Chrissy Teigen x Balenciaga Cable Strap Small Shopper Bag: The Hostess with the MostestCategories:Other Brands
It seems Chrissy Teigen and I have a thing or two in common…we both love a black and white outfit! And I must say, her taste in bags and cat-eye sunnies is equally Snobby. The juxtaposition of tough cable straps and ladylike structure makes this Balenciaga (at Neiman Marcus for $1,615) a perfect symbol for Chrissy herself. She may have received mixed reviews as host of the Billboard Music Awards, but as Anna Wintour says, "If you can't be better than your competition, just dress better." And that she most certainly does. I love a girl who thinks of this as an off-duty look. The A.L.C. pencil skirt (at Intermix for $309, from $445) and on-trend crop top look incredible on her. It's clear to all around that this is a model – and one with model style to go along with it! Steal the look for yourself below…

I have worked with Jeanne Sullivan before, as she was a Board member for one of my companies. She was insightful, and most importantly a creative 'out of the box' thinker. Not one to play the standard 'what have you done for me lately' role; rather, she was regularly probing where we needed to be in the next few years and what moving parts had to line up to get us there. Most importantly, when we agreed on the strategic direction, she helped to get resources from the other Board members lined up to hit the target.PRIVATE: Members Only

Everything You Need For A Nursery
By Elizabeth Parker
Creating a nursery for your new baby can be one of the most fun and satisfying nesting experiences for a mom-to-be. And that's true now more than ever because of the wide variety of styles and colors available in furniture and fabrics. If you're staring at an empty room and don't know where to begin, we'll help you get started.
Let Yourself Dream a Little
Start looking through magazines for photos of rooms with colors you love that create the style and mood you're imagining in your nursery. Do you want a cozy country look, a clean, fresh modern style, a fun, colorful space? "Look for ideas that make you feel good and happy," says Leslie Sachs, a Los Angeles interior designer and owner of Breathing Room Designs, a design and decorating firm. Cut out the photos and keep them in a folder so you can refer to them. Visit furniture stores and pore through catalogs to get to know all the styles out there. At the same time, be sure your dream can fit with the room itself by taking some measurements.
"To really understand the space you'll be working with, draw a floor plan," says Sachs. "Get out the tape measure and write down the lengths of the walls, and draw a similar shape on a large piece of paper with the dimensions noted." To indicate solid walls, draw solid lines; for doorways and windows, make the lines broken. Then start penciling in your must-have pieces.
Must-have pieces:
» Crib
» Nursing chair
» Changing table
» Storage containers
» Dresser
» Rug

Professor Ko's research centers on the health problems that have emerged as a consequence of rapid urbanization and social inequity. He coordinates a research and training program on urban slum health in Brazil and is conducting prospective community-based studies on rat-borne leptospirosis, dengue, meningitis and respiratory infections. His research particularly focuses on understanding the transmission dynamics and natural history of leptospirosis, which is as a model for an infectious disease that has emerged in slum environments due to the interaction of climate, urban ecology and social marginalization. Current research combines multidisciplinary epidemiology, ecology and translational research-based approaches to identify prevention and control strategies that can be implemented in slum communities. More recently, Dr. Ko and his team has mobilized the public health research capacity at their site in the city of Salvador, Brazil to investigate the on-going outbreak of Zika virus infection and microcephaly. Dr. Ko is also Program Director at Yale for the Fogarty Global Health Equity Scholars Program which provides research training opportunities for US and LMIC post and pre-doctoral fellows at collaborating international sites.

(visited by Ross Finlayson)
27-May-2011 -- This is an easy confluence point to visit, if you happen to be in this remote region of south-eastern Oregon. It's just 0.4 miles west of US Highway 395, but a series of dirt roads - both formal and informal - take you almost to the point itself, which lies amid sagebrush, growing on a dry lake bed. A rock cairn left by previous visitors marks the point.
This confluence point reminded me a lot of 37N 115W in Nevada, which I visited last year. Both points are in remote desert regions, amid sagebrush on dry lake beds, and are just west of long, straight US highways that run north-south through the desert, with trails (made by off-road vehicles) nearby.

National Guard Trucks Can Drive Underwater?
Wha—? Maybe—? No, I have no idea, I'm not going to bother trying to evaluate. This surreal video apparently shows a pair of National Guard trucks driving down the street in Manville, NJ, fully submerged in water. At the end of the video, camo-uniformed guardsmen climb out the windows and onto the vehicles' roofs. As the increasingly annoying cameraman wonders, "How is that possible?"
OK, fine, one hypothesis: It's The Indian in the Cupboard, but with G.I. Joe and Hot Wheels, and they're driving through Legoland submerged in a puddle, not an actual hurricane-stricken town in New Jersey. Mystery solved, case closed! [YouTube, MyCentralJersey, Mirror]

This isnt some action packed fantasy/supernatural/dramaromance anime but a slow-paced "feel good" romance between a traveling merchant and a fox deity...
And for a god-human romance i think the drama was pretty good and realistic. You cant expect them to just have a quick chat about it dont you?
And Horo doesnt fall under the tsundere category either... most of the times she is just teasing Lawrence. She doesnt act differently when they are alone or with other ppl... i mean you cant call those few love-love moments the "personality change" of the typical tsundere girl.

Many people forget that the tsunderes that we are used to see lately are not the only tsundere types.
Remember Madoka from Kimagure Orange Road, she is counted as a tsundere, despite being different from moefied new versions like Louise and Shana.
Horo follows the classical (old) tsundere type rather closely. Similar to Sheryl from Macross Frontier. Its just that authors return back to the old type of tsundere rather than going with moe new one.

Whew, SFW finally released their subs of episode 12. I am not sure who's subs I prefer the most this season, but SFW or Mazui get my vote. As I've said, Frostii's take on Lawrence seems cold and uncertain, and it hurts his character (and thus the season, given that it was about his character's growth). Seeing Lawrence as confident and certain in the end is what made this rollercoaster of a season worth watching for me.

I finally got around ot watching this episode. Pretty much because I don't like Mazui, or Frostii's subs and I only wait for Subsf*ckingwhere release (much better translation). This episode was beautiful IMO.
Favorite scenes were Lawrence's confession, Horo' crying (c'mon you can't resist THAT), the "kiss", and finally that fantastic Horo frayed tail bush! Seeing her that frazzled was AWSOME. Lawrence did wail a little bit on Abe, but since she's a girl he went kinda easy on her.
OMG... a 3rd season would be great, but since Japan's anime producer's don't get a lot of financial support and have to rely on DVD sales.... if only they had a better support system like what we have in the US. Shows get money from advertisers that want to hawk their goods and they pay the TV companies. But the drawback is the TV companies base their programs on ratings only. If a show doesn't bring in enough viewership then the advertisers don't pay as much, and shows get cancelled.

I thought it was stated from the beginning that Horo was a wolf, not a fox, she even looks more like a wolf than a fox in "dog form." It's only the coloring in her human form that seems to throw people off.

Hmm, tbh I don't think I enjoyed this series as much as I could have, it was great to see some HoroxLawrence action at the end and to see their relationship progressing as the season continued, but I dunno, the ending left me feeling a little empty, Lawrence falling flat and all. At least there'll undoubtably be a third season sometime, I need more Spice and Wolf action, one of my top anime in terms of mood and setting! HoroxLawrence is still one of my favourite couples out there, looking forward to more development!

There really aren't any different species of wolves. There ARE sub-species and breeds, although they are almost exactly the same except for usual fur color and enviroment. Artic wolves can be pitch black, red or white, but white is the most common. Gray/timber wolves follow the same guideline. The changes of social structure, intellect, size, and such also rarely vary.

ok.. i just finally finished going through all 12 epps watching SFW, Mazui and frostiis subs back to back to determine which one im going to keep >_< took forever. I think mazuiis who im keeping for most, i need to go over my notes for the firsst several episodes, but mazui was overall better in most epps (except for 9 they kinda jacked up the scene in the alley i may keep sfw's version for that one)
one thing they all had kinda screwy though is the scene near the end of 12. What the hell does Abe wisper into lawrences ear? Can anyone kinda familiar with japanese fill me in? that scene never made any sense to me and all 3 subs are different its at 16:35 or so
Mazui she says 'i'm hoping'
sfw says 'I had high hopes for you'
frotii says 'because i had my expectations'
none of those make too much sense what does she actually say here? hopefully someone can fill me in because id rather just keep the mazui sub but that one line seems off. So anyone who has some basic japanese that can play that line and say wtf she is saying?
hopefully someone can clear this up because this has been seriously bugging me since i finished the show a while back
I probably have to wait for someone to actually know what she says exactly The question is why is she going down the crazy path of profit over everything even after she saw it destroy the guy that bought her.. the answer is... whatever she said. All them revolve around her hoping for something.. WHAT? it makes no sense to me i thought one of the subs would make sense when i compared all 3 but no luck
itd probably be best to rip the dialog and post it in a section here or somewhere else but im not sure what program to use for that hopefully someone here can help me out
*edit* got a clip of the scene with a crappy free ripping program but it got the audio so thats what matters*

Kitai means "expectation" or "hope," shite iru is the present progressive of "to do," kara means "because," and da is a copula. So..."Because I am hoping/expecting." So I'd say the mazui translation is the most literal. In Japanese, subject and direct objects are often left off to be inferred. I don't know if that helps you much, but that's what she said.

so basically she is just saying because i am hoping.. that still makes the scene quite confusing lol. Is the SFW translation adding meaning that isn't there, becaus if shes saying she had hopes for him that kinda makes a little sense. But the way you described it it sounds like maybe it really is her just saying she was hoping for... *blank* >_<
*edit* err someone else told me that she was explaining that she wants to have a baby or something and thats why shes working so hard to get money o_O that seems way off the wall, but maybe the 'i am expecting' thing fits into that? Still theres no indication of that anywhere else that im aware of

I also got the impression that once she realized how pathetically alike her and Lawrence really were, she couldn't bring herself to ruin him. That's why she gave him the deed to the inn and spared his life, despite running off with his money out of greed (or, since Abe apparently didn't need the money, it could also be presumed that she *wants* to be chased.. although that's stretching it).

if thats the case then she should have said something like 'im hoping for a better tomorow' or something along those lines.. just 'hoping...' makes no real sense and i dont really get the happy look at the end or Lawrences smiling reaction... it just makes no sense. She saw what that kind of greed leads people to, why would she go down the same path and just 'hope' it will turn out alright?
i think were all missing something
i guess thats just gonna stay as a confusing mar at the end of the story
i also kinda wondered what happened to the old man.. did abe kill him or was he waiting on the boat for her *shrug* dunno. The very end was also a bit strange, the dialog with horo and where they were walking to made it seem like they were going back after Abe to get their money back. That would be cool and i hope we see whats up with taht if they do ever make a 3rd season.. although its not looking so hot. I guess DVD sales havent been so hot
side note btw that i just found, a Horo workout vid! lol
man hope our dvds come with that. I guess season 1s almost here, full box set on release it looks like, awesome. Also looks like they went with Holo instead of Horo. I guess thats the 'right' way but i really like Horo better

And she's hoping against hope. She knows that despite how much money he had, her husband ended up just wanting more. Never really happy. She's hoping she won't be like him. Why? No reason. She's hoping against hope. It probably says something deep and touching about the human condition and progress, but whatever.

Graham Readfearn | April 16, 2013

A version of this post first appeared at RenewEconomy.
WHEN Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced that former Woodside gas company executive and lobbyist Gary Gray was Australia's new energy and resources minister, questions turned quickly to his position on climate change.
Did he accept the science, or was he a denier?
For the record, Gray told journalists that he was a reformed sceptic and now accepted that humans were influencing the climate. Gray's publically stated view puts him with the majority of Australians.
But regular readers of The Australian newspaper, or the many columnists in the News Ltd press might think the country is awash with scepticism.
"The media will often report on what the public thinks about climate change – and they are getting it wrong," says Professor Joseph Reser, of Griffith University's School of Psychology, who has led one of the most extensive and detailed surveys into Australian attitudes to climate change and the underpinning science.
After asking 7,500 Australians about their attitudes to climate change and their acceptance that humans are having something to do with it, Reser says the vast majority of people accept the science – it's happening and humans have a hand in it.
Several studies have pointed out just how difficult it can be to get a true picture of the general public's view on climate change. Not to mention how people's economic views – such as support for the free market – or political views are closely aligned with their views on climate change.
A US study earlier this year found that, not surprisingly, members of the public and the media tend to be more sceptical about global warming if you ask them during a cold snap. Another US study last year found that asking people about global warming during a hot spell could increase the number of "believers" by almost six percentage points. One study has even found that people were more likely to accept the science on global warming if they were sitting close to dead plants.
How the questions are phrased can also skew the results, an analysis of hundreds of polls found last month.
So what do Australians really think? Or rather, what do various surveys claim they think?
The free market think tank the Institute of Public Affairs, which has long promoted climate science denial, said last year that only one third of Australians thought humans were to blame for global warming. In 2010, a report in the Herald Sun newspaper also told readers two thirds of Australians were "not convinced" by man made climate change.
The Lowy Institute annually polls opinions about climate change. The number of people saying Australia shouldn't act "until we are sure that global warming is a problem" rose from seven per cent in 2006 to 18 per cent in 2012.
Surveys by The Climate Institute in 2012 found 69 per cent of people attribute climate change to a combination of natural and human causes – a position on the science relatively close to reality. In the US, a new Gallup survey finds 57 per cent of Americans say climate chnage is caused by pollution from humans..
Professor Reser's research for the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility uses much larger sample sizes and is set up to ask questions in a variety of ways and to allow for greater uncertainty. Reser finds some 83 per cent of Australians have the science about right - climate change is happening and humans and natural cycles play a role.
Only a tiny percentage – about eight per cent or less depending on the criteria – could be considered genuine climate science deniers. Only about four per cent of people refused to accept climate change existed regardless of any cause.
"Social science based survey findings show consistently that the majority of Americans, British and Australians accept climate change is happening and they accept the science and they are concerned. And yes, there are seven to 10 per cent of people who are very dismissive."
Professor Iain Walker is a research leader at the Government-funded research agency CSIRO which has twice surveyed 5000 Australians on their views about climate change and their acceptance of the science.
In those surveys, where people could choose from four statements about climate change and its causes, about 40 per cent of Australians accept climate change but say the causes are natural. Half say it's largely caused by humans.
The discrepancy between this survey and Professor Reser's is most likely down to the methodology, how the questions are framed, how people interpret the words "climate change" and how in the CSIRO study, only four options were given with a yes or no answer.
Prof Walker says when you look across the most substantive surveys around the world and in Australia "the vast majority of people accept it's happening and humans are involved to some extent or another."
A study co-authored by Walker and published in the journal Nature Climate Change looked at how accurate people's own estimates of the views of the rest of the community were.
The research found only about five per cent of people thought climate change was not happening. But when this group was asked how many people in the population shared that view, they estimated about half. People also greatly overestimated how many people they thought didn't know about the causes of climate change.
People who say climate change is driven by human activity tended to underestimate slightly how many people in the community thought the same.
The implications of this are obvious. Sceptics are more confident in speaking out because they think they belong to a sizeable group. People who accept the science think they might be outnumbered if they speak out when the evidence strongly suggests they belong to the majority.
Prof Walker says: "The media representation of the climate change debate is one way you can explain why it is that people so grossly overestimate the proportion of contrarians in the population."
So why, if the media are doing such a bad job of correctly reflecting the public's view, aren't there more sceptics? The answer could be that people lend much more credibility to scientists than they do to the media and government.
In Reser's research, respondents were asked to grade from one to six how much they trusted (six being "completely" and 1 being "not at all" ) scientists, the media and government as sources of information on environmental issues – not on climate change alone.
Some 53 per cent of people gave a score of five or six to the scientists – indicating a high level of trust. On the same measure, the Government rated poorly with just 9.4 per cent of people. The media scored a disastrous 5.1 per cent. A poll in the UK by Carbon Brief also found people there had high levels of trust in scientists.
"The media has low credibility with the public" says Reser. "But around the world, the vast majority of scientists – say 97 per cent or more – are worried and accept that climate change is happening. I think the public is aware of that fact."

Can you say Dunning-Kruger Effect?
That's a beauty. I knew the
That's a beauty. I knew the Dunning-Kruger effect quite well, but hadn't seen that video.
The amount of times I have run into people like that who are screaming in caps "It's a FACT!!", when clearly the thing they are refering to is an opinion is countless.
Even the pitiful amount of
Even the pitiful amount of pro coverage amongst a sea of denialism the MSM gives climate change, gets denier devotees enraged and has them howling that ALL the stories are pro climate change science. Such is their level of indoctrination by vested interests to have them lobby on their behalf.
If the deniers on this site and on various various we all frequent are anything to go by. Polling of them would show trust in right wing MSM 100%. Trust in scientists other than denier scientists….0.0001%.
Round here...
… we've got bona fide conspiracy theorists …
"only special people like me can see through these conspiracies." a guy said to me quite proudly. Personally, LOLing as I did is probably not helping. For many of these people its a matter of mental illness. I have found that pointing out these beliefs to others has changed the way those people are viewed. (I'm not the only one snorting derisively.)
"only special people like me
"only special people like me can see through these conspiracies."
Lol, it's like you plucked recent discussions I have had out of the air magically, haha.
I had a discussion with a guy recently who had that line of argument. It was the NWO and the Rothchilds owned everything.
Didn't you know?!! The Rothchilds own HALF THE WORLDS WEALTH ! They are manipulating this whole climate change hoax to take over the rest of the wealth.
He then proceeded to supply a you tube video someone talking about the Rothchilds from decades ago:
The Money Masters
Then sealed the deal, with high level irrefutable evidence that trumps any peer review…..another you tube video on the NWO and how oil and climate change etc is linked to them, as well as everything else you could imagine.
The Road to World War 3:
I laughed and felt sorry for the guy, but he was enraged and screamed at me more that it's all there! Pictures don't lie! It's in the video!
*slaps forehead*.
What do you do?! No evidence, explanation or convincing would change his mind. A proud product of the MSM. These people vote! We have compulsory voting here in Oz.
Great job Murdoch and Alex Jones….great job.
By the way, talking about the IPA in Grahams story, they had a birthday bash recently in which many of the major shareholders of the MSM in our country attended, including Murdoch and Rhinehart and even our future Prime Minister ( if the polls here are anything to go by).
They have a list of 75 recommendations through their fossil fuel funders and Murdochs that they want legislated.
Our future Prime Minster hopeful come September, has already agreed to 10 of the ideas. Mostly involving killing off any climate change departments and the carbon tax etc.
1 Repeal the carbon tax, and don't replace it. It will be one thing to remove the burden of the carbon tax from the Australian economy. But if it is just replaced by another costly scheme, most of the benefits will be undone.
2 Abolish the Department of Climate Change
3 Abolish the Clean Energy Fund
6 Repeal the renewable energy target
10 Withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol
Interestingly, also on the list are things like :
"72 Privatise the CSIRO"
So that naturally, scientific research cannot be independent, be based on facts and can say whatever the plutocrats want them to say.
"50 Break up the ABC and put out to tender each individual function"
51 Privatise SBS
The ABC and SBS are the only non privately owned centrist sources of news in Australia. Where as everything else is owned by conservatives. Naturally they don't want alternative "facts". They want a one stop shop for the "truth".
… brings us to a load of horse shit;
Aye, tis true.
Aye, tis true.
Relax, it's just business. Conclusion from recent study...
I want to think it is because of evil intent, but it is just business intent. But misinformation either selfish or ignorant amount to capitalism self-destruction

Shame on John Murtha
Those of us who support the war feel real pain at the prospect of even a sliver of its warriors stooping so low. Part of that pain stems from a wish that every American serve nobly. The other part is from the prospect of our talented and committed military's reputation damaged by the acts of so few.
There is none of that sentiment in the finger-pointing of Mr. Murtha and his ilk – only the zealotry that looks for any angle, any story, any tragedy that can make our war effort look so bad that others might join their calls for retreat.
