Nokia Bets on New $700 Cell Phone
Frank Nuovo, chief designer for Nokia phones, discusses the company's new 8800 cell phone. Nokia is betting on the phone to reenergize its sales and compete against Motorola's hit phone, the Razr. Nuovo has been designing phones for Nokia since 1989.
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
Nokia is betting on a new cell phone that will retail for about $700. The Finnish company is the world's largest cell phone maker, but it is has slipped in recent years and lost market share to companies like Motorola. Now we've called Frank Nuovo, who led the team that designed Nokia's new upscale phone. For those hundreds of dollars, you get a gliding stainless steel cover, among other features. Nuovo has been designing phones since 1989.
Mr. FRANK NUOVO (Nokia Chief Designer): My career has been to bring high design to a technological object and make it friendly, make it comfortable, make it, I would daresay, even sexy.
INSKEEP: Sexy?
Mr. NUOVO: Sexy. Yeah. Mobile phones--I've worked hard through the years to bring, you know, little black plastic devices into the world of fashion.
INSKEEP: So is anybody going to pay 7 or $800 for this phone?
Mr. NUOVO: All functional devices, cars, watches, pens--What do you want?--homes, mention anything, has moved into the luxury market, meaning that there's an embracing of craft, precision, high-quality materials. Take the Kelly bag, for instance, a beautiful purse from Hermes, and here you have dedication to craft, but a very raw material. And those bags cost an extremely substantial amount of money for a handbag. This is why we have studied the premium market, which is the very high end of the mass market, the high end of fashion, you could say, fashion accessories, but it's not yet luxury. So it's attainable but to a smaller crowd.
INSKEEP: Who's that crowd, demographically? Who are you trying to get with the 8800 phone here?
Mr. NUOVO: I'm not prepared to quote specific income levels, but people stretch at all income levels to get what they want. It's pretty amazing the aspirational value of a product like this--what it says both inwardly--what it makes you feel--but then obviously there's the outward, `Hey, this is my success badge.' These are factors in things that we buy, our clothing, our cars, our homes and there's nothing different about a mobile phone. All the same rules apply.
INSKEEP: The Wall Street Journal in an otherwise complimentary article says that Nokia has slipped badly in recent years, missing some key style trends. What have you missed in your estimation?
Mr. NUOVO: Well, I wouldn't say style trends. There's one--what I would call a form factor. There was a huge influx of fold phones from a number of competitors, and Nokia had a couple of them out on the marketplace, but it wasn't the dominant part of our portfolio. Those clamshells caught on very quickly. We've moved, in lightning form, in fact, to have our portfolio filled out with those clamshell phones, and now we have numerous models all over the world.
INSKEEP: Is there a moment when you take a boxful of everybody else's phones and dump them out on the table and try to figure out what they're doing right or wrong?
Mr. NUOVO: You don't gain that much from looking at your competitors. You really gain forward momentum from focusing on your end customer, knowing where they're going, where do they want to go? Otherwise, all you're doing is you're following moments, very brief moments, little leap-frog moments from competitor to competitor. What you have to do is keep your eye further forward and understand where the customer wants to go, and that's the real magic.
INSKEEP: Frank Nuovo is Nokia's chief of design.
Thanks very much.
Mr. NUOVO: You're very welcome. Thanks for having me here.

Well, I've been trying (and failing) to meet our tale of 4 gamers painting deadline and failing epically.
Below there are some of the conversions that I've been working on with the basic chosen. Simply cutting off the helmet horns, and adding different parts does a lot to change the look of the model I've found. I still have another 2 of this pose of which I'm going to turn one into a plasma/melta/flamer.
The test marine. As the alpha legion do so much covert ops, I've done their armour in a black, with only the shoulder pads. Being Chaos I couldn't go with out the gold trim everywhere though.
First of the Havoc's. Using the possessed legs and torsos mixed with standard chaos marine parts (and an Iron Warriors las cannon in this case) really does a lot to fit them in with the chosen from the boxed set.
Plasma gunner with standard assault marine legs (copiously greenstuffed) plus an Iron warriors hat. Plenty of work being done on an extra 5-6 more like this.
An early shot of the shoulder pad. They were surprisingly easy to convert. Just a bit of plasticard down the back/bottom and green stuff the corner so it matched the style of the chosen models and viola.
Hopefully I should have them ready for the next update.

When I heard Claire was likely phasing out of her swim lessons and was instead going to take acrobatics at a circus school, I was disappointed.
Turns out, my disappointment had nothing at all to do with Claire and everything to do with me. As a child I longed to be athletic enough to join a team. I also longed to be able to afford to take classes, hire a coach, or whatever it would take to figure out how to hit balls/dance in synchronicity with 12 other girls/run without falling in a hole. My belief at the time was that I would be infinitely more popular if I played sports, regardless of whether or not I liked any of the sports themselves. (In general, I didn't and still don't.) And despite the fact that I did all sorts of other things – first chair clarinet in the band, chorus member in the musicals, actor in the plays, president of the debate club, member of the drama club, writer for the school paper, member of the student council – I always wondered if I had started early enough in life if I could have overcome my natural clumsiness and lack of coordination to be some sort of sporting superstar.
I think we all know the answer would have been no way, Jose.
Claire is a great swimmer, and until she started getting bored with the terribly repetitive, teenager-led classes at the YMCA, I was convinced she was headed for swimming stardom. She is fearless in the water, fast, and has long limbs. I imagined toting her around to swim lessons/meets and cheering from the sidelines. I seriously believed the entire parental club of us would have "Team Claire" shirts. I imagined her and her teammates wearing matching jackets and sitting around the house eating pizza in Uggs. Circus acrobatics felt like a dream-killer (mine) instead of a game-changer (for her).
Like so many things during my as-yet short stint in parenthood, I was wrong. Like, REALLY WRONG. Turns out, Circus Juventas is kind of a big deal. In fact, it's the biggest school of its kind in North America. Most of the instructors come from Cirque du Soleil, Barnum & Bailey or other professional troupes and they are Serious About Circus. They stress form and physical fitness and teamwork and confidence. The coaching staff is made up of seemingly dozens of people, all with a laser-sharp focus on each kid individually and the performance of the class as a whole. To say I have been impressed would be the understatement of the year.
This past weekend Claire had her debut performance in the spring show, which features some 700-odd kids broken into three performance groups over two weeks. The spring show is like a ginormous circus recital where the kids get to show off all the amazing things they've worked on over the past eight months. They don stage makeup and fancy costuming, and the community turns out in droves. All three of Claire's shows sold out, and I assume it was the same for the bulk of the run.
The show started with a parade of toddlers in candy-colored costumes swinging two at a time on a trapeze, doing a somersault, walking on a balance beam, and sliding down a giant padded arch. We saw the show twice, and these tiny kids made me weepy both times. I don't even know, you guys. They were so adorable I told Joel I wanted to have babies just so they could be in Circus Juventas. I'm pretty sure I was kidding. Probably.
The acrobat kids were fifth in the show and it was quite the production. In addition to Claire's class – which cartwheeled and tumbled back and forth across the floor – there were the big kid acrobats flipping and hand-springing and walk-overing everywhere. The show had a loose (very loose) storybook theme, and the acrobats had Gatsby. It was meant to be a crazy, anything-goes party situation, and it totally was. If it were a viral video, I'd watch it more than once. And not just because my kid's in it. Promise!
Joel took his big camera to the first show, so we were able to get some really good pictures of Claire. I love this one of her the very best. She was likely coming off a big string of cartwheels and running to the end to wait her turn for another round. Look at her long arms and legs! She's amazing.
Oh man. Claire's class had to strike this pose and bounce their hips while they waited to tumble, and Claire was GETTING IT. I both loved her commitment to it and was horrified that, basically, she already has the potential to look 12 years old.
She was so serious about this entire enterprise. Joel is a musician, and apparently he has the exact same Serious Performance Face. Part of me wants to razz her about it, but I'm pretty sure she'll figure it out. Overall she's a joyful kid, quick to laugh and smile, so we can probably chalk it up to nerves. The crowds were really big, the lights were really bright, and she was on the floor with top-notch performers. I'd be a nervous wreck.
"I'm wearing EYELINER," Claire told me first thing when I handed over a bouquet of congratulatory tulips. It sounds like there was a group of teenage girls lined up backstage doling out the white eyeshadow and lipgloss, each team receiving their own special color swipe of glitter. And look at the pipes on this girl! Circus (and the swimming that came before) have made her so strong. If she keeps it up she'll be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
I'm not ashamed to admit I watched her first performance with teary eyes and that I was totally THAT mom who waved embarrassingly from my spot in the second row. I would not put it past me to order those Team Claire t-shirts, and Joel will probably have to sit on me to keep me from volunteering as a team captain for the next show.

A 'listed building' is a building, object or structure that has been judged to be of special historical or architectural interest. It is included on a register called the 'List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest', which is drawn up by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), on the advice of English Heritage.
Listed buildings are graded in three bands and their definitions are as follows:
Within Stafford Borough there are 832 listed buildings:
Regardless of grade, the listing includes any object or structure fixed to the building, internal features as well as external, and can also include certain structures within the curtilage of the building, such as outbuildings or boundary walls.
Listed Building Consent is required for all works of demolition, alteration or extension to a listed building that affects its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. If works are carried out without the necessary consent, this is an offence under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, and is liable to prosecution.

NOTE: So I decided to edit this fic a little and actually give it an ending here. I know that some readers may have been hoping for more, but I was just not inspired to continue this. It was only meant to be a side fic in the first place but the ideas came which seemed good at the time but just weren't really clicking.
I didn't want all the people who read this to be left without some kind of conclusion, that's just not fair. I know I hate reading a good fic to find it hasn't ended and will likely never be updated.
So I tweaked this chapter a little so this fic could have an ending. It was either this, or keep you waiting. All I can say now is that I hope you like the story the way it is. Thank you for reading this story, I appreciate the support. It was just unfortunate that I got writer's block.
Part 8: Romantic Resolution
It had been a long time since Carlton had woken up on a hard floor. Nevertheless, that morning found his body protesting to waking up on the ground. If only he had taken a moment to pull out the couch bed, he would have had a more comfortable morning experience. Unfortunately, there had not been a free moment since him and Shawn kissed each other into exhaustion.
Carlton remembered the night before with a smile. Making out with Shawn had been even better than his imagination. As Shawn had undone every button of his dress shirt, he'd been exploding with lust. Sure, he'd kept things above the waist in order for Shawn to ease into his new attraction to a man, but how Carlton had wanted to go further. The cravings had nearly driven him mad with passion.
He'd woken up around the same early time he usually did, while Shawn kept on sleeping beside him. Lassiter had managed to lift his half naked companion onto the couch without waking him. At least one of them should wake up on a comfortable surface.
After a stretch and a shower, Carlton slipped on a pair of pants, laid out a shirt on his bed and proceeded in making breakfast. He figured that Shawn wasn't a huge fan of bran flakes, but spying a stray pineapple sitting on one of the counter tops he figured that adding a few chunks of the fruit to the cereal would please the pseudo-psychic.
About halfway through cutting the pineapple, Lassiter could feel a presence behind him. For a moment, paranoia gripped him and he eyed the nearest gun hiding place. Then he remembered that unlike many times before, he wasn't alone.
"A man after my own heart." Shawn picked up the uncut half of pineapple and motioned that he would cut the rest. "Go make some toast."
"Did you just order me?"
"Yes I did." Shawn turned to Carlton and grinned. "Because I know I can get away with it."
Shaking his head, Carlton popped some bread into the toaster. He could feel Shawn's eyes on him as he did so, unable to stop his face from positively beaming.
"You look so sexy when making toast." Shawn slid an arm around the older man's waist, pulling him close and pressing a kiss to his lips. Then out of the corner of his eye, Shawn noticed the bran flakes.
"Oh come on, with the amount of sugar you put in your coffee surely you have some better cereal."
"I was going to put pineapple in it for you." Carlton explained, wrapping Shawn in a tight embrace.
Now completely ignoring the contents on the counter top, the two men became absorbed in each other. They moved so close together that air could not fit through their naked midsections. Shawn couldn't remember the last time he'd been so nervous while against someone. His heart was beating fast.
"Maybe I could just eat some pineapple chunks off your sternum bush." Shawn whispered seductively, claiming Carlton's lips again while fingering a few chest hairs.
The kiss deepened into something intense. Carlton pressed Shawn against the counter top, practically forcing him onto it. Shawn didn't seem to mind at all, grabbing and tonguing his desire with a passionate hunger.
A slight background noise pulled Shawn from the kiss. He eased off with a couple of light pecks.
"Toast is ready." He grinned, turning his attention back to making breakfast.
"Spencer, are you trying to be a tease?" Carlton asked, watching the pseudo-psychic put the toast on a plate.
Shawn proceeded in buttering his toast. He knew that his mere presence was driving his Lassy crazy, as he was also tempted to get back into the kiss. But playing Carlton had always been too entertaining to pass up.
"If I were you I would start calling me Shawn, lest you're talking about my Papi." Shawn turned back to Carlton with mock surprise on his face. "Oh my god. That's it, isn't it Lassy-face. This is some sick game to get to my dad, the real Spencer of your affections. Oh and to think I really thought we had something here. What really happened on those fishing trips?"
Carlton rolled his eyes, practically tackling Shawn in order to get the man back into his arms. "Do you ever shut up, Shawn?"
"Only when my mouth is occupied by other things. Like kissing a hot older man who just happens to be a sexy Irish cop with striking blue eyes." Shawn wasted no time in making out with Carlton again.
Carlton's lust wanted to keep going, but his internal clock and the one on the microwave nearby told him it was time to get ready for work. Reluctantly he stopped kissing his new partner.
"I have to go to work. You can show yourself out right?" Carlton headed off towards his bedroom to put his shirt, holster and jacket on.
Shawn would have none of that. "Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. You do not just kiss and run. It's cruel. So how about you grab life by the little Lassiter's and take a personal day."
Carlton sighed in reply. "You know I can't do that."
"You can, and you will." Shawn picked up the receiver to Carlton's phone and handed it to him. "We have all this lost time to make up for."
"I don't hear dialling." Shawn commented, tapping his foot to show his impatience.
"I want to stay here with you, but unfortunately crime doesn't take a personal day." Carlton went to put the receiver back, only to have Shawn snatch it from him.
"Come on." Shawn looked at the head detective with a pleading pout which soon turned into a grin. "Then I'm not going to kiss you until you call."
"Call me sceptical, but I don't think you'd hold out on me." Carlton moved in with a smug look, swiftly mouthing a particularly sensitive area of Shawn's neck. He nibbled the skin until he was sure Shawn was melting.
Shawn let out a light moan of lust. "Okay, you win. I can't hold out on you." He gave the impression of defeat before quickly snapping right back into alert mode. "But I can call the chief for you and tell her you won't be in."
Carlton jumped back from Shawn, eyes wide with disbelief and annoyance. "Don't you dare." No matter how deep his feelings for Shawn were the man still got under his skin that way.
Shawn began dialling the number on the phone. When Carlton tried to snatch it, he darted out of the way.
"It's ringing." Shawn threw the phone to the head detective.
Carlton's lips tightened into a thin line as Karen Vick's voice greeted him through the phone. He tried for a moment to resist, but Carlton knew the moment Shawn had kissed him that morning that a day off work was inevitable.
"Yes, Chief Vick. This is Lassiter. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it in today." He turned to a grinning Shawn, directing the next statement to him more than his boss. "There's some annoying stuff I need to take care of."
The moment his personal day was given the okay, Carlton put down the phone and locked eyes with Shawn. He began stalking towards him, looking ready to pounce.
"Call me annoying all you want but you took a personal day all for me. I really should have taken a picture of this Kodak moment. It's one for the books, don't you think my precious?" Shawn backed away slightly, looking for stuff to hide behind.
"Precious?" Carlton asked incredulously before shaking it off. "You are dead."
He leaped towards Shawn, only to have the younger man move out of the way. Carlton chased him, all while being told how much of a good step this was and how much fun they could be having. Any irritancy at Shawn manipulating him was overtaken by playfulness.
Shawn ducked into Carlton's bedroom. "Please just think about this Lassy-face. We mean too much to each other now, there's no need to hurt."
Carlton stood outside the door, knowing what would likely happen if he crossed the threshold into his room. He wanted Shawn like this, often fantasising about the younger man in his bed. But Carlton didn't want to scare him away by moving too fast.
However, a second later showed Carlton that it wasn't going to be his decision to make. Shawn stepped out from hiding behind the bedroom door and grabbed the head detective's toned biceps. He leaned in as though he was about to plant one on Carlton's mouth.
"Has anyone ever told you that you think too much?" Shawn whispered against Lassiter's ear. Barely giving the older man a second to process the question, Shawn pulled him into the bedroom and practically threw him on the bed.
"What in the world-"
Shawn pounced onto the bed, smothering Lassiter's chest in kisses. "I know you don't just call a personal day for all the boys."
"Shawn, listen." Carlton sat up and ran a hand up and down his companion's arm. "I know last week I scared you off. I don't want to do that again by moving too fast."
Shawn laughed before swiftly pinning Carlton to the mattress. "You know, I am a big boy…in more ways than one. You don't have to fight this."
"You're really ready to do this?"
"How about you channel the crazy roaring lion instinct you had last night and just stop thinking and analysing." Shawn touched Carlton's cheek.
"I don't mean sex Shawn, I mean this. Us."
Shawn looked in Carlton's eyes and could only nod in reply. "Now stop thinking and analysing and do what you really want to do."
"What I really want to do is kiss you until everyone from Gus to Henry to McNabb knows we're together." Carlton confessed. "But I don't know how it will work with the cases, and the department..."
"Hey, even if we can't work on cases together I still get to be with your where it counts."
Carlton chuckled. "But Shawn…"
"But nothing!" Shawn interrupted again, pressing his face to Carlton's. "Seriously, I nearly gave you up because of all those 'buts' you're referring too. Lassy, we're not going to be fighting this anytime soon and call me crazy but I don't want to. Not anymore."
"Yes, I seem to recall you did reject me." Carlton teased.
"You're not going to hold that against me are you; because there's only one thing of yours I want held against me."
Shawn pinned Carlton down, taking in every inch of his face. Capturing the only lips he wanted to kiss from that moment on. He couldn't believe he had nearly let this wonderful man slip through his fingers.
"Do me a favour. If I ever try and push you away again, can you handcuff me to this bed?" Shawn asked it was a playful yet somewhat serious question.
Lassiter grinned and ran his fingers through Shawn's hair. "Oh you can count on that."

Planning your wedding day is going to, most likely, be the biggest event that you will ever plan in your life. As you will be one of the guests of honor, you want to make sure that you are able to enjoy it to its fullest. When you are planning it out, you might have a meticulous checklist that you follow. But even so, it can lead to you stressing out. We hear the term 'bridezilla' for a reason! So follow these tips to make sure that you have a wedding day that is as stress-free as possible.
Remember To Eat
It might sound silly, but you need to make sure that on the morning of your wedding you have a large breakfast. You might be too anxious to eat lots and lots of food. But you need to make sure that you eat something. But once all of the ceremony and reception get underway, you will have little time to eat anything. That can make you cranky and not help your energy levels. So try to eat as much as you can before things get underway.
Hire Experienced Suppliers
You might have a friend of a friend that once did a catering course or baked a cake, but does that qualify them to take care of things on your wedding day? Making sure that you hire some hospitality services that are experienced, means that you can relax in the knowledge that things will be taken care of. If you use someone that isn't experienced it could really add to how stressed you feel. You don't want things to go wrong on your wedding day. Especially if there were things that you could do to avoid them.
Don't Use Your Phone
With Facebook and Instagram so popular these days, your phone can be buzzing all day with notifications and messages. So avoid the stress (and temptation) of checking it all the time on your wedding day. You will have plenty of time to see the photos you've been tagged in or all the congratulatory messages once it is all finished. So hand it to the best man or maid of honor and get on with enjoying your day.
Make Copies of Keepsakes Beforehand
If you want to have a copy of your menu or the order of service from the ceremony, then it is a good idea to make copies beforehand. Saving an order of service on the day is going to be the last thing on your mind. If you don't have time to do it all beforehand, assign someone in the wedding party the task of doing it for you. Then you can have copies of it all for your wedding book.
Learn To Ignore
At the end of the day, one or two things might not go to plan. But the best thing to do is to make sure that you don't pay any attention to it. Just enjoy the day as much as you can and focus on what you are there for; getting married to your love!

Am I breaking the law?
How many times have you asked yourself these questions:
- Does this referral of Designated Health Services violate Stark Law, or does it fall into one of the exceptions?
- Is the compensation that my practice is paying an independent contractor physician a breach of the Anti-Kickback Statute? Is there a safe harbor that applies?
- Does my clinic (or med-spa or multi-specialty practice or medical center) have a financial arrangement that violates my state's fee-splitting law?
The maze of statutes and regulations is complex. But failure to comply can lead to fines, civil liability, and even a criminal conviction. You must not take these laws lightly.
Physician Employee or Physician Independent Contractor?
Are there physicians working in your practice as independent contractors? Have you classified them correctly?
The question of classifying workers as employees or independent contractors is one of the most intensely debated legal questions of the day. The stakes are very high, for workers, businesses, and governments. Employers are attracted to the tax savings and liability avoidance that independent contractors offer. But governments, smarting from billions of dollars of lost tax revenue, have escalated their enforcement efforts dramatically over the past decade.
It is also one of the most complicated questions. The correct result may be different from state to state, and may be different within a single state depending on the context. Moreover, the law is in flux. Courts revise their interpretations of the rules over time, and state governments have been working to change the underlying statutes.
The current enforcement climate is very hot. Federal and state governments have embarked on a campaign of heightened scrutiny, higher audit numbers, and revisions to existing laws. If you're caught misclassifying your workers, you may suffer civil and even criminal liability.
How do I comply with HIPAA?
Bringing your practice into compliance with HIPAA is more urgent than ever. The compliance deadline was back in 2013, and the government is stepping up enforcement. (Don't fall prey to HIPAA misconceptions!)
Complying with HIPAA can be difficult, but it is not impossible. The statute is designed to scale up and down with the size of the covered entity. A solo practice's obligations under the Privacy Rule and Security Rule are not the same as a hospital's. But no matter how big or small your practice, clinic, medical center, or hospital, your compliance efforts must not be just a "nice try." A nice try is not nearly enough.
Don't fall into the trap of taking random stabs at various compliance items that you've heard about. HIPAA compliance takes a serious plan, tailored to your practice. It takes a systematic effort led by someone who understands how to satisfy HIPAA's demands in a way that works for you.
I'm being audited. Help!
Don't panic. Although ideally you would already have built a relationship with a healthcare lawyer who would know your practice inside-out and would have guided you to full legal compliance, the best thing you can do now is contact an experienced, responsive healthcare attorney to help you put your best foot forward.
The Reinstein Law Firm can help.
We can help you comply with HIPAA, Stark Law, the Anti-Kickback Statute, fee-splitting laws, and more. Don't wait to be audited. Let's get started today.
Ezra Reinstein is phenomenal. He is professional, warm, highly responsive and effective. I will continue to trust my personal and business affairs with Ezra and highly recommend his services to anyone in search of thorough and personal legal advice.

Johannesburg: Tickets for World Cup matches in South Africa are selling at up to 20 times their face value, despite organisers promises to make the tournament accessible for all fans.
Some ticket shop websites were selling seats at the Johannesburg final for as much as 4,550 Rand ($535) on Wednesday a hike of almost two thousand percent over the original 225 Rand fee advertised on the World Cups official website.
Prices for games most of which are already sold out are expected to rocket as the March 23 final approaches, inspite of warnings from competition organisers that anyone buying tickets from unauthorised dealers could lose their seats.
People who buy from the scoundrels and the rogues must take their chances, Clifford Green, the lawyer acting for the World Cup, said.
He said organisers could, in some cases, track tickets that had been sold by unofficial agents, with the buyers likely to find themselves blocked from entering grounds once their tickets were scanned.
But he added that there was little tournament organisers could do to punish unofficial agents who hiked ticket prices, particularly as many operated outside South Africa.
If we find out that someone is trying to do this (sell on tickets through unofficial agents at inflated prices), we cant really charge them with anything, he said.
The World Cup, which starts with a lavish opening ceremony in Cape Town on Saturday, is crickets showpiece event with this years edition the most lucrative in the sports history.
The prize fund of $5 million is five times as big as in 1999, when the tournament was last held, and the winners of the March 23 final will receive $2 million.
When South Africa was chosen as one of three co-hosts for 2003 along with Zimbabwe and Kenya organisers dubbed the tournament as the development cup.
They promised to plough money into the sport in the underprivileged areas of South Africa, vowing that all South Africans should be able to attend matches, regardless of wealth.
With tickets for the less high-profile games starting from as little as 25 Rand ($2.95) and the most expensive going at only 350 Rand, the development dream seemed to be a realistic proposition.
But the decision to allow people to buy six tickets per match in each stadium and six tickets for each team match which would have cost nearly 80,000 Rand and secured over 800 tickets meant the system was ripe for abuse by touts.
Cricket fans who queued for days to get their hands on World Cup tickets last year reported seeing some people handing over as much as 70,000 Rand for tickets.
Organisers have allocated 50,000 free tickets to poor South Africans who have a connection to the sport but, for thousands more locals, the tournament will remain well out of reach.
They should have reserved tickets for South Africans because some of us have not got the money, said primary school teacher Rebecca Mphela during a Canadian team visit last week.
The cricket World Cup is being hosted by a ghost people there is no one representing all South Africans there.

If the incredibly dreary weather we are having today does not scream for soup I have no idea what does. Cold wet weekdays like these can certainly put a drag on your mood. Losing yourself in a warm bowl of goodness is one way to look on the bright side of things. After all, no one in Florida is sitting by their pool in 80 degree weather enjoying themselves some hot and steamy soup. How unfortunate for them.
Other than the chopping this soup is about as low maintenance as they come. And it's vegetable soup which means there are no rules when it comes to ingredients. Throw in any veggie that you have on hand and sure enough, you will always end up with vegetable soup. The ingredients I used are pretty much my go to and things that we almost always have. If you want to make this extra special (here comes a tip I have said before but it's worth repeating) throw in the rind of your depleted parmesan. It will give the broth a hint of nuttiness that no one will be able to put their finger on yet they know there is something sneaky and amazing going on in their bowl. (Discard it before you serve as to not spoil the surprise.)
The spinach at the end is completely optional. I for one am not a huge fan of a cold salad this time of year. I want comfort and warmth – so my greens typically end up in my soup. Spinach tastes and looks much better if you add it in the individual bowls upon serving as opposed to the pot. If it sits in the warm liquid for too long all of it's color will vanish and the texture will turn to slime. Not pleasant.
We are being told to brace ourselves for an even worse winter than last. Fabulous. At least we have soup (our sanity on the other hand is yet to be determined).
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 medium red potatoes diced (skin left on)
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 2 carrots chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- 1½ tsp Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 can dark red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 can garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed)
- 4½ cups vegetable (or chicken) broth. (can use a combo of broth and water)
- 1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes
- salt and pepper to taste
- splash of worcestershire sauce
- splash of hot sauce
- Fresh Spinach
- Heat olive oil in large pot over medium high heat. Add onion, potatoes, celery, carrots, bay leaf and Old Bay. Stir and cover for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add beans, broth and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add desired amount of worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Discard bay leaf.
- Place healthy handful of spinach in bowl. Ladle soup on top and enjoy!

It takes no more than a matter of seconds of watching "Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)" to draw the conclusion that Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu wrote his dizzying opus solely for veteran "Batman" actor Michael Keaton.
But wishing someone like Keaton would star in his film, Iñárritu said, and having him actually committing to it, are two different things — especially for a man whose career path mirrors the film's narrative so closely in real life.
"I think Michael was always in my mind, that Michael was always the best for the part, and I don't think it would be nearly what it is without him," Iñárritu told me in a recent interview. "I never try to write a script for anybody specifically because it could be very traumatic for me if for some reason the person would not do it. But once I finished the script, I knew that he would be the best choice."
Expanding into more theaters Friday, "Birdman" stars Keaton as Riggan Thompson, struggling former film star whose life is in the dumps after starring in three blockbuster "Birdman" movies more than two decades before. His apparent salvation lies in a Broadway play, an all-or-nothing comeback piece in which he stars, directs and produces.
Before he launches into the critical preview period, however, Riggan has to confront a nasty nest full of problems, including the personal issues of a grown-up daughter (Emma Stone) he never really knew; a cast of helplessly neurotic actors including an arrogant Broadway star (Ed Norton) who does his best to sabotage the play at every turn; and a vicious theater critic whose all-powerful reviews can either give life to or quickly kill every production that dares to tread the boards on the Great White Way.
Hovering above the potential disaster-in-the-making, though, is Riggan's Birdman alter-ego, which has become such a part of his life that he appears to take on the character's mystical powers at times, and is often haunted by the superhero's gravelly voice. Fending off interviewers who really only care if there will be a fourth "Birdman" film, Riggan knows he will only truly be set free if he can stage a performance to kill off his blue feathered character once and for all.

Deluxe two CD edition. 2012 album from the Finnish Metal band. Ever since their 2003 debut album, Spirit Of The Forest, Korpiklaani have continuously made their way to absolute top of the "Humppa" (Finnish Polka) metal scene. 2009's Karkelo made an impact in the States on tours such as the Paganfest. Fans call their music "drinking-metal" or "party-metal" as they write cheerful, fun-loving folk songs that are undeniably catchy. On Manala, however, they focus on a more serious tone, particularly the Finnish national epic Kalevala. Manala is the realm of the dead and these songs concern a shamanistic hero who travels there in search of knowledge about the dead. Manala has a very ancient and heavily folk-influenced feel and is completely sung in Finnish, save for one powerful song - exclusive to their North American fans!

The kind of glitz last seen at the start of the Bill Clinton era is to return to Washington as the Democratic mid-term election victors mark their accession to power on Capitol Hill in Hollywood style.
At the centre of the celebrations planned for when she is installed as Speaker of the House of Representatives is Nancy Pelosi, a San Francisco congresswoman vilified by Republicans as a crazed liberal out of touch with American values.
But Mrs Pelosi, 66, a mother of five and grandmother of six, is the new "It girl" of Washington, despite her uncertain post-election performance in which her choice of deputy was rejected by party colleagues.
In the week of her swearing in on Jan 4, she will be feted at a dinner at the Italian Embassy in Washington to mark the fact that she will be the first Italian-American, as well as the first woman, to become Speaker. Tony Bennett is due to sing I Left My Heart in San Francisco to her.
The events will culminate with a 3,000-seat black-tie dinner and concert at the National Building Museum, close to Capitol Hill, where Jimmy Buffett, Carole King and Wyclef Jean are due to perform. Tickets are $1,000 (£510).
Warren Beatty, Annette Benning, Ben Affleck and Richard Gere are among the Hollywood celebrities expected to join Mrs Pelosi to mark what they hope is the beginning of a new Democratic era.
Previously almost unknown outside political circles, Mrs Pelosi is now a subject of fascination and even adulation. When she appeared on television the morning after the Democratic victory, a pearl wholesaler in Los Angeles received dozens of calls about her necklace.
The women, who were not all Democrats, wanted to acquire a multi-coloured strand of South Sea Tahitian pearls exactly like the one Mrs Pelosi had been wearing. Leon Rebibo of Pearl Source, is now retailing "The Nancy Pelosi" at $5,999.
Mrs Pelosi has been declared "a celebrity culture icon" by the Los Angeles Times and Barbara Walters, the grande dame of American television, interviewed her as one of 2006's Top 10 most fascinating people.
A Californian newspaper advised readers on "How to Get the Nancy Pelosi Look" by buying a "powerful, tasteful and chic" Giorgio Armani suit.
After the parties, Mrs Pelosi will seek to fulfil her promise to "drain the swamp" of Washington after a decade of Republican rule.

18-33 Year Olds Are Not Who You Think They Are
Jess Kimball Leslieon 22 October, 2015 at 10:10
By now, you've probably read so many articles about the all-important "Millennial" generation that you are numb to unambiguous proclamations such as the following joyful nuggets: Millennials love technology! They are 'always on'! They value experience over material goods (which, of course, is why they invented the sharing economy, which will surely solve all the world's problems)!
"States of the American Millennial" doesn't say anything like that. Well, there's some debate over the sharing economy, but otherwise, no. Instead, this presents our point of view on what's in store for the 18 to 33-year-olds of the United States. Not shying away from the rampant income inequality that has shaped and will continue to shape this generational cohorts' realities, the paper examines career, love, gender, relationships, child rearing, transportation, government—and yes, even social media—with a skeptical, realistic pair of eyes.
We see this as the beginning of a longer discussion: what does it mean to be 18 to 33 years old, once you throw out all the usual tropes? How can we set up young people to succeed, without being blind to the considerable financial and economic constraints of their realities?
Read the paper here, and let us know if you agree or disagree with our ideas. We'd love to hear from you.

Eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise and getting enough sleep are the foundation of a solid self-care plan. Without them, your physical body won't operate optimally which in turn affects your mental and emotional health. With that foundation in place you can expand your self-care in ways that feed you on many levels and motivate you to be an advocate for yourself and your well-being.
Following are some of my favorite ways to broaden and deepen your self-care plan:
- Have realistic expectations of what it possible. You only have 24 hours in a day and you only have a portion of that time in which you have access to good brain power. Be realistic about what you can accomplish in that time. Otherwise, you set yourself up to constantly fall short of your expectations.
- Make time to refuel. Pausing to take a break, relaxing and having fun are essential to refill your gas tank. Disengaging from work and deliberately stopping to rest your body and brain will make it possible for you to maintain good health, good relationships, access creativity, and work more efficiently and effectively. Running on empty for the sake of feeling in control of your "to do" list over time will make it impossible to be your best self. It will make all aspects of your life more difficult.
- Control what you can. You can control your behavior, thoughts and attitudes, but you cannot control others. Trying to change the behavior of others is an exercise in futility that causes stress, angst and conflict in yourself and your relationships.
- Look for the good, the positive in yourself, every person and every situation. With a commitment to a positive focus, you empower yourself to be part of solutions, not problems. Real change is only possible in the presence of positive emotional attractors.
- Stop negative self-talk, the critical voice in your head. Negative thoughts pollute your thinking and make emotion management difficult. Replace them with curiosity about your behavior and appreciation of your strengths. Curiosity leads to self-awareness and the possibility of making different choices. Criticism keeps you small, ashamed and disempowered. Curiosity about your behavior and acknowledgement of your strengths lay the foundation for positive change.
- Spend time with supportive, like-minded positive people. Their energy affects your energy.
- Seek support from other people and groups when you feel overwhelmed, lost or off track from your positive focus and your goals.
- Avoid spending much time in the presence of people who are toxic and negatively focused. Their energy affects your energy.
- Maintain healthy boundaries. When a person has healthy boundaries they make careful choices about the commitments they make, taking into consideration their time, interests and availability. They know they cannot be all things to all people. They know how to say no to tasks that aren't theirs to do and tasks they don't want to do. People with healthy boundaries let other people solve their own problems. They offer support, but don't take the problems of others as their own to fix.
- Make decisions that take your needs into consideration. Be sure to include yourself in the equation. Consider what is best for you given your current reality, commitments, interests, and values. This is especially difficult for women who have been culturally programmed to put the needs of others before their own needs. Is it any wonder that many women are so tired, angry and resentful? Those are the consequences of not insuring that your own needs are met on a regular basis.
- Maintain an organized home and/or office. The condition of your living and working spaces affects your energy, your ability to think clearly, your attitude and your productivity. Clutter creates negative energy and distractions that block good decision-making, getting things done, and maintaining a positive focus and good attitude. It engenders feelings of overwhelm, fatigue and hopelessness.
- Develop a positive practice, an activity that feeds you with positive feelings and inspiration that helps you stay grounded and centered in the positive. This could include yoga, meditation, journaling, spend in nature, daily spiritual reading, Tai Chi, walking your dogs, getting massages.
I could go on and on. There are so many possibilities for self-care. I'd love to hear about some of your favorite ways to take care of yourself. There is no absolute right way to do self-care. I liken it to a construction project, one that is on-going. Have fun assembling the pieces of your self-care plan! It's a prerequisite to good health, good relationships and a good life!

Question about SanDisk 2GB Cruzer Micro SDCZ62048A10 Hard Drive
I cant use my pen drive cause eveytime i open it, it appears " pls insert a disk into drive f" and if i will reformat" there is no disk in drive F", i got this when i save my files and appears like this after i did it all my file was deleted and i cant found it,, pls help for my prob pls..
Posted by westsyde28 on
same problem, any solutions????
I put the usb drive into the usb port on my PC and when I click on the U3 Icon in "my Computer" it says "in order to run the U3 Launchpad the U3 smart drive will be momentarily disconnected from your PC and then connected again. It's recommended that you save and close any files open from the U3 smart drive." Then it opens a file folder named "Application Data\U3\0000162152711808". It used to open the login screen for the drive.
If you have an answer please e-mail me at email@example.com Thank you so much.
OK you have to understand what I'm saying here. The problem is that the password prompt does not show up. Instead it opens an empty folder from within the USB drive. It has to be something with my computer because it works fine on other computers.
If you are using Sandisk USB Drives, it may be that partition is password protected. If you can run the U3 Launchpad, it should prompt you for a password for you to access your "Drive F". Put in your password, and Drive F should be accessible.

text: recent article on MSN is saying people should wait til age 70 to collect SS. their example showed that you would get 3500 a month at 70 compared to 1950 a month at age 62. first, by waiting 8 years it seems like it would be worth it but do the math. it would take approx. 11 years to break even. in 8 years you would collect about 200,000 dollars. you would be 81 or 82 before you would start getting ahead. I would rather collect that 2000 a month at 62 and invest most or all of it myself in a tax free IRA till I was 70 instead of letting Uncle Sam do it. that 2 grand a month invested that way would grow to around 275,000 to 300,000 dollars in 8 years under normal ( 40 year average) market conditions. Social Security may not be viable if you waited anyway. Im taking my benefit as soon as I am eligible.

After the "Add Early VRP" GCC trunk commit r240291 (Kugan CC for your information), I've been observing all kinds of OpenACC offloading failures. I now figured out what's going on.
AdvertisingThe "evrp" pass uses basic_block's BB_VISITED flag. It first clears these all, gcc/tree-vrp.c:execute_early_vrp: FOR_EACH_BB_FN (bb, cfun) { bb->flags &= ~BB_VISITED; ..., then does its processing, and at the end, clears these again: FOR_EACH_BB_FN (bb, cfun) bb->flags &= ~BB_VISITED; I note that this looks slightly different from what gcc/cfg.c:clear_bb_flags whould be doing, which works from ENTRY_BLOCK_PTR_FOR_FN onwards:
So maybe it should just call clear_bb_flags instead of doing the loop itself? Ok if that works.

Buckeye Mini Mop Jig
When you want a smaller profile the Buckeye Lures Mini Mop Jig is the obvious choice. Its tied the same way as the original Buckeye Mop Jig, providing its characteristic mop-like profile, except it actually uses a thinner diameter living rubber skirt in place of the heavy rubber used for the original. The thinner rubber helps accelerate the fall of the jig, and provides it with a smaller, finesse profile perfect for finicky bass, or spotted and smallmouth bass. Available in a range of proven color combinations, the Buckeye Mini Mop Jig also uses a light wire flipping hook for better penetration with lighter tackle, and even comes equipped with rattles for additional fish attraction.

The Tennessee watershed is one of Georgia's 14 major watersheds. The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through North Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. North of that physiographic feature, Georgia creeks, such as Lookout and Chickamauga, and rivers, including the Toccoa, Nottely-Hiawassee, and Little Tennessee, flow north to eventually become part of the Tennessee River. The Tennessee merges with the Ohio, and the Ohio with the Mississippi, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans.

The Tennessee Watershed System
The Tennessee River begins above Knoxville, Tennessee, at the junction of the French Broad and Holston rivers. Its tributaries reach throughout the entire Tennessee River Valley and include Georgia's Lookout Creek, Chickamauga Creek, Toccoa, Nottely-Hiawassee and Little Tennessee rivers. From its beginning, the Tennessee flows 652 miles, including stops at nine dams, through Tennessee, Alabama, Tennessee (again) and Kentucky and merges with the Ohio River at Paducah, Kentucky. Between Knoxville and Paducah, the Tennessee drops a total of 513 feet in elevation. The nine dams allow river barges and recreational boats to "climb" up and down a "staircase" of quiet pooled water and controlled current – a continuous series of reservoirs that stretches the entire length of the Tennessee River. From Paducah, the Ohio flows into the Mississippi at Cairo, Illinois. The Mississippi, carrying water from the creeks and rivers of the North Georgia Mountains, then flows south to empty into the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans.
How the Tennessee River Got Its Name
Tennessee was the name of a number of Cherokee towns in present-day Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. The meaning of the word is unknown.
Tennessee Watershed Experiences
Listed below are locations where you can see or experience the Tennessee watershed in Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina.
Black Rock Mountain State Park
Named for its sheer cliffs of dark crystalline rock (biotite gneiss), Black Rock Mountain State Park encompasses some of the most scenic landscape in Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains. At an altitude of 3,640 feet, it is the highest state park in Georgia. Numerous scenic overlooks provide 80-mile vistas of the southern Appalachians and several hiking trails afford close-up views of wildflowers, streams and forests.
The Tennessee Watershed Connection: Black Rock Mountain State Park is on the Eastern Continental Divide. As a result, rain that falls on the north side of the mountain flows into the Gulf of Mexico and rainfall on the south side of the mountain flows into the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, Black Rock Mountain is a "triple divide," meaning that rainfall on the mountain flows into each of Rabun County's three rivers: the Little Tennessee, the Tallulah and the Chattooga. Water flowing into the Little Tennessee River flows north out of Rabun County, through North Carolina and into Tennessee where it merges with the Tennessee River near Lenoir City. From there, the Tennessee River flows south to Chattanooga, west through Alabama, north through Tennessee (again) and into Kentucky where it joins the Ohio River at Paducah. The Ohio flows into the Mississippi at Cairo, Illinois. From there, the Mississippi runs south to empty into the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans. On the south side of the mountain, the Tallulah and Chattooga rivers join to form the Tugaloo River, which, along with South Carolina's Seneca, is a principal tributary of the Savannah River. The Savannah forms the Georgia-South Carolina border until it empties into the Atlantic Ocean just east of the city of Savannah.
Located on the western edge of Lookout Mountain, Cloudland Canyon is one of the most scenic parks in Georgia with its rugged geology and beautiful vistas. The park straddles a deep gorge cut into the mountain by Sitton Gulch Creek and elevation differs from 800 to 1,980 feet. The most spectacular view into the canyon is found in the picnic area parking lot; however, additional views can be found along the rim trail. Hardy visitors who hike to the bottom of the gorge find two waterfalls cascading over layers of sandstone and shale into pools below.
The Tennessee Watershed Connection: Sitton Gulch Creek and Daniel Creek, both of which flow through the park, channel water from the park's steep cliffs into Lookout Creek, which flows north to join the Tennessee River near Chattanooga. From Chattanooga the Tennessee flows west through Alabama, north through Tennessee and into Kentucky, where it merges with the Ohio River at Paducah. The Ohio flows into the Mississippi at Cairo, Illinois. From there, the Mississippi runs south, carrying water from Cloudland Canyon into the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans.
One of Georgia's oldest and most popular state parks, Vogel is located at the base of Blood Mountain in the Chattahoochee National Forest. Driving from the south, visitors pass through Neels Gap, a beautiful mountain pass near Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia. Vogel is particularly popular during the fall when the Blue Ridge Mountains transform into a rolling blanket of red, yellow and gold leaves. Cottages, campsites and primitive backpacking sites provide a range of overnight accommodations.
The Tennessee Watershed Connection: Vogel is at the base of the north side of Blood Mountain. Rainfall on the park flows north into the Tennessee River system and eventually into the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans via the Tennessee, Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Rainfall on the south side of Blood Mountain also reaches the Gulf of Mexico, but via the Chattahoochee and Apalachicola Rivers.
Positioned as it is, high above Chattanooga and looking down on the Tennessee River's twisting Moccasin Bend, Point Park provides one of the Southeast's great river views. The scenic route to the overlook, Georgia Highway 157 along Lookout Mountain in the northwest corner of Georgia, also provides some dramatic views and surprising insights into Georgia's river systems. The streams flowing off the west side of Lookout Mountain flow into Lookout Creek, a creek which flows north to merge with the Tennessee River near Chattanooga.
The main attraction at this freshwater aquarium is the Tennessee River from its beginnings in the mountains of Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia to its convergence with the Ohio River near Paducah, Kentucky and eventual journey to the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi. Other major rivers of the world also receive plenty of attention. Visitors may walk through a spectacular 60-foot canyon and two living forests where they can view over 9,000 animals that swim, fly and crawl in natural habitats.
The Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, site of a long-term ecological research program, studies several watersheds, which drain into the Little Tennessee River, for the effects of logging and other forest management practices on water yields and quality. Roadside signs indicate the experimental areas and explain the experiments. Stop at the office to obtain a map of the area before beginning any exploration. The 14-mile driving tour takes approximately one hour. Tours are available for schools and other groups with advance notice. Directions: From Dillard, Georgia, go north on US 441 4.3 miles to Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory sign. Turn left and follow signs 2.9 miles to the parking lot.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
Normandy. It is derived from when the family having lived at Cairon in Calvados, which was in Normandy.
Carreaux Early Origins
Normandy (French: Normandie), the former Duchy of Normandy, where they held a family seat in the seigneurie of Cairon in Calvados, in the arrondissement of Caen, in the canton of Creully. Guillaume de Caron is the first on record, living in 1086 and Eudo, his father, is mentioned as living in Cairon at some unknown time before him. Cairon is 15 km southeast of Ryes.

Another 309 words (22 lines of text) covering the years 1166, 1460, 1475, 1497, 1521, 1541, 1599, 1600, 1603, 1605, 1664, 1666, 1672, 1673, 1774, 1775, 1784, 1810, 1813, and 1822 are included under the topic Early Carreaux History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Carreaux Spelling Variations
Carreaux Spelling Variations
Changes of spelling have occurred in most surnames. The earliest explanation is that during the early development of the French language, names were not yet fixed in spelling. Usually a person gave his version of his name, phonetically, to a scribe, a priest, or a recorder. This depended on accent, and local accents frequently changed the spelling of a name. Some variables were adopted by different branches of the family name. Hence, there are some spelling variations of the name Carreaux, including Caron, Cairon, Carron, Carone, Caronne, Carot, Caraud, Careau, Carreau, Carow, Carou, Carrou, Carous, Carrous, Caroux, Charon, Charron, Charone, Charonne, Charou, Charous, Charoux, Le Caron, Lecaron, Lecharon and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
French settlers came early to North American, following in the wake of the explorers, and creating New France. Quebec City, founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain is said to have been the first American site founded as a permanent settlement, rather than as just a commercial outpost. But emigration was slow, in 1643, 109 years after the first landings by Cartier, there were only about 300 French people in Quebec, and by 1663, when the region was officially made The Royal Colony of New France, by Louis XIV, there still only around 500 settlers. Over 2,000 would arrive during the next decade. Early marriage was desperately encouraged amongst the immigrants. Youths of 18 took fourteen-year-old girls for their wives. The fur trade was developed and attracted immigrants, both noble and commoner from France. By 1675, there were around 7000 French in the colony, and by that same year the Acadian presence in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island had reached 500. In 1755, 10,000 French Acadians refused to take an oath of allegiance to England and were deported to Louisiana. Despite the loss of the Colony to England, the French people flourished in Lower Canada. Among settlers to North America of the Carreaux surname were Eric Charron, hockey player, Montreal Canadiens; Robert Caron, who settled on the Coast of Beaupré in Quebec in 1636; and married Marie Crevet in 1637.

I'm obsessed with sleeping. Seriously, I think I nap every day and Saturday night I slept 14 hours (I was jet lagged and still on Hawaii time, but still…)
Comfy bedding: My bedding is kind of velvet and heaven on earth. If you want to be coziest as possible, get yourself some amazing bedding.
Pillows: I have so many throw pillows and they make the bed look adorable, but also provide maximum comfort (yep, comfort is the key word in this post and you will read it many times.)
Books: I read every night to fall asleep, which is probably why I read like 3 books a week.
Scents: Wall plug-ins, room spray,candles, and sheet and pillow spray…perfection.
Pajamas & Lounge Wear: The best part is the PJ's. Get yourself a nice pair, or 5.
Blankets: I cuddle in my blanket whenever I'm in my bed, which is whenever I'm not at my house.
Cuddle up, get cozy, and good night!
