1997 Subaru Impreza wagon 2.5/2.2 hybrid
Located in Metro Detroit Area, MI. Cant edit title?
Selling my 1997 Subaru Impreza Wagon. $4000
New as of August this year:
-2.5 bottom end (now 2.5/2.2 hybrid) bottom end has roughly 150k on it, heads 220k.
-head gaskets
-valve cover gaskets
-clutch, throwout bearing and pilot bearing
-cam seals
-pcv block off plate resealed
-o rings for the oil pan and new pan sealant
-oil pump, timing belt, water pump
-front left axle
-replaced ALL bushings in shifter with OEM bushings and fatkat motorsports polyurathane bushings
-new polk speakers front and back. old but works perfect alpline head unit
-blizzak WS70 tires with 9/32" tread all around on WRX rims
Also to note, NO rust anywhere on the car. These cars rust in the rear quarter panels where it meets the rear bumper. This was a South Carolina car and there was NO rust when I got it and I have undercoated the fender wells with 4 cans 3 M undercoating. I was very careful to get the spots that rust but not get any on the exterior paint. I drive 65 miles roughly to work each day and there are no check engine lights and it drives great!
Asking 4k because I've got more into it, its pretty much maintenance free and its time for something new.
Before the snow tires and wrx rims:
Seat will be removed and stock seat put back in:
I listed it before, didnt get any interested and decided to keep it. Fixed a lot of the little things since then, same price.

The first few years in the workforce is tough for every professional, and it is also the best time to get ahead in your career and learn effective communication skills. We have seen so many professionals wait to take their development seriously, until they are ten or even twenty years into their career. But, Courtney Templin, President of JB Training Solutions, shares a few reasons you need to develop your skills ASAP in Money Magazine.
Courtney suggests setting monthly, quarterly, and yearly goals consistently. These will help keep you on track and your own development will never get pushed to the back-burner. Also, be upfront with clients, coworkers, and bosses about wanting feedback.

Can anyone help me with the designer/style/price of these shoes? Thanks a million!
I think the boots might be Chloe, they are probably around $600+, I'm clueless about the shoes.
The first one look like Miu Miu. The second definitely looks Chloe.
The boots are definitely Chloe.
Yep, they are the Chloe boots but from later 2005/06 so v hard for you to get hold of now
Yeah those Chloe boots I had and returned at Barneys - in 2005 dumb dumb!! . They were alot of boot and did run wide for my narrow feet and were worn slouchy which I thought my legs were to skinny. If then I only knew leggings and skinny jeans would come back . . .
They were impossible to get - the first ones had the tan heel. At the time they were worn by Nicole Ritchie and other celebs and Rachel Zoe was pictured in one of the mags with them. I only saw them at Barneys and Net a Porter and NM on line. They came in chocolate brown and black and maybe tan . . .
I never see anyone wearing them anymore though . . .
The boots really do look like Chloe....Pumps look like Prada to me...but you never know!
I love them both!!!!!
The boots are the Chloe Silverado as others have said, but not sure on the shoes. My guesses are Azzedine Alaia or Miu Miu.
Def Chloe
The first pair is Marc by Marc Jacobs.
Chlor booths on the right those are hot ^^ !!
no, the shoes arne't marc jacobs, as they have a tie at the toe. i had a pair of givenchy shoes that had that same tie idea, but i'm not sure if they made a versoin with chunky heel. Sorry.

Team Blue Lamp have completed the 2011 Virgin London Marathon!
PC David Rathband and his guide Steve White crossed the finish line in 6 hours 49 minutes.
PC Gareth Rees and his guide Robin Palmer stepped over after 6 hours 39 minutes.
This page will remain open, and we would be extremely grateful for any further donations you make.
In the early hours of 4th July 2010, PC David Rathband was shot from just 3ft away through the closed passenger window of his patrol car, sending hundreds of pieces of shrapnel into his face. A second shot hit him in the chest.
PC Rathband was rushed to hospital suffering from injuries that were so bad that no-one - including David himself - gave him much chance of survival. Amazingly, the surgeons were able to save his life, but they could not save his sight.
He is completely blind in both eyes with no hope of any sight ever being restored.
PC Rathband said "I now want what happened to me to be looked upon as a positive thing. Lets show the nicer side of human nature by supporting other personnel of the emergency services that have been criminally injured in the line of duty. I truly believe that together we can now make a difference and assist others in their time of need".
In December 2008, PC Gareth Rees was hit by a car travelling at about 50-55mph whilst dealing with a Road Traffic incident.
Despite undergoing six operations with more to come, and effectively walking on two broken legs with crutches, he has begun fundraising for PC David Rathband's Blue Lamp Foundation and has completed the 1st annual 3 mile friendship walk in David's home town.
He said: "I'm lucky to be here – I should have died on the roadside. We had that conversation that we both should have. We got very tearful talking last night.
"And Claire's been talking with Kath as they've been through similar things – the knock on the door in the night.
"We've got to look at the positives – my wife's pregnant and I've got time at home with the baby."
PC Rathband and Rees will be accompanied on the tarmac by Robin Palmer and Steve White, who will guide them along the course whilst completing it themselves in an attempt to boost funds for the charity.
This JustGiving page allows you to sponsor any of the four team members. They are all taking part for the same reasons and same cause.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it's the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and sponsor this fantastic four today.

If Vijender goes pro, it'll hurt Olympic preparations: Coach Gurbax Sandhu
The news of star boxer Vijender Singh possibly looking to end his India career and turn professional has not been well met by chief coach Gurbax Singh Sandhu
The news of star boxer Vijender Singh possibly looking to end his India career and turn professional has not been well met by chief coach Gurbax Singh Sandhu.
Vijender Singh and India coach Gurbax Singh Sandhu
Though Sandhu did not say that the Bhiwani boxer would be making a mistake if he does choose to turn pro as report in a British tabloid yesterday, he did say that the move would hamper India's preparations for next year's Rio Olympics.
"Look, I do not know what Vijender's plan is because he has not spoken to me about it (turning professional). But yes, if he does decide to do so, it will definitely affect our preparations for the Olympics," Sandhu told mid-day yesterday.
It's Vijender's call
"Viju is a senior athlete. He is a fine boxer and a very good human being. All the boys (boxers training at the national camp in Patiala) love him and look up to him as a mentor.
"But at the end of the day, only he knows what is best for his career and if he does make any such decision, I'm sure he would have put in a lot of thought into it. I can't stop him. For that matter, if any boxer chooses to turn professional, we (coaches) cannot stop him," added Sandhu.
According to a report in the Daily Mail yesterday, Vijender, who is currently training at London's Queensberry Promotions, a company owned by British promoter Warren Francis, has decided to turn professional and a formal announcement on this is due today.
The 29-year-old boxer won India its first ever Olympic medal (a bronze) in the sport at Beijing 2008. He also won medals at the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games and World Championships besides holding the No 1 ranking in the Middleweight division in 2009.
Last year, Vijender also gave acting a shot, but his debut film Fugly bombed at the box office.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This Build is all about Survivability and Tanking. With over 100 mana regen per 5 second and a fairly large mana pool, you're ulti can be turned on and stay on for long periods of time. Assuming you are not casting any skills, your level 18, with all the items, and you only have the ulti turned on the ulti will last for a VERY long time... by the time you left it on for 13 seconds you still have 3865 mp and if you run out.. use clarity which will add another 5 to 10 seconds of Ulti time. With 295 AP each bird will deal almost 160 damage per second. If you constantly have 3 enemies around you that means you will heal 240 HP per second. This will make you a tank that is even tankier than Vladimir, which is actually designed to be a tanky caster. The reason I didnt get boots is because you are using GHost for your escape AND the scepter's ability to slow will cause you to be able to slow everyone around you due to your Ulti AND Sunfire cape. Flash can be used instead of Clarity for initiation purposes.


text: I got the Palmer in coal...its gorgeous! Fits great, nice color etc. I did notice that where one of the straps connects to the top of the bag near the zipper (inside of the strap) that one of the stitches looks like it put a tiny hole in the leather....and of course the receipt says its a final sale. Do you think I should call them anyway? I can use the bag in its current state but do worry that with repeated use and moving the handle, it may cause the hole to get larger. And even though it was on sale, it still cost me almost $300, kwim

Central Bank Report Must Be 'Wake Up Call'
Deputy Michael Lowry has slammed the Government for failing to take action to tackle the continued lack of support for small and medium enterprises from the banks, as highlighted by a recent Central Bank Study.
The Independent T.D. for North Tipperary declared that the on-going lack of credit is crippling our businesses and resulting in closures daily and multiple job losses. Deputy Lowry explained that research from the Central Bank has proven the experience of countless businesses by confirming that Ireland is second only to Greece in the Eurozone for rejecting applications for SME loans and overdrafts. In this country one in four applications for a loan are rejected compared to one out of twenty eight in Germany. The study also indicated that Irish businesses are no longer even seeking credit where it is required as they believe the result will be a foregone conclusion.
Deputy Lowry explained;
"Time and time again we hear of enterprises being forced to close their doors as they continue to be put under pressure due to the poor domestic economy. When we open the papers or look at the news we are faced with a litany of closed businesses and lost jobs. As the days pass more of these businesses are being lost in rural towns and villages. The boarded up and closed shops in town centres are a sight that I'm sure are familiar to everyone. All too often these closures are not a reflection on the viability of the business but rather a reflection on the impossibility of continuing to trade in this challenging environment and the lack of support from banks or at governmental level."
"Our small and medium enterprises are being devastated by the lack of support and the severely limited availability of credit. As a business owner and whilst travelling through the constituency I am frequently told that the major obstacle facing these businesses is the difficulty in accessing short term credit. Many viable and valuable businesses simply need short term credit to tide them over during difficult times. Where this credit is not forthcoming these businesses are placed in an impossible predicament and many are forced to close, resulting in the loss of valuable local jobs."
"Businesses in Ireland are completely disillusioned with the banks and have come to a stage whereby they no longer see the point in applying for a loan, despite their need for credit, as they know it will be refused. Month on month, year on year they have been calling out for assistance and complaining of meeting a brick wall when approaching the banks. To add insult to injury the banks have been continuously pedalling the line that borrowing is continuing and they are there to assist businesses. This is not reflected in reality and not the experiences of small and medium enterprises, an experience which has now been proven by this central bank study."
"It is unacceptable that the Government has stood idly by whilst the bailed out banks have turned their banks on businesses. It is clear that that the market has failed to adequately provide credit to viable businesses and yet we have seen no intervention at Governmental level and a complete unwillingness to engage with this issue. The Government have now been handed irrefutable evidence of what businesses have been reporting. Lending is simply not happening to the required extent. It is time for the Government to ensure that banks return to the basics and re-engage with businesses to ensure that viable business receive the support they need. Banks need to be equipped to examine the viability of businesses and must take this into account in making a determination on a loan application."

"For Love of our country, work for peace and unity"
We, the Catholic Bishops of Kenya, meeting at the Bishop Stam Pastoral and Animation Centre, issues that concern all of us, for a peaceful and God loving Nation.
Aware that in the past press releases we have addressed you on a range of issues that affect us directly, we still feel the obligation to raise our voice and call to your attention on those that are of immediate concern. Grateful of the efforts that have been made so far and aware of the progress achieved in several areas, we are however fully conscious of the enormous task still ahead and the call for individual, collective and committed responsibility on the part of each Kenyan to join hands together and build a peaceful Kenya.
Kenya is a country that is blessed in so many ways. Despite the challenges the country has faced since independence, we are grateful that we have come this far. It is only fair that we pause to think of where we have come from and where we are going. Click KCCB PRESS RELEASE NOV 2016 to read full statement.

Limerick FC moved four points clear at the top of the Airtricity League First Division with two games to play thanks to a hard fought win over Athlone Town at Jackman Park.
The winning goal came barely five minutes from time and the visitors could count themselves unlucky not to eke out a share of the spoils.
It looked as if Waterford United in second place were going to be handed a lifeline as Athlone more than held their own, but the title is all but secured for the Shannonsiders now.
A Seán Brosnan strike was enough to see Limerick put one hand on the First Division trophy as the Blues scraped past Town.
The rain sodden conditions could probably be partly to blame for what had been a scrappy fixture where there were numerous chances but also bad finishing.
Until the goal eventually arrived, it was Town who had come closest to scoring when Mark Sherlock took aim and curled a beautiful effort towards the top corner from the edge of the box only to be denied by the woodwork shortly before half time.
When the goal eventually came it was thanks to Limerick's youth policy as Brosnan smashed the ball home from 12 yards out. The young Castleisland native miscontrolled at first with his right foot, but the ball fell kindly to his left and from there, he made no mistake. The goal led to pandemonium on the pitch and in the terraces as the home side held out to all put clinch their place in next season's Premier Division.
Waterford United did however maintain the pressure at the top and stay in the hunt for automatic promotion mathematically at least with a 2-1 win over Finn Harps at Ballyboofey.
A pair of majestic free-kicks from talisman Gary Dempsey ended Harps' ten-game unbeaten run.
The midfielder gave a master-class with two beauties right out of the top drawer either side of half-time and although Kevin McHugh responded for the home side just before the hour mark, the visitors held out for their fourth win in a row as they cut the gap on leaders Limerick to four points with two games remaining.
Meanwhile, Longford Town's hopes of challenging for promotion ended as they suffered a shock 1-2 home defeat to bottom of the table SD Galway at Flancare Park.
Eoin Curran put the visitors 2-0 up with a goal early in each half and although Alan Kirby responded with a goal midway through the second half, the Flancare men couldn't force an equalizer from a game where only a win would have kept their promotion hopes alive as they now lie five points behind (and with a significantly inferior goal difference to) second placed Waterford with two games to play.
Elsewhere, Mervue United played out a scoreless draw with Wexford Youths at Fahy's Field.

A dormer is a projecting structure, built outwards from a sloping roof; a dormer window (sometimes known just as a dormer) is the window within such a structure.
Dormers come in a variety of shapes: for example, a gable dormer; a hip roof dormer, an eyebrow dormer, an arched dormer. A turret dormer is a dormer built in the form of a turret (a small tower).

Guns N Roses #4
After showing the 5th best song ever by Guns N' Roses we move up to number 4 on the countdown. The 4th best all time song by GNR is a fast song that gets you in the mood to party. I have heard this song frequently at parties and in bars where everyone always wants to sing along.
Guns N' Roses have done so many songs and doing just 5 songs from this band is tough. I think there are no doubts you have to include this song in any list for the top 5 songs by GNR. For anyone having trouble getting started in the mornings, then just add this song in your car stereo and fire it up when you leave for work in the mornings. It will wake you up and prepare you for the day's work.

Canada Offers a Strong Business Package
Its continuing economic strength and competitive business environment have made Canada a leading choice for investment.
Location Canada 2011
A Vigorous Rebound
Canada, along with the majority of developed nations, suffered a major economic downturn over the past few years. But the strength of the country's banking system - combined with effective government policies - tempered the worst impacts, not just preventing the country from "going over the cliff" economically, but also helping it to maintain amazing equilibrium in the face of widespread financial chaos. Numerous studies confirm both Canada's continuing economic strength and its competitive business environment relative to other nations, not to mention its remarkable ability to bounce back quickly from a serious jolt.
According to Consensus Economics, an international economic survey company headquartered in the UK, Canada has been a top performer among the G7 countries in GDP growth since 2007, and is expected to remain so through 2012. From 2007 to 2010, the country led the G7 with 0.8 percent growth in GDP. The United States was second with 0.6 percent growth. The economic forecasting company projects Canada's rate of growth will climb to 2.6 percent for this year and next.
In the most recent World Competitiveness Yearbook, published in May 2010 by Switzerland-based business school IMD, Canada ranked seventh out of 58 countries studied with regard to its economic future. The publication, which measures countries against four competitiveness factors - economic performance, government efficiency, business efficiency, and infrastructure - singled out Canada for its sound banking regulations and extensive commodity resources.
Even the United States concedes that Canada has generally performed better than other countries, both leading up to and during the Great Recession. November 2010 figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor reveal that Canada enjoyed overall employment growth of 1.6 percent from 1999 to 2009, compared to only 1 percent for the United States and even lower rates for all other G7 members. According to the Bank of Canada, the nation is expected to return to full capacity and inflation to return to its 2 percent target by the third quarter of this year.
Strong Banks/Fiscally Responsible Government
As noted, Canada's strong banking system and efficient government are the two primary factors responsible for the country's current strong economic position. In fact, the Global Competitiveness Report 2010-11 from the World Economic Forum in Geneva ranks Canada first among 139 countries surveyed for the soundness of its banking system. The organization listed six of the nation's banks among the 50 safest banks in the world. In a related finding, the Milken Institute ranked Canada first in terms of access to capital in an April 2010 index. Canada has also enjoyed 11 consecutive annual federal budget surpluses from the mid-1990s through 2008. Though it ran deficits in 2009 and 2010, the amounts were relatively small, especially in comparison to U.S. deficits. A new report prepared by the government's Invest in Canada bureau attributes the deficits to the creation of one of the largest stimulus packages among developed economies during the recent global economic downturn. The report projects that the country's net debt-to-GDP ratio will not only remain the lowest in the G7 by a wide margin over the next few years, but will also return to a surplus following the 2014-15 fiscal year.
Real Estate Investment Increases
Given the strength of its banking system and its government's sense of fiscal responsibility, it's not surprising that Canada's real estate investment market underwent a dramatic turnaround last year. A report from CB Richard Ellis shows that every market except one saw volume increases in 2010, with the Toronto market experiencing a staggering 93 percent jump. According to the report, a stronger economy and surging investor confidence triggered a 48 percent increase in total Canadian commercial real estate investment volume to $18.9 billion. But while the 2010 results are impressive, the current year appears likely to be even better.
In 2011, "we expect the real recovery in underlying fundamentals to begin," says Mark Rose, CEO of Toronto-based Avison Young, Canada's largest independent real estate services company. "What we see for 2011 is multinational corporations and other major occupiers of space strengthening their core businesses and beginning to execute on long-term growth plans. As corporate decision-making gathers steam, activity will follow, and.vacancies will start to drop and rental rates will begin to rise."
Historically, Rose notes, Canadian markets tended to lag U.S. recovery by a year. But this time around Canada has taken the lead, with Canadian trophy assets back to 2006-07 levels by fall 2009, a year ahead of its neighbor to the south. In Young's estimation, Canada will continue to see the orderly flow of capital to real estate throughout 2011.
"Interest rates are low, values are compelling, distressed selling is almost nonexistent, and trophy assets are being aggressively fought over as they become available," he states. "There is no panic - there is patience. There is capital and it flows to what 'can be bought' rather than pushing the markets out of equilibrium and forcing cap rates lower and values higher."
Sam Chandan, global chief economist and executive vice president for New York-based Real Capital Analytics, adds that Canadian commercial property and development sites in Canada currently trade at lower price points relative to their long-term cash flow, especially compared to the U.S. and other advanced economies.
More Advantages
Canada's value as an investment market goes far beyond its ability to rebound from recession. While the country has a comparatively high personal income tax rate, as a result of corporate income tax reductions introduced since 2006, Canada had the lowest overall tax rate on new business investment in the G7 in 2010 and will have the lowest statutory corporate tax rate by 2012. In addition, the country offers one of the most favorable tax treatments for R&D among the G7, ranking second only to France.
Jones Lang LaSalle's Becker lists several additional factors that make Canada extremely attractive for business investment, including continued growth and immigration into the major cities; a broad-based, flexible, and highly skilled labor pool; and a superior education system that enables virtually all qualified candidates to obtain affordable high-level academic or technical training.
Still, Canada's most attractive asset, maintains Phil Dowd, a senior vice president in the Toronto office of Jones Lang LaSalle, is its stability. "We have a very solid financial structure and top-notch physical infrastructure," he says. "It's highly predictable in terms of business planning. We don't drop unexpected surprises. In addition, we offer a very high quality of life. Combined with a dependable labor force and quality education, it makes for a very strong business package."

Are you as obsessed with fashion illustration? I am stalking hundreds of talented artists on Instagram, but there is one girl that really stands out amongst them all. From the backstage of New York Fashion Week to street style icons and celebrities, sketches by a New York based illustrator Emily Brickel are always brilliant and chic. I am very excited to have Emily as the Red Lipstick Club guest as she shares her personal style, beauty, and career tips.
When did you discover that fashion illustration was your passion? What inspired you to pursue a career in fashion illustration?
I learned how to draw from an early age and always had an affinity towards fashion, so fashion illustration was a natural extension. I was designing clothing on paper when I was really little, but I never knew that fashion illustration could be a career. I used to look at Papyrus cards with drawings on them and be like, "Wow, I can't believe someone actually gets paid to draw this–that's amazing!" It seemed like (and it is) the best job in the world.
I was always designing fashion, which is really the same thing, but the next step was creating a garment, as opposed to selling the artwork. One day I was really frustrated, because it seemed as though my first fashion line was not selling like I wanted it to. I was having a creative block and my mentor told me to just draw something, to draw anything. So I drew her as a thank you for helping me and she ended up loving the illustration so much, that she made it her CD album cover.
Low and behold my mentor was Gabrielle Bernstein, the New York Times best-selling author and she said to me, "Girl, we gotta put you to work." I started getting noticed by word of mouth and it was then that I realized I could actually build a career with fashion illustration.
What are your main influences and inspirations in your work?
My main influences are things that feel like effortless glamour, from people on the street, vintage photographs to fashion editorials. I just love being inspired by the female body, gorgeous clothes and accessories, because my brain is always thinking of what would be flattering to wear, what would make me feel amazing, what do I want in my closet right now. I think when creating a fashion illustration, it's super important to remember that it's all about how you make people feel and bringing to life something that is only on paper.
It's not that I have a specific muse, but more so about the feeling of an image that captures me. I am constantly in search of inspiration. I get inspired by different things daily. A lot of my inspiration comes from fashion bloggers' photos, Pinterest or other websites, photographers and artists like Tommy Ton, TheCoveteur.com, Megan Hess, Izak Zenou and Jordi Labanda.
How's your average day look like? How does it differ from a Fashion Week schedule?
Every day is different and I love that. Usually, at some point in the day I will be working on custom illustrations, talking to clients for direction and feedback on their projects, coming up with new marketing strategies and promotions for Chic Sketch, blogging, sketching and illustrating. I also spend a lot of time looking in stores, online, or at street style to find inspiration for my illustrations.
During Fashion Week though, I run on a completely different schedule from my average workday. Starting early in the morning I show up ready for all the craziness that is about to ensue, I thrive on the buzz in the air created by the excitement of the shows. Fashion shows are just about my favorite thing in the world. Backstage I capture the excitement and process of getting the models dressed and ready for the shows. I do quick fashion sketches of the models and try to get the details of all the garments. After a day of shows are over, I head back to the office to polish up some of the sketches from the day, scan them in, post on social media, blog about it, catch up on my work like private commissions, emails, phone calls and responding to any inquiries. Fashion Week is the craziest week, but it generates so much inspiration for me for months to come!
Who are the celebrities you have worked with? What did you like the most about this experience?
In the past I have done commissioned drawings for celebrities including Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, and New York Times best-selling author, Gabrielle Bernstein. I have also worked with Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga doing creative direction for Appetizer Mobile, working to create the look and feel of their apps. They all were super comfortable expressing who they were through their clothes and poses, and that made for some really amazing results. Celebs often get bad wraps, but I really love working with them, because a lot of the time they have a really creative and out of the box view on how they want to be portrayed.
What are some of the perks of your job? What are the challenges?
I would definitely say that fashion and drawing are two of my favorite things, so working as a fashion illustrator is pretty much a dream come true. Looking at fashion websites, attending events and fashion shows, as well as getting gifted beautiful fashion and accessories are huge perks of the job. Also, since launching Chic Sketch, I work in collaboration with my husband a lot more, so I get to spend time with him both at home and at work.
For the challenges, when I work at runway shows, it can get a bit hectic, but it's the best kind of hectic. I'll be holding my marker kit and paper pad, standing backstage in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the fashion shows, and sometimes I only have a few seconds to capture the look of the models, but at the end of the day I feel like the pressure helps me do some of my best work.
What are some of your most favorite projects you worked on and why?
One of my favorite projects was a larger-than-life size fashion illustration of a couple shopping that is the front window display at Bene Rialto, a new and chic retail shop that is right off 5th Ave. I love the team there and it was amazing to follow in the footsteps of one of my fashion illustration idols Izak Zenou, the famed fashion illustrator whose work is all over Henri Bendel. Another favorite project was co-creating Chic Sketch with my husband Jordan Edelson. It was really exciting to create this app where we can take fashion sketches to the masses.
What advice would you offer to those wanting to begin a career in fashion illustration?
I would say just start drawing and get your illustrations out there on social media. There are so many opportunities for your work to go viral and you just have to create the content. People will start noticing.
How can you describe your personal style? What's your signature look?
Hmm… that's such a tough question! I absolutely adore all things fashion, so categorizing my personal style feels almost impossible. If I had to come up with something though, I would say that my look is minimal, timeless, feminine and chic. I tend to gravitate towards figure-flattering silhouettes – often in black, white or nude – and then turn up the chic by accessorizing with fun shoes, bags, and statement jewelry pieces. I think it's important to be aware of new trends and styles, but to always dress for your body and personality. It's always better to go with what makes you feel great than to just go with what's hot.
Emily shops at… Saks Fifth Avenue, Bene Rialto, ASOS, Revolve Clothing, Zara, Necessary Clothing and anything online (it's addicting).
Emily's favorite designers of…
Dresses: Elie Saab, Giambattista Valli, Philipp Plein, Diane Von Furstenberg, BCBGMAXAZRIA, and ASOS.
Shoes: Christian Louboutin, Valentino, Brian Atwood, and Saint Laurent.
Outerwear: Chloe, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Zara, and Andrew Marc.
Jewelry: I love anything with an evil eye from Europe, also Swarovski, Michael Kors, Jennifer Fisher, Chloe and Isabel.
Handbags: Chanel, Balenciaga, and Edie Parker.

What is your skincare routine?
I wash my face with Alba Botanicals and Vichy Purete Thermale. It's a cleansing milk, toner and makeup remover in one. I try to vary it up depending on how my skin is behaving. I love Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser with salicylic acid and Jack Black Energizing Face Buff Scrub with vitamin c & menthol. It's actually a men's product but I love the smell and how deep it cleans. Two to three times a week I put on a mask of organic honey for 20 minutes and I swear it is the best skin discovery I ever made. I did this right before my wedding for three months and I had the smoothest skin I ever had in my life. For moisturizer I apply a variation of Vichy Liftactiv Retinol HA Concentrate or day cream. They are pricy but work wonders. I also love Dior Hydra Life Pro-Youth Protective Crème with sunscreen, but my must have product is unrefined virgin coconut oil that I slather on my face, neck and hands every night before bed. My husband hates it, but it works wonders.
What's your favorite shade of lipstick?
MAC lipstick in Faux and Milani Lipstick in Nude Crème #26, it's a drugstore find and I love the smell. I wear it with lip liner by Jordana in Tawny.
What are your five go-to beauty products and why?
I would say, Maybelline Fit Me foundation and concealer, any black gel eyeliner, Rimmel Volume Accelerator Mascara and Nars bronzer/ blush duo in Orgasm and Laguna. I can't forget the Urban Decay Naked 3 eye shadow palette — it can create any look from day to night and always looks amazing.
How did you come out with the idea of Chic Sketch app and how long did it take to make this idea happen?
Chic Sketch is an app that turns your latest look into a custom fashion sketch that's obsessively instagramable. Jordan has always supported my work and me, and he began coming to the fashion events like trunk shows and launch parties that I got booked to live illustrate at. Seeing my work and the reactions people had to the sketches I was doing of them, he thought that we had to make an app that got my sketches out to the masses, and thus Chic Sketch was born. Chic Sketch would give access to fashion sketches to anyone with a smartphone, not just fashion insiders. Since we wanted to make sure the app was ready and launched by fashion week of February 2015, the team at Appetizer Mobile and I fast tracked and prioritized this app and had it ready in about three months.
How exactly does Chic Sketch work? Who actually draws the illustration and how long does it take to receive your order?
With Chic Sketch, users upload pictures of themselves to the app, and for just under $10 per sketch, Chic Sketch artists quickly sketch the pictures into a highly stylized fashion sketch. These custom drawings are returned to the user typically within a few hours, depending on the number of people who have placed orders ahead of them. I am the lead fashion illustrator, but we also have a team of 3-4 super talented artists personally vetted by me, who create the amazing sketches for the app.
What are some of the tips on how to pose for the perfect fashion sketch?
When I am illustrating for a client I always encourage them to be natural and pose how they want to be drawn, so in that sense there really isn't a "perfect pose." I think that my job is a lot about making people feel comfortable and capturing their spirit, so I really love it when a guest showcases their personality with a fun pose. As an illustrator, the most frequent request I get is to make my clients look thinner, so I always do my best to slim and elongate. For Chic Sketch, the best image to submit would probably be a full-length body shot, so our artists can capture the whole fashion look from head to toe, but our artists can turn just about any picture into a beautiful custom sketch.

A/N: Hey! This is just an idea I had floating around in my head…. First story, new writer. I'm going to continue this even if no one reviews, because I enjoy writing that much But, I'll try to update regularly, but school is tough right now…. Now for the story!
Chapter 1: A peaceful day
It was an ordinary day at the titans tower….. or so it seemed. It was around lunch, and Cyborg wanted to make it special, for whatever reason. So, normally, Cyborg and Beast Boy were arguing about the normal stuff; tofu vs. meat, and it was getting pretty heated.
"Yo! You can't tell me what I eat!" Cyborg yelled.
"I'm not telling you what to eat, dude! I just wanted to let you know how the animals feel, and to think about it for once…"
"I love meat too much to do that, BB! You know that!"
Then Robin stepped in. "Guys," he said "Calm down. Cyborg can eat meat, Beast Boy can eat his tofu, Starfire can eat her Tamaranean food, keep your opinions to yourself."
"Oh yes, dear friends, I most agree with Robin! Please, do not do anymore of the fighting."
Beast Boy and Cyborg looked at each other and nodded. "Okay… Sorry." They both muttered.
So, they continued cooking, Robin was watching CSI, and Starfire was petting Silkie. Then, Starfire spoke up, "Where is friend Raven? I have not seen her at all today."
"That's a good question, Star." Said Robin, glancing at her.
"She's probably in her room." Suggested Cyborg.
"Or on the roof" added Beast Boy, not looking up from his tofu.
"I shall go get her, friends! She must greet the day!"
"Yeah, sure, Star…." They all mumbled.
Starfire was kind of upset with her friends' lack of worry or enthusiasm for Raven. She continued silently gliding don the corridor to ravens room. She finally got there, but didn't need to knock at all.
"Yes, Starfire?" came Raven's monotone.
"Oh! Friend Raven! I was most worried when you did not greet the morning with the rest of our friends."
"You don't need to worry about me, Starfire. I was just really absorbed in this book. You can come in, if you like."
"Okay. I am entering now."
Starfire saw Raven sitting cross legged in the middle of her bed, her eyes now looking expectantly at Starfire.
"Friend Raven, perhaps you may like to take a, how you say, "break"? from your book, and say hello to our friends?"
Raven thought about it for a little bit. "Sure, Starfire. Just let me put this away, and I'll be out."
"Okay, friend Raven! That is most wonderful! I shall see you in a bit then!" And with that, Starfire was gone.
"I have to put this somewhere safe… In case someone *cough Beast Boy cough cough* tries to take a look at my room…the bookshelf? No, too obvious… the desk? No, he's been in there before…under my bed! He'll never look under there; he might think actual monsters are under there…perfect."
And with that, she left the room.
A/N: Sorry it's so short! I'm new to this site, so this was to see how it was going to work... But yeah, the next chapter will definately be longer.

The Advantages of Fluid Power
The use of hydraulics and pneumatics has become widespread due to the advantages a properly constructed fluid power system has in the transmission of power. Fluid power is energy transmitted by means of a pressurized fluid. The term fluid power applies to both hydraulics, as well as pneumatics. Hydraulics use pressurized liquids while pneumatics use compressed air or other natural gases. Fluid power technology is utilized extensively in an array of different industrial applications including aerospace construction, mobile equipment and power machinery. Fluid Power Systems eliminate the need for intricate systems of cams,gears and levers. Unlike mechanical parts, the fluids used are not subject to breakage or great wear and allow motion to be transferred easily without the inherent slack of solid machine parts.
The forces produced by a fluid power system are generated so rapidly that it allows the different parts of the system to be located at widely separated points with very little loss. With a very small loss in efficiency, these forces can be directed up and down or around corners. Systems can provide both rotating and straight-line power transmission that can be multiplied from a fraction of an ounce to hundreds of thousand pounds of output. Fluid power systems allow very large forces to be regulated by much smaller ones transmitted through openings and lines relatively smaller than those of solid machine parts. Fluid power systems can provide smooth, flexible, constant action without vibration. Additionally, they are quieter and generate less heat than electric actuators. Fluid power systems provide easy, accurate control. The user can easily start, stop, accelerate, decelerate, or reverse large forces with great accuracy. With fluid power, both analog and digital control is possible. One single hydraulic pump or air compressor can provide enough power and control for numerous machines when combined with fluid power manifolds and valves. The ability to provide constant force of torque is an attribute unique to fluid power. Unlike electric motors, air or hydraulic motors can produce large amounts of torque while operating at low speeds. Hydraulic and pneumatic motors can even maintain torque at a zero speed without overheating. By using accumulators to store energy, the hydraulic power unit only needs to provide slightly more than the average demand; this increases efficiencies for machines with varying load cycles.
Fluid power can also provide safety in hazardous environments. It can be used in mines, chemical plants, near explosives and in paint applications because it is inherently spark-free and can tolerate high temperatures. Fluid power systems also provide piece of mind, as an automatic release of pressure is guaranteed in the event of an overload. This ensures that the system is protected against strain or the possibility of a breakdown. The systems are economical as they are generally less expensive to build and operate.

Since I was three years old, October 15 has always been about my brother's birthday (Happy B'day Mark!) but this year, it's also about something bigger, more all encompassing (although, of course, no more important ;- )
I like to start my week with joy. Filling Mondays with precious inspiration helps the week start the best way possible. And what could be more inspirational this morning than joining in with a veritable multitude of voices to write about the environment.
It's Blog Action Day.
What would happen if every blog published posts discussing the same issue, on the same day?
One issue. One day. Thousands of voices.
Today is that day. And the issue is the environment.
Joanna has been spearheading the project at Joyful Jubilant Learning – and her post today How Much Can We Learn In A Day – says so much. She talks about learning:
So as well as thinking about what we're going to write today – I wonder if we can look out for just how much we can learn. Maybe that'll be learning about:
- Finding the words to describe what the environment means to us
- Things that are happening close to where we live
- New research that's changing what's possible, our understanding of what can be done
- Other people who share similar ideas and interests, who are working in similar ways
- Images that move us to wonder – or to action
My contribution isn't about getting on my soapbox; nor is it a rant or rave. My contribution to blog action day is to showcase some of the beauty of this wide brown land I am proud to call home, all taken with my camera in the last couple of years. (Please, no using without asking me first:)

* Says there is no strategic logic to combination
* Deal would boost Carillion's international business
* Carillion considering its next move
* Companies have combined market value of 3 bln pounds
* Balfour half-year underlying pretax drops 53 pct (Adds investor comments, updates shares)
By Li-mei Hoang
LONDON, Aug 11 (Reuters) - British infrastructure company Balfour Beatty has rejected a second merger proposal from rival Carillion, saying it would pose significant risks to its business.
Lossmaking Balfour Beatty said on Monday there was no strategic logic to a combination other than to enhance the combined group's earnings, and the risks were significant.
Balfour has construction, engineering and facilities management services in over 80 countries. A tie-up would expand Carillion's international business and add breadth to its construction activities.
Carillion's approach, made public on July 24, followed a difficult 18 months for Balfour, which has issued a series of profit warnings and lost its chief executive in May.
Balfour broke off the talks a week after they emerged because Carillion insisted that Balfour cancel the planned sale of its U.S. unit Parsons Brinckerhoff and keep it in the merged company. [ID: nL6N0Q621R]
Carillion's revised proposal included a final dividend payment for Balfour shareholders and the covering of "appropriate costs" for Parsons Brinckerhoff bidders. Carillion also wants a deadline extension until Aug. 28 to make a formal bid.
"In our board's judgment, it wasn't a credible proposal that was going to fix all the risks for Balfour Beatty shareholders," Balfour Executive Chairman Steve Marshall told reporters.
"For example, if bidders (for Parsons Brinckerhoff) were not prepared to carry on and if the merger then didn't go through, Balfour Beatty is basically left with a failed merger transaction and damage to Parsons Brinckerhoff," he said.
Carillion said it would consider its position and make a statement in due course.
The companies have not disclosed financial terms of Carillion's proposal. They have a combined market capitalisation of 3 billion pounds ($5 billion).
Whitman Howard analyst Stephen Rawlinson called Balfour's decision to go it alone a "brave move", and that Carillion's management could have brought "great benefit" to Balfour.
He has a "sell" rating on Balfour shares and a "buy" on Carillion.
Balfour shares were up 2.8 percent at 244 pence by 1124 GMT.
Balfour announced the plan to sell Parsons Brinckerhoff in May. It acquired the business in 2009 for 636 million pounds but has said it failed to deliver significant benefits.
Besides its construction operations, Carillion maintains British railways, roads and military bases, partly under public-private partnership contracts. It has won a string of contracts in the past 18 months worth 10 billion pounds.
Carillion's shares have fallen 2.9 percent so far this year while Balfour's are down 18 percent - including a 6 percent fall since it revealed the merger talks.
Niall Dineen, portfolio manager at AGF International Advisors and a shareholder in both companies, said the cost savings would be significant for both firms and that Carillion's management may be better placed to manage the combined group.
"The whole idea of putting Balfour and Carillion together makes sense because there should be synergies that could come out of the deal. I know people had been talking about 200-300 million of synergies, which is quite a big number in the context of the two companies," he said.
Reporting results two days early on Monday, Balfour Beatty said it made a net loss in the six months to June 27, while underlying pretax profit fell 53 percent to 22 million pounds.
It was hit by a slump in its mechanical and electrical engineering division, which it already flagged in July, and said it was performing in line with its most recent trading update.
Marshall said the company's search for a new CEO was ongoing and it still aimed to return 200 million pounds to shareholders.
Balfour's shares are trading at a premium to Carillion's on a share price-to-earnings basis, partly on expectations of an eventual return to profit and the earnings potential of its private finance initiative deals with the state.
"If Balfour is prepared to walk away from the merger, where there are potential cost savings, they do really have to demonstrate the value in the business," said Howard Seymour, an analyst at Numis Securities. ($1 = 0.5960 British Pounds) (Additional reporting by Nishant Kumar and Sarah Young,; editing by Tom Pfeiffer)

Democrats and Republicans in both chambers will lay the groundwork Tuesday for 2014 election messaging on energy and climate issues at a pair of events in the House and the Senate.
In the House, the Energy and Commerce Energy and Power Subcommittee will put proposed Environmental Protection Agency rules on greenhouse gas emissions on trial when the GOP-led panel marks up a bill that would handcuff those regulations.
Meanwhile in the Senate, a handful of Democrats are ramping up the efforts of the Climate Action Task Force, an informal group that will focus on passing smaller climate measures and providing encouragement for the Obama administration to push ahead with more aggressive regulations.
The dichotomy points to the divide between the parties on what they consider to be the winning energy strategy in 2014.
Republicans see the rule on new power plants, along with a forthcoming one on existing facilities, as fitting into a broader narrative of regulatory overreach.
"If Democrats are of the belief that bankrupting coal and pushing heavy-handed regulation, that they think that's going to win them the middle, I say let them try," Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., a member of the Energy and Power panel, told the Washington Examiner.
Conservatives, some centrist Democrats from coal-dependent states and the industry argue that the EPA rules will raise the price of energy and make U.S. companies noncompetitive. They contend the rule for new power plants would effectively ban construction of coal-fired generation because the carbon capture and sequestration technology -- which traps emissions and pumps them underground -- that it requires is too expensive to install at industrial scale.
Republicans argue the rule for new power plants violates the Energy Policy Act of 2005 by basing the rule on facilities that have received federal subsidies. The bill in front of the Energy and Power Subcommittee on Tuesday would require the EPA to base its greenhouse gas rules for new plants on technology that has been in operation for one year and has not received federal subsidies.
Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-Ky., chairman of the subcommittee and sponsor of the legislation, said he understands that low natural gas prices have put plans to build coal-fired power plants on the back burner -- many generating units have shuttered because of utilities switching to cheaper natural gas and worry about the prospects of stricter regulations. But Whitfield said the Obama administration shouldn't effectively block the ability to do so in case natural gas prices rise in the future, he said.
"This president has really extreme views on the use of coal," he told the Washington Examiner, adding that he expects the full committee to pass his bill by the end of the month.
Whitfield said he wants his legislation, which Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., is sponsoring in the Senate, to be the first leg of a debate on the EPA regulations that he said have been foisted on the public. He said most Americans haven't paid close attention to the EPA issue -- though some conservative groups, such as the American Energy Alliance, are already wading into races to slam Democrats on it -- and that his committee would do whatever it could to raise the profile.
"More and more people are becoming aware of it. We would be derelict in our responsibilities if we did not do our best to overturn this regulation," he said.
But Democrats are counting on more people paying attention to climate change.
Despite the overwhelming scientific consensus that human activity — chiefly from burning fossil fuels — contributes to greenhouse gas emissions that warm the planet, Whitfield said the issue contains "many unanswered questions."
Whitfield's sentiment is one shared by many Republicans, and Democrats are looking to portray those lawmakers as out of touch with the scientific data.
That will first come in the form of the Climate Action Task Force, whose growing membership includes Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., chairwoman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md. The group will detail its plans for the year at a Tuesday news conference.
It has the backing of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who has agreed to give its members time to speak about climate change at weekly Democratic caucus lunches held every Tuesday, an Environment and Public Works aide told the Washington Examiner.
"The purpose is to use the bully pulpit of our Senate offices to achieve that wakeup call," Boxer told reporters last week, according to Reuters. "We believe that climate change is a catastrophe that's unfolding before our eyes and we want Congress to take off the blindfolds."
The odds of passing climate legislation, even in the Democratic-controlled Senate, are long. A handful of centrist Democrats — some of whom are up for reelection in 2014 — are unlikely to back such proposals.
Still, the discourse on climate change has elevated on the national stage since Hurricane Sandy ravaged the East Coast just before the 2012 election, putting the issue in the spotlight during a presidential contest in which green groups struggled in vain to get the topic in front of President Obama and GOP candidate Mitt Romney.
Building on that, Obama in June announced a sweeping agenda on climate in which he promised more aggressive regulations, expanded renewable energy generation on federal land and stricter energy-efficiency rules, among other measures.
One of the Climate Action Task Force's goals will be to provide cover for those efforts, which have faced strong criticism from Republicans and industry groups. On Thursday, Boxer's Senate committee will hold a hearing titled "Review of the President's Climate Action Plan," at which EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy will testify.
Democrats will get help from outside environmental groups, which are amassing war chests. The League of Conservation Voters, a green group that spent nearly $14 million in House and Senate races in 2012, plans to be active again this year. And Tom Steyer, the billionaire hedge fund manager and prominent Keystone XL oil sands pipeline foe, said his NextGen Climate Action PAC will look to oust climate-change skeptics.
"Yes, there's gridlock in Washington. But step outside the Beltway, and you hear the real conversation on climate change. In 2014, we're resolving to take that conversation to the next level and bring climate change to the forefront of America's political dialogue," Steyer wrote this month in a blog post for the Huffington Post.
