Ha, Ha! I needed "normal" yesterday, Larissa. I was teaching "Caregiver Orientation" classes to a group of couples interested in becoming foster or adoptive parents. Three out of the 7 couples who were registered for this weekend's class were Philipino, During he break, I told some of the women about your work in their country.. I waited for your "snapshot Sunday" so I could show it to them…but no, maybe next time! I guess you can't please everyone every time!
Love you,

5 important things to think of when conducting usability testing of voice interaction using voice controlled assistants.
Jan 11
Over the last year there has been a significant increase in the use of voice controlled assistants such as the Amazon Echo or the Google Home, with over 17 million devices estimated to have been purchased over the last three months alone.
As sales of these devices have boosted more companies are starting to develop systems to work with voice interaction and we are seeing an increase in different ways people can use their devices, some of these are new services such as making calls or sending message others are new channels for existing services such as asking the weather, ordering their online groceries or even ordering a taxi.

We're delighted and honoured to announce that SimpleUsability Founder & MD, Guy Redwood, has been asked to speak at the Playtech Academy during next month's ICE event.
With over 30,000 attendees from more than 150 countries, ICE Totally Gaming is the B2B gaming event that brings together the international online and offline gaming sectors.
Guy will be presenting a demo of our research and explaining how we've helped Playtech develop even better gaming products through understanding the needs and experiences of real users.
In today's digital world, our online presence is expanding and so too are risks from hackers and phishers. So with this continual expansion of the digital world comes a need for improved security.
But as security measures have improved they have also become more complex. Multi-factor authentication is now commonplace, and logging into online platforms is no longer a walk in the park. It takes concentration, accuracy and an awfully good memory. So with these advances in security, the usability of getting rightful access to our products and services has tended to suffer. However, this is not something that is going unnoticed amongst us UX professionals, as alongside security advocates, we have recognised that we must find a balance, because as Jared Spool points out 'if it's not usable, it's not secure'.

If you visit an e-commerce site, a travel site, or any website where users are given multiple products to choose from, the chances are it will have some form of filtering and sorting function to help a user choose what they would like.
Every day, more and more people are choosing to shop online, and if they can't use your site to find something they like or need, then there is a good chance they may not come back.
In this article, I will discuss the benefit of using filters and sorting, and highlight a few ways you can use these tools to help your users find what they are looking for. I have concentrated on fashion sites for the examples, but they can be applied to many more sectors.

Web form validation
Oct 26
There is nothing more frustrating than having the task of filling out a badly designed online form. With there now being around 3.2 billion of us using the internet around the world, it's becoming a more common experience for us all.
Form validation is essential as it ensures that data stored about a user is in the correct format, and hopefully correct as well. As UXers we want to make form entry as smooth as possible, while also ensuring the data is valid.
In this article, we look at different validation techniques and how they affect the users' experience.

Help features are typically only used as a last resort. Whether it be an electronic appliance or a web application, most users will not read instructions until they feel stuck, and even then they might not. There are two key reasons for this:
- Firstly, due to prior experience users often regard help as unhelpful. Masses of text and pages of irrelevant FAQs have led them to simply ignore it.
- Secondly, as usability continues to improve, users are learning to rely on their own intuition. They expect to be able to self-serve and navigate through a website themselves, so requesting help seems to have become associated with ego depletion.
You might wonder if that makes help features redundant, but we know that users still need help. So the challenge is finding a better way, or ways, of providing it. In this article, we will discuss the helpfulness of some familiar help features from the perspective of how the user gets the help – is it pushed towards them or do they need to seek it out and pull it for themselves? We call this Push and Pull help:

On Wednesday 24th May 2017, it was great to see the digital community come together to learn and be inspired by this year's Camp Digital event in Manchester. Many great talks were given on topics of usability, design and accessibility, but the one session that stood out for me was the workshop I took part in, given by Molly Watt and Chris Bush, about using and understanding assistive technologies.
Chris Bush kicked the workshop off by giving us an insight into the vast number of people that suffer from a long-term illness or disability, equating to around 15% of the UK's population. With this striking figure in mind, the question 'Why design for inclusion?' was proposed. To help us understand why, Chris introduced Molly Watt, who began by sharing her story on why she is so passionate about this subject.

How do you describe what you do for a living?
Digital marketing executive? Ecommerce manager? UX/UI Designer? User researcher? Customer insight manager? User experience lead?
Does this change depending on who you're talking to? Chances are, you have a different answer to this question whether you're networking at a conference, catching up with old friends, or making small talk with your great aunt at a cousin's wedding.

UX Mentors, is an annual Manchester-based event for students who want to get started in a career in UX. It is organised in conjunction between Sigma and Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). Last week I was delighted to join the team of mentors that included User Experience experts from Sigma, Mando, Autotrader and Shop Direct for the 2017 event.
This year the theme was the Google Sprint, and sprint we did, as we aimed to move through the 5-day process in around 6 hours! The process, as described in the book by Joel Knapp, is an end-to-end process from defining a key problem to solve, through rapid ideation and design to validation with users. Although we were not able to do every step, the Sprint model provided a great format for getting hands-on experience of a number of key UX techniques.
We kicked off the day with a brief, including objectives, scope and target audience, and drew up a user journey map. The brief was to design a mobile app to help low-income people with budgeting. My team drew on their experiences as students to develop a quick persona and draw up the journey of how such user would get started on the app, and then identified pain points and opportunities to design a solution.

Onboarding screens are designed to introduce users to how the application works and what main functions it has, to help them understand how to use it. As a user experience practitioner, I have experience testing onboarding screens with users and often get asked by clients what is the best way to implement a good onboarding experience to introduce users to an app. Onboarding can be a challenge to get right, especially when trying to meet both business requirements and user needs. The business wants to show users the key features and unique aspects of an app but often in user testing we observe users simply moving through onboarding screens without paying attention to them.
So what to do? In this article, I'll share learning from our experience testing onboarding screens with a review of the different ways which apps implement onboarding to engage and educate users on their app.
So, let's start with the don'ts
- Don't use too many words. We've seen in user testing that users find wordy onboarding screens unengaging and this often results in users not reading the information or forgetting this information when they arrive on to the app. Consider the amount of information you are presenting your users with and try not to overload them to avoid them looking for a way to exit or skip.
- Don't include too many screens… or too few! Think about the length of your onboarding process, too many screens result in users swiping through without paying any attention to the content. On the contrary, although users want a short, snappy, engaging welcome to an app they still need enough information to understand how to use the app and what the benefits of using it are.

I read somewhere recently a tip on eating healthy.
Drink water.
Duh, right?
But what they were saying is that when you have a junk food pig out, what do you usually wash it down with? A big ole bottle of water? Probably not.
A lot of foods just seem to go hand in hand with junky drinks. And as I sit here snacking on a bag of chips left over from my munchkin sleepover I'm realizing this idea holds some weight. I'd give my right boob for a Coke right now. Or at the very least some apple juice.
Don't drink your calories. Don't drink your calories. Don't drink your calories.

By Victoria Cavaliere
(Reuters) - The Archdiocese of San Francisco has issued an apology to homeless people who endured frequent dousings from a sprinkler system while sheltering at night on the grounds of its principal church, a spokesman said on Thursday.
St. Mary's Cathedral had placed the sprinklers in four exterior alcoves to deter people from sleeping there and to keep the area clean but had no idea some individuals were enduring the showers, said spokesman Larry Kamer.
"The church felt terrible when it learned people were getting drenched," he said. "The irony is that St. Mary's is the hub of homeless services for the church."
St. Mary's former rector decided to place the sprinklers in the alcoves two years ago after the doorways and a path that adjoins a neighboring school became littered with crack pipes, hypodermic needles, condoms and human waste, Kamer said.
"There was a persistent problem in those four alcoves and folks who were sleeping there were told they were going to go in," Kamer said. "It worked for the better part of a couple years," he said.
Recently, some people had again started sheltering in the alcoves at night, some using umbrellas to endure showers programmed for about one minute every 30 minutes to an hour.
The sprinklers were torn out on Wednesday after local radio broadcaster KCBS interviewed some of the homeless people who said their blankets and belongings were soaked multiple times each night.
"We're going to be wet there all night, so hypothermia, cold, all that other stuff could set in. Keeping the church clean, but it could make people sick," one man told the broadcaster.
The archdiocese issued a statement apologizing to those who got wet.
"We are sorry that our intentions have been misunderstood and recognize that the method used was ill-conceived," it said. "The purpose was to make the Cathedral grounds as well as the homeless people who happen to be on those grounds safer."
Kamer said officials at St. Mary's have not yet decided how to resume efforts to keep people from sheltering in the archways, but they were exploring other options.

This is a rush transcript from "Special Report," July 5, 2013. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
JORDAN SEKULOW, AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW AND JUSTICE: Here we are, you know, a month-and-a-half later, not one of our 41 clients who have filed suit in federal court against IRS, the IRS and IRS officials, have been contacted by the FBI.
SHANNON BREAM, ANCHOR: The IRS, all right each week we ask you to vote in our Friday Lightning Round poll for your favorite topic. Today you chose the investigation into the IRS targeting scandal, or lack thereof, by some accounts. We're back with our panel. Chuck, what do you make of it?
CHARLES LANE, EDITORIAL WRITER, WASHINGTON POST: Well, I'm in the lack thereof camp. And, you know, the more we learn about this, the more we learn that groups across the ideological spectrum were being parsed for their political content by the IRS. Senator Roy Brown of Missouri, a Republican today, made a statement suggesting that, well, maybe this wasn't quite the scandal we thought it was in the first place.
BREAM: All right, what do you think, Jonah?
JONAH GOLDBERG, AT LARGE EDITOR, NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE: Well, it seems to me that at minimum if the President of the United States goes on live television to denounce an outrage and insists that they're going to investigate this fully, that you would at least get the FBI to start investigating it at all. And that seems to be a low standard. Whether it turns out to be the scandal I think it is and you don't think it is, that's one thing. But it doesn't sound like they're even trying to figure that out.
BREAM: And Charles, at least for appearances sake you would think that it would be good for the administration to look at the FBI, that an agency is on it?
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: If you had a press that had any backbone. But in the absence of that, outside of Fox --
BREAM: Present company excepted, of course.
KRAUTHAMMER: Outside of Fox, there's nothing the administration has to worry about. You mount an investigation. You then deflect any question, by saying, I can't talk about it because it's being investigated. You do nothing about it, and then you wait. You let other news and scandals overtake it, like explosions in Egypt, and then you count on the press to say nothing, and then it dies in time. And that's the strategy on Benghazi, on the Rosen affair, and on this. That's how they do it -- their MO.
BREAM: All right, today we're also going to talk about jobs numbers that came out today. Unemployment says at 7.6 percent. Here is a bit of what Alan Krueger, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, had to say about these numbers today.
ALAN KRUEGER, COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISERS CHAIRMAN: We've seen solid job gains over the last six months, 1.2 million jobs added over that period. Over the last 40 months we've added 7.2 million jobs. We have a deep hole that we're digging our way out of. The hole was created by the severe recession back in 2008. We're making progress. We want to build on this progress.
BREAM: Jonah, they're doing the best they could with the Bush mess they were given.
GOLDBERG: Yeah, this is a summer recovery three, four, I can't keep it straight. Look, it's a better jobs report than they've had in a while. And so when you grade on a curve, you know, it's sort of like the best Oktoberfest in Orlando. It's saying something. But, most -- a huge chunk of these jobs are these part-time jobs that are the kind of jobs that get created by the ObamaCare mandate. These are the kind of jobs that people settle for when they can't find the kind of jobs that they want. We still have a pretty rough economy.
GUPTA: In Wendell Goler's report today from the White House, he said the number of people working only part-time, though they wanted full-time jobs, has taken its biggest jump in eight months. Chuck?
LANE: Well, you guys just stole the negative points I was going to make so I'm forced to say something positive about this jobs report, which was, for goodness sakes, this is -- with the corrections of the last two months, three straight months of approximately 200,000 jobs, which is the pace the Fed is looking for to justify its taper later on this year. So I think, it's obviously too slow. It's not sufficient growth, it's not going to make anyone happy. But the economy you could say is reaching a soft landing, and at least we're still moving in the right direction.
BREAM: Alright, and a lightning-ish answer from you, so we can get to everybody's winners and losers.
KRAUTHAMMER: You're both right. You've got a little clockwise spin, a little counterclockwise spin, and the result is that it's not moving. To change analogies, we're treading water.
BREAM: We are -- 7.6, it stays there. All right, now --
KRAUTHAMMER: Was that short enough?
BREAM: Yeah that was -- listen, by Krauthammer standards that's brevity at its most.
GOLDBERG: But the shock that ensued is eating up all the time now.
BREAM: It is. OK, and we want to make sure we get through everybody's winners and losers this week. So we'll go right down the line and Jonah, I'm very interested to hear about yours.
GOLDBERG: OK, so, the -- I'll start with my losers. The pro-abortion rights groups in Texas, they rallied around a woman who took a position that 80 percent of the American people don't like and they ended up violating one of the oldest rules in public relations, don't yell "Hail Satan" on national TV. The winner --
BREAM: But even the Satanist groups come out and say we're not associated with that.
GOLDBERG: And then the Church of Satan themselves condemned them.
BREAM: Right.
GOLDBERG: Which is just a wonderful move. And then my winner is King Albert of Belgium, who finally threw off the gilded shackles of the throne, decided to abdicate, and in a PR triumph reminded the world that Belgium has a king in the first place.
BREAM: Yeah, fascinating. All right, Chuck?
LANE: I think it's King Albert, actually.
GOLDBERG: When he was a prince he was in a can.
LANE: Yeah, exactly.
Well, my winner this week, picking up on what we were just talking about with the jobs report is the Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke because he's been criticized from both sides on his monetary policy, but it looks like he's getting some results now. And my loser, it's obvious Mohamed Morsi, the now ex-president of Egypt –
LANE: -- who has lent new meaning to the term overplaying your hand. You know, made a hash out of his one year as president.
BREAM: Charles?
KRAUTHAMMER: ObamaCare is the big loser. The announcement of the delay in the employer mandate, it's a train wreck and it's now started. The winner, Bashar Assad. You might remember that it was Morsi who called a few weeks ago for a jihad of Sunnis against Syria, which sort of angered Assad. And now he gloats that he's in power, and he's winning his war and Morsi is in some undisclosed location under police protection.
BREAM: It's going to be a long week for him.
KRAUTHAMMER: Could be longer than a week.
BREAM: Yeah. All right, well, gentlemen, thank you very much. Winners and losers all, you're all winners is what I mean by that, as are our viewers. Thank you for voting in this week's Lightning Round poll.
That's it for the panel. But stay tuned.

So I went on a road trip today from my hometown, Santa Ana, to Pala. On my way there, we stopped at a Gas Station by the Lake Elsinore Outlets. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something that I instantly decided to buy two of.
I saw them and was debating on whether I should get my hopes up or not.
I usually don't share selfies but sorry you will have to see my face haha
They are so gooooooood! The only problem: they have to be voted for in order for lays to keep them!
I just thought I should let me fellow Korean bbq lovers know! 💕

Only three episodes into RuPaul's All Stars Drag Race, and already a few things are undeniably true: 1) The season is too short, and yet 2) The All Stars format doesn't perfectly translate to the Drag Race pedigree. Sure, it's been great seeing these ladies again, but I'm not finding each episode quite as thrilling as before.
Some self-awareness is obviously absolutely necessary for a drag performer, but there's something more going on this season. It's more than just awareness of being on camera. Is it maybe that they all want to continue to be in the good graces of Ru herself or else risk losing a place? Drag queens will always be drag queens, but anecdotally it feels like we're seeing them more in more in print, TV, and online. Is RuPaul to blame/congratulate? But I digress. Let's rate episode 3…
Drag-o-Meter Rating 1/5: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Nothing, Julie Newmar!
- There are only 3 more episodes left…really? Dreadful.
- Oh girl, what was Shannel's messy streets of LA look? That wig was just awful, and I question the choice of black halter dress over black capris leggings.
- Michelle Visage's judging look is barf. It sent me into a seizure.
Drag-o-Meter Rating 2/5: You bettah work!
- Jujube's "butch" look is just her as a hobo. A hobo with really good brow lines, though.
- Latrice rightfully points out that daytime outdoor lighting and drag queens do not mix. She right!
- I wish Santino would just admit he's balding, but something about this monk realness doesn't bother me so much.
- It's sad to see Manila and Jujube battle it out. Can't the Asian girls ever get a break on this show? Manila "accidentally" knocks Jujube's painting off the All Star Wall at the end.
Drag-o-Meter Rating 3/5: [snaps!]
- Yes, finally some one-on-one Pit Crew time, though all they do is walk out with cameras on silver trays. And wear Andrew Christian underwear obvy. Which now that I think about it, eww…gross.
- Aww, Manila has a big picture of herself and Sahara Davenport in her pink locker. Sad face emoticon.
- What are the chances that the show didn't get a permit to film on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? I'd say no more than 20%. The props are "hidden" in a trash can, after all.
- Alexis Mateo says hello to a Manila Luzon "impersonator" on the street. Now that is some meta shit right there.
Drag-o-Meter Rating 4/5: Heyyyyyyyy Girl!
- The main challenge requires the girls to go out on the streets of LA to get strangers to do weird shit. Because? Because!
- Raven spends most of the main challenge stuffing grapes in a homeless man's mouth and dispondently calling people "bitch."
- Who is the intern who came up with all of this random stuff? Too many to count.
- Yara Sofia's mid-90's Latina mall realness. Sí!
- While waiting for the challenge to actually start, Chad hangs out onto the street from a light post. Like just cuz. He is a drag queen who had plastic surgery to look more like Cher. You know…just hooking it on the street no biggie.
- This show is known for its offbeat choice of guest judges, especially in pairs. This week's no different with Rachel Dratch and Janice Dickenson. Is there a talent agency specializnig in people who were famous 5 years ago? I kind of love them both, though. I bet they were thrilled to be on the show too.
Drag-o-Meter Rating 5/5: Sickening!
- Manila photographs with a banana coming out of her jeans for the "butch look" challenge.
- Jujube gets a total stranger to let her squirt whipped cream down his pants. He barely acknowledges any of it. It's as if she said to a stranger, "hey, it's a 4 pm," and the stranger nonchalantly responds, "oh, yah, it is." Whipped cream aloof realness.
- Raven's Harajuku 19th Century hooker look is so genius and flawless. The peekaboo red panties are maybe my favorite part. Plus her face is totally transformed and fierce.
- Manila's haute couture runway look is also killer. She should win for the stiletto fascinator alone.
Quotey Quote Quotes
"You looked like Tran Drescher" -someone referring to Jujube's look in the second episode
"Chad Michaels looks like Burt Reynolds and Cher had a baby." -Shannel
"Can I borrow 5 dollars?" "Um…not him." -Jujube and Raven, after the former approaches an obviously homeless man
"Good from afar / far from good." -Latrice's apparent motto
"Little Raven is crowing." -Michelle
"Chad is giving us punk rock Carol Brady." -Michelle
"It's the most frightening mobile you could put over your child's crib." -Rachel about Yara's clothesline-inspired hair
"What was the hardest part [of squirting whipped cream down his pants]?" "His penis." -the judges and Jujube
"Now Michelle, you believe in a simple hairline?" -Ru
"Your runway presentation was hairtacular, but your street performance came up…bald." -Ru, regarding Yarlexis…and puns

projects / seemann
The game SEEMANN is the result of a game design course. Indented as mini game it has the potential to bond the player for a long time period.A small set of rules and an abstract level design makes it easily accessible without long introductions.
The player is represented by a sailor standing on the mainland. Fixed at shore the character rotates in direction of the cursor position. By clicking the mouse a stone is thrown into the water to create waves and thereby moves small ships on the lake. The position of the impact is defined randomly in a radial area around the current mouse position. The degree of the diffusion grows equally to the distance between the sailor and the mouse coordinates. The larger the span the more imprecise the shot. With the aid of the occurring ripples the ships have to be moved in the harbour safely. The player can choose between three different types of stones: small, middle and large ones. Each kind of stones creates waves bouncing off the shore. If the waves are too strong or ships hit the shore they will sink or crash.

The illuminating documentary Big Men tells a variation of the oil story in Africa. Nigeria was an example of fifty years of oil discovery, with busted pipelines, and rampant pollution, a result of the business of oil. Ghana was next in line for oil extraction. Attracted to this story, filmmaker Rachel Boynton asks the tough questions of the "big men," African government officials and American companies like Kosmos, that wish to profit. These characters appear so willing to explain their greed on camera. I asked Boynton the obvious:
what's a nice girl like you doing with a subject like this?
I finished my first film, Our Brand is Crisis (2005), was proud of it, and felt the desire to do something bigger and harder. Empowered, I noticed oil prices were going through the roof. I wanted to tell a story from the inside. West Africa was a new frontier for oil exploration. I grew up with central African art, with Peace Corps parents. In late 2005, I saw a story about the military in Nigeria. In 2006 I bought my first plane ticket to Lagos.
What was the biggest challenge?
Cell phone reception. This is not a flip answer. People have 3 cell phones. To get real answers, or have a conversation, you have to fly there. Access comes first. I was travelling in Nigeria with Sebastian Junger who needed pictures for a Vanity Fair article. I saw that he could get things done by giving people a copy of The Perfect Storm.
What was it like working with Plan B, now so successful with 12 Years a Slave?
When Brad Pitt attaches his name to projects, he helps make them exist. Dede Gardner is not just a producer, but phenomenal in the cutting room.
What do you hope this film can accomplish?
This film is about capitalism, about the concept of self-interest and what it does to people. The oil business is epic in scope. I don't see it as good or bad; I see the world in a super complicated way. I am not an advocacy filmmaker. My interest is capturing issues about the way we live now, to make a portrait of something emblematic of the way the world is. I ask, how are we living on the planet?
How did you juggle your work in Africa with your personal life, newly married and wanting a family?
My husband is Executive Producer Steve Schainberg who made Secretary (2002). His new film is The Big Shoe, about a foot fetishist shoe designer. After travelling in Nigeria, I got pregnant. I didn't take malaria pills. I recommend a site, The Pregnant Traveller.

Chloé Georgia Mini Leather Shoulder Bag: Twin PeaksCategories:Other Brands
I have always loved the construction of Chloé bags, and while they've been on a recent roll this year, this may just be the best yet. The Georgia is an updated saddle style, a refined equestrian bag, if you will. So refined, in fact, that it's modern and nuanced enough you may not notice the influence – and that's the beauty of it.
Who knew repetition could look this good? The multiple pockets serve the purpose of both function and form with double-flap twin closures. The effect is effortless, and so is the organization. Keep your lip gloss, cards, and keys in the main body, and slide your phone in the thinner front pocket for quick access.
It looks equally desirable in toffee or black (but come on, how could you not be drawn to the red?!), and it's ideal for wearing crossbody, the most relaxed way to sport a bag these days. There's just an ease about Chloé bags, however you carry them. Uncontrived and unintentionally chic, Georgia will be on my mind until she's in my hands.

MEET THE 10 DESIGNERS JOINING THE CFDA FASHION INCUBATOR CLASS OF 2018Categories:Fashion
The CFDA has announced the newest class of designers joining its Fashion Incubator program, selected by a panel of industry experts with established backgrounds in retail, media and business. For the next two years, the designers will have access to affordable studio space in the Garment District, an eight-month MBA program with NYU's Stern School of Business, seminars, mentorships and networking opportunities. The purpose of the program is to help these designers build their brands' businesses, which spans from developing retail, marketing and branding strategies to becoming more knowledgable of finance, cost and production.
So without further ado, get to know the CFDA Fashion Incubator's 4.0 class of 2018:
New York-based Molly Yestadt launched her line of hats that mix classic craftsmanship and modern style in 2008. She's collaborated on exclusive runway pieces with Marc Jacobs, 3.1 Phillip Lim, The Row and Public School and her designs are available at stores such as Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales and Anthropologie.
Brothers Tim and Dan Joo launched Haerfest, a streetwear-leaning brand of minimalist men's accessories, after following very different career paths: Tim studied design at Parsons and FIT and worked for Patrick Ervell and Opening Ceremony, while Dan studied engineering and worked at IBM. Their cool, functional bags are now sold everywhere from Barneys to OC to Havery Nichols.
Launched in 2013, Thaddeus O'Neil's cool, après-surf "playwear" has already brought him to the finals of the 2015 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund and the International Woolmark Prize. O'Neil found an early supporter in none other than Anna Wintour, who encouraged him to branch out into womenswear. Oh, and Bruce Weber shot his portrait as a child — nbd.
Katie Degusman and Michael Miller met at Parsons in 2000 studying furniture design, but it wasn't until 10 years later that they partnered to launch a jewelry line, now completely handmade in their Brooklyn studio. They use oxidized metals, fish jaws, arrowheads and other organic, sustainable materials that result in sculptural, sleek and edgy designs.
After launching in Jan. 2013, Aurora James's "It" footwear brand Brother Vellies has been no stranger to mentorship programs. Back in November, the Brooklyn-based label became one of three winners of 2015's CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, and it's currently a finalist for the CFDA + Lexus Fashion* Initiative. To this day, James sources her materials from South Africa, Kenya and Morocco, often visiting workshops in those locales
Founded in 2014 by designer Daniel Ddugoff (who studied architecture Washington University in St. Louis), this menswear label is full of what he calls "unbasic basics." Signatures include subtle color palettes with a mix of livelier graphics and patterns.
Ji Oh may have only debuted in 2014, but the New York-made womenswear label is already carried at big-name retailers like Barneys. The Korean-born, Parsons-trained designer works heavily in minimalistic, sleek silhouettes that often sway more gender-neutral than women's-specific, while also being incredibly comfortable, versatile and sophisticated.
With degrees from Central Saint Martins and Parsons as well as design gigs at Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Gareth Pugh on his resumé, Charles Youssefmade his buzzy debut on the New York Fashion Week Calendar for spring 2015. He's been impressing us with his feminine, thoughtful, subtly Japanese-inspired collections ever since. Barneys bought his first collection, but he'll need more stockists to stay in business, and the Incubator will help him get there.
It often signals good business sense when a designer finds a niche and focuses on just one product done really well. Alexandra Alvarez did this with the bodysuit in 2014, after graduating Parsons. They all have a snap crotch (so you don't have to take them off to pee!) and she recently expanded into swimwear.
Design partners Julie and Jason Alkire launched high-end womenswear labelHaus Alkire in 2012 and have since received a slew of industry recognition, including winning both the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award in 2012 and The Fashion Group International Rising Star Award in 2015. The brand is known for its architectural and artistic styles, often embodying abstract themes — like Anthropomorphism for its fall 2016 collection.

How Much Should A Decent Replica Birkin Bag Cost?Categories:Other Brands
Fake Hermes Birkin bags have always been some of the most sought-after replica bags and where there's demand there's also supply, which means that there are a lot of Hermes Birkin replica handbags on the market as well, with different price tags depending on their quality.
But this replica Birkin bag bought off AliExpress was a really pleasant surprise because it just proved that you don't need to pay a lot for a decent replica bag! Wonder how much it cost? Here's your answer!
It looks like some AliExpress sellers really know what they're doing and that they can be trusted for certain brands. We've found one for Goyard, one for Celine and this time it's a replica Birkin bag! The obvious advantage of buying replica bags off AliExpress.com is that they usually come with pretty cheap price tags. This could also be risky unless you go straight to a trustworthy seller.
Hermes knockoff bags come in all price ranges and even though the price should indicate the quality of the bag, it's not always like this. My friend here has a really good point: you would expect this replica Birkin bag to have lots of flaws considering its price, but I think it will surprise you in a good way! So if you're also looking for a fake Birkin bag on a budget you should take a look here. If you're wondering how much do Birkin bags cost (the real ones), the answer is that they are crazy expensive!
"Hi Eva!
I just bought this replica Birkin 35 in Grey from a seller on AliExpress.The bag itself was $152 and the EMS shipping an extra 35. For this price I am rather suprised over the quality, look and feel of the bag. I have bought other replicas for around $300 and they have been far worse than this, The leather is very smoothe and nice to the touch, it is a little soft and slouchy on the sides. Like a Birkin will become over time but I like it. The stamps looks spot on and the stitching is very nice. I would love to hear your opinion on this.
I have bought other replicas on AliExpress, for example a Celiné Mini Luggage Tote and it was superb leather and almost spot on. I almost feel the same about this. I don't mind carrying this bag around Stockolm and I think it will be difficult to see a difference from an authentic unless you look inside. It has all the stamps in the correct places on the straps as well."
And this was my answer:
"As promised, here is my feedback. I do understand why you were so surprised by the quality of this replica bag given its low price. It's true, I've seen more expensive replica Hermes bags that looked far worse than this.
Still, as you probably expected, this is not a perfect replica. I noticed that the stitching is sloppy especially on the two leather tabs at the back of the bag and the stamp is not that great either, the space in between the letters is not equal and the letters are unequal as well ( you can easily see how the "S" in Hermes is smaller than the other letters).
But if you say that the bag is actually made of real leather, then I will declare myself impressed! And in the end all that matters is that you love wearing your bag!
I would also like to see some photos of the interior of the bag if that's okay with you – you made me curious: what is it about the inside that gives the bag away as a replica?
Also, can you share the name of the AliExpress seller?
Thank you for sending your review, I really appreciate it!"
Here is my friend's answer:
"Yes I also noticed some flaws on the bag but that's expected when I only paid $190 for it I have bought more expensive Birkins with far more and noticable flaws. The other day I actually walked passed the Hermés boutique in one of our department stores and when I passed by the entrence one of the SAs there popped her head outside and complimented me on my Birkin
Here are some pictures of the interior Eva. Thanks for your feedback! I love your blog and your feedback is amazing for us replica lovers."
It's true, looking at the interior of this fake Birkin bag it becomes clear that it's a replica. But I'm not going to start criticizing it because it wouldn't be fair and I'm one who appreciates honesty! My friend didn't expect the bag to be perfect and it isn't…but you can't deny it's good for the price! Sure, the details are not that spot on but to me it's important that the bag was made of real leather because a bag that's made of quality leather is a bag that lasts!
My friend is 100% right: there are many replica Hermes handbags sites that offer less quality for more money. When you buy a cheap replica Birkin bag at least you know from the start that the bag is going to have some flaws. But let's face, it's better to be pleasantly surprised than have high expectations and get disappointed by some shady replica site! So considering that a Hermes replica Birkin bag that cost $190 looks like this, it's only normal to expect much more from a replica Hermes handbag that costs twice or even more! The Birkin bag cost depends not only on the quality but also on each site and seller.
I asked my friend to share the name of this AliExpress seller in case you girls want it and I will add it here in the post as soon as I have an answer!

Your garage door is the largest moving object in your home. Therefore, it is important to make sure that you are doing everything you can in order to keep it in tiptop shape. To do that, you need to be aware of the signs that tell you that the garage door is in need of some repairs, or possibly even a replacement. After all, the last thing you want is to one day try to leave for work only to find that your vehicle is stuck in the garage thanks to a malfunctioning door.
Does The Garage Door Stick?
Have you recently noticed that your garage door is sticking more and more often? Maybe it comes to a complete stop. Then again, maybe you just feel some extra resistance when you try to open and close the door. This could be a problem with a track that is slightly bent out of shape. It could also be a build up of dirt and grime on the tracks, which is causing the rollers to get stuck. Either way, you need to investigate the problem before you find yourself stuck.
Does The Garage Door Opener No Longer Work?
Believe it or not, this could be a really simple problem to fix. Sure, you might have already checked the batteries in the remote for the automatic door opener. However, have you checked the sensor on the door? You might find that the reason that your door is no longer responding to the remote is that there is a build up of dirt and dust on the sensor. Clean that off with a soft damp rag and you might just solve your problem.
Can You Do The Work Yourself?
If your garage door happens to be in need of a major repair, you can certainly attempt to do all of the work on your own. However, you need to make sure that you are going into this project with all of the best tools on hand and a helper if possible. After all, you certainly do not want to find yourself in the middle of the project with the door completely off its tracks, just to find yourself not knowing what to do next.
Should You Call A Professional?
You always have the option of calling in the professionals that have experience with the type of garage door issues that you are experiencing. However, when you call them in is completely up to you. If you find that the problem with your garage door is that the tension springs are sticking, you might want to leave that to the professionals. This is because those springs are under a ton of pressure and could easily hurt someone if they were to snap apart.
How To Get The Best Help
Should you decide that you are indeed calling on the assistance of a professional garage door repair specialist, you are going to want to make sure that it is one that you can trust. Talk to a local professional that has many years of experience with garage door repair calls. It is also important to make sure that you are asking for references for jobs that he or she has completed over the past year. This will allow you to see for yourself just how well of a job can be done.
Now, with all of these tips in mind, you should not find yourself worrying as much over garage door repair. All you have to do is carefully assess the situation, see what you can do for yourself, and call in the professionals when you feel the time is right. Before you know it, you will have a working garage door once again.

The Only Signature That Cannot be Forged--God's
Moody Adams, from book Proof
Imagine trying to write down the exact scores of a thousand ball games before they were played. Or try and think how difficult it would be to write the names of all the students that would be in your class and what grades they would make in their subjects before the school year even began. Difficult? Yes, it would be humanly impossible.
But God named people before they were born and predicted events hundreds of years before they came to pass. This is called prophecy; predicting things before they happen. Prophecy is the signature of God.
The way we know the Bible is the word of God, is that over twenty percent of everything in it contains predictions of the future. Dr. W. A. Criswell has counted three thousands of these prophecies that have been fulfilled.
God said the ability to foretell the future is proof of divinity: Show the things that are to come hereafter that we may know that ye are gods Isaiah 41:23. The fact that the Bible foretells the future is proof it is God's word. The following are only a few of the thousands of predictions of the future the Bible has made.
In 553 BC the Bible predicted the future of the Greek empire. Daniel 8:20 said Greece, symbolized by a goat (Daniel 8:21), would crush the army of the Medo-Persia empire, symbolized by a two-horned ram (Daniel 8:20): He smote the ram, and brake his two horns (Daniel 8:6, 7). The prophecy was fulfilled 220 years after it was written by Daniel, in the battles of Granicus (334 BC), Issus (333BC) and Guagamela (331 BC) beside a river.
The Bible said the Greek victory would come by a river: He came to the ram which had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power (Daniel 8:6). Alexander the Great hit Medo-Persia with all his power at the Issus River (333 BC).
The prophecy tells us Greece would go on to become great: The he-goat waxed very great (Daniel 8:8).
It was foretold that in the hour of her strength Greece would be devastated: When he was strong, the great horn was broken (Daniel 8:22). At the age of 32, when Alexander the Great was at the pinnacle of power, he died and Greece's power ended.
Scripture predicted Alexander's kingdom would not be given to his children: His kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided to the four winds of heaven, and not to his posterity (Daniel 11:3, 4).
The prophet Daniel said Greece would become four separate, weak kingdoms: Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power (Daniel 8:22). Alexander's empire was divided into four kingdoms: Greece, Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt.
The Bible predicted that the glorious, mighty kingdom of Egypt would be devastated and permanently diminished. And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom. It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations (Ezekiel 29:14, 15).
The land of conquering Pharaohs who spread their kingdom to the Sudan, the North African coast, and the land of Canaan, declined as the prophecy said. A series of conquering invaders, the Babylonians, the Persians, the Greeks, Romans, the Arabs and the Turks, brought the mighty nation down. Since then they remain a nation, but one that is diminished and no longer the ruler of other lands.
The Bible prophesied just how the city of Tyre would be destroyed: For thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus . . . And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water. And I will make you like the top of a rock: thou shall be a place to spread nets upon; thou shall be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, says the Lord GOD (Ezekiel 26:7, 12, 14). Alexander the Great conquered Tyre. He tore down her walls and threw the stones, timbers and dust into the sea. Like the top of a rock, there was nothing left.
The Bible predicted the destruction of Babylon, the magnificent city of ancient history: And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah (Isaiah 13:19). The city seemed impregnable with fourteen miles of two-hundred-foot high walls around her. But she fell as God said. Furthermore, those mighty walls were removed as the Bible said: Thus says the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken . . . it shall be desolate forever (Jeremiah 51:58, 62). Major Keppel searched for the remains of Babylon's walls. He says, in the narrative of his travels, "We totally failed to discover any trace of the city walls."
In 30 AD, Jesus said Jerusalem and its temple would be destroyed Matthew 24:1,2 and Luke 21:24. Josephus, the historian who traveled with the conquering Roman army, said the temple was destroyed on the 9th day of the Jewish month of Av, 70 AD.
While rockets fly from Gaza and tanks roll from Israel, the world hardly notices the most significant thing about the war. What is happening in the Middle East is an unmistakable fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
The Bible said Jerusalem would cause her neighbors to tremble, as the terrified Palestinians are doing: "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem" (Zechariah 12:2).
Prophecy said Jerusalem would be a burden to all people:" And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. In that day, saith the LORD" (Zechariah 12:3).
The Bible said that prior to Christ's return to reign on earth there would be a solidification of world opinion against Jerusalem: "For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle" (Zechariah 14:2). Many think Iran is backing Gaza's attacks, knowing they cannot defeat Israel, but using the war to turn public opinion against the Jews. The world-wide protests against Israel indicate this is working.
As the enemies of Israel increase, Jesus said this would be a sign of His soon return: "And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. … And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:1, 28).
Prophecy is the signature of God, no one can forge it.

A dilapidated elementary school could be rebuilt on unused land at one of Boca Raton's most beloved parks — but not all parents zoned for Addison Mizner Elementary school are supportive of the plan.
The Palm Beach County School District aims to rebuild Addison Mizner Elementary, a 50-year-old school currently located on an 11-acre lot at the center of a neighborhood on Southwest 12th Avenue between Palmetto Park Road and Camino Real.
Overcrowding of southern Palm Beach County schools has prompted the school district to convert Addison Mizner, as well as nearby Verde Elementary School, into kindergarten through 8th-grade schools.

Two choices for school

The district has two options for Addison Mizner, said Frank Barbieri, a school board member whose district includes Boca Raton:
- Rebuild on its current site, which is so small that parents can expect limited space for athletic fields, Barbieri said.
- Rebuild on 24 acres of unused land at Sugar Sand Park, on Camino Real and Palmetto Park Road across Interstate 95. It's about a mile west of the current site.
Barbieri and Boca Raton officials sought input from parents Thursday night at Boca Raton Middle School.
Several parents expressed concerns about moving the school west, which would force children to cross train tracks and busy I-95 off-ramps.
The district would post crossing guards at major intersections and re-route buses accordingly, Barbieri said.
Other parents said they moved to neighborhoods near Addison Mizner specifically to walk their children to a community school.
Holli Sutton, who has one child at Addison Mizner, initially supported the decision to move Addison Mizner. Following the meeting, she isn't so sure, she said.
"I think it should stay where it is," Sutton said. "I walk my kids to school every single day. I moved here specifically for Addison Mizner."
Sutton wants to see more specific plans, she said, but appreciates the option of moving to Sugar Sand Park.
Others whole-heartedly supported the plan to move Addison Mizner to Sugar Sand Park, one of the city's most visited parks.
"We appreciate the community school," said Lauren Wallach, who has two children at Addison Mizner. "But we need more space."
Susie Cox, the physical education teacher at Addison Mizner, chastised the athletic fields at the current location.
"I don't know if any of you have been out on our fields, but they really are terrible," said Cox, who supports relocating the school. "I want to do the best thing for your kids, but I can't do it."
Wallach said she wants to see a traffic study since traffic and safety are priorities for parents.
Where at park would it be built?
If built at Sugar Sand, it likely would be at the southeast portion of the park, with an entrance for parents on Camino Real, separate from the park's main entrance on Military Trail.
But this plan, in its earliest stages, hinges on permission from the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District, a taxing body that owns the 132-acre Sugar Sand Park.
The beach and park district agreed in September to consider parting with a portion of Sugar Sand. That may include a land-swap deal, which would grant the district Addison Mizner's current site.
If the beach and park district isn't amenable to that plan, the school district also could sell the school land to a private buyer, then use that money to buy land from the beach and park district.
That presents the possibility of a developer building homes or other buildings on the land.
Both Barbieri and Boca Raton Councilman Scott Singer said they want to avoid large-scale development in the middle of the residential area.
School district needs an answer soon
Barbieri said the school district must decide on a location by the end of this school year.
The district will further seek input from parents online.
The school district already is in the midst of expanding Verde Elementary School, on Verde Trail east of Powerline Road, a project that likely will last until 2020.
If Addison Mizner is rebuilt at its current site, students would temporarily move to Verde Elementary, which would add another layer of intense traffic there.
If Addison Mizner is rebuilt at its current site, it likely won't be completed until 2022; relocating to Sugar Sand likely would take less time, Barbieri said.

Why do we share
Dear friends,
U-Day fever can now be felt in the campus of Central Philippine University. The Theme for this year+s celebration is "Centralians Sharing 3Ts (Time, Talent, Treasure) for One CPU @ 112."
Why do we share?
When we SHARE we:
S - Show to the world that we care. Jesus cares for each one of us. As disciples of Jesus, we need to show it by sharing what we have. Romans 12:13 says, "Share with God+s people who are in need."
When we SHARE we:
H - Help those who are in need. Some are in need of our time, some our talents and some our treasures. We need to find ways to help in any way that we can.
When we SHARE we:
A - Allow God to work in and through us. God can only use those who are willing. When we say yes to God, He will use us mightily to reach out to others through our lives.
When we SHARE we:
R - Release blessings to people and change their situations. Naturally, whether we admit it or not, we are selfish. When we accept Jesus Christ in our hearts, we become selfless and we share our blessings to others.
When we SHARE we:
E - Enjoy the privilege of seeing the happy faces of people. There is no substitute in seeing the smile or tears of joy of people when we extend our helping hand to them. We can really experience pure joy when we share our time, talent and treasure to others.
May God bless us all!

Went in for wisdom teeth extraction, left dead (literally) before the AMR came and saved my life. I was in ICU for 8 days and in a coma for 3 days. Stay far away. Mr. Sturgis (the anesthesiologist) and Danny Sadakah. They do not have the proper equipment for teeth extraction and it gets even more ugly as they cut corners for costs.

DELRAY BEACH — In two historical buildings lie old, yellowing papers that, when read carefully, can bring the lives of the city's pioneers to life.
These papers are stored in several leather-bound books, where residents from the 1920s through the 1940s had scribbled the day-to-day crime problems of a city dependent more on crops than tourists.
Maybe 100 years from now, people who want to peruse court documents and police records of the 1990s will have a more literal understanding of why people were arrested, what crime problems residents faced and how they were resolved. Every government record is saved on microfiche and computer files.
But in the fledging years of Delray Beach, one-line notes, scribbled in pencil, are all that exist.
Those fragile documents are being saved by the Delray Beach Historical Society at the Old School Square on Atlantic and Swinton avenues and the Cason Cottage, 5 NE First St.
In 1926 - 15 years after Delray Beach was incorporated - speeding in the city meant a trip to the jail and a court hearing that almost always resulted in a $10 fine. That fine, of course, did not include a $1 fee each to the city clerk, the mayor (who was also the city judge) and the police.
In 1926, anyone driving anywhere in the city faster than 25 mph was speeding. And the inmates in the city jail were served food from the local taverns, which cooked the meals and shipped them over to the police station. The police ate the same food as the prisoners.
The documents also offer a view of how pioneer residents regarded legal problems.
In the 1920s, domestic disputes were handled a bit differently than they are today. If Leo Smith were still alive, he could tell the tale of his domestic ordeal on Sept. 25, 1926.

So when we felt like Italian one night, we decided to try out the non existent restaurant.
It is in quite an obscure place (hence my inability to see it). You would only see it if you walked past it and not from the other side of the street.
The restaurant is quite narrow and poky and has a massive bar in the main part where we were sitting. The computer where they input all the meals was right next to us too, so we constantly had a waitress standing next to us which was a bit intrusive.
But enough about that and onto the food! We both felt like pasta, but as it's a pizza place we felt obliged to try the pizza. So instead of getting entrees we got a pizza to share.
After receiving this I was very glad that we ordered pastas and weren't just eating pizza. While the topping was very tasty, the base was so dry and crunchy. I don't know if all the pizza bases are like this, but it was terrible.
Luckily the start of the meal didn't set the standard for the rest of the meal.
Pappardelle with flaked Osso Bucco in rich beef and red wine gravy - $19.90
Whenever there is pappardelle on the menu I am sold! This was really good too it tasted like home made pasta. The meat was not as tender as I would have liked, but all the flavours were wonderful. They didn't overload you with pasta either so that you are completely full after eating it.
Roquette, black olives, tomato, goats cheese feta, red onion salad - $13.90
We had to get a salad as well, and although I thought the price quite expensive for a salad, it was really good. We ended up eating the whole salad too, which normally never happens.
Spaghetti with poached chicken, preserved lemon, crisp sage and goats cheese - $18.90
Frankie went with the poached chicken pasta which he was very happy with. It was quite tasty, but I wouldn't have swapped it for the pasta I chose.
Vanilla Bean Brulee with Shortbread - $11.90
We decided to share a dessert, as we both can't usually eat a whole dessert to ourselves. The Brulee was so good and the custard was packed full of vanilla bean specks. I think I ate more than my half share as it was so delicious. I would definitely order this again.
Not 100% a great meal, but next time we go there we will steer clear from the Pizza. There are a lot of pasta options and tapas style dishes which I would be interested in trying.

There is at least one unsolved mystery in the Oklahoma City federal building bombing case: how a furnace builder's pickup truck came to be involved. The L.A. Weekly reports that nine years after the bombing, the newspaper's investigation into the truck has raised more questions about whether a broader conspiracy was responsible for the bombing. Co-conspirator Terry Nichols, already convicted in a federal case, now is on trial on state charges.
Suspicion that the bombing involved a Middle Eastern connection began with an FBI all-points bulletin three hours after the for a brown Chevy pickup seen speeding away from the area, with two Middle Eastern-looking men inside. The FBI later canceled the alert, and has never said why.
More information may emerge about the truck during Nichols' trial. The pickup's owner told the L.A. Weekly that the defense has subpoenaed him to testify.

When a new baby is born, many people automatically give the parents a break for being tired. Oftentimes, the mom gets more sympathy than the dad, but the truth is both parents suffer from a lack of sleep during the first few months (and sometimes years) of the infant's life. To take it one step further, this study published on NPR last week found that new dads may be more prone to sleep deprivation than new moms. Arguably, there are variables that make this a contested bit of conversation, but for the most part, it was found that dads feel the poor effects of lacking sleep and health as much as moms, if not more.
The Facts
- 72 couples were studied in 2004 using a wrist tracker to analyze health factors that determined tiredness; they found that "fathers had objectively less sleep than mothers. Sleep was measured throughout the day, though, and the mothers appeared to play catch-up during the daytime hours when the fathers were unable to do so."
- A 2011 study analyzed mothers and fathers opinions of each other's roles and moods finding that almost all mothers said the fathers got enough sleep and fathers said the mothers were moodier because of lack of sleep; both findings reported otherwise.
- 241 fathers in a 2012 study reported sleeping fewer than six hours per night and then working long hours the next day.
The Effects
- The numbers can fluctuate and parents can waste time arguing about who is more tired, or they can simply get to bed to stop these poor side effects of fatigue.
- Sleep deprivation and fatigue can cause the mind to behave as if it were intoxicated.
- People's emotions are on a shorter fuse, and they are more likely to be cranky.
- Both the mother and father report a "robust decline in marital satisfaction."
- Fathers reported less "vigilance about safe behaviors in the workplace."
- Mothers' housework duties were reported to decline during the postpartum period.
Get your sleep and health connected by doing your best to relieve stress in other areas of your life and getting as much shut eye as possible.

Do you have misaligned, discolored, chipped, or broken teeth? Does that make you feel self-conscious? Would you like to have your smile back? You can, with porcelain veneers from your dentist. They are a more cost-effective restorative treatment than crowns, because instead of covering the entire tooth, porcelain veneers simply cover the front of your teeth. They are easy to place, and they can actually alter the color, and even the length, shape and size of your teeth. Porcelain veneers bring many benefits.
The Procedure
Usually, having porcelain veneers created for your teeth will require two or three visits to Dr. Headley. First, you will come to see him for a consultation, at which time you may decide that you want some time to think about the procedure, or you may simply conclude that this is what you want to do if you are the right candidate. If it's the latter, then Dr. Headley can take impressions and x-rays of your teeth on the first visit. It may also be necessary to scrape off a bit of your tooth enamel so that the veneers will fit properly and not feel overly large in your mouth. Once that is done, the impressions will be sent to a lab where a master ceramist will create your veneers. Usually that takes 1-2 weeks, and once they are ready, you will come back to have them fitted.

Small Black - Despicable Dogs
Dispicable Dogs on Vimeo
Small Black (check out their blog) is a two-piece from Long Island who has been touring with Washed Out with a self-released EP that has been getting some hype. They have the lo-fi summery synth sound that is all the rage right now (see this Jacuzzi Boys video). There is something really peaceful about this song.
This video is a beautiful slice of the life of an aging surfer. The guy with the handlebar mustache is the lead singer's uncle Matt. Its reminds me a lot of Darren Aronofsky's stunning film The Wrestler from 2008. Its about a washed up professional wrestler who can't give up the professional that is killing him. Its the best film from 2008.
If you haven't seen the wrestler, you may have seen the 2009 movie that basically stole the script from the wrestler, inserted a country music singer, and gave the story a sappy, happy ending. That movie was called Crazy Heart. Well, this video is like a real-life version of the Wrestler or Crazy Heart, but doesn't rip-off either films. Its beautiful in its own way.

Lite's out at Friday 13
The last issue of Associated Newspapers' London Lite will be published on Friday November 13 according to The Guardian.
After Richard Desmond (The Daily Express, the Daily Star) said he was thinking about a London evening free paper, London-i, in November 2004 the Evening Standard countered this with its own spoiler on December 14, 2004.
The 48-page 'lunch edition' Standard Lite replaced the first two editions of the Evening Standard. It had a staff of 12 journalists, carried some 'bite-sized' articles from the Standard, as well as a TV-guide and a 'what's on' section. It was distributed between 11.30 and 14.30 in the Circle Underground line area.
In 2005 London mayor Ken Livingstone wanted the exclusive distribution deal between Metro and London Tube changed, so another free (afternoon) paper could enter the market. He was supported by the Office of Fair Trading who decided (after two years) that the afternoon slot would have to be opened up.
Associated Newspapers (Metro, Standard Lite), Richard Desmond, News International, Metro International and the Telegraph Group were believed to have issued a bid. Transport of London expected a revenue of 4.6m pounds. Standard Lite increased circulation from 70,000 to 150,000.
News International (the Times, the Sun) did not wait for the results of the bidding. From September on, 400,000 copies (later increased to 500,000) of thelondonpaper paper were distributed outside tube stations from 4.30 pm on.
The Standard Lite was converted to London Lite on August 30, 2006. The bid for the afternoon slot was canceled. No publisher wanted to pay enough while both competitors already moved to hand distribution.
A battle between News International and Associated newspapers resulted in all evening papers (including The Evening Standard) losing money.
After the Thelondonpaper closed down and the Standard going all free (and increasing circulation to 600,000) London Lite was no longer needed with its competitor gone and itself hurting the revenues of 25% owned Evening Standard.
London Lite distributed 400,000 copies and had a readership of 1.1 million.
