Someone Left the Cake Out in the Rain
This statement is definitely less satirical and tongue-in-cheek than some of the others. It's also the first DIA piece to be "installed" in multiple locations throughout St. Louis.
For a little context, in 2014 St. Louis celebrated the 250th anniversary of its founding. In a somewhat uninspired move, a civic group decided to install 250 identical birthday cakes around the city, painted by different artists. 2014 also happened to be one of the darker moments for the region, as the events of Ferguson and Michael Brown rocked the city, laying bare some very deep scars the city needed (and needs) to confront. It was not the greatest time to celebrate our "birthday".
Regardless of your feelings about the cakes themselves, there's something rather depressing about leaving them around after the birthday is over. While some of them have been sold at auction or removed, others have just sat, long after 2014 ended. If we had chosen almost anything other than a b-day cake that proudly says "250" on it, maybe we could argue that they should stick around, but given the timely nature of the pieces, leaving them around just feels… sad. It is also a constant reminder of the events of 2014, and maybe then it is fitting that it is depressing.
As a sidenote, the civic organization that made these cakes owned the domain stl250.org, which they apparently failed to renew. It is now a Spanish-language porn/spam site. I wish that was a joke.
Someone Left the Cake Out in the Rain.
250 painted cake sculptures, installed in 250 "iconic" locations throughout St. Louis, ostensibly placed to commemorate the city's 250th "birthday" in 2014. Now, long after the "celebration" has ended, many of these cakes sit abandoned, bleaching and cracking in the elements. This citywide piece, created by the artist in tacit collaboration with the painters of these cakes, calls into question what we have to celebrate, and why. In addition to St. Louis' 250th birthday, 2014 also brought the death of teenager Michael Brown in nearby Ferguson, and an eruption unrest due to a legacy of racist policies and racial disparities. Birthdays, much like New Years, elicit both a desire to celebrate as well as reflect back on our accomplishments and failures. How did St. Louis get to where it was in 2014? By leaving these cakes to "spoil", exposed to the sun, wind, and rain, viewers are encouraged to look back on the failed promises of the past, while maybe, just maybe, making a birthday wish of their own for a more just, equitable future for all of St. Louis' residents.

You ever wonder about all those essentials oils out there and which is right for you. There are so many and pretty much all of them have some sort of health benefit. Whether it is soothing , relieving stress, or stimulating your hair follicles to help produce growth.
Essentials oils is not something that has just come around in the new age of natural living. No, but in fact essentials oils have been around for centuries to remedy a variety of ailments both physical and emotional.
For example some of the benefits of essentials include oils like peppermint which are great for digestion while others like grapefruit have been known to have fat melting properties.
I know that sounds all new because essentials are pretty much known to help produce a state of relaxation or calming.
But yes, there are many uses for essentials oils.
So here I am going to explain Four essentials oils to you and how to use them.
First on the list is: Rose Oil
Rose oil has several uses including being used as an antidepressant, anti-wrinkle, to treat chronic bronchitis and asthma and to help improve sexual potency. It's also used to induce calming and relaxation. And is said to be able to heal emotions and trauma by bringing warmth to the heart and soul.
Rose oil can also be used as a great spritzer right after a facial or even during.
It's often blended with other calming oils to produce an all encompassing calming effect and blends well with Patchouli, Cedarwood Oil, Bergamot,Sandalwood, Chamomile, and Ylang-Ylang. You can place it in a lotion and apply it directly to your skin.
Rose is great for massage oils and bath products. You can also place in a diffuser and enjoy the scent in a room that you find calming.
For instance your bathroom, bedroom or study.
Second on the list is: Lavender Oil
Lavender oil may be the most common essential oil used for relaxation. You can find it in the grocery store isles in lotions, bath gels, shampoo and even candles. Lavender is everywhere. In addition to being wonderful for relaxing and calming, lavender oil can be uses as an analgesic, diuretic, styptic, rheumatism, muscle pain, depression, headaches, hypertension, insomnia, stress and skin diseases.
I find that whenever my kids have a hard time going to bed or just to restless a nice warm bath and some quiet music does just the trick. If you're looking for some great music for kids imagery for kids does just the trick. Or, you might Mr. Relaxation, I play this in their room almost every night and they are out.
No joke!
Like Rose Oil, you can combine it in a number of personal care products, drip it into your bathtub, or you can place it in a diffuser and enjoy it throughout your home.

Third on the list is: Jasmine Oil
Jasmine has a most recognizable fragrance and is commonly used as an aphrodisiac, to treat headaches, for fatigue, to soothe coughs, to improve and tone skin and to calm menstrual issues. Jasmine is also tremendous oil for calming.
Yes, it is one of my favorite, great smell too!
While jasmine oil is more expensive than just about any other essential oil, it is very powerful oil. To use you can blend into personal care products like bath gels, massage oils and lotions or you can place a few drops of jasmine oil in a vaporizer and let it permeate your yoke. * Burners and vaporizers*
Burners are great for getting the effect going really fast some of my favorite include the Gifts & Decor Ceramic Mini Oil Warmer Trio Tea light Candle Holder Set brand. One great Vaporizer would be the Aura Cacia Diffuser – Aromatherapy Vaporizer with Oil.
Jasmine oil blends well with Bergamot, Rose, Sandalwood and Citrus oils.
Fourth on the list is: Chamomile Oil
Chamomile oil, both Roman and German, are wonderful for their calming and relaxing properties. They also help with treating PMS and other menstrual and menopausal problems and to heal and regenerate tissue.
Many practitioners recommend using Chamomile to treat irritable children and colicky infants. To use, blend in massage oil, place a few drops in the bath, blend into lotions and creams and place a few drops in a vaporizer or diffuser.
To create a powerful relaxing effect you can blend Chamomile with jasmine, lavender or rose oil.
Essential oils have many wonderful properties. Which fill your home with a sense of peace and calming, consider diffusing one or a blend of the above essential calming oils. And for those extra stressful days, add some to a bath or a vaporizer and enjoy the relaxing benefits.
Then don't forget that glass of wine to top it off.
I'm just saying.
P.S. I would love to know if you use essentials oils and which ones.

text: This gorgeous colonial has always been one of my favorite Brookland homes. Sure, it sits up high, has a handsome exterior and is nicely landscaped. But what really takes the cake is the AWESOME wrap-around deck. Check out how the deck is build around those amazing huge trees. Now, I know I am a sucker for lush, mature trees but these beauties are a sight to behold.


text: We have great news! Yes, for those if you who like to be seen driving an automotive symbol of superiority to their local yacht club, golf course or boulevard, Mercedes-Benz is prepping its latest chapter of luxurious transport – the 2015 S-Class Coupe. Now I have to admit past large Mercedes coupes have never really grabbed my attention (well apart from the glorious CL 65 AMG), yet they have always looked nice in a vanilla sense. However, in recent spy-shots, Mercedes-Benz has managed to capture my attention in what appears to be a compelling piece of rolling sculpture. So rather than showing an image full of black and white circles on a prototype vehicle, I've rendered something far more visually stimulating for our readers below. There is no doubt the initial reaction is of typical Mercedes-Benz design, yet the aesthetic boundaries have grown to reveal a much more sublime look than the outgoing car could ever muster. Elements of design are apparent from the Mercedes F700 concept car and the upcoming W222 S-Class sedan – the latter in particular shares its lower and upper side channels, starting from the headlights back to the rear fenders. Aston Martin-like prominent rear haunches help ground the car with a dynamic stance, whilst the rear loses its current upright tail lamps in place of sleeker, more horizontal LED clusters. Standing at the front will yield a refined, if slightly blunt view, with its strong MY2014 E-Class-like grille, LED headlights and prominent 3-Pointed star emblem. Inside, the svelte pillar-less greenhouse will be an interior similar in theme to the next S-Class sedan (pictured on the right); appearing more handcrafted with polished metal, hand stitched leather and real wood grain trim. Expected interior luxuries consist of a split-view, hi-resolution display for the speedometer, navigation and vast infotainment options. Audiophiles will appreciate the clear, ear-blasting Burmester sound and those with a penchant for arriving at their destination refreshed and relaxed, will love the energizing front seats and its hot stone massage feature. On the safety front, innovative features from the upcoming S-Class sedan will migrate to the coupe; those being Autonomous Driving assist – including Collision-Avoidance, and Park assist. Propelling the bodywork will be either a Twin-Turbo V8 or Twin-Turbo V12, and for those who like being transported in an insane manner can no doubt look forward to AMG's potent versions. We've heard rumors of a diesel-electric hybrid derivative for those who yearn for additional MPG whilst taking those long alternative routes; however, it is unclear if this setup will be confirmed. Its main competitors will include the Bentley Continental GT and possibly the Rolls-Royce Wraith, yet this latest edition has the promise of tackling even the likes of the Aston Martin DB9. As for how the latest coupe will be marketed – it is expected to drop the CL moniker for the slightly less confusing S-Class Coupe namesake, with a launch dated expected late next year. Overall, it shows huge promise with a much more athletic silhouette combined with leading safety assists and performance. How well it fares in the sales charts will remain to be seen, yet it has the potential to do quite well in such a niche segment. What do you think – winner or wallflower?

I'm not sure that they even use that Jailhouse anymore. The sign in the window says something about the Tweed historical society. I've been looking at the jailhouse as I passed through Tweed on roadtrips ever since I was a little kid. I'm glad we stopped and finally took a photo of it.

I live in Tweed! I love that this made it onto your website. Small world. Anyway, the jailhouse hasn't been used for a really long time. You can, however, go inside, & check out the whopping ONE jail cell! It's used for fundraisers & such, & you can learn a lot about the history. Hope you enjoyed this random tidbit of information : )

INDEPENDENCE – Students can now be excluded from extra-curricular activities in Grayson County if their cafeteria debt isn't taken care of.
Grayson School Board members voted this month to pass a new charge and collections policy for debt that has gotten out of hand.
The division's Director of Personnel, Judy Greear, approached the board during its regular meeting in September to discuss what she called a "spiraling problem" over the last few years – debt in the cafeterias.
HILLSVILLE — Carroll County Public Schools has received nearly $100,000 in school security equipment grants.
The grant awards are part of a $6 million grant disbursement approved by Gov. Terry McAuliffe in September. According to a news release, the grant funds were split to assist 100 school divisions in the state, as well as six regional education programs. Funds will help buy video monitoring systems, direct communications links between schools and law enforcement agencies and other security upgrades in 373 schools and other buildings.
The Galax City School Board on Tuesday voted unanimously to approve the purchase of a Kipling Lane property for the development of a new elementary school.
The board has discussed the possibility of building a new elementary and middle school on the site, which sits in a residential neighborhood in the Fries Road community.
INDEPENDENCE – Upgrades to the Grayson County High School bleachers have been put on hold indefinitely after initial costs estimates — and a potential budget shortfall for the school division — came in higher than expected.
Division Superintendent Kevin Chalfant updated the school board on estimated costs for the aging bleachers after receiving information from The Lane Group.
WYTHEVILLE — Wytheville Community College President Charlie White announced that he will retire effective June 30, 2015.
White has served as president since May 2006. He announced his plans to faculty and staff at a recent beginning-of-term meeting at the college.
White has worked in various positions within the Virginia Community College System since 1971, including a long period at New River Community College in Dublin.
Galax City Schools will offer remediation and enrichment for students next week, and again in February. Funded by a Virginia Department of Education planning grant, the programs are in their first year and school administration has high hopes for them.
"I don't know of anywhere else that's doing anything like this," said Assistant Schools Superintendent Rebecca Cardwell.
HILLSVILLE — Carroll County High School has received recognition by Virginia Living magazine as one of the top schools in the state.
CCHS will be featured in the publication's October edition, Director of School Improvement Beverly Adams-Parker said at the Carroll County School Board's Sept. 9 meeting.
Along with only 21 school divisions out of Virginia's 132 total, Galax City Public Schools achieved full accreditation from the Virginia Department of Education.
This information was released Sept. 16 by the VDOE.
The percentage of schools meeting state accreditation standards lessens for a second consecutive year as a result of the more rigorous reading, writing, science and mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) tests introduced since 2011, according to the VDOE.
CANA — When Special Education teacher Jacob Adams sat down on the chair in front of the St. Paul School entrance, he wasn't quite prepared for the bucket of bright green slime two students were holding just inches behind his head.
Outwardly, he remained calm until the mob of students flanking both entrances to the building started counting down in unison: "Five…Four…Three…Two…One!"
INDEPENDENCE – Falling enrollment in Grayson County could cause a more than $1 million school budget shortfall if things don't improve before the end of the year.
School Division Superintendent Kevin Chalfant told the Grayson School Board last week that, although things looked "pretty dire" at the beginning of the school year, enrollment has since come up a little.
The division started the year with only 1,693 students enrolled, but as of the latest numbers that had risen to 1,719.

How to Shop for Your First Kayak
The Hudson - History and Habitat
Page 6 of 8
Screw Rolls
The Screw Roll is the most commonly used roll of all because it is reliable, easy to learn and works in most circumstances. Most paddlers use a Screw Roll or some variant of it as their standard survival roll.
The sequence of movements is identical to the Pawlata described above except that hands remain in the normal paddling position on the shaft. The hip flick must be more effective than for the Pawlata, since less support is available from the shorter paddle lever, and it is even more important that the back hand is pushed clear of the hull to give the back blade space to move.
Like all rolls that are intended to be used in difficult situations, it should be learned on both sides. It is the basis for a whole family of rolls that can all be performed without moving the hands along the shaft.
Some beginners find it easier to learn the Screw Roll directly rather than pass through the Pawlata sequence.
Steyr Roll
The Steyr Roll is a reverse Pawlata. The paddle sweeps across the surface from the rear of the boat to the front and, in order to do this, the wind-up is performed differently.
From the Pawlata position the paddle is raised to the vertical; as it continues past the vertical it must be turned outward with the wrists until the position shown above is reached. To capsize, the paddle is pushed down towards the water and the body follows, arched backwards and to the side. The waist and hips act as a universal joint in a similar way to the Pawlata but, in this case, the body rotation is in the opposite direction to that of the boat, because the paddle is carrying out a reverse sculling sweep. The steyr is used as a training roll for the Reverse Screw Roll in the same way that the Pawlata is used for the Screw.
Reverse Screw Roll
The Reverse Screw Roll is used when for any reason the paddler has capsized and been pushed on to the back deck, or the paddle blade is at the back of the boat; typically this occurs if the boat capsizes over the paddle during a bow stroke. The wind-up position is reached in the same way as the wind-up for the Steyr. The roll can be particularly useful as a follow-on to a Screw Roll which does not quite bring the paddler back into balance: the blade position is quickly reversed and a Reverse Screw follows. More commonly, a Screw Roll backs up a Reverse Screw which fails.
Vertical Paddle Roll and C to C Roll
A number of rolls are possible using a vertical instead of a horizontal paddle. The hip flick action in this case pulls the boat underneath the body and the paddle provides the resistance. At first it seems impossible for a vertical paddle to provide the necessary support, but the principle becomes clearer if the boat is thought of as rolling around the hips and under the body. A simple draw or sculling draw action can be used. A combination of put across, screw and vertical paddle roll can be used as a good mobility exercise.
WARNING: The extended arm position shown here is much weaker than one in which the arms stay bent with the paddle parallel and close to the line across the shoulders. Applying excessive force while the arm is extended, especially if the pressure on the arm is also in a rearwards direction has been the cause of many shoulder dislocations among kayakers.
The paddler starts sitting upright in his boat, with his paddle horizontally above his head. For a recovery on the right the right arm is pushed up to full extension and the left arm retracted to the shoulder, until the paddle shaft is almost vertical. The paddler capsizes to the right, holding this position until the blade touches the water. As the blade touches the water a reverse hip flick (pulling the kayak over on top of the paddler) keeps the paddle and upper body near the surface while the boat completes the capsize. The boat is then hip flicked up while, at the same time, the right arm is pulled in towards the hip and the left arm extended to full stretch. There is very little rotation of the waist in this roll; instead the hip flick is generated by a sideways bend at the waist.
The C to C Roll uses a sweep of the paddle out from the bow of the kayak followed by this same pull down movement. Although the initial action of the paddle makes it appear to be a Screw Roll, it is actually more of a Put Across/Vertical Paddle roll.
Storm Roll
The storm roll may be performed as a Pawlata or as a Screw roll. The wind-up positions are the same except that in each case the edge of the forward blade is angled in towards rather than away from the boat. After capsize, the blade is pulled in a vertical arc from bow to stern and becomes a long vertical sculling draw rather than a horizontal sculling sweep. The storm roll is to the vertical paddle roll what the pawlata is to the put across. It is impractical on rivers because of the depth needed for the paddle, but a study of film taken in Greenland shows that it is the preferred roll of the Angmassalik Inuit. The observer can recognise a storm roll by the pronounced lift of the bow as the roll begins.
Hand Roll
If a good hip flick is developed then the boat can be rolled upright using the hands. In the sequence shown the flick action is important as enough momentum must be given to the boat to lift the body clear after it breaks surface. The top hand is often thrown across to increase the momentum. As with the paddle rolls, the body recovery can be in forward or backward positions. Alternatively, if the position of the body close to the kayak and the buoyancy forces are used to full effect, then a very graceful roll can be achieved with only a small hand movement.
Many paddlers can perform one-handed rolls, with the other hand held inside the spray cover, and stories are even told of rolls performed without any use of the hands at all. The ability to hand roll can be more than a stunt. In Kayak Polo players often lose their paddles and capsize when shooting for goal, and even on the roughest rivers a hand-roll will sometimes buy enough of a respite to enable the bank to be reached, or a dropped paddle to be regained. Training to hand roll is progressive, with less and less buoyant or resistant objects being used as the support for the hip flick until, finally, the hands alone are needed.
Other Rolls
The experienced roller uses a variety of techniques and combinations of moves to right the boat. The position and feel of his paddle following capsize and his knowledge of the water conditions tell him what he must do in order to bring himself upright. In general he pulls his body to the surface using the waist, knees and hips and then uses the paddle to prevent the body from sinking during the hip flick. This movement enables the body to be brought back over the boat during the follow through. The rolls listed here are merely some of the separately identifiable types that may be used to achieve this.

I just got my BOI magazine and had to laugh at Johnny's quote regarding the short program at Nationals.
I thought it was funny that last year my short program was pretty much the same and I got 4s in my score, but this year I got 5s.
Yes Johnny, the judging can be funny.
He had some other quotes on getting 6.0's in the LP, but those have already been used in online articles.
The magazine also had something to say about Matt Savoie's SP marks.
ITA on all counts. All in all, it was a good recap of Nationals.Matt Savoie followed with one of the most beautiful SPs of the evening to Adagio for Strings. His triple Axel was one of the best and so was the triple flip-triple toe combination. The other elements were woven faultlessly withing the program, but his marks were disappointing for such a wonderful performance. No 6s here and marks as low as 5.1 for technical merit and 5.4 for presentation were ridiculously low. He was ranked fourth.

I've been living in Brisbane for the past few months and now am starting to plan my travels for early march! My plan is to do Byron bay - Cairns (probably on a hop on hop off bus, but maybe rent a car) spending around 2-3 weeks and then fly down and do Melbourne/sydney! Then on to NZ for around 4 weeks (doing both the north and South Island), was thinking of possibly doing kiwi experience but not sure because there seems to be really mixed reviews!
Anyone have something similar in mind? Would love to find some travel buddies ahead of time

So….the blog is basically dead because for two years….I have ignored it. It is so weird that all a sudden one day I stopped. I blogged for years under different platforms and it actually helped alleviate stress.
But the time it takes to put your words and a few photos on paper were overwhelming.
And then….
All a sudden one day I was paranoid. Paranoid about the things I wrote about, paranoid about the photos I posted, paranoid about someone using my words against me and all a sudden I stopped and sadly along with it, I stopped shooting so many fab photos.
And I have felt bad ever since.
Why? Because I have missed my blog, my camera, my thoughts, my reflections and just being back in the game.
I miss writing about my kids and our ups and downs and all of the amazing people who influence me.
Really…..Do people even blog anymore?
For me this wasn't about income like many bloggers but about mental space. Social media gave me that micro platform to let out my nuggets of brain power.
But now I feel like I want to go deeper again….we have lots of things coming up that I want to share!
Here is to a new start…a fresh start.
Be patient…be kind….

Editorial Cartoon: 'Hillary for president.'
by Marshall Ramsey
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., former U.S. Sen. John Edwards, a man in a top hat holding a paper that says 'polls' and a man in suit labeled 'media' are gathered around a fresh grave with a tombstone that says: 'Hillary for president.' A dirt-covered Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., taps the media guy on the back, shows him a paper that says: 'N.H. win.' She says: 'Ahem.'

Ubuntu is Just All Right with MeSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Wed, 2010-08-04 10:15. Canonical | CentOS | Fedora | Red Hat | Ubuntu
If you know me, you know I'm a Red Hat / Fedora fanboy. I have written a blog post that explain why I'm fond of them and when someone asks me, I refer to it.
Recently a GNOME survey (aka the Neary report) came out that showed who contributes to GNOME and at what levels. Not so oddly enough the results of it turned out similarly to periodic Linux kernel surveys done by LWN and Greg KH. The results being that Red Hat is the top named contributor.
It just so happens that Canonical (the sponsor of Ubuntu) typically does not fair so well on such surveys and as a result they are often criticized for their perceived lack of upstream contributions.
Building a Fedora 13 Beta RemixSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Sat, 2010-05-01 09:21. Fedora | MontanaLinux
From attending Jesse Keating's talk about the upcoming features in Fedora 13 I learned that the rawhide repository has been split in an effort to provide a more stable build environment for Fedora releases. I also learned that it is a good idea to disable the updates-testing repo to help avoid potential breakage. Jesse also said that at some point during the upgrade cycle that the Beta will turn into the release version. With the new information, I decided that it wasn't too early build my MontanaLinux Fedora remix.
I had installed the Beta on a couple of physical and virtual machines and was fairly impressed with it so I decided to go ahead with the remix effort. First I would have to find all of the repository URLs to pull the packages from. That wasn't too difficult... just look at the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ on a Fedora 13 Beta system.
To save on bandwidth over many builds I decided to rsync the entire development tree down so I would have a local copy. The i386 devel tree is about 19GB with 16,787 packages. The x86_64 devel tree is 21GB with 20,811 packages. I also have to rsync every day or two to keep up with package updates.
The RPM Fusion folks already have packages for Fedora 13 and the existing Adobe packages work fine on the Fedora 13 Beta as well so the this remix will be pretty close my previous remixes.
I am building from within a Fedora 13 Beta KVM virtual machine. I composed the first build yesterday and installed it on my netbook last night. I have noticed a few glitches in my initial package selection. For example I installed sugar* and that brought all of the sugar packages including sugar-logos which is a boot-time Plymouth animation. As a result, booting my netbook for the first time after install showed the Sugar animation which I wasn't expecting at all. Also the number of packages I had was right on the edge of 2GB and I wanted to insure that it would continue to fit on a 2GB USB thumbdrive... so I decided to update the package set. I decided to remove sugar completely because that would free up some room and get rid of unwanted boot animation.
I'm doing a second compose right now. We'll see how that turns out.

Func: Fedora Unified Network ControllerSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Thu, 2010-03-18 14:47. Fedora | Red Hat
I recently started using a tool that I find very handy. It is named func and it is a remote api for management, configuration, and monitoring of systems. What does that mean exactly? I'll get into that but first a little background.
In my day job I manage a number of Linux systems. Some are servers and more are desktop machines in labs used by students. All of the lab machines are triple-boot (Windows XP Pro, CentOS 5.4, and Fedora 12). Fedora has a lot of updates... and it is hard to keep up with them. Typically I have to ssh into each machine to work on it but most of what I do is the same thing over and over again. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to manage multiple machines at once with one command line? That is what func does for you. func allows you to manage remote machines with one command line in parallel.
func was written by Fedora developers mainly to help them manage the server infrastructure that makes up the Fedora distribution's online public servers and build systems. They have an active mailing list that you are encouraged to participate in if you are interested in asking questions and helping to shape the future development of func.
func is written in Python and comes with a number of modules that are custom built for certain tasks. If there is an existing module for your task(s), use the existing module. If not, you can use the command module which basically allows you to run whatever command(s) you want on your remote machines.
Opinion: Fedora Lacks an Update PolicySubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Sun, 2010-02-28 12:17. Fedora | opinion
I periodically check out Fedora Planet and today I noticed a big post by Josh Boyer entitled, "Why Fedora needs an Updates Policy". I left a medium-sized comment there that I decided to post here as well.
It is working pretty well without a policy... but that isn't to say that a policy isn't needed, because it would be good to have an update policy. I however like the rapid pace of updates and version churn in Fedora and I think the codification of an update policy would be slanted to always favor more conservative updates.
I like that Fedora updates KDE every time there is a new release from the KDE project. I like how I can get newer versions of things as they appear... and yes it will sometimes lead to breakage, but that was one of the charms of Fedora. On the other hand it seems that some packages are constantly updated, like every other week. That may be an exaggeration but sometimes it feels like that.
Ideally there would be a conservative updates repo and a newest-stuff repo... but I'm sure that would be more work than your already overworked group of Red Hat employees and Fedora volunteers would want to take on... and I don't blame them.
Given the rapid 6 month development cycle of Fedora and the limited lifespan of any given release... the better answer, if stability is the considern, would be to lengthen the development release cycle... but no one wants to do that, right? Another solution would be to have stated LTS releases every couple of releases, but again... that idea has been batted around several times and dismissed.
It seems many wish something would fall between the rapid development cycle of Fedora and the slow development cycle of RHEL. I don't see how that is going to happen.
Not having an update policy and the recent complaints about it will be something that is heavily criticized by those from other distros and the Linux press... but it doesn't mean that the system you have been working with and the decisions you have been making haven't been working well enough. Package makers are supposed to submit their stuff to testing, people are supposed to test and provide feedback, and only when a package is deemed sufficiently ready should it be considered. I think it is better to leave it up to the package maintainers themselves on what version of a piece of software they want to release... unless of course is an underlying package that disrupts things above it... and you have tried to address that by identifying core/critical packages and putting more rules on their being updated.
I would hope any update policy Fedora comes up with would retain the current flavor of Fedora with rapid and constant updates... rather than being stuck with older releases of things when upstream has fixed a lot of bugs and released newer versions with additional features. If you don't retain that quality then it will just encourage the development of yet more third-party repositories with newer software and just make an even bigger mess. This gets back to the seeming constant desire for Fedora to define itself and who it is targeting... and then potentially limiting itself to those more strictly defined goals. I for one like it fast and loose... but I'm just a user. :)
Fedora 12: Upgrading vs. Fresh InstallSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Tue, 2009-12-08 09:16. Fedora | MontanaLinux
I originally wrote this as a comment on LWN in response to a feature article Jon Corbet did entitled, "Between Fedora 12 and 13". It was basically Jon's review of his upgrade experience from Fedora 11 to Fedora 12 in which he claims that features don't matter, only the upgrade experience does. I felt compelled to comment.
- - - - -
I started writing a review of Fedora 12 a while ago but put it on the back burner as things came up... thinking the longer I wait to finish it, the more time I will have had with it... the more complete of a review I can do.
I don't really recommend upgrading to anyone... except under certain conditions. On servers where the package count is fairly low and the possibility of third-party add-on packages is low, upgrading has been painless for me for the last 5 or 6 releases I've been doing them.
On desktops where there is a large number of packages as well as a greater potential for third-party packages to be installed (think RPM Fusion for certain verboten media codecs and apps)... I don't upgrade.
Some Fedora related newsSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Wed, 2009-08-26 10:35. Fedora | OLPC
Just some news bytes I've run across recently.
Fedora 12 Alpha includes flavor of Moblin 2
Moblin is a "usage experience" originally designed by Intel for devices designed around their Atom CPU mostly available in Netbooks and other embedded devices. The Fedora Project is basically integrating the Moblin 2 userspace stuff into Fedora so it is a selectable desktop from the graphical login's Session menu. Fedora will probably create an official "mini" spin but that remains to be seen. For more info see: fedora mini alpha testing
New Fedora 11 release for OLPC X0-1 models
You might have already known that the OLPC project is working on an XO-1.5 unit with vastly faster hardware and more storage space and that they were going to change the software so that the OLPC user could switch between the Sugar Desktop and the Gnome Desktop if desired. Fedora/OLPC developer Steven Parrish has released an update for OLPC X0-1 laptops based on Fedora 11 which includes the Gnome Desktop stuff as well. For more info see: Announcing a new release of F11 for the XO-1 and F11 for XO-1
Now here's a video about what Moblin 2 is for anyone interested:
HOWTO: Linux on the Intel iMac - Triple bootingSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Thu, 2009-07-30 10:02. Fedora | Howto | Mac
Introduction - Why Macs?
I work as a System Administrator for a Computer Science Department and as a result I manage both server machines and lab machines. Some time ago the department decided (and I was in agreement) that it would be a good idea to offer the students additional variety in the computer lab by replacing some of the "Pee Cee" machines in the main undergrad lab with some Apple Macintosh systems. This would give students access to Mac OS X (pronounced "ten") in the lab in addition to Linux and Microsoft Windows.
Although Apple switched to Intel-based machines a few years ago, you can't just run their OS on any Intel/AMD machine as they have both licensing reasons and technical reasons why their OS should ONLY run on Apple hardware. They don't seem to be friendly to running Mac OS X inside of Virtualization either. Mr. Jobs, why do you hate us? I digress.
The first three years we had Macs in the lab they only ran Mac OS X and as time passed, fewer and fewer people used them. The usage slowdown was caused by a number of reasons that I'll not go into here. This year though, I decided not to give up on the Macs and to make them triple-boot... so if people don't want to use Mac OS X they don't have to, and the machines can get better utilization.
Screencast: Virtual Machine Manager, Fedora 11 PreviewSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Thu, 2009-06-11 16:52. Fedora | screencast
I've been doing quite a few Fedora 11 installs on various hardware in preparation for the review of I'm working on but I wanted to give a short glimpse of KVM in Fedora 11 with the Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager). I also show MontanaLinux (a Fedora 11 remix), some of the new features in Fedora 11 and some additional software.
For those running a browser that can do HTML 5's video tag (like Firefox 3.5 beta), you can watch the Ogg Theora version which is about 1/3 the filesize of the Flash version but bigger and better quality. Or download it: kvm-fedora11-preview-smaller.ogv (right-click, Save link as...)
Fedora 11 Has LandedSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Tue, 2009-06-09 14:42. Fedora
As has been widely reported, Fedora 11 came out today. This weekend I was fishing their mirrors and found a few open... which allowed me to get it earlier. I have created updated MontanaLinux builds for i386 and x86_64 based on Fedora 11 for anyone interested in that.
I installed Fedora 11 on my Acer Aspire One D150 netbook... and it solved all of the minor issues I was having with the previous release.
I also made pre-created OpenVZ OS Templates for Fedora 11 that I have uploaded to the contrib section.
How about a review? Well, since I've only been playing with it for a few days... I haven't had enough time to put it through the paces. Expect a review in a week or two.

By GINA VIVINETTO
© St. Petersburg Times, published January 29, 2001
TAMPA -- Surely it is listed in the Bible as a sign of the Apocalypse, right up there with the natural disasters: the joining together on one stage of those musical polar opposites, 'N Sync and Aerosmith.
MTV made it happen. At Super Bowl XXXV. The big game's halftime show at Raymond James Stadium, produced by the network, featured a wild hodgepodge of pop music's biggest names. Teen pop giants 'N Sync, snazzily dressed, got things started with a boundlessly energetic, typically choreographed and -- yes -- unlip-synched version of their smash Bye Bye Bye, only to be interrupted by flamboyant hard rockers Aerosmith leaping onstage and into their hit I Don't Want to Miss a Thing.
The two acts "dueled" between tunes, finally joining forces on Walk This Way, the Aerosmith crunchy guitar classic that's already been updated and properly hip-hopped by the band's 1980s collaboration with Run DMC. On Sunday, the song was given even more oomph as the two acts were joined by saucy, scantily clad teen pop diva Britney Spears, who strutted her stuff -- and held her own -- next to Aerosmith's long-haired, nasty ol' Steven Tyler.
The pastiche of pop grew even odder as the song coaxed soul singer Mary J. Blige, in leather pants and fur jacket, onto the fantastically lighted stage. Hip hopper Nelly was next to emerge. Pop fans in the know must have savored the sight of Spears sashaying across stage with newly close-cropped Justin Timberlake, of 'N Sync, her boyfriend.
Pyrotechnics and bursts of smoke capped off the set, which was met with wild applause and vigorous sign waving by the many 'N Sync fans that MTV bused in just for the halftime show.
The evening started out on a far more sober note with the planet's other most famous boy band, the Backstreet Boys, who came to sing the national anthem.
The quintet showed up in fashionable leather duds with edgy new hairdos and facial fuzz. They looked, frankly, like male models, which may have been a mistake, because the sports-loving, beer-guzzling football fans cooly received the act. In fact -- and this will break some hearts -- the Boys met with an unfortunate smattering of boos.
Backstreet, however, did our anthem proud. Although they had a taped musical accompaniment, the Boys performed the notoriously difficult tune live. By the end, they had even the beefiest guys in the stadium patriotically holding hands over hearts. Strident fireworks and a military flyover during those powerful lines about rockets' red glare and bombs bursting in air made the Boys' rendition one of the finest in recent memory.
The quickly paced pregame show also included a gorgeous rendition of America the Beautiful by the legendary Ray Charles. In a black suit with bright red ruffled shirt, Charles dazzled the crowd and had many in the stands singing along even before he asked them to do so. British rock star Sting also was there (heck, who wasn't?) for the pregame festivities to perform his hit, Desert Rose, with Algerian singer Cheb Mami and a field full of dancers swirling around in gold lame. That tune morphed into Roxanne (backed by dancers in red), the hit the singer scored with his former band, the Police.
A taste of Tampa came in an untelevised performance of Come Sail Away by classic rock act Styx, sans original lead singer Dennis De Young. It featured a Gasparilla theme with hundreds of dancers dressed as pirates firing faux guns and swashbuckling about. That song never seemed to lend itself to a pirate motif before, but on a musical day in which Justin Timberlake and Steven Tyler throw their arms around each other's shoulders and wiggle their hips together, truly anything went.
MTV kicked off the festivities with a 90-second, tongue-in-cheek film starring a moustachioed "halftime coordinator" played by Ben Stiller, who advised 'N Sync and Aerosmith on the proper stage moves to cement their partnership as " ' N Sync-osmith." Directed by Charlie's Angels auteur McG, the film also featured Adam Sandler (as choreographer and DJ Stanley Steamer) and Chris Rock clowning on the unorthodox pairing.

The EDC Bag (Every Day Carry Bag) is a day bag filled with the gear you carry every day. These packs are just an inconspicuous day pack like everyone carries around in the city…the main difference for survivalists is ours have survival gear in them. In case you don't know, a day bag (or pack) is a lightweight small pack that is taken with you wherever you go.
Think of the fanny pack, the messenger bag, or any other small backpack that can carry your daily needs. Now think of that being filled with some basic survival gear. These packs are generally for helping you get home in a crisis.
The survival gear checklist for an EDC bag should include the basics for survival. You could go with the bare minimum of survival gear; but including the basics won't hurt either. That way when you face a crisis, you will be better prepared.
Some suggested items to include in your EDC Bag:
This is very important, especially in climates that get cold.
- A simple space blanket or Bivy Sack will protect you from the wind and cold and could very well save your life when it is frigid outside. Both are lightweight and don't take up much space. Because it takes up the least room, the space blanket is a better fit for the butt pack, if that is your pack of choice.
- Add a poncho to make into a lean-to shelter to protect against wind and rain.
- Some 550 Paracord will help a lot when building your shelter.
- Duct tape will help repair it.
Food and Water:
- Pack some food bars or something similar.
- Include some water purification tablets.
- A canteen or Nalgene water bottle filled with water.
- A P-38 can opener for when you get lucky and find some cans of food.
- A spork will come in very handy too.
- Some snare wire to help you catch a protein meal.
- A Yo-Yo fishing reel to catch some fish.
First Aid:
- Include a basic pocket-sized first aid kit inside your bag. There are several soft sided first aid kits available for purchase, or you can put your own kit together.
- If you are putting your own kit together then first figure your needs, and how big of a kit you can include in your bag.
- In an Altoids tin you can put several Band-Aids, a couple of antiseptic wipes, a few pills such as Tylenol, and still have a little room to spare.
- You need a good led flashlight. I prefer the magnificent Fenix PD31.
- Headlamps are also a good choice and come in very handy when you need your hands free to work on something in the dark. Sure you can hold a flashlight in your teeth, but you will be much quicker and more efficient with a headlamp. Besides, you look silly with a flashlight in your mouth with drool dripping from your chin!
- Don't forget extra batteries.
- A couple of 12 hr lightsticks will be another smart addition to your kit.
Fire Starter:
- Always have a way to start a fire. Many people always carry a lighter with them.
- Other good fire-starters are waterproof matches, and a Firesteel.
- A candle, or a few solid fuel tablets will help you establish the fire in damp situations.
If the power goes out, the credit card machines won't work. I suggest $100-$200 cash.
Knife and/or Multitool:
I like to carry both a surival knife and a multitool because some jobs need a bigger blade and others just need the tools.
Check out this video that does a good job of covering the basics of building an EDC Bag:
If you have never carried or put together an EDC Bag then the time to do so is now. They are lightweight and have just enough gear in them to help you get home in a crisis. Every EDC Bag that I have ever seen is constantly evolving though…they change and adopt to the needs of the owner. I suggest you start small and work your way up…and have fun with the process!

Meet the leading men of The King And The Commissioner
Director Shaji Kailas and scenarist Renji Panicker made two blockbusters in the mid-nineties. In the first one, Commissioner (1994) Suresh Gopi was city police commissioner Bharath Chandran IPS. The next one, The King, had Mammootty as a daredevil district collector named Thevallipparambil Joseph Alex IAS.
The two took on the mighty and the powerful and, needless to say, emerged victorious.
The two characters are coming together on screen in The King And The Commissioner, which releases today (March 23). As the two popular characters make their comeback on the silver screen, here is a look at their past glory.
Bharath Chandran IPS, hero of Commissioner, punishes wrongdoers in his own strict way. He spits venom, in good English, regardless of whether it is a criminal or a high ranking officer in uniform. He has a heart of gold and does everything with style, even lighting a cigarette.
One of the highlights of Commissioner was the fiery baddie, master manipulator Mohan Thomas, who dreamed of leaving his stamp as evil incarnate. The film was flooded with amazing dialogues that continue to excite viewers even today.
Bharath Chandran IPS, in 2005, was a sequel to Commissioner. The film was well accepted by audiences.
Bharath Chandran remains Suresh Gopi's most popular character to date. Movie buffs and admirers still repeat his dialogues like Just remember that... and, of course, Sshhhittttt....

Meet the leading men of The King And The Commissioner
District collector Thevallipparambil Joseph Alex in The King may not be Mammootty's most popular character in his highly illustrious career, but it did make a tremendous impact. The way he adjusts his hair after making some strong statements remains in the memory after all these years.
And Joseph Alex's sermon to his deputy Anura Mukherjee (Vani Viswanath) on what is the real India remains one of the most exciting dialogues in Malayalam cinema. Remember Mammootty saying it needs sense, sensibility and sensitivity....?
Watch the two icons on screen once again in The King And The Commissioner.

Alcoa's earnings lead gainers
Following two days of declines, the Fed's report boosts markets
Published 8:53 pm, Wednesday, July 9, 2014
New York
Corporate earnings season got off to a positive start Wednesday, helping lift the stock market after two days of declines.
The market opened higher and remained modestly higher throughout the day. Stocks climbed further after the Federal Reserve released minutes from its latest policy meeting in June.
The biggest gainer in the Standard & Poor's 500 index was Alcoa. The aluminum giant's earnings, which investors consider to be the official start of the quarterly corporate earnings season, came in well above Wall Street's expectations. Alcoa earned $138 million, or 18 cents a share, compared with analysts' estimates of 12 cents a share, according to FactSet. Alcoa rose 84 cents, or 6 percent, to $15.69.
As companies begin reporting their second-quarter results, investors will be looking for signs that the strengthening U.S. economy has translated into higher sales and profits. Analysts expect earnings increased 6.6 percent in the three months through June compared with the previous year, according to S&P Capital IQ, a research firm.
Investors argue that with stocks trading near all-time highs, it's now up to companies to show whether or not these record high prices can be justified.
"Stocks are not cheap, and we need to be assured that these companies' growth is going to continue," said Quincy Krosby, market strategist with Prudential Financial.
The next big name to report will be the major U.S. bank Wells Fargo, which reports Friday. The bank is one of the country's biggest mortgage lenders, and investors will be looking for Wells' outlook on the housing market.
"I'm looking for a good, but not a great, earnings season," said Michael Fredericks, portfolio manager of the Multi-Asset Income Fund at BlackRock. "We really need to see the guidance from companies, if management teams are as upbeat as the market."
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 78.99 points, or 0.5 percent, to 16,985.61. The S&P 500 index rose 9.12 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,972.83 and the Nasdaq composite rose 27.57 points, or 0.6 percent, to 4,419.03.
The market kept up its positive momentum following the latest report from the Federal Reserve.

The Painful Truth About HTML5
Full Text Search: The Key to Better Natural Language Queries for NoSQL in Node.js
HTML5 provides developers with new features and a lot of potential for creating engaging applications--but it isn't the solution for every scenario. Limitations on local data storage, security issues, and issues with synchonization are among the challenges HTML5 faces, and sometimes native apps are just more appropriate.
While security has been a minimal problem for old fashioned HTML-based web pages, when it comes to app development with HTML5, it's a whole new ballgame. Since HTML5 is an open source, interpreted markup language, rather than a compiled language, users are able to view the source code of an app by using a debugger such a Firebug. That is a good thing for a developer who wants to step through his own code to find potential problems, but isn't so good when hackers can also walk through the code, looking for areas they can exploit.

Caring hands
Nursing is a rewarding career that offers a satisfying future for people with a sense of service. As a member of the modern health team, nurses render significant service in the care of the sick and prevention of illness and injury.education Updated: Dec 25, 2012 14:51 IST
The lowdown
Nursing is a rewarding career that offers a satisfying future for people with a sense of service. As a member of the modern health team, nurses render significant service in the care of the sick and prevention of illness and injury. Nurses are the backbone of a health care team. If the doctor is the head, nurses are the hands and the head cannot work without the hands. Nurses manage the day-to-day care of patients and administering them the prescribed medicines. Skilled nurses reduce the period of hospital stay of the patient by promoting quick recovery. Nursing is usually a women-dominated profession but nowadays it is attracting men as well. Though none of Delhi institutes take male students, Karnataka, Kerala, and Rajasthan have quite a good number of them.
People involved in clinical jobs work round the clock in three shifts for a day. Those who are in teaching profession have a regular shift from 9am to 5pm
The payoff
Entry level: Rs. 8000 - Rs. 15,000 per month, one can earn more at the entry level in the government sector, middle level: Rs. 20,000 - Rs. 35,000 per month, senior level: Rs. 50,000 - Rs. 70,000 per month
* One should be patient, polite, empathetic and sympathetic
* Adequate knowledge of hi-tech modalities of treatment
* Presence of mind to be able to take appropriate action in times of emergencies
* An inherent desire to take care of the ill and the infirm
* Have emotional strength
* Ability to work for long hours
Getting there
After completing diploma in general nursing and midwifery course and BSc degree in nursing, one can be employed in clinical areas, hospitals, clinics, dispensaries, schools, red cross, community settings, private nursing centres etc. One can also go for MSc in nursing, MPhil and PhD if one wishes to get a job in the health ministry, Indian Nursing Council, state nursing councils and trained Nurses Association of India etc. You can go to United States, United Kingdom, Ireland and Middle East countries for better salaries and promotional avenues
Institutes and URLs
* Christian Medical College, Vellore www.cmch-vellore.edu
* AIIMS, Delhi www.aiims.edu
* RAK College of Nursing, Delhi www.du.ac.in
Pros and cons
* Trained nurses are immediately absorbed within and outside the country
* Long working hours
Quality care is expected of a nurse but the nurse patient-ratio in our country is still very poor, leading to increased workload for a nurse --- Rita Sapra, principal, School of Nursing, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi

Editor's Picks(1-4 of 12)
Hinduism does not glorify poverty
Charity [Dana or giving ] and treating guests as God [ Athithi devo Bhava] are part and parcel of Hindu culture in
. India
But Hinduism does not glorify poverty.
Hinduism advocates austerity, simplicity and detachment, but that has nothing to do with living in poverty.
One of the four aims of life known as "Purusharthas" is to earn and enjoy wealth [artha]. Hindu scriptures very clearly state human existence is not possible without wealth.
One of the four aims of life known as "Purusharthas" is to earn and enjoy wealth [artha]. Hindu scriptures very clearly state human existence is not possible without wealth.
Four "Purushatras" are Dharma, Artha, Kaama and Moksha.
1------ If Hinduism glorifies poverty, King Janaka who was a very rich king will be never treated as a great Rishi in Hindu scriptures.
2------ If Hinduism glorifies poverty, people will not pray to Lakshmi for wealth.
3------ If Hinduism glorifies poverty, Hindu kingdoms would not have been dazzling in wealth.
Just study what King Janaka [legendry father of princess Sita] taught 12 year old sage Suka [son of Veda Vyasa].
" You can possess things as long as you are not possessed by them."
Lord Krishna dazzled in wealth so too his disciple warrior Arjuna.
No where in the Bhagavad Gita Krishna asks anyone to run away from duties. On the contrary,
Krishna emphasizes on "action, constant unattached, unmotivated actions.'
Hinduism emphasizes the need to observe dharma [duty] while amassing the wealth. Only thing required every one of us is to balance material pursuits and spiritual pursuits in life.
Poverty became very important in
due to Buddhism and Jainism not by Hinduism. India
Since majority people in
are Hindus there is a tendency to identify "poverty" with the Hinduism. India
We don't identify the poverty in the
, for example, with its Catholic religion. Nor do we identify the success of Philippines with its Buddhist-Shinto religion.
So, to identify poverty in Japan to Hinduism is very wrong. India
People should always remember the last words of the Sanjaya to the King Dhartharashtra in the Bhagavad Gita, which I wish to describe as
" Where there is the supreme intellect and where there are persons constantly ready to act, there alone victory, power, and morality. That is my opinion."
Hindus never ever look at wealth as evil nor they look down upon amassing wealth as evil. As long as the motive is good, the action is good.
People should amass wealth and use that money for constructive positive purposes.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

There is a recipe I saw going around so I decided to test it! I made a couple of modifications to avoid the use of margarine/possibly palm oil and adjusted seasoning. Here you go: MAKE IT!
Goldfish Crackers – modified recipe to avoid the use of margarine/palm oi
2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 c nutritional yeast
scant 1/2tsp onion powder
scant 1/2 tsp turmeric
2 teaspoon sea salt
Slightly heaping half cup coconut oil
1/3c cold water
Preheat oven to 375 Degrees. Pulse all dry ingredients together until well blended. Then add oil, pulse until evenly crumbly. Dribble in the water and pulse/blend until the dough comes together evenly. Roll between two pieces of parchment to 1/8 to 1/4 inch. using a cookie cutter (you can get a mini fish one from a few sites if you take a peak at google) or a knife, cut into desired shape. Bake for 13 to 16 minutes until very lightly browned at the edges. Allow to cool completely before eating. VIOLA!
Enjoy, friends!

Lucky for him Lauren needs a strong lawman to help her safeguard a battered teenage patient. Holed up together, Daniel swears to bridge the distance between them - even if it means having his own heart broken again.

Hello all, I'm currently using normal mode Bad Juju and Vicious Talisman. I coined on Heroic Jin-Rokh last night and won the Heroic Thunderforged version of Rentaki's Soul Charm. I've checked current trinket values and just want confirmation whether this is worth using in any situation or should I just DE it?
Second Question is about 4pc. I'm currently 3/4 on T15 set and was wondering about CD order. I'm currently Combat and now that I won't be using AR and SB on the same CD, which do I pop first in my rotation.
I would appreciate some advice, thank you.
Also, here is a link to my character if that helps:

Eco & Organic, Intimates — Spreegirl
While it's nice to cozy up with snuggly PJ's during the winter, it's equally nice to shed some of the layers when spring comes around. Enter Spreegirl. This contemporary intimates is designed for the girl who wants to be hip all time – even to bed! We like their playful prints and ultra-soft fabrics. We narrowed in on their spring offerings and picked out two pieces that look like a lot of fun, but imagine to be comfy for those eight hours of shut-eye.
For the gals who favor sweet, romantic, but simple styles, we suggest the Simply Luxe line. The camisole would be a gorgeous item with a sleek, sexy triangle cup accentuated by ruffles. There's a strip of lace at the hem while, side ribbon ties ensure the empire waist fit. Paired with their hipster bottom, it's the perfect pairing for everyday luxury and comfort – at least in terms of sleepwear.
The other piece we wanted to bring to your attention is the Spice It Up Chemise. This darling style is inspired by their founders' travels around the world. It has an empire waisted babydoll top, adjustable straps and lined cups for the ultimate in comfort. Made of a bamboo/ spandex blend, this is also eco-friendly. We think this is such a breezy option and would be so easy to just toss in an overnight trip for a relaxing long weekend in a little beach town.
Visit www.spreegirl.com and tell us which one you like best!
