But unfortunately, the high-end products currently on the market 17, 18 inches large screen notebook mainly concentrated in the million, according to 5000 yuan mainstream users 17 inch large screen notebook is very rare, and we today we tested this Asus X751L was recently listed a 17 inch big screen Entertainment Notebook, the price of 5200 yuan, the price of the rich 5000 large screen market. Its specific performance? Please see the following details.
As a large screen products as a selling point, Asus X751L equipped with 17.3 inches Full HD matte screen, the screen size than the ordinary 14 inch notebook 34%, 1920 * 1080 resolution to Asus X751L display content than the traditional 1366 * 768 resolution 49.4%, very suitable for those in need of large screen display, while the need for mobile use user.
In the hardware part, due to Asus X751L with ASUS X751LD Battery daily entertainment, so not as expensive as those gaming notebook with top of the line CPU and graphics card, but the choice of the fourth generation Intel core i5-4210U processor GeForce with low power consumption, 840M card, 4GB memory, 1TB large capacity mechanical hard disk, the overall performance can basically meet the needs of the need for daily use, 1TB hard disk storage space is relatively abundant.
In appearance, the overall design of the X751L Asus relatively simple, not too much decoration, shell is made of plastic material to build, has a different texture surface, enhance the body texture to a certain extent, the sale price of 5200 yuan is reasonable, the price is relatively out of sudden in similar products.
X751L is a relatively simple Asus large screen notebook, its appearance design is more traditional, carbon black plastic cover surface after bite flower craft processing, uniform distribution with the three-dimensional lozenge, reducing the impact on the appearance of fingerprint residual stains, and improve the wear resistance of the top cover.
Lifted the lid, 17.3 inch large screen display Asus X751L with built-in 4cells ASUS X751L Battery equipped in front of us, it's the resolution to 1920 * 1080, matte effect appears on the surface, compared with the mirror display can be reduced due to the influence of the reflective screen.
In the part of the screen frame, plastic frame Asus X751L with matte texture, it can enhance the wear resistance of the frame, not prone to scratches affect appearance. Asus X751L is equipped with a back mounted keyboard, the keyboard surface casing made of plastic material to build, the keyboard and palm rest area with different texture segmentation. For the use of experience, chocolate keyboard spacing Asus X751L equipped with a reasonable, moderate elasticity, key process than the general chocolate keyboard slightly longer, up to 2.3mm, it feels better than traditional chocolate keyboard typing.
Next we look at the distribution of Asus interface X751L, due to the use of shaft sinking, so the interface is mainly focused on both sides of the fuselage, which make arrangements for the RJ45 network interface, VGA video output interface, HDMI 1.4 video output interface, three USB3.0 interfaces and a microphone Headset hole composite interface, has a 17 inch large body, but coupled with keyhole and outlet, Asus X751L with ASUS X751LAV Battery interface on the left are densely distributed.
On the right side of the fuselage, Asus X751L provides DVD burning CD-ROM and power interface, from the number and variety of interface, Asus X751L basically meet the daily use, but the interface layout is not reasonable. Design of low-key and simple interface focused on the left side of the fuselage design low-key and simple interface on the left side of the fuselage shape design, shape design, low-key low-key simple simple
Although equipped with a 17 inch wide screen, but the ASUS X751L is not particularly big, 25 ~ 33mm thickness of the body looked okay, 2.6kg weight or backpack carrying. ASUS X751L home entertainment, it is not like the same size as the processor is equipped with high-end gaming notebook top and top alone, but chose to compare the benefits of the fourth generation Intel core i5-4210U low power processor, NVIDIA GeForce 840M graphics card, 4GB memory, 1TB large capacity mechanical hard disk, the overall performance can basically meet the needs of daily use. 1TB hard disk storage space is relatively abundant.

But Asus X751 also has some shortcomings, first of all the interface configuration although it is relatively abundant, but the layout is compact, and the left side of the fuselage; secondly, it provides only 4GB of memory, although the basic operation is similar enough, but it is best to upgrade to 8GB.
As Asus carefully built a new masterpiece, X751LN not only has a 17.3 inches FHD Full HD screen, but also strong with Intel fourth generation Haswell platform of i5 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT840M, and 1TB was extreme defended large hard drives and other high-end configuration.

Awful Play Call Dooms Seahawks
Deryk Quakenbush
While the first half of the Super Bowl wasn't necessary thrilling, it was a solid, competitive game throughout.
It was the last two minutes however, that will be remembered by all the players and fans.
Pete Carroll had his second consecutive Super Bowl championship in the palm of his hands.
The Seattle Seahawks had marched down the field in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter thanks to a miraculous circus catch on the sideline by Seattle wide receiver Jermaine Kearse.
On the next play, third-year superstar Russell Wilson handed it off to Marshawn Lynch.
The Seahawks position could not have been any better.
They only had half a yard left until they were in the end zone.
The next play will have a play in Super Bowl lore for years to come.
Carroll called a pass.
With only half a yard to go, Wilson threw a slant pass over the middle.
The pass was picked off on the goal line by undrafted, rookie, defensive end Malcolm Butler.
With New England's backs now against the wall, the teams lined up with the ball on the half yard line.
The Patriots knew that if they wanted to avoid a safety, future Hall of Fame quarterback, Tom Brady, was going to have to sneak a run up the middle.
Seattle defensive end Michael Bennett jumped off-sides early, giving the Patriots the five yards of extra space they needed to kneel the ball and clinch Super Bowl XLIX.
When it was all said and done, Tom Brady was crowned MVP, going 37-50, throwing for 328 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Russell Wilson ended with a final tally of 12-21, 247 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Mid-State Fair
Don't want to wait in line for a ride at the Mid-State Fair? There's a wristband for that
California Mid-State Fair-goers looking to avoid long lines in the high heat have a new option this year: Buy a wristband and skip the lines.
The "WOWXpress wristband" costs an additional $15 more than the regular unlimited-ride band, which costs $35 if bought the day of the fair. The fair will limit the number of these new wristbands to 25 percent of the estimated wristband sales for that day. So if the fair anticipates selling 1,000 wristbands in a given day, no more than 250 of them will be WOWXpress bands.
"Every ride has a second WOWXpress entrance that allows guest to cut out the long lines in the evenings and on the weekends," according to a fair statement. "One WOWXpress holder will be allowed on the ride for every four guests in the regular line."
The 2017 fair runs from July 19 to July 30. More information is available at www.midstatefair.com.

Adventure of the Week: It's all ducky at decoy show
Little piles of moist mud stabbed with paper feathers could be good enough for decoys, even for the modern hunter.
"We were hunting for ducks," says Chester Wilcox, recalling a decade-old excursion. "I kept on saying to my friend, 'No way that's going to work.' "
Wilcox's friend must have endowed the mud with the breath of life, because the ducks gathered overhead as if there were a convention.
Wilcox constructs decoys – and they, too, come to life. He delicately carves fine wood to produce bird replicas of all sorts, including pintail ducks, mallards and woodpeckers, among many others that fill his menagerie. He'll be one of many artists who will display their work this weekend at the 39th annual Wildlife Art Festival in Sacramento, one of the oldest such affairs west of the Mississippi.
As original folk Americana, with roots going back thousands of years to creations of tule and reed made by Paiute Indians, decoys are coveted by birdwatchers and hunters for their beauty and tradition – not to mention their practicality.
But enthusiasts mainly flock to the show because they just can't get enough exposure to the outdoors and avian wildlife, says association member and decoy artist Jim Burcio.
"If you can carve something that's really birdie, people are going to come to you – as if you had a puppy in your arms," Burcio says. "If you're putting up a good representation of that bird, people are going to 'ooh' and 'ahh.' "
Outdoor lovers like Wilcox don't always see a bird in flight for long enough. Nor can they visually capture all the unusual ways a bird spreads its wings when it swoops and turns. After a glimpse, the intimate details of a bird seemingly vanish into the sky.
"The best (decoys) look unbelievably realistic," says Wilcox, who will turn 70 Saturday. "In some cases, they look better than the real bird."
It's the passion for realism and attention to detail that glues collectors, woodcarvers and festivalgoers.
Wilcox's hunting and carving experience spans more than 60 years. His love affair demonstrates the appeal and patience needed to produce the art. Some of the finer pieces, painted by hand and airbrush, can take more than 100 hours to complete and sell for thousands of dollars.
The popularity of decoy art regionally began in 1971 with about a dozen dedicated hunters who carved their way into a sort of Renaissance. True art was being pushed around by fake plastic renderings. So the group that initially used decoys for hunting began holding competitions, starting in Emeryville. After a nomadic beginning, the festival finally settled in Sacramento in 1982.
The Pacific Flyway Decoy Association, which sponsors the event, offers seminars year-round in beginning woodworking in Sacramento, Davis and Galt. Wilcox, an association board member, operates a decoy-supply store from his Citrus Heights home.
But the highlight of the association's year is the festival. All ages are welcome at the event, which will include mini-seminars and competitions, and even activities for children.
Wilcox recommends that children interested in decoys start with a bar of soap and a Popsicle stick. Before long, their art will take flight.

Hillsborough United Methodist Church, ca 1860
"The new building was completed in 1860. Its high elevation, tall windows, tower, and steeple make it a graceful church building. Captain Berry's use of white trim against red brick gives it a Georgian quality and definitely relates it to the old courthouse. The louvered shutters, galley, original pews, and antique pulpit with fluted columns give interest to the interior of the church. The original building (sanctuary/narthex/balcony/basement) designed by Captain Berry remains intact. When the church was built, the floor slanted down toward the pulpit. A large stove was located at the back of the church. There was another stove where the organ is now located. The pews and pulpit date back to this time.
A local legend tells that during the Civil War, when the Confederates found that they needed more cannons to hold their lines, they asked the church to donate the bell to be melted and added to their cannon supply. The church declined the proposition."

The History of Queen's Cross
One consequence of Glasgow's extraordinary growth in the late 19th century was a wave of new church building undertaken to meet the needs of an expanding population – Queen's Cross accommodated a congregation of 820!
In 1896, the Free Church of St Matthew, Glasgow, commissioned a new church and hall from the experienced Glasgow architectural practice of Honeyman & Keppie, to be located in the developing area of Springbank, near Maryhill. John Honeyman allocated the job to his young, talented, trainee architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The site was a tricky one, being bounded on two sides by busy roads, and butted by tenements and a large warehouse. In keeping with their beliefs, the Free Church required simplicity in design. The foundation stone was laid on 23 June 1898 and the building opened for worship on 10 September 1899.
The construction of Queen's Cross was contemporary with the first phase of Mackintosh's masterpiece, The Glasgow School of Art (1897–9). It reveals a sophisticated handling of form, ornament and symbolic meaning, even at this relatively early date. Dr Thomas Howarth, Mackintosh's first biographer, wrote of the church, 'the building possesses a warmth and charm conspicuously absent from many churches of the period due largely to the traditional simplicity of Mackintosh's architectural forms and to the mysticism and spirituality of his decorative motives.'
In 1929 the Free Church was reunited with the Church of Scotland which assumed ownership of Queen's Cross. In 1976, following a decline in numbers, the congregation merged with that of nearby Ruchill Church and vacated the building. The following year, the newly-formed Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society took on the building as its headquarters and has cared for it ever since. In 1999 a generous gift from Dr Howarth enabled the Society to purchase the church. A key mission of the Society is to continue to care for and share this wonderful building with as wide a public as possible.

Baptismal Font at Duke Chapel
I finally made it over to Duke Chapel to take some new photos of the baptismal font I designed when working at Eason & Farlow Design. The Gothic style font is carved from quarter-sawn white oak and features a hand hammered sterling silver basin with an overlaid cross pattern. Duke Chapel had never had a baptismal font until this was commissioned in the early 2000s. Our goal was for it to appear as if it had always been there, fitting in perfectly with Julian Abele's 1932 masterpiece.

St. Paul's Episcopal Church - Greenville, NC
"The new building's acoustics are suitable for the St. Paul's choir and the East Carolina University (ECU) School of Music.
The new worship space for St. Paul's Church, Greenville, N.C., was consecrated by the Rt. Rev. Clifton Daniel III, Bishop of East Carolina, Feb. 28. Planning for the new church began some years ago, when it became apparent that the existing building could no longer accommodate a fast-growing congregation.
When the present rector, the Rev. Canon C. Thomas Midyette III, newly designated canon theologian for the diocese, came to the parish in 1994, it was with the specific understanding that fund raising would begin immediately for the new church. Construction began in the summer of 1998. The bishop celebrated the first Eucharist in the new building on Christmas Eve. It seats more than twice the number of worshipers as the old building and is fully accessible to persons with physical handicaps.
A particular feature of the new church is the three stained glass rose windows created by artist Brenda Belfield, designer of the "Space Window" at Washington National Cathedral. Another feature is the new building's acoustical richness. "It was designed very specifically for the acoustics," said parish member David Crean. With a planned reverberation of some 3.5 seconds, it will be especially suited to the talents of the St. Paul's choir and the East Carolina University (ECU) School of Music, which will use the space for an additional recital hall. ECU is collaborating in a fund-raising campaign to enable the building of a 60-rank Fisk organ for the building."

Everything I did as a kid is now waaaaaaay too dangerous. We all know about playing alone outside, bike riding without a helmet, skateboarding, arc welding and petting stray dogs ... but now ... from the joy that is Health Day News ... digging holes in the sand can kill:
Digging Holes in the Sand Can Be DeadlySo, as I said, no wonder kids today stay in the house and play video games. They can't do anything else.
WEDNESDAY, June 20 (HealthDay News) -- Digging that hole to China on a sandy beach is a summertime rite of passage for many kids. But a new report reveals that those holes -- even fairly shallow ones -- can collapse and kill.
By sifting through news reports and other sources, researchers found 52 cases of sand-hole collapses in the United States and three other countries -- Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand. Sixty percent of the victims -- 31 people -- died, while many of the others needed rescuing and CPR.
There may be many more cases that weren't reported, said report co-author Dr. Bradley Maron, an internal medicine resident at Boston University Medical Center. "We're trying to increase awareness of something that's generally not associated with a life-threatening event," he said. When people are on the beach, "their concern for safety is directed toward the water," he noted.


text: Jennifer Lawrence The week's best dressed By Lauren Smith 22 Nov 2013 Check out the best dressed stars of the week all in one place. Leighton Meester Hmmm, we're not sure this is the way to DO matchy-matchy prints. Maybe slim-fit trousers would have looked better on Leighton (although we love the rose/striped pattern). Florence Welch DO go covered up with your partywear this season - we can't all have a wardrobe of Valentino like Florence Welch, but Topshop and ASOS have plenty of cute long-sleeved frocks on the high street. Millie Mackintosh DO whip out your faux fur jacket now winter's really here - we heart Millie's shaggy version. Cara Delevingne From the NASA t-shirt and jogging bottoms, to the beanie hat and printed bomber, we DON'T expect anything less from Tomboy style icon Cara. Georgia May Jagger Cara's BFF, Georgia May Jagger on the other hand, is DO-ing a more sophisticated look - this strapless leather frock teamed with Thomas Sabo jewels is super elegant. Jennifer Lawrence We DON'T think we've seen a bad outfit on J Law on her Hunger Games promotional trail - this camel coat looks cosy and chic. Karlie Kloss Karlie Kloss (and her cute bob) is one of our fave supermodels, but we DON'T love the ruched detailing at the front of her lace and silk gown. Karolina Kurkova DON'T listen to your Mum's advice - black and blue will always do in our eyes - just check out Karolina's chic look. Leigh Lezark DON'T think the polo neck trend is for you? Hopefully Leigh Lezark's short-sleeved top teamed with a leather pencil skirt will change your mind. Kate Bosworth Redefining fierce fashion in Fendi, Kate Bosworth steps out in a Swarovski-studded mini with Louboutin heels – DOing metallics with confidence. Elizabeth Banks We love Elizabeth's fashion gusto, but an embellished genie suit is a big move - DON'T undertake it lightly – or, with a peplum for that matter. Freida Pinto From her embroidered waistcoat to her silky merlot coloured trousers, Freida Pinto is all kinds of DO at the Coach boutique opening in Madrid. Jena Malone Coming over all 50s in a prim collared white and slate grey dress, Jena Malone wins top DO on the Hunger Games red carpet last night. Maybe it's her megawatt smile or her perfect posture, but this has got to be her best look yet, no? Jennifer Lawrence Jennifer Lawrence has been on a sartorial high of late, and we DON'T think she'll be slowing her roll anytime soon. Exhibit A: A sheer + lace all-black ensemble with a biker jacket for good measure – love! Kristen Wiig Forget all-black all winter and DO make like Kristen Wiig, who's wearing a J Mendel shift, and opt for a frock that mixes statement hues and on-trend textures. Pixie Lott When you find your perfect colour, like Pixie Lott, DO commit to it. This simple v-neck dress with matching lippy and a black-framed handbag is on-point for evening. Poppy Delevingne This feels so summery, so stripy, so girly and we DO think Poppy's pulled off this tent-like silhouette with aplomb. Attempt at your own risk, but it's a surprise favourite for the season. Winona Ryder Winona Ryder's tousled ponytail is a hit in the GLAMOUR office, but we DO wish she'd spice up her LBD style with a colourful clutch or a bold cuff. Kim Kardashian At first glance, Kim K's furry coat looked a little woolly mammoth to us, but on closer inspection we DO want to cosy up in it this week. #coatenvy Miranda Kerr Miranda Kerr hits the red carpet in David Koma and Christian Louboutins, proving pastel blue + white = the surprise DO of the season. Victoria Beckham Wearing all black? DO take it from the LBD expert, Victoria Beckham (wearing her own design), and mix textures – like silk charmeuse and crepe – for a more elegant finish on a familiar favourite. PS - she's wearing Harry Winston bling. Eva Longoria Sheer is one of winter's sexiest styles, but if it's too show-and-tell for you, DO give it a go in black. Eva Longoria, wearing a gown by her pal Victoria Beckham, works the trend with a lacy bra for extra oomph. Kristen Bell What DO we like more than a full-skirt for evening? Not much, when it looks as chic as Kristen Bell's Sachin + Babi frock equipped with snowflakes (how very on-theme) and accessorised with Louboutins, natch. Kelly Osbourne Wearing a short-sleeved sweater and 50s skirt, Kelly Osbourne shows us how to DO retro right. Uma Thurman Uma Thurman's layered on her black separates, but we still DON'T think leggings have a place at a splashy evening do. Olivia Palermo DON'T forget that while you can wear all the gorgeous coats and boots in the world no-one will be looking at your outfit when your dog is this cute. Enter Olivia Palermo's little pooch, Mr. Butler. Christina Hendricks DO follow Christina Hendrick's lead and copy this fresh take on the shoulder-robing trend. This sequinned cardigan is a great alternative to a bulky coat. Garcelle Beauvais Nilon Garcelle Beauvais Nilon's mid-length leather skirt and canary yellow jumper is a masterclass in understated elegance. DO copy this look, stat! Fearne Cotton Although it's tempting to do so, DON'T just wear dark colours in the winter months; bright pops of colour and pale hues can make a real style statement in the grey months. Just ask Fearne Cotton who looks great in these slate trousers and cream faux fur coat. Cat Deeley DO trade in your black leather biker jacket for something a little fruitier, like Cat's berry-hued one. Jessica Pare DO Jessica Pare and her Mad Men co-star share the same togs? If that statement cardigan is anything to by, they must do. That aside, style points to the actress for trying out a new style with this vampy retro look. Gemma Arterton Thank you Gemma for reminding us that a mini + statement necklace + tailored jacket = a stylish staple you can return to every winter. DO make sure that you invest in all three pieces this season. Sienna Miller Proving that she's well and truly got her fashion mojo back, Sienna Miller's printed dress complete with furry jacket and thick black opaque tights is a smart staple look for the chilly months. DO, DO, DO! Elizabeth Banks The Hunger Games girls sure DO know how to make a splash on the red carpet and this tangerine-hued column gown is one of Elizabeth Banks' best looks to date. Kylie Jenner We love, love, love Kylie Jenner's slate dress with halter-neckline detailing, but calf-length boots are notoriously tricky to pull off with jeans, let alone with a statement dress on the red carpet – and alas, these lace-up booties just DON'T do it for us. Sorry, Kylie. Kiernan Shipka At only 14-years-old, Kiernan Shipka has already carved out quite the style icon status for herself – and it's not hard to see why. This adorable black dress with cutesy green embellishment and nude heels is a major DO in our books. Naomie Campbell Still no sold on sheer? DO give mesh a go – Naomi Campbell's ladylike dress with sparkling overlay is divine. Ellie Goulding DO follow in Ellie Goulding's fashionable footsteps and opt for an embellished cheque shirt for a glamorous alternative to this season's tartan. Mary Charteris DO try and find a jacket exactly like this one Mary Charteris is wearing and then buy it (because that's exactly what we're currently doing). Poppy Delevingne Props to Poppy D for working some excellent knitwear on the red carpet. We love how she's teamed the chunky woolly with a slimline silhouette at the bottom and some fantasy fur over the top. In short, a DO. Kate Bosworth You know how much we DO love a picture print. Follow Kate Bosworth's lead and pair a playful pinafore with a smart button-down shirt for a feminine finish. Victoria Beckham We love a good evening suit, but Victoria Beckham's taking tailoring to a new level in this deconstructed monochrome outfit. DO it like a pro and try a long-line blazer for best effect. Elizabeth Olsen Modelling various shades of blue, a glossy blow-dry, and an oh-so perfect bowling bag, Elizabeth nails off-duty attire. It's style the Olsens DO so well. Caroline Flack Sporting one helluva of an autumn DO, Caroline Flack's fashion-forward winter look – oxblood knit and matching bag, smart trench, cropped trews, a cosy beanie and those shoes! – is reminding us why we love layering up this season. Chanel Iman Searching for your perfect party dress? DO look to catwalker Chanel Iman for inspiration. A silver mini with ankle-strap courts only requires a bit of red lippy and a tousled up-do to shine. January Jones January Jones pairs a chunky knit with cropped cords and brogues, all in a neutral colour palette that works well enough for winter. Though with all of these trendy textures, DON'T tuck in your top – loose layers are meant to overlap. Winona Ryder Welcome back, Winona. The Black Swan actress goes for girly in a fit-and-flare frock. An up-DO or statement accessories would have finished off this look just right. Angelina Jolie Accepting an honorary Oscar for her humanitarian work, Angelina Jolie wows in a Swarovski crystal-embellished gown by Atelier Versace, looking elegant and glamorous, DON'T you think? Naomie Harris Lovely Naomie Harris lights up the red carpet in a jewel-encrusted Burberry Prorsum design, which is quite stately from the front, with its high neck and cap sleeves, but DON'T miss the best bit: a deep open back. Work! Amy Adams Sometimes sleek and simple is the best thing to DO – just ask Amy Adams, who has styled out her plum Vivienne Westwood frock with drop earrings and a box clutch. Victoria Beckham If you're looking to spruce up your winter wardrobe with minimum effort, DO invest in a super-chic black coat. We love VB's double-breasted number. Anne Hathaway When it comes to winter dressing, DON'T discount florals altogether. Anne's long black printed skirt she wore for a birthday dinner is perfection. Jennifer Lawrence J-Law is truly on fire. The Hunger Games star, wearing yet another Dior dress, has inspired us to give pleats another go. DO note the silhouette - a nipped-in waist will create definition instead of a fuller shape. Elizabeth Banks A navy column gown equipped with a beaded neckline and a feather peplum sounds a bit OTT if you ask us, but DON'T write it off just yet. Elizabeth Banks shines in this fierce frock by Alexander McQueen, the design house that was responsible for many of her Catching Fire costumes. Ellie Goulding Navy: it's autumn's favourite colour (after pink, of course). DO skip black this season, a la Ellie Goulding, in favour of a new, night-time hue. Emma Stone That's a fresh way to DO suiting. Emma Stone opts for a bit of casual tailoring (we LOVE the slouchy, cropped cut of her trews) from Band of Outsiders with cherry red Kurt Geiger courts and sunnies for an easy-breezy look. Gwen Stefani Working it on the footy field, Gwen Stefani keeps it cool in laidback layers, but forget the rest, and check out that Christopher Kane camo coat – do, do, DO! Katy Perry DON'T forget the Girl Scout motto 'always be prepared'. Whether for a photocall in Munich or the visit of other-worldly beings… Katy's ready. Nikki Reed If clashing prints are a fashion phenomenon you refuse to recognise, DO take inspiration from Nikki Reed, who's wearing a Camilla and Marc dress with matching accessories, all colour co-ordinated down to her Giuseppe Zanotti heels. Helen Mirren Struggling to think of what to buy for your nearest and dearest this Christmas? DO consider giving the gift of Helen Mirren. She comes ready-wrapped in a pretty satin bow, and everything. Amber Le Bon Looking for a way to edge up your evening outfit? A leather jacket is a fashion failsafe, just watch how Amber Le Bon is DO ing it. Emma Roberts DO take your style lead from Emma Roberts this party season and secure a style win in a long-sleeved lace-detail LBD. The side-sweep is a winning party-season hairstyle, too.

How to write a blog-for reals.
I have written hundreds of blogs. Maybe thousands. They have all been filled with tidbits of wisdom, witty antidotes and loads of inspiration. They have had images that make one smile. A call to action that was clear. Readers walked away feeling a little lighter and filled with hope.
The problem is…they have all been in my head.
Confession time…this my very first time of putting my 7th grade typing skills to use and actually writing a blog. And I am going to hit "submit" when I am finished-I really am.
Why haven't I done it before, you ask? That is a very great question. The answer-I am regular. Normal. What do I have to offer the world that isn't already out there? Who would be inspired by a 45 year old "blogger" who is just now publishing her first blog?
So what made me finally do it? It hit me recently that perhaps there are many "regulars" out there that long to do something and just don't feel it will be any more amazing than anything else that is available to us at a click of a button (or even better, a voice command.) Here is the very real truth-only YOU are YOU. Only ME is ME (is that the right grammar?) We are the lead characters in our stories. We are the heroes and the villains. We are the Mary Berry's in our kitchens (my hubby is addicted to the Great British Bake Off) We are the Adam Levine's while singing in our showers. We are the Joanna Gaines in creating a home that makes us happy to be in. We are we.
So, how do you write a blog? To steal from my favorite running shoe, just do it. Just do it.
Yes, there is an incredible amount of helpful tips and ideas out there. We can spend hours reading and researching. I know, I have done it. And I think we should glean from others. I really do. I have come across some very helpful content. I particularly appreciated this and this (the for beginners in the title, caught my eye on this one). I am grateful for the wisdom of others. But wisdom does us nothing, unless we apply it, yes? Knowing how is great-it's even better when we do it.
So how do you write a blog-Just do it.
Talk to me people-what is it that you long to do? When you lie in bed at night and dream that secret dream, what is it that you dream of? What is stopping you? Come on-only you are you. You've got what it takes. We are in this together-Lets do it.
I know there are a lot of talented writers out there, who have worked HARD to get an education, to hone their talent: who has done the hard work. If you are one of them, please, please know this article is in no way meant to discredit you . I applaud you. I am grateful for you. I have more than likely read your work. (If I haven't, I would love to-send me a link) This article isn't for you. It's for the me's, the regulars. The afraids.

The other day I went to Hobby Lobby and I couldn't help myself. They had all these super cute wrought iron containers and they were 50-60% off!
This is a photo of one of them. I lined it with moss and bought this cute little fern to put in it. The photo doesn't show how this fern's wiry little arms move in the sweetest way in the wind.
More Hobby Lobby projects coming soon!

Understanding The Stages Of Sleep
Sleep is as essential as food to keep us alive. It is a biological process that cannot be substituted and to be healthy human bodies need to get a good night's sleep every night. Although sleep seems to be such a restful state, in reality our brain keeps working even when we sleep. Nowadays sleep issues are very common due to a range of reasons. Unhealthy lifestyle and stress are the main factors that cause sleep disturbances. Sleep cycle involves 5 series of stages that we are going through while sleeping and if one stage is disrupted it can disrupt the entire cycle. If you have trouble sleeping, understanding the stages of sleep will be very helpful in readjusting your sleep cycle. Read here to learn about the stages of sleep.
Stage 1
Stage 1 is a transition between waking and sleep. It is a stage of very light sleep where you can be easily awakened. Your muscle activity slows down here and eyes start moving slowly. It is a stage of falling asleep so it should last a couple of minutes, but if the person has difficulty falling asleep it will take longer. To help you fall asleep you need to make some behavioural changes and relax your mind and body very well before going to bed.
Stage 2
During stage 2 your heart rate slows and body temperature drops to prepare for the next stage which is deep sleep. Eyes stop moving and brain activity becomes slower. This stage lasts 5-10 minutes.
Stage 3 & 4
These are the stages of deep sleep. Here you body gets rest and energy. Your brain and muscle activity are significantly decreased with the long and slow delta waves beginning in the brain. When roused from this state a person will feel disoriented for a few minutes. During stage 4 the sleep is even deeper and here the unconscious activity of the night may occur, such as sleep walking or nightmares.
REM (rapid eye movement stage) is the deepest stage of sleep. During this stage your eyes move rapidly because of high brain activity. It is a stage when you have vivid dreams which you can then remember upon waking up. Heart rate and blood pressure increase, body temperature decreases, and muscles are temporarily paralyzed in this stage.
Insomnia and other sleep issues affect the sleep function thus we have an overall disruption in these stages. The most common problem is falling asleep, trouble passing through the first stage of sleep. Coming into a restful relaxed state before going to bed is what you need to achieve. But if you find it hard to relax you can try to buy Ambien or over-the-counter medications. Sleep aid will help you to get and stay asleep.
