The Tips to Help You Get the Best Office
Many businesses that have just been started are finding their peaceful time while working in offices. You find that some business persons who hold meetings like to book some conference halls. These are the best places to discuss their personal stuff about their business without having any interruptions from the intruders. If you are looking forward to holding a meeting and wondering where you need to start, then you are at the right place. It does not matter what you are searching for, but no matter what your needs are, you will still find a solution.
It is not advisable to just bump onto some office for hire just because you have some issues. There must be some good reasons why you moved from your previous office including space. You should never hire any offices before you are certain that it will fit all your workforce. You might want to look at the design of the office before moving in or making any bookings. All offices have a different number of desks, and that is the reason you need to be considerate. Some office owners will allow their clients to take their desks to their new places, but others will give their own desks.
If you do not want to regret having rented the wrong office, you need to look at the future too. If you sense that you will not be having any growth in that office you are about to rent, then you should look for an alternative. Ensure that you have settled in a flexible place where you will grow with time. An office where you cannot rearrange the position of your stuff is not preferable. For that reason, you need to ensure that you have desks that are portable because you will have an easy time. You all know how important it is to give the best impression at first site and for that reason, you need to mind about the reception of your office.
The office that you move into has its own design. You will find that the differently designed offices range different regarding prices. There are some that are very expensive and yet not worth it while some are affordable and have the best features. You should remember that even after you have bought the office, you will need to attend to other matters. Get a place that you feel you will change the style anytime you feel like and not just somewhere you will be prohibited. For instance, you can have an area where you will be dining as well as hold some meetings.

POLICE today revealed the Midland driver arrested for drink driving after an horrific coach crash will not be quizzed until he has recovered from his injuries.
Six people were left seriously injured and dozens wounded after the coach, which had been travelling from Birmingham's Digbeth Coach Station, overturned near a motorway service station.
Detectives at Thames Valley Police today confirmed the driver of the National Express coach was a 34-year-old man from West Bromwich, but refused to name him.
"The coach driver was arrested on suspicion of drink and dangerous driving and is still being treated for arm and chest injuries,' said a force spokesman. "Police will not interview him about the incident until he is well enough."
The driver was one of 12 people taken to Northampton General Hospital following the crash.
He and three other patients - a 60-year-old man from France who has cuts to his head, a 45-year-old woman from New Shrewsbury who has a dislocated elbow and shoulder and facial injuries, and a 28-year-old man from Coventry who has a cracked knee - are still being treated at the hospital.
The other eight have been discharged.
Two patients remain at Milton Keynes General Hospital - an Australian woman and Polish man.
The two patients being treated at the JR2 in Oxford are a 39-year-old woman from Worcester, who has a head injury, and a 61-year-old man from Kenilworth, Warwickshire, who is suffering from arm, pelvic and facial injuries.

DIY Wood Grain Stenciled Pail + Giveaway!!!
Hi. My name is Talitha and I'm addicted to shiny things. There. I said it. Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right? As much as I like shiny and sparkly stuff, I've always been a little afraid of glitter. I blame it on a first grade art project that ended with me washing glitter out of my hair for weeks! But, when Amy from Mod Podge Rocks emailed me asking me if I would review her new line of stencils, I decided that maybe it was a good time to give glitter a second chance. BTW, after getting Amy's email, I may or may not have done a little happy dance while yelling, "SHE KNOWS ME!?!?" a la Buddy the Elf. Yeah. I know. Me = weirdo.
First things first, these stencils are awesome! For serious, peeps. Not only are they adhesive (praise the Lord for no smeary messes!) but they are totally washable and reusable! Love! Plus they are totally versatile! You can use them on so many different types of mediums with so many different craft products. Imagine using these stencils with a little fabric paint and making your own pillow! Or some glass paint on a mason jar! So many possibilities!
Anywho. On to the tutorial. To make my little stenciled pail I needed a piece of paper (to catch that messy glitter), the stencil (duh), Mod Podge, glitter, a pail (from the Target dollar aisle), a spouncer, and a paint brush.
Start by carefully peeling the stencil off it's backing and placing it on your pail. Spounce/dab a little Mod Podge onto the stencil. Work thoroughly but quickly because Mod Podge dries quickly! Slowly peel the stencil off of the pail.
Pour glitter over the Mod Podge-d areas. Dump off any excess glitter. Beware the dreaded glitter mess. And whatever you do, don't let Joey P. from first grade near the glitter. Just don't.
A little glitter will still be clinging to the pail. So once the pail has dried just grab a big fluffy brush and brush off the excess glitter.
Isn't it cute!? I tossed a few springy eggs into my pail and it now sits with my little spring display.
Now on to the fun part! Who wants to win a stencil of their own!? Enter to win using the Rafflecopter widget below! Good luck!
Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I was provided with a product in exchange for an honest review.

This has been a nightmare week for Barack Obama, without a doubt the worst of his presidency so far. Steven T. Miller, acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service has resigned over his agency's targeting of conservative groups, which even The Washington Post labeled this morning a "horror story". Yesterday Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the House Judiciary Committee on a host of issues including the Benghazi debacle, in what can only be described as a train wreck of a performance. Holder was simply unable or unwilling to answer most key questions, and demonstrated a level of contempt for elected officials in Congress that was breathtaking. It was yet another public relations disaster for the Obama team.
In addition the administration has come under heavy fire over the Justice Department's monitoring of phone records belonging to Associated Press journalists. All this has combined to create a perfect storm in the first year of Obama's second term, a wave of scandals that has been so damaging to the standing of this administration that even The New York Times today carries the headline on its front page: "An Onset of Woes Raises Questions on Obama Vision". When even the usually subservient inflight newspaper of Air Force One has doubts over the job the president is doing you know the situation is really desperate for The White House.
George F. Will, one of America's most influential political commentators, and a columnist for The Washington Post, believes there are "echoes of Watergate" in both the IRS and Benghazi scandals. As Will wrote earlier this week:
The burglary occurred in 1972, the climax came in 1974, but40 years ago this week — May 17, 1973 — the Senate Watergate hearings began exploring the nature of Richard Nixon's administration. Now the nature of Barack Obama's administration is being clarified as revelations about IRS targeting of conservative groups merge with myriad Benghazi mendacities.
Will doesn't go as far as saying that Barack Obama will suffer the same fate as Nixon. After all, Obama benefits from a Senate controlled by the Democrats. But there is no denying the parallels between the sense of impunity in this White House and that of Richard Nixon's four decades ago. In fact it's considerably worse on many fronts.
Political analyst Michael Barone warned back in October 2008 of what he called "The Coming Liberal Thugocracy," referring to then Senator Obama's call for his supporters "to get in their face" when confronting Republicans and Independents. Barone argued at the time that "Obama supporters who found the campuses congenial and Mr. Obama himself, who has chosen to live all his adult life in university communities, seem to find it entirely natural to suppress speech they don't like and seem utterly oblivious to claims this violates the letter and spirit of the First Amendment."
Barone's predictions have been proved correct. As I've noted in previous pieces, this is a nasty, brutish, imperial-style presidency that is highly intolerant of dissent, and which goes out of its way to target political opponents. It is ironic that one of the journalists threatened by the Obama White House in recent months has been Bob Woodward, one of two Washington Post reporters who originally broke the Watergate scandal, and who was immortalised in the 1976 Oscar winner All The President's Men, where he was played by Robert Redford. Woodward was warned back in February by White House economic adviser Gene Sperling that he would "regret" remarks he made on the sequester issue. Other writers, including Bill Clinton's former special counsel Lanny Davis, have faced similar threats.
Is it any surprise that conservative groups have been targeted en masse by the federal government following the kind of deeply unpleasant rhetoric used by Vice President Joe Biden, who supported the charge by Democrat Congressman Mike Doyle of Pennsylvania that Tea Party Republicans had "acted like terrorists" over the debt issue? Biden has been a master of this kind of divisive, heated language, telling union members at an AFL-CIO rally in Detroit in September 2011 that "you are the only folks keeping the barbarians from the gates." At the same rally, Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa declared: "President Obama, this is your army, and we are ready to march. Everybody here's got a vote. If we go back, and we keep the eye on the prize, let's take these son of a bitches out and give America back to America where we belong." Needless to say, President Obama remained silent on both the Biden and Hoffa remarks, and in the following year called on his supporters to take "revenge" against Republicans at the ballot box.
This week, thanks to unprecedented levels of Congressional and mainstream media scrutiny of the actions of the Obama administration, the American people have been given a powerful insight into the way in which this presidency has operated. For far too long, the Obama administration has acted like an imperial court rather than a government that is accountable to the nation. The White House's culture of arrogance and impunity, coupled with a deeply unpleasant vindictiveness, is increasingly there for all to see. Suppression of political dissent, a callous disregard for the loss of American life in Benghazi, and the relentless rise of big government – these will be three of the most of enduring images of Barack Obama's imperial presidency.

Video Review
Discjunkie's Comments
Wow! This steelbook is just awesome! I guess that these new Autobahn steelbooks all look good but Shortbus definetly takes a price for that extra edge.
But it was an absolute pain to photograph this thing and the colour might come of as a little weird. The main tone of the tin is bright pink (dispite the redish look of the photos below).
The orgie-artwork for the front cover is done in a nice beigh skin-tone, clear white, and as a third installment, some of the bodys are also done in a metallic silver-like fashion (these look gray in most of the photos).
All in all, I guess it's the pink that really hits a nerve with me. I'm not a major fan of pink in everyday life but when you slam it onto a steelbook it's totally fuckin orgazmic.
This set seems to have most the same extras as the other regions but adds a short segment called Make Love Not War, while it's missing the short How To Shoot Sex featurette found on the R1 release.
But apart from this, it's all there; Audio commentary, Deleted scenes (this release has the same deleted scenes as featured on other releases but it seems that the titles of the individual scenes differ depending on which release you get) and a half an hour making of. As a great big plus, we also get the full length soundtrack CD with this release.
And finally: all the extras come with optional german subtitles.
The cover incorrectly states the aspect ratio as 1.85:1 when it's actually 1.78:1.

Simone de Beauvoir
1949 (2010 translation)
Just to give some idea of how big this book is, how dense, how many ideas one can encounter in it, here is a list of things I considered writing about but did not. I realize that theoretically this is my blog and I could, if I so desired, use it to write about nothing but The Second Sex for the next several months, but there are other books I'd like to write about here! So, in no particular order…
- De Beauvoir's righteous takedown of literary writers, especially Montherlant. I particularly like the section on him because she shows that when one group oppresses another and attacks it as weak, the oppressive group is actually attempting to show that it is strong, but actually it demonstrates the opposite. This is described as "pissing on caterpillars;" he can easily terrify a small insect, but the fact that he is spending his time intimidating a being less powerful than himself shows only that he does not feel capable of facing his peers. Similarly, in the works that de Beauvoir eviscerates, the main character seeks out women that he can easily bully in order to show that he is awesome. She's not impressed.
- De Beauvoir's explanation of how movie stars and other visible, glamorous women function as hetaeras. I hadn't heard of hetaeras before; I looked them up and they seem a little like geishas—well-educated performers, whose role has a certain sexual cast to it, whether it actually involves sex or not. (Geishas, of course, could also be men, or so I've read; I'm not sure how this ties into de Beauvoir's argument.) Learning about history is always exciting, and I'm intrigued by the comparison, though I'm not sure whether I buy it or not.
- Her description of the unproductive tedium of a housewife's life. I'm not convinced that it is really more repetitive and ephemeral than, say, assembly-line work, and I don't think she gives enough credit here to the importance of women's work when she talks about, for instance, making jams and jellies. This is real work with actual economic value and I don't think it should be dismissed so easily. On the other hand, I'm glad she is describing the tedium that many women felt, quite some time before Friedan discovered it.
- Her powerful argument for comprehensive sex education. It's funny, because she claims that she is not making an argument for sex end and that better education wouldn't solve all the problems she describes. But when she writes about the ignorance of girls concerning their own bodies, or the unbearable pressures on sexually inexperienced, newly married men and women, or the lack of respect for consent that results from both this lack of education and a general perception of sex as something that women tolerate—the result is a very eloquent argument for better sex education. (If I were making the post, I'd also write about how it is a little frustrating that de Beauvoir goes out of her way to explain why women don't experience sexual enjoyment under circumstances that I would certainly describe as rape –surely this is obvious?—and how pleased I am that we don't really use this concept of "frigidity" anymore.)
- The actual discussion question about de Beauvoir's famous anti-essentialist argument that- "one is not born but rather becomes a woman." What I find interesting is how carefully she defines what she means by becoming a woman. In some ways it seems less like a description of a category of people and more like a shared idea (although she doesn't exactly say that explicitly and I'm aware we're coming soon to writers who do). In any case, it seems there are degrees to which one can resist the process of becoming a woman, or at any rate the process of being identified with "Woman." And here I'm getting into issues of the translation; apparently the earlier translation used "a woman" where this one sometimes uses "woman," and from what I've read, there's some controversy about it. I don't really read French, especially not with that level of nuance, so I don't feel qualified to evaluate which translation better expresses the meaning of the French text—but I am detecting that it matters.
- The relationships between The Second Sex and other books we've read earlier in the Year of Feminist Classics, especially A Room of One's Own, which I think has goals substantially similar to de Beauvoir's but approaches them much less directly. The Second Sex is more literary-academic than the others we've read so far and includes citations to just about everything. Of course, it's also true that many of her references are to books in French, so they're less familiar to an Anglophone like me.
Those are just the things I considered writing about—there are very many more I didn't consider writing about but perhaps should have. I haven't seen too many posts about The Second Sex—it's a difficult book to get through—but I'm hoping more show up as there is really a lot to say.

Found the Kawai!
Finally, after years of searching, I've finally managed to track down a Kawai KS-11-XL. Actually, the seller tracked me down from the link on this blog!
What's a Kawai KS-11-XL you may ask ...
One of the Made-in-Japan quality guitars from the late 70's. This is an original Kawai design rather than the more common jap LP/Strat copies, and is a higher-end guitar, comparable in many ways to the Yamaha SGs of the same era ... which puts it higher up the quality and sound scale than many of the more famous US-made guitars from the late 70's. In my opinion, of course!
Solid mahogany body with a curved maple top, 3-piece set mahogany neck, double cutaway design, twin HBs, Badass bridge.
I bought the "top end" model (KS-12-XL) back in the late 70's (thanks, Tim Gentle Music!), and for many years it was my only or main guitar. I still have it. I found the low-end model (KS-10) on eBay a few years ago, and it was a "genuine eBay bargain" - not a phrase that you hear that often. I'd missed an immaculate KS-11-XL on eBay before that, and am still kicking myself for that. If the buyer ever finds this blog ... contact me!
So when Matt contacted me through this blog, telling me about his KS-11-XL, I was slightly more than happy, and a deal was done. Guitar arrived yesterday and it's in amazingly good condition for a nearly 30-year old guitar. It's the violin sunburst finish rather than the natural, which is why I'd still be interested in hearing about any natural-finish examples ... if any still exist!
Pics to follow ...

Hi there, I have a natural finish Kawai and have only this morning found out what it is that I actually own - nearly all Google results for "Kawai Guitar - KS-11-XL" point to this blog! I am not a serious guitarist, in fact I haven't picked up an electric for years - the Kawai has been sitting in my parents loft for nearly ten years now as it is fairly knackered re: the electrics pick-ups etc. I bought it off a friend of a friend in about 1986 and I think he had had it from a secondhand shop in Chester where I was brought up. It differs from the photo on your site in having had an extra switch put in by the volume and tone controls and also having the biggest tremelo bar I've ever seen in my life - don't know the make and as I say it's at my parents. If you have any more info on the guitar I'd love to hear it - email is firstname.lastname@example.com

i am french, 50 years old, and bought a kawai guitar in 70's.
My guitar is nearly the same as on your photo, there is only a plastic part fixed with 2 screws on the table, to protect it.
Also you put the jack not on the table, but on the side of the table of the guitar.
I always play with it, and it has a pretty sound.
If you have any information more on this guitar, my email is:

My name is Johann and I'm living in Iceland. I'm a happy owner of a guitar like that and just started to play actively again. Could you send me information about this guitar? Also if this is a "vintage" or valuable guitar?
I would appreciate comments and info on the e-mail, email@example.com
Thanks in advance

Sailing into the Future with Millennial's
(An excerpt from TJ's book The Caring Warrior: Awaken your Power to Lead, Influence, and Inspire.) Buy Your Copy Today
Oh Captain, My Captain!
Navigate your future Captains! Your boat is heading into unknown waters and adventures, and regardless of which generation you are part of, the crew sailing your vessel, will soon be nearly all from the millennial generation. If you want to boldly sail into the future reaching your many destinations, you will need to center your boat's MAST – and your millennial crew.
(I refer to millennial's as "they" or "them," not out of disrespect, but because I am a Gen-Exer.)
How is the millennial generation like the mast of a boat?
- The direction of the sail, the boom, pivots on the mast.
- The mast holds the lookout position for dangers and new destinations.
- When future waters get rough, the mast will be the core of the ship.
"Despite struggling with debt, recession, and the jobs crisis, millennial's—who will account for 75% of the workforce in 2025—are not motivated by money. Rather, they aim to make the world more compassionate, innovative, and sustainable.
More than 50% of millennial's say they would take a pay cut to find work that matches their values, while 90% want to use their skills for good. The future of work lies in empowering millennial talent. Deloitte's 2015 Millennial Survey found that 7,800 future leaders from 29 different countries say the business world is getting it wrong. Some 75% say they feel businesses are focused on their own agendas rather than improving society, while only 28% say they feel their current organization is making full use of their skills."
Millennial's want what we all want. They want effective leaders who care, who inspire, and who have a positive influence on their careers and lives. They want to be valued for their unique skills, ideas, and potential. They want to be accountable and to be coached, but they want you to treat them like human beings, not human capital. This generation is about honest and open communication. Effective leaders set the example when they involve their people in respectful conversation, encouraging creativity rather than suppressing it for some personal or political agenda.
If you give people you're coaching and lead by giving them a voice, you will generate better ideas and better solutions. You will certainly get more buy-in. And even if a better solution doesn't surface, you're still giving them that respect and opportunity.
The Caring Warrior – Buy Your Copy Today
Meaning: Millennial's have been exposed to unprecedented amounts of violence, technological advancement, and social upheaval. While they get tagged with a reputation for superficiality and narcissism, the truth is that they want to make a positive difference in the workplace and in the world. It is not enough to just give orders and point toward distant waters. This crew needs to understand why.
- Consider your purpose, and explain it.
- Include meaning and positive contribution in your messaging and communication.
- Provide feedback that speaks to contribution and purpose in addition to coaching on skills and competencies.
Autonomy: Like Gen-Xer's, millennial's not only prefer space and autonomy, they demand it, dude! Seriously, with speedy access to information and solutions, you would be wise to not micromanage or hover. I'm not sure anyone responds well to someone breathing down his or her neck.
- Be clear in your communication. Then, let them give it a try.
- Help them process mistakes rather than stopping and correcting them. Coach, don't instruct.
- Trust them to do their work. If you've established clear goals and expectations and have provided resources and support, then watch, don't meddle.
Stimulation: Millennial's not only have the collective attention deficit that we all seem to have, but they also crave new challenges, ideas, and interesting approaches they are confident they can get it done—and they will—but please do not bore them. Keep things interesting.
- Be creative in your project designs and methods.
- Involve them in discussions about overcoming challenges and making things easier and more efficient.
- Regularly talk about where they are heading in their learning and development. Make sure you connect what they are currently working on or doing with their future goals.
Truth: No BS. is group has seen and heard it all. They won't salute if what you're saying doesn't sound legitimate and authentic. "Because I said so," rarely works with children, let alone adults. Be candid and straightforward but respectful. Give them regular feedback in small doses—just don't act like you're the supervisor in a 1935 steel mill or Captain Bligh (mutiny was his fate). Talk with them like a human being.
- Tell people what you can, when you can. Help them avoid political landmines. Help them navigate the complexities of the people side of the business, and they will pay you back with their commitment and contribution.
- Keep people informed about where they've been, where they are, and where they're going.
Captains, like any great leader-explorer, set out for distant lands, seek adventure and success, but remember your crew is the mast (and the wind) that will get you there.

Summit County Fishing Report: Muddy waters challenge anglers
Special to the Summit Daily
Summer thunderstorms can quickly muddy sections of a stream or river, something that we frequently see on the Eagle, Roaring Fork and Colorado rivers this time of year. When the clarity is down, switch to big, dark streamers, or increase your nymph sizes. Keep in mind that in off-colored waters, dark colors such as red or black are more easily seen by the fish.
The Blue River below Dillon Reservoir has been fishing decent with mysis shrimp, attractor patterns (try red or pink) and various midges. The upper sections of the Colorado River have the best clarity and are offering solid dry-fly action. The lower sections below State Bridge are stained but fishing well with stones and other large nymphs.
The action on the lower Roaring Fork has slowed. A better bet is to fish above Carbondale. When the breeze is up, try ant patterns. Hopper/dropper rigs are also a good bet. Water levels on the Eagle have dropped to ideal wading levels. Look for good evening caddis action.
Wolford Mountain Reservoir continues to produce good numbers of kokanee for those trolling. Fish are being caught shallower than in prior weeks.
Williams Fork Reservoir has been producing fair numbers of smaller lake trout for those jigging. Water temperatures are in the mid-60s. The best fishing is in the early late hours for trout. Pike have moved deeper. Working drop-offs with spinner baits or spoons is a good option.
Jefferson Lake has recently been stocked with catchable rainbows, offering great action for those looking just to catch a few fish. Most any bait or lure will produce a few fish at this time.
Taylor Park is fishing well for lake trout in 65-80 feet of water when jigging various lures right on the bottom. Tipping with sucker meat or a night crawler will increase your catch rate. The reservoir has also been recently stocked, making for good fishing if fishing deep for lakers isn't your game.

A new National Employment Law Project report says more than 70 percent of contract workers are not paid overtime. It also says a quarter of contract workers report minimum wage violations.
Assemblyman Roger Hernández says contract workers are being treated unfairly because some employers want to duck their responsibilities.
"More and more folks that are doing the same work as the internal, or in house worker, are getting paid less for the same work that's being rendered," says Hernandez. "That's driving down middle class jobs in California."
Jennifer Barrera with the California Chamber of Commerce says companies shouldn't have to be on the hook for contract employees over whom they have no control.
"You could essentially not be able to control any of the working conditions of the employees and still be held liable for the wage and hour violations that are committed by the employer," says Barrera.
The Assembly Appropriations Committee will take up AB 1897 next.

So, is the Childrod site a parody or not? Looks like a joke to me, especially when you view their other products on the left. But when you click to buy one a legit paypal form comes up. (Don't hit "buy now".)
At the time I took this news IQ quiz about half the people taking it scored a mere 50%. I'd love to give this to a couple of Fox-watching friends to see how they do. They'd fail miserably, I'm sure, but they would also most likely lie about their score anyway in order to protect their warped and misinformed world view. So go ahead and take the test, it's short. I scored 100%.

Library Partnerships: Making Connections Between School and Public Libraries
Squires, Tasha. Library Partnerships: Making Connections between School and Public Libraries. Medford, NJ: Information Today, 2009. Print. ISBN 978-1-57387-362-8
Yes, money may be meager and time is tight, but remember that you have allies trying to achieve many of the same goals you are. Who? School library media specialists and YA librarians. And this new book is all about building partnerships between both.
Tasha Squires, the author and a YA librarian, has extensive experience collaborating with school library media specialists, and in Library Partnerships, she offers much practical advice to help others seeking to do the same. She covers the obvious, like checking the other person's schedule before offering to launch a collaborative project, and the not so obvious, like thinking to ask if your partner prefers a steady routine or likes variety when returning to a familiar project. Examples of collaboration range from coordinating author visits between school and public libraries to having school educators share classroom management skills at the request of YA librarians who were overrun with kids visiting their public library after school. -- Jen

What they're called isn't the issue though. It's about how much one currency is worth against others, and what one pound or one euro actually buys you. You'll have the right amount of monies in your bank account, but things might cost you more monies to buy.
I see it as spreading risk. Collectively the currency is more stable. Whereas Big Dave would like to have a separate currency so that UK Plc are able to bet the farm on occasional big wins because that's how investment banking works. Right?

Norway doesn't pay billions to be part of the EU, does more trade with it than UK does, and doesn't have to comply with its fishing laws. There are more ups than downs for them.Brilliant piece here from Dr Andy Williamson. He's an EU analyst, critic and adviser. Does a good job of explaining what happens in various democratic bodies (EU included) in layman's terms. Here, he takes the most common misconceptions and pro-exit arguments, and debunks them. I'm going to link and then quote a bit from the intro and conclusion. http://www.andywilliamson.com/10-points-to-consider-about-brexit-and-the-eu-referendum/Essentially, an exit from the EU would leave us with all the disadvantages of still being a member, but none of the power to vote on changing them. Like Norway. And it would add a whole lot of new and exciting disadvantages on top.We're about to be inundated with a lot of pointless noise. If the pre-whining is anything to go by, most of it will be wrong. Frankly (as you might have gathered), I'd like the whole thing to just go away. It's a pointless debate detracting us from things that really matter (like reforming the EU for the modern age or tax avoiding global corporations). In short, the idea of leaving the EU is somewhere between bat-shit crazy and economic suicide. Perhaps the most depressing thing is that this referendum, and an entire country's future, is at risk of being decided through ignorance. Ignorance led by mis-information and a false sense of identity that fails to grasp that this is 2016, not 1816. We're being fed a diet of half-truths and outright lies based on short-termism when the real issues are not just complex but fundamental to our economic and geopolitical future.

I'm not sure that it works as a comparison at all, but it is interesting to note just how much they've had to to accept in order to have access to the free market, and that's coming from a much stronger bargaining position than we'll have.IanHamlett wrote:I'm not holding Norway up as an example of what UK would be outside of EU, but I don't think it works as a cautionary tale either.

text: STYLE At Saint Laurent, Lots of Leather, Slouchy Boots and Sex Appeal 4:16 PM PST 2/28/2017 by Booth Moore FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Images Anthony Vaccarello showed his sophomore collection on Tuesday evening. Anthony Vaccarello really, really wants you to wear slouchy boots this fall. That was the dominant message of his high-gloss Yves Saint Laurent collection, held outdoors Tuesday night at the brand's still-under-construction Left Bank headquarters, where guests sat on marble covered bleacher seats and were given black YSL blankets to try to stay warm in the winter rain (what we won't do for fashion). A multigenerational gamut of stars turned out for the first big blockbuster runway show of Paris Fashion Week, including Kate Moss, Catherine Deneuve, Zoe Kravitz, Travis Scott, Amber Valetta and Eva Herzigova. It was Vaccarello's second season designing for the storied house, which had before him been closely aligned with Los Angeles under Hedi Slimane's leadership. Many of the shapes Vaccarello showed were familiar from last season, including micro-mini dresses with asymmetrical hems, single puffed sleeves and fan-like of frilly shoulder details. A longer-length draped cognac leather dress and a single shoulder black gown with a cognac leather frill on one shoulder felt newer, as did those boots — over-the-knee styles pulled up over jeans, or bunched below the knee and worn with black leggings, leather shorts or short skirts. There were a few rose accents, too, including sculpted, red-leather rosette choker necklaces and rosette-embellished ankle straps of stiletto sandals. Bomber jackets were another key shape, and cropped shearling versions with sculptural shoulder details seemed ready-made for magazine shoots, if not for real life. The collection had women's and men's items, as well as a finale of couture looks aimed at the red carpet, including the aforementioned boots covered in crystals, worn with a disco ball of a dress. Saint Laurent, the brand's namesake designer, was one of the first to 'free the nipple' on the runway in the 1960s and '70s, and Vaccarello did it again this season showing a scoop-front black velvet peplum top over a mini. Ever an equal opportunist, he sent one of his male models out shirtless, too. Verdict on the sophomore outing? A lot of new clothes, not so much new design, but enough to stoke the brand's cool.

My youngest son and I recently spent a day in Vancouver while my oldest son was doing some scuba diving. A morning trip to the Vancouver Maritime Museum was followed by a delicious repast at a Kitsilano Thai restaurant while we decided what to do next. Before my son and I finished our lunch, we had decided on a walk through Pacific Spirit Regional Park, where we expected to find trees and trails, serenity and scenery. The west coast of British Columbia is replete with stunning greenery, so the expectation was an obvious one. If we had stopped at expectation, though, we would have missed the actual experience of the forested environs. Expectation may have prepared us, but it would not usher us past preconceptions; for that, we would need to be our own guides.
The maps at the trailheads and intersections helped us find our way as they did for all the other urbanites seeking some recreational respite, but they did not lead us to the tranquillity we sought. Maps and signs will not do this for us. Having set out with some intentionality, though, we did prise out some of the many gems to be found here. The grove of vine-covered trees in the above photo was one of them. Hopefully, the photo conveys the sense of the place and not just the beauty of it.
The perception of beauty, some argue, is an evolutionary throwback selected through ages of successful survival. On the other hand, I would contend that our perception of beauty, austerity, and wonder is a mirror. There's a book I read that says that the architect of this planet left a signature on every facet of what I see around me. It would make sense then, that something in me would be built to recognise this signature. Perceiving the signature, though, is not enough. This is where the mirror comes in.
Witnessing something beautiful and wondrous in this mirror awakens something within us. Desire rises up. Desire, though, exists in lack, but this lack does not make the mirror a cheat. It is an invitation. Will we bravely gaze upon our lack in the mirror and see the only One who will ever fill it?

"No. 73" is one of the "Faces-series". The portraits are part of an ongoing project of the human face.
Shown are not portraits of actual people, but of fictitious characters. The face as the-mirror-of-our-soul allows a seemingly endless variety of expressions. Other portraits from the 2002 faces series are in show locations throughout USA and Germany and in various private collections in Florida.
One key element of these faces is the invitation to interactivity: With the option of grouping the individual paintings in clusters, new relationships between single characters are formed. An option for large scale works with a strong overall visual impact emerges. Selecting one or more paintings, the investor creates his or her own unique composition.
Hans Feyerabend won many awards and his works of art are collected on 5 continents and is on public display in USA and Germany.
He studied drawing, painting, sculpture at a Master of Architecture Program and Degree and at the Academy of Arts, Berlin (Kunsthochschule Berlin). In addition to oil and acrylic painting, he creates sculptures, installations and designs style. Through his techniques of addition and subtraction, figurative scenes emerge. Hans Feyerabend is living and working in Miami as a professional artist since 1998. I went to see the artist at his studio in Miami.
Exclusively for US-Arts we have chosen 16 motifs of the "Faces-series", which are available at our gallery only. Basically, the "Faces" are for hanging unframed. We deliver a suspension loose and free of charge on request. If you want a frame for a single "Face"or multiple "Faces", I like to take care about finding the right framing for you.
Please note
Also available as a fine art print in limited quantities
Due to the digital representation of the artwork it is possible that the color reproduction on your monitor maybe differ from the actual colors of the original painting or of the fine art print.

Use the Security Settings page to manage organization information, reset your organization secret, configure passwords, and set up two-factor authentication. Only the organization administrator can access the Security page.
Configure Passwords
Configure the password policy for the users in your organization on the Security Settings page. Cloud Elements supports the security needs of a variety of organizations by allowing you to specify password length, complexity, how often user can reuse passwords, and how long before passwords expire. The password requirements apply only to users who log in with user name and password, not through Google or Github.
The password configurations for length and complexity identify the minimum required. For example, the following length and complexity requirements mean that user passwords must be at least eight characters, and include at least one uppercase and lowercase character, one number, and one symbol.
The Symbol Character Set defines the allowed symbols. So if you require symbols as part of your password policy, you can add or remove specific symbols.
If you make a mistake or just want to return to the original default password policy, click Reset.
To configure passwords:
- Access the Security page.
Note: If you don't see Security, your assigned role does not have access to it.
- In Password Configuration:
- Use the sliders or enter numbers to define the password length and complexity requirements.
- Delete any special characters that you do not want to allow, or enter any additional character that you do want to allow.
- Use the sliders or enter numbers to define how often user can reuse passwords and how long before passwords expire
- Click Update.
Set up Two-Factor Authentication
Cloud Elements supports two-factor authentication through SMS and Google Authenticator. Both methods require users to enter authentication codes after the successfully enter their user name and password. They can resend the code repeatedly, but if they enter the code incorrectly three times, Cloud Elements locks them out.
To set up two-factor authentication:
- Access the Security page.
Note: If you don't see Security, your assigned role does not have access to it.
- In Two-Factor Authentication select a two-factor authentication method.
- Click Update.
If you set up two-factor authentication with SMS, users receive an authentication code sent to their phone. After you set up two-factor authentication with SMS, the next time that users in your organization log in, they will be prompted to enter their phone number. The number entered must be able to receive texts. Users can resend the code as often as they want, but they'll get locked out for 24 hours if they enter an incorrect code three times.
Google Authenticator
Google Authenticator is an app that generates two-factor authentication codes. Before you set up two-factor authentication with Google Authenticator, make sure that your users have the Google Authenticator app for Android or iOS.
After you set up two-factor authentication with Google Authenticator, the next time that users in your organization log in, they will be prompted to scan a QR code with the Google Authenticator app. After scanning the code, the app displays an authentication code. After the first login, users just retrieve a new code from the app and do not need to scan another QR code.
Reset Organization Token
Cloud Elements requires the organization token — or organization secret — along with each individual user secret for every call to our Platform APIs like
/organizations, or
/formulas. You can reset your organization token, creating a new random string, at any time. Remember to update all of your API request headers to use the new organization token.
To reset an organization token:
- Access the Security page.
- In the Profile section, click Reset Organization Token, and then confirm.

Every time I go out for Italian I never order pasta, risotto or pizza… I order chicken Marsala. And my rating system for restaurants is actually based on how well they accomplish this dish. Hey, some people judge a pub by its burger so I think I can judge an Italian joint by its version of one of my all-time favorite dishes.
In between restaurant visits I satisfy my craving by recreating the dish at home. Now, the redoing of famous dishes does involve some work. You have to sort of pick at the dish while you are eating it at the restaurant to find those flavors that make this rendition so unique. Then come home, do some recipe digging and pick out both common and unique ingredients used by different people to make the dish. Then it's off to pouring over cookbook collections and glancing at family recipes just to make sure all the info and secret ingredients are in your head. As I sleep, my brain goes to work, often waking me up at 4 am with a complete list of ingredients ready to test. And finally it is off to the store to let the experimenting begin. You didn't know there was such a method to my madness, did you?
I always have three criteria for my versions of classic dishes: few ingredients, easy prep and ultimate flavor. As long as I can keep true to that I feel I have succeeded in keeping the classics alive for a cook of any skill set in today's busy world. My Super Pot lends a hand in this dish, recreating a simple, elegant, a flavorful version of some of my favorite eats.
1 lb chicken tenders salted and peppered on all sides
16 oz sliced mushrooms
1 onion, chopped
1 cup sweet Marsala wine
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tbsp Italian parsley, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper
olive oil
Heat your Super Pot to 375º F. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and brown the chicken on one side for 5 minutes. Flip and cook covered for another 5 minutes or until done. Place on your serving dish and cover with foil.
Add onions, garlic and mushrooms to the pot and brown until mushrooms are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Raise heat to 400º F. Add Marsala wine and continue cooking until reduced by half. Add cream and parsley and heat through. Pour sauce over chicken and serve.
Over to You
What's your version of a delicious Italian dish? Share and inspire us!

What political issue are you most passionate about?
As much as our nation's explosive debt concerns me—more for the sake of my children than my own—I am most passionate about the pro-life movement. The contraceptive culture in which we currently exist demeans life and women at every opportunity. Pope Paul VI warned of the consequences of contraception over 40 years ago: "a general lowering of moral standards throughout society; a rise in infidelity; a lessening of respect for women by men; and the coercive use of reproductive technologies by governments." Insightful, no? Sex is no longer reserved as something sacred. It's supposedly empowering for women to sleep with as many men who willfully use them as possible. It's practical to go ahead and give teenage daughters artificial hormones that do cause physical harm and even interfere with the biological functions of mate selection. It's ok to cheat on your spouse because it's only sex, right? Oh, it's just the times we live in that over half of babies are born out of wedlock, which happens to be the largest predictor of childhood poverty. But we don't stop at contraception or even abortion anymore, as the recent brouhaha over a journal article written by two bioethicists proved. Princeton professor and bioethicist Peter Singer suggested a generation ago that "fourth trimester abortion" should be legal to give parents a chance to cull the weak and defective born among us. The new generation of bioethicists believes neither fetus nor newborn has the "moral status" of a human, therefore, if it's ok to abort one, it should be ok to kill the other as well. How's that for logic? In a twisted sense, it's true, but what a wicked thing to expose: if this is the logic liberals have used to justify abortion for years, how can they argue it's not truly infanticide? They can't. It is infanticide, and if we allow our children to be taught that it's natural or somehow acceptable to separate truth, biology and consequence from sex, it will continue.

Do you have a need for window film that can be easily removed and reused?
It works like this:
1. You precut the vinyl window film to size (less 1/16 inch on all sides), removing the white paper liner, and installing it onto the glass.
2. When you want to remove the film, you align the paper liner to match the shape and gently press the liner smoothly against the film.
3. Carefully roll the window film and the liner TOGETHER while you peel it off the window.
4. Put the rolled film into its carton and store it in a cool, dry place, ready to be installed in your window as soon as you need it again.
We have reusable static cling window film in two varieties:
Static cling window film can be applied to the inside of standard 1/8" single-pane windows and Plexiglas windows. However if you are applying them to dual-pane windows they need to be applied to the outside surface of the glass.

When I sat down to watch this I figured it was going to piss me off, but luckily it was too soulless to anger me. Instead of getting upset I just kinda sat there in a daze wondering how much time it must have taken Jason to dig all of those tunnels and then wire them with electricity and booby traps.
Forgettable kills, Jason looks stupid, Danielle Panabaker looking hot, zero gore, very little blood, bonerless tits, Jason the electrician, lens flares, annoying dialogue, binge drinking, weed. Better than that JASON GOES TO HELL, but it's still a weak cash grab. Skip it.

I guess the writers found all of this to be very funny (and maybe I'm looking into the story too much) but I found the whole thing depressing. Poor Grant can't have a moments peace and Betsy, who is clearly mentally deranged, repeatedly places herself in dangerous situations in delusional attempts to get Grant's attention. If the roles had been reversed and it was a male stalking a female all over the joint he would have been throw in jail.
Watch if you want, but if want my advise: skip it. If you need me I'll be in my room watching BRINGING UP BABY.

What a crap movie. The story is so bare they have to utilize a narrator to keep things together. Everybody talks in some stupid future language with phrases like "That's fan-plastic!" and "Plugart's got neggie smarts for tricken no-one!" There's no cars so that means no awesome Mad Max-style car chases. Low-budget sets that look like garbage.
Not annoyingly bad, just boring. I can't imagine that any adult seeing this for the first time would enjoy it.

It began in 2007 with a few traders in the small town of Modbury in Devon refusing to give out plastic bags. But yesterday their small green revolution reached a national milestone: British shoppers have nearly halved the number of single-use bags they get through.
Figures from Wrap, the government's waste and resources programme, show that whereas 870m single-use plastic bags were handed out in the UK in May 2006, the figure for May 2009 was down to 450m – a 48% reduction, and 4,740 tonnes to send to landfill against 8,890 tonnes in May 2006.
Nationwide rejection of the bags, which take up to 1,000 years to decompose and clog drains and pollute oceans, followed a government challenge to retailers to voluntarily halve bag use by June 2009.
"Over the past year or so, we've invested £3m to help our customers change the habit of a lifetime. We've cut the number of single-use bags our customers use by 53%," said an Asda spokeswoman.
But Asda still expressed frustration at the scheme. "The populist appeal of plastic bags has obscured more pressing issues, such as packaging reduction, carbon and energy use, and waste."
Further reductions should be implemented through a carrot not a stick approach, and at retailers' own discretion, it said. The €0.15 (12p) tax introduced in the Republic of Ireland in 2002 has cut bag use by more than 90%.
Yesterday the Welsh Assembly government said the dramatic reduction in bag use would not affect its proposal to introduce a 15p charge on single-use carrier bags. "Wales is still using 27m plastic bags a month, or 324m a year, " said the environment minister Joan Davidson.
Rebecca Hosking, the BBC filmmaker who persuaded Modbury and other towns to reject plastic bags after seeing how they killed wildlife around the world, yesterday said the supermarkets had fought hard against the voluntary reduction in bag use. "What has been achieved is fantastic but they have complained non-stop like little children. You'd have thought they were being asked to go on a vegan diet or something. This has not been difficult at all. No-one has lost trade, or gone out of business in Modbury or anywhere else," she said.
The plastic bag issue has divided environmentalists with some arguing the action is inconsequential while others say it is an important symbol of reduced consupmtion and often leads to further environmental action.

Diarmuid Martin has urged lapsed Catholics to have the maturity to leave the Catholic Church. One has to wonder how he expects them to do this considering it is the church who prevents formal abdication in the first place. On one hand I admire his openness and his willing to no longer have cultural Catholics make up the bulk of membership. On the other hand I really think he needs to have a word with the Pope about the relatively recent rejigging of Canon law that prevents people from leaving. Or did Diarmuid Martin not get that memo from his holiness. To me what Archbishop Martin says is eminently reasonable, and can only be a positive for secularists. In fact it is what non-believers and secularists have been wanting for ages, a bit of reality among both believers and lapsed. Let those who are really catholic be catholic, and those who don't really believe be honest about this.
Though I don't think he realises that absolute collapse the church would suffer if all the part-time, uncommitted, wishy washy, only-go-at-Christmas catholics left. They will be left with a bunch of old people and a hard core of fundamentalists, who were much more absolutist than even the clergy.
But back to my main bugbear - he needs to have a word about the Pope about this, or is it a mere ecumenical matter.

Ever found yourself wondering what thoughts are running through your groom's mind during the wedding planning process? Even if you haven't, the women at Brides certainly have (wait, does he actually care about dahlias vs. peonies?! Unclear.). Thankfully, we've got the guys over at The Plunge to give us some insight into the (often cryptic) inner workings of the soon-to-be-married male brain.
So when you ask, "What do guys actually want a say in for their wedding?" we can certainly give you some super broad, non-specific answer of music, food, booze, the honeymoon, and maybe the registry—you know, the fun stuff. But every guy is different, every couple is different, and every situation is different. We know, that's one of those "non-answer" answers but bear with us.
You've still got your classic, zero-f**ks-given guys. They tend to vocalize that they want no part in the planning process except to complain about how much everything costs. These are the Jay Cutlers of the world. Say what you will about Kristin Cavallari, but you have to wonder how she managed to marry a guy who remains the only, highly paid NFL quarterback who consistently looked like the last thing he wanted to be was a highly paid, NFL quarterback. But, he's sure to have some redeemable qualities that only she seems to know.
From afar, this type of guy seems, well, awful, but his significant other is fine with that. So unless you're currently filming an episode of 90 Day Fiancé, you most likely know the type of person that your partner is, especially if you've been cohabiting for a hot minute. You know whether your forever roommate is tidy or messy, whether they shower in the morning or the evening, and whether or not they'll start a new Netflix series without asking first (total sociopath move on that last one, just a warning).
More importantly, you've got a good sense of the things they take active ownership of (making a mess) and passive responsibility of (cleaning up said mess). Some things they've got on lock, and others, well that lock is either broken, missing, or is still hanging on a shelf at Home Depot. This knowledge base will, in all likelihood, carry directly over to the wedding planning. Some guys will have it on lock, others won't, and many will fall somewhere in between to varying degrees of "lockitude."
For example, let's say Fianc-A is paying for a large part of the wedding while Fianc-B's family is footing the bill. You could imagine that A might have a lot more to say than B in the wedding planning because he has some skin in the game. Often, when someone else is paying, that can sideline a guy's ability to say anything. They might feel that they haven't earned the right to express their opinions on their own wedding. And well, that really sucks because you might lose him from the start.
Some of the big early decisions will have a large sway on how much your fiancé actually wants to say about the wedding. We're talking about the where and when of the whole thing. If he's not able to be an active participant in that (or doesn't want to be), then he's probably only going to concern himself with the things he's super comfortable with. Make sure from the start that equal involvement is necessary and expected.
Guys generally (and we hate to speak in generalities) don't want to agonize over things, especially the things they're not familiar with or, honestly, the things that they don't have any interest in. So let's not use quantity as a measuring stick here, but the quality of his interest and feedback.
Invariably, there's always going to be some weird little thing that a guy probably wants at the wedding and focuses way too much on—a specific brand of beer, a song that doesn't quite fit the playlist or a guest you'd rather not attend. That can seem myopic (and a little annoying), but it's actually an in to hooking him deeper into involvement and having a say.
He just might never be able to reach the same level of enthusiasm for wedding preparation as you. That doesn't mean he's not enthusiastic about it or that he doesn't care. It just means his ceiling is lower (and it's probably made of concrete). It's like when you encounter a fellow fan of Westworld and quickly find out that they don't read every article and subscribe to every fan theory about what the hell is going on. You might get frustrated that their fandom does not reach the same height as yours, but that doesn't mean they're not a fan or that their experience with this thing you share means any less for them.
If your fiancé does have some say, the question then becomes, "Will you listen?" This is your version of the "Yes, dear" effect. The quickest way for a guy to tune out is for him to feel that his contributions aren't even being taken into consideration. It's like checking his homework. That's when the shoulder shrugging and eye-rolling may start to develop.
So to come all the way back around to the original question, "What do guys actually want a say in for their wedding?" Damned if we know, and we're guys. But you know your guy. He'll be into some things, not so much into others, and he just might surprise you with his laser focus on the decoupage on all of those mason jars.

I am not planning on getting married any time soon, but I am now very tempted to attend the show just to see all the beautiful gowns in the flesh (fiber?). I will also admit to regularly thinking I'd like my wedding dress to be a Vivienne Westwood Gold Label dress like this—beautiful—one:

Pictures of the full Versace for H&M collection are finally here. I have to say that I am quite disappointed as there are hardly any pieces that I like, but it's true that I don't usually like Versace that much – I tend to find the clothes from the Italian fashion house a bit too brash and trashy for me. What are your thoughts?

I have expressed my love for Brandalley before, but if you're not familiar with the website, it organises flash sales and it's a great place to find designer items at a lower price.
Brandalley is currently hosting a Firetrap sale, including a range of great dresses, most of them now around £20. Hurry though as the Firetrap sale ends this Sunday 23rd October. (Remember you will need to sign up before being able to access the sales or any of the links in this post)
My two favourites:
This dress is perfect if you're looking to work the current grunge revival trend. I have ordered this one and will be teaming it with a black leather jacket and black leather biker boots.
Black/Red Stripe Midi Jersey Dress by Firetrap at Brandalley
Was £50 Now £20
This dress is so effortlessly stylish it hurts. The way it drapes around the model's frame is perfection and the embellishment at the neckline gives it just a little bit of edge that makes all the difference. Now, the weather might be a little too chilly to wear this dress right now, but it won't go out of style and you'll be wearing it all summer.
