Marc Bell, president and chief executive officer of Kyboe, wants to expand the watch line to include bracelets and other accessories.
Bell, whose family office Marc Bell Capital in Boca Raton took a majority stake in the Dutch brand last year, said the expansion could happen over the next 12 months. Bell said he decided to make the investment in the brand because it's his "favorite watch….I have 120 of them." The brand — whose headquarters was moved to Boca Raton after Bell's investment — was sold primarily in The Netherlands, and in resort locales such as St. Tropez and Ebiza. Bell introduced the brand to the U.S. earlier this year, and it is now sold at Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor, as well as at jewelry stores.
Bell was in town for New York Fashion Week, where the watch brand had its first runway show. Bell said he plans to take the extravaganza — essentially a live marketing campaign with models strutting down the runway wearing Kyboes around a rotating display of watch styles — on the road to other major events. He's eyeing Art Basel as a possible venue. Bell said he used his Broadway background to put together a "fun" show to introduce the brand to the U.S. market. As for Broadway, Bell produced "A Catered Affair," "Rock of Ages," "Jersey Boys" and "August: Osage County." He won Tony awards for Jersey Boys and August: Osage County.

Marvelous Designer Segment Darts Review and Tutorial
In Marvelous Designer 7, you can now quickly create segment darts on your patterns.
What is a segment dart? A segment dart is a dart created around a segment point on a clothing pattern's segment line (edge).
What are darts in general?
Darts are used in the real-world to tighten certain parts of clothes, take in loose fabric, and create clothes tailored to the model's body with a snug fit and an elegant dart sewing line. While you can often take in loose fabric in Marvelous Designer by simply modifying the clothing pattern's shape, darts are still sometimes used in creating tailored 3D clothes.
This new segment dart tool in Marvelous Designer 7 speeds up the dart creation process.
Below is a short tutorial on how to create segment darts in Marvelous Designer 7 as well as a tutorial how to achieve the same result using Marvelous Designer 6 (and earlier versions).
Here is how to create segment darts in Marvelous Designer 7:
[1] Use the Split Line/Add Point tool to create a segment point where you'd like your dart to be.
[2] Using the "Edit Pattern" tool right-click on the segment point and click "Add Dart".
[3] A popup box will appear where you can set the width and length of your dart.
The "Total Width" changes the total width of the lines to the left and right of your center segment point.
So if you type 50 mm in this box, each of the segment lines will be 25 mm in width.
The "Dart Arm Width" controls the width of the segment lines on either side of the center segment point.
So if you type 20 mm, the lines will be 20 mm on either side of the point (with a "Total Width" of 40 mm).
You can type a number into either the "Total Width" or the "Dart Arm Width" to change the width of your dart.
The dart "Length" setting will control the depth of your dart (the blue line which in the example above is 70 mm long).
Depending on your clothing pattern and design, you may want a narrow dart which cuts deep into the clothes or a fat (wider) dart which doesn't cut very deep into hte fabric. Play with it, experiment, and see what works best for your design.
The dart on your pattern will interactively update as you change the numbers in the settings box.
Once you have the dart as you want it, click "OK" to create the dart.
The dart will automatically be sewn together so no further action is required to create it.
Here is an example of a generated segment dart:
If you don't like the width of length of the dart, you can always select the segment points and move them around on your pattern to refine the dart's position and size.
To delete a segment dart, simply click on the center segment point, hit delete on your keyboard or right-click and select "Delete".
How to create segment darts in Marvelous Designer 6 or earlier versions?
Simple. Create the initial segment point where you want the dart to be, then right-click on the segment line on either side of the segment point using your Split Line/Add Point tool.
When you right-click on a segment line using this tool, a popup box will appear asking you how you'd like to split the line.
Type in the same number as you'd type into the "Dart Arm Width" box. This will add a segment point at that distance from the initial segment point.
Repeat on the other side. You'll have this result of 3 segment points:
Now using the Edit Pattern tool, click on the center segment point and holding down your Shift key, drag it downwards in a straight line like so.
You can control how deep your dart is by dragging the segment point down as far as you want.
Lastly, select the Segment Sewing tool and click on the two inner segment lines to sew the dart together.
And here below is the final segment dart. The result is the same like using the Marvelous Designer 7 segment dart tool.
We hope this Marvelous Designer segment dart tutorial helps you!

The setting sun, the roaring waves, your true love. Have a dream wedding ceremony on edge of the ocean using our ideas for unique ways to include nature in your promises.
Oceanic Readings.
Incorportate the sea's power into your ceremony by using readings and poems that reflect your love for the waves as much as your love for one another.
Rites of the Ocean.
You may want to incorporate your surroundings into your ceremony. For example, instead of a unity candle, each of you pour sand into one container symbolizing both the endurance of time as well as unity. Or, if you're having your ceremony around sunset, create vows that have to do with new days dawning, planets revolving around the sun, or the promise of a new day with each sunset. For your vows, make a circle of seashells for you both to stand inside.
Creative entrances and exits.
Since this is an unusual wedding environment, why not use your imagination when deciding where to walk down the aisle/ have guests seated/ leave the ceremony? Try making a grand entrance from behind some sea oats, or leading all your guests to the appointed wedding spot on the beach. After the ceremony is finished, you and your new husband can take a walk on the beach while your guests are bustling to the reception.
Honoring your family.
Instead of presenting mothers with flowers, give shells instead. Ask your father to walk down the beach with you for a way before the ceremony begins, and then turn around for a gentle stroll right up to your guests and groom. Adorn mothers and fathers with Hawaiin leis at the beginning of the ceremony, a welcome symbol you can use to symbolize welcoming them into a new family.

Hi my name is Nancy Lanthier and welcome to Uncommon Joy!
Being born into a military family brought upon my curiosity and love for doors and journaling at an early age of seven.
On my little bike, I would travel around the barracks to stop on the side of the road, at a 'door' that caught my eye. Sketched out that door in my little journal then proceeded to travel home and write down what I thought lived behind those doors! What a wild imagination I had! And still have today.
Throughout my life I found I gravitated towards color. Bright, bold and beautiful colors. Clothing became a way of expressing myself. Dabbling in papermaking, glass blowing, ceramics, piqued my interest over the years.
Then I came across a new avenue of expressing my feelings and emotions – designing and painting floor mats.
These hand-designed painted mats, creatively and colourfully express my life experiences past and present. Painstakingly created with love and feelings, these beautiful pieces of art are perfect for any place-mats around the house. From hallway entrance floor mats, table runners, coffee table centerpieces or even hung on the wall as an express example of abstract art.
Many different themes and styles to choose from, and prices and sizes vary.
Have a look around, read a story or two, and enjoy the world of Uncommon Joy!
Thanks for stopping by,

So what lead to this big down turn? I spoke with Jeff Roberts, a journalist and writer at Fortune, for some answers.
Hey Jeff. Thanks for being here. How are you doing?
I'm good Adam. How are you doing?
Good, good. So I guess we should start with whatever body is talking about. Obviously the bottom has fallen out of pretty much all of the crypto markets today. Everywhere you look people are screaming that the sky is falling. What do you think about that? What has that attributed too, or what are your thoughts on that?
Yeah, it's ugly out there. I mean we knew this was coming, and maybe this is the reckoning. Folks have been predicting this for months, and now it's here. I mean I've seen crashes before, but this is the worst I've seen in a while. I think ultimately it's health. You know this had to happen sooner or later, so bring it and let's get it over with, and let's see what's next.
So do you think this is linked to any kind of real world news that makes some sort of ... I know it's hard to call anything rational that's happening out in the market right now, but do you see any links that might explain what's going on, or is just the great adjustment that everyone has been expecting?
I think it's the great adjustment. I mean there's always things that trigger it up and down like [inaudible 00:02:46] China, but we've seen that before and it hasn't been this bad. Bitconnect reported a Ponzi scheme. I mean that's not good, but normally those things wouldn't be enough to explain this sort of melt down. I seen a couple of people suggest maybe there's some insider going on, or like this is a dump, or a dump happened before some really bad news hits like Mt. Gox. But I haven't heard any proof of that yet, so my inclination right now is that this is just a natural kind of deflating of some of the froth.
Got it. So I know you have been at least a proponent of Ripple, among some of the other coins. Can you talk about that? What are your thoughts on that? I know that one is crazy down as well. Was it over priced? Why are you positive about Ripple in general, and what do you think about what's going on?
I mean I have to be careful. As a journalist I'm not really positive or negative on any of them. You know I don't own any Ripple. I don't advocate for it. But the way I break them down is like do you see a use for some of these. Do you see a company behind it? Do you see people with a good team. And you know Ripple and XRP ... I mean I think Brad, the CO, is making a very good case for real world use in it, and it's run by a confident company. You know some of the other stuff like the TRONs, and some of these other things out there just seemed invented to pump and dump. Where as Ripple and XRP is sort of a product within a company, and it's being used for something. So that's why I'm more positive about Ripple than some of the other ones.
Yeah, I think that makes a lot of sense. And there's a lot of misunderstanding, specifically around Ripple, but I think in general about how to value a coin versus how to value a company, and Ripple definitely falls in there. What do you know about the MoneyGram and Ripple joining forces? That was in the news this week.
Yeah, that's a slightly complicated story. You know the way it breaks down is this: Ripple and XRP are kind of the outlier, because it's centrally controlled. So Bitcoiners hate them. But this company that's made 100 billion of these things, released them into the market, put a bunch into treasury stock. So of course the speculators are there just like all the other currencies. But Ripple is trying to make the case that they're going to disrupt the remittance market where instead of like having companies in overseas markets have to hold a local bank account they can just hold extra [inaudible 00:04:57] intermediate currency. And since the transaction fees are very low, prepared to Bitcoin, and they're almost instantaneous they're sort of hoping that banks and market makers are going to hold some of this stuff, which will increase its value obviously in the real world along side the speculative to mention of it.
Yeah. It's interesting. I think speaking of coins that have some kind of obviously, or maybe apparent utility, actual use in the real world, let's talk about Ethereum. I hear a lot of people who get into this space they first try to wrap their heads around Bitcoin, and then they hear Ethereum. Oh it's Bitcoin, but it has this thing, this contract that can happen. Is that general why it's better? Does that give it more legs into the future? What do you feel about Ethereum?
Yeah, I'm a believer in Ethereum too. I mean with a lot of this technology I'm a believer in the long-term technology of it. The current speculative mania, yeah it's going to pop and it is, but [inaudible 00:05:53] will rise again. And the ones with something behind them will. And Ethereum is, I think, I don't want to say a winner, but I think it's here for the long-term because it's a platform on which lots of other people are building useful, decentralized applications. I mean that's very important. Likewise I think a lot of people have faith in Vitalik Buterin, the sort of boy genius behind it. You know you don't want to put your whole fortune on a 22 year old kid, but I mean Vitalik is the real deal and he seems to care.
And I've heard some people say they prefer the model of this kind of benevolent autocrat who runs Ethereum compared to the wild west of Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is like herding cats whereas Ethereum ... it's sort of like if Bitcoin still had Satochi overseeing it you could probably address a lot of the problems quicker, because you would have an authority figure. And Ethereum to me is kind of like that. That's where having Vitalik sit over it is kind of a good shephard of it, but who knows the guy is a kid so we'll see.
I absolutely love the benevolent autocrat. We're going to keep that as a defining feature of promise in crypto. That's so good.
So what about the big news from [inaudible 00:07:06] couple of months ago now, but futures. What do you think about Futures? Has that helped, hurt? How has that impact things that people are trading those now?
Well it's kind of ironic isn't it? Wasn't one of the big benefits of Futures was going to stabilize the market, let people hedge? So what happened? It seems it all went to Hell when Futures came. I think that's a coincidence, but I think it's too soon to say. I know in theory two months ago, probably like everyone else was saying, this is a good thing it will stabilize the market. But based on the last couple of days it's not ... well maybe without Futures it would be 10 times worse, I don't know.
Yeah, maybe. That's right. This might be the stable state.
So you wrote a little while ago that ICOs are a way for start ups to raise money outside of the venture capital ecosystem. Do you think that that's the future; that ICOs are going to be a meaningful replacement?
Yeah. I think there's no kind of like putting the lid back on that box. I mean it's a very smart way to raise money, it's a very democratic way to raise money. But I think people have to figure out the process. It's a new financial technology. It's a new legal technology if that makes sense. So I think we've seen the potential of it, and know I think we're probably going to go into a dark period for a year or two as they figure this out. But overall I think it's a great idea; less reliance on venture capitalists, a bigger investor base. I mean I think the long-term has a huge upside.

As a technology teacher using Netsmartz Workshop to train classroom teachers K-12, I found Netsmartz Workshop covers the many issues of Internet Safety that kids, parents and teachers need to know. For this review, I chose cyberbullying as a focal point in Netsmartz Workshop. Fun games, activity cards and videos make this site a favorite with many of the classroom teachers that I taught. Teachers and parents need to familiarize themselves with the material. This program provides numerous resources such as teacher materials, parent materials student interactive activities that all recognize the potential risk of being cyberbullied on the Internet. This program also helps children learn how to have a conversation with adults about cyberbullying online and bullying offline and vice-versa. The most important feature of this site helps kids know how to prevent being the object of a bully on the Internet and victims of cyberbullying learn how to report cyberbullying to an adult that they trust. The video link takes a tour of Netsmartz Workshop Cyberbullying. A student narrates the tour through the Netsmartz Cyberbullying pages.

Makeup artists are not created overnight but need time and opportunities to develop their skills. They are not required to go to school or be licensed to practice their trade in most states. However, enrolling in a cosmetology school with a makeup program can help the makeup artist gain basic skills and techniques. Perfecting makeup skills and building a clientele is up to the individual, and the ways to achieve that are as varied as the colors a makeup artist has at their disposal.
Learning Skills
Enroll in a cosmetology school that teaches makeup application. Look for schools with instructors working in the commercial makeup industry to obtain current knowledge about makeup technique and products. Adding a certification from a licensed cosmetology school to your resume could put you ahead of others without certification when vying for jobs.
Study the techniques of successful makeup artists. Staying informed about new trends in the world of celebrities and modeling can inform your own makeup skills. When you see an application you are inspired by, track down the makeup artist who applied it and follow their work to learn more.
Volunteer your services. Few makeup artists earn money for their services until they develop a reputation, and volunteering your services is a way to let others know you are skilled as a makeup artist. Many build a customer base by working for free or low wages for small film and television production companies, student films, budding photographers or local organizations putting on events such as fashion shows or theater performances.
Practice on friends and family. Practice new techniques and try new tools on your friends and family members before introducing new ideas to customers. Give your friends and family business cards so they can recommend you to others.
Ways to Advance
Specialize your skills. Take courses and classes about special makeup skills such as special effects, corrective or permanent makeup. Makeup artists with specialties broaden their earning potential. Look for classes from product manufacturers and professional makeup artists working in specialty fields.
Train with a makeup manufacturer. Becoming certified as a professional using a particular makeup brand can help build your clientele. Loyal customers to certain makeup brands provide a built-in customer base. Contact makeup manufacturers to learn about their training and certification programs.
Work as an assistant to a makeup designer. Makeup designers work for fashion designers, photographers and film and television production companies. Working under their direction can help you learn more about the many ways makeup is used to convey emotion, represent an era and support an actor. Makeup designers usually have assistants and senior makeup designers working for them.
What to Expect
Obtain a cosmetology license from your state cosmetology board. Although makeup artists do not need licenses, having a general cosmetology license may be necessary to work in a spa or salon as the resident makeup professional. Licenses usually require an education in a state approved cosmetology school, passing a state cosmetology exam and paying a licensing fee.
Work long hours. Because makeup is needed before a scene can be filmed, makeup artists working in television and film must show up for early calls to set and work late nights. At the beginning of your career, you may be working in cramped quarters and uncomfortable conditions for no pay. You will need to be innovative and flexible to earn a good reputation.
Provide your own makeup and follow direction. Makeup artists typically provide their own makeup and tools. They are often told what look to create and what colors they can and cannot use when working in movies or television. Owning a portable, lighted mirror may be necessary.
Work in other industries to make ends meet. Low or no pay does not mean you have to starve. Many makeup artists work other jobs while building their careers. Some in film and television also work as production or casting agent assistants. Jobs in the nightclub industry could put you in touch with people who need your makeup skills.

Even though our plans for the weekend changed (due to an unexpected funeral and horrible weather conditions) we had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The kids ended up with a full week of vacation because we had two snow days so we had some great family-time playing games and watching movies together. On Thanksgiving we shared our usual yummy meal with my niece Katie and her roommate. That night we had a fun visit with my parents. So many things to be grateful for!
Now what to do with all the leftovers? We are going to make one of my mom's delicious recipes:
Thanksgiving Casserole
6 medium potatoes, peeled, cooked & mashed (or your leftover ones)
4 cups turkey, diced
6 cups stuffing
2 cans cream of chicken or mushroom soup
3/4 cup sour cream
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Mix turkey, soup, garlic powder, and 1/4 cup sour cream. Mix mashed potatoes with remaining sour cream and cream cheese. In a greased casserole dish layer stuffing, turkey mix, and potato mixtures. Top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
It's a Boy!

Plus Size Balconette Bras
Buying bras for bigger boobs is not always easy. With the choice of plus size lingerie often limited to functional uninspiring items, larger-busted women don't always have the same choice of pretty and sexy styles that smaller women enjoy.
Here at Berdita we aim to change that and specialise in plus size lingerie in pretty, classic and sophisticated styles. We produce plus size bras, shapewear and other everyday undergarments that both look great and are a joy to wear.
We know that all girls want to feel good about themselves and our plus size balconette bras will help you do just that!
Plus size balconette bras – click here to start shopping!
Our plus size balconette bras are extremely comfortable to wear and are the ideal style for the bustier woman. A balconette bra, also known as a three quarter cup bra, covers enough of the bust to provide the necessary support with a cut that is flattering and feminine. This type of bra can be worn under a wide range of clothes including V-neck tops, jumpers and dresses.
Our popular plus size balconette bra comes in white, black and beige. The design features a pretty pink ribbon sewn around the top and a pink bow at the front. Both padded and underwired, it creates a fantastic shape for the larger bust and comes in a good range of sizes – from 30-38 D – J.
Balcony Bras
The balconette bra is often confused with a balcony bra. Similar in name, the latter covers only half of the bust, meaning it is generally not supportive enough for women with large breasts. Here at Berdita we recommend that anyone with a bust larger than an E-cup avoid the balcony style, and try the balconette instead.
Balcony Bras – A – E Cup – click here to start shopping!
Full Cup Bras
The full cup bra covers more than the balconette and this is another excellent choice for plus size girls. The full cup is more functional in design than the balconette style, as it eliminates the cleavage and covers all of the breast tissue. It is therefore a good choice for daywear, under t-shirts, when relaxing or playing sports.

BUFFLA sorry not one good answer for everyone here due to veribales did they taper you off..but it stays in the system glad you are off but i would guess it won't be long and you well feel much better I would think at the worse is a week to 10 days if they tapered you off and maybe sooner it depends on the dose you were on how high etc but if you are tapered off you really should be feeling good in a short time hope they just did not stop it cold..

Magnet schools within the school districts of Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski County Special School District were on display Saturday at the McCain Mall in North Little Rock as their institutions tried to encourage the students of shoppers to enroll into their houses of learning.
Donna Creer, executive director of the Magnet Review Committee, said 16 schools were represented at this year's annual Magnet School Fair.
"We have held these probably for 16 or 17 years," Creer said.
The annual events usually have been held at the Park Plaza Mall in Little Rock but this year's school fair was held in North Little Rock.
"We try to come where people are rather than bring them to us," Creer said. "We like to go where there is a lot of high traffic."
Creer said the committee decided to hold its fair in North Little Rock because some of the students live on the north side of the river.
"This year we wanted to do outreach in North Little Rock and Pulaski County," Creer said. "We wanted to be closer to the parents in Jacksonville, Maumelle and North Little Rock. We wanted to be in their backyard."
Crystal Hill Elementary Teacher Cindy Casto said she and fellow teachers Sherri Keesee and Pamela Keith wanted to man their magnet school's booth because they wanted to show prospective students all the wonderful programs their school has to offer.
"We are very proud of our school," Casto said. "We have a very diverse student body."
The Magnet School Fair coincides with the magnet school early application period that started Jan. 28 and concludes on Friday, Feb. 8.
Creer said students from pre-K to 12 could enroll in a magnet school.
"You can enroll anytime, but if you enroll in the early enrollment period, you have the best chance and option if you enroll now," Creer said. "You can find out before Spring Break whether you are in."
Clinton Elementary Magnet School in Sherwood was also represented.
Clinton Technology Specialist Lynn Leidigh said the event provided the school a chance for prospective students to learn about her schools many programs, including in the area of technology.
The magnet school fair was held in both the main floor and food court areas of the Mall.
On the lower level, near the food court and stage, event sponsors, the Magnet Review Committee, its staff and volunteers, shared enrollment information and provided sample applications.
Students from different magnet schools performed on the McCain Mall's stage, with demonstrations including orchestras, choirs, drama, ROTC, and dance.
Creer said the fair provided potential magnet school parents, students and interested community members the chance to ask questions and get answers.
"They could ask questions and get answers from the folks who make magnets happen – magnet school principals, teachers, parents, students and district administrators," Creer said.
Crystal Hill teacher Pamela Keith said she was happy to participate at this year's fair because it was a way to raise awareness about the magnet school program. Keith said there is a chance that the magnet school program could be done away with and she wanted to do her part to bring more students into the magnet school system and promote Crystal Hill.

Convicted felons forfeit their right to bear arms under federal law. Every year, thousands of felons across the U.S. have their rights reinstated, often with little or no review, reports the New York Times. In several states, they include people convicted of violent crimes, including first-degree murder and manslaughter. Congress started allowing states to dictate these reinstatements in the 1980s as part of an overhaul of federal gun laws orchestrated by the National Rifle Association. The restoration movement has gathered force as gun rights advocates have sought to capitalize on the 2008 Supreme Court ruling that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to bear arms.
This gradual pulling back of what many have assumed was a blanket prohibition has drawn relatively little public notice. Indeed, state law enforcement agencies have scant information, if any, on which felons are getting their gun rights back, let alone how many have gone on to commit new crimes. The Times examined hundreds of restoration cases in several states,

Homemade Herbed Tortillas With Avocado, Arugula & Apples (They're Vegan!)
If you've ever had a homemade tortilla, fresh off the pan when it's still warm, soft, bubbly and slightly charred, you'll know that store bought doesn't compare.
I made them for the first time recently (and then again and again) and was surprised at how easy they are to prepare. There are a few tricks to it though. The dough needs to rest a bit before you roll them out. Your pan (a cast iron pan or flat-top grill is best, but you can use any pan) needs to be the right temperature. Too hot and your tortillas will burn quickly. If they take longer than a minute to start bubbling and blistering, it's too low, and the tortilla will be tough. So preheat your (dry) pan to medium and adjust after the first tortilla.
Usually, tortillas are made with lard, shortening or butter — solidified fats — but since I wanted to use avocado oil (you can use olive oil) to make these vegan, I put the oil in the freezer until it solidified into a gelatin-like consistency. A solidified fat works better than a liquid one because it's easier to cut it into the flour and get it all crumbly. With a liquid fat it's easy to get oily spots in your dough.
I layered these with a combination of everyday ingredients that went so well together it felt magical. Even the recipe is easy to remember: avocado, apples, arugula (3 A's) and some sliced tomatoes, topped with a pinch of alfalfa sprouts. I smeared mine with a little organic mayonnaise before eating this, but that's a personal preference.
Ingredients for the Tortillas (makes about 7 seven-inch tortillas)
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached white organic flour
- 1/4 cup avocado oil (or olive oil) — solidified
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 cup hot tap water (I ended up using a bit less)
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1 or 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh Italian parsley (flowers only) — optional
Ingredients for the Topping (for one tortilla)
- 3 or 4 thin slices of avocado
- 2 or 3 thin slices of apple — cut in half
- 1 or 2 slices of tomato — cut in half
- Handful of fresh baby arugula
- Season with a pinch of sea salt
- Garnished with sprouts
Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix. Add the chopped parsley if you like.
Dot the flour with the solidified oil and mix with your hands until the flour is crumbly.
Add the water slowly, mixing the flour in (with your hands) until the flour comes together to form dough. You may not need all of the water
Place the dough on a lightly floured board and knead until smooth.
Let the dough rest back in the bowl (covered with a tea towel) for at least 15 minutes or so. This will make the dough more elastic and easier to roll.
Roll the dough into a thick log and cut into 7 equal pieces.
Flatten each piece into a disk with your hands on the lightly floured board. Then, with a rolling pin (add a dusting of flour if a bit sticky), roll as thin as you can (about 7 or 8 inches wide)
In the meantime heat your skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. You can also use a nonstick pan if you don't have cast iron. The pan should be dry.
Add the tortilla and cook on one side until it begins to blister and the underside is golden and lightly charred (about a minute); flip and cook for about 30 seconds or so.
Store in a dish covered with a tea towel to keep warm while you cook the others. Once they cool they'll get hard quickly, but once you reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds, or in the oven, they return to being soft.
To Fill: spread with mayo (or other spread) if you like, top with the arugula, apples, avocado and tomato. Season and top with the sprouts.

Some Notes on the Factor Analytic Treatment of Measures Obtained on Two Different Occasions.
Hakstian, A. Ralph
Five models are introduced for the factor analytic treatment of a set of measures obtained for the same sample of persons on two different occasions. The models differ in terms of the assumptions made regarding the constancy of the (1) factor (actually component) score and (2) factor pattern matrices from occasion 1 to 2. Least-squares procedures are developed for the estimation of the component scores and patterns under four of the models; canonical correlation procedures are developed for the fifth. Illustrative examples using these procedures are presented, and the research implications of the hypotheses and procedures underlying each model are discussed. (Author)

On Syria, NGOs Talks Up GA Action in Club of Group Which Throws Press Out
By Matthew Russell Lee
UNITED NATIONS, December 1 -- After the failure of two resolutions on Syria, New Zealand on October 13 circulated a draft resolution, which Inner City Press published that day, here.
On November 23 Inner City Press was informed of an "Egyptian draft on Aleppo," which would demand a "ten day humanitarian pause around Aleppo with 72 hours advance notice."
It would also call for a ceasefire throughout the country and "the separation of Security Council designated group from other armed groups" and "request that the Secretary General report to the Security Council on the implementation of the resolution and provide options for the preservation of the cessation of hostilities in the city of Aleppo within 14 days of the adoption of the resolution."
On November 29 Inner City Press reported on the vote that may be called under the so-called "Canadian initiative" to get a General Assembly plenary meeting might ramp up to a request for an emergency plenary, or invocation of the Uniting for Peace procedure.
Now on December 1, a group of NGOs is holding a press conference -- in the clubhouse of the United Nations Correspondents Association, a group which has thrown the Press out, including out of the UN. NYT here.
While Inner City Press respects some of the groups, they could easily have gotten a member state to sponsor a real UN press conference, on UNTV. So this bodes badly. Here, regardless, is their release (from the group, not the UN Correspondents Association, which mails only to those which pay it money):
The Head of Amnesty International's UN Office, said:
"It is becoming clearer every day that the UN Security Council has failed the Syrian people. There have been almost half a million deaths, and each one is a stark rebuke of the Security Council, the supposed guardian of international peace and security, which has allowed a political deadlock to stand in the way of saving lives.
"This is why we, along with 224 civil society organizations, are urgently calling on UN member states to take action and request an Emergency Special Session of the UN General Assembly to demand an end to all unlawful attacks in Aleppo and elsewhere in Syria. They must call for immediate and unhindered humanitarian access so that life-saving aid can reach all those in need.
"UN member states can and should use all the diplomatic tools at their disposal to take action towards ending the atrocities in Syria – the inaction we have seen over the past five years is a shameful chapter in the history of the Security Council."
Note to editors: A press conference will take place on Thursday 1 December at 11:15 am EST (16:15 GMT) in the UNCA room on the third floor of the UN Secretariat Building in New York.
Among those who will speaking to reporters and available for questions will be representatives of Amnesty International, CARE International, the Global Center for the Responsibility to Protect, Human Rights Watch, PAX, Physicians for Human Rights and World Federalist Movement/Institute for Global Policy."
It is ironic in that Egypt not only cracks down on media at home, but has its state media Akhbar al Yom operating for Ban Ki-moon and his Gallach to Occupy the longtime work space of Inner City Press, restriction it to minders while Akhbar al Yom's Sanaa Youssef rarely comes to the UN, never asks questions.
On October 26 the Security Council's session with UN Relief Chief Stephen O'Brien turned into theater, including when Syria's Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari took the floor the latest walk-out by the Ambassadors of the UK, France, US and Ukraine. Inner City Press rushed to the photo booth to film it, then back to the stakeout to ask about it.
Spain's Román Oyarzun Marchesi spoke briefly off-camera, then Russia's Vitaly Churkin, the Council's president for October (as Oyarzun Marchesi will be in December) spoke at more length on the steps. Inner City Press asked him about the walk-out and he said, it is a tool in the hands of diplomats -- in the absence of other tools.
He said the Yemen session on October 31 will be open, and that Stephen O'Brien should speak about Yemen. YouTube of Periscope here, with analysis at end.
On October 27, along with asking UK Ambassador Matthew Rycroft if the UK supports the October 31 session on Yemen being open - Yes, he said, swan song Vine here - Inner City Press also asked French Ambassador Delattre about the walk-out.
He said it was spontaneous, he didn't want to hear what Ja'afari had to say. Inner City Press pointed out that the UK, US and Ukraine also walked out. "France is an independent country," Delattre said. Video here. And Inner City Press' photo of the walk-out shows that Rycroft and US Deputy Michele Sison were standing up and Delattre was still sitting down. We hope to have more on this.
On October 27 at noon former UK prime minister, now UN Special Envoy Gordon Brown called for the referral to the International Criminal Court of the school bombing in Idlib. Inner City Press asked Brown about the bombing - by UK supported Saudi Arabia - of schools in Yemen; Churkin was asked about what was said by Gordon Brown. After asking, perhaps in jest, Gordon Who, Churkin said the UK is a member of the ICC and should have its files there. On Yemen?
(Inner City Press earlier in the month asked incoming Secretary General Antonio Guterres about Yemen, story here, Beyond the Vine video here.)

On Sept. 7, Minister Li Ganjie met with Madame Cristiana Paşca Palmer, the Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), in Beijing. The two sides exchanged views on further deepening cooperation and jointly promoting the biodiversity conservation in China and in the world as a whole.
Li began by greeting the delegation headed by Executive Secretary Palmer, on behalf of Ministry of Environmental Protection, and then gave a brief description on the progress made by China in the ecological environment conservation and the implementation of the CBD. He said, China as one of the earliest Contracting Parties has done a considerable amount of fruitful work in the implementation of the CBD. It set up China National Committee for Biodiversity Conservation which is chaired by Vice Premier of the State Council, promulgated the Strategy and Action Plan for Biodiversity Conservation in China (2011-2030), and implemented major projects on the conservation of biological diversity. As a result, the laws, regulations, and programs and plans have been increasingly improved, a basic network for biodiversity conservation has been established, and the general public and the society are getting more involved in biodiversity conservation.
The COP 15 of the CBD and the Conference of the Parties to its protocols will be held in China in 2020, which reflects the full recognition of the international society to China's biodiversity conservation efforts and will push for China to make new strides and take biodiversity conservation up to new levels. China is looking forward to working with the international community to outline the blueprint for biodiversity conservation, and will take the initiative to keep contacts with the Secretariat and relevant stakeholders, play its part as the host country of the COP 15, and mobilize the resources and wisdoms of all parties, in an effort to enable the COP 15 to become a highly productive event.
Executive Secretary Madame Palmer highly recognizes China's achievements in biodiversity conservation and the implementation of the CBD. She said, the international community is currently at a stage with an important opportunity for promoting biodiversity conservation, so the Secretariat stands ready to seize the opportunity presented by China's hosting of the COP 15 to establish strong partnership with China, and uplift the position and role of biodiversity conservation in the international agenda. She believes and will help make sure China organizes a historic and outstanding conference of parties for the CBD.

Amazingly enough, Paul Krugman is not the New York Times's worst columnist. Not as long as Frank Rich is writing. Rich's latest is on Iraq; it is a compendium of the usual far-left myths, distortions and outright lies on that subject. What is new, though, is that Rich is proclaiming the end of the war; his column's title is "Someone Tell the President the War Is Over." In Rich's view, the United States has now lost the war, and he couldn't be happier. His gleeful assessment ushers in what could be a new concept in commentary: defeatist triumphalism.
Rich likens President Bush to the Japanese soldiers on remote Pacific islands who didn't get the word that World War II had ended. He predicts premature withdrawal and disaster in Iraq:
WHAT lies ahead now in Iraq instead is not victory, which Mr. Bush has never clearly defined anyway, but an exit (or triage) strategy that may echo Johnson's March 1968 plan for retreat from Vietnam: some kind of negotiations (in this case, with Sunni elements of the insurgency), followed by more inflated claims about the readiness of the local troops-in-training, whom we'll then throw to the wolves. …
Thus the president's claim on Thursday that "no decision has been made yet" about withdrawing troops from Iraq can be taken exactly as seriously as the vice president's preceding fantasy that the insurgency is in its "last throes." The country has already made the decision for Mr. Bush. We're outta there.
There is one obvious catch, however, in Rich's rosy–for him–scenario. Much as he and his fellow left-wingers can encourage our terrorist enemy, and they do, they don't have the power to bring about America's defeat. Notwithstanding endless hectoring from Rich and his fellows on the fringe, there is only one man whose views about Iraq will really matter for the next three and a half years. His name is George W. Bush, and he isn't going to cut and run. Nor can Rich and his ilk significantly impede the efforts of America's armed forces.
In the medium and long term, what happens in Iraq is up to the Iraqis. It is certainly possible that they might forfeit what the Bush administration and America's armed forces have given them: a chance at freedom and the opportunity to live in peace with their neighbors. But if the Iraqis fail, it won't be because liberals stampeded the United States into abandoning them.

Heads up! The eBook pre-order links are now up for my next novel, Gracie's Song. I am eager to share this book with you, hence the pre-order links. You can order it now for $2.99 and have it delivered straight to your device on publication day.
What is the book about? I'm glad you asked! Here's the text from the back cover:
"Everything can be undone." That's what someone tells Gracie Brannen, but she's doubtful. After graduation, she walked away from everyone she knew with barely a word. Ten years later, she's back. Even as familiar places and faces bring back old pain, Gracie finds hope in rebuilding old ties and forging new ones. Maybe everything can't be undone, but perhaps everything can be overcome.
Gracie's Song is another contemporary novel, set in the fictional southern town of Glenwood. It's part self-acceptance, part romance. It's a different journey from The Blue Jay, but it weaves around the theme of forgiveness, giving it a familiar tie to that book as well.
Here are the links to pre-order:
One last thing, during the pre-order for Gracie's Song, The Blue Jay eBook has been priced down to just $0.99! It's the perfect time to get both and be set for your spring break reading!

Are you hungry to see Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum defeat another alien invasion with nothing more than a laptop and a pair of cigars? Then you may be in luck, for the talk of a sequel to Independence Day just won't die. And in fact, now the scuttlebutt has two new ID4 pictures being made.
IESB, who seems to be Goldblum to 20th Century Fox's Smith with the scoops they get from inside that studio, is reporting that they've received a tip that the former Fresh Prince is now locked for ID4 2 and ID4 3.
"The plan would be to shoot both films back-to-back," says the site. "Whether the studio opts to go the Matrix route and release the two films six months apart or do like the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels and split them by a year remains to be seen. According to our sources, if all goes according to plan, the sequel(s) could shoot as early as 2011."
One of the obstacles to getting a sequel made in the past has been Smith's exorbitant price tag, but apparently Fox has deemed that an acceptable risk. The plan, if it happens, will have the original's director Roland Emmerich -- who talked up the two-sequel idea back in November -- helming after his thriller Anonymous is done; the production start will also have to wait until Smith finishes his next picture (either Men in Black 3 or The City That Sailed).
This is all still rumor, but crazier things have happened. What do you guys think? Is it time for the aliens to attack again?

I love a catch up post every now and then, this week we will be enjoying the last few days of summer and my last few days in my 20's. Eek!
I hope your week has been going smoothly and that you have something amazing planned this weekend, even if it's just a sleep in.
A swim in the Ocean, I missed out on so many swims this Summer.
Sipping On:
Lemon Water.
Loads of fresh cherry tomatoes from the garden
We have been searching all over for the perfect lounge for our home. It will come, in time.
Thinking About:
The last week of Summer and also the last week of being in my 20's.
Poppy and I were doing long walks of a night, but I have since rolled my ankle.
Jeans and a T-shirt, I can't believe it's still Summer.
Cook books, I always have a few open for inspiration, at the moment it's "Movida", "Paletas" and other Spanish goodies.
Cruising in Tommy's new Kingswood, sticking to the hot bench seats, burning myself on the hot seat belts and the minimal suspension all bring back great memories.
About not getting onto my huge inbox. Maybe this afternoon?
In waiting rooms at the hospital, It's all I seem to do these days.
Pizza, it is Friday after all.
A big bash for my 30th in a week.
Reading with Poppy of a night, it's amazing how much she has learnt in seven short years.
What have you been up to lately?
Feel free to copy to your blog, let me know if you do, I would love to pop by.
