Painting With Watercolours: The Basics
Reeves Watercolour Paint Sets
Using Watercolour Paints
There are all sorts of watercolour pigments available, but really you only need the basic colours to start with, and plus you can mix them up with confidence later on, once you get the hang of using this popular painting medium.
Watercolours come in small packs of 6 to 12 and these are usually enough to begin watercolour painting with and watercolours aren't that expensive to buy either, it's just a matter of choosing the right paints you are comfortable with using, for me, I either use the Daler Rowney range or the Reeves range as they are quite good to use for me, but you may use other watercolour paints whatever you are comfortable with.
The basic colours are red, blue, yellow, green, brown, black and white and there could be some other shades of colour that might prove useful, but anyway your artist paints will build up over time, so just concentrate on the basics for beginning watercolour painting.
Quality paints do matter though and somewhere down the line good quality watercolour paints will be needed, so if you use the cheapest watercolour paints available then it's worth considering as your confidence grows with painting in watercolours.
Windsor & Newton Watercolour Brushes
Watercolour Paint brushes
Paint brushes for watercolour painting there are really only three ones you need when starting out, but again as you go alog on your watercolor travels, you will build up a painting tool kit with lots of brushes if you are serious.
The three main brushes you need when starting out are:
- A long bristled brush, usually called a Rigger is a great one for your beginning watercolouring, this brush is essential for painting in lines as the long point of the Rigger brush just seems to work quite well.
- A large flat brush - For painting in large watercolour washes on your painting.
- A round brush - For all the other paintwork that you need to achieve on your watercolour art.
As with paints, brushes come in all shapes and sizes and different spectrums of quality with synthetic fibre tips to the rare pure sable brushes, it's up to you on which you choose, but I recommend the Windsor and Newton brush range, as I am more at ease with using these quality artists brushes.
I myself have a mix of cheap and quality brushes that I use for varying things in watercolouring, from washes and glazes to fine detail work.

Watercolour Paper - What Type Is Best?
Again it all comes down to personal preference with watercolour paper as it would with drawing paper, there are a variety of types that are popular in their own right and two types that are a good choice are the hot pressed paper and cold pressed papers which all have many different textured surfaces for illustration work.
I tend to experiment alot with watercolour paper as some are better than others, although cartridge paper can be used for experimenting in watercolours more as it is a common paper to practice watercolour strokes on.
Light and heavy paper weights are also the standard choice to get around, with the heavier papers almost have the feel of card.
Acid free paper is also the best thing you can look for as discolouration of your delicate watercolor work can be extremly annoying.
Just buy whatever you like when it comes to paper types as you'll find your best paper to use in time, I use...
In Part 2 of our watercolour series, I will go over the basics of setting up your work area and beginning painting with a few projects I have in mind.
Watercolour Painting
I too have fell in love with watercolor pencils, but I also love working with oil pastels, soft pastels, acrylics and India Ink as well as oil. Watercolor pencils works very well though for line work to get those small details along with watercolor paint.
Great info. My one son is in love with and works with Watercolor pencils. Looking forward to the next one. :)

Movie Details
Murder becomes his passion
Addiction is the story of a young businessman, happily married to a sweet, understanding woman. After accidentally killing a mugger in self-defense, he is caught up in a flood of emotions he doesn't understand... Rage, excitement, joy, even lust. This need soon blossoms into desire, desperation and then total dependence, a desperate rush that he cannot live without.
And as he slowly alienates himself from his friends, his job, and the only woman who truly loves him, the downward spiral of his life takes hold and he soon finds he is no better off than the heroin junkies chasing ever-more-elusive highs in the dark alleys and forgotten hallways.

I posted some time ago about how I was planning on having ombre bridesmaids (each girl in a different dress and colour on a spectrum). Well finally here is the result (in one of my favourite shots of the day, I might add).
I have to say, it didn't turn out too bad at all!
Once I'm back from the honeymoon I'll try and write a full recap!

Who makes the choice? - the party platforms on abortion
Republicans call their 412-word statement "The Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life." Democrats call their 143-word statement "Protecting a Woman's Right to Choose."
Republicans link the "fundamental individual right to life" to the Declaration of Independence and, oddly, the Fourteenth Amendment (can fetuses then own property? should they be counted in legislative apportionments?). They support a human life amendment but do not specify what it should say. They oppose using tax money to "fund or subsidize health care which includes abortion coverage." Interestingly, though the pro-life article in the Republican platform says "child" or "children" five times (when referring to fetuses), the word "mother" does not appear. Nor is there any mention of possible exceptions for rape, incest, or danger to the pregnant woman's health or life.
Democrats, on the other hand, "strongly and unequivocally" support Roe v. Wade. Abortion, they say, "is an intensely personal decision between a woman, her family, her doctor, and her clergy; there is no place for politicians or government to get in the way."
Both Democrats and Republicans express concern for the pregnant woman who chooses to give birth. Democrats vow to provide "affordable health care and [ensure] the availability of an access to programs that help women during pregnancy and after the birth of a child, including caring adoption programs." Republicans "salute those who provide them with counseling and adoption alternatives and empower them to choose life." They say nothing about providing any material help to such women, however: apparently this is a task for the private sector.
Tomorrow I plan to comment on how a pro-life Christian can support the Democratic platform, including its right-to-choose paragraph. Or at least I'll start commenting. This topic is not as simple as some people make it, and blog posts are necessarily short.
*The entire GOP platform is available here; the entire Democratic platform, here.

Arlington, Virginia, August 15, 2012: World T.E.A.M. Sports' iconic Face of America ride from Washington, D.C. to the historic battlefields of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is returning April 26-28, 2013.
Bringing together veterans with disabilities, active duty military, retired military veterans, and civilians, the Face of America ride honors members of our national military and provides inspiration to those with disabilities.
While continuing the classic 110-mile two-day Washington to Gettysburg Face of America route in 2013, new options for riders who are seeking greater challenges will be offered. World T.E.A.M. Sports is adding two loop courses which will start and finish in Gettysburg. On Saturday and Sunday, two metric century (62 mile) loops will challenge riders. Participants may choose either or both of these loops, or the classic route. World T.E.A.M. Sports will coordinate route, water and rest stops and SAG support for all routes. The Sunday loop is scheduled to end at the late Corp. Seamus Garrahy's house in Gettysburg for a celebration with the arriving riders from the Washington ride.
Also new for 2013 is a Saturday evening dinner for participants of the two Gettysburg loop rides. This dinner is in addition to the classic Friday evening dinner for participants of the classic Washington to Gettysburg ride. The location for the Gettysburg dinner and additional event details will be released later in 2012.
Registration for the 2013 Face of America and the accompanying participant fundraising website will open in early December, 2012.
The Face of America was originally launched in 2000 as a cross-country ride with two teams of participants. In 2002 and 2003, the ride honored the victims of the September 2001 attacks on America, with participants riding from Ground Zero in New York to the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. Starting in 2006, the ride was redirected to its current Washington-Gettysburg location.
Funds raised through the ride pay for participating veterans with disabilities. Any additional funds are applied to other World T.E.A.M. Sports events, such as the annual Adventure TEAM Challenge in Colorado.

My research is focused on understanding the neurochemical mechanisms that support the reinforcing and motivating actions of abused drugs and lead to the development of addiction. My particular emphasis is how drugs of abuse induce changes in the delicate equilibrium between synaptic processes such as release, reuptake and synthesis of brain neurotransmitters in response to acute and repeated drug exposure. I am currently focused on the dysregulation of these neurochemical events in the mesolimbic and nigrostriatal dopamine systems during drug addiction. My primary objective is to combine cutting edge molecular and genetic techniques with sophisticated neurochemical approaches to understand how abused drugs dysregulate neurotransmission.

Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity At Clarkson University Recognized For Excellence
The Tau Epsilon Phi National Fraternity of Vorhees, N.J., has recognized its Clarkson University chapter for outstanding communications.
The award was announced at a recent Tau Epsilon Phi chancellors meeting in New Jersey. Accepting the award on behalf of the chapter was Clarkson chapter chancellor John Mrowka (Spencerport, N.Y.). The national fraternity officially presented the $250 award to the Clarkson chapter at its annual Easter dinner in Potsdam.
"Tau Epsilon Phi has been extremely proactive this semester and I am very pleased that their accomplishments have been recognized by their peers and the national staff," said Jason C. Libby, director of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. "This is the fifth chapter at Clarkson to be recognized for outstanding achievements by their national headquarters this year. These are positive reflections for not only the entire fraternity and sorority system but the institution as well."
Clarkson University fraternities and sororities must meet high standards of academic performance, conduct and community service. Last semester, the chapter succeeded in achieving cumulative grade-point averages of 2.9.
The Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity was founded at Columbia University in 1910 and has over 30 active chapters in the United States. The Clarkson chapter was formed in 1966 as the local fraternity Lambda Phi Epsilon before becoming a chapter of Tau Epsilon Phi less than a year later.

Another Successful Technology and Distance Learning Symposium. Thank you, Fresno!Posted on 04/01/2016
Fresno Adult School was the setting for the exciting and well-attended TDLS 16. During the March 11 and 12 event, approximately 40 sessions were offered. Topics included digital badging, interactive assessments, open educational resources, online collaboration, using mobile devices, resources for citizenship preparation, and more.
Two new features this year were the inclusion of live streaming in selected sessions and the APP-mazing Race. APP-mazing Race participants competed in four teams of peers they met for the first time. After using new apps or software programs and learning new tech skills, participants presented their APP-mazing Race challenges with their teammates in front of a cheering audience. A panel of judges were tasked with the very difficult job of choosing just one top-scoring team.
Dr. Devin Vodicka provided an inspirational keynote with poignant examples of how education positively impacts lives. The future of education will include an increase in the demand for 'knowledge workers' and our job as adult educators has never been more important. As a nationally-recognized digital-age leader, Dr. Vodicka believes in the four elements of trust (an essential component of developing a true learning community): consistency, compassion, communication, and competency. Finally, he shared what might be the two most important questions to ask when brainstorming change – Who cares? And what is possible here? Answering these questions can lead to amazing results!
Presentations for most sessions (including the Keynote) can be found on the OTAN Web site, at www.otan.us. Simply select the TDLS 16 icon and navigate to the desired schedule session.
If you were able to attend this year's TDL Symposium – thank you!
This is also a reminder to please take a few minutes to fill out our individual workshop evaluations, and our overall Symposium evaluation. We're asking that you complete the evaluation before April 10, 2016.
We hope you learned a lot and will plan to join us March 10-11, 2017 in Anaheim when our host will be North Orange County Community College District.

US carrier Verizon Wireless and radio and concert behemoth Clear Channel say they'll team up to offer concert footage on Verizon's EV-DO "V CAST" service. What they're calling the Encore Channel will show broadcasts from concerts (presumably at CC-owned venues) a couple days after the event for a week at a time. The press release linked above has a schedule through the end of the summer, and it's pretty stacked. The PR isn't totally clear, but it reads as if it will be video content. Also, access to the channel will be included in users' monthly V CAST access fee.
This is an interesting proposition, and supports the idea that with its gigantic holdings in radio and concerts, Clear Channel could emerge as a significant player in mobile music. While the young space needs somebody to champion early efforts, the impact CC has had on radio and the greater American music landscape hasn't been too positive, so hopefully the same won't happen here.

GI Joe: Retaliation actresses Adrianne Palicki and Elodie Yung did not let heavy rain spoil the UK premiere of their film.
Adrianne, 29, who plays Lady Jaye, braved the wet weather in a blush-pink floor-length satin gown with plunging neckline by Temperley London, while Yung, who portrays Jinx, picked a sleeveless black dress by Louis Vuitton.
The pair were joined by co-stars Dwayne Johnson, Jonathan Pryce, Ray Stevenson, DJ Cotrona, Lee Byung-hun and director Jon M Chu in London's West End.
Wrestler-turned-actor Johnson, also known by his ring moniker The Rock, revealed he did not mind the rain.
"I love it. I lived here last year when we filmed Fast Six and I always love coming back to London," he said.
"I love this franchise and have done since I was a kid. Not only that but I got a second shot to re-elevate the franchise. If I can come in and help in any way, I will do it."

June 16, 2008 09:30 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 16, 2008) - Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MRO) ("Millrock" or the "Company"), along with its partner Alix Resources Corp. (Alix) is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2008 exploration program at the Divide Project, near Nome, Alaska.
Millrock will operate the exploration program. The total project budget is $1.5 million, with costs borne equally by the partners. The program will consist of:
- Lithological and structural mapping
- Reverse Circulation drilling of approximately 3,600 meters in 25 to 30 holes
- Trenching and channel sampling
Philip St. George, Vice-President of Exploration for Millrock, states: "The Divide Project offers an excellent opportunity to develop a high grade, near-surface gold resource. There is a lot of gold in this mineralizing system. The key to discovery of an economically exploitable resource at Divide is identifying places where structures intersect brittle rock units conducive to formation of large vein systems and stockworks. The aggressive program we are about to embark upon will determine whether such zones are present on the property."
The initial target area will be the Stoneman prospect. At this location, visible gold is observed at surface in talus and weathered, broken bedrock. At the Saddle Zone, one kilometer to the southwest, previous trench sampling returned values of 16.21 g/t gold over 16.76 m. However, holes drilled by prior operators immediately undercutting the trench did not provide results of similar magnitude. To resolve the discrepancy, and to expose the mineralization for thorough observation and evaluation, the company will excavate a large trench or open cut. An excavator will be used to strip overburden, and explosives will be used to expose fresh bedrock, and clearly expose the mineralization for channel sampling. The Stoneman and Saddle zones will be undercut with a series of relatively closely spaced reverse circulation drill holes. The objective of this portion of the program is to determine if high grade chutes are present in the vein system, and if so, to delineate the resource. If the results warrant, a bulk sample will be collected in a contingent, late season program. Several holes will be drilled to test a strong soil anomaly between the Stoneman and Saddle zones, and another parallel soil anomaly to the southeast.
The Divide Property is located in the prolific Cape Nome mining district about 45 kilometers north of Nome, Alaska. Access to the property is via the Nome-Taylor highway which crosses the eastern boundary of the 1,424 ha claim block. Millrock can earn a 50% interest in the project from Alix by paying 50% of all costs associated with the Divide Option, and a total of US$500,000 over a five year period. Additionally Millrock will issue 500,000 shares of the Company to Alix. Millrock is the exploration operator.
Underlain by structurally deformed, retrograde greenschist facies metasediments (turbidites and related deep water sediments); the rocks at the Divide Property are of late Proterozoic to Paleozoic age. These same rocks are the source of the alluvial gold deposits of the Nome camp, where approximately five million ounces of gold has been produced by placer mining methods. The Rock Creek Mine, a lode mine currently being commissioned by NovaGold Resources Inc., is located approximately 33 kilometers to the southwest. Gold mineralization at Rock Creek is hosted in a similar geological setting to that at Divide.
Gregory A. Beischer, President & CEO of the Company is the qualified person who prepared or supervised the preparation of the technical information that forms the basis of this news release.
Millrock Resources Inc. is a TSX Venture Exchange listed company intent upon the discovery of high value mineral deposits, with a focus on Alaska and Arizona. Millrock currently has five active exploration projects in Alaska, and three in Arizona.

Swedish Exhibition and Congress Centre Gothenburg, Sweden
The Göteborg Book Fair is celebrating the 250th anniversary of the world's first Freedom of the Press Act by putting the annual focus on freedom of expression. The event will take place in on 22-25 September 2016 and will include an extensive number of seminars – with 821 participants from 38 countries – covering subjects within and beyond the condition for freedom of expression in Sweden and throughout the world.
On 22 September University of Borås will host two PERICLES events: a seminar on making accessible digital content to future generations with invited panelists from Sweden and a workshop presenting and demonstrating tools developed as part of the PERICLES project.
Time: 12:00- 12:45
Location: Svenska Mässan, Gothenburg, Sweden
Music, photographs, videos, scientific data and art are all examples of content which is now stored digitally. How are the institutions that are collecting enormous amounts of digital content – libraries, museums, archives and research institutes – going to make sure that the material is accessible in the future as well? 100 years from now, will we even know what an iPod was? If our grandchildren find a CD, will they be able to listen to the music stored on it? This will be a discussion based on the latest findings on digital preservation from the European scientific project PERICLES and the current experiences of major players in digital preservation.
With: Efstratios Kontopoulos, PERICLES researcher (CERTH-ITI, Center for Research & Technology Hellas), Christine Sauter, PERICLES Project Manager (King's College London), Maria Cavallin Aijmer, fil. dr. (Department of History Studies, University of Gothenburg), Sanja Halling (Digisam, Swedish National Archives), Peter Voisey (Findwise), Bengt Neiss (National Library of Sweden), Göran Kristiansson (Swedish National Archives, eARD project manager). Moderator: Nasrine Olson, (The Swedish School of Library and Information Science (SSLIS) at the University of Borås).
Live stream on Youtube: https://youtu.be/QpoNanvKEsU
Time: 14:00 - 17:00
Location: near Svenska Mässan, Gothenburg, Sweden. Specific location details will be sent to those registered.
Members of the PERICLES consortium will introduce different tools related to metadata extraction, ontology population, ecosystem modelling, visualisation of evolving ecosystems and semantics, and their role in the overall model-driven preservation approach promoted by PERICLES.
More details about the event are available at https://www.hb.se/en/about-ub/current/events/demonstration-workshop/

I have three Dell XPS desktops (two 8700 and one 8300) and two Buffalo NAS units connected to my home network. When I run Buffalo NAS Navigator V 2.82 (the latest version) on one of the 8700s is see the following communication errors from both NAS units (the other 8700 desktop shown no errors):
When they errors are expanded they are "drive info not returned" and "error info not returned." I can browse the shares on both units, both through Navigator and my Windows 10 PC with no problems. I can create and delete files just as I always have and I can log into then through the browser function and no errors are reported. Clearly both units are operating correctly, or so it would appear. I've uninstalled NAS Navigator and reinstalled but the communication error notices persist. I have the latest version of Navigator (2.82) and the firmware on both NAS units is current. The last time I used NAS Navigator on 4/13 there were no communication errors. I'm running Win 10 V 10586.218 on both desktops. Any thoughts about what might be causing this on one desktop and not the other and how I mighty be able to fix it?
Update: I found this event log entry from the first failure of NAS Navigator. Anyone with any additional ideas?

Sorry to have to do the media's homework for it, but Corbyn's voting record shows that he did not even approve the UN liberation of Kuwait. So like all fundamentalist pacifists he is quite happy with the doctrine that Might is Right, and that the most powerful force should be allowed to overcome any neighbours it requires for its purposes. And that we should just 'mind our own business'. He is quite happy to give a green light to superpower domination of the world. Only in this case, one of the superpowers would be Daesh.
Corbyn seems to think that he is 'learning from the past', when in fact he is repeating the classic common error of mistaking the current war for the last one. He seems to believe that Daesh are a sovereign state like Iraq (but not Kuwait) which the dastardly West seeks to overthrow for its own nefarious purposes. It is nothing of the kind. And while it has to be defeated economically and spiritually, it also has to be defeated militarily. It is not its religion or 'ideology' which gave it the auru of invincibility so irresistible to the alienated of all ages and religions, but its easy military conquests. When they end, potential Daeshniks from the alienated and hopeless classes will doubt their messiah. And so in fact, airstrikes would ultimately help to make Paris and London safer. Despite the fact that in the next day or so, Daesh will almost certainly announce that should Britain join the air-campaign against them, they will retaliate against London, or a British target.
When the Daesh fantasy of its own banana republic is in the dust, its disease will still be at large, and it will adapt to do its worst. But it will do that anyway. Allowing millions to be imprisoned in a vast insane concentration camp is not the answer to europe's security problems.
Europe will be even safer when trillions are spent on the devastated countries, as should have happened in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya (and the Soviet Bloc). Which would be the economic part of the solution. And even safer when the ultimate root-cause of ultra-alienation and fanaticism is eradicated, and the spiritual solution implemented. But nobody much, especially Corbyn, is prepared yet to even think about eradicating Consumerism. If he was, he might get a real following, not just the desperate and obedient.

Shannon Forrest featured in new book by Off The Rails presenters
A Clonmel woman says she was "jumping out of her skin with delight" to be featured twice in a new book launched by Sonya Lennon and Brendan Courtney, the presenters of the television style programme Off The Rails.
Your Best You is aimed at helping Irish women look their best, no matter what their budget. Shannon Forrest from Irishtown is one of the models pictured in the book and she was also honoured to have her shop Kwilla, which she operates in Kilkenny, included among approximately 100 countrywide stores included in its shopping guide.
The book has been described by its authors as Irish women celebrating what they've got and dressing to show off their best features.
Shannon's accessories shop Kwilla is located in Rose Inn Street, Kilkenny.
The book was launched at a reception at Reiss in Dublin, when Shannon was joined by her mother Sheila.
"It's getting women to make the most of what they have," says Sonya Lennon.
The celebrity stylist is tired of the 'plastic fantastic' look most Irish girls go for. "There's too much 'plastification' going on. I'm not a fan of the Jodie Marsh or Jordan look, I prefer women like Ali Hewson or Amy Huberman.
I'm all about enhancing what you've got, not changing it. Irish girls are beautiful enough without gluing in fake hair and painting their bodies a different colour. Celebrate what you've got."

I so hope you're enjoying #Choctoberfest as much as we are! This event, put on and organized by Allison of The PinterTest Kitchen, has truly been a blast!
For this next post, I'm sharing an extremely memorable dessert using one of the two products sent to us by the Caveman Coffee Co.! Their Blacklisted roasted coffee beans! And those magical little coffee beans are being put to good use already! They also sent cacao butter as well, but that will be used in an upcoming recipe! So stay with me, you won't want to miss any of the #Choctoberfest recipes! 😉
Their Blacklisted blend is truly a very superb coffee bean, that's selectively rich, dark, and complex. Just absolutely exquisite! I received their Blacklisted blend of single origin Arabica beans that were grown in Cauca, Colombia at 5,515 ft. above sea level, and roasted at 7,000 ft.! These guys know their coffee!
I wanted to create a decadent treat from these delightful, aromatic beans, and my heart leapt straight for something rich and decadent! Something that makes your eyes roll back in your head and your knees weak at first bite. 😉 So I created just that. And yes, my hubby did actually close his eyes at first bite, too!! Best compliment there is! I really think you're going to fall in love with this one!
So, there are basically just two parts to this dessert. Then to finish, just dust top with powdered sugar and drizzle with whatever sauces you like. It's easiest to cut when cold, but for ultra-sinfully deliciousness, pop your slice into the microwave at 60% for about 15 seconds to warm it just a bit. Chocolate. NIRVANA.
Here are a few quickie shots of it being put together, because I never want people to worry when they're making one of recipes and say, "Am I making this right? Is this what it's supposed to look like when I do this part?" I hate that feeling of uncertainty, don't you? So here is how it's done and will look. So no worries, life is too short for that. 😉
And….tadaaaaaaah! See? Easy-peasy!! But this massively decadent, show-stopper dessert sure doesn't taste "easy". 😉 This dessert is one of my hubby's favorites! Which I find shocking, because he's never one for "decadent" cakes. Normally he prefers "fluffy" cakes. But this….is the total exception. He actually said this last time that I made this, that it was probably one the best desserts I've ever made. (I think the Caveman Coffee Co. had a hand in that! 😉 )
Many thanks to the Caveman Coffee Co. for being one of this year's Silver Sponsors and helping to make #Choctoberfest such a great success, (and making me look like a rock star!!) *Be sure to follow them on their website, Twitter, and Facebook pages!
Here are today's recipes from participating bloggers from around the world getting together for #Choctoberfest! Please be sure to click on their recipes!
And don't forget to go to the main page of this event for all of #Choctoberfest's info and enter the INCREDIBLE Giveaway!!! You'll find everything you need to enter right {here}!!
Have a wonderful day, see you again soon, and ENJOY!!!
- First Layer:
- 1 shot of espresso made from fine ground Caveman Coffee, cooled to room temp
- 1 box classic dark chocolate fudge moist cake mix
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1 Tbl. Kahlua Liqueur
- 2 extra large eggs
- Second Layer:
- 1 (1 pound box) powdered sugar
- 1 (8 oz.) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 Tbl. Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur
- ¾ cup coconut
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- ⅓ cup nicely chopped pecans (added *after* first 10 min of baking)
- Topping:
- more powdered sugar
- chocolate sauce drizzle
- caramel sauce drizzle
- Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease and flour a 13x9 pan, set aside.
- In mixer bowl, mix First Layer ingredients together *EXCEPT the liqueur and eggs. When mixed, scraping bowl and paddle well and beating again until well mixed, beat in the last two, again scraping bowl and paddle to ensure everything is well mixed getting everything from the bottom, etc. (*Batter will be very thick). Pour into prepared pan, use a spatula to get it all, and spread evenly with the back of a spoon or an offset knife until bottom of pan is evenly filled working it to the edges. Wash and dry bowl.
- In clean mixer bowl, beat cream cheese, beat in powdered sugar until crumbly, scrape bowl and paddle well, add rest of Second Layer ingredients *EXCEPT pecans, and beat until smooth and well mixed. (*Scrape bowl and paddle half way through and beat agin to get everything mixed). Evenly and carefully pour and spread second layer over first layer.
- Pop into preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven, and evenly sprinkle with chopped pecans. Pop back into oven and continue baking for 30 - 33 more minutes (depending on your oven) until center is just set and no longer jiggly. *Just do not over bake.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle top fairly heavily with some more powdered sugar. Let cool in pan. Slice into 20-24 bars or up to 48 small squares. Store in fridge in a tupperware or tight-sealing plastic container or cake holder. (I leave them in the pan and only cut what's going to be eaten at the moment to keep them from drying out, and keep them chilled in my old tupperware cake container.)
- When completely cool, cut into bars and place onto serving plate. Drizzle tops of each bar with chocolate and caramel sauces before serving.
- *An offset knife helps to get these out of the pan easier.
Disclaimer: Though this company sent me product to try, any and all opinions are solely my own.

jeanpsf: Anyone have any idea when Telecom might push out an ICS update? I know some S2 owners who got it almost 3 weeks ago and am feeling jealous;-] looks so slick. I'd love to root it, but I hear about the risks of getting bricked.
I have a Telecom HTC Sensation as well....and I'm also a little green around the edges because the Vodafone Sensations got theirs over a month ago.
I'm not in any rush...Android 2.3 does everything I want at this point...
But in a month or two I may consider rooting the phone and going off the reservation.

Set for release August 4th on Steam, Mervils: A VR Adventure from Indi developers Vitruvius will initially offer support for both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift with future plans for a Playstation VR release.
The Story
"Mervils" brings the look of classic platformers to the world of VR and unfolds a very hobbit-like adventure story on the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. Your journey begins in the picturesque Mervil Kingdom, where you learn the history of the jolly Mervil people and of their one great enemy, "Balazar the Evil" who has not been seen in the lands for centuries. You quickly discover that there are 5 vast Mervil Worlds to explore in the Kingdom and that the Worlds are protected by a magical force-field, bound by the Great Mervil Book. Year after year, the power of this Great Book has diminished and now at the time of greatest weakness, Balazar has plotted his return and seeks to destroy you and the rest of the Mervil people. It's up to one brave hero, to collect the lost pages, rebind the Great Book, and defeat Balazar once and for all. In order to be victorious, your VR specific skills are required.
Challenging VR Quests
Your character explores the 5 worlds in "third-person" accompanied by a jolly Celtic melody throughout. Although, it's not a solely third-person adventure game, you interact with other Mervils and battle enemies like Darthate the Dragon, Ramaug the Fire Demon, and the Rock Monster, Morax, all from a first-person point of view.
Throughout the Worlds you will need to balance on tight ropes, aim ballistas, launch catapults, throw darts and solve some of the most challenging mind based puzzles. Most of the skills you learn are not accustom to non-VR games and will challenge you to think outside typical 2D boundaries. Despite Balazar's return, the Kingdom is not always an enemy infested and challenging place, the Mervils are a happy folk, they love to have fun, and each has their own story to tell.
Fun filled Adventure & Exploration
With the 5 portals located around the Mervil Castle, you can easily jump from riding a mine-cart in the Wild West, to skiing slippery slopes in the Arctic, to sailing your Pirate ship and blasting away your enemies in the Tropic World.
With third-person platforming, stylistic worlds reminiscent of Mario 64, a hobbit-like atmosphere, and a powerful enemy that seeks to destroy the very world itself, "Mervils" creates an immersive cartoon community, culture, and fun filled world in VR.
Play Modes
Mervils can currently be played on the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift but a gamepad will be needed to platform throughout the worlds. But that doesn't mean it's a sitdown game. Mervils can be played in a standing/ roomscale position and offers a "Blink" and "smooth follow" camera option for a customized and comfortable experience. *Mervils will also be releasing on PlayStationVR this Fall*

Rotoprofessor's Week 3 Fantasy Football Sleepers
Written by Eric Stashin the Rotoprofessor
It was not a very good week for my sleeper picks for Week 2 (click here for the original article)
JaMarcus Russell – 7-24, 109 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT
LeSean McCoy – 5 carries for 18 yards; 4 receptions for 37 yards
Antwaan Randle-El – 4 receptions for 39 yards
Vernon Davis – 2 receptions for 32 yards
Wow, none of those players did much to help fantasy owners. Keep in mind that these weekly picks are always going to be extremely risky, that's why they are considered sleepers. They are more along the lines of those who have the potential to breakout and can be used in case of an emergency.
So, with that said, let's take a look at some deep sleepers for the upcoming fantasy week:
Jason Campbell – Washington Redskins – @ Detroit
He really hasn't been that bad, throwing for 453 yards, but only 1 TD and 1 INT. His season did kick off against the New York Giants, where he faced constant pressure from one of the elite defenses in the game. Last week he had the Rams, a team far less imposing. Though they failed to find the end zone, he did throw for 242 yards.
This week the Redskins face another sub par defensive unit in the Lions, a team who has allowed 255.5 yards per game in the early going, as well as 8 TD threw the air, by far the most in the league (second place is 5). While Drew Brees and company are partially to blame, we all honestly know that they just aren't the best defense in the league.
Campbell also has Santana Moss at his disposal, a player who is just aching to have a huge breakout performance. He had over 1,000 yards receiving last season, but to date has just 41 yards on 5 catches. This week could easily be his coming out party, and with it should come a solid performance from Campbell, making owners in two-QB leagues happy.
Owned in 30% of Yahoo Leagues and 21.9% of ESPN Leagues
Chansi Stuckey – New York Jets – vs. Tennessee
The Titans have given up the most receiving yards in the game, at 339/game over the season's first two weeks. Mark Sanchez, who was limited in the first half to just five throws, went off in the second half and really showed that he has the potential to put up strong games no matter what the circumstances.
Stuckey has shown that he has a good rapport with the rookie, completing 8 passes for 101 yards and 1 TD. The Jets have shown that they are willing to put the game in the hands of the passing group and given the struggles of the Titans defense, this could be the week that he really has a big game.
Owned in 14% of Yahoo Leagues and 7.9% of ESPN Leagues
Ricky Williams – Miami Dolphins – vs. San Diego
It is Ronnie Brown who garners most of the attention in Miami, thanks to the focus he gets in the Wildcat formation. Williams, however, has been extremely impressive in the early going and certainly has the potential to bring value in those leagues that use a flex option.
He has rushed for 108 years on 26 carries, averaging over 4 yards per carry, while also catching 3 passes for 22 yards and a TD. The Chargers are in the bottom ten in the league in rushing yards allowed (139 per game), facing two teams that do not focus as strong a running game as the Dolphins (Raiders & Ravens).
Look for the Dolphins to try and hammer out the running game once again, which could bring a big game for Williams.
Owned in 34% of Yahoo Leagues and 66.7% of ESPN Leagues
How do you think these players are going to perform in the season's first week? Are there any other sleepers you are eyeing?

Innovative campaign for Drug Free Kids Canada uses a technological twist to drive home the dangers of high driving.
Horrific crashes. Mangled vehicles. Broken families left to pick up the pieces. All are images that have been used in anti-drunk and high driving PSAs over the years – yet one of the biggest challenges for advocacy groups is convincing the intended target the message applies to them.
Drug Free Kids Canada is hoping to change that perception with "The Call That Comes After," an immersive transmedia experience created by FCB/SIX that combines online elements with a real-world mobile component that shockingly – and unexpectedly – drives home the dangers of high driving.
Running through June, the pro bono campaign is intended to start a conversation between parents and teens about the dangers of driving high, using a device central to teens' lives: their phone.
The journey begins at TheCallThatComesAfter.com, where parents create a custom video for their teen. They are asked to input their child's name and mobile number, as well as the name or nickname they use for a parent on their mobile device (eg: "mom").
A video is then sent to the intended recipient (their teenage child), showing a group of likeable teens that make the fateful decision to drive after smoking marijuana. The video culminates with a crash, followed by a series of frantic texts from a parent asking if they are okay.
The message then makes an unexpected jump to real-life as the same increasingly frantic messages begin appearing on the teen's phone, abruptly transforming them from a passive viewer to an active participant in the narrative. The synchronicity of the user experience is achieved through the unprecedented integration of five technology platforms: IBM's Marketing Cloud, Oracle Marketing Cloud, SMS, YouTube and an on-demand video rendering engine.
Studies show that driving high nearly doubles the risk of an accident, but a recent study commissioned by DFK Canada found that nearly one third (32%) of teens feel driving high is not as risky as drunk driving, while one in four high school seniors say they have ridden in a car with a high driver.
"Starting a conversation is the most important step parents can take toward helping their children make better life choices," says Drug Free Kids' Executive Director, Marc Paris. "Education and ongoing communication are essential."
The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police Drug Abuse Committee supports this campaign. "Recent studies have shown that youth do not believe drug impaired driving poses the same risks as driving under the influence of alcohol," says Mike Serr, Co-Chair, of the Drug Advisory Committee. "As we move towards legalizing marijuana it is more important than ever to correct this misconception. We applaud Drug Free Kids Canada's innovative campaign which will generate dialogue and awareness on this important issue."
"Research shows that parents are one of the biggest influence on their kids when it comes to drug abuse, so we took an approach of reaching out to parents directly to help get the message to their kids, with an innovative use of technology that we thought would best grab their kid's attention," adds Vicki Waschkowski, Managing Director, FCB/SIX.
The 6.2 million member Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) is also pleased to support this campaign. "It's important that kids get the message that driving high can wreck lives," says Jeff Walker, vice-president of public affairs for CAA. "This campaign combines two of the major influences in teens' lives – social media and their parents – to bring that home."
This project is the embodiment of technology-driven 1:1 work that FCB/SIX believes is the future of advertising. "We delivered on the client's objectives by integrating all digital communications into one platform," says Ian Mackenzie, Executive Creative Director, FCB/SIX. "Data capture allowed us to bring real-time personalization to each recipient, using it to render each video with a highly personalized and targeted message, and to integrate video, e-mail, online and SMS into one seamless experience."
Posted above is a sample of the customizable video that is sent to the teen.

A publicist says Jennifer Jones, who was nominated for Academy Awards five times and won for her portrayal of a saintly nun in "The Song of Bernadette," has died at age 90.
Leslie Denk, spokeswoman for the Norton Simon Museum, says Jones died Thursday at her home in Malibu. Her only son, Robert Walker, was at her side.
Jones, the widow of museum founder Norton Simon, was deeply involved in overseeing the Simon during her later years.
She was one of Hollywood's biggest stars in the 1940s and '50s, appearing in such films as "Duel in the Sun," "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing" and "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit."

The reason I am satisfied is that to me, most of what goes on with the US federal government amounts to little more than boring conversation I don't even enjoy taking part in. This is the truth for most of us out there--well aside from whether or not each person actually enjoys talking about it. The fact is that the government is NOT an issue for us. We are protected, we are not bothered unnecessarily, we are treated equally, and we are given opportunity where it is due, for the most part, here in the US. The real individualistic "problems" we point to are usually just anomalies talked endlessly about on sensationalizing media shows. And what we hear from other people are usually just pity-parties where the storyteller in question blames aspects of his shameful life on the inhibitors instituted by the politician or party he and his friends think will make themselves seem the smartest for disparaging.
I think that the Federal Government is in our better interest. I believe that it's a great backbone to support this nation upon, and I would love to be a part of it's systems one day. The Federal branch may have it's quirks, but everything does. It's no mystery that the pros of it weigh out the cons.
Honestly, the federal government has been slowly but surely declining over the past several decades. I'm talking more than just the Bush II/Obama era, it goes further than that, and a lot of the problem is actually in Congress. Congress needs a severe overhaul, and yet we keep electing the same career politicians who do nothing towards helping the United States improve. Term limits and salary caps, among other issues, are definitely required. I believe in less Big Government and more State Rights. We also need to have better rules about lobbying, and accepting money from lobbyists. There is no one so virtuous that they cannot be bought, and yet we allow the very people who claim to be our voice do just that.
The current government is a mess, things take to long to get approved or appealed. They bicker and argue about things that are not relevant to the current situation in this country. I think the government needs to allow the people it represents more ways to get involved and to monitor what they spend and do. Tax laws, welfare, defense, etc... Need to be over hauled. If necessary combine many of the smaller programs into one to become more efficient. Welfare spending needs to be cut ( stop letting lazy people live off working peoples money), make a more efficient tax law. Education needs increased spending, stop paying farmers to grow crops that require large amounts of water (ie Rice), or not to grow anything at all, help farmers get more efficient farms equipment. Cut foreign aid and use that money to fix the aging infrastructure in this country. Tax companies that have factories in China where they make the goods then ship them here just because it's a lot cheaper. Limit the term per senator ( maybe 8 years max just like a president), Have equal or as close to equal number of political parties so neither party has an advantage with pure numbers over another. It could force the senate to look at issues and solution in a more logical manor than arguing just to try and make it so their name is remembered. I could careless who it was that came up with a feasible idea to fix this country just as long as they do it and it doesn't go in a merry-go-round within the senate until it's so screwed up that it just gets dismissed.
Those are just some of the things I can think of that need and should be fixed, updated, and/or overhauled.
Your thoughts are welcomed, please refrain from flaming others based on their opinions and ideas.
Best regards,
When politicians support those that are not citizens, I thought that was illegal. I thought it would be, as politician represent the American people.
To represent any non-American without the approval of the American citizen should be treason.
I can not rationalize a government official taking a stance of protecting people that do not even have a right to vote, This is ludacris,. Our country was founded by immigrants, we do not discriminate, but to allow anyone to take a stance against our founding fathers written laws and constitution, before being acknowledged as an American is simply against the law.
To allow a government officials to publicly state what they feel is the right of a non-American is what I thought was against the law.
We need to get a hold of our government. The people rule this country, not our politician. They are elected to represent AMERICANS, and when they take a stance against the President of our country, they should be imprisoned.
The stinking government thinks that it can make any laws it wants to without any trouble. If big riots happen, it can fearlessly send a bunch of stinking coppers over without any trouble. I'm not saying the riots are a good thing, I'm just saying they are taking advantage of their extensive powers.
Our law makers no longer stand for anything. The state of Congress has been to follow the leader, stick to party lines, and only do something that helps Americans when their jobs are coming up for reelection. Term limits would ensure our government has fresh ideas and end the Washington insider club.
Very little legislation gets bipartisan support from Congress. And many times, bills that do have bipartisan support take away our rights. Our voting system creates the 2-party system, which shuns other views for 2 main ones.
Both parties what to spend, spend, spend! If one party got their own way, and the other one didn't, our deficit wouldn't be as high (Social Security and other programs would be in part funded by drastically cut defense spending, and vice versa). But we have extremely spending for both sides. All while we don't have universal healthcare, quality education, and many of the rights our founders gave us.
Big corporations on Wall Street are able to lobby individual Congresspeople by use of the bribe, and it works, to the detriment of small businesses and the community.
The United States thinks it can get itself involved with, either with sanctions or actual military force, nearly every major foreign event.
Other developed countries have relatively sensible Government. Let's learn lessons from them.
The government is doing bad!You need evidence?Look around you!Obama is trying to focus on gun control while our nations debt is going up so fast!I originally voted for Obama but now I am think I should of voted for Romney.Our government is spending too much on fossil fuels instead of space exploration, better ways to get energy etc!
When you really think about the way that Congress does things, its pretty scary. Then again we have problems like this because people DON'T think about the way Congress does things. People don't stop and realize that what the left wing is doing is taking away money from large businesses and giving it to stupid things like stimulus and other Government controlled waste. The Democrats have control of Washington because people could care less and because the GOP is split because of the libertarians and other third party groups. Until the Libertarians realise that Ron Paul is just going to die sooner or later and he had no chance, we have NO chance at a stable Government.

Analysis: Sky channels joining Freesat
Today's official announcement that Sky's Pick TV, Challenge and News channels would be launching on Freesat has been met with great jubilation across internet forums and social media.
While viewers will welcome the greater choice, it may come at a price for Freesat: Sky has now gained a foothold to promote its channels and services to Freesat viewers. Both Pick TV and Challenge feature promotions and trailers for Sky's subscription channels and services several times an hour. Sky News also heavily cross-promotes other offerings from Sky.
In contrast to Freeview viewers, Sky is all too aware that many ex-Sky subscribers may have switched to Freesat, keeping their old Sky dish and may consider these viewers as being easier to persuade back. Other Freesat viewers already have the required dish for Sky, so any switch would be made easier for them, too.
However, with Sky leading the way, it may persuade other broadcasters, such as UKTV - owners of the Yesterday, Really and Dave TV channels to join the growing Freesat platform in 2013. The addition of more channels - and more HD channels in 2013 may keep viewers happy enough to stay with Freesat or even encourage Freeview viewers to make the switch to offset any effect from Sky's promotions....
Sky's three Freeview channels join Freesat (a516digital.com, 01/12/2012)
Pick TV, Challenge and Sky News join Freesat on Monday, 3rd December 2012

July - Très Riches Heures
21 comments:
Hello Rosemary, It is very interesting to consider the instruments used by artists of older times. A lot of Egyptian tools--palettes, reed brushed, bronze chisels, etc., have been recovered, and of course many Chinese "scholars' objects".ReplyDelete
The one conclusion that keeps coming up is that the best and most detailed work was often accomplished with the simplest implements.
--Road to ParnassusReplies
Hello Jim - you are right - they do say that a poor workman blames his tools - but the simplest of implements in the hands of those that are skilled proves this to be wrong.Delete
How beautiful. Have you read The Morville Hours? I loved it - a book of hours for the garden.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for another reading tip - I am in the middle of reading your other recommendation - The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. I am really enjoying it as he passes right through the area where I live on his journey.Delete
Another beautiful instalment of the Heures, Rosemary. I can never see too much of that gorgeous blue, which reminds of the Notre Dame Cathedrals. The blue-robed figure in the foreground appears to be floating, in the most charming way, and rather like the Pre-Raphaelite paintings of the 19th century. Lovely!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Your are right Patricia - William Morris and the brotherhood not only admired the Renaissance painters, but were also medievalists - I wonder if they observed Très Riches Heures?Delete
Blogger not complying, never.....hahaha!ReplyDelete
Seriously though, the illustration is wonderful, such detail and lovely vivid blues. Suzy xReplies
Dear Suzy - we are very quick to blame blogger, but I am sure that I most likely did not press "done" in order to complete the schedule - the colours and details in Très Riches Heures are beautiful.Delete
This is fascinating, Rosemary. The illustrations of the Duc de Berry's manuscript are beautiful, so it's interesting to read how they were created. Thank you for the link about Bee Guardians on your last post, too - I'm going to explore the initiatives on the website further.ReplyDeleteReplies
I love the illuminated manuscripts Wendy - the details and colours are exquisite.Delete
Glad you found the link of interest - I am in the process of having a bee skep made by a local craftsman for my garden.
Très interesant!ReplyDelete
Très bon Marina.Delete
Dear Rosemary,ReplyDelete
I like Jim's comment because I have often thought along the same line. I see houses being built today with amazing tools, and yet the craftsmanship is lacking. Conversely, I look at the cathedrals that were built hundreds of years ago with cruder tools, and they are to perfection. Perhaps we need a resurgence of guilds.Replies
Dear Mark - we have just been wandering amongst a dense collection of megalithic sites and marvelling at how on earth they moved, manipulated and lifted such enormous boulders 5000 years ago.Delete
Looks good, I only had a problems once with scheduling but that was my mistake.ReplyDelete
I am sure that the mistake was mine - I did it rather hastily as we were going away.Delete
How beautiful - thank you for sharing this Rosemary.ReplyDelete
Hey, see we are reading the same book - just started it and am already engrossed as it begins near my Devon home - I should have plenty of plane reading time tomorrow as I'm off to California - see you later!
Hugs - Mary
As ever Rosemary I absolutely adore the Tres Riches Heures and the colours are splendid. As you know I touched upon the beautiful illustrated manuscript on my recent studies and still have a passion for it. I love the way the star signs are illustrated in them. July is my birthday month and I particularly love this one. Thank you.ReplyDelete
Patricia x
These illuminations are so glorious. Thanks for the interesting technical background, Rosemary. I look forward to learning more.ReplyDelete
Wonderful painting - and thank you for pointing me in the direction of an interesting novel!ReplyDelete
how beautiful and interesting, I always learn new things on your blog! thanks a lot dear Rosemary:-)ReplyDelete

It's hard to stay on top of all the new eateries around the city. And when you've never been, it's even harder to pick out the Perfect Outfit. Rest assured, we've spent many a pre-dinner, pre-game hour changing clothes when we should be sipping champs. So, to help eliminate dress-code dilemmas, we're bringing you stellar outfit inspiration for what to wear to a trip of just-opened hotspots. Whether it's a Fashion Week dinner party at Acme, a double-date at The Toucan & The Lion, or a casual brunch at Bowery Diner, mealtime is the time to put your personal style on blast. Play off these three looks, and we promise you'll be an enviable regular in no time. Now all you need is a reservation...
We all know the pain of waking up after a night out. And the only fix for your pounding head is a brunch that rivals the chicness of the previous evening's events. Look no further than Bowery Diner. Trust us, when you're craving a cure-all, an alcoholic milkshake and a shitake omelet look and taste like heaven. Sure, it may say "diner," but the food is as tasty and the atmosphere as humming as any pricier brunch spot around, and there's no denying that comfort food's the best kind to ease your wake-up woes. We suggest keeping your look casual and cool: A baggy sweater and some booties make perfect pairs to light colored jeans and a cross-body bag.
Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans in Bright White, $176, available at Rag & Bone, 73 East Houston Street (at Elizabeth Street); 212-777-2210. Madewell Mini Mailbag, $118, available at Madewell, 486 Broadway (at Broome Street); 212-226-6954. AllSaints Egyptian Bangle, $250, available at AllSaints, 512 Broadway (between Broome and Spring streets); 646-862-1832. Wilfred Free Yulia Crewneck Sweater, $72.50 (was $145), available at Aritzia, 524 Broadway (at Spring Street); 212-965-2188. H by Hudson Encke Buckle Boot, available at Gravity Pope.

The Toucan & The Lion is a cozy spot for double dates and pre-event drinks alike. The front bar is dimly lit (clutch), and hanging plants adorn the interior, thanks, we assume, to former stylist-turned-part-owner, Tabitha Tan. Menu offerings such as Asian-inspired gastropub bites meant for sharing and super-strong drinks are best complimented by a date-worthy (or double-date worthy!) outfit. If you're running from work, try a simple-yet-structured dress with far-out heels, a toasty coat, and a pop of color in your nails or makeup.
Marni Pressed Felt Coat, $690 (was $1,380), available at Marni, 161 Mercer Street #1 (between Prince and Houston streets); 212-343-3912. Opening Ceremony Sleeveless Shirt Dress, $335, available at Opening Ceremony, 35 Howard Street (between Broadway and Crosby streets); 212-219-2688 Topshop Willow Wedge Zip Front Boots, $170, available at Topshop, 478 Broadway (between Broome and Grand streets); 212-966-9555. Essie Size Matters nail polish, $8.00, available at Essie.

Once in a while a joint comes along that's an absolute see-and-be-seen venue amongst the fashion crowd. Well, Acme is the newest name on that super-tight list. Already favorited by the André Saraiva crowd, the bootlegger's speak-easy meets french bistro interior hides a downstairs bar (that we have on good word will play home to high-profile parties come NYFW ). In short: There are more fashion editors than there are french fries here. Because the table-staring is on red alert, we recommend really amping up your outfit: A statement dress, fierce heels, and a mix of brights and blacks seems like a good place to start.
Alexander Wang Leather Racer-Back Dress, $985, available at Net-A-Porter. Asos Lazer Cut Zip Top Clutch, $44.76, available at Asos. Diane von Furstenberg Bernice Coat, $380 (was $950), available at Matches. Heeled Sandals, $525, available at Kirna Zabete, 96 Greene Street (at Spring Street); 212-941-9695.
