Happy Date Nut Bread Day! Celebrate with this Gluten free, vegan Zucchini Date Bread By @thefullhelping Recipe: Ingredients 1 cup chopped and pitted medjool dates (about 5 ounces) 1 tablespoon ground flax meal 2 cups Bob's Red Mill All Purpose, Gluten Free Flour or whole wheat pastry flour (you can substitute another GF all-purpose flour of choice–just be aware that they all absorb liquid differently, so your texture results may vary a bit from mine) 2½ teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon ground ginger ½ teaspoon salt (scant) 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar ¾ cup almond milk ⅓ cup maple syrup ⅓ cup grapeseed or melted coconut oil 1½ cups grated or shredded zucchini, squeezed through cheese cloth or between paper towels to absorb excess moisture after grating Instructions 1. Preheat your oven to 350F. Lightly oil and flour a 9 x 5 loaf pan. 2. Bring two cups of water to boil. Remove the water from the stove and pour it over the chopped dates. Allow the to soak for 15-30 minutes. Drain them and set them aside. 3. Mix the ground flax meal with 3 tablespoons of warm water and set it aside. 4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, and salt in a large mixing bowl. 5. Add the vinegar to the almond milk in a medium sized mixing bowl and whisk them together vigorously, until the mixture is frothy. Stir in the prepared flax mixture, syrup and oil. Add these wet ingredients to the flour mixture, along with the dates and the zucchini. Fold all of the ingredients together until they're just evenly mixed (a few lumps is fine). 6. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, and bake for 35-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean. (Mine baked up in 35, as my oven runs hot, but I've heard feedback that it can take quite a bit longer, so just keep checking it and use your intuition.) Cut into slices and serve. Bread will keep, wrapped up tightly, for up to four days, and it can be frozen for up to one month. Enjoy! #HappyDateNutBreadDay #Letscookvegan
This one's gluten free too.

text: Sneaky Yield Robbers January 10, 2009 05:39 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Darrell Smith Farm Journal Conservation and Machinery Editor Email While pest management can never be taken for granted, it certainly got easier with the advent of genetically engineered hybrids fortified with corn borer and rootworm resistance. But ironically, the technology may have helped a couple of other yield robbers become more of a threat. One, so far, is limited to northern areas of the U.S., and the other is present everywhere, just waiting for a chance to take a bite out of yield. Corn Nematodes Some entomologists believe that corn nematode populations are quietly increasing. Nematodes are tiny nonsegmented worms. A few of the species that attack corn include corn needle nematode, lance nematode, lesion nematode and sting nematode. Most live in the soil and feed on corn roots from the outside, but some enter the roots and feed inside root tissue. "Because nematodes exist in all soils, they are a potential problem wherever corn is grown," says University of Illinois plant pathologist Terry Niblack. "There are many species of nematodes, so various ones may become yield limiting in certain soils and localities." Some species of corn nematodes cause no crop damage at all. Others cause a lot or only a little. "In Kansas and Nebraska, sting and needle nematodes can wipe out every plant in some sections of a corn field," says Kansas State University nematologist Tim Todd. "Fortunately, those species occur only on our sandiest soils, and their damage is limited to patches. "At the other end of the spectrum is the lesion nematode, which is found in every corn field regardless of soil type," Todd continues. "Their damage is in the form of chronic yield loss—a 5% loss is common across Kansas." Inquiries about corn nematodes from farmers are increasing, Niblack says. A survey she conducted in northern Illinois revealed root lesion nematodes in every field, often in high enough numbers to damage yields. Niblack, Todd and Michigan State University nematologist Fred Warner believe there are three reasons corn nematode populations could be climbing. First, because of genetically engineered corn hybrids, farmers are applying fewer soil insecticides. The older organophosphate and carbamate insecticides provided some nematode control. The newer pyrethroid insecticides do not. The other two reasons are more continuous corn and less tillage. Symptoms of nematode damage can be mistaken for nutrient deficiencies, disease or other problems. The only way to find out is to have your soil analyzed. Niblack, Todd and Warner recommend monitoring fields for nematodes just as you do for fertility. Monitor your fields. Iowa State University plant pathologist Greg Tylka recommends taking 10 to 20 soil cores, 8" to 12" deep, from every 20 acres. "Some laboratories also request two or three root balls, including the soil around the roots," he says. "If possible, collect a soil and root sample from a nearby area in the field that appears to be free of nematode damage so nematode numbers can be compared. Samples must be stored in a moisture-proof bag. They must be kept cool, but not frozen, until delivered to a laboratory." Tylka recommends sampling during the growing season when corn nematode numbers are likely to be highest. An exception is needle nematodes, which migrate down into the soil in midsummer. Sample for needle nematodes in the spring or fall, he advises. Land-grant universities and many private labs analyze the samples. Threshold recommendations for treatment vary by state, area and soil type. For now, the primary treatment option is to rotate to a nonhost crop for at least one year. "If you already are planning to apply Counter as a rootworm insecticide at planting, you may get some control of some species of nematodes," Warner says. "But I don't recommend applying the product just to control nematodes." Syngenta's Avicta seed treatment nematicide was recently registered for use on corn. But a company spokesman says it will not be available to growers until the 2010 season. Western bean cutworms have been moving east since 2000. Western Bean Cutworm Until about 2000, damage from western bean cutworm (WBC) was found only in the western Corn Belt states and a few western states. Corn yield losses as high as 40% have been reported in Colorado when high populations of WBC were left untreated. "For WBC, ground zero is northeastern Colorado and southwestern Nebraska," says University of Nebraska entomologist Gary Hein. "We see quite consistent populations here. Farmers deal with the pest on an annual basis by scouting and spraying or planting resistant hybrids." WBC also has long been reported in parts of Kansas, Wyoming, Idaho and Arizona. But the pest has been on the move. In recent years, WBC has been found in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. How quickly is WBC expanding its range? "Western bean cutworm was first found in southwestern Minnesota in 1999 and in western Iowa in 2000," says Iowa State University plant pathologist Merlin Rice. "By 2004, they were all across Iowa and had moved into northeastern Missouri and western Illinois. In 2006, they were found in southern Michigan and western Ohio—a spread of 675 miles." No one knows for sure why WBC is increasingly showing up in new areas. The Bt hybrids that resist corn borer may be eliminating the insect's competition while leaving WBC unharmed. And some hybrids that resist corn borer also suppress corn earworms that prey upon WBC. In 2006 and 2007, there were reports of 10-bu. to 20-bu. yield reductions in areas of Iowa. But in 2008 in Iowa, the population crashed. No one knows why, but Rice believes weather probably played a key role. "The potential for damage next year in Iowa is smaller because of fewer moths in 2008," Rice explains. "But it's impossible to predict the chance of economic damage in a given area. They will be back and cause damage sometime, somewhere." WBC moths emerge from the soil in early July. If corn (or dry beans, WBC's other favorite host) are no longer growing in that field, "the female moths can fly at least 15 miles in one night to find a host crop," Rice says. After mating, the moths lay eggs in masses of five to 200 on host plants such as field corn, sweet corn, popcorn and dry beans. With corn, the eggs are laid on the upper surface of the upper few plant leaves. The egg masses turn from white to tan to dark purple, and larvae hatch within five to seven days. Newly hatched larvae are about ¼" long and are dark brown in color. They pass through a tan stage, with a darker, faint diamond-shaped pattern on their backs. Near maturity, they are pinkish-tan or pale brown and up to 1½" long. The larvae feed on the flag leaf, tassel and other yellow tissue. As the plant tassels and silks, the larvae move to the ear. They feed on silks and then on the developing kernels. Studies have shown that one larva per plant can reduce yield by 3.7 bu. per acre. Severe feeding pressure can damage 50% to 60% of the kernels on an ear. Control options. "If the larvae get into the ear, it's too late to treat," Rice says. To prevent that from happening, growers have two options. The first is to plant Herculex I or Herculex Xtra Bt hybrids, which are resistant to WBC. The second option is to scout for WBC egg masses. Begin scouting based either on a period of 1,320 growing degree days (GDD) or on reports of moths caught in pheromone traps. The pheromone trapping of moths will help you determine when to scout, especially in areas where you are not used to seeing WBC. For egg sampling on the plants, "check 20 consecutive plants at five locations," Rice says. Continue scouting for seven to 10 days after the peak of the flight period, at 1,422 GDD, to detect eggs and larvae. Egg laying varies by plant growth stage, so if fields are planted to different-maturity hybrids, check each area separately. Remember to scout refuge areas of fields. "Late-maturing hybrids are usually hit the hardest," Rice says. Thresholds. University of Nebraska entomologists, who have dealt with WBC longer than their colleagues farther east, recommend considering an insecticide treatment if 8% of the plants contain an egg mass or if young larvae are found in the tassel. At Michigan State University, entomologist Chris DiFonzo has lowered the treatment threshold to 5%. That's because egg survival seems to be greater in Eastern states, perhaps because of more humid weather. "We catch fewer moths in our traps than they do in Nebraska," DiFonzo says. "But the egg survival rate is tremendous." "Timing of the insecticide application is critical," Rice says. "Apply it when 90% to 95% of tassels have emerged. If the tassels have already emerged, spray when 70% to 90% of the larvae have hatched." Before you spray, check the field for spider mite colonies. "Pyrethroid insecticides provide very effective control," Hein says. "But they can cause a flare-up of spider mites by killing their natural enemies. Because of the risk of spider mite problems, it's important to spray only fields where WBC exceeds the economic threshold levels." Read the Web Extra.

The former city editor of the Rocky Mountain News will become Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's communications director.
Eric Brown will take the post April 20, the mayor announced in a press release this morning. Brown, 38, will be paid $99,929 annually.
He will succeed the current communications director, Sue Cobb, who will remain a senior advisor to the mayor. In that role, Cobb will manage special projects including coordination of communications and outreach relating to progress of the city's bond improvement campaign, approved by voters in Nov. 2007.
"Eric is a highly respected journalist with an impressive knowledge of the city and its programs," Hickenlooper said in a statement. "His energy, enthusiasm and management experience make him a terrific addition to our city team."
Brown will work with deputy communications director, Sabrina D'Agosta, who began working for Hickenlooper in August 2008 after working as communications manager for the city of Golden.
Before joining the Rocky, Brown worked as city editor, copy editor and reporter for the Greeley Tribune and a reporter for the Corpus Christi Caller-Times and the Abilene Reporter-News, both in Texas.
Brown was raised in Littleton and received a bachelor's degree in journalism with a minor in history from Colorado State University in Fort Collins.

Okay so I may or may have not taken 4122 thousand pictures of Wyatt as a super hero the other day. And I may or may have not smothered them all over my blog. But I just cant help it. He is the most adorable little super hero ever and this week I decided to stop being in a pissy mood and get back to my motherly basics.
I have literally turned off the computer and TV, turned up the music this week and just played with Wyatt. We laughed until our bellies hurt, we played a ton of hide n' seek, dressed up not only as super heroes but kings, cowboys, Indians and we at one point became monsters from the far off planet poopzoid. (yes we love the word poop in our family.)
I have found that after forgetting about blogging, editing, catching up on my shows and maybe even cleaning I have found the thing that I was missing. It brought me back to the days were I only worked the weekends and spent my days living in my child's imagination. Which was just fabulous.
Not only did we grow and love each other more we became good friends again. I missed that so much.Tweet

Real estate investment has become very popular these days. There are many opportunities to gain from the real estate market. Here are some simple ways in which you can invest in the real estate market.
Basic rental property
You will buy a house and rent it out to a tenant. As an owner, you will be responsible for paying the mortgage, taxes, maintenance costs, etc. You will need to charge enough so that all these expenses are covered and you can also make some profit. Many landlords, don't try to earn any profit while paying the mortgage. After the mortgage is paid in full, the major portion of the rent will be profit. Also, the property will appreciate every year, so the value of the property will increase.
Real estate investment group
These are small mutual funds for rental properties. If you want to own a rental property, but don't want to go through the hassle of paying bills, taxes, maintenance, etc., then a real estate investment group is the right solution for you. The real estate investment company will buy or develop a set of condos or apartment blocks and then you can buy fro them. You can choose to own a single or multiple units. The company takes care of everything, from advertising vacant units, interviewing the tenants and doing the maintenance works. In exchange, they will take a percentage of your monthly rent.
Real estate trading
The real estate traders buy properties and hold them for a short time. Then they sell them at a higher price and earn a profit. This is called flipping. They actually buy properties that are undervalued or have very good demand in the market so that they can make some good profit.
These are very simple ways of investing in real estate market. There are many variations in the real estate investment. Real estate investment may not get you guaranteed a profit. So, you need to make careful choices. You need to weigh your costs and benefits before investing in the real estate business.

I Want More Sales
Welcome, We are glad you are here.
Everyone who lands on this page want us to generate more leads for them, that obviously leads to more sales.
Let us talk you through how we help you increase your sales using our simple but very effective formula.
Wanting more sales begins with identifying or better understanding your target market and your IDEAL clients. This allows you to work with the best clients possible, as they will appreciate the value you bring to the table, the work that you do and the ROI that they get from your services. Working with your Ideal clients benefits not only your health but also your business.
"Why my health you ask?" good question. Well, when you do your best work, and your client does not understand what you have done…. they do not appreciate the work. When they do not appreciate the work, you strive to please them and are not rewarded for it. When you get into this cycle, you end up sabotaging your success, as working with the wrong client can drain your time and resources, which ultimately is a cost to your business and the stress has an impact on your health.
So identifying your target market and ideal client is paramount, as we want you to be serving that calibre of clients only. Every tactic, strategy and piece of collateral we create for you, will be targeted to you getting those clients that you deem Ideal and hence leads to a much more fulfilling experience for you, your client and your business.
If they choose the amazing offer we presented (crafted with your help) to them on the page, then one of two things will happen. They will either book to have a chat with you on the phone or contact you directly on the spot. This is when the sales conversion starts.
Backup strategy, if they do not want your Main offer, there is also a counter offer on the page, which is used to get them into your marketing funnel so that that lead is not wasted and can still be converted in your sales cycle at some point.
The counter offer should be something that they can use immediately and is free, for example "The 7 Scientifically proven strategies used by the worlds top companies to grow exponentially." As soon as they choose this option, their details will be put into your database of potential clients and followed up automatically with your CRM system.
We then bring them through our follow up sequence, be it emails or direct mail, we create opportunities that call them to action.
At this point they should be educated about your services and realise their problems can be solved using your main offer. This process has been proven to convert highly time and time again and we want to give this leverage to you!

A New Build bridge required for a protective coating system which could offer long-term corrosion protection. A short time frame of 2 days was given for project completion.
Grit blasting was not permissible due to the damage it would cause to the surrounding environment.
Full encapsulation would also incur a high cost and would significantly increase the project duration.
Picture: During Surface Preparation
Above the water line the substrate was high pressure water jetted (500bar). Two coats of wet & rust tolerant epoxy Epo-chem™ RL 500PF was then applied.
Picture: Applying RL 500PF Above the Water Line & RA 500UW-LV Below the Water Line
Below the water line, the substrate was prepared using mechanical methods. This was followed by one primer coat of solvent-free, wet & rust tolerant epoxy Epo-chem™ RS 500P and one topcoat of Chemco's specialised solvent-free underwater coating system Diver-cote™ RA 500UW-LV.
Picture: Completed Application
The project was successfully completed to the great satisfaction of the client and within the strict 2 day time frame given for the project. This project could only be completed within 2 days by using Chemco's unique solution.
The same process will now be used for more bridges and other similar structures for this client.
By utilising this innovate solution, the following benefits are can be achieved:
- Unique solution only offered by Chemco
- Excellent adhesion to sub-standard substrate conditions expected underwater
- No grit blasting
- Significantly reduced contract duration
- Substantial time and cost savings

The rise of nationalism in Russia
On December 11th 2010, Moscow saw its worst week of ethnic tensions over decades, culminating in mass rioting of football fans, nationalists, and ultra-right skinheads. Many adolescent boys and girls had also latched onto the nationalist wave after the riots. Their hatred towards black people is expressed in music, graffiti and street dancing with slogans like "Russia for Russians", "Fuck the Caucasus" and "14/88". This worrying trend is blamed on various factors such as an influx of migrant workers from central Asia, Russia's perceived humiliation at the hands of the west and subsequently a lack of jobs with no future.The Kremlin's response to the rise of nationalism shows the government's weakness and disorientation. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev appeared on national TV only in a few days after the riots and looking confused, and declared that "such actions threaten the stability of the state." Many surveys indicate that more than two thirds of Moscow's population side with the nationalists and sympathize with the calls for "Moscow for Muscovites." A broad majority of ethnic Russians feel uncomfortable about the fact that their numbers are shrinking while they watch their non-Slavic neighbors flourishing and riots are becoming more anti-government than nationalist.

How can one man be that good at picking projects to direct? Danny Boyle has yet to write one himself—granted, though, he has worked with the same people multiple times—but he can adapt his vision and style to anything. From musical, to drug induced frenzy, to children's fantasy, to science fiction, to horror. No one does it like him, except for maybe Marc Forster; I like to think of him as the American Boyle. With this new film, Slumdog Millionaire, the Brit treats us to a touching love story, backdropped into a world of crime and poverty in Mumbai, India. It is such a simple tale, yet told in gorgeous flashback, peeling back layers when necessary and enhancing the relationships between our lead Jamal and those around him; those on his "friends and family" plan. Here is a young man from the streets, a boy who witnessed his own mother's murder, living only to be reunited with the one person he truly loves, Latika. His bond to her leads him on an adventurous life full of violence and cruelty, events so harrowing that one would be hard-pressed to forget even the smallest detail about them. This is a great fact for Jamal as it will soon be shown how his life was lived with a destiny to be achieved. When he becomes a contestant on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", it's as though the questions were written especially for him.
You are probably asking yourself how a film about a game show contestant having questions read as chapters in his life can be good. I know, it sounds like the most contrived piece of drivel, I agree. But trust me, it is far from that. Accused of cheating and arrested by the police, (talk about rights violations, at least we have rights in America), he is tortured to discover how he was able to trick the system. Only when nothing yields results does the Inspector, (the great Irfan Khan), decide to hear Jamal out and find the truth. What transpires is the film we have come to watch—a story told from a police chair, one of how the rough and tumble life of a slumdog gave him the exact right experiences to keep going towards a purse of twenty million rupees. Boyle, never one to go conventional, cuts between flashbacks of childhood, (the actual event being remembered), with Jamal in the hotseat on television, thinking of his past tragedies to continue the game as long as he can, in hopes that his love is watching, wherever she may be. With gorgeous cuts at the start—flashes of memories jumbled together as he is submerged in water or electrocuted—the structured chaos soon calms down to a normal pathway of three converging timelines: childhood, the previous night's game show, and the present incarceration. We are shown exactly what we need at exactly the right time. The film couldn't have been shot any other way and be nearly as successful as it is.
It all began in the slums with Jamal and his brother Salim. The two were inseparable no matter how much the older sibling would wreck the younger's joy for his own laughter. They always believed in each other, even though they took diverging paths in life, the bond was never broken. These two Musketeers did what they needed to survive, looking out for one another and also for their surrogate third "brother" Lakita. Separated often, the three had a knack for finding one another through the years, until an event risks shattering any love between the brothers … an event that proves crucial to what characters do once the final trivia question is asked. Only when the bottom drops and one sees the monster they have become can he finally try to make amends. It's a journey through time that proves how strong love is. Money is meaningless unless there is a life to live spending it. Who knows, if you live your life correctly, without regret, good things can happen. One doesn't necessarily need to seek fortune in order to earn it and that fortune doesn't always have to be monetary.
Boyle orchestrates it all with a steady hand, creating stunning visuals with composition, editing, (especially the numerous chase scenes on foot), and tempo changes; adding mood with a stellar soundtrack, (I'm enjoying it as I write); and allowing his actors to breathe free and give some powerfully natural performances. You have to give all those involved, (perhaps a little more to Loveleen Tandan who helped direct the Indian sequences) credit, for controlling three different actors as each of our three leads, all of which stay true to each other, never allowing you to believe they aren't the same person just at different stages of their lives. Straight across the board, Jamal, Salim, and Latika are three-dimensional people trying to survive, no matter what they must do. I really enjoyed the youngest Salim, Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, with his infectious and mischievous smile when he tricks his brother, and also the middle incarnation by Ashutosh Lobo Gajiwala, a boy at the crossroads of a path towards salvation or a descent ending with an eternity in the slum. Freida Pinto's oldest Latika is wonderful as the troubled girl knowing only the kindness of one man, a man that she pushes away in fear of his death should they run away. However, it is Dev Patel's Jamal that steals the show. With his blank stare and unceasing drive to find his love, Patel pushes on through it all. Severing ties and mending others to get closer to his dream, this young man never strays from his quest and you can see the wheels turning behind his eyes, calculating his next step.
A tale of destiny and striving to be good, Slumdog Millionaire is an uplifting parable showing how karma works. Everything happens for a reason, nothing is left to chance. Perhaps it is all written, but that doesn't make the journey any tougher to endure. Jamal could have, understandably, given up at many times in his life, but his drive would not allow him that convenience. Conquering all odds, coming from the streets, to the point he didn't even know Ghandi's face was on his own country's currency, Jamal gets the chance at a fortune and an opportunity to finally be free. I seriously found myself hoping he'd get the final question correct; it engrossed me that much. You'll have to watch yourself to find out.
Slumdog Millionaire 10/10
Also, don't forget to stay and watch the Bollywood number during the end credits … a little treat for all you Indian cinema lovers out there.

I will be back tomorrow for Day 24.
Until next time,
Ophelia, I feel like I'm driving through a downpour that has flooded my windshield : ) The bright colors make me glad to have yielded to what's washing over me.
I love this. Soothing, yet there is something exciting as well. Have fun :)


text: Last week, I popped over to Dune to get a sneak peek of their genius collaboration with Fashion Fringe nominee Olivia Rubin. As a total shoe girl, I couldn't wait to see the outcome of the collaboration. I came away coveting every single pair in the 12 piece collection, the prints just really stood out and made the shoes so distinctive, talk about statement heels! During the evening, I was lucky enough to have a quick chat with Olivia herself, who is absolutely lovely. She was wearing her favourite heels from the collection, round toe slingbacks in the brightest print and they looked fab on. It turns out we had something in common, we're both heel lovers and agreed that the higher the heel the better, especially if there's a platform for added comfort. Most of the shoes in the collection had a slight platform, there were also classic mary-janes and flats. My favourite were the gorgeous multicoloured sandals in the third picture. But with price points between £65-110, I may just get more than one pair.

Needful Things: Dream Maker Part 4 (MF,oral)
by Star Gazer ([email protected])
As the whole town was now tranfixed with their dreams, Mr. Delvic was happy
for he was taking the whole town to HELL. For as they slept, even day dreamed
he was taking thier souls.
Stella Rhodes tossed and turned in her bed, the cover between her legs
rubbing her pussy for she now slept naked. Stella found herself once again
in front of the banker Bob Craft. Once again doing his bidding taking her
clothes off. Stella took two of her fingers and made them disappear inside
her pussy, pulling them out covered in her juices and sucking on each one.
Stella turned around showed Bob her ass and put her hands on her cheeks
pulling her ass apart.
Bob sat with a grin on his face knowning she would do anything he said. Bob
had a large dildo on the floor told Stella to fuck herself.
Stella walked over to it knelt down began to kiss and lick it.
"SUCK IT!" he said.
Stella opened her mouth wide, but the dildo was too big. She gagged as it
went down.
Bob watched stroking his cock. He knew he better fuck her before she did the
dildo for after that she would be no good. Bob walked over to her and put his
cock in her pussy. He was going slow. Stella moaned and begged for more .
Bob was fucking her hard. Stella felt a finger in her asshole. Soon she felt
a vibrator being pushed in. Bob was doing both her holes. Stella was going
crazy. Her pussy erupted. Cum covered his cock.
Stella was soon sucking his cock, tasting her own juices with his. With her
pussy well lubed, Stella lowered herself onto the dildo. She screamed as it
tore her pussy, but she couldn't stop. She went up and down hard until the
dildo was inside her. Stella fucked herself and once again sucked his cock.
Bob fucked her once more. Her pussy was loose, but he managed to cum inside
her hoping to knock her up.
Stella laid in bed sweating. The sheets twisted inside her pussy moaning in
her sleep.
Bob Craft laid in bed with his wife sucking his cock and his eyes closed
dreaming of Stella sucking him off until he came in his wife's mouth, which
she jerked up spitting out his cum.
"YOU BASTARD!" she jerked his cock hard,
Bob woke in pain and fell out of bed holding his cock.
"Next time warn me!" she said and went to sleep.
Bob looked at her and thought, 'Just wait.'

Phillies shut out in brutal loss in Houston by CSN Philly View Profile View Forum Posts View Blog Entries Visit Homepage View Articles 0 Comments HOUSTON The Phillies were shut out by the worst team in baseball Saturday night. They got nothing going against a rookie lefthander who entered the game 1-7 with a 5.35 ERA. They went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position and left 12 men on base. The embarrassing 5-0 loss to the Houston Astros bruised the Phillies fragile postseason chances and left manager Charlie Manuel frustrated and searching for words. A night like tonight kind of I you know what its unreal, he said. Not really. The Phillies offense has gone into lulls where it cant deliver base-runners for two years now.

Many legitimate skate or surf tricks involve going fakie (also known as riding backwards). But Volcom's
Second-quarter net income... well, ouch. Talk about a faceplant. Volcom posted a profit of a mere $872,000, or $0.04 per share, compared to $4.8 million, or $0.20 per share, this time last year. Revenue dropped 25%, to $54.2 million. Gross margin dropped to 48.6% of sales, from 48% a year ago. This epic fail is a far cry from the gains that fellow sports brand Under Armour
Given Volcom shares' dive today, investors seem to be focusing on the company's dismal third-quarter guidance, which landed well below analysts' current estimates. Even more chillingly, Volcom said the revenue it gets from Pacific Sunwear
It's hard to find many bright spots in this earnings release. Volcom does have a great balance sheet, with $96.2 million in cash and equivalents and no significant debt. That improves the company's odds of survival, but does nothing to quell worries about Volcom's overall direction.
Is the Volcom Stone gathering moss?
Volcom's "youth against establishment" ethos still fascinates me; the company's dedication to that creed seems a lot more authentic than that of many niche youth retailers. (Don't get me started on Hot Topic
In 2007, the company halted a decade-long sponsorship of the annual Warped Tour music festival, deciding to hold its own event with bands from its in-house music label instead. The Warped Tour has real "street cred" among the demographic Volcom covets, and abandoning it for Volcom's own show might have been a mistake. From what I can gather, Volcom Entertainment bands are touring individually this year, which pales in comparison to the fairly awesome lineup the 2009 Warped Tour has assembled.
In the conference call, management insisted that the Volcom brand's still going strong. CEO Richard Woolcott said Volcom was named the No. 1 brand in action sports by several industry reports. The company is still involved in many promotional initiatives, such as the "Let the Kids Ride Free" contest, a new surf movie called BS!, and the X-Games, where it will advertise its road-tested denim.
I'm sometimes tempted to buy shares of this Motley Fool Hidden Gems pick, but I never quite pull the trigger. Right now, I'm feeling even less inclined than usual. The nasty economic environment is just the tip of the iceberg in Volcom's path. Can the company keep its young customers feeling -- and loving -- its rebellious vibe? Today's quarterly tidings give yet another reason to wait for the next wave.
Got firsthand feedback on how Volcom's faring? Think bailing on the Warped Tour was a big mistake? Sound off on Volcom in the comments below.

Color, Dance, and Fun
By Jesús Aguado
From San Miguel de Allende to Campeche, Chihuahua, Nuevo León, and back; that was the journey that the sanmiguelenses took with the Representative Folkloric Ballet of San Miguel de Allende.
The ballet celebrated its 40th anniversary with a wide cultural program featuring guest dancers from the north, south, and center of the country performing in public exhibitions of Mexican dance. Nevertheless, the group, founded by Gloria Rodríguez Navarrete in 1975, decided to hold a spectacular closing with music, color, dance, and folklore.
The members of the ballet performed traditional local dances, such as the Hortelanos (orchard workers) that is danced to the rhythm of a drum and a flute; as well as that of El Torito, a piece in which the dancers—a devil, a crazy, and a matador—tease an ox made of cardboard.
The music changed, as well as the costumes, the colors, and the dancers. The most emotional moment was when the wind instrumentation band of the Aguascalientes Brothers appeared on the stage, playing live music from Nayarit for the dancers. Some members of the ballet dragged the attendants to dance, while others whistled and laughed their way across the stage carrying colored fish and sea stars made of paper.

A re-issue of the original 1977 Incus LP featuring thirty-five additional minutes of previously unreleased music. Drummer and cornetist John Stevens' groundbreaking freedom-of-expression unit is given some nice packaging, featuring historical factoids by Ian Vickers and former SME member, saxophonist Evan Parker. The band itself was akin to a collective, yet this outing marked a diversion, largely due to the absence of horns (although Stevens blows the cornet in spots). The organic, homespun stylization of the music emanates from Nigel Coombes' salty violin lines complementing acoustic guitarist Roger Smith and cellist Colin Wood's nip and tuck forays. The frenetic perimeters of the music demand the listener's utmost attention. There is mention of the original, negative Melody Maker review, which apparently caused Stevens some dismay at the time. But as history frequently demonstrates, innovation does not necessarily become recognized until years after-the-fact.

Vand' Oeuvre
This French avant-garde quartet presents an album title that is a play on the musicians' names, while signifying the understated complexities of group-based interplay. With its asymmetrical structures, angst and minimalism, the music is quite didactic, especially from a free-form improvisational stance. Slow burningly climactic, it's partly about grunge style distortion-based guitars, layered horns and jagged dialogues. Overall, the artists pursue an evolutionary and unhurried discourse, spanning various cycles in parallel fashion. The coarse tone of the proceedings present a few challenges to the discerning ear, but the free-floating nature of the program reveals hidden surprises upon repeated listens.
In 1970, they were hailed as "The American Led Zeppelin, and released four albums, straddling a brief life cycle that ended in 1973. Thirty-years later, the ex-Vanilla Fudge and Jeff Beck Band rhythm section of Carmine Appice (drums) and Tim Bogert (bass) realign with guitarist Jim McCarty. Vocalist Jimmy Kunes replaces the quartet's original singer, Rusty Day, who passed away in 1982. Nonetheless, this is a worthy reinstatement of what was a truly powerful and rollicking boogie/blues/rock outfit. Consisting of tuneful themes, McCarty slams the pedal to the proverbial metal here. In essence, he extrapolates upon motifs founded by Beck and Jimmy Page. Appice's pounding double-bass pedal movements add oomph and zest to hard-driving tracks featuring Kunes' high-spirited vocalizations. In sum, this is a worthy re-entry into the rock scene by a band that made an indelible impression during its prime.

This Scandinavian unit commenced as a folk-rock aggregation in the mid-1990s. Now, with its fifth release, the band has projected a multi-hued aura, steeped in memorable compositions. The group effectively overcomes that sometimes opaque musical terrain in which progressive rock can lean towards the neurotic-rhythmic. To that end, the unit saves some of the technical gymnastics for choice segments, but it's the attractive harmonic interplay that separates the music from the humdrum. Female lead singer Trude Eidtang's angelic iterations are enhanced by radiance and confident projection. She handles herself with aplomb atop her band-mates' wall-of-sound. It's a quasi, pop-progressive, rock date, awash with divergent angles along with odes to early-1970s prog and 1960s West Coast psychedelics. A standout effort that reaps voluminous dividends upon repeated spins.
Swiss pianist Michel Wintsch has produced some of the WWW record label's finest recorded moments. With the WWW trio, he pursues a polytonal and largely improvised path, where airy passages enable the listener to digest the acute three-way dialogues. The unit explores darkly-hued soundscapes in often turbulent flurries. Amidst characteristically ascending choruses, the musicians join in contrapuntal exchanges embedded in fractured swing vamps and expansive rhythmic constructs. They attempt, no doubt, to keep the listener on guard. Drummer Christian Wolfarth is a textural rhythmic machine who occasionally accents his band-mates' probing developments with oscillating cymbal swashes and polyrhythmic drum rolls. In sum, this outing generates a comprehensive study in the art of intuitive improvisationat its very finest.

Holiness is one of the greatest goals we could possibly achieve. As such, as we approach this HOLIday we should look with great expectation for our God to reveal to us the next step in our sanctification process. We should really be as excited about God's sanctifying work as little kids are excited about that new hairdo and those new clothes this holiday often brings.
When I was little there were five things my siblings and I could count on for Easter—a new hairdo, a new dress or suit, new shoes, a lonnnnng Easter speech to memorize and Paas Easter egg dye and vinegar smelling up the house. This holiday was almost as good as Christmas and we got absolutely nothing done in school the week before the break.
Be assured now though, that each new joy came with its own special challenge.
I don't know about other little girls but getting my hair done was torture. I was tender headed, had zero tolerance for pain and regarded the straightening comb as my worst enemy. I don't ever remember going to a beauty shop, but there was always some poor soul willing to set up shop by our kitchen stove to press and curl my hair. Rarely did any of these volunteer beauticians come twice though, probably because it was an unforgettable experience for both beautician and me—the victim. Somehow or another I would always start in the chair, scoot forward with the intent to escape the heat and eventually end up on the other side of the room. They would always drag me back to the chair and when it was all over both beautician and victim would be sweaty, red eyed and exhausted. Oh, but when it was over, that hairdo, those gorgeous Shirley Temple curls were a vision of loveliness and well worth the torture I endured.
Then there was the shopping or really more like the shopping wars. There was always the clashing of the tastes between parent and child and of course stretching that miniscule budget to cover three outfits required patience beyond measure. The experience was frustrating for all and there were always tears shed and lips poked out but we were ever so spit shined and beautiful on Sunday morning.
Then, there were those speeches. For as long as I can remember, for some reason they always gave me a speech that was at least two pages long. I never ever got the chance to just say "Jesus rose on Easter day. The angels rolled the stone away. Have a happy Easter day".
Nooooo, I'd always get the speech that told the whole resurrection story from beginning to end with no commercials. I think I had a flashback when I saw the movie Akeelah and the Bee and the teacher had her use jump roping to memorize some words. Parents and big sisters and Sunday school teachers did the Easter speech drill with a stick or mean mugging me, but I would learn my speech jumping like Akeelah in the privacy of my driveway. When it was all said and done I would recite it perfectly and the applause was music to my ears.
The final joy was in the kitchen. That smell of dye and vinegar would always burn my nostrils but there was nothing, absolutely nothing more exciting than watching a boiled egg turn from plain white to all the glorious colors of the rainbow. Isn't it something how that egg has to withstand the hot boiling water without cracking before it could take the dye.
As I look back now I am ever so grateful for those experiences that eventually taught me that great gain is almost always accompanied by great pain and that transformation for the good always comes with a price.
I can't help but recount here those precious words in the book of Hebrews 12:2—"looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Experience has taught me well that just like with Jesus there is a cross I must endure, but my focus must always be on the joy that is set before me.
Imagine a new attitude and a new focus this resurrection season. Imagine looking forward with great expectation to all you will go through to become all God has designed you to be.
I don't know about you, but I am a work in progress, a masterpiece in the making and I am expecting God to do marvelous things with me. David said it in Psalms 139:14…"I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well."
I challenge you to go forth praising God for the marvelous transforming work He is doing in you in every season.
Looking for more insights on sanctification and the transforming work of the God in your life, be sure to get a copy of McNair's "The Way of The Holy Spirit" available at Amazon.com

- Aditya Kumar Singh
- Being an iPhone user, the very first thing that gets noticed is the build quality of an iPhone (or any apple product for that matter) stands above any smartphone in the market; the closest coming would be the HTCs.
- The second would be the smart, sleek and simple user interface, unlike the sophisticated android UI .Steve Jobs took great pride in the fact that apple products are shipped without a user manual! So simple, yet so unique in the tiniest details!
- The display of the #iPhone is a fair 326 PPI (latest iPhone has 400 approx). PPI (Pixels Per Inch) is slowly becoming the most non essential spec that is featured in the recent smartphones as it's nearly impossible for an average human eye to distinguish pixels more than 300-400 from the distance phones are held.
|Aditya and Subhranil explaining how iPhone has an edge over others in GD1.0
- Apple iPhone 6 features 2nd generation 64 bit desktop class Dual Core A8 processor which clocks up to 1.4GHz and still comfortably beats all quad core flagship Smartphones at performance, that's how power efficient apple interface is!
- Camera of the iPhone is very famous in the world of photography and the latest one features a mere 8 MP camera.Although MP(Megapixels) of a phone is'nt the only thing that determines the camera quality.Many other technical software features,for example their patented optical image stabilization, focus pixels, cinematic video stabilization are involved, that are generally not considered by the people.
- As seen, an Apple product is certainly not determined by the specs they feature as there is nothing catchy about it. To experience its performance and feel, it requires a hands-on experience, which of course would cause a deep hole in your pocket, but in general would not be regretted for sure!

The Last Place are an emotional hardcore band from Saitama. They just dropped a new demo for 2012 on bandcamp and it's pretty dang good. Let me explain what I mean by emotional hardcore though, cause that means a lot of different things to different people. These guys take a line from Endzweck and Nervous Light of Sunday. Maybe melodic metalcore is a better description? Ah, who cares; it's really good. There are two songs here, as well as 3 songs from their 2011 demo. Really good tracks with good melodies. Did I mention the free download?
I could only find one video on youtube, which is pretty unfortunate because it has HORRIBLE live sound. It's drums and vocals and nothing else, and these guys melodies are one of the best things about this music. Just listen to the bandcamp while you watch this video on mute. That might be the best thing.

Teresa Caballero
This morning, Mike and I were having a little fun at the expense of the legal system after I read a story about an ongoing corruption trial involving Judge Regina Arditti and her attorney, Teresa Caballero. A visiting judge sent an email that said, among other things, "We will convene at 8:30 a.m. That may be earlier than you're used to in El Paso County, but I'm sure you can acclimate."
Kind of a snarky thing to say, and something that rightfully raised some eyebrows. It also kicked up a lot of dust because a number of prominent El Pasoans felt is smacked of racism. I think it was wildly inappropriate and in extremely bad taste, but I'll give the judge the benefit of the doubt and believe that he is just a blowhard, not a racist.
But I digress....
This morning, I read the story about the email and said that I had heard that Teresa had testified at a hearing about dumping the emailer judge by questioning and answering herself. Mike and I went off on a tangent about how funny we thought that would look and too bad there wasn't any video or sound of that testimony, then we moved on to being snarky about Charlie Sheen. After we got off the air, Teresa called the station.
Now to be fair and open about this, Teresa has a reputation of calling and threatening to sue on-air personalities. She is also someone whom I have known all my life. She is the daughter of Dorothy McGill, one of my mother's closest friends before she sadly passed away recently. We talked and she told me that indeed, she did testify about Judge Emailer, but she did so in the narrative, meaning, she read a statement. She also told me that there are instances in which a judge can require an attorney to do a Q&A with themselves, but it didn't happen in her case.
Anyway, long story short, Teresa Caballero did not do a Q&A with herself on the stand, and she was a good sport for calling me and letting me know. But, we are a snarky show, so we might make light of her again in the future!
Thanks for clearing that up Teresa and for being a good sport!

Galois, who studied roots of polynomial equations, see the website
Here is a comment, taken from that website, by one of his teachers:
"It is the passion for mathematics which dominates him, I think it would be best for him if his parents would allow him to study nothing but this, he is wasting his time here and does nothing but torment his teachers and overwhelm himself with punishments."
01 May 2001 Bill Colson (Morgan Park HS, Math)
showed a number of different ways of writing expressions that are identities for the number 1:
-i2 = - ( -1 ) = e0 = sin2 q +cos2 q = 1
Porter Johnson mentioned the famous Euler relation
which involves the "five most important" numbers 1, 0, i, e, and p.

Graphing Parabolas: a Challenge
Fred drew a graph of a parabola (concave upward) on the board. He then wrote down the formula for a parabola, y = ax2 + bx + c, for a > 0. [The parabola is concave upward in this case.] He then asked these two questions:
Q1: For what value(s) of x does y = 0?He then drew a horizontal line through the parabola, so that there were two zeros, x±. Since the parabola is (apparently) symmetric about its minimum (apex), we expect that xmin = (x+ + x- )/2. That is, the parabola is left-right symmetric about its apex. We may employ the quadratic formula to calculate the values of x at which y = 0:
Q2: For what value(s) of x does y take on its minimum value? Why?
How do you show that xmin = -b/(2a) using simple algebra?Porter Johnson calculated the minimum value of y:
Who can answer either or both of these questions? More about this in the future!
Fred, you have laid down the gauntlet. Thanks!
09 December 2003: Fred Schaal [Lane Tech HS,
mathematics] Unleashing
Complex Numbers
Fred extended the consideration of zeroes of quadratic functions; ax2 + bx + c = 0 , which he began at the last SMILE class. He wrote down the quadratic formula
asked what happens in the case (a, b, c) = (1, 2, 3)?, In that
case one
obtains x = -1 ± Ö(-2).
This case, as
well as many, many others, involves taking the square root of a
number. By adopting the notation Ö(-1)
= i or i2 = -1, he introduced complex
numbers and
wrote the answer as x = -1 ± 2i.
then showed, using the algebra of complex numbers, that these two
numbers satisfy the original quadratic formula:
1 - (± 4i ) -4 + 2 (± 2i) + 3 ?=? 0
0 = 0
All right! So, complex numbers are not so complex, after all! Thanks, Fred!
Porter Johnson mentioned that complex numbers were originally used merely to solve polynomial equations, after Gauss showed that every n-th order polynomial equation has n (possibly degenerate) complex roots. Much later, a mechanical engineer named Fourier made explicit use of the Euler formula, eix = cos x + i sin x, to develop Fourier series for the specific purpose of solving problems related to time-dependent heat flow in conductors. The electrical engineers introduced the complex impedance of a circuit as a means of analysis of time-dependent circuit behavior. In addition, complex numbers play a special role in descriptions of electromagnetic waves through Maxwell's Equations of electromagnetism. In 1925, the young physicists Schrödinger and Heisenberg independently developed Quantum Mechanics. For the first time, complex numbers played a central and unavoidable role in that theory, and in virtually all subsequent theoretical developments in physics. In effect, the central theoretical concept (wave function, probability amplitude, state of the system) cannot be measured directly, although its effects can be seen all over the universe! For additional information see these St Andrews University History of Mathematics pages: Quadratic, cubic, and Quartic Equations and The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.
01 November 2005: Dianna Uchida (Morgan Park HS,
computing) Square Roots Using Sotolongo's
Dianna shared "Sotolongo's Method" for estimating square roots. This fascinating method was described in the October 2005 issue of Mathematics Teacher. Dianna showed us how it works using squares of paper (see handout) and it is an ingenious way to estimate the square root. The relationship used is: �n is approximated by s + (n-s2)/(2s+ 1) where n is the number whose square root we wish to calculate, and s is the largest integer whose square is less than n. Dianna showed us the three cases below:
|(n-s2)/(2s+ 1)
|s + (n-s2)/(2s+ 1)

This is how it starts. The capitalist economy on the global platform, is so burdened with overproduction, by the accumulation of capital itself, that circulation slows. Rates of growth in global trade slow, followed by absolute declines in volumes and values. Trade pacts, alliances, partnerships fail to generate returns necessary to offset the protectionist impulses spun off by the breakdown in circulation, by the big slowdown.
Declines in market-shares and in approval ratings, inspire the bourgeoisie and their agents to extreme, and bizarre measures. The "irrational" nature of the US withdrawing from trade pacts structured, negotiated, pursued by the US, because the pacts are "bad deals for US workers" is precisely paralleled by the issuance of an executive order restricting immigration and refugee admissions because "hundreds of foreign-born individuals have been convicted or implicated in terrorism-related crimes since September 11, 2001, including foreign nationals who entered the United States after claiming asylum; after receiving visitor, student, or employment visas; or through the US refugee resettlement programs." It's all about the other; it's always about the other, the "foreigner," the enemy.
Nothing fulfills the narcissistic disorder like an enemy, except more enemies.

Forex News Trading – How To Do It
It is no secret that Forex news trading often brings traders the best moves of the week. Therefore, everybody is looking for ways to capitalize on the big events. However, trading a big move is not as easy as it seems. You need a solid plan for taking action in such situations. Without a good plan, you are better off not trading the news at all.
What Do I Have To Know About Forex News Trading?
Some wonder why a news event makes the market move so much. Want to know why? Mostly because thousands of traders either buy or sell various assets in a short time. More precisely, in less than a couple of hours, sometimes minutes. This happens immediately after an important economic report is released. Hence, a spike in the price of the correlated instruments is often present. This makes trading the news so exciting. Nonetheless, it is just as risky as it can be profitable. Most brokers also increase their spreads during news releases. And still, you can profit from Forex news trading just like plenty of traders already do.

If Obama was a car brand, what would it be? According to a just released survey, he would be a posh BMW. John McCain, on the other hand, would have to conform with the more blue-collar – but extremely "real American" – Ford.
No wonder, then, that Obama would be driving that BMW as the übercool James Bond, while McCain would be thrusting away in a Ford pick-up as the red-blooded Jack Bauer. Well, at least that's what respondents to the just released 2008 Presidential ImagePower survey say.
With voters striving to survive the barrage of polls and surveys thrown at them 24/7 by every media outlet, branding guru Landor and market research firm Penn, Schoen & Berland found a clever way to still get some of that ever-shortening attention span.
Forget all those dull questions like "who do you see as more trustful" or "which candidate do you regard as more reliable on the economy". Right, like any of that really mattered. At the end of the day, people will vote for the candidate they like the most, and they choose it based on the narrative he has attached. The rest is just pointless babble.
In this consumerism-plagued world, what better way would there be to gauge the narrative attached to each candidate than to find out what brands people identify them with? So, in a repeat of the exercise premiered in 2004, the Presidential ImagePower survey now pitched Obama, McCain, Palin and Biden against a set of brands, in 15 categories, to see how people perceive them.
In most categories, the brands selected for each candidate reflect the common perceptions about both men. When asked to name some attributes for the candidates, people characterized the Democratic nominee as charming, approachable, compassionate, intelligent and unifying, while his GOP opponent was seen as strong, reliable and respected.
So, while Obama is a Google, McCain is a AOL. Where McCain is a Wall-Mart, Obama is a Target. There are also some similarities, with both candidates being identified with the game-changing Ipod, as well as with Starbucks and MySpace. Each of this brands is seen as transformative, and this is how both Obama and McCain are perceived. One being the eternal Republican maverick and the other the first black candidate to the presidency, there's no great jolts there.
There are, however, some startling surprises. In almost half of the categories (7 out of 15), respondents attributed the same brands to Obama and… Sarah Palin! They are, for instance, both identified with Google and People Magazine. Will Palin be shocked to find herself in such, uh, "un-American" company?
The similarities are even more pronounced between McCain and the Democratic candidate to the vice-presidency, Joe Biden. They share brands in 12 of the 15 categories.
In a presidential race that is all about change, both tickets have strived to stake a claim to the concept. As Scott Siff, exec VP at Penn, Schoen & Berland explains, "this similarity in the candidates' brand strategies also indicates that whichever candidate best achieves the positioning they are both trying to claim may well be the winner on November 4".
According to branding laws, this should spell victory for Obama. The Democratic candidate, having been the first to position himself over the "change" axis, shall have the top-of-mind advantage – something very hard to beat.
However, before we start chanting "President Obama", it must be pointed out that the 2008 results mirror the 2004 survey in identifying the Republican candidate with mass-market brands, whilst the Democrat is identified with premium ones. And we all know how that election turned out.
So, what to make of this? Will the top-of-mind rule award victory to the Democratic well-constructed narrative of change? Or will Palin's "real America" come out on top at the end, and again push the red-blooded, down-to-earth guy all the way to the White House?

Yes, one could wonder while seeing this pic. Don't worry, I was just standing in the rain, watching my kids playing tennis, like every afternoon. Rain or shine…
But while the majority of "soccer moms " will support their kids is sweat pants, leave it to the french to wear something a little more glam'. Here I chose a Zara Classic day dress in leopard print which will give me the opportunity to tell you a little more about leopard in fashion.
Cavemen use to wear leopard furs to protect them from the cold but also to gain strength and courage from the animal spirit. In 2565 AD, the Egyptian princess Néfertiabet was buried in an asymmetrical leopard sheath, a symbol of power and hommage to Bastet , protective goddess of mothers and children but also to Sekhmet, goddess of destructives forces. These two feline divinities evoked both woman creative and destructive powers.
In the U.S, leopard print was the staples of starlets and always had a tacky version. The first Grand Couturier to use leaper print not only fir and turn it into a beacon of elegance was Monsieur Christian Dior with the launch of his Couture house in 1947. Yes, leopard prints were part of the new look and it was an instant hit within the clients. Below here is the "Afrique" evening dress and her little sister "Jungle" afternoon dress from the SS1947 collection both of which I would gladly wear today.
This August 29th 1953 leopard print bustier gown covered sequins is an absolute beauty
and we can admire its modern version in John Galliano for Christian Dior 2008 Haute Couture Collection
Though the leopard print has been despised by the bourgeoisie who found it vulgar and offensive, it continued to go strong decade after decade and survived any fashion trend imposing itself as a wardrobe staple.
Catherine Deneuve, Yves Saint Laurent absolute muse and perfect image of ice cold femininity, adopted leopard prints through out her life. Here in the 70's wearing a leopard print trench coat, the mere essence of the "Rive Gauche", both independent and teasing to be tamed by the right man.
And is still able to teach Kate Moss some major fashion lesson throughout the lens of Patrick Demarchelier.
During his Fall Winter 1997-98 Couture Collection, Jean-Paul Gaultier sent down the catwalk a satin and leopard fur bustier gown which sent the PETA association through the roof. They were really close to throwing a pot of paint at the insulting garment. Thank got they didn't.
Alaïa, Dolce Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli , all three brands known for their voluptuous and sensual vision of women make a prodigal use of the famous print. Dolce and Gabbana being famous for lining their clothe with it.
From accessories to make up, perfumes and even kids collections, the leopard print is everywhere.
But do not forget that the first one to use it for a perfume ad was again Monsieur Christian Dior in 1949 for his Miss Dior perfume illustration by Gruau in 1949, still so modern and feminine . And this powerful animal still leads the way for empowered yet feminine and seductive women all over the world. the only downside, you can never go cheap with leopard unless you have style and you know it.

David and Mary Alice Stevens have a particular burden for evangelism and leadership development in the French speaking world. Starting January 2015 David will serve as pastor of the International Bible Church of Jurbise, Belgium. As a couple, they will be leading and shepherding this French/English speaking congregation with a vision to reach the multinational community in the area with the gospel. David will also be periodically involved in pastoral training in French speaking Africa where an estimated 95% of pastors have no formal biblical training.
The Stevens previously served as missionaries in France (1985-2000) and David as Sr. Pastor of Central Bible Church in Portland, Oregon (2000-2014). David is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and holds a Th.D. from the Faculté Evangélique de Vaux-sur-Seine near Paris, France. David and Mary Alice have three adult children and three grandchildren. Your support will specifically assist David in coming alongside African pastors with the training so urgently needed.

Since Sunshine was young, I have encourage him to understand the value of money. We started froggy bank with his weekly allowance and cookies sales. He feels empowered to buy things because he has his own money.
It was great that he was excited spending his money but I wanted him to learn about saving and giving. So, we started a spending, savings and sharing banks. The spending account is for anything he wants to buy. Savings is for the future and when he has filled his bank, we will take it to the real bank to open a bank account. Sharing is for buying gifts for or treating others.

For much of his career, photographer Weegee was, in his own words, "spellbound by the mystery of murder." His images have the air of a still from a film noir, photographed as they were usually at night and often with infrared film and flash. He paid special attention to the expressions and gestures of his subjects, who for the most part came from the lower strata of New York society.

In their book "The Leadership Challenge" Kouzes and Posner express the importance of trust this way:
Trust is at the heart of fostering collaboration. It's the central issue in human relationships within and outside organizations... Individuals who are unable to trust other people fail to become leaders. (The Leadership Challenge - P. 163)
In "The Speed of Trust", Stephen M. R. Covey notes that in high trust organizations the speed of every aspect of the business goes up and costs go down, whereas in low trust organizations speed suffers while costs can rocket upward. (The Speed of Trust - P. 13)
Trust is the lubricant that lets an organization work smoothly and quickly. In high trust situations ideas are communicated with a minimum of effort, tasks are completed without excessive oversight, processes flow without excessive rules, and people feel valued and empowered. In a low trust environment, a cultural friction develops that causes the slowing of systems, growth of management structures to oversee and monitor work, establishment of new bureaucracies, and creation of rules. In these environments true leadership becomes almost impossible.
Because they can't bear to be dependent on the words and work of others they [leaders] either end up doing all the work themselves or supervise work so closely that they become overcontrolling. Their demonstration of lack of trust in others results in others' lack of trust in them. (The Leadership Challenge - P. 163)
The leader's own assumptions about the organization play an important role in creating a high trust environment. Edgar Schein says that "... a fully connected [communication and information] network can only work if high trust exists among all the participants and that high trust is partly a function of leader assumptions that people can be trusted and have constructive intent." (Organizational Culture and Leadership, p. 370)
If a leader starts from the position that people cannot be trusted, communication and information networks cannot function quickly. The cultural friction slows every aspect of the organization.
A lack of trust is often translated into a feeling of suspicion. A leader working in a suspicious system feels that everything that is done should be questioned. Employees feel that they have to cover their backside with extra work, and that everything will be checked, and double-checked. Within all of this effort, the lack of trust (suspicion) robs the leader and the organization of time and money.
Mahatma Gandhi believed that "When there is suspicion about a person's motives, everything he does becomes tainted." (The Speed of Trust, p. 8) Therefore, in organizations where there is low trust, no matter how much additional work is done, it is the underlying motives of the leader or workers that will be questioned. There will always be the search for the hidden agenda or conspiracy.
In his Leadership Diamond Model, Dr. Peter Koestenbaum expresses the belief that trust is an essential part of the ethics of the leader. (The Philosophic Consultant, P. 46) Koestenbaum would agree with Schein that a leader's assumptions about the organization, and the leader's ability to behave in an ethical manner toward the organization (an attitude of care and empathy for humanity, and how our actions affect others), contributes to the environment of trust within an organization.
But, if the experts agree that trust is so important to a leader's success, 1) why do so many leaders fail to understand that their inability to succeed is tied to their own inability to establish trust within their organizations? And, 2) what can a leader do to create trust when it does not naturally exist?
Before a leader can start to build (or rebuild) trust, a leader must understand that a trust gap exists. This is a bit like starting any 12 step program - the first step is recognizing that you have a problem, and need help. Without recognition, you can never cross the gap because you are unaware that it exists.
As to why so many leaders fail to see the trust gap, it is hard to say. But it is likely that the answer lies within the leader. Kouzes and Posner show that managers and leaders "... with the highest control scores have the lowest personal credibility." (The Leadership Challenge - P. 166) Credibility is an essential element in trust; we tend to trust people we see as credible. Highly controlling behavior on the part of the leader sends a signal that is received as "You don't trust me." When I see myself as trustworthy, and receive the signal that says I am not trusted by the leader, I respond in kind; I will not trust the leader.
Let's say you are the leader in question. Breaking this cycle starts with you. Before you can ask others to trust you, you must first demonstrate your trust in others. This means going first, being willing to risk, and communicating.
Communications - letting people know what you are thinking, when you are thinking it, and why you are thinking it - is the starting point. Constant, person to person, open, and honest communications is a step in recreating a trusting relationship. Self-disclosure, and a willingness to be vulnerable to others whose behavior you cannot control is all part of this process. (The Leadership Challenge - P166-170)
There is more to the process. And, if you are interested in taking the journey required to rebuild trust, I recommend both The Leadership Challenge, and The Speed of Trust. In addition, a good coach could be worth their weight in gold (literally speaking). Creating trust within your organization could make the difference between success and failure, for both you and the organization.

When was the t-shirt invented?
The t-shirt evolved from undergarments used in the 1800s. As you can imagine we here at You Design It couldn't be happier that it was created! To us this evolution of undergarments eventually becoming t-shirts is so innovative that we feel like it ranks right up there with creation of fire or the wheel, certainly as good sliced bread! The invention of t-shirts has saved kids all around the world from having to play in long sleeve button downs and overcoats.
Could you imagine washing your car with an old used button down shirt? Talk about a lot of scratches to your car from buttons. Now we have old t-shirts that can be recycled and provide the perfect shine to your car without scratching it. Of course the t-shirt also makes a logical choice of garments to actually wear while working outdoors.
And what would have happened to the retro t-shirt industry? It simply would not exist if it weren't for the invention of t-shirts. The retro button down shirt industry could have potentially been big but I'm just have a hard time seeing it.
Many of the old fabrics are being improved upon in ways we had never thought was possible before. Cotton is being called "charged" making it lighter, softer, and moisture wicking. Polyester has gone from a scratchy, itchy fabric to a high-performance fabric used by many sports teams. These fabrics are being blended together to create even more high-performance t-shirts and power combos. These new opportunities provide t-shirts even more room to grow as a staple in the apparel industry.
The t-shirt industry continues to expand and the technology for printing on t-shirts continues to improve right along with it. This will ultimately allow the t-shirt to evolve into something with even higher quality, that is more comfortable, and has improved usability. As the popularity of t-shirts grows, the printing industry will increase its t-shirt styles, colors and offerings.
It is pretty safe to say that t-shirts will not be going anywhere anytime soon. It is certainly not considered a dying industry much like the paper printing industry. As a t-shirt printer, this makes me very happy; however, as a t-shirt wearer, it makes me even happier.
