We had a chat with Creative Director, Jacqui Demkiw about leather and why you need it in your wardrobe!
Why do you love leather?
Leather is a timeless must-have. Wear different styles for different occasions, add edge to your cocktail dress or street style cool to your denim.
Why White Suede leather?
There are so many leather pieces available now that it can seem really hard to make a choice! What makes our pieces special is the quality, fit and durability. Our leather gets even better with age and it will last the distance. You only have to try on one of our jackets to feel the difference! For every White Suede leather jacket, there is a 22 step process of hand selection, special drum dye and preparation.
How should we choose which piece to go for?
Every jacket is amazing, it depends on your personal style and what you want the jacket for. In my experience, 2 or 3 jackets will cover you for literally any outfit situation! Do you want it to go over an event dress? Or something small and compact to keep warm, your weekend statement piece or something that all your friends will want? You honestly can't go wrong with any of our styles.
What styles do we have to choose from?
The cropped jacket: this is our best seller and has our trademark curved seams and 3/4 sleeve. It's a classic that will turn heads and is the perfect piece to wear over a dress, being compact enough to take out without being bulky. Functional and gorgeous.
The cropped jacket with zips: this piece is our classic crop with a difference; slightly longer in the body and full length sleeves with zips. It has the same trademark curved seams which add shape and silhouette to any body shape.
The 80s jacket: this one is my personal favourite. It's the most versatile piece that can be worn zipped up (perfect for Winter days), styled completely open with its oversized collar (perfect with a knit) or worn as a cape by simply placing the jacket over your shoulders and buttoning the back studs. It's the ultimate effortless wardrobe addition.
The Tumble jacket: this is our signature leather fitted style with angular front zip detail and stretch ponte inserts for comfort. Always so popular!
Limited edition: I love to create special jackets for new seasons that are limited edition and super on trend.

Woman Behind the Lens
Hello! I am Lotus. Nerd, geek, otaku, lover of all things artistic and more. I work from my home studio in South Mobile, Alabama where the weather is hot 3/4 ths of the year and snow is a myth. My love of photography can only be trumped by my love for traveling. I'm a Gypsy at heart. I've spent about 2/3 rds of my life traveling the majority of North America and seeking to go to more places for all the reasons.
One might say my style is that of an available light technician, with a ton of fantasy and whimsy, a bit traditional film with hints of photojournalism. I love to capture every moment in the elegance and magic of how it happens. When it happens. Because life can be just as magical as the fairy tales we used to hear as kids. And maybe a few of us still escape to.
In my free time I love to travel, attend conventions, spend time with my loving husband and darling daughter, cook, read and play lots of video games when I don't find myself binging a new show on Netflix or Hulu. Oh, and cannot forget the fun times with my fur-babies. Proud parent of two darling kitties and a companion wolf-dog who absolutely does not enjoy thunderstorms or fireworks as much as I do.
So now you know a little about me. Let's get to know each other and let me learn a little about you! I adore meeting new people and working with everyone on their fabulous ideas, simple needs and the emotional days from the proposal to the 50th anniversary and the birth or adoption of a new kiddo.
- I am a cosplayer of over a decade.
- My daughter is my biggest muse.
- My husband is my greatest cheerleader.
- Photophobia [yes, that's a legit thing] is why I wear sunglasses at night and welding shades during the day.
- Cards Against Humanity and Munchkin are my favorite card games.
- Born in New Orleans. Raised in South Mobile. But calls New York City home of my heart.
- I collect vintage cameras. Ask me about my collection.
- My first camera was a 35mm Riho that had been my grandmothers.
- I've been published as a writer, poet and even had my artwork hosted in various galleries years before I returned to photography.
- I'm a former plus-sized model, who can still own the runway.
- Acting, wardrobe styling and designing are just a couple of my hobbies.
- The Dragon Age, Assassins Creed series', Skyrim and Diablo III are my current weaknesses.
- So are books. I'm a sucker for a good book. Physical before digital.
- My absolute favorite food is Chocolate Strawberry ice cream.
- I love tea! And coffee! But I'll take tea over coffee any day. Unless it's most types of green, in which case I'll take the coffee.
- I'm a wino. Don't leave a bottle of wine unsupervised around me when I'm editing.
- I work part time in a local camera store as a sales rep and teacher.
- I don't like to adult.

A9 lorry driver David MacDonald fell asleep before fatal crash
A lorry driver who caused a fatal crash on the A9 after falling asleep at the wheel has been told he faces jail.
David MacDonald's tanker had drifted across the road before smashing into a lorry being driven by 57-year-old Gordon Cooper, who died in the crash.
At the High Court in Edinburgh, the 25-year-old admitted causing death by dangerous driving on 23 December 2010.
Lord Bracadale deferred sentence but told MacDonald to expect a custodial sentence.
The court was told that two teenage friends of MacDonald had been accompanying him on the trip.
Trapped in cab
Moments before the collision, one of the teenagers noticed the tanker was starting to drift across the road and screamed at MacDonald.
Advocate depute Stephen O'Rourke said that after the collision Mr Cooper, from Montrose, Angus, was trapped in the cab, pinned by the steering wheel.
When firefighters removed the cab structure, no trace of a heartbeat could be found.
Mr O'Rourke said Mr Cooper's injuries, which included a fractured skull and bleeding within the brain, were "not survivable".
MacDonald, from Aviemore, was thrown from the cab of his vehicle in the crash, resulting in the loss of his right leg below the knee and a fracture to his left leg.
Tachograph irregularities
The advocate depute told the court: "The collision happened because the accused appears to have fallen asleep at the wheel, having failed to have regard to the statutory periods of rest set down for HGV drivers."
He said: "Following the collision an investigation was carried out by Tayside Police and a number of irregularities were identified in the tachograph records for the accused's lorry.
"In essence, however, it appears that he had failed to take sufficient rest on the period leading up to the collision."
MacDonald admitted causing the death of Mr Cooper by driving dangerously on the Perth to Inverness road, between Dunkeld and Ballinluig, while he was excessively tired.
Lord Bracadale continued bail and deferred sentence on MacDonald for the preparation of a background report.
However, the judge said it was an "extremely serious" offence and that he should expect a custodial sentence.

iPhone OS4 Lockscreen… for Windows Mobile
Well, you are probably thinking… here we go again. This is not uncommon considering the number of iPhone lockscreen clones available out there. However, you have to appreciate the simplicity of the ones like XDA member Stickman89 has made. This one is a modified CPR file for Windows Mobile, which will make the OS's stock lockscreen look exactly like the one in the iPhone 4. No additional apps to be installed.
The app was made for WVGA resolutions and is quite responsive and smooth. So, if you feel like giving your HD2 a fresh new iPhon-ish look, stop by this thread to try it out. Feedback is always welcome.
I recently created a IPhone look-alike WVGA lock screen, not because I am a IPhone fanboy as I am far from it and ditched my IPhone a long time ago due to OS limitations, but in fact because it was finger friendly and stylish!
Let me tell you a little about myself…
I first started contributing my work to the xda community when I began developing roms for the HTC Hero G2 Touch (SenseHERO), the people of xda very quickly picked up that I took great pride, joy and patience into my work and being a perfectionist that I am always pore 100% of my attention when it comes to detail and theming aspects of my rom, I believe that it completes the look and feel of your hard work and I am sure others will agree.
You can find more information in the lockscreen thread.

(FootballStL) -- There's no sugar coating it now. Not anymore. After a 35-11 drubbing at the hands of the 49ers for the Rams third consecutive loss, things are quickly spiraling in the wrong direction.
The Rams can't run the football (18 yards on 19 carries), can barely pass the football (59.2 QB rating for Sam Bradford), they certainly can't stop the run on defense (153 yards to Frank Gore after surrendering 175 last week to DeMarco Murray) and aren't stopping the pass much either.
"In the NFL you can't just expect things to magically get fixed for you. You either solve the problems that you have or no one's going to solve them for you," Chris Long said. "We're going to have to get tough in here. We're going to have to get detail oriented. We're going to have to hold each other accountable, make plays and dig our way out of this hole because no one is going to do that for us."
Now is the time, they say, to really look deep within and find out what they are made of.
"I hope everyone takes these few losses personally, take a look in the mirror and ask what they can do to make this team better," Chris Givens said. "I feel like if we all do that and come out with that attitude in practice next week then we'll be fine."
"I think the frustrating thing is the past two weeks our performance I feel like we should be playing at a much higher level than we have," Sam Bradford said.
The Rams next play the Jacksonville Jaguars at home on October 6th. So the schedule does get a little bit easier from here.

A butt's size can increase through weight-training exercises. Melissa McNamara from Jillian Michaels recommends building the gluteal muscles through targeted strength exercises and losing weight to slim the appearance of the waist. Squats, lunges and deadlift exercises should be performed at least two days per week. Higher weight bearings provide better results in a shorter period of time. Weights should be increased gradually as strength is built in the glutes.Continue Reading
McNamara suggests cutting 500 calories per day from the diet to yield one pound of weight loss each week. Losing weight allows muscle definition to show more prominently and helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite. To achieve this, your diet should consist mostly of fresh vegetables, fruits, lean meat and whole grains. Physical activity should be increased to between 150 and 250 minutes per week, preferably in the form of moderately intense aerobic exercise. Examples include brisk walking, jogging and hiking. McNamara also recommends incorporating core-building exercises into your weekly schedule. The core muscles are the abdominals, obliques and lower back. Some exercises focusing on this area include regular crunches, planks, barbell deadlifts and back extensions. As the muscles in the glutes and core are developed, the butt begins to appear firmer and more rounded, and the waist shrinks in size.Learn more about Muscle Toning

Here Are Some Hard Flagrant Fouls From Heat-Pacers Game 5 (Videos)
Anyone who tells you that basketball is not a contact sport probably didn't watch Game 5 between the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers. And if they did watch that game, they may be rethinking that statement, as last night's contest was not one for the faint of heart.
The two teams had already exchanged their fair share of shoves and verbal jabs throughout the first four games of the series, and last night they were taking it a step further with some rather questionable hard fouls.
It all started when Tyler Hansbrough took a swipe at the head of Dwyane Wade, resulting in a gash above the eye of the All-Star guard.
Hansbrough received a Flargant 1 Foul on the play, but it wasn't long before the Heat got some revenge of their own, as Udonis Haslem nearly decapitated Psycho-T with this two-handed smash to the head of the Pacers' center. Haslem was assessed the game's second Flagrant 1 Foul on the play.
As for the third Flagrant 1 Foul of the game, that came during the final seconds of the fourth quarter, as Dexter Pittman laid an elbow into the throat of Lance Stephenson. Was it payback for Stephenson's choking gesture towards LeBron James during Game 3? That wink at the 0:53 mark of the following video sure makes it seem that way.
Through the first four games, the Pacers made it clear that they wanted to turn this series into a fight. Last night the Heat won the fight, and they also won the game, 115-83. With the Heat now holding a 3-2 series lead, it is the Pacers' turn to throw the next punch. Needless to say, they are going to have to make it a knockout blow if they hope to stay alive in this Eastern Conference Semifinal battle.

It seems that the first Windows Phone 8-powered handset from South Korean conglomerate, Samsung, has hit yet another snag – it has been delayed, at least according to the good people over at SamMobile. The anonymous source tipped them off that Samsung will start to ship the ATIV S from week 52 onwards – which would mean that it is the last week of the year, and that translates to the ATIV S being delayed. Folks who have already placed an order for the ATIV S and were looking forward to using a spanking new handset this Christmas would definitely be disappointed, and for those of us living across the pond in Europe, you might even have to wait all the way until January next year.
Is there a reason for the delay? Well, some think that because the Samsung Galaxy S3 is such a hot seller at this point in time, and since the ATIV S shares a similar display as that of the Galaxy S3, Samsung might have pushed back the ATIV S' release due to a production switch in build and materials.

Dear Readers – do you want to hear more of the Love Story? For anyone new here, Danny & I were both divorced and single and longing for companions when a friend set us up by email. Danny lived in Boston, I lived in NYC. We were completely on the same page from the beginning and wrote our hearts out for 3 weeks before we met. Here are a few of the next emails we can share from those early days before we met when divorce was raw, being single was raw, yet our hearts were in the right place. [And before we get started, I just wanted to let you know that I have something so fun to show you soon. Danny & I recently were in a photo shoot in Central Park with JONATHAN CANLAS (!) It was extraordinary. Can't wait to show you the pics.]
Danny, You are killing me here.
That's Mara language for….I think you are out of this world !!! 🙂 🙂 This feels like a dream. It's amazing to see that you know about real love. So many people don't! I've had way too much experience with people preoccupied with fantasies, porn, women (or men) with perfect bodies. So many people are sooo sucked into a very sick version of what love really is. Anyway, I dream of being married to a man that does not base his love or desire for me on such fleeting things.
Yes, it would be lovely if he thought I was beautiful as I sit next to him in church or walk by his side. Yes, I hope he will desire me as a woman. BUT………..more than ANYTHING, I hope he will have a love for me founded on "respect, shared commitment to higher ideals, absolute trust, service, partnership, faith, hope, patience, living to bring joy to the other." (yes, I just cut and pasted that part from one of your emails. Hahaha. It was THAT good. I am telling you, you couldn't be saying anything to me that would be closer to my every heart's desire….you are pretty much NAILING everything that I live for…..you really are.) How wonderful would it be to have that long-lasting love, devotion, charity which only comes from loving God first (which keeps priorities pure), then your spouse.
Danny, let me tell you, I can hardly imagine what it will be like with the full package. Holy moly. That would be GOOOOD. And yes, I think men and women DO indeed help our spouses to reach their divine potential!!!! I love that, actually. I love that we could serve our spouse in that way, by instilling in them the desire to be better. I want a spouse that will do that for me!! And I certainly want to do that for my husband.
Thinking of you always, Mara
Dearest Mara,
I'm not sure I can even type…I'm so overwhelmed my body is trembling…it's as if I've got these permanent goosebumps and the chills, but in a good way. I am full – heart, body, mind and soul. There could have been no greater start to my day today than the email I received from you.
I absolutely LOVE the good woman you are and desire to be. I can't believe that it could actually get better than this, and yet my experience with each passing day tells me, it can, it does, and it will. As for elevating others (especially spouses), I am certain you can do that just by being you! You have done it for me already. I have found myself recommitting to living (not just doing) the principles that bring me joy in part because of you. I find myself kneeling with greater purpose, more things to be grateful for, I ponder and prepare more, I now have evidence, not just belief, that great things can be and are ahead.
And by the way, I will be the first to admit that beauty is enhanced only by all the higher ideals you mentioned. Right? Isn't real sexy/intimacy the complete giving of yourself? And how can that happen in the way it's supposed to without all the other stuff? Can I just say that not just a tear, but tears of gratitude came to me as I woke up today and read your email. You are a rare woman indeed, and I will continue to thank God for meeting you, and trust in his timing and wisdom.
Also, when I come to see you, I was originally planning on leaving Saturday morning and leaving Sunday night…but sometimes I think general excitement may just get the best of me and I'd race down after work on Friday…if you'd have me that early. I am at your disposal (so much so that I actually entertained the idea of hoping on a plane when you told me to get there NOW!). I have a long day ahead of me… I will carry you and the hope you bring with me today.
My absolute best to you dear Mara,
and my continued thanks for all that you give me,
Dearest Danny,
Ohhhhh…. myyyyy…. I am shaking my head in disbelief. How is it that we have crossed paths??? I am just dying over here. I read your note this morning and let me tell you, I carried it with me in my heart all day. I am tearing up now as I just reread some of the beautiful words you wrote….specifically that you trust in his timing and wisdom.
Danny, I've had moments when I have wondered if I will ever, ever meet someone. I have tried so hard to not let that fear in, but it happens. I have dedicated many hours and hopes and dreams by putting myself out there (even though I haven't wanted to!) But I believe in marriage, I believe in families, I believe that it can help us progress. And I am addicted to the service that one can give as a spouse…it is just so fun and so fulfilling. So I have done all I can to meet someone. BUT…..I have remained single.
So I have had to just TRUST Him. Why do I fear??? I know I have the tools to handle whatever comes my way. I wouldn't change a thing about my life. Even the hardest parts. So how dare I worry now. I know that if for some reason marriage is not in my future, or if I don't marry as soon as I would like…. that if I choose to trust in this beautiful life & not resist this experience, that I will be OK & I'll still be able to carry out a beautiful mission in life…
Anyway, THANK YOU so much for reminding me to just trust and not have fears about the timing. YOU bring me so much peace. I really can't believe I feel it so strongly, yet we haven't met. For now, I am cherishing every moment of this time. I am cherishing every word you send to me. You are uplifting me SO much. You are reminding me of everything that I want in my life – and in my husband!!!!! I feel so honored to know you. Meeting you has been a gift in my life. I am so, so, so thankful for you.
One thing I know…..if I don't marry you, I will want to marry someone like you. Good night to you …. thanks for making my heart full. And thank you SO much for coming to visit soon. I just don't think I could've waited much longer. These next two weeks may be the longest of my life. 🙂
Ahhh…good-bye for now, Mara

1. The Joint Committee has requested a Memorandum
on the following point:
Paragraph (2) of regulation 9 requires the local
planning authority to submit to the Secretary of State the statement
mentioned in paragraph (1) within 6 weeks of the "starting
date", which is defined (in paragraph (3)) as the later of
the two following dates: (a) the date of the Secretary of State's
notice under regulation 10 that he has received all the documents
required to enable him to entertain the appeal; (b) the date of
the Secretary of State's notice informing the appellant and the
authority that an inquiry or hearing is to be held.
Explain why (a) has been included in the definition
of "starting date" in paragraph (3), and how paragraph
(2) is intended to operate, given that regulation 10 indicates
that the Secretary of State's notice must be given after he has
received the local planning authority's statement. The Department's
attention is drawn to paragraph 5 of the Committee's 27th Report
(Session 19992000) on S.I. 2000/1628.
2. The reason for the inclusion of (a) in the definition
of "starting date" in paragraph (3) is that a trigger
date is required for those instances where the appeal is to be
dealt with by the written representation procedure.
3. The Department also considers it is necessary
to provide for the possibility of the Secretary of State serving
a notice under (b) of paragraph 3 later in the appeal process.
That might be after the notice under regulation 10 has been served
and would mean that the 6 week period would run from that later
4. The Department has considered paragraph 5 of the
Committee's 27th Report (Session 19992000) on the definition
of "starting date" in S.I. 2000/1628 but considers that
the position here is different to that. With respect to S.I 2000/1628,
the Department agreed that subparagraph (a) of the definition
of "starting date" was otiose. This was because the
Secretary of State in that case is only able to give the appellant
and the local planning authority written notice of receipt of
the appeal once he has received all the documents specified in
article 23 of the Town and Country Planning (General Development
Procedure) Order 1995. There is therefore an element of duplication
that does not exist here.
5. The statement referred to in paragraph (2) (the
local planning authority's statement) is not one of the documents

Why Skylights? — Velux Skylights Give You Peace Of Mind
We've all heard the cliché skylight joke:
There are two types of skylights, those that leak and those that will leak.
But don't let the off comment change your opinion, it's just a joke! In reality skylights are very popular and when properly installed will give you years and years of leak free enjoyment. Velux even offers the longest and best warranty in the industry and their skylights come with many peace of mind features.
Rain Sensor
Velux skylights come with a rain sensor that automatically closes the skylight at the first sign of rain. So even if you forget to close your skylights, you can rest easy knowing that you're covered.
Three Layers Of Weather Protection
Velux skylights come installed with three layers of weather protection: a pre-installed deck seal, all-weather underlayment and engineered step flashing. They all prevent air and water from entering your home, giving you peace of mind about never having a leak.
Ten Year No Leak Warranty
If our assurances aren't enough, Velux offers the best warranty in the industry. When installed properly using Velux flashing, Velux warrants for ten (10) years from the date of original purchase that no water will leak through the skylight or between the skylight and the roof deck.

"No one here can justify a 14-year-old child being charged, tried, convicted and executed in some 80 days."
- S.C. Circuit Judge Carmen Mullen
Judge Mullen's comment summarizes the mindset of any South Carolinian who has considered the case of George Stinney, a pint-sized black teen-ager who in 1944 was charged with capital murder, tried, convicted and executed in an incredible 83-day rush to "justice."
It's just hard to believe our state - or any state - could ever have been that insensitive to the values of judicial due process, which we value and protect so vigorously these days.
We don't execute children, right? And we don't execute anybody without automatic appeals.
But that's exactly the package of justice South Carolina delivered to little George Stinney 70 years ago when he became the youngest person executed in the United States in the 20th century.
For sure, 1944 was a different time and our state was a different state, economically and socially. And current events were defining the environment of the Stinney case. World War II was approaching its D-Day turning point in Europe, and black men were distinguishing themselves on those brutal battlefields. South Carolina's incumbent governor Olin Johnston was amping up a racially-charged election campaign to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. Cotton Ed Smith. Their Democratic Party was debating whether black men would vote in the party's nominating primaries.
And March 23, 1944, was apparently a nice early spring day in the Alcolu community of Clarendon County. That afternoon, two little girls went looking for "maypops," a purple wild flower that signaled spring's arrival. Riding their bikes, they ran into 14-year-old George Stinney and his younger sister, Amie, who were grazing the family cow "Lizzie."
But 11-year-old Betty June Binnicker, and 8-year-old Mary Emma Thames, did not return home. A search party that included George Stinney's father found the girls' bodies the next morning in a muddy ditch. Each had suffered fatal head wounds. Soon enough, young Stinney was taken into custody and, after reportedly confessing, he was charged with capital murder.
The teenager went to trial April 24, 1944. The proceedings lasted hours, not days. The jury returned its verdict after deliberating just 10 minutes, convicting George Stinney of capital murder and recommending no mercy.
Appeals were not statutorily mandated back then, and the family could not afford a lawyer. Governor-candidate Johnston refused all petitions to commute the sentence, and on June 16, 1944, George Stinney, barely five feet tall and weighing 91 pounds, was executed in Columbia - just 83 days after his arrest.
Was he guilty as charged? The all-white male jury clearly thought so.
But through the optics of time and social changes, the justice rendered to George Stinney on April 24, 1944, seems recklessly swift and literally blind - even for South Carolina, 1944.
Shortly after the trial, Lorraine Binnicker Bailey, the sister of Betty June Binnicker, declared, "Everybody knew that he done it, even before they had the trial they knew that he done it. But, I don't think that they had too much of a trial."
Describing the one-day proceedings as not "too much of a trial" seems an understatement.
And now, seven decades after Stinney's execution, a respectful group of advocates are before Judge Mullen, asking for a new trial. A docu-drama movie will soon be released, too: "83 Days: the Murder of George Stinney Jr." written by Ray Lenard Brown, who describes himself as "President/CEO of Pleroma Studios Entertainment, an independent motion picture production company that is located near Washington, D.C."
"We want them to consider the possibility that he was wrongly convicted and executed for something he did not do," said Brown.
But Judge Mullen made it clear her task is not to determine guilt or innocence but whether young George got a fair trial. Her ruling is expected within a month.
Most legal analysts agree that a new trial is a reach. But this hearing itself is a victory for those who want the case revisited, if only for the purpose of reminding South Carolinians of some very dark days in its criminal justice history.
That purpose has been achieved.
Judge Mullen of Hilton Head Island, who once served in the Charleston Public Defender's Office, offered this compelling summary point: "In essence, not much was done for this child when his life lay in the balance."
It seems that Judge Mullen takes her humanity to the bench, and her subjective comments in a very objective proceeding should stir our conscience.
In 2014, South Carolina lives closer to the standard that justice is a ponderous process of fairness, or it is not justice. Judge Mullen and the officers of her court in Sumter must work with missing records and severely-dated memories and evolved state laws.
They are doing their best, and clearly, they're giving George Stinney a fairer and more complete judicial process than he received over those incredible 83 days in 1944.

Bond front runner James Norton found it hard to enjoy the buzz around his first Golden Globes appearance as he was feeling "low" at the time.
British actor James stepped out at the annual American awards bash last January (16), just ahead of his small screen epic War & Peace being screened across the globe, and to promote show Grantchester which is aired by PBS.
While it should have been an exciting point in his career, James admits in a new interview with British Vogue his head wasn't in the right place.
"On paper, I should have been happier than ever but I've rarely felt so low," he confessed. "I had been flown over (to Hollywood) for the Golden Globes and stayed in town to promote (TV show) Grantchester but for all the heady, boozy, all-expenses-paid fun of it, I was actually just really lonely and really confused by what was happening to my life."
London-born James is one of a crop of stars thought to be in the running to step into Daniel Craig's shoes when he quits the James Bond franchise, with bookies now tying him with Tom Hardy and Irish actor Aidan Turner in succeeding the current 007.
While James didn't comment on his chances at becoming the next super spy, he did talk about why staying in shape is so important in his line of work.
"I'm not an idiot. I know how it all works and I know why the producers want me to take my top off occasionally," he shrugged.
"But I reckon it's about time that male actors experience the sort of objectification that actresses have been putting up with for years."

A Hamilton County man charged with raping two young Chickamauga, Ga., boys was arrested this week, court records show.
Harry Willard Williams, 48, was indicted on two counts of child rape by the Hamilton County grand jury on Nov. 30, but was not arrested until Tuesday.
Williams is accused of repeatedly raping the two boys between Jan. 1, 2010 and April 15 of this year, according to an indictment filed in Hamilton County Criminal Court.
The indictment did not state Williams' relationship to the boys or the boys' precise ages, but indicated that they were between three and 13 years old.
Assistant District Attorney Bill West said he could not comment on the circumstances surrounding the case or how Williams came into contact with the children, but said the boys were "very young."
West said the cases involving young children are often brought directly to the grand jury instead of going through General Sessions Court. The move protects young children from having to testify in open court on several occasions and also protects their identity, he said.
Williams is currently in custody at the Hamilton County Jail. His next court date is Dec. 16 before Criminal Court Judge Barry Steelman.
Willams previously has been charged in Hamilton County for driving under the influence, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Honda Cuts Profit Target by 62-Percent
It was just six weeks ago that Honda Motors gave a profit forecast of $5.5 billion for 2008. As of today that forecast is being cut 62% to $2.1 billion. Honda's announcement of the sudden change in forecast and future prospects demonstrates that not even Honda is immune from the global financial troubles.
Honda plans to not renew contracts with temporary workers as well as halting development on diesel engines, the successor to the NSX sportscar and it's Formula One sponsorship all in an effort to curb expendatures. They also plan to delay opening its new flagship production facility in Tokyo and cutting executive pay.
One thing Honda is not doing is cutting their hybrid and small car development. These future vehicle are believed to be the key to Honda's future success. Read more at BusinessWeek.

The old BAe/Marconi office block has almost completely gone, after a number of weeks of demolition work. Thankfully this time it looks like the trees will survive??
Let's not forget (like we don't forget those that fell in wars) that the land behind that fence was once farm land.
Hambledon parade is also getting a makeover, with new shops being built on the opposite side of Hambledon road on the Taylor Wimpey Wellington Park development.
Again the land where the new shops are being built was once farm land, another fallen victim.

Here you can find all the information about class 6CV! I hope you find this page useful!
Our Half Term!
We all need to learn our times-tables!
Until the end of this year, all children should be practising their times-tables to improve upon their rapid recall skills!
Bronze - can recall the times-table in order
Silver - can recall the times-table out of order
Gold - can recall the division facts to the times table too!
(ALL CHILDREN) Times-tables facts to at least 12 x 12, including division facts, need to be secure. If children are less than confident in this respect, many aspects of other 'number related' maths become at the very least more difficult and sometimes impossible. To be 'secure' means responding accurately within a few seconds (no more than around five seconds).
Children should be reading at home every night if possible, and signed in their planners at least three times a week. There will be a prize at the end of each half term for the child who has read the most times at home, and for the child with the biggest improvement in reading.
When reading at home, some questions to think about include:
Who are your main characters?
What does that word mean or imply?
Can you give me an overview of what you have read?
Can you find...
How do you think he/she feels?
Our target this term is all to do with structuring sentences. We want to be able to form all of the different sentence types. Have a look below!
Simple sentence: I really enjoy going to my fantastic school.
Compound sentence: I really enjoy going to my fantastic school because I have a great teacher!
Complex sentence: I really enjoy going to my fantastic school, which is called Bolsover Church of England Junior School, because I have a great teacher!
Can you make your own examples?
6CV PE will be EVERY Monday and Thursday. It is expected that pupils wear the correct school kit (white PE top, red shorts and plimsols or trainers). All earrings need to be removed plus a bobble be provided to tie back long hair. Please could you also ensure all items of P.E kit are clearly labelled with your child's name. Thank you!
Homework is given out every Wednesday, and is to be handed back in on a Monday. This will consist of a reading, SPaG and maths activity.
There are spellings which are handed out on a Monday and are linked to our work in school. These are tested on the following Monday.
There is also the expectation that each child reads as often as they are able - but a minimum of three times a week, this will be checked by Miss Vernon on a Monday morning. Please be sure to have the planner signed!
Class Dojo
Please ensure you are connected to our class dojo system. This is a reward scheme we use in class to praise good behaviour and hard work. If you do not have access to our class yet, please see Miss Vernon for a letter personalised to you and your child.

VMware and Microsoft approach the Small to Medium companies quite differently, but which product to buy often depends on your business needs vs cost of the products. However, there needs to be at least one major distinction: SMB vs SME.
The Small to Medium Business (SMB) is quite a bit different than the growing number of Small to Medium Enterprises (SME), and VMware knows this does Microsoft or Citrix?
SMB vs SME does it matter? In a nutshell yes it does. The feature requirements for virtualization and cloud products are distinctly different. The major difference is that the SMB is not an IT centric shop requiring 24/7 availability of core IT services. An SME on the other hand includes IT as part of the business and invests accordingly as well as maintains a 24/7 availability. In essence, the difference is the mindset and how much appetite for downtime exists within the organization.
This appetite for downtime will govern the required feature set for any virtual environment. If there is very little appetite for downtime, then look at High Availability, live migration capabilities (Citrix XenMotion, VMware vMotion, or Hyper-V Live Migration) for virtual machines, and perhaps hot migration of a VM from one storage device to another. With the ability to have downtime after hours, these features may not be required.
So what options exist for to satisfy an SMB or SME?
- Citrix XenServer or Open Source Xen
- Microsoft Hyper-V which ships with every version of Windows Server 2008.
- RedHat Virtualization based on KVM or Open Source KVM
- VMware vSphere Essentials or Essentials Plus (depending on appetite for downtime)
- VMware vSphere Standard or Advanced (depending on the number of virtual environment hosts required and appetite for downtime)
One key issue for an SMB/SME is manageability, without the ability to easily manage the virtual environment which often rules out many of the Open Source products. This implies use of Microsoft System Center, VMware vCenter, XenCenter, or VirtManager. Microsoft System Center able to manage more than one product (HyperV, vSphere, or XenServer) using third party plugins. VirtManager can also manage more than one product (Xen, KVM) while the others are limited in scope. But which is the proper product for the SMB/SME?
What confuses this issue even more is the fact that most SMB/SME organizations run predominantly Microsoft Windows physical or virtual machines. While the SME may purchase a Enterprise Volume License for Windows, others may just opt to purchase Datacenter or even individual licenses. As such, licensing becomes a very large issue with respect to virtualization and Microsoft and other products. Some third party products still license by core in use (such as Oracle) regardless of how many virtual CPUs are assigned to a VM. But there is little clarity and consistency between vendors, so licensing continues to be a major issue.
For the SMB going with Microsoft Hyper-V may be the best approach. If you want or need availability higher end services are required that are available at higher license levels of Citrix XenServer and VMware vSphere or other third party tools to make these available with Hyper-V. Yet Hyper-V offers a set of virtualisation services that will cater for a number of use cases and due to the fact that it doesn't require extra licenses, or a different core OS to be managed Hyper-V is increasingly seen as a preferable option.
So how are the vendors marketing to the SMB and SME? Microsoft is relying on Microsoft Windows Server 2008R2 to do it for them as its built in and available. VMware has changed it's licensing once more to allow more upgrades from the limited vSphere Essentials products to higher levels, as well as moving vMotion functionality down to the Essentials Plus package. Which makes Essentials Plus with vMotion and HA a viable alternative for SMEs. Citrix and Microsoft have always had Live Migration at their lowest levels but you need to jump at least one level in packaging to gain High Availability. But as we've discussed, not all SMBs want or need High Availability but this is required by the SME.
So all things being equal, functional similarities exist, not at the lowest license level of licensing, but one step above for nearly all the hypervisor vendors. But the catch is how to license the VMs you are using. In this, Microsoft has the advantage over all the others unless you happen to run mostly non-Microsoft operating systems within your SMB or SME virtual environment.
Some things just do not change.

Lick the Walls.
Tuesday, June 17, 2014
In fact, artist Anya Gallaccio had a less-than-romantic vision when creating the installation, which is titled Stroke: "The desire to interact by picking, licking or stroking the chocolate-covered walls is almost compulsive. What is beautiful…becomes putrid and decayed."
Foulness of old and over-licked chocolate aside, I have to wonder also: will there be ants?

I didn't even think of ants! I just wondered how much chocolate was used on the wall and how much was eaten while creating this work.

That is insanely gross, ha ha ha. I love weird art installations, was anyone allowed to lick it or only the artist? I'd be tempted to find an unlicked spot :P tempted!

Fai, yes, I think it does, slowly.
Fee, anyone is allowed! I think that's what's meant by "what's beautiful becomes putrid." :)

Lady Liberty SA
A mobile legal office traveling to margenalised communities providing pro bono legal information & services to women.
The problem we aim to solve:
We deem legal access to be a basic Human Right enabling women to protect themselves; making them less prone to abuse.
The solution our project offers:
Legal education on rights [and responsibilities] coupled with actual case resolution. Focusing on domestic violence, sexual assault, marriage, maintenance & divorce. Our goal is to increase access to justice for underpriviledged women.
The impact our project had so far:
2000 women reached and provided legal advice. 25 cases resolved.
Who is behind this project?
We love community engagement: The more you interact, the more stars you get! (E.g.: Write a comment, publish a project or apply for a need)
About the project
News Flash
Samantha Ngcolomba, founder of Lady Liberty, has been nominated as one of the ten women nominees for L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth! Vote for her, and Lady Liberty could win R50 000 to go towards making legal support accessible to women. VOTE HERE: http://womenofworth.bitfinity.co.za/nominees/
"Any law that doesn't work for the people it's intended for, is as useless as medicine locked up in a cupboard while people needing it suffer".
"Access to Justice for All"
Lady Liberty SA aims to increase access to justice for margenalised women. We use technology and a mobile legal office, which travels to poor and remote communities with a to provide (Pro Bono) legal education and services to the women there.
Our focus is on Domestic Violence (Protection Orders), Marriage (Customary vs. Civil) and Divorce (Process, Asset Distribution, Maintenance & Children's Rights).
We're proud to now offer assistance with Labour Law cases too via our partners "Uluntu Law Clinic". We're currently working on a mobile app, USSD and completing our Facebook Free Basics mobi-platform so our legal education and services can reach more women virtually!
How we do what we do:
- Actual Community visits arranged as follows:
- We use radio, social media, print and broadcast media to find our women and raise awareness about our services
- When we get to our chosen community, we conduct a ±30minute presentation on the mentioned topics
- We then open up the floor to questions and answers
- Then we take on new and pending cases for resolution on behalf of women who qualify for probono assistance.
- Using technology to increase our reach:
- Facebook Free Basics awarded us a mobi-site which will be free for women on CellC and minimally charged for the rest
- We're building a USSD platform and SMS platform for women with feature phones to also access our legal information and services
The impact we've had so far:
We've reached ± 1 600 women (aged between 18 years - 6o years) in the following Gauteng townships: Alexandra, Diepsloot, Lenasia, Westbury, Soweto, Yeoville, Tsakane.
In collaboration with Soul City in 2015, we were able to work with young women in Mpumalanga, Free State, Pretoria and Eastern Cape. All women received legal information and we received feedback from a few (±5) who resolved a matter on their own based on the information received.
The majority (±250 that we know about) await our additional services such as linking them to lawyers for matter resolution. Lady Liberty SA's capacity is limited to fulfil these services however we work in partnership with Norton Rose Fulbright who have thousands of lawyers on their network(s) that they attempt to link to us to solve matters pro bono.
Interested to support us?
You can get involved in the following ways:
- We need lawyers to sign-up to solve matters or join the community roadshows (or both).
Not a lawyer, that's ok:
We are in need of different services like marketing, web development or other skills.
We need Corporates and/or other investors to 'sponsor a case' should we be unable to get pro-bono lawyers, then we can pay fees on behalf of the ladies.
While we work on our Facebook Free Basics mobi-site to virtually reach women via their phones, we need a developer or moola to pay a developer to develop an IOS and Andriod App.
Our ladies often need shelters, counselling and skills development, so Organisations focusing on all or any of the above may get in touch.
L'Oreal Paris 'Women of Worth' SA
Through our work 'Lady Liberty SA', Sam N. Ngcolomba was recently honoured as one of L'Oreal Paris' inaugural Women of Worth SA Honourees!

PJs KM-Style
How to wear the pyjama suit - Master night-to-day dressing in its most sophisticated guise: the pyjama suit.
Featuring on runways everywhere for the last few seasons, we're confident the pyjama suit will make a reappearance this London Fashion Week - this sophisticated trend is definitely worth getting out of bed for. Unexpectedly versatile, the pyjama suit can be worn for work, weekends or play - all you have to do is switch up the styling.
Take your cue from the world's front-row when wearing yours, and keep your hair, make-up and accessories uber-polished - think the opposite of bed-time. That means strappy high heels, pretty lipstick, smoothed-out hair - and just a little bit of attitude.
If you prefer to wear separates, Karen Millen's pyjama wrap jacket works just as well with off-duty denim as it does with the matching trousers.
Style it with classic blue jeans (vintage wash skinny jeans work perfectly) and a textured sleeveless top. To complete the look, you'll need a splash of colour - we'll be wearing ours with Karen Millen's suede block heels in orange.
Love the PJ-inspired contrast piping trousers? KM have the perfect blouse. Their ivory contrast blouse works the monochrome colour palette, but is made from an ultra-soft silky fabric that chimes with the boudoir trend.
We love the way the red leather chain shoulder bag adds a playful charm to this look.

This year's DrupalCon 2016 in New Orleans was one of the best 'Cons to date.
Set in the city of mouth-watering food and drinks, stunning architecture and never-ending festivities, DrupalCon 2016 was an extravaganza of good times: from the many thought-provoking sessions and keynotes we attended, to connecting with friends both old and new at the booth, Civic Lounge Happy Hour and other events, to giving back to the community via code sprinting and event sponsorship.
Here are some conference themes and sessions that resonated with us, as well as a recap of some of the CivicActions event highlights.
Conference Themes and Sessions
Drupal 8
Unsurprisingly, the largest theme at DrupalCon this year was the adoption of Drupal 8 — getting started with D8, theming and site building, configuration management, automated testing, security and more.
Despite its relatively recent release, D8 adoption rate is climbing and modules are being ported over on a regular basis. Community participation and programs such as Acquia's D8 Module Acceleration Program are working hard and providing resources to ensure that the next project you build will be in Drupal 8, not 7.
D8-related sessions to watch are Aha! Understanding and Using Render Arrays in Drupal 8, How Drupal8 Makes Your Website More Easily Accessible, and Altering, Extending, and Enhancing Drupal 8.
Automated Testing
This year saw an uptick in sessions and conversations surrounding automated testing, particularly Javascript testing, visual regression, and behavior driven testing using tools such as Behat.
Standout sessions include Behat: Behavior-Driven Development, Functional Tests & Selenium (in Drupal!) and Automated javascript testing: where we are and what we actually want.
Component Driven Development
A number of sessions and BoFs demonstrated an exciting maturation in Drupal's approach to component-driven development.
Ranging from a case study of Theme-driven development with a living style guide, to a BoF called The Zen Theme and the art of Component Libraries with Twig and Drupal 8, we saw some great examples for how to use components and living style guides for agile web project. For Drupal 8, there seems to be an emerging consensus for how to handle components in D8's twig template files, with a Model/View/Presenter pattern in the theme for managing the relationship between Drupal's content model and the front end.
We're excited to start trying out new tools to find better ways to help build bridges between design, development and content creators.
CivicActions at DrupalCon
By far, the best part of DrupalCon is getting the opportunity to meet and share with other Drupalers from around the world. At the Civic Lounge, hosted by CivicActions with partners NuCivic and DrupalSquad, we shared our vision for open, agile, and transparent solutions for transforming government with individuals from a variety of state, local, and federal government agencies as well as from non-profit and higher ed backgrounds. This year saw the first ever Government Summit, where we made new friends and learned a lot about the challenges facing government employees in IT.
Our team members were involved in leading several BoFs, or "Birds of a Feather" sessions that bring together like-minded individuals in an unstructured format to talk about a particular topic.
Tuesday afternoon, CivicActions' Owen Barton co-presented "Security and Compliance Challenges and Strategies" with CHIEF's Kat Kuhl, Jason Ford and Shea Nangle from BlackMesh. The BOF focused on overcoming challenges with Drupal strategies and modules related to requirements such as FISMA protocols and FedRAMP certification. Participants were largely concerned with collecting and securing HIPAA data in a Drupal site. Here are notes from "Security and Compliance Challenges and Strategies".
On Wednesday, Eric Napier led a discussion on BDD Testing in Drupal that compared different behavior-driven testing tools such as Behat, PHPSpec, and Codeception, noting their respective advantages, challenges, Drupal support, and ease of use. Eric notes that while Behat is currently the tool of choice for most of the attendees, many expressed interest in alternate tools such as Codeception, particularly one that would better facilitate a BDD workflow.
Lightning Talks
Associate Director of Engineering Adam Bergstein facilitated several lightning talks at the Civic Lounge booth, including Accessible Continuous Integration – Security and Compliance Edition and Hacking Agile Contracts.
CivicLounge Happy Hour
The Civic Lounge Happy Hour on Wednesday night brought together individuals from higher ed, local, state and federal government, and other industries for a night of networking, food and music DJ'd by DrupalSquad VP of Business Development, Leif Utne.
We were excited to see such a great turnout!
We had such a wonderful week, jam-packed full of exciting events, sessions, parties and, of course, food and music.
Can't wait to see you next year in Baltimore!

Kanye West Schedules Much-Anticipated Return to Award Shows
Taylor Swift probably won't be there, though.
After some time out of the spotlight, Kanye has recently returned to making music and being mad at people; now, his first appearance at an awards show since Taylor Swift erroneously won Best Female Video at the VMAs has been announced as well. It'll go down June 27 at the BET Awards, where 'Ye's scheduled to perform. For better or worse, Taylor Swift most likely will not be there ... but Justin Bieber will! [MTV]

Napoleon had Waterloo. Will Mitt Romney's downfall be Boca Raton?
His presidential campaign has been in damage control after comments Romney made at a $50,000-a-plate fundraiser at a $3-million mansion west of Boca Raton in May surfaced this week. Romney told donors it wasn't his job "to worry" about the "47 percent of Americans" that he branded unwavering Obama supporters.
Romney characterized them as people who don't pay federal income taxes, people who consider themselves "victims," people "who are dependent upon government…who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it."
For an encore, Romney could conceivably shout, "Don't let them eat government cheese!" at a jobs fair next week.
Actually, for an encore, Romney will return to Boca Raton on Oct. 22 for the most important night of his political life – his final debate with President Barack Obama at Lynn University.
In the meantime, Romney will return to Palm Beach County for another fundraiser on Thursday evening. I wonder if they'll be frisking everyone for smart phones.
For a candidate trying to shake the "out-of-touch rich guy" image that's dogged him all campaign, Romney's comments, taped surreptitiously at equity fund manager Marc Leder's home, can't help.
On Wednesday, Romney walked himself back from his remarks in an interview with Univision at the University of Miami. "My campaign is about the 100 percent of Americans," Romney said. "I'm concerned about them." He said over the last four years, "more people have fallen into poverty, more people are on food stamps. This is a campaign about helping people who need help."
He said that as Massachusetts governor, he worked with a Democratic-controlled Legislature as incomes rose and unemployment fell. "I have a record," Romney said. "I've demonstrated my capacity to help the 100 percent."

While there still is no official word forthcoming from the Seattle Seahawks on the expected signing of running back Edgerrin James, the boys at nfl.com apparently aren't in the mood to idly spin their wheels.
The biography page on James on the league's website already has changed James' mug shot to include him in a blue Seahawks' jersey instead of his former Arizona Cardinals' red.
Here's a link to the page.
In the meantime, the beat goes on — with no sign of the new drummer — at Seahawks headquarters.
James and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, did spend the day at Seahawks headquarters, but no settlement has been reached. Obviously there are still issues to be haggled out, whether it's about money, health or who knows what.
Despite reports to the contrary, James has not yet signed a contract. And until he does, it's still possible for this thing to fall through.
At this point, given both sides are in the same building working on it, I would think a deal remains imminent.
But we'll see …

Outstanding Performance
To us, success means delivering superior returns to our shareholders. We actively promote individual and corporate responsibility, and reward outstanding performance.
Continued Growth
Aggressively Develop Our Wattenberg Field Position
We hold approximately 70,000 net acres in the oily extension area of the Wattenberg Field in Weld County, Colorado, which provides some of the strongest economic return projects in the United States today. The play consists of multiple stacked benches of opportunity, including the Niobrara B Bench, the Niobrara C Bench, and the Codell formation. Downspacing and the application of the extended reach laterals continue to increase the value inherent within these properties.
Fund Oily Growth with Existing Oily Low-Cost Proved Inventory
We will continue drilling our proved vertical locations in southern Arkansas. This region is characterized by low-risk infill development providing free cash flow to partially fund our Wattenberg horizontal development. This oil and liquids-weighted asset provides strong economics and margins, and a stable production base.
Pursue Accretive Acquisitions
We intend to pursue bolt-on acquisitions in areas where we operate and where we believe we possess a strategic or technical advantage. In addition, we intend to focus on other oil and liquids-rich opportunities where we believe our operational experience will enhance the value and performance of acquired properties.
Maintain High Degree of Operatorship
We operate approximately 99% of our existing proved reserves and maintain a high working interest in our properties. We prefer to operate and control the development of our assets, allowing us to leverage our technical, operating, and management skills, and govern the timing of our capital expenditures.
