On 28 December 2016, US Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a comprehensive speech about the United States' vision for a two state solution. Kerry's address was remarkable for its candor: he insisted that settlements did not increase Israel's security; he referred to Israel's establishment as the Palestinian nakba; said that Israel must choose between either Jewish or democratic, but could not be both; among other remarks. The speech was also typical in its overemphasis on Palestinian violence as a root cause of the conflict as opposed to a symptom of setter-colonialism.

In August 2015, Maati Monjib was returning home to Morocco from his summer vacation. But before he could clear customs and leave the airport to return to his home in Rabat, Moroccan police apprehended and detained him, notifying him that he faced the charge of "endangering state security." Until legal matters were resolved, they told him, he was subject to a travel ban and forbidden to leave the country. The travel ban came as somewhat of a surprise, Monjib says. In the months and years prior, the history professor's outlook on Moroccan politics was cautiously optimistic. In 2011, taking cue from activists in neighboring states demanding political change, Monjib was one ...

2 Contents Objectives Approach Findings Conclusions
3 Objectives To Review Bus Quality Standards Current practice – investment patterns Identify disparity Define standards Identify options to reduce disparity To Review Bus Stop Infrastructure Levels and standards across key corridors Best practise Where to make improvements To Review Value for Money Relating Price to Quality
4 Approach Desk research: fleet profiles and trends Period ticket ranges Best practise elsewhere – fleet and infrastructure Contextualisation – DDA compliance requirements Mystery Shopper Survey 250 covert surveys across SEStran region Quality Audit of 31 aspects of the total bus journey Bus Stop, Shelter and Information External and Internal Appearance Customer to Driver interface Punctuality Single fare charged
5 Our Survey 243 usable survey records Sample represents geographic and market split First 36% Lothian25% Stagecoach22% Munro's6% Other Firms 11% 20% of journeys cross border Mystery Traveller paid single fare and scored trip by quality measures: Stop Vehicle Journey Driver
6 Value for Money: Quality Score v Single Fare
7 Fleet Quality Vehicle Quality Generally Good External Presentation Majority showed correct number and destination display External condition and cleanliness generally reasonable though outside Edinburgh affects of winter conditions noticeable Internal Presentation Munro's and Lothian highest scores First in Falkirk and Clackmannanshire – lowest scores
8 Stops and Shelters Shelters 72% in very good condition 9% badly vandalised and in need of urgent repair 6% poor repair with some vandalism Replacement rates for DDA compliance The need for improvement? Setting Standards Stop Signs Majority present with current information 8 missing altogether, 13 needed replacement
9 Stops and Shelters (2) Information 73% current route specific information 9% had no information (more than half of which were in Borders) Facilities 67% had seating, lighting, level kerb 23% had one of above 8% had none (half of which were in Falkirk) Cleanliness 35% functionally clean; 27% thoroughly clean 26% were in need of routine cleaning 7% were dirty and littered.
10 Stop Quality: Average Score by Local Authority Maximum Score = +3, Minimum = -3
11 Conclusions – Value for Money There is clear variation in fare levels across the region But also stark variance in quality covering measures in the gift of operators and authorities Short distance fares are often comparatively high, reflecting: Walk options are available Commercial strategies to price towards the mid range market Trade off between maximising yield and seat turnover Pricing structures reflect three tier market Local Travel Travel to Neighbouring town Travel to Edinburgh
12 Conclusions – Stops and Shelters Comprehensive level of infrastructure Much of it in good condition Some very poor Maintenance and cleaning standards vary Information provision usually comprehensive But with some very bad examples Action needed to: Ensure repair and cleanliness of shelters Ensure renewals programmed Provide enhanced quality waiting environments on Quality Corridors
13 Conclusions – Bus Fleet High Levels of Quality Apparent Some disparities Falkirk, Clackmannanshire, West Lothian, Fife have lowest scores Some very high quality vehicles: Stagecoach Fife on Fife to Edinburgh services Horsburgh on 555/777 Investment levels higher than average Major groups have increased orders
14 Possible Actions – Value for Money Compelling price reductions is almost certainly unfeasible Operators explicitly want and need control of price LAs can influence quality to address value for money shortcomings Smartcards – as already used in parts of study area - can deliver a step change in ticket offers Can enable discounts for regular but not frequent users Tangible benefits to reliability – and therefore cost – by reducing cash transactions Monitoring: Annual Mystery Shopper survey to maintain quality v price link Agreement to share fare information – fare tables are public domain material.
15 Possible Actions – Fleet and Infrastructure Operators continue to invest where there is a strong business case Consultation with stakeholders may encourage complementary investment in infrastructure In some areas improved standards of presentation are required, particular on vehicle interiors Where business case is weak, operators can engage with LAs with a view to pump priming, capital cost or parallel investment to improve the case LAs specify minimum vehicle standards for secured service contracts on a consistent basis Ultra high quality could be introduced on specific corridors, especially to target modal shift. Programmed improvement in infrastructure should match vehicle investment
16 Opportunities Voluntary Partnerships linking operator and authority investment focusing on the key corridors Can simply structure existing planned investment, but may enable higher levels Statutory Quality Partnership on key corridors LAs invest in new infrastructure Bus Operators fund new vehicles, meeting highest environmental standards (diesel) Agreement on maintenance of quality issues Pump Priming on secondary corridors where growth could be achieved with public sector support for business case Showcase corridor with Hybrid vehicles, ultra high quality standards and advanced waiting environment.
17 Constraints We noted the potential for significant decline in passenger experience if standards are not maintained, let alone improved Could lead to a vicious circle of decline Funding for existing initiatives, such as concessionary fares is a key issue for bus operators Delay in increasing fuel duty rebate has been damaging LA funding is constrained Some zero budgets for bus stop infrastructure
18 Conclusions Buses are of huge value to the community and economy Quality is very impressive – but: There is a real risk of decline if maintenance of quality standards is not improved, eg Bus lane surfacing New and Well Maintained Shelters Continued fleet investment This is a National issue for Scotland and strategic direction is required from Government SEStran needs to lobby for this; to raise the profile of bus as a tool to achieve wider policy objectives; to ensure funding is unlocked.

Ingredients: 1 Beef heart, about 4 pounds 3 Cloves garlic, peeled 1 1/2 Tablespoon(s) Coarse Salt 1/8 Teaspoon(s) Freshly ground black pepper 2 Teaspoon(s) Ground cumin 3 Dry red chili peppers seeded 1 Dry ancho pepper, seeded 3/4 Cup(s) Red wine vinegar 1/3 Cup(s) Achiote oil 2 To 3 slices bacon, 2 oz 8 8" to 10" bamboo skewers, 8" to 10" bamboo skewers |
Trim any fat from the heat and remove veins and membranes. Cut into 24 cubes. Place in a bowl and set aside. With a mortar and pestle pound the garlic and salt to a paste. Add the pepper and cumin and continue pounding. Set aside. Place the seeded red chili and ancho peppers in a bowl, add the vinegar, and let soak for about 10 minutes, or until the peppers are soft. Place the softened peppers with the vinegar in a blender and puree until liquid. Add this mixture to the garlic paste and stir thoroughly. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Add the Achiote Oil and pour the mixture over the cubed meat, stirring to coat all the pieces. Let marinate, covered, at room temperature for 6 to 8 hours, or in the refrigerator overnight. Thread 3 pieces of the marinated cubes of beef heat on each of the 8 skewers, reserving the marinade, and set aside. There are two ways of cooking the beef hearts. Both methods require quick searing. If barbecuing or broiling, heat 1/4 cup of the reserved marinade with 2 or 3 strips of the bacon in a saucepan over medium heat until all the liquid has evaporated and only the Achiote Oil and the fat from the bacon remain. Discard the bacon or reserve for another use. Brush the skewered meat cubes wih the flavored oil from the saucepan and barbecue them over a light layer of coals in a charcoal broiler (the coals should be burned until white ash has appeared on the surface). Or broil them in a preheated broiler (about 3 inches from the heat source) for 1 to 2 minutes on one side. Brush the beef cubes again with the flavored oil, turn the skewers, and broil for another minute or two. If using a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the reserved marinade, add the bacon, and cook until the bacon is golden. Discard the bacon or reserve for another use. Place the skewered meat cubes in the pan and cook over high heat, while turning them, until the meat is seared on the outside but remains medium rare on the inside. This will take about 5 minutes. Serve the anticuchos hot. Source: Christmas Memories with Recipes, Felipe Rojas-Lombardi Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #1066 by "M.

contemporary living room | fireplace with log storage
The Yorkville Penthouse, designed by Cecconi Simone, has a dining room with contrasting dark and light colors. Sitting adjacent to the massive, built-in fireplace wall that's covered in cold rolled steel, is a sleek, dark dining table and chairs with a custom chandelier.
All white kitchen
This is currently my favourite for a fireplace - love it! Only 'issue' is the colouration at the top of the fire. White may not be the best choice :(
Want a double sided fireplace on the wall between my dining and theatre room...
exact zoals ik onze open haard wil. strak, met bergruimte onderaan, en extra zitplaatsen! kussentjes erop, gezellig!

The Revolution may have 29 players in camp at the moment, but that doesn't mean the roster is close to becoming a finished product. Far from it, in fact.
In a teleconference with the media on Friday morning, coach Jay Heaps hinted that he and general manager Michael Burns intend to make more moves in the not-so-distant future.
"We are actively searching for at least two pieces and I think that we feel really good where we are, but we want to be better," Heaps said. "I think we've identified where we can get better and we are going to continue to try to move along in those areas."
Heaps didn't specify which players -- or their positions, for that matter -- the club intended to secure, but it's hardly a mystery where the Revolution need help the most.
The most glaring area of need: striker. Although Jerry Bengtson and Dimitry Imbongo are currently the top candidates to fill the role, neither has distinguished himself as a go-to goal scorer during the last two seasons.
But after Juan Agudelo showed how beneficial a bona fide striker can be to a young offense, there's no doubt that the Revolution believe the answer to the question mark up top isn't currently on the roster.
Another area in need of an upgrade: defensive midfielder. Scott Caldwell admirably manned the engine room as a rookie, and the coaching staff helped him do so by asking Lee Nguyen to assume a more defensive posture last season.
Even so, the truth became clear. Caldwell and Nguyen, both attacking players by trade, weren't particularly well-suited to disrupt and dish out punishment in and around the most critical part of the pitch.
While Heaps made no secret of addressing areas of need, he wasn't about to discredit his current charges, many of whom helped the club reach the postseason for the first time in four years last season. In fact, the continuity established by the core of last year's roster is something just as integral to the club's success in 2014.
"It's also important for us to continue on the path we set from the middle of last year to the end of last year of how we are going to play (as far as) everyone's role (goes)," Heaps said. "That is something I am really, really happy with in where we are -- everyone's understanding of the system we want to play in, the tactics we want to use and how we want to play."
That understanding of the system -- as well as the confidence within that system -- is, perhaps, the most notable difference between this year's camp and last year's edition. Each returnee has a firm grasp of what his role is, as well as what else may be asked of him by the coaching staff.
The result: a sense of cohesion that's been largely absent since the likes of Taylor Twellman, Steve Ralston and Shalrie Joseph all made the Revolution one of the best teams in the East. It's a luxury that's taken the past two years to cultivate, and one that Heaps believes will be crucial to a return trip to the postseason in the autumn.
But Heaps realizes that no team improves by staying stagnant. Changes won't be made just for their own sake. Not at all. For even if the Revolution hadn't lost Agudelo to Europe, or Matt Reis to retirement, upgrades would've been necessary nonetheless.
"You are always looking to improve, and you're always looking to see how you progress," Heaps said. "I think we want to continue to add our group. I think it's going to be important over the next three-and-a-half to four weeks to add attack depth and add players to help us."

due Thu Jan 26
getting started
Make sure you can log into this site. If you aren't on my roster yet, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com .
Read the "Introduction" chapter in
Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures
, which reviews python.
Use the Fraction class as described in the text to find exactly \( \sum_{n=1}^{100}\frac{1}{n^2} \) . (Anything interesting about that number? Hint: multiply by six and take the square root.)
As one more python coding practice, find the ratio of consecutive Fibonnaci numbers for large n.
bonus: Make a plot of n vs Fib[n] , fit to a curve of the form \( y = b x^a \) , and discuss.
due Thu Feb 2
analysis and "big-O" notation
Read the Analysis chapter of our textbook.
To give you some practice making a plot (I suggest IPython as discussed, but you can use any tool you like, as long as you submit a plot as part of your homework) and to think about the O() notion :
Suppose the number of steps for two algorithms are \( f(n) = 10 n + 0.1 n \log(n) \) and \( g(n) = 0.01 n^2 \).
Plot these functions.
What are their O() behaviors?
Which algorithm is faster?
A sorting algorithm takes 1 second to sort 1000 items. About how long do you think it will take to do 10,000 items if
the algorithm is O(n**2)
the algorithm is O(n log(n))
Consider the problem of implementing is_substring(a,b) which is True if and only if a which has m characters is a substring of b which has n characters . For example, if a="is" and b="My name is Jim.", then the answer to is_substring(a,b) is True. On the other hand, is_substring("one", "alpha beta gamma"), then it returns False.
If the only operation you can preform is comparing characters(i.e. a[i]==b[j]), invent an algorithm that implements this algorithm. Any algorithm will do - it does not have to be the most efficient.
Describe what you think the O() behavior of your algorithm is, in terms of m and n.
Implement and test your algorithm.
Measure the time it takes your code to run on random strings of varying length, and create a plot that explicitly shows the runtime for some choices of n and m.
Repeat the previous numerical experiment using Python's built-in operation "a in b" which also returns True or False. (This will run very fast for most strings - you can time it by putting in a large loop to do it many times, then dividing the time for the whole loop by the number of times through the loop. Or check out python's "timeit" library.)
What do you think is the O() behavior of Python's "a in b" operation?
Discuss what you think are sorts of strings a and b give the best, worst, and average behavior of your is_substring algorithm. What do you think the O() behaviors are for these cases?
due Thu Feb 9
linked lists
Read the Data Structures chapter in the text, particularly the Stack, Queue, and LinkedList parts.
Implement and test a doubly-linked list in python which can serve as both a stack and a queue. Your API should include at least methods for __str__, push, pop (i.e. the stack API), enqueue and dequeue (i.e. the queue API), reverse, nth (i.e. return the n'th element of the list), and a way to insert a new element into the list.
Describe the expected O() behavior of each method. Measure at least one with a numerical experiment to verify that it does have the O() behavior you expect.
due Thu Feb 23
Read the recursion chapter.
Write a program to recursively draw the
Sierpinski triangle
. (Hint: the python turtle can do this, using its fillcolor, begin_fill, and end_fill methods, and noticing that "erasing" can be the same as "filling white".)
Pascal's Triangle is a famous array of binomial coefficients. (Google it if you are unfamiliar). Each term can be determined recursively from two smaller ones. Write a program to print out n lines of these coefficients. (Coding exercise 13 in the text.)
Read the descriptions of coding exercises 14 (knapsack problem) and 15 (string edit distance). For one of these two, implement an algorithm using memoization. (These can also be done with dynamic programming, but I'm not requiring that. Both of these are well studied, so if you don't see how to proceed without help, google to find a discussion. If so, quote your sources.) Discuss briefly the O() behavior of your approach, and the brute force O() behavior (i.e. without memoization).
due Thu Mar 2
Read the sequential, binary, and hashing parts of the Searching chapter in the text. (We're doing sorting next, so continue on into that if time allows.)
Write and test functions that do sequential and binary search on an ordered list of random integers, and show that binary is much faster for big lists, at least waving your hands at seeing the O(n) vs O(log n) difference. (That means I want you to demonstrate what's going on but am not requiring lots of data with graphs and curve fitting and all that.) You can use the textbook code (if so quote your sources), but make sure you understand what's going on.
Write and test a program that stores strings in a hash table. All the details are up to you, including the choice of a hash function and how to handle collisions. Do explain what's going on, and what the pros and cons are of your choices. Again, you can use code from the textbook - or parts of their code - but if so quote your sources and make sure you understand it.
Coming soon : a midterm numerical sorting project, due right before spring break. (You can work on this over break if you so choose.) Details coming.
due Fri Mar 10
midterm sorting project
Choose two sorting algorithms to implement, test, analyze, and compare. Any of the ones in the text or that we've discussed are fair game. If you want to do a different one, check with me.
For each, your mission is to
Explain how it works - enough to convince me you understand it. Also explain what its O() behavior should be on random lists, and why. Discuss when (if ever) this algorithm might be an appropriate choice.
Implement it.
Test it, i.e. show it does sort lists successfully.
Measure with numerical experiments the run time or number of steps it takes when sorting lists of random numbers of (at least) length 1e1, 1e3, 1e5, 1e7. Show explicitly with a graph that it has the O() behavior you expect.
Rules of the road:
I suggest an jupyter notebook since I would like to see some plots ... but that's your choice, as long as all the pieces are turned in.
Don't work with other students or a tutor on this - I want to see your work. You may use online sources, but if so, quote exactly what you took from where. Do not just copy and paste code that implements one of these algorithms in one fell swoop - that is not a good way to demonstrate your understanding.
This will be graded and will be 1/3 of your term grade. Your mission is to convince me you understand what's going on. Code and write-up clarity (API, docstrings, following conventions for the language) matters. Clear and thorough for a simple algorithm is better than a partly-finished and partially-understood complicated one.
The due date is Friday before the break, but you can turn this in after break ... as long as I have it *before* our first class meeting after the break.
If you have questions about any of this, ask me.

Sorry for the wait but I can't get into the mood for that one either. Right now I'm working on an entirely new fic which I plan to span at least 20 chapters so yeah. Lots to come and stuff so subscribe, favorite, and make sure to check back for more updates. 1/8/10: Woah. Been about a month since I have written a lick of writting for any of my stories. I'm sorry if you guys have been waiting on me but I didn't expect for my writers block to last this long. Basically, I'm not motivated enough. So for da moment all meh stories are on official HIATUS. Send me a message if you actually read any of my stories and want me to write more. I really don't have any kind of inspiration at the moment. Wierd huh? 2/1/10: Ok in the last update I said its been awhile. Well now its been over two months. I know you guys prolly hate me right now or forgot about me. Probably both but I just got a new computer and connection. We just moved so it took a really long time for me to be able to even get on this site. The good news is that I'm resuming writing though.

Worried Banks More Willing to Negotiate Mortgages
surge in foreclosures is forcing more and more lenders to take a loss on bad
loans, giving rise to a speculative real estate practice known as a "short
how it works: When a homeowner is threatened with foreclosure, an investor
negotiates with the lender to buy the mortgage for far less than is owed.
all goes well, the sellers reduce their debt, the buyer gets a good deal and
the bank removes a non-producing asset from its books. But, in practice, the
deals are notoriously difficult to piece together and too often are oversold as
a way to turn a fast buck.
the caveats, short sales, virtually unheard of only a few years ago, are
suddenly hot. A recent search of "short sale" in the Milwaukee Multiple Listing
Service turned up 173 properties. Milwaukee Craig's List shows 47 "short sale"
posts, many with multiple properties for sale.
listings trace back to investors who are betting that they have negotiated a
loan buyout that's low enough to assure a quick sale and profit. Some are
honest attempts by real estate agents to help a client avoid foreclosure. The
Greater Milwaukee Realtors Association recently sponsored a short sale seminar
to help Realtors identify short sale opportunities and to become familiar with
paperwork and protocol.
now? An avalanche of repossessed and abandoned properties has forced banks to
swallow their losses and walk away. RealtyTrac, an online market for
foreclosure properties, reports that June foreclosures are up 53%, and that
bank seizures tripled, compared to June of last year. This news follows a 75%
increase in total foreclosure filings nationwide from 2006 to 2007.

said Dave Price, a
need to quantify their loan losses, Price said, something that is impossible
when a huge chunk of a loan portfolio is tied up in seized property. "Investors
get nervous when a bank can't say for sure how much money it has lost," Price
added. "So getting these properties off the books, even at a loss, actually
helps the lenders in that regard."
uptick in short sales has another downside—more properties dumped on the market
when prices are already low.

troubling sign.

Report: Apple plans Lightning cable MFi headphones
Apple has added a specification to its Made For iPhone/iPad/iPod program allowing manufacturers to create headphones with Lightning connectors, rather than traditional 3.5mm headphone plugs, according to a new report from 9to5Mac. While not currently supported by iOS devices, Lightning headphone support will be enabled in a future software update. According to the report, the Lightning standard will allow for stereo 48 kHz digital audio output from iOS devices, and mono 48 kHz input for integrated microphone support, though the actual sound quality will depend considerably on superior headphone and microphone components. It will also allow power to transfer between the headphones and the iOS device in both directions, which could eliminate batteries in noise-cancelling headphones, and enable other headphones to add backup power to the connected device.
The report also states there will be two configurations: Standard Lightning Headphones, and Advanced Lightning Headphones. The former "are described by Apple as using minimum components when paired with a digital-to-analog converter supported by the Lightning Headphone Module," while the latter use a digital signal processor and digital/analog converter, and allow for "digital audio processing features like active noise cancellation." Lightning headphones would likely be physically incompatible with non-Apple devices, as well as Mac computers, unless Apple adds Lightning ports to Macs.

Advertisement On Tuesday, the retail giant was granted a patent for a miniature, voice-controlled "unmanned aerial vehicle assistant" to be used by everyone from officers making traffic stops to shoppers just trying to figure out where they parked their cars.According to the patent first discovered by GeekWire, off-board processing could be used to greatly reduce the size of the assistants compared to today's drones while greatly increasing their capabilities. In one scenario described by Amazon, a UAV assistant would launch from a dock on a police officer's microphone to act as a mobile dash cam and miniature partner. Image: United States Patent and Trademark Office "As shown in FIG. 6B, during a routine traffic stop, for example, the officer can command the [drone] to 'hover' or 'follow me,'" reads the patent. "In some examples, if a foot chase develops during a traffic stop, for example, the officer can command the [drone] to follow the suspect so that he can attempt to cut the suspect off in the cruise. Similarly, if there are two or more suspects, the officer can command the [drone] to follow one the suspects, while he gives chase to the other." Advertisement While the patent's diagrams focus on law enforcement applications, Amazon believes the assistant could be used "for many other purposes," including clearing buildings for military forces and even helping people decide if it's worth waiting in line."If a user is waiting in a long line to buy concert tickets, for example, the user may not be able to see over the crowd to see how many total people are in line," reads the patent. "In this case, the user can simply say 'hover' to the UAV and the UAV can take up a position at a predetermined distance above the user (e.g., 15 feet)."When Amazon began investing in drones, it aimed to make a world where flying robots delivered customers their books and USB cables. Now, it seems, the internet's biggest retailer has set its sights even higher.

Volunteers from the Cradle of Aviation Museum descended on Grumman Memorial Park in Calverton to touch up two jet fighters that have been on public display for years and are showing signs of aging.
As they power-washed and scraped the flaking paint off the Grumman-made planes Friday, Andrew Parton, executive director of the Garden City museum, explained that Long Island's humidity, cold and snowy winters can do a lot more damage than hot, dry combat zones.
Most Popular
The work was, essentially, a patch job, fixing exposed areas. A comprehensive refurbishment plan has to be worked out.
On Friday, as cold wind blew across the open fields of Calverton, a half-dozen volunteers crawled and walked over and under and around an F-14 Tomcat, once the U.S. Navy's primary protection against enemy air attacks. They also pored over an A-6E Intruder attack bomber that had served in many climates, from the scorching heat of deserts to the world's storm-tossed oceans.
The volunteers used pressure hoses and wire brushes so the grime and flakes could be removed and the surface repainted.
"It's the Long Island weather," explained Parton. "It's the snow."
advertisement | advertise on newsday
Town of Riverhead Supervisor Sean Walter, who met Parton at a meeting and asked for his help in dealing with the problem, said no one in town knew how to properly repaint a Navy jet fighter.
This type of Grumman F-14 went into service in 1972 and was phased out in 2006. The A-6E fighter-bombers served from 1972 until they were retired in 2005. Those planes were test flown at Calverton before being turned over to the Navy.
As the men worked on the planes, Fred Bauer, 60, stood back and smiled. Living in Texas, Bauer visits the 1-acre Grumman Memorial Park at Calverton whenever he returns to Long Island. "I don't like to see the history of Grumman die . . . My father, Fritz, worked on those planes," he said.

Skirt, Topshop;
Cameo necklace, via Vicky's giveaway;
Tights, Primark;
Shoes, Primark.)
I pretty much bought or acquired every item in this outfit while at home for the past month. I've been feeling guilty every time I look down at my outfit, but I keep forgetting that I did in fact earn the money rather than sponge it from my loan, therefore I shouldn't have such buyer's remorse! I've got a feeling I won't be spending much over the Summer if this is my current mindset. I really like this top, despite it being something my sister says I'll wear once and never touch again. I can tell she has her eye on it already! Uniqlo have some really nice collections of these T-shirts at the moment in hundreds of designs, I wanted more but they didn't have my size in most of the designs! Two for £19.99 if you're a Uniqlo fan! And the men's section have Naruto and Dragonball Z designs if you're a fellow anime and manga fan!
Apologies for wearing this skirt yet again! I promise not to wear it again for at least a week, although I'm doing laundry tomorrow...! I spied the raspberry, cornflower blue and black versions in Topshop earlier and seriously want them all, bit of an expensive habit, this 'buy-things-in-every-colour' thing! I popped out for lunch with Leanne, Emily and Lauren today. We went to Pret A Manger as always, and had a lovely, girly gossip and catch-up after almost four weeks of being apart! Leanne bought this beautiful fringed top from Topshop. So much want, even though it wouldn't suit me!
I might take a break from Ways to Wear this week, as I have a Royal-themed post coming up on either Thursday or Friday. I'm attempting to be more organised with posting this week, seeing as I have a mere two hours of Uni this week. I might even be going to a street party on Friday if no other plans crop up! On a side note, before I wrap this post up, have you all watched this week's Gossip Girl yet?! What did you think?
