Gilmore Girls
These days I have to be extra nice in stores. It never fails that whenever I look as bad as I can possibly look or I am sort of cranky because the store is out of something, that is precisely the time when someone will recognize me and say: I really like your show. Lauren Graham
A Lofty, appealing TV and movie actress who stand outs at portraying comic roles with whip-fast dialogue, Lauren Graham is best-known for her portrayal of Lorelai Gilmore, the wisecracking young mother who shares a sisterly acquaintance with her teenaged daughter in The WBs hit show Gilmore Girls (2000-?). For her virtuoso acting, Graham took home a 2001 Family Television Award, as well as earned a Golden Globe and two Screen Actors Guild nominations. A regular on several short-lived shows, including Good Company (1996), Townies (1996) and M.O.Y.B (2000), Graham also landed some notable roles in the mid-to late 90s such as recurring roles on the NBCs Caroline in the City, Law& Order and NewsRadio, and a guest stint in the popular comedy Seinfeld.
Grahams fame, however, has not been limited to television. Kicking off her film career in 1997 with the thriller Nightwatch, the attractive Graham has since dotted her resume with a number of vehicles, including the hit comedy Bad Santa (2003, opposite Billy Bob Thornton). Grahams admirers should not miss her attractive performance in the upcoming Because I Said So, and Evan Almighty, set for release in 2007.
Off screen, Lauren Graham is Irish Catholic. She owns a production company named Good Game, which she founded in 2003. On a personal front, the brunette beauty is not married and currently resides in West Hollywood, where Gilmore Girls is shot. As for her romantic life, during her senior year at Columbia University, she dated Robert Maschio, but the relationship ended. She was once linked to actor Tate Donovan, and more recently, she is dating actor Marc Blucas. Being asked about guys she goes for, she said, I wouldnt pick anybody from N Sync. I love Jeff Bridges. I like guys who have some gravity and look like they can ride a horse.
Drill Team
Childhood and Family:
Daughter of the President of the Chocolate Manufacturers Association Lawrence Graham and his ex-wife Donna Grant, Lauren Helen Graham was born on March 16, 1967, in Honolulu, Hawaii. Lauren was left under the guidance of her dad when she was five after her mother departed the family to pursue a singing career in London. Along with her father, Lauren traveled extensively as a child. She spent her early years in Fairfax, Virginia before relocating to Washington D.C, in which her father took a congressional staffer position. Laurens father remarried in 1981, with stepmother Karen Graham, from whom she has two half siblings: Maggie and Chris.
While growing up, tomboy Lauren had a passion for riding horse and dreamed of becoming a jockey in the future. But, her height became an impediment (she was to tall). Aside from horse back riding, young Lauren was interested in acting from an early age. She was educated in Langley High School and was a member of the Drill Team which is a blend of Cheerleading and Dance. She then attended Barnard College/Columbia University in New York and received a B.A degree in English in 1988. Moving to Texas, Lauren continued her study at Dallas Southern Methodist University, where she graduated with a M.F.A degree in Acting in 1992.
Bad Santa
Hawaii-born, Virginia-raised actress Lauren Graham found acting while in elementary school and performed in a number of theatrical presentations throughout high school. She went on to hone in her crafts while attending Barnard College, where she joined the female a capella/comedy troupe the Metronomes. After completing her study, Graham, with a MFA degree in acting on her pocket, moved to New York to give acting a try, while also working as a cocktail waitress. While there, she snagged an agent and took part in a few stage productions before finally making her way to Los Angeles to find more work.
Arriving in Hollywood in 1995, Graham soon broke to television when she was cast opposite Lea Thompson in the recurring role of Shelley, the lively but deprived lover of artist Richard Karinsky in the first season of NBCs sitcom Caroline in the City (1995-96). After doing a spot on 3rd Rock from the Sun (1996), she progressed to a series regular with roles in the short-lived CBS sitcom Good Company (1996), playing smart copywriter Liz Gibson, and ABCs momentary comedy Townies (1996), in which she was singled out for her talent in settling her characters fast-talking and unpredictable moods as Denise Garibaldi Callahan, the twentysomething new mom who attempts to get her live-in boyfriend to the altar. The latter series saw her costar with Jenna Elfman, Molly Ringwald, Dion Anderson and Billy Burr.
By year 1997, Graham had branched out to film acting. Making her motion picture debut with a supporting part in the thriller Nightwatch (1997), which starred Patricia Arquette and Ewan McGregor, the actress had her next exposure by landing a larger turn as soap opera performer Tracy in director/actor Sandy Tungs Confessions of a Sexist Pig (1998). Next up for Graham, she had a supporting role as Renee Zellwegers best friend in the drama film One True Thing (1998) and costarred as Kristie Sue, the romantic interest of the title character (played by Billy Burke) in Dill Scallion (1999), a mockumentary about the world of country music that featured cameos by Willie Nelson and LeAnn Rimes.
Meanwhile, Graham had a three-episodic guest arc as Lisa Lundquist, a studio executive who pursues Detective Reynaldo Curtis (Benjamin Bratt), in Law& Order (1997), a one-line turn as Jerry Seinfelds speed-dial-obsessed girlfriend Valerie in the hit comedy Seinfeld (1997) and a recurring role as the efficiency specialist Andrea in NBCs sitcom NewsRadio (1997), in which her playful but merciless turn garnered Graham a lot of kudos. In 1998, she returned to TV sitcom with a starring role in the NBC Conrad Bloom, playing the ex-girlfriend-turn-best buddy of advertising executive Molly Davenport. Unfortunately, the show, which cast Mark Feuerstein in the title role, was stopped airing by the network after its 13th episode, that same year.
Continuing her work for TV, Graham essayed the starring role of Opal Marie Brown, a high school officer who tries to keep the lid on a defiant niece in the Don Roos-created comedy M.O.Y.B (2000). The NBC-aired series, however, was axed after only five episodes due to low ratings. A veteran of short-lived series, Grahams career gained real impetus when she had a lead role in the WB family drama Gilmore Girls (2000-?). As fast-talking Lorelai Gilmore, the thirtysomething mother raising a teen (played by Alexis Bledel), Graham was garnered with several nods during the first two seasons such as two Screen Actors Guild for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series Screen (2001 and 2002) and a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series Drama (2002).Grahams impressive portrayal of sardonic and hard-working single mom also won her a 2001 Family Television for Best Actress as well as got her much media exposure. She was even named one of E! Onlines Hollywoods Bachelorettes: Sexy and Single in 2004. As for the show, the Amy Sherman-created has received critical accolades and become one of the most trustworthy ratings-grabbers at WB network.
While enjoying the success on the small screen, Graham kept on busy with other projects. She made her big screen comeback by teaming up with Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron in the romance film Sweet November (2001), in which she appeared as Reeves girlfriend Angelica. After costarring with Casper Van Dien and Christopher Lloyd in the made-for-TV film Chasing Destiny (2001), she made a cameo appearance as woman at party in the comedy/romance The Third Wheel (2002, starred Luke Wilson, Denise Richards and Ben Affleck) and was memorable as the sex-crazed department store Santa groupie Sue in the Billy Bob Thornton dark comedy hit Bad Santa (2003) for director Terry Zwigoff. Next up were roles in the comedy films Seeing Other People (2004) with Jay Mohr, Julianne Nicholson and Andy Richter, director Chris Halls indie Lucky 13 (2005) opposite Brad Hunt, Taryn Manning, Brande Roderick and Harland Williams, Josh Stolbergs The Life Coach (2005) and the Jeff Bridges and Tim Blake Nelson vehicle The Moguls (2005). Additionally, she stared as a high school principal conflicting with Navy SEAL-turned-government babysitter Vin Diesel in the Adam Shankman-helmed The Pacifier (2005) and took part in a short movie called Gnome (2005).
Away from filmmaking throughout 2006, Graham can add Michael Lehmanns Because I Said So and the comedy/fantasy Evan Almighty (both 2007) to her imposing film resume. The latter will see Graham sharing the screen with Johnny Simmons and Jimmy Bennett.

The Characters:
Corey - A young man looking for the farm where his family was killed years ago.
Elaine - Corey's girlfriend, she wears panties with a red heart sewn over the left buttock.
Dell - Muscular, blonde, dumb guy who apparently owns Terri.
Terri - Dell's girlfriend, a huge step back for women's rights.
Jack - The token nerd with no combat abilites at all, he's the last to die of course.
Bonnie - Girls do find nerds attractive, really.
Chuck - Terri's old boyfriend who is a martial arts master, champion hackeysack player, and magician.
Styx - The other magician, tends to talk with his eyes closed.
Willie and Renee - Fodder.
The Plot:
Special effects that look like they were drawn on the film with a crayon along with masses of demonic nonsense, drop a cast into this including some dude wearing a magician outfit and you're all set. Even though it makes me thump my noggin I like the "kick the can" scene and when Corey suddenly turns into a bald elf! When the cast begins to thin out a carload of other people, who we had no idea were showing up, arrive. Look for the hologram box folks (yep, hologram cover) next time at the video store.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
Dropping a snowglobe on the floor will cause your house to explode.
Human skeletons naturally remain intact even when hanging from a cross.
Speaking Latin causes earthquakes.
Having Satan in the area is worse on car batteries than leaving your lights on all night.
When trapped in an otherworldly house, in the middle of the night, with a half naked demonic woman calling you - for pete's sake don't go outside.
Multiple gunshots will not wake your friends up.
When you start running low on friends the others, that you totally forgot about, will show up.
Shotguns hold about, oh twenty rounds. Pistols at least a dozen.
Possessed people continously spit up pancake batter.
Stuff To Watch For:
10 mins - Why is this girl pointing a stick at the car?
12 mins - Corey is dreaming about talking to his dead grandmother, in the middle of the night, while he's naked at a gas station... ...oh to hear Freud's spin on this.
21 mins - Corey says, "Oh yeah." but his mouth never moves.
30 mins - Okay, everyone walk this way offscreen but don't look at the camera. I said don't look at the camera damn it!
81 mins - Where the heck did Bonnie come from and why is that thing chowing on her?
84 mins - Holy cow! Corey turned into a bald elf!
92 mins - Hello? Sound guy, could we get some sound in here?
Ending Credits - I can't read them, at all. Must've been the sound guy's brother.

I can't believe it.
This movie is on the Horror Channel in UK right now, and my gawd is it cheesy :-)
It's unbelievably trashy, which is why we are watching it. It's so bad it deserves to be special :-)

Despite my harsh review of Demon Wind, I have a soft spot for it in my heart. I mean it doesn't try to be something that it's not. It's a cheesy movie that's highly watchable. There are a lot worse movies out there and believe me I have seen them. I hope this movie comes out on D.V.D. some day.

I love this movie. I own a copy of this movie. This is so much more entertaining than crap I've seen in theaters.
Sure, most characters are really dumb, but come on, it is a low budget flick.
Plus the chicks are hot.

Was he a wizard, or an alien or a conehead????

Demon Wind is a cheesy horror film , it's fun , entertaining and very atmospheric . It's actually one of my favorite movies in the B horror movie genre . First being The Evil Dead . They really created a creepy atmosphere . It is not as bad as people say , at all . I don't understand why people talk about it the way they do . I own the DVD and i think that if your a hardcore horror fan and enjoy stuff like cheesy 80's & early 90's horror films you will appreciate this movie .

The scope of the works at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, Calif., is matched only by its quality, says Los Angeles County Museum of Art director Andrea Rich, who joins the ranks of those who dub the museum "a jewel."
Ranging from the 14th to the 20th century, the paintings and sculptures include Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo masterworks by Raphael, El Greco, Rubens, Rembrandt, and Hals, as well as what Getty curator of paintings Scott Schaefer has called the "extraordinary Impressionist works," highlighted by a collection of Degas sculptures.
Other outstanding works include pieces by Goya, Manet, Monet, Renoir, Picasso, van Gogh, and Czanne. The print collection encompasses what are considered some of the finest and rarest etchings of Rembrandt, Goya, and Picasso.
Among the sculptures from South Asia in the collection are major works from India, Nepal, Thailand, and Cambodia.

The Crunch: When Tom Kulzer wrote a program to help his company keep up with all of the information requests it was receiving, he just wanted to help boost sales. But Tom had invented the first email autoresponder, and his pioneering program led to the founding of AWeber, an email marketing automation company with a track record of innovation and customer service. AWeber doesn't just automate emails, it offers integrations with many powerful online tools to source leads. A suite of mobile apps developed by AWeber brings incredible flexibility to small businesses seeking a larger reach. AWeber also has a wealth of educational resources that keep users informed of best practices so small retailers can learn to grow their businesses.
In the mid-1990s, Tom Kulzer worked for a company selling wireless modems online. Since the modems were complicated pieces of technology, the company was inundated with emails containing questions about the products. But Kulzer found that the salesmen weren't responding to all of the emails, just the ones that were easy to convert to sales. He searched for a solution, but couldn't find one.
So, Kulzer wrote a program that would automatically send a series of emails in response to queries about the modems. He told Entrepreneurs-Journey.com the email response program was so successful that the company had problems physically producing and shipping all of the modems that were ordered.
Kulzer had successfully invented the first email autoresponder but didn't know how revolutionary it would be.
After leaving the modem company behind, Kulzer realized that a lot of businesses had a need for his software, and a similar product didn't exist yet. So, Tom started AWeber, an email marketing software company that was able to fill an immediate need in the space.
AWeber took off because of its ability to deliver leads to small businesses by automatically contacting interested consumers at pre-set intervals. Since then, AWeber has continued to advance the email marketing industry, offering retailers an easy drag-and-drop editor to make memorable campaigns and feature-rich apps that bring enterprise-level tools to any business.
"Most of our customers are looking forward to setting up automated email campaigns to deliver valuable content over a particular span of time," said Tom Tate, Product Marketing Manager at AWeber. "These campaigns set the tone for the relationship between business and subscriber, and because the sending is automated, time gets invested back into the business."
AWeber's commitment to customers runs through its software, pricing structure, and its company culture. With the same service for all plans, large or small, and educational resources, including training on best practices, AWeber is a well-rounded solution for small businesses.
AWeber Has Been Innovating Email Automation for Nearly 20 Years
AWeber began with an industry-changing invention, the email autoresponder, but has since taken steps to make its software even more responsive, intuitive, and future-focused. Making email campaigns easy to implement has always been one mission, but AWeber goes beyond responses by sourcing leads and providing retailers with powerful tools to keep subscribers engaged. Its popular Campaigns platform automates email marketing, which is incredibly important considering 91% of business owners surveyed by AWeber say they are fulfilling marketing duties on their own.
With a collection of impactful templates and a drag-and-drop email editor, AWeber makes implementing a campaign simple for a smaller business owner. Campaigns are made to connect with a customer, or potential customer, at the right time, which is why retailers build a customized path for each set of circumstances.
"With Campaigns, the feedback continues to be positive," Tate told us. "Customers enjoy the ease of creating new campaigns with our intuitive drag-and-drop editor, and they are taking advantage of more robust subscriber tagging options."
The tagging options allow a business owner to assign a particular set of identifiers to customers within their email list based on interests, past purchases, or even location, to ensure they are getting the most personalized email possible.
Platform integrations with some of the most popular social media and payment sites save time and give retailers actionable data for future campaigns. Robust AWeber apps provide small businesses with reports, marketing tools, and even send engaging newsletters on the go.
Integrations with Platforms from Facebook to PayPal Provide More Leads
AWeber functionality integrates with many popular online tools to help increase customer engagement. If a business has a Facebook page connected to an AWeber account, it can add an email signup form to its Facebook page in minutes, giving fans of that business an easy way to connect.
Many small businesses use WordPress to build web pages, and AWeber has integration for that, too. An email signup form can be quickly added to the sidebar of any page, making the process a one-click affair for a user.
PayPal is another vital partner for many small retailers involved in e-commerce. One-time online customers can be turned into business subscribers through an AWeber app that can add those customers to any designated email list.
But integration with other online tools are not all that AWeber provides; it also offers a line of its own apps that offer insights and help keep a small business at the top of a consumer's mind.
Curate, Stats, and Atom Apps Help Retailers Mobilize Specific Campaigns
AWeber developed mobile apps to help leverage the power of its platform in the increasingly mobile world of small business.
The Curate app makes content curation easy by packaging it into simple designs meant to engage readers. It allows a user to input videos, photos, and text from all over the web, then add a customized message for subscribers. Curate helps AWeber users not only stay in touch with subscribers but give them relevant content quickly.
With AWeber's Stats app, a user gets updated email campaign statistics while on the go. The app's dashboard makes it easy to see a campaign's effectiveness and can help small business owners glean insights from anywhere.
The Atom app lets a small business owner source email subscribers anywhere. Its ability to collect email registrations turns practically any device or tablet into a mobile signup form. It can be useful at a convention, trade show, or anywhere a retailer interacts with customers.
Customer-Centric Culture Leads to Intuitive Software Developments
One of AWeber's core values is to be welcoming of customer input, but the company doesn't just request feedback, it reacts. That value runs through the culture of the company and goes into many of the products it makes.
"Our focus on customer success is what makes the AWeber team special," Tate said. "We strive to provide customers with the best service and develop the tools they need to connect with their email subscribers in remarkable ways. This culture permeates throughout the organization and impacts all of the decisions we make, from what product features we build, to what topics we choose to cover on our blog."
The physical workspace at AWeber helps employees stay focused on that goal of customer collaboration. As an inviting, warm, family-style environment, AWeber keeps the lines of communication open throughout the company, even referring to itself as not just "anti-cubicle" but also "anti-office-door."
Accessibility is a theme at the company level, and also in AWeber's pricing structure, which is meant to be inclusive for all businesses.
Subscriber-Based Pricing Promotes Growth for Small Businesses
AWeber bases its pricing on the number of email subscribers a business has, and offers its full complement of services to customers in each tier. This structure differentiates AWeber from many other email marketing companies that save premium services for customers at the higher priced tiers.
Each AWeber plan includes customer support, unlimited emails to a subscriber list, automation, and analytics, among a host of other offerings. A business pays a monthly fee and tiers range from zero-500 subscribers all the way up to 25,000-plus.
"By pricing our product by the amount of email subscribers you have, we can scale your costs as you scale your email marketing efforts," Tate said. "None of our email marketing features are hidden behind extra costs. For someone just getting started, our pricing will allow you to take full advantage of our product suite at a reasonable price, using the same tools our high-volume senders also have access to."
But while AWeber provides small businesses with powerful automation tools and an inclusive pricing structure, it also wants to ensure those businesses have access to the most current strategies and best practices.
AWeber Goes Beyond Support by Promoting Best Practices
Tom Kulzer started AWeber to take the success he produced for a small wireless modem company and replicate it for any small business. Kulzer believes that for his company to grow, his team must keep learning and growing, a belief that extends to AWeber users.
"Our focus on educating customers and helping them achieve success is a differentiator," Tate said.
The resources available for AWeber customers to learn more about making the perfect email campaign shows that commitment. Its online customer support includes a knowledge base section with answers to questions on just about every facet of the AWeber software and how it can be useful to a business. But the education goes well beyond just answering a few questions; AWeber offers webinars to teach users about the software plus video guides to introduce users to best practices and email campaign implementation techniques.
Education is one of AWeber's core principles, which are all aimed at improving the end-user experience. More than 100,000 businesses use the platform to grow their own customer bases, and that trust is fitting for AWeber, which is not just a leader in email marketing, but the inventor of its automation.

Celebrity Big Brother star Jeremy McConnell has spoken out to insist his relationship with Stephanie Davis is "fine".
The CBB lovebirds have had something of a whirlwind few days since leaving the house and were heard arguing in their hotel after Friday's final.
But quashing rumours their romance is already on the rocks, Jeremy wrote on Twitter: "Me and Steph have been perfect since we left the house.
"Just to let people no (sic). I love the girl."
It comes following an explosive row hours after the reality show finished.
Read more: Listen to Stephanie and Jeremy's full hotel row
The furious former Hollyoaks star flew into a rage at former Mr Ireland contestant Jeremy in the early hours of Saturday morning, waking up other guests in neighbouring rooms with the racket.
Earlier it had been claimed Jeremy had cheated on Steph while she was still in the CBB house.
Rubbishing claims of cheating, Jeremy told RSVP Online: "I've been out two times since leaving and every time there's been someone trying to feed off me and Steph.
"I would never look at any of the fame hungry girls that do these stories.
"It's expected when you're in the public eye to hear these things."
He added: "Me and Steph are both single at present and having time to ourselves, but we are both preparing ourselves to be together."

Lea Michele to 'Marie Claire:' "No One Knows Me Better Than Cory [Monteith]"
Wow, when Monchele (a combination of Cory Monteith and Lea Michele's names for those not in the know) comes out of the relationship closet, the couple goes out with a bang. In her interview with Nylon magazine this past summer, Lea briefly discussed her on- and off-screen counterpart, though, left out the fact that they were dating in real life. Then, in her spread for FLARE, she mentioned that Cory's "the nicest, sweetest guy in the world." Now, after Cory himself opened up about their coupledom on on The Ellen Show just last week, Lea's coming clean about Monchele once again in her new Marie Claire cover story.
She spills, "I don't even remember a time when he wasn't my boyfriend. No one knows me better than Cory. No one knows what it's been like to go through this more than he does. Feeling like you have that net underneath you allows you to jump higher and go farther. He makes me feel like I can do anything. For the first time in my life, I feel really, really settled and happy. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world."
But, of course, he wasn't the only topic of conversation: "I am a very outspoken person, and if something makes me uncomfortable, you will know that it makes be uncomfortable, but that's as far as it goes. I can assure you that [diva rumors] aren't real. It's super-frustrating sometimes, and I used to fight back, but now I feel like, You can think what you want to think about me — that's OK. I have the most amazing fans, friends, and family members who have stood by me, and I know that my cast and crew really enjoy working with me. That's all that matters."

text: March 6, 2014 PFW ROUND UP DAY 7 Today's round up includes Chanel, Valentino, and Alexander McQueen. CHANEL Karl Lagerfeld is undefeatable. He does the unthinkable. He goes beyond belief. And unless you're some sort of intergalactic superhero, you'll already know why tweets, Instagrams and Facebook posts were being swooned with the Chanel buzz yesterday morning. The location/atmosphere: Paris' Grand Palais was transformed into a ritzy Chanel hypermarket, where just about everything from sweets, eggs, and branded coffees and teas were displayed for an exuberant mix of guests to indulge into (and steal away with their designer shopping trollies) before the show commenced. Standout looks included: Oversized tweed coats, baby pink knits, metallic and multicolored sneakers, a classic pink skirt-suit (very Coco and appeared a suited and booted gentleman on hand), and corsets with narrow waists complementing balloon sleeves. The accessories: Asides feather dusters, shopping bags and 'lait de coco' bottle being carried by models, the long pearl necklaces with padlocks. ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Sarah Burton's been gleaming in the limelight from the very second she was appointed the creative director, and if yesterday's show is anything to by, she's not prepared to back down anytime soon. Asides being a favored designer for the stars – we're talking both celebrities and royalties – guests were taken to a mystical and surreal world of McQueen. The location/atmosphere: Imagine walking through a deserted park with trees chopped off, bushes blown away, dry grass, and weed growing in every other corner, and there you have an image of what the runway looked like. However, as odd as that sounds in black and white, it was breathtaking, magical and beautifully sinister once the show kicked off. Standout looks included: A dark splash of volumized coats and dresses, off-white dresses accompanying chunky black belts clinching in waists, and quite possibly the most innovative fur technique that fashion has ever introduced with one particular dress sending chilling reminders of Black Swan; coming in monochrome tones and almost feather-like sleeves. In fact, the collection in general was chilling. The accessories: The hair and makeup made up the accessories that were missing – not that it was particularly needed. Think extremely tight braids, some in working in spiral shapes, with heavy eyelashes against pale skin. VALENTINO Well, well, well – what do we have here? Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, of course. The super-duper duo took their guests back to the brand's roots of the more traditional Valentino woman, the exact one we've been praising and bowing down to for years. What does 'androgynous fashion' even mean? The location/atmosphere: The runway we've all been used to for years but taking in the laudable fact that it's Valentino, it doesn't matter. The clothes, and a tiny seating dysfunction that's still making everyone gasp (we're not discussing the details here), were enough to keep the crowd going and glowing. Standout looks: Geometric prints on sweeping gowns and an oversized cape, absolutely stunning floral and bird (and even some fishes too) appliques resting on dresses – which ranged from soft greys to deep navy with the most delicate of all materials – and fringing on a leather skirt and a trench-like jacket. The accessories: Tanned leather bags, but it's those ankle booties that'll be a sellout… Bio: Unsah Malik is a London-based fashion and lifestyle journalist specializing in digital and online content.

Fall Already?
My first commissioned quilt that I am accepting money for! It's for my daughters friend (I have three girls, lots of friends having babies). Will see if I actually get cash, lol.
7 comments:
Since I'm not a quilter as such I have no idea what advice to offer re your blocks. It's a mystery to me sometimes how quilters make their decisions:)Lemon cucumbers? I have never seen them before. I must check them out for next year.ReplyDelete
I like the third staircase layout for those log cabin blocks. But sometimes you just need to rearrange and let it set, then rearrange and repeat until you are happy with it. It will speak to you eventually. All quilts do. :)ReplyDelete
Your patchwork square quilt is so fun and cute! I love how you placed your colors! I have a bunch of Christmas fabric cut into squares from a previous project....guess what you inspired me to do? :)ReplyDelete
I agree the the Fields & Furrows diagonal lines are the most graphic and very attractive. I say thatsimple squares always look good! Tell us what we're dying to hear; what did you charge for the quilt? hope you get it!ReplyDelete
I love quilts made with simple patchwork squares, too! Yours is so fun - I especially like the orange in it. I also like the third layout for your log cabins.ReplyDelete
Your squares lovely, lots of colour & a simple design, win win!ReplyDelete
Such pretty squares♥ All the best for October ♥ReplyDelete

A fine biography of the obscure cleric who demonstrated that the earth was not the center of the universe.
Copernicus (1473–1543) led a humdrum life, but science writer Repcheck (The Man Who Found Time: James Hutton and the Discovery of Earth's Antiquity, 2003) does an exceptional job bringing to life his character, his era and the astronomical problem he solved. Aristotle's notion that heavenly bodies orbited the earth in perfect circles seemed reasonable to everyone except astronomers, whose calculations didn't work if they assumed he was right. Two centuries later, Ptolemy described a universe in which the earth sat slightly off-center and heavenly bodies orbited in one perfect circle inside a second perfect circle at varying speeds. Although absurdly complicated, this model enabled astronomers to calculate with reasonable accuracy; 1,500 years later, it was still in use. Born into a family of prosperous Germans who settled in Poland, Copernicus passed a leisurely youth, spending 12 years at four separate universities. He finally received a doctorate from the University of Ferrara in 1503. Despite his fascination with astronomy, he took the customary degree in canon law and returned to his local diocese in Poland, where he remained until his death 40 years later, observing the sky in his spare time. His On the Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres, packed with equations and diagrams, was incomprehensible except to astronomers, who appreciated the mathematics that improved their predictions of eclipses, solstices and planetary movements. Upon its publication in 1543, few paid attention to its heretical picture of a universe in which the earth circles the sun. Only after the flamboyant Galileo began spreading the news some 70 years later did the Catholic Church add the book to its Index in 1616.
Repcheck emphasizes that Copernicus was one of the first thinkers who looked at the world without preconceptions and set down what he observed. He deserves his place among the founders of modern science, and this lively, lucid account does him justice.

Las Vegas refining its ad strategy for a post-recession consumerBy David Kiefaber on Wed Dec 1 2010
Las Vegas's bold new post-recession branding initiative is ... doing the same crap they've always done. They're trying to lure "recession survivors," defined as people 21-54 with money to burn, back to Sin City with $8 million worth of advertising in 2011. The new campaign will highlight discounted travel packages and the value of the Las Vegas experience to a "more prudent" consumer. Which, again, is pretty much what they were doing before the country went broke. Vegas has always offered travel discounts to that demographic because it's essentially Pleasure Island for adults; the only difference now is that the stakes are higher. Visitors are spending less now—about $590 per trip—but there are still 150,000 rooms to fill. If they're going to make this work, they need to shift their image from one where lucky rollers get rich (or laid) to one where people with extra cash can have fun and blow off a little steam. In other words, it's all about subtlety and moderation. How Vegas will navigate such unfamiliar territory is anyone's guess.

USTR Expresses Optimism in Annual Review of China's WTO Compliance
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative issued this week its twelfth report to Congress on China's compliance with its World Trade Organization obligations, including both multilateral commitments and any bilateral commitments made specifically to the United States in connection with China's accession to the multilateral body. The report highlights a number of positive developments that appear to confirm a re-focusing of China's energies on economic reform. According to the USTR, a particularly notable development took place in July 2013 when China referenced its ongoing bilateral investment treaty negotiations with the U.S. and announced that it was prepared to increase its ambition and focus on the negotiation of a high-standard agreement. This announcement was followed a few months later by the creation of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, which is meant to be a pilot project for significant trade and investment liberalization and financial reform.
Another important occurrence was the endorsement by the Third Plenum Decision of several ambitious economic reform pronouncements that call for making the market "decisive" and "dominant," reducing Chinese government intervention in the economy, accelerating China's opening up to foreign goods and services, reforming China's state-owned enterprises, and improving transparency and the rule of law to allow fair competition in the domestic market. The USTR indicates that these initiatives signal a high-level determination to accelerate needed economic reform, which, if realized, would provide substantial benefits to China and its trading partners.
The report states that despite these encouraging news a broad range of Chinese policies and practices continue to generate significant concerns among U.S. stakeholders. They include export restraints, investment restrictions, serious problems with intellectual property rights enforcement (including in the area of trade secrets), indigenous innovation policies, technology transfer initiatives, government subsidization, inappropriate use of trade remedy laws, and China's slow movement toward accession to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement. In addition, the Chinese government's provision of preferences and financial support to SOEs and domestic national champions continues to skew the commercial playing field in many sectors, both in the Chinese market and abroad.
Looking ahead, the report indicates that the U.S. will look to China to reduce market access barriers, uniformly follow the fundamental principles of non-discrimination and transparency, significantly reduce the level of government intervention in the economy, fully institutionalize market mechanisms, require SOEs to compete with other enterprises on fair and non-discriminatory terms, and fully embrace the rule of law.

At the end of June, AWS took another step in its rapid global expansion campaign when it officially launched its first infrastructure region in India, as part of a $5 billion investment in the country.
The move comes in response to demand from India's 75,000 existing customers, who are already using other AWS regions, but want a data center in their own backyard—giving them sovereignty over their data and reduced latency. The new AWS region is one of thirteen to date, with additional regions in Canada, China, Ohio and the UK due to come online by the end of the year.
India is one of the world's fastest-growing economies and second only to China in terms of population. So it clearly makes commercial sense for AWS to boost its presence in the country and cash in on its burgeoning IT industry.
But how much will the new services cost? And what impact will the move have on the nation's cloud marketplace? In this post, we consider the implications AWS India will have on enterprise cloud users with operations in the country.
What Services Are Available from AWS India?
Alongside EC2 and related services such as EBS volumes, Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing, the new Mumbai region supports most of the cloud vendor's other offerings—including S3, RDS, DynamoDB and EMR. However, newer additions to the AWS portfolio, such as IoT, WorkSpaces, Lambda and the EC2 Container Service, have yet to become available. As with the Seoul region, customers have a choice of T2, M4, C4, R3, I2 and D2 instance families.
What's more, in line with other regions, AWS India users are able to create highly available, fault-tolerant environments by making use of the two availability zones on offer.
What About the Charges?
Each AWS region is an independent cloud marketplace with its own individual pricing. And the new AWS India region is no exception. But, broadly speaking, EC2 prices are in line with its Asia Pacific neighbors of Seoul, Singapore and Sydney.
EBS charges, on the other hand, are amongst the lowest outside the US, with pricing almost identical to the Seoul region. A General Purpose SSD (gp2) volume costs $0.114 per GB-month and EBS Snapshots are charged at $0.095 per GB-month. Standard Storage to S3 is priced at the same usage tier rates as the N. Virginia region.
Are There Any Other Costs?
If your enterprise operates in India and wants to migrate workloads to the country, it will need to bear in mind the cost of moving data between different regions. The cost will depend on which region you migrate your data from. In the case of EC2, for example, transferring data from the Singapore region will set you back $0.09 per GB. By contrast, it costs just $0.02 per GB to move data across from the Frankfurt region.
The cost of data transfer also highlights another important issue that enterprise cloud users face as vendors continually expand their range of services and features. This service enrichment introduces more complexity and calls for even greater visibility over costs to ensure organizations maintain financial control over their own mixture of on-premise and public cloud environments.
The Race Is On
In an emerging market, such as India, it's critical cloud vendors get a foothold in the market as early as possible. In 2014, IBM did exactly that, stealing a march on its competitors by becoming the first of the big four to open a cloud data center in the country. Microsoft quickly followed suit in 2015 when it opened sites in Pune, Chennai, and Mumbai. Nevertheless, despite lagging behind its rivals in terms of a physical presence, AWS has long been a cloud platform of choice in India for both start-ups and many high-profile companies, such as Tata Motors, NDTV and STAR India.
But existing AWS customers won't be the only cloud users to welcome the new region. India-based customers of both Azure and IBM will also benefit from the move, through increased competition and the potential for lower prices. Not only that, but the option to use AWS will make it easier for all of India's cloud users to adopt a multi-vendor cloud strategy, thereby reducing the risk of vendor lock-in.
India is a very different cloud market from that of highly developed nations, as fewer companies have the financial resources to build their own on-premise IT infrastructure. This presents a massive opportunity for all the leading cloud vendors. And now the race is on to become the dominant player in the world's seventh-largest economy.

Former Sanlu chairwoman Tian Wenhua, 66, has claimed a Fonterra-appointed director gave her a document stating the European Union's permitted levels of the industrial chemical melamine were a maximum of 20mg to every kg of milk. Fonterra chief executive Andrew Ferrier confirmed to the Herald yesterday that Tian had been given a document by a Fonterra board member. However, he said Fonterra was "vividly clear" to Sanlu that the only acceptable level of melamine was zero. At a media conference today, Mr Ferrier said the document given to Tian was a provisional statement from the European Union on melamine.

- China: Melamine Milk Out, "Leather Milk" In Follow us on TWITTER: Become a Fan on FACEBOOK: on.fb.me China's milk industry devastated previously by melamine is hit hard again by the "leather milk." Official media claimed that Agriculture Ministry's sampling of fresh dairy products had found no problem. However, consumers' confidence couldn't be rebuilt. A media survey shows, nearly 70% respondents said they wouldn't consume domestically produced milk. The scandal wiped out China's milk product market. It has boosted the dairy market in Hong Kong and Macao. Except for the dairy product merchants, this is good news to none. The public panic stems from Agriculture Ministry's 2011 fresh dairy quality and safety inspection program, which requests to test melamine, "hydrolyzed leather protein," and alkalis. Afterwards, it was officially claimed that no prohibited substances had been found. The public is used to reading between the lines. A parent of a melamine-milk victim Jiang Yalin said, Agriculture Ministry started inspection, because there are likely many producers of 「leather milk.」 Ms. Jin from Shanghai revealed, one of her relatives works in a well-known dairy firm and their babies never have domestically produced milk powder.

- Building Custom Melamine COUNTER TOP for Work Bench / Work Station in the Work Shop part 3 Previous Vid p2 In this video I will build a new melamine counter top for the 12' long drawer work bench I installed in the previous video. It is a step by step build. I built this top in one day & the purpose was to bring the height up so I don't have to bend over when I'm working away on a project. I also wanted the top to flush out with the window & the top of the top to make contact on the metal casing you see that is all around the window opening (I put that stuff in a year ago) It was extra material I got off of a job site I worked on. Over all this new work station is looking great, it's very stout & with all those drawers I have plenty of storage for so many different tool's & supplies'. This custom 12' work bench will make a excellent addition to my work shop / wood shop. The next video I will add the side cap to the top& begin the process of refinishing the cabinet wood work.

- Melamine in the US ZHANG: Food safety expert Michael Hansen says the US Food and Drug Administration should have foreseen China's toxic milk reaching consumers in America. Sarah Matheson reports from New York. STORY: Since July, hundreds of thousands of children have become victims of Chinas milk adulteration scandal, putting US authorities on alert. The melamine-milk scandal has outraged parents in China, causing large-scale protests, bouts of lawsuits and widespread social unrest. Chinese manufacturers added melamine to infant formula, to make its protein content look higher when a simple test is applied. But melamine, a product normally used in the manufacture of plastic, has no nutritional value and is toxic when mixed with cyanuric acid. And now, foods and beverages containing melamine-adulterated milk products have been discovered in America. To protect infants in the US, the Food and Drug Administration has blocked all Chinese milk products, and tested 74 samples of infant formula. Two have come back positive for melamine. Consumers Union senior staff scientist Michael Hansen says 74 tests are not enough and that the FDA needs to be more thorough. [Michael Hansen, Consumers Union]: The action that the FDA has taken is they have tested 1500 food products, but with the infant formula we are very upset there because they are acting as if there is not too much of a problem. And they found two positives out of 74 samples. That is not a particularly low level. And in fact, if you look at ...
- The Melamine Story In 2007, pet food that was contaminated with melamine and related compounds made many pets sick. At first, no one knew what caused the problem. An intense and sophisticated search for the cause was begun. In many ways, the work done by scientists in government and the pet food industry was groundbreaking. In this video, Dr. Renate Reimschuessel of the Food and Drug Administration explains what it took to uncover and confirm the presence of the adulterants in pet food. [vpanimalveterinary]
- Melamine Suspected in China's Farm-Raised Fish Speaking of melamine, China is the world's largest producer of farm-raised seafood and exports billions of dollars worth every year. But now, according to a Los Angeles Times report, some scientists are warning that Chinese farmed fish may contain the toxic chemical melamine. For more news and videos visit ☛ Follow us on Twitter ☛ http Add us on Facebook ☛ on.fb.me The fish feed industry in China is not regulated, and for years some manufacturers have been adding melamine to the feed to make it look like it has more protein. And new research indicates fish that eat food contaminated with melamine may retain the toxin in their flesh. They don't excrete all of it like cows and pigs do. So people who eat the fish could be consuming the melamine that was originally in the fish's food. The US Food and Drug Administration does not require imported seafood to be tested for melamine, but many concerned fish importers are doing their own testing.

- More Melamine Fears ANCHOR: Both Thailand and Taiwan are checking imported milk cookies for melamine. This took place after Switzerland found traces of the chemical in the same product. STORY: The Food and Drug Administration took samples of flour, butter, milk and different kinds of cookies from bakery S&P to its laboratory yesterday. They expect results in 24 hours. [ Dr.Pipat Yingseri, Secretary-General, FDA]: "Our initial finding shows that the raw material of making cookies such as flour and milk are not coming from China. At the same time, we also collected those raw materials for further investigation." Thai newspapers report that Swiss authorities have removed the S&P milk cookies, as well as other products from China and Sri Lanka, after tests showed they were tainted by melamine. Products made with tainted Chinese milk have been pulled from shelves worldwide in a widening health scandal. Toxic milk powder in China, where at least four children have died and tens of thousands fallen ill, has prompted Taiwan to ban dairy products from China. The compound is often added to cheat nutrition tests.

Investment Brief: First Round of French Election Eases Market Fears
Anti-globalist and anti-establishment sentiment continues to add to political and capital market uncertainty. After Brexit and the U.S. presidential election, the world is closely watching the French presidential election, as it is considered to be the defining moment for the future of the European Union (EU) and the Euro as a single currency. Investors are particularly concerned with the popularity of Anti-EU far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, who promised to put a referendum in place triggering France to leave the European Union. Eleven candidates, with views ranging from the far-right to the far-left, promised policies that would directly affect European Markets, making this election of interest well beyond France.
As the first round of the presidential election concluded on Sunday, capital markets cheered as Pro-EU centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron advanced as the favorite in a run-off over nationalist Marine Le Pen. Macron won the first round with 23.8% of the vote, ahead of Le Pen at 21.5%. Presidential elections in France employ a two-round system; if no candidate achieves more than 50% of the total vote in the first round, then the two candidates with the most votes face-off in round two. The second-round of France's election will take place on May 7, and the latest polls show Macron winning with 62%of the vote (with Le Pen at 38%). Many feared that if Le Pen advanced with the majority of votes the market shock would spark a European stock sell-off similar to the shock after Brexit.
The results of this weekend's vote and Macron's increasing poll numbers sparked a risk-on environment in equity markets globally. Since Monday morning, the European stock market surged to a 17-month high. Bank shares were the biggest winners, as they would have been the most vulnerable in the event of a Le Pen victory. Domestic equity markets rallied as well, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising by 200 points early on Monday, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1%, putting the index on track for a new record. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), a measure of anticipated stock market volatility, sometimes referred to as the "fear gauge," fell 23%. The Euro also climbed, compared to the U.S. Dollar, while safe haven instruments such as gold and Treasuries fell.

25 Oct LA – Day 4
Day 4, and my search for a reasonable cup of coffee in America continues. After I was here the last time I sought advice from the guys at Nude Espresso. They're based on Hanbury St right around the corner from my studio and I think they possibly do the best coffee in London. They're one of the leading lights in the 3rd generation of coffee shops in London, taking a more boutique and specialized approach to coffee after the years of caffeine rape by the unmentionable high-street chain cafes (I take this shit seriously).
Anyway, when I got back from the Eurotrash show in June, Sasha at Nude recommended I check out Intellegentsia Coffee and that I did.
We reached their Venice spot on Abbott Kinney with a short que in front of us. The coffee didn't disappoint.
They also recently collaborated with Madlib to develop his own blend of espresso.
And on to the beach for a lil nature before the show opens.
There's always going to be food involved.
Opening time. Get your game-face on.

Ready to face a New Year of business, braced for all the challenges the marketplace, the economy, new technology and fateful caprice will invariably throw at you?
Neither am I.
But, like the Nike commercial philosophizes, sometimes you gotta pull yourself up by the boot straps and "Just Do It." (What I'd like to know is, who still wears boot straps..?)
Welcome to the inaugural entry for 2010's Not Your Usual Marketing Tips from JDK Marketing Communications Management.
...And my annual revival, with some modifications, of proposed resolutions for the New Year:
There's a great scene in an old "Seinfeld" episode where Jerry has apparently telephoned reservations for a car rental. Except that when he gets there to pick up the car, he's told there are none to be had. The woman at the counter explains that, for whatever bureaucratic reason, his rental was released to someone else. In his customary exasperated manner, Jerry "educates" her with the admonition that although it is their business to MAKE the reservation…they also have to be able to HOLD the reservation..!
It's January of a New Year. From a marketing standpoint, presuming you've MADE your New Year's resolutions, are you planning to actually HOLD them?
Here are 12 Resolutions, one for each month (in no particular order):
* Guerilla Marketing: Think outside the box for ways to promote yourself. There are rules…and sometimes there are no rules.
* Networking: Do more, by joining more…business networking groups, associations, fraternal organizations, fellow hobbyists, etc. That means joining the social media milieu, as well...i.e. Facebook, Twitter, et al.
* Publicity: Toot your own horn; no one else knows your "key" as you do.
* Positioning: All things being equal…what makes you "more" equal than others?
* Seminars: You think you know it all? Heck, maybe you do – at least as far as certain audiences are concerned, and the new business opportunities they might provide for you.
* Newsletters: Share your ideas, broaden your constituency; send out industry-relevant information either as hard copy…or as an e-zine (such as what you're presently reading).
* Trade Shows: Go to them, be in them, mingle within them, write a program article for them.
* Event Marketing: Sponsor a cause, have an Open House; it's good P.R. by "humanizing" your business.
* The Newspaper: Remember that old-fashioned concept? For business ideas, for client contact opportunities, simply to stay topical, don't just rely on the 11:00 PM news. Read the newspaper.
* Greeting Cards: It doesn't have to be Christmas to send them. Stay top of mind year-round, with Valentine's Day, July 4th, Arbor Day – whatever! – as an excuse.
* Postcards: Along with greeting cards, post cards are a fast, convenient, economical way to let people know about your business (think Realtors, Financial Advisors…).
* JDK Marketing Communications Management: Yeah, I know, I "fudged" on this last one. But how else are you going to be able to effectively take care of the previous 11 resolutions…without first resolving to contact yours truly?
Did I mention re-tooling your website, if necessary? Mine was necessary...and so I'm pleased to announce my newly revamped and updated site. Come visit:
Thanks go to graphic designer Tim Faragher, now flexing his muscles in the web world: firstname.lastname@example.com
Have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2010. And we'll see you again the first Tuesday of next month with another edition of Not Your Usual Marketing Tips.

Bookbinders triumph at National Library
Bookbinders from Spain and the Netherlands have triumphed in one of the book industry's most prestigious design competitions, organised by the National Library of Scotland.
The Elizabeth Soutar Bookbinding Competition is now in its 20th year and attracts binders from all over Europe. It aims to encourage the practice and development of both creative and craft binding skills which display individual expression and originality.
The winners of the 2012 awards were announced on Tuesday 5 February. They are:
- Best Craft Binding — Juan Antonio Fernandez Argenta, Spain
- Best Creative Binding — Pilar Calahorra, Spain
- Best Creative Binding, student award — Raul Garcia de Madinabeitia, Spain
- Best Craft Binding, student award — Annie van Bruggen-Mevissen, Netherlands.
A prize of £1,200 went to the main award winners, while the student award winners received £600. The winning bindings will be on public display in the exhibition area of NLS at George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, until 26 February.
The NLS Deputy Librarian, Darryl Mead, who helped to judge the competition, said: 'It is a great privilege for the National Library of Scotland to host this competition which attracts interest from all over Europe. The craft of bookbinding dates from the 15th century, when printed books first started to appear, but this competition demonstrates that the skills are still very much alive today.'
