All right, folks. Here it is. My list of things that I didn't do this week. Enjoy!
I most certainly did not plan a play date at the Children's Museum and stay for 6 hours....Not Me!
I didn't decide after seeing a barely 2 year old girl ask her mom to go potty that it was time for Christian to be potty trained once and for all....Not Me! (I would never pressure my kid to do something just because someone younger could do it.)
I didn't bribe Christian to use the potty with money and/or tickets to see the Imagination Movers LIVE in concert...Not Me!
I didn't take the kids to the Library in the middle of nap time...Not Me!
I didn't have to break up a fight between my 2 kids...Not Me! (I mean...the baby is only 7 months. He's not even capable of picking fights yet, right?)
I didn't forget the dry erase markers were still out in reach...Not Me!
I didn't give my baby a pizza crust to chew on just to stop the fit he potentially could throw...Not Me!
I didn't drink the orange juice straight out of the carton knowing I have a cold just so I could claim it as all mine...Not Me!
I didn't contemplate doing the same thing with the cookie dough ice cream...Not Me!
I know you all are jealous. But really, you don't have to be. Make your own Not Me! Monday list. It's fun.

text: Christmas is always a difficult time for me. I've been single now for five years and it always hits home when it's a holiday. It's not that I don't want to meet someone, rather I seem to mess up everytime I do. I've only had a few relationships in my time and I don't ever feel confident when I'm with a woman. I thought I'd join Flirthut but having a look at the people on here, I'm not sure I'd meet the sort of woman that would suit me. Does anyone else have issues with women who are in there 40's? All the TV programs and films make relationships look so easy but the reality is so different, for me anyway. Every year I tell myself that I'll be dating someone over Christmas but it never happens. Anyway, without waffling on too much, I guess my question is do any guys have any advice for a guy like me?

Now back in Miri, I've spent the last five days on a an amazing trek through the jungle of Sarawak and Penan villages. On the way, I experienced the hospitality of the Penan people and saw some incredible natural beauty. At the same time, the trek was incredibly tough at times, with steep climbs, slippery ledges and narrow bridges to cross. Luckily the Penan guides and porters who were with me were jungle experts and they were patient and protective of me.
In order that you can get a sense of the journey, I'll go chronologically though the trek, using the diary which I kept.
Wednesday 25 August:
Today I met the lovely couple who were also going on the trek with me. We met at the airport and boarded a propellor plane, which would take us to our first location, a village called Long Lellang. At Long Lellang, we met our Penan guide, Isac and the two young Penan porters, Alan and Hagai, who would accompany us and carry the food for our trip. The first day of the trek seemed quite mild, although I struggled on some of the steep slopes (thanks to my dicky knees). We walked until the afternoon where we came to Long Sait Village.
|The plane ride was an adventure in itself - so small that we could see inside the cockpit and feel every movement of the plane.
|From the air, I could see huge areas destroyed by logging and palm oil plantations. Closer to my destination though, were lush mountains, their peaks obscured by clouds.
|The beginning of the trek looked pretty tame.
|My guide carved this stick for me from a tree. I needed it to balance the weight of my bag!
|The children in Long Kepang village were very curious about us.
After a wash in the stream, we ate a lovely and simple dinner of rice and cooked tapioca leaves in one of the Penan houses. They were very generous with their food, although there were many people and not alot of food. The Penan have a custom of sharing, no matter how little there is. It was quite an experience. At night, we slept on Rattan mats which had been woven by Penan women. I slept pretty badly; I just couldn't get comfortable on the hard surface. In the morning, I was woken early by the sound of cocks crowing - something I've only heard of in childrens stories. Who knew it could be so loud!

17 November 2013
Ekco & Animation
The Ekco AC86 was released in 1935, a year after the AC85 of which it was a restyle, the cabinet design undertaken by Serge Chermayeff. The set was available in both walnut (pictured) and black Bakelite, the latter with chromium detailing.
The AW70 was released in 1939. It operated only on alternating current, but was available also in battery form (BAW71). By this point, immediately pre-war, Ekco was no longer producing black and chromium variants, although it did so again in 1945 with the A22.
The set's dial features the word "Aircraft" at 900 metres. A feature first introduced in 1934, this marked the frequency at which one could listen to traffic between airborne 'planes and the control tower at London Airport, Croydon, unthinkable in today's controlled world. It was presumably the AW70 that inspired the design of the alarm clock merchandise spin-off from Aardman Animations' 2000 film Chicken Run, being spirited away by Fetcher and Nick

Let the games begin!
It may not be Hillary vs. Rudy, but if recent exchanges are an indication, next year's expected U.S. Senate showdown between Democrat incumbent Charles S. Robb and former governor George Allen (R) won't exactly be a scholarly debate between two Virginia gentlemen.
Consider recent fund-raising letters mailed by the respective campaigns.
In a mailing timed for Flag Day and the Fourth of July, Allen asked for "at least $50 right away" to offset "entrenched forces working against us, attempting to keep one of the most powerful political families in American history in office." (Robb is a son-in-law of former president Lyndon B. Johnson.)
Enclosed in the letter was a small American flag, for placement in "your car or window." Allen added that "when I look at the flag, I see the red stripes and think of the blood of our veterans that was shed to preserve our liberty."
Craig K. Bieber, executive director of the Democratic Party of Virginia, called that appeal "tasteless and inappropriate. It would have been more appropriate had Allen actually served in the military."
Bieber added that Allen "could have volunteered" for military service, as did Robb, who served with the Marines in Vietnam.
Allen spokesman Jay Timmons responded that it was "pathetic" that a Robb spokesman "would question the patriotism of any American. One does not have to serve to understand the sacrifices our veterans have made for our freedom."
Allen was a student at the University of Virginia in the early 1970s, when young men were drafted according to lottery numbers. Chris LaCivita, the executive director of the Republican Party of Virginia, and soon-to-be Allen campaign manager, said Allen's number was "something like 232, and the highest number called was 90" in 1972, the last year the draft was in force.
"It's ridiculous to say anyone who never served can't be patriotic," LaCivita went on. "Does that same criticism apply to Mark Warner (a likely Democratic candidate for governor in 2001) and all of the women who haven't served, but are just as patriotic?"
Bieber didn't back down.
"Allen was the one who opened the door by making the reference," Bieber said. "It's ultimately up to the voters to decide whether they think it's an issue. But trying to raise money on the blood of veterans--I am going to hold him accountable."
In his own fund-raising letter, Robb began by making his intentions clear. "First, I'm running," he wrote. "I know my opponent and some of his supporters have tried to convince the media that I was planning to retire, but they're wrong--and they're in for a fight."
His formal announcement, however, won't come until March.
Robb conceded that Allen, as an immediate past governor, may have an early lead in the polls, as he did when he first ran in 1988.
The Democrat also said he expected to be outspent, as he was by Oliver L. North in 1994, although not again by $15 million. But in seeking GOP money now, Robb said, "Republicans have made me their top target for 2000."
The Robb letter ended with a very un-Robb like boast that "Robb is ready to rumble."

Other Virginians may have gotten a tiny taste of themes in the 2000 race, hearing from Sen. Charles S. Robb (D) and former governor George Allen (R) in scheduled back-to-back appearances before a group of educators in Charlottesville.
Allen and Robb were scheduled to address the third annual Policy Institute at the University of Virginia's Curry School of Education. Robb was up first on Tuesday, Allen 24 hours later, also at luncheon.
According to prepared texts sent by their offices, both candidates struck their expected moderate-to-conservative notes about the role that federal, state and local government should play in education, from kindergarten to post-graduate work.
Robb, who as governor in the early 1980s plowed millions of dollars into education and whose youngest daughter, Jennifer, is studying to be a math teacher, said the feds have a role to play but stressed he was "extremely sensitive to the fact that education is primarily a state and local responsibility."
He added: "We cannot--and should not--legislate parental involvement. But the federal government can be a constructive partner."
Robb called for an end to "social promotions" from grade to grade and called for greater school accountability and more rigorous teacher standards.
Meanwhile, Allen issued a call for a "more truly inclusive" educational system than that of the era of Jefferson, whom Robb also had invoked.
Allen, too, said public schools should be more accountable and he pointed to the statewide Standards of Learning launched on his watch as governor in the mid-1990s.
He pointed to the recent experience in Alexandria, where students of all backgrounds showed dramatic improvements in test scores over last year.
"Keep the pressure up to demand excellence in our schools," Allen said in a draft of his speech.
Higher Taxes Not the Cure for Roads
Robert E. Martinez, who served as state transportation secretary under former governor George Allen, told a special transit commission the other day that current funding levels are inadequate to meet all of Virginia's needs, but he later called The Washington Post to underscore his opposition to higher taxes to pay for improvements.
"Sure, there's never enough money for projects that everybody asks for," Martinez said. But, he added, "I don't believe in raising taxes."
Several Democrats have challenged that view, saying the newly formed commission, appointed by Gov. James S. Gilmore III (R), should seriously consider special taxes or fees to help Northern Virginia commuters.

Directed by Elliott Hong in 1982, The Call Me Bruce? tells the story of, not surprisingly, a guy called Bruce (Johnny Yune), a Chinese man who works as a cook for an Italian mafia family. He does a decent job, but seems clueless as to his employer's actual business dealings, which makes him the perfect patsy when they need someone to help escort a sizeable amount of cocaine across the country. Bruce, who sincerely believe the cocaine to be flour, may be of Chinese descent, but he doesn't actually know any martial arts even if he idolizes Bruce Lee and watches a lot of kung-fu movies. Whenever he gets into trouble, however, he somehow manages to use his heritage to his advantage and fool people into believing he's far more dangerous than he really is.
This comes into play when he and his mafia appointed driver, Freddy (as Ralph Mauro), travel across country. Before they leave, however, a beautiful woman named Anita (Pam Huntington) gives Bruce a necklace, swearing that so long as he wears it she'll never sleep with another man, saving herself only for him. He buys it, unaware that she's a cop and the necklace is a listening device. Regardless, Bruce and Freddy begin their road trip and get into all sorts of goofy, predictable adventures on their way to New York: getting into fights with rednecks, playing to win in Las Vegas, they run into a gang of jive talkin' black dudes and… eventually they piss off the Jewish mafia too. Oh, and there's a pretty but dangerous woman named Karmen (Margaux Hemingway) after them too.
If you came for political correctness, the exit is to your left, but even if the film does dabble in racial humor it's hard to find any of it even close to mean spirited (particularly when you take into account that Yune himself co-wrote the script and co-produced the film in the first place. Sure, the film mixes up Asian history constantly, throwing Japanese cultural references in alongside Chinese ones (Yune himself was born in Korea) but even as it deals in one stereotype after the next, well, if it pokes fun it does so with a wink and a nod, rather than a nasty jab.
As it is with every comedy film, some of the jokes here work better than others but unlike a lot of other films They Call Me Bruce? just keeps at it, relentlessly. There's not a second in the film where things slow down or try to get even close to serious. There's no underlying moral here, no deeper meaning and no attempt to make anything more than a ridiculously goofy, dopey comedic picture… and that's exactly what this film is.
The cast members are all in on the joke and appear to be having a lot of fun with the material. Yune is the real star of the show, and he actually plays two parts. There are scenes in the film where we flashback to Bruce's childhood in China. In these scenes Yune plays Bruce's crotchety wise-ass grandfather. He's a lot of fun to watch regardless of which character he's taking on in the movie. The film did well enough that five years later it spawned a sequel with 1987's The Still Call Me Bruce (which isn't as good and which was a bit of a flop).
The Blu-ray
They Call Me Bruce? arrives on a 25GB Blu-ray disc framed at 1.78.1 widescreen in an AVC encoded 1080p high definition transfer that generally looks pretty decent. The movie is a bit soft looking overall but this would appear to be the way it was shot and not be a specific issue with the transfer itself. For the most part the picture is pretty clean. Some minor print damage does show up from time to time but it's small stuff, white specks and the like rather than large scratches. Color reproduction is pretty solid, black levels are fine and skin tones look good. This is film-like, there's no obvious noise reduction or edge enhancement to complain about and the image is free of noticeable compression artifacts.
The English language DTS-HD 2.0 Stereo track on this disc gets the job done. There are no alternate language or subtitle options provided. Dialogue is a little garbled in a few spots but this is the exception, not the rule. For the most part the performers are easy enough to understand. Levels are properly balanced and there aren't any problems with any hiss or distortion. This would seem 'true to source' as far as the movie's sound mix is concerned.
The only extra listed on the packaging or menu is the film's original trailer, which looks like a Youtube rip, but if you let that play, there are a few bonus trailers hidden away for other Code Red releases. Aside from that, we get some standard menus and chapter selection.
They Call Me Bruce? isn't politically correct but it is pretty funny if you're in the right fame of mind for it. This isn't highbrow comedy at all, it consistently aims for the bottom of the barrel and hits its mark time and time again, but it's frequently so intentionally dumb that you can't help but laugh at it. Code Red's Blu-ray release is light on extras but it looks and sounds decent enough. Recommended… if you're in the right frame of mind for it.

Hammer's THE WOMAN IN BLACK is set to hit the US on February 3rd, with the UK getting it a week later. We've been getting a lot of new bits and pieces from the film as of late and today is no different.
A brand new poster has been revealed and I think this might be the best one yet. It is a simple design but it is very affective and it seems to be a more literal translation of the title. The film is of course an adaptation of the Suzanne Hill novel, directed by James Watkins. Back in 1989 there was another version of the book with the same title, how will this one hold up? By the looks of what we have seen, this looks to be a pretty solid one.
The story follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps ( Daniel Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote village and sort out a recently deceased client's papers. As he works alone in the client's isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover tragic secrets, his unease growing when he glimpses a mysterious woman dressed only in black. Receiving only silence from the locals, Kipps is forced to uncover the true identity of the Woman in Black on his own, leading to a desperate race against time when he discovers her true intent.
THE WOMAN IN BLACK stars Daniel Radcliffe Shaun Dooley, Cathy Sara, Mary Stockley, Roger Allam, Liz White, Lucy May Barker, Tim McMullan, Alisa Khazanova, Daniel Cerqueira, David Burke and Victor McGuire.

Because of a rain-out earlier in the week, we had the second semi-final game and the championship game today. So, one team and the teacher/all-time quarterback were in the sun for quite awhile. In the end, the Bugers pulled out a 28-27 victory over the Blue Hammerheads to become the champions. The game-winning touchdown was caught by a girl, and the game-winning extra point was kicked by a girl.

Within a half-hour you reach two skeletal buildings, the remnants of an anthracite coal operation that flourished in the area from 1904 to 1922. A town of nearly 1,000 inhabitants called Bankhead was spread across the valley where the trail begins, and these old buildings were a part of the "C Level" operation—the highest coal seams worked within the eastern slope of Cascade Mountain.
Cirque is a French word you will not likely find in your English dictionary—a term used by geologists to describe a semicircular, bowl-shaped depression created by an alpine glacier… Though the glacier that produced the basin has long since disappeared, snow often lingers in the basin into midsummer. As it retreats, a carpet of yellow glacier lilies spreads across the damp, subalpine soil near its entrance. A tiny pond below the trail provides water throughout the summer, fed by the extensive snowfield on the talus slopes above.

I've got another polka-dot-athon for you today.... I noticed One Nail to Rule Them All had done an ace stripey mani with black and white stripes and I wanted to recreate this look. However although I love love love Alice's mani, I just didn't really like it on my nails, it looked a bit too plain on me. So I decided to make them go "tribal" and added a load of polka dots in black and white too, and it all turned out pretty cool. Win!
Polishes I used for this were:

A sneak preview of the new mini-movie from Next
Earlier this week we were treated to a sneak preview of the new TV ad for Next and, with blue skies and sunshine over the Soho Hotel on Wardour Street, it really put us in a feel-good mood.
Filmed in sunny California, the mini-movie offers an upbeat celebration of summer's key fashion themes: vibrant colours, floral print and denim revival. Shot by fashion photographer Ben Watts, the narrative follows supermodels Emanuela de Paul and Amy Hixson on a road trip from West Hollywood along America's Route 66 – all set to a thumping feel-good soundtrack of the Dandy Warhol's Bohemian Like You. On the way, the girls pull into a gas station and road-side diner, where they happen to meet a young group of groovy kids – all fashionably decked out in Next fashions, of course. You can watch the ad at next.co.uk/tv

Taking fire from Donald Trump on trade policy, Hillary Clinton proposed during Monday's night's presidential debate creating a "special prosecutor" to pursue cases against countries that cheat on trade deals. But it wasn't that long ago that Clinton and her husband weren't so fond of special prosecutors.
Special prosecutors or special counsels are outside, independent lawyers usually appointed by the Justice Department or Congress to investigate cases outside the normal system when perceived conflicts of interest are raised. They've been appointed
in scandals from Watergate to Whitewater.
During her husband's presidency, special prosecutors investigated a plethora of scandals ranging from Travelgate (the firing of White House travel office officials) to the death of a presidential lawyer named Vince Foster (one of Mrs. Clinton's former law partners).
The most famous special prosecutor investigations from that era eventually rolled up into a single probe known as Whitewater headed by former solicitor general Ken Starr, who was named an independent
The Clintons and their allies relentlessly attacked Starr, accusing him of political bias, strong-arm tactics and intimidation.
But in the end, Starr successfully prosecuted numerous people close to the Clintons for crimes ranging from fraud to fleecing a savings and loan.
And the evidence he gathered led to the impeachment of Bill Clinton for a sex scandal during his presidency involving intern Monica Lewinsky.
The Whitewater prosecutors also drafted an indictment against Hillary Clinton for lying and obstructing justice during the probe but in the end decided not to bring charges,
After he left office, Bill Clinton assailed the special prosecutors, suggesting they used their legal powers to impact political power.
"This was not about evidence. This was about a struggle for power. I think they really saw us as usurpers," Clinton said, referring to the Starr probe. "They honestly believe that the most important thing is that
people that espouse conservative values and antigovernment policies and their economic philosophy be in power."
Starr always denied any political motives and recently praised Clinton as a gifted politician.
But the Clinton team's disdain for the special prosecutor system led it in 1999 to send then-Attorney General Janet Reno to Congress and urge that the Independent Counsel law that empowered Starr and others prosecutors like him be allowed to expire.
"The Act has failed to live up to its promise. In the first place, it has failed to instill confidence among the public that politics has been removed from the process," Reno testified during a hearing just a few short weeks after Bill Clinton was acquitted in a Senate trial on his impeachment charges.
More recently, Republicans from Trump to Congress have suggested a special prosecutor be named to investigate the Clinton Foundation and its fundraising during Clinton's tenure as secretary of state.
The Clinton campaign hasn't
addressed those requests, instead saying any issues will be resolved if Mrs. Clinton becomes president because the foundation will stop accepting foreign donations.
Under Hillary Clinton's new proposal, a special trade prosecutor independent of the normal federal trade agencies and reporting to the White House would review the impact of trade deals and bring cases in international venues against policies or practices that were unfair to Americans.

Brain-friendly Exercise
I spend a lot of time on airplanes, sitting. When I get off a flight, I'm excited to move my body – to get that post-exercise bliss. My most creative thinking seems to happen when I exercise or immediately following it. And there's a good reason why.Exercise is great for the brain. Some of that benefit comes from endorphins, those chemicals that dull pain, reduce depression and make us feel good[1]. However, there's much more to the effect of exercise on the brain.2 And, when it comes to the brain, not all exercise is created equal.Turns out you can Dance your way to a younger brain!
Exercise gives you a bigger brain!
As we age, the volume of brain shrinks. Exercise can increase the volume of the hippocampus (the main part of the brain) by 2%, reducing age-related brain loss by 1-2 years.3 So if you continue to exercise while you age, it's possible that you can spare brain loss. The increased volume associated with exercise also correlates with increased memory.3
Exercise fights Parkinson's and Alzheimer's
This is especially important for diseases, like Parkinson's, which result in decreased brain volume, called hippocampal atrophy.4 Exercise has been shown to prevent or attenuate the progression of Parkinson's as well as Alzheimer's.5 While brain volume hasn't been investigated, because exercise increases oxygen and the development of new blood vessels, new neurons can be made, and new connections between existing neurons.
Exercise goes beyond endorphins
While endorphins are what we've heard of from exercise, exercise also induces endocannabinoids.6 Like endorphins, endocannabinoids can reduce depression and anxiety, and are released after physical activity.
Exercise also increases serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters that make us feel happy and satisfied.6 When you're starting to feel fatigued during a workout, likely your dopamine levels are dropping, but serotonin stays high. Both serotonin and dopamine are good for the brain and necessary for memory and learning.
Dance your way to a younger brain – its the best!
While it's long been known that both aerobic exercise and non-aerobic exercise are good for brain health, a recent study demonstrated that dancing may be the best exercise for memory.7
Dancing combines aerobic activity with the need to think (cognitive demand), and sensory perception (responding to the environment)
Dancing combines aerobic activity with the need to think (cognitive demand), and sensory perception (responding to the environment)
Keep in mind that the study that demonstrated the benefits of dancing looked at the effects of mambo, cha cha, and grapevine, not slow dancing to Al Green, or shaking your booty to Bruno Mars. Specific dances require people to think through the steps. I'm not saying that grooving to your own beat isn't good for you, it just hasn't been studied.
Exercise and Parkinson's
One of the best things people with Parkinson's disease can do is exercise. Not only can exercise improve cognition, it can also help with motor defects seen in Parkinson's, including walking, muscle strength, and balance.5

We ve developed a tradition in this house. It really wasn't one we tried to do, it just happened! Every year, I seem to be behind on my Christmas baking, and end up making sugar cookies on the 23rd of December. Not early, but late in the day, so they are impossible to decorate! We have begun waiting until the 24th to decorate in between masses. My kids are still young enough to be in the children's service, but they are old enough to acolyte at the midnight one. So on Christmas Eve, we attend church at 5pm, come home and then head off to mass at 1030. During the time at home, I have tried to keep them occupied so they will stay calm. We make reindeer food, watch a movie, eat grilled pimento cheese sandwiches and chips and color Christmas cookies. This has seemed to work out so well, that it is now a tradition! Another tradition to this cookie decorating is that the last one can always be piled high with frosting and consumed by the decorator. I try my hardest not to judge on how much frosting is on the cookie because, after all, it is Christmas!
I use my great grandmothers Christmas Crisp Holiday Sugar Cookie recipe, and they always make the best cookies! So I thought I would share this recipe with you today.
Christmas Crisp Holiday Sugar Cookie
Cream 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup lard and 1 1/2 cups sugar together. Add two well beaten eggs. 1 tablespoon vanilla and beat until light. Dissolve 1/2 teaspoons of soda in 3 tablespoons sour cream (or buttermilk). Sift three cups flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. Add the sour cream mixture and flour to the creamed together ingredients and blend well. Chill until very cold. Roll until thin as a dime on floured surface and cut into Christmas shapes with cookie cutters. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes until a delicate golden brown.
I have written the recipe exactly how my great grandmother wrote it in the Record Book. A couple of changes can be made to the ingredients. Instead of lard you can use shortening or another cup of butter. If you use butter, I would use slightly less than a 1/2 cup and make sure it is very very cold! Also, I do not roll mine out quite so thin. I like a fatter cookie! to frost, I use a butter cream recipe. Makes the cookies that much better!
Do you have any vintage recipes in your Christmas traditions?

stumbles and limps, a walking havoc, a reeling corpse,
all of his thoughts jumbled and lost among the muddled
gaps between each of his successive appointments. O Society!
the lineage of Plato and Hegel, burned, shattered, beaten,
a bruised heap of battered lies, stepped on by shiny shoes,
a conflagration fed by the unlimited ambivalence of Industry.

the thick miasma of suits and smiles and ties, of Humanity's decay.

Bernard Penney has kindly sent along this picture of his intricately carved model of the old Placentia train station.
As always, click the image to view it larger!
Bernard writes: After developing an interest in woodworking and having a special interest in trains, I decided to make a model of the Placentia Railroad Station that was built in 1888 in the Coalyard on Jerseyside. After approximately 720 hours of work this is the result.
It certainly is a wonderful piece of craftsmanship and work of art, reflecting our history and a lost piece of our architectural heritage.

I still root for destiny. You don't need this stupid dating sites. all you have to do is wait for the right person to come.
An Educated Comparison of the Top Dating Sites
A down-and-dirty exposé of the most famous dating sites.
I'll admit it: I've tried just about every dating site out there. My philosophy is: the wider I cast my net, the more likely I am to find that rare guy who's just right for me. I'm sure you can relate with the feeling that all the attractive and kind men have gone into hiding. Globally, finding love is tough, and big cities like LA and NYC are especially tough places to find love in — but there are ways to make it easier.
To all my single friends, I suggest this: Rather than spend another night talking to another balding banker, or worse, suffer through a complete dry spell, why not make dates come to you? No matter which side of the dating spectrum you're on, there is definitely an online dating service that's right for you. Like shopping online, you can view images, compare features, and order up men who want to come to your neighborhood to buy you dinner. You gotta love technology!
Fun facts:
- People who meet on dating sites are quicker to tie the knot than those who meet in the real world — dating for an average of just over 18 months before getting hitched, compared to 42 months for those who meet offline.
- 81% of people online lie about their height, weight or age on dating profiles. Women typically trim about 8 pounds from their weight, while men typically add half an inch to their height.
Here's my down-and-dirty (/tried and tested) reviews of the most famous dating sites (and expert tips at the end!) I left out Tinder because, well, if you're single then you probably already know all about it. Here are the sites to try if you're looking for a long-term relationship:
Reader Discussion: 121 Comments
eHarmony is a great dating site! Don't underestimate that site because you can at least trust the people you talk there because they are very religious.
If you're going to ask someone out, make sure you have enough money. Lol!!! ?
Funny thing is that I met someone through OkCupid. He said that he has a stable job, and he has a profession. We talked for like 3 weeks because he asked me out. Thank God I was ready for that because I am the one who pays for our food. Take note, it is a fine dining restaurant which cost me 500 bucks. He even borrowed some cash from me for his cab back to his place. What a jerk.
The online dating site is not enough. you have to work hard to find someone you love. I'm not just telling to work your ass off to earn money, but to be the better person.
Go to New York city, and party! You can meet different people there. Native New Yorker, and tourists. Clubbing is great!
Online dating sucks!!!!! They are a bunch of people lying!!!! I really hate them. Don't use dating sites, because you will end up with a lying partner.
These are good dating sites. I try these, except for the eHarmony, never heard of that. OkCupid is the least because some people there are too young, like 16? Overall, these are great sites. You must try them
Uhm, just one question. Did you find what you are looking for on these sites? ?
Haha! I will share this article with my friend. She badly needs working dating sites. Tinder isn't working anymore for her.
It's better to not to lie because if you matched with someone you really like, well it's gonna be hard telling her the truth. She might dump you, you know that?
You think it's easy to find a partner on a dating site? you wish. I know, they will give you matches, but it doesn't mean that you have a score with that. It's like dating in the real world. Even if you're a catch, you have to prove yourself first.
Yeah! This people think it's easy to get a chick or a dude? No!

Whenever I visit a ruined castle, I spend most of my time, wondering what the castle looked like before it was ruined, and about what it was like to live inside.
But occasionally, you visit a castle that has never fallen down, a castle that instead of reaching the end of its useful life as a defensive fortress and being abandoned, has gone on to have a new life in peacetime.
Powis Castle, sitting proudly on top of a hill, just outside Welshpool in the Wales/England border-land, is one such example – and an incredibly beautiful one at that.
As you arrive at the Castle, there's no doubting its origins as a fortress. The position on the hill-top, gives impressive views for miles across the area.
The austere red stone building, tightly nestled, as if holding strong arms around itself, gives no impression from the outside, of the opulence, beauty and grandeur you'll encounter inside.
Because Powis, despite being built as a stronghold for Welsh princes, has spent the greatest period of its history, less as a fortress, and more as a grand stately home – a magnificent statement of the wealth and position of its owners.
In fact, once inside the castle, it's easier to imagine yourself inside a grand country house of the C17th or C18th, than what is in effect the shell of a medieval construction.
While I was checking out some of the details about Powis, I came across this totally engaging blog from Ellen-Scarlett, who is currently working at the Castle, so rather than say much more about the interiors and the fabulous artistic treasures it contains, I do urge you to read View From My Attic Window. It's so unusual to find an insight into one of these buildings from an insider, who writes in such a clear and enthusiastic style.
All I'll say, is that if I didn't have any responsibility for its upkeep, Powis is exactly my sort of castle – I know which bedroom I'd choose for myself, and I mentally plan big house-parties, with romantic, candle-lit dinners, and plenty of lounging around, reading from the extensive library.
As you'd expect with a building so old, it has its fair share of ghost stories, with one particularly popular about a ghost that gave instructions to an old lady. I'm sure it's just as easy to make up your own in those kinds of surroundings.
But for those of us who simply get to visit for the day, the glory of Powis is probably not inside the Castle at all, instead it is the garden.
Wonderful terraces, complete with orangery and patinated lead statues, and more clipped yews than you could imagine (it makes my arms ache just thinking about them), the gardens and the views from the terraces are Powis's real treasure, and one which we can all appreciate at first hand.
For more information
Please do start by reading Ellen-Scarlett's fabulous blog View From My Attic
Of course Wiki has interesting details
And of course there's the National Trust's official site – the best place to find important visitor information. (Follow the links from here and you can see some of the art collection at Powis online).

The exams are over, summer is here and I have a lot of things to do and not much enthusiasm to do them. There used to be a reason for me to get up in the morning some time ago but now it seems to be gone. Maybe because reality is being nice to me again and I have old new lessons to learn about the things that matter to me and how i don't matter to them. Well, nothing new around here.
Maybe it's a good thing to be seeing someone who wasn't here when my world started falling apart and when I was still a dreamer with many hopes and dreams yet to be broken. Now that they are, my fire is gone and I no longer drown in my sleep. Because that me is gone already.
I have no idea what's with those weird dreams of signs and the attempt of finding hope, but with my lack of faith in finding anything I doubt there is any point. Yeah, it's one of those weeks when I'm going to hate the world for reasons I don't feel like mentioning. Because it sucks. It's not fair. Well, it never is. And I should have known better. I'm not just here for the free time. And I have better things to do than to sit here waiting. But I do anyway, because I have a hard time letting go of things. That's why I can't find it in me to forgive and forget things that hardly mean anything at all now. That's why I'm still here. And I can keep saying it's all my fault because sanity left me behind and disappeared, or because a black hole consumed me, or because my world fell apart but somehow I thought that's exactly the time to not be blamed for not trying harder. That's the time to have someone be here and not to have to be anywhere for that.
I used to wonder what was wrong with me. Now I wonder what isn't. It's some lovely perspective I've got there. Well, I'm still doing my best. I even have proof of that. My efforts paid off. So I am doing something right. I never stopped trying, but sometimes even going to the store feels like traveling half the world. Being away means lack of safety and that is something I really need in order to function relatively normal. And I do want to go places, I want to do things but also I don't want to feel like I'm going crazy every two seconds. And that's just a regular day in my never boring life.
