an australia day in vintage, a fly by and a faux bang
I might just wave my hands quickly at arms length when showing them for a while; movement + distance = oh that's
quite good! I had a side boo next to my faux bang. Wow, what a sentence. It's ok, it does make sense..! I also have sore eyes form an allergy and a wish that hair pins were made in clear plastic, or at least white-blonde colour. Wouldn't that be useful! I also finally got an orange lip liner to wear with my orange lipstick. I love wearing it, and I love orange with blue. I've also been filling out my eyebrows, expanding – literally – on their early 1960s' shape. It was one of our weird mid summer days that are kind of dark grey but glarey at the same time. I wore my new vintage blue floral cotton dress with the elbow length sleeves – funny how slightly longer sleeves can make a dress seem so much warmer. I never expect it to be cold at this time of year and I wished I'd worn tights, and it's interesting seeing how different bright colours look on a gloomy day. I'm still madly in love with my orange polka dot shoes – they go with so, so much! – but I promise I will start wearing other shoes on the blog again, soon, too. Promise! We played badminton and it got rather strenuous. Even I upped my game and actually moved my feet off the ground in my enthusiasm to hit the shuttlecock, but not quite this much! Note the beer in hand on the left there; most Strayan. There was a flyover, and after a few minutes I had to get my camera. They came in really close, and it was actually really impressive; I wish I got some shots of when they were so close to us. How do they remember those long routines? I love the noise they make, and they flew so low the ground rumbled. It was actually pretty exciting... who knew?! I'd put my badminton racket down to get my camera and it was promptly snatched up by this chap – but with tattoos that good there was no pouting from me. And how good is that lobster shirt? My hair survived my sporting antics pretty well. Considering it was windy, too, I was rather pleased. Still, that was enough Outdoor Time, so we headed home for dinner and I painted a ladder – and more on that soon. I almost said happy Monday, but yesterday was a public holiday and so: happy Tuesday! One day closer to the weekend! x

Your hair came out looking beautiful. I love the look of the faux bags, coral flower and your fancy updo. You did your lipstick and mascara perfectly and your vintage blue floral-print dress is very pretty. You needn't move your hands quickly at arms length - your nail art is lovely. Are your badminton playing companions part of a ballet troupe by any chance? It rather looks like it in at least one of those photos (beer in hand no less). It's still Monday here in the U.S. where I am, so thank you for the Happy Monday and a Happy Tuesday to you!!!

Your hair is cool! I have a rat thing I use - it's wool roving (used for felting) as it's the only thing I could get that is red-red and wont show under my hair!
Also - pins - I've looked for red ones on ebay and there's a few that can be found - be wary of cheap looking non-hairdresser ones as they don't hold hair very well. But they do exist!
And - in response to your Gorman obsession - my boss is the same - she can't get enough Gorman shoes! :-D

Haha I love that you say 'Straya!
As for hair pins, there actually are ones that come in a pack of 3 different blonde shades, one for a white silvery blonde like yours and then two other shades. You can get them in Woolworths, which you have in Melb...right? And if not, I could send you some because I always have like 5 unopened packs of them :D Let me know!

I love your faux bang, it's certainly been a while. ALso, your nail art (which I've seen a fair bit via your instagram) is superb. Looks like a super fun austalia day. I spent it listening to the triple j hottest 100 count down and dancing the night away. best australia day ever :D

That would have to be the best action shot I've seen in a long time! Love the beer - yes so strayan. Your outfit was perfect as usual, but that lobster shirt comes a close second. Actually you're lucky. Where I was on Australia Day, 90% of the male population was shirtless - not pretty!

hi esme - just stumbled upon your blog via the sweetest occasion's round-up of up-and-coming blogs and i can honestly say i'm hooked. there's just such a great vibe here, makes me wanna stick around!

Your hair looks magnificent like this! I never had the volume of hair needed with my real hair to create that marvelous "u" shape to my rolled bangs . The wig I have now has cute bangs, but they're not really long enough to roll, so I'll just have to wait until one day when I get a wig with longer hair to hopefully (finally!) create the perfect rolled bang.

Oh my goodness! The hair, the nails, the shoes, THE DRESS! You look simply gorgeous and it sounds like you had the most fabulous day! I'm so envious of the sunshine in all your pictures! It's absolutely freezing and grey here in England! Super love your blog! X

You would think white blind or clear hair pins would be invented or if they are more readily available. Ph and those shoes are just too cute not to wear everyday. :)

So lovely! There must be clear hairpins out there somewhere.
- 30 January 2013 at 04:35
Sometimes I feel like turning my back on the retro style I've been into since I was a teenager, because I think it's getting boring in my mid-20's... But then I stumple upon things like you and your hair - beautiful! Once again I'm inspired to keep on looking like I do.

Clear hairpins would be revolutionary!

You hair looks wonderful and so do your nails!
(I secretly cringe every time I hear "straya" but I giggled at you saying it ;)

Marianne, you are gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! As always! I have been into blues lately too, but mostly in my paintings and around the house. Have some recent Laura Ashley fabric that I thrifted -- say about 11 yards for 1.59? Yes. For the whole lot! They made great curtains and desk curtain. Blue's a great color!

- Elle said...
Light blue and peachy orange is one of my favourite colour combinations as well, and it looks beautiful on you! I think it may factor into my spring and summer colour palette...

Panty Buns : happy Monday! :D haha no, no dancers, but I think they enjoyed that :)
Esz : your boss has excellent taste ;D Your rat thing sounds interesting, I just use those nylon tiny loop ones but I should try a firmer one. This one is going ok though.
Harlow Darling : we have Woolworths but I haven't seen these pins, I'll have another look. Thanks so much for the info! And the offer :) I might take you up on it and buy some from you; matching hair pins is a dream!
Meg Eileen Carroll sounds perfect! x
Debs : oh I don't know, I don't mind a topless male or two..! :D
Steph : Hello and welcome! I havem't seen this round up so thanks for the heads up, I'll have a look for it :) Glad you like it! x
Jessica Cangiano : can you roll that bang in a kind of long loop, like Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity?
Katy : thanks :) I've an old one on Youtube, when I had black hair. :) I should do a new, better quality one now I've got a camera that does video, though. x
Hannah : hehe thanks!
Danika Jane : thanks x
norafinds sounds good until the sunburn! :< hope it's better now. Boo to the strong sun!
Miss Jojangles thanks – but I'd happily swap you a sunny day for a cold English grey one, it gets a bit monotonous here..! x
Helen Le Caplain : thanks – it doesn't take too long once you get the hang of it. :)
Mrs Advocat : haha hope you guys had a good one! Does he get in to the Triple J 100 ?
RDYN! thanks! I hope I can keep the blonde/pastel a bit longer, but I'm worried it's about to fall out. It did a bit last time I did my roots which is why I'm thinking of going back to red. :o
Megan Colwell : there's and old one on my youtubes but I will do a new, better quality one.
Stefanie : I know! SO much demand for them!
MOUSEVOX VINTAGE : thanks – and it sounds as though there might be, hooray!
Ann : totally know what you mean. Anything that feels like an obligation gets tired very quickly so it's nice to be able to do what you want with hair and style, rather than stick to one thing because you feel you're committed. I get tired of doing vintage hair sometimes and then bam! I'm back into it :D
Becky: and they might just exist... excited! :D
Teresa thanks! Haha the straya is done with tongue in cheek, honestly :D There was a giant Aussie flag thong there, headbands with "go Australia" on them, all to be laughed at.
Lynn Dylan wow that's a bargain! Awesome! :D
Elle thanks :) And perfect spring colours! x

Such a beautiful dress! A news reader on BBC had a royal blue dress with a bright orange skinny belt yesterday morning, most fetching I felt. I think it has a dutch feel to it. I draw the line at wooden clogs though..!

You are such a babe! You look like a porcelain dolly, lady :) I love to see a blonde with those faux bangs, it looks flawless! Those victory rolls look perfect too. Not to mention the rosy cheeks! TOO BEAUTIFUL!

ANCHORAGE (AP) -- A woman died Tuesday morning in a four-vehicle accident on the New Seward Highway in south Anchorage.
Anchorage police said Diane Quinton, 51, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said Quinton was driving north in the right lane and she lost control of her Chevrolet Blazer. She struck a Subaru in the left lane and both vehicles crossed the median into oncoming southbound traffic.
The Blazer hit a van, then collided head-on with a trash compactor truck.
The driver of the van was treated and released at an area hospital. No one else was injured.

Has there ever been something that you consider buying, and then regretted when you didn't? And then if you went back for that special something and it was still there, you were meant to buy it?
Back in July I took a shopping trip to Erie, PA. There is a few consignment shops and antique stores that I enjoy visiting in the towns outside of Erie. One of these consignment shops is in Cambridge Springs. They had a vintage tablecloth and napkins that I thought was exquisite. The detail of the cross-stitching was amazing. The blue thread on the white fabric really popped.
But I walked away from it. The tablecloth wasn't anything that I needed and it didn't fit into the decorating scheme going on in the dining room. And to be honest, I'm cheap when it comes to buying things like this. Put me in Banana Republic and my credit card flies out of my purse, but when I'm thrifting, I'm a bit more, well, thrifty. But I did like the tablecloth.
When I went back to Erie Black Friday weekend, I told my mom that I was going to get the tablecloth if it were still there. I said this knowing that things do not last long in this consignment shop and that it wouldn't be there......Well, it was, so I had to buy it. Maybe someday it will match my decor.
Isn't it amazing how much quality can be in a handmade piece? Even the backside of the tablecloth is fabulous. Can you imagine how much care someone had to take to stitch such detail? There isn't a thread out of place.
I think this is one reason why I've begun to love vintage pieces over what can be purchased in the store. A machine can make anything and make it look good, but to see something that has been made so perfectly with someone's two hands is truly special.

Counterterrorism Knives:
This striking and unusual Kerambit is a huge piece of edged art. With a 7 inch long blade, and a full length of over 11.25 inches, the Titan cuts an imposing figure. The knife is double edged, double hollow ground, and mirror finished 440C high chromium martensitic stainless steel for the highest corrosion resistance and brightest finish of any tool steel. The grinds are accomplished with a 3" diameter contact wheel, so they are very thin at the cutting edge while leaving plenty of 1/4" thick spine to support the knife blade. Of special importance is the concave hollow ground edge, something that is very rare in the knife world, both contemporary and in the past, because of the great difficulty in execution. The top straight edge has three inches of my Vampire rip teeth serrations, and the choils of both knives are deeply defined. The entire blade is fileworked and engraved, the tang is fully tapered for balance, and the knife tang has a rear finger ring, polished inside and out, with a persuader talon at the butt. The knife has 304 austenitic high nickel, high chromium stainless steel bolsters that are hand-engraved in a pattern that matches the curves of the blade and lines of the knife, and the handle scales are striking Crazy Lace Agate gemstone. The stone is very hard and glassy, the patterns within are intricate and detailed. The sheath has multiple inlays of burgundy Ostrich leg skin in 9 - 10 oz. leather shoulder, hand-stitched, in a design that allows a view of the handle with snap-strap retention. A magnificent Kerambit.
Thanks, P. K.!

PUBLIC Health Minister Michael Matheson has used National No Smoking Day to reaffirm the Scottish Government's commitment to tackle the harm caused by tobacco use.
He said the government would not be deterred by the organised lobbying of big tobacco firms.
Mr Matheson said: "Recent statistics have shown us that fewer people are smoking and fewer are being admitted to hospital with smoke-related illnesses. While it's encouraging that we're moving in the right direction we must keep these gains in context.
"The fact remains that 56,000 people are admitted to Scottish hospitals every year as a result of tobacco use – more people than you can fit in Hampden Park - and smoking contributes to a shocking 13,000 deaths a year."
Scotland was the first country in the UK to introduce a ban on smoking in public places, and has also increased the sales age from 16 to 18, and banned vending machines and the display of smoking-products in shops.
"The Tobacco Industry has a long and failed history of challenging governments who take action to protect public health from the harms of the product they sell," he added.
Later this month the Scottish Government launches a major campaign on the subject of second hand smoke. The hard hitting campaign will seek to illustrate the hidden dangers of smoke to children in the home and car.
Mr Matheson added: "Legislation is an important element of our anti-tobacco strategy, but awareness raising campaigns are also vital. I'm looking forward to launching our second hand smoke campaign which will spell out clearly the serious health harm which children are exposed to through breathing in other people's smoke in homes and cars. On National No Smoking Day that is something we all should reflect on."

Prequel that traces the early life of cannibal and bon vivant Hannibal Lecter, and provides the back-story that may explain how he acquired unconventional culinary habits: Growing up in Eastern Europe at the end of World War II, a young Hannibal (Gaspard Ulliel) cannot prevent the violent deaths of his parents and his young sister, and he vents his rage through horrific revenge on the perpetrators. Also with Gong Li, Rhys Ifans, Ivan Marevich and Dominic West. Directed by Peter Webber. [1:57]
SEX/NUDITY 5 - A man licks a woman's cheek (she is tied to a chair and he is forcing himself on her), he kisses her, and licks his finger and prepares to penetrate her with it.
► A woman wears a silky robe that reveals cleavage and drapes open to reveal bare legs when she sits on a sofa across from a man. A woman wears a low-cut nightgown that reveals cleavage. A toddler girl bathes in a basin (we see her bare chest), and a man sits in a bathtub while a woman shaves his bare chest.
► A woman and a young man kiss passionately. A woman and a young man hug, and she nuzzles his neck in such a way that it is implied that they have had a sexual relationship.
► A man makes a crude, racist and derogatory comment about a part of a woman's anatomy.
VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - A young man with a large sword slashes a man across the abdomen (we see the wound open and blood pours out), then across the hand cutting off a finger, and then the back (blood seeps from each wound); the camera pulls back and the man's head is then lopped off (we hear the sword, hear a thud and we can see the head separate from a distance).
► A man is tied to a tree around the chest and throat, the other end of the rope is tied onto the back of a horse, the horse walks away and the rope tightens around the man's neck; the man gags, his eyes bleed, and his head pops off (we hear a pop and a thud and a young man's face is sprayed with blood).
► A man reaches for a gun and a young man stabs him through the chin (we see the point of the blade poke through the top of his head).
► A tank on the ground and a plane in the air fire at each other: the man in the tank is shot through the chest, another man on the ground is shot through the back (we see bullet holes and blood), and the plane crashes near the tank throwing several people through the air; a woman stumbles out of the smoke with a wound on her back and dies in a child's arms.
► A young man slashes a man's Achilles' tendons (we see bloody slashes and the man falls to the floor), he breaks the man's hand with a chair, he carves a letter in the man's chest (we see the bloody wound), stabs him in the arm, and then bites off one of his cheeks (we hear the man scream and see the open wound); he then bites other parts off (we hear the man screaming and see the young man climb on top of him).
► A man is attached to a device that lowers him into a liquid-filled tank containing cadavers; he thrashes and tries to free himself, he is pushed under the surface, a lid is closed on top of the tank, the tank is filled with liquid, and the man thrashes some more and drowns.
► A dead man missing his head lies on a morgue table (we see several wounds caked with dry blood, including the severed neck). A severed head is placed on a gatepost (we see blood in its nose and mouth). A man's severed head is placed on an altar and a woman finds it, and a man's severed head is placed on a tree stump and we see it with its cheeks missing. We see a man's severed head and face burning in an incinerator. A young man prepares bodies for medical school anatomy classes (we see bloody bodies with openings where organs have been removed and we see a scalpel cutting into a blood-soaked body part). We see a small human skull and two bones (probably of an arm and a leg) in a basin. We see organs and tissue in jars filled with liquid (one contains what looks like a human child's skull and spine).
► A woman stabs a man in the throat (we hear him gurgle and see blood pour from the wound). A young man beats a man repeatedly using a meat mallet and a woman holds a knife to another man's throat.
► A man shoots a wounded man in the head (we see the man flinch and blood spurts). A man shoots a woman in the head (we see her slide down a wall leaving a smear of blood).
► A young man is shot in the back and falls to the floor (we see a bloody bullet hole in his back), and a man stands over him with a knife and threatens to cut off a part of his anatomy and give it to his girlfriend.
► A man raises an ax over a little girl while other men hold her down, and we hear her screaming and hear a thud (apparently killing her). A man is interrogated about war crimes, he is given an injection of a sedative, he is led into a room where he is strapped to a table, and we hear a guillotine blade come down and a thud (presumably the head falling into a basket). A man is identified as being Jewish and is taken off-screen and shot (we hear the gunshot).
► A man tries to slap a young man in the face, and the young man stabs him in the hand with a fork (we see blood on his hand). A young man stabs a man in the neck with a syringe (the man falls unconscious).
► A woman stitches up a young man's finger using a needle and thread (we see the needle pass through his skin and blood on the wound). A young man cuts his own finger with a razor (we hear squish, and we see blood and an open cut).
► A man with an ax takes a girl by the hand and leads her outside, a boy tries to stop him and another man breaks his arm using a club and the boy collapses to the floor unconscious.
► A man is thrown overboard, he flails in the water as the ship floats toward him and eventually crushes him against the wall. A young man steps in a trap, it snaps shut and he falls to the ground yelling and flailing.
► A young man has repeated nightmares, where he remembers men taking his sister away, killing and eating her.
► Several armed men break into a house where a young boy and girl hide, and the men chain the children together and threaten to shoot the girl.
► A young man strikes a man twice with a stick. A young man splashes a man with alcohol and threatens him with a lighter. A young man holds a sickle over another young man's throat while he sleeps. A man grabs a man and threatens him with a pick ax.
► A man eats a bird; we see him pushing the bird into his mouth (it seems uncooked), we hear squishing and see blood on the man's mouth. We see several quick-cut images of raw meat being cut with a cleaver and fish being gutted (we see blood and intestines and hear a lot of squishing).
► A house is bombed, it explodes and collapses, and a man is struck, and trapped by debris (we see blood on his head). A soldier has a bloody wound on his head. A man shoves and manhandles two women who are locked in a cell in the hold of a ship. A man grabs a woman by the face and squeezes.
► A man is held with a knife to his throat and asked if he is a "Gypsy or a Jew"; one man says they should look at a part of his anatomy to find out and starts to unbuckle his pants (they are interrupted). A young man holds a gun on a man who tries to get away and the young man fires the gun (the man is not struck).
► Several men talk about eating children to survive. A young man tells a man that he has taken his children and will only return them if he gives him information. We hear people talking about a man's responsibility in telling Nazi soldiers where children were and the children were then led to their deaths. A man talks about finding the remains of cooked mushrooms and cheeks. A man tells a woman, "Your boyfriend ate someone's face."
► A boy and girl hear an explosion in the distance and see planes flying over their home, and they rush back to find their parents packing their belongings. Armed soldiers march along a road with tanks and armored vehicles.
► A man holds a frozen, dead rodent in his hand and we see frozen maggots on it (he had planned to eat it). Wild dogs sniff at dead bodies left on the ground. We see many dead and stuffed animals in a taxidermy shop.
► A woman and a young man fight with wooden swords (practicing).
► A young man breaks into an abandoned house, and he is startled by a boar and rats running about.
► A ship explodes.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.

Q I have unfortunately allowed myself to accrue a £3,000 overdraft, which is costing me about £40 a month in interest. My mortgage is fully flexible and the rate is tracked at no more than 0.99% above the Bank of England base rate for the lifetime of the loan. I have made a number of lump sum overpayments over the years, as well as a regular monthly overpayment of about £300.
Is it a good idea to use some of the overpayment on my mortgage to pay this £3,000 off? My intention would be try to pay back the extra borrowing over the next 12 months or so. Does this make sense from a financial perspective? HF
A Yes, it does make sense financially to increase your mortgage to repay your overdraft. Paying £40 a month in interest on an overdraft of £3,000 means the overdraft interest rate is 16%. If you added £3,000 to your mortgage at a rate of 1.49% your monthly interest bill on that amount would come down to £3.73 a month – or to put it another way, the yearly increase in your mortgage interest would be barely more than what you are paying for your overdraft each month. However, it still makes sense – as you plan to do – to clear the additional borrowing over the next 12 months.

New York City is such a lovely city, and this I know from personal experience. I think you really capture NYC in this poem and being able to describe something as grand and extravagant as New York City in one poem or just one chapter can be hard to do. It flows very nicely, by the way. I liked it. :)

"All of the people on top,
The skyscrapers,
All the people underneath,
The subways," - *love* that structure and diction.
"symphony of emotion,
they are the pulse of the city" - love that too.
i like your conclusions and suspicions of people.

As a fairly recent convert to worms, I think it's a good move! One group you should certainly interact with closely is John White's (maybe mine, too) at the Univ. of Wisconsin, since I know they ultimately had a goal of generating 4d info on C.e. for use in education and research as an international resource, based on the digital software under development at the Integrated Micrscopy Resource. It seems really counterproductive to have multiple efforts of this sort going on without coordination of efforts. I strongly urge close coordination of such efforts across the C. e. community. This would avoid some of the (not necessarily unfriendly) competition of technologies that we saw for a time with the databases (i.e., Acedb vs. WCS, which was obviated by the World Wide Web). Having said this, I think that this sort of a project is, in theory, a nice idea!

If you work in the City of London, the general verdict seems to be that a vote to leave the European Union on June 23rd will be a bad thing for your career. A poll on our homepage currently suggests 56% of you think a 'Brexit' will be either quite or very bad for your job. This is unsurprising: come-Brexit, Goldman Sachs has issued several warnings about its intention to move staff out of the UK and banks like Credit Suisse are already busy moving traders to Dublin.
Would Continental Europe's finance professionals really ditch London if Britain leaves the EU though? After all, many have spent their entire careers in the City, have children at British schools, and drink tea instead of coffee…
We asked 25 non-British European finance professionals who are either working in London now or who have worked in London in the recent past for their opinions on the pleasures of London – or not. Given that London ranks 72nd in the recent Mercer Quality of Life index, versus 7th for Frankfurt, wouldn't they rather be living elsewhere?
This is what they said.
"I have no commitment to London whatsoever"
This was a common sentiment – and not just among young finance professionals with no roots in the UK. Most continental Europeans in the City still have families or girlfriends in their home countries. Many are here for the jobs and not much else. If the jobs are on offer at home, home they will go.
"I would rather move to Milan! In short I like living in London as long as it is the EU," said one senior hedge fund manager from Italy.
"My family's in Milan and I commute a lot," echhoed another Italian hedge fund manager in London. "The advantage of being in London has been that it's a global and European hub – even though it's expensive and quite difficult to live in. If Brexit takes some of these hub characteristics away, then Paris or Frankfurt – or Milan – will probably end up being good substitutes."
"Paris and Frankfurt offer better job security than London," said a director at a European bank. However, until now he said they haven't offered any decent jobs: "I would definitely consider moving to Paris for the right opportunity."
A Swedish M&A banker who's lived in London said he'd rather live in Paris or Zurich than London: "Paris is a cool city to live in." – The implication being that London is not.
"The Brexit vote is a betrayal"
Some London-based Europeans expressed annoyance at the fact that they stand to be 'rejected' and forced to apply for a visa to stay here despite paying years of income tax in the UK.
"If the UK were to leave the EU, I would consider moving," says one German finance communications professional. "I've been a loyal taxpayer in the UK for a very long time, and the prospect of having to arrange a green card or similar to stay here is making me mad….. I'd probably go to Frankfurt. "
"The British are lower calibre than the Europeans and London would struggle without us"
Another German finance communications professional in London said the Britons in the City tend to be less competent than their counterparts from the EU. "If you're English, it's all about which private school you attended and where you went to university," he says. "In Germany, that's a lot less important and most people have at least a higher degree."
The Europeans in the City are often a lot more international than the Britons, he added. They're the ones working in a foreign language and foreign culture and the mere fact of their presence indicates their higher calibre: "You have to be more flexible, more motivated and better educated to succeed abroad than at home."
"If the UK leaves the EU, living in London could become even more expensive"
Irrespective of the value of the pound, one senior trader and student with a German husband, said she foresees life in the City becoming more onerous if the UK is outside the EU: "Firstly we would have to move my husband to a partner visa, which would be a hassle. Secondly, a lot of our friends have kids and they have EU au pairs. If bringing EU au pairs into the UK became more difficult then it would certainly have a lot of financial consequences for families."
"London's not what it used to be"
An Italian fixed income salesman said he'd move: "I like living in London but I wouldn't mind at all living in Paris/Frankfurt – or even better, Milan. In London salaries are decreasing compared to 5-6 years ago while house prices have surged a lot. I feel like London is not as appealing as it was in the past."
"London has linguistic advantages"
"English is the language on the job and in the street in London," said one senior investment banking auditor from Spain. "You don't get that in – say, Paris."
"London is more dynamic and international"
"As a non-German/French speaker I only want to live in London, I love it there!," says one investment banking associate, currently in Germany.
"What I particularly liked about London is the international vibe and networking opportunities," says Jerome Troiano, a former analyst at BarCap who now helps students into finance careers at French business school EDHEC.
"There's no other place like London," says another former French M&A banker turned entrepreneur. "The people, the experience, are unmatchable. I've tried Paris (a year and a half) in 2004 when it was much safer than now…and it's a very difficult place for a non-French to operate. Frankfurt is a dead city past 6pm."
But Berlin is best
Lastly, one European banking analyst who now lives in Berlin, says City people are missing a trick if they don't try the German capital. "I bought a flat in Berlin for €46k. I've got a friend who's paying £540 a month to live in an 8-bedroom house in Golders Green…"

Meaty Baked Ziti with Fresh Ricotta
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: As an Italian-American, I was raised on that oh-so-comforting combination of meat, cheese, tomatoes and pasta. Growing up baked ziti was something my dad made to use up leftover ziti, and I saw it more in pizza parlors than my home. But recently I've developed a taste for this classic (way more American than Italian) and have started making my own. Dollops of fresh ricotta are what really make the dish for me, and the mozzarella must be good as well - none of that rubbery supermarket variety. I love to make Spaghetti Bolognese, and so essentially adapted that recipe for baked ziti. My own special touch: adding sauteed spinach in with the meat. —kmartinelli
Serves 6
- 1 pound ziti or penne (I prefer DeCecco pasta)
- Olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, finely diced
- 1 stalk celery, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 12 ounces spinach
- 8 tomatoes, chopped (or 1 35-ounce can whole, peeled tomatoes, chopped)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 10 ounces fresh ricotta
- 1 pound fresh mozzarella, shredded
- Cook the ziti in a large pot of boiling water until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large pan. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring frequently to break up the pieces, until browned and mostly cooked through. Add the spinach and mix in until wilted.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a separate pan. Add tomatoes and cook over moderate heat until the juices have released and a light sauce forms. Add this (or canned tomatoes) to meat mixture and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spoon ziti and sauce mixture into a large baking or casserole pan. Top with evenly spaced dollops of the fresh ricotta and cover with shredded mozzarella. Bake until the cheese has melted completely and is lightly brown. Cut into squares and serve immediately.

The Magic Millions national weanling sale got off to a rousing start in Australia May 26. The gross during the first session was up 93% from a year ago, and the average price rose 50.5%. The clearance rate was 89%, an increase from 80% in 2009.
Magic Millions managing director David Chester was delighted with the proceedings of the first session and was looking forward to the May 27 second session.
"We had some lovely weanlings go under the hammer today and they attracted plenty of bids," said Chester. "To have the clearance rate at almost 90% in this climate is pretty extraordinary. So many of the weanlings on offer exceeded their reserves by large amounts."
The 209 horses that sold grossed Aust$7,743,500 ($6,310,050 in U.S. funds). The average was Aust$37,050 ($30,191).
An Encosta de Lago colt out of 2004 Light Fingers Stakes (Aust-II) winner Sharp (by Danzero) brought the top price of Aust$300,000 ($244,465) from Magic Millions, as agent. Bylong Park Thoroughbreds consigned the brown weanling.
"He's by a champion sire and from a former top class mare trained by John Hawkes," said Bylong Park general manager David Burke. "He is probably the horse of the sale. He's a beautiful mover who is going to make up well later on."
Nineteen weanlings in the Stratheden Stud dispersal sold for a gross of Aust$950,250 ($774,343). The average was Aust$50,013 ($40,755).
A Fastnet Rock–Tivoli Dancer colt brought the second highest price of $170,000 ($138,530). Curraghmore Stud of New Zealand purchased him.

Hudson always disliked man accused of killing her family
Grammy and Oscar-winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson has testified that she had known the man charged with killing three members of her family since they were in middle school together, but never liked him.
She was the first witness called at the murder trial of William Balfour, who is charged with shooting dead Hudson's mother Darnell Donerson, 57, her brother Jason, 29, and her nephew Julian King, seven.
Balfour was married to Hudson's sister Julia.
He did not treat his wife or his son Julian King well, Hudson testified.
"I would tell her (Julia) over and over again not to marry William," she said.
Hudson testified about the harrowing day - October 24, 2008 - when she learned that her mother and brother were dead and her nephew was missing.
She flew home to Chicago and identified her mother and brother's bodies at the morgue.
On October 27, she was back at the morgue to identify her nephew's body.
Before Hudson moved out in the summer of 2006, the family had lived together in the same house in Chicago where the bodies of her mother and brother were found.
Julian King's body was found in a white SUV that Hudson had bought for her brother Jason.
Prosecutors say Balfour stole the vehicle, killed Julian in the back seat, and then abandoned it.
The murder weapon, a handgun which had been stolen from Hudson's brother Jason, was found in a vacant lot near the SUV, according to prosecutors.
In opening arguments at the trial, attorney Veryl Gambino described Balfour as a jealous and vindictive man who repeatedly threatened to kill Julia Hudson and her family.
"These weren't just words. They weren't just threats. They were deadly warnings of what was to come," Ms Gambino said.
If convicted, Balfour could face life in prison.
Hudson burst onto the music scene in 2004 when she performed on the television singing contest American Idol.
She subsequently won a Grammy for her debut album, and an Academy Award for her role in the movie Dreamgirls.
Defence lawyer Amy Thompson said during her opening statement that Balfour's DNA was not found on the murder weapon, or inside the SUV where Julian King's body was found.
She said the Chicago police knew the media would "explode" about the case because of the link to Hudson, and in their haste got the wrong man.
Ms Thompson told the jury that Jason Hudson was a drug dealer and had been shot twice previously, causing him to lose part of his left leg.
The police "did nothing to determine if it might have been Jason Hudson's violent business that led to him getting shot twice before, that led to these murders," Ms Thompson said.
She also noted that the Hudson family lived in Englewood - "probably the most dangerous neighbourhood in Chicago".
Asked during cross-examination if she knew what her brother did for a living, Jennifer Hudson said: "I don't really know."
Julia Hudson married Balfour in December 2006 - without telling Jennifer or Jason Hudson or their mother.
Julia Hudson testified that her husband became jealous when she got gifts from other people, and was jealous even of her son, telling Julian King not to kiss her.
She separated from Balfour in February 2008, but three months later he begged her to come back.
When she said she could not, Balfour said he would kill her family.
"If you leave me, you'll be the last to die," Julia Hudson said Balfour told her.
"I'm going to kill your family first."

A Father's Journal: Charleston tragedy underscores why sanctuaries matter
Updated 7:54 am, Thursday, July 2, 2015
I vaguely remember seeing the story on the shooting in Charleston online as a news flash. I did not click on it. I am clicking on fewer and fewer stories in the news these days. The more stories I click on, the more depressed I get.
A while later I saw "shooting in SC church." I don't know what denomination SC is. We are RC, Roman Catholic. I still was busy with whatever I was doing and did not click. I then saw "Mass shooting in Charleston." My daughter Caroline goes to college in Charleston. But still no click.
Then we got an email — something from her college about lockdown procedures. Then, my wife who is on the parents' email list, saw it going crazy. I started clicking like mad.
I talked to my children about it afterward. I was not that interested in a shooting, and as the story built, I still was not that interested. Until it hit home.
When the story developed and the gunman's friends told reporters his original target was the College of Charleston, my daughter's college, I selfishly began to pay attention. Did it really take all that to get my attention?
What got my attention and got me to click? That is was a black church and the gunman was a white racist? I was pretty busy at work that day. That nine people died? Not yet. That it was in Charleston, and the original target was my daughter's school? Now that got my attention, and I started to take notice.
Downtown historic Charleston is very compact, and my daughter had to go by the old historic Emmanuel AME church several times a week on her way to classes. She is back home now for the summer. The memorial for the church's minister was held in the college arena.
Caroline had a rough entry into the College of Charleston, with some roommate problems, so for the first semester of her freshman year, she spent quite a bit of time at the library. The library was her salvation that rocky first semester. When more of the shooting story came out, Caroline recognized the name of one of the nine victims — Cynthia Hurd, one of the college librarians. Caroline doesn't really remember interacting with her very much, just that she was one of the librarians that made the library a comfortable, welcoming place. Which in turn made her college a comfortable, welcoming place. We are indebted to Cynthia for this gift.
Caroline and our whole family have found a safe place in libraries, Starting with our favorite library, the Pequot Library. When it is closed at night we go to the main town library, or we used to go to the Fairfield Woods branch when were waiting for the kids to get out of choir rehearsal on Wednesday nights.
As a family, we have also found refuge in churches. We are Irish Catholic Jews, so it is a bit more complicated than with a library. But we have found solace, at St. Anthony's RC church on South Pine Creek. We also feel comfortable in synagogues.
Reading about the shooting, it was clear that the Emmanuel AME Church was, for the victims, their special place, their place of refuge. They were ministers and lay people. They welcomed the newcomer into their sanctuary and he sat with them for an hour in this historic place of refuge. They invited him to pray with them. I do not know what was going through his mind as he prayed with these people for an hour. He then opened fire on them.
Politicians and pundits of every stripe are trying to use the tragedy to prove some moral. Some moral that they had before the shooting. I don't know if there is a moral, or a reason, or any sense found here.
I am just grateful for the sanctuaries and the keepers of them.

Teva Links Mid
When it comes time to bolt flat pedals to my bike I more often than not end up reaching for my Teva Links shoes for their solid pedal feel and Goldilocks' Baby Bear grip.
A few weeks ago Teva sent us its beefed up version of the Links, the Links Mid, that features more toe protection and a higher cut.
My feet don't generally get along with mid-top shoes. It usually takes a few days of battling blisters before I build up enough calluses to comfortably rock anything with a higher ankle. I was surprised then, when after my first day of riding the Links Mids that my feet were blister and hot spot free.
Standing on the pedals, it's immediately noticeable that the added protection and higher ankle of the Mid does make the sole feel just a tad stiffer than the standard Links. Surprisingly, and thankfully, this didn't seem to affect the shoe/pedal feel at all.
Kick a few rocks and its readily apparent that the toe box of the Links Mids offers more protection than the standard versions, which is a nice sense of security when riding burlier downhill tracks with greater chances of bashing your feet against stones and stumps.
After a few shuttle rides in the shoes on the dusty trails of Southern California, I packed the Links Mids for my trip up to Whistler, BC, for the Shimano Saint media camp. On the third day of riding at the Saint launch, it had started to rain, and I was happy to have some waterproof shoes with high enough ankels to tuck into my pants and keep a majority of tire splash from finding its way directly into my shoes.
Despite having waterproof uppers, these shoes aren't likely to keep your feet dry if it is raining. They'll fend off splashes from the occasional stream crossing, but the holes for the laces and gap for the tongue (and of course the main foot hole at the top) will let water in. The waterproofing will only delay the inevitable, but this delay made my first few runs at the bike park drier and more enjoyable. While the main shoe bodies do a good job repelling water, the laces are basically sponges. This was annoying when trying to tighten or adjust the laces in the rain. They do stay tied tightly after a full day of riding in both sun or rain, so I can't complain all that much; and if you don't like the laces, it's a pretty easy after-market purchase.
So far I've been impressed by the Links Mid shoes. It's hard to tell how durable they'll be as of now, but if the standard Links is an indicator, which it should be, they should last a good long time.

Continued from page 1
Because Piketty presents (purportedly) comparable data from 1870 to 2010, and draws comparisons between the Belle Epoch (1870 to 1914) and the present, it is literally shocking that Piketty ignores the impact of welfare programs on the effective distribution of capital.
Piketty cites literature from around 1900 to make points about inequality of wealth. Many of the characters in the novels of Jane Austen and Honore de Balzac did not work, and never expected to work. Work was simply not a part of the lives of people in their social class.
This lifestyle was made possible by the Austen/Balzac characters' ownership of capital, the rents from which provided them with annual incomes of 50 to 100 times that of the average citizen of the time. So, for Piketty, the big deal about owning capital is that it provides income that you don't have to work for.
Well, the U.S. currently has more than 100 million working age people that don't work. Many of these people are being supported by family members, but there are millions of adults (18 – 65) that are living off our welfare state (including Social Security Disability). Because these people don't have labor income, in Piketty's model, they must be paying their bills with capital income.
Hmmmm. People that are able to live for years, if not their entire lives, without working. Sounds like characters in a Jane Austin novel, doesn't it?
But wait! Jane Austen's characters were rich, and people on welfare in the U.S. are poor, right? Well, let's see.
If America's welfare population (along with their lifestyles) were put in a time machine and sent back to the France of 1870, they would be viewed by the ordinary people of that time as a strange new aristocracy.
Our welfare recipients would be envied for their (comparatively) ample and varied food, (comparatively) large dwelling units, (comparatively) huge selection of clothing, amazing creature comforts (e.g., electric lights, indoor plumbing, air conditioning, washing machines, etc.), ability to travel at 80 miles an hour, capability to communicate with each other at the speed of light, and access to dazzling entertainment via flat panels on their walls.
However, what the ordinary French citizens of 1870 would probably be most envious of regarding our welfare population is their immunity to common infectious diseases, as well as their ability to easily cure the ones that they did get. And, of course, the ordinary people of 1870 France would envy our welfare recipients for the fact that they enjoyed their incredible lifestyle without having to work.
We can stop this line of discussion here. The point is that Piketty's painstakingly researched numbers are worthless, because they ignore the existence of the modern welfare state. Our various welfare programs redistribute a huge percentage of national income, and, therefore, for the purposes of Piketty's comparisons across time, they redistribute the beneficial ownership of capital.
Now, let's move on to the (many) other things that Piketty gets wrong.
Piketty seems to assert that it is possible (starting from here) to greatly increase the value of society's capital without, at the same time, greatly increasing its income. This is the only way that the capital/income ratio could double, as Piketty predicts that it will in the 21st century. However, the "Produced Assets" numbers from the U.S Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) belie Piketty's thesis.
As shown below, the GDP yield from nonresidential assets (valued at "market") has remained fairly constant over the past 62 years, oscillating around a mean value of about 44%.
There is a lot to this chart. For now, just note that the BEA data contradicts Piketty's prediction of an endlessly growing ratio of capital to national income. It also suggests that our growth rate is not limited to the 1.5%/year that Piketty projects. We could grow faster if we accumulated nonresidential assets faster. And, we could accomplish this by giving our companies and entrepreneurs an environment that is more conducive to investing capital within the U.S.
As an aside, residential assets produce a GDP return of about 8%. Even at this low rate of capital productivity, residential assets can produce the 5% return on capital for their owners that Piketty expects. This is because, as the BEA does the numbers, producing housing services (from existing residential assets) doesn't require any labor.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Keri Grinstead, Registration Division (7505P), Office of Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001; telephone number: (703) 308-8373; fax number: (703) 605-0781; email address: [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. General Information A. Does this action apply to me? You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer. The following list of North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include: Crop production (NAICS code 111). Animal production (NAICS code 112). Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311). Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532). B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA? 1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments, remember to: i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number). ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number. iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes. iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/or data that you used. v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be reproduced. vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and suggest alternatives. vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats. viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. 3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group, including minority and/or low income populations, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticide discussed in this document, compared to the general population. II. What action is the Agency taking? Under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the discretion of the EPA Administrator, a Federal or State agency may be exempted from any provision of FIFRA if the EPA Administrator determines that emergency conditions exist which require the exemption. Michigan Department of Agriculture has requested the EPA Administrator to issue a specific exemption for the use of kasugamycin on apples to control fire blight. Information in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part of this request. As part of this request, the applicant asserts that kasugamycin is needed to control streptomycin-resistant strains of Erwinia amylovora, the causal pathogen of fire blight, due to the lack of available alternatives and effective control practices; and significant economic losses will occur if this pest is not controlled. [[Page 11174]] The applicant proposes to make no more than three applications of Kasumin 2L on not more that 10,000 acres of apples between April 1 and May 31, 2013, in Antrim, Berrien, Cass, Grand Traverse, Ionia, Kent, Leelanau, Montcalm, Newaygo, Oceana, Ottawa, and Van Buren counties. As currently proposed, the maximum amount of product to be applied would be 30,000 gallons. This notice does not constitute a decision by EPA on the application itself. The regulations governing FIFRA section 18 requires publication of a notice of receipt of an application for a specific exemption proposing use of a new chemical (i.e., an active ingredient) which has not been registered by EPA. The notice provides an opportunity for public comment on the application. The Agency will review and consider all comments received during the comment period in determining whether to issue the specific exemption requested by the Michigan Department of Agriculture. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests. Dated: February 8, 2013. Daniel J. Rosenblatt, Acting Director, Registration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.

The Eye of Zeitoon by Talbot Mundy, Fiction
Shall I speak of Zeitoon? This, then: the Turks never conquered it! They came once and built a fort on the opposite mountainside, with guns to overawe us all. We took their fort by storm! We threw their cannon down a thousand feet into the bed of the torrent, and there they lie today! We took prisoner as many of their Arab zaptiehs as still were living -- It takes better than Osmanli to conquer the men of Zeitoon! (Jacketless library hardcover.)

"Fill In The Blank"March 10, 2009
The Kansas City Chiefs seem to have made all the right moves so far.
The Chiefs picked up probably the best quarterback on the market and made a good move in picking up a good defensive player all in one.
With one or two more players to add on the offensive and defensive lines the Chiefs should be in good shape.
There's 45 days until the draft and alot can happen between then as we have seen. Things are starting to look up for the Chiefs, but there still is one thing that is making me wonder. What are the Chiefs going to do about the running game?
The Chiefs have been making some noise around the league and have alot of teams wondering what are they going to do with Larry Johnson.
Please, Scott Pioli what are we going to do with him? All seems quiet on the Johnson front. Even Larry has not made a sound since saying he wants to leave.
I am sure there are some teams that are on the Johnson radar that is waiting like us. So I guess we have to grab a ticket and wait in line like the rest, but will somebody fill in the blank soon. Inquiring minds want to know.

It's United, you'll pay the penalty Liverpool
In the lunch-time clash on Saturday, Man Utd take on Liverpool in what is always a feisty affair. The Merseyside team will be desperate to take all three points after their stalemate against Spurs on Monday. The Man Utd win is 19/20, the draw is 21/10 and the away victory is 10/3.
Liverpool may have struggled in recent seasons but this is still a massive fixture for United. The fans despise each other and the hostility is usually picked up by the players. Both teams have home grown stars and the likes of Carragher and Gerrard for Liverpool and Scholes for United, know how important the game is to the local community.
Man Utd look a big price at 19/20 considering that they have home advantage. However, Liverpool have won four of the last seven league games against Man Utd overall and they also beat the Red Devils in the FA Cup two weeks ago.
Liverpool to win draw no bet is 2/1 and you can back them to win or draw at 17/20. Dalglish is likely to have watched United play against Chelsea last week and he will realise that United are weak at the back.
Rio Ferdinand is not the player of old and Jonny Evans looks good amongst better players. Liverpool will play on the counter attack and they have some cracking attacking players. Gerrard has scored four goals in his last five Premier League appearances against United. He is 10/3 to score anytime in the match.
He also takes all the set-pieces and he is back to full fitness. Man Utd had two penalties against Chelsea last week and another two awarded to them, when they played Stoke. To the neutral, it probably appears that Man United have a twelfth man or they go down easily and that is probably correct.
Referees love awarding penalties against the opposition at Old Trafford and it is 10/3 for a penalty to be awarded and scored. The Match Winner is Liverpool's Gerard OR United's Rooney to score a penalty at 4/1.
Fergy admitted he made a mistake by not starting Hernandez against Chelsea last week. He has scored in the final ten minutes of the last two Premier League games against Man Utd. He is 5/1 to score the last goal of the game.
If we take a look at the card markets, a red card looks too short at 12/5 but Over 6 Cards at 8/5 looks a possibility. There is the potential feud on the pitch between Evra and Suarez, if it does heat over, there could be plenty of cards.
There were hat-tricks scored in both meetings in the league last season, Berbatov (40/1) for United at Old Trafford and Dirk Kuyt (100/1) for Liverpool at Anfield. The most likely player to score a hat-trick could be Rooney at 20/1. He is a player for big occasions and as an Everton fan, he would love nothing more than sticking three goals past their arch-rivals.
