How to make the most of your first year at Cambridge
So, you're heading to Cambridge this year?
First of all, congratulations are in order! You're going to the second best (GDBO) university in the world! That in itself is an incredible achievement, but you're probably thinking about how to get your time's worth out of university.
You may have just received your jam-packed timetable for Michaelmas term, and you might be wondering how you will possibly have time to do anything other than work. We can't deny it: Cambridge life is seriously busy. With so much going on, it's hard to know what to prioritise. That's why we at CAMSoc, with a little help from our friends, have put our heads together to create this guide on how to smash your first year. Enjoy!
"Challenge yourself. One of the best decisions I made was to take on a leadership role within a student society."
– Amber (Law, 2nd year)
This is a big one from CAMSoc Co-President, Amber. If there's any time to be ambitious, it's during your university years. If you've ever wanted to learn something, be it a language, a sport, or any other skill, there is someone here at Cambridge who can help you with that.
Make your challenge valuable to you, and whatever you do, don't compare your challenge to everyone else's. Everywhere you go, there will be high fliers who seem incredibly successful. You have to define success on your own terms, or you'll drive yourself crazy. This is especially true in a place like Cambridge.
Don't fall into the trap of thinking that your challenge has to be academic, either. Remember, one line of your CV says you got a first. What do the other 30 say? If you want to get involved with something – do it. What do you have to lose?
"Sleep > work"
– Ollie (Engineering, 2nd year)
"Control your work, don't let it control you"
– Matthew (Classics, 2nd year)
These quotes are as simple as they sound, and they ring true throughout the whole year. If you find yourself staying up frantically trying to get an examples paper or an essay done, don't kid yourself into thinking that this is the harsh reality of a Cambridge education.
As much as everyone says otherwise, it really is possible to work, have a social life, and keep healthy, but only if you make good use of your time. Do make use of calendar apps and reminders, and- most importantly ⎼ plan your day in advance. A simple but effective way to structure your day is to set out to achieve one big thing, three medium-sized things, and five small things. Write your plan and stick to it (but make sure you allow time for socialising and the odd trip to Sunday Life).
"Focus on how you work, how you study and how you perform best"
– Daniil (Engineering, 2nd year)
Before coming to Cambridge, you might not have thought much about how you work, and everything probably came quite easily. You probably understood concepts pretty quickly, regardless of the method you used to learn. Cambridge is different. The things you learn here are hard to understand, and there are a lot of things to understand. When you're faced with this dilemma (and you inevitably will be, unless you're some kind of super-genius), you need to know how to deal with it.
Writing simple notes and doing past papers got me through A-Levels. I will now swallow my pride and admit that flashcards are useful. But the thing is, it couldn't matter less how you revise, as long as it works for you. What I'm really saying is this: don't be surprised if you go into a friend's room during exam term to find all four walls, and maybe even the ceiling (trust me, I've seen this), covered in sticky notes. Experiment to find out what works for you, and embrace it!
"Whilst you may not be aware of it, you have a personal brand – a way that you appear to the rest of the world as a result of the digital footprint you've created over the years (note to self: edit Facebook privacy settings)"
– Mila (PBS, 3rd year)
This quote is actually from one of our previous blog posts. You can read it here.
You've probably noticed that all of your friends have been updating their profile pictures before they head off to uni. I can admit to this, and there's no shame in trying to make a good impression. Have you ever scrolled back to your 2011 Facebook statuses, cringed, but strangely felt some kind of sentimental attachment to them, so changed the settings so they're only visible to you? Nope, me neither. If you have done this, then you've already made an effort to shape your personal brand.
What impression does your social media give off? What do others think you'll be like before they meet you? These things matter – and not just during freshers week, but when you start searching for jobs, summer internships, or even roles in student societies. Expect everyone to check your social media. Think of all of those people you've seen in freshers groups. For anyone of note, you've already developed an image of them in your head, which is based entirely on their 'personal brand'.
LinkedIn is a great tool to develop your personal brand. Don't worry if you don't have a LinkedIn profile, or if you haven't even heard of it… you definitely will soon. If there's one thing you need to bear in mind when creating your Linkedin profile, it's this: your online presence can be beautifully polished, but you must to be able to back that up in person. You can't afford to lie or exaggerate online. And if you do lie on LinkedIn, you will almost certainly be caught out at interview- or even before.
With all of this pressure to create and refine your personal brand, it's incredibly important to be true to yourself. Building a personal brand is all about recognising and highlighting your unique strengths.
"The more socials you go to, the more people remember you and recognise you around, and suddenly Cambridge isn't so lonely!"
– Rohan (MML, 2nd year)
As well as getting to know people in your college, it's a good idea to branch out and get to know people from other colleges too. You might get to know people through societies, sports, or even just by chatting to them in lectures.
But careful: explore your options, but don't dabble in too many sports or societies, or you'll soon find yourself struggling to balance extracurriculars with your studies. If you want to get involved in student-led group projects, get involved with one! We're running our own this year, CAMBrand. Participating in CAMBrand will give you the chance to work for some of the UK's hottest startups, and you'll gain some major CV points while you're at it. If that's not your kind of thing, there is always plenty of support and funding available for other projects, and you could even start an initiative of your own.
Networking events at university are an incredible way to gain contacts in industries you're interested in, and you might even land a job or internship while you're at it. Showing your face at networking events is also a great way to improve your communication and interpersonal skills in general.
As a final word on this subject, absolutely do not limit yourself to networking events and career-oriented socials. Go on swaps with your mates to Sesame (or even Curry King if you're feeling adventurous), and go to Cindies on a Wednesday night- even if you have a busy Thursday. Some of my best friends are people I never would have known if I'd stayed in all the time. You never know who you could meet: your best friend, your future business partner, or maybe even your soul-mate, if you believe in that kind of thing. (Surprisingly going out and meeting people is a much more 'effective' than Tinder. Who would have thought?)
"Not that keen on the people you live with? Don't worry – there are plenty of other people to get to know."
– Me! (Engineering, 2nd year)
You have at least three years here! Don't assume you have to be best friends with the people you're living with in first year. Take your time! Now, I'm not discouraging you from being friends with people on your staircase – they're probably lovely, but don't feel obliged to hang around with them all of the time. After all, it's your decision who your friends are. You'll have until the end of Lent term (give or take a few weeks depending on your college), to decide who you want to live with in second year, so don't sweat!
All that's left to be said from myself and the rest of CAMSoc is once again, congratulations on getting into Cambridge, and a huge good luck from all of us!
Look out for our stall at the Freshers' Fair, and explore the rest of our website to see what's on offer this Michaelmas.

Per my action item, I present a test tool at http://soapclient.com/xkmstest.html This is an on-line test tool that sends XKMS 2.0 requests to an arbitrary XKMS service provider. The results are then validated using XPath expressions and through an XML schema validator. Both request messages and responses messages are captured for review and examination. The tool can be used by implementers to test their XKMS services using the standard test cases defined by the work group. It can also be used by anyone who wishes to test and verify a server implementation without single line of coding. There are three groups of tests on the page. The first group covers all standard XKISS tests (T1 to T11, don't know how to do T12 yet.). The tests can be exercised either individually or as a whole in sequential order. The results are displayed on the next page. The second group covers the newly proposed XKRSS test cases. As the test cases are not finalized yet, This portion may be changed sometime soon. The last group has a set of test cases we have been using to verify our build, and it proves to be very useful. It is more flexible and covers some situations that are not defined in the standard tests, such as state change verification, as Stephen suggested, and DSA key registrations. As always, your comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Regards, YunhaoReceived on Saturday, 16 October 2004 18:30:44 UTC

Coffee table now uniquely and creatively designed with multi-function feature to save space. The point is uniqueness and the natural material rather than the modern fabricated material, that's who people wanted. Just like post here, we gather several coffee table in square shape customarily placed in house. The long lasting power of solid wood overly dazzling and in fits any space theme, even in ultra modern theme room.
The additional of natural stone as table top with the combination of some steel material offers the complexity of room theme. For purity sense of nature surely you would select solid wood square table or with rattan material as pull out storage feature. One square table creatively formed to store four ottoman, this is what I mean saving space feature. For decor, reclaimed wood artistically give work of art form and some rattan storage for atop table or fruits storage. On the well-known site like houzz this shape coffee table offered at a price range between $300 till above $1,750.

Human Wrongs Watch
Now, globally averaged concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has surged again to new records in 2016… and will not dip below pre-2015 levels for many generations.
The warning comes from the United Nations weather agency–the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and further confirms the alarm of climate experts and world specialised organisations.
On the one hand, the WMO secretary-general, Petteri Taalas said that 2015 ushered in a new era of optimism and climate action with the Paris climate change agreement. "But it will also make history as marking a new era of climate change reality with record high greenhouse gas concentrations."
"Without tackling carbon dioxide emissions, we cannot tackle climate change and keep temperature increases to below 2 degrees Celcius above the pre-industrial era… It is therefore of the utmost importance that the Paris Agreement does indeed enter into force well ahead of schedule on 4 November and that we fast-track its implementation," Taalas on 24 October 2016 stressed.
The weather agency had warned earlier this year that the Earth is already one degree Celsius hotter than at the start of the 20th century, halfway to the critical two-degree threshold, and that national climate change plans adopted so far may not be enough to avoid a three-degree temperature rise.
CO2 levels had previously reached the 400 parts per million barrier for certain months of the year and in certain locations "but never before on a global average basis for the entire year." According to WMO, the growth spurt in carbon dioxide was fuelled by the El Niño event, which started in 2015 and had a strong impact well into 2016.
"The 400 parts per million threshold is of great symbolic importance," said the previous WMO secretary-general Michel Jarraud in 2014. "It should serve as yet another wakeup call about the constantly rising levels of greenhouse gases which are driving climate change and acidifying our oceans."
This triggered droughts in tropical regions and reduced the capacity of "sinks" like forests, vegetation and the oceans to absorb CO2.
These sinks currently absorb about half of CO2 emissions but there is a risk that they may become saturated, which would increase the fraction of emitted carbon dioxide which stays in the atmosphere, according to the Greenhouse Gas Bulletin.
Carbon Dioxide Remains For Thousands of Years
The danger is clear: for thousands of year's carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing the earth to warm further. The lifespan of carbon dioxide in the oceans is even longer. It is also the single most important greenhouse gas emitted by human activities.
"For thousands of year's carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing the earth to warm further. The lifespan of carbon dioxide in the oceans is even longer. It is also the single most important greenhouse gas emitted by human activities." – WMO
According to the WMO it is responsible for 85 per cent of the warming effect on our climate over the past decade.
On the other hand, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) says that the droughts and floods beating down on communities in many parts of the world are linked to the current El Niño, which was expected to affect up 60 million people already by last July.
"In some areas, including in North Eastern Brazil, Somali, Ethiopia, Kenya and Namibia, the El Niño effects are coming on the back of years of severe and recurrent droughts. It is impossible for households that rely on the land for food and farm labour to recover, especially when the land is degraded," says in this regards the UNCCD executive secretary, Monique Barbut.
What's more, Barbut adds, these conditions do not just devastate families and destabilise communities. When they are not attended to urgently, they can become a push factor for migration, and end with gross human rights abuses and long-term security threats.
"We have seen this before – in Darfur following four decades of droughts and desertification and, more recently, in Syria, following the long drought of 2007-2010."
It is "tragic to see a society breaking down when we can reduce the vulnerability of communities through simple and affordable acts such as restoring the degraded lands they live on, and helping countries to set up better systems for drought early warning and to prepare for and manage drought and floods," according to Barbut.
Agriculture Accounts for One-Fifth of Total Emissions
For its part, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) alerted that the rapid change in the world's climate is translating into more extreme and frequent weather events, heat waves, droughts and sea-level rise.
The impacts of climate change on agriculture and the implications for food security are already alarming – they are the subjects of this report, according to FAO director general José Graziano da Silva.
A major finding is that there is an urgent need to support smallholders in adapting to climate change. Farmers, pastoralists, fisher-folk and community foresters depend on activities that are intimately and inextricably linked to climate – and these groups are also the most vulnerable to climate change.
"They will require far greater access to technologies, markets, information and credit for investment to adjust their production systems and practices to climate change."
Unless action is taken now to make agriculture more sustainable, productive and resilient, climate change impacts will seriously compromise food production in countries and regions that are already highly food-insecure, Graziano da Silva alerts.
"Through its impacts on agriculture, livelihoods and infrastructure, climate change threatens all dimensions of food security. It will expose both urban and rural poor to higher and more volatile food prices."
According to FAO's director general, it will also affect food availability by reducing the productivity of crops, livestock and fisheries, and hinder access to food by disrupting the livelihoods of millions of rural people who depend on agriculture for their incomes.
The FAO report–The State of Food and Agriculture 2016, describes ways of adapting smallholder production to climate change and making the livelihoods of rural populations more resilient.
"Diversify or Die"?
Diversification and better integration of food production systems into complex ecological processes create synergies with the natural habitat instead of depleting natural resources, says the report.
Agro-ecology and sustainable intensification are examples of approaches that improve yields and build resilience through practices such as green manuring, nitrogen-fixing cover crops and sustainable soil management, and integration with agro-forestry and animal production.
"In order to keep the increase in global temperature below the crucial ceiling of 2 °C, emissions will have to be reduced by as much as 70 per cent by 2050.
"Keeping climate change within manageable levels can only be achieved with the contribution of the agriculture sectors," which account for at least one-fifth of total emissions, mainly from the conversion of forests to farmland as well as from livestock and crop production.

Al Gore has returned from the seclusion of his palatial estate, where he had been secretly hiding away from the fallout of the Hadley CRU document dump. His ALness re-entered society by submitting an editorial piece, dutifully presented by the New York Times. In it he made a series of inane comments on the state of affairs in the Global Warming Hysteria hoax business, summing up that he is ready to go back to business as usual, scaring the crap out of school children and shaking down the rest of us over an unproven theory that has no grounding in empirical evidence.
"But unfortunately, the reality of the danger we are courting has not been changed by the discovery of at least two mistakes in the thousands of pages of careful scientific work over the last 22 years by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change."
I suppose that is true as far as it goes. The reality of the danger has not changed - it is still as negligible as it ever was. Furthermore, the science the alarmists have been pushing has not changed either. They continue to ramble on endlessly about the physics of long wave radiation absorption of CO2 and the cataclysmic consequences of the minuscule rise in this 'trace gas'. What has changed, AL, is our perception of the validity and integrity of the rather small scientific community that has been pushing this nonsense upon us. This has been changed dramatically, and we have not lost our place with the passage of a few months time.
Wesley Smith has a great break down of AL Gores entire piece here at his blog Second Hand Smoke.
More AL:
"In fact, the crisis is still growing because we are continuing to dump 90 million tons of global-warming pollution every 24 hours into the atmosphere — as if it were an open sewer."
Very true. 1995 CO2 levels stood at 359.7 ppm, and the 2010 level has exceeded 388 ppm. That is an 8 percent increase in the earths CO2 blanket. Fortunately for us, and rather unfortunately for you and your argument, the earth has not warmed during this same period of time. It hasn't warmed up at all.
If CO2 was the dominant force agent you have presented it to be, you would think there would be some increase in the global climate with an 8% increase, but no. Even one of the Hadley CRU scientists, Dr. Kevin Trenberth, famously complained in the document dump e-mails:
"The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't."
There are clearly many factors that influence the global climate. What is increasingly well defined is that whatever effect CO2 may have, it is remarkably weak.
"But the scientific enterprise will never be completely free of mistakes. What is important is that the overwhelming consensus on global warming remains unchanged."
It may be important for you personally AL, but it is not important for everyone else. What is important for us is to understand our world better to allow us to make informed choices.
Speaking of mistakes, now that you are writing in the New York Times, I would think this would be a perfect opportunity to clear the air if you will, about another of the many mistakes in the farcically titled An Inconvenient Truth. Remember that tear jerking scene bemoaning the shrinking ice caps of Mt. Kilimanjaro, melting away because of the long ranging effects of Northern Hemisphere factories and automobiles? Oops. Scientists from the Netherlands recently concluded a study of the snow cap in question, and concluded the changes were a part of the natural cyclical events related to the Indian Ocean monsoons, and had nothing to do with CO2 levels, man made or otherwise. (For you more dedicated readers, you will recall what fun we had with the previous posting on this topic here).
The Hadley CRU document dump and subsequent revelations of the undermining of the peer review process and the political intrusion into the 'science' utterly undermined the entire enterprise of global warming alarmism. Go away with your tiresome fear mongering AL, and keep away from our kids. Its over, and we've all already gotten off the train.
As to the winner of the best title to an AL Gore piece, the prize has got to go to Pundit and Pundette, whose gut busting Gore goes Full-Bore easily takes away the prize. Yikes! A Full-Bore AL Gore - how much Bore can we take?
Couple of shysters.
AL Gore stands alongside discredited IPCC Chairman Rajendra Pachauri as they accept their Nobel Prize.

Teaching Your Dog To 'Sit'
This week Rosemary and her beautiful assistant Leila will be teaching you one of the best basic commands to teach your pooch, the command to sit.
First of all, a sit is good basic canine manners. If you meet someone you want to talk to, if your dog will sit that means he isn't jumping up at them. This is really important for people who may be frightened of dogs, children, elderly people — or just when your dog has muddy paws.
- A sit at the side of the road can keep your dog safe. If you ever have to cross roads that are busy and maybe don't have great pavements, having a dog who won't bounce around on the end of a lead can be a lifesaver.
- Having a dog who will sit before bounding out of the car on walks or at exciting places is also good manners, saves you having to rugby tackle him, and means you can keep him safe from just bounding out on to the road.
- Having a dog who will sit when you want to put his lead on makes things far easier for you — and saves sprained wrists and broken fingers when trying to hold a collar and a lead and attach the two together.
- Sitting while dinner is being put down is also good manners, saves food and bowl flying everywhere, and also teaches your dog some frustration control — which will be really useful later in your training.
- Most importantly however, a good sit is a simple exercise you can teach your dog, which you can then reward him for. This makes him feel better about you, you feel better about him, and he feels able to positively influence his environment. It will also build the basis for future training.
Step 1 – Pick a high value food reward for your dog
To start off you'll need to use a food lure as a reward to get your pooch to sit, gradually you'll be building it up so that your dog is able to sit on command without needing to see a treat at all, but this is stage one.
Rosemary is able to just use normal dry dog kibble as Leila loves it but you may need to use a higher value treat as a reward for your dog. Basically use whatever gets your dog excited, something they'd be willing to (eventually) jump through hoops for!
Step 2 – Lure
Now that you've selected a treat that they'll freak out for, hold it in your hand and show them you have something tasty to offer. Let them have a sniff and then slowly raise your hand over and behind their head and automatically their bum should go down on the ground.
Give them reward when their bottom goes on to the ground.
Now Leila was an extremely well behaved model and you may find that your dog jumps, snips, spins around and gets over excited and wont nail it that quickly. Just be patient, stay calm and preserver with the steps, they'll get it eventually.
Step 3 – Add a hand cue
One you've mastered step 2 you can add a hand queue so that the dog associates the hand gesture with the action of sitting.
Step 4 – Add a vocal cue
When you've become comfortable with including the hand cue you can begin to add the vocal cue so that you dog associated the action with the word 'sit'.
When the dog loses interest don't push them, just practice for a few minutes at a time so that they stay interested and excited about the activity.

2005 Ch. Larcis Ducasse, St Emilion
Red | Ready, but will improve | Chateau Larcis Ducasse | Code: 9 | 2005 | France > Bordeaux > St-Emilion | Merlot | Medium-Full Bodied, Dry | 14.5 % alcohol
The Wine Advocate - With an unbelievable nose of licorice, tapenade, black cherry and blackcurrant liqueur, as well as full body, super-sweet tannin, and astonishing richness and length, this prodigious effort in 2005 announced the resurrection of this great terroir on the slopes near Chteau Pavie. Dark garnet/plum/purple, this is compelling stuff and drinkable already, but capable of lasting another 25-30 years. This beauty is not to be missed!

The Producer
Traditionally Ch. Larcis Ducasse, a St Emilion Grand Cru Classé, was regarded as a property with exceptional terrior but a constant underperformer. This has changed, mainly thanks to the talents of a new winemaking team headed up by Nicolas Thienpont (of Ch. Pavie Macquin repute) and Stephane Derenoncourt (the mercurial 'flying wine consultant') who have managed to unlock the potential of this sleeping giant.
The estate is located on one of Bordeaux's finest strips of terroir - the Cote Pavie in St Emilion. Here, this 25-acre property abuts the 1er Grand Cru Classé Ch. Pavie estate. The vines are planted on an eclectic range of soils - alluvial sand deposits, clay, chalk and limestone. The vines, as one would expect for that part of the world, are predominately Merlot (some 75%) Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The new winemaking team arrived in 2002 and since then, the wines have gone from strength to strength. Look out especially for the 2005 Ch. Larcis Ducasse (98/100 Parker), 2006 Ch. Larcis Ducasse (91-94 Parker) and 2007 Ch. Larcis Ducasse (92-94 Parker), as these are the manifestation of all the hard work undertaken at the château over recent years.
Other wines by this producer:
The Grape
The most widely planted grape in Bordeaux and a grape that has been on a relentless expansion drive throughout the world in the last decade. Merlot is adaptable to most soils and is relatively simple to cultivate. It is a vigorous naturally high yielding grape that requires savage pruning - over-cropped Merlot-based wines are dilute and bland. It is also vital to pick at optimum ripeness as Merlot can quickly lose its varietal characteristics if harvested overripe.
In St.Emilion and Pomerol it withstands the moist clay rich soils far better than Cabernet grapes, and at it best produces opulently rich, plummy clarets with succulent fruitcake-like nuances. Le Pin, Pétrus and Clinet are examples of hedonistically rich Merlot wines at their very best. It also plays a key supporting role in filling out the middle palate of the Cabernet-dominated wines of the Médoc and Graves.
Merlot is now grown in virtually all wine growing countries and is particularly successful in California, Chile and Northern Italy.
The Region
St Emilion is one of Bordeaux's largest producing appellations, producing more wine than Listrac, Moulis, St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux put together. St Emilion has been producing wine for longer than the Médoc but its lack of accessibility to Bordeaux's port and market-restricted exports to mainland Europe meant the region initially did not enjoy the commercial success that funded the great châteaux of the Left Bank.
St Emilion itself is the prettiest of Bordeaux's wine towns, perched on top of the steep limestone slopes upon which many of the region's finest vineyards are situated. However, more than half of the appellation's vineyards lie on the plain between the town and the Dordogne River on sandy, alluvial soils with a sprinkling of gravel.
Further diversity is added by a small, complex gravel bed to the north-east of the region on the border with Pomerol. Atypically for St Emilion, this allows Cabernet Franc and, to a lesser extent, Cabernet Sauvignon to prosper and defines the personality of the great wines such as Ch. Cheval Blanc.
In the early 1990s there was an explosion of experimentation and evolution, leading to the rise of the garagistes, producers of deeply-concentrated wines made in very small quantities and offered at high prices. The appellation is also surrounded by four satellite appellations, Montagne, Lussac, Puisseguin and St. Georges, which enjoy a family similarity but not the complexity of the best wines.
St Emilion was first officially classified in 1954, and is the most meritocratic classification system in Bordeaux, as it is regularly amended. The most recent revision of the classification was in 2012

Well, as of today I've changed my mind.
I've decided that in my next life I'd like to come back as a sloth.
|Look at this adorable face?
What comes to mind when you think of a sloth? Lazy, right? Well, I've been reading up on them, and I wouldn't call them lazy. They just know the importance of rest! For those of you like me who have forgotten what it means to rest, here's the definition:
1 : to get rest by lying down; especially : sleep
Sounds good to me.
So what made me come to the conclusion that it's a sloth's life? It's because today I was pretty much "sloth-like" all day long. Or I was trying to be. There was the constant interruption of these 'lil dudes wanting to play with me. It all stems from Little K's preschool had their monthly general meeting last night. It's a parent-participation preschool so this is something we have to do. And I don't mind at all...I love being involved in the boys' schools.
After the meeting, myself and a couple of other moms who don't get out much
Of course once home I couldn't just hop into bed. I needed to wind down with a 'lil social media, a 'lil Pinterest, so I probably got to bed around 1am. As per usual I was awakened by a boy calling my name. I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at the clock and read 2am!! Shortly after Big T waking up, as luck would have it, Little K was up and they were pretty much wide awake! In my sleepy stupor, I started to wonder if those couple glasses of wine that tasted soooo good just a couple hours earlier were worth it? (They were!) I started to panic and am hoping now that I didn't offer some major bribes in order to get them to sleep. When they finally went down again it was 3:40am! Luckily for me, Big T slept in a bit...I think he slept 'til 6:30!! And yes, I'm being sarcastic! That 'lil man rarely sleeps past 6!
So back to my longing to be a sloth. I guess when you're sleep deprived, even if it's of your own doing, the life of an animal who sleeps 20 hours a day on average is pretty appealing. Sloths are relaaaaxed, man! And they're not stupid. I guess people think they're deaf. They aren't. They're just not really interested in sound. I want to be like that. Then that 'lil whiny Caillou would never get on my nerves again.
Sloths are vegetarian (like me) and live a very peaceful life (unlike me). They are in harmony with the environment and forever have a smile on their lips. They are so chill and seemingly worry free. They only poop once a week. Only dealing with poop once a week?? Wow! Just.Wow! And think of all the money I'd save on toilet paper!
Oh, yeah, the life of a sloth. I'm digging it.

Cara Putnam's Trial by Fire ~ Reviewed
Trial by Fire
By Cara Putman
Published by: Steeple Hill
221 Pages
Back Cover: Her mother's house was first, then her brother's. County prosecutor, Tricia Jamison, is sure she's next on the arsonist's list. But who is after her family? And why does every fire throw her in Noah Burst's path?
Noah can't forgive Tricia. Her failure to protect him on the stand the previous year meant his father's reputation was ruined. Yet every time the firefighter is near her, he's drawn to her again. The vulnerability she hides under her confident veneer surprises and moves him.
REVIEW: Tricia Jamison has a tough job and has seen things the average person won't see in their lifetime. Tricia says this about her job, "Somehow she had to take joy in the small victories rather than focusing on the fact that domestic violence hadn't ended and likely never would. She could help victims—one at a time—reclaim control of their lives."
If only she could have that happen in her personal life. Tricia had done a great job at keeping people and her emotions under control--by shutting down relationships in her life. Stuffing her emotions down deep so that they didn't affect her, how long could she do this? Who was she kidding? This latest case has her confronting her past - up-close and personal. She had a choice...she could let anger and bitterness run her life and isolate her, or she could reveal the secrets of her past and deal with the outcome. How was she going to push through? She couldn't do it without God's help.
Tricia realized for the first time that "Maybe she'd never understand why God had allowed the horrors happen to her, but she could choose to accept His love and commit to moving forward to the future."
Things get crazy when her mother's and brother's houses burn. What's going on? Who is doing this? One firefighter, Noah, wants to help her discover who is starting these fires. Tricia will have to trust Noah and deal with her feelings toward him. Again she'd have to lean on God to see her through.
Cara weaves a very interesting web of mystery as fires are breaking out all around the characters. I learned a lot about how firefighters go about investigating a fire to find out how it started. It was fascinating.
I received a review copy of this book and I'm glad I did. I like how the author has the characters deal with the hurts in their life in a very real way. They struggle to let God heal their hurts and trust Him to complete the work He's started.

Venus Williams at Vanity Fair Party
Rosario vs. Venus: Who Wins This Colorblock Match?
With colorblocking being such a huge trend for Spring, we were thrilled to see two lovely ladies sporting it at the Vanity Fair Oscar party last night in Hollywood. Rosario went for a tropical mix of turquoise, orange, and magenta in her Salvatore Ferragamo gown, while Venus opted for pink and purple Christiane King. Both showed lots of leg. Rosario, however, kept jewelry to a minimum and accessorized with black peep-toe heels, while Venus chose statement earrings and sparkly heels. Who wins this match?

Taste of Thai has two locations and after eating at the Del Mar address, I can say that there should be many more branches of this restaurant. It was of course, a local who introduced me to this place because locals come here regularly, but if you are visiting, you would not necessarily try this place, tucked next to a shopping center close to the freeway.
As in most Thai restaurants, the service is impeccably polite and efficient, and the decor ornate. The thing that counts the most is the food, and it is food excellent. You may adjust the spiciness on a scale from 1 to 10 so depending on your preference (and your dining companions) you can burn your taste buds or soothe them. I chose a level 7 for my spicy noodles with duck ($11.95) and it was just the right amount of heat to awaken my mouth without setting it on fire.
My companion chose the red curry made with coconut milk, bamboo shoots, green pepper, onion, peas & carrot at a level 3 with chicken ($10.95). I tasted this rich dish and loved it even though I would have liked it hotter, the flavors were complex and complimented the vegetables well.
Since no one has the same taste, it is nice that a restaurant will adjust spiciness and ingredients to your preferences; most items allow you to choose whether you want shrimp, squid, fish, beef, duck, chicken, scallops, or a mixture in your dish. They even have a nice wine selection by the glass or bottle, so you can cool your dishes with some liquid refreshment.
Taste of Thai is as its' name implies, a Thai restaurant which emphasizes taste and caters to yours, no matter what that is, for that reason alone, it is worth a trip.

Worried About Passing Down Your Crooked Teeth? 3 Signs That Your Child Needs To See An Orthodontist
Posted on: 13 January 2017
You know the pain of having misaligned teeth or an incorrect bite all too well, and its natural to hope that a crooked smile might have skipped a generation. Now that your child's adult teeth are growing in, you can't help but wonder if they will grow up to need braces. While it's not always possible to tell at first glance if there's a problem or not, noticing these three things are sure signs that it is time to see an orthodontist to get a professional opinion.
Rapid or Delayed Loss of Baby Teeth
Those cute little baby teeth are placeholders for adult teeth. However, losing too many at once may cause the other teeth to shift out of place until the adult teeth come in. When baby teeth take too long to fall out, this can also cause crowding issues. Sometimes, an adult tooth may even grow in behind or beside a baby tooth that lingers in the mouth too long.
Difficulty Speaking and Chewing
A severely misaligned bite can generate discomfort for children as they try to speak or chew. You may notice that your child speaks with a lisp or requests for their food to be cut up smaller. Sometimes, a misaligned bite can lead to chipped or cracked teeth due to how force is applied as your child eats. Failed fillings are sometimes seen in these teeth because they cannot withstand the pressure of having the top and bottom teeth hitting against each other.
Lack of Self-Confidence
As your child matures, they become more concerned about their physical appearance. Children with crooked and crowded teeth may suddenly become self-conscious about how they appear to their friends. You may notice that they suddenly start smiling with their mouth closed for photographs, or they may refuse to give an oral presentation in class. If your child's teeth are creating a problem with their self-esteem, it is important to explore the potential that orthodontics has for improving their smile and comfort.
The realization that your child needs orthodontic treatment is disconcerting. However, the field of orthodontics has changed significantly since you were a kid. Today, early treatment can give a better prognosis, and new technologies such as clear aligners have made getting straighter teeth more comfortable and convenient than ever before. By having your child's teeth and bite checked at the earliest signs of a problem, you give them the best chances for enjoying many opportunities down the road to flash that beautiful smile.Share

Governments of Canada and Ontario Celebrate New Affordable Housing in Guelph
Guelph, Ontario - Ground was broken today for 80 new affordable housing rental units for seniors living on low income in Guelph. The project received $9.6 million in funding from the federal and provincial governments.
The Honourable Michael Chong, Member of Parliament for Wellington-Halton Hills on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and Minister Responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Liz Sandals, Member of Provincial Parliament for Guelph, on behalf of the Honourable Rick Bartolucci, Ontario's Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, along with Gordon Tosh, Councillor, County of Wellington attended the ceremony.
The 80-unit project located at 400 Edinburgh Road North in Guelph received $9.6 million from the federal and provincial governments.
The Government of Canada wants to ensure that Canadians on fixed incomes can live with independence and dignity and remain in their communities, close to family and friends. Canada's Economic Action Plan provides $400 million, over two years, to build new rental housing for low-income seniors. Overall, the Economic Action Plan includes $2 billion for the construction of new and the renovation of existing social housing, plus up to $2 billion in low-cost loans to municipalities for housing-related infrastructure. Canada's Economic Action Plan builds on the Government of Canada's commitment in 2008 of more than $1.9 billion, over five years, to improve and build new affordable housing and help the homeless.
In 2009, Ontario allocated a combined federal and provincial investment of $704 million for the renovation of social housing, and $540 million for the creation of new affordable housing. This investment is part of the Open Ontario plan, and will create an estimated 23,000 jobs over the course of the program, and strengthen local economies across the province. To date, Ontario has approved more than $519 million for construction-ready projects, which will provide affordable housing for low-income families, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities, and $525.45 for repairs benefiting some $173,425 social housing units. To find out more about affordable housing in Ontario, visit www.ontario.ca/housing.
More information on this and other measures in Canada's Economic Action Plan can be found at www.actionplan.gc.ca. To find out more about how the Government of Canada and CMHC are working to build stronger homes and communities for all Canadians, call CMHC at 1-800-668-2642 or visit www.cmhc.ca/housingactionplan.
Additional Resources
"Our Government is investing in safe affordable housing for seniors here in Guelph, to help create jobs and improve the quality of life for those who need it most. This investment, made possible through Canada's Economic Action Plan, means that more senior citizens can continue living independently in the community they call home."
Michael Chong
"Quality, affordable housing is essential to the health and well-being of our seniors. As part of our Open Ontario plan, today's investment of $4.8 million by the Ontario government will stimulate the economy by creating jobs and supporting local businesses, but most importantly it will make a positive difference in the lives of many senior citizens right here in Guelph."
Liz Sandals
"The County of Wellington is pleased to support this affordable housing initiative. Finding suitable, affordable housing is a concern for many low-income seniors. This new 80 unit project will give local seniors a safe and comfortable place to call home and will allow them to remain in their community, close to family and friends."

Three Periods of History
The history of a Jewish Calendar is divided into three periods: the Biblical, the Talmudic, and the post Talmudic. During the Biblical period the understanding of the Calendar was based entirely upon the observation of the sun and the moon. The Talmudic period rested upon observation and reckoning, and the post Talmudic period rested entirely upon reckoning. The Hebrews studied astronomy very carefully because of their intense need for accurate dates in keeping the festivals. The Lord gave the command in Deuteronomy 16:1:
"keep the month of Aviv,"
and made it necessary for the Hebrews to become very acquainted with the position of the sun. Also the command:
"observe the moon and sanctify it,"
made it necessary for the Hebrews to study the phases of the moon.
Calendar Numerals
Originally, the Hebrews employed numerals to distinguish one month from another. The month by which the spring season (Aviv) commenced was the first month (Exod 12:2; Deut 16:1), the other months were referred to as the second month, the third month, etc. The Bible reveals some traces of names of months: Aviv is revealed as the first month; Ziv, the second month (1 Kings 6:1); Etanim, the seventh month (1 Kings 8:2); and Bul, the eigth month ( 1 Kings 6:38).
Note: In post exilic books Babylonian names are employed.

Immunalysis Quantisal Oral Fluid Saliva Collection Device 500/CS
Quantisal™ Oral Fluid Collection DeviceTHIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND IS NOT FOR SALE
Over the past decade, oral fluid has become an increasingly popular alternative or additional matrix for use in forensic drug testing. This is due to its easy, non-invasive, observed collection. Here we outline the requirements necessary to implement a saliva testing program in any drug testing laboratory, and provide information on oral fluid as a forensic testing matrix.
Quantisal is the leading laboratory-based oral fluid drug test that combines the most advanced laboratory procedures with the efficiency of a simple, dignified specimen collection. With Quantisal, samples can be collected anytime, anywhere. No restrooms are needed, gender issues are eliminated and the possibility of tampering and adulteration are significantly reduced because the specimen collection is directly observed.
Product Features
For specs and Multi-Analyte Calibrator & Control details, click here.
Key Advantages: Specimen Volume: Quantisal has a unique volume adequacy indicator that ensures enough specimen for screening, confirmation and repeat testing. When the tip of the Quantisal collection wand turns blue 1mL (+/-10%) of oral fluid has been collected. This avoids the possibility of not enough specimen for testing or "Quantity Not Sufficient" (QNS) results.
No Artificial Stimulants: Quantisal does not use artificial stimulants to increase saliva production. One study showed that oral fluid drug levels were 3.6 times HIGHER in specimens that were not stimulated compared to those collected after acid stimulation.
Drug Recovery: The amount of drug recovered from the Quantisal collection device provides confidence that even low levels of drug are detected. For most drugs, especially Marijuana (THC) , the amount of drug recovered from Quantisal is significantly higher than in other devices.
Stability: The buffer from the transport tube stabilizes the specimen once it has been collected. Research shows that most drugs are very stable in oral fluid with the exception of Marijuana (THC). THC may degrade rapidly in oral fluid in uncontrolled temperatures. The stability of THC in Quantisal at room temperature, refrigerated and frozen is far superior to other devices.

When our officers arrived on the scene, they didn't know what to book this dress for first:
The length?
The cleavage?
The Dynasty-style puffy sleeves?
The print?
In the end, we arrested it on multiple charges. And it looks like we got there just in the nick of time, too, because:
This crime is spreading. Not content to restrict itself to just one dress, it's infiltrated two of them. Did we mention that this will cost you £260?
The model is now recovering in a Fashion Police safe house. Don;t have nightmares, readers…[Product Page | Thanks to Hannah for the report!]

Does Your Entryway Need an Upgrade? Start Here
Is your entryway missing something? It's the first thing you see when you arrive at home, and it's often a depository for keys, mail, bags, shoes, and of course coats. Is it a marvel of modern efficiency, or a stress-inducing clutter haven where everything lands at the end of the day?
With a messy, rainy season not far off, an organized entryway can help keep your home cleaner and drier, and a lot more relaxing, too. That's great for you and your family, and it's also a welcoming first impression for guests who follow that path to enter your home.
Here are a few of the many ways you can get your entryway in tip-top shape.
1. Identify your unique organization issues.
2. Focus on function first.
3. Spend time with our professional designers for the perfect fit.
Identify Your Unique Organization Issues
What are the issues inside your entryway? Do jackets find their way to a closet or hooks, or are they more likely to land in a heap or transfer on into the house? And what about rain boots, umbrellas, and bags?
Take a good look at the entry in its current condition. Most homes have certain patterns, such as mail stacking up where it oughtn't and shoes leaving water spots on the floor. For every problem, there's a solution, and your wide-angle view of the area - whether you enter your home through a side door, hallway beside the garage, or back door by the kitchen - will help you spot where your entryway needs a little help.
Here's an idea: take a photo of the entry and transfer it to your computer. That really helps put the space and your clutter issues into sharp focus, which is a great first step in identifying your family's patterns and organization needs. Things land in a certain spot for a reason, and a good system lets you work with, not against, your nature while maintaining an organized space.
Focus on Function First
Do you have a favorite friend or relative whose home always looks and feels put together, even it it's not fancy? That's because function is the most important thing about getting organized. Looks take second place, but don't worry - we'll get to that in a moment.
Function should be your top priority in designing the perfect entryway. If you don't like the looks of multiple coats in full view, then you need closed storage for your outerwear. If it doesn't bother you and you'd rather have convenience, then a series of hooks might be a better choice. The same applies to backpacks and purses. And what about shoes? Do you mind seeing them in a row against the wall? If so, a shoe bridge under an entryway bench is a perfect, tidy solution.
For every element that's in a bit of disarray, there's a way to manage it. And once that's settled, then you can think about making it look great. At The Closet Works, we have storage systems that are customizable down to the smallest detail, including wood grain finishes and hardware to complement your home's decor. Just because it's storage doesn't have to mean that it looks utilitarian and plain.
Spend Time with Our Professional Designers for a Perfect Fit
You've probably experienced this before. You spot a great looking storage unit, and you set it up at home only to learn that it looks cheap, it wobbles, and it doesn't fit the space at all. You'll probably lose a fastener or two in the process. Now imagine the opposite of that. Beautiful, high-quality storage that's not only sturdy, but fits and suits your home perfectly.
Custom design and fabrication are what makes it happen. Your entry has its own dimensions, and they're probably unlike many - if any - other. Even in a home without a formal entry, you can create one using the right storage. It doesn't matter if you use the side door, utility room, or back door to enter your home.
Maybe you want a bench with cubbies and hooks, but it needs to fit along a slanted staircase wall. You can get that, and our professional designers make it happen. Or maybe you'd like a proper armoire where shoes, umbrellas, hats and coats are tucked away behind doors. You can have that, too.
We pride ourselves on offering you exceptional quality and service, at a price that you honestly can't beat. In many cases, we can design and build what you need in the finishes of your choice, and do it affordably.
You can outfit your entry with any number of things including attractive, water-wicking utility rugs (a very smart idea recommended by Zillow) and a large mirror for a last look before heading out the door. But for a truly organized space, it all begins with your storage. Contact us today for more information about designing your perfect entryway.

Contributions to Obama Campaign Track Bailout Money
Three other banks that were significant contributors to Obama received money through AIG:
Bank of America: $274,493
Wachovia: $214,151
Lehman Brothers, which did not survive long enough to join the list of banks leaching off the work of the American taxpayer, also gave the Obama campaign $276,088.
Individuals identifying themselves as working for the banks above gave Barack Obama's presidential campaign $3,617,724. In other words, more than 3.6 million reasons for the president to help focus the media's glare on the relatively minuscule $165 million in AIG executive bonuses, and away from their $43.5 billion portion of $100 billion of taxpayer dollars the administration, by design or incompetence, filtered to other banks through AIG.
In receiving $43.5 billion for their investment of just over $3.3 million, it looks like the banks that gambled on Wall Street certainly got their money's worth out of their investment in Barack Obama.

A FIRST team squad of 18 players may not be ideal, but with FOUR of those players banned for the opening game in Galway, Derry City boss, Peter Hutton, will be praying none of his players pick up any injuries before then.
Due to an accumulation of yellow cards last season, Hutton must plan without TWO of his back four for the new season opener against Galway on March 6th.
Shaun Kelly, Ryan McBride, Mark Timlin and Stephen Dooley will all miss the trip to the west, a fact that will give Hutton a major headache.
And try as he does to add new faces, the Airtricity League's Transfer Window closes next weekend, so time is not on Derry's side.
There's been talk of Hutton's interest in adding a number of experienced players but, at this late stage, any recognised personnel have got themselves sorted, so much so that the manager may well consider himself for a place on the substitutes' bench next month!
"Time is certainly against us and while I would dearly like to add a few experienced players, I have to say that I'm very happy with the squad we have assembled.
"If it turns out that we don't add any new players, then I'm happy to push on with what we have," insisted Hutton.
Of course, the fact that Derry will receive £110,000 following the transfer of Michael Duffy to Celtic won't make dealings in the transfer market any easier, but given the current financial situation, paying large fees for new players is not an option.
"Four players suspended for the Galway game certainly does not help us, but our focus continues to be on that match," added the Brandywell boss.
Tomorrow afternoon, Hutton will lead his charges against a Saturday Morning League Select at the Brandywell. Kick-off: 2.00 p.m.

Kasia Pilewicz was a contestant during Cycle 16 of ANTM.
Originally from Poland, this 26-year-old full-figured model traveled from New York, New York to appear on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 16. At the time of the show, Kasia was 26 years old, making her the oldest contestant in this cycle.

Kasia is very pretty, but definitely not made for high fashion, sorry.
High fashion requires a certain height and figure, is not intended to be shown for full figure models.
March 2, 2011 at 7:56 am
Hollllaaa!!! Yeah, full-figure models are great, but even Toccara had to lose some pounds and wait a few years before appearing on a spread on Vogue Italy.
August 25, 2011 at 6:31 am
BULLSHIT! Look at Kate Dillon. She was unsuccessful as a thin model, but when she went from a size 6 to a size 14, she became an instant success. Landing magazines such as mode and vogue numerous times.
February 5, 2012 at 8:51 pm
Yeah right I have seen fiercely real high fashon models. I love her body size, thats what actual models should be!! F*** u!!!!
March 1, 2011 at 3:31 pm
There's something about her that I don't like. I don't know what that is, but for sure, she is good.
March 1, 2011 at 10:04 pm
What I'm surprised about is how she was able to make it to the cycle even if she has a lot of modeling experience and has been part of magazines and campaigns less than 10 years before the show. We already had one Saleisha Scandal, don't start another one Tyra.
March 2, 2011 at 7:58 am
Ehhhhhhh, if she's already a model and appeared on a fashion magazine, why is she on the show? And she reminds of a shorter version of Whitney from cycle 10.
March 7, 2011 at 2:20 am
i must say i'm not in love with her proportions. Even plus-size models have to have a nice body shape, she just looks fat, not curvy as she should. She should really do some pilates to shape up those legs, abs and arms!
May 19, 2011 at 9:04 pm
I bet you are fatter.
August 15, 2011 at 5:40 am
She's POLISH!! Ur just looking at her round face.. Their faces are very round! She is NOT Fat!! Her portportions are great!
March 7, 2011 at 2:58 pm
She reminds me of Emily Osment.
March 9, 2011 at 8:46 am
I loathe her mouth/chin/underbite.
December 10, 2011 at 9:43 pm
its a jaw deformity and looks horrible – amd her legs are so chunky – NOTmodel material
March 14, 2011 at 3:47 am
I personally think that she's beautfifull, but forgetful.
May 19, 2011 at 9:05 pm
Do you mean forgettable?
March 21, 2011 at 12:33 am
Omg, yes I agree. If she is already a model, why is she on the show? Ugh, another spot wasted that could've been someone else. I agree she act like Whitney; so miss pageant act. She doesn't need to be on the show either. I thought that this show was to give opportunity to girls who want to be a model, not ones who already model. And to become what, a model! Kinda dumb.
November 4, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Yeah, but the same logic could be used for Alexandria, as she had done some runway and campaign modelling work not long before she appeared on top model. Yet I don't see anyone else saying she was a waste of space. And just because she's another plus-size model with blonde hair doesn't mean she's another Whitney. To be honest, I thought that Anya deserved to win that cycle as Whitney wasn't that strong, however I think Kasia is way better than Whitney.
Am actually quite surprised at how some people on this post have commented so rashly about Kasia not belonging in high fashion. It was only a few decades ago that full-figured women were considered high fashion, yet as soon as they started bringing in slim models, people assume that size zero is a constant in the fashion industry. Curviness has started coming back into the modelling industry; it'll hopefully make way for more variety in model's shapes.
And before anyone says I'm being naive or narrow minded by appearing to prefer full-figured women to skinnier women, I wouldn't mind if both types could appear on the runway together without it being commented on as something so different and unusual.
July 8, 2012 at 7:58 am
modeling experience does not mean super-model status. they qualify to be on. lisa d had experience. so has many of them. they still need to move up. if you managed a 7-11, would you not try to get in a program managing a fortune 500 company?
March 24, 2011 at 10:47 am
She looks very pretty but when her jawline disappears she looks like the smelly girl in your kindergarten class that eats her own boogers (mature way to put it, I know, ha!) and she doesn't seem to have much of a personality. They seem to edit her the same way that they edited Whitney– just her talking about her being different because she's a full-figured model. We're not really getting the chance to get to know her!
March 25, 2011 at 6:35 am
She seems to be a really cool girl, I like her personality. I'm not a big fan of her legs though but I always wonder how do they find these fat girls that have not even a lil bit of cellulite?
May 16, 2011 at 3:39 am
She is most certainly NOT fat! You do realize she's like…a size 14 or 16? If I saw her on the street I would think she was completely an ordinary size. It's only in comparison to girls who are nothing but skin and bones that she looks heavier. I think Kasia is a full-figured beauty.
March 25, 2011 at 8:48 pm
She is to-tal-ly fierce!!!
March 30, 2011 at 7:35 pm
She does look like Emily Osment, but she's not ready yet for high fashion.
April 1, 2011 at 9:54 am
I'm getting bored with her, most of her photos seems look flat and just okay. Well I think she can be eliminated very quick.
April 2, 2011 at 4:20 am
She is absolutely gorgeous to me!! Y'all just haters!!!! Good job, Kasia.
April 4, 2011 at 7:50 pm
The "the plus size" of the group but always maintain the most stunning pics. Love KASIA!!
April 7, 2011 at 9:45 am
I personally don't think Kasia is a scandal situation like Saleisha might have been, but yeah Kasia is one of the more experienced girls to make it on the show. Mikaela also had a lot of experience, but she just got eliminated. Kasia is a fierce plus-size model. Not as stunning as Whitney, but I feel like Kasia works better in photos and we could have a second plus-size winner. However I also feel like she's going to fall short and place 3rd or 2nd, despite what I predict, she going to have an amazing career anyway. I want to see her with shorter hair though and dyed. The blonde thing is her, but it bores me sometimes.
April 9, 2011 at 6:34 am
26 years old? Isn't that way too old to become a model?
May 16, 2011 at 3:37 am
Modeling should break boundaries 🙂 I don't think it matters her age.
May 19, 2011 at 4:17 am
Krista was 26, too, but she won.
April 20, 2011 at 7:34 pm
i believe she is better than whitney and alexandra from cycle 14
April 25, 2011 at 7:22 pm
for me, she's the next keenyah (cycle 4) mostly from now her photo is not fierce more like awful but she never been in bottom 2 also…
April 28, 2011 at 12:26 am
i think that she looks like whitney,the winner of cycle 8, isn't she?! i'm sorry if there are some mistakes of language, but i'm not english 🙂
May 1, 2011 at 8:10 am
She looks like a fuller figured Kate Hudson.
May 4, 2011 at 5:41 pm
i just love her..<3 ❤
May 6, 2011 at 10:41 pm
Her pictures aren't that good, she looks cross-eyed in a lot of them. Didn't like her at all
May 8, 2011 at 9:03 am
she looks like hayden panettiere 🙂
i like her! 😀
May 16, 2011 at 3:37 am
Kasia, you are inspiring and wondeful! Your personality outshone the rest of the girls. I hope you continuing modeling and become an icon for young girls and ALL body shapes everywhere! Truly inspiring. Thank!
May 16, 2011 at 6:11 pm
Kasia is my fave she looks very European like all of the girls from past cycles. Natasha, Anya, Mollie Sue and Katarzyna… very high fashioned couture…
May 16, 2011 at 6:12 pm
Kasia is my fave she looks very European like all of the girls from past cycles. Natasha, Anya, Mollie Sue and Katarzyna… very high fashioned editorial…
May 21, 2011 at 4:10 am
hatrrrrrs can you even make photos like that … good job Kasia !!!
May 22, 2011 at 8:04 pm
her expression is marvelous, but she somehoww forgetful
May 23, 2011 at 1:55 am
She can be high fashion. Rules are there to be broken. Who says plus size models can't be high fashion?
May 30, 2011 at 2:10 pm
Her face doesn't show a 26-year-old girl and I believe that she's a very pretty girl, but she doesn't know her angles cause in some photos she looks fat and in others she looks slim, but she's pretty!
June 1, 2011 at 4:02 am
She reminds me of my aunt that I hated.
June 14, 2011 at 3:21 am
Something is very soft about her face and figure. I like it a lot and she looks eastern european which is very positive in the fashion world. She also looks a lot younger than she actually is.
June 15, 2011 at 6:59 am
I was in my doctor's office, bored to tears waiting, and picked up the Nov. 2009 Seventeen magazine (with Kristen Stewart on the cover). Who should be in the "dressing for your body type" spread but Kasia. And she was "22" then. So. Seventeen must have a heck of a lot to say in who stays and goes in some of these cycles (not this one, I know, but she was already in there sooooo). Interesting, I say.
June 25, 2011 at 5:27 pm
She's way too old and a little fat to be a model.
January 6, 2012 at 6:05 am
don´t be ignorant! she´s really beautiful, and she doesn´t look her age! besides, she was a plus size so it doesn´t make her fat! there were more fat plus size girls on the show!
August 4, 2011 at 6:19 am
Kasia Is Gorgeous !
August 27, 2011 at 3:56 pm
She is so sweet! Wish her all the best and hope that the cruel high fashion world dont cut her!
August 29, 2011 at 4:24 am
She's fiercely real inside and out. Most definitely out. But I like her.
September 7, 2011 at 7:45 am
Kasia was originally signed with Wilhelmina, Inc. in NYC before appearing on the show. She is now signed with an agency in Chicago. Kasia has flawless features and a beautiful, porcelain body. I wish people would see that thinness is not always considered attractive by many fans of art. If you look at the Italian Renaissance paintings of women there is an emphasis on the beauty of the full-figured body and these are considered to be among the greatest artworks of European history. Even Aphrodite has been portrayed as full-figured in paintings. "The Birth of Venus" by Monsieur Bougereau shows her as full-figured/voluptous. Kasia has facial features Europea photographers want in a mode. It's different for today's era because it's classical. Her face reminds me of the first pioneer and legend of the model's profession, Mme Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn. That chin could be Kasia's trademark! It's not to say that skinny models with a 24-inch or less waistline are unattractive. Janice Dickinson, Beverly Johnson and Suzy Parker are some of my favorite legendary supermodels and they were always with a 24-inch waistline, no less or more. Nowadays, having a 24-inch waistline isn't enough, couturiers want thin models. Let's be realistic, in Europe a model can only be thinner than 24 inches if she comes from a village where no family has enough food to eat. If you go to the city the girls have flesh with some being voluptuous, some being full-figured and some being skinny skinny. They're all healthy :-). The fashion industry has changed significantly since the 1990's which is where the model's look turned a downright nasty turn. Let's look at Karl Lagerfeld, for example, he uses plus-size model(s) in his fashion shows now, though 20 years ago he would have laughed at any plus-size model walking into his atelier(sp?) followed by kicking her out. In Spain the fashion council passed a policy years ago that no model with a skinny skinny body can do runway work….. I want to see Kasia on the cover of Vogue Paris.
September 22, 2011 at 7:15 am
Plus size AND old? Come on..
October 10, 2011 at 6:16 pm
She is not maybe high fashion but did you noticed compare to others in this cycle, how many photos does SHE have? Normal models will be always better and had more job. Why? Because more selling magazines like Joy and Bravo and others just life "models for plus sizes" because most of the women aint skinny.
November 8, 2011 at 12:34 pm
I think she should have been on top two. She is one of the prettiest girls in ANTM history and i think she belongs to vogue.And i dont think she's not even "fat". She's skinny! She just happends to have a nice ass.
November 8, 2011 at 9:22 pm
I like her..for some reason like the way her "head position" (bit up)… great personality and confidence
December 17, 2011 at 2:59 am
Stop calling her old! Lisa D'amato is 30 and she won ANTM all stars!
January 12, 2012 at 8:45 am
Shes beautiful enough said.
February 26, 2012 at 11:18 am
how in the world is this considered plus size?! seriously! i think she has amazing legs =)
March 1, 2012 at 3:27 am
I love how classy she was portrayed on the show. She's one of the more mature contestants. She certainly didn't look her age, but she acted with wisdom well beyond her years. I wish she would've made it farther over molly and alexandria but that's the way the dice rolled. She was classy, never one to argue. And she was truly happy to be there. Never complained. I like how appreciative she was of everything. As far as modeling goes, she's got a gorgeous face but I don't know about her body.
April 1, 2012 at 7:49 pm
I love Kasia, you go girl! Sometimes she didn't have the best picture, but there is just something about Kasia that I love
April 29, 2012 at 5:13 am
I think Kasia is beautiful and her proportions are actually lovely. What sets her apart is that she was presented with situations that would make any normal person break down for feeling fat but she didn't. She cried once for a split second then busted out there with "look at me, I have curves, but hell LOOK AT ME I AM ROCKING THEM!"
I don't like that she had all that previous experience, the shows parameters are technically not meant for those like her. Tyra and the panel loved the down curl of her mouth and while it was fine for a picture or two I found that she did lack variety in the face.
She is WAY better than Whitney. Her proportions seem to be more in order than Whitney's were, not that she isn't pretty too, but Kasia just has this shape about her that draws you in even with her shirt off.
I do not think she was strong enough in photos to win, as she didn't, but she is one of those that you know damn well she took from her time there and GREW.
May 4, 2012 at 11:30 pm
I think Kasia has a stunning face and figure! She's perfect for high fashion, she has a rare face, one I've never forgotten anyway. She may not look like your typical model, but she has a face you can mould in to many looks! And to everyone calling her old, she's probably one of the most youthful looking ones in cycle 16. I hope we see more girls like Kasia in future cycles.
June 10, 2012 at 4:58 am
Why are you criticising kasia? She's beautiful just the way she is people don't have to be a specific size to be high fashion.
June 20, 2012 at 6:50 am
Hermosa Reina, me casaría con ella sin pensarlo…
July 10, 2012 at 12:31 am
Kasia is gorgeous.
December 13, 2012 at 7:00 pm
Reading all these negative comments just reminds me how negative, self centered , and ugly some people can be. To be that negative about anyone who has done nothing to them shows just how insecure and jealous they really are. Makes me think. What ever your weight or problem is. Your not strong enough to fix it .
June 3, 2013 at 12:06 pm
I wish she is the winner in ANTM but she got eliminated but afterall she is still a model,,I LOVE YOU IDOL KASIA,,I'm your biggest fan :)….
July 12, 2013 at 11:45 pm
She's wonderful, talented girl. Wish there were more like her.
May 12, 2014 at 8:24 pm
She is very ugly pretty for me. I couldn't decide if I ever liked her or disliked her. I was very in the middle of the road with her. She came off as fake and disingenuous sometimes. I do think she has potential to be a good model. Just not sure if she's versatile.

You're like fucking children! You're judging her about her looks and her weight when she's obviously way prettier and has a better figure than any of you? You're all so fucking childish what's wrong with society? You don't even know her nor have you even met her yet your pointing out flaws like a jaw deformities? Im 14 years old and I'm smarter than all of you because I was brought up to not judge I think she looks beautiful 🙂 you're all sad cunts who're obviously jealous of her beauty. I find it quite sad that most of you are adults yet you're absolute brats with no respect. I bet half of you wouldn't even be abld to show a bit of skin because you're insecure so why try and bring someone else down! It makes me sick to see how low people can get – Cally Mc Cormack

Your nail-polish topples thick and over, glossy, glowing gloss starts trickling to the carpet. More information Though we'd like to remind one it isn't a fantastic strategy to paint your claws within an unprotected carpet or carpeting; timing is of the character! We have no enough time for carpet care obligations. You want to learn just how to make nail polish off the carpet! So get this jar, catch some cleanup equipment, and be worried about guarding your Mani-Cure (is not a stain-free carpet more crucial than just the usual temporary Mani-Cure?). Continue reading to learn just how to make nail polish off the carpet.
1. ACT FAST. The more you wait, the more difficult the blog will probably soon be. It might float farther in the carpet fibers or run dry. Thus the moment you observe that the stain, start learning just how to make nail polish off the carpet.
2. BLOT, Do Not RUB. Once you watch a bright nail polish stain on your carpet, your instinct may be to catch a paper towel or cloth and get started rubbing it if you halfway up spilled water. This system may, in fact, push the nail-polish farther into the carpet. Therefore it's crucial that you blot the stain alternatively. Start the borders and work also, so the blot will not disperse.
3. REMOVE The Surplus. Before you grab the cleaning services and products, remove as much of the stain as possible. Employing the blotting procedure, dab as much of the stain as you can with a paper towel or cloth.
4. Execute A TEST PATCH. Now it's time for you to take away the blot. Before you get started pitching cleaning services and products onto the offending area, examine them at a concealed and hidden location of your carpet. It is particularly essential in case you get a dark-colored carpet, as a few services and products will get rid of the carpet's dye in addition to the nail polish.
5. Take Out THE STAIN. If a rug is a light coloring, consider having a non-acetone nail polish remover (acetone can hurt your carpet). Pour on a cone and then blot the stain, slowly removing it. If a rug is dark, then consider using hairspray or rubbing alcohol as an alternative. Again, spray/pour them on a rag and then blot. If these processes do not function, you may even use window cleaner (such as Windex) or carpet cleaner.)
