Chanel Metiers D'arts Pre-Fall 2015 Collection
Chanel is by far one of our favourite brands within the fashion world. Coco Chanel's distinctive life has been captured on multiple film versions and has become the inspiration for many a designer who has dreamed of making it in the competitive industry. Founded in 1909 by Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, the fashion house has specialized in outstanding haute-couture, ready-to-wear clothing, luxury goods and stylish fashion accessories. Throughout the years, the brand has catered to women's needs for elegance in dress, as well as blouses and suits, trousers and jewelry. This is where the "little black dress' concept was born and through which the Perfume N¬¨¬®'Äö√†√ª 5 de Chanel came to life alongside the magnificence of the Chanel suit. Coco Chanel was instrumental in replacing the structured and constrictive over-designed clothing of the past centuries with something that was both functional and flattering to a woman's figure. The Chanel brand revolutionized the fashion industry as a whole and there's much that we owe to the vivacious young woman, who took matters into her own hands.
Now, we watch as the incredible fashion house zooms through the year and presents its collections about a year ahead of time. While most fashionisers are preparing for the spring/summer season, Chanel's Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, have it all figured out and moved on to pre-fall 2015, as well as winter 2015-16 designs presenting the ultra-spectacular Chanel Metiers D'art pre-fall 2015 collection in Salzburg, Austria yesterday night. What we're seeing is the typical Chanel haute couture in mind, with its focus on function and flattery. German lederhosen have inspired a new line of handbags with a drop-front fly transformed into a zip pouch meant to bring a flush to the cheeks when searching for that lipstick. It appears to be both a hilarious prank but quite logical at the same time. The Chanel jacket is also in, with its contrast-trim, four-pocket style reminiscent of lift operators from the Mittersill hotel. Now we get to see fetching newer version of the jacket, along with pretty and frothy blouses or sweaters to wear underneath.
For the Chanel pre-fall 2015 collection, we see a healthy balance of hyper-embellishment on more conservative chic, from ivory cardigans in boiled wool to edelweiss embroidered on suede leggings, ribbons and ruffled sleeves and rather dramatic coat styles made out of feathers that are reminiscent of Austrian aristocrats and their falconry practices. Heidi's braids have turned into quirky earmuffs and cape-like jackets with gilded trimmings have added a dramatic effect. We see handsome flannel trousers with braided stripes and dresses with butterflies or feathers on pale blue chiffons.
The Chanel Métiers D'art pre-fall 2015 collection, clocking double-digit gains, represents the fastest-growing part of the Chanel business today, according to Bruno Pavlovsky, president of Chanel fashion.
There is a design that is a certain favourite of ours, complete with the creamy white Chanel jacket, the feathered turtle-neck, the bejewelled elegant but sizable necklace, the velvet leggings and the laced back and white boots. There's just so much to love about this piece, with its comfortable but chic design truly inspiring aristocratic behaviour in the individual donning the outfit.
There's something quite noble about the livery donned in the look, wherein we see gilded embroidery all around the royal red cape-like jacket that's thrown over a matching dress that's both captivating and sophisticated in design. Showing just the right amount of leg to draw the gaze, the very 19th century boots with gilded laces finish up the ensemble quite perfectly.
If we are talking Austro-Hungarian nobility, that button-down piece with its gilded braid designs and golden buttons, complete with high collar and an eastern-style cross as embellishment certainly take home the cake. Speaking of cake, the forest green of the jacket dress looks rather out of place against pastel pink shoes; then again, Chanel always adds a modern twist to its olden designs so this might just be the perfect match. We just need to get used to seeing the combination together.
There's no other word that can describe the motion we feel when faced with the beauty of the next piece. It's not over-the-top with golden embroidery, but a sportively dashing mix of black velvet, navy fabric and red accents along the edges, adding to the simple but captivating riding gear emulation of a modern runway outfit. Complete with leather laced up boots and a matching red handbag hanging off the model's shoulder, we can certainly dream about being able to afford haute couture Chanel.
Of course, we have our more delicate lady-like designs as well that seem to have been inspired by folklore character Heidi or another such lovely little girl who wore pretty midi dresses with gorgeous rose embroideries, donned teal blue jackets, grabbed crimson red gloves for her hands, and of course had her hair in blonde braids that have been turned into modern earmuffs with a quirky design. Black lace-up leather boots and a paisley print dainty purse finish off the look with an air of innocent sophistication that can only be captured by Chanel.
What with the library background with all the dusty, musky books lined along the shelves, the next look is that of a proper businesswomen running the best library in town. She's got class, turns up her nose in disdain at the thought of a digital selection and knows every last piece of classical literature like the back of her hand. She wears the loose fitting professional trousers, layers with a moss green suede jacket with lightly gilded edges, and wears her blouse in black with lighter coloured feathers curling away from the top of her neck. It's a delightful look that is chic, sophisticated and probably a little Puritan in design.
The Chanel sweater dresses are actually quite dreamy unto themselves, with a creamy coloring and lacy embroidery all about, complete with slight frills at the sleeves, ribbons running down the chest (in this case two distinct black ribbons providing much needed contrast to the look) and double pockets. Black tights underneath the dress and gorgeous shiny black boots that reach to just under the knees create a look that's positively stunning. This is probably one of our favourite ensembles out of the entire Chanel Metiers D'art pre-fall 2015 collection.

Lets talk about support. I have been in the hospital now for 4 weeks straight! In those 4 weeks I have never received more offers of help in my life! Between my military family, most of which I barely know very well, offering to care for my daughter and come to the hospital to keep me company to my parents and Joe's parents dropping everything to come to my house and help clean and maintain it and care for Adrianna (and feed my husband). I am so very lucky to have such a great support system. Some of my friends have even come to the hospital just to chat for a few hours, how nice to have regular girl talk :)
Anyway, as my time being pregnant comes close to ending I have started to think about what life will be like with 3 kids 3 and under....two of which will be newborns. I am never one that likes to ask for help. I actually really hate asking for help unless I really need to, emergency situations and such. I am pretty sure that is why I ended up on hospital bed rest, I didn't ask for help nor did I listen to my body when it would tell me to slow down. I would go food shopping and think "it should be fine to carry all of these bags in myself, it is only a few steps away." You guys, I even carried cases of water 2 weeks before going into preterm labor! That did happen, and I should have never done that. We wont talk about other things I did throughout my pregnancy because, well...my OB has a facebook and I am afraid she will read this ;). Point is, I should have asked for or accepted help when offered. As moms, I feel like we grade ourselves on that kind of shit, "I raised 4 kids and I never needed help and I home-schooled, home birthed and my kids never watch TV and I still nurse my toddler who latched on from the moment they were born." Just because I don't do these things doesn't mean I am less of a mother. I am perfectly perfect for my kids and my husband. I have learned the hard way that help is nothing to be ashamed of. I am making it a point to accept help once the twinkies (I'm back to calling them twinkies, I am not mad at them anymore for misbehaving lol) arrive. My mom has been with Adrianna for about 4 weeks while I have been in the hospital and my MIL is here for about 1 week to give my mom a break. Once the twinkies are here, my mom will be back for maybe a week or so then it is just Joe and I until June 26th....then my 16 y/o cousin is coming in from out of town to be the relief. She will be helping me with everything, mainly keeping Adrianna company while we are tending to the twinkies and prepping our house for the move to VA in the middle of July. I am so glad to have all of this help. I am sure if we need my MIL or mother at any point they will gladly drop what they are doing and come our way. I don't anticipate needing meals made or anything like my wonderful military community likes to do, but I will not be turning away any form of help. I am done feeling bad for looking "weak" because I can't be supermom and handle it all on my own. This includes my feelings after birth.
With Adrianna, I had more than just the baby blues. I was down right depressed for a period of time. I did a great job faking it, but I had never felt more alone than I did during her first 6 months or so. I would cry throughout the day, had no motivation to do anything (I would force myself to tidy up the house but I never really went anywhere for 3-4 months), I couldn't sleep at night because I thought for sure Adrianna would stop breathing if I wasn't alert and attentive to her. It was miserable. Once she hit about 5-6 months I did some research and found a mommy and me gym class called Little Gym and it was seriously my saving grace! For the first time as a new mom I interacted with other new moms going through the same hardships of raising a newborn, it was fantastic. I will never forget the first time I brought Adrianna to a restaurant for lunch by myself. She was about 6.5 months old and it was after a little gym class, we went to Panera together and I juggled pushing the stroller around people and tables and getting my food/finding a table. It was hard and exhausting but felt so good once I settled in. Since that day, I began taking Adrianna out to run errands with me. They weren't always smooth, she once threw up EVERYWHERE at a Starbucks, pooped all up her back and on a shopping cart at a Target, I mean it was hard! But it felt good when I was able to accomplish what I need to during the day all while juggling a baby. Now, I am faced with twins. Will I have the same feelings again? Am I going to cry all day long, be stuck at home or stay up all night obsessing over their breathing? Chances are, that may happen again. I don't want it to but it probably will. I have had so much anxiety throughout this whole pregnancy. Now during my hospital stay I have the worst thoughts run through my mind...scary morbid thoughts. What if I die during labor, how will Adrianna handle not having me around forever? What if one of the babies die, will Adrianna keep asking for the other baby because she is so used to there being two babies in my belly? Will one be sick? Will one have Downs? Are the nurses sure they are getting two different babies when they check the heartbeats every night? Why do I think this way??? It is so frustrating because I feel out of control when these thoughts enter my mind, I feel like I can't breath or I just cry myself to sleep. It isn't healthy. So I suspect I will be just as anxious when the twinkies are home with me. Difference is, I will NOT be afraid to ask for help. I will tell the pediatrician the truth when she asks me how I am feeling (she would ask me multiple times whenever I brought Adrianna in to see her and I would lie every time). I will be honest with my OB when asked how I am handling things. I will talk to my husband more about these feelings and not try to hide them, there is nothing to be ashamed of. I hope I can resolve these feelings without medication. I hope that once the babies I will be so over the moon happy there will be no room for these crazy irrational thoughts and feelings. I will be paying more attention to caring for myself as well as them though, healthy me equals better mommy for them, all 3 of my babies :)
BTW, eviction date for the twinkies....JUNE 5TH!!

The Journal Fodder Junkies lead you through a process of self-discovery and deep introspection as you delve into the visual journal and what its creative powers can mean to you. Prepare to get still, get quiet, and go inside as you learn to encounter the visual journal as a powerful tool for living and dreaming.

The Dubai government and its state-owned entities have come a long way in tackling its maturing debt during the last two years, with the government now facing significantly lower liabilities, rating agency Moody's Investor Services said yesterday.
Despite the consistent improvement in governance, transparency and discipline shown by Dubai entities that resulted in the upgrading of credit ratings for some of these entities, Moody's said that some of these entities continue to face refinancing challenges. "The Dubai government's disclosures since 2009 have shown a redefinition of its strategic holdings that Dubai now considers as warranting its support. "We have seen a significant reduction in government liabilities," said David Staples, Managing Director, EMEA Corporate Finance, at Moody's. In total, Moody's has identified $101.5 billion of debt linked to the Dubai government and its state-owned non-financial corporates.
According to Moody's assessment, Dubai's contingent liability from state-owned corporates (excluding the debt of state-owned banks) is around $33.7 billion — significantly below Dubai's state-owned corporate debt of $68.6 billion, and excluding $5.1 billion of government-guaranteed corporate debt.
Direct debt
Based on publicly available government data, Moody's estimates the direct debt of Dubai at around $27.9 billion, of which $18.45 billion was raised from the Abu Dhabi Government and the UAE Central Bank to capitalise the Dubai Financial Support Fund.
The rating agency also believes that Dubai's likely direct exposure to contingent liabilities is further reduced to $12.7 billion because some of the state-owned entities that are eligible for support are not likely to need it, namely, DP World Limited and the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority.
Despite the reduced government liabilities, Moody's has warned that some entities such as Dubai Holding Commercial Operations Group, Jebel Ali Free Zone and DIFC Investments, which together hold around $3.8 billion of debt maturing in 2012, are expected to face refinancing risks. "We expect these companies could face rating volatility as they move closer to their debt maturities based on the ability and willingness of the government of Dubai to support these entities," said Frank Nowak, Moody's EMEA Corporate Finance analyst. "We are not ruling out any options available to these entities ranging from direct support from the government and refinancing through local banks. But as the maturities approach, these entities face execution risk which is a concern for investors," he said.

The electronic world we live in is teeming with potential security risks. Whether you bank online, on your mobile device, or even in person, you and your personal data could be vulnerable to attack.
To help protect your accounts, ALEC utilizes state-of-the-art fraud prevention systems to detect unauthorized activity, while our staff constantly monitors your accounts for suspicious account behavior.
We work hard at ensuring your security. But so can you.
Here's how you can protect yourself against identity theft.
- Always look at your monthly statements. Check all transactions for accuracy and immediately report anything suspicious. Keep your statements in a secure place.
- Keep track of billing and statement cycles. Missing statements may be caused by identity thieves submitting change-of-address forms to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). The mail may be diverted to hide charges from the victim or intercept private financial documents mailed to the victim.
- Make sure your financial institutions have your current address and telephone number. If suspicious account activity is spotted by one of your financial institutions, you will need to be contacted right away.
- Keep a list of verified phone numbers. For all your accounts, write down the telephone numbers to reach each financial institution. Record the official numbers from the statements and other documents you directly received from your financial institutions.
- Do not respond to unsolicited phone calls. Never give out your personal information to someone unless you placed the call. If an unsolicited phone call sounds legitimate, ask for the person's name, position and phone number, then call your financial institution.
- Review your credit report at least once a year. Free credit reports are available every 12 months at www.annualcreditreport.com
- Use the post office or an official USPS mailbox. Never use an unlocked mailbox for outgoing mail that contains personal financial information such as bill payments or accepted credit card applications.
- Incoming mail should be picked up promptly. When traveling, always have your mail held at your local USPS branch.
- Protect your PIN and passwords for credit and debit cards. Memorize your PINs and passwords, instead of writing them down. Do not use PINs and passwords that can be personally connected to you — such as your SSN, phone number, address, names of family members or friends, or cars. Passwords should include letters and numbers where possible.
- Shred your financial trash. Any piece of paper with personal financial information should be put through a shredder or scissor-cut before being thrown out. Preapproved credit card applications should never be placed in the trash unless destroyed first. Plastic cards such as credit and debit cards should be cut up and destroyed.
- Internet frauds. Never enter personal information into a web page unless you have entered the web page address yourself — and then only on a secured website. Beware of emails asking for personal financial information. Instead, call the company or enter their web address directly into your web browser.
- Don't keep all your credit and debit cards in your purse or wallet. Carry only the cards you would need in an emergency. Then, if your purse or wallet is stolen, only the stolen cards will need to be cancelled.
- Don't carry your Social Security card, passport or birth certificate. Keep these documents in a secured place unless needed. Avoid giving out your Social Security Number wherever possible.
What is Phishing?
Phishing is an extremely prevalent email scam that involves the use of replicas of existing web pages to try to deceive you into entering personal, financial or password data.
Chances are, you have an email inbox that's already received unfamiliar or unexpected messages asking you to verify personal information over the Internet or urging you to click a link. Cyber criminals often operate falsely under the guise of a familiar entity (such as the IRS or bank).
Never let your guard down. And always be highly suspicious of unsolicited communications.
ALEC, and most other reputable institutions, will never ask you via email to verify account information. And ALEC will never use email to threaten or warn you of account closure.
Other safeguards to help protect you from phishing scams:
- Beware of any email messages that use a tone of urgency or scare tactics (such as threats to close accounts).
- Do not respond to email messages asking you to verify personal information.
- Delete suspicious email messages without opening them. If you open a suspicious email message, DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS OR CLICK ANY LINKS.
- Install and regularly update virus protection software.
- Keep your computer operating system and web browser current.
If you see a suspicious-looking email message claiming to be from ALEC, please contact us immediately. We continually monitor such reports and act on them promptly to ensure the security of our members.
What is Vishing?
Similar to Phishing, Vishing is the act of using the telephone in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The scammer usually pretends to be a legitimate business, and fools the victim into thinking he or she will profit.
What is SMSishing?
Similar to Phishing, SMSishing (SMS phishing) is when a potential identity thief sends you a text message asking for personal or account information. Because the text appears to be from a reputable contact, many people respond, and that's when the theft begins.
What is Pharming?
A new scam that's being increasingly seen is called pharming. Unlike phishing that requires the victimized user to click on a link or attachment, this scam simply redirects victims to fraudulent websites without assistance.
Pharming subverts a basic service of the Internet known as the Domain Name Service (DNS). Each machine connected to the Internet knows the location of one or more DNS servers. This service translates a human-friendly URL name (such as www.alecu.org) into an IP address, which is a unique number that has been assigned to each web server on the Internet.
Pharmers must first gain access to the DNS server and replace the IP number for the financial institution's URL with the IP number of his or her fraudulent website. When this occurs, any person using that DNS server will be secretly redirected to the fraudulent website.
Pharming requires either an unpatched software/server vulnerability to exist on the DNS server itself, or the criminal needs an insider at the ISP or financial institution to make unauthorized DNS server changes. The good news is, this rarely occurs.
Rest assured, ALEC regularly manages and updates its DNS server's software to maintain the extremely high level of security to help ensure that our members are protected. In addition, our website utilizes Pharming ShieldT, a proprietary suite of protection services designed to detect the widest variety of pharming and identity theft activity. Pharming Shield provides full protection against DNS hijacking, website defacement and SSL theft.
How to Report Identity Theft
If you've become a victim of a phishing scam or identity theft, here are vital steps you should take immediately.
If you've given out your credit, debit card information:
- Report the incident to the card issuer immediately.
- Cancel your account and open a new one.
- Review billing statements carefully after the incident.
- If the statements show unauthorized charges, contact your financial institution immediately.
If you've given out your bank account information:
- Report the theft to the financial institution as quickly as possible.
- Cancel your account and have a new one opened.
If you've downloaded a virus or Trojan Horse:
Viruses or a Trojan Horse (unobtrusive malware that is inside your computer that contain malicious code) often install "key logger" programs that capture every keystroke on your computer, then forward the information you typed to cyber criminals (such as Social Security Numbers, account and credit card numbers, usernames and passwords, plus other valuable personal data).
If this occurs, you likely may not be aware. To minimize this risk, you should:
- Install and/or update anti-virus and personal firewall software.
- Update all virus definitions and run a full scan.
- Have a professional clean your computer completely and update all of your passwords.
Other security precautions if you suspect your personal information is in the wrong hands:
- Check all other accounts you have that could have been fraudulently accessed —including eBay, PayPal, your email ISP, online bank accounts, and other e-commerce accounts you've visited.
- Document the names and phone numbers of everyone you speak with regarding the incident. Follow-up your phone calls with letters. Keep copies of all correspondence.

I am self-employed and I am an award-winning virtual assistant. That means that I do all of your time-consuming tasks like word processing, data entry, desktop publishing, social media and transcription so you can concentrate on your revenue-generating duties.
I also teach Facebook workshops and host a cable television show for the local chamber of commerce. I founded Maryland Secretarial Services, Inc. in 1997.
Sisters under the skin—I used to own a temporary service! I know exactly what you've been doing.
When and why did you begin writing?
I began writing because I started a job program for teens in my city. Teens from 14-16 really needed help as there are not a lot of jobs for them and they get bored because they are not driving yet. My goal was to help them find jobs. I started writing my first book in 2003 and it took me 10 years to self-publish it. It is called Your Resume and Interview Guide. It is mostly for first-time and teen job hunters.
What is your genre?
My genre is anything I think about and anything I want to write about. I don't want to restrict myself and my writing. I write what I know about, which is kids and marketing.
Are you an organized outliner or more of a seat of pants writer?
I write on my desktop computer. I wing it without outlines or instruction.
Another seat-of-pantser! What other writer inspires you? Your work?
My daughters, Alyssa and Andrea, inspire me. I don't have any writers that inspire me as I am not a big reader. I find that reading is tedious and boring unless the story is absolutely spell-binding from the very beginning.
What is your favorite work by you? And why is it your fav?
I like "Easy Guide to Your Facebook Business Page" best. It is a work of passion.
I am adamant about posting your business on Facebook. I also teach Facebook classes in two levels in the local senior center and for two chambers of commerce. The only problem is that I have to keep up with all the changes in Facebook and I constantly have to revise the book.
Where does your character inspiration come from?
Since I have written 11 books to date, with many more to come, I guess my favorite character so far is Chippy.
Chippy is a live chipmunk who lives near the pond in my backyard. I wrote Pond Adventures with Chippy from live events that I watched from my family room window.
What's your best/worst experience as a writer?
My best experience is when people giggle when I tell them there are 26 ways to use mud in "Mud Pies" or children remember the story when I read it to them and they start repeating it for "Felix and Purple Giant".
My worst experience is when people take advantage of free books and they don't even bother to write reviews.
Share the best/worst writing advice you ever got.
The best writing experience I ever got was actually self-publishing advice. A friend and customer of mine, Ash Shukla, suggested that I use Create Space to self-publish. I had never heard of such a thing. I have self-published 11 books since September 2012. I don't think
I have ever gotten any bad writing advice.
What is your latest published work?
My latest book is "Mud Pies". It is a 56-page children's book and includes 26 ways to use mud. It's available on Amazon.
Do you have another work in progress? If yes, tell us about it.
I have several books in the works but I would rather not say what they are right now. But they will be fabulous.
What do you want your fans to know about you and your work?
My business books are to help you, whether you are in need of "An American Virtual Assistant" because you want to become a virtual assistant
preparing for a job interview via "Get a Job! Your Resume and Interview Guide"
or "Monkey Farts"
because you are selling your crafts.
My children's books come from my heart and most were inspired by true events.
Tell us something about yourself that your readers don't already know.
I have two wonderful daughters, Alyssa and Andrea. They are my inspiration and I dedicate all my books to them. I am also an adjunct professor for a community college and I host a cable television show for the chamber of commerce.

Fight Dinosaurs with lightsabers. 16:37
One of my clients asked me to do a poster for his six year old son as a Christmas present. The specific brief was to include dinosaurs, lightsabers, his electric guitar, his Kung-Fu pyjamas, explosions and ninja cats.
Rarely in my profession do we get paid for this much awesome.
I don't know if the "client" liked it- but I really hope so.

PUR price available upon request
Sculpture: perforated metal rising upward
Peter Zecher (1945-1996) artist signed/dated 1989
Bent and welded perforated steel formed into a
lyrical origami-like open structure.
34"ht 10" diam
Bent and welded perforated steel formed into a lyrical origami-like open structure. Emanating from a solid variation of their contour, delicate forms cradle one another and recycle formation as they rise upward. Mirrored forms of a perforated cross section of a cube form v-shaped clusters reverse themselves, and then repeat,
each pair supporting the next at discrete points of contact yielding various shades of gray perforated steel at a multitude of orderly angles through which light passes and reflects and air freely moves, appearing to lift steel facets at every turn.

Liberty City own Barry Jenkins Brings the Oscar to Liberty City
When film director Barry Jenkins and playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney took the stage to accept the best adapted screenplay Oscar for their movie, Moonlight, they let the world know where they rose up from. "Thank God for my mother who proved to me through her struggles, and the struggles that Naomi Harris portrayed for all of you, that we can really be here and be somebody," McCraney. "Two boys from Liberty City up here on this stage here representing the 305."
At that moment, I was so fucking proud to also be a Liberty City native son. And when Moonlight won the Academy Award for best Oscar, I shed tears. We are not Bal Harbour. We are not Aventura. We are not Miami Beach. We are none of those glitzy tourist traps you see on travel brochures and national television broadcasts. But Liberty City is proud community of hard-working, talented people just like Jenkins and McCraney.
Briana Rollins went from starring on the Miami Northwestern High track team to winning an Olympic gold medal last year. Just a few weeks ago, Devonta Freeman, a kid from the Pork n' Bean projects starred for the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl. Another native, Keon Hardemon, could have just been another public defender. Instead, he's one of the youngest politicians to serve as chairman of the Miami City Commission.
Being from Liberty City taught me to fight for what I believe in, even if it means taking the battle all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The first independent music label, Luke Records, started out on Northwest 54th street and 12th avenue. Seeing Jenkins and McCraney conquer the Academy Awards, an institution that has faced valid criticisms for not recognizing black films, proves that people from Liberty City can do anything they set their sights on.
Many outsiders in the rap game claim Miami. But none of them can ever claim Liberty City because they never lived it.
It made me so happy to be from the most forgotten place in Miami where the voices of the suffering often goes unheard. Last night on national television, kids from Liberty City saw for themselves that their dreams can come true.

D-Arts Zero Hits Japan this Weekend/
Bandai's D-Arts figure of Mega Man X has been getting all of the spotlight so far, but that's about to change soon. Bandai has announced their D-Arts figure of Zero will be coming to Japanese store shelves this Saturday, the 20th, for ¥3,675 (roughly $47.96 US). Similarly to Mega Man X, Zero comes with multiple expression face plates, exchangeable buster and hands, and a charged shot effect piece. Unlike X, he also comes with a mane of gorgeous blond hair. If you're dying to import, you can get it from sites like AmiAmi (which currently has a 27% discount). Or, if you can be just a little patient, you can wait for the figure to release in North America next month, as toy and hobby retailers should be getting their stock then. Also don't forget that Full Armor X isn't very far off!
Update: Additional in-package shots can be seen here. Thanks Lalam!

Keystone Kops halt US-Canada pipeline, and target another
Source: SPPI
White House, environmentalists and U.S foundations seek to block all oil sands development
by Duggan Flanakin and Redmond Weissenberger
Oilfield workers in Alberta, refinery workers in Texas and countless factory workers just learned that the White House will not allow construction of an oil pipeline that would bring over half a million barrels of oil a day from Canada?s Alberta Province and North Dakota?s Bakken Field to refineries in Texas and Louisiana. The job-killing decision was a victory for radical environmentalists and well-heeled U.S. foundations that have long battled Canadian oil sands companies and the U.S. oil and gas industry.
President Obama says Congress gave him insufficient time to examine environmental issues. TransCanada Keystone Pipeline LP can reapply, he added, if it reroutes the pipeline around Nebraska?s Oglala Aquifer and Sand Hills area and addresses other concerns. In the meantime, the Administration insists, the project ?would not serve the national interest.?
Project supporters called the President?s decision ?preposterous,? and urged Congress to craft a way to gain approval without White House involvement.
?The rationales for rejecting the project are nothing but dissembling, red herrings and hot air,? CFACT policy advisor Paul Driessen commented. ?They are as credible as a Keystone Kops movie.?
The application for this project and pipeline route was submitted in 2008, Driessen noted. The Administration has had ample time to review every aspect. ?This is the same White House that demanded passage of a healthcare bill that no one in Congress had a chance to read, much less study and understand, before it was presented for final vote. To claim that two months was not enough time to study a proposal that had already been studied three years is absurd,? he said.
The Keystone XL project would ensure jobs, affordable energy and national security, which Mr. Obama insists he supports. His rejection demonstrates that his real goal is to reduce energy supplies, raise energy prices, and destroy jobs that are not part of the Administration?s government-subsidized and directed ?green jobs? agenda, Driessen and others say. Moreover, dozens of pipelines already cross the Oglala region; another well-designed pipeline would hardly pose an unacceptable threat.
Even the Washington Post editorial board says ?Obama?s Keystone pipeline rejection is hard to accept? ? especially coming one day after the President said the United States still needs inexpensive hydrocarbon energy, pipelines and a strong energy infrastructure. Quoting from government reports, the Post noted that the pipeline would have ?limited adverse environmental impacts.?
Few Americans or Canadians were surprised by the announcement. TransCanada spokesman Jim Prescott had previously told a Houston newspaper, ?It has become a political piñata … that the activist community and environmental community have used to drive a larger ? anti-oil agenda.?
Killing Keystone is just one part of a grand strategy that includes closing off Asian and U.S. markets from the oil; banning exploration and production across Canada and the United States; and even shutting down existing operations that radical greens call ?blood oil,? in an insulting comparison to diamond mining in African regions torn by conflict and brutality.
Indeed, the same coalition fighting the Keystone project has spent hundreds of millions of dollars from U.S. foundations to shut down Canada?s entire vital and profitable oil sands oil operation ? even though it increasingly uses less water and energy, emits less pollution and carbon dioxide, and relies more on in situ steam injection than surface mining. Radical environmentalists also oppose Canada?s Northern Gateway pipeline from Alberta to the Pacific coast, to facilitate shipment by tanker to Asia.
Canada?s government recently began public hearings on the Northern Gateway proposal. Opponents won a major victory when Chief Hearing Officer Sheila Leggett, Vice Chair of Canada?s National Energy Board, decided to let foreign citizens, foreign lobbyists and even foreign governments take part in what will now likely be a protracted and rancorous public hearing circus.
?The world?s Canada-bashers laughed [at Leggett?s decision], then signed up to testify,? Ezra Levant observed in the Calgary Sun. ?Almost 5,000 of them have signed up, including Hugo Chavez?s state-owned oil company CITGO, foreigners from Uruguay to Louisiana to Italy to Austria, Captain Jack Sparrow,? and somebody called ?Cave Man.?
?But the biggest threat isn?t the clowns,? Levant added. ?It?s the well-paid foreign professional lobbyists who used Leggett?s weakness to take over the process ? pros like the New York-based Rockefeller Foundation,? which Levant says spent $200,000 to hire the West Coast Environmental Law Foundation to try to block development of the pipeline and tanker port. But that is just the tip of the iceberg!
Vivian Krause, writing in Canada?s Financial Post, says the thinking behind U.S. funding against Canadian oil was explained in a 2007 strategy paper, ?Design to win: Philanthropy?s role in the fight against global warming,? funded largely by the Hewlett Foundation. Even earlier, Hewlett had paid Tides Canada to develop a strategic plan to fight oil and gas development in British Columbia.
Overall, Krause reports, U.S. foundations alone granted at least $300 million over the last decade to various environmental organizations and campaigns in Canada; half went to three campaigns. The Pew Foundation (heirs to Sun Oil!) gave $57 million to the Boreal Forest Initiative, which seeks to place fully one-third of Canada into protected areas and parks ? off limits to logging, mining, hydroelectric, new roads, and oil and gas production, while accommodating traditional hunting, fishing and gathering.
Through the George & Betty Moore Foundation, Intel founder George Moore worked with Tides Canada to give $30 million to First Nations to create a Pacific North Coast Integrated Management Area, which targets only that small part of the north coast of B.C. that includes the proposed oil tanker port site. The Great Bear Rainforest Initiative seeks to set aside 21 million hectares (52 million acres ? the equivalent of Kansas) from Vancouver Island to Alaska, supposedly to protect the Kermode bear (aka Great Spirit Bear) but really to serve as the Great Trade Barrier against oil exports to Asia.
First Nation groups have received at least $50 million from U.S. foundations, Krause reports, ostensibly to lead the fight against oil pipelines. A newly emerging big player is the Sea Change Foundation, funded by Jim and Nathaniel Simons of Renaissance Technologies LLC, a $15 billion hedge fund.
Terence Corcoran of Canada?s National Post added that jet-setting, oil-consuming movie celebrities like Robert Redford, James Cameron, Darryl Hannah and Leonardo DeCaprio have also lent their personas to movements ?aimed at shutting down large portions of the Canadian economy.? One wonders if they, too, are being paid with ?blood money? from U.S. foundations created through wealth accumulated from fossil fuels, mining and other industries now in environmentalist cross-hairs.
Canada Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Cabinet have taken a far different tack with the Northern Gateway hearings than the White House did with Keystone. While President Obama hemmed and hawed on the central question of whether Keystone XL would be in America?s best interest, Canadian Natural Resources Minister made it clear that his government supports both Gateway and Keystone.
In an unprecedented open letter, Oliver asserted, ?For our government, the choice is clear: we need to diversify our markets, to create jobs and economic growth for Canadians…. We must expand our trade with the fast growing Asian economies ? to help ensure the financial security of Canadians and their families.?
Oliver went on to denounce ?environmental and radical groups? whose goal is ?to stop any major project, no matter the cost to Canadian families in lost jobs and economic growth. No forestry. No mining. No oil. No gas. No more hydroelectric dams. These groups … seek to exploit any loophole they can find, stacking public hearings with bodies to ensure that delays kill good projects. ?
Oliver lambasted foreign special interest groups for trying to undermine Canada?s economy, and ridiculed ?jet-setting celebrities with some of the largest personal carbon footprints in the world? for daring to ?lecture Canadians not to develop our natural resources? and using lawsuits as a last resort to obstruct industrial progress.
The opposition has done its research, invested wisely and heavily, and expects to win. The Harper government has pledged to fight for a prosperous future against the eco-imperialists of Deep Ecology, who use industry-based fortunes to control and hamstring the lives and livelihoods of current and future generations. The stakes are high; our very futures depend on the outcome of these twin battles.
President Obama must face the very real likelihood that the radicals he is placating over Keystone XL will be unable to block oil shipment to China or elsewhere in Asia. The net result will be no American jobs and no environmental gains ? not even questionable or imaginary gains.
The oil will be extracted, transported overseas and burned under less rigorous pollution rules and controls, to create better jobs and lives for people across the Pacific Ocean. That will leave Americans with none of the energy or employment benefits that Mr. Obama insists he is committed to creating ? and the global environment with none of the land use, air and water quality or climate benefits that the White House proclaims will be its lasting legacy.
Duggan Flanakin is director of policy research for the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow?s Texas office. Redmond Weissenberger is director of the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Canada.

Sophisticated Kittens/
I've got another animal totem for you this week and it's cats! I'm more of a dog person but I can't resist a kitten (or anything baby for that matter!). Kittens are super soft and super playful - they make my heart melt. I've been asked a lot lately if I would make a cat repeat pattern for fabric, so I thought of this sophisticated kitty design that I would actually wear or like to see in a home. Cats are a symbol of communication, mystery, power, magic and trust. Many believe that cats can see and communicate with the spirit world. When a cat crosses your path, it is most likely trying to tell you something and your listening and trusting skills need to be sharp. They are also a symbol of independence, fearlessness and an agile body and mind.
Happy Wednesday! 💞

Engagement photo shoots in late fall and winter are an interesting time. Sure, you fight the cold, but most of all, the light is very low in the sky and I feel that it's more intimate, very warm, very calming.
I had a great time photographing Erica and Joey in the cold. They were more than up for it and I had a blast. They were fun, down-to-earth, and not afraid of letting go in front of the camera. I absolutely cannot wait to photograph their big day at Birchwood in Derry NH!
Below are a handful of photos from our photo shoot.

Sophos revamps MailMonitor for Exchange

Sophos has unveiled the latest version of its MailMonitor antivirus software for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, claiming customers will benefit from a feature that aims to stop malware from entering networks at the gateway.
Sophos' MailMonitor for Exchange version 1.6 scans the server for e-mail worms, viruses and Trojan horses and enables network administrators to disinfect, delete or quarantine infected messages.
The software also attempts to stop viruses from entering a company's network at the gateway and scans inter-office systems and e-mails that could contain malware before they are opened.
Chris Belthoff, senior security analyst for Sophos, said the latest version now includes support for Microsoft's application program interface (API) version 2.5 for virus scanning.
"With the new virus API that Microsoft has, we are able to read and detect any virus right out of the information store of the Exchange server," he said.
The Sophos MailMonitor 1.6 software only works with Microsoft's Exchange 2000 and 2003 servers.
Meanwhile, Network Associates has unveiled the McAfee AVERT (Antivirus Emergency Response Team) DAT (virus definition data files) Notification Service, a free subscription-based service offered to customers already using McAfee software.
The service will send updates to subscribers every Wednesday with additional bulletins when an emergency set of DATs has been released because of medium risk or higher AVERT virus announcement.

Cannabis Origin Story
Cannabis was first used thousands of years ago as a medicine by the ancient Egyptions, who believed their gods came from the brightest star in the sky. They called this "The Dog Star". Today, we know that it is actually two stars, Sirius A and B. According to the legend, a magical plant was brought down from these stars as a gift to mankind. It is believed this is the story of how cannabis got its name. Canna meaning "dog" and bis, meaning "two", the plant that came from two Dawg Stars.
We have broken our strains into three categories.
The Dawg Star Difference.
The cultivation of cannabis is an art form much like brewing the perfect beer or cup of coffee.
When it comes to cannabis a few things stand out above the rest, environment, nutrients, genetics and processing.
Our facility was designed to have complete control over its internal environment. This allows us to create perfect growing conditions.
We went through a 12 month process to bring you one of the few fully permitted and licensed grow facilities in the state.
We have acquired several award winning genetics that are grown in house solely for the use of Dawg Star brand.
We have a vegetative grow process to produce larger, healthier plants which allow us to harvest more yield during the flowering process.
We have a perpetual flowering method which allows us to harvest 52 crops a year.

Reprint short fiction: "Adjuva" at Luna Station Quarterly #33
It's March, and there's a nor'easter battering the East Coast -- so I've brought you a story about wandering through deserts.
"Adjuva", originally published in 2016 in the now-defunct Lakeside Circus, has been reprinted by Luna Station Quarterly. You can read it here: http://lunastationquarterly.com/story/adjuva/
This is a story I could not have written without being a Byzantinist -- without being a historian, which is in many ways a thing that talks to the dead.
I wrote a version of it at white-heat in the deep winter of January 2012, in the University of Chicago library. I like writing desert horror in the winter. (I like writing desert horror in general.) "Adjuva" was the second story I wrote after I decided that I was going to be serious about writing, in the sense that I would send my work to magazines. Naturally, having decided to be commercial, I promptly spat out some of the most personal, emotional, high-concept, requires-a-goddamn-Masters-in-Crusade-Studies-to-read stunt-writing fantasy I was capable of producing at the time.
I used to call this thing "Vladimir and Estragon Go On Crusade", seriously. It is my love-letter to Crusader chansons and the Gesta Francorum and the first trip I ever took to Turkey and all the unhallowed dead. To the complexity and horror of medieval theology, and to the untold stories of Crusading -- the Byzantine stories, the Islamic ones. It is -- years before I studied narratology professionally -- a narratological story, about memory and narrative-construction and the ways in which telling stories bends time until it kinks around a point.
"Adjuva" is also a study in persistence: the first time around I sent it to sixteen magazines before it got picked up. By the time it sold I had rewritten it substantively. Somewhere around magazine #8 I knew it was broken, and even knew why, thanks to an astute editor and a kind personal rejection, but was flat-out unable to fix it -- because the problem was in fact theological. This is a very Catholic story — I'm a very Jewish person, for all that I don't practice as much as I could — and sometimes I felt like I was wrestling with God, trying to find a way to let Michel have a way out that did not strike me as ethically monstrous. To write an ending where surrender was not only permitted but correct.
But wandering creates the desert. And narrative is a form of wandering, and a desert in its own peculiar way.

I just finished my last jar of this sweet and spicy jam yesterday and I'm really wishing I had persevered in my late summer canning marathon and made a few more pints of this stuff. I remember the day I took these photos -- it was about 100 degrees in my kitchen and the air was thick with pepper fumes....even the dogs beat hasty retreat when I started chopping these bad boys up.
I can't recall the names of all the peppers I used; it was a mixture of super-nuclear Bulgarian Carrots (those little orange ones), mature Hungarian Wax, plain-old Jalapeños and a sweet pepper or two. This recipe is super easy and adaptable -- you should use a combination of peppers that suits your taste-buds and tolerance for heat. This summer I'm going to strap on my ski-googles, put my gloves on, let the dogs outside, turn the fan on, and persist....I need a double batch of this jam next time around!
Spicy Pepper and Ginger Jam
1 pound of hot peppers, seeded and finely chopped (add a handful of seeds if you like it hot)
1/2 pound sweet peppers (like bell peppers or sweet Italian), seeded and finelychopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup ginger, peeled and finely chopped
6 cups white sugar
2 cups apple cider
1/4 cup basil, finely chopped
2 packages (1.75 ounce) Sure-Jell
Prepare jars and lids: place 4 half-pint jars on rack in a large pot. Add enough water to cover jars, and bring to boil over high heat. Boil for 10 minutes, then turn off heat and allow jars to rest in the hot water. Meanwhile, put bands and lids in small saucepan and cover with water. Heat over medium heat until the water is simmering, then remove pan from heat and allow bands and lids to rest in hot water until ready to use.
Add all ingredients, except the Sure-Jell, to a large stockpot, bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer for 20 minutes. Bring back to a rolling boil, add the Sure-Jell, and boil for one minute. Ladle hot jam into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe rims of the jars, cover with lids, and screw bands on until just barely tight. Place jars on rack in pot and cover completely with water. Cover pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, uncover pot, and allow jars to rest in water for five minutes. Remove jars from pot and allow them to rest undisturbed on countertop for six hours or overnight.

Plane Ride with Kids... Disaster or Delightful? Ideas to Try
Next week, my family is embarking on a trip to the beautiful Island of Maui. Most people imagine beautiful beaches, drink in your hand, swimming at the pool type of vacation.
I would love to imagine that kind of vacation too until I realize that I have to get there on a 5 hour plane trip first... with 2 young children! Will I survive? Will the other passengers maul me because my ADHD child cannot stop wiggling in his seat or kicking the chair in front of him?

The Underdog of the Skies! It's Planes! A Review! #ad @Disney #DisneyPlanes
Today, Disney Planes hits theatres!
My family was invited this week to get a sneak peak the new highly anticipated(by me) Disney movie, Planes!
I first saw a trailer for this during a movie 2 years ago! They teased us about it coming out last summer and then pushed it to Aug. 9th, 2013!
Oh well, it is here and my kids LOVED it! My son who really has a hard time sitting still, actually sat still through the whole film! My girly girl daughter wasn't so patient but they both came out with smiles on their faces.
Dusty Crophopper was a small town Crop duster that dreamt big! Everyone told him that he would never add up to anything except being a slow, low flying racing plane but he proved them wrong! Not only did he prove he was a great racer but he proved even more, that he was a great friend.
From the world of Cars, Planes show that the underdog can dream big and work hard to succeed at anything it believes in! While the others made fun of Dusty in the beginning because of his background, Dusty was reluctant to completely shed his small town image that had molded him into the great friend he was today.
I really like the message that the movie portrayed to the kids. Dream big! Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something! Try your best and remember your dreams!
I think the boys will like this movie more than the girls as most girls(but not all) prefer the princess stories the best. However, I did see everyone in the theatre cheering Dusty on, including me.
If you have a fan of the movie and Disney in general, introduce them to two new Planes Games! Propwash Pusuit and Jet Stream Racers.
I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine did!
DISCLAIMER: My family was given tickets to a special Media viewing of the Disney Planes movie. All thoughts are my own. Do not use any pictures without permission!

Q7 Good Manufacturing Practice
Code Document Title Previously coded
Finalised Guideline:
November 2000Description :
Early in the ICH Process it was agreed that there was adequate international agreement on the technical aspects of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for Pharmaceutical Products and that further harmonisation action through ICH was not needed. Recently, however, attention has focused on the need to formalise GMP requirements for the components of pharmaceutical products - both active and inactive. In February 1998, the ICH Steering Committee agreed that GMP for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) should be adopted as an ICH Topic.
When this topic was adopted, the Steering Committee took steps to ensure that due account was taken of the work already in progress by PIC/S, FDA, United States and other parties. In view of the unusually wide implications of this Topic, a much extended EWG has been established which includes, in addition to the six ICH parties and the Observers, experts representing IGPA (generics industry), WSMI (self medication industry) and PIC/S. With respect to the latter representatives from China, India and Australia have been invited to participate.Implementation ::
