Marea mea problema era legata de dulciuri, mancat la ora tarzii chiar si noaptea ma trezeam din somn, faptul ca sunt pofticioasa si cu greu ma abtin de la ceva si usoara dependenta de coca cola.
Incep cu lucrurile la care am renuntat: nu mai mananc dupa ora 9 seara, si asta pentru ca mereu ma prinde cel putin 12 noaptea la calculator editand poze si scriind articole. De asemenea daca ma trezesc noaptea, prefer sa beau doar un pahar cu apa si am renuntat de tot la cel mai prost obicei pe care il aveam.
Cat despre pofte, dulciuri si mancare mai putin sanatoasa. Nu am renuntat la ele, insa am redus cantitatile. Imi este pofta de ceva, gust si atat, iar mancarea nesanatoasa o pot avea doar o data pe saptamana. Insa incerc sa nu fac din asta un obicei saptamanal.
Inca un lucru important, nu mancam dimineata. DELOC. Acum, prefer sa imi fac un shake pe baza de iaurt degresat de baut, un fruct care poate sa difere ( banana, fructe de padure, kiwi samd), miere, migdale, caju si orice alte seminte nutritive. De precizat este faptul ca nu le iau prajite. Restul meselor sunt compuse din gratar de pui, salate, vita la gratar, legume sotate si fructe.
2. Sportul:
Cel mai important pentru un corp armonios si sanatos este sa faceti miscare.
Am alergat... des si mult. Am ajuns la alergari de 15km insa am realizat acest lucru treptat. Fiindca am facut sport de performanta 12 ani de zile, corpul meu este destul de rezistent la efort asa ca am putut sa incep 5 km. Pe care la inceput am vrut doar sa ii alerg intr-un timp cat mai bun. Cand am considerat ca este suficient, am trecut la 6 km, 8km, si 10 km. Iar cei 15 km de care va spuneam, i-am alergat pur si simplu din ambitie, sa imi dovedesc ca pot sa realizez tot ce imi propun si ca munca o sa imi aduca rezultatele dorite.
De asemenea, de curand am inceput sa si inot. Vara va recomand sa inotati mai mult decat orice. Eu nu suport sa alerg pe o asemenea caldura si de aceea am preferat sa merg la bazin si sa inot macar o ora. Inotul iti lucreaza tot corpul in acelasi timp si va ofera o forma frumoasa a corpului, asta pe langa multiplele beneficii pe care le aduce, precum plamani mai sanatosi, o inima mai puternica, indreapta spatele pentru cei ce petrec foarte mult timp la calculator spre exemplu.
3. Suplimente care sa ajute in acest proces.
De multe ori, este dificil sa reusesti chiar de unul singur si un ajutor este mereu binevenit.
Acum aproximativ 2 saptamani, am inceput sa testez deja faimoasele ceaiuri WOW TEA. Sincer, eram extrem de curioasa de efectul pe care o sa il aibe. Revin iar cu o paranteza, cand faceam inot, primeam extrem de multe suplimente nutritive care aveau scopul de a ne ajuta atat pentru a rezista la efort cat si pentru a ne reface dupa antrenamente.
Cred in suplimente si in produse 100% naturale si daca sunt urmate de pasii necesari, cu siguranta ajuta mai mult decat v-ati astepta. Trebuie sa precizez ca orice produs nu isi poate face efectul daca nu este ajutat. Nu puteti alerga 10 km spre exemplu, sa mancati la fel de mult si sa va asteptati sa slabiti. Cu siguranta in cel mai bun caz, doar va veti mentine la greutatea pe care o aveti.
Acum, pot sa ma si laud cu numarul de kilograme la care am ajuns. In ultima luna, de cand am inceput sa folosesc si acest ceai, care ma intriga extrem de tare la inceput, am reusit sa slabesc dublu, fata de cat reusisem pana in prezent. Mai exact in ultima luna, am reusit sa slabesc 3,5 kg si am ajuns la 59,2 iar acest lucru merita sarbatorit cu cateva poze la piscinaaa ( Chaboo Pool and Club)
O sa spuneti ca nu exista secrete miraculoase si asa este. Nu doar ceaiul a contribuit, dar a ajutat exact la fel de mult cum a ajutat si sportul si alimentatia si chiar vara, care datorita calturii elimina pofta de mancare.
Insa toate impreuna ajuta la un rezultat pe care eu mi-l doresc.
Lupta mea cu greutatea nu se termina aici si probabil o sa fie o batalie fara sfarsit pentru ca asa cum va spuneam... imi place mancarea si recunosc!!! Momentan, mi-am propus sa ajung la 54-55 kg fiindca imi doresc sa o iau treptat, iar de acolo o sa vedem ce se mai intampla ♥
Asa ca, sper sa va inspire schimbarea mea si sa va incurajeze si pe voi, cele care va confruntati cu aceasta problema sa faceti primul pas catre un stil de viata sanatos.
Fiecare are o perceptie diferita asupra greutatii si a ceea ce inseamna gras sau slab, insa mereu este important sa va simtiti bine in propria piele si sa fiti multumite de modul in care aratati!

Feeric Fashion Week- Day 3
Hi loves! Dupa o saptamana extrem de obositoare dar de vis din toate punctele de vedere, ieri am ajuns inapoi la Bucuresti. Desi este aproape 12 ( s-a facut 2:30 intre timp) eu sunt inca in pijamale si stau intinsa pe canapea, scriind aceasta noua postare pentru voi.
Trebuie sa recunosc, sunt putin melancolica fiindca total s-a incheiat parca extrem de repede, asta poate se datoreaza faptului ca nu am avut foarte mult timp liber la dispozitie, iar ritmul alert nu ne-a permis decat sa ne bucuram de fiecare moment si sa putem pleca fiecare spre casa, cu convingerea ca am creat amintiri extraordinare alaturi de oameni minunati, pe care ii cunosteam deja sau pe care tocmai i-am cunoscut dar care au intrat rapid in vietile noastre.
Dar povestea nu s-a incheiat si acum a sosit timpul sa va impartasesc mai multe detalii despre cea de a treia zi din cadrul Feeric Fashion Week. Mai exact, joi au avut loc 3 prezentari individuale si 4 prezentari in Feeric Venue ce s-a desfasurat in fiecare seara la Redal Expo.
O sa va continui povestea acestei zile in cele ce urmeaza si nu uitati ca la sfarsit veti gasi si poze cu tinutele pe care le-am purtat ♥

Princess for a day - Feeric Fashion Week Day2
A doua zi de Feeric Fashion Days de la Sibiu, a avut pregatite pentru spectatori, cum era de asteptat, locatii surprinzatoare si inedite ce se potriveau perfect cu conceptul si viziunea fiecarui designer ce avea sa isi prezinte colectiile.
La orele amiezii, brandul argentinian Ruma Zapatos, a deschis sirul prezentarilor cu o colectie de pantofi extrem de speciala, avand ca atractie principala detalii suflate cu aur alb si roz de 18karate. Prezentarea a avut loc pe pasajul ce leaga strada Mitropoliei de strada Xenopol.
O sa va povestesc mai multe in randul fiecarei prezentari fiindca trebuie sa stiti povestea fiecarei colectii si a designerului in cele ce urmeaza.
Cat despre tinuta mea, Raffaela Moraru a avut grija sa stralucesc si imi place sa cred ca am fost o adevarata printesa la Palatul Brukenthal... mai in gluma, mai in serios.
Dar asta cu siguranta datorita minunatei rochii corai pe care am purtat-o si care pe langa faptul ca m-a facut sa ma simt speciala, a fost si extrem de comoda. Ador rochiile lungi, dar cele asimetrice sunt mereu practice si iti ofera aceeasi eleganta ♥ Voi ce parere aveti?
Tinuta a fost compusa din:
Rochie: Raffaela Moraru
Geanta: Michael Kors
Incaltaminte: PinkBasis

Feeric Fashion Week- Alba Iulia #feelfeeric
Buna dimineata ♥ Dupa cum bine stiti, weekend-ul ce tocmai s-a terminat l-am petrecut la Alba Iulia si va pot spune ca a fost #FEERIC la propriu si la figurat. Acum va scriu de la Sibiu deja, fiindca ne pregatim de o noua zi plina de prezentari inedite si colectii surprinzatoare.
Sambata am avut parte de emotii, oameni puternici care ne invata sa traim si sa ne bucuram de viata la maxim. Mai exact Feeric Fashion Week a pregatit in colaborare cu Asociatia Open Your Heart, cea de a zecea prezentare Atipic Beauty din care am avut onoarea si deosebita placere sa fac parte si sa sustin in acelasi timp initiativa de a atrage atentia asupra dificultatilor cu care se confrunta persoanele cu handicap motoriu.
Tinuta purtata de mine este semnata Irina Zgaia si va pot spune ca in prezentarile de la Alba Iulia, ea a fost cu siguranta preferata mea ♥

We are going to #FeelFeeric
De astazi intr-o saptamana incepe o noua editie de Feeric Fashion Week. Asadar ne vom vedea in Weekend-ul urmator la Alba Iulia iar apoi, de Marti pana Sambata ne vom da intalnire la Sibiu la cea mai importanta saptamana a modei din Europa de Est.
De fapt, este prima editie in care denumirea sa adopta numele marilor saptamanii ale modei din intreaga lume precum: London Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week si Milan Fashion Week.
Pentru mine, este prima data cand voi participa si la show-urile de la Alba Iulia si va pot spune ca sunt mega entuziasmata sa cunosc atat orasul cat si designerii ce vor participa si vor deschide aceasta noua editie.
Anul trecut, Eduardo Perez și Diego de Biase, creatorii argentinieni din spatele brandului Sarah Jessy Jones au deschis, prin prezentările de la Alba Iulia atât săptămâna modei cât și calea designerilor din America de Sud spre piața generoasă a Europei de Est. Succesul prezentărilor de modă susținute de cei doi designeri a dus la o listă de designeri sudamericani de-a dreptul impresionantă pentru ediția din acest an. Astfel, alături de numeroși designeri argentinieni, publicul va putea vedea colecții produse de designeri din Paraguay și Chile. Iar participarea internațională la Feeric Fashion Week nu se oprește aici. De-a lungul celor 8 zile, pe pasarelele Feeric vor defila creații ale unor designeri renumiți din Singapore, Liban, Suedia, Malta, Serbia, Grecia, Italia, Franța sau Germania, la care desigur sunt adaugati si designeri din Romania.
In final, peste 50 de designeri din intreaga lume au confirmat participarea la aceasta editie pentru a isi prezenta cele mai noi colectii la Feeric Fashion Week.

Eye Catching Yellow Dress
But now things have changed and my hair is darker, actually a big part of it is in my natural color. It`s been a while since I`ve seen it because if you can imagine I first got blonde around 8 years ago. I am enjoying it at the moment but when the entire length will be healthy enough, I will get back to my favorite hair color.
Also, this was the outfit I wore for my b-day party. I managed to wear this new pair of Aquazzura sandals with the yellow dress. I wanted so bad this pair of heels and I was so happy when I received them, you probably have seen on my Snapchat account too.
I hope you like it and maybe it will be a great inspiration for you during these summer days.
Kisses and wish you a wonderful day!

Back to my first love & Birthday Celebration
Some of you might already know that I was a professional swimmer for 12 years and the pool was basically my second home. In fact I spent time in it, sometimes more than at home but it was true love, dedication and passion. I know I don`t have the same body as I did 5 years ago, but all the running that you have seen on my Facebook Page and all your support was worth it. Just to let you know, I`m not stopping here ♥ I do want to promote a healthy lifestyle as much as I can.
And oh, I do support the initiative of " Stop Bullying". We all have to be proud of who we are and how we look. Indeed, we all have to take care of our bodies and souls because we only have them once. And this is the main reason for which I decided to have a bikini post on my Birthday. Is a celebration of love... love yourself and love the ones around you ♥
For my Birthday, I wanted to go back to my favorite environment and enjoy it at the fullest and Chaboo Club and Pool was kind enough to make my day perfect ♥ Well, this happened on Saturday, because it was sunny and nice. Today is all rainy and cloudy but this is not going to be a problem for me and for the fun I have planned.
Kisses and don`t forget to be kind :D ♥

Pre Birthday Outfit Post ♥
I was so enthusiastic to share with you this pictures that I could not wait until tomorrow. The sad thing about this pictures is the fact that a lose a big part of them and I just can`t recover them in any way :( And some of them were so great, because the sun was extremely strong and we have waited a while for a cloud to appear and once it was in the right spot everything was just perfect.
But you`ll not be able to see them and I just had the chance to see them on the camera while we were shooting. Well sad story but I managed to find some nice one to and share this ones!
I wanted to make this post a bit festive, due to this gorgeous dress and to the fact that soon ( on Monday) I will turn 25. I can`t even realize how fast time past by but I`m grateful for everything and stay tuned because I`m preparing a nice post for you ♥
Until then, the weekend is near and I have to prepare a party :D
Kisses, M ♥

All roads lead to Rome
I`ve told you in my previous post that we stayed nead Piazza de Popolo so this was our first stop. But we found out that we can go up and have a perfect view from above over the entire square and also enjoy a gorgeous & peaceful place which was more like a park. you can see more in the following pictures ♥
Then, when we went down we succeeded in arriving at Piazza di Spagna but since the stairs ( Spanish Steps) were closed for restoration we couldn`t take too many pictures there. But I think that they were closed until the end of this month, so if you have planned a trip to Rome starting from next one, you`ll have more luck for sure.
I will invite you to read the entire story because you`ll see more tourist attraction and in the meantime if you`re curious about my outfit don`t forget to check the next section because you`ll find there all the details you need ♥

Last day in Naples and First evening in Rome ♥
If you want to get there you can take the Funiculare from a street near the Piazza Plebiscito or from 2 other metro Stations but I don`t really know their names. Is a must if you plan to visit Naples but just take care because even if it`s a quite area we had a bad incident with an immigrant while I was taking a few pictures to Iustin. We thought I was actually picturing him and he wanted to broke my camera and he acted quite dangerous... but lucky me, it was a railing between us and it was a bit difficult for him to reach me.
I will let you enjoy the view together with some nice buildings and places from that part of the city and I will continue with the other destination and with our trip and first evening in Rome!

Somewhere in between two styles
Today I want to show you the outfit I wore at the C&A event. Well, you might have seen more on Instagram and Snapchat ( user: manuellalupascu) about how it was and also you might have seen the fact that I had a different pair of sandals.
And indeed, you were right. Since it was a day event, I considered these lace-up sandals a bit too much and decided upon a pair of classic beige sandals.
Regarding the other details of this ourfit I might say that the Selby Michael Kors bag together with this skirt will be my summer favorites and most probably you`ll see them quite a lot, if not here on blog, for sure on the other social media accounts ♥
Well, that`s it for today, I hope you like my new outfit and for more details check the I was wearing section.

Vacante de vara cu Deichmann
De cand m-am trezit, destul de tarziu ce este drept, ma uit la filmuletele realizate de mine si de altii si retraiesc acele clipe minunate de fericire si entuziasm. Stiam fiecare melodie si fiecare vers, iar preferata mea " She will be loved", care este de fapt preferata mea ever, s-a lasat ceva asteptata insa nu se putea incheia concertul fara ea.
Dar gata, nu va mai vorbesc de concert fiindca asta fac de aseara. Si o sa va vorbesc despre tinuta mea de astazi, inspirata de viitoarea vacanta in care o sa plec saptamana viitoare.
Ciao Italia... Roma, Naploli si Capri. Aceste destinatii ma duc mereu cu gandul la tinute albe la care sunt adaugate accesorii maro, precum aceste sandale extrem de comode de la Deichmann.
Si in timp ce scriam aceasta postare, chiar am realizat ac mai este foarte putin pana la mult asteptata mea vacanta. ♥ Cu siguranta aceasta tinuta o sa fie in bagaj si abia astept sa impartasesc cu voi poze din vacanta.
Voi ce tinuta ati alege pentru urmatoarea calatorie?
Va pup si va doresc o saptamana minunata,
Kisses, M ♥
Tinuta este compusa din:

Must have: Floral Print Dress!
I love this dress, I have seen it online for quite a while, maybe it`s already one year and never got the determination to buy it. But I finally made the order and now I completely love it and in combination with the red accessories is just perfect.
This pair of heels is one of my favorite. I wanted to own a red pair for a while but always ended up with casual ones. You can find a direct link to them and for sure you`ll love them too, since they are extremely comfy and qualitative ( made out of leather).
The Michael Kors Selma Medium Bag there is nothing much left to say. It`s a statement piece already and you should invest in one.
For more details check the I was wearing section and I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Kisses, Manuella ♥

Short hair and A change of Style
I don`t really understand why it was available for such a short period and even more because I did not change so much, but anyway, probably while you are reading my story, I`m on my way to take the steps needed in changing it.
And yes, in June, mid June to be precisely I will leave for a gorgeous holiday to Rome, Naples and we hope that we will be able to get to Capri too. I will share more at the right moment with you. But in the mean time, don`t forget to follow me on Snapchat, user: manuellalupascu for more live news and updates.
And again yes, this is not really my style with short hair and instead of a pair of feminine high heels to pick a pair of cut out boots, but it`s not that bad I believe.
Wish you all a wonderful day and wish me luck, because I will need all of it.
Kisses, M ♥

Almost Blue
By Keith Reddin
A Senior Thesis directed by Harris Allgeier
A Senior Thesis directed by Harris Allgeier
ALMOST BLUE is a stage noir set in a seedy rooming house. A man just out of prison trying to stay straight, a strange loner down the hall who writes pornographic greeting cards, a violent ex-con who wants to settle old scores. And of course, the beautiful woman in trouble, who messes with everybody's head. Written in a series of brutal, funny encounters, ALMOST BLUE is a journey into the dark night, full of plot twists and sultry exchanges.
