I'd stopped for a brew at the side of a lovely little brook in the middle of nowhere and these prints were in a sand bank at the side. I've battered Google but I still cant decide one way or the other? Any ideas?

Students accepted to this degree receive an automatic scholarship which increments from Yr1 to Yr2. For more information on the MRES degree click here.
How to Apply
To apply for either our PhD or MRES degree programme you need to complete an EXPRESSION OF INTEREST application form online. For this you will be asked to select your preferred research project from the list of offered projects your CV, and list of two potential Referees who you agree we can contact, and a brief statement regarding your short-term and long-term motivation for undertaking the degree programme.
This information allows us to judge your capability with other students applying so we can select those best suited to advance to full admission through the University scholarship programme.
Once selected you will be paired with a potential Supervisor who will then invite you to an interview. These interviews help potential students get a better feel for what the Degree Programme and research will be like. These interviews will be via Skype, phone or in-person and will take place at most one month after the Expression of Interest deadline.
Once you have passed the interview and the potential Supervisor agrees to supervise your PhD studies you need to prepare a formal application. This application will be to Macquarie University and will enable you to apply to all types of scholarships that you will be eligible for. You will need some referees to also fill out pre-set referee application forms and these are sent separately to the Macquarie University HDR office. Applicants are strongly advised to prepare their applications as soon as possible after finding a supervisor. Copies of some documents must be certified (by the relevant authorities) as part of the formal application.

text: Jeremy Paxman's probing interview with Silvio Berlusconi may have garnered plenty of headlines, but Newsnight had a narrow escape after a bungle in the emailed transcript of the exchanges sent under embargo to journalists. In the broadcast interview, Berlusconi said that comic and activist Beppe Grillo "has many things in common with Robespierre, Stalin and Pol Pot, so he is not someone to be taken lightly." However, in the transcript sent out to press it said he "has many things in common with Robespierre, Stalin and Hitler". Cue an "urgent correction" email from what Monkey assumes was a frantic Newsnight PR team. Perhaps whoever transcribed the interview had the Nazi dictator on their minds after Prince Charles reportedly compared Vladimir Putin with Hitler. Still, as the old news adage goes 'never wrong for long'.

By Jasmeen A. Ubhi
I've always wanted more in life. I spent my undergrad taking as many classes as I could, trying to figure myself out. I spent a considerable amount of time switching majors but I eventually narrowed myfocus to two majors: Psychology & Social Behavior and Criminology, Law & Society. Instead of choosing a major, I decided that I would just double major. During this time, I was working at a personal injury/workers compensation law firm where the lead attorney pushed me to take the LSAT. Having no desire to actually attend law school, I sat for the exam mostly just to appease my boss. After taking the exam, things just snowballed and I ended up applying to law school. Throughout law school I continued to work in the legal profession to gain more experience.
While awaiting bar results, I was hired by a healthcare financial management organization to assist in third party recovery. After I passed the bar, the president of the company offered me the position of in-house counsel. This was a huge task as I had to quickly learn the laws governing MediCare/Medi-Cal. I was lucky enough to have a wonderful paralegal who took me under his wing and showed me the ropes. Before
I knew it, I was preparing and facilitating resolutions for writs of mandamus on behalf of healthcare institutions. My roles and duties changed throughout my employment there but I still wanted more. After a couple of years, I started applying to various attorney positions but nothing seemed to fit. So I took the plunge and opened up my own workers compensation defense practice working for a small group of clients. I had some background in workers compensation from working as a legal assistant during law school, but had to learn a great deal on my own.
During my career as an attorney, I have had to rely on myself to learn the various nuances of the law. Honestly, you really do not know how strong you are until you push yourself. Being successful as a solo practitioner does not mean you have to work in a firm to "learn the ropes." Law school does not have a residency program – unlike medical school – so we are pushed into the practice of law with little or no experience.

John Simm, the star of Clocking Off, Sex Traffic and Life on Mars, is widely considered to be one of the best television actors to emerge in recent years. But he has been sidelined by Hollywood in the film version of one of his biggest successes, the political thriller State of Play.
In the latest example of the trend for British actors to be replaced by Americans, it was revealed yesterday that Brad Pitt is due to take the lead role in the film remake of the serial, a critical and commercial success for the BBC.
Paul Abbott, the writer of State of Play, disclosed in an interview on BBC Radio 5 Live that Pitt has agreed to take on the role of the journalist Cal McCaffrey, played by Simm in the six-part drama, first shown in 2003.
It was also confirmed yesterday that a planned second series of State of Play may not be made.
Abbot, who also wrote episodes of Cracker, as well as creating Clocking Off and Shameless, is executive producer on the film, which has been in the planning stage for two years.
The plotline is believed to have been switched to an American location, which would account for the choice of Pitt in the lead role. Matthew Carnahan, best known as a writer, is due to direct the film, which is expected to begin production next year.
Liz Thomas, a writer on television for The Stage newspaper said the making of the film was a good advertisement for British television, although the choice of Pitt was "frustrating" for domestic actors such as Simm.
She said: "British TV is certainly very hip in Hollywood these days and, despite criticisms that the Americans do drama better, pieces like State of Play show we can more than hold our own. Thankfully, Abbott is executive producer on the film so the gripping plot and beautifully crafted dialogue won't be lost in translation.''
She added: "The good thing about reworking the show into a big-budget, high-profile film is that it is a huge advert or shop window for the sort of things that have come out of the UK in recent years, particularly given the smaller budgets. Brad Pitt will be a huge draw and commercially this makes sense. But, of course, it is frustrating that, given the wealth of acting talent available, that it isn't a Brit."
The story of a team of journalists investigating the death of a political researcher, State of Play won a best actor Bafta for Bill Nighy, who played a newspaper editor, and further editing and sound honours. It also starred David Morrissey and Polly Walker.
Although the BBC was reported to have commissioned a second series of State of Play before the first was shown and Abbott was said to be writing the story earlier this year, it appears the project has been shelved. The BBC said it knew of no plans for a second series while a spokesman for Abbott said he was "undecided" on a follow-up.
One reason for the uncertainty is likely to be the high demand for the services of Abbott, Nighy and Simm, who is due to star in the second series of Life on Mars, also a critical success.

Deputy City Editor
The fate of 1,600 staff at the former Wellcome research centre in Beckenham, south-east London, will be decided this month as Glaxo announces annualised cost savings of pounds 500m from its pounds 9bn takeover of the drugs company.
The savings, expected to be announced with interim figures next Thursday, have been achieved in the face of a rising tide of resentment at Wellcome sites where a quarter of the workforce are expecting to be made redundant by the end of September.
Five months after the takeover, Glaxo is also expected to reveal the cost of the integration - with analysts pencilling in a one-off provision of pounds 900m, of which pounds 200m will be taken against first half figures, the first since the hostile bid.
Staff at Beckenham were angry yesterday that they had not been informed of the departure of one of the company's most renowned researchers before news leaked out in the press. Dr Salvador Moncada, who pioneered understanding of the role of nitric oxide in the human body in the late 1980s, is leaving to set up a research laboratory at University College London.
Staff who knew Dr Moncada said his departure reflected a general "anti- Glaxo" feeling at the site, which is to be closed as part of the cost- cutting that has followed Britain's biggest-ever hostile takeover in March.
The loss of Dr Moncada highlights the difficulty Glaxo faces in persuading former Wellcome employees to stay at the enlarged group. Appointments already announced by the company have been heavily biased towards former Glaxo employees.
More than a quarter of the 1,600 jobs at Beckenham are now expected to face the axe, with the remainder transferring to Glaxo's new state- of-the-art research centre in Stevenage. Glaxo is expected to give a firm forecast of the numbers to be laid off from the combined group's 17,000 UK employees at next week's meeting.
A source at Wellcome's development and manufacturing plant in Dartford said a similarly gloomy atmosphere pervaded that site. A union representative at the plant accused Glaxo of failing to consult with workers and said that the management had only started detailed discussions over redundancies and terms after it had threatened legal action a month ago.
He added: "Six months ago, Wellcome was a viable company making good profits. Now we have effectively been gutted by Glaxo."
Although bitter at the way Wellcome is being dismembered by Glaxo, staff admitted that the severance terms were generous. A scientist aged 50 with 20 years service, for example, could walk away with two years salary.
A resource centre has been set up at Beckenham to help staff find other work, and Glaxo is also prepared to fund courses for people leaving the company who want to retrain.
Interim figures next week will include Wellcome for about 3.5 of the 6 months period. They are expected to show pre-tax profits before exceptional items 35 per cent higher at pounds 1.14bn. Taking account of the shares issued during the takeover, earnings per share should be about 18 per cent higher.
Analysts now believe Wellcome's prospects were substantially undervalued by the stockmarket at the time of Glaxo's hostile swoop. They now agree with the company's claim that the Wellcome Trust, its largest shareholder, sold it out on the cheap.

Consider these gel safety products designed to ease concerns about the application process.
Every time a client checks in for a service, we know you strive to remove and apply a set quickly and efficiently. When it comes to gels and gel-polish, proper removal of the product is important, especially because improper handling can damage the relationship you have with your clients. Turns out, there are two new products on the market created to speed up removal while protecting the natural nail.
Dashing Diva's Nail Guard is a micro thin, peel-away protective base for gel-polish and acrylics that requires no dry time and can be worn up to 14 days.
Minx Coat simply slides off with acetone after being applied over natural nails and under polish, gel-polish, and gels. When used under acrylics, the coat can be popped off with the help of an orangewood stick.
Do yourself and your clientele a favor and consider these gel safety products designed to ease concerns about the application process and protect and maintain natural nail health.

Something that the HPers frequently lie about is that they treat Israel just like every other country and judge it only based on its actions. Today, however, an article was published that busted that lie wide open.
The article was about Greece deporting 6,000 illegal immigrants. I would like to compare a few of the comments of the Greek article to an equivalent article about Israel deporting about 4,300 immigrants.
Two different countries, performing the same action, but two strongly different reactions.

Stressed? Worried? Scared you'll upset your boss? You needn't be. Everybody has to negotiate their salary during the course of their working life.
We provide advice on how to be able to get a pay rise from your boss.
Simon Ryan, Senior Business Manager, has been in the recruitment industry for six years, so he knows a thing or two about negotiating a pay-rise. Below, are some handy tips to help you negotiate that better salary.
1. Prepare – before acting, ensure that you have prepared a document with your goals and achievements. Measure these against what is expected of you and how you are performing above and beyond your job description.
2. Meeting - ask for a meeting with your line Manager/Boss. Salary negotiations are best done face-to-face.
3. Do your homework – research salaries in your field so you are making a sensible case.

5. Don't just think of the money - what skills and extra responsibility can you give in return.
6. Timing is everything – consider how the company is performing. For example, if profitability is low, the company is less likely to increase spend.

Crowne Plaza Hampton-Marina

0.4 mi from
-The bayview room with great bay windows -Location near nice shops -Very friendly and helpful staff -Good wifi; not too slow for a change -Breakfast was pricey, and not normally included (but it was good, and the staff was great). -There's some evidence that the rooms themselves are dated but generally the latest remodel was good.
actually a beautiful hotel in a awesome waterfront location with a brewery opening next door. place needs some work from the manic elevator to the semi clean shower stall and the clogged air return on the ac and loud whining output vent .
Hotel and room was furnished with beautiful nautical theme. Restaurant and bar downstairs had delicious food and proved to be very convenient. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Proximity to the marina and the Air and Space Museum also very convenient. Parking garage was well maintained and easy to use/ access for guests. Minor cosmetic issues in the room, some menu items in restaurant were overpriced.
I love the look of this hotel as well as the views. The location is pretty perfect as well. I was also very impress with the staff. Very friendly! The room was a little less clean than i would prefer. But this has never been a problem before at this hotel.
The location of my room, the view. I didn't like the fact that I couldn't stay longer. Had to return to work.
The hotel was impressively decorated and comfortable at the same time. I was greeted by name when I checked in. Despite being a younger traveler I was not talked down to or shown any disdain. The location on the marina offered wonderful views. The breakfast offered was delicious and more than ample. I will definitely return the next time I am staying in the area. The room thermostat would reset to 70 automatically and the TV would not have sound every other time it was turned on. Nothing that was too important or that would keep me from coming back.

Vast Number of Silent Films Lost to History
Old movies, whether they be the Hollywood classics of the 1940s or your parent's home VHS tapes, keep us rooted to our past. And silent movies are still the earliest cinematic record of our time—even if they have long been surpassed by more exciting forms of theater.
Unfortunately, the Library of Congress has reported that much of that record has been lost to history.
According to the Library of Congress, about 70 percent of the more than 10,000 silent films made between 1912 and 1929 are unaccounted for—many are suspected to have been burned or disintegrated without proper preservation and safe storage.
Dan Streible, a professor of cinema studies at New York University and founder of The Orphan Film Symposium, says that what gets depicted in movies is an important barometer of what is going on culturally. "Film is the best time machine we have," he says.
The loss of almost three quarters of the films from the 1920s—an era when the motion picture industry was booming—is not just a disappointment for cinephiles like Streible, but is a lost opportunity to see the world as it was back then depicted on screen.
However, film historians are holding out hope that some of the films considered lost may turn up in archives in other countries around the world. The Library of Congress report calls for "repatriation" of old films that were sent abroad during the early 20th century but were too expensive to ship back.
Streible joins The Takeaway to discuss the significance of this lost record of silent cinema, and whether the U.S. can recover these pieces of missing history.

You probably want some kind of task oriented tag system, instead of just using categories. Your address book, email, and browser all belong to the Internet task. Your address book, email, and address book all belong to the PIM task. Your calendar/todo system, word processor, and spreadsheet all belong to the Office/Workflow task. Of course, the system isn't set up for it nearly as well as it is for just pigeonholing everything into single categories, so I just put my most frequently used apps on a bar on the side of my desktop, and touch the menu system rarely. Alot of the desktops, except for Gnome and OS X seem to focus on monitoring which apps get clicked on the most, and try to provide this for you automagically. They fail, because rather than making things easy, they put a bunch of frequently used items in unpredictable spaces, forcing the user to hesitate when trying to do what he/she does the most often. Of course we probably need some good usability studies, and I'm sure Microsoft has enough money invested in their POS start menu that says users like having their commonly used programs shift position regularly. A task oriented desktop has been my (increasingly devalued) 0.02 USD for the past year and half though. -Yaakov

Our vision is HUGE…to be a church that unchurched people will find irresistible.
We're simple, real and fun.
We gather on Sunday's in a movie theater, we meet in groups during the week and spread Jesus during the week!

Australian Business Confidence Improves In June
RTTNews - Business confidence in Australia turned positive in June for the first time since December 2007, results of the latest survey by the National Australia Bank revealed.
The business confidence index stood at 4 in June compared to minus 2 in the preceding month. The NAB also said its measure of current business conditions improved, but remained modestly in the negative territory. The business conditions index rose 12 points in June to a reading of minus 2.
The report said the business conditions appeared to have rebounded to a level roughly similar to that reported prior to the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September last year and the global meltdown in activity that ensued.
Meanwhile, the labor market index rose 18 points to minus 7, the largest monthly rise in the survey's history.
However, this was not reflected in the jobless rate, which climbed to 5.8% in June from 5.7% in May, the highest since October 2003, a report by the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed.
Meanwhile, a number of positive news from the Australian economy indicated the worst for the economy was almost over. The consumer confidence index surged to its highest level in 19 months in July, the latest report from the Westpac and Melbourne Institute said earlier in the month.
A report released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics said the housing commitments for owner occupation rose a seasonally adjusted 2.3% in May compared to April. Owner occupied housing commitments increased to A$17.04 billion from A$16.6 billion in the preceding month.
In its latest Monetary policy meeting the Reserve Bank of Australia kept the interest rate unchanged at a 49-year low of 3%. The central bank said the economic conditions have to date not been as weak as expected a few months ago.

We are delighted to be launching our inaugural women's team in 2016/17
As well as creating our own open age womens' team, we are committed to playing an active role in supporting the development of girls football. We are pleased to be forging links with Harrogate Girls League, The West Riding Girls Football League, and the recently established Sports Recruiting U18 Combination League.
Commercial Director Ged Maloney is a strong advocate of developing the Women and Girls game, and is certain that the creation of a Ladies team will strengthen the clubs position in the community.
"We have wanted to get involved in the female game for a long time but have been held back by a lack of access to high quality facilities. However, today we feel we are in a stronger position than ever to make this work, and everyone at the club is fully committed to seeing it through.
By working closely with West Riding County FA and the fantastic girls leagues we have locally, I am confident that we can play an active part in developing Women and Girls football at all levels.
We are fortunate that we now have the infrastructure and facilities which enable us to be a key part of the community, and are keen to support any local girls club in their footballing development.
There are some well established and incredibly well run female teams in Harrogate, and quite simply I want Harrogate Town to be a part of this thriving culture.
As a club, we are newcomers to the female game, and are very much in our infancy, but if there are any players out there without a club for the 2016/2017 season or any parents who want to find out what we can offer their daughter, I strongly urge you to get in touch"

Riksbank Minutes: Repo Rate To Stay At Low Level
Tuesday, the minutes of the monetary policy meeting of Riksbank held on April 20 revealed that the interest rate is expected to stay at a low level until the beginning of 2011. If economic activity deteriorates more than expected in the future, the Riksbank has the possibility to take other measures, the minutes showed.
In its April meeting, the Executive Board of the central bank had reduced its key interest rate by 50 basis points to a record low of 0.5%. Lars Svensson sought a 0.75 percentage point reduction.
It is always necessary to be prepared to be able to implement an alternative monetary policy if developments should require this, but such measures do not need to be implemented from today, Governor, Stefan Ingves said.
Purchasing government bonds can be regarded as the most natural extension of conventional monetary policy and such operations can reduce the long-term rate. Buying bonds will not probably arise until the central bank has done everything that can be done to facilitate the supply of credit with the aid of changes in terms for lending and deposits at the Riksbank.

Australia's Ashes plans were disrupted today by an English net bowler who never played a first-class game in his home country.
All-rounder James Faulkner (above) suffered a broken right thumb from a ball delivered by Aaron Onyon, a 26-year-old paceman who moved Western Australia after playing 2nd XI cricket for Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire in 2010, failing to progress to the first team.
Faulkner is thought to have had a genuine chance of playing in the Third Test, either as a replacement for Ryan Harris, who has been suffering from a knee problem, or in place of off-spinner Nathan Lyon if Australia had opted for an all-pace attack.
Australian team doctor Peter Brukner said: "James was struck on the right thumb while batting in the nets and was subsequently taken for an x-ray which revealed a fracture of the thumb. As a result he will not be available for the Third Test. His progress will be monitored for a return to playing duty depending on how quickly the injury heals."
Lyon is now likely to retain his place in the side and Australia's only doubt is about Harris. The 34-year-old has had an injury-plagued career but he bowled in the nets earlier today and captain Michael Clarke said: "I'm confident he'll be fine."

Despite LG's promise that the NOVA display is better at conserving power than LCD screens we still needed to charge it at the end of each day

Look and feel
Ease of use
Battery life
The NOVA display is impressively vibrant and delivers on its promise to provide an excellent visual experience, even when outdoors
Dated Android 2.2, Wi-Fi connection kept dropping, slow webpages
When the LG Optimus Black was unveiled back in January at CES in Las Vegas, two things stood out: LG claimed it was the world's slimmest smartphone and it was also the debut device for the manufacturer's NOVA display technology, something LG hinted was so impressive it would seriously rival the iPhone 4's excellent Retina display. Since then, the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc have launched, both with slimmer waistlines. But there's still that Nova screen, and with a host of other features squeezed into that chassis, we had high hopes for the Optimus Black.
Something else we took away from CES was that while the LG Optimus 2X with its dual-core processor was the Korean firm's powerhouse handset, the Optimus Black was its head turner. While our pupils did initially dilate as we opened up the box, they quickly returned to normal on closer examination. The front of the device is certainly eye-catching (and uncannily iPhone 4-esque), with a sleek piano black finish that borders a four-inch display. Yet when we flipped the phone over, not only were we greeted with the plasticky Teflon cover we've come to associate with lower-end phones, but we were also surprised to find it was far more charcoal than 'black' as its name would suggest. Perhaps we were expecting too much, but the LG Optimus Black's looks failed to inspire us. Bizarrely, the Optimus Black is also available in white.
Below the display sit four touch-keys: settings, home, back and search. These become illuminated once the screen is woken, which can only be done by pressing the power/lock button found on the top of the phone. You'll still need to unlock the phone by swiping the screen upwards. These keys produce a heavy pulse when you press them so you're under no illusion as to whether they've recognised your command or not.
So what of this high-tech display? Well, it's certainly bright. The icons resting on the home screens have a 3D feel and their edges are prominent, making them stand out. LG promises that its NOVA display reduces energy consumption by up to 50% compared to that of an LCD screen. That might be the theory, but we still had to charge the handset after a day's use.
However, its real USP is the claim that it offers the best outdoor reading experience seen on any phone. In fact, with a built-in light sensor the Optimus Black cleverly assesses your environment and adjusts the brightness accordingly, reducing battery consumption in the process. You can test it by simply moving your hand over the phone and watching the screen illuminate a little bit more. The transition is less obvious outdoors, but we enjoyed a near glare-free visual experience with the Optimus Black in the great outdoors.
If you don't like being dictated to you can always adjust the brightness manually - cranked up to the max, the NOVA display really is quite blinding. We wouldn't put the display in the same league as either the iPhone 4's Retina display or even that of the Samsung Galaxy S II's Super AMOLED Plus screen (brightness apart) - but it impresses and remains one of the device's highlights.
The LG Optimus Black runs on Android 2.2 Froyo, meaning it's not in the same class as the Gingerbread-toting Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC Sensation. Though LG has promised an update, some early adopters may be put off by this slow start. That said, the phone can still play Flash video and when that update does come along, we assume the fact that it already has a (two-megapixel) front-facing camera will mean that it's able to support video calling too.
As with all its previous Android phones, LG has skinned the Optimus Black with its own S-Class user interface. When manufacturers do this, it can often lead to muddled results - sadly, this applies here. Customising the menu is a fiddly process, requiring you to pinch and pull before renaming, adding categories or moving the order that programs appear, while the preset apps such as Twitter for LG and Facebook for LG are limited in functions. You're frankly better off downloading fuller versions from the Android market.
Perhaps the most innovative feature LG has introduced to the Optimus Black is its 'gesture' control. Found on the left-hand side of the phone is a 'G' key. By holding this down you can, for example, slide from home screen to home screen by tilting the phone in either direction, or answer a call one-handed with a double tap. It's a tad gimmicky, but we were quite taken with it, though we're not sure why the volume keys are so close to the 'G' key as we accidentally pushed it on more than one occasion, especially when the right-hand edge of the phone is completely bare.
One gesture that had huge potential was the ability to fire up the camera from the lock screen. As is becoming frustratingly common practice among Android phones, there's no dedicated camera key on the LG Optimus Black, meaning by the time you've accessed it via the touch icon that spontaneous shot you were hoping to capture has gone. The idea of being able to start the camera from the locked screen with just a sharp jolt pleased us. The fact that you actually need to awake the phone by pressing the power button first, did not.
The camera is actually one of the better features of the Optimus Black, though we found we got far better results when adjusting the settings manually rather than leaving it on auto, especially when taking 'macro' shots. There's plenty of pre and post doctoring you can do with your snaps too, which should please the David Baileys out there. Sadly, video recording didn't fare as well, with our films appearing on the blurry side, and it was irksome to discover that no adjustment, such as zooming, is possible once recording has begun.
Our web experience was also a mixed bag. Again, the display came into its own with pages displayed with impressive crispness. Yet despite the single-core 1GHz chip, webpages took a while to load up fully. Have we become too accustomed to dual-core processors already? Our Wi-Fi signal also dropped out on more than one occasion. This could have been down to our own office hotspot, but none of our other devices or phones dropped connection, so we can only assume it was down to the Optimus Black.
Talking of Wi-Fi, the phone houses a very innovative feature called Wi-Fi Direct. This enables you to send content directly from one Wi-Fi-enabled device to another at a rate far quicker than Bluetooth and at a distance of up to 656ft. However, until this technology is embraced by other manufacturers, it will sadly remain rather redundant.
Four months is a long time in the mobile world. Our initial excitement when we first got introduced to the LG Optimus Black at CES in Las Vegas has been replaced with a shrug of the shoulders.
The screen is undoubtedly impressive but neither the build nor what's going on under the bonnet can justify the £400 price tag - especially when other more powerful phones such as the iPhone 4, Samsung Galaxy S II and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc are available for a similar cost.

LAST season she took to the catwalk for Nicola Formichetti's Mugler show (writhing and pole-dancing as she went), but this time, though not there in person, Lady Gaga did an equally good job at getting the show going: "I am Mugler woman, don't fuck with me, don't fuck with Mugler. Do you want to anger Mugler woman? She will eat you," she sang out from her new video, screened last night at the show.
WATCH THE FILM HERE
READ ABOUT THE FILM HERE
And that wasn't the only point of difference from autumn/winter 2011-12 – flesh was more covered and tones more muted, in fact it was all quite a lot calmer, less provocative really. Sure, there was still some flesh on show and sure, the body was sveltely shown off with tight-fitting jackets, skirts and dresses but it was all a lot tamer with drapes and layered shapes to create random off-cuts that trailed from hips, hems and trouser ankles.
SEE LADY GAGA'S STYLE IN PICTURES
Setting out in mustard-nude tones, we saw all-in-one cape hybrids with cut-outs, then dresses that curved round the bust, again with cut-outs just beneath and then jackets built up high in the shoulder, some sequin-glitter smeared jeans and then a more gothic and grungy approach in black with leather trousers and coats that had more than a hint of Halloween about them towards the end.
It perhaps just wasn't quite the steamy party that it was last season.

First Haircut
Up until recently, I'd not seen a reason to cut Zizi's hair. Her curly tresses were delightful, even though the twice daily combing was not the most fun for either of us. Yet now at 3, when wet her hair reached the top of her butt-butt. That was fine for braids, but not so fine when she wanted to wear her hair loose. It was too much to contain with headbands or clips. Even if I tried to leave it open, the teachers would end up braiding it at school. So with reluctance (yes, I have that black person hair cutting thing), she headed to Superstarz Kidz Salon for her first haircut.
I really didn't want to be *that* parent rolling in with the dSLR for photos of the event, so I managed with my iPhone. Yes the images are crappy, but ça y est.
She was so happy to be able to sit in a pink jeep watching Dora the entire time.
After we got back home, I managed to break out The Precious for a couple of pics of the new do:

Best Sparkling Nail Polishes for Christmas 2016
I don't know what is going on with me but I am very into glitter and sequins lately. You may have seem my jumper if you follow me on Instagram. And trust me, it is a big deal that I am wearing something like this, pretty much all my friends had to make jokes about it, even my parents were surprised when I saw them the other day.
"I have never seen you in sequins, like ever," Mum was shocked.
"She is just old now," Dad replied. My Father just likes to tease me whenever he can.
But why all those talks? I just want to share the sparkling nail polishes which are new for this season which caught my eye. And these are not all the options, just the ones I like.
JINsoon Tout Ensemble Collection, $56 from Barney's and Saks

Totally renewed, NRG Air improves in every aspect. Increased stiffness. Reduced weight. 5 different areations for optimal airflow. Compatible with SPD pedals.
Ultralight PU - Woman design
Multilayer Thermowelded.
Northwave has extended to its entire new collection the use of thermowelded unibody uppers. Two main advantages are:
- Use of thinner and therefore lighter materials
- Almost complete stitching elimination
The upper results are a more anatomical fitting, in order to better envelop the foot. Thanks to this technology, the upper features larger air vents resulting in improved comfort during pedalling.
S.R.S. (Slim Ratchet System) is Northwave's new micrometric buckle. Maximum closing precision, minimized size and weight. The mechanism follows the anatomic shape of the foot, to ensure the most comfortable fit, and is designed to ease the grasp even when riding. Forged in aluminum, it's great for top resistance and ease of replacement.
Asymmetrical Straps.
The asymmetrical construction is another innovation of the collection. The central strap is moved to the center so as to follow the anatomy of the foot and reduce the pressure on the side area, because particularly sensitive. The straps have been lightened by all superfluous elements, presenting thinner thicknesses and discharged central areas, thereby maintaining maximum grip.
Integrated Heel System.
The new unibody construction of the uppers allowed to integrate an efficient heel retention system inside the structure, without the need of external elements. Same efficiency, reduced weight.
Performance Advanced Footbed.
Ergonomic design: because you need to keep the perfect position when pedalling and you want comfort too.
