Buying Tips to Help You Choose the Right Pair of Winter Gloves
Sujata Iyer
Nov 24, 2018
How does one choose the best winter gloves? Is it just the fit and the fabric, or are there other points to be checked out too? Information here will answer these questions, and some more.
Choosing and buying winter gloves is that one decision which will help you keep yourself warm in the blistering winter. That's because your fingers and toes are the most sensitive parts when it comes to feeling cold.
They get cold the fastest because heat escapes through them the fastest. It's only natural to want to protect them as much you can, to avoid going numb in the winter. Here are some tips for buying gloves. Go through them before you go glove shopping.
The most crucial factor that you need to consider when you're planning to buy a pair of gloves is definitely its material.
What is the best material that you need to choose to ensure that you don't lose a lot of body heat through your fingertips? What material will keep you not only warm but also comfortable and dry? Let's see some tips that could answer these questions.
● Use of gloves plays a vital role in deciding the kind of gloves you need. For instance, if you need gloves for daily use, for things like a walk to and from work, go for thin, light materials like spandex or polyester.
Even fleece is a good option for casual wear. If it's heavy physical activities like snowboarding or skiing, then getting gloves in thicker, wicking material makes more sense.
● Another point to consider about fabric is whether it is waterproof. There's no point buying cotton gloves and then getting them soaked in the frost. What's worse is, your fingers will get soaked to the bone. The outside and also the inside of the gloves need to be waterproof.
● It's understandable that all fabrics are prone to wear and tear, especially in winter. However, the purpose of buying gloves will be totally lost if they wither in gusty weather. So, make sure that the gloves are resistant to wind as well.
● Another necessity when it comes to the material of the gloves is its ability to breathe. Having breathable gloves comes in handy when you start sweating. Instead of keeping your hands wet, it helps circulate air and thus prevents chilling.
The next thing that you need to take into account is the fit of the gloves. Here are some tips that will help you get the perfect fit.
● First of all, pick a pair that is actually your size. There are some who believe that loose garments help you stay warm. While that may be true for sweaters and jackets, gloves are the exact opposite.
● When you try the gloves on, ensure that your fingers enter those of the gloves easily. If you have difficulty putting your fingers in, pick up a pair in a larger size rather than trying to stuff your hand in.
● Next, when you wear the glove, your fingertips should fit 'snugly' into the gloves. This means it shouldn't be too tight. Circulation of blood is important and wearing tight gloves won't allow that.
● At the same time, the gloves should not be too large for you either. They'll fall off if you try to do something in a quick or sudden motion.
Once you've picked out a pair that fits you well, check for the dexterity it offers you. Use the following tips to do that.
● When you wear the gloves and they fit snugly, try to move your fingers around. If you find that you have difficulty moving them apart from each other, try on another pair.
● Another thing to check for is, when you close and open your fist, are you able to do it without any difficulty, or do you feel like the seams are getting too strained? If it's the latter, then these are probably not the ones for you.
● When you wear a pair of gloves, try to pick up objects with your fingers. Start with large ones like a box and go to small things like a coin or a button. Most gloves will allow you to pick up large and medium objects, but the small ones are the tricky ones. The perfect gloves will let you have a firm, strong and easy grip on small objects as well.
Cuff Length
The length of the cuffs is also important when you buy gloves. Why? Well, you don't really know how and when you're going to need short or long cuffs.
If you want to play it safe; for a pair of casual gloves, you can get a pair that has cuffs long enough to be tucked under your jacket/sweater sleeve, and snug (but elastic enough) to even cover the sleeves.
For formal or dressy gloves, you can opt for really short ones or elbow-length ones with an appropriately sleeved jacket or sweater.
Layers of Insulation
Another point to be taken into consideration taking the purpose into account is the layers of insulation that you need in your pair of winter gloves. For casual wear, you can choose a pair that has just a single or double insulation.
However, for activities like skiing, snowboarding, cycling, etc. it is advisable to have a pair that has sufficient layers; so that they not only withstand the harsh cold, but are also easy to maintain. The more layers you have in your gloves, the warmer you feel.
In case you find the thickly insulated ones too bulky and difficult to carry around, you can do one thing; buy a pair of thin or single layered gloves, and a pair of liner gloves. You can simply wear the liner gloves inside the other ones and have your own double insulation.
Note that wearing only liner gloves will not provide you enough warmth in very harsh climates, so it's always better to wear them with other gloves.
Stitch and Seam
Whenever you buy a piece clothing, one of the first things you check is the overall finish of the garment. It's the same even with gloves, in fact, especially with gloves. When you're done seeing all the other aspects of the gloves, get down to the minute details.
First, do a physical examination of the gloves and check that all the seams are tight and firm. Then, you can either check for yourself, or ask the salesman how many lines of stitching the gloves have.
It is always better to wear a pair of double-stitched ones. It will make sure that the glove remains tight and strong, and increase the life of the glove (in case of regular use). Make sure that the stitching is not coarse on the inside; you could end up with a nasty rash.
Another thing that you should check for is the placement of the tags on the gloves. Some manufacturers have the tags on the inside of the gloves. While this may conceal the tag, it could prove to be rather uncomfortable for the wearer.
So, check the gloves that you're planning to buy. If the tag itches you, don't buy it or ask the seller to give you one with tags on the outside that you can cut off easily. The best ones would be those that have the name of the manufacturer only on the package that they come in.
Extra Features
● Ever had a leaky nose (without a tissue at hand) in the midst of a crowd due to the immense cold? To avoid the recurrence of such an embarrassment again, look out for gloves that have a more absorptive material on the thumbs. Simply wipe off your nose and clean the part with a cloth.
● Also, you get gloves that are extra thick at the fingertips and the palm. These are perfect for heavy physical outdoor activities because your fingers and palm are strained the most in these activities.
● Last but not least, you need to wear gloves that suit the occasion. So, buy the appropriate gloves and wear them accordingly.
With these tips, you're sure to find that perfect pair of gloves that will help you get through another cold winter. As far as the cost is concerned, you need to be willing to shell out a reasonable amount of money if you want a pair of gloves to last more than one season.
So you might as well invest in a durable pair, rather than buying and throwing them out every year. Shop well!

If you've been trying to get your hands on any of Kylie Jenner's lip kits with zero success, you're in luck. The youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan announced on her app this morning that she'd be restocking all of her lip kits today at 4 p.m. PST, basically giving everyone enough time in advance to get their hands on some of her magic lip potion.
Here's what her site currently looks like now:
I've never seen so many products "Sold Out" stickers in my life, but Kylie's probably used to it. Especially since her lip kits have been selling out in seconds since day one and have continued to be a cult favorite since — even though a batch of her lip kits were delivered with bad brushes that looked liked they'd been through the ringer. But the beauty mogul bounced back after being called out by major beauty blogger Jeffree Star, sending replacement glosses to everyone and all was right again in the booming world of beauty.
Anyway, back to the good news at hand: Not only is it hump day (I see you, weekend!), but you get yet another chance at getting that lip kit in "King K," or whatever shade it is that's on your wish list.
So, get your credit card trigger finger ready. Good luck!

I have to admit it. My online purchases are motivated by the level of trust I have on that particular website. The product may be cheaper than other websites are selling but on looking deeper and I don't see a 'Money Back Guarantee' and off I go to another Google search.
Why I love those 3 words is because it gives me a sense of security whenever I buy anything online. To be a smart consumer is no rocket science. Products or services made available for sale online originates from humans. And as humans, mistakes and imperfection prevails.
I may end up getting a lemon instead of that cool shiny bag for my iPad 2!! What I am trying to say here is we all love some sort of protection whenever our money is parted away from us, an assurance that our money is worth its while..
Here in StackIdeas, we could never thank enough to our customers for trusting us. To keep that trust, and perhaps affirm it, we are now putting peace of mind in your purchase - a 30-Day money back guarantee.
Whether you buy our Joomla blogging component EasyBlog or SectionEx, we honor you with the 30-day policy, as enshrined in our Refund Policy page. If there is some way that our component is not up to your requirement within this 30 days, you are entitled of your money back, no questions asked.
Of course, it is our greatest endeavor to assist you in any aspect of our products to make them work for you. We thrive when we have happy customers who buy from us.
And if all else fails, we are happy to return your money. :)

Took my daughter to an aquatic center, thinking I'd only just wade in, so I wore my pump and Dexcom Seven+ in the bra area of my suit. We'd been to other pools several times this summer, and this set-up worked OK so far.
Note the buckets at the top of this picture. It was a spinning gauntlet of drenching-water-booby-trap. It got me. Got me good.
The unintentional soaking left my Dexcom Seven+ receiver giving me the "out of range" symbol for the rest of the day, even though it was always within 5 feet of the sensor on my thigh. And check out the obvious-looking water-leakage line in this next picture.
So, even though I'd been stretching out my remaining Dexcom Seven+ supplies for as long as I could before switching over, this meant I had to break open the box of my new Dexcom G4 and start learning to use it. So, here goes!!!
(I like to keep it in my pocket, and wanted some sort of protective cover regardless, so I had already bought this sassy yellow neoprene one from Tallygear.com a few weeks ago.)

There are only four segments to the protective IT security space. My detailed list of categories that I use to track the IT security industry has about 85 entries. But I have found it useful to think of IT security in four primary buckets. In my analysis, I focus a great deal on countering attacks so these categories leave out the products that provide IT operational capabilities such as governance, risk and compliance (GRC). Here are the categories.
Network security. Dominated by the firewall but including IPS, network AV, secure web gateways, VPN, data leak prevention (DLP) and beaconing detection. Watch this space as many of the secondary product vendors introduce next generation firewall products this year.
Endpoint protection. Dominated by AV vendors but including DLP, full disk encryption, white listing, desktop firewalls and IPS. Although the natural tendency is for end point protection to evolve into suites from the big vendors, new products are always being introduced by startups to address the latest attack methodologies.
Data protection. This is pretty much all about encryption but there are digital rights management (DRM) and information rights management (IRM) vendors as well. Full disk encryption (FDE) is growing rapidly as a way to prevent data leaks through accidental loss or deliberate theft of laptops and mobile devices. The difficult part of data protection is management. How do you recover or revoke keys? How do you remotely wipe devices? Microsoft is targeting this market with BitLocker and their new BitLocker Administration and Management (MBAM) console, but standalone vendors still have the advantage in manageability, reporting and security.
Identity and access management. This category includes authentication mechanisms, directory management and provisioning vendors. The directory business is dominated by Microsoft Active Directory, but the IAM vendors such as IBM, Oracle and yes, Novell, still have customers. AD, by the way, is Microsoft's strongest hold on the enterprise space. Each of Microsoft's products are replaceable, be it Office with Open Office or Google Docs, SharePoint with NewsGator, and each of their server products have effective competitors. But AD has taken over most enterprises and would be very painful to rip out.
This simplistic categorization of the IT security space is helpful in many ways. As an analyst, it gives me focus. If you are an IT buyer or a new investor in the space trying to understand the myriad offerings, this model can help clarify your thoughts.

Price went for Australian Steven Bowditch and Korean Bae Sang-moon to round out his 12-man International lineup for the Oct.
8-11 matches at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in suburban Seoul.
Haas will be making his third appearance in the biennial team competition while Mickelson will extend his record run to 11, having played in every edition since the Presidents Cup was launched in 1994.
The selection of Haas was always likely as the 33-year-old won his sixth PGA Tour title at the Humana Challenge in January and finished 11th in the Cup standings, just one spot shy of automatic qualification.
Five-times major champion Mickelson, however, languished in 30th spot, having not triumphed on the PGA Tour since the 2013 British Open, though his form has steadily improved in recent months.
"Phil has made the past 20 Ryder Cups and Presidents Cup teams without needing a pick so, if anyone deserves a pick, it's Phil Mickelson," Jay Haas said of the 45-year-old.
"He was without question the leader of our team in the team room and on the golf course. The guys on the team were adamant that Phil was the guy."
Mickelson record in the Presidents Cup is 20 wins, 16 losses and 11 halves.
Haas said that his son had always been likely to get picked as the 11th player in the standings and that, like Mickelson, he had been hugely supported by the players and assistant captains.
"Bill deserves this as much as anybody," said Haas senior. "He's had a wonderful year."
Bowditch ended up 11th in the International standings and was a likely choice by Price after clinching his second career victory on the PGA Tour at the AT&T Byron Nelson in May and producing consistent form this season.
Bae got the nod over Australian Matt Jones, despite finishing 19th in the standings, and will give Price his second Korea-born player at this year's Presidents Cup, alongside New Zealander Danny Lee.
"It was a difficult decision … I chose him because he has played pretty well the last couple of weeks but also because he has won on the golf course in Songdo, the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club, the last two years on the Korean Tour," said Price.
"It was also very important for us to have someone on the team that the Korean fans and the media could pull for."
The U.S. have dominated the Presidents Cup, winning eight times in 10 editions, including a victory by 18-1/2 points to 15-1/2 in the most recent encounter at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio two years ago.
The only success for the Internationals came in 1998 when the event was held at Royal Melbourne in Australia. In 2003, the two teams battled to a 17-17 draw in South Africa.

A California real estate tracking firm says Sacramento County is among areas where homes remain affordable relative to income.
The report analyzes home affordability based on the percentage of income required to make a monthly mortgage payment on a median-priced home.
Daren Blomquist with RealtyTrac says 30 percent of the 1,200 U.S. counties analyzed last May required more income to meet a mortgage than the long-term average.
But, he says Sacramento County home affordability was just a few points below its historical average of 31-percent.
"In May 2014, the median-priced home required 28 percent of a median income to make the house payment so that's below the 14-year average for Sacramento County," says Blomquist.
But Blomquist says this "extreme affordability climate" may not last.
"We're seeing home prices rise very quickly in the Sacramento market, over the past two years, median-home prices have gone up 60 percent but we saw the median household income decrease seven-percent," says Blomquist.
But he says there are signs that rapid home price appreciation is slowing, with county prices increasing 16 percent last May, compared to double that in 2013.

Just tried it. If you're not a fan of goat cheese you'll need to omit it from the recipe as it will overpower everything else in the dish. I doubled the shrimp since 1/6 pound/person seemed a li...
I enjoyed this recipe. I prepared exactly as directed and wished it had a bit more flavor, but overall it was a nice, comforting dish. Next time, I would add more cheese and maybe a little red ...
Delicious and even better the next day when the flavors melded.

Susanna Swim Top || White Stripes
What can we tell you about the Susanna top? First of all, it is named after the last living sibling of my grandfather, Jack. Cut in Oakland, sewn in SF (just like everything else we make), this top and the rest of our swim line is made almost entirely of mill ends & overages from other companies sourced in LA. We are in love with the high quality fabrics we've hunted down. We had comfort in mind when we designed this elastic-free top to be versatile enough for both swimming & wearing as a bra alternative for workouts or whatever. It is double layer for support & coverage. The neckline is almost square cut with wide-set straps that join closely in the back so that they stay on when you're out playing. Please stay tuned for photos of this one on various beautiful lady humans. We just wanted to post it as soon as possible because we know some of you have been holding your breath for it. Here it is! 80% Nylon 20% Spandex.
*Clearance item. Feel free to email with any size questions! All sales final on "Sale Basket" & "clearance" priced items.

Anniversary of Newtown
Just very quickly, a couple of anniversaries occurring around this time that I thought worthy of mention. Taking them in chronological order:
December 15, 1791, was the day that Virginia ratified the first ten amendments to the Constitution, making the Bill of Rights formally part of the document.
December 8, 1980, was the day John Lennon was shot and killed. It's a mark of his impact on the culture that people still remember the event as well as they do.
Finally, December 14, 2012, was the day Adam Lanza shot his way into the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut and murdered 20 children and six adults before committing suicide.
I'm not going to go through the blood-stained halls of the school, running down a timeline of events, that has been done too many times to too little purpose. In fact, if you want to know to just how little purpose, know that there is an online computer game - or at least was, there is an effort to get it taken down - called "The Slaying of Sandy Hook Elementary" which allows you to re-enact Lanza's actions, starting with the murder of your mother in her sleep before you head for the school. At the end of the game - which at the school lasts the same length of time as Lanza's massacre - you are scored on how many people you managed to kill.
The author of the game, one Ryan Jake Lambourn, claims that it was intended to be "about [the] importance of gun control" but even assuming that is somehow true, this is such a sick way to do that, that it demonstrates just how sick our whole gun culture is.
And we are indeed sick with guns, obsessed with guns, drooling over guns, saturated with guns. We as a people, as a culture, are hooked on, addicted to, the feelings of power, of independence, of control that guns bring. Even those of us that don't own guns - and actually, that's the majority of us: In the last 30-plus years, the number of individuals who own guns has never exceeded about 30% and the number of households with guns has never exceeded 50% and both those figures have been on a gradual decline - but even those of us who don't own guns get sucked into the mythology of it all.
Still, something else I'm not going to do is go through the arguments over guns - I refuse to say "gun control" because the sort of tepid, quarter-measures usually described as such might snip away at the outer edges of our gun crime rate, dull some of the sharper edges of the violence, but ultimately would change little because, bluntly, while things like expanded background checks are good things in and of themselves, they do not address the real issue, which is our gun culture, our enthrallment to the fantasy of weaponry.
And what's more, guns are another area where you are always, invariably, inevitably, faced with the same old tired arguments, the same cliches, the same bumper sticker thinking. If you raise the mass murders like Newtown or Aurora or Columbine, they'll in one breath denounce you for "politicizing a tragedy - how daaaare you!" and in the next insist that if there were only more guns around, some brave soul would have taken out the shooter like some combination of John Wayne, Bruce Willis, and Spiderman. No matter how many studies you can cite connecting rates of gun ownership to rates of violent crime, they will scream "Second Amendment," often with an adjective like "sacred." No matter how much historical data or how many legal argument you can present to show that the Second Amendment was about maintaining a militia at a time when no one thought in terms of a standing army, they won't care, they'll just scream "Second Amendment!" even louder. When you cite legal precedent, they'll stop screaming long enough to say "The Supreme Court has spoken so shut up!" When you ask why if that's true they didn't shut up in the face of the previous decades of Supreme Court precedent, they'll just scream "Second Amendment!" again.
I have gone through the arguments, I have made the arguments, I have actually made some arguments at some length. Last January, in the wake of Newtown, I discussed guns, gun violence, gun laws, and so on over a period of eight weeks, including citing some of those studies about guns and crime and discussing how the 2008 Heller decision, the Supreme Court decision that for the first time found an individual right to own guns hidden in the Second Amendment, ignored both precedent and original intent while at the same time not going as far as the gun nuts think it did. I'm not going to go through all that again now. If you want, links to all eight pieces are below.
For the moment, I am just too tired to go through the arguments again, too worn out with anger at the spineless, crawling, not-even-worthy-of-being-called-wimps Democrats in Congress who are so preoccupied with keeping a tight grip on their sinecures that they can't see the blood on their hands.

Love, Light and Happy Returns: Oprah Winfrey and a wedding all in one weekend for Don O'Neill
Don O'Neill, fashion designer to the stars, waited 23 years, and then, in one weekend, a birthday, a wedding and Oprah Winfrey came all at once
You might imagine that the one glorious advantage of a wedding with two grooms is that there would be zero dress stress around the big day. But when one of the grooms is a designer to the stars, atelier anxiety somehow still finds a way of intruding.
Fashion supremo Don O'Neill was in the process of sorting out the last few details of his nuptials to Pascal Guillermie, which take place in Kerry this weekend, when a call came through which stopped him in his tracks. It was from Oprah Winfrey's team. They wanted two of his glittering beaded embroidered tops as options for the cover of Oprah's magazine this coming November, with the shoot due to take place this past Friday, a mere 12 hours before his wedding yesterday.
In the hectic whirlwind of getting ready for the long-awaited trip back to Ireland, and bedding down the final details of the wedding day itself, it was possibly the last thing he needed. But on the other hand: you don't say no to O.
"(The tops) take six weeks to embroider", Don recalls with a sigh. "And they knew they were shooting the cover six months ago: Oprah's schedule is carefully managed." Instantly it was all hands on deck.
"There are people right now working around the clock in our factories to make it happen", he tells me. "Once they are ready they'll go to Hearst Tower (on Central Park West) where they'll use them or not. It feels like it's another wheel on this big machine that's turning but the number of wheels is not set: people are always adding new wheels, new cogs, new gears, whether you like it or not.
"Just leaving New York for a week feels cataclysmic, a really big deal."
You could certainly say that. By midweek there were exhalations in the departures' lounge and a final, liberating set of wheels rising up under the airplane bringing Don and Pascal back to the Kingdom where the designer's home village of Ballyheigue sparkled like Oprah in her Christmas finery. Don tells me that he would have loved to have gotten married in Ballyheigue Church ("Pascal asked 'can't we just rent it? I said: 'that's not how it works'). But a spectacular alternative was planned.
"There is going to a female celebrant who will perform the ceremony, which will be a first for many of the people there. We created the ceremony with her. We will be outdoors, looking out over the castle ruins in Ballyheigue, facing out over the bay. It will be a very spiritual ceremony that focusses on love and responsorial psalms that we wrote. My sister, Deirdre, will sing. Everyone who is there we love with all our hearts. Afterward because there was no venue we're moving to a marquee which will be made of all glass. There will be wooden floors, and fuchsia - all very rustic."
The ceremony is the culmination of a 23-year love story, which began in 1993 when Don was looking after the costumes for a production at the Opera de Lyon, in which Pascal was a dancer. Don remembers his French amour as "just the most charismatic individual I had ever met, with sparkling eyes and an incredible warmth. And the body of a gymnast."
1993 turned out to be a memorable year on other fronts too. Lacroix and Dior both wound up offering the young designer internships during the winter of that year, and in the end he went with Lacroix, whose phantasmagorical designs and spectacular runway shows provided the inspiration necessary for O'Neill to expand his own vision as a designer. For a young man who had trained as a chef and started out making his sister's eighties shoulder pads from foam found in the back of a burnt-out car, it was an extraordinary start in the big leagues of fashion.
Towards the end of the internship O'Neill won a Morrison visa and, acting upon the advice of Christian Lacroix's astrologer, moved to New York, soon to be followed by Pascal. They were tough but heady years. Even though he had letters from Lacroix introducing him to designers including Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan and Oscar de la Renta, Don had a difficult time finding work.
Pascal also struggled to get a Green Card in those years and Don tells me that this, combined with the fact that their relationship had no real legal recognition, played into their decision not to adopt children. "We didn't feel that we would be able to offer a child the security it deserved because we didn't even have that ourselves yet", he recalls.
An interview with Ralph Lauren fell through, while Donna Karan and Bill Blass recoiled at his book of designs which had been 'Lacroixified', which Don once translated for me as "boobs hanging out everywhere!" He sought the advice of another astrologer who advised him that a time of great transition would soon be upon him. He had Pascal put a deposit on an apartment in Park Slope (the swankiest area of Brooklyn) but managed to wiggle out of the contract to buy a house that they were truly in love with. Two weeks later he was offered a job at a brand new label, Theia.
"It's a division of a large Canadian evening wear company and I've been given free rein to create it", Don explains. "But in the last few years that company has fired 15 designers from other divisions; if you're not performing you're out. That's the reality. People make fun of Heidi Klum on Project Runway when she says 'one minute you're in and the next you're out' but the reality is that there is no certainty in the world of fashion. You're always being humbled. When I get a massage they have to use their elbows to get the knots out of my back muscles."
Don would go on to design for a host of stars, including Annette Bening, Khloe Kardashian and Carrie Underwood who wore his dress in front of a few hundred million people at the Grammys. He says most of the stars he deals with are lovely but there have been exceptions.
"Oprah is so down-to-earth but there are other stars who show a lot of ego and get very demanding. I have encountered that as well. There was one person, who I won't name, who I had really admired for years, and I got the opportunity to dress and we went to her TV studios and the audience were there and she was so sweet. Then she came off camera for the fitting and she was not a nice person. She was rude and pushy and we were just an object to getting the dress, it was really discouraging."
Other collaborations have been notably easier: Over time he and Pascal, who founded his own flower design company, Fleur De Pascal, have worked together with Pascal crafting a memorable glass bouquet for Don's epic bridal show a few years ago. "I had to think of a design that would not obscure the dress", Pascal explains.
Over the past few decades they have introduced each other as 'my husband.' "But once he proposed I lost my status as husband and became a mere fiance, but I was very happy anyway and even happier to reclaim my status as husband, thanks, in part, to Ireland which voted yes in May of last year", Pascal tells me.
If 2015 was significant for the couple, so was 2013. Three years ago they went to Miami Beach for their 20th anniversary, but unknown to Pascal, Don had organised a surprise. The designer had arranged for a plane to fly over the beach, trailing a banner asking Pascal to marry him. Don had hired a photographer to capture the special moments, and she had taken up a discreet position nearby. As Pascal dried off after a swim in the sea, Don presented him with a handmade anniversary card and Cartier Trinity ring in white gold, palladium and ceramic.
"I wanted him to read the words, as I had written about how much he means to me, and my emotions got the better of me," he recalled. "I started crying, so Pascal thought there was something badly wrong. Then I told him to look up at the sky as the plane was now behind me, with its beautiful banner announcing, 'Pascal, je t'aime, will you marry me?'" Even the jaded Miami Beach sunbathers erupted into cheers at that.
Pascal also designed the flower arrangements for the wedding, in collaboration with a local florist in Kerry, and tells me that the arrangements are an homage to Don's late mother, Mim, who passed away in 2012. As with Philip Treacy before him, Don's mother was his first and most important muse. She ran the family B&B in Kerry, but in the early 1960s had nannied for the family who owned Colgate in New York, where she acquired a taste for fine clothes, particularly those designed by Ib Jorgenson.
Don came out to his parents when he was 23 but his mother already knew - "as mothers do, they are more intuitive" - and she was always his greatest supporter.
"The hardest part this weekend is not having mom there", Don tells me. "Because, as excited as everyone is, she would have been the most excited of all. And all of the fussing and what she's wearing and what we're wearing; that would have totally been her cup of tea. Pascal thinks that the wedding is a secret but everyone knows about it and she'd have been in the thick of it. I'd rather have mom there and the day be pouring rain than have mom in heaven keeping the clouds away."
In the last few years Don has become close to the Irish author Lorna Byrne, who wrote the book Angels In My Hair. "Lorna came into my life after mom passed away", he recalls. "I did an interview on The John Murray Show. Kathryn Thomas was sitting in for him. We spoke about mom and it was quite emotional. I got a book from Jean Callaghan who represents Lorna. There was a note saying that this might bring me some comfort. I looked at the book and it was about the idea of angels communicating with people and I thought 'hmm . . . I'm not sure about this'. The book got buried on my desk and one day I had nothing planned to read for the subway ride home and there are pictures of mom on my desk and the book somehow resurfaced in front of one of mom's photos.
"I read the book in two or three days and the message of it really resonated with me. I was brought up Catholic and lapsed as most of us do. My relationship with the Church was fractured because of their attitude to me as a gay man. But my dad said you have to get beyond the Church because the Church is just a conduit to God."
Lorna was with Don when he received his honorary doctorate in Cork last year. "When I made my speech after receiving my doctorate I thanked mom and I was an emotional mess", Don explains. "I said I was sure she was standing here beside me. At the end of the evening Lorna came up to me and she said 'your mom was here and she was standing beside you and she had the biggest smile on her face and she was wearing this sort of pinky coral patterned dress.' What Lorna didn't know was that was what we'd buried mom in."
This weekend is a double party for Don because as well as finally becoming a married man he also turns 50 - another big cake was planned for immediately after the wedding. "This has to be the end of midlife crises!" Pascal laughs. "He's been through at least 2,000 so far, so the end is in sight.
"When I hear things on the news where the report says "a 24-year-old man" or a 34-year-old man" I think "that sounds quite old", Don adds. "I somehow don't see myself as a man yet. Somehow in my teenage years my vision of what a man is got distorted. I have a bit of a Peter Pan thing going on. My design assistants are 23 and 24 and I think we're all the same age! And I genuinely don't notice any differences until I happen to mention someone like Tina Turner and they're like "who?" And then it dawns on me that there is an itsy bitsy bit of a difference."
The couple have already had their honeymoon, taking in the "dream trip" to Bora Bora last year. "We did it first because we knew the wedding would be on the expensive side and we'd be flat broke and would have to take time off to go to Europe to do it", Don explains.
"When everyone arrives into the marquee there is an extraordinary ceili band, champion musicians, which will play when people arrive and right through the ceremony. And what nobody knows is that Senator Frances Black is going to sing our first song. She and her husband are coming down with their daughter Aoife. We also have an amazing band and then we have the birthday cake at midnight. I'm sure I won't sleep a wink. We're both so excited for this new chapter in our lives and to have everyone we love around us."

A 4 year old girl from West Yorkshire, recently inspired to become a referee, enjoyed a dream day out as she was given a taste of life in the middle.
Clara Walker declared her intention to become a referee after watching official, Melissa Burgin, in action during Garforth Town's 1-1 draw with Hall Road Rangers. A tweet sent by her father from the fixture, captured the public's imagination and was spotted by The FA.
The FA responded by inviting Clara to lend her hero a helping hand as she took part in an international fixture at St George's Park on Tuesday. The youngster joined Melissa and other officials – including the Premier League's Sian Massey-Ellis – as they prepared for Scotland's U15's fixture against Wales U15's.
Decked out in a full kit and armed with the obligatory whistle, Clara gave the team of officials a pre-match pep talk and then joined as they were put through their paces with a warm-up. She was even given key match day tasks, including checking the nets and testing the kit.
Her father Nathan said: "Black is her favourite colour and when she spotted Melissa in her kit and her similar hair style, at the Garforth Town game, she was fixated and immediately declared she wanted to become a referee. For her to be given the chance to wear the kit, be given a whistle and join Melissa and the other officials on a match day, it was a dream come true. I fear she'll be blowing the whistle and showing me the red card around the house, for a long time to come!"
Joanna Stimpson, The FA's Women's Referee Manager said: "Like many others, we saw the tweet Clara's father posted about his daughter declaring her desire to be a referee. She was inspired by Melissa and it shows the power of a role model, with 1,300 female officials heading out to pitches across the country every weekend, hopefully there are many other girls of all ages who will be inspired to get involved in the sport."

When traveling as the passenger in a car, Pokemon GO players usually aren't able to collect items from PokeStops due to the game's speed limit restrictions. However, Pokemon GO player and Reddit user CatFrogArts has discovered a trick in the game that allows players to bypass its speed limit restrictions.
Basically, players need to open the journal when near a PokeStop and then immediately close it. This will cause the game to load (to tell if the game is loading, look for a white Pokeball spinning at the top of the screen), giving players a short window of opportunity to spin the PokeStop wheel and collect the items.
Apparently, this trick works because players' speed isn't taken into account when the game is loading. Considering this, there are probably other ways to trigger this exploit, but opening and closing the journal seems to be the quickest method. Anyone that wants to use this trick to collect items from PokeStops without having to worry about the speed limit restrictions will want to do so fast, though, because now that it's out in the open, Niantic may take steps to patch it out of the game.
Since Pokemon GO launched last summer, Niantic has consistently supported it with updates and patches, many of which were implemented as a way to make the game safer for players. This speed limit trick could tempt players that are driving their car to try to collect items from PokeStops as well, which could result in a serious accident.
Niantic has struggled with how to handle the dangers of Pokemon GO when it comes to irresponsible drivers. The game warns players not to play Pokemon GO while driving, and restricts elements of gameplay when players reach certain speeds. Even so, that hasn't stopped some people from playing the game while driving, a choice that has proven deadly on more than one occasion.
The safety issues surrounding Pokemon GO are keeping the game from launching in China, which seems like a major missed opportunity for Niantic from a financial standpoint. Perhaps in an effort to make the game safer, Niantic may patch out this speed limit exploit, or it may take more drastic measures, which could include not letting people play the game at all once they hit a certain speed.
Some players may find such a restriction too limiting, especially those that just want to catch some Pokemon while riding in a car as a passenger. It's hard to say if Niantic will go that far when it comes to its Pokemon GO speed limit restrictions, but fans can likely count on the company fixing this newly discovered exploit, at the very least.
Pokemon GO is available now for iOS and Android mobile devices.

Guadeloupe Operator Orders Repeat Austal Ferries
Guadeloupe-based ferry operator L'Express des Iles has selected Austal to design and construct two 154-ft high speed catamaran ferries. The order consists of one vehicle-passenger ferry and one passenger ferry, and is the company's third contract with Austal since 1997.
The vessels are intended to operate from Guadeloupe to the Caribbean islands of Marie Galante, Dominique, Martinique and St Lucia, where they will provide an important inter-island link for tourism and trade. The vehicle ferry will have the capacity for 364 passengers and 10 cars. The passenger ferry will have the capacity for 437 passengers. Both vessels will have a maximum speed of more than 32 knots and are designed to also carry cargo.
L'Express des Iles currently operates Austal-built ferries Gold Express and Silver Express, which were delivered in 2005. Compared to the four-engine arrangements of L'Express des Iles' previous deliveries, the new vessels will each be powered by two MTU 16V4000 M71 diesel engines driving Kamewa 71 SIII waterjets. The new vessels will be built at Austal's Western Australian facility and are scheduled for delivery in mid-2011.

Over 40 winning candidates for the Virginia General Assembly refused campaign contributions from utility monopolies like Dominion Energy.
Unlikely allies have found common ground in reforming Virginia's energy market - meet the Virginia Energy Reform Coalition.
Clean Governance, Clean Energy, Clean Competition. In Virginia, corruption is legal, and it is time for that to end.
Sign up on our mailing list to join our advocacy campaigns. We don't want your money, just your energy.
Champions of clean government and clean energy.
At Clean Virginia, we believe our Commonwealth should be leading the transition to a clean energy future. Unfortunately, legalized corruption is holding us back. For too long, energy monopolies have written their own rules in Richmond, rigging the system against Virginian consumers, small businesses, and communities. Weak campaign finance laws allow our politicians to accept unlimited campaign contributions from the very utilities they have a duty to regulate. This corruption stifles job growth and innovation, leads to high energy bills, and hurts our environment.
But with your help, we are determined to fix this broken system so it works for all Virginians.

Sex And The City creator Candace Bushnell has suggested that Miley Cyrus play the role of a young Carrie Bradshaw in her prequel series.
The author is planning two novels based on the character as a teenager in high school.
Speaking about the prequels this week, Bushnell revealed: "'Carrie in high school did not follow the crowd - she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene."
She commented that Cyrus could be perfect for the Carrie role - played by Sarah Jessica Parker as an older woman in the HBO series and on the big screen.
Cyrus told TV Guide earlier this year: "I'd love to do a younger, cleaner version of Sex And The City."

Skarzynski Black Wins Summary Judgment on Professional Services Exclusion
Skarzynski Black won summary judgment in favor of Scottsdale Indemnity Company. See, Strategic Forecasting, Inc. v. Scottsdale Indem. Co., No. 12CV5389JMAARL, 2015 WL 9694796 (E.D.N.Y. Sept. 30, 2015). Strategic Forecasting involved a data breach class action filed against the Insured ("Stratfor"), an operator of a web-based purveyor of geo-political intelligence content and analysis. SB's client, Scottsdale, issued a D&O Policy to Stratfor. Stratfor sought coverage for the class action; Scottsdale denied coverage arguing that the Scottsdale Policy's broad-form professional services exclusion, which excluded coverage for all claims "arising out of" professional services, precluded coverage for the class action. Scottsdale maintained that the operation of a website was inherently a professional service, and claims arising out of the website's negligent operation were therefore excluded from coverage.
September 30, 2015
Scottsdale and Stratfor cross moved for summary judgment on a number of issues, including the application of the professional services exclusion. The trial court, applying Texas law, ruled in Scottsdale's favor, concluding that "arising out of" exclusions require the insurer merely to demonstrate "but for" causation for the exclusion to apply. Thus, the court concluded, "but for Stratfor providing online analysis and content to its customers, those customers would not have provided Stratfor with their credit card and other personal information and would not have subsequently been injured by the hacking and Stratfor's failure to promptly disclose the hacking."

The top layer of the skin naturally sheds on a regular basis. This ongoing process allows dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface to make way for new skin cells below. Natural regeneration occurs more frequently in young people (every 7 days in children) and begins to slow down as we age. By the time we reach our twenties, this cycle of shedding has slowed to about every 21-28 and will continue to slow as we continue to age.
One way to accelerate the natural process of shedding and regeneration is to regularly and gently exfoliate the skin. Without additional exfoliation, a build-up of the outer layers can become more stubborn particularly in oily, dry, and sun damaged skin. When this happens, pores become clogged and skin appears dull as new healthy cells remain trapped below the surface. In these cases, regular cleansing is no longer enough to remove built-up dead skin cells, and regular exfoliation is necessary to maintain healthy skin.
Exfoliating Sun Damaged Skin
Sun damaged skin appears visibly thickened and rough and skin tone is uneven and dull. The thick appearance of the skin is a result of the skin's effort to protect itself from the sun's harmful rays. While a thickened layer may provide a little natural protection from the sun, it creates more problems than advantages. That's because thick skin inhibits the absorption of beneficial skincare products to penetrate and nourish the skin.
Regular exfoliation of the top layer of sun damaged skin will:
- Remove the thickened skin, revealing younger, healthier, less wrinkled looking skin.
- Reduce the chance of clogged pores and allow nourishing products to penetrate below the surface.
- Even out skin tone and fade brown spots revealing a brighter skin tone.
Once sun damaged skin has been exfoliated and restored to a more healthy condition, it will be sensitive to ultraviolet rays and will become damaged again unless it is protected with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. While sunscreen is always recommended for all skin types, it is particularly important to someone who has newly exfoliated skin.
Exfoliating Oily Skin
All skin types benefit from regular exfoliation, but those with oily skin who tend to be acne and blemish-prone, benefit significantly. That's because sebum (oil) works as an adhesive, preventing the natural shedding of skin cells. When this natural cycle of shedding is interrupted, dead skin cell build up, pores become clogged, oil gets trapped and the acne cycle begins.
Another problem for people with oily skin and clogged pores is that the oil gland itself has a lining. This lining can become thickened or misshapen inside the pore and block the normal flow of oil from the pore. Exfoliants (especially those designed to dissolve oils) can exfoliate the lining of the pore, clearing it out, encouraging normal function.
Exfoliating Dry Skin
The reasons for exfoliating dry skin are different from those for treating oily skin – but the objective is the same: removing dead skin cells and restoring the skin to a healthy condition. There are a number of reasons for dry skin:
Winter weather. The cold, dry air of winter and the dry heat indoors can dry the skin and lead to a buildup of dead skin.
Hot water. Long, hot showers and baths may be relaxing, but they can wash precious oils from your skin, making it more prone to dryness.
Harsh soap. Heavy-duty cleansers can strip away skin's natural oils and irritate the skin, making it dry, cracked, and prone to rashes.
Health conditions. Common skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis can lead to dry, scaly skin. In these cases though, exfoliation of the surface skin must be approached carefully and under the direction of a medical doctor.
Dry skin and accumulation of dead skin cells creates a barrier that blocks moisturizers and nourishing products from penetrating the skin and reaching healthy skin cells. When this happens, moisturizers sit on the surface and appear or feel 'greasy'.
Exfoliating dry, dead skin cells and revealing new plump skin cells promotes healthy skin and leaves the skin looking younger and fresher.
Exfoliation Techniques
The job of an exfoliant is to remove rough, dead skin, leaving behind a smoother, healthier layer of skin. Here are several tools and techniques that can help to slough off dead skin and get to the healthy skin below.
- Exfoliating tools. Natural sponges, loofahs, and pumice stones are often used to remove dry, dead skin cells from feet, knees, elbows, and other tough areas of the body, while terry washcloths and soft scrubbing gloves can be used to clear away the dry skin from the face and more sensitive spots.
- Scrubs. There are dozens of grainy exfoliating scrubs of every kind on the market . You can even make your own with a little sugar and some olive oil or a favorite essential oil and some sea salt. Dermatologists recommend using ones that contain sugar or artificial grains to exfoliate your skin. Scrubs that contain fruit or nut particles may be too harsh for the face since they can actually scratch the skin.
- Acids. Cleansers and lotions that contain ingredients like lactic acid, salicylic acid, and alpha hydroxy acid can serve as daily exfoliants, removing dead skin and bringing the fresher skin to the surface.
Is it Possible to Exfoliate Too Often?
Clearly exfoliating your skin has its benefits. But how often should you exfoliate? It is possible to overdo it – causing temporary redness or irritation – but good exfoliation is not a painful or harmful experience.
For some people gentle exfoliation once a day works best, for others every other day, or once a week. That being said, here are some general tips about exfoliating the skin:
- Body or foot scrubs should never be used on the face. The dermis on the face is much more sensitive than that on the body so body scrubs are far too harsh and can damage skin on the face.
- Masks and peels work better AFTER the skin has been exfoliated. Removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin first allows the mask to reach into the pores and do its job.
- Overuse of the product can lead to over-dryness and irritation, exposing the newly developed cells prematurely. Always follow the product's instructions and discuss concerns with a skin care professional when in doubt.

text: Very nice, I myself have never aspired to be a writer. Hated it in school and didn't care for it during my time in the Marine Corps. However at times it was a necessity and I forced myself to learn some of the basics. Grammar and punctuation being my weak point, I would run the words I had written through a grammar checker and polished the rough edges. My 5th grade teacher Mr. Beard compelled me to learn spelling by keeping those with two demerits inside writing spelling words during recess. I am now a pretty good speller, for being a demerit catching fool. with that said, I enjoyed your post and envy those who take up the pen or word processor to write the books I so enjoy reading, also those who write interesting posts in the number of blogs that I find myself reading. I enjoyed your words very much and thank you for taking the time to write them. Good luck to you in all your endeavors.
