Practical Farmers of Iowa announces on-farm job opportunities for aspiring farmers
For Release: March 16, 2017
AMES, Iowa – Practical Farmers of Iowa is once again partnering with experienced farmers across Iowa to offer aspiring farmers several on-farm job opportunities through Practical Farmers' Labor4Learning program.
Having sufficient on-farm work experience is vital to the success of new farmers just starting on their own. Most on-farm employment opportunities, however, are limited in scope and don't expose employees to the full range of skills needed to successfully run a farm business
Practical Farmers of Iowa's Labor4Learning program helps fill this need by connecting aspiring farmers seeking paid on-farm training with experienced farmers looking for eager employees. Those in the program also receive additional training on topics such as finances, marketing and other skills vital to running a farm business.
This season, 14 experienced farmers from around the state have signed on to hire an employee through the program and to provide that additional training. At the start of employment, the trainer and trainee will agree on a set of learning outcomes they will address during the course of employment, beyond the normal job-related work activities. Each Labor4Learning trainer farm was approved by a committee of Practical Farmers of Iowa members to serve as qualified teachers.
The jobs are found across the state and encompass diverse enterprises, such as greenhouse production, livestock, dairies, produce and row crops. Each job opening in the program varies in duration, hours, work activities and compensation. A list of participating farms is included below, and complete job descriptions and program details can be found at https://www.practicalfarmers.org/labor4learning.
To qualify as a trainee, applicants must have a strong desire to learn; apply to and be hired by a trainer farm; and be or become a member of Practical Farmers of Iowa.
Entering its fifth year, Labor4Learning has proven to be beneficial for both parties: Experienced farmers find high-quality, motivated workers; aspiring farmers find employment on a reputable farm, gain additional training beyond their wage-earning activities and build a network of beginning and experienced farmers through PFI.
"I've found that formalized instruction educates the teacher as much as the student," says Jill Beebout, of Blue Gate Farm in Marion County. "The opportunity to help beginning farmers, along with continuing to improve our own journey on the farm, seems to be a wonderful way to propagate small farms."
2017 Labor4Learning Trainer Farms:
- Francis Blake – Blake Family Organic Farms – Allamakee County (Waukon) – Certified organic beef, dairy, laying hens, row crops, hay
- Mike Salama – Salama Greenhouse – Boone County (Boone) – Greenhouse production of ornamentals and vegetables
- Denise O'Brien and Larry Harris – Rolling Acres Farm – Cass County (Atlantic) – Produce, cover crops, poultry
- Jeff and Earl Hafner – Hafner Inc. – Guthrie County (Panora) – Cow-calf operation, hogs, aquaponics, eggs, organic small grains and row crops, organic flour mill, seed cleaning
- John C. and Sarah Gilbert – Gibralter Farms – Hardin County (Iowa Falls) – Dairy, farrow-to-finish hogs, corn, beans, small grains, hay
- Donna Warhover – Morning Glory LLC – Linn County (Mount Vernon) – Produce, eggs
- Jill Beebout and Sean Skeehan – Blue Gate Farm – Marion County (Chariton) – Produce, poultry, alpacas, honey bees, fruit trees, value added products, hay
- Jon Bakehouse – Maple Edge Farm – Mills County (Hastings) – Corn, soy, alfalfa, beef cattle, pasture, small grains
- Andrew and Melissa Dunham – Grinnell Heritage Farm – Poweshiek County (Grinnell) – Certified organic produce, chestnuts, cattle, hay, poultry
- John Wesselius – The Cornucopia – Sioux County (Sioux Center) – Produce, poultry, pork
- Paul and Nancy Ackley – Taylor County (Bedford) – Beef cattle, corn, soybeans, small grains, hair sheep
- James Nisly – Organic Greens – Washington County (Kalona) – Certified organic produce, mini-greens, micro-greens, asparagus, cabbage, sweet potatoes

The Oregonian: "Oregon forestry department appeals court ruling that logging road runoff is a form of pollution"
By Eric Mortenson
The August ruling from a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals involved the Tillamook State Forest, where the department plans to increase logging. The court said dirt, rock and sand washing off logging roads is "point source" pollution, which requires a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit.
The case has been bouncing around the court system since 2006, when the Northwest Environmental Defense Center, based at Lewis & Clark College, filed suit against the state forester, forestry board and timber companies. The lawsuit involved two roads - the Trask River Road and the Sam Downs Road, both owned by the forestry department and used by timber companies to reach logging sites.
A lower court federal judge dismissed the lawsuit, but the environmental group appealed and won the ruling this summer.
Conservationists maintain that runoff from logging roads smothers salmon and trout eggs in streams, reduce oxygen level and bury insects that fish feed on. Logging companies typically install ditches and culverts alongside and beneath gravel logging roads to catch rain or snow runoff and to prevent the roads from washing out in storms. The stormwater systems redirect water to rivers.
If the appeals court ruling stands, timber companies might find themselves under greater regulatory scrutiny.

Explore Arlington and Washington, D.C. with The Westin Arlington Gateway
An enriching getaway awaits you in the nation's capital, ideally located near hotels in Arlington VA. Enjoy an enlightening experience with our three day guide to exploring Arlington, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
Learn more about our walkable neighborhood and all the transportation options available to help you get around town.
Day 1: Welcome to the Nation's Capital
Get your morning started off right with a visit to our restaurant, Pinzimini. Choose from our wide range of breakfast offerings, some favorites being our malted Tuscan waffle, omelet Sicilian and our breakfast panini.
After a revitalizing breakfast, walk to the Ballston Metrorail station located only 2 blocks from our hotel. The Metrorail is the rapid transit system that services DC, Virginia, and Maryland - and is the recommended mode of transportation to experience all the area has to offer.
The National Mall is a great place to start your explorations. Despite the name, the National Mall does not actually consist of any shops, but is rather the area where you can find most of DC's museums and attractions.
One of the most notable attractions in DC is the Washington Monument. Standing at over 555 feet and the tallest structure in DC, The Washington monument offers exhilarating views of over 30 miles. The Washington Monument is open from 9:00am-5:00pm with extended hours until 10:00pm between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Admission is free, however a ticket is required. Tickets can be reserved through the National Park Service. With its distinctive architecture and historical significance, The U.S. Capitol Building is another of DC's most popular landmarks. The Senate and House of Representatives have met at the U.S. Capitol building for over 200 years. The U.S. Capitol Building is open to the public from 8:30am-4:00pm Monday-Saturday.
You have a wide range of museums to choose from located on the national mall. From the National Museum of Natural History to the National Air and Space Museum to the National Gallery of Art, you will be sure to be entertained and enlightened throughout the day.
Before returning to your hotel room for the evening, we recommend checking out Jazz in the Sculpture Garden at the National Gallery of Art. Taking place every Friday evening from May 28-Sep 10, this is sure to be a refreshing way to end your exploration for the day. The National Gallery of Art is located at 7th Street and Constitution Avenue Northwest.
Or, if you've had enough sight-seeing for the day, come straight back to our hotel to "unwind". "Unwind" is a Westin evening ritual that takes place Monday-Friday in the Pinzimini lounge. Here, you can enjoy relaxing music, signature drinks such as our blood orange martini, and delicious appetizers. You will also have the opportunity to learn about several different Italian wines.
Day 2: Explore During the Day, Indulge in the Evening
Start your morning with an exhilarating jog or walk around Arlington. We highly recommend taking advantage of the jogging trails which are just steps away from our hotel. Our concierge can provide you with a map of the different routes, specially made for our hotel by Runners World magazine.
One exciting way to spend your day would be to take a trip to Georgetown, located only 4 miles from our hotel. The streets of Georgetown are lined with over 200 stores, specializing in clothing to books to electronics to arts & crafts. In addition to shopping, there are endless dining options of almost every ethnicity. If you enjoy seafood, make your way to the waterfront to one of many delicious seafood restaurants including Tony and Joe's and Sequoia. For dessert, you can't leave Georgetown without a stop into Georgetown Cupcake, DC's first bakery specializing in gourmet cupcakes.
Another interesting place to visit for the day is the National Zoo, located approximately 8 miles from our hotel. The National Zoo is the home to over 400 different species, including some of the rarest animals in the world. There are several fascinating programs that you can participate in every day- so make sure to check the program calendar before your visit. The National Zoo is located at the Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan Metrorail stop and is open from 10:00am-6:00pm April - October and 10:00am-4:30pm November - March.
After an eventful day of exploring the area, make your way back to our hotel to indulge in one of our in room massage therapies. Unwind during a sensory aroma akta massage, sooth your body and spirit with a calm mind massage, or melt your cares away with a revitalizing hot stone massage. Just contact our concierge to schedule an appointment.
Day 3: An Exhilarating Day of Sight-Seeing and Entertainment
Start your day with a visit to the fascinating International Spy Museum, located at the corner of 8th and F Streets Northwest (Gallery Place - Chinatown Metrorail Station). Although it is one of the only museums that charge an admission fee, it is well worth it. At the International Spy Museum you can spend hours learning all about the history of espionage around the world through fascinating exhibits and simulations. The museum is open from 9:00am-7:00pm daily and the admission is $18 for adults and $15 for children.
After you've gotten your fill of exhibits at the Spy Museum, make your way over to the Eastern Market. Located in the Capitol Hill Neighborhood, The Eastern Market is definitely more than just a market. Some things you can find here include fresh produce, arts and crafts, live music, and even dance classes!
After a busy day, relax and enjoy an inspiring performance. Every evening at 6:00PM you can enjoy a free show at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage. No tickets are required. Every night there is something new. Performances range from musical, to dance performances to plays.

Know Before You Go
There are no shuttles to the tree park but there is a very large parking space and the tree is free to view and enjoy!
The fairy-talesque Angel Oak tree in Charleston, SC, is thought to be one of the oldest living organisms east of the Mississippi River. It stands 65 feet (20m or 6 stories) tall, is 28 ft (8.5 m) in circumference, and an area of 17,000 square feet is shaded by its tentacular crown. The largest branch reaches 187 feet.
Estimated to be 400-500 years old, this Southern live oak has survived a number of hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. It was damaged by Hurricane Hugo in 1989 but recovered and continues to grow.
The tree's species is native to the lowland country of the coastal Carolinas. Live oaks tend to grow more outward than upward, however due to the Angel Oak's age, it has done both. Its branches reach in all directions, with some driving underground and then growing back up above the surface.
The name comes from the Angel Estate, owned by couple Justus Angel and Martha Waight Angel. However, local legends say the ghosts of former slaves appear as angels around the tree.
The tree is now property of the City of Charleston. Recently, a plan for apartment development near the Angel Oak has been scrutinized and fought against by the S.C. Coastal Conservation League. They argue that the development would alter the groundwater flow to the tree and clear the nearby forests whose root systems are intimately related with the Angel Oak.
The Angel Oak is featured in the novel The Heart of a Child by Emily Nelson. The area also hosts a number of artistic and social events throughout the spring and summer seasons.
There are no shuttles to the tree park but there is a very large parking space and the tree is free to view and enjoy!

The Iron Age in Northern Britain examines the impact of the Roman expansion northwards, and the native response to the Roman occupation on both sides of the frontiers. It traces the emergence of historically-recorded communities in the post-Roman period and looks at the clash of cultures between Celts and Romans, Picts and Scots.Northern Britain has too often been seen as peripheral to a 'core' located in south-eastern England.
Unlike the Iron Age in southern Britain, the story of which can be conveniently terminated with the Roman conquest, the Iron Age in northern Britain has no such horizon to mark its end. The Roman presence in southern and eastern Scotland was militarily intermittent and left untouched large tracts of Atlantic Scotland for which there is a rich legacy of Iron Age settlement, continuing from the mid-first millennium BC to the period of Norse settlement in the late first millennium AD.
Here D.W. Harding shows that northern Britain was not peripheral in the Iron Age: it simply belonged to an Atlantic European mainstream different from southern England and its immediate continental neighbours.

Howdy folks,
I couldn't be more excited than I am about today's blog post. I've been looking forward to it for weeks now because I'm so proud of the work here and the huge benefits it will deliver to customers. It's the culmination of nearly 18 months of work across Microsoft and is a great illustration of our vision:
"Identity is the new control plane"
With these new capabilities, Windows 10 and the Enterprise Mobility Suite (Azure AD Premium, Intune and Azure RMS) are modernizing enterprise mobility:
- We're eliminating the hassles of MDM enrollment. When a user joins their Windows 10 device to Azure AD, it will be automatically enrolled for MDM (based on corporate policy).
We're giving customers an end-to-end solution for securing their enterprise resource using policy based access control based on:
- Application sensitivity
- Device health and compliance state
- User profile/attributes/group membership
- Authentication strength
- Access location
- We're giving users access to both their cloud apps and their on-premises apps, all controlled by the same set of policies and protections.
- We're doing it all using the power of the cloud! No new servers to buy or network gear to install! No VPN to support! You can have then entire solution up and running in a few hours.
To walk you through the details of how this all works, I've asked Mahesh Unnikrishnan from the AD PM team to do a guest blog which you'll find below.
This is one of the coolest things I've had the privilege to work on here at Microsoft and I'm really glad we can finally share the details with you! Hopefully you'll be just as excited about it as we are.
And of course as always, we would love to get any feedback or suggestions you have!
Best Regards,
Alex Simons (Twitter: @Alex_A_Simons)
Director of Program Management
Microsoft Identity and Security Services Division
Hi there! I'm Mahesh Unnikrishnan, the PM responsible for integrating mobile device management (MDM) solutions such as Microsoft Intune with Azure AD. Alex's previous blog post introduced cool new capabilities in Windows 10 powered by Azure AD. With Windows 10, we're excited to enable automatic MDM enrollment of both corporate owned devices as well as personally owned BYO devices, powered by Azure AD.
As more organizations adopt a 'bring-your-own-device' (BYOD) friendly approach, their IT departments are faced with the challenge of ensuring corporate data stays secure on mobile devices. Devices pose ongoing risks to corporate data accessed from them. Devices are frequently lost/stolen, and jail-broken, they have risky apps installed on them and they a frequently configured insecurely (for example: no PIN/passcode, device encryption disabled etc.) MDM solutions help mitigate these risks by ensuring compliance with corporate security policies. To deliver a secure experience for applications across these devices, we've partnered closely with Microsoft Intune and Office 365. If you follow the blog, you've probably read about some of the work we've done here:
Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS): A suite of cloud services that protect corporate data on devices, within apps and in transit. This includes Azure AD Premium (for identity/access management), Azure Rights Management (for information protection and rights management) and Microsoft Intune (for MDM and mobile application management). Brad Anderson's blog post introducing EMS is a great source for more information.
Built-in mobile device management for Office 365: MDM capabilities powered by Microsoft Intune and Azure AD are built in to Office 365. These help manage corporate Office 365 data securely across a wide range of devices.
These are pretty exciting innovations and they've been greeted by strong customer demand. For example, in just over 1 year, 13000 customers have purchased the Enterprise Mobility Suite.
But Windows 10, we're really putting things into overdrive! With Windows 10 and the Enterprise Mobility suite, IT administrators can:
Create policy that requires automatic Intune MDM enrollment for corporate owned devices that are joined to Azure AD.
Require automatic Intune enrollment when an Azure AD account is added to a personally owned BYO device.
Create access policies in Azure AD Premium that use our cloud based conditional access engine to check a devices health and compliance state as reported by the Intune service before granting access to a corporate resource.
Note: We are working with third party MDM ISVs to support automated MDM enrollment and policy based access checks. I share more on that front later this year.
This powerful combination of capabilities, all based in the cloud, illustrates what Alex means when he talks about "Identity is the new control plane". Without a dollar of new on-premises infrastructure, you can quickly deploy an end-to-end solution for managing users, devices and critical applications like Office 365 in accordance with your corporate policy. And no other vendor offers this kind of complete, modern & entirely cloud based enterprise mobility solution.
Automatic Intune enrollment on corporate owned devices
In a previous post, Ariel Gordon illustrated how you can join a corporate owned device to Azure AD in the out-of-box experience on Windows 10. If you join your corporate owned device to Azure AD as part of setting up Windows 10, you're presented with a terms of use page, after successful authentication. This page provides information about the policies your IT administrator has configured in Microsoft Intune, to enforce on your device.
If you accept these terms, your device is joined to Azure AD and subsequently automatically enrolled for management with Microsoft Intune. You do not need to locate the appropriate app to use from the Windows Store or perform any manual steps to enroll your device! If you decline to have your corporate owned device be managed you will not be able to join the device to Azure AD.
Automatic Intune enrollment on personally owned devices
In a previous post, Venkatesh Gopalakrishnan illustrated how you can add an Azure AD account to a personally owned device. When you do so, you're presented with a terms of use page, after successful authentication. This page provides information about the policies your IT administrator has configured Microsoft Intune, to enforce on your device.
If you accept these terms, your Azure AD account is added to your device and subsequently enrolled for management with Microsoft Intune. This seamless experience saves you the trouble of having to enroll your device separately for management or perform other manual steps to do so.
If you decline to have your personally owned device be managed your Azure AD account will still be added to your device. You may continue to enjoy single-sign-on to some corporate resources or applications. However, you will be denied access to sensitive corporate resources or applications that your IT administrator has configured to allow access only from policy compliant devices.
Azure AD and Microsoft Intune – working together to keep corporate data secure
Your organization's IT administrator configures device management policies in Microsoft Intune. For instance, your IT administrator may require that devices have a PIN or passcode enabled on them, have encryption turned on and are regularly updated. Additionally they may choose to implement more sophisticated policies such as jailbreak detection etc. These policies are configured in the Intune console and are used by Microsoft Intune to evaluate whether a device complies with corporate policy.
Your organization's IT administrator configures conditional access control policies in Azure AD. For instance, your IT administrator may require that in order to access a cloud app used by your organization, users' devices need to be managed by Intune and compliant with the device management policy configured on Intune. These conditional access control policies are configured in the Azure AD portal and are used by Azure AD to determine whether to allow a user to access an application secured by it.
Microsoft Intune periodically evaluates whether your device is compliant with the required device management policies configured by your IT administrator. This compliance information is then reported to Azure AD. If your device falls out of compliance at a later stage (say the PIN/passcode was disabled on it), Microsoft Intune notifies Azure AD of the device being out of compliance.
There are a couple of other scenarios in which Microsoft Intune notifies Azure AD:
- Your device was lost/stolen and you reported that using the Intune self-service portal or app.
- Your device was offline for a long period and Microsoft Intune was unable to determine whether the device continues to comply with policy.
Now, let's say you're trying to access the cloud application secured by Azure AD. Your organization's IT administrator has configured a conditional access control policy for this application that requires policy compliant devices.
If your device complies with required device management policy and has been reported by Microsoft Intune as compliant, Azure AD will allow access to the cloud application. If your device falls out of compliance (say you disabled a PIN/passcode or turned off device encryption), Microsoft Intune reports the device as non-compliant and Azure AD will block access to the cloud application.
Additionally, when your device is found to be non-compliant with policy, Azure AD provides a link that helps you remediate the situation and regain access. This link launches the Intune app on your device, which can then tell you exactly why your device is out of compliance and how to remediate the situation. We believe this self-service remediation helps end-users remain productive without having to wait for IT administrators to help remediate access denied issues.
Conditional access control
The integration we're building between Intune and Azure AD enables IT administrators to rely on device compliance state reported by Intune, in order to determine whether to grant access to applications. This is powered by our conditional access engine which Alex has blog about previously.
A sample conditional access control policy your IT administrator would be able to configure is illustrated below:
|"Allow users in our finance department to access the Finweb portal only if they have performed multiple factor authentication and are using a policy compliant device."
Notice how this policy expresses requirements using a combination of conditions, in order to grant access to an application. These conditions include the identity of the user, the strength of their authentication as well as whether their device is considered policy compliant. Such policies can be configured in Azure AD on a per-application basis. Azure AD conditional access control enables your IT administrators to apply stricter access control policies for sensitive applications.
Conditional access control for cloud applications
Your IT administrator can configure conditional access control policies for cloud applications such as Office 365 and the other 2500-odd SaaS applications secured by Azure AD. If your IT administrator requires policy compliant devices to enable access to these cloud applications, Azure AD will leverage the compliance information reported by Intune in order to determine whether to allow access.
Conditional access control for on-premises applications
For on-premises applications there are two options to enable conditional access control based on a device's compliance state. For on-premises applications that are published through the Azure AD Application Proxy, you can configure conditional access control policies similar to how you'd do so for cloud applications. For more details, refer to Alex's blog post from earlier this year.
Additionally, Azure AD Connect (which should GA in the next week or two) will soon sync device compliance information from Azure AD to your on-premises AD (requires Windows Server 2016). ADFS on Windows Server 2016 supports conditional access control based on a device's compliance state. Your IT administrator can configure conditional access control policies in ADFS that use the device's compliance state as reported by Intune to secure on-premises applications.

Enjoyed the Supermeet in London on Friday, even though it was unusually quiet as far as FCPX went. Mike Horton was heard to say near the end :It is the future of editing , believe it or not" Obviously I do or I wouldn't still be using it.
What was most notable was the demo of Resolve 10, from Blackmagic. They has a third party looking after their stall, and no camera for us to play with, as they were off at some bi trade fair. Resolve 10 is now almost a complete fully fledged NLE, and…Continue

XDCAM Plugin news via Christina Jones
Everyone who is having a problem with ingesting from XDCAM memory card based and are having to use XDCAM Transfer / export your footage out then import it into FCPX, Sony has created a PLUG IN for this problem.
Now you can just use the import camera option and it will open up all your clips sort of like imovie. You can select your clips, create in and outs, and while importing you can still scrub through them. You can choose the "project" or create a new project for your clips to go into. It will directly go into FCPX wrapped as an mov. But it stays native.
This is only memory card based.
If you are using optical disc, you still need to go through XDCAM Browser. However, now they have added a feature where you use a shortcut and go straight into final cut after you have imported into XDCAM Browser, rather than having to export then re-import into final cut. A new feature, is that through XDCAM Browser since you are going right into final cut after, is you can store meta-data, water marks, etc. within your clips that you have added in XDCAM Browser and it will transfer over with your clips.
This is helpful when you have assistant editors / interns and you want your editor to find clips easier / faster.
All of the upgrades are free on the sony download site.

The Arguments for BlueHost:
BlueHost is one of the most popular web hosting companies in the world. And it's a company that's solely focused on what it does best: providing hosting for customers. It has all the major types of hosting, including shared, VPS, Dedicated and Cloud hosting. Their servers have all been switched over to SSD drives, which means that their servers are much faster than conventional hard drives.
Arguments against BlueHost:
BlueHost had a stellar reputation when it first started, but that reputation has begun to fade since it was bought out by Endurance International Group in 2012. The financial group purchased over 30 other hosting companies, in an attempt to defuse the competitive industry and turn it into a more profitable business. Many of the customers of companies acquired by EIG have noticed a decline in customer support and website uptime. While our tests have shown BlueHost to have one of the best uptime scores of any host, one can't ignore what many existing customers are reporting.
Arguments For GoDaddy:
GoDaddy is the world's largest domain registrar and web hosting company. Which means that the company offers lots of hosting options if you have a particular need for your company's website (i.e. Windows servers, unique IP address, etc.). They also offer unbeatable competitive prices, with hosting offers for $1/month and 99 cent .COM domain names. They also run a ton of promotions and coupons, check out the homepage of this GoDaddy promo code site. So price-wise, they are very reasonable.
Arguments Against GoDaddy:
GoDaddy will call you after you set up an account to try and up-sell you everything. If you try to call them, it'll be two hours tops. Instant chat was recently eliminated in the place of support tickets, which tend to be replied to in 48 hours or more, sometimes with unhelpful comments. Their backend, while it has made some improvements lately, is still difficult to navigate and so simple things like add a domain name to your hosting plan (do you know how to edit a zone file? Because you need to and they don't tell you how…unless you call them).
The Winner: BlueHost
BlueHost wins because, despite the complaints about EIG, we couldn't verify any claims about slower websites or slower customer support. We found BlueHost to be much faster when it came to server response time (probably due to the SSD drives), and customer support was…we gave up assessing GoDaddy out of frustration in our tests. And to celebrate: here's a bluehost coupon code website that'll save you 34% off their shared hosting plans.
Of course, one way to avoid all this to opt for free website hosting. Sites like Weebly and WordPress.com offer free hosting plans….however there are some catches that go along with it. Here we describe them for you:
WordPress.com is one of the most popular free platforms for websites and blogs. It provides a range of user-friendly options for creating and maintaining an online presence for your business or personal website. Unlike with self-hosted websites, owners of free WordPress sites are not allowed to host advertisements from popular advertising networks, such as Google AdSense. However, there are plenty of other ways to make money from your free site. Here are four of them:
Use Affiliate Links
WordPress allows you to add affiliate links to specific products, provided the products fit with the topic of your content. For example, if you have written a blog post about babies learning to walk, you might choose to provide links to child-safety products that help to prevent injury. Affiliate links can be placed anywhere on your website, using either link text or images. Always choose a reputable affiliate program, as linking to products and sites promoting pornography, gambling and illegal content could lead to account suspension. Amazon Associates is one of the most popular affiliate programs and has been approved for use on the free WordPress platform.
Sell Your Own Products
If you are running a business and plan to sell your own products or services, you can use PayPal buttons to allow website visitors to buy products directly from your site. You can also sell a range of digital products and downloads, such as e-books, podcasts, audio files, seminars and educational courses. If you sell products through other platforms, such as eBay, you can link to your shop through your website, helping to promote your products and increase your sales. In addition, some website owners ask readers for donations to help keep the site running.
Write Sponsored Posts
Once you have a significant amount of regular blog readers or website visitors, you can write sponsored posts on behalf of other companies. Usually, you will be required to write a review, product description or other promotional content to help a company market its business or specific product. If you have a large amount of followers and are becoming well-known within a particular field, companies may contact you directly to ask you to write sponsored posts. However, if your site is still new, you will need to contact a range of appropriate businesses to see if they are willing to pay for a post on your website.
Apply for WordAds
WordAds is the official advertising program used by WordPress. Adding WordAds to your free blog or website enables you to earn money based on the number of views the advertisements receive, which means that high-traffic sites can earn a significant amount of money. However, for a free site to qualify for WordAds, you need to have a large number of regular visitors. Alternatively, you can pay for a WordPress business plan or premium plan, which gives you automatic access to the WordAds program, as well as several other useful features.
WordPress.com provides a free platform to create blogs and websites for businesses and personal users. There are several different ways to monetize a free WordPress site, including selling your own products, adding affiliate links, writing sponsored posts and hosting WordAds advertisements. Using a combination of monetization techniques can help to generate income from your blog or website.

It was another marathon five-hour meeting before the Santa Barbara Planning Commission Wednesday in an attempt to clarify issues and make a final decision on the Troesh Diamond Rock Mine Conditional Use Permit.
An Ojai crowd of about 80 again filled the meeting room alongside residents of the Cuyama region to hear the Commission vote 4-to-1 in favor of approving the mine's C.U.P. after attaching two new restrictive measures.
However, the project still holds the potential of sending 80,000-pound gravel trucks down scenic Highway 33 through one of the Ojai's busiest intersections.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's top investigative agency said on Friday it was seeking to put under house arrest a prominent opposition leader charged with plotting mass disorder in protests against President Vladimir Putin.
The leftist Sergei Udaltsov is among several opposition figures charged with riots and violence against police during a protest against Putin in May on the eve of the former KGB spy's inauguration for a third presidential term.
The federal Investigative Committee, which answers only to Putin, has so far only barred the shaven-headed Udaltsov from travelling freely as he awaits trial.
But on Friday investigators said Udaltsov was not complying with that and they were now seeking house arrest.
"S. Udaltsov has not lived where he is registered for a long time and his mobile phones are often turned off, strongly complicating the summoning of the accused by the investigator," the committee said in a statement posted on its website.
Putin's critics accuse him of cracking down on dissent since his return to the Kremlin and say he has used the justice system to persecute his adversaries and the parliament to adopt laws aimed at stifling the opposition movement.
Udaltsov said a court hearing over whether to put him under house arrest was due on Saturday and that he expected it to endorse the Investigative Committee request.
"Unfortunately, this repressive politics is going on," Udaltsov told Reuters. "Naturally, their task is to limit my activity to a maximum extent."
Udaltsov has been repeatedly detained during opposition protests, in what his supporters say is a tactic intended to hamper his activism.
On Thursday another opposition activist was arrested over the protests in May, 2012, bringing to 12 the total number of people detained and awaiting trial in connection with the events. One person has already been convicted over the May unrest.
Law enforcement officials on Thursday also searched the offices of an anti-corruption organization led by another prominent opposition figure, Alexei Navalny.

Classic look with silver plated body and keys - as used by the band of the Royal Marines.
To minimise cleaning, lacquered saxes are sprayed with a thin layer of plastic lacquer which slightly dampens the resonance of the metal. In contrast, unlacquered silver plated saxes have an addional layer of metal providing extra resonance.....but it is harder to keep them clean. Is it worth the extra effort? Yes - for all that extra resonance, power & projection!
A pure, clean sound with a bit more power and edge than your average bari, this one could easily fit into almost any musical context.
The SERIES III saxophone goes on writing the story of the Selmer Sound : free and centered, the instrument offers excellent playability. It responds to the slightest breath or tongue modulation so that you can really express your personality. Some new features such as the double C# mechanism help create stable overall tuning and a well-balanced high register.
WHAT WE SAY - The Series 3 is a fantastic instrument. It is so easy to play and really sings!! You can just relax into this instrument and like a good sports car almost drives itself!!! All the keys are in the right place and it sits very comfortably in the hands. Like the Series 2 it is a solid instrument and projection is wonderful. If you want a sax at this price then the Series 3 is the one!
The Super Action Series II is Selmer's most traditional saxophone with a more laid back feel. It is a little more resistant with a tone that does not dominate, allowing the player to tailor his own sound.
In celebration of 125 years of the famous Paris factory Selmer have issued some stunning new models. These Jubilee saxes feature a rich gold lacquer, a redesigned bell to bow brace & octave key, and some beautiful delicate floral engraving that wraps around the bell and incorporates the Henri Selmer signature.
Supplied with:
Selmer Paris Flight Case
Selmer Paris S80 Mouthpiece
Selmer Paris Ligature & Cap
Selmer Paris Accssories Kit (Strap, Cloth, Swab, Cork Grease)

What a delight to play! From the moment I set air down this beast I knew I was dealing with a corker! It has that typical depth of tone that I associate with Selmer instruments, but more than that there is a smoothness and fluidity on hand, especially when skipping between registers – always an important plus point when dealing with baritone saxophones. Typical of Series III models, I find the tone to be more resonant than on the Series II – this can useful for more modern styles of music (pop/rock/funk/R&B etc) but, conversely, it will work for classical music so long as the correct choice of mouthpiece is used.
The intonation is spot-on, and the ergonomics feel extremely comfortable, as you would expect for an instrument of this value! The engraving is much more involved than on the Series II equivalent, including an engraved section up around the bow section. The sax also benefits from an integrated floor peg that attaches to the bell. If you don't want to make use of it, don't worry – it easily detaches, leaving two tidy little nubs that are permanently attached to the bell…altogether, a beauty of a sax!
fields of music. A pure, clean sound with a bit more power and edge than your average bari, this one could easily fit into almost any musical context. Exceptional quality engraving too... email@example.com
Jubilee Edition
-In the French jeweller's tradition, the new engraving, thinner thanks to an outline technique, decorates the bell and the bow, doubled on the ring by the original signature of the Founder.
- A new lacquer definition optimizes the quality of the play of light through shades of "gold" tone in the instrument's reflection.
- The neck key is redesigned through a lighter mechanism and subtly thinner outlines, thus becoming more elegant.
- In order to fulfil this new visual balance, the geometry of the "S" neck is imperceptibly modernized on a deep blue background even more recognizable.
- In keeping with a know-how of purely French manufacture, Selmer Paris signs its new "Series II" and "Series III" ranges with the seal of the essence of its difference.
Selmer Paris Saxophones
Since the creation of the Series 22 in 1921, Henri Selmer Paris has been one of the world's finest manufacturers of professional-level saxophones. Musicians who have performed on Selmer saxophones include John Coltrane, Michael Brecker, Rickey Ford, Ron Blake and Stan Getz.
Every sax players dream...a Selmer sax handmade in Paris. Instruments with class and character (and not a bad investment if you look at the second hand prices). Selmer (Paris) are generally regarded as the home of the saxophone having bought the original factory from Adolphe Sax. Most sax players consider the legendary Selmer Mark 6 as the best ever made. If you don't want to spend years and a great deal of money searching for a good Mark 6 then treat yourself to a new Reference sax!

OAK PARK (WWJ) – 'Tis the season to be jolly … and donate plasma.
"I give it for the cash; not to save lives," said Christopher Gadsden of Detroit, "only for the money."
Plasma donation has become a popular side business for some in Metro Detroit — especially during the holidays.
WWJ's Charlie Langton found Gadsden waiting his turn along with about 50 others outside CSL Plasma Center on 9 Mile Road in Oak Park, just outside of Detroit.
"I got here an hour early, actually, and I saw the line start to form and I'm like, let me get out there before I miss my spot," said Gadsden. "You don't wanna be here all day. If you was to get here at say, 10 o'clock, you're looking at two hours, three hours of being in here."
Gadsden is selling his plasma for money to by Christmas gifts.
"You can get $200 a month; and they try to do little deals where, like, the seventh donation you get an extra five dollars — just to keep drawing you back."
Gadsden said he's been doing the plasma thing for about three years; but now that he's found full-time employment, he thought about giving it up.
"I told them that once I got a job I'd quit donating, but I still need the extra money. So, I'm like go ahead and get it," he said. "Trying to buy my little brother a gift, so all the extra money adds up."
Donors typically receive $20 for the first donation and $30 for the second. After that it depends upon your weight and the total volume of plasma you donate
The donation process itself takes about 45 minutes. A donors sits hooked up to an automated plasmapheresis machine, which — through a needle in the arm — removes a donor's whole blood, separates the plasma into a container, then re-infuses the red blood cells back into the body.
The plasma is used in treating patients suffering from a host of life-threatening conditions, including hemophilia, shock or trauma, immune deficiencies, and other blood disorders.
Plasma centers typically allow donors to give plasma two times per week. Donors must be over 18, submit to a physical exam, and fulfill a few other qualifications.

I enjoyed this book because Edward travels to a lot of places and changes his feelings about people, but he always loses his friends. Edward changed—first he cared about himself and now he cares for everyone. Some things are funny and some are sad in the book, especially the feelings inside Edward's heart. My favorite part is when they dress Edward like a girl.
I recommend this book to people that like journeys or people who like explore places. PLEASE READ MORE BOOKS BY KATE DICAMILLO.

For those who are enthusiastic about getting the desired muscle mass, often getting the last leg of routine right becomes a tough fight. However, it's not a place for giving up. That's when names such as Wisntrol V come up. But a lot of people are often found to be skeptical about its effectiveness. After all, it is hard to believe one single product can do so much for your body. So let us analyze if it is after all a myth or reality:
Winstrol V is a product recommended for those looking to build muscle mass, lean muscles or lose fat content from body. As such, it works for body builders looking for muscle gain and athletes wanting to increase endurance while reducing fat and building lean muscles. It is available in form of tablets that can be orally administered. Its major ingredient, stanozolol is an orally active steroid which when consumed in form of tablets works to increase body's response towards muscle gaining diets and workouts. Top claims about its goodness include its ability to increase muscle strength, help increase endurance and reduce fat content. It is also claimed to improve muscle size gain, making them look bigger and hence, better.
Myth or reality?
The claims as mentioned above seem quite lucrative from point of view of this product being immensely helpful for body builders and athletes, both males and females. While a lot of people might dispel it as a myth, it is in fact a reality. Stanozolol is an orally active steroid and makes up this tablet. It is an anabolic compound which works towards enhancing body's functions. Chemically it is c17aa version of hormone dihydrotestosterone, a naturally produced hormone. By C17aa, it means the form present in Winstrol V is alkylated at carbon number 17. This seemingly minor change in its chemical structure allows the contents to reach liver where they are then broken down to enter the blood stream. Without this, the hormone would be broken down by body much before it can reach liver or be utilized by body. Winstrol V works by increasing nitrogen retention in body which in turn helps in increasing protein synthesis. That helps in building muscles, leading to the desired muscle gain. It further helps the muscle build up by limiting water retention by muscles. This means the muscles you get with product are not only strong from within but also look great from outside.
Based on the science behind this product, we can say Winstrol V is definitely a reality that delivers the claims it makes about its goodness. It is available in tablets with dosage of 10mg and 50mg. It is recommended to consume them for one bulking cycle of 6-8 weeks, which should be enough time to let this product produce the desired changes in your body. After its discontinuation, body's natural mechanism removes any traces of the consumed hormone except for what is naturally produced in the body.

{Link Up!} Bikini body beauties: A celebration of all bikini bodies
Very rarely do I get angry at mainstream media. They're trying to make money, and while I don't always agree with their tactics, I get it, and I just don't have the energy to rage against the machine at every turn. Today that changed. After reading a very powerful post about an experience Brooke Birmingham (a GGS Ambassador) had with SHAPE Magazine Online, I was infuriated.
You see, Brooke lost an incredible 172 pounds the right way, through healthy nutrition and exercise. SHAPE wanted to feature her in their Success Stories column, but after she sent in the picture below to feature on their site, they requested a different picture – one where she was wearing a shirt. Brooke, understandably, was upset by the request, and asked why. After a little back-and-forth, Brooke let SHAPE know she no longer wanted to be featured if they wouldn't post the picture of her in a bikini. All I can say is, "Way to go, Brooke!"
But, when I get angry about something, I'm like a dog with a bone. I need to do something to feel like I'm helping out. So in whatever small way I can, I want to encourage all women to feel comfortable in their own skin. And that starts with me. Girls Gone Sporty isn't about Laura Williams, it's about the GGS Community, but I have to put my money where my mouth is. I have to say, "charity starts at home," so if I want other people to start taking charge of their health and embracing the journey of fitness in all its shapes and forms, then I have to do it for me, too.
The truth is, I'm incredibly self-conscious about my body, much like many women. And that's not fair to me, and that's not fair to other women. My body has carried me through races, it has sustained me through hardships, it has given me the chance to go to awesome places and try awesome things, and it. is. beautiful. It deserves respect – my respect. And your body deserves your respect, too! (And the respect of everyone else, but like I said, charity starts at home.)
So, to throw off the shackles of my own repression, here are my bikini body pictures in all their makeup-free, long-limbed, Kardashian-booty beauty. I'm not going to say a word about where I am in my healthy journey, because that part doesn't matter. What matters is I'm exercising, eating healthfully, and treating my body with the respect it deserves, just like the amazing Brooke Birmingham!
Join the link up!
If you feel comfortable, I'd like to encourage you to take your own pictures, write your own posts, and link up to this post below. Let's stand in solidarity in all our bikini body glory, as a team of powerful women who are treating their bodies well – SHAPE Magazine be damned!

Crown Acquisitions and Highgate are under contract with global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group to acquire the trophy 27-story, 600,472-sq.-ft. glass and steel office and retail tower at 650 Madison Avenue for a purchase price of $1.3 billion.
"650 Madison Avenue is one of the finest properties in all of Manhattan, a trophy in every sense," said Stanley Chera, founding principal of Crown on behalf of the partnership of Crown and Highgate. "The unmatched location – outstanding for office and retail use–and the superior quality of the asset solidify its position as a trophy for generations to come. We look forward to continuing the trend established by Carlyle of value creation and excellence in ownership."
Encompassing the entire westerly block-front on Madison Avenue between 59th and 60th Streets, the class-A property features three distinct components: a 425,000-sq.-ft. class-A office tower; a 100,000-sq.-ft. custom medical-office space and 75,000 sq. ft. of retail space, with 200 ft. of Madison Avenue frontage. Earlier this year, ownership completed a capital improvement program that created a bespoke lobby, marquis canopy, super-transparent glass curtain wall entrance, and new elevators and common areas all designed by Moed de Armas & Shannon Architects.
Carlyle has completed more than 400,000 sq.ft. of leases at 650 Madison Avenue since acquiring the property in 2008. Currently 92 percent leased, 650 Madison serves as the international corporate headquarters for Polo Ralph Lauren Corp., which leases 276,829 sq. ft. of the space, and has major retail tenants including Crate & Barrel and luxury designer Tod's in its Madison Avenue frontage.
"We are delighted to reach this agreement with Crown and Highgate, two of the smartest real estate owners around, on the sale of 650 Madison Avenue," Robert Stuckey, Carlyle managing director and head of U.S. real estate, said in a statement. "This is a great outcome for our investors and validates our opportunistic approach."
Originally designed by prominent architecture firm Harrison & Abramovitz in 1957, 650 Madison Avenue is one block east of Central Park and adjacent to the GM Building. It was initially built as a 10-story, corporate headquarters for the CIT Corp. The office tower in its current form was designed by Fox & Fowle and redeveloped by Hiro Real Estate in 1987, adding 17 floors atop the existing structure and boasting panoramic views of Central Park.
Adam Spies and Douglas Harmon of Eastdil Secured acted as exclusive broker in this transaction.

The past few decades have seen a growing number of local farmers returning to the old ways. Ranchers and local farmers are opting to keep their animals home on the range, allowing them to forage on pasture instead of being sent to feedlots where they are fattened up on GMO grain and soy, fed antibiotics (which is adding to our own antibiotic resistance), and forced to live under the worst of conditions. Besides being cruel and inhumane, factory farming leads to incredible environmental degradation, and yields food that is subpar in nutrient quality.
By allowing animals to roam on pasture consuming their native diet, we are not only freeing them from the cruelty of factory farming, but we are supporting local famers and businesses as well.
Furthermore, grass-fed meat, eggs, and dairy products are much healthier. Compared with feedlot meat, grass-fed meat has less cholesterol, saturated fat, and total fat, and more vitamins and nutrients. Grass-fed foods have been found to be higher in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B, C, D, E and K, beta-carotene, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and more.
When you choose grass-fed you are choosing health, animal welfare, and local business. You are supporting the small-scale farmer, the environment, and your family's health and nutrition. Visit farmfreshdirect2u.com for a selection of grass-fed meat, eggs, and dairy as well as organic produce, kombucha tea, healthy snacks, and other locally sourced foods.

|Abdullah Badawi
Malaysia's leader Abdullah Badawi told business leaders gathered in Hong Kong Monday the Islamic world must do all it can to end poverty among all Muslims.
"The threat to the Muslims is not really terrorism, not extremism, the threat is poverty and illiteracy and we must do all we can to eliminate this," said Mr. Badawi.
Mr. Abdullah, who currently chairs the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Conference, says the time has come for the OIC to emphasize the economic development of its members. He says Muslim populations must not only strive for peace, but also for economic vitality. Many of the OIC's members are developing countries in Africa and the Middle East.
"OIC has been very much concerned about political issues all these years, and spending a lot of time talking about issues relating to the situation in the Middle East," continued Mr. Abdullah. "But what we are trying to do is we want to give an economic business face to Islam."
Malaysia has recently been taking steps to promote Islamic banking and finance. Next week, senior officials from the Islamic Development Bank, the funding agency of the OIC, will meet in Kuala Lumpur to discuss and formulate economic programs for the organization's poorer members.
Mr. Abdullah also called for moderation in the practice of the Islamic faith and for the Muslim world to show that Islam is a "progressive religion." The Malaysian president urged Muslims to enter into inter-faith dialogues to encourage greater understanding.

Spiritual direction is an ancient ministry, a unique one-to-one relationship in which a trained person assists another person in the search for an ever-closer union of love with God.
Stillpoint offers a two-year training program in The Art of Spiritual Direction, and also provides references and resources for persons who are seeking spiritual direction.
Tens of thousands of people around the world meet regularly with their spiritual director to explore the interior movements of their spiritual lives.
Directors listen carefully to the unfolding of directees' lives, to help them discern the ways in which God is leading them.
Spiritual Directors meet regularly (usually once a month) with persons who are seeking to share and explore their journeys of faith. The term "spiritual direction" has a long, rich history, and the term is still used today even though the practice of spiritual direction consists much more of "holy listening," rather than direction in the sense of offering guidance or direct advice.
People experience and respond to God, or the Divine, in different ways, influenced in part by their life experience, personality structure, and cultural background.
The focus of spiritual direction is discerning the movement of the Spirit in the life of the directee.
A Spiritual Director is a privileged witness in the spiritual unfolding of another person. The focus is on the relationship between the "directee" and God, much more than on the relationship between the director and directee.
Stillpoint offers widely respected training programs in spiritual formation and in the Art of Spiritual Direction. See our Programs Page for details.
In southern or central California, Stillpoint can refer you to a trained Spiritual Director, selected according to your own discerned needs and requirements. To explore the possibility, without commitment, please fill out the inquiry form.
If you are in a geographical area other than southern or central California, visit Spiritual Directors International at sdiworld.org.
Liz Budd Ellmann of Spiritual Directors International explains it this way:
Spiritual direction explores a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human. Simply put, spiritual direction is helping people tell their sacred stories everyday. Spiritual direction has emerged in many contexts using language specific to particular cultural and spiritual traditions. Describing spiritual direction requires putting words to a process of fostering a transcendent experience that lies beyond all names and yet the experience longs to be articulated and made concrete in everyday living. It is easier to describe what spiritual direction does than what spiritual direction is. Spiritual direction helps us learn how to live in peace, with compassion, promoting justice, as humble servants of that which lies beyond all names.

All right, all right. They`ve heard them before, the jokes about how a champion lifeguard is the one with the best tan line by summer`s end, or the biggest biceps under the sun. Or the one who`s perfected sleeping with his eyes open up in the chair.
Give these guys a little respect.
At dawn Thursday more than 500 of the beach warriors will rise, some with quivering knees and jellyfish tummies, and head for Oak Street Beach. There the throngs of bronzed, muscle-packed bodies, aged 9 to 15, will swim, paddle, tow in buoys, run through the sand and play a game akin to musical chairs with beach flags-all feats on the way to the Midwest Regional Junior Surf Lifeguard Championship Medal of Honor.

The UK government is in chaos after shocking comments from Business Secretary Vince Cable who said that he had "declared war" on Rupert Murdoch and "could bring down the government" to an undercover reporter at the Telegraph.
Cable has since been taken off Rupert Murdoch's deal for his company News Corp. to buy the UK based BSkyB.
The Business Secretary role is a rather small one in the UK's cabinet. Cable, known for being a boisterous character, was brought into the Liberal Democrat - Conservative government so he wouldn't stand in opposition from the bank benches of Parliament. There he could have pulled LibDem votes away from the coalition who need them desperately to pass austerity cuts.
Cable is currently fighting against some of the more aggressive proposals made by the coalition from within the cabinet. And he likely has a lot more fighting to do, as the UK's borrowing surged to its highest level ever in November.
Cable has apologized for his comments, but that doesn't mean he's going to be any different now. He still holds, what he calls, the "nuclear option." If he walks out on the government, Cable believes it will fall and there will be another election.
Right now, that might not be such good news for the Conservatives or the Liberal Democrats. The debate and rioting over the increase in tuition fees has ignited the Labour base.
Labour is on 39%, the Conservatives 38%, and the Liberal Democrats 11% in the latest poll from Ipsos Mori.
If the government was to fall and an election held, it's completely uncertain what the following government would look like. But if Ed Milliband's Labour Party were to take control, or form a coalition with the more left wing Liberal Democrats, many of the cuts markets are banking on may disappear.
One of the reasons for the pound's drop today.

Feast your eyes...
Pics from vogue.com
Why was everyone going so insane about this collection? Well, apart from Ford's 6 year hiatus in womenswear design, the show was ULTRA SUPER-EXCLUSIVE - even for fashion week! Only a few key insiders and photographer Terry Richardson were allowed and pics from the show have been kept in a locked safe guarded by giant tigers and rabid blood-thirsty fashion harpys since... Probably.
Oh yeah, and of course, THE MODELS! Um... Beyoncé Knowles, Lauren Hutton, Liya Kebede, Rinko Kikuchi, Stella Tennant, Amber Valletta, Natalia Vodianova, Karen Elson, Karlie Kloss, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Julianne Moore...
...Sorry, did I mention freakin' BEYONCE?
But enough about all that, now to the clothes. I adore this! It's got everything I look for - fringing, texture, shape, tailoring... And that last shot of Karen Elson in that dress with THAT necklace - CRIPES I'm all agog.
There's animal print and turbans and vibrant colour and big hair, but not a hint of tacky. (yeah, Lanvin I'm looking at you...) Classy and aspirational. I want to be a Tom Ford gal.
According to vogue.com Tom Ford had this to say:
I do not understand everyone's need to see everything online the day after a show. I don't think it ultimately serves the customer, which is the whole point of my business—not to serve journalists or the fashion system. To put something out that's going to be in a store in six months, and to see it on a starlet, ranked in US magazine next week? My customer doesn't want to wear the same thing she saw on a starlet!
(Ummm, I can get his point, but the last sentence seems a little bizarre since why else would he chose the likes of Beyonce and Julianne Moore to model for him? Can't QUITE get my head round that. He continues:)
There's a continuity from what I was doing at YSL at the end; that's the customer. It's about individuality. Real clothes, real women. For a fashionable woman aged 25 to 75. That's why I literally put many of my own muses in the show. I hear them say, 'God, I can't find that anywhere!' "
More pics to be released in the months ahead, I'll be obsessively googling Beyonce Tom Ford Show till then.
EDIT: Here's some more pics from Harpers Bazaar UK:
Emily Blunt, you are tooooooooo gorgeous for words. And you are absolutely working that fringed dress

Bright Eyes Padriac My Prince tab
Padriac My Prince Bright Eyes Normal Tuning Am I had a brother once G He drowned in a bathtub F E Am before he'd ever learned how to talk G And I don't know what his name was F but my mother does E I heard her say it once Am Padraic my prince, I have all but died G From the sheer weight of my shame F You cried but no one came E And the water filled your tiny lungs Am Appear, my dear, and cry for me G Six years ago today F That I laid you in your grave E Your sweet young skin was shining then too Am F So tonight to celebrate i will... G I will poison myself Am F Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom G That is spinning C G So I close the door Am And I rest my head on the tile floor C G Am Sickness and sleep turning me cold C G I'm still not sure Am F Is there some better place I could be heading towards? C G Am Where the selfishly sick and self-absorbed... Am Are welcome Am I saw the future once G I was drunk in a phone booth F My eyes were wet and red E Am But I could not tell what was said G And through the screams of the traffic F Voices carried E Saying I'm sorry Am On a day so gray it's black inside G Watching churches on TV F In a coma you don't dream E You just hope that someone sits with you Am Babies turn blue when they're ignored G Like the sky on summer days F Before you turn and walk away E It has changed you Am F So tonight to compensate I will... G I will poison myself Am F Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom G That is spinning Am E Good Song. Listen to song for strumming, it's pretty easy... Have fun.

Hey, 1988! Our February cover story that year was New York pizza. Every legit pizza magazine (hey, there's really only one, right?) has to have the perennial history-of-pizza-in-the-US story, and all roads led to New York City in this issue.
Gennaro Lombardi is generally credited for opening the first American pizzeria way back in 1905. Until the mid 1940s, however, pizza wasn't widely known in the country. The New York pizza scene is full to bursting now, with a pizzeria on every street corner hawking just about every imaginable type of 'za.
We recently trekked to NYC to cover what purists might consider industry "newbies." Motorino and Kesté Pizza & Vino both have opened within the last five to six years. Both serve Neapolitan pizza. Both are operated by chef-owners who have taken hands-on approaches to their businesses. And both have garnered attention on a national level.
Here's the kicker: are these two considered New York pizzerias? Other than physical addresses, they better meet the standards of traditional Neapolitan pizza. What does this mean? In our opinion, the face of pizza is changing.
Never before have we seen such an emphasis on the words "fresh," "local," "artisan" and "made from scratch." In a saturated market, standing out is critical, and both Kesté and Motorino have managed to do this in a relatively short amount of time.
