I'm starting this post with the ending! Julie and I are writing this in Shenley Park, sitting on a blanket, with a bottle of wine, grapes and peaches, wearing t-shirts, just as the sky turns grey and it starts to rain, who says an author and co-author's life's is mundane?
It all started a week ago when Julie and I, together with my eldest son, Stephen, set off into Central London to The Park Lane Hilton to help out at the CRUK East Herts committee charity masquerade ball.
We had the privilege of helping to raise around £70k for an amazing charity, for which Julie and I are Cancer Campaigns Ambassadors, but we also got to hear the stories of a cancer survivor who has battled the illness on and off since the age of 7 and since funded he's own charity - 101 things to do when you survive.
We also heard from the most amazing woman who in fact has only a very short time left to live. She is only 40 years old. Her story was so emotional and stirred the room to a standing ovation, in fact they both did.
One of the many highlights of the evening was meeting Jake Wood, also know as Max Branning from Eastenders. I had to tell him about how I met my now girlfriend Julie, when we took part in a charity Strictly Come Dancing competition in aid of North London Hospice.
We also met two dancers, Steven and Krystal who provided some of the evenings entertainment. We showed them one of our signature moves, I think they were impressed!
Another highlight was the live auction with celebrity auctioneer, none other than Hollywood legend and one of our own, Mr Ray Winston! I just had to have a photo with the him at the end of the evening.
A great night and a great cause.
Sunday was mostly spent dealing with the final edits on MY WAY 5 about LIFE, with an early evening interlude to celebrate my nephews 21st with the family. Late into the evening and early morning, my editor and I were uploading my latest book to Amazon so it was ready to publish on Monday 16th May to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week.
So Monday appeared and what a busy start to the day it was with full marketing of MY WAY 5 about LIFE on social media, especially to my 32k followers on Twitter. The book features 21 amazing authors and bloggers who were brave enough to write about some very emotional events that have happened in their lives.
I am delighted to mention that the charity SANE wrote a foreword in the book and a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to this special charity.
On Tuesday I was on TV, well let me explain. I had a ticket to see the ITV lunchtime show Loose Women and I was captured on camera being in the audience, how did I know this, well my daughter who was watching posted a photo on Facebook, my sister texted me to say that she had seen me and my son Stephen, tweeted me asking, "Dad, why are you on TV?" The best bit was that even before the show went live, I was chosen to act as a guest coming onto the show to warm the studio audience up. Now I know what it feels like to be a celebrity and to be applauded and cheered when making a TV appearance. I just hope it won't be the first and last time!
So now I will move onto Saturday morning, which saw my editor, co-author and girlfriend Julie and I up bright and early to take up an invitation to be on the Northwick Park Hospital's radio station, Radio Harrow, to chat about MY WAY 5 about LIFE. We had a blast with host Gary Walker and the hour flew by. Again, I hope this won't be the last radio show we do. You can listen to us having a good chit chat here! Radio Harrow
Now I move on to today, Sunday 22nd May and a very special day because it's my mum's 81st birthday and apart from one brother, who is away in Malta, the day was spent in a lovely little country pub with the birthday girl, and my other siblings, oh and not forgetting Julie of course!
So all in all, a very busy week and one that was certainly quite different from the previous week. I can't wait to see what the week ahead brings, I do have some quite exciting things in the pipeline so watch this space and I will let you all know about it next week.
Until then, peace and love to one and all!

One of my "New Year Goals" for 2018 was to take better care of my skin and implement a proper skincare routine. This has given be a perfect opportunity to try new products and see what works for my skin. Continue reading

Korean skincare products have been on the market for a while now, and Caolion is a brand i'm a huge fan of. I've tried a few of their products in the past, one being the Sparkling Blackhead Soap, which I love. I am always having a nosy in Sephora at Caolion products and when I saw this I had to try it. Whenever I see a product that claims to reduce pores I am all over it! I decided to try the mini version to see how I found it. Continue reading
With summer around the corner, it will soon be time to ditch the cardis and flash the flesh in summer dresses, cami's and shorts! However, as I don't tan naturally, and I don't "embrace my naturally pale skin" like everyone likes to tell me to (I like being tanned!), the only option for me is to fake tan! Continue reading
As a makeup fanatic, KIKO has been one of my favourite stores since I first discovered it in Barcelona many years ago. I have many memories of wanting to buy everything, trying to work out how much space I had in my case for baskets full of products! Now they have stores all over the UK and we don't have to travel far for our KIKO fix! The brand is known for its high quality products at affordable prices. Continue reading
There aren't many high quality skin care products that will give you change from a fiver, so when I saw these sheet masks by Tony Moly in Sephora for €1.99 I was amazed. Not wanting to miss out on a bargain I threw a few in my basket, not really thinking much of them. Then I tried them…
First, a bit about the brand. TONY MOLY is a fun Korean skincare brand that has cute and quirky products ranging from Egg Pore Blackhead Steam Balm (shaped like an egg) to Banana Dalcom Lip Balm (shaped like a banana). However, gimmicky it is not. With innovative ingredients and scientific technology, the products are really good.
With a wide range of masks to choose from, I went for Avocado for Nutrition, Ginseng for Elasticity, and Pearl for Luminating.
What TONY MOLY say:
Bring tired skin back to life! Specially crafted with our Double action system, a 2-layer pulp sheet enriched with powerful natural ingredients which work to combat signs of fatigue and irritated skin, fast. Leaving skin healthier, glowing and softer with long lasting hydration, all in as little as 20 minutes.
Ginseng: Natural Ginseng Extract improves skin-elasticity for more youthful-looking complexion!
Pearl: Infused with Pearl Extracts to provide clarity and glow to skin
Avocado: Avocado Extract with micro emulsion-based essence nourishes skin and revitalizes complexion.
I thought these sheet masks were amazing quality for money, I think they really made a difference to my skin, especially the Avocado one. My skin felt so soft and nourished after using it. The masks had a lot of product in them as well, and they really sunk into the skin. There are so many to choose from, so there will be a perfect one for you no matter how your skin is acting. I loved the packaging as well, they were a bit different from other facemasks. Overall, for €2 they were a great bargain and will definitely be buying more on my next trip to Sephora!
Buy Tony Moly Sheet Masks (prices vary) at House of Fraser, Cult Beauty , Amazon or Sephora.
Anyone who knows me or follows my blog/Instagram, will know I have a long-running, serious eyebrow issue. The issue being – I HAVE NO BROWS. Well, I do but they ain't pretty. It all started when I was a bushy-browed 15-year old and I went to the beauticians for an eyebrow wax and she SCALPED me. Like literally 90's pencil thin brows. AAGH. Continue reading
Dear Spring, I am writing to let you know that we are ready for you whenever you are… Is anyone else totally over this weather? It feels as though it has been THE longest winter ever – even in Barcelona. And I don't know about you, but this weather has totally wreaked havoc with my skin.

Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, yesterday,said that the only thing that would make its striking members go back to the classrooms is the full implementation of the 2009 agreement and not any new offer or palliatives from the Federal Government.
President of ASUU, Dr. Nasir Fagge, who stated this in a telephone interview with Vanguard in Abuja, said it was better to get it right once and for all instead of palliative measures that would not help the system compete with other universities in the world.
Fagge said that government had established the attitude of making promises without fulfilling them and that until the 2009 agreement was implemented, universities will remain closed.
Beyond offers
He said: "The problem is that we have gone beyond the point of making offers now. We have a comprehensive agreement, which was arrived at after three years of negotiation from 2006.
"We had demands from both sides— ASUU and government— and like I said earlier, we reduced those two demands into an agreement within threeyears of negotiations.
"And at this point, we are talking of the implementation of the agreement. So, at this point, government should not be talking or making offers. If government wasn't ready to implement the agreement, government shouldn't have signed the agreement.
'Gov's antics'
"What is becoming clear to us isthat government is still going back to its usual antics. We signed an agreement.
"Government will just single out what affects the staff directly to implement and then expect them to go back and continue the deception in the system.
"Without good research, teaching and effective delivery of production of knowledge, universities cannot move and this is why the nation has been blaming us for the kind of students we are graduating in our universities.
"So what we are saying is that we are also tired of this. What we want is let the agreement be implemented and then we look at the impact of the implementation.
"Then if there is the need for usto review the situation, we will do it through another round of negotiations. But at this point, we are not talking about making offers.
Government made offers on negotiation table between 2006 and 2009."
Gov Aliyu denies report
Meanwhile, Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, yesterday, denied a media report that quoted him as saying that the team of negotiators on the side of the Federal Government in the ongoing talks with ASUU was incompetent.
A national daily (not Vanguard)had in a report, yesterday, quoted Aliyu as "doubting the abilities of the negotiators on the side of the Federal Government to achieve any breakthrough in the ongoing dialogue with the lecturers"
Governor Aliyu's spokesman, Danladi Ndayebo, described thestory as untrue, urging the reading public to disregard the report.
He said the report was misleading and did not reflect Governor Aliyu's comments at the National Universities Commission, NUC, in Abuja, where the governor addressed a continental workshop on the 3rd Regional Centre of Expertise, RCE.
'What he said'
Ndayebo said: "What Governor Aliyu said is that Federal Government can afford to offer free basic and senior secondary education, while heavily subsidising tertiary education ifgovernment officials cut down on spending public funds unnecessarily.
"Governor Aliyu then encouraged constant dialogue between labour unions and government, stressing that strikes were unheard of in other West African countries because there was constant dialogue between the unions and government."

Meet the Rainforest Explorers
Where are the Rainforests?
The Rainforests are found on the equator. In South America there is the Amazon Rainforest. You will find rainforests in Brazil, Peru, Columbia, Venezuala, Bolivia, Ecuador, Suriname, Mexico and Guyana. In Africa there is the Africain rainforest, in Congo, Cameroon, Gabon and DRC. The Asian rainforests are in Maylasia, Indonesia, Paupa- New-Guinea, Laos, India, Burma and Myanmar.
We went to Udzungwa Mountains in Tanzania. This is sometimes called the "Galapagos of Africa" because it is a rainforest. We had so much fun learning more about the rainforest in a real one. More than what we read in books and saw in pictures, we could smell and hear the rainforest as well! Here are some photos from our visit...

Neopterons (Japanese: 甲虫種 Kōchūshu, "Beetle species") are insectoid monsters known for their rigid carapaces. These monsters can range in size from tiny to enormous, and some species can fly, while others cannot. Neopterons are very susceptible to poison and fire, yet hold quite a resistance to the Dragon Element. Their materials are often used to make very sharp weapons.

CIA Welcomes Leaders of the National Association of Asian American Professionals
This is the first in a series of articles about the work of CIA's Community Outreach and Liaison Staff in raising awareness of CIA's national security mission and expanding sources of mission-critical talent.
CIA hosted leaders of the National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP) in March to discuss ways the Agency can enhance outreach and recruitment in the Asian American community.
Following the welcoming remarks, members of an Asian Pacific American employee panel—comprised of officers from the Directorate of Intelligence (DI), National Clandestine Service (NCS), Directorate of Science and Technology (DS&T) and Directorate of Support (DS)—shared stories about their paths to the CIA. NAAAP members and Agency officers also participated in a brainstorming session to explore new ways the Agency can reach the Asian American community.
"The Agency's senior leaders understand the importance of diversity and inclusion," said Matthew C., an NCS officer and senior member of the Executive Diversity and Inclusion Council. "We, as an Agency, understand that striving for a diverse workforce is a never-ending goal."
After the meeting, NAAAP leaders lunched with nine senior Agency officers and received a surprise visit by then-acting CIA Director Michael Morell. Mr. Morell reaffirmed the Agency's commitment to recruiting and retaining a highly talented diverse workforce and shared some of the CIA's daily challenges.
"I felt [Mr. Morell] really showed how important the initiative is for the CIA and also how much partnerships like NAAAP mean to the Agency," one NAAAP visitor said. "I walked away with a strong sense of obligation to strengthen our relationship, and I am sure so did the others."
Since 2011, the CIA has increased collaboration with a number of Asian Pacific American professional and community organizations to organize events around the country. NAAAP is one of the nation's largest Asian and Pacific Islander professional associations and strives to empower leaders through professional development, community service and networking.

Catchy and elegantly ragged, "Peedoodles" is lo-fi gold.
The latest from longtime Wilmington indie rock band Glow in the Dark Scars is a real treat, a sickly good album of smart, tender pop. It's also a double treat, with two different versions of most songs for an album total of 23.
With "Peedoodles," GITDS frontman Fred Champion and his band of cohorts have crafted delicious pop songs dressed up in fuzzy atmosphere, blurred vocals and lo-fi arrangements. The album is soaked in easygoing, infectious melodies, like the playful and breathy "yeah yeah yeah" that features great male and female vocals.
It doesn't get much better than the understated, memorable "Freak," a song that accompanied the GITDS tribute album in 2011. Combining fuzzed-out guitar and siren-lite keyboards, its dual vocals (Champion and Jessie Williams) create a hypnotic song that's fun and surly. "Just one kiss" is an album highlight, a torch song done with great, fiery guitar lines and wonderful vocals by Bibis Ellison.
"Peedoodles" is a testament to great, catchy songwriting and sugarcoated melodies. Most songs are around two minutes, but they're chock full of content, like the blisteringly drugged-out "naykid" and "i gotta go," a song that would make Johnny Thunders smirk.
Ditto the theme of sexual inadequacy and jangly guitar of "buzz" and the worrisome "party to go II," whose narrator suffers more from self-induced neurosis than what the parents think. It recalls Dinosuar Jr. and the fuzzy guitar and soft percussive stomp underscores its tension.
The sparkly acoustic number "kissed you once" is sweet, as is the Halloween-flavored "zombie girl" with its funeral home keyboards. Champion sings patiently on the dark-humored song about longing and finding someone: "Well my feelings never show/ And my heartbeat doesn't go/ Cause I'm dead … you know." The song is low-key until Champion sings, "when we make love it sounds like this," and it explodes with color and a vibrating guitar solo that's somewhere between Peter Frampton and circus music. It's a great moment.
"Peedoodles" is available as a digital download or on a cassette that comes with a digital download code. It's a limited pressing of 25 copies for $8.

Amazon is running a sale on the book 'The Laggan Redshanks.' The sale price is only US $13.46. The book tells the fascinating story of the Highland Scottish migration to Donegal in the 1500s. Many of these Highlanders migrated to the Colonies in the 1700s and became 'Scots-Irish.'
In the sixteenth century Scottish Highlanders settled in the Laggan district of east Donegal. They were called Redshanks. The history of the Laggan Redshanks has many fascinating elements which include Clann Chaimbeul and their dynamic leader the fifth Earl of Argyll, Gaelic sexual intrigues, English Machiavellian manoeuvres, and the Redshanks themselves. This book not only tells the fascinating story of how a Highland Scottish community became established in the Laggan, but also includes the surnames of the Redshanks and notes of their origins in Scotland, which will be of interest to family historians and genealogists.

NASCAR issued some hefty penalties on the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota team in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series on Tuesday as a result of the No. 11 car failing post-race inspection after Sunday's Brickyard 400. Ahem, I mean the Crown Royal Presents the John Wayne Walding 400 at the Brickyard Powered by BigMachineRecords.com (because I don't think I type enough). There were big fines, crew chief and car chief suspensions and points deductions. But, really, in the grand scheme of things, does it even matter?
Some things to consider regarding the specific penalties:
POINTS PENALTY: Before the 75-point deduction, Denny Hamlin was 288 points to the good, as in he was already 288 points ahead of David Gilliland, the first driver outside the top-30 in points. Hamlin has a win this year, and with only six races remaining before the Chase cut-off and only 11 different drivers visiting victory lane, to this point, a win is sure to get a driver in, provided he stays in the top-30. A 75-point deduction would drop Hamlin back to being 213 ahead of 31st. I think it's a pretty safe bet that he won't squander away that large of a margin in six races over second-tier and lower teams. He has a win and he's in.
SUSPENSIONS: Crew chief Darian Grubb and car chief Wesley Sherrill were each suspended for six races. That's the exact number of races BEFORE the Chase kicks off in September. Sure, the No. 11 team would probably like to win races in the coming weeks, but in the grand scheme of things, the Chase and a championship are the big picture, here. That's not to say that Hamlin couldn't win with a fill-in crew chief. He could; it just wouldn't be as easy, I'm assuming. And again, Hamlin's in the Chase, as long as he doesn't squander that entire 213-point cushion he has over 31st.
FINE: Grubb was handed a hefty fine, but let's get real. Most fines handed to crew chiefs are actually paid by the race teams. You think JGR can't afford a $125,000 fine? Sure, JGR would rather not write a check — or whatever form those kinds of payments take — that large to NASCAR, but I don't think it'll hurt the team that much. I'm sure Joe Gibbs Racing manages its money well enough that it's just not throwing that kind of cash out the window, just because, but I'm sure that organization is financially healthy enough to just pay out the fine and continue going about its business as if nothing happened.
Joe Gibbs Racing released a statement Tuesday afternoon sayting that the penalties would be appealed, except for the suspensions of Grubb and Sherrill. They're going to go ahead and begin serving those six race suspensions this weekend at Pocono Raceway. That's probably a good call, in case the appeal is lost. That way, they'll both be off suspension come Chase time. As pointed out earlier, the points don't really matter at this point in time, given Hamlin's Chase aspects. So what's the point of the appeal, avoiding the fine? That must be what it boils down to. If that's not it, why bother?
Do you think these penalties are a big deal? Take an online poll, here.

Here we are, November 2011 already!
What a fantastically busy summer season we have had. It seems so strange now to visit places such as Son Bou and not be surrounded by lots of people enjoying their summer holidays – more like a ghost town at the moment.
The weather was a bit of a mixed bag at the beginning of summer but then, once it had made its mind up to stick with the sunshine, we had lots of it – days on end of beautiful blue skies and temperatures well into the 30's. We had plenty of visitors over summer, which was lovely, just a shame we weren't also on holiday 🙂
Now we are already over half way through November with Christmas looming closer and closer. I love Christmas over here – none of the hype we are subjected to "back home" – makes a refreshing change and also means you don't get brain-washed into thinking you need to spend far more than you need to. Wonder whether we'll be able to sit outside on the patio to eat our Christmas dinner this year!

SABR calibration on Shiny
The users of your web application can change the input parameters interactively via web applications. It will give a good opportunities to understand how the model works and it's limitation.
Systematic Investor's examples are very nice application in financial analysis, I was so excited when I saw it at first. I decided to create my own web application by shiny as a "mock" quant.
My appication is here(you can also get the source code of this application on Github):
It is a calibration of SABR model based on Hagan's approximation formula(Managing Smile Risk, P. Hagan et al(pdf)). In some derivative market, SABR model is de facto model, you can understand how much degree SABR model can fit market data(IV) and it's limit.

I've been porting your R code into Matlab and I always enjoy the challenge :D
Thank you for your comment. I hope that you usually use R instead of MATLAB :)返信削除
Hi Teramonagi,返信削除
The first time I saw R code was your "Pricing defaultable discount bond with reduced form model" code. I wanted to write it in MATLAB so I learnt R from that (it wasn't easy, took almost an entire weekend). I plan to start a github account soon, so you can see for yourself :)
Hi Stefan,返信削除
That's great!
Let me know when you create your github account :)
Hi Teramonagi,返信削除
Finally read the Hagan paper, in it he suggests selecting beta as a constant "In particular, beta cannot be determined by fitting a market smile since this would clearly amount to "fitting the noise".
Granted this paper was written was in 2002, so I was wondering whether in the market ppl. calibrate to beta ?
Hi Stefan,返信削除
I think that you are correct. This article related to this topic is also useful.
(beta or rho should be fixed because of its redundancy)
This was very helpful. Thanks!返信削除

Steve Reeves, sadly deceased, was an icon from what was the start of the Golden Era of Bodybuilding. A former Mr America (1947), Mr World (1948) and Mr Universe (1950) achieved a physique which is still popularised by bodybuilding fans today.
The basic principle behind progressive training is to try and increase the amount of weight lifted and the amount of reps over the required number of sets. Many trainers use this method at present, building up the weight lifted over a number of sets to a final set which was near their maximal lift.
Mr Reeves' individual take on progressive training was to start each movement with a weight that was close to his maximum for a number of reps and reduce the weight each set afterwards completing as many reps as possible. This method would be used throughout the workout with each exercise.
I started off bodybuilding in my teenage years using this method of training through instinct and whilst reading some old articles written about Steve Reeves' training, I was happy to discover this method was used by him. Like all bodybuilding training methods, everyone has their individual take on the method and engineer their own variation to make it their own.
My variation on this style of progression training was keeping close to the original method but with a small number of differences. I would start out with a weight near my maximum, for instance six reps, and instead of automatically dropping the weight on the next set; I would evaluate how the first set went in terms of performance.
At this moment I would like to stress that an appropriate warm-up is carried out at the start prior to embarking on the first working set.
This evaluation is made for every set for each exercise throughout the workout.
A note book is essential as the notes you make will be used to determine what weight you use the next week.
Example of one exercise over a 6 week period:
(a) = Set was easy to complete, increase next week
(b) = Set was a struggle, required a little assistance, stick with next week
(c) = Set was a failure, too heavy and unable to complete without major assistance, reduce next week.
At the start of a workout your energy and glycogen levels are at their highest, and as you continue throughout the workout these energy stores will deplete and the energy you are able to put into each set will subsequently reduce. With this method of training, emphasis is placed on ensuring you take advantage of using the energy at its highest level to create the most stimuli for hypertrophy.
If you can easily complete a set without duress then the assumption can be made that a level of muscular adaptation has already been achieved and no further stimuli is therefore generated to spur new growth if the same weight is used. By using this variation based on Steve Reeves individual method of progressive resistance, new stimulus is created and adaptation can be readily seen in the increase in weights lifted throughout the coming weeks and months on every set for every exercise.
An analogy of this training method would be one of the card game 'Blackjack': you 'stick' if the weight is good enough to keep with or you 'twist' if the weight isn't enough. Don't be afraid to 'bust out' and realise the weight is too high; without taking the leap of faith to 'twist' you will never know if you will be dealt with something worth sticking with. The situation is ultimately a win-win as the next week you are dealt the exact same cards and will know from the week previous whether to stick or twist.

Friday night I got off work all ready to throw down and kick off my Birthday weekend. Well sometimes things don't go as planned, but that's okay. I had to pick up a shift at work and didn't leave till almost 10 pm (which is late for me) and I just ended up coming home and laying around and packing to go see the parentals.
Saturday we woke up and sold a jetski and then drove down to the big city of Atmore, where we spent the afternoon getting pissed at the Arby's drive thru worker and not dying Easter eggs. I was really excited about doing that, but apparently I was the only one. Sometimes I wonder if I really was adopted.

With a name like Jason, how could he not return for a sequel?
Yep, I definitely cursed myself to eat my words when I said that Kalliope's stable was looking more fluid than Kallimon's. Jason is back. And how.
Jason's had a bit of a checkered past. He was with me before in a red hyena skin, though he was mostly my planned hydra. I was never really sold on the idea of Jason being a hydra anyway, as evidenced by the previous stint in red.
The problems weren't really his, though. They were mine. Kalliope couldn't have a purple hyena, but that's my favorite color hyena. Orange, the second favorite, was too jarring when summoned; I kept expecting to see the purple. I have a soft spot for hyenas, which made the whole thing worse.
It's a good thing MoP has hyenas set up to be one of the families with the windfury buff. Knowing this, I took the excuse to look at hyenas again in the name of "filling out stable buffs," which of course was clearly untrue, since I'm completely ignoring other buffs. Sigh. Whatever self-deception works, right? I knew I wanted Jason back, but I didn't know what color to make him. I figured I'd try orange again, since orange was Linus last time (and Orpheus's brother or not, I just had no bond with him). So I ported to Uldum to go grab Skarf. But I decided to check on Madexx first.
You can tell where this is going.
Madexx wasn't up last night (he always knows!), but as I approached the northern spawn point (my favorite), I got that familiar pang as I flew over a yellow hyena. The this-is-your-pet-go-tame-it pang. I landed and immediately hit tame. Then I quickly smashed dismiss, since Leo was still with me. Whoops. Then I hit tame again without missing a beat. The bond was instant. I completely blame Leo for this; thanks to him, I'm now used to a warm golden pet by my side. Honorable mention goes to GrilledCheez (Sandwiches's), the first yellow hyena I'd tamed.
So, Jason is home, thank goodness. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as all that. He's a color changer. I never tame color changers because they drive me batty. If I want a pet in a particular color, then I tame that color. None of this funny business with swapping. Jason, however, isn't a fan of this philosophy. He opts to appear in white more often than not, apparently just to needle me (he's appeared as yellow in clutch, serious business moments during which I didn't have time to chastise him for showing up as the wrong color). Not only that, but he's showing up on the login screen as orange. This is driving me crazy. One of the reasons Perseus changed bodies was because he appeared as a green warp stalker on the login screen instead of blue. The worst of it is....I can't change him. I flew out to the Barrens to find a yellow hyena who didn't change colors and even settled down above one, knowing full well that I couldn't do it. I checked on how those hyenas were color-changing on the beta. Without character copies activated, I can't confirm that he'll stabilize as yellow, but I did confirm that even if he doesn't, I'll be able to retame the real him. Still, I'm amused greatly by Jason's color changing antics, even though they drive me crazy. At least he has personality!

We move ConnecticutTo New Canaan, A town of only 19,000 inhabitants over the years has become a sort of symbol of the city 'modern architecture.

What you see in the picture is called "Glass House"A glass house made by the late Architect Philip JohnsonWhich was recently opened to the public.

Curriculum respectable even to Johnson that not only achieve this property of glass, Has put his signature on some projects of international repute, the garden of Moma skyscrapers Sony and AT & T Manhattan. The Glass House itself, in 1947, is one of the elements that are born in New Canaan from the hand of Johnson. The property is also a post-modern entry called "The Monster" and a small library / office, plus a gallery of paintings and a sculpture museum. A location for the amenities of the area, has attracted over the years the appetites of the rich men of AmericaWho have chosen to implement their homes. But the speculation seems time to turn.

This is part of an irregular round up of blog postings about Fujairah, to write about why people visit this eastern city and emirate of the United Arab Emirates.
Friday Market
There is something endearing about shopping in a traditional market or 'souk' in the United Arab Emirates and this factor is a quality that even the largest malls in the world do not possess.
Take the Friday Market on the Dubai side of Masafi along the road to Fujairah. It's no wonder that all tour operators stop here. Even the name is quirky, for the Friday Market opens every day and even if you're traveling the road in the middle of the night there's always someone awake to sell you a sweet banana or an apple for the road.
The origins of the Friday Market are shrouded in mystery. Nothing is written down but the oral tradition records that decades ago three Emirati farmers would come to the mosque and after Friday prayers they would unload their trucks and sell the produce from their farms at the roadside stalls.
The Friday Market is surprisingly located because whichever way you approach it you round the bend and it's there. Sandwiched between high mountains and a nearby wadi, the high rainfall in this area (for the UAE) has meant the good production of crops and a natural oasis for travelers and people wanting to pitch their tent for a night.
The Friday Market is a work in progress. It is only in recent years that electricity has been connected and the petrol station has added a modern touch. The stalls are no longer run by Emirati farmers but by Bangladeshis who sell fruit and veges, Afghanis and Pakistanis who operate the many carpet shops and Indians and Egyptians who run the café, the souvenir shops and the one cassette and video outlet. There are several extensive nurseries where you can buy bedding plants and sizeable trees. A mosque is part of the strip in case the shopping coincides with a time for prayer. One writer who has traveled this road for many years notes that the Friday Market shops have become disappointingly homogenous in recent years.
One of the attractive things about a market is that the produce is usually fresh and locally grown, although, how much of the Friday Market fruit and vegetables comes from nearby is anyone's guess. It is good to wander into the pottery shops where you can purchase locally made pots, cups and incense burners.
One does not feel as claustrophobed in a market as you can when encapsulated in a shopping mall with its special lighting and music to tempt you to buy. If you look around you can see the mountains and the farms which is a vivid reminder of the soil and the trees from where this produce has come.
For those who must have the climate-controlled malls, the Friday Market counters with its creative alternative. People can drive alongside the stalls, place their orders and make their purchases all from the comfort of their air-conditioned vehicles. The Americans claim to have invented the drive-through concept in the 1940s with their drive-through restaurants (or 'meals on wheels'), the drive-through banks, the drive-through pharmacies, the drive-through liquor stores and even their drive-through marriages, as popularized in Las Vegas. Sure there are no microphones, speakers and uniformed sales assistants but the Friday Market has been offering a drive-through service for yonks. There are oodles of staff so you won't be kept waiting if you're in a hurry.
The best shopping experience is when you get out of the car and the Friday Market is ideally situated to provide a timely stopping off point for travelers making the trip to and from Fujairah. Moving among the stalls you can see trading at its most basic level. There is no window dressing because there are no windows to dress. There are no advertising banners beaming their cunning messages at you. The market is free of wrapping, credit cards and other fandangled accessories.
But fruit and vege shoppers are induced to make a purchase by the oldest selling principle in the book—'taste and see'. The vendors, who are mainly from Brahmanbaria in Bangladesh, will sit you down, thump on a melon to test for ripeness and cut a generous slice for you to sample. As you sit on your plastic chair munching, with sweet juices flowing from the edges of your mouth they'll regale you with stories about their cricket team at the Cricket World Cup. It's hard to walk away from such friendly and generous shopkeepers empty-handed.
Buying carpets and mats at the Friday Market is equally a fascinating business. If you happen to stop in the early afternoon, chances are you'll see most carpet sellers lying out the front of their shop having a sleep. The shops are open but the workers enjoy the split shift approach to employment. There are no counters dividing shopkeepers from customers and you roam around the large areas poking among the piles of carpet. When a design takes your fancy, if you as much as turn your glance away, the carpet seller from Kabul will pull out a variety of alternatives.
The Art of Bartering
The beauty of the bazaar experience is that there is no fixed price. When you ask you might be told an outrageous price, although the naïve, who is uninitiated in the art of bartering might reach for their wallet and the seller makes a killing. If you dismiss that price as ludicrous and starting walking towards your car saying, "There's plenty more carpets along the road," the vendor will keep asking, "How much do you want to pay?" This cat and mouse haggling is expected and it's all the fun of the fair.
On one visit to the Friday Market I purchased a Kashmiri mat. "What is your best price I asked?' The carpet seller from Kabul said it was five hundred dirhams. "Five hundred dirhams," I exclaimed. "That's far too much." When asked what I wanted to pay I said "Two hundred" and received a look of disbelief and a glare that was to say, "Get realistic! How do you think I'm going to earn a living by giving this carpet away?" After the tooing and frooing and some stories about the Taliban we settled on two-hundred and fifty dirhams. Whenever I start to feel guilty about my hard bargaining approach I seek solace and understanding in Umberto Eco's anecdote concerning Baudolino (in the book with the same title).
Baudolino and the touring party had arrived at Gallipolis to do some shopping and he briefs the group on how to get the best deal:
"You should know that in our markets, at first glance, you wouldn't want to buy anything because they ask too much, and if you immediately pay what they ask, it's not that they take you for fools, because they already know you are fools, but they are offended because the merchant's joy is bargaining. So offer two coins when they ask ten, they'll come down to seven, you offer three and they come down to five, you stick to three, until they give in, weeping and swearing they'll end up homeless with all their family. At that point, go ahead and buy, but you should know that the object was worth one coin."
"Then why should we buy?" the Poet asked.
"Because they also have a right to live, and three coins for what is worth one represents an honest trade." (Umberto Eco, Baudolino p285).
When you visit the UAE, described by a cynic as 'one giant shopping mall', don't forget to visit Fujairah's Friday Market at Masafi and experience the joy of bargaining.

Many thanks for your observation and taking the time to post your helpful comment.
The nurseries within the FM and a few kilometres either side have been opening up recently and they appear to be doing a good trade.
Many thanks.

I wanted to be comfortable but still look cute, so I figured that this ensemble would be perfect:D
I just had my hair down with my bangs braided!
Do you like it? Do you remember your first day of high school? How was it?

First Impressions: Touratech Suspension
September 17, 2013
Words by Nita Breibish // Photography by Nita Breibish
My old helmet was pure lust. It was beautiful. I fought for this helmet tooth and nail every time Issa had threatened to bowl it down the interstate. The BMW System 5 (by Schuberth) was it's name and it truly was lust at first sight for me. It fit my head perfectly and was stunning to boot. I felt like I a fighter pilot on my first mission. It was a modular helmet, which was great when doing short stops. Not having to take off your helmet to have a conversion was nice. It was a sexy shiny gloss black finish with the tinted visor. So stealth!
Issa's first negative account with Stealthy was while attaching our Scala intercom system to the outside edge of the helmet. What seemed to easily attach to any other helmet was nearly impossible with the System V and the struggle alone trying to keep it on was frustrating. Still, he worked his magic as usual and figured out a decent way to make it work. Me, I continued to be blinded by the light, literally.
We were leaving on a ten day Western Canada loop last fall. Two miles from our house on day one and in temperatures hovering around 9°C it started to fog up. It was a cool, damp morning and we were sitting in a minor amount of early traffic. I figured, like my other helmets, I'd simply crack my visor open a touch to let the temps adjust and we'd be fine once we started moving. Another two blocks and I began to see funny little lines appear, still nothing I couldn't just look past momentarily. I thought I'd just suck it up until our next stop. To make a long story short, by the time we were in a full down pour on day three, I had to ride with the visor completely up at times so that I could see properly. That night Issa had the visor off of the helmet in the hotel, sitting by a vanity filled with hot water while he scrubbed every last bit of the anti-fog liner from the visor. The funny lines were the first remnants of the anti-fog liner peeling away on its own and had made it nearly impossible at some points for me to use safely. After 45 minutes of intense intervention, it was finally removed. This seemed to fix the peeling problem, but of course added to the fogging up problem. We decided it must have been a defective visor and mentioned we would bring it back into the store upon return home. Let's just say, two visors later displaying the same issue the damage had been done.
I've had some other issues with visibility since then but nothing quite as bad. Although it was enough to finally give it up.
After 9,000 km and experiencing some high intensity glare issues with the Schuberth this year, I recently switched to the Shoei Hornet-DS model, fully equipped with a removable sun shield to enhance my visibility range. I can't say enough about this helmet so far. The visor feels near double the size. I've decided to go with a clear visor and rose/amber colored sunglasses (highly recommend for optimum viewing pleasure) to allow for more options while on long trips so if I do fog up slightly I can still ride with my visor partially up and the wind will not effect my eyes. If you do prefer goggles instead of sunglasses, you can in fact fit a pair under a closed visor on this model. I find it does narrow the peripherals quite a bit with goggles, but to each his own.
I truly feel like I'm seeing the world in HD for the first time. I don't know what I've been doing with a tinted visor. Sure it looks cooler on the outside, but the world has never look better. I doubt I'll never go back. The Scala units attached with no time spent and a major reduction in wind noise was the cherry on the icing on the whip cream on the custard on the cake.
Time for some 10 pin :)

Lifestyle Assessments
What is a lifestyle assessment?
The process is very simple; you probably joined the gym for a reason, whether it is to lose, maintain or gain weight. In order for you to know where you are going, you need to know where you are at the present moment.
Our aim is to help you find your way by taking basic measurements and guiding you through the obstacles you might encounter.
What does it cost?
A lifestyle assessment is a FREE service rendered by the club and is recommended every 4-6 weeks.
You'll benefit from using the equipment correctly, so please ensure that you gain instruction from our staff. No instruction or supervision may be given or received by any other person than an appointed staff member or personal trainer of The Training Edge Health Clubs
How do I go about doing a lifestyle assessment?
Lifestyle assessments are only done by appointment. Appointments can be done at our reception or send us a request on our contact page.
Something to remember?
The human body adapts within 4 to 6 weeks to any exercise program. As the body changes and adapts, the diet, exercise and supplementation program must also change.
When the proper program is established and implemented, genetic predisposition will determine an individual's rate of body composition change and the amount of work necessary to achieve his/her fitness goals. Read More.

This level of connectivity through the most congested part of LA is expected to produce the highest ridership of any light rail line in the country with over 90,000 daily boardings and ripple effects across the entire Metro Rail system.
This line will provide safe, reliable, affordable rail transit to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the Beverly Center, Hollywood & Highland, Universal Studios and more.

DIY Headboards Projects
Fancy changing the look of your bedroom? Well, we've got just the thing: a new DIY headboard. After all, our beds really are the focal point of our bedrooms. Give yours a little extra boost with these make-your-own headboard projects. Not only are they easy to create, they don't cost as much as buying one from the big furniture stores. Make a strong design statement, go for a traditional vintage look, or try something a bit more whimsical; we have the ideas and the tutorials for all styles of headboards. So what are you waiting for? Create a little DIY headboards magic in the bedroom with these top headboard design ideas:
Vintage Shutter Headboard
An elegant idea to bring a bit of old fashioned style to the boudoir. These antique shutters are sanded, painted then pieced together to form this gorgeous headboard. There's so much character in this idea that going to bed will seem like a treat.
A huge thank you to Samantha Elizabeth for this great tutorial.
Old Door Headboard
While we're on the subject of re purposing, here's another great idea for you. Old doors are being used for all sorts of things these days – coffee tables, shelving, even headboards, and why not? The wonderful detailing on these pieces bring so much character to a room. What's more, they're pretty easy to transform. A bit of paint, a lot of sanding, you can also add a moulding to the top so you have a shelf to stack things on.
We love the old door tutorial over at vintage revivals.
Diamond Buttoned Headboard
How gorgeous is this headboard? To make a headboard like this, start by deciding on the shape you'd like – high and imposing, or perhaps long and rectangular? Draw the shape out on paper, then use it as template to cut your piece of wood. Once the wood is cut to your desired shape, simply cover it in thick foam and mark on where you want the detailing to go. Take your time with this step, or you could end up with a wonky diamond. Finally cover the board with material and add the buttons. If you're after a bit of a project, this one is for you.
Check out the full tutorial here at living with punks.
Buttoned Down Headboard
If diamonds aren't your thing, but you're still after a simple, traditional look, then try this wonderful tufted headboard. You don't need any fancy equipment and you can shape or colour it to suit your style. The perfect way to transform any bedroom.
Check out this seriously easy tutorial over at Classy Clutter.
Old Pallet Headboard
Take several old pallets, pull them to pieces, fasten the planks together vertically and you've got yourself a gorgeous rustic-looking headboard. Actually, it's not quite that simple (there's a bit of painting and sanding involved too) but the end result will make an amazing addition to any bedroom. Build it up high to give your bedroom a loftier feel and really add some drama. For more inspirational designs made from pallets click here.
Thanks to the rooster and the hen for this awesome tutorial.
Slip Cover
If you already have a headboard but want a change, why not try making a slip cover? It's a simple way to update a basic wooden headboard. Choose a bold print, a subtle pallet, or go for a monogram – a really cute way to brighten up a child's bedroom.
See the full tutorial over at hgtv.
Mantelpiece Headboard
You don't have to have a fireplace to have a mantelpiece headboard. Add an original feature to your room and not only will it look stylish, you'll have some extra space for photos, books and other knick-knacks. Plus, as you're making it yourself, you can paint it whatever colour you want – a luxury most listed properties don't have.
Creating your own original feature is easy with this tutorial from Ana White.
Rope Art Headboard
Fancy something a little different? Look no further. Create a simple wooden frame, drill a few holes, then add the rope decoration. Choose colours that contrast well with your bedroom. This design idea is a definitive favourite with children as they can hang pictures and photos off the ropes.
Thanks to poppy talk for this great idea.
Window Headboard
Incredibly simple and extremely stylish, old window frames make unique and rustic-looking headboards. Simply remove the glass and fill the gaps with the design of your choice. Go for bright bold colours, or delicate floral designs, either way you're left with a fantastic addition to any bedroom which can be changed as often as your style does. Artistic designs such as this can also be used for creating an Art gallery style wall.
Check out the full tutorial over at bhg.
Stencilled Headboard
You don't need to be a great artist to turn your boudoir into a work of art. Stencilling is a simple way to add an intricate pattern or bold print to any surface. Turn your existing headboard into something special, or fashion a new one out of reclaimed wood.
Head over to paint and pattern for a great tutorial.
So what do you think? Best of all, a lot of these headboard design ideas can be completed in a day. So why not get stuck in and turn your bedroom into a boudoir? Don't keep these tutorials to yourself; share the designs on Facebook, twitter or Google+.

Proteins, Fats & Exercise: Your thoughts?
Posted on May 17th, 2012 by Andries Lodder
Proteins and Exercise When athletes do high intensity strength training, then they need extra protein. True (half true). Strenuous exercise causes low glutamine concentrations, which is important because glutamine comprises 60% of total amino acid (AA) pool. Prolonged strenuous exercise increases protein breakdown and also increases protein synthesis during recovery. Therefore protein stimulates muscle growth […]Tweet

As the players first started warming up and getting a feel for the course prior
to the event, it looked as though the winner was going to be either Sue Bird or
Hall-of-Famer Nancy Lieberman, who both got through the course with ease. Yes,
that's right, I said Nancy Lieberman. She may not have been in the event or even
in the WNBA anymore, but she sure looked like she knew what she was doing as she
gave the course a run through. It even looked as though the NBA TV analyst completed
the course faster than rookie sensation Seimone Augustus, who would eventually
become the champion.
Each contestant began the obstacle course on the baseline.
The players start the event with a layup before dribbling down the court around
pylons shaped as WNBA players. After they get to the other end of the court, they
must throw a straight chest pass through the first cylinder, then grab a second
ball and bounce pass it through the second cylinder. When the two passes are complete,
they then grab another ball and must hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key.
After the three they must pass one more ball through the third cylinder before
dribbling through three more pylons and being set home free for another open lay
up. The fasted time wins.
The competition started as the two rookies once
again faced each other head-to-head this season.
Seimone Augustus, who stuggled
in her first time through during warmups, was the first contestant and felt that
the course would "be tough" prior to the start of the competition. But the course
sure looked pretty easy for Seimone early on. Then she reached the 3-point.shot
from the top of the key. She missed all five shots, but still finished with the
second best time of the first round with 38.1 seconds.
Fellow rookie Cappie
Pondexter was the second contestant to compete. She hit her first pass and it
only took her two attempts to make the bounce pass, but it was her three missed
3-pointers that really slowed her down. She finished a second behind Seimone with
39 seconds.
After the two youngsters posted the times to beat, it was then time for the
veterans to show what they could do.
Deanna Nolan went third and felt that
she had what it took to beat Augustus' 38.9 second run, but things did not start
too smoothly for the Shock guard as she missed opening layup. She missed all five
bounce passes, but was the first contestant to make the three-pointer on the first
try. It was too little too late for Deanna at the end as she finished the course
in 40.8 second, which was not enough to make it to the finals.
it was Sue Bird's turn. The two-time defending All-Star Dribble, Dish and Swish
Challenge champ said that she thought she had what it took to beat 38.9 to make
it to the finals, and she sure did. She made her first two passes and finished
an almost flawless run in 29.2 seconds.
Pondexter and Nolan took a seat
early as they did not qualify for the final round, but that doesn't mean they
didn't have a good time. "It was pretty cool," Pondexter said after the event.
"It was a good atmosphere and everyone was just relaxed and had a lot of fun."
Nolan felt that the "event was great, overall" and added that she "had a lot of
After a quick dance competition from some WNBA fans, Augustus and
Bird took center stage and brought their skills to the finals.
felt good going into the finals and proved it by making a good first pass and
hitting the first jumper. She moved down the homestretch at an incredible speed
to finish the course in 28.5 seconds. Aside from one missed bounce pass, Augustus
was perfect.
Finally it was Sue Bird's turn to prove that she could beat
both her time from her previous run and Seimone's 28.5 second run. Bird said she
was not nervous going into the finals, but looked as though she might have been
as she missed the opening layup followed by two missed passes. She fnished with
33.2 seconds, which was not enough to three-peat.
Augustus took the All-Star
Dribble, Dish and Swish Challenge trophy home.
"The event was very
fun and competitive," the No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 Draft said.
and the other All-Stars are looking forward to tomorrow's main event.
game is going to be fun," Augustus said. "I'm just looking to entertain
the crowd and have another good time out here."

Woof or Guuuuurrll???
Why? Why? Why?
Thanks, Beeeenie.
He learned the universal language of the milieu: the language of indirection, gesture, and the significant glance. Honesty and dishonesty existed in such completely equal measure that it was impossible to distinguish between them. The lack of truth in most of the sharp, witty, and fantastic exchanges that passed for conversation was so obvious and so enormous that it was no longer untruth. There was no way of separating fact from fiction, nor was there any reason to do so. Under the guise of endearments or highly civilized verbal cruelties existed an elaborate, formalized, and continuous chase. Everyone was hunting, hunted, searching and searched, wanting and wanted. The aim was constant and unchanging: conquest. Not one conquest, but continuous conquest, from one victory to another, for it was the conquest alone that was important and never the prize.

245 Swanston Street
Melbourne, VIC 3000
Melbourne, VIC 3000
Rice Paper Vietnamese Restaurant is a relative newcomer to the Swanston Street eating scene. Just like most of its neighbours, it serves a myriad of Asian dishes that have been westernised to differing degrees. Normally I wouldn't be caught dead eating anywhere along Swanston Street (unless if it's at DonDon), but a bright sheet of paper on the window boldly proclaiming a $5.8 Special lured us in.
The owners have clearly made an extra effort when it came to decor, in an attempt to differentiate itself from the restaurants nearby. Not only are there colourful lanterns and lily-shaped lights, but the walls are also lined with small pictures and mirrors all the way to the back of the long narrow space.
|Lemongrass Beef with Rice ($5.8 special)
The first special was the Lemongrass Beef with Rice ($5.8 special). A modest serving of beef slices were topped with shallots, served with a mound of rice and a small bowl of fish sauce. The beef looked dry but it was actually right the opposite. Although there wasn't much of the tang of lemongrass, there was a steadily building heat from the pickled chillies. Luckily the spiciness of the beef was easily tamed by a dip into the fish sauce followed by a mouthful of fluffy jasmine rice.
|Chicken Curry with Rice ($5.8 special)
The other special was a Chicken Curry with Rice ($5.8 special). Unlike the beef, this was actually creamy and delicate, with tender chicken chunks floating in the broth. Sweetened by coconut milk and lemongrass, this curry surprised both of us with how not-bad it was.
I'm going to have to say that I wouldn't pay the normal $9-ish for these dishes, as much better food can be had for a couple dollars more. But at just $5.80, it's certainly a cut above the similar food served nearby for almost twice the price.
Rating: 12/20 – $5.80 special. all day, every day.

Title "It's hard to say I'm sorry"
Artist "sanoma"
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry,even though I am.
For things that I done yesterday.
And things done in the past.
I should be more open,with my feelings I know dear.
But Hon you know I love you.
And have through all these years.
So I'm gonna say i'm sorry in this song.
For every time I've hurt you dear,
Or ever done you wrong.
When the dj puts it on the air,you"ll know it's for you.
The only thing thatI'm not sorry for.
Is when we said I do.
I'm not the easyist man to live with,
I know I've got my funny ways.
I'm not much for talkin' in a crowd
Even on my better days.
So just turn on the radio,
Each time your' feelin blue.
And when you hear this song,
Just remember I love you.
(Repeat chorous)

Scotty Studer is an IT geek (his words, not mine) who, over the course of 18 plus years in his profession, suffered from poor nutrition, too little sleep, and tried over and over again to make positive change, but the stress of work, family life, & plain old day-to-day distractions got in the way of the changes he knew he needed to make.
After finally making the decision to work with a couple coaches who helped show him the way, he started making some real changes across the board. Turns out it was a bunch of little stuff that added up to big results, and that's why he wrote his book "Small Changes Big Results," and I'm glad to have him on the show this week to walk us through some of what he shares in his book.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Off Topic [BG]' started by DaveCustomMade, Apr 26, 2005.
Did the new show from Fox called 'Point Pleasant' get dropped? I haven't seen it for a while.
You are the only one who cares.
That chick was delicious, but the show was really stupid.
Thanks for the unnecessarily mean post. How about not ever responding to any of my posts again. K?
Anyway [for the others on this board], I did a search and found out it was cancelled. Tru Calling was put in it's place. The show really started off slow, had a few silly plots in it, and started getting kind of interesting way too late in the game. Oh well. I guess Marti Noxon will have to live off the successes of Angel and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Can't you take a ribbing?
Ouuch, Ooooo, . . .oh. . .GOOD one! B'Bye. :scowl:
I think that you are taking this waaaay to seriously. I was joking, kiddding, giving a good ribbing, joshing, pulling your leg.
I didn't intend for you to think I am "attacking" you. You can let your guard down.
FOX? new Famliy guy sunday w000, it's been leaked out on the internet! have u seen it?
well, all that aside, the show wasn't great imo. FOX probably took it off the air because not enough people were watching it.
Explaination is well taken. Thank you!
FWIW, there wasn't very many people who DID care about the show, apparently. To be honest, I was a little shocked. I've seen a LOT worse shows go on and on. I'll not name them, but it's true. I think the show would have a good footing on the WB. There's a lot of crap shows on there.
The last show I remember watching all the time was Hangin' With Mr. Cooper. I was 12.

Lea Michele at Emmy AwardsLots of gorgeous dresses on the red carpet at the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, but my favorite by far was the one worn by Lea Michele, who plays Rachel Berry on Glee.
Lea Michele wore a lovely strapless navy blue Oscar de la Renta gown with a gorgeous ruched waistline and a ruffled mermaid skirt. Loved the diamond choker by Lorraine Schwartz, which added some youthful glitz to her look.
"I wanted to do blue — I've done black and green," Michele said, according the Associated Press. "I was ready for blue to be the color, and I love Oscar de la Renta so when I saw this, it was like he read my mind."
Glee was nominated for 19 Emmys, including Best Actress in a Comedy prize for which Lea Michele was nominated. The two Glee wins went to Jane Lynch (love her!) for Best Supporting Actress for her insanely awesome role as cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester and to creator-producer Ryan Murphy for Best Comedy Director.
Thumbs up to the lovely dresses worn by Jane Lynch, Claire Danes, Emily Blunt, Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men's Sally Draper), and Edie Falco. Thumbs down on the dresses of Anna Paquin (oh, horror!) and January Jones (electric blue bleck!). As far as Emmy hair goes, loved Tina Fey's poufy ponytail and Maura Tierney's (ER) post-breast-cancer pixie do. Great to see her back!
What Emmy Awards dress was your favorite?
