Christopher Maloney became something of a household name two years ago, as a finalist in the 2012 series of The X Factor.
Controversy surrounded his departure from the show, when he was the third-placed contestant - only just failing to reach the very end of the show in a two-part final.
Over night, after he was voted out, national newspapers reported he had had a drunken meltdown backstage and walked out of rehearsals for the final night's group performances.
This weekend, as the show's class of 2014 prepare their own final songs, he will be taking to the stage at the Marine Hall, playing Prince Charming in pantomime Cinderella - a character perhaps a little at odds to the persona created by the tabloids?
And he admits the closing stages of the contest were a difficult time.
"It was tough, towards the end but I do look back in it fondly now," he said.
"It was more media persecution than anything else, which isn't fair. The big tabloids don't care whether it's lies or not - and you can't stop them doing that.
"But I'm glad to see Mel B on the show and Cheryl back. Tulisa should remember where she came from in the beginning rather than making a couple of million and forgetting - but it's come back to her now," he added, in reference to the ex-NDubz star's recent court case.
The former call centre worker has been keeping track on this year's show, and will be straight onto catch-up TV after Saturday night's performance to watch the final of the ITV talent show.
"I am looking forward to seeing the final," he said. "Although it's going to be really weird as I sing What A Feeling in the pantomime, which was one of my songs in the X Factor final - exactly two years ago to the night, when I'll be singing in Fleetwood.
"That's pretty surreal.
"My three favourites through the series have been Andrea, Fleur East and Lauren, and I think the winner, undoubtedly, will be Fleur. Andrea has been brilliant, but he gave too much right from the beginning, so there's no surprise later on in the series. We all know he's going to sing big power ballads, really well."
Christopher and the rest of the cast spent last weekend performing in his home city of Liverpool - as a 'warm up, dress rehearsal' for Fleetwood.
"It was fabulous in Liverpool," he said. "The crowd has been brilliant.
"It's the first time I've done panto in Liverpool, usually I've been in other parts of the country, so I had lots of friends and family in. They saw me last year in panto too, and said it's a much better show this time.
"We're looking forward to bringing the show to Fleetwood now, I can't wait. I've performed at Pride and for the Christmas lights in Blackpool, but this is the first full show I will have done in that area."
And he revealed he's expecting to be back in town in 2015, with a show at North Pier during Easter and dates lined up for a one-man tour too, working with Joe Longthorne's manager Jamie Moran and musical director Andy Mudd - look out for details in the new year.

Football Federation Australia has fined the Western Sydney Wanderers $50,000 and imposed a suspended three competition point deduction after some of their supporters let off flares and detonators during Saturday night's 1-1 draw with Melbourne Victory at Etihad Stadium.
The flashpoint halted play as smoke cleared from the ground.
"The events of last Saturday night and the coordinated misconduct of a section of Western Sydney Wanderers fans cannot be tolerated by anyone in Australian football," said FFA CEO David Gallop.
"The misconduct was not only dangerous and threatening but the coordinated and calculated way the fans behaved was a serious blight on the reputation of football and everyone involved in our game including clubs, members, fans, players and officials.
"The sanctions have been set taking into consideration the seriousness of the incidents but a clear commitment both publicly and through its submission that the Wanderers will take responsibility for implementing a clear strategy to identify and exclude these individuals.
"The Western Sydney Wanderers and the vast majority of Wanderers fans have expressed their disdain at the behaviour of the perpetrators on Saturday night and must now work together to rid their club of these troublemakers who threaten the huge support the club has brought to the competition. While the club has put a number of measures in place it goes without saying that more needs to be done.
"The timing of the incident was frustrating for everyone who has been working collectively on a new banning process to deal with the type of behaviour that was on show last Saturday night."
More to come.

Quentin Tarantino shows a lot of gun play and and a lot of attitude in the first trailer for his epic western "Django Unchained." Leonardo DiCaprio plays the sleazy plantation owner and Jamie Foxx mixes it up as Django.
"Yes, the 'D' is silent," the ex-slave says, downing a whiskey.
Tarantino pays homage to the Italian spaghetti westerns of the 1960s. But the film is nothing like the 1966 Italian western by the same name.
The good guys are easy to tell from the bad guys, if you can call a German bounty hunter a good guy. The role goes to Christoph Waltz, as Dr. King Schultz.
Jamie Fox gets all the action scenes as the trailer walks viewers through the movie's premise. He's a total bad ass.
Schultz captures Django because he can identify the notorious Brittle brothers, Django's old owners. Both have big bounties on their heads, dead or alive.
Schultz promises to free the slave and help him get back his wife in exchange for his help. One problem; his wife is owned by DiCaprio's plantation owner, Calvin Candie, a neer-do-well Rhett Butler type.
The 1966 Italian version of Django was one of the bloodiest films of the genre ever made. Tarantino may be out to break that record.
The Weinstein Co. film will hit theaters on Christmas Day. Check out the trailer below.

Banket is one of my favorite pastries for Christmas, or anytime!
With my Dutch heritage, it is especially dear to my heart, and my pleasure to share it with you. Although not as delectable as homemade, banket can sometimes be found in pastry shops/bakeries as one nears Holland, MI, about one hour from where I live. -LuAnn
These headnotes are from the blog, My Sister's Kitchen. I love the way the blogger introduces banket, a traditional Dutch pastry. "If you were to ask any of my family, nuclear or extended, what is THE most important family heirloom recipe, I think almost everybody would answer that its Banket. (Pronounced bahn-KET.) In my house, it is not Christmas until weve made Banket. Banket is a traditional Dutch pastry (have Barb and I mentioned that we are 100% Dutch? Our grandparents came over from Holland!) that is made in long tubes of pastry, with an almond paste filling. Some people shape the tubes into lettersinto Merry Christmas, for example. We just do long skinny baguettes. It is unbelievably delicious, and any time I have served it to non-Dutch people, they have just about died from the deliciousness. (Now THEREs a news headline for youWoman dies after sampling exquisite pastry, autopsy shows pleasure overload.) Anyway, this is a wonderful thing, and is totally worth the very involved and time-consuming preparation."
Thankfully, this recipe, which I clipped from an "ancient" (30+ years) Ladies Home Journal magazine, has simplified the old world procedure by using a food processor to prepare both the pastry and the almond filling.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups butter, very cold
1/2 cup ice water
1/2 pound almond paste*
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 large eggs, beaten
1 large egg white, unbeaten
*See Parting Shots
(Pastry can be made without food processor. Do as you would for any pie pastry).
Measure flour into bowl of food processor fitted with steel blade.
Add salt and baking powder.
Turn on and off once to mix.
Cut butter into 1/2-inch pieces, drop into processor and turn on and off rapidly 3 or 4 times until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water and turn on for 2 or 3 seconds, or until dough leaves sides of bowl.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface.
With heel of your hand, rapidly smear the dough, a small portion at a time, 6 to 8 inches out in front of you. (This ensures complete blending of butter into dough).
Form dough into ball.
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
(Can also be made using mixer).
Fit food processor with steel blade.
Break almond paste into small pieces and put in work bowl.
Process 3 or 4 times.
Add sugar and process for about 5 seconds.
Add beaten eggs and process until well blended, 5 to 10 seconds.
To assemble and bake:
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Divide pastry into 5 equal pieces. (LuAnn notes, I divide pastry into four pieces).
Roll each into 12 x 4-inch rectangle. (LuAnn notes, I roll into 12 x 5 or 6 inch rectangle).
Drop filling by teaspoonfuls lengthwise onto middle of dough, leaving 1/2 inch at each end.
Fold one long side of dough over filling; fold other side over and seal edges with ice water.
Place rolls, seamside down, on ungreased cookie sheets. (LuAnn suggests lining sheets with parchment paper).
Prick tops with fork at 1/2-inch (or 1-inch) intervals.
Brush with egg white.
Bake 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown.
Cool on wire racks.
Cut into slices; serve warm. (Or store cooled pastry in an airtight container).
Makes five (or in my case, 4) 12-inch rolls.

Although not planned that way, music by Leonard Bernstein and Samuel Barber occupies a prominent place in concerts given by both the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra this week in Chicago. The coincidence makes the point that each composer was virtually a subversive force at a time when their tonal, melodic music served as a counterweight to the atonal school that dominated postwar American composition.
The splendid chamber music collective from Lincoln Center began its seventh season of residency at the Harris Theater on Tuesday night with selections from Barber's "Souvenirs" (for piano four hands) and Bernstein's "Arias and Barcarolles," a nine-part song cycle that uses the same instrumentation (voices and piano four hands) Brahms employed in his "Liebeslieder Walzer," aptly chosen to anchor the second half of the concert. It made for an enjoyable evening of vocal chamber music in which sweetness and charm not only set the tone but also were the tone.
"Arias and Barcarolles" (1988) was Bernstein's final completed composition, an eight-part song cycle for voices and piano four hands based on texts primarily his own. It's a wonderfully engaging grab bag of a piece, by turns amusing and touching, reveling in witty wordplay. The version for mezzo-soprano and baritone voices was used, and it found sympathetic performers in the charismatic Tamara Mumford (a velvet-voiced discovery) and the vocally sturdy Nathan Gunn, with pianists Anne-Marie McDermott and Sebastian Knauer firmly tending to keyboard parts that are often no mere accompaniment.
Gunn gallantly substituted in miscellaneous Copland and Ives songs for his colleague Susanna Phillips so as to allow her more time to rest, it was explained, because she is in a late stage of pregnancy. His smooth baritone was heard at its best in pieces awash in nostalgic sentiment, such as Ives' "An Old Flame" and Copland's "Long Time Ago."
But the most compelling singing of the concert came from tenor Nicholas Phan, who nailed a group of Robert Schumann songs (including an impassioned "Widmung") with the same lieder singer's close regard for how German poetry and music combine to convey heightened emotional states that marks the song recitals he gives as part of the annual Collaborative Works festivals here.
Phan then joined Phillips, Mumford, Gunn and the hardworking piano duo for Brahms' Opus 52 "Liebeslieder Walzer" ("Love-Song Waltzes"). These waltzes and dance songs, set to quaint folkish texts, are utterly charming in their interweaving of voices and piano, tinged with Viennese nostalgia. I've heard better-blended vocal ensembles (the inner voices dominated this reading), but, overall, the performers invested the cycle with such tender feeling (but never at the expense of urgency) as to make these 18 vignettes feel absolutely of a piece.
Three dances from Barber's "Souvenirs," played with infectious spirit by McDermott and Knauer, completed a winning program.
The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center season at the Harris Theater will continue with concerts Dec. 20, Jan. 17, Feb. 28 and May 7; 312-334-7777, www.harristheaterchicago.org.
Bella Voce's Monteverdi 'Vespers'
Conductor John Eliot Gardiner's touring cycle of the three extant operas of Claudio Monteverdi, which concluded Oct. 15 at the Harris Theater, was a magnificent achievement, an artistic feat not likely to be surpassed in our lifetime.
Even so, there's always room for more Monteverdi, especially in this, the composer's 450th anniversary year. Bella Voce was only too happy to oblige with its weekend performances of Monteverdi's sacred masterpiece, the 1610 "Vespers of the Blessed Virgin," of which I caught the first, Saturday night in Madonna della Strada Chapel at Loyola University Chicago.
I found it to be consistent in quality and style with the Monteverdi "Vespers" artistic director Andrew Lewis led with his chamber choir and the Callipygian Players seven years ago. Solo voices, his 22-voice chorus and the 14 period instrumentalists produced a reading of exultant spirituality in which historically informed scholarship and lively re-creative intelligence came together on an intimate scale.
The drawback was the chapel's swimmy acoustics, not the ideal sonic environment for a work where maintaining sharply defined vocal-instrumental textures is essential. The motets, instrumental sonata and smaller Psalm settings suffered less in this regard, but the reverberation reduced the bigger choral sections to a round blur and tended to smooth out dynamic contrasts.
And that was a shame, because Bella Voce (arrayed in ever-shifting configurations across the visually handsome chancel) sang with exceptional musicality, expressivity and fervor, with solo vocal contributions and instrumental work to match.
Matthew Dean brought a strong, pure tenor to his "Nigra sum" and the sublime "Duo Seraphim" trio with tenors Oliver Camacho and Micah Dingler, both of whom sang beautifully in their "Audi coelum" duet as well. One could hardly imagine a more ravishing blend than what Kirsten Hedegaard and Julia Davids delivered for their concerto "Pulchra es."
Duo violinists Martin Davids and Aislinn Nosky headed a committed instrumental roster that included such seasoned continuo players as Anna Steinhoff on cello, David Walker on theorbo and Jason Moy on organ. A couple of precipitous tempos (the "Nisi Dominus" seemed to have everybody hanging on for dear life) may have been responsible for a few bloopers and smudged passages from the two musicians valiantly striving to make their treacherous cornetti play in time and in tune.

Joey Logano – Underdog Becomes NASCAR Cup Series Champion
By Kent Whitaker
For much of the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season it was assumed by many that one of the drivers nicknamed the "Big Three" would win the Championship. Instead, the fourth driver on the list, Joey Logano, claimed the title by winning the final race of the season at Homestead / Miami Speedway. Logano powered his way to the front during the closing laps of the Ford EcoBoost 400 to win the race and the Championship, while putting the "Big Three", Martin Truex Jr, Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch, in his rear-view mirror.
Logano, driver of the No. 22 Ford for Team Penske, started his full-time NASCAR career in the shadow of a former Cup Series Champion. When Tony Stewart left Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) to start his own team, it was Logano who was brought up from the NASCAR Xfinity Series to fill the vacant seat in 2009.
Logano, who had raced a handful of Cup Series event in 2008, gained the nicknamed sliced bread - because he won so much as a youngster in lower series. That success did not carry over to the Cup Series at JGR. Logano learned the ropes of Cup Series driving, captured a few wins, and became the youngest winner in Cup Series history by winning the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2009.
At the time he was 19 years, 35 days old. Kyle Busch, the previous youngest winner, was 20 years, 125 days old, in 2005 when he set the record. With only two wins over four seasons with Gibbs it was announced that Matt Kenseth would take over the No. 20 ride. Logano found a home at Team Penske where he would pilot the No. 22 Ford having driven Toyota's for the entirety of his Cup Season career.
Underdog Wins
Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr were called "the Big Three" by NASCAR media and fans during the 2018 season. And, there's god reason for this. The three drivers won most of the races run during the season. Harvick and Busch both won 8 races on record while Truex, the 2017 defending Cup Series Champion, captured 4 checkered flags. Harvick also won two additional races during the season that were disallowed due to rules infractions during post-race inspection.
When the numbers are crunched, you'll find that Logano only had 2 wins entering the final race of the season. But he placed well enough during the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs to survive each elimination round which started with sixteen drivers. As each round ended, four drivers were cut from eligibility. Logano scored enough playoff point to keep moving forward. Logano won the final elimination race allowing him to advance with the "Big Three" to the Championship event at Homestead.
While many may have considered Logano the underdog going into the Championship race, as many oddsmakers did, the driver of the No. 22 Ford for Team Penske constantly referred to himself as the "favorite" to win. In an interview prior to the race Logano stated "I think we're the favorite to win (the Championship) now." It was a theme he repeated over the course of the race weekend. And, he was right.
The underdog who proclaimed himself as the favorite made several dominating moves during the closing laps of the race which included several restarts. Logano passed the three former Cup Series Champions labeled as "Big Three" for the checkered flag. Joey Logano became the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series Champion with Truex finishing the race, and season, in second, Harvick in third and Kyle Busch in fourth. It was the first time since the start of the NASCAR "playoff" format that all four Championship eligible drivers finished in the top-four positions.

The Dip harkens back to the deep soul roots of decades past while sounding undeniably relevant. The band's 2015 self-titled debut, recorded to tape at Avast! Studios, propelled them to notable appearances at Sasquatch! Music Festival, High Sierra Music Fest, Summer Meltdown, Bumbershoot, and Capitol Hill Block Party and built anticipation for their 2016 release, Won't Be Coming Back (EP).
Now, the band prepares to arrive on the national stage with their second LP, The Dip Delivers. The ten-song collection is filled with juxtapositions – vintage rhythm-and-blues combines with classic pop storytelling for an album that is simultaneously raw and polished. At the core, it's dancing music.

Some hedge funds employ similar methodologies to managed accounts.
For example, if a hedge fund specializes in trading forex or foreign currencies utilizing a counter-trend, short term methodology, it might perform similarly than or be highly correlated to an FX managed account with the same strategy.
So how are hedge funds and their managed cousins different then? In notable ways. Here are two: transparency and manager access to customer funds.
Transparency: Fund vs Managed
Managed accounts are more transparent than their fund counterparts. Under a managed structure, the investor has direct access to his account. This is provided by the brokerage firm the investor opens the account with, which allows the investor to see the positions and transactions in his account or the profit and loss from each transaction.
The hedge fund, on the other hand, performs its own internal accounting via an external company called a fund "administrator." The administrator provides investors their account statements either on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on how frequently the fund's net profit or loss is calculated and the fees assessed.
Portfolio Manager Access to Funds
In a managed account program, investors open their own accounts with a regulated brokerage firm, so the manager does not receive deposits/withdrawals directly from customers. He only has limited authority to make trading decisions (buy/sell) in the customers' accounts. This structure provides a higher level of safety of funds for customers relative to hedge funds, which can receive customer monies directly. Some hedge funds have led to investor losses due to fraud, like the multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme orchestrated by the ex-Chairman of the NASDAQ (National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations system), Bernie Madoff, brought to light in late 2008.
Despite this major difference, more and more hedge funds are using well known fund administrators as a "second signer" in customer accounts. This means that the fund manager needs to get a "sign off" from the administrator before making a withdrawal or transfer from the fund's account. This gives investors the peace of mind that the fund manager won't run off with their money.

Settlement talks in the lawsuit filed by Compuware Corp. against IBM Corp. have stalled as the sides prepare for a four-week trial that starts Feb. 15 and already has cost Compuware about $85 million.
Senior Vice President and General Counsel Tom Costello Jr. said Compuware still hopes for a settlement, though no meetings were scheduled as of Thursday.
Compuware (Nasdaq: CPWR) filed suit in U.S. District Court in Detroit against IBM (NYSE: IBM) on March 12, 2002. Compuware's claims against IBM include copyright infringement and theft of Compuware trade secrets in violation of antitrust laws.
The company is seeking damages and a permanent injunction against what Costello called "anticompetitive practices."
IBM filed six counterclaims. Scott Cook, IBM media-relations manager, Midwestern region, said the company doesn't comment on pending litigation.
On Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge George Caram Steeh ruled on a motion filed by attorneys for IBM in which they sought to have Steeh dismiss Compuware's claims of tying, unfair competition, attempted monopolization and monopoly leveraging.
Steeh dismissed the claims of attempted monopolization and monopoly leveraging but let the others stand.
Since June 2003, the sides have had five settlement meetings, Costello said. Three have been in the past 90 days, including one about two weeks ago. Costello declined to specify sticking points.
At the same time, attorneys have been preparing for trial.
More than 100 million documents have been produced and hundreds of people have given depositions, Costello said. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for today.
David Rudow, senior research analyst at Minneapolis-based investment firm Piper Jaffray & Co., said he wants to see the case done.
"I would like to see the company stop spending legal expenses on it," Rudow said.
Compuware Chairman Peter Karmanos Jr. said Jan. 25 that he expects the suit to be behind the company by this time next year. "At the very least, I expect this will result in at least $20 million to $40 million less in annual legal fees."

No, not ISIS.
Not even Donald Trump.
One of the real threats to democracy in this country today is money.
Consider this:
You were excited about one of this year's presidential candidates. Maybe it was Bernie Sanders. Maybe it was Marco Rubio or Carly Fiorina or Chris Christie. Maybe, like The Curmudgeon, you wanted to see more of Martin O'Malley.
Maybe you even liked Poor Bobby Jindal.
So you decided to contribute to your candidate's campaign. Nothing big: maybe fifty dollars, maybe a hundred.
And it felt good, like you were participating in democracy in a whole new way, a way beyond simply casting your vote. Maybe your contribution, even though it's modest, would help make a difference.
Well, think again.
Our small contributions are barely even felt, as this explanation from a Washington Monthly book review explains:
In 2012, according to the public policy think tank Demos, 159 donors accounted for nearly 60 percent of all Super PAC funding, and about 93 percent came from 3,318 donors—about one-thousandth of 1 percent of the population. The cap on direct campaign contributions, currently $2,700 per candidate, survived Citizens United, but that money, too, comes overwhelmingly from the rich: the donors who gave more than $200 to federal candidates in 2012 represented just 0.4 percent of the population but accounted for 64 percent of campaign donations from individuals. Not many people have a spare $2,700 lying around to give to politicians.
Is it any wonder that the concerns of working people are such a low priority among those we elect to public office?

Auto Donation
Donate My CarWritten by Rylee Newton
Car donation programs are a great way to contribute to the charity of your choice. As the worldwide AIDS crisis reaches a new high, more people are looking for creative ways to help out. By getting rid of a car that doesn't run or isn't selling, you can help entire countries while getting a nifty tax benefit for yourself.
Groups that work with AIDs victims often accept used vehicles such boats, cars, trucks and RVs, and sell them for cash. Your vehicle doesn't even have to be in great condition to donate it to this cause, and many others like it. As long as there is some value in your vehicle, you can donate it to help raise money to help those who suffer from this tragic disease.
Supporting Your Favorite Charity
One of the most beneficial ways to give is to donate to an organization that works in Africa and Asia, where the spread of the disease is reaching devastating proportions. In some areas of Africa (sub-Saharan African has been hit the hardest), it is estimated that three out of four men will contract AIDS in their lifetimes. Some charities focus on education, others on AIDS orphans, others on treatment, and some focus on all aspects of the epidemic.
While AIDS is a cause that is close to the hearts of many, there are many other car donation programs in the United States. No matter if you want to help fund medical research, provide food and shelter for the homeless, or sponsor activities in your local community, you can find a charitable organization that can use your vehicle. If you want to write-off your donation, it's important to find a charitable organization that is classified by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization.

We review the Mercedes B-Class from price to economy and all its features
MERCEDES boss Dr Dieter Zetsche has set a target of 2016 to become the world's No1 premium car seller.
In an exclusive interview as he drove me in the new B-Class, he spoke about the firm's plans, including Smart.
Merc sales are up 7.6 per cent this year and heading for a record in excess of 919,288, but they still fall short of rivals BMW and Audi who are on course for 1.6million and 1.3million this year.
Zetsche also revealed that the B-Class is the first of a new generation of compact cars, including the new A-Class, which he believes will take them past their rivals.
He said: "Over the next five years we will have five more compact models and add ten more models to the range, taking it to 31 in total.
"But the biggest driver will be our new compact models because they will be our mainstream cars for the masses. This B-Class is the first of them. It will be a long relationship for us with compact cars."
Dr Zetsche assured buyers of executive Mercs they had plenty to look forward to.
He said: "Mercedes will still maintain its executive DNA of luxury with the S-Class, E and C-Class and CLS. But our new compact range will appeal to a younger audience."
The plan is for supercars and 4x4s to remain in the Mercedes line-up despite the demand to reduce emissions and costs. "We don't believe this will change for another 20 years," he said.
Dr Zetsche also confirmed that Smart remains the vital cog in the Mercedes city car portfolio, despite sales falling badly in America.
"We are totally confident in the Smart brand and the role it has to play. The city car solution for us is Smart.

Meaty SUV that turns headsWe review the Mercedes GLE 350 from price to economy and all its features
Lamborghini performance for lessWe review the Audi R8 V10 Plus from price to economy and all its features
"In the US the electric Smart will be a big part of the future. In Germany, Smart will sell more than the Mini this year, which underlines its importance."
There is no doubt Dr Zetsche and Merecedes are putting their faith in a younger audience to cement their future.
THE new B-Class could turn out to be the most important car Mercedes have ever built.
It's not just a compact MPV aimed at the Ford C-Max market, but it uses the body platform and parts for the next A-Class and three other vital small cars.
In the current model, the B is for bland. Although not a bad car, it is not very stylish, lacks quality and isn't much fun to drive.
The B in the new models stands for Bang-on. The roofline is 5cm lower and it's wider, making it look sportier.
The familiar two-bar grille and bold star badge dominate the front, while the profile is sculpted by two crisp crease lines and four 18in charcoal and black alloy wheels.
But the acid test for any people carrier is space and practicality and the B-Class is impressive, with room in the back for three adults.
It's also versatile if you opt for the £600 Easy Vario Package that allows you to slide the rear seat back and forth by up to 14cm for more legroom or boot space — from 488 to 666 litres.
You can also flatten the front passenger seat for awkward loads.
But unlike the current model you can't fold the rear bench completely flat.
There has been a big improvement in quality materials throughout – all the trim feels expensive and the dash gets SLS AMG-style air vents and steering wheel.
There's a choice of petrol and diesel turbo engines in different power levels. I drove the fastest 1.8litre diesel with a new seven-speed dual clutch with paddle shifts on the steering wheel.
There is some diesel clatter at low speeds but it is smooth and responsive, offering 0-62mph in nine seconds.
A stop/start system boosts economy to 64mpg and emissions are down to 115g/km.
There is hardly any body roll on corners and tons of grip and even driving hard you feel comfortable.
A very impressive people carrier.
On sale in February, prices start at £21,290 for the B180SE, compared with £17,195 for the cheapest Ford C-Max.
The cheapest and most economical diesel, the B180, costs £22,060 and the range-topping B200 rises to £24,710.
But kit such as satnav (£495), the seven-speed automatic (£1,450) and 3G internet (£1,995) push the cost up.
So the B-Class isn't cheap – but it is a proper Mercedes.

Ireland, We Love You
By Sarah Staelgraeve
Reporting live from Ireland for the last time. Tomorrow we take off bright and early to Wales, our next destination. Looking back on our days in Ireland, I feel extremely blessed. This is the first location I traveled to overseas, and it will always have a special place in my heart.
We began our last full day at Trinity College. The campus was simply stunning and for the most part hasn't changed since it was built in the 1600's. The school has around 18,000 students. MSU is more than twice the size as Trinity and it is hard for us Spartans to relate to them size wise. It also seems much more common for students to stay at home rather than live on or close to campus and this is very different than a typical student at MSU. I didn't feel as though I was walking around a college campus. The walls enclosed around us and a lot of the ground was paved with cobblestone. The buildings were old, but very elegant.
a look at the Trinity College website
After we explored the campus, we walked around in some stores and ate at a place near the college. The sun was out all day and we enjoyed every second of our last day exploring Dublin. Eventually, we got tired and decided to head back to our hostel. What happened on our walk home is something that we would never have seen in East Lansing! A crowd of about 200 people were standing around a crazed man on a 10 foot tall tricycle. He called one of the girls out in our study abroad group to throw knives up to him. It was hysterical and a great way to end our wild adventures in Dublin. I am ecstatic to have been able to enjoy this wonderful country and hope to return one day in the future.

Drinks, Topicals and Edibles
At Dixie, we believe that cannabis is powerful, that quality is important and that accurate dosing is everything. Which is why, since 2010, we've been leading the industry through research, education and advocacy. And we've established ourselves as the trusted source for innovative, safe, effective and delicious cannabis products along the way.
We handcraft every product with pure-extracted THC and a process we're proud of. We go far above and beyond the mandated batch testing and triple lab test every product we sell. Because when it comes to cannabis, consistency and accuracy are highly important. At Dixie, we're a lot more than the producers of THC-infused products. We are the future of cannabis.
LOVE the Dixie Elixirs. 500mg Orange milk chocolate went great with my first medicated root beer float made with Dixie Elixir's 100mg root beer. Also, try the berry lemonade. It's lightly carbonated. It's heavily amazing.Burtz61 - YELP

Ending Sequence
In the final scene of the show, Mrs. Givings brings Dr. Givings out into the garden in the middle of a cold winter night. This is part of her plan to ignite passion into her husband who neglects her with this clinical practice. Wanting this final moment to be tender and magical, I brought the audience into the garden with them, as well as used the famous, "Gymnopedia" by Erik Satie to underscore the tender-ness of the scene. As they begin to create their snow-angels and open up to each other the music swells into blackout, ending the play.
Tableau Transition - Act 1, Scene 2
By the end of the first scene, we are in the midst of a rainstorm as the audience begins to see the neglect and loneliness of Catherine Givings. To help convey the melancholic tone of her thoughts, I used, "Six Gnossiennes, No 2," by Erik Satie as a couple thunder claps take us into our first tableau transition.
Tableau Transition - Act 2, Scene 2
As the tension between Catherine and Dr. Givings escalates in the latter half of the play, Catherine in frustration storms out of the room leaving us in a somber mood. Offstage we hear the door slam, as "Gnossiennes, No.4," by Erik Satie fills the air while Dr. Givings locks himself into his office. The music shifts to a brighter tone with, "Fantaisie-Valse" and birds singing as it's next morning and everyone enters the room for a new day.
The Vibrators
The interesting part about the design process of this production was the vibrators themselves. I discovered the Good Vibrations Antique Vibrators Museum, where I learned the original sound of Victorian vibrators would be too obnoxious for our show. Instead, I took inspiration from the 2011 film, Hysteria, in which they used various electrical motor sounds to replicate them. The first one is a jigsaw motor, the second a sewing machine, and the third an electric toothbrush. You will hear them being turned on as well as when they are applied to the patient.

The authors of the study say evidence on the safety of anti-epileptic drugs is limited and that more research is needed to ensure women and their doctors make the best choices.
Studies on animals and children born to women with epilepsy increasingly suggest that some anti-epileptic medications affect development in the womb. However, most women with epilepsy rely on these medications to control seizures during pregnancy.
To assess the safety of taking anti-epileptics during pregnancy, the researchers drew together evidence from 28 studies. They measured children's global cognitive ability using either intelligence quotient (IQ), for school-aged children, or developmental quotient (DQ), for younger children, to provide a summary of development across a range of cognitive skills. The researchers looked at DQ and IQ scores in the children of three groups of women: those with epilepsy who took anti-epilepsy medication, those with epilepsy who did not take epilepsy medication and those without epilepsy.
The children of women who took one drug, sodium valproate, had lower DQs and IQs than the children of women in the other groups. Higher doses of this drug were linked to larger effects on IQ or DQ. However another drug, carbamazepine, did not appear to have any significant effects on DQ or IQ.
Younger children born to women who took carbamazepine did have lower DQs but the researchers concluded this was due to random variation between studies.
"This review highlights the need for preconception counselling in women with epilepsy," said Dr Rebecca Bromley, lead researcher of the study based at the Institute of Human Development at The University of Manchester. "Counselling should take account of the fact that many pregnancies are unplanned and cover the risks of anti-epileptic drugs, whilst considering how well they control epileptic seizures."
Some studies made comparisons between different drugs. The children of women who took valproate had lower IQs than those of women who took carbamazepine or lamotrigine, and lower DQs and IQs than those of women who took phenytoin. There were no differences between the IQs of children exposed to either carbamazepine, phenytoin or lamotrigine.
Only a few studies analysed the effects of newer anti-epileptic drugs like lamotrigine, levetiracetam and topiramate. "Data was not available for all anti-epileptic drugs that are in use today and data on newer anti-epileptic drugs was especially scarce," said Dr Bromley. "This makes it difficult for women and their doctors to know which medications are safe to use during childbearing years. Future research needs to be carried out in a timelier manner to ensure that when prescribing decisions are being made the risks are already established.
"Women should, however, not stop or make alterations to their medication without first seeking medical advice."

Sobriety Sunday
Have I told you guys about my Sunday meeting? It is amazing. The women are wonderful, and like my Thursday meeting we are very close. I wish that for everyone. When I think back to my first year, I didn't have that...it was tuff, and lonely. So if your beginning your journey and struggling to find your place, know that you will, in God's time.
Until then may you find that warm, safe place here. Know that you are loved and that each time you share and comment you are blessing someones heart. That's how it works!

Hi, all --ReplyDelete
Just got caught up on reading everything I missed.
Doggie lover, I'm really sorry to hear about your friend who was killed by a drunk driver. If I understand your post correctly, it happened on June 17. Also on that day in Maui, a 54-year-old tourist from Colorado disappeared while snorkeling -- they still haven't found her. She was only 150 yards from shore and was snorkeling with her husband and another couple. That really caught my attention when I heard it because my husband and boys did a ton of snorkeling while we were in Hawaii (I learned I basically suck at snorkeling, so only did it one day, even though I had done it years ago and had a great time). And I am getting caught up on reading our local newspaper -- on June 17 a man was hiking alone near his cabin near Yellowstone and was killed by a big male grizzly. Not normal, but especially troubling because that bear had just been trapped and tranquilized by bear researchers. The wife went looking for her husband when he didn't return and came upon one of the researchers, who then went to where they had just left the bear to wake up and found the man's body. My guess is the man stumbled upon the bear as he was coming out of the effects of the drug -- otherwise, the bear normally would have disappeared as soon as he heard/smelled the person coming.
So what is my point? Because these all happened on that same day and each event was unexpected and sudden, I started thinking that it's best to spend every minute you have sober because you never know when your last minute is going to be. And to spend as much of that sober time with loved ones as possible. Not terribly profound but something I can't get out of my mind.
Also, Emily, where is Randy? I miss reading his posts. Is he OK? Have you seen him lately?

Emily! I just saw you on the Dr Phil show with Mary, and her daughter "kellyReplyDelete
and I was SO HAPPY to know you have "2" years, I just accomplished my very FIRST YEAR EVER since I've been trying this 'recovery stuff' in 1995! I can't count the jail times, and the numerous detoxes and treament ctrs! I finally was able to reach the "surrender" point, y'know? Now looking back I can honestly say, everything that I have gone through and what I've been through, is what I needed to bring me to this place of willingness, and acceptance. I always saw or figured me out to be a 'failure" due to the countless failed attempts at sobriety, now I am thankful for those experiences, it brought me to a light that shines so bright to let me see, sometimes I have to be reduced to a loweset low, in order to recognize what "up" looks like. And in order to be shaped and molded, brand new, I have to become, like clay, moldable, just learn to have that willingness to go and do whatever is needed or neccessary. If I were told in order to be sober, I need to stand on my head and then do cartwheels that is what I will do! All those other times, in treatment, was just to get a rest, a few minutes off my feet, just enough time to get back into PARTY mode. I never was SERIOUS about stopping, I only wanted a break, yknow? So, I have ONE YEAR after like 1995-2009, how many years is that?But, I wouldn't change anything cuz it brought me here, just where i am meant to be! One day at a time, is ALL I need to live by, becuz that is all anyone has really! I LOVE THAT CONCEPT!
Life is so GOOD, GOD is so GOOD, Sobriety is so GOOD, and even when it is 'bad' it ain't BAD like alcoholism bad, or 'using' bad, y'know? My BAD day in sobriety, recovery, isn't near the BEST day of my drinking/using day! Isn't that how they say it? you know what I am talking about?
Happy Camping to you! Lovin' Recovery One Day at a TIME!
In Sobriety~

Hey guys,
Before continuing to the real part of the post, I hope you all had a nice Christmas and a safe and sound New Year's Eve and that 2017 will be a better and more smarter year than the last. Best wishes to all.
Now, for the people who want to read something new, I am afraid that I have to let you down. This is another post about my past. And those who do not care…Well, most of you don't care anyways.
So, let's start here.
A couple of years ago, I've met this friend online, let's call him "Jay" for simplicity's sake. Jay and I have met each other during a stream, during that stream we've switched out details to keep on talking to each other.
Things went well and we've gradually became best buddies over time. I created a form of caring towards this person, as besties are supposed to be. Now, Jay wanted to be an artist. And I was supportive in his decision, since he has majorly talent for it (and still does).
Again, all was dandy, all was peachy king. A year or 3 passed and things gotten a bit wonky at Jay's place. His father deceased. He was now the man in house, despite living with his mom. As a normal person, you say "my condolences" and give the person his or her space to let him or her grieve over the loss.
I, naturally did too, and because I could not get there physically, I typed out "hug" to show my compassion/sympathy. He thanked me for being his friend in the end. I was happy to be his friend. I mean, he and I have been friends for a long time, it's only natural to be happy with him.
Life, as usual, did go on, and both he and I have gotten busy. We started to talk a little less, but we kept talking. Until one day, where was mad at me.
I could not phantom what or why he was mad at me, but he was. Jay was absolutely livid. He did not want to talk to me anymore and that he just outright hate me for whatever I have done to him.
Then he stopped talking to me, blocked me on every channel we have talked to (that being Skype/Twitter/Telegram/Discord) and everything went silent.
He moved on. I was left in the dark about what I may have done which has led up to that moment. It's a thought that keeps hunting my mind ever since.
I do feel bad, I do feel sorry. I just want explanation why he ever did this. This talented guy just left…Not only me, but the Fandom in whole.
Yes, I am proud that I was his friend and that his art is exceedingly growing. But I just want to know why he created such a dislike to me.
I have handed out a small email to him, he replied "Who's this" where I replied with "a old friend from The Netherlands". He did not replied ever since. Jay's clearly still mad at me.
My question is this: What would you do to make your old friend talk again?
In other news:
- PokéTuber and musician A Cloud Named Klaus has resigned from YouTube due to stress. This is saddening since his work is noticeably appreciated. He resumes making music on his SoundCloud.
- I have been registered on WordPress for over two years. Even if this is marked as a 'milestone', I don't feel that cheery to celebrate at all.
- Vine is shutting down quickly. They keep the site alive, but you can't upload new things. The infamous app will integrate into the Twitter app over time.
- January is Update Month. Pokémon Bank gets it's update, Android users getting 7.0 and Nintendo reveals new info about the Switch on the 12th.

This campaign takes place in a world called Resolution. The subsections of this page will describe aspects of Resolution in an encyclopedia-like format.
Obviously, writing an encyclopedia for a new world takes a lot of time (and effort!); I'll try to write the articles as quickly as I can, but it will take some time. While the details fall into place, if you haven't already, please read the Original Flavour Text I wrote as a sort of pitch for the campaign.

For Patrice, real estate is practically a calling. Raised in Westboro Village, her father, whose profession was property development, made it a habit to take Patrice along, at an early age, to development sites, and instruct her on the investment value of buying and selling Ottawa real estate.
Her now 29 year real estate career, however, didn't start after university. Initially, Patrice taught Sociology. Teaching was followed by an 12 year career in government. Patrice was at the Constitutional table for the Federal Government, and then the Government of Saskatchewan, as senior advisor for 6 of those years. She was also Assistant Deputy Minister for the Province, and a leader in originating Saskatchewan's 1.5 million acre Indian land claims policy, and negotiating settlement of the model claims.
Patrice was appointed to the Faculty of the Ontario Real Estate College in 2011, and has since received the College's highest award of excellence. She takes great pleasure in periodically instructing Ottawa real estate students who are in the advanced program leading to registration.
Patrice, through Coldwell Banker Canada, has been awarded either President's Elite or President's Circle status from 2000 to 2008*. For 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Patrice is a recipient of the International President's Circle* award.
She is very proud to be a first recipient of the national award, granted in connection with International Women's Year.
Patrice is a graduate of the Executive Leadership Program of the Niagara Institute, and past member of the Steering Committee of the United Way-Federal division.
Most recently, she has been received awards for Excellence in Education from both the Ottawa Real Estate Board and the Ontario Real Estate College.
Elmer is 4+ decades an Ottawa real estate Broker, and formerly from the Corporate sector. Born in Saskatchewan, he is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan. Like Patrice, Elmer is doing what he dearly loves to do, 24/7. Two and three generations of many Ottawa families call Elmer their broker, and "just the nicest guy". A remarkable problem-solver, Elmer sees solutions where others don't. And he is tireless in his search for results.
Elmer is lucky to have called Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Montreal home at different times. Patrice similarly has lived in Toronto, Quebec City, Kingston, and Regina. Both have travelled extensively throughout eastern and western Canada.

Going out is overrated! Tuck in at home with any of these gluten-free cocktail, dinner or dessert recipes that are perfect for Valentine's Day.
The fact that we've got another snow storm on the way (is it summer yet?), Ben and I have 40 kids, and our babysitter aka my parents are unavailable this week, means we're stayin' in this Valentine's Day! I don't know if there's been a better year to do it. We'll put the kids to bed early, turn on a fire (and a blind eye to the snow) and get to cookin'…or rather, Ben will.
One of the most popular things I'm asked when meeting new people who read the blog is, "does Ben cook?" to which I reply, "DOES HE!!!" That is to say, Ben's not only a terrific chef, but he loves to do it and usually takes the reins on whipping up our special occasion dinners. Friends, if you're lucky enough to find yourself a man who cooks while you watch trashy television on the couch with a cocktail in hand, you're lucky enough.
Ok, enough of the mushy stuff. Let's talk chocolate, steak, and cocktails, oh my! In case you find yourself in a similar situation this Valentine's Day – staying in with a spouse, partner, friend, neighbor, cat or "it's complicated" instead of venturing out – I'm sharing 10 of my most romantic, decadent, and delicious dishes that are not only gluten-free, but perfect for the holiday. We'll most likely go the Surf and Turf for 2 route this year, with Chocolate-Peanut Butter Lava Cakes for dessert and Chocolate-Peppermint Puppy Chow as a special treat for the boys. Do you have any fun Valentine's Day traditions or recipes you find yourself making year after year?
Gluten-Free Fudgy Brownies
The ULTIMATE gluten-free brownie! These babies are rich, dense, and ultra fudgy. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or use a heart-shaped cookie cutter for a sweet presentation!
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Lava Cakes for 2
I'm still thinking about these molten lava cakes studded with peanut butter days after my last bite. They're the perfect Valentine's Day dessert as the recipe makes just enough for two individual-sized cakes.
Chocolate-Peppermint Puppy Chow
I originally created this recipe for Christmas time, but the color and minty flavor are perfect for Valentine's Day too. Lincoln and I are making a big batch for his teacher as it packages up and travels nicely (even by way of a 5 year old!) Tip: use round mint candies as there won't be candy canes in stores right now.
Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls
There's no sweeter way to wake up on Valentine's Day morning then with a warm pan of Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls! You will fall in love with this recipe.
Soft and Chewy Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies (Cut Out + Drop Options)
Cookie-decorating party with the kids, anyone? These gluten-free cookies are soft, chewy, and you'd never know they're gluten-free. I recommend frosting the tops with Simple Mills vanilla frosting – OMG.
The Best Fruit Dip EVER
Want to know how to make fresh fruit even better? Serve it with this INSANE, three ingredient fruit dip. This is another great special occasion treat for kids, especially!
Surf & Turf for Two
This recipe comes with rave review after rave review – yes, you can make surf and turf at home, too! I break down what cut of steak to get, timing, and everything. You and your valentine will feel like you're dining at a fancy restaurant when you dig into this dish.
Chicken Piccata Risotto with Crispy Capers
Risotto is a great dish to cook with your Valentine. Pour yourselves a couple glasses of wine then spend some time chatting while stirring the risotto into a dish of creamy deliciousness. This Chicken Piccata Risotto with Crispy Capers is INSANELY yummy.
Chicken with Cherry-Wine Pan Sauce
An oldie yet goodie! Chicken with Cherry-Wine Pan Sauce continues to be one of my most popular Valentine's Day recipes, five years after posting it. It's all about that luscious cherry-wine pan sauce – so pretty.
Pan-Roasted Steak with Caramelized Onions & Goat Cheese
Steak + brown butter + caramelized onions + softened goat cheese = match made in Valentine's Day heaven! This is another dish that will make you and your mate feel like you're at a restaurant while staying in the comfort of your own home. Pure decadence!
Kombucha Mule
Kombucha loves cocktails – who knew? Ben and I both adore this super easy, slightly healthier spin on classic Moscow Mules.
Chambord Margarita
Pink colored cocktails for Valentine's Day? Sold! Despite the pretty blush color of these Chambord Margaritas, they aren't super sweet.

Sciatica… Or Sciatic nerve irritation… Or pain down your leg that comes from your back.
At Level4 Physio-Wellness-Performance, it is not unusually for us to hear of people complaining of either pain or numbness while favoring their back.
Medical doctors often suggest physical therapy and stretching to help relieve the incredible pain of sciatica.
Treatment can begin while there is still pain, but the hopeful outcome is that the pressure on the Sciatic nerve is relieved through stretching and exercise, relieving the agonizing pain and eliminating the limping.
How does Sciatica Cause Pain?
Sciatica is not a "true" medical diagnosis, but rather it describes a symptom that does not exactly point to the true underlying physical problem.
Sciatic pain can originate either in the lower back region or in the buttock and can spread down the back of one or both legs… following the path of the Sciatic nerve.
The Sciatic nerve can be the source of pain when it is compressed by soft tissue, bone, scar tissue, inflammation and/or pressure from a intervertebral disc.
The Sciatic nerve travels through the lumbar vertebrae, across the buttocks, and then branches down the legs to the feet.
Problems that generate this type of sciatic pain includes the following:
- Pregnancy
- Pelvic misalignment
- Herniated disc
- Stenosis (the narrowing of the nerve space)
- Decreased flexibility in muscles of the hip joint
Focusing on Pain Relief
Considered one of the most painful conditions that involve the lower back and legs, the Sciatic nerve system consists of the largest nerve (as big as your thumb) and the individual nerve roots branching out from the spine.
When this very large sciatic nerve is irritated, it makes simple movements in life a living nightmare of pain.
Different areas of compression along this nerve are often the cause of varying symptoms involving the lumbar area of the back, muscles of the buttocks, back of the thighs, and behind the knees, ankles, feet and toes.
Nerve impingement creates numbness, tingling, weakness, and deep pain.
Medical doctors understand that everyone experiences this type of back pain differently.
They prescribe physical therapy treatments knowing that professional therapists perform evaluations to discern the best type of treatment modes for each individual.
For the specific needs of sciatica patients, a combination of solutions are offered.
How to Manage Sciatica Symptoms
Sciatica pain varies from constant and incapacitating to occasional episodes.
Thera re different locations where the Sciatic nerve can become compressed, pinched or irritated.
Some patients experience pain, tingling, and numbness down both legs.
Others experience sciatic pain on only one side and down one leg.
First, unlike other types of back injury pain problems, physicians recommend that patients keep moving.
But, this is difficult to achieve when certain movements are extremely painful.
Patients need to maintain their back and leg muscle strength to prevent further compression in the Sciatic nerve.
This is precisely why medical doctors recommend that their patients meet with a physical therapist to determine a set of therapies most appropriate for specific pain areas.
Treatments may include gentle pain free exercises, stretching, massage and proper bending and movement instructions, according to when patients experience relief.
Here is a stretch that often provides relief to patients who are suffering from Sciatica.
Why Level4 Physio-Wellness-Performance?
This is why at Level4 Physio-Wellness-Performance, we implement Pilates exercises early and safely.
This allows us to focus on strengthening your core muscles.
It also keeps you flexible and active in a pain free range, and to help assist with pain relief.
Clinical research studies show the sooner a patient begins physical therapy, the better the outcomes are.
Physical therapy should begin within 10-14 days of the onset of pain.

Pretty flowers forever
It took alot of experimenting to get this right, I dried the pansy's & daisies last September.
There hardy flowers,when fresh; daisies, last so long in a vase.
Recently In the Woods There were so many beautiful plants, trees,its endless really,knowing what will work in a piece of jewellery touching feeling thinking & so on is a blessing and you feel so connected to the earth. Honestly i never want to leave.! I had planned to go there today but there is a blanket of snow outside, Im assuming the Woods are covered too.
the pansy in the light., they all look as though they have a face? sometimes i feel guilty picking them and all the other leafs i take home after being out..
can u see it?
here ive taking a photo so you can see how it would look over a top, dress, etc…
i like how simply it is.
Daisy in a heart. so so pretty. I have many happy memorys that make me smile of when i was little girl, My sister thats older than me, gosh I adored her! i still do but anyway She always used to make me daisy chains and bracelets with the little daisys that grew in Our back garden. I would treasure My chain and be heart broken when they withered! She always made me another, so much patience…..
Il try it on soon & post a picture of how the daisy chain looks on,
I have one pansy chain, 1 fern chain & 2 daisy chains available.
there on a 20″ silver plated chain with lobster clasp & are 40mm excluding bail.
Closer photo of daisy. x
All is well
I am so lucky to have my car and escape to the countryside when I feel I need some fresh air and peace, I love walking through the woods especially, i found a new place Derrycassin Woods recently, its beautiful, with many walkways, a lake, old ruins and its sheltered which is fantastic with the weather lately.
When I am in the woods I sit and just be, in the moment also near water i feel so at ease and could stay there forever, true scorpio!
so many ideas come to mind
one of many bridges in the woods
Which inspired some other new work il share soon
This piece is basically the memory of My first visit there, that good feeling being at peace. 🙂
I get my inspiration from many sources,memories,the countryside with this it was a musician,her voice is touching, its hard to describe but u get this warm feeling inside listening to really good music, id describe her voice as timeless classic and her style is truly unique.
I used lace here with two tiny pearls sewn into it. I love how elegant and natural the lady is, I dont actually know the photographer 😦
i have so many old photos, books, magazines : A lot are taking apart, cut out and in boxes from previous collages, I really should organise things. As I have concern around using someone elses image and not naming them…….???
The setting is silver plated, it measures 60 mm in length, it comes with a 20″ silver plated chain with lobster clasp.
Playing Cupid!
I've been playing cupid for couples.
These pet names couples have for each other. Some are funny & cute the ideas really sweet,i like it so i was asking a few people what they would like…
If i had a partner at the moment
I'd be happy if he/she did this for me or even thought of it!
On the subject, today I met someone whos 85 going on 16! Such a funny charming lady, I was helping her with some necklaces She had that needed new clasps/wire etc.. She cant get them open with arthitris.Id met her last week, It was a magical few hours, The storys She shared one in particular about her husband who passed away 3 days after their 50th Wed Anniversy. Clearly She was still so much in love & missed him dearly still (17 yrs he's passed away) She showed me all her impressive artwork some of which She made her self using fabric. I felt grateful afterwards trust was there and how open She was with me and her vulnerablilty yet so feisty! (A phone call She recieved and the caller treated her like She was stupid) the way She reacted was briliant! I love that, Elderly withy men & women. You learn and have so much craic!
Oh about male/female pendants, I waffle alot ! My text messages are also like essays too!
I heard a story about a young man who has been on his own for 7 years, he had been in love with a girl and after a 6 year relationship She ended it. He was heartbroken. For months he became depressed but eventually got over it and moved on with life. Then he heard that She was in a new relationship, this time her partner was female. He was so shocked, 'wasnt the same' (the words used) basically hasnt been with a girl since & freezes up whenever he's around any females.
I'm not judging atal, hope it doesnt come across this way. I really feel for him, it must have been so hard but u do have to move on. I am assuming its because of the area he's from, people can be so so small minded and hurtful, their so insecure in themselves and have never really been anywhere or worked on themselves that its just natural to judge and slag people about their sexuality. So Be it s,bi,l,g, watever…. if u love someone fuck what anyone else thinks,go for it & if in the process someone gets depressed etc.. thats their stuff.
This posts for all u lovers out !
I am having trouble today with my pc I had a really long description written & it got lost..So here We go again….
I really am happy with how this pendant turned out. I walk alot with my best friend, through forests , boglands and anywhere I can find that has a beautiful landscape. Its a need for me to get out into nature at least everyday living in town has its benefits but Im a country girl at heart (excuse the cliche)
I need to be out and get peace. It inspires me alot and thus with this piece I wanted to capture the day.
I have my little idea journal with me all the time and a few months ago i found acorns dryed them.
There was also heathers in the distance and the petals had blown away. I dryed all and left them. For a few months I wasnt able to do anything creatively as I mentioned before quite a few times!
Anywa I used blue/green seed beads (sky) green leave (grass) & set the acorn with the petals surrounding it. I really like how it looks and how the acorn is set. Hope u guys are feeling it!
bronze pendant
I just wanted to share this with you, its a Xmas gift I made for a friend. I used a really bright blue , added some tiny gems and old text from a french/english dictionary & sealed it. As u can see it has a glossy finish catching the light from the window on the right side of the piece.
