The Loft Disaster
As some of you might recall, 7 months ago, my husband and I moved into a loft in Kansas City. Now this wasn't a typical loft, it was a true, dare we say "rustic and as-is" artist space. It was 2,500+ sqft of awesomeness near an airport, a train yard and two freeways, but bucking up and being ok with the noise and spacial oddities made it all the more fantastic. That was until...
... the roof opened up, the leaks started pouring in, we had birds, bats, bugs, heat that literally almost melted our faces right off!
Its amazing the things you'll overlook when you first fall in love with a space. We knew going into the lease that it was an as-is space and there would be things to overcome. We were ok with all the noise, the brick that needed to be re-grouted (and got mortar on everything on a daily basis), the slanting, unsealed concrete floors and the 100% square space with only two walls closing off the bathroom in one corner, that was the biggest design challenge we've ever had. It was however, ridiculously well priced for it's square footage and allowed us to run power tools for art projects inside without problem. Plus, it didn't hurt that all utilities were paid and we could run the heat or ac as much as we wanted (although the circuits would only handle the one ac unit without blowing... nice right?).
We did some great projects in the space, such as putting up hanging wooden walls and installing 30' of curtains, for right at $40!
The second we signed the lease we started looking for renters insurance, from the looks of the building, we figured we'd need it and we were right! But because the building had been known for problems, 9 different insurance companies wanted close to $400 a month ( I wish I were kidding) to cover a small basic amount of items and not from any of the things we were worried about (the ceiling flying off and water damage).
So we did what most would do and asked the landlord to fix the leaks in the roof (we knew about two super small pin hole drips that didn't really effect us, but like I said, you can be willing to overlook a great deal for a great space!). He agreed and for the next several months we had "repair" crews in and out of our loft and on the roof (which drove our dogs crazy). The small leaks became worse and at one point in time, an unexpected rain left us floating in our own gear as water poured in like a water fall, right on top of our computer equipment. Plus, in the photo above of our bed and a ladder next to it, the ladder isn't for added rustic charm, it's because the roof access panel above it leaked and rained like a water fall on us while we slept one night. Extra awesome.
Our frustrations with being water logged, were still being outdone by our ability to craft and cook and seat 30 people at our dining table at one time (which sadly we never obtained a real picture of, but it was great!), we even had a 8' workbench in our kitchen! Once the heat of the summer started, temperatures inside our space, with the air conditioners on went up over 100, topping out at 115 during the times the sun was setting. Life was unbearable and so 7 small months after we had moved in... we moved out.
We packed it all back up, donated and thrifted what wouldn't fit into the new space we found and moved. Family and friends pitched in, we've never been one to hire a moving crew and it seemed like the boxes we had just broken down and saved, were all filled again and relocated.
Over this past week I've finally unpacked the last few boxes from the move and am ready to enjoy a little rest and relaxation. There were a few things we'd like to pass along to those who are interested in a rough artist loft. They look amazing in magazines, people ooh and ahh over them and wish they could live in a space like that, but there are things to look for before signing the lease. Here's what we wish we would have stuck to our guns on before all the crazy drama and drips from the ceiling started.
• Check for previous water damage: Even if your landlord says it's fixed, if it's dark, stained or obviously had damage in the past... run. Run for your life. We later learned that the nails used to secure a new roof that was laid weren't long enough and lifted right up and out, allowing the water to run under the tar and soaking all that we owned.
• Check For Renter's Insurance Availability: And make sure to do so prior to moving in. In a raw space, it may not be an option and you never know what will happen. It was a lesson learned the hard way. The extra plus double suck, hard way.
• Come Back Without Your Landlord and Ask Around: Wait in the parking lot if you have to. Usually the folk who live in artist spaces will be quite honest about the type of space they live in and the problems they face. If there are challenges, they'll usually be open and sharing about it, because 9/10 times it will be an annoyance and who doesn't like to share those?
• Check the Windows and Walls: We faced a great deal of climate change in our space and even though we didn't pay any utilities, the drafts that came in, be it hot or cold, made the space almost unlivable. We were unable to keep artwork from curling right up with humidity and even with the help of dehumidifiers, we still couldn't keep things safe. For us, our artwork is usually the most important pieces we own. Furniture may come and go (thanks to Craigslist and a strong DIY spirit), but our collection of original artwork is for the most part, priceless.
• Don't Sign A Big Lease: Many spaces will let you sign a 6mo lease now, even if it's a little extra, this is a great option if you want to try a space on for size. Another option would be to talk with your new landlord about options for vacating the space, if the "as-is" issues become significantly worse. Most will know the problems their building has and even though they won't always be upfront about it, are usually willing to work with you.
It was a long 7 months, there was a great deal of unpacking, repacking, Craigslisting of furniture and things being up in the air, but what we did learn is that life is too short to deal with things that make you unhappy. Even though our new place is 1/3 of the size of the old, it doesn't leak, smell like the neighbors ashtray, or shake in the wind during a storm.
Please forgive the lack of styled photos of our space, or the lack of photos in general, we spent most our time moving things away from water and drips and didn't get the chance to do a real tour of our space before leaving.

Also, is it free or does it come with membership?
it's free. you can find it on michigan rivals page. thanks monarch for providing the link
everyone should just tell him to come to Michigan because it is fun here and we like football
and no membership needed
Will someone post anything interesting, i.e, Michigan-related that he says?
Comment From SD MichiganFan
How does the fact that Michigan has 3 DL Coaches, along with former Ravens Defensive Coord. weigh into your feelings with Michigan?
SD MichiganFan: It really does ... because it's going to be a defensive-type of team and defense wins championships.
Question from Matt: Do you think you fit better in a 4-3 or 3-4? Or does it matter?
PeeWee's answer: It doesn't matter. As long as I draw a double team and my linebackers can flow to the ball easier, I think I can fit into any type of scheme.
If he wants linebackers that can flow to the ball tell him to check out our current LB class!
that is exactly what you want to hear from a DT. doesn't care about the glory, cares about how he can help the defense most. ie, the polar opposite of albert haynesworth. please let him go blue!
SD MichiganFan: It really does ... because it's going to be a defensive-type of team and defense wins championships.

Iavar: 56 .... because of Lamar Woodley
about to post the comment about Woodley and #56. That has to be a plus for us.
i feel somewhat conflicted here because on the one hand following a chat with a 16 year old kid is entirely creepy, but on the other hand i am pretty impressed at how michigan fans are just totally dominating the chat with thoughtful, considerate and non-creepy questions--and i'm also creeped kind of out by that.
damn you society and your high standards for acceptable behavior!
another great response from the 16-year-old kid in a totally not creepy way:
Skipinmich: Yes, Michigan and Michigan State
an awful lot of Michigan Wolverine names asking questions. I wonder if he's taken notice?
dtones520: Okay, Oregon is the best Uni, but who has the best helmet?
PeeWee: Michigan
He also mentioned that his favorite stadium was a tie between Michigan Stadium and Alabama's.
This is a really, really cool live thread. Thanks to everyone who posted in it, I feel well-informed.
I guess this is one thing that rivals does that other recruiting services don't. I would love for them to get other Michigan prospects.
If Woodley is his favorite player it would be awesome if Pipkins could visit during the Nebraska game. It's on the Steelers' bye week and hopefully Woodley would stop by for the game.
be a recruiting violation, i believe, for woodley to "recruit" him. a hello from him can't hurt though
From this answer:
I would guess that Ondre already knows Woodley, since Woodley is from Saginaw and that's where Ondre used to live.
Man, I can't imagine being 16 or 17 and garnering this type of attention AND being able to keep it all in perspective.
Ondre did a great job and I'd say we've got as good a shot as anybody.
Go Blue PeeWee....we got sweet helmets, the best stadium, family-first priorities, and all the double teams you could hope for.
Omdre is a well spoken kid, and a beast on the field. He would be a great addition to this class so hopefully we can land him.
His favorite player is Woodley, his favorite movie is 30 for 30 Fab 5, and he feels like Saginaw is home more than Missouri...yea, I think we have a shot.
I have to ask this and forgive me if it's completely stupid but how is this legal when contacting a kid on Facebook is not?
--Rivals is a major recruiting site and has been for years.
--The chat room probably has multiple mods screening comments and putting trolls in the penalty box.
--This is taking place in a public place, i.e. open Internet Q-and-A, and there have been announcements and a set time, etc. as part of the preparations.
The chat looked like it was well put together. The questions were good and he seems like a really mature kid for his age. PeeWee seems very Michigan oriented and I think we have a good shot to put him in a winged helmet, plus we have #56 reserved for the big boy on Defense....
I think he's going to start as a freshman, and if he stays healthy will be a first-rounder whenever he enters the draft.
I've only seen film on Washington and Jones, so I can't compare the three.
Aziz Shittu and Ondre Pipkins leading the Michigan line for years to come
I think Pipkins is the most important recruit for us from here on out. We seem to be in on a ton of good lineman so we can probably afford a miss there. We need DTs desperately and I think OP is the best of them and seems to like the idea of going to school in Michigan. Cant miss out on that guy! Also would love to get the Washington/Standford pair and fill two needs at once.
He hasn't even visited yet, although with his roots he's most likely been to AA for a game.
I think he goes blue, and I'd bet today's paycheck that Woodley is all over this.

Revision as of 17:47, March 26, 2005
Father John S. Romanides (1927 - 2001) was a prominent 20th century Orthodox Christian priest, theologian, and writer.
Fr. Romanides was ordained in 1951 while studying at Yale University Divinity School, and served at Holy Trinity Church in Waterbury, Connecticut, from 1951 till 1954. After finishing his studies at Yale he was transferred for the summer of 1954 to Holy Trinity Cathedral in New York City until he left for studies at St. Sergius Orthodox Theological School in Paris (1954-55). He did his doctoral work at the University of Athens from 1956 to 1957. He was appointed professor at Holy Cross, Brookline, Mass. where he taught between 1957 and 1965 while continuing his studies and research at the Harvard Divinity School and then at the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. All this time, between 1957 to 1968, he was also a parish priest. He was appointed to the parish of Newport, New Hampshire in 1958. Then in 1959 he was appointed the first priest of St. Athanasius The Great Orthodox Church in Arlington, Mass. which he helped found and organize. He resigned from Holy Cross in 1965 in protest over the removal of Father Georges Florovsky from the faculty by Archbishop Iacovos. Between 1965 and 1968 Father Romanides served as the pastor of Holy Apostles' Parish in Haverhill, Mass. He was professor of dogmatics at the University of Thessalonike from 1970 until his retirement in 1984. From 1970 on, he also taught at the University of Balamand in Lebanon. He continued to teach even after his retirement.
He also represented the Church of Greece as member of the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches and in the dialogues with the Lutherans and the Oriental Orthodox.
His legacy lives on through his more then 2,000 students, including many priests, monks, and at least 10 bishops.
Romanides argued for the existence of "national, cultural and even linguistic unity between East and West Romans" until the intrusion and takeover of the West Romans (the Roman Catholics) by the Franks (German tribes).
- Franks, Romans, Feudalism, and Doctrine: An Interplay Between Theology and Society (1982)
- Ancestral Sin (2002)
- An Outline of Orthodox Patristic Dogmatics (2004)
Some of the criticisms have been raised against:
- The Franks were among the earliest converts to the
Orthodox faith (well, so were the Burgundians, but they were absorbed by the Frankish kingdom), so they could hardly be accused of persecuting "Roman Catholics" (which is misleading terminology in itself at this period);
- Clovis himself converted to Orthodoxy, as did his Frankish
subjects. Indeed, the ecclesiastical hierarchy in Visigothic Gaul openly worked on behalf of Clovis, since the bishops preferred the Orthodox Franks to the heretical Arian Visigoths. Far from regarding Clovis as an anti-imperial barbarian, the Eastern Emperor Anastasius (reigned 491-519) granted Clovis the highest honors normally granted to distinguished senators in Constantinople -- the coveted ranks of consul and patrician in 508. As J.M. Wallace-Hadrill, no blind admirer of Clovis, put it in his *The Barbarian West* (N.Y.: Harper Torchbooks, 1962), page 74-75, "the Emperor had for some time been in touch with the Franks and was glad to recognize them, at the appropriate moment, as a counter-balance to Gothic power in the West." From this point on, the Eastern Empire and the Frankish Kingdom were usually allies pitted against the Arian barbarian kingdoms in the West. The Papacy too smiled on the Franks as protectors of the true faith, and called upon the later Carolingian dynasty to protect Rome from the Lombards when the Byzantine administration in central Italy collapsed in the early 8th century.
Relations began to sour when Pepin "the Short" handed what had been the Exarchate of Ravenna over to the Pope as the nucleus of the Papal States (at that time, the "Patrimony of St. Peter"). But as the Byzantines had lost that area to the Lombards, who in turn lost it to Pepin, it was his by right of conquest, and the Roman claims were admittedly weak. Later, Charlemagne had a brief border war with the Eastern Empire, but this was to force his fellow emperor in Constantinople to recognize Charlemagne's comparable position in the West.
- There never was any Carolingian "conspiracy" to overrun the
Eastern Empire. (This issue has been discussed at length on the Byzans-L listhost)
- Professor Romanides and his followers appear to confuse the Greek
usage of "Franks" -- which later writers applied indiscriminately to _all_ Western Latin Europeans, including Germans! -- with the original tribe that occupied Gaul. Yes, the sack of Constantinople in 1204, an event which almost everyone on this list deplores as one of the most short-sighted tragedies of history, was carried out by "Frankish" (i.e., French) minor nobility, but let's not forget the Venetians (Italians!) either. The Great Schism of 1054, which split the Latin and Greek churches apart, was carried out during the pontificate of Leo IX -- a German, not a "Frank." Professor Romanides, either through ignorance of Western history or perhaps because he has an axe to grind, has blamed the poor "Franks" of the Merovingian and Carolingian states for the excesses of later people who might not have recognized nor used that name.
Also, Justinian was issuing his *Novellae* in Greek, not Latin, throughout his reign, because Latin was becoming a forgotten language in the East, just as Greek was vanishing in the West -- which makes claims of a prevailing linguistic and cultural continuity questionable at best.

Hyundai Assurance Connected Care Offered Free for 3 Years
- Offering free 3-year Assurance Connected Care subscription
- Provides emergency services and allows drivers to schedule maintenance easily
- Included on all new Hyundai models with Blue Link telematics
Hyundai Assurance Connected Care, a suite of emergency and vehicle maintenance support services, is now included for three years at no charge on all new Hyundai vehicles equipped with Blue Link telematics. That's more than half of the new vehicles Hyundai sells.
Assurance Connected Care is similar to OnStar, a connected service offered on GM vehicles and arguably the gold standard for platforms that allow drivers to connect with a live operator. Like OnStar, Assurance Connected Care will automatically notify emergency services if an accident occurs. Drivers also can call for help with the push of a button in a non-crash situation, such as a medical emergency. And roadside assistance is improved with Assurance Connected Care, since responders can pinpoint a vehicle's location.
But Hyundai's service differs from their competitors' in key ways. First, it includes not only emergency services but also vehicle maintenance and care features. Assurance Connected Care creates monthly "vehicle health" reports, alerts the driver to problems such as a diagnostic trouble code or a recall and reminds the driver to perform recommended services.
When the vehicle does need service -- an oil change, for instance -- the driver can schedule it right from the vehicle, with the push of a button. Because the system is connected, the live operator who answers the call will already know important information, such as vehicle location and nearby dealers. With access to every Hyundai dealer's service department schedule, the operator can find the best time and location to make service convenient for Hyundai drivers.
Barry Ratzlaff, Hyundai's Director for Customer Connect, says the maintenance and service scheduling included with Hyundai Assurance Connected Care may be the program's best feature.
"Our whole strategy is to take care of things for our customers," Ratzlaff explained. "You think about service when you're in the car. We've made it super easy for Hyundai owners to schedule service from their vehicles."
Ratzlaff also remarked that more drivers are likely to use Assurance Connected Care's service features than its emergency ones.
"Of the nine services included, three are safety related," Ratzlaff said. "We hope you never have to use them. The other six features are there to make your life easier."
What it means to you: If you like the peace of mind of Assurance Connected Care's safety features or the convenience of its vehicle maintenance features, consider a new Hyundai equipped with Blue Link.

For too many years, the rising cost of health care has been ringing alarm bells for individuals, families, doctors, and governments at the local, state and national levels. For insurance companies, though, that trend has been less alarming than lucrative. Though the Affordable Care Act contains provisions designed to curb profits to insurers, rates are by no means going down because of the law. In some cases, they are soaring far beyond the pace of costs.
The New York Times reported Sunday that insurers are raising rates by around 20 percent in some areas, even though health care costs are anticipated to go up only 7.5 percent in 2013. Those most likely to be affected by the jump in premiums are small businesses and individuals who do not participate in group plans. Also, the rate increases vary by state, presumably linked to a corresponding variability in health-care costs.
What is missing from the equation is the disproportionate penalty individuals and small businesses will have to pay to keep themselves and their employees covered while insurance providers are making certain that they do not see any setbacks to their bottom lines. While provisions in the Affordable Care Act require that insurers gain government approval for rate increases, and that those increases not be inflated to secure profits beyond a certain point, there are other mechanisms at work that tilt the scales in insurers and some care providers favor. In Iowa, for instance, hospitals have merged to form a strong force capable of driving costs higher. Insurers follow suit by passing those increases on to consumers with a cushion.
It seems almost predatory to charge handsomely those most affected by rate increases individuals who pay a higher premium for not being able to participate in a group plan, or small businesses that struggle to provide coverage to their employees while levying smaller increases on larger group plan premiums.
Doing so can price the most vulnerable out of the insurance market and undermine the intent of the Affordable Care Act. And if the increases are predicated on protecting insurers bottom lines while not considering those of their customers, it is difficult to see the justification, particularly when the increases are not made consistently.
The Affordable Care Act does much good for health care in the United States, namely by expanding the pool of insured, but controlling costs directly and effectively is not its strongest prong.
Presumably, once most Americans are insured, a provision that goes into effect in 2014, there will be a corresponding decrease in the cost of coverage as risk is spread across a broader population. In the meantime, though, insurers are hedging their bets on the backs of those they purport to serve. It is not illegal, though it is hardly upstanding behavior.

The present state of the country, in regard to its supply of food, cannot be viewed without apprehension. Forethought and bold precaution may avert any serious evils; indecision and procrastination may produce a state of suffering which it is frightful to contemplate ...
Two evils require your consideration. One of these is the disease in the potatoes, affecting very seriously parts of England and Scotland, and committing fearful ravages in Ireland.
Another evil, however, under which we are suffering, is the fruit of Ministerial counsel and Parliamentary law. It is the direct consequence of an Act of Parliament, passed three years ago, on the recommendation of the present advisers of the Crown. By this law grain of all kinds has been made subject to very high duties on importation. These duties are so contrived that the worse the quality of the corn the higher is the duty; so that when good wheat rises to 70s. a quarter, the average price of all wheat is 57s. or 58s., and the duty 15s. or 14s. a quarter. Thus the corn barometer points to fair, while the ship is bending under a storm.
This defect was pointed out many years ago by writers on the Corn Laws, and was urged upon the attention of the House of Commons when the present Act was under consideration.
But I confess that on the general subject my views have in the course of twenty years undergone a great alteration. I used to be of opinion that corn was an exception to the general rules of political economy; but observation and experience have convinced me that we ought to abstain from all interference with the supply of food...
Let us, then, unite to put an end to a system which has been proved to be the blight of commerce, the bane of agriculture, the source of bitter divisions among classes, the causes of penury, fever, mortality, and crime among the people... .

This automotive grade Dupont Centari Acrylic enamel paint builds nicely and glosses much better than normal spray paints, plus it's much more durable. Compare our full size 12 oz. cans to the factory 6 oz. can and you'll see that you get twice as much paint for about half the price or less. Depending on the color, the factory touch-up paint can cost as much as $30 for a 6 oz. can ($5.00 an ounce!).
Your color code is listed on the vehicle data plate mounted in the engine compartment. Matching faded paint or blending large horizontal surfaces is very difficult and best left to a pro. Each 12 oz. can provides approximately 6 sq. ft. (3ft x 2ft) of coverage.
Volvo Paint Code Identification & Location
Volvo paint codes are identified using a three digit number. Later model paint codes also include a two digit suffix to identify the type of paint used. In the picture below, 426 is the paint code and 26 refers to the qualities of the paint such as water based, enamel, etc. Certain color codes may be referred to by more than one color name for marketing purposes.
Only the first three digit code are necessary when ordering touch up paint for your Volvo.
To find the paint code located the vehicle product plate as shown in the picture below.
It will be located under the hood near the drivers side inner fender or for earlier models on the strut tower or near the core support.
Later model vehicles like the S40/V50/C30/C70 may have the plate located in the door pillar of the RR door shown in the pictures below.

Rebirth of the Former Explosives Magazine
Located in the heart of the central business district, Asia Society Hong Kong Center (ASHK) is situated at the former Explosives Magazine of the old Victoria Barracks, a site steeped in history, cultural significance and natural beauty.
The 1.364 hectare site, which houses a group of four former British military buildings, was originally built by the British Army in the mid-19th century for explosives and ammunition production and storage. It was then expanded and taken over by the Royal Navy in the early 20th century. The site was later abandoned in 1990s until it was granted to ASHK by the HKSAR government for adaptive reuse. The heritage site was an integral part of the British military lands and as one of the few remaining sites, it is an important tangible link to Hong Kong's past.
Through the vision of internationally acclaimed architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, and careful conservation, restoration and adaptive reuse, this heritage site was successfully transformed into a cultural, artistic and intellectual hub in Hong Kong in 2012. ASHK offers a broad variety of programs in the form of lectures, performances, film screenings and exhibitions to the community.
Revitalized with funds generously donated by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and other local and international individuals and organizations, ASHK combines heritage conservation with a distinctive modern aesthetic that has created a dynamic complex allowing the Center to extend its educational programs to the larger community.
GG Block
Listed as a Grade II historical building, GG Block was built circa late 1940s and was once used by the Special Investigation Branch of the Royal Military Police. Now, it has been conserved and restored as one of ASHK's administrative offices.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club Hall
On the UG level of the Entry Pavilion, behind the reception area, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Hall is a large multi-purpose function hall that can accommodate up to 240 people, banquet style, as well as provide space for lectures, seminars and receptions.
Interactive Corner
Adjacent to the reception area on the UG level of the Entry Pavilion, the Interactive Corner allows visitor to learn more about the conservation, transformation process and milstones of the heritage site.
Joseph Lau & Josephine Lau Roof Garden
Follow the sound of the Noble Water Feature up the exterior staircase to the stunning Joseph Lau Roof Garden. Standing beside Zhang Huan's Long Island Buddha, you can enjoy the contrasting scenes of lush green foliage and the urban jungle of Admiralty. This open space allows the perfect setting for outdoor events and a leisurely stroll in the afternoon.
Lippo Amphitheater (Formerly Landscape Terrace)
Hidden beneath the Hong Kong Jockey Club Hall, and flanked by the GG Block and lush hillside, this all-weather amphitheater is designed for a wide variety of outdoor performances, film screenings, and other interactive programs.
Asia Society Store
Located on the LG level of the Entry Pavilion, Asia Society Store showcases creative designs by local and Asian artists, books by our prominent program speakers and exhibition catalogs. Here you can shop for gifts and souvenirs to remember your experience at ASHK.
Chantal Miller Gallery (Formerly Asia Society Gallery)
Former Magazine A, built between 1863 and 1868, this structure is among the oldest remaining military buildings from the colonial period in Hong Kong. Previously used to store explosives and designed to contain accidental explosions, it is now listed as a Grade I historical building, it has been thoughtfully restored and adapted for use as a modern exhibition space of international museum standards.
Miller Theater
Former Magazine B, built between 1905 and 1907, through multiple alterations, this Grade I historical building has now been transformed into a theater equipped with high-quality theatrical facilities that encompass over 100 seats for lectures, performances and film screenings.
Starr-Greenberg Building (Former Laboratory)
Built in the 1860s by the British Army and now listed as a Grade I historical building, this structure was originally used for mixing explosives. It now houses one of the ASHK offices and two function rooms.
Credit Suisse Room
One of the two meeting rooms in the Starr-Greenberg Building (Former Laboratory), suitable for intimate receptions with a round-table setting for up to 12 guests.
Lee Quo Wei Room
One of the two meeting rooms in the Starr-Greenberg Building (Former Laboratory), suitable for small-medium sized luncheon events with a round-table setting for up to 48 guests.

As the Christmas social season starts in earnest, Phong Luu canvasses some of fashion's finest for their party wisdom.
BY Phong Luu | 05 December 2012

"Turkeys are perfect for feeding larger gatherings," reveals Pippa Middleton in her party planning book, Celebrate . We promise that this is the only, um, turkey in our compendium of tips for this party season, gathered from the great and the stylish: fashion insiders, designers and red-carpet regulars - women who regularly attend parties, and who never fail to attend those parties looking fabulous.
And there are lots of sparky suggestions, whether on outfits ("I love a high-waisted pencil skirt with a fabulous pair of really high heels," says the impeccably groomed Olivia Palermo), an attitude ("You don't have to be cleavagey or bling to look sexy," says the never-knowingly-overdressed model Irina Lazareanu), or a strategy ("What I do to prevent myself getting too silly is to book an important meeting the next day" - wise words from Fashion East founder Lulu Kennedy). Basically, they've got all your bases covered - now go dazzle 'em at that party.
Yasmin Le Bon, Olivia Palermo and Lulu Kennedy PHOTOS: Getty/Rex
Yasmin Le Bon: On cutting a rug
It's all about a heel you can dance in and a dress you can have fun in. My all-time favourite is a vintage flapper dress; I call it "Rock 'n' roll" because, if you think about it, flappers were very rock 'n' roll. And I've had so much fun in it - it's been torn and shortened, and torn and shortened.
Francesca Versace: On pre-party preparation
I imagine a more "dressed-up" version of myself when looking at an invitation. I get myself in the mood by listening to loud music, usually by Lou Doillon - she has an enchanting voice - and you can't beat a glass of champagne.
Irina Lazareanu: On dressing down
I like to keep it all quite understated. If I'm wearing a really big red-carpet number, I'll mix it up with flats. But I also like to wear trousers to party in. The hair's key - never too overdone. I like it to look as natural as possible. And I don't do much jewellery either. You don't have to be all cleavagey and bling to look sexy.
IN PICTURES: Do the Christmas party season in the best of British designers
Joan Burstein: On how to be eye-catching
Try not to overdo it, unless it's a fancy dress party. The beauty products I use and love are By Terry; her Nectar Opulent cream (£238, spacenk.com) and her Eclat Opulent Moisturiser (£98) blend into your skin, giving a very natural finish.
Every woman should have a great piece of jewellery - fun or real - that attracts attention; my fail-safes are glorious earrings that captivate the eye.
Earrings, £18, Asos; asos.com. Heels, £595, Christian Louboutin; net-a-porter.com. Bag, £530, Holly Fulton; farfetch.com
Diana Donovan: On comfort dressing
For the "older woman", my mantra is "less is more". Definitely veer away from mutton dressed as lamb and, where possible, avoid sleeveless. Find something to wear that is right for the party, and is comfortable - something that you are not conscious of wearing - easy to move in, no hitching or pulling up or down. Simple, elegant outfits and similarly simple, sleek, comfortable shoes. Be careful of tights - black opaques can make for a very dark look. For make-up, again, less is more for an older woman, but perhaps a little more than you would wear during the day, and nothing beats a visit to the hairdresser, if you have time.
Lulu Kennedy: On staying sensible
Be true to your style: I wore a black, strapless Jonathan Saunders gown on the red carpet last year. It was beautiful and I got lots of comments, but I feel more "me" to be dressed a little more scruffily. Personalise your look with one-of-a-kind jewellery; John Lewis has got a really good little vintage jewellery cabinet, which I always raid for earrings. And don't drink too much: what I do to prevent myself getting too silly is to book an important meeting the next day. I had an important lunch with Miu Miu the day after the British Fashion Awards last Tuesday, so I was on good behaviour.
Chloe Lonsdale, MiH Jeans founder: On experimentation
Use this time of year to treat yourself to a lovely new product you wouldn't normally wear - a deep-red lipstick (see our guide to the best reds in Beauty Lab, left) or a sweep of glitter eyeliner. One simple element like this can transform your face and mood for the party season. The same goes for scent. Around Christmas, I always feel like wearing a richer, headier scent - something that gives a sense of occasion over my normal fresher, single-note perfumes. I like Jo Malone Red Roses (from £38, jomalone.co.uk).
IN PICTURES: The trendy 20: Party dresses
Lulu Guinness: On being the centre of attention
A statement clutch is a talking point, a great way to start a conversation in a crowded room and always attracts attention. It adds interest to any outfit.
Olivia Palermo: On high-impact hair
I love a high-waisted pencil skirt with a fabulous pair of high heels, a simple shirt and statement jewellery - Miriam Haskell does great accessories. I always do my hair myself. Sometimes I put a wave in it, but I tend to keep it simple - either slicked back or very straight. I love a good tease, though, to get a little zhoosh in my hair; Living Proof has a thickening product called Amp2 that gives it this volume like no other product (spacenk.com). Julien Farel also does a great product called Vitamin Restore that keeps your hair in great condition - it brings your pH balance back and just strips away everything. For the best smokey eye, you can't beat brown shadows from Guerlain and Bobbi Brown.
Monica Vinader: On keeping it fresh
My key to looking fresh for all my Christmas parties is great, natural-looking make-up. Invest in some essential products. I always keep Kevyn Aucoin's Creamy Glow rouge blush (£19, spacenk.com), my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer (£33, houseoffraser.co.uk) and Secret Brightener under-eye pen (£24.50, spacenk.com) hand. They are both so lightweight and give you just the right tint of colour and shine. Add a pair of long cocktail earrings and no one will even notice your tired eyes.
IN PICTURES: Top ten party outfits
Zoe Jordan: On last-minute tricks
Keep a stash of small pressies - travel candles or chocolates from Rococo, for example - in your bag in case you get caught out; a bright lipstick is a quick and easy way to make you look like you dressed up, especially when you are going somewhere straight from the office. Also, trainers, perfume and mints are all essentials for the Christmas handbag.
Louise Gray: On endurance
Line your stomach beforehand: anything on toast - beans, cheese, mushrooms - I'm a carbs kind of girl.

The sad thing is not that this is apparently a thing - no, the sad thing is that people actually believe this to be true. If you believe Apple and Google really care about you as a user, you've already lost the battle.

Participants from five countries were invited to South Africa to receive in-depth training in mediation and peacebuilding.
Between 22 August and 2 September 2011, ACCORD held a Joint Peacebuilding Training and Study Tour to South Africa for key peacebuilding stakeholders from five African countries. The participants exchanged professional expertise and enhanced their knowledge on the topic of "Elections, Governance and Conflict" during two weeks of conferencing in Durban and Johannesburg.
The event, which was funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, brought together 15 participants from Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Liberia, Sudan and South Sudan for numerous in-depth training sessions facilitated by ACCORD staff and external experts. Deeper insights on the specific history, institutions and context of peacebuilding in South Africa were gained during visits to the Apartheid Museum and the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) – elections being a key theme of the study tour.
Through animated discussions and an exchange of perspectives and experiences, the participants identified common problems and best practices in peacebuilding, looking specifically at the implementation of peaceful elections and good governance in their home countries. They also forged new professional relationships and friendships.
In light of incidents of electoral violence in several countries on the African continent in recent years and the threat this poses to peacebuilding efforts, it is particularly important to strengthen the ties between peacebuilding actors from different countries. The study tour will thus support an increase in coherence and coordination of peacebuilding efforts going forward, and the development of shared visions and strategies for dealing with common challenges through adaptable and genuinely African peacebuilding solutions.

Headquartered out of Arlington, Washington, OutBack Power was founded in 2001 by a small group of passionate engineers. The small startup quickly earned a reputable foundation by listening to their customers and incorporating many of the changes that were suggested, truly establishing a customer focused company. Today, they are a trusted name in the renewable energy field, offering a vast selection of innovative products that were exclusively pioneered by OutBack Power. Their product line includes off grid inverters, grid-tie inverters with battery backup, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) charge controllers, and communications/network products, along with a wide range of integration and safety hardware. Outpacing many of their competitors, OutBack Power offers an extended warranty option on many of their inverters.
OutBack Power is constantly expanding their industry leading level of customer service with dedicated, direct dial, tech support lines as well as an online "live-chat" service. As a distributor for OutBack Power products, Wholesale Solar is an integral part of the high level of support that customers have come to expect from OutBack Power.
OutBack Power is highly known for providing rugged inverters and charge controllers designed to survive in environments that would normally destroy other inverter/chargers. The FX series of sealed inverter/chargers comes with some of the most rugged features one can find on sealed systems. Some of these features include die-cast aluminum chassis with a powder-coated finish to prevent corrosion, generous use of gaskets and O-ring seals to keep water and small particles out, and a protective conformal coating on all circuit boards. The externally mounted "turbo" cooling system will keep your FX series inverter/charger running at peak performance in high heat conditions.
The FLEXnet ™ DC system has been leading the way in DC system monitoring devices. Integrated networked data from your system easily allows you to stay in constant touch with your system's level of performance and efficiency. The FLEXnet™ DC module seamlessly conforms to either the FW500-DC or the FW1000-DC enclosures, and can easily monitor up to three shunts.
OutBack Power also offers grid-interactive versions of their inverter/chargers, which come in either sealed (GTFX) or vented (GVFX) models, allowing you to sell solar, wind, and/or hydro power back to the utility grid. Utilizing a built-in 60A transfer switch, AC power is seamlessly switched between utility and battery power. For 120/240V power output configurations, the G series can easily be combined or "stacked". Back to Top

The Big Ten is now a conference of Legends, Leaders and East Coasters.
The league on Monday added Maryland, and Rutgers will join Tuesday.
At a news conference on Maryland's campus, league commissioner Jim Delany welcomed the school by saying that Big Ten presidents and chancellors were "giddy" and unanimous in their support.
"Maybe some people fear the turtle," Delany said, in reference to the school's former slogan. "We embrace the turtle."
They embrace it because of what Delany sees as a paradigm shift in college athletics, where a bigger conference means more fans, more TV viewers and more money.
"We watched different conferences move out of their region," Delany said in a telephone interview with the Tribune and ESPN.com. "The SEC moved into Texas (Texas A&M) and Missouri, the ACC moved into Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) and Indiana (Notre Dame) and New York (Syracuse).
"It made us think: Are we vulnerable? What has been our advantage over time? Great institutions, great demographics. We started to think: What are the possibilities? We came to the conclusion: If there were opportunities there, we should explore them."
Delany said the talks with Maryland "heated up" about a month ago, resulting in Monday's announcement.
The Big Ten belied its name in 1990 by adding Penn State. Nebraska joined in 2010. Both have upper-echelon football programs.
Maryland has won one ACC title since 1986, and as the Washington Post's John Feinstein wrote, the football program "hasn't really mattered on the national stage since the 1950s."
"This is a long-term play," Delany said. "There's no reason that Maryland can't be a prominent football program. They have great recruiting and great markets. And good competition makes everybody better."
Delany spent Monday in Washington before going to College Park, Md., where he competed in basketball while playing for Dean Smith at North Carolina.
He's clearly aware that many Maryland alums cherished being a charter member of the ACC – and that some Big Ten fans believe their product has been watered down.
"I know there is some ambivalence," Delany said, "and I know there may be some anger. But I hope that over time, we can embrace you, that you can learn to be our partner and that together we can become much better than we are without each other."
Delany would not confirm that his next stop would be Rutgers' campus in New Brunswick, N.J., about 30 miles from his hometown of South Orange, N.J.
"I'll be home for Thanksgiving, I know that," he said.
Delany said Monday was reserved to "celebrate" Maryland.
But the commissioner made it clear that the league will consider even more expansion. With the Big Ten eager to boost its television reach, some think 16 teams are inevitable.
"We will see what happens around the country," Delany said. "If the shift continues, we will be strategic about responding to it.
"In 1990, we could not have envisioned where television would be now. I don't know where television will be in 2030. What I do know is having communities with fans and alumni and friends is a good thing when you are trying to move your games in front of a national audience."

Junior Achievement
Volunteers are needed for Junior Achievement, a curriculum that stresses financial literacy, workforce readiness and entrepreneurship through a series of "hands-on" classroom activities that are led by volunteers. Corporate and community volunteers are trained and provided with all teaching materials, including a guidebook that includes a "script" of everything to say and do. If you're a positive role model who wants to make a difference in children's lives, you're qualified. The demand for Junior Achievement continues to grow across Tuscaloosa, and that creates a need for more and more volunteers. Junior Achievement offers two ways volunteers can participate: "Traditional Format" and "JA in a Day." JA in a Day events require that the volunteer spend the day at a school and teach several different lessons. JA in a Day is perfect for volunteers who prefer one-day events.
Traditional format class opportunities are also available. Volunteers in the traditional Format make multiple trips to the school, teaching one lesson per visit. Days and times are set by the teacher and volunteers. Volunteers working with elementary students present five lessons for 30-45 minutes each.
For additional information or to schedule a volunteer training, contact Junior Achievement senior program manager Carla Harris 205-342-2835 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Kathy Prestridge: physics solutions for energy independence
Solving physics' greatest mysteries
Turbulence is the most important unsolved problem of classical physics.
That is how fellow Princeton grad and renowned Los Alamos physicist Richard Feynman described it, which Kathy Prestridge is dedicated to understanding.
When most people hear the word "turbulence," they think of the erratic airflow that disrupts their air travel. But turbulence influences a lot more than that: impacting the flow and boundaries between liquids and gases—from the benign mixing of cream in a cup of coffee to pollution dispersed in oceans and across the atmosphere.
Harnessing the power of the sun
Fluids are ubiquitous, and understanding fluid dynamics can improve how we design our automobiles or even our nuclear reactors. Tackle turbulence and its hold on the charged gas called plasma, and practical fusion reactors could become a reality.
At Los Alamos National Lab, Prestridge leads the Physics Division's Extreme Fluids Team that performs high-resolution experiments to study fluid dynamics and better understand mixing transition and turbulence. Applications include weapon design, astrophysics and inertial confinement fusion (ICF)—the power of the sun.
Featured on the cover of Journal of Fluid Mechanics a few months ago, Prestridge and colleagues took first-time measurements of shock-driven turbulent mixing, providing physical insights that support more accurate modeling. Understanding turbulence and being able to accurately simulate ICF implosions could substantially impact the nation's future energy independence.
A vibrant mix
In college at Princeton and then U.C. San Diego where she obtained her doctorate, Prestridge studied applied mechanics and aerospace engineering. At Los Alamos, she researches the behavior of materials in extreme conditions, in addition to turbulence and mixing.
A busy mother who is grateful for the support of her scientist husband, Ben Sims, Prestridge also leads seminars for women that help them develop skills and tactics to achieve their goals in challenging professional environments.
"Do something that is interesting, but your career doesn't have to define you," she tells future scientists.
No "mad scientists" here
"The town of Los Alamos can be a very intimidating environment for a young scientist or engineer," adds Prestridge. "STEM fields need people with different perspectives who are great at their jobs but are also able to communicate their ideas. Don't fall into believing the 'mad scientist' stereotype."
Fitting advice from a woman who was recently named one of the Lab's Women Who Inspire for her support of a dynamic and positive, collaborative team.
